I refuse to be a plagiarist

For example...the younger generation who is well versed in otaku culture.

"Moshimoshi, is that Hasegawa-senpai?"

In the dim room, Ishigami Yu, who was sitting on the bed and fighting with the BOSS on the screen, glanced at the mobile phone that suddenly lit up next to his butt. His eyes lit up, he called up the pause menu and pressed the answer button.

Perhaps because they did not belong to the same school, although the relationship between the two was good, he did not have much contact with this senior.

As the son of the president, Ishigami Yu is well aware that acting casually may cause inconvenience to the parties involved, so when Hasegawa does not take the initiative to invite him, the boy generally rarely bothers the other party.

The same is true for Hasegawa.

So when he suddenly received a call from Hasegawa Hide, Ishigami Yu was naturally full of curiosity.

bother you for something.

Why on earth would this senior suddenly think of contacting me?

"......It's nothing, I just want to do a simple 'market research'."

I described my recent troubles to this junior.

After listening to Hasegawa's thoughts, Ishigami Yuu paused the game and returned to reality from the virtual world. He nodded thoughtfully and began to help him analyze the situation on the other end of the phone:

"So this is ah.

In this case, determining the market’s audience and preferences is indeed a question worth considering…”

As the second son of the president of a toy company, although he does not need to take any responsibility because his elder brother is the pillar of the company, Ishigami Yu has been influenced by his elder brother for a long time and knows a little about issues such as new product decisions and market planning.

So, at least in the general direction, he had no objection to Hasegawa Hide's decision.

But when these problems were materialized before his eyes, the young man who had a steady attitude in the last second instantly turned into a weak fighter.

"Um...Senior, don't you have any ideas of your own?

Ah, no, I mean......."

Realizing that his words might not be appropriate, Ishigami Yu hastily changed his words and explained carefully:

"Senior, do you have no hidden ideas at all now?"

Honestly speaking, in Shi Shang's own opinion, the story of the third young master of the Xiao family in the Douqi Continent is already full of ups and downs enough.

Although it seems to be approaching the end, he feels that even after the work is completed, he will still be interested in rewatching it many times.

There are quite a few people in the class who share the same idea as him.

"Have you... encountered anything recently?"

Probing cautiously.

From a reader's perspective, for Ishigami Yu, X-Breaking the Sky is undoubtedly a successful work.

Being well versed in otaku culture, he understands very well how insane the entertainment industry chain in this country is.

Although it is just a light novel, with the sensation it caused in the market, after its completion, industries such as comics, animation, and fan exhibitions will inevitably emerge one after another like mushrooms after rain, forming a huge group.

As the author, Hasegawa Hide, especially as an author who controls all subsequent adaptation rights, he will surely soar to success at that time. It can be said that he has a real "promising future".

But on the phone, from Hasegawa Hide's tone, Ishigami clearly noticed that this senior seemed to be in a state of anxiety and restlessness.

Based on his previous experience with the other party, he felt that the reason why the other party was so anxious and utilitarian in investigating the market was probably because he had some unspeakable hidden purpose.

For example...

Well, for now, Ishigami Yu had no idea what kind of secret this senior had.

After all, in his opinion, this senior with the aura of an idol is not only kind-hearted and has a strong sense of justice, but also has a very steady personality and is hardworking and has the perseverance to work hard for the future.

That highly concentrated self-discipline also means that the other person will not get involved in any messy things.

Moreover, everything seems to be going according to plan and the future is bright. Ishigami Yu really can't imagine what kind of unexpected accidents Hasegawa will encounter in the near future.

"Ah... you kid figured it out."

The other end of the phone.

Hearing the slightly worried question from his junior, Hasegawa leaned against the balcony wall, looked up at the starry sky, and said with a slightly melancholy tone:

"It's just that we are carrying the things we will need to carry in the future in advance."

I told this junior about my recent plan to purchase a property.

Although he has a promising future and has accumulated a considerable amount of savings, it is still a little difficult for him to purchase a long-term property in this area where every inch of land is valuable.

However, what Hasegawa didn't know was that when he said this, Ishigami, who was on the other end of the phone, was shocked and devastated.

Although the age difference is not much, they are already preparing to start from scratch and buy a property.

this........

Looking at the game menu on the screen, at this moment, he suddenly felt an indelible sense of guilt.

Chapter 86: Ishigami's personal opinion

People are more mad than people.

Although he often heard this sentence from his friends before, for Ishigami Yu, who was in Shuchiin and dealt with all kinds of rich kids, he didn't feel much of a stir in his heart.

But this Hasegawa Hide is an exception.

Without parents to help, I have to fight bravely alone.

Now, while I was still transforming into a werewolf for Lani, the other party had already begun to prepare to buy a property, leaving behind a small world of his own in this city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money...

Horror!

It's really terrifying!

While the other party is constantly striving for the future, what are you doing?

Looking at the game controller he had put aside, it was not until this moment that Ishigami Yu clearly felt the gap between people.

It's not a suppressed sense of frustration, but a regret for wasting one's time.

My parents gave me a platform far beyond the average person, but I didn't use it properly...

Perhaps he had not had a clear understanding before, and since the young masters and young ladies of Shuchiin also sang the same praises of youth, Ishigami Yu did not care too much.

But now, after subconsciously comparing himself with his "grassroots" predecessor Hasegawa Hide, the things that had been originally ignored suddenly emerged in his mind like a backflow of seawater.

Although he is a otaku, he is not the kind of shut-in who reduces all his desires to zero and is ready to lie down for the rest of his life.

The dormant flame of "progress" in my heart began to emit a faint light again.

However, it was this insignificant ambition that made the boy unable to help but tap the tatami with his toes, wishing he could create a three-bedroom, one-living-room house.

"Ishigami....Ishigami?"

"Oh, oh.... Sorry, Senior, I was distracted just now."

Listening to the sound gradually growing louder in his ears, the young man on the stone trembled and returned to reality from the state of "I examine myself three times a day".

Reflection is reflection, regret is regret.

Ishigami Yu did not forget that the most urgent task at the moment was to help someone in trouble find a good answer.

"Actually... to be honest, I think there is absolutely no problem with the style of your work. Most of the boys in the class are loyal fans, and even many girls discuss the plot of the story during class breaks.

Can you give me a moment?

Tomorrow, I want to discuss with everyone in the student union to see if there are any new ideas...”

Birds of a feather flock together.

Just like Hasegawa Hidekai considered gathering ideas from the broad masses of the people, when faced with a problem that he could not solve independently, Ishigami also immediately thought of calling for help.

According to Ishigami's own thoughts, Hasegawa at this moment was simply perfect, and there was no need to think so far and pursue the so-called "excellence".

But since the other party has made the decision, then as a junior and partner who has received kindness, he feels that he should do his best to help.

But when one's own ability is not enough, one can only seek help from other members of the Student Union.

"Oh, Baiyin and the others......"

Hasegawa naturally had no objection to Ishigami Yu's idea.

But for some reason, he always felt that his friend Baiyin Yuxing might not be able to give him any constructive suggestions.

[Forget it, don’t we still have that little girl? ]

The image of a certain pink-haired politician's offspring comes to mind.

Although the other party often appears to be eccentric and weird on the surface, when it comes to dealing with problems seriously, he is often the most reliable one in the team.

Of course, this is limited to high school students...

“According to the concept of marketing, if you want to plan a product, you must first divide the market audience.

In my opinion, among all consumers, women and children are often the easiest groups to be persuaded and drive consumption.”

Only men understand men best.

Among the elderly, children, women, men, and even pets, all sales players are well aware that, generally speaking, men are the most rational and the most difficult to take money out of their wallets.

Little money, lots of things to do, and a love of asking questions...

In comparison, it is particularly easy to make money from women and children.

Even the expenses of pets often exceed the normal expenses of an adult male.

However, due to their biological structure and mentality, in this social structure, adult males often account for the bulk of the labor output and can obtain more stable income.

However, shrewd capitalists can easily leverage their interpersonal relationships to pry open the "wife" and take the money out of the "husband's" wallet.

"Isn't this... a little too one-sided?"

In the school corridor, listening to Hasegawa Hide's analysis which sounded like he was talking to himself, Yukinoshita Haruno blinked her eyes, feeling that it was somewhat biased.

As a girl, especially a strong-willed girl with a good background and abilities, although she didn't say it directly, she was still a little bothered by Hasegawa's rhetoric.

In response to the girl's rebuttal, Hasegawa Hide raised his eyebrows, stared at her for a few seconds, and then belatedly began to explain:

“I’m just talking about most of the situations.

Under certain circumstances, men are just as likely to fall headfirst into marketers’ consumer traps, and even behave more crazily than women.”

Just like some fanatical groups in the two-dimensional world.

During the time he was in contact with the model, Hasegawa also accidentally met some fanatics who found him a little incredible.

When consuming, they do not consider their own financial affordability and the cost-effectiveness of the goods. It can be said that they like things purely because they like them, and they can "generate power with love" for a role without hesitation.

Although this passionate relationship is worth lamenting, from the perspective of a bystander, this way of consumption really makes him laugh.

This phenomenon also has a corresponding group among girls, and the most famous of them is the group called "star chasers".

".......All right."

Faced with the boy's well-reasoned statement, Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but in the end she was unable to make any effective rebuttal.

Indeed, whether boys or girls, when faced with the ruthless marketing of merchants, there will always be times when they can't help but fall into it.

Compared to the calculating boys, girls are sometimes more impulsive.

Chapter 87: You can always trust Yang Nai

"But from what you said, when choosing the subject matter of your new work, do you want to select girls as the main market?"

The guy in front of me never says meaningless words on his own initiative.

Especially this kind of long and thankless analysis... After listening to Hasegawa Hide's words, Yukinoshita Haruno instantly realized a possibility.

But the topics that girls can be interested in...

"Hey, are you really determined to do this?"

"Ah, I can only say that I have some such thoughts.

But as for what to do in the end, that hasn’t been decided yet.”

There was no denying Yukinoshita's question.
