Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 292 "Ball Flower" Female Secretary
The issue of retail pricing is just one part of all the preparatory work before the launch of the PS console.

As for the shipping price of Spirit Entertainment, that is to be negotiated between each retailer and Spirit Entertainment individually.

But in general, the profit margins are very thin, especially the contracts with large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

After removing the cost, freight, and the proportion borne by the marketing link, even if you don't make a dime, you will have to post a few dollars in the end.

But in this era, after the mainframe goes on the market, it is actually normal to sell the mainframe at a loss.

Even with the expansion of the production scale of the main engine, the cost of accessories is reduced, and when profits are generated.

Mainframe manufacturers will not pursue profit immediately, but use various activities to reduce prices, try to keep the price of mainframes down, and take the initiative to exchange money for market share.

There is only one reason for this phenomenon, that is, everyone does not plan to make money from consoles, but from selling games.

In the original time and space, Nintendo and Sega fought the "console war" even though they saw popularity in the bayonet of console killing.

But when it comes to game cartridges, the two companies have a tacit understanding and no one is in a price war.

Nintendo's game cartridges sell for $50 after discounts in America.

The game cassette of Sega MD is hovering at $60.

At the end of the host war, the price of the host has dropped to around $100.

At that time, two cassettes could buy a mainframe.

And the profit of one cassette can even be compared to selling several consoles.

So for game makers.

You can make money just from game royalties, platform commissions, production costs, peripheral sales and other channels.

Selling hosts is just to pave the way for more profitable channels.

Get familiar with it.

This is how the Internet works in later generations.

Everyone ends up together, first spend money to gain market share, and when the market share rises, the peers will be swept away. Naturally, there will be ways to make money.

This is also the reason why the sales of Sega consoles were not bad in the end, but they just couldn't beat Nintendo and Sony.

There are too few first-party self-developed games and sales are too low.

However, there is a lack of third-party support, so how can it be possible to win by only selling hosts.

Fortunately, Hideki Hanyu made arrangements early with his foresight.

The self-developed game library is extremely powerful.

In a short period of time, even without the support of a third party, the games of Spirit Entertainment are enough to support players' consumption.

Of course, the consequences of this kind of eating alone are very serious, and Hideki Hanyu will not do it.

According to the sales of Pokeball 2 handhelds, the total sales in America alone have exceeded 470 million units.

According to the leaderboard of the American version of "Game Base".

On the America Pokeball 2 platform sales list, the game with the highest sales volume is "tetromino", which is Tetris, and its sales volume is almost equal to that of handheld consoles.

The second-ranked "Pokémon Red/Green" sold more than 300 million.

Of course, these two games can reach this figure because of their bundled sales with handhelds.

But look at No. Super Mario Bros.

Released last December, it has sold more than 290 million copies without any bundles.

Almost one million sales in a month.

A single cassette is priced at $49.

A single game helped Genie Entertainment generate $4000 million in sales.

The three games add up to more than twice the profit of the handheld.

In this case, what the sales department thinks about most every day is to do some activities that can lower the price of Pokeball 2 handhelds.

So don't look at the $2 Pokeball 129 handheld.

But under normal circumstances, there will be various promotional activities, and you can basically buy it for about a hundred dollars.

So it's no surprise why the sales department doesn't want to make the price of the PS console too high.

And even at $229, it's only temporary.

Once competing products go on the market and start a price war, I am afraid that the price of PS consoles will also drop.

The fear of selling hosts is not to lose money, but to sell too little.

The headquarters and branches of Elf Entertainment, with so many games in the game library, and the support of third parties, are gold mines that can be continuously mined.

How much money can I make selling hosts?

In the blink of an eye, Hideki Hanyu had arrived in America for more than a week.

On this day, because the company has no work for him to deal with.

Hideki Hanyu stayed at the hotel and learned about the neon situation by phone.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Marco's voice sounded.

Hanyu Hideki finished speaking in a few words, hung up the phone, opened the door and asked Marco.

"The people from Boeing are here?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

The reason why he asked this was because he finally made up his mind to customize a business jet.

With more and more frequent work between the two places, coupled with personal needs, it is indeed much more convenient to have a private jet.

So he contacted Boeing Aircraft, and after communicating with Boeing, Boeing decided to arrange for someone to come to provide consulting services today.

After all, as long as the negotiation is completed, it will be a large order of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this service is actually nothing.

Who would have thought that Marco denied it, "No, there are a few guests who want to visit the boss, but they didn't make an appointment before."

"Who is it?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Mr. Jinbao Eiichi was the first to come, followed by Ms. Nadia's daughter and niece, and a strange young man."

Marco replied.

"It's really lively, let the hotel help me arrange the reception in the room, you take them there first, I will be there soon."

"Yes, boss."

After Marko left, Hideki Hanyu changed into simple casual clothes and walked downstairs.

Came to a small meeting room.

Glancing at the people sitting in the meeting room, their expressions were a little strange.

The closest to him is an old acquaintance who helped him short Warner Communications and Eiichi Jinbo of Nintendo stocks.

After finishing what Nintendo did, Eiichi Jinbo received hundreds of millions of rewards.

Since Hanyu Hideki didn't have any good investment plans at the time, he really had nothing to do in Hanyu's investment, so he resigned and went out to do it alone.

It is said that he went to the international futures market to toss.

I remember when we said goodbye, this guy was in a suit and leather shoes, he was in high spirits, full of confidence, and looked like he was going to make a fortune.

But now.

He was wearing a white shirt without a tie, crumpled and dirty, as if it hadn't been changed for a long time.

With disheveled hair, a haggard expression, and a sluggish look, it looks like a bad life.

No need to guess, you must have lost money in the international futures market.

as predicted.

Before Hanyu Hideki came in, this guy put on a mournful face.

"Boss, I'm here to rely on you."

Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised, "You won't lose all of that money, right?"

Eiichi Jinbo smiled wryly, "The last bit of money was used to buy air tickets."

Hideki Hanyu didn't say anything to persuade you at the beginning, you must not listen to such unnutritious words.

Just say, "Go take a shower first, then change your clothes, and talk about your business later."

Then he ordered Marco, "Send someone to take him to check in."

Then he turned to look at the other three people.

The leader was Monica Bellucci who had been a female companion in New York for a few days.

The other party seemed to be a bit reborn because of the trip to New York.

The red dress, high heels, and black silk suspenders perfectly accentuate her figure.

Coupled with big wine red waves, delicate and glamorous makeup.

The plain Italian girl disappeared completely.

Completely became an eye-catching glamorous girl.

It is getting closer to the "Ball Flower" of later generations.

And she is still 20 years old, the peak version of "Ball Flower".

Next to Monica Bellucci, a man and a woman were sitting.

Hanyu Hideki knew the girl, who was Nadia's daughter Federica.

As for the man, he was a white youth in his 30s.

Judging by his intimate appearance with Federica, it is likely that he is the boyfriend of Wall Street that Nadia said.

But the other party was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and long hair.

Plus that Christian Bale-like face.

It is really difficult for Hideki Hanyu to connect him with people on Wall Street.

Instead, it looks like a member of a rock band.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu looking over, Monica Bellucci stood up without waiting for him to ask.

"Mr. Hanyu, I am here this time because you need to confirm some material procedures in the construction of the house."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Why didn't you call me in advance."

Monica Bellucci thought to herself, I finally seized the opportunity to come here, so I don't bother to make a phone call.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his cousin and her boyfriend, as well as the unkempt Eiichi Jinbo not far away.

She also felt that the timing of this time did not seem to be very good.

Also, when Hideki Hanyu questioned her, the tone without any sense of intimacy made a certain expectation in her heart feel shattered in an instant.

But at this moment, behind Hideki Hanyu.

Marco, who arranged for his subordinates to help Hideichi Jinbo to check in, came back and closed the door of the meeting room.

It seemed that the force was a little too strong, and the sound of closing the door was loud, which immediately caught Monica Bellucci's attention.

After she came today, she didn't see Hanyu Hideki's female assistant.

Only this cold-looking, "clumsy" bodyguard.

Perhaps, new opportunities can be found here.

"Sorry, because it happened suddenly, I didn't have time to call."

Monica Bellucci was apologetic.

After asking about Monica Bellucci, Hideki Hanyu looked at Federica and her boyfriend next to her.

"What's wrong with Miss Federica coming to see me?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

He has only met the other party a few times, and has never spoken to the other party except for the cooperative relationship with his mother Nadia.

The other party came to the door suddenly with her boyfriend. If it wasn't for Nadia's face, Hideki Hanyu wouldn't even bother.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm very sorry to bother you. Please let me introduce. This is my boyfriend Billy Lynn. He is now on Wall Street..."

Seeing that Federica was about to introduce her boyfriend to him.

Hideki Hanyu raised his hand unceremoniously to interrupt, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your boyfriend's career."

Federica brought a boyfriend who worked in a Wall Street investment bank to find him, the 'rich man'.

Hideki Hanyu is not a fool, he can guess what the other party wants to do just by listening to the beginning.

It's nothing more than fancying his "money".

Federica fell in love with this man no matter because of his "talent" or because of his appearance that resembled Bell.

But for Hideki Hanyu, what does it have to do with him.

The only thing that "interested" this Wall Street "elite" was the name.

Billy Lynn has the same name as the protagonist in a movie by the later Chinese director Ang Lee.

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, Billy Lynn, who resembled a rock singer, seemed unwilling to give up.

He said to Hanyu Hideki very gracefully, "Mr. Hanyu, I have a few good projects in my hand. If you are willing to listen to my introduction, you will definitely be interested."

But Hideki Hanyu didn't bother to pay attention at all, and turned to Marco and said, "See off."

"Sir, please..."

Marco held out his hand coldly to Federica and Billy Lynn.

Federica seemed to want to say something, but Billy Lynn stopped her girlfriend.

Because he understands that for a rich man like Hideki Hanyu, the opinion of a small person like him is not important at all.

The reason why he came today was also because there was a problem with the project he was in charge of, and he learned that Federica's mother was serving rich people like Hideki Hanyu.

So just try your luck.

It is of course good to be able to succeed, perhaps with the help of Hideki Hanyu's financial resources to tide over the difficulties.

If it doesn't work, you can't risk offending a rich man by stalking him.

After all, he works on Wall Street, but he deeply understands the power of money in this country.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm very sorry to bother you."

After Billy Lynn apologized, he left with his girlfriend.

Except for the initial inquiry, Hanyu Hideki didn't intend to say anything to the two of them at all.

He hates people who have no sense of boundaries.

After Federica and Billy Lynn left the conference room, Hideki Hanyu looked at Monica Bellucci with indifference.

"You brought them?"

Seeing Hideki Hanyu's attitude for the first time, Monica Bellucci panicked and immediately shook her head to explain.

"I also met them at the hotel. My cousin hasn't been home for a long time."

Hanyu Hideki held out his hand, "Show me the document."

Monica Bellucci hurriedly handed over the documents.

Hideki Hanyu had just received the document, flipped through a few lines, and Marco, who returned, whispered to him, "Boeing's people have arrived."

"Invite them to come here."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he continued to look through the documents.

But before he finished reading, Marco brought Boeing's people in.

Hideki Hanyu could only temporarily stop looking at the documents and communicate with the Boeing staff first.

A total of three staff members came to Boeing for this trip, in order to provide comprehensive consulting services to Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki did not take the initiative to ask Monica Bellucci to leave.

Monica Bellucci simply pretended to be confused, and stayed in the meeting room because Hanyu Hideki didn't sign the document.

Moreover, as Hideki Hanyu and the people from Boeing began to negotiate, Monica Bellucci also played the role of secretary in a sensible way.

Helping serve coffee, hand over documents, and the service is extremely thoughtful, which is undoubtedly much better than the professional bodyguard Marco.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu felt that it would be nice to have someone to help, so he didn't force Monica Bellucci to leave.

After all, buying a private jet is not a shameful thing.

The people at Boeing didn't know the identity of Monica Bellucci, so they had no other idea except that Hideki Hanyu's secretary was so pretty.

"Mr. Hanyu, after understanding your needs, I don't think you need to choose a large four-engine wide-body long-range airliner like the 747."

"do you have any good advice?"

As Hanyu Hideki said, he took a sip of the tea brought by Monica Bellucci.

"I think the twin-engine medium-sized airliner of the 767 is completely sufficient. After all, as a business jet, if you take it alone in most cases, the space of the 747 is still too wasteful."

Hearing Boeing mentioning the 767, Hanyu Hideki instinctively said something in a low voice.

"Boeing 767, the largest heavy loitering bomb in human history?"

No wonder Hanyu Hideki thought of this.

It is really the Boeing 767's performance in the 911 is too dazzling.

A single attack destroyed two giant fortresses, killed more than 2900 people, and injured more than 6200 people.

"What did Mr. Hanyu say?" Boeing's representative didn't hear Hideki Hanyu's words.

"It's nothing, it's just that I remember the range of the 767, it doesn't seem to be enough to fly across the Pacific Ocean?"

"Mr. Hanyu was originally worried about this problem. In fact, just yesterday, we have successfully delivered and completed the first flight of a 767-200ER specially customized for El Al. This is a long-range aircraft with increased fuel capacity. It can fully meet Mr. Hanyu's needs."

"Please allow me to think about it."

It has to be said that Hideki Hanyu was moved.

If you choose the Boeing 747, the price of the aircraft plus customization, even in the 80s, the price will definitely exceed million US dollars.

But if you choose 767, you may be able to get it for about million US dollars.

If the operation and maintenance costs are included, the comprehensive cost per hour of flight, 767 is also nearly one-third cheaper than 747.

So much money is not a small number for him.

How many cassettes would it take to earn it back.

Besides, in memory, the 767 model has always been ranked in the top three of all aircraft safety lists.

Although it has a strong record as a heavy loitering bomb.

But he won't really use his private jet as a cruise missile.

"Then please tell me some details about this aircraft. If I customize a business jet, what services can Boeing provide me?"

Hideki Hanyu said those words.

The Boeing staff knew that Hideki Hanyu was moved.

The three began to introduce the situation of this aircraft and detailed customization services to Hideki Hanyu in detail.

Even the formalities after delivery and pilot introduction service can be done for you.

In a word, as long as Hideki Hanyu pays for it, there is nothing Boeing can't do in terms of aircraft alone.

And Hideki Hanyu discussed with the people from Boeing.

Next to Marco is still the same old well.

But Monica Bellucci, who played the guest secretary, was a little restless.

On the surface, she stood quietly beside Hideki Hanyu.

But when he heard that Hideki Hanyu actually wanted to spend huge sums of money to customize a private jet.

Her eyes can be said to be full of splendor.

In my heart, surprise, envy, longing... All kinds of emotions are almost uncontrollable.

Have breakfast in Italy in the morning, take a private jet to go shopping in France at noon, and take a private jet to go to a private island in the Caribbean for vacation in the evening.

This is the life she wants.

Almost two hours later, Hanyu Hideki and the Boeing staff initially reached a consensus.

Next, Boeing will arrange for Hideki Hanyu to conduct a 767 experience flight.

If this step is satisfactory, the two parties can sign a letter of intent, and Hideki Hanyu will also pay Boeing an earnest money.

Then Boeing will complete the design of the private jet according to Hideki Hanyu's request.

If Hideki Hanyu is not satisfied with the design, Boeing will make further modifications.

If Hideki Hanyu remains unsatisfied, Boeing will return the intent money and only charge related service fees, such as the cost of test flights.

But if Hideki Hanyu is satisfied with the design, the two parties can sign a formal contract, pay a deposit, and start building the aircraft.

After the manufacturing of the aircraft is completed, the test flight and all inspections are completed, Boeing will help Hideki Hanyu apply for flight certificates for various countries.

After all the formalities were completed, the aircraft was officially delivered, and Hideki Hanyu paid the full amount, and the purchase was considered complete.

The whole process will take between nine months and one year.

However, the representative of Boeing said that because of the cooperation with Israel Airlines, the production volume of this 767-200ER is sufficient, and it can provide the service of jumping in the queue at a higher price.

As long as Hideki Hanyu pays a little more for jumping in the queue, Boeing promises to let Hideki Hanyu take his own private jet before the end of the year.

The queue jumping fee is not too much, hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and said that as long as Boeing's design can meet his requirements, the queue fee is not a problem.

"Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured that Boeing's service will definitely satisfy you. Please wait patiently. We will arrange a test flight experience within a week."

Seeing that the order is likely to be negotiated, Boeing's staff is quite enthusiastic.

"Okay, I'll wait to hear from Boeing at any time."

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he bid farewell to the Boeing crew and arranged for Marco to send them away.

After Marco and the Boeing employees left, Hideki Hanyu looked at Monica Bellucci, who had been playing the guest secretary all along.

"Thank you Miss Monica just now."

No matter why this woman wanted to help him, if she helped, she helped, and she should say thank you.

There is no assistant around, which is really inconvenient in some cases.

After all, Marco is a professional bodyguard, and the services in these details are still somewhat inappropriate.

"Mr. Hanyu, you're welcome. If Miss Ishihara from before was here, I wouldn't need my help at all."

Monica Bellucci said these words just to test why Chie Ishihara is not here today.

But what she didn't expect was that Hanyu Hideki had no intention of chatting with her at all.

He just said, "That's exactly what it looks like."

Then he continued to pick up the unread files and read them.

After a while, Hanyu Hideki seemed to feel that there was no problem with the document, and after happily signing it, he returned it.

By the way, he also said the words to see off the guests, "Miss Monica, please."

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

Monica Bellucci became anxious immediately, and asked directly, regardless of probing.

"Haven't Mr. Hanyu's assistant come with you this time?"

Hideki Hanyu felt that Monica Bellucci's question was somewhat abrupt.

But he still replied casually, "I left Shi Yuan at Neon to handle the work."

After speaking, he said to Monica Bellucci, "If Miss Monica is okay, I will take my leave first."

Who would have thought that Monica Bellucci immediately said, "I have something to do."

"Uh……"

Hanyu Hideki just wanted to be polite, who would have thought that the other party really had something to do.

"Please say."

"Since Mr. Hanyu came to America this time without a secretary, I would like to recommend myself to be Mr. Hanyu's secretary."

Monica Bellucci speaks her mind.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu kept keeping a distance from her, Monica Bellucci understood that if she wanted to have a better relationship, she had to get close to Hideki Hanyu first.

And there is nothing more intimate than working as a secretary.

To some extent, this position has been in contact with the boss longer than the boss's family.

As for Monica Bellucci's words, Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised.

"Isn't Miss Monica working for Ms. Nadia?"

"It's just an errand job. Auntie can find other people to do it, but the opportunity to study with Mr. Hanyu is not available all the time."

Monica Bellucci is unabashedly flattering.

"Sorry, although I don't mind academic qualifications, I don't want to find an employee who will leave at any time. Ms. Monica should continue to study in Italy."

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that he really lacked a secretary in America, but he didn't plan to find a temporary worker either.

"As long as I can get a job offer, I can take a leave of absence. Isn't that very common in America?"

Monica Bellucci still doesn't give up.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he really wanted to complain.

Has Monica Bellucci in front of me read the "legendary" entrepreneurial story about Bill Gates in a tabloid?

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu did not agree, Monica Bellucci still did not want to give up.

Sky-high prices for private jets, luxury properties under construction, and the kind of life you dream of living.

Everything is stimulating Monica Bellucci.

She asked directly, "Mr. Hanyu, what do you think of my performance just now?"

"Not bad." Hideki Hanyu answered truthfully.

Monica Bellucci did a really good job talking to Boeing employees just now.

The service is just right, and they know how to measure, without expressing themselves too much.

"Since Mr. Hanyu is satisfied with my job, can you give me an internship opportunity to be your secretary?"

Monica Bellucci pleads.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he didn't immediately refuse, but thought about it first.

After leaving Zhihui Ishihara in Nihong, it is really inconvenient to have no one around to help.

Marco is a bodyguard after all, not a professional secretary.

And both Reiko Uemura and Chie Ishihara are better at dealing with neon work.

With more and more business in Europe and America, it is also necessary to consider having a secretary here.

Helps him with his entourage and acts as a liaison to America.

Monica Bellucci really has no problem in terms of work ability alone.

The most important thing is that this is a "ball flower".

Even if the ability to work is a bit weak, it is still very face-saving to keep it by your side and take it out to talk about work.

Beautiful women, no matter where they are, have advantages.

After thinking about this, he looked at Monica Bellucci.

"I can give you an internship opportunity, but you have to deal with the work with Ms. Nadia first.

The internship period lasts for the whole summer. If you pass the qualifications, you can stay. If you fail, you should continue to return to Italy to complete your studies. "

"Thank you Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you."

Monica Bellucci said excitedly.

In her heart, the first step towards Hanyu Hideki was finally completed.

"Miss Monica, after you have finished with Ms. Nadia, you can come and work for me."

After bidding farewell to Monica Bellucci, Hideki Hanyu felt a little strange.

Who would have thought that the famous Ball Flower would become his secretary.

But after the novelty, he asked Marco to take him to Jinbo Eiichi's room.

After the guy washed up and put on clean clothes, he looked refreshed.

"Jimbo-san, tell me, what happened?"

"Those international speculators are bastards, they..."

Next, Jinboying scolded those international futures speculators for more than ten minutes.

In the scolding, mixed with his experience of how he was scammed out of funds by these people.

However, these words were heard in Hideki Hanyu's ears, and they can be summed up in two sentences.

Relying on his two successes in the stock market, Jinbo Hideichi overestimated his ability.

Because even if he didn't know much about the futures market, he could tell that most of the responsibility for losing the money was on Eiichi Jinbo himself.

But considering the previous two times of making money with the help of the stock market, the other party contributed.

Although he also paid for it, there is still a favor after all.

In addition, this person is easy to use, seeing that it is not long before the signing of the Plaza Agreement, Hanyu Hideki does not mind giving the other party another chance.

"Jimbo-san, would you like to come back and work for me?"

"Of course I would."

Shinbohide lowered his face and asked Yada Yoshihiro about the whereabouts of Hanyu Hideki, and then ran all the way to America for this sentence.

"That's good. I'm bullish on the yen exchange rate in the next few months. You come up with a workable plan as soon as possible, and then we'll talk about it."

"Okay, no problem, I will start to make a plan, but now I..."

As soon as Jinboying said, he showed a troubled expression.

Hanyu Hideki knew that the other party was penniless, so he said directly, "I will arrange the living expenses for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you boss."

……

It's still early to say goodbye to Eiichi Jinbo.

Hanyu Hideki simply changed his clothes and went to the nearby iron gym to exercise.

By the time he finished his exercise and returned to the hotel, it was already evening.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he received a call from Yasuko Sawaguchi.

The girl confided to Hideki Hanyu about her lovesickness on the phone.

It means that the amateur golf tournament she participated in will end soon.

When the time came, he wanted to come to America to accompany Hideki Hanyu, and he said something shameful about missing him.

Hideki Hanyu naturally agreed.

Originally, he was busy with work, and he still had to waste his energy by pulling irons, so he didn't think much about women's affairs.

At this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi said so, only thinking that the sooner the girl comes, the better.

Even after hanging up the phone with the girl, when she was resting at night, she even had an erotic dream because of it.

What makes him strange is that the protagonist of this erotic dream is not Yasuko Sawaguchi who has aroused his mind.

It's the female secretary who hasn't arrived yet, Monica Bellucci.

Flaming red lips, burgundy waves...

Ok……

This is America, and she is not his lover.

If he really wants to do something stupid, he has no power to cover him up.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki quickly put the matter behind him.

Continue to work the next day, and use the iron to vent your energy by the way.

But the desire has been aroused.

How could it be easily suppressed.

That night, he had the same erotic dream as the day before.

As a result, at this moment, Yasuko Sawaguchi called.

"Hideki-kun, Yamaha just called. Our customized yacht has completed all the testing work and will be officially handed over to us. I will go to Osaka to pick up the boat after the game."

Obviously, Yasuko Sawaguchi will not be able to come to America in a short time.

What can Hideki Hanyu do?
Use work to distract attention, use iron to consume energy.

On this day, he was working in the office of Elf Entertainment.

The company reception called him.

"Mr. Hanyu, Miss Monica Bellucci is looking for you."

"Let her come up."

Hanyu Hideki put down the phone, and not long after, he heard a knock on the door.

His office in the sprite entertainment branch campus, like Michael Katz, is not in the main office building.

Rather, it is in a separate two-story office building.

It is connected with the main building by a semi-buried passage.

According to Michael Katz, bosses staring at employees all day does not increase employee productivity.

On the contrary, proper distance and giving employees enough space and distance will instead enable employees to gain creativity and inspiration.

Although Hanyu Hideki remains skeptical about the conclusion of this statement.

But it does approve of it.

At least away from the employees, his own office is very quiet.

After all, in this two-story office building, apart from Michael Katz and a few people in charge, no one else would bother him.

Opening the door, it was indeed Monica Bellucci standing outside.

But what surprised Hideki Hanyu was.

The "ball flower" standing in front of him at this moment is completely different from before.

Fitted women's suit skirt, while highlighting the figure, it will not look too much.

The big wine red waves were replaced by black ponytails.

The makeup on his face was light, and he also matched a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

The beauty is no longer, and maturity is out of the question. Instead, she looks like a pure school girl who just graduated from university and is new to the workplace.

I have to say that such a "ball flower" has a special temperament.

After admiring the unique "Ball Flower", Hideki Hanyu asked, "Miss Monica finished handling the work of Ms. Nadia?"

"It's been dealt with, and I can officially join the job from today."

Monica Bellucci also jokingly added, "So from now on, Mr. Hanyu can directly call me Monica."

Hanyu Hideki also smiled and changed his words when he heard the words, "Alright Monica."

Then he pointed to the glasses on the other person's face and asked, "I remember you shouldn't be short-sighted."

"I'm not nearsighted, so this is a flat lens."

Monica Bellucci explained by the way, "Actually, I learned from Mr. Hanyu and used it to match clothes, so that it looks more formal."

"Uh... as long as you like it."

Hideki Hanyu really wanted to say, with your outfit, it is easy for people to associate it with some kind of drama.

The boss and the female secretary wearing black-rimmed glasses....

Hideki Hanyu hastily stopped in his heart as soon as his imagination appeared.

It's all because the desire is aroused and there is nowhere to vent it, and that damned erotic dream.

In order not to continue thinking about it, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly said to Monica Bellucci.

"Miss Monica, please come in, I will take you to the office first."

Between Hideki Hanyu's office and the public area, there is also a secretary's office area.

After arranging the seats, Hanyu Hideki explained what he needs to do as a secretary.

After finishing his work, he continued to return to the office to work.

What he has to deal with today are some game designs and applications from third-party developers who need help.

Michael Katz recognized Hideki Hanyu's vision in this regard.

Therefore, as long as Hideki Hanyu is in America, even if the work in this area is finished, he will ask Hideki Hanyu to review it.

What Hideki Hanyu was looking at at this time was the game application of a local game company in the United States.

Electronic Arts.

That is the famous EA.

Speaking of EA, Michael Katz also dealt with the other party when he was negotiating licensing with the NBA last year.

That is, as early as the year before last, EA won the image authorization of Julius Owen and Larry Bird and developed their games.

Developed a basketball game called One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird.

However, this game is only authorized by players, and only on the PC side.

The success of this game allowed EA to see the potential of sports games, so it tried to start negotiating licensing with the NBA.

It just so happened that Elf Entertainment also came to talk about authorization at this time.

At this time, EA is not the American game giant in the future.

Whether it is financial resources or influence, it is naturally inferior to Elven Entertainment.

But NBA officials are not stupid, bargaining with EA and Elf Entertainment.

In the end, Elf Entertainment raised a lot of conditions.

Even in order to let EA withdraw, Elven Entertainment promised the other party that they can continue to use the image authorization of Julius Owen and Larry Bird.

And some elements of the NBA can be used in the game.

This matter made Michael Katz quite annoyed, and he and Hanyu Hideki complained a lot.

Perhaps because of the success of Pokeball 2, EA began to consider other platforms in advance.

The game reported this time is the handheld version of "One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird".

Because of what happened last year, Elf Entertainment didn't want to agree to the application.

But Hideki Hanyu finally agreed after reading the game design.

It's just that he was a little emotional that he was in another time and space.

He forced Sega to die, signed a series of unequal conditions, and helped Sega's MD console to suppress Nintendo FC's EA. In this life, he will be manipulated by his elf entertainment.

But you can't underestimate the other party. Although EA makes a lot of money from sports games, it doesn't just make money from sports games.

Although Hanyu Hideki knew about those IPs, he didn't think much about snatching them all.

Originally, there were too many excellent games in time and space, how many could he copy by himself.

Especially the further development goes, the bigger the game will become, and the slower the development speed will be.

In the beginning, Nintendo also limited the number of third-party developments per year.

But in later generations, it is normal for those excellent game masterpieces to be developed for three years.

Unless he learns the avatar technique, how many games can he develop by himself.

As long as you grab a few core IPs and build a platform based on this, are you afraid you won't make money?
Moreover, he is an outsider, so eating alone will not end well.

He doesn't even intend to have all the sports licenses in his hand developed by Elf Entertainment alone.

It is absolutely possible to find a third party to cooperate, share interests, and make more friends, so as to bond deeper and go further.

EA is one of the partners he considers.

Hideki Hanyu had just read EA's application documents and was about to continue with the rest of the work.

There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Monica Bellucci's voice, "Boss, it's me."

"Please come in."

"Boss, Boeing just called and said that they can participate in the test flight tomorrow. The itinerary will take two days. We will take off from San Jose Airport at pm, fly to the Seattle headquarters, and then have a one-day visit.

They ask do you have time? "

"Seattle..."

Hideki Hanyu originally wanted to say, isn’t Boeing’s headquarters in Chicago?
But as soon as the words were exported, it was realized that Boeing's headquarters was only relocated to Chicago in 2001.

Even so, Seattle is still Boeing's largest assembly plant in the world.

He thought about it, and there was nothing to deal with in the next two days, so he ordered.

"Monica, help me reply to Boeing, I have no problem here."

"Okay, boss."

Watching Monica Bellucci turn away.

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, it's just different to have a female secretary.

Otherwise, it would be too cheap to contact the itinerary with his big boss himself.

And to be able to use the future "Ball Flower" as a female secretary, it's amazing to think about it.

　Slowly adjust the update time, try not to let everyone stay up late, and I will stay up less by the way.
