Chapter 911: The Plaza Accord has been signed! No need to worry about money in the future!!
"It's finally here!!!"
In the Yamasakura-in in the morning, Naoki Nagayama, who had just taken the newspaper from the mailbox, stood by the dining table looking at the report in the *Yomiuri Shimbun*, filled with emotion!
"What's here?" Akina Mori brought over a cup of milk and looked at her boyfriend in confusion, "Is someone coming to the house?"
"Not that..."
Naoki Nagayama smiled, pulled Akina's slender waist over, and leaned in to kiss her smooth cheek heavily,
"It's the *Plaza Accord* that's here!"
In the economic section of the *Yomiuri Shimbun*, the first article was about the finance ministers of the five countries holding a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York, reaching an agreement to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to allow the dollar to depreciate in an orderly manner, and signing the *Plaza Accord*!
From today on, Japan's bubble era is truly coming!
"*Plaza Accord*?"
Although Akina Mori didn't understand international finance very well, seeing her boyfriend's excited look, she became happy too,
"Is it the agreement that Naoki-san mentioned before, that can make a lot, a lot of money?!"
"That's right! Make a lot, a lot!"
Thinking of the 200 million in funds in the US foreign exchange market, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but fantasize about his money making little money, and happily hugged Akina and spun her around several times~
"Akina, if nothing goes wrong, after the end of the year, we won't need to worry about money anymore!!"
"Eh?"
Akina Mori rested her hands on her boyfriend's chest, feeling that Naoki Nagayama was indeed a bit too excited today... Not needing to worry about money, how much money would that be?!
Looking at past history, within three months after the signing of the Plaza Accord, the dollar against the yen fell by 20%... Knowing such a trend, coupled with the leverage operations of professional fund managers in the US, a conservative estimate would be to double it... If lucky, it might even turn into 500 million.
An individual having a cash flow of 500 million USD in 1985, no matter how you look at it, wouldn't need to worry about money anymore!
Thinking of this fund far away in a foreign land, Naoki Nagayama was somewhat anxious, and ate his breakfast in a few bites:
"Akina, I need to go to the investment company... I still need to pay attention to the details of the transaction~"
"Yes~ take care~"
Akina Mori virtuously sent Naoki Nagayama out the door at the entrance, and incidentally instructed,
"In the evening, I have to participate in the live broadcast of *Music Station*... Naoki-san will have to eat by yourself~"
"Hmm~"
Naoki Nagayama kissed his girlfriend again, and opened the door in high spirits,
"I'll go pick up Akina in the evening, let's celebrate properly today!"
"Yes~"
After setting the celebration for the evening, Naoki Nagayama drove his convertible sports car towards Ginza.
Everything flashing past the car seemed to become a blurred background, only the front was in high definition, and even the morning noise became an anxious background music.
"Drive faster, you TM! It's all green lights!!!"
Naoki Nagayama complained about the car in front; there was no help for it, it was the morning rush hour~
After finally arriving at Tree Friend Capital in Ginza, Naoki Nagayama said to the very surprised Choka Kanai:
"Choka-chan, help me connect to the US office's phone, I need to talk to Gentai-san immediately!"
"Ah, yes!" Choka Kanai hurriedly agreed and started looking for the US office's contact number in the phone book.
"It's 8:30 AM in Tokyo now, so it's not even 6:00 AM in the US... Gentai-san should still be in the office." Naoki Nagayama pondered in his office, "This means it will take 12 hours before operations can be carried out there..."
Although there is a time difference between the US and Japan, as a major newspaper, it is basically possible to synchronize important news, so Naoki Nagayama saw the news of the signing of the Plaza Accord in the morning.
Not long after, Choka Kanai knocked on the office door:
"Naoki-san, Gentai-san is already on the line."
"Hmm, I know~" Naoki Nagayama nodded and said to Choka Kanai, "Choka-chan, brew me a cup of coffee... American black coffee! I need to keep my head clear!"
"Uh... yes!"
Choka Kanai hesitated and agreed, but she definitely had to go buy it now; there was no black coffee prepared in Tree Friend Capital.
Seeing the receptionist girl had left, Naoki Nagayama picked up the receiver and pressed the answer button:
"Gentai-san?"
"Naoki-san!" Gentai Nakai's voice on the receiver was somewhat distorted, "Finally waited for it!!"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work in the US, Gentai-san." Naoki Nagayama comforted him, then asked with concern, "How is it, is Aldrich ready?!"
"Yes, preparations were made in advance!" Gentai Nakai explained, "A large amount of yen was purchased before the news was announced, and we are ready to operate tomorrow after the market opens..."
"Naoki-san, Aldrich now trusts your judgment very much!"
Naoki Nagayama nodded:
"As long as he believes... Although the laws of the foreign exchange market are somewhat chaotic, I expect the yen to soar by the end of the year, and it will be in a state of appreciation for a long time in the future..."
"You tell Aldrich this clearly... Tell him he can keep a portion of the funds for the long term, but the three-month window must be grasped well!"
"Yes, I understand!" Gentai Nakai said, and then said quite excitedly, "Naoki-san, with such a large sum of money, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"...... Do you want me to find you a blonde sister to lull you to sleep!"
Naoki Nagayama complained fiercely,
"If you don't sleep for one night, you don't sleep! Why sleep so much before you die? You'll sleep forever after you die! Keep a close eye on the foreign exchange market for me today!"
"...... Naoki-san is truly hard-hearted... more and more like a capitalist!"
Gentai Nakai didn't complain about working overtime, after all, his entire net worth was also in it... Then the two communicated in detail about the operations after the US foreign exchange market opened, and only felt a little relieved after confirming there were no problems.
"Gentai-san... it should be 7:00 PM there... Let's have another conference call tomorrow morning after the market opens!" Naoki Nagayama looked at the time and continued, "At that time, it should be 9:00 PM in Tokyo..."
"Yes!" Gentai Nakai agreed without hesitation, "I will notify Aldrich..."
After hanging up the phone, Choka Kanai happened to bring the black coffee she had bought, and Naoki Nagayama took a sip after testing the temperature...
"Ugh... so bitter!" Naoki Nagayama's whole face shriveled up, "Sure enough, I haven't drunk it for too long, I'm not used to this taste!"
When working 007 in his previous life, he relied on black coffee to save his life in the middle of the night, but in this life, he was not used to this bitterness... Sure enough, no one really likes to suffer~
After finally adapting after a few seconds, Naoki Nagayama said to Choka Kanai who hadn't left yet:
"Choka-chan, go and notify all the operators, we are going to have a meeting!"
"Also, order meals for noon and evening... Today, they will all have to work overtime until very late!"
"Eh?" Choka Kanai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Do I have to too?"
"......"
Naoki Nagayama looked up in surprise at the naturally dazed girl in front of him,
"Choka-chan, when I, the boss, have to work overtime, do you actually have the nerve to get off work on time?"
"I......"
"Do you know how good the treatment I give you is? Besides Tree Friend Capital, is there any other company that will give so much?!"
"I......"
"Choka-chan, you don't want to be fired tomorrow because you entered the company with your left foot first, right?!"
"Woo~~" Choka Kanai was broken, "Naoki-san, I'll work overtime, okay~"
Hmph hmph... Watching the receptionist girl leave sadly, Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
Just a simple PUA tactic, and it can sweep through the Japanese workplace! Sure enough, standing from the perspective of a boss and a capitalist, one can't help but want to squeeze the employees...
Recalling the way that boss treated him back then, Naoki Nagayama suddenly felt a little ashamed... He had only been rich for a few years, and he had forgotten his origins as a cow or horse...
"Sigh... double Choka Kanai's bonus this month!"
Standing up and looking out from the floor-to-ceiling glass of the office, Ginza was full of high-rise buildings, shining brightly in the sun, and the pedestrians and vehicles on the road were bustling, like a flowing river...
Looking further away, the row upon row of buildings formed the most prosperous area of Tokyo, and every inch of land was cast from banknotes~
"Ginza, Ginza..." Naoki Nagayama muttered to himself, "I'm about to be able to buy New York~"
In the Tree Friend building in Ikebukuro, busy employees were coming in and out, and idols and stars would appear from time to time; this building was already a landmark in the vicinity.
On the top floor of the Tree Friend building, Shuichi Ido knocked on Dayou-san's office door somewhat impatiently:
"Dayou-san, why hasn't Naoki-san come today?"
"Isn't it normal for Naoki-san not to come!" Dayou-san replied without raising his head, "It's just that he came to the company every day these past few days, giving you an illusion!"
"......."
What he said made sense, and Shuichi Ido was speechless for a moment.
"But... why didn't he come today!" Shuichi Ido sat on the sofa, somewhat furiously incompetent.
"What's wrong? Does Xiu-san have something urgent for Naoki-san?" Dayou-san was somewhat surprised, "Did something happen?"
"It can't be called an urgent matter..." Shuichi Ido shook his head, "It's just that my movie script is perfected, and I want Naoki-san to help me look through it... If there's no problem, I'll start preparing for the movie casting!"
"Oh, I see~" Dayou-san thought for a moment; it really didn't count as a big deal.
Shuichi Ido had originally thought he could get Naoki Nagayama's feedback immediately, but who would have thought he wouldn't be here today! He had clearly been checking in at the company every day for a period of time before, like a prodigal son returning...
"Dayou-san, what do you think Naoki-san did today?"
"Singing? Dancing? Drinking?" Dayou-san's gaze returned to the document, "Or sleeping in, dating, etc., in short, it shouldn't be work..."
"However, if you want to contact Naoki-san, you can try the phone at Yamasakura-in... If that doesn't work, you can try his pager..."
Dayou-san said without raising his head:
"Exactly, I also have some new progress on the Tokyo International Film Festival that I want to chat with him about..."
Shuichi Ido shook his head:
"I'm not going to touch bad luck! I'll wait until Naoki-san comes..."
Then he looked at Dayou-san: "What does Dayou-san mean by new progress on the film festival?"
"Ah... it's starting in a week... we can go and test the equipment at the venue..." Dayou-san said, "Also, the trophies and such have already been delivered to the company, so you can go and see the real things."
After saying these two sentences, Dayou-san closed the document in his hand; he had already mastered the ability to do two things at once, and had finished reviewing this document while talking:
"But there is one more important thing... As the initiator of the Tokyo International Film Festival, Naoki-san must make a choice... Does he want to give the opening speech, or does he want to give the closing speech..."
"This... it hasn't been decided yet?!"
Shuichi Ido felt somewhat unbelievable; shouldn't this kind of thing have been decided long ago? The process has already been publicized, right?!
"It doesn't matter, it just says there is this segment, it doesn't say who will give the speech." Dayou-san waved his hand.
"Before, Naoki-san really didn't want to speak... But the committee strongly requested..."
"Also, at that time, there were people from the Ministry of Education, Yasuko Ikenobo, Haruki Kadokawa from Kadokawa, and even people from Toho and Toei who intended to speak... All parties were dissatisfied, and after weighing it, Naoki-san's speech was the least controversial."
Shuichi Ido was helpless: "So the final speaking opportunity fell to the person who least wanted to speak, right?!"
How does it feel like a youth campus anime... Outrageous!
"..... Sigh, sometimes it's just that bizarre~" Dayou-san spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
"Alright... it looks like I'll just have to wait for Naoki-san to come over~"
"Hmm~"
No one heard the conversation inside the Tree Friend building, but the Tokyo International Film Festival activities were indeed moving forward solidly.
In the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, although there were many foreign guests staying there usually, there were more and more foreigners from various countries during this period, which put the English ability of the waiters with accents to a huge test, not to mention French, Italian, Russian, Slavic, Czech, etc...
And in Minato Ward, one could often see Western faces, and recently, more and more foreigners had come to Minato Ward, and each one looked like they were not short of money.
Major tourist attractions in Tokyo, such as Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace, etc., as well as major core commercial districts, such as Ginza, Shinjuku, Roppongi, etc., all had many more tourists...
Large international events are like whirlpools, attracting domestic and foreign tourists, and can bring positive economic benefits to the host location.
Tokyo had just hosted the World Expo, which also attracted many people... but it was in the surrounding Tsukuba New Town.
And this time, the Tokyo International Film Festival was held in the center of Tokyo, and the domestic and foreign tourists it attracted were truly starting to stimulate Tokyo's own economy~
Near Yoyogi, posters for the Tokyo International Film Festival were everywhere, and many people were waiting for the official opening of the International Film Festival in October...
The opening film had been decided as the currently hot *Our Little Sister*, but there were also Tree Friend Films' *One Cut of the Dead*, Toei's *Yakuza*, and excellent foreign films such as *Kiss of the Spider Woman*, *The Horse*, etc.
They were not just because they liked movies, but because the red carpet show at that time, in addition to local Japanese movie stars, movie stars from all over the world would not miss this feast!
Ken Takakura, Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone.......
At that time, we should be able to see a star-studded scene! ===== CHAPTER 912 =====
