Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 782 Are You Afraid of Me?

As November approaches, the lively public opinion atmosphere in Japan remains.

But in Japan's financial investment community, such rumors have been circulating since someone unknown began to spread.

In order to win the competition with Panasonic in the acquisition of MCA Universal, Hideki Hanyu, who was desperately raising funds, not only sold the headquarters buildings of Yunshang Entertainment and Elf Entertainment, but also cashed out the stocks of listed companies in his hands.

Even the stocks of core enterprises such as Ayi International, Crescent Cinema Line, Northeast Energy, and Cloud Satellite TV are still being sold.

It's not just the secondary market, there are also institutions that rely on intermediaries to connect, with fast transactions, regardless of the buyer, the highest bidder wins.

At first, these were just rumors.

But as time went on, everyone realized that this was more than just a rumor.

As the media began to intervene in the reporting based on rumors, Hideki Hanyu, who has long occupied the Japanese media headlines, had another piece of news that could be reported.

Of course, with public opinion overwhelmingly criticizing him, this kind of news would not receive good reviews when it was revealed.

It's just that he is overestimating his own capabilities in competing with Panasonic, and he is trying to hold on without any strength.

Or maybe it's a conspiracy theory that perhaps Hideki Hanyu is raising funds not just to acquire MCA Global, and the rumors of his previous failed investments and bankruptcy may be true.

All in all, Hanyu Hideki's public opinion in Japan is currently at its worst since he became famous.

When he was a flop idol, at most people in the entertainment industry laughed at him, and because he was not famous, even those who laughed at him were very few.

But now, the entire Japanese media is mocking him and taking advantage of his misfortune.

This seems to prove from the side that Hideki Hanyu has not wasted these years.

After all, there is a saying that there are as many people who like you as there are people who hate you.

On the other hand, the fact that so many people are eager to see Hideki Hanyu get into trouble also represents Hanyu Hideki's success.

But even in such a situation, Hideki Hanyu remained silent and did not respond to any rumors from the outside world.

Neither he, nor Yunshang Culture, which handles his writer business, nor the assistant office responsible for his external liaison, remained silent and did not make any statement.

He completely ignored the influx of media interviews and allowed public opinion to ferment wildly.

Because for Hideki Hanyu, these criticisms and speculations from the Japanese media have no impact on him at all.

To some extent, it even played a role in confusing the public, helping him cover up many things and misleading the judgment of too many people.

This meant that many of his actions were carried out quietly under the cover of public opinion.

For example, there is an action that is very large and has a wide impact, but it is completely covered up by the lively public opinion.

It was Sky Telecom Co., Ltd., under the leadership of Yugo Suzuki, that took advantage of the aftermath of the Recruit bribery case involving Neon Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd., and successfully completed the investment and control of Neon Telegraph and Telephone Co., Ltd.'s 29 subsidiaries throughout Neon.

After this battle, Sky Telecom Co., Ltd. officially completed its group reorganization.

From being a new company that initially represented Cisco products and provided Internet construction services to universities and professional institutions, it has now become one of the giant telephone service providers in Japan.

This acquisition, which can be described as "taking advantage of the fire", has brought benefits to Sky Telecom Co., Ltd., not only saving a lot of time in investing in basic communications construction, but also gaining a huge amount of customer resources.

It also allows Sky Telecom Co., Ltd. to have a convenient interface to enter the market as soon as the next Internet revolution arrives.

For Hideki Hanyu, who is foresighted, this is something that if you miss it now, it will be difficult to buy it in the future even if you want to spend money.

In fact, there are more than one thing like this that Hanyu Hideki has quietly planned and taken advantage of the opportunity to accomplish.

For example, he knew that those guys in Honma raised a lot of funds and bought up the company stocks he sold.

Judging from their personal strength alone, Honma's group is certainly not qualified to accept the offer thrown by Hanyu Hideki.

But these guys are numerous and powerful, and they can build a strong tower by mortgaging local core assets. The combined strength makes him look at them in a new light.

Besides, during the years of the bubble economy, this group of people made a lot of money in Japan's financial industry.

In order to achieve their goal this time, these people worked together and made a desperate effort.

It’s a pity that Honma and his gang will never know that all their actions are clearly known by Hanyu Hideki.

What they don't know is that the core assets they mortgaged locally to raise funds were seemingly paid by trustworthy local people, but the actual person behind the scenes was Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu, who was thousands of miles away, watched quietly and silently as the little insects hiding in the darkness fell into the big net he had made without knowing it.

The sense of accomplishment of standing on the top of the mountain and having everything under control is simply hard to describe in words.

When he stood on the deck of the yacht at sea, he received reports from his subordinates on a satellite phone and listened to how each matter was progressing steadily according to his plan.

The mental pleasure directly stimulated his body, making it difficult for him to remain calm. He lowered his head and covered his face, letting out a triumphant, excited, and extremely wild laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

This laugh was completely different from his previous image.

To others, it might even sound scary and creepy.

"Hanyu...Hanyu-san, what's wrong with you?"

Next to Hanyu Hideki, Fuji Ayako, who had just brought Hanyu Hideki a glass of juice, asked with concern in her panicked tone.

"Ha ha……"

Hanyu Hideki chuckled strangely, then slowly raised his head. His eyes, which showed no concealment of his ambition, looked straight at Fuji Ayako, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Hanyu Hideki, who asked this question, lifted the chin of the young and mature beauty with his hand and looked her up and down with cold eyes, as if a meat-eating superior is considering where to start before tasting the food.

"I...I didn't."

Fuji Ayako denied it verbally, but her trembling tone and frightened expression completely betrayed her.

As a woman with special emotional experience, Fuji Ayako was once dubbed the "Black Widow" by the media.

And she herself, after experiencing the ups and downs from the bottom to the top, does have a decisive and strong heart.

Therefore, even when facing the boss of the agency she is currently signing with, the Japanese entertainment industry's "gangster" boss Ikuo Suho, she can maintain her attitude without fear.

But when Fuji Ayako faced Hanyu Hideki at this moment, she only felt that she was facing an unspeakable terrifying existence.

The suffocating feeling of oppression was so intense that before she could even react, her body began to instinctively feel afraid.

It was as if she, the "Black Widow", had encountered a natural enemy that could easily devour her.

Fuji Ayako didn't know why Hideki Hanyu suddenly became like this.

Or maybe this is the true side of Hideki Hanyu hidden beneath his usual appearance.

Fuji Ayako was panicking and having all sorts of wild thoughts in her mind.

However, the emotions that Hanyu Hideki released in an instant began to be restrained by his reason, and the coldness in his eyes and the ferocity in his expression gradually began to fade.

"Really? If you're not scared, then I don't like the way you're acting now, as if I'm a bad person."

As Hanyu Hideki spoke, his fingers gently brushed Fuji Ayako's cheek.

The touch of the fingers made the woman tremble slightly again.

But soon, the woman seemed to notice the changes in Hanyu Hideki.

After seeing Hanyu Hideki's eyes and expression, he returned to his previous state, youthful, sunny, gentle and elegant, as if nothing had happened just now.

This made Fuji Ayako immediately try hard to force a smile that Hanyu Hideki would like her to hear what Hanyu Hideki said.

But Fuji Ayako, whose fear was still lingering in her heart, did not notice that her smile, which was meant to please Hanyu Hideki, felt more miserable than crying.

"Why, Ayako is still unhappy..."

Just as Hanyu Hideki started to speak, Fuji Ayako became nervous when she heard what he said.

Suddenly, Chiharu Ono's voice came from behind.

"Hanyu-san, Mrs. Igawa and I have prepared lunch. You and Ayako should come and eat."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki turned around and approached Igawa Koharu, who was wearing a swimsuit and a gauze dress. He put his arm around the pretty widow's slender waist and said, "I'll go to dinner with you right now."

After saying that, he took the woman towards the cabin.

However, after taking just a few steps, he stopped again, without moving, and just looked back at Fuji Ayako who was still standing behind him.

"Ayako, why aren't you leaving yet?"

"I... I'm coming."

When Fuji Ayako agreed, her body trembled uncontrollably.

What kind of look is that...

Like a wolf and an eagle!
-
Time flies, and soon it is mid-November.

On November 16, Hanyu Hideki received the latest progress of the competition with Panasonic for MCA Universal, and learned from the report of the CEO of Cloud Pictures that the box office of the new movie "Leap Over Innocence" had exceeded 65 million US dollars.

Hideki Hanyu finally ended his longest "vacation" trip to Hawaii.

The Yunshang took off from Honolulu International Airport and landed at Haneda International Airport after a ten-hour flight.

Since Hideki Hanyu is now at the center of a public opinion storm, in order to avoid trouble, the three women who returned with him left the airport alone.

Hideki Hanyu himself left a little later.

As for why Hideki Hanyu returned to Japan at this time, it was not because of his own business, but because he was invited by others.

The inviter was none other than the British royal family.

To be precise, it is the British Prince and Princess who visit Asia every year and will arrive in Tokyo in two days.

Now that Vigorous membership stores have begun to expand aggressively in Asia and are gradually developing around the world, they still need to rely on the name of Prince.

The cooperation between the two parties can be said to be in the "honeymoon period".

So when the prince sent the invitation, Hanyu Hideki naturally had to give him face.

However, after leaving the airport, he did not return to the Yorozuya.

Instead, he went straight to Kamiyama-cho, Shibuya, where Kuroki Hitomi lived.

The former has become the focus of media and certain people because of his current public opinion storm, and there are basically people stationed there all year round.

He didn't want to be at this stage again and be a visited monkey in the Yorozuya Shop.

As for the latter, although the house is not as good as the Yorozuya, it is located in a private community that outsiders cannot enter at all, and it is home to many high-ranking Japanese figures, so its privacy is actually stronger than that of the Yorozuya.

After Hanyu Hideki entered the house in a low-key manner and held his second daughter, Hanyu Yuma, in his arms, he was bombarded with caring questions from Kuroki Hitomi, who had returned temporarily.

Hanyu Hideki had no choice but to patiently explain and, by the way, reject the same offers of money from Kuroki Hitomi and Nakamori Akina, only then did he dispel the woman's worries.

……

At midnight.

The man and woman who met again after a short separation ended their romance.

Hitomi Kuroki leaned on Hanyu Hideki's chest and asked with concern, "There are still two days before the British prince arrives. Are you going to stay here all the time, Hanyu?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Although I returned to Tokyo because of the prince's invitation, I also planned to take care of some other things while I was there."

Seeing that Kuroki Hitomi wanted to ask something, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly said, "Just take care of your work at the office, and don't ask too much about men's affairs."

"Okay." Kuroki Hitomi agreed obediently.

I have to say that Japanese women really do a great job in respecting their husbands at home.

Even though Hanyu Hideki didn't like to act like a male chauvinist when they were together in the past, influenced by his memories of his past life, as long as he opened his mouth, the women would still listen to him obediently.

At this point, Hanyu Hideki added one more reminder, "I have to meet some friends tomorrow and may not be back until later."

"Well, I see."

Kuroki Hitomi agreed obediently again, again without asking any more questions.

……

November seventeenth.

After lunch, Hanyu Hideki took an ordinary Audi and left Shibuya Kamiyamacho in a low-key manner.
The vehicle drove all the way and finally arrived at Ota District, a factory that produces electronic pet accessories for Elf Entertainment.

The land of this factory originally belonged to Hideki Hanyu, but he has now cashed out and sold it at a high point. The buyer is a businessman in Hong Kong who runs a plastic business.

Judging from the current land prices in Ota Ward, compared to the price that Hideki Hanyu originally sold the land for, the Hong Kong buyer can be said to have made a lot of money.

But for Hideki Hanyu, who knows his future well, he doesn't care about earning less money at all.

After all, when Yasushi Mieno takes office next month, Japan's financial bubble will be the first to burst, although the real estate market has been struggling for more than a year.

However, the status of bulk land transactions during this period is that there is a price but no demand, and everyone is just holding on to the high price and waiting for someone to take over.

However, although the land was sold, the factory was still rented by Elf Entertainment. It is also one of the few factories of Elf Entertainment that is still in operation in Tokyo.

It’s just that Hideki Hanyu came here secretly today, but not to inspect the factory.

As luck would have it, the factory was overhauling its production line today and had temporarily stopped production for a day.

In the deserted factory, dozens of elite bodyguards who arrived early under Marco's arrangement occupied important positions and guarded all the entrances and exits.

After seeing all this, Hanyu Hideki walked into the factory and said to Marco with a smile, "The people who came to see me today are all my own people. There's no need to be so exaggerated."

Marco said directly, "Always be vigilant against those who live in the dark corners."

"Okay, I trust you to do the job."

Since Marco had made the arrangements, Hideki Hanyu didn't worry too much about it.

Not long after Hanyu Hideki entered the factory, a bodyguard came to report, "Boss, someone has arrived."

"Who came first?" asked Hideki Hanyu.

The bodyguard replied, "Da Yue and Shi, he also brought a woman with him."

"It just so happens that I'm waiting for him too, bring him in first."

After giving the order, Hanyu Hideki thought that the person that Okoshi and Fumu brought was probably the shell girl he had found.

While he was guessing, Dai Yue and Shi had already appeared in the factory.

Today's Dai Yue and Shi are no longer the uncouth looking men of the past, wearing flowered shirts, wooden clogs, and looking all frivolous.

He was wearing a black suit, leather shoes, and his hair was neatly combed back. Although his appearance was ordinary, his cold and resolute temperament gave him the air of a successful man.

It is also quite consistent with the imagination of ordinary people about Neon Yakuza in film and television works.

Next to Dai Yue and Shi stood a mature woman wearing a white dress. She was not very pretty and had a rather plain temperament.

After Dai Yueheshi brought the woman to Hanyu Hideki, he knelt down with the woman and bowed heavily.

"Sir, I am very happy to meet you. I cannot repay you for your help to me and Qiuzi even if I sacrifice my life."

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki pretended to be annoyed and said.

"Why are you saying such things, you bastard? I'm helping you get her back, not for you to sacrifice your life!
Hurry up and stop giving me this crap. I called you here today to discuss things, not to talk nonsense."

Hanyu Hideki's seemingly scolding words, when heard by Daikoshi Heshi, made Daikoshi Heshi feel the warmth and kindness that Hanyu Hideki treated him as one of his own.

Therefore, as soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Okoshi Heshi pulled the woman beside him up, but still insisted stubbornly, "I still want to thank you, sir."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank me, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

After saying that, he looked at the woman beside Dayue and Shi and said, "This Miss Qiuzi must be your Shell Girl."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the woman thanked Hanyu Hideki again for saving her from South America.

And Ogoshi Kazushi followed suit, "Yes, but her name is Ogoshi Akiko now."

"Haha, so you're already Mrs. Oyue."

After Hanyu Hideki changed his address, he immediately said to Okoshi and Shi, "I have something to discuss with you alone. Please ask your wife to wait outside."

"Yes."

Dai Yue and Shi responded and let Dai Yue Qiuzi leave the factory first.

Hanyu Hideki then lowered his voice and said, "Next, the Inagawa Group, the Sumiyoshi Group, and the Yamaguchi Group... and others will come here to see me."

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said about those people, Okoshi and Shi immediately tried to dissuade him anxiously.

"As a gentleman, how can you meet them in person? If you have anything to say, you can leave it to me or someone else to communicate with. Those guys are..."

Before Okoshi and Shi could finish their words, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand to interrupt them.

"I understand your concerns. In the past, I would never meet them in person, but this time I have to come in person."

After that, Hanyu Hideki lowered his voice again and said, "When they are all here, I need you to cooperate with me."

Da Yuehe Shi said solemnly, "Sir, please tell me how you want me to cooperate."

Hanyu Hideki reached out and patted Okoshi and Shi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Don't be so serious. What I'm going to do is not as serious as you think. Just follow my instructions.

As for how to cooperate specifically.

So and so... so and so..."
