Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 695 I am the boss, I have the final say!
Although the three of Masashi Sada, Shinji Tanimura and Ryoko Moriyama are truly talented singers and composers, coupled with the cheating player Cao Zhiqiang, they are definitely a golden combination.

But after all, they had never collaborated before, so it was not until the sun went down that they finally finished the song "Viva la Vida" that Cao Zhiqiang copied from Coldplay in his previous life to a relatively satisfactory degree.

The relative satisfaction here is not Cao Zhiqiang's satisfaction, but the satisfaction of the other three.

In fact, if we just look at Cao Zhiqiang's meaning, he thinks that only three people need to coordinate the instruments well so that Cao Zhiqiang can sing the song completely.

But Masashi Sada, Shinji Tanimura and Ryoko Moriyama obviously don’t think so.

They feel that this song is majestic and rich in connotation, and they should strive for excellence and perfection.

In this way, they rehearsed over and over again, using various harmonies and coordination, hoping to find the most satisfying song.

Finally, after many discussions and rehearsals, they finally came up with a chorus that satisfied everyone.

Yes, it’s the chorus.

It’s just Cao Zhiqiang singing the lead and others singing backup.

In this chorus version, in addition to Cao Zhiqiang singing the lead and others singing accompaniment, everyone's instruments have also been changed.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang, the original lead guitarist, was changed to the lead violinist, then the assistant violinist was Masashi Sada, the keyboard player was Shinji Tanimura, and the drummer was still Ryoko Moriyama.

In this way, the main instrument of this song becomes the violin, and the secondary instruments become the electronic keyboard and drums.

Needless to say, this kind of change is indeed more exciting. It not only has strong modern elements, but also has a sense of history.

When everyone collaborated perfectly on this song, they were all sweating profusely and smiling knowingly, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

Yes, when we collaborate on a good song, once the collaboration is successful, there is that hearty feeling.

It’s no wonder that Masashi Sada brought in two veterans of the Japanese singing industry, Shinji Tanimura and Ryoko Moriyama, with only one song and a demo. It’s the song itself that Cao Zhiqiang gave that is so attractive.

When everyone finished recording the song and walked out of the studio, preparing to have dinner together, Cao Zhiqiang discovered that Tianhai Yuxi was still here.

"Eh? Tianhai Yuxi?" Cao Zhiqiang asked in surprise, "Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to go back? Could it be that my assistant didn't send you off?"

"No!" Amami Yuki shook his head quickly, "Well, I wanted to learn more and watch you rehearse, so I stayed."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "What about your mother? Is she here too?"

"No, she has already gone back early." Tianhai Yuxi said with a smile.

At this moment, Moriyama Ryoko suddenly smiled and said: "Wow, what a handsome girl! Cao Sang, is this your girlfriend?"

"Of course not!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand quickly, "She is one of my contracted artists, not my girlfriend."

"Understood." Moriyama Ryoko said with a smile, "But it's so late, you have to send this little girl home first!"

Speaking of this, Moriyama Ryoko didn't wait for Cao Zhiqiang to reply, and said directly to Tanimura Shinji and Sada Masashi: "Hey, why don't we disturb others tonight and let's go have a drink and dinner by ourselves, okay? Otherwise, take Cao with you If we go with Sang, he is not old enough to drink, which would be too disappointing."

After Moriyama Ryoko shouted, Tanimura Shinji smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "That's right, then let's do it."

Masashi Sada blinked, looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and then at Yuki Amami. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he shook his head and patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder gently: "Well, it's late, you send people back. That’s fine, but you still have to pay attention to the impact and don’t go too far, you know what I’m talking about.”

After saying that, Masashi Sada patted Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder again, and then left with Ryoko Moriyama and Shinji Tanimura.

After these people left, the two sound recordists also nodded to Cao Zhiqiang and Tianhai Yuxi very discerningly, and then filed away.

Now, only Cao Zhiqiang and Tianhai Yuxi were left at the scene, and the scene was a bit awkward.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang collected his thoughts and said seriously: "Let's go, I will take you home."

Yuki Amami, who was biting his lip, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Go home? Now?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "What else?"

"But I don't want to go back so early." Tianhai Yuxi blinked, "How about you treat me to a meal."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and was about to refuse, but then he thought, wasn't this a good opportunity to spend money on her?
Anyway, he is going back to his country soon. When he returns to his country, he doesn’t know that he will be able to meet her in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, and he also doesn’t know that he will be able to give her money in the Year of the Monkey.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Well, in that case, I'll treat you to kaiseki cuisine!"

Yuki Amami was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "No, just eat ramen, no need to bother."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "How can that be alright? It's so late and I have to treat you to a delicious meal. Well, just think that I want to eat and borrow your money...Okay, that's it. Let's go quickly. , go have a big dinner!”

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang left without saying a word.

"Wait for me!" Tianhai Yuxi quickly followed.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang took Yuki Amami to the high-end Japanese restaurant where Zhu Lin went last time and had a kaiseki meal worth 200 million yen.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to eat more expensive food, but the menu of this restaurant changes every day. Sometimes if there are expensive ingredients, there will be particularly expensive dishes. But if there happen to be no expensive ingredients, the price of the food will naturally change. Get cheaper.

Unfortunately, when Cao Zhiqiang came this time, the store had almost run out of high-end ingredients, so he could only cook some meals with relatively ordinary ingredients.

Another one is that you can’t drink alcohol.

In fact, if you can drink alcohol, the price can double in minutes.

After all, many specific high-end sakes are very expensive.

But the problem is that both Cao Zhiqiang and Tianhai Youxi are under 20 years old.

Japanese law stipulates that those under the age of 20 cannot drink alcohol.

Even though people generally don't ask your age, either Cao Zhiqiang or Tianhai Yuxi are too young. They look like minors at first glance. They can't pretend to be 20 years old.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he didn't want to break the law for this matter, not to mention he didn't want to drink.

Firstly, he doesn't like drinking, and secondly, he is afraid that drinking will cause trouble.

So just don’t order wine, just drinks.

But even if the price of this meal is relatively ordinary, it is only for consumption in this store.

In fact, the price of a meal at 200 million yen is quite expensive.

You know, many Japanese who have just started working may not earn 200 million yen a year.

Even a rich second generation like Amami Yuki felt that this meal was a bit luxurious.

However, considering that this was the first time Cao Zhiqiang treated himself to dinner, and considering that Cao Zhiqiang was now a famous singer and had a high income, he felt relieved.

While eating, Tianhai Yuxi looked very happy. It seemed that being able to eat alone with Cao Zhiqiang like this was the greatest satisfaction.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't have many ideas. It was really a feast of eating and drinking.

Not to mention, this so-called high-end kaiseki cuisine is indeed delicious.

In addition, the environment here is elegant, and the elementary school is still floating in the sky. Everyone can enjoy the snow and eat at the same time, and the feeling will be there immediately.

After eating and drinking, Cao Zhiqiang went back to his old tricks and took Tianhai Yuxi to Ginza, starting the shopping mode.

The reason was lame, saying it was the company's investment in the artist.

Of course Tianhai Yuxi didn't believe such a lame reason, but she thought it was Cao Zhiqiang who was showing kindness to her, but she was embarrassed because of her tender face, so she accepted it with a smile.

Not to mention, in terms of simply accepting gifts, Tianhai Youxi is much more generous than Zhu Lin. There is no such thing as too expensive to buy.

On the contrary, Tianhai Youxi always accepts everyone who comes. Anyway, she accepts whatever Cao Zhiqiang gives her.This is not because Tianhai Youxi worships money and takes Cao Zhiqiang as his scapegoat, but because Tianhai Youxi feels that if they become a family in the future, then what is hers is his, and there is no need to distinguish it too clearly.

Well, Amami Yuki is now starting to enjoy life after marriage. She is indeed an age that loves to dream.

Just like that, after seeing that Tianhai Youxi was not so coy, Cao Zhiqiang was really overjoyed. It's worth buying whatever you want.

There are all kinds of brand-name bags, brand-name watches, fur shoes and gloves.

That's nothing, what's even more outrageous is that Cao Zhiqiang found that Tianhai Youxi was so easy to talk to, and he became more and more aggressive.

Brand-name bags and clothes couldn't satisfy him anymore. He actually took Tianhai Yuxi directly to a real estate agency that was still in business to buy a house for Tianhai Yuxi.

Yes, just buy a house.

When it comes to spending money, of course it is buying a car or a house.

Buying a car is not suitable for the time being. After all, Yuxi Tianhai can't drive, and secondly, she is still studying in the UK, so it is not convenient for her to drive.

If you can’t buy a car, you can only buy a house.

If you were in China, you wouldn’t want to buy a house this late at night.

But it's different in Japan.

In Japan in the 80s, the service industry was very developed, and many real estate agencies did not get off work until nine o'clock in the evening.

This is because most Japanese people at this time are busy with work during the day, and only have plenty of time at night.

Therefore, in Japan in the 80s, viewing houses at night became popular.

Moreover, looking at houses at night not only does not delay work time, but is also very interesting.

Of course, that's about it.

Because during this period, Japanese real estate was at its hottest.

If it was after the Japanese economic bubble burst in the 90s, housing agents at that time would rarely work so hard. Most would get off work on time and would not stay up late or work overtime.

However, Tianhai Youxi was still shocked when he heard that Cao Zhiqiang wanted to buy himself a house.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Zhiqiang, you, what are you doing?"

"Of course I will buy you a house!" Cao Zhiqiang said matter-of-factly, "Didn't I mention it to you before?"

"I thought you were kidding me!" Tianhai Yuxi frowned.

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "Sorry, I never joke about this kind of thing."

Immediately afterwards, seeing that Tianhai Youxi wanted to speak, Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand and said forcefully:

"Okay, stop talking. Since you are my artist now, then be obedient and don't contradict me!
You know, I am the boss, I have the final say! "

Yuki Amami was stunned for a moment, but still curled her lips with pretense of disdain: "Okay, whatever you want...Boss!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and then said to the real estate agent: "In this case, please introduce to me the most expensive apartments."

Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, the young man in a suit, the real estate agent, immediately bowed very respectfully, then took the photo album in his hand and continued to introduce Cao Zhiqiang.

Yes, during this period, real estate agents usually used photo albums to introduce houses to people.

After all, this is not the digital age yet. When introducing a house to someone, real estate agents usually take photos of the house first, then develop the photos, put them in albums and mark them, and then when the guests come, they introduce the photos to the guests so that the guests can Have a general understanding.

In other words, using pictures to introduce a house has been very popular long before the advent of the digital age.

Needless to say, such an introduction is indeed relatively straightforward.

In addition to taking photos of the interior and exterior of the house, there is also a map to show the guests.

Looking at the map is mainly to give guests an intuitive understanding of the location of the house.

After all, the most valuable part of a house is its location.

In fact, the real estate agency Cao Zhiqiang found was of average strength and did not have any particularly top-notch luxury homes.

However, there are indeed some pretty good houses.

The villa is excluded first. The price of this kind of house is not a problem. The key is that it is difficult to take care of.

After all, Amami Yuki wants to study in the UK and cannot live in Tokyo all day, so it is not suitable to buy a villa. It is best to buy an apartment, so that you can find someone to clean it regularly. This is another expense, not bad.

Although you can find someone to clean the villa, the safety of the villa is worrying. If you don't live there for a long time, it is easy for problems to occur and some people will occupy the magpie's nest.

Apartments are different. Apartments generally have security personnel and security doors, which provide better security.

As long as you find a good housekeeping company, the apartment will at least not be easily occupied by someone secretly for a long time.

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang chose an apartment in a high-end residential area in the Akasaka area of ​​Minato City.

The apartment was a small high-rise with one staircase and one apartment. The house was on the 12th floor and the area was 60 square meters.

When buying a house in Japan, the area is generally measured in square meters.

One square meter is approximately equal to 3.3 square meters.

In other words, a house of 60 square meters is roughly equivalent to 198 square meters.

This area is definitely considered a luxury property in a place like Tokyo's Minato Ward where land is at a premium.

Since it is a luxury home, the price is certainly not cheap.

One price, 8000 million yen!

8000 million yen, which is approximately equivalent to 40 yen per square meter.

If this price were placed in 2023, it would be so cheap that it would explode.

But this is 1983!
In 1983, the average house price in Japan was 11 yen per square meter. Even in Tokyo, it generally did not exceed 30 yen per square meter.

However, a good house in a good location is naturally more expensive. 40 yen per square meter is actually a good deal.

Of course, what they want is cash, not a loan, but this is different.

Nowadays, there are really not many people who can take out 8000 million yen in cash at once.

But Cao Zhiqiang happens to be someone who is not short of cash.

Because he doesn't have to spend his own money.

As long as you spend money on the love angel recognized by the system, you can use the love fund.

But then again.

A luxury house in Tokyo's Minato District only costs 8000 million yen in total. Cao Zhiqiang also spent 8000 million yen in one go on buying clothes and bags for Zhu Lin.

A pile of clothes, bags, etc., can actually compare to a mansion in the port area?
Hey, something seems wrong.
