Ryoko's Office, Tokyo Animation Studios, Elffire City.
The morning of December 25th was a usual one.
While in Theo's past life, it would be Christmas Holiday, in Azure Star, December 25th was just like any other day.
That's why Theo didn't have a problem working on that day.
But he still felt a little weird seeing the rest of the world treating that day just like any other day, he couldn't help but feel that, after all, he had lived most of his life in a world where Christmas was the most important holiday in the world.
But that didn't stop him from acting normally as he talked with Ryoko, they were discussing something very important.
"What? But didn't you say that you would only have money to start the streaming service operations in January?" Ryoko asked in a surprised voice.
"Yeah, but I received some extra money, and with it, you can jump-start the operations of the streaming service." Theo replied with a smile.
Yesterday, Theo launched his music album, and he received many rewards from the system.
Movie scripts, a car, and others.
But there was one reward that Theo was a little indifferent about it.
He received 10 million dollars!
He was indifferent about it because he knew that he could earn that money with his efforts, so he was not particularly excited about it.
However, he had to admit that with this money he could speed up one of his projects.
The anime streaming service!
The sooner Theo started the operations of the streaming service, the better and easier would be to launch the streaming service.
"That's great news, boss! How much money are we talking about?" Ryoko asked with an excited voice.
Ryoko was highly passionate about the streaming service that Theo envisioned.
She already could see the enormous impact that the streaming service would have on the industry.
They would produce their own animes and wouldn't be dependent on the TV channel's rates.
But first, she needed to know how much money she would have to spend at that moment.
With that number, she would be able to know how many animes she would be able to buy the copyrights of.
"10 million dollars." Theo replied simply as he gave a small smile.
GASP
Ryoko could not help but gasp when she heard that, it was so much money that she didn't even dare to imagine owning that amount of money.
Even with the wage of 50k dollars she earned now as the Head Director of the Tokyo Studios, she would need around 17 years to earn 10 million dollars, and that was if she didn't spend any money!
17 years!
With a salary of 50 thousand dollars!
With these arguments, we can understand how much money 10 million dollars was.
The majority of the world's population wouldn't even earn half of that amount in their entire lives.
And Theo was planning to spend this huge amount of money on his streaming service, just by that we can perceive Theo's dedication to his dream.
He didn't care that he spent so much money on a project that others would evaluate as a high-risk project.
After all, for a streaming service to prosper, there have to be good shows in it to attract the public.
But the price would be gigantic because the price of the copyrights of modern animes was enormous.
Theo would have to spend much more than 10 million dollars if he decided to put modern animes in his streaming service, and if he did that he would have to share the profits of the streaming service with the studios who owned these animes, that was because these studios would only accept selling the copyrights with a share of profits contract.
That's why Theo decided to buy old animes, with these old animes he wouldn't have to worry about sharing his profits, and even though their appeal to the public was much less than the modern animes, some people would still be interested in these animes.
After all, there were always people who liked old animes.
Plus, what would attract the public to his streaming service would be the exclusive animes that he would release on his platform.
This was an extremely risky move as he was betting the success of his company on animes that he didn't even launch yet.
What if it wasn't successful?
Other people would say that he was crazy and out of his mind to spend so much money on this risky project.
But only he knew that it was not a risky project because all the animes he would launch would become successful and popular animes!
That's why he didn't have an ounce of worry about his streaming service.
"Are you sure about that, boss?" Ryoko asked nervously.
She couldn't help but feel nervous about the thought of handling so much money.
"Of course! I trust you. And if you have any difficulties you can ask Sam to help you. The Umbrella Corporation is there to help you in any way you need, you have to remember that." Theo replied with a gentle voice.
He knew why she was so nervous, but she needed to get used to handling that amount of money as in the future the studio would handle an even greater amount of money.
Ryoko took a deep breath and her eyes shone with determination when she heard Theo's words, "Don't worry, boss! I will handle these purchases!" She said with a determined voice.
She was determined to become a better boss and learn all the ins and out of her position, so she already decided to ask Sam's help.
With Sam's help, she was sure that she would be able to handle this amount of money.
"I know, I will transfer to the company's bank account the money. You can handle that." Theo replied with a smile.
He was extremely satisfied with Ryoko's work, so he really meant it when he said that he trusted her.
"Anyway, how're the branch studio's operations going?" Theo asked when he remembered about the subject.
One week ago, Theo have a positive signal to Ryoko for her to hire the head manager of the branch studio.
They needed to open the branch studio as soon as possible because they needed to start recording the voiceovers from the voice actors to add to the episodes they finished already.
Because talented voice actors only operated in Sakura City, Theo was forced to open a branch studio there.
This studio would take care of the operations of the voiceovers.
Theo was curious how the operations were going in the past week, after all, Ryoko said that she would hire the head manager last week.
Amano Rio was Ryoko's friend from college and because of the reasons we already know, she was knowledgeable about business management and anime production.
Which made her the best person for the job as she was someone who could be trusted.
Theo also knew that tomorrow, Saturday, there would be an audition for the voice actors who would act in the [SAO] Anime.
"Oh, I have been talking and inspecting her work for the last week, and I think she had been doing a great job!" Ryoko replied with a satisfied smile.
She was extremely happy that she was able to work with her friend, and Ryoko could notice that Rio was having the time of her life.
Rio always dreamed about working with animation, so she was giving all of her effort to being the best manager possible.
"Look here." Ryoko said as she started showing Theo what Rio had been doing during the past week.
The more Theo inspected, the more he was satisfied with Rio's job.
Rio hired all the miscellaneous personnel.
Cleaners, janitors, assistants, security guards, and so on.
And she also hired specific personnel.
Sound engineers, sound designers, voice coaches, and others.

Everyone who was hired was inspected by Sylph and had a clean history, so they could be trusted.
It could be said that after one week of work, Rio made the Tkyo's Branch Studio in Sakura City fully operational.
They were ready to start recording the voiceovers at any time, which also meant that everything was ready for the auditions tomorrow.
Theo was extremely satisfied as he finished inspecting Rio's work, "Wow, your friend is extremely efficient, Ryoko." Theo commented in admiration.
"I'm glad you think that way, boss." Ryoko replied with a smile that exuded happiness and relief.
She was really nervous about Theo's evaluation of Rio's work, what if he didn't like it?
But it seemed like Theo was as clear-headed as always.
He was able to notice how efficient Rio was, and Ryoko was immensely happy that Theo liked her friend's work.
She didn't want Rio to lose the job of her dreams just after getting it.
"The auditions for the parts in the [SAO] Anime will start tomorrow at 10 AM." Ryoko commented.
"Hmm, we can watch the audition from here then." Theo replied with shining eyes.
He was really excited about the idea of auditioning the voice actors.
Would he be able to find actors with voices similar to the ones from his past life?
