Chapter 692: Annual Meeting
Aegis Cloud Company is a new company that is made by Haru that gives a service of cloud computing, IT security, firewall, and everything that is related to protection in the IT world.
Haru mostly gave the responsibility to Seri and checked the result from the data, but he had to admit that he was really glad to employ her.
Then the meeting started with the Mockingbird Game Company talking about the result of their game.
Haru had given them five games which they had spent two months to finish and they had already published it on the app store giving a very good result. He wanted to develop more games that were more advanced, but he thought, at least he needed to wait until the smartphone had become popularized further.
"At least in the middle of 2010..." Haru thought, but he also told the CEO of Mockingbird that he would go to the company to talk about the new game.
Kosaka, who heard the result of Haru"s smartphone game company, was dumbfounded since she didn"t expect them to be able to generate that much money.
The second one was the railway company which was the most stable company in his hands.
Haru had changed the previous CEO and looked at the result of the CEO that he had chosen. What he hated most was corruption. He didn"t mind giving more wages and dividends to his people, but he didn"t tolerate corruption and this railway company had always been full of corruption.
That was why he had set up a team that was formed by Seri to manage the finances of his railway company.
Haru had become a capitalist and as a good capitalist, he needed to give both carrots and stick on his people.
Listening to the report of the CEO of the railway"s company, he nodded and was quite satisfied. He also thought to renovate some parts of the railway since he had become the new owner.
The meeting continued and the next one was Instagram, there were both Nasa and the CEO who was being chosen by both of them.
Haru had the intention to sell some of his shares on Instagram and he wanted to sell it at the highest price.
Of course, Nasa had also 10% shares on Instagram and if he wanted to sell it Haru didn"t really mind. He was his friend and of course, Haru was very kind to him since this guy was a genius.
Nasa felt quite complicated and dizzy since he didn"t expect that his net worth would keep increasing without even noticing it. In the past, he had never thought too much when he was working with him and it had never changed. He thought to let go of his shares since he felt that it was a bit too much, but Haru stopped him telling him that it would be his gift for him after he had married his loved one.
After that, Haru also told them that he would come to talk about a new app that they would develop again.
After the report of Instagram was over, the next one was Aegis Cloud Company. This company had become a rising star in the IT world since it was very stable and the security was very top-notch with Ritsu, who helped to manage it.
Once again, he was very thankful to Ritsu and wasn"t sure what to give to her since she had done a lot of things to him. He remembered Ritsu"s wish was to fall in love, but he wasn"t comfortable giving her to a male artificial intelligence. He shook his head and decided to think about it later since he wasn"t in a hurry and wasn"t sure about the solution to this wish.
The fifth one was Utaha"s father who reported the result to the newspaper company.
Utaha"s father, who had been listening to the meeting, couldn"t help but be proud of his son-in-law.
Ayase (head of Haru"s investment company) who was Utaha"s father"s friend was speechless, but he was quite jealous of Utaha"s father since his friend"s daughter had gotten the heart of Haru. He suddenly thought about his daughter and wondered whether it was possible to match them. He didn"t think that it was wrong for Haru to date both of his daughters and his friend"s daughter. "If that really happens then it is good..." He remembered that there was something known as "hare-kon" on one of the prefectures in this country that made Haru be able to marry more than one person.
Utaha"s father didn"t know what Ayase was thinking and reported that the number of circulation of the newspaper had increased from 900,000 to 1,5 million.
That meant that 15% of people in Tokyo read Haru"s newspaper and he could affect their voices.
It was also the reason why there were a lot of politician"s children who wanted to get to know Haru at his school since with such a number their parents" election would be guaranteed.
Utaha"s father had also told him that he had started to buy more newspapers around other prefectures and there were more people who came to visit their newspaper website.
Haru nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle."
Utaha"s father waved his hand and said, "You don"t need to worry, it is also for my grandchildren in the future."
"......"
Everyone was speechless when they heard it since it was an open secret that Utaha was his girlfriend making the CEO of the railways feel jealous.
"If only I had a daughter....."
The last or the sixth one would be the Media Factory which was his publishing company which was combined with the "NicoNico" website.
Machida was on the side of the CEO of this company and she was quite excited when she was also part of this company since she could see how bright this company was.
NicoNico was the number one video hosting website in this country, and it started to target put market overseas such as Korea, Southeast Asia, etc..
Of course, they had also wanted to make this website to become the number one video hosting website in this world.
Haru nodded and didn"t hide his intention to buy a football club in premier language, and NBA team in the United States so it could be used to popularize "NicoNico" in the United States and Europe.
"!!!"
They were surprised when they heard it, but they became even more excited.
Haru told them to calm down since he was in the negotiation and he hadn"t owned those teams. He started to ask them about the "Viking Weekly Shounen" which would be published tomorrow.
"We have done our publication, and we can only wait for the result tomorrow."
Haru nodded and could only wait for tomorrow. He didn"t talk with Ayase and didn"t announce the report of the investing company since it was better to keep it a secret and he also wanted to do another hunt to get more money. He hadn"t used the money that he had gotten from his hunt before, and it could be used for his ammunition for another hunt.
The only thing that he was very lazy about was the tax and thought that it was better to use all of his money as soon as possible.
When the meeting was over, everyone went back, but Ayase and Haru stayed talking about another hunt.
"How much leverage is there this time?" Ayase asked.
"Just 25 times, Uncle," Haru said.
Ayase felt strange since Haru was usually very reckless.
"There"s a lot of chance in the future, especially on both gold and the Euros," Haru said.
Ayase nodded and said, "I understand. I"ll handle it."
"I"ll tell you the details later," Haru said.
"I know..." Ayase thought for a bit and asked, "Boss, can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
"Have you thought about opening a harem marriage?" Ayase asked.
"....."
The meeting was over, and Haru was about to go back together with Seri and Ritsu.
"How about we go out to eat together?" Haru asked.
"Why not?" Seri nodded.
"Seri, don"t you want to live at the boss"s house?" Ritsu suddenly asked.
"What?!" Seri was startled.
"There"s a lot of room in Haru"s house and it gets spooky when someone doesn"t live in that place." Ritsu looked at Seri and said, "It"s better than your apartment."
"But...." Seri looked at Haru.
Haru nodded and said, "If you don"t mind, then I don"t mind, but is it alright?"
"What do you mean?" Seri asked.
"Don"t you have a boyfriend? Isn"t it quite strange for you to live in another man"s home when you have a boyfriend?" Haru asked.
"No, I don"t have a boyfriend! I"m single!" Seri said.
"Really? You"re so beautiful," Haru said and felt a bit surprised.
Seri blushed and was happy, but then she sighed. "I don"t plan to have a relationship since I want to focus on my career first."
"Well...." Haru nodded and said, "There"s a lot of rooms in my house and if you want then you can move there."
"Thank you," Seri said since she thought it would be faster to do the job if they lived together.
Ritsu smiled looking at their interaction.
*Vibrate!*
Haru suddenly noticed his phone vibrating and opened it. "Sora, what"s wrong?"
"Haru, come back in a hurry! G - Grandfather is coming!!!!" Sora said with panic.
"..."
