Chapter 785: Why can't there be a Naoki Building?!

~14 min read 2,769 words

When he arrived at the studio, Tomo Yoshimura and Ito Shuichi Ido were already waiting in the conference room. Today was an important day for Shu-Yu, and neither of them wanted to be absent.

"Naoki-san!" Tomo Yoshimura introduced a middle-aged man in a suit, "This is Mr. Toshiya Akimoto from Sumitomo Real Estate, who is responsible for the purchase, decoration, and relocation of our new Shu-Yu headquarters."

"Akimoto-san, this is Naoki Nagayama, the president of Shu-Yu~"

Toshiya Akimoto showed an enthusiastic smile: "President Nagayama, nice to meet you... but your name is already like thunder in my ears."

"Haha, Akimoto-san, nice to meet you, please treat me well!" Naoki Nagayama bowed slightly and greeted, "Sorry to trouble you this time~"

"No, no, no, this is what we should do!"

Toshiya Akimoto couldn't see a trace of reluctance on his face. After all, just the commission alone would make him laugh, not to mention the subsequent decoration and relocation work, which could be said to have completed his performance indicators for the first half of the year!

After chatting for a while, Tomo Yoshimura said:

"Since Naoki-san has arrived, let's go and see it on the spot!"

"Hmm~" "It's time."

Naoki Nagayama and Ito Shuichi Ido both nodded in agreement~

"Hai, I'll have the driver prepare to leave..."

Toshiya Akimoto hurriedly went out to prepare. He had arranged everything properly today... In order to pick up three people at once, he specially rented a stretched Lin Ken!

Naoki Nagayama and his party, who walked out slowly, occasionally greeted the studio staff, walking with a relaxed pace, looking just like students going out for a walk...

"Speaking of which, it seems like a long time since the three of us went out together." When going out, Ito Shuichi Ido sighed, and then turned to look at the studio gate behind him, "I didn't expect that the small Shu-Yu company would have reached the level of changing its headquarters! Sure enough, the studio can no longer keep up with Shu-Yu's pace~"

"Ito Shuichi-san, wait until the new headquarters is confirmed before you sigh like that!" Tomo Yoshimura took the lead and got into the stretched Lin Ken, "We have to stay in the studio for at least another half a year!"

Naoki Nagayama patted Ito Shuichi Ido on the shoulder:

"Haha, the studio will still be part of Shu-Yu in the future... It can return to its essence and be used to shoot magazine photos again..."

"Forget about the adult ones~" Tomo Yoshimura interjected, "The decent kind of magazine!"

"Tomo-san, aren't the magazine pictures we shot before decent?! They are all legal!" Ito Shuichi Ido rolled his eyes in the carriage, "Don't forget, it was those magazines that supported us in the beginning!"

"I know~ I know~" Tomo Yoshimura perfunctorily comforted Ito Shuichi Ido, "Anyway... if there are orders, let Ito Shuichi-san pick up his hobby again!"

"..." Ito Shuichi Ido stopped talking~

Naoki Nagayama looked at the two fighting and laughed, then asked Toshiya Akimoto beside him:

"Akimoto-san, where are we going first today?"

"Naoki-san, let's go to Shinjuku to see an office building first... It's a 7-story detached building..."

While chatting, the car soon arrived in the bustling district of Shibuya.

This white stretched Lin Ken finally stopped in a block in the 4th district of Nishi Rumi Nishi-Shinjuku... If Higashi-Shinjuku is full of eating, drinking, and playing, Nishi Rumi Nishi-Shinjuku is full of corporate offices, which is very suitable for opening companies and business receptions.

After Naoki Nagayama got out of the car, he saw high-rise buildings in the distance, but that side basically belonged to the non-sale area.

Toshiya Akimoto led the group to a slightly crowded street, and the office building they were going to see today was among them.

"Naoki-san, Tomo-san, Ito Shuichi-san... it's here!" Toshiya Akimoto pointed to a white building in a row of buildings.

Naoki Nagayama looked up. The whole row was 7-story office buildings, and this white one was very recognizable... It looked like a crowded apartment building in the old city in the future~

In such a core area, the distance between this building and the neighboring buildings was only the width of a car, and the low front door was hidden at the bottom, which could only be seen when walking close...

After walking in, he found that each floor was divided into four major office rooms... The office area inside was also divided very precisely, as if to use every square meter of space to the extreme.

"This office building was built in Showa 50. Originally, the seven floors had tenants, but with the rise in rent, many companies moved away... The landlord wants to open a foreign trade company, so he plans to sell this building and gather funds..."

Toshiya Akimoto introduced it endlessly,

"Water and electricity are complete here, transportation is convenient, it's very close to the west exit of Shinjuku Station, and transportation is convenient... The overall selling price is 3.5 billion..."

Tomo Yoshimura and Ito Shuichi Ido didn't feel anything wrong. They were very accustomed to this kind of Japanese office building atmosphere and observed the corners of the office building very seriously.

They even discussed the rough division of departments and where their offices would be placed...

However, Naoki Nagayama was a bit dissatisfied when he saw that the aisle could only accommodate two people walking side by side... especially when he saw the windows of the neighboring office building, which could basically be crossed directly.

"It's a bit small... It's not convenient to bring equipment in~"

Even the studio didn't feel this crowded...

Toshiya Akimoto was paying attention to the master's expression at all times, and hurriedly explained after hearing Naoki Nagayama's words:

"Because when the requirements were mentioned before, it was said that Shu-Yu currently has a filming base in Ota Ward and a studio in Chiyoda... so this headquarters is only used for office work..."

"That is indeed the case..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded, but even if it was just for office work, there should be storage space, rest space...

He thought of the modern enterprises that were developing vigorously in the future, such as Apple, Microsoft, Alibaba, NetEase, etc... The headquarters buildings were one more spacious than the other. Not to mention public restaurants, open entertainment spaces, and even

Is it really because Japan's land area is small that everything is so petty? Even office buildings are so calculating.....

"However..... I think it would be better if it were bigger~ and further away from the neighbors~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the window facing the street, where there was a high-rise building of more than thirty floors.....

"No problem!" Toshiya Akimoto was full of confidence, "The next two places we are going to are both bigger than this one....."

"Hi, then let's go take another look...."

The land price in Azabu-Juban is higher, but since it is a five-story office building, each floor is indeed much larger than the one in Shibuya.

However, Azabu-Juban is still better for housing; these office buildings are all old and outdated.....

In the end, the group finally arrived in Ikebukuro~

"Naoki-san, this one must meet your requirements!" Toshiya Akimoto confidently led the group to the vicinity of the Bungeiza.....

"Uh..."

Looking at the familiar scenery, Naoki Nagayama quietly said to Ito Shuichi Itou: "Ito Shuichi-san, it wouldn't be the Bungeiza, would it?"

"I haven't heard that that movie theater is moving." Ito Shuichi Itou shook his head, "Maybe it's next door."

In Ikebukuro 3-chome, a stretched Lin Ken stopped in front of a very sturdy-looking building.

"Minna-san, we have arrived~" Toshiya Akimoto opened the car door and invited everyone to get out.

Naoki Nagayama walked out and took a look. It was located right at the street corner, with a very new-looking stone facade and seven stories high. The first floor was clearly distinguished from the floors above.

"This is the SOHO building completed the year before last...." Toshiya Akimoto led everyone in from the side entrance, "It was originally planned for both office and residential use, but there are too many young people in Ikebukuro, and the rent can't go up...."

"Recently, the company where the landlord is located needs to focus on international business, which is why it was put up for sale....."

"There are currently no tenants within the contract period~"

It's just commercial and residential, yet they make it sound so high-end..... Naoki Nagayama curled his lips. Real estate developers really love to innovate with names.....

Although it doesn't look very eye-catching from the outside, once you walk into the office building, the lobby on the first floor is well-divided. There is a front desk and a lobby upon entering, a place to wait...... and several larger office areas.

The upper floors also have large public areas, but there are other small rooms that have already been divided into small spaces, all of which are in simple decoration and can be changed at any time.

Naoki Nagayama took a look; surprisingly, every floor has a balcony, and the second floor even has a large terrace......

"This place is much bigger than the previous two places....."

Upon hearing this, Toshiya Akimoto smiled: "Yes, and it's very new. The related power system and sewage system are all very good!"

Unlike the other two places, there were even tangled wires on the street at the entrance......

"Ito Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, what do you think?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Hmm, the appearance is very steady and atmospheric~" Tomoaki Otomo is older and likes this point very much, "It gives people a feeling of reliability at first glance."

Japanese companies have a tradition of visiting each other, and talent agencies have even more social interactions, so such an appearance is a big plus.

"What about Ito Shuichi-san?"

"I think the space is very large..... about one floor can accommodate all of us~" Ito Shuichi Itou nodded, "Is it a bit wasteful?"

"Haha, Ito Shuichi-san..... we are going to develop!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. Since the reorganization, Shu-Yu has not stopped recruiting, and the number of employees is constantly rising, "There are almost two hundred people now, and there will be more in the future! And the people from Shu-Yu Investment will also be here later....."

"That's true~" Ito Shuichi Itou smiled.

"With such a large space, the few of us can have one office each!" Naoki Nagayama said after reaching the top floor.

"This....."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed~ The address of the new headquarters was almost decided!

"It's been a long time since the three of us came out together~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the time, it was noon, and said to the two, "Let's go have a meal!"

"Haha, okay~"

"No drinking!" Tomoaki Otomo reminded, "There is other work in the afternoon!"

"....... What a killjoy!"

Outside the TBS Hall, Akina Nakamori finished recording a program and hurried towards the underground garage.

"Akina-chan, why are you in such a hurry?" She happened to run into Kyoko Koizumi.

"Ah, because I have to go to Yokohama in the afternoon......." Akina Nakamori hurriedly explained, "So I have to hurry!"

"Eh~~~ I wanted to have lunch together!" Kyoko Koizumi felt it was a pity, "Then shall we go shopping together on the next day off?"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Akina Nakamori agreed happily.

After parting with her friend, she still walked towards the car in a hurry. The little assistant Ueda Maki, who was following her, felt a bit strange:

"Akina-chan, the afternoon schedule is not urgent. The filming work is at three o'clock, so you can still eat at noon."

Akina Nakamori said while pulling the car door, "It's better to arrive early..... rest when you get to Yokohama!"

"......"

Ueda Maki had no objections and turned to the other side to pull the car door, but heard Akina Nakamori's voice:

"Sumimasen, Maki-chan, can you sit in the front?"

"???"

"I want to rest for a while....."

Ueda Maki frowned, feeling that Akina was very strange today..... Not only did she look very excited when she picked her up in the morning, but she was also absent-minded when she arrived at the program recording.....

Is there something on her mind?

The little assistant looked at Akina in the rearview mirror. She looked carefree and didn't seem to have anything on her mind!

Eh?

What did Akina-chan take out of her bag? A stack of manuscript paper?

Is it a contract? Lyrics? Fan letters? Or something else?

Why did she start reading it seriously?

Wait, her breathing seems a bit rapid, why is her face blushing too?!

"Could it be a love letter?!"

The little assistant had a lot of messy thoughts in her head, but fortunately, at this time, Norinori Akina put the luggage away and sat in the driver's seat.

"Akina-chan, where do you want to eat lunch?"

"Just find any place....." Akina Nakamori's eyes never left the manuscript paper, "Not hungry for now......."

"Alright......" Norinori Akina started the car, "Since that's the case, let's just go to Yokohama to eat seafood hot pot......."

"Anything is fine~"

"......."

Akina, who is always a foodie, was actually casual about food! Norinori Akina couldn't help but take a look in the rearview mirror.

And at this time, Akina Nakamori was completely immersed in the plot of "Lost Paradise"!

She didn't want to bring it out, but after reading a few chapters in the morning, she was very reluctant to part with it when she left....... so she secretly brought it out!

The stack in her hand was all the manuscript paper. Who told Naoki-san to only write the first ten chapters!

"Yi~~" "Too much......." "Is the kimono so beautiful?"

The car was driving steadily on the highway, but Akina Nakamori was immersed in the plot of the novel, just like a little girl addicted to reading novels!

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama parted ways with the others and returned to Sanyingyuan alone.

He was still muttering when he entered the door:

"Signing, payment, and transfer of ownership, it is estimated to be at the end of February, just in time for a sum of funds to arrive..... Then we can let people design it in advance. Honma-san shouldn't be too busy now, just leave the KTV design to Kokai-chan....."

"Then it can start in March...... three months of renovation......."

Because it is not building a house from scratch, even for such a large office building, the interior decoration should be very fast.

"But it's still not enough......." Thinking about the appearance of the new headquarters, Naoki Nagayama was a little dissatisfied, "When can I buy a high-rise building in Ginza?!"

"Or just buy the land and build a skyscraper myself?"

Ali has its own industrial park, Tencent has its own building, NetEase has its own building...... Even Trump can have a building named after himself in Manhattan!

"Call it Nagayama Building, or Naoki Building?"

Naoki Nagayama thought too far..... But if he makes good use of this year's Plaza Accord and the future information revolution, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Just at this time, Eitaro ran over wagging his tail~

"Ah, Eitaro, you are the only one again!" Naoki Nagayama smiled while stroking the dog's big head, "Doesn't Miaotaro play with you either?"

"Wang wang wang!"

"Although I don't know what you are saying, it should mean you are very lonely~"

"Wang wang!"

"Alright, alright, I'll stay at home with you this afternoon~"

After Naoki Nagayama walked in, he rested for a while, played with the dog, and then went to the study on the second floor.

"Anyway, speed up a bit and finish the book..... otherwise, I always have strange plots in my dreams at night....."

"Where did I write to......."

Naoki Nagayama pulled open the drawer, wanting to find his manuscript,

"Eh? Where is my manuscript?"

"Where is my thick stack of manuscripts?!"

After searching around, Naoki Nagayama had to admit that his manuscript..... was lost!

"Eitaro, did you steal it?!"

He interrogated the dog next to him, but the dog thought he was playing with him again and wagged his short, thick tail happily..... hitting the floor with a thud.

"Wang wang wang!"

After a while, Naoki Nagayama sighed helplessly..... Only one person in Sanyingyuan could take his manuscript~

"Akina, didn't you say that people who write this kind of novel are hentai? Then why did you secretly take it to read....."

"Is the person who reads it a hentai, or is the person who writes it a hentai?!"

"I'll ask clearly tonight!"
