Tokyo bubble life

As the night got darker, the number of guests in the izakaya gradually began to decrease.

After nine o'clock, only Nagayama Naoki and a group of people from the work team were left, as well as a few regular customers who ordered a glass of beer but couldn't finish it, and glanced over from time to time.

These days, there are no good entertainment activities except watching TV at night. I just heard that we were going to film a program two days ago. Why don't we stay and have fun?

The eldest brother Aoki asked symbolically, and then came to the side of Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki, these guests are all curious about how to take pictures. Is there no problem for them to stay?"

"Haha, there's no problem. However, we won't start filming immediately today." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "We haven't even invited the guest actors yet. Today, the crew is mainly here to check out the effects of the camera."

"That's it"

Yongshan Aoki nodded and didn't mention letting people leave. Anyway, he just wanted to see it wherever he wanted.

Just as he was talking, the person who had sent the things to the hotel came back, and Nagayama Naoki and the people who stayed behind went out and started to bring the things in.

Cameras, cranes, lights, reflectors, microphones, and a series of unknown equipment were taken out of the box, and then the crew began to get busy.

After the setup was completed, I asked my elder brother to try firing on the stove to see if it would affect the shooting.

Nagayama Naoki took the script and walked to his eldest brother and father:

"The filming will start tomorrow. Are your eldest brother and father familiar with the script you sent back earlier?"

"Of course, I will watch it every night when I go back!" Nagayama Aoki vowed, and his father Nagayama Ken also nodded calmly.

"That's great. How about the newly made dishes?"

"No problem, we can do most of them! There are also a few new ones, which are not difficult either!"

"This way there will be almost no problem~"

With that said, Nagayama Naoki continued to check the crew's camera setup. After almost all the experiments were completed, Nagayama Naoki asked everyone to put away the equipment and wait until tomorrow to start the official shooting.

After all this trouble, it was almost ten o'clock. After the crew left, the Nagayama family's izakaya also happened to get off work, and Nagayama Naoki walked home with his father and elder brother.

Because we often have to buy ingredients and transport them, our family has long been equipped with a mini truck. It's the kind similar to a three-bounce truck. His father, Takeru Nagayama, drives the truck, while his eldest brothers, Aoki Aoki and Naoki Nagayama, sit in the cargo compartment.

"Speaking of which, Naoki, when you didn't go to Tokyo, we often sat in the truck together!" The eldest brother Aoki looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly sighed, "I wasn't married at that time, and there was no weed. Tsuruko I haven’t gone to college yet!”

"Time flies so fast sometimes~"

Nagayama Naoki nodded. In the blink of an eye, he had been in Showa for more than five years~

In the night breeze, the two brothers chatted casually.

"Speaking of which, our family still has an apartment in Tokyo. How is it going now?"

"Isn't it rented out now? The house price has almost doubled!" Nagayama Naoki said, "Wait until next year, that apartment can be mortgaged, and then use the loan money to buy another one."

"You still want to buy?" Big brother Aoki was surprised, "Will house prices rise?"

"Yes, it will rise a lot!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Especially at the end of this year."

He glanced at his elder brother and didn't hide anything: "Neon and the United States will probably come up with a policy this year, and then the yen will skyrocket. If the elder brother and his father know how to speculate in foreign exchange, they can probably make a lot of money." "

"Foreign exchange?!" The eldest brother Aoki is a scumbag who didn't even graduate from high school, so naturally he doesn't know much about it.

And my father is an honest man. He only knows how to make money honestly all his life. At this time, he doesn't say a word.

"It is the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar. It is originally dynamic, but according to the policy direction, the US dollar should depreciate and the Japanese yen will appreciate."

Nagayama Naoki explained for a while, but when he saw the confusion on his elder brother's face, he stopped talking.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand this." Naoki Nagayama patted his elder brother on the shoulder, "Then just follow what I just said, mortgage the apartment in Tokyo, then add the appearance fee this time, and buy another one. Wait until If the price rises to a certain level, then mortgage again and then buy again.”

If this cycle continues, in the next five years, the eldest brother's family should own more than five properties in Tokyo. When they are all sold before 1990, they will be worth at least hundreds of millions!

In five years, from the owner of an izakaya to a wealthy man with a net worth of hundreds of millions, this class jump is already huge, at least more than most people in Neon.

This is something you can earn steadily, with no other risks and no professional knowledge required.

It's too profitable, and I can't control it! ! !

After returning to his hometown, Naoki Nagayama was surprised to find that his sister-in-law Xiangjia was in the living room with his nephew Wecao.

As for her mother, Nanako, she was opening gifts and discussing with her mother-in-law~

"Xiangjia? Why are you here?" The eldest brother Aoki was even more surprised. After entering the door, he first picked up the weeds running over and then asked.

"I heard from my mother that Naoki was back and brought gifts, so I came over with weeds after dinner. I thought you must come here first in the evening, so we just went back together."

Nagayama Kōka packed the gift and thanked Nagayama Naoki with a smile:

"Thank you Naoki for the gift, I like it very much. Ye Cao also likes it very much! Ye Cao-chan, thank you uncle Naoki."

"Arigado, Uncle Naoki" Xiao Weicao can now speak fluently. He is holding on to the electric car he brought back from the United States and is reluctant to put it down.

"Haha, weeds are so good!"

Naoki Nagayama patted Weeda's head. It was furry and felt as good as Taro's. He subconsciously reached out to Weeda's neck and scratched his chin.

But at this time, Tailang happened to run to the side and started barking.

"Ahem!" Before his sister-in-law noticed, Nagayama Naoki changed the target without leaving a trace and picked up the dog. "By the way, mother, is Nyaotaro back?"

"Well, it's in the cat's nest and I'm going to bed after dinner." Mother Nanako said, pointing to the cat's nest in the corner.

Nagayama Naoki walked over and took a look. It turned out that Nyaotaro was not fat, but seemed to be a little stronger.

"Nyaotarou, did you miss me?"

Nagayama Naoki's stretched out hand was pushed back by Meowtaro's hind legs. His slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be full of disgust, with a fierce feeling. From the original big orange, he became Sangbiao!

Regardless of the fact that Nagayama Naoki is close to the furry kid here, the elder brother, sister-in-law, father and mother in the living room talked and shared gifts. After Nagayama Naoki entered again, the old house became lively again after a long absence.

"As long as Tsuruko is missing, we are all here~" her mother Nanako sighed, "She should be fine in Tokyo now."

"That's great~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Before I came here, Tsuruko told me that she and her boyfriend would go to Kyoto to watch the fireworks! She also wanted to rent me a vacation house in Kyoto."

"Oh? Did you actually go on a trip?!" Big brother Aoki was very envious after hearing this, "It's so leisurely. Is college life so beautiful?"

"Who told you that you couldn't learn it back then!" Mother Nanako patted her eldest son.

"Naoki can't learn too?!" Nagayama Aoki felt aggrieved.

"He was fascinated by idols at that time and didn't want to learn." Mother Nanako didn't like her eldest son, "You are stupid!!"

"."

The eldest brother Aoki looked at Naoki Nagayama with pitiful eyes.

And Nagayama Naoki could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and instead played with Weedao about electric cars.

In the following time, Naoki Nagayama was drinking tea while stroking Taro who was lying next to him; his mother was nagging, and his father was playing with the tea set and listening silently; and his eldest brother occasionally talked to his sister-in-law Xiangjia. , and then came to tease the weeds who were having a great time

The close and ordinary interactions between each other made Naoki Nagayama daydream. In the future, when he and Akina get married, maybe they will be so intimate~

It wasn't until around eleven o'clock that the weeds were all sleepy, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law said goodbye and returned to their new house, and the old house finally became quiet.

After Naoki Nagayama took a bath, he lay on the tatami mat with his eyes closed, experiencing the bedroom in his memory where he had grown up since he was a nap.

The electric fan shook its head, blowing out a cool breeze, and it seemed that the sound of the waves of the sea could be heard in my ears. In such a reassuring atmosphere, sleepiness gradually came over me.

The morning in the small town starts with the rooster crowing.

Nagayama Naoki has not heard the sound of roosters in Tokyo for a long time, but there are still some people here who raise chickens.

Yutaro was holding the door open outside the house, eager to come in and find his master.

Last night, I had to close the door to let him outside, because the tatami mat was laid directly on the ground. If the door was not closed, the dog would definitely sleep next to Nagayama Naoki.

Only those who have tried it know what it feels like to have a dog with a body temperature higher than that of a human sleeping next to you in the summer.

"Okay, okay, Taro Ying, I'm up!"

Nagayama Naoki opened the partition door, patted the dog's head, and then went to wash up.

Breakfast was rice balls with pickled plums, cold kelp shreds and pickled cucumbers, but it was still a regular breakfast with an egg added for appetizer.

"Naoki, you won't come to the izakaya during the day, right?" my father asked while having breakfast.

"Well, the people from the program team will only come in the evening." Nagayama Naoki took a bite of side dishes and said slowly, "And I also have some things to prepare myself in the morning."

"Are you coming back for lunch?" Mother Nanako asked.

"As I said, I should be back." Nagayama Naoki thought for a moment and seemed to think there would be no delay.

"Now that I'm back, during this period," my father said to Nagayama Naoki after finishing breakfast, "when you have time, go and see your grandfather."

"Ah, you really should go"

The relationship between Nagayama Naoki and his grandfather was not very close. When he was in Tokyo, he only called him during holidays.

But since I am going to stay in Shizuoka for a while this time, I still want to visit.

My grandfather was very happy when he heard that he had won the Palme d'Or.

"I'll go in the afternoon~" Nagayama Naoki finally said.

"Hmm~"

His father, Ken Nagayama, drove his minivan to the izakaya without saying anything else. In the morning, you have to pick up the ingredients and process them. At noon, you have to start the business. Opening an izakaya is actually very hard work!

On Naoki Nagayama's side, after breakfast, he drove a convertible to the beach and found a boat parked at the pier.

"Naoki-san!"

Yamakawa Shigeko, the business manager of MURAYAMA Event Support Co., Ltd., saw Naoki Nagayama and hurriedly shook hands.

"Minister Yamakawa!" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile, and then looked at the moored ship, "Is this the prepared ship?"

"Well, this is one of them. There are five more ships still being loaded in Tokyo."

Yamakawa Shigekō took Nagayama Naoki onto the boat, looked at the large and small tubes erected in the middle of the boat and said:

"This is the fireworks this time!"

"Are they reliable?" Nagayama Naoki asked, "How are the fireworks compared to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival?"

"The same grade!" Shankawa Fanggong said, patting his chest, "Don't worry Naoki-san, the fireworks company is the same."

"But, this time we are at sea, will it be a little different?"

Shankawa Noggong nodded: "The wind and waves are a bit strong, but it doesn't matter. The people who control the fireworks are all recruited from experienced fireworks festivals and have controlled fireworks boats."

"There is also this one, we can see the effect today!"

"This puts me at ease"

Nagayama Naoki continued to ask about other things:

"There will be no problem with the water lanterns on the sea by then, right? They won't be knocked over by the waves or gathered together, right?!"

"Absolutely no problem!" Shanchuan Fanggong assured, patting his chest, "In order to prevent it from overturning due to the waves, we used fluorescent sticks!"

"And just like the floats used to net fish, they are all pierced with fishing nets. Not only will they not be lumped together, but they will also form a suitable distance."

"When it's over, just put it away and put it out!"

“Can those glow sticks still go out?”

"They are all one-time use and can light up for an hour! You can see the light even in the water."

Nagayama Naoki nodded with satisfaction, inspected the fireworks on the ship, and then let the ship sail into the bay to experiment with the fishing net-style water lanterns. Nagayama Naoki felt relieved.

"Then please ask Minister Yamakawa, I will give you the signal when the time comes!"

"Hey, I won't miss it!"

Yamakawa Shikong is very flattering to the big customer Naoki Nagayama.

Not only because he is a big customer and will provide a lot of business, but also because Naoki Nagayama has many novel ideas.

Not to mention lotus lanterns and fireworks, just using an airship to celebrate people's birthdays allowed their company to make a lot of profits this year. How can other big customers do this? !

He regarded Nagayama Naoki as the God of Wealth! ! !

Since it was summer, Nagayama Naoki naturally wanted to watch the fireworks display with Akina, but at this time, Akina happened to be on her national tour, and he had to produce "Midnight Diner".

So I can only prepare in advance, and when Akina comes over, I can hold a Shizuoka Fireworks Festival~

"Minister Yamakawa, if anyone asks, please keep it a secret!"

"Hey, I know!"
