Tokyo Bubble Life

"Hey, that's it."

Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone. This was the second time he received a long-distance call today.
The impact of the Plaza Accord is getting bigger and bigger. With the joint efforts of the US and Japanese governments, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is falling faster and faster. Even investment managers in the United States are getting nervous and wish that the US foreign exchange market would be open every day so that they can trade at any time.

Nakai Yuan used to call Tai once a day, but now he receives two calls a day.
“So, I’ve already earned 5%~”

Naoki Nagayama was impressed that his wealth had increased so much in just over a week. This was not just 100 yuan becoming 105 yuan, but 2 million US dollars becoming 1000 million US dollars!

Ten million US dollars in the 80s was an amount of money that many company presidents could not earn in their entire lives!

“Keep working hard!”

Naoki Nagayama encouraged himself, Nakai Enta and Aldridge who were abroad, saying that his wealth growth had already entered the fast lane and he would soon be on a plane and fly to the moon in the future!
He arrived at the office of Shuyou Capital very early in the morning, but after answering the phone and arranging the follow-up investment, Naoki Nagayama wanted to go back to the Shuyou building.
Perhaps because of the atmosphere, the preparations for the Tokyo International Film Festival become more and more intense as the opening date approaches.

Yoshimura Otomo asked Naoki Nagayama to stay in the headquarters building every day, even if he did nothing, he had to show up in front of the employees, saying that it was to calm people's hearts.
Kanai Juuka at the front desk was very surprised when she saw Naoki Nagayama:
"Naoki-san, are you leaving?"

"Hey, there's something else~" Naoki Nagayama replied, "Does Tsukika-chan have anything to say?"

"Oh, yes!" Jin Jing Zhu Xiang quickly handed over a file bag, "This is the real estate analysis report that Ms. Fujita sent over this month. It was previously reviewed by Yuan Tai-san."

"Oh, then give it to me~ I'll look at it at Shuyou today~"

Since I sent Nakai Yuanta to the United States, I naturally had to take on some of his responsibilities, including listening to the daily reports of Shuyou Capital's investment managers in the morning, reviewing large transaction applications, etc.

Keiko Fujita is currently a land investment consultant hired by Shuyou Investment. She submits a real estate analysis report mainly in the Tokyo area every month, which is used as a reference for Shuyou Investment to purchase real estate.
Part of the capital budget of Shuyou Investment is specifically used to purchase real estate, and a special shell company has been established. Naoki Nagayama can't remember how many properties he has purchased in Tokyo so far, but there are at least dozens of pieces of land, as well as residential apartments, shops and so on.

Before he knew it, he had become one of the most powerful landlords in Tokyo!

“Hi, have a nice trip.”

After arriving at the underground garage, Naoki Nagayama placed the documents on the passenger seat and drove his car to Ikebukuro.

It's not rush hour anymore, the roads are smooth, the refreshing autumn breeze is blowing all the way, and Ikebukuro is right in front of us~
"Naoki-san, you're here~"

Another front desk girl, Xing Jiahua, greeted her president warmly with a smile on her face when she saw her president.

"Yeah, I just came from Ginza." Naoki Nagayama asked, "Are Otomo-san and Shuichi-san here?"

"Otomo-san is here, but Shuichi-san seems to have gone to Ota Ward today!"

“Go to Ota-ku.”

Naoki Nagayama was a little confused. Wasn't Kijima-kun filming over there? What was Shuichi-san doing there?
"Hey, I understand~"

After arriving at his office, he made himself a cup of hot tea, opened the file bag of the real estate analysis report and began to read it carefully.

In addition to the specific information of the real estate, the analysis report also lists the large-scale projects planned near each real estate.
Tokyo is in a period of great construction, with many planned and constructed projects coming online non-stop. From the perspective of the real estate market, these are all positive factors.
Although all the houses will be sold in five years, these plans may not have started construction by then. But at this time it is still a positive factor that can definitely increase the expected housing prices.

"By the way, have you bought Akina's office building?"

Looking at this analysis report, Naoki Nagayama thought of his girlfriend's previous housing needs. He had already introduced Keiko Fujita to Akina, and it seemed that Keiko Fujita had also provided alternative properties.

I just don't know if Mingcai has been decided.
Yes, as for Akina, maybe we need to make an appointment with Aunt Chieko to go there to see it before making a decision. After all, it is someone in our family who will open a store there in the future.

"By the way, the big brothers in Shizuoka have made a lot of money from Midnight Diner recently. Should we also persuade them to buy a few houses in Tokyo?"

Various thoughts came and went in his mind, but Naoki Nagayama still carefully reviewed the analysis report, selected the properties he thought were suitable, and asked the real estate investment department of Shuyou Investment to sign the contract and purchase them as soon as possible.
"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the office door, and then Yoshimura Otomo walked in. He looked at Nagayama Naoki, who was concentrating on reading documents, with some surprise.
"It's really strange that Naoki-san is actually reading the documents seriously."

"." Naoki Nagayama didn't want to pay attention to this guy.

Yoshimura Otomo was not embarrassed at all, and ran to the desk, still saying:

"Let me see what good stuff Naoki-san is looking at?!"

"It's a real estate analysis report!" Naoki Naoki said, "The real estate that Shuyou will invest in will be purchased for investment in the future."

"Investing in real estate. It's Naoki-san's company after all~" Yoshimura Otomo sighed after taking a few glances. Naoki Nagayama's habit of persuading people to buy houses has become well-known among his acquaintances.

"By the way, didn't all the investment funds of Shuyou go to the United States? Is there any money left to buy real estate?"

"There is still some budget left!" Naoki Nagayama replied, "We can't put all our investments in one basket!"

“How are housing prices in Tokyo now?”

"Of course it's growing rapidly!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I bought Samadhi House for 5 million yen, and now it's at least 7 million!"

"Oh?" Yoshimura Otomo asked in amazement, "Is the land price really increasing so fast? It has increased by 50%!"

"Beyond your imagination! And the growth trend is very obvious!" Naoki Nagayama said seriously, "If this continues, Otomo-san, the land price in Tokyo in the future may be enough to buy the entire United States!"

“.Hahaha~”

Yoshimura Otomo smiled and shook his head, unable to believe it. "Naoki-san, that's impossible! Although we are now the largest creditor of the United States, it's not that exaggerated."

"Buy the entire United States? Or just the price of land in Tokyo? Absolutely impossible!!!"

"Ha, let's wait and see! But Otomo-san, I advise you to buy some in the next few years! It can be used for investment or value preservation. In this case, if you keep the cash in your hands, it will depreciate!"

“Hahaha, but didn’t my money go to America along with Naoki-san’s?!” Yoshimura Otomo laughed, “Now I’m a pauper!”

"Who would believe that!" Naoki Nagayama didn't believe that Yoshimura Otomo wouldn't keep some. "Besides, by the end of the year, the first batch of funds can be recovered! Otomo-san can buy it now!"

In the next few years, the US-Japan exchange rate will decline steadily amid fluctuations, not as fiercely as in the first three months, so subsequent investments will be relatively long-term operations. Take some funds back to Japan, and use the rest to purchase high-quality assets in the United States.

"Let's talk about it~"

Fangcun Dayou hesitated for a moment. He still felt that real estate was not as good as the stock market. If you have cash, you might as well invest in the stock market. Anyway, it is basically a bull market now.

"Otomo-san, you're going to regret this!"

"Naoki-san, I am the one who makes the decision. It's my own money, so I make the decision myself!"

".Hehe, where is your money now?!"

"."

The two of them argued for a while, and then stopped. Naoki Naoyama finally had time to ask:

"Otomo-san, what do you want from me?"

"Ah!" Yoshimura Otomo finally realized, "You're here to call Naoki-san to have lunch!"

"Eh? It's already this late?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the clock subconsciously. It's only past 11 o'clock.
"It's to a dinner party!"

Yoshimura Otomo said,

"Some people from the film festival organizing committee invited us to dinner."

"Uh this"

Naoki Nagayama actually didn't want to attend this kind of dinner. Although everyone spoke very nicely and the food and wine were all high-end, it always revealed a sense of hypocrisy.
"Naoki-san can't escape this time!" said Yoshimura Otomo. "It's the last dinner before the opening. Naoki-san should at least show his closeness to us."

".Okay~"

In the office of Warner Pioneer, the new album planning meeting was held again.

As for the direction of Akina Nakamori's transformation song, they have discussed this topic many times.
Now, Terabayashi Akira, who was sitting on a stool, looked at the music sheet carefully for a while and simulated the feeling of singing it in his head. Then he looked up, his face full of confusion:

"Akina-chan, this was written in advance, right?"

"No~" Akina Nakamori said with a proud look on her face, "Naoki-san wrote this song 'Roppongi Junjo Pie' in just two minutes after listening to 'Roppongi Heart'!"

"."

The way Terabayashi Akira looks at his own artist is as if he is looking at a kid telling a lie in kindergarten. This song has so many words that it would take more than two minutes if written down!
Forget it, just think of Akina as exaggerating. Girls always want to say nice things to their lovers, and Terabayashi Akira didn't want to refute it.

After thinking about this song for a while, Terabayashi Akira gave a fair evaluation, "This song is very good! The rhythm is brisk, with the smoothness of dance music and the feeling of jazz."

"Isn't it~" Akina Nakamori became even more proud, as if she had written it.

"So," Terabayashi Akira passed the music score to the others who were eagerly waiting, and said to Nakamori Akina, "Akina-chan, do you think that the title song of the next album should be this song, 'Roppongi Junjo Pie'?"

"Hi!" Akina Nakamori nodded. "The feeling of this song fits the atmosphere of Roppongi's nightlife. For the next album, I want to try the style of singing in front of a dance hall."

Speaking of the album style, Akina Nakamori suddenly opened her mind and talked about her expectations for the next album, even considering the cover.
"After getting off the car, we went straight to the dance hall or disco."

"How about we find some of Roppongi's most famous dance halls to shoot the cover?"

Terabayashi Akira nodded. Now, for the production of the new album, Akina Nakamori's opinion is very important, even decisive. Akina's fashion vision and unconventional ideas make the producers' eyes light up.

After collecting the music scores that had been circulated, Terabayashi Akira said:

"Akina-chan, maybe you should try something innovative for your next album."

"Now, American pop stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna are trying to combine videos with songs to make music videos. We will also try to make a video version for our next album."

"MV," Akina Nakamori asked in surprise, "Is it the kind in KTV?"

By the way, the video tapes that combine videos and songs in KTVs now were actually made by Shuyou before. They have large landscapes and beauties with lyrics and subtitles. Then they were sold to other KTVs that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, making a lot of money.
"It should be more refined than the ones in the current KTVs." Terabayashi Akira said, "As a singer, Akina might shoot a short video and sing in it."

Terabayashi Akira introduced MTV (Music Television), a very popular TV station in the United States, which is dedicated to broadcasting music videos. Many American rock singers and bands have started to broadcast MVs on this TV station, and the audience loves it very much.
He believes that this TV station will definitely become popular in Japan in the future, and Akina Nakamori can start trying it now.

“We can also reshoot music videos for our old records so that KTVs can use them directly,” said Akira Terabayashi. “I believe that as the number of records increases, the rental fee alone will be a huge expense.”

"Teralin-san is indeed a man with foresight!"

Akina Nakamori was convinced, and the other planners also agreed with Akira Terabashi's opinion, and the matter was settled.

The discussion of the new album is still going on, but the next step is to compile other songs in the style of "Roppongi Junjo Pie". We will also invite other musicians to create songs.
Who told Naoki Nagayama not to accept orders! Otherwise, the whole album could use his songs.
"By the way." After the meeting was over, Terabayashi Akira asked Akina who was about to leave, "Akina-chan, you are going to attend the Tokyo International Film Festival in two days, right?"

"Hi!" Akina Nakamori smiled shyly, "Because I filmed Love Letter, which is also on display at this film festival."

The theme of this Tokyo International Film Festival is youth and innovation. The narrative of "Love Letter" is full of creativity, and it is also a very outstanding film in recent years, so it is naturally included in the exhibition.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that both the director and the lead actor are Naoki Nagayama!!!
"Haha~" Terabayashi Akira laughed, "Then Akina should dress more beautifully! I guess all the big media from all over the world will be here then."

"!!!"

Yes, media from all over the world will be there! I originally planned to only wear a dress!

As if she had been enlightened, Akina Nakamori hurried out of the door and caught up with her assistant Maki Ueda and said anxiously:

"Maki-chan!!! Go!"

"?" Ueda Maki was puzzled, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the clothing store in Shinjuku Shopping Street!" Akina Nakamori walked quickly towards the elevator, "I must buy the most beautiful clothes today!"

"Eh?!!"

"."

Later, in the brand stores in the core shopping street of Shinjuku, there was a rumor that a famous star had bought all the clothes in the store with a wave of his hand.
