Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 895 904, Organize a Fireworks Festival by Yourself? !

As the night deepened, the number of customers in the pub gradually decreased.
After nine o'clock, only Naoki Nagayama and a group of people from the work group were left, as well as a few regular customers who ordered a glass of beer but couldn't finish it and kept glancing at him.
There aren't many good entertainment activities at night these days except watching TV. I happened to hear a few days ago that they were going to come and film a program, so why not stay and have some fun?
The eldest brother Aoki asked a few questions symbolically, and then came to the side of Naoki Naoyama:

"Naoki, these guests are all curious about how to take pictures. Is it okay for them to stay?"

"Haha, no problem. But we won't start filming right away today." Naoyama Naoki said with a smile, "We haven't even invited the guest actors yet. Today the crew is mainly here to check out the location and the camera position."

"That's it"

Nagayama Aoki nodded and didn't mention asking people to leave. Anyway, they could just go and take a look if they wanted to.

As they were talking, the person who had been sent to the hotel to get the equipment came back, and Naoki Nagayama and the people who stayed behind went out and started to bring the things in.

Cameras, cranes, lighting, reflectors, microphones... a host of inexplicable equipment were taken out of the box, and then the crew members began to get busy.

After it was set up, I asked my brother to try to light a fire on the stove to see if it would affect the filming.

Naoki Nagayama took the script and walked over to his eldest brother and father:

"The filming will start tomorrow. Are Big Brother and Father familiar with the script I sent back earlier?"

"Of course, I will watch it every night when I go home!" Nagayama Aoki vowed, and his father Nagayama Ken also nodded calmly.

"That's good. What about the new dishes?"

"No problem, we can do most of them! There are also a few new ones, which are not difficult!"

"That's about it, there won't be any problem~"

Having said that, Naoki Nagayama continued to check the crew's camera setup. After almost all the experiments were completed, Naoki Nagayama asked everyone to put away the equipment and start the formal shooting tomorrow.

After all this trouble, it was almost ten o'clock. After the crew left, the Nagayama family's izakaya was also closed, and Nagayama Naoki went home with his father and eldest brother.

Since the family often had to buy food and transport it, they had a mini truck. It was similar to a three-wheeled motorcycle. His father, Ken Nagayama, drove the truck, while his older brothers Aoki and Naoki Nagayama sat in the cargo box.

"Come to think of it, Naoki, when you didn't go to Tokyo, we often rode in the truck together!" Aoki, the eldest brother, looked at the starry sky and suddenly sighed, "At that time, I hadn't married yet, and there was no Weed. Tsuruko hadn't gone to college yet!"

“Time sometimes goes by so fast~”

Naoki Nagayama nodded. In a blink of an eye, he has been in Showa for more than five years.
In the night breeze, the two brothers chatted casually.

"Come to think of it, our family has an apartment in Tokyo. How is it going now?"

"It's rented out now, isn't it? The house price has almost doubled!" Naoyama Naoki said, "Next year, I can mortgage the apartment and use the loan money to buy another one."

"You still want to buy?" The eldest brother Aoki was surprised. "The house price will continue to rise?"

"Yes, it will increase a lot!" Naoki Nagayama said, "especially at the end of this year."

He glanced at his eldest brother and did not hide anything: "This year, Japan and the United States will probably come up with a policy, and the yen will soar. If my eldest brother and father knew about foreign exchange speculation, they would probably make a lot of money."

"Foreign exchange?!" The eldest brother Aoki was a poor student who didn't even graduate from high school, so naturally he didn't know much about it.

My father is an honest man who has only known how to make money honestly all his life. He remained silent when he heard this.

"It's the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar. It's a dynamic one, but according to the policy direction, the U.S. dollar should depreciate and the Japanese yen should appreciate."

Naoki Nagayama explained for a while, but when he saw his elder brother's confused face, he stopped talking.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand these." Naoki Nagayama patted his eldest brother on the shoulder, "Then do as I just said, mortgage the apartment in Tokyo, and then add the money from this appearance fee to buy another one. When the price rises to a certain level, mortgage it again and buy another one."

If this cycle continues, in the next five years, my eldest brother's family should own more than five properties in Tokyo. If they are all sold before 90, their net worth will be at least over million!
From an izakaya owner to a wealthy man with a net worth of over 100 million in five years, this class leap is already huge, at least more than most people in Japan.

This is a steady way to earn money, there is no other risk, and no professional knowledge is required.

It’s too profitable, big brother can’t control it!!!

After returning to his hometown, Naoki Nagayama was surprised to find that his sister-in-law Xiangjia was in the living room with his nephew Yecao.

Nanako, the mother, was opening the gift and discussing it with her and her daughter.
"Xiangjia? Why are you here?" The eldest brother Aoki was even more surprised. After entering the door, he first picked up the wild grass that ran over, and then asked.

"I heard from my mother that Naoki is back and brought gifts, so I brought wild grass here after dinner. I thought you would definitely come here first in the evening, so it's a good opportunity for us to go back together."

Nagayama Kaori packed the gifts and smiled at Naoki Nagayama to thank him:

"Thank you Naoki for the gift, I like it very much. Yecao likes it too! Yecao-chan, thank Uncle Naoki quickly."

"Arigato, Uncle Naoki" Xiaoyecao can now speak fluently. He is holding the electric car he brought back from the United States in his hand and is reluctant to put it down.

"Haha, the weeds are so well behaved!"

Naoki Nagayama patted the head of the wild grass, which was furry and felt as good as that of Yingtaro. He subconsciously reached his hand to the neck of the wild grass and scratched his chin.
But at this moment, Yingtaro happened to run over and started barking.
"Ahem!" Before his sister-in-law noticed, Naoki Nagayama changed his target without leaving a trace and started petting the dog. "By the way, mother, is Nyanko Taro back?"

"Well, it's in the cat's bed. After dinner, we go to bed." Mother Nanako said, pointing to the cat's bed in the corner.

Naoki Nagayama walked over to take a look and found that Nyanko Taro had not gained weight, but seemed to have become stronger.
"Nyanotaro, did you miss me?"

The hand that Naoki Nagayama stretched out was pushed back by Nyanotaro with his hind legs. His slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be filled with disgust and he had a fierce feeling. He changed from a big orange boy to a sad tiger!
Regardless of the closeness between Naoki Nagayama and the furry child, the elder brother and sister-in-law in the living room started talking to the father and mother and sharing gifts. When Naoki Nagayama went in again, the old house became lively again after a long absence.
"If only Tsuruko were missing, then everyone would be here~" Nanako sighed, "She should be doing well in Tokyo now."

"That's great~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Before I came here, Tsuruko told me that she and her boyfriend were going to Kyoto to watch the fireworks! She also wanted to borrow my vacation home in Kyoto to stay."

"Oh? You're traveling?" Aoki, the eldest brother, was very envious. "It's so relaxing. Is college life so wonderful?"

"It's your fault that you couldn't concentrate on your studies back then!" Mother Nanako patted her eldest son.

"Naoki can't learn either?!" Nagayama Aoki felt aggrieved.

"He was obsessed with his idol at that time and didn't want to learn." Nanako, the mother, would not spoil her eldest son, "You are stupid!!"

"."

The eldest brother Aoki looked at Naoki Nagayama with pitiful eyes.

Naoki Nagayama could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and instead played with the electric car with the weeds.
In the following time, Naoki Nagayama drank tea while stroking Yingtaro who was lying next to him; his mother was chattering while his father was fiddling with the tea set and listening silently; and his eldest brother occasionally talked to his eldest sister-in-law Xiangjia, and then came to play with the weeds who were having a lot of fun.
The intimate and ordinary interaction between them made Naoki Nagayama daydream. When he and Akina get married in the future, maybe they will be as intimate as this~
It was not until about eleven o'clock, when the weeds were sleepy, that my eldest brother and sister-in-law said goodbye and returned to their new house, and the old house finally became quiet.

After taking a bath, Naoki Nagayama lay on the tatami mat with his eyes closed, enjoying the memory of the bedroom where he had slept since he was a child.

The electric fan shook its head, blowing out a cool breeze, and I seemed to be able to hear the sound of the sea waves. In this reassuring atmosphere, sleepiness gradually came over me.
The morning in the small town begins with the crowing of the rooster.

Naoki Nagayama hasn't heard the sound of roosters in Tokyo for a long time, but there are still some families here who raise chickens.

Yingtaro was standing outside the door, eager to come in and find his master.
We had to close the door and keep him outside last night because the tatami mat was laid directly on the ground, and if the door was not closed, the dog would definitely sleep next to Naoki Nagayama.

Only those who have tried it know what it feels like to sleep next to a dog whose body temperature is higher than that of a human in the summer.
"Alright, alright, I'm up!"

Naoki Nagayama opened the partition door, patted the dog's head, and then went to wash up.

Breakfast was rice balls with sour plums, cold-mixed kelp and pickled cucumbers, but it was still a normal breakfast with an egg added to whet the appetite.

"Naoki, you won't come to the izakaya during the day, right?" his father asked while eating breakfast.

"Well, the production crew won't be here until tonight." Naoki Nagayama took a bite of a side dish and said slowly, "And I have some things to prepare in the morning."

"Will you come back for lunch?" asked mother Nanako.

"As for me, I should be back." Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment and seemed to think there would be no delay.

"Now that you are back, during this time," his father said to Naoki Nagayama after finishing his breakfast, "go see your grandfather when you are free."

“Ah, I should go.”

Naoki Nagayama didn't have a very close relationship with his grandfather. When he was in Tokyo, he only called him during the holidays.

But since I will be staying in Shizuoka for a while this time, I still have to pay a visit.

My grandfather was very happy when he heard that he had won the Palme d'Or.

"I'll go in the afternoon~" Naoki Nagayama finally said.

"Hmm~"

The father, Ken Nagayama, didn't say much, and drove his small truck to the izakaya. In the morning, he had to go to fetch the ingredients and process them. At noon, he had to start business. It was actually very hard to run an izakaya!

As for Naoki Nagayama, after finishing breakfast, he drove a convertible to the beach and found a boat docked at the pier.

"Naoki-san!"

Shigeyoshi Yamakawa, the sales manager of MURAYAMA Event Support Co., Ltd., saw Naoki Nagayama and quickly walked over to shake his hand.

"Minister Yamakawa!" Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, then looked at the anchored ship, "Is this the prepared ship?"

"Well, this is one of them. There are five more ships still being loaded in Tokyo."

Yamakawa Shigekō brought Naoki Nagayama onto the ship and said as they looked at the large and small cylindrical objects standing in the middle of the ship:

“This is the fireworks this time!”

"Is it reliable?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "How are the fireworks compared to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival?"

"Same grade!" Yamakawa Shigekō patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Naoki-san, the fireworks company is the same."

"But, this time we're at sea, won't it be a little different?"

Shanchuan Shigekō nodded: "The wind and waves are a bit strong, but it doesn't matter. The people who operate the fireworks are all recruited from experienced fireworks festivals and have operated fireworks boats before."

"There's also this one. We can see the effect today!"

“That puts my mind at ease.”

Naoki Nagayama continued to ask other questions:
"The water lanterns on the sea will be fine by then, right? They won't be overturned by the waves or gathered together, right?!"

"Absolutely no problem!" Shanchuan Shigekō patted his chest and assured, "In order to prevent it from capsizing due to the waves, we used glow sticks!"

"And just like the floats used for fishing, they are all strung together with a fishing net. Not only will they not clump together, but they will also form a suitable distance."

"When it's over, just put it away and extinguish it!"

"Those glow sticks can still be turned off?"

"They are disposable and can last for an hour! You can see the light even in the water."

Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction, inspected the fireworks on the ship, and then drove the ship into the bay to experiment with the fishing net-style water lanterns. Naoki Nagayama felt relieved.

"Then I'll leave it to Minister Yamakawa. I'll give you a signal when the time comes!"

"Hey, I won't miss it!"

Shigeko Yamakawa is very fawning on his important client Naoki Nagayama.

Not only because he is a big customer and can provide a lot of business, but also because Naoki Nagayama has a lot of novel ideas.
Not to mention the lotus lanterns and fireworks, just using airships to celebrate birthdays has made their company earn a lot of profit this year. How can other big customers do this? !

He regarded Naoki Nagayama as the God of Wealth!!!

Since it was summer, Naoki Nagayama naturally wanted to watch the fireworks display with Akina, but it happened to be Akina's national tour at this time, and he had to produce "Midnight Diner".
So I can only prepare in advance, and when Akina comes, I will hold a fireworks festival in Shizuoka by myself~
"Minister Yamakawa, if anyone asks, please keep it a secret!"

"Hey, I know!"
