Chapter 877: Hold a fireworks festival yourself?!

The night grew deeper, and gradually the guests in the izakaya began to decrease...

After nine o'clock, only Naoki Nagayama and a group of work crew members were left, as well as a few regular customers who ordered a beer but couldn't finish it, their eyes glancing over from time to time...

In this day and age, there was no good entertainment at night besides watching TV. They had just heard two days ago that a program was going to be filmed, so they had to stay and watch the fun, right?

Big brother Aoki asked around symbolically, and then went to Naoki Nagayama's side:

"Naoki, these guests are all curious about how to film... is it okay for them to stay?"

"Haha, no problem... however, we won't start filming immediately today... even the guest actors haven't been invited yet... today is mainly for the crew to check the location and check the effect of the camera positions..." Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"I see..."

Aoki Nagayama nodded and didn't mention letting people leave. Anyway, checking the location... if they want to watch, let them watch.

Just as they were talking, the people who were sent to the inn to get the equipment came back. Naoki Nagayama and the people who stayed behind went out and started to bring the things in.

Cameras, cranes, lighting, reflectors, microphones... a series of equipment that looked very professional were taken out of the boxes, and then the crew members started to get busy.

After setting it up, they even let big brother try to turn on the fire at the stove to see if it would affect the filming screen.

Naoki Nagayama took the script and walked to his big brother and father:

"Filming will start tomorrow. Have big brother and father familiarized yourselves with the script sent back before?"

"Of course, I read it every night when I go back!" Aoki Nagayama said confidently, and his father, Ken Nagayama, also nodded steadily.

"That's good... then what about the newly made dishes?"

"No problem, we can make most of them! There are a few new ones, and they are not difficult!"

"That's about it, no problem~"

Saying that, Naoki Nagayama continued to check the camera setup of the crew. After experimenting with everything, Naoki Nagayama let everyone put away the equipment and wait until tomorrow to start formal filming.

After such a toss, it was almost ten o'clock. After the crew left, the Nagayama family's izakaya also closed, and Naoki Nagayama walked on the way home with his father and big brother.

Because they often had to buy ingredients and move things, the family had long been equipped with a mini truck... it was the kind of three-wheeled truck. Father Ken Nagayama drove the car, and big brother Aoki and Naoki Nagayama sat in the cargo bucket.

"Come to think of it, when you didn't go to Tokyo, Naoki, we often sat in the truck together!" Big brother Aoki looked at the starry sky and suddenly felt a bit emotional. "At that time, I wasn't married, and there was no Wild Grass... Tsuruko hadn't gone to university yet!"

"Time is sometimes so fast~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. In the blink of an eye, he had been in Showa for more than five years~

With the night wind, the brothers chatted casually,

"Come to think of it, we still have an apartment in Tokyo, how is it now?"

"Isn't it rented out now? The housing price has almost doubled!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Wait until next year, that apartment can be mortgaged, and then use the money borrowed to buy another one."

"Still want to buy?" Big brother Aoki was surprised. "Will the housing price still rise?"

"Yes, it will rise a lot!" Naoki Nagayama said. "Especially at the end of this year..."

He looked at his big brother and didn't hide anything: "This year, there will probably be a policy between Nihon and the United States, and then the Yen will skyrocket... If big brother and father know how to speculate in foreign exchange, they can probably make a big profit..."

"Foreign exchange?!" Big brother Aoki was a scumbag who didn't even graduate from high school, so he naturally didn't know much about it.

And his own father was an honest man who only knew how to earn money honestly all his life. When he heard this, he didn't say a word.

"It's the exchange rate between the Yen and the Dollar... It was originally dynamic, but according to the policy trend, the Dollar should depreciate and the Yen should appreciate..."

Naoki Nagayama explained for a while, and seeing that his big brother was full of confusion, he stopped talking.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand these." Naoki Nagayama patted his big brother on the shoulder. "Then just follow what I just said, mortgage the apartment in Tokyo, and then add this appearance fee, and buy another one... wait until it rises to a certain extent, then mortgage, then buy..."

If they cycle like this, within the next five years, big brother's family should own more than five properties in Tokyo... Wait until they are all sold before 1990, then at least they will have a net worth of over 100 million!

Crossing the class from an izakaya owner to a rich man with a net worth of over 100 million in five years is already a big leap, at least exceeding most people in Nihon.

This is still something that can be earned steadily, without any other risks, and without professional knowledge.

If it's too profitable, big brother won't be able to grasp it!!!

After returning to the old house, Naoki Nagayama was surprised to find that sister-in-law Jia Hua was in the living room with her nephew Wild Grass.

And mother Nanako was unpacking the gifts and discussing them with the mother and son~

"Jia Hua? Why are you here?" Big brother Aoki was even more surprised. After entering the door, he first picked up Wild Grass who ran over, and then asked.

"Heard from Mother that Naoki is back and brought gifts, so I brought Wild Grass over after dinner. Thinking that you would definitely come here first tonight, so we'll go back together."

Jia Hua Nagayama unpacked the gifts and thanked Naoki Nagayama with a smile:

"Thank you Naoki for the gifts, I like them very much... Wild Grass likes them too! Wild Grass-chan, hurry up and thank your Uncle Naoki..."

"Arigato, Uncle Naoki..." Little Wild Grass could speak very fluently now, holding the electric car brought from the United States, reluctant to let go.

"Haha, Wild Grass is so good!"

Naoki Nagayama patted Wild Grass's head, fluffy... the feel was the same as Eitaro, very good. He subconsciously wanted to reach his hand to Wild Grass's neck and scratch his chin...

But at this time, Eitaro happened to run to the side and barked...

"Ahem!" Before his sister-in-law noticed, Naoki Nagayama shifted his target without a trace and stroked the dog, "By the way, Mother, is Miaotaro back?"

"Mm, he's in the cat nest... he's going to sleep after dinner..." Mother Nanako pointed to the cat nest in the corner.

Naoki Nagayama walked over to look, Miaotaro didn't get fat, but seemed to be a bit stronger...

"Miaotaro, did you miss me?"

The hand Naoki Nagayama stretched out was pushed back by Miaotaro with his hind legs, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be full of disgust, with a fierce feeling... He changed from the original big orange to a fierce tiger!

Regardless of Naoki Nagayama and the fur child getting close, the big brother and sister-in-law in the living room talked to their father and mother, sharing gifts. After Naoki Nagayama went in again, this old house finally became lively again...

"If Tsuruko was here, it would be complete~" Mother Nanako sighed. "She should be fine in Tokyo now..."

"Better than fine~" Naoki Nagayama said. "Before I came over, Tsuruko told me she was going to Kyoto with her boyfriend to watch fireworks! And wanted to borrow my vacation house in Kyoto to stay..."

"Oh? Did they go traveling?!" Big brother Aoki was very envious after hearing it. "Is university life so beautiful?"

"Who told you not to study well back then!" Mother Nanako patted her eldest son.

"Didn't Naoki also not study well?!" Aoki Nagayama was very aggrieved.

"He was obsessed with idols at that time and didn't want to study..." Mother Nanako didn't spoil her eldest son. "You are stupid!!"

"..."

Big brother Aoki looked at Naoki Nagayama... his eyes were pitiful.

And Naoki Nagayama could only pretend not to hear, and instead played with the electric car with Wild Grass...

In the following time, Naoki Nagayama drank tea while stroking Eitaro lying on the side; Mother was chattering, Father was fiddling with the tea set and listening silently; and Big brother occasionally talked to sister-in-law Jia Hua, and then came to tease Wild Grass who was playing happily...

The intimate and ordinary interaction between them made Naoki Nagayama think... In the future, when he and Akina get married, maybe they will be this intimate too~

Until about eleven o'clock, Wild Grass was sleepy, and Big brother and sister-in-law said goodbye and returned to their new house, and the old house finally became quiet.

After taking a shower, Naoki Nagayama lay on the tatami mat and closed his eyes, experiencing this bedroom he had slept in since he was a child.

The electric fan shook its head, blowing out cool wind, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of the waves of the sea in his ears... In such a reassuring atmosphere, sleepiness gradually struck...

The morning in the small town starts with the crowing of a rooster.

Naoki Nagayama hadn't heard the sound of a rooster in Tokyo for a long time, but here some families still kept chickens.

Eitaro was scratching the door outside the room, unable to wait to come in to find his master...

Last night, he had to close the door and let him stay outside, because the tatami mat was spread directly on the ground. If he didn't close the door, this dog would definitely sleep next to Naoki Nagayama.

Only those who have tried it know what it feels like to have a dog with a body temperature higher than a human sleeping next to you in the summer...

"Alright, alright, Eitaro, I'm up!"

Naoki Nagayama pulled open the sliding door, patted the dog's head, and then went to wash up.

Breakfast was rice balls with pickled plums, plus cold shredded kelp and pickled cucumbers, but still added an egg... A normal breakfast to whet the appetite.

"Naoki, you won't come to the izakaya during the day, right?" Father asked while eating breakfast.

"Mm, the program crew will come at night..." Naoki Nagayama picked up a piece of side dish and said slowly, "And... in the morning, I have some things to prepare myself."

"Will you come back for lunch?" Mother Nanako asked.

"For me, I should come back..." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, seeming to feel that it wouldn't be delayed.

"Since you are back, during this time..." Father finished breakfast and said to Naoki Nagayama, "When you are free, go see your grandfather..."

"Ah, I should indeed go..."

The relationship between Naoki Nagayama and his grandfather's side was not very close. When he was in Tokyo, he only called on festivals.

But since he was going to stay in Shizuoka for a while this time, he still had to visit.

I heard that his grandfather was very happy when he learned that he had won the Palme d'Or.

"I'll go in the afternoon~" Naoki Nagayama finally said.

"Mm~"

Father Ken Nagayama didn't say much, and drove his small truck to the izakaya. In the morning, he had to pull ingredients and process them... When it was noon, he had to start doing business. Opening an izakaya is actually very hard!

And Naoki Nagayama, after breakfast, drove his convertible to the seaside... and found a boat docked at the pier.

"Naoki-san!"

Shigeru Yamakawa, the business manager of MURAYAMA Event Support Co., Ltd., saw Naoki Nagayama's figure and hurriedly walked over to shake hands.

"Manager Yamakawa!" Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, and then looked at the boat docked, "Is this the boat prepared?"

"Mm, this is one of them... and five other boats are still being loaded in Tokyo."

Shigeru Yamakawa took Naoki Nagayama onto the boat, looking at the large and small cylindrical objects standing in the center of the boat and said:

"These are the fireworks this time!"

"Are they reliable?" Naoki Nagayama asked. "How are they compared to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival fireworks?"

"Same level!" Shigeru Yamakawa patted his chest and said, "Naoki-san, don't worry, the fireworks company is the same."

"However, this time it's on the sea, will it be a bit different?"

Shigeru Yamakawa nodded: "The wind and waves are a bit bigger, but it doesn't matter... The people who control the fireworks are all dug from experienced fireworks festivals and have controlled fireworks boats..."

"And this boat, we can see the effect today!"

"Then I'm relieved..."

Naoki Nagayama continued to ask about other things:

"By then, the water lanterns on the sea surface, there will be no problem, right? They won't be overturned by the waves or gathered together, right?!"

"Absolutely no problem!" Shigeru Yamakawa patted his chest and guaranteed, "To avoid being overturned because of the waves, we use glow sticks!"

"And like the floats used for fishing nets, they are all strung together with fishing nets... by then, not only will they not be grouped together, they will also form a suitable distance..."

"After it ends, just take them back and extinguish them!"

"Those glow sticks... can they be extinguished?"

"They are all disposable, they can shine for an hour! Even in the water, you can see the light..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction, inspected the fireworks on the boat again, and let this boat sail into the bay to experiment with the fishing net-style water lanterns. Naoki Nagayama was relieved.

"Then I'll leave it to Manager Yamakawa, I will give you the signal by then!"

"Yes, I won't miss it!"

Shigeru Yamakawa flattered Naoki Nagayama, this big client, very much.

Not only because he was a big client and would provide a lot of business, but also because Naoki Nagayama had many novel ideas...

Not to mention anything else, just using an airship to celebrate someone's birthday allowed their company to earn a large profit this year... Which other big client could do this?!

He regarded Naoki Nagayama as a God of Wealth!!!

Since it was summer, Naoki Nagayama naturally wanted to watch the fireworks festival with Akina, but just happened to run into Akina's national tour, and he had to produce *Midnight Diner*...

So he could only prepare in advance, and when Akina came over, he would hold a Shizuoka fireworks festival himself~

"Manager Yamakawa, if anyone asks, keep it secret!"

"Yes, I know!" ===== CHAPTER 878 =====
