After all, he is the president of a large company, and if you want to meet him, you usually need to make an appointment. Thinking of this, Ling also realized that she was a little reckless. But it doesn't matter, she is not in a hurry. It's just a whim of hers.
I was reminded of something called a mobile phone.
Just as Ling was thinking this, she didn't expect Aunt Yuanmei to come back early today.
"Did you miss me, Tomoyo? Oh, Reiya is here too."
If a normal child was asked this question, most would awkwardly answer "No". But Tomoyo said "Yes" sweetly without any hesitation, and the two kissed each other intimately.
Yuan Mei was a little surprised to learn that Ling had come to see her specially.
“It’s about the cell phone.”
"Cell phone? Oh, you mean a mobile phone." Looking at what Lingye took out of his hand, Yuanmei nodded in understanding.
The business scope of the Daidoji Group is mainly toys and children's clothing, including mobile phones, which is also a business attempt to make it easier for children in large families to communicate with each other.
The effect is not very good. The main reason is that the investment is too large. They are all laboratory products and have not yet been industrialized. The cost of a phone is several million. Children from large families do not lack this money, but after all, the audience is too small and there is no market at all.
If industrialization is desired, the initial investment is too large, and no one can see the future and understand the prospects of this technology. Even for the Daidoji Group, such an investment would be disastrous if it fails.
But Ling didn't have such concerns.
"I want to invest in mobile phones, inject capital into the R&D team and buy shares in the project. Is that okay?"
This was obviously a conversation between adults, but Yuan Mei was not sure if it was just a whim of the girl. After all, a nine-year-old child, even if she was indeed the only head of the Oshima family, had no legal capacity in civil matters.
"How much are you going to invest, Lingye?"
"Two billion."
Two billion yen? This number surprised Yuan Mei. This amount of money was a little too little to start a high-tech project. But as a kid's hobby, it was too much.
So she's serious?
“Are you really optimistic about this project?”
"Yes, 2 billion is the initial investment." Ling also knew that it was a pipe dream to complete the development of mobile phones and open up a huge market with only 2 billion. The future market would definitely not be taken over by the Oshima family, or the Daidoji family combined.
They are just early pioneers who get the first share of the pie.
The 2 billion was just a guarantee to the Daidoji Group, indicating that the Oshima family would provide a bottom line for the research and development. After seeing certain results, she would continue to invest the second and third 2 billion, so that Daidoji would not shelve the project and dare to continue to invest in development.
Ling also had many ideas about the mobile phone, but she knew nothing about its technology.
She uses her own money to provide funding for people who understand technology to continue research and development. She is an angel investor.
She does not ask for a big return on such an investment in the future, but just wants to make sure that the project will not lose money in the future. Compared to investing money in real estate and then watching the bubble come and collapse, this is undoubtedly safer.
When the "lost decade" arrived, even banks were not safe at all. Virtual finance was a blank sheet of paper, and a little bit of technological accumulation in exchange for patents that formed technological barriers was visible and tangible.
She wanted to have a real mobile phone when she was fifteen or sixteen, not when she was in her forties or fifties, but when she was still in high school like in her previous life. A mobile phone that could be used for chatting, taking photos and videos, playing games, and surfing the Internet.
Yuanmei felt that Ling was probably serious.
And the next day, she was even more certain of her seriousness.
As Lingya's guardian, Butler Kenno came to the company to find her early in the morning with a letter of intent, a check, a lawyer, and a letter from the Oshima family.
This is a formal business negotiation, and neither party has the intention of taking full advantage of the other party. There is room for maneuver and a friendly attitude, which is rarely seen in business negotiations.
"Lingye, do you really think you can make money by investing in mobile phones?"
Chishi was a little confused, as 20 billion was an astronomical figure for her.
Even though she was born in a wealthy family like the Daidoji family, she had never seen so much money. There might be some in the company's account, but it was not something a child like her could touch. The pocket money her mother usually gave her was only a few digits of Prince Shotoku - enough to buy film and print photos.
20 billion, that's Prince Shotoku tickets, enough to fill up a room.
"Of course, don't you think it's convenient to have a mobile phone to communicate?"
It is indeed very convenient, but mobile phones are too expensive, not everyone can afford one. In addition, Tomoyo doesn't know why Ling always calls 'mobile phones' 'mobile phones'. The device in your hand? But you can obviously hold other devices in your hand, such as cameras and video cameras.
When Tomoyo asked this, Ling also smiled meaningfully, and Tomoyo felt that the smile seemed to carry the flavor of memories.
"I think all mobile phones will have these functions in the future. You can take photos and videos at any time. If you want, you can also send the photos and videos to your friends at any time, or post them on the Internet for others to see."
"Ah?! That phone is awesome!"
Tomoyo was immediately convinced and agreed that if such a function was really realized, this would be the only machine to have!
The prospect of mobile phones described by Ling Ye is so attractive and desirable.
Mr. Takasu is worthy of being the company's top-level general producer. He completed the composition of the music score of "Don't Give Up" in just three days.
With the main theme already determined, this is not a difficult task, although it is not easy for amateurs either.
Whenever a certain emotion is needed, the corresponding musical instruments are used to perform it, raising or lowering the pitch, sometimes a chorus is needed, and sometimes a collision of melodies from different parts is needed, all of which are icing on the cake.
Just like the end of Go, it looks complicated, but there are actually not many correct paths. For Fujiwara Sawa and Toya Hiroyuki, they saw the end at a glance. However, ordinary fans still don't know why Kuroko resigned.
Of course, Takasu doesn’t dare to claim that he is at the pinnacle of the music industry, but he is still capable of adding icing on the cake.
Then he was more certain that this was a good song, especially when he composed the accompaniment and devoted himself to feeling the deeper emotions behind the music.
Don't give up, just four words can make people tremble.
Winning is difficult, but when you can't see the future, it takes even greater courage to keep trying. When and with what emotion did the singer say this?
It is easy and irresponsible to encourage others, but what about herself who said this?
He felt that what he said before, that the magical girl should not lose to the Clow Cards, was indeed too superficial. If he did not hold out hope, how could he impress others?
Only by becoming light can you bring light to others.
"The first audition will be during the rehearsal on Saturday. Before that, the company will let the band familiarize themselves with the accompaniment and complete the recording of the accompaniment, and give it to you for confirmation before Friday." Miss Dazhong informed on the phone.
Miss Dazhong is using a new mobile phone.
There were not many mobile phones in stock in Daidoji's toy research and development room, but Ling was already an investor in the project, so she withdrew one and gave it to Miss Ooshige for easy contact.
In an era when landline phones were not yet popular, mobile phones were indeed too new and novel. At first, Miss Dazhong didn't even dare to use her fingers to press the keys, for fear that if she broke them, she wouldn't be able to afford the compensation with her entire fortune - of course, she really couldn't afford the compensation with her entire fortune.
The three days before Friday were indeed enough time for a professional band to polish and complete the accompaniment of a song.
In fact, if they don't pursue the effect, they can just play on the spot with the new score. After all, the bands that can be hired by Sanmu Company to accompany the new music are all top in the music industry.
Ling was also looking forward to seeing a classic song from her previous life being reinterpreted in her hands.
With her assets, she didn't care about plagiarizing the works of another world for profit, nor did she intend to tie them to her own name. If you must ask who the composer of these songs is, it must be Gaia. It was his civilization that gave birth to these treasures.
Ling simply wanted to reproduce those classics, which might not be born again in this world. It would be a pity if she was the only one who knew about it.
Time passed quickly, and Ling got the tape with the accompaniment on Thursday night. The accompaniment was really good. Although it seemed a little different from the song she remembered, she couldn't say which was better or worse.
So she decided to ignore the differences.
The Yabo people did not stir up any trouble this week, and the calm days were worth cherishing. Or maybe this was just the calm before the storm.
"Hey, Beidou, I heard that Nan Xizi really likes the song 'Virgo'."
The patrol ended for the day, and Konno winked at Bokuto.
"It seems so." Beidou did see Nan Xizi's collection of tapes of the song "Virgo". If she hadn't had a mission at the last concert, she would have wanted to go.
"Listen to me, take Nan Xizi to the gym in Central Park on Saturday morning. As a man, you should be more proactive."
Without mentioning anything about being a man, Beidou automatically filtered it out. What puzzled him was what Konno said.
"Central Park? Is there a concert there? I haven't heard about it."
"Hey, you can listen to me for sure. That's gossip that other people don't know."
Beidou asked again, but Konno was unwilling to say more and was always mysterious.
Then, it was Saturday.
Chapter 152 The Fool
When I woke up early on Saturday morning, the weather outside the window was not very good.
There was a strong wind in the forest far outside the house, and the towering trees were bent down. Going downstairs, the radio in the living room was playing the orange wind alert. As an island country in a geologically active zone in the ocean, earthquake and high wind alerts are basically normal.
No one likes earthquakes, but earthquakes mean that the earth is alive. They are the pulse of the planet's heartbeat.
"Good morning, Miss."
"Good morning, Maria."
Breakfast was fruit porridge and egg tarts, plus a cup of hot milk.
These were all prepared by Aunt Nadeshiko. Since Nadeshiko came, perhaps because she didn't want to eat and live for free, she took the initiative to replace the two chefs in the mansion and took on the work of breakfast. If Sakura knew about this, she would be very envious, right? Mother's breakfast, this should be the treatment she enjoys.
"Miss, in this weather, are you still going to the Central Park Stadium?"
"Of course, this is something that has already been agreed upon."
"But" Maria glanced out the window, the sky was dark. It was clearly morning, but it seemed like night was approaching. She always felt as if something bad was going to happen, which made her uneasy.
The Central Park Stadium is where the fan meeting and concert will be held on Christmas Day, a month later. Although it is called "Central Park", it is not very big, and naturally not as big as the Budokan. It is a venue that can accommodate 2500 people.
It's too small for a Virgo. But for a newcomer who just debuted, this is already an above-standard treatment.
When Lingya arrived at Central Park by car, the wind was even stronger, and even the branches of the thick trees were shaking and creaking. Fortunately, it hadn't rained yet, but judging by the weather, it was only a matter of time before a heavy rain fell.
Ling arrived more than half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, but Sakura arrived earlier than her. Central Park is not far from her home, and Sakura came here by bus.
In addition to auditioning Reiya's "Don't Give Up" today, there was also a trio duet of "Fruits Candy". In addition, Sakura also chose a single based on Tange-sensei's recommendation.
Catch Up Dream
[Even if it is a small piece of good fortune, for those who truly look forward and grasp it, it will one day become true happiness. ]
This is a song from one of Tange's albums in recent years. Due to his age, Tange has been semi-retired and has rarely released new songs in recent years. It is rare that he can still sing with the positive tone of his youth.
The copyright of this song is also in the hands of Sanmu Company, so there is no problem in this regard.
The difficulty of the song is a bit high, the drum beats are very intense, the rhythm is brisk, as if to fight for the future, with an unstoppable momentum. In the recording, Tange-sensei performed very well, the two of them had almost the same timbre, and in contrast, Sakura's slight flaws would stand out clearly.
But Sakura was still willing to give it a try.
"Good morning, Sakura. Is Tomoyo not here yet?"
"Good morning, Reiya, Tomoyo..." Sakura said, shifting her gaze behind Reiya.
"Here we are. Right behind you."
Suddenly, a sound came from behind her, and Ling was startled. She turned around and heard a flash light click. If it was an enemy, she would have noticed it long ago, but Chiyo was not hostile at all, and Gaia's light did not give her any warning, so she did not notice it.
