Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 252 Year-End Inventory
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was burnt black and swollen by the anger of his teammates' "jealousy", deeply understood a cruel truth.

If you show off your wealth, you will be beaten!

It’s okay not to say it, but when I said it, Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, who had been mentally prepared, were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

In the end, they still couldn't bear the "jealousy" in their hearts, and they decided that Sakamoto Kiyoshi was showing off their wealth. Together, they pressed Sakamoto Kiyoshi on the ground and rubbed each other a hundred times. . .

In the past year, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's income was a terrifying 17 billion! ! !
It's no wonder that Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki were both surprised.

This is more than three times the personal income of the two of them, that is to say, the sum of the two of them is really only a fraction of his income, just a little more. . .

And why, Sakamoto Kiyoshi earned so much in 2006 when he stopped performing arts activities for half a year?

A big reason for this is because the novel still has copyright.

The copyright fee is a steady stream, and there is no need to share it with Sony. This is the reason why the income of singer-songwriters is relatively high.

The annual copyright fee can already make them live comfortably.

For singer-songwriters like Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaharu Fukuyama, Hikaru Utada, and Ayumi Hamasaki, the annual copyright fees are enough for them to buy a house in Tokyo.

Of course, it depends on whether it is an urban area or a suburban area. . .

Moreover, compared to Masaharu Fukuyama, Ayumi Hamasaki and others, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had a special income in the past year, that is, the big sales of novel volumes.

The book "Golden Dreamland" created by Kiyoshi Sakamoto during the vacation, with the blessing of the Akutagawa Award, after the publication of the single volume, it sold millions of copies within a few months, and successfully became the annual sales ranking of Japanese books. Champion!

It's all money to sell booklets!

The money earned from novels alone has reached as much as [-] million!

Coupled with advertising endorsement fees, film remuneration and other miscellaneous income, Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the pheasant list with an income of 17 billion, and the number one artist income list in 2006.

Although on the list, his marked income is a different number from his actual income, it only says 17 million, not [-] billion.

And this number is the income figure speculated by some good people based on various information. It is not fair and authentic, it is just a reference data.

Because, starting from 2006, due to the implementation of Japan's Personal Information Protection Law, after the ranking of high taxpayers is no longer published, they can no longer use this one. At present, the only way to calculate the income of artists through exact data .

Therefore, they can only calculate Sakamoto Kiyoshi's income based on fragmentary data and information collected from various places.

This is also the reason why Sakamoto Kiyoshi's income figures and his own real income figures do not match on those annual artist income rankings.

However, if you let them know that their income is much more than what they calculated, Kiyoshi Sakamoto might be kidnapped the next day. . .

However, even with the calculated [-] million, such an income figure still surprised the entire entertainment industry, his strong ability to attract money.

The closest to him is Kumi Koda, who sold more than 300 million records last year. Her calculated income is only more than 4 million.

One can imagine how much money Kiyoshi Sakamoto made in 2006. . .

Speaking of 2006, apart from his enviable income, Sakamoto's personal achievements are also very dazzling.

. . . . . .

In terms of movies, the first and second parts of "Death Note" starring Sakamoto Kiyoshi were released in June and October respectively. The first part was released for eight weeks, and the final box office was 45 billion; the second part was released for eight weeks, and the final box office reached an astonishing 60 billion! ! !

This not only allowed Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name to be deeply engraved on the box office charts of Japanese local movies, but also made him the first actor in the Heisei era to star in a box office with a box office exceeding [-] billion.

It is also the first-line actor who made him a big hit, and once again received two movie appointments that are destined to be hits like "Love in the Sky" and "Hot-Blooded High School". The film industry in China will definitely let his tall and straight figure appear on the screen again and receive the cheers of the public.

It's the same as being a fledgling in the film industry and being a big success.

It was his first time to become a writer of mystery novels. In order not to let Wenchun stare at him, he wanted to expose his own material all day long. Under the reminder of Qin Jian's life, he began to "write" a book "Golden" in his spare time during the holidays. Dreamland".

And this novel is also worthy of the splendor and fame of its previous life. Relying on this novel, Kiyoshi Sakamoto won the literary award in the first half of 2006, the Akutagawa Award!
This made Kiyoshi Sakamoto the youngest winner of the Akutagawa Award, and he was also appreciated by Chiji Kuroi, the chairman of the Japan Literary Artists Association, who invited him to join the Japan Literary Artists Association.

In this way, he also officially became a member of the writers' group, and the original purpose of writing was also perfectly achieved.

Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House also included him in the list that cannot reveal the news.

. . .

In terms of music, he has almost dominated the entire Japanese music scene in the past year.

In 2006, Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the most dazzling star when all major heavyweight singers released films.

Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not appear in the entertainment industry during the six months from April to October, this does not mean that the name Kiyoshi Sakamoto disappeared.

Before the vacation, the band THE SUN, which Kiyoshi Sakamoto was in, released their first album "THE SUN" in April, with a cumulative sales volume of 220 million!
In one fell swoop won the Oricon annual album list champion!

There are also Kiyoshi Sakamoto's solo comeback single "ひまわり", and the single "Kimi がいるから" released by the limited group "ARASHIYO" formed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Arashi. Both singles have sold over one million copies!
It also won the first and second places in the Oricon Annual Singles Chart in one fell swoop. . .

Quietly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's personal record sales, unknowingly, came to the fourth place in the history of Japanese male solo singer record sales.

Personal honor does not prevent him from being successful in groups.

The band THE SUN, which debuted for two and a half years, after two years of hard work and great popularity, finally breathed a sigh of relief for Kiyoshi Sakamoto last year. Under the eyes of Kiyoshi Hikawa and Kumi Koda, they still won the The 48th Japan Record Awards!
This also allowed Sakamoto Kiyoshi to win the number of awards, reaching two.

And all of this made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who entered the new year, full of pride.

This is not over yet, before Kiyoshi Sakamoto and his family greeted the quietly approaching 2007 together, Kiyoshi Sakamoto received another piece of great news.

. . . . . .

December 2007, 1.

Tokyo.

Meguro District, Sakamoto House.

"Moshi Moshi? Kagawa?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had just returned from visiting Beichuan's house with his family, received a call from the United States.

It was Kagawa who called him.

"Happy New Year! Qing Jun!" On the phone, Kagawa's calm voice was obviously excited.

"Oh, you too! Happy New Year!" Kiyoshi Sakamoto held his mobile phone and looked around. When he found that his parents and younger brother were not around, he exhaled.

Feeling unsafe, he took his mobile phone, pushed open the door of the yard, walked to the swing in the yard, and sat down.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto has never told his family about his investment, when he communicates with TOP Company, he usually finds a place where his family is not around.

"Listen to your tone, is that matter settled?" Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked in a low voice while sitting on the swing.

"Bingo! You guessed it right!" Kagawa's voice was full of unbearable joy, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the other end of the phone still felt the same way.

"So what happened?" he asked.

"Google agreed to buy YouTube from us for one billion US dollars, plus [-]% of the shares!!!"

Kagawa's voice on the phone suddenly rose.

Hearing Kagawa's words, the big stone in Sakamoto Kiyoshi's heart immediately fell down.

He took a deep breath, exhaled a breath in the air, clenched his fists, and said into the phone.

"Nice job!!!"

After more than a month of tug-of-war, thanks to the efforts of all employees of TOP Investment under Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the Google acquisition case was finally settled.

Google, the world's largest technology company in terms of market value, has successfully acquired the future world's number one video site, YouTube, from Sakamoto Kiyoshi for a billion dollars and a [-]% stake!

This allowed Kiyoshi Sakamoto to get a huge sum of more than one billion US dollars and at the same time, it also made him a minority shareholder of Google.

Although [-]% of the shares are not enough for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to enter Google's board of directors, become a director, and participate in Google's decision-making, he never thought that he could use this to enter Google's decision-making level.

What he wants is a [-]% stake, which will allow him to skyrocket his net worth in the future, that's all. . .

Even if it is possible for him to enter Google as a middle and high-level manager, it is impossible for him to go.

After all, he doesn't want to manage Google, he is still more interested in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, he can only say sorry to Google in his heart.

"Sorry, you lost a genius who could lead you to become the world's largest company... Well, that genius is me."

"Hehehe..."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was flirting in his heart, also sat on the swing in the yard with his mobile phone and a smirk on his face.

And at this time, in the house, seeing that it seemed a bit cold outside, Feng Sakamoto, who originally wanted to call his brother into the house, also looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi who was sitting on the swing with a smirking face, and muttered.

"This Bagani sauce is hopeless..."
