048, Ming Cai, Ming Sui, this reward mother will take it for you first...
In the evening, the Nakamori family gathered in the living room.
"Nani?! 3 million?" Akio Nakamori suspected that he heard wrongly, "Akina, Akiho, weren't you deceived into doing something illegal?"
At this time, the Nakamori family did not fall into the trap of desire for money because of Akina's subsequent popularity. The family had occasional bumps and bumps, but overall they were still a united family.
When Akio Nakamori heard about this reward, the first thing he thought of was whether Akina and Akiho were involved in some black incident.
"What is illegal! We Akina Akiho will not do it." Chieko rolled her eyes at Mori Akio, "It seems to be some kind of design drawing."
Akina Nakamori was a little confused at first, but when she heard the design, she asked, "Is that the design of the hair accessory?"
The elder brother and eldest sister were also very curious, having never heard of it before: "What hair accessories?"
Mingsui immediately ran to the room and took out two cat ear hair accessories, this is it.
Akio Nakamori saw these two cat ear hair accessories, one black and one white: "The design of this? Is it so profitable?"
Brother Minghao obviously recognized him: "Could this hair accessory be the cat ears of the Wildcats!!!"
Then he took it and looked at it. When he saw the inner circle, he exclaimed: "These are 001 and 002!"
"The first batch of cat ears from the Wild Cat Group! The limited edition among the limited edition, the first 100 are the out of print among the out of print!"
This brother is obviously a fan of the Cats: "Akina-chan! Akiho-chan!!! Did you design the cat ears of the Wildcats?!!"
"Eh? Is the Wild Cat Group famous?"
Cats only appeared once in "Night Hit", and the few other shows were late-night shows. After that, the promotion channels began to focus on livehouses or discos, and most of the fans were adults.
Nakamori Minghao looked at the cat ear hair accessory in his hand. He wanted to grip it tightly but didn't dare to. He was breathing heavily and his face was a little red.
Akina and Akiho immediately understood what their brother was thinking, and immediately grabbed the cat ears: "Hagani-chan, don't even think about it!"
Akihiro Nakamori howled like a defeated dog: "Ah... these are 001 and 002, and Mi Terina Ohno is only 003!!!"
The whole family laughed when they looked at this living treasure.
The eldest sister Minghui said: "It seems that this hair accessory is really popular, and the reward seems to be real."
Chieko was still a little worried: "They also talked about what kind of contract to sign to avoid disputes and so on."
Nakamori Akio also thinks there is no problem: "Anyway, he has to pay Akina and Akiho. It will be right if the money is delivered. The contract may really be to avoid future disputes."
"Naoki-san seems to be a sincere person." Akina said, "And the idea was his idea. Akiho and I just drew the pictures according to what he said."
Chieko felt a little relieved: "After all, it's 3 million. Would anyone share such a large amount of money in vain? Obviously no one else knows that Akina and Akiho designed it."
"Maybe for rich people, 3 million is just a small amount of money."
"Naoki-san looks like a very rich person," Akiho interrupted, "When we met him twice before, he spent money lavishly."
The eldest sister, Akie Nakamori, also remembered: "It's true, I didn't even ask for money to develop the photos."
...
For the entertainment industry, those who can make money are the agencies, while the lower-level artists are having a hard time.
Some low-level artists even make a living by getting reimbursements from their offices for car fares.
If Nagayama Naoki had debuted as a regular advertising artist, he would only be getting a monthly salary of about 100,000 yen per month.
Fortunately, both advertisements were directly divided into shares as partners, and we must thank later generations for the two famous songs, otherwise how could we have loaned out a huge sum of nearly 200 million.
...
...
On Saturday morning, Naoki Nagayama drove to the small town of Kiyose early.
The Nakamori family is in this small town on the edge of Tokyo, not far from Kiyose Station.
The whole drive takes less than an hour.
The convertible sports car is very eye-catching in Tokyo, let alone in small towns. Many children pay attention to it.
Parking the car in the open space next to the house, Nagayama Naoki got out of the car carrying a fruit basket.
When you visit for the first time, don’t go empty-handed.
After ringing the doorbell, the person who opened the door was an older woman.
"First meeting, Mrs. Nakamori, I am Naoki Nagayama who we had arranged to visit before."
Although it was the first time to meet her, all four Nakamori sisters had met her before, and this one was of course Chieko Nakamori.
"It's our first time meeting you, but I heard Nagayama-kun's name more than once." Chieko took the fruit basket handed over by Nagayama Naoki, "It's too expensive."
"No, no, no disrespect, just call me Naoki." They entered the entrance while exchanging greetings.
As soon as they entered the Japanese-style room, a total of 7 pairs of eyes of the six Nakamori children and their father, Nakamori Akio, glanced at her, which really surprised Nagayama Naoki.
"Ah, everyone is here..." Naoki Nagayama smiled awkwardly, "Good morning everyone, I am Naoki Nagayama."
Ming Hui was older and quickly helped to save the situation: "Haha, Naoki-san was startled, please sit down quickly."
The other three sisters also greeted Naoki Nagayama.
Chieko also quickly served a cup of hot tea.
The Japanese-style room is not big, and there is only one table. Now that Naoki Nagayama is an outsider, there are only a few adults serving the table.
Keiko Nakamori introduced: "Naoki-san, this is our father Akio Nakamori, our second brother Akihiro Nakamori, and that over there is our third brother Akio Nakamori, you know the others."
The Nakamori couple, the eldest sister, the second brother, and Naoki Nagayama sat down on the tatami around a low table.
As the head of the family, Nakamori Akio spoke first: "Nagayama-kun, yesterday I heard my wife say that Akina and Akiho helped others. Can you please elaborate?"
"Hi, Mr. Nakamori," Nagayama Naoki organized the conversation, "It's actually not complicated. I happened to know the four daughters of the Nakamori family before, and I learned through the replies that Akina-san has a talent for painting."
(It’s just an ordinary painting, how can I have any talent... Akina is very embarrassed on the side.)
"It happened that the company needed to make costumes for an idol group. I thought of an idea but couldn't draw it, so I asked Akina-san and Akiho-san to help me draw it."
"It was originally just a costume for a performance, but I didn't expect that many people would like it, and a manufacturer already wanted to produce it."
"I made a little money, and the thought of just treating the creator to a meal... was really outrageous, so I wanted to give him a reward this time."
The Nakamori family listened quietly. It wasn't until Nagayama Naoki finished speaking that Nakamori Akio continued: "With all due respect, I heard Akina and the others say before that actually it was Nagayama-kun who came up with the idea, and Akina and Akiho were also under Nagayama-kun.
Drawn under the description.
Logically speaking, there is no need to share such a large amount of remuneration with us, why does Mr. Yongshan want to share it now? And what is the reason for signing a contract?"
"Ah, regarding this point, the cat-ear headwear has actually applied for a patent, so there should be no problem legally.
However, the original design drawings were drawn by Akina and Akio-san after all.
The Wild Cat Group currently has great development potential. As their characteristic, cat ear hair accessories are closely related to the overall image. The company does not want any disputes or taint on such matters in the future, so it wants to sign a formal commissioned creation agreement and combine everything
Formalized."
In fact, it’s just Naoki Nagayama who doesn’t want to take advantage of the two little girls.
Previously, when I got excited, I randomly found two people to draw design drawings, and then treated them to a meal as payment.
Now that cat ear hair accessories are making money, I feel like I am taking advantage.
However, if you think about it from a businessman's point of view, this is indeed a dispute. When Nakamori Akina becomes famous in the future, there may not be anyone who is interested in using this to gain profits or promote it.
"I see, then we understand." With a straightforward interest analysis, Nakamori Akio was relieved.
Chieko said at this time: "I said before that I would give 3 million to Akina Akiho. Is this true?"
"Hey, currently there are about 6 manufacturers paying the patent royalties, and they have made 6 million, so in the early stage, I thought that both parties would get half. If Mrs. Nakamori is not satisfied, this can still be discussed."
Nagayama Naoki continued, "However, there is no subsequent patent sharing, which is one of the company's bottom lines."
"Ah, I didn't say I was dissatisfied..." Chieko waved her hands. As for the subsequent share, they had not thought about it.
...
After understanding the whole story, the follow-up went smoothly.
Naoki Nagayama has already made a sample contract. Both parties have determined the amount of remuneration. Akina and Akiho then signed it and their parents stamped it as proof of supervision.
After that, Naoki Nagayama handed two cowhide envelopes to Akina and Akio.
"Mr. Nakamori, Mrs. Nakamori, since the matter has been settled, I won't bother you anymore."
After signing the contract, Minghao, the second oldest, took Naoki Nagayama and asked him many questions about the Wildcats. After chatting for a while, he couldn't help but leave.
"Won't Mr. Nagayama stay for lunch?" Chieko said politely.
"Thank you very much, but there is still something going on at the company..." The main thing is eating under 8 pairs of eyes, which is really stressful.
Akina and Akiho said from the side: "Naoki-san, let's go out and play together again if we have a chance~"
"Well, of course." Nagayama Naoki looked around and said, "Akie-san, Akiko-san, Akina-san, Akiho-san, everyone from the Nakamori family, I'll see you when we get the chance."
During the formal conversation, they had no chance to speak, and as for the young Mingfa, he didn't even speak.
...
It wasn't until Naoki Nagayama drove away that the Nakamori family began to become active again.
Looking at the car in the distance, Nakamori Akino said: "Nagayama-kun is indeed a rich man. Most people can't afford such a convertible sports car. Do you know what he does?"
"Isn't he an advertising model? He also wrote a popular song?" Akiko said, her memory was still the time when she saw the cherry blossoms.
Nakamori Akiho and Nagayama Tsuruko are already good pen pals: "I heard from Tsuruko-chan that his brother seems to be a producer and a record maker."
"Hey, aren't you the manager of the Wildcats?" Akihiro Nakamori obviously only remembered this identity.
Akio Nakamori concluded: "He is a rich man anyway, otherwise he would not share half of the remuneration without any counter-offering."
Chieko said at this time: "Akina, Akiho, I will save this reward for you first, and I will give it to you when you need it in the future."
"Eh~~~" x2
The two little girls watched their mother take away the cowhide envelope as a matter of course, unable to say anything...
