"So, Shinichi-san took over the band and acted as an agent for them?" asked Miwa Yoshida absent-mindedly as she bit a straw at a café near the LIVEHOUSE where she sang.

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

"Exactly," he said, "you're going to tour soon, and I'll be able to find something for myself to do." Otherwise, after half a year, there will be no club people who remember who I am. ”

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

"In short, I hope that I will come back in half a year, and Shen Yisang's heart will not be robbed by the new band. Still, she voiced her inner concerns.

When Iwahashi heard this, he said to her, "I thought I was the only one who could say this. You've seen the big scene, and you've forgotten about me, a crappy agent. ”

"If Shen Yisang is a crappy agent, then I will be a wild girl in the countryside. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "At least until I can eat a full meal of shark fin soup for 9,500 yen each, I'll put you first." ”

Miwa Yoshida smiled, "If you say that, I'll be relieved." ”

The stalk of shark fin soup comes from a certain time when I was performing at a LIVEHOUSE, and the person in charge ordered a supper at a Chinese restaurant in Shimbashi for everyone to eat. In the attached brochure with the restaurant's menu, shark fin soup is 9,500 yen each.

"Nine thousand five hundred yen a piece. ”

Miwa Yoshida was obsessed with this number until the end of their performance, and on the way back, he still hung his mouth.

"Although it is okay to live an ordinary life, the thought that there are so many good things in the world that cannot be enjoyed to the fullest suddenly makes it difficult to calm down. She said this to Iwahashi as if she was expressing her feelings.

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

But Miwa Yoshida shook her head, "Don't." ”

"Even if you really want to eat, you have to wait until I can make a lot of money on my side. She said to him a little slyly.

Listen, this is like the tone of a rich woman who wants to support a little white face.

"Besides," she said, "even if it's shark fin soup, it's not really unaffordable to save a little and eat it once." But if you eat it once, you will be hungry for a long time, eating a simple meal of 250 yen, and you are still reminiscing about shark fin soup, just thinking about that kind of thing will make you cry. ”

"In other words," Shinichi Iwahashi understood, "don't do more than you can do, do you?"

"Bingo," Miwa Yoshida nodded, "So, you can't do it without trying." ”

In this regard, the two of them are quite sober, although from the outside, they may feel a little childish. Especially after getting along for a long time, knowing that Miwa Yoshida doesn't even use a credit card, Shinichi Iwahashi looks at her differently.

Credit cards first appeared in RB in 1960, and now at the beginning of 1986, over the years, the number of credit cards issued by various institutions has reached nearly 90 million, and there are more than a dozen credit cards in hand, and there are many kanu who live to pay off debts. A well-dressed young man driving a sports car may be saddled with millions of yen in debt.

In this era, because of the rapid economic growth, all kinds of intelligence magazines and TV programs that teach people to consume are emerging in an endless stream.

What gifts to give at Christmas, which restaurant to go to on a date, which ones to do if you don't know how to play golf are dirt buns, which investment prospects are promising, and which stocks will rise sharply if you buy them.

It's a pity if you don't travel anywhere, what bags do girls want, what watches do boys have, what apartments do people live in, how to match clothes, and this 9,500 yen shark fin soup that will be regrettable if you don't taste it.

Every kind of information shines with a seductive light.

If you pursue this information, your heart will become impetuous. If others have it and you don't, how regretful and unwilling it is-

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

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

At first, I borrowed a credit card, and after tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, I went to borrow loan sharks from financial companies, until it became the worst situation, because I couldn't pay off the money, I was harassed and threatened by the debt collection company every day, and finally I went to work as a wine lady to make quick money.

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

How to say it, the history is strikingly similar.

In the era of his previous life, the country was also full of all kinds of traps of advanced 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 network information was extremely developed, and the consumer information that the public was exposed to was more comprehensive and complex.

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

In his previous life, it was common to compare the current era with the era of the RB bubble.

Last year, just three months or so after the crossing, he saw on TV that RB had signed a Plaza Accord with his rice daddy and European uncles, and then the yen began to appreciate, and it rose day by day.

The yen is worth a lot of money, and it is very suitable for the situation, and all kinds of foreign trips, teaching you where to write "come here", and where to buy and buy the strategy has also come out.

In the future, when RB people complain about Chinese tourists who travel thousands of miles to buy and buy, I hope they will not forget themselves who spit abroad and cut in line, sweeping the Champs-Élysées and Fifth Avenue.

Iwahashi Shinichi is not a knowledgeable traverser, so he also knows one thing, and that is that the bubble era of RB was caused by the signing of the Plaza Agreement.

Although I don't know much about the specific situation, the general situation in China at that time was that stocks were bought and rose, and housing prices were so high that people across the country liked to be house slaves - and then there was a "snap", the bubble burst, and the people who went bankrupt and jumped off the building were like dumplings.

People in a foreign country still have a bit of a prophetic advantage, although they only know a rough outline.

But here's the problem, knowing that house prices will rise sharply, stocks will make a lot of money, as long as you can get out of the bubble before it bursts, you can make a fortune - what are you going to buy, buy, buy?

No matter what dreams he had in his heart, when he thought of the key links, the old man Fukuzawa Yukichi would pick it out and point at him, "Don't dream! Victory and defeat belong to the elite of Keio Juku who enshrine my statue!"

Phew!

Okay, he'll go down to earth first, and we'll talk about it now.

Or it is said that the first step of starting a business is the most difficult, and it is easy to take a big snowball and roll a bigger snowball. Even if he is an agent now and has a low starting point, he can only mix in the club now.

What sings a song and becomes a blockbuster or something, first of all, this era will not work, and secondly, the national conditions are different.

Even in the later Internet era, because RB's TV stations were controlled by established conglomerates, in order to resist the impact of the Internet, they had to limit the frequency of Internet celebrities participating in TV programs.

At this time, Miwa Yoshida spoke again, "That's right, Shin Yi-san." There's something to tell you. ”

"What?"

"Next Saturday, Buschminsang's office will hold a pre-tour kick-off party for him. ”

"Oh. ”

"And then," she said, "I was invited to attend." ”
