Chapter 1040 1049, Naoki-San, Do You Want to Buy an Island? !
Ginza is full of tall buildings, but one of the office buildings has frequently appeared in discussions in the financial community this year - Shuyou Capital.
Generally speaking, although the entertainment industry and the financial industry are both places of fame and fortune, on the surface they are not very related fields. After all, no one wants the inside story of private transactions to be exposed in the sun, and on the surface they all pretend that we are not familiar with each other.
Shuyou Capital is different. As an investment company founded by Naoki Nagayama, a celebrity in the entertainment industry, it was unknown at the beginning, and everyone who heard about it thought it was just a shell company to manage his assets.
But since last year, this company has suddenly taken some magic medicine and keenly seized two important opportunities. One was the merger of General Fujitsu at the beginning of the year, and the other was the Plaza Accord at the end of the year, which doubled its assets instantly.
No, it even doubled more than ten times, becoming an investment institution with a capital of up to 100 billion, and it is still rising. Their increasing investment behavior is seen by the entire industry.
This is just an estimate by industry professionals. After all, Shuyou Capital is not a listed company and does not need to publish financial reports.
They also couldn't know that Naoki Nagayama still had a fund reserve of up to 500 million US dollars in the US capital market, and his assets in Japan were only about half of his assets.
At the beginning of this year, Shuyou Capital began to recruit new people, which stirred up the whole Ginza.
Many outstanding graduates from top universities such as the University of Tokyo, Hitotsubashi, and Waseda chose to go to Shuyou Capital, which made people in other financial institutions feel the pressure. Excellent talents are the guarantee of competitiveness in the financial investment industry!
And this afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to his company again
"Naoki-san!"
Kanai Tsukaka at the front desk is now the team leader of the administrative department, with two newly recruited administrative staff to ensure the company's logistics and daily schedule.
"Zuo Xiang-chan, good afternoon~"
Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, and then looked at the company which was much busier than before, and sighed,
"I haven't been here for a few days, and the company is much busier again!"
"The employees who were interviewed before have all arrived at their posts"
It is already the end of April, and many college graduates have started to work. This time, Shuyou Capital has jumped from a small company of more than a dozen people to 40 or 50 people. The original one-story office building is more or less crowded.
"Maybe you can consider renting another floor."
As for buying an office building directly? Maybe you can also bring it up, anyway, the office building in Ginza is not afraid of depreciation.
With this idea in mind, Naoki Nagayama came to his office and took a look at the operating report during his absence.
At this time, Nakai Yuta walked in
"Naoki-san, why are you here today?"
Nakai Yuta had a drink with Naoki Nagayama the day before, talked about the trip to Hong Kong, and got the gift that Naoki Nagayama brought him.
"Come and take a look at the company." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "See if it can be used as the shooting scene for the upcoming "Tiger of Ginza"."
"As a film set?"
Nakai Yuta was a little surprised. He knew about "Tiger of Ginza" and it was one of Shuyou's key projects this year.
"Naoki-san is planning to shoot here?"
"Yes, part of the company's scenes."
Naoki Nagayama looked around his high-end office, which was simple and elegant in style. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows allowed him to see the prosperity of Ginza directly.
Standing in the office and looking out, it was as if he was towering over the entire Ginza.
"Yuta-san can also appear on camera, as an extra."
"Hahaha~" Nakai Yuta laughed, "Me? Can I actually make a movie?"
"Yes. Everyone else in Shuyou Capital can get a bonus for being an extra," Nagayama Naoki said, "and you don't actually have to do anything, just follow your usual work."
"Haha~ I didn't expect that I would have a chance to be an actor," Nakai Yuta laughed~
If Naoki Nagayama wasn't the president of Shuyou Capital, Nakai Yuta would never have agreed. What bonus for being an extra, do they still need this little bit of money?
As long as they join Shuyou Capital, they can earn hundreds of dollars every minute!
These strange thoughts flashed through Nakai Yuta's mind, but he still knew who was in charge of this company, and as a businessman, he began to think about whether it would be good for the company.
"By the way, Naoki-san, should we directly show our company's logo in the movie?"
Many companies want to put advertisements in big movies!
The movies made by Naoki Nagayama himself did not allow advertising sponsorship, but this movie is a commercial film by Shuyou Films.
"Ha~ Yuta-san, do you want to advertise?"
"Yes. It will cost a lot to advertise in other places. But Naoki-san, Shuyou Capital is your company! Haha~"
"Hmm"
Naoki Nagayama did not disagree. This period was the expansion period of Shuyou Capital. If it could be shown in the movie, it would be very beneficial to expand its reputation. It was obviously a win-win situation.
"Okay, I'll modify it a little bit, and let the company founded by the male protagonist of "Ginza Tiger" be called Shuyou Capital."
With the script in hand, you can write it however you want!
Anyway, it will be the same in the end if the male protagonist gets cheated and the company falls into other hands!
"That's fine. When will the filming start? We will definitely cooperate with the filming and let the employees dress up!"
"Haha, the filming will start in May. It will probably be in June if it is filmed with Shuyou Capital."
"No problem!"
The two chatted about the movie for a while with a smile, and then talked about the current investment situation.
The main fund of Shuyou Capital is Naoki Naoki's private funds. The investment direction is planned by Naoki Naoki Naoki, adhering to long-termism.
Maybe it is not as frequent as other accounts of Shuyou Capital, and the short-term yield rate is not exceeded, but it is very stable.
Naoki Naoki did not spend too much time on investment transactions. He knew that as long as he did not miss the bubble burst around 1989 and the future Internet trend, his money would definitely expand to a point he dared not imagine.
Nakai Yuta was reporting other real estate investments to Nagayama Naoki.
"Now Shuyou Real Estate has a lot of commercial real estate under its name, in every city." Nakai Yuta said, "Do we really rely on rent?"
"Yeah," Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Other operations are too troublesome."
He also knew that he could buy land to build shopping malls, parks, complexes, Shuyou Plaza, etc., but those still require the establishment of construction companies and real estate companies. All kinds of operations are too troublesome.
People can create a wealthy family just by relying on Hong Kong shops. This kind of income with almost no risk is what Nagayama Naoki pursues.
"So. Naoki-san."
Since real estate was mentioned, Nakai Yuta brought up another matter.
"Do you want to buy an island?"
"Buy an island?"
Naoki Nagayama said in surprise.
"Is it the island I was thinking of?"
"Yeah," Nakai Yuta nodded. "In addition to the four large islands, Japan has countless small islands. Some are inhabited, and some are uninhabited."
"These islands can be purchased, but it is more difficult to develop them."
Even islands with inhabitants can actually be purchased, but you can't drive the residents out. You need to buy their houses and give compensation, etc.
"Buy an island for fun?"
Naoki Nagayama was aroused by interest. An island that he could completely control, he could build whatever he wanted, and once the door was closed, it would be his own private kingdom.
"Okay, then buy one!"
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.
"I want to build a zoo on the island!"
"."
Nakai Yuta's smiling face froze.
I wouldn't say anything if you built a castle, but what the hell is buying an uninhabited island and building a zoo!
In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama came to the filming base again.
The crew was ready, and all the staff were ready.
The filming of "Tokyo Love Story" has almost entered the final stage. Rika Akaname, who was hurt by Nagao Kanji, has decided to go to the United States and chose to leave without saying goodbye.
Nagao Kanji kept looking, and finally thought of his hometown Ehime Prefecture. On the pillar of his campus, he saw another name of Rika Akaname next to his name.
Before this scene, it was necessary to shoot a monologue on the tram in which Rika Akaname cried while sitting on the tram.
The executive director of the crew, Muneo Matsuo, had already contacted the subway company and rented a carriage. After everyone got on the train, he set up the set.
"Honami-chan, are you ready?"
This scene was more troublesome to shoot, and Naoki Nagayama had to be more cautious, because this time he was really crying, and it was shot close to his face. After crying once, crying again will be very different.
Suzuki Honami took a deep breath and nodded:
"Hi!"
"Well, don't worry about taking time, just follow your own pace."
Naoki Naoyama gave a warning, then gestured to the camera and whispered,
"Action!"
As the car swayed slightly, Suzuki Honami, who was sitting sideways against the window, looked at the photo in her hand and fell into silence.
Slowly, memories came to her mind, scenes of her time with Nagao Kanji
Finally, she couldn't help it, tears kept flowing from her eyes.
On the screen, the crying scenes of beautiful heroines are usually like those in Qiong Yao's dramas, with big tears falling from the eyes, hitting the ground and blooming a small splash of water, while the crying protagonist herself didn't even have her makeup ruined.
The kind of "fairy tears" that are jokingly called "fairy tears" actually rely on acting skills, and there are very few people who really look good when they cry!
What is first holding your breath to let the tears gather in your eyes, closing your eyelids at the moment of tears, and at the same time applying a slight downward force on your face have become secrets in the entertainment industry!
Today, Naoki Nagayama asked Suzuki Honami to cry in the most realistic way, with tears streaming down her face, in order to make people feel the sadness of the character.
The afternoon sun shone in from the window of the carriage, making the whole carriage in a warm atmosphere. In such an environment, Rika Akaname looked at a photo and couldn't stop crying.
But she seemed to be concerned about the people next to her and didn't dare to cry out loud.
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was fine, but she was the only one left who was sad.
This sense of detachment made the audience focus all their attention on Rika Akaname's heart.
"Cut!"
Seeing that the effect had come out, Naoki Nagayama quickly shouted "Cut".
But Suzuki Honami over there was caught up in her emotions and couldn't stop for a long time. This is called getting into the role!
"Very good! Honami-chan, calm down a bit, this crying scene is very good!"
"Hi"
Suzuki Honami wiped her face with a tissue, and she was still in that mood.
The scenes after Naoki Nagayama started to communicate with others, because there was also a short exchange in the carriage.
After the scenes in the carriage were shot, the crew packed up and went to Narita Airport to take a plane. They had to fly to Ehime Prefecture to shoot the exterior scenes.
"If it's Ehime Prefecture, it seems that Hiroshima is across the street?"
Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of this question while looking at the map,
"Do you want to go and see? Is there still radiation?"
Then he saw the bay between Shikoku and the main island, with a large island in the middle,
"It seems that the island that Yuan Tai-san mentioned before is in this bay."
Ehime Prefecture is in the west of Shikoku, and the Seto Inland Sea is in the north. There are more than 200 islands connected by the "Shimanami Kaido". It should be the prototype of the Wave Country in Naruto.
"This kind of bridge shouldn't be Naruto Bridge!"
It was almost evening when we arrived here. Looking at the bridge over the Seto Inland Sea, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sigh.
He recalled anime like Detective Conan and Slam Dunk, and was also impressed by the three popular animes of Death, Fire and Sea, but surprisingly did not recall these three anime.
"Is it because there are no memorable songs?"
It is said that people's memory of sound is the most profound. They can hear the sound before they are born, and it is also the last feeling to lose after death. Naoki Nagayama thinks that this may be the reason.
The Death, Fire and Sea is so long, but there is no widely sung song left. It's really not right!
But, is there really no song left?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his head. There are still many things in reality. The crew of "Tokyo Love Story" quickly found the campus that echoed the description of the novel.
But first
"Is it enough to just carve the name? Do you know how to make it look old?"
Naoki Nagayama complained to the props team,
"We need to burn it with fire to carbonize the surface of the wood, and then polish it with sandpaper! Only in this way can it feel old!"
"."
The prop master was very helpless,
"Naoki-san, we are not making antiques. Besides, this is a school, and we can't burn the pillars."
"Uh"
"Just wipe it with wood wax oil."
"Hey, I won't bother you then!"
Naoki Nagayama ran away. Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals!
Wait, how can a prop master know how to make antiques? !
After the set was handled, Naoki Nagayama quickly asked the crew to get ready.
After Akana Rika left without saying goodbye, Nagao Kanji finally showed his wisdom once in the whole play, and soon came to his hometown of Ehime Prefecture.
He saw his own name carved on the pillar of the campus, and next to it, there was a new scratch, with Akana Rika engraved on it.
In the warm afternoon sunshine, Nagao Kanji found Rika Akaname who had left without saying goodbye on the school playground.
"Maruko-kun~~~"
Rika Akaname's smile was still as bright as ever~
