Signing the contract while reviewing...?

Is there any other way to say this?

Compared with Tanaka Ken, Fukure Kirito is still too young. When she heard him say this, she was instinctively stunned.

Then he figured it out.

The so-called review is actually for Hayakawa Su and the people above to see, it means that they have reviewed it - face work still needs to be done.

But in fact, Higashinoji has been confirmed by default.

"I'll call Mr. Higashino right now."

After thinking about this, Shenmu Qiren also nodded, took out his cell phone, walked outside the office, and called Higashinoji.

He quickly informed Higashinoji of the specific situation.

"Huh? You want me to come over and attend the review meeting?" Higashinoji, who was busy refining the first draft of Kumamon, stopped what he was doing when he heard this and asked in confusion: "It seems a bit awkward for me to attend the review meeting, right?

?Shen Mu Sang?"

"The situation this time is quite special, and it would definitely be better for you, Mr. Higashino, as the designer, to illustrate the image of Kumamon."

"...Really? Then please let me prepare. I'll be right over."

Higashinoji couldn't help but continue to refuse. After saying something, he looked at Higashino Chihaya who was sitting on the bed watching TV: "Sister Chihaya, I have something to do and I have to go out for a while. You stay in the room obediently."

He opened a pack of horse meat jerky as a snack for Higashino Chihaya, then touched her head and quickly went downstairs.

About half an hour later, Higashinoji arrived at the downstairs of the Kumamoto Prefecture Publicity Department according to the address given by Kirito Fumugure.

At this time, Shenmu Qiren and another middle-aged man were standing downstairs waiting for Higashinoji. Seeing him coming, Shenmu Qiren hurriedly came up to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Higashino, because I have to prepare for the meeting.

, so I can’t pick you up in person.”

"It's okay, Shenmu-san's work is the first priority." Higashino nodded with a smile, then looked curiously at the middle-aged man next to Shenmu Qiren: "This gentleman is..."

"This is Minister Tanaka, who is responsible for the specific promotion of Kumamoto Prefecture's mascot."

Higashinoji only reacted after hearing Shenmu Qiren's introduction.

Isn't this the immediate boss of Shen Mu Qiren?

After he realized this, he immediately stretched out his hand and said hello politely: "Hello, Minister Tanaka."

"Hello, Mr. Higashino." Tanaka Ken glanced at Higashinoji's appearance, then turned around and smiled and praised Akito Fukagure: "Teacher Higashino is really a young genius. He is the lucky general of our Kumamoto Prefecture. This

At such a young age, he actually designed the mascot image of Kumamon.”

His words were full of appreciation.

Yes, Higashinoji is too young and doesn't look like he can do anything.

But it is precisely this kind of young people who designed the best mascot image so far, Kumamon.

Tanaka Ken naturally admires Higashinoji a little.

At the same time, he also sighed inexplicably... Sure enough, today's era is still young

The three of them talked downstairs for a while, and then a call came from Tanaka Ken's cell phone.

Apparently the preparations for the meeting over there are ready.

"Teacher Higashino, we need you to assist us in the review this time. Regarding the image of Kumamon, if you have any other novel ideas, please feel free to speak out."

Tanaka Ken made a 'please' gesture, and Higashinoji smiled and waved his hand: "I can only say that I will do my best, Minister Tanaka."

What novel idea? As far as Higashinoji is concerned, he can only say that he tried his best.

They took Higashinoji into the conference room, which was a very ordinary conference room.

It is a long table with a window, and there is an explanation desk at the top of the table, which is also equipped with a small microphone and projector.

On the white screen of the projector, computer slides have been prepared, and it is the first draft of Kumamon prepared by Higashinoji.

"Now Mr. Higashino, the main designer of Kumamon, will explain to us the mascot image of 'Kumamon'."

Tanaka Ken announced on the stage, and then gave up the main explanation stage to Higashinoji.

This battle...

Higashikata's face looked a little strange.

At a glance, there were about ten or twenty people below, and it felt like the entire publicity and development department was here.

If Tanaka Ken had not just said that this was a review meeting, Higashinoji would have even thought that this was the scene to confirm his cooperation with the Kumamoto Prefectural Government.

But forget it...

Higashinoji threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, walked onto the stage solemnly, and began to explain the image of Kumamon.

The explanation of the image of Kumamon is not complicated. After all, the copywriter is Higashino Tsukasa. He starts with the image design of Kumamon.

Why is this color scheme adopted and why is this image of a pot-bellied black bear used?

Then he jumped from image design to Kumamon’s action design.

The members of the publicity department below looked at the cute and honest Kumamon on the slides, and they all felt excited.

The female members are attracted by Kumamon’s honest and cute nature, while the male members are especially attracted by Kumamon’s cute and mean-spirited actions.

This image, in a sense, really suits both men and women.

It's neither girly nor too tough, and the right sense of centering made many members of the publicity department nod secretly.

"I think that only this design is suitable for the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture. Although there are no bears in Kumamoto Prefecture, we can create a unique Kumamoto bear."

This sentence is well said.

Many people below nodded at Higashinoji's words.

Yes, this is the image of Kumamon in their minds, what was submitted by Kirito Fumugure before.

Either skylarks or prawns, it seems like there are no other specialties in Kumamoto Prefecture.

And the phrase 'the unique Kumamon'... this also touched their hearts.

As long as they work hard to publicize it, maybe one day the image of Kumamon will become popular in Japan?

And the image of Kumamon is... really interesting.

When it comes to Kumamoto, everyone thinks of Kumamoto Prefecture. When it comes to Kumamoto Prefecture, everyone thinks of Kumamon.

Some of the female members present were a little impatient. They decided that if the review meeting failed, they would secretly go to Higashinoji and ask him for two original manuscripts of Kumamon - at least that's what Hiyori Aoki thought.

Hiyori Aoki is a member of the Publicity Department who just joined the company this year. He has connections and a good academic background, so he was directly assigned to the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot design planning team.

It's not that she has any objections to Kirito Fumugure, but the Kumamoto Prefecture Hibari mascot submitted a few times was too...how should I put it?

It’s not a question of whether it looks good or not. The problem is that the Hibari mascot from the past few times looked very old-fashioned and rustic. Although the Hibari mascot looked cute, I always felt that it was the Showa era style that middle-aged and elderly people liked.

The type is simply not in line with the trendy things that young people like him like.

Originally, she thought she would see the rustic Showa-type mascot submitted by Kirito Fukugu again today, but she didn't expect that this time it was completely different.

"So cute..." Hiyori Aoki looked at the rolling, akimbo, waving, and jumping Kumamon bear on the screen, with a face full of heartbeat.

There is a saying that women have zero resistance to cute things.

Even if Hiyori Aoki is already working, she is still a girl in her twenties. When she sees cute things, she will naturally want to buy them and spend money.

Who doesn’t like the chubby and round Kumamon on the white projection screen?

At least Hiyori Aoki is irresistible.

Therefore, when I heard Ken Tanaka walk up to the stage and say, "The voting for Mr. Higashino's Kumamon design will begin now. Those who agree with this design please raise your hands." Hiyori Aoki did not hesitate.

raised his hand.

After raising her hand, she was still looking around, as if I was worried about whoever didn't raise her hand.

This must be Kumamon! What are you still hesitating about? Put your hands up!

It seems that the design image of Kumamon is really popular, or perhaps the prayer in Hiyori Aoki's heart has had an effect, because the conference room is really packed with people raising their hands.

At a glance, there seemed to be only one or two people who didn't raise their hands.

"Okay, mostly passed."

Tanaka Ken nodded and announced simply; "Then I announce that the design of the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot has been finalized, and the various publicity departments can start working. From the logistics team, I will see Kumamoto's leather case tomorrow.

.”

Tanaka Ken was very neat and resolute in his work, and he settled many things in one go.

But...his words stunned Higashinoji next to him.

Um?

Isn't this a review meeting? Why did you suddenly decide to cooperate with him?

Although establishing a partnership is a good thing.

But... Higashinoji thought it would be better to ask more clearly: "Shen Mu-san, is this...?"

Higashinoji looked at Shenmu Qiren sitting next to him and asked somewhat inexplicably.

"Actually, this is something Minister Tanaka decided before."

Fukure Kirito smiled and answered Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, you should understand the quality of the Kumamon you drew, so..."

He gave Higashinoji a wink, but did not spell out all the words.

So that’s it.

There was no need for Shenmu Qiren to explain it clearly. After looking at his eyes, Higashi Yesi immediately understood.

This should be because Tanaka Ken liked his own design, so he decided directly on it.

This review meeting is only for others to see. It is equivalent to "We have reviewed it specifically and it was decided together by everyone in the meeting. It is very democratic and not dictatorial."

But in fact, even if this review meeting had not been held, there was a high probability that Kumamon from Higashino Division would have obtained the qualification to create the mascot.

"So that's it. Please let me express my gratitude to Minister Tanaka, Fumaki-san."

"That's no need." Shengure Kirito waved her hand: "In fact, Mr. Higashino, the image of Kumamon you drew is indeed the best mascot image currently. This can be seen from the fact that most people voted for it."

Yes, the quality of Higashinoji's works is there.

If it weren't for the excellent finish quality, Tanaka Ken wouldn't have made the final decision in such a hurry.

What can be said is that obtaining the unofficial qualification was also based on Higashinoji's own strength.

"Teacher Higashino, can you please wait a moment? We will prepare the contract right away."

Shen Mu Qiren spoke again.

He was quite anxious and wanted to get this thing done as quickly as possible.

But he also considered that Mr. Higashino might not understand the terms of the contract, so he said kindly: "Do you need us to prepare a special legal lawyer for you? This will also help Mr. Higashino understand the terms of the contract we have prepared."

"That's no need." Higashino smiled and shook his head.

He had done such things as signing contracts and cooperation in his previous life.

"Well, okay, then I'll trouble Shen Mu-sang."

Higashino didn't refuse and simply nodded.

He also wanted to finalize this matter quickly.

...

After waiting here for almost half an hour, Shen Mu Qiren had already prepared the contract.

Tonoji picked it up and scanned it carefully.

The first is the 3 million yen spent to create the image of Kumamon, which is clearly marked on the contract.

But this is just a small amount of money, and the most important thing is the following - 2% of the peripheral income generated by Kumamon shall be counted as Higashino's income.

Two percent gain...

This may sound like very little.

But for the image of Kumamon, it can be regarded as a huge sum of money!

You must know that in Higashinoji's era, the image of this mean bear appeared on airplanes, Shinkansen trains, mobile phone cases, and keychains. Almost everything in Kumamoto Prefecture had images of this mean bear from top to bottom, and from bottom to top.

shadow.

Not to mention that this is only the profit of Kumamon in Japan. Once this image was launched, it quickly became popular throughout Asia. Even the people of China could not resist this cute creature and paid for it.

Still the same sentence.

Kumamon is a world-class internet celebrity.

So just taking this 2% rebate is enough for Toyoshi to make a lot of money.

Of course, Higashinoji doesn't just see profits and rebates, he also sees all other risk clauses.

There is also a confidentiality agreement in this contract, which stipulates that Higashinoji cannot disclose any details to the outside world before the image of Kumamon is released.

Higashinoji also had to ensure that the image and action design of Kumamon in the back could not be cut corners.

The right to use Kumamon Bear and the surrounding production rights are all owned by Kumamoto Prefecture...

Higashinoji scanned these one by one and finally nodded: "There is no problem with the contract, Shenmu-san."

He left his name at the signature place, then stood up and shook hands with Kirito Fukugu and Ken Tanaka: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. Fukugu-san, Minister Tanaka."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Fukure Kirito and Tanaka Ken laughed and held Higashinoji's palm.

In this way, Higashinoji has directly confirmed the signing and cooperation relationship with Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Please give me more advice in the future. From now on, Mr. Higashino will be the father of Kumamon in our Kumamoto Prefecture."

Tanaka Ken said a wisecrack, which made Toyoji stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Well, please give me some advice."
