Tokyo Bubble Life Chapter 570

 After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama sent Akina back to his apartment, and then went to the disco street in Takadanobaba.

 Honma Design Office called yesterday and said that the first draft of the design had been completed and asked Naoki Nagayama to take a look at it sometime.

 Yesterday was really busy, so I changed it to today, just in time to bring Brother Feng with me to gain some experience for his KTV in the future.

 As usual, I entered the disco through the back door. The cleaning staff arrived first in the morning and were doing further cleaning in an orderly manner in preparation for the opening in the afternoon.

 Naoki Nagayama, under the leadership of Shigeru Araki, found Kaede Nagayama who was diligently checking the sound and lighting systems.

 “Brother Feng, you are very serious!”

It's hard for such a big man to bend down and study the densely packed sockets.

Yong Shanfeng was very happy when he saw his cousin coming: "Naoki, why are you here today?"

“It's about KTV.” Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede came to the brighter hall, “The design office said that the first version of the design has been released.”

 “Huh? So fast~”

Yongshan Feng was even happier after hearing this, which means that the new nightclub is about to officially start!

“Well, Brother Feng should have nothing to do in the morning, right? Come and see with me?”

 “Okay! Of course I want to go!”

 Naoki Nagayama saw that Kaede Nagayama had agreed, and turned to Shigechi Araki, "Why don't you go, too, Shigechi-san? After all, you will be the one to manage the KTV in the future."

"Hi!"

Araki Shigetomo naturally did not refute, but communicated a few words with his confidant Mitsuo Kanazawa, and then drove to follow Naoki Nagayama's Toyota Century.

Hongshan Kaede sat in the passenger seat and suddenly looked at the majestic Toyota Century with envy: "Naoki, this car is expensive, right?"

"It's okay~" Nagayama Naoki replied vaguely, and then he seemed to realize something, "Brother Feng, do you want to buy a car?"

 “Well, that Mazda from the Sumo Hall is too old.”

Yongshanfeng looked out the car window at the disco street. Although it was still morning, the cars of some wealthy young men who had been partying all night last night were still here.

If it comes to night, there are countless luxury cars here, all of which makes Yongshan Feng, who is studying in the disco these days, extremely envious.

Nagayama Naoki was driving silently. With Brother Feng's assets, he probably still can't afford to buy his own Toyota Century. However, the Yamaguchi-gumi family in his hometown remitted 500 million in advance.

 Bah, you can't teach Brother Feng to embezzle public funds!

"Haha, Brother Kaede, if you want to buy it, you can go and consult first." Naoki Nagayama searched in the locker and found the contact information of Akihiro Hirayama, the sales manager of the Toyota store, "Sometimes you have to queue up for good cars. It's normal to not be able to wait for a car for half a year.”

 A model like the Toyota Century, which has many hand-made parts, is indeed very slow, while other luxury cars may be very fast.

“When Brother Feng's KTV opens in the second half of the year, you can buy it directly.”

In this era, nightclubs in Tokyo can be said to be cash cows. The monthly turnover of this disco in Takadanobaba is one car. Coupled with the size of the KTV planned by the Nagayama group, at most, a good car can be purchased by the end of the second half of the year. It must be affordable.

 “Hmm!” Yongshan Feng took the business card.

By the time they arrived at Honma Design Office, Takashi Honma, Naoya Sakata, and Shinkai Ishida were already waiting in the studio.

 Even though it was a first draft this time, they also made a prototype.

 “Naoki-san, you're here!” Takashi Honma greeted Naoki Nagayama enthusiastically, and then turned to look at the two people next to him.

“Well, Honmsan.” Naoki Nagayama introduced him at the right time, “This is Kaede Nagayama, my cousin, and the other one is Shigechi Araki, the future manager of KTV.”

 “This is the first time we meet. Please give us your advice!” XN

After a complicated meeting, the people on both sides finally got to know each other. Takashi Honma exchanged a few pleasantries, then directly pulled him into the middle of the studio, pointed to the model on the table and said:

“Zhi Shusang, we have made a first draft according to the opinions we communicated before. Please come and take a look.”

 Naoki Nagayama looked at the lifelike three-story building model on the table and couldn't help but praise the three people at Honma Design Office for their exquisite work.

The front half of the first floor retains the bar counter according to the original European bar style, but after renovation, the wine cabinet was enlarged, the seats were reduced, and the lobby was transformed into an open waiting area, with two Pachinko machines placed next to it. pastime

The small boxes separated inside are all the smallest boxes, the kind that can only accommodate three or five people.

Naoya Sakata held the design drawing in his hand and pointed at the model while explaining: "The walls of the box are made of sound insulation materials, the seats are made of leather, and the main colors are black and red. There is a karaoke position reserved here, and a karaoke table." ,Player."

 Nagayama Naoki, Nagayama Kaede and Araki Shigetomo were listening and watching at the same time, but only Nagayama Naoki was comparing it with the KTV in his mind, and the other two people just didn't realize it.

“There are fire escapes reserved here. The fire protection measures in the KTV are in accordance with the fire inspection standards, and several fire protection equipments have been added!”

Yongshan Feng nodded in agreement: "Yeah, safety is very important."

 The second and third floors are all equipped with private rooms. According to the structure of the building, there are medium private rooms for 5-10 people and large private rooms for 10-20 people.

“The whole place can accommodate nearly 500 people at the same time.” Naoya Sakata said.

  Naoki Nagayama has great confidence in the ability of Honma Design Office and is quite satisfied with the design style, but he still made some comments:

"Hommsan, do you still remember Samadhiju? Similarly, the two large boxes on the third floor and the small box next to them are combined into two extra large boxes, and two medium-sized boxes are reserved by the way. They are designed to be more luxurious, with crystal Chandeliers, marble tables, and gilt decorations. Used as a KTV for important guests."

 “Hey!” Honma Takashi nodded in agreement.

Next, Nagayama Naoki asked Nagayama Kaede and Araki Shigetomo to take a closer look at the design drawings and models, to learn more about the differences between KTV and other nightclubs, and to see if they could make some suggestions. After all, the two of them were going to open a store in the future. !

While Naoki Nagayama was drinking tea and taking a break, Shinkai Ishida, a new member of the office, came over shyly:

 “Zhishumulberry”

“Ah, Ishidsan, what's wrong?” Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"Arnold, didn't you give us the design of a Lake Toya holiday house before? I have already completed it!" Ishida Shinkai's voice was a little soft, but he still finished it seriously.

 “Oh it's done~”

Nagayama Naoki nodded, and then looked at Ishida Shinkai, who was standing there blankly. There was an awkward silence between the two of them for a while.

 After a few breaths, Naoki Nagayama spoke first:

“.So, Ishidsan, aren't you going to show me the design drawings?”

"Ah!!" Ishida Xinhai finally realized what he was doing. He quickly ran to the back room and took out the design drawings. His face turned red with embarrassment. "Private Marseille, this is the design drawing."

Naoki Nagayama took it over. The first thing he saw was the overall rendering. It was a wooden one-story holiday house, slightly raised from the ground to ensure moisture isolation. The atmosphere of the logs contained a modern three-bedroom apartment. Living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open kitchen.

 According to the previous requirements, there is a stone fireplace and a viewing balcony. Outside there is a beautiful view of Lake Toya, with lush green plants on the gentle slope.

“There is nothing wrong with the design of the house.” The Nordic style and minimalist configuration are quite satisfactory. “However, Ishidsan, I hope that the living room faces the direction of Lake Toya and uses a large area of ​​floor-to-ceiling glass for easy viewing.”

 “Hi!” Ishida Xinhai took a small notebook to record.

“Then, there are natural hot springs on Lake Toya, which I like very much.” Naoki Nagayama pointed to the plot of land next to it and said, “I remember there is a hot spring right here, so I hope to build an open-air hot spring next to it.”

"Eh? Open-air hot spring?" Ishida Xinhai was a little surprised. It is usually found in hot springs that occupy a large area. If it is built next to a holiday home, aren't you afraid of being seen? "Naoki-san, regarding privacy. Although it is relatively remote, there will still be neighbors walking around, right?"

“Ah, didn't Honmsan say anything?” Nagayama Naoki glanced at the little girl in front of him, “This gentle **** is all the land I bought!

Therefore, it will be surrounded by wooden fences or thorny bushes, and one side is a barren mountain, and the other side is a low valley. The valley past is the gathering area, so there are no neighbors near the holiday home. "

Naoki Nagayama continued: "If you don't use this kind of green plants on the gentle slopes around the holiday home, replace them with cosmos! I like to see the sea of ​​cosmos flowers."

 Ishida Xinhai was stunned for a while after hearing this. Only now did she realize that rich people can have such fun.

 After a few people left Honma Design Office, Shinkai Ishida asked about his teacher:

 “Hommsensei, Sakatsenpai.”

“Isn't Naoki Nagayama particularly rich?”

 Honma Takashi nodded: "Naoki-san should be considered a rich man."

Sakata Naoya was still young after all, and he praised: "What does it mean to be considered a rich person? He is obviously a rich man! Shinkai-chan, you haven't been to the courtyard project in Kyoto, right?"

“Huh? I originally wanted to go, but wasn't it delayed by this design task?”

"That courtyard with a height of 1,000 square meters (3,000 square meters) is Naoki Nagayama's private residence! It is very majestic and gorgeous." Naoya Sakata said, "In ancient times, Naoki-san would at least be considered a noble of the place. Bar."

 Honma Takashi rolled up the design draft and slapped Naoya Sakata on the head: "Sakata, don't talk about the client!"

　　Then he looked at Ishida Shinkai: "But as for Naoki-san, although he is somewhat different from the heirs of conglomerates, the descendants of politicians, and other descendants of the Chinese ethnic group, he is indeed considered a rich man and he is also a writer!"

“If Xinhai-chan can catch this golden turtle husband, it will be a very good result!”

Ishida Xinhai's face immediately turned red, and he said with embarrassment: “Who wants to catch a rich husband!!”

 Then he ran into the workshop.

 Sakata Naoya, who was left outside, shouted at her: "He's still a handsome guy!"

There was a crash, as if something had been knocked over.

 Having already come out, naturally you can't go back just after looking at the design drawings.

 Naoki Nagayama is going to go to the Tokyo liaison office of DAM, a brand of karaoke machine equipment, with two people. There are dozens of large karaoke machines, and there may be hundreds more in the future. This is not a small business.

The company that owns the DAM brand is called Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. and is headquartered in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.

I have made a call before. After arriving at the headquarters of First Xingshang this time, the lady at the front desk warmly received a few people, led them to the reception room, and made hot tea.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came in with a young assistant:

"First time we meet, I am the sales manager of Daiichi Xingshang, Ishibashi Yoshio." Ishibashi Yoshio first introduced himself, "Next to me is my assistant Takayama Yoshikazu."

“I am Naoki Nagayama who called before, and these two are Kaede Nagayama and Shigetomo Araki.” Naoki Nagayama shook hands with the other person according to the Western greeting method.

When everyone sat down again, Ishibashi Yoshio said with some sigh: "When I was notified of the appointment before, I thought it was a coincidence that he had the same name, but I didn't expect that it was really Mr. Naoki Nagayama!"

“Haha, have you heard of me, Ishibashi-san?” Nagayama Naoki has become somewhat accustomed to it, and he will definitely know a lot of people in the future.

"Yes, I have already watched "Love Letter" with my wife!" Ishibashi Yoshio subconsciously said it, and then coughed quickly, "Ahem, I'm rude~ I mentioned something strange."

 “Hahaha~”

Then he turned to Nagayama Kaede who was pretending to be on the other side: "Then this person is really Serizawa Tama Yu-san!"

“.” The corner of Yongshan Feng's mouth twitched. As expected, this is what happens when a character is more popular than a person. “My name is Yongshan Feng!”

“Ah, private Marseille, my son had your poster in his room, so it made a deep impression.”

Yoshio Ishibashi mentioned the reason again, which made Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh:

“Brother Feng, your poster has been posted in the room! Haha~”

“.” Yongshan Feng was speechless.

　　Although it was a bit strange to always talk about things at home, after a few words of conversation, the original unfamiliar atmosphere in the conference room disappeared and turned into a relaxed atmosphere.

Yoshio Ishibashi just started to get down to business.

"Yongshan-san, there are two of them." He looked at the two Yongshans across the street and said again, "Then please forgive me for being rude. Naoki-san, I called before and said that there are dozens of karaoke machines. Is this the machine business?"

“Well, my friends and I are planning to open a different nightclub and we need karaoke machines. About 30 machines”

 Naoki Nagayama said directly that he is not afraid of others copying the model. Once his karaoke is launched, it will still be imitated by other opponents.

“30 units?” Yoshio Ishibashi nodded. This is a big business. “Do you have any requirements for the model of karaoke machine?”

 “That's exactly what I came here for today.”

 As for the karaoke machines of this era, Naoki Nagayama still doesn't know how far they have developed.

“That's it, then, let Ryowkun introduce our products to Naoki-san first.”

“Hi!” Takayama Yoshikazu took out the product manual and began to introduce, “Our latest product is this model.”

  Cumbersome, huge, and complicated to operate. This was Naoki Nagayama's first thought after listening to it. The current karaoke machines are too different from what he had in his mind.

However, fortunately, the model that can be connected to the TV has been released, otherwise it would really be impossible to play!

"Ishibashi-san" Naoki Nagayama said after the introduction, "We need to confirm this karaoke machine on site."

 “Of course there's no problem!”

  This is the headquarters of Karaoke Machine, and of course there is a place to experience the product. Yoshio Ishibashi immediately took the three people to a small room with all kinds of speakers.

 Takayama Ryoka skillfully adjusted the karaoke machine, then took out a video tape and put it in.

 Happy sounds jumped out of the speakers, but the TV screen showed the singer singing live.

""Sorrowful Waves Stop."" Nagayama Naoki accurately said this song. Seeing the scene of Misora ​​Hibari singing, a worry came to his mind, "Yes. Copyright is needed."

 Not only does the song need copyright, but the video of the singer himself also needs copyright.

Yoshio Ishibashi nodded: "Naoki-san is indeed very knowledgeable about singers. Young people generally rarely listen to enka~"

“No matter what, I can still listen to Misora ​​Hibari's song.” Naoki Nagayama said casually, “Ishibashi-san, let's give it a try!”

 “Of course!” Yoshio Ishibashi handed over the microphone.

Then Naoki Nagayama pushed Shigetomo Araki forward. He is a nightclub manager, how can he do it if he can't sing? !

 There was no problem with the sound, and there was also a problem with the synchronization of the picture and music. There were also some minor issues, and the three of us tested them carefully.

 Half an hour later, we returned to the conference room again.

Nagayama Naoki said directly: "Ishibashi-san, this is the model. Let's reserve 30 units first."

“Hey, reserve 30 units first, and we will install them at your doorstep and provide teaching services!” Yoshio Ishibashi laughed heartily. This time, the customer was so happy that he didn't even pay back the price! He was in a good mood and was going to give some benefits:

“As an account manager, I will also give you a discount on the cost of peripheral products. You can get a 20% discount on microphones!”

Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Ishibashi-san is so stingy. Do you only discount microphones?"

 “This” Ishibashi Yoshio finally realized, was he blocking me here? "Naoki-san, we really have no choice. The discounts on the surrounding areas are already huge!"

“Hey Ishibashi-san, it's hard for me to do this.” Nagayama Naoki said, “With such a discount, I can't let Brother Feng continue to order karaoke machines from you.”

"?Mr. Nagayama Kaede?" Yoshio Ishibashi looked at the burly man next to him.

Yongshan Feng smiled: "Yes, Naoki only has one nightclub. I will open more than a dozen in the future."

Yoshio Ishibashi was surprised, this was no ordinary business! This is an important achievement of their department this year!

Just when Ishibashi Yoshio wanted to get close to Nagayama Kaedao, Araki Shigetomo, who had the least presence, was caught between the two:

“Ishibashi-san, why don't you talk to me about this current business first. As for Yongshan Feng, let's wait until we have settled the matter.”

Araki Shigetomo has a shrewd smile on his face, just like the boss Yoshio Ishibashi saw during his previous promotions. In short, it's hard to fool him!

  It turns out that you are the real gatekeeper boss!

In the end, the karaoke machine was sold to Naoki Nagayama at a 20% discount for 400,000 yen per unit. Later, for Nagayama Kaede, Yoshio Ishibashi promised to give the lowest 25% discount and some peripherals. The product

On the way back, Yongshanfeng found that his cousin was a little serious.

“Naoki, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with that karaoke bar?”

"No, it's another thing." Naoki Nagayama replied, "Currently, if the records are to be simultaneously displayed on TV, they are usually concerts or videos on TV. There are no music videos (MVs) dedicated to that kind of song. )."

 “What's wrong with this?” Yongshan Feng didn't understand.

“Originally, we only needed to buy the right to play the song, but now, if we want to buy the copyright of the video, it will cost a lot of money,” Naoki Nagayama said, “It's very expensive.”

Yongshan Feng scratched his head: "What should I do? Don't you want to buy it?"

“Without video, wouldn't the TV be useless? Then the features of our KTV would be gone.” Naoki Nagayama said, “I need to find a way.”

 He thought of the ancient Japanese and Korean KTVs. They would randomly add subtitles to a video and put it directly on it. They were all singing anyway, and all they needed was music and words.

"It shouldn't take much effort to find a random video and add subtitles, right?" Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "If all KTVs use our own MVs in the future, in addition to saving money, it might also be used as a product. "

“It's decided, the first task of the New Year for Shuyou Entertainment is this!”
