Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 157 Layout of the Entertainment Industry
"You have no objection to my singing?"

Izumi Sakai showed a surprised expression, a little bit unable to believe what she saw.

You know, in the three East Asian countries, the status of celebrities is very low.

Not to mention wealthy families, even families with average assets don’t like their wives to become entertainment stars.

"Why should I object? Just sing if you like."

Masato Takeshita prefers the peerless singer in his memory. Since his girlfriend has this idea, he naturally has to support her.

Of course, just to be on the safe side.

He planned to set up a separate firm for the girl and then acquire some of Being's shares.

In this way, both the agency contract and the record contract will be under control.

The entertainment agencies in Japan are all ruthless and heartless.

Many stars have to frequently participate in TV shows, run announcements, and hold concerts under the arrangement of their agencies.

Most popular stars have less than 5 hours of rest time a day.

Masato Takeshita didn't want his girlfriend to fall into a miserable situation, so he naturally had to prepare for it.

"Well, thank you, thank you!"

Izumi Sakai had never expected Masato Takeshita to say this. She hugged him and cried with joy, saying thank you over and over again.

She loves singing and her dream has always been to become a singer.

Although her boyfriend had said before that he supported her dream, she thought it was just lip service.

Unexpectedly, this was my boyfriend’s real thought.

It's so good.

About 3 minutes later, Izumi Sakai's emotions finally stabilized a little.

Seeing this, Takeshita Masato said directly: "Wait for me for a few days, and I will help you get everything done."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Izumi Sakai was half lying in the young man's arms, nodding softly with a blushing face.

Setting up a firm is simple and can be done with a small investment.

It was more difficult to acquire shares in a record company, so Masato Takeshita asked Yamaichi Securities to do it.

"Someone wants to invest in my company. No, no, I won't agree."

Nagato Daiyuki of Being is a president with a strong desire for power, and he doesn't like anyone to threaten his rule over the company.

Oda Tetsuro, the most famous composer in his previous life, eventually chose to flee because of Nagato Daiyuki's desire for power.

"Are you really willing to let Being remain a small company?"

"I……"

Hideji Takahashi of Yamaichi Securities understands the thinking of those in power in these small companies very well.

His expression did not change at all, and his blow pierced through Nagato Daiyuki's psychological defenses.

“The choice is now simple.”

"If you agree to raise funds, you will get a lot of money for development, as well as countless resources. If you refuse to raise funds, you can slowly develop your small company and rely on your luck."

Takahashi Hideji only spoke the facts and further crushed Nagato Daiyuki's resistance with words.

The commission for this order is very high, and he really wants to get it.

In the end, Hideharu Takahashi convinced him.

Nagato Daiyuki is already old and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Just lose 30% of the equity.

Anyway, the company's controlling rights are still in his hands, and he has a strong backer.

Compared with small record companies, Matsumoto Manufacturing and Xinghai Semiconductor are relatively prestigious.

After acquiring a portion of Being's shares, Masato Takeshita did not tell Izumi Sakai immediately.

He began to arrange vocal lessons for the girl to improve her physical conditions.

Being's glory came from riding on the wave of the band's popularity.

This trend has not come yet, so even if Izumi Sakai joins in, it will be difficult for her to stand out.

"Just because your girlfriend wants to sing, you buy 30% of the shares?" "That's right."

Masato Takeshita quickly stamped his stamp, then looked up and responded with a smile.

"Uh, okay."

Nagato Daiko was secretly complaining that he had thought so much in vain.

Is this a rich person?
Sure enough, he is willful enough.

Masato Takeshita vaguely guessed what Daiyuki Nagato was thinking, but he didn't care at all.

Being is still just a small, insignificant record company right now.

Two months later, Masato Takeshita returned from Shanghai and told his girlfriend everything.

“You invested in a record company?”

“Well, although this company is small, its employees are very talented. You will definitely achieve great growth there.”

Izumi Sakai became famous here in his previous life, so Masato Takeshita would naturally not make any unnecessary changes.

If it ends badly, it would be a huge loss.

"Well, I believe you."

"Don't worry, my choice won't be wrong."

Masato Takeshita helped his girlfriend comb her hair while comforting her confidently.

Playing in a band, no one will be able to beat Being in a few years.

In fact, compared to Being's Nagato Daiyuki, Takeshita Masato values Avex's Matsuura Katsuto more.

Also standing on the vent,

Daiyuki Nagato's Being immediately retreated to the second line after the boom ended, while Katsuto Matsuura seized the opportunity and developed Avex into the largest record company in Japan.

Even Sony, a world-famous record giant, is firmly suppressed by Avex in its home country.

If you're going to do it, just do it big.

Masato Takeshita immediately contacted Katsuto Matsuura, who had not yet officially started his own business, through Korn Ferry.

"Mr. Takeshita wants to set up a record company and invite me to be the president?"

"That's right. I'm going to invest 5 million yen. If you do well, you and your team can get up to 30% of the equity. The specific terms are already written in the contract."

When it comes to talented people, you have to be generous.

Although Matsuura Katsuto looks a bit ugly, he is indeed talented enough.

"Okay, I agree."

With such good conditions, he had no reason to refuse.

Masato Matsuura plans to start a business together with his friend Tetsuya Komuro.

Anyway, he already had this idea, so he might as well invest in a big company.

Although Matsumoto Manufacturing and Xinghai Semiconductor had no experience in the entertainment industry, this was actually better for him.

If it was a large and experienced company, he would never agree to it.

Because only an inexperienced company can ensure that the record company is always under his control.

“So, what’s the name of our company?”

Masato Takeshita looked at Katsuto Matsuura and asked with some wicked humor: "Avex, what do you think of this name?"

"Avex, it sounds good, really good."

"Well, then the company's recruitment work will be handed over to you. I will only arrange financial personnel in the new company, and you will be responsible for everything else."

"Don't worry, I will definitely develop Avex into a well-known record company in Japan."

Katsuto Matsuura is very arrogant and feels that he will rise sooner or later.

But his current goal is simply to develop the company into a major record company, not to be the number one in Japan.

This is normal, as people's ambitions expand with their status.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was begging, he never thought that he could become emperor.

When Ren Zhengfei started his business, he only wanted to pay off his debts.
