Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 644: Marco Satisfies the Boss
Even Hanyu Hideki felt a headache when he heard the names said by Gang Hao.

Especially the one with the surname An. When he took Kuroki Hitomi to see a new house in Kamiyama-cho, Shibuya District, he was invited by the other party to visit her home.

Although they have no relationship and are not in the same camp, at least they are not enemies.

Well, that father and son have an unclear relationship with the Mitsubishi Group.

And now he is apparently a member of the Mitsui Group.

Although the two companies compete with each other openly, they actually maintain a tacit understanding in private, cooperate with each other, and do things that are beneficial to both parties.

Although Hideki Hanyu was very clear that as the Recruit bribery case continued to ferment, the people mentioned by Koichi Minato would eventually be implicated.

But the problem is that it's too early now.

Moreover, although Hideki Hanyu allowed Cloud Satellite TV to participate, it was not for the purpose of making himself the first to do so.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu began to think, weigh the pros and cons, and consider what to do next.

There was silence on the phone. Koichi Minato waited silently, not daring to disturb Hideki Hanyu's decision.

After all, such a big thing would be stressful even for Hideki Hanyu, not to mention his small body as an ordinary professional manager. How could he possibly handle it?

Moreover, it would be a good thing for Koichi Minato if Hideki Hanyu thought more, stayed calmer, and made his next plans more conservative.

After all, if something goes wrong and Yunshang Entertainment can't bear the pressure, then he, as the president of the TV station, might have to take responsibility.

After a long time, as Koichi Minato anxiously waited, Hideki Hanyu finally spoke.

“Among the people you mentioned just now, the former Defense Minister, the former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries… Once we have solid evidence, we can directly expose these people in the news.

As for the others, we only need to collect information for the time being and do not release any news to the public. Once other media pay attention to them, we will follow up as soon as possible. "

In the end, Hideki Hanyu decided not to be the first to take action.

The people he singled out are basically former senior executives who no longer have a position in the power structure and have very limited influence. Even if a scandal breaks out, it will have no effect on them at all.

As for the others, Hideki Hanyu plans to wait and see.

Anyway, even if there was no Cloud Satellite TV, the Recruit bribery case would still have broken out.

He just wanted to take advantage of this incident, but he never thought of taking it upon himself.

Let's let the left-wing young people like Asahi Shimbun take over.

It was just a shocking revelation, which was nothing to the Asahi Shimbun. Later, the extreme right-wing media led by the Sankei Shimbun frantically smeared the Asahi Shimbun, but it remained unmoved.

Of course, the left and right here have nothing to do with the left and right as understood in China.

It can be said that regardless of the left or right side of the Japanese media, they are basically extremely hostile towards China.

The Japanese people have been influenced by years of media propaganda and cultural influence, and their hatred towards China is even close to 80%.

Hideki Hanyu also had a deep understanding of this after traveling through time.

All he can do now is to make Yunshang Entertainment extremely entertaining in the media field. Even when talking about the news, it is just a bunch of messy comments from the hosts, as if they were performing crosstalk, completely blurring the stance.

Apart from news programs, all other programs of Yunshang Entertainment are entertaining and variety shows and absolutely do not involve any political issues.

Therefore, some uninformed people in the country should never have any good feelings towards the country of Japan.

When it comes to discrimination against Chinese people, Japan is the first to bear the brunt.

Neon was the first to write "Please do not make loud noises" in Mandarin at tourist attractions.

Everyone in the scenic area is littering, but the only warning signs are in Chinese.

Europeans and Americans cut in line when eating, but Chinese people will not accept them. This was also first done by Japan.

They even dislike Chinese tourists and directly use cloth to block the scenery that Chinese tourists like. Neon has done this many times.

It was also Japan that first raised prices and ripped off Chinese tourists.

Most of the unfriendly attitude of Koreans towards China is influenced by Japanese media and learned from Japan.

Of course, in response to Japan’s reckless thinking, the Chinese people said that they also thought so, and stated that if this time it starts, surrender will absolutely not be allowed.

It was precisely because Hideki Hanyu was influenced by his memories of his past life that, although he ran Neon as his base camp after traveling through time, he had basically no sense of identity or belonging to this damn place.

This is why he always acts on the principle of selfishness and only cares about himself.

Many superficial friendships, to put it bluntly, are just for the sake of making one's career and life smoother and more comfortable.

Even if he saw some bad people from his previous life or tragedies happening before his eyes, he would lend a hand, but that was only because of his personal compassion and sense of justice.

As his status and worth increased, and as he increasingly viewed people and things from the perspective of superiors and capitalists, his sympathy and sense of justice in Japan became increasingly indifferent.

To put it bluntly, it's just like those powerful people in Japan who are high and mighty and treat the lower class people like grass.

Even those Japanese dignitaries will more or less consider Japan itself no matter what.

But forget about asking Hanyu Hideki to consider this damn place.

This mentality of his has enabled him to enter the role of an international capitalist in advance.

After all, capital seeks profit and avoids harm, and has no nationality at all.

So everything he did was just acting for himself.

Hideki Hanyu’s mind was full of thoughts.

On the other end of the phone, after confirming Hanyu Hideki's order, Koichi Minato immediately responded, "I will follow the president's orders. Does the president have any other arrangements?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "No, I will leave for Hong Kong this afternoon. From now until the end of the month, I will be conducting business inspections in Asia. If there is any new development, please contact me as soon as possible."

"Yes, President, I will go and arrange the work first." Gang Haoyi replied.

"Go."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

At this time, the maid Machiko came upstairs to inform him, "Sir, your luggage has been packed. You can leave after lunch. The kitchen asked what you would like to eat for lunch."

Hanyu Hideki ordered, "Make steak. I plan to exercise next, so I need to get enough nutrition."

"Yes, sir, I will go and inform you now."

After saying this, Machiko said goodbye and left.

Hideki Hanyu changed into swimming trunks and went to the front yard to swim.

After swimming a few laps, although the scumbag was not a professional, he felt very good about himself. With his amazing physique, he might be able to make it to international competitions with a little training.

But he would never work hard in sports.

In his previous life, he could still say "bring glory to the country".

Now that he has traveled to Japan, it's good enough that he doesn't do anything secretly. Do you still expect him to bring glory?

However, he felt very good about himself and hadn't finished his exercise yet when Machiko came to report, "Sir, Ms. Hirohashi called."

"I see. Please ask her to wait."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki swam to the ladder and walked out of the swimming pool.

Seeing this, the maid waiting nearby came up quickly with a large towel to wipe the water off his body, and then put a bathrobe on him.

After receiving the service from the maid, Hideki Hanyu walked into the Yorozuya and answered the call from Hirohashi Asako.

"Qianzi-san, what's the matter with calling me suddenly?"

Hirohashi Asako asked, "Hanyu-san is going to Xiangjiang this afternoon?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Yes, didn't I ask Uemura Reiko to send you all a schedule notification?"

Hirohashi Asako said, "I just wanted to confirm because I have something to ask of you, Hanyu-san."

"Asaka-san, tell me, what's the matter?" asked Hanyu Hideki.

"Cloud Satellite TV Asia Channel, Taiwan Zhongyun TV (owned by Cloud Entertainment), and Hong Kong TVB are going to hold a joint media promotion event in Hong Kong. I have invited some artists from related parties to participate. I want to ask several artists who will be holding events tomorrow to take Hanyu-san's plane to Hong Kong."

Hearing that it was such a trivial matter, Hanyu Hideki didn't think much about it and agreed directly, "The plane takes off at 4 pm, ask them to go to Haneda Airport in advance to wait for me."

Hirohashi Asako said, "Thank you very much, Hanyu-san."

"This is Yunshang Entertainment's business. If I help them, I am also helping myself. Qianzi-san, there is no need to be so polite."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he chatted with Hirohashi Asako for a while.

After hanging up the phone, he returned to the front yard to swim.

This was followed by lunch, a short rest, and final preparations before departure, before leading the entourage to Haneda International Airport.

If he was alone on the plane, he would have dressed a little more casually.

Neon seems not far from Hong Kong, but in fact it takes at least four hours, so he naturally goes as he is comfortable.

Even if I have to socialize in Hong Kong, I will only prepare before getting off the plane.

But today I'm going to bring someone along, so I can't be too casual, so gold-rimmed glasses and a suit are a must.

After arriving at the airport, Hanyu Hideki saw several people who were trying to hitchhike and thought that there were quite a few acquaintances there.

The first is Hanyu Hideki’s old acquaintance, Matsuda Seiko, who is known as the number one idol of the Showa era.

Although she announced her retirement after marrying Kanda Masaki, Matsuda Seiko is not a woman who is willing to be ordinary and content to be a housewife.

So after her daughter was born, Seiko Matsuda quickly made a comeback. Although her popularity has declined compared to before, it is difficult for her to compete with the promoted queen Xiaopangcai.

But apart from Xiaopangcai, the other side still ranks firmly in the first tier of Neon.

And as Akina Nakamori announced that she would retire at the end of the year, Sony made a strong announcement that it would arrange for Seiko Matsuda to develop in America.

According to original history, Seiko Matsuda's second trip to the United States also began at this point in time.

But what’s interesting is that compared to Seiko Matsuda’s trip to the United States, the Japanese media is more concerned about Seiko Matsuda’s scandals and gossip.

Two months ago, the media discovered in Los Angeles that Seiko Matsuda and an American male musician she collaborated with were entering and leaving a hotel together.

Although after this incident was exposed, Sony came out to refute the rumor as soon as possible.

However, Seiko Matsuda still had to stop her permanent residence in Los Angeles and return to Japan to clarify the matter with her husband, saying that their relationship was very good.

When Sony was doing media public relations at the time, it also communicated with Yunshang Entertainment privately, hoping that Yunshang Entertainment would show mercy and not hype the matter.

Anyway, in the end, Hirohashi Asako agreed.

As for what benefits Sony gave to Yunshang Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to care.

But at the moment, Sony is actually willing to let Seiko Matsuda go to Hong Kong to help promote Cloud Satellite TV, and it is obvious that it agreed to many conditions at that time.

I remember when Hanyu Hideki had just traveled through time and was knocked down by Matsuda Seiko while submitting his work to Shogakukan, Matsuda Seiko's rumored girlfriend was still Go Hiromi.

But looking back at the past and looking at Seiko Matsuda now, she is a completely different person.

At that time, Seiko Matsuda had just debuted. She was a simple girl idol who wore a white skirt, had a student hairstyle, and sang the song "Green Coral Reef" that Hideki Hanyu liked very much.

But now, the other person has fashionable curly hair, her makeup is in the mature style popular in Europe and the United States, and her clothes are a black skirt with a leather jacket, which is very characteristic of this era.

It’s really interesting to think about it.

Seiko Matsuda and Xiaopangcai, who were once so popular, have now completed their transformation.

One is mature and elegant, the other is fashionable and individual.

Although both of them started out as girl idols, even people in the industry hardly regard them as pure idols nowadays.

While many female artists in the circle were still competing for titles such as the Four Heavenly Kings of Idols, the two had already jumped out of the circle.

Over the years, he has witnessed the development, peak, and current transformation of the hungry Japanese idol industry, and he will probably witness its decline in the 1990s again.

After Hanyu Hideki met up with everyone, Matsuda Seiko took the initiative to step forward and bowed to greet him with a smile on her face.

"President Hanyu, I am sorry to bother you this time."

In fact, compared to Hanyu Hideki's surprise when he saw Matsuda Seiko now, Matsuda Seiko's feelings when she saw Hanyu Hideki were much more complicated.

After all, she witnessed with her own eyes how Hideki Hanyu rose rapidly from a failed idol to become a world-famous media tycoon and super-rich man in a short period of time.

As an ambitious woman, whenever Matsuda Seiko recalls the collision at Shogakukan, she can't help but think that if she had decisively ended her relationship with Hiromi Go and actively pursued Hideki Hanyu, her career now might be completely different.

After all, she did have some feelings for Hanyu Hideki at that time.

Especially in the commercial for Qianceng Tutu, Hideki Hanyu made her heart beat more than once when he helped her record the song.

But the Hideki Hanyu at that time was not the Hideki Hanyu today.

She was unwilling to give up her career and Sony just for a little affection. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and time has proven that she underestimated Hanyu Hideki.

"Mrs. Kanda, you're welcome," Hanyu Hideki responded.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki had a good attitude, Matsuda Seiko quickly showed her signature sweet smile and said, "President Hanyu, please call me Seiko. After all, when we worked together, I was not anyone's wife."

"Yes, if you count the time, it has been almost eight years since I first met Shengzi-san." Hanyu Hideki said with a smile.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki still remembered what happened, Matsuda Seiko also said, "Speaking of that incident, I am really sorry. I knocked President Hanyu down when we first met."

"You don't have to apologize, Shengzi-san. After all, no one would call me president at that time."

Having said that, Hanyu Hideki looked at the others standing behind Matsuda Seiko and said, "It's almost time, let's go board the plane."

Since the senior, Seiko Matsuda, was chatting with him, these people naturally didn't dare to interrupt.

But in fact, among these people, although there were some he didn't know, there were also some he was familiar with.

For example, Nahoko Kawai, who became famous for her song "Moonlight Serenade".

For example, last year she won over 22% of the viewership with "My Mom is an Idol", and this year she continued to be popular with the drama "Young Wife Has Power". She has developed in three areas of film, television and music, and is listed among the four kings of idols. She is a girl idol, Miho Nakayama, whose appearance is completely different from that of later generations.

And among the last few people standing, Hanyu Hideki also found a girl who surprised him a little.

I remember one time, he and Yukio Tanaka went to Roppongi to have fun, and they picked up two girls on the street, and he eventually took one of them away.

The girl's name is Yoshida Makiko.

Although it was just a fleeting romance, the scumbag did not completely forget about her because he had some impression of Yoshida Makiko in his previous life and the girl was also very beautiful.

At this time, the last person in the crowd that Hanyu Hideki could recognize was Yoshida Makiko.

Hideki Hanyu never expected that the girl, who was an amateur at the beginning, has now joined the entertainment industry.

Miho Nakayama, who had just greeted Hanyu Hideki, noticed Hanyu Hideki's gaze and quickly introduced herself to him.

"President Hanyu, this is Yoshida Makiko, a junior who just signed a contract with my agency. Please consider her if you have the opportunity."

"I see."

After hearing what Nakayama Miho said, Hanyu Hideki did not explain that he knew Yoshida Makiko.

And he could also guess why Nakayama Miho said this, because after becoming famous, Nakayama Miho has now moved to the BIG APPLE agency.

What should we say about this agency, which is nicknamed "Big Apple" by fans? It is one of the newly established affiliated agencies of Suho Ikuo's burning department.

The reason for establishing this agency is to serve Miho Nakayama, whose popularity is rising rapidly.

According to the complaints of that little devil Koizumi Kyoko, it is said that this "Big Apple" firm, Ikuo Suho, also gave Miho Nakayama some shares or dividend promises.

So now Miho Nakayama is recommending the newcomers who have just signed with the agency to Hideki Hanyu, which can be regarded as expanding her own business.

Moreover, compared with Seiko Matsuda before and Nahoko Kawai later, although Nakayama Miho was still respectful when facing Hanyu Hideki, she was less nervous.

After all, because of the relationship between Hirohashi Asako and Suho Ikuo, Burning Series is the party with the most cooperation from Yunshang Entertainment in the entertainment industry.

Many people even joked privately that any good opportunities offered by Yunshang Entertainment would be given priority to the Burning Department. They might seem to be two different companies, but in fact they are simply one and the same.

Therefore, the Burning Department, which is "feared" by the outside world, has an indescribable familiarity with the Cloud Department, and is often treated as one of their own.

As they were talking, the group had already passed through the private aircraft channel and entered the airport, and took the airport shuttle bus to the "Yunshang" which was about to take off.

Looking at the huge aircraft in front of them, although many of the passengers had taken 747s before, it was indeed a commercial flight with hundreds of people on it.

However, the huge plane in front of us with the Yunshang Entertainment logo painted on it is privately owned.

And when they got on the plane, the shock was even stronger.

Many Japanese media have reported on the news about Hideki Hanyu's most luxurious private jet in the world, and they have all seen some of it.

But the feeling of shock that comes from reading the reports and actually entering this palace in the sky are completely different.

In their view, even the most ordinary passenger cabin on an airplane is far more luxurious than any first-class cabin on a commercial flight.

The word "wealth".

The unprecedented and extremely real embodiment appeared in their eyes and was clearly felt by them.

Hideki Hanyu is not surprised by these people's reactions.

In fact, if he had to choose, he would prefer to take the Spirit for short-haul flights like Hong Kong. After all, the 747 is too big. It is good for long-haul flights, but it is somewhat inconvenient for short-haul takeoffs and landings.

Unfortunately, Kitahara Eri went to Europe for a meeting about the investment and development of Daimu Logistics in Europe, and asked him to borrow the Elf.

Therefore, he could only use the 747 "reluctantly".

You should know that after the 747 landed at Kai Tak Airport, the parking fee for just one night was Hong Kong dollars, plus the expenses of the operating service company and the flight expenses.

If calculated in terms of money, he wouldn't be able to spend it all even if he flew first class on commercial flights for a month.

It can be said that the cost of flying a private jet is faster than the speed at which the Japanese yen is burned by throwing it into the engine.

Ordinary rich people definitely can't afford a private jet.

Even the small business jets of later generations are not affordable for ordinary wealthy people.

After they boarded the plane, it quickly entered the take-off queue, then climbed smoothly all the way and entered a stable cruising phase.

Hanyu Hideki unbuckled his seat belt, stood up from his chair, and said to everyone, "It will take more than four hours to get to Hong Kong. You are welcome to ask for anything you want. Just tell the flight attendant."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the private area in the back.

After Hanyu Hideki left, several passengers gradually relaxed from their stiff state.

Although there were Hideki Hanyu's entourage in the passenger cabin, such as bodyguards, stylists, assistants, etc.

But these people are not Hideki Hanyu after all, so the pressure on them will not be that great.

Therefore, after Seiko Matsuda took the lead in asking the flight attendant for a glass of ice water, the others followed suit and asked the flight attendant for some things they needed. Then they gathered in groups of three or four and whispered about this private jet, the activities in Hong Kong, etc.

At this time, Nakayama Miho also planned to talk to her junior in the office, Yoshida Makiko.

But when she just stood up, she saw that Yoshida Makiko had left her seat and was quietly walking towards the door leading to the private area at the back.

Seeing Yoshida Makiko's actions, how could Nakayama Miho, who has been determined to become a star since kindergarten and has been in the entertainment industry for many years, not know what Yoshida Makiko is planning.

After all, in a place like the entertainment industry, what is most lacking is people who want to take shortcuts.

As one of the tycoons in the Japanese entertainment industry, the weight of a single word from Hideki Hanyu is more significant than the lifelong efforts of many ordinary artists.

In order to gain opportunities, many female artists have almost made the pillow business a daily routine.

If these people had the chance to climb into Hideki Hanyu's bed, they would probably be willing to pay any price.

But when she saw Yoshida Makiko's actions, Nakayama Miho was still very disappointed.

After all, in her opinion, this young man who had just signed a contract with the agency and joined the entertainment industry had very good personal conditions and was very principled in life, unlike other colleagues who would do anything to succeed.

That's why she was willing to take the initiative to introduce him to Hideki Hanyu just now, thinking of promoting this junior.

What she didn't expect was that the so-called "principles" of this junior were immediately exposed after meeting Hanyu Hideki.

And in her opinion, Yoshida Makiko's attempt was doomed to be hopeless.

If Hideki Hanyu was so easy to approach, then all the female artists in the passenger cabin would probably run to the back.

I guess even Seiko Matsuda is the same. After all, although this senior is already married and has a daughter, her private style has been heard about in the industry. It is said that when she is on tour, she even brings her dancers back to the hotel.

As Miho Nakayama expected, the bodyguard guarding the door stopped Makiko Yoshida at the first moment.

In this situation, Nakayama Miho thought that whether this junior had gone into the wrong door or had some other ideas, he was destined to return empty-handed.

But the next moment, something happened that made Nakayama Miho drop her jaw.

Yoshida Makiko whispered a few words to the bodyguard, and then the bodyguard actually stepped aside and let Yoshida Makiko pass.

Not many people pay attention to Yoshida Makiko.

But everyone who saw it was amazed by what was happening before their eyes, and then everything that had happened before was spread by word of mouth and known to everyone.

One minute.

five minutes.

Ten minutes passed.

The expected scene of Yoshida Makiko's return did not appear.

Now it was Nakayama Miho's turn to be a little anxious.

She was willing to introduce Yoshida Makiko to Hanyu Hideki because she felt that Yoshida Makiko posed no threat to her, and once Yoshida Makiko made some progress, she could also indirectly help her make money.

But what if Yoshida Makiko is with Hanyu Hideki?

You can find out by referring to the combustion department’s predecessor, Kyoko Koizumi.

She can only get a little dividend from the new agency, but Koizumi Kyoko can no longer be considered a simple artist, but a burning partner who controls an agency on her own.

Even though she is the president of her current agency, her status in the combustion department is not as high as that of Koizumi Kyoko.

What is the reason for all this?
If it's because of popularity, then she is no worse than Koizumi Kyoko now, so why doesn't she have the same status as Koizumi Kyoko in the burning department?

The truth is, there is no one else except Hideki Hanyu.

Miho Nakayama wanted to join the entertainment industry since she was in kindergarten and started working as a model at the age of twelve. Her desire for the entertainment industry and her longing for fame almost reached a pathological level.

It can be said that Miho Nakayama, who has a lively and lovely public image, is actually a complete fame and fortune animal at heart.

Such a person would absolutely not tolerate anyone challenging her position in the firm.

I definitely don't want to see a new Kyoko Koizumi appear in the Burning system.

Thinking of this, Miho Nakayama knew she couldn't wait any longer.

She immediately stood up from her chair and, under the curious gazes of others, walked to the door like Yoshida Makiko.

Then the bodyguard stopped her.

"Miss, you can't go to the back. If you want to go to the bathroom, it's in the front of the passenger compartment."

Facing the bodyguards, Miho Nakayama displayed unprecedented acting skills.

With an anxious, urgent, and shy expression, I whispered to the bodyguard, "I am the companion of the girl who just went in. She said she would go in and asked me to wait for a while before going in."

Miho Nakayama's ambiguous words are completely a matter of luck.

After she finished speaking, she saw the bodyguard looking at her suspiciously.

He seemed to open his mouth to say something.

But at this moment, a grim-looking man suddenly walked out from the private area at the back.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguard hurriedly went up to report to the man in English, glancing at Miho Nakayama as he spoke.

After listening to the bodyguard's words, the cold-faced man looked at Nakayama Miho with a strange expression, and then spoke in the not-so-fluent Neon language.

"Come in, the boss should be in the third study room behind the living room."

Although Nakayama Miho didn't know what the strange expression on the cold-faced man meant, she didn't care too much when she heard that she could go in.

"Thank you."

After expressing her gratitude, Nakayama Miho walked between the two of them and entered the private area whose decoration was comparable to that of a palace in the sky.

After passing through a huge and luxurious living room where no one was seen, she came to the door of the study room mentioned by the grim-faced man.

She approached the door carefully, and was wondering how to get in when she heard some strange noises through the door.

Miho Nakayama carefully put her ear against it.

The next moment, she heard clearly that it was Yoshida Makiko's voice.

"Well... sir... I hope I can make you happier than last time..."

at the same time.

After arranging his men to keep an eye on Nakayama Miho from a distance, Marco, who was already sitting in the passenger seat, said secretly.

"The boss will definitely be satisfied with my decision."
