Chapter 12: The Feminist Era (2)
Maybe it's because Shizuko Takayama's visit worked, since that day, Nanako Tanaka, although she is still busy with the affairs of the Japan Women's Rights Federation, is no longer crazy and nowhere to be seen, which makes Jerry breathe a sigh of relief. A change is a good sign!
"Ryuzaki-kun~Ryuzaki-kun~"
"Hey~ What do you have to explain to Jerry-kun?"
After the interview that day, Ryuzaki was officially hired, but this guy didn't have much money in his hands to go out and rent a house, so he lived directly in Jerry's house, and as for the rent, it was directly deducted from his salary, and Ryuzaki just needed to take care of all the housework of Jerry's family! There's no way around this.,With the boom of the boy's IC career,Ichiro Tanaka and Rumiko have become indispensable figures in the company.,Even after Jerry has an assistant for both of them,Things are still inseparable!
Therefore, Ryuzaki Tsuyoshi was directly requisitioned by Jerry for this free labor. Fortunately, the food cooked by this guy is not unpalatable!
"Ryuzaki-kun, you don't need to prepare lunch today, clean up, and then ask Miss Shizuko for a leave and go out with us!"
"Hi Babble~"
Tokyo, Shinagawa-ku, Oki, Sanrio Company.
"Hello, I'm Nanako Tanaka!"
"Hello, I'm Shintaro Tsuji, and it's a great honor to meet you. I'm a fan of your books, I wonder when Her Royal Highness Nanako's new book will be published? I've been waiting for a long time! ”
"Ah, this, what a surprise! As for the new book, it should be another month or two! Nobu-kun Tsuji, this time, I want to talk to you about the cooperation between our two companies! As you know, I am in the publishing industry and have no experience in the gift industry, while Sanrio has a lot of experience in gift design and sales, so I think maybe we have the opportunity to work together! ”
"I'm so happy to be able to work with Her Royal Highness Nanako! I think Her Royal Highness Nanako must have thought about it quite a bit, can you tell us what you think? ”
"Hi Babble~"
Nanako Tanaka took out a document from her bag and handed it to Shintaro Tsuji, "This is about matters related to cooperation, and Shonen IC will invest in the establishment of a new subsidiary, Shonen Peripherals, specializing in the production and sales of anime peripherals." What do we mean by that is that we want Sanrio to become an OEM factory around the teenagers? ”
"OEM?"
"Yes, Sanrio will process the products for the teenagers!"
"But Miss Nanako, let's not say whether we accept it or not, even if it is the cost of this OEM, is it too low!"
"No, Nobu-kun Tsuji, this price is not low at all, Juvenile IC after a detailed investigation, according to the current price level and wage level in Japan, on the basis of all costs increased by 5 percentage points, this is the market price, but also the market price! Nobukun Tsuji is familiar with the industry and should understand what I mean. ”
Sanrio itself is a card maker, and has its own unique sense of smell in the field of cards and gifts! In 1986, Shonen IC, which quickly emerged in the Japanese archipelago, had some business opportunities that could be tapped, but unfortunately in several contacts with the other party, Sanrio's request for authorization was rejected by the other party! This time, the other party actually came to the door, although they just wanted Sanrio to do OEM.
"Nanako-sanako, maybe, we can work together in a different way?"
"Nobu-kun Tsuji means that Sanrio wants to get our exclusive license?"
"Hi Babble~"
"It can't be! There are two ways for Junior IC to cooperate with Sanrio, the first is that Junior IC will merge with Sanrio, which I think is simply not going to happen at the moment. And the second point, the peripheral products of the Junior IC are OEM by Sanrio! What we value is Sanrio's excellence in gifts! ”
Shintaro Tsuji suddenly felt that this national idol's performance in business was as terrifying as her performance in the field of fiction! She can see the development prospects of her opponent, but she regards her opponent as an incubator for incubating her own industry, no matter in the time she chooses, in terms of means, it is terrifying! Can Nobutaro Tsuji refuse such a request? Yes, he can. But the end will be very tragic! Because the boy peripherals are completely Sanrio's direct opponents in the field of gifts! He can refuse the opportunity to OEM, but in Japan, the gift company is not just Sanrio, it is supported by the comic heritage of the shonen IC, and there are national idols like Nanako Tanaka to do the publicity, and the boy can completely annex another gift company and then go toe-to-toe with himself! So, what exactly does she mean?
"Miss Nanako, I'll leave the agreement first, we need to hold a board meeting to discuss the specific matters, how about I call you in a few days?"
"No problem. So, I'll take my leave! ”
"Hopefully we can have a chance to work together!"
Walking out of Sanrio's office building, Ryuzaki still didn't understand, and Jerry Jun Weishenme called himself. This matter seems to have nothing to do with him at all!
"Ryuzaki-kun?"
"Hi Babble~"
"Remember Shintaro Tsuji, he'll be the person you'll need to contact a lot before our production line is up and running!"
"Huh?"
"Don't be so surprised, based on your performance during this time, I think you are fully capable of becoming the head of the CosPlay Pavilion, and you will have to get the props needed for each anime-themed week in the CosPlay Pavilion from Sanrio. Of course, if you don't like comics, I'll have to choose someone else! ”
"No, no, Jerry-kun, actually, comics are my favorite!"
"Oh? Are you sure? I thought your favorite was the guy named Jasmine Hasegawa, I hope she won't be sad when she hears it! ”
"Huh?"
"Alright, Jerry-kun, don't tease him! Tell me, what's going on with the production line? I don't think that's in our plans! ”
"Nanako, do you think Sanrio's factory size and number of employees can cope with the explosion of the Japanese market?"
“?”
"Don't understand? All right! Let me explain to you, cosplay has been around for a long time, but it has never really become a commercial activity. With the help of Osamu Tezuka and the heavy artillery bombardment of the shonen IC, the Japanese manga industry began to move towards a golden age. For the Japanese people, manga has become the air. In this atmosphere, people's desire for cosplay is even more urgent! If we could include a cosplay photo of someone like Nanako in a magazine, what do you think would happen to the market as a whole? ”,
It's almost a matter of not having to think about it, and if a national idol appears in a manga magazine as a cosPlay, it's safe to assume that the merchandise about this manga will definitely sell like crazy!
Well, Jerry has now started to imagine what Nanako Tanaka, with short hair, looks like in a white leather bodysuit and CosPlay as a full-fledged version of Rei Ayana!
"In this case, Sanrio's factory will definitely be busy! And at this time, if our production line is put into use, it will definitely greatly relieve the pressure on Sanrio! ”
"But Jerry-kun, weishenme, why don't we put this production line into use at the beginning?"
"First, the construction and development of the production line takes time, and the renovation of the coffee house is nearing completion, and the CosPlay hall cannot wait. Second, I fell in love with Sanrio's production department and quality control department, and maybe only during the busiest time, Shintaro Tsuji could make us seconded some members of the production department and quality control department! Although this guy looks like a child from the outside, he is indeed a shrewd businessman. ”
"What Jerry Jun means is to use Sanrio's experience to develop and expand its own production line!"
"Weishenme: No? However, after meeting Shintaro Tsuji, I found it difficult! Perhaps, we need to do second-hand preparation! I mean, first borrow Sanrio's production line, let the products around the teenager occupy the entire market, and at that time, it is impossible for Shintaro Tsuji not to take the bait. Let John pay attention to the gift manufacturers in Tokyo, and if necessary, merge one, always do it first! ”
"Hey~ But, Jerry-kun, are you sure that Shintaro Tsuji will accept our terms?"
"As I said, he's a shrewd businessman, so he'll be! By the way, Nanako, how are things going with the Women's Rights Federation? ”
"It didn't go well! Except for Shishi-kun, everyone including Tetsusan-kun Bupo opposed my proposal, and you know, in Japan, the idea of male supremacy is deeply ingrained! ”
"Everything needs to be done slowly! You see, the second shijie war has been fought for so many years! Nanako, perhaps, you need a helper! How is Miss Lotus Fang? ”
"Which Miss Lotus Fang?"
"It's the new guy in the coffee house! Saito Hasuho, a one-year student at the Aoyama Gakuen Faculty of Law! ”
"She? weishenme is her? ”
"She has a passion and energy that Japanese women don't have, and she is very organized and coordinated in the training of newcomers, and she will be a very good helper!"
"Alright! If that's the case, find a time and I'll talk to her! ”
"So be it! Nanako, the next time you go to Sanshodo, remind me that I have something to talk to them about! ”
"Hi Babble~"
Mitsui Bank, Tokyo Headquarters.
"Start a coffee house? Set up a juvenile peripheral? Gunda-kun, this is that woman's latest new move? ”
"Hi Woo ~ Miss Aiko, the matters around the café and the boy are things that have been decided! The partner around the teenager is Sanrio, and the way of cooperation is agent processing, and the coffee house is operated independently! ”
"It seems that she has made a lot of money in the stock market! What else is important? ”
Gunda-kun handed over a thick document!
"She's been in frequent contact with the Japanese Communist D lately?"
"Yes, Aiko-sama. According to an investigation by the Intelligence Development Agency, the shili behind the three provinces is the same political party that has been keeping a low profile in recent years, and it has just surfaced recently. The third party shili who secretly blocked us some time ago, is also them! According to the intelligence, Nanako Tanaka is planning to establish a Japan Women's Rights Federation! Perhaps, at the time of the establishment of this organization, Nanako Tanaka needed the help of the Japanese Communist D! ”
"Japan Women's Rights Federation?"
"Hi Babb~ It is said that it is an organization that is to safeguard the basic rights and interests of Japanese women, encourage more women to participate in Japan's economic construction, political construction and cultural construction, and play an important role no less than men.
"Takako Doi? The leader of the Socialist Party? ”
"Hi Babble~"
"I know, then, Gunda-kun, you go down!"
Aiko Mitsui leaned against the window, looking at the fallen leaves in the wind, and the powerless frustration gradually spread in her heart.
Japan Women's Rights Federation?
Nanako Tanaka, what kind of woman are you!
Aiko Mitsui suddenly discovered that this woman is like a poppy, and the more she studies it, the more addictive she becomes!
