Is this mangaka crazy?

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: A Thousand Miles of Road



Sakura put on her slippers and walked out of her room. Her home was a single-family villa.

As a young lady, everyone knew how large this villa was.

Her room was on the second floor, so she quickly went downstairs and soon arrived at the dining room.

Although she was a young lady, Sakura's family was not as rigid and old-fashioned as in TV dramas.

For example, the name of the maid Tanaka-san a moment ago. Although the Tanaka family hired many servants and gardeners, there weren't so many names or rules.

After all, it's the 21st century. It's impossible to still use the names of master, madam, young master, and young lady like those landlords and nobles.

This was specifically requested by Sakura's father.

For Sakura, the maids in the family could not be called Miss or young lady, only by their names.

As for Sakura's parents, they were called boss and boss lady.

When Sakura arrived at the restaurant, she saw her father, Hiroshi Tanaka, sitting in his seat waiting for her.

Her father, Hiroshi Tanaka, does not look that old. Rather, he looks a bit young. He is tall and thin, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has his hair combed back. He looks like a shrewd businessman, but at the same time, it can be seen that he is a handsome and attractive man.

Although his eyes do not resemble Sakura's much, his prominent nose and prominent cheekbones reveal that he is definitely her biological father.

In fact, her classmates, including her three roommates, have speculated about her identity and family background.

But no matter how much they think, they probably can't imagine that her father is Hiroshi Tanaka!

Because Hiroshi Tanaka is one of the leaders of Japan's internet companies today, and undoubtedly, the most important leader in recent years without any controversy.

If described in Ren's words, it's probably like the Okada-san of his previous life, with water and a decapitated head.

Because compared to Okada-san, Penguin is not Hiroshi Tanaka's company. Hiroshi Tanaka's company operates Kensaku, the largest search engine company in Japan today.

In recent years, through investment and acquisition of various small companies with great potential in various sectors, and with the strong financial support of the Kensaku Group, it has continued to expand its strength.

In fact, it is mainly through angel investments, a speculative type of investment, that Kensaku has become one of the largest internet companies in Japan in recent years.

All of this is due to Hiroshi Tanaka, for his precise investment and acquisition vision has made Kensaku what it is today.

Precisely because of the effectiveness of recent years, Hiroshi Tanaka is getting busier and busier,

because everyone trusts his vision and decision-making ability.

Furthermore, the controller of any large group is very busy.

That's why Sakura doesn't usually have contact with Hiroshi Tanaka.

Even by calling, it is usually difficult to find her father, Hiroshi Tanaka, and her mother, Akari Tanaka.

Only they can find Sakura.

It has always been this way.

Sakura sat quietly next to Hiroshi Tanaka and asked, "Dad, why have you returned recently?"

"Didn't I hear Uncle Chen say you're back for the holidays?"

Uncle Chen is their driver.

Hiroshi Tanaka smiled and said, "It just so happens that I'll be attending the Japan Internet Summit in a few days, so I'll stay here for a few days."

"And Mom?" Sakura asked.

Sakura's parents are, by nature, elite executives of the Kensaku Company, and indeed, without her mother's help, Hiroshi Tanaka would not have reached where he is today.

This is a very real problem.

No matter how great a genius, without a backing trajectory, it is impossible to have an easy path.

"She's in America discussing the listing matter, so she's busy and has no time to come back."

Hiroshi Tanaka said: "But you can take your mother's place at the summit and attend with me. How about I introduce you to some people?"

Sakura shook her head. "No, I actually don't want to meet them now, and... if I meet them now, I'll only meet them as your daughter."

"I want to meet them personally in the future."

Hiroshi Tanaka was stunned for a moment and then smiled foolishly: "Girl... So you've decided to work on your own in the future?"

"Well, that's right. In fact, I also considered it when I applied for a computer science major."

Sakura said with a smile: "I don't want to rely on your parents' reputation to enter Kensaku after graduation. It's better for you, Mom and Dad, to give me some money and let me work on my own."

"That's... fine, but I thought you wouldn't want our help and would work on your own."

Hiroshi Tanaka affectionately stroked her hair and said with a smile:

"How is that possible? I still lack some self-awareness. How long will it take for me to earn money and work on my own to achieve results? Ten thousand years is too long. We must seize the moment," Sakura said seriously.

"And what have you decided to do?" Hiroshi Tanaka asked with a smile.

"I've observed that on the internet in Japan, the search engine is Kensaku, your father's, and I can't go against myself, right?" Sakura said with a smile.

"Girl."

Hiroshi Tanaka smiled helplessly.

"For chatting and communication, there's Penguin; for music software, Net Cloud; for online shopping, Ali; for manga, Akatsuki; for communicating with like-minded people, there's a forum. It seems like there's everything, but in fact, I think many things are still missing."

Sakura looked at Hiroshi Tanaka and said:

"Tell me."

Hiroshi Tanaka smiled slightly and said.

"I think there are still many leading companies missing in the entertainment sector, such as online novel and video animation companies!" Sakura said.

However, Hiroshi Tanaka shook his head and added: "It's not that there are no leading online novel and video websites. In fact, Kensaku's senior management met and decided to start in these two areas. We will acquire two companies and support their growth and development."

"Two of them are relatively large companies in their respective sectors. I'm quite optimistic about it."

"But among video websites, only Youdou.com is larger, but what about anime video websites?"

Sakura looked at Hiroshi Tanaka with a mischievous expression.

Hiroshi Tanaka was stunned and then asked: "Sakura, are you referring to... video websites focused on animation?"

Sakura smiled and said: "Yes, I'm referring to animation... No, it should be said it's a video website focused on ACG culture. Dad, you don't think ACG culture enthusiasts will be a niche, do you?"

"I've investigated. Since the millennium, the number of ACG culture enthusiasts in Japan has continued to increase. According to my observations in current ACG, animation, and manga forums, the statistics

from the top three ACG forums in the past two years... By the end of last year, the number of participants in the top three ACG forums exceeded 2.23 million, and by the end of last year, it exceeded 2.8 million! This increase is almost 26%!" —Sakura said with bright eyes.
