Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 664 Vigorous Development
"Darling, what are you looking at?"

The familiar voice sounded in his ears, which made Hideki Hanyu somewhat uncomfortable.

By the way, he had to apologize for the complaints he had made in his mind about Marco yesterday.

His bodyguard certainly didn't misunderstand him, and he also overestimated his own integrity.

After leaving Cheng Long last night, Marco got out of the car downstairs of Guan Zhilin's apartment. After Guan Zhilin started the attack, the battle quickly shifted from the car to Guan Zhilin's apartment.

That is where Hideki Hanyu is at this moment.

Hideki Hanyu can certainly find many reasons for his behavior last night.

For example, he deliberately deepened his relationship with Guan Zhilin in order to prepare for the subsequent adjustments to Asian theaters.

Or maybe he had been holding it in for too long with the pregnant Zhou Huimin, causing internal heat to build up and he couldn't control it for a while.

But putting aside these excuses that can only deceive himself, Hideki Hanyu must admit two points.

That is, Miss Guan is really too beautiful, so beautiful that it is difficult for men to refuse her.

Furthermore, he really didn't keep the little tree under control.

Including now.

Guan Zhilin was wearing a lace suspender pajamas and leaned on his shoulder to ask curiously. The fragrance of the beauty and her figure pressed against his back made the scumbag hug the beauty into his arms.

Then I took off my suspenders and started exercising early in the morning.

I don’t know how long it will take.

Guan Meiren felt cool all over, panting as she lay in Hanyu Hideki's arms, and said coquettishly, "It wasn't enough that you tormented me last night, and you tormented me again this morning."

"You offered this to me to seduce me." The scumbag said as if it was a matter of course.

Since he has thrown away his moral integrity, he will naturally not be polite to this top-notch vase.

"I just asked what you are doing." Guan Zhilin said.

Hideki Hanyu reached out and picked up a document on the table. It was brought by his assistant when he came to deliver clothes after he woke up in the apartment.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

"Yes." Guan Zhilin replied.

"It's all in Chinese, you can read it yourself. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes." After saying this, Hanyu Hideki picked up Miss Guan and put her on the table, then walked towards the bathroom.

For Hideki Hanyu, this was not a secret at all, so it didn't matter if he showed it to Miss Guan.

After washing up, Hideki Hanyu, who had already changed into formal clothes, walked towards Miss Guan while buttoning his clothes.

At this time, Miss Guan had put on the lace suspender pajamas again and was still looking at Hanyu Hideki's documents in her hands.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki coming over, Guan Meiren asked curiously, "The Adventures of Cheng Long, is this the script you made for Cheng Long?"

"To be precise, it is a story design outline. Yunshang Entertainment and Jingling Entertainment will develop corresponding comics, animations, and video games based on this story design outline."

Hideki Hanyu explains this.

That's right, although Cheng Long's "Dragon's Son International" has just been established, the preparations for the cooperation between Yunshang Entertainment and Jingling Entertainment have already started in advance.

Taking cultural differences into consideration, and the fact that Hideki Hanyu didn't want the story to have the petty-mindedness that is unique to Japan, this story design outline was actually commissioned by Yunshang Entertainment to literary workers in Hong Kong.

Now that "Tatsunoko International" has been established, the story design outline has been finalized, and the subordinates immediately sent the story design outline to Hideki Hanyu for review.

Hideki Hanyu took a quick look and found that although the story design was very good, it lacked foresight in many places and was not international enough.

He originally wanted to make some changes, but Guan Zhilin's small apartment had nothing, so he decided to move to another place to handle the matter.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Guan Zhilin, "I'm leaving. Today is Monday. Don't you need to go to work?"

"Darling, you are so cruel. I stayed up all night to serve you last night, and I woke up in the morning to do it again. Now that I have enjoyed myself, you want me to work for you again. You don't even feel sorry for me."

Seeing Guan Zhilin coming closer while he was talking, Hanyu Hideki frowned and said, "If you don't want to, I can give your job to someone else."

"I'll go. When I get off work, Darling, can you accompany me shopping?" Guan Zhilin said coquettishly when she saw Hanyu Hideki's reaction.

But Hanyu Hideki said firmly, "No, I have other plans today."

"What are Darling's plans?" Guan Zhilin asked curiously.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Hanyu Hideki said unhappily.

But how could Miss Guan be frightened by Hanyu Hideki's reaction? She continued to move closer and said, "Because I want to see if there is anyone who can be with Darling."

Hanyu Hideki raised the documents in his hand and said, "I need to change the story outline in another place, and I have to go to Vigorous in Central to handle business in the evening. How can you help me with these?"

“Of course I won’t change the story, but I might be able to help with Vigorous. Does Darling want to cooperate with Vigorous?
Asia Cinemas actually did joint promotions with Vigorous, and I also met Vigorous' manager Ye Fangyi at social events, and we were quite familiar with each other.

If Darling goes to Vigorous to discuss cooperation, take me with you, I will definitely be able to help you."

Looking at Miss Guan's confident look, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that you don't know the relationship between me and Vigorous. I am Ye Fangyi's boss, and Vigorous is the company I founded."

When Guan Zhilin heard what Hanyu Hideki said, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

She never expected that Vigorous, a well-known high-end convenience store in Hong Kong, would actually be owned by Hideki Hanyu.

You should know that not long ago, the British princess came to Hong Kong to participate in an event and went to Vigorous for shopping and sightseeing, which was widely reported by the media.

Because of this incident, many Hong Kong people even regard their membership in Vigorous as something to show off.

“Didn’t the media say that Vigorous is a British brand?”

Hearing Guan Zhilin's question, Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, "Both Vigorous and Vigorous' holding company are registered in the UK, so it's okay to say it's a British brand."

After that, he looked at his watch and said, "Okay, if you are really interested, come with me to see Ye Fangyi after get off work, but now you should hurry to work."

Finally, he reminded me, "Remember, what I'm giving you is very important. Don't let me down, or I won't give you a second chance."

Guan Zhilin quickly assured, "I know, I will never let Darling down with such a small matter."

"Then I'll leave first."

Hideki Hanyu put on his coat, picked up the documents, and was finally allowed to leave after being kissed by Miss Guan before leaving.

I have to say that in terms of temptation to men, this woman is definitely a beauty who brings disaster.

Compared with the past, the other party is better at grasping the psychology of men. While satisfying all the emotional value needs of men, they can also maintain a good balance between taking and giving.

It seems that what Hideki Hanyu said before, "You have grown up," was not wrong.

……

After leaving Guan Zhilin's apartment, Hanyu Hideki did not return to Baijianshi Road where Zhou Huimin was, but went to No. 31 Baijia Road.

Zhou Huimin's house is home to Zhou Huimin, her mother, a team of chefs, and several servants. Hanyu Hideki always feels that it is a bit crowded and noisy, and not very suitable for doing writing work.

In the elegantly decorated study room on the second floor of No. 31 Baijiadao, Hideki Hanyu was working at his desk to revise the story design outline of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".

As I was concentrating on my work, time passed by and it was already afternoon.

Although the modification has not been completed yet, it seems that it is almost time to set off.

The last time he came to Hong Kong, he asked Ye Fangyi to submit Vigorous convenience store's expansion plan in Asia, and now it is time for Ye Fangyi to hand in her homework.

This is also one of the things that Hideki Hanyu is going to deal with when he comes to Hong Kong this time. After all, you can avoid the limelight in Hong Kong, but you can't forget to deal with the real business.

Of course, if he just wanted to look at the plan, Ye Fangyi could come to see him in person, but he wanted to see how Vigorous had developed in Hong Kong in recent months, so he decided to go to the Vigorous store in Central.

But he just stood up, stretched, and prepared to set off.

Then a familiar greeting voice came from downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of high heels tapping on the ground from bottom to top, from far to near, the study door was knocked and Guan Zhilin's familiar voice rang out.

"Darling, I'm here to see you."

Hanyu Hideki walked forward and opened the study door, looking at Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a women's suit on the upper body and a one-piece skirt on the lower body, dressed like an urban female white-collar worker, and asked.

"How did you find this place?"

"Of course I asked Darling's assistant. It's been so long and your assistant's phone number in Hong Kong hasn't changed."

When Rosamund Kwan answered, she had already walked into the study. After curiously touring the study, she finally came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the Victoria Harbour to the north.

The woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! The view from this house is amazing, even more beautiful than the one in Repulse Bay! It really deserves to be a luxury house on the top of the hill on Baijiadao."

Hanyu Hideki followed and said, "I was just about to go to Hopewell Center to pick you up and go to Vigorous together. Why did you come all the way here?"

"I wanted to come here to meet Darling." Miss Guan turned around and hooked her arms around the scumbag's neck, acting coquettishly with her beautiful face.

But Hanyu Hideki remained unmoved and continued to ask, "Have you finished your work with the Asian cinema chain? The headquarters should have received your appointment soon. Have you gone to the overseas distribution department to familiarize yourself with it in advance?"

"Don't worry, Darling, I'll do the work. Manager Fang Peter has taken me to the overseas distribution department to announce the personnel appointments. The expressions of those people are very interesting. I have arranged a lot of things for them, such as... I believe that there will be results soon."

When Guan Zhilin said these words, his smile was as cunning as a fox.

Seeing that Guan Zhilin had not forgotten the important matter, Hanyu Hideki no longer cared about the other party's behavior of finding this place, and just separated Guan's hand and spoke.

"In that case, let's go, it's getting late."

"Ok."

Guan Zhilin agreed sensibly, and then followed Hanyu Hideki who was walking out of the study.

However, when the woman left the room, she glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her with a very passionate gaze. It was not known whether it was because of the view of Victoria Harbour outside the window, or the super luxury house that could see the view of Victoria Harbour.

However, immediately afterwards, when Hideki Hanyu drove out the dark red Ferrari F40 from the garage.

Miss Guan realized that during the time she had been trying hard to perform, she seemed to have missed too much.

The dark red Ferrari started from the mountain road of Baijiadao and drove all the way to the most prosperous area of ​​Hong Kong. Wherever it passed, passers-by cast their eyes on it.

For Miss Guan, this kind of treatment that is the center of attention is a long-lost feeling.

Looking at Hanyu Hideki who was concentrating on driving, Guan Meiren wanted to say something, but she understood that now was not the right time.

Soon, the eye-catching Ferrari stopped at the door of Vigorous convenience store.

The car door opened and Hideki Hanyu got out of the supercar under the watch of passers-by.

Guan Zhilin got off the car later, not caring about the eyes of people around him, and reached out to hold Hanyu Hideki's arm.

Perhaps for Miss Guan, what she enjoys is the feeling of being noticed.

The two walked into the Vigorous store together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ye Fangyi who had received the message and was waiting to greet them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanyu, and Ms. Guan..."

Ye Fangyi, who was greeting, also saw Guan Zhilin holding Hanyu Hideki's arm. Just as Guan Zhilin said, Ye Fangyi knew Guan Zhilin.

But even so, judging from Ye Fangyi's words and eyes, she was obviously a little surprised that Guan Zhilin appeared next to Hanyu Hideki.

However, as a top expert in public relations, Guan Zhilin greeted with a friendly smile, "Manager Ye, we meet again. The last time should be at the red wine party of a cooperative event."

"Yes, Miss Guan."

After all, Ye Fangyi is someone who has seen the world. After the initial surprise, thinking of her boss's playboy personality, she suddenly felt that Guan Zhilin's appearance at this time was nothing big.

Therefore, after exchanging pleasantries with Guan Zhilin, Ye Fangyi adjusted her state and asked Hanyu Hideki, "Sir, shall we go to the office to talk next?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Now that we are here, let's take a look at what changes Vigorous has made." After saying this, Hideki Hanyu took the lead and walked into the store.

Seeing this, Ye Fangyi had no choice but to follow with her people and respectfully introduced to Hanyu Hideki the development of Vigorous in Hong Kong over the past few months.

Just looking inside the Vigorous store, the changes are not that obvious. At most, there are some changes to the merchandise, advertising posters, or furnishings.

But according to Ye Fangyi, Vigorous' operations in Hong Kong have now entered a stable period.

First of all, the number of members, which was over 16,000 when I last came.

But now, nearly four months have passed, and the number of members has only grown to just over 20,000.

This slow growth rate is a far cry from the frenzy when the store opened.

Even this growth is possible thanks to the publicity effect of the princess' visit to the store not long ago.

However, Hideki Hanyu was already mentally prepared for this.

After all, the total population of Hong Kong is only over five million. Twenty thousand members means that one out of every 250 Hong Kong people has applied for a Vigorous membership.

This ratio is already very good, and it can even be said to have reached the limit.

After all, simply talking about population is meaningless.

You also have to consider family users. A family will only apply for one card. So when you calculate it this way, the demand is actually very low.

The most important thing is that Vigorous is positioned as a high-end convenience store in Hong Kong. Although the quality of its products is guaranteed, the prices are relatively high.

In this situation, not every Hong Kong resident is willing to come and consume.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu is actually very satisfied with the current membership scale.

Of course, he would not express this satisfaction publicly, which would only encourage Xiangjiang Vigorous to continue working hard to win more member customers.

After learning about Vigorous's recent situation, Hanyu Hideki followed Ye Fangyi to Vigorous' office area.

In the general manager's office, seeing that Hanyu Hideki and Ye Fangyi were about to discuss something, Guan Zhilin said tactfully, "Darling, you talk to Manager Ye. I'll wait for you outside."

Hanyu Hideki said indifferently, "It's okay, if you don't mind being bored, you can stay with us."

Such an attitude of Hideki Hanyu naturally made Guan Zhilin happy from the bottom of her heart, making her feel valued and treated as one of her own.

Of course, she also enjoyed the feeling of being able to share Hanyu Hideki's "secrets".

But in Hideki Hanyu's opinion, perhaps this is not a secret at all.

As for Ye Fangyi, this top student at Imperial College Business School who has already entered working mode, she would not care about Guan Zhilin's existence.

Ye Fangyi took out a thick document, put it on the table in front of Hanyu Hideki, and then began to introduce it.

"Sir, in the past few months, I have personally visited Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian markets to conduct research. These are the market situation reports I compiled based on the research."

Looking at the thick report, Hanyu Hideki couldn't finish reading it in a short time, so he just said, "I will read the report, tell me your ideas and plans first."

"Okay, sir."

Ye Fangyi agreed and began to talk about her ideas and plans.

“In my opinion, if Vigorous wants to enter these markets, while adhering to our business philosophy and branding, we must also make different localized improvements based on different markets.

For example, in terms of goods, we can select suppliers based on the eating and shopping habits of local customers, such as..."

Once Ye Fangyi started talking about this, she became completely immersed in it. She told Hanyu Hideki all her ideas and plans, not even leaving out any details.

Hideki Hanyu was looking through the information in front of him while listening carefully to Ye Fangyi's narration and thinking about the pros and cons of Ye Fangyi's plan.

As for Guan Zhilin, who was sitting next to him, he regretted not agreeing to go out and wait.

After all, for Miss Guan, although she did a good job as a public relations manager, at that time she was good at and also liked to do some work dealing with the media and handling interpersonal relationships.

But when it comes to specific operations and handling of business matters, she is totally not interested and feels like dozing off when she hears about it.

But it happened that Hideki Hanyu was right next to her, and she had finally managed to get back to Hanyu Hideki. In her opinion, they were in the process of repairing their relationship, and she didn't want Hanyu Hideki to be disliked because of her poor performance.

Therefore, I had to force myself to stay awake and try my best to concentrate, so as not to fall asleep accidentally.

Ye Fangyi's story lasted for two and a half hours.

At this time, Vigorous' afternoon classes were all over.

The color of the sky in Central, Hong Kong outside the stadium began to gradually darken.

Hideki Hanyu also quickly looked through the investigation materials in front of him.

After Ye Fangyi finally stopped, he closed the document, tapped the cover lightly, organized his words in his mind, and then spoke to Ye Fangyi.

"Manager Ye, you have done a very detailed and thoughtful investigation on Vigorous' expansion in Southeast Asia. I really appreciate your attitude."

"This is what I should do." Ye Fangyi said modestly.

"but……"

It was obvious that Hideki Hanyu wanted to say something other than praise.

“But after listening to your plan, I feel like you’ve overestimated the success of Vigorous in Southeast Asia.

Neither our business philosophy nor your localization considerations can guarantee Vigorous 100% victory.

As the Chinese classic Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Plan for defeat before planning for victory." In all your plans, you are thinking about how to fight a beautiful battle that will not fail, but you have never considered what to do if you fail or if your plan does not meet your expectations?
Don’t let the success of Vigorous create an illusion, and don’t be afraid to speak out about problems and failures. The best way to solve problems and failures is to face them head-on.

Risk awareness and crisis management are perhaps more important than how to succeed.”

Hanyu Hideki said this and pushed the information forward.

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, my attitude is still the same as at the beginning. I am satisfied with your performance, but I hope you can do better.

Once Vigorous starts to expand in Southeast Asia, I will introduce a senior partner system in Vigorous. At that time, you will not only work for me, but also work for your own career. "

Hideki Hanyu pointed out the problem, gave compliments, and finally threw out a sweet date covered in honey.

This series of operations instantly stimulated Ye Fangyi's motivation, making her eyes sparkle with excitement.

Then she said respectfully, "Sir, I'll write down everything you said. I will immediately change the development plan and take your concerns into consideration."

"Very good." Hanyu Hideki nodded, and then reminded, "But just adding questions is not enough. In addition to the Southeast Asian market, such as South Korea, Japan, and even the mainland, if possible, you'd better consider them all."

Ye Fangyi hurriedly said, "Okay sir, I'll take note of it."

"After you have revised your plan, whether I am in Hong Kong or not, just contact my assistant directly.

Well, that's all for today, I'll take my leave now."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Guan Zhilin, who was trying hard to cheer up, away.

Next, after having dinner with Miss Guan, Hideki Hanyu sent her back to the apartment.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki sent her to the apartment but had no intention of getting out of the car, Guan Zhilin suddenly felt a sense of crisis, fearing that Hanyu Hideki had lost interest in her after just one night.

So she immediately acted like a spoiled child and threw herself at the scumbag, put her mouth close to his ear, and made a lot of promises in bed.

Then the scumbag couldn't resist the temptation and was seduced by the beautiful Guan into her apartment.

It's midnight today.

The scumbag leaned on the bed in Lady Guan's small bedroom, looked at Lady Guan who had served him, and climbed up little by little to ask.

"Darling, are you satisfied just now?"

The scumbag’s answer is, of course, “Not bad, I like it.”

After saying that, the scumbag was about to get up and take a shower, but when he thought of the small bathroom in Guan Zhilin's apartment, he couldn't help but complain.

"The bathroom in your apartment is too small. It's not even convenient to take a shower."

When Miss Guan heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She leaned close to Hanyu Hideki's ear and said in a charming voice, "I also think the bathroom is too small. There is no way for me to help Darling in the bathroom..."

The fierce words that followed immediately made the scumbag a little excited.

Guan Zhilin saw that the effect was good, and then he said pitifully, "Darling, do you think I should move to another place so that I can serve you well."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he immediately understood what Guan Meiren was planning.

He actually doesn't object to this.

So he said directly, "I have already let Zhang Qi stay at No. 89. It is impossible for you to go back."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki did not refuse, Guan Zhilin knew that her chance had come, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "I see that the house where Darling stays during the day is very good and no one lives there. Is it possible..."

The house that Guan Zhilin mentioned was naturally No. 31 Baijia Road.

After all, she still has not forgotten the shocking feeling of overlooking the Victoria Harbour during the day.

But before she could finish her words, Hanyu Hideki refused without hesitation.

"No, I have already transferred the house to my eldest daughter. I will not give it to anyone else. You don't have to think about it."

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's firm refusal, Guan Zhilin immediately realized that Hanyu Hideki obviously valued his eldest daughter more than her.

While feeling a little jealous in her heart, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but have an idea: should she also try hard with Hanyu Hideki to give birth to a descendant that Hanyu Hideki would value?

But that's all later. What we need to solve right now is the house.

Therefore, Miss Guan deliberately leaned forward and asked coquettishly, "Then where does Darling say I should live? It's inconvenient for you to always come to my place, isn't it?"

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and realized that he did have some properties in Hong Kong, but either they were not suitable for Miss Guan or they had not been completely rebuilt.

For example, No. 81 on Baijianshi Road, or No. 35 on Baijia Road.

So in the end, he simply said to Guan Meiren, "I don't have any suitable houses at the moment, you can just go and look for yourself, and tell me if you find a suitable one."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Guan Zhilin immediately knew that her efforts had paid off and her previous affluent life was coming back.

So when Hanyu Hideki finished speaking and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower, the woman followed him excitedly.

She felt that she needed to make Hanyu Hideki happier and like her more.
