Chapter 1290: Naoki Nagayama is the leader of a Japanese cult?!

From the moment she woke up, little Xia Hua was particularly happy.

On one hand, she was wearing a beautiful princess dress newly made by Akina; on the other hand, she had been told earlier that a cherry blossom viewing party would be held today, and friends would come to Shanying Yuan, including little sister Sayuri whom she had met before~

"Dad, no... one... coming!"

The little one would come to Naoki Nagayama every five minutes to ask, because now Akina was preparing for the banquet, and the nannies and housekeepers were also dealing with their own affairs. Only Naoki Nagayama didn't have to do anything, just wait for the guests to arrive and then entertain them.

"Soon..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the time; it was almost 11 a. m., "They should be coming soon..."

After hearing this, little Xia Hua ran to the garden again, looking towards the gate... The dog Eitaro next to her also accompanied her running back and forth very dog-leggedly.

Naoki Nagayama also followed into the courtyard. At this time, Shanying Yuan had changed its appearance; the lawn was trimmed neatly, the flower beds in the courtyard were replaced with seasonal chrysanthemums in full bloom, simple tables and chairs were placed in the large open space, and the surroundings were decorated with some ribbons and balloons...

As Naoki Nagayama's status became higher and higher, the originally simple cherry blossom viewing party had become a complex banquet, requiring a professional team to prepare.

However, the guests invited were still the people closest to him...

Soon, the sound of a car horn went off, the iron gate opened, and a high-end sedan slowly stopped in the open space at the main entrance of Shanying Yuan.

Naoki Nagayama stepped forward and held little Xia Hua's hand, and then he saw the car door hadn't fully opened when a hearty laugh came out first:

"Naoki! And Hua-chan... have you been waiting for me?"

"Maple big brother." Naoki Nagayama answered with a smile, "Hua-chan has been waiting for a long time!"

"Is that so..."

The sturdy Kaede Nagayama got down, feeling like he had gained a circle of weight... Sure enough, the food in Tokyo was too good...

He walked to little Xia Hua and squatted down:

"Hua-chan, do you still remember me?"

"..." The little one naturally didn't remember, looking up to her father for help.

"This is... Maple uncle..."

"Maple uncle~"

"Hahaha, Hua-chan is so cute!"

Kaede Nagayama looked at the exquisite and beautiful little Xia Hua and liked her very much,

"Sayuri will definitely be this cute when she grows up!"

"Dear... don't reminisce, come and help!"

At this time, the door in the back row of the car opened, and the annoyed voice of Kokoro Nagayama came out.

Kaede Nagayama reacted, hurriedly went to the back row and hugged Sayuri out of the safety seat:

"Come come come, Yuri-chan, this is Hua-chan, your sister..."

Sayuri was not even a year old now, and couldn't even speak, but her eyes were round and curious, looking around. When she met Xia Hua's eyes, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile~

"Ah... wow wow wow..."

She was saying something in baby language, but her hands were waving, looking very happy.

Little Xia Hua seemed to have not lost the ability of baby language, and very cooperatively echoed with wow wow...

"Ha, Hua-chan should also remember Sayuri..."

Just when the two little friends had their initial contact, Akina, as the hostess, walked out hurriedly:

"Maple big brother, Kokoro-chan, you've arrived~ Sumimasen, I was in the kitchen just now and didn't hear..."

"Daijobu~"

Kokoro Nagayama on the other side took the gift out of the trunk and handed it to Akina,

"This is a gift..."

"Arigato~ Hurry and come inside to sit..."

Akina accepted the gift and then invited this family to sit inside, and the two fathers who were watching their daughters make friends also stopped for a while and took the two daughters inside.

The hostess naturally had her own topics, and the two soon started chatting over at the restaurant, while Naoki Nagayama took the little ones to the living room covered with soft carpets.

After arriving at their own territory, Hua-chan was even more excited, taking out many dolls from her treasure box for Sayuri... But at this time, Sayuri was in the oral stage, and wanted to put everything into her mouth to bite...

The two fathers didn't stop them, but watched the two little girls interact enthusiastically~

"Maple big brother, don't worry, Hua-chan's toys are cleaned every day, high-temperature dried, no bacteria..."

"I know... Sigh... Now Yuri-chan bites everything, and Kokoro and I have practiced it..."

"Haha, my Hua-chan also often bit things at that time..."

Naoki Nagayama pointed to Eitaro who was huddled on the side,

"Look, Eitaro was scared, his tail was always bitten... Nyataro, Nyataro basically doesn't come down from high places."

"Ahahaha... Eitaro!"

Kaede Nagayama smiled and waved at the dog, and then the big white dog walked over, wagging its tail... Eitaro also recognized Maple big brother!

"Yoshi, Eitaro feels like he's fatter again!"

Kaede Nagayama, who was stroking the dog, sighed,

"Just like me!"

"What's wrong?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously, "Doesn't Maple big brother exercise often?"

"Not during this time..." Kaede Nagayama scratched his head, "The performance of the KTV has declined during this time, and there are many things, I am very distressed... So I will eat things in the middle of the night..."

"... Haha~"

Eating things in the middle of the night naturally makes you fat!

After laughing for a while, Naoki Nagayama said:

"The poor performance must be caused by the stock market crash... But it won't last long, it will recover soon!"

"Recover? But many people were ruined by the stock market crash this time!"

Kaede Nagayama was a bit surprised. He had seen with his own eyes that some regular customers never appeared again,

"Do the guests still have the mood to sing?"

"They will!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Japan's economic situation is very good, there will always be rich people!"

"..."

Feng Yongshan chose to trust her cousin; after all... he was a "stock market prophet"!

Yes, "stock market prophet," this was one of Naoki Nagayama's new titles recently... obtained because he predicted the arrival of the stock market crash in advance!

Just chatting, the front door of Shanying Yuan made the sound of a car horn again, and another guest arrived!

Genta Nakai sat very calmly in the spacious office, looking out the window at the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

Human recovery ability is very amazing. A few days ago, someone jumped down from a high building, and now, office workers are coming and going in the building... The impact of the New York stock market crash, in the tacit consensus, is slowly fading.

However, the overall market is still at a low level, and it will take time to recover... and real money!

"Mr. Nakai!"

Luo Luo Bote, a senior lawyer at the Cravath, Swaine & Moore law firm, said,

"Based on the information you provided earlier, we can basically confirm that Tree Friend Capital did not violate regulations..."

Cravath, Swaine & Moore is one of the oldest law firms in the United States, and it is famous in international finance and corporate law, especially in the design of securitization and financial products, which is the biggest business of Cravath, Swaine & Moore.

Tree Friend Capital itself had a contract with Cravath, Swaine & Moore, and now it had let two senior lawyers bring a team!

"And then?"

Genta Nakai asked,

"So how should I reply to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission?! That's why I invited you here!"

Luo Luo Bote and George, another senior lawyer, looked at each other. They actually understood that the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission was actually looking for a scapegoat to divert public attention.

Now Japan's economy is taking off, and more and more people are coming to the United States to buy, buy, buy. The society is already filled with an anti-Japanese atmosphere... So Tree Friend Capital, which is Japanese capital but made a huge profit during the stock market crash, has become a good target.

"Mr. Nakai..."

Luo Luo Bote deliberated and said,

"Only one part of the evidence you provided is relatively fragile... that is the basis of Tree Friend Capital's investment strategy... You said it was based on the prediction of company president Naoki Nagayama..."

"But as far as we know, Naoki Nagayama is neither an economic expert nor a financial professor, and has no background in mathematics or statistics... The credibility of his judgment and prediction is worth questioning..."

"Tree Friend Capital actually went all-in on shorting based on such a prediction, which is a bit contrary to common sense!"

Hearing this, Genta Nakai was angry:

"Brick experts and beasts?! What's the use of that title?!"

"There are countless economic experts who suffered heavy losses on Huaerjie this time! Did financial professors predict the stock market crash?!"

"As for the degree in mathematics and statistics..." Genta Nakai laughed, "If this were useful, all the billionaires on Huaerjie now should be mathematicians!"

"..."

The two senior big lawyers also had to admit that what Genta Nakai said made a lot of sense...

Genta Nakai hadn't finished speaking:

"As for common sense?! If you knew Naoki Nagayama himself, you would know, Naoki-san himself... he is a variable, an unreasonable person!!"

How could anyone lead the Tree Friend Group to grow like this in less than ten years!

"He is a genius! A monster! A visionary prophet!!! And he is also handsome and loyal... Sometimes I even feel that he is the kind of half-human, half-god existence in ancient times, with the blood of gods flowing in his body!"

"..."

The two senior big lawyers looked at each other again. Looking at the undisguised reverence in Genta Nakai's eyes, they both thought that Naoki Nagayama might be the leader of some Japanese cult!

At this time, Aldrich, the investment manager who had met Naoki Nagayama, also spoke:

"Two... Mr. Nakai means that Naoki Nagayama has strong prestige and control in Tree Friend Capital, and the employees all recognize his judgment!"

"Is that so..." Luo Luo Bote nodded, "Actually, if Naoki Nagayama could come to New York in person and meet with the U. S. Securities Commission face-to-face, it might be better!"

"No!"

Genta Nakai shook his head immediately,

"At least not now! We can't take risks..."

He had already communicated with Naoki Nagayama before. If he were trapped in the United States, Naoki-san would try to mediate diplomatically from Japan. If Naoki Nagayama were trapped in the United States, then no one would have the ability to save him.

"Take risks?!"

George was a bit surprised,

"What risks?!"

"Naturally, the U. S. judicial system restricting Naoki-san from leaving, and even forcing Naoki-san to sell the shares of Tree Friend Capital..."

"Uh..."

As American lawyers, Luo Luo Bote and George showed an American arrogant smile after hearing this,

"Mr. Nakai, you are overthinking. Although the U. S. judicial system needs improvement, such things will definitely not happen!"

George also said:

"Yes, American democracy will not allow such things, and our numerous lawyers will not allow such operations!"

"Hehehe..."

Genta Nakai complained,

"Chaplin, Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King, a long list of celebrities who were persecuted... What that FBI Director Hoover wanted to do, justice and democracy are jokes!"

"..."

The American puppet king Hoover had passed away for more than ten years, but his big name had never disappeared!

In that era, the flowing presidents and the iron-clad Director Hoover were not jokes!

The two big lawyers had nothing to say, and Aldrich spoke to ease the atmosphere in the office:

"Lawyer Luo Luo Bote, Lawyer George, the person in charge of Tree Friend Capital in the United States is Mr. Nakai, everything ends with Mr. Nakai!"

"Hmm, don't consider letting Naoki-san come over."

Genta Nakai said,

"Before the stock market crash-related matters subside, Naoki-san will not come to New York!"

"Then okay~" Luo Luo Bote didn't force it, he said, "Mr. Nakai, you said before that Naoki Nagayama made quite a few suggestions for Japan's market rescue policy?"

"Yes, Japan's market rescue policy is mainly established according to Naoki-san's opinions."

Genta Nakai nodded,

"This point has been reported in Japan's most famous newspapers, 'Sankei Shimbun', 'Yomiuri Shimbun', etc.!"

"Japanese Ministry of Finance officials have also made public statements!"

Lawyer George nodded with satisfaction:

"Since that's the case, the Japanese government has acknowledged Naoki Nagayama's analysis of the stock market, so we can use this as an auxiliary evidence and write it in the reply letter..."

"Mr. Nakai, I want to remind you that this inquiry letter is just a beginning..."

Luo Luo Bote said subsequently,

"It is very likely that regarding this matter of manipulating the stock market, the U. S. Securities Commission will initiate a hearing... You need to be prepared by then!"

"But from the current evidence and logic, Tree Friend Capital doesn't have to worry about entering a lawsuit at all."

"... I understand!"

Genta Nakai nodded. He knew that this storm was not so easy to pass!

The Japan Threat Theory had already appeared in American newspapers!

At the same time, Shanying Yuan in Tokyo was already full of guests.

After Kaede Nagayama arrived, Yoshimura Otomo, Shuichi Ito, Masataka Komori, Shizhi Kijima... and other guests in Naoki Nagayama's core circle all arrived.

At this time, the adults were already drinking tea and admiring the cherry blossoms in the courtyard, while the grown-up Jia Yi Ito was taking the two little sisters to play in the living room.

"There are still a few children..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the living room and sighed,

"Masataka-kun, Kijima-kun... and Shuichi-san, you guys should at least have a few more! I'm about to have a son!"

Hearing this, Shuichi Ito rolled his eyes:

"I have one daughter, that's enough!"

While Masataka Komori and Shizhi Kijima smiled slightly... Masataka Komori was already married but hadn't had children yet, and Shizhi Kijima was still in the dating stage...

Yes, Shizhi Kijima, who wore a gold Rolex, could always find a girlfriend, but his girlfriend occasionally forgot that she had someone she was dating...

Yoshimura Otomo changed the subject; he was so old, he couldn't have children even if he wanted to:

"Naoki-san, speaking of which, the cherry blossom tree at your house is getting more and more beautiful..."

His words attracted everyone's attention back to the cherry blossom tree, and everyone agreed.

"When I first came to Shanying Yuan, this cherry blossom tree was just transplanted and was still a bit haggard... Now, the tree waist is much thicker by several circles!"

Shuichi Ito also sighed,

"It's raised really well! Is it already a feng shui tree?!"

"Does Naoki-san have any secret tricks? Could it really be that set of fertilizing with little fingers?!"

"..."

The joke Naoki Nagayama told before was mentioned again, making everyone laugh... This kind of unreliable strange talk, no one would think it's true, right? Wouldn't they?!

Yoshimura Keishin, who was already in university, listened silently. After a group of adults finished admiring the cherry blossoms and all went to the center of the party, he subconsciously looked for the roots of the cherry blossom tree... and sure enough, he found an abnormal protrusion on the ground! It was exactly a thick and short strip, covered by a layer of soil!

"No way... wouldn't it really be fingers?!"

The curiosity in his heart and the excitement of discovering the truth made Yoshimura Keishin feel a burst of excitement. He aimed at the adults who had already sat down, pretended to continue admiring the cherry blossoms, walked slowly to the abnormal protrusion, and quickly squatted down to rake it with his hands~

The shallow soil was brushed away layer by layer, and the thick and short strip became more and more obvious, even having a rotten smell!!!

That's it, that's it, it's it!!

Yoshimura Keishin's breathing was rapid; it seemed he was about to discover the truth hidden in the Nagayama house!

Until the end, a strip appeared in the soil, fat and seemingly looking like a little finger... But...

"Why is it black?! Did it rot?!"

Yoshimura Keishin muttered to himself in surprise... Touching it with his hand, it was still soft, seemingly able to be pinched rotten?!

Just at this time, a shrill cat meow came from above! Looking between the cherry blossom branches, a fat cat was looking at Yoshimura Keishin in disbelief...

"Meow meow meow!!! (There's a pervert! Digging the poop I buried!!)"

"..."

"Fu*k!" Yoshimura Keishin finally reacted, "This is cat poop!!!"

So, in the surprised eyes of some people, Yoshimura Keishin rushed towards the direction of the toilet...

"Uh..." Naoki Nagayama happened to see it, "What's wrong with Keishin-kun?"

"Probably drank too much water..."

Yoshimura Otomo said casually, and then continued to ask,

"Naoki-san... You just said that the Tokyo Film Festival closing ceremony that was postponed, is going to be held grandly?!"

"Yes." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I do want to hold it grandly... as a sign of the Tokyo Film Association leading the economic recovery!"

"The impact of Japan's stock market crash is getting smaller and smaller, and someone needs to remind them that the stock market crash has passed..."

"We can continue to play music... continue to dance!"

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's nonsensical words, Shuichi Ito and Yoshimura Otomo didn't seem to understand.

"However, why should we do this? Shouldn't it be led by the Cabinet?"

"This is a great opportunity to expand the influence of the Tokyo Film Association!"

Naoki Nagayama said,

"If we take the initiative to do this, we can let the upper echelons see the necessity and function of the Film Association... Besides maintaining the interests of artists, the Film Association can also participate in the operation of the country... and even replace part of the functions of the Ministry of Education..."

"This is called enhancing the united front... ah no, utilization value!"

He looked at Masataka Komori and others:

"In the future, we definitely need to get closer to the political scene. Only with utilization value can we have bargaining power... We can ask the upper echelons for more support..."

"Including expanding the Tokyo Film Association into the entire Japanese Film Association... leading the entire Japanese film circle..."

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's words, Shuichi Ito showed a smile:

"Sure enough, Naoki-san has never been limited to Tokyo! From the very beginning, you had the ambition to integrate the entire Japanese film circle, right?"

"Haha, that's for sure!" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Tokyo is just one city in Japan..."

Industry associations are always better the bigger they are~

"Later, we will also represent the Japanese film circle and march towards Europe and the United States!"

Going to Europe and the United States to compete and acquire American film companies, all require the support of an official institution.

And Naoki Nagayama's ambition to enter the European and American film circles had already been revealed. In order to please the American market, "Jurassic Park" specially chose American star actors as the protagonists!

"Hahaha, that's right, we are going to enter Europe and the United States!"

"'Jurassic Park' is about to start filming!"

Just when the men were chatting happily, Akina led the nannies and wives to send lunch to the table in the courtyard, allowing everyone to eat and drink to their heart's content...

It's just that Yoshimura Keishin didn't seem to have much appetite~

And he was still wiping his hands with a napkin, seemingly wanting to wipe something away... ===== CHAPTER 1291 =====
