"Can you drop the exclusive agency rights?"
Professor Yajima devoured three bites of the roast on his plate, tossed aside the skewer, and after glancing at the approaching agent for a few seconds, asked leisurely.
"It's not quite right to say that, of course, we still want it. Professor Yajima, fifty million dollars, any gallery offering such a big contract would demand exclusive rights."
Hanks chuckled awkwardly.
The so-called exclusive agency means that the contracted artist can only collaborate with their gallery during the contract period.
Whether it's selling works, exhibiting, or auctioning, it all has to go through Ma Shi Gallery's channels.
Only then can they be considered the gallery's representing artist.
Otherwise, while they're going all out to promote Uncle Sakai, he could turn around and sell his paintings through another gallery, or even bypass the gallery and contact auction houses directly.
