Chapter 30 New house and new atmosphere

How much is 68 million yen? The exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the RMB is about 100 to 6.5 to 7, and the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the US dollar is about 100 to 1. That is to say, this money is equivalent to about 4.5 million yuan or 680,000 US dollars. No matter where it is, it can be regarded as a huge sum. You must know that even RB elites have very few who can earn 10 million yen annually, most of whom are old men over 50 years old.

In the morning, he was still worried about rent and living expenses, and at noon he went straight to the wealthy class. Even though Ye Zhao knew in his heart that it would be a matter of time before and after, he was still a little dizzy. After all, knowing that he owned a treasure mountain and mining the things in the treasure mountain into real wealth are two completely different things.

Of course, things are not that simple. First of all, the fundamental reason why he was able to get so much money in one go is because this is an underground single, not only does it lack the commission, but also several share items that were originally unrelated to the singer belong to him. If this is a regular single, the money would have to be greatly reduced. Secondly, the 68 million yen also contains taxes that were not paid, not only his net profit.

Having said that, since you can make so much money by making underground singles, why do you still have to sign a contract with a record company to share the cake? First, to save trouble and continue to be an underground singer, then every disc produced has to be done by yourself from the sample to the production. Although there are only a few lines written on paper, when you actually do it, it is simply a mess of your mouth and a broken leg. Since you have to do big things, you can't just focus your eyes on these little details.

Furthermore, although it seems like an era where you can simply sell songs, you have to rely on the help of the media to sell well. In addition to the fact that the song is really catchy, the main reason why "Summer Color" is popular is due to the promotion of Kasuyuki Kurada and "CDDATA". In addition, the weather this year has given this song a topic, and its strength and luck are combined, which has such a result. Otherwise, it is hard to say what kind of virtue can be sold. Don't say that the wine is not afraid of the deep alley, even a low-key company like BEING has to find TIE-UP for singers and buy advertisements for promotion.

As the saying goes, in life, food, clothing, housing and transportation. With a huge sum of 68 million yen, food and clothing are no problem. Of course, the most important thing is to move out of the dilapidated small single room you live in now and change it to a better place to live.

He doesn't need to contact the real estate agent, let alone find a guarantor. As long as he reports his expected price and requirements for the house, the staff will do everything for him.

People who are involved in the entertainment industry have big ups and downs. Maybe they live in a top-level building with a monthly rent of 2 million yen today, and tomorrow they will become low-rent housing in the suburbs. Not only will the real estate agent not give you preferential treatment because of your artist’s identity, they will be more strict in the review. However, with the company as a guarantee, these are not a problem. What Ye Zhao really needs to do is to see the house and pay the bill.

When it comes to renting a house, Ye Zhao doesn't have much requirements. A 1LDK with good lighting and convenient transportation is enough. LDK refers to living (LIVING ROOM), dining room (DINING ROOM), kitchen (KITCHEN ROOM). The numbers in front represent the number of rooms. The area of ​​1LDK is usually more than 15 square meters, almost no more than 50 square meters. It is considered a typical single apartment.

After hearing his request, the staff member in charge of finding a house for Ye Zhao joked, "You have earned so much royalties, I thought I could at least live in a high-end apartment with a monthly rent of more than one million yuan."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's enough to live in a house." That's strange. Ye Zhao still has the traditional Chinese thinking of "the house I bought is home, and the house I rent is just a place to settle down". If he is buying a house, he will definitely choose the best and most comfortable one within the conditions, but renting a house is as good as the small single room before.

In the end, he chose a 1LDK with a 30-square-meter-long teahouse in the area of ​​Sanren Teahouse in Setagaya District, with a monthly rent of 250,000 yen. Sanren Teahouse is one of the most suitable areas for living in Tokyo, which is as famous as Kichijoji and Liberty Hill. The rent here is moderate, the artistic and cultural atmosphere is strong, and there are also a large number of coffee shops and izakayas nearby. It is a good place where elegance and customs coexist.

In RB renting a house, there is a weird system: In addition to prepaying a one to two months of rent deposit when signing a new rental contract, it also has to give the landlord one to two months of rent. The part given is called "gift", including agency fees and insurance premiums, etc., Ye Zhao paid as much as 1.29 million yen in the first month, which is more than five times the rent.

The more money you spend, you can enjoy it. This small apartment is well-designed, with white decoration tones as its main color, and it also provides basic furniture. What satisfied Ye Zhao the most was the floor-to-ceiling window in the room connecting the balcony. When he went to see the room, it was about 11 o'clock in the morning. The bright sunshine shone into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which was indescribable.

After signing the contract, the agency contacted the locksmith and changed the door lock. Once the new key was obtained, Ye Zhao could finally say goodbye to the cold and wet small single room. However, before officially moving in, he had to go to the nearby department store first. Since he had just rented a new house, it would be inappropriate to use the old bedding before. Moreover, he used to sleep on the floor, but the apartment was equipped with a 1.8-meter-eight bed, which was completely unsuitable.

In the supermarket, Ye Zhao pushed the shopping cart between the shelves. Based on the principle of "buying only expensive ones but not the right ones", he quickly cut the mess and bought the necessary bedding and pots and pans to move into a new house. After paying the bill, Ye Zhao walked out of the supermarket with a large bag and a taxi back to the apartment. When he entered the elevator, in addition to him, there was also an aunt in his forties in the elevator. Seeing Ye Zhao's posture of hanging shopping bags around his neck, the aunt was startled first, and then asked Ye Zhao with all eyes: "Young man, which supermarket is selling discounts?" He was very interested in killing and buying.

Ye Zhao replied: "No, I'm just moving."

"Oh~" the aunt nodded in disappointment, and lost her interest in paying attention to him.

After entering the house, Ye Zhao took out the things he bought, put the dishes into the cupboard, and the towels and shower gel were all given to each other. Finally, he made the bed sheet and put the quilt cover on the quilt. After cleaning the apartment inside and out, Ye Zhao flew over to the bed and let out a satisfying cheer: "I finally have a bed to sleep!... Guru."

Don't get me wrong. The last "gulp" was not Ye Zhao swallowing his saliva, but the protest from his belly. Now, looking out from the window, the sky was already pitch black.

The apartment is equipped with facilities, and you can find a good and cheap restaurant in five minutes to walk, so it is very convenient to eat. Ye Zhao slowly got up from the bed, changed his clothes and went downstairs, and searched one by one along the street outside the apartment... Then, he found an izakaya renovated with old houses on the street.

Izakaya is a specialty of RB. It was originally a wine shop operator who started to provide some simple dishes to facilitate customers to drink in the store immediately after buying wine. With the passage of time, it gradually evolved into a restaurant that can provide both alcohol and food.

Ye Zhao's most direct impression of Izakaya comes from a Japanese drama called "Late Night Cafe". It tells the story of an Izakaya that only opens at midnight, only has a pork set menu, but you can order whatever you want. Everyone drinks wine, eats favorite food, talks about interesting things of the day or tastes sorrow alone, and connects the entire TV series with humane stories.

With a little curiosity and longing, Ye Zhao walked into this izakaya called "Yueshan".

There is no boss with a calm face and excellent cooking skills, nor is there a diner with a story. There are only office workers who drink happily and brag and fuck, and sometimes they are mixed with a few drunken "I ordered the grilled chicken skewers, hurry up!" The chef was so busy in front of the cooking table that the clerk was quick to move between the dining tables. When he saw Ye Zhao coming in, he didn't have time to greet him, but just shouted: "Welcome!"

Almost instantly, Ye Zhao was disappointed with this place. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the aroma of roasted chicken skewers floated over the cooking table, and his stomach also "gurgled" with a very suitable feeling.

Forget it, it is not embarrassing to surrender to food.

The izakaya at night is always crowded, and whether it is the bar or the small table, they are all filled with people. At the table near the door, a drunk Mediterranean uncle was putting his tie on his head and dancing. Ye Zhao carefully avoided these drunkards and searched for the empty seats to sit.

At this moment, a shout came from the corner: "Hey, the guy over there, should you come and sit together?"

This familiar recipe, the familiar taste... Ye Zhao looked at the source of the sound. At a two-person table in the corner of the izakaya, two young women sitting opposite each other, the woman sitting below facing away from Ye Zhao, so I don’t know who she is, but Ye Zhao could still recognize the woman with her sister’s head and short hair and a baby face.

Walking to the table of the two, Ye Zhao looked at her, "Didn't I say that the name 'brother' is too frivolous."
