It was precisely because the person milling around him was holding a useless card that made Iwahashi Shinichi even more vigilant.
On the one hand, as far as the situation at hand was concerned, Shinichi Iwahashi controlled the rhythm of the game and knew what cards the opponent had in his hand. But on the other hand, he had to consider one thing.
That is, whether Takeyama Hiroshi or that strange young man, they know that what they are holding is a useless card.
Not knowing that it was a useless card and mistaking it for its value, and knowing that it was a useless card but not giving up, are two different things. To understand this matter, you need to know that the relationship between Takeyama Hiroshi and that young man
Is there any relationship between them?
If Takeyama Hiroshi is that strange young man, it means that he came to approach him even though he knew that he was holding a useless card. In that case, Takeyama Hiroshi's risk index would be greatly increased.
rise.
The current situation, of course, is to stay put and not reveal your identity rashly. Regardless of whether the opponent knows that it is a useless card, you must cooperate with them and pretend that the card is useful.
However, maintaining the status quo does not mean doing nothing and letting such people around you. If you do not act rashly, you must do it secretly.
At this point, it is obvious that the strange young man is more important than Hiroshi Takeyama who wrote the explosive letter.
Regardless of whether Takeyama Hiroshi and that young man are related or not, or whether they are the same person, the most important thing for Iwahashi Shinichi is to secretly pay attention to whether the strangely dressed young man will continue to appear.
Shinichi Iwahashi looked through the window at the calm feet, making plans in his mind. At this moment, the unknown struggle of the Inagawa Society suddenly flashed through his mind.
Now, everything he is facing is under his control. So, if Daochuan is facing the situation now, everything is under the control of Daochuan Holy City...
There are two factions within the Inagawa Society. Is the anger of the members real or staged?
Iwahashi Shinichi thought of the key point.
Do the members of the organization who sided with Jiro Tsunoda because of the unfair position of Inagawa Yuhiro really think that Inagawa Seijo condoned the Shinjuku 5-chome incident in order for his son to become the next president, or are they just pretending to do so?
Tsukuru is angry because of Inagawa Holy City's favoritism?
Whether the members' anger is real or not is also crucial.
If this anger is staged, then it is a conspiracy within the Inakawa Society. But if this anger is real, then Inakawa Holy City must be responsible for conveying the anger of the members.
Lead to somewhere.
In this regard, Iwahashi Shinichi is similar at this moment.
If the person in the secret doesn't know that what he is holding is a useless card, then everything is under control. However, if that person knows that what he is holding is a useless card, Iwahashi Shinichi must consider being more cautious.
response plan. Although you don’t know what the opponent’s plot is, you must start preparing in advance to ensure that you can withstand an attack that may come at any time.
If the Inagawa Society's current tense situation is true, then where this anger will eventually lead is to the truth about the Shinjuku Guchome incident.
As long as this anger is true, it cannot be treated as if nothing happened as the matter is solved. Besides, with a ready-made anger, Daochuan Holy City can really let it dissipate, instead of trying every means to
Make use of it?
It is difficult for the Yakuza in modern society to have large-scale protests at any time like in the barbaric and chaotic era. Last year, the "Violent Organization Countermeasures Act" was promulgated, and the Yakuza have restrained themselves and worked hard to clean up their crimes.
In this context, if the leader of one of the top organizations in Kanto allows such anger to appear, he must not let the bow string go unstrung. Otherwise, he will suffer the consequences of unstrung bow.
Unless the entire Inagawa Council was a master of acting, performing such anger. Otherwise, Shinichi Iwahashi realized that perhaps what Inagawa Holy City was looking at at the beginning was a piece of fat.
Those members who are at war with each other, their anger at this moment is definitely not useless. At first glance, it seems that there is an internal struggle, but in fact, this power is prepared for a certain force.
Thinking of this possibility, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly felt that the fate of Shinjuku 5-chome might be more complicated than imagined, but it might also be simpler than imagined.
Perhaps, that was not a means for external forces to sow discord among the Inakawa Society, but an invitation for the Inakawa Society to launch an attack on the outside world.
Shinichi Iwahashi immediately thought that if Hiroshi Takeyama was that young man, or if there was a relationship between the two people, then he would have to consider that there was a deeper reason why he insisted on exposing the identity of the giraffe man.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi had to make an assumption in his mind, that is, he insisted on exposing his identity as a giraffe man. Is this a means or a hook?
No matter which possibility it is, one thing is certain. If Takeyama Hiroshi was that young man, and that young man would still appear around him, this matter would be completely different.
Under the premise that the media will not expose Shinichi Iwahashi as the Giraffe Man, if it is just to expose the Giraffe Man's identity, then no matter what the person in the dark does, it will not succeed.
However, if he has another agenda, Iwahashi Shinichi will start to pay attention to whether there are any strange people around him recently. If that strange young man appears again, it is almost certain that he must have another agenda.
Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi secretly arranged for someone to pay attention to the situation nearby when he usually went in and out.
Someone who can boldly rush up to him and shout "KIRIN-san!" is not a professional stalker.
…
This matter was put aside for the time being.
Buying land is a big and happy event. After signing the contract, Shinichi Iwahashi went home to see Akina Nakamori in the evening and reported the progress of the land purchase to her.
I bought a piece of land worth 400 million yen, demolished it and rebuilt it, and when the new house was built - the new home also needed to prepare a recording studio. By then, the total value of the land and the buildings would be around 670 million yen.
.
Akina Nakamori looked at the contract carefully - with such a level of care, it seemed that as long as she read every word in the contract more carefully, she could get back some of her capital. Until she read it again and confirmed it with Shinichi Iwahashi, "
Four hundred million yen?”
When she first decided to buy this piece of land, she obviously went to see it together and took a fancy to it. But now that she had decided, she showed a shocked expression, as if it was a joke.
Really.
"So, doesn't it mean I have to take on a loan of hundreds of millions of yen?" She did some calculations and suddenly felt a huge burden on her shoulders.
A few years ago, when Akina Nakamori paid for the building of the building for her family, she only spent a little over 100 million yen. As expected, the countryside of Kiyose is completely different from the high-end residential areas in the city.
"Don't worry," Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her serious face, "I can pay off my monthly installments."
"This nonchalant expression..."
Nakamori Akina glanced at him hard, as if the guy in front of her was the kind of rich man she disliked the most. The Taopusida blinked and suddenly asked an important question: "Shinichi, are you rich?"
When she asked this question, she had completely forgotten that she was a little rich woman who had been on the tax ranking list for many years. Unlike Nakamori Akina, Iwahashi Shinichi would not appear on the tax ranking list. After all, he was the man in black behind the scenes——
The pure black kind.
Since he was asked, Iwahashi Shinichi told her honestly and calculated his net worth with her.
Today, DREAMS E TRUE has guaranteed sales of three million albums and two million singles every year. Its sales have ranked first among all singers for two consecutive years. This year, it is even expected to achieve three consecutive sales tops, ranking first among other records.
The company wanted to poach Japan's best-selling band after the contract expired, and the transfer fee was as high as 1.2 billion yen.
In addition to Iwahashi Shinichi's share of the share as a member, he and Nakamura brother Zeng Yi, because of their special circumstances, did not receive the one-time buyout of ordinary arrangers for their arrangement work.
, but you can get a share of the arrangement share.
In addition to the roughly 1.5% share that he received as a member, the bulk of what Shinichi Iwahashi actually received was the 6% producer share that he received in the name of the producer.
Even if a singer does all the lyrics, music, arrangement and performs the singing himself, the total share he can get is only 6%.
However, Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan also receive song royalties from on-demand karaoke and radio on-demand songs, so the incomes of the three of them are basically the same.
Last year, DREAMS E TRUE alone brought a generous share of more than 500 million yen to Shinichi Iwahashi. He, the man in black behind the scenes, will not appear on the tax rankings in the entertainment industry, but Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan will.
.
Miwa-chan topped the tax payment list last year, with a tax amount of 200 million yen - after tax avoidance. However, after entering the Heisei period, this list no longer announced the specific tax amount, only the ranking.
In the past few years, the record market has been sluggish, and with idols in power - the share of revenue idols can get is very low in the industry. The annual tax rankings seem to be calm, basically spinning around tens of millions of yen.
When the bubble was at its peak, singers did not earn that much. But now, the record market is booming, and it is the spring of singer-songwriters. Singers who can be on the tax list often have a considerable number.
In a sense, in today's depressed world, it is a good thing that the specific tax amount is not disclosed to the public.
Iwahashi Shinichi has already made a lot of money in DREAMS E TRUE, not to mention that GENZO is now booming and has many best-selling singers. He gets a 6% producer share in DREAMS E TRUE, and when he produces other singers, he gets
Fifteen percent producer share.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi earns more and spends more, he has been unable to save money in the past few years. But in the past two years, he has finally made money faster than he spends it, which is enough for him to support his wife and several children...
...Although this wife does not need him to support her, she still gives him a bowl of soft and fragrant rice from time to time for him to taste.
But as the saying goes, there are some things that you can use without, but you can never live without them.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina casually took stock of their net worth. Taopusida listened attentively. But after listening, the first thing he said was: "It doesn't matter whether it's the producer, the agency or the record company, the fees are too harsh.
.”
She is a person who has to be divided again and again after working hard. As expected, wherever she is, she cares about certain issues.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed and suggested to her, "Otherwise, after you get married, you can also become a producer."
Akina Nakamori is now the music producer of her own records, but she is restricted after all. Although she can decide her own music, the producer share she can get is definitely not as high as that of a man in black behind the scenes like Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, if she continues to work after getting married, the producer's share will have to be increased.
In addition, if she is interested in making new people, that's not impossible.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help complaining, "I'm an actor, a singer, and now I'm a producer. Akina-chan hasn't even gotten married yet, and her married life has already been fully arranged by Iwahashi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, and he casually offered suggestions, "This year I will film a TV series, next year I will release an album, and the year after that I will be a producer for a singer. This way I will be busy."
"You really know how to speak." Akina Nakamori complained.
Iwahashi Shinichi happily accepted this sentence, but still told her, "Of course, the most important thing is to take care of everything at home."
Akina Nakamori liked hearing this, she couldn't help but feel happy, but she still wanted to complain, "Just say you can speak?"
Just hearing these words, I thought it was because she was being disgusted by her talk.
However, all joking aside, this is actually a problem that is before us and is ready to be solved.
After getting married, family must come first. If she couldn't keep everything at home in order, Akina Nakamori wouldn't let herself go out to work with peace of mind.
In addition to taking care of family affairs, you also have to consider things like pregnancy, maternity leave, and raising children. Therefore, compared to jobs that have strict time requirements, a job that allows you to let the audience go according to your own plan at any time is more suitable.
For example, if a singer releases a record and feels dissatisfied, it is not impossible to delay the release for fifteen years.
It's June, and some work arrangements for next year need to be prepared now. Therefore, Nakamori Akina also has to deal with Kenyin during this period. When the office formally negotiates with her, she will discuss it with Iwahashi Shinichi
The results of the marriage were reported to the office as well as her request to continue working after marriage.
Iwahashi Shinichi would not do anything, just ask her to say hello to the office.
GENZO and Yanyin formed an alliance, but Akina Nakamori still wanted to continue working after getting married. Yanyin could no longer continue to deal with Akina Nakamori according to the previous contract conditions.
Fighting for the rights of his wife and increasing the income for the future family is a matter of Iwahashi's heart.
