When Shin heard the question, a faint smile crossed his face.
There are rumors circulating even on the KiShin Community website about users speculating on his wealth. Particularly, in discussions about video games, Japanese and American gamers researching today's industry are often subtly reminded of Shinro Suzuki.
Undoubtedly, in the realm of the video game industry, Shinro Suzuki stands out as one of the key figures, widely recognized for rejuvenating the field.
While some video game developers, primarily in Japan, whether associated with KiShin, Tora and Suzuki, or other entertainment companies, are gaining fame for their game development, none can truly compare to the impact of KiShin or Shinro Suzuki.
Games like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, etc., have enjoyed immense popularity worldwide, with Shinro N. Sony prominently featured in the credits of many.
And with those immensely popular IPs, including the still surging popularity of products like Lego among both children and adults, two successful box office films, and groundbreaking video games and consoles, even those uninterested in gaming but familiar with business began speculating on Shinro Suzuki's wealth.
"I can affirm that the wealth I've accumulated is sufficient to support my efforts in aiding children and those in need through the KiShin Foundation," Shin stated with a smile.
Jenna, having observed Shinro Suzuki's tendency not to disclose his wealth during the investigation and employee interviews, wasn't surprised. Over the years, his reluctance to reveal his financial status became apparent.
Before Jenna could delve into her own speculations, she heard Shinro Suzuki's remark, "I can't disclose my wealth now, but I can confirm that I still lag behind Will Gates..."
Jenna was astonished, covering her mouth as she exclaimed, "Will Gates possesses a wealth of 12.3 billion dollars! Could it be..."
Her thoughts raced, considering Shinro Suzuki's wealth, likely in the billions. While she had gathered information and estimated the net worth of KiShin companies under him, his wealth trailing Will Gates hinted at a magnitude beyond her current estimations.
After recovering from her astonishment, Jenna proceeded to conduct a more in-depth interview with Shinro Suzuki.
Once the interview concluded, Jenna turned to Shinro Suzuki and inquired, "Mr. Suzuki, regarding the photoshoot..."
Shin recalled the upcoming Forbes Magazine cover shoot, nodded, and responded, "Alright... Can we take the picture here?"
Jenna agreed, saying, "Of course." She then readied the camera and summoned the translator, who assisted in the photoshoot by arranging lights. Once everything was set up, Shinro Suzuki took a seat in his office chair.
With the camera focused on him, Shin struck a pose, making the merkel-raute hand gesture. In his sleek black and blue-hued business suit, he exuded the air of a young and romantic CEO straight from a novel.
Observing Shinro Suzuki's cool pose, both Jenna and the translator were a bit astonished.
"He... He looks like the young boss from one of my favorite novels!" Jenna couldn't help but think as she gazed at Shinro Suzuki.
"He looks so intimidating..." The man assisting the photoshoot couldn't help but think.
"He looks so dreamy..." Shin's secretary, who was observing the photoshoot, couldn't help but think as she looked at Shinro Suzuki.
Posing for the photograph, Shin truly embodied the image of a cool young boss. If he were ever to be a main character in a business film, Shin would be perfectly cast.
After the photoshoot, Jenna, with a slight blush, nodded and thanked Shinro Suzuki for his cooperation.
As Jenna and the man walked out of the office, Shin smiled, unexpectedly finding the interview and modeling experience quite enjoyable.
"Well, that was exciting..." Shin muttered as he shook his head. Glancing at his secretary, he noticed her blushing and acting a bit awkward.
"What's wrong with you?" Shin couldn't help but ask.
"Um... No-nothing..." Hana stammered awkwardly.

After the interview and photoshoot, Jenna contacted her assistant editor. After a while, she decided to grab a meal at McDonald's.
"Phew, it's finally done..." Jenna said in relief.
Having researched Shinro Suzuki's background for weeks before the interview, she sighed in relief when it was completed. Reflecting on the cool Shinro Suzuki during the photoshoot, she blushed a little.
She opened her camera and reviewed the photos of Shinro Suzuki.
"I have a feeling that if this photo of Shinro Suzuki is featured in Forbes Magazine, it will be quite popular among young girls with fantasies about a rich man," she remarked.
Indeed, Shinro Suzuki, despite being Japanese, possessed a handsome appearance. As an Asian, his looks were relatively rare in the West, making him particularly attractive to many.
Whether her speculation would prove correct would only become apparent once Shinro Suzuki graced the cover of Forbes magazine.
All Jenna had to do now was return to the USA. She needed to process and transcribe the interview with Shinro Suzuki, then submit it along with the photos to the editors. The final decision on which photo would be suitable for the main cover would be made during this process.
