"Oh, KiShin Electronics? Ah, yeah, yeah, do you need some animation help for your projects?" Ishigi, although somewhat clueless about KiShin Electronics, tried to fe...

Shin and Lee Han were left alone in the meeting room.
Shin inquired, "How much does it cost to acquire a financially struggling animation company here in Japan?" He asked this question because the anime industry in this world was still in its initial stages, and animation studios were not in high demand compared to his previous life.
"I haven't checked yet, but I'll look into it," replied Lee Han, somewhat puzzled but willing to investigate.
Shin nodded and continued, "If...

The KiShin employees observed their new workplace with excitement. To them, this marked a fresh start and a realm of possibilities.
