Tokyo bubble life

Roppongi, late at night.

In the dim box, the colorful lights make people confused, the music makes people sing loudly, and the drinks persuade people to lose their reserve. The psychedelic atmosphere makes the small box seem to condense the feasting and feasting of Tokyo.

In a small private room of the KTV, six or seven people were playing a drinking game lively. As the dice on the small table stopped, bright red numbers appeared.

"Four, five, six! Brother Feng, drink and drink!"

Ozaki Takao, whose face was red, smiled at Nagayama Kaede, and the drinking princess next to him was also making noises.

Although they all know that Yong Shanfeng is the boss, the atmosphere has been heightened to this point. What’s wrong with the boss? How can he not drink!

Yongshan Feng didn't say anything. He took a bottle of beer from the wine tray and drank it. Several people around him were cheering, and for a while everyone seemed to be laughing.

The drinks in KTV are generally low-alcohol beers, because most people come to sing and only need a little alcohol to warm up the atmosphere.

Of course, there are also options for spirits, including vodka, whiskey, etc. There are also separate freshly made cocktails on the wine price list, etc. If you want to drink, you will definitely be able to drink it.

A bottle of beer can probably only be regarded as a glass of thirst-quenching water for Yongshan Kaede. After drinking the wine, he can continue to the next round of the game~

"Naoki-san, you can go sing!" Hisahiko Ono put down the microphone, with excitement in his voice, "The next song should be Naoki-san's song!"

"Haha, I'll do it then~"

Nagayama Naoki's singing skills are not as good as those of his girlfriend. Of course, there are very few people in Tokyo who can match Akina, but in KTV, there is no problem in making a guest appearance as Mai Ba!

"Jealous" is indeed Naoki Nagayama's own song!

"

As long as two people can be together~

As long as we hold hands, it will be fine~

"

The brisk melody reverberated in the box, and the refreshing singing voice was very comfortable to listen to. The three girls who persuaded him to drink clapped their hands and beat the music. Even Nagayama Kaede and a few other men couldn't help but stop and listen to Nagayama Naoki singing.

After the song ended, Hisahiko Ono sighed: "He is indeed a famous musician, and his singing skills are indeed much better than ordinary people."

"Haha, it's the KTV private rooms that make the singing effect so good~ The closed environment is like abdominal resonance, making the songs more moving."

Nagayama Naoki himself didn’t know what he was talking about, but it sounded pretty bluffing.

"So, who's coming next?"

Yong Shanfeng's slightly drunk face showed an eagerness to try:

"Then how about I perform a song for everyone?"

"No, no, no!" "Don't!" "Brother Feng, please sit still!"

"Store manager Sang, let's forget it!"

"Customers are God, we should make them happy!"

In an instant, everyone in the box spoke out to stop him, including several subordinate wine-grooming princesses. It can only be said that a song that Yong Shanfeng tried to sing before left everyone with a psychological shadow!

Takao Ozaki, who had a cold sweat on his forehead, quickly took the microphone:

"I'll sing it, I just have a song I want to sing!"

With a look of pity on Kaede Nagayama's face, Takao Ozaki hurriedly led a drinking princess to start the chorus, letting the others breathe a sigh of relief. My cousin's singing voice really has the skills of the fat tiger in Doraemon!

Even Hisahiko Ono said: "It's fun to drink with Brother Feng, but forget about singing!"

Hearing this, Yongshan Feng drank another beer angrily~

After three rounds of drinking, the novelty of coming to the KTV was almost gone, and it was time for everyone to take a short rest. This was the perfect time to talk about business.

"Brother Kaede, Naoki-san." Hisahiko Ono said, "After the KTV in Harajuku last time and the KTV in Roppongi this time, I really felt the potential of this new type of nightclub.

So I want to open one and give it a try~”

Hisahiko Ono, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, did not have so many twists and turns in his speech. He said directly to Kaede Nagayama:

"Brother Feng, Naoki-san told me before that you are solely responsible for the KTV business. I wonder if I can also participate?"

Although he drank a little, Nagashan Kaede was not drunk at all now. After listening to Ono Hisahiko's words, he thought for a moment:

"Shou Yansang, this KTV business is invested by my family. Is this clear to me?"

"Hi, I've inquired about the Nagayama-gumi in Shizuoka." Hisahiko Ono has naturally done some research. "But KTV shouldn't be a property of the Nagayama-gumi, right?"

"Of course not. To put it bluntly, this business is the family's attempt to change into a legitimate industry, so we will try our best to draw a clear line with the Yakuza."

Yongshan Feng didn’t hide it either.

"Although opening a KTV will inevitably use the name of the Yakuza to scare off some guys, the accounts will never be related to the Yakuza."

Most nightclubs in Tokyo are like this, and they will be more or less related to the Yakuza, otherwise simple protection fees will be a big trouble.

However, if there is no connection in the accounts, then it can be regarded as a legitimate business.

As for the investment behind it?

Didn’t a certain Piltover life coach say that? This world is neither black nor white, it is a delicate gray.

"Then it doesn't matter." Ono Hisahiko said, "We won't care about this."

As a family of a pharmaceutical company, we can only know more about the dark side of society.

"I just want to do something I like. I can invest in shares, with probably hundreds of millions of dollars, and I can also get some land leases at low prices. I can also help with official matters and taxation.

But in a certain city, you must open a famous KTV! "

Yongshan Feng did not refuse. Growing up in Ji Dao, he knew very early that there was no future in fighting alone. If you want to win, you must work together!

"Well, Shou Yansang, you are welcome to join us."

Yong Shanfeng extended his hand, and the subsequent specific contracts and cooperation plans would of course be discussed after he sobered up and then be handled by lawyers.

"Well, Brother Feng, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Hisahiko Ono held Kaede Nagayama's hand. If we want to describe it with a sense of fate, it can be said that the gears of fate began to turn from then on.

At this time, Ozaki Takao finished singing, and he was very curious to see the two shaking hands:

"What are you doing? Did you make any agreement without telling me?"

"Shouyan-san has decided to participate in the operation of KTV." Nagayama Naoki explained with a little help, "Didn't I say it before? He is somewhat interested in KTV."

"Huh? Shouyan, you actually want to open a nightclub without saying a word!" Ozaki Takao was surprised, "You don't want to take me with you?"

".Xiaoxiong, don't you want to take care of your family's company?"

Hisahiko Ono looked at his friend with some confusion. As an only son, if you inherit a large construction company and business by yourself, why would you open a nightclub?

"But I" In fact, Ozaki Takao was just unhappy that his friend didn't want to play with him.

Nagayama Naoki interrupted: "Takao-san, you can't participate even if you want to."

"Why?"

"Isn't it because all your pocket money was invested in Shuyou Capital?" Nagayama Naoki said, "After signing a one-year management agreement, you are now completely broke!"

"I" Ozaki Takao was very unconvinced and wanted to say something.

"Do you want to ask your father for money?"

With one sentence, Ozaki Takao's anger was extinguished. If he wanted to ask his father for money, would he lose face?

I’m definitely thinking about inheriting the family business again!

Maybe we'll go on a blind date, get married, have kids, etc.

At the same time, Fujioka Koshiko, Fujisawa Naoshi and others in another box were also having a good time.

Especially Fujioka Koshiko, hugging a drinking princess and happily singing off-key songs.

The expression of the princess who persuaded people to drink did not change. As a princess who persuaded people to drink, it was inevitable that she would be taken advantage of. She was mentally prepared when doing this job.

but

This man's singing was really off-key, and he could be said to be tone-deaf, but his subordinates seemed to be listening to a concert, constantly beating the beat, and even cheered when the song was finished. It was a completely flattering image.

At such a young age, Fujioka Yoshiko was able to be airborne as the general manager of Itochu Corporation, naturally because of his background. Fujioka's surname is immediately connected to the Fujiwara family. There is also a city in Gunma Prefecture named after his family. Named after his surname!

"Fujisawa!" After Koshiko Fujioka finished singing a song, she put down the microphone, took a break from drinking, and said to Naoshi Fujizawa very happily, "This kind of KTV is really interesting!

I have been playing in clubs and nightclubs in Tokyo for so long, and I have seen many similar ones, but this is the only one where I can sing so happily. "

Naoshi Fujizawa nodded quickly: "Yes, Minister Fujioka, I just think it has great potential, so I want to win the one in Harajuku. That is the first KTV."

"Why are you so petty? Can't you discuss the acquisition with them openly?" Fujioka Koshi's face turned red after drinking. "The store manager should laugh out loud when he persuades the bank consortium to acquire them."

"Minister Fujioka, it shouldn't be possible. That KTV has a background from the Yakuza Yamaguchi-gumi, so they won't agree to it."

Fujisawa Naoshi didn't mention it at all. In fact, he wanted to oppress Nagayama Naoki's shop and buy this industry at a cheap price when it was at a low point, so he hurriedly framed it. It was not until later that he discovered the background of the Yakuza.

"Yamaguchi-gumi"

Fujioka Koshiko's expression changed a bit. Of course the Bank of Japan Consortium is not afraid of the Yamaguchi-gumi, but he is only a minister of its subsidiary Itochu Corporation.

"Hey, my injuries were caused by them." Naoshi Fujisawa pretended to be pitiful.

"Okay, okay, who told you to provoke others first?" Fujioka Koshiko said directly without the idea of ​​being a gun, "If the acquisition doesn't work, then we will open our own one!"

"Anyway, the models of these boxes and karaoke are clear."

"Maybe it's not that simple~" Naoshi Fujizawa waved his hand and asked the drinking princess who was originally staying next to Fujioka Koshiko to go away. He explained quietly, "There is no technical problem, but in practice there are many needs that cannot be met."

He comes from the bottom and has rich experience.

"For example, in this MV, the adaptation of lyrics, subtitles and images takes time to produce, which requires the help of a record production company."

This feature of watching, listening and singing at the same time is something that other nightclubs don’t have, which is why it’s so attractive.

"We can entrust the record company to produce it!" Fujioka Koshiko said.

"But simply shooting, producing, and mass copying will probably take half a year."

Naoshi Fujisawa roughly estimated the time. Since it is a new thing, no record company can handle the production of the MV at this stage. If the filming, music subtitles, and MV production are outsourced to different companies, he arranged the schedule a little, and it will be very difficult. It was easy to come up with a deadline of half a year.

After all, other companies don't have flat management like Nagayama Naoki, so they can't respond as quickly as Shuyou Pictures.

"In half a year, KTVs will be opened all over Tokyo!"

That's why Naoshi Fujisawa wanted to directly suppress KTV in Harajuku before, and what he wanted was to get the entire business line in his hands.

Fujioka Koshiko was very unhappy: "So, we really can't compete with them?"

This KTV is obviously owned by the same owner as the one in Harajuku, and even the music videos are the same.

"Of course competition is possible!" Naoshi Fujisawa came up with an idea, "We can invest in building a few KTVs and then poach people from these two stores! We can even poach people from the MV production company!"

"No one will have trouble with money, and this can also slow down the expansion of KTV."

Learn the innovation model of small companies, then use larger capital to poach people, copy quickly, and use larger scale to reversely defeat small companies unless you allow capital to invest in and control the company.

Doesn’t the future Internet giant make all Internet practitioners understand it? !

This is the trick of capital! Even after decades of use!

Fujioka Koshiko nodded: "Then do it! Fujizawa, I'll leave this to you!"

"Hi!"

"You have to be fast!" Fujioka Koshiko turned around and looked around the box. After all, he still had a subtle education. "I can feel it, and then other slightly larger companies will react!"

"Faced with a piece of fat that everyone covets, they are more greedy than hyenas."

Fujioka Koshiko's words were very philosophical, and for a moment Naoshi Fujizawa thought he was some big businessman with a big heart!

However, Fujioka Koshiko turned around and asked the drinking princess to help choose a song, and he started singing again. He was a complete playboy!

When the nightclub opened with great success, the entertainment industry did not stop.

"The crew of "Love Will End Like the Rain" is inviting reporters to visit the cast?" Maruyama, editor of "Movie Newspaper" received a call from Shuyou Pictures.

As an ancient film magazine in the island country, "Film Weekly" has always been considered one of the most influential media in the film industry. Every year, there are countless movies that want to be featured in "Film Weekly".

but

"Itou Shuichi?" Maruyama knew that the director of this movie was a young director who had won the Best Director Award. "And there is also Takewaki Muga as the main protagonist?"

Takewaki Muga is also very famous in the film industry.

So of course, "Love Stops Like the Rain" naturally attracted Maruyama's interest.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!"

Anyway, after reading it, it is possible to decide whether there are any hot spots, whether to write a report, or whether to publish it.

Moreover, such invitations for interviews are one of the ways to promote the movie. The production company will give red envelopes to the reporters!

"Shuyou Pictures, I heard it is a very generous new film studio!"

Maruyama has already thought about the thickness of the red envelope!

"Wait a minute." Suddenly remembering something, Maruyama quickly looked through the previous movie reports and saw the director's first love, screenwriter Naoki Nagayama broke the news, and the theme song was also composed by Naoki Nagayama.

"This movie has a lot to do with Naoki Nagayama!"

"Naoki Nagayama, there has been no news since "April Story". I don't know what he is secretly planning." Maruyama thought silently in his heart, "Do you want to rest?"

"Still want to secretly ponder a big news?"

Anyway, I’d better go to the site tomorrow and ask the staff of Shuyou Pictures!
