Chapter 1301

The closing ceremony speech was given by Ikuo Suo.

This was something that had been decided long ago, to increase authority for Ikuo Suo to successfully become the second chairman of the Tokyo Film Association.

On the awards stage, Ikuo Suo held the microphone, his face full of high spirits.

The dark crowd under the stage was sitting with big shots from the global entertainment industry; it was equivalent to him giving a speech in front of the whole world...

"Minna-san, welcome to the 3rd Tokyo International Film Festival closing ceremony and awards ceremony..."

"During the film festival, excellent films from various countries were screened in turn..."

"Film professionals from various countries gathered together to communicate with each other..."

"Developing together..."

"Arigato..."

"I hope the Tokyo Film Festival will be held better and better..."

"Thanks again to the Shuyou Group, Fuji TV, NTV... and other parties for their support. Next, let's prepare for the awards!"

The long-winded speech made people want to sleep, and the clicking sounds were even more hypnotic. Not everyone understood Japanese, but almost everyone present was an actor, so they could always perform a focused look in front of the camera...

Only the applause at the end sounded like it came from the heart!

After the awards ceremony began, the host invited the jury to the stage and then began to proceed with the awards in an orderly manner.

There were many films shortlisted, but the only one related to Naoki Nagayama was "Departures." Naoki Nagayama, who already knew the result, had no expectations for the upcoming awards ceremony, but instead his thoughts drifted to what would happen later...

Like how much money those four key members had earned for him...

"Congratulations to Naoki Nagayama—'Departures,' for winning the Golden Sakura Award!!!"

The host's voice, the chairman's applause, and the congratulations from the people around him brought Naoki Nagayama back to his senses. He realized that it was time to announce the final grand prize!

"Naoki-san!!"

Under Akina's reminder, he stood up, bowed to the people around him, and then took the male and female leads, Momoe Yamaguchi and Tomokazu Miura, to the stage.

The award presenter handed the huge trophy and certificate to him and the creative team of "Departures"... and then left the stage to him... it was time for the acceptance speech!

"Wow~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the pairs of eyes, threw the prepared acceptance speech aside, and let out a sigh, starting to give the acceptance speech in both languages:

"For a moment just now, I didn't know where I was or what I was doing..."

"It was thanks to my wife's reminder that I came back to my senses..."

Naoki Nagayama held the trophy and waved to Akina.

"Arigato~"

At this time, Akina's face turned red, and then she covered her mouth and laughed... and the other guests in the venue also showed knowing smiles...

Naoki Nagayama put down the trophy and cleared his throat:

"Of course, to be able to win this grand prize, first of all, I want to thank Tomokazu Miura and Momoe-san beside me for their excellent performance... They vividly and movingly interpreted the profession of a mortician and the family surrounding this profession..."

"Recently, the world has undergone major changes, and many people have suffered losses... but this also made me understand a truth..."

"In life, there is nothing more important than life and death!"

"The matter has passed, life must go on... It's time to look up and move forward!"

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene quieted down, and as Naoki Nagayama finished speaking, the applause at the scene gradually sounded.

From sparse, it gradually became a roar~

Indeed, the global stock market crash almost involved everyone—those who lost money, went bankrupt, had broken families, saw friends crying... but in the face of life and death, these things seem to pass.

Now that the disaster has passed, it is time to look forward!

After the awards ceremony, it was the banquet. Many of Naoki Nagayama's friends came to his seat to congratulate him, including Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung, etc...

"Originally, if Jacky and Leslie came to Tokyo, I, as the local snake, would have to entertain them well tonight."

Naoki Nagayama held his glass and apologized.

"But I'm sorry, I need to go to the company in a while, there is an important meeting..."

Jackie Chan and Leslie Cheung naturally wouldn't be dissatisfied with this:

"If Naoki has something to do, he naturally has to go... We also have a schedule when we come to Tokyo."

"Yeah, yeah... We already have a good place to go..."

The two said with a smile. These two are both smart people, and Jackie Chan is famous for having many friends... Naturally, they wouldn't worry about not finding a place to have fun in Japan.

Actually, if Naoki Nagayama wasn't around, they might have had more fun~

"That's good... Please forgive me for not entertaining you well..."

Naoki Nagayama drank a glass of wine.

"Wait until tomorrow... If you are free tomorrow, you two can go to my Jurassic Island to see... We are filming 'Jurassic Park'!"

"Haha, then we will have an eye-opening experience..."

After Jackie Chan and others, Naoki Nagayama accepted congratulations from many people, and the wine was drunk cup after cup, until his eyes were blurry... Finally, naturally, in the name of being drunk, he left the banquet directly.

When he got into the car, Naoki Nagayama immediately woke up...

"Toda-kun, let's go to Ginza!"

"Hai!"

Tomoyasu Toda didn't doubt it at all; he naturally knew his boss's alcohol tolerance.

The black Toyota Century merged directly into the traffic, without causing a ripple, and arrived safely at the office building of Shuyou Capital.

When taking the elevator to the 12th floor, there were still people queuing in the elevator room. They were all people who wanted to open an account at Shuyou Capital. Naoki Nagayama saw the front desk of the Shuyou Capital headquarters again~

"Naoki-san!"

Chika Kanai greeted him happily and welcomed Naoki Nagayama in.

"There are still so many people..."

Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised to see the people queuing at the elevator entrance.

"Hmm, it's much better now."

Chika Kanai said.

"It's half less than a week ago... now they are basically retail investors!"

"I see."

Naoki Nagayama nodded and didn't dawdle, asking directly.

"Have Masamichi Sakaguchi and the others arrived?"

"Hai, they are currently in the workroom... Do you need me to invite them to the conference room?"

"No, I'll go over directly..."

Naoki Nagayama changed direction directly and headed towards the investment manager's open office.

Turning a corner, he saw the four of Masamichi Sakaguchi, surrounded by investment managers, talking about the situation of their business trip...

"Naoki-san?!" "It's Naoki-san!" "Naoki-san is here!" "..."

After seeing Naoki Nagayama, the investment managers were all very excited and gave way one after another. Now they had regarded Naoki Nagayama as a god!

And the four key members finally saw Naoki Nagayama!

"Naoki-san!" X4

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama tilted his head.

"Let's go, to my office..."

"Hai!" X4

The five people made the small office look a bit crowded, but this was not the time to complain... Looking at these key members who had lost weight, Naoki Nagayama sighed:

"You've worked hard this time... each one of you has lost more than a circle!"

"Not at all..." "Should thank Naoki-san, thanks to Naoki-san I was able to participate in this operation!" "Probably only once in a lifetime!" "..."

Several people spoke one after another, all in a tone of gratitude!

On the one hand, this operation was too unbelievable, and on the other hand, these people had all invested their own money, and now they were all billionaires!!

"Alright, alright~"

Naoki Nagayama waved his hand, letting them stop the flattery.

"Let's talk about the situation of bottom-fishing! Start from... Tomoaki Takeda!"

"Hai!" Tomoaki Takeda adjusted his glasses and took out a notebook from his arms and opened it. "I shorted XXX shares in Hong Kong. After closing the position, I earned about 25 billion yen..."

About 200 million US dollars...

"Most of it was remitted back, and some funds were left in Hong Kong to buy land in Victoria Harbour... I have already set my eyes on a piece and am negotiating..."

"Good..."

After hearing the address of the land, Naoki Nagayama didn't say much and continued to look at Masamichi Sakaguchi...

"At the London Stock Exchange, I shorted XXX... After closing the position, I earned a total of 350 million pounds..."

The current exchange rate between the pound and the yen is 142:1. Naoki Nagayama converted it to about 50 billion yen, more than 400 million US dollars.

"According to Naoki-san's instructions, I bottom-fished and bought 8% of Shell's shares..."

After Masamichi Sakaguchi, Yukio Nakayama in Sydney and Katsuya Hayakawa in Toronto also reported the details of their operations in various countries.

After everyone finished reporting, Naoki Nagayama calculated silently. He had become an important shareholder of 7 well-known listed companies around the world, the kind that could attend board meetings and demand company audits!

If all of it were announced, Shuyou Capital would already be an internationally famous capital company!!

"Thank you all for your hard work..."

Naoki Nagayama stood up and bowed slightly to the four of them. He was already very skilled in Japanese culture.

"I will still need everyone's help in the future!"

"Not at all..." "How dare I..." "..."

These four naturally bowed 90 degrees to return the salute immediately, with a kind of moving feeling of a scholar dying for his confidant~

After reporting the business, Naoki Nagayama naturally chatted with them about interesting things in various countries, such as whether they saw Queen Elizabeth or Princess Diana in the UK...

Everyone talked very happily, until Katsuya Hayakawa asked unconsciously:

"Is Genta-san still in New York and hasn't returned?"

"..." Naoki Nagayama's expression was a bit low. "Yes, Genta-san has some difficulties..."

"You guys only earned a few hundred million, although you earned a lot, it's not too much for the market."

Naoki Nagayama explained.

"Genta-san earned more than a billion in New York... This touched the red line of the regulators!"

"Now the upper echelons of the US financial world are restricting Genta-san's exit on the grounds of suspected stock market manipulation, and are going to hold hearings... and may even file a lawsuit..."

All four were shocked!

"How could this happen?!" "Then what should Genta-san do?" "Can't he come back?!" "..."

Looking at their panicked eyes, Naoki Nagayama raised his hand to soothe them:

"Don't worry, I have already arranged a huge legal team, Genta-san will be fine!"

"You are all people in the financial world, you should know that this kind of lawsuit is time-consuming and costly... and in the end, there may even be no results..."

Naoki Nagayama continued to analyze.

"So this is very likely just the regulators putting pressure... They actually want to settle..."

"If it's a settlement, there must be requirements!"

Tomoaki Takeda hit the point at once.

"What do they want? Do they want Shuyou Capital to give up the profits from this operation?"

"How is that possible?!" Yukio Nakayama shook his head. "Even if Shuyou agrees, Huaerjie won't agree. This will set a dangerous precedent!"

The United States is a case law system. As long as this kind of case comes out, it might be judged according to this case in the future...

If you have to spit out profits from making money by shorting, all the financial big shots on Huaerjie will not be able to sit still!

"Yes..." Naoki Nagayama nodded. "So they took Shuyou Capital being a Japanese capital as a pretext..."

"In the end, it is very likely that they will require this billion-plus US dollars to remain in the US stock market... buying bonds, social security funds, not allowing outflow, etc..."

Actually, this didn't matter to Naoki Nagayama. He originally wanted to bottom-fish the US stock market, and most of the funds would stay in the US...

However, there is a big difference between doing it yourself and being forced to do it!

In Western culture, if you are bullied and don't fight back, others will think you are weak and will keep bullying you...

If you compromise this time, maybe Shuyou Capital will have to take the blame for everything in the future...

"But we can't suffer this injustice!"

Naoki Nagayama said firmly.

"In addition to arranging a legal team, I also found lobbyists. The US president is also about to change, and I am also preparing to fight back in Japan...

In short, Genta-san may not come back for the time being, but he will definitely be able to come back within a year or two!"

Masamichi Sakaguchi and the others listened with excitement:

"Naoki-san, is there anything we can do?!"

"You guys..."

Naoki Nagayama's tone calmed down again.

"You guys manage Shuyou Capital well while Genta-san is away... If we can become one of the top investment companies in Japan, then our voice will be more powerful!"

"Hai! We will work hard!" X4

While Naoki Nagayama was holding a meeting with his subordinates in Ginza, Akina Nakamori, who should have been shopping with Momoe Yamaguchi, disguised herself and came to the Waseda campus...

After finding a Naixue milk tea shop on the street, she waited there... Not long after, she saw Hezi arrive at the shop!

"Hezi!"

Akina waved hurriedly.

"Here, here..."

"Akina-chan!"

Hezi walked over, looking at Akina's disguise, wanting to laugh.

"Couldn't you just say it on the phone? You had to meet in person..."

"No!"

Akina said seriously.

"I have to confirm this with my own eyes!"

"Okay... then let's go! Let's go to the warehouse we rented!"

"Okay..."

"Speaking of which, to give Nii-chan a surprise, you actually asked me to help, taking such a big detour... You're really idle~"

"What idle? That's putting your heart into it!"

The two bickered while walking towards the warehouse. Over there, they had prepared a special birthday gift for Naoki Nagayama!

After arriving at the warehouse, looking up at the large item covered with a dust cloth, Hezi curled her lips:

"Does Nii-chan really like this kind of thing?"

"Of course!"

Akina nodded seriously, looking at the gift with great satisfaction.

"Naoki-san said that men are boys until they die! He will definitely like it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Hezi was noncommittal about this gift...

And after Akina checked it, she covered the dust cloth again, and then said to Hezi:

"Hezi, come to Shanyingyuan together tomorrow night! Celebrate Naoki-san's birthday~"

"Okay..."

Hezi nodded. Although she was a bit disgusted with her brother, she still valued him very much in her heart.

"I want to see Nii-chan's expression when he sees this thing!"

"Hahaha~" Akina laughed. "Then Hezi, have you prepared a gift?"

"Of course..."

"You can bring your boyfriend too!"

"..." Hezi pursed her lips. "Okay~"

Letting Dalu Jin Tian participate more in the activities of the Nagayama family, especially the private activities of the true "patriarch" of the Nagayama family today, would help him be accepted into the Nagayama family...

You know, although Naoki Nagayama and Feng Nagayama didn't oppose Dalu Jin Tian, if it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't take him with them if something happened... for example, money-making opportunities, using resources to support his promotion, etc...

In the future, his career and his marriage with Hezi might be able to go more smoothly!
