Chapter 1046: University students, they're dumb and easy to fool~

~14 min read 2,682 words

Naoki Nagayama bought another storefront, located near the "Bungeiza" cinema in Ikebukuro, not too far from the Tree Friend building~

It used to be a street-side coffee shop, a small shop of only about 10-something tsubo, but it actually cost 50 million yen. Tokyo's housing prices had risen too fiercely during this period...

But fortunately, Tree Friend Capital had started purchasing commercial real estate ahead of time before last year, and the number of properties purchased now was uncountable~

However, Naoki Nagayama wanted to open a milk tea shop himself in this storefront, so it wasn't placed in Tree Friend Capital's assets, but under his own personal studio.

"Sink... freezer... ice maker... plastic sealing machine... juicer... milk tea bucket... fructose... tea leaves..."

On the weekend, Naoki Nagayama came to this storefront that he had entrusted to a renovation company to renovate.

Checking the ordered items, they were all placed and ready for use at any time. And since it was originally a coffee shop, there were already operation counters and cash registers, and some equipment could still be used, such as solid wood tables and chairs.

Only the storefront sign needed to be changed, and after the business license was obtained, it could open for business!

"Mm... just need to find two clear-eyed and foolish female university student servers to make milk tea, and it can start operating!"

Naoki Nagayama checked it out, tested the water and electricity situation, and then stood at the entrance with his hands on his hips, satisfied.

"Mixue Milk Tea... mm, sounds very sweet!"

The brand of Heilongtang was naturally left to the Nagayama Group. The milk tea shop Naoki Nagayama opened himself was purely for tasting, so he named it Mixue.

Originally, he wanted to sell milk tea at Sanmeiju, but considering that Sanmeiju itself had to raise its grade, he put milk tea, a product for young people, in Ikebukuro.

With so many young people, someone would definitely like it!

"Naoki-san~"

A sweet call came from outside the door. A woman who was six months pregnant was at the entrance, wearing a loose dress that covered her body well, a sun hat on her head, and large sunglasses on her face...

Akina walked in carrying a basket of fruit, panting slightly:

"It's really hot... it's not even midsummer yet and it's so hot..."

"It's already the end of June, of course it's hot~"

Naoki Nagayama quickly took the fruit basket and let Akina sit down to rest... Today he said he was going to see the milk tea shop, and Akina insisted on following him, saying she wanted to get some air... and go buy fruit...

Getting air in this hot weather!

In the end, of course, she followed him out... driving that low-key AE86...

Watching the mother of his child constantly fanning her face with her hand, Naoki Nagayama turned on the electric fan, then took two perfume lemons from the fruit basket:

"Akina, watch me make you a hand-beaten lemon tea today!"

You know, for a drink like hand-beaten lemon tea, the most important thing is to have strength and beat the lemon into a pulp... Fortunately, Naoki Nagayama had always kept exercising, so he still had muscles.

So after ten-something minutes, both of them were sitting on the chairs in the shop, drinking cool, sour, and sweet hand-beaten lemon tea, watching the young people passing by on the street one after another~

"Naoki-san, are you looking for someone to open the shop?"

"Mm, but recruiting is very troublesome. I have to train them on how to make milk tea... and prevent them from leaking the secret recipe~"

Naoki Nagayama shrugged. Although there were already some dessert shops and shops selling milk tea in Japan now, the various milk tea drinks Naoki Nagayama was going to make, such as Earl Grey milk tea, silk stocking milk tea, boba milk green tea, etc., were all very fresh!

Although it was ultimately unavoidable that it would leak out, he would drag it out for as long as he could~

Thinking about having to teach people, Naoki Nagayama felt a bit annoyed...

"Are you recruiting university students?"

Akina looked at another group of young university students passing by, feeling slightly envious in her heart. After all, in the eyes of a poor student, university students were already top students.

"Mm~"

Naoki Nagayama also looked at the university students outside, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

"Especially university students who haven't graduated yet, they are dumb and easy to fool, have strong learning ability, won't clamor for a raise, and even if they get sick, they will go see a doctor themselves before coming back to work. They are really good coolies!"

"..."

Akina opened her eyes wide. Naoki-san, what are you saying?!

People have studied hard for more than ten years to go to university, and in your eyes, they are high-quality coolies?!

Just when Akina wanted to refute, Naoki Nagayama suddenly heard a familiar voice, as if saying something.

"Junshui-chan, I'm telling you, that blue AE86 is definitely Nii-chan's!"

"..." "Hezi, can't you remember the license plate?" Another female voice was a bit helpless. "Besides, how could Naoki-san be here..."

"Nii-chan's house has so many cars, how can I remember so many license plates!"

Hezi said with justification, but she was still very sure about that car.

"I've only seen a blue AE86 once in Tokyo, and that was in the garage of Shanyingyuan! So Nii-chan must be nearby!"

"Hai hai, maybe he brought Akina-chan to 'Bungeiza' to watch a movie... anyway, 'Bungeiza' is also under Tree Friend..."

Ishii Junshui pulled Hezi, who kept looking back, and walked toward the nearby Bungeiza. Hezi felt that her brother was nearby after seeing that family car parked on the side of the road...

Really, how could that be... in this hot weather, how could Naoki-san bring his pregnant wife out?!

What for?

Strolling or sunbathing?

To avoid the sun, Ishii Junshui pulled Hezi and walked quickly along the street, passing directly by a small street-side shop that didn't have a sign yet... seemed to be a coffee shop or a beverage shop?

Forget it, it's no big deal~

"Wait a minute!"

The two girls passed by the shop entrance without stopping. After walking less than a few meters, Hezi was stunned and suddenly pulled Ishii Junshui to a stop.

"What's wrong?" Ishii Junshui asked puzzled.

"Such a familiar feeling..."

Hezi smacked her lips, then slowly stepped back a few steps and turned to look into the shop...

In the empty little shop, two familiar figures were drinking beverages while laughing and looking at the entrance...

"Nii-chan? Akina?!!!"

Hezi shouted in surprise, and then for some reason suddenly turned her head and said triumphantly,

"Junshui-chan, look, I didn't say it wrong, right?! They really are nearby!"

"..."

Ishii Junshui shook her head helplessly. Why was her best friend always so serious about strange things?!

She and Hezi walked into the milk tea shop very surprised and asked Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori:

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan... why are you here?"

Naoki Nagayama bit the straw and said with a smile:

"Bringing Akina out to sunbathe~"

"..." Ishii Junshui felt that Hezi's brother must be able to read minds!

"Hahaha~" Seeing the stunned expression of the little girl, Akina laughed on the side, extremely happy. "Naoki-san, don't joke around~"

She then asked:

"Hezi-chan, Junshui-chan, are you here to watch a movie?"

"Yes~ the latest one~"

Hezi had already recovered from the surprise of meeting her brother and sister-in-law. At this time, she was excitedly looking at this milk tea shop, and then her eyes glanced at the hand-beaten lemon tea that Naoki Nagayama and Akina were drinking...

"Nii-chan, what are you drinking? I want to drink it too! Where is the boss?"

"..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. "I am!"

"???" Hezi and Ishii Junshui were even more surprised.

"This is a storefront Naoki-san just bought, preparing to open a milk tea shop~" Akina explained to Hezi and Ishii Junshui. "It was just renovated today, so we came to take a look..."

"Milk tea shop?" Hezi looked at Naoki Nagayama with a surprised look. "Is it very profitable?"

Naoki Nagayama shook the hand-beaten lemon tea and said mysteriously:

"Profiteering!"

"!!!" X2

Regarding the dissolution of the Nagayama Group, Hezi naturally knew, but she hadn't been told about the Nagayama Group opening a milk tea chain. Everyone else in the family didn't want her to have any involvement with the yakuza~

So now Yongshan Hezi completely didn't know about the milk tea shop... In her eyes, it was just her own brother actually coming to Ikebukuro to open a small street-side shop!

You know, Naoki Nagayama was a billionaire who sat on the Tree Friend Group, an entertainment group, and also had investment institutions under his name. In Hezi's heart, her own brother already had more money than he could spend~

Such a billionaire actually wanted to open a milk tea shop? Could it be that the tea leaves were made of gold?!

Akina on the side pulled Hezi and Junshui to sit down, and then secretly signaled Naoki Nagayama to make another hand-beaten lemon tea for the two... Under Akina's eye attack, Naoki Nagayama had to do it again...

"Naoki-san is doing it to open a milk tea experience shop..." Akina introduced to the two. "He wants to open a chain later, but it's a business matter... I don't know much about it..."

"Mm..."

Listening to the click-clack sound in the operation counter, seeing her brother pounding ice and lemons with force, Hezi showed an incredible expression on her face...

"Nii-chan can also make milk tea?"

"There's a lot I can do!"

Naoki Nagayama's hand movements didn't stop. With the force of a miracle, the ice and lemons were quickly mixed together~

Because of the previous preparation, making milk tea this time was much faster.

He quickly put the two drinks into disposable plastic cups, sealed them, and handed them to the two girls:

"Na... Naoki Nagayama's special, hand-beaten lemon tea! Please enjoy!"

"Arigato~" X2

Hezi used a straw to pierce the thin seal, then took a sip of the hand-beaten lemon tea... The finely crushed ice and milk tea entered her mouth at the same time. Cool, fragrant, milky, tea-scented, sour and sweet, aftertaste... the wonderful taste of milk tea instantly conquered the two girls.

"Oishii!!!" X2

Sure enough, young people love milk tea the most!

"Nii-chan, where did you learn it?!"

"Hehe, of course it's... a secret recipe researched by myself!"

Hezi's gaze toward her brother became even more admiring, even surpassing his ability to make money...

And at this time, Naoki Nagayama looked at the girl who was conquered by milk tea and her best friend, and an idea suddenly emerged!

These two were university students, familiar with him, and very free...

"Hezi, Junshui-chan~ Do you want to learn how to make hand-beaten lemon tea?"

"Can we?!" Hezi and Ishii Junshui looked over in surprise. This was a secret recipe, something the shop had to keep secret!

"Hehe, not only hand-beaten lemon tea, but also four-season milk green tea, grass jelly, sweet strawberry..."

Naoki Nagayama casually reported the single items of various well-known milk teas in the future. Although most of them hadn't been made yet, the methods of how to make them had already been spread all over the streets in later generations!

He looked at Hezi and Junshui, as if he saw two coolies who brought their own dry rations:

"Not only can I teach you how to make milk tea, but you can also drink it for free until you're full!"

"Hontou?!"

"Really!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "As long as you work here!"

"..."

"Even if there is money at home..." Naoki Nagayama said to his sister and her best friend, "If university students don't work, their life experience will be missing a very important part!"

"Ha?"

"Learn how to make money, understand the hardship of earning money, and at the same time, you can learn a craft..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't stop talking.

"More importantly, you can increase your pocket money by double! Ah no, five times!"

He didn't doubt the profitability of the milk tea shop at all!

Akina, who was sitting on the side, smiled without saying a word. She watched her husband fooling others like this, and didn't know why she was so happy... Actually, Akina was sometimes very black-bellied~

After Naoki Nagayama explained to Hezi and Ishii Junshui that the milk tea shop hadn't started operating yet, etc...

And then told them that they could use this as a short-term internship for summer vacation work, and that the money earned during this period would belong to them, which made the two agree.

"Then starting tomorrow, I will come over in the morning to teach you how to make milk tea..." Naoki Nagayama said to Hezi and Ishii Junshui. "When summer vacation comes, Mixue Milk Tea will officially open!"

"Hai!" X2

The two milk tea sisters for the early stage of Mixue, didn't they just have them!

After returning to Shanyingyuan, Naoki Nagayama called his cousin.

"Cousin Feng, how is the preparation for opening the milk tea shop on your side?"

"I have already transferred a sum of funds and bought small storefronts in Tokyo and cities like Shimizu and Kanagawa in Shizuoka..." Yongshan Feng said on the phone. "Then I'm preparing to gather some of the people who are willing to open shops at the ancestral home, preparing to train them centrally on how to make milk tea..."

Those who entered the Nagayama Group were basically local yakuza from Shizuoka, so naturally they didn't want to be too far from home... So Yongshan Feng mainly laid out in cities in Shizuoka.

"Mm, the first batch should be near the old home~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "However, big cities with many people like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka can also be tried... In the future, there will definitely be people who want to go to these big cities."

"Of course, I will pay attention~"

After Yongshan Feng returned to Tokyo, besides the daily operation of KTV, his main energy was spent on this.

Yongshan Xiong Yuan in Shizuoka had already started the dissolution of the underlings and the establishment of small organizations...

"I opened a milk tea experience shop in Ikebukuro, trying out the business situation during the summer vacation first..." Naoki Nagayama said. "Let Hezi work there..."

"Ha? Hezi?"

"Yes, anyway, summer vacation is coming... If she goes back to her old home, she will definitely sleep in every day..."

"Then you have to explain it to Nana-san... she has always been looking forward to Hezi going home to visit~"

Yongshan Feng had become much closer to his mother, Nana, after returning this time. After all, his mother went to help take care of his sick grandfather and injured uncle, and he was very grateful.

"She'll only be happy for three days~ After that, she'll be disgusted!" Naoki Nagayama didn't care. Anyway, Hezi could also pick a time to go back before summer vacation. "It's better to work and make money during the good time of summer vacation~"

"Maybe she wants to travel with her boyfriend~"

"I, as a brother, don't allow it! You, as a cousin, don't allow it either!"

"Hahahaha~"

"Is Xinhai-san's body okay now?"

"She can't sleep at night..."

"This is normal..."

After chatting about some family affairs, Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone.

Looking at the time on the clock, it was already five o'clock, and the sun outside the window was still intense. The wind blowing in was hot, making the cherry trees in the courtyard a bit withered...

Even Eitaro, who was always running around, had no energy, lying on the cool place of the eaves, opening his mouth and panting with his tongue out...

"Cicada... cicada... cicada..."

I don't know where a few cicada chirps came from, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sigh...

"The summer of Showa 61 has already arrived~" ===== CHAPTER 1047 =====
