Signing a contract while reviewing it...?

And this kind of statement?

Dusk Qito was still too tender compared to Ken Tanaka, and when he heard him say this, he instinctively was stunned.

Then he figured it out.

The so-called audit, in fact, is to be shown to Hayakawa and the people above, that is, it means that they have audited - face work still has to be done.

But in fact, it can be regarded as an internal decision for Tsukasa Higashino.

"I'll call Mr. Higashino."

After figuring this out, Twilight Qiren also nodded, took out his phone and walked outside the office, and called Tsukasa Higashino.

He quickly told Tsukasa Higashino the details.

"Huh? Want me to come over for an audit meeting? Tsukasa Higashino, who was busy refining the first draft of Kumamon, stopped what he was doing when he heard this, and asked incomprehensibly, "It seems a little unreasonable for me to attend the review meeting, right?" Twilight mulberry? ”

"This time the situation is more special, and it must be better for you, Mr. Higashino, the designer, to explain the image of Kumamon."

“... Really? Then please let me prepare, I'll be right over. ”

Higashino Tsukasa didn't want to continue to refuse, and after saying a word, he looked at Higashino Chihaya, who was sitting on the bed watching TV: "Sister Chiza, I have something to go out for, you stay obediently in the room." ”

He opened a pack of horse jerky as Higashino Chihaya's snack, then touched her head and quickly went downstairs.

About half an hour later, Higashino Tsukasa came downstairs to the Kumamoto Prefecture Public Relations Department according to the address given by the late twilight Qiren.

At this time, Twilight Qiren and another middle-aged man were standing downstairs waiting for Higashino Division, and when they saw him coming, Twilight Qiren hurriedly greeted him: "I'm sorry, Higashino-sensei, because I have to prepare for the meeting, so I can't pick you up in person." ”

"It's okay, Twilight-san's work is the top priority." Tsukasa Higashino smiled and nodded, and then looked curiously at the middle-aged man beside the Dusk Qiren, "This gentleman is..."

"This is Minister Tanaka, who is in charge of the specific publicity of the mascot in Kumamoto Prefecture."

Higashino Tsukasa reacted when he heard the introduction of the deep twilight Qiren.

Isn't this the top boss of the Twilight Qiren?

After he reacted to this, he immediately stretched out his hand and greeted politely: "Hello, Minister Tanaka." ”

"Hello, Higashino-sensei." Ken Tanaka glanced at Tsukasa Higashino's appearance, then turned around and praised Kito in the twilight with a smile: "Mr. Higashino is really a young genius, he is the lucky general of our Kumamoto Prefecture, and he actually designed the mascot image of Kumamon at this age." ”

His words were full of appreciation.

Yes, Tsukasa Higashino is too young to look like he can do things at all.

But it was this young man who designed Kumamon, the best mascot image so far.

Ken Tanaka naturally admires Tsukasa Higashino a little.

At the same time, he also sighed inexplicably... Sure enough, the current era is still young

The three of them talked downstairs for a while, and then Ken Tanaka's mobile phone called.

Apparently the meeting was ready over there.

"Mr. Higashino, I still need you to assist us in the review work this time, and if you have any other novel ideas about the image of Kumamon, please speak freely."

Ken Tanaka made a 'please' gesture, and Tsukasa Higashino also hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "I can only say that I can do my best, Minister Tanaka." ”

What's new? As far as Higashino is concerned, he can only say that he did his best.

They took Higashino into the conference room, which was a very ordinary conference room.

There is a long table with a window, and there is a lecture table at the top of the table, which is also equipped with a small microphone and projector.

On the white screen of the projector, the computer slides are ready, and it is the first draft of Kumamon prepared by Tsukasa Higashino.

"Next, Mr. Higashino, the main designer of Kumamon, will explain to us the mascot image of Kumamon."

Ken Tanaka made an announcement on the stage, and then gave up the main lecture platform to Tsukasa Higashino.

This battle...

Tsukasa Higashino's face was a little strange.

The people below took a cursory look at the past and felt that the entire publicity department had come.

If it weren't for Ken Tanaka's statement that this was an audit meeting, Higashino would have even felt that this was the scene to confirm his cooperation with the Kumamoto prefectural government.

But forget it...

Tsukasa Higashino threw the messy thoughts in his mind behind him, walked on stage in a serious manner, and began to explain the image of Kumamon.

Kumamon's image explanation is not complicated, after all, the copywriter is Tsukasa Higashino, and he starts with the image design of Kumamon.

Why did you take such a color scheme, and why did you use this image of a pot-bellied black bear.

After that, I jumped from image design to Kumamon's action design.

The members of the publicity and distribution department at the bottom looked at the simple and cute Kumamon on the slide, and they all had a heart-warming feeling.

The female members are attracted by Kumamon's cuteness, while the male members especially love Kumamon's cute movements.

This image, in a sense, is really both male and female.

is neither girly nor too hard, and the just right sense of centering makes many members of the publicity department nod secretly.

"I think that only by adopting such a design can we design a good mascot for Kumamoto Prefecture. Kumamoto Prefecture does not have bears, but we can create a one-of-a-kind Kumamon. ”

That's a good saying.

Many people below nodded at Higashino's words.

Yes, this is the image of Kumamon in their minds, what did the people of Twilight submit before.

It's either a lark or a prawn, and it's as if there are no other specialties in Kumamoto Prefecture.

And the phrase 'one-of-a-kind Kumamon'... And this also spoke to their hearts.

As long as they work hard to publicize it, maybe one day, the image of Kumamon will explode in Japan?

And the image called Kumamon... It's really interesting.

When you think of Kumamon, you think of Kumamoto Prefecture, and when you think of Kumamoto Prefecture, you think of Kumamon.

Some of the female members present were a little nervous, and they decided that if the review meeting did not pass, they would sneak up on Tsukasa Higashino and ask him for two Kumamon manuscripts to treasure, at least that's what Hiyori Aoki thought.

Hiyori Aoki is a member of the publicity department who just joined this year, and there is a relationship behind it plus a good academic background, so he was directly assigned to the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot design planning team.

It's not that she has an opinion about the deep twilight Qiren, but the Kumamoto Prefecture lark mascot that the other party submitted a few times ago is inevitably too ... How to say it.

It's not a question of whether it's good-looking or not.,It's the first few times the lark mascot looks very old-fashioned.,Very rustic.,Although the lark mascot looks pretty cute.,But I always feel that it's the style of the Showa era.,The type that middle-aged and elderly people like.,It's not in line with the trendy things that young people like him like at all.。

Originally, today she thought that she was going to see the kind of Showa-type rustic mascot submitted by the Dusk Qiren again, but she didn't expect that this time it was completely different.

"It's so cute..."Hiyori Aoki looked at the Kumamon who was rolling on the screen, crossed his waist, waving his hands, and jumping, and his face was full of excitement.

There is a saying that women have zero resistance to cute things.

Even if Hiyori Aoki is already working, she is still a little girl in her twenties, and when she sees cute things, she naturally wants to buy them and spend money out of her pocket.

Who doesn't love the chubby, round Kumamon on top of the projection white screen?

At least Hiyori Aoki is irresistible.

So, when Ken Tanaka stepped up to the podium and said, "Then let's start voting on Higashino-sensei's Kumamon design now, and those who are in favor of adopting this design should raise their hands," Hiyokazu Aoki raised his hand without hesitation.

After raising her hand, she was still looking around, looking like I was in a hurry if anyone didn't raise their hand.

Kumamon is definitely going to be chosen! What are you guys waiting for! Give me my hands up!

It seems that the design image of Kumamon is really popular, or maybe the prayer in Aoki Hiwa has an effect, and the conference room is really densely packed with rows of hands.

At a cursory glance, it seems that there are only one or two who did not raise their hands.

"Okay, most of them pass."

Ken Tanaka nodded, and announced very simply; "Then I announce that the design of the Kumamoto Prefecture mascot has been decided, and the various publicity departments can start working, and the logistics team, I will see the Kumamon leather case tomorrow."

Ken Tanaka is very neat and resolute, and he has finalized many things at once.

But... His words made Higashino Tsukasa next to him stunned.

Well?

Isn't this a review meeting? Why did you suddenly decide to work with him?

Although it's good to be sure of a partnership.

But... Tsukasa Higashino thinks it's better to ask a little clearer: "Twilight-san, is this...?" ”

Higashino Tsukasa looked at the Twilight Kito who was sitting next to him, and asked a little inexplicably.

"Actually, this is something that Minister Tanaka decided before."

Dusk Kito replied with a smile, "Higashino-sensei, the quality of the Kumamon you drew is there, and you should understand it yourself, so..."

He gave Tsukasa Higashino a look and didn't make all his words clear.

I see.

It didn't take the deep twilight Qiren to explain the words, and after looking at his eyes, Higashino Tsukasa immediately understood.

This should be Ken Tanaka's own design, so he directly set himself.

This review meeting is just for other people to see, which is equivalent to 'we have a special review, it is decided by everyone in a meeting, it is very democratic, there is no dictatorship.' 'means.

But in fact, even if this review meeting is not held, there is a high probability that the Kumamon of Tsukasa Higashino will get the qualification to create the mascot.

"I see, please let me express my gratitude to Minister Tanaka."

"That's not necessary." Dusk Kito waved his hand: "In fact, Mr. Higashino, the Kumamon image you drew is indeed the best mascot image at present, and it can be seen that most people voted in favor." ”

Yes, the quality of Tsukasa Higashino's work is there.

If it weren't for the excellent quality of the finish, Ken Tanaka wouldn't have been in such a hurry to make a decision.

It can be said that obtaining the qualification is also based on the strength of Tsukasa Higashino himself.

"Higashino-sensei, could you please wait a moment? We're going to prepare the contract right away. ”

Twilight spoke again.

He's still very anxious, and he'll try to get this done as quickly as he can.

But he also considered that Higashino Tsukasa might not understand the terms of the contract, so he also said kindly: "Do you need us to prepare a special legal lawyer for you?" This will also help you understand the terms of the contract prepared by us. ”

"That's not necessary." Higashino shook his head with a smile.

He had done this kind of thing in his previous life when he signed a contract to cooperate.

"Well, okay, then it's going to be troublesome."

Higashino didn't refuse, and simply nodded.

He also wanted to get the matter done quickly.

......

After waiting here for about half an hour, the contract was already ready on the Twilight side.

Higashino picked it up and scanned it carefully.

The first is the 3 million yen for the creation of the Kumamon image, which is clearly marked on the contract.

However, this is only a small amount of money, and the most important thing is the following one - two percent of the peripheral income generated by Kumamon is counted as Higashino's income.

Two percent of the gain...

This may sound like very little.

But for the image of Kumamon, it can be called a huge amount of money!

You must know that in the era of Tsukasa Higashino, the image of this parily bear was from airplanes and bullet trains to mobile phone cases and keychains, and Kumamoto Prefecture almost from top to bottom and from bottom to top, all of which had the shadow of this parily bear.

Not to mention that this is only the income of Kumamon in Japan, as soon as this image was launched, it quickly became popular throughout the Asian circle, and even the people of the Celestial Empire couldn't resist this cute cute thing, and paid for it out of their pockets.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Kumamon is a world-class Internet celebrity.

So just by eating this two-percent rebate, Tsukasa Higashino is enough to make a lot of money.

Of course, Higashino Tsukasa naturally does not only see benefits and rebates in his eyes, but also some other risk clauses.

The contract also had a non-disclosure agreement that stipulated that Higashino could not reveal the slightest detail until Kumamon's image was revealed.

Tsukasa Higashino also has to ensure the image and action design of Kumamon in the back, and he can't cut corners.

Kumamon also owns the right to use the Kumamon and the surrounding production rights, all of which are owned by Kumamoto Prefecture...

Higashino scanned them one by one, and finally nodded, "The contract is fine, Twilight-san." ”

He left his name on the autograph, then got up to shake hands with Kito and Ken Tanaka: "Happy cooperation. Twilight San, Minister Tanaka. ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Dusk Kito and Ken Tanaka laughed and shook Higashino's palm.

In this way, Higashino Tsukasa can be regarded as directly confirming a contract with Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Please advise me in the future. From now on, Higashino-sensei will be the father of Kumamon in Kumamoto Prefecture. ”

Ken Tanaka said a witty remark, which made Tsukasa Higashino stunned, and then laughed: "Well, please advise." ”

That's right... From now on, Tsukasa Higashino is the father of Kumamon, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture.
