Chapter 551

After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama sent Akina back to the apartment and then turned to the disco street in Takadanobaba.

The Honma Design Office called yesterday, saying that the initial design draft had been completed, and asked Naoki Nagayama to find a time to take a look.

And yesterday was really busy, so it was changed to today. It happened to bring Brother Feng along...... to accumulate some experience for his KTV in the future.

As usual, he entered the disco from the back door. In the morning, the cleaning staff arrived first, and they were cleaning in an orderly manner, preparing for the opening in the afternoon.

Under the leadership of Shizhi Araki, Naoki Nagayama found Feng Nagayama who was conscientiously checking the sound and lighting system.

"Brother Feng, you are very serious!"

It was hard for such a big man to actually bend down and study the dense sockets.

Feng Nagayama was very happy to see his cousin come: "Naoki, why did you come today?"

"It's about the KTV." Naoki Nagayama and Feng Nagayama came to the brighter hall, "The design office said the initial version of the design is out."

"Eh? That fast~"

Feng Nagayama was even happier when he heard this. This meant that the new nightclub was about to start officially!

"Yeah, Brother Feng shouldn't have anything to do in the morning, right? Go and see with me?"

"Okay! Then of course I have to go!"

Naoki Nagayama saw that Feng Nagayama agreed and turned to Shizhi Araki, "Zhi-san, go too? After all, you are the one who will manage that KTV later."

"Hi!"

Shizhi Araki naturally didn't refute, but communicated with his confidant Guangxiong Jinze neatly, and then drove to follow Naoki Nagayama's Toyota Century.

Feng Nagayama sat in the passenger seat and suddenly looked at the atmospheric Toyota Century with some envy: "Naoki, this car is very expensive, right?"

"It's okay~" Naoki Nagayama replied vaguely, and then seemed to realize something, "Does Brother Feng want to buy a car?"

"Yeah, that Mazda at the sumo stable is too old......"

Feng Nagayama looked at the disco street outside the car window. Although it was still morning, the cars of some rich young masters who had been partying all night yesterday were still left here.

If it were at night, the luxury cars here would be countless. All of this made Feng Nagayama, who had been learning at the disco these days, extremely envious.

Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, remained silent. With Brother Feng's assets, he probably couldn't afford his own Toyota Century yet.... However, the Yamaguchi-gumi back home had remitted 500 million in advance.....

Phew, can't teach Brother Feng to misappropriate public funds!

"Haha, if Brother Feng wants to buy, you can go and consult first." Naoki Nagayama searched in the locker and sure enough found the contact information of the sales manager of the Toyota specialty store, Zhaohong Ping Shan, "Good cars all need to wait in line..... Sometimes it's normal not to get a car for half a year."

Toyota Century, a car model with many handmade parts, is indeed very slow, and other luxury cars might be fast.

"Wait until Brother Feng's KTV opens in the second half of the year, and then you can buy it directly."

Nightclubs in Tokyo in this era can be called cash cows. The monthly turnover of this disco in Takadanobaba is a car. Coupled with the scale of the KTV that the Nagayama Group plans to open, at the end of the second half of the year, you can definitely afford a good car.

"Yeah!" Feng Nagayama took the business card.

When they arrived at the Honma Design Office, the three people, Guishi Honma, Zhiya Sakata, and Xinhai Shi Tian, were already waiting in the studio.

Even though this was the first draft, they also made a model.

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Guishi Honma greeted Naoki Nagayama enthusiastically, and then turned to look at the two people beside him.

"Yeah, Honma-san." Naoki Nagayama introduced at the right time, "This is Feng Nagayama, my cousin, and the other is Shizhi Araki, the future manager of the KTV."

"Nice to meet you.... Please take care of me!" XN

After a complicated meeting, the people on both sides finally got to know each other. Guishi Honma chatted a few words, and then pulled people directly to the middle of the studio, pointing to the model on the table and saying:

"Naoki-san, we have made the first draft according to the opinions communicated before. Please come and take a look."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the lifelike three-story building model on the table and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the three people at the Honma Design Office. It was indeed exquisite.

The front half of the first floor followed the original European bar style, retaining the bar counter, but after renovation, the wine cabinet was expanded, the seats were reduced, the hall was changed into an empty waiting area, and two Pachinko machines were placed beside it for entertainment.....

The small private rooms separated inside were all the smallest private rooms, the kind that could only hold three or five people.

Zhiya Sakata held the design drawing in his hand, explaining while pointing at the model: "The walls of the private rooms use sound-insulating materials, the seats use genuine leather materials, and the main colors are black and red...... The position of Karaoke is reserved here, the song ordering station, the player...."

Naoki Nagayama, Feng Nagayama, and Shizhi Araki listened while watching, but only Naoki Nagayama was comparing it with the KTV in his mind, and the other two just didn't know why but felt it was powerful.

"The fire escape is reserved here. The fire prevention measures in the KTV are in accordance with the standards of fire inspection, and several fire-fighting equipment have been added!"

Feng Nagayama nodded in response: "Yeah yeah, safety is very important."

The second and third floors were all private rooms. According to the structure of the building, medium-sized private rooms for 5-10 people and large private rooms for 10-20 people were distributed.

"It can accommodate nearly 500 people at the same time in total...." Zhiya Sakata said so.

Naoki Nagayama already believed in the ability of the Honma Design Office very much, and was quite satisfied with the design style, but still put forward opinions:

"Honma-san, do you remember Sanmeiju? Similarly, the two large private rooms on the third floor and the small private rooms beside them are combined into two super-large private rooms, and by the way, two medium-sized private rooms are reserved, designed to be more luxurious, with crystal chandeliers, marble tables, gilded decorations..... as KTV for important guests."

"Uh..... Hi!" Guishi Honma nodded and agreed.

Next, Naoki Nagayama let Feng Nagayama and Shizhi Araki look at the design drawings and models carefully, understand the difference between KTV and other nightclubs carefully, and see if they could put forward some opinions. After all, they were the ones who would open the store in the future!

Just when Naoki Nagayama was drinking tea and resting, Xinhai Shi Tian, who had just joined the office, walked over a bit shyly:

"Naoki-san...."

"Ah, Shi Tian-san, what's wrong?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"Ano.... didn't you give us a design for the Lake Toya vacation house before? I have already completed it!" Xinhai Shi Tian's voice was a bit small, but she still finished it very seriously.

"Oh..... it's already completed~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, and then looked at Xinhai Shi Tian who was standing there blankly..... For a time, an awkward silence appeared between the two.

After a few breaths, Naoki Nagayama spoke first:

"...... So, Shi Tian-san, don't you plan to show me the design drawing?"

"Ah!!!" Xinhai Shi Tian only then reacted, hurriedly ran to the inner room to take out the design drawing, her face blushing, "Sumimasen, this is the design drawing....."

Naoki Nagayama took it. The first thing he saw was the overall effect drawing, a wooden one-story vacation house, slightly higher than the ground to ensure moisture isolation. The atmosphere of the logs was a three-bedroom house that tended to be modern, a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen.....

According to the previous requirements, there was a stone fireplace and a viewing balcony...... Outside was the beautiful scenery of Lake Toya, and on the gentle slope were lush green plants.

"There is no problem with the design of the house....." Nordic style, minimalist configuration was quite to his liking, "However, Shi Tian-san.... I hope the living room faces the direction of Lake Toya, using large-area floor-to-ceiling glass to facilitate viewing."

"Hi!" Xinhai Shi Tian recorded it with a small notebook.

"Then, there is a natural hot spring on the side of Lake Toya, I like it very much......" Naoki Nagayama pointed to the plot beside it and said, "I remember there is a hot spring right here..... so I hope to build an open-air hot spring beside it....."

"Eh? An open-air hot spring?" Xinhai Shi Tian was a bit surprised. Generally, it is only available in a hot spring hall with a large area. If it is built beside the vacation house, are you not afraid of being seen? "Naoki-san, regarding privacy....... although it is relatively remote, there will still be neighbors walking around, right?"

"Ah, didn't Honma-san say?" Naoki Nagayama glanced at the little girl in front of him, "This gentle slope is all the land I bought!

So it will be circled with wooden fences or thorny shrubs at that time, and one side is a barren mountain, the other side is a low valley, and the gathering area is past the valley, so there are no neighbors near the vacation house."

"!!!"

Naoki Nagayama continued: "The gentle slope around the vacation house, don't use this kind of green plants, change them all to cosmos! I like to see the sea of cosmos flowers....."

"......."

Xinhai Shi Tian listened blankly. She only then discovered that rich people could play so high....

After a few people left the Honma Design Office, Xinhai Shi Tian asked her teacher:

"Teacher Honma, Senior Sakata......"

"Is that Naoki Nagayama particularly rich?"

Guishi Honma nodded: "Naoki-san should be considered a rich person."

Zhiya Sakata was still young after all, and praised: "What is called a rich person, he is clearly a tycoon! Xinhai-chan, you haven't been to the courtyard project in Kyoto, right?"

"Hmm? I wanted to go, wasn't it delayed by this design task?"

"That courtyard of up to 1,000 tsubo (3000㎡) is Naoki Nagayama's private residence! Very atmospheric and gorgeous......" Zhiya Sakata said, "If it were in ancient times, Naoki-san would at least be considered a noble in one place."

Guishi Honma rolled up the design draft and hit Zhiya Sakata on the head with a slap: "Sakata, don't discuss the client!"

Then he looked at Xinhai Shi Tian: "However, Naoki-san, although there is some distance from the heirs of the consortium, the descendants of politicians, and the descendants of the Huazu, he is indeed a rich person...... He is also a writer!"

"If Xinhai-chan can catch this golden turtle son-in-law, that is a very good result!"

Xinhai Shi Tian's face was immediately covered with blushes, and she said shyly: "Who wants to catch a golden turtle son-in-law!!!"

Then she ran into the workroom.

Zhiya Sakata outside shouted at her: "He is also a big handsome guy!"

With a crash, it seemed that something was knocked over.....

Since they were out, they naturally couldn't just look at a design drawing and go back.

Naoki Nagayama prepared to go to the liaison office of the Karaoke machine equipment brand DAM in Tokyo with the two. Dozens of large Karaoke machines, and maybe hundreds in the future, this is not a small business.

The company of the DAM brand is called Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd., and its headquarters is in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.

Having called before, after arriving at the headquarters of Daiichi Kosho this time, the front desk lady received several people very enthusiastically, led them to the meeting room, and brewed hot tea.

Before long, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came in with a young assistant:

"Nice to meet you, I am the sales manager of Daiichi Kosho, Jiafu Shiqiao." Jiafu Shiqiao introduced himself first, "Beside me is my assistant Lianghe Gaoshan."

"I am Naoki Nagayama who called before, and these two are Feng Nagayama and Shizhi Araki." Naoki Nagayama followed the Western greeting method and shook hands with the person opposite.

When everyone sat down again, Jiafu Shiqiao sighed a bit: "When I was notified of the appointment before, I thought it was a coincidence, the same name and surname. I didn't expect it to be really Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"

"Haha, have you heard of me too, Shiqiao-san?" Naoki Nagayama was already a bit accustomed to it. There will definitely be many people he knows in the future.

"Yeah, I accompanied my wife to see 'Love Letter'!" Jiafu Shiqiao said subconsciously, and then hurriedly coughed, "Cough cough, excuse me~ I said something strange."

"Hahaha~"

Then he turned to Feng Nagayama who was pretending on the other side: "Then this one is also really Serizawa Tamao-san!"

"......" Feng Nagayama's mouth twitched. Sure enough, if the character is more popular than the person, this kind of situation will happen, "My name is Feng Nagayama!"

"Ah, Sumimasen, because my son posted your poster in the room, so I had a deep impression."

Jiafu Shiqiao said the reason again, making Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Feng, your poster was posted in the room! Haha~"

"......" Feng Nagayama was speechless.

Although it is always strange to talk about family affairs, after a few words, the unfamiliar atmosphere in the meeting room has disappeared and turned into a relaxed atmosphere.

Jiafu Shiqiao then started the main topic.

"Nagayama-san.... ah, there are two....." He looked at the two Nagayama family members opposite, so he said again, "Then please excuse me...... Naoki-san, you called before and said it was a business of dozens of Karaoke machines, right?"

"Yeah, my friend and I plan to open a different kind of nightclub and need Karaoke machines. About..... 30 machines."

Naoki Nagayama said directly. He was not afraid of others copying the model. After his Karaoke opened, it would still be imitated by other opponents.

"30 machines?" Jiafu Shiqiao nodded. This is not a small business, "Do you have any requirements for the model of the Karaoke machine?"

"This is exactly the purpose of my coming today....."

For the Karaoke machine of this era, Naoki Nagayama didn't know to what extent it had developed.

"Is that so, then, let Lianghe-kun introduce our products to Naoki-san first...."

"Hi!" Lianghe Gaoshan took out the product manual and started to introduce, "Our latest product is this model...."

Clumsy, huge, complex operation...... This was the first thought Naoki Nagayama gave after listening. The current Karaoke machine is too different from the one in his mind......

However, fortunately, the model connected to the TV has come out, otherwise it really can't be played!

"Shiqiao-san....." Naoki Nagayama said after the introduction, "We need to confirm this Karaoke machine of yours on the spot......"

"That's naturally no problem!"

This is the headquarters of the Karaoke machine, of course there is a place to experience the product. Jiafu Shiqiao immediately took the three people to a small room, where all kinds of audio equipment were available.

Lianghe Gaoshan skillfully debugged the Karaoke machine, then took out a videotape and put it in.....

The cheerful sound jumped out from the audio, but the TV screen was the scene of the singer singing live,

"'Aishu Hatoba'....." Naoki Nagayama accurately said the name of the song. Seeing the singing scene of Hibari Misora, a worry surged into his heart, "Yeah.... need copyright....."

Not only the song needs copyright, but the video of the singer singing it himself also needs copyright.

Jiafu Shiqiao nodded: "Naoki-san is really very researched on singers. Young people generally listen to Enka less~"

"No matter what, I will still listen to Hibari Misora's songs....." Naoki Nagayama said casually, "Shiqiao-san, let us try it!"

"Of course!" Jiafu Shiqiao handed over the microphone.

Then Naoki Nagayama pushed Shizhi Araki forward..... He is a nightclub manager, how can he not sing?!

There is no problem with the sound, there is no problem with the synchronization of the picture and music, and there are some small places, and the three people tested them carefully.

Half an hour later, they returned to the meeting room again.

Naoki Nagayama said directly: "Shiqiao-san, let's use this model..... We will pre-order 30 machines first."

"Hi, pre-order 30 machines first, we will come to install them and provide teaching services!" Jiafu Shiqiao smiled. The guest this time was so straightforward, and didn't even bargain for the price! In a good mood, he was also ready to send some benefits:

"As a client manager, I will also reduce the cost of peripheral small products for your side..... The microphone can be 20% off!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Shiqiao-san is really stingy, is only the microphone discounted?"

"This....." Jiafu Shiqiao only then discovered, is it blocking me here? "Naoki-san, we really have no way..... The discount on peripherals is already a big discount!"

"Hey..... Shiqiao-san, you make it very difficult for me." Naoki Nagayama said, "With such a discount, I can't let Brother Feng continue to order Karaoke machines from you."

"? Mr. Feng Nagayama?" Jiafu Shiqiao looked at the burly man beside him.

Feng Nagayama smiled: "Yeah, Naoki only has one nightclub...... I plan to open more than a dozen later......"

"!"

Jiafu Shiqiao was surprised. This is not an ordinary business! This is an important performance of their department this year!

Just when Jiafu Shiqiao wanted to get close to Feng Nagayama, Shizhi Araki, who originally had the least sense of existence, was sandwiched between the two:

"Shiqiao-san, why don't you talk to me about this business first..... Feng Nagayama's side, let's talk after we finish talking....."

Shizhi Araki had a shrewd smile on his face, exactly the same as the boss Jiafu Shiqiao saw when he promoted before. In short, one sentence...... not easy to fool!

So you are the real boss guarding the pass!

In the end, the Karaoke machine was 20% off and sold to Naoki Nagayama at a price of 400,000 yen each. As for Feng Nagayama's side later, Jiafu Shiqiao promised to give the lowest 25% off, and also had to give some peripheral products.....

On the way back, Feng Nagayama found that his cousin was a bit serious,

"Naoki, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with that Karaoke?"

"No.... it's another thing." Naoki Nagayama replied, "For current records, if you want to display them synchronously on TV..... they are generally concerts or recordings on TV...... there is no such thing as a music short film (MV) specifically for songs."

"This...... is there anything wrong with this?" Feng Nagayama didn't understand.

"Originally, you only need to buy the playback rights of the song, but now, if we want to buy the copyright of the video, it will cost a lot of money....." Naoki Nagayama said, "Very expensive, very expensive....."

Feng Nagayama scratched his head: "Then what should we do? Don't buy it?"

"Without video..... isn't the TV useless, then our KTV's characteristics will be gone." Naoki Nagayama said, "I need to think of a way...."

He thought of the Japanese and Korean KTV in the old days. They all matched a video with subtitles at will and put it up directly. Anyway, it was singing, as long as there was music and words.

"Find a video at will, add subtitles...... it shouldn't take much effort, right?" Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "If KTV uses the MVs we produce ourselves in the future, besides being able to save money, maybe it can also be used as a product."

"Decided, the first task of Shuyou Entertainment in the New Year is this!"
