Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 520 Do something interesting
The evening of the last day of August.

A lively party is being held at the mansion at No. 6 Pak Kin See Road, Hong Kong.

"Congratulations to Miss Zhou, I wish Miss Zhou a great record sales!"

"I wish Miss Zhou a great record sales."

"Best wishes to Miss Zhou..."

At the entrance of the mansion, every guest will send blessings to Zhou Huimin who is standing in front of the door to greet them.

If you look carefully at these people, you will find that most of them come from the Hong Kong entertainment industry, with big-name celebrities in front of and behind the scenes.

Of course, in addition to people in the entertainment industry, there are also some upper-class celebrities in Hong Kong, as well as political and business people.

Today is the celebration party for Zhou Huimin's official debut.

Although the album was just released yesterday and the sales volume cannot be summarized at present, it does not prevent everyone from congratulating him in advance.

As one of Coca-Cola’s most important partners, Swire Group has promoted Coca-Cola’s return to the mainland this year.

It’s no wonder that Zhou Huimin is not familiar with them. The foreign families in Xiangjiang may not seem to be as high-profile as the Chinese wealthy, but they are all invisible super-rich families that cannot be underestimated.

"People from the Schwaiya family." Hanyu Hideki said.

As soon as Pan Disheng went upstairs, he saw Hanyu Hideki toasting and chatting with a ghost guy. He also knew this person. He was a member of the famous Shi Huaiya family in Xiangjiang.

However, the other party was not sincere enough and did not find out the details of Vigorous Convenience Store in a short period of time, so he just dealt with it in a conciliatory manner, and no specific matter was negotiated.

After all, unlike other Hong Kong rich men, he doesn't like to hold parties at home. This opportunity to meet him through Zhou Huimin's party is a rare opportunity.

For example, Pan Disheng took his girlfriend Yang Ziqiong to send congratulations and gifts to Zhou Huimin, and then went straight to the second floor of the mansion.

Moreover, these families have considerable investment vision. For example, the Swire Group has been optimistic about the mainland market for a long time. This year, it began to fully invest in the mainland, which is bolder than many overseas Chinese wealthy people.

After Hanyu Hideki returned to the second floor, Pan Disheng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up and said something unexpectedly.

The reason why these people in the entertainment industry attended the party to give face to them was naturally not because of Zhou Huimin, but to give face to Yunshang Entertainment behind them.

After the rise of short video platforms, Taikoo Li Chengdu, a famous street photography mecca and block-style shopping mall, was invested and built by Swire Properties.

"We are just releasing the news now, and the stock market has immediately given feedback. The market value of Desheng Group has exceeded HK$4 billion."

"Mr. Schweizer, I had a great time chatting with you today. I will consider cooperating with you. Goodbye."

Pan Disheng's tone could not conceal his excitement.

Hanyu Hideki was equally happy, after all, he still held 17% of the shares of Disheng Group.

It was just an excuse for these celebrities to attend Zhou Huimin's party, but their real purpose was to meet him.

Just wait for the TGC autumn and winter fashion show to end in one week, and the first TGC Shop in Hong Kong will be officially opened.

At the door of the mansion, Hanyu Hideki said goodbye to him.

Hanyu Hideki didn't explain any more, because there were other guests waiting for him upstairs.

As for those upper-class celebrities, most of them came for other goals.

To be precise, I want to cooperate with the Vigorous convenience store in the UK.

The business sense of this old family is indeed extraordinary. The Vigorous convenience store has only been open for a few months, and these guys came to it after smelling it.

"Oh? Mr. Hanyu, can you tell me?" Pan Disheng asked curiously.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was talking to this person, Pan Disheng didn't want to disturb him, so he went to chat with the Xu family master beside him.

"I didn't expect that the Schweizer family would come. They never like to show up."

Zhou Huimin nodded, "I've heard of it, but I'm not very familiar with it."

They wanted to cooperate with Hanyu Hideki in the retail business.

The Central store that Hideki Hanyu took over from Luo Zhaohui has now been almost renovated by Pan Disheng.

It is certainly true that he bought the Australian energy company from the Swire Group, but today the Swire family sent people to contact him, but it was not for this matter.

In another time and space, the market value of Disheng Group reached more than HK$4 billion. This was during its heyday in the 1990s.

Hideki Hanyu replied casually, "There is some business cooperation."

But in today's time and space, through the cooperation of Aiyi International, the support of Yunshang Entertainment in the media industry, and the assistance of TGC, Desheng Group has achieved this goal ahead of schedule.

After all, he is engaged in the luxury goods agency business, a small business, and it is impossible for him to get involved in a big deal like energy investment.

Zhou Huimin showed a puzzled expression as if she knew but couldn't remember.

After Hanyu Hideki finished explaining, Pan Disheng immediately looked as if he was in a daze, but did not continue to ask.

The chat between Hanyu Hideki and this member of the Schweizer family did not last long, and he soon walked the other party out the door with a smile on his face.

Zhou Huimin, who was smiling at the side for company, asked curiously, "Who is this gentleman?"

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu said, "Have you ever heard of the Swire Group?"

Pan Disheng did not ask any more questions, and Hanyu Hideki would not say any more.

After Pan Disheng was curious about the purpose of the Swire family, he then chatted with Hanyu Hideki about the progress of TGC licensing cooperation.

"It's nothing inconvenient. My company has recently purchased several energy companies in Australia, among which the Schweizer family has invested."

It also brought him generous returns on his investment.

So Hideki Hanyu immediately raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Pan."

Pan Disheng also raised his glass, "I should say congratulations to us."

"Yes, congratulations to us."

At this point, Hanyu Hideki's tone suddenly changed, "But there is something I must tell Mr. Pan in advance."

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's slightly serious tone, Pan Disheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What's the matter? Mr. Hanyu, please tell me."

Hanyu Hideki extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, "I would like to ask Mr. Pan to lend me a moment to speak."

After saying that, he led Pan Disheng into a room on the second floor, leaving even Yang Ziqiong outside.

When there was no one around and the noisy sound of queuing outside was blocked by the door, Hanyu Hideki asked Pan Disheng.

"After TGC Shop opens, will Desheng Group launch a rights issue?"

Pan Disheng nodded, "Yes, the announcement has been sent out."

"I plan to sell the shares of Disheng Group later."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Pan Disheng immediately showed a look of horror.

Whether it is Ai International, the help from the entertainment industry, or the current TGC cooperation, the biggest connection between Pan Disheng and Hanyu Hideki is that both parties are shareholders of the Disheng Group and share common interests.

Now that Hideki Hanyu said that he wanted to sell the shares of Disheng Group, how could Pan Disheng not think more about it? The insecurity in the cooperation arose spontaneously.

Pan Disheng seemed to want to say something, but Hideki Hanyu explained first.

"Mr. Pan, listen to me. I will make a big move in Europe next and need financial support. Selling stocks is a last resort and will not affect our cooperation in any way.

This is why I told Mr. Pan in advance that I have no shortage of buyers for those stocks, but if Mr. Pan intends to buy them, I will definitely sell them to Mr. Pan first. "

Hanyu Hideki's words are naturally half-truth and half-false.

Aiyi International naturally lacks funds to take action against LVMH Group. After selling all the shares of Disheng Group, it will definitely be able to help.

But this is not the most important reason. The most important thing is that the stock market crash is coming soon, and the stock price of Disheng Group is already at a high point.

This fall is not just a little bit, maybe it can be cut in half. Even if it can rise back in the end, it will take a lot of time.

There is nothing wrong with doing something with so much money, and being stuck in the Hong Kong stock market is undoubtedly the stupidest decision.

When Pan Disheng heard this, although he didn't know what Hanyu Hideki was planning to do in Europe, it was definitely more important than the Disheng Group.

Therefore, he understood that it was meaningless to persuade Hanyu Hideki to give up.

So after thinking about it for a while, he said to Hideki Hanyu, "My current liquidity is limited. It would be okay if Mr. Hanyu is not in a hurry. I can slowly raise funds, but now it seems that Mr. Hanyu may not have time to wait for me." "

"Yes, what I lack most now is time, but please don't worry, Mr. Pan. If my action this time is successful, it will definitely be a good thing for Mr. Pan."

"Oh, I'm curious about what Mr. Hanyu is planning to do."

Looking at Pan Disheng with a curious look on his face, Hanyu Hideki just said. "Mr. Pan will know soon."

……

At No. 6 Bai Jianshi Road under the darkness of night, Zhou Huimin saw off the last guest at the gate, turned around and walked towards the yard.

Inside and outside the house, several Filipino maids were cleaning up the scene after the party.

On the balcony on the second floor, Hanyu Hideki stood there with a wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was looking at.

When Zhou Huimin got closer, he said without looking back, "It must be hard to socialize."

The beauty gently hugged Hanyu Hideki and put her head on the man's back, "I'm a little tired. It's the first time to entertain so many people."

"Haha, this is just the beginning. When you become an artist, in addition to these social activities, you also have various activities and schedules. Sooner or later you have to get used to it."

"As you said, I regret posting the film. I always feel that my original impulse to become a star is getting weaker and weaker."

"This is normal. Others can't buy the house under your feet even if they sell records for a lifetime. A year of hard work is not as expensive as the piano I gave you. There are no more material pursuits. From now on, just treat it as a hobby."

After hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Zhou Huimin turned her body to face the man, stood up on tiptoes and pecked the man on the mouth, and said with a tender face.

"It's all because you doted on me so much that I stopped pursuing you."

Hanyu Hideki raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you mean by saying this, you should be treated less harshly?"

"No, I want you to be good to me throughout my life."

Zhou Huimin hugged Hanyu Hideki tightly.

The scumbag just smiled slightly when he heard this.

Then, the little beauty began to murmur in a voice that only Hanyu Hideki could hear.

"Today I met a lot of big stars and rich people, and they were all very polite to me. I know they did this because of you, but I'm also under a lot of pressure. I'm so afraid that the record won't sell well enough and everyone will laugh at me. I."

Hanyu Hideki comforted him, "No, at least you have to have confidence in the songs I wrote."

Zhou Huimin said, "But there are so many outstanding newcomers this year. Have you seen the people Anita Mui brought today?"

"No, I really want to know, has she broken up with that neon boyfriend?"

The boyfriend Hanyu Hideki mentioned was of course Kondo Masahiko.

"I heard from people in the company that they seemed to have broken up, and they were defrauded of a lot of money by that man. I heard..."

When Zhou Huimin talked about gossip, she immediately became gushing.

Hanyu Hideki also listened with interest, but only for fun.

After all, the gap between Anita Mui and Masahiko Kondo is too big for him now.

After Zhou Huimin gossiped for a while, she finally remembered what she wanted to say when she mentioned Anita Mui.

"The three people Anita Mui brought today are the winners of this year's talent show jointly organized by the company and TVB. Their group name is quite strange, what is it called Grasshopper? They have been performing with Anita Mui in the past."

"Huh?" Hanyu Hideki was a little surprised when he heard the name Grasshopper.

Anita Mui discovered Grasshopper and he knew it.

But in another time and space, Grasshopper should have signed with PolyGram Records this year.

The company Zhou Huimin mentioned was naturally Yunshang Entertainment.

So in this time and space, Anita Mui sent Grasshopper to participate in the talent show jointly organized by Cloud Entertainment and TVB to imitate "Star Creation", and she even won the championship.

Now I am determined to sign a contract with Yunshang Music, and there is no need to worry about PolyGram Records. This is another indirect poaching of PolyGram.

In the eyes of later generations, Grasshopper was the old enemy of the Beyond band. Now that both companies are under the same record company, they will be fighting against themselves from now on.

However, the appearance of Grasshopper helped Hideki Hanyu solve a problem.

That was what Asako Hirohashi asked him to do before setting off.

Let him help control the results of the talent shows in Xiangjiang and Wanwan, and see which of the outstanding contestants on both sides are worthy of investing resources in training.

After all, if this is the first time we cooperate, if the winning player is not popular, then the first step of Yunshang Entertainment's Asia strategy will definitely be affected.

Originally, he wanted to finish the party and go to the Hopewell Center to deal with the matter tomorrow. But now that he knows that Grasshopper is the winning contestant, the matter will be much easier to handle.

Grasshopper is different from the Beyond band. The Beyond band focuses on original works. He was unable to directly help with the works. In the end, he could only export to domestic sales.

But as for the Grasshopper group, all their popular songs in their previous lives were covered by covers, such as "Half Dim Sum", "Lovelorn Front Alliance", "Baby I'm Sorry", etc. They were either in France or Thailand, and they were picking up some neon wool by the way.

And this is actually the best solution.

I dare not say anything else about Yunshang Music. Backed by the neon music market, a company’s talent pool can easily outperform all of Asia.

When the time comes, we will directly search for suitable songs all over the world, and arrange and rewrite the lyrics in an assembly line to ensure that Grasshopper is the first hit.

As for covers, no one cares about that now anyway.

Besides, if there aren’t many covers, how can we highlight the preciousness of the originals?
The persona created by Yunshang Music for the beyond band is the final strength of Xiangjiang’s original music.

When the neon band era comes, we will deliberately publicize it in the media and have a band confrontation to create the impression that the beyond band is the last force of resistance.

What, you said there are other original bands in Xiangjiang?
Sorry, in this day and age where media is king.

The big capital that controls the media allows everyone to see whatever they want.

In another time and space, Grasshopper was able to beat Beyond in six consecutive awards by singing cover songs.

In this time and space, he said that the Beyond band was the last original force in Hong Kong.

That's the band Beyond.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?"

Hanyu Hideki was thinking about Grasshopper's arrangements and was silent for a while. Zhou Huimin couldn't help but raise his head and ask.

But after asking, the little beauty with gold-rimmed glasses and handsome face suddenly couldn't help but tiptoe to peck her.

After coming back to his senses, Hideki Hanyu looked down at the little beauty and asked with a smile, "What is Vivian doing?"

Zhou Huimin just stared at the man's face and replied, "My dear, you are so beautiful."

"Why do you always care about my appearance? You are just like that...haha!"

Before Hanyu Hideki finished speaking the lines in his memory, he couldn't help laughing.

In Zhou Huimin's confused eyes, his laughter became weaker and weaker.

Until it finally fades into silence.

Whenever this happens, there will always be a sense of loneliness in his heart that belongs to those who travel through time.

Zhou Xingxing, who filmed this movie, must have started to play small supporting roles in TV series by this time.

He had thought before about discovering the King of Comedy in advance, but in the end he gave up and just let the other person develop naturally.

Although Zhou Xingxing's box office is high, it is no longer important to him now.

And as the largest theater chain owner in Hong Kong, the higher the box office of Zhou Xingxing, the more he earns.

In fact, instead of directly discovering Zhou Xingxing, he wanted to do something special and wealthy in Xiangjiang.

For example, invest in "Westward Journey", then hide it for 20 years before releasing it to the public, and then see how much box office it can sell at that time.

Or spend money to let Jet Li make a sequel to "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and then wait for it to be released ten or twenty years later.

He found things like this interesting just by thinking about them.

After traveling through time, you can't just make money and pick up girls. It's actually good to do something interesting like this.

"Sir, Miss Zhou, the house has been cleaned."

At this moment, a Filipino maid came up to report.

Zhou Huimin ordered, "Then you can go and rest."

After giving instructions to the Filipino maid, the little beauty looked up at Hideki Hanyu and said in a gentle tone.

"Honey, it's time for us to rest too."
