Chapter 63 Unexpected Visitors (2)

"Can't do it? Why? Can't you do it with your ability and successful experience in the United States? A very simple uniform design can't do it?"

"It's not such a problem," Ai Fei bowed deeply in the seat: "I am very grateful to Kato for his recommendation and recognition of my work, but I don't think my works are excellent works that represent the Japanese people and the characteristics of the Japanese nation. So, please forgive me for not being able to take on this task."

Kato Maiichi and Arimiya Iko looked at each other, but they didn't expect that he would reject such an attractive proposal: "Uh... Ai Feijun, you...?"

"What?"

"Ai Feijun, for many Japanese citizens, your name is to enter the families and lives of many people with your comic works. However, their understanding of you is limited to the understanding of your comic works. For more than a year, especially in the more than a year when you are not in the company, countless readers have sent letters to express concern and concern to your life in the United States. I think this has exceeded the interactive relationship between an author and a reader. It seems like Mrs. Yukiko is like an elder who cares about a child traveling far away."

There was a tranquility in the living room, only Kato Qianchi's voice: "...Ai Jun, I don't want to say how successful you have in Japan, but there are countless people who care about you and care about you. I think. Many of these include the employees of the airline that we mentioned when discussing the candidates, right?

Ai Fei was a little dazed: "Kato, what do you want to say?"

"I mean, Ai Jun, why don't you think about these people? When you were a successful comic book man, you used your own pen to contribute a wonderful story to readers. After becoming the president of the company, you launched works created by different authors, bringing joy to readers. Now, you have become a fashion designer, why are you unwilling to use your own creations to serve more people? Just like this time in fashion design, Ai Jun, there is a situation you don't know. The Japanese people, because of the long road, will always have a certain lag in what happens abroad, but this will not be a big obstacle. The great success you have achieved in the United States has caused great responses in China!"

Ai Fei smiled bitterly: "You are so complimenting. Oh, please continue."

"Hi! Many domestic newspapers have published interviews with you, of course, from your interview with the United States. They have aroused great enthusiasm among the people. Even many readers who never care about fashion know your existence. Not to mention the benefits this incident brings to the marketing of magazines. There were also some, such as Mr. Hasegawa, who once thought of going to the United States to interview you, but for one reason or another, this matter was temporarily put on hold."

At this point, he stopped: "Ai Feijun, when you left the company and were looking for development in the United States, I disagreed with it. Of course, you are the president of the company, and your decision is an order. Fujijun and others must follow it. Therefore, in addition to continuing to maintain the operation of the company as much as possible, we are also looking forward to your early return. To be honest, in my heart, I really hope that your life and development department in the United States will be as smooth as it is now, because if that happens, you will return home earlier and work with us to fight for the magazine's tomorrow!"

This was the first time Kato Maiichi spoke in front of him, and his face was a little unnatural: "I hope you won't think my expectations are very vicious, because I never thought about..."

"I understand. Kato, after all, you did not make such a wish out of selfishness, but the most important thing is that your wish seems to have not worked due to distance!"

With a word, the two people on the opposite side burst into laughter.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the atmosphere calmed down slightly. Kato Maki continued: "Ai Jun, although I chose to resign, as a former colleague, I have always looked at you with a respectful attitude that is completely different from your age. I cannot refute your personal decision. However, this time, Japan has established its own airline, and as a member of Japan, should you also contribute to the country? "

Ai Fei smiled bitterly: "I never knew that Kato Kwan is also a person who speaks like this? Kato Kwan, rejecting your proposal was not because of economic reasons, nor did he not want to contribute to the airlines that are about to start operating. I really dare not take on such a heavy responsibility! You mentioned in your discussion just now that you must have both the national characteristics of Japan and the need to be recognized by the international community. Moreover, time is very tight, so I am worried that it will delay the needs of the airlines, so I refused."

"Ai Feijun should not worry about such a problem. Although the operation of airlines is urgent, the demand for clothing will not be immediately obtained. In the early stage, the airline will still be responsible for some domestic and international operations, and will not be launched until 29 or later in Showa. Therefore, you still have enough time to prepare."

"In this case, it will be easier." Ai Feizhan Yan Yixiao: "So, are there any specific requirements for clothing? Oh, Yugong?"

"yes!"

"Get my drawing board and utensils."

"Hi!"

He took the drawing board and utensils, Ai Fei held the pencil in one hand, raised his eyes and squinted it for a while, and the focus unconsciously wandered around, and finally he could only use the only lady in the room as a model. Thinking, the constant movements in his hands, and in a short while, a picture of a girl's full body sketch appeared on the paper. Of course, he only drew a picture of a lady, but did not focus on depicting the clothes on her body. It was not that he deliberately made some erotic paintings, but the woman in the painting was more appropriate than a person.

Kato Maichi and Arimiya Iko both knew his habits and personality, and guessed what creation he might be doing. Considering the conversation just now, there is no need to ask, he was considering the style of clothing on the spot. He didn't speak at the moment, just waited quietly.

It is very simple to draw pictures for Ai Fei, but it is a bit difficult to add clothes to the people in the painting: you must consider the national style and take into account the viewing experience of international guests that may appear in the future. In other words, you need to combine Chinese and Western? Professional skirts are a model chosen from the beginning, but they cannot be a very simple, programmed, professional skirt outfit that suits thousands of people.

I have made a good foundation, and the specific thing is to do some more Japanese-style processing outside, right? Thinking of this in my mind, Ai Fei stopped his hand, took off the paper and handed it over: "This is the initial idea. Kato Kun. Please."

"So quickly?" Even though he knew his working style, Kato Maiichi still felt a little surprised to take the paper: "Is this...? Ms. Arimiya?"

"Hey! Now she is the only one who meets my needs, so I can only use her as the basis. Well, when the clothing style can finally be passed, remember to give it money!"

Before Kato could speak, Ayami Iko curled her lips disdainfully: "You guy!

Kato Maichi was not very familiar with the mystery of clothing design. In his opinion, this time the design was just a little more change to the skirt on Arimiya Iko's body: the neckline of the suit was tightened a little, the buttons were changed from two to three, and a fancy scarf was wrapped around the neck. The skirt on the lower body was also lengthened, just enough to cover the woman's knees. Apart from these, there seemed to be no big change? Can such a clothing work?

He was stunned for a while before he remembered to thank him: "Ah, thank you very much for your work. Ai Jun, can I take this design drawing back to the hotel?"

"What, do you have to show it to other people?"

"Hi! This time I came to the United States with me, including Nomura Jun from the General Affairs Department, and Hatoyama Jun from the Airline Logistics Department. So, I mean, I came to your home to visit tonight, and I just reported to you in advance. If you need it, we will visit you. I wonder when it will be convenient for Ai Jun?"

Ai Fei was stunned: "There are other people?"

"Hey! You don't think I can decide this contract this time, right?"

"Then...well, I have time at any time. You can contact Aiguchi first. Is there any phone number for her?"

"The last one, Ai Jun, do you have any requirements for the remuneration issue?"

Ai Fei didn't even make any thoughts, but just waved his hand casually: "Forget it! I didn't spend any time or energy on this job, just treat it as making a little contribution to the domestic industry.! As you said just now, many people care about me as if they are caring for children traveling far away. It's also the right thing to do for them?"

After seeing Kato off, Ai Fei sat on the sofa, picked up the slightly cooled coffee and took a sip of it: "What are you talking about with Miss Kelly?"

"Eh?" Yumiya Jingzi was stunned: "It's nothing, but she seems to regret what happened today. Xiao Aijun, are you really going to ignore her like this? I think she still attaches great importance to friendship with you."

"Share you? Ha!" He snorted: "She is very cold in the hotel! I can't tell at all that she values ​​our friendship!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Aomiya didn't dare to persuade him anymore, but just sat down quietly next to him: "Will the performance go smoothly tonight?"

"Uh, not as good as yesterday. Anita broke her ankle bone, oh. Don't worry, Carl and I have taken her to the hospital. It's just a slight bruise."

"Thank you for your hard work." He stretched his waist wide: "Are you tired too? Come here and take a rest?"

Yugong walked to him and sat down: "Xiao Aijun, let's take a break early."

"Hey, I will go there later. Well, Iko, how could Kato Kun find this place?"

"Actually, I found the company. I was shocked when I saw him! Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear in the United States?"

"Yes, who would have thought of it?" Ai Fei muttered: "Has he said anything else?"

"Nothing! What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just asked casually. Jingzi, it seems that we are no longer in the United States. Do you think you should return to China?"

"Ah!" After he reminded him, Yugong remembered: "I'm sorry, I've always forgotten to give you this is the telegram I received in the morning."

"Telecom? Ah! It's great!" Ai Fei jumped up on the sofa: "The first step is finally completed! I finally live up to my hard work and run back to China once!"

Ayumiya was infected by his excitement and laughed happily: "Do you know? Jingzi, if you get this project, my industry can enter the track of rapid development. As long as there are no big loopholes and problems in the airport project, hehe, I will only spend the rest of my time counting money!"

"Is it useless?"

“Eh?”

"I mean, is it useless to have a lot of money?"

"Hey, are you trying to make trouble with me on purpose?" Ai Fei pretended to be angry: "Do you think it's not good if you have too much money? Moreover, in the near future, I will have a more large-scale project to start, which is the TV station! This is my last and most important project, and of course, the most cost. I mean, the most investment in the early stage is the largest, and the largest profit."

Yumiya Jingko was just happy because of his happiness. She neither understood nor was interested in this kind of thing. She yawned in boredom: "Ah~! Is that right?"

"Of course yes." Ai Fei was still immersed in excitement and did not notice the change in her expression: "Jingzi, do you know? As long as you can persist until the early 1960s, as more and more TVs enter the family, the prosperity of the TV station is an irreversible fact. At that time, even movies will be replaced by TV. After all, sitting at home and watching TV with your family, eating fragrant popcorn, and spending a lot of money, is indeed a more worthwhile than watching movies... Hello, why don't you talk?"

""Yugong slept like a little baby, and his body was curled up on the sofa with a cold wind, and his shiny saliva flowed out of his old age.

When she bent down and picked her up and walked up the stairs, the woman seemed to notice it, stretched out an arm and put it around his neck: "Xiao Aijun... Well, thank you!"

"Sleep, go to bed."

Put her on the bed and gave her a kiss. Ai Fei stood up. It was already very late, but he was no longer sleepy. He took out the paper and pen from the desk and started replying to the Japanese side: Fuji Takeuchi and his colleagues from the company received a telegram that could bring incredible good news. It was late at night. In a happy mood, he was no longer sleepy. He got dressed and wrote this reply....

"There is a good news to share with you..." Ai Fei smiled and crossed his legs: "I met guests from Japan at home. They hope I can design clothing for airlines that will be officially put into operation in the future. What do you think of such a business?"

But Carl didn't hear the good news at all: "Is it just a design of clothing? What about the production? Can it be left to the company to do it? If so, it can be considered good news."

"Uh..." Ai Fei didn't really consider this question: "Do you think they would agree?"

"No, of course not. The distance, the burden of freight, and the labor costs, I think, all you can do is to provide a design."

"Then, maybe I can ask them?"

"Ike, this is unrealistic. If you were the handler of this matter, you would not have made such a ridiculous decision, right? Does Japan have no garment factory? Moreover, the questions I mentioned are unavoidable. Unless you really have your own corresponding factory in Japan, you can only get the order. Otherwise?"

"It's so annoying!" he muttered in Japanese: "I originally wanted to refuse to accept the design fee, but instead find a way to obtain the production rights! In this way, it would be ruined."

Hearing what he said funny, Carl curled up his lips in a rare way: "So, if nothing else, I think I have to go out. Today I will sign a contract with George of Prada. Oh, by the way, this time Prada's sales performance is limited to New York City, which is 4 percentage points higher than before working with us."

"So fast? It seems that they were working with us the first time the night before yesterday, right?"

Carl smiled slightly: "So, George can't wait for a moment."

Ai Fei laughed: "If it were me, I'm afraid I'll ask it earlier!"

"Oh, Ike, by the way, you told me that you would like to talk to Miss Paston about signing other companies, don't forget?"

Ai Fei really forgot about this matter, and when he heard this, he pretended: "Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten. I'll talk to her after a while."

"Didn't you really forget?"

"Hey! I get it?"
