Rebirth of the Father of Anime

sa——National Space Administration.

"Didn't we have another launch plan recently? Tianman's porter said he wanted to cooperate with us to take something to the moon." The deputy director said to the person in charge of this launch plan.

The general manager was wearing black-rimmed glasses and was looking at some information. Hearing this, he raised his head and frowned: "Tianman? What is that? Their porters can cooperate with us..."

The deputy director laughed loudly: "This is a pseudonym for a cartoonist. He is very powerful and is famous both domestically and internationally."

The general manager suddenly realized: "Oh, come to think of it, my granddaughter likes to look at things." He didn't look at it. He only heard his granddaughter mention the name. He didn't know much about it, so he didn't say much.

Then, the person in charge frowned and said: "He wants to cooperate with us? He is an entertainment person and we, a high-tech aerospace person, are completely incompatible. What is there to cooperate with?"

The deputy director explained: "You said you want to organize an event and cooperate with us to plant the Gun of Longinus on the moon?"

"The spear of Longinus? The one that killed Jesus?" the chief said.

The deputy director shook his head: "That's a cultural relic, and it's a religious relic. If you really put this original on the moon, a religious war might break out. In one of his works, there is a Spear of Longinus, which is shot at The moon, so they wanted to restore it in reality. They built a Gun of Longinus according to the original proportions and wanted to cooperate with us and let us insert it on the moon."

By the way, the deputy director also described the size of Longinus's gun to the person in charge. The person in charge looked sullen: "Nonsense, this is not playing house. It can be inserted as long as you want. The slightest change will have unforeseen consequences." Estimated results. What's more, with such a big thing, do you know how many variables there will be? How much manpower and material resources will be consumed by these variables, and even the designs of launch vehicles and spacecraft will need to be revised additionally! Aerospace is not entertainment, countless people It’s not just to play with him that you spend so much energy, it’s really nonsense!”

Two people were making nonsense in a row, and the person in charge was also furious.

If it was just "nonsense", the deputy director would not talk to the general manager about it. He added: "He will give a high sponsorship to this event."

"Say more?" the person in charge asked.

"At least 700 million..."

Regardless of the cost, Tianman will use all the profits from this event to support this event... On the surface it is an event, but in fact it is also a support for the national aerospace industry.

There is no profit in this thing at all, it is a bottomless black hole that attracts money. But we can't give up. People will eventually get out of the earth.

He Chen's little money is a drop in the bucket for the aerospace industry, but it can be regarded as his attitude. In-depth cooperation with the country is very beneficial to his Tianman. After letting the country see the influence of culture, it will not worry about giving He Chen policy support.

Use money from fans in other countries. Come to develop Tianman and support national construction... He Chen is becoming more and more like a devil now.

And He Chen did not hide this at all, and it was not a forced purchase or sale. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. This crowdfunding was all voluntary by the fans.

The person in charge raised his eyebrows: "Ahem, if it can be reduced a little, we can't think about it - it's too big and can't be placed in the cabin, which is very dangerous. For the lunar landing robot, operating this Planting something big is also a burden. After all, our robots have other tasks."

"It's still US dollars..." the deputy director added.

"..." The general manager was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea, calmed down his shock, and then said, "We don't understand the world of rich people."

The general manager said seriously and solemnly: "We can give it a try, and we must not let down a patriotic entrepreneur's heart to serve the country. For us, this is also a good opportunity to get some experimental data that has never been done before. And It’s okay to try something new.”

"Then do you want to tell them about modifying the size of Longinus's gun?"

The person in charge vetoed: "If the other party asks for it, then there's no need. If we can't even do such a simple thing, it would be too embarrassing for our space agency. Although for the moon landing robot, there are some Difficult, but we can use the ejection device. Anyway, there is no need to recover it. It just needs to be inserted on the moon. In this way, the lunar landing robot only needs to add one more task: calibration, and then use the ejection device to directly eject the Longinus gun. , let it be inserted on the moon. I will discuss it again with the people below about the feasibility of an external or built-in ejection device. If the change is made, it may not be very big. I believe that this small problem can still be overcome by everyone... If If you succeed, you will be given a generous bonus."

After finishing speaking, the general manager said with emotion: "If the country has more patriotic entrepreneurs like this, why worry about our aerospace not being able to develop?"

Although crowdfunding said that the project would only start after reaching 1 billion, Tianman had already been in contact with the National Space Administration before the event started. After all, this requires the consent of the other party, and at the same time, you need to understand some restrictions. Otherwise, after the event is announced, it cannot be fulfilled, which will be a big trouble.

…

“The highest online crowdfunding ever!”

"He Chen, a man who creates miracles!"

"Is it the madness of the sky, or the madness of the world?"

"The world of "eva" is about to come to our world!"

Top newspapers around the world reported on this unprecedented event. He Chen's name once again occupied the world's front pages.

This crowdfunding campaign has already raised US$100 million within three days of its launch.

It instantly broke the record for the highest amount of online crowdfunding, as well as the record for the fastest breakthrough speed of crowdfunding, and this record is constantly being refreshed by Tianman itself every moment of the day.

There is not only one voice in the world. There are many media clamoring that this is a hype stunt, with a billion dollars or something, and it is impossible to complete it in three months.

But in just three days, one-tenth of the work has been completed.

Although fans were definitely the first wave of support at the beginning, it only took three days, and we can see the fans' terrifying cohesion and enthusiasm and support for "eva".

Such a quick and loud slap in the face immediately silenced those people.

In this crowdfunding campaign, among the items listed with the highest prices, many people in Tianman thought they were just for display and no one would place an order.

No matter how beautiful, domineering, or awesome those EVA machines are, they still cost 3 million. If you have a sports car, you can drive it out to show off and enjoy the pleasure of the wind, but such a big guy can't move at all except squatting in your own home. Would anyone spend 3 million to buy such a thing?

But the fact is, there are actually people willing to buy it!

In the first week, Tianman received orders for four EVAs, three of which were for the No. 1 aircraft and one for the No. 2 aircraft. The employees of Tianman deeply feel the enthusiasm of Tuhao fans.

In the following time, Tianmanlu received a total of more than fifty orders. Tianman immediately sent this batch of orders to the mechanical processing factory that it had already contacted. Because it was just a simulation model and did not require a driver, it was not troublesome to manufacture.

There are more than 50 orders, which add up to 1.5 billion yuan. Although it seems like a lot, the real bulk of this crowdfunding is still those low-priced small things. After all, Tianman has a large base and has a large number of fans all over the world. Those expensive "luxury goods" cannot be bought, but it is easy to buy some very practical small things. And most of the people who buy those big things also buy some smaller items. The price of such a small thing is nothing to them.

Added up, the amount of money raised by these little things is significant.

Among them, the most abundant one is the 100 yuan ID card, not only because it is cheap, but also very practical! As long as you are a fan of "eva", almost everyone has one.

In some places abroad, there is no such thing as a bus card. They just swipe their credit card directly. So Tianman cooperated with some foreign banking institutions to jointly launch a batch of "eva" ID card credit cards. Popular abroad.

Later, He Chen thought about it and couldn't ignore one thing and lose the other, so he changed the content of the 100 yuan ID card and launched the "eva" ID card version of the credit card in China.

The group of fans who purchased EVA machines are all Tianman's gold customers, and Tianman has dedicated personnel to contact and communicate with them.

"A customer asked us if we could sell Gundam." Li Youyou told He Chen the news from the customer.

"……Gundam?"

"Well, this customer is a Gundam fan. He said that he hopes to buy a 1:1 scale Gundam, as long as it is the same type as EVA. It doesn't matter whether it can be moved or not. Even if the price is higher, it will be no problem... Of course, he He also said that if he could afford it, he would be willing to accept it no matter how high the price was, as long as he could afford it.”

He Chen looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a moment, and then accidentally ordered Li Youyou.

"It's too troublesome for big guys like this to always let others do their work. Let Zhou Zhe consider acquiring a heavy machinery factory - preferably a heavy factory that has been converted from the military to civilians. It doesn't have to be limited to the country, it can also be done abroad. Consider it, especially if those funny guys in Ukraine happen to be noisy and unstable again. If appropriate, you can consider directly acquiring their military factories. Even if you can't acquire them, you can still recruit some talents. We are a private enterprise with a background in the entertainment industry, and we have been targeted There will be a lot less sex, and I think the country is also willing to provide us with great conveniences. We can also recruit people for foreign machinery and engines."

"...What do you want to do?" Li Youyou asked.

He Chen's eyes flashed with enthusiasm and excitement:

"Let's make Gundam!" (To be continued...)
