Chapter 36: Japan's Last Glory (Please collect and vote for it)
On a day off, Lu Deyang was forced to finish his manuscript in a cafe.

Kumagai Genshin stared at Lu Deyang, fearing that he would accidentally exchange the drawing for a set of blank paper.

As a very ambitious editor, he also wants to be editor-in-chief.

This assignment to Europe is a very important task. "Pokémon" can be said to be the super trump card of "Weekly Shonen Sunday". Everyone in Shogakukan is counting on this work.

With so many elves, the IP has great future potential!
If Lu Deyang hadn't drawn too much yet, they would have already thought about animating it.

Even so, they have recently often promoted the painter Lu Deyang together with the Suzuki Group.

"Kumagu, how about letting Akina Nakamori be my assistant? I have a disease where I lose my inspiration when there are no beautiful girls around me." Lu Deyang asked.

"Don't be ridiculous, teacher. She's been in a lot of trouble lately. You can't get involved with her."

Kumagai Gensuke wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief and said this.

Akina Nakamori was at the peak of her career a few years ago, but unfortunately she fell in love with the scumbag Masahiko Kondo, the original singer of "Thousand Thousand Songs".

It’s hard to describe what happened to this piece of shit.

He cheated his girlfriend out of 8000 million yuan, saying he wanted to buy a house and get married, and then he turned around and went racing.

He was dating several women at the same time and met Anita Mui by chance. He lied to her that he didn't have a girlfriend.

After being discovered, he told Anita Mui: You are strong, but Mingcai is very fragile. She can't survive without me.

There are countless such things.

Not to mention his emotional scumbag, when his mother got into a car accident, he didn't even dare to rush to the hospital in order to avoid reporters, which led to his mother's death. This kind of mother-hunting person is also very explosive in Liben.

Even though he had expected the bottom line of the entertainment industry, this kind of person still refreshed Lu Deyang's cognition.

“What do Japanese people think of her?”

Lu Deyang asked curiously.

"Most people think she doesn't love herself and now she drinks every day. The newspapers are too lazy to take pictures of her," said Gensuke Kumagai.

"Shouldn't this be Kondo's problem?"

"His firm, Johnny's, is great."

Kumagai Gennori said.

Lu Deyang curled his lips. Nakamori Akina's love-brain was really pathetic.

He left behind all his career, money and love, and finally even his reputation.

In the afternoon, Chairman Paolo Mantovani came to the door.

After the good-natured chairman sat down, he spoke directly: "I heard recently that Monica is taking an exam. After the results are out, I will invite the whole team to help her celebrate."

"Isn't that a bit too high-profile, Mr. Chairman? And she's already passed."

Lu Deyang asked.

Make it like a graduation banquet, and he will collect some red envelopes?
"It's okay." Mantovani said, "A sponsor has come to me recently, and I wanted to ask you what you think."

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed in the locker room?"

Lu Deyang said.

Mantovani finished his coffee in one gulp and said, "The main reason is that they don't understand much. Now there are Japanese sponsors who really want to sponsor us."

Lu Deyang glanced at Kumagai Genshin.

Kumagai Gensuke stood up and walked out with some resentment.

Lu Deyang said: "My personal idea is to ask for a high price, sign the contract early, for a longer period of time, and also have championship bonuses and personal honor bonuses for the players."

"The Japanese are indeed very rich." Mantovani nodded and said, "But I don't know how much we should ask for. There are very few such examples in football. I heard that Manchester United can get 10 pounds a year from Sharp. Why do we want 15?"

"Add a zero at the end, Mr. Chairman," Lu Deyang urged.

Mantovani was stunned.

He didn't expect Lu Deyang to have such a big appetite. Even though the Premier League does not have a high status in European football now, they have many colonies, so the spread rate is guaranteed.

No matter how powerful an Serie A team is, it would be enough to ask for about 100,000 or 80,000 more.

"The Japanese are not short of money now, but they need influence." Lu Deyang persuaded: "We are now the team with the highest exposure in Serie A, that is, the most prominent team in football. It is very cost-effective to spend more money to sponsor us."

"That's too many. I'll ask their people. There are many companies."

Mantovani said.

It doesn't matter. Where there is competition, there are high prices.

Now they are the most fucking arrogant.

People don't care about this at all.

"Try to sign the contract as early as possible, for a longer period of time, and preferably with an option to increase the salary based on championships and performance," said Lu Deyang.

Once the bubble in Japan bursts, there will be no chance to get such high sponsorship fees again.

It’s a pity that Sharp is a poor small company, otherwise Mr. Han would be able to make a famous scene when commenting on Serie A in the future.

In addition to chest sponsorship, Adidas now has the most jersey sponsorship. Some Italian teams use local brands, such as Sampdoria's sponsor is Kappa.

If we really want them to compete, we have to see the Americans make an effort.

It has probably only been a few years since Nike started to frantically expand its territory.

Judging from their sense of smell, it is possible that they have already taken a fancy to Samp.

Only after Mantovani left did Kumagai Gensuke return to his seat.

"Teacher, next time if you don't have any inspiration, can you tell me in advance?" Kumagai Gensuke asked pitifully.

"Don't worry, Kumagai. I'm doing this for the good of the magazine, to let readers know that it's very rare to update on time, and they must learn to cherish it. In our country, some writers may only update a few thousand words a year."

Lu Deyang said.

"Will you continue to work after you return home?"

Kumagai Genshin asked with some concern.

"Of course, I will give you the manuscripts of these two issues as soon as possible." Lu Deyang said.

Kumagai Gensuke nodded.

It is a rare opportunity for Lu Deyang to work in a cafe for a day.

He couldn't just hold Lu Deyang back and prevent him from going home.

After packing up his things, Kumagai Gensuke also prepared to leave. Because the job changed from temporary to long-term, the company even rented a house for him in Genoa, with an office downstairs and a living area upstairs.

Kumagai Gensuke's future is now entangled with Lu Deyang's.

He had no other choice.

After returning home, Lu Deyang found that the dinner was very rich and there were candles on the table.

"I did well in the exam, I should have passed!" Monica announced the good news immediately.

"That's really nice."

Lu Deyang kissed her on the forehead before sitting down to eat.

After dinner, the two of them rolled into the bedroom without even clearing the dishes.

Their bedroom is separated from the Mancini family's living room by a wall.

The house has good sound insulation, but the constant banging of the head of the bed against the wall still makes Mancini very annoyed.

Damn it, are we still allowed to watch TV?
He stood up and knocked hard a few times but to no avail. When he turned around, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Federica's eyes were almost bulging.
