Chapter 305: The future of getting rich is being realized step by step

It's also very strange. It's clear that the slightly natural-dazed Tsukushi played by Mieko Harada is so iconic,

but this young lady is actually a black-bellied person who likes to tease people in private.

Fortunately, the remaining modified *Hana Yori Dango* plot didn't have too many ambiguous scenes, otherwise Naoki Nagayama didn't know how he would be teased by the older young lady~

The overcast clouds of the past few days finally accumulated enough water vapor, and today they sprinkled it into the high and low buildings of Tokyo.

However, when it rained, it was just right to film the rain scenes.

Domyoji Tsukasa, played by Noriyuki Higashiyama of Shonentai, happened to encounter the most rain scenes.

"Higashiyama... can your body still take it?" Naoki Nagayama asked Noriyuki Higashiyama, who was currently shivering under a blanket under the rain shelter. "In this weather..."

The temperature in Tokyo in January was still below 10 degrees, and it was this kind of rainy day.

"Daijoubu..." After shivering for a while, Noriyuki Higashiyama seemed to have recovered. After all, he was a 17-year-old boy, and there were equipment like hot water.

Yin Tang-san, who was next to the camera, watched for a while on the machine, then ran over and said: "This take can pass..." Then he looked at the rain that didn't seem to be stopping for a while.

"Let's leave it at that for today... It looks like we can't film for the time being."

Hearing this, the actors and staff living in the student apartment were all happy to pack up their things and prepare to take a good rest. After all, they had been filming continuously for more than a week.

Because of the sudden half-day holiday due to the rainy day, Naoki Nagayama didn't want to stay in the university town. Isn't his own little western-style house fragrant?

However, Yin Tang-san stopped him.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san asked me to notify you before. If you have time, go to the studio."

"Eh? Is there anything?"

"It seems to be about the idol releasing records."

Things about idols? Naoki Nagayama started thinking in the car. Speaking of which, in their gg agency, there were already 5 artists, but the only one truly focused on the idol business seemed to be Junko Ito, perhaps Yuki Saito later.

Junko Ito's previous song *Snowy Night*, although it also invited a well-known composer, the popularity was actually not very good, and the best result was only in the top 30 of the Oricon chart.

Also because of this, at the FNS Music Festival, she missed the FNS Newcomer Award and lost to Akina.

Is this her new song?

Wait, Yuki Saito's debut song also seemed to be released in the near future. Could it be because of this too?

In short, both of their own idols were at the node of releasing songs. This time it was probably about these two people~

When there was a filming project, the studio was much emptier.

However, Riko Hayano was a planner who stayed indoors for a long time, so she was always there. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, she hurriedly stood up to greet him:

"Naoki-san, why are you back? Aren't you filming?"

"Ah, because it's raining, so we got a half-day holiday~" Naoki Nagayama wiped Eitaro, who was slightly rained on, with a tissue. "Is Otomo-san here? I heard there's something to find me?"

Riko Hayano reacted immediately: "Hai, Otomo-san is in the conference room, Junko-chan, Yuki-chan, and Masami-san are also there."

"I see, it seems both of them came this time. Riko-chan, please help me look after Eitaro first~"

"Hai~"

Naoki Nagayama knocked on the door of the conference room, then pushed the door and walked in.

"Otomo-san, I'm back~"

The small conference room was already sitting with 4 people, looking a bit crowded.

Otomo Yoshimura was a bit surprised: "Naoki-san is back so early?"

"Hmm, because it's raining, Yin Tang-san gave us a holiday." He had to explain it again, then asked directly, "Otomo-san called me back, is it for Junko-chan and Yuki-chan?"

Otomo Yoshimura nodded: "I originally wanted to discuss it with you later, but since Naoki-san is here, let's discuss it together."

As an idol in the rising phase, Junko Ito's schedule was actually very busy. Every time she came to the studio, she might miss Naoki Nagayama, so the two could be said not to have seen each other for more than two months.

"Junko-chan, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time~"

"Hai, I always missed you~"

This idol, who was in the same period as Akina, seemed to have experienced a lot in the entertainment industry, and had slowly been tempered to be a bit mature. The shyness that appeared when she first saw Naoki Nagayama was no longer on her face, and she talked to Naoki Nagayama generously.

"But Naoki-san's news has always appeared in my ears. Thinking about it this way, it seems like I haven't missed anything~"

"Hahaha, that's interesting to say~ I hope all the news that reaches Junko-chan's ears is good news~"

Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a tea party, Otomo Yoshimura hurriedly coughed twice and cleared his throat:

"Ahem, Naoki-san, we just talked about the promotion of Yuki-chan's debut song."

Naoki Nagayama then turned his attention back: "Hmm, the promotion plan was designed by Riko Hayano before, right? I've seen it. Is there any problem?"

"The plan is no problem. This time we want to determine the final release time."

"What date did you set?"

"Currently, it is determined to be March 10th, after the live broadcast of the Japan Academy Film Prize." Otomo Yoshimura said. "Didn't Naoki-san say that there is no problem with the Best Newcomer Award?"

"Hmm, it's indeed possible. The news from Director Masaki Kobayashi is that it is indeed highly likely to be Yuki-chan." Naoki Nagayama looked at Yuki Saito, who couldn't hide her smile next to him. "Yuki-chan, congratulations in advance~"

"Arigato, Naoki-san!"

"In that case, the whole of February can be promoted~" Otomo Yoshimura nodded to confirm. "Masami-kun, you can run around everywhere after this!"

"Hai, I understand!" Masami Inada nodded in response.

Currently, Otomo Yoshimura had turned from an on-site manager to a more behind-the-scenes production manager, responsible for record production and resource connection, while Masami Inada was growing towards a chief manager, mainly responsible for record sales and publicity.

So contacting TV stations and event parties was all his work.

After Otomo Yoshimura set Yuki Saito's affairs, he looked at Junko Ito: "Next is Junko-chan's matter..."

Junko Ito looked at Otomo Yoshimura, and her face also became serious.

Otomo Yoshimura said: "The sales of Junko-chan's previous song didn't meet expectations... So for the next one, I'm considering whether to transform."

"Transform?" Naoki Nagayama was also interested. "What style to transform into?"

"I want to try to see if I can try the delinquent and rebellious style like Akina Nakamori."

"Currently, the delinquent style has a lot of market... We can try... invite someone..." Otomo Yoshimura talked endlessly, filling the conference room with his voice.

"It does have a market... but" Naoki Nagayama looked at Junko Ito, who was like a quiet lady and didn't refute. "With a personality like Junko-chan who is submissive, how can she show rebellion..."

Do you think everyone is Akina Nakamori?

Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama began to discover the shortcomings of their agency. Currently, the debut and release of the two artists basically followed his own songs.

Otomo Yoshimura was experienced as a manager and was very good at publicity and promotion... However, he was not a professional music producer, and he was very lacking in sensitivity and production ability for records.

It seems I have to find one~

However, seeing Otomo-san talking eloquently and rushing straight towards the wrong path, Naoki Nagayama was thinking about how to dispel his idea.

"Naoki-san, do you have any opinions?" Otomo Yoshimura, who had been talking for a long time, finally stopped and asked after taking a sip of water.

Between flashes of thought, Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Otomo-san's words make a lot of sense. The rebellious style is indeed just right, so let's go in this direction... I originally thought there was a song that could be Junko-san's next song, but now it seems we can wait."

Junko Ito's eyes obviously lit up, staring fixedly at Naoki Nagayama, but still didn't speak.

Otomo Yoshimura also opened his eyes wide: "Which song? *Unrequited Love* or *Happy Ending*?"

Otomo Yoshimura knew that *Meteor Shower*, *One Person's Romance*, and *Reminiscing* had already been set for Yutaka Ozaki. There should only be these two left in Naoki Nagayama's song library.

"Ah, not these two, it's a new song, *Dislocated Time*"

"When did Naoki-san have another one?!" Otomo Yoshimura's tone was full of surprise. Didn't he say there were only 5 before?!

Then he instantly understood that this guy Naoki Nagayama had hidden it again!

"Naoki-san..." The resentful voice made Naoki Nagayama feel a bit uncomfortable...

"Hahaha, I just wrote it recently~" If Otomo Yoshimura knew that he still had *When Cherry Blossoms Fly*, *Sudden Love*, *Snow Flower*, etc., wouldn't he jump up.

Otomo Yoshimura calmed down after being surprised, and then became happy again. After all, he knew Naoki Nagayama's talent. With this song, he could at least guarantee a top ten result on the Oricon chart!

At this time, he heard him say again: "However, since it is decided that Junko-chan is going to take the delinquent style, then for the time being..."

"Wait!" Otomo Yoshimura hurriedly shouted, then coughed tactically. "Ahem, Ano, Naoki-san."

"Nani?"

"That is to say, it's already the end of January. If we want to find a composer to customize a song again, it feels a bit late." Otomo Yoshimura continued, as if he was really considering the limitations of customizing a rebellious song.

"How about we use this song to transition first?"

Naoki Nagayama held back his laughter: "Is this okay? The delinquent rebellious style has a very high acceptance..."

Otomo Yoshimura said affirmatively: "Daijoubu, Naoki-san's songs will definitely be fine. As for the delinquent rebellious style, it won't be too late to try it next time!"

"Well, since Otomo-san said so, let's use this one first."

"Hmm..."

Between the two of them, Junko Ito's next song was decided, and the singer herself had no say at all.

However, fortunately, this time it was still Naoki Nagayama's song.

In fact, this is the usual situation in the entertainment industry. Idol singers like Akina who offer opinions on record production are rare.

After discussing and setting the next development of the two idols, Naoki Nagayama took Eitaro back to Shanyingyuan.

Under the continuous overcast rain, even with the air conditioning on, he felt a bit damp and cold on his body.

In this weather, naturally, he had to eat some food that could make him hot!

Naoki Nagayama took out the hot pot stove in the storage room and decided to have a family-style hot pot today!

In this era, there was no hot pot base that could be used immediately after opening, so the soup base still had to be made by himself, but fortunately, there were already seasoning packets.

Taking advantage of the early sky, Naoki Nagayama went directly to the nearby supermarket, bought some fresh beef and mutton, asked the master to slice it into thin slices with a slicer, and of course, there was no shortage of vegetables and mushrooms.

When he returned to Shanyingyuan, a pot of bone soup had already been boiled, and the whole kitchen was fragrant.

Pouring the bone soup into the small hot pot on the table, slicing the purchased side dishes and putting them on plates, and adjusting the homemade sauce dish, he found that Eitaro next to him was already drooling.

"Alright, alright, there's no shortage of yours!"

Filling the dog bowl with dog food, pouring some bone soup into it, and then putting two large bones with meat on them, this was the extra meal for Eitaro today.

A window separated two worlds. Outside the window was the cold overcast rain, while inside the window was the steaming hot pot. Naoki Nagayama put the beef in the milky white soup base for a few times, and fished it out while it was still a little pink.

Putting it into his mouth in one bite, chewing a few times, the delicious meat juice exploded on his tongue. He couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of the soup base or the fragrance of the beef. He only felt a tender and smooth taste, swallowing into his throat with a thick meaty fragrance.

The mutton was dipped in homemade sesame sauce, fresh, tender, smooth, and elastic. The taste of meat juice and sauce mixed together, as if opening a lively dance party on the tongue.

Tired of meat, there were also crisp lettuce, soft mushrooms, tender old tofu...

After eating this homemade family hot pot, Naoki Nagayama was in a warm atmosphere, completely unable to feel the overcast rain outside.

Watching TV on the sofa in the living room, occasionally eating a peeled honey tangerine, it was really too satisfying~

Just when Naoki Nagayama thought the night would pass leisurely like this, the phone next to the sofa rang.

"Moshi Moshi, this is Shanyingyuan~"

"Naoki?" A young male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Genta? It's me, it's me!"

Speaking of which, Genta Nakai was actually the first friend Naoki Nagayama made in the Showa era, even earlier than Otomo Yoshimura and Yin Tang-san.

Speaking of which, Genta Nakai's romance was witnessed by Naoki Nagayama, and he even attended his wedding with Suzumi Hoshino...

In short, the two got along very well and were already close friends. I don't know when they started calling each other more casually.

"Naoki, the thing you asked me to help with before is done."

"Really? The speed is really fast."

Before the New Year, Naoki Nagayama mentioned to Genta Nakai his willingness to invest in US stocks, and then asked him to help establish an American shell investment company, create offshore accounts, etc. Now it seems it's done.

"After all, they are all routine operations. Many rich people in Japan do this." In this era, going to the US to invest in Japan is a very fashionable practice.

"In that case, I will ask the finance department to transfer 2 billion tomorrow."

Genta Nakai gasped, "All 2 billion?! Naoki, do you really want to play that big?"

"Hai! Genta, I am very confident this time!" Naoki Nagayama said quietly. "The news is absolutely reliable!"

It is already the last year of US stagflation. Naoki Nagayama clearly remembers that around March 1983, the Federal Reserve will announce an interest rate hike, after which the US stock market will usher in a growth of 5 or 6 years.

Buying a batch of good stocks at this stage, earning US dollars, and then changing them all back to yen when the bubble starts, buying domestic assets...

The future of getting rich is walking towards me step by step!

"Genta, believe me!"

Genta Nakai on the other end of the phone was hesitant, because Naoki Nagayama had invited him to participate in the operation before. Now that Naoki Nagayama has started with real money, he is a little scared instead...

"Naoki, let me consider it again~"

Sigh... Naoki Nagayama can understand. Originally, inviting Genta Nakai to join was partly because he needed an experienced hand in finance, and partly because he wanted his friends to make some money together.

Even if Naoki Nagayama loses all 2 billion, there is at least more than 500 million in the account, and there will be more ways to make money in the future, so his mentality can be very relaxed.

But for Genta Nakai, this requires a choice. ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
