Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1008, Chapter 1017, the words “not short of money” are written all over his face!

The snow fell for a whole day and night, as if it wanted to spread all the cold air accumulated throughout the winter to the world.

When we woke up the next day, the entire Yamazakura Garden was covered with a thick layer of white snow.

After getting up, Naoki Nagayama stood on the eaves with joy, looking at the white snow scene in the yard. He couldn't help but feel poetic and even wanted to blurt out a haiku or two.

But in a flash, a white shadow flashed by, and the originally flawless snow surface in the yard was printed with two messy plum blossom prints, three, four.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Yingtaro was frolicking in the yard, shaking his head and biting the snow from time to time. Even his red nose could not stop him from playing. He looked so excited, just like a child who liked to play snowball fights.

He would bark at his owner from time to time, as if inviting him to come down and play together.

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the messy yard and the dog with snow on its body with a look of disdain.

"Yingtaro, you are not allowed to enter the house until you wipe yourself clean!"

"Woof woof woof?!"

At this time, Akina, who had just gotten up, came out and saw her husband bullying the dog. She couldn't help laughing and said:

"Naoki-san, you can't bully Inari Taro! (That's my right!) You have to teach your children well and take good care of them!"

"Tsk~~~" Naoki Nagayama took back his hand that was against the dog's head, "Then Akina, come and help Yingtaro dry his body!"

".Well."

Mingcai glanced at the wet dog on her feet and immediately changed her tone.

"Naoki-san, I've thought about it. After all, you're the one who got Inari first, so you should be responsible for it! Oh, I'm a little tired and my stomach feels heavy."

After saying that, she changed from being full of energy just now to being an overwhelmed pregnant woman, touching her belly and walking towards the dining table.

"."

This is clearly using the belly to control Naoki!

Naoki Nagayama looked at the dog wagging its tail with a confused look on its face and couldn't help but shook his head:

"Yingtaro, you lost from the very beginning in this battle for succession!"

The aroma coming from the kitchen made Naoki Nagayama feel his stomach growling.

Mrs. Mari Nonaka is indeed a high-paid talent. Her cooking skills are truly amazing. In order to cater to Naoki Nagayama's taste, she even learned how to make Chinese breakfast, which made Naoki Nagayama want to give her a raise.

While eating breakfast, Naoki Nagayama was looking at the newspaper, and sure enough, there were a lot of news about Akina.

"Akina, everyone is asking when you'll make a comeback~"

"Hahaha~" Akina took a look and smiled, "Everyone hasn't forgotten me yet. But that won't happen this year."

"Not half a year later?"

Mingcai rolled her eyes: "I still have to take care of the baby. Even if I want to make a comeback, I still have to lose weight."

Naoki Nagayama looked him up and down:

"Stupid tape, Akina hasn't gained much weight!"

"." I really don't know whether I should be happy or not.

"What is Naoki-san going out to do today?" Akina changed the subject and asked about Naoki Nagayama's plans.

"Today, I have to meet the seller of the woodland in the morning, but I have to go to a show by someone in the afternoon."

The news that Naoki Nagayama is going to shoot "Tokyo Love Story" has spread in the circle, and casting and other matters are also proceeding slowly, but the heroine Suzuki Honami has not been found yet~

On the other hand, the theme song "Sudden Love" has found a suitable singer. At this time, Oda Kazumasa had already formed the "OFF COURSE" band and served as the lead singer, and was already quite famous.

"A band called OFF COURSE is holding a concert this afternoon. I want to go and listen to their performance in person and then talk to them."

When Akina heard Naoki Nagayama say that he was going to a concert, her eyes suddenly lit up.

During this period of time, I have been staying at home every day to take care of the baby. Although I can design clothes as a pastime, I am still at home after all, and I feel a little suffocated!

"Naoki-san," Akina leaned closer to her husband, "I want to hear it too."

However, this pitiful look can no longer move Naoki Naoyama's heart. Akina usually likes to play this kind of routine, so he almost ignores it~

"But it's very cold today. Is it okay to go out? Akina is pregnant. If she catches a cold."

"It's totally fine!" Akina immediately shook her head, "I'll dress well! I promise I won't catch a cold!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was a little worried, but he couldn't resist Akina's constant coquetry.

"Then put on a down jacket, a windbreaker won't do! And you can't just wear warm stockings on your legs!"

“It looks like a bucket, doesn’t it?”

As a fashionista and celebrity, Akina always dresses up nicely when she goes out.

“What if my image is photographed?”

"You have to wear this if you want to go out!" Naoyama Naoki refused to give in to this, "Otherwise. Hehehe."

"."

Now, it's Akina's turn to be tangled~

In the morning, Naoki Nagayama did not go to Shuyou. Anyway, there was nothing there that required him to be there.

The filming of "Tokyo Love Story" only began after Suzuki Honami was found. Before that, the team helped to handle all the preparatory work.

Oh, there is also a script for "Tiger of Ginza", and he will also need to review it after the first draft is completed~

He came to Ginza today, and did not go to the Shuyou Capital building. Instead, he came to Samadhi Residence, which he had not been to for a long time.

"Naoki-san!"

Sakakibara Chinatsu, who had received the call long ago and was waiting in advance, bowed when she saw Naoki Nagayama.

"I haven't seen you for a long time~"

"Chixia-san, there's no need to be so formal." Naoyama Naoki responded with a smile, "I'm really busy this year, and I haven't come for tea for a long time~"

This Sanmaike in Ginza was originally used for leisure, but now it has almost become a place to meet other people.

It's a bit like a private club, but it's also open to the public.

The store manager Katsuo Yasui was greeting customers at the counter, and when he saw Naoki Nagayama he could only bow slightly.

"Naoki-san, I have prepared Gyokuro tea, and the tea room you usually use is also ready." Sakakibara Chinatsu took Nagayama Naoki upstairs.

Along the way, Naoki Nagayama looked at the decoration and furnishings of Sanmai House. After several years, they seemed to be soaked in the fragrance of tea and had a more age-related feel.

This teahouse has lost the freshness it had when it was first established. It has become quiet, restrained, and calm.

Nowadays, middle-aged people in Ginza like to come here when they are doing business or chatting. On the one hand, it is convenient, and on the other hand, it is because the environment and service here are very good.

"Chixia-san, are you able to handle this?"

Naoki Nagayama saw that there were many guests on the first and second floors, and the waitress Aki Matsumura was walking hurriedly past to serve tea and water to the guests, so he asked Chinatsu Sakakibara.

"It's a bit busy in the winter." Sakakibara Chinatsu said, "Recently, the store manager and I have been discussing hiring another employee."

"Yes, it should be." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Samadhi House should still focus on service."

After a pause, he said:

"If you don't make enough money, you can raise the price!"

".this."

Although Naoki Nagayama said at the beginning that Sanmaiju was not aiming for profit, the manager and deputy manager were both quite honest people. While providing good service, they still wanted to make more money for Naoki Nagayama.

“If we raise the price, we will lose a lot of customers.”

"It's okay!" Naoki Nagayama comforted him, "Inflation will be very serious in the next few years, and everything will increase in price, including us. Besides, it doesn't matter if there are fewer customers. We have to maintain a high profile."

"."

Although Chinatsu Sakakibara didn't quite understand, she already knew that Naoki Nagayama wanted the price of Sanmaikeu to be high and maintain the style of Ginza.

It's like "You can't afford the tea here"~

The top-floor tea room, which is reserved forever for Naoki Nagayama, is clean and bright, full of antique charm. The heating is just right, making people feel very comfortable as soon as they enter.

"Naoki-san, I'll go get some refreshments."

"Yes," Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Minister Nakai Yuan will be here soon, just take her to the private room~"

"Hi!"

After resting for a while in the tea room and drinking a few sips of tea, Nakai Yuanta came over as expected, accompanied by a simple middle-aged man who was curiously observing Samadhi House.

"Naoki-san, this is the president of the Shizuoka Regional Association of Forest Associations, Yuya Yamaoka."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yuya Yamaoka~"

Naoki Nagayama also stood up and bowed.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Naoki Nagayama"

After they both sat down and poured hot tea, Yamaoka Yuya sighed:

"Originally, Minister Nakai said that the person who wanted to buy the forest rights was Nagayama Naoki. I thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be a famous person!"

Yamaoka Yuya looked very surprised, as if he just heard the news for the first time.

"Hahaha, it's really me." Naoki Naoyama laughed, "There are a lot of people named Naoki Naoyama."

"Naoki is a commonly used name," said Yamaoka Yuya, "but now when we talk about Naoki of the Nagayama family, we must be referring to Naoki-san."

“Yamaoka is also a rare surname.”

The two exchanged pleasantries, but since they weren't very familiar with each other, there wasn't much to say.

Yamaoka Yuya asked directly:

"Naoki-san, why do you want to buy forest rights?"

“I’m just interested in long-term assets,” Naoki Nagayama said. “Preserve and increase value.”

"But the price of lumber is falling right now!" Yamaoka Yuya continued to ask, and then seemed to feel that he was a little rude, "Private Marseille, I don't mean to question Naoki-san."

"As the person in charge of the forest union, I have some concerns about the future development of the forest. After all, we are a union of a group of small forest owners. Only by relying on joint management and large-scale production can we have a certain profit."

He was worried that after Naoki Nagayama bought the forest rights, he would change to planting other things, or simply for the sake of landscape, which would put the original forest owners in a passive position.

"Mr. Yamaoka, please rest assured. After purchasing the forest rights, I will also join the forest association, and the previous management methods will not change."

Naoki Nagayama dispelled his concerns.

"I just want to allocate assets. I also bought a tea garden in Shizuoka before, which is dedicated to this Sanmaiju!"

"Is that so? That's good~"

Yamaoka Yuya breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Naoki-san, how much space do you want to buy?"

"Yamaoka-san, if the forest owners in your association want to sell, I'll take whatever they have!"

When they were in contact with Nakai Yuta before, they had estimated that the forest land under the Shizuoka Forest Association was actually not very large, and there would not be any problem even if they bought it all.

The money spent is less than one-tenth of the funds on hand.

"."

Yamaoka Yuya looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise, and only saw the three words "not short of money" on that handsome face!

Sure enough, the entertainment industry is the most profitable place!

"Naoki-san, if that's the case, I'll go back and talk to the forest masters."

Yamaoka Yuya was actually relieved because the timber market is not doing well now and many forest owners are struggling to make ends meet.

"Thank you very much. You can discuss all future issues directly with Yuan Tai-sang!"

Naoki Nagayama pointed at Nakai Yuta next to him and said,

"He can represent me with full authority. As for the price, we can negotiate, but I need to complete the transaction procedures as soon as possible. I mean all the procedures. I don't want anyone to cause trouble after I buy the forest rights."

Some of the forest owners in Neon have inherited their property from generation to generation. If the owner wants to sell it, there may be opposition from some members of the clan.

"Hey, of course I understand! I will communicate with Minister Nakai!"

Yamaoka Yuya hastened to assure.

Nakai Yuantai also raised the teacup in his hand to gesture.

After the general direction was determined, the next thing to talk about was the situation of the Shizuoka forest, the specialty wood, the hotels in the mountains, and even the rent that the power company had to pay when laying power lines.

If you own a large piece of forest land, you can also have a considerable and stable income simply by relying on the rent from the power company.

Even though it was snowing, the atmosphere in Tokyo's party scene did not cool down.

Young people who are full of energy and have no pressure in life are all eager to vent their excitement, which leads to the existence of countless small bands in Tokyo that perform concerts every day.

In a livehouse in Nerima, several young people are preparing to go on stage.

Oda Kazumasa, the lead singer, was tuning his guitar and talking to his companions:

"I heard that a music producer is asking about us, Mina-san. We have to perform well today. Maybe there are producers watching us!"

"If a producer notices me, I will become famous?!"

They are already a relatively well-known band, but they are still in a small group. They have not been signed by a big company, so they have not released any albums.

"Boss, who is it this time?"

"I don't know," Oda Kazumasa shook his head. "The source only heard that it was a famous company."

"Where's the producer?"

“I don’t know.”

"Ah, these producers really won't reveal their ideas until they are sure."

After discovering a good talent, music producers will naturally not publicize it before signing a contract, otherwise what if competitors hear about it and poach it? !

Or maybe the band heard it, and then it would be hard to bargain down when negotiating the signing fee~

Oda Kazumasa and his band OFF COURSE enthusiastically discussed the future after being signed, and they were all looking forward to the day when they would become famous singers!

"Mina-san, stop imagining!"

Kazumasa Oda, the lead singer, suppressed everyone's thoughts.

"Anyway, we need to be at our best today! Let the producer take a good look at us!"

"Oss!!" X3
