Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 453 Questions and Discussions

"I think the money you spent should be more expensive than the real value of this item, and I don't think this item should be a very rare and unique item." Fan Meng said after coming out of the antique shop.

"Don't tell me that you found clues to the treasure inside. At least I don't think there is any treasure in this simple painting. Of course, it may also be because my level is not enough."

"Actually, this one is really different from normal shells." Liang En said as he took out the pair of shells from the box, opened it and pointed to the picture above.

"The things painted in this traditional shell should be relatively fixed, basically all of them are the contents of the picture scroll of "The Tale of Genji", such as floating boats, dragonflies, cypress trees and other representative scenes."

"But look at this." Liang En said, turning the shell in his hand to the patterned side, and said, "This is obviously a scene of a tea ceremony, and it does not belong to the picture scroll of "The Tale of Genji."

"Indeed, this painting is a tea ceremony scene." Even though Fan Meng didn't know much about these things, he could easily recognize that the painting on the shell was a tea ceremony scene.

After all, the Japanese tea ceremony is very characteristic, so even an ordinary person can see what is painted on it as long as he knows something about Japan.

The owner of the antique shop before sold this item at a high price because he was able to confirm that this item has a history of hundreds of years and is a real antique, so the natural price of such an orphan will be relatively high.

The reason why Liang En was willing to take this item was because it was indeed an orphan, and it had enough collection value anyway, and on the other hand, it was because such unique items often contained some special information.

Of course, Liang En didn't use cards to confirm this matter, and he was able to make such an inference purely because of his experience in searching for various treasures for such a long time.

Especially the Japanese character itself is relatively restrained, so the probability of implying something or something through this kind of gadget is not small.

However, Liang En didn't directly use the card to search, because he had already made an appointment to meet at TYPE-MOON company in the afternoon, so they went to a top-notch chicken white soup ramen restaurant called Bon in Ginza [-]-chome.

Ramen is a kind of food that is relatively quick to make in various countries, so ramen is ready in a while.Because the noodle soup is cooked slowly over low heat, the chicken broth is extremely rich and even a little sticky.

This mellow chicken soup with seasonal vegetables and low-temperature cooked chicken char siu has raised the flavor of the whole bowl of noodles. The only fly in the ointment is that the noodles are purchased from the market, which feels inferior to the soup and ingredients. grade.

After eating the noodles, Liang En and his fellow eaters felt that they were not full, so they each added an extra serving of chicken butter rice, mixing chicken nuggets and butter into the steaming rice, and adding the store's special Unexpectedly delicious after black truffle soy sauce.

Of course, Liang En was also surprised by the price of this store when he finally paid the bill, because the three of them spent 30 euros in total, which is not cheap, but considering that this is Ginza, it is already very affordable.

The most important thing is that compared with most other diets, ramen is obviously much faster to eat, especially suitable for a group of them who have things to do in the afternoon to quickly fill their stomachs.

After a quick lunch, they quickly went to the office where TYPE-MOON was located. Because the distance between the two sides was relatively close, Liang En and the others took the subway and backed up on foot to reach their destination in less than half an hour.

TYPE-MOON is located on the first floor of a 20-story office building. Considering the land price in Tokyo, it is obviously impossible for this company converted from an interest group to own its own real estate even if it has a successful work.

So they simply rented a floor in a commercial building in the city as their office space. After all, they are now opening a shop, and it is obviously not appropriate to start work in a random place like in the past.

Liang En and the others looked a little embarrassed when they came, because they needed to bring gifts with them, but this time the gift of four stained glass works was not light.

"Thank you very much for your gift." Like Europeans, Japanese are more inclined to open presents on the spot. This should be regarded as a new custom brought to Japan after the Meiji Restoration.

After peeling off the wrapping paper, looking at the four pairs of stained glass artworks sent by Liang En, the two core staff of TYPE-MOON who came to welcome them seemed very happy.

Because for them, this kind of work created by Liang En himself and supervised by Artoria Pendragon as the protagonist is obviously more valuable than other more expensive gifts, because it can reflect Liang En En's hard work.

This is very important in Japanese culture. Compared with expensive gifts, this kind of gift that can clearly reflect the intention of the giver is more important to the recipient.

After exchanging pleasantries, several people walked through the company to the meeting room. Liang En could see that the overall level of the staff was good. At least in the overall atmosphere, everyone seemed more positive, which was better than the dead feeling of traditional Japanese companies.

Entering the meeting room, the two sides quickly talked about the recent development of the company.Just like the report I read before, the recent development of the whole company is very good.

With the popularity of the first game, the company began to further develop the Fate IP, such as designing some peripheral items and continuing to create novels under this background.

"Actually, we have a big plan now." After discussing the company's development for a while, Takeuchi Takashi turned on the projector on the wall and started playing the company's next plan.

"Our next task is to make an animation we named Fate/stay night, the plan is 24 episodes, and each episode will cost 3000 million yen on average—"

"That is to say, I'm a little nervous about money now." After hearing what the other party said, Liang En immediately realized what the other party wanted to express.

In fact, the Japanese are somewhat similar to the Chinese when they speak. For example, when they need to continue investing, they often choose to express their ideas through some roundabout words instead of directly asking for money.

As for the reason why the company is a little tight on funds now, it is very simple, although the sales of the last game are very good.It even won last year's galgame sales champion, crushing the games that many major manufacturers have prepared for several years.

But the problem is that the scale of the company is too small now, and there is not much money on hand, so it is natural to feel powerless in the current rapid expansion.

Compared with the other world, Liang En's injection of funds into the company obviously accelerated the company's development, but it also made the company's stall bigger, so when they wanted to make animations, they naturally found that they couldn't raise enough funds in a short period of time. funds.

Fortunately, this problem is not serious. The lack of funds will only affect the speed of development but will not affect the overall company security. At least according to the company's inference, if the funds are not available, at most it will only prolong the plan. .
