Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 103 Riverbend Enterprises
"As for the contract for 'Stomach-strengthening and Digestion-promoting Tablets', Kitahara and Oguri can just sign it to finalize it."

Thinking about it, Xiaonan Tomomi picked up several other documents and said, "And these."

"This is the weight-bearing equipment designed for Oguruma and the others, as well as the matching parachute equipment."

"I went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and other places to do some research a few days ago. This kind of training equipment is still rare, but the competitions a few days ago and the training data you provided to me are enough to prove that these devices are very effective."

"More importantly, the report on Oguruma and her team's game is a big news story recently. I plan to take advantage of this news to speed up the registration of the trademark, arrange the production line, and promote and pre-sell in advance to seize this part of the market share."

Kitahara had no objection to this.

He also took the time to do a brief market research, especially in terms of trainers. Through Komiyama and Yusuhara, he clearly knew that Japan currently has not yet accepted full-body weight-bearing and parachute training as a regular training.

Most trainers use weight training in the form of lead horseshoes, and sprinting is done by repeated short-distance sprint training or by using ramps for strengthening.

The limitations and effectiveness of this method are obviously different from those of weight-bearing equipment and parachute sprints.

Since others haven't done it and the market is still blank, if you don't eat the cake now, you will regret it later.

"No problem, but unfortunately I can't spare much time. I can only trouble you, Xiaonan, to handle these procedures."

It has always been a rule to trust people when employing them, and not to employ people if you don't trust them. Kitahara had long ago decided to hand over all business matters to Xiaonan Tomomi, and he would just keep a close eye on them himself.

Xiaonan Tomomi did not agree immediately.

“There aren’t many issues with the process, but I’d like to try a different approach.”

She took out a few more documents that were different from the previous ones. "These are the drafts I drafted for trademark registration, patent registration, and corporate name licensing. Kitahara, take a look."

Somewhat surprised, Kitahara took the documents and looked at them carefully.

Tomomi Konan explained: "Combined with the plan you gave me, I think our future development may not be limited to Kasamatsu, but we can consider developing in Tokyo."

Kitahara paused while flipping through the documents and looked up. "Tokyo?"

"Yes, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and even the whole of Japan."

The middle-aged woman's eyes were full of confidence. "It's obvious, Kitahara, you are an extremely outstanding... no, a genius trainer."

"And you're different from other trainers. You're not going to work alone. You're going to form a team."

“In this way, I believe that more and more talents like Kyoko, Komiyama, and Yusuhara will gather around you, and there will be more and more outstanding horse girls in the team.”

"You're right. The core of an industry like ours is Umamusume. If the future of this team is bright, we can look further ahead."

"I want to reorganize a business based on our current sports store, factory, and some commercial loans, and expand out of Kasamatsu to first-tier core cities."

"I got the inspiration for this company from my cooperation with Lejing Pharmaceuticals, and I plan to name it 'Xiao Li Mao'."

Xiaonan Tomomi's words did not cause much psychological fluctuation in Kitahara.

He originally planned to expand his business beyond Kasamatsu to the whole of Japan and even the whole world.

The core of the horse racing girls industry is the horse racing girls. If they want to achieve outstanding results, they must keep up with their training and upbringing, and these are extremely energy-consuming areas.

Not to mention anything else, the running shoes that Xiao Limao and the others have worn out over the past six months weigh several hundred kilograms.

Those running shoes are not cheap, they are all special-purpose. The worst one can cost half a month's basic salary of a trainer in a place like Kitahara. If he hadn't received a lot of bonuses and allowances before, and later had industry endorsements, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford running shoes, and Oguruma and the others would have to run barefoot in the competition.

Other things are even more expensive, including nutrition beyond the three meals, medicines for conditioning, additional equipment such as weight-bearing gear, medical testing equipment… these are simply not something a single local trainer can afford.

This is just the cost of Oguruma and Little Bay, as well as the temporary stay of Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi for more than a month. If this continues, and we will definitely have to recruit more horse girls in the future, the industry will not be able to operate well, then everything we say will be in vain.

So Kitahara had already considered these things and had written them into the plan, so he was not surprised at all by Konan Tomomi's plan.

He just had some objections to the company name.

"As for Oguruma... it's not particularly appropriate. I mean just use Oguruma's name."

As he spoke, he looked to his side.

Little Chestnut Hat was eating a large piece of puff, with white cream all over his mouth.

"Huh? Bei Niu yelled?" She turned her head and said blankly.

With a light chuckle, Kitahara pulled the napkin from the table and wiped the cream off Xiaolimao, then smiled.

"Do you want more? If it's not enough, order more."

"It's almost time to eat a little. You can eat if you're not hungry on a diet. You can eat at noon." Ogurimao politely declined Kitahara's suggestion of having a snack.

With another smile, Kitahara looked at Xiaonan Tomomi.

"I now own not only the Little Chestnut Hat, but also the Glory and the Little Bay."

"After that, we entered the central government, and Tamamo Juji and Inari Ichiya joined the team."

"It would be a bit biased to name the company Oguruma."

Xiaonan Tomomi hesitated.

"It seems like this..."

She pondered, "I didn't think it through. I only thought about our side. Xiao Limao is very famous now. Using her as the name will have good benefits..."

"What suggestions do you have, Kitahara? Regarding the company name."

Kitahara thought about it.

"I agree with setting up a company, and even if the company name doesn't use the Ogurt Hat, the trademark still needs to be registered."

He thought of something, "And with the number of fans that Oguruma has now, we can apply to the URA Association for the production of various peripherals, right?"

Xiao Nan Zhi Mei's expression brightened up, "Yes, it's more than enough, I'm already doing it."

"We already have a design draft for the doll with the image of Oguruma, and we are also preparing for the production line. As long as the URA Association approves it, we can start production immediately."

Umamusume peripheral products are a very important source of income.

In another world, around the 90s alone, the Oguryo doll had a revenue of 25 billion yen, and the entire doll series had cumulative sales of 300 million, making it the best-selling peripheral product.

In the comics, Oguruma, as the character herself, earns several million yen every once in a while just from endorsement fees. Without this income, she would not have enough money to eat.

"That's good. Guanghui and Xiaohaiwan should also pay attention to apply. They will soon become famous."

After giving the instructions, seeing Xiaonan Tomomi's expression of surprise and joy, Kitahara thought for a while again.

"As for the company name..."

He suddenly had a flashback in his mind.

"Let's call it 'Riverbend'."

He looked at the little chestnut hat beside him who had a mouthful of white cream, chuckled, and pulled the tissue over again.

"Hewan Park is the most famous park in Kasamatsu. If our company becomes famous in the future, it will also be considered as Kasamatsu's fame."

As he explained this, he kept recalling the past in his mind.

"…Excuse me, Mr. Trainer. Although my mother asked me to talk to you more today, I would like to go home for dinner first if possible."

That was the first time he saw Little Chestnut running.

And that place is right on the riverside of River Bay Park.

...In the end, I was still biased.

The speed of my handwriting does not affect the plot. There are outlines and detailed outlines, but they are consumed too quickly. I finished writing the detailed outline of several thousand words yesterday, and wrote another 7 or 8 words. I’ll take a screenshot and post the Easter egg chapter.

The overall idea of ​​this book actually originated from an idea I had when I watched the original Makopo after watching the anime. It was impossible to study the timeline of the anime in detail, so I thought about compiling one myself, and the result was a novel.
Basically, apart from a dozen or so of the ancient horse racing, the rest have been sorted out since the 80s, generation by generation. The outline selects a few representative eras with strong overall stories, and tries to use the rest as background boards to compress the time to 7, 8 or 10 years.

I will see how to organize the specific information into text or pictures and send them to the book circle. Interested book friends can take a look. I hope brothers can give their opinions.

Thank you very much
By the way, please read my book, thank you very much!
