1017, with three words 'not short of money' written all over his face!
...
It snowed all day and all night, as if all the cold air accumulated throughout the winter was going to be spread to the world.
When I woke up the next day, the entire Yamazakura Garden was already covered with a thick layer of white snow.
After Nagayama Naoki got up, he stood on the verandah full of joy, looking at the white snow scene in the yard. He couldn't help but feel inspired by poetry, and even wanted to write a haiku or two from his mouth.
But in an instant, a white shadow flashed past, and the flawless snow surface in the yard was marked with two messy plum blossom prints... three, four...
"Woof woof woof!"
Taro shook his head and played happily in the yard, taking a bite of snow from time to time. Even though his nose was red, it could not stop him from playing. His excited look was no different from a child who likes to have snowball fights.
He also calls out to his master from time to time, as if inviting him to come down and play with him~
"...."
Nagayama Naoki looked at the messy yard that soon became full of mess, and the dog with snow water on his body, showing disgust,
"Yingtaro...you won't be allowed to enter the house until you wipe yourself clean later!"
"Woof woof woof?!"
Akina, who got up at this time, also walked out. Seeing her husband bullying the dog, she couldn't help but laugh:
"Naoki-san, you can't bully Taro! (That's my right!) You need to teach your children well and take good care of them!"
"Hey~~~" Nagayama Naoki put away the hand that was holding Gouzi's head, "Then Akina, come and help Youtarou dry his body!"
"...well..."
Akina glanced at the wet dog on her feet and immediately changed her tone,
"Naoki-san, I've thought about it. After all, Yutaro is the dog you raised first, so you should be responsible for it! Oops, I'm a little tired... My stomach is so heavy..."
After saying that, she changed from the energetic look to an overwhelmed pregnant woman, stroking her belly and walking towards the dining table.
"..."
This is obviously trying to make Naoki look like a kid!
Nagayama Naoki looked at the confused dog wagging its tail and couldn't help but shook his head:
"Ying Tailang, in this battle to win the inheritance, you lost from the beginning!"
The aroma coming from the kitchen made Naoki Nagayama feel his stomach growling.
Mrs. Nonaka Mari is indeed a well-paid talent. Her cooking skills are really impressive. In order to take care of Naoki Nagayama's taste, she actually learned how to make Chinese breakfast, which made Naoki Nagayama want to give her a salary increase.
While eating breakfast, Naoki Nagayama read the newspaper, and sure enough, a lot of news about Akina appeared.
"Akina, everyone is asking when will you come back~"
"Hahaha~" Ming Cai glanced at it, with a smile on her face, "Everyone has not forgotten me yet... But it shouldn't be possible this year..."
"Isn't it half a year from now?"
Akina rolled her eyes: "I still have to take care of the baby. Even if I want to make a comeback, I still have to lose weight..."
Nagayama Naoki looked up and down:
"Silly tape, Akina isn't that much fatter!"
"..." I really don't know whether I should be happy or what...
"What are Naoki-san going to do today?" Akina changed the subject and asked about Nagayama Naoki's arrangements.
"Today... I'm going to meet the woodland seller in the morning, but I'm going to see someone's performance in the afternoon."
The news that Naoki Nagayama is going to film "Tokyo Love Story" has spread in the circle, and casting and other matters are also being carried out in a leisurely manner, but the heroine Suzuki Honami has not yet been found~
On the other hand, the theme song "Sudden Love" has found a suitable singer. At this time, Oda Kazumasa has formed the "OFF COURSE" band and serves as the lead singer, and is already quite famous.
"A band called OFF COURSE is going to hold a concert this afternoon. I'm going to hear their performance in person and then talk to them..."
When Naoki Nagayama said that she wanted to attend a concert, Akina's eyes suddenly lit up.
During this time, I am raising my baby at home every day. Although I can design clothes as a pastime, I am still at home after all, and I feel a little bored!
"Naoki-san..." Akina approached her husband, "I want to hear it too..."
However, this kind of pitiful appearance can no longer move Nagayama Naoki's heart... Akina usually likes to play this kind of routine, which makes him turn a blind eye~
"But it's very cold today... Is it okay if I go out? Akina is pregnant. If she catches a cold..."
"It's totally fine!" Akina immediately shook her head, "I'll dress well! I promise I won't catch a cold!"
"...."
Naoki Nagayama was a little worried, but he couldn't help but Akina kept acting coquettishly...
"Then wear a down jacket, not a windbreaker! You can't just wear warm stockings on your legs either!"
"Then...isn't it like a barrel..."
As a fashionista and a big star, Akina must dress up well when going out.
"In case my image is photographed..."
"If you want to go out, you must wear this!" Nagayama Naoki did not give in at all on this point, "Otherwise... hehe hehe..."
"...."
This time, it’s Akina who’s confused~
.......
In the morning, Nagayama Naoki didn't go to the tree friends. Anyway, there was nothing there that he needed to take care of.
The filming of "Tokyo Love Story" will not begin until Honami Suzuki is found. Before that, a team will help handle all the preparations.
Oh, there is also a script for "Tiger of Ginza". He will also need to review it after the first draft is completed~
He came to Ginza today, and did not go to the Shuyou Capital building. Instead, he came to Samadhiju, which he had not been to for a long time.
"Naoki-san!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She had received the call long ago. Chinatsu Sakakibara, who was waiting in advance, bowed when she saw Naoki Nagayama,
"I haven't seen you for a long time~"
"Chinatsu-san, there's no need to be so formal." Nagayama Naoki responded with a smile, "I'm really busy this year, and I haven't come to drink tea for a long time~"
This samadhi house in Ginza was originally used for recreation, but unexpectedly it has become almost a place to meet other people.
It's a bit like a private club, but it's also open to the public.
The store manager, Katsuo Yasui, was greeting customers at the counter. When he saw Naoki Nagayama, he could only bow slightly in greeting.
"Naoki-san, I have prepared Gyokuro tea, and your usual tea room is also ready..." Chinatsu Sakakibara walked upstairs with Naoki Nagayama.
Along the way, Nagayama Naoki looked at the decoration and furnishings of Samadhi House. After several years, it seemed that it had been soaked in the fragrance of tea and had a sense of age.
This cafe has lost the freshness it had when it was first established. It has become calm and restrained, neither impatient nor impatient.
Nowadays, the middle-aged people in Ginza like to come here when discussing business or chatting... On the one hand, it is convenient, and on the other hand, it is also because the environment and service here are very good.
"Chinatsu-san, are you busy?"
Nagayama Naoki saw that there were many guests on the first and second floors. The waiter Matsumura Akuki hurried past with small steps to add tea and water to the guests, so he asked Sakakihara Chinatsu.
"It's really a bit busy in the winter..." Chinatsu Sakakibara said, "Recently, the store manager and I have been discussing to recruit one more store clerk."
"Well, you should indeed." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Samadhiju should still focus on service..."
After a pause, he said:
"If you don't make enough money, you can increase the price!"
".......this......"
Although Nagayama Naoki said at the beginning that Samadhiju does not aim at making a profit, the store managers and deputy store managers are both very decent people. While providing good service, they still want to make more money for Nagayama Naoki.
"If we raise the price, we will lose many customers..."
"It doesn't matter!" Nagayama Naoki comforted, "Inflation will be very serious in the next few years, and the price of everything will increase, and we are no exception...Besides, it's okay to have fewer customers. We have to maintain a high profile."
"..."
Although Chinatsu Sakakihara didn't understand, she already understood that Naoki Nagayama hoped that the price of Samadhi Residence would be high and the style of Ginza would be maintained.
It’s the feeling of “you can’t afford the tea here”~
The top-floor tearoom, which has always been reserved for Naoki Nagayama, has bright and clean windows and is full of antique charm. The heating inside is turned on just right, making people feel very comfortable as soon as they enter.
"Naoki-san, I'm going to get some tea..."
"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Minister Wonta Nakai will come later, just bring him to the private room~"
"Hi!"
........
After resting for a while in the tea room and drinking a few sips of tea, Wonta Nakai came over as expected, accompanied by a simple middle-aged man who was curiously observing Samadhiju.
"Naoki-san, this is the president of the Forest Association Shizuoka District Association, Yamaoka Yuya..."
"First time we meet, I am Yamaoka Yuya~"
Nagayama Naoki also stood up and bowed.
"First meeting, I am Naoki Nagayama..."
After both of them sat down and made hot tea, Yamaoka Yuya sighed:
"Originally, Director Nakai said that the person who wanted to buy the forest rights was Naoki Nagayama. I thought he had the same name, but I didn't expect that he was really a famous person!"
Yamaoka Yuya looked completely surprised, as if he had just heard the news for the first time.
"Hahaha, it's really me..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "There are many people named Nagayama Naoki..."
"Naoki has always been a commonly used name..." Yamaoka Yuya said, "But now when talking about Naoki of the Nagayama family, it must be Naoki-san..."
"Yamaoka is also a rare surname..."
The two exchanged greetings, but they didn't know each other very well anyway, so they didn't say much.
Yamaoka Yuya asked directly:
"Zhi Shusang, why do you want to buy forest rights?"
"I'm just more interested in long-term assets..." Naoki Nagayama said, "Maintaining and increasing value..."
"But the current lumber price is falling!" Yamaoka Yuya continued to ask, and then seemed to feel that he was a little rude, "Private Marseille, I didn't want to question Naoki-san."
"It's just that as the person in charge of the forest union, I have some doubts about the future development of the forest land... After all, we are a union of a group of small forest owners. We can only make certain profits by relying on joint operations and large-scale production..."
He was worried that after Naoki Nagayama bought the forest rights, he would plant other trees, or simply do it for the sake of the scenery... In this way, the forest owners who were originally connected to the city would become somewhat passive.
"Yamaoka-san, please rest assured... I will also join the forest group after purchasing the forest rights, and the previous management methods will not change..."
Naoki Nagayama dispelled his concerns,
"I just want to allocate assets...I also bought a tea garden in Shizuoka...for the exclusive use of this Samadhiju!"
"That's it, that's good~"
Yamaoka Yuya breathed a sigh of relief,
"So Zhi Shusang, how much area do you want to buy?"
"Yamaoka-san...if the forest owners in your association want to sell it, I will take whatever amount you have!"
When they contacted Wonta Nakai before, the two of them had estimated that the forest land owned by the Shizuoka Forest Association was not very large, and there would be no problem even if they bought it all.
The money spent is not even one-tenth of the funds on hand.
"..."
Yamaoka Yuya looked at Nagayama Naoki in surprise, and saw only the three words "not short of money" on that handsome face!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, the entertainment industry is the most profitable place!
"Zhi Shusang, if that's the case, I'll communicate with the forest owners when I get back..."
Yamaoka Yuya is actually relieved, because the current timber market is not good, and many forest owners are almost unable to make ends meet.
"Thank you very much. All future issues can be discussed directly with Yuan Taisang!"
Naoki Nagayama pointed at Wonta Nakai next to him and said,
"He can fully represent me... We can negotiate the price, but I need to complete the transaction procedures as soon as possible... I mean all the procedures. I don't want anyone else to buy the forest rights."
Looking for trouble..."
Some of the neon forest owners have been passed down from generation to generation. If the property owner wants to sell it, it may cause opposition from some in the clan...
"Hey, of course I understand! I will communicate with Director Nakai carefully!"
Yamaoka Yuya quickly promised.
Nakai Wonta also raised the tea cup in his hand to signal.
After the general direction was determined, the next step was naturally to talk about some conditions in the Shizuoka forest, specialty wood, hotels in the mountains, and even the rent paid by the power company when setting up wires, etc.
If you own a large piece of forest land, you can have a considerable and stable income simply by relying on the rent from the power company~
........
Even though it's snowing, the fun atmosphere in Tokyo doesn't get colder.
Young people who are energetic and have no pressure in life are all holding back their energy and want to vent their excitement. This has led to countless small bands in Tokyo that perform concerts every day.
In a live house in Nerima, several young people were preparing to take the stage.
As the lead singer, Oda Kazuzu was tuning the guitar and said to his companions:
"I heard that a music producer is asking about us...Mina-san, if you have to perform well today, there might be a producer watching down there!"
"Is it possible to become famous just by being spotted by a producer?!"
They are already a somewhat famous band, but they are still in a small group. They haven't signed a contract with a big company yet, and they haven't released a record album yet~
"Boss, who is this time?"
"I don't know..." Oda Kazumasa shook his head, "The source only heard that it is a famous company..."
"Where's the producer?"
"I don't know..."
"Ah...these producers really won't reveal their ideas before they are confirmed..."
After a music producer discovers a good talent, he will naturally not publicize it before signing a contract. Otherwise, what if competitors hear about it and poach him?!
Or the band itself heard about it, and then it would be difficult to lower the price when negotiating the signing bonus~
Oda Kazumasa and his band OFF COURSE are happily discussing their future after being signed, and everyone is looking forward to the day when they become famous singers!
"Mina-san, stop thinking!"
As the lead singer, Kazumasa Oda suppressed everyone's thoughts,
"Anyway, I have to show my best today! Let the producers take a good look!"
