Chapter 203: The man with 800 million in his bank account

~13 min read 2,582 words

Spring passes and summer arrives, a good sleep,

The awakened Naoki Nagayama was not only refreshed in spirit, but even the weakness of his body seemed to have never happened.

After a brief wash, looking at the energetic young man in the half-length mirror, Naoki Nagayama sighed.

"In the future, I must restrain myself from eating and drinking like this! God finally gave me a young and energetic body. If I return to that sub-healthy state, it would be too uneconomical."

Shaking his towel, the recovered boy went downstairs and called to the dog in the yard:

"Eitaro, let's go, let's go for a morning run... no, a walk!"

Just recovered, let's be conservative. Let's slow down the morning run.

It is said that the flowers of the world pass away in April, but that is in a natural state. The flowers carefully taken care of by people must bloom for a long time, such as the Aoyama shop by the street.

In the small flower bed at the entrance of old man Aoyama's shop, tulips were blooming brightly, emitting a faint fragrance that made Eitaro, who was walking by, couldn't help but stop.

Naoki Nagayama saw a figure flashing in the shop, so he pushed the door and went in.

"Old man Aoyama, I'm here to see you~"

A pair of grandparents and grandchildren in the shop were reading the newspaper. The first to see him was Chikako Aoyama: "Naoki-san, is this a morning walk?"

Indeed, if it were a morning run, Naoki Nagayama would be sweaty at this time. He had seen him at the door several times, and he just smiled and said hello.

"Yes, I don't want to run today." Getting sick is not something you have to tell everyone. "Is Chikako-san helping to watch the shop again today?"

"Yes, it's just the weekend." Chikako Aoyama had a bright smile on her face. "It's already a habit."

Naoki Nagayama pulled Eitaro to the side to prevent him from lifting his hind legs next to the shelf, and then teased:

"How can that be, Chikako-san? A young girl of your age should take advantage of this beautiful time to go out and play with people of the same age, and go on dates with people you like!"

"Cough cough..." Old man Aoyama behind the display cabinet couldn't help it. "Naoki, you guy, don't corrupt my Chikako!"

"Ha, where did I say anything wrong~" Naoki Nagayama winked at the little girl. "Chikako-san, am I right~"

Because they were already familiar, the little girl didn't blush easily now, but smiled cutely: "Hahaha, whatever Naoki-san says is right~"

Old man Aoyama walked out from behind the counter: "You guy, as soon as you come, you want to break up our family time..."

Then he pulled Naoki Nagayama to sit at the tea table in the shop and poured a cup of herbal tea: "It seems that the time for casual strolling has become less, are you busy with anything recently?"

"Nothing much, the preparation work for a movie, it will be busier in the early stage." In fact, there are all kinds of things, but there is no need to say that.

"It's really amazing, is there another movie?"

"It's just the beginning, and even the actors haven't been found yet." Naoki Nagayama took a sip of tea, which was warm, cool, and transparent. It was really good.

Old man Aoyama was a little puzzled: "Aren't you starring in it yourself, Naoki-san?"

"Ah, this movie is a bit different, and there is no suitable role for me for the time being." Naoki Nagayama looked at Chikako Aoyama who was walking over and couldn't help but joke, "Speaking of which, Chikako-san's image conditions are very good. Would you like to develop in the entertainment industry in the future? If you want, I can help~"

The girl did blush a little this time: "No way~"

Old man Aoyama said sullenly from the side: "Chikako, forget it. It would be very good to be able to inherit this Aoyama shop in the future. If you can marry a good family, that would be even better."

"I don't want to get married! Humph!" For the matter that grandfather suddenly brought up, the Aoyama girl was suddenly a little shy and angry. She flicked her ponytail and ran back to the counter, even taking away the teapot that was originally going to be filled with water.

"..." Old man Aoyama, Chikako is still so young, it's too early to talk about marriage..." Naoki Nagayama looked at the empty cup. "Now I can't even drink tea..."

Old man Aoyama laughed: "If you can't drink it, you can't drink it. Anyway, I can brew it myself later."

This teasing old man!

Naoki Nagayama couldn't help him. Anyway, it was just a greeting on the way when strolling, so he said a few more words and took Eitaro to continue his great cause of strolling.

"Eitaro, you seem to have grown a lot. It looks like you need to change the rope~"

One man and one dog walked slowly toward the pet shop...

Shuichi Yin Tang and Otomo Yoshimura were discussing the ideas they had obtained before in the studio.

"Shuichi-san, do you think Naoki-san's idea is reliable?" Otomo Yoshimura looked at the invitation in his hand, a little worried. "Recruiting from the entertainment industry or something..."

Shuichi Yin Tang was also very entangled. The invitation stated that Tree Friend Films was collecting roles for a movie. The specific requirements for the role were male, 40~50 years old, university professor, requiring experienced actors... The crew had filmed the big hits *Paranormal Activity*, *The Gas Station Robbery*, etc., and the last was the phone number.

"Naoki-san said that most actors who are not first-line are lacking in roles. Instead of us looking for them one by one, it's better to hold a casting meeting.

But such an invitation notice seems too casual."

Otomo Yoshimura also agreed a little. This seems to be different from the casting strategies in Japan before.

Originally, it relied on recommendations from agencies or familiar agents, or looking for them yourself. This kind of advertising method generally only appears in idol selection.

Shuichi Yin Tang said another sentence at this time: "Is it because Naoki-san saw us disturbing his date, so he just gave a bad idea?"

Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, as if to cheer himself up, and patted his thigh: "No, Naoki-san hasn't reached that level of madness!"

However, after all, it was an idea that the two of them threw away their face to ask for from Naoki Nagayama, so at this time, they could only do it this way.

Otomo Yoshimura thought in his heart at this time: "Maybe not many people will come in the end!"

So he threw this invitation advertisement to the relevant newspapers in the film and television industry.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Naoki Nagayama drove to a Toyota car dealership.

The dividends from the movie came down, and he wanted to do what he had always wanted to do: buy a car with more space.

After renting a car once before, Naoki Nagayama felt good about Toyota's driving performance, and that calm and atmospheric feeling also fit his taste very well.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to enter the Toyota shop driving a Mercedes, the customer is God. The sales guy at the specialty store had no dissatisfaction at all. After bowing to Naoki Nagayama who entered the door, he was full of smiles:

"Welcome to the Toyota car dealership. I am the sales manager, Akihiro Hirayama. What can I do for you?"

"Yes, Manager Hirayama, my name is Naoki Nagayama." Naoki Nagayama reported his name generously. "I want to buy a Toyota car today."

Akihiro Hirayama smiled even more brilliantly: "Naoki-san has such a good eye. Our Toyota brand is world-class. Even the United States is popular with Toyota cars!"

"Do you have any favorite styles or models?"

"Ah, yes." Naoki Nagayama walked around the showroom and found his target. "It's this one."

Akihiro Hirayama was a little surprised when he looked at this car: "Toyota Century?"

Then he said to Naoki Nagayama: "Naoki-san, this model is generally used as a car for administrative officials or political and enterprise personnel."

"So, can't ordinary people buy it?" Naoki Nagayama walked around the car and looked at it. He was quite satisfied with the classic shape inside the car.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Akihiro Hirayama waved his hands repeatedly, it's just that the nursing fee is relatively expensive, and the output is not high, so it needs to be booked.

"How long will it take to wait?"

Akihiro Hirayama thought about it and gave a rough deadline: "It is expected to be about 6 months."

Naoki Nagayama frowned. This time... is really too long. He was going to pick up Hezi to watch fireworks in July and August. At that time, people would definitely not be able to sit down.

But thinking of something, those administrative officials and companies order cars, they must order them in batches, and there are many twists and turns inside, and it is common to get the car in advance.

Although Naoki Nagayama didn't have such a big face, but... he had money!

So he nodded: "Manager Hirayama, then let's do this, order one for me."

Akihiro Hirayama also nodded excitedly when he heard this. Such a luxury car was enough for his performance for half a year.

After verifying Naoki Nagayama's payment ability, the two came to the VIP room to sign the contract. Naoki Nagayama looked at Akihiro Hirayama, who had a little sparse hair, and asked: "Hirayama-san, how long have you been doing Toyota?"

"Ah, I really haven't calculated it~ but it should be more than 20 years."

"Then it seems that Hirayama-san must know many people in Toyota?"

"Hahaha, I have some friends more or less."

"Forgive my curiosity, Hirayama-san, how much commission can you get for this order?"

"Ah? This... this is not allowed..." Akihiro Hirayama became stuttering. "The company has... for this aspect..."

Naoki Nagayama understood that for ordinary car models, the sales commission is generally in insurance and other places, but he bought a top luxury car, and the commission for the car itself must also be very high.

He signed his name dashingly and filled out the deposit check. "Hirayama-san, let's just say it directly, I hope to get the car sooner."

"But... the car has to be in batches..."

"Yes, I just said it would take 6 months... but I really want to get it sooner... Can Hirayama-san help me think of a way?"

"This... the company has regulations..."

"I know, but there are always ways that don't violate the regulations, right?"

"This..."

"Hirayama-san, if you can get the car early, calculating it as six months, if you get it one month early, I can give you a reward of 1 million!"

"1 million?!"

Although the salary of a Toyota car salesman is not small, the salary when sales are best is only nearly 500,000 per month. If you calculate it this way, even if it is only one month early, it is one month's salary!

If you can get it tomorrow, wouldn't it be 6 million?!

Plus the commission for the car itself, wouldn't this order be a year's salary earned for nothing?

After the previous payment verification, Akihiro Hirayama already understood that the person in front of him was definitely a rich man. That string of zeros was not a joke.

Akihiro Hirayama took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, the whole person was both excited and a little terrified.

"Nagayama-san, this... are you serious?"

"Haha, of course. Anyway, it will be given as a red envelope on the spot before picking up the car." Naoki Nagayama looked at Akihiro Hirayama, who was sweating constantly in front of him, and comforted him, "Hirayama-san, don't be so nervous, it's not like I want you to do something illegal or criminal."

"Just help me get the car as soon as possible within your ability." Naoki Nagayama smiled. "There are always some people who can get the car in advance, why can't it be me? Everything is in accordance with Toyota's system, and at the same time, Hirayama-san can also get some benefits."

After saying this, Naoki Nagayama didn't continue to put pressure on Akihiro Hirayama, just left a sentence, "My promise is valid until I pick up the car. Call me when you pick up the car~"

Then he got back into his convertible and left.

Akihiro Hirayama watched the car disappear at the shop door and suddenly felt a little cold on his back. It turned out that it had been soaked with sweat.

"Who exactly is this Naoki Nagayama?"

Clearly only in his twenties, but when he tempts people, he is like a devil.

Naoki Nagayama, sitting in the car, was blowing the wind very easily at this time. In his heart, he could actually only be about 2 months early at most. Spending 2 million, it would be just in time for the fireworks at that time.

If it could be earlier, it's not impossible. If he could pick up the car tomorrow, it would be even better. Anyway, spending 6 million at most.

The man with nearly 800 million in his bank account was a little insensitive to numbers.

He didn't expect at all that the convertible he was sitting in was only 8 million.

This morning, Masuki Kobayashi of Shochiku Films was eating breakfast while reading the newspaper, and suddenly saw an advertisement on a certain page.

"This is Tree Friend Films? Recruitment advertisement?" He adjusted his glasses and looked at it carefully. "This is an invitation advertisement for movie casting?"

"Eh? Can you find actors like this?"

This way of breaking the rules made Masuki Kobayashi suddenly feel that he saw a new world. "Haha, it looks like a young person's way of doing things! But this will make the agency unhappy, right?"

After saying that, he drank the porridge in big mouthfuls, changed his clothes, and rushed to the workplace.

Such an interesting thing, of course, must be shared with friends first.

At the same time, several large agencies also saw this role invitation information. The planning department head of the old-fashioned Watanabe Production smiled disdainfully.

"Wanting to use the form of spreading a wide net to catch the fish in the fish pond, don't you know that these fish are all raised by us?"

As one of the few large agencies in Japan, he indeed has the confidence to say so. Those famous movie production companies also have to choose actors from them, and agencies like Johnny's and Yoshimoto Kogyo have similar attitudes.

However, Ikuo Suo, the president of the Burning agency, also saw this strange role invitation at this time.

"Omoshiroi~ It's the same as selecting idols."

Unlike other old-fashioned agencies, the Burning agency is composed of many small agencies. When it doesn't involve important decisions, the agencies underneath naturally have to eat. For such role invitations, there will be people who care.

Not to mention those small agencies on the verge of bankruptcy.

Shuichi Yin Tang and Otomo Yoshimura never expected that a few hours after the newspaper was issued, the phone in the studio would never stop! ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
