Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 41 041. The Age of Bubble
"So, Shinichi-sang took over this band and acted as their manager?" Miwa Yoshida asked absentmindedly, biting a straw in the cafe near the LIVEHOUSE where they were singing.

"Let's try it first, it's a 'trial period' now." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, since he is still the captain of DREAMS COME TRUE, it is necessary to report this to his partner.

"It's just right," he said, "you're going to tour soon, and I can find something to do for myself. Otherwise, after half a year, no one in the club will remember who I am."

"Oh." Yoshida Miwa took a sip of lemon juice, probably from being sour, and frowned.

"In short, I hope that when I come back in half a year, Shen Yisang's heart will not be taken away by the new band." She still expressed her inner worries.

Iwahashi Shinichi heard it and said to her, "I thought I was the only one who could say this. You went to see the big scene, and you forgot my crappy agent."

"If Shen Yi-sang is a crappy agent, then I'll be a country girl."

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "At least until I can fully feast on the [-] yen shark fin soup, I will put you first."

Yoshida Miwa also smiled, "If I say that, I can rest assured."

The stalk of shark fin soup comes from a certain performance in LIVEHOUSE, the person in charge ordered a late-night snack at the Chinese restaurant in Shimbashi to invite everyone in the performance to eat.In the accompanying brochure with the restaurant's dishes, the signboard is [-] yen per serving of shark fin soup.

"[-] yen each."

Yoshida Miwa was brooding about this number until the end of their performance, and they were still talking about it on the way back.

"Although it's okay to live an ordinary life, but thinking that there are so many good things in the world that you can't enjoy to the fullest, it suddenly becomes difficult to calm down." She said to Iwahashi Shinichi as if she was expressing her feelings.

"If I can sign a record company one day, I'll treat you to one." Iwahashi Shinichi promised her.

But Yoshida Miwa shook her head, "No."

"Even if you really want to eat, you have to wait until you can earn a lot of money from me." She said to him a little slyly.

Listen, it seems like the rich woman's tone of voice is to take care of the little white face.

"Besides," she said convincingly, "Even if it's something like shark's fin soup, if you save a little, it's not really unaffordable to eat it once. But if you eat it once, you'll be hungry for a long time, eating 250 Simple meals in Japanese yen, and shark fin soup in my heart, just thinking about that kind of thing is so tragic that I want to cry."

"In other words," Iwahashi Shinichi understood, "don't do anything beyond your ability, right?"

"Bingo," Yoshida Miwa nodded, "so, you can't do it if you don't work hard."

As far as this is concerned, the two of them are still quite sober, although from the outside, they may feel a little petty.Especially after getting along for a long time, knowing that Yoshida Miwa doesn't even need a credit card, Iwahashi Shinichi looks at her in a different way.

The credit card first appeared in RB in 1960. Until the beginning of 1986, over the years, the number of credit cards issued by various institutions has reached nearly 9000 million. With more than a dozen credit cards in hand, card slaves are living to repay debts. abound.A well-dressed young man driving a sports car may be burdened with several million yen in debt.

In this era, because of the rapid economic growth, various intelligence magazines and TV programs that teach people to consume are emerging one after another.

What to get for Christmas, which restaurant to go to on a date, what to do if you can't play golf, what kind of investment looks promising, what stock to buy is going to go up.

It would be a pity if you don’t travel anywhere, what bags should girls have, what watches should boys have, what apartment should a romantic person live in, how should the clothes be matched, and the [-] yen will not be tasted. Sorry for the shark fin soup.

Every piece of information shines with seductive light.

If you pursue such information, your heart will become impetuous.If others have it and I don't have it, how regrettable and unwilling--

That's when credit card companies and financial companies that offer unsecured loans reach out.

Iwahashi Shinichi worked in a nightclub, and knew where some of the escort ladies came from.

In the beginning, I borrowed a credit card. After I could not pay the money, I went to borrow usury loans from financial companies until it became the worst situation. I was harassed and threatened by the debt collection company every day because I couldn’t pay the money. Finally, I went to be an escort. The wine lady makes quick money.

As long as you become a escort lady, even if you have the opportunity to pay off the money in the future, you will not be able to adapt to the mode of ordinary work.

How to say, the history is strikingly similar.

In the era when he lived in his last life, there were all kinds of traps in the country for excessive consumption, and people who were forced to commit suicide, commit crimes, and be sold were everywhere.

What is even more "miserable" than the current RB young people is that in that era, the Internet information was extremely developed, and the consumer information that the public was exposed to was more comprehensive and complex.

Iwahashi Shin is not ignorant of RB, although he knows very little.

In the era he lived in in his last life, people often compared the current era to the bubble era of RB.

Last year, about three months ago, he saw on TV the news that RB had signed the Plaza Accord with its American fathers and European uncles, and then the yen began to appreciate, and it was as high as a day.

The yen is very valuable, and it is very suitable for various foreign trips. It teaches you where to go to write "visit here", and the strategy for where to buy and buy is also followed.

In the future, when RB people complain about Chinese tourists who travel all the way to buy, buy and buy, I hope they will not forget their own spitting and jumping in line abroad, sweeping the Champs-Elysees and Fifth Avenue.

Iwahashi Shinichi is not an ignorant traveler, so he also knows one thing, that is, the cause of RB's bubble era was the signing of the Plaza Accord.

Although the specific situation is not well understood, the general situation in the country at that time was that stocks went up and down, and the housing price was so high that people all over the country wanted to be house slaves—then with a bang, the bubble burst, and people who went bankrupt and jumped off the building followed the dumplings. similar.

People in a foreign country still have the advantage of being a prophet, although they only know a general outline.

But here comes the question. Knowing that house prices will soar and stocks will make huge profits, as long as you can get out before the bubble bursts, you can make a fortune-what are you going to buy?
No matter what dreams he has in his heart, when he thinks of the key points, Fukuzawa Yukichi will pick out and point at him and say, "Stop dreaming! Victory and defeat belong to the elites of Keio, who enshrines my statue. !"

I bother!

All right, he will go ahead and talk about it now.

Otherwise, it is said that the first step of starting a business is the hardest, but it is easy to roll a bigger snowball with a big snowball.Even if he is an agent now, with a low starting point, he can only play in the club now.

What sings a blockbuster and so on, first of all, this era will not work, and then the national conditions are different.

Even in the Internet era of later generations, because RB's TV station is controlled by an established consortium, in order to resist the impact of the Internet, the frequency of Internet celebrities' participation in TV programs must be limited.

At this time, Yoshida Miwa spoke again, "By the way, Shinichi-san. I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"Next Saturday, Fushi Mingsang's office will hold a pre-tour mobilization party for him."

"Oh."

"And then," she said, "I was invited too."
