National Tide 1980

These days, in addition to those Guo family members who failed to get what they wanted, there are also some people who feel very painful.

Take for example, Yasuko Sawaguchi.

It is impossible for her not to regret.

At the beginning, she thought that Suho Ikuo was the one who had the final say in the Japanese entertainment industry, and she saw that he valued her performance so much.

She once happily thought that the biggest opportunity in her life had come.

If she could hold this golden thigh, she could not only get rid of the constraints of the contract, avoid being exploited by Toho Entertainment for several years, and enjoy the treatment that a first-line star deserves in advance.

She could even rely on the connections of the Burning System to quickly become a TV star, complete the gorgeous transformation from the movie platform to the TV platform, and further enhance her already popular popularity.

There is no doubt that compared with the work of carefully figuring out the role and working hard to make a movie every day.

For Yasuko Sawaguchi, it is obviously more tempting to appear on TV variety shows, or sing a popular song, and make a lot of money from copyright fees.

So she surrendered to the Burning System without hesitation.

She was willing to offend the two owners, Toho Entertainment and Mist Studio, and to destroy her credit and reputation, and to sacrifice her youth and body, in order to rebel and go out.

She gave everything to Suho Ikuo, thinking that this was an opportunity for her to easily climb to the top of the entertainment industry and enjoy success once and for all.

Originally, everything was going well, and Suho Ikuo did not break his promise.

She had just signed a contract with the Burning Department, and Suho Ikuo negotiated a GG endorsement for her for a beverage and contacted two popular TV variety shows for her.

He even booked her a female lead in a medical TV series with TV Asahi, and made arrangements for her to write songs with several famous music songwriters. Everything seemed to be getting better.

She had a bright future, and she could sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor, and wait with peace of mind for her to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix.

She no longer had to worry about the comments that she had to worry about in the past, because the most powerful part of the Burning Department was influencing the media.

There will be many people who say good things about her in the future, and those who say bad things about her will not be reported in the newspapers at all.

In the imagination of Yasuko Sawaguchi, she is the future Keiko Matsumoto.

In a few years, she will be on equal footing with Keiko Matsumoto.

Maybe ten years later, she can also buy a studio to play with.

But just overnight, Ikuo Suho's empire began to collapse, and all her unfulfilled dreams turned into gorgeous bubbles and dissipated.

Yasuko Sawaguchi now thinks that everything that happened during this period is unreal.

First, the Mist Studio announced the list of new actors for "Black Leather Notebook". The people who Matsumoto Keiko hired at a high price were all big names in the film industry. As a result, the reputation of the crew was reversed at once, and the rumors that the crew was short of funds were dispelled.

Even because these industry predecessors endorsed the crew, not only did this "Black Leather Notebook" attract the attention of almost all Japanese audiences, but it also contrasted how ridiculous and despicable these actors who resigned and left were.

In particular, the legal staff of the Mist Studio began to pursue responsibility.

Those who had been shouting and desperately protecting the interests of the Burning Department at the beginning were all silent. No one would be stupid enough to quarrel with the Mist Studio at this time.

On the contrary, artists in the Japanese entertainment industry began to look forward to the opportunity to join the crew. Even for a small role, several major agencies were arguing fiercely.

Because everyone knows that as long as they participate in this drama and can act with so many well-known actors, they will definitely be able to increase the popularity and exposure of the participating artists like taking an elevator.

Speaking of this, Yasuko Sawaguchi really feels bad.

She can't help but think about how much her fame would be improved if she hadn't made such a choice and stayed in the crew.

If she can be regarded as the "number one sister" of "Toho Entertainment", is she qualified to bargain with Toho, modify the "unfair" contract, and enjoy the due treatment in advance?

That's not all. Immediately afterwards, the videotape of Suho Ikuo's threatening words became the key evidence that would kill him, directly proving the fact that Suho Ikuo used artists to bully the entertainment industry.

He became a street rat that dared not even show his face under the public's angry public opinion.

This was the most serious blow to the Burning Group.

Think about it, even the leader fell, and they were beaten up by reporters. How could they have any future?

During this period, even the reputation of the artists under the Burning Group was questioned by the Japanese people, and the loss of fans was also serious.

For no other reason, Suho Ikuo was such a person who dominated the entertainment industry by any means.

The public would naturally wonder how he made his artists famous. Didn't these artists know what their boss did?

Those media didn't know whether they were venting old grievances or adding insult to injury, but they also worked hard to dig up scandals of the Burning Group artists to satisfy the public's appetite.

At this point, it can be said that everyone under the Burning Group felt that their future was in jeopardy.

Especially for the actress who just switched to this company, Sawaguchi Yasuko, she didn't get much benefit, but she had a lot of trouble.

This made her feel as disgusting as if she had eaten a rat.

But the problem was what should she do now. The career plan that Suoh Ikuo had made for her was now a piece of paper, and now she couldn't proceed as planned.

Even the GG endorsement that was halfway through filming, the other party regretted and stopped filming.

Then what is the point of increasing fame?

What future is there?

She couldn't even earn enough to cover the basic expenses of life.

Especially when she saw that even the internal affairs of the Burning Department were in chaos, and countless artists and staff asked to resign, she was even more flustered.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong had not had time to arrange an agent for her, and had always arranged her affairs personally. Now she couldn't even find someone she trusted to discuss it with.

She really regretted it, and at this time she remembered what her previous agent had said to her.

"Newcomers have to go through a difficult time when they start. Although they make less money, this time is also the time to lay a solid foundation for their careers."

"You have to be more steady and down-to-earth, first adapt to the intensity of the notice and the work of the crew, and cooperate well in all aspects. Don't rush to make money. As long as you do your best, no matter how good or bad the final results are, Dongbao Entertainment will not ignore you in the future."

"Don't worry, for hard-working artists, we Dongbao will definitely tailor movies and TV series for her. You just need to lay a solid foundation and develop steadily. A few years later, you can endorse if you want to endorse, and you can shoot GG if you want to shoot GG, completely at your own will..."

These remarks that she once thought of as farts, now think of them as truly responsible and thoughtful experiences for her future.

The dilemma she has to face now really made her realize the good intentions of her agent.

Originally, she only wanted to make more money, and always felt that her money was taken away by the agency, which was too uneconomical.

Now that Dongbao Entertainment has no money to share, she suddenly realized the seriousness of losing the protection of the agency.

Unfortunately, I left my previous agency, and I left in a very bad way. Now I can't ask my agent for advice.

Why was my original idea so naive? Oh, I really lost so much...

Sawaguchi Yasuko didn't speak for a long time. The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. I wished I could turn back time and choose my life again.

It's all because of that guy Suoh Yuxiong. If he hadn't said so nice things and deceived me, I wouldn't have fallen to this point...

I can't just let him go. He promised that he would be responsible for his current situation. Even if BURNING Entertainment Agency collapsed, this bastard would have to give me a lot of money.

Otherwise, how can she live in the future, how can she become famous, how can she enjoy wealth and glory, how can she have a brilliant life?

Humph, if I don't have a good life, he can't think of living alone.

Sawaguchi Yasuko made up her mind with an extremely pale face. She found the phone number Suoh Yuxiong left for her, reached out for the phone on the table, and planned to meet the man who had cheated her again.

The Mist Studio seemed to have set a very good example for her. Now was the time to get some inside evidence of Suho Ikuo to ensure her safety.

She still remembered that Suho Ikuo had shown off to her that he had troubled the Mist Studio because he had been asked by a wealthy family.

This news was very valuable. It would be great if Suho Ikuo could say it again.

Could it be that others could take photos secretly, but she couldn't?

At least, she could record it.

Yes, she couldn't care about anything else. It was a matter of lifelong future and was very important. She couldn't allow her efforts to go in vain.

What was she afraid of? Suho Ikuo was like a desperate wanted criminal who had already lost his power.

If killing was not illegal, she would have wanted to stab this dog with a knife!

…………

Sawaguchi Yasuko was not wrong. It was indeed the case. Suho Ikuo had indeed become an abandoned child of fate and no longer had the prestige of the past.

Apart from bragging, there was no real danger at all.

This guy can be said to be completely socially dead.

Now he not only dares not to show up in public, dares not to meet reporters, but also dares not to go home.

Now he stays in a hotel near Nihonbashi all day, relying on the hotel's facilities to solve the problem of food and accommodation.

How did he get into this mess?

In addition to knowing how powerful he was when he was besieged by reporters last time, it was also because he took action against the Tangu Restaurant and asked the Yakuza to mess up Ning Weimin's restaurant. However, the result was not what he wanted.

Not only did he fail to let his opponent know how powerful he was and negotiate a ceasefire with him, but he also caused more trouble for himself.

For example, after the Tangu Restaurant branch in Osaka was smashed, the Yamaguchi-gumi Wakato Takumi Katsu, whom he asked to help, called him and told him that because the Tangu Restaurant had a huge insurance with Nichido Insurance Company, under pressure from the insurance company, the Japanese police were doing their best to solve the case.

His men are now not only under investigation by the police, but also under pressure from the Yamaguchi-gumi, so in order to solve this matter, he needs to arrange for someone to confess and give an explanation to the police.

Of course, Ikuo Suho had to pay for this.

He didn't ask for much, 30 million yen was enough.

30 million yen, plus the 20 million yen he had originally asked for, Ikuo Suho had to pay 50 million yen!

This was one and a half times more than the originally agreed fee, and he felt bad about spending this money.

And who knows if this matter is over?

Will the other party keep asking him for money because things are not going well?

Not to mention, the situation in Tokyo is even worse. Inagawa Club's Toyohisa Eto failed to get things done, but instead blamed him for not investigating the other party's details clearly.

He also told him that Tan Gong Restaurant was a place protected by the second-in-command of the Daochuan Society, and that Director Zhao of the Daochuan Society personally protected the restaurant. These words scared him out of his wits.

How could he have thought that a pretty boy from China actually knew a local gangster in Tokyo? This relationship was stronger than anyone he could find.

So in order to take good care of himself and be careful about his own health and safety, he was willing to put himself under house arrest. After all, his life was important.

He didn't want to be accidentally stabbed in the back while walking on the street, nor did he want to experience the shock of a hired gunman coming to the office and shooting at him a few years ago.

However, these are nothing. The most irritating thing is that everything he has done is obviously for the Guo family, and he has not received any money. So far, there has been no benefit at all.

But how did the Guo family, who wrote him a bad check, treat him?

He actually came to hold him accountable for causing trouble in the hotel under his name. That bullshit deputy general manager of Guo (Xin) Company actually scolded him on the phone. Not only did he blame him for not handling the matter well, he also blamed him for being responsible. Guo asked him to be prepared to apologize to Tan Gong Restaurant?

Why! You still treat me like a human being!

Damn the Guo family, sooner or later you will suffer retribution!

It has to be said that Shufang Ikuo really regrets it now, and this feeling is even stronger than that of Sawaguchi Yasuko.

Originally, he only thought that Matsumoto Keiko was just a female star with a small amount of money, and her young husband was just a pretty boy from the third world.

He said he was running a restaurant, but he was just a freeloader.

With his own power in the entertainment industry and his influence on the black and white circles, he can naturally challenge them in any way he wants.

But he never expected that the other party's strength was really daunting.

It was as if an invincible monster was standing not far away, silently watching him fall into a trap. It was so terrifying that it was frightening.

And things have developed like this. He has been abandoned by the people who have always followed him loyally, and they even plan to use him as a gift to humiliate those he offended.

This was even more unacceptable to him.

If he had known earlier, why would he have to sacrifice his life for the Guo family! Why go to such trouble?

Even if you had some respect for Fog Studios, would things not have turned out like this?

Even if I have to admit defeat, I will find a decent way to avoid losing so completely and embarrassingly, right?

Or maybe it's because Wu Studio's strength is hidden too deeply, and they want to reveal their financial resources and connections early on.

How could I leave things without any room for change?

Wouldn't he have been plotted by Matsumoto Keiko from the beginning?

Could it be that this stinky woman has been thinking about her entertainment agency?

If that's the case, then I would be too pathetic, and the other party would be too terrible...

Zhou Fangyuxiong has been thinking about these things recently, and he already has some signs of persecution paranoia.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling ashamed and angry but also a little regretful, but he had to say that he was not at the end of his rope yet.

Finally, there is a little hope of happiness, and that is the Japanese stock market.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile and have a drink happily.

Speaking of which, the reason why he chose the Nihonbashi hotel to stay was because it is a prosperous place for business and finance in Japan.

The securities company where he opened a stock account, Sanyo Securities Central District Sales Department, is located on the ground floor of the building next door to this hotel.

So it couldn't be more convenient for him to live here and trade stocks. He disguises himself every day and only needs to walk for five minutes to enter the VIP room there and enjoy a separate space to operate his own stocks.

And he has recently invested all the funds he can mobilize in the stock market, including company funds, real estate mortgages, business loans, etc., totaling 6.32 billion yuan.

In addition, he also received twice the capital allocation through Sanyo Securities.

Especially fortunately, because God has been kind, the market has been good recently, and the stock he selected is a dark horse stock for which the securities company provided insider information.

It had only been seven or eight trading days since he made the big bet, but he had already made more than 2 billion yen through the Japanese stock market.

More than two billion!

This is equivalent to the net profit of all the offices under the Combustion Department and more than half a year, and he earned it in just a few days!

On average, he can earn 300 million yen a day!

This taste is so good!

The money he earns every day can never be spent no matter how much he spends it.

And at least there are people from the securities company who serve him like a god, which is also a kind of psychological comfort.

Now he feels that he is so stupid. He didn't make such easy money in the past, so he foolishly ran an entertainment agency...

No, maybe he was too timid. His fault was that he didn't make a big bet to fight in the stock market early, which is why he didn't develop well for a long time.

By the way, the stock market is not a casino, but it is better than a casino, because with huge funds and the convenience and inside information provided by securities companies, you will not lose at all.

This is the game that real men should play. Rich people can get rich quickly through this kind of speculation.

Then Matsumoto Keiko is so successful now because she dared to do it earlier and left the stock market with the profit in time.

He understands it now.

It must be God's blessing that he is in Japan.

Taking advantage of the current good market conditions, just like the green light and invincible Japanese economy, he will make money as long as he invests in the stock market, and his assets will rise at a rocket speed.

If he continues like this, he will make tens of billions of yen in a few months.

At that time, what will happen even if the entertainment agency is gone?

What if he is sued by the Mist Studio?

What if the Guo family forces him?

This world is essentially a money-based world. As long as he has a huge fortune in his hands, he can make a comeback at any time, and others will still be helpless against him.

It is not impossible for him to buy stocks and become a major shareholder of the Guo family business.

At that time, at most, he will hold shareholders' meetings every day to mess with the Guo family and see if the Guo family still dares to look down on him?

At this time, the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Suho Yuxiong's thoughts.

He picked up the phone carefully, and when he heard the voice of Sawaguchi Yasuko, he relaxed all of a sudden and was quite happy.

If nothing else, he occasionally had physical needs, and Sawaguchi Yasuko was the best candidate, which was why he left his contact information for Sawaguchi Yasuko.

As for Sawaguchi Yasuko's worried pursuit of debt collection, he certainly had his own way to comfort her emotions.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easily defeated. The current situation is nothing, it's just a little loss. When I finish the most important thing, it will be easy to regain control of the situation..."

"What am I busy with? Of course I'm making money in the stock market. I'm not bragging. I have special connections in the securities company and have made much more money than you can imagine recently. What's the big deal about Fog Studio? I want to invest in the film "Black Leather Notebook" anytime. So don't worry. If you are interested, I can also take you along..."

"How about this, come to me now? Let's have dinner together and have a good chat. Don't be unhappy, you know it's not convenient for me to appear in public now. So, you can buy yourself some gifts on the way, as compensation for you. You can choose whatever you like within 1 million yen, don't be polite, just buy what you like. Pay the bill first, and I will give you the money when we meet..."
