The great entertainer of Konoha

After coming out of the Third Generation, I got the approval slip for the Chunin Examination.

Then Ebisu went back directly, preparing to hand over the other props to the clone.

But at night, Ebisu sent a clone again to notify some people and agreed that they would come to Ebisu Company for a meeting tomorrow morning.

Among them, even the third generation of Hokage, almost all the bosses of Hokage were called over.

Early the next morning, around eight o'clock, many people came to the reception room of Ebisu Company.

Everyone was sitting at the long table, with the Sandaime occupying the very edge, and the Uchiha clan and Hyuga clan on the left and right.

The third generation gave him some respect and came as requested, as did Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi, who had some connection with Ebisu.

Among the bosses of other families, the Nara clan came as a representative from the Inokacho family. The Aburame and Inuzuka clans also sent people, but they were only at the elder level, not the bosses.

There are also some other small families.

"Why did you call us here?"

"If there is nothing important, I will go to work."

Uchiha Fugaku was naturally displeased with Ebisu, and his dissatisfaction now no longer mattered whether Ebisu would be beneficial to the Uchiha clan.

"I called everyone here because I have something that can make me rich, and I want to invite everyone to participate."

Ebisu said bluntly.

"When it comes to making money, do you need to look to people like us?"

"I'll just arrange for someone from my family to contact you."

Hinata Hizu snorted coldly.

"No, no, no, this matter is very important. Only the clan leaders can make the decision."

"I decided to establish a Konoha Cinema Alliance to control the entire Fire Country film industry in our hands."

Ebisu shook his head and said.

"I'm not interested in this"

Nara Shikaku expressed his opinion.

"If this industry can earn more than 10 billion taels a year, Chief Nara, are you still not interested?"

Ebisu looked directly at him and said.

"what do you mean"

The third generation spoke.

Ebisu had tricked him before and asked him to make news. The third generation thought it would be somewhat profitable, so he accepted it.

Now I'm doing this again

So far, he has not received a dime.

And this time it seems that Ebisu wants to make a big splash. If Konoha's manpower is left empty, it will be very dangerous.

"You all know that I have five movie theaters in Konoha, right?"

Ebisu did not explain immediately, but asked everyone.

“I go often”

"The one on the rooftop is the best, the other ones are a little bit worse."

"Does Mr. Ebisu want to sell these cinemas?"

The people from the small family below followed suit and spoke.

"No, I'm just telling everyone how much money I can make from a movie theater."

"The cinema on the rooftop can accommodate 150 people per session, and it can show eight shows a day, which is about 600,000 taels a day."

"The other four companies cost about 400,000 taels a day."

"The consumption here is five hundred thousand taels for ten people in one movie, and five hundred and five hundred thousand taels for five families."

"So from these five cinemas, my monthly income is almost 70 million taels."

"In addition to the share I want to give to the movie actors, I can still get 35 million taels."

Ebisu calculated everything for these family bosses.

These big guys were dismissive at first, it was just a few hundred thousand taels.

But after hearing the numbers behind them, everyone looked surprised.

Even the Uchiha clan's family property is only a few billion taels. This is the family property accumulated over the years and belongs to the entire Uchiha clan.

But now, Ebisu may be able to earn back the money in just a few years.

"what do you mean"

Sandai asked again

This time his expression was more serious.

"I did the same thing in the capital of the Land of Fire. Now it's basically stable. There are a total of seventeen cinemas in operation."

"But the situation there is a little worse than here, but it's still very easy to sell more than 150 million taels in a month."

"The investment in doing these things is to buy a piece of land large enough to build a house, arrange the chairs, add movie playing equipment, etc."

"A well-decorated movie theater may cost only a few million taels, or even one million taels. The most important expense is actually the movie equipment."

"A movie theater only costs five million taels in total, but if you want to make money back, one month is enough."

"Now do you understand what I mean?"

Ebisu said to everyone.

Konoha can be full every day because most of the people here are relatively wealthy. Secondly, there are few competitors. In addition, the movies and TV series produced by Ebisu are good, so many people are watching them again and again. over and over again.

The Fire Country side is a bit worse. It cannot operate around the clock and can only be filled during the day. Therefore, the efficiency of making money is much worse than that of Konoha.

"Open movie theaters in those towns in the Land of Fire"

A small clan leader raised his hand and asked.

"right"

"That's it"

"The main thing is that I don't have enough manpower, and it's difficult for me to occupy the entire Fire Nation territory by myself, so I need to find someone to cooperate."

"You don't need any chuunin or jounin, the strength of the genin is enough, and you only need one genin."

"Others can just recruit ordinary people to work. The main reason is the source of the film. I will give you two ways."

"One is to sell it to you based on the price, and the other is if you don't have enough funds, you can choose to share it. All movie tickets will be divided into 50 and 50."

Ebisu explained.

"Your prices are too outrageous. You only need to give me a source and you can make half of the money."

Someone said unhappy.

"You don't need my film source, you can shoot it yourself."

"As long as you have enough cinemas and the movies you shoot are good-looking, you can also sell the film sources to everyone."

Ebisu said directly.

For a good movie, you don’t have to worry about selling it, you just sit back and wait to collect the money.

I'm sorry for the movie, you bastard.

No one said anything else now.

"The reason why I invited the Sandaime to come is that I want Konoha to act as an intermediary to protect everyone's interests from losses, and secondly, as a notary."

"If someone tampered with the accounts, or violated everyone's joint relationship, Konoha will punish them."

"Of course, Konoha's work cannot be in vain. The members of the strategic alliance must hand over 10% of their profits as protection fees to Konoha."

Ebisu spoke.

If Sandai hadn't been the intermediary, there would have been many people trying to steal the box office.

However, after three generations, there are still people who dare to do such things, but there will be much fewer people and there will be supervision.

"No problem here in Konoha"

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said.

If it is true what Ebisu said, then Konoha can obtain a very stable source of income.

At most, we can just send a few ANBU to investigate. It won't cost much money.

Moreover, these ninjas are charged one at a time for missions. They are paid hundreds of thousands of taels every two months, which is really very economical.

"The Uchiha clan has decided to participate."

Uchiha Fugaku listened to Ebisu's words with his eyes closed, and finally voted.
