Tokyo bubble life

"Naoki-san, you're here!"

Naoki Nagayama, who stayed in the office for an hour or two, finally met Wonta Nakai who smelled of alcohol. After he returned to Shuyou Capital, he came directly to Naoki Nagayama.

"Haha, Wonta-san, you drank a lot~" Nagayama Naoki saw Wonta Nakai who was blushing and quickly gave him a cup of hot tea.

"Well, the loan collection process is over." Wonta Nakai took a sip, "Although the contract has been signed, we still have to keep up with the loan time."

"Sure enough, it's the bank's style~" Naoki Nagayama and Wonta Nakai were sitting on the sofa in the office chatting, "When you deposit money in, the process is very fast, but it's too difficult to get the money out~"

"Hahaha, yes~"

But Naoki Nagayama knows that after the Plaza Accord in 1985, banks will open their doors to convenience. Money will depreciate if placed in a safe!

The two chatted for a while, and Nakai Wonta saw the map on Nagayama Naoki's desk: "Naoki-san, why did you get a map?"

"Ah, that!" Nagayama Naoki put the map on the coffee table, "This is a place that I think will appreciate rapidly in the next four to five years."

Nakai Wonta saw several circles drawn by Nagayama Naoki on the map, and some sections had special annotations.

"Although the land in Tokyo's core circle will definitely increase, these places are still in a low-lying state, and the purchase price is the best."

Wonta Nakai was a little confused when he listened to Naoki Nagayama talking about location, transportation, supporting facilities, future development trends, etc. Although he knew that land prices in Tokyo have been rising, he still had no specific standards for measuring the value of these lands. Not very familiar.

"Naoki-san, why do you know so much about real estate investment?"

"Haha, I understand a little, I understand a little~" Naoki Nagayama laughed reservedly.

Little did he know that in the future world, due to the rapid development of some first-tier cities, the value of real estate will increase rapidly, and real estate investment will become a national investment behavior.

With the information transmission on the Internet, various "experts, professors" and real estate developers' popular science, even the aunts buying food on the roadside can talk fluently!

"In short, Won Tai-san, although we will rely on General Fujitsu to make a fortune this time, what we really rely on in the future should be real estate investment." Nagayama Naoki said, "So, we cannot fall behind at this time."

"What do you mean Naoki-san?"

"Didn't you contact Keiko Fujita before?" Nagayama Naoki explained, "We agreed to long-term cooperation, and now the KTV under Shuyou has opened, and the results are very good. My cousin Nagayama Kaede has decided to continue to open it. There is a new store, and according to my estimation, other capital companies opening nightclubs in Tokyo will soon follow suit.”

"So... we also buy land and open a KTV?" Nakai Wonta looked over.

Nagayama Naoki felt that it was a bit ill-advised to ask Nakai Wanta to manage his investment company.

"Buy land and real estate, but you don't need to open a KTV." Naoki Nagayama said, "Rent it out and let others open the KTV. We will only earn a stable rent."

"But... wouldn't that make a lot less money?" Nakai Wonta said, "Didn't Naoki-san say that KTV has great potential?"

"Yes. However, real businessmen only make limited profits!" Nagayama Naoki showed an inscrutable smile on his face and forced himself to cosplay a show-off scene from the domestic drama "Tiandao", "This will last long~"

"." Nakai Wonta was in awe, "That makes sense!"

"But the money in KTV is a pity!"

Nagayama Naoki's expression immediately collapsed:

"I'm talking about Yuan Taisang, do you think anyone can open a KTV? Just a few days after opening this store in Harajuku, the underworld and the police came several times!"

".Forehead."

Wonta Nakai also thought that when opening a store in this era, one must be prepared to face the exploitation of Yakuza.

"Besides, we don't have enough people we can trust. So let's make some easy money!"

Nagayama Naoki's proposal was highly approved by Nakai Genta, and then the two pointed out the country on the map of Tokyo, as if they wanted to buy the entire Tokyo.

"Naoki-san, I will ask Miss Keiko Fujita to come over tomorrow and have a discussion!" Nakai Wonta said, "Speaking of which, should we recruit Miss Keiko here too? We also lack professionals in real estate."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"Haha, you can hire someone else~ Forget about Keiko-san, I have already bought a lot of properties from her. If it weren't for her, I would have to find another real estate agent~"

"Hi, I understand~"

Because he didn’t want to find a new real estate agent, Naoki Nagayama directly cut off Ms. Keiko Fujita’s career development opportunities.

But Keiko Fujita, who has already earned tens of millions in commissions, shouldn’t be angry~

Maybe she is not willing to leave the front-line sales position~

Since Wonta Nakai had already drank at noon, Naoki Nagayama did not drag him for another drink in the evening.

After driving back to Yamasakura-in alone, I prepared to cook a dinner for the first time in a long time.

It’s a day where your brain is too busy, so why not replenish your nutrition with delicious food?

I bought an extra-large Australian lobster from the seafood market and steamed it to focus on its original flavor!

As for the monster that their master had brought with its teeth and claws, both Yutaro and Meowtaro came over very curiously.

Nagayama Naoki quickly took the lobster to the chopping board of the counter, otherwise it would be bad if Yutaro's nose was pinched. However, Nyotaro jumped over and ran over, still teasing today's dinner without mercy.

Nagayama Naoki didn't care either. The cat's reaction speed was trustworthy and a mere lobster couldn't hurt him.

He first ground the pork belly in the refrigerator into mincemeat, then added eggs, salt, oyster sauce, MSG, pepper, etc., mixed it evenly and spread it on a large plate. He first steamed a meatloaf base.

Then start processing the main ingredients. After cleaning, use chopsticks to poke the tail of the lobster to drain the water. Then cut the lobster body in half, remove the shrimp lines, and cut into small pieces along the joints.

Nyotarou watched without blinking, and from time to time he wanted to extend his paw, but Naoki Nagayama slapped it away.

The gills should also be cut off the lobster's head, leaving a small head with dragon whiskers as a decoration~

When the meatloaf is almost steamed, place the lobster on a plate and make the shrimp head look like looking up at the starry sky. Add some green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, then turn up the heat and steam for six or seven minutes and it's ready!

At the end, naturally add some chopped green onion and red pepper foam, and then choke it with high-temperature oil!

With the sound of sizzling, the bright red lobster sat on the meat patty. The fragrance, the aroma of oil and the smell of spices mixed together to form a rich fragrance, which made Taro beside him start to drool!

Such a big lobster, plus the meat patty underneath, was enough to feed himself, so Naoki Nagayama didn't think about any side dishes.

The chewy shrimp meat bounced in the mouth, first with the taste of spices and oil, and then with the satisfying sweetness. The huge lobster meat Naoki Nagayama was extremely satisfied.

In addition to its rich meaty flavor, the meat patty underneath also absorbs the umami flavor of lobster, which is a combination of sea and land. The full gravy is the favorite of all meat eaters.

Naoki Nagayama was eating very happily at the table. Yotaro and Meowataro who were sitting next to the basin also got the soup and some lobster meat and meat patties, and they also ate very happily.

After the meal, he cut an apple as an after-dinner fruit. Naoki Nagayama was stroking his stomach on the sofa to eat. Next to him, Taro Taro was also lying on the stall with a lazy look, just like his master.

Only Nyaotaro was licking his paws on the verandah and looking at the scenery outside.

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard have fallen, leaving only lush green leaves. A few remaining petals are hidden in the leaves, making them impossible to find.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone next to the sofa rang suddenly.

"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~"

"Ni-chan, it's me!" Nagayama Tsuruko's voice came from the microphone.

"Ah, it's Tsuruko~" Nagayama Naoki responded lazily, "Is there something wrong with calling me so late?"

"Why does Ni-chan's voice sound so weak?" The voice on the microphone was very confused, "Is it because you have eaten too much and are digesting?"

Nagayama Naoki immediately sat up straight and turned his head to look at the ceiling of the living room, thinking that Tsuruko had installed some kind of monitor.

"Baga, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm just watching TV~" Nagayama Naoki said righteously, "If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly, don't delay me watching the show!"

"Ni-chan, you have changed!" Tsuruko's voice revealed a cry, "It turns out that good brother is missing! Return him to me quickly!"

"."

A black line appeared on Nagayama Naoki's forehead, "If you don't speak properly, I will die!"

"Hey!" He immediately returned to his normal tone, "Ni-chan, Waseda University will hold a Sakura Festival in a few days. Do you want to come and have fun? There will be a shamisen performance and a folk song performance~"

"Why did you invite me to the university's event?" Naoki Nagayama wondered, "Don't you know that your brother's going will cause a commotion?"

"...I told you there was a performance!" Tsuruko was a little embarrassed because she was responsible for the folk performance this time. "Bagani-chan, are you going or not?"

Nagayama Naoki thought for a while, and there really wasn't much going on recently, so it wouldn't hurt to go and have some fun:

"Since you, Tsuruko, invite you so sincerely, I will mercifully agree!"

"."

Before the other side erupted, Nagayama Naoki quickly asked: "What time?"

"Two days later, Saturday night at seven o'clock. The venue will be Waseda University." Tsuruko said calmly, "My folk singing performance will be in the second half!"

"Oh? Tsuruko also wants to sing?" Naoki Nagayama finally understood.

"Yeah, do you want to come over?!"

Nagayama Naoki had a big smile on his face: "Of course, I will bring a camera! I will definitely take a picture of Tsuruko crying nervously on the stage and show it to my father and mother!"

".eight/"

With a snap, Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone decisively before Tsuruko could curse! Let both Yotaro and Meowtaro look over.

"Shhh, kids can't listen to curse words~"

After all, they hadn't lived together yet, so Akina couldn't sleep in Yamazakura every day, so Nagayama Naoki spent the night alone on the bed in the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama came to the studio again~

"Naoki-san~he's here again today~" Itou Shuichi was reading today's morning newspaper, "You don't want to write another script, do you?"

"Haha, it depends on whether you are lucky~"

Nagayama Naoki looked at Yoshimura Otomo, "Otomo-san, that notebook"

"Ah, Naoki-san, I still need to use that notebook." Yoshimura Otomo took out a stack of documents, "What you wrote yesterday has been copied for you!"

Nagayama Naoki took the neatly printed paper, and sure enough, there was already the song "Summer" and the script of the movie "Summer of Kikujiro" on it.

What a thoughtful preparation!

"That's good~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, let's pay attention from now on. If there is an actor suitable for playing Kikujiro, you can contact us in advance."

Kitano Takeshi was still very young at this time and could not act like a decadent uncle. It's definitely not because Naoki Nagayama was too embarrassed to ask him to act!

"Hi~" X2

After the exchange on this matter, Naoki Nagayama went directly to Otomo Yoshimura to get the details of the current structure of the Shuyou Group and began to make calculations.

"Naoki-san, do you want to make adjustments to personnel?" Otomo Yoshimura asked.

"No, it's just to evaluate the current manpower and estimate the size of the tree friends in the future."

Nagayama Naoki said that currently there are more than a hundred people under Shuyou, and many of them are not in the studio, but in other places such as recording studios. However, the current studio is already very crowded.

"What's this for?"

"Of course we plan to move to the new headquarters!"

Yesterday, Nagayama Naoki spent most of the day planning real estate at Shuyou Capital, and naturally he also thought about changing Shuyou's headquarters. At the same time, you can also buy land and other value-added things, how great!

"The new headquarters?" Itou Shuichi was also interested, "Where is the plan? Ginza?"

"The land price in Ginza is too expensive, and the building is not cost-effective." Naoki Nagayama looked at his estimated staff size, "According to the current growth trend, our Shuyou Group will have at least more than 300 employees in the next one or two years. It needs The headquarters is huge.”

"Since we are an entertainment company, we may need some other functions in the new headquarters."

Not to mention other things, editing rooms, screening rooms, and small studios are all needed.

Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi both nodded: "In that case, it would be better to have a single-family office building."

“It also needs to be convenient for transportation and easy access for employees.”

"It's better to be quiet around~"

"The environment needs to be good, we are engaged in art!"

"Not in the suburbs either."

Several people began to discuss each other, and the pros and cons of each major administrative district in Tokyo were analyzed.

Naoki Nagayama concluded: "In short, we must change our headquarters this year!"

"As for the studio, it can be restored to its original function in the future. Xiu Yi-san, don't we also have a movie shooting base in our long-term plan? The studio can be one of them."

"Hi~"

The conversation in the office of several people was leaked in the afternoon, and soon the entire studio began to discuss it.

I had said before that I wanted to change the headquarters, but it seems that I am really going to take action this time.

At the same time, Takashi Honma, who was far away in Kyoto, was patrolling a courtyard with his young apprentice Shinkai Ishida.

"Xinhai, let's take a look at the overall shape." Takashi Honma said excitedly, "This is designed with reference to the style of Byodoin Phoenix Hall. It uses red columns, white walls, and a black roof. The overall look is... Favoring Tang style, gilded animal head"

Ishida Xinhai looked at the building in front of him that looked like a palace from the Tang Dynasty. There were four gilded words on the plaque, "Auspicious Royal Free", and he was very shocked.

"There is a living pool next to it. There is also a pavilion extending into the water."

After leading his apprentice into the house, Takashi Honma was still proudly introducing: "But Naoki-san is not a rigid person, the layout inside is much more modern, the latest materials are used in the decoration, and the windows are also made of glass. lighting"

Ishida Xinhai looked around, it felt like a high-end hotel here!

"Teacher Honma, does this courtyard belong to Naoki-san alone?" After pushing open the eaves facing the courtyard, Ishida Shinkai looked at the open and exquisite courtyard scenery with envy in his tone.

"Well, it's Naoki-san's private garden." Takashi Honma took a deep breath of fresh air and pointed at the large mountain covered with bamboo behind him. The family temple.”

"oh?"

Ishida Xinhai looked at the hill covered with green bamboo leaves. Among the green, there was a thin Shinto path extending to the top of the mountain, with narrow red torii gates along the way.

"The bamboos were planted last year, and they have come alive this spring. There are still many bamboo shoots~"

"The flowers and maple trees in the courtyard were planted just a month ago, and they don't seem to have dried up yet. They will be delivered in another month or two!"

Ishida's heart was filled with envy: "Will Naoki-san live here in the future? The life of a rich person is so enviable!"

"How is that possible!" Takashi Honma glanced at her and shook his head, "Naoki-san's usual place of residence must be in Tokyo. This is just a place where he stays during vacation."

"This courtyard is called the Red Fish Garden." He pointed to the red koi in the pool and said, "When the maple leaves turn red, they will look like red fish when they fall into the water. This is where I come to vacation during the red leaf hunting!"

"Teacher, what you say makes me even more enviable!" Ishida Xinhai was a little crazy~

"Haha, don't you have a holiday house project on your hands? That's for when you go to the hot springs."

Takashi Honma kept hitting his little apprentice,

"The life of a rich person is so simple but not boring~"

"Ah~~~ I really want to be a rich man!" The young girl couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted into the yard~

"Hahaha~"

"By the way, Shinkai-chan, if you wait until the end of the month, please contact Naoki-san~ You can let Naoki-san take a look here. If there are any fine-tuning that needs to be done before closing the house, we can still handle it."

Takashi Honma said, "When the time comes, you can also let Naoki-san check the progress of your vacation home~"

"Hey, I got it!"
