Chapters 1439 and 1448, The Private Marseille, You Continue
Muneo Matsuo is back, bringing with him the final piece of the puzzle for "Black Monday".
"Hong Kong's camera focused on the last moments before the stock market crash!"
Naoki Nagayama spoke to Tomoyuki Nishimoto and Muneo Matsuo in the editing room,
"This perfectly reflects the calm before the stock market crash and the optimistic sentiment in the Hong Kong stock market!"
"We don't need to make too many changes to the rest. Nishimoto-kun edited it very well before, so let's just prepare for the test screening!"
Nishimoto Banyuki nodded:
"The preview screening will be at the end of the month, so there's absolutely no problem with the timing!"
"Yeah, I'll work overtime these next few days!"
Naoki Nagayama patted Tomoyuki Nishimoto on the shoulder, then looked at Muneo Matsuo beside him and said with a smile,
"Perfect timing! Matsuo-kun is back too, so we have even more manpower now!"
"Hi!" X2
After directing the editing of "Black Monday," Naoki Nagayama left the editing room, leaving the space to Tomoyuki Nishimoto and Muneo Matsuo.
Then, the atmosphere became tense.
"Ahem. Nishimoto"
As Naoki Nagayama was leaving, Muneo Matsuo suddenly grabbed Tomoyuki Nishimoto by the neck.
"You bastard, you actually raided my base when I wasn't looking?!"
It's worth noting that this movie was originally directed by Muneo Matsuo as assistant director, and he should have been in charge of editing as well!
"Uh-huh."
Nishimoto Tomoyuki immediately elbowed Matsuo Muneo, forcing him to release his grip.
"Hehehe, this is called taking advantage of a weakness!!"
Matsuo-kun, there are only so many opportunities in this world. If you can't seize them, of course someone else will help you!
Just like a lonely wife whose husband is away on a business trip!
"How can they talk about cheating so brazenly?! How shameless!"
Hearing this shameless sophistry, Matsuo Muneo's movements became even more forceful.
"You bastard! I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki crossed his arms and braced them against Matsuo Muneo's arm:
"Hehehe, Matsuo, don't underestimate me! I've been working out all the time!"
Matsuo Muneaki's face flushed red as he leaned onto Nishimoto Tomoyuki's shoulder, about to give him a loving, deadly hug. Nishimoto Tomoyuki nimbly dodged, trying to escape Matsuo Muneaki's attack range, but was blocked by the chair.
The two of them were going back and forth, and they almost bumped into the footage on the editing table!
However, everyone else in the editing room just watched with a detached, amused attitude.
What's the relationship between Matsuo Muneo and Nishimoto Tomonyuki? They were comrades-in-arms who went undercover on a cruise ship together to find inspiration while filming "Ginza no Tora" (The Tiger of Ginza), and almost got their sores violated by a big guy!
Both are core members of the third generation of directors at Shuyou, and they are also very good friends in private. This playful banter is just them joking around.
However, when Matsuo Muneo hugged Nishimoto Tomoyuki from behind and pressed him against the editing table, the joke became a little strange, leaving the onlookers hesitant to speak.
Sensing something was amiss, Nishimoto Tomoyuki was the first to shout:
"Matsuo Muneo, you bastard, let me go right now!"
"Hehehe, Nishimoto, scared now? You're not getting away today!"
Matsuo Muneo, engrossed in his playful antics, remained oblivious, instead panting and laughing mockingly.
"Take this hit and enjoy it!!"
Just then, the door to the editing room suddenly opened, and Naoki Nagayama, who had been gone, suddenly returned!
"Forehead"
Naoki Nagayama was stunned by the strange scene in the editing room. He was momentarily taken aback!
However, fortunately, having experienced the information age, Naoki Nagayama has a strong mental fortitude:
"Ahem. Well..."
"I'm here to inform you to come to my office later so I can show you a video of the Hong Kong building."
"Hey, you two, continue. Matsuo-kun will come up in a bit!"
With a click, the door to the editing room closed again, and silence fell over the room.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Matsuo Muneaki released Nishimoto Tomoyuki as if he had been electrocuted, then slapped his coat hard.
"Noah, the clothes are all wrinkled! It's a trendy brand I bought in Hong Kong!"
"You idiot, if you're going to edit 'Black Monday,' then do it properly. Don't ruin all the hard work I put into filming it!"
"Ahem, can't you see the editing effects? We'll both be credited together!"
Nishimoto Tomoyuki also stood up, straightened his clothes, and fiddled with the unfinished products on the editing table.
"What Naoki-san was talking about just now, was it the video of the Hong Kong building that you filmed, right?"
"Um"
"Then you go first!"
"it is good"
When Matsuo Muneo walked out of the editing room, he suddenly shivered. What was with this feeling of an old married couple?!
No, it must be because I was too focused on work during this business trip that I've developed some psychological issues!
I'm definitely going to Roppongi to find a girl after get off work today to soothe my lonely heart!
With this thought in mind, Matsuo Muneo went to Nagayama Naoki's office on the top floor.
Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura, and Genta Nakai of Shuyu Capital were already seated in the office. The projector was also ready.
"what"
Naoki Nagayama smiled when he saw Muneo Matsuo arrive.
"Matsuo-kun's here just in time, we can begin!"
"He filmed all the videos; we can listen to his explanations."
Facing these bigwigs, Matsuo Muneo naturally had no objections. He explained the specifics of the Hong Kong Building while showing the film, and also included Takeda Tomoaki's analysis of the building.
The purchase of a building in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, was planned long ago and was made at the end of last year. Now the formalities are basically completed!
Naoki Nagayama looked at the screen and was quite satisfied with the building that offered a direct view of the harbor.
"Haha, I didn't even buy a skyscraper in Ginza, but I didn't expect to buy one in Hong Kong first!"
When Nakai Genta heard this, he laughed. He said that with the strength of Shuyou Capital, it was indeed possible to buy a building in Ginza, which represented the company's prestige.
However, their own staff only need about one floor, so they have been leasing it out.
"Naoki-san, what are you planning to use this building for?"
Nakai Genta was somewhat surprised.
"Simply investing?"
Naoki Nagayama said:
"No, this building will become the center of Shuyou Asian affairs in the future."
He knew perfectly well that Japan would enter its "disappearing thirty years" in a few years, and at that time, the Tree Friends in Japan would at most maintain their current scale.
In a few years, after Hong Kong's return to China, it will become a window between the mainland and the world, and the brightest pearl in Asia.
Naoki Nagayama has already established a presence in the United States, so his expansion into Asia will begin in Hong Kong!
"Asian things?"
Yoshimura Otomo asked, puzzled.
"We don't seem to have much business in Asia these days."
"It will happen in the future!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Genta Nakai.
"Yuan Tai-san, didn't you say you were going to invest in mainland China? We'll invest through our Hong Kong branch."
"Ah-hai!"
Nakai Genta nodded. It looks like the shell company he set up when he was in charge is about to be officially recognized!
"The staff for the Asian branch needs to be planned gradually."
Naoki Nagayama looked at Otomo Yoshimura and Genta Nakai.
"The entertainment and financial industries over there need to make plans in advance, with a target of more than ten years from now. That's why we brought Otomo-san and Wonta-san together for this meeting."
"."
The two veterans of the Shuyu Group listened to Naoki Nagayama's plan and nodded silently.
This is a plan that will last for more than ten years. Naoki-san really has a long-term vision!
No wonder the Nagayama family became the youngest zaibatsu!
Upon returning to Yamasakura-in, the first sound that greeted Naoki Nagayama was the crying of his son.
"Wow~ Wow~"
Even though there are four women in the house, all of whom have experience in childbirth and raising children, the little one will still cry when he needs to, and sometimes it's impossible to soothe him no matter what you do!
Upon entering the entrance hall, Nagayama Naoki saw Akina holding Nagayama Ren and rocking him gently, patting his back from time to time. Nakamori Chieko and her mother Nanako were singing nearby, Nonaka Mari was washing baby bottles and nipples in the kitchen, and even Eitaro was wagging his tail around these people.
In short, it seems the whole family's focus is on the baby.
His eyes darted around and he spotted Xia Hua frowning beside the sofa, so he went over and squatted down next to her.
"Hua Jiang, what's wrong?"
"I don't know," Xia Hua said, her speech now much more organized. "My little brother suddenly cried, very loudly."
"Well, maybe my brother suddenly felt unwell somewhere."
Naoki Nagayama picked up the little one.
"He can't speak, so all he can do is cry."
"."
The little guy nodded, seemingly understanding a bit. However, his eyebrows were still furrowed, and his little face showed a frustrated expression!
"It's so noisy. I cried several times today!"
A child's crying can be really annoying sometimes. Xia Hua seemed genuinely bothered by the crying. Of course, it's also possible that she felt uncomfortable seeing everyone else paying attention to her younger brother.
There's nothing we can do about it. He'll get better when he grows up.
Naoki Nagayama then pulled her into his arms and covered her ears with his hands.
"Will this stop the noise?!"
Xia Hua felt two warm hands cover her cheeks, as if her entire face was being covered, instantly filtering out the noise from the outside world.
Her mood improved considerably, and she relaxed in her father's arms, though her eyes were still fixed on Akina.
At such a young age, she doesn't really understand the concept of favoritism. She was just a little bewildered and a little jealous that everyone was suddenly paying attention to her younger brother. But now, all her unhappiness has disappeared!
After calming his daughter down, Naoki Nagayama then asked Nonaka Mari, who had just walked over:
"Morisang, what's wrong with Ren?"
"The blister on my lip popped and chafed the skin."
Nonaka Mari said very calmly.
"She drank the milk too forcefully."
"Ah, I see."
Naoki Nagayama nodded. Newborns have very delicate lip skin, but they are fed several times a day and suckle very hard, so it's easy for blisters to form from the friction. It usually gets better as they get older.
I've been through something like this too; I definitely cried when the blisters burst.
He easily freed one hand, then looked down at Hua Jiang and said:
"Little brother's fine, he's burned his mouth! He'll be done soon."
The little one doesn't quite understand things like chapped lips yet, but after trying to eat hot food, he can understand it now.
Xia Hua nodded after hearing this, no longer worried about the situation there.
At this moment, Akina and the others finally realized that Naoki Nagayama had returned:
"Naoki-san, you're back!"
"Um"
Naoki Nagayama nodded.
"How's Lianjiang doing?"
"If I keep crying, the sore area around my mouth will keep hurting."
After Akina answered, she saw Naoki Nagayama still holding Natsuka not far away, and said helplessly,
"Why does it feel like Naoki-san doesn't care about Ren-chan at all?!"
There are three people on your side now.
Naoki Nagayama shrugged and rubbed his chin against Hana-chan's head.
"That's why I'm here to keep Hana-chan company."
To be honest, Naoki Nagayama does favor his daughter a bit; so what if he's a doting father?
"."
Chieko Nakamori and her mother, Nanako, shook their heads helplessly at the sight. The older generation still prefers boys.
After coaxing her for a long time, little Ren Nagayama finally cried herself out and gradually stopped.
At this moment, Naoki Nagayama and Natsuka finally leaned over for a look. They saw teardrops still clinging to the baby's face, and patches of white, chafed skin around his mouth, blistered from being rubbed raw. It made them want to peel back the skin.
"so much"
"Hua Jiang, your mouth looked like this when you were little too~"
Naoki Nagayama said to Natsuka,
"It'll be fine in a few days!"
"Oh," Natsuka looked at Akina, "Won't your little brother cry?"
"Well"
Akina was helpless.
"I might cry again tonight."
The newborn baby was crying loudly. Fortunately, at the Nagayama family's house, there were four people who could take turns caring for the baby. Otherwise, Akina would definitely not be having such an easy time right now.
Chieko Nakamori took the baby, letting Akina and Naoki Nagayama go eat, but then suddenly remembered something:
"Lianjiang will be one month old in a few days! What are the plans for the full moon celebration?"
"Shall we stay at home?"
Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama, her eyes asking a question.
Naoki Nagayama glanced at the little guy and said to Akina and Chieko:
"I guess we can't hold the ceremony at home this time, since he's the eldest son and many people want to see him."
Unlike Xia Hua, as the heir of the Yongshan family, the full moon celebration is no longer a separate family banquet, but a grand and special event!
"This event is expected to be held at a large hotel."
He looked at Akina.
"We'll have a lot of people asking."
Then he looked at his mother, Nanako:
"Mother, let's invite Father and my eldest brother's family over too. It's been a long time since our family has been together."
"Akina, I'll hire a professional company to plan the full moon celebration this time. You just need to check the final results!"
Akina nodded in agreement. Although she hoped for a harmonious family dinner, which would be more relaxed, as the matriarch of the Nagayama family, she had also witnessed quite a bit of life in high society.
This kind of full moon celebration for the heir carries a high social significance, and it also represents the outside world's acknowledgment of the eldest son of the Nagayama family.
"Hey, I understand!"
After dinner, Naoki Nagayama left the two children with his mother-in-law and mother, and then he and Akina got together.
"We need to discuss the invitations for the full moon celebration."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"To show our sincerity, we might have to write it by hand."
"Mmm." Akina nodded. "Besides the people from our existing tree-loving circle, who else do we need to invite?"
"We definitely need to include the elders."
"Friends in the entertainment industry, and also in the finance industry."
"."
The two whispered for a long time, considering all aspects, and then Naoki Nagayama suddenly paused:
"Do you think I should send an invitation to the Prime Minister?"
"Prime Minister Doi?"
Akina said in surprise,
Is she coming back?
"Perhaps."
Naoki Nagayama thought of Shuichi Itō's ongoing "demonstration zone" project, and also of the congratulations she had asked someone to give her last time.
Doi Tagako seems to have the idea of getting closer to Itsuki.
"Regardless of what she thinks, the invitation can be sent. If she doesn't come, a gift will suffice; it's fine too."
"Ok!"
