"Compared with legal issues, what I'm more afraid of is whether Xiaozhi will offend Sony and Akimoto Yasu by doing this." Takeda Reiko said worriedly, "What if, I mean what if, I get banned? "
Amamiya Sugawara frowned, "I have no intention of breaking the contract and jumping to other idol groups or agencies privately. I have never had a negative impact on Nogizaka's image. There is no need for Sme and Akimoto-sensei to be like me. A little guy is tearing his skin apart."
Amamiya Soi didn't think that sme would do such a derogatory thing. She was more worried about whether her future cooperation with sme would be affected by some small-minded guy.
"I hope so." Takeda Reiko thought about it carefully, and Sme and Akimoto Yasushi did not need to do things so absolutely.
Amamiya Sori didn't cause any love scandal, she just "opened a company."
Although there are very few active idols opening companies, it is not unprecedented. Not to mention, just recently, Mariko Shinoda, an active member of AKB, established her own clothing brand last year. It's just that the latter has been reported to akb's operations, while the former is purely a private action.
"Takeda-san, do you still have any questions?" Amamiya Shiori does not expect to be able to convince Takeda Reiko today. She hopes to answer Takeda's doubts as much as possible so that Takeda can better understand his goals.
"Do you have a partner?"
"No." Amamiya Shiori answered simply.
An ordinary sophomore student naturally does not have much time or opportunity to develop connections and make like-minded friends to start a business together. Students in the same grade are still busy with their homework. Those who are interested in starting a business can at least start it when they are about to graduate from their junior and senior years.
At the same time, as an idol, Amamiya Shiori is even more unlikely to find a partner from school in just two years. Because she did not have time to participate in school club activities, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by being considered a private relationship by serious fans, she gave up normal interpersonal interactions with her classmates.
As a result, she can count on one hand the classmates she is relatively familiar with, and they are all girls, and they all got to know each other through group work in the course.
There is no need to think about partners.
"What about your team?"
"I'm going to build it from scratch."
"This...can we recruit people?" Takeda Reiko had a headache. She didn't know whether to say that Amamiya Shiori didn't know how high the sky was or whether a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
"At the beginning, the employees will mainly be labor dispatch. After the company reaches a certain scale, we will consider hiring full-time employees on a large scale." Amamiya Sugawara replied.
Labor dispatch is a form of employment in which a labor dispatch agency signs a labor contract with the dispatched workers and sends the workers to other employers to work under other arrangements and management.
Due to the lifetime employment system and seniority system, the cost of hiring regular employees is very high for Japanese companies. Dismissal of regular employees is not only likely to be investigated by the local government, but also requires higher dismissal costs. Therefore, in order to avoid risks, the labor dispatch system has become one of the means for large companies to reduce employment costs.
Temporary workers sent by labor dispatch companies are paid worse than regular employees. They leave after completing their work. Regular employees do not enjoy the benefits, but they do not work less at all.
There are a large number of labor dispatch employees in Japan's IT field, most of whom come from abroad, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, etc.
Amamiya Souri has met many IT practitioners from the mainland who come to Japan to work on the Internet. Most of them are labor dispatch employees, and there are relatively few formal members in large companies.
In the early stage, Amamiya Sugawara plans to mainly dispatch personnel from IT dispatch companies and hire a small number of regular employees to continue to supplement and improve the functions of various parts of the software. After the official launch of the app store, she will seek financing and expand the size of the staff.
"Well, that's true." Takeda Reiko nodded.
"Speaking of which, are the financial preparations sufficient?" She suddenly remembered that Amamiya Soi had not said where the money to start the company would come from.
"Currently, a team of 20 people can last for half a year," Amamiya Shiori replied, "Including rent, equipment, and other miscellaneous expenses, based on each person's monthly salary of 300,000."
"Once my dividends are paid into my account at the end of the year, funding will not be a problem."
"What dividend?" Takeda Reiko asked confused.
"Well, I just invested in a mobile game company this year, and I haven't told you yet."
Invest and start a company at the same time? Where did you get so much money? Is it so profitable to be an idol?
"Xiao Zhi, where did your money come from?" she said nervously, "You can't do anything illegal."
"Don't worry," Amamiya Shiori said with a smile, "the money was obtained through formal channels."
"Didn't you borrow any loan shark?"
"No, not even a bank loan."
Takeda Reiko stared into Amamiya Shiori's eyes. She could not see through Amamiya more and more. She didn't know how many secrets this child had hidden from adults.
Amamiya Shiori accepted Takeda's scrutiny without changing his expression.
Takeda Reiko sighed, "Oh, forget it, I won't delve into this anymore. But I still strongly suggest Xiaozhi not to open a company, at least not now. Wait until you graduate from college in a few years, and your idol will also graduate at the same time. Isn’t it too late to open it again?”
How many years will it take? In a few years the day lilies will be cold.
Moushou has already begun to transform into a short video social platform, and in a few years, Moubybyte will also join. If he starts a company in a few years, the only thing waiting for Amamiya Shiori is to be acquired.
Amamiya only has a first-mover advantage now. It cannot compete with other short video apps without launching tik tok in advance.
The long silence showed Amamiya Shiori's attitude.
Takeda Reiko knew Amamiya Shiori's stubbornness.
When they first met, she originally wanted to adopt Amamiya Shiori as her adopted daughter, but Amamiya Shiori disagreed and preferred to live alone.
Amamiya Shiori does have the capital to be stubborn, and her ability to be independent is far beyond that of her peers. Such an independent child is indeed very worry-free, but it also brings a sense of frustration to Takeda Reiko. As a guardian, it seems that apart from introducing Amamiya Sori to her high school and applying for a scholarship, she only has to sign a contract. function.
"Xiaozhi, I know I can't talk to you," Takeda Reiko said, "but I hope you can think twice before you act."
"I will pay attention." Amamiya Nodded sincerely.
…
The first attempt at persuasion was not successful.
Takeda Reiko said that she needed time to collect relevant information and discuss it with her husband.
Amamiya Shiori didn't expect Takeda Reiko to agree with just one persuasion. That was unrealistic.
She left the company's articles of association and documents detailing the main business to Takeda, hoping she could understand what she wanted to do and why she was so eager.
The two tentatively scheduled to meet again next weekend, and Amamiya expressed her gratitude to Takeda and apologized for causing her unnecessary trouble.
