My heart has said, it will be good if you are willing to get lost and find your way back.

As long as you have this attitude, there is a high probability that we can find the lost things again.

However, what he didn't expect was that Matsumoto Keiko had a long-term vision and was not in a hurry.

And beyond imagination, he completely let go of his pride and actually planned to ask for help.

"No, no, you don't have to be too deliberate about making money. Okamoto-san, for us right now, opportunities are more important. If there are good performance opportunities that can increase public exposure, it doesn't matter if you reduce the remuneration appropriately. That's it.

Take "Movie World" as an example. It is a key theme film planned by Shochiku Pictures. It is almost a textbook for film production. The probability of winning should not be low, and film critics will give it face. Therefore, it is not good for me to participate in the film and ask too high a price.

, this is a matter of principle in life, it is related to my personal reputation, so I must not be careless. As for appearing in variety shows, don’t just look at the labor fee, first consider the social impact. I personally prefer NHK TV station. You don’t

Have you forgotten that the New Year is coming? You can negotiate with NHK and say that I am willing to perform on the variety show for free as long as they invite me to participate in the Red and White Song Festival. In addition, I will also try the nepotism route myself. I will do it this afternoon

I have made an appointment with the wife of the director of the department store to have tea with me, and I will try my luck to see if I can get some commercial acting jobs."

Akira Okamoto was surprised and kept saying "Hey, hi," he said.

"Your decision is so wise, Matsumoto-san. I will try my best to fight for the opportunity of the Red and White Song Festival for you! I believe that it won't be long before you will become the most exposed and most loved movie star by movie fans."

Matsumoto Keiko's change was immediate and increased his expectations and respect.

However, what was more surprising than him was Mitsuru Watanabe, who was in charge of the financial affairs of Matsumoto Keiko's office.

Because even with regard to the financial difficulties she faced, Matsumoto Keiko came up with alternative solutions.

"Watanabe-san, my apartment in Nishi-Azabu has a special meaning to me. After much thought, I still don't plan to sell it."

"Then... what about the operating expenses of the firm? There are currently less than 10 million yen on the books. Even if you get a new job now, there is a certain time risk in the operation of funds. And your father's company, doesn't it at least require

Thirty million yen to maintain it? Could it be that you..."

"No, it's not. Don't get me wrong. In fact, someone gave me a new suggestion. Instead of selling real estate, I can raise funds in a faster way."

"Ah? What's the solution?"

"Mortgage the real estate to the bank. Someone told me that if I do this, I should be able to get a loan of half the value of the property. So I decided to mortgage the property in Denenchofu where I live now, and then I can exchange it for

I got a lot of money. The house price in Denen Chofu is now almost 1.1 million yen per square meter. My house including the courtyard covers an area of ​​about 85 square meters. The courtyard is 60 square meters, and the house is about 400 square meters.

Then the house with the courtyard is worth about six to seven billion. I wonder if Mr. Watanabe can help contact the bank? If it can be done smoothly, we don't need to worry about the fund operation, right?"

"Hey, well, that's true. But if you borrow three to four hundred million yen all at once, the repayment pressure will be huge. Are you mentally prepared enough? I mean, if your career doesn't go well...

"

"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared. In fact, you don't need to worry, because the yen will continue to appreciate. In the long run, land prices in Tokyo will only rise simultaneously and become more and more popular. So even in the end

If I really can't repay the loan smoothly through work, it would be much more cost-effective to raise some money to redeem the house and sell it in a few years. Now is really not a good time to sell the house. It would be easier to sell it directly.

, but it’s not cost-effective. And if it’s mortgaged to a bank, I can continue to live there with peace of mind, right?”

Regarding Matsumoto Keiko's remarks, Watanabe was surprised and speechless.

He couldn't help but respond with surprise, "Oh, you're right. It's true that I didn't think carefully enough. Or your decision is more sensible, then I will do as you say."

Respectfully, Mitsuru Watanabe bowed.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you about the loan. I look forward to getting good news as soon as possible. Ah, by the way, you don't have to refuse the real estate agency I asked you to contact in the first place. I will personally contact the real estate agent of Qingye Real Estate

Just to say hello."

Keiko Matsumoto showed a gentle smile again, "And Okamoto-san, I have nothing else to do, so you can go and do your work."

Just like that, both subordinates walked backward out of the door.

It can be said that it is one thing when you come in and another thing when you go out.

The long-lost gentleness and respect appeared on them again, and they once again looked like subordinates serving their employers.

After going out, the two of them were still chattering and thinking about each other.

"Hey, Matsumoto-san, what's going on? Suddenly... oh, who would have dared to think about this two or three months ago?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that as a woman, I actually know a little bit about financial matters. Didn't Matsumoto-san never open his own store? It's really unexpected that what he said was so eloquent. He is very good at using financial means. This is comparable to

Other female celebrities who only save money to buy jewelry are much better... Hey, she said just now that someone gave her advice, you heard it, right? Has Matsumoto-san been interacting with anyone in the financial industry recently?"

"No. You know Matsumoto-san's temperament. He never likes to socialize. He is gentle on the outside but aloof on the inside. He is not even willing to act in TV dramas and only associates with people in the film industry. How could he possibly be with those who work with money every day?

People to deal with?"

"That's right. It's already very difficult for her to contact the wives of department store directors."

"But no matter what, Matsumoto-san has really figured it out. Only stars like this can have a better future."

"Haha, that's true. This is a very gratifying change. Our hard days must come to an end..."

"Hey, come on, Watanabe-san..."

A moment later, when the two of them walked into the office area, there was another burst of excitement.

"Hey, you lazy guys. Do you drink coffee every day? Yamada, especially a kid like you, you are so content with eating and waiting to die every day? Bastard, Matsumoto-san paid you to do something.

Cheer up. Call a taxi right away. Come with me. I have a job..."
