"This is a doll customized by Yan from a factory, and it's been selling quite well lately."
"Eh..."
"Sorry, Master Grim, I'm just an employee. Wouldn't it be better if you just called Yan?"
The officer observed Grim's face, and explained with a sweaty forehead.
Grim narrowed his eyes slightly.
She didn't remember having any kind of agreement with Yan to sell the doll, so the greedy businesswoman must have taken her picture to modify the doll without permission.
"Hmm, I'll call Yan right now."
"You just go about your business."
Grim took out his phone, dialed Yan's video call, then sat down on the sofa in the shopping center.
Beep.
Once the call is connected, what is visible is a pair of red and white sneakers.
A moment later, Yan's voice sounded from afar: "wait, newcomer, I'm a bit busy right now."
"Busy with what?"
"As a businessman, what else do you think I would do? Of course, I'm busy with live trading."
Click.
As the camera swayed, Yan's big face finally appeared on the screen.
As usual, he held a folding fan, with a relaxed but ingenious smile on his face, and sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, asking in a strange dialect, "is there anything you need from me?"
"Just now I saw a doll very similar to me in the Outpost shopping center. Can you tell me where it came from?"
"Oh that..."
Yan opened his folding fan and covered his face.
The market is a battlefield.
Ever since Grim's livestream fundraiser began, Yan has been aware of the business opportunity within.
Since Grim is very popular with Nikke, why not first imitate a number of his custom dolls to test the market and see how the market performs.
Unexpectedly, despite not being an official channel, dozens of Commander dolls were sold out by Nikke on the first day of sale.
Faced with such a promising industry, as an entrepreneur, how could he not be tempted?
After pondering for a moment, Yan closed his folding fan and said with a smile, "newbie, I know what you want to say, maybe about me infringing on your portrait rights, but I heard from Dolla that you've been underfunded lately, right?"
Ordering from the factory costs money, and distributing dolls to each Nikke is also a laborious task. Well then, why not leave this matter to the professionals?
"So you mean..."
"Want to collaborate?"
From processing and production to marketing and sales, I can take care of everything for you. About the advantages, we can talk directly.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to the Outpost soon."
About a few minutes later.
An old-fashioned sports car stopped at the entrance of the shopping center.
Yan took off his sunglasses, a cheerful smile on his face, and stepped out of the car.
"Here."
Grim rarely paid attention to him anymore.
Regarding Yan, Grim only remembered his extremely full and fleshy thighs, and a pair of sneakers that he almost never changed.
In an era when most Nikkes were fond of wearing high heels, Yan had a special penchant for sneakers.
No matter what he wears on his upper body, under his bare feet, there will definitely be a pair of very mismatched shoes.
As for why...
Maybe it's Yan's unique taste.
"What, new kid, staring at my feet, could it be that you have a special hobby?"
Yan sat on the sofa next to Grim.
He opened his folding fan and chuckled softly while covering his face.
Grim shook his head: "No, I'm just curious, have you never worn socks all year?"
Yan chuckled and explained, " Nikke is not human; we usually have body temperature control devices, so I always dress very casually. And as business people, we often need a little personality, especially when it comes to business. People may not remember your name, but they will definitely remember you as someone with unique tastes who loves to wear sneakers."
"Now, back to the main topic."
"Regarding the dummy fundraising business, and the profits, etc..."
"Is this acceptable?"
Yan handed over the contract.
Grim glanced at him and felt that the previous requirement made sense. Yan is also a generous person, only taking a 20% cut of the profits as a return on investment.
But only the last clause confused him.
"Party B (Grim) has to go to the shopping mall every month to participate in the live stream sale with party a (Yan). If there is no live streaming activity on that day, party B will become Yan's secretary for one day and will be paid a salary.]"
"What does this clause mean?"
"Beginners, there is no free lunch in this world. I'll give you part of the profit, so you should also give a commensurate reward, right? Yan chuckled, patting Grim's shoulder softly with his folding fan: "don't worry, as my secretary, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Grim nodded and asked again, "Are you planning to enter the live streaming industry these days, always talking about live streaming sales?"
Yan sighed and said, " Yes, it is indeed difficult to do business in a physical store these days. I really don't understand why that Rupee can make such a huge profit from the sale of live broadcasts every day, while I, who run the official business, make less profit from it. Don't you feel weird?"
"A little."
Grim didn't expect it either.
Among the three in Talentum, Rupee is actually the richest.
Although he spends money very quickly.
"Well then, right. Recently, I am planning to expand several businesses targeting Nikke, and you are the best spokesperson."
"After all, even though I don't mind you signing a contract with someone else, if that Rupee jerk keeps trying to lick you, you should restrain yourself. Don't forget we still have a contract."
"Understood?"
"Well..."
Three cups of warm tea later.
The two, who were engrossed in conversation, changed the subject and began discussing Grim's girlfriend.
Yan suddenly covered his face with his folding fan and asked, "Oh, by the way, I heard from another Nikke that you recently dated someone?"
Grim coughed, a serious expression on his face: "who told you?"
Yan's gaze drifted: "who said? I don't know, but everyone says that, so you don't have a boyfriend, Do you?"
Grim shook his head: "No, How is that possible."
Hearing him confirm that he didn't have a girlfriend, a smile appeared on Yan's face: "right."
"Beginner, you are still young, and you will probably take many detours in the future, but as your senior, I can give you some pointers."
"First, if you want to date, you have to date someone who has good financial conditions."
"For example, a person like Yan? Grim's rhetorical question made Yan close his folding fan, giving him a seductive look: "Oh, so you mean you think I'm a perfect fit? How about you be my secretary tonight?"
"Hehe..."
"Are you sure you have nothing to do tomorrow? Don't tell me you can't get up then."
A non-committal smile appeared on Grim's face.
They say blows are feared by young and strong people, and rich women are also afraid of young and strong men.
Yan looked really tempted. He covered his face with his folding fan and thought for a long time before showing a regretful expression and saying, "Unfortunately, I have business to talk about tomorrow morning... * cough*, forget it."
"This is a new item brought from the factory."
"Commander a specially made doll resembles you. Just take it."
Yan knocked on the table gently, and an employee dressed in a suit brought a plastic box.
"Whether you sell it to someone else or give it to Nikke that you like, it's all up to you."
"Okay, thank you, Yan."
"You're welcome."
"I have some business to do, so I'll go first. If I have time, I'll call you right away."
"Don't forget about the contract."
After leaving the box full of dolls, Yan got into his sports car and drove off.
Grim takes the box and returns to the Commander's Office.
As soon as he sat down, his phone vibrated constantly in his pocket.
- - - - - - Commander Fan Club? — — — — — —
Professional woman (Yan): "I have big news."
Yan: "I just asked, and our famous person at Outpost doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
Anis: "Oh, really, really?"
Privaty: "I knew it! So who started the rumor? Even if the Commander had a girlfriend, I would have started it."
Anis: "Privaty, can you stop being narcissistic?"
Anis: "your interest is so obvious, the Commander is not unconscious, but he has not accepted you. Isn't it obvious he doesn't like you?"
Privaty: "heh, Anis, don't try to stop me."
Privaty: "I checked, commander's zodiac sign only shows he's a bit slow to adapt."
Neon: "....."
Neon: "Pfft."
Neon: "?"
Anis: "?"
Anis: "you are really hopeless."
Neat: "Privaty, I didn't expect you to believe in the zodiac."
Privaty: "w-what are you talking about? I was just looking for it in passing! I'm not superstitious about it!"
Love cats (Admi): "Zodiac and MBTI are quite popular with girls these days..."
Admi: "by the way, after Privaty came back yesterday, she spent the whole night matching with the zodiac app, and no matter how she matched, she always got under 30 points with Commander."
Privaty: "Admi, what, what did you say?!"
Admi: "then I won't say it. So, Privaty, can we go to bed early tomorrow? The soundproofing in our dorm is not very good."
Soline: "Matching? What applications? Can a kind person share it?"
Soline: "@Privaty, sis, please share ya!! I want anything! ?"
Private: "you want to come too? Well, I'll be generous and share it later."
Privaty: "uploading a file [Matching Score.apk"
Soline: "Thank you for sharing."
Maiden: "Thank you for sharing."
Rupee: "Thank you for sharing."
Moran: "although I don't believe in this either, just take it as a sign of good luck."
Moran: "Oh, 90 points!"
Moran: "What? Looks like my match is pretty high!"
Rupee: "94 points! The conclusion even says that the Commander and I have a high compatibility, both physically and mentally~ we are practically a perfect match?"
Soline: "I got 86 points, hmm, that's unacceptable."
Maiden: "I also got 90 points."
Vesti: "92 points, hehe, a, ane feels pretty good, Eunhwa, you should try to match too?"
Eunhwa: "I don't play around with things like that, it's feudal superstition."
Emma: "Eunhwa, one match is enough, everyone comes to play~"
Eunhwa: "....."
Eunhwa: "97 points, is this software serious?"
Privaty: "what happened?"
Privaty: "Why am I the only one to score under 30 points? This software must have a problem! I'm going to complain!?"
Anis: "Huh."
Anis: "poor Privaty, I almost feel sorry for you?"
Neon: "Anis is also suitable, right? I was looking at it from the side, only 12 points?"
Anis: "Neon, shut your mouth!"
Anis: "how could the person who made this software know about the feelings between me and Commander?"
Anis: "horoscopes and all that is just superstition! Haha, definitely superstitious, agree and Type 1?"
Neon: "???"
Neon: "Quick, Take off the sunglasses!"
Privaty: "what the hell, a while ago you pitied me, but now you are also like this."
Privaty: "well, Anis, I will not ask you, but what about neatly?"
Privaty: "@Neat!!"
Neat: "I was doing the paperwork, why did you mention me?"
Privaty: "can't I ask about your match score?"
Neat: Image
Neat: "99 points, is there a problem?"
Privaty: "?"
Anis: "?"
Neon: "?"
Neat: "after all, I am Nikke who has been with Commander the longest, so getting this grade is a natural thing, isn't it?"
Anis: "Wow, that's definitely the aura of the main wife."
Neon: "this time, we are completely destroyed..."
Privaty: "it wasn't edited, was it, neat?"
Neat: "I won't be like you, Privaty."
Exia: "99 points? Too weak, everyone look at mine—"
Exia: "my compatibility score reached 100,000,000,000 points!"
Exia: "cool, right~?"
Anis: "can the hacker leave???"
Rapunzel: "what the hell is everyone talking about, compatibility? Wait a minute, could this be the match I was thinking of? Ha ah... I didn't expect Big Brother to play such a complicated game; not only did he multiply with every Nikke, but he even scored it! This is too obscene!?"
Rapunzel: "it's a pity I'm not at the base right now, so I can't come to the Big Brother breeding party... But just thinking about it makes me so excited!??"
Soline: "What-What-What-What-What-What, what is a breeding feast?"
Laplace: "Well, I just got here, so what kind of party did the young man have?"
Maxwell: "@Laplace, great hero, Syuen is looking for you, do not wander."
Me: "Are you looking for me? It's a pity I can't come to the party, but it's Okay, I can come next time!"
Laplace: "heroes out!"
Laplace leaves group chat]
