Chapter 367: Starting today, I am a person who has both cats and dogs!
In the past few days, the funds on the account reached 4.2 billion. Naoki Nagayama felt that he couldn't let the money rust in the account, so after thinking about it, he decided to start a journey of buying, buying, buying.
Real estate naturally goes without saying. He had already entrusted Fujita Keiko to look for suitable hills and real estate in Tokyo and Kyoto. Since he already had a lot of money, he wanted to arrange a property in a city with a sense of history like Kyoto, preferably a larger Japanese-style courtyard.
In addition, Naoki Nagayama thought about buying a hill before... After thinking about it recently, he decided to buy a piece of land in the Lake Toya area of Hokkaido and build a new vacation house~
When going there for vacation, he must bring a wooden sword engraved with Lake Toya!
For this, Fujita Keiko, who served as a private real estate consultant, opened her eyes wide:
"Naoki-san, buying land everywhere... are you trying to open a real estate company?"
Naoki Nagayama was really pointed out by this sentence: "Keiko-san, speaking of which, opening a real estate company is not bad~ Maybe a property management company is also okay~"
It can be foreseen that as his assets become more and more, it is very difficult to manage these properties under his name alone, not to mention that if he really wants to catch the fast lane of the bubble era, the real estate industry is definitely one of the biggest lanes.
And... the Yongshan Group in his hometown seems to be able to play a big role in the real estate company.
"Does Naoki-san really have such an idea?"
Fujita Keiko never takes what Naoki Nagayama says casually as really casual now, because in just two years, this guy has purchased nearly 1 billion in real estate from her side.
"However, opening a real estate company... sounds very complicated~" Naoki Nagayama said leisurely in the reception room of Mitsui Real Estate, drinking the free tea provided.
The future is bright, but the things of managing a real estate company are really too busy... Life is only a few decades, do you really want to let yourself step into this busy life again?
"Well~ this kind of thing depends on the situation~"
Naoki Nagayama, who didn't make a decision after thinking for a long time, said like a rascal,
"Keiko-san, please help me find an old-fashioned Japanese-style courtyard in Tokyo or Kyoto first. I don't ask for a big mansion like an ancient noble, but it's best to have some sense of history~"
Fujita Keiko rubbed her temples distressingly: "Such courtyards are either historical buildings or in the countryside... It's very difficult to find them in Tokyo or Kyoto city~"
"I know~ That's why I came to entrust the capable Keiko-san~" Naoki Nagayama said, "The budget is 1 billion! Don't forget the land in Hokkaido~"
"Hai~"
After coming to Mitsui Real Estate in the morning and telling the capable Fujita Keiko about his needs, the sun just climbed to the mountainside.
Mitsui Real Estate is located in Shibuya Ward, next to the prosperous commercial street. The bright sun covered the whole street with a bright film, but it didn't feel hot, making Naoki Nagayama have the desire to go shopping for a long time.
Although it is not a rest day, Shibuya is still crowded with people.
Fashionable young men and women hold hands and laugh on the street, making Naoki Nagayama, who is alone, a little jealous. If only he had brought Yingtailang here~
Occasionally, in the park, a group of schoolgirls are playing badminton. The white shirt and black suspender skirt seem to be the school uniform, simple and fashionable, which is much better than the student uniform in China!
Occasionally, you can see young people playing instruments in the park or under the trees. Passersby will occasionally stop to listen for a while, and then leave with a smile.
The products in the shops along the street are all moving towards summer, various bright short sleeves, short skirts, sunglasses, sunscreen, moisturizing essence, etc. In the department stores, there are various small appliances, such as fans, air conditioners, etc., and the big characters of promotional activities are posted at the door of the shop, for fear that others will not see them.
Walking in the crowd at will, browsing the shops on the commercial street curiously, and going in to see what is interesting, soon he had a pair of tea-colored toad glasses on his face~
When passing by a bookstore, the latest magazine displayed in front of the door suddenly attracted Naoki Nagayama's attention. It was Akina Nakamori!
The name of the magazine is *Star*, a monthly magazine with major stars in the Japanese entertainment industry as the theme, and the protagonist this time is this popular idol who has just debuted for one year.
"Omoshiroi~"
Looking at the picture on the cover, Akina, who is full of youthful atmosphere, is playing tricks. Naoki Nagayama took the magazine from the display rack and went to the front desk to pay.
The shop owner is an uncle over 40, who greets guests very enthusiastically. When taking the magazine, he was still saying:
"Ah, this one again, the sales of this magazine are very good today!"
"Is it?" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Akina is very popular~"
"Yeah, the hottest idol this year~ It's not bad compared to Seiko Matsuda~" The shopkeeper uncle who was talking about it handed the change to Naoki Nagayama, "Wasn't there a very popular variety show two days ago? But it's just that he knew that playboy Naoki early, really worried about whether he would be cheated..."
"Uh..."
It seems that this shopkeeper is Akina Nakamori's fan, but being so arranged in front of another protagonist makes Naoki Nagayama feel a bit awkward.
However, if he said he was Naoki Nagayama at this time, it should be even more awkward!
"Yeah... Akina looks very simple, really worrying!" Naoki Nagayama finally chose to agree with the shopkeeper.
"Hmm, especially that playboy Naoki has so many tricks! Recently, when my daughter was stuffed with love letters at school, they were all 'I hope there is someone like you...'"
The shopkeeper uncle had been holding this sentence for a long time: "The key is that my daughter actually agreed to date that guy! Damn it, why didn't anyone teach me how to write love letters when I was in school!"
"Hehe..."
This shopkeeper-san, are you Naoki Nagayama's black or fan? I, the protagonist, can't distinguish it a bit~
"Young love is always reckless~ Because it is all sincere inside~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Only such love will be more cherished!"
"Well said!" The shopkeeper looked at the young man in front of him and felt more and more familiar, "The guest is very familiar! I always feel like I've seen you somewhere! Do we know each other?"
Naoki Nagayama took the bag containing the magazine and was ready to leave: "Haha~ I have a common face, many people say I look kind~"
"I see, then guest, please go slowly!"
The shopkeeper bowed slightly, sent the guest out of the shop door, and then the question in his heart became heavier and heavier,
"Where have I seen it?"
Naoki Nagayama, who was wearing a pair of toad glasses covering most of his face and a short-sleeved T-shirt, just put on a pair of jeans and went out this morning...
In the crowded Shibuya street, this kind of dress can easily blend into the crowd. As long as it is not specifically looking for it, who can recognize that this is the person who appeared on the TV?
"He is playboy Naoki!
!"
Naoki Nagayama, who was a little distance away from the shop door, heard the shop owner's roar and hurriedly quickened his pace, as if he were a customer who was afraid of being caught by the boss without paying.
"Actually recognized?"
To avoid continuing to be recognized and causing chaos, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly returned to his car, and then stepped on the accelerator, coming to the Cat's Eye Cafe.
Pushing open the shop door, as expected, Shuichi Yin Tang was filming in this cafe, but there were much fewer crew members and filming equipment.
"Kimura-kun~" Naoki Nagayama patted Xu Kimura's shoulder as usual, "Why are there so few people?"
Xu Kimura still didn't adapt to being patted on the shoulder suddenly, and his whole body trembled: "Naoki-san... scared me to death~"
"In broad daylight, what is there to be afraid of!"
"No one has ever patted me from behind!" Xu Kimura beeped in a low voice, but considering that the other party was his boss's boss, he still answered the question,
"There are very few scenes in the cafe, and most of the staff have gone to the next set to prepare."
"Next set?"
"Hai, the plot is almost at the end, and after today, the set of this cafe is unnecessary."
At this moment, Shuichi Yin Tang also found Naoki Nagayama, so he walked over: "Naoki-san, you're here~"
"Yeah, come over to see the filming situation."
Naoki Nagayama was pulled to a coffee table: "Naoki-san, there is something I need to apply to you~"
This question made Naoki Nagayama laugh: "Apply? What is Xiu-san talking about?"
When filming a movie, Shuichi Yin Tang is in charge of everything. Other things can be discussed with Dayou Fangcun. How can there be things that need Naoki Nagayama's consent.
"Ano, it's almost time to film the ending~" Shuichi Yin Tang said, "But at the end, it's in Germany~"
"So..."
Shuichi Yin Tang coughed: "Cough, so for the authenticity of the work, I want to apply to film on the banks of the Rhine in Germany!"
Heh~ public-funded travel? I haven't even been to Germany myself, Shuichi Yin Tang, you thick-browed guy actually want to go first?!
Naoki Nagayama saw through Shuichi Yin Tang's meaning at a glance, and even pulled on the reason for the quality of the work.
"What did Dayou-san say?"
Public-funded travel, this kind of thing is definitely not in the budget of movie production. This is definitely a temporary demand added by the director. As a member of the production committee, Dayou Fangcun naturally would not agree, so he found Naoki Nagayama.
"Dayou-san said to find a river in Japan~ and then find a European-style street to film..." Shuichi Yin Tang said with a bit of pity, but isn't this the daily life of most production crews with insufficient budget?
"Hahaha~ Dayou-san is really good at saving money!" 【
Naoki Nagayama watched the furtive glances coming from the others in the film crew and realized in his heart what the crew was expecting.
As for the company Naoki Film, it had made quite a bit of money over the past two years. Last year was the first year, so there wasn't much to say; naturally, there were no major benefits or the like, so just handing out a red envelope at the end of the year was enough.
As for this year, when chatting with Kuniharu Morikawa and Genta Nakai, he had already said that he would refer to the benefits of other companies and organize an overseas trip for everyone... but it was still in the discussion stage.
Shuichi Yin Tang said, "We are all doing this for the quality of the TV series!"
"Hmm, I believe you~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Shuichi-san, going out to film is fine, but this is an expenditure outside the budget..."
"Naoki-san, please be sure to consider it!"
"What I mean is, if we go out this time, the filming crew can go too! You can also take this opportunity to go to Germany and have some fun~" Before he finished speaking, there was a chorus of cheers from around him, "But if we go abroad this time, then... there will be no spots left for the company's overseas trip this year!"
"Eh?!"
Many employees were hearing about this overseas trip for the first time, and the discussion in the cafe suddenly became heated!
After Naoki Nagayama dropped this news in the cafe, he watched the mood of the employees inside become increasingly high, and then, under the arrangements of Masataka Komori and Shuichi Yin Tang, they began their filming work with even higher efficiency.
Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a weight on his knees. The chubby ginger cat had actually jumped onto his lap, then shook its head and found a comfortable position, exposing its belly, and looked at the bipedal beast in front of it with slightly narrowed eyes:
"Meow!" (Pet me, master!)
What a guy who isn't afraid of strangers!
Naoki Nagayama gently scratched Meow Taro's belly, and soon made the cat purr.
"Shuichi-san!" Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of something, "Since the cafe set is about to be dismantled, does Meow Taro not need to be there anymore?"
"Hai!" Shuichi Yin Tang looked over, "As for Meow Taro, we plan to send him back to the pet shop later."
After this period of time, Meow Taro's good personality made the Cat's Eye sisters want to keep him, but the place they lived in was still the agency's employee apartment, where pets were not allowed, and the other employees also had their own concerns.
"Send him back~"
Naoki Nagayama's hand paused, causing Meow Taro to let out an unhappy meow, and he even patted the bipedal beast's hand with his paw, signaling Naoki Nagayama to continue:
"Haha~ Shuichi-san, since you're going to send him back, why don't I keep him~"
"Eh? Are you sure, Naoki-san?"
"Well~ Meow Taro is very affectionate, and he seems to have a real connection with Eitaro~"
That's right, even their names are similar.
Since he decided to keep the cat, Naoki Nagayama immediately put the big ginger cat into a cat carrier and went to the pet shop where he rented it to complete the adoption procedures.
He didn't expect Meow Taro to be the shop's treasure; it cost quite a bit of money to buy him, and he also spent a lot on cat products at the pet shop, such as toys, a cat bed, and a cat tree.
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama brought Meow Taro back to Shanyingyuan.
When he got out of the car with the cat carrier, Eitaro had already run over excitedly, his tail wagging like a windmill. His master usually only came back at night; was he really back so early today?
"Yoshi yoshi, good boy, Eitaro!" Naoki Nagayama freed up a hand to pet the big dog, then brought him inside.
For the safety of the cat and dog's first meeting, Naoki Nagayama grabbed Eitaro by the neck and pressed him onto the living room carpet.
"Eitaro, I brought you a playmate today! You can't scare him!"
As he said this, he opened the cat carrier he had placed in front of him.
Meow Taro was a cat who had seen the world and was not panicked by arriving in a new place. After raising his head to scan the surrounding environment, he slowly walked out.
"Meow?" (Is this my new residence?)
"Woof!" (What is this!)
Eitaro had encountered some stray cats before, but he had never seen one in the house. He looked very excited, and his tail started wagging again.
Meow Taro, who had just come out, shrank his head when he heard the dog bark, but after observing, he seemed to feel that Eitaro was not a threat, so he regained his calm expression and began to circle the cat carrier to familiarize himself with the new environment.
Seeing that the situation seemed under control, Naoki Nagayama relaxed his hand pressing on Eitaro. The big white dog foolishly approached the ginger cat, started sniffing, and then couldn't stop rubbing his head against Meow Taro...
And then... unsurprisingly... Meow Taro, annoyed by the rubbing, slapped him in the face with a paw!
Eitaro didn't expect to be hit; he even froze for a moment before running back to Naoki Nagayama's side, feeling aggrieved...
"Hmm, it looks like they've become friends through fighting!"
Meow Taro knew his limits and didn't use his claws, so Eitaro's face was completely uninjured. Naoki Nagayama patted the dog on the head.
"From today on, I am a person who has both a cat and a dog~"
