"So, Shinichi-san took over this band and became their manager?" In a cafe near the livehouse where the singer was singing, Miwa Yoshida bit her straw and asked a little absent-mindedly.
"Let's give it a try first, it's considered a 'probation period' now." Shinichi Iwahashi replied, since he is still the captain of Dreams e True, it is necessary to report this matter to his partner.
"Just in time," he said, "you will be going on tour soon, and I can find something else to do for myself. Otherwise, no one in the club will remember who I am in half a year."
"Oh." Yoshida Miwa took a sip of lemon juice, probably because she was sour, and frowned.
"Anyway, I hope that when I come back in six months, Shen Yisang's heart will not be stolen by the new band." She still expressed her inner worries.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard this and said to her: "I thought I was the only one who could say this. You went to see the big scene and forgot about me as a crappy agent."
"If Shen Yi-san is a bad agent, then I will be a country girl."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "At least until I can enjoy a 9,500 yen portion of shark fin soup, I will put you first."
Miwa Yoshida also laughed, "If you say that, I feel relieved."
The origin of the shark fin soup stems from a performance at a live house. The person in charge ordered a late-night snack at a Chinese restaurant in Xinqiao to treat everyone at the performance. In the accompanying brochure with the store's dishes, as a signboard
It's shark fin soup for 9,500 yen a portion.
"Nine thousand five hundred yen a piece."
Yoshida Miwa was obsessed with this number, and she kept talking about it until the end of their performance and on their way back.
"Although it's okay to live an ordinary life, but when I think about the fact that there are so many good things in this world that I can't enjoy to the fullest, my mood suddenly becomes difficult to calm down." She said this to Shinichi Iwahashi as if she was expressing her feelings.
"If I can sign with a record company one day, I will treat you to a meal." Iwahashi Shinichi promised her.
But Miwa Yoshida shook her head, "No."
"Even if you really want to eat, you have to wait until I can make a lot of money." She said to him a little cunningly.
Listen, it sounds like a rich woman wants to support a pretty boy.
"Besides," she said plausibly, "even if it's something like shark's fin soup, if you save a little and eat it once, it's not really something you can't afford. But if you eat like that once, you'll be hungry for a long time.
For a simple meal of 150 yen, I still think about the shark fin soup. Just thinking about that kind of thing makes me shed tears in misery."
"That is to say," Shinichi Iwahashi understood, "don't do anything beyond your capabilities, right?"
"Bingo," Miwa Yoshida nodded, "So, it won't work if you don't work hard."
From this point of view, the two of them are quite sober, although from the outside, they may seem a bit petty. Especially after getting along for a long time, knowing that Yoshida Miwa doesn't even use a credit card, Iwahashi Shinichi looks at her in a different light.
Credit cards first appeared in RB in 1960. As of early 1986, over the years, the number of credit cards issued by various institutions has reached nearly 90 million, and there are more than a dozen credit cards in hand, which are used to pay off debts.
Slaves abound. Young men who are well-dressed and drive sports cars may be carrying millions of yen in debt.
In the era we live in now, due to the rapid economic growth, various information magazines and TV programs that teach people to consume are increasingly emerging.
What gifts to give for Christmas, which restaurant to go to on a date, what kind of investment is promising if you don’t know how to play golf, and which stock will rise sharply if you buy it.
It would be a pity not to travel anywhere. What kind of bag should a girl have, what kind of watch should a boy have, what kind of apartment should a romantic person live in, how should clothes be matched, and what kind of 9,500 yen should I have to try?
What a pity about the shark fin soup.
Every piece of information shines with allure.
If you pursue this information, your mind will become impetuous. If others have it but you don’t, that would be such a pity and unwillingness.
That's when credit card companies and financial companies that offer unsecured loans stepped in.
Iwahashi Shinichi had worked in a nightclub and knew the origins of some of the escort girls.
At first, I borrowed a credit card. After I couldn't pay back the debt, I borrowed loan sharks from financial companies. Until the worst situation happened, I was harassed and threatened by debt collection companies every day because I couldn't pay back the money. Finally, I became a companion.
The wine lady makes quick money.
As long as I become a waitress, even if I have the opportunity to pay off the money in the future, I will not be able to adapt to the ordinary work mode.
How should I put it? The histories are surprisingly similar.
In his previous life, the country was full of traps for excessive consumption, and people were forced to commit suicide, commit crimes, and be sold everywhere.
What is even more "miserable" than today's rb young people is that in that era, network information was extremely developed, and the consumer information that the public was exposed to was more comprehensive and complex. Not only that, there were also a lot of Mongolians who poured poisonous chicken soup with added flavor.
Shinichi Iwahashi doesn’t know everything about rb, although he knows very little about it.
In the era he lived in in his previous life, people often compared the current era with the rb bubble era.
Last year, about three months after traveling back in time, he saw the news on TV that RB signed the Plaza Accord with its American father and European uncles. Then the Japanese yen began to appreciate, and it became higher and higher day by day.
The yen is worth one, which is very suitable for various overseas travels. Guides on where to write "visit here" and where to buy are also published.
In the future, when people in Japan complain about Chinese tourists who travel thousands of miles to do shopping, I hope they will not forget that they spit and jumped in queues abroad and swept up the Champs Elysees and Fifth Avenue.
Shinichi Iwahashi is not an ignorant time traveler, so he also knows one thing, that is, the reason for the bubble era of rb was the signing of the Plaza Accord.
Although I don’t know much about the specific situation, the general situation in the country at that time was that stocks would go up if you bought them. Housing prices were so high that people all over the country wanted to be house slaves. Then, with a bang, the bubble burst, and people who went bankrupt and jumped from buildings were like dumplings.
.
When you are in a foreign country, you still have the advantage of being a prophet, even though you only know a rough outline.
But here’s the problem, knowing that house prices will soar, stocks will make huge profits, and you can make a fortune as long as you can get out of the bubble before it bursts, what should you do to buy it?
No matter what dreams he has in his mind, if he thinks of the key link, the old man Fukuzawa Yukichi will single it out and point at him and say, "Stop dreaming! Victory and failure belong to the elites of Keio who enshrine my statue."
!”
I bother!
Okay, let him walk steadily first and then talk about it now.
Otherwise it is said that the first step of starting a business is the most difficult, and it is easy to use a big snowball to roll a bigger snowball. Even if he is an agent now, with a low starting point, he can only hang out in the club now.
Singing a song and becoming a blockbuster, first of all, it won't work in this era, and secondly, the national conditions are different.
Even in the Internet era of later generations, because RB's TV station is controlled by established consortiums, in order to resist the impact of the Internet, the frequency of Internet celebrities participating in TV programs must be restricted.
At this time, Yoshida Miwa spoke again, "By the way, Shinichi-san. I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Next Saturday, Busch Minsang's office will hold a pep party for him before his tour."
