I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 205 May Time Soften Your Pain
"I should make a call to Sayuri to discuss the expansion of the printing factory." Theo thought out loud after he gave Sylph the orders.
The silver-haired man nodded at himself. fπeπ²πeππoπππΉ.cπΌπ
He picked up his cellphone and dialed Sayuri's phone number.
A while later, Sayuri picked up the call.
"Hello?" The high-pitched voice of the Head Manager of the Fuji Jump sound through the phone.
"Hey, Sayuri. How's it going?" Theo greeted her with a playful voice.
"Humph! Busy as always." Sayuri replied with a fake annoyed voice.
She loved her job as she took care of the company founded by her father, but Theo would always annoy her about the amount of work she did.
"You know you like it." Theo laughed.
"Yeah, I do." Sayuri could not help but laugh too.
"So, why did you call me?" She asked shortly after.
"It's about the recommendation you made in the report you sent me." Theo went straight to the subject.
"Oh, you saw it already? What did you decide?" She asked with an avid voice.
Even though she owned 10% of the shares of the Fuji Co., Sayuri knew that she didn't have to interfere with the decisions that Theo made.
She was glad to just work as the Head Manager and leave the decisions to him.
After all, every decision he made so far was the right one, so she trusted completely in his judgment.
"I already sent the money so in the next few hours Sam will contact you for the allocations of the money to pay salaries and bills." Theo started by warning her.
"Great!" She replied with a smile.
"And I thought about your recommendation to expand the factory and I think you're right. And I think that we have to expand as big as we can."
"My proposition for you is to expand the factory to have a printability of at least 10 million copies per month." Theo exposed his idea.
"What?" Sayuri exclaimed in shock.
She never thought that Theo had such a big plan.
Sayuri imagined that Theo would propose to just double the capacity to 4 million copies.
But Theo proposed to quintuple the printability of the factory!
5 times the number they currently had.
"Yeah, I figured that if we just double the capacity of printability of the factory we will face the same problem we are facing now in the next months. So, I think we should extrapolate the capacity to a number that we won't face the problem to have demand but not the capacity to print more copies." Theo explained his thought process.
"Hmm, I think you're right." Sayuri replied after thinking for a while.
"This way we can see how many copies we can sell in a month." Sayuri added with a pondering face.
"This was exactly my thought." Theo agreed with her.
"And how much money we will have to invest to expand the factory to this capacity?" Sayuri asked.
"I did some calculations and it will be a little more than 4 million dollars. I will enter with 3.6 million and you will enter with 400 thousand dollars." Theo replied.
"I can work with that." Sayuri stated with a firm voice.
She did not have any problem with investing money in that company.
After all, this was a company founded by her father and she wanted to contribute to its success.
And with the profit she was earning every month, she had the money to pay for this investment.
Just this month, she received 800 thousand dollars.
That was a huge amount of money for someone who almost declared bankruptcy 4 months ago.
"It's decided then. I will send you the money and you can work on this expansion." Theo declared with a gentle voice.
He did not doubt that Sayuri would do the best job to expand the factory.
"Leave with me." Sayuri stated with a confident voice.
"In two weeks the expansion will be completed!" Sayuri declared confidently as she started thinking about the expansion project.
She had to meet with her employees, contact the factories to buy more printers, expand the space of the factory, and do many other things.
But she was happy to do that because when this expansion got completed, the Fuji Co. would be able to sustain itself in the national market.
"I believe you will." Theo chuckled.
"How's the release of the new light novel?" Theo asked when he remembered that the light novel that he wrote would be released in December.
[YorokobI No Ki] or [Tree of Joy] was the light novel that Theo wrote based on his experience in the orphanage in his past life.
At first, he wrote the light novel to complete the mission that the system gave him.
But in the end, he found that this novel was an important piece for him.
Theo found the closure he was searching for in the loved ones he left behind in his past life.
This novel was dedicated to his past life.
That's why in the first few pages of the book, Theo made the acknowledgment page dedicated to them.
It said:
[In times of darkness, love seesβ¦
In times of silence, love hears...
In times of doubt, love hopesβ¦
In times of sorrow, love heals...
And in all times, love remembers.
May time soften the pain
Until all that remains
Is the warmth of the memories
And the love.
-- To the ones, I left behind but will never leave my Heart.]
May Time Soften Your Pain.
This was the title of this poem.
Theo knew that the pain of never seeing again those children and the matron would never cease to exist, but he hoped that someday he would look back and just feel the warmth of memories he shared with them.
Theo never knew how some transmigrator of some novels from his past life could get over their past life so quickly.
Now that he experienced transmigration, he could say with certainty that it was not easy to get over his past life.
After all, he lived 18 years with those people.
How could he get over not seeing them again ever again so quickly?
Theo needed time to heal his heart.
But with the help of Aurora, Ayia, and his friends he was managing to be happy in this life too.
And this book became something that helped him move on.
"Oh, the bookstores were avid when they discovered that we planned to release a new novel. So, we printed the same amount of copies that the Sword Art Online Novel had. And because it is a single-volume novel, I think we will be able to meet the demand." Sayuri replied when she remembered the book that Theo sent her a few weeks ago.
"Great. Now I am at ease." Theo replied with a happy smile.
He didn't care how many copies he sold of his book, he just wanted to share his story with the world.
Sayuri listened to his reply, and she could feel that this book meant a lot to him.
She found this book so different when compared to his past works, she could feel that this book came from Theo's heart when she read the dedication page of the novel.
Sayuri had to admit that she cried when she read the book.
It was so beautiful and she just wanted to hug the children of the orphanage described in the book.
She laughed in the funny parts, she was intrigued when Theo wrote about the difficulties of the orphanage, and she cried at the end of the book.
For her, this book became of her favorite books ever.
She was sure that everyone who reads this book would feel the same way.
"I have to say, boss. This book is amazing! I cried when I read the book." Sayuri commented
"I'm glad that my story made you feel this way." Theo replied with a joyful voice.
'Guys, it seems that our stories will be liked in this world.' Theo thought as he thought about his past life family.
'I miss you guys so much...'
