Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

He kept his head down from the moment he came in, too shy to speak.

Seeing her like this, Kitahara Makoto stepped forward and gently hugged her.

Overwhelmed by the intense masculinity, and knowing that he was her idol whom she had been longing for day and night, Yui Aragaki felt a wave of dizziness.

When she came to her senses again, she found herself lying in bed, and she was only one step away from success.

She quickly grabbed Kitahara Makoto's hand.

"and many more!"

"what happened?"

Kitahara Shin raised his head somewhat anxiously.

The arrow is already on the bowstring, surely they won't not fire it now?

Yui Aragaki blushed and turned her head away.

"Turn off the lights first."

The next second, snap, the room went dark, and then everything proceeded smoothly...

Chapter 59: The Wolf is Coming

I spent two days cuddling with Yui Aragaki at her house.

After Yui Aragaki's parents returned from their trip.

Kitahara Shin went back to the villa.

……

this day.

Kitahara Makoto was writing his manuscript at home.

Suddenly, he received an invitation from Shinichiro Seto, the president of Fuji Television, to have dinner with him.

Considering that the other party is the president of one of the five major private television stations in Japan.

Furthermore, the collaboration between "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" and Fuji Television was very pleasant.

Kitahara Shin accepted the invitation.

We drove to a high-end private restaurant.

As soon as I entered, I saw two middle-aged people in their fifties or sixties.

One of them was a bit chubby and had a receding hairline.

The thinner one wore glasses and had his hair slicked back.

"Teacher Kitahara, welcome, welcome! My name is Shinichiro Seto!"

The slightly overweight middle-aged man stood up and greeted them with a smile.

Kitahara Shin politely shook hands with the other party.

"Hello, President Seto, I am Kitahara Makoto."

"Who is this?"

Kitahara Makoto looked at the gaunt middle-aged man beside him.

The man introduced himself.

"Hello, Mr. Kitahara. My name is Yoshie Matsuoka, and I am the president of Toho Co., Ltd."

Upon hearing that the person was the president of a film giant like Toho, Kitahara Shinya politely shook hands with him.

"It's President Matsuoka, hello, hello."

"Gentlemen, please take your seats."

Shinichiro Seto smiled and gestured with his hand.

The three of them then sat down at the dining table.

113 After the waiter brought the dishes.

The three began to frequently clink glasses and exchange toasts.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Seto Shinichiro seemed to say something unintentionally.

"Taihara-sensei, your NicoNico anime is doing really well lately!"

"..."

A strange light flashed in Kitahara Makoto's eyes.

However, he also knew that he had not deliberately hidden his relationship with NicoNico Animation.

With the methods of these large companies and conglomerates, it would be easy to find him.

Kitahara Shin said with a smile.

"President Seto is joking. My small company is just a small fry. Compared to the five major television stations like Fuji Television, it's nothing. It's just a cheap trick that can't be brought to the table."

"Ha ha……"

Seto Shinichiro chuckled and then said, "Teacher Kitahara is too modest."

Which company didn't start as a small company?

"Even Fuji Television started as an unknown small company, and it was through hard work and development that it has achieved its current scale."

"And now, I see the same enormous potential in NicoNico that Fuji TV had in the past."

"So today, we invited Mr. Kitahara to ask whether NicoNico Animation accepts investment. If so, Fuji Television is very willing to help NicoNico Animation's development."

"Our Dongbao is the same."

Yoshie Matsuoka chimed in from the side:

"With Toho's capabilities, we can absolutely help NicoNico quickly become the undisputed number one video website in all of Japan!"

"hehe."

Kitahara Shinichi sneered inwardly.

Those two guys are good at talking.

What helps NicoNico animation?

Isn't it because they saw the popularity of NicoNico anime, saw a potential profit opportunity, and wanted to get a piece of the pie?

However, he did not reject their financing request on the spot.

This is a situation like crying wolf.

He had actually foreseen this a long time ago.

After all, doing business can't always be smooth sailing.

Once you succeed, others will see the potential for profit and will definitely follow suit.

Or like Seto Shinichiro and Matsuoka Yoshie, who are now coming to try and get a piece of the pie.

And for this situation.

He is not opposed to it.

In this society, it's impossible to eat alone.

Even great people have said that.

Make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

One person goes it alone and wants to eat all the food.

The consequence was that he was beaten to death by a group of people.

They've created a massive, all-encompassing net to surround you, leaving you with nowhere to go but nowhere to retreat.

So even without Seto Shinichiro, Matsuoka Yoshie.

Kitahara Makoto will also actively recruit others to join him later.

After all, IPOs, financing, opening overseas branches... all these require the help of partners.

A strong partner can help a company solve many problems.

It can protect businesses and safeguard the interests of founders, preventing them from being suddenly exploited.

Kitahara Shinichi set a bottom line in his mind (cecj), and then spoke.

"invest."

"It's lacking in some ways, but it's not lacking in others either."

"As you all know, I've made some money through writing books, so the company isn't short of small sums of money, but it is short of big sums!"

Upon hearing Kitahara Shinichiro's words, Seto Shinichiro and Matsuoka Yoshie exchanged a glance.

They knew Kitahara was preparing to make an exorbitant demand.

However, both of them are optimistic about the prospects of the new direction of 'video websites'.

Therefore, no one objected to Kitahara Makoto's words.

"Then, President Kitahara, what valuation do you plan to give NicoNico Animation?" Shinichiro Seto asked.

"One billion US dollars, which can give each of you two a 5% share!"

"This is impossible!"

As soon as Kitahara Shinichiro finished speaking, Seto Shinichiro immediately retorted.

"One billion US dollars? That's too expensive. That's equivalent to more than 100 billion yen. Even if you add the copyrights to One Piece, Naruto, and Dragon Ball, NicoNico Animation isn't worth that much."

"President Seto, you're mistaken. Isn't your desire to invest in NicoNico Animation because you're optimistic about the video website industry and the future of NicoNico Animation?"

Kitahara retorted, "We're discussing investment, not negotiating mortgage loans with a bank. How can we determine the valuation based on the company's existing assets?!"

"Even so, a billion dollars is still too high!"

Yoshie Matsuoka, who was standing to the side, shook his head and said.

“We’ll value NicoNico at a maximum of $100 million, and then we’ll take a 10% share from each of them.”

"That's impossible! One billion dollars, not a penny less!"

Kitahara Makoto said very firmly.

In his vision, NicoNico Animation will be positioned to compete with Netflix, a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Even if we unfortunately fail in the end.

It only became Bilibili in Japan.

That's a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

Now, a billion dollars can get you on board.

In other words, NicoNico Animation is just starting out and needs the help of Toho and Fuji Television.

Otherwise, how could Kitahara Shin so easily share such a good thing with them?!

Kitahara Shinichi is sticking to his $1 billion valuation and refusing to budge.

However, Shinichiro Seto and Yoshie Matsuoka could only offer a maximum valuation of $300 million.

There is a difference of $600 million between the two, which translates to a huge gap of 66 billion yen.

The three are inherently unequal in terms of valuation.

In the end, they could only part on bad terms.

After Kitahara Makoto left.

Seto Shinichiro and Matsuoka Yoshie's expressions instantly turned cold.

Shinichiro Seto began by saying:
