Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

Summary:

[Boys' Love/GBC] [Male Protagonist Harem]

Jin Zhaozhi transmigrated with a money-losing system.

As a time traveler, he was well aware of the money-losing system's tricks. No matter how outrageous his investments were, he would always end up making money in unexpected ways, or failing and being ridiculed by the system.

What if he did the opposite, investing only in popular projects, turning the tide and making money proactively?

"Girl bands should go all in on LiveHose during their prime. Invest in the area surrounding this SPCE LiveHose!"

"Toyokawa Properties announces development of a villa area around the port area? No wonder it's the confidence of an old-generation chaebol. Bands can't make as much money as real estate. I'm going all in on Toyokawa Properties stock!"

"veMjic is a truly ingenious band project, and their lineup is top-notch. A nationwide tour? We'll take out a loan and go all in! We'll book every single Mjic band concert in the Kansai region!"

In the end, Jin Zhaozhi watched as he and the Toyokawa Group accumulated debts, then became rich overnight, then accumulated debts again, and then became rich overnight once more... He and the money-losing system fell into deep thought.

The money-losing system: "No, you're really losing money?"

Jin Zhaozhi: "Never mind that. The key thing now is that I suspect the Toyokawa family also has a money-losing system."

Main text: Chapter 1 Chapter 1 We were tricked by the SPCE boss!

Afternoon in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the white and brown-toned coffee shop, and you could almost smell the sweet, cloying aroma of the heavily sweetened matcha parfait. The fairly spacious shop was empty, yet there were only three people inside.

An elderly woman with white hair, a girl with white hair, and Jin Zhaozhi, the shop manager.

The girl pulled the parfait over and started eating it without a care in the world.

At this moment, Jin Zhaozhi had no mind to pay attention to her. Instead, he nervously rubbed his thumb and forefinger, as if that would help him relax. But the more he did this, the more nervous he became in front of the white-haired old lady.

He opened his mouth, then realized he was hoarse. He coughed before finally speaking, "Um, Ms. Tsuzuki, let me confirm. You just said that SPCE is closing down? Sometime this month?"

“That’s right.” Tsuzuki Shisen nodded slightly.

"Why? SPCE currently has a decent foot traffic, even in the highly competitive Toshima Ward..."

"The reason? Because of her."

Tsuzuki Shisen patted the white-haired girl on the shoulder, a slight smile curving her lips:

"She said she wanted to play guitar at SPCE for the rest of her life, hahaha, I don't want the small SPCE to carry the burden of words like 'for life'. Her music has just begun, her destiny is not here."

"So that's how it is... What a pity, SPCE holds so many memories, what a shame."

The smile in the photo is still there, but it is clearly somewhat forced.

After chatting for a few minutes, Du Zhushichuan left with the white-haired girl.

They had been gone for a long time, and Jin Zhaozhi remained motionless in the same position until she slumped into the chair, completely drained of strength and energy. Only a few words echoed in her mind: I've been set up.

Let me introduce myself first.

—His name is Jin Zhaozhi, a time traveler who arrived in Tokyo, Japan, in another world the moment he opened and closed his eyes.

When I transmigrated, I also brought with me a system that caused me to lose money.

The "Losing Money System" needs no introduction. As the name suggests, the system provides a sum of money each cycle, which you must lose within that cycle. Based on the amount lost, you receive multiple times the amount returned by the system.

It sounds wonderful, but it's not that simple in reality.

Other transmigrators with money-losing systems either try every means to choose outrageous plans and eventually make money in even more outrageous ways; or they actively spend money to exploit the money-losing system and eventually make money.

No matter how hard I try, I'll always end up making money in unexpected ways, sometimes with tears in my eyes, and failing and losing money. On one hand, the company's revenue is in the millions, while on the other hand, I can only earn a meager salary of a few thousand yuan and have to borrow money to eat.

Therefore, Jin Zhaozhi changed his approach.

Transmigration is an invincible path, why would he need a system bone? He only needs to use the rich experience brought by the transmigrator to make money, there is no need to shamefully lose money to make money, how could a transmigrator have a headache about money?

With this confidence, he began his micro-management.

After receiving the initial funding for the system last month, he immediately followed up on the era of the Big Girls Band.

He visited a LiveHose called SPCE in Toshima Ward, which was once one of the holy sites and birthplaces of the era of big girl bands, sparking a considerable craze for high school girl bands.

As live houses sprang up in core Tokyo areas like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Shimokitazawa, SPCE, being relatively far away, lost its popularity and gradually became a place for new bands to debut and for nostalgic visits.

However, for Imaizumi, who only had 3000 million yen in system funds, this place was just right for him.

He decisively spent 2600 million to take over a coffee shop in the vicinity, and also spent nearly 400 million to hire a top-tier architect to design and decorate it in a sophisticated, casual, dopamine-infused modern style to appeal to students and band girls.

Follow the trend and proactively become a supporting facility in the surrounding area. Even if you don't make a large profit, you won't lose much either, right?

And today, a month later, the result is—

The owner of SPCE closed his shop because his granddaughter wanted to play guitar for the rest of her life.

"what about me?"

When Jin Zhaozhi recalls that stern-faced female boss, he feels dizzy.

With LiveHose closing down, foot traffic has decreased significantly, naturally putting surrounding shops in a difficult situation.

He didn't even dare to look at how much his coffee shop was worth now.

As if in response to his disheveled state, fluorescent blue text appeared before his eyes, the numbers scrolling, finally settling on a number he couldn't accept:

[Period ended, settlement in progress...]

[Host: Imataru]

[Loss for this period: 456 million yen, which has been converted into personal funds and replenished in the system.]

Every 1 yen profit converts to 1 yen of personal funds (minimum guarantee), and every 1 yen loss converts to 10 yen of personal funds (conversion factor increases with upgrades). Assets newly purchased in each cycle cannot be sold until the next cycle.

[Assets under my name: Red Leaf Coffee Shop (currently operating at a significant loss)]

System funds: 3010 million yen

Personal funds: 4560 million yen

Next settlement date: 59 days from now

With SPCE's old 8th floor manager, Tsuzuki Shisen, announcing the closure of its 2th branch, the system has determined that the coffee shop's value is now less than 500 million. ↓

It may seem like the price drop isn't that big, but in reality, after two months, no one will be willing to take over the coffee shop.

Looking at the cold, soaring numbers in his "Personal Funds" section, Jin Zhaozhi silently looked up in awe.

The young man's heartwarming first entrepreneurial venture turned into a money-losing system and cold, hard cash.

If someone is looking to lose money, they'll be overjoyed.

But the current situation is not as it seems.

He had carefully considered the matter, meticulously calculated the costs, and even gone through fierce competition to secure the business plan. He took it very seriously, yet the outcome was unexpected. No one knows the immense damage this was to an ambitious young man determined not to earn a single penny by losing money!

"No, I can't let myself get discouraged."

Jin Zhaozhi took a deep breath and calmed down.

It's just a young person's first entrepreneurial failure; it doesn't mean anything. Not all business owners would close their shops on a whim like this old lady. He hasn't lost yet.

Even without SPCE, he still has the whole of Tokyo.

There are also 40 million yuan in funds lying in the system's accounts, which can still make a lot of money in the future.

Jin Zhaozhi sighed and got up to tidy up the three empty cups on the table.

When he picked up the printed porcelain plate that Ms. Shifune Tsuzuki had once used, he noticed something underneath it. One was a handwritten note bearing Shifune Tsuzuki's name, and the other was an invitation. (Nine)

"An invitation to a banquet at the Toyokawa Group's port building?"

He glanced at the invitation, which prominently displayed the Toyokawa TGW Group logo. Eight

I've heard of this name before. It seems to be a family with a very unique way of inheritance, barely able to live up to the name of a chaebol in today's highly developed internet age.

He turned the letter over and saw that it was clearly written by Ms. Shifune Tsuzuki:

"I'm sorry, it seems my stubbornness has caused trouble for the shop manager."

"As compensation, this anonymous invitation from Toyokawa Real Estate is for the store manager. I hope to make new friends at the banquet. I have some influence in the music industry, and perhaps I can act as an intermediary between you and your new business partners."

Shifune Tsuzuki knew that the coffee shop had suffered losses due to the closure of SPCE. (Suzu)

Even though it was entirely her own choice and she had no responsibility to the surrounding shops, she still compensated Imaizumi, who had recently come to the SPCE area, with an invitation from the Toyokawa family.

However, the connections within the Toyokawa zaibatsu's high-level circles are invaluable to businesspeople seeking advancement. Especially since the Toyokawa family heir was present at the banquet! *Whoosh*

"I told you, there are still ways to make money. As long as I follow the Toyokawa family's investment strategy and strive to be their loyal business associate, how could I not make money?"

The instantaneous change in expression in the photo, from complaint to surprise.

"Ms. Tsuzuki Shifune, this has given me a chance to make money while lying down!"

Main text: Chapter 2, First Employee, Triangle Chuhua?

After tidying up the coffee shop, Imaizumi hung up a "Closed" sign, returned to the staff break room, and started flipping through Tokyo's financial news weekly.

He hadn't flipped through a few pages when he found content related to the Toyokawa family:

"Toyokawa Properties has withdrawn 168 billion yuan from banks and TGW Group to purchase and develop a plot of land in the port area? Right, when it comes to making money, how could I have overlooked real estate!"

"As expected of the older generation of zaibatsu, they possess a prudent and confident approach. How could a girl band possibly make money as fast as real estate? The Toyokawa zaibatsu is right; I'm determined to make this money with them!"

Now, Zhao puts down the newspaper, full of confidence.

The invitation was for a commercial building in central Tokyo, in seven days. The building was invested and developed by Toyokawa Realty, and the invitation extended to the public for its opening ceremony.

It's rumored that the president of Toyokawa Real Estate is the heir to the Toyokawa zaibatsu (financial conglomerate). If he's truly that powerful, he could simply buy shares in Toyokawa Real Estate and sit back and rake in the profits. Sure enough, an old zaibatsu is an old zaibatsu; he's completely unaffected by the so-called "big girl band era" and is content to focus on real estate.

Unfortunately, the system wasn't so kind and banned leveraged stock trading. Without leverage, he could only make a small profit on stocks, and sooner or later he would have to go back to riding the coattails of the girl group's popularity.

Besides, if he wants to leverage the connections within the music industry, he needs to be a member of that industry, right?

Jin Zhaozhi plans to let the coffee shop rot in his hands, and then acquire a qualified artist agency or something similar, thereby entering the music industry.

As I pondered my future plans, a voice came from outside the door.

"Boss, why is there a 'Closed' sign outside? Are you on holiday today?" A blonde girl pushed open the door to the break room, revealing a curious face.

Her blonde hair was adorned with many blue and pink hair accessories, which shimmered in the sunlight, making her appear translucent. Her moist pink eyes revealed the naivety and ignorance unique to students.

She is a part-time worker hired by Jin Zhaozhi, named Sanjiao Chuhua.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to notify you."

Jin Zhaozhi apologized to his female coworker.

"There weren't many customers today, so I'm planning to take a break. Also, it seems that the SPCE store next door is planning to close down. It will be the norm for them to be closed in the future, and they might even close down together."

"Closed down? I even went to see their live show, how could it be?"

She was somewhat surprised, then looked at Jin Zhaozhi and said in a low voice, not being very emotionally intelligent, "In that case, wouldn't the newly renovated coffee shop be...?"

This child has been able to speak since he was little.

Looking at her, Jin Zhaozhi, whose coffee shop business had failed, had a different idea.

Chu Hua's voice is very unique and pleasant to the ear; even her casual conversation sounds like she's being affectionate. Simply put, her voice has the qualities of a virtual YouTuber and is also very suitable for singing.

In Jin Zhao's heart, she is very suitable /? [;澌∨≌咝?伍路4肿: the first artist to develop into her own agency.

"Never mind this coffee shop for now. Chuhua, sit down first."

"okay."

The girl obediently sat down opposite him and accepted the cup of extremely sweet coffee he offered. After downing it in one gulp, she instantly melted into the recliner, looking like a blissfully happy cat.

It's clear that she's been fed like this since she was a child.

Like Ms. Shifune Tsuzuki, Hatsuka Mikami has a cat-like temperament, but while the white-haired girl is a wild cat, Hatsuka is more like a gentle house cat.

Jin Zhaozhi took advantage of her lowered head to examine her face closely.

Mitsuba Hatsuka has excellent physical attributes and a suitable temperament, and she's also a natural-born workhorse. Without a doubt, she's the SSR-level card that Ima Teruyuki drew from the Girls Band.

Just this appearance alone should be worth the attention of Win-Wing Studio, a subsidiary of the Toyokawa Group, right?

He tentatively asked, "Did Sanjiao Chuhua ever form a band at school?"
