I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 204 Simulations And A Dryad

"Master! I have the results!" Sylph's voice reverberated throughout the animation studio of Theo's manor.

"Show me!" Theo replied with excitement.

He felt that it was so fun to give these tasks to Sylph.

She was the perfect assistant!

As soon as he said that, the contents of the screen in front of him changed.

Now it showed the data of the two simulations that Theo asked Sylph to do.

The first one was about how much he would have to invest in his animation studio this month.

And he was pleasantly surprised as he saw the simulation.

"It seems that overthought these things." Theo commented with a joyful smile.

Theo was happy because he would not have to invest much money in the studio this month!

Previously, he thought that he would have extra costs to pay to start the production of their first anime.

But it was only when he saw the simulation made Sylph that he would not have to pay for that.

But why?

Because started the production and drew the first steps of production all by himself!

Some people may remember the explanation of how the production of an anime is made.

Exists steps that are needed to be followed.

For example, the creation of the script, design of characters, production of the storyboards, and so on.

These steps are essential, and the majority of the studios spend a great amount of time and money on these steps.

But in Theo's case, he did all these things by himself!

At first, he just wanted to shorten the time of production, but he forgot that he would also save money by doing that.

But obviously, the amount of money invested would only be less because Theo was delaying some projects related to the studio.

For example, the purchase of the anime rights for his streaming service that he asked Ryoko to delay until January.

But even then there were still things Theo needed to invest in.

The opening of the branch studio in Sakura City, the sound special effect team, and so on.

However, as he saw the simulation made by Sylph he saw that he would only have to invest 1 million dollars in these projects.

This was much less than he expected.

That's why he was so happy as he saw the data.

"This way I can have time to gather money to pay for the more expensive investments!" Theo commented with a contented smile.

"Now let's see the other simulation." He said as he proceeded to look at the second simulation made by Sylph.

This one was about the expansion of the printing factory of the Fuji Co. to a capacity of printability of 5 million copies per month.

And Theo was pleasantly surprised again as he looked at the data of the simulation.

The money he had to pay for that expansion was significantly less than he expected.

But after thinking about it for a while he understood why.

The number that Sylph found in her simulation was 1.26 million dollars.

Which was less when compared to the 1.5 million that Theo and Sayuri invested to establish the printing factory with a printability capacity of 2 million copies per month.

But that 1.5 million was included in the purchase of the building, permits, and other things.

That's why the amount was less now.

Even considering the fact they would more than double the capacity of printability.

Because now the capacity was 2 million copies, but in the simulation, this capacity would rise to 5 million copies per month.

An increase of 150%.

"This way I can do much more than just increasing 150% the capacity of printability of the factory."

"But just increasing 150% the capacity is not the wisest decision because we will find ourselves in the same predicament when we do not meet the demand."Â

"The most optimal decision was to expand the capacity of printability to at least 10 million copies per month." Theo pondered in a low voice.

"Even if we don't sell that amount of copies per month, we will be able to meet the demand of copies asked by the bookstores. and the readers." He reasoned.

"It's decided then!"

"We will increase the printing capacity of the factory to 10 million copies per month. And if to increase to 5 million copies the amount invested is 1.26 million dollars, then to increase to 10 million copies the amount invested will be more or less 4.04 million dollars." Theo calculated inside his head.

"And because Sayuri has 10% of the shares, she has to pay for 10% of that money. So, in the end, I will have to invest 3.63 million dollars." Theo came up with this number after thinking for a while.

With his enhanced intellect, he did not found difficult to do these calculations inside his head.

"Even though that's a lot of money, I will get much more when the capacity of printability is increased." Theo nodded in approval.

He predicted that he would earn much more profits in December when the printing factory finished the expansion.

And that's because he wasn't even considering the profit he would get from the merchandise sales that would start in December.

Theo and Sayuri invested 2.5 million to open a new section in the factory that was exclusive for the production of merchandise.

Shirts, hats, pillows, sweaters, and so on.

Theo knew that most of the people who liked his mangas would flock to buy these products.

Theo had no idea how much they would sell and the profit they would get at the end of the month, but he was certain that it would not be a small number.

And the best thing was that the Fuji Jump would not have to share the profit of the sold merchandise as it did with the sold mangas.

That was because Fuji Co. created a website that exclusive for the sales of these products.

The website information was printed together with manga covers that would be released this month, so everyone who read their mangas would see that there was merchandise from their favorite manga being sold.

The readers would only have to access the website to order any merchandise related to the mangas from the Fuji Jump.

Theo would only have to pay for the cost of production and operation for the manufacture of these products.

He was eager to know at the end of the month how much they sold.

"Sylph, send the money to the company bank account for them to pay the salaries and the bill." Theo gave the order after he gathered his thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he figured that did not have reasons to be worried about money this month.

So, he decided to send money to his managers for them to handle the payment of the month's expenditures.

"Oh, and send a message to Sam that the money to pay the bills is in the company's bank account." Theo asked.

Sam was the one who controlled the payment and allocation of money of the three companies under the Umbrella Corporation.

The only one that she didn't handle was Theo's restaurant.

"Oh, and don't forget to warn June too that the money is in the restaurant's bank account." He asked as he knew that Sylph knew that she should send money to the restaurant's bank account.

"Send an extra 120 thousand dollars to the BlueCloud bank account. And tell Haruto that this money is for him to invest in publicity." Theo gave her another order.

He knew that Sylph had no problems in receiving and executing all these orders.

"Oh, and also tell him that I want him to start research about potential cities to open a branch of the shop. He has one month to complete this task." Theo asked when he remembered the task he thought to give Haruto.

Sylph was executing all these orders as she jumped around the screen of Theo's computer.

At that moment, Sylph executed multiple orders.

And the managers under Theo received a message from Theo's assistant.

Named Sylph.

The Dryad AI Butler showed her might to the world again.
