Chapter 677: Four hundred million

On this trip to Tokyo, Meng will stay until a few days before the carnival begins.

In fact, there are still more than ten days before the carnival, and he was supposed to run back and forth with Su Hua in Tokyo twice, but Meng Huo thought that this was too troublesome, and he thought that he would simply get the production of the two episodes of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" in one go, and then enjoy the carnival wholeheartedly.

This made the employees of the animation department of Sakura Company suffer.,Weekday overtime aside.,Even the two-day break has become a single holiday.。 Weekends were the only day off for them, and Meng Huo got up early in the morning, wanting to talk to a few painters about work, but he didn't expect a phone call to go out, and Eiji Takashima was the first to dissuade him.

"What a pity teacher, just let them go, they have been working overtime for a week, just let them have a good rest."

As soon as he said this, Meng Huo couldn't continue to insist, in fact, the animation department of Sakura Company during the carnival was also a holiday, and Meng Huo's idea was that they could rest well after their hard work, but others didn't seem to think so.

In order to let the employees rest, Eiji Takashima took the initiative to invite Meng Huo out to watch a sports event.

"Volleyball league?"

Sitting in the car of the Takashima couple, Meng Huo was very curious about the destination of this trip.

"Yes, it's about to be the annual Huaxia Cup, and now it's a sports boom." Eiji Takashima said with a smile: "During this time, various regions, provinces and cities are selecting teams to participate, and you have to prepare new comics, teacher, and occasionally you have to watch these sports!" ”

There are two major sports events in China every year, divided into summer and winter, and the Huaxia Cup held in summer (during the summer vacation) is the most eye-catching. Almost all sports competitions are included. Meng has seen similar reports recently.

The Huaxia Cup was held after the Manga Island Carnival. And now it's time for the final selection of sports representatives from each region. Eiji Takashima took Meng to watch the volleyball trials in the Far East, and it was the last day, and today the players to participate in the Huaxia Cup will be selected.

Meng was intrigued, and he had never seen a major sporting event live.

The three of them came to the Tokyo Gymnasium and volleyball court, although they did a little cover-up, but it didn't take long for their arrival to be known by the organizers - Liu Yurong, president of the Chinese Volleyball Association, happened to be at the scene. I was shocked when I heard the news.

"Why do you think it's a pity that the teacher is on the scene?" He looked at his subordinates incredulously: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

"That's right......"

The subordinate cautiously reported: "Although he is wearing a hat and can't be sure of his appearance, his figure is very similar to his body type, and he is accompanied by the two vice presidents of Sakura Company." Those two followed by him, most of them were what a pity teacher! ”

Liu Yurong's head turned sharply, he heard that He Xi came to the extreme east a few days ago, and he had always wanted to visit him, but he had been busy with the event recently, so he had not been able to spare time, if he really came to the scene this time. That's a great opportunity.

"Okay, you go down. Help me find the owner of the hall, and we'll find time to meet with Teacher He Xi later. He waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, and then walked a few steps in place with some nervousness: "What should I do, I don't have enough money now...... It would have been nice to have gathered 200 million as soon as possible. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yurong hurriedly took out the phone and called the vice president of Yanjing, wanting him to help make some preparations.

"President, you haven't given up yet, haven't you been to Manga Island before?" The vice president sighed on the phone: "It's a pity that the teacher rejected you once, let's not think about it anymore." ”

A while ago, Liu Yurong once went to Comic Island, and he also met with Meng Shu smoothly. At that time, he offered a reward of 100 million, but Meng Shu refused on the grounds of 'don't have to bribe me, I will decide the new comic myself'.

"Last time, it was because I didn't have enough money!" Liu Yurong was unwilling to give up and said: "It's a pity that the teacher didn't tell me directly that he didn't draw volleyball cartoons at that time, this is a hint, as long as we take more money, we will definitely be able to convince him!" ”

"Not necessarily."

On the phone, the vice president smiled bitterly: "I just received news yesterday that the Basketball Association has come up with 400 million yuan to persuade Teacher He Xi, which is the highest remuneration so far, but Teacher He still refused." ”

Liu Yurong gasped, 400 million,, is the Basketball Association crazy?

Although it's a pity that the new comics started with hundreds of millions, but such a large amount, no one will dare to start when they fight for it, the better ones are millions, tens of millions, and the ordinary ones are tens of thousands.

The 200 million he expected was already a big number of super bleeding, but he didn't expect the Basketball Association to be willing to come up with 400 million - it's crazy, no one dares to pay more than this price!

"What's the new comic that's worth that much?" Liu Yurong felt a headache, no matter how powerful it is, 100 million is already very good to buy new comics, 200 million is a bit risky, 400 million is definitely more than worth the loss, the Basketball Association is gambling, and the bet has not been successful!

"That is to say, how can it be so valuable, and now everyone is saying that the new comics are just a hype, so let's not follow the trend." The vice president continued to persuade: "You don't know that after the Basketball Association was rejected, President Wu of the Football Association directly scolded them for having brain problems, not to mention how embarrassing they were. ”

"Now that the Basketball Association has given up, why don't you appreciate it so much, why bother with him, he takes his comics too seriously!"

"What doesn't want to sell for money, why is it clear that the lion wants more money and then wants the media to continue to hype his new comics...... The president should not pay attention to him, it makes much more sense for us to use this money elsewhere. ”

After the vice president's words, Liu Yurong's brows furrowed. He didn't feel anything when he saw He Xi, but now after listening to this paragraph, he suddenly felt that He Xi was too arrogant for this cartoonist.

Did he really think of his comics as a savior? If he doesn't sell 400 million, does he still want 500 million or 600 million? How can there be such a brain-dead in this world!

"How's the rest of the associations doing besides basketball?"

Liu Yurong asked again.

"What else? The basketball association bid 400 million, they are the richest association except for football, we can't afford this kind of price, other associations see this situation, even if they have the mind, they have to extinguish. ”

The vice president is sure that in this way, no one in the entire sports circle will probably pay attention to the new comics, and even if the volleyball association gives up, it will not be taken by competitors.

Liu Yurong decided to give up this matter, the price of more than 400 million, not to mention the sports circle, no one in the chess and card industry is willing to come out - what a pity to make a joke, no one will care about his new comics in the future. (To be continued......)
