Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1092 Chapter 1011, Don’t be the needle that pops the bubble!!

The city of Tokyo is always full of colorful advertisements. Newsstands, bus stops, subway stations, billboards, and any place where posters or advertisements can be posted will definitely have advertising companies occupying the space.

In fact, most people don’t pay much attention to these ads. At most, they just glance at them casually while walking on the street.
If there are one or two key factors that can arouse their interest and make them stay a little longer, it is already a sign of extraordinary creativity on the part of the advertising company.

Not to mention paying attention to changes in the content of the advertisement~
However, if all the ads were changed at once, it would attract everyone's attention!

"Is this a movie poster?"

Office workers waiting for the train looked at the advertisement at the subway station with surprise in their tone.

"No"

He looked to the side and found a series of posters with the same style but different contents on the walls of the subway.

Different movie posters, but they all have the same title - Tokyo International Film Festival!

“It turned out to be a poster for a film festival!”

This time the advertising planning company was very bold. They made posters of all the films registered for the Tokyo Film Festival in a unified style, replaced them with the logo of the Tokyo International Film Festival, and then promoted them throughout the city!

“Hayato, The Burning House, The Cat’s Tale, The Barbarian, The Tale of Naoki Uemura, Tiger of Ginza.”

Passersby see the movies on the posters, silently recall their memories of going to the cinema this year, and then are surprised to find that there are so many movies they have not seen!
I suddenly had the urge to watch the show~
This year's Tokyo International Film Festival opens on October 10, which is about half a month away.

But before that, the organizing committee of the Tokyo International Film Festival had coordinated with major theaters in Tokyo to start rotating movies released in the past year, which not only built momentum for the film festival but also brought a wave of traffic to the theaters.

The list of shortlisted films for the film festival has come out, and as expected, Shuyou's "Hayato" and "Tigers of Ginza" are both on the list, and the news that "Tigers of Ginza" will be the opening film of the film festival has also been confirmed.

The chairman of the jury, Omasa Oshima, and a group of judges watched the films in a closed resort hotel to decide the winners of this year's awards.

Meanwhile, the film festival venue has been fixed, and the film festival park in Yoyogi Park has begun to be built.
Today, Naoki Nagayama came with Shuichi Ido and Otomo Yoshimura to inspect the progress of the project. They were accompanied by Toei's Toshitaka Yamamura and Toho's Minister Nakano Tomomi, who are all members of this executive committee and the main people doing the work.

Yoshimura Otomo also holds the title of vice chairman and executive president, and is considered the overall person in charge of the project. As for the official chairman of the executive committee, Kiba Sadanaga, it is estimated that he will not show up until the opening ceremony.

Naoki Nagayama is only a special advisor in title, but everyone knows that his opinion is very important.

"Naoki-san, the construction of this venue is a piece of cake for you."

Fangcun Dayou pointed to the team that was being built and said,
“They are all from the previous team and are very experienced.”

"Uh-huh."

Naoki Nagayama nodded and said nothing. The supporting companies for such large-scale events usually have a relationship with one of the parties on the executive committee. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.

However, the venue this time is indeed larger than the first one, and the scene is more luxurious.

"Naoki-san, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved about the venue?"

Toho's Nakano Chizu saw that Naoki Nagayama seemed to frown after taking a look around, so he asked quickly.

"There's nothing that needs to be improved," Naoki Nagayama touched his chin, his mind wandering, "I was thinking, such a good venue will be demolished after the film festival. The last venue was also built and then demolished. Isn't this a waste?"

"???"

Nakano Chizu and Yamamura Toshitaka looked at each other, wondering why Naoki Nagayama suddenly sighed.

Idou Shuichi, who was more familiar with Naoki Nagayama, seemed to understand what he meant:
"Naoki-san, are you saying that the Tokyo International Film Festival could consider building a permanent venue?"

"Yeah," Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I think from the current point of view, the Tokyo International Film Festival will be held for many sessions. It would be great if it could be built into a fixed venue, or a cultural complex."

"No, it's a little bigger than the complex. It can be considered a small village, right? Tokyo International Film Festival Cultural Village!"

Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of the cultural villages and cultural towns that will be common in the future. As long as there is a big enough name, all kinds of green towns, canal cultural villages, etc. can be built, and then the tourism economy can be boosted, and land prices can be increased.
If it is an international event, like the Asian Games, even the entire city can initiate large-scale infrastructure.

"Our film festival is also an international event. With this reputation, we can definitely apply to the government for a piece of land to build a permanent Tokyo International Film Festival Cultural Village to attract domestic and foreign film lovers to come and visit."

Naoki Nagayama became more and more excited as he spoke, and said to the people around him,

"For the film festival, having a fixed location makes it convenient for all activities. For the government, it can boost the tourism economy. If the policy is more flexible and some shopping malls, stations and other supporting facilities are planned and built, the surrounding land prices can definitely be raised. This win-win situation is something that everyone will like."

Nakano Chizu and Yamamura Toshitaka were speechless and were a little overwhelmed by Naoki Nagayama's sudden idea.

They were only here to inspect the progress of the project, why did they suddenly apply for land to build a cultural village?
However, Naoki Nagayama hadn't finished speaking yet. He turned around and smiled at Nakano Chizui and Yamamura Toshitaka and said:

"Minister Nakano, Minister Yamamura, if our Tokyo International Film Festival committee applies for land, we can buy up nearby properties before others know about it. Once the project is completed, the land price will definitely double! Hahaha~"

"!!!"

Nakano Chizui and Yamamura Toshitaka's eyes lit up. Although they were not short of money as the directors of Toei and Toho, who wouldn't want to earn more? !
In fact, this is how you make money by relying on information asymmetry!
Why can't the staff of the Planning Bureau be poor? In fact, this is how they become rich. They are the first to know where large-scale projects are to be built, even several years in advance of the public.
After returning from the scene, Naoki Nagayama sat on the soft sofa in his office to take a rest.

The idea of ​​approving a piece of land and building a cultural village quickly passed through his mind. He knew that building a cultural village would make money, and that investing in surrounding properties in advance would pay off, but he had never thought about doing it himself.

Because the payback period is very long and the various things involved are very complicated.

Simply applying for land requires dealing with many government departments, and coordinating various relationships can be said to be hard-earned money.

With this time and energy, couldn't he use it on the stock market or make a movie?

Both of these are more profitable than building a cultural village, and they can be made quickly, not to mention that he and a group of people including Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi have already bought a lot of real estate.

He has been buying properties since he started making money. Although Shuyou Real Estate, which is under Shuyou Capital, is not very famous, the land it owns is spread across major cities in Japan, and it is impossible to count how many houses he has bought.

It is difficult for people who are used to making quick money to continue to make hard-earned money.
"It is now Showa 61, and 1986 is more than halfway through."

With his hands in front of his eyes, Naoki Nagayama quietly thought about his future plans.
"The bubble should officially reach its peak next year, reaching its highest point in 89. It will burst after 90."

"The funds for the stock market are more convenient, so it's still in time to start selling in the middle of 89, but for real estate, you need to start selling from around 88."

"But considering the butterfly effect, maybe it should be earlier."

With Naoki Nagayama's current wealth, he is already considered a small chaebol in Japan. Especially since Shuyou Capital is already quite famous in the stock market, its every move will attract the market's attention.

Large stock market transactions need to be notified in advance, and stock market traders will exchange information with each other.

Once people know that Shuyou Capital has started to sell off its holdings on a large scale, they will immediately know that the market is about to undergo a drastic change, and will begin to invest cautiously without knowing the reason. The chain reaction will cause panic!
It’s like if the stock god Buffett suddenly sold off a large number of shares, the entire US stock market would be shaken.

By that time, the entire stock market might collapse like a domino effect.
The entry of a large number of existing properties into the market in a short period of time will also make the real estate market alert and may even attract the attention of regulators.

By the late stage of the bubble in 89, the real economy could no longer support the price of assets, and the entire market was actually following blindly. At this time, an opportunity would burst the false prosperity of the bubble.

“Maybe at that time Shuyou Capital will become the needle that bursts the bubble! It will be remembered by the whole of Neon.”

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. He didn't want to become a taboo in the entire Neon world after the bubble and be cursed by millions of people.

It would be bad if an assassin who was jealous of Shuyou's escape appeared and gave him an Abe cut.

“So in 88, we started to reduce investment, slowly sell off and transfer assets to the U.S., which was followed by a decades-long bull market in the U.S. stock market.”

"As for real estate, only keep assets in the core areas of major cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto. Sell off properties in other cities starting next year."

"Two years in advance, even if there is a butterfly effect, it can't be that much in advance."

Just as Naoki Nagayama was thinking, there was a knock on the office door and Shuichi Ido walked in.

"What are you thinking about, Naoki-san? You look so sad?"

“I’m thinking about how to make money.”

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. He did not share his worries with his friends. Anyway, they were already used to following Naoki Nagayama's investment and they just had to follow him in the future.

"Ha, Naoki-san, are you still worried about not making money?"

Idou Shuichi laughed. A guy who became a millionaire in just 6 years was already a legend among the young people in Japan.
"You should listen to what young people say about you."

"Oh? What rumors did Shuichi-san hear?"

"Haha, the latest 'Tiger of the Entertainment World' is one! It comes from 'Tiger of Ginza'"

Idou Shuichi sat down on the sofa and said to Naoki Nagayama next to him,
“What else is there? ‘Legendary director’, ‘most successful post-60s’, ‘person I most want to be’.”

“The most successful person born in the 60s.”

I don't know how Naoki Nagayama feels, but he was born in 1962, so he feels both old and young.
Shuichi Idou said what he heard when chatting with young employees. Recently, he has been in charge of the animation business and has indeed been exposed to more young culture, and his overall mentality has become a lot younger.

"Ah, right!"

After talking for a while, Ito Shuuichi took a sip of water and patted his head.
"I came to see you for something serious."

"What's the matter?" Naoki Nagayama asked puzzledly.

"Next week is my Jiayi's birthday. Here is the invitation to the birthday party." Idou Shuichi handed out an invitation very seriously, "Please be sure to come."

".Do you need invitations for a birthday party?"

Naoki Nagayama opened it and saw that it was written in Ito Kaori's slightly childish handwriting, obviously handwritten.

"Haha, after watching Naoki-san's full moon banquet last time, my Jiayi-chan also wants to make it more formal."

Ito Shuichi scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

I didn’t feel anything before, as celebrating birthdays was just about buying a cake and receiving gifts. But this time, when I saw Naoki Nagayama celebrating his daughter’s full moon party so grandly, I suddenly thought that I should also pay more attention to my own daughter’s birthday party.

This is the obsession of a father who is a daughter slave~
"I see~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and smiled, "Kayi-chan seems to be promoted to the second grade of junior high school, right?"

"Yeah, there's still one semester left, and next year I'll be in the second year of junior high school."

Idou Shuichi sighed,

"You've grown up in the blink of an eye~"

"It's already the second year of junior high school~" Naoki Nagayama also said with emotion, "Shuuichi-san, what happened to that yellow-haired guy before?!"

"???!!!"

Speaking of this, Idou Shuichi gets really angry.

"That guy is so playful all the time. It makes me angry just looking at him! He even wanted to ask Jiayi to go to summer camp with him during the summer vacation this year?! I knew that guy had bad intentions!"

"If he continues to bother Jiayi-chan when school starts, I'll break his legs."

"."

Seeing that Idou Shuichi had fallen into rampage mode, Nagayama Naoki quickly poured him some tea to calm him down.

"Xiu Yi-san, take a deep breath. Don't be angry, don't be angry."

"Jiayi-chan has entered puberty, so it's inevitable that she's curious about boys. After all, you're going to fall in love and get married in the future~"

Idou Shuichi immediately put down the teacup in his hand and opened his eyes wide:
"My Jiayi-chan will never get married!"

".Xiuyi-san, you are being a little extreme~"

Naoki Nagayama wanted to persuade him.
"Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life?!"

"Then what will happen when your Natsuka grows up and wants to fall in love and get married?!" Idou Shuichi asked directly, "Can you agree to her falling in love in junior high school?!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was silent for a few seconds, then he slowly spoke,

"I heard that in a certain big country in the East, dating in middle school and high school is considered puppy love and is absolutely not allowed!"

"Oh?!" Yitang Xiuyi's eyes lit up, "Then how can I transfer to another school?"

“There is an international student program that allows students to study for three years.”

"!!!"

In the following time, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido discussed how to get their daughter transferred to a large Eastern country to study. If being a Japanese simply wasn't enough, they also discussed ideas like building a factory or setting up an office in Hong Kong or Shanghai.

Anyway, now that Shuyou is so big and its business is so extensive, it is not impossible to open an international business line.
