That was a shocking figure. Eric smiled as he observed our reaction. If I could gain this much profit, that would also mean Eric would be earning a lot from it, too.
Eric said, "I compared it with similar kinds of merchandise sales abroad, and I found out that their merchandise profits can go up to several billions in a year. If we convert that to our currency, that would be over tens of billions.
"This doesn't include copyright profits or other various kinds of profits. If we can globalize the project, the profit would be rather significant."
When Eric first took over the project, he hadn't expected much from it. When Zane explained his future plans to Eric, Eric thought that Zane was simply biased toward his girlfriend and that Zane was simply exaggerating things.
However, when Eric got to know more, he realized that the merchandise industry had a lot of potential! It also had many ways to bring in profit. Because of that, Eric finally had a shift in perspective.
On top of that, Zane promised Eric a large commission ratio. With that, Eric became all the more willing to put effort into the project.
Upon seeing the results, Eric smiled and said, "I shall get back to work now."
"Okay," Zane said, seeing Eric off.
Then, Zane patted me on my shoulder and said, "Hey, it's time to come back to reality."
"I couldn't believe it when we could earn 500,000 dollars. But I hadn't expected a sudden six-fold increase!" I said sincerely.
In response, Zane said, "This means the market is much larger than we can imagine."
