Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 839 839. Imagination Reality
Someone jumped off the building.

Shinichi Iwahashi came back to his senses, thinking of Mayumi Watanabe beside him, he turned his head away.She looked astonished, as if shocked, as if frightened, staring at the place where the incident happened in front of her.

Turn around.

The neon lights are dazzling and stinging to the eyes.Exclamations, screams, and noises from the scene kept pouring into my ears.For a split second, it's hard to tell whether you're in reality or it's just an illusion.

Suddenly, the neon lights that sting the eyes disappeared.She was pulled back from the hallucination by a hand.

Wanyumi Watanabe blinked her eyes as if she finally had a chance to breathe.

"Are you all right? Manyumi-san." Iwahashi Shinichi carefully sized her up.

Mayumi Watanabe stared at his concerned face for a while.Yanqiao Shenyi didn't hide or ask, just watched her silently, waiting.For a moment, she had the illusion that it was he who stood up and built a wall between reality and illusion, blocking the stinging things behind her.

Watanabe Mayumi's eyes slowly moved from his face to his shoulders that were close in front of her eyes.After realizing it, Iwahashi Shinichi put his left hand on her arm.

...like dancing.

In Mayumi Watanabe's mind, such a nonsensical and inappropriate thought suddenly popped up.

She shook her head slightly, "It's okay."

On a deep winter night, the night sky is unfathomable.The blue-gray full moon has a hint of ominousness.Of course, this ominous association is actually my own imagination.

Police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene, cordoned off and dispersed onlookers.Whether it's a nouveau riche standing on the roof of the car and throwing money, or a frustrated person falling from the roof, there will never be a shortage of spectators.

Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the car and called Takeuchi Akihito to cancel the meeting tonight.

Witnessed a tragic event with his own eyes, and, judging by today's day, it is very likely that this person has lost all his money in the stock market and has nowhere to go.

The gamble that puts one's family and life on one's life is not only a loss until there is no refund, nothing to return, bankruptcy, and giving up one's identity in order to avoid debts and become a homeless man.We also have to face the huge gap from heaven to hell, the reality that we will never turn over again in this life and lose hope from now on.

If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I’ll say it again. After seeing the person who died because of this Black Friday, I couldn’t meet Akihito Takenouchi as if nothing happened. Hearing what he said about his boss and colleagues, how lucky I was to leave early, and how I admire Iwahashi Shinichi has good eyesight.

He used the car phone to contact Akihito Takenouchi, and Mayumi Watanabe was quiet, looking at his profile close in front of him.Yanqiao Shenyi finished the phone call, turned his face away, and talked to her, "It's ok..." His tone paused, "What is Wanyumi-san thinking?"

Wanyumi Watanabe did not answer.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't ask any further questions, but discussed with her, "Where are we going next?"

"Send you home." He asked himself.

Wanyumi Watanabe defaulted.Yanqiao Shenyi asked her, "The address should not have changed, right? Didn't you say before that the people from the real estate company lobbied you to make a move?" He might not be activating the atmosphere.

"How could it be possible to sell a house for personal use." Wanyumi Watanabe replied dryly, obviously not in the mood yet.

Now, Yanqiao Shinichi stopped talking.

After receiving the address of Mayumi Watanabe's house, Sanzhi Iijima continued to return to the Sanzhi state of "don't listen, don't look, don't talk", and drove her car silently.

On this side, they came out of Roppongi, and on the other side, the road into Roppongi was full of traffic.

Wanyumi Watanabe didn't fully wake up until she drove out of Roppongi and regained her state.She suddenly mentioned, "Just now, I remembered the first time I danced with you."

"What?" Yanqiao Shinichi was surprised.

Watanabe Mayumi didn't look at his face, but hearing his tone, she couldn't help but smile, "Shinichi-kun is very good at dancing."

Yanqiao Shinichi gave a "hmm" and said deliberately: "It is true that people often praise me like that."

"You really dare to say it." Watanabe Mayumi laughed at him.But no matter what, in the end, he regained his spirit and was able to talk and laugh.

When the stock market crashes, real estate is in danger.On this day, all over Japan, I don’t know how many people went crazy, how many people chose to run away from home, and how many people wanted to stand on the roof of the building and the platform of the tram.

What we are witnessing today is the beginning of an era in which the next bubble will burst and the living will be buried as the dead.

"Practitioners in the entertainment industry must be responsible to the audience." Wanyumi Watanabe said suddenly.

Yanqiao Shinichi was pondering the meaning of her words, Watanabe Mayumi smiled first, "...It sounds a bit hypocritical and self-righteous."

"That's not true." Yanqiao Shinichi denied.

"The first thing, of course, is to find a way to make a profit, to make money from the audience." Wanyumi Watanabe said, "However, it is another matter to use something to exchange the money from the audience."

"Like?"

"When the economy is in turmoil, people's hearts will be unstable. As a practitioner in the arts industry, we should consider how to deal with and relieve this anxiety. Whether it is healing the public or encouraging the public, it is just to give the public's anxiety a place to settle. It’s good to have a place, to let the public feel resonance in the work...there is too much to do.”

And these, at the same time, are opportunities that must be taken seriously.Next, there are plenty of things to do waiting to show off.It is precisely because there are so many things that can be done and can be done that we have to be more responsible to the audience.

As Mayumi Watanabe spoke, ideas began to emerge in her mind.

But while talking about this, she still remembers going to the reception tonight. On the way there, Yanqiao Shinichi said casually, "If necessary, we will consider financing."

Both are ambitious.

But before taking action, there is still a need for unity and mutual understanding.

Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned casually, "Now, if you go to the warehouse disco for [-] yen for a night, you might still be able to make money."

The worse the so-called economy is, the more popular cheap entertainment is.

"You don't intend to open a disco, do you?" Wanyumi Watanabe glanced at him.

Yanqiao Shinichi shook his head, "For us, it's not worthwhile to go to a disco right now. If we really want to say, it's better to make disco music. Of course, right now we have to count on the band."

Mayumi Watanabe was speechless for a moment when he choked on his jumpy words.After a pause, "In short, deal with the present first."

"Understood." Yanqiao Shenyi agreed, "I can't chew off more than I can chew."

Mayumi Watanabe laughed when she called him.Then it occurred to me that the two people had the same mind in business affairs and coincided with each other.They see things in a similar light and share a common goal.

She finally relaxed completely, and her mood slowly recovered throughout the night.

The car stopped in front of the apartment where Watanabe Wanyumi lived.

Yanqiao Shen handed over her bag, "Take a good rest."

Mayumi Watanabe raised her eyelids, and Shinichi Iwahashi's arm was in front of her eyes.She nodded and said softly, "Be careful on the road."

Sending off Mayumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi was not in the mood to wander around, so he ordered Mitomo Iijima to take him home.The silence in the car was probably boring, so he joked casually, "Don't count what I told you just now."

It's about when I first arrived in Roppongi, Iwahashi Shinichi arranged for Santomo Iijima to send Mayumi Watanabe home after the incident, and he took a taxi back by himself.

Sanzhi Iijima responded calmly, "The plan is too late to change."

Yanqiao Shen heard it and laughed twice.Feeling even more bored, I stopped talking.When he was about to get home, the pager in his pocket suddenly rang.

Take it out and see, it's Akina Nakamori.

After returning home, Shinichi Iwahashi checked the phone messages, and there was also a call from Akina Nakamori.After making a phone call and paging, and not knowing what the important event was, Yanqiao Shenyi was confused, so he hurriedly called her back.

As a result, after the call was made, the important matter that Akina Nakamori cared about was——

"Shinichi, have you bought stocks yet?"

Yanqiao Shenyi couldn't hold back when he heard her hot-tempered and rash question, and laughed.

……

Spend Saturday and Sunday without incident.But on the next Monday, early in the morning, the morning news urgently interrupted the news that an office worker committed suicide by jumping off the track, causing the tram to stop.

A small corner of Tokyo is in a mess, and it doesn't affect other people's actions.

As usual, when the gates of the carriages were opened, the commuters walked out expressionlessly and were pushed across the zebra crossing by the crowd.

Life has to go on, ordinary people have their flesh cut and bloodletted, and their knocked out teeth have to be swallowed in their stomachs.

A weekend passed, and last week's "Black Friday" seemed to be swept into the garbage dump, and then walked into the company and sat in the office, all of them as if nothing had happened.During the lunchtime chat, they never mentioned stocks, as if there had never been such a thing as "Nikkei".

Publicly sad Friday nights are only allowed.

On Monday, the previous sales list was sent to GENZO's office and sent to Iwahashi Shinichi's desk.

After the initial figure of 58 copies was counted in the chart in the first week of the year, nearly 20 copies were sold in the last statistical cycle, and the popularity remains unabated.

Judging by this momentum, maybe by the end of this January, it will hit millions.If it really wants to sell more than one million copies, it will be the first million-dollar album of this year.

On the other hand, BOLAN's single sales have been declining steadily. During this period, they sold about 27 copies, and the cumulative sales reached [-] copies, continuing to break their single sales record.For a rookie band, having such a single is enough for them to stay in the public memory for a while, and they will not forget it until the next work is released.

With the two big achievements at the beginning of the year, it seems that they will continue to rise and get a new sales list. The staff of GENZO are all in high spirits, and they are only waiting to participate in this Friday's celebration.

The celebration planned by the company will be held at the Prince Hotel in Akasaka, from the singers who have debuted and who have not debuted to the staff, all the staff will participate.At that time, not only delicious food and drink, but also a lottery game.The big winner of the night has a prize of 100 million yen. In addition, there are various awards of different denominations, with a minimum of [-] yen. There is no empty prize.

When the venue and program arrangement of the celebration party was announced, the whole GENZO erupted in jubilation.

GENZO is up and down, and no one doubts that this company has a bright future.

In the morning, Shin Iwahashi finished his upcoming meeting, and communicated with the team that was temporarily formed to prepare for Keiko Utoku's debut, and discussed her debut plan again.

Yude Jingzi's management contract is at the Xingchen Office, and if he wants to make a debut, he must also nod and agree.However, the plan is finalized, and before we can talk about our official debut, we must first discuss the full cooperation with Xingchen Agency.

Make the debut plan and pass it on to Mayumi Watanabe.The two sides didn't have time to meet, so they discussed it on the phone, and agreed that Wanyumi Watanabe would come forward to contact the Star Office, and as long as the other party was interested, they would discuss cooperation.

Monday, full and busy.

Halfway through the first month, almost all the receptions to attend have been attended, and the atmosphere related to the New Year has finally dissipated.It was rare that there was no social gathering that night, and Yanqiao Shinichi didn't plan to go out to have fun, but was just waiting to get home from get off work.

As a result, before leaving get off work, there was another call from Akina Nakamori.

……

Office workers are busy on Mondays, but as an artist, one day may not be busy and another day is free.

It was supposed to be a wind-up day, but Akina Nakamori was surprisingly leisurely.Waking up in the morning, listening to the morning news and preparing breakfast, another person ate slowly.

In the morning news, there was an urgent break in the news that someone committed suicide by jumping on the track and stopped the tram. Akina Nakamori couldn't help sighing while watching the news.

She was in a daze and didn't know anything about investment and financial management, so she didn't get involved in things like stock and real estate investment.The only building built for the family was put up for sale at the end of last year.

Akina Nakamori doesn't bother to listen to things that don't interest him.Now, at the age of 25, after so many years of cultivation in the entertainment industry, and after understanding the ways of the world, it is not like when I was a child, I would leave immediately if I was not interested, and I can sit and listen.

Even so, her left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, even though many of her friends who have a good relationship in the industry have participated in the investment, she is still indifferent.

It seems that, to her, money is only meaningful when shopping around.

Last Friday, the Nikkei plunged...

Although Akina Nakamori did not participate, he does not care about the stock market.But even if she doesn't care, someone once told her that "the Nikkei will never go down, and real estate will always go up."

Even if you don't care, you can hear it from other people's mouths.

On Friday night, when everyone knew about the sharp drop in the Nikkei, Akina Nakamori saw others were downcast, and suddenly thought of Shinichi Iwahashi, wondering if he had invested in stocks.

After worrying about it, Iwahashi Shinichi thought of his parents and siblings again.

Nakamori Akina knew that her mother, Chieko, had shares in NTT.But Chieko only focused on participating, and Akina Nakamori knew better, so she wasn't so worried.

I don't even know what happened to my father, brothers and sisters, and my younger sister Mingsui.

There was only Shinichi Iwahashi, and Akina Nakamori didn't know his financial situation, so he could only call him while worrying.

If you buy a lot...

If he is unable to turn around, lend him his own money.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi's personality probably won't accept it.

Akina Nakamori rehearsed in his mind, but instead of being useless, he laughed out loud when he asked the words.
