Chapter 171 Two and a half years
At this moment, even Chizuru Ninomiya, who was calm, mature and steady, could not hold back her excitement.
Not just because she gets to do what she wants, but because she doesn't have to wait as long.
Under normal circumstances, she would have to wait at least two and a half years for Kurosawa to graduate from Tokyo University.
"How big will it be when fully grown?"
Seeing her eyes shining, Kurosawa was a little surprised and asked.
From this point of view, what he said just now unintentionally hit Miss Ninomiya's switch.
"If I want them to ignore me, I just want to make more money than them."
"What's your parents' annual salary?"
It was the first time for Kurosawa Hikaru to see her so energetic, and he was also curious.
"Bankers don't care about their annual salary. They mainly rely on investment, dividends, and various consulting commissions. Their total income last year was 8 billion. Based on 30% of the equity, if the turnover of the part-time firm depends entirely on you, our annual income will be As long as the profit is 26 billion yen..."
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about this issue for a while. Her fiery heart gradually cooled down, and her somewhat excited expression also calmed down.
It's not that simple to make a profit of 26 billion.
I'm afraid that by the time the Zero Hour Office reaches this level, two and a half years will have passed.
You know, if Kurosawa Hikaru alone earns 26 billion, he is already on the same level as the top of the world's music scene.
Even though Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills and talent were the best she had ever seen, he could even sing. But he has just started. If he wants to reach the top of the music industry, it will be impossible for him to reach the top without five or ten years.
"Eight billion?"
When Hikaru Kurosawa learned about her parents' annual income, she couldn't help but be speechless.
Although he could feel that Miss Ninomiya's parents were executives at Neon Third Bank and were bankers, so they were definitely very wealthy.
But I never expected that it would be so high.
No wonder her parents didn't let her learn piano... How much money can you make playing the piano?
You know, the most profitable pianist has an annual income of 3 billion.
As strong as Miss Runa, she was trained together with Magic Star Agency. Neon's top star, Rikka Fujiwara, has an annual income of only over one billion.
To be honest, although the market size of Neon's entertainment industry is quite large, in terms of money and status, it really cannot compare with Europe and the United States, as well as the place where he lived in his previous life.
After all, he had seen too many sky-high film remunerations in his previous life... For example, 1 Shuang equals 160 million, which is more than two months' income, and the daily income is as high as 2.08 million. If converted into Japanese yen, that means he can earn more than 40 million yen every day, with an annual income of up to 10 billion.
"They are all graduates of the Economics Department of Dongda University. They have solid theoretical knowledge, accurate vision in venture capital, and wide connections. Coupled with the intelligence network, nearly 30 years of operation has snowballed, and they have long been wealthy. They have freedom. I still work as a senior executive in a bank for the sake of connections, being at the forefront of venture capital, and also for waiting for me to take over.”
Ninomiya Chizuru's heart cooled down, and she suppressed her thoughts and impulses about resigning and becoming a teacher again.
In fact, when she was in college, she had thought about getting rid of their control and tongue by making money better than them.
However, she is very good, and so are her parents, who even entered the financial world more than 20 years earlier than her.
After nearly thirty years of leadership, it is not easy for her to catch up.
Over the years, she has made a lot of money through various venture capital investments and stock trading, but this amount is simply not enough.
Even though she was a teacher at Dongda University, with such a high social status, her parents would always ask her not to be a teacher, and asked her to quickly work at Jiuye Bank.
If she had another job and identity, she might have been forced by her parents to become a banker.
"Actually, you made a miscalculation... Even if you can't surpass your parents, you can still do it if your annual income can reach more than one billion."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she was disheartened and no longer full of passion, so he comforted her.
Maybe you can't compare to your parents, but your annual income is as high as one billion. This doesn't mean you have no future, right?
"With annual revenue of one billion, the firm's annual profit must be over three billion."
"It is 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 music from his previous life, and Miss Runa's operation, it was absolutely possible to achieve this level in this era of explosive traffic.
Moreover, his current main focus is piano. Piano knows no borders. It is very likely that he will break out of Neon, enter the European and American markets, and directly earn US dollars.
"I know, with your talent and Runa's packaging, this will happen sooner or later... I'm sorry, I just lost my composure."
Hearing this comfort, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, then took a deep breath, waved his hands, and sent the hair that fell in front of him behind him, and then regained his composure.
In fact, she is very optimistic about the prospects and room for growth of Zero Hour Firm. Even if she cannot become an industry leader, it is definitely possible to become a top firm.
Especially after Hikaru Kurosawa became famous on the Internet with his "Croatian Rhapsody", this speculation was strengthened.
It was only a matter of time before the annual profit of the zero-hour firm increased.
But this is something in the future, not now, nor in the near future. It will take a long time to bear fruit.
By the time their company rises, Kurosawa Hikaru should have graduated.
Before that, they were still in a teacher-student relationship, and only time could change that.
"..."
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was driving, looked at her sideways and found that she had returned to her usual cold and calm state. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he had no idea.
I have to say that Miss Ninomiya's parents are really strong.
As a top student who graduated from the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo, and a banker who is profit-seeking and has a sharp eye, it is understandable that he can reach such a height after so many years of hard work.
For a moment, the atmosphere that was just relaxed and happy fell to the freezing point.
The process from hope to hopelessness is too short, making it difficult for people to laugh.
The car kept moving forward, but the two people seemed to stay in place at this moment.
In fact, Kurosawa Hikaru asked her if she liked being a teacher just now, in fact, he also wanted to tear this relationship apart.
After all, there is a teacher-student relationship. Miss Ninomiya will be worried when getting along with him, and there is no way to be open-hearted.
"Speaking of which, what kind of people are your parents?"
After a while, Ninomiya Chizuru completely calmed down her disappointment and helplessness, and found that the atmosphere in the car was not very good, so she took the initiative to find a topic.
"A loving couple who sell oden?"
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and continued.
"I know, I mean their personalities."
As his teacher, Ninomiya Chizuru naturally knew the situation of his family, but it was limited to the knowledge in the data, and there was no actual contact, or even no conversation.
Because Kurosawa Hikaru performed so well in school, he was in good health and never had any problems, and there was no need to notify his parents and discuss anything.
"They are very good to me and have been proud of me since I was a child. No matter what I asked for, they would try their best to satisfy me and give me the best."
Talking about his family, Kurosawa Hikaru was also a little emotional.
He had the mind of an adult since he was a child, and he decided to learn from his mistakes in this life and must get into a good university. He started to be the king of the test paper when he was two years old.
He has been obedient, sensible, polite and mature since childhood, and he has always been the top student in his 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 his parents know it too.
After all, he has been studying day and night since he was a child, and has made countless efforts and hardships. He can be said to be the king of the paper king... But when he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, there were still six people in the same class who were better than him.
"That's good, do your parents care what job you do?"
Having the opportunity to know his parents, Ninomiya Chizuru was also very curious.
"No, they let me do whatever job I want... When I was in elementary school, they confiscated my books many times and asked me not to study and go out to play with the children in the neighborhood."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly and smiled.
At that time, how could he play with the children in the neighborhood... After all, his small body is filled with a 22-year-old soul.
"Have you been studying since you were in elementary school?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised to hear this.
Confiscating books, this is something she couldn't imagine... After all, every student's parents hope that their children will study hard.
She couldn't help but think of Kurosawa Hikaru's performance in school.
Since he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, Kurosawa Hikaru was either in the classroom or in the library. He had excellent academic performance and basically read books all the time. He was a very quiet person.
It may be because of years of reading that he developed his gentle and sunny temperament and calm style of doing things.
"I thought it was boring to play with children, so it's better to read and study hard."
"What is that? You are too precocious, aren't you?"
Ninomiya Chizuru imagined the scene of his parents confiscating his books and letting him go out to play, and she couldn't help but be amused, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
In fact, compared with her peers, she was already relatively precocious, but even so, she loved to play when she was a child.
Her parents began to control her life and friends since she was a child, and even investigated the family conditions of the children she played with.
Chizuru, the parents of this child are very poor, don't play with her. When her friends come to see her, they frown and scold and drive her away.
Chizuru, the child's family is well-off, and his father is the chairman of a listed company. Go play with him.
These two sentences became the shadow of her childhood... Even until now, it is hard to forget.
She has few friends, because she doesn't want to make friends with the friends her parents chose for her out of rebellious psychology.
For so many years, Runa is her only good friend.
She can play with Runa and know her as a close friend for so many years, thanks to Runa's family conditions. It is not poor, nor is it particularly rich. It is just at the passing line, not too high or too low.
The most important reason is that Runa has a warm personality and is very familiar. People like her very much and want to make friends with her. Even if her parents are a little scary, they will still come to play with her again and again.
