Chapter 458: 454. Setting Sights on Calabash Brothers (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

After Nakamura Senkawa said goodbye to Zhang Ran here, he was quickly picked up by someone and got into a luxury car.

"Young Master Senkawa, how was your day today?" an old man asked with a smile.

Nakamura Senkawa said, "Not bad, this study tour can be considered to have had some gains."

"Is it that 'Calabash Brothers' thing you mentioned?" the old man said; he had already heard about Calabash Brothers many times from this Young Master Senkawa.

A rare trace of smugness appeared in Nakamura Senkawa's eyes, "Yes, Grandpa Chitian, if this Calabash Brothers is made into an anime or manga, the sales will definitely be good. Even if we don't talk about how much money it will make, it definitely won't lose money."

As he spoke, a shrewd light flashed in his eyes, "And by then, my reputation will definitely be able to be built up in advance, which will have a very good effect on my future."

The old man said, "Then have you gotten the copyright for this Calabash Brothers? Also, will your classmate's parents agree?"

A look of disdain appeared on Nakamura Senkawa's face as he said, "I've already inquired about it. This classmate's family is just ordinary people. When the time comes, if I give them a little money, I'll definitely be able to buy it."

He had used a bit of verbal manipulation to find out everything from Zhang Xiaotao and other classmates.

He didn't go to ask the teachers or anything; there was no need, and compared to these children, the teachers didn't know as much.

"Besides, this is just something two children made casually. Being able to sell it for some money is an unexpected windfall, so why wouldn't they agree?"

"Also, the copyright awareness here in Huaxia is very poor. By then, I reckon they won't think much of it over there. I'll just say a few words and give them some money, and that will be enough."

"As long as the contract is signed, it won't matter what happens later anyway; they wouldn't be able to win a lawsuit regardless."

"And if they do sue, that's even better. We can take the opportunity to hype it up again, which will also be of great benefit to the growth of my reputation."

Nakamura Senkawa was very happy at this moment. He had originally only planned to come to this primary school for a study tour for a period of time, but he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

His family had a manga and anime industry, and Nakamura Senkawa's father was the one in charge of this industry.

From a young age, Nakamura Senkawa had been very knowledgeable about this line of work; he was also a genius, and even more so, he had been ambitious since he was a child.

Their branch of the family received no attention at all within the clan. His father was too incompetent; he was the biological son of the head of their family, yet he only obtained the manga and anime industry.

Nakamura Senkawa would not let such a situation happen to himself, so he had to build up his own momentum. He had to start building his momentum from a young age to gain the attention of the family and then obtain more resources.

Therefore, since last year, he had been on a study tour in various countries. It wasn't to learn how much knowledge he could gain; he had already learned these primary and middle school subjects long ago.

He just wanted to experience the cultures of different countries and increase his own knowledge. It could be said that this Nakamura Senkawa had been a genius since he was a child, and an extremely rational and utilitarian genius at that. He knew what he wanted and had made many preparations for it.

The reason he chose this Fuyuan Primary School for this trip to Huaxia was just because he wanted to take a break; more than a year of study tour life had made him tired too.

But he hadn't expected such an unexpected benefit.

"Grandpa Chitian, go prepare the contract. In the contract, you must state that the creative rights for Erwa and Sanwa will belong to me. At the same time, you must also obscurely note in the contract that this was actually created under my guidance," Nakamura Senkawa said with the look of someone who had everything under control.

The old man looked at Nakamura Senkawa's appearance, and the smile on his face grew even thicker. Their young master was truly a genius.

To have so many ideas and such high commercial insight at such a young age—their branch of the family had hope.

"Very well, I will handle this properly, Young Master, please rest assured," the old man said with a face full of smiles.

This was his task, and he would do it well. No matter what, he would make sure the young master got his wish.

And just as Nakamura Senkawa said, this time, he reckoned that as long as he gave them a little money, it could be resolved.

He was still very confident in this regard. After all, it was just something created by a child; he estimated that 80,000 or 100,000 would be enough to settle it.

If that didn't work, at worst he would just give a little more; 200,000 would be the absolute limit.

Zhang Ran had no idea that someone had set their sights on the copyright of Calabash Brothers and even wanted to swindle him out of it.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't really care about such things. No one had ever been able to swindle anything out of his hands.

On the way, Zhang Xiaotao also talked a bit about Nakamura Senkawa. Zhang Ran also learned that this person was a transfer student who had joined halfway through, had been here for less than half a month, and seemed to be just like the Auston brothers from before—they were all just here to play.

"I don't really like this classmate," Zhang Xiaotao said, kicking his shoes in some annoyance.

Zhang Ran asked curiously, "Why? I think your classmate is very polite."

Zhang Xiaotao didn't know how to express his feelings either, only saying, "I don't know what it is, I just feel uncomfortable being with him. I always feel like every word he says is a lie to me, treating me like a fool, I don't know..."

Zhang Xiaotao didn't know what else to say, but in front of his grandfather, he said whatever was on his mind, pouring out all his thoughts at once.

Hearing this, Zhang Ran laughed, "Then just ignore him from now on."

"But... but he's coming to our house tomorrow," Zhang Xiaotao said.

"Let him come. Just treat him like an ordinary classmate, don't take it too seriously," Zhang Ran said casually.

He didn't care about this; he was a patriotic youth himself, so he wouldn't try to persuade Zhang Xiaotao otherwise.

Moreover, this Nakamura Senkawa's first impression on him wasn't very good either. Although he seemed very respectful and seemed very polite, what kind of person was Zhang Ran? What kind of people hadn't he seen?

He could tell that Nakamura Senkawa wasn't doing this from the heart; the element of affectation was too great.

If it were an ordinary person, they really wouldn't be able to tell, but it couldn't escape Zhang Ran's eyes.

However, Zhang Ran couldn't possibly bicker with a child; that would seem too low-class.

Liu Lu, on the other hand, was quite happy to hear that Zhang Xiaotao had a classmate coming over as a guest, and even prepared to make more dishes tomorrow.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Ran thought for a moment and still said, "Don't make it too sumptuous, just keep it the same as usual. If it really doesn't work, it wouldn't matter if it's even worse."

Liu Lu was stunned. Since when had her father-in-law become so stingy?

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "It's your son who doesn't like this classmate of his, and I find him a bit unpleasant to look at too. Anyway, just treat him as an ordinary classmate when the time comes."

"Besides, he might not even stay for a meal, so don't prepare too much."

"Dad, why? Isn't it a good thing for Taotao to make friends?" Regarding the education of children, Liu Lu still had her own ideas.

Hearing this, Zhang Ran said, "Of course it's a good thing for Taotao to make friends, and I support him doing so. However, I don't really like this friend. Why don't you just prepare according to your own ideas? If you feel he's okay when the time comes, then cook a few more dishes; if you also feel he's not, then just cook a little less."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Liu Lu thought for a moment and said, "Alright."

She also wanted to see what kind of person this classmate was, who had left a bad impression on her father-in-law at first sight.
