Chapter 677: Four hundred million
During this trip to Tokyo, Meng Huo will stay until a few days before the carnival begins.
In fact, there are still more than ten days before the Carnival. He originally wanted to go back and forth between Tokyo and Su Hua, but Meng Huo thought it was too troublesome. He thought that he might as well do the production of the two episodes of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" in one go, and then enjoy the Carnival with all his heart.
This caused the employees of the animation department of Sakura Company to suffer. Not to mention the overtime work on weekdays, even the double break has become a single break. Weekends are the only time for them to rest. Meng Huo got up early in the morning and wanted to find a few artists to talk about work, but unexpectedly, after a call, Takashima Eiji was dissuaded first.
"Teacher He Xi, just let them go. Work overtime for a week, so let them have a good rest."
After he said this, Meng Huo couldn't continue to persevere. In fact, during the Carnival, the animation department of Sakura Company was also on holiday. Meng Huo's idea was to let them have a good rest after working hard, but others seemed to think so.
In order to let the employees rest, Takashima Eiji took the initiative to invite Meng Huo to go out to watch sports events.
“Volleyball League?”
Sitting in the Takashima couple's car, Meng Huo was very curious about the destination of the trip.
"Yes, the annual Huaxia Cup is coming soon, and now it's a sports boom." Eiji Takashima said with a smile: "During this period, all regions and provinces and cities are choosing participating teams. Teacher, if you want to prepare new comics, you have to watch these sports occasionally!"
There are two major sports events in China every year, divided into summer and winter, and the Huaxia Cup, held in summer (summer vacation), is the most eye-catching. It covers almost all sports competitions. Meng Huo has often seen similar reports recently.
The Huaxia Cup was held after the Manga Island Carnival. Now is the final selection time for sports representatives from various regions. Eiji Takashima took Meng Huo to watch the volleyball selection match in the Far East District, and it was the last day. Today, the players who participated in the Huaxia Cup were selected.
Meng Huo was interested, and he had never watched a large-scale sports event on site.
The three of them arrived at the Tokyo Sports Hall and the volleyball court. Although they had covered up a little, the organizer soon found out about their arrival - Liu Yurong, president of the China Volleyball Association, happened to be on the scene. He was shocked when he heard the news.
"You said Teacher He Xi was at the scene?" He looked at his subordinate incredibly: "Are you sure you read it right?"
"It should be true..."
The subordinate reported cautiously: "Although he was wearing a hat and couldn't confirm his appearance, his figure and body shape were very similar, and he was surrounded by two vice presidents of Sakura Company. Those two followers were probably Teacher He Xi!"
Liu Yurong's head turned sharply. He heard that He Xi came to Jidong a few days ago and had always wanted to visit him, but the competition was busy recently and he had not been able to take time. If He Xi really came to the scene this time, it would be a huge opportunity.
"Okay, you go down. Help me find the owner of the guild hall and the others. We will find time to meet Teacher He Xi later." He waved his subordinates to leave, and then walked a few steps nervously: "What should I do? The money is not enough now... I would have liked 200 million as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Liu Yurong quickly took out the phone and called the vice president of Yanjing, wanting him to help make some preparations.
"President, you haven't given up yet. Haven't you been to Manga Island in person before?" The vice president sighed on the phone: "Teacher He Xi has rejected you once, let's stop thinking about this."
A while ago, Liu Yurong had been to Manga Island and also met Meng Huo smoothly. At that time, he received a reward of 100 million, but Meng Huo refused on the grounds that "I will decide on the new manga by myself if I don't have to bribe me."
"Last time it was because of insufficient money!" Liu Yurong said unwillingly, "Teacher He Xi didn't tell me directly that he didn't draw volleyball comics. This is a hint. As long as we get more money, we will definitely convince him!"
"That's not necessarily."
On the phone, the vice president smiled bitterly: "I just received the news yesterday that the basketball association has already given 400 million yuan to convince Teacher He Xi. This is the highest reward so far, but Teacher He Xi still refused."
Liu Yurong took a breath, 400 million, darn, is the Basketball Association crazy?
Although He Xi's new comics started at hundreds of millions, no one would dare to take action when fighting for such a large amount. The better ones were millions, tens of millions, and the more ordinary ones were tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
The 200 million he expected was already a huge number of super bleeding. Unexpectedly, the Basketball Association was willing to take out 400 million - he was simply a lunatic, and no one dared to pay higher than this price!
"Is He Xi's new comic that valuable?" Liu Yurong felt a headache. No matter how powerful He Xi is, it is already very good to buy a new comic for 100 million yuan. Two hundred million yuan is a bit of a risk. Four hundred million yuan is definitely not worth the loss. The Basketball Association is gambling, and it has not been successful yet!
"That's to say, how valuable is that? Now everyone says that He Xi's new comic is just a hype, so we should not follow the trend." The vice president continued to persuade: "You don't know that after the Basketball Association was rejected, President Wu of the Football Association directly scolded them for having problems with their brains. Don't mention that he was too embarrassed."
"Now the Basketball Association has given up. He Xi is so unhappy, why should he pay attention to him? He has read his comics too seriously!"
"What don't want to sell money? He Xi is clearly the Lion is asking for more money, and then asking the media to continue to hype his new comics... The president should not pay attention to him. We use this money elsewhere, which makes more meaningful."
After the vice president said something, Liu Yurong frowned. He didn't feel anything when he saw He Xi, but now after hearing this, he suddenly felt that He Xi, the cartoonist, was too arrogant.
He really treats his comics as a savior? He doesn't sell them for 400 million. Does he still want 500 million or 600 million? How can he be so stupid in the world?
"How is the situation with other associations except basketball?"
Liu Yurong asked again.
"What else can it be done? The Basketball Association has bid 400 million. They are the richest associations except football. We can't afford this price. When other associations see this situation, even if they have the heart, they will have to be extinguished."
The vice president is very sure that in this way, no one in the entire sports circle will pay attention to He Xi's new comics. Even if the Volleyball Association gives up, it will not be taken away by its competitors.
Liu Yurong will be cut off when he is done. He decided to give up this matter, with a price of more than 400 million yuan. Not to mention the sports circle, no one is willing to make a joke in the chess and card industry. No one cares about his new comics in the future.
