While cats were still worrying about their later development, cat ear hair accessories still gained fame first.
Because Naoki Nagayama wisely applied for a design patent, many manufacturers called to inquire about patent fees.
In the past, Naoki Nagayama thought that this kind of patent could only make a fortune upfront, because various cat ear hair accessories would be created later, and as long as there were different styles, even the design patent would not be able to control it.
But what I didn't expect is that the big manufacturers of rb seem to be quite cautious in this regard. Many manufacturers hope to purchase the patent rights before production.
Naoki Nagayama used a patent royalty of 1 million yen to open the patent rights to almost all manufacturers who called. The only condition was that in the first year, Naoki Nagayama wanted 1% of the profit for each hair accessory, and thereafter
The patent period is 0.1%.
For this price, some manufacturers think it is too high, but most manufacturers are actually just trying to increase the diversity of their products and keep up with the latest trends, and do not think they will make much money. So far, only 6 manufacturers have signed patents with Halo Studio
Use Agreement.
After acquiring 6 million in one go, Nagayama Naoki once again lamented the correctness of "fame = money". With the popularity of cat ear hair accessories in the future, this agreement will bring benefits that will last for at least more than ten years.
Thinking about it this way, as the author of the original design, is it too casual to treat Akina and Akiho to a big meal as reward?
?
My conscience can't bear it. Besides, what if there is any dispute in the future due to the instigation of a thoughtful person...

Suddenly there were some flyers near Takadanobaba.
A single page the size of a book clearly states: "The big show of the disco weekend, "Cats Night" is coming soon!"
The background is a photo of the Wildcats performing the cat dance, as well as the address and time of the disco, as well as some program notes~
Friday evening,
Naoki Nagayama drove to the disco. This branch of the student street was becoming more and more prosperous. Some people already called it "Disco Road."
There are also more and more luxury cars parked on the roadside. From time to time, you can see car rental drivers wandering around, picking up exhausted or drunken young people and heading to their next destination.
There was still a long queue at the door of the disco, but this time Naoki Nagayama did not go in through the employee passage, but asked for the main entrance.
After previously communicating with Araki Shigetomo, the preliminary publicity and venue theme activity design of "Cats Night" were handed over to him, and it is said that it has been basically completed.
Of course the boss should come and inspect it.
After crossing the long queue and arriving at the door, the man in black suit guarding the door certainly recognized the boss, so he quickly opened the door and asked Naoki Nagayama to come in.
The young man queuing next to him was obviously dissatisfied: "Why can that guy jump in line? Everyone has been waiting in line for so long!"
The man in the black suit replied calmly: "Because he is the owner of this disco!"
To be honest, it feels pretty cool to jump in line like this...
........
A large poster of the Wildcats group has been hung on the partition wall at the door, and there are also cat hangings on the side door. When you open the door, with the loud music and noisy crowds, the first thing you see is the DJ console.
Giant cat puppets; the cat-eared hair accessories worn by the lead dancers are moving flexibly to the rhythm.
Long ribbons and decorative balloons were hung on the exposed steel roof; a collection of live photos of the Wildcats was also made on the wall.
Overall, the atmosphere of the theme night was almost the same, and Nagayama Naoki was quite satisfied.
Araki Shigechi also knew that the boss was coming and hurriedly came over to meet him.
The two left the noisy hall and came to the backstage.
"Naoki-kun, tomorrow's theme night has been arranged. The lights and music will be arranged according to the style of the Wildcats, and the background wall behind the DJ booth will be replaced with posters of the Wildcats."
"Even the lead dancers and service staff will dress like cat girls~"
"Haha, Shigechi-san's ability is really reassuring." Nagayama Naoki then asked, "Are there any advance checks on safety? It is estimated that the number of people coming tomorrow will be double that of today, and order on the scene must be maintained.
"
"Please don't worry. The manpower will be doubled tomorrow. We have also informed the police station in advance that there will be police patrolling the streets."

Weekends at Takadanobaba are always very lively.
Especially in Student Street, you can always see young people in twos and threes shopping together.
Since a famous disco opened here, there is a lot of traffic even at night.
During this period, at least the side road where the disco is located, and the restaurants and izakayas next to it have made a lot of money.
And this weekend, the disco invited the recently famous girl group Cats to participate in theme night activities, which made the student street's popularity skyrocket.
Some office workers also took this opportunity to come to the disco, hoping to meet the girl group that they could only see on TV before.
At the entrance of the disco, a neon light was used to shape a cat, and there was a poster of the Wild Cats at the entrance.
The ticket price for today's evening show is 5,000 yen, which is five times the previous price. There is also a limit of 500 people for the concert.
When you enter the venue, you will receive a cat ear headband, the unnumbered one.
When the time came, the first ones to enter were of course the fans who had queued up early. Everyone looked expectantly and put on cat ears immediately.
The inside of the disco is certainly more interesting, even the waiters wear cat ears, and the lead dancers’ cat ear suits are even more refreshing.
The DJ who used to be cool now wears a cat headband, like a doll attending a parent-child party. He stands on the elevated stage and acts cute, and also serves as a guest host.
As crowds continue to pour into the disco,
The place became more and more noisy,
The opening music could no longer satisfy the fans' excitement.
...
The atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up, and the DJ officially announced:
"Dear viewers, let us invite - cats!"
In the audience, the chorus of "cats! cats!" began to cheer.
After an iconic intro, the Wildcats jumped on the stage to the rhythm.
"Mina-san, I am Ohno Miterina in charge of facade!" "I am Princess Akiyama in charge of sexy!" "Ayuki Katagiri in charge of dance!"
"Ayano Fukuhara as the cute person!" "Saka Nonaka as the singer!"
"We are cats! Welcome everyone to our meeting! I hope everyone will like the next performance!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into cheers.
Amidst the chants of "cats! cats!", the Wildcats performed their iconic cat dance.
Unlike orthodox idol concerts, the Wildcats don't have many songs to perform.
However, each member performed a standard performance based on their own characteristics, which ran throughout the entire meeting.
Especially the hot dance led by the sexy actress Akiyama Feisha, accompanied by citypop, simply made the urban men and women in the audience excited.
The interaction between the Wildcats and the fans in the audience was very lively.
The black and white cat ear hair accessories with serial numbers embroidered as interactive prizes are even more popular among fans.
...
The meeting at Takadanobaba Disco lasted for nearly three hours.
The cheers in the stadium even spread through the thick soundproof walls, making the surrounding tourists look askance.
Outside the disco, you can even see a large number of fans who cannot enter the venue, waving light sticks.
They are all waiting to see the Wildcats when the show ends.
Police patrols can be seen outside the venue from time to time, and I am a little concerned about whether order can be maintained.
