Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1243 1243. Undercurrent surging
The powerful BURNING also invested a large amount of stocks, real estate, and art during the bubble era.Real estate and artworks are both places that have a lot to do with the poles and political circles.

The bursting of the bubble, for the Jidao organization, is just taking advantage of this opportunity to amass a fortune, using black and gray means to deal with bad debts, and using ultra-low prices that are almost extortionate, to take the land from ordinary people and turn ordinary people People are forced into borrowing hell until even people are sold.

During the heyday of the bubble, ordinary people were forced to be involved in the torrent of the times.After the bubble burst, ordinary people were also the most vulnerable and became the most direct victims.Carrying a mountain of burdens on his back, he lost all his money, and was even targeted by the extreme organization, and his family was ruined.

The so-called era of bubbles is an era in which the strong are made stronger and those in power can plunder wantonly.Ordinary people, even if they seem to have gotten lucky, they will still end up in hell when the wind of the times stops and what awaits them.

In the area where Zhou Fang Yuxiong lives, neighbors include both politicians and business elites.The little A Fei who is not in the world, now being neighbors with these people can also be called inspirational.

There are many factions in the political world, and each faction not only has a fixed time for breakfast meetings, but the leaders of the factions will also call highly regarded officials to their homes for gatherings. Relationship.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong used to be the driver of a member of parliament, and he saw what was going on in the political world, and he didn't take it seriously.In fact, factions and organizations are basically the same thing.Zhou Fang Yuxiong like this also regularly holds gatherings at home, inviting the president of the BURNING department office and highly regarded cadres to participate.

BURNING is in the record industry, full of ambitions for a prosperous record market.As soon as Nagato Taiko joined, he became Zhou Fang Yuxiong's direct descendant. Not only did Nagato Taiko have a seat every time Zhou Fang Yuxiong held a banquet in his magnificent residence, he would also be invited every now and then. Attend the party.

Now that he has become a member of the BURNING department, Taiko Nagato simply made up his mind to make a career under the protection of Zhou Fang Yuxiong-at least a career that can step on the foot of GENZO, a slick boy named Iwahashi.

He is ambitious and actively maintains exchanges with the firm president and company executives who are valued by Zhou Fang Yuxiong.Not only that, Nagato Taiyuki, who was born as a businessman in Kansai, also vaguely foresees that the BURNING family, which is closely related to the Yakuza forces, may be able to make a fortune in the real estate industry in the future.

There is power that can be borrowed, why not borrow it?Nagato Taiko also hopes to have a chance to get a share of the action.It doesn't matter to him whether or not this slice of the pie was taken from ordinary people who were forced to lose their families.

... If you take the wrong path, you will have to bear the due price.

Having such an idea has something to do with Nagato Taiko getting to know people from the Yakuza organization through Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

The Yamaguchi-gumi is the leader of the Goto-gumi, Goto Tadamasa, and he and Ikuo Shuo are brothers who drank the same bowl of wine. Once or twice, at a party at Ikuo Zhou's house, Tadamasa Goto brought cadres to join him.

The Goto-gumi is quite influential in the Yamaguchi-gumi, and this group is also one of the most notorious groups among violent organizations. It blackmails ordinary people and resorts to violence against them. Many cadres in the group are It has a criminal record and even bears its own life. It is an extreme organization that has received the attention of the police.

But even such a Goto group, with the arrival of the new era, has to run its own front-end business. Zhou Fang Yuxiong is Goto Tadomasa's partner.Of course, Zhou Fang Yuxiong is by no means the spokesperson in front of the Jidao organization.To be precise, he is the leader of a Yakuza organization on the table.

When he was a child, in his hometown in Kansai, Nagato Taiyuki once received candies put in his hands by members of the Yakuza when he passed by the office of the Yakuza.The Jidao member smiled at the child, looking amiable.

Now, he is sitting in the same banquet hall with the ruthless extreme leader, having a good time drinking and talking.

At night, when Nagato Taiko was on his way to Zhou Fang Yuxiong's house, he laughed at himself in his heart, like he was the head of a jiudao organization.

Shunichi Baba must also be invited to any party where Taiko Nagato is present.

Whether Zhou Fangyuxiong knew that Baba Shunichi was ambitious for VERMILLION Records, or that Baba Shunichi was appointed as the special manager of VERMILLION Records, just to beat Nagato Taiyuki, Nagato Taiyuki did not know about these.

But he knew in his heart that even though Zhou Fang Yuxiong did not interfere with the management of the BURNING offices, and only asked for confessions from the offices under his protection, VERMILLION records did not apply to this consistent rule.

After all, an entertainment agency can be established at any time, and there are only a few record companies that can really develop. BURNING must fully manage VERMILLION Records, and it is impossible to start another stove.

This also makes Nagato Taiyuki still dare not relax even though he has several popular bands in his hands.

……

Oda Tetsuro pursues a female high school student, of course this matter cannot be hidden from Zhou Fang Yuxiong.Seeing Nagato Taiyuki, Zhou Fang Yuxiong took it as a joke and asked, "Is Oda-kun still infatuated with that little girl?"

Nagato Taiyuki smiled apologetically, "Oda-kun is the kind of person who is certain of something and never relaxes."

"I have already experienced this point." Zhou Fang Yuxiong said lightly.

If you believe in something, it will not change. Since such a single-minded person no longer contributes to VERMILLION records, it is unrealistic to expect him to change his mind.

Nagato Taiko was hit by the story, and he almost couldn't hold back his face.However, Zhou Fang Yuxiong talked about this incident in a nonchalant tone, and he didn't even feel that it was something worthy of attention that Oda Tetsuro would no longer contribute to the VERMILLION record.

"Anyway, if that female high school student wants to debut..." Taiko Nagato chose his words carefully, not only smoothing things over, but also taking the opportunity to test his tone.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong was careless, and interrupted Nagato Taiyuki's hesitation, "When the day comes, let Oda-kun choose a record company he trusts and release the contract, or it will be done."

Asking Tetsuro Oda to choose a record company he trusts is a direct statement of the fact that Tetsuro Oda lacks trust in VERMILLION Records.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong pointed this out so bluntly that Nagato Taiyuki was surprised by this, and subconsciously argued—even for whom he argued, "but in that case, the company's interests will be damaged." A For a singer, signing with his own company and handing over the record contract to another company are of course not the same thing.

"...And this is the second. The most important thing is to let the outside world know that Oda-kun and the company are at odds."

Nagato looked forward and backward, Zhou Fang Yuxiong was a little impatient.

This producer has rich experience and talent, not only that, but he can also be ruthless in places where he should be decisive, otherwise, he would not be the president of the record company, and he would be trusted by Zhou Fangyuxiong.However, Nagato Taiko's biggest shortcoming is that he is too short-sighted and narrow-minded.Myopic personalities, sometimes, can destroy opportunities that have been created.

"So what if the outside world knows?" Zhou Fang Yuxiong asked.

Taiko Nagato closed his mouth, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.He knew that Zhou Fang Yuxiong didn't want him to answer this question.

"It is impossible to have a company that can grow big and last for a long time only by relying on one person. Nagato-san, we should regard the current dependence on Oda-kun as an expedient measure." Zhou Fang Yuxiong said his thoughts.

In fact, Nagato Taiko is also aware of this and has already begun to plan for it.However, there are some things that need to be said by Zhou Fang Yuxiong, so that he can gain more support.An unspoken rule of superiors and subordinates.

"The important thing is to use the time created by Oda-kun to discover new composers and new routes." Zhou Fangyuxiong said here, and praised, "Using Oda-kun's fame to promote other people—— Nagato-san did it right with the two new bands."

Zhou Fang Yuxiong gave instructions to Nagato Taiko, but in fact, Nagato Taiko already knew what he said.

"No matter when, you can't count on the same composer. Even someone like Tsutsumi Kyohei, no record company will think that as long as they get him, they don't need newcomers."

In fact, it is difficult for Tsutsumi Kyohei to write songs after his era has passed, and it will be difficult to sell as well.

Oda Tetsuro, who is in the current situation, may not be in a few years' time.It is one thing when the masses need it, and another thing when the masses turn to new fads.When something is popular in an era, the person who brought it will be praised as a hero.However, if it remains the same, there is no hero who is not old.

In Zhou Fang Yuxiong's eyes, from beginning to end, Oda Tetsuro is just a chess piece that can be used temporarily.Instead of holding on to this chess piece, it is better to make good use of this chess piece when it can create value.When a new fashion is created, this pawn can be discarded at any time.

If I really want to say it, Nagato Taiyuki is stingy and short-sighted, but compared to someone like Zhou Fang Yuxiong, Nagato Taiyuki's stinginess seems cute.

"The president is right." Shunichi Baba echoed from the side.He suddenly mentioned, "Speaking of the new route, isn't that Iwahashi-san from GENZO going to make a dance music group now?" He is a solo singer and a dance music group, and Shin Iwahashi is constantly on the stage. toss.Not only that, but it really made every step he took come alive.

However, when Ma Changjun mentioned this matter, he thought of something else.Long before Komuro Tetsuya and Iwahashi Shinichi came together, Komuro Tetsuya had been in contact with the BURNING department.However, at the time when the band was hot, Zhou Fangyuxiong failed to attack GENZO, and wanted to annex Nagato Taiyuki's BEING.Therefore, Shunichi Baba, who had secretly had contact with Tetsuya Komuro, put the seemingly whimsical musician aside and devoted all his energy to the annexation of BEING.

The current Tetsuya Komuro has become a figure under Shinichi Iwahashi.Missing a big fish, Baba Shunichi will naturally rot this matter in his stomach.However, now that he took the initiative to talk about this matter, he might be trying to test Zhou Fang Yuxiong's views on the cooperation between Iwahashi Shinichi and Komuro Tetsuya.

"Genzo's rock bridge?" Zhou Fang Yuxiong was thoughtful.

Also started as a production company, and then opened a record company. Compared with Shinichi Iwahashi, Nagato Taiyuki can only be regarded as second-rate.However, Nagato Taiko is a person who can be used for himself.

As soon as Baba Shun mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi, Nagato Taiyuki's heart moved, and he remembered the idea of ​​sowing discord that he had come up with.He looked eagerly at Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

However, Zhou Fangyuxiong was playing with the wine glass in his hand, and seemed to be lost in thought.

What Zhou Fang Yuxiong thought of was not the cooperation between Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro, but an incident some time ago.The editor-in-chief of a magazine closely related to BURNING, when accepting Zhou Fangyuxiong's hospitality, mentioned that someone broke the news to their magazine, saying that the giraffe man in DREAMS COME TRUE was played by Iwahashi-san from GENZO.

The editor-in-chief didn't regard this as a great event, but he also felt that it was a bit strange that someone suddenly appeared and broke the news.

Even Zhou Fang Yuxiong was curious about this.

At that time, the editor-in-chief said in a reasonable tone, "Here, tell him that it is impossible to publish such speculative revelations. ... This is how I rejected it."

No matter whether Iwahashi Shinichi is the giraffe man of DREAMS COME TRUE or not, he is now a big shot in the entertainment industry and cannot be easily offended.And DREAMS COME TRUE is the signature band of Sony Records. If anyone puts his mind on the band, Sony must not let it go easily.

More importantly, "Band Paradise" has gone out to so many bands, if it demolishes Shinichi Iwahashi's station, it will offend the industry.If a weekly magazine offends the power of the industry and is next banned by the industry from accepting interview and shooting invitations from the magazine to which the magazine belongs, it will suffer a solid meal.

For a magazine, it is possible to offend a single star, but it is absolutely impossible to directly challenge the industry.

This is why Zhou Fang Yuxiong was curious about this matter.

Shinichi Iwahashi is the giraffe man from DREAMS COME TRUE.People with a little status in the industry knew about this matter, so naturally they couldn't hide it from Zhou Fangyuxiong.

But, as the editor-in-chief feared, no one was going to debunk the mystery.At the beginning, Zhou Fang Yuxiong used "Weekly Bunshun" to attack Shinichi Iwahashi, and made various excuses in the article, but he didn't dare to mention the secret of the giraffe man.

This kind of unspoken rule in the industry, at this moment, a person who appeared suddenly wanted to attack it, and the method he used was to break the news to the weekly magazine.

This only shows that the person who broke the news is not from the entertainment industry.

Perhaps it was an ordinary person who accidentally discovered this matter and wanted to break the news to earn some extra money. Unfortunately, his discovery touched the taboo of the industry.
