In the evening, Naoki Nagayama happened to meet Haruki Kadokawa in a club in Ginza~
Yoshimura Otomo's efficiency is really very high~ Such a high-quality tool man can be encountered casually on the street... This can only mean that Nagayama Naoki's good luck~
It was dark, but the street in the club was brightly lit and full of people looking for fun. It was very lively with people coming and going.
This time we came to a relatively novel club, which actually looked more like a combination of a high-end restaurant and a theater...
In the huge main hall, small round tables covered with brightly colored silk cloth were evenly distributed in the venue. Among the guests sitting around the round table, some were eating and drinking, some were smoking and playing cards, and some were hugging their female companions and the people next to them.
Just joking~
In the middle is a huge stage, with a dance team wearing gorgeous performance costumes, dancing well-rehearsed dances in a rhythm. At first glance, it feels like the opening joint dance of the Red and White Song Festival~
Kadokawa Haruki and Yoshimura Otomo were sitting at a round table in the first three rows, chatting with their heads slightly close to each other. Three fashionably dressed girls were already sitting next to them.
Naoki Nagayama found his spot and walked through the slightly crowded space.
"Haruki-san! Otomo-san!"
"Naoki-san is here!" Kadokawa Haruki looked at Nagayama Naoki and smiled, "I'm late, I'll have to drink as a penalty~"
"Haha, I just came here to drink today, are you worried that you won't have anything to drink?"
Naoki Nagayama sat down with a smile. The smile on the face of the girl next to him was obviously much brighter, and she poured him wine and served him enthusiastically...
Yoshimura Otomo couldn't help but pointed at Naoki Nagayama and said to Haruki Kadokawa:
"Haruki-san, this is why I don't go to nightclubs with Nagayama Naoki! As soon as he shows up, all the girls' eyes are on him~"
Kadokawa Haruki smiled and waved: "Girls like handsome guys, this is human nature~"
At this time, the waitress next to her praised her with a wink: "Chun Shusang is also very handsome~ I like him very much~"
"You really know how to talk, hahaha~"
Although he knew that this was just a show, Kadokawa Haruki was still very happy and started joking with the girl next to him. The table was immediately filled with laughter.
Such an environment, the noisy singing and dancing on the stage, the noise of people in the audience, the noisy atmosphere in the hall... It is obviously not a place for talking about things. This kind of club is just for fun.
Nagayama Naoki also understood what Kadokawa Haruki meant by choosing this place, he just wanted to have fun and nothing else... It seemed like he was a bit unfamiliar after not seeing each other for such a long time~
But it doesn’t matter, after a few rounds of drinking, we will all become good brothers again!
After understanding this, Naoki Nagayama started to exchange cups with Otomo Yoshimura. From time to time he would enjoy the dance on the stage. The young lady next to him was also very good at stirring up the atmosphere, telling a few jokes and gossiping, and playing a few games.
The small games made the atmosphere at this table lively.
It was Naoki Nagayama's first time to come to such a club, so he thought it was a novelty. As he expected, after drinking enough, Haruki Kadokawa's enthusiasm returned...
"Naoki-san, you are really red now!" Haruki Kadokawa drank a glass of red wine, his face slightly red, "Your information is all over the TV and newspapers!"
"Haha, that's all because of Akina Nakamori. In fact, I just took advantage of her fame." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"If Akina Nakamori hadn't had an affair with you, she would still be just a popular idol. How could she be more famous than Seiko Matsuda..."
Kadokawa Haruki actually has his own unique views on the entertainment industry.
"Now there are some trends of Yamaguchi Momoe... You know, Yamaguchi Momoe only got that status after marrying Miura Yuka and retiring!"
This is indeed true. Momoe Yamaguchi will become an iconic image in the entertainment industry. In addition to being the pinnacle of idol singers and achieving outstanding results in film and television, the most important thing is to get married and then sing.
Wearing a wedding dress at the meeting, she put down the microphone and announced her retirement.
When she was at her most popular, she completely withdrew from the entertainment industry... Such behavior left the public with the impression that Yamaguchi Momoe was the perfect image at her peak.
In the neon culture, returning to the family and becoming a housewife, caring for her husband and raising children, has cast a layer of brilliance on her image.
"It's not that exaggerated... Akina is still a little far away from Yamaguchi Momoe~"
Hearing this, Nagayama Naoki could only continue to smile, raised his glass and drank another drink with Kadokawa Haruki.
Yoshimura Otomo said from the side: "If we Naoki-san also form a fan club and enter the idol industry, we will definitely be a first-class male idol!"
"Hahahaha, that's true!" Kadokawa Haruki laughed and nodded.
The waiters next to me looked at Naoki Nagayama’s appearance, and they all smiled and agreed~
The first scene of drinking lasted until late at night. Kadokawa Haruki and Yoshimura Otomo's faces were rosy, but their consciousness was still very clear, while Nagayama Naoki's face was only slightly red.
Midway through the scene, we arrived at the familiar "Lotus" club in Roppongi... Mama-san immediately recognized the regulars and immediately welcomed Haruki Kadokawa in.
First, I put a hot towel on my face to let the alcohol smell dissipate a little, and then I asked a familiar young lady to come up and accompany me.
This familiar club became much quieter. Kadokawa Haruki took a sip of tea and woke up:
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san said, you came to me because you have something to tell me?"
It seems that now is the main topic, about "The Summer of Kikujiro" competing for the Palme d'Or... But this tone does not quite meet Naoki Nagayama's expectations. He doesn't want to beg for help, so he has to find a way.
Disrupt it!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Haru Shu-san, there is indeed a good deal and I want to ask you what you mean." Naoki Nagayama drank a glass of cold soda to refresh his mouth.
Some, "Do you know which stock is the hottest in the stock market right now?"
Kadokawa Haruki was stunned, why did he suddenly talk about the stock market?
"It should...should be that General Fujitsu, right?"
The Kadokawa Group is not yet considered a chaebol, but it is at the top of the pyramid in both the publishing and film and television industries and belongs to the big capital. Kadokawa Haruki naturally pays attention to the capital market.
"Well, it is indeed this stock." Naoki Nagayama did not go too far, "In fact, due to various reasons, I currently hold about 10% of Fujitsu General's shares."
"One percent?!" Kadokawa Haruki was surprised, "This is already a major shareholder. Naoki-san is a director of Fujitsu General?"
"Hi... it was before the merger and acquisition." Naoki Nagayama said, "The current amount of investment has increased almost 6 times..."
"That's really a huge profit! Congratulations to Naoki-san!" Kadokawa Haruki toasted Naoki Nagayama in surprise. This kind of windfall is very rare.
But then he thought about it, Nagayama Naoki just said there was a good business?
"Naoki-san... do you want to sell the shares?" Kadokawa Haruki immediately reacted, "Cash out?"
"Hey, because I borrowed a sum of money from the bank before...and now Shuyou is about to launch three or four movies and has built a new film shooting base...so the funds are a little tight.
"
Nagayama Naoki said it honestly,
"So I want to sell some shares in exchange for working capital."
Fangcun Dayu stood silently beside him, complaining silently in his heart... Let's not talk about other things about Shuyou, the lack of funds is completely nonsense!!!
Not to mention how easy and cheap it is for Shuyu to shoot a movie, "Summer of Kikujiro" has a box office of more than 5 billion, which can bring in a lot of money!
In other words, it’s been less than a year since the company’s transformation, and Kadokawa hasn’t received the year-end financial report yet… Kadokawa has shares in Shuyou!
Kadokawa Haruki didn't think much about it. He followed the traditional film production process and naturally knew how much investment it cost to make a movie. If two or three movies are produced together, the initial investment is indeed a bit large.
"Naoki-san...you mean to sell General Fujitsu's shares to me?" Kadokawa Haruki confirmed.
"Hey, although there is still some room for growth, it's not too much." Nagayama Naoki said, "In addition, I feel that the board of directors of General Fujitsu is weak... After all, there is no one like Kadokawa.
With the same rich connections and resources, they have no say in the company’s operations.”
Shuyou Capital is just an investment company and naturally does not have the resources and manpower to truly control the development of a listed company.
If the Kadokawa Group takes action, it will naturally not just get a few shares from Naoki Nagayama and become a nominal director. He will combine his own resources, deploy personnel, and get a real say in the development of General Fujitsu.
This will greatly expand the business territory of Kadokawa Group. You must know that manufacturing is the field that Neon Capital wants to get involved most at the moment.
"Naoki-san...I can't make a decision all at once." Haruki Kadokawa was shocked by the sudden news. Naturally, he couldn't make such a big decision all at once.
"I know...it's a big deal~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Haru Shu-san can think about it for a while. This proposal will be valid until the end of the year."
Kadokawa Haruki nodded solemnly after receiving the promise. He planned to summon his confidants and elders to discuss the matter after he returned.
"Let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about something relaxing today~"
At this time, Naoki Nagayama changed the topic:
"Haruki-san, have you ever watched "Kikujiro's Summer"?"
"Of course! The filming was excellent!" Haruki Kadokawa is also a director himself, so naturally he went to watch it. "Naoki-san is an absolute genius in film shooting!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Haruki-san, do you think this movie can win an award?"
"Of course! All the movies this year can't compare to Naoki-san's one!" Haruki Kadokawa gave very high praise.
Yoshimura Otomo finally got a chance to speak:
"But we are worried... Last year and the year before last, the Academy Awards and the Blue Ribbon Film Awards were all produced by Tree Friends. This year... there may not be a chance! The Film Weekly Awards are possible~"
"Well...it's possible." Kadokawa Haruki naturally knew this unspoken rule. He looked at Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, do you need help from Kadokawa Pictures? There is still a chance of impact.
of!"
Sure enough, after being given a sweet date, Kadokawa Haruki's attitude improved a lot and he was willing to take the initiative to help!
"No need...we have already won a lot of domestic awards~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile: "So we mainly want to compete for international awards!"
"Naoki-san wants to challenge the Palme d'Or?" Kadokawa Haruki asked.
"Hey... I have this ambition!" Naoki Nagayama admitted directly, and then asked, "But the chance of this is somewhat... By the way, Haruki-san, your Kadokawa Pictures, have overseas
Do you have connections?”
"There are more or less!" Kadokawa Haruki is not modest, because he helped "Hachikoden" win an Oscar before.
"That's really great~"
"...."
With the previous foreshadowing, the next conversation went smoothly. Since the Kadokawa Group will most likely obtain 10% of General Fujitsu's shares from Naoki Nagayama before the end of the year, Haruki Kadokawa readily agreed to the next May's golden meeting.
Give a helping hand to Naoki Nagayama at the Palm Award.
The drinking became even more enjoyable after that, making Naoki Nagayama a little tipsy~
.......
It was already early in the morning when Nagayama Naoki was sent back to Yamasakura-in.
Nakamori Akina returned to Yamazakura not long ago, and she will start to get busy. Going home in the early morning will become her daily routine.
After taking a shower, I watched TV in the living room while waiting for my boyfriend to come back... Since we were living together, I thought that I should at least see each other before going to bed, at least... I have to deal with the contract today.
Talk to Naoki-san.
"Naoki-san?!"
As soon as the door opened, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Akina Nakamori quickly supported Naoki Nagayama who entered the entrance until she settled him on the sofa.
"Why did you drink so much wine?"
"I'm meeting with Kadokawa Haruki to talk about something!"
Naoki Nagayama's consciousness was still sober, and he was talking to his girlfriend about today's events, and at the same time, he was licking Taro who was cowering at the side. This guy didn't want to come over after smelling the smell of alcohol...
Nakamori Akina brought a towel, wiped Nagayama Naoki's face, and then made a cup of hot tea:
"So how did things go?"
"Haha, he was fooled by me, and the matter was settled naturally!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"...You men talk about things to see if the other person is drunk?!" Akina Nakamori shook her head, feeling that she couldn't understand Naoki Nagayama's world.
"This is just one aspect, mainly because there are other conditions."
Nagayama Naoki briefly explained what happened, and then realized that Akina seemed to be distracted, so he stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms:
"Akina-chan, do you have something to tell me?"
"Well..." Akina Nakamori nodded, "Naoki-san... I have renewed my contract with Kenyin!"
"Oh? Do you agree to the conditions?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Everything else has been agreed, but when it comes to shares, there is a betting agreement..." Akina Nakamori told Naoki Nagayama the betting conditions for the performance to reach 60%.
"Naoki-san, I agreed to the conditions and renewed my contract with Yanyin. You won't be angry, right?"
"??" Nagayama Naoki was still thinking about whether this condition was an option incentive linked to performance, but suddenly he felt strange when he heard this, "Since Akina agreed, there must be her own reasons. Why am I angry?"
"Didn't Naoki-san say that if Kenyin didn't agree, he would sign me up as a tree friend?" Akina Nakamori looked up at her boyfriend, "But I still chose Kenyin..."
"Haha, is that all?"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and pinched the bridge of Akina's delicate nose, feeling tender and smooth on his fingertips. The girlfriend in his arms shook her head and avoided Naoki Nagayama's mischievous hand.
"Of course I'm not angry!" Naoki Nagayama hugged his girlfriend tightly again, "I said I wanted to sign Akina here to put pressure on Kenyin so that they could agree to the conditions we proposed."
"But purely from the actual situation of Yanyin and Shuyou, Yanyin still has an advantage."
Naoki Nagayama sat up straight and analyzed with Akina,
"Yanyin currently only has one pillar, Mingna, and all resources belong to Mingna of course. Shuyou has six or seven developing artists. Although Mingna's resources will be skewed when Mingna comes, there is no uniqueness in sharing with others.
Enjoy it~”
"Although they appear to be medium-sized firms, the Sasakawa Foundation is behind Yanyin after all. Its potential and foundation are much deeper than those of Shuyu, which was established two or three years ago."
Nagayama Naoki pointed at himself: "Your man started from scratch...there is no support behind him!"
"Pfft..." Akina Nakamori laughed and kissed her boyfriend comfortingly, "Naoki-san is already very powerful!"
"...."
I always feel that this comfort is a bit strange... Naoki Nagayama shook his head:
"In a few years, Shuyou will definitely have more knowledge than Yanyin! When Akina is unhappy, just come to me directly!"
"Hmm~"
Knowing that her boyfriend would not be angry and that he only thought about herself, Akina Nakamori felt very happy. The two began to chat sweetly again.
"Naoki-san, I will be busy again for a while~"
"Well, it's the end of the year~"
"Probably won't come back until after midnight!"
"Stupid tape!"
"Naoki-san might have already fallen asleep by that time!"
