Chapter 47

Under the condition of limited TV promotion resources, the Wild Cat Group's offline meet-and-greet tour was very effective.

The figure of the Wild Cat Group appeared in almost all of Tokyo's livehouses, and even outside Tokyo, the loyal fan group known as the "Cat's Nest" continued to rise.

Topicality is an important indicator of the popularity of an idol group. Although it cannot support a full personal concert for the time being, the fame already has a solid foundation.

Early in the morning,

Etsuro Kikuchi, the public relations director of BURNING Agency, was reading an entertainment newspaper.

"CATS figure appears in Hokkaido!"

"I always see CATS in the newspapers recently. This girl group seems to have some relationship with BURNING."

Etsuro Kikuchi called an assistant and asked him to investigate the background of this girl group.

This newly promoted girl group finally entered the eyes of the veteran idol agency.

CATS promotion went smoothly,

Naoki Nagayama could finally set his mind at ease and have a drink with Shuichi Ido.

"Ido-san, Otomo-san is very busy recently, we can't find time to get together."

Shuichi Ido on the side rolled his eyes: "Isn't it because you, the president, shirked your responsibilities and threw all the contact work to Otomo-san!"

"(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~, isn't Ido-san also very free~"

"Can that be the same?" The producer immediately emphasized, "The girl group's new songs and dances also need time, okay? Choreography and composition are already being arranged by someone!"

Such thick skin, really can't see any guilt for leaving Otomo Yoshimura behind to drink.

"By the way, what should we do next? Wild Cat Group."

Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, going on programs, releasing singles, holding concerts, appearing on the Red and White Song Festival... The development path of idols seems to have become a fixed formula.

"There is already a certain foundation, so we can just climb up step by step according to the normal idol operation path."

"It was originally to help Otomo Yoshimura enter the idol business. After getting on the right track, we just need to prevent bad stains from appearing."

Shuichi Ido was also very optimistic: "If there are stains, why not just replace the members? Wasn't that the plan at the beginning~"

The two were drinking and pointing out the country here, completely unaware that the protagonist of their discussion was furious.

Inside the office of STARLIGHT Agency,

Otomo Yoshimura was arguing with President Kenichi Hino:

"President, how can this be! This kind of thing! Unacceptable!"

Drank a little wine at noon,

but when he woke up from his nap, Naoki Nagayama found that he had no alcohol at all.

Had to admire this 19-year-old body again.

During this time, besides occasionally practicing the piano and exercising, Naoki Nagayama basically focused on the Wild Cat Group's offline meet-and-greet tour.

However, now, most of the affairs of the Wild Cat Group were promoted step by step, and Otomo Yoshimura's work occupied the majority.

Naoki Nagayama could continue his salted fish daily life.

After being in a daze for a while, he suddenly thought of the shop in Shibuya.

This shop was not rented out. With the popularity of CATS, Naoki Nagayama planned to open a merchandise store, with the main product being cat ear hair accessories. In the future, it might be expanded to all GG agency girl group merchandise.

After entering June, the temperature in Tokyo obviously began to rise. Although it hadn't reached the high temperature that could kill people in July and August, it was possible to go out in short sleeves.

Driving his beloved convertible to Shibuya, he was watched by many young ladies on the road.

Opening the rolling shutter door, the empty shop was rushed by fresh air, causing a burst of dust. Naoki Nagayama coughed, after all, it hadn't been opened for months.

This shop was originally a clothing store. If it were changed to sell merchandise, most of the structure wouldn't even need to be reinstalled.

Cleaning, recruiting clerks, customizing signs, and the procedures required for opening a store, if it were one person, it would be very troublesome, time-consuming and laborious.

But if you ask professionals for help, then it's just a matter of money.

Such intermediaries are definitely not lacking in the talent market in Shibuya.

But speaking of selling merchandise, there is one more thing that must be solved.

Naoki Nagayama dialed the phone.

Ring ring~

Ring ring~

"Moshi moshi, this is the Nakamori family." Chieko Nakamori, as a housewife, is always at home.

"Hello, I am Naoki Nagayama." Naoki Nagayama reported his name directly, "I called before and looked for Akina Nakamori. This time I am also looking for her."

"I see. Akina is at school and hasn't come back yet. If Naoki-kun has anything to say, I can pass it on for you."

Naoki Nagayama said directly: "Excuse me, but this matter may also have something to do with Mrs. Nakamori."

"What? It has something to do with me?" Chieko was a little surprised. She thought it was a date between young people.

"Hai, simply put, last time I asked Akina-san and Miho-san to help draw a product design sketch. Now the product sales are good, but I didn't pay the corresponding reward at the time, and I feel very sorry."

Naoki Nagayama was also quite embarrassed: "In addition, in order not to cause any disputes in the future, the company also needs a formal entrustment agreement."

At this time, Akina Nakamori and Miho Nakamori were still minors, and commercial contracts and agreements needed to be confirmed by parents.

Nearly a dozen manufacturers have already come to talk about patent purchases for cat ear hair bands. At least 6 million yen has been obtained in the early stage, and there will be more than a dozen years of profit in the future.

Such a design sketch, only giving the author a meal, is indeed a bit unreasonable.

If he were a pure businessman, it would be fine, but Naoki Nagayama still had a conscience.

Chieko was very surprised: "I have never heard Akina and Miho talk about this. Naoki-kun suddenly said so..."

"If Mrs. Nakamori doesn't mind, can I come to visit this weekend? During this time, you can also ask Akina and Miho about the specific situation." Naoki Nagayama said.

"This, of course I don't mind. But Naoki-kun, can I ask what kind of reward it is? If it's not much, there's no need to give a reward so formally."

Chieko didn't think the two children would help much. If they didn't ask for a reward at the time, there was no need to make it up now.

"Hai, the original design sketches of the two applied for a patent. Although the creativity is mine, the realization of the creativity into reality is thanks to Akina-san and Miho-san, so I plan to give them half of the patent copyright fee I received. As for the later sharing, they will not participate."

Naoki Nagayama continued: "Some manufacturers have already paid the patent fee, and the reward the two received is about 3 million yen.

This is the reward Akina and Miho deserve."

"3 million yen?!" Chieko Nakamori couldn't believe it. A salaryman family in Tokyo only earns about 2-3 million a year.

You know, the money their whole family earns in a year is only about 1 million, and their daily life is tight, otherwise Akina Nakamori wouldn't think about participating in the competition to subsidize the family.

Such a large sum of money, Chieko couldn't decide immediately, and had to discuss it with her husband, Akio Nakamori.

However, the fact that Naoki Nagayama was coming to visit on Saturday was still decided. At that time, Naoki Nagayama would come to explain the content of the agreement in detail and prepare the contract and reward.
