Chapter 1280: When anxious, one should get dead drunk!!
"Naoki-san! Naoki-san!"
Tomo Ariyoshi's call brought Naoki Nagayama back from his daydream, and then he saw Tomo Ariyoshi take an unexpected look at the photo on the table,
"Who is this, that could make Naoki Nagayama, who has passed through ten thousand flowers but only has one leaf on his body, lose his mind?!"
"..."
The helpless Naoki Nagayama shook his head and closed the photo.
"It has nothing to do with the casting photos... It's another matter!"
Taking advantage of the weekend when Tree Friend Capital was not working, Naoki Nagayama came to the Tree Friend building to select various roles for the movie.
But he was an ordinary person after all. Most of his net worth, nearly 1.6 billion US dollars in funds, was all in the stock exchanges of various countries, waiting for the stock market disaster next Monday... He couldn't just act like nothing happened~
When you let Buffett bet all his money on an opportunity, he will also be nervous!
"What's wrong?"
Tomo Ariyoshi also put down the resumes of the roles and teased,
"What is it that can make our Naoki-san so restless?! Tell me and let me be happy..."
Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes:
"If it were you, you would also be restless!"
"Hehehe... It seems that Naoki-san is still too young and has too little experience~"
Tomo Ariyoshi leaned back tactically, looking like an old man who had nothing to fear,
"If you had the experience of half a lifetime like me, you would understand what it means to be calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you..."
Looking at his good friend's smug look, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but speak:
"The big stock market operation I mentioned before, where I invested all the money, is already underway, just waiting for the results next Monday...! Ariyoshi-san, your money is also in it! A full 1.2 billion!"
"When the market opens next Monday, either it will turn ten times, or lose most of the net worth!!"
"!!! Next Monday?!"
Hearing this, Tomo Ariyoshi's face changed, and his tone became sharp.
"My money is also in it?!!!"
"Yes! The previous preparatory operations have been completed, and it's already a fixed number!! The market doesn't open on the weekend, just waiting for the results next Monday!"
A smile appeared on Naoki Nagayama's face. Sure enough, smiles and anxiety would not disappear, but would be transferred!
Now Tomo Ariyoshi's face was replaced with a look of being worried about gains and losses, while he himself felt much calmer...
"Naoki-san!!! You're not joking, are you?!"
Tomo Ariyoshi at this time no longer had the demeanor of being calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him. He felt as if his heart had been suddenly pinched by something,
"Either earn ten times? Or..."
"Hmm, lose most of the net worth!!"
Naoki Nagayama said affirmatively. He was using futures contracts in stock exchanges in various countries. If the stock market didn't plummet next Monday, a large batch of contracts would explode~
"... Naoki-san..."
Tomo Ariyoshi, who confirmed it again, had a somewhat pale face.
"What is the probability of loss?"
"This... I don't know either, leave it to heaven!"
"..."
Seeing that his old friend started to breathe rapidly and might want to rush over to beat him up, Naoki Nagayama didn't continue to joke.
"Hahaha, no joking, no joking, making money is a high probability... Otherwise, why would I invest my net worth!"
"..."
Tomo Ariyoshi took a few deep breaths, and then he recovered a little.
"Naoki-san... I'm old, I can't stand such jokes!"
"Hahaha, who was just talking about half a lifetime of experience..."
"Get out of here!"
Tomo Ariyoshi laughed and scolded,
"You guy, why did you act so nervous just now!"
"After all, with so much money, it's always worrying when the results aren't determined~"
Naoki Nagayama shrugged and picked up the alternative heroines again.
"Alright, let's continue to go through these photos... Invite the last remaining ones for an interview..."
Turning to business, Tomo Ariyoshi nodded and continued to look through the photos and resumes... However, a few minutes later...
"No, no!"
He slapped all the photos on the table.
"It's all Naoki-san's fault. I can't look at these photos at all in my mind now! I'm all worried about my 1.2 billion!!!"
"Huh? Then what should we do? I came to the Tree Friend building today to screen..."
Coming to the company on a big weekend was very rare for Naoki Nagayama...
"I really can't calm down!"
Tomo Ariyoshi stood up and paced in the office, feeling only panic and anxiety in his chest. He looked at Naoki Nagayama, who had already calmed down, and admired his good friend's concentration even more... Naoki Nagayama had invested more than a billion, US dollars!!
That was nearly 200 billion yen!!!
Yet he only lost his mind for a while occasionally~
"Naoki-san, how did you manage to be so calm?!"
"Uh... didn't I pass the panic to Ariyoshi-san~ so I wasn't panicked anymore~" Naoki Nagayama was a bit embarrassed. "Emotions are things that need to be shared~"
"... You..."
Tomo Ariyoshi's words were choked off... Emotions can be shared? Can it actually be operated like this?!
But it seems to make a lot of sense!
"No... I can't bear such a situation by myself!"
After thinking for a few seconds, Tomo Ariyoshi stood up and walked out of the office, heading toward the only person he knew who could share this emotion,
"Shuichi-san is downstairs, I want him to know that our net worth is already hanging by a thread!!!"
"Uh... this, doesn't seem very good..."
Naoki Nagayama swore that he didn't want to drag Shuichi Yin Tang in!
Tomo Ariyoshi's back left only one sentence:
"... Heh, why didn't you feel it wasn't good when it involved me!"
"..."
So after about five minutes, Shuichi Yin Tang pulled Tomo Ariyoshi and quickly returned to the office, his face terrified:
"Naoki-san!! My entire net worth!! Is it really going to... next Monday..."
"Hmm, the results will be out next Monday!"
Naoki Nagayama had to explain it to him again. He didn't expect that he would also deepen his impression because of mentioning this matter again, and become restless again...
The three executives of Tree Friend became anxious together in the office on the top floor...
Half an hour later~
Naoki Nagayama threw the photos in his hand on the table...
"No, I can't look at it at all!!!"
"It seems that I can't work today!!!"
"..." "Hmm..." X2
Seeing that the other two were also absent-minded, Naoki Nagayama made a decision!
"Forget it, let's go drink!!"
"If you're drunk, you won't worry about this and that!"
"Good!" "Agreed!"
"When anxious, one should get dead drunk!!!"
The three old friends hit it off, so they let the driver drive, and went directly to a club in Roppongi in broad daylight...
The global tour - Tokyo station was a complete success, making Michael Jackson's popularity even hotter in Japan.
And at this time, in the gap of the concert, he also rarely had time to rest, and could relax and experience the prosperity of Tokyo, this international metropolis.
Michael Jackson chose to go out at night, because due to racial talent, he was not easily recognized by fans and media at this time~
At this time, it was the time for the accompanying translator, Kongzhi Xiaosong, to show his skills. He had just taken the King of Pop to eat famous Kaiseki cuisine, and now he brought Michael Jackson to the most prosperous area of Tokyo~
"Roppongi... the place with the richest nightlife in Tokyo!"
Kongzhi Xiaosong explained to Michael Jackson with a smile,
"The whole street has about hundreds of clubs and various nightclubs!!!"
"Ah... Mr. Xiaosong~"
Michael Jackson was a bit helpless; he wasn't that hungry yet,
"I want to experience the characteristic culture of Tokyo... not this kind of club for drinking and dancing..."
"Then Kabukicho is also fine, it's also very lively over there..."
Kongzhi Xiaosong suggested,
"You can also experience the customs shops of Japan..."
"Customs shops?" Michael Jackson had a half-understanding of Japan's customs shops. "Are they traditional Japanese customs shops?"
"..." Kongzhi Xiaosong paused, then nodded deeply. "It is a traditional custom of Japan!"
Kabuki and such have existed since ancient times, so naturally, they are traditional customs!
"Then let's go see it later..."
Michael Jackson wore a hat to cover his face, looked left and right at the shops in Roppongi,
"Let's just stroll around the shops here now..."
"Uh... are you really not going to the nightclub?"
"Not going!"
Shopping is Michael Jackson's hobby. After all, whether it's stage design or fashion trends, they are things that stars need to pay attention to.
Moreover, the feeling of spending money is indeed very refreshing~
In Tokyo, what Michael Jackson wanted to buy was naturally clothing with Japanese characteristics, such as kimonos...
The Roppongi at night was full of people coming and going, very lively, and even taking a taxi required holding cash to attract taxis. Michael Jackson felt the thriving atmosphere of Japan here~
However, when walking on the road, he could always see drunk people coming out of some nightclubs and then heading toward another nightclub...
"Sure enough, it's the same in every country, drinking, dancing..."
He originally wanted to let the translator Kongzhi Xiaosong take him to another place to see, but suddenly saw a familiar person!
Of the three people walking out of a club on the side of the street, two were somewhat unconscious, and one was still very sober... still calling the driver to send them back...
"That is... Naoki?!"
Michael Jackson was also a bit face-blind to the faces of ordinary Asians, but Naoki Nagayama was not in the ranks of ordinary people. He was very outstanding standing in a circle of people.
Translator Kongzhi Xiaosong took a closer look:
"It is indeed Naoki Nagayama!! Didn't expect to run into him here!"
"Naoki Nagayama, does he often come to nightclubs?"
Michael Jackson was a bit surprised. The Naoki Nagayama he knew was a good family man!
"Hahaha, of course!"
Translator Kongzhi Xiaosong explained with a smile,
"The most famous nightclub in Tokyo, the Takadanobaba Disco, known as the 'Original Disco', was opened by Naoki Nagayama himself!"
"!!!"
Michael Jackson's view of Naoki Nagayama was updated by several versions immediately...
"Michael, do you want to go up and say hello?"
"Hmm..." Michael Jackson nodded. After all, Naoki Nagayama was one of the few friends he had in Tokyo. "Let's go say hello~"
Naoki Nagayama here had just sent his two old friends into the car and asked the driver to send them home.
Wandering in the club until night, these two were already drunk beyond drunk, while he was just starting to feel dizzy, and his consciousness was still sober...
"Should I just go home... It's too dangerous for a boy to be outside alone!"
Just as he was preparing to find a taxi to go home, he suddenly heard a call...
"Naoki!"
Then turning his head, he saw a black face wearing a hat...
"Michael?!" Naoki Nagayama was immediately energized and surprised. "Why are you here?!"
"It was Mr. Xiaosong who brought me to experience the cultural customs of Tokyo..."
"Ah..."
Naoki Nagayama took a look at the translator Kongzhi Xiaosong next to him and showed a smile that all men understand,
"So that's it~"
"Then how does it feel?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.
"..."
"Michael didn't go to the club!" Translator Kongzhi Xiaosong hurriedly helped answer. "We just came out of shopping and saw Naoki-san..."
"So that's it!"
Blown by the night wind, Naoki Nagayama felt the alcohol rising, and his whole person was a bit trance-like, and he was a bit impulsive when speaking,
"How can that be! Since you've come to Roppongi, how can you not go to a club?!"
"Come, I'll treat you!"
"Uh... Naoki..." Michael Jackson declined. "I just saw you and came to say hello... I didn't want to go to a club..."
Actually, for Michael Jackson, in Japanese clubs, very few of the so-called young ladies speak English, so they can't chat at all...
And for a star of his level, going to a club is a very risky thing~
"If the club doesn't work, then let's go to a bar!!"
Naoki Nagayama was a bit overly enthusiastic at this time,
"Since you're here, you must have a drink! You can also see the performance of a heavy metal band!"
"..."
After repeated refusals failed, Michael Jackson was pulled into a bar next to him by Naoki Nagayama... Outside the bar, there was a poster with the words of X-Japan performing tonight...
The small bar was crowded, and a lively performance was going on on the stage.
After Naoki Nagayama and Michael Jackson and others ordered a cocktail at the bartender, they mixed into the boiling crowd and enjoyed the manic rock performance on the stage~
The rapid drum beats, the strong rhythm, the band members with killer hairstyles, one by one fell into madness, as if shouting and roaring, as if wanting to release the fear and mania in their hearts wantonly...
Such a sense of impact is the vitality of rock!
Under the influence of alcohol, everyone felt the relaxation of emotional release, and the whole bar became more lively and more manic...
"This is Japan's Visual Kei Rock!"
In the manic music, Naoki Nagayama said loudly to Michael Jackson,
"Michael, what do you think?!"
"Very similar to New York's heavy metal!!!"
Michael Jackson looked at the flames spraying out of the guitar on the stage with some surprise,
"But they are not so crazy... What if it catches fire indoors?!"
"Hahaha~"
Naoki Nagayama also recognized the X-Japan band on the stage, as well as the lead singer Lin Jiashu... He immediately thought of what might happen next,
"There's even crazier stuff!!!"
"?!!"
Michael Jackson, who had finished a glass of wine, didn't believe it,
"Even crazier?!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the song was about to end, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly pulled Michael Jackson to retreat...
Then he saw Lin Jiashu on the stage smash his guitar on the floor, breaking it into several pieces!!!
After that, he didn't stop smashing until the guitar became fragments... making the whole bar scream~
After that, it seemed that he hadn't finished venting, Lin Jiashu rushed into the crowd under the stage, found someone at random, and swung his old fist!!!
Band members, drunks, bartenders, security personnel entered the venue one after another... A real-life brawl suddenly spread in this bar...
"!!!"
Michael Jackson was dumbfounded. This scene is hard to see even in the United States!! And it's not like a gangster movie!
Just at this time, Naoki Nagayama immediately pulled Michael Jackson's arm and ran out, not stopping until he ran out of the bar... Immediately after, a large group of people poured out of the bar...
"Naoki!"
Michael Jackson was surprised,
"Are the bars in your Japan all so exciting?! Do bands hit people?!"
"Hahaha, this is an exception..."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head with a smile,
"But let's go quickly, the police are coming!"
Roppongi is still very safe, everyone is making money according to the rules, and the police's reaction is very fast~
And just when Naoki Nagayama took Michael Jackson and his party away, a lens not far away clearly captured this scene!!
"Just say following the X-Japan band will definitely have news!"
The paparazzi behind the camera muttered to himself,
"Hahaha, didn't expect to be able to photograph Naoki Nagayama... and Michael Jackson!!"
"What are these two doing in Roppongi?!" the companion next to him asked.
"What else can you do in Roppongi?!" The paparazzi's mouth raised, "It looks like our playboy Naoki is actually taking the King of Pop to have fun!!!"
"... The title of playboy Naoki has long been unused..."
"Don't care! Just use it!"
"But... can you report Naoki Nagayama?!" the companion worried. "The Nagayama family is very strict with paparazzi... seems to have been shaved before!"
"..."
The paparazzi was unwilling, but felt guilty when thinking of Naoki Nagayama's punishment for paparazzi... However, he didn't sneak photos of the Nagayama family's family privacy, nor did he go to hospitals and such to find secret information...
He was photographing news in an occasion like Roppongi!!
"This is in a public place, and what we photographed is breaking news, just happened to photograph Naoki Nagayama and Michael Jackson...
Even Naoki Nagayama can't stop people from eating!!!"
"Also... can say what we photographed is just Michael Jackson!!!"
"He Naoki Nagayama can't protect foreign artists too, right!!"
