Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1052 Chapter 1061 If you can't fly a private plane, what's the point of calling it

The news about Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori was once again published in the early morning newspapers.

Even though she had married into the Nagayama family, the media still used her stage name Akina Nakamori when reporting on her because it was more recognizable.

"Akina Nakamori is in the late stage of pregnancy, happily shopping with her husband!" "Relaxing? Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama appeared in Shinjuku, the expected date of delivery is August." "Celebrity couples shopping together, what brands are they buying?"

It seems that there has been no big news during this period, and the media immediately publicized this revelation after discovering it.

The long-lost name of Akina Nakamori once again appeared in people's ears and became the focus of everyone's discussion.

For general celebrities in the entertainment industry, if they don’t appear for a month, their popularity will decline. If they don’t show up for three months, their fans will decrease. If they don’t appear for half a year, they will have to be replaced!

But Akina Nakamori seems to have broken this rule. Even though she has not appeared for half a year, her popularity is still as high as ever.

“Akina Nakamori.”

Seiko Matsuda, who was also waiting to give birth at home, looked at the newspaper with a dissatisfied heart.

The photos of her secretly photographed during her prenatal checkup two days ago were not put on the cover of many newspapers.

"Why is it that she always manages to surpass me so easily?!"

After sulking, Seiko Matsuda called her own agency to inquire about her comeback plans.

"I plan to give birth in October. I will take a month to recover and I can arrange the announcement in December!"

Sunny Music's president, Aizawa Hidemasa, was a little surprised:

"Shengzi Sang, don't you need to rest for a while? Giving birth to a child is very bad for your body."

"Stupid tape!" Matsuda Seiko shook her head and said firmly, "New Year is a watershed. After the New Year, everyone will forget what happened a year ago."

"Then forget about me!"

Seiko Matsuda got married in the first half of last year, and after her honeymoon and pregnancy, she has been retired for more than a year now.

Although there are magazines and leaks, those kinds of gossips are simply not on the same level as the announcements on TV.

If another new year passes, people will probably really think that she hasn’t appeared since the year before last, and in retrospect, she will probably become “the idol who retired for two years”!

"Hey, we'll take care of it."

President Aizawa Hidemasa nodded in agreement.

"I will also try my best to get Shengzi-san to attend the Red and White Song Contest!"

"Arigado~"

"Naoki-san, Sassi ignores me~"

When Naoki Nagayama got off the plane, he saw Keiko Fujita, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Now Keiko Fujita wears high-end women's suits, has big wavy hair, and wears glasses. She looks domineering and cool, like a strong woman who walked out of a TV drama.

Speaking of which, Keiko Fujita, who was once an ordinary real estate agent, can be considered a member of the group that followed Naoki Nagayama. From buying the first house for him to her current position as investment and development manager of the real estate investment department of Shuyou Capital, she has already crossed several classes.

The current monthly transaction volume is something that could not have been achieved in the past two or three years.

"Keiko-san," Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, "I don't even recognize you anymore!"

"Haha, this is the attire of a business elite. It has a strong aura!"

As she was talking, Keiko Fujita led Naoki Nagayama to the other side of the airport in a swift and decisive manner.

"It's too slow to take a boat to the Seto Inland Sea, so we rented a helicopter this time."

This is Ehime Prefecture, a coastal city on the Seto Inland Sea. Naoki Nagayama came here today to see the island he purchased.

The small helicopter was ready. After Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Fujita sat in the back seat and put on headphones, the pilot gave a thumbs up in front, and then the propeller began to spin, bringing up a strong wind.

The weather is very good today, and it is a very wonderful feeling to see the sea from mid-air.

The blue Seto Inland Sea is like an uneven mirror, the folds blown by the sea breeze sparkle in the sun, and the waves where the ship passes by leave long white ripples on the water.

The outer periphery of the lush green island in the distance is black reefs, but there is a white sandy beach in the inner bay, and the shadows of vague buildings are revealed in the woods.

"Naoki-san, the residents here wanted to build a resort before, but the investment was too large and the return was too low."

Keiko Fujita pointed to the beach and introduced:

"There are many small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. This island is not far from the bustling port. There is only a beach and no other attractions. The investment cost-effectiveness is too low. Therefore, no travel company is willing to invest."

"So what's the house there now?"

“It used to be a residential area, but now it’s all abandoned.”

"I see."

The Seto Inland Sea has a warm climate with little rain all year round. It has no raw materials and no fuel. It has become a processing trade zone entirely due to its geographical location. Shipping is very developed. This island is not on the shipping route, but cargo ships can be seen passing by.

The helicopter landed in a square in the center of the island. This used to be a village with citrus trees planted around it, but it was very quiet now. The sound of the helicopter landing only made a few old ladies who were basking in the sun look up.

“Is anyone still living here?”

Naoki Nagayama took a look at the old man at the door of the farmhouse and was a little surprised. You know, such elderly people are the most troublesome during the relocation.

"Hey, but their children have moved to the nearby county town, and the rest is up to the Orange Orchard." Fujita Keiko was not in a hurry, "If we sell the house this time, they can also use the money to move there."

To be honest, it doesn’t matter if we don’t move away. There are not many people on this island anymore and the village will be deserted.

If you have children, it would be best to use the money to take care of you in your old age. If you don't have children, these elderly people will definitely be sent to a nearby nursing home when they reach a certain age, otherwise they will die silently.

After Naoki Nagayama bought the island, if he wanted to build a smaller building, it would definitely be far away from the village. If it was a large project, it would probably take five to ten years to build.

Along the fairly flat dirt road, Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Fujita circled the island a little and looked down from the highest hillside.

“This beach is about 300 meters long and has white sand, very nice.”

"The island bay is flat. There is a hillside behind it."

Although Naoki Nagayama has not yet planned what to build, this place does occupy a large area, and it will probably take most of the day to go around the island.

"Naoki-san" Keiko Fujita reminded him, "If we want to develop this island, we need to cut down trees, build roads, and level the land. We need to transfer equipment and manpower from Ehime Prefecture. If we want to be self-sufficient, we also need power generation equipment and so on. The subsequent investment is huge."

"Hmm," Naoki Nagayama nodded. It was indeed very troublesome to develop an island.

But so what, I have money!

The project design is handed over to the design institute, the construction is handed over to the construction company, and the project progress is handed over to the auditing company. I just need to enjoy it at the end!

After wandering around on the uninhabited island for most of the day, my legs were sore from walking. When I finally got back to the village, I drew a bucket of water from the village well and drank it. It turned out to be fresh water, which was perfect!

"Naoki-san, what project do you plan to build after purchasing this island?"

Keiko Fujita asked casually while drinking water.

“Nothing has been decided yet. A resort or a theme park is a possibility.”

"Eh~~~"

He spent a lot of money to buy an island before he even figured out what he was going to use it for. The land was not expensive, probably tens of billions, plus the entire village's real estate, orange orchards and other industries, the total would be more than two billion, right?

Thinking of the land that Naoki Nagayama had bought before, Keiko Fujita couldn't help but sigh,

“It’s great to have money~”

Looking at the hillsides, woodlands and various terrains on this open island, an idea came to my mind!

“It seems like it would be a good choice for filming Battle Royale.”

Then, we can use the investment from the filming to build our own island. How great!

Naturally, Naoki Nagayama does not need to do the subsequent procedures himself. Now the real estate company under Shuyou Capital can help complete them.

Now that they had finished watching, Keiko Fujita and Naoki Nagayama boarded a helicopter and flew to Ehime Prefecture, until they landed safely at the airport.

"Naoki-san, by the end of the year, this island will be your private island!"

"Then we can ask a design company to come and survey the island in advance." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "It would be best if the island can be developed within three years."

“It should be fine.”

Keiko Fujita answered with a smile, then looked at the time and asked,

"Naoki-san, it's already this late. Are you going to eat in Ehime Prefecture today? The seafood here is very fresh."

"No."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head.

"I've already bought the plane ticket. I'll transfer directly at the airport. Otherwise it will be too late to return to Tokyo~"

“Hi, have a nice trip.”

Keiko Fujita has to stay to handle the procedures for the purchase of the island and will not go back with Nagayama Naoki.

"Thank you for your hard work~"

After changing two flights in a row, Naoki Nagayama finally returned to Narita Airport in the evening.

The professional driver Toda Zhian has already met us at the airport gate:

"Naoki-san, did your trip go smoothly today?"

“Yes, I have also seen the island.”

Naoki Nagayama sat in the back seat of the car, feeling a little sore in his back and waist. It was really tiring to catch flights continuously, even though it was a first-class cabin.

"It's just that we were in such a rush to catch the flight. There are only two flights a day between Ehime Prefecture and Tokyo."

Toda Tomoan could only smile:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Airlines look at demand, and there isn't much demand for travel between Ehime and Tokyo."

"Yes, yes. We all have to listen to the airline."

Naoki Nagayama moved his arms and sounded a little unhappy. He had just spent billions of dollars, but he still had to catch a flight. If only the plane was mine, he could fly whenever he wanted.

Wait, what if the plane is mine?!

The term private jet is not common. Like luxury yachts, it is usually owned by the super-rich. Now, Naoki Nagayama seems to have become one of the super-rich in Japan.

It is not a big deal to buy a private jet, but it takes a lot of things to maintain it, such as a hangar, pilots, and professional maintenance personnel.

"Zhi An-kun, can you fly a plane?"

Naoki Nagayama subconsciously asked his personal driver. After all, an airplane is just a means of transportation, and a pilot is also a driver in a broad sense!

"Ah?" Toda Tomoan was surprised. "Me? Flying a plane?"

"Yes, if I buy a private plane, I will be short of a pilot." Naoki Nagayama said, "Tomoan-kun, you are my full-time driver, and flying a plane is a necessary skill!"

"What's the point of calling yourself a chauffeur if you can't fly a private jet?!"

"???"

When did the requirements for full-time drivers become so high?

Toda Tomoan's face was full of doubts, but he still answered honestly:

"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, I can't fly a plane"

"Alas," Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Tomoan-kun, you have to be ambitious to be a driver. Find a chance to learn how to fly a plane. Once you learn, I'll let you drive my private plane. Your salary will more than double!"

"If you can't learn it, I'll have to find a full-time pilot."

"."

Toda Tomiyasu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Hey, I'll do my best!"

After teasing his driver, Naoki Nagayama felt happy and his fatigue from the whole day seemed to be relieved.

After returning to Yamazakurain, Hiitaro was indeed the first one to run over to greet him.

The dog rubbed back and forth beside Naoki Nagayama's thighs, and the feeling of its thick tail hitting his legs was a bit like a hammer.

"Yoshi yoshi, have you been good today, Yingtaro? Have you listened to your mother?"

"Yingtaro is very good!"

When I looked up, I saw Akina standing at the door, watching this scene of loving father and filial son.

"Today I even broke a pot of flowers in the flowerbed!"

After saying this, he pointed in the direction of the flower bed. A flower was falling on the edge and would have to wait for the garden maintenance company to come and replace it next week.

"."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the dog who was lowering his head to please him, then looked at Akina who was holding her belly and was honored by her son. He reached out and grabbed the flesh on the dog's face.

"Bad dog calls you to run!"

"Woof woof, woof woof! (Master, I am innocent!)"

"I'll cut off your balls next time you run around!"

"."

After entering the door, a burst of fragrance came. Mrs. Nonaka Mari was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and the tempting aroma wafted over.

"Naoki-san, Akina-san, just wait a little longer and we can have dinner!"

"Hi~"

Naoki Nagayama pulled Akina to sit on the sofa and asked about what happened today.

"Why didn't Naoki-san call all day?"

"You are not allowed to make phone calls on the plane, and there is no signal on the island."

Naoki Nagayama brought a mobile phone, but in this era, mobile phones can only have signals in big cities, so they are useless.

"I even had lunch on the plane today."

"Hey~~~ So miserable."

Akina patted her husband's shoulder to comfort him.

“Eat more at night”

"."

"How about the island?"

"Ha, that island is huge." Naoki Nagayama began to talk nonstop, "There's an abandoned village in the middle, with a freshwater well, a bay outside, and a long beach."

Mingcai's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had known for a long time that her husband wanted to buy an island. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have definitely gone with him to take a look.

"Akina, what do you think we should build on this island?"

"A zoo for rare animals?" Akina thought for a moment and said, "If it's surrounded by sea water, the animals can't escape. There's also fresh water and various terrains, so it's convenient for various animals to have their own habitats."

“We only need to build a few houses for temporary stay, so that people can buy tickets to visit the island and see the rare animals up close.”

"."

What, Mingcai-chan, are you going to build a real-life version of "Jurassic Park"? !

This thinking is very advanced!

“Some animals are illegal to keep,” Naoki Nagayama complained, “unless you clone them using genetic technology.”

"Is it possible?" Akina was surprised and curious, "Clone a dinosaur?"

“.” It’s really going to become “Jurassic Park”!

Fortunately, at this time, Mari Nonaka called out from the restaurant, "Naoki-san, Akina-san, dinner is ready!"

"Ah come right over here!"

Naoki Nagayama quickly pulled Akina to have dinner!
