Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 771 A new battle is about to begin
Yutaro Hatoyama naturally didn't know that when he firmly chose Hideki Hanyu and "betrayed" his old allies, his old allies also "betrayed" them without hesitation.

Of course, it’s a bit inaccurate to say “betray”.

In fact, when Hanyu Hideki received the invitation from Hatoyama Yutaro, Mr. Fukuda took the initiative to contact Hanyu Hideki and expressed his willingness to do "something" for Hanyu Hideki.

Hideki Hanyu neither directly agreed nor directly opposed.

Instead, they acquiesced to the other party's behavior without expressing their opinion.

Now, Mr. Fukuda has done what he thought he should do and expressed his choice and "loyalty" to Hideki Hanyu.

What he didn't know was that although Yutaro Hatoyama and his cousin did not inform Hideki Hanyu in advance, they expressed their attitudes faster than him.

All I can say is that these two people are worthy of being the elites in Japan's upper class. Not only do they have unique vision, but they also see further than others.

Hideki Hanyu has been working silently for many years, and the multiple interest groups he has built have gradually taken shape, coupled with his own reputation and influence in the local area.

Many people have seen that this is an emerging "big money sponsor" behind the scenes who can be relied on for a long time in the future.

It is precisely because Hideki Hanyu's wings are not yet fully grown for the time being, so everyone can't wait to "surrender" and try to get a piece of the pie when this emerging force rises.

But what surprised these old foxes was that no matter how they tried, they still hadn't figured out Hanyu Hideki.

Because although Hideki Hanyu seems energetic, cheerful, gentle and elegant to ordinary people, he is an inspirational young man where everything seems perfect except his love life.

However, those upper-class figures who had real contact with Hanyu Hideki only saw a mature character of meticulous planning, foresight, caution, decisiveness, and the ability to plan before taking action under Hanyu Hideki's young and handsome appearance.

The most important thing is that many people cannot see what Hideki Hanyu is thinking, doing, and what he wants to get?
From the beginning, Elf Entertainment Mingxiu's electronic pet business took a different approach to develop the gaming industry in America, and eventually pushed Nintendo off the throne from the outside to the inside.

He then attracted many forces to invest in Ayi International, and then blocked the acquisition of LVMH Group during the stock market crash, eventually making Ayi International the world's largest high-end luxury goods group.

There are also organizations such as the Pachinko Copyright Business Alliance and the Saito Group, which were not taken seriously when they were first established, but have now become industry overlords in Neon Japan. Their forces are intertwined and their interests are so complicated that they are difficult to shake.

And when others were not optimistic, he decisively risked his entire fortune to acquire Tohoku Chemical Co., Ltd., reorganized Tohoku Energy, and began to enter the international energy market. As the international energy market warmed up, he also made huge profits.

Of course, this is not the only case where Hanyu Hideki has gone against the trend.

For example, after the Plaza Accord was signed, the Japanese yen exchange rate soared, and many Japanese companies moved their production overseas, reducing or even closing their investments in Japan.

Like everyone else, Hideki Hanyu has made various investments overseas.

But unlike other Japanese companies, he also faced the rising production costs in Japan and increased production investment and recruitment of industrial workers in Japan.

At first it was only in its hometown of Miyagi Prefecture, and later it gradually expanded to the entire northern region, including the six prefectures of the Northeast and Hokkaido.

Until Hideki Hanyu acquired Tohoku Energy, this type of investment reached its peak and became an economic lifeline in many places.

Moreover, as he was involved in more and more industries and his business grew bigger, his investment scope gradually expanded to all parts of Japan.

In addition to the original factory in Ota Ward, Tokyo, there is also the largest comprehensive industrial park in Japan that is currently being built in Tochigi Prefecture.

To the extent that Hideki Hanyu is now unclear about how many people in Japan depend on him directly or indirectly for their livelihoods.

But he is very clear that the returns of these investments are now evident.

When Japan's industrial system was gradually fading away due to the bubble economy, the biggest driver of the transformation from real to virtual.

When everyone was reveling in the superficial benefits brought by the neon bubble economy, they completely ignored the rising unemployment rate of industrial workers.

Hideki Hanyu has become one of the few people who still stands firm in the rapids, and is even swimming upstream.

The original power structure in many regions was unknowingly overturned by the capital led by Hideki Hanyu.

Emerging capital has crushed traditional forces with ease, become the mainstay of ordinary people's lives, and constitute an irreplaceable part of the basic society.

Nowadays, the companies founded by Hideki Hanyu have become the companies that young college students most want to join after graduation.

Many factories that have been integrated into the local area are also the last choice for industrial workers.

Now looking back at the plans that Hideki Hanyu had made many years ago, he has become a...

To use a not-so-appropriate word to describe it, it is the existence of a "tail that is too big to fall off".

This directly leads to the fact that in some places in Japan, a word from his company often has a greater impact on ordinary people than the official one.

This invisible influence is still growing as the neon bubble economy continues to go crazy and continues to destroy the real economy.

What outsiders don’t know is that the prosperity of the bubble economy is not the biggest driving force behind the expansion of the influence of Hideki Hanyu’s companies.

Only when the bubble bursts will many people understand what Hideki Hanyu is waiting for.

Or realize... who is the biggest winner.

It is precisely Hanyu Hideki's long-term vision of standing at the downstream of history that makes people like Fukuda feel that he is so powerful and yet so mysterious, making it difficult to understand.

At this point, Mr. Fukuda had come to the end of his words about “betraying” his old allies.

Although he did not get anything out of Yutaro Hatoyama and his cousin, the old fox did not forget to give his old ally a thumbs up before ending the call.

“Even though he said this in front of me, President Hanyu cannot let down his guard.

As far as I know, the other party has already won over connections in the upper echelons, and is obviously planning to take advantage of the decline of the Liberation Army to build his own power. President Hanyu must not be used by him at this time."

Facing such a "loyal" Mr. Fukuda, Hanyu Hideki expressed his gratitude with a "sincere" tone, "Thank you Mr. Fukuda for your reminder, I will definitely pay attention to it."

Mr. Fukuda said modestly, "President Hanyu is too polite. All I can remind you now is my life experience of eating more than 20 years of rice."

Hideki Hanyu did not act arrogantly just because the opponent was getting closer to him, but instead acted like a junior.

"Mr. Fukuda is too modest. Your life experience is my most valuable asset."

Mr. Fukuda was obviously very satisfied with Hanyu Hideki's attitude and couldn't help but laugh on the phone.

"As such a modest gentleman, it's no wonder that President Hanyu has achieved what he has today."

At this point, Mr. Fukuda changed the subject again, "I heard from my brother that his daughter Ayano has been asking about President Hanyu's recent situation. It seems that President Hanyu hasn't contacted my niece for a long time."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be helpless and said, "My overseas business has developed rapidly. I have been busy overseas in the past two years. In fact, I have little time to return to Japan."

"I see. My niece is on vacation at home recently. You young people can take this opportunity to get in touch with her more." Mr. Fukuda took the opportunity to bring them together.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fukuda."

Hanyu Hideki thanked him but did not say whether he would meet Fukuda Ayano.

Although the young lady's figure and appearance were in line with his aesthetic standards.

But her family background meant that once Hanyu Hideki had a relationship with her, it would not be as easy to get rid of her as it would be to get rid of other ordinary girls.

Otherwise, how could Naito Haruko, who had an inexplicable and abnormal love for him, be persuaded by just one sentence from him to stop contacting him?

No matter where in the world, marriage decisions among the upper classes often have nothing to do with feelings.

Mutual interests are the biggest driving force and gap in marriage.

Having said that, the call between Mr. Fukuda and Hideki Hanyu has come to an end.

After the phone was handed over to Machiko, Sawaguchi Yasuko in Hanyu Hideki's arms couldn't help but say, "Hideki-kun took a long time to talk on the phone."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki lifted the chin of the beauty in his arms and asked, "What? Can't wait."

Sawaguchi Yasuko said stubbornly, "No, I'm just curious about what Hideki-kun is talking about."

Seeing Sawaguchi Yasuko's cute expression as she couldn't help but say what she meant, Hanyu Hideki became playful and raised his eyebrows to tell her.

"It's just a small matter. A congressman wants to introduce his daughter to me. She's a mixed-race lady with a great figure."

After the scumbag said this, Sawaguchi Yasuko no longer cared about being reserved, put her arms around Hanyu Hideki's neck and gave him a kiss.

"I'm here with Hideki-kun, so don't let your imagination run wild."

"Ha ha……"

Hideki Hanyu smiled without saying anything, and really enjoyed Yasuko Sawaguchi's jealous reaction.

Seeing this, Yasuko Sawaguchi seemed to feel that one person's strength was not enough, and hurriedly waved to the side.

"Sachiko, come and help me."

Sister Quanshui's voice came from the side, "What's wrong?"

Sawaguchi Yasuko said loudly, "Of course we will deal with Hideki together and not allow him to think about the mixed-blood lady."

Sister Izumi, who swam over, obviously didn't understand what Sawaguchi Yasuko was saying, but Hanyu Hideki didn't intend to give her any chance.

He immediately pulled Sister Quanshui over with his other hand.

"Haha, are you sure you two can deal with me together? Today I will make you know how powerful I am."

"Yamaitie!"

"Iku!"

Amid the scumbag's rampant laughter and the screams of Yasuko Sawaguchi and Sister Izumizu, an underwater encounter officially began.
-
With the conclusion of the Neon Telephone Co., Ltd. incident, the current Prime Minister has officially announced his resignation. Although the investigation into the Recruit bribery case has not yet been concluded, its impact on the upper echelons has finally come to an end.

Therefore, during this period, those affected were either arrested and investigated, or quietly licked their wounds and quietly accumulated strength to rise again.

Those who are not implicated or who directly benefit are taking the opportunity to reap the "legacy" left by others, secretly fighting for power and profit, and having a great time.

But all these storms have nothing to do with Hideki Hanyu for the time being.

Just like someone said at the party that day.

Whether in terms of wealth or power, Hiromasa Ezoe is far behind Hideki Hanyu.

In terms of scale, the Recruit Group is not at the same level as the companies under Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki, who has the advantage of being a time traveler, simply disdains to learn from Ezoe Hiromasa's way of doing things.

Although Hideki Hanyu also relied on "overseas study aid" to provide benefits to many upper-class people, he did it openly. While providing "study aid" to the children of upper-class people, he also provided study aid funds to ordinary people who applied normally.

The amount of funding may vary, but the number of places is absolutely equal for all.

The plan will be implemented for several years, even if there are too many upper-class people signing up in a certain year and there are not enough places.

Under the instruction of Hideki Hanyu, the Hanyu Education Foundation will only increase the amount of financial aid and expand its scope, and will not reduce the number of places for ordinary people and transfer them to the children of the upper class.

This is what real big capitalists do, they do things with real money and real input.

He would rather set up a separate subsidiary company "Yunshang Business" in Yunshang Entertainment, spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year to support a group of relatives of the upper class dignitaries as his relatives and eat for free.

I am also unwilling to do stupid things that may leave hidden dangers for myself just to save money.

In this world, one lie needs to be covered up by countless lies, and one mistake needs to be covered up by countless mistakes.

If you apply too many patches, they will eventually be exposed.

Today, money is important to Hideki Hanyu.

But it is no longer the most important thing.

If everything can be solved with money, then it would undoubtedly be the most convenient option for Hideki Hanyu.

……

After inspecting overseas businesses and the turmoil in Japan came to an end, Hideki Hanyu, who is in Tokyo, finally has some leisure time.

Occasionally handle company matters reported to him.

Keep an eye on the box office of Cloud Pictures’ new movie Need for Speed.

Draw an unfinished picture book of "Home Alone 2".

In the rest of my free time, I would wander around among the beauties.

Hideki Hanyu's life is so comfortable.

What Hideki Hanyu didn't know was that during this period of time, Zhou Wenqiong, who had completed the procedures for going abroad, had already arrived in Los Angeles smoothly.

Hibiscus Gardens, Beverly Hills.

Liu Xiaoli was discussing the preparations for the song and dance troupe with her senior sister from China. When she saw Zhou Wenqiong suddenly appear without saying hello, she had to stop working and take care of her cousin first.

In the study room where Hanyu Hideki often stayed, the two sisters sat opposite each other, and Liu Xiaoli asked with concern.

"Xiao Qiong, didn't you say you were very busy with work in China? Why did you suddenly come to Los Angeles? Did something happen?"

Zhou Wenqiong looked at the empty study room and did not answer her cousin's question. Instead, she asked, "Didn't my brother-in-law go back to Los Angeles?"

Liu Xiaoli replied, "What is he doing in Los Angeles? His brother is getting married soon, so he must be helping out in Neon now."

Zhou Wenqiong, who didn't know about this, asked in confusion, "Isn't my cousin going to attend?"

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, her expression became a little strange.

But he answered immediately afterwards.

"The living habits of their family and I are so different that we are not comfortable with each other, so it is better to keep a distance."

After hearing her cousin's answer, Zhou Wenqiong believed it in her heart, but another answer also emerged.

That's because my cousin doesn't want to go, maybe she just doesn't want to meet those women her brother-in-law is with in Neon.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenqiong couldn't help but sigh that her brother-in-law was good in every way except that he was too fickle.

And...why can't I give her this kind of fickleness?

Seeing that her cousin didn't say anything, Liu Xiaoli asked again, "Don't tell me that you suddenly came to Los Angeles just for your brother-in-law, right?"

Liu Xiaoli originally said it as a joke.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhou Wenqiong nodded seriously and replied, "I came to Los Angeles just for him."

For a moment, the air in the entire study seemed to freeze.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her cousin Zhou Wenqiong with complicated eyes.

Although her cousin's answer was ordinary, as a woman, she heard something unusual in her words.

The cousin's tone sounded as if she was confessing something to her.

Moreover, in his reply, he no longer addressed Hanyu Hideki as his brother-in-law, but instead as "he".

This seems to illustrate the change in identity relations.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xiaoli has always been very clear that her cousin has different feelings for Hanyu Hideki.

After all, they have known each other for so many years and have been together day and night, so it would be hard for her not to notice it.

My 24-year-old cousin has never had a boyfriend, but every time my aunt urges her to get married or go on a blind date, she always talks about it in front of me.

"Those men are so different from my brother-in-law. How can I accept this?"

And when she deliberately replied, "If you use your brother-in-law as a standard, then forget about getting married in this life."

My cousin would then say as if jokingly, "If I don't want to get married, then I won't get married. At worst, if no one wants me in the end, I can just let my brother-in-law take me in."

Liu Xiaoli could actually tell that there was some joking and some seriousness in her cousin's words.

However, although Hideki Hanyu was a playboy, he always respected his cousin's feelings and did not do anything inappropriate.

So she just turned a blind eye to her cousin's feelings for Qin Su and didn't ask her about it.

And my cousin has always kept this love in her heart and never expressed it to anyone.

In this situation, Liu Xiaoli felt that her cousin's unrequited love might last for a while, but would eventually be replaced by someone else.

But her cousin's reaction today was completely beyond her expectations.

Is it...

"You guys?"

Liu Xiaoli tried to ask, and the question seemed to be only half answered, but it was enough to show what she wanted to ask.

"No."

Zhou Wenqiong's decisive answer made Liu Xiaoli feel greatly relieved, thinking that she had misunderstood Hanyu Hideki just now.

But her cousin's condition was obviously not right, and Liu Xiaoli still wanted to figure out what was going on.

So she continued to ask, "So, what happened?"

When Zhou Wenqiong heard the question, she seemed to be lost in memories and murmured with a dazed look on her face.

"Cousin, when he went to China before, I expressed my feelings to him, but he rejected me for my cousin."

When she said this, Zhou Wenqiong's eyes suddenly turned red, tears started to flow down her cheeks, and her expression became painful.

"Cousin, I know it's wrong for me to do this, but I just can't control myself.

I'm sorry... I've advised myself many times, but it's no use.

I can't do it. When I close my eyes, all I see is him. I will never fall in love with anyone else except him in this life."

"Hey……"

Seeing her cousin, whom she had loved since childhood, so hurt by love, Liu Xiaoli could not say anything harsh.

She sighed silently, then reached out and hugged her cousin, gently stroked her hair and advised, "Some things can't be forced."

Zhou Wenqiong raised her head, her eyes hopeful, and she pleaded humbly, "Cousin, can you please help me? I have never asked you for anything since I was a child, but I only ask you this time!"

Liu Xiaoli said helplessly, "How can I help you with this? And you know his situation. It would be hard for me to explain to my parents if I followed him. If I bring you along, how can I face my aunt and uncle?"

But Zhou Wenqiong, who had been tortured to the point of collapse by the emotion of not being able to get the love she wanted, had no time to care about anything else at this moment. She held her cousin's hand tightly and said.

"I don't care what others think. I just want to be with him, even if he doesn't like me. Otherwise, I would rather be single for the rest of my life."

"You're really fooling around!"

"My brother-in-law has more than one woman anyway, so why can't he have me as well? As long as you help me, I can help you later, let's do it together..."

In order to achieve his wish, Zhou Wenqiong's words became more and more absurd.

How about the sisters joining forces to compete for favor, driving all other women away from Hanyu Hideki, and helping Sissi get more property from Hanyu Hideki.

But when Liu Xiaoli heard these words, even she found them ridiculous.

But although it is ridiculous, I somehow feel that it makes some sense.

Especially when she thought of Hanyu Hideki's unchangeable romantic nature, even though Hanyu Hideki added her and her daughter's names to the family fund, out of motherly instinct, she was still a little worried and wanted to get more for her daughter.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that when she faced her cousin, she did not refute her immediately, but hesitated unconsciously.

……

At the same time, Hideki Hanyu, who was far away in Tokyo, had no idea what was happening in the Hibiscus Garden.

He even thought that Zhou Wenqiong was still busy starting a business and filming TV series in China at that time.

On August 17, when he was about to travel from Tokyo to Sendai, he received a message from America.

The source is Peter Peterson, founder of Blackstone Group.

He was also the middleman for Hideki Hanyu's acquisition of MCA Universal.

He only told Hanyu Hideki one thing.

That is, "The competition for the acquisition of MCA Universal has officially begun. Panasonic is determined to win, and we must follow up as soon as possible."

Hanyu Hideki's answer was, "Hold it!"

Then, he called Hirohashi Asako and said, "Be prepared. I need you to spread the news that we are raising funds at any time."

Next, he called several other people.

For example, Michael Ovitz, president of Hollywood CAA.

For example, Takeshi Honda of Hanyu Investment, Eiichi Kambo, the financial helmsman, Dante Kane of Hope Angel Investment, and many other generals under his command.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu attaches so much importance to this is because he knows very well that an important acquisition battle is about to begin.

And it's a game within a game, a ring within a ring.

What Hideki Hanyu wants is not just MCA Universal. He also plans to use this incident to pave the way for other layouts and set traps for more opponents.

Then face the final moment of bubble destruction.

So, his short period of leisurely life was coming to an end.
