However, when asked by the soul, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think it was serious and said: "Don't worry, there is always a clue."
Hearing what he said, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you." After a pause, "Actually, since you have decided to continue our cooperation, you may consider accepting my investment."
"Of course, in my personal capacity." Watanabe Manyumi specifically emphasized.
You know, her personality of not asking meaningless questions will make her successful if she asks them.
However, from her words, Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that Watanabe Manyumi must have noticed the reason why he left Watanabe Productions.
"Manyumi-san, you are still a freshly painted cake." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, "It's just because the cake is freshly painted that I want to add some noodles."
"Of course, although I admire you, I will not do anything that will cost me money. After listening to your idea and the plan just mentioned, I thought it was feasible, so I specifically proposed it."
In the early days of starting a business, no matter how frugal he was, he was still short of funds. He was unfamiliar with the place and the places to raise money were limited, not to mention that not all money could be used.
The strongest way for the dark circles in the industry to grow their bruning power is to spend money, invest in brokers or senior executives who have just become independent from the firm, and help them open new firms with money and effort. After that, they will be short-handed and become a member of the bruning system.
, obey the orders.
With the idea, I went to the leader of the fire department, Ikuo Shufu. With his current reputation, I might be able to borrow a sum of money. But, can the money from this angel (devil) investor be used?
Regardless of whether it is used properly or not, the outcome will be unclear for most of my life.
As for the real angel investor parents, apart from the WeChat friends who don’t show up for a year and borrow money when they show up, Shizuoka’s family is ordinary and can’t help much.
The middle class of 100 million people. Although the middle class sounds good and lives a decent life, don't expect to become a prosperous person.
When he decided to open a company, his WeChat friend Shinichi Iwahashi called his parents in Shizuoka to inform him of his decision. The mother on the other end of the phone was surprised when he heard this, "You want to open a production company?"
"Yes, cooperate with friends." Shinichi Iwahashi said generally.
His family knew that he had become an agent, so it shouldn't be surprising that he would pursue a career in the music industry.
Having said that, the mother on the other end of the phone was not fooled by his words and asked him several questions seriously, aiming to understand what he would do next.
This was the first time that Shinichi Iwahashi felt that parents who gave their children subtle freedoms did not just ignore them.
Then, he realized that there are ten thousand pairs of parents in the world, and there are ten thousand ways of getting along with families.
The family could not count on it, and it was difficult to find investors who liked each other. Watanabe Manyumi offered to invest and might be a good partner.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi also had some ideas of his own, so he didn't take the opportunity to ask her her specific thoughts, but he didn't refuse outright, but said vaguely: "Please allow me to think about it."
Watanabe Manyumi expressed her understanding, "Okay."
…
Going out with the domineering boss during working hours is very conspicuous, but even when colleagues know about it, they don't take it seriously.
It has been announced that Watanabe Manyumi will go out on her own, and Iwahashi Shinichi's resignation has also been a foregone conclusion. As the die-hard Manyumi who is closest to her, almost everyone at Watanabe's production believes that he will follow her after resigning.
's new office.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't know whether it was because she was unhappy that her mother had pushed Shinichi Iwahashi away, or for other reasons, so she did not tell her about Shinichi Iwahashi's future after his resignation.
The date of resignation was approaching, and Shinichi Iwahashi did almost all the finishing work. The work was trivial and the time was fragmented. He returned to the office and sat down at his desk. He took out the book from Kanzaki Real Estate from the inner pocket of his suit.
I read through the house rental and sale information brochure I brought back.
On the day he attended Takenouchi Akihito's induction celebration, Takenouchi Akihito told him that if anyone needed money, just come to him. However, Takenouchi Akihito also said that as long as he had land, he could get a loan that was at least 1.5 times higher than the land value.
The key point is "having land".
According to this brochure, even in the countryside like Adachi City, buying a square meter of land starts at 1.2 million yen. At the current land price, buying a house next to the Arakawa River will cost tens of millions of yen, and the salary is
The family lives frugally and buys a small house.
Small house.
The smaller the better the house.
The smaller the better.
A somewhat absurd and nonsensical idea appeared in Shinichi Iwahashi's mind. He took out the business card he exchanged with Terahashi when he went to see the house today and called the number on it.
Terahashi responded quickly. After the call was connected, Iwahashi Shinichi introduced himself: "I am Iwahashi who just met you this morning."
"Iwahashi-san?" Terahashi's businesslike attitude became a little more cordial, "What do you want?" Most of this cordiality was due to Watanabe Manyumi's face.
"It's about the land."
Iwahashi Shinichi asked him, "I want to buy a piece of land, the smaller the better."
“The smaller the better?”
"Yes, one square meter or two square meters doesn't matter. In short, the smaller the better." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "The location doesn't matter either."
One square meter and two square meters, it is a Baoan Pavilion cigarette shop or something like that.
However, if you want to buy the buildings on the land together, you need to pay more than the unit price of one square meter of land. Of course, a building built on one square meter of land will not be worth much.
3.3 square meters (one square meter) is very small, but due to the private ownership of land in Japan, there are many situations where three square meters are passed down from ancestors.
However, nothing can be done with a square meter of land. He is young and cannot buy a square meter of land to open a takoyaki restaurant.
Terahashi was stunned for a moment after making such a strange request. After all, he worked in this field and was very sensitive to this matter. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately guessed that he probably wanted to buy such a piece of land to use as a mortgage loan.
The Plaza Agreement was signed in 1985. After brewing in 1986, the real bubble era arrived in 1987. Various policies to promote the rise in land prices and the real estate bubble were also promulgated roughly in this year.
Therefore, there are many people speculating in real estate, but after all, they have not reached the point of going crazy. Although banks have relaxed lending conditions, they have not yet reached the point of sending money out. If it were not for the guarantee of Takenouchi Akihito, Iwahashi Shinichi would not
Take this step.
"One or two square meters of land?"
Although Terahashi probably knew what he was thinking, he would definitely not be able to tell the customer's mind.
"Anyway, although it's a bit troublesome, I still ask you to help me look for it."
Shinichi Iwahashi showed no emotion and pulled Watanabe Wanyumi out as a banner, "Wanyumi-san appreciates your work efficiency very much. After thinking about it, I think it is right to trust the person she trusts, so I would like to shamelessly ask you.
"
Watanabe Manyumi is a high-quality client of Kanzaki Real Estate. Shinichi Iwahashi went to see the office with her. It seemed that the relationship between the two was more than just superiors and subordinates. Terahashi thought about it and agreed to try his best to find it for him.
"Then, I'll leave it to you." Iwahashi Shinichi finally said.
Carte blanche...that's weird.
After getting through with Terabashi, Shinichi Iwahashi took the time to visit several other large and medium-sized real estate agencies to find such a piece of land that suited his liking.
In the early days of starting a business, Shinichi Iwahashi did not want his equity to be too dispersed. Five million yen was not much, but it was still enough at the beginning. If he could find such a piece of land, buy it in the name of the company and then borrow money, it would be even more generous.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Iwahashi Shinichi will give the management of the discovered musicians to Watanabe Wan Yumi, because this will make him unwilling to let her hold shares in his production company.
…
After explaining this matter, the matter of registering a music production company was not left behind, and was carried out step by step.
After Shinichi Iwahashi decided to set up a music production company, he informed Nakamura Masato and Yoshida Miwa of the matter. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, every decision he makes will be most affected by his teammates.
After explaining the matter, Iwahashi Shinichi apologized to both of them, "Because of my willful idea, I may have to postpone my debut."
After the festival, Warner Pioneer and Polly Cartoon both offered their services. If there hadn't been such a fuss, they would have followed Watanabe Wanyumi to a new agency and signed a contract with one of the two companies. Now they would be a band with an owner.
However, because of his production company's plan, the matter of debut has added another step.
"Establish a music production company?" Miwa Yoshida didn't quite understand.
Masato Nakamura was more knowledgeable and acted more calmly at this time, "Miwa-chan, listen to what Shinichi-kun has to say."
"First of all, personally, I may be a little selfish, but I don't want to pretend to be generous and say, 'Because I have caused trouble, I am willing to quit the band and let the two of them do what they want to do.'
When that situation happened, we made all kinds of efforts.”
Iwahashi Shinichi said quite honestly, "So, I would like to ask you two to think carefully about the benefits of setting up a production company and putting the production rights in your own hands."
If the production rights are in the hands of others, the route must be formulated according to other people's ideas and requirements. However, if it is in one's own hands, then the lifeblood of one's music is also in one's own hands.
Miwa Yoshida seems to understand but not understand.
Iwahashi Shinichi raised a chestnut and said, "Do you still remember that there was a band called Princess Sprincess at the previous music festival?"
"Remember." is a band that is able to write lyrics and music by itself and is also very technically sound.
"They are currently signed to CBS and Sony. However, I learned that their record deal was originally with another company. They moved to Sony because they hated the packaging route that wanted to idolize them. Of course, Sony paid the liquidated damages.
.”
"Hmm..." Miwa Yoshida felt deeply when she mentioned her dissatisfaction with the idolization route. After all, the reason why they started a three-legged partnership was when an agent told her that she wasn't cute enough to become an idol.
"Shinichi-kun," she thought for a while and asked: "If we make our debut through this production company, we will have the final say in the music style and route from now on, is that what you mean?"
"That's okay to understand." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
Miwa Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, "That doesn't matter to me. It's better to wait a moment now than to fall into the hands of charlatans again."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "As expected, do you still remember that agent?"
"It's strange that a charlatan who belittled me would forget about it," Miwa Yoshida said.
Although she is a genius in music, after all, apart from the genius of music, she knows almost nothing about commercial things, so she only cares about the most important thing in her opinion, whether she can freely make music.
After getting the affirmative answer, it doesn't matter anymore.
In addition, her absolute trust in Shinichi Iwahashi is also one of the reasons why she is so relieved.
However, Masato Nakamura saw further.
Before joining the band, he was a recording studio musician. He was particularly sensitive to the word "production" and understood what a production company did. Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to set up a music production company, and what he saw was this man's ambition.
Regarding music, Shinichi Iwahashi has more long-term plans.
In itself, Masato Nakamura did not join the band in order to debut as a star, but like Shinichi Iwahashi, he took the initiative to approach Miwa Yoshida after seeing the possibilities in him. Therefore, he did not have such an urgent desire to debut.
.
In turn, he was very interested in joining a music production company and becoming a producer. Because after that, he saw more possibilities.
"When it comes to this, I have no objection either." Masato Nakamura also expressed his stance.
In the future, Shinichi Iwahashi’s band members will not only be his teammates and partners, but will also become veterans of the music production company.
…
In order to come up with a name for the music production company, Shinichi Iwahashi racked his brains.
Although Miwa-chan gave him a stamp of "Although he has no singing talent, he has some talent in naming", this DreamseTrue was chosen from the shortest names such as Phoenix Legend and Andyandrok, so this statement
The credibility is actually not that high.
A new company is like your own baby. How can you just give your baby a household registration and be left behind?
From the moment he decided to go it alone, Shinichi Iwahashi thought hard and finally decided on the name "genzo", which means "phenomenon".
This means that this music production company will produce a steady stream of phenomenal works.
The office location was chosen in Kawasaki City. The second floor of a slender and narrow five-story building is said to be one floor, but in fact it is less than ten square meters. It is such a small piece of land.
The service desk, reception room, and office are all crowded together. When you open the door, you can see everything at a glance. It is such a warm (narrow) and cozy (narrow) space.
But even this little bit of land was finally found after a lot of hard work.
Cheap, but not too remote.
With this done, the time has come for the carp streamers to crackle in the wind.
On this day, Shin Iwahashi moved his things into Kawasaki's office and was stepping on scaffolding to post the company's name from the inside to the outside of the window when he received a page from Terahashi.
