There are many high-rise buildings in Ginza, but one of the office buildings has appeared very frequently in discussions in the financial world this year - Shuyou Capital.
Generally speaking, although the entertainment world and the financial world are both vanity fairs, they are not very related fields on the surface. After all, everyone does not want the inside story of private transactions to be exposed in the sun. On the surface, they all make a certain decision.
The attitude is that we are not familiar with each other.
Shuyou Capital is different. As an investment company founded by Naoki Nagayama, a celebrity in the entertainment industry, it was unknown at the beginning. Everyone who heard about it thought it was just a leather company to manage his assets.
But starting last year, this company seemed to have suddenly taken some magic medicine, and keenly seized two important opportunities. One was the merger of Shogun Fujitsu at the beginning of the year, and the other was the "Plaza Accord" at the end of the year, which allowed its companies to
Assets doubled instantly...
No, it has even increased more than ten times, becoming an investment institution with a capital of 100 billion, and it is still rising... Their ever-increasing investment behavior is noticed by the entire industry.
This is just an estimate by professionals in the industry. After all, Shuyou Capital is not a listed company and does not need to release financial reports to the outside world.
It is impossible for them to know that Naoki Nagayama still has a capital reserve of up to 500 million U.S. dollars in the U.S. capital market, and what he has in Neon is only about half of his assets.
At the beginning of this year, Shuyou Capital began to recruit new people, which suddenly stirred up the situation in Ginza.
Many outstanding graduates from top universities such as Tokyo University, Hitotsubashi, and Waseda choose to go to Shuyou Capital, which puts pressure on people from other financial institutions... Excellent talents are competitive in the financial investment industry
Guaranteed!
And this afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to his company again...
"Naoki-san!"
Shuuka Kanai at the front desk is now the team leader of the administrative department, leading two newly recruited administrative staff to ensure the company's logistics and daily schedule.
"Zhou Xiang-chan, good lunch~"
Nagayama Naoki smiled and said hello, and then looked at the company that was far more lively than before, feeling a little emotional,
"I haven't been here for a few days, and the company has become a lot more lively!"
"All the employees I interviewed before are on duty..."
It's already April, and many graduated college students have already started working. With this recruitment, Shuyou Capital has jumped from a small company with a dozen people to a company with forty or fifty people. The original one-story office building has more than 100 employees.
It's somewhat crowded.
"Maybe you can consider renting another floor..."
As for buying an office building directly...eh? Maybe you can bring it up. Anyway, office buildings in Ginza are not afraid of depreciation.
With this thought in his mind, Nagayama Naoki came to his office and took a look at the operating reports during his absence.
At this time, Nakai Wonta walked in...
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?"
Mrs. Nakai Won had a drink with Naoki Nagayama just the day before, chatting about the trip to Hong Kong, and even received a gift from Naoki Nagayama.
"Come and see the company..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Let's see if it can be used as a shooting scene for "Tiger of Ginza"..."
"As a set?"
Wonta Nakai was a little surprised. He naturally knew about "Tiger of Ginza" and it was one of Shuyou's key projects this year.
"Naoki-san is planning to film here?"
"Yes, part of the company's drama..."
Nagayama Naoki looked around at his high-end office. It was simple and grand in style, and the bustling Ginza could be directly seen through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Standing in the office and looking out, it feels like you are towering over the entire Ginza...
"Yuan Taisang can also appear on the scene as an extra..."
"Hahaha~" Nakai Wonta laughed, "Me? Can I actually make a movie?"
"Yes...everyone else in Shuyou Capital can get a red envelope for group performances..." Naoki Nagayama said, "And you don't actually have to do anything, you just follow your usual work.
....”
"Haha~ I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to be an actor..." Wonta Nakai laughed~
If Naoki Nagayama wasn't the president of Shuyou Capital, there's no way Wonta Nakai would have agreed... What about the red envelope for extras? Do they still lack this little money?
As long as employees join Shuyou Capital, they can earn hundreds of dollars in profits every minute!
These strange thoughts flashed through Wonta Nakai's mind, but he still knew who was in charge of the company, and as a businessman, he instinctively began to think about whether there was any benefit to the company...
"By the way, Naoki-san, if it's in the movie, do you want to directly reveal our company's logo?"
Placing advertisements in big movies is what many companies want to do!
Previously, Naoki Nagayama's own films did not receive advertising sponsorship, but this film is a commercial film produced by Shuyu Pictures...
"Ha~ Yuan Taisang wants to advertise?"
"Yes...it will cost a lot of money to advertise elsewhere...but Zhishu-san, Shuyou Capital is your company! Haha~"
"Well..."
Nagayama Naoki did not disagree. This period is the expansion period of Shuyou Capital. Being exposed in the movie will be of great benefit to the expansion of fame. It is obviously a win-win situation.
"Okay, I will make a slight modification and let the company founded by the hero of "Ginza Tiger" be called Shuyou Capital..."
With the script in hand, you can write whatever you want!
Anyway, in the end, the hero is deceived and the company falls into other hands, too!
"That's okay... When will Naoki-san be filming, we will definitely cooperate with the filming and let the employees dress up properly!"
"Haha, the shooting will start in May. If I can shoot Shuyou Capital, it will probably take June..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No problem!"
The two laughed and chatted about the movie for a while, and then talked about the current investment situation.
The main fund of Shuyou Capital is Naoki Nagayama’s private funds, and the investment direction is planned by Naoki Nagayama, adhering to long-termism.
Perhaps there are not as many transactions as Shuyou Capital's other accounts, and the short-term rate of return is not as high, but it is very stable.
Naoki Nagayama didn't put too much thought into investment transactions. He knew that as long as he didn't miss the bursting of the bubble around 1989 and the future Internet trend, his money would definitely expand to a level he couldn't even imagine.
Wonta Nakai and Naoki Nagayama reported other real estate investments...
"Nowadays, there are many commercial properties under the name of Shuyou Real Estate, and they are found in every city..." Wonta Nakai said, "Do we really rely on rent?"
"Hmm..." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Other operations are too annoying..."
He also knows that he can buy land to build shopping malls, parks, complexes, tree friends' squares, etc. But those still need to set up a construction company and a real estate company... The various operations are really complicated
Too much trouble...
People can create a wealthy family just by relying on shops in Hong Kong. This kind of income with almost no risk is what Naoki Nagayama pursues.
"So... Naoki-san..."
Since we talked about real estate, Wonta Nakai talked about another thing,
“Do you want to buy an island?”
“Buy an island?”
Nagayama Naoki unexpectedly said,
"Is this the island I'm thinking of?"
"Well..." Nakai Wonta nodded, "In addition to the four big islands, Neon has countless small islands... Some are inhabited, and some are uninhabited islands..."
"These islands can be purchased, but they are more difficult to develop..."
Even inhabited islands can actually be bought, but you can't kick out the residents. You need to buy their houses, compensate them, etc...
"Buy an island...for fun?"
Nagayama Naoki's interest was aroused. The island was completely under his control. He could build whatever he wanted. Once the door was closed, it was his own private kingdom...
"Okay, then buy one!"
Nagayama Naoki said with a smile,
"I want to build a zoo on the island!"
"..."
Nakai Wonta's smiling face suddenly froze...
I won’t even say anything if you build a castle. What the hell is buying an uninhabited island and building a zoo?
.......
In the afternoon, Nagayama Naoki came to the shooting base again.
The crew is ready and all personnel are ready...
The filming of "Tokyo Love Story" has almost entered the final stage. Rika Akana, who was heartbroken by Nagao Kanji, has decided to go to the United States and chose to leave without saying goodbye.
Nagao Kanji kept searching and finally thought of his hometown Ehime Prefecture. On the pillar of his campus, he saw the name of Akana Rika next to his own name.
Before this scene, a one-man show needs to be filmed on the train...the scene where Akana Rika sheds tears while sitting on the train...
The executive director of the crew, Souo Matsuo, had already contacted the subway company and rented a carriage. After everyone got on the train, the set was set up...
"Honami-chan, are you ready?"
This scene was quite troublesome to shoot, and Nagayama Naoki had to be more cautious, because this time he really shed tears, and it was shot with a face-off... It will be very different if you cry again after crying once.
Suzuki Honami took a deep breath and nodded:
"Hi!"
"Well... don't worry about taking your time, just follow your own pace."
Naoki Nagayama warned, then gestured to the camera and whispered,
"Action!"
Amidst the slight shaking of the carriage, Suzuki Honami, who was sitting sideways against the window, looked at the photo in her hand and fell into silence...
Slowly, memories came to mind, scenes of getting along with Nagao Kanji...
In the end, I couldn't help it, and the tears couldn't help but flow from my eyes...
The crying scenes of beautiful heroines on the screen are usually like those in Qiong Yao's plays, where big tears fall from the eyes and hit the ground, blooming into a small water splash... And the crying protagonist himself,
But she didn’t even put on makeup.
The kind that is jokingly called "fairy crying" actually relies on acting skills. There are very few people who really look good when they cry!
What you need to do first to hold your breath and let tears gather in your eyes, close your eyelids at the moment of tears, and at the same time apply a slight downward force on your face... has become a secret in the entertainment industry!
But today, Naoki Nagayama asked Honami Suzuki to cry in the most realistic way, the kind of tearful crying, in order to make people feel the sadness of the character itself.
The afternoon sunlight shone through the window of the carriage, giving the entire carriage a warm atmosphere. But in this environment, Akana Rika shed tears looking at a photo...
But he seemed to be worried about the people next to him and didn't dare to cry loudly...
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was fine, but I was left alone and sad.
This sense of detachment allows the audience to focus all their attention on Akana Rika's heart...
"Cut!"
Seeing that the effect was already showing, Nagayama Naoki quickly shouted "click".
But Suzuki Honami over there was caught up in her emotions and couldn't stop for a long time... This is called drama!
"Very good! Honami-chan needs to calm down a little. This crying scene is very good!"
"Hi...."
Suzuki Honami wiped her face with a tissue, but she was still in that mood.
The scene after Nagayama Naoki starts communicating with other people, because there is also a short exchange in the carriage...
After the filming of the scene in the carriage was completed, the crew members packed up and went to Narita Airport to board a plane. They had to fly to Ehime Prefecture to shoot the location.
"As for Ehime Prefecture, it seems that Hiroshima is opposite?"
Nagayama Naoki suddenly thought of this question when he was looking at the map.
"Do you want to go take a look? Is there any radiation left..."
Then I saw the bay between Shikoku and the main island, with a large number of islands in the middle.
"It seems that the island Yuan Taisang mentioned before is in this bay..."
Ehime Prefecture is in the west of Shikoku, with the Seto Inland Sea to the north. There are more than two hundred islands connected by the "Shimanami Kaido"... It should be the prototype of the Land of Waves in Naruto.
"This kind of bridge shouldn't be the Naruto Bridge!"
It was almost evening when we arrived here. Looking at the bridge over the Seto Inland Sea, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He recalled animations such as Detective Conan and Slam Dunk, and he was also impressed by the three major migrant cartoons of Dead Fire, but unexpectedly he did not recall these three animations...
"Is it because there are no impressive songs?"
It is said that people have the deepest memory for sounds. They can hear sounds before they are born, and they are the last feeling to lose after death... Naoki Nagayama thinks this may be the reason.
The sea of death and fire has been so long, but there are no songs that are widely sung. It is really inappropriate!
But, is it really not the case?
With all kinds of thoughts flashing through our heads, there are still many things happening in reality. The crew of "Tokyo Love Story" quickly found the campus that echoed the description in the novel.
But first...
"Is it enough to just engrave your name? Will you make it look old?"
Naoki Nagayama complained about the prop team,
"You need to burn it with fire to carbonize the surface of the wood, and then polish it with sandpaper! This will give it an old feel!"
"..."
The prop master was very helpless,
"Naoki-san, we are not making old antiques...Besides, this is a school, we are not allowed to burn pillars..."
"Forehead...."
"Just rub it with wood wax oil and it'll be fine..."
"Hey, I won't bother you then!"
Naoki Nagayama ran away. Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals!
Wait, how does a prop master know how to make old antiques?!
After everything was done on the set, Naoki Nagayama quickly asked the crew to get ready...
After Nagao Rika left without saying goodbye, his wisdom finally came online once in the whole drama, and he soon came to his hometown of Ehime Prefecture...
He saw his name engraved on the pillar on the campus, and next to it, there was a new scratch, engraved with Akana Rika.
Under the warm sunshine in the afternoon, Nagao Kanji found the Akana Rika who left without saying goodbye on the campus playground...
