## Chapter 655: The Mascot Put on Display
Mouri Ran finally vented the anger from being startled earlier and asked with a smile, "Brother Hichiji, what are you doing here?"
"Picking up Sonoko to go to the Company for a meeting," Chi Feichei said, "Ai, hand the file bag in the storage compartment to Ran."
Haibara Ai moved the computer on her lap to the side, leaned over to take the file bag from the storage compartment, and handed it out the Car Window.
"This is the Data Teacher Mouri asked me to collect," Chi Feichei explained to Mouri Ran, "Trouble you to take it back to him."
"Ah, okay!" Mouri Ran took the file bag and held it securely.
Suzuki Sonoko used a Handkerchief to wipe off the Lipstick on her Face, pulled open the Car Rear Car Door, and leaned out to say hello after getting in, "Ran, we'll go first, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!" Mouri Ran watched the Car leave with a smile alongside Conan.
In the Car, Haibara Ai stared at the posts being refreshed on the Computer.
This Forum panel was originally for discussing Mercenary and the like, the Atmosphere was very Chuunibyou… but that wasn't the point, the point was that the Data Package she had put up had already been paid for and downloaded.
Looking at the Reviews, only a small Portion were there for the Story, more Chuunibyou teenagers just browsed the Catalog and decided to pay.
The Replies below the Post were full of Good Point, this Data was indeed extensive and comprehensive, and very well organized.
She had already earned more than 300 US Dollar, and when the Popularity went up, and the Post ranking rose, the Income would increase even faster.
……
THK Entertainment Company.
In the huge Conference Room, besides the Shareholders and Odagiri Toshiya, the Company President, the Persons in Charge of relevant Departments were all present.
When Chi Feichei attended the meeting, he brought Haibara Ai in with him.
This was what he had agreed with Haibara Ai, Odagiri Toshiya, Morizono Kikuto, and Suzuki Sonoko beforehand, to let Haibara Ai follow along to listen in, to see if Haibara Ai had any Interest in Company Operation.
Other Employees were a little surprised to see Chi Feichei bring a Little Girl, but they didn't ask too much.
What followed was a long meeting Time.
The first season of the "Inter-Genre Singing Competition" Variety Show had ended, and various Departments gave summary reports, and by the way, talked about the preparation progress for the second season.
There were also reports on Music, reports on the recent situation of Entertainers, Company Finance reports, Movie Filming progress and expenditure, recent excellent Project Planning…
Originally, Chi Feichei, Suzuki Sonoko, and Morizono Kikuto didn't need to attend this kind of meeting, but Odagiri Toshiya issued a notice when the Variety Show was about to finish broadcasting, setting this meeting as a regular meeting.
The Reason was also sufficient: the Company had achieved such great success just after its establishment, he needed to put the Mascots on display to Listen To the Achievements, to show his Value of this success, and to encourage Employees to make persistent efforts.
That's right, they were here to be listening-in Mascots.
Two Hours later, the summary report meeting ended, and the Persons in Charge of various Departments left the Conference Room. What followed was the Shareholders' meeting.
Odagiri Toshiya stood up, and handed out a stack of copied Data to Chi Feichei, Morizono Kikuto, and Suzuki Sonoko one by one. Seeing that there were no other people, he was too lazy to maintain the serious Appearance of a Company President, and stretched lazily, "Take a Look first, do you want to change to a smaller Conference Room?"
"No need for the Troublesome," Morizono Kikuto also didn't maintain his Appearance, took the Folder and stood up, walking in the Aisle while reading the Document, "I'll stand for a while, my Bones are almost stiff from sitting."
Suzuki Sonoko was even more direct, lazily Lying on the Table to read the Document, "This kind of meeting is really boring…"
Haibara Ai also Yawned, and Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei who was still sitting upright beside her.
Uh-huh, Brother Hissashi is still calm.
Chi Feichei casually flipped through the Document content, then casually handed it to Haibara Ai, "You take a Look too."
Odagiri Toshiya Look Towards and saw this, and chuckled, "Are you really planning to cultivate your Younger Sister from a young age? But is it a little too young for her Age to start getting in touch with this?"
"The meeting just now was already boring enough, be Careful it backfires, arousing the Rebellious Mentality of Children," Morizono Kikuto said, and directly sat on the Conference Table, winking at Haibara Ai with a smile, "Little Miss, if you feel bored, I can have someone take you around the Company."
"I won't feel bored," Haibara Ai was not tempted by Morizono Kikuto, and lowered her Head to open the Folder, "But this should be a Company secret decision, right? You're just letting me read it like this?"
"What Relationship does it have?" Suzuki Sonoko waved her Hand, changed her Posture to Lie down, looking like a Slacker, "Anyway, there are only four of us Shareholders, and we are all Friends, no need to care about those Rules."
Haibara Ai raised her Eye to See, Suzuki Sonoko was Slacker Lying here, Morizono Kikuto was directly sitting on the Conference Table, Odagiri Toshiya was also lazily leaning against the Chair Back, and even Chi Feichei ran to the Window to Smoke after throwing the Document to her, without any of the seriousness that a Shareholder meeting should have, "Aren't you worried that I will leak the decision?"
Odagiri Toshiya Looked at Haibara Ai's Calm Face, and sighed deeply, "Ai, you have Hissashi as an Older Brother, you must be under a lot of Pressure, right? I think Little Girl should be more lively, don't learn from him."
"You're overthinking it," Suzuki Sonoko Lying down to read the Data, taking the Responsibility off Chi Feichei, "This Kid was like this before."
"Is that so?" Morizono Kikuto casually picked up a Teacup, "I always thought Kazuki was sensible enough, Ai, this is sensible to an excessive Degree…"
Haibara Ai: "…"
Hey hey, can you take the Problem I raised seriously.
These three people's chat is seriously off-topic!
"Of course they are not worried," Chi Feichei said with his back against the Window while Smoking, "If you have a Problem that leads to Project failure, I will bear all the Losses."
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment before she Realize that Chi Feichei was answering her Problem, "I won't Say it."
"My Older Sister was deceived by bad guys when she was a Child, and went to my Old Dad's Office to Look at a Data, and told the other party, although it was timely saved, it still caused a Loss of nearly ten billion Japanese Yen, if it were Brother Hissashi, he could Probably afford to Lose it, and can also spend Money to Teach a Lesson!" Suzuki Sonoko revealed her Older Sister's embarrassing things with a smile, to be honest, she really didn't think that the Consequences of Haibara Ai casually leaking secrets would be unaffordable, as long as it didn't damage the Foundation, "By the Way, Brother Hissashi, aren't you going to Check the Proposal Data again?"
"This Proposal was proposed by him," Odagiri Toshiya said, "It doesn't matter Whether or Not he Looks at it, we should hurry up and finish reading it, there is also a celebration Banquet tonight to celebrate the great success of the Variety Show, no matter how busy you are, you must go."
Afterwards, no one spoke again, and quietly finished reading the Data issued by Odagiri Toshiya.
This was the Proposal about the Onmyoji IP Operation.
In this World, there was a precedent, "Kamen Rider" was a popular IP, but it only had Development in Movies, Merchandise and other On Things, which was far behind Disney that Chi Feichei had come into contact with in his previous life.
For the 'Onmyoji' IP, Chi Feichei still Intention to start with Film and Television, which can drive Music Records and live Stage Play.
Afterwards, launch Merchandise such as Toys, Clothing, Accessories, Furniture, Stationery, and Food. It is not necessarily necessary to do it Oneself, commercial authorization can be conducted.
This involves Property Rights issues.
To solve this Problem, there is a ready-made Assistant - Shinchi Group transnational Legal Department!
As long as there is infringement, collect Evidence, sue to death, and firmly grasp this Benefit in hand.
In addition, Online Game and other Projects related to the Internet can be handed over to Umbrella, while Theme Park and Theme Resort just happen to coincide with the Suzuki Foundation's expertise.
However, THK is not affiliated to Shinchi Group, Umbrella, or Suzuki Foundation. If you want to borrow other people's strength, you must give Benefits.
How much Benefit to give specifically is what the Shareholders should Discuss today.
Odagiri Toshiya saw that Morizono Kikuto, Haibara Ai, and Suzuki Sonoko had almost finished reading the Proposal, and said, "Since there are only a few of us, then the meeting will be simpler. The First Problem, is this Proposal feasible or not? If you want to do well, the Investment is not just comparable to the previous Variety and Movie. Once it fails, the Foundation of THK Entertainment Company will be shaken, THK Entertainment Company is still a newcomer in the industry, suffering such a big failure, the confidence of Employees will also suffer a big blow. Of course, the return obtained from success is also very rich, these are in the Proposal, everyone can carefully Consider whether or not to try?"
Chi Feichei returned to Between Seats and put out the Cigarette, "I am the proposer, since I proposed it, it represents my Attitude. Next, Listen To your Views. I can guarantee one Point, I have channels to provide the World's top-tier Movie Special Effects, and it's okay to have a Portion of the Fee partially owed first."
"Even if it fails, we are easier to recover than other Companies, and easier to bear the Consequences of failure, and THK Company doesn't need to worry about funding Problems," Suzuki Sonoko said seriously, "I can Discuss with my Old Dad and let the Bank approve a Loan for us, and Brother Hissashi is the same, I think we can try."
"I also agree, but there is one Problem to Consider, Onmyoji and Folk Tales are Local Culture. With our Company's Ability, as long as the Script, Filming, Post-Production, and Promotion keep up, the results in Japan will not be too bad," Morizono Kikuto reminded, "But it will be difficult to promote it Overseas, especially Western countries. Under the Impact of Cultural Differences, they may not be able to accept Onmyoji. If it is a theme like Vampire, Angel, or Demon, it would be better."
Chi Feichei Looked Towards Haibara Ai, "Ai, do you have any Views?"
"Since the Possibility of failure in Japan is not high, I think we can try," Haibara Ai said with a serious Little Face, "If we are talking about Problems, I think there is another Problem to pay attention to, which is the Age Group of the target Crowd. According to my Knowledge, Kamen Rider can succeed, largely Because they are aimed at the Child Group, and whether it is Toys or Theme Park, the support of Children aged 5 to 12 is indispensable. Will the Onmyoji theme be a bit difficult to understand for Children of this Age Group?"
"Not bad, Ai," Morizono Kikuto praised with a smile, and Looked Towards Chi Feichei, "Can it be solved?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Look at the script planning."
Those are all things to Consider Afterwards.
"I have no Opinion either, then let's try it," Odagiri Toshiya lowered his Head to Look at the Proposal placed on the Desktop, "Next is the Cooperation issue with Shinchi Group, Umbrella Company and Suzuki Foundation…"
"Abstain." Chi Feichei abstained very simply.
Cooperation can bring a lot of Convenience and help, but you also have to give away some Benefits.
He is not at a Loss, that is, the Difference between Money going into the left Pocket or the right Pocket, but for Odagiri Toshiya and Morizono Kikuto, whether or not to cooperate, how to cooperate, and how much Profit each side accounts for, these things must be carefully Considered, and he is not Suitable to express his Opinion.
