The powerful Burning also invested in a large amount of stocks, real estate, and art during the bubble era. Real estate and art are both closely related to the Yakuza and political circles.
When the bubble bursts, for the Yakuza organizations, it is an opportunity to make money wantonly. They use black and gray means to deal with bad debts, and use ultra-low prices that are almost extortion to seize land from ordinary people.
People are forced into the hell of borrowing money, until even people are sold.
During the heyday of the bubble, ordinary people were forced to be involved in the torrent of the times. After the bubble burst, ordinary people were the most vulnerable and became the most direct victims. They carried a mountain of burdens, lost all their money, and were even targeted by Yakuza organizations, and their families were ruined.
.
The so-called bubble era is an era that makes the strong stronger and allows those with power to plunder wantonly. Even if ordinary people seem to be lucky, when the wind of the times stops, what awaits them is
It's still the ending of falling into hell.
In the area where Zhou Fangyuxiong lives, his neighbors include both political figures and business elites. For a young man who doesn't belong to the mainstream, being neighbors with these people can be regarded as inspirational.
There are many factions in the political world. Each faction not only has a fixed breakfast meeting time, but the leader of the faction will also call important officials to his home for gatherings. The younger generation who are respected in the faction may even establish a father-son relationship with the leader.
Relationship.
Ikuo Suho worked as a driver for a congressman and saw what the political world was like. He didn't agree with it. He felt that the behavior of people in politics was no different from that of the Yakuza. In fact, factions and organizations are basically the same thing. Such Ikuo Suho
, and also regularly held gatherings at home, inviting the president of the burning department office and highly regarded cadres to participate.
Burning laid out the record industry and was full of ambitions for a prosperous record market. As soon as Nagato Daiyuki joined, he became a direct descendant of Shufang Ikuo. Not only did Nagato Daiyuki's seat be indispensable every time Shufang Ikuo held a banquet in his magnificent residence,
, every now and then, he would be invited to attend gatherings that only his close relatives could attend.
Now that he has become a member of the Burning system, Nagato Daiyuki simply made up his mind to start a career under the protection of Shufang Ikuo - at least a career that can trample the genzo of the naughty boy named Iwahashi under his feet.
He is ambitious and actively maintains communication with the president of the office and company executives, who are highly regarded by Ikuo Suho. Not only that, Nagato Daiyuki, a Kansai businessman, also vaguely foresees the close relationship between Burning and the Yakuza forces.
, maybe you can make a lot of money in the real estate industry next.
There is power that can be borrowed, why not borrow it? Nagato Daiyuki also hopes to have a chance to get a share of the pie. As for whether this share of the pie is taken from the hands of ordinary people who have been forced to lose their families, for him,
, is not important either.
...If you take the wrong path, you will have to pay the price.
This idea arises because Nagato Daiyuki got to know people from the Yakuza organization through Shubo Ikuo.
The leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi Goto-gumi, Tadamasa Goto, and Ikuo Subo were brothers who drank from the same bowl of wine. Once or twice, at a party at Ikuo Subo's house, Tadamasa Goto brought his cadres to support him.
The Goto-gumi is quite influential in the Yamaguchi-gumi, and this group is also one of the most notorious groups among violent organizations. It extorts ordinary people and frequently resorts to violence against them. Many of the cadres in the group are
It has a criminal record and has even been responsible for a human life. It is a Yakuza organization that has attracted the attention of the police.
But even this kind of Goto group has to run its own front-end enterprise when the new era comes. Ikuo Shubo is Goto Tadamasa's partner. Of course, Ikkio Shubo is by no means the spokesperson of the Yakuza organization. To be precise, he
He is the leader of a Yakuza organization on the stage.
When he was a child, in his hometown in Kansai, Nagato Daiyuki once received candy from a Yakuza member when he passed by a Yakuza office. The Yakuza member smiled at the child and looked friendly and approachable.
Now, he and the ruthless leader of the Yakuza were sitting in the same banquet hall, drinking and talking.
At night, when Nagato Daiyuki was on his way to Shufang Ikuo's house, he laughed at himself in his heart, thinking that he was like the brother-in-law of a Yakuza organization.
Whenever there is a gathering where Nagato Daiko is present, Baba Shunichi will definitely be invited.
Whether Shufang Ikuo knew that Baba Shunichi was ambitious about Vermillion Records, or that he arranged for Baba Shunichi to be the head of Vermillion Records just to defeat Nagato Daiyuki, Nagato Daiyuki did not know about this.
But he knew in his heart that although Ikuo Suho did not interfere with the management of the offices under the Burning Department and only required the offices under his protection to submit documents, this consistent rule did not apply to VerMillion Records.
After all, entertainment agencies can be established at any time, and only a few record companies can really develop. Burning must fully operate Vermillion Records, and it is impossible to start a new business.
This means that even though he now has several popular bands, Nagato Daiko still dare not relax.
…
Oda Tetsuro was pursuing a female high school student, and of course he couldn't hide this from Ikuo Suho. When he met Nagato Daiyuki, Ikuo Suho took it as a joke and asked, "Is Oda-kun still infatuated with that little girl?"
"
Nagato Daiyuki smiled apologetically at the side, "Oda-kun is the kind of person who never relaxes when he sees something."
"I have already experienced this." Zhou Fangyuxiong said lightly.
If you know what you are sure of, you won't change it. Since such a stubborn person no longer contributes music to VerMillion Records, it is unrealistic to expect him to change his mind.
Nagato Daiyuki was so upset that he almost lost his composure. However, Shufang Ikuo's tone when he talked about this matter was as if nothing had happened. He didn't even think that it was something worthy of attention that Tetsuro Oda would no longer contribute music to VerMillion Records.
.
"Anyway, if that female high school student wants to make her debut..." Nagato Daiyuki carefully considered his words, not only to smooth things over, but also to take the opportunity to test his tone.
Shufang Ikuo casually interrupted Nagato Daiyuki's hesitation, "When the day comes, let Oda-kun choose a record company he trusts and release the contract, and it will be done."
Asking Tetsuro Oda to choose a record company he trusts directly reflects the fact that Tetsuro Oda lacks trust in Vermillion Records.
Shufang Ikuo pointed this out so unceremoniously that Nagato Daiyuki was surprised by this and subconsciously argued - he didn't even know who he was arguing for, "but in that case, the company's interests will be harmed." One.
Of course, it is not the same thing for a singer to be signed by his own company and to give up his record contract to another company.
"...And this is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to let the outside world know that Oda-kun is at odds with the company."
Nagato Daiyuki was hesitant and hesitant, but Ikuo Sufang was a little impatient.
This producer has rich experience and talent. Not only that, he can also be ruthless where he should be decisive and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not be appointed as the president of the record company, and he is trusted by Ikuo Subo. However, Nagato Daiyuki
The biggest shortcoming is that it is too short-sighted and narrow-minded. A short-sighted personality can sometimes destroy the opportunities that have been created.
"So what if the outside world knows about it?" Zhou Fangyuxiong asked.
Nagato Daiyuki shut his mouth, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He knew clearly that Shufang Ikuo did not want him to answer this question.
"There is no such thing as a company that can grow big and last for a long time just by counting on one person. Nagato-san, you should regard your current dependence on Oda-kun as a temporary measure." Ikuo Shubo expressed his thoughts.
In fact, Nagato Daiyuki is also aware of this and has already begun to make plans for this. However, there are some things that need to be said by Ikuo Shufang, so that he can gain more support. A tacit understanding
Rules for superiors and subordinates.
"The important thing is to use the time created by Oda-kun to discover new composers and new routes." Ikuo Shufang said this and praised, "Use Oda-kun's reputation to promote other people——
With the two newly debuted bands, Nagato-san did it right."
Shufang Ikuo was giving instructions to Nagato Daiyuki, but in fact, Nagato Daiyuki already knew what he said.
"You can't count on the same composer at any time. Even if there is someone like Tsutsumi Kyohei, no record company will think that as long as they get him, they will no longer need new people."
In fact, it will be difficult for the music written by Tsutsumi Kyohei to sell well after his era has passed.
Oda Tetsuro, the man who is currently in the limelight, may not be in the same situation in a few years. It is one thing when the public needs it, and it is another thing when the public turns to chase new fashions. What is popular in an era
, people who bring popularity will be praised as heroes. However, if things remain unchanged, there will be no heroes who will not fade away.
In Shufang Ikuo's eyes, from beginning to end, Oda Tetsuro is just a chess piece that can be used temporarily. Rather than holding on to this chess piece, it is better to make good use of this chess piece when it can create value. Wait until a new one
Fashion is created, and this chess piece can be thrown away at any time.
If we really want to say it, Nagato Daiyuki is certainly stingy and careless and seems short-sighted, but compared to someone like Ikuo Subo, Nagato Daiyuki's stinginess makes him look cute.
"What the president said makes sense." Baba Shunichi agreed from the side. He suddenly mentioned, "Speaking of new routes, isn't Genzo's Iwahashi-san turning to producing dance music groups now?" He is also a solo singer.
, is another dance music group, and Shinichi Iwahashi is constantly tossing. Not only that, but every step he takes is really impressive.
However, when Baba Shuni mentioned this matter, he had something else in mind. Long before Tetsuya Komuro and Shinichi Iwahashi got together, Tetsuya Komuro had been in contact with the Burning system. However, it was the time when the band was hot, and Ikuo Suukao
After failing to attack Genzo, he wanted to annex the being of Nagato Daiyuki. Therefore, Baba Shunichi, who had secretly had contact with Tetsuya Komuro, put the seemingly whimsical musician aside and devoted all his efforts to annexing the being.
on things.
Now Komuro Tetsuya has become a figure under Shinichi Iwahashi. After missing a big fish, Baba Shunichi will naturally keep this matter in his stomach. However, now that he takes the initiative to talk about it, he might not be thinking about it.
To test Ikuo Shufu's opinion on the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro.
"Genzo's rock bridge?" Zhou Fang Ikuo thought thoughtfully.
He also started as a production company and then opened a record company. Compared with Iwahashi Shinichi's methods, Nagato Daiko can only be regarded as second-rate. However, Nagato Daiko is a person who can be used for himself.
When Baba Junichi mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi, Nagato Daiyuki was moved in his heart, remembering the idea he had come up with to sow discord. He looked at Shufang Ikuo with eager eyes.
However, Zhou Fangyuxiong was playing with the wine glass in his hand and seemed to be deep in thought.
What Ikuo Suho thought of was not the collaboration between Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro, but an incident that happened some time ago. The editor-in-chief of a magazine closely related to Burning, when accepting Ikuo Suho's reception, mentioned that there was a person who was facing them.
magazine broke the news that the giraffe man who said Dreams Come True was played by Iwahashi-san from Genzo.
The editor-in-chief did not regard this matter as a big deal, but he also felt that it was a bit strange for someone to suddenly appear and reveal such a thing.
Even Zhou Fang Yuxiong was curious about this.
At that time, the editor-in-chief said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Tell him here that it is impossible to publish such baseless revelations... He refused like this."
No matter whether Shinichi Iwahashi is Dreams Come True's Giraffe Man or not, he is now a big shot in the entertainment industry and cannot be offended easily. And Dreams Come True is Sony Records' signature band. If anyone puts their ideas into the band, Sony's
Bian must not be let go easily.
More importantly, "Band Paradise" has brought out so many bands. If Shinichi Iwahashi's stage is demolished, it will offend the industry. If a weekly magazine offends the power of the industry, the next one in the industry will refuse to accept the news from this magazine.
The magazine's ban on interviews and photo shoot invitations meant that I had to suffer a lot.
For magazines, they can offend a single star, but it is absolutely impossible to challenge the industry directly.
This is also the reason why Zhou Fang Ikuo is curious about this matter.
Shinichi Iwahashi is the giraffe man of dreams come true. Anyone with a slight status in the industry knows this, and naturally they can't hide it from Ikuo Suho.
However, just as the editor-in-chief was worried, no one would expose this mystery. At first, Shubo Ikuo used "Weekly Bunshun" to snipe Iwahashi Shinichi. He used various excuses in the article, but he did not dare to mention the giraffe man.
secret.
This kind of unspoken rule in the industry, at this moment, a person who suddenly appeared wants to attack it, and the method he uses is to break the news to a weekly magazine.
This can only show that the person who broke the news cannot be from the entertainment industry.
Perhaps he was an ordinary person who stumbled upon this incident and wanted to make some extra money by breaking the news. Unfortunately, his discovery triggered a taboo in the industry.
