I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 595: January’s Monthly Report: Fuji Jump Co.

"Well, there's no hurry to discuss that today. We slowly go over this plan later. You can continue your report, Sayuri." Theo suddenly said as his eyes focused on Sayuri once again".

"If you say so, boss." Sayuri nodded before resuming her report.

Theo and Sam listened with rapt attention until Sayuri started talking about the profits reported during the last month.

"...with the new printing factory. We are capable of printing 10 million copies per month. January was only the second month that we had such capacity. But we finally finished a month where we were able to deliver all the demand we were asked to." Sayuri explained as she pointed at the chart on the screen, "As you can see here, in total, until January 30th, we were able to sell 9.3 million copies of mangas and light novels."

"From this number, 6 million copies were from the [Naruto] Manga. The fourth volume we released in January sold around 4 million copies. While the previous three volumes sold around 2 million copies in total."

"While the [Hataraku Maou-sama] Manga sold 2.1 million copies in total. The fourth volume sold 1 million copies. While the previous three volumes amounted to 1.1 million copies sold." "We finished the release of every chapter of the [SAO] Light Novel in January, so we registered an increase in sales as the light novel sold around 500k copies. We predict that these sales will increase even more when we release the whole light novel in the book format."

"And lastly, the [Tree of Joy] Light Novel sold 700 thousand copies." Sayuri finished as she pointed at the chart on the screen.

Theo's reaction when he saw the number of sales of the first 3 was normal, but when he looked at how much his light novel sold, his heart beamed with happiness.

There was no comparison as the first three he just copied works from his past life. But the [Tree of Joy] Light Novel was something that he made himself after pouring his heart and blood on those pages.

He was so glad that people liked his story.

"In the end, we achieved a Net Sale of 87 million dollars in January." Sayuri said with a calm voice

Theo and Sam didn't even blink as they heard such a staggering number. After the profit of 75 million dollars in December, they already expected that the Fuji Jump Co. would be able to surpass 80 million dollars in profit in January.

They sold 8.1 million copies of mangas, each had a price of 10 dollars.

They also sold 1.2 million copies of light novels at an average price of 5 dollars each.

Adding the sales between the profit from the two things is possible to reach that staggering number.

"But half of this 87 million dollars is destined to pay off costs and taxes. 30% of it goes to the bookstores while 20% of it goes to payment of the printing costs. This leaves us with 43.5 million dollars."

"But that is not the final cut yet as in December we increased by five times the printing capacity, and we also increased by five times our expenses."

"We have to discount around 9 million for the costs and expenses we had during January, as we can see here we had lots of things to pay during January. For example..." Sayuri proceeded to explain every expense the company had to arrive at the number of 9 million dollars.

"Finally, we arrive at the final cut to be shared among the shareholders. 34.5 million dollars." Sayuri said with a smile.

At the end of the day, she possessed 10% of the shares of the company, which meant that she would receive 3.45 million dollars!

Theo also had a satisfied expression when he heard that. That was because he would receive 31.05 million dollars!

By this point, he wasn't much surprised to receive this much money as he already understood that was a normal profit for a medium-sized publishing company.

Plus, he received so much money because he owned 90% of the shares of the company. And he would've earned even more if he hadn't been willing to leave 10% of the company for Sayuri. However, he didn't regret doing that as he had other places where he could earn money.

"That's the manga and light novel sales. In January, the online store we opened became popular with the public as it sold merchandise from our works. We sell all kinds of products. Cups, mugs, shirts, sweatshirts, pajamas, action figures, and others. In January, we didn't limit the sales like we did in December, so we managed to observe a Net Sale of 25.8 million dollars."

"But 75% of this number will have to be destined to pay for the costs as it is much more complicated and costly to produce these merchandise than when compared to mangas and light novels."

"But even then, the person who owns the copyrights of the merchandise will receive 6.45 million dollars." Sayuri said as she looked at Theo.

He owned the copyrights of every product being sold at the online store at the moment, so these 6.45 million dollars were all his!

Theo let out a small smile when he heard that, it seemed like his idea to sell merchandise was a correct one.

37.5 million dollars.

This was the amount of money that he would receive from the Fuji Jump Co. from the January sales.

This was almost 8 million more than he received in December!

It seemed like his prediction to receive 35 million dollars was somewhat of a conservative prediction.

After receiving almost 150 million dollars from Moonlight's streams, Theo didn't even flint when he heard that he was receiving 37.5 million dollars.

To be honest, Theo was a little numb after seeing those numbers, he didn't have much notion and for him, it was only numbers that he had to manipulate to invest in the projects he wanted to put into practice.

Sayuri continued with her report for a while until she finished speaking everything that she

Wanted.

Theo and Sam had satisfied smiles as they watched Sayuri finish her presentation. The two of them were impressed by their friend's expertise with her work.

"Any questions?" Sayuri asked.

Theo and Sam shook their heads in denial when they heard that.

Sayuri's report was extremely clear and easy to understand, so they didn't bother asking

Anything.

"Now that you finished the monthly report, let's talk about the project that we discussed

Before?" Theo asked as he looked at Sam and Sayuri.

The girls' eyes shone for a second when they heard that.

The Large Printing Factory!

It was finally time to start this project!
