Chapter 99 The potential of the music industry

“Before you decide on equity, you need to make things clear.”

When it came to business, Igarashi Runa took a sip of barley tea, moistened his throat, and took the lead.

"When opening a new company, profitability is crucial, and for our new company, the first step is to identify the products."

"Kurosawa, based on your needs, basic equipment, including piano, fully equipped recording studio, and video camera."

"Yes." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded. These were the things he needed.

"Considering the plan you mentioned before, the video of the piano will be released first to make it famous, so the equipment cannot be bad. We are considering a Steinway piano, not to mention the top-notch, but also first-class, and the price is 21 million yen. "

"Actually, you don't need such a good piano..."

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little bit speechless. This business was a little more complicated than he thought.

Originally, he thought that he would just have a piano, rent a recording studio, and record a video.

A piano costs more than 20 million, so what to do?

"That won't work." Igarashi Runa shook his head.

"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. A good piano is very important. If you want to do something, you must do it well."

At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was sitting next to her, also spoke.

"But where does all this money come from?"

Kurosawa frowned. If he really wanted to act on this idea, the amount of money required for various equipment would be exaggerated.

"Dangdang! The rich woman is here."

Seeing his distress, Igarashi Runa immediately faced Chizuru and spread his hands as if showing a flower.

"Is Mr. Ninomiya so rich?" Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned when he heard this, and then he was dumbfounded.

Although he learned from Miss Runa that Teacher Ninomiya was a little rich woman...but he had no idea how rich she was.

"Being a teacher is not her main way to make money. Investment is her strength. Chizuru's first round of investment is 100 million yen, and subsequent capital increases will depend on the situation." Igarashi Runa nodded. He said it as if he was showing off.

"So much?" Kurosawa Hikaru was shocked when he heard the amount.

One hundred million yen...then his six million savings can only be considered a fraction?

Calculated based on the exchange rate of 20 to 1, it is equivalent to five million, which is not a small amount.

"In short, you don't have to think about money. In terms of equity, you are a technology investor, which is the trump card of this business."

Seeing his shocked look, Ninomiya Chizuru felt a little secretly happy and comforted him.

"Okay." Kurosawa nodded.

"I researched the market last night. A first-class Steinway grand piano costs 21 million, a fully equipped recording studio costs 15 million, and a professional and complete set of photography equipment costs 10 million. The office rents land for half a year for 30 million, and the remaining money is used for operations and publicity.”

Immediately afterwards, Igarashi Runa continued to speak.

"This is a big gamble... The cost is so high. What if we lose? How long will it take to get back the money?"

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at Chizuru Ninomiya with some smacking of tongue in cheek. Originally, his entrepreneurial goal was very simple.

Within two years, Miss Runa's annual income can be returned to 20 million, and she can just make some money.

But according to this method, the cost investment will be nearly 100 million. How long will it take to recover the cost?

"If you lose, if you feel it's not appropriate, just study honestly without any burden."

Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him, very calm.

"Kurosawa, do you know how much income Rika Fujiwara makes in a year?"

Seeing Kurosawa Hikaru's reaction, Igarashi Runa asked immediately.

"Then I don't know." Kurosawa Hikaru doesn't know much about the celebrity industry.

"Her personal annual income is 1.3 billion."

"so much?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised. He felt that there was no way to make money as a singer and star in Neon, but now it seemed that he was still too one-sided.

"The reason why she has such an income is because most of her sales are shared with the company. Do you know how much the most popular singer in the world earns in a year?"

Seeing that he was frightened, Igarashi Runa got excited and continued.

"How many?"

Kurosawa's interest was piqued. This was an area he had never been exposed to before and didn't know much about.

"Converted into Japanese yen, it's more than 20 billion." (This is a reference to Swift's income)

Igarashi Runa raised two fingers and shook his hand.

"So exaggerated?" Kurosawa Hikaru clicked his tongue.

"The top of the music world is very scary. Because you want to be the Masked Singer, we don't want to be the top first, but only the best. Assuming that you will be popular, you can make back your money within two years, and then you will start to have success. Continuous income. If you can become popular, or even become famous in the world, the income will be more intuitive.”

"How much does the highest-paid pianist earn per year?" After hearing this, Kurosawa asked suddenly.

"I did some research last night. It's several billion yen a year. Pianists' income mainly comes from touring performances and high-end endorsements, but it's very hard work." (Here is the reference to Lang Lang's income)

"When you say that, I feel relieved." After learning this, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly smiled.

To be honest, when I first heard that Mr. Ninomiya directly invested 100 million, he was a bit hypocritical.

After all, he originally wanted to start from a young age, and didn't plan to hit hard as soon as he got up.

But after realizing the upper limit of the music industry, he felt relieved.

According to the system, entry-level skills are equivalent to the level that ordinary people can achieve with their lifelong efforts.

His entry-level singing voice is better than most singers. As long as he has good arrangement and lyrics, he can become popular.

If he completes the task this afternoon, his piano will be upgraded to piano proficiency, which is terrifying.

The height that a genius can reach with his lifelong efforts... This means that his piano level will be world-class, and it will not be a problem for the company to make a profit.

"As long as we do well, the company's annual turnover of 100 million or even hundreds of millions is possible."

Seeing him smiling, Igarashi Runa was relieved, and there was a constant flow of courage and hope from his body.

There is no future in being a worker. You must be a boss to really make a lot of money.

"It's time to talk about equity."

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Ninomiya Chizuru spoke.

"After discussion, the equity is divided into 40:30, and you get 40%. Then because you are an artist, you have to sign a contract for a 50:50 split. For example, if you earn 100 million, you will get 50 million first, and the remaining 50 million will be divided according to equity after calculating various operating expenses."

"40%..."

Kurosawa Hikaru naturally knows about these equity-related matters and is thoughtful.

"Is it too little?" Ninomiya Chizuru asked when she saw him thinking.

This is the split she came up with last night, which is very preferential in all aspects.

"No, it's just that I'm thinking that in order to make your annual income exceed 20 million, the net profit must be at least 80 million." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.

According to this calculation, although his equity is 40%, the actual share is far higher than this basis.

He first takes the contract share and then the dividend. In theory, the money he can get is the most, even more than their total income. If it is still too little, it would be too greedy.

"Our goal is not to achieve a net profit of 80 million, but more."

Igarashi Runa said immediately after noticing that he was thinking about this.

"That's true."

"Kurosawa, our entrepreneurship this time depends on your potential. Whether this company will go bankrupt or rise depends on you."

Ninomiya Chizuru still sat in her original position, always calm and not arrogant, but the look she gave Kurosawa Hikaru was full of expectation.

"Leave it to me with confidence." Kurosawa Hikaru felt much more at ease and even confident when he learned about the pianist's income.
