Chapter 1116

~14 min read 2,639 words

Perhaps because he was tired of doing year-end summary PPTs in his previous life, when Tree Friend issued year-end bonuses, Naoki Nagayama never wanted to use so-called PPTs to score, and it took a long time to do year-end summaries.

Originally, the monthly performance scores are all here, the year's work performance is clear at a glance, plus giving some rewards to some particularly outstanding employees and backbones... The year-end bonus distribution plan is very concise and clear, and it doesn't take much time.

So on the first Friday of December, the award day of the Tree Friend Group was already prepared.

"After the year-end bonus this year, don't hold any 'forget-the-year party', right?"

On the day of issuing the year-end bonus, Naoki Nagayama was still saying to Otomo Yoshimura,

"This form of year-end summary is too bureaucratic and too troublesome!"

The forget-the-year party is the annual meeting of Japan, generally held in the second half of December... It is an internal year-end summary activity of the company, and also a banquet for communication and relaxation between employees...

Because employees can use the excuse of being drunk on this day to "forget" the difference in age and rank, and directly criticize some behaviors of superiors and senior employees, so it is called "forget-the-year party".

"But... this is the traditional culture of Japanese companies!"

Otomo Yoshimura came from a traditional company and still cared about these forms.

"But, we are not a traditional company!"

Naoki Nagayama shrugged. Under his leadership, Tree Friend can be said to have lost the strict distinction between superiors and subordinates in many Japanese companies, and the whole Tree Friend is strictly maintaining the culture of "everyone is equal under the three".

"But... the forget-the-year party is a day for communication between the company's upper management and employees..."

"Don't Otomo-san communicate with employees at ordinary times?" Naoki Nagayama led the topic to Xiu-san Yin, who was eating melons. "Yesterday I saw Xiu-san bragging with screenwriter Kota Ueda!"

"......"

Xiu-san Yin's face stiffened,

"Cough cough... what bragging! I am popularizing knowledge!"

"Popularizing which nightclub is wilder?!"

"Naoki-san, you... you are slandering me!!" Xiu-san Yin looked at Otomo Yoshimura, "Otomo-san, Naoki-san is slandering me!"

"...... Isn't what I said a fact?"

"I think Naoki-san actually just doesn't want to listen to employees' complaints!"

"What complaints do they have about me?! Am I not good to them?"

"......."

Otomo Yoshimura sighed, feeling that his two executives were very unreliable!

"But Naoki-san... after a year, you always have to give employees a chance to be happy together! At least let everyone be happy."

Otomo Yoshimura still advised,

"And, the company annual meeting is actually a necessary publicity measure. The choice of location and form can let the industry see Tree Friend's wealth!"

Why do those big companies in later generations like to hold annual meetings, and even charter planes to go abroad? It doesn't matter if you spend tens of millions? Even wishing to broadcast the whole process?

Actually, it is the same as the ancient big family having any happy event, moving is to open a three-day flowing banquet... It is also similar to showing off the sixth-generation machine and sending Dongfeng express.

Show your strength (financial resources) to others, and improve your status and fame in the circle~

The ultimate goal is to make opponents afraid to offend at will!!!

"Hmm..." Naoki Nagayama scratched the corner of his eye, "Speaking of this, it makes sense..."

"Right~" Otomo Yoshimura breathed a sigh of relief, "So it still has to be opened..."

"How about!"

Naoki Nagayama slapped his thigh and suddenly came up with a good idea,

"Let's hold a concert directly as a benefit for all employees!"

"...... Eh?"

Otomo Yoshimura and Xiu-san Yin both looked over,

"Naoki-san means, let employees perform on stage?"

Xiu-san Yin also nodded along:

"Indeed, our Tree Friend has idols like Shizuka Kudo and Junko Ito... and singers like Yutaka Ozaki and Izumi Sakai..."

(Shizuka Kudo + Izumi Sakai full of question marks: So the benefit for employees is to let employees perform themselves? Self-produced and self-sold?)

"No no no..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Since it is a benefit for Tree Friend employees, how can they perform themselves?!"

Then he stood up and walked to the window and waved his hand:

"We invite artists from other companies to perform!"

"This concert, all Tree Friend employees are consumers!"

"......"

"......."

The office was silent for a while, and only Otomo Yoshimura rubbed his temples:

"Naoki-san, let's sort it out..."

"You mean, Tree Friend's forget-the-year party is changed to a concert form, inviting artists from other companies in the industry to perform for all Tree Friend employees?!"

"Yeah! How about it... we pay them to perform!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed,

"This time, the entire entertainment industry can feel Tree Friend's wealth!"

"......"

The remaining two looked at each other...

Indeed, the entire entertainment industry can feel the provocation!!!

Naoki Nagayama threw a firecracker into the already turbulent entertainment industry dyeing vat, making everyone jump up!

If you play like this, in order to cover up Tree Friend's limelight, will Johnny's let Yoshimoto Kogyo's comedians tell Manzai?

Will Watanabe Agency let Burning idols perform dancing?

Will Toho and Toei fight because of the actors' schedules?!

"Naoki-san..." Otomo Yoshimura adjusted his glasses, "This... think twice before acting!"

But Xiu-san Yin on the other side laughed:

"Hahaha, think about what! I think that now Tree Friend should do this... We are in the entertainment industry! How can we not do such explosive and happy things!"

"Hahaha, yeah yeah, how interesting! Let the entertainment industry perform for our Tree Friend!"

The idea proposed by the backbone, and there is a supporting role, the management triangle of Tree Friend has already agreed to two...

Then Otomo Yoshimura, who has always been honest and steady, was gradually infected by this idea, and even he himself became a little excited.

Let the entire entertainment industry perform for me to see!!!

At that time, sitting in the first row of the audience, he will definitely laugh very happily!

"Since Naoki-san said so... then after the year-end bonus is issued, I will start planning and executing!"

Otomo Yoshimura suppressed his strange mood and continued,

"But today, let's distribute the year-end bonus to them!"

"Okay~" X2

Those well-informed fans don't know what's going on, they can always get the idol's itinerary, so when fans gather outside the Tree Friend building, passersby know that today there must be an idol or artist coming to the headquarters.

And when a large number of fans gather outside the Tree Friend building, it means that more than one popular idol must have returned to the building!

On today's year-end bonus day, even a popular idol like Shizuka Kudo specially vacated half a day's schedule to return to the company to get a year-end bonus.

Although this year-end bonus is not as good as her advertising dividends and record dividends, it is proof that she is a member of Tree Friend.

Even a newcomer like Izumi Sakai who has only joined Tree Friend for a few months has a year-end bonus!

Izumi Sakai also saw many artists who usually couldn't see in the lounge... You know, the schedules of popular idols like Shizuka Kudo are very busy, and they usually don't return to the headquarters.

"Do we newcomers have it too?" Izumi Sakai asked her agent.

"Everyone has it~"

"Horiuchi-san... is the year-end bonus issued by Naoki Nagayama personally?"

"It seems that Naoki-san and the others only issue to the backbone... Others are issued by the ministers of each department."

In fact, Isao Horiuchi is not sure, he also came within a year.

"Direct cash?"

"Should be..."

There is no electronic remittance in this era, even the salary is issued directly to the hand in a kraft paper envelope every month. As for the dividends of high-level executives, they are directly hit into the account... If all are remittance slips, the handling fee is too expensive.

As batches of employees went to the finance room, the atmosphere in the building became more and more enthusiastic. Extroverted people held thick kraft envelopes and laughed loudly, and talked about the arrangements for going on vacation......

"Shizuka-chan, Junko-chan, Yuki-chan... Izumi-chan..."

Kie Ochiai notified all the artists under her banner to the lounge,

"Everyone come with me... You have to be on the top floor!"

"!!!" "Top floor" "Is it really issued by Naoki-san personally?" "...."

And in Naoki Nagayama's office, Otomo Yoshimura and Xiu-san Yin and three others have already met Masami Inada, Tetsuya Komuro, Masataka Komori, Toshihiko Sugiyama and other middle-level personnel here, and now they have started to meet various artists.

"So good... reminds me of when I got a year-end bonus from the company, that day was really happy!"

Xiu-san Yin looked at the happy back of Toshihiko Sugiyama leaving and sighed,

"I can't experience the joy of getting a year-end bonus!"

"....."

Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, he had also received a year-end bonus, but where is the joy of issuing a year-end bonus like this?!

"Xiu-san... come..."

Naoki Nagayama took advantage of his sadness and autumn to extract an empty kraft envelope, put a coin in it, and handed it to Xiu-san Yin,

"Your year-end bonus!"

"......." Xiu-san Yin took it confusedly, and then poured out a 10-yen coin... couldn't speak for a while.

"Hahaha~"

Otomo Yoshimura laughed, looking at his good friend and saying,

"Xiu-san, are you happy now?!"

"..... I......" Xiu-san Yin's face turned black, and he was about to start, "Naoki-san, let's be happy together!"

"Don't don't don't... the next one is coming soon!"

It was also at this time that the office door was knocked... I saw Tree Friend's current idol number one, Shizuka Kudo, walked in.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Xiu-san..."

Shizuka Kudo is 16 years old now, she has grown up to be agile and beautiful, and she also has some cunning. She smiled and looked at the executives,

"Sashiburi... I'm here to get the year-end bonus!"

"Ah... Shizuka-chan!" Otomo Yoshimura found a thick envelope from the table and handed it over with both hands, "You worked hard this year, this is your year-end bonus~"

"Arigato!"

Taking the envelope, she knew that there was at least a million yen in it. Shizuka Kudo showed a dragon king-style crooked mouth smile, and her heart was very excited.

She is not an adult yet, so the salary and dividends paid to her by the company are kept in a custodial account, supervised by both parents and the company, and can only be used after she becomes an adult.

Of course, daily travel, clothing, and food are provided by the company. Before that, there was only a few hundred thousand pocket money and living expenses every month... So getting a million yen at once made people overjoyed!

"Shizuka-chan... is the work pressure high this year?"

As the boss of Tree Friend, Naoki Nagayama naturally wants to care about the artists with potential under his banner.

"This year... there is a lot more work, but it can still be endured." Shizuka Kudo looked at her president and said.

Before Akina Nakamori returned, the idol industry was a battle between her and Yukiko Okada. For the sake of exposure, of course, it was a battle for you, and there was no leisure for a moment.

And after Akina Nakamori returned at the end of the year, she actually relaxed a lot...

"Are you going to the Red and White Song Festival this year too? How is the preparation?"

"Already passed the first rehearsal...."

"....."

Then asked about life problems, as well as plans for next year, etc. In addition to Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura also encouraged a few words and drew a big cake, which allowed Shizuka Kudo to leave.

After people went out, Otomo Yoshimura sighed:

"Always feel... Shizuka-chan's potential should be more than current popularity... but always feel that it can't go up..."

Xiu-san Yin interjected:

"Is it trying to expand Shizuka-chan in film and television? For example, next year's movie project? TV series are also fine..."

Otomo Yoshimura nodded and looked at Naoki Nagayama:

"Originally this was the plan... Shizuka-chan has reached the top in the idol industry... can't exceed Akina-chan..."

"Wait two more years..." Naoki Nagayama said, "After she falls in love with someone, the topic will definitely increase greatly! Maybe it will exceed Akina~"

"Eh?! Naoki-san, what are you talking about!" "Think Shizuka-chan can also find a 'playboy Naoki'?" "Scandal or something is indeed a good way to increase heat..." "But the requirements for the other party are also very high..."

Otomo Yoshimura and Xiu-san Yin discussed, and unanimously agreed that if there is no other party who has the same topic and popularity as Naoki Nagayama, Shizuka Kudo will never exceed Akina Nakamori!

"Hahaha, just talk about it."

The man known as the most handsome in Japan has not appeared yet, Naoki Nagayama shook his head, did not continue to explain, and shouted outside the door,

"Next!"

Next, Junko Ito, Yuki Saito, Momoko Kikuchi, etc. all came over, but Chikako Aoyama could not come in person because she was stepping up the filming of "Once a Thief"...

The three executives in the office also asked about the situation this year kindly, and then offered the year-end bonus...

After waiting until the end, after encouraging the little loli Rie Miyazawa, it was finally Izumi Sakai's turn.

"Izumi-chan~"

Naoki Nagayama saw this young lady who seemed to have lost some weight, and asked gently,

"How is it, have you adapted to the life of the entertainment industry?"

"This... is adapting..." Izumi Sakai said slightly cautiously, "It's completely different from the previous life..."

"Are there any problems in work and life? You can tell us, we will help you solve them!"

"No no, the company's arrangements are very reasonable... Horiuchi-san gave a lot of help..." Izumi Sakai waved her hand, "Just not used to it..."

"From school to the workplace, it really takes an adaptation period." Naoki Nagayama comforted with a smile, "When I came out to work after graduating from high school, I almost became depressed!"

"Eh...... Naoki-san is also like this?"

"Of course, making money has never been easy..." Naoki Nagayama took Izumi Sakai's year-end bonus and handed it to her, "However... after making money, you will be very happy! Don't you think?"

"This is your year-end bonus, and encouragement for outstanding newcomers!"

"Arigato!" Izumi Sakai took the envelope and felt much more at ease~

This kraft envelope is not as thick as Shizuka Kudo's before, but at least there are 400,000 yen, which is more than a month's salary for her newcomer who has only worked for a few months.

"Looking forward to Izumi-chan's journey next year!"

"Hai!"

After all the year-end bonuses for middle and high levels were issued, Otomo Yoshimura and Xiu-san Yin breathed a sigh of relief:

"Finally over! Issuing money is really a tiring job!"

Naoki Nagayama lay on the boss chair and asked: "How much did Tree Friend's year-end bonus issue in total?"

"A total of 120 million!"

The original 80 million was just a preliminary estimate,

"Ah... it's 100 million..."

Three houses were issued...

"Naoki-san, let's have a big meal tonight! Let's go out for a drink and relax!"

"No... you guys go to relax, I still have to go to Tree Friend Capital... have to talk about bonuses with those guys... This is more exhausting than us..."

And those guys at Tree Friend Capital, who earn more and share more, the bonus of the investment bank... one is more than a dozen here!
