The old agent was worried all day long, and sometimes it went beyond the agent's responsibilities. It was as if he was worrying about things for others, as if once he started, he couldn't stop.
Of course, the reason why Omoto is like this is simply because the person he is worried about is Nakamori Akina.
This Taopusida herself may not be able to realize that since her debut, she has passed by crises more than once, but she has resolved the crises wonderfully. Therefore, from time to time, she helped Nakamori Akina and helped her. In the process of breathing a sigh of relief, Ben unknowingly turned into a verbose person, like an elder who treats his niece.
Although Akina Nakamori thanked Omoto for his kindness, she still secretly laughed when she heard her old manager’s instructions. She complained about herself, “Am I giving people the impression that I know nothing about economic affairs and am easily deceived? Ben Sang.”
Faced with such a straightforward and overly direct question, Daben found it difficult to answer and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If the answer is "Yes", it would be inappropriate to look down on her so blatantly. But if the answer is "That's not the case", Akina Nakamori herself will not believe it.
In fact, asking her old manager to give special advice to such trivial matters also means that she does give people such an impression.
Nakamori Akina didn't get an answer from Omoto, so she answered herself, "Actually, it's not wrong to think so..."
There are many more agents who deceive artists than TV staff who blackmail them. I don’t know how many artists were tricked by their trusted agents and ended up in a mess. Because of this, we can see the personality of Akina Nakamori. After facing her weakness, he still chose to give her advice with good intentions, which is particularly valuable.
Listening to Akina Nakamori's evaluation of herself, Omoto didn't know what to say for a moment. He remembered that a while ago, when she had just moved in with Shin Iwahashi, she became anxious and began to pay attention to buying a house.
He said, "Recently, even the land prices in Tokyo have been falling, which makes people feel unsure."
For the Japanese, the myth of housing prices is the most reliable pillar supporting this golden age. Now, even this pillar is shaky, which makes people have to worry about whether the sky above their heads will It really won't collapse.
"My brother bought a house in Saitama and has thirty years to repay the loan. These days, he is paying so much attention to land prices that he seems to be planning to buy a house again."
Daben laughed and said, "When I didn't buy a house, I hoped that housing prices would continue to fall. If I bought a house, I hoped that it would continue to rise."
When he said this, even the little assistant who had mastered the assistant manual started laughing.
Daben, his wife and son still rent a house.
During the real estate boom, Ben and his wife had not imagined owning their own house. However, Ben worked as a broker, running around all day, being on standby 24 hours a day, and traveling for business. The locations are either all over the country or concentrated in a few places in the capital.
Such a fluctuating job has nothing to do with the life of ordinary office workers, and buying a house seems redundant. So at this moment, Daben feels quite leisurely and comfortable as he stays away from everything and just relaxes and watches the excitement.
When it comes to land prices in Tokyo, anyone can join in the topic and say something, even the assistant can't hold back. Ordinary people can't actually say anything sensible and insightful, but there is no doubt that, This is a topic that anyone can participate in and anyone can be affected by.
Ben and his assistant were talking to each other, and Akina Nakamori unknowingly became the one watching the fun.
However, while listening to the conversation between her agent and her assistant, she felt somewhat unbelievable about what was happening.
In the past few years, Akina Nakamori has been equally successful in buying land to build houses and selling land and houses.
When Nakamori decided to build the Nakamori Building, Akina Nakamori also applied for a loan from the bank. In fact, if it weren't for the economic boom and the banks were eager to lend money, the profession of an artist with an unstable income would probably have been rejected by the bank.
In the era when the bubble was at its peak, one of the big topics in variety shows among outdated and established entertainers was that when the now popular entertainers revealed that they had bought something expensive, the old entertainers would stand next to them and say that they had just wanted to take out a loan to buy a house, but they were rejected.
The old story of rejection must also be exaggerated in tone, plus a few words about the difference.
Hearing complaints about this era from the mouths of outdated old artists has a special entertainment effect.
Although they are outdated old artists complaining about this era, they are actually acting ugly to show to the people who are addicted to this era. Look at these embarrassing guys from the old era!
It is the tradition of Japanese variety shows to drag out old actors to look ugly and use various derogatory and sarcastic methods.
When she sold the Nakamori Building, housing prices were at their peak, and Akina Nakamori even made a small profit.
Not long ago, her mother, Chieko, wanted to sell the house in her hometown and divorce her father. At that time, land prices had already begun to fall, and houses in Kiyose, a small town not close to Tokyo, were not selling as quickly as usual.
The sons and daughters of the Nakamori family felt it was a pity to sell their house at a time when land prices were falling. Since they wanted to sell, why couldn't they sell it when the price was higher?
They just don’t know whether they think it’s a pity that the house was sold too early or too late.
When the stock market bubble was blowing up and elementary school students were all stock gods, Akina Nakamori did not join in. When celebrities were able to participate in investments because of their fame, she did not endorse companies that appeared out of nowhere.
However, those companies that appeared out of nowhere made a lot of money for a while and became sponsors of TV programs. It was not like she had never performed in programs sponsored by those companies. Although the TV programs were sponsored by who, it was the TV station's.
thing.
Although Akina Nakamori has not directly participated in anything, and has not been affected by anything, she has always been involved in this era in a strange way. In other words, in such an era, no one is immune, even if she is involved with
Those who have the least chance to live in the world of luxury and prosperity cannot truly stay out of it.
When the bubble burst, Nakamori Akina seemed to truly understand what a bubble was.
But despite this...
Ben and his assistant unknowingly reached a consensus of "not buying a house now," but Akina Nakamori still didn't give up the idea.
It doesn't need to be a big house, nor does it need to be luxurious. As long as it can be her new home... that kind of house is enough.
In a sense, Kiyose's former hometown was sold and ceased to exist. This incident stimulated Akina Nakamori.
