Chapter 205 Aren’t you afraid that she will be jealous?

"I appreciate your generosity and recognition, but I don't have that much time."

No matter what his thoughts were, after Kurosawa read the contract, he didn't think about it at all.

Although signing this contract means that the firm will have sales of 5 billion yen a year, the price is too high.

"Could it be that you are terminally ill and will not die soon?"

Kawai Yoto really couldn't understand his decision, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

If we say that Zero Hour's life span is less than two years, that can be explained.

"No, I am in good health."

Hearing this guess, Kurosawa Hikaru rolled his eyes under his mask and shook his head.

He is not going to die soon? Are you kidding? His current body is so strong that he can kill a cow with force.

"Then why don't you have time? In just two years, you will have peace of mind for the rest of your life. What's more, you will be able to rank among the richest pianists in the world."

Kawai Yoto was determined to make a big gamble and was very persistent in this cooperation.

"I simply don't have time, and if I have 10 billion in two years, I believe I can make it without being so busy."

Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head, his words and attitude were very confident.

He has very little time. Firstly, he has to go to school, and secondly, he has to date Xiao Yuki and the others. There is no way he can travel around the world.

In addition, he could vaguely feel that tonight's performance would make the name Zero Hour resound throughout the world.

Perhaps other endorsements may not be as pricey as this one, but they add up to a lot.

"Then what do you have to do to agree? If you don't have enough time, we can discuss the number of performances again."

Unable to give up, Haruka Kawai decided to give in one more step.

"If it's two shows a month, it's limited to neon." Kurosawa thought for a moment and then said.

"That's impossible."

When Kawai Yoto heard this, he immediately shook his head.

Two games a month, 24 games a year, and 48 games every two years. Even if he could agree to it, the board of directors would never agree.

Even though he is a direct descendant of the Kawai family, there are still many people involved in Kawai Co., Ltd.

Just for the current contract, he would have to hold an emergency board meeting after going back in the evening to discuss and finalize it.

"Mr. Kawai, thank you very much for your appreciation and recognition, but I'm sorry."

Kurosawa Hikaru also guessed that the other party was unlikely to agree to such a request and reached out to him.

"Would you apply the same terms to a Steinway?"

Seeing him extending his hand, Kawai Yoto glanced down, then looked up at his mask with the number 0 engraved on it.

"Similarly, I won't have too many performances because I don't have that much energy."

Kurosawa Hikaru slightly nodded, very sure about this.

Perhaps most pianists rely on performances to make money, but this is definitely not the case for him.

He has to perform 60 times a year, every week, and he has to go all over the world, which is impossible for him.

"Mr. Zero Hour, I'm sorry that I couldn't cooperate with you this time, but I believe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Realizing that he had the same conditions for Steinway, Yoto Kawai immediately felt relieved.

As long as he insists on such conditions, it is absolutely impossible for other piano companies to offer such high cooperation.

In contrast, because he was the first to know that Mr. Zero Hour did not like a large number of performances, he might be able to discuss it with the board of directors and formulate new plans and contracts after returning.

"I'm looking forward to our next cooperation discussion."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw that he was also a decent person and nodded slightly.

"Excuse me for now."

The cooperation negotiations failed for the time being, and Kawai Yoto did not have any more small talk with him.

"Because you still have to go to school, so you can't agree to this kind of contract?"

When Runa Igarashi saw the big benefactor turning around and leaving, he realized that this discussion was over. After the other party walked away, he came to his senses and couldn't help but say.

The tens of billions of contracts just flew away. To be honest, she felt empty inside.

"Yes and no." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly.

For him, being a masked pianist is just a job for him to make money and experience a new life, not everything.

"You just said that you don't have to be so busy to earn so much. Do you really mean that?"

Although Igarashi Runa felt a pity, she also respected Kurosawa Hikaru's decision. She raised her head and looked at his profile... although she could only see the mask.

After tonight's performance, Kurosawa Hikaru has completely convinced her.

Today, no matter what Kurosawa Hikaru is capable of, she believes that he can do it.

This man is so amazing. He has such superb piano skills at such a young age. In time, he will definitely be known as the world's number one pianist.

"That's right."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, very sure about this.

"Any plans?"

"Album, peripherals, clothing brand, endorsements, plus concerts."

Kurosawa Hikaru has already thought about the direction he wants to take.

"Clothing brand?"

Igarashi Runa had already calculated other directions, but this clothing brand was really beyond her expectation.

"The essence of Zero Hour's image lies in the mask, not the tuxedo. I plan to design costumes and rely on this image to promote it."

Kurosawa nodded slightly, raised his right hand, and gently tapped his mask with his index finger.

Perhaps he thought his proficient painting skills were of little use yesterday, but today's performance allowed him to find a new direction.

His proficient painting skills allow him to draw any picture he can imagine in his mind.

His entry-level makeup skills have given him a clear understanding of dressing and fashion.

Combining the two, he is sure to design beautiful clothes.

The amount of money you can earn from just selling albums is limited, but when you add it to other fields, the upper limit is very high.

"Yes, you can also draw..."

After learning about this development direction, Igarashi Runa suddenly remembered something.

Not only can this guy play the piano, he is also very good at painting.

"If I reject this contract, will you be unhappy?"

Kurosawa Hikaru looked down at her, a little worried about her feelings.

The contract of 10 billion yen is divided according to the equity. If this sky-high endorsement is signed, even if the tax must be paid first, Ms. Runa will get at least 1 billion yen and become a little rich woman directly.

In other words, losing one billion in such an understatement would make it uncomfortable for anyone.

"How could I be unhappy? It would be better to say that I am very happy."

Hearing this statement, Igarashi Runa might not be able to recover for a while, but after thinking about it seriously, she shook her head and a smile appeared on her face.

"real?"

"Although I was really surprised by the two-year, 10-billion contract just now, and I felt very pleasantly surprised, but when I calm down and think about it, earning 10 billion in two years is not enough for us to enter Ginza together."

Sensing that he was worried about his feelings, Igarashi Runa reached out and patted his back, confirming.

Maybe she missed out on a sky-high price cooperation, but apart from worrying about gains and losses at the beginning, now that she has calmed down, she is only happy and excited.

First, a piece of piano music was sold for 300 million, and now it’s a contract worth tens of billions... How long has it been since they started their business? It’s only half a month.

The commercial value shown by Kurosawa Hikaru as Zero Hour is terrifying. Ten billion yen is just the beginning.

"That's good."

Seeing that she was both excited and happy, Kurosawa Hikaru immediately felt relieved.

"You care so much about my feelings, aren't you afraid that your sweetheart will be jealous?"

Igarashi Runa noticed that he breathed a sigh of relief and teased with a snicker.

This Kurosawa is really bold, taking advantage of Chizuru's absence to directly introduce him to his sweetheart.

But based on this, it is not difficult to see that their last date went very smoothly and was very wild...after all, they even took off their stockings in the car.

"She can't see it."

Kurosawa Hikaru shrugged, feeling that what he said just now was very bold.
To be continued...
