Chapter 102 Make money
Neither Nakamori Akira nor Leslie Cheung had ever had such a late-night snack.
Next to me is the fishing port wharf. The fishing boats that returned from fishing in the middle of the night were still sailing. The originally quiet pier became lively. People transported the fishing boats that had worked hard for a day to ashore. After sorting and packing, they transported them directly to Tokyo, so that they could catch up with the morning market and sell them at a good price when the catch was freshest.
On this busy dock, Chen Yu took Akina Nakamori and Leslie Cheung to have midnight snacks, and watched others be busy with the refreshing sea breeze. This is really a very special experience.
"Fresh oysters are picked up, and they don't need to be roasted or made of other seasonings. Just pry them open and squeeze a little lemon juice. It's an excellent delicacy." Chen Yu picked up a clean oyster, pried it open with a knife, then picked up the lemon that was prepared in advance and squeezed a little juice on it, then sucked it directly into his mouth.
A very fresh smell filled the mouth, and it was a little sour and refreshing of lemon. Chen Yu just chewed it a little a few times, felt the tenderness of the oysters, and then swallowed it.
Leslie Cheung had never eaten this before. In his impression, he should have eaten the oysters cooked, but seeing Chen Yu and Akira Nakamori eating them all, he hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Oysters are known as the milk in the sea. In addition to being rich in nutrition, they are also delicious because of their delicious taste. You can experience the delicious taste when eaten raw.
"It's really delicious! I didn't expect that the raw oysters taste so good." Leslie Cheung couldn't help but praise him after tasting an oyster.
"The main thing is that the water quality is good. The growth environment of oysters depends very much on water quality. If the water quality is not good, it will also affect the taste of oysters. Today's batch of oysters tastes great." Chen Yu explained to Leslie Cheung, but at the same time he pried open the remaining oysters and placed part of them on the ignition of carbon stove next to it.
Seeing Leslie Cheung's face was puzzled, Chen Yu then explained: "Although raw oysters are delicious, eating too much of this kind of thing can easily cause diarrhea. Just eat a few more and try it out. The rest is better if you cook it."
Leslie Cheung nodded in understanding this point.
Akina Nakamori looked at Chen Yu skillfully roasting oysters, and suddenly asked curiously: "Chen Yujun, you seem to be very skilled in these things. Where did you learn it? Aren't you a screenwriter? Why do you do these things?"
"I know how to make these because I like to eat them!" Chen Yu laughed at the question of Akina Nakamori, but he still explained: "But these techniques were learned from the chef of my hotel. Before becoming a screenwriter, I had been living in Nagano, where my grandparents ran a hot spring hotel. Unfortunately, the season is wrong now, otherwise I could have invited two of you to ski and take a hot spring."
"Skiing in hot springs? Just like Chen Yujun, you did in your last movie "Love Letter"?" Akina Nakamori had obviously seen Chen Yu's previous movie and asked curiously, obviously she had seen Chen Yu's previous movie.
"Love Letter?" Leslie Cheung obviously had never heard of this movie. After all, the news did not spread quickly in this era. The news of a local Japanese movie being released to Hong Kong may have to wait next year.
"It was a love movie I made before. Because it was the first movie, the funds were limited, so I played the male lead myself. The ski resort I shot was from my house." If Chen Yu didn't add the last sentence, Akina Nakamori and Leslie Cheung might not think there was anything, but the last sentence of the ski resort was from my house, which immediately shocked both of them.
Especially Akina Nakamori, as a Japanese, she knows more clearly how expensive land prices are in Japan.
Just now, Chen Yu said that his grandparents run a hot spring hotel. She thought it was just an ordinary homestay. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu actually said that the ski resort in the movie was his, which completely shocked Akina Nakamori.
"That ski resort is actually from Chen Yujun's house? I thought it was the location you found when you were filming a movie!" Akina Nakamori exclaimed and couldn't help asking Chen Yu, "How rich is your family in Chen Yujun?"
Chen Yu just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "The entire ski resort and the hot spring hotel are worth about 7 billion yen. Then my grandparents also left me a large deposit in the bank, but they left a will, and they could only use interest every year before I got married.
I don’t like this kind of life that is scattered and waiting for death, so I want to do something I want to do, so I used my family’s forest to go to the bank to mortgage it for a loan, and then I made the movie “Love Letter”, so the money I spend now is what I earn.”
Hearing Chen Yu say this, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but feel envious of him.
For Akina Nakamori, who has been from a poor family, being able to make a lot of money by herself and let her family live a rich life is her greatest ideal since childhood. Although this ideal has almost been realized now, the envy of those who can make a lot of money is still like a deep-rooted instinct to her.
This made her unable to help but say enviously to Chen Yu: "The movie "Love Letter" was very popular some time ago. I went to the cinema to watch it. Chen Yujun, you should have made a lot of money, right?"
Chen Yu had no intention of hiding how much money he had made. He just took a roasted crab on the side to himself, and said while breaking the crab shells open, "I made a net profit of about 300 million yen after the box office dividend deducted the part I had previously loaned from the bank."
"Three hundred million yen? So much money!" Even Leslie Cheung was surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that Chen Yu could make so much money in a movie.
"This is mainly because I am an investor, and the cost of "Love Letter" 40 million is all paid by me alone, so I can make so much." Chen Yu was not surprised by this: "When you want to make 10 million yuan, it is much easier than if you use one dollar to make 10 yuan. Because you have more capital, you can do more things, and there are many ways to make money in this world."
