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

As she learned that the number of people in the agency was growing, she felt a complex mix of emotions. In the beginning, the manager was only training one idol, and at that time, she was very happy.

If only that could last forever.

Just as she only wants to sing her songs for one person, she only wants to broadcast them to one person and be the idol of only one person; that is enough.

But if Imaizumi's dream is to establish an agency, she must also protect that dream and become a shining star in Imaizumi's hands and on the internet.

"...I will do it sooner or later, President."

Then, let her brilliance overwhelm the shop manager, forcing him to listen to some of her words due to her popularity...? Nakamachi Arale quickly dismissed the idea; she wasn't that kind of bad girl.

If it could really be that way, she would have a serious talk with the store manager.

Main text: Chapter 47, Chapter 45: The Tsutomu Poetry Ship: Let me make it up to you one last time.

She becomes the firm's irreplaceable ace, forcing Imaizumi to rely on her, and then uses that to blackmail him, using her beastly nature to make Imaizumi depend on her forever...

No, no, that's not the case.

Compared to needing anyone else, Ima Teruyuki needed her more, and that was enough. Even in her own fantasies, Nakamachi Arale didn't dare to ask for more.

Her wish burned silently, like a candle flame.

With these thoughts in mind, Nakamachi Arale tidied up briefly and lay down on the bed that Imaizumi had once used. Although he had taken the time to change all his belongings, bedding, and blankets after hearing that she was going to stay at the coffee shop for a short time, Nakamachi Arale could still imagine him lost in thought under the moonlight.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, as if it could carry the girl's innocent longing to distant places.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Jin Zhaozhi was indeed not asleep.

"The Toyokawa Group has no shame whatsoever!"

He looked at his money-losing system panel. Even though Bilibili had transferred the revenue from Ps*Ple and the others' live streams last month, it was still a drop in the bucket. The revenue was simply not enough to fill the hole in Toyokawa Real Estate's coffers.

The firm was already suffering heavy losses. After he took over, it was already quite an achievement that the firm was self-sufficient within a month, and now it even has revenue to support further development, which has exceeded his expectations.

The first generation of his artists has been fully formed, and Momoka Kawahara said that they are cultivating team spirit and getting on the right track; the second generation has also found three core members, only lacking a vocalist and a bassist.

On the contrary, Toyokawa Real Estate has no shame whatsoever.

It's hard to imagine that after the former president was defrauded of 168 billion yen and resigned, the stock price of Toyokawa Realty, one of the top real estate companies in Tokyo, plummeted by more than 90% in a short period of time, and the company announced preparations for delisting.

Toyon Properties has become a complete junk stock, and other real estate companies held by the Toyon conglomerate are still in a state of half-dead, with only retail investors suffering losses.

Furthermore, these are all simplified explanations summarized by Jin Zhaozhi. In reality, Toyokawa Real Estate used more complex methods when transferring assets, skillfully avoiding legal risks.

This failed investment in Sishui will surely be put to good use in the next one.

He drifted off to sleep with expectations for Shoko Toyokawa and fantasies of making a fortune in Tokyo and on Bilibili with Toyokawa's brilliant veMjic band.

A few days later, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Rokujin Teruyuki, dressed in a not-too-formal suit, arrived at RiNG, a large LiveHose still under construction in Ikebukuro, which is also CiRCLE's second location.

4. This place is huge, with several studios, as well as snack shops, music stores, and other band-related businesses. It can be described as a small commercial center. The shop manager here is not Dozuki Shisen, but she has a deep relationship with him. Since she couldn't avoid it, Jin Zhaozhi took the initiative to come over.

The agency has entered a period of steady development and no longer needs new sensational stories, so he no longer needs to keep an eye on his artists or impart his incantations.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Zhaozhi began his new micro-management. One or two failures due to luck are not enough to prove anything; the success of the firm is what truly matters.

He went inside RiNG.

The white-haired, wildcat-like girl, Kaname Rakuna, was rapidly playing an impromptu exercise on stage, the notes leaping incredibly fast. Tsuzuki Shisen leaned against the bar, quietly watching her.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Jin Zhaozhi. She smiled like a mischievous old woman: "Oh my, isn't this Manager Jin? Where have you been making your fortune lately? Did you do your best with the invitation I sent you, old lady?"

"I'm doing well lately."

Jin Zhao wanted to sneer, but couldn't.

He also needs to rely on the powerful influence of Tsuzuki Shisen to secure a spot for RiNG's coffee shop.

Avoid the sharp edge and be tolerant for the time being.

Moreover, he wasn't entirely without options when it came to this mischievous old woman; he could start by getting close to her granddaughter, Lena. It's just that little Lena's behavior was always a mystery; she only behaved well when eating matcha parfaits.

"These are prepared for you."

Shisen Tsuzuki pointed to the bar counter. "I've already decorated everything for you, taking into account the style of your shop. You can set the price as you see fit. That way, you can't say that I caused your coffee shop to close down, right?"

“Indeed.” Jin Zhaozhi nodded slowly.

Putting aside the invitation from Du Qizhu Shichuan to join Fengchuan Real Estate, her move was indeed brilliant.

The most important thing wasn't the renovation cost, but getting a spot in RiNG. Musical instrument and light food vendors were scrambling to get in, but he was directly chosen.

The poem about the Tsuzuki Ship says:

“There’s a student we know fairly well who works part-time, named Shiina Tatsuki. She’ll be working at your shop from now on. As for the shop manager, you can have Rinrinko do it, or you can make the arrangements yourself.”

"I understand. I'll leave it to Rinrinko to manage."

"Okay. Take it, sign it, make a copy, and mail it to me."

Du Zhu Shichuan casually tossed a stack of contracts to Jin Zhaozhi, clearly uninterested in these paltry sums, and instead asked about something more interesting, "Does your firm have a new band?"

"The five of them have been training for several days."

"Great. RiNG's studio is already renovated. When can we bring her over to see it? I'm very interested in that blonde girl next to you; she's worth nurturing..."

Tsuzuki Shisen is still viewing the first generation of members through the lens of a traditional band.

After Jin Zhaozhi explained the virtual streamer to her for a while, she seemed a little annoyed that she wasn't focusing on music, but she didn't say much, only reminding her, "Don't hold that blonde lead singer back."

“I will. She is the absolute core I have trained.”

"Hmm. Also, just out of curiosity, who impressed you at that opening ceremony and made you invest? I've been good to you, haven't I? That ceremony was really hard to get into."

"I filed a lawsuit against Toyokawa Real Estate."

“Toyokawa Properties? I remember that wasn’t…” Tsuzuki Shisen’s voice abruptly stopped.

She met the eyes of Imaizumi, whose arms were crossed and whose expression was calm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I remember, Toyokawa real estate has depreciated by 90%. Young man, how much did you buy before?"

"4800."

The poetic boat of Duzhu heard this number and was filled with disappointment and frustration:

"...How foolish! You've already decided to pursue a career in music, why don't you go and talk to the talent agency that the Toyokawa family owns? Did I give you the invitation to go to Toyokawa Realty?"

She paced back and forth in place.

Some felt sorry for Jin Zhaozhi, while others felt a little pity for him.

First, she caused him to lose money on his coffee shop because she wanted Lena to close down, and then he was blinded by her after he sent him to the opening ceremony of Toyokawa Real Estate in the commercial building. It seems that he has harmed her a lot.

If it were someone else, they might laugh and say, "What does it have to do with me if I lose money?" But in Tsuzuki Shisen's eyes, I am already a promising newcomer in the music industry. Just the way he treats his own artists is enough for her to secretly support him.

One Middle School Group: Pursue Four￣∽Hey Three ○～彡〔Five times of helping each other is not enough, then, let's do it again?

After thinking for a moment, Tsuzuki Shisen finally spoke:

"Alright, after this RiNG incident, we should be even, but since Lena has eaten quite a few snacks here, I'll give you one last thing for Lena's sake. This is a one-time exception."

"I know a concert hall in Kansai that frequently hosts performances. The owner is going to the United States and now wants to sell it at a low price, along with the license to hold performances in public places..."

Main text: Chapter 48 (Previous Chapter 46) Ms. Tsuzuki is a kind person.

You're here again?

You've been here twice already, are you coming again?

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Jin Zhaozhi had a rather indescribable feeling when he heard about the business that Tsuzuki Shisen had arranged for him. It wasn't exactly disgust or fear, just a very subtle feeling.

That feeling of "I know you're right, but you're the wrong person."

But an old man like Tsuzuki Shifune, with his personality, cannot even tolerate such subtlety.

"What's that expression of yours?"

With one hand on her hip, her tone sounding extremely displeased, she said, "You can go and find out who Du Zhushichuan is! Would I, who personally arranged this deal, let you lose money?"

"Hard to say," Jin Zhaozhi silently replied in his heart.

Tsuzuki Shisen spoke in her characteristically serious tone:

"Your band needs to perform, right? Other student bands can just mess around and have fun, but do you want your artists to be confined to small venues? Many performance venues have an average profit margin of less than 10%, so they ask bands for a share of the ticket sales, you know that, right?"

“There are performance venues for sale at low prices now. All the initial investment has been spent. They are in high demand in this era. I was originally planning to run them myself!”

“Hmm…” Jin Zhaozhi pondered.

To be fair, what Du Zhushi said is indeed correct.

While Bilibili's Xiaomi platform is known for its user base, the Japanese domestic market cannot be ignored.

If virtual YouTubers are truly confined to a small motion capture room and behind a computer screen, not to mention the YouTubers themselves, their artists would also feel regretful.

Therefore, a real concert tour is bound to happen sooner or later.

He originally planned to hand over the concert to other venues, and as Tsuzuki Shifune said, renting venues for band performances is very expensive. In addition to the high rent, they also have to pay a share of the ticket revenue.

If you have your own performance venue, and you buy it directly, then that's a different story.

They don't have to pay a share of the ticket revenue; they can just use the venue whenever their artists want to hold a concert. In turn, the venue can make money from the era of the girl group Big Girls Band.

A stable 10% return every year is very tempting.

It can be used as a guaranteed minimum income for each cycle.

He plans to focus on developing the second generation of veMjic, and immediately begin preparing for a nationwide tour after their official debut. Having a venue means earning extra money, so it's definitely a worthwhile investment.

Could it be that even the most ruthless poets have a saying that things don't happen more than three times? Is this time really going to let him make a profit?

"Have you figured it out yet?" Tsuzuki Shisen asked.

Jin Zhaozhi seemed to have reconciled with her: "Thank you for your kindness, I understand. The performance venue is indeed very important to my business strategy, but I don't have enough capital right now..."

"Two billion."

She held out a finger.

"If you can come up with 100 million within a year, this 5,000-seat venue can be handed over to you. With your level of confidence, this shouldn't be much for you, right? Consider it an investment in you."

"If you can't do it, haha, then don't even think about investing anymore, Boss Jin. Just go back to playing in a band. If you can't even make money in a band, you can come to RiNG to clean dishes, and the old lady will give you the highest price."

Although her words may be harsh, she truly gives away good things when she has them.

A 5,000-seat stadium, acquired ready-made, with its expensive sound system and other equipment, which Tsuzuki Shisen wouldn't touch given his personality, makes the price of 100 million yen truly generous.

Moreover, this also essentially binds Teruyuki Ima and his agency to the music industry. Having already bought the venue, surely there must be some bigger ambitions? For Shifune Tsuzuki, finding a home for her granddaughter and nurturing promising young musicians are among her few interests.

Jin Zhao nodded solemnly:

"I understand, please reserve it for me."

He set himself a small goal: to acquire all the performance venues within six months.

Compared to the Momiji Cafe next to SPCE, the possibility of loss for this performance venue is already at its lowest, thanks to the Toyokawa Real Estate purchase. It's safe to say that once you buy it, you can just wait to make a profit. There was neither mysterious internal strife nor mysterious closure; instead, he was seated in a position similar to that of Tsuzuki Shisen and Toyokawa Seikaku.

As for the possibility of losses for performance venues.

Either the tickets simply don't sell, and they have to pay for the concert themselves.

Either an unforeseen accident occurred before the performance that was difficult to resolve, forcing ticket refunds, wasting all the promotional costs, and requiring additional money to make up for it.

In that case, the steady income earned little by little will be lost all at once, and all the hard work will be in vain.

Overall, Jin Zhaozhi felt that this deal was still worth doing.

Ms. Tsuzuki Shifune is indeed a kind and honest person.

......

Toshima Ward, the office's rehearsal room.

Momoka Kawara twirled her pen, placed the pencil face down on the table, blew away the pencil shavings from the draft sheet music, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "This way, I can satisfy both myself and President Ima at the same time."

"Seriously, I don't actually sing such heartwarming songs. Is the club president using me as a tool to fill in the personality gaps in these girls...?"

She finally found the song that belonged to Consort Yang.

This is a gentle and lyrical song. "Shiori" means sticky note. During a break from the first-generation members' training camp the day before yesterday, Momoka Kawaharaki, who was unsure about the group's spirit, wandered around the rehearsal room, trying to find the inspiration that had been dissolved by alcohol. She accidentally discovered a sticky note with lyrics written on it by Akari Takamatsu.

What exactly are the ordinary and the taken-for-granted...? Facing the unease that rises and falls with each breath, I can only stand there, helplessly at its mercy, clumsy in my actions, always futile.

[To avoid getting hurt, I run away / Seeking solace by going back and forth between reality and my notes / Ah / What a miserable world this is...]
