Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 873: The Steady Hanyu Hideki

When the black Toyota arrived outside the headquarters of Yunshang Satellite TV in Shinagawa District, Hanyu Hideki discovered that the place was already blocked by the media.

Calculating the time, the news that his assistant studio informed him that he would hold a press conference should have spread by now.

I think all the media that were besieging him in other places have gathered here, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

After all, the size of Japan means that it is impossible for the media to have hundreds of them joining in the fun like in the mainland.

But judging from the number of media outlets, his winning of the International Hans Christian Andersen Award can be considered a "New Year's Day" for the Japanese media.

The place is small and densely populated, so any major event can be reported by the entire country for several days.

Now that they have finally caught hold of him as a hot topic, and it is also major international news, the media's enthusiasm is understandable.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to change to a low-key car when he came.

He would have to take one of his cars that had long been identified by the media, and at this moment he probably couldn't even get through the door of Yunshang Satellite TV.

It was because the commotion this time was so huge that even he couldn't suppress it.

Because even if he is a big shot in the industry, he still has to maintain a tacit understanding with public opinion.

If there are some gossip, romantic anecdotes, or other people's scandals that they don't want others to know, he can just say hello and his colleagues will tacitly help him suppress them.

But if he still wants to suppress this big news which is being spread all over the world and does not involve any negative impact, he will be destroying the tacit understanding. Don't blame everyone for not giving him face.

After driving carefully, Hideki Hanyu finally entered the new office building of Yunshang Satellite TV headquarters.

The press conference later will be held in the press hall of this building.

Hideki Hanyu had just walked into his office and was letting his stylist tidy up his appearance when there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the person who knocked on the door came in.

"President, the press hall is ready. The press conference will officially begin at 10:30 a.m."

"This is a good time. It's the most leisurely time for wives."

As Hanyu Hideki said this, he turned around to look at the person who came to report, and found that it was the female secretary of Koichi Minato. He forgot her name, but it seemed that her surname was Kobayashi.

Two years ago, Hanyu Hideki met Koichi Minato for the first time in his office and praised his beauty.

At that time, the new headquarters building had not been completed yet, and Gang Haoyi said that he would reserve an office for him and arrange a female secretary for him.

The former could not be refused, but the latter really had no arrangements.

However, he did not expect that Secretary Kobayashi would work for Koichi Gang for such a long time, and he was obviously a capable subordinate.

Hanyu Hideki is quite familiar with Koichi Minato.

He has a strong sense of career, but his family is harmonious and his relationships between men and women are relatively clean, which is very different from many senior executives who come from TV stations.

There are many problems in this regard that are hidden underwater, and even cloud-based satellite TV is not immune to them. Hanyu Hideki will just turn a blind eye.

As long as it doesn't go too far, neither he nor Guangqiao Qianzi will really pursue anything.

After all, in many cases, the relationship between men and women in this industry is not what the outside world thinks, that is, using power and resources to enforce unspoken rules.

Rather, the woman wanted to be the superior and the man accepted it, and it was a transaction between us both willingly.

If we really get to the bottom of it, no one can escape responsibility.

Again, anyone who is willing to develop in this circle and stay after knowing everything cannot be a pure and flawless white lotus, and this applies to both men and women.

Those who can truly hold the bottom line either have a background or have withdrawn early.

"Secretary Xiaolin, long time no see."

Hanyu Hideki greeted casually.

Secretary Kobayashi was surprised to find that Hanyu Hideki still remembered her.

But despite her surprise, she did not forget her business.

"President, the PR department asked me to ask about this. An external TV station also wants to be included in the live broadcast. What is your opinion?"

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and felt that this kind of press conference was not a long-term program, and there was no point in letting Yunshang Satellite TV have the monopoly.

Moreover, the main purpose of his holding the press conference this time was to respond to this matter quickly, cool down the incident as soon as possible, and prevent some people from taking advantage of this incident to put him on the spot.

Therefore, naturally, the faster and wider the press conference is spread, the more beneficial it is for him.

So the immediate answer was, "Don't limit the number of media, and don't limit media live broadcasts. If the press hall is not enough, then arrange a studio."

"Yes, I will notify the production department right away."

Secretary Kobayashi answered promptly and without further ado. He said goodbye and left immediately.

Regardless of the ability of Secretary Kobayashi, Hanyu Hideki admired his efficient work style. No wonder he was able to stay and work with Koichi Minato for two years.

Not long after, there was another knock on the office door.

But this time the person who came was not Secretary Kobayashi, but Koichi Minato himself.

As soon as the other party entered the door, he said to Hanyu Hideki.

"After the PR department's statistics, it was determined that the press hall could no longer meet the requirements for the press conference. The president's press conference was moved to Studio 3."

Hanyu Hideki teased, "It seems that Koichi-san has a lot of free time to tell me such a small thing in person."

"If the president could help me manage it for a few days, I wouldn't feel like I'm idle." Gang Haoyi smiled bitterly.

Hanyu Hideki looked puzzled, "After the listing, the business has stabilized, and Koichi-san's work should be easier than before."

This time, Hong Haoyi nodded and admitted, "It is easier than before, but the scale of our business is also expanding. Neon is stable, but there are more things to do in the overseas branches."

Speaking of Yunshang’s TV business, there are actually several businesses now.

The first is of course the largest Neon Cloud Satellite TV Station. Since the number of users exceeded seven million, the upward momentum has gradually slowed down.

There is also "Asia Cloud Satellite TV", which has grown from the initial two Chinese channels to seven channels in various languages. The number of paying users has reached four million, and the number of employees is no less than that of Japan.

As for South Korea's PBS TV station, although the production bureau is controlled by the Yunshang Group, because the operating model belongs to a wireless public television station, the management rights are ostensibly under the responsibility of the South Korean team.

This is just like some broadcast elevators, regional TV stations, and the Universal Television Network independent from MCA Global that Yunshang Group acquired in Europe, which have no affiliation with Yunshang Satellite TV.

Therefore, for Hong Haoyi, as the business of Cloud Satellite TV in Japan has stabilized, the only thing he really needs to worry about is "Asia Cloud Satellite TV".

Especially after the launch of the exclusive cloud satellite TV, the television service has been qualitatively improved, the scale of overseas users has increased rapidly, and Hong Haoyi has become busier.

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and stepped forward to pat Koichi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Koichi-san. You will be even busier soon."

"What Hanyu-san means is..."

Just as Koichi Minato was about to say something, he realized that Hanyu Hideki's styling team was still in the office, so he held back the rest of his words.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu, who had already finished his styling, gave the stylist a look.

The stylist decisively called everyone else and quickly left the room with the things.

After Hideki Hanyu and Koichi Minato were the only ones left in the office, he gave Koichi Minato a positive answer.

"Yes, it's what you think.

After my people created threats in the secondary market, the people who worked with me have successfully entered the board of directors of Neon Broadcasting as saviors.

The shares we now control together are very close to controlling Neon Broadcasting and, in turn, Fuji TV.”

"How long will it take?" Gang Haoyi asked excitedly.

Hanyu Hideki replied, "We can't be impatient. Since this is acting, we can't let Neon Broadcasting and Fuji TV find out the flaws, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion and all our efforts will be wasted."

This is also what he and Haruko Naito think.

They just wanted to take advantage of the strange relationship between Neon Broadcasting and Fuji TV to catch Fuji TV off guard.

If the management of Fuji TV finds out, it will be like the other time and space Livegate, and will be met with fierce resistance from Fuji TV.

For Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito, that would mean too many uncertainties.

Hong Haoyi sighed, "You guys are so careful. If I didn't know the news, I wouldn't be able to tell what happened."

Hanyu Hideki said, "We targeted Neon Broadcasting and did not touch Fuji TV, so of course fewer people paid attention to it.

What's more, the Neon stock market has been falling for five consecutive months since the beginning of the year. Among the companies that have plummeted, there are many with larger market capitalizations than Neon Broadcasting and Fuji TV.

Short selling, bottom fishing, hostile takeover, anti-takeover...

If you go and find out, you will find that these things happen every day on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and people are no longer surprised by them. "

Of course, Hanyu Hideki would not tell Minato Koichi that he was involved in many of these matters.

Now that the Neon stock market has collapsed, for a capital tycoon like him, it is simply a feast that is rarely seen in a century.

In addition to letting Kamiho Eiichi make some "small money", he also took the opportunity to buy stocks that were dragged down by the overall market but would become high-quality assets in the future.

To give just one example, among the companies he targeted was Daikin Air Conditioning, which would rank first in the world's air-conditioning market share in the future.

The number of shares that Hideki Hanyu has acquired in Daikin Industries, the parent company of Daikin Air Conditioning, is close to 20% of the total share capital.

Although it is somewhat unrealistic for him to take over Daikin Industries in one go.

But he knew that Daikin would be in a slump for a long time. If he joined the board of directors now while the stock market was crashing, he would have plenty of time and opportunities to proceed slowly.

Even though the plot failed in the end, the share price of Daikin Industries, which was 500 yen at its bottom, grew to nearly 30,000 yen in the future.

With the stock price rising sixty times, even if his plan fails, it will still be a very worthwhile investment.

It’s a pity that many large Japanese companies have close ties with the conglomerates, and there are very few companies like Daikin that can be used to pick up bargains.

In most cases, he simply uses his foresight to pick up small businesses that will become mainstream in the future.

For example, after the reorganization of Northeast Energy, its parent company, Qiyuan Group, has been vigorously developing the battery industry, investing in research and development, and acquiring related small businesses, using every possible means.

He was in Sendai City during the New Year because Tetsuo Yamashita, who was won over by his younger brother Hidetoshi Hanyu, is now the head of the new energy research institute invested by the Origin Group in Sendai City.

Since he has no worries about funds, of course he is going on a shopping spree now.

Not to mention Japan, he also didn't let go of overseas.

Hope Angel Investment, British Joint Investment Company, Cornerstone Bank, America Entertainment Investment Company...

He registered so many overseas accounts not for viewing purposes.

Every time Gates released his Microsoft shares over the years, his alias was one of the "buyers".

Starting this year, he also began contacting Apple's investors through various brokers, preparing to take a bite of Apple.

With this kind of overseas investment, especially the one involving America, he certainly had no intention of controlling the business; he was simply investing.

Especially for Apple, he has another consideration.

That is, Pixar Animation Studios was intercepted by him, and Jobs lost his biggest bargaining chip in the future. He was worried that the other party's way back to Apple would be hindered. So he had a certain say in the Apple board of directors in advance, so that he could support the boss when the time came.

Just think about it, it would be very interesting if he could become the "great benefactor" of Steve Jobs' return to Apple in this world.

Moreover, for a time traveler, it would be more beneficial for him if the world developed as much as possible according to the original script.

But these are still too far away for him now.

What I want to talk to Gang Haoyi right now is actually another matter.

He earnestly instructed Minato Koichi, "Koichi-san, I need you to prepare yourself now. Once my plan succeeds, you will be the new president of Fuji TV."

"Yes, President."

Gang Haoyi nodded solemnly, his expression unable to hide his excitement.

When Hideki Hanyu founded Cloud Satellite TV, he gave up the bright future of Fuji TV and chose to start a business with Hanyu Hideki.

Looking back now, this did not mean giving up the future of Fuji TV, but rather changing the direction of struggle and overtaking others to achieve the ultimate goal.

If he continued to stay at Fuji TV, it would be difficult for him to become the president, or even get promoted in the production department in just a few years.

It turns out that the saying is right, choice is more important than hard work.

If you follow a good boss, you can save yourself decades of hard work.

Of course, while Koichi Minato was excited, he also understood that he had to do what Hideki Hanyu asked.

What preparations does he need to make?

The first thing is to select a qualified successor for Cloud Satellite TV.

Even if he takes over Fuji TV, he will still be able to handle the work of cloud satellite TV, but he will definitely not be able to devote his full attention to it as he does now.

What's more, Hanyu Hideki appointed him as the president of Fuji TV not just to promote him, but to let him do things.

This is what Hideki Hanyu said when he told him about the decision.

“Although Fuji TV looks glamorous on the outside, it has been plagued by problems for a long time. You have worked at Fuji TV before, so you know what I am talking about.

At that time, you can bring people from Cloud Satellite TV to assist you in management, and you can also promote available people within Fuji TV.

I have only one goal, which is to reform Fuji TV after you take office. Fuji TV must be completely transformed from top to bottom."

Koichi Minato still remembers that when he heard Hanyu Hideki's words, he was a little worried and said, "If we do this, it is very likely that Fuji TV will suffer serious damage."

But Hanyu Hideki answered firmly, "It's just labor pains, and if you don't break your bones, how can you be reborn from the ashes?"

Just as Koichi Minato was thinking about what Hanyu Hideki had told him, Hanyu Hideki's voice of inquiry rang out again.

“Have you decided on your successor at Cloud Satellite TV?”

Gang Haoyi replied, "There are several candidates, and they have been reported to the board of directors and the group."

After hearing this, Hanyu Hideki did not ask any more questions.

After all, he rarely participates in specific management, so it is difficult for him to express his opinions.

He just ordered, "Listen more to Asako-san's advice."

"Yes, President."

Hong Haoyi is very clear that he may be able to recommend a successor, but the real decision-making power is neither he nor the board of directors of Cloud Satellite TV.

After all, the two largest shareholders of the current Yunshang Satellite TV board of directors are Yunshang Entertainment Group and Hideki Hanyu personally.

The two parties will be able to influence all decisions regarding cloud satellite TV by joining forces.

Now that Hanyu Hideki is not intervening and has made it clear that he wants Hirohashi Asako to make the decision, it is natural that Hirohashi Asako has the final say.

Next, Hideki Hanyu gave Koichi Minato some instructions about work.

The conversation between the two ended only when Secretary Kobayashi came to remind them that Studio No. 3 was ready, the press conference was about to start, and Hanyu Hideki needed to go and prepare.

Hanyu Hideki walked out of the office helplessly and said, "It's time to deal with those annoying guys outside."

Gang Haoyi said, "In fact, we can do a separate interview with the president, so that the process can be better controlled."

Hideki Hanyu shook his head in denial.

"Doing so will only make things out of control. There is too much public opinion right now. I must come forward in person and explain everything clearly. I cannot leave room for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of it."

After Hanyu Hideki said this, Minato Koichi seemed to understand something.

As the president's wealth increased, his status became higher and higher, and his power became stronger and stronger, the pressure on him also became greater and greater.

A long time ago, he could still call Yu Yusheng-san, but now he only dares to call him president.

Hundreds of thousands of people depend on Hideki Hanyu for their livelihoods, and he indirectly affects even more people.

While Hideki Hanyu seems to be enjoying a good time, he must also be under pressure that he cannot imagine.

As the saying goes, you have as many enemies as you have friends.

After being in the media industry for a long time, I realized that some people seem to be praising and flattering on the surface, but in fact they have evil intentions.

Obviously, Hanyu Hideki understands this.

Koichi Minato was also very glad that Hideki Hanyu did not lose his mind because of the false fame, and he remained calm, composed and decisive as before.

The two walked forward and soon arrived at the location of Studio No. 3.

Hideki Hanyu's appearance was immediately noticed by the media reporters waiting at the door.

The crowd swarmed in, and countless voices rang out around at once. The reporters obviously couldn't wait for the press conference to begin and wanted to interview Hanyu Hideki.

This time, Hideki Hanyu neither pretended to be aloof and kept silent, nor did he really respond to the interview.

Instead, he walked into the studio under the protection of bodyguards and spoke to the media around him.

"The press conference is about to begin. For everyone's safety, I will be interviewed at the press conference and answer every question from the media."

With his promise, the reporters' excitement finally subsided a little, allowing Hideki Hanyu to successfully enter the studio under the escort of bodyguards.

Studio No. 3 is one of the largest studios at the headquarters of Yunshang Satellite TV Station. Hanyu Hideki has no idea what program was filmed there.

But at this moment, the entire studio has been set up to suit the needs of a press conference.

On the innermost stage, there are tables and microphones, and it is obvious that Hideki Hanyu is in the position.

Across the table, multiple live broadcast cameras were already in place.

It can be seen from the staff's clothes that in addition to Yunshang Satellite TV itself, Japan's five major commercial TV stations and NHK are also present.

Such a large-scale event is enough to highlight Hideki Hanyu's current influence in Japan and his extraordinary popularity.

As Hideki Hanyu walked up to the stage step by step and sat in front of his microphone, the on-site staff began the final preparations before the live broadcast.

When the host's introduction sounded, Hideki Hanyu realized that his image should have appeared on the Japanese TV screen.

On an occasion like today, facing so many Japanese people, his image naturally needs to be steady.

His black hair was meticulously groomed with hair wax, and of course his iconic gold-rimmed glasses were indispensable. Paired with a straight navy blue suit, twill tie, and white shirt, he looked elegant and yet calm and dignified.

It can be said that it is extremely in line with contemporary mainstream aesthetics.

Of course, coupled with his flawless handsome face, it is easier for him to gain the favor of ordinary people.

After the host's opening remarks, it was Hideki Hanyu's turn to speak.

Facing several cameras pointed at him and the flashing lights that kept lighting up, Hanyu Hideki spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"Good morning everyone, I am Hideki Hanyu.

Because my winning of the Hans Christian Andersen Award has had a certain impact on Japanese public opinion and occupied the media's public resources, I am very sorry for this and I hope everyone will forgive me. "

Hanyu Hideki said this, standing up and bowing slightly.

Although Hideki Hanyu won the award and the honor, he did not show a trace of pride. Instead, he kept a very humble attitude and came up to apologize to everyone.

This action alone has won the favor of many Japanese people.

After all, East Asian cultures all emphasize humility and courtesy, and they all like humble gentlemen.

At this moment, Hideki Hanyu's appearance, speech and behavior are exactly in line with the image of the perfect talent that everyone imagines.

Ordinary Japanese people who originally disliked Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but feel that this guy was not that annoying after all.

As for those book fans and housewives who originally loved Hanyu Hideki to the point of madness...of course they like Hanyu Hideki even more.

Hideki Hanyu's behavior has disappointed many people.

After all, the fact that public opinion about Hideki Hanyu's winning the award has become so popular in Japan is inseparable from the promotion of some people.

Most of these people do not have any deep hatred against Hanyu Hideki. Perhaps they are in business competition, or perhaps they are simply unhappy with Hanyu Hideki's success. In short, they just want to make Hanyu Hideki unlucky.

Their purpose is nothing more than to make Hanyu Hideki get carried away by the false fame and popularity, lose his mind and do something arrogant and presumptuous that they can seize the opportunity to take advantage of.

But looking at Hanyu Hideki now, he doesn't seem to be blinded by false fame at all.

These people's first plan failed, and they couldn't launch the subsequent combination punches. They could only curse angrily and hope that Hideki Hanyu would make a mistake in the next interview.

But obviously, they thought too much.

Hanyu Hideki was so cautious at the beginning, so how could he possibly give others any handle in the subsequent interviews?

After all, Hideki Hanyu has never been a "maverick" person.

No matter how his wealth grows, how his influence expands, or how he does things in private, he is always a "law-abiding" person in front of the public and never pursues the so-called "rebellion" of young people.

The most outrageous thing he did was dyeing his hair white.

As for his reputation as a playboy and his alleged romantic affairs.

To some extent, this is actually a plus for Hideki Hanyu.

In the hearts of his fans, these are regarded as the best proof of Hanyu Hideki's personal charm.

So when the interview began, Hanyu Hideki's performance could only be described as steady.

When the first reporter asked, "Mr. Hanyu, do you have anything to say about winning the award?"

“Of course I want to thank all the readers who like me. Without their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

After answering this, Hideki Hanyu did not forget to spread his hands and make a joke.

“This is not an acceptance speech, as IBOX has informed me that the awards ceremony will not take place until September at the United Nations.

Five months is enough time for me to think about what I want to say at the United Nations.”
