Chapter 368 125/126
After a month, at the end of October, the celebrity battle, the throne battle, the Tianyuan battle, and the preliminaries ended one after another.
In these three games, without exception, Hiroshi Chihara all qualified for this competition.
Just as he was preparing for the three upcoming title battles, an uninvited guest knocked on his door on the last day of October.
"Mr. Yaguchi, who is this?"
There were two people standing at the door, one of whom was a sycophant, while the other was a little older and his hair looked oily and shiny because of his wax.
As soon as the stranger saw him, he quickly grabbed his hand and said, "I have long admired Daming."
The slutty man seemed a little unconscious, and even smiled a little reluctantly, and introduced:
"This is Mr. Haishou of Chess and Road."
Mr. Haishou immediately took out a business card and respectfully handed it to his hand:
"I am a man from the sea to the Dafu. If you have any talent, please give me some advice!"
Since the last incident, even to the slut, his attitude has become much colder, let alone a stranger, so he just asked politely:
"Mr. Haishou, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing that he had no intention of inviting them into the door, Haishou Daisuke was a little sorry, but he didn't show his face and said:
"I came here this time mainly to explain to you the situation of some magazines."
Chihara Hiroshi shook his head and said:
"This is an internal matter of your magazine. There is no need to tell me. If there is nothing else, please come back."
"No, you are also a consultant to our magazine, of course you have the right to know some things! Teacher Chihara, I know we have made some mistakes, so please give us a chance to correct us!" Daisuke Hae-sou hurriedly stepped forward, his voice as he spoke was extremely fast.
Chihara Hiroshi corrected:
"Not your magazine's consultant, but just the consultant of "Go Paradise"!"
However, when the other party said this, he had to open the door completely, let go of his body, and let the two of them in.
Three people sat on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing the other party take out a recorder and put it on the coffee table, Chihara Hiroshi's face changed and his tone was slightly cold:
"If you want to have an interview, please go back!"
"Ah? You misunderstood. I'm used to it. I'm really sorry..." Daisuke Hae-sou had to take the recorder back into his bag.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Faced with his inquiry, Yamato's mouth still said nothing, and Daisuke Hashi glanced at him, sure that he had no intention of speaking, his expression seemed a little subtle, and finally said:
"Teacher Chihara, this time I came here mainly about the contract between you and our club..."
It turned out that the other party wanted to extend the contract between the two parties. The version signed by both parties before was only valid for half a year. This time the other party hoped to sign a long contract.
"...Of course, for your remuneration, we will also increase from 150,000 yen to 200,000 yen! If you agree, we can sign now!"
As he said that, he took out a contract from his briefcase and placed it in front of him.
Hiroshi Chihara did not respond, but picked up the contract first and flipped it a few times:
Compared with the previous version, this version is obviously much thicker, and it is no longer his unilateral right, and it also stipulates some obligations in a scattered manner.
And the deadline-
Five years!
He was not angry, but patiently saw the end.
Daisuke Hae Shou took out the second contract from his bag, prepared a signing pen, and came to him diligently, saying:
"Teacher Chihara, how about it? If you are still satisfied, you can sign it now!"
Hiroshi Chihara looked up at the other party:
I don’t know if it’s because of the improvement of ‘physical fitness’, but now he often notices some details that were difficult to detect before when he looks at people.
For example, now, from the other person's expression, he saw self-righteous arrogance and disdain, but his emotions had not changed. He calmly pushed away the pen handed over by the other person and said:
"I was seventeen years old and only half a year after entering the trajectory. I have never met six big mountains in the Japanese chess world, except Kobayashi Koichi and Masao Kato, everyone else has lost to me. So far, I have played a total of 126 games in the professional arena, winning 125 of them.
"Although you are old, you may have been in the chess world for a short time. I don't know what this means, but you can ask Mr. Yaguchi next to you.
"I will buy out my 200,000 yen a month for five years. It would be ridiculous to say something unrespectful."
After hearing these words of hidden needles in Mian, Daisuke Hashi was a little stunned:
Originally, he thought the other party was just a child, what could he understand? He heard a few words from him and he would sign the contract. After all, with the current situation, 200,000 yen per month is already a lot, but he did not expect to be hit with such a counterattack.
The silence of the side, Yaguya, who had been silent for a long time, also looked at him with some surprise:
The image he showed before was a young genius who was unrestrained and confident. Unexpectedly, he had such a side that he would not be rude when he hurt others.
Bang!
The contract fell on the coffee table, and then the voice of Hiroshi Chihara sounded:
"I can't sign this contract."
Daisuke Hae-sou stood up and said while bowing:
"Teacher Chihara, if you are not satisfied with the conditions, we can talk about it again! Regarding your remuneration, if it is not possible to have 200,000 yen--"
He gritted his teeth and directly gave the bottom line of the headquarters:
"350,000! How about 350,000 yen?"
Hiroshi Chihara said speechlessly:
"You misunderstood, it's not a matter of reward."
"If it's not a reward, is it because of the number of years of contract? We can shorten it. What do you think about three years? If it doesn't work, two years can..."
Chihara Hiroshi stopped him and said:
"It has nothing to do with what you said. I had already decided to not renew the contract with you after the end of my contract."
This is a decision he made earlier.
The reason is that in addition to being disgusted by the operation of the Kansai Chess Club last time, he also considers his subsequent development.
As his championships increase, titles will be a matter of time sooner or later. At this time, the contract has become his shackles.
For example, in the last incident, many people believed it because he signed a contract with the agency:
‘How could a chess magazine with this position be arranged by Hiroshi Chihara? It must be true!’
Daisuke Hashi was still persuading, and even felt a little pleading. He closed his mouth until he saw that Chihara's face looked a little ugly.
"Teacher Chihara, can't you really renew the visa?" He still didn't give up and asked again.
Qianhara Hiroshi snorted, his tone was very bad, and he said:
Chapter completed!
