Chapter 278: Mascot

"The down payment for the first phase of Kyoto Paradise has been paid, totaling $500 million, and there is also an advance payment owed to a third-party contractor, totaling $37 million unpaid......

"Keep them waiting!"

The land payment of the Kyoto town government was given first, and the project payment of the contractor was ...... Next time, Meng Tsai will definitely give it.

It's not like there's no money!

Who is rich, who is playing tricks, has he forgotten the arrogance of "Meng Zai is not short of money" so quickly? Meng Zai is now in some difficulty, everyone is a good brother, what do you care?

"Neon Branch, siphoned off about $30 million. Pengda Animation siphoned off about $20 million, and Mr. Meng also spent nearly $50 million on the acquisition of several companies......"

And that's not all!

Ultraman Jack's project budget is nearly $15 million, and the metal hero is slightly cheaper, but it is also tens of millions. There is also the donation of "Pengda Classroom", and the second phase of the expansion of the prop factory and toy factory, which is also a large expenditure.

Counting all kinds of messy expenses, Pengda spent nearly $800 million after the start of the year, far exceeding the group's profits.

"You can eat the old book, drag it out until mid-March, and after the overseas income is settled, Pengda will stand up again!"

Anyway, it's not a few days, it's not a big problem.

Even if there is a problem, Meng Zai made a phone call to the bank and blocked the supplier's mouth in minutes. It is impossible for such a thing as a broken capital chain to happen.

The dream of the richest man has not yet come true, and Meng Zai still needs to work hard! Set a small goal first, so that Ultraman will become the mascot of this National Games.

It's not hard to do!

The National Games will be held in Gangcheon, and as the mascot of the city, it is necessary to choose the thing that best represents the "cityscape". Ultraman fits this and is extremely well-known, so why not choose it?

Meng Lang took a mouthful, and the leader thought about it for less than ten minutes, and made a decision on the spot that "Ultraman" would serve as the "Jiangchuan mascot"!

But the deputy was not very satisfied.

"Does Ultraman represent good luck?"

"Then ...... Ugh!"

The leader glanced at Meng Lang, Meng Lang looked up at the ceiling, and didn't answer at all.

Bullshit's auspicious!

What does it mean for Ultraman to appear? It must be a monster mess! The end of the monster chaos is that you will understand after watching a few more episodes of Ultraman.

This is a famous disaster!

The leader stared at Meng Lang and said helplessly: "To think about the good thing, Ultraman is a friend of mankind, and he has come from the distant M78 galaxy to protect the earth, and it is no problem as a mascot." ”

"Well said the leader!"

Meng Lang slapped his ass wildly, for fear that the mascot in his hand would be eliminated due to the "unlucky" factor. Fortunately, the leader understands the righteousness and does not engage in any feudal superstition.

Who said Ultraman was unlucky?

Believe it or not, he turned around and there was no monster at all?

If you have to find a thorn, who is the representative of "absolute auspiciousness" in the entire tokusatsu circle?

There's no point in picking at thorns like that.

Fuwa knows it all, right? It is the mascot of the 08 Olympic Games designed based on the "panda". If you want to pick thorns, the panda is a "fierce beast" in ancient times, and Chiyou still rides it to fight!

The choice of mascot does not talk about this.

When people think of Egawa, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely "Ultraman". This has become a "city symbol", and there is no problem in choosing it as a mascot.

Once the mascot is established, it's time to design the image.

First of all, there are already several Ultramans produced by Pengda. Which one should be used as the "prototype" of the mascot?

That must be the "first generation"!

The first generation, which symbolizes the "Ultraman origin", always had a natural advantage in this kind of thing. No matter how powerful other Ultramans are, they can't beat the first generation.

The image of the first generation needs to be "Q version"!

Make it cute and cute, and people will be more likely to like this mascot. After all, the "cute" attribute can kill men, women, and children.

The second is body adjustment!

The original "pectoralis major" is really ......

The image of the original version is too tough, and the designer needs to fine-tune the body proportions, preferably to reach the standard figure, so that it looks more decent.

And then there'...... Clothes!

The adaptation is not a random fabrication, do you dare to dress Ultraman? Tsuburaya apologizes for the warning!

It's not that exaggerated!

Because this is a "sports meeting", there must be "sports elements" on the mascot's body! Ultraman's classic shape is not easy to use, so he can only be dressed.

Wear a "fan suit"!

The short-sleeved "No. 1" jersey, football shorts, red sneakers, and a soccer ball on the sole of the foot are completed.

The naming work was handed over to Jiangchuan netizens.

After the mascot name collection activity was opened, netizens from all walks of life in Jiangchuan gave full play to their whimsical ideas and gave various names to this "auspicious Ultraman".

Xiao Meng, Meng Zai, P Zai, Ova , Chest Shaving, CXK......

Although there are many spoofs, there are also people who are seriously naming names. In the end, after voting, it was determined that the name of the mascot was "Ova"!

After the image and name were decided, the comrades at the propaganda outlet began to exert their strength! Ova could be seen in the streets and alleys of Jiangchuan.

The advertisement on the bus body was changed from "infertility" to "Ova shooting"! On the rearview mirror of the taxi, there is an Ova charm. Next to the garbage cans on the side of the street, a sign of "Ova Tips" was erected......

Meng Lang's eyes were crooked.

The Ova dolls and plush dolls produced by Pengda Toy Factory do not need to be contributed by dealers, and the public is all round.

There are also posters and stickers!

The National Games have not yet opened, and the number of purchases is not very large now. After the opening of the National Games, that is the explosive growth!

City mascot, Meng Zai makes money?

If it's a separately designed mascot, Meng Zai can't make money. But this is Ultraman, the entire copyright of Ultraman is in his hands, why can't he make money?

If he doesn't make money, what kind of mascot does he bother to make?

It's just the National Games!

What if it's the Olympics or the World Cup mascot? Just thinking about it, Meng Lang was already so happy that he was about to faint.

But it's good to think about it!

I've already hosted the Olympics in China, but I don't know when the next one will be. World cup...... Let's not mention football?

Is there a chance for the Winter Olympics?

If Meng Lang remembers correctly, Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. The mascot has not yet been determined, if he goes for it, maybe there is so much hope of "losing it"?

Even if you don't consider Ultraman......

Pengda panda people to understand?

Everyone is a panda, isn't Pengda's "fork-waisted panda man" fragrant? Big man, Xiao Meng is going to pull, can he save the child?

With a desire, Meng Lang sent a tool man to the capital, hoping to harvest a surprise. Before leaving, the tool man received the "three tips" prepared by Mr. Meng.

"There's a three-way plan in it!"

Meng Lang patted the tool man on the shoulder and said earnestly: "The number of tips is limited, don't use them indiscriminately! Good brother, take care!"
