"This one……

Although I think your company’s proposal is very good, the copyright of this gun is not owned by our company. Its copyright belongs to Miss Catherine Edson herself, which is also authorized by her personally. That’s why we have our "Black reef". "

DreamWorks was talking with an Italian man at this time.

The other party mō his half-bald head, and at this time, he really couldn't explain the matter to the other party.

"Excuse me, can I talk to Miss Edson about related issues?"

"Please wait."

The staff at DreamWorks has to call to inquire.

The bald man shook his head. He originally thought it would be better to come here like this than to use the phone, but now it seems that he has gone for nothing.

"......, you mean Beretta?!"

On the phone, Catherine was a little surprised.

"...Well, I can arrange to meet and I have time at any time."

Taking the phone off, the staff member said to the bald man: "Miss Edson said she has time at any time, so she can meet at any time."

"Oh...Is that all right tomorrow?"

"Miss Edson said she has time at all times." So, the meeting between the two parties was arranged until tomorrow, and that evening, the bald man arrived in Silicon Valley.

Catherine waited in the office the next day.

"Kate, the other party is just an ordinary Italian arms company? Why do you care so much?" Yesterday she and Catherine abandoned the survey for a day, and they worked out a questionnaire survey. They planned to take this in these two days. The questionnaire was distributed.

But at this moment, a call made Catherine stop her work.

"A counterparty is more than just an ordinary arms company."

Pietro Beretta Co., Ltd. is one of the oldest firearms production industrial organizations in the world. The Beretta family has already begun to produce light weapons as early as the beginning of the 1st century.

The company’s icon consists of three arrows with rings. The meanings of these symbols are: easy to aim: straight trajectory: hit the target.

There are many munitions manufacturers that have been passed down from ancient times, and all of them are not small.

The bottom line.

One of course, if you change to another deductive name, it seems that more people know, at least Catherine feels another name is more comfortable: Beretta.

Of course, this Italian company is still not well-known.

In fact, such an arms manufacturer will not become a world-renowned product until after the 1980s.

A Beretta 92f pistol, this classic pistol is the key to Beretta’s fame.

This pistol was selected during the first pistol replacement test in the United States in 1985. Named , the gun was selected in the second selection in 1989 and renamed 0.

Before Catherine came to this world, the U.S. military had all been equipped with this pistol, replacing the Colt m911a1, which was equipped with millimeters for nearly half a century.

Even in the Gulf War, officers above the US lieutenant officer, including the commander-in-chief, all had such guns around their waists.

However, the other party's current reputation is not as bullish as it was later. Catherine felt that if she could improve her relationship with the other party, it seemed to be good.

Of course, the other party is not completely unfamiliar. In 1945, the Italian army adopted Beretta pistols as standard guns. Since then, Beretta’s business has grown by leaps and bounds. At the end of World War II, Japan, one of the Axis powers, was bombed into ruins by the Allies: after the former Soviet Union occupied Germany, the famous German Walter factory was moved to the Soviet Union, leaving only a broken wall in the original factory. : Only because of its location in the deep mountains, the Beretta factory not only escaped the bombing of the Allied forces, but also maintained the integrity of the factory due to the earliest surrender of Italy, enabling it to continue developing pistols and launching the highly acclaimed 〖Yun〗 Fire a gun.

I have to say that the luck of this company is as lucky as this country called Italy.

But from the perspective of allies, it seems that this company is not as useless as Italy...

"Hello, Miss Edson, my name is Francis Remington and I come from Beretta."

The two sides met soon, and Catherine looked at the bald man in front of her. The other side was also looking at Catherine.

"Hello there."

The two sides said hello.

"Miss Edson, I'm here this time because of your anime called "Black Lagoon". The pistol used by the heroine in this anime is very distinctive. Our company is very special about it. interest."

One in the animation "Black Lagoon", Catherine's double gun for Levi is the special version of Beretta 91F.

If it were only this, Remington would naturally not notice anything, but it seemed that Catherine had reproduced too well, so it is easy for people to see the traces of Beretta.

At this time, Beretta, which is still not well-known, would naturally care about Catherine's product.

One and most importantly, this is very similar to a pistol being designed by Beretta.

Well, more than 95% similarity.

In the animated version, there are many shots, which are close-ups of the pistol in slow motion when the pistol is shot. The screen is full of close-ups of the pistol. There are even a lot of them in the original history. It was in 1976. Tower launched the m84 pistol. This pistol fully embodies the style of Beretta-an ergonomic grip, firing needle safety, section set card bamboo shoots and section set fixing pins adopt a separate design, single-piece trigger and battle scale, double row ammunition Boxes, insurance for both left and right hands, etc.

The Beretta 92F is a successful work born here.

But Beretta's design was completely made up in advance by Catherine, and it was even better than theirs!

"..., that is to say, you need an authorization?" Catherine understood what the other party meant.

"you can say so."

"Is my gun painted well?

If someone else said that, Remington would have to laugh at him, but there is such a coincidence in this world.

But Remington can’t say, “Why is your pistol so similar to the product we designed? Do you want to stab us?!”

In that column, it is guaranteed that Catherine will blast him out immediately.

But if you launch your own new products according to the company's schedule, what if you get sued by the other party...?

Don't think that it's impossible to do this just for animation and design. It's not that such a thing has never happened.

Just in case, some things must be done.

Before the ipad went on sale, a company was established to acquire the ipad trademark!

Although speaking, since 1934, Beretta has technically adopted the same design as the German Walter Pistol. Fully open ejection shell mouth, holster fixing pin and barrel separation, and the pituitary design at the bottom of the barrel. And so on, thus introduced the Beretta 1 roar pistol, the gun has the embryonic style of the Beretta pistol.

But speaking of it, it really looks more like the one in the anime.

In the film, there is a plot that someone cuts Levi's gun with a samurai sword, and then the parts are violently released. The design inside is actually very similar to the company's product!

Catherine has always had the habit of drawing illustrations when writing novels. This has been the case since Harry Bōte. The reason why "fate" was split is actually because Catherine drew 14 pictures, which happened to be 14 The cover of this novel..................,

Catherine didn't even notice, she completely remembered the structure of Beretta 92f, she was just a puppet army in her previous life.

…She doesn’t even understand the difference in her own body from ordinary people.

But now Catherine feels good about herself.

Nonsense, can you be upset if someone comes to deliver the money in person?

"...So, we can spend $100,000 to buy the copyright for this pistol."

As soon as the foreword is retracted, this product, as an ally, is definitely a cheating product like Italy.

"100,000?"

Catherine daggered and raised her eyebrows.

Even if Catherine has tens of billions of funds, but for ordinary people, 100,000 US dollars is a lot. Such a patent that the other party is willing to pay 100,000, has shown that the other party must attach great importance to this pistol.

If you change a master negotiator, as long as you are within the bottom line of the other party, Catherine believes that perhaps the copyright can be sold for 300,000.

"The conditions are very good, but unfortunately, I don't care about money. Money is just something outside of my body."

As a Catherine with a capital flow of 20 billion, money or something, it is just paper, but sometimes used to cultivate sentiment props, the other party frowned.

"I only have some conditions~lightnovelpub.net~ If you can mention me to complete it, this is not impossible."

"condition?"

The other party seemed to be mentally prepared.

"Don't worry, I don't have many requests...

I just want to customize a product in your company. "

Perhaps the essence of a capitalist has penetrated into the bones. Catherine immediately thought of making Levi’s pistol and selling it at an animation exhibition. Sometimes Catherine really got into the eyes of money.

But this incident also suddenly enlightened Catherine.

Through things like props and costumes, to subtly change the people around you, is this plan feasible?

It's not just that. Can you achieve a strategy of cultural erosion through alliances with other people's companies?

Catherine couldn't help falling into thought. ! .
