Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 795: Eating melons and eating their own company
"Thank you Ms. Naito... Oh, I almost forgot, it was Haruko who helped."

This is what Hideki Hanyu said to Haruko Naito before leaving her office.

However, the beauty with a baby face and big breasts had her clothes in disarray, revealing her beauty. She was breathing heavily while exhausted and collapsed on the sofa, her whole body limp.

Obviously, just now she was giving advice to Hanyu Hideki on how to take advantage of the current crisis of the Japanese economy to swallow up the four general trading companies that Hanyu Hideki had targeted.

It was obvious that the two of them not only talked about business, but one of them couldn't help but have a rematch.

As for the result, it was basically the same as the previous battle.

In fact, Naito Haruko's performance was even worse than in the first battle.

In Hideki Hanyu's opinion, even Yasuko Sawaguchi, the weakest of all his women who likes to scream and shout when she is happy, is much stronger than Haruko Naito.

But even though she was so tired, when Hanyu Hideki deliberately called the other party Miss Naito, the girl's childish face still bared her teeth in pretending to be angry, as if she was about to pounce.

Fortunately, the scumbag changed his words in time, and Naito Haruko did not get angry.

However, before leaving, the scumbag did not forget to deliberately mock the young lady.

"Haruko, you are really the worst performer among my women, so for our happiness, please exercise well."

The scumbag smiled wickedly, turned around, closed the door and left the office.

In the office where only one person was left, the girl's unconvinced voice was immediately heard.

"I'm not that bad. It's because you're a monster!"

But despite saying that, Haruko Naito still contacted her assistant with a blushing face.

"How long has it been since I had tennis lessons?"

The assistant replied, "Since the young lady started working on her current project, she has not attended classes for more than half a year."

Naito Haruko, "Then help me make another appointment for tennis lessons starting tomorrow."

The assistant responded, “Yes, miss.”

Naito Haruko added, "Contact another physical education teacher, it must be a woman, otherwise that domineering guy will definitely be angry."

……

At the same time, Hideki Hanyu, who had already left the office building, received the latest news from the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

The attack on the person under investigation was a direct challenge to the dignity of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department.

Coupled with the pressure from multiple internal forces and the anger from the American side, the investigation by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department was quite swift.

Don’t think that Japan’s official organizational capabilities cannot be compared with those in China.

But it is a state machine after all, and it does have certain strength if it really gets serious.

Although the attacker was not caught red-handed in yesterday's incident.

However, after several hours of investigation, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division and related departments were able to find some clues and identify the approximate target.

As long as we follow these clues, I believe we will be able to find out the truth behind the attack soon.

Moreover, according to the preliminary investigation results of the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, this attack was only aimed at the Honma gang under investigation, and the risk of other people being attacked has basically been resolved.

But even so, Hideki Hanyu has no intention of letting down his guard.

Although the women who have arrived in Sendai City no longer need to be transferred overseas, it is better for them to stay in his base camp for the time being until the investigation of the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office is fully resolved.

Tokyo is prosperous, but it is also a mixed bag. The forces inside and outside Japan are mixed up in a mess, and Hideki Hanyu does not want to take any risks.

Moreover, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department sounds intimidating, but its actual capabilities are just so-so, especially when it comes to keeping confidentiality, to the point of being poor.

What happened yesterday happened, but only one night later, someone had already leaked the news to the media.

No one wants to alert the enemy, but Hanyu Hideki estimates that this matter cannot be concealed for too long, and it may be exposed tonight.

So he simply contacted Yunshang Satellite TV and asked Gang Haoyi to arrange a production team to produce a special program about this matter.

Since it's impossible to keep it secret, it's better to make a big deal out of it.

In this situation, those who are planning will be afraid to take action.

It is possible that some participants will voluntarily come forward and surrender themselves because they cannot bear the external pressure.

After finishing these things, Hanyu Hideki did not immediately take the bus to leave the central area. Instead, he changed his clothes in the car, covered his white hair with a woolen hat, and said to Marco.

"Don't rush back, stay here with me and continue to look around."

Marco replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he followed Hanyu Hideki silently.

The central area at this time, especially the Neon Bridge in the central area where Hideki Hanyu is located.

Because it is home to the Japanese Central Bank, the Japanese Tokyo Stock Exchange, and a large number of securities and financial companies, it is also known as Japan's Wall Street. It is the veritable financial center of Japan.

When the neon financial bubble burst and began to brew a crisis that affected the entire economic system, this place was undoubtedly the core area of ​​the storm.

Some people who lost everything at the beginning of the storm had no way out and committed suicide out of despair.

But it is not ruled out that these people want to do crazy things to others because they are really depressed.

Although the probability is small, as long as there is a chance, Marco must be responsible for Hideki Hanyu's safety.

Hideki Hanyu strolled on the Neon Bridge in the morning and felt that this place is not only called the Wall Street of Tokyo, but even its architectural style is somewhat similar to that of Wall Street.

When he arrived at what would become the most prosperous CBD area of ​​Neon Bridge, looking at the people hurrying along the street, he felt that after the financial collapse spread to the real estate industry, he could buy some real estate here and in Otemachi, which was not far away.

In addition to self-use, the properties in these areas were definitely the best CBD areas in Tokyo later, and were places that major companies liked to settle in.

Why wouldn't he make the money that is easy to earn?

Although Hanyu Real Estate has cashed out a lot of real estate and land, it still holds a lot of assets and also employs a large number of employees.

Hideki Hanyu's company's welfare benefits have always been good, but we can't let these guys eat for free. We have to find something for them to do, right?
After all, the current stock market collapse is just the beginning of the bursting of the bubble economy.

The ones who are unlucky nowadays are only those working in the financial industry or those who invest in the stock market.

Many ordinary people in Japan have not yet personally felt the arrival of the crisis, and do not know what kind of disaster they will encounter next.

However, it won't be long before the financial market collapses completely and deflation begins to spread to Japan's banks and large, medium and small enterprises.

By that time, businesses will go bankrupt, companies will be merged, employees will be demoted, wages will be sharply reduced, and ordinary people will not be able to pay their mortgages or their children's tuition. It will become difficult to even make ends meet.

During the bubble economy, ordinary people in Japan who are accustomed to high consumption, advance consumption, and high-interest loans will fall into despair in the upcoming economic winter.

The bankruptcy of a large number of ordinary families in Japan will in turn have a negative impact on enterprises and banks, and banks and small and medium-sized enterprises will begin to collapse on a large scale.

That was the real climax of the bubble economy bursting.

However, for ordinary people in Japan, this cycle is still relatively long.

It's so long that many people can't make it to the end and die in the process of being boiled like a frog in warm water.

Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the future development after the bubble burst, but he was strolling in the Neon Bridge area.

He had no particular purpose, he just wanted to see with his own eyes what the real Japanese society was like in the early days of the bubble bursting.

Whether it was because of the difference in time and space, or because of the influence of this big butterfly, Neon's century-long disaster broke out ahead of schedule.

So when dealing with this disaster, he felt that he was just standing on a high place overlooking the entire Japanese society and could not accurately grasp the changes in the situation.

Walking down the street and seeing the real world with his own eyes might help him complete all his plans better. However, after walking around, when he was about to walk back to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, he did not see any extreme suicide cases as Haruko Naito said.

Most of the people were just some unlucky guys who were laid off by securities and financial companies, standing on the streets and roaring in anger.

From this we can see that although the situation was bad at the beginning, even the financial markets at the center of the disaster were not as serious as imagined.

Or perhaps, due to the inertia of Japan's economic development in the past few decades, most financial practitioners still think that this is a temporary stock market crash.

In addition, many companies and practitioners are already in the process of, or waiting for, a suitable opportunity to buy at the bottom.

In this regard, Hideki Hanyu can only say that these guys are overthinking it.

Buying the dip?

All those who bought the bottom during this long-lasting financial disaster either bought halfway up the mountain, or found out after buying the bottom that they had indeed succeeded in buying the bottom, but there was no rebound for a long time.

Seeing that he had seen most of the outside world, Hideki Hanyu decided to go into the stock exchange to take a look.

But at this moment, he saw a noisy group of people surrounding an office building in front of him.

Looking closely, some of them were rushing into the office building while shouting something, and their expressions looked quite angry.

What’s special is that there are even media reporters around these people, some of them are taking photos, while others are carrying cameras and shooting inside.

Hanyu Hideki took a closer look and saw that the eye-catching logo on the work clothes of one group of reporters carrying cameras was exactly that of Yunshang Satellite TV.

Curious about what happened, Hideki Hanyu immediately arranged for a bodyguard to find out.

Soon, a young female reporter with a Yunshang Satellite TV work ID card hanging on her chest was brought in front of Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu took off the mask on his face and looked at the female reporter.

The other party immediately exclaimed, "It's really the president..."

But as soon as the words came out, the female reporter immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth and did not continue speaking.

"Don't make a fuss. I called you here to ask you what happened over there."

Hanyu Hideki pointed to the place where the noise was coming from.

The female reporter calmed down and answered in a low voice, "An investment company had problems, causing their clients to suffer huge losses. A violent conflict broke out with the investment company, and even official people were brought in.

According to the information we received, there are quite a few celebrities in the entertainment industry among the clients involved in the conflict, which is why we and other media came to report on it."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Ordinary stars can't attract so many media, right?"

The female reporter nodded. "According to the informant, he saw several celebrities enter the room before, including Sayuri Yoshinaga."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Sayuri Yoshinaga? It makes sense if it's her."

Although for Hideki Hanyu now, no matter how popular a star is, it means nothing.

But for ordinary Japanese people and Japanese media, those top popular artists still have status and mystery, and are extremely valuable in public opinion.

Sayuri Yoshinaga is undoubtedly one of the top artists in Japan's entertainment industry today.

Earlier this year, she won the Best Actress Award at the Neon Film Academy Awards for the second time for her performances in "Hana no Rebellion" and "Crane".

If there was a problem with this investment, it would indeed be worthy of extensive media coverage.

When the neon bubble burst, ordinary people suffered severe losses, and celebrities were naturally no exception. Many celebrities who had worked hard to build up their net worth lost their fortunes in this economic disaster, and some even owed huge debts.

However, most of the artists who were affected suffered losses due to their large investments in real estate when the real estate bubble collapsed.

In another time and space, Abe Hiroshi lost all his assets and was in debt due to a failed real estate investment. He worked for more than ten years before paying off all his debts.

Just as Hanyu Hideki was thinking of Abe Hiroshi, the current artist of Yunshang Entertainment, the female reporter in front of him spoke hesitantly.

"In fact, in addition to Sayuri Yoshinaga, the whistleblower also saw someone who was related to Yunshang Entertainment."

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself what a coincidence, everything he wished for came true.

Although he didn't care whether his artists would be affected by the bursting of the bubble, he still asked out of curiosity.

"Is he a signed artist of Yunshang Entertainment?"

The female reporter shook her head, "It's not the artist, it's the artist's family member.

It was Ayumi Hamasaki’s mother, Ms. Mariko Hamasaki.”

"she?"

Hanyu Hideki searched his memory before he remembered who the female reporter was talking about.

The young mother who once brought Ayumi Hamasaki to visit Yunshang Entertainment and acted like a fangirl when facing him.

Although the other party left a deep impression on him at the time, Hanyu Hideki has not paid any attention to the other party's news after signing the contract.

Even Ayumi Hamasaki himself, Hideki Hanyu, only knew that after filming the TV series and theatrical version of "Falling Rabbit (White Rabbit Candy)" adapted from his work, the little girl directly became one of the most popular child stars in Japan.

As for the recent developments, he is actually not very clear.

Anyway, Ayumi Hamasaki is too young and her era as a diva has not yet arrived.

Apart from training them step by step, there is no need to rush in other aspects.

At this moment, the female reporter opened her mouth to explain.

"Hamazaki's mother has always been very good at promoting herself. Not only did she write an autobiography attributing all of Hamasaki's success to herself, but in recent years she has even established herself as a stock investment expert. Not only does she invest in stocks herself, she also leads many adult fans influenced by Hamasaki to invest."

Although the female reporter only said this, Hanyu Hideki had already helplessly put his hand on his forehead.

Obviously, the investment company in the office building not far away went bankrupt due to the stock market crash, not to mention how other star clients suffered losses.

At least Ayumi Hamasaki's mother definitely not only lost money herself, but it is very likely that she used her daughter's influence to drag many adult fans into losses as well.

Now that the bubble economy has begun to collapse, this matter could be a big deal or a small one, and if things go wrong it could implicate Ayumi Hamasaki.

Thinking that this was the popular singer he had reserved for Yunshang Entertainment in advance, and her reputation would be damaged because of this incident, Hanyu Hideki felt overwhelmed.

He really didn't expect that during this rare "incognito visit", he would end up getting into trouble with his own company.

"President, the official in charge at this time has agreed to arrange for the media to come in for interviews at any time, so I have to go back to work."

The female reporter made the request.

Hanyu Hideki's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Prepare a work permit for me, and I'll go in with you later."

The female reporter was still confused and didn't know what her president was trying to do.

Hanyu Hideki turned to Marco and told him, "Call the president of Yunshang Entertainment, Iijima Michi, and tell her what happened here."

"Yes."

Just as Marco was making the phone call as instructed.

The official personnel in charge of this incident had just begun to notify the media that could come in for interviews, and Yunshang Satellite TV was among them.

Hideki Hanyu followed the female reporter back, casually hung a staff badge around his neck, and then followed the female reporter and cameraman into the building.

And when he mingled with a crowd of media and arrived at the floor where the investment company that had gone bankrupt was located, he saw the group of people inside and suddenly felt interesting and sighed in his heart.

“There are quite a few familiar faces.”
