Tokyo Bubble Life - Chapter 363

Chapter 363 362, a major event involving human life has occurred!

After getting off the taxi in Manhattan’s Biticha, Naoki Naoyama led Genta Nakai around the alley for more than ten minutes, making Genta Nakai a little tired.

“Aren’t we there yet? Naoki-san, are you lost?”

“Stop rambling, take a walk after dinner, don’t you know the truth of living to ninety-nine?”

Naoki Naoyama is racking his brains to think about the direction. After all, he only came here once more than a year ago, and the route has become blurred.

“Aha~ here we are.” On an inconspicuous street, Naoki Naoyama finally found the bar where Madonna and Basquiat became friends, “Let’s go, let’s see if we can meet friends!”

Walking into the bar, under the dim light, many hippies have already gathered to drink and talk about the mountains, the gangsters who don’t look like good guys gather together to whisper, and there are brightly dressed women pulling men to laugh and curse, in the middle of the bar , There is also a band performing hoarsely.

At first glance, it looks like a gathering of demons and ghosts.

“Naoki-san, is your friend in New York really a good person?” Yuan Nakai was secretly startled, feeling that he had entered the gate of a new world.

“Of course, Yuan Tae-sang, don’t look at them with tattoos, smoking, drinking and cursing, but most of them are friendly and enthusiastic people!”

Naoki Naoyama is right. Although it is difficult to say in other aspects, most of the people here are anti-trend people at the bottom, representatives of advanced culture, and advocates of the spirit of love and peace.

In the 1980s, it was not easy to find such a bar in New York that did not discriminate against skin color and had racial equality.

“Hey, Bob, bring us two Manhattan cocktails!” Naoki Naoyama yelled at the bartender, like a regular customer, but the bartender Bob didn’t know these two Asians at all.

While waiting for the drinks, Naoki Naoyama and Genta Nakai were also enjoying the performance in the bar.

In this era, the resident bands in New York, in addition to popular rock, are actively trying to update things. After the decline of No Wave in 1982, the New Wave hit again, and underground bands added disco, punk, The use of metal synthesizers made the timbre more rich and varied, and the collision of multiple elements made 1983 the year when the albums of the major gods broke out.

“The style of music here is very strange.” Genta Nakai took a sip of the cocktail, felt the spicy liquid from his throat to his stomach, and his whole body became hot, “There is a strange momentum!”

“Haha, this is the cradle of future music trends~” Naoki Naoyama smiled, then turned to the bartender, “Hey, Bob, where is the Madonna who sang here before?”

The bartender Bob confirmed that the Asian in front of him was a previous guest: “You mean Madonna? That chick has signed with Sire Records and is no longer here.”

“Oh? What about her boyfriend Basquiat?” Naoki Naoyama continued to ask.

“Hey, you said my brother Basquiat!” The bartender Bob was obviously more enthusiastic. The chick Madonna slapped her **** and left the bar after being on the thigh list, but his good brother did not forget this after becoming famous. Helping a friend, “He is incredible, he has already held art exhibitions in various places! I have been very busy recently, so I haven’t come here~”

Speaking of which, Basquiat can change from a low-level street graffiti artist to a well-known painter who held an exhibition. This is a true manifestation of the American dream, and every guy who hangs around in New York is envious.

Naoki Naoyama was helpless: “It seems that I can’t see my old friend today~”

Nakai Genta shrugged, anyway, he doesn’t know these two people, so it’s fine if he can drink here~

The two hang out in the bar for two hours, immersed in the noisy and jubilant atmosphere, listening to the hoarse singing of the band, bragging with the drinking buddies they just met, in the dizzy head under the influence of alcohol, but Feel relaxed and happy.

Looking at Genta Nakai who was already flushed from drinking, Naoki Naoyama pulled him out of the bar, letting the cold night wind blow away some of his drunkenness: “Tai Sang Yuan, you can’t get drunk so quickly, you haven’t drunk yet. I’ve seen the wildest clubs in New York!”

“Naoki. What did you say?” Genta Nakai spoke with a big tongue, “Club?”

“Yes!” Naoki Yongshan pulled him into the small yellow car, “Driver, go to 77 White Street in Manhattan!”

MuddClub, one of the most legendary clubs in New York, a paradise for non-wave artists, a resort for young rockers, a nightclub where many well-known artists hang out, Mike Jagger and David Bowi of the Rolling Stones, Debbie Harry, the lead singer of the Blondie band, and the Talking Heads band have all lingered in this club until dawn.

Naoki Naoyama, who came here again, thought he could still see a group of guys in strange clothes waiting around the small gate, and maybe he would have to wait in line for several hours.

But when he finally stood at the door of the club converted from a small factory building, he was still amazed.

The place is empty now, even the MuddClub sign has been taken down

MuddClub, disappeared~

“Naoki-san, are we here?” Nakai Genta hooked Naoyama Naoki’s shoulder, looking left and right as if looking for the entrance.

“Ah, it’s here.” Naoki Naoyama felt an unspeakable loss. It was the pain of seeing the legend disappear after arriving in this era. Only then did he truly feel the pace of the times, and he was stepping mercilessly in front of him.

“Huh? Is it there? Where is the club?”

“right here.”

The closure of MuddClub made Naoki Nagayama suddenly lose the mood to continue his night tour, and Genta Nakai, who was next to him, was obviously a little drunk.

“Won Tae-sang, let’s go back and rest!”

“Eh? Aren’t you going to the club?”

“Already been there.”

“Oh, so I’ve already been there.”

At this time, Genta Nakai is as easy to coax as a two or three-year-old child. He will believe whatever he says and do whatever he says. If he puts it on the street, he should be sold easily~

On this day, Naoki Yongshan spent his first night in New York in his apartment in Manhattan. He had a lot of dreams at night, and the noise and bubbles in the dreams woke up in the morning, but he couldn’t remember it.

“Morning, Naoki. Hiss.” The pale-faced Genta Nakai covered his head, the long habit made him wake up early in the morning, but the feeling of hangover still didn’t let him go.

“I’ve only drank so much, and I’m so sluggish.” The energetic Naoki Naoyama toasted slices of bread, then fried eggs and bacon, and finally handed over a cup of hot milk like an old lady, obviously it was a guest.

“It’s not like everyone is as big as you~” Nakai Yuantai hurriedly washed up, and took a sip of hot milk, “By the way, Naoki-san, let’s sell the stock today.”

“Um.”

Naoki Naoyama nodded, and started to eat today’s breakfast. The price has almost dropped. In order to avoid the possible butterfly effect, it is better to sell it as soon as possible.

Stock trading in this era is not as convenient as later generations. The simple trading process not only requires a special terminal machine, but even the transaction itself requires special personnel to operate, otherwise ordinary people cannot operate such a complicated machine.

“Jinglingling~”

At this moment, the phone rang in the apartment, which surprised Genta Nakai. As he walked over to answer the phone, he said, “This is morning.”

“Hello~” After picking up the phone, seeing Genta Nakai’s face became strange, and then passed the phone to Naoki Nagayama, “Naoki, I’m looking for you! I’m calling from Japan.”

“? Call me at your apartment? Moses Moses?”

Naoki Naoki immediately thought of Otomo Fangcun from Shuyou Yinghua, but after answering the phone, he heard a familiar voice:

“Ni Jiang, it’s me, Hezi!”

“Eh?!” I was really surprised this time, “Hezi! Why is it you? How do you know the phone number here?”

“This is a long story”

It sounded like he wanted to be reserved, but then Hezi immediately told the process like pouring beans into a bamboo tube:

First, the family called the hotel in Los Angeles and couldn’t reach Naoki Naoyama, then Tsuruko used the spare key to enter the Yamazakin, found the office number of Shuyou Yinghua in the phone book, and called to ask Naoki Naoki about the latest The whereabouts, and finally found the number after the most recent contact.

“That’s why I contacted Ni-chan now! I’m amazing!”

Yongshan Hezi looked forward to being praised.

Speaking of which, after arriving in New York, I really didn’t call my family to report that I was safe. Instead, I called the company first. Sure enough, the company knew your whereabouts better than my family.

“It’s really amazing to say that,” boasted perfunctorily.

Because hearing Crane’s tone, it shouldn’t be something urgent, so Naoki Yongshan asked at this time, “But the family is so anxious to contact me, what happened?”

“Yes!” Hezi pretended to be mysterious, “A major event involving human life has happened!”

???

“Don’t gasp at this time!” Naoki Yongshan was speechless, “What happened?”

“Brother’s girlfriend is pregnant! It’s been more than three months!” Hezi yelled, “I’m going to be an aunt next year!”

So that’s what happened

Naoki Naoyama breathed a sigh of relief. Isn’t it normal for young men and women to be unable to hold back their love affairs? As for being so anxious and calling across the ocean, it’s only been three months, and it’s not like they’re about to give birth!

Wait, three months?

Three months to find out?

Yongshan Naoki grasped the blind spot: “Hezi, it’s been three months? Did you know it now?”

“Yes, I heard that my sister-in-law discovered it because her belly got bigger.” Hezi said so.

already pregnant

Brother’s girlfriend is somewhat sloppy!

Mentally complaining about his future sister-in-law silently, Naoki Yongshan became puzzled again: “Then why are you calling me in such a hurry? Isn’t my girlfriend pregnant? Shouldn’t you be looking for your elder brother?”

“We’re getting married! Married!” Tsuruko sounded like he was going to give Naoki Naoyama a hand knife, “Now the stomach is almost visible, if you don’t get married soon, people will be laughed at at the wedding!”

Indeed, even in the 1980s, such things as unmarried pregnancy are still relatively sensitive in small places. Although people’s ideas have improved, but a big belly at the wedding

Still get laughed at!

But hearing this, I have already decided to get married~

Brother’s lifelong event seems to be settled!

Yongshan Naoki finally realized: “It means that the eldest brother wants to get married as soon as possible? Is the wedding going to be held tomorrow?”

“It’s not so fast. Probably within half a month~” Hezi said, “Father and mother said that they are more anxious, but there are still a lot of steps to be done. Then Ni-chan must come back as soon as possible, and don’t miss the wedding!”

“That’s why you contact me in such a hurry?”

“Who told Ni Jiang to travel for a few weeks and a month~

What if I can’t get in touch if I don’t tell you earlier~ What if I missed my eldest brother’s wedding? “Hezi’s tone still reveals his envy for his brother’s ability to travel freely.

“I understand. I will go back in the next two days.” Naoki Naoyama could only answer in this way, there is no way, this is the eldest brother getting married, and he must not miss it.

However, before hanging up the phone, Hezi continued: “By the way, Ni-chan! Now that I’m going on a trip, don’t forget my gift!”

“Eh? Am I coming back?”

“I don’t care, you’ve been out anyway! Above!”

Hezi quickly hung up the phone, without giving Naoki Yongshan a chance to bargain.

After putting down the phone, Naoki Nagayama sighed, and said helplessly to Yuanta Nakai: “It seems like I’m going back, Yuanta-san.”

“Brother is getting married~” Genta Nakai had already heard the general idea, “Congratulate your elder brother for me~”

“Hey, my trip to Rome, the Vatican, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain” Naoki Naoyama was depressed, “I have already arranged the travel itinerary!”

“Hahaha, there is still a chance in the future~” Yuan Nakai laughed too much, he couldn’t travel to Naoki Nagayama, but he couldn’t feel sympathy at all, and he didn’t even have a chance to go~

Complaints are complaints, there are still some things to do.

After calling and booking air tickets for tomorrow, Naoki Naoyama and Genta Nakai came to the New York Stock Exchange and found their own brokers to conduct on-site command.

Sure enough, all the wealth was involved in the game, and it is still necessary to trade on the spot to be at ease.

Although electronic display screens have been promoted, the New York Stock Exchange is still noisy with people coming and going. Trading on the exchange that has been practiced for decades is still popular, and the sign language battle between brokers is still fierce.

If it is a small transaction, it may be good to directly list it, but for a large transaction, it is mainly the interaction between some large capitals.

A list of nearly 20 million US dollars is not too small.

“Sir, should you sell all of them?” The broker was a little surprised, “IBM’s stock is still on a downward trend. If you sell at this point, you may not get the maximum profit.”

“Sell them all, my boss follows the ancient oriental philosophy, and I hope you can accept as soon as you see something good.” Genta Nakai communicated with his agent, while Naoki Naoyama acted as a rich boss who didn’t understand English at all

It’s just a little too young.

“Okay! You decide your money!” The agent didn’t continue to persuade, anyway, he already got a lot of commission for this sum.

After watching the manager’s dazzling operations and an incomprehensible sign language, both of them felt a little nervous.

But within a short while, all the stocks in Naoki Yongshan’s account were sold out. In the eyes of the capital predators, this was just a one-shot transaction.

Nearly 20 million US dollars of funds have been deposited in the account,

The rest is the cumbersome withdrawal!

Genta Nakai, who walked out of the NYSE, had weak legs, and Naoki Naoyama had to support him in the nearby small garden for a while,

“Naoki-san, I’ve become a billionaire, right?”

Genta Nakai still couldn’t believe it. Although, as a staff member of Mitsubishi Bank, he was very confident in his ability to make money, becoming a billionaire was at least only after middle age.

“Well, double the $200,000 to $400,000. If you convert it into Japanese yen, it’s just over 100 million. But after you pay off the mortgage, you shouldn’t be able to reach the level of a billionaire.”

Naoki Naoyama’s answer got Genta Nakai’s eyes, and his assets doubled, but this guy didn’t respond at all.

“Naoki-san should talk less in the future, or he will be beaten!”

Naoki Naoyama will be returning to Tokyo tomorrow. It will take some time to transfer the funds from the stock market to an offshore account and then back to Naoki Naoki’s company in Tokyo. This will be handled by Genta Nakai in the United States. .

“Won Tae-sang, if you have money, keep some of it, about two million dollars in the United States. I want to buy some assets abroad.”

But Naoki Naoyama has no intention of transferring all the money back. The assets here mainly refer to real estate. The desire to buy a house is just around the corner.

“If Won Tae-sang is free during this time, please show me the high-end apartments in the building in Manhattan, New York. I want to buy one~”

In this day and age, although you can’t buy the top-end apartments for $2 million, there are always no problems with high-end apartments in wealthy areas.

“Hi, I see!”

There is no problem with this kind of trivial matter, “But Naoki-san, we have made a lot of money.

Tonight we must have a carnival until dawn! ”

“You” Naoki Naoyama was speechless, “It’s only morning.”
