I talked with Mr. Nakai from fx-on (GogoJian) (I received my first-ever hospitality~♪) Part 1
I’m writing for fx-on (Gogojan) about investment topics, and with the August renewal, I heard from Nakai-san, who was in charge, asking if we could meet in person to discuss it.
Honestly, it sounded like a hassle, but I thought, “If you’re going to treat me to a good meal, that’s fine,” and threw out a bold proposal, which surprisingly sounded serious?
I’ve only written a dozen or so articles, and I haven’t attracted many readers(…but articles about cutting losses with “Angya~” or wailing did generate quite a bit of traffic
)
)Will you really come all the way from Tokyo?
At first, when I said I would accept the writing assignment, I went silent, and I was wary that there might be some trap this time as well.
Because you know—“Drive to the planned restaurant, and the other party won’t come
”So it would be a big hit if that happened, but
“There’s a reservation under Nemugon for ten pieces of special sushi
Cancellation on the day requires 100% payment, is that acceptable
”If the head chef says that with a smile, I’d be dead, you know?
Last year and the year before, I’ve been blown away by crude oil, BRL (Brazilian real), overseas FX, etc.,
If someone says that to me, I’d truly be done for
So as the schedule and dining places were being decided, I made sure to ask for the reservation name, and I called the restaurant on the day to confirm that there was a two-person reservation under Nakai’s name before heading out
Because he said, “There was a time before when we couldn’t contact each other,”
— Nemugon held a grudge, you know
But all that worry ended up being for nothing, and on August 22 at 20:00, as planned, we met at the restaurant and had a meal together.
【The main discussion content is almost entirely off the record…】
We talked for more than two hours and heard many interesting things.
Since it was a rare chance, I thought I’d turn it into material for my blog…And unexpectedly, he asked, “Could you write an article about Gogojan?”
And he even said I could write freely!To Nemugon, who didn’t blink at naming real people in the report,“It’s okay to write about Gogojan’s internal affairs in a Gogojan column”
The next day, to ensure I wouldn’t forget what we discussed and wouldn’t get anything wrong, I sent a large amount of source material for the article and asked for confirmation. I was fired up to start a long-running column.
…However, Nakai seemed to cool down the next day,‘◆Regarding yesterday’s meeting article, there were many parts that must not be published, so I will indicate with circle and cross whether it can be published. Please check and cooperate. m(._.)m Also, I wrote comments after the text. Publication could not be allowed in many parts (cries)’
That was the reply email…
(cries) The one who should be crying is me, who was trying to organize the huge amount of material and aiming for a serialized column…
Crying, continuing in the second part
(Note: We both drank no alcohol and spoke seriously. It wasn’t about getting me drunk and pulling out confidential information, so the NG was excessive, right?)
