At this moment, even Chizuru Ninomiya, who was calm, mature, and steady, and never showed any emotion, could not contain her excitement.
Not only because she can do what she wants, but also because she doesn't have to wait so long.
Under normal circumstances, she would have to wait at least two and a half years for Kurosawa Hikaru to graduate from the University of Tokyo.
"How big does it have to be to fully grow?"
Seeing her eyes shining, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised and asked.
It seems that his previous words inadvertently triggered Miss Ninomiya's trigger.
"If I want them to ignore me, I just have to make more money than them."
“What is your parents’ annual salary?”
It was the first time that Kurosawa Hikaru saw her so energetic, and he was curious.
"Bankers don't look at annual salaries, they rely mainly on investments and dividends, as well as various consulting commissions. Their total income last year was 8 billion. According to the 30% equity, if the turnover of Zero Hour Office depends entirely on you, our annual profit will only be 26 billion yen..."
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about this problem for a while, and her fiery heart gradually cooled down, and her somewhat excited expression also calmed down.
It is not so easy to achieve a profit of 26 billion.
I'm afraid that by the time Lingshi Office reached this level, two and a half years had passed.
You know, if Kurosawa Hikaru alone earns 26 billion, he is already on the same level as the top of the world music scene.
Even though Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills and talent were the best she had ever seen, and he could even sing, he was just starting out, and it would be impossible for him to reach the pinnacle of the music industry without five to ten years.
"Eight billion?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru learned about her parents' annual income, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Although he could feel that Miss Ninomiya's parents were executives and bankers at Neon Third Bank and were definitely very rich.
But I never expected it to be this high.
No wonder her parents didn't let her learn piano... How much money can you make from playing the piano
You know, the highest-earning pianist only has an annual income of 3 billion.
Even someone as strong as Ms. Runa and Japan's top superstar, Rikka Fujiwara, who was trained by Phantom Star Agency, only has an annual income of tens of billions.
To be honest, although Japan's entertainment industry has a large market size, in terms of money making and status, it really cannot compare with Europe and the United States, or the place where he lived in his previous life.
After all, he had seen too many sky-high paychecks in his previous life... For example, 1 Shuang equals 160 million, which is the income for more than two months, and the daily income is as high as 2.08 million. If converted into Japanese yen, it means that he can earn more than 40 million yen every day, and the annual income is as high as 10 billion.
"They are all graduates of the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo. They have solid theoretical knowledge, good venture capital vision, extensive personal connections, and intelligence networks. After nearly 30 years of operation, they have been snowballing and have long achieved financial freedom. They are still working as senior executives in banks for their personal connections, to be at the forefront of venture capital, and to wait for me to take over."
Ninomiya Chizuru's heart cooled down, and she suppressed the thought and impulse of resigning and no longer being a teacher.
In fact, when she was in college, she had thought about escaping their control and gossip by making more money than them.
However, she is very outstanding, and so are her parents, who even entered the financial industry more than 20 years earlier than her.
After leading for nearly thirty years, it is not easy for her to catch up.
Over the years, she has made a lot of money through various venture capital and stock speculation, but this is not enough.
Even though she was a teacher at the University of Tokyo, a position with a very high social status, her parents would often ask her to stop being a teacher and start working at Jiuye Bank instead.
If she had any other job or identity, she would probably have been forced by her parents to become a banker long ago.
"Actually, you calculated it wrong... Even if you can't surpass your parents, it would be fine if your annual income could reach over 1 billion."
Seeing that she was discouraged and no longer passionate, Kurosawa Hikaru comforted her.
Maybe you can't compare to your parents, but your annual income is as high as 10 billion. That can't be said to be a failure, right
"With an annual income of 1 billion, the firm's annual profit must be more than 3 billion."
"It's difficult to make an annual profit of 26 billion, but 3 billion is not impossible."
Kurosawa Hikaru felt that with his piano skills, the world-famous piano pieces from his previous life, and the support of Miss Runa, it was absolutely possible to achieve this level in this era of explosive traffic.
Moreover, his current main focus is piano. Piano has no borders, and it is very likely that he can break out of Japan and enter the European and American markets and directly earn US dollars.
"I know, with your talent and Runa's packaging, this is a matter of time... Sorry, I lost my temper just now."
Hearing this comfort, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, then took a deep breath, waved her hands, sent the hair that fell in front of her body behind her, and regained her composure.
In fact, she is very optimistic about the prospects and growth potential of Zero Hour Agency. Even if it cannot become the industry leader, it is definitely possible for it to become a top firm.
Especially after Kurosawa Hikaru became famous on the Internet with his song "Croatian Rhapsody", this speculation was further strengthened.
It is only a matter of time before Lingshi Firm's annual profit increases.
But this is a matter for the future, not now, nor in the near future. It will take a long time to bear fruit.
By the time their company becomes successful, Kurosawa Hikaru should have graduated.
Before that, they are still in a teacher-student relationship, and only time can change that.
"… "
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was driving, glanced sideways at her and found that she had returned to her usual cold and calm state. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was at a loss.
I have to say, Miss Ninomiya's parents are really strong.
As a top student graduating from the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo, and a profit-seeking and sharp-eyed banker, it is understandable that he has reached such a height after so many years of hard work.
For a moment, the relaxed and happy atmosphere just now fell to freezing point.
The process from having hope to having hope dashed is so short that it makes it hard to laugh.
The car kept moving forward, but the two people seemed to stay where they were at this moment.
In fact, when Kurosawa Mitsuru asked her whether she liked being a teacher, he actually wanted to break up this relationship.
After all, they are a teacher and a student. Miss Ninomiya would be wary when interacting with him and would not be able to be open with him at all.
"By the way, what kind of people are your parents?"
After a while, Ninomiya Chizuru completely calmed down her disappointment and helplessness. She found that the atmosphere in the car was not very good, so she took the initiative to find a topic.
"A loving couple selling oden, right?"
After hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and continued.
"I know. I mean their personalities."
As his teacher, Chizuru Ninomiya naturally knew about his family situation, but her knowledge of him was limited to information. She had never had actual contact or even a conversation with him.
Because Kurosawa Hikaru performed so well in school, was in good health, and never had any problems, there was no need to inform his parents or discuss anything.
"They are very good to me and have been proud of me since I was a child. No matter what I ask for, they will try their best to satisfy me and give me the best."
When talking about his family, Kurosawa Hikaru was also a little emotional.
He has possessed the mind of an adult since he was young, and he decided to learn from his mistakes in this life and make sure he gets admitted to a good university. He has been taking exams to death since he was two years old.
He has been obedient, sensible, polite and mature since he was young. In addition, he has always been the top student in the grade. He is the child of other people's parents and is even called a genius.
Is he a genius? He knows the truth very well, and so do his parents.
After all, he had been studying day and night since he was a child, and had put in countless efforts and hardships. He could be said to be the king of the exam papers... But when he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, there were still six people in his class who were better than him.
"That's great. Do your parents care what job you do?"
Having the opportunity to learn about his parents, Ninomiya Chizuru was also very curious.
"No, they let me do whatever job I wanted... There were many times when I was in primary school when they confiscated my books and told me to stop studying and go out and play with the neighbourhood kids."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly and smiled.
At that time, there was no way he would play with the kids from the neighborhood... After all, his small body contained a 22-year-old soul.
"Have you been reading since you were in primary school?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised when she heard this.
Confiscating books was something she couldn't imagine... After all, every student's parents wanted their children to study hard.
She couldn't help but think of Kurosawa Hikaru's performance in school.
Since being admitted to the University of Tokyo, Kurosawa Hikaru has been either in the classroom or in the library. He has excellent academic performance and is basically always reading and studying. He is a very quiet person.
Perhaps it is due to years of reading that he developed his gentle and sunny temperament, as well as a calm style of doing things.
"I thought it was boring to play with kids, it would be better to study hard."
"What is that? Aren't you too precocious?"
Ninomiya Chizuru imagined the scene where his parents confiscated his books and sent him out to play, and she couldn't help but laugh, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved.
In fact, compared to her peers, she was already relatively precocious, but even so, she was very playful when she was a child.
Her parents began to control her life and friends from a young age, and even investigated the family conditions of the children she played with.
Chizuru, this child's parents are very poor, so don't play with her. Even when her friends come to see her, she will frown as soon as she sees them, and directly scold and drive them away.
Qianhe, that child's family is well off, and his father is the chairman of a listed company. You should go and play with him.
These two sentences became the shadow of her childhood... Even until now, it is hard to forget.
She has very few friends because she doesn't want to make friends with the ones her parents picked for her out of rebelliousness.
Over the years, Runa has been her only good friend.
She was able to play with Runa and know him as a close friend for so many years thanks to Runa's family being neither poor nor wealthy, just enough to pass the test.
The most important reason is that Runa has a warm personality and is very outgoing. I like her very much and want to make friends with her. Even though her parents are a little scary, I will still come to play with her again and again.
