Chapter 1006 Chapter 47 The Proceeds of "Ten Masters Competition"
"I've been wronged—Mr. Zheng, you really wronged me this time!" Kosuke Mizuhara wrinkled his face, as if he had really been greatly wronged.

Zheng Ke and him already knew each other's personalities when they were planning the "Ten Masters Competition", and after a period of contact, the relationship between the two is also good, and they usually like to make some jokes, so after listening to Kosuke Mizuhara Zheng Ke didn't pay any attention to his "crying for injustice".

"Are you back?" Senzaemon also stood up from the sofa, pointing to the sofa next to Kosuke Mizuhara, "Sit down first, too?"

"Ah."

The three sat down again, and Zheng Ke glanced at Senzaemon in front of him.The old man squinted his eyes and smiled all over his face, looking in a good mood.

"Did I come at the wrong time?" Zheng Ke asked.

"There's nothing wrong. Mr. Mizuhara just told me the income and expenditure of the 'Ten Heroes Tournament'." Senzaemon said softly.

Zheng Ke nodded. Although he was curious about how much profit this program would bring to Yuanyue Academy, the chief Yuanyue would be elected soon, and he didn't need to do it for him. He just hoped that he would not lose too much money.

"Live broadcasting and TV stations, together, have an income of almost one billion yen." After a short pause, Senzaemon said a figure.

"What?" Zheng Ke was surprised. He didn't expect this project to pay back the cost.

"On the one hand, it comes from the advertising revenue of TV stations and live broadcasts, and on the other hand, it comes from sponsors. However, one billion yen seems to be a lot, but we spend a lot of money, barely filling the previous expenses, I made a little more money." Mizuhara Kosuke explained.

Zheng Ke nodded. Kosuke Mizuhara said so, and he probably knew the reason.

"But, shouldn't the TV station's advertising revenue belong to the TV station?" Zheng Ke asked doubtfully.

"How could it be possible to give it to them? The copyright of 'Ten Masters' is in the hands of Yuanyue Academy - if a TV station is unwilling, we will change to another one. If it is really impossible, there is nothing wrong with us running a radio station ourselves. Senzaemon stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed into a line.

After Zheng Ke heard this sentence, black lines appeared on his face.

However, although it sounds a bit exaggerated, it is really not a difficult task for Yuanyue Academy.

The Totsuki Group already holds a pivotal position in the culinary world of Japan. Few people would dare to refuse Senzaemon's request, and there is no problem with their connections.Moreover, the Yuanyue Group has its own railways, trains, and ships in Hokkaido. From this point alone, there must be sufficient funds.

"However, the TV station did not suffer a loss. We sold the copyright of "Deciphering the 'Ten Masters'" to them." Kosuke Mizuhara continued.

"I heard about this show on the way back. It seems to be very popular. The copyright should sell well, right?" Zheng Ke recalled what the taxi driver said, and asked curiously.

"[-] million yen." Kosuke Mizuhara grinned.

Zheng Ke pursed his lips, and the TV station was not afraid of hitting his hand.

However, from the current point of view, the TV station is making a steady profit without losing money, but this sum of money must be apportioned to those businesses.

"By the way, Zheng Ke, you came here today to chat, right? If you have anything to say, just talk about it?" Senzaemon asked curiously.

"Oh, there's something really wrong." Zheng Ke rubbed his hands, "That's right, the prestigious school qualifying competition is about to start, isn't it?"

"Well, I know that." Senzaemon nodded, "You should already know the quota for the battle."

"I think this way. Our school wants to be at the top of the world's famous schools. It is best for students to experience the top ten cooking competitions. This will not only increase their careers, but also realize their own shortcomings. Provide goals for future learning."

Zheng Ke glanced at Senzaemon secretly, and was slightly relieved when he noticed that the other party kept nodding.

"It makes sense. From what you're saying, it seems to be related to the prestigious school's qualifying competition... What's your plan?" Senzaemon looked at Zheng Ke curiously.

"Hey, I can't talk about any plans. If possible, I wonder if the school can organize students to go to Paris to watch this qualifying match? After all, such an opportunity is very rare." Zheng Ke looked at it nervously. Senzaemon in front of him was afraid that he would say no.

Senzaemon folded his hands on his chest, pondered for a few minutes, and nodded slightly.

"This plan is really good. As the top culinary school in Japan, Togetsu Academy is obliged to let students go to the scene to watch the prestigious school's qualifying competition. It's just..." Senzaemon stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

Zheng Ke didn't say anything either, and he only remembered his proposal yesterday.And the purpose of doing this is the same as what he said, a top chef is not only outstanding in cooking skills, but also in knowledge.

This insight comes not only from the chef's cooking skills, but also his understanding of food and the atmosphere of dining in a western restaurant.Some things cannot be grasped accurately without personal contact.

If Yuanyue Academy wants to train more excellent chefs, it must provide them with convenience.

Of course, Zheng Ke also had a little bit of black-bellied thinking. Yuanyue Academy made so much money in one breath, so it doesn't matter if it costs a little.

Zheng Ke also knew that it was indeed difficult to organize hundreds of people to go to Paris at a time, and accommodation should also be a problem.

"Well, let me think about it again. There are many problems to be solved, such as air tickets, translation, accommodation... At this time, although Paris is not the peak season for tourism, it is not easy to find so many rooms in the same hotel at once. It’s too realistic. The rooms at Yuanyue Resort have already been booked, and we can’t drive them all out—I’ll give you the results tomorrow.”

Zheng Ke was quite satisfied with this answer. After all, with so many people, it would take a lot of time just to find a place to live, let alone other details.

The goal was achieved, and Zheng Ke stopped talking.Kosuke Mizuhara and Kosuke Senzaemon chatted for a few more words, then got up to leave, and Zheng Ke also left Senzaemon's office with Kosuke Mizuhara by the way.

"When are you going out for dinner?"

When the two of them entered the stairs, Mizuhara Kosuke took out a cigarette and didn't light it, but kept sniffing the tobacco leaves.

"No, I'm still quite busy during this time." Zheng Ke waved his hand, he probably will meet Ueda Takeshi when he comes back this time, to catch up on the old days.After all, he didn't know when he would come back next time.So time is not enough.

"Oh. It's a pity. There are a few producers who want to get to know you?" Kosuke Mizuhara felt a little regretful.

"I'm just a student, what do they know me for?"

The elevator door opened, Zheng Ke walked out of the elevator first, followed by Mizuhara Kosuke.
