Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 895 What are you afraid of?

In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce that continued to drive to the E3 exhibition venue, Hideki Hanyu, who had just finished his phone call, looked a little solemn.

Marco, who was driving, noticed this keenly, and although he wanted to help Hanyu Hideki, he ended up saying nothing.

He might be able to help Hanyu Hideki with some things.

But this definitely does not include what happened today.

Before he started working for Hanyu Hideki, he had already realized that in the cruel reality of society, some things cannot be solved by personal bravery.

Just like that, in silence, the car arrived at the E3 exhibition.

After getting off the car, Hideki Hanyu quickly adjusted his expression and did not want outsiders to see any clues.

The reason why he came to the E3 exhibition today was not to watch the press conference at the main booth, but because Qian Yuanzhensheng, the director of the sales department of Elf Entertainment, told him that some overseas dealer representatives hoped to meet with him.

According to Qian Yuan Zhensheng's introduction, the business scope of these overseas distributors are all the weak market areas of Elf Entertainment, so they are still very important to Elf Entertainment.

After contacting Elf Entertainment, these dealer representatives expressed their admiration for Hideki Hanyu and sincerely hoped to meet with him.

Having said that, it was difficult for Hideki Hanyu to refuse. Although he has the title of a writer, he never puts on airs or acts noble when doing business.

As I said, making money is not shameful.

After entering the venue, Hanyu Hideki was secretive and cautiously came to the backstage of the Elf Entertainment booth, where he met several important dealer representatives of Qian Yuan Zhensheng.

At first glance, you can see people from all over the world.

Africa, South America, and parts of Asia...

Anyway, when Hideki Hanyu started communicating with these dealers and took them on a tour of the booth, he got to see a variety of English accents in one go.

Especially a certain Indian representative, whose English was accented by a curry flavor. Basically, Hanyu Hideki could only understand half of a sentence after the other party spoke several sentences.

And whenever he talked to this Sango dealer representative, Hideki Hanyu had to try to hold his breath.

Because the smell on the other person is too strong.

I don’t know if it’s because his sweat glands are too developed, or the temperature in Las Vegas is a bit high, or he just doesn’t like to take care of his own hygiene.

In short, as long as the other person gets close to him, the smell of sweat, body odor, curry, and pungent men's perfume, a mixed smell that makes Hideki Hanyu's scalp numb, will go straight into Hideki Hanyu's nose.

How could Hideki Hanyu, who had just enjoyed the fragrant "ball flower", bear this?

But the other party has a typical third brother personality, feels good about himself, and is so enthusiastic that he can be called shameless. Even though Hanyu Hideki's attitude has been very cold, this guy still keeps getting closer to Hanyu Hideki, as if he wants to discuss big business with Hanyu Hideki.

Finally, Hideki Hanyu couldn't stand it anymore. Fearing that he would lose his temper if he continued to waste time, he found an excuse to escape to the backstage after entertaining the dealer representatives, and finally saved his nose.

As for the big business the other party is talking about?

Hideki Hanyu just laughed and didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, it is already well known that the third brother likes to exaggerate when doing business in later generations.

When they buy your product worth one million, they will want your service worth ten million.

The most important thing is that if you make a mistake, you won’t even be able to collect the one million yuan in payment.

Despite India's large population, it was also carrying out social and economic reforms in full swing during this period, with an attitude of vigorously developing for the happiness of its people.

But Hideki Hanyu, who has memories of future generations, knows it very well.

Whatever Third Brother looks like now, he will look the same in a few decades.

It cannot be said that there is no consumption capacity, but it is best to divide the population by 10 before making any calculations.

The most crucial thing is that after the publicity on the Internet in later generations, India’s business reputation is basically the same as that of South Korea, which can be described as "being criticized by everyone."

If we say that Hideki Hanyu treats South Korea with contempt from the bottom of his heart.

Facing his third brother, Hanyu Hideki was speechless.

It is really hard to describe the fact that Asia has these two talented people, one at the highest and the other at the lowest.

Hideki Hanyu, who was in the backstage, finally took a breath and prepared to say goodbye to Qian Yuan Zhensheng.

When he came just now, he seemed to see EA's president Trip Hawkins, and he planned to go and have a chat with him.

Hideki Hanyu received news that this guy has been getting a little close to people on Wall Street recently, and Hideki Hanyu really wants to know what Tripp Hawkins is thinking.

Could it be that they are planning to transform from a game company to a capital company like in another time and space, and then completely change from pursuing the art of games to becoming an American penguin that will do anything for profit?

To be honest, Hideki Hanyu doesn't want EA to become like another time and space.

However, when he invested in EA, he also assured Trip Hawkins that he would not interfere in the management of EA.

Therefore, even if he cannot stop it, the benefits cannot fall into the hands of outsiders, as he does have investment companies on Wall Street.

If you want regular troops, you have regular troops. If you want vests, you have vests.

If Trip Hawkins wanted to cooperate, he wouldn't mind letting America Entertainment Investments come out for a spin.

Thinking about what he would say when he met Tripp Hawkins later, Hideki Hanyu took out his hat to cover up.

As a result, at this moment, Maemoto Shinsei suddenly rushed into the backstage excitedly and said to Hanyu Hideki with a happy face.

"President, I have good news!"

For some reason, when Hanyu Hideki heard Maemoto Shinsei say there was good news, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Thinking back to the time when Yuan Zhensheng was receiving those dealer representatives, a figure that made Hanyu Hideki shiver emerged in his mind.

So he hurriedly asked, "Good news? Are you going to tell me that someone has placed a big order for you?"

"The president is really good at predicting things!"

Qian Yuan Zhensheng first flattered him and then began to explain.

"The dealer representatives we just met with basically only reached order intentions, but one dealer representative directly confirmed that he wanted to place a large order..."

When Hanyu Hideki heard what Qian Yuan Zhensheng said, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The image of a certain third brother became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Then, as the saying goes, what you fear will come true.

Qian Yuan Zhensheng continued to speak, and only his excited expression could be heard.

"The person who placed the order was the dealer representative from India. He placed an order of 20 million US dollars in one go. If this order is successful, our sales market in India will be opened.

According to his own introduction, his trading company is affiliated with the Tata Group, with a distribution network throughout all states in India, and is very powerful..."

"stop!"

Hideki Hanyu stopped Masao Masao from telling his story without even waiting for him to finish.

Hanyu Hideki regarded what Masao Masayuki said, the words of the Indian dealer representative, as complete bragging and did not believe a single word of it.

A subsidiary of the Tata Group?

He doesn't even trust the Tata Group, let alone its subsidiaries.

Moreover, he was 100% sure that the guy was just trying to gain a reputation and had nothing to do with the Tata Group. With this mentality, he was naturally not moved when he heard about the so-called large order.

He just asked Qian Yuan Zhensheng a question after calling a halt.

"Did he say how he planned to pay?"

"Payment?"

Qian Yuan Zhensheng looked puzzled, wondering if the president was not very clear about the company's payment model?

But seeing Hanyu Hideki's serious look, he still explained carefully, "We will follow the model of the first cooperation. According to the total amount of the order, a fixed percentage of the advance payment will be paid..."

After hearing this, Hanyu Hideki interrupted Qian Yuanzhensheng again without hesitation.

"Regarding the cooperation with this Indian distributor, I will give you two suggestions now."

When Hanyu Hideki said the word "suggestion", his tone was particularly strong.

A smart person will know immediately that this is not a "suggestion" at all, but an "order".

Normally, he would not interfere so specifically and directly in the actual work of this kind of elf entertainment.

But the problem now involves India, a country with almost zero goodwill. If he does not intervene, he will have to wait for compensation.

Is Qian Yuan Zhensheng a smart person?
Of course, so he immediately realized Hanyu Hideki's seriousness, the excitement on his face disappeared, and he began to listen carefully.

"First, we directly reject the order and ask them to find other distributors to get the goods. We will not deal with them directly.

Second, let them pay the full amount, and then we will provide them with the goods. This is not just for this time, but for all future cooperations.”

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Masao Masao was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected that Hideki Hanyu would be so "harsh" in treating the Indian dealer.

But Hanyu Hideki was too lazy to explain the doubts to Masao Masao.

After all, even in later times, when the Internet is so developed, there are still a large number of manufacturers in China that are deceived by Indian businessmen.

What's more, in this era when media information is not well developed, many people don't even have a basic concept of that country.

Therefore, he did not expect Qian Yuan Zhensheng to understand what he said.

He only needs Qian Yuan Zhensheng, and even the entire Elf Entertainment Sales Department, to strictly follow his instructions when facing the Indian market.

Hanyu Hideki asked in a serious tone, "Do you remember what I said?"

"remember."

Although Masao Masaharu didn't understand, he didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal when facing Hanyu Hideki who was serious.

"Carry out my message to the entire Elf Entertainment Sales Department.

Oh yes, there is one more point that is also very important.

This is not only true for this Indian distributor. If there are other merchants from there in the future, or if they want to ship to India and surrounding countries, such as ****, they will all follow the same cooperation method. "

Hideki Hanyu added again.

Indian merchants in later generations used all kinds of ways to cheat people. If you didn't want to lose money, you had to put up with their promises or simply refuse to cooperate.

Anyway, Hideki Hanyu is not interested in the small market in India.

"Yes, President."

Qian Yuan Zhensheng bowed deeply.

"Go ahead, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he put on his hat, left the backstage, and went straight to the EA booth.

But when he arrived at the EA booth, he didn't see EA President Trip Hawkins.

After asking the staff, I learned that EA's media conference was held this afternoon, and Trip Hawkins had already gone to the main booth.

Hideki Hanyu thought about it and went to the main booth again.

But when I arrived, I found out that the person hosting the EA media conference was not Trip Hawkins, but was sitting in the audience watching the rehearsal.

As for why media conferences need to be rehearsed?

That's entirely because EA's definition of this media conference is completely different from that of other manufacturers. Trip Hawkins has prepared a complete program for everyone.

For example, the beach volleyball game that will be launched on the PS2 console soon invited a group of models to play COSPLAY in bikinis at the main booth.

The scene was exactly the same as the entertainment exhibitions of later generations, which made Hideki Hanyu exclaim that it was so advanced.

In the audience, Hideki Hanyu, who was already sitting next to Tripp Hawkins, looked at the bikini girls walking around on the stage and gave them a thumbs up in praise.

"Tripp, that's really generous."

Trip Hawkins smirked.

"I think it's good, but this is advice from a friend of mine. He believes that games are also a form of media, so we must follow the operating rules of the media, which is to find explosive points for the game so that the influence of the game can spread quickly."

"Your friend has a very unique idea," commented Hanyu Hideki.

"He is a very capable businessman and very famous on Wall Street. If you have time, I can introduce you to him."

After hearing what Tripp Hawkins said, Hanyu Hideki thought that he was indeed from Wall Street.

"No problem. I like making friends with talented people."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he was about to talk further with Tripp Hawkins when he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, this model looks familiar."

Hideki Hanyu asked, pointing at a model with golden curly hair, wearing a two-piece bikini, with youthful beauty and a sexy figure.

Tripp Hawkins looked in the direction Hanyu Hideki pointed, thought for a moment, and then answered.

“Her name is Cindy Crawford. Two years ago, she posed for the cover of Playboy, which caused quite a stir. Now she is very famous in the American modeling circle and is also the host of a fashion show on MTV.

The stage company suggested inviting her, saying that she could help bring heat to the press conference, but the price of inviting her is not cheap. Not only does she have to pay for round-trip transportation, food and lodging here, but she also has to pay a performance fee of 50,000 US dollars. "

"It turned out to be her."

After hearing what Tripp Hawkins said, Hideki Hanyu immediately remembered who the person in front of him was. After all, the mole on the left side of the other person's mouth was so recognizable.

As America's top supermodel in the 1990s, he had heard a lot about her in his previous life.

"Does sir know her?" Tripp Hawkins asked casually.

"No, but I met her at a charity dinner in New York last year."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"She didn't have blonde hair at the time, and she was sitting on the lap of a friend of mine when I saw her."
