The straight-line distance from Kobe to Tokyo is more than 400 kilometers, but the route by car is of course longer, it is expected to be more than 500 kilometers, and it is expected to take five to six hours of driving.
So early the next morning, Nagayama Naoki and the rosy-faced Yoshimura Otomo embarked on the journey back to Tokyo, along with Yotaro who had regained a little energy in the back seat.
By the time we arrived in Tokyo, it was already afternoon~
"Otomo-san, don't go to the company today!" Naoki Nagayama said to Otomo Yoshimura who was driving along the way, "You are already so old, you should have a good rest."
"Why are you so old! Last night, I talked with the girl from the club all night long..."
I thought that after going to the Kobe Club with Nagayama Naoki, the two of them would become the three most important players in life. Yoshimura Otomo was going to talk about his great achievements in the club last night...
"Stop, stop, stop!" Nagayama Naoki quickly made a gesture of shutting up, "If you say this, it will make people think that we have done something immoral!"
"As promised in advance, I just went to visit the club, and I didn't find any young lady to talk to late at night!"
"you?!!"
Yoshimura Otomo only remembered that after being drunk last night, he grabbed a young lady and returned to the hotel. He really didn't know whether Nagayama Naoki next to him was there.
However, how could a young and vigorous man like Naoki Nagayama still be able to endure such a situation?
His eyes glanced at Naoki Nagayama's lower body, his face filled with suspicion...
"Don't look around! I'm sorry! I'm very healthy!!!" Naoki Nagayama pushed away Mediterranean's lewd eyes and said, "I just hate the exchange of pure bodily fluids!"
Although the girl in that club seemed very happy...
"Hey... shouldn't young people of your age be like Teddy?" Otomo Yoshimura said with disdain, "Why are you pursuing the communication between spirit and body like an old man who has seen through the world...
..”
Naoki Nagayama doesn’t want to continue talking about this topic with this guy. These guys will never understand the beautiful virtue of concentration!
"Anyway, if Otomo-san wants to go to the studio, just take a taxi there~ I won't send you off... Yamasakurain is coming soon!"
"...."
Yoshimura Otomo was placed next to the main road, and the vehicles whizzed by, leaving him alone... Looking back, what on earth did he do in the past two days?
After nearly ten hours of driving, I just walked around Misora Hibari's house, didn't even say a few words to Misora Hibari, and then had a meal of sake in Kobe, and nothing else...
....
On the busy street, this middle-aged man felt a sense of emptiness...
At this time, Nagayama Naoki had already walked into Yamazakura-in... Yotaro, who was a little depressed at first, excitedly ran towards Nyotaro who was basking in the sun. He was very happy to return home.
Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, collapsed on the sofa in the living room, letting the soft sofa cushions support his body.
After a long time, I saw the recording prompt flashing on the phone next to me...
"Moses Moses, Naoki-san, this is Tamori... I read the previous program plan carefully and am very interested. I hope we can meet and discuss the next step of cooperation."
This is Tamori-san's message... I called last night...
It looks like "Music Station" is ready to start!
Then, the phone started playing the next message:
"Moses Moses, this is the lonely Akina... Naoki-san hasn't come back yet... I can't sleep... What is Naoki-san doing in Kobe? Meet Misora Hibari
Have you done it?......Also, did you remember to sign it?!"
Hearing this, Nagayama Naoki was shocked, but then he remembered that he could ask for it from the Kobe Performing Arts Club... and then he felt relieved.
"I haven't seen Naoki-san for a long time~ I really want to see..."
The recording of the phone call was only for one minute, so Akina's voice ended here, but the longing in the words did not stop, lingering in Naoki Nagayama's heart.
Because of the scandal, the two have not seen each other for almost a week, which is a long time since they confirmed their relationship~
"It's decided! I'm going to sneak attack Akina tonight!"
Nagayama Naoki cheered up...
.......
When he came to Tagang Residence again, Nagayama Hayato frowned, thinking about what happened when the fourth generation held a team leader meeting last time.
"Will the Yondaime stick to his promise?"
Hayato Nagayama never thought that the Yamaguchi-gumi would covet KTV so early. According to previous discussions between him and Nagayama Naoki, it was only after opening branches in at least several big cities that the Yamaguchi-gumi, a big business family, could take a fancy to this KTV.
A piece of business.
Unexpectedly, the greed of the direct team leaders was so strong, and the director of the Chinese team of the East Asia Association, Misaka Takahiro, was the one who made KTV’s revenue known to the public because of his clamor...
The old man, who was over 70 years old, was silently thinking about what to do after arriving at Tian Gang Residence.
If that doesn't work... give some of the profits to the headquarters? But the protection fees for other Yamaguchi-gumi groups must not be given!
"Team leader, we're already here." Shogo Hanada, his younger brother who temporarily acted as the driver, said.
"Oh, we're already here~"
Hayato Nagayama tidied up his kimono, and then got out of the car with a cane. Even though he was old and frail, he could still see the shadow of his former tall figure. So the body shapes of Nagayama Kumahara and the next generation Nagayama Kaede and Nagayama Aoki
It’s obvious where it comes from~
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the bow of the young man stationed at the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters, Nagayama Hayato came directly to the Yamato room, and a dozen or so group leaders had already arrived.
"Team Leader Yongshan, we meet again~"
The annoying Misaka Takahiro came over. He was actually wearing a flowery shirt under his suit. Just like him, he had a lot of flowers.
"Well...."
Hayato Nagayama wanted to end the conversation with a modal word, but Takahiro Misaka was not that easy to dismiss.
"Team Leader Nagayama, please forgive me! I secretly went to the KTV in Roppongi to watch it before I came here, and it was indeed packed with guests!
This kind of Yinchuan is like running water, and it is really enviable for your grandson to scoop it up in a basin...
So, how can we be allowed to stand on the shore? You are right!"
"..." Hayato Nagayama didn't want to pay attention to him.
"I believe Team Leader Takenaka will also understand our difficulties!" Misaka Takahiro smiled proudly, "Other team leaders also want a share of the pie!"
"...Then let's wait for the Yondaime's decision!"
Hayato Nagayama actually already had a general understanding of this gathering. The people invited this time were all group leaders who were more or less interested in KTV. It was obvious that the Yondaime came for this matter.
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, ignoring Misaka Takahiro. Misaka Takahiro also felt bored and went to chat with other familiar group leaders.
After everyone arrived, Masahisa Takenaka and Fumiko Taoka appeared together and sat at the head seat among the group of leaders.
Takenaka Masahisa, who was born in the martial arts sect, did not play around with lust and indulgence. After everyone looked over, he said directly:
"I have understood everyone's thoughts at the last gathering!"
"Regarding the KTV industry of Yongshan Group, all the group leaders are interested..." Masahisa Takenaka looked at the group leaders one by one with his triangular eyes, looking very oppressive, "After all, a chicken that lays golden eggs,
Who wouldn’t want that!”
"However, the Nagayama-gumi has handed over part of the commission to the headquarters, and I have promised to leader Hayato Nagayama that the Yamaguchi-gumi will not interfere in the management of the KTV. On the contrary, I will order the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi to protect it.
After this period of consideration, I have made a decision on this matter!"
Hayato Nagayama looked at the Yondaime calmly, without even consulting with him in advance... If he really betrayed his trust at this time, it means that he is just a capricious villain. There is no Yamaguchi-gumi four.
The magnanimity of the generation.
The treatment from Hiroshi Yamamoto seems to be pretty good too!
"I have decided that the previous order remains unchanged!
Members of the Yamaguchi-gumi are still not allowed to interfere with KTV! They are not allowed to collect protection fees! And they still have to protect the KTV in their jurisdiction!!
This is the final decision of me, the fourth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi Takenaka Masahisa!"
The smiles on the faces of Misaka Takahiro and other team leaders disappeared. He immediately looked at Nagayama Hayato, thinking that this old guy had used some method to gain the support of Takenaka Masahisa.
At this time, although Nagayama Hayato's face was calm, the surprise in his eyes still showed that he was not aware of this decision.
"But the Yondaime!" Misaka Takahiro said unwillingly, "The benefits of KTV are indeed too great! If it opened in every city, it would almost be able to support the membership fees of the entire Yamaguchi-gumi!"
"Are you going to throw away the loyalty among the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi just because you want to make money?!" Takenaka Masahisa shouted, "This is the Nagayama-gumi's industry! Your other groups also have their own industries, do you also want to be taken away by your companions?
!”
I talk to you about benefits, but you talk about loyalty to me? How much is loyalty worth?!
Takahiro Misaka, who has been in Tokyo for a long time, only feels ridiculous!
"Team Leader Takenaka, does this mean that all of us cannot make money?"
Takenaka Masahisa reprimanded him righteously:
"Misaka Takahiro! You can make other money, but KTV is the Nagayama-gumi's property!! It's the brother's property, you can't rob it!!!"
In this era, money is king, who cares about things like brotherly loyalty! Those are all clichés!
Misaka Takahiro blurted out: "Team Leader Takenaka, you will regret giving this kind of order!"
Masahisa Takenaka's small eyes flashed with fierce light:
"Misaka Takahiro! I am the leader of the Yamaguchi group!"
"...."
The cup was decided. After hearing this, Misaka Takahiro could not refute, but could only push the door open and leave in anger!
Takenaka closed his eyes for a long time without speaking, and the other team leaders below also began to whisper.
At this time, Fumiko Taoka began to comfort her:
"Team leaders, please don't be misled by Misaka Takahiro's few words. Do you think KTV is just about making money while lying down?
The technical difficulty of the KTV industry is not very difficult. In addition to our Yamaguchi group, various consortiums must have noticed it, and there are also large and small capitals."
"Think about it, when dance halls first appeared, they were popping up like mushrooms after a rain!"
"The competitive pressure from the Nagayama-gumi KTV will not be small. They will have competitors in various cities... That's why I specifically asked the fourth generation to give the Yamaguchi-gumi protection..."
"You guys, don't do this kind of thing where you compete with your brothers for profit..."
As a high-status elder sister of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Fumiko Tagoka's words made the immediate team leaders sitting here think seriously. This was not a particularly difficult situation to analyze, but the previous direct team leaders were benefited from it.
Just blindfolded.
After waves of approval, the immediate team leaders lost their previous impulse and gradually became quiet.
So Takenaka Masahisa, who closed his eyes and said nothing, spoke again:
"Now that everyone knows, let's break up this meeting!"
After that, he took the lead in exiting the large Japanese room without saying anything to Hayato Nagayama.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, this is the Taoka Residence, and Taoka Fumiko still has to see off the guests, so she stayed and said goodbye to the people she knew.
Nagayama Hayato, who was sitting upright, felt that the development of today's story was very confusing. He had already prepared for the worst and was ready to fall to the Yondaime rival Yamamoto Hiroshi...
"This development is really...unexpected!"
Hayato Nagayama stood up. He didn't have much friendship with Fumiko Taoka, so he nodded and prepared to leave.
When he led the original Shimizu family to join the Yamaguchi-gumi family, he was already the head of the Shimizu family. He took the name of the Yamaguchi-gumi just because of the pressure from the Yamaguchi-gumi, so it was originally a group with strong autonomy.
However, when walking to the door, you can still feel the greedy eyes of some group leaders... Even if there are competitors, KTV is still making money!
These guys still haven't given up... In this case, the expansion of KTV in other cities will be hindered!
These people are all team leaders. If they don't say anything else, as long as they turn a blind eye to other gangsters coming to KTV to provoke them, it will cause serious consequences.
Hayato Nagayama hesitated for a moment, but finally took out the countermeasures he had thought of before. This was a countermeasure that combined Naoki Nagayama's previous analysis of the difficulties encountered in the development of the KTV industry and the solutions.
He turned around and leaned on the cane heavily, attracting the attention of other people in the Japanese room:
"Dear team leaders... In fact, the business model of KTV is very simple... Karaoke equipment can also be used in dance halls, discos, bars, etc...."
"The order from Team Leader Takenaka is not to allow the Yamaguchi Team to interfere in the operation of KTV... So, why are you keeping an eye on KTV?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving him and the team leader in the room looking at each other in confusion.
"What does this old man mean?" a team leader asked.
"It's ridiculous." "The business model...isn't it just that guests pay to sing?" "What does it mean to stare at the KTV?"
One of the team leaders said hesitantly: "If karaoke equipment is installed in the game hall, does that not count as a KTV?"
"Then it should be called a karaoke hall!"
A team leader said...
Hearing this, the eyes of each team leader began to shine. We can not operate KTV, but we can operate karaoke parlors!
Then he looked at Fumiko Taoka, wanting to get a positive answer.
"Sister-in-law Tagoka, is what Hayato Nagayama said true? Team Leader Takenaka's order does not include karaoke rooms?"
Taoka Fumiko thought for a while and nodded:
"This...yes!"
"Hahaha, then I understand! Thank you, eldest sister!" "Goodbye, eldest sister!"
...
Nagayama Hayato sighed as he got back into the car. This was originally a plan that would come up when KTV expanded to major cities in Neon.
Let the people of the Yamaguchi-gumi also become a similar ecosystem in this industry chain.
However, in addition to the music experience of karaoke machines, the core advantages of KTV are private social interaction, high-quality services, and the habits developed by guests, etc.
Regarding these, Naoki Nagayama said that he was definitely decades ahead of his time!
After the team leader of Tagakatei left, Taoka Fumiko also told Takenaka Masahisa what happened.
"What an old fox!" Masahisa Takenaka's evaluation of Hayato Nagayama has not changed.
"Yes, but the pressure on him is indeed much less... Now only Misaka Takahiro is left~" Fumiko Taoka said.
A picture of Misaka Takahiro leaving the field angrily appeared in front of Takenaka Masahisa's eyes, and murderous intent began to flash in his eyes.
"That guy! You would never dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Sandaime!"
He knew that this was the reason for his lack of prestige.
Taoka Fumiko comforted him: "It will be fine after the naming ceremony is officially completed!"
"Hmph! When the naming ceremony is completed, I will make this guy Misaka Takahiro look good!"
