254, Naoki Naoyama! Also said that you are not familiar with Yamaguchi-gumi?
"Naoki-san, isn't it a bit rude of me to go to your house like this?"
Shuichi Itou sat in the passenger seat of the convertible, drinking canned beer while chatting with Naoki Nagayama.
"If you are meeting your uncle or aunt for the first time, why don't you bring some gifts? You want to leave a good impression on them!"
Nagayama Naoki was dumbfounded by Itou Shuichi's words:
"You're not a girlfriend going to meet your parents! What are you doing with all the drama!"
I just talked about it casually yesterday, but I didn't expect that Shuichi Itou would be so shameless as to get into Naoki Nagayama's car, saying that he wanted to experience the culture of a gang organization in depth and in a real way.
"By the way, do you really want to meet my grandpa? Yesterday I just talked about it. In fact, our family and grandpa's side have been separated for a long time. I haven't even met him a few times." Nagayama Naoki sincerely persuaded, "
If you want to experience the yakuza organization, wouldn’t it be great to find some Yakuza in Tokyo?”
"I don't want it. What do little bastards like Yakuza know? They can't even speak better than me when they say something like Konoya." Itou Shuichi looked completely unafraid and imitated their iconic tongue.
Tongue, "What's more, I ran out to take refuge in an open and honest manner, okay?"
Itou Shuichi has no choice. If the management continues to mess around like this, there will be no way to make the movie.
However, I was isolated and helpless in the crew, and I couldn't defeat them at all. It wasn't a problem for me to just leave my job, but it was still okay for me to "run away from home" for a while to collect stories.
In order to show his dissatisfaction with the management, Itou Shuichi planned to use this trick to protest.
Now the initiative has gone to Shuichi Itou's side, and the ones who are anxious are the management. If they don't compromise, the filming progress will be greatly delayed. You know, one day's delay is the cost of one day!
Itou Shuichi also considered the worst outcome, which was just to change the director. If Shimizu Imami hadn't brought it over, but if Kadokawa had invested in it, he really wouldn't have wanted to make it!
Wouldn’t it be great to make a movie with Naoki Nagayama? Didn’t you see that it was filmed in half a month?
"By the way, Naoki-san, how is the editing of the new movie going? Do you need help?"
"That Summer, the Sea of Tranquility"? I haven't started editing yet. I've been working on the soundtrack for the past two days. But it's not too troublesome to edit. It's all shot according to the plot. You just need Masa Takajun.
, no problem~”
Hearing this, Shuichi Itou knew that there was no chance of participating in editing.
"Shoo, then I'm looking forward to the completion of the film~"
It's October, and the coast from Tokyo to Shizuoka also feels like autumn. There are obviously many signs of fallen leaves on the coastal roads that are not frequently cleaned.
The green leaves of the evergreen trees on both sides of the road deepened in the sunlight. On the slope a little far away from the roadbed, the tangled weeds showed a withered yellow color, revealing the originally covered black earth.
The coast that can be seen on the other side, with black rocks and gray sandy beaches, remains motionless amid the gray-white foam that is constantly rising from the waves, and has completely lost the luster of spring.
"Xiu Yi-san, how long has it been since you last saw the sea view?"
Nagayama Naoki assumed the posture that Fujiwara Takumi usually used when driving, holding the steering wheel with his left hand and resting his right hand on the car door. While looking at the sea view, he talked to Itou Shuichi.
"It's not that long ago. I even went to Minato City to play in the summer." Itou Shuichi turned around and saw the way Nagayama Naoki was driving.
"I say, Naoki-san, put your hands on the steering wheel and look ahead~ It's very dangerous to drive like this!"
"Even if you don't worry about your life, there is still someone next to you! Yui-chan is still waiting for me at home!"
Hey, this guy who doesn't know how to wink at all, I, Shizuoka Car God, have such a classy driving posture, even if I don't say that I am handsome, are you still worried that I will overturn my car?
How is it possible? There are no five consecutive hairpin turns on this road. Even if there were, I would not overturn!
Since early in the morning, Yongshan Feng from Qingshui City has been a little uneasy. His cousin is coming over!
Naoki Nagayama called him the night before and said he wanted to bring a friend to experience the gang culture.
In fact, since Nagayama Naoki came to Qingshui's headquarters to meet his grandfather, although there is still no interaction on the surface, the juniors are no longer in a situation where they never interact with each other. They will also talk on the phone during important holidays.
,
After all, they are still close blood relatives.
Moreover, who knew that Yongshan Kaede, a tall and thick guy, was actually a fan of "Love Letter"!
After knowing that Naoki Nagayama was the author, I asked for a limited edition signed collection of "Love Letter"!
And this time, this little cousin called specifically to bring his friend to experience gangster culture. He also said that his friend was a director and wanted to film today’s experience in a movie!
Gangsters are also ordinary people. Who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a movie star?
"Shouji, how can we express the unique culture of our Yamaguchi-gumi?" Nagayama Kaede asked his confidant next to him.
"The special culture of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I don't even know about it, boss!"
The boss, who is tall and thick, naturally has younger brothers who are taller and thicker. It is no problem to ask Hagiwara Shoji to kill people, but it is a bit difficult to ask him to use his brain.
"Then think about it!"
After asking the few boys around him, and getting a bunch of messy answers, Yongshan Feng seemed to have found the final solution, asking the boys to call more people, and then made preparations.
Nagayama Kaede smiled and thought: "In this case, the culture of the Yamaguchi-gumi can be best expressed!"
When I came back this time, I didn't go back to my hometown directly, but stopped in Qingshui City. My grandfather's home is here and I still have things to deal with.
"Xiu Yisang, let's stop at Qingshui first to deal with some things."
"What's going on? Does Naoki-san want to meet a certain little girlfriend?"
I had never noticed before that Shuichi Itou was becoming more and more out of character and developing into a wretched uncle.
"You guys need to clean your brain!" Nagayama Naoki said helplessly, "I bought a tea garden before, and now the workers need to talk about it."
As he spoke, he drove to the tea garden in Qingshui Mountain. Fujita Keiko had already completed the property rights procedures for the tea garden, but the tea garden needed people to operate it. There were also workers left in the tea garden itself. It was just right to go and deal with it this time.
.
Masaharu Takayama, who is in his fifties, has lived in a small town in the mountains all his life. Even when he was young, people said that Yamashita was developing rapidly and making more money. He did not go out, but found a local girl to start a family.
I spent most of my life farming and doing odd jobs in tea gardens.
Some time ago, he heard that the owner of the tea garden had sold the tea garden. He was very sorry, but it didn't matter. Even the new boss still needed odd jobs like picking tea, so he still worked honestly during this period.
Taking care of the tea garden.
When Nagayama Naoki went up the mountain, he saw the figure in the tea garden. When he arrived at the small house next to the tea garden, he called the person back.
Itou Shuichi wandered around the tea garden with great interest, while Nagayama Naoki chatted with Takayama Masaharu.
"Gaoshan Sang, the boss of the tea garden told me before that you have been working in the tea garden for several years, right."
Although I didn’t expect that the new boss would be such a young and handsome guy, Masaharu Takayama still spoke of his experience respectfully,
"Hi, I have been working in the tea gardens with my father since I was a child. When I grew up, I planted crops in the mountains. When several tea gardens nearby needed help, I would help out."
"So, are Alpine Mulberry familiar with the picking and roasting of tea leaves?"
"Hi, speaking of which, the tea leaves in our tea garden are also very authentic clear water tea. Every spring. How to pick the best tea leaves."
Speaking of work in the tea plantation, Masaharu Takayama, a seemingly honest guy, has bright eyes. With more than 40 years of experience, it can be said that no one knows the tea in the mountainous area of Qingshui better than him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't make much money simply doing odd jobs, and he never had his own tea garden.
Nagayama Naoki listened to Takayama Masaharu's long speech with a smile. Seeing that he felt dry and tongue-tied, he even refilled his tea cup.
"Ah, private Marseille, I accidentally said so many words."
"Diabu, after listening to Gaoshan Sang's words, I also learned a lot."
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Nagayama Naoki directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Takayama-san, I came here to discuss something with you."
Takayama Masaharu quickly put down his tea cup: "Eh? Please tell me."
"The previous tea plantation owner recommended many tea plantation workers to me, but I am not here to find odd jobs this time."
Nagayama Naoki looked into Takayama Masaharu's eyes. This old man who was over fifty years old seemed a little worried.
"Is the tea garden no longer open?"
"No, the tea garden still needs to be operated, but it may be different from the past." Nagayama Naoki did not go around and said, "Takayama-san, I would like to hire you as the long-term manager of the tea garden."
"Eh?! Long-term manager?" Masaharu Takayama was surprised.
"Hi, I may not have much time to come to the tea garden, so I need you to handle the daily management."
Nagayama Naoki has always believed that common interests can bring about long-term harmonious work. "If Takayama-san is willing to take up the post, in addition to the daily salary, the income from the tea garden production can also be shared. At the end of the year, there will be a red envelope based on the work situation of the year."
"This" Takayama Masaharu felt like pie was falling from the sky at this time.
"But there is one thing I need to agree with Gao Shansan in advance."
"Hi?" Takayama Masaharu seemed to have agreed to be the tea garden manager in a daze.
"In the future, the production requirements of tea gardens will be higher, and they can only be supplied to one tea house in Tokyo. Only tea leaves from the best picking season will be required each year, no more than a few hundred kilograms."
"Then other tea leaves." Takayama Masaharu knew that this tea garden could produce at least a thousand kilograms of tea leaves a year.
"All good-quality tea leaves are made into matcha, and low-quality tea leaves are used as fertilizer~"
"Eh?!" That would be such a waste.
Nagayama Naoki hasn't finished speaking yet: "And Shoji-san needs to find young girls around 15 years old to pick during the best picking season. At that time, I have to ask you to find someone."
"Huh?!!!" What kind of operation is this?!!
Next, Nagayama Naoki and Takayama Masaharu continued to talk about his salary, the house here is also for him to live in, and there are some other requirements.
During the whole process, Takayama Masaharu either nodded or said "hi", and even when he finally signed the contract, he signed it in a daze.
"Xiu Yisang, let's go!"
In the end, Nagayama Naoki pulled away Itou Shuichi who was wandering around, and Takayama Masaharu had not yet recovered.
When Takayama Masaharu's wife brought him lunch, the old man was still sitting blankly in the small house.
"Old man, what's wrong? Are you suffering from heatstroke?" The old woman said and touched Takayama Masaharu's forehead.
"Honey, my salary has been raised."
"Nani? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"200,000 per month!" Takayama Masaharu said, "There is also a bonus at the end of the year!"
Nagayama Naoki was still driving the car, and Itou Shuichi was curious on the side.
"When did Naoki-san buy a tea plantation?"
"I bought it last month, maybe, when I came back from Hawaii?"
"Want to sell tea?"
"No, didn't I buy a shop over there in Silver Valley? It was converted into a teahouse, so I set up a tea garden to supply tea." Nagayama Naoki drove down the mountain and looked around, trying to find a phone booth.
"Do those who open tea houses now have to buy their own tea gardens?"
Itou Shuichi said that he could not understand the operations of rich people at all.
"Xiu Yisang can also buy one, isn't he very rich~"
The convertible sports car stopped next to a phone booth on the roadside in Qingshui City.
Nagayama Naoki called his cousin. In fact, he had already contacted him once yesterday, and this time he confirmed the arrival time.
"Hi, Brother Feng, we'll be there soon." "Hi, just the two of us." "Hi, see you later."
After Nagayama Naoki got on the car again, he looked at Itou Shuichi who was a little careless, so he scared him and said:
"Shuichi-san, my cousin Nagayama Kaede is a third-generation descendant of the real Yamaguchi-gumi, with dozens of younger brothers under him.
My uncle and I are not very familiar with each other, and I have not had much contact with gang affairs, nor do I know much about their rules.
So when you get there, when you see your cousin, you should be more respectful when you speak!"
Itou Shuichi also became nervous, sat up straight and straightened his appearance:
"Hey, I got it!"
Nagayama Kaede and his grandfather's family all live in a big house in Anhara Town, Qingmizu City, but Nagayama Kaede and his younger brother also have their own small branch during the day.
It is a two-story masonry building surrounded by wooden walls. The main entrance is made of bamboo and has a small eave. The door stares at the Yongshan Group sign. There are no other residents around for dozens of meters.
Such a small single-family building in the urban area is the headquarters of Yongshan Feng and dozens of younger brothers.
Nagayama Naoki parked the car at the door, took Itou Shuichi and rang the doorbell of the bamboo front door.
Not long after, I heard the sound of neat footsteps, and a group of about ten boys in uniform black suits quickly lined up in two lines on the path between the house and the main entrance.
Then Yongshan Feng came and opened the door in person.
"Naoki, long time no see! Come in quickly!"
"Hi, Brother Kaede, long time no see!" Naoki Nagayama entered the main entrance and was about to introduce Shuichi Itou next to him.
I saw the young men on both sides of the aisle bowing collectively and shouting loudly and neatly:
"Boss Naoki! Welcome back!! Thank you for your hard work!!!"
???!!!
Itou Shuichi was frightened by the sound.
Nagayama Naoki, you said you are not familiar with the Yamaguchi-gumi?!
