Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 794 Only children make choices, I want them all

Due to an unexpected incident, Hideki Hanyu was unable to rest all night.

By the time he finished his meeting with Honma and returned to the Yorozuya, it was already bright.

As soon as I entered the house from the garage, I saw my sister Yui Hanyu sitting on the sofa in the living room, bored, constantly pressing the remote control in her hand to change the channels of the TV in the distance.

When Hideki Hanyu entered the living room, he was discovered by his sister.

The other party immediately dropped the remote control, pounced on Hanyu Hideki, and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Onii-chan, Anna suddenly brought me here last night. Did something serious happen?"

Hanyu Hideki patted his sister's back gently and said soothingly, "Something happened, but I can handle it. Just in case, you can stay at my place for the next few days and don't have to go to school for the time being."

Yui Hanyu asked with concern, "Is it okay for my second brother to be in Tochigi Prefecture?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "Don't worry, Hidetoshi is fine. I have ended his work in Tochigi Prefecture ahead of schedule. After the New Year, he will go to the city council to study."

Last night, he didn't send everyone to Sendai City.

For example, the younger sister Yui Hanyu in front of him was taken to the Yorozuya by the bodyguard Anna for protection.

The three energetic girls who also attended the reception last night were taken back home by Hirohashi Asako, and their security was strengthened by Hanyu Hideki.

The person who took action this time is in the dark, and no matter whether he is exposed or not, he will arrange his actions with the worst possible outcome in mind.

First of all, it’s better to be careful.

Secondly, he also wanted to test his own strength as a practice for dealing with crises in the future.

At present, although the expected crisis has not occurred, the desperate people seem to have only those three tricks left and have not taken any other actions.

But he was still very satisfied with the efficiency of the actions of his forces.

The only thing that made him regretful was that Ogoshi Kazufumi, who was limited to the development of Ota Ward and surrounding areas, could not keep up with his development speed despite his strong strength.

This is also the reason why he met with Dai Yue and Shi in the early morning and pushed them to take the position quickly.

For this matter, he will go to meet Yutaro Hatoyama next.

After all, that family is known as the super family that rules the underground world of Japan. Many times, the effect of their words is much more convenient than Hideki Hanyu coming forward.

Although Hideki Hanyu has done a good job in the upper level,

But he did not expect that at the critical moment when Oetsu and Shizai Sumiyoshi-kai launched a power grab, other short-sighted social groups would appear and take advantage of the situation.

Just like this, Hanyu Hideki was thinking about his next move in his mind while comforting his sister Hanyu Yui.

The TV in the living room suddenly started broadcasting a latest report, which attracted Hideki Hanyu's attention.

"In order to further regulate Japan's existing economy, the Bank of Japan announced this morning its decision to raise the benchmark interest rate. Next..."

After just listening to the beginning, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

As the Neon stock market has been falling across the board for two weeks, everyone is hoping that the Neon Central Bank will step in to regulate and prevent the financial market from further deteriorating.

But this guy with extreme behavior, Yasushi Mieno, did not disappoint Hideki Hanyu.

This is the second time the benchmark interest rate has been raised in less than three weeks.

Apparently, even though the Japanese financial market was in tatters and other industries were beginning to be affected by the stock market crash, Mieno Yasushi still felt that the bubble was not bursting fast enough.

"I really don't understand. Don't these guys know that it hurts the most to cut with a blunt knife?"

Hanyu Hideki muttered to himself, then turned around and told Marco, "Prepare the car. I want to go to the central area."

"Okay," Marco replied.

Hanyu Hideki said to his sister Hanyu Yui, "Stay at the Yorozuya, I'm going out to work."

After saying this, he said goodbye to his sister, went back to the garage, got in his Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, and headed straight for the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Chuo District.

After the car arrived near the exchange, Hideki Hanyu got out and entered an office building next to it.

After taking the elevator to the top floor, he entered a company with no name hanging on it.

Although it was his first time here, everyone inside obviously knew him.

He was respectfully taken to an office.

Hideki Hanyu pushed the door open without knocking.

Then I saw Naito Haruko sitting behind her desk, processing various documents.

Naito Haruko was born with a baby face, and her petite figure is too plump and exaggerated. At this moment, she is wearing a high-end OL suit. The contrast between her appearance and shape creates a strong contrast between her immaturity and maturity.

Even a scumbag who has seen countless women couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After all, in the eyes of many men, such girls are the real top quality.

At this time, Naito Haruko also saw that it was Hideki Hanyu who walked in.

Not only did he not blame Hideki Hanyu for barging in without permission.

Instead, she considerately stepped forward and closed the office door, then pretended to be coquettish and said to Hanyu Hideki, "You are the only one who dares to barge in without knocking, relying on my love for you."

Hideki Hanyu ignored what Haruko Naito said, sat down in Haruko Naito's boss chair, glanced at the contents of the document in front of him, and asked.

"You should know that Neon Bank has raised its base interest rate for the second time, right?"

"Of course I know. After the market opened today, the market started to plummet again. If you had come a few minutes earlier, you would have seen the idiot jumping off the building opposite."

As Naito Haruko spoke, she glanced out the window, which was the direction of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "In just the past two weeks, the overall market has fallen by 10%, and the Nikkei index has fallen from 39,000 to the current 35,000.

In this situation, it would be abnormal if no one jumped off the building.

I heard that people are lining up to apply for female public relations positions in Kabukicho, Shinjuku.

It is estimated that by next year, the quality of Xidu Group’s female talents will also see a qualitative improvement.”

When Hanyu Hideki said this, it seemed as if he had already seen the spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of Japanese women going to the adult industry after the financial disaster.

Last year, just a small stock market crash caused countless families to go bankrupt and forced countless wives and daughters to go to nightclubs.

But what Neon is experiencing now is a super economic disaster that will directly ruin decades of economic development and completely destroy the country's future.

The reason why Japan's love action film industry was so prosperous in the future was that the sex industry began to develop rapidly. In Okubo Park, there was a prostitute every five steps and a pair every ten steps. The whole nation was in a state of depravity, and the moral bottom line, which was already low, completely declined.

Ultimately, it’s all due to the bursting of the bubble economy.

The economic achievements of the neon bubble era were of course brilliant and dazzling, like the most dazzling fireworks in the sky.

But the destruction after the brilliance left Neon with irreparable devastation.

Next to her, Naito Haruko felt a little jealous when she heard Hanyu Hideki mention Kabukicho and Saito Group.

"Hanyu-san actually knows so much about it, and he's so excited when he talks about it. Did he just go and find out last night?"

Hanyu Hideki thought that the reason why he was in his current state was because he had finally waited for Japan to suffer misfortune. How could the soul from China in his body not be happy and excited?

But facing the Japanese girl in front of him, he naturally couldn't express these thoughts clearly, and he was too lazy to waste his words.

He reached out and pulled Naito Haruko into his arms.

"I did not rest last night, but it was not because you were jealous, but because I was thinking about you."

The scumbag lifted up Naito Haruko's face with one hand, smiled, and spoke in a falsely gentle voice.

The other hand that was holding Naito Haruko had already reached under her shirt while speaking, trying to find Da Lei.

Being attacked from both sides, Naito Haruko said shyly, "I don't believe you are thinking about me."

However, although Naito Haruko said this, when faced with Hanyu Hideki who lowered his head and started a passionate kiss, she instinctively took the initiative to respond.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became hot.

……

After a while, the office returned to calm.

Hideki Hanyu put on his shirt again and was buttoning it. He glanced at Haruko Naito, who was slumped on the desk and still gasping for breath from exhaustion.

In a tone of pretended dissatisfaction, he said, "You are really disappointing."

Upon hearing this, Haruko Naito struggled to stand up and wanted to refute.

But when the words came to his lips, he remembered how she had just begged for mercy, and his pretty face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say anything.

Hanyu Hideki was still unyielding, "If you continue to behave like this, I will really consider going to Kabukicho or Roppongi to meet my needs after having sex with you."

Naito Haruko said unconvincedly, "You have other women, so why do you go to that kind of place to satisfy your needs?"

Hanyu Hideki raised his lips and gave a wicked smile, "So, you agree to be with other women?"

Naito Haruko flatly denied it, "Absolutely impossible."

The scumbag immediately said unhappily, "I don't care. You can't satisfy me. Either you find a way to help me solve it, or I find a way to solve it myself."

"Huh! You are really overbearing."

In response to Naito Haruko's complaint, the scumbag continued to PUA, "Don't turn your responsibility into my problem."

"You didn't come to me today to talk about these things, did you?"

Naito Haruko climbed up from the table while tidying up her clothes.

"Of course not, I just couldn't help myself when I saw you."

The scumbag looked as if it was a matter of course.

As he spoke, he picked up a document that was wet with an unknown liquid from the table and teased with a gangster smile.

"I originally wanted to learn about the progress of Fuji TV's acquisition, but now I don't even have the information. They say women are made of water, and it seems that this saying is correct in the case of Miss Naito."

Swish!
As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the documents in his hand were snatched away by Naito Haruko.

The next moment, the rest of the wet documents on the desk were all collected by the blushing Naito Haruko.

Then, Naito Haruko looked at Hanyu Hideki angrily, "You bullied me again!"

But when Hanyu Hideki looked at the other person's cute and tender face that looked like a middle school student, he couldn't feel any anger at all.

Moreover, the delicate tone she used when she spoke did not sound like she was angry, but more like she was acting coquettishly.

Therefore, the scumbag pulled the other into his arms without any hesitation, and after ruthlessly ravaging her, he said nonchalantly, "I am just bullying you, Miss Naito, what can you do to me?"

Naito Haruko was so angry at Hanyu Hideki's words that she bit her teeth lightly, and her face looked aggrieved as if she was about to cry. After thinking for a while, she finally uttered something.

"Don't call me Miss Naito anymore, call me Haruko!"

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands, "Okay, Ms. Naito."

Naito Haruko continued to huff, "It's... Haruko!"

Hanyu Hideki shrugged, "No problem, Ms. Naito."

"I said it all..."

Seeing that Naito Haruko was about to explode, Hanyu Hideki decisively hugged the girl and gave her a deep kiss to interrupt, and then spoke in a serious manner.

"Just kidding, Haruko."

Naito Haruko put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph!"

"Don't you find that you are cute when you are angry? Just like an elementary school student." After Hanyu Hideki said this, Naito Haruko became inexplicably nervous. She seemed to remember that many of the women around Hanyu Hideki were bright, generous, mature and charming.

Although she has already graduated from college, she still looks like a child if you only look at her face.

In her opinion, this meant that she was not mature enough and lacked a convincing temperament. No matter how much she changed her clothes and makeup, it was useless, which made her feel very distressed.

So she tentatively asked, "Hanyu-san, do you also think I'm not mature enough?"

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he immediately said in an exaggerated tone, "How could that be? I just like your type."

As he spoke, he deliberately leaned close to Naito Haruko's ear and whispered, "Next time when we are happy, you can actually call me in a different way, such as..."

The moment Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Naito Haruko's originally cute face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire.

The little fist hit the scumbag's chest directly, "You are really...really..."

After saying it several times, she was too embarrassed to say the last adjective.

But when the scumbag asked, "Haruko, won't you agree to me?"

Naito Haruko lowered her head and said in a whisper, "I agree."

However, when Naito Haruko raised her head again, she found that Hanyu Hideki was already sitting on the sofa not far away.

Seeing her looking over, Hanyu Hideki said, "Next, Haruko, it's time to talk to me about business. How is the acquisition of Fuji TV going?"

Upon hearing this, Naito Haruko put aside her shyness, sat down next to Hanyu Hideki and talked about her recent achievements.

In fact, Naito Haruko's acquisition of Fuji TV's parent company, Neon Broadcasting System, was not complicated.

But although it is simple, it is not straightforward. It does not directly take advantage of the stock market decline to launch a hostile takeover.

Haruko Naito designed a very simple but most likely to succeed method.

The acquisition "cluster" formed under the guidance of Haruko Naito began to separate a part of its shares and took action to launch a hostile takeover of Neon Broadcasting by taking advantage of the bursting of the bubble economy.

At the same time, Naito Haruko will formally contact Neon Broadcasting and express her desire to invest in Neon Broadcasting. To put it bluntly, she is also trying to take advantage of the stock market crash to acquire the company, but she is doing it in an open and aboveboard manner.

In today's crisis situation where everyone is protecting themselves, the latter will undoubtedly gain greater favor from Neon Broadcasting.

Regardless of how Naito Haruko contacts and operates, the key is to transform herself from an acquirer into a white knight who resists the acquisition and directly infiltrates Neon Broadcasting.

In fact, Hideki Hanyu is no stranger to such operations.

In the previous life's Livedoor incident, Livedoor also played this trick. Even though Fuji TV already had cross-holdings, it still launched a hostile takeover, intending to take over Neon Broadcasting with internal and external cooperation.

If it weren't for the financial fraud and involvement of foreign capital, Fuji TV would have really changed hands.

Fuji TV's initial choice was not difficult to understand in Japan.

Because for mature large-scale Japanese companies, dispersed equity is not a big problem, and management's control over the company does not rely solely on majority shareholding.

According to Haruko Naito's report, the first step of the plan is progressing very smoothly.

But because of Hideki Hanyu's suggestion, they were not in a hurry regarding the plan for Neon Broadcasting, and were prepared to drag out the battle line and grind it out bit by bit.

Because Hideki Hanyu knew that the disaster caused by the collapse of the Japanese bubble economy was just the beginning.

And Haruko Naito is also willing to trust Hideki Hanyu's judgment.

Of course, where there is a first step there is a second step.

As the hostile takeover intensifies, Naito Haruko, the white knight, will then say that the hostile takeover is too powerful and she is unable to resist, and she must introduce new help.

At that time, it was Hideki Hanyu's turn to appear after he had finished his own work.

As long as he is allowed to infiltrate Neon Broadcasting, the three forces will then merge and wait for the economic crisis caused by the bursting of the bubble to reach its peak. It will be difficult for Neon Broadcasting not to change its owner.

Of course, where there are plans, there are changes.

In order to avoid problems along the way, Haruko Naito also designed several other plans.

In short, the Japanese are preparing for the attack but are not preparing for it. The Japanese are making plans without realizing it, and they are preparing to attack the unprepared. Japan is making its plans in the open, while these coveters are hiding in the dark. The chances of success are still very high.

Even if there is something irreversible going wrong with the plan.

That's okay too.

At worst, Hideki Hanyu can take off his mask and cooperate with Haruko Naito to overturn the table and force himself on her.

According to the trend of Neon economy for a long time to come, Neon Broadcasting is basically a lamb to be slaughtered. It has no power and cannot find helpers to resist the joint oppression of Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito.

If he had not resisted and had cooperated with Naito Haruko's acquisition plan, he could at least have died comfortably, and it would have also saved Naito Haruko and Hanyu Hideki some trouble and money.

But if you want to struggle without knowing the consequences, don't blame Hideki Hanyu for being indiscriminate. After all, what Hideki Hanyu lacks the least now is sufficient cash flow.

Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito talked for a long time about the matter regarding Neon Broadcasting.

After Hanyu Hideki gave many suggestions based on the actual situation, he suddenly changed the topic and talked about other things.

Hanyu Hideki said in a rare serious tone, "Haruko, I want to ask you something."

Seeing Hanyu Hideki's attitude, Naito Haruko also answered seriously, "What is it? Hanyu-san, please tell me."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Haruko, can you help me analyze the details and structure of the current Neon General Trading Company?"

Although Naito Haruko is very obedient to Hanyu Hideki, she is indeed a very talented woman.

Otherwise, he would not have been so highly regarded by his father's and mother's families, and would not have been involved in the management of the family business at such a young age.

It is even more impossible for her to win over a large number of forces and funds in a short period of time and start taking action against Neon Broadcasting, Fuji Sankei Group, and Fuji TV according to her command.

Therefore, when Hideki Hanyu asked her questions about the general trading company, Naito Haruko quickly guessed what Hanyu Hideki was thinking.

Hideki Hanyu may want to get involved in the field of general trading companies, which is what the Japanese call "commercial business".

On the surface, Japan's comprehensive trading companies, such as Itochu Corporation where his father's family is located and Marubeni Corporation where his mother's family is located, are all foreign trade companies engaged in import and export trade and have a certain monopoly position in Japan.

But if you look closely, you will find that the trading categories of these comprehensive trading companies are not only very wide, but also involve oil and gas, electricity, raw materials, fiber, metals, coal, iron ore, energy and chemicals, infrastructure, automobiles, food, etc.

Even pure capital business investments are made to ensure long-term income and business expansion.

For the sake of their own trade stability, they will even directly participate in the investment, development and transportation of overseas oil, natural gas and mineral resources.

This is why these "commercial companies" are called comprehensive trading companies.

As Hideki Hanyu's career has developed to date, the product trading categories of his companies have also covered many areas, including oil and gas, chemicals, electricity, minerals, coal, raw materials, semiconductors, food, medicine, electronic products, automobiles, toys, clothing, cosmetics, audio-visual products, logistics and transportation...

With such a wide range of import and export products, Hanyu Hideki's business has indeed grown to the point where he needs a dedicated general trading company to help him run and manage everything.

In a place like Neon, developing a company from scratch is undoubtedly a very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly task with half the effort and twice the results.

After all, the power of tradition is deeply rooted in Japan. There are no special channels in some areas, and rushing in rashly will only lead to failure.

Therefore, it is actually the most convenient approach to enter a certain field directly in one step through cooperation, investment, or simply acquisition.

This is also the Neon Group’s favorite way of expansion, and the reason why they have developed into the current group where the connections are not close but they stick together.

Today, the bubble of Japan's financial market has been burst and the economy is in turmoil. It is indeed a very good time for Hideki Hanyu to enter the field of general trading companies.

After thinking it all through, Naito Haruko began to organize her thoughts in her mind.

She was born into Itochu Corporation, and her mother's family is from Marubeni Corporation. She was influenced by it since childhood, and when she grew up, she helped the family deal with business issues many times.

Therefore, Haruko Naito is quite clear about the current situation of Neon General Trading Company.

After thinking it over, Naito Haruko took out a piece of white paper and wrote on it while introducing it to Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Hanyu, there are currently nine companies in Japan that can be called comprehensive trading companies.

They are Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, Itochu Corporation, Marubeni Corporation, Iwai Corporation, Tomen Corporation, Nichimen Corporation, and Kanematsu Corporation.

Hanyu-san has worked with the five major general trading companies mentioned above. I will introduce them in detail later.

I will start with the weakest Kanematsu Trading Company. To some extent, Kanematsu Trading Company also originated from the Omi-faction merchants. They..."

Next, Naito Haruko introduced the situation of Neon General Trading Company to Hanyu Hideki.

It provides a detailed introduction to the strengths and weaknesses of each company, their background, current business situation, and even analyzes their future development.

Hideki Hanyu listened attentively and focused.

Actually, Hideki Hanyu also knew about the nine major general trading companies in Japan that Haruko Naito mentioned.

He even knew the future development of these nine major trading companies.

For example, Kanematsu Shoji, which was described as the weakest by Haruko Naito, was downgraded and kicked out of the ranks of general trading companies in the 1990s due to poor management, and was eventually acquired by the Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank Group.

Due to operational problems, Tomen Shoji was eventually acquired by Toyota and became Toyota Tsusho, the second-to-last of the seven major comprehensive trading companies in Japan.

There were also the Nissho Iwai Shoji and the Nichimen Shoji, which could not survive Japan's economic decline in the 1990s and eventually had to choose to merge, becoming the "Sojitz Shoji", the weakest of Japan's seven major comprehensive trading companies.

However, as a time traveler, Hanyu Hideki, although he knew the ending of these general trading companies, he did not understand their actual situation now.

Moreover, when he traveled through time, due to the development of technology and the times, as well as the long-term downturn of the Neon economy, the business myth of Neon General Trading Company had long been shattered.

Sojitz Corporation, which ranks last, has an annual profit of only a pitiful 36 billion yen.

So Hideki Hanyu was even more lazy to pay attention to their detailed information.

That's why he now needs an expert like Haruko Naito to help him understand and analyze the current situation of Neon General Trading Company.

Of course, if he knew what Haruko Naito was thinking about him.

I will definitely say that you guessed right, but you also guessed wrong.

The reason why he was interested in general trading companies was that he really wanted to enter this field.

But the reason is that in addition to the complex and wide categories involved in his industrial development in Neon, as well as the large number of goods, it has reached the point where a comprehensive trading company has to provide assistance.

In fact, the bigger purpose is to provide him with investment services in the country.

After all, in this time and space, no one knows better than him how brilliant the domestic economy will achieve in the future, how terrifying the industrial production capacity will be, and how exaggerated the trade share in the world will be.

In this day and age, Itochu Corporation can only be ranked in the middle.

It was precisely because of its determination to invest in the development of the domestic market that it directly helped it to become the top comprehensive trading company in Japan in the future.

If Itochu Corporation dares to gamble, Hanyu Hideki, a time traveler, will only gamble bigger.

Therefore, before the new Internet trade develops, he must have a comprehensive trading company that can assist him in Japanese, domestic, and international trade.

At this moment, the neon economy, which is being devastated by the bursting of the bubble, is his best opportunity to enter the market.

Kanematsu Shoji is now in poor business condition and was downgraded in the future.

And Tomen Shoji, which will be acquired by Toyota in the future.

There is also Nissho Iwai Shoji, which had the most helpless choice of merger.

According to Haruko Naito's introduction, they are all very suitable targets for him to annex.

In his opinion, seven major businesses would be too many for Japan in the future, and five major businesses would be a bit too few.

Why not let him integrate them and form six major businesses?

Therefore, when Naito Haruko helped him analyze the situation to the end, she asked, "Hanyu-san, if you really want to enter the field of general trading companies, I think Kanematsu, Tomen, Nichimen, and Nissho Iwai are all good targets.

Although their current business situation is not very good, with the help of your company, I believe there will be no problem in reviving the business. "

But Hideki Hanyu’s answer was.

"Only children make choices. I'm an adult and I want them all!"
