Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 370 Money is not as important as happiness

Akina Nakamori attaches great importance to the banquet hosted by the Governor of Tokyo.

First of all, it was because Hanyu Hideki invited her to go with him.

Furthermore, compared to those in the entertainment industry, this kind of event is undoubtedly an extremely formal occasion.

Following Hanyu Hideki once did not mean that she would be able to enter the upper class circles.

But at least it's better than coming here as a guest performer.

the most important is.

She was very happy that Hanyu Hideki was willing to take her with him on such an occasion.

When working as a stylist.

These were the thoughts running through Nakamori Akina's mind.

in contrast.

Next to him, Hideki Hanyu didn't think there was any special significance in bringing Akina Nakamori with him.

A scumbag who has no profit and cannot afford to be early.

Bringing a woman with you is nothing more than a social etiquette.

If it can also make women happy, it can only be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Why not do it.

As for why he accepted the invitation from the supreme governor of Tokyo, he naturally had his own considerations.

For example, it was previously considered that the land for the industrial park that will accommodate all his companies in the future will fall on the governor of Tokyo.

There are other conceived plans, and if there is cooperation from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, their implementation will undoubtedly be much easier.

He was thinking about some future plans in his mind, and before he knew it, Hanyu Hideki had already finished his own styling.

Looking at it now, Akina Nakamori, who started styling earlier than him, was basically prepared.

Her long black hair was styled into an elegant updo, embellished with a hairpin decorated with pearl flowers.

As for the clothes on her body, she has a moon-white base, hand-embroidered light peony feathers, and a kimono embellished with gold threads.

Pair it with straw sandals and a handbag that are also handmade.

This outfit alone is worth more than 700 million.

Those so-called luxury brands.

Compared with this kind of high-end clothing handmade by masters, it is not on the same level at all.

Because he was accompanying Hideki Hanyu to participate in the event, Hideki Hanyu naturally paid the bill.

But looking at the new look, the image has changed drastically.

I feel pity for Nakamori Akina, who has a cold temperament and a soft appearance.

Hanyu Hideki felt that the money spent was really worth it.

The girl stood there pretty, which immediately reminded him of the scene where she was wearing a kimono and singing Unbreakable Ship. (see animation)
For a moment, the scumbag couldn't move his eyes away.

I couldn't help but say, "Angina is so beautiful."

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's praise, Nakamori Akina was a little shy and said softly, "Thank you."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Are you ready?"

"Okay." The girl nodded.

"Let's go then."

Hanyu Hideki raised his arm, and Nakamori Akina took it naturally.

The two left the styling studio.

Outside the door, the Mercedes-Benz driven by Marco was already waiting.

The two of them got in the car and headed straight to the destination of tonight's dinner party.

Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

Although the scale of the event on this trip is small, the guests invited are all representatives of influential capital forces in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Although it is an officially organized economic exchange activity.

But to put it bluntly, it is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s official approach to closer relations with the business community.

As well as announcing some related plans, capital support is needed to promote them.

Of course, the official website can be considered as a communication platform for everyone.

After Hideki Hanyu arrived.

I found that at the entrance of the banquet hall where the event was held, several mainstream media were conducting interviews.

Among them are reporters from NHK TV.

When these media discovered that Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori appeared, they were all pleasantly surprised.

This beloved national writer has not appeared with a female companion at official events for a long time.

Now she suddenly appears with this idol queen...

Are you planning to make your relationship public?
With this idea in mind, several media outlets rushed to the news.

Even NHK TV station has focused its camera on this.

After all, it involves emotional gossip, which attracts more attention than any official economic exchange activities.

"Mr. Hanyu, if you are invited to participate in the event this time, do you plan to invest..."

The NHK TV reporter who originally posted the article was the first to ask the question.

Related to the theme of the event, it is about investment intentions in political and strategic aspects.

After all, Hanyu Hideki came to the event as an entrepreneur.

Not some national teacher, award-winning writer.

"The purpose of coming here today is mainly to learn from the experience of senior business people. I have no intention of investing at the moment. After all, it is not in line with the field I am engaged in."

"What about..."

Next, NHK TV station, as the main interviewer, asked two questions in a row about activities.

Hideki Hanyu answered all the questions he could.

If you can't answer, just do Tai Chi to fool him.

As for Nakamori Akina, who has always been by his side, she is dignified and well-behaved, trying hard to maintain the attitude of Hanyu Hideki's female companion.

Although the media nearby wanted to ask questions about Akina Nakamori.

But today is an official event after all.

The interview with NHK was not over yet, and it was difficult for them to interrupt.

Seeing that the NHK interview was coming to an end and the host had to put away the microphone, these media felt that their opportunity had come.

However, Hanyu Hideki saw two acquaintances walking in at the entrance.

At this time, the interview with NHK TV station ended.

He stretched out his hand and waved towards the entrance, "Yanai-san."

The visitor was none other than Tadashi Yanai, who had gone to other Asian countries some time ago to help Uniqlo conduct expansion inspections.

The other party also brought his wife Teruyo Yanai.

"I didn't expect Hanyu-san to come so early." Yanai greeted with a smile.

Hideki Hanyu said, "I have just arrived. Good evening, Mrs. Yanai. This is my female companion tonight, Akina Nakamori."

After hearing Hanyu Hideki's introduction, Yanai Masakazu and his wife also greeted Nakamori Akina politely.

The few people at the back were chatting while walking towards the banquet hall where the event was held.

A group of reporters were left looking at the news, but extremely disappointed.

Then these reporters started talking.

"I didn't ask anything. How should I write this?"

"Now that it's been brought out publicly, you can write whatever you want."

As soon as this reporter said his words, the people around him immediately looked at him.

The look in his eyes clearly said that this guy must be a newcomer.

Can Hideki Hanyu’s scandal be made up casually?
But what this guy said did bring a little inspiration to everyone.

Although not interviewed.

You can’t make this up, but Hideki Hanyu did publicly bring out Akina Nakamori.

And the NHK video will definitely be released.

Then tell the truth.

For example, "Yesterday, Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori attended the *** economic exchange event held by the Tokyo Governor's Office..."

As for the relationship between the two, they don't need to be written.

Just leave it to the audience to figure it out.

As for what the audience will guess, that's not up to them.

Than a straightforward explanation.

Perhaps this kind of vague and unclear speculation will make the news more popular.

After all, Hideki Hanyu, a romantic talent, has almost disappeared as his status has improved in recent years, and news about his romantic affairs has almost disappeared.

In the eyes of the public, the other party's title of romantic talent is about to be worn out.

And just when reporters are thinking about how to write news.

In the banquet hall, Hanyu Hideki and Yanai Masaru were welcomed by the Governor of Tokyo and his wife as soon as they entered.

However, it is obvious that this officer values ​​Hideki Hanyu more.

After all, Uniqlo is developing very quickly.

But compared to the world-famous Elf Entertainment, it is still far behind.

What's more, the cloud system controls huge media power.

Celebrities, film and television dramas, satellite TV, independent publications...

Anyone who is interested in a political career must be taken seriously.

The most important thing is that Hideki Hanyu helped Tokyo increase its international image and influence through the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition organized by the game base, which invisibly helped the governor of Tokyo earn achievements.
Therefore, in his heart, the Governor of Tokyo still has a good impression of Hanyu Hideki.

Although such an old fox would not really promise anything to Hideki Hanyu just because of his good feelings.

But sometimes, these good feelings can still help Hanyu Hideki.

After saying goodbye to the Governor of Tokyo, Hideki Hanyu continued to chat with Tadashi Yanai.

"Yanai-san, are there any results from this inspection?"

Yanai Tadashi replied, "The harvest is not small. Compared with Europe and the United States, the economy of Asia as a whole is more active, and the living standards of ordinary people have improved rapidly. I think the time is very good now."

"What are Yanai-san's plans?" Hanyu Hideki continued to ask.

Hearing what Yanai Masaru said, it was obvious that he was already interested in exploring overseas markets.

It is estimated that even if they do not meet today, Yanai Tadashi will take the initiative to find him soon to discuss the matter in detail.

Yanai Tadashi looked around and seemed to find it inconvenient to talk here, so he suggested, "How about Hanyu-san come to my house as a guest tomorrow, and invite Tanaka-kun to come with you."

"Of course it's okay for me to be a guest, but I'm afraid Yukio-san won't be able to go. He went to Hakone to stay with his wife during the pregnancy." Hanyu Hideki explained.

"If he is not here, then Hanyu-san can come alone. We will inform Tanaka-kun after we discuss it."

"Okay, let's make an appointment at noon. Yanai Sando is going to order the beef from last time. I think it tastes good."

They were also unkind to Yanai Masaru and Hanyu Hideki.

Although the relationship between the two is not as close as that between him and Yukio Tanaka.

But after all, we started a business together, so what are we doing together?

It is absolutely not necessary to say that we are friends.

"No problem." Yanai Masa agreed readily.

To him, the money spent on beef is nothing.

What Yanai Masaru cares more about is Hanyu Hideki's attitude of not treating him as an outsider, which proves that there is no problem with the cooperation between the two.

When doing business together, the biggest worry is the gap between people.

According to Yanai Masaru, Hanyu Hideki is the perfect partner.

Able to help the club develop, understand and support his decisions.

He has financial resources, so even if the club does not pay dividends and all profits are used for development, it is okay.

At critical moments, it can also provide funds to Uniqlo.

The most important thing is not to be greedy for power.

Many of the people trained by Hanyu Hideki are in management positions at Uniqlo and Fast Retailing.

But Hanyu Hideki rarely interfered with the development of Uniqlo through these people.

After deciding to meet the next day, the two said goodbye temporarily and participated in activities separately.

Newly wealthy people like Hideki Hanyu have also attracted the attention of many people.

There is an endless stream of people coming to see him.

Then, Hideki Hanyu met another acquaintance.

"President Hanyu, I heard that you went to Xiangjiang some time ago."

The person who spoke was none other than Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the owner of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel where today's event was held and the president of the Seibu Group.

The other person was holding champagne and was accompanied by a beauty.He is about thirty years old and exudes mature charm.

Hanyu Hideki always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

While he was reminiscing, Akina Nakamori reminded him softly.

"She is Mizusawa Aki."

Hanyu Hideki finally remembered, it turned out to be this person.

She is also a person in the entertainment industry, a not-so-famous actress.

Because it was revealed that he had a brief relationship with Cheng Long, it was reported in China.

Now it seems that the other party also has a close relationship with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

Hideki Hanyu had to sigh,

When it comes to finding women, he still has to learn a lot from Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Look at how powerful they are in combat.

From Sayuri Yoshinaga who was born in the [-]s, Aki Mizusawa who was born in the [-]s, to Misaki Ito who was born in the [-]s, and Eriko Sato who was born in the [-]s.

Even after 2000, some people in their 70s still made headlines with models born in the [-]s.

What a role model for seniors!
However, although Hanyu Hideki was feeling emotional in his heart, he did not forget to answer.

"I went to Xiangjiang for a few days to deal with some business matters."

Who would have thought that Tsutsumi Yoshiaki heard Hanyu Hideki's words and said it with a slightly disdainful tone.

"What kind of business can be worth handling in a small place like that? Neon is the future of this world."

As he spoke, he also put on the posture of a senior educating a junior.

"I heard that the First Bank Consortium is helping your theater chain prepare for an IPO recently. This is the right thing to do. However, the scale is still a bit small. We should just let Elf Entertainment go public directly."

Facing such Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, Hanyu Hideki was really speechless.

Obviously, the neon economy has entered the fast lane and will never return to the bubble.

The stock market and real estate are soaring.

Seibu Group's assets have been swelling, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's net worth has skyrocketed, which is obviously a bit too high.

Hanyu Hideki heard from his subordinates that the Seibu Group had started to act like a monster again about the amusement park cooperation that had been discussed before, causing the negotiations to reach a deadlock again.

But it is also understandable.

If he had been worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the 80s, it would have been hard for him not to lose his fortune.

Besides, he is over 50 years old.

In a place like Neon, no one would think there was anything wrong if he acted like a senior to a junior in his early 20s.

But well.

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, since you are so swollen, you must not mind helping him share the pressure.

If the real estate properties in hand are to rise in another two years, the wealthy people in Xiangjiang alone will not be able to take over the plate.

The Seibu Group in front of us is undoubtedly a good alternative.

Thinking of taking advantage of the other party, Hanyu Hideki put on a teachable attitude on the surface.

"Thank you, President Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, for the tip."

Seeing this, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki nodded with satisfaction, and then continued.

"As for our two cooperative amusement parks, I decided to take a step back on the naming, but elsewhere, Chairman Hanyu can no longer insist. You must know that the construction of amusement parks also takes time."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Of course I know this. Please allow me to think about it again."

Of course, he couldn't agree directly. After all, he hadn't learned about the latest progress of the negotiations in detail.

And after Kitahara Eri divided the surrounding operating companies.

This matter must be left to the new club to operate.

Now that the new club is still under construction, I am really afraid of delaying the construction period, and I don't care about this half month.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi said, "Then I'll wait for the good news from President Hanyu, so I'll take my leave now."

Hideki Hanyu said. "goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki took Mizusawa Aki and left.

Looking at Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's back, Hanyu Hideki secretly thought about how to start the cooperation with Seibu Group.

His original plan was to use the funds and amusement park operating experience of the Seibu Group.

Help Elf Entertainment accumulate experience in operating amusement parks as quickly as possible.

Now look at Yoshiaki Tsutsumi so swollen.

He thought of another plan.

That is to say, cooperation must be carried out. It does not matter if Elf Entertainment suffers some losses in the early stage.

But be sure to delay the start a bit.

Then make the plan bigger and more ambitious, and lengthen the construction cycle.

The best completion date is around 1990.

As long as some terms are determined in the contract, Seibu Group will have problems with its capital chain and will be unable to support construction and sell off assets on a large scale.

It is very possible that Elf Entertainment can pick up an amusement park that is about to be completed at a low price without doing anything.

The latter has greater benefits, but is complicated to operate.

As for the former, there are good and bad aspects.

Elf Entertainment can accumulate experience in operating amusement parks to facilitate future expansion.

But in this case, once the amusement park's revenue is good.

It is very likely that the Seibu Group will not sell the amusement park even if it sells its assets at a low price.

Even if it is sold, the price will be much more expensive than an amusement park that has not yet been built.

Two plans, how to choose?

No one else can give any advice, it can only be decided by Hanyu Hideki himself.

After all, only he knows the development of the future.

But now, this is not the place to think about things.

At this time, the exchange activity officially began, and everyone took their seats under the leadership of the waiter.

Then I watched several big guys talking on the stage, talking about their views on the economy and neon politics.

At the end, the governor of Tokyo took the stage and announced several future development plans for Tokyo. He welcomed entrepreneurs to support them.

To Hideki Hanyu's dismay, the other party's plan did not include what he wanted.

It seems that it is still a bit early to help my company find a place to build a park.

But the line has been drawn, and it will only be a matter of time before the other party comes up with that plan.

It’s just a matter of waiting a few more years.

And there was no chance for this matter for the time being, but after meeting Yanai Masaru today, he felt that he could start preparing for another matter.

We can definitely discuss it when we visit Yanai Masaru at his home tomorrow.

With the cooperation of the Governor of Tokyo, it will definitely be easier than handling the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki whispered to Nakamori Akina beside him.

"Akina, I'm going to visit Yanai-san's house tomorrow, please come with me."

As long as Hanyu Hideki is in need, Nakamori Akina will never refuse.

So the girl agreed without thinking, "Okay."

The reason why he called Nakamori Akina was actually related to what he wanted to talk about.

The speech by the Governor of Tokyo ended.

This exchange meeting has also entered the most important stage, although it is surrounded by exquisite buffet dinners.

But because of the several plans just announced by the Governor of Tokyo, all the big bosses were thinking about how to get involved without having any time to eat or drink.

After all, several of these plans involve real estate investment.

No one here knows how strong Neon’s land prices are now.

However, Hanyu Hideki was not interested in this at all.

You can indeed make money by joining in.

But the real estate industry is so competitive nowadays.

It is inevitable to fight with other competitors, and to navigate the intricate relationships between light and dark.

After a year or two of hard work and effort, the money earned in the end has to be divided among a bunch of people.

Hanyu Hideki felt troublesome just thinking about it.

He has no shortage of money-making opportunities in his mind, so why waste time and energy on these things.

When he invests in real estate, he always buys finished products and land.

Even if we spend more money, we will never build it ourselves.

Just too lazy to deal with those troublesome things.

Therefore, when everyone is either testing or forming an alliance, they are ready to fight.

However, Hideki Hanyu took Akina Nakamori with him and said goodbye to the Governor of Tokyo on the grounds of temporary business.

On the way home, Hanyu Hideki was still thinking about what to do.

For example, the cooperation with Seibu Group.

For example, I have to talk to Yanai Masaru tomorrow.

Next to her, Akina Nakamori felt a little "preoccupied" after seeing Hideki Hanyu attending the banquet.

Then he asked carefully, "Hasheng-kun, are you worried about anything?"

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki held the girl's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have nothing to worry about. I'm just thinking about business matters."

Hearing this, Nakamori Akina leaned against Hanyu Hideki and said softly.

"Hanyu-kun, if you want to find someone to talk to, please don't forget me..."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand and flicked Nakamori Akina on the head.

By the way, he said angrily, "It's clear that nothing happened, why are you so sad all of a sudden?"

"Hey……"

Sad Cai first covered his head and screamed, then raised his head and looked at Hanyu Hideki.

The two looked at each other.

puff-

Then they laughed together for no reason.

In this way, the two of them returned to the house in Shirokanedai District.

After entering the door, Hanyu Hideki saw Nakamori Akina walking into the cloakroom, seemingly planning to change clothes.

He hurriedly followed, "Don't change yet."

"Huh?" Akina Nakamori looked puzzled.

"This is what I want."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he pulled the girl into his arms with great force as she screamed.

An encounter suddenly started.

Wait until the clouds collect and the rain stops.

The two of them were already lying in the bedroom.

Hideki Hanyu called the chef and asked him to help prepare dinner.

Then he turned around and asked Akina Nakamori, "What do you want to eat?"

Akina Nakamori said in a lazy tone, "Don't be too spicy..."

"no problem."

After explaining to the chef, Hanyu Hideki got up to clean up the situation.

After all, we can't let the chef walk in and see clothes all over the floor.

As for Nakamori Akina, the girl's physical strength is exhausted and there is no need to count on it.

When tidying up to the cloakroom on the first floor.

Hanyu Hideki found that because of the excessive movement just now, the valuable handmade kimono had been torn into disarray.

It seems that the damage in this battle is a bit expensive.

Can be slightly savored.

That feeling, hiss——

Although it is expensive, it is worth every penny.

Money is not as important as happiness.

Ok……

I'll go back and order a few more.

　Damn it!There is a brother leader!It’s my first time to become a leader!

　　Must be updated!Chatting with my brothers for [-] words!
　　Ten thousand updates will be resumed tomorrow, and the extra updates will be counted as additional updates. I will definitely not be able to finish them all in one day, so I will try to finish them at home this weekend.
