Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 897 Believe in Our Friendship

Hideki Hanyu is eager to recruit talents for Elf Entertainment.

Meet supermodel beauty Cindy Crawford, who is full of confidence and has a purpose.

What will happen?

"sorry sir……"

"Go on!"

This was the response Cindy Crawford got when she came up to her.

It’s not Hideki Hanyu’s fault.

At other times, when faced with a beautiful woman who comes to his doorstep, the scumbag definitely wouldn't mind having some fun and pretending to be nice to her.

But now he is concentrating on chatting with Larry Probst about the future development of the gaming industry and the other party's views on corporate development.

Especially some of the other party’s insights, such as leading companies should be more inclined to build platforms rather than worry about subtle gains and losses.

Or they should take advantage of their first-mover advantage, continuously expand their sphere of influence, and strengthen their own business moat.

These statements are very much to Hideki Hanyu's liking, making him appreciate him even more.

As a result, at this moment, Cindy Crawford, who was holding a wine glass, used extremely exaggerated acting skills, accidentally slipped her high heels, cried out sorry, and bumped into Hanyu Hideki.

Naturally, Hanyu Hideki couldn't be in a good mood when his conversation was interrupted.

Cindy Crawford didn't react for a moment and stood there with an awkward expression, not knowing what to do for a moment. After all, she had always relied on her beauty to have success among men, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

I really wanted to say something, but when I thought about who was in front of me, I couldn't say anything.

At the same time, Tripp Hawkins, who was not far away, had an expression no better than Cindy Crawford.

Isn’t it said that Hideki Hanyu is a playboy?
Just now at the exhibition, when Hideki Hanyu was watching the performance at the main booth, he was clearly very interested in Cindy Crawford?
So why did things turn out like this?

He wanted to get closer to Hideki Hanyu, so he took the opportunity to introduce this woman to Hideki Hanyu.

But looking at the current situation, it seems like it's going to be a mess.

When did Larry Probst, an old man, become more attractive than Cindy Crawford, a beautiful woman?

Trip Hawkins was really puzzled.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, Tripp Hawkins knew that this matter had to be resolved immediately.

The first thing he did was look at Larry Probst for help.

After receiving the "signal" from his boss, Larry Probst looked at Hideki Hanyu in front of him and Cindy Crawford who was standing at a loss beside him. As a senior executive who worked his way up from the bottom in sales, he instantly understood what his boss meant.

He immediately said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu.

"Sir, I have a client who just arrived and I have some work to discuss. Please excuse me for now."

What clients and work? Of course, that was just Larry Probst's excuse.

Now, because he has affected the boss's plan and the hunting of beauty by the big boss Hideki Hanyu, he naturally needs to find a reason to leave and create opportunities for the big boss.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki could only let the person go with regret.

But before leaving, he still said, "We can talk again when we have time. I am very interested in Mr. Larry's insights into the gaming industry."

“It is an honor to be recognized by Mr. Hanyu.”

At this moment, Larry Probst had naturally seen through Hideki Hanyu's thoughts.

Of course he was very happy that Hideki Hanyu wanted to recruit him.

After all, people always strive for higher goals, and compared with EA, Genie Entertainment is undoubtedly at a higher place.

As for whether to change jobs?
That depends on what kind of treatment Hanyu Hideki can offer, not only the salary, but also the commitment to future career development.

Of course, even if Larry Probst wanted to change jobs, he would have to wait until EA went public and reaped the benefits of the company's listing before he could be open and honest with Trip Hawkins.

After all, EA and Elf Entertainment have a special relationship. Even if he changes jobs, they will still meet each other sooner or later. It is impossible for him to ruin the relationship.

Larry Probst, who was thinking about his future development, had unknowingly distanced himself from Hanyu Hideki.

But even after Larry Probst left, Hideki Hanyu still ignored Cindy Crawford next to him.

After entering the room, Hideki Hanyu was busy chatting with Larry Probst and didn't eat anything. He felt a little hungry at this time.

EA's celebration banquet was in the form of a buffet with a rich variety of dishes. Hideki Hanyu took a plate and took some beef and lobster, ready to replenish his energy.

After all, I spent the whole night with Akina Nakamori and the little fairy last night, and today I spent the whole morning talking about "serious matters" with Monica Bellucci in the room.

Even though he has a monstrous physique, he still needs to replenish his energy.

However, Hideki Hanyu also noticed that while he was carrying the plate to get the food, Cindy Crawford was following him.

Even when he sat down and started to eat, Cindy Crawford didn't even bother to pretend and just sat down at the table with him with a glass of juice.

Hideki Hanyu was concentrating on eating and ignored the other person.

Cindy Crawford didn't give up either and just stared at Hideki Hanyu.

However, although the woman was looking at Hanyu Hideki, the emotions reflected in her eyes were full of desire for success and ambition for her career.

It is clear that she knows exactly what Hanyu Hideki represents.

She knows how much it will help her career if she can get the favor of Hideki Hanyu.

This is also the reason why, when Tripp Hawkins approached Cindy Crawford after she finished her work at the exhibition and said that he would give her the opportunity to get close to Hideki Hanyu, she agreed to come without hesitation.

Although it was her first encounter with Hideki Hanyu, things were a little beyond Cindy Crawford's expectations.

But she still didn't intend to give up.

Who can blame this man who is the richest man in the world? He is powerful in the global entertainment and media industry, and the luxury goods industry he controls is a super giant in the fashion world.

Any one of them is enough to drive a woman who desires fame and fortune crazy.

When all these are put together, they are still owned by such an outstanding man.

For Cindy Crawford alone, even a glimmer of hope is enough to make her willing to let Hideki Hanyu have whatever he wants.

After a long time, Hanyu Hideki seemed to be getting a little impatient with being stared at.

He finally looked up and asked Cindy Crawford, "What do you want to do?"

Cindy Crawford finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Seeing that Hanyu Hideki finally paid attention to her, she quickly got up and sat on the chair next to Hanyu Hideki.

With a smile on her face, she whispered to Hanyu Hideki, "I will do whatever you want me to do."

Hanyu Hideki sneered, "Haha, you really are like a female hook in heat."

Who would have thought that even after being told that by him, Cindy Crawford remained neither ashamed nor annoyed, but instead moved closer to Hanyu Hideki, her voice becoming smaller and more seductive.

"That's because I saw Mr.

"You really deserve it!"

"Please help me, sir..."

As for what happened next?
Hideki Hanyu said that as a kind-hearted person, it is impossible for him to not help others when he sees them in trouble.

Since Cindy Crawford has a need, he must take action to solve it.

That night, Mr. Hanyu booked an additional suite at the MGM Hotel.

Then Cindy Crawford once again proved with her actions that the scumbag was right about the supermodel.

He can afford to play, let go, do whatever he is told, and the flattery and pleasing in bed provide Hideki Hanyu with full emotional value.

Then he accidentally took the game too far.

As a result, the next morning, Hideki Hanyu got up and went to the airport, but Cindy Crawford was still so tired that she fell into a deep sleep and didn't even know when Hideki Hanyu left.

In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce on the way to the airport, Hideki Hanyu was holding a notebook and suddenly wrote "BIG 5 3/5" on it.

Monica Bellucci, who was sitting next to Hanyu Hideki, saw this and asked curiously, "Is this a work plan?"

“Just a little creative inspiration.”

Hideki Hanyu just found an excuse to deal with it. It is convenient to be a writer. If there is no reason for some things, he can explain them by saying that he was out collecting materials or had a sudden inspiration.

As for what Hideki Hanyu wrote, it is indeed a plan, but it has nothing to do with work.

This is a scumbag's stamp collecting plan for the five supermodels of the 5s, known as the "BIG ".

Judging from the progress, the scumbag has successfully collected stamps from three of the five supermodels.

As for the remaining two people.

Naomi Campbell, the "bitch-like" actress, has now become famous in Europe and has developed quite well in the film and television industry. A-E International has cooperated with her many times.

Before facing this black beauty, Hideki Hanyu didn't have any thoughts.

But since he tasted the black beauty named Demi Vera on the plane, Hanyu Hideki thought it was not impossible to give it a try.

The last BIG 5 supermodel is Christy Turlington. She is of Latin descent and is the one among the BIG 5 supermodels whose appearance most meets Hideki Hanyu's aesthetic standards.

(Photo by Christy Turlington)
However, this model was born in a wealthy family, had excellent character and academic performance since childhood, and also learned equestrianism, a sport that is difficult for ordinary people to get involved in. She entered the modeling circle because of accident and interest, not for fame and fortune like other supermodels.

At the age of sixteen, Christie Turlington signed a contract with the American version of Vogue magazine.

At the age of 18, Christie Turlington won a $1.2 million perfume endorsement contract from CK.

If history had gone its own way, Christy Turlington would be interviewed by Time magazine next year when she turns 22.

Immediately afterwards, Maybelline's $200 million advertising contract would push Christy Turlington's career to its peak, helping her annual income reach $ million.

Although in Hideki Hanyu's opinion, three million US dollars is not a lot, it is not enough to cover the annual usage fee of his private jet.

But this number is enough to make Christy Turlington the highest-earning model in the world.

However, at this time, at the peak of her career, Christie Turlington, who was only 25 years old, suddenly chose to retire, bid farewell to her modeling career, and chose to study at New York University.

Then, accidentally, because she liked yoga in college, she became the unofficial spokesperson for yoga worldwide.

It is obviously not an easy thing for a scumbag to want to marry a rational woman like Ji Stamp who knows what she wants.

Because his previous methods of using fame and fortune as bait to deal with women probably wouldn't have much effect on this person.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki is not one of those men who have nothing to offer except money. A scumbag can be said to have both good looks and inner qualities.

There is no need to say much about appearance.

If he wants, literature, art, Eastern religion and philosophy, even yoga...

He knew a thing or two about anything that interested Christy Turlington.

With a little effort and time, he believed that he would eventually succeed in collecting stamps.

But the problem is that what Hideki Hanyu lacks most now is time.

And after getting used to the fast pace, he no longer had the heart to engage in "pure love" with women.

And once you seduce this kind of woman, it will be difficult to get rid of her.

Nowadays, it is impossible for a scumbag man to give up a well-maintained fish pond for a tree.

So in his opinion, perhaps his "BIG 5" stamp collecting plan will end in regret because of Christy Turlington.

However, as the car arrived at the airport, Hanyu Hideki immediately put this unimportant regret behind him.

When you think about what you’re going to face next, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she’s not worth mentioning.

After entering the airport, Hideki Hanyu and Monica Bellucci parted ways.

The ball flower will not go to Arkansas with him this time, but will return to Los Angeles to take care of her daughter, and by the way continue to review the previous work of the secretary's office and reorganize and clean up the entire secretary's office.

Although Hideki Hanyu does not intend to entrust the North American Secretary's Office with important tasks, the matters assigned to it are mostly daily liaison work.

But just because he doesn't take it seriously doesn't mean he will sit idly by and watch others interfere with his plans.

After saying goodbye to Monica Bellucci, Hideki Hanyu contacted Washington for the last time. After learning that Karl Map had already set off, he immediately boarded the "Clouds".

April 29th, 10:00 AM

The "Clouds" takes off from McCarran International Airport.

After three and a half hours of flight, the "Clouds" landed at Little Rock National Airport, the capital of Arkansas.

Hideki Hanyu came to Little Rock this time ostensibly to investigate his investment here.

For example, Blockbuster's storage base, Cisco's South Central America assembly center, and a logistics center that Elf Entertainment invested in last year.

Hideki Hanyu, who knows the future well, appears to be investing in Arkansas.

In reality, it's an investment in the people who run Arkansas today.

For Hideki Hanyu, the 1990s was the most important transition period in his career.

Whether it can break through the current heights, take Neon's strength and influence to a higher level, and gradually transform into behind-the-scenes capital internationally, it will require the ride of the Internet revolution.

The governor of Arkansas, who personally promoted the American national "information superhighway" plan, is the most critical figure among them.

It is also because of this that he has been generous in his investments here over the past few years.

In addition to the company investments mentioned earlier, he also personally invested in a number of projects with poor or even no returns.

However, these projects, whether private or public, have greatly enhanced the personal reputation of those in charge of the state capital, and have directly or indirectly helped them to improve their qualifications and political achievements.

In fact, many times, as long as the governor expresses his intention, such as wanting to improve a certain problem, Hanyu Hideki will invest without hesitation, without considering whether he can make a profit.

Over the years, the two sides have already formed an unspoken understanding.

And Hideki Hanyu has become an important supporter hidden behind the other party and the most trusted "financial sponsor".

Of course, due to his identity and the fact that the timing is not right, all of this will not be done directly by Hideki Hanyu.

This is also the reason why, although Hideki Hanyu came here for the other party, he still used work as an excuse.

Even Hideki Hanyu chose to come today not on a whim, but because he learned that the governor had left Arkansas the day before yesterday and went to the East Coast to attend a week-long organizational meeting.

This perfectly missed the chance for them to meet.

Hideki Hanyu, who made a public visit, was warmly welcomed by local representatives from all walks of life upon arriving at Little Rock National Airport.

This includes the real target of Hideki Hanyu's trip, the governor's wife with outstanding temperament.

After the welcome at the airport, Hideki Hanyu immediately began his ostensible work schedule, inspecting Blockbuster and Elf Entertainment's storage and logistics center in just one afternoon.

As the sun sets and it approaches evening, Hideki Hanyu, who has finished work, checks into the hotel seemingly normally.

However, as soon as he entered the hotel room, Marco whispered an address to him.

"Boss, this is the safe house we prepared."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Did the other party respond?"

Marco nodded, "The other party said he would definitely come."

"Then set off immediately."

As Hanyu Hideki said this, he opened the box and began to change into the clothes he had prepared long ago.

While changing clothes, he reminded Marco, "Since we are acting, we have to do it in its entirety. Help me prepare some things..."

……

In front of a single-family apartment in a middle-class community in Little Rock.

Wearing black-framed glasses, jeans and a sweatshirt, Hanyu Hideki, who looked like a young college student, pushed the door open with a plastic bag in hand.

This is the safe house that Marco mentioned.

The plastic bag in his hand was what he had asked Marco to prepare.

The bags contain a variety of vegetables, meats, ingredients, and condiments.

At this time, it was already getting dark outside. After entering the house, Hideki Hanyu found the kitchen and started to cook a Chinese dinner with these ingredients.

By the time it was completely dark outside and the street lights came on one by one, Hideki Hanyu's dinner was almost ready.

Taking into account the eating habits of the guests, Hanyu Hideki prepared sweet, light and non-spicy dishes.

Just as Hanyu Hideki brought a plate of sweet and sour pork to the table, the sound of the door lock being turned was heard at the door.

Then, the governor's wife, who was dressed quite modestly, walked into the room carrying her bag.

Just looking at her look, she looks like a working woman who just got home from overtime.

Hideki Hanyu took the initiative to walk forward, took the bag from the other person's hand, and praised him in a familiar manner.

"Ma'am, I must admit that you have become more beautiful since the last time I saw you."

Although the governor's wife is already 43 years old, her natural beauty and acquired maintenance make her look like she still has charm.

The visitor replied in a delighted tone, "Really? It must be because my recent weight loss has been effective."

"I think you are perfect the way you are now. You don't need to lose weight at all."

While Hanyu Hideki was speaking sweet words, he had already led the visitor to the dining table.

Looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, the governor's wife immediately showed surprise, "Did you make this yourself?"

"Of course, I hope the madam will like it."

As Hanyu Hideki said this, he took the initiative to pull out a chair for his opponent and made a gesture of invitation.

"Then I'll be welcome. I happened to be in a hurry and haven't had dinner yet."

The governor's wife sat down and selected the sweet and sour pork with the most tempting color, took a bite, and then said with a look of surprise.

"I like the taste, but I feel like if I eat too much, my recent weight loss efforts will fail."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. A little exercise after eating can actually help you lose weight."

"really?"

“This is science.”

"Do you have any white wine? I think it goes well with this dish."

"Of course there is..."

Although they were two people with different purposes, the way they were dining and talking in the house looked like familiar friends chatting.

Hanyu Hideki, who knows the future well, knows very well that this seemingly enthusiastic woman in front of him is more skilled and capable than her husband.

So even though the atmosphere seemed good, he was still very careful when speaking.

And while being careful, he gradually revealed the purpose of this trip.

Then he learned a truth that annoyed him.

It was the Donkey Party, to which the governor belonged, that secretly investigated him and even took away documents kept in the secretary's office.

The purpose of doing this, of course, is to deal with the leader of the Xiang Party at that time.

By investigating everyone and everything related to the President, and then taking the opportunity to attack him, it will have a negative impact on the midterm elections in November this year.

At this time, the Governor of Arkansas has been elected Chairman of the Supreme Council of the American Donkey Party.

Therefore, the other party not only knew about the investigation into Hanyu Hideki, but also acquiesced to it.

This is also why Hideki Hanyu is angry.

But even though Hanyu Hideki concealed it well on the surface, the governor's wife seemed to sense Hanyu Hideki's emotions and immediately advised him in a gentle tone.

"I hope you can understand our decision. After all, your company did support each other for a period of time before, even though we all knew it was necessary.

We all trust you very much and hope you believe in our friendship. We will not let our friends down."

The governor's wife said this, taking out several documents from her bag and pushing them in front of Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki took a closer look and found that these were exactly the documents that were lost from his secretary's office.

After a moment, he reached out and pressed the document, then slowly uttered a sentence.

"I believe in our friendship, too."
