Chapter 1299, Chapter 1308: Next Monday, they will all regard me as a god!
"Meow!!!"
A bright orange shadow flashed by in an instant, and Nyantaro's mournful cry brought tears to everyone's eyes.
At this moment, Eitaro, one of only two children in the Yamazakurain family, also ran up to the veranda in fear, watching the figure in the living room with both vigilance and curiosity.
Then you hear crisp laughter like "Ah~", "Haha~", and "Hoho~", followed by the sight of a bouncy, one-meter-tall figure with outstretched arms running after Eitaro.
What terrified both of them was the incredibly realistic and lifelike dinosaur costume worn by this figure!
In preparation for the filming of "Jurassic Park," Naoki Nagayama naturally paid close attention to the props used in the movie. He even went to a specialized realistic toy manufacturing workshop to commission large-scale dinosaur props that the film's prop masters couldn't make.
The realistic props were very satisfying. On the way back, I saw some children's mascot costumes, so I bought one for Xia Hua.
So Xiaoxia was overjoyed to put on the dinosaur costume!!
"Wow~~"
The little girl, with her long teeth and claws, pounced on the dog, which was no smaller than her, like a miniature, adorable little dinosaur trying to be cute.
Of course, this is how the little guys see themselves. Eitaro and Nyantaro were naturally terrified and ran away everywhere, causing chaos throughout the entire Yama-Sakurain courtyard!
"Naoki Mulberry"
Akina watched this scene with great concern.
"Have we raised Hua Jiang to be a boy?"
“Hahaha~” Naoki Nagayama shook his head. “Kids should be energetic. It’s not a bad thing for her to be a little more manly when she’s young. She’ll grow out of it.”
Being lively and active is in the nature of children this age!
"."
Akina sighed softly, feeling like she'd been much more sentimental lately.
"But you still need to wash your hands and feet after you're done playing, otherwise you can't eat anything!"
This is a mother's last act of defiance!
Naoki Nagayama didn't say much, but instead addressed his wife:
"I need to go to the company this afternoon to handle some investment matters."
"Will you come back for dinner tonight?"
"Um"
And so, like an old married couple, Naoki Nagayama drove to Ginza amidst Akina's "Have a safe trip" farewell.
Tokyo was bustling in the first half of October, starting with a high-level bribery scandal, followed by the opening red carpet ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival, then a hot prime ministerial candidate announcing his resignation from his party, and finally Michael Jackson's Tokyo concert.
Just listening to it makes it seem like everything is happening all at once, as if someone is unhappy about the heatwave leaving and has scheduled all the hot topics for the very first moment of autumn.
However, this scene seems surprisingly fitting in today's bustling Tokyo.
Restless and bustling, wealthy and extravagant. With the ever-expanding bubble, Tokyo has become the most flamboyant, noisy, and colorful city in Japan, as if everything that happens here is reasonable!
"The impending stock market crash might give this city a chance to calm down."
In Ginza, Tokyo's most bustling area, during the afternoon when people were coming and going, Naoki Nagayama shook his head as he watched the lively street scenes flashing past the train window. Only he knew that beneath the prosperity lay the impending stock market crash.
Upon arriving at Tree Friends Capital, Naoki Nagayama greeted a somewhat surprised Hiroka Kanai:
"Zhouxiangjiang, notify everyone to hold an emergency meeting in half an hour."
"Hi!"
Kanai Hiroka nodded quickly and then immediately went to the work area to inform everyone.
Naoki Nagayama went to his office and picked up faxes sent by Genta Nakai and his team from various countries, containing the latest information from stock exchanges around the world.
"New York is still thriving."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the ever-rising economic indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Hang Seng Index and sighed.
In today's market conditions, no one could have predicted a stock market crash in the next few days.
The faxes from various parties show that Naoki Nagayama's key personnel in various countries are ready, and have already distributed futures contracts, just waiting for the possible sharp drop in the second half of the month.
"I just don't know if it will be October 19th again this time. But today is already Friday, and if the market doesn't open over the weekend, this is the last deadline."
"What would be the consequences if the judgment is wrong?" "At worst, we'd lose money; we can't afford to lose everything."
Sitting in his executive chair, Naoki Nagayama stood with his hands clasped in thought. Would this sudden stock market crash have a butterfly effect on him? Were there any mistakes in his own trading? Where were the loopholes?
Various thoughts raced through my mind, but in the end, I could only come to one conclusion: he doesn't have much money or influence in the United States, so this stock market crash won't be affected by him!
Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour had gone by. Kanai Hiroka knocked on the office door:
"Naoki-san, everyone is in the meeting room!"
"Ah!" Naoki Nagayama finally snapped out of his daze. "I'll be right there."
After following Kanai Hiroka to the large conference room, the large round table was already full of people, and some employees were even standing against the opposite wall, their buzzing conversations filling the air.
The meeting room gradually quieted down after Naoki Nagayama walked in.
Naoki Nagayama gently placed the folder containing the fax on the conference table before sitting down. He glanced around at the employees of Tree Friends Capital and slowly began to speak:
"Everyone"
"I called you all into the meeting room a while ago and arranged an extremely conservative investment strategy."
"I'm here today for this very reason!"
Some employees' eyes lit up immediately—could this ban be lifted?!
God knows how difficult things have been for the extremely conservative Tree Friends Capital during this period, even with such a favorable market environment! Their traders have even lost 40% of their clients!
Then a more experienced investment manager asked:
"Naoki-san, is it time to loosen up the investment strategy?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately echoed his sentiments.
"Will they open up?" "It's not too late to open up now!" "We might be able to win back our clients if we take this opportunity!" "I have a pretty good relationship with my clients."
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of the folder hitting the desktop brought everyone back to silence. Naoki Nagayama spoke first:
"Quite the opposite!"
"I received information from your team leader and Director Nakai that the systemic risks facing the market have not decreased; in fact, they are rising rapidly!"
Naoki Nagayama couldn't rely solely on his own guesses when dealing with these investment managers, so he had to fabricate a special source of analysis.
It was said to be based on a report analyzed by a high-end computer research center in the United States, as well as on-site analysis by several key members of Tree Friends Capital.
"Even," he glanced at the employees again, "it could erupt in the second half of the month!"
With a whoosh, a discussion erupted in the conference room; everyone was excited about the news. This prompted Naoki Nagayama to slam his fist on the table a few times to quiet them down.
"I know this news is somewhat disappointing, but the extremely conservative strategy cannot be stopped!"
Naoki Nagayama continued,
"Even today, we must be even more resolute!"
"I demand that you cease all further trading before the market closes, and recover all recoverable funds from all accounts you have, leaving them untouched until the end of the month!"
Everyone was even more astonished upon hearing this:
"Putting funds in an account?! What's the difference between that and putting them in a bank?! And there's no interest!" "Are we going to stop operating?" "If you do this, all the clients will call when the market opens on Monday!"
In the past, the extremely conservative strategy was at least able to attract some stable customers to stay.
If you put all your money in an account, it's just plain saving money, not even as good as putting it in a bank! At least banks don't charge storage fees; those customers are paying for the trees!
"Naoki-san, if we don't have any customers left by the end of the month!"
"."
Naoki Nagayama remained silent. Of course, he knew that if nothing changed, the outcome would be clear by next Monday, and the clients would be thanking them profusely. But he couldn't reveal anything now!
Therefore, he could only use his authority as the president of Shuyou Capital to forcefully issue the order:
"Just do as I say. If we lose customers because of my instructions, it's not your fault!"
"."
The employees present all looked at Naoki Nagayama, their legendary president, with the eyes of someone looking at a madman. Many employees even began to consider switching to another company.
After all, people might be able to tolerate an extreme company leader, but a crazy leader...
"All right!"
Naoki Nagayama offered no explanation, and clapped his hands twice.
"You all go to work!"
Under his domineering presence, the group slowly left the meeting room and returned to their workstations, still discussing the matter along the way.
The atmosphere at Tree Friends Capital visibly sombered.
Naoki Nagayama returned to his office and let out a long sigh, silently gazing at the towering skyscrapers of Ginza outside.
"Naoki-san, your coffee"
Kanai Hiroka, the receptionist, came in and served the usual hot coffee. However, before leaving, a somewhat timid expression on her face compelled Naoki Nagayama to ask:
"Zhouxiang-chan, what's wrong?"
"Naoki-san," Kanai Hiroka asked anxiously, "Is Tree Friends Capital going bankrupt?!"
"."
It's no wonder this young woman is worried. She joined Shuyou Capital as a receptionist right after graduation and always thought the company had great benefits, a friendly atmosphere, and a famous big boss—it was practically her dream company.
However, just now, many of her employees who were making a lot of money were saying that "the company is going to go bankrupt." This made her very worried!
"what?"
Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Is Zhouxiang-chan that worried?"
".this."
Kanai Hiroka murmured.
"I really like the people here. Everyone is so talented, and my boss is so nice to talk to. I love it here! I hope I can stay here forever!"
"Hahaha"
Naoki Nagayama laughed incessantly; those words felt so familiar. He stopped laughing before offering words of comfort.
"It won't go bankrupt. Don't worry!"
"And even if the company goes bankrupt, I'll arrange for you, such a good employee as Zhouxiangjiang, to work for another company under my name."
You can often see big stars at Tree Friends Entertainment!
Ah, I almost forgot, the big boss, Naoki Nagayama, is a tycoon who owns many companies!!
Kanai Hiroka's complexion immediately improved, and she even started fantasizing about how she would ask a celebrity for an autograph:
"Thank you!"
"Alright, go back to work."
"Ok!"
Looking at the girl's light steps, Naoki Nagayama shook his head. It seemed that this decision had really unsettled the company's morale!
but
"It's alright, by next Monday they'll all treat me like a god!!"
Meanwhile, in Shuyu's building, Yoshimura Daitomo was checking resumes with Inada Masamitsu.
One by one, they opened and closed the pages.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Yoshimura Otomo said, growing increasingly impatient. "That Naoki guy, he wants her to be intelligent, resilient, and not too pretty."
"Why can't it be too beautiful?"
Masami Inada expressed his incomprehension.
"Isn't this just the value of a vase?!"
"Naoki-san hopes that people will remember the dinosaurs in this movie!!" Yoshimura Daitomo explained, "The actors are there to serve the dinosaurs, so they can't be too pretty and overshadow them!"
"."
Even Masahiro Inada thought this request was excessive.
"How could any actress be more attractive than a Tyrannosaurus Rex?!"
"..." Yoshimura Otomo's gaze towards Inada Masami began to twist. "Masami-kun, you've been spending way too much time preparing dinosaur props lately, haven't you?"
"No, not at all. I'm just contacting the manufacturer to check on the progress."
"Okay, the props are ready. Take a short rest and go relax at the club."
Yoshimura Otomo spoke earnestly,
"You're so young, chat with pretty girls more often and banish dinosaurs from your mind!"
"."
Masami Inada remained silent, simply continuing to flip through the resume.
Suddenly, he spoke:
"Otomo-san, what do you think of Kuroki Hitomi?"
"Kuroki Hitomi?" Yoshimura Otomo took it and looked at it. "She seems a little thinner."
"And what about Takagi Rei? The actress who played Megumi Iruma in Ultraman."
"let me see."
The two were in the office looking for the female lead for Naoki Nagayama's new movie. They planned to give the candidates to Naoki Nagayama for review after the first round of screening was completed.
During this time, supplies and props began to be continuously transported to Jurassic Island in the Seto Inland Sea. Naoya Sakata, who was on the island, temporarily took on the role of production manager and stored all the supplies.
In addition, the male lead, Harrison Ford, also came to the island and checked into a resort hotel.
Harrison Ford had no intention of staying in Japan for long, so he hadn't booked a hotel for an extended period.
However, after Shuyu signed a contract with his agency, he stayed, and Naoki Nagayama simply let him stay at the resort hotel on Jurassic Island, where the entire crew would stay from then on.
By moving in at this time, Harrison Ford can familiarize himself with the set beforehand.
"Director Nagayama, you really created a Jurassic Island!"
Looking at the vast island, he was filled with awe. He had seen the port town, railway tracks, and park from the sightseeing bus, and now he was deeply impressed!
Even in Hollywood's "Star Wars," there was never such a large-scale production; those were all set up in a studio!
"It looks like this movie might actually be a huge hit!"
