The characteristic of the Showa era was the use of cash. After signing the contract, Miwa Daisuke took out 10 million yen in cash from the financial office, put it in a cowhide envelope, and handed it directly to Naoki Nagayama.
After a feast at a high-end restaurant, Naoki Nagayama returned to the small house of the Makino family with a huge sum of money in his arms, and his heart slowly settled down.
This money came so easily that it was hard to believe that Naoki Nagayama, who had been a diligent worker in his previous two periods of life, opened the cowhide envelope again, put 10 million yen on the small table, and picked up the envelope.
Put it in front of you. On this 10,000 note, it is not the future Yukichi Fukuzawa, but Prince Shotoku.
Looking at the serious Prince Shotoku on the paper, and thinking of all the ways to get rich in the future, Nagayama Naoki chuckled and said, "Please take good care of me in the future, Your Highness."
...
What should you do when you make money? Spend it?
Naoki Nagayama, who made his first pot of gold, first chose to take a nice nap after returning to his room.
Although he has confidence in himself, Naoki-san, who has just traveled through time, is actually very worried about being in a situation where a penny can stump a heroic man.
At least until I can collect the rent at the end of the month, I still occasionally worry that Mrs. Makino will suddenly ask: "Naoki-san, it's time to pay the rent!"
When I woke up, I was an energetic young man again.
Nagayama Naoki went directly to knock on Nakai Genta's door. After a period of contact, the two of them had turned from acquaintances to friends. As expected, this graduate was still enjoying the decadent life after graduation and before joining the job.
"Didn't you go to the company for an interview, Yuan Taisang?"
"I went there yesterday, and arranged a dinner party at a high-end restaurant in the evening, and then went to a disco in Roppongi to dance..." Wonta Nakai was quite proud, "I have a day off today~"
"You are so awesome. You are worthy of Won Tai-san, a top student at Hitotsubashi University!" Naoki Nagayama praised him enthusiastically, "How much gift money did you get?"
Wonta Nakai raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "There are 200,000 yen!"
Sure enough, people are more popular than others! I worked hard for more than a week and even stole the future information to create a single. The copyright was only sold for 10 million yuan. I might as well go out and interview with several companies~
Although I know that the royalty income will far exceed this number in the future, I still suffered a small blow at this moment.
"It's really amazing, Yuan Taisang!"
"Haha, right~" As he was talking, he led Naoki Nagayama into the room, "How is Naoki-san's single?"
"It's been sold! After I get the fee, I want to invite Wontae-san and Suzumi-san to have a meal." Naoki Nagayama explained his intention, "I wonder if you and Suzume-san are free~"
"No need to spend too much money, Naoki-san." Wonta Nakai also knew Nagayama Naoki's financial situation, "Suzumi-san and I only helped because we were curious about your experience~"
"Hahaha, I know, but this is also my intention. I have troubled you so much before." Nagayama Naoki showed a little joy, "The copyright of "チェリーブラッサム" was sold for 10 million!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Won Nakai shouted: "Si Guoyi, 10 million! I'm so jealous~ Naoki-san is rich this time!"
As he said this, there was indeed no look of jealousy in his eyes: "Then we will have a good meal!"
He turned around and walked towards the landline to contact Hoshino Suzumi.
Sure enough, for top students from these prestigious schools, 10 million is just a few more interviews.
...
When young people make money and celebrate, of course they go to Roppongi in Silver Valley!
Finally, Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino took Naoki Nagayama to a dance hall in Roppongi. It was already evening when they arrived, and there were not many people there. The warm-up music was playing on the stage.
The three of them found a booth a little further away from the dance floor, and first ordered some snacks to eat. The price was quite expensive and the taste was average. This was the atmosphere.
During this period, Hoshino Suzumi kept asking Nagayama Naoki. She was very curious about everything in Sun Music Office!
"I didn't see Seiko-san... I'm very busy," Nagayama Naoki had to reply, "I just met the manager-san who is responsible for some of the brokerage affairs."
"Are there any signed records given away? Are there any peripherals?"
"No..." Naoki Nagayama had a headache. Star-chasers were indeed a bit difficult to deal with. "But if the song is officially released, I will send a sample and give it to you then!"
"That's great. It would be best if there is an autograph from His Highness the Holy Son~"
Ha~ The woman who has to look forward to Shu...
As we chatted, more people came in, the music began to get louder, and people on the dance floor began to move their bodies to the beat~
Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama had been to some bars in his previous life, but this was the first time he came to a dance hall in the Showa era. Looking at everything in the venue, he had a novel feeling of being in a foreign country.
It's a pity that Naoki Nagayama, who is under 20 years old, cannot drink. He can only sit and watch Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino get redder and redder as they drink, and the more they chat, the happier they become...
At some point, there were more and more people in the song and dance hall, and the people on the dance floor began to dance with the lead dancer. It was different from the discotheques that became popular later. At this time, there was actually a lead dancer on the dance floor, dancing.
A dance that should be very popular but Naoki Nagayama doesn’t understand at all.
Wonta Nakai and Suzumi Hoshino seemed to be dancing happily, with their eyebrows intertwined and smiles as bright as flowers. Poor Naoki Nagayama could only eat dog food silently in the booth. He paid for the tickets and the booth fee.
He can't drink wine, and he can't dance...
After another song, the crowd dispersed and took a break. Unexpectedly, they saw Hoshino Suzumi and two or three girls being blocked by a few arrogant young people. In the distance, they could hear the sign-like flicking of tongues.
It seems to be another major feature of Showa - Yakuza.
Nakai Wonta's face turned red with anger, and he stood in front of Hoshino Suzumi, while Nagayama Naoki also rushed over.
A closer look reveals that this group of Yakuza are simply fake. They are a group of young people who are here to have fun. They are dressed up like hippies. Naoki Nagayama’s memory has the impression of his grandfather. The real Yakuza will not
Like them, not to mention that this group of people are clean and don't even have a tattoo!
Nagayama Naoki was no longer timid, and immediately moved in front of Hoshino Suzumi, blocking the girls next to him behind him, "What are you guys going to do!"
This group of guys came back in confusion: "What, I just want to make friends with my little sister~" "おのれ~ Do you want to die~" "Naked duck~" "Haga Aro" and "きっめ".
....I obviously drank a little too much.
Facing this group of drunkards, Nagayama Naoki pushed away the people around him and cursed, "You bastards, wake up! If you are drunk, go home to your mother~"
Nakai Wonta was also cheering beside him: "That's right, you bastards, when you get drunk, go home to your mother as soon as possible~"
What came back was more random swear words: "てぇめ(You bastard))!" "ブッころしてやろう(See if I don't kill you)!"....
Nagayama Naoki is not afraid of the situation escalating or being beaten up at all. Anyone who has watched Young and Dangerous will know that a dance hall was able to open in Roppongi during the Showa era. How could the boss not have a gang background, either owning the property or paying protection fees?
Within a minute or two, the waiter came over surrounded by a brawny man in a floral shirt, with ferocious tattoos on his open chest. Without saying a word, he started talking loudly to this group of young men and told them to do so.
The flame was turned off, and then there was an even more ferocious flick of the tongue...
Then the strong man led the group of young people out, like quails, without any of the arrogance from before.
The foreman of the cabaret stayed and bowed to the onlookers first, telling everyone that some minor accidents had occurred and had been resolved, and that he hoped everyone would continue to have fun, and signaled the band to start the performance again.
Then he bowed to Naoki Nagayama and the others again, "Smith Marseille, I'm so sorry for causing a bad experience to customers due to poor management!"
"The song and dance hall has prepared booths on the second floor and some small gifts for you. I hope it can make up for your lost happiness~ Please come this way~" he said and began to lead the way.
Being able to open a dance hall in Roppongi is indeed very smooth.
Of course Nagayama Naoki had no objection. Nakai Wonta, Hoshino Suzumi and the four girls they had just been with also followed. The foreman obviously regarded them as friends.
When we got to the booth on the second floor, the noisy music suddenly stopped a little away, and the location was indeed better. The head waiter asked the waiter to bring a series of drinks, and he thoughtfully prepared juice for those who couldn't drink... Such a detail.
....
When everyone sat down, they realized that the four people who had just been together were clearly a family. The two older sisters looked older. Did you bring your younger sister to play?
The girl who seemed to be the oldest said to Wonta Nakai and Naoki Nagayama: "Hey, thank you both for your help. I am Akie Nakamori."
Hmm? This name feels familiar...
Wonta Nakai looks the biggest: "It's okay, those bastards are also causing trouble for my friends~ Oh, the beauty next to me is Hoshino Suzumi, and this young handsome guy is Naoki Nagayama!"
"Nakai-kun, Nagayama-kun, Hoshino-san, nice to meet you all, these are my three sisters." "I am Akiko Nakamori~" "I am Akina Nakamori~" "I am Akiho Nakamori~"
The three of them greeted each other in turn.
"Nakamori...Akina...?" Nagayama Naoki heard this soft voice and couldn't help but confirm again.
"Hi, I'm Akina Nakamori, what's wrong?" The little sister, a junior high school student with a round face, raised her head and looked at Nagayama Naoki with a confused look on her face.
The tender, round face with baby fat in front of him overlapped with the face of the unrivaled Showa singer in his memory. What Naoki Nagayama was thinking at this time was: "It is indeed Nakamori Fatty!"
