Iwahashi Shinichi came to his senses, remembered Watanabe Wanyumi next to him, and turned his head. She looked stunned, as if she was shocked, as if she was frightened, and stared at the place where the incident occurred in front of her.
The world is spinning.
The neon lights were dazzling and stung the eyes. The exclamations, screams, and noises from the scene kept pouring into the ears. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether one was in reality or if everything was just an illusion.
Suddenly, the neon lights that stung her eyes disappeared. She was pulled back from the hallucination by a hand.
Watanabe Manyumi finally got a chance to breathe and blinked.
"Are you okay? Wanyumi-san." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her carefully.
Watanabe Manyumi stared at his concerned face for a while. Shinichi Iwahashi did not hide or ask, he looked at her silently, waiting. She had the illusion for a moment that it was him who stepped forward to build a bridge between reality and illusion.
He built a wall to block the things that hurt his ears and ears.
Watanabe Wan Yumi's eyes slowly moved from his face to his shoulder in front of her. After realizing it, Iwahashi Shinichi's left hand was placed on her arm.
...like dancing.
Such a nonsensical and inappropriate idea suddenly appeared in Watanabe Wan Yumi's mind.
She shook her head gently, "It's okay."
On a late winter night, the night sky is unfathomable. The blue-grey full moon exudes a hint of ominousness. Of course, this ominous association is actually my own imagination.
Police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene, cordoned off and dispersed the onlookers. Whether it was the nouveau riche standing on the roof of the car to throw money, or the frustrated falling from the rooftop, there was never a shortage of onlookers.
Iwahashi Shinichi sat in the car and called Takenouchi Akihito to cancel the meeting tonight.
I witnessed an unfortunate incident with my own eyes, and, looking at today's day, it is very likely that this person lost all his money in the stock market and was desperate.
A huge gamble that puts your wealth and life on the line will not only result in you losing until you have no way back, you will lose all your money, you will go bankrupt, you will give up your identity and become a vagabond to avoid debt. You will also face a huge gap from heaven to hell, and you will never be able to turn around again in this life.
, the reality of losing hope.
I would say otherwise without seeing it with my own eyes, but after seeing the person who died for this Black Friday, I can no longer meet Takeuchi Akihito as if nothing happened, and listen to what he said about his boss and colleagues, how he was glad that he left early, and how he admired Iwahashi.
Shen Yi has a good vision.
He used the car phone to contact Takenouchi Akihito. Watanabe Wan Yumi was quiet, looking at his profile in front of him. After finishing the call, Iwahashi Shinichi turned to talk to her, "That's it..." his tone paused.
, "What is Wan Yumi-san thinking?"
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't ask further questions and discussed with her, "Where to go next?"
"Let's take you home." He asked and answered himself.
Watanabe Manyumi acquiesced. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "The address hasn't changed yet, right? Didn't I say before that people from the real estate company lobbied you to take action." He may not be trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"How can you sell a house for your own use?" Watanabe Manyumi replied dryly, obviously not in the right state.
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi said no more.
After receiving the address of Watanabe Mayumi's house, Mijima Iijima continued to return to the Michi state of "don't listen, don't see, don't tell" and drove her car silently.
On this side, they were coming out of Roppongi, and on the other side, the road into Roppongi was busy with traffic.
It wasn't until they drove out of Roppongi that Watanabe Manyumi completely woke up and regained her composure. She suddenly mentioned, "Just now, I remembered the first time I danced with you."
"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi was unexpected.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't look at his face. Listening to his tone, she couldn't help but smile, "Shinichi-kun is very good at dancing."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and said deliberately: "It is true that people often praise me like this."
"How dare you say that." Watanabe Mayumi laughed at him. But no matter what, she still regained her energy and was able to talk and laugh.
The stock market crashed, and real estate was facing a crisis. On this day, across Japan, I don’t know how many people went crazy, how many people chose to run away from home, and how many people wanted to stand on the rooftops of buildings and tram platforms.
What I witnessed today is the beginning of an era when the bubble will burst and the living will be buried as dead.
"Practitioners in the entertainment industry must take responsibility for the audience." Watanabe Wan Yumi suddenly said this.
Just as Iwahashi Shinichi was pondering the meaning of her words, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled first, "...it sounds a bit hypocritical and self-righteous."
"That's not true." Iwahashi Shinichi denied.
"The first thing, of course, is to find a way to make money, to make money from the audience." Watanabe Manyumi said, "but to use something to exchange money from the audience is another matter."
"For example?"
"When the economy is in turmoil, people's hearts are unsettled. As practitioners in the entertainment industry, we should consider how to deal with and relieve this uneasiness. Whether it is healing the public or encouraging the public, it is just a matter of giving the public a place to settle their uneasiness.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a place or a place where the public can feel resonance in the work... there’s a lot to be done.”
And these are also opportunities that need to be taken seriously. Next, there are many things to do that are waiting to show off one's skills. Precisely because there is so much that can be done, one must be even more responsible to the audience.
As Watanabe Wan Yumi spoke, ideas began to appear in her mind.
But while saying this, she was still remembering to attend the reception tonight. On the way there, Shinichi Iwahashi said casually, "If necessary, we will also consider financing."
Both men are ambitious.
But before taking action, there is still room for unity and mutual understanding.
Iwahashi Shinichi said casually, "Now, if you go to a warehouse disco for 1,500 yen for a night, you might still be able to make some money."
The worse the so-called economy is, the more cheap entertainment becomes popular.
"You're not planning to open a disco, are you?" Watanabe Wan Yumi glanced at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "For us, it's not cost-effective to open a disco right now. If we really want to say it, we might as well make disco music. Of course, right now we have to count on the band."
Watanabe Manyumi was speechless for a moment because of his escapist words. She paused and said, "Anyway, let's deal with the immediate situation first."
"Understood." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "I'm biting off more than I can chew."
Watanabe Manyumi's words to him made him laugh. Then he thought that the two of them had the same mind on business matters and coincided with each other. They looked at things from a similar perspective and had a common goal.
She finally relaxed completely, and her mood slowly recovered throughout the night.
The car stopped in front of the apartment where Watanabe Mayumi lived.
Iwahashi Shin handed her bag over and said, "Have a good rest."
Watanabe Wanyumi raised her eyelids, and Iwahashi Shinichi's arm was right in front of her. She nodded and whispered: "Be careful on the road."
After sending Watanabe Manyumi off, Iwahashi Shinichi was not in the mood to wander around, so he asked Iijima Mitochi to send him home. It was probably because the car was quiet and boring, so he joked casually, "What I just told you doesn't count."
It's about how when he first arrived in Roppongi, Iwahashi Shinichi arranged for Iijima Mitochi to send Watanabe Manyumi home after her visit, and he took a taxi back.
Mijima Iijima responded calmly, "The plan cannot change as soon as possible."
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed twice after hearing this. He felt even more bored and stopped talking. When he was about to get home, the pager in his pocket suddenly rang.
Take it out and see, it's Akina Nakamori.
After returning home, Shinichi Iwahashi checked his phone messages and found a call from Akina Nakamori. He called and paged her, but he didn't know what important matter it was. Shinichi Iwahashi felt unsure and hurriedly called her back.
As a result, after the phone call was made, the important thing Nakamori Akina was concerned about was
"Shenyi, have you bought stocks?"
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laughed when he heard her fiery and rash question.
…
Saturday and Sunday were uneventful. However, on the next Monday, early in the morning, the morning news broke the news of an office worker committing suicide by jumping off the track, causing the tram to stop.
A small corner of Tokyo is in chaos and cannot affect other people's actions.
The route was running as usual. As soon as the carriage door opened, the commuters walked out expressionlessly and were pushed across the zebra crossing by the crowd.
Life must be taken care of. Ordinary people have their flesh cut off and bled, and their knocked-out teeth have to be swallowed.
A weekend passed, and last week's "Black Friday" seemed to have been swept into the trash. Then I walked into the company and sat in the office, everyone as if nothing had happened. During the lunch break, no one mentioned the stock, as if it had never existed.
Nikkei" kind of thing.
Public grief is allowed only one night on Friday.
On Monday, the sales list of the previous issue was sent to GENZO's office and sent to Shinichi Iwahashi's desk.
After the planned album had an initial sales figure of 580,000 in the first week of the year, it sold nearly 200,000 copies in the last statistical period, and its popularity remains unabated.
Looking at this momentum, maybe by the end of January, it will hit one million. If it really sells more than one million copies, it will be the first million-dollar album this year.
On the other hand, Bo LAN's single sales have steadily declined. During this period, they sold about 60,000 more copies, and their cumulative sales reached 270,000, continuing to refresh their single sales record. Can a new band have success?
Such a single is enough for them to stay in public memory for a while, and they will not forget it until the next work is released.
The two major achievements achieved at the beginning of the year are expected to continue to rise, and they have obtained a new sales list. Everyone at GENZO is in high spirits and is just waiting to participate in the celebration this Friday.
The celebration party scheduled by the company will be held at the Prince Hotel in Akasaka. Everyone from debuted and undebuted singers to staff will participate. Not only will there be delicious food and drinks, but a lottery game will also be prepared. The big winner of the night is one
In addition to the one million yen prize, there are also prizes of various denominations, with the lowest being 20,000 yen, and there is no empty prize.
When the venue and program arrangements for the celebration were announced, the entire GENZO was filled with joy.
From top to bottom of GENZO, no one will doubt that this company has a bright future.
In the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi finished his upcoming meeting and communicated with the team temporarily formed to prepare for Keiko Utoku's debut, and once again discussed her debut plan.
Utoku Keiko's management contract is with Star Agency, and if she wants to make her debut, she needs to be approved by that agency. However, once the plan is finalized, before she can discuss her official debut, she must first negotiate for full cooperation with Star Agency.
He made a planned debut plan and sent a copy to Watanabe Wan Yumi. Since the two parties didn’t have time to meet, they discussed it on the phone and agreed that Watanabe Wan Yumi would contact the Star Agency. As long as the other party was interested,
, to discuss cooperation.
Monday, full and busy.
It was halfway through the first month of the year, and I had been to almost all the receptions I was going to attend, and the atmosphere related to the New Year had finally dissipated. It was rare that there was no socializing this evening, and Iwahashi Shinichi was not planning to go out to have fun, and was just waiting to get home from get off work.
As a result, before leaving get off work, there was another call from Akina Nakamori.
…
Mondays for office workers are busy, but for artists, one day is not always busy and the other is free.
On this day that was originally going to be winding up, Akina Nakamori was surprisingly free. She got up in the morning, listened to the morning news, prepared breakfast, and ate it slowly by herself.
In the morning news, there was an urgent break in the news that someone committed suicide by jumping off the rails and causing the train to stop. Akina Nakamori watched the news and couldn't help but sigh.
She was in a daze and knew nothing about investment and financial management, so she never got involved in stock or real estate investment. The only building built for her family was put up for sale at the end of last year.
Akina Nakamori is a person who doesn't bother to listen to things that don't interest her. Now, at the age of twenty-five, after practicing in the entertainment industry for so many years, after understanding the ways of the world, she won't be like when she was a child, who was not interested.
Leave immediately and sit down and listen.
Despite this, it goes in one ear and out the other, and even though many friends with good connections in the industry have participated in the investment, she remains indifferent.
It seems that, to her, money only has meaning when she is shopping around.
Last Friday, the Nikkei Index plummeted...
Although Akina Nakamori is not involved and does not care about the stock market. But even if she does not care, someone once told her that "the Nikkei index will never fall, and real estate will always rise."
Even if you don't care, you can hear it from other people's mouths.
On Friday night, when everyone knew about the sharp drop in the Nikkei Index, Akina Nakamori saw others dejected, and suddenly thought of Shinichi Iwahashi, worried about whether he had invested in stocks.
After finishing worrying about Iwahashi Shinichi, he thought of his parents and brothers and sisters again.
Nakamori Akina knows that her mother, Chieko, owns NTT stocks. But Chieko is only interested in participating, so Nakamori Akina is confident and is not so worried.
I don't even know what happened to my father, brothers and sisters, and my sister Mingsui.
Only Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina didn't know his financial situation, so they could only call him while worrying.
If you buy a lot...
If he has trouble making money, lend him your own money.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi's character probably wouldn't accept it.
Nakamori Akina rehearsed it in her mind, but in the end, not only was it useless, but when she asked the words, she laughed out loud.
