Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.

While Johnny & Associates, Tsuburaya Productions, and Shin Chuang Hua were working tirelessly and at high intensity for immense wealth, what was that ruthless person who single-handedly created such a win-win situation doing?

He is also working hard for his immense wealth.

"Mr. Sakurada, are you sure you won't interfere with our company's operational decisions?"

"Of course, I make indie games, not mobile games, so I won't give orders randomly. For this investment, I only need to discuss shareholding and dividends; everything else is negotiable."

"Is that so..."

Looking at the young people on the other side of the screen, who were clearly interested and only about ten years older than him, Jun Sakurada's smile grew even more delightful.

"So? How about you consider it? A multi-million dollar investment that can be available immediately can help you get through this final cash crunch before the game launch, and it won't interfere with any management."

"I think you'd be hard-pressed to find better terms in the current market, right?"

"Mr. Chung Kei-cheung, Mr. Wong Yat-fung?"

Indeed, after receiving his first revenue share of approximately 300 million yen from Steam, Jun Sakurada immediately took the money and found the best investment option he could find.

There was nothing he could do. As a college student who knew almost nothing about finance and investment in his previous life, Jun Sakurada could only grasp investment opportunities in the areas he was familiar with.

Fortunately, even with this, Jun Sakurada was able to remember a few excellent investment targets.

First up is Card Game, a manufacturer of Ultraman cards that specializes in selling to children. Although it was criticized by CCTV five years later, its ability to make money is undeniable.

With just one product, Ultraman cards, they can earn billions of yuan in profits every year, a money-making ability that is astonishing.

Kids' money is really tempting...

However, by the time Jun Sakurada regained his memory in 2018, Kagame had already obtained the copyright license for Ultraman cards from Shin-Chuang Hua, so he had no chance to intercept it.

After nearly a year of hard work and struggle, he finally created "Yokai Survivor" and earned his first pot of gold. At that point, only one avenue remained for him:

Hypergryph.

Without a doubt, Hypergryph and their Arknights are one of the most remarkable and almost unrepeatable miracles in the history of Chinese second-generation games, and also one of the biggest contributors to bringing second-generation games and even the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) culture to the mainstream.

What's even more interesting is that, compared to miHoYo next door, which had already created a successful game series like "Honkai Impact" at this point in time and had a strong cash flow, they didn't care about Jun Sakurada's paltry sums.

Hypergryph, at this point, had not yet been able to prove itself.

In 2019, before the game's launch, Hypergryph only received an initial investment of 800,000 RMB from Yostar, meaning their funding was far from abundant.

The only valuable things I have are the Arknights game license and the relatively good pre-registration data from the previous closed beta.

No one, including themselves, would have imagined that this niche anime-style tower defense game developer could create a commercial miracle by raking in 600 million RMB in revenue in its first month of release.

Investing now is not particularly difficult.

In just a few months, once Arknights is launched and the first month's revenue is presented to the world, Jun Sakurada's investment will bring in a terrifying return of ten or even a hundred times.

Lacking money and unsure of his future prospects, yet possessing immense potential, he could experience a leap in value in just a few months—a business opportunity that's hard to find anywhere else in the world.

So, after earning his first sum of money, Jun Sakurada, without hesitation, took the money and his sincerity and, after several twists and turns, found the founding team of Hypergryph.

There will definitely be difficulties at the beginning. The young people at Hypergryph are very confident in their game and are unwilling to easily sell their equity, let alone relinquish decision-making power.

But Jun Sakurada's sincerity was also very strong.

They only invest and receive dividends, without participating in any decision-making process, seizing power, or interfering.

As long as they agree, 15 million RMB in cash will be immediately transferred into their account, enough for them to conduct several more rounds of promotional adjustments for Arknights.

Moreover, Jun Sakurada is not exactly an unknown figure. A fifteen-year-old boy who can sell over a million copies of his independent game single-handedly is a top-tier genius.

"Mr. Sakurada, you really don't need to—" Umineko's words were interrupted by Sakurada Jun's light laugh: "Really, you don't need to."

"I don't want your decision-making power or Yostar's Japanese server distribution rights. I'm just here to invest in the studios I believe in, that's all."

"In the past, I would have used this money to expand my own game studio, but unfortunately I have to focus on my acting career in the short term, so I chose to invest the money in a company that I believe in and that has a promising future."

"If I had to say what I want... when you guys at Hypergryph are recruiting later, could you help me find two reliable college students?"

"And to Yostar, when Arknights releases its Japanese server, feel free to contact me to be their spokesperson, I'll offer you all a discounted price!"

Jun Sakurada gave the representative of Yosei a bright smile, and the latter quickly returned the smile.

This is the fourth round of negotiations in this period, and the basic investment framework has been determined. Jun Sakurada will use 15 million to exchange for about 15% of Hypergryph's shares.

Today's meeting is merely the final confirmation between the two sides.

On the Eagle Horn side, Hai Mao and Huang Yifeng pretended to discuss it for a while, but in the end they all nodded in agreement.

After all, at this point in time, angel investors like Jun Sakurada, who are like coal mine owners, are indeed rare, and their sincerity is truly remarkable.

Since that's the case, why not take advantage of this opportunity? Use the funds to do a couple more rounds of promotion and marketing; who knows, we might make even more money later.

Thus, with both sides agreeing, the investment officially entered the process. Once the subsequent contract procedures are completed, Jun Sakurada will become an investor in Hypergryph without decision-making power, contributing 15 million yen.

"An angel investment with a 100x return... perfect."

"It's a pity I transmigrated too late, otherwise if I had spent money on miHoYo a few years earlier, it would have been a huge money-making project..." Jun Sakurada stretched, looking satisfied.

We've finally reached an agreement. In another month, after Hypergryph completes another round of testing, the price might not be what it is now.

If nothing unexpected happens, starting from the second half of this year, Jun Sakurada will be able to receive astronomical dividends from Hypergryph every year without doing anything.

With this speed at which he makes money, he'd like to see who in Johnny's Entertainment, or even the entire Japanese entertainment industry, can even see his taillights!

Just as Sakurada Jun was celebrating his victory with great satisfaction, a phone call from Takizawa Hideaki made his expression turn strange.

"Moshi moshi? What happened... What do you mean Nagano-senpai was in a car accident? A minor collision where the other party was fully at fault?"

"And the vehicle was rented by a band, and the name was...Hitorie?"

After hanging up the phone, Jun Sakurada felt a little dizzy.

Hiroshi Nagano in a car accident?

The car accident hero is back in action?
