Tokyo Bubble Life

After such an incident, Akina Nakamori naturally went to Ken-On's office early to discuss with the president and others how to deal with it.

However, Naoki Nagayama did not care too much about it. Although he did not rely too much on the media, the more important point was that there were a lot of people going there to play last night!

Even if all major agencies work together, it won’t make much of a splash in the entertainment industry!
So after breakfast, Naoki Nagayama drove directly to the studio and then turned and drove to the new headquarters in Ikebukuro.
"Naoki-san, good morning~" The person on duty today is Suzuki Yukika.

"Hahaha, Hello, Yukika-chan too~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I actually took the wrong road today and ran to the studio~"

"."

What's so good about taking the wrong road? Suzuki Yukika could only smile awkwardly and then asked curiously,
"Is the studio vacant now? Do you want to sublet it in the future?"

"No!" Naoki Nagayama knew Idou Shuichi's plan for the studio, "It will be restored to its original function and upgraded to a good place to take photos."

"I see."

Suzuki Yukika nodded after satisfying her curiosity, and then said to Nagayama Naoki,

"Naoki-san, today's newspaper has been placed on the table in the office. Otomo-san is in his office. Is there anything else I can take care of?"

".Not for now. You continue to be busy~"

"Hi~"

The front desk staff is now so familiar with Naoki Nagayama's daily questions~
Naoki Nagayama took the elevator to his office floor. After changing the headquarters, there was a big change. When he came to the company, he didn't have to walk through the employees, and there were no more greetings and bows.
Why do I still feel a little lost?
I shook my head to get rid of this feeling. I can't let myself be corrupted by the remnants of feudalism! After all, I am a person who has experienced the education of the new era!
This time, I didn’t go to Yoshimura Otomo first, but came to my own office which is in the best location~
The huge office was well-ventilated in the morning under the care of the administration department, and the air was very fresh. On the solid wood desk, the succulents were watered and looked lush. Then there was a stack of today's newspapers and magazines neatly arranged on the desk~
When I opened it, it was exactly the same as the one in Yamazakurayuan, both of which were about the absurd things that happened last night.
Naoki Nagayama ignored this part and started reading the Nihon Keizai Shimbun instead. He would be going to the United States soon and needed to understand the current economic situation in advance.

"Finance Minister Noboru Takeshita and U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker have already talked about it~"

Naoki Nagayama noticed this message. As a press release of a high-level official’s visit, it did not contain any information about the specific conversation, but the statement that “the Minister of Finance and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury had a very pleasant discussion on reform proposals regarding exchange rates and macroeconomic policies” was enough!

The next step should be to go to Paris, Hawaii and other places, and then finally return to the Plaza Hotel in New York, USA. Five countries signed the Plaza Accord!

"Two more months."

Naoki Nagayama knew that Neon’s most glorious bubble era was coming, and the five years were like a roller coaster.
"Anyway, let's go to New York and get things done!" Naoki Nagayama thought about his operation and felt that there was no problem. "During this period, increase my personal wealth to 100 billion!"

"By then, I won't have to worry about money anymore!"

Even if we have 40 billion yen now, this amount is definitely not comparable to those conglomerates in Japan, after all, it is the accumulation of several generations.
However, by the end of this year, Naoki Nagayama should have reached the threshold of a conglomerate family, plus the bubble that will take off next.
“After the bubble is over for five years, there will be no gambling king or shipping king.”

Just as Naoki Nagayama was daydreaming about the future, the office door was pushed open!
"Naoki-san?" Idou Shuichi walked in. "I was wondering why I didn't see you in Otomo-san's office. Are you in a daze? What are you thinking about?"

"."

Naoki Nagayama came back to his senses.

"We are thinking of replacing the Mitsui Group and becoming the No. 1 group in Japan!"

"Hahahaha~" Idou Shuichi was amused by this sentence, "Naoki-san, are you daydreaming? Replacing the Mitsui Group? This is totally impossible!"

Even though Shuichi Idou was a director with a keen eye for fantasy, he had never thought of replacing the Mitsui Group.

After nearly 300 years of domestication, the Mitsui family is a symbol of wealth, which seems to have become the ideological stamp of the Japanese people.
Naoki Nagayama doesn't have this kind of stamp. China was able to catch up with the United States, a superpower, from a poor new country in just half a century. He has no awe of the old powers at all!
"Shuuichi-san, we already have more than 40 billion in liquid funds." Naoki Nagayama did not rush to refute, but slowly analyzed, "According to my expectation, by the end of the year, it should be able to double to 100 billion."

"Then according to my analysis of the Japanese economy, the next few years will probably be a golden period of development that is rare in a century."

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Naoki Nagayama's voice seemed to have a more psychedelic tone.

"With hundreds of billions of assets, if they are managed well, they can be multiplied tenfold. It seems possible."

With assets worth trillions of yen, it can't be said that it is not a conglomerate no matter how you look at it!

Idou Shuichi fell silent after listening to Naoki Nagayama's words. Although he was not so sensitive to wealth, judging from Naoki Nagayama's past performance, such an operation did not seem impossible!!!
"Shuyou, are you going to become a consortium?"

I suddenly woke up from my daydream, and found out that the consortium is actually me?!

Pictures of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Prince Shotoku floated down from the sky, quickly covering Idou Shuichi's figure and going over his head. It made his eyes go dark and he had difficulty breathing.
"I'm going to be drowned by money!!!"

With a slap, Idou Shuichi hit him hard on the face, and he finally came to his senses. Is this guy Naoki-san a devil? He can make people fall into fantasy with just a random word!!!

At this time, Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting behind his desk, looked at Shuichi Idou with surprise and fear.
"Shuuichi-san, what are you doing?!"

I was just chatting normally, but the guy in front of me suddenly slapped me hard in the face. Anyone would be a little nervous!
crazy?
"." Yitang Xiuyi touched his red and swollen face and said slowly after a long time, ".Just now there was a mosquito..."

"Mosquito?"

"Ok!"

Oh, summer is here, it's normal to have mosquitoes~
"."

After staring at each other for a while in silence, Naoki Nagayama finally changed the subject:
"Ahem, by the way, Shuichi-san, aren't you filming Squid Game today?"

"I'm delivering the first three episodes to TBS today, and I came here to ask Naoki-san if he wants to go with me." Idou Shuichi spoke much more clearly, "After all, it's Naoki-san's script."

"I won't go~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, not really interested in this, "I believe in Shuichi-san's ability, there will be no problem with Squid Game!"

".Okay~"

In fact, Shuichi Idou was not too worried. He had a very good relationship with the director of the TBS production department and was not afraid of acceptance at all.

At this moment, the office door opened again.

"What are you doing hiding here?"

Yoshimura Otomo walked in with some confusion, and immediately saw the five red and swollen finger marks on Idou Shuichi's face, and then looked at Nagayama Naoki with some anger,
"Naoki-san, why did you hit Shuichi-san?!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was unable to explain for a moment.
In this age without surveillance, if Shuichi-san lies down now, he can undoubtedly accuse Nagayama Naoki of injuring others and demand huge compensation!
".Otomo-san, if I say I didn't hit him, would you believe me?"

"How is this possible? Did Shuichi-san hit himself for fun?" Yoshimura Otomo walked over to Idou Shuichi and looked at the slap mark, "And he used so much force!!! How is this possible!!"

"."

Seeing this, Naoki Nagayama gave up explaining and looked at the culprit, Shuichi Ido.

"Mosquitoes!" Yitang Xiuyi said, "I was trying to kill mosquitoes!"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo looked at the sincere Naoki Nagayama and the serious Shuichi Idou and felt a little helpless.
He actually didn't believe that Naoki Nagayama would hit someone, he just asked the question subconsciously~
But now I heard Idou Shuichi's answer.
Is this some new play? In such a short time, can't I already integrate with Shuichi-san and Naoki-san? !

After Akina Nakamori arrived at Ken-On in her Porsche, she was immediately welcomed into the president's office.

Ming Yuki Fusano, Ueda Maki, Tanaka Yoshiaki, and Hanami Kaku himself were all in the office. There were newspapers scattered on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Akina-chan, you're here~"

Hanami He looked up at the pillar of his own agency~
"Hi" Akina Nakamori said with an embarrassed smile on her face, and bowed to everyone in the room, "Private Marseille, sorry to bother you all~"

"."

When Hanami Kazu saw Akina Nakamori, it was as if he saw his own rebellious child.
"Ah~~~ You and Naoki-san are really good at having fun."

"Last night was actually an accident," Akina Nakamori explained. "I didn't expect so many people to come."

Hanami He shook his hand:
"Forget it, that's not the point. Anyway, your relationship with Naoki Nagayama is public."

He pointed to an envelope and said, "The point is, did you hit the reporter?"

"." Akina Nakamori looked through the photos and the report text, then shook her head, "I don't really remember much. I just remember that when I came out, there were a lot of reporters in front of me. At that time, Naoki-san pulled me forward, but there shouldn't have been any beatings."

Tanaka Yoshiaki decisively grasped the key words:

"Crowded? That's an accident!"

"Yeah, it was an accident!" Hanami He nodded, "That's what I told the media afterwards! The paparazzi was just pushed down."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, this is what Yan-On said!
As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Hanami He knows that the public is not looking for facts, but only for hot topics! All the agency has to do is suppress such hot topics!

"Akina-chan, we were supposed to continue rehearsing today, right?" Hanami He made the arrangements directly. "Today we will contact a familiar reporter and do a brief interview during the rehearsal break. Then the agency will issue a statement."

Listening to the president's skilled arrangements, Akina Nakamori nodded:
"Arigado~"

"It's nothing. It's the agency's job to protect its artists!" Hanami Kaku said, "Will Naoki-san issue a statement?"

"Ah, Naoki-san said it's okay with him, and if necessary, he will ask Shuyou to cooperate with me in issuing a statement."

Naoki Nagayama didn't care about this. Even if the matter really happened to him, he didn't care. After all, he was a director. It seemed that many directors had conflicts with reporters.

"That's good~"

Hanamikazu nodded. There are actually many benefits to having a reliable partner!

This kind of news can actually increase Akina Nakamori's exposure. After briefly chatting about the beginning and the end, Hanami Kaku asked others to go back to work and put the matter behind him.

Then I asked Akina Nakamori another question:

"Akina-chan is going to America in two days, right?"

"Hey, since there are no direct flights from Philadelphia, you need to make a connecting flight about three days in advance."

"Three days. So we have to leave on July 7th~" Hanami Kaku said, "Then this week, we should do a good job promoting the song 'SAND BEIGE -沙漠へ-'"

“If only I could promote my songs in America.”

".If it's the 11th, it should have just arrived in Philadelphia."

"Can satellite relay be used at night?" Philadelphia is in the West 14th Borough, 7 hours ahead of Tokyo, so when "The Best Ten" was broadcast live, it should have been a.m. in Philadelphia.

Akina Nakamori said: "It depends on whether the hotel over there still has the equipment."

"." Hanami He paced twice, "Forget it, I'll go negotiate and let "The Best Ten" arrange someone!"

"Eh? Going to America?"

"The exposure of Akina-chan is also very important for "The Best Ten"!" Hanami Kaku said, "Now the funding for each program is very sufficient, so it's not a big deal to spend some money to go to the United States!"

"Don't worry about it, Akina-chan. I'll take care of it later!"

Anyway, there is no visa issue between Japan and the United States. It doesn't cost much to go there by plane in economy class.
"Okay~"

Akina Nakamori walked out of the office somewhat unexpectedly.
Even though he had done something out of line, instead of being reprimanded, he actively addressed the media issue.

Moreover, he did not blame himself for missing the promotion work due to personal reasons (going to the concert with Naoki-san), but contacted the TV station's program team to coordinate the live broadcast.
Only now did she finally feel like she had turned the tables and became the master. The entire firm was serving her, not her making money for the firm!
“Is this the benefit of being a shareholder?”

With this in mind, Akina Nakamori happily prepared to rehearse.
