Chapter 36 Uninvited Guest
Modern people should align themselves with materialism the most, because there is no existence that is colder, more ruthless, and more willful than materialism, and it will never be manipulated by human sensibility. Materialists are probably also the least likely to be manipulated by other people.
Theoretical thought hypnosis, brainwashing people.
Therefore, when Kawasaki was painting, he was unknowingly sketching out the consciousness of materialism, trying to make himself indifferent and insensitive. Only when facing money, was he willing to open his heart and smile like a flatterer.
p>
Materialism is originally an illegitimate child derived from the prejudice that "money is everything" in the bubble era. Therefore, Narita Masaru believes that "the existence of interest is natural" and it will not make him feel guilty.
He has his own set of rules of conduct. Whether he is saying that he wants to buy Kawasaki's paintings, introducing Kawasaki to his office for help, or encouraging Kawasaki to register a company, nothing touches the red line.
.As for why this poor guy is Kawasaki, I can only say that he deserves it.
There is a dark side in any ideal society. If there is no darkness and squalor, there will also be a certain degree of subjective and unfortunate equality. Sometimes non-moral issues that cannot be solved through legitimate means are dealt with by dark means.
A legitimate defense to restore social equality and happiness.
Since the "former Chinese" represented by Kawasaki have not been completely liquidated, giving them the so-called final glory now is to make them completely fall into the abyss and unable to extricate themselves.
Falling in love with the Chinese first and then abandoning them will be a great victory that ordinary people can achieve. When they fall in love with the old splendor and materiality, help them sincerely, and wait until they fall in love with ordinary people spiritually and become completely dependent on them.
When the time comes, you can resolutely abandon them.
Narita Masaru is very clear about his position. He knows that if he competes head-on with the "big shots", he will only be beaten to death on the solid rock wall of society. So he must firmly believe that there must be a detour from the back.
Shortcut to travel.
When he stepped here, Kawasaki was dejected. When he left here with a verbal check, Kawasaki was as happy as a child who got a reward from the teacher.
"Although Kawasaki is poor, he is an ambitious artist. I admire him." Narita Masaru personally sent Kawasaki away. Afterwards, he returned to the office of the office, made himself a cup of hot tea, and said to Fujimura Yoriko with a smile.<
/p>
"Now Count Kawasaki is a piece of fat neatly placed on the chopping board, just waiting for the final cut." The first step of the Roppongi development plan has been completed, but Fujimura Yoriko remains calm as usual. Whether the plan will change, she has no idea.
Care, as Narita Katsu said, must believe in Kawasaki's "talent".
"Do you have any clues about what troubled Lai Zisan before? How much is Bank of Mitsubishi willing to give?"
"If we mortgage Dajun's assets, then the loan we can get is this amount," Fujimura Yoriko raised three fingers and continued: "Then in this way, we include interest and loans, as well as the cost of starting Dajun.
, it will be completely repaid at least after next year.”
Narita Masaru is silent.
Risky?
If you are not careful, you will be in debt
But on the eve of the bubble era, taking risks is the biggest no-risk.
"Optimistically, I think it will only take a year and a half at most to repay all the debts and recover the costs." Fujimura Yoriko deliberately let it slip. The reason why the answer was not revealed at the beginning was to give Narita Masaru a warning.
, dancing on the edge of the cliff is already the limit. If you continue to gamble, I may fall to pieces.
It's enough to hear this sentence. Among Narita Masaru's team, she is the only lawyer Fujimura Yoriko who is so sharp and to the point.
"The next step is to follow the steps and wait for the good news. Thanks to Raiko-san, it's been really hard lately." Narita Masaru stood up and saw that it was getting late, so he planned to go back to Azabu Juban to see how the preparations for the Maharaja's Valentine's Day limited performance were going.
.
Fujimura Yoriko put down the tea cup he was holding and called to Narita Masaru, "Manager-san, you are in the Maharaja's office. What is on the table is the Giri chocolate I gave you. It has been causing you trouble.
”
"After experiencing a neglected Valentine's Day, I realized that I would be very grateful if I could receive chocolates from everyone. In the days to come, I will enjoy Raiko-san's chocolates." Narita Masaru said this in a relaxed tone, as if
Everything comes naturally from the heart.
……
The dark place with a Valentine's Day theme is naturally set for that night.
If there is any kind of music suitable for listening to on this day, Narita Masaru feels that CityPop is the one that deserves the most. This kind of music full of a sense of loss originates from the golden age of the late Showa era, including psychedelic synthesizers, funk melodies, distorted
Saxophone and other elements.
In the 1970s, Hosono Haruomi and Yamashita Tatsuro created Citypop, and when Citypop really began to take off, it was in the highly prosperous and confident era of the 1980s. Starting in 1982, a large number of musicians focused on this field, such as Hiroko Yakushimaru,
Momoko Kikuchi and Miho Nakayama’s frontline idol also followed this trend.
As soon as this kind of music is played, the first thing that comes to people's minds is retro speed cars, summer beaches, and holiday scenery. These impressions that flood the mind are not exactly in line with what lovers in love want to do when they forget that the whole world is immersed in love.
?
What's more, the lyrics of most Citypop songs are so ambiguous that they can make people blush, making it easy to get confused and fall in love. If you are not careful, you may be able to form a couple.
He was originally concentrating on reading information on his desk, but his brain was severely overdrawn. Narita Masaru fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already past 10:30 in the evening. At this time, the Maharaja was the most popular person of the day.
moment.
It's almost Valentine's Day, and compared to January when there are fewer people, it seems much more crowded, and there are quite a lot of people on the dance floor.
The rising and lowering light ball rotates tirelessly, with red, purple and orange intertwined, making it difficult to see the faces of his companions. The news that the idols attended the Christmas performance last year gradually spread, and the Maharaja attracted the attention of many star-chasing girls.
Come and visit us."
As Narita Masaru understands, the so-called "star chasing girls" are also divided into two groups.
One group consists of star-chasing girls who are loved by men, and the other group consists of star-chasing girls who are not liked by men.
These girls who are not liked by men, no matter where they chase stars, even in faraway places such as Paris and New York, they have to pay for their own transportation and hotel expenses. Of course, they also pay for their own tickets. In addition, they pay for their idols
They send flowers, clothes, gifts, or even buy a house. At most, they just want their idol to shake hands and take a photo with them.
What’s even more surprising is that these star-chasing girls are very in love. After the new century, when the idol superstars of the 1980s are no longer young, their concerts and dinner shows are still sold out. Fans sitting in the audience
, has also changed from a green girl to a middle-aged woman over fifty.
But that crazy enthusiasm is still as good as before.
While patrolling the dance floor, Narita Sheng heard several young women mention idols at the same time, but he still had to repeat the same old story. The power of idols is really powerful.
"Have you heard? Akina Nakamori and Kyoko Koizumi came here to watch performances!"
"It was published in the newspaper! It is said that the performance was very good. During this time, I like the band Plaid very much. I wonder if I can meet the lead singer Fujii Yuya-kun here. Or maybe Yoshikawa Koji-kun!"
"I think too much. How can other idols have so much time to come and dance? Besides, haven't you watched the recent variety shows? Kyoko-chan said that after every program recording, if it is already very late, she will come to Roppongi to dance.
At dawn, go back to work. We came so early tonight, and we don’t know how long it will take to see them."
"Forget it, if you want to meet your idol by chance, you might as well drink one more glass of wine."
Listening to these young people chatting, Narita Sheng unknowingly contracted some habits that young people should have. His overloaded brain was injected with some vitality. It seemed that dancing with the guests was also a good choice.<
/p>
It just so happens that the DJ playing tonight is Maria Takeuchi's "Plastic Love", which was released in the spring of 1984 and is the most widely circulated and famous song in Citypop.
Compared with the fast-paced disco song just now, Takeuchi Maria's song is quite suitable for people with little physical strength like Narita Masaru to dance to.
Suddenly, when people on the dance floor were in high spirits, Narita Masaru turned his head and saw an uninvited guest, dancing passionately next to an unfamiliar woman.
"Mahiko Kondo."
