Chapter 120 That's Money
After hanging up the phone, Nakajima Hiroshi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
My brain raced, analyzing the current situation and potential solutions.
If you were Kuroda Karito, how would you cause trouble?
On the day of the performance, the collaborating artists were removed, leaving the venue completely empty.
Or the performers come and make a mess of the show.
The equipment, the audience, and the backstage can all be tampered with.
After that, Itomori-ya's legal department may soon come to hold them accountable with the contract.
Furthermore, the fact that the person in charge was replaced without the other party's knowledge indicates that Kuroda has already secured the rights to organize the performance.
As a result, the artists, the home crowd, and even the betting companies have all lost ground.
Should we still go to this performance?
Ok……
Running away is definitely not an option.
Since the other party has made it clear that they want to target me, if I don't go, they will definitely use this incident to attack me, and the firm may not be able to continue operating.
The contract wasn't signed for nothing.
Once this thing is stamped, even in the worst-case scenario, breaking the promise would be a huge loss.
We must respond appropriately and avoid chaos.
He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anxiety.
First, they borrowed artists.
"Ms. Shiraishi, could you come here for a moment?"
(...Did he really change his mind?)
Yu Shiraishi is worried about the scandals involving celebrities with negative press.
"Something's gotten into trouble, those celebrities with scandals of yours..."
"If it's difficult, that's okay."
(really.)
(Most likely, it's because he can't get past the boss, sigh!)
(Never mind, since it's a branch of a large platform, Nakajima Hiroshi will also have his limitations.)
"No, I need it urgently."
"Contact us immediately. Approximately how many people are involved?"
(ha?)
"Um, let me talk to them. The specific situation is..."
"It's like a performance by Itomoriya. You buy tickets in advance and wait for the show to start. In addition, most of the time, the performers need to have a good show that they can present without rehearsing."
"That's not difficult. Wait ten minutes, and I'll give you the count."
Shiraishi Yu's words are concise and to the point.
"Yes, it is me, Yu Shiraishi."
"Regarding your comeback, you still..."
"I've changed careers. Now I'm a bar girl, I can make money just by snapping my fingers. Do you want to join me...?"
Not everyone has the idea of making a comeback.
"I understand, but I need help. I'll come and wait for a day. The payment is..."
Yu Shiraishi looked at Hiro Nakajima.
"You can pay a premium, so feel free to drive it."
Nakajima Hiroshi made a decisive decision.
His expectation for this business deal was that he could lose money, but at least he shouldn't damage the reputation or ruin Asuka's future.
After the offer was made, the other party quickly became excited.
"oh--!"
"Shiraishi, have you found a rich guy? This is...?"
"Sorry, I need to contact the next person. I'll call you back later to exchange pleasantries."
hang up.
"I will have to work overtime because of this, and I need to be paid overtime."
"No problem, next one."
It seems that Yu Shiraishi has a good reputation among her friends.
Thirteen people were contacted, and eleven of them were willing to lend a helping hand.
Of the two who didn't come, one had no choice but to go back to inherit the family business, and the other was heavily pregnant and looking for the father of her child.
(I told you not to play with depth charges...)
Ms. Shiraishi, you know about this?
Can women really chat this wildly?
Yes, everyone is the same.
However, these artists aren't enough to support large-scale commercial projects. Mizuki and Yoshioka Shigeru should have resources... maybe ask them.
"Ms. Shiraishi, the situation is urgent. Once the person arrives, please help me make the arrangements. I need to borrow an artist from headquarters."
"Go ahead, I'll take care of things here."
This time, the absence of pheromones was surprisingly reassuring.
Shigeru Yoshioka.
"I do know some actresses, but their appearance fees are very high."
"You know, the businesses that hire me to choreograph are usually not small-scale..."
Costs are indeed something to consider; after all, we're not running a charity.
"What about renting out new customers? We can forgo making money on this trip, given the current situation..."
A few words.
"It should be possible, let me ask."
Mizuki didn't even ask about the specifics of the incident.
It seems that the collaboration is really important to her, and she's almost ready to go all in on Nakajima Hiroshi.
"I can only offer a few friends; it's difficult to utilize resources from my own company."
"Understood. Just take a count and give me the number of people and the cost."
"it is good."
There are still not enough people.
This kind of collaboration is very resource-intensive, and Nakajima Hiro even wanted to add a few male escorts to the project...
There are also cute types of men who, when they dress up, aren't necessarily less attractive than women...
cough cough.
This last vacancy can only be filled by making a comeback whenever possible; if all else fails, a temporary loan will be the only option.
With the artists' issues resolved, the next step is the equipment.
Backup power is definitely needed, but deploying it across the board would be too expensive.
You could consider using low-power devices with ambient lighting as a substitute.
If Kuroda truly has the ability to make even low-powered power supplies malfunction, then the performance issue would be considered an act of God, and no matter what, they wouldn't be held responsible.
But if he really did leave himself a low power level without any contingency plan, then that would be a mistake on our side.
Audience, backstage...
The audience is definitely uncontrollable; there aren't enough people to manage Nakajima Hiroshi. However, the backstage area must be strictly guarded.
His gaze fell on the monitor.
"Don't try to use me; this has nothing to do with me."
"Is that so..."
They really do have an attitude of detachment.
"Do you have any friends who are very skilled in combat that you can recommend to me? I'm willing to pay them."
"I must refuse."
Ok.
If you don't do it, people will do it.
Misaki Tachibana.
"Just send some people to keep watch, it's a small problem."
"However, given this situation, our profits from this game are basically gone."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"We can't entirely blame you, after all, there's the enemy factor involved, and we still haven't found a breakthrough to take down Kuroda."
"I brought the enemy here, and I'll remember this as a favor. Now, please help me face the problem."
Hiroshi Nakajima made a very frank request.
Although Kuroda was indeed an external enemy, this trouble had also come to the team with him, and he was clear about that.
At the very least, the attitude should be adequate.
"Let's save the pleasantries for the victory celebration banquet; let's get down to business first."
"After all, this is our first major commercial deal. Even if we don't make a profit, we have to make it look good, both internally and externally."
"it is good."
Emergency response plans have been largely deployed.
But Hiroshi Nakajima knew that this was only to stop the bleeding.
The key issue is still to deal with this enemy that keeps creating wounds for us.
He stared thoughtfully at a line of tasks that had stopped moving forward.
How to defeat Kuroda Karito.
This is a tricky problem.
According to the investigation, the other party seems to be truly invincible.
Although this guy himself is a bit foolish, his team is too solid.
Even if he found a lot of dirt on Wuwanjun, it would be blocked by the shell company and difficult to use as a means of attack.
Subordinates are like a protective shell, firmly shielding this despicable core.
Moreover, their bond is incredibly strong.
That's money.
People who come together because of shared interests are far more reliable than those based on faith or emotion.
