Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 323
April 1988, [-].

The day after Okada Yukiko retired from the concert, she officially returned to the first day of ordinary life, and the new fiscal year also began.

The entrance ceremony, the club entry ceremony, and the adjustment of the programs of the TV station and the broadcasting bureau also started.

On the TV station, the band Tianguo has added several advertising sponsors.

Dentsu, which replaced the company's high publicity expenses, raised the program of Band Paradise to the golden level.As TV Asahi's billboard program, this time, not only has it attracted new advertisers, but the threshold for sponsorship has also been raised.

Watanabe Wanyumi's U-MIZ has recruited several young members to cultivate their own descendants from scratch.On this day, although it was a small office, a ceremony was solemnly held for the newly joined young members.

In 1988, the employment market was even more exaggerated than last year. There was a labor shortage in companies everywhere, and college students who were about to become members of the society were fiercely contested.

Last year, Takeuchi Akihito asked Iwahashi Shinichi to pretend to be "Kimura-kun" to eat and drink, which is already outrageous.

This year, this situation has intensified. Big companies have exaggerated to the point of giving entry bonuses, cars and gifts, bribing school professors, and even going to the students' hometowns to get close to their parents.

Such a battle seems to be vying for some powerful talents, but in fact it is obviously not the case.

This kind of atmosphere invisibly raised the value of the students higher and higher, and these spoiled college students became more and more unscrupulous. They played with the company like scumbags with eight feet on their feet.And this kind of atmosphere also made companies that had no intention of doing so, also in this weird atmosphere, join in this battle of grabbing people, just to occupy people.

Even after recruiting new people, you can only arrange chores for them, but you must first recruit them.

why?Because the current world is so prosperous, the company may expand its scale every minute and become a large international company. It is necessary to reserve talents first, so as not to be in a hurry.

"People-oriented" to this extent, people really don't know what to say.

……

"It's just a broken head."

On Saturday, I met Wanyumi Watanabe in her office and talked about the ceremony of joining the club yesterday. The topic inevitably talked about the current social atmosphere. Just the two of them, Wanyumi Watanabe said bluntly.

"The current situation, no matter how you look at it, is not normal?" Wanyumi Watanabe sighed, more like a complaint after finally recruiting suitable newcomers.

Yanqiao Shenyi heard this, and said with a smile: "A friend of mine said to me, 'When the red light is on, everyone will not be afraid to run together'."

"This kind of mentality is terrible." Watanabe Mayumi shook her head, then smiled.

Terrible indeed.Especially in the eyes of Shinichi Iwahashi, the current overzealous world, once compared with the tragedy of the subsequent bubble burst, looks even more ridiculous and terrifying.

However, the topic of small talk will stop here.

After Haruko Akamatsu had completely replaced Shinichi Iwahashi as GENZO's representative in the band Paradise, he and Mayumi Watanabe met specially on Saturday, naturally they had something to discuss.

"Have you read the conditions of each record company?" Yanqiao Shinichi asked her.

The signing of DREAMS COME TRUE cannot be bypassed by Wan Bian Wanyumi.In addition, in fact, we also need to refer to the opinions of some TV stations. The TV stations may not directly say "which company to sign", but they will have a little bit of their own tendency.

"The conditions are good." Watanabe Mayumi said, "This shows how much attention the band receives."

"Isn't this the strongest band since the show started?" When Iwahashi Shinichi said this, he didn't feel like bragging about himself at all, but thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"Indeed." Wanyumi Watanabe thought so too.

"Consider the strength of the company, the production experience of the band, and the plan for DREAMS COME TRUE..." She listed several items in succession, "Of course, there are also the views of TV Asahi, as well as Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san, and finally you and me. "

To be precise, it is the last "you and me" who really make the decision.

"Although there are 26 companies, but after such a comprehensive process, there are only four final options." Manyumi Watanabe displayed the cards in her hand on the table one by one, "Victory Records, CBS Sony, EWJ, and finally It's Toshiba EMI."

Similar to CBS Sony, Toshiba EMI was also established as a joint venture after Japan's first capital liberalization.The predecessor was Toshiba's own "Toshiba Music Industry Association", and later EMI became a shareholder and changed to Toshiba EMI.

"Choose one of four."

This can be regarded as the truth that there is only one choice.

"Shinichi-kun," Wanyumi Watanabe finished showing her cards, and asked instead, "Which company do you like?"

Yanqiao Shinichi pretended to be thinking, thought for a while, and mentioned one thing, "Actually, it was during the meeting before."

"Huh?" Wanyumi Watanabe expressed curiosity.

He then thought that the representatives of the record company regarded Nakamura Masato as the organizer of the band, and only Kazuo Hirai of CBS Sony gave him his business card, this seemingly useless mascot.

"Has something like this happened yet?" Wanyumi Watanabe was a little interested.

"To be honest, I don't know why Hirai-san did this." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "Maybe it's because of some information, or of course, it's just because I think it's okay to hand over the business card to anyone."

"Maybe I really think so—as long as I hand in my business card."

Yanqiao nodded cautiously, "That's right, that's right." Then he smiled, "As a result, I don't know why he did this, but I paid more attention to him instead."

"Maybe this is the effect he wanted." Wanyumi Watanabe seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of answering the words, one sentence after another, "Successfully caught your attention."

"Indeed." Yanqiao Shinichi admitted.

Is this the so-called "uncle, you managed to get my attention"?Realizing this, Yanqiao Shinichi was extremely moved. After holding the female lead script for so long, it was finally his turn to be the domineering president.

It's a pity that it's not a beautiful and cute girl who plays the opposite role, but a chubby young man with a magical smile.

"Because of this, CBS Sony's conditions were considered first." To play against such an opponent, Shinichi Iwahashi simply threw away the script in his hand, completely gave up his dream of being a domineering president, and went with his domineering president Wanyumi Watanabe. Get on with business.

In fact, among the four record companies, the conditions offered by CBS Sony are not the best, but after comprehensive consideration, the conditions offered by CBS Sony are considered the most suitable.

The reason why CBS Sony is specifically mentioned is naturally not because it is as simple as being successfully attracted attention, but after consideration and comprehensive comparison, I think it is a high-quality choice.

"You think so." Watanabe Mayumi nodded.
