487 All for the Taxes

Three years after the system was implemented, it was further revised.

Now, not only in their hometowns, but also in their hometowns, Toei citizens can pay a "hometown tax" to any local government of their choice (prefectures and municipalities in the prefecture of Tofu) to support local development.

So, naturally, in order to attract more tax payments, the governors of the prefectures, as well as the mayors, will rack their brains and introduce a series of measures.

It's just like merchants launching a variety of offers in order to attract customers, one reason.

In areas where there are well-known specialties, such as Aomori Prefecture, which accounts for half of the country's apple production, apples are given as gifts to taxpayers who have paid a certain amount of hometown tax. The more taxes you pay, the more expensive the variety of apples becomes.

Hokkaido, which has a strong livestock industry, will give dairy products or beef and mutton as tax returns.

And those places that don't have well-known specialties but have produced entertainment celebrities will launch activities such as tax CDs, photo albums, and posters.

Of course, in this era of rapid development of the two-dimensional subculture, how can various local governments forget the rapid growth of the group and the increasingly large group of otaku?

In the world before the Qin and Han dynasties, Ibaraki Prefecture, as the stage prototype of the animation "The Girl and the Chariot", once launched activities such as sending snacks, drinks, jackets, and paintings related to the animation when paying taxes, which was well received by the otaku, and the tax payment in Ibaraki Prefecture's hometown that year also increased.

In this world, there is no such example of two-dimensional and three-dimensional linkage as "The Girl and the Chariot", but there are also many local governments that have adopted the method of cooperation with the ACG field to attract taxes in their hometowns.

It doesn't matter if it is the stage where the story takes place, or the author's birthplace, it doesn't matter if it doesn't even matter at all, anyway, it is a great success to be able to give a good house as a gift to attract people to pay the hometown tax.

Okinawa Prefecture is one of the 47 first-class local administrative units in Toei Prefecture, and although it is not very populous and large, it is not as large as an economic center like Tokyo and Osaka, or a manufacturing industry core such as Nagoya, but it still mixes well with its rich tourism resources.

What's more, Okinawa in this parallel world has a better security environment than the bad US imperialist garrisons in the world before the Qin and Han dynasties crossed.

However, no matter how well the tourism industry develops, the local government of Okinawa does not dislike the reason for too much taxation.

Last year, Okinawa Prefecture was not attractive enough as a souvenir for the hometown tax rebate, so much so that the amount of tax paid was very low among the 47 prefectures.

So this year, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Eina Fusuke, learned from the pain and decided to keep up with the trend of the times and use anime goods as gifts to attract more people to pay the hometown tax.

Although there has not been a well-known anime or manga set in Okinawa in recent years, Mr. Governor searched the Internet and found Qin Han, a well-known manga artist from Okinawa.

So, when he knew the identity of Qin Han's father, Ebi's name Dongsuke immediately asked for Qin Han's contact information, and then called.

Although the real hometown of Qin and Han is still China in his previous life, he still has a good impression of Okinawa in this world. Not to mention that this is the birthplace of my own life, among the various regions in Toei, Okinawa is the most Chinese-flavored place, and there are many similarities in terms of architectural style and eating habits.

In addition, on several islands in the southern part of Okinawa, you can watch TV programs about the world's Huaxia Province.

After listening to the detailed explanation of the Ebi Dongsuke on the phone, Qin Han thought about it for a while and agreed to the other party's request.

It is reasonable to make a contribution to the construction of the "hometown". Moreover, this matter is also of great benefit to enhance the image of enterprises and individuals and expand their popularity.

"Ebi-san, I'll take your commission seriously. But let's meet and talk about specific matters. ”

Ebina Fusuke knew from his father that he would be coming back for the Chinese New Year – in fact, the local Chinese community in Okinawa celebrates their traditional festival every year.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called at this point in time.

"Of course, of course, you can agree to this matter, I am really grateful, and I will wait for the ride. Well, in the end, I would like to ask, in your plan, which of the peripheral products of the work is more suitable for Okinawa Prefecture's tax rebate? ”

That's to the point.

Nowadays, there are really a lot of ACG works created by Qin Han himself or participated in the creation.

He thought about it, and first excluded the three manga "Dragon Sakura", "Midfield Core", and "Pretty Girl of Light HC".

After the TV series adapted from "Dragon Sakura" was broadcast, it had a great influence, and in terms of "national degree", it should be the highest among many works. However, there is still a big difference between the audience of TV dramas and comic book readers, and the popularity of last year has subsided a lot.

The two manga "Midfield Core" and "Pretty Girl of Light HC" have only started to be serialized for a short time, and they are still in the initial stage of accumulating popularity, so they are not suitable.

More importantly, the peripheral development of these three comics and the development of various projects need to be carried out through the editorial offices of the two magazines under Shueisha, and Qin and Han do not play much of a leading role in them.

And the two games "Terraria" and "Oriental Fantasy Story", Qin and Han also quickly ruled out.

Because in the final analysis, these two games are also derivatives of the two major series of FATE and Touhou, and they can be regarded as part of the peripheral expansion.

After thinking about it, the animation "Magic Young Madoka" is the most suitable.

As the big boss of SHAFT, Qin Han certainly has the right to be arbitrary in the development of the peripherals of "Madoka Magical Girl". And with the popularity of this animation today, its peripheral goods are definitely a hot item in the minds of many otaku.

If you and Okinawa Prefecture introduce a limited periphery that requires you to pay a hometown tax to get started, I think this year, Ebina Fusuke, the governor of Okinawa, will collect taxes and get cramps.

"I think Madoka Magical Girl is the most suitable."

Hearing Qin Han's answer, Mr. Governor, who had obviously done his homework in advance, suddenly had a much happier voice: "I think the same as Teacher Qin Han." With the support of this popular anime, not only will Okinawa Prefecture receive more hometown taxes, but it will also be known to more people. ”

After a polite exchange with Mr. Governor, Qin Han hung up the phone.

I didn't expect that this trip back to my hometown was not only a reunion, but also a conversation about business. He thought about it for a moment and dialed the phone number of Kyokamiri again.

Since it is necessary to talk about business matters, this capable assistant naturally cannot be absent.
