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

Arale Nakamachi somehow persuaded her mother to allow Teruyuki Ima to become her guardian, and even used an irresistible reason to achieve the guardianship cohabitation agreement.

She seemed afraid that Jin Zhao would refuse, and even emphasized that she would cook from now on.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was involved in some kind of shady business.

For an idol to ask to live with the president is simply ridiculous. It shows a complete lack of self-awareness as an idol. Maruyama Aya, the favorite of the five presidents of the current company, is much more obedient.

Cai Cai always spoke softly and gently to him about the live stream content, and often sent him homemade desserts and snacks, showing her love and respect for her boss. This is the right attitude to have towards your boss.

She's been asking me out to dinner lately, so I'm thinking of agreeing to chat with her idol.

With the thought that "Aya is still the best, she's so well-behaved and sensible," Ima Teruyuki went to Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy to continue the enrollment procedures for Nakamachi Arale.

By the time the formalities were completed, it was already noon.

Momiji Cafe, Toshima Ward.

"Manager, I'm going to rehearse now~"

Arale Nakamachi placed a cup of black tea in front of Imaizumi and waved to him.

Having spent the last two months in the shop surrounded by raw materials, the blonde girl exuded a sweet, cloying fragrance, which blended with her usual fresh citrus perfume, creating a rich and complex scent.

"Remember to read some books. Ps*Ple and the others are all college students now. Nina also needs to take the college entrance exam. Don't let me become my first artist and end up not attending school."

"hey-hey."

She glanced at Jin Zhaozhi a few more times, as if fantasizing about living together tonight, and chuckled.

They completely disregarded their warnings about not going to school.

The blonde girl's figure gracefully disappeared.

At the familiar Red Leaf Coffee Shop, in the familiar spot, Jin Zhaozhi took a sip of black tea, quietly waiting for that moment to arrive. Then, fluorescent pale blue text lit up before his eyes once more.

[Period ended, settlement in progress...]

His expression was calm, like an ancient gentleman calmly heading to his execution.

Who would have thought that just two months ago, I was still investing in Fengchuan Real Estate with great enthusiasm?

It’s so unpredictable.

Even after examining market sentiment, Toyokawa Properties' business plan, and investment opportunities, and believing that this investment would inevitably bring some benefits from Toyokawa's success, unexpected events can still occur.

He closed his eyes, as if the numbers before him would cease to exist. He hadn't actually invested in Toyokawa Realty; he'd made tens of millions through his firm... Unfortunately, the heartbreaking numbers still appeared coldly.

[Host: Imataru]

[Loss for this period: 2029 million yen, which has been converted into personal funds and replenished in the system.]

[Due to two consecutive successful losses, the system's capital limit has been increased, and the individual's loss ratio has been reduced (the system's loss ratio remains unchanged). Please keep up the good work!]

[Assets under his name: Red Leaf Coffee Shop RiNG branch (under preparation), ExElio Studio (currently generating small profits, widely viewed favorably by the market)]

[Cessated current assets: Coffee shop (closed), Toyokawa Real Estate stock (delisted)]

[System Funds: 6000 million yen]

Personal funds: 10145 million yen

b [Next settlement date: 119 days later]

Two consecutive cycles of losses with success? Please keep trying!

Such words came into view in Jin Zhao's eyes.

His hands trembled; his heart ached? He already knew this outcome; it wasn't surprising anymore, just a slight regret. His warm first stock investment as a young man had turned into a cold, hard 100 million in his account.

"Sigh, the Toyokawa zaibatsu." He sighed softly.

He didn't have any attachment to not using the money given by the system. After a few seconds of annoyance, Jin Zhaozhi began to plan how to spend the money the system had given him.

When W has money, of course he'll spend it on his own artists first.

There's no rush to find Tsuzuki Shisen to take over the venue at a super low price with this 100 million. The agency hasn't developed to the point where the first and second generation members need a venue with 5,000 people for performances yet, so it can be spent on other things first.

Jin Zhaozhi fell into deep thought.

"We could first create 3D models of the first generation of trainees, then contact an animation company to adapt the MyGO radio drama into an anime, directly capitalizing on Bilibili's MyGO popularity..."

"Moreover, with these funds, we can sign a wider range of technically skilled support musicians. We need to find a few bassists with good professional ethics, who won't leak secrets, and who are technically proficient to reserve for Toyokawa Shoko to choose from. We'll go and take a look after RiNG is built."

"There are quite a few bands in the industry who want to use an agency as an intermediary and management company to help them enter the Bilibili market. This is something that can be done; it's always good to get to know more bands..."

The agency's internal development involves two aspects: one is to have both the first and second generation members debut as virtual streamers within this period, with the first generation members forming a band in the form of virtual avatars; the other is to promote the entry of virtual streamers into Bilibili, which requires preparing a regular program that can break through to a wider audience.

Learning from Hololive's experience, Minecraft is quite good, and there's also the future collaboration with Goose and Duck, so you can be among the first to capitalize on the Goose and Duck hype.

After careful consideration, Imaizumi planned out the firm's future development path.

The agency is still burning through cash in many areas. The five virtual avatars for the second generation and the detailed Live2D production cost nearly a million dollars, and the 3D models cost even more.

Oh right, and his official car too. It's really not right for him to always take a taxi to work in the city center.

"Let's not invest for now, let's make a profit first," Jin Zhao decided.

In any case, if he doesn't touch real estate or coffee shops this cycle and focuses on running his firm, he should be fine. He can stabilize for one cycle and make a profit.

If he really loses money for three consecutive cycles, where will this young man put his face in the business world? Does he even care about his reputation anymore? If Tsuzuki Shisen finds out, I wonder how he'll laugh at him!

After composing myself, ZhaNq:旧●偲≠魃∨.2俬糤伶]∶今照之 headed to the rehearsal room.

I have nothing to do today, so I'll listen to some of Gao Songdeng's songs.

......

The rehearsal room, the space for the second-generation trainees.

Jin Zhaozhi glanced at it.

Because of their respective schedules, the second-generation members, Toyokawa Shoko, had scheduled a rehearsal every two days. Today, only she and Izare Nina from the second generation came, as Nina had gone to hang out with the first-generation members.

"Where's Wakaba Mu?"

Shoko Toyokawa hesitated for a moment, then answered softly, "He should have gone to school. I... I'll go to Haneoka after I've finished with the team building for veMjic."

"Haneoka? I remember Hina Hikawa was the student council president of Haneoka. You can ask her if you have any questions."

"Yes, I understand." Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

She said "I know" instead of "I can," clearly indicating that she didn't intend to ask for help.

Jin Zhaozhi, unfazed by the young lady's arrogance, continued, "It seems that Takamatsu Akari is also planning to attend Haneoka University. I'm a little worried about her personality."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression softened. "I will take care of her."

After a brief chat, Jin Zhaozhi got up to go visit the first-generation students.

As she was leaving, Toyokawa Shoko, who was hunched over writing sheet music, asked:

When will our second generation debut?

"During the summer of August, due to the agency's funding arrangements, you will be able to hold a concert online in the form of virtual 3D images, so your performances after your debut will be much faster."

"I understand. I will prepare 10 songs for veMjic before August!"

Toyokawa Shoko ignited the flame of hard work.

Even the schedule is perfect for summer vacation. veMjic is about to ignite the summer!

Looking at her like this, Jin Zhaozhi wanted to ask about Wakaba Mutsu's condition, but then felt it was unnecessary. According to Toyokawa Shoko, she and Wakaba Mutsu had been good friends for many years, and they were always together in the band. If anything happened, Toyokawa Shoko would definitely be the first to notice, and she wasn't the kind of person who only cared about herself.

The rehearsal room, over here with the first-generation members.

Kawara Momoka was listening to Takamatsu Akari sing with her legs crossed, sipping a bottle of peach wine in the middle of the day. Because of Momoka, the rehearsal room was filled with a faint aroma of peach wine.

"Look at this, what a mess it looks like."

"Don't worry, the legal drinking age is 20."

Kawara no Momoka, who had just turned the legal drinking age, chuckled and showed no awareness of setting a good example for the other underage girls, even taking another sip of alcohol from the bottle.

"You should know that I'll deduct money from your pay if you drink alcohol during rehearsals."

"Hey, I'm looking for inspiration! President, you have no idea how hard that girl next door, with her string of letters 'Ob,' works when writing songs. I don't consider myself top-tier in the industry, but at least for a student band, my songwriting speed and quality are pretty good. Compared to her, I'm practically a greenhorn..."

　As she spoke, Xiao∥≥說日∪″更裙°:叭→▲儛．簯{流〓∝镏散四≤＞谰河原木桃香 began to pour out her grievances.

Shoko Toyokawa produced three songs in just a few days, while she had only managed to write two. One of them was a "traditional style song" that she didn't want to credit herself, a Japanese pop song with Chinese folk tunes.

After listening to it, Jin Zhaozhi realized that it was indeed true.

Listen to this magnificent string music, the drums, flutes and zithers of traditional Chinese instruments. Even if the core is still pop music, who wouldn't say that this is the pure ancient style produced and developed by E社 and far ahead of the competition?

"good."

"Not bad my foot! If it weren't for the need to target the market, I wouldn't write this kind of thing." Momoka Kawahara was full of disdain for her own work and directly attributed it to her agency.

After Takamatsu Akari finished singing, Kawahara Momoka called her in and started explaining the key points. Having played in a band for so many years, she was qualified to give guidance to her own lead singer.

During the discussion, Izare Rina suddenly rushed into the sound control room, looking like a fairy reporting "something terrible has happened" to the boss: "President! We've been plagiarized!"

"Plagiarism?" Momoka Kawaharaki sat up straight instantly.

Now, Zhao asks, "What happened?"

"this!"

Jingqinrencai showed the contents of the phone in her hand.

The above is an announcement from Wing-Wind, an agency owned by the Toyokawa zaibatsu, recruiting individuals with experience in live streaming and bands, in preparation for entering the virtual live streaming industry.

"Oh, that's fine. It doesn't matter."

Jin Zhaozhi had anticipated this.

His activities and those of the two firms were not concealed.

With enough effort and the cooperation of an industry professional familiar with Bilibili, one can quickly figure out his path to becoming a virtual streamer and making money overseas, especially with an agency that has the resources of the Toyokawa family.

After their investigation revealed that virtual YouTubers could easily make money, Wing-Wind became the first agency to follow E社's lead and try their hand at virtual YouTubers.

On one hand, they directly announced that Smimi would be streaming as a virtual YouTuber, tentatively twice a month. On the other hand, they revealed the virtual avatars of the five first-generation members, clearly aiming to compete with their own E-Company.

E社's strategy of balancing YouTube and Bilibili is likely being copied by the other party.

Facing his peers, Jin Zhaozhi felt only a cold laugh.

"You guys had better figure out how to make money off Bilibili."

There's a famous saying in the industry: the best business strategy is to wait for your competitors to make mistakes.

This is especially evident in the virtual YouTuber industry, which aims to make a living from Bilibili.

Because you never know when your competitors might say something outrageous that backfires, making it so bad that they can't even properly apologize, and then stubbornly insist that losing 10% of the market doesn't hurt.

To make money in a place, you have to abide by its rules, but unfortunately, many competitors fail to do so. He's waiting to see if Wing-Wind is really that clever.

Seeing how calm Jin Zhaozhi was, Jing Qinrencai couldn't help but speak up:

"But this is plagiarism! This pink one, this purple one, and this bard pig—how can a pig become a bard? Anyone who compares them can see that they copied all the character designs from the first generation!"

"The similarities to the original character design are so subtle that it's hard to define. Unfortunately, that's just how the industry is." (Three >!) ‖∪

Kawara Momoka's body went limp again.

She waved her hand: "In the industry, there are hardworking people, creative geniuses, and hardworking geniuses. Of course, there are also geniuses who don't follow the right path and only know how to bully others by taking advantage of their size."

Even Guitar Hero commented "disgusting"!

Jingqin Rencai was very confused. "So, we can just turn a blind eye? Can't we even just condemn it? It's just a setting. You can write as much as you want. Why do you have to copy even something as insignificant as the setting? This is too much!"

"Haha, little Rencai, you're so cute."

Kawara Momoka chuckled.

Jin Zhaozhi understood Tao Xiang's meaning, propped her chin on her hand, and smiled.

She found this child, who had no social experience and suddenly offered her opinion, incredibly adorable. Even though Nina was the oldest virtual artist besides herself, she was still cute.

"Damn it, what kind of nonsense is this kind of 'wrong' that everyone agrees on..." Nina gritted her teeth. "I won't agree to it. When they fail, I'll sing them a song and laugh at them!"

"Okay, we'll all wait."
