Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 843 Chapter 851, Let Jobs work for me?
In the next few days, Naoki Nagayama's life became regular.

In the morning, I drove to the set in Ota Ward and rehearsed with a small crew. Then in the evening, I returned to the Takanawa 80 Building to have dinner with Akina, take a walk, and go shopping.
The paparazzi near the building were frightened by the Yakuza several times, and even the stubborn ones stopped waiting nearby.

The family of Yamaguchi Momoe also felt more relaxed. Akina and Yamaguchi Momoe became closer and even went shopping together.
During the day, we came to the abandoned factory in Ota Ward again.

"Naoki-san." The bearded Matsuo Muneo said confidently, "Let's start the actual filming today!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the crew members, including the Cat's Eye sisters, who all looked very confident, and nodded:

"It looks like everyone is already familiar with it!"

"Hey!" said the more lively Katagiri Ayayuki, "I've already run this several times! I know it like it's too familiar!"

"Well, let's give it a try~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed, and then he saw several leading actors start running around excitedly, preparing to start the real filming.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama quietly walked to the side of Sakata Kongming:

"Sakata-san, remember, when they make mistakes later, you must use close-ups!!!"

"." Sakata Kongming was helpless, "Naoki-san, how can you be sure that they will fail?"

"Ha, if they can get it right the first time, then the Blue Ribbon Award for Best Director should go to Muneo Matsuo~"

Naoki Nagayama knew in his heart that such a long one-shot could only be completed in one take through repeated attempts as if by divine intervention.

After that, Naoki Nagayama was watching from the side, as if expecting everyone to make mistakes~
"Don't stop the camera!"

Matsuo Muneo said this to the camera with a ferocious look on his face, completely violating the rule that actors cannot look directly into the camera lens.

But only in this way can we create a shock that breaks through the three-dimensional world~
Then, all the actors began to flee in panic, and several zombies with poor makeup followed them.
By the way, this is the third time I have started over from the beginning. In the first two times, an actor accidentally fell down, and in another time, the camera almost hit me when I rushed out the door.
All of them let the one-shot end halfway~
At this time, Shuichi Ido, led by Katsuyoshi Ishikawa, walked to the abandoned factory.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama watching comfortably on the small slope nearby, Idou Shuichi was very surprised:

"Naoki-san, you have it too easy as a director!"

"Eh? Why is Shuichi-san here?" Naoki Nagayama turned around and saw that Shuichi Ido's set was being renovated, but the filming should not have started yet.

"Come visit the set."

Shuichi Idou also climbed up the slope and looked down. As expected, he saw the crew of "The Camera Can't Stop" chasing and recording spontaneously.

Seeing this filming method that does not require any intervention from the director, Idou Shuichi was envious and said again:
"Naoki-san, your job as a director is so easy!"

"What? I'll give you instructions during rehearsal, okay?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Now it's time to enjoy the results!"

Idou Shuichi was a little confused:
"Didn't the script I read earlier say that the behind-the-scenes footage and the like should be considered as the real part of the film? Then don't you need to direct it?"

A voice suddenly interrupted from the side: "Sakata Kongming is filming those behind-the-scenes footage!"

Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Idou were startled and turned around to see another person standing next to them. It was Kyon Kimura who was filming "Love Century".

"Kijima-kun, when did you come?" Idou Shuichi asked in shock.

"."Kidama Kyon was silent, "Shuichi-san, I came here with you~"

".Kijima-kun. Remember to wear your gold watch next time."

After a brief silence, the topic returned to filming. Naoki Nagayama and others said:
“Remember that time we did Paranormal Activity?”

"Of course. That was the first movie."

"It's because of the crude filming and the slightly blurry shots that people feel it's real." Naoyama Naoki pointed at the noisy crew below, who seemed to be playing a game of eagle catching chickens. "Now the cameras in their hands and the second shot they arranged make people feel that this is a novice shooting a real low-quality movie."

"The various difficulties they encountered and the ways they solved them are what the audience wants to understand, which is the drama within the drama~"

"So that's how it is." Ito Shu nodded slightly, somewhat understanding, "This is why Naoki-san tried to minimize his involvement!"

"Yeah, that's it~"

Naoki Nagayama said confidently,
“This is all carefully planned!”

Idou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama's sincere face and murmured, "I don't know why, but my heart tells me that Naoki-san is being lazy."

".That's an illusion!"

He started laughing on the hill, then watched the crew below being interrupted by another mistake. Naoki Nagayama then walked up and began to understand the problems in the filming process and prepared to solve them.

"Kijima-kun" Idou Shuichi was watching this scene from the outside, feeling very puzzled, "Do you think Naoki-san can really make an interesting movie this time?"

The crew below looks like a mob. Don’t let the movie be shown for half an hour before everyone in the theater leaves.

"Naoki-san must have his reasons for doing this!" Kimura had great trust in Naoyama Naoki. "Besides, we've read the movie script before. It's very interesting!"

".I hope this isn't Naoki-san's Waterloo~"

During the lunch break, Naoki Nagayama, Shuichi Ido, and Kyon Kido found a restaurant in Ota Ward to have lunch.

During the chat, we talked about the current work progress~
"'Love Century' has also come to an end." Kimura Kyon said, "Naoki-san, is the male lead really going to be late for the last episode?"

"what happened?"

"You're late at such an important moment. I always feel a little unstable. Don't you really love each other?"

"Because he's a playboy," Naoki Nagayama said, "People who are born to be playboys always have some worries and fears about settling down. This is an unknown for them."

Idou Shuichi looked at Naoki Nagayama's explanation and could not help but nodded, and said to Kijima Kyon:
"Naoki-san is right. This is definitely based on experience! I believe he is absolutely right!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. What are you hinting at, Xiuyi-san?!

In the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama did not stay on the set. Since they still needed to continue rehearsing, he rushed back to downtown Tokyo.

Ginza's commercial streets are still prosperous, with a wide variety of domestic and foreign goods. Naoki Nagayama is walking around the men's products area.
"To give face to middle-aged men."

He glanced at a small blue pill and shook his head decisively. It was too much to give this as a gift. Besides, this could not be shown off to others.

As he walked further, Naoki Nagayama saw various tonic medicines. Traditional Chinese medicines such as ginseng, wolfberry, angelica and Panax notoginseng are still very popular in Neon.

"It seems that Akina's father is not bald either."

After looking around, Naoki Nagayama bought some expensive medicinal liquor so that he could save face when drinking with his friends.
Then he changed his mind and felt that it was not safe, so he went to the clothing area and bought a brand name belt. In the Showa era when suits were popular, this was a very suitable gift for men.

After coming out of the shopping street, Naoki Nagayama went to Shuyou Capital in Ginza.

"Naoki-san, you're here!" Kanai Tsukaka welcomed him warmly, "I haven't been here for a long time~"

"Haha, I happen to be free today~"

Indeed, Naoki Nagayama has not come to Shuyou Capital since the monster stock trading ended. He came here today, on the one hand because it was on his way, and on the other hand he wanted to see how the funds were prepared.

"Naoki-san?" Nakai Yuanta, who was in the office, was very surprised when he saw Nagayama Naoki, "Why are you here today?"

"I went to buy some things." Naoki Nagayama handed over the medicinal wine in his hand. He would not just buy a little when he went shopping. "This is for you~"

"Oh? Ginseng wine?" Nakai Yuanta was a little surprised. "I'm not old enough to take nourishing medicine yet!"

"To maintain good health, you have to start from a young age!" Naoki Nagayama smiled. You know, there will be countless young people in their thirties who are full of diseases in the future. "You have been drinking wine every day in the past few years, and you have been drained. It will be good for your health to have a small drink with dinner~"

".When did I start drinking wine every day?!"

Nakai Yuantai said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, not every day, once every other day, right?"

Naoki Nagayama was disdainful. It was not a saying that men would become bad when they had money. He had the fortitude to last two lifetimes. But others, even Yoshimura Otomo who was already in the second half of his life, were still staying up all night in the club every now and then? !
When asked, he said that social events and dinners were all work-related, and his wife at home turned a blind eye. As long as the household expenses were not reduced, that was fine.
Having said that, Nakai Yuanta didn't say much. Anyway, it's a good thing. It's okay to replenish it when you are at home~
After laughing and joking for a while, Nakai Yuta asked:
"Naoki-san, are you here today just to give me a gift?"

"Of course not only that." Naoki Nagayama also became serious. "It's April now. I came to ask how the funds are prepared?"

"At present," said Nakai Yuta, "most of the funds have been transferred to offshore accounts. At present, our domestic stock trading account is only doing some small transactions, and the funds can be collected at any time."

“Well, have the NFA (National Futures Association)-regulated trading platforms also been dealt with?”

"Hi, the contract has been signed and the transaction can be carried out at any time"

The foreign exchange market is not yet sound these days, and NFA has only been in operation for less than two years, so there are not many qualified trading platforms.
With the size of Shuyou Capital, if you want to trade foreign exchange, it is safer to invest in the New York foreign exchange market in the United States.
Listening to Nakai Yuta explaining the current progress, Nagayama Naoki didn't have much to say. The actual operations were what investment professionals like them were good at.

"In short, go long on the appreciation of the Japanese yen, and then convert it into US dollars when it is almost appreciated, and buy high-quality US assets." Naoki Nagayama said. Although he knew that the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Japanese yen would reach a maximum of 1:120 after the Plaza Accord, he didn't know the exact time. The operation in the middle depended on Jing Yuanta. Anyway, he just had to withdraw before the bubble burst in 90.

"Hey, I understand!"

Nakai Yuta was completely convinced of Naoyama Naoki, and then asked again,

"Naoki-san, what assets do we prefer when we buy?"

"Of course it's real estate." The first thing that came to Naoki Nagayama's mind was buying a house, but then he thought, "Wait. Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Apple. The stocks of these companies are not expensive, right?"

"Well, the first few are all OK, but Apple..." Nakai Yuanta is very interested in technology companies because of Nagayama Naoki. He often inquires about news even in the United States.
"Apple's current market is not very good. IBM is taking over the market share of personal computers," said Nakai Yuta. "And I heard that the internal struggle is also very fierce. The rumors of the discord between Chairman Steve Jobs and the board of directors have spread outside."

"Oh?"

Naoki Nagayama instantly thought that this was the time when Jobs was kicked out of Apple, and the next few years would be the most depressed period for Apple.
"When the fight gets intense, we'll start buying Apple stock!"

"Um, Naoki-san, are you sure?" Nakai Yuta was a little uncertain. "Apple seems to be unable to keep up with the times. There are too many technology companies competing with it! It might collapse!"

"It doesn't matter. I think Apple has the potential to make a comeback. Small acquisitions will do. It just needs to last for a long time."

Naoki Nagayama thought about it and thought that maybe when Jobs took over again, Shuyou Capital could become one of Apple's major shareholders.
Let Steve Jobs work for me?

Haha, I feel like I have avenged myself for buying an Apple phone and eating instant noodles for a month!

Although Nakai Yuanta had some doubts, he still followed Naoki Nagayama's idea. After all, facts have proved that there is really meat to eat by following Naoki Nagayama!
I stayed in Ginza for quite a long time. Besides catching up with the past, I also communicated with the employees of the company. Otherwise, after not seeing them for such a long time, I would have thought that the bosses of the company were all gone.

After returning to the Takanawa 80 Building, Naoki Nagayama walked towards the main entrance carrying the gifts he bought today.

"Naoki-san? Do you need help?" Security guard Kazushi Matsuzaki asked hurriedly when he saw Naoki Nagayama's hands full of things.

"Stupid tape, I can carry it~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "Ms. Matsuzaki, you haven't seen any paparazzi around recently, have you?"

“Hey, there are fewer and fewer now.”

Kazushi Matsuzaki hurriedly reported. He knew why the paparazzi disappeared. Although Naoki Nagayama did not say that the previous Yakuza had anything to do with him, Kazushi Matsuzaki was sure that Naoki Nagayama must have done something.

The day before yesterday, when Naoki Nagayama just came home, he talked to him about a paparazzi van outside. Within an hour, several tattooed strong men came and beat up the paparazzi.
The speed was so fast that even the police had to come over to sweep the ground and take away the injured paparazzi lying on the road~ Those people seemed to be getting more and more ruthless~
"That's good. These paparazzi are really ungrateful. They already know that there are gangsters living nearby, but they still come to harass us."

"Yeah, yeah, that's really ignorant!" Matsuzaki Kazushi echoed, "Speaking of which, we should really thank that big guy!"

"Haha, that shouldn't be necessary. They keep it a secret because they don't want anyone to know!"

"No, you have to thank me!" Matsuzaki Isshi said sincerely, "Thank you in your heart!"

".Okay~"

After chatting with Kazushi Matsuzaki for a while, Naoki Nagayama took the elevator to the top floor. After opening the door with the key, he saw a dog waiting at the entrance, wagging its tail enthusiastically!
"Hina! I'm back!"

"Woof woof!" The dog's eyes were fixed on what was in Naoki Nagayama's hand. He smelled food.

"These are not for you to eat!"

Naoki Nagayama walked into the living room while talking, and then he heard Akina Nakamori's voice.

"Naoki-san, you're back?!"

"Hi~" Naoki Nagayama laughed as he saw Akina coming out of the bedroom in her home clothes, "I've bought the gift for tomorrow~"
