Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 800 Give Panasonic a Surprise

"Teacher, why are you standing here alone?"

A call awakened Hideki Hanyu from his silence.

Behind Hanyu Hideki, on the path leading to the parking lot, stood a petite figure wearing silk pajamas inside and a long windbreaker outside.

It was Minako Kitada who was brought back to Seya Jinen by Hanyu Hideki from Hirohashi Asako last night.

As the captain of the energetic girls, this girl, who always has a gentle smile on her face, has a delicate heart and is good at capturing the subtle emotions of others.

Therefore, when Hanyu Hideki was interrupted from thinking and turned his head.

Minako Honda saw the darkness and calmness in the man's eyes, a look without any emotion, and the loneliness made her heart chill.

But that look only existed for a moment before disappearing.

When Honda Minako was still trying to confirm, the look in Hanyu Hideki's eyes when he looked at her had already turned into the gentle spring breeze of the past.

This made Minako Honda feel inexplicably that the Hideki Hanyu she had just seen was just a momentary illusion.

But the next moment, when Hanyu Hideki took off his suit and wrapped her upper body, he said with concern, "The weather is so cold, Minako, you only wear these clothes, be careful not to catch a cold, go back to the house quickly."

Minako Honda looked at Hideki Hanyu's picturesque eyes and eyebrows, and instantly fell into the man's tenderness and care, no longer caring about what she had just seen.

She immediately dived into Hanyu Hideki's arms, put her arms around his waist, put her face against his body to feel his warmth and strength, and her tone unconsciously became coquettish.

"If you hug the teacher like this, you won't feel the cold."

"Aren't you going back?" asked Hideki Hanyu.

Honda Minako raised her head and looked at Hanyu Hideki with infatuated eyes, "If we go back, we will wake up Yoko and Yukiko."

After that, the girl stood on tiptoe and kissed Hanyu Hideki's Adam's apple gently, and said in an obsessed tone, "Let's stay outside for a while, just the two of us, okay?"

Hanyu Hideki heard Honda Minako's thoughts and smiled slightly, which made the girl's eyes more and more blurred. He said softly, "Okay, it's too cold here, let's go to the hot spring in the back."

"Yeah." Minako Honda nodded.

Next, the two of them walked along the courtyard path towards the hot spring.

While Hideki Hanyu was enjoying the gentleness of the beauty, things in the outside world were quietly changing.

While the media were still reporting on Hideki Hanyu's speech at Shogakukan, the protest at Shogakukan, which had lasted for more than a month, suddenly stopped.

While some people were still secretly planning whether they should take advantage of this incident to muddy the waters and cause more trouble for Hanyu Hideki.

That afternoon, the so-called "protest organization" that protested in front of Shogakukan publicly expressed its apologies to Hanyu Hideki.

They admitted that their protest against Hanyu Hideki was a mistake, a farce caused by misunderstanding, and while retracting their wrong evaluation of Hanyu Hideki, they also offered him a lot of flattery.

This apology not only frustrates many people's careful plans, but also makes the outside world feel a little surprised.

The right-wing elements who have always acted arrogantly and fearlessly have actually surrendered one day.

Sure enough, after Japan's glorious economy began to decline, all kinds of strange things could happen.

In Seyagu Zenen, while Hideki Hanyu was holding Yukiko Okada and Yoko Minamino in his arms and enjoying the fruit brought to them by Minako Honda, he saw this news on TV.

A mocking smile appeared in his eyes.

I wonder what era it is now. Can we still expect such a despicable organization formed for ambition and profit to have any noble beliefs? Can we expect any hard-headed people to die rather than surrender?

These people usually bully ordinary people, and shouting slogans that don't hurt or affect their own interests is fine.

When faced with truly powerful people and forces, they will collapse at the first touch.

With capital paving the way, coercion and inducement, a little killing of the chicken to scare the monkey will make these guys understand who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.

But...

This is just the beginning.
-
When the time came to December 21st.

early morning.

The three energetic girls bid farewell to Hideki Hanyu, left Seyaguchi Garden, and went to Shibuya to participate in a rehearsal for a year-end awards ceremony.

Although the security crisis has been basically resolved up to now, Hideki Hanyu still provided bodyguards for the three people.

Just as the three girls left, Hideki Hanyu received a call from Koichi Minato of Yunshang Satellite TV. After listening to the report and hanging up the phone, he immediately turned on the TV.

On the cloud satellite TV news channel, a special report has just begun.

The content of the report was exactly the bribery case launched by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office surrounding the Honma gang.

After persisting for many days, the investigation could no longer be covered up.

Cloud Satellite TV was the first to report that Hideki Hanyu had naturally informed all relevant parties.

Watching the news reports, the news anchor analyzed and explained each item of the investigation clearly.

Hanyu Hideki knew that the aftermath of the Recruit bribery case had started a new story.

And the facts are just as Hanyu Hideki thought.

As soon as the report from Yunshang Satellite TV came out, it immediately dropped a bombshell in the Japanese public opinion circle, instantly attracting the attention of all media and the public.

All of a sudden, the media followed up with reports.

Even the continued decline of the stock market, the apology from right-wing groups to Hideki Hanyu, and all other news were overwhelmed by the new bribery case.

The case was so large that it even surpassed the Recruit bribery case.

On the surface, the bribery case centered on the Honma group does not seem to involve a larger scope than the Recruit bribery case of Ezoe Hiromasa, nor does it involve as many people as the Recruit bribery case.

So why did this case cause such a stir?
Even though the bribery methods of Honma's gang are similar to those of Ezoe Hiromasa, they are actually more covert and sophisticated, but the total amount of bribes revealed now is less than that of Ezoe Hiromasa.

Considering all these factors, it seems that it shouldn't cause such a big response.

But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that Hiromasa Ezoe of the Recruit Group is just a late-rising businessman.

However, the Honma gang that was arrested was a real local power group that had been operating for hundreds of years and had deep roots and complex networks.

The former was involved in a bribery scandal, which represented the corruption of the upper echelons of Japan and caused the Japanese people to lose their trust in the government.

But the latter's scandal of bribery and collusion with upper echelons shows that Japan is rotten to the core from top to bottom.

If some things are not exposed, everyone can still close their eyes and pretend not to know.

But when all the dirty and despicable behaviors of these local powerful forces in Japan, such as how they colluded with each other in the local area, how they exchanged interests for their own selfish desires, how they abused their power by bribing the upper echelons, and so on, were exposed.

After being completely disappointed, the Japanese people became completely irrational and angry.

Especially now when the stock market has collapsed and the economic disaster has spread to all walks of life.

It was as if everyone had found a target to vent their anger, and they released all their stress and indignation towards the newly exposed case.

For a time, there was constant media criticism and public protests.

December 22nd, Friday.

The Japanese stock market continues to fall and there is still no sign of stopping.

The financial market is in mourning and the economic crisis continues to spread in Japan.

The newly exposed bribery case has also begun to uncover more information by the media following up.

On that day alone, seventeen local councillors were "invited" by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department to participate in the investigation.

Three core members of the Liberation Army Party and several senior officials were also "invited" by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

As the investigation of these people continues, the scope and number of people involved in this bribery case continue to expand.

The media also seemed to be frantically digging out all kinds of news as if the New Year had arrived early.

When the time came to December 23rd, Saturday.

Although the stock market was suspended, the financial market entered a short break.

However, in the newly-broken bribery case, the number of officials "invited" to the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office continues to increase.

In addition to official personnel, heads of several companies in the Kanto region were also arrested, many of which were involved in food, medical care, education, water and electricity, and other people's livelihood areas.

When these contents are reported by the media.

Hideki Hanyu, who had already left Seyaguchi Garden, was waiting for a guest at Yorozuya.

The president of Tohoku Energy, Shigemasa Nakano.

Although the other party came to Yorozuya alone, he brought a large work team with him when he came to Tokyo from Sendai.

When Nakano Shigemasa arrived at Yorozuya, the first snow of winter had just fallen in Tokyo, and the entire Yorozuya was covered in a thin layer of white. Under the pavilion in the back garden, Hanyu Hideki and Nakano Shigemasa sat opposite each other in front of the stove. The warmth of the stove took away the winter chill, and the steaming teapot emitted a wafting aroma of tea.

Nakano Shigemasa spoke to Hanyu Hideki in a respectful tone.

"President, the team I prepared for the Kanto Project has arrived in Tokyo with me. Please give me your instructions on when to start the operation."

Hanyu Hideki did not answer, but picked up the teapot on the stove and filled the teacups in front of him and Nakano Shigemasa.

At the same time he slowly spoke.

"Although the Chinese Yunnan Red Tea has a rich taste and aroma when boiled, it requires mastery of methods and techniques. The water temperature, time, and heat are all essential, otherwise the taste and aroma of the tea soup will be destroyed."

Listening to Hanyu Hideki's words, Nakano Shigemasa seemed to be thinking about something, but after Hanyu Hideki put down the teapot, he still respectfully picked up the teacup and said.

"Thank you, President."

After saying that, Nakano Shigemasa took a small sip and tasted it.

Then, he frowned barely noticeably.

“Hehe…” Hanyu Hideki smiled and shook his head, “Nakano-san, you’re anxious.”

"Sorry." Nakano Shigemasa put down his teacup and bowed his head to apologize.

"You can't be in a hurry to drink tea, and the same goes for doing things."

Hanyu Hideki said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip, "The heat is just right, it seems that I cooked it well."

Putting down the teacup, Hideki Hanyu looked up at Shigemasa Nakano.

He found that the other party was looking at him with admiration and respect, and his eyes revealed great conviction.

This made Hanyu Hideki complain in his heart. No wonder the masters always spoke in a mysterious way, using objects to illustrate things.

Judging from Nakano Shigemasa's reaction, it turns out that this kind of roundabout and confusing way of speaking can really exaggerate one's prestige and make oneself appear mysterious and unfathomable.

However, after complaining, Hideki Hanyu continued to talk about business.

"The board of directors of Northeast Energy has been behaving itself out lately, right?"

Nakano Shigemasa replied, "The board of directors has been calm recently, and no one is obstructing the plans made by the president anymore."

"very good."

Hanyu Hideki nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, he thought that he had already dealt with Honma and his gang. Although the stocks were still in the hands of Honma and his gang in name, it would be easy for him to get them back with his status as a creditor.

As for the reason why it has not been recovered yet, it is ostensibly frozen under the name of the case and cannot be traded or processed for the time being.

But the real reason is that the Japanese stock market has not yet fallen to its bottom, and if you withdraw your shares now, you will lose your own money.

Wait until the price has fallen to a certain level before buying back, and you can still cut more losses from Honma and others.

Anyway, the assets of Honma and others have all been frozen, the rights of those stocks cannot be exercised normally, and the management rights of several companies have fallen back into his hands, so there is nothing to worry about.

Hanyu Hideki asked, "You should have learned about the investigation in Kanto, right?"

Nakano Shigemasa replied, "Yes, Chairman. Now that most of the companies in the plan are involved in the investigation, there is a great deal of management chaos. We also have a large amount of debt as an excuse. I think it is completely possible to start the Kanto Plan."

Hanyu Hideki picked up the teacup again and took a sip, then said with a satisfied look, "The temperature is just right now."

After saying that, he looked at Nakano Shigemasa and said, "I've already told you, don't be anxious. Lead everyone to make preliminary preparations. This matter has only just begun, and our time has not yet arrived."

When Shigemasa Nakano thought about the possibility that the Tohoku Energy industry could develop in the core area of ​​Kanto, he couldn't wait to ask.

"President, when will the opportunity come?"

"When it appears, you will know it naturally."

Hideki Hanyu showed a mysterious smile while speaking.

Then he extended his hand again as an invitation, "Nakano-san, that's enough for today's business. Next, it's time to enjoy the snow and drink tea. After all, such weather is not common in Tokyo."

Under the falling snow, Shigemasa Nakano accompanied Hideki Hanyu to drink tea and chat until noon. After finishing the meal, he was sent away by Hideki Hanyu.

After Nakano Shigemasa left, someone else arrived at the Yorozuya right after him.

It is Chie Ishihara, the assistant of Hideki Hanyu.

The other party reported to Hideki Hanyu as soon as he came up.

"Teacher Hanyu, we have the latest news about Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's schedule. It has been confirmed that he will attend the Mitsui & Co. reception tomorrow night."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Do I have an invitation to Mitsui & Co.'s reception?"

Ishihara Chie replied, “Yes.”

Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment and said, "Please deliver the invitation for me and inform Mitsui & Co. that I will attend the reception tomorrow."

Ishihara Chie responded, “Okay, Mr. Hanyu.”

Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment and asked again, "How is Sato Kyoko these past two days?"

Two days ago, when he went to Shogakukan, he arranged for his assistant's office to find Sato Kyoko and temporarily protect her.

After all, he promised Kamiho Eiichi that he would handle the matter.

But while he was still looking for an opportunity, the woman was taken care of by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Ishihara replied, “She’s fine.”

"Help her get ready. I'm taking her to attend Mitsui & Co.'s reception tomorrow."

Hanyu Hideki then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ishihara Chie replied, "Teacher Hanyu, the acquisition negotiation team in America sent a message saying that MCA Universal has been asking about our offer. We hope to get a reply as soon as possible."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Is Panasonic making another offer?"

Ishihara Chie replied, "According to the team's report, there shouldn't be any, but they said that MCA Global has been hinting that Panasonic might make an offer they can't refuse."

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Ishihara Tomoe said this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then he said in a mocking tone, "Hasn't the MCA Global negotiators looked at Panasonic's stock price recently?"

So far, three weeks have passed since the Neon Story began, and the Nikkei index has fallen by nearly 15 percent.

Speaking of individual stocks, there are many listed companies that have been cut in half.

Compared with these companies, Northeast Energy, which proactively released negative news and caused its stock price to fall by nearly 30%, can no longer even make it into the first tier.

Panasonic is a stock whose decline is even worse than that of Northeast Energy.

As of the weekend close, Panasonic's stock price had fallen by a full 37 percent, not far from being halved.

Such a horrific drop has never happened in any other time or space.

The reason why it appeared in this time and space is naturally due to the work of Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu, who knows the future well, had already laid a mine for Panasonic.

According to his plan, as long as Panasonic is willing to cooperate with Yunshang Entertainment in the acquisition of MCA, he will not do anything even if the stock market crashes.

But since Panasonic looked down on Yunshang Entertainment, he had to resort to some unconventional tactics.

Panasonic used competition to delay the acquisition of MCA Universal until the bubble was burst, and then took advantage of the stock market crash to add insult to injury. It would be strange if Panasonic's stock price did not fall.

Under the current circumstances, unless Panasonic really doesn't want to survive, how could it make an irresistible offer to MCA Global regardless of the cost as before?

If this is true, Hideki Hanyu would be overwhelmed with joy.

After all, if Panasonic's management really loses their minds, the worst that can happen is that Panasonic acquires MCA Global, and they can directly acquire Panasonic Electric in Japan.

By then, MCA Universal will still fall into his hands.

It’s a pity that Panasonic’s management would never be that stupid.

According to his guess, it won’t be long before Panasonic will seek negotiations with Yunshang Entertainment.

Ha ha……

Hideki Hanyu gave a playful smile.

When the time comes, he will give Panasonic a surprise.
