Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 785: Start in advance
One morning in Minato Ward, Hideki Hanyu stood in front of the glass curtain wall of a luxury apartment, gazing at the busy Tokyo Port.

The luxurious apartment he was in at the moment was the one originally given to Liu Xiaoli.

However, Liu Xiaoli, who is no longer studying in Tokyo and will not live here in the future, has decided to let Hanyu Hideki sell this place.

However, Hideki Hanyu ultimately did not choose to cash out the apartment at its peak. Instead, he cleared out the original owner's belongings, simply redesigned it, and used it as one of his rabbit hives.

Last night, he left the bar with two beautiful NHK anchors and came directly here.

After a night of pleasure, the two women were still too tired to wake up.

But he was already planning to go out and do his own thing.

At this time, besides the stylist who was helping him with his suit, there was also Tomoe Ishihara who was reporting to him.

After listening to this, Hanyu Hideki gave a brief reply.

Before leaving, he did not forget to point to the top floor of the duplex apartment and gave instructions to Ishihara Chie.

"After I left, I arranged for someone to send those two women away."

"Yes." Ishihara Tomoe quickly agreed.

As Hanyu Hideki's trusted assistant, Ishihara Chie is already familiar with such requests.

She knew how to deal with it without Hanyu Hideki explaining it in detail.

After all, judging from Hideki Hanyu's attitude, it's obvious that he's just playing around, having a one-night stand, doing it cleanly and neatly without any dragging his feet, and there's a high probability that they won't have any contact in the future.

As for what to do specifically, of course it is to give women the benefits they need according to convention.

If the other party thinks too much and fantasizes about unrealistic things, then Ishihara Tomoe can only say sorry.

As for the situation where a woman finds that her demands cannot be met and becomes angry and wants to expose herself, Ishihara Chie doesn't care at all.

Not to mention whether they can really expose such things.

So what if it gets exposed?

Her boss's image as a playboy is deeply rooted in people's minds and has been reported countless times in the media. Not only Hanyu Hideki's fans, but even the general public has long been tired of it.

Hideki Hanyu will never give up on such matters.

After all, it has already been a ruin, how much further can it collapse?
……

As for Hideki Hanyu's heart.

As soon as the scumbag stepped out of the apartment door, he completely forgot about the two women.

In the apartment garage, the assistant had already driven the special-colored Verde Pallido Ferrari F40 over in advance as requested.

Hideki Hanyu took the car keys, started the car, and drove straight to the headquarters of Yunshang Entertainment.

Twenty minutes later, Hideki Hanyu appeared in Hirohashi Asako's office on the top floor of Yunshang Entertainment headquarters.

Hirohashi Asako looked at Hanyu Hideki's new look and couldn't help but say, "If Hanyu-san had signed with Tanaka's agency with this look, he would have become famous a long time ago."

"I haven't heard Asako-san say such meaningless things in a long time."

Hideki Hanyu sat on the sofa and asked Hirohashi Asako's assistant to prepare a glass of juice for him.

Then he turned around and asked, "Qianzi-san called me here, wasn't it just for this matter?"

Hirohashi Asako heard this and asked as if she was really considering it carefully, "Hanyu-san, are you really not considering releasing an album? After all, you haven't officially retired yet, and it feels like you should be able to easily sell over a million copies."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki immediately showed a ridiculous expression and asked, "Qianzi-san, what's wrong with you? Is it because Yunshang Entertainment's performance has declined, or Yunshang Music's records are not selling well, that you are targeting me."

Although Hideki Hanyu still has countless classic songs in his mind, if he wants to, with his current qualifications, it would be no problem for him to become a superstar.

But the problem is that now he no longer needs to pursue these things.

Even if he wasn't an artist, he would still be famous.

So what if the record sold well? The sales of 10 million albums is only 30 billion yen, or a little over 200 million US dollars.

For many celebrities, this is a fortune that requires a lifetime of hard work.

But for him now, this money can't even last him a month.

The most important thing is that the industry of an artist is totally incompatible with his current status and position.

Even if he really wanted to do it, I'm afraid others would not agree.

But thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something.

“Maybe I don’t need an album, but I need Cloud Film to arrange a photography team to help me take some portrait photos.

Shogakukan is discussing with me that they hope to release a limited edition with a photo of me after the sales of "I Am a Cat" exceed five million copies."

"When will the shooting start?" Hirohashi Asako asked casually.

She didn't react much to this request.

After all, this is not the first time that Hideki Hanyu has sold limited edition books with bonus photos. Although Shogakukan has also been responsible for the shooting, Hideki Hanyu still prefers to use the cloud projection team.

"The sooner the better. Before I came back, Tetsuo Aiga reported to me that the latest sales volume was close to 4.6 million copies."

But when Hanyu Hideki gave this answer, Hirohashi Asako showed a surprised expression and asked.

"It's selling so fast. It should have been published less than a month ago. Aren't the reviews of Hanyu-san's new book very controversial?"

“Only controversial works can be popular, right?

Besides, isn’t what I wrote in my book true?

It’s just that Japanese society is immersed in the illusion of prosperity and is unwilling to admit its own shortcomings. After all, only a small group of people in the upper class can benefit from the times.

Most ordinary people are just being swept up in the chaos, struggling to survive in the midst of prosperity. Even if they don’t want to admit it, I’m sure they have already resonated with my book in their hearts.”

Hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Hirohashi Asako couldn't help but nodded.

"I've also read Hanyu-san's new book. It's really well written. Although it's hard to adapt it into a film or TV series, it will definitely go down in Japanese literary history. The Order of Culture excluding you because of this book will definitely be the biggest stain on you."

When Hirohashi Asako mentioned the Order of Culture, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have heard something funny and laughed and shook his head.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter, I never cared about that thing from the beginning to the end.

And the reason why I was kicked off the list was not just because of my new book, but because I had never been so servile as to please that family. "

Although Hideki Hanyu has seen neon locust rooms in some award ceremonies.

But he never took the initiative to participate in activities organized by the Neon Locust Room, and deep down he didn't want to have anything to do with that family.

It would be strange if people could like this kind of aloof and unsociable behavior.

Anyway, times have changed. It is difficult for that family to provide him with any substantial help except for the false reputation.

But that kind of old-fashioned false reputation has never been what Hideki Hanyu pursued.

Without any desires or demands, Hanyu Hideki naturally doesn't need to care about the feelings of the locust occupants or try to please them deliberately.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki say this, Hirohashi Asako decisively changed the subject, "Before Mitsui & Co. came to us to change the lease procedures, I learned that Hanyu-san had sold the headquarters building."

"With real estate prices so good right now, it would be a shame not to sell. And I'm not only selling the headquarters of Yunshang Entertainment, I'm also selling the building of Elf Entertainment."

Hideki Hanyu admitted it honestly.

After all, cashing out these heavy assets at a high point was something he had planned long ago, and it had nothing to do with the rumors that he was raising funds for the acquisition of MCA Global.

In fact, the price offered by Mitsui & Co. was not the highest, but Hanyu Hideki considered the cooperative relationship between the two parties and finally chose to sell it to Mitsui.

Of course, even though the price was not the highest, he still made an astronomical sum of money from his investment in these two pieces of land because of the skyrocketing land prices in Tokyo in recent years.

He is probably on par with the top five highest-earning artists in Japan, and he has been busy earning a lifetime's worth of wealth.

For him now, making money is that simple.

"If Qianzi-san is looking for me for this matter, then don't worry. Everything is under my control. I have already chosen the future headquarters of Yunshang Entertainment."

Hideki Hanyu comforts Asako Hirohashi in this way.

Hirohashi Asako shook her head and said, "It's not about that. I want to tell Hanyu-san that the board of directors of Crescent Cinema has changed frequently recently, and some cooperation with Yunshang Entertainment was not approved by the board of directors."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Is that so? It seems like those guys are really impatient."

The people he was talking about were naturally Honma's gang.

In order to expand and acquire companies, Crescent Cinemas has increased its shareholding and raised funds several times. Just considering Yunshang Entertainment’s shareholding in Crescent Cinemas, it is less than 30%.

The fact that he was able to successfully control Crescent Cinemas and require Crescent Cinemas to cooperate in a series of collaborations was entirely due to the support of Hideki Hanyu.

But as Hanyu Hideki sold his shares in the market, Honma and others who had been coveting it for a long time would certainly not miss the opportunity and raised funds to join the board of directors of Crescent Cinemas.

Then as expected, these guys couldn't help but start making trouble as soon as they got a say in the Crescent Cinemas board of directors.

Hanyu Hideki said, "We should push forward what can be pushed forward. No matter how much some clowns jump, they can't block the road to wealth.

As for the cooperation that cannot be promoted, just ignore it for the time being, because they can’t jump for too long. ”

Things have developed to this point. For Hideki Hanyu who has gradually completed all the arrangements and preparations, there is no need for him to wait until the bubble economy is punctured, and he has to develop things in another time and space.

Now he also has the ability to promote certain things.

For example, he could have his people completely side with the central bank in the battle between the Ministry of Finance and the Neon Bank, and then let a certain "Heisei demon" take power ahead of time.

Although he is unable to tell Hirohashi Asako the specific operations for the time being.

But Hirohashi Asako could clearly feel the confidence and ruthlessness in his tone, and so her original worry gradually eased.

Hirohashi Asako said, "In that case, I will follow Hanyu-san's arrangements first."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and comforted Hirohashi Asako, "Don't worry Asako-san, after this period of time, the gains of Yunshang Entertainment will definitely exceed your imagination."

Hirohashi Asako said, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Hanyu-san."

Hanyu Hideki finished the orange juice in front of him, stood up and said to Hirohashi Asako, "Asako-san, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I plan to go to Yunshang Film and arrange a photo shoot, and I also plan to go to Yunshang Music to have a look."

"I have nothing else to do."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki left Hirohashi Asako's office.

However, just as he went out, his assistant reported a piece of news to him.

That is, one of the prince's subordinates just called him and told him that the prince helped him to invest in British Petroleum.

The other party said that even if Hanyu Hideki could not go to the UK in person, it would be better for him to send his subordinates to the UK in a short time to conduct relevant investment negotiations.

Seeing that the prince was serious this time, Hanyu Hideki could only do as the prince wanted for the time being.

Immediately, he prepared to call Shigemasa Nakano, the president of Tohoku Energy in Sendai, and ask him to organize a team to go to the UK immediately.

But what Hanyu Hideki didn't expect was that before he could call Nakano Shigemasa, Nakano Shigemasa called him first.

“President, I have an urgent matter to report to you.

At the regular board meeting this morning, several of our overseas investment plans that were in preparation were jointly halted by several new directors of the board, and even our investment with the Sunkyung Group in the Middle East was affected.

The new directors said that our overseas investment strategy was a serious mistake and must be suspended and abandoned.

They even said... said..."

Hanyu Hideki shouted, "What's the matter? Just tell me directly. What's the use of being so nagging?"

In fact, based on what Shigemasa Nakano said, he could guess what happened in the board of directors of Northeast Energy.

After all, after a series of cashing out, his share of Northeast Energy is less than half of its original value.

He didn't need to guess to know that those who were "taking advantage of the fire" and causing trouble in the Northeast Energy board of directors, like the Crescent Cinema Chain, were all backed by Honma's gang.

Nakano Shigemasa's voice came, "They said that the senior executives who made overseas plans for Tohoku Energy must be held responsible for the company's losses, and they will initiate a board meeting to remove the chairman next week."

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "Let them open the door. Those clowns can't depose me."

He initially controlled Northeast Energy by relying on shares, but today, his control over Northeast Energy is no longer based on the number of shares.

Otherwise, after Northeast Energy went public, he would have lost his absolute controlling stake, so he would have been kicked out of the board of directors long ago. Honma and others had a good idea, but I'm afraid that Mitsui alone would not agree to the proposal to remove him.

However, it is really disgusting to see these clowns jumping around.

So he decided to push things forward as quickly as possible and get rid of these guys as soon as possible.

Anyway, he had already prepared a tight net for those guys.

After finishing the call with Nakano Shigemasa, Hanyu Hideki called Marco and gave him instructions.

"Please contact Councillor Sasaki, Councillor Fujino, and Minister Inoue for me...

I'll treat them to lunch at the usual place at noon."

"Yes, I'll contact you right away."

After Marco agreed to leave, before Hideki Hanyu had time to go to Yunshang Film and Entertainment, he received calls from Mrs. Tanaka and Koichi Minato, the president of Yunshang Satellite TV.

As for the content, it is similar to what Hirohashi Asako and Nakano Shigemasa said before.

Due to changes in the board of directors, some of the original work plans were obstructed by the board of directors.

But unlike Northeast Energy and Crescent Cinemas, Honma's group did not achieve success after jumping around in these two companies.

Because Ayi International's shareholding is too complicated, and Ayi International's business strategy has always been very successful, it has helped the group bring in huge profits.

Therefore, the obstruction of the family group was not recognized by other board members.

As for Yunshang Satellite TV, since it has been listed for the shortest time and its shareholdings before listing were relatively concentrated, although Honma's group has acquired a lot of shares, they are unable to influence the decision of the board of directors at all.

After receiving these two calls, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but smile mockingly.

"What a bunch of clowns. They are so weak yet they still want to cause trouble. It seems that my help is not enough."

After saying that, he called one of his subordinates and gave him direct instructions.

“Continue to contact those guys. As long as they dare to pledge, whether it’s stocks or assets, we will lend them money directly. The more the better.

Otherwise, if they didn’t buy enough shares and didn’t get into the trap deeply enough, how could I enjoy the fun from now on?”

After making the arrangements, Hideki Hanyu walked downstairs humming a little tune.

After arriving at Yunshang Film Studio, he instructed the photography department to prepare a team for his photo shoot, then left directly for Yunshang Music.

When he arrived at Cloud Music, he found it quite lively.

After asking, I found out that it was MF Records owned by Daiyuki Nagato who was publicly selecting backing vocalists for BBQUEENS, the band that was to sing the theme song for "Chibi Maruko-chan".

Although he is only a backing singer, once selected he has the possibility to join Cloud Music. Therefore, after the recruitment was announced, it still attracted a large number of singers to apply.

But whether it is the collaboration between MF Records and the "Chibi Maruko-chan" production team or the selection of backing singers, Hideki Hanyu has no intention of interfering.

After all, Yunshang Music is running very well on its own now. Not to mention the theme song of "Chibi Maruko-chan", a few months ago when he learned that the "off course" band had disbanded and the band's soul figure Oda Kazumasa had switched to Yunshang Music, he also did not interfere too much.

If you want to know who Kazumasa Oda is, the classic theme song of "Tokyo Love Story" was composed by Kazumasa Oda.

He came to Cloud Music today, not only to check on the audition and signing status of Moji Ohguro, but also to meet Avex Records, which he had recruited, and to ask about whether Masato Matsuura, who had already connected with Tetsuya Komuro, was developing along the original trajectory.

Rather than a song or a singer, what he cares more about is actually the control of the entire market trend.

Nagato Daiyuki's Being style has now been completely absorbed by Cloud Music, and with the rising trend of rock music, it has not yet gone astray.

Therefore, he did not want to enter the 1990s, because his butterfly wings would accidentally blow the Avex record company that occupied the other half of the market crooked.

However, before Hanyu Hideki, Ohguro Maki and Matsuura Katsuto met who entered Cloud Music, they met another person first.

That was Noriko Sakai, who I met by chance in the bar last night.

When the little girl saw him, she immediately came up to him with joy.

"Hideki-san, are you here for the audition of Daikoku-san?"

Hanyu Hideki tapped Noriko Sakai on the head and said, "Brother was the one I called yesterday to conceal my identity. I call him President in the company!"

Noriko Sakai quickly held her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, President."

Hideki Hanyu didn't really blame Noriko Sakai, it was just a joke.

The girl who had not yet met that terrible fate in this time and space was now as lively and cute as a little rabbit, and it was hard to dislike her.

He then asked, "Is Noriko here today for Daikoro Moji?"

Noriko Sakai replied, "I came here to record the New Year's single, but I also planned to visit Daikoro-san. Today, President Nagato is recruiting chorus singers for MF, and there are quite a lot of people coming. I'm worried that it will affect her audition."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Is that so? Let's go and see her together. Do you know where she is?"

"I know, please follow me, President."

After saying that, Noriko Sakai took Hideki Hanyu and walked towards an office somewhere.

Along the way, the appearance of Hideki Hanyu attracted countless people's attention.

There are employees of Yunshang Music, amateurs who come to participate in the chorus recruitment, and also singers who come to discuss cooperation and record songs, not just Yunshang Entertainment.

All I can say is that the scumbag's white hair style is too eye-catching, especially its lethality to women is really too much.

But unfortunately, no matter what these women thought, no one dared to take any substantial action because of Hanyu Hideki's identity.

Soon, Hideki Hanyu and Noriko Sakai arrived outside an office and saw Maki Ohguro sitting inside waiting.

It was only then that Hideki Hanyu realized that there was more than just Moki Ohguro waiting here.

And it seems that the audition and the recruitment of backing vocalists are put together.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for Hideki Hanyu to stay here for Maki Ohguro. After all, in addition to meeting Katsuto Matsuura, he also has an important appointment at noon.

So he immediately said to Noriko Sakai, "Tell her to meet me in the reception room next door."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki walked into the reception room next door.

Not long after, Noriko Sakai appeared with Maki Ohguro.

There was no one around, so Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to talk nonsense.

He directly took out one of his personal business cards and handed it to Daikoku Moji, “When you meet Sagawa Tomoya later, if the audition is unsuccessful, give him my business card.

If you succeed, you can keep the business card for yourself."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Noriko Sakai next to him hurriedly reminded Ohguro Maki in a low voice.

"Sagawa Tomo, also known as Minister Sagawa, why don't you thank President Hanyu?"

Moji Ohguro is not a fool. She naturally understands that Hanyu Hideki gave her his business card to back her up for the audition.

Although Daikoku Maki is very confident in his own abilities, he will not refuse the kindness from a big shot like Hanyu Hideki.

Daikoku Maki respectfully took the business card with both hands, and then bowed deeply to express his gratitude, "Thank you very much, President Hanyu, for your appreciation of me. I will definitely not let you down."

"Don't let yourself down, not me. Just work hard."

After giving some encouragement, Hideki Hanyu left.

Noriko Sakai seemed a little reluctant to say something, but Hanyu Hideki did not give her the chance to say anything else except saying goodbye.

Afterwards, Hanyu Hideki met Matsuura Katsuto, who was discussing work with Chiba Ryuhei, on the floor of Avex Records.

Seeing the big boss appear, the two naturally put down their work and welcomed Hideki Hanyu's arrival.

Although Masato Matsuura and Ryuhei Chiba will be big names in the Japanese entertainment industry in the future, the gap between them and Hideki Hanyu is still too huge as they have not yet made a name for themselves.

Therefore, it was difficult for Hideki Hanyu to have a close conversation with the two of them. Their slightly flattering and respectful attitude made it difficult for him to speak many words naturally.

In the end, Hideki Hanyu could only briefly understand the development of Avex. After learning that Cloud Music had given Katsuto Matsuura the greatest management freedom in accordance with his requirements, he felt relieved that the other party had not gone astray.

After finishing the meeting with Katsuto Matsuura, it was time for Hideki Hanyu to leave Yunshang Entertainment.

But when he arrived at the parking lot and was about to drive away.

But then he saw Noriko Sakai, who was as lively and cute as a rabbit, running towards him. It was obvious that she had been waiting here for a long time.

"President Hanyu, it's almost lunch time. Can I invite you to have lunch with me?"

"Have you been waiting for me here?" asked Hideki Hanyu.

"No...no, it was a complete coincidence."

Noriko Sakai tried her best to explain, but the shyness and nervousness on her pretty face made her words unconvincing.

Hideki Hanyu did not reveal the little girl's thoughts, but smiled warmly.

"I have to meet some friends at noon. If you want, you can go with me."

Upon hearing this, Noriko Sakai immediately said eagerly, "Of course I do."

"Then let's go."

Hideki Hanyu opened the door of the Ferrari F40 and made an inviting gesture to Noriko Sakai.

……

more than three hours later.

At the door of a private restaurant in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, Hideki Hanyu saw off several guests who had just dined with him one by one.

Noriko Sakai, who had changed into a kimono at some point, was now standing next to Hideki Hanyu with a well-behaved look on her face.

After all, just now in the restaurant, even though they were halfway through their meal, Hanyu Hideki asked her and the other waitresses to leave the box on the pretext of discussing important matters.

But she had already recognized that many of the people who had dinner with Hanyu Hideki were big names who could often be seen on TV news.

How could she not be well-behaved in such an important occasion?

However, Hideki Hanyu was not too concerned about Noriko Sakai's condition at this time.

He was still thinking about the discussion he had just had with those people.

The struggle between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank is at its most critical moment.

Now that he has been secretly fanning the flames in advance, I think the result will definitely be reached faster than in another time and space.

Thinking of this, he felt that some measures must be launched in advance.

He handed the keys of the Ferrari F40 to his assistant and asked him to drive the car back to the Yorozuya Shop.

He himself got into the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit driven by Marco.

As soon as he got in the car, he immediately made two calls.

In the first call, he said, "Hand over the information we have. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division seems to have nothing to do recently. How can the aftermath of the Recruit bribery case be ended so easily?"

The second call was to Karl Mapp, a partner in his lobbying firm in Washington.

“Karl, how is our company doing recently?”

"Very good, thanks to your help, we have a constant stream of Japanese customers."

"That's good, but I need you to do something for me now."

"please say."

"Contact our friends and ask them to put pressure on Tokyo. I want to bring bad luck to some guys. Specifically..."

After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Hideki realized that the car was still parked in front of the restaurant without moving.

Just when Hanyu Hideki was about to ask Marco what was going on, he saw Marco winking out of the car window.

Then he discovered that while he was on the phone, Noriko Sakai was still guarding the car and had not left.

Hanyu Hideki rolled down the window and joked to Sakai Noriko, "Why don't you go home? Do you want me to continue treating you to dinner?"

The girl placed her hands in front of her body, nervously twirling her two index fingers around, and answered in a weak, mosquito-like voice, beyond the man's expectations.

"think."
