Chapter 600: The silence at this moment is deafening~

~15 min read 2,915 words

"Courtyard?" Naoki Nagayama asked strangely.

"Yes! It's to go and see the final effect in advance to see if it's satisfactory, and before the final result, fine-tuning can still be carried out." Ishida Kokai on the receiver was a bit nervous, "By the way, you can also see the vacation house next to Lake Toya."

"Ah.... right, there is also a vacation house~"

If Ishida Kokai didn't remind him, Naoki Nagayama would have forgotten. He now understood a bit why those Russian rich people didn't know where their yachts were~

This is the trouble of the rich!

Ishida Kokai on the receiver was very angry. Her hard-earned design results were not important at all in the heart of the party A!

She said softly unconsciously: "What a hateful rich person....."

"What?"

"Ah, nothing!" Ishida Kokai answered immediately, "Then does Naoki-san have time recently?"

"Recently... I guess I have time~" Naoki Nagayama recalled, after participating in the cherry blossom festival activity of Waseda tomorrow, it should be fine to go to Kyoto.

"By the way, Kokai-san~" Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered one thing, "Didn't you tell your agency before that you wanted to entrust a relatively long-term project?"

"Did Naoki-san mean that chain KTV project?" Ishida Kokai naturally heard about it. Honma-sensei also said that this year's year-end bonus depended on this project!

"Yes, the second KTV should be selected soon, so this project can start."

Naoki Nagayama wrote a stroke in the small notebook he carried with him while speaking, and wanted to find Big Brother Feng to determine the location of the second KTV.

There was no such schedule book before, but driven by the people around him (specifically referring to little friend Akina Nakamori), without the schedule function of a mobile phone, he also recorded important matters.

This small notebook can also be used for emergency when inspiration explodes~

"Yes, our Honma Design Office is ready to fully invest in the project at any time!" Ishida Kokai promised by patting her chest, "No matter when Naoki-san starts, we will immediately produce design plans!"

"That's good, we will... the day after tomorrow, Monday morning, go to Kyoto to see the courtyard, and by the way, determine the matter of the KTV design plan...." Naoki Nagayama thoughtfully avoided the weekend, still have to let workers have time to rest!

"Yes! Then we will wait for your arrival at the office!"

Naoki Nagayama, who hung up the phone, thought silently.

Once Big Brother Feng's chain KTV starts, it must be rapid expansion and seizing the market, in which various problems will definitely appear. It seems that he still has to communicate well with Big Brother Feng tomorrow!

Ah, right, tomorrow night I have to go to see Tsuruko's performance~

Also, how is the program Akina is going to record in another place?

Various ideas collided in his mind, making Naoki Nagayama's expression a bit heavy.

Just at this moment, his leg felt warm, Eitaro's dog head was lying on his thigh, his mouth was grinning, and his innocent eyes were looking up, as if comforting his master.

Seeing such a scene, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile:

"Eitaro, why did you learn from Golden Retriever~ want to be a big warm man?"

"Woof woof~"

"Although I don't know what you are saying, since you want to be a big warm man, are you thinking of your little girlfriend at this time?"

Naoki Nagayama stroked Eitaro's head hard, making the white dog's thick tail like a small stick swing non-stop.

"Woof woof woof (You are the one thinking!)"

And just when a man and a dog were messing around, Miaotaro, who should have been very cold, heard a cat meow from outside Shanyingyuan and started rolling on the eaves outside the door, occasionally making strange howling sounds.....

"......."

Naoki Nagayama and Eitaro both looked over.

"This is..... in heat?"

"Woof!"

"But Miaotaro is a male cat!"

"Woof?"

"The howling is too ugly, Eitaro, do you say we should cut off his eggs?"

"Woof?! ∑(O_O!)"

April is the lie of cherry blossoms. Clearly agreed to leave the most beautiful memories for spring, but started sad falling at the most brilliant time.

Petals of cherry blossoms drifted from the treetops, dancing in the sunshine, swirling in the wind, and finally took a curtain call on the ground.

The street full of cherry blossoms was covered with a layer of cherry blossom petals, as if from bud to bloom, it was for this last moment of falling from the branch... and therefore beautiful beyond words.

Naoki Nagayama drove the convertible towards the KTV in Harajuku, letting the pink-white petals fall into the car~

Confirmed before coming here, in the morning, Big Brother Feng would go to the KTV in Harajuku to inspect and confirm the preparation situation for today's business.

"Naoki-san!" The waiter of the KTV, Tetsuhiro Kurita, recognized the shop owner very sharply.

"Kurita-kun~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Is Big Brother Feng here?"

"Yes, Big Brother Feng arrived early in the morning and is patrolling the situation of each private room." Tetsuhiro Kurita immediately reported Feng Nagayama's whereabouts.

"That's good, I'll wait for him in the office~"

"Yes, as soon as Big Brother Feng comes over, I will tell him!"

"Hard work~"

Naoki Nagayama came to the relatively simple central area. The outside also had the function of a monitoring room, and the innermost was the office of the shopkeeper or manager. During this time, either Araki Shige or Feng Nagayama worked here.

Looking at the employee shift schedule on the table, there were actually more than 30 people in the small KTV, which could be said to be too sufficient, but more than ten of them were association personnel. After the next KTV opened, they would go to look after that shop.

Not long~

"Naoki!" Feng Nagayama walked in with a smile, "Arriving at the KTV so early, are you looking for me?"

"Hmm, has Big Brother Feng's morning routine check been completed?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Yes, actually there is no need to check one by one, just spot check~" Feng Nagayama sat down and explained slightly, "Now it is mainly teaching Hamasaki Naogo and that group of guys how to check... one by one like idiots, taught many times but can't remember! How to operate the next shop in the future!"

"Haha, teach slowly~ If it really doesn't work, you can recruit people to do it." Naoki Nagayama comforted, "Anyway, the old members of the association actually just need to do the highest management."

"That's what I said, but if you don't know anything, you will be emptied by your subordinates!" Feng Nagayama said with experience, "Just like when I collected protection fees in Shimizu before, I took a lot from it myself, but Father didn't know all along......"

Halfway through, Feng Nagayama reacted and subconsciously shrank his head and looked at the door:

"Yabai, actually said it out!"

Then he looked at Naoki Nagayama kindly: "Naoki, you won't tell my father, right~"

"......."

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Big Brother Feng, although he was old, his personality was still like a child!

But he still remembered this matter. When Big Brother Feng didn't listen one day, let Uncle educate him well!

"Hahaha, that's good, good brother!" Feng Nagayama laughed and patted his cousin's shoulder. If he hadn't practiced, Naoki Nagayama estimated his shoulder would be numb~

"By the way, what did Naoki come to me for?"

Finally talking about the main business, Naoki Nagayama said the matter of KTV design:

"Big Brother Feng, how is the location selection for the KTV later? If it is decided, we will go to the Honma Design Office the day after tomorrow to choose the decoration style, and then we can start producing design drawings."

Feng Nagayama scratched his chin: "I did look at quite a few places these few days, and a few are quite tempting...... However, there is only 500 million in funds now, I am worried that the money might not be enough...... so I was thinking can we rent first?"

"If you rent, there might be many problems..... In the initial development, it might also be used by competitors." Naoki Nagayama said, "At least the first few must belong to ourselves. If the money is not enough, I can help advance some here....."

"Naoki's money didn't come from a strong wind....." Feng Nagayama laughed, "I will communicate with Father, it doesn't matter."

"In short, let the other few open first...... It's fine to go to the bank for a loan later. The KTV model is easy to copy. If you enter other cities in the future, it's fine to use rent."

"Hmm!"

Naoki Nagayama also communicated with his cousin about the difficulties that might be encountered when the first few KTVs were operating, as well as the troubles that would be encountered when the chain company expanded, and gave a preventive injection.

"You can even find local people to participate together, anyway, you have to make the brand famous and quickly occupy the market...... By the way, Big Brother Feng, what name do you plan to call the chain KTV?" Naoki Nagayama thought of this at this time.

"Ah!" Feng Nagayama was very excited, "I plan to call it Ren Xia KTV! This represents the righteousness and belief of our Nagayama group!"

"......."

The silence at this moment is deafening..... After a long time~

"Big Brother Feng~"

"? Nani?"

"Call it 'Melody'! A place full of beauty and joy...... also means melody" Naoki Nagayama said, "If you call it Ren Xia, others will think it is the association headquarters..... it will scare away guests!"

"......." Feng Nagayama was a bit unhappy.

Seeing his cousin like this, Naoki Nagayama didn't persuade much: "In short, before confirming the name, talk to Grandfather first~"

"Oh....."

The two agreed to go to the Honma Design Office next Monday morning to communicate about the design plan. Naoki Nagayama remembered when he was about to leave:

"If it's tonight, Tsuruko has a folk song performance, does Big Brother Feng want to go and see it?"

"Folk song?"

"Yes, at Waseda University."

"Oh? Really?" Feng Nagayama became interested, "Then I can't miss it!"

"Haha, then let's go together in the evening!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed, Tsuruko, said I would give you a surprise, this counts as one of them!

Didn't disturb Big Brother Feng's work in Harajuku, Naoki Nagayama came to the studio again before noon came.

"Naoki-san!" "Good morning, Naoki-san!"

Perhaps knowing about moving the headquarters, the employees' smiles were even brighter.

Naoki Nagayama walked to the office, but found Masayuki Otomo was not there, only Xiu Yin Tang was busy with something.

"Xiu-san~"

"Ah, Naoki-san is here!" Xiu Yin Tang looked up and greeted.

"What is Xiu-san doing?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the materials Xiu Yin Tang was looking at.

"It's the cooperation agreement with the school." Xiu Yin Tang said, "Because I want to borrow the classroom and playground, I have to sign a contract with the school...... Also, it can only be finished in two days on the weekend....."

"So urgent?" Naoki Nagayama asked strangely, he remembered that there were quite a few shots of "After the Rain" in the school, "Can the shots in the school be finished?"

"So I am arranging the schedule..... However, I estimate there should be no problem." Xiu Yin Tang said, "Of course, there are also problems with extras. I plan to communicate with the student council of this school and invite some real students to act as background boards."

"Eh? This might be a bit troublesome~"

"Haha, just a few shots."

Seeing Xiu Yin Tang's confident look, Naoki Nagayama was relieved. After all, Xiu-san was also an experienced director!

"Looks like 'After the Rain' is almost ready, right?"

"Yes, I decided to start filming in early May! Muwo Zhuxie has also been coordinated!" Xiu Yin Tang said, "Naoki-san, you must come to the opening ceremony then!"

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes, I want to catch your luck!" Xiu Yin Tang said with reason, "Naoki-san, your situation must be blessed by Benzaiten who masters art and music!"

"......"

In a country with eight million gods, it is very difficult to make others not superstitious..... That witch has another big red envelope!

"Okay, I will go~" Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"What did Otomo-san do?"

"Seems to be going to TV Asahi." Xiu Yin Tang said.

"TV Asahi?"

Naoki Nagayama recalled that the contact between Tree Friend and TV Asahi was very little.

Currently, Tree Friend has the best relationship with Fuji TV, besides Naoki Nagayama's personal relationship, there is also a five-year framework agreement and two variety shows currently cooperating.

There is also a certain connection with TV Tokyo, TBS has less contact...... and with other TV stations, basically there is no relationship.

"Do we have any connection with TV Asahi?"

"If there is no connection, we must establish a connection!" Xiu Yin Tang said, "After all, it is one of the five major TV stations. In the past, it was just ordinary appearances on programs and running notices."

However, this time Otomo-san, through the introduction of an old friend, seems to have established a relationship with the minister in charge of program production at TV Asahi.

So this time is to talk about long-term cooperation~

The idol agency under Tree Friend currently has quite a few idols.

Although compared to old-brand agencies like Watanabe and Yoshimoto Kogyo, the gap is still very large, but all idols are artists with a certain reputation, and several are first-class idols, already having a good reputation in the industry.

With such a volume, it is already possible to talk about long-term cooperation with TV stations.

"Sure enough, it's Otomo-san, the connections in his pocket are really quite a few!"

Since before, Naoki Nagayama knew that Masayuki Otomo's relationship network was very strong, after all, he even had a friendship with Haruki Kadokawa!

"Haha, when Otomo-san was young, he was very active and very good at making friends..... It's a pity that after marriage, he was managed too strictly~" Xiu Yin Tang sighed, "Then various trivial matters of life...... finally, his hair fell out slowly~"

"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama smelled the taste of gossip, "Xiu-san, please elaborate~"

Speaking of which, it's not complicated. When Masayuki Otomo was young, he worked hard in Tokyo and had a lot of drive, knew many people, but met his beloved in his hometown, so he left Tokyo and returned to his hometown to get married......

Later, forced by livelihood, he was forced to live apart from his wife and came to Tokyo to work again......

But more than ten years passed, everything changed, he was old and had no qualifications, and it was very difficult to find a decent job in a society with a lifetime employment system..... He could only join an agency and become a talent scout......

Before meeting Naoki Nagayama, the pressure of life had already left Masayuki Otomo with not much hair left~

"So, what did marriage bring to men!"

Naoki Nagayama sighed~

"Naoki-san, you are not married...... don't pretend to be very experienced!"

Xiu Yin Tang rolled his eyes: "I haven't said anything

"So, what has marriage brought to you, Shuichi-san?"

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Itang thought carefully, and only then did he reveal a smile: "At the very least, it gave me Jia Yi-chan!"

What a daughter-slave!

In the factory district of Tokyo's Kita Ward, the headquarters of General Air Conditioning is located right here.

Assistant to the Chairman, Yasuyuki Nakano, is currently reviewing a report sent over by the Investment Department. This is a critical period of negotiation with Fujitsu, and he must ensure that all information within his company is up to date.

"Is there suspected hot money acquiring General's stock?" Nakano Yasuyuki looked at the conclusion in the report. "However, the amount is not large; is it a normal market behavior?"

Before the formal cooperation with Fujitsu, this kind of situation also requires attention. He immediately asked the personnel in the Investment Department about the specific situation.

"The turnover rate is very high; is there suspected market manipulation building positions in a sideways market?" Nakano Yasuyuki continued to ask. "Are you sure?"

"Nakano-san, such position-building actions are very secretive. We can only say it is possible... it could also be normal fluctuation~" said Yasuyuki Tamura, the head of the Investment Department. "However, even if it is hot money building positions, it is just a routine operation. There will be wash-trading operations later..."

"Generally speaking, the volume of hot money will not be very large, and it will not cause too much impact on our stock price for the time being."

If Fujitsu ultimately injects capital, then the stock price will certainly have a large increase. However, the current negotiations with Fujitsu are being held in secret. In fact, even Nakano Yasuyuki does not know when the deal will be reached, so he naturally would not think that someone has obtained the news and wants to profit in the stock market.

However, even so, the stability of the stock price is still very important, especially during the negotiation process...

After thinking for a moment, Nakano Yasuyuki still instructed the head of the Investment Department: "Director Tamura, please be prepared. Do not let the fluctuations in the stock price strike a blow to the investors' confidence."

"Hai, our Investment Department will be prepared and will not let the stock price undergo large fluctuations."
