Chapter 95 Growth
Nakajima Hiro laughed indulgently along with him.
As long as the basic idea is correct, the details are actually easy to correct.
The problem is not big.
"Where's Yukino? Where did she go?"
Hiroshi Nakajima scanned the area.
Normally, she should be recruiting at this time.
"Yukino-neechan went to pick up the job applicant. Apparently, it's someone who followed the navigation and found the place we were at before."
"Oh, I see."
Fortunately, it's not far.
Sure enough, Nakajima Hiroshi received the text message very soon.
"An interviewee showed up without an appointment and I've already met her. She's quite pretty. Do you have time to interview her, Mr. Nakajima? What should I do?"
The information is plentiful and of high quality; this woman is very capable.
"Take it to the store, I'm here anyway."
Did you not make an appointment?
This is unusual even in Tokyo; either they're really in a hurry to find a job, or there's some other reason behind it.
He took out the takeout food and handed it to Asuka.
His eyes lit up.
"Wow, the staff meals have gotten even better!"
...This is not a staff meal.
"Let's start eating as soon as Yukino arrives. Don't wait for me."
"I just ate it, and it tasted pretty good."
"Is that so..."
Asuka's tone was somewhat disappointed.
For her, dining with Hiro Nakajima seemed to be something to look forward to.
but……
Well, at least there's something delicious to eat.
It seems that as the company has grown, Nakajima Hiroshi has less time for himself...
She was subtly conflicted; she hoped things would get better here, but she also wanted Nakajima Hiroshi to stay by her side forever.
"New staff are coming soon, should I go back and tidy up the house...?"
The girl's probing was tinged with jealousy.
"No, most of the reserve candidates don't get accommodation; you're an exception."
Hehehehe...
I am an exception.
Chinese food, once it's out of the pot, doesn't taste as good as it did when it was first served.
However, food is a romantic thing for Asuka, and she can always find sweetness in it.
Yukino returned quickly.
"Nakajima-kun, the person will be handed over to your department."
This was also a bluff orchestrated by Nakajima Hiroshi.
Don't call him "boss" here; we're all just employees.
The boss must remain hidden behind the scenes so that he never loses his value.
The newcomer was a young girl who wasn't even wearing makeup. She looked travel-worn and didn't have the air of an artist.
Yukino's so-called "pretty" is only by the standards of ordinary people. She would probably become more discerning after spending some time with Asuka.
Like the women who go to host clubs, and even Yukino herself, she is actually a fairly charming ordinary woman.
But for Hiroshi Nakajima, every single item he looked at was a problem.
This is considered an occupational hazard.
Similar to bank tellers, they see rich people every day and become numb to it.
After looking around, the other person fixed their gaze on Nakajima Hiroshi.
Where should we go for the interview?
In fact, she probably already had a guess, because when she looked at the interview room, her gaze lingered for a moment, and the same was true when she looked at the layout of the practice area.
This woman should have some knowledge of the industry.
"Come with me."
Nakajima Hiroshi was led to the interview area as usual.
As soon as she sat down, the woman took out her business card.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Momochi, your agent. We should be colleagues."
Although she didn't know why, she was immediately certain that Nakajima Hiroshi wasn't a dedicated interviewer, but rather the same agent.
Hiroshi Nakajima politely accepted it.
She then took out a stack of resumes.
"I have a team of artists under my management, but due to a dispute with my previous agency over resource allocation, I am currently looking for a new agency."
"These are all newcomers who are not bound by contracts, and they all have some training experience to varying degrees. You can take a look first."
"it is good."
Nakajima Hiroshi didn't say much, but carefully looked through the pages.
Most of them are unremarkable.
Image score generally hovers around 20.
She's the kind of person who, with stage makeup and some body management, looks presentable, but can't withstand close scrutiny.
She's even less likely to be a flawless beauty.
Their talents vary, but most have a basic level of singing and dancing skills, while other abilities are probably innate.
It seems that the company the other party belongs to is quite large.
Because in small places, people usually specialize in one type of dance, such as singing and dancing, to save on teaching staff, or they may even start by training backup dancers to be rented out.
"Since we're in the same industry, we can get straight to the point."
"We definitely need artists here, long-term."
"But as you can see, this is just a newly opened branch, it has just been renovated, and the staff and teachers have not yet been allocated. It may not be able to provide you with better resources in the short term."
"Moreover, we also use an incubation mechanism for newcomers."
"Doesn't someone like you, who helps people find new clients, need some kind of protection?"
Everyone is aware of the situation in the industry; there's no need to embellish it too much or engage in any probing or maneuvering.
"No."
Momochi shook her head: "My job is as a manager, not a philanthropist. No matter where I go, I am only responsible to the company."
"They are just resources I brought with me to the interview. If I don't perform well, it's okay if I'm eliminated before the results are announced."
"And I'll dig up even more."
Hiroshi Nakajima became interested: "Tell me your expectations for compensation and resources."
He planned to let the other party quote their own price.
Because this person, Bai Di Tao, did not explicitly state who her supplier was, it was difficult for her to give a price quote.
Of course, this is normal; it doesn't sound very good for someone who is still employed to be looking for work.
"Salary doesn't matter, as long as it's according to company standards. I mainly care about two things."
"First, I need stable exposure opportunities. At the very least, each newcomer should be able to complete the disclosure program and pass a round of paid testing."
"That's perfectly understandable."
Nakajima Hiroshi nodded slightly.
However, the fact that the other party raised this question indicates that in her previous company, some new employees did not even have the opportunity to disclose their purpose; they were recruited from the beginning to be cheap labor.
They don't even qualify as being raised to be backup dancers.
Hmm... this is a common occurrence in this business model.
After all, nurturing beautiful girls also requires start-up capital.
For people with average looks, they can be directly recruited to work as prostitutes, and once the money is made, they can be discarded. From a purely profit-driven perspective, this is a great option.
There are just too many people desperate to get into this industry.
"Secondly, as long as I can offer a lower price than the company's procurement, the training, equipment, venue rental, and performance fees for my artists will go through my channels."
"Of course, profit sharing is negotiable, whether with the company or with you personally."
That's pretty straightforward.
This guy is the same type as Kuroda; he doesn't care about the meager income his agent earns on paper.
What she needs is a team that can reliably support her peripheral businesses.
Of course, it's not necessarily like Kuroda's business, where all the shops are his own; it could be a collaborative profit-sharing relationship.
This explains why the Hundred Peach Blossoms Association cares about newcomers reaching the disclosure stage.
Because this guy earns money from the training stage to the exposure stage.
But if, like some companies, they directly recruit newcomers to shoot promotional videos or even benefit booklets, she definitely won't make much money.
"I need to see your training plan for new employees."
Are there any precedents for covering expenses from onboarding to disclosure of purpose?
It's fine for the agents to earn some extra money, as long as they can break even. It's just a matter of how much the company earns.
Ultimately, as long as you meet the zero-pressure start-up requirement, you can succeed in this industry.
Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the artist's contract is always in the hands of the company itself, which is the foundation of any company.
They weren't fighting over the same piece of meat.
"certainly."
The peaches from Hyakuchi were very well prepared.
