Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

It's very straightforward and simple, without any fancy stuff or eye-catching words.

They demonstrated unparalleled confidence in their own abilities.

And the external reaction was exactly as Shin-cho-sha had anticipated.

The entire literary world was shaken up.

More than a year later, Makoto Kitahara, who is known as the "uncrowned king", has released a new book.

Such a major event naturally attracts a great deal of attention.

Some people hope that Kitahara Makoto can continue to succeed and continue to write his own glorious chapter; these are his fans and book lovers.

Some people also hope that he will fail, fall from grace, and share his profits. These are mostly his peers, or those from the Shincho-sha (a publishing house)...

Kitahara Shin didn't pay attention to these things.

I've been through this kind of new book launch far too many times.

He had long since become numb.

Besides, there were more important things that required his attention...

……

August has arrived.

After the first season of "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" ended, NicoNico Animation followed up with another masterpiece from Beidouxing Animation, "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K."

This anime did not fully replicate the popularity of "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid".

However, thanks to its excellent quality and exquisite storyline, it also made it into the top three most popular anime of the month.

They maintained the reputation of Beidouxing Animation.

Eriri is the director of this anime.

Riding on the popularity of this anime, and the popularity of the previous "Spy Kids" series.

His reputation grew louder and louder, and he gradually earned the title of a renowned animation director, finally establishing his own brand in the animation industry.

NicoNico Animation leverages the high-quality content produced by Beidouxing Animation and Beidouxing Films.

They firmly hold the top spot among Japanese video websites.

It occupies more than 95% of the market, which can be said to be a monopoly of the entire market.

Its subsidiaries are also doing very well.

Beidouxing Communications Company possesses two powerful tools: NN Chat and NN Weibo.

It has long since escaped the situation of losses.

Each quarter's profit is at least $50 million.

Beidouxing Games Company, with the support of its own brother's traffic and in cooperation with Beidouxing Animation, develops online games based on popular anime.

The speed at which they made money far surpassed that of their sister companies.

It can be said to be the most profitable company under Kitahara Makoto's management, even surpassing Hokutosei Animation.

Then there's NicoNico department store.

The first store has already started to make a profit.

This helped them escape the awkward situation of having nothing to do.

With the situation looking very promising, shareholders couldn't help but urge Kitahara Makoto to take the company public.

After all, NicoNico is a company with such a strong growth momentum.

Anyone with eyes can see that this company can make a lot of money.

There's no shortage of buyers for stocks.

If we don't go public now and make a fortune, what are we waiting for?

Kitahara Makoto already had plans to go public.

So, faced with pressure from several partners...

He then took the opportunity to formally propose the listing plan.

Soon, with the help of several partners,

NicoNico has officially begun its IPO process.

……

Going public is a very complicated and troublesome process.

It can take anywhere from six months to two or three years.

Because there are many procedures involved, the company needs to establish an internal listing task force and coordinate with external institutions.

Selecting intermediary agencies includes: securities firms, accountants, lawyers, appraisers, and professional consultants...

These intermediary agencies provide services to companies ranging from preliminary preparation, equity structure design, introduction of strategic investors, equity incentives, communication with relevant authorities, and coordination among various intermediary agencies...

With permission from local regulators...

And so on.

Fortunately, the partners that Kitahara Makoto brought in were all giants in the financial world.

They are already very experienced in going public.

In addition, NicoNico has excellent development prospects and is profitable every year, with no losses whatsoever.

With such a high-quality company going public, there should be virtually no problems.

Under these circumstances, NicoNico's IPO process went very smoothly.

……

After the company prepares to go public.

Kitahara Shin, along with several other shareholders, also contributed a portion of their shares.

The reward was given to Yuta Kawamoto and other senior executives and long-term employees who had joined from the beginning.

·····Requesting flowers··········

Not much; even General Manager Yuta Kawamoto only received 0.5%.

However, given NicoNico's current valuation of over ten billion US dollars...

That 0.5% is worth 70 million US dollars.

Equivalent to seven billion yen.

With such a large fortune, even if Yuta Kawamoto retires now, he can live a comfortable life.

Therefore, they were all very satisfied and extremely grateful to Kitahara.

……

September has arrived.

NicoNico's IPO process is still ongoing.

It will take several more months before it is officially listed.

This month, the animated film "Weathering With You," co-produced by Beidouxing Animation, Toei Animation, and Sony, and directed by Makoto Shinkai, was released.

.............

As soon as the film was released, it immediately topped the monthly box office charts.

It grossed over 4 billion yen in just eleven days after its release.

The other films released at the same time were trembling with fear.

Because "Weathering With You" directly captured 90% of the market share.

They were left with only a few scraps.

No wonder they're not feeling good.

And the huge success of "Weathering With You".

This also brought Makoto Shinkai's fame back to the forefront.

Although "Your Name" was a huge hit back then.

But this only serves as a preliminary demonstration of his abilities.

He hasn't yet become a truly great director in people's eyes.

But this time it was different.

One success could be attributed to luck.

Two successes can only prove that this person is truly capable.

And both times they were able to produce such a popular and phenomenal original animated film.

Importantly, it's an original animated film!

Makoto Shinkai's abilities are beyond question.

Naturally, he also became a true master of animated films and a top-notch animated film director.

It quickly gained fame, causing a huge stir in the entire animation industry.

And the already booming Beidouxing Animation.

Now they have a top-notch animation director at their disposal.

This made countless peers green with envy.

.......................................

There's just too much bad stuff online. I got blinded and wasted my energy. Ugh... so tacky.

Chapter 110: Kitahara Seiyoshi, Obama

The University of Tokyo Hospital.

One of the top-ranked hospitals in Japan.

In the corridor, Kato Megumi's parents, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and several other girls waited anxiously.

At this moment, Kitahara Shin arrived with several people, looking travel-worn.

He was at the company just now, discussing various matters related to the company's IPO with his senior executives.

Suddenly, I received a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha, saying that Kato Megumi's water had broken.

Fortunately, this period was Kato Megumi's due date, and her family had already made preparations and immediately took her to the hospital.

A few hours later.

A nurse came out carrying a baby boy.

"President Kitahara, congratulations, it's a boy."

"Thank you."

Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up with joy.

After looking at the child, she handed the child to Kato's mother, who was standing next to her.

His secretary then started giving red envelopes (cash gifts) to the doctors and nurses.

Although these people signed various confidentiality agreements from the beginning, Kitahara Makoto even booked the entire floor.

However, it would be unreasonable not to give a red envelope for such a great occasion as "193," as it would make him, such a big boss, seem stingy.

The doctors and nurses were overjoyed as they touched the incredibly thick red envelopes containing at least hundreds of thousands of yen.

Kitahara Makoto strode into the room and immediately saw the beautiful woman lying weakly on the bed.

He sat down beside the bed and gently took Kato Megumi's slightly cold little hand in his.

"Thank you, darling, you've worked so hard."

Those few simple words were like a warm current flowing into Kato Megumi's tired body.
