Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 717: The picture shows the dagger
Hideki Hanyu had no idea that Michael Bay, who would later be hailed as the "explosion maniac" by movie fans, would actually be in the crew invested by Yunshang Pictures.

After all, although he attaches great importance to the "Need for Speed" project, it is impossible for him to pay attention to every detail.

He didn't even have time to get involved with the male and female protagonists, let alone being an assistant director.

You should know that in Hollywood's big-budget commercial films, it is normal to have multiple assistant directors responsible for different tasks.

If Hanyu Hideki has to worry about such trivial matters, then he should not do anything else in the future.

In fact, if he hadn't come to visit the set today, even if the movie was completed, he wouldn't have known that Michael Bay had worked on this crew.

However, although Hideki Hanyu did not want to disturb the crew, when he arrived at the scene as an investor, it was impossible for the producer not to introduce him to others.

While a scene was finishing and the props team was setting up the set, the producer immediately introduced Hideki Hanyu to the main creative staff on site.

Leading actor and actress, assistant director, photographer...

All the important creative staff at the scene came up to greet Hanyu Hideki.

When meeting Michael Bay, Hideki Hanyu only had a brief chat with him. He did not take advantage of the other party's obscurity to recruit him and sign him for several film contracts.

Because in Hollywood, it doesn't make sense to do that.

Hollywood is not the neon entertainment industry, nor is it the Hollywood of decades ago.

Unless it is a confirmed series of movies, if you want to cooperate, just send an invitation directly.

Signing a low-price contract with someone while they are still unknown, and then hoping to exploit them once they become famous, will only end in a bad way.

So when facing the main creative staff, whether it is Michael Bay, Jean-Claude Van Damme, or Linda Evangelista who will grow into a "BIG 5" supermodel.

Hideki Hanyu's attitude was very indifferent, and he even deliberately kept his distance.

And his behavior seems normal to everyone.

After all, it would be strange if a super-rich man, a powerful figure in the Hollywood industry chain, could be too polite to a few ordinary actors and unknown behind-the-scenes staff.

The shooting schedule was tight, and everyone quickly got back to work after meeting each other.

Afterwards, Ito Shinsuke said he wanted to take a closer look, and Hanyu Hideki stayed on seeing that the crew would soon finish work.

Because Ito Shinsuke knew that he was going back to Asia tomorrow, he offered to treat him to a farewell dinner. Naturally, Hanyu Hideki would not refuse his friend's kindness.

Although Ito Shinsuke was watching with great interest, Hanyu Hideki became bored after watching for a while, so he simply ran to the actors' rest area and found a chair to sit on.

He asked his assistant for some information and flipped through it casually.

This is the preparation material for his investment inspection trip to China.

Although the categories inspected this time are not as many as last time, the investment amount is actually higher because it involves projects such as chemicals, automobiles, and real estate.

After a summary, several companies gave an investment budget of approximately US$400 million.

In fact, according to the advice given by his investment consultants, there was no need to prepare so much money.

Because you are investing in the mainland, except for some necessary equipment and materials, which need to be purchased in US dollars, the rest can be solved by taking out loans in the mainland.

But Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about these people's suggestions.

He invested in the country at this time, not only to make money by riding on the domestic development, but also because of the influence of the soul of a time traveler, he wanted to give some support to the impoverished and hard-working country to the best of his ability.

Four hundred million dollars is nothing to him now.

But for the country whose foreign exchange reserves have just exceeded 4 billion US dollars, this is a huge sum of money, which can be regarded as a blessing from heaven.

Anyway, the international situation is very good now, and big capital forces are all investing in the mainland, so no one will say anything if he joins in the investment.

This is because the identity restrictions are too great.

Otherwise, if he traveled through time and space as an overseas Chinese or something, the four hundred million dollars would not be able to stop his enthusiasm.

Of course, this timely assistance, in addition to satisfying his personal emotions, will definitely continue to improve his favorability in the mainland and will also be helpful to his investment in the mainland.

And just as he was looking at the information and thinking about this investment.

I felt someone suddenly sit down on the chair next to me.

He went to see who it was in a bad mood, but the person greeted him first.

"Is the sir working?"

Just by listening to the voice, you can tell without even looking that it’s “Sister Ten Thousand” Linda Evangelista.

(Yi Wan Jie · Picture · No addition, no review)
Hanyu Hideki raised his head and looked at the other person calmly.

The meaning is obvious. Are we very familiar with each other?
It's none of your business whether I work or not.

The woman in front of him was particularly enthusiastic when she greeted him just now, and now she came close to him during the break. Her behavior was really too deliberate, and her intention was clear without having to guess.

But, this is normal in the modeling industry.

After the status of models was greatly improved in later generations, the chaos in the modeling circle became quite serious. It was impossible for male and female models to become famous without selling their bodies and learning how to rely on financial sponsors.

What's more, it's the late 1980s when the concept of supermodel hasn't even been fully born yet, and the modeling circle will only become more chaotic.

Moreover, Linda Evangelista's vain and greedy character is well known to everyone in later generations.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this kind of personality that the supermodel era of the 1990s was born.

After all, even the concept of "fashion" itself is a definition created by high-end brand companies in order to run their businesses and make money. In the final analysis, "profit" comes first.

To put it simply, a supermodel is a top model who can make the most money and bring wealth to brands.

It has nothing to do with the art that's hyped up in the media, it's all about the money.

If you can bring benefits, you are a supermodel.

If you cannot bring benefits, even if you are as beautiful as a fairy and have unparalleled temperament, you will still not be valued by the brand.

And in the fashion industry, models simply cannot become supermodels on their own.

Whether to promote a supermodel is often decided by the brand itself.

Take Hideki Hanyu's AIYI International, LVMH, Dior and other companies for example. If they want to promote a certain model, they just need to keep choosing that model for the dozens of fashion shows every year in "Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer".

Then, using the relationships with various magazines, get the magazine editors to hype up this model.

In this case, as long as the model's basic qualities are up to standard, it is almost a hundred percent certain that she will become popular.

But if these companies are unwilling or even want to ban a certain model, then this model will never appear in any fashion magazine.

Unless those magazines are willing to offend their own advertising clients for the sake of a model.

In fact, it is true that no magazine would do this.

On the contrary, many models and female stars want to appear in fashion magazines, but the prerequisite is to get the support of big brands, especially in important positions such as the cover.

So the answer to why Linda Evangelista approached Hideki Hanyu is obvious.

After seeing Hanyu Hideki's attitude, the woman immediately pretended to be panicked and said, "I'm very sorry, sir, I disturbed you at work."

But while Linda Evangelista was speaking, Hanyu Hideki had already buried his head in the information again.

Linda Evangelista was immediately stunned.

She had clearly heard before that Hanyu Hideki was a playboy, so why was he so indifferent to her approach today?

Even when faced with her apology, he didn't even look at it.

However, she won't give up.

She had finally made a name for herself in the modeling circle, and the reason she chose to sign with "Elite Model Agency" was to use the company's platform to take a step further.

But for a model, no matter how good the platform of the agency is, it can't compare to the resources that Hideki Hanyu has.

Thinking about the many luxury brands under Ayi International and the benefits they could bring to her, Linda Evangelista couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

When she first signed the contract for the project with Yunshang Pictures, she was looking forward to whether she could get close to Hideki Hanyu through this project.

But who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu never appeared before or after the filming of the movie.

Then, just when she had forgotten about it and thought that Hideki Hanyu would not appear, Hideki Hanyu appeared again.

Linda Evangelista, who was very confident about her figure and appearance, decided not to hesitate and take action directly.

Then, the situation just now happened.

Opportunity is not to be missed, so Linda Evangelista will certainly not give up easily.

She waited patiently, even though it was getting closer to the end of the crew's shift.

Finally, he saw Hanyu Hideki return the documents in his hand to the secretary.

She immediately offered Hanyu Hideki a cup of water as if Hanyu Hideki's ignoring her just now had never happened.

"Sir, you've been busy for so long, have a glass of water."

This time, Hanyu Hideki finally spoke up, "I never drink from strangers outside."

At this moment, the secretary happened to hand over a bottle of bottled water airlifted from Fiji.

Hanyu Hideki took it and took a few sips before looking at Linda Evangelista, who was holding the cup and looking very embarrassed.

"Just say what you want to do, don't do these useless things."

After saying that, Hideki Hanyu glanced at Linda Evangelista.

Although Hideki Hanyu was sitting, when he looked at Linda Evangelista who was standing, his eyes were looking down on him as if he was a superior.

It was obvious that he had seen through Linda Evangelista's thoughts. Seeing this, Linda Evangelista knew that it was useless to try to get close to her, so she immediately put on a flattering and pleading expression and said.

"I hope to get your support, sir, and I will pay any price for it."

After saying that, the girl immediately straightened her body, showing her curves, and demonstrated her only asset to Hanyu Hideki.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he looked him up and down as if he was looking at a piece of merchandise.

……

The next day.

Hideki Hanyu wakes up in Maple Manor.

After washing up, I walked into the cloakroom.

Instead of a suit, he chose a casual outfit that was comfortable to wear.

After all, he would spend the next ten or so hours on the 'Cloud', so naturally he would wear whatever was comfortable for him.

When Hideki Hanyu put on his pajamas, picked out a Patek Philippe watch from the watch box and was about to put it on, another person walked into the cloakroom.

It was Linda Evangelista.

After the crew got off work yesterday, Hideki Hanyu took "Sister Yiwan" away, had dinner with Shinsuke Ito, and went straight back to Red Maple Manor.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened next.

The ending is the "BIG 5" supermodel, he successfully collected stamps +1, and the total progress is 2/5.

Looking at Linda Evangelista in front of him at this time, Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised. He didn't expect this sister to recover so quickly.

In the early morning, he begged for mercy and said he couldn't bear it anymore.

As a result, not long after he got up, the other person got up too.

Although he still looks a little tired, this is the first time that Hideki Hanyu has performed like this among all the women he has experienced.

But when Hideki Hanyu was surprised, Linda Evangelista's eyes fell on Hideki Hanyu's wrist.

The Patek Philippe watch that had just been worn.

Linda Evangelista had read in a magazine that an item at the Carlsberg auction in New York last year was sold for $1.5 million.

For a moment, the excitement brought by wealth made her breathing quicken.

Her dream now is to earn $10,000 per job.

Compared with Hideki Hanyu's wealth, this dream can only be described as insignificant.

This made her unable to help but ask, "Sir, can it only be a transaction?"

As she spoke, she hugged her arms in a weak manner.

Not only did she make her voluptuous bust more prominent, she also lifted up the only shirt she was wearing, which was owned by Hideki Hanyu, to reveal her perfect long legs and figure.

But the scumbag, who was no longer interested in stamp collecting, smiled after hearing what the other person said, "It's not funny to joke in the morning."

After saying that, he turned around, took out a Givenchy dress from the closet next to him, and stuffed it directly into Linda Evangelista's arms.

The skirt the other person was wearing yesterday had been torn by him.

As for the size, the scumbag has measured it himself. With his rich experience, there will definitely be no mistakes.

"Let's change clothes first..."

As he spoke, he took out a classic LV women's bag and a Bulgari women's watch from another cabinet.

The latter is the Italian luxury brand Bulgari, which AIYI International is currently in contact with, with the intention of absorbing the brand into the AIYI International family through mergers and acquisitions.

Therefore, there are more items of this brand in Hideki Hanyu's closet recently.

The price is not expensive for him and it is suitable to be given to others as a gift.

"A gift for you."

Hideki Hanyu handed the two items to Linda Evangelista, ignored the woman's fiery gaze, and continued to put on the last piece of clothing.

After the event, Hideki Hanyu left after saying, "My secretary will take you back."

When Linda Evangelista changed her clothes and walked out of the cloakroom wearing the watch and bag given by Hanyu Hideki, she found that Hanyu Hideki was gone.

In front of her, there was only a young woman wearing glasses.

The woman said directly, "Ms. Linda, my boss asked me to take you back."

"Where is Mr. Hanyu?" Linda Evangelista asked hurriedly, looking around.

"No comment."

Although the woman's tone was cold, she still handed over an envelope after she finished speaking.

"My boss asked me to give this to you."

Linda Evangelista wanted to open it and read it, but the woman reminded her, "Ms. Linda, please wait until later. Please get in the car with me first."

"Ok."

Linda Evangelista had no choice but to take the envelope and get into a black Audi with the woman.

After the vehicle drove out of Red Maple Manor, Linda Evangelista opened the envelope and began to read it.

The first thing that caught my eye was a check.

The above amount would probably take her a year to earn now.

In addition to the check, there was also a business card belonging to a management member of the New York branch of Ayi International.

Thinking about the New York Fashion Week that will begin next week, Linda Evangelista realized that this was her biggest gain from yesterday's transaction, compared to the checks.

However, looking at the photos and checks in front of me, touching my clothes, bag and watch, and the unprecedented satisfaction I felt last night, an inexplicable desire emerged in my heart.

It is a desire to maintain a long-term relationship instead of just a transaction.

With this thought in mind, Linda Evangelista immediately asked the woman sitting in the passenger seat.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please help me contact Mr. Hanyu?"

But the woman's answer was blunt.

"No."

……

The first day of February, nineteen eighty-nine.

The 'Clouds' landed at the Hong Kong International Airport.

Hideki Hanyu walked out of the cabin and looked at Xiangjiang Island from a distance. He thought that time was tight, but what he needed to do could not be delayed.

February 6th is the Chinese New Year, but he did not forget that Liu Xiaoli and her daughter were waiting for him in Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year.

So some things must be resolved urgently.

When we left the airport, we were greeted by Chiba Kaoru who had arrived earlier.

The first thing Qianye Xun said when he came up was.

"Teacher Hanyu, the people in Hanyu Investment are ready. When will we start the action?"

Hideki Hanyu looked at the time and arrived at Xiangjiang just in time.

It’s Monday, and the Stock Exchange is already open.

Then he gave the order.

"It's now."

……

That afternoon, TVB, ATV and other television stations and radio stations all temporarily inserted a news report.

A shareholder of Yulang International, Hong Kong's largest comic media company, reported to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and relevant agencies that Yulang International's chairman, Huang Yulang, had falsified financial reports and accounts.

Huang Yulang's fraudulent and falsifying behavior caused investors to misjudge the stock price, and they were deceived and misled in their investment, paying unrealistic prices.

In addition to reporting the accident, the new investor also formally filed a lawsuit against Huang Yulang.

Because the evidence was sufficient and detailed, Huang Yulang was taken into custody by the police immediately after reporting the case.

Watching the scene on TV, Huang Yulang was put into the police car.

Public opinion in Hong Kong was immediately ignited.

The share price of Yulang International also fell after the news was released.

On a floor of Hopewell Centre on Queen's Road, Hideki Hanyu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the news on TV.

I know that now is the time to reveal the real purpose.

He turned around with a smile and spoke to several subordinates from Hanyu Investment.

"Any idea what to do?"

"Please rest assured, President."
