Chapter 560 558, the Title of Writer Can Finally Come in Handy!
Anyone who has bought a house knows that high-quality properties are always similar. Properties with good locations, good transportation, and good floor plans have their own disadvantages.
After reaching a certain price, there is actually no big problem with the real estate in the central city. The only problem is whether you can afford it.
Naoki Nagayama and the other three followed Keiko Fujita's family and looked around. Shimokitazawa, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Roppongi seemed to think that all the houses behind them were very good.
"Ms. Fujita." Nagayama Kaede was a little moved. "As for these properties, we may have to negotiate before we can rent them. We may not decide today."
Keiko Fujita's smile always hangs on her face. She has made a decision today and the first quarter results have been achieved. What else is there to be dissatisfied with~
"Stupid tape, I should have thought more about it. And I will look for more alternative properties in the future!"
Nagayama Naoki said: "Keiko-san, if the landlord is willing to sell several properties, I am willing to buy them at the market price. If you just rent them, you really have to wait."
"Do you want to buy it? I understand~"
Fujita Keiko took it seriously. Although most people who own these properties can see their appreciation potential, there are always landlords who need working capital and there are many properties for sale in other places~
The subsequent transactions will naturally have to go through the process. Keiko Fujita hurriedly said goodbye and went back, wanting to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
But now that the address of the first KTV has been decided, it’s time to start the relevant preparations.
Naoki Nagayama said to Shigemo Araki next to him: "Mochi-san, I will find someone to design the decoration of the KTV. However, this kind of indoor redecoration should not take too much time. It is expected to be completed in March. This In a few months, you need to reserve and train relevant manpower~"
Araki Shigechi nodded: "Hi!"
Yongshan Feng was actually very interested in KTVs similar to nightclubs, and immediately said: "Except for some of my younger brothers who are making some progress as artists, others can also come and help."
"Ha, of course they are indispensable." Nagayama Naoki smiled, "But Brother Feng, they are mainly here to learn. After all, you will also open a KTV later. This time, the design, decoration, and purchase and use of karaoke equipment , you all have to participate.”
"Yeah! I can!" Nagayama Kaede patted Araki Shigechi on the shoulder, "Mogechi-san and I are good brothers! We will definitely learn from it!"
Araki Shigechi's face twitched when he patted it down. This rude man didn't know how to restrain his strength at all. It hurt so much.
But he still had a smile on his face: "Yes, I will teach Brother Feng well~"
"Hahaha, this is a good brother!!!"
Nagayama Kaede patted Shigetomo Araki hard again, and put their arms around each other as if they were two good brothers~
Seeing the expression on Araki Shigetomo's face that was so excited that he was about to cry, Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. He thought he cared about the brotherhood between the two, and sighed:
"What a touching brotherly love!"
After the few people separated, Naoki Nagayama drove back to Yamazakuin.
Under the setting sun on the horizon, the shadow of the Yamazakura Garden is getting longer and longer, but the gray-brown exterior wall is coated with a layer of warm color under the setting sun, making it look very beautiful.
After hearing the sound of the iron gate opening, Kotaro waggled his tail to welcome Naoki Nagayama's arrival, while Nyataro in the yard was lying on the verandah, folding his limbs under his belly, and just looking up at his home The return of the master.
Nagayama Naoki didn't want to continue coding as soon as he came back. Instead, he played games with Nyaotaro in the yard for a while, then leaned cross-legged on the eaves pillar and watched the sunset slowly set with Nyaotarou.
Dinner was relatively simple. Nagayama Naoki directly asked a nearby restaurant to deliver takeout, including salmon rice bowl in a delicate lacquer box, and some sea urchin sushi.
“I always feel like I’ve done less”
After finishing his meal, Nagayama Naoki was watching TV on the sofa in the living room, stroking Nyaotaro while thinking wildly.
"Ah! KTV design! I haven't contacted the designer yet!"
Thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama immediately found the phone number of Honma Design Office and dialed it. The design office itself is also their residence, so there is no need to worry about getting off work~
"Beep~~~Beep~~~" The long tone in the microphone sounded for a while before I heard the sound of the phone being picked up.
"Moses Moses. This is Honma Design Office." But what was heard was a strange female voice.
"Moses Moses, this is Naoki Nagayama. Is the architect Takashi Honma here?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Private Marseille, Mr. Honma is currently on a business trip to Kyoto."
"So, is Mr. Naoya Sakata here?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
".Sakata-senpai has also passed."
".So, who are you?"
"Ah, Private Marseille, it's so rude." The guy on the microphone apologized repeatedly, "I am an intern at Honma Design Office, Shinkai Ishida."
"Well, Ishida-san, I have a need for architectural design."
"Private Marseille, the teacher and seniors are not here, I can't answer the request for the time being!" Ishida Shinkai continued to apologize on the phone.
".I want to submit it to Honma Design Office."
"Private Marseille, I can't take orders if my teacher and seniors are not here!" The voice on the microphone became nervous and apologized again~
Is there a question mark on Naoki Nagayama’s head? Is this intern a little dull?
"Ahem, Ishida-san, I want to make an appointment with you to talk about the commission with Honma-san or Sakata-san."
"Ah, but the teacher and seniors are both in Kyoto."
"." Naoki Nagayama may know why Takashi Honma didn't take this intern to Kyoto.
"Ishida-san, you can contact them. Naoki Nagayama has a new design commission. I hope to meet with them tomorrow afternoon." Naoki Nagayama explained as clearly as possible.
Ishida Shinkai seemed to be hesitant: "But the teacher said that the garden project in Kyoto is very important and he can't let it go."
Nagayama Naoki knew it was a courtyard in Kyoto when he heard it. He said into the microphone:
"Ishida-san, just contact me, Honma-san will definitely come back."
"Huh?. How can you be so sure?"
"Because...that garden project is my commission!"
"."
After hanging up the phone, Nagayama Naoki felt a little strange. Would Honma-san recruit such a naturally stupid intern?
Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki went to the study room on the second floor. Before going to bed, he should write more words~
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama still got up early, awakened by his powerful biological clock.
The sunshine outside is just right and the air is very fresh, making everyone and the dog feel comfortable both physically and mentally after returning from a walk.
Sitting at the dining table, eating a Western-style breakfast consisting of bacon, fried eggs, sausage, bread and milk, Naoki Nagayama read this morning's newspaper as usual.
"A 9-year-old child in Hokkaido disappeared inexplicably? Hidenori Jomaru?" Looking at the large-scale report in the report, Nagayama Naoki was very surprised. Could this be the famous "Jomaru-kun disappearance case"?
Having heard this story in a previous life, it seems that the identity of the body was not determined until after 2000, and it was actually in the murderer's new home. Because the prosecution period had expired, there was no verdict in the end. Then the suspect actually sued the prosecutor and claimed more than 10 million yuan.
"Oh, procedural justice~" Nagayama Naoki curled his lips. In his previous life, he only learned about such a bizarre case when he was chatting with his law school classmates in college.
In the Showa era, technology was not developed, so there were countless cases that were buried!
Nagayama Naoki touched Gouzi's head: "He actually doesn't even let the children go. It's really the devil in the world!"
If you don't know, forget it, but since Nagayama Naoki knows it, he naturally doesn't want this murderer. After Xiaoyao finished breakfast, Nagayama Naoki went to the study on the second floor and directly typed "Jomaru" on ordinary white paper with a typewriter. You put it in Kudo Kajuko’s carton and transported it away by car.”
Then I typed the address of the Sapporo City Toyohira Police Station again, found an ordinary envelope and put the address on it. Then on the way to the studio, I found a random mailbox and sent it as an anonymous letter. Feel the justice from heaven. ,criminal!
Nagayama Naoki is not worried at all about the police coming~ In this era, it is even harder to find a third party who has no involvement in the case with an anonymous letter~
After completing a just deed, Nagayama Naoki felt that his thoughts were clear and he came to the studio in a good mood.
"Naoki-san~" "Good morning~" "Naoki-san!" "."
After greeting the employees, Naoki Nagayama came to the office.
"Naoki-san?" Yoshimura Otomo looked very surprised, "Have you finished writing your novel?"
"Of course not. But there's no need to be so anxious about this kind of thing." Nagayama Naoki took out a document from his backpack, "I've done this."
Yoshimura Otomo received it and looked at it. It turned out to be the program plan for the "Newspeak Buzzword Awards".
"It's done!" Yoshimura Otomo opened the pages and looked at them, "This is an annual program."
"Yes, I think it can live a long life." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "The long-term influence may be greater than "Dusk Meow Meow"."
"Naoki-san, should we go directly to Director Takano of Fuji TV?" Otomo Yoshimura looked at it briefly and then looked up at Naoki Nagayama.
"Of course not," Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "We have to control the direction of this show ourselves. Aren't I going to hold a book signing this weekend? I will discuss it with Shogakukan."
"Otomo-san, you used to be an editor. Do you know anyone about the Japan Free National Society?"
Fangcun Otomo was stunned for a moment: "It seems that there has been contact, but there has been no contact for a long time."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. The publishing industry is not big, and there are almost always connections within the industry." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Kadokawa Bookstore, please contact Otomo-san to see if you are interested in taking on this event together."
"Free National Society". As you can tell by this name, it has something to do with the government.
Nagayama Naoki wanted to build relationships with Shogakukan and Kadokawa Shoten, and then get a publishing house with a certain official nature like the Japan Free National Society to participate. This kind of expansion of influence has a high success rate.
In the publishing circle, he is Naoki Nagayama, a well-known best-selling author. This name can come in handy!
Publishers will always take a fancy to the programs planned by "Naoki Award recipients"!
Yoshimura Otomo nodded after listening to Nagayama Naoki's words:
"It just so happens that we will continue to discuss equity issues with Kadokawa tomorrow, so you can make an appointment with Haruki-san by the way."
"Oh? Equity?" Naoki Nagayama left the matter entirely to Otomo Yoshimura, "How did the talks go?"
"Kadokawa has agreed to exchange Kadokawa Pictures' shares for our group's shares, but in terms of proportion, they hope it will be 12.5%." Yoshimura Otomo said, "And we hold 5% of Kadokawa Pictures' shares."
"We are a group shareholder! We will make a lot of money from other businesses in the future." Nagayama Naoki shook his head. Although the most profitable stock markets and real estate are independent companies, there are also self-operated firms, and there will be more and more idols in the future. The income will also increase, "At most 10%, Otomo-san, this is our bottom line~"
As for the shares of Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, Nagayama Naoki planned to give them 5% directly. It was originally diluted. Shuichi-san reduced it a little because he only dealt with movies, while Otomo-san managed more areas. The proportion goes up a bit.
"Hi, I will continue to communicate with you."
Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "But Naoki-san, next week, it's best to meet Kadokawa Haruki-san."
"Well, I understand."
Nagayama Naoki actually also understands that two people with the final decision-making power on some matters may be able to decide it over a glass of wine at the wine table.
"By the way, Shuichi-san?"
"He still went to contact his friends in the film industry!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "There is no other way, I have to work hard on "Love Letter"!"
"Haha, that was really hard work~"
"Don't say that," Fangcun Daiyou said with a smile, "I spend all my time drinking and drinking with public money. Maybe Shuichi-san is enjoying it!"
"Hahaha~"
There was still plenty of time in the morning, and Nagayama Naoki continued to talk about the company's reorganization for a while on the topic of the previous equity transaction.
Nagayama Naoki briefly drew his idea on the paper:
"Shuyou Pictures was managed by Xiu Yisang, and the film shooting base he planned to build later was also operated by him;
The newly built Shuyou Entertainment branch will be mainly responsible for the idol management business, record distribution, and some related affairs in the entertainment industry. By the way, my disco and the KTV that is being built are also under Shuyou Entertainment. under"
"Isn't this Naoki-san's private nightclub?" Otomo Yoshimura asked.
"The personnel and financial management inside are troublesome, and there is a limit on the income you can earn. Let's just merge them together." Naoki Nagayama said, "Besides, my cousin will also establish a company specializing in KTV in the future. Shuyou Entertainment We will also get a certain amount of shares and all the parts related to the nightclub will be operated by Shigechi Araki.”
In fact, Naoki Nagayama didn't have the energy to review the income of these scattered nightclubs, so he directly found a superior to take charge of these businesses.
Yoshimura Otomo nodded from time to time as he listened to Naoki Nagayama's words.
Anyway, a goose can be released, and a group of geese can be released. Shuyou Entertainment has invested in the label Rebellion and the Kitty Club. It doesn’t matter if there is another KTV chain company.
During the discussion in the studio, Hanami Hiroshi from Kenyin was reporting to Chairman Toshio Nozaki.
"President Nozaki, regarding Akina-chan's bid for the Best Newcomer Award, it will be of no harm to Kenin."
Hanami Hyuk leaned forward slightly on the sofa and said respectfully to Toshio Nozaki opposite him, "In the future, whether in the film industry or the entertainment industry, I can raise Akina-chan's status to a higher level."
"It is very critical for Mingcai's transformation and upgrading."
Nozaki Toshio said slowly: "Haha, President Hanami has great confidence in Akina-chan!"
After hearing this, Hanami He knew that he had not impressed Toshio Nozaki, and quickly changed his words:
"President Nozaki, in fact, this is not just for the development of Akina Nakamori. For Kenyin, this is also a major exploration for the development of artists."
"Currently, Yanyin's main business is with Akina-chan. It can be said that she is leading the firm forward." Hanami He said, "But Yanyin cannot rely on one person. This time's "Love Letter" can be said to be This great opportunity has given Yanyin a very good starting point to enter the film industry, and Yanyin can also do business in this area in the future."
Nozaki Toshio listened to Hanamihe's clever words, but his mind actually drifted to other places.
It would be great to be able to enter the film industry, and it would be even better if Kenyin could make money. However, compared to the Sasakawa Foundation's income, Kenyin's income was not too important to him. At the beginning, it was just a music research department under the Sailing News Publishing House. , the sudden rise of Akina Nakamori can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.
This time, using the Sasakawa Foundation's connections to help Akina Nakamori win the Best Newcomer Award in the film selection seems to be a little short of a success.
Hanami Hiroshi continued: "If Kenyin can use this as a breakthrough and continue to grow in the three fields of film, television and music, it will better reflect President Nozaki's foresight and wisdom in employing people!"
This sentence aroused Nozaki Toshio's interest. The Sasakawa Foundation is a very large consortium, and Nozaki Toshio is only the person in charge of a few areas. If his abilities are seen by higher-level people, then the division of internal power will There are quite a few benefits.
Nozaki Toshio felt a little relieved, but since he wanted to use the relationship of the consortium to help Nakamori Akina, there were some things that he had to talk about carefully:
"President Hanami. I heard that in April and May last year, the relationship between Akina Nakamori and Kenin was a little unstable?"
"."Immigration crisis!
Hanamikawa was speechless. It was indeed a big disturbance. He secretly used some connections in the consortium, which prevented almost all media from reporting it.
"Hey, there was a little disturbance at that time, but it has been completely calmed down!"
"Oh? Really?" Nozaki Toshio originally did not intend to take care of the trivial matters of the agency's artists, but since he was going to help a specific artist, he naturally did not want to make wedding dresses for others in the future. "President Hanami, since Akina Nakamori is very important to Kenon at present, she must be tied to Kenon firmly!"
Hanamikawa looked up at Nozaki Toshio. His face was very calm, as if he was just talking casually:
"How can the agency deepen the relationship with the artist? President Hanami should be sure, right?"
Hanamikawa's face was serious:
"Hey, I understand."
Hanamikawa walked out of the meeting room, still with a stern face. The relationship with Akina Nakamori had always been based on contracts and emotions. This time, some more unspoken rules would be used.
He thought of Akina Nakamori's family, the Nakamori family with six children, the irresponsible father and the tenacious mother.
Other agencies would also take the approach of giving benefits to the families of popular artists. If they can be tied up with money, that would be the easiest.
As for the relationship between artists and their families
After all, an agency is a money-making organization!
