To answer the first half of your question:
4*1,000*1,000,000 = 4,000,000,000 (4 billion)

To answer the second half of your question:
Because the previous scanlation groups aren't fluent English speakers; the first being natively Spanish, and the other natively Russian. On the other hand, I can be described as an English "Grammar Nazi", so that's why you'll see a significant jump in quality in later chapters.

By the way, a bit of trivia:
1 Oku is (1 hundred million), a Japanese unit. So 40*(100*1,000,000)= 4,000,000,000 (4 billion). So that's where the "40-Oku" in the title comes from.

A billion is a thousand million in some places and one million millions in others.
(Way too fucking necro, but hey)

There is often a joke within finance that "If you really hate someone, give them a lottery ticket."

Studies has shown that people, after winning a lottery, generally became less happy. Becoming paranoid that people want their money, social seclusion, feeling alone within the sea of people who visit them...

After knowing this I kinda feel sorry for the guy as well as other lottery winners.

@Harry_Dong You're such a tease...

Spoiler

@Thunderlord2300 it's $36,154,596

"Money is not everything in this life" says man with 4 billion yen.

 

[yoraphcool]

4 thousand million yen ......

 

[Anony6152]

They say a fool and his money will soon be parted and considering how little thought he's putting into making decisions, that 4 billion yen will soon be spent into oblivion.

 

[IronicWeeabo]

@Anony6152

*400 billion

He could do that every day for a couple of years and still have a lot of money to spare to live his entire life comfortably tho.

4,000 (1,000,000) = 4,000,000,000 JPY = 40,000,000 USD.

If you get taxed 25% Federal Income and 4% State Income Tax (CO for example), then you'll bring home $ 28,400,000.

If you spend $60,000 per year for living cost, then it'll be good for 473 years.
Let's assume that you're buying a house worth of $1.4M. That shortens things up to 450 years.

Yep, even if you buy new car every 5 year, you'll not need to worry about money. Just don't get scammed.

 

[Lonewolf22]

AHAHAHAHAHA I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF CAUSE OF THE CONVENIENCE THAT THERE IS A CART RIGHT WHEN HE NEEDED SOMETHING XD XD XD

 

[Sonny6155]

He paid for the cart with a fat stack of cash on the "I'm sorry" sign. My man.
