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

She became serious: "My name is Yutenji Ruomai, and I have 2.9 followers on YouTube. My account focuses on beauty content, and I have a year of experience as a live streamer. I handle all the editing and business collaborations myself, and I've secured several beauty brand collaborations and promotions..."

Jin Zhaozhi nodded repeatedly.

Japan's population is much smaller than China's, so we can't judge her by the same standards as Chinese internet celebrities. Among Japanese streamers, she's considered pretty good even among the bottom-tier streamers; calling her the bottom is a bit of an understatement.

After Miaomeng finished introducing himself, he asked, "As you know, the agency's goal is also to form a band. Do you have any instruments you're good at?"

"I've been practicing the drums lately."

"Practicing? How's it going?" Imaizumi asked.

Like a Korean player in the LPL who kept practicing Chinese, but ended up being interviewed in Korean?

Miao Meng clearly went through some internal struggle before saying, "A neighbor friend of mine who has experience at a martial arts gym said I have a lot of talent on the drums, and that I can use both hands..."

"I see." Jin Zhaozhi nodded.

It's not that I understand Miaomeng's skill level anymore, but rather that I understand her network of connections.

Judging from the fact that none of her neighbors or friends appeared in her videos, they were probably just neighbors and friends, and not anything more than that. It's better than nothing, I suppose.

After a brief chat, Miaomeng was successfully signed.

I won't go into details about arranging teachers for Chihaya Aine and Yutenji Wakanagi; the agency has its own system, so they'll just have them train for a while before discussing anything else.

Jin Zhaozhi secretly made some calculations:

"In that case, lead vocalist Hatsuka, drummer Yutenji Wakana, guitarist Chihaya Aine... I wonder when Hatsuka's Crychic will disband. Toyokawa-san is quite talented; student bands disband without a trace. If we could get her to join the band..."

This is currently considered a budget version of the Galactic Empire, the best lineup a small firm could assemble. ∨》＇″◎

He was calculating the situation of several people graduating from high school.

Chihaya Aine is going to high school in London, which gives her time to develop. By then, many popular bloggers with millions of followers will be announcing the formation of bands. If she does well in London, she could even form a band with several Europeans and Americans, which would be a game-changer for the Japanese.

No matter how you look at it, he can't lose; he'll win twice!

Main text: Chapter 14 (Chapter 13) The Dark Side of the Toyokawa Family

Inside a bustling skyscraper in the heart of Tokyo.

This commercial building was developed by Toyokawa Realty, and tonight Toyokawa Realty invites people from all walks of life to attend the building's opening ceremony.

In the crowd, Ima Teruyuki, dressed in a custom-made suit, blended into the background. Nakamachi Arale stood beside her, having removed many pink hair accessories, looking much more serious.

Jin Zhaozhi looked at the unremarkable man giving a speech on the stage.

Within the Toyokawa family, he was criticized as "incompetent" and had a very low opinion of himself. After his partner, Mizuho Toyokawa, died, he reportedly worked hard for a time, but remained mediocre and unproductive. However, Ima Teruyuki believes that his position within the Toyokawa family will improve significantly after the completion of the 168 billion yen port development project.

"Oh, isn't this Boss Jin?"

An elderly woman's voice came from behind Jin Zhaozhi.

Shifune Tsuzuki appeared behind him, one hand on her hip, staring at Arale Nakamachi. "I always thought your part-time girl was pretty good... and now you've turned her into an entertainer?"

"Yes, I think she has a lot of talent."

Today, Zhao Zhi and the guests on the poetry boat in the capital are dressed together.

He laughed and said, "She recently joined a girl group of students and is scheduled to have her first live performance at RiNG. It's a pity that SPCE has closed down, otherwise I would have liked to ask the boss to help her get started."

Shifune Tsuzuki is known for his strictness in Toshima Ward. He loves to put pressure on the bands in his shop, and his catchphrase is "Did you do your best?" It is said that several lead singers of the bands lost their voices due to the pressure.

Arale Nakamachi heard the praise and made some soft humming sounds, which were not very clear.

Duzhu Shichuan smiled:

“I’m no longer the owner of SPCE. But if you’re going to CiRCLE or the second store, RiNG, and you’re looking to buy property in the area or move into RiNG, you can just mention my name. There’s still one coffee shop in RiNG that we haven’t decided on yet.”

"...?"

Jin Zhaozhi's smile seemed a little strained.

What does the boss mean? Do you want me to keep getting involved so you can set me up and bully me?

Then you've found the right person.

He had been following the news in the music industry. RiNG was a large-scale LiveHose in preparation, located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The architectural plans included multiple performance halls, as well as a music store, recording studio, etc. It was almost a commercial complex mainly for music business, and it could be described as very luxurious.

Imaizumi Teruyuki does indeed plan to acquire a piece of land near RiNG in the next cycle and reach a deeper cooperation with RiNG, but he did not expect that these two stores are also related to Tsuzuki Shisen.

Looking at Jin Zhaozhi's expression, as if she had seen what she wanted to see, she was satisfied and said with a hint of suggestion, "Unless you go to the LiveHose in Shimokitazawa, you can't avoid me around the LiveHose here. They basically all know me, the old woman."

Hearing this calm statement, Jin Zhaozhi sighed inwardly: Damn it, I've run into a big shot.

He changed the subject: "Where's Xiao Renai? Didn't Ms. Tsuzuki bring her?"

"She definitely doesn't like these kinds of occasions."

Tsuzuki Shisen looked around, clearly showing no interest in Toyokawa Kiyoko on the stage.

"I only came to see if you would bring my invitation. You're much more interesting than him, and so is the person next to you. Now that I've seen you, my purpose for coming here is accomplished. Goodbye, Jin. I hope to see you and your firm's name at the next RiNG meeting."

Ms. Tsuzuki, whose personality and nature are very similar to her granddaughter's, waved and disappeared into the crowd.

Before leaving, she glanced at Arale Nakamachi one last time, wondering if the musical genius wanted to make a move. Arale took a step back in fear, shielding Imaizumi in front of her.

"What a strange SPCE owner, no wonder she suddenly closed the store..."

"She looks exactly like her granddaughter," Jin Zhaozhi complained.

After a while, the stage finally quieted down.

After Toyokawa Kiyoko finished his speech, Imaizumi and the others immediately burst into applause, which was continuous and powerful. Their mature movements and loud applause showed no signs of it being their first time participating in a high-level game.

Before bowing and leaving the stage, he mentioned the 168 billion yen investment by Toyokawa Properties, stating that an agreement has been reached with the property owner in the port area and construction will officially begin soon.

At this moment, Jin Zhaozhi was genuinely applauding.

His 4000 million yuan worth of Toyokawa Real Estate stock has now risen to 4800 million yuan, completely recouping his losses from the Red Leaf Coffee Shop. That's why it's called real estate, isn't it?

My goodness, real estate sir!

He watched Toyokawa Kiyotaka enter the backstage area, then looked at Nakamachi Arale: "Hatsuka, are there any celebrities you're interested in on the program? If not, you can prepare to leave."

"Huh? I didn't look at the program schedule..."

Arale Nakamachi looked dazed, as if she only listened to the arrangements of Teruyuki Imaizumi, and obviously did not care at all about the program schedule and related artists announced by Toyokawa Real Estate.

"Let's go then, it's just a regular performance."

Now, Zhao has accumulated RiNG's network of contacts, and his goal has been achieved.

The two left the stage almost simultaneously with Tsuzuki Shisen.

The next performance by the artist will only waste his earning potential.

Inside the commercial building, the host announced the upcoming program.

A female voice announced, "Next up, please welcome Ms. Mana Junda and Ms. Hatsuka Mikami from the Smimi group to perform 'Here, the World'!"

Mana Junda, along with "Hatsuka Mitsumi," who looks remarkably similar to Arale Nakamachi, took to the stage.

The process of singing Yi's songs was unremarkable.

Liu Smimi is a new group that debuted not long ago. The reason they were able to perform here is simply because their agency, Win-Wing, is also invested in by the Toyokawa TGW Group. They are purely related by connections.

Kiyoshi Toyokawa simply clapped his hands.

Ling's mind was filled with thoughts of that 168 billion investment.

Unexpectedly, after the event, "Hatsuka Misaki" approached him and revealed a shocking piece of news: the girl in front of him, who looked the same age as his daughter Toyokawa Shoko, was actually Toyokawa Sadaharu's illegitimate daughter, who lived on the island! Not only that, Toyokawa Sadaharu also demanded that she stay on the island!

Dad: "How...how could he do such a thing?!"

Upon hearing of Old Deng's shamelessness, Zero Toyokawa clenched his fists.

It's one thing to be unable to control one's lower body, but to fabricate such a ridiculous reason as having feelings for the housekeeper because of an injury! Misaki Hatsune is nine months older than Toyokawa Shoko, so Toyokawa Sadaharu got the housekeeper pregnant a few months before Toyokawa Mizuho became pregnant? Is this still the current head of the Toyokawa family?

Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, whom he seemed to have glanced at before, and who was Toyokawa Shoko's childhood playmate, Toyokawa Kiyoko felt as if his face was burning with shame.

He gritted his teeth, patted his chest, and made a promise: "Don't worry, Sankaku, I will help you get back to the Toyokawa family! I'll go see Toyokawa Sadaharu immediately! The Toyokawa family would never have such a dark affair!..."

Main text: Chapter 15 Chapter 14 The situation is truly excellent!

Kiyoshi Toyokawa's heart is passionate.

The result, of course, was cold.

His seemingly reasonable request was sternly rejected by Toyokawa Sadaharu.

He could hardly believe it: "How could you do this? She's your daughter!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Toyokawa Shoko is already the undisputed next leader of the Toyokawa family. Bringing Misaki Miku back will not only affect you and me, but also Shoko!"

"So, you're going to hide the widow and her child on an island, never letting them out for the rest of their lives? Is this how a father should act? If Xiangzi finds out, what will she think of you?!" Ba

"Shut up! The Toyokawa family's darkness is terrifying..."

Toyokawa Sadaharu gazed at the night outside the window, the dark shadows of the trees casting a pall over his face.

He suddenly turned around, looking at the spirited young man standing in the warm light of the Toyokawa villa, silent, and waved him out. This foolish boy who married Mizuho probably still doesn't know what the Toyokawa family plans to do to him. He's been a son-in-law of the Toyokawa family for so long, how can he still be so naive?

What can a mere 168 billion do in Hong Kong? How could anyone be so foolish as to believe that…?

“Just wait, Father! I will prove I have the ability to control the Toyokawa family, and then I will bring Misaki and her mother back to Tokyo. I will not allow such a tragic thing to happen within my power…”

He walked away, still so naive, filled with anger.

Toyokawa Sadaharu, however, found it laughable.

"Sigh." Dingzhi sat back down at his desk. "How could you be so stupid!..."

He couldn't hide the subtle actions within the Toyokawa family from them.

Toyokawa Sadaharu already knew that someone had reported him to Toyokawa Kiyoshi for setting a trap for him.

The so-called 168 billion yen investment—whether it was the bank, the middleman, or the person willing to sell the land—was all pre-arranged. Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't tell Toyokawa Kiyoko about it because the scam originated from within the Toyokawa family, and he wanted to test Toyokawa Kiyoko's abilities.

Unfortunately, the result was...

Kiyoko Toyokawa actually accepted the obviously suspicious deal.

It seems likely that the 168 billion yuan investment will soon be exposed and collapse, as the other party has no intention of handing over the land and has arranged for people to flee. This 168 billion yuan loss will then be attributed to Toyokawa Kiyoshi.

Because of the losses, he will be relegated to a lower level within the Toyokawa family business.

Toyokawa Sadaharu could salvage everything, but he's not worth it, especially since he even tried to interfere in Misaki Miku's affairs tonight, which is unacceptable to Toyokawa Sadaharu.

Toyokawa Sadaharu wanted to watch Toyokawa Kiyoko fall into the abyss.

Miku Miku, the triangle, can only remain on the island.

……

The joys and sorrows between people are not the same.

Toyokawa Sadaharu was sad and angry, but Kojiro was quite happy.

He opened the money-losing system that he hadn't seen for a week.

[Host: Imataru]

Qi [Loss this period: 220 million]

[Profit for this period: 0 (normal settlement ratio), 849 million (special stock settlement ratio)]

[51 days remaining in this cycle]

3. [Assets under his name: Momiji Coffee Shop (severely loss-making), ExElio Firm (initial investment with small losses), Toyokawa Real Estate stock (value increasing, not yet reaching the threshold for disclosure)]

Si [System Funds: 0]

Personal funds: 476 million yen

It's normal to incur a small loss in the initial investment since the agency has just been acquired, because the purchased Live2D virtual characters are not considered worth that much investment by outsiders, but the agency doesn't care.

Normal business transactions, such as purchasing traffic packages from Bilibili, are unlikely to be counted as losses. It would only be considered a loss if an unforeseen event causes a significant drop in traffic and Bilibili refuses to compensate.

His main source of income, Fengchuan Real Estate, is thriving.

Turning off the panel, Jin Zhaozhi begins a new and hopeful day.

He first looked at today's schedule.

"Nyan Yume and Chihaya are in training. I don't have anything to do at the agency. I'll go home and watch PS*Ple's B-limited series tonight... As for the coffee shop, I'll send a letter to RiNG to apply for a spot there."

"Oh right, Arale's rich girl band, I think they're having a performance?"
