Trillion Game Stories
The story from Trillion Game, reported on the Pandai Kotoba page, tells the story of Haru and Gaku, two young Japanese men who managed to enter the world’s top 10 millionaires for the first time in the 21st century.
Trillion Game is a company founded by two people who started a business plan and initial capital from scratch.
Three Trillion Games shareholders (Haru, Gaku, and Kedoin) are invited to the house of Dragon Bank president Kazuma Kuroryu.
The meeting discussed the proposal to make it a wholly owned subsidiary of Dragon Bank through the stock exchange, and to marry Haru to Kirika, and make him son-in-law.
Haru, however, rejected the proposal and earned the wrath of Kazuma Kuroryu. Kazuma Kuroryu also stated ‘acquisition of Dragon Bank’. To raise funds and shape public opinion, he launched a net TV business.
Haru and Gaku, who are nobodies, look for the talent necessary for the company’s growth and increase the number of colleagues with the aim of crawling to the top. On the other hand, Dragon Bank acquired the American Internet TV company ‘D-REX’.
Kirika, who became the president of the Japanese subsidiary ‘D-REX Japan’, acquired shares in terrestrial TV stations one after another and offered programs to each TV station, while receiving advice from Hikage, who was knowledgeable about the industry.
He continued to increase the number of subscribers and earned a position as the sole winner in Japan. Meanwhile, Trillion Games launched ‘Trillion TV’ after collaborating with Keidoin and Sumeragi.
Among the terrestrial TV stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Haru receives anchor Akari Shirako and her producer Kunugi from ‘Tokyo Kawara TV’, the only station Kirika never cared about, and together they successfully start a news program.
