I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 202 Profit Reports: November II

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Inside the animation studio of the mansion, a silver-haired boy could be seen looking attentively at the screen of the computer.

Theo was inspecting the advertisement report about the BlueCloud Coffee Shop that Haruto sent him.

He saw that Haruto hired an influencer that lived in the city to advertise the shop.

Haruto put advertisements on billboards all over the city, he ordered for flyers to be distributed, and so on.

And the result was evident, Theo saw that Haruto observed an increase in people knowing about the shop.

And that was exactly what Theo wanted, he wanted everyone to know about his shop.

Because he knew that the more people knew about his shop, the more his brand would grow, and consequently the more profit he would get.

And that was seen clearly in the profit report that Haruto sent.

In October the BlueCloud Coffee Shop had a profit of 1.4 million dollars.

But the number rose in November.

Because in the report that Theo was seeing now, the BlueCloud Coffee Shop earned a profit of 1.62 million dollars.

An increase of more than 220 thousand dollars!

That's a 15% raise!

Some people may think it is a low number, but that's an amazing feat because the only thing different they did when compared to October was that they advertised the shop throughout the city.

Theo was ecstatic as he saw the numbers.

He already could see that his shop was taken roots in the hearts of the Elffire City citizens.

Even though Theo earned 1.62 million dollars, 500 thousand of that amount was destined to pay the costs of the shops.

Things like salaries, ingredients costs, rental fees, personalized products, and so on.

Theo would be left with 1.12 million dollars.

But he planned to give 120k to Haruto for him to keep advertising the coffee shop.

The key to being known was to persist and always be in the daily life of the potential clients.

So, Theo wanted people to keep seeing the advertisements to not forget about his coffee shop.

Although Theo wanted to give Haruto more money to invest in advertisements, he could not do that.

After all, he needed every bit of money he could get to put in motion his animation studio and the launch of his music album.

But even though Theo would not give much money to Haruto, the silver-haired man planned to give an important task to the head manager of the coffee shop.

To scout other cities!

Theo wanted Haruto to do thorough research about potential cities where they open a branch shop of the BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

That's right!

Theo finally was in motion to expand his company to other cities.

He knew that he had to start already or he would delay the expansion and growth of the coffee shop.

After all, he could see that his coffee shop had no room to grow in Elffire City anymore.

So, if he wanted to earn more money with the coffee shop, he needed to expand elsewhere.

Theo made a mental note to give Haruto this task.

"Sylph, tell Haruto that I'm sending him 600k dollars. 500k is to pay for the cost of operation and 120k is for him to keep advertising in the city." He ordered his assistant.

In the end, Theo would be left with 1 million dollars that came from his coffee shop.

"Yes, boss!" Sylph replied with a lively smile as she flickered throughout the screen of the computer.

As soon as Theo gave her the order, she had already sent Haruto the message.

"Show me the report of Fuji Jump Co." Theo asked as he looked at her image on the screen.

As soon as he said that, the report on the screen changed.

It now showed the monthly profit report of his publishing company.

The Fuji Jump was the company that earned him the most money so far.

In October, the company finished the construction of the printing factory that at the moment had the capacity of printing 2 million copies per month.

And Theo saw in the report that Sayuri sent him that the publishing house sold all copies available to be printed!

In other words, they sold 2 million copies!

That was an amazing feat for a publishing house that had just entered the national market.

That was due to the fact that the Fuji Jump released the second volume of the [Naruto] Manga.

Because half of that two million copies were copies of [Naruto] Manga Volume 2.

And 500k copies were of [Naruto] Manga Volume 1.

Therefore, in total the [Naruto] Manga sold 1.5 million copies. And Sayuri observed they not only sold more because the capacity of the printing factory did not meet the demand.

The [Hataraku Maou-sama] Manga sold 400 thousand copies which was an increase compared to the 300k copies of October. But that was to be expected because the second volume of this manga was also released.Â

And the [Sword Art Online] Novel only sold 100k copies in November which was a decrease when compared with October. But that was not due to the fact there didn't exist readers wanting to buy the novel. It was because the printing factory was so occupied printing [Naruto] and [Hataraku Maou-sama] copies that it didn't have room to print more copies of the [Sword Art Online] copies.

It was evident in Sayuri's report that they needed to expand the printing factory.

Theo read her recommendation about the expansion of the factory with a pondering look on his face.

He had to admit that Sayuri was right, if they wanted to become a big publishing company, they needed to have a much bigger capacity for printing.

Theo had these thoughts as he continued looking through the report.

In total, the Fuji Jump sold 1.9 million mangas and 100k light novels.

The price of a manga volume in the bookstores was 10 dollars per unit. And the price of a light novel was 5 dollars per unit.

Obviously, the Fuji Jump did not gain full profits.

The bookstores held 30% of the profit from the sales. And 20% of the profit was for the print cost of the copies.

In November, the Fuji Co. earned 19.5 million dollars.

But, 50% of that money was destined for the bookstores and the printing costs.

With that, the Fuji Jump was left with 9.75 million dollars.

That was an amazing number when compared with October's profit of 6.75 million dollars.

An increase of 3 million dollars!

45% raise!

But of these 9.75 million dollars, 1.75 million was destined to pay salaries and the bills of the company and printing factory had.

There was 8 million after paying all the costs, but 10% of that was destined for Sayuri as she owned 10% shares of the publishing house.

So, Sayuri would get 800 thousand dollars this month.

While Theo would get 7.2 million dollars.

Theo was ecstatic when he saw the number, it was so much more when compared to the last month.

In October, he 'only' got 4.5 million dollars.

But in November he got almost 3 million more compared to the last month.

Theo was mostly happy because he would not have to worry about the things he had to pay this month anymore.

With just the money that he got from the Fuji Co., he would be able to implement his plans.

But he didn't even see the profit of his other companies yet!

Theo's heart was beating faster in his chest.

He never earned so much money before.

He was just an orphan boy in his past life.

Theo never dreamed that one day he would be reading a report that his company earned him 7.2 million dollars!

His silver-moon eyes shone through the room.

The excitement on them could not be hidden.

Theo was even more excited about the reports of his other companies.

Would they be able to get him more money?
