Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 719: So pretty, so elegant
As soon as he got up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hideki Hanyu received good news.

The news comes from Hong Kong.

After being bailed out by his people and seeking help from everywhere in vain, Huang Yulang finally chose to compromise and sold his shares in Yulang International to Hope Angel Investment.

So far, through Elf Publishing and Hope Angel Investment, Hideki Hanyu owns more than 75% of Yulang International's shares, and has complete control over this Hong Kong comics and media group.

"President, are we really going to let Huang Yulang go?" asked the subordinate on the other end of the phone.

Hanyu Hideki said cheerfully, "Of course, we are serious businessmen who keep our word."

"I will withdraw the report, but even so, Huang Yulang will still go to jail." said the subordinate.

"That's not something we can solve. We've tried our best, haven't we?"

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, then changed the subject and said, "Now we can start the next stage of the plan."

As for what he said is his plan for the next stage?
Of course, it was to win over the group of outstanding cartoonists who chose to leave after Huang Yulang was imprisoned in the original history.

For example, Ma Rongcheng, the cartoonist who created "Chinese Hero" and "Feng Yun".

Before, Huang Yulang’s treatment of these contracted cartoonists was not very good, and could even be described as exploitative and harsh.

This is also the reason why, in another time and space, Huang Yulang was imprisoned and a large number of cartoonists contracted by Yulang International left.

But now that the boss has changed to Hideki Hanyu, things are completely different.

In Hideki Hanyu's view, the revenue brought by comics themselves is not important. What is important is the enhancement of the company's influence through a large number of popular comics and the advantages brought by enriching the copyright library.

Therefore, he was very generous when it came to sharing the profits with cartoonists at Elf Publishing House. Even after many comics he created were handed over to the studio for further creation, he would give all the revenue to the creators.

What's more, Yulang International is a listed company.

As long as the company's performance is good enough and its influence is big enough, the little money earned from comics can be easily earned back in the stock market.

So after he took over Yulang International, he immediately changed the treatment of cartoonists.

Increasing profits and basic salary and encouraging creativity are basic operations.

It is certain that the income of ordinary cartoonists will improve.

For those comics with strength and achievements, not only are the dividends increased, but they are even directly given shares to win them over.

If these people want to leave, Hideki Hanyu will not be the bad guy.

On the contrary, he would take the initiative to let Preview International invest in these people and provide them with channels and resources to start their comics companies.

In a word, we will try our best to tie these people to the chariot of Yulang International.

In the following period, facts proved that his approach was correct.

Faced with the attempt to win over Yulang International after the change of ownership, some cartoonists who were not fond of making trouble naturally chose to stay instead of being forced into a desperate situation like in their previous life.

Cartoonists who are ambitious and want to start their own business have chosen to cooperate with Yulang International in the face of the goodwill investment from the new owner of Yulang International, as well as the mature channels and resources.

The companies founded by these people have all become satellite enterprises of Yulang International.

After solving internal problems, it is time to reap the rewards.

The board of directors of Yulang International announced that in order to resolve the recent crisis, it will issue additional shares to raise funds.

The largest subscriber of this additional stock issuance is Cloud Entertainment, the entertainment media group that is now the dominant force in Asia.

As soon as this news came out, the stock price, which had been falling due to Huang Yulang's financial fraud scandal, quickly began to rise.

After all, compared to news, market performance is relatively more real.

Investors are well aware of what Yulang International’s joining the cloud entertainment system represents.

With the support of huge media resources, Yulang International is destined to take off.

In this situation, by the time Hideki Hanyu received the report from his subordinates in Hong Kong, the share price of Yulang International had already risen to HK$40.

Before that, when Hideki Hanyu took over, the stock price was already close to single digits.

With this battle alone, Hideki Hanyu not only took over Yulang International, but also earned nearly 200 million US dollars.

Hearing the news, Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly.

Being rich and powerful, and also having foresight, making money is really not difficult for him.

Moreover, the $200 million is just a book figure. He can only pocket the money if he sells Yulang International.

However, for a capitalist like him, even if he doesn't sell the stocks, he can still get the 200 million US dollars, or even more, with the help of Yulang International.

The simplest and most brutal way is to pledge stocks. Most of the famous wealthy people in later generations did this.

However, the detailed operations in staking vary from person to person.

Although Hideki Hanyu is not short of money, he will not complain about having too much liquid capital. After all, both the Neon and other Asian stock markets can still make some money. His choice is of course to make money with money.

But now it is impossible for him to do these things personally.

Because at this time, he had already met up with the investment team and started his investment inspection trip in China.

So far, a week has passed and the number of team members around him has decreased significantly.

Because in Jiangcheng, Northeast Energy has confirmed a series of new investments, and people from Northeast Energy have stayed there to handle follow-up matters.

The second stop after leaving Jiangcheng is Chuncheng in the Northeast.

Here, Hideki Hanyu had his initial contact with FAW.

In the short term, if foreign-funded automakers want to enter the domestic market, cooperating with domestic automakers is the only option.

In the past, FAW’s cooperation with Volkswagen and Toyota has proved that this domestic automobile company has excellent product quality and technical strength.

So for Hideki Hanyu, if Lamborghini Automobile Group wants to enter the domestic market, the first choice is to cooperate with FAW.

It is impossible to confirm cooperation like Northeast Energy in just two days of visits and negotiations.

After all, Northeast Energy is not a new customer in Jiangcheng, but a foreign-funded enterprise with mature cooperation experience.

Lamborghini wants to cooperate with FAW. Even if its boss Hideki Hanyu is inclined to do so, it will still take a lot of time to negotiate the details.

It is naturally impossible for Hideki Hanyu to stay in Spring City forever.

So he left all the Lamborghini members in the investment team in Chuncheng, and took the others to other places.

For example, now, he is in Guangdong Province.

When he answered Xiangjiang's call, Yasui Yosuke was standing next to him.

Since sending the other party to the mainland to develop the instant noodle market, they have been in frequent contact by phone and often learn about Yasui Yosuke's news from their subordinates.

But it has been a long time since we met face to face.

At this point, it seems that the general manager of Master Kong is very different from before.

His originally slightly fair skin was gone, now dark and rough due to his years of hard work. He looked mature and capable, completely different from the previous senior executives of entertainment companies.

As if noticing Hanyu Hideki's gaze, Yasui Yosuke smiled and explained.

"In order to develop multi-level market channels, I need to travel around China to establish contacts, so I inevitably get a little tanned."

At this time, Yasui Yosuke was not speaking Neon language, but standard Chinese Mandarin.

Originally, Yasui Yosuke spoke Chinese very well, and now after working in the mainland for so long, he no longer has any Japanese accent when speaking.

Even the demeanor and facial expressions when speaking, as well as habitual movements, make it hard to tell that he is a Japanese.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but glance at the girl next to Yasui Yosuke.

A girl in her twenties wearing glasses. Although she has an ordinary appearance, she has an elegant and quiet temperament, and also has a sense of independence and self-reliance. It is obvious that she is not the kind of girl who will rely on men.

Yasui Yosuke just introduced it to him.

Fang Yuqi, a native of Zhejiang Province, is a teacher by profession. She is now considered Yasui Yosuke's girlfriend, or to be more precise, his fiancée, as he has already met her parents and they have agreed to get engaged.

The two's acquaintance is also very interesting.

Yasui Yosuke went to Zhejiang Province to do publicity and donated money and supplies to the school. Then the school sent Fang Yuqi to receive him. After a few days, the two of them fell in love with each other.

Although Yasui Yosuke earns a lot of money, Fang Yuqi has no intention of giving up her job and becoming Yasui Yosuke's canary.

I've been accompanying Yasui Yosuke these days because the school is on winter vacation.

Hanyu Hideki glanced at the two of them and joked to Yasui Yosuke.

"It seems that you are planning to settle down in China."

Yasui Yosuke touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I don't know when I got used to everything here, including the people."

After this guy finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yuqi beside him with tenderness in his eyes.

In an instant, Hideki Hanyu was fed a mouthful of dog food.

Then he said angrily, "Master Kong is doing better and better now. It will be impossible for you to leave in the future."

After saying that, he patted Yasui Yosuke's shoulder with emotion and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Building a multi-level sales channel bit by bit is not an easy task.

But Yasui Yosuke was not afraid of the hard work and accomplished it.

Last year alone, Yosuke Yasui's Master Kong achieved sales of 76 million.

This is enough to prove that even if Master Kong's channels were not fully built, it had done its best.

It can be said that Yasui Yosuke did not let him down.

Therefore, he will also give the other party the due return.

He was the one who took the initiative to ask Yasui Yosuke to meet today, and he naturally prepared a gift.

I waved my hand and the assistant brought me a document.

Hanyu Hideki took it and placed it in front of Yasui Yosuke.

"I don't think I can attend your engagement, so consider this as my engagement gift to you."

Yosuke Yasui took the document and looked at it, and found that it was a stock incentive plan.

The general idea is to provide equity incentives to senior management of the company and important channel parties during their development.

Rewards are paid out in proportion to the company's performance, with the goal of tying everyone to a common interest.

Among them, Yosuke Yasui, as the highest person in charge, has the highest incentive ratio. If he completes the goals according to this contract, Yosuke Yasui will have no problem getting a seat on the board of directors in the future.

As for why Hideki Hanyu came up with this cake-dividing strategy, it was because he simply did not have time to pay attention to the development of Master Kong in China.

This type of retail business is different from his other investments in that the domestic heads, channel partners, and even senior management have greater power and require more flexibility.

Sometimes a simple decision can determine the fate of a company.

Even if they have the first-mover advantage now, there is no guarantee that the company will continue to develop smoothly.

If he could give up all his overseas businesses and concentrate on the development of Master Kong in China, there would certainly be no problem.

But the problem is that there is no way he would give up his overseas career for the sake of Master Kong.

Therefore, he could only give Master Kong's domestic management greater power and more benefits.

As for himself, although he still decides the development direction of Master Kong at critical moments, after the company gradually develops, he will slowly retreat to the role of investor.

As for the future, when the company goes public, he may cash out and leave, or he may hold on to shares and receive dividends to continue to maintain his influence.

In short, based on his current investment, there is no way that Master Kong will lose money on this business.

Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the development of Master Kong in his mind.

And Yosuke Yasui has patiently read the entire incentive plan.

He didn't offer any comments, just asked, "When will it be announced?"

Although Yasui Yosuke tried hard to remain calm, Hanyu Hideki could still see a hint of excitement and excitement in the opponent's eyes.

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Any time."

"I will call a meeting with everyone as soon as possible to officially announce this plan."

Although Yasui Yosuke wanted to appear calm, his hand tightly grasping the document proved that he was not as calm as he seemed.

"You are the general manager of Master Kong, and your decision is yours to make."

Hanyu Hideki first expressed his trust, but then followed it up with a warning.

“Although I don’t mind sharing the benefits with everyone, I also don’t like others to cheat. I will arrange for a third party to evaluate the incentive list. If I find that someone is cheating, don’t blame me for being rude.

Because what I can share, I can also take back with my own hands. "

"Of course I understand this. I will never let you down, President." Yasui Yosuke quickly assured.

Yosuke Yasui is not stupid either. Although he is the general manager, he also knows that there are too many people like Hideki Hanyu in Master Kong, and he cannot have the final say.

Although Hideki Hanyu does not care about power and can give it to him, Hideki Hanyu definitely cares about betrayal.

Yasui Yosuke understood that if Hanyu Hideki could say it, he could do it.

He now has a loved one, a career he wants to pursue, and a wonderful life right in front of him. He has no other ambitions in his heart, so it is naturally impossible for him to sacrifice his future for someone else.

"Okay, let's stop talking about work. Let's eat. The person who introduced me here said that the ox head here is particularly good."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he raised his hand to call the waiter to take the order.

After that, they didn't talk about work anymore, but kept chatting until they had eaten and drunk their fill.

After paying the bill, Hideki Hanyu left first.

At the table with only two people left, Yasui Yosuke curiously asked his fiancée Fang Yuqi, "Why didn't you say anything the whole time? You were so quiet. Although President Hanyu is a big shot, he is still very approachable."

"I can see it."

Fang Yuqi nodded and then lowered her voice.

"It's just that he is so handsome and has such a great temperament. For an ordinary person like me, facing it, the pressure is really huge. I don't know what to say at all."

Upon hearing this, Yasui Yosuke said with a smile.

"The president is indeed very handsome, otherwise why would so many women like him? But he used to be an idol artist in Japan, so it's normal for him to be good-looking."

"He was also an entertainer. Tell me about him."

Fang Yuqi, who had been silent throughout the dinner, suddenly became excited.

After all, no matter what kind of woman she is, she can't escape the gossip heart.

"I didn't know much. At that time..."

Yosuke Yasui tells the story.
