Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 898 You Overestimate Them, and Underestimate Them
It was already early in the morning when Hideki Hanyu returned to the hotel.

After returning to the room, looking at Marco who was about to leave, Hanyu Hideki suddenly took out the document that the governor's wife had returned to him and asked Marco.

"She gave this back to me, what do you think?"

At this point, as someone close to Hideki Hanyu, Marco naturally knew about the missing documents in the secretary's office.

But he didn't know what happened in the safe house tonight.

Did Hideki Hanyu stay in there for so long just to get this document back?
He also didn't understand why Hideki Hanyu asked him this question.

He tried to answer based on his experience.

"This may be the original, but they must have kept copies."

But after hearing what Marco said, Hanyu Hideki smiled strangely and shook his head.

"You overestimate them, and underestimate them."

If we think in a normal way, it is certainly correct to think this way.

But when it comes to these politicians, things are not so simple.

These people are sometimes very good at what they do.

But sometimes the mistakes we make can be so low-level that they make people laugh.

Take the example of the governor's wife returning the documents to him today.

In order to win the midterm elections, the Democratic Party secretly investigated people who had contact with the current president, and the governor and his wife, whom he had always supported, acquiesced to the incident falling on him.

If the investigation really uncovers something and they find evidence against the current commander-in-chief, then this document will definitely not be taken out in the safe house tonight.

Even the governor's wife won't show up.

The fledgling governor and his wife may hesitate for the sake of their political future because of Hanyu Hideki's past help.

But the final outcome must be to choose to use Hideki Hanyu to attack the opponent.

And this is the necessary quality for a politician who can reach the pinnacle of American power.

But since the governor's wife chose to meet Hanyu Hideki tonight, she even returned the lost documents from the secretary's office.

This only proves one thing, that is, they did not find any "material" in these documents that could be used to use Hideki Hanyu to attack the current president during the midterm elections.

Is there any problem with Hideki Hanyu's "charitable donations"?

Anyone who knows the business will know there is a problem at first glance.

To put it bluntly, it is to make donations to politicians and political forces under the guise of charity and various foundations.

But the so-called "problem" is America's own rules of the game, which are normal and legal.

Both the donkey and the elephant are doing this. Using this to attack the opponent is equivalent to attacking themselves.

And if we take it seriously, in the end Hideki Hanyu is still the victim.

After all, he donated money for "charity", but these organizations enriched themselves in the name of charity, which is something Hideki Hanyu has no control over.

So, Hanyu Hideki knew that he had no problem at all.

It was precisely because there was no problem that the file was returned to him.

There is absolutely no need for the person who took these files to back up such files, which Hideki Hanyu would not care about even if he made them public.

And this is what Hideki Hanyu said, this is the reason why Marco underestimated these people, and this is also the brilliance of these people.

As for the second sentence, it looks down on these people.

In Hideki Hanyu's opinion, although these guys are smart, they often make a lot of low-level mistakes and stupid behaviors that make people laugh and cry.

For example, in a certain election in later generations, Ying Zong was so aggressive and seemed to be the chosen one.

As a result, the "activities" were so thorough that people felt that the guy's team was a complete makeshift group.

In fact, many times, these so-called elites, for the sake of their own interests and personal desires, become even more greedy and stupid than ordinary people.

Not to mention far away.

Just now, in that safe house.

After explaining the "misunderstanding" to Hideki Hanyu, the governor's wife finally called her husband who was far away on the East Coast.

Even to prove their friendship with Hideki Hanyu, the phone call did not avoid Hideki Hanyu.

But in the end, when Mr. Hanyu vaguely heard a woman's moan from the phone, the governor's wife's face instantly darkened, and she immediately avoided Hanyu Hideki and went to the next room to answer the phone.

Unfortunately, the sound insulation of this American-style house is not good enough, and Hideki Hanyu still heard some words, which seemed to be some disputes.

It can be seen that the Governor's days of meetings on the East Coast are quite colorful.

Hideki Hanyu was not surprised by this.

After all, whether Mr. Governor is in college, serving as governor, or becoming the president in the future, he is a guy who can't control his own pants.

He has had a lot of extramarital affairs exposed, and he particularly likes to harass his female subordinates and ask them to do unspeakable things for him. Lewinsky, who caused his downfall in the White House, is a typical example.

And this is just what has been exposed, and we don’t know how much more has not been exposed.

Of course, the governor is like this, and his wife is no pushover either.

For example, the rumor that the daughter is not her biological daughter is widely circulated overseas.

It is not known whether Hideki Hanyu’s previous life was true or false, but in this time and space, he had seen their daughter with his own eyes in Little Rock.

If we only comment on appearance, there is indeed a big difference.

It was hard for him to imagine that with their looks, they could give birth to such an ugly daughter.

Of course, in later life, the story of the governor's wife having a "secret meeting" with Leo on an island was also spread with details.

Judging from Hanyu Hideki's understanding of the upper class after his time travel, it is not surprising that the other party would do such a thing. You never know what shocking faces these people have hidden under their hypocritical masks.

Besides, is it any new news that these two people are playing their own games?
What's more, he has more definite proof.

For example, in the safe house just now, the governor's wife came out after making a phone call and suddenly put a vinyl record in the record player in the living room. Then, when the music started, she directly invited him to dance with her.

"Some things are easier to talk about if they are covered up by music."

This is the governor's wife's reason.

Hideki Hanyu originally thought that after the other party contacted the governor, he would have something special to tell him.

But when Hanyu Hideki really took the governor's wife's arm and started dancing, the other party's first words were.

"Sir, you dance really well."

Hanyu Hideki said politely, "Thank you for the compliment, ma'am. When I was young, I studied dance professionally because of my mother."

The governor's wife suddenly realized, "I see. I'm not a good dancer. It was hard for me to get my previous dance partners to move me along. But this time, I felt very relaxed dancing with you, my husband."

Hanyu Hideki continued politely, "Actually, my wife dances very well."

Of course he was lying.

The governor's wife's dancing skills are indeed terrible, just like her personality: strong, rational, rigid, and uninteresting.

Hideki Hanyu was able to lead the opponent thanks to his strong body and abundant strength, and he relied on his strength to support the opponent to dance.

It was Hideki Hanyu who was struggling, no wonder the opponent felt it was easy.

However, after saying this, the other party asked immediately.

"Can I call you Seraphim?"

"Of course." When Hanyu Hideki agreed, he already felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Didn't I say that I would use music to cover up some things that are inconvenient to say?

Why haven't you gotten to the point for so long?

Even the other person's tone is becoming more and more strange, as if he is flirting?
Sure enough, the governor's wife's next words began to confirm Hanyu Hideki's feelings.

"You can call me by my name, too."

Before Hanyu Hideki could answer, the other party continued.

"Seraphim, have I ever told you that you are really handsome and my type of boy?"

Faced with such words, Hideki Hanyu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

However, the next moment, the other party seemed to unintentionally put his hand on his chest muscle, and then pretended to be surprised and said.

"Seraphim, you are stronger than I thought."

At that moment, Hanyu Hideki saw very complicated emotions in the eyes of the governor's wife.

A mixture of desire, anger, determination, and a hint of madness resulting from the collapse of reason.

It was obvious that the woman had developed a desire to take revenge on her husband after answering the phone call and being stimulated by the governor's happy night life on the East Coast.

And he just happened to become the other party's tool for revenge.

Hideki Hanyu's first reaction was that in terms of appearance, he was much better than Leonardo DiCaprio at his peak, but he was not Leonardo DiCaprio after all.

Even if you are the future first wife, you can't use him as a tool.

But then again, this couple had tricked him before, so shouldn't he retaliate?
……

Retracting his thoughts from the previous memories, Hanyu Hideki gave instructions to Marco.

"We'll finish our trip tomorrow morning and leave Little Rock in the afternoon."

"Didn't you plan to stay for three days? Why are you leaving so soon?"

Marco sounded confused.

For some reason, he had the illusion that Hanyu Hideki wanted to escape from Little Rock.

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow."

Hideki Hanyu did not explain why, but made the decision directly and then arranged the subsequent itinerary.

"We'll go to Las Vegas first, wait for E3 to end, and then return to Neon with the others. You and Chiba Kaoru will make the itinerary arrangements."

Now that the E3 exhibition has been changed into a media exhibition, the duration of the exhibition has been shortened again and again, from the earliest one week to only four days left this year.

So the E3 exhibition, which opened on the th of this month, will come to an end tomorrow.

Hideki Hanyu will return to Las Vegas tomorrow, just in time for the closing ceremony.

As for why they returned to Neon after the end instead of staying in America.

The main reason is that there are some things in Neon that he has to handle personally.

First of all, Naito Haruko's integration of Crescent Moon Trading has entered the final stage, and he will definitely get involved and give some guidance on the business.

Although he trusted Naito Haruko's ability, he could not trust anyone when it came to grasping the future market, and he had to make arrangements himself to feel at ease.

Simply put, if you want to develop and expand a new comprehensive trading company in Japan today, the fastest way is to take advantage of domestic development.

Especially when the current international environment is not good for the domestic situation.

In addition, he has been doing business in the country for many years, and now engaging in international trade is the best opportunity to provide timely assistance.

In addition to this, there is another very important thing, that is, he arranged for Eiichi Kampo to end the first phase of the "operation" to collapse the Neon bubble economy and the stock market.

After years of preparation and advance planning, and busy work over the past few months, Hideki Hanyu has naturally reaped a lot of rewards.

However, this "harvest" refers to comprehensive harvest.

If we only look at the changes in funds, Hideki Hanyu even "lost money".

After all, the most important purpose of Hideki Hanyu's "operation" this time is actually similar to what he asked Liu Luanxiong to do in Taiwan.

That is to take advantage of the crisis to provide "bottom line" to high-quality companies.

For example, Japan's "Dajin Industries", Taiwan's "Hongtai Finance" and so on...

Judging from the current stock market trend, he certainly lost money by doing this.

But if he takes a longer-term view, extending it to five, ten, or even fifteen years, then all these investments will bring him returns beyond imagination.

As a time traveler, Hideki Hanyu will definitely choose a longer-term future.

Now that he has a huge amount of liquid funds, what he worries most is that if the money is not spent, it will continue to depreciate over time.

He has a lot of investment directions in his mind, but the problem is that investment is easy to say but difficult to do. It takes a lot of experience and time. After all, why should others accept your money?
As for starting your own business?
Hideki Hanyu really wanted to say stop joking, all his current companies would be so numerous that the names of the companies alone could not be written on an A4 paper, and he really was overwhelmed.

In this situation, what could be easier to enter the market and invest than when the stock market plummets and a large number of companies fall into crisis and he appears as a savior?

Compared with these once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities, making money simply by taking advantage of the stock market crash is really not worth mentioning.

So now that the first phase of the "operation" is over, Hideki Hanyu did the math and found that after deducting all the "expenses", the funds he controlled were one-third less than before he entered the stock market.

You have to know that before he took action, the funds he withdrew from the Japanese stock market and real estate market, plus the numbers held by several overseas investment companies and fund vests, as well as the newly established Keystone Bank, were almost catching up with his apparent net worth at the time.

So one third is already an astronomical figure, enough to buy another Universal Pictures.

However, if used in other places, such as the operation that the American Sky Soldiers are about to launch in the Gulf, it will only be enough to sustain them for three or four days.

Of course, not all of this money was spent in Japan and Taiwan, a lot was also spent in America.

In the acquisition of Universal Pictures, although America Entertainment Investments' investment in Genie Entertainment paid the lion's share, he also invested a portion under a pseudonym.

We will continue to buy Microsoft shares and absorb shares of some other companies.

For example, Apple, which has been making steady progress, or Oracle, whose stock price has been rising steadily.

In addition to these, Neon has another thing that needs his attention.

That is, the Honma bribery case, which has been investigated and tried for so long, has finally come to an end.

The shares that were originally held by Honma and others and were frozen due to the case, have been confirmed to be returned to Hanyu Hideki's pocket despite the complicated debt relationship.

But he will not be able to rest assured until the final handover is completed.

Moreover, after the case is over, he must personally arrange the fate of Honma and others.

These guys have been hiding in dark corners and plotting against him for so long. How can it be enough for him to just accept the not-so-light punishment from the authorities?

Now that the heat of the case has passed, these guys' foundation in the local area has been greatly weakened. Given the trouble they have caused, he is definitely not the only one who wants Honma and others to pay the price.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki looked up and found that Marco had left at some point.

Picking up the document in front of him, Hideki Hanyu put it into his bag.

Then, he took out a small DV camera from the bag he was carrying when he came back, took out a tape from it, and carefully put it into the compartment of his bag.

As he closed his bag, Hanyu Hideki took one last look at the tape.

He murmured to himself with a slightly regretful tone.

"It's a pity that today's camera technology is still not clear enough."
