Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 211 Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang

Liu Xiaoli?
Hanyu Hideki couldn't help being taken aback by this name.

It couldn't be such a coincidence that he met the fairy mother of the later generations.

"I see."

Hanyu Hideki responded.

Taking the opportunity to speak, he carefully looked at the other person's appearance.

I didn't know the name before, so naturally I didn't think much about it.

What's more, the girl in front of me is so young.

And in his previous life, he was concerned about celestial beings, and he had only seen a few photos of celestial fairy mothers.

How old was the other party at that time.

Therefore, there is no connection between the two in terms of appearance.

But looking at it now, I found that it was really similar to the appearance in memory.

Liu Xiaoli seemed to have noticed Hideki Hanyu's gaze.

There was a blush on the beautiful white face.

"Is there something else, Hanyu-san?"

"I just want to leave my contact information. I should stay in America this month. If you need any help, Miss Liu can contact me."

Hideki Hanyu said as he presented a business card.

At this moment, Yasuko Sawaguchi, who had already packed her clothes, followed Hideki Hanyu to the door of the LV counter.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki inside, he asked, "Why did Hanyu-kun come here?"

Hearing Yasuko Sawaguchi's words, Hideki Hanyu bid farewell to all the girls, "I won't disturb everyone shopping, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Hanyu."

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Hanyu."

"We have a performance in two days, Mr. Hanyu must come and see it."

All the girls also thanked and said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu.

After seeing Hideki Hanyu walk out of the counter and leave with Yasuko Sawaguchi.

They couldn't help gossiping again.

"Look at that woman, she is so beautiful, just like the one who walked out of the painting."

"Yeah, what do you think is the relationship between her and Mr. Hanyu?"

"What else can it matter, it must be a boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Maybe they are ordinary friends. I read the information compiled by Reporter Li before. This writer Hanyu broke up with his girlfriend a long time ago and has always been single."

"I saw that there is a neon rich list in Reporter Li's information, saying that this Mr. Hanyu earned 1000 million Huaxia coins just last year, otherwise how could he easily buy the bag."

"1000 million! How much should it be!"

"So young, good-looking and rich, I wish I could be his girlfriend."

"You still want to be someone else's girlfriend just like this, don't dream, it's almost the same without Xiao Liu."

"That's right, our little Liu looks no worse than that neon woman just now."

"They are giving bags and business cards. Maybe they are really interested in Xiao Liu."

"None of the men who chased Xiao Liu before could match this great writer. Xiao Liu, don't miss this opportunity."

Liu Xiaoli, who was silent all the time, heard her companion bring the topic to her.

Immediately, he said with some shame, "What are you talking about, the business card is here, if any of you want to contact me."

But all the companions didn't take Liu Xiaoli's words seriously at all, and continued to tease instead.

"This business card was given to you by a great writer, we dare not ask for it."

"That's right, the great writer didn't send us a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"It's better to contact Xiao Liu, work hard, maybe you will become the wife of a great writer."

"When the wives of great writers enjoy their blessings, we sisters should not be forgotten."

"you……"

Facing the ridicule of her companions, Liu Xiaoli deliberately refuted, but she was no match for four hands.

And the teasing from her companions reminded her of Hideki Hanyu.

The inexplicable shyness in her heart made her unknowingly less confident when she refuted.

……

At the same time, Hideki Hanyu was in the car returning to the hotel.

Yasuko Sawaguchi asked curiously, "Why did Hanyu-kun suddenly go to the store next door? Why are there so many girls?"

"They are the actors from the cabaret show we saw when we were in San Francisco. Just now..."

Hanyu Hideki didn't hide anything, and told what happened just now.

After hearing this, Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't have any idea about Hideki Hanyu helping those dancers.

Instead, he said with righteous indignation, "It must be the fault of the cabinet lady. Although the lambskin fabric is not durable, it will not cause scratches after a few touches. Hanyu-kun and them should call the police directly."

Hearing Yasuko Sawaguchi's words, Hideki Hanyu explained.

"It's a waste of time to call the police, and this is America, I don't think calling the police will benefit us."

After the explanation, they returned to the hotel not long after.

The preparations for the dinner began.

Hanyu Hideki's appearance is relatively simple to clean up.

On the contrary, Yasuko Sawaguchi took some time.

It was almost seven o'clock when I finished packing.

But when Yasuko Sawaguchi came out of the bedroom of the suite, Hideki Hanyu suddenly felt a heat in his head, thinking that it would be okay to spend a little more time.

After the girl put on the little black dress, her already snow-white skin became whiter, tenderer and smoother.

Under the skirt, a pair of beautiful legs seem to overlap uneasy back and forth, and with the embellishment of slender high-heeled shoes, there is a touch of sexiness in the elegance.

Coupled with the already beautiful face, the slightly thick makeup is painted on.

Cute, gorgeous, sexy, just the right blend.

It is simply "soul-wrenching".

It was the first time for him to see a girl like this, so he didn't care about any dinner party, he went up to hug her and kissed her passionately.

"No, Hanyu-kun, I'll be late."

"It doesn't matter, that kind of exchange dinner, no one cares whether Elven Entertainment goes or not."

"But the clothes will be messed up."

"It's okay, you use..."

……

Not surprisingly, when Hanyu Hideki and Yasuko Sawaguchi arrived at the MGM Hotel where the exchange dinner was held, the dinner had already begun.

Led by the waiter, Hideki Hanyu came to the hall where the dinner was held, delivered the invitation letter, signed it, and walked in.

Seeing that there were many people inside, Yasuko Sawaguchi asked Hanyu Hideki in a low voice, "Hanyu-kun, do you see if my lipstick is done?"

"Didn't you ask me just now? It's perfect."

"Hanyu-kun hates it the most, always making me..."

"Stop, don't talk nonsense in this kind of place." Hideki Hanyu hastily interrupted the girl.

While Hideki Hanyu and Yasuko Sawaguchi were talking in low voices.

A man in his early 30s with a mole on the left side of his nose greeted Hanyu Hideki.

"Mr. Hanyu, I didn't expect you to come to the exchange dinner on behalf of Spirit Entertainment in person."

When the man was talking, he also noticed Yasuko Sawaguchi beside Hideki Hanyu.

The girl's beautiful appearance made the man look sideways.

But it's not polite to look at other people's female companions, and the man just looked away and looked away.

And in his opinion, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a decoration.

The really important person is Hideki Hanyu.

According to the life style of rich people in neon, Hanyu Hideki doesn't need to pay too much attention if he doesn't explain the relationship.

"Hello, who are you?" Hideki Hanyu didn't know this man.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Ken Kutaragi, from the R&D Department of Sony Consumer Electronics. I sent someone to send the invitation letter to Elven Entertainment."

Kutaragi continued with a smile.

"My wife is a fan of Mr. Hanyu's books. She will buy all your works. My son listens to Mr. Hanyu's picture books every night before going to bed."

"Kutaragi-san, it's a great honor that my work is liked by your family."

Hideki Hanyu responded modestly.

But when he was talking, he couldn't help but look at the other person a few more times.

Such a special surname can never be wrong.

The man in his early 30s in front of him should be the future helm of the Sony Group, Ken Kutaragi, who is known as the 'father of PS consoles'.

Unexpectedly, I met the future father of flash memory at the exhibition during the day.

At the exchange dinner in the evening, I met the future head of the Sony Group and the creator of the PS console.

However, the family members of these two people are also fans of his books.

It seems that as his fame grows, so does his status.

The probability of encountering celebrities in memory will also increase.

And after "Owl Under the Moon" won the Kate Greenway Award.

According to Xiao Xiaoguan's report, his picture books are also selling well in Europe and America.

Maybe there will be some European and American celebrity book lovers in the future.

Ken Kutaragi and Hideki Hanyu greeted each other politely, and informed Hideki Hanyu that a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would speak in half an hour in the hall, so he took his leave and left.

In the following time, Hideki Hanyu took Yasuko Sawaguchi to wander around the dinner party.

Although Elven Entertainment has become popular with Tamako, it is still just a small and inconspicuous club in the eyes of many giant companies.

In Neon, the superficial income of the enterprise does not represent the real strength of the enterprise.

Compared with the huge coverage of these businesses and monopoly operation to a certain extent, it is a large enterprise supported by a huge consortium.

The foundation of the cloud department is too shallow.

However, when Hideki Hanyu communicated at the dinner, he was not ignored by everyone.

Make connections, everyone is very enthusiastic.

The reason for this is that Hideki Hanyu's background has been recognized by local forces.

Because as a new rich man, Hideki Hanyu is not an immigrant.

Don't underestimate this.

Later generations, Liu Jingzheng and Sun Zhengyi even alternated the positions of the richest man in Lianzhuang Nihong.

But because of his identity as a descendant of the peninsula, he was not recognized by the neon forces at all.

The second point is Hideki Hanyu's status as a well-known writer among the public.

The neon public's favorability towards Hideki Hanyu reached an unprecedented height after Hideki Hanyu won the Kate Greenway Award.

Almost every editorial article published by Hideki Hanyu can arouse heated discussions among the public and has great influence.

Who would take pains to offend such a person.

I didn't look at those companies that compete with the cloud department, and I never mentioned Hideki Hanyu in business competition.

This is related to Hideki Hanyu's low-key behavior on weekdays and his seldom participating in the operation of the company.

It is also related to his always upright style and never touching the bottom line of the public.

what?
You said that Hideki Hanyu has been full of gossip since his debut.

There are even lovers' affairs in private, even if the painting on the cloud suppresses them, there are still tabloid reports.

Can this also be called decent?

That's right, putting this on Hideki Hanyu is a decent style.

Neon is very tolerant of talented people.

What's more, Hideki Hanyu didn't abandon his wife and son, and he didn't get involved in an unethical relationship.

Feeling a little richer, what kind of scandal is this.

Far from being a scandal, the public doesn't think it's a scandal.

I even feel that Hideki Hanyu also has emotions and desires, he is not the kind of person who is so perfect that he is fake, he is an ordinary person just like them.

Moreover, after Hideki Hanyu became famous, he has never been arrogant or domineering, and has always been warm and humble when facing book fans.

He is also very diligent in creation, and works come out every year.

Moreover, the style of the works is warm and affectionate, always telling about family love and growth, and is well recognized by the public.

Even in order to give back to book fans, an all-neon tour signing will be held every year.

None of Neon's other well-known writers like Hanyu Hideki can do so much.

Moreover, every time Hideki Hanyu publishes an editorial article, he seldom talks about those high-level things, and always fits the perspective of ordinary people and speaks for ordinary people.

For several years, the neon public was for Hideki Hanyu.

It's like watching your own children, experiencing setbacks and hardships, growing up without losing their good conduct, and finally becoming a world-renowned writer.

The kind of recognition and goodwill brought about by growing up with her all the way can no longer be described in words.

This is why whenever there is news about Hideki Hanyu, the neon public likes to watch it.

Even the middle and high-level leaders of these giant companies who participated in the dinner.

Most of them also have a good impression of Hanyu Hideki.

Some people even asked Hideki Hanyu to help sign family members or children after exchanging business cards, and wrote a paragraph of words of encouragement and blessings by the way.

This directly made Hanyu Hideki no matter where he went, it became a large-scale star chasing scene.

This situation continued until the host of the dinner party, a representative from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to the stage to speak, and it was not over.

Hideki Hanyu was in the crowd, watching the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speak.

The other party said a lot.

There is only one meaning in the words.

That is, I hope that the neon clubs who come to America to do business will communicate more, support each other when encountering challenges, and unite with the outside world.

As for the effect of the speech?
Basically useless.

Look at these giants participating in the exchange meeting, many of them are completely competitors in the field of consumer electronics.

It's not bad if it's not pinched on the bright side.

Also support each other and unite with the outside world?

Without a big enough interest, who would believe the old fritters who can get to the top at the scene.

After the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finished his speech, he came down to say hello to the senior management of the company.

After all, these people are all gods of wealth.

And after meeting Hideki Hanyu, his attitude became even more enthusiastic.

Some time ago, Hideki Hanyu won the award, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs seized the opportunity to publicize it all over the world.

Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is introducing the achievements of neon culture to the outside world.

Hideki Hanyu won the Kate Greenway Award for "Owl Under the Moon".

It is definitely a work that must be mentioned.

"Mr. Hanyu, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's a great honor."

"It's too polite, sir."

"There will be a cultural exchange event in New York on July [-]st. I wonder if Mr. Hanyu can be invited to participate?"

"How many days are there, and what are the details?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's only two days, it's a pure folk cultural exchange activity.

The works provided by the participants will be exhibited on the first day, and the exchange meeting will be held on the second day. The exhibited works will also be auctioned, and the auction proceeds will be donated to welfare organizations.

Therefore, if Mr. Hanyu is willing to participate, it is better to display some unique works. "

"I know that I will give Mr. an answer before this exhibition is over."

"I am very much looking forward to Mr. Hanyu's participation, after all, you are now our cultural business card."

……

Saying goodbye to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hideki Hanyu found Yasuko Sawaguchi who had been waiting a bit bored.

"Have you finished your work, Hanyu-kun? It's so boring here, can we go back?"

"We're done. Let's go back to the hotel. There's plenty of time now. Jingzi should take good care of me."

Hideki Hanyu replied.

After all, everyone who should make friends has also met, and the most important speech has ended.

There is nothing else to do if we continue to stay at the dinner, and it is good to go back to the hotel now.

The girl is dressed so charmingly today, the night is too short, there is no room for delay.

But just as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

It was the father of flash memory that I met at the exhibition, Fujio Masuoka.

The other party seemed to be in a bad mood, and was sitting alone in the corner of the banquet drinking wine.

"Why didn't Hanyu-kun leave, don't you want me to go back to accompany you?"

Seeing Hanyu Hideki, Yasuko Sawaguchi did not move again.

Asking in a soft voice, trying to lure Hideki Hanyu to leave quickly.

Who would have thought that Hideki Hanyu, who was still extremely lustful before, now has clear eyes and is not moved by the beauty at all.

He let go of Yasuko Sawaguchi's hand, and said in a tone that could not be refuted, "I have something to do, so I won't leave."

Seeing this, Yasuko Sawaguchi felt a little disappointed on her beautiful face.

But Hideki Hanyu remained unmoved.

Although he likes beauties very much.

But which is more important, he can clearly distinguish in his heart.

This person in front of him is very important to his career.

With a career and wealth, he will have countless beauties.

But if the career is gone, the so-called relationship is just a bubble.

There is no need to pierce it, a gust of wind can blow it away.

No matter what others think, Hanyu Hideki always feels that only being strong is the most important thing.

"Masuoka-san, we meet again." Hanyu Hideki walked up to Fujio Masuoka and said hello.

"It turns out Mr. Hideki Hanyu was also invited."

Seeing Hideki Hanyu, Fujio Masuoka was pleasantly surprised.

After all, Hideki Hanyu is one of the few people who recognizes his technical philosophy.

"Masuoka-san drank alone, did something bother him?" Hanyu Hideki asked with concern.

"It's all minor issues, thank you, Mr. Hanyu, for your concern."

Seeing that Fujio Masuoka was unwilling to say anything, Hideki Hanyu asked tentatively again.

"Is it because of the research and development of storage technology? I think Masaoka-san's research direction is very good. There is nothing to worry about."

Fujio Masuoka put down his wine glass and said with a wry smile, "If everyone in Toshiba was like Mr. Hanyu, then I wouldn't be so troubled."

"Drinking alone can't solve the problem. If Masaoka-san doesn't mind, let's find a place to have a drink, and Masaoka-san and I can talk about it."

"It's okay to chat with Sensei Hanyu, as long as Sensei Hanyu doesn't dislike me for being long-winded."

"No, I still agree with Masaoka-san's research philosophy."

"Then let's go, there are still a lot of things to say in the exhibition before."

……

Hanyu Hideki arranged for bodyguards to send Yasuko Sawaguchi back first.

Then he and Fujio Masuoka found a bar and chatted while drinking.

Perhaps stimulated by alcohol.

Or maybe Hideki Hanyu played the listener too well.

Masuoka Fujio not only talked about technology research and development.

He also spoke out all the grievances he had suffered at Toshiba in recent years.

In terms of technology, Hideki Hanyu has only a half-knowledge. Anyway, no matter what the other party says, he just needs to express his approval.

Moreover, from Fujio Masuoka's grievances, he probably understood why the other party was excluded in Toshiba.

Toshiba is now making a lot of money from DRAM storage, with a daily income of [-] million at its peak.

Clubs rely on it to make huge profits, and research institutes rely on it to apply for funding.

However, Fujio Masuoka wanted to develop flash memory with an unknown future.

One can imagine how difficult it is for the club to abandon the mature route of making money and turn around to invest in another new route that yields unknown results.

And colleagues in the research institute who have already achieved results on the old route are even more reluctant to develop a new route by Toshiba.

Otherwise, not to mention the diversion of research funds, Fujio Masuoka will also divert their rights.

This is why Masuoka Fujio was repeatedly excluded at Toshiba.

Even if flash memory proved to be successful in the end, there was no reason for it to end well.

Failure to succeed is your own fault.

But if it succeeds, doesn't it look like other people are stupid?

This is not the case in future generations. Fujio Masuoka helped Toshiba invent more than [-] flash memory patents.

Toshiba is not even willing to give credit.

Hearing the end, Hideki Hanyu felt that the opportunity had come.

But what he wants to do is not poach people.

Firstly, Masuoka Fujio and Toshiba must have signed relevant non-compete contracts.

In his previous life, Fujio Masuoka was squeezed out until he resigned, and he was unable to work for other companies, but went back to school as a teacher.

Secondly, the current him does not have the strength to provoke Toshiba.

I can't afford to offend the Mitsui consortium behind Toshiba.

It is definitely not possible to come directly, but now Toshiba is completely despised by the timing of the flash memory technology route.

Instead, he can come to repair the plank road openly and keep Chen Cang in secret.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki tried to say.

"Masuoka-san, I think your storage technology route can be applied to game storage in the future."

"The read-only nature of the game cassette does not need to consider erasing and rewriting. It seems that it is more appropriate to use ROM storage. Nintendo's cassette uses this technology." Fujio Masuoka said.

Of course Hanyu Hideki knew that Nintendo used ROM storage.

And in the future, after Nintendo's Switch game console returns to the cartridge, the NS cartridge will use Wanwan's Macronix's XtraROM technology.

Even the game cartridge that Elf Entertainment is developing uses ROM storage technology.

But his use of the game was just an excuse, of course he would not agree so easily.

"Masuoka-san, the power supply archive chip we are cooperating with Toshiba, doesn't it need to read and write?

How video games will develop in the future, no one knows, even if you can get rid of that cumbersome button battery, it is a kind of progress, isn't it? "

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, Fujio Masuoka showed an expression of approval.

"Mr. Hanyu is right. As storage technology develops, games will also develop. No technology is absolutely correct. Unfortunately, my colleagues do not agree with this idea."

Hideki Hanyu nodded, and tentatively stated his ultimate goal.

"So after I saw the application of Masuoka-san's technology, I had an idea.

Elven Entertainment can cooperate with Toshiba to jointly develop the semiconductor storage technology proposed by Masaoka-san, as a technical reserve for Elf Entertainment's future products.

Spirit Entertainment will bear part of the research and development costs, so that it can solve the current dilemma that Masaoka-san is facing. "

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Fujio Masuoka suddenly regained his spirits.

Drunkenness has sobered up a lot.

In order to share risks, joint research and development is not uncommon in neon enterprises.

After all, no one can know the future prospects of a technical route, and it is very likely that a lot of money will be spent, and it will not be developed in the end.

Even if it is developed, it cannot be commercialized, and the R&D investment cannot be recovered.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best way to find a partner to share the risk of R&D investment.

If Spirit Entertainment is really willing to invest in joint research and development, it will definitely be good news for Fujio Masuoka.

But Fujio Masuoka was still worried that Hideki Hanyu was just impulsive.

So he told Hideki Hanyu seriously.

"Mr. Hanyu, before deciding on joint research and development, you need to know one thing.

My research and development direction is a new storage technology route, which consumes much more research and development expenses than you and Toshiba developing a power storage chip based on the existing technology. "

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he deliberately pretended to be cautious, "Masuoka-san, can you know the exact cost?"

"If a special research institute is established, considering the cost of purchasing equipment and materials, the initial investment is estimated to be about 30 billion yen, but the follow-up cost will be much less."

Fujio Masuoka finished speaking.

Hideki Hanyu showed his acting skills again, showing a embarrassed look.

"It turns out that it costs so much money. Elf Entertainment is just a small club. If we do joint research and development, we may need Toshiba to bear more of the research and development expenses."

Is the R&D cost of 30 billion yen a lot in today's era?
Of course more!

Think about the development prospects of flash memory technology, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

What's more, compared with research and development, what really costs money is production.

Any semiconductor production base can't be won without hundreds of billions.

However, this kind of investment does not happen overnight, and it can be done slowly and slowly.

And his embarrassed expression, and his statement that he hopes Toshiba will bear more research and development costs.

Undoubtedly disappointing Fujio Masuoka.

If Toshiba was willing to invest in his technical route, how could he be squeezed out to this point.

Hideki Hanyu pretended not to see Fujio Masuoka's expression, and continued.

"When the exhibition is over, I will arrange for someone to discuss with Toshiba about joint research and development, and I hope that Mr. Masuoka will cooperate a lot."

Masuoka Fujio’s research and development route is not a secret, and papers on pre-technology have already been published.

"No problem, I hope we can work together."

Although Hideki Hanyu wants Toshiba to share R&D costs, he is not optimistic.

But Fujio Masuoka still hopes that the cooperation can be achieved.

In this way, he has sufficient funds, personnel, equipment, and materials for research and development.

Instead of doing it in spare time like now, the progress is unacceptably slow.

However, Hideki Hanyu's attitude of approving his research route made Fujio Masuoka very happy.

After all, compared to Toshiba, Hideki Hanyu at least showed his willingness to invest.

Next, the two talked for a long time about the new storage technology route, and they didn't say goodbye until early in the morning.

Back at the hotel, Yasuko Sawaguchi had already fallen asleep.

Hanyu Hideki didn't bother the other party, and fell asleep directly after taking a bath.

When he opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day.

Yasuko Sawaguchi left him a note saying that he went shopping with Eri Kitahara.

Hideki Hanyu changed his clothes and went to the exhibition site.

After arriving at the booth of Elven Entertainment, he found that the number of people who came here to visit and play games today seemed to be much more than yesterday.

However, Satoru Iwata, who was in charge of the booth, also took this into consideration and asked the California headquarters to airlift a batch of electronic pet Poké Balls overnight.

At last, the situation of lack of trial units at the booth was alleviated.

Hanyu Hideki entered the backstage of the booth, which happened to be the noon break.

While eating simple hamburgers and drinking coffee, several senior executives discussed work matters.

After seeing Hideki Hanyu coming in, everyone said hello.

After greeting everyone, Hideki Hanyu approached Michael Katz and asked straight to the point, "How is your contact with Wal-Mart?"

"Mr. Hanyu is really in a hurry. The person in charge of the sales department just met with them. The distribution of goods is very simple, but the details of price and promotion ratio are very cumbersome to talk about, and it is impossible to complete it in a short time."

Michael Katz said.

Hanyu Hideki thought he could not be in a hurry.

From buying the company, to acquiring Starpath, recruiting troops to establish a research and development center,
Add in the day-to-day operating expenses of North American companies.

As well as the research and development, production, and pre-publicity expenses of the Poke Ball.

He has spent $2000 million on America.

That's $80 million in the early 2000s.

Although there is still a lot of money left to short Warner stock.

But we can’t just go out and not go in all the time.

No matter how much money you make, at least recover the capital, which can balance the daily operation.

"Mr. Katz, has the sales plan after the exhibition been confirmed? Or will it still be carried out according to the previous plan?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Before the exhibition began, Michael Katz made a pre-release plan.

Directly distributing and selling goods throughout North America, Elven Entertainment America cannot do it at all.

According to the existing distribution and sales capacity, Michael Katz only arranged three places for the first distribution.

First of all, of course, the headquarters of Spirit Entertainment North America, the San Francisco area.

The other is Los Angeles, which is relatively close.

Finally, there is the city with the strongest purchasing power of consumer electronics in America, New York.

According to Michael Katz, as long as the sales in these three places can be opened, other sellers will naturally follow suit.

"Of course it is going according to plan. The four-day exhibition is not enough to change the mind of a large retailer like Wal-Mart. We still have to prove ourselves first."

When Michael Katz said this, he showed a smile.

"There is also good news for Mr. Hanyu. Although the sales of Poké Balls are still being discussed, there are sellers interested in several arcade games at the headquarters. It is estimated that orders can be confirmed before the end of the exhibition."

"How many substrates do they want? The headquarters has the numbers, so they can start production in advance." Hideki Hanyu asked.

He didn't need to ask to know that these sellers only bought substrates.

Because the profit of the whole machine combination is very large, it is impossible for the dealer to give this part of the profit to Elf Entertainment.

But this is also good, the more people in the interest chain, the more "friends".

Again, eating alone will not last long.

"For the first batch of orders, each game will not be less than 500 yuan."

As soon as Michael Katz said this.

Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but beam with joy.

The average price of the base boards of the four games is about 2000 US dollars, and 260 yuan base boards cost [-] million US dollars.

Just now I was thinking that I spent too much money and needed to pay back.

As a result, the money did not come.

And it's just the first order.

Hideki Hanyu is very confident in these games, and believes that follow-up orders will not make North American companies wait too long.

After staying at the booth until the end of the exhibition, Hideki Hanyu returned to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I met Yasuko Sawaguchi and Eri Kitahara who had been out for a day.

The two women carried a lot of bags and bags, and when they saw Hideki Hanyu, they couldn't spare their hands to say hello.

"It seems that you two have gained a lot." Hanyu Hideki teased with a smile.

Eri Kitahara joked, "Yeah, Hanyu-san spent a lot of money"

"As long as you are happy." Hanyu Hideki didn't care.

As long as the batch of substrates mentioned by Michael Katz is negotiated today, the gross profit will be at least one million dollars.

As long as he makes money fast enough, he is not afraid to spend it.

"Hanyu-san seems to be in a good mood." Eri Kitahara noticed something.

Hideki Hanyu said with a smile, "An order of at least 2000 yuan for substrates can be negotiated within a few days."

"No wonder Hanyu-san seems to be in a good mood," said Kitahara Eri.

"It's all trivial. I have one more thing I want to talk to Kitahara-san. Kitahara-san put down his things and come to my room."

"Ok."

After the two agreed, Hanyu Hideki took Yasuko Sawaguchi back to the room first.

As soon as Yasuko Sawaguchi came in, she began to show Hanyu Hideki her booty.

Hideki Hanyu looked at it casually, and there were tens of thousands of dollars that he couldn't afford.

But besides buying things for her, this girl has nothing to do.

According to Hideki Hanyu's request, I bought some perfume, bags and other things to bring gifts for Hideki Hanyu.

After all, clothes and shoes need to be tried on to know whether they are suitable or not. Bags and perfumes are not needed.

Speaking of which, these things are not unsold in Neon.

But bringing it back from America, for friends, it feels different.

"These two belts, Mr. Hanyu, can be given to Ito-san and Yoshioka-san. These perfumes are more suitable for housewives, and they are most suitable for their wives..."

When Yasuko Sawaguchi introduced the things she bought to Hideki Hanyu.

Suddenly remembered the knock on the door.

Hanyu Hideki opened the door and saw that it was Eri Kitahara.

"Hanyu-san, you specifically asked me to come here, there is something important to explain."

Hideki Hanyu said, "Whether Kitahara-san says it's important or not is important for the investment of 30 billion yuan."

When Eri Kitahara heard so much money, her first reaction was, "What company is Hanyu-san going to buy in America?"

"No, I want Elf Entertainment to cooperate with Toshiba to establish a research institute to jointly develop a new semiconductor storage technology."

"Aren't we already working with them on memory chips?"

"The two are completely different. What we are cooperating with now can only be regarded as the application of a mature technology, and what we are cooperating with in establishing a research institute is..."

Next, Hideki Hanyu talked about what happened after he met Fujio Masuoka.

Of course, it is impossible for him to tell Eri Kitahara about the future application prospects of flash memory.

He just said that he is very optimistic about this technology and feels that this technology is very helpful to the development of Elven Entertainment.

After listening, Eri Kitahara didn't question Hideki Hanyu's vision, but asked directly.

"Do you need to use the profits from electronic pets?"

Electronic pet sales have now crossed the 400 million mark.

Total sales exceeded 270 billion yen.

Although not all the repayments have arrived, the gross profit must have exceeded 100 billion yen.

After paying taxes on these gross profits, it is completely sufficient to invest in research institutes that cooperate with Toshiba.

"After Kitahara-san returned to Tokyo, he first contacted Toshiba to see the conditions they proposed, and then determined how to negotiate in the future.

As for investing, I'm not going to use the money from Elven Entertainment.

Sprite Entertainment needs money for its daily operating expenses, R&D expenses, factory loans, office building construction expenses, and employee benefits.

If so much money is withdrawn, what bonus will be given at the end of the year.

The situation last year was special. This year, arcade games and Tamagotchi both made money, so it's time to give bonuses to everyone. "

Hanyu Hideki didn't lie, but it wasn't all because of this reason.

The more critical idea is that he intends to set up a separate club, which will then be controlled by Hanyu Investment to cooperate with Toshiba.

After all, starting next month, he will gradually liquidate the Nintendo stocks held by Hanyu Investment.

Even if calculated based on the current stock price, that is a fund of hundreds of billions of yen.

In addition to continuing to allow Yoshihiro Yada and his wife to help him invest in real estate with the money.

It is certainly enough to invest in the Institute of Semiconductor Storage Technology.

And he doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.

If flash memory technology wants to continue to develop, money is not needed at 01:30.

If you fail to persevere, you can't implicate Elf Entertainment.

The most important thing is that in a few years, America will sanction Toshiba.

He didn't know if this turmoil would involve the research institute he cooperated with Toshiba.

But it must not affect Elf Entertainment.

The bigger the spread, the more cautious you have to be.

After all, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

If it really affected his research institute, it would be a big deal to cut off the tail to survive, at least it would not shake the foundation.

"I understand. After the exhibition is over, I will go back to Tokyo to contact Toshiba." Kitahara Eri said.

"Then I'll leave it to Kitahara-san." Hanyu Hideki said.

The two finished their business.

Eri Kitahara said to Yasuko Sawaguchi next to her.

"Miss Sawaguchi, it seems that the exhibition is over, and I can't accompany you to continue shopping."

"Kitahara-san is busy with business."

Although Yasuko Sawaguchi was not interested in what the two said.

But she understands that she can't delay Hanyu Hideki's 30 billion investment just to go shopping.

"It's so rare to come here once, it's really not fun." Eri Kitahara sighed.

Hearing what Eri Kitahara said, Yasuko Sawaguchi said it indifferently.

"I can't speak the language here, and the weather is hot. It's boring to play for two or three days. When the exhibition is over, I'd better go back to Tokyo with Kitahara-san."

"Why are you in such a hurry, Hanyu-san won't go back." Kitahara Eri said.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he said helplessly. "Although I really want to accompany Jingzi, I really don't have the time.

After the exhibition, I will go back to the research center in Silicon Valley, where I will explain some development requirements of Pokémon games to Tajiri and Sugimori.

Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited me to participate in a cultural exchange event in New York on July [-]. I was ready to agree, so I had to leave at the end of the month. "

"Well, it seems that Ms. Sawaguchi is going back to Nihong with me." Kitahara Eri said.

"After returning to Neon, let's go shopping in Ginza together." Yasuko Sawaguchi said.

"No problem, we can call..."

Eri Kitahara originally wanted to ask Nakamori Akina to go shopping together, after all, Xiaopangcai's fashion taste has nothing to say.

I can think of the feelings buried in Akina Nakamori's heart, as well as the relationship between Yasuko Sawaguchi and Hideki Hanyu.

So halfway through the speech, he stopped abruptly.

"Who does Kitahara-san want to call?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked strangely.

"No one, the two of us are enough."

Eri Kitahara glanced helplessly at Hideki Hanyu.

I thought that this man had no idea how many romantic debts he had inadvertently incurred.

And Hideki Hanyu was attacked by Eri Kitahara's eyes, and he was a little baffled immediately.

I don't know when he provoked the other party again.
