Upon arriving at Miyuki's house and dropping him off, Sawamura and Takashima Rei continued in the car towards Nagano Prefecture.
"Aren't you coming up for a tea?"
Upon reaching home, Miyuki warmly extended an invitation with a teasing smile.
"No I won't! Go! Go! Don't disturb my vacation!"
Sawamura shook his head like a drumbeat and declined Miyuki's invitation.
Every family has its own difficulties. Why should he trouble Miyuki like this?
The car sped through the wind, though that might not be the most fitting term. It was either uphill or downhill; Japan's terrain rarely features long flat roads. After traversing for a while, they finally arrived at Sawamura's home in Nagano Prefecture.
"Don't you want to come in and rest for a while?"
Sawamura politely extended the invitation. While Takashima Rei hadn't come to Nagano Prefecture solely to escort him, now that they were here, it was proper to give an invitation.
"I'd rather not disturb your family reunion time. I'll head to the hotel first. I'll reach out if I need anything."
"Okay!"
Takashima Rei's 'if I need anything' might refer to needing Sawamura's help when she's in a tough spot.
At this point, Takashima Rei didn't know that Sawamura had already made plans with his former classmates to help them plan for the future.
This generation of the Akagi baseball team couldn't win the Champion. They didn't even make it out of Nagano Prefecture, stopping at the top four.
However, this graduating class was the most troublesome.
Unlike the previous grade where only Hosho and Oda continued playing baseball in high school, others in Eijun's grade didn't have a particular attachment to playing baseball. If they were good at it, then it is fine; if not, no big deal.
So it was straightforward to help them plan. If they didn't want to play baseball, they could always brag in high school about having already won the National Championship, which wasn't much fun.
But Sawamura estimated that no matter who they were, once they entered high school, they would surely be sought after by their teams. After all, where could you find such a bargain as a national champion player? And they weren't joining typical Famous School, their own abilities were just average. In their own team, even Aoi and others could thrive.
After all, Eijun had coached them for three whole years. Due to their limited talents, they didn't have a chance to reach the top. However, there was no problem for them as an excellent baseball player in ordinary high schools or as an average player in Famous High Schools.
Most of the classmates from Akagi Junior High School's baseball team didn't have big ambitions. When they entered high school, except for Yamaguchi, they all chose ordinary high schools.
On the other hand, this generation, despite not achieving much academically, was mostly trained in baseball from a young age. Their ideals and pursuits for baseball far exceeded those of the previous two generations.
Helping them plan for the future was indeed a headache. It's no wonder Sano (the Akagi Team President) couldn't handle it and sought Sawamura's help.
Shaking off these thoughts, Sawamura Eijun pushed open the door of their house with a smile, carrying big and small bags.
"I'm back!"
Inside the house, chaos ensued once again.
Whether they liked the gifts Sawamura gave them or not, everyone greeted him with smiles.
Sawamura became famous, his endorsement fees increased, and with some investments of his own, money was not a problem at home.
If it weren't for Grandpa insisting on continuing the Farming business at home, Sawamura Eijun would have wanted his family to move to Tokyo.
As for investments, Sawamura himself had no expertise. However, his Assets Manager insisted on him learning a bit about financial management before his regression, in his words 'This is your only lifeline outside baseball, if you can't play Baseball anymore for some reason, you can still do this'.
At that time, Sawamura tried to use his heavy schedule as an excuse, and in the end, he only learned the basics as his asset manager would put it.
First, buy real estate where development is fast. It's an absolute win-win situation, without worrying about money staying in your hands.
If you're not sure where development is fast, buy in the most prosperous areas. As long as you don't encounter earthquakes or natural disasters, these homes are bound to be worth their size in gold.
Apart from this, buy stocks that are sure to rise. Sawamura Eijun wasn't sure about the specifics of this matter, but he knew which companies would develop well in the future.
For example, Apple, Amazon, and Alibaba.
Buy these stocks, and your money will snowball.
With Eijun's future knowledge, making money wasn't difficult. It is sure like the hand of Midas.
There is also the option of when you are lost, go to the investment firms and choose the safest option.
Accumulating initial capital is the most difficult part of this process. Eijun's endorsement fees solved the problem of his initial capital accumulation, leaving the rest to roll these funds like a snowball.
Of course, this simple and rough financial management won't always be smooth sailing. However, Sawamura wasn't worried. When he made it to the big leagues, he would meet his important friends and his manager again.
Then leave the money matters to them, and Sawamura Eijun would just play baseball seriously without worrying about the rest.
Sawamura had been famous since the second year of middle school, and now it had been exactly two years. Over these two years, the fame of the Great Demon King had grown, and Eijun's endorsement fees had also increased.
However, compared to his current assets, the total income from Eijun's endorsements so far didn't even amount to one-fifth.
Whether he had money or not, Sawamura Eijun didn't change his lifestyle habits and conduct. For him, whether there was a lot of money or a little didn't affect his life.
Of course, As long as it didn't go against his principles, more money was better. It could solve many problems in his life, his family's life, responsibilities to his wife after marriage, and responsibilities to his children.
As the famous saying goes, money isn't everything, but everything needs money.
Sawamura's Assets Manager had also said something similar.
"Money is a good thing! We shouldn't lose ourselves for it, but treating it as a worthless thing isn't right either."
Sawamura Eijun firmly remembered this statement. So after having money, Sawamura didn't lose himself to it. He kept it hidden well, and besides his family, few people knew how much wealth this prominent Great Demon King actually possessed.
To most people, he was still just an ordinary 15-year-old boy. Despite being very famous, this fact remained unchanged.
But who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary 15-year-old boy was already more rich than most adults?
