Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 936 Quick decision
Daisetsuzan Asahidake.

The most famous mountain climbing spot around Asahikawa City.

Although it is only more than 2,000 meters above sea level, it is known as the roof of Hokkaido. It is famous for its geothermal eruptions caused by continuous volcanic activity and its unique high-latitude and high-altitude vegetation belts.

There are also neon-themed hot springs here.

However, Hanyu Hideki came here today not for the hot springs, but just to climb the mountain. While accompanying Liu Xiaoli and his eldest daughter, he also chatted with Tetsuya Aragaki who had made an appointment with him.

"Is the president really not going to attend the new company's founding ceremony?"

Tetsuya Aragaki asked the same question while strolling on the mountain trail.

The new company that he was talking about holding a founding ceremony for was naturally the computer company called 'E·T-Computer' proposed by Hideki Hanyu in Las Vegas.

Walking next to Tetsuya Aragaki and climbing the mountain with his daughter in his arms, Hanyu Hideki answered with a relaxed look.

"I feel very relieved with Aragaki-san here, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

As he said this, he also made a joke, "I hope that next time Aragaki-san invites me, it will be in the name of a wedding. After all, even Kitahara-san is married."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Tetsuya scratched his head unconsciously, "I'm afraid this will take a long time. The girlfriend I was dating just broke up with me."

"Why?" Hanyu Hideki asked curiously.

Tetsuya Aragaki replied, "Maybe it's because I stayed in the research institute for too long and didn't have time to accompany her."

"Then that's her fault."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, Aragaki Tetsuya was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect the president to say that. I thought you would let me spend more time with my girlfriend?"

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Why can't she spend more time with you?
And women, if you are busy with your career, they will complain that you don’t spend time with her. If you spend more time with her, they will say you are clingy and ask why you don’t focus on your career.

When working hard to make money, she would say that what she wants is not money, but love.

If you spend more time with her without making any money, she will dislike that your love has no material foundation.

So some women will never be satisfied, and letting go as soon as possible is the best choice. "

Aragaki Tetsuya immediately tried to ask, "I understand. In a relationship between a man and a woman, I must take the leading role."

Hanyu Hideki replied, “That’s right, with your current income and status, why can’t you be dominant?
We are not like those Kabuki families who insist on using women as full-time nannies, but at least we choose her so that she will not become a burden to your career. "

When Aragaki Tetsuya heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Obviously, this date was about discussing the new company, why is it suddenly about my marriage?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "The establishment of the new company is a natural process, there is really nothing to talk about, your personal issues are more important.

However, I must also remind you that the new company should not limit its focus to the Japanese and European and American markets, but must also pay attention to China.

Even in terms of market development, it must be placed on the same level as North America, and an independent branch must be set up to operate independently for each market in terms of market development and product research and development.”

Tetsuya Aragaki has always known that Hideki Hanyu attaches importance to the Chinese market.

But after hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Tetsuya Aragaki was still very surprised at Hanyu Hideki's decision to put the Chinese market and the North American market on the same level.

However, after thinking about the fact that Hanyu Hideki's decisions were always correct, Tetsuya Aragaki did not raise any questions, but just agreed, "Yes, I will do as the president asks."

Hanyu Hideki said, "What I said may be correct, but as the president of an independent company in the future, you also need to learn to observe and distinguish why I do this. After all, only when you understand the reason yourself can you really do things well."

Aragaki Tetsuya nodded thoughtfully, "After the company is established, I will go to China to investigate in person."

"That's your job, no need to tell me."

As Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he suddenly stopped.

It turned out that at this time, they had reached the highest point of a ridge.

The white snow-capped peaks, the hot springs gushing hot springs, the lush vegetation, all these scenes are in full view, making people feel relaxed and happy, and refreshed.

After a moment, he spoke slowly as if he had realized something.

"Xia Yuan-san, after working together for so many years, you should understand my working style.

If I trust someone, I will always trust him.

I also hope that in the end, the people I trust can stand with me at the highest point of my career, overlooking the past roads and the most beautiful scenery.

So don’t let me down.”

In response to Hanyu Hideki, Tetsuya Aragaki bowed deeply.

"I won't let the president down."

……

"Are you sure you don't want to go to England with me?"

At Asahikawa Airport, Hideki Hanyu saw Liu Xiaoli and his eldest daughter off.

After staying in Hokkaido for three days, the mother and daughter were ready to return to China.

Liu Xiaoli said, "Xixi is not on holiday, she still has to continue her classes."

Hanyu Hideki, who was holding his daughter, said, "It's just kindergarten. It's okay to take a few more days off."

Liu Xiaoli asked, "You said before that you wanted Xixi to grow up like a normal child. Are you going to go back on your word and make her special now?"

After hearing this, Hanyu Hideki had no choice but to return his daughter to her mother. "Okay, I was wrong. Be careful on the road and remember to contact me when you get home."

"Ah."

The beauty agreed, then stepped on her toes and kissed Hanyu Hideki on the lips, "Actually, I can't bear to leave you either."

Seeing this, the eldest daughter in her arms also raised her neck and said, "I want to kiss BABA too."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled happily and put his face close to his daughter, enjoying her farewell kiss.

"I will go to the country for an inspection next month, and I will accompany you and the child then."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki sent the two of them to the airport.

Of course, after seeing off Liu Xiaoli and his eldest daughter, it was time for Hideki Hanyu to leave.

After all, from returning to Neon on the 24th to today, the 27th, his competition with Murdoch over British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation in the UK has entered the next stage.

Even though he and his allies had the upper hand, they now had to return to Britain to take charge of the work.

Therefore, that evening, the "Yun Shang" took off from Chitose Airport in Hokkaido and headed for the UK.

……

Because of the time difference, Hideki Hanyu arrived at London Heathrow Airport at exactly midnight local time.

When he returned to the house in the Kensington Gardens neighborhood, he found that the service company staff were leaving in an orderly manner, and there were still traces of the party in the house.

Apparently, a party had just ended.

As he entered the room, Olivia Hurley, a mature and beautiful woman with a slightly red face and obviously drunk some wine, took the initiative to come forward and say.

"You came back a little late. I thought you would arrive in the morning."

Hanyu Hideki replied, "I also have some work to do in Neon."

"More important than what's happening in England?" Olivia Hurley asked.

Hanyu Hideki replied, "If we consider the benefits, it is indeed more important."

According to his vision for E·T-Computer, if it entered the market so early and laid out the Chinese market in advance, everything would go well.

Even if Abovecloud TV successfully cooperates with the British Satellite Broadcasting Company and obtains the future broadcasting rights of the Premier League, and develops like Sky TV in another time and space.

If we only consider the ability to make money, the latter is far from comparable to the former.

But compared with other aspects, the influence of a successful TV station on discourse power is actually difficult to measure in terms of money.

Olivia Hurley heard this and said with admiration, "I really envy you. You always find opportunities to make money, but we can't see anything."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If there is a chance to make money, I will not forget any of my friends."

Olivia Helimi moved closer to Hanyu Hideki and asked in a charming voice, "Am I your friend?"

Hanyu Hideki asked in return, "What does Mrs. Hurley think?"

After saying this, he didn't care what Olivia Hurley said, and went straight into the cloakroom to change out of the clothes he wore for the journey.

After he came out again, he found Olivia Hurley still waiting for him, so he asked casually, "Is Kate not here?" Olivia Hurley replied, "The British girl went home after you left, and she hasn't lived here these days."

"Oh."

Hanyu Hideki responded by walking to the phone, picking up the phone and starting to dial.

Olivia Hurley asked, "Who should I call at this late hour? Could it be that English girl?"

Hanyu Hideki said as he dialed, "Joseph Stern, now is his free time."

Joseph Stern, general manager of America Entertainment Investments, was the representative who signed the acquisition of MCA Universal.

Olivia Hurley said, "I thought you had contacted him."

“Some things can’t be rushed.”

What Hideki Hanyu was talking about was the incident in which the American Secretary of Commerce spoke on behalf of America Entertainment Investment Company.

The person who helped to build connections and push this matter forward was Joseph Stern.

While others were scared by the billion-pound debt of British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation, Joseph Stern had great faith in Hideki Hanyu.

He firmly believed that as long as it was a project that Hideki Hanyu was interested in, it would not matter even if there was a debt of 10 billion, as it would definitely help them make more money in the future.

Moreover, not all of the "investors" behind the scenes of America Entertainment Investment Company are short-sighted people who only care about money.

Like Hideki Hanyu, they also saw the added value of an influential TV station.

As an important ally of America, Britain's voice in public opinion is often more important than money to many top American figures.

Therefore, these people who stand behind America Entertainment Investment Company and push this matter are not doing it for money.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu did not call to thank Joseph Stern immediately was not only to wait for the outcome of the matter, but also because he did not want to appear too anxious.

Even allies must maintain a relationship of equal strength.

You need to make others rely on you and respect you, so that you can make yourself valuable enough.

Soon, the call was connected.

On the other end of the line, "This is Joseph Stern."

Hanyu Hideki said, “I am Hanyu Hideki.”

Joseph Stern said, "It appears you have returned to England."

“Yeah, it went well,” Hanyu said.

Joseph Stern said, "I hope my work can be helpful to you."

Hanyu Hideki said, “Thanks to your help, the early battles are over. Next, I will win for you.”

Joseph Stern said, "This is what many of my friends want to see."

“That’s what I want to see, too,” Hanyu Hideki said.

Joseph Stern said, "Karl Mapp said you would be coming to Washington soon."

Hanyu Hideki said, “I will go to England when there is a result.”

Joseph Stern said, "We'll talk about it then."

Hanyu Hideki said, “See you in Washington.”

At this point, the phone was hung up.

During the entire call, Hideki Hanyu didn't need to say thank you.

Because the phone call itself represents his attitude.

At this time, Olivia Hurley, who still hadn't left the living room, spoke up, "I feel like you're very confident. Maybe we can't stay in the UK for too long."

"I don't want to delay it too long."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked at the clock in the living room and then said to Olivia Hurley.

"It's time to rest. I have to meet with Murdoch formally tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ten minutes later.

In the bathroom on the first floor of the mansion, Hideki Hanyu was relaxing in the large jacuzzi.

While admiring the somewhat gloomy night in London through the window, he was thinking about tomorrow's work.

squeak--

There was a sudden sound, the bathroom door was pushed open.

In the dim light, Olivia Hurley slowly walked into the bathroom.

The mature and beautiful woman was only wearing a bathrobe. Perhaps because the dress was one size too small, it was a little too tight on the woman, fully showing her exquisite and plump figure.

Hideki Hanyu took a look and said nothing.

Olivia Hurley slowly sat on the edge of the bathtub, her slender waist outlined by her bathrobe.

The woman asked in a charming voice, "Are you not welcome to come?"

Hanyu Hideki chuckled and said, "It seems you didn't get my consent."

Olivia Hurley's voice was a little resentful, "Am I not as good as that little British girl who hasn't grown up yet?"

Hanyu Hideki said indifferently, "I never said that."

Faced with Hideki Hanyu's attitude, Olivia Hurley looked at Hanyu Hideki's handsome face and strong body in the water, and recalled every difficult and empty night she had since that day.

The woman's expression suddenly became a little crazy.

She grabbed Hanyu Hideki's arm, threw herself into the bathtub, and said in a slightly humble tone.

"You drive me crazy. I miss you every night after you returned to Neon. I can't stand it anymore. Please..."

Looking at the mature and beautiful woman whose expression was humble and pleading, but whose tone was full of crazy love.

Hanyu Hideki raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke in the arrogant tone of a superior.

"Then prove it to me."

……

May 28th.

British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation, London Headquarters.

In a conference room, a business meeting for a merger is underway.

The talks were not bilateral but trilateral.

In addition to British Satellite Broadcasting, there are two other competitors.

The Sky TV team led by Murdoch.

and the Abovecloud TV team led by Hideki Hanyu.

In the short time that Hideki Hanyu returned to Japan, Murdoch found that he could not stop his opponent at the official level, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to stop the war and choose to enter the business competition in which he was least confident.

Even though Murdoch did not have the confidence to defeat Hanyu Hideki, he did not want to give up easily.

In Murdoch's view, this business competition will probably last for a long time. The two sides will go back and forth, test each other's bottom line, and finally launch a fatal blow.

And today is the initial test of this competition.

However, what Murdoch did not expect was that Hideki Hanyu had no intention of engaging in a protracted war with him.

While Sky TV is still negotiating with British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation over the division of debt.

The negotiating representative of Abovecloud TV stated this on the spot.

"Abovecloud TV agrees to share the existing debts of British Satellite Broadcasting in proportion to its shares after the merger!"
