I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 93 Profit Monthly Report

[BONUS CHAPTER]

Monday, November 2nd

Theo was in his office reading the reports on October's profit of his companies.

Currently, the Umbrella Corporation took care of two child companies.

Fuji Jump Publishing House and BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

Theo's restaurant was not included in the management.

Theo had the thought that his restaurant shouldn't be affiliated with the corporation as it was his baby project.

But in the future, if he considered opening a franchise of his restaurant, he would place his restaurant in the corporation.

But, at this moment, the Umbrella Corporation managed only two companies.

However, in the following month, a new company would join the Umbrella Company.

It was Theo's animation studio company.

As Theo read the reports, his head nodded in approval.

The BlueCloud Coffee Shop opened five more branches around Elffire City, totaling 10 branches located in the city.

The branches opened in the middle of October, and they were able to earn back the money that Theo invested in them.

BlueCloud's profit in September was all converted into the opening the new branches and improving the company itself.

Haruto Haki was just a simple manager, but because the manager was doing such a good job taking care of the BlueCloud Coffee Shop. Theo gave him the position of Head Manager of the BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

The man was ecstatic when he heard that.

And Theo saw that his decision was correct, Haruto used the money that Theo gave him to open a headquarters for the BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

Where the management staff would work, leaving the Umbrella Corporation office.

In the headquarters, it was produced all the prepared food that would sell in the shops.

In the shops, the process was just a simple procedure.

But the secret of the recipes was held in headquarters of the company, where trustworthy cooks would cook products sold in the shops.

The shop was able to double the monthly profit.

And it was evident as someone walked in the city that the shop has become an essential part of the lives of the citizens of Elffire City.

,m The company earned 1.4 million in October, but $500 thousand was used to pay salaries, ingredients costs, rental fees, and others.

So, Theo would receive approximately 900k dollars monthly of profit from the shop.

But this month, he gave 300k dollars to Haruto for him to advertise the shop heavily in the city.

He wanted to ingrain the subconscious of the citizens that his coffee shop existed.

For a food franchise to become successful, it was essential to become known to all citizens.

And Theo wanted to reach all citizens in Elffire City.

Theo also gave Haruto new recipes to sell in the shops.

This would give the shop even more stability, a multiple choice of dishes and drinks were essential to the big audience that Theo was reaching.

So, Theo was left with 600k dollars from the BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

The Fuji Jump Publishing House had the biggest monthly profit in its history.

With the opening of the Printing Factory, the company was able to print 2 million copies per month.

And adding great works that sold well, the company was able to earn back what was invested in the Printing Factory.

The [Naruto] Manga sold throughout the whole month a total of 1 million copies. Sayuri observed the stagnation of sales, she presumed that it would remain at that number. But with the release of the second volume in November, she predicted that it would surpass the 1 million copies with the first and second volume being sold.

The [Hataraku Maou-sama] Manga was able to sell 300k copies in the three weeks that were in the bookstores. It was another great success, even though it did not sell as much as the [Naruto] Manga, it sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

And the [Sword Art Online] Light Novel was able to sell 100k copies in the two weeks that were on the bookshelves around the country. It may sound much less than the Manga sales, but it was a known fact that the light novel industry was smaller than the manga industry. So, it was already a great result to sell 50k copies per week and probably 200k per month.

So, in total, the Fuji Jump sold 1.3 million copies of mangas and 100k copies of light novels.

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

The price difference was due to the increased difficulty of making mangas.

But the bookstores held 30% of the profit from the sales. And 20% of the profit was the print cost of the volume.

So, only 50% of the final profit was held by the Fuji Jump.

In October, the Fuji Jump earned 13.5 million dollars with sales.

But, 30% (4.05 million) of that was destined for the bookstores

And 20% (2.7 million) was to pay the printing costs.

The Fuji Jump was left with 6.75 million dollars of profit. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

That was an astronomical number for a company that was about to declare bankruptcy a few months ago.

Of these 6.75 million dollars, 1.75 million was destined to pay salaries and bills that the Printing Factory had.

To own such a huge factory, it was understandable to pay an astronomical price of energy every month.

So, it was understandable to pay such money.

There was 5 million after paying all the costs, but 10% of that was destined to Sayuri as she owned 10% shares of the company.

In the end, Theo would be left with 4.5 million dollars for him.

He was ecstatic when he saw the number, he never imagined earning so much money with his efforts.

Even though he had a temptation to spend this money crazily, he sobered up after a while.

He decided to give 2.5 million dollars to Sayuri for her to install new departments in the factory. He also wanted to put the factory to be powered by solar panels.

In the end, he was left with 2 million dollars.

'The Spark' restaurant established itself as a renowned restaurant throughout the city in October.

It was observed stagnation in profit.

The restaurant earned the same 5 million dollars that were earned in September.

But it's valid to remember that Theo implemented day-offs for the staff, so he did not open for several days and even then he got the same profit.

Theo also hired a bunch of new employees, making the costs of ingredients, bills, and salaries increase to 2.5 million.

Theo was left with half of the profit from the restaurant.

So, with all the profits from the three companies, it amounts to 5.1 million dollars.

But Theo had to pay the employees of the Umbrella Corporation.

Amounting 1,5 million of salaries.

It was so much because Sam was opening departments like the juridical department, sales department, supervisor department, and others to oversee the management of the companies under the Umbrella.

Finally, Theo was left with approximately 3.9 million dollars.

He had multiple plans for that money.

But he was indeed a little overwhelmed when he saw so much money.

He wanted to invest in his Animation Studio and his musical career.

Theo needed the starting money to open the studio, and he planned to use this money he got from his companies.

Theo finished reading the reports with shining eyes.

He was so happy!

Not because he earned so much money, maybe a little bit, but because his dreams were becoming true.

That day was the resting day of the restaurant, so he decided to go home and start working on creating a light novel.

He had thousands of ideas about light novels, but he could not decide which.

He was thoughtful as he went home that day.
