Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 876: Hanyu Hideki, the “Attracting Bees and Butterflies”

Although Hanyu Hideki said it was a small matter, when Naito Haruko entered Seya Garden, he immediately washed up, tidied up his appearance, and quickly left with her.

In the departing Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, Naito Haruko looked at Hanyu Hideki with a half-smile, "You're in such a hurry to take me away, don't you want me to see anything?"

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there anything about me that you can't see?"

Naito Haruko didn't say anything, but just turned her head to look at Seya Zhenyuan who was gradually moving away, and narrated slowly.

"If I remember correctly, this house was originally the residence of the Takahashi family. The old house was destroyed during the war, and the current courtyard was renovated and rebuilt on the original site after the war."

Hanyu Hideki was a little surprised, "I didn't expect Haruko to know so much."

"It's just something a girl from a noble family living in Tokyo must know. When I was a kid, my mother would always make me memorize the backgrounds of many guests before attending banquets."

Naito Haruko said at this point, in the same tone as Hanyu Hideki, "I didn't expect that this house would be bought by Hanyu-san."

"There are countless wealthy families in Japan that have fallen on hard times. Even the four great Chinese families have lost their former glory. It's normal for some people to sell off their ancestral property when they are down and out. I just happened to buy it at the right time."

Hideki Hanyu's words were calm and nonchalant.

But Naito Haruko sighed after hearing this, "But it's rare to see a commoner like Hanyu-san suddenly rise up."

Hanyu Hideki spoke slowly, "Because times have changed."

But Naito Haruko emphasized, "But many things in Japan have not changed, and some people still stick to tradition, so why did you say those things yesterday, Hanyu-san?"

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki looked at Naito Haruko with a smile, "Haruko, are you concerned about me?"

Naito Haruko looked sincere, "I am concerned about Hanyu-san."

Hanyu Hideki nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at the scenery that was constantly receding outside the car window. "I must seize all opportunities and not miss any possibilities. I can only succeed and must succeed."

Hideki Hanyu's words made Haruko Naito's expression freeze.

At this moment, her understanding of Hanyu Hideki seemed to have become deeper.

She smiled slightly, then turned to Hanyu Hideki and said, "I don't usually see you living in Setagaya District, why did you suddenly come here to rest last night?"

Hanyu Hideki was wondering why this little girl brought the topic back, but she said as a matter of course, "Couldn't I just live in Setagaya District just to make it convenient for me to meet you today?"

Naito Haruko looked at Hanyu Hideki, nodded seriously and said, "I believe it."

For a moment, Hideki Hanyu suddenly had a strange feeling.

How to describe it?
Telepathy? Something seems wrong.

A perfect match? That's a bit exaggerated.

All in all, the feeling he had with this young lady from a big Japanese family was indeed different from that with other women.

It is not simply dependence and pandering. The other party is very smart, but he knows when to advance and when to retreat and knows his limits.

No matter what he said or did, whether it was about career or casual conversation, whether it was about ability or cultural accomplishment, the other party would always respond appropriately and provide excellent help.

This unique emotional value, that all-round sense of compatibility, was something he had never felt from any other woman before.

It is not a one-sided expression from him, but a two-way communication.

Naito Haruko is so outstanding that even the young lady from the Fukuda family is far inferior to her.

No wonder our ancestors always said that men and women should be well matched.

If he really married...

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Hanyu Hideki immediately dismissed it.

How could it be so inappropriate that I actually had the thought of settling down?

No matter how good a woman is, she is not worth him abandoning the entire forest.

And now, his career no longer needs external help, especially the help brought by so-called marriage.

What's more, what can a marriage from Japan bring him now?

Instead of helping, all he could think of were all kinds of entanglements and troubles.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki did not try to avoid or fool the other party deliberately, but answered frankly.

"My friends and I went to Azabu Juban to drink wine last night. Considering that the media are looking for me after the press conference, I came here to rest."

Naito Haruko immediately said, "Would you like to take me with you if you have the chance? I have never been to a nightclub in Japan."

"Of course no problem." Hanyu Hideki agreed.

"How about tonight?" The young lady was obviously impatient.

"I'm afraid not tonight. I'm in a film company in Hong Kong and have invested in a movie that will be premiering tonight. I promised to attend."

After Hanyu Hideki finished explaining, Naito Haruko immediately asked curiously, "I haven't attended the premiere yet. Can I go and see it in person?"

"This kind of thing may look exciting, but it's actually very boring. If you don't mind, of course you can do it."

Naturally, Hanyu Hideki would not refuse such a small thing.

Then Naito Haruko said she was not bored.

Just like that, Hideki Hanyu will have to bring one more person to the premiere in the evening.

After the two of them finished talking about these things, they naturally talked about today's acquisition signing and the upcoming establishment of a comprehensive trading company.

"Have you communicated with your family about the general trading company? After all, this matter is not the same as controlling Fuji TV."

Hideki Hanyu first asked Haruko Naito about this matter.

It's not that he looks down on Fuji TV...

Well, Hideki Hanyu just underestimated Fuji TV.

Whether it is Naito Haruko's paternal family in Itochu Corporation, the Naito family, or her maternal family in Marubeni, the Asada family, they may not take Naito Haruko's actions against Neon Broadcasting to heart.

However, these two families would never regard Hideki Hanyu's entry into the comprehensive trading company as some insignificant matter.

In the final analysis, Hideki Hanyu is now strong enough. Whatever he does is like a dragon crossing the river, and there is a great possibility that he will change the original interest structure.

For example, Kanematsu Shoji and Tomen Shoji, which are going to be traded today, may be on the decline, but as long as the outside world knows that the acquirer is Hideki Hanyu.

Then the Japanese general trading company industry will inevitably have another strong player.

As Haruko Naito is going to be the manager of this business, with Hideki Hanyu's support behind her, the attitude of the two families towards Haruko Naito will naturally not be the same as before.

At least, not in the same way as Fuji TV.

Naturally, Naito Haruko understood the meaning of this.

So when Hanyu Hideki asked, Naito Haruko replied, "I have communicated with my uncle on the mother's side, but he did not express his opinion directly."

"That means I neither agree nor disagree," said Hanyu Hideki.

Naito Haruko nodded, "At least my uncle won't stop me."

"What about your father's side?" asked Hanyu Hideki.

Naito Haruko immediately made a pitiful expression towards Hanyu Hideki, "I told my father, and then he scolded me and didn't allow me to work for you."

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands, "So?"

Naito Haruko said confidently, "I am working for Hanyu-san, so of course Hanyu-san helped me solve this problem."

Hideki Hanyu, who had originally intended to take on the family pressure for Haruko Naito, was of course joking just now.

Now it seems that there is no major problem with Naito Haruko's maternal family. It is not a difficult task for her to withstand the pressure from Ito Chu, or the Naito family, alone.

Therefore, he said very proudly, "Don't worry, I will take care of Haruko's affairs. I believe that it won't be long before you can have an equal dialogue with the family as the president of one of the eight major general trading companies in Japan."

Naito Haruko questioned, "Eight major general trading companies? Mitsui & Co., Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Itochu, Marubeni, Nissho Iwai, Nippon...

In other words, Hanyu-san is not going to acquire Nissho Iwai and Nichimen?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, “They still want to raise the price and even want me to agree to other conditions, but I don’t have time to waste with them.

Although we will not make the contract public immediately after signing with Kanematsu and Tomen today, we will certainly not be able to conceal the news from the industry.

In this case, even if they agree at the first time, other peers will not watch us buy them.

So if we can’t come to an agreement in a short period of time, there’s no need to continue the discussion.”

"As expected of Hanyu-san, you really think long-term."

After Naito Haruko finished praising him, she immediately asked, "Since we are going to sign the contract today, Hanyu-san should also come up with a name for the new general trading company."

Hanyu Hideki blurted out, "Let's call it Crescent Moon Trading Company."

Naito Haruko said with some surprise, "I thought Hanyu-san would be named Hanyu Shoji."

"My family is not a Chinese family with a long history, and we are already in a modern society. Whether it is for publicity needs or business considerations, using the surname as the company name is not the best choice." Hideki Hanyu has no obsession with carrying forward the family's prosperity.

What's more, in his plan, the general trading company must expand its business overseas on a large scale. In this case, using a Japanese surname as the company name will not meet the market demand at all.

Naito Haruko asked, "Is Shingetsu Trading Company related to Shingetsu Cinema?"

“It does matter. Crescent Cinemas is in the entertainment industry, and with its cinemas and distribution, it is now somewhat well-known in Europe and the United States.

By using the same name, we can gain some influence if the company expands overseas in the future.”

Hideki Hanyu is also speaking the truth.

As long as he could borrow some fame, he didn't care what the new company was called.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of using the name Global, he would definitely name the new company Global Commercial.

Naito Haruko thought for a moment and said, "Well, Crescent Moon Trading Company is a nice name."

"As long as you like it, after all, you are the president of the new company."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, the car they were riding in began to slow down slowly, and Marco's reminder sounded.

"Boss, we have arrived at our destination."

……

More than two hours later, in an office building in the port area, Hideki Hanyu, who had completed the signing, saw off the heads of Kanematsu Shoji and Tomen Shoji.

After everything was done, Hideki Hanyu slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass in the office and looked at the scenery within his sight.

"The view here is pretty good. How about using this as your future office?"

Naito Haruko slowly approached and asked, "Is this the office you prepared for Xinyue Trading?"

Hanyu Hideki shook his head. "No, I bought this building a long time ago. If you don't like it, you can change it to a place you like."

“I like it very much, there is no need to bother anymore.

Moreover, for a long time to come, I will need to work at the original headquarters of the two companies to integrate their businesses and personnel, so I probably won’t have time to sit here.”

Seeing Hanyu Hideki's calm face, Naito Haruko asked curiously, "You just spent $700 million, how come you don't have any emotions at all?"

Hideki Hanyu turned his head and looked at Haruko Naito in confusion.

"The money has already been spent, how can I feel? Even if I regret it, it's probably too late."

Naito Haruko nodded, "I almost forgot, Hanyu-san is the world's richest man with a net worth of tens of billions, and $700 million is nothing to you."

“Qingzi is wrong about this. The $700 million is also very important to me. But in my opinion, as long as the investment is valuable and strategically significant, we cannot just consider the price.

Besides, with you, Haruko, helping me manage Crescent Moon Trading, 700 million US dollars will eventually become 7 billion. "

Hideki Hanyu's words were full of confidence.

On the one hand, it is a recognition of Haruko Naito's abilities.

On the other hand, we are also optimistic about the future development of comprehensive trading companies.

You know, among the seven major general trading companies in Japan, Sojitz Corporation, which is the result of the merger of Nichimen and Nissho Iwai, ranks last in market share, turnover and profit. Its market value on the Tokyo Stock Exchange is 750 billion yen.

Calculated based on the exchange rate at that time, that was more than 5 billion US dollars.

The top-ranked comprehensive trading companies such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Itochu all had market capitalizations exceeding 3 trillion yen at their peak, and some even exceeded 3.5 trillion yen.

Under his "wise" guidance, his Crescent Trading Company may not be as good as the best, but at least it can be as good as the worst.

There will definitely be no problem in recovering the $700 million spent now while beating the currency depreciation.

This was a good time for him. Kanematsu and Tomen were not doing well, and the overall economy of Japan was bad. Everyone was very short of money, so he was able to take advantage of the situation.

And Hideki Hanyu is here imagining the future.

However, because of Hanyu Hideki's last words, Naito Haruko happily snuggled into the scumbag's arms and pretended to kiss him.

"There are others."

Although the scumbag coveted the body of this beautiful woman with a baby face and big breasts, he would not put on a show in front of others. At least he remembered that his entourage was still there.

However, he had just said his refusal when he turned around and saw that his assistant and Marco had disappeared into the office.

By the way, she was very considerate and closed the door for him.

"There's no one left now."

After Naito Haruko finished speaking, she reached out and pulled the scumbag's neck down.

How could Hideki Hanyu, a playboy, let a woman deprive him of the initiative? He immediately pressed Haruko Naito against the floor-to-ceiling glass.

then……

Naturally, it is a warm-up exercise overlooking Tokyo's port area.

……

In the afternoon, a black business car drove out of the underground parking lot of the office building.

In the business car, the refreshed scumbag, taking the slightly depressed Naito Haruko, rushed towards Shirokanedai in Minato Ward.

Naito Haruko in the car asked curiously, "Aren't we going to the movie theater in Bunkyo Ward to watch the premiere?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Yes, but before that, I have to go to Shirokanedai to pick up two children."

Naito Haruko asked, "What little kid?"

Hanyu Hideki explained, "One of Asako-san's two daughters has a birthday the day after tomorrow. Asako-san is going to America to attend a press conference. I promised Asako-san to take them out to play. We will attend the premiere tonight and go to Hawaii tomorrow."

"So it's President Hirohashi's child. But are children also interested in movie premieres?" asked Haruko Naito.

Hanyu Hideki replied, "For the movies I invested in, Yunshang Entertainment will definitely arrange artists to appear in them. My two children are bored staying at home, so I will just help them chase stars and watch the fun."

After hearing this, Naito Haruko finally understood.

However, before arriving at Shirokanedai, Naito Haruko always thought that the two children mentioned by Hanyu Hideki were really two children.

But when the car arrived at Hirohashi Asako's door, when Naito Haruko saw Hanyu Hideki taking the two "children" into the business car, she felt as if she had thought something wrong.

First of all, there are two girls.

Secondly, one of the two girls looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and was definitely a child.

But the other one…

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender, with bright eyes and white teeth, lively and smart, pure and moving, and her fair face was so beautiful that even she was envious.

The most important thing is that Naito Haruko has met Hirohashi Asako. In her opinion, this girl is so beautiful that she doesn't look like Hirohashi Asako's daughter at all.

Sure enough, when the business car started and Hideki Hanyu introduced the two girls, Naito Haruko realized that the younger one was indeed Hirohashi Asako's biological daughter.

This girl, about 17 or 18 years old, named Miyazawa Rie, is the adopted daughter of Hirohashi Asako.

The most important thing is that when Naito Haruko greeted Miyazawa Rie, she could clearly feel a hint of wariness and hostility in the girl's eyes when she looked at her.

Naito Haruko was very smart and she immediately understood that the reason why Miyazawa Rie had feelings for her was definitely related to Hanyu Hideki.

Next, Naito Haruko watched the two little girls chattering around Hanyu Hideki, and she didn't even have time to say a word.

I could only sigh helplessly in my heart.

Men like Hanyu Hideki are indeed liked by girls of all ages.

But soon, Naito Haruko found that he sighed too early.

When the business car arrived at the Crescent Moon Studios in Bunkyo Ward, they got off the car and arrived. The president of Yunshang Entertainment, Mizuki Iijima, personally brought several artists to greet them.

Naito Haruko discovered that there was a beautiful girl who looked pure and lovely, with innocent eyes like a rabbit, but there was something wrong with the way she looked at Hanyu Hideki.

The girl introduced herself as Noriko Sakai.

"Hey……"

Naito Haruko sighed again.

In such a short period of time, we can see two girls who have a crush on Hanyu Hideki.

And each one is more beautiful than the other.

She could only sigh that the man she liked was truly outstanding.

But some of them are just too outstanding and can attract so many attention.
