Chapter 901: The Plaza Accord is coming!!!

The Budokan in Tokyo has always been the venue where singers and idols most hope to hold concerts, and even has exaggerated titles such as "the highest peak for musicians" and "the peak of Japan's music stage."

There are many people who want to hold a solo concert at the Tokyo Budokan, but if you don't have a certain reputation and fans, you can't support a venue of 15,000 people, and you might be ridiculed by the media by then.

However, for Nakamori Akina, this is not a problem at all.

Currently at the peak of the idol world, a hot artist in the entertainment industry, just showing her face will become a headline in the newspapers. Whether in terms of reputation or the number of fans, she can fully support her concert at the Budokan.

So the last stop of the national concert tour was chosen here~

When she was sent here by Mingxing Fangze for the final rehearsal, Nakamori Akina stood on the stage that had already been built, and the spotlight moved with her steps...

"Sure enough, the feeling of the Budokan is different!"

After Nakamori Akina walked two steps, she retreated to the backstage and sighed to the little assistant Ueda Zhenxi,

"Even if there is no one below, the pressure of standing on the stage is very great~"

In this Budokan, Hideki Saijo held the first public performance of an idol singer ten years ago, Momoe Yamaguchi held a farewell concert five years ago, and now, she has also walked onto this stage...

"Daijobu, Akina-chan will hold many more concerts at the Budokan in the future!" Ueda Zhenxi comforted her. "You won't be nervous after getting familiar with it!"

"Haha~" Nakamori Akina also laughed.

The staff around started to debug the equipment, and Nakamori Akina also hurriedly walked to the backstage; it was the last rehearsal, and she had to wear full makeup~

"By the way~" Nakamori Akina said to Mingxing Fangze when she left, "Fangze-san, help me keep a ticket for a related person..."

"Ticket for a related person?" Mingxing Fangze was a bit troubled. "But there is only one day left until the official performance... the tickets for related persons have all been sent out~"

"Didn't you keep even one?" Nakamori Akina was a bit surprised; generally speaking, tickets for related persons couldn't be used up.

"Akina-chan... you underestimated your popularity now... someone asked Yan Yin for a ticket for a related person a week ago~"

Mingxing Fangze sighed; generally speaking, tickets for related persons for idol singers' concerts were gifts of friendship, and some people who got the tickets wouldn't even come.

But now for Nakamori Akina's concert, people were asking for tickets for related persons, and those who got the tickets wouldn't even participate, but would use them as a valuable gift to give to others...

"Is that so..."

Nakamori Akina was stunned for a moment; she really didn't expect that the tickets for related persons would be used up.

Before in Fukuoka, it was Nagayama Naoki who found a scalper and bought it himself; although it was for a surprise, it also made her very troubled... As a star, she didn't even have a ticket for her own boyfriend...

And this time, she had already promised Naoki-san!

"Fangze-san~~~" Nakamori Akina looked at Mingxing Fangze with pitiful eyes. "Please... this is a ticket promised to Naoki-san..."

"......"

Mingxing Fangze was very helpless; Nakamori Akina wouldn't make unreasonable demands like a little girl after growing up, and started to know how to use a woman's advantages more and more... looking at you pitifully like this...

"Sigh... let me think of a way~"

"Arigato!" Nakamori Akina's face recovered her smile. "I knew Fangze-san was the most reliable!"

Ueda Zhenxi on the side shook her head; Akina-chan's face-acting ability was becoming more and more powerful!

At this time, Nagayama Naoki was still in the Tree Friend building.

Coming over today, besides attending the meeting, was also to participate in the editing work of *Midnight Diner*, but now it was mostly him giving guidance, and Matsuo Zongsheng, who was the assistant director, was doing the work.

"Zongsheng-kun, just edit according to this rhythm, I don't think there's any problem~"

*Midnight Diner* had good viewership ratings on TV Tokyo; even in the late-night slot, it reached about 10%, and many people called to say that if they didn't watch *Midnight Diner*, they couldn't eat their late-night snacks~

"Hi!" Matsuo Zongsheng nodded. "Naoki-san, what about the content still being filmed?"

"Ah, Xiben Banxing is staring at the remaining filming in Shizuoka~" Nagayama Naoki said. "After a few more days, he should return to Tokyo, and then let him come and edit with you."

After saying this, Nagayama Naoki patted Matsuo Zongsheng's shoulder,

"TV dramas are busier when filmed and broadcast at the same time; when all the editing is finished, let our crew have a celebration banquet together!"

"Hi!"

Matsuo Zongsheng was even happier after hearing this; he knew that if Naoki-san treated, it would definitely be a high-end restaurant.

Just at this moment, the door of the editing room was knocked, and Xu Mudao Xu walked in.

"Naoki-san."

"Xu Mudao-kun~" Nagayama Naoki saw Xu Mudao Xu's expression and knew he had come for something, so he took him and walked outside the door, "Come, let's go out and talk~"

"Hi~"

Xu Mudao Xu followed Nagayama Naoki silently to the staff lounge.

"Xu Mudao-kun, did something happen?"

"Naoki-san..." Xu Mudao Xu looked aggrieved. "You have to manage Xiu-san!"

"？？？" Nagayama Naoki was full of confusion. "What did Xiu-san do to you?"

"Xiu-san wants to grab the filming of *101st Proposal*!" Xu Mudao Xu said in a low voice. "He even wanted to take the script directly when we were at the filming base last time!"

"........"

Nagayama Naoki was a bit embarrassed; when he was chatting with Xiu-san before, he indeed had the intention of taking *101st Proposal* away.

"Xu Mudao-kun, don't worry!" Nagayama Naoki comforted him. "Xiu-san has a movie to film now, he won't come to grab yours!"

"Really?"

Xu Mudao Xu didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to pursue it, but adopted a simpler way:

"Naoki-san... the actors for *101st Proposal* have been contacted, and the *Squid Game* crew has been vacated, do you think we can start filming?"

"Oh? Is the preparation work finished? Who is the male lead?" Nagayama Naoki was a bit surprised,

"It's Toshiyuki Nishida!" Xu Mudao Xu replied.

"It's him~" Nagayama Naoki had some impression of this male actor and nodded. "Xu Mudao-kun, you are the supervisor of this TV drama; you decide when to start filming!"

"Hi! Then I'll start preparing!"

Xu Mudao Xu answered happily, and then walked hurriedly to prepare for the production disclosure meeting.

The heroine of *101st Proposal* was Hitomi Kuroki, and the male lead invited the acting school Toshiyuki Nishida; both were famous actors in the industry, and it was only natural to promote before filming the TV drama.

After dismissing Xu Mudao Xu, Nagayama Naoki didn't want to go back to the editing room, so he returned to his luxurious office.

Having talked about the actors for the roles, Nagayama Naoki took out a piece of paper and started to organize the roles for his movie:

"*Hayato's Legend: New World*... the Yakuza role of grandfather, it must be played by Feng big brother... then who should play the male police officer who plays opposite him?"

"Someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes, upright facial features, who looks like a righteous person at a glance... even if wearing plain clothes, you know he's a good person..."

There were many actors in the entertainment industry, and Nagayama Naoki silently listed some names under the role...

"Should I invite Hideki Saijo to play? Anyway, we have collaborated before..."

"Wait, Tomokazu Miura is also okay... the conditions are very suitable... and he is a professional actor... the acting skills definitely won't be a problem."

Finally, he decided on Tomokazu Miura... After all, they were still friends in private, and of course, he had to help if there was a chance!

"At the end, let grandfather show his face..." Nagayama Naoki thought silently, and then had a sudden inspiration, "Should I point to a baby in the back and say 'just call him Naoki'?"

As soon as this idea appeared, Nagayama Naoki felt very embarrassed and hurriedly shook his head,

"Better forget it, when the first part was filmed, he was giving birth to a son, and it would be decades before a grandson was possible!"

Writing and stopping, Nagayama Naoki marked all the roles for his new movie on the paper, deciding to start contacting relevant actors later...

"If there are no suitable actors, I can also organize a casting meeting!"

Two people suddenly returned to Tokyo, which didn't count for anything for this huge city, perhaps it would only cause some waves when the paparazzi photographed Akina~

However, Nagayama Naoki's return made Zhongjing Yuantai's heart settle down... Facing a capital pool as high as 500 million US dollars, he was also a bit worried about gains and losses as the critical moment approached.

It was agreed with Nagayama Naoki a few days ago... today he would come to communicate about the investment situation.

"Why hasn't Naoki-san come over yet..."

In the office in the afternoon, Zhongjing Yuantai paced non-stop, and even couldn't help but look towards the aisle at the door.

And just when he was about to lose patience, Nagayama Naoki finally appeared at the door, looking at Zhongjing Yuantai who was walking non-stop, Nagayama Naoki asked with a smile:

"Yuantai-san~ are you exercising?"

"...... Exercise my ass!" Zhongjing Yuantai pulled Nagayama Naoki over. "Naoki-san... aren't you worried at all?!"

"Worried about what?"

Nagayama Naoki was indeed very relaxed, because he knew that the Plaza Accord would definitely come, and he also knew that his investment would definitely make money.

But Zhongjing Yuantai didn't know; he had already invested all his family property, and even went to take out a loan, all of which was smashed into this capital pool!

"Naoki-san... is the trend of the yen appreciation definitely going to come?!"

"Hahaha, of course!"

In order to make Zhongjing Yuantai feel more at ease, Nagayama Naoki took the *Sankei Shimbun* on the table and flipped through it, found a report and pointed it to Zhongjing Yuantai to see:

"Yuantai-san, look... the news of the US inviting the Neon Finance Minister Takeshita Noboru to visit the US hasn't it already been published~"

"And the Finance Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Finance Minister of France, the Finance Minister of the UK, and the governors of the central banks of five countries..."

As the minister of the investment company, Zhongjing Yuantai naturally saw this information, but he was still a bit uncertain:

"But... Naoki-san, are you so sure that an agreement for the yen to rise and the dollar to depreciate will be reached?"

"Of course..."

I even know it's called the Plaza Accord! I even know that the yen will continue to appreciate in the next few years!

In fact, in this era, in the eyes of Neon economists, the depreciation of the dollar and the appreciation of the yen are good for Neon; the appreciation of the yen will make Neon's wealth appreciate rapidly, making it easier for Neon's companies to go out and expand on a large scale overseas...

So the signing of the Plaza Accord didn't actually feel like Neon was being coerced by the US, and even made Neon feel like it was actually taking advantage.

If it weren't for the later monetary policy, which allowed a large amount of funds to be invested in non-productive tools such as real estate and stocks, rather than being invested in the real economy, then perhaps it wouldn't have caused the economic bubble later...

Zhongjing Yuantai's mood stabilized a bit and poured a cup of tea for Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, the key now is that our funds are all in the hands of that investment manager in the US... I'm a bit worried~"

"That's true..." Nagayama Naoki nodded. "It is indeed a bit far......"

Thought for a while:

"How about this... Yuantai-san, why don't you go on a business trip to the US this month!"

"Eh?"

"By the middle and end of the month, the agreement should come out... we have to operate in advance... although I have already explained it to Aldrich, it will be more reassuring if our own people go over..." Nagayama Naoki explained.

Zhongjing Yuantai thought silently for a while:

"How long this time?"

"If it's September, it's estimated that I will be in the US for the whole month!" Nagayama Naoki said. "And until the end of the year, I have to go over at least once a month..."

Within 3 months after the Plaza Accord took effect, the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar rapidly appreciated from 1 dollar to 250 yen to 1 dollar to 200 yen, an appreciation of 20%... After that, although it was still appreciating, the range stabilized.

"That's no problem..." Zhongjing Yuantai nodded; as a person in an investment company, business trips were originally a common occurrence.

"But just until the end of the year?"

"No... next year, I still have to send people over regularly..." Nagayama Naoki said. "But we will take some money back when the time comes next year and invest it domestically..."

"Domestic investment? But didn't Naoki-san say that the yen-dollar exchange rate will continue to rise? Can't you keep making money?"

"But the domestic stock market and property market will make money even more crazily at that time!" Nagayama Naoki laughed. "Can't put eggs in one basket..."

"Hi..."

Although he was a bit puzzled, Zhongjing Yuantai finally nodded seriously. "I'll book a ticket in these two days and go directly to the US!"

"Then I'll trouble Yuantai-san!"

Nagayama Naoki joked with Zhongjing Yuantai,

"It's just to let Yuantai-san be separated from his family for a long time~"

"Ha~ it's only a month~"

Nagayama Naoki hadn't appeared in the Tree Friend Capital company for a long time, and chatted with several employees of the company for a while.

The funds belonging to them all went to the foreign exchange market in the US, and most of the accounts of Tree Friend Capital were funds from other retail investors.

Due to the high profit rate of Tree Friend Capital in the past two years, many customers had come to entrust their funds to Tree Friend Capital to manage.

So everyone was actually very busy~

"Minasan... remember to take the funds out of industries dominated by exports such as electrical appliances and automobiles during this period and invest them in real estate..." Nagayama Naoki instructed the operators. "In the future period, export-oriented industries may experience some twists and turns."

The yen appreciates, naturally the cost of exports is high!

So it will affect industries dominated by exports~

But for real estate, it is a big benefit!

"Remember, within the next five years, real estate is a very good investment direction!"
