Chapter 479 Picking Her Up
Runa was in her house waiting for him to pick him up.
"Young Lady, are you not going to school?"
"My friend is going to pick me up," Runa said.
"Is it the one who is going to buy a game company?" Runa's mother asked after hearing the conversation between Runa and the maid.
"Yes, that one," Runa answered.
"Is he going to start a business from it?" Runa's mother asked.
"He's very creative," Runa said.
"You're going to skip school?" Runa's mother asked.
Runa shook her head and said, "No, but I might come late." She needed to watch Kirari's gambling match with the current student council later in the evening. She knew that she had been waiting for this moment, but she was too lazy to wait and decided to go out together with Haru to visit the game company.
Runa took a coffee and sipped it slowly.
"So you're dating this boy?" Runa's mother asked.
*Splash!*
Runa took a tissue and hurriedly wiped her mouth.
Runa's mother was surprised and said, "What? Really?! My daughter has a boyfriend?"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Runa was mad. She suddenly noticed that her smartphone was vibrating and took her phone. She saw a chat from him and knew that he had been waiting outside. "I'll go now."
"Wait, let me see this boy!" Runa's mother said.
"No!"
Haru looked at Runa's house and had her house that was very big with a European style. He saw that there was security outside, but only asked him some questions since the security knew that this car wasn't cheap. If it was a Toyota or Honda then this security might come to chase Haru away, but it was different when it came to Ferarri.
Then suddenly they saw Runa run away in his direction.
"Hurry up and go!" Runa said and went inside his car. She tapped his hand and was afraid for her mother to see him.
"What's wrong?" Haru was confused and he saw the mother of Runa. He looked at Runa's mother, who was quite beautiful with blonde hair and seemed to be from a foreign country. The woman was taller than Runa and her body seemed to be very bombastic.
"Oh, you're the boy?" Runa's mother asked while looking at his car. She knew that this car was a vintage Ferarri and the price wasn't cheap. She was wondering who the parents of this young man were.
"What boy, Mam?" Haru was confused and said, "Good morning, I am sorry to take your daughter to visit the game company."
Runa's mother smiled and said, "It's okay. You don't need to worry." She knew that the school wasn't that important for them and she supported them to do business.
"Mom! Don't bother us! We're going to visit the game company as soon as possible!" Runa said.
Runa's mother sighed and said, "Well, I won't hold you back. Just be careful along the way."
"Okay, Mam. You don't need to worry," Haru said.
Runa's mother nodded with a smile. Her first impression of Haru was very good since she could understand why her daughter seemed to have very complicated expressions when she mentioned Haru. Unless Haru was a lolicon, she wasn't sure whether her daughter could stop anyone from chasing after him.
"How much is this?" Runa asked while looking at his car.
"It's a gift," Haru answered.
"What?" Runa was surprised.
"Right, I need to visit my investment company first before we go to the game company," Haru said.
"Investment company?" Runa was surprised.
Haru nodded and said, "I need to hire a financial advisor and we can go to the company after I am done with it."
Runa nodded and said, "Sure, I am curious about your investment company." She looked at him and asked, "What company have you invested in?"
"Netflix and Apple," Haru answered.
"Only two?" Runa raised her eyebrow.
"Yes, only those two," Haru said.
"I know Apple, but what is Netflix?" Runa asked.
Haru knew that it was normal in 2009 for anyone who lived in Japan to not know about Netflix since at this time Netflix hadn't started their video streaming business. He knew that Netflix would only start the video streaming business in 2010 and after that, it would be a very smooth way for the stock price to increase to 2011 since the stock price would decrease because of the change in the business model. He knew very well that in 2011 that this was his chance to buy the 100 billion USD business.
"It's a video rental business in America," Haru said.
"Is it famous?" Runa asked.
"It's very famous in America, but not in Japan," Haru said.
"Then, why are you buying this? Do you have confidence in this company?" Runa asked.
"I have confidence in it and it might become 100 billion business in the future," Haru said.
Runa raised her eyebrow and seemed to not believe it. "I'll search for information about Netflix later."
"Just search away, but I don't recommend you to buy it now since the stock value will decrease in the future," Haru said.
"What about the Nikkei 225? Did you invest in any company in our country?" Runa asked.
Frankly, Haru didn't know much about the company in this country in his past life. The only famous companies that he knew were Toyota, Honda, and Sony. He knew that those companies would be the ones who led the economy of this country. He also knew that it was very rare for someone to start a venture business.
"I have an interest, but I won't do it now since I don't have that much money," Haru said. He thought that it was better to take over a company. He had an idea about which company, but he needed to be patient since his money really wasn't much.
"What's the name of your investment company?" Runa asked.
"Longinus Investment."
"Longinus Investment," Runa murmured and wouldn't have thought that this company would become a giant soon.
