What are the options for love obstacles in the humanoid Star Platinum's mind?

"The dusk of the Kitahara family."

The sarcasm of the crowd had no effect at all.

Kitahara Iori smiled and announced, "Okay, then you should go back early tomorrow morning. You have to take the entrance exam this year, so you must prioritize your studies!"

"Listen, is this what people say?"

"Look what a shallow statement you made, Iori."

"Qin, ignore your scumbag brother. You can play here as long as you want. Oh, and where's Gengping?"

"He's behind Iori."

Before Kitahara Iori could react, his neck suddenly felt cold.

"Hey, Iori."

Kohei Imamura pinched the black-haired man's shoulders from behind, and the fake knife in his hand was against the black-haired man's vital points.

"Is this your sister?"

"No, you misunderstood, she and I..."

"My name is Kitahara Ken, and my brother is Kitahara Iori. Please give me your guidance."

"Can't you just assess the situation?"

Kitahara Iori didn't pay much attention to his sister and began to negotiate with the blond man behind him.

"Kohei, calm down..."

"Iori, this school is pretty good, right? Even if someone is buried inside, no one will find out for several years, right?"

"Digo! Digo, save me! I am your most loyal brother!"

Kujo Ditaro was eating barbecue and drinking beer. Instead of offering a helping hand, he threw a shovel out.

"Digo!!"

Just when Kitahara Iori was in danger, a loud explosion was heard from the campfire.

After being frightened, everyone instinctively moved away, and Kitahara Iori was thus freed.

Those who were preparing the bonfire made speeches.

"We swept the ground when we were arranging the wood. What was that noise just now?"

"Is there something inside the wood? That shouldn't be the case."

"Don't get close yet, there might be some dangerous stuff."

For safety reasons, everyone put out the bonfire with water from a distance without waiting for it to burn out.

Once the bonfire went out, everyone had no reason to stay any longer and drove back to town one after another.

As soon as Kujo Ditaro returned home, he received a call from Kamio's father, and the two met.

Chapter 318: The Fist Conference Begins!

Kujo Ditaro was quite surprised by the sudden visit of Kamio's father.

After all, what the two of them talked about most was basically work.

If it's about work, it can be arranged at the company. If not, why choose this time at night?

No matter how strange it is, Kujo Ditaro will not doubt others for no reason just because of his own doubts.

"President."

The meeting place was at Kujo Ditaro's house.

Kamio's father came from the Inugami Group and attaches great importance to the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, even in private, he would call Kujo Ditaro the president.

Kujo Ditaro didn't bother with this detail and said bluntly, "Uncle Kamio, what do you want from me at this hour?"

"Boss, aren't you going to participate in that?"

"Well, I'll be out in two days."

Kujo Ditaro knew that Kamio's father knew some inside information about the Kengankai, so he didn't want to hide it.

"President..." Kamio's father hesitated to speak. After a long silence, he sighed, "President, I don't know how dangerous the competition is, but please be careful. Your life is the top priority."

"Yeah." Kujo Ditaro responded with a slightly casual attitude.

"President, I used to be involved in the underworld. It's no exaggeration to say I nearly died several times. At that time, I thought it would be great if I didn't get into this industry. At least my family wouldn't have to worry about me every day. Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice back then." Kamio's father clasped his hands together and said solemnly, "President, I may have acted presumptuously. I should get out of that circle as soon as possible."

Kujo Ditaro was stunned and straightened his attitude.

"Uncle Kamio, I appreciate your kindness. I will handle this matter properly."

"President, I'm glad you listened to me. But there's one more thing. I've been in the company for a while now, and honestly, lending money isn't a long-term solution. Not only do we run the risk of debts being unrecoverable, but we also have to pay money to hire gangsters for help. Furthermore, our interest rates exceed the legal limit, so this isn't a good business."

"Hmm? You thought of that too."

"What are you saying, President?"

Kujo Ditaro's answer surprised Kamio's father.

"Yeah." Kujo Ditaro nodded. "I took over the loan company simply for convenience. I never intended it to be my foundation. If I were to switch, what industries do you think would be suitable?"

Kamio's father sat up straight and said seriously, "Well, I think publishing houses or animation companies are good. They keep up with the trend of the times. What's more, the president is a rare cartoonist. Wouldn't it be great to produce and sell our own products?"

"Well, that's a good idea, but self-production and self-sales are a bit troublesome. If I want to get back the copyright of my "JOJO", I have to pay tens of millions in liquidated damages. But it doesn't matter. Let's start with the source. Publishing houses are easy to find. There are many small and medium-sized publishing houses now. You can get one with a little money. As for animation companies, it will be more troublesome. After all, a good animation needs a good team. I happen to have a list of animation companies here. You can check it out this summer and find some animation companies with good reputations but not much fame."

Kujo Ditaro is not a miser.

If he had the channels, he would use the funds on hand to invest, even if he lost money.

After all, a smooth life is impossible.

"As for publishing houses, the Fuzugawa Bunko that's rented on the fourth floor of the company seems pretty good, President."

Kamio's father rubbed his palms and said, "I've done some preliminary research. The light novel market is basically owned by the three leading libraries. The rest of the libraries share less than 30% of the market share. Fuzugawa Library was quite prosperous a few years ago, but now, like most libraries, it's basically struggling to survive. It shouldn't be too difficult to acquire it."

Kujo Ditaro thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "Only lingering on? But didn't they just open a branch?"

Kamio's father raised his lip, "President, I heard that there's a problem at Fuzuigawa Bunko. The two editorial teams are having a falling out. To prevent their subordinates from exacerbating the conflict, their president opened a branch office. Unfortunately, the editors who were transferred to the branch office are very upset, and even the editor-in-chief resigned."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Ditaro smiled and waved his hand, "I understand what you mean. Are you planning to poach the people from this branch and set up your own publishing house?"

"The president is wise." Kamio's father nodded. "These are all veterans with plenty of work chops. Furthermore, if we really intend to acquire the Fuzugawa Bunko, the issues between these two editorial teams will likely be a ticking time bomb. So, it's better to just poach one of the editorial teams and acquire a small, established library. With proper management and sufficient funding, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a major success."

After a little thought, Kujo Ditaro decided on this plan.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. We'll start the library as soon as possible, and the animation company can be a little slower, but don't forget to do the research. Once the publishing house is doing well, it won't be too late to acquire the animation company."

"Okay, President."

Kamio's father smiled slightly and said goodbye, "President, that's about all. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"Well, let's go."

Kujo Ditaro stood up and walked him to the door, saying, "Uncle Kamio, be careful on the road."

Kamio's father responded and slowly walked away.

Kujo Ditaro returned to the living room and thought about what had just happened.

To be honest, he always felt that Kamio Kiyoko's father had some selfish motives when he asked him to acquire the library.

For example...how can I make my daughter's dream of becoming a writer have a less tortuous future?

Kujo Ditaro laughed and shook his head. "Indeed, the light novel market is so competitive right now that it's really hard for a writer without some talent to make it. But it doesn't matter. I still have over two billion on hand, so it's time to invest some of it. Plus, the Kengan Tournament is probably going to be very profitable. I'm really looking forward to it."

.......

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Kujo Ditaro was playing outside.

When he is not drinking and diving at Pab, he is teaching Kato Megumi how to work at the company.

Occasionally, if I have free time, I will have a showdown with Nayuta, like an old driver.

Of course, dates between men and women still have to happen.

Unfortunately, Kamio Kiyoko was obsessed with writing books and couldn't help herself. Kujo Ditaro was really helpless and just let her go.

At six o'clock that evening, Kujo Ditaro arrived at Kyoto Bay.

At this moment, the dock was filled with hundreds of people.

These people are all company presidents and representative fighters participating in the Kengan Tournament.

Kujo Ditaro looked around and saw many muscular men, even a few men who were bigger than him.

"Di Taro!"

Kujo Ditaro turned his head and saw a purple-haired girl flying towards him.

Chapter 319: I just call you Big Guy, so what?

The purple-haired girl who rushed over could only be Wu Garuda.

Kujo Ditaro took a step and grabbed Wu Garuda's arm, freezing him in place.

"Garuda, what are you doing here?"

"I came here to study with my grandfather."

"Really."

Kujo Ditaro looked around and saw several members of the Wu clan standing in the crowd not far away.

Among them are Wu Jialuo's grandfather, Wu Lei'an who was defeated by him, and the shameless Wu Xiaxian... and so on.

Wu Jialuo's tribesmen did not take any extreme measures because of Wu Jialuo's actions.

However, Wu Xiaxian, who had a good relationship with Kujo Ditaro, seemed to have received some instructions and came to Wu Jialuo with a smile.

"Cousin, the old man wants you to come over."

"Then I'll be leaving first, Ditaro."

After Wu Garuda left, Kujo Ditaro looked at Wu Xiaxian.

Wu Xiaxian spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that. If you want your cousin to stay, you can tell her."

The corners of Kujo Ditaro's mouth curled up, "Do you think the last incident is over?"

Wu Xiaxian took a step back and explained, "Don't be so petty. If you hadn't suddenly closed the door, I wouldn't have bumped into someone else's room. The responsibility is 50-50 between us."

"But you're making things complicated." Kujo Ditaro raised his hand and pretended to take a picture.

Wu Xiaxian pointed quickly at a luxury cruise ship and introduced it, "This is the Quanyuan, one of the largest luxury cruise ships in the world. The average cost per person on board is in the tens of millions of US dollars."

Kujo Ditaro had no intention of actually taking action, so he just continued the conversation.

"Tens of millions of dollars? There's a casino inside, right?"

"There are definitely casinos. The main reason is that the people who come this time are all big companies that can afford the 50 billion registration fee. For them, gambling is nothing. Sometimes they even gamble with company shares. I estimate that after this competition is over, several companies will go bankrupt."

Wu Xiaxian narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Di Tailang, you didn't bring anyone with you, right? It's inconvenient to place a bet, right? We get along well, let's get rich together. Tell me the truth, are you here to win the championship, or do you have other plans?"

Kujo Ditaro really needed a helper, and after hearing this, he nodded without hesitation.

"You don't need to know this. Just follow my bets. We make money together and lose money together."

"Okay, I'll go with you in this competition. Let's try to get some fat money. Then we can travel around the world, meet all the local beauties, and then tie them all up."

Kujo Ditaro cannot agree with Wu Xiaxian's vulgar dream. After all, he cannot do the eunuch's operation of just watching but not touching.

Just as the two were discussing cooperation, strong rays of light suddenly appeared in front of the crowd and shot towards the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a group of bodyguards in suits and sunglasses stood in front of the crowd one after another.

The bodyguard in charge announced loudly.

"Dear guests, you may now board the ship."

"Guests with invitations, please board the Kengan. Those without invitations, please go this way."
