Tokyo Soft Rice King

Although asking this question in person would be like being an idiot, he really didn't want to engage in intrigue with this fellow countryman who had traveled to another world with him.

No need, really no need.

After all, the fact that we can travel through time means that we are all unfortunate.

"Don't be afraid, because I don't think you, Uncle Yong, are the kind of idiot who would 'kill' me for a little profit. It won't do you any good."

The killing here certainly does not refer to physical elimination, but to kicking Hei Yuming out after the company becomes successful.

But this is just like the brave team in those otherworldly toilet paper stories kicking out the most useful support, which is basically a coin-minting operation.

"Indeed... However, few people can resist the temptation to keep it all to themselves."

"But you are Fang Yong. You have already been a superior and have seen the scenery at the highest point. As Hijikata Yong, you don't care about these things at all. You just want to return to your family, right?"

I see... Kuroba Ming's delegation of power to me is not just trust, but a thorough understanding of me.

He has seen through me, so he is not afraid of betrayal.

"Amin, you...were you really just a social animal in your previous life?"

"Yes, that is, the team leader of a project."

"Either your boss doesn't know what you're worth, or you've been buried..."

It's also possible that his boss saw Hei Yuming's ability and deliberately suppressed him...

They must have assigned him a lot of excessive work that he couldn't possibly complete, clearly wanting him to give up.

But that was all in the past life. Working like a slave for others would lead to all kinds of unpleasant things.

In his previous life, Hei Yuming didn't catch up with his good era, but in this world, he was born in the right era, so let's build his own career!

Hijikata Isamu has decided to take another gamble on this young man.

This time, we must win big! We have everything!

But from a realistic point of view, some things still need to be said.

"But, Ming, your uncle Yong is also a failure when it comes to managing a company... Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, in my previous life, I was usurped from the position of actual power in the company and became an irrelevant person, so you can't expect me to manage the company well."

“But I don’t know how to manage a company…”

"So you'll need a secretary to assist you. Ideally, someone who's extremely smooth, good at dealing with people, understands people's hearts, has a broad perspective, and is capable of strong execution. They must also be someone you absolutely trust, and someone who will also obey you unconditionally."

"Where can I find such a perfect secretary..."

It seems there is.

What appeared in Kuroba Ming's mind was the smiling face of the class monitor.

If she is the squad leader, let her be your personal secretary. With her abilities, she will definitely be able to manage the company well, and it will also make your life easier.

In other words, the secretary will do it when there is something to do, and she will do it when there is nothing to do... No, no, no... Even if the squad leader becomes a secretary, she cannot be asked to "serve" herself.

Is it because I'm interacting with Ziyin too frequently that I'm starting to have fantasies about becoming the class monitor? This isn't good...

The friendship between me and the squad leader is pure!

In short, the class monitor is definitely the most suitable candidate. We don’t even have to wait until graduation. If she is willing, we can recruit her now.

But the biggest problem is that the squad leader is from the Anri family, and the Anri family has its own huge industry. There is no need for her to come to this small temple to work for him.

Unless I want her to owe me a favor... I have to do her a commission that is more important than the one from Kotori Yuya.

However, as long as I try to explain the company's prospects to the squad leader, maybe he will be willing to invest... In short, I'll talk to the squad leader later.

"Have you thought of anyone?"

"Well, I'll go look for it later."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Besides that, I must make it clear to you in advance. I can handle the technical aspects, but I'm still short of two things."

Hijikata Isamu pushed his glasses and held up two fingers.

Hei Yuming also knew which two things were missing.

"Money, and people, right?"

"That's right. First of all, if you want to build a video website, you need a very large server. For now, I can barely cope with it with my computer, but we are not going to create a personal hobby website, but a commercial website. If we don't want to keep it to ourselves, but want to expand it, we need a bigger server. If we can't afford to buy one, we have to rent one, so it will cost some money."

"Well, I understand that. I will be able to get some money soon, which should be enough for the initial period."

Hei Yuming nodded. Starting a business definitely requires start-up capital. Compared with the physical industry, the Internet industry requires very little money spent in the early stages.

Therefore, Hei Yuming plans to invest all the royalties he gets into this. He doesn't want to sacrifice anything, so now is not the time to save money.

"Time waits for no one. I'll build the website today. But Ming, although I can register the website first and use online materials to build a framework, I can't do the interface design work."

Hijikata Isamu also knew that in this era, the earlier you start, the more chances you have to make a fortune, so he planned to build the website tonight.

"Uncle, I don't understand art, so you'll have to find someone to take care of that. They'll be responsible for the website's visual design, including the colors, fonts, icons, and other elements of the interface. Larger companies usually have user experience designers. They'll ensure that the interface is beautiful and simple, while also ensuring it's 'easy to use', meaning it suits user habits."

"I understand. It means art is needed."

It turns out that no matter what you do, you need professionals.

People are the main factor in making things happen.

I wonder if Aiyuan Menghui can do website design. After all, she has a background in art and is also proficient in design...

I'll ask her for help when I go to school. I think she'll be willing to do me a small favor.

"Also, my time is limited, mainly because I have other projects to work on. After finishing this one, I plan to turn down future commissions and focus on your barrage video website. But even so, it's difficult for me to complete everything by myself, so I still need help."

"How many people do you need?"

"Hmm... development, testing, quality assurance, and system operations... three people... no, at least four. With four people, we can handle it."

"What level do you need?"

"They don't have to be professionals. It doesn't matter if their skills aren't up to par. I can train them, but it's best if they're willing to work hard... and be very dedicated."

"Okay, I understand. I will help you find the right person as soon as possible."

“Are you hiring?”

"No, I'll find it for you from school."

"Uh...students..."

Hijikata Isamu has very low trust in students. Most of the recent graduates are half-baked, let alone high school students?

In high school, there are not many people who are interested in computer technology, right?

"Yes, but don't worry, Uncle Yong, I have a cheat!"

"what?"

Kuroba Akira told Hijikata Isamu that he could see through talent and proficiency, which surprised him again.

Although it sounds strange and mysterious, but when I think about it carefully, the act of time travel itself is mysterious enough, so I feel relieved.

"My goodness... This is your trump card, Ming! With this cheat, the company will be able to gather a bunch of monsters! Oh my god...!"

You know, the biggest problem for many companies is that as they expand, a bunch of trash and people with ulterior motives sneak in, so they become worse and worse... That was the case with B in his previous life.

Therefore, if Hei Yuming is in charge of personnel and responsible for recruiting, he will not have to worry about not finding suitable people.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you know how to use talents. Otherwise, you will attract a bunch of ambitious people who want to overthrow the boss, and then the company will fall apart from within.

Thinking about it this way, the squad leader who can control this group of people becomes more and more important. Hei Yuming wants her more and more... In other words, he wants her to board his boat.

"Okay, then I'll leave both of these tasks to you... I haven't finished yet, Ming. Building a video website isn't complicated. The technical threshold isn't very high. Even the barrage video website you mentioned already has several. And only the original one has decent traffic. The other imitations are terrible."

After all, Hijikata Isamu is an old hand. He expressed his concerns. In fact, they started a little late and could not become the leader.

"In the internet industry, the first to try something new takes all the spoils, leaving those who follow behind barely getting a taste of the action. This is because internet products are inherently monopolistic. Once users get used to a product, they rarely switch unless it's completely unsatisfactory."

"I know this, so we have to defeat those barrage video websites first, make them disappear, and become the only barrage video website."

"What are you going to do? Even if I build the website, it's still just an empty shell. I can't just wait for users to discover our website organically and upload videos out of interest."

"I've already thought about this. Uncle Yong, can you 'dig out the video'?"

"Yes, it's possible, it's not difficult... But stealing videos will get you into copyright trouble, and I don't want to go to jail."

In Japan, copyright is very difficult to deal with. Stealing videos is actually illegal. Many small websites have died because they do not have high-quality content.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to steal videos from other local websites...we can just go and steal videos from foreign websites."

Hei Yuming chuckled. He had already checked. When it comes to videos, cross-border rights protection is a very costly and thankless task. Moreover, the country is in the "Internet Pirate Era" with all kinds of pirated resources emerging one after another. It has no time to care about a Japanese website.

"To be precise, it's the video from my hometown. Uncle Yong, you've also noticed that the motherland in this world is a little abnormally strong, isn't it?"

"Well, there must be other travelers like us over there. But I'm a little confused as to why they didn't take this place down as well..."

"Who knows? That happened decades ago. Who knows the truth behind history? Anyway, the cultural and entertainment industry in my country is more developed than in my previous life, so the amount of video content and the number of views must be huge, right?"

"After all, population is an advantage. Here, 100,000 views is considered high, but over there, a million is just the starting point for a popular video..."

"Yeah, and it's still in its wild growth phase, so in order to fill the content library, we're moving videos from the internet!"

At first, B also copied a lot of N’s videos, but now it’s... the opposite of Tiangang!

"Well... it's true that this is still a gray area... Although there are risks, if you're afraid of even this, there's no way you can accomplish anything."

The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. Hijikata Isamu was not a person who would be afraid of things, so he decided to do so immediately.

"Okay, I get it. In the early stages, we'll just scrape videos from the internet to fill our content library... But if other websites see us stealing videos to attract traffic, they'll definitely come after us."

"Well, so the next step is to buy those people's websites, then recruit those people and eat up their accumulated users."

"Directly annex? ... This is the way big capital plays. Ming, do you have money?"

"Not yet, but there will be one in the future. I will invest all the money I get into this."

"You're ready to go all in... Okay, you're bold!"

"Then we need to buy traffic. We need to buy trending searches and rank at the top of the most popular search engines. Although this will attract many low-quality users, it is enough to drive website traffic to the top of the barrage video website."

"Advertising costs aren't cheap. Propaganda and marketing are the bulk of the cost. If it's just at this level, it shouldn't cost too much... but it's still expensive."

The methods mentioned by Hei Yuming are all effective quickly, but they also cost a lot of money.

So Hijikata Isamu was very confused. Where did Kuroba Ming plan to get such a large amount of start-up capital?

Could it be that he's going to Kabukicho to be a gigolo and sell hooks?

So in order to reassure Hijikata Isamu and let him know that his source of funds was safe, Kuroba Akira told Hijikata Isamu that he was "holding the thighs of geniuses", and the example was Shion, who he brought home.

Then Hijikata Isamu realized that Murasakimiya Shion was not Kuroba Akira's girlfriend, but this guy's cash cow... He was immediately very impressed.

I mainly admire his courage. This is a totally stupid trick that only a newbie who has never been raped by a woman can think of!

After all, Fang Yong was stabbed by the woman he kept in his previous life, so he knew how "blind" women were. She held a grudge against him for not marrying her, and in the end, she was used as a tool.

Although this had nothing to do with him, Hijikata Isamu didn't want his brother who was working with him to be killed by a woman, so he kindly reminded him.

"Ah Ming, if you keep going like this, you'll probably end up at the hands of a woman. I've known some guys who got entangled with women and ended up ruining their reputations..."

"No, I was a lifelong virgin in my previous life. I was never popular until my death."

You don't know shit.

Is it possible that your popularity and romantic opportunities only began after you traveled to this world?

An excessively strong peach blossom period will often turn into a peach blossom disaster.

Then from what Hei Yuming said, it seemed that he had not only provoked Zizhigong Ziyin, but also had subtle relationships with many women.

Although Hei Yuming may have established good relationships with them for talent and money, women would not think so... Does he know that he is playing with fire?

Because most women are emotional creatures, they often act on impulse and won't listen to reason at all... "I don't want to develop that kind of relationship with you, but I'll tell them later." Do you think they'll believe it?

But… starting a business does require money in the early stages, and I’m a middle-aged man with a huge debt, so I can’t afford a dime…

After weighing the pros and cons, Hijikata Isamu decided that he should stop interfering.

Once he has a successful career, even if Hei Yuming gets entangled with a group of women and is forced to escape in the end, at least he will have the money to escape, right?

So come on, Ming!

For the sake of my uncle's family, don't lose to women and make more money from them!

In this way, our business will surely be a great success!

As for your personal happiness...what does it have to do with your uncle?
