Chapter 1050

~13 min read 2,446 words

Time passed day by day, and the weather became hotter and hotter.

Eitaro lay on the floor, panting with his mouth open, and Miaotaro also abandoned his favorite veranda, hiding in the cool gap under the veranda, and only returned to the house at night.

In fact, after the renovation, the cold and heat insulation effects of Shanying Yuan were very good. The surrounding green bamboos were quiet, the cherry trees in the courtyard were lush, and there was a pond in the courtyard...

As long as you don't exercise, it's still very comfortable.

Akina dragged her heavy body and walked for a while, and she was already sweaty. When Mrs. Mari Nonaka saw it, she hurriedly brought her a towel to wipe it~

"Naoki-san, let's turn on the air conditioning!"

"Not now..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head. The baby was going to be born in a few weeks. What if she caught a cold from the air conditioning? "Wait another two weeks..."

"..."

"Acting like a spoiled child won't work either~"

After wiping with a wet towel, he brought an electric fan for Akina, shaking it, and then ate the fruit brought by Mari Nonaka, which was juicy, cool, and thirst-quenching.

Akina sat on the rattan chair, gently stroking her belly, feeling the baby's increasing fetal movements. This little guy couldn't wait to come to this world~

"Finally, it's almost time to be born!"

At this time, Akina didn't have the expectation of wanting to see the baby immediately, but rather the expectation of unloading the cargo... After all, except for the first few months when there was not much burden, after the middle and late stages, it was equivalent to carrying a burden every day, and she would continue to gain weight...

After carrying it for more than half a year, she really couldn't help it!

"I'll be relaxed in two weeks!"

Looking at Akina's very expectant look about giving birth, Naoki Nagayama was a little afraid to tell her the truth... She wouldn't think that everything would be fine after giving birth, would she...

She wouldn't think that she could drink, chat, sing, dance, and go everywhere after that!

After giving birth, there is breastfeeding, coaxing to sleep, changing diapers, playing along, breastfeeding, coaxing to sleep, changing diapers, playing along... It's a continuous cycle!

Although Naoki Nagayama has money and can help reduce many things about taking care of newborns, there are still some things that need to be done by Akina herself~

"Akina~" Naoki Nagayama reached out and touched her belly, feeling the baby's movements, and sighed, "After she comes out, if you want to beat her, I definitely won't stop you!"

"..."

Akina was stunned for a moment, then threw Naoki Nagayama's hand away in disgust, and then said to the baby in her belly,

"Ai-chan, Daddy is talking nonsense. I wouldn't bear to beat you!"

"..."

Heh... Naoki Nagayama had never seen a mother who didn't beat her children...

The manuscript of "Jurassic Park" had been with Shogakukan for a long time.

Editor-in-chief Kuniharu Morikawa called to praise the novel to the skies, even saying that this novel pioneered another trend in science fiction, and that monster novels with dinosaurs as a selling point would definitely spring up in the future...

Yes, there will be more and more monsters like Godzilla, Ghidorah, and Anguirus in the future~

Huh? You say they are not dinosaurs?

Godzilla's huge mouth, full of teeth, disproportionate hands, long tail, and domineering roar... If this is not a distant relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, what is it?!

Don't stop recognizing it just because its diet has changed, okay?!

"Anyway... Naoki-san~" Kuniharu Morikawa's tone was a bit excited. "This time our editor-in-chief said that we are going to give 'Jurassic Park' unprecedented promotion!"

"Pre-sales, book signings, giveaways, foreign channels, TV promotion... everything must be done!"

"This novel will be the most important book for Shogakukan this year!"

"..."

Listening to Kuniharu Morikawa's passionate words, Naoki Nagayama opened his mouth, and a sentence was held back... Actually, there is no need to attach so much importance to it... He didn't really want to be in the limelight...

For Naoki Nagayama now, he has earned money, has love, and is about to have children... The rest should be quiet years, happy forever...

He didn't really have much motivation for things like showing his face and becoming the center of the topic.

However, Kuniharu Morikawa was so enthusiastic and wholeheartedly thinking for him, so he was embarrassed to pour cold water on him.

"Naoki-san!"

A call came from the phone, bringing Naoki Nagayama back to his senses.

"Ah?"

"When we were chatting before, did you say you bought an island and planned to transform it into a dinosaur-themed park?"

"Uh... I do have such an idea~"

He had other things on his hands during this time and was too busy, so he hadn't gone to find a design studio yet~

"Great!" Kuniharu Morikawa was very happy. "When can it open? If the launch can be held in the dinosaur park, it will definitely be more appropriate!"

"This... it is estimated to take a long time... it definitely won't catch up..."

Naoki Nagayama smacked his lips. If such a large uninhabited island were transformed into a Jurassic Park, the design alone would take half a year... Plus construction and renovation, it might take a year or two~

"Eh? How can it not catch up?"

Kuniharu Morikawa was a little surprised. In his impression, for a theme park, wouldn't it be okay to build some roads, put up a few dinosaur statues, and plant some green trees? At most, build an exhibition hall...

"That island is a bit big..." Naoki Nagayama said, "And according to the ideas in my mind, there are a lot of things to build..."

"..."

Kuniharu Morikawa paused.

"Naoki-san, you don't want to build a park similar to Disneyland, do you?!"

"Hahaha, that's not it!"

"Haha, that's true... Disneyland is so complicated..."

Kuniharu Morikawa also relaxed and smiled... feeling that his thoughts were a bit exaggerated. Disneyland is the top theme park!

How could Naoki-san build such a large amusement park that benchmarks against Disneyland by himself...

Who knew he would hear Naoki Nagayama continue to say:

"Yes, there are no fairy tale characters like princesses and princes. Our theme is dinosaurs! There are not so many amusement facilities... At most, we can set up a tour train in the park..."

"..."

That is to say, the scale is about the same, right... It really benchmarks against Disneyland!

Kuniharu Morikawa understood now. The ideas of rich people are really different from those of ordinary people~

"Yes, Naoki-san, I understand... There is no hope for the theme park for the time being!"

"Mm-hmm~"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama fell into silent contemplation, making Akina next to him confused.

"Naoki-san... shouldn't you go to Tree Friend?"

It's like this every day. After breakfast, he would stay for a while and then go to the Tree Friend Building, and then go to teach Hezi and the others how to make milk tea...

"Today, there are other things..."

Thanks to Kuniharu Morikawa's reminder, he remembered that he still had an island to plan!

"Eh?"

Naoki Nagayama stood up and prepared to go out. When he passed Akina, he kissed his wife's cheek.

"I'm going to the Honma Design Studio today... to build a park for my princess!"

"..."

Akina was extremely happy. Princess and all that~

She didn't know that Naoki Nagayama was referring to the baby in her belly...

Driving, he came to the Honma Design Studio after a long absence.

It stands to reason that after so many years, Takashi Honma should have made a lot of money. Why hasn't this studio changed?

The orders Naoki Nagayama gave them personally should have earned hundreds of millions, not to mention the design and decoration business of KTV, and the commercial real estate projects of Tree Friend Capital...

It should have become a medium or even large design workshop!

After Naoki Nagayama parked the car and walked in, he found that there was no front desk. The large studio didn't look empty because it was divided into several workstations, and people were busy...

After seeing Naoki Nagayama come in, the young man sitting closest to the door immediately stood up:

"Sumimasen, this is Honma Design Studio. May I ask if you are here to..."

Just as he was speaking, he heard a voice from a slightly larger workstation inside:

"Songhong-kun, I will receive this guest..."

"Ah, yes!"

Takashi Makino watched Naoya Sakata walk over quickly and greeted him enthusiastically:

"Naoki-san, long time no see..."

"Sakata-san, hisashiburi..." Naoki Nagayama shook hands with a smile and looked around. "There are a lot more people in the studio!"

"Haha, it's all thanks to Naoki-san... There are too many orders and a shortage of manpower..."

Naoya Sakata diligently led Naoki Nagayama to the only reception room to sit down, and then went to make tea and get snacks.

"So this year Honma-san hired several junior designers to help..."

Fortunately, the design of KTV and the like is not very difficult. Once there is a template, you just need to adjust it according to the actual situation.

"Why isn't Honma-san here?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Honma-san went to France to attend the Architectural Expo."

Naoya Sakata sat down and chatted with Naoki Nagayama.

"Now material science is developing faster and faster, and there are many new building materials..."

"Haha, I see..."

"How is Naoki-san's Red Fish Court?"

"It was very good when I stayed there last year... I haven't stayed there this year..."

"..."

After continuing to chat about the projects designed and built before, and after drinking a few sips of tea and eating a few snacks, Naoki Nagayama finally stated the main purpose of coming today.

"Sakata-san... I recently bought another piece of land..."

"..."

When Naoya Sakata heard this, he always felt a sense of déjà vu. Had Naoki Nagayama said this before?

"Haha, congratulations~"

Naoya Sakata immediately expressed his congratulations and also understood the purpose of Naoki Nagayama's visit today.

"Naoki-san, what do you want to build this time? Apartment? Vacation house? Courtyard?"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"None of them..."

Naoya Sakata felt tight in his heart, a little nervous and a little expectant, and said with a laugh:

"Haha, you don't want to build a skyscraper, do you?"

You know, building a skyscraper is the most high-end and top-notch project in the architectural design industry. What can surpass it is probably the restoration of famous ancient buildings like Notre Dame de Paris or super-large projects like exhibition centers.

"Haha, no skyscraper for now~" Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. "Maybe when Tree Friend takes another step forward, we might be able to build one..."

In fact, with Tree Friend's current scale, it's about time to build a skyscraper. Putting Tree Friend Film, Tree Friend Entertainment, Tree Friend Capital, Tree Friend Real Estate, etc., all together, there are nearly a thousand people...

If we start construction now, maybe we can move in directly after Tree Friend's animation business and theme park business are all up and running.

Let's discuss with Otomo-san later to see if we should plan ahead~

"Sakata-san, I bought an uninhabited island." Naoki Nagayama said to Naoya Sakata. "I came here today because I want to ask Honma Design Studio to help design a theme park!"

"Theme park?" Naoya Sakata was stunned.

"Yes, it's similar to Disneyland, but it's a dinosaur-themed park..."

Naoki Nagayama directly brought out the inspiration he got when chatting with Kuniharu Morikawa before.

"With the scenery of the Jurassic period as the main feature..."

"..."

After hearing this, Naoya Sakata even felt it was a bit of a fantasy.

"Naoki-san... you bought an island... and want to build a dinosaur theme park?"

"Mm-hmm, yes!"

"A theme park that benchmarks against Disneyland?"

"Haha, I don't mean to compete with Disneyland. The area is about the same, but we are in the Jurassic era, with more dinosaurs and vegetation... There are not so many fairy tale characters like Disneyland, it's Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, etc..."

"..." He said he wouldn't mention Disneyland, but every sentence couldn't leave it!

Naoya Sakata picked up the teacup and took a big sip. The boiling tea made him wince and wake up. Only then did he say to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, we don't have much experience in building parks..."

"Haha, I understand... But didn't we have no experience with the Red Fish Court before? It was built very well!" Naoki Nagayama encouraged. "Parks are also composed of buildings!"

"..."

"If Sakata-san and Honma-san have no experience, you can also find experienced personnel to cooperate~"

Naoki Nagayama said. In fact, he could also find the design team that designed Disneyland, but old friends are better than new ones...

After working with Honma Design Studio for a long time, he was too lazy to change teams, otherwise it would be very troublesome in the end... He felt that he had been assimilated by Neon's human relationships~

"Yes, I understand..."

Naoya Sakata nodded silently. He still remembered the original Honma Architectural Design Office, which was just a small studio for house design. But after cooperating with Naoki Nagayama, it slowly expanded from residential houses to Western-style houses, then to courtyards, vacation houses, shops, nightclubs...

Just like this, step by step, he was pushed to expand his business, and every time he made everyone rack their brains... Now it's a theme park... In the future, maybe he will really start designing skyscrapers, industrial parks, etc.!

Honma-san and himself, from ordinary first-class architects, are about to become famous architectural designers!

This kind of growth is painful and happy!!!

"Naoki-san... I only have one question now!" Naoya Sakata's eyes were firm. "Where is the island located?! I want to go to the site for a survey first! When Honma-san comes back, I will communicate with him!"

"Great!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and took out a document bag, which contained the land situation of the uninhabited island.

"It's in the Seto Inland Sea! Not far from Ehime Prefecture..."

"Yes!" Naoya Sakata took the document, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he was about to step into a new world~

"I'll leave it to Sakata-san and Honma-san in the future!" Naoki Nagayama said. "If possible, I hope there can be a preliminary design plan before the end of this year..."

"My novel 'Jurassic Park' is about to be published. I will send you a few copies then, maybe it can give you some inspiration~"

"I understand..."
