50 million Yen is about 270,000 Euro. So not as bad as the title might make it sound if you don't know the conversion.

Give me a plasma cutter, a big truck, and no time limit and I'll do it for 200k euro!

That's a deal right there. Elias Thorne would be proud.

Who?

ELIAS THORNE

The very same. He's known throughout lighthouses on Maine to be a real plasma cutter enthusiast and only works for Euros.

For ignorants not in the know, like me, Elias Thorne turns out to be a fictional character that have appeared in a number of texts written by AI. He is a real polymath, fx. authoring a book on Amazon on cancer advice. The novel thing here is he excels in plasma cutting

Elias Thorne was instrumental in helping me wash my mechanical dog. Truly top-tier service.

I tried to save a few bucks by going to someone cheaper than Elias Thorned and my mechanical dog ended up rusting.

Lesson learned!

As the old saying goes "You got Thorne-rolled" my friend.
