Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 655: Rejecting Them with Righteous Words
July 21st.

A board meeting has just ended at Cisco headquarters in San Jose.

The agenda of this board meeting is naturally about John Chambers' proposal to acquire Qualcomm.

At the beginning of the meeting, as expected, Cisco founders Leonard Posa and his wife directly expressed their opposition.

"Cisco is developing so smoothly now, which proves that our business direction is correct. In this case, we should continue to focus on what we are good at and there is no need to enter unfamiliar fields. So Santie Lerner and I opposed this acquisition."

After Leonard Bosack said this, John Chambers naturally had to defend himself and persuade him, and his words were nothing more than some business philosophy of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

But how could the stubborn Leonard Bosack and his wife listen to John Chambers' words?

So no matter how John Chambers explained, the two remained unmoved.

However, the couple did not know that it was their remarks and stubbornness that ruined their last chance.

In the meeting between Hideki Hanyu and Don Valentine the day before yesterday, Hideki Hanyu finally agreed with Don Valentine's idea and would help Don Valentine end Leonard Bosack and his wife's rights in Cisco.

But in the end he still gave them a chance.

That is, as long as the two agree to John Chambers' proposal and cooperate with Cisco's strategic plan, Hideki Hanyu will let them go in a more decent way, or perhaps not so cruelly.

Obviously, the two did not seize the last chance.

Therefore, when the two continued to insist on their own opinions, Hideki Hanyu looked at each other and secretly reached a final understanding with Don Valentine.

The result of this tacit understanding was that the board of directors ignored the opposition of Cisco founder Leonard Bosack and forcibly passed John Chambers' Qualcomm acquisition plan.

If the plan is finally implemented smoothly, Cisco will complete its absolute control over Qualcomm, and Qualcomm's board of directors will also receive a portion of Cisco's shares and cash.

To complete the acquisition, Hideki Hanyu and Don Valentine agreed to inject more capital into Cisco.

If the transaction is completed smoothly, according to the new board structure, Hideki Hanyu's shareholding in Cisco will drop directly to 31%.

Of course, the ones who were even worse off than him were Leonard and his wife.

The two's shares were diluted again, and with several Qualcomm founders joining Cisco's board of directors, their voice was greatly weakened.

John Chambers was even instructed to adjust the positions of the two people in the company on the spot.

Leonard Bosack hasn't changed much in the research department.

However, his wife Sandi Lerner was completely "expelled" from the sales department by means of a lateral transfer, and all her rights were taken over by Egg, the deputy director of sales.

The entire Cisco sales department applauded this decision. After all, many Cisco sales employees had been fed up with Sandy Lerner, the emotionally unstable founder.

It's okay for people to work for the salary, but no one wants to have an old woman who is in menopause, irritable and easily loses her temper with them.

After the board meeting, everyone left, leaving only Cisco's founders Leonard Bosack and his wife, Hideki Hanyu, and Don Valentine in the meeting room.

Leonard Bosack and his wife looked at Hideki Hanyu and Don Valentine who were sitting opposite them, thinking about what they had just experienced at the board meeting, and questioned them in an indignant tone.

"Why!"

Faced with questioning, Hideki Hanyu remained silent.

Don Valentine uttered his words calmly.

"Sorry, you're out."

……

After the Cisco incident, Hideki Hanyu stayed in San Jose for another two days. During this time, in addition to trying his best to meet Monica Bellucci's requirements for having a baby, he mainly handled some official business here.

The future development of Pokémon Entertainment, such as the launch of the second generation of Pokémon Fight, a battle-based electronic pet, the research and development progress of the next-generation consoles and the problems encountered during the research and development period, the development of the global market, etc.

Of course, there is also Shenling Vision who has been working silently in the industry.

Under the leadership of Lao Huang and relying on the support of Elf Entertainment in the gaming field, Shenling Vision is showing signs of catching up and becoming an industry leader in a period when the overall semiconductor industry is declining.

This development trend has finally begun to attract the attention of high-quality investors. Dante Kane, who hopes to invest in angel investors, has also received more investment negotiations regarding Divine Vision recently.

However, if you want to join the game now, you can no longer get it under the original conditions. After all, Hideki Hanyu has invested tens of millions of dollars, and the profits of Divine Vision have gradually stabilized.

In short, everything is going well for Hideki Hanyu's business in San Jose, and there won't be any major changes in the short term. The investment in Divine Vision is by no means something that can be negotiated overnight.

Even in Hideki Hanyu's plan, if the conditions offered by investors cannot satisfy him, he would rather wait until the second-generation PS console is on the market, and then hype up the 3D concept and directly launch Divine Vision on the market.

……

July 23rd.

In the evening, Hideki Hanyu returned to Los Angeles by helicopter.

Instead of returning to Hibiscus Gardens, the plane landed directly at Los Angeles International Airport.

Here, he met Christiana Yeri, who had just finished her work and came to America to find him.

After getting off the plane, she was greeted by a luxurious private helicopter. Hideki Hanyu's action naturally gave the French beauty a great surprise and shock.

However, this is just the beginning in Hideki Hanyu's plan.

Recently, his trip started from Japan and spread across Asia, followed by Europe and America.

Even though it's for my career, it's normal to be busy.

But now I have finally finished dealing with the things at hand, and it's time to have a good rest and relax.

Therefore, after meeting Christiana Yeri, the next destination of Hideki Hanyu and this peerless beauty was the gambling city of Las Vegas.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas.

The helicopter landed on the helipad on the roof of the hotel. Hideki Hanyu was received by the hotel staff and took a special elevator to the "villa"-level suite he had booked.

After changing into a refreshing casual outfit, Hideki Hanyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the suite and hugged the beauty and gave her a wolf kiss.

After the beauty he kissed became breathless, he let go of her and pointed at the night view of Las Vegas outside the window.

"Next, just enjoy it with me."

After saying that, he turned the beauty's body, pressed her against the French window, and slowly unzipped the back of her long skirt.

……

July 29th.

Hideki Hanyu walked out of the cabin of the "Yun Shang" and smelled the smell of burning tire rubber due to brakes. Looking at the familiar Haneda International Airport in front of him, he knew that he had arrived in Tokyo.

However, the previous stop before returning to Tokyo was not Las Vegas for vacation, but Bologna Marconi Airport in Italy.

Although he and the beautiful Christiana Yeri had a great time in Las Vegas, they actually only stayed there for four days.

During this period, the scumbag not only had fun himself, but also spent a lot of money on Christiana Yeri in the money-spending dens of Las Vegas.

There is a saying in later generations: If you want to make ordinary girls "fall" and "degenerate" as quickly as possible, then let them obtain luxury goods in the easiest and most accessible way, but don't tell them that these things are what they should have worked hard to get.

Then once she gets used to a life of luxury and detachment from her reality, it will be difficult for this girl to go back to the way she was before.

If you add some status and power to consumption.

It would only be more difficult for the trapped girl to break free.

For Hideki Hanyu, he doesn't even need to do it deliberately. He just does things according to his own habits, which is hard for ordinary girls to resist.

For example, Christiana Yeri.

The job that Hideki Hanyu easily provided was the level that her family would have to struggle for half their lifetime to reach.

When Hideki Hanyu was shopping with her in Las Vegas, he spent money without even looking at the prices. This led to the situation that when he was taking Christiana Yeri back to Europe, there were so many luxury goods that they had to be transported in the cargo hold of the "Cloud".

There is no need to calculate the amount of money spent, even the famous French stars would find it difficult to afford it.

Fame, wealth, status, power, and many other temptations are mixed together like a huge spider web. It is not easy to escape.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu didn't go to Europe from Las Vegas to see Christiana Yeri off.

Yesterday, the new factory built by Toyota for Lamborghini was officially completed, and Hideki Hanyu went to Lamborghini's Sant'Agata headquarters to attend the completion ceremony.

After all, he had promised to praise Toyota after the completion of the project, and Hanyu Hideki would certainly not go back on his word.

However, although the factory has been completed, it is not easy to start production immediately.

Equipment debugging before production and worker training both take time.

However, these matters are handled by Wendelin Wiedeking, who is an engineer, so the investor Hideki Hanyu does not need to worry about them.

What Hideki Hanyu needs to be concerned about is Lamborghini's newly established publicity and marketing department, which is responsible for the publicity and marketing of Lamborghini's new mass-produced models.

After absorbing Hideki Hanyu's suggestions, Lamborghini's publicity and marketing department has actively begun to discuss cooperation with Elf Entertainment and Yunshang Pictures.

According to the plan, when the Lamborghini "Maverick" is officially unveiled next year, he will probably be able to see related games and film and television works at the same time.

Of course, in addition to attending the completion ceremony of the new factory.

Hanyu Hideki also learned about the acquisition of British Leyland Group.

What we found out was that the British officials were too careless and slow in their work, even though they had already agreed with British Airways and signed a contract with Leyland Group.

However, it would probably take at least two or three months to complete the final transaction transfer and sort out all the issues in the transaction.

In this regard, neither Hideki Hanyu nor Wendelin Wiedeking actually has any better solution and can only wait for those gentlemen to go through the process.

After finishing his work in Europe, Hideki Hanyu hurried back to Neon.

It’s not that he had to make himself so anxious, but there was an emergency in Neon and he had to rush back early.

By the time others got off the plane, it was almost seven in the afternoon.

But as soon as he got out of the airport, he saw a rather luxurious reception waiting for him.

Led by Hirohashi Asako, with Yunshang Satellite TV's president Koichi Minato standing next to him, as for the assistants' office, everyone came directly to Kamimura this time.

Hanyu Hideki walked up to them and said helplessly, "It's already this hour, do those guys have to talk now? Can't they wait until tomorrow?"

Hirohashi Asako said, "Of course they are anxious. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division has already begun summoning the parties who were exposed."

Hanyu Hideki chuckled and said, "That means they are not anxious, but afraid."

Gang Haoyi next to him added, "You can say that, otherwise they wouldn't have offered us such good terms to trade with."

However, as soon as Gang Haoyi finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki immediately said firmly, "No! In this matter, no matter who you are, you cannot have any direct transactions with them."

The only thing that could have caused Hanyu Hideki to come back from Europe and caused so many people like Hirohashi Asako to come to the airport to pick him up in person was the Recruit bribery case.

Knowing the outcome of this incident, Hideki Hanyu understands that no matter what kind of benefits they can offer to those involved in the case, they cannot have any substantial transactions with the other party.

Even Hideki Hanyu needs to stay away from this storm. Once involved, he will be in great trouble, let alone others.

Until now, those big shots who were dug up by the media, investigated to the point of ecstasy, and directly led to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department starting to summon them, have begun to try to silence the media and prevent the matter from escalating.

As the most active media outlet after the Recruit bribery case broke out, Yunshang Media was second only to Asahi Shimbun. Naturally, during this period, it received hints from certain forces hoping that they would reduce their coverage of the incident.

Of course, when the other party makes a request, they naturally also imply various kinds of rewards.

Recently, they have even skipped indirect hints and started to directly contact the Yunshang system.

After learning this, Hideki Hanyu had to return to Tokyo immediately.

He was afraid that someone would not be able to resist the temptation and would actually reach some deal with those people and end up being deeply involved.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki called out to the others, "Get in the car first, and we'll talk on the way."

In order to facilitate the subsequent conversation, the next few people got into a black nanny car of Yunshang Entertainment.

As the car started and slowly drove out of the airport parking area, Hideki Hanyu looked out the window and saw the Tokyo sky shrouded in dark clouds.

Such a scenery, combined with what is happening at the moment.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but sigh, "The storm is coming."

"what?"

Since Hanyu Hideki spoke in Mandarin, Hirohashi Asako didn't understand what he said and asked out of curiosity.

"I mean the weather in Tokyo is really bad," Hanyu Hideki replied casually.

Hirohashi Asako glanced out the car window and said, "Not all Tokyo looks like this during the rainy season. It's definitely not as sunny as the west coast of America."

Hanyu Hideki grinned and said, "Some people feel the same way."

Hirohashi Asako, who had no idea how the Recruit bribery case would end, followed Hanyu Hideki's words.

"Isn't it convenient for us to propose conditions for those people at this time? For example, a digital satellite broadcasting license..."

As soon as Hirohashi Asako finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki immediately said in a mocking tone.

"That should have been approved. They are really shameless to trade with us something that belongs to us."

Koichi Gang beside him asked in confusion, "If we don't negotiate with them, then what's the point of meeting them next?"

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"Of course, we just reject them with all our might."
