Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 799: Returning a Favor

"President Hanyu, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

In the living room of Seya Jinen, Hanyu Hideki, who had changed into formal clothes, met Hatoyama Yutaro and the people who came with him.

As soon as they met, the man greeted Hanyu Hideki very politely.

Hanyu Hideki gave the other person a playful look and replied in a false tone, "I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Ishihara Shintaro."

That’s right, the person brought by Yutaro Hatoyama today was none other than Shintaro Ishihara, who co-authored “Neon Can Say No” with Akio Morita.

A representative figure among the Japanese right-wing conservatives.

People in China may not be familiar with this person, but I believe many people have heard of the "island buying" farce he set off in the future.

In the 1990s, as right-wing conservatives gradually gained ground in Japan, he was elected governor of Tokyo in the late 1990s and was re-elected for three terms.

However, when Hideki Hanyu traveled through time, the old guy had already died.

But even so, Hideki Hanyu doesn't have a good impression of this guy from the bottom of his heart.

The main reason, of course, is that this guy’s actions made Hanyu Hideki, who has the soul of China in his body, unhappy.

Furthermore, it is because this person has no talent at all and can only use extremist rhetoric to engage in populism. He does not like dealing with stupid and bad people.

After talking to Shintaro Ishihara, Hideki Hanyu turned around and greeted Yutaro Hatoyama, then invited the two to sit down and asked the maid to serve drinks and snacks.

Although he dislikes Ishihara Shintaro in his heart, they are all well-known figures after all. In addition, the other party is brought by Hatoyama Yutaro, so of course Hanyu Hideki will deal with it for the sake of face.

After sitting down, they exchanged simple pleasantries.

Because Shintaro Ishihara was nearby, Hanyu Hideki was not in a position to talk about serious matters with Hatoyama Yutaro.

Fortunately, after a few polite words, Shintaro Ishihara was the first to lose his temper.

He asked tentatively, "I heard that President Hanyu lost his temper at the entrance of Shogakukan yesterday."

"loose the temper?"

Hanyu Hideki raised his eyelids and pretended to be confused.

Of course he knew what Ishihara Shintaro was asking. The remarks he made during an interview at Shogakukan yesterday were announced by the media that afternoon, and immediately caused an uproar.

But when the time came to this morning, although the relevant news was still widely reported and hotly discussed, compared with yesterday's chaos, today's comments on his interview reports have suddenly become consistent in style.

Perhaps it was because some people criticized Hanyu Hideki before, saying that such words were not in line with the identity of a public figure, and would also have a bad influence on the public and his book fans.

But by this morning, mainstream public opinion had turned into sympathy and praise for him.

Media critics, news writers and editors all acted as the conscience of society and collectively criticized the protest against Hanyu Hideki by spreading groundless rumors, saying that public figures also have the right to privacy.

Many media outlets also said that these people must have been instructed to deliberately discredit Hanyu Hideki, the "light of Japan", "national conscience", and "contemporary literary giant"...

Subtly, the media are pointing the finger at the right-wing conservative forces that are now losing power.

It can be seen that this is exactly what happened after Hideki Hanyu discussed with Masahiro Aiga and Asako Hirohashi, and the public relations and control methods targeting the media began to take effect.

The fact that Hanyu Hideki was able to control the direction of public opinion so smoothly proves that those who targeted him have very limited power in the media field.

So it is very normal that Shintaro Ishihara is so eager to find Hideki Hanyu.

However, Hanyu Hideki pretended not to know, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said with sudden realization, "Ishihara-san was talking about what I said outside Shogakukan yesterday."

Ishihara Shintaro nodded, "That's right."

Hanyu Hideki then laughed, "Haha! I don't take those guys who are not presentable to me seriously at all, and I won't lose my temper because of them."

“That’s good, but I seemed to have heard before I came that the protesters had decided to cancel the protest after what happened yesterday.”

Shintaro Ishihara announced the news as if he was showing goodwill.

But Hanyu Hideki said without giving any face, "It doesn't matter, I don't care, they can protest as long as they like."

Shintaro Ishihara looked embarrassed, but he still tried to test it out, "It seems that the reason they stopped the protest is because their organizer died in a drunk driving accident this morning."

"That's really good news." Hanyu Hideki said sarcastically.

Ishihara Shintaro quickly asked, "Does Mr. Hanyu Hideki hate him?"

Hanyu Hideki looked at Ishihara Shintaro strangely and said, "I don't even know him, why should I hate him? I just simply hate people who drive under the influence. Not only do they not value their own lives, they also completely ignore the safety of others."

Shintaro Ishihara never expected Hanyu Hideki to say this, and he was stunned for a moment.

He originally wanted to use the test to make Hanyu Hideki reveal some of his inner emotions or other flaws, which would facilitate communication for him, allow him to express his apologies, and ultimately ease the relationship between the two sides.

After all, Hideki Hanyu was too swift, ruthless and decisive in his actions this time.

On the one hand, they use the media to guide public opinion to attack them.

On the other hand, there is the deceased president of the public relations company.

Although Shintaro Ishihara has no evidence to prove that these two incidents have anything to do with Hideki Hanyu.

The former is better. After all, there are not many people with such influence in the Japanese media industry, and Hideki Hanyu is definitely one of them.

But the latter did it so perfectly, so perfectly that they could only speculate and infer that this matter might be related to Hideki Hanyu.

And it is this kind of perfection that makes many people feel frightened.

It finally made them remember what kind of existence they were provoking before.

Now, Hanyu Hideki only exerted a little force, seemingly just a warning, but it made them completely unable to resist.

After all, the so-called right-wing conservatives seem to be widely distributed and have a large number of members, but in fact their alliance is very loose.

It's okay for everyone to shout slogans in order to gain benefits and political qualifications, but when facing a powerful enemy, they are simply a group of scattered sand.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he has built a force with the power of capital, which not only has a strong influence locally, but is also more united than them at the top.

The latter would be defeated at the first blow if they made a slight move. Not to mention turning back to fight back against Hanyu Hideki, they all wanted to throw their teammates out as shields so that Hanyu Hideki could vent his anger.

And this is why Shintaro Ishihara appears here.

No one wants to be unlucky, and no one wants to fight with Hideki Hanyu.

I just want to ask, now that Hanyu Hideki has vented his anger, can he be magnanimous and stop right now, not letting them worry anymore, and everyone can continue to keep to themselves in the future.

But who would have thought that after Shintaro Ishihara tried several times, Hideki Hanyu did not express his attitude.

There was no other way, Shintaro Ishihara could only turn his attention to Yutaro Hatoyama.

After all, before coming here, many people had used their connections to ask Yutaro Hatoyama's family for help, hoping that with the help of his relationship with Hideki Hanyu, they could act as middlemen and peacemakers for them.

Feeling Ishihara Shintaro's gaze, Hatoyama Yutaro sighed helplessly.

Then he said to Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-san, can we talk alone?"

Hanyu Hideki glanced coldly at Ishihara Shintaro, causing him to shudder. Then he nodded to Hatoyama Yutaro and said, "Okay, let's go to the second floor to talk."

Then, the two of them walked into the study on the second floor together.

As soon as they sat down, Hatoyama Yutaro asked directly, "Has Hanyu-san calmed down?"

Hanyu Hideki asked with a "simple" expression, "Calm down? I don't understand what Yuutarou-san is talking about."

Yutaro Hatoyama knew that Hanyu Hideki would not admit certain things, but he still spoke to himself, "Hanyu-san, they have had a hard time recently, and because of your warning, they are a little scared."

Hideki Hanyu had a calm expression and said nothing.

Even though Yutaro Hatoyama has a close relationship with him, he will never say anything on his own initiative. After all, any relationship cannot stand the test.

If you want to maintain a long-term and stable relationship with your allies, in addition to complementing each other's interests, you must never give your allies any chance to betray you.

However, Yutaro Hatoyama did not expect Hanyu Hideki to answer, and continued to speak to himself, "Some of them are old friends of my family elders, and this time they asked us to be the middleman, and my brother and I couldn't refuse.

They seem to be a large group of people, but they are just complicated and are constantly fighting for different ideas. In fact, many of them have nothing to do with Hanyu-san's affairs.

The dispute between Hanyu-san and them is just a dispute of personal feelings. There is absolutely no need for you to become enemies with them all just for a small group of people.

I know that Hanyu-san wants to do big things, and some of them can actually be used by Hanyu-san.

After all, Hanyu-san's thunderous means this time made many of them feel scared, but also awe for the strong. "

After Yutaro Hatoyama finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu remained silent, but his expression seemed to be lost in thought.

After a while, Hanyu Hideki looked up at Hatoyama Yuutarou. "Yuutarou-san, you or your family must return a favor to me."

Upon hearing this, Yutaro Hatoyama knew that Hideki Hanyu was giving face to him as the middleman, and his face immediately showed joy.

After all, being able to act as a middleman and mediate the conflict between a figure like Hanyu Hideki and a force also represents a "merit" for him, indirectly raising his status in the upper echelons.

So Yutaro Hatoyama quickly said, "No problem."

Hanyu Hideki stood up and said, "Then let's go downstairs and send them away first, and then we can discuss in detail how to repay my favor."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki and Hatoyama Yutaro returned to the living room on the first floor.

At this time, Shintaro Ishihara was already waiting with an anxious look on his face.

After seeing Hanyu Hideki and Hatoyama Yutaro coming back, he couldn't help but look at them with hope.

Then he saw Yutaro Hatoyama nodded slightly at him and gave him a look that said it was okay.

Shintaro Ishihara relaxed instantly, knowing that Yutaro Hatoyama should have reached an agreement.

The next moment, Hanyu Hideki spoke up, "Ishihara-san, I'm in a bit of trouble lately and would like to ask you for help. Is that possible?"

Hanyu Hideki's words were incoherent, but to Ishihara Shintaro, they meant that Hanyu Hideki wanted to reconcile.

He immediately nodded and said, "President Hanyu, please go ahead."

"The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division is currently investigating a bribery case, but has run into trouble for some reason. I hope that Ishihara-san and your friends can help as much as possible."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Ishihara Shintaro was immediately shocked.

In fact, not only Ishihara Shintaro, but even Hatoyama Yutaro next to him had a surprised expression.

They certainly knew that the bribery case reopened by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office was similar to the Recruit bribery case, but in fact it had no connection with the Recruit bribery case.

This is a case where the bribery method is similar, but the method is more sophisticated.

Moreover, this case not only involved the upper class, causing panic among the people, but also involved a large number of local forces in the Kansai region.

However, according to rumors, it seems that America took the initiative to put pressure on this case, which led to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department to initiate an investigation.

But now Hideki Hanyu asked Shintaro Ishihara to help with this case, which made the two of them come up with a bold guess.

Could it be that the person who is really pushing this matter behind the scenes is Hideki Hanyu?

If this is true, then they must re-examine Hideki Hanyu's current influence in America.

On the opposite side, Hanyu Hideki saw the changes in the two people's expressions and felt very satisfied.

In fact, to express reconciliation, he could have asked Shintaro Ishihara to do other things.

The reason why the current investigation of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department was brought up was to allow the two to have more associations.

After all, strength is like the sharp claws of a wild beast. You have to show it to everyone to see it so that it can have the desired deterrent effect.

All these people are not only enemies, but also allies.

"no problem."

After the shock, Shintaro Ishihara agreed immediately.

Hanyu Hideki gave a fake smile, "Then I'll wait for good news from Ishihara-san."

And at this point, his meeting with Shintaro Ishihara ended.

Next, Yutaro Hatoyama took the initiative to send Shintaro Ishihara away, and then returned again.

With no outsider present, Yutaro Hatoyama relaxed. He picked up the teacup with a smile and asked Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-san, how do you want me to repay you? Tell me."

Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly on his handsome face, and then said, "I want to join the Sumiyoshi Association."

puff--

The moment the words came out of his mouth, Yutaro Hatoyama couldn't help but spit out the tea he had just drunk.

After tidying up his appearance, Yutaro Hatoyama looked at Hideki Hanyu with strange eyes, as if he had just met him for the first time, and said in a surprised tone.

"That mad dog who is trying to usurp power in the Sumiyoshi Clan is actually Hanyu-san's man!"

Hanyu Hideki smiled and praised, "As expected of the family that rules the Japanese Yakuza, they are so well-informed about the Yakuza forces."

Yutaro Hatoyama smiled bitterly and said, "This is not the point."

Hanyu Hideki admitted, "Yes, Okoshi and Shi are my people."

Yutaro Hatoyama sighed, "I should have guessed it long ago."

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands, "So, what's Yuutarou-san's answer?"

Yutaro Hatoyama said helplessly, “I can’t help you directly in this matter, and it’s even more impossible for me to help Okoshi and Shi at this time, because my family’s status in the Yakuza is, to some extent, a referee, so I hope Hanyu-san can understand.”

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand and said, "I don't need Yuutarou-san's direct help. I have prepared all the conditions for Daikoshi and Shi to win. I just don't want other forces to destroy my plan before Daikoshi and Shi win."

"This..." Hatoyama Yutaro looked embarrassed.

Hanyu Hideki chuckled, “Haha, Yuutarou-san, what I meant by saying these words is not for Daikoshi and Shi, but for the sake of other forces, I am protecting them.

You know my character. I have been planning this for many years. Anyone who dares to destroy my plan will definitely face my most extreme revenge.

I will show absolutely no mercy to those gutter rats.

And Yuutarou-san knows very well that I have that ability."

Of course, Yutaro Hatoyama believed what Hideki Hanyu said.

Although Hanyu Hideki keeps his actions secret, Hatoyama Yutaro knows some of Hanyu Hideki's inside information because of his long-term relationship with Hanyu Hideki.

For example, the investor behind the most successful "Wanquan" security company in Asia is Hideki Hanyu.

This security company is by no means as simple as it seems. It has been colluding with the Japanese military by leveraging its former relationship with Tohoku Energy and the support of the Mitsui Group.

After all, Hideki Hanyu used capital to pave the way, and how many of Japan's greedy military leaders could resist the temptation?

It is said that the private armed forces that belong to Hideki Hanyu and have been trained with great expense, conduct actual combat training on battlefields in South America and Africa.

In ancient times, those people were the death warriors raised by Hideki Hanyu.

The so-called underworld forces are good at scaring ordinary people who have no power, money or influence, as well as official personnel in Japan.

Dare to provoke a super capitalist like Hideki Hanyu, the top powerful figure in Japan, a tycoon in the world media, and a big shot with influence in both the black and white worlds.

I'm afraid that the place will be directly wiped out by regular military-level firepower at night, and there won't be any news reports the next day.

In order to cover up the incident, the authorities even had to clean up the scene themselves.

Thinking of this, Yutaro Hatoyama felt that what Hideki Hanyu said made a lot of sense.

In order to prevent some ignorant guys from provoking people they cannot afford to offend without knowing anything, his family should indeed protect those guys and give them warnings in advance.

"I understand what Hanyu-san wants. I will arrange it as soon as I return to the clan."

"Thank you, Yuutarou-san."

Hideki Hanyu waved to the maid, who immediately came over holding an exquisite wooden box.

Hideki Hanyu stood up, took it, and pushed it in front of Yutaro Hatoyama.

"I heard that Mr. Hatoyama likes Chinese tea. This is Anhui Taiping Houkui tea given to me by my Chinese friend. I believe he will like it."

"You're too polite, Hanyu-san."

"There's no need to be polite between friends."

"Then I'll accept it on behalf of my clan brother."

"Take care, Yuutarou-san."

In the parking lot of Seyagu Zhenyuan, after Yutaro Hatoyama started his car, the polite smile on Hideki Hanyu's face instantly disappeared.

His beautiful eyes, looking at the receding vehicles, became deep, dark, and cold, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
