Chapter 1052 1061, If You Can't Fly a Private Plane, What's the Point of Calling a Full-Time Driver? !
The morning newspapers once again published news about Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori.
Even though she has married into the Nagayama family, the media still used the stage name Akina Nakamori when reporting because it is more recognizable.
"Akina Nakamori is in the late stage of pregnancy and is happily shopping with her husband!" "Relaxing? Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama appeared in Shinjuku, and the expected date of birth is August." "Celebrity couple shopping together, what brand?"
It seems that there is no big news during this period. After the media found this news, they immediately promoted it.
The long-lost name of Akina Nakamori appeared in people's ears again and became the center of everyone's discussion.
For ordinary celebrities in the entertainment industry, if they don't show up for a month, their popularity will decline, if they don't show up for three months, their fans will decrease, and if they don't show up for half a year, they will be replaced!
But Akina Nakamori seems to have broken this rule. Even if she hasn't appeared for half a year, her popularity is still so hot.
"Akina Nakamori."
Seiko Matsuda, who was also waiting for the birth of her baby at home, looked at the newspaper and felt unwilling.
The photos of her being secretly photographed when she went for a prenatal checkup two days ago were not put on the cover of many newspapers.
"Why can she always surpass me so easily?!"
After sulking, Seiko Matsuda called her own agency to inquire about the comeback plan.
"I plan to give birth to a baby in October. Leave a month for me to recover, and I can arrange the announcement in December!"
The president of Sunny music agency, Aizawa Hidemasa, was a little surprised:
"Seiko, don't you need to rest for a while? Just having a baby is bad for your body."
"Stay away!" Seiko Matsuda shook her head and said firmly, "The New Year is a watershed. After the New Year, everyone will forget what happened a year ago."
"They will, forget me!"
Seiko Matsuda got married in the first half of last year, and after her honeymoon and pregnancy, she has been retired for more than a year now.
Although there are magazines and revelations, the gossip revelations are not at the same level as the announcements on TV.
If another year passes, people will probably really think that she has not appeared since the year before last, and in retrospect, she will probably become "the idol who retired for two years"!
"Hey, we will arrange it."
President Aizawa Hidemasa nodded and agreed,
"We will try our best to let Seiko-san appear on the Red and White Song Festival!"
"Aliga~"
"Naoki-san, ignore me~"
When Naoyama Naoki got off the plane, he saw Fujita Keiko, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Now Fujita Keiko is wearing a high-end women's suit, with big waves, and glasses, she is so cool and cool, like a strong woman who walked out of a TV series.
Speaking of which, Fujita Keiko, who used to be an ordinary real estate agent, can be regarded as a member of the group that followed Naoyama Naoki. From buying his first house to the current investment and development manager of the real estate investment department of Shuyou Capital, she has crossed several classes.
The transaction volume handled in a month now may not be achieved in the past two or three years.
"Keiko-san," Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, "I don't recognize you anymore!"
"Haha, this is the dress of a business elite, it has aura!"
While talking, Keiko Fujita led Naoki Nagayama to the other side of the airport in a swift and decisive manner,
"It's too slow to take a boat to the Seto Inland Sea, so we rented a helicopter this time."
This is Ehime Prefecture, a coastal city in the Seto Inland Sea. Naoki Nagayama came here today to see the island he bought.
The small helicopter was ready. After Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Fujita sat in the back seat and put on headphones, the driver gave a thumbs up in front, and then the propeller spun, bringing a gust of wind.
The weather was very good today, and it was a very wonderful feeling to see the sea from mid-air.
The blue Seto Inland Sea is like an uneven mirror. The folds blown by the sea breeze sparkle in the sun, and the waves of the boats leave long white ripples on the water.
The outer periphery of the verdant island in the distance is black reef, but there is a white sand beach in the inner bay, and the shadow of the building is faintly revealed in the woods.
"Naoki-san, the residents here wanted to build a resort before, but the investment was too large and the return was too low."
Fujita Keiko pointed to the beach and introduced,
"There are many small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. This island is not far from the bustling port. There is only a beach here and no other attractions. The investment cost-effectiveness is too low. So no travel company wants to invest."
"So what are the houses there now?"
"Originally they were residential houses, but now they are all abandoned."
"I see."
The Seto Inland Sea has a warm climate and little rain all year round. There are no raw materials or fuel. It has become a processing trade zone due to its geographical location. Shipping is very developed. This island is not on the route, but cargo ships can be seen passing by.
The helicopter landed in a square in the center of the island. It used to be a village with citrus trees planted around it, but now it was very quiet. The sound of the helicopter landing only made a few old ladies who were basking in the sun look up.
"Is anyone still living there?"
Naoki Nagayama glanced at the old man at the door of the farmhouse and was a little surprised. You know, such old people are the most troublesome in the relocation.
"Hi, but their children have all moved to nearby counties, and the rest will be left to the orange orchard." Keiko Fujita was not in a hurry. "If they sell the house this time, they can also use a sum of money to move there."
To be honest, it doesn't matter if we don't move. There are no people on this island anymore, and the village will be abandoned.
If you have children, it is best to use money to support the elderly. If you do not have children, these elderly people will definitely be sent to a nearby nursing home when they reach a certain age, otherwise they will die silently.
After Naoki Nagayama bought the island, he would have to build a smaller building far away from the village. If it were a big project, it would be possible to build it in five to ten years.
Following the relatively flat dirt road, Naoki Nagayama and Keiko Fujita walked around the island for a while, looking down at it from the highest hillside.
“This beach is about 300 meters long and has a white sand beach, which is very good.”
"The terrain of Island Bay is flat. Behind it is a hillside."
Although Naoki Nagayama has not yet planned what to build, it does occupy a large area here, and it will probably take more than half a day to circle around the island.
"Naoki-san" Fujita Keiko reminded him, "If you want to develop this island, you need to cut down trees, build roads, and level the land. You need to transfer equipment and manpower from Ehime Prefecture. If you want to be self-sufficient, you also need power generation equipment, etc." etc. The subsequent investment will be huge.”
"Hmm" Nagayama Naoki nodded, developing an island is indeed very troublesome.
But so what, I have money!
The project design is handed over to the design institute, the construction is handed over to the construction company, and the project progress is handed over to the auditing company. I just need to enjoy it in the end!
After wandering around the uninhabited island for a long time, my legs were a little sore from walking. When I finally returned to the village, I fetched a bucket of water from the village well to drink and there was still fresh water. It couldn't be better!
"Naoki-san, what projects do you plan to build after buying this island?"
Keiko Fujita asked casually while drinking water.
"It hasn't been decided yet. It's possible to go to a resort or a park."
"Eh~~~"
Before I even thought about what to do with it, I spent a lot of money to buy an island. The land is not expensive, about a billion, plus the real estate of the entire village and orange orchards and other industries, the total is more than two billion, right?
Thinking back to the land Naoki Nagayama bought before, Keiko Fujita couldn't help but sigh,
“It’s great to have money~”
Looking at the hillsides, woodlands, and various terrains on this open island, an idea came to mind!
"It seems like it would be great for filming "Battle Royale"."
When the time comes, you can use the filming of the movie to attract investment, and use the infrastructure as an expense for filming. In this way, you can also spend other people's money to build your own island! How nice!
Naturally, Naoki Nagayama does not need to do the subsequent procedures himself. Now the real estate company under Shuyou Capital can help complete it.
Now that they had finished reading, Fujita Keiko and Nagayama Naoki got on the helicopter and flew to Ehime County until they landed safely at the airport.
"Naoki-san, by the end of the year, this island will be your private island!"
"Then we can ask the design company to come over for survey in advance." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "It is best to complete the development of the island within three years."
"It should be fine."
Fujita Keiko answered with a smile, then looked at the time and asked,
"Naoki-san, it's already this time. Are you going to eat in Ehime County today? The seafood here is very fresh."
"No."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head,
"I've already bought the plane ticket, and I'll transfer directly at the airport. Otherwise it will be too late to return to Tokyo~"
"Hey, have a nice trip."
Fujita Keiko still wanted to stay to deal with the island purchase procedures and would not go back with Nagayama Naoki.
"Thank you for your hard work~"
Naoki Nagayama, who had transferred to two flights in a row, finally returned to Narita Airport in the evening.
Full-time driver Toda Zhi'an has already picked up the plane at the airport gate:
"Naoki-san, did your trip go well today?"
"Yeah, I've seen the island too."
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Nagayama Naoki only felt a little sore in his back. It was really tiring to catch flights continuously, even if it was first class.
“It’s just too busy to catch a flight. There are only two flights between Ehime Prefecture and Tokyo every day.”
Toda Zhian could only smile:
"There is nothing we can do about it. Airlines depend on demand. There is not much demand for travel between Ehime Prefecture and Tokyo."
"Yes, yes. We all have to listen to the airlines."
Nagayama Naoki moved his arms and sounded a little unhappy. He had just planned to spend several billion tomorrow, but he still had to catch a flight. If only the plane were mine, I could fly whenever I wanted.
Wait what if the plane is my own? !
The term private jet is not common. Like luxury yachts, it is usually something only the super rich can own. And now, Naoki Nagayama seems to be one of the neon super rich
And there is nothing wrong with buying a private jet, but maintaining it requires a lot of things, such as hangars, pilots, and professional maintenance personnel.
"Zhi'an-kun, can you fly a plane?"
Naoki Nagayama subconsciously asked his exclusive driver. After all, airplanes are just a means of transportation, and pilots are also drivers in a broad sense!
"Ah?" Toda Zhi'an was surprised, "Me? Flying a plane?"
"Yes, if I buy a private plane, I will be short of a pilot." Nagayama Naoki said, "Zhi'an-kun, you are my full-time driver, and flying a plane is also a necessary skill!"
“If you don’t know how to fly a private jet, what would you call a chauffeur?!”
"???"
When did the requirements for full-time drivers become so high?
Toda Zhi'an's face was full of doubts, but he still answered honestly:
"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, I can't fly a plane"
"Alas" Nagayama Naoki sighed, "Zhi'an-kun, you have to make progress as a driver. Find an opportunity to learn to fly a plane. Once you learn how to fly my private plane, I will let you fly it. By then your salary will be more than Just double it!”
"If you can't learn it, I'll have to find a full-time pilot."
"."
Toda Zhi'an didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Hey, I'll do your best!"
After teasing his driver, Nagayama Naoki felt in a good mood, and the fatigue from the whole day seemed to be a little lighter.
After returning to Shanyingyuan, Taro Taro was indeed the first one to come over to greet him.
The dog rubbed back and forth against Nagayama Naoki's thigh, and the feeling of its thick tail hitting his leg was like a mallet.
"Yo Xi, yo Xi, have you been good and listened to your mother today?"
"Yangtaro is very good!"
When he raised his head, he saw Akina standing at the door looking at the loving father and son.
"I even broke a pot of flowers in the flower garden today!"
After speaking, he pointed in the direction of the flower garden. A flower was lying on the edge and had to wait for the garden maintenance company to replace it next week.
"."
Nagayama Naoki looked at Gouzi who lowered his head to please, and then looked at Akina who was holding her belly, and stretched out his hand to grab the flesh of Gouzi's face.
"The bad dog is asking you to run around!"
"Woof woof, woof woof! (Master, I am wronged!)"
"I'll cut off your balls next time you run around!"
"."
After entering the door, a burst of fragrance came. Mrs. Mari Nonaka was making dinner in the kitchen, and the tempting fragrance had already spread.
"Naoki-san, Akina-san, wait a little longer and you can have dinner!"
"Hi~"
Nagayama Naoki pulled Akina to sit down on the sofa and asked about today's situation.
"Why haven't you called Naoki-san all day?"
"You are not allowed to make phone calls on the plane, and there is no signal on the island."
Nagayama Naoki brought a mobile phone, but in this era, mobile phones can only have signals in big cities, and some of them are useless.
"I even had lunch on the plane today."
"Eh~~ It's so miserable."
Akina patted her husband's shoulder to express comfort.
“Eat more at night”
"."
"How about that island?"
"Ha, that island is huge." Nagayama Naoki began to talk endlessly, "There is a small abandoned village in the middle. In the village, there is a bay around the freshwater well and a long beach."
Akina's eyes lit up when she heard this. She naturally knew that her husband was going to buy an island. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have gone with him to check it out.
"Mingna, what do you think we should build on this island?"
"Isn't it a zoo for rare animals?" Akina turned her head and said, "If it is surrounded by sea water, the animals cannot escape. There is also fresh water and various terrains, so that various animals can have their own habitats."
"We only need to build a few houses for temporary stays, and people can buy tickets to go to the island to see rare animals up close."
"."
What, Akina-chan, are you going to build a real-life version of "Jurassic Park"? !
This thinking is very advanced!
"Some animals are illegal," Nagayama Naoki complained, "unless you use genetic technology to clone them."
"Is it possible?" Akina was surprised and curious, "Clone a dinosaur?"
"." It's really going to be "Jurassic Park"!
Fortunately, at this time, Nonaka Mari called out from the restaurant: "Naoki-san, Akina-san, dinner is ready!"
"Ah, come right over!"
Nagayama Naoki quickly took Akina to dinner!
