Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 205 Please remember my name

Because of the movie starring Jay Chou, it is the most familiar neon car cartoon in China.

Undoubtedly "Initial D".

What Qiu Mingshan car god.

What a turn in the drain.

What 86 goes up the mountain, Mercedes-Benz up the tree.

Even people who have never read comics can come up with a sentence or two of all kinds of famous stalks.

However, in Neon, there is also a comic called "Wangan Midnight", which is also very popular among comic fans.

The two comics also have completely different charms because of the different places where the stories are born.

The story of "Initial D" takes place in Gunma County.

In the eyes of Tokyoites, Gunma is a remote place.

In the story, young people drive an inexpensive car to run mountains, defeating opponents one by one, burning youthful blood.

Therefore, "Initial D" looks more down-to-earth, making ordinary people feel within reach.

The story of "Wangan Midnight" takes place in Tokyo.

Most of the characters in the comics are rich people.

They drive expensive sports cars and spend millions on modifications.

When drag racing, more attention should be paid to the continuous acceleration capability and high-speed driving stability of the vehicle.

The comics spend a lot of pen and ink, describing the performance and modification process of the vehicle in detail.

It doesn't emphasize driving skills like "Initial D".

It gives comic fans a more realistic feeling.

And the main stage of drag racing in the comics is also the name of the comics.

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway system, there are a large number of straight "Wangan Lines" along the harbor construction, starting from Gaogu and ending at Xingpu.

The Midnight in the name means midnight.

Represents drag racing on the 'Wangan Line', which doesn't start until after midnight.

At this time, it appeared in front of Hanyu Hideki.

It's like a scene from a cartoon.

The modified cars roared wantonly, or flashed lights of various colors.

And besides cars, Hanyu Hideki can also see many modified motorcycles.

Modified car enthusiasts, professional racing drivers, bosozoku, unscrupulous teenagers dressed in 'fashion', and even extreme people who like drag racing.

They shuttle among the vehicles.

Some bet on matches.

Some are exchanging modification experience.

Others are just to show off their cars.

There are those who don't have a car, just think it's cool here, and come to join in the fun.

This is the influence brought by the development of the neon automobile industry in the 90s.

The surging development of car modification culture.

While Hideki Hanyu was observing these cars, his arrival also attracted the attention of others.

More than 4000 million super sports cars, even without any modifications, are quite eye-catching.

Hanyu Hideki temporarily ignored other people's eyes, he followed Ito Shinsuke and Tanaka Yukio carefully.

Find an open space and stop.

When the scissor door opened like a sharp blade, he heard someone beside him exclaim.

No way, let's talk about the impact of the car's shape.

Lamborghini did a really good job.

At this time, Yukio Tanaka, who had parked the car next to him, walked over with a proud face.

The guy pointed to his Nissan Z31 with the engine on and the lights flashing non-stop, and said to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-kun, what everyone is looking for in this place is modification, expensive cars don't necessarily attract girls."

It is clear.

When Yukio Tanaka was eating just now, the 'resentment' accumulated because Hideki Hanyu was too popular with girls has not dissipated yet.

But as soon as Yukio Tanaka finished speaking, a cute girl walked up to the red Lamborghini.

After looking at the car in surprise, he asked Hideki Hanyu.

"Hello, is this car yours? Can you take me for a drive on the shore later?"

Perhaps because they didn't know each other, or because the lights were dim at midnight, the girls didn't recognize Hideki Hanyu.

"Ha ha……"

Standing by the side, watching Yukio Tanaka being slapped in the face by the speed of light, Shinsuke Ito smiled unkindly.

Yukio Tanaka asked the girl a little unconvinced, "Well, I will go to the bay later, how about taking my car."

Who would have thought that the girl heard Tanaka Yukio's words, glanced at Tanaka Yukio's car, and said in a disgusted tone, "I don't want to go to 31."

Haha ...

Ito Shinsuke next to him couldn't help laughing again.

This time even Hideki Hanyu couldn't hold back.

Hideki Hanyu stopped laughing, and patted Yukio Tanaka on the shoulder, "Yukio-san, it seems that expensive cars cannot attract girls because cars are not expensive enough."

"Hmph, Hanyu-san will accompany me to pick up a Ferrari tomorrow!"

Yukio Tanaka said angrily.

"It's okay for me to accompany Yukio-san, but is it okay for Mrs. Tanaka? Do you need me to help you pay first?"

Hideki Hanyu didn't doubt the financial strength of the Tanaka family, but Yukio Tanaka's financial strength.

"Sang Shao Hanyu looks down on people. Our clothing store has made very good profits in the past two months. It's just a car. My mother will definitely agree."

Hearing Yukio Tanaka's words, Hideki Hanyu wanted to complain.

Uniqlo in Ginza performed well.

Was it not for the salespeople he trained.

Isn't it because of the support from Yanai Masa, Ogori Shoji, and Tanaka Clothing.

What does it have to do with you, the young master who doesn't care about anything.

He wanted to complain, but Yukio Tanaka's boasting continued.

"In April, our turnover exceeded 6000 million yen, and in May it exceeded 7000 million yen. The store manager Shizuka said that the turnover will definitely exceed million within two months!"

Seeing Yukio Tanaka's excited face, Hideki Hanyu rarely spoke in a tone of approval.

"It's really not easy for Yukio-san to care about the sales of the store."

In fact, Yukio Tanaka didn't say anything, Hideki Hanyu also knew about the turnover.

Yanai Masa would send him income and expenditure reports every month.

The largest part of the expenditure was the rent to him, the landlord.

400 million yen per month.

It may seem like a lot, but it is already a preferential price given by him.

The monthly rent per square meter of shops in the area of -chome is basically more than yen.

If the bubble economy starts, the rent will soar to more than yen.

And he doesn't make any money with 400 million yen, and it's not even enough to repay the monthly loan payment of the store in the bank.

And according to Liu Jingzheng, it is not enough to rely on the development of this store in Ginza.

Therefore, it is recommended not to pay dividends for the time being, but to use profits to continue to expand.

Liu Jingzheng's opinion is to continue to look for larger stores to open branches.

But Hanyu Hideki did not intend to support this approach.

He asked to do a good job of internal strength first, and then expand.

As for what the internal strength is, of course it is the exclusive supply chain of UNIQLO.

Include logistics and warehousing first.

When he planned to meet next time, he proposed to establish a subsidiary of Uniqlo, 'Fast Retailing'.

Fast Retailing will be responsible for the logistics and warehousing of Uniqlo in the future.

Even the production of ready-made garments has to be paid by the 'Fast Retailing' company.

After all, after the bubble economy starts, the cost of neon production will double.

Therefore, once Fast Retailing is established, he intends to arrange for people to go to China for inspection.

There is no better place in the world to set up a garment factory than over there.

Others may have all kinds of scruples, but he has none at all.

Hideki Hanyu was thinking about Uniqlo, and the girl who asked the question before saw that he didn't answer, and left a little unhappy.

He didn't care about that either.

After all, he is not Yukio Tanaka, and he came here just to find something new.

He doesn't care if there are any girls who are willing to take his co-pilot.

Ito Shinsuke is a frequent visitor here.

He began to tell Hanyu Hideki about the underground "rules" of the 'Wangan Line'.

Drag races, for example, have to start after midnight "Cinderella time".

For example, drag racing must not affect the vehicles of ordinary people.

For example, the meeting place will change from time to time.

And around the 'Wangan Line' there is also a non-fixed organization.

Hideki Hanyu guessed that this organization should be the embryonic form of Team Midnight Racing, the famous underground team on the Wangan Line in the future.

This organization is also the creative source of the comic "Wangan Midnight".

And those who can join them are all people with deep pockets.

After all, changing a car is not something ordinary people can afford.

When Shinsuke Ito and Yukio Tanaka told Hideki Hanyu about the exaggerated rumors of the 'Wangan Line' drag racing.

From time to time, someone will come to exchange a thing or two.

There are those who want to invite Hideki Hanyu for a run.

There are also modification shop owners who come to sell business.

Of course, more people came to visit the car.

After all, Hideki Hanyu's red Lamborghini is too eye-catching.

During the period, Hideki Hanyu also saw the start of several agreed races.

There are also unscrupulous young people who come to ask him to place bets.

Hideki Hanyu thought it was very interesting, and every time he invested some money to play.

Although the young man who collected the money seemed unreliable, he was very disciplined.

If he wins, the money will be given to him according to the odds.

Even if you lose, you will come and let him know.

Looking at several games, there were losses and wins. After offsetting each other, they even won several thousand yen.

But through the competition, Hideki Hanyu also saw the madness of these guys.

After running back in one lap, according to the time distance calculation, there is no speed lower than kilometers per hour.

Some winning cars have a speed of over kilometers.

After watching a few scenes, Nobusuke Ito couldn't hold back his excitement, and said to Hideki Hanyu and Yukio Tanaka, "Let's go for a run too."

Yukio Tanaka was eager to try, "Yes, let's compete three times."

Who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu's next words would immediately make the two lose interest.

"If you don't speed, I'll play with you once."

"Hanyu-san, it's a pity that this car is in your hands." Yukio Tanaka said looking at the Lamborghini.

"I've only been driving this car for two days. If I'm not familiar with it, I'm going to race it. Isn't it courting death?"

Hideki Hanyu was unmoved.

"It's okay to drive slowly, the most important thing is to participate. Hanyu-san didn't buy it for grocery shopping."

When Ito Shin said this, Hanyu Hideki was also a little moved.

But before he finished speaking, he heard a few exclamations from the side.

"Wow! This car looks so weird."

"Look at his car door, it turned out to be upright."

"It should be very expensive..."

Hanyu Hideki turned his head and saw three girls standing beside the car.

The three girls looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.

There are girls of this age at the scene.

But these three seem a little special.

Unlike most of the girls at the scene, with heavy makeup on their faces, revealing clothes, and a bad look.

Of the three girls, two were wearing short-sleeved jeans and one was wearing a long white dress.

It felt like an ordinary middle school student, the feeling of going shopping with friends after school.

It's a bit out of place here.

But in the middle of the night, it is not easy for ordinary people to find this place.

I don't know how they got here.

But Hideki Hanyu didn't care either.

He couldn't even see the appearance of the three girls clearly, so he was naturally not interested in knowing how they got here.

But at this moment, he saw several motorcycles approaching.

There are young people in the car.

These young people parked their motorcycles not far away, got out of the car and surrounded the three girls who had just finished watching the car and walked not far away.

Then a group of youths yelled at the three girls.

The three girls were not afraid, and quarreled with several people loudly.

With a lot of people talking and a little distance, Hideki Hanyu only heard the general content.

It was these little youths who had just brought the three girls here.

Then ask the girl to do something, the girl disagrees, and so on.

After Hanyu Hideki found that he couldn't hear clearly, his curiosity was greatly reduced, so he didn't plan to watch the fun anymore.

Unexpectedly, the girls who were arguing suddenly raised their arms, pointed to the direction where he, Shinsuke Ito, and Yukio Tanaka were standing, and said something.

Then the group of young men led the three girls and walked towards them.

The young people walked up to Hideki Hanyu and the others, and the leader pointed to the three girls behind him, and asked loudly, "You promised to take them to the bay?"

"What?" Shinsuke Ito, who was talking, was completely confused about what happened.

The leading young man said to himself, "Do you understand the rules here! Even if you drive a good car, you can't snatch girls brought by others."

"Snatch girls? Are you talking about them?" Yukio Tanaka seemed to understand something.

Looking at the young age and "poor" figure of the three girls, he said with disdain, "I'm not interested in children, you have found the wrong person."

Looking at Yukio Tanaka's answer that didn't seem like a fake.

The young man in charge slowly came to his senses, guessing that he might have been cheated, and turned his head to get angry at the three girls.

Who would have thought that among the three girls, the girl in the white dress suddenly rushed out of the young man.

She rushed to Hanyu Hideki, and when Hanyu Hideki couldn't react in time, she grabbed Hanyu Hideki's arm.

And pretending to be aggrieved, he said, "You just said clearly that you were going to drive me, but you were afraid of them so you dared not admit it."

Hanyu Hideki grinned, thinking that the little girl reacted very quickly, but she was using the wrong person.

A little girl also wanted to use him as a shield.

He raised his hand to shake it off, then denied that there was any such thing.

But at this moment, with Yukio Tanaka's gaudy headlights, he finally saw the face of the girl in the white skirt clearly.

The small face with frowning eyebrows looked inexplicably familiar.

I was a little stunned for a moment, and I got stuck in what I was going to say.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu didn't speak, the young man thought that what the girl in the white skirt said was true.

Immediately, he yelled loudly, calling his companions to surround Hanyu Hideki and the three of them.

A posture that don't even think about leaving without an explanation.

Nobusuke Ito has traveled all over the world for many years, and he has never seen anyone.

Although Yukio Tanaka is a dandy, it is not uncommon to see various scenes in places like nightclubs all the year round.

Therefore, the two didn't pay attention to the young people in front of them at all, and rolled up their sleeves as if they were unwilling to accept it.

Although the two of them didn't understand why Hideki Hanyu didn't deny it.

But know that this will not be the time to ask at all.

Hideki Hanyu does not deny that there must be a reason not to deny it, they just need to support it.

As for Hanyu Hideki, knowing that the young man was impulsive, it was useless for him to explain.

He first protected the girl in the white skirt behind her.

When I came out to play today, I didn't bring bodyguards with me at all, so I can only rely on myself now.

He calmly judged the situation in front of him.

The young man seemed aggressive, but there were not many of them, only seven of them.

Fighting against such a half-child, the three adults may not be opponents.

But he didn't want to do anything unless he had to.

Although these young people seem to be dressed normally, they don't look like bosozoku or yakuza.

But no one can guarantee that the other party will not carry a weapon.

But soon Hideki Hanyu found out.

Although Shinsuke Ito and Yukio Tanaka were aggressive, they were obviously putting on a show.

Although the young man shouted fiercely, he felt like he was bluffing.

Neither side seemed to want to make a move.

The atmosphere seemed tense for a while, but the scene suddenly froze.

And this time.

The girl in the white skirt who was blocked by Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but feel a little turbulent in her heart.

Although she looked very brave when she quarreled with the young man just now.

But in fact, I was terribly scared, otherwise why would I use Hideki Hanyu and others as a shield.

When she rushed out desperately and grabbed Hanyu Hideki's arm, thinking that Hanyu Hideki would deny her lies like Tanaka Yukio.

Who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu didn't, and took the initiative to protect her behind her.

This kind of hero saving the beauty that can only be found in stories actually happened to her.

It made her feel unreal, but also extremely dreamy and romantic.

She stared at Hanyu Hideki's back with dazed eyes.

His eyes were full of admiration.

My heart is full of security.

"Asshole! What are you doing, don't you know whose territory this is?"

Just when the two parties were at a stalemate, suddenly there was an angry shout from a distance.

Follow the sound.

I saw a big man wearing a vest, clogs on his feet, and his upper body covered with blue and red tattoos, leading a group of people over.

At the same time, the two parties who were still arguing just now kept silent.

Hanyu Hideki heard that Shinsuke Ito and Yukio Tanaka were relieved at the same time.

Ito Shinsuke even whispered, "It's finally here."

Hanyu Hideki asked curiously in a low voice, "Ito-san knew there would be people coming, who are they?"

"They are the ones responsible for maintaining order, and they were the ones who gambled on the cars before."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he suddenly realized.

I understand whether it is Shinsuke Ito, Yukio Tanaka, or the young people surrounding them.

Why did you act like a bluff just now.

Apparently they knew that their actions would attract those who wanted to maintain order.

It's just noisy, the pole responsible for maintaining order, maybe even upholding justice.

But if you really want to do it, it's a mess.

The consequences can be imagined.

"What are you arguing about? What's going on?"

The big man with tattoos all over his upper body came to him and questioned him loudly.

"They were the first to break the rules..."

The young youths surrounding Hideki Hanyu, facing the real Yakuza, completely lost the aura of shouting just now, and instead sued with aggrieved faces.

After listening to the young man's words, the tattooed man looked at the girl in white skirt behind Hideki Hanyu with a displeased expression.

The girl leaned out because the dispute had stopped, when she saw the big man covered in tattoos looking at her.

Immediately shrank back in fright.

The tattooed man turned his head to look at Hideki Hanyu, wanting to question Hideki Hanyu.

Who would have thought that when the tattooed man saw Hideki Hanyu's face, he would immediately swallow his questioning words.

Then he carefully looked at Hideki Hanyu's face, and then asked in a polite tone, "Is this the writer Hanyu?"

Hideki Hanyu was having a headache as to how to solve the matter in front of him.

But when he heard the other party call out his name, he asked with some doubts, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Mr. Hanyu, don't you remember me? I was the one who brought the boss's book to you to sign last time."

The tattooed man hurriedly explained.

Hearing what the other party said, Hanyu Hideki immediately thought of it.

When I was buying land in Ota City, I met a leader of the "Sumiyoshi Society" who liked to watch "Magic Snack Shop".

"Is it Ogoshi and Mr. Shi?" Hideki Hanyu remembered the other party's name.

After all, I signed a lot of books for the other party later, and I was so impressed.

"That's right!"

The tattooed man forced a smile.

"Boss, besides reading Hanyu-sensei's books, now he also likes playing the games you made, especially Kung Fu. In the arcade we run, the most popular..."

The big tattooed guy was smiling and babbling non-stop.

Young people who have just filed a complaint.

Seeing that the yakuza members they rely on are so enthusiastic about Hanyu Hideki.

All don't know what to do.

The tattooed man talked for a while, and it seemed that the matter of remembering the young man had not been resolved.

Turning his head to look at the young people, the smile on his face instantly turned into a fierce look.

"It's your honor that Hanyu-sensei has taken a fancy to the girl you brought. If you dare to seek trouble, get the hell out of here!"

"Yes Yes."

The young man was yelled at by the tattooed man, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he got on his motorcycle and ran away.

After the young man left, the tattooed man said a few words to Hanyu Hideki and was about to leave.

But before leaving, the tattooed man did not forget to explain to Hideki Hanyu.

"Ms. Hanyu will come to "Wangan" to play cars in the future, and if this happens again, I will find the younger brother who bet on the spot."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl hiding behind Hideki Hanyu.

"Although it's a misunderstanding, Mr. Hanyu had better send them back first, otherwise our people won't be able to keep watching them after you leave."

When the tattooed man left, he was still sighing, "Now the kid, the age of going out to play is getting younger and younger, but the courage is getting bigger and bigger."

When the tattooed man walked away, Nobusuke Ito said with a smile, "What an interesting geek."

Then he asked Hanyu Hideki strangely, "When did Hanyu-san have a relationship with Yakudo?"

Yukio Tanaka also asked curiously, "Why do I feel that he is flattering Hanyu-kun?"

"I bought land from them in Ota District last year, and then I got to know each other."

Hideki Hanyu didn't intend to say more about matters related to the Goblin.

After a brief explanation, he glanced at the three young girls who got together again, and said to his two companions, "One for each."

Yukio Tanaka curled his lips in disdain, "I'm not interested in underage girls."

"I asked you to take them home!" Hideki Hanyu said angrily.

Yukio Tanaka is full of strange thoughts.

"That's the only way." Ito Shinsuke said.

"Then go home." Yukio Tanaka said.

After the commotion just now, the three of them had no intention of playing anymore, and walked towards their car one after another.

"Get in the car quickly, we will take you home."

Yukio Tanaka stood by the car and called out to the girls.

"Got it, uncle."

The three girls agreed, but ran towards Hideki Hanyu at the same time.

At the same time, he shouted, "Brother, I want to take your car."

Seeing this scene, Tanaka Yukio suddenly felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

He asked Nobusuke Ito with a bitter face, "Why do they call me Uncle, but Brother Hanyu-kun?"

"Haha..." Ito Shinsuke smiled unkindly again.

On the other side, all three girls wanted to take Hideki Hanyu's car.

As a result, the girl in the white skirt took the lead and sat on the co-pilot.

Facing the two girls who didn't grab a seat, Hanyu Hideki spread his hands helplessly, "Sorry, only one person can sit."

Hearing this, the two girls walked towards the other two cars with disappointed expressions.

Hideki Hanyu smiled helplessly, and helped the girl in the white dress close the passenger door first, and then got in the car to start the car.

"Where do you live?" Hideki Hanyu asked the girl in the white skirt.

"Sendagaya ****, Shibuya District." The girl in the white skirt said a name.

Hanyu Hideki heard this address, and asked curiously, "Are you an entertainer from the troupe Dong Hai?"

Because the address mentioned by the girl is the headquarters of the 'Team Troupe Donghai'.

If you want to say "Gaitan Donghai", you must first say "Tokyo Haiyu Life Cooperative Association".

Tokyo Haiyuu Life Cooperative Association, referred to as Haixie.

It is a special brokerage firm established in 1960.

He is special because the 'Hai Association' is not a traditional brokerage firm, but a brokerage organization composed and operated by brokers and artists.

Dong Hai Troupe is a department under the Hai Association.

Haiku, that is, Haiyu, can be understood as the meaning of an actor.

That is the meaning of the Tokyo Actors Troupe.

In addition to carrying out the brokerage business of individual artists, this department will also perform collective performances under the name of "Theatrical Troupe Donghai".

The "Trare Troupe Donghai" is the same as the Sunflower Troupe and the Tokyo Children's Theater Troupe. It is most famous for providing various small actors.

"Yes, I joined the theater troupe Dong Hai when I was in elementary school." The girl replied.

After the girl finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki just concentrated on driving without saying anything, and the car was completely quiet.

He took the initiative to speak, "Thank you for protecting me just now."

"You're welcome." Hanyu Hideki said.

Then, the car fell into silence again.

Not long after, the girl began to explain on her own.

"Those people and we were doing group performances in the same crew before. They said there was a place where we could see a lot of motorcycles, and then they took us there."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he didn't care how the girl sneaked out in the middle of the night, but asked curiously, "You like motorcycles very much."

"Yes, I like it very much." The girl nodded.

Then no one spoke again.

Just like that, the people in the car were silent, but the car roared all the way to the address the girl said.

"Here we are." Hanyu Hideki pulled the car to the side of the road.

The girl did not get out of the car, but turned to look at Hideki Hanyu.

"I know you, you are Hideki Hanyu, do you hate me?"

Hanyu Hideki was stunned, why did he suddenly become disgusted.

He deserved to hate a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

But the girl did not wait for Hanyu Hideki to answer, but smiled.

"It seems you don't hate me."

The girl opened the car door as she spoke, and suddenly said loudly to Hideki Hanyu before getting out of the car.

"I like you!"
