Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 371 The Prince Comes to the Door
Yanai Masa's home this time is not much different from last time.

But there were far fewer guests.

Last time there was Masayoshi Son and his family, but this time there is only Akina Nakamori.

Because I had so much fun yesterday, I ruined the kimono.

Today the girl has a new look.

A white skirt, a wool jacket on the upper body, and a pearl necklace Hanyu Hideki gave him in Hong Kong.

Her hair was combed back and tied with a large white bow silk scarf.

It looks very life-like, but it shows the care that girls take when dressing up.

So it's normal, but it's not rude.

Yanai Masaru still lives in the old house.

The other party's new house in Shibuya, like Hanyu Hideki's Master House, is still under construction.

The weather is cloudless today, the sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.

After Hanyu Hideki and Nakamori Akina arrived, they sat in the courtyard again.

Not far away, several chefs were preparing the beef that Hanyu Hideki wanted to eat.

They are all Kobe beef flown in overnight.

But today I came here mainly to talk about things, and eating was secondary.

Although the matter to be discussed was very important, Hanyu Hideki did not dismiss Nakamori Akina.

He was willing to bring Akina Nakamori here because he trusted the other party.

This girl is now deeply in love, and her whole heart is attached to him.

Don't tell me you know some secrets.

Even if Hanyu Hideki asked the other party to retreat immediately, he probably would not hesitate.

As the saying goes, those who are loved always feel confident.

The scumbag has completely taken control of the girl.

But since Yanai Tadashi invited him here, he naturally wanted to talk about Uniqlo first.

After the polite meeting, Hanyu Hideki asked directly, "What do Yanai-san think about the development of Uniqlo?"

Yanai Masaru said, "I think Uniqlo's development is still too slow."

"slow?"

Hanyu Hideki asked strangely, "We already have forty stores in Neon, right?"

"To be precise, there are 41 stores. There is a new store in Kyushu opening next week." Yanai Masa explained.

Hideki Hanyu said, "According to Yanai-san's operating strategy of only direct sales and no franchises, the speed is actually very fast."

"It's not enough. In my opinion, Neon's local store size will increase to at least [-] stores this year. Overseas, I plan to open ten to fifteen stores."

Yanai Masaru expressed his plans.

This doubled expansion speed really surprised Hideki Hanyu.

He looked at Yanai Masaru and said, "Uniqlo's current funds may not be able to support such a rapid expansion."

Yanai nodded, "Yes, that's why I called Hanyu-san. I plan to launch Uniqlo immediately."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu tapped the table with his fingers, and his whole body fell into thinking.

After a while, he told Yanai, "I don't think it's a good decision to go public now."

Seeing Hanyu Hideki, who had always supported him, suddenly put forward different opinions, Yanai Tadashi was a little surprised.

"What worries do you have, Hanyu-san?"

"It's not the right time yet," Hanyu Hideki said.

"Let's hear it specifically."

Yanai Tadashi is not afraid of Hanyu Hideki's suggestions. As long as they are useful suggestions, he has no reason not to accept them.

What he was afraid of was that Hanyu Hideki opposed his idea of ​​going public for other reasons.

Although Hanyu Hideki has never interfered in the management of Uniqlo.

But in Uniqlo and Fast Retailing, the combined shares of Hideki Hanyu and Yukio Tanaka can achieve absolute control.

Although the Tanaka family is a family friend, everyone from Mrs. Tanaka to Yukio Tanaka is now closer to Hideki Hanyu.

As long as Hanyu Hideki objects, the Tanaka family is likely to side with Hanyu Hideki.

If the dispute really comes to the point where the controlling stake is used to speak for itself, I'm afraid Uniqlo will not be far away from splitting.

This is something Yanai Tadashi absolutely does not want to see.

After all, Uniqlo and Fast Retailing have developed to their current scale and laid such a solid foundation. It took Tadashi Yanai too much effort and there were too many coincidences.

Even Yanai Masaru has no confidence in whether he can succeed if he does it all over again.

Hanyu Hideki saw Yanai Masaru's worries.

But he didn't care.

As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the oblique shadow.

Uniqlo will certainly be a very powerful company in later generations.

After all, Yanai Masaru can be promoted to the position of Neon's richest man.

In this time and space, Uniqlo was born ahead of schedule and developed even better than in its previous life.

But even so, Hanyu Hideki has never planned to get involved in Uniqlo management.

If he had this intention, he would not have cooperated with the Yanai family and the Tanaka family in the first place, and would have simply started his own business.

And among his current investments, Uniqlo may not even be ranked among the top three in terms of potential.

Hanyu Hideki has no intention of fighting for power and profit, but only considers the development of Uniqlo.

Therefore, he believed that as long as he expressed his thoughts, Yanai Tadashi would definitely dispel his inner doubts.

"Yanai-san, we must admit that in order to develop rapidly in recent years, the financial status of Uniqlo and Fast Retailing is not good. Even the listing conditions of the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange cannot be met, right?"

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's question, Yanai answered, "Yes, but for an IPO, the requirements can be met in a short time through accounting operations."

In this era, it is not too common for Neon listed companies to make false accounts.

This kind of thing can be easily done by choosing a stock underwriting club with a strong background.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, whom Hideki Hanyu just met yesterday, said this when he was arrested for falsifying accounts in a listed company in the future.

"We have done this before, why can't we do it now?"

It can only be said that in today's crazy era of rapid development.

There are too many things hidden under the colorful foam.

"But this will inevitably affect the development of Uniqlo, and will also leave some bad information in the hands of others, won't it?"

Hanyu Hideki looked at Yanai Masaru, "As long as there is a slight mistake, Yanai-san will probably be in a lot of trouble in a short time, let alone the development of Uniqlo."

Yanai Tadashi wanted to refute Hanyu Hideki.

Nowadays, everyone is doing this, so why should there be problems when we do it?

But even he can't guarantee that there won't be any problems if Uniqlo goes on the market.

It takes a long time to spend a lot of time and money.

In the end, if it is not completed, the listing failure is only one aspect.

It will definitely affect the development of Uniqlo.

"But if going public is not feasible, how can Uniqlo seize today's development opportunities?"

Yanai Zheng's tone was a little anxious.

After all, the opportunity is never to be missed, and it will never come again.

Hideki Hanyu shook his head, "I have no objection to Uniqlo going public."

Yanai Zheng heard this and showed a strange expression, wondering why you didn't object to saying so many words just now.

"I'm just against going public now," Hanyu said.

"Huh?" Masashi Yanai waited for Hanyu Hideki to explain.

Hanyu Hideki said, "In my opinion, the current stock market is not hot enough. We can still wait. After all, the better the market is during the IPO, the better it will be for us."

The Nikkei Index in March was just over 1 points, and it was only over [-] points by the end of the year.

Wait a minute, it won’t be too late to wait until the Nikkei Index reaches [-] points before going public.

Anyway, there is no way to escape the fall in the end.

Since you want to make money, make a big deal at the craziest time.

"As for the funds needed for the development of Uniqlo now, let's solve it with loans for the time being."

"We already have a lot of loans. I'm afraid it won't be easy to continue borrowing, and we won't be able to get much funds."

Yanai Zheng expressed his concerns.

It's not that he didn't think about getting a loan, but the problem is that Uniqlo's model is not favored by banks.

What do banks like most today is stocks and real estate.

Other industries must be moved to the back.

In addition, loans are a double-edged sword. If development goes smoothly, everything will be easy.

If things don't go well, the heavy principal and interest will become a burden that crushes the company.

"Yanai-san, this matter can be easily solved. Yanai-san can go back and arrange for someone to make an investment plan, calculate the required funds, and then leave the loan to me."

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly.

At worst, he will guarantee it personally, or Elf Entertainment will guarantee it.

With his presence, those cooperating banks will not have any problems getting loans.

As for whether there is any risk in his guarantee for Uniqlo.

Not to mention that as long as Uniqlo develops at its current pace, the possibility of success is very high, and it will even reach a level that surpasses its previous life.

Even if a problem does occur, in Yanai Masaru's view, funds will be needed to solve the problem by going public.

To him, it can only be regarded as small money.

It can only be said that Uniqlo is developing rapidly.

But it can no longer keep up with his rapid development speed.

If it weren't for him, he would still want to cooperate with Yanai Tadashi.

Otherwise there is such a thing as lack of funds.

It would be easiest for him to directly join forces with Yukio Tanaka and forcefully inject capital into Uniqlo and Fast Retailing, thus diluting Tadashi Yanai's shares.

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Yanai Tadashi felt inexplicably complicated.

When I first met Hideki Hanyu, he was still a penniless boy.

Yukio Tanaka had to help with the outfits for the awards ceremony.

Later, he became famous by writing books, but setting up a firm still required investment from him and Yukio Tanaka.

But in just a few years, Yanai discovered what he saw as trouble.

For Hideki Hanyu, it is no longer worth mentioning.

But what made Yanai Tadashi feel relieved and relieved.

Hanyu Hideki did not want to do anything to Uniqlo because of his own wealth growth.

Just as Hideki Hanyu thought, this time Hideki Hanyu would force Yukio Tanaka to inject capital for the sake of developing Uniqlo.

Even if he didn't want to, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

But Hideki Hanyu chose a "selfless" approach.

This made Yanai Tadashi feel grateful to Hanyu Hideki.

Thinking of this, Yanai Masaru said in a sincere tone, "I'll leave the loan to Hanyu-san."

"We are partners, why are you so polite? I'm a little hungry whether the meat is ready or not."

Hideki Hanyu touched his belly.

Although I had eaten breakfast before coming here, I played a few games last night and took the time to exercise with irons in the morning, so I was getting hungry very quickly.

"I'll go and have a look, you guys continue talking."

Yanai Masaru's wife, Yanai Teruyo, took the initiative to get up and get the food.

Seeing that the conversation between her husband and Hanyu Hideki went very smoothly, she was actually quite happy.

After all, my husband has been a little worried since he came back from his overseas inspection.

Obviously after talking to Hanyu Hideki today, the problem will be solved.

After Yanai Teruyo left, Hanyu Hideki remembered another purpose of his trip to Yanai's house.

Then he said to Yanai Masaru, "Yanai-san, since we have decided to put Uniqlo on the market, we might as well do something to help Uniqlo increase its popularity before doing so."

"What's going on?" Liu Jingzheng asked.

He was curious about what Hideki Hanyu planned to do.

“Some time ago, I founded a fashion magazine in Hong Kong, but the areas covered by that magazine were Chinese-speaking areas and Southeast Asia.

I plan to set up its Neon version in Neon, and then the magazine will take the lead and join forces with other partners, such as the Tokyo Governor’s Office and our Uniqlo, to hold a new fashion show in Tokyo. "

"fashion show?"

Masaru Yanai didn't expect that Hideki Hanyu's thinking would jump so much.

Just now we were talking about Uniqlo going on the market, why did it suddenly jump to a fashion show?

"That's right." Hanyu Hideki nodded.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to succeed in holding a fashion show in Tokyo, right?" Masa Yanai asked.

If Uniqlo can serve as the organizer of an influential fashion show, it will certainly increase the brand's influence.

But the thing is, the fashion world is different from the gaming world.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu asked Game Base to organize the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition has developed to the influence it has today.

That's because the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition is a pioneer and the first to eat crabs. It's not surprising that it develops smoothly without competition.

But in the fashion industry, European forces are deeply entangled and control most of the discourse, and have already occupied the market.

Nowadays, let alone neon, even America does not have the confidence to speak when facing the European fashion industry.

Suddenly there is a new fashion show in Tokyo.

If you want to break out of the tight encirclement and build a reputation, the difficulty is simply hellish.

"If we imitate European and American fashion shows, it will certainly be difficult to succeed in Tokyo, but as long as we don't imitate them and adopt a completely different style, we still have a great chance of success."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Yanai Masaaki asked curiously, "What style does Hanyu-san plan to use for the fashion show in Tokyo?"

Facing Yanai Masa's question, Hanyu Hideki smiled and said two English words.

"real clothes."

Literally translated, it probably means 'real clothes'.

But what Hideki Hanyu wants to express is actually 'practical clothes'.

To put it more bluntly, it is "down to earth".

Yanai was such a smart man, and he immediately vaguely understood what Hanyu Hideki meant.

Akina Nakamori, who was very sensitive to fashion, could guess a little bit and asked out of curiosity, "Does Hanyu-kun want to adopt a pragmatic style?"

Hideki Hanyu snapped his fingers and praised Nakamori Akina.

"My Akina is so smart."

"No way, I'm just guessing."

Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed to be praised in public by her beloved.

"Actually, I brought Mingna with me today because Mingna has great ideas about clothing design and I want Mingna to help give her opinions."

Having said this, Hideki Hanyu began to state his thoughts.

“The fashion show we want to set up must first be focused on women.

It is correct to say that it is a pragmatic style, but not entirely correct.

I want to completely leave behind the fashion model defined by the European fashion industry.

No need for those high-end luxury brands.

There is no need to have the same height, you need to be thin, stylish, and have a recognizable model.

There is no need for a fashion extravaganza that can only be viewed from a distance.

We want to create a fashion show that belongs to the general public and is specifically for Asian women.

It's not even called a fashion show, it's called a performance.

at our booth.

From 1.5 meters to 1.7 meters, regardless of height, fat or thin, round face or small face, cup cup A or D, skin color dark or light, all girls can become models.

The clothes they wear must look good, be practical, and must be mass-produced rather than individually designed for fashion shows.

The price of each item is within the reach of ordinary people.

We want ordinary people to see the fashion show and the matching clothes on the models, and then they can buy one and wear it at home. "

That's right, the fashion show Hanyu Hideki was talking about.

It is Neon's most prestigious Tokyo Girls Collection (Tokyo Girls Show), which will be hosted by F1 MEDIA in the future.

That is TGC.

Even in China, netizens who are not familiar with fashion have watched various video clips of TGC online.

That completely belongs to the public's aesthetic, and the down-to-earth clothing design seems to be out of the scope of European and American fashion, but it has won the love of ordinary people.

Of course, most good friends still do it to admire beautiful neon girls.

Clear and bright, Yuko Araki is stunning in all directions (pictured).

Ikeda Yiraisha (pictured) sways up and down and is known as the shaking sand.

There is also the petite, cute and charming Suzuki Airi (pictured).

In short, there are too many beautiful girls, and Hanyu Hideki has been watching them in his previous life.

Now that time travel is too early, these girls can’t see it.

But it is not impossible to create TGC in advance and discover beautiful neon girls in the 80s.

The most important thing is that there are so many benefits to hosting TGC.

The organizer can be led by the magazine, but if it is hosted, Cloud Entertainment can keep up, which can invisibly boost its own artist resources.

We must know that in later generations, many Japanese and Korean female stars will choose to perform on TGC.

Then cloud satellite TV broadcast can help TV stations attract paying users.

As one of the organizers, Uniqlo has even more benefits.

Improving influence is only one aspect.

Targetedly designed clothing, openly displayed at TGC, will undoubtedly greatly increase sales.

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, Yanai was deep in thought, thinking about the feasibility of this unprecedented fashion show that Hideki Hanyu said.

Next to her, Akina Nakamori showed an interested expression.

He took Hideki Hanyu and started chatting.

"Hanyu-kun, you said..."

In short, what Akina Nakamori said and asked were all about the details of the fashion show envisioned by Hanyu Hideki.

Talking incessantly and with great interest.

It wasn't until Yanai Masaru's wife, Yanai Teruyo, directed the servants to bring the cooked beef that she finally interrupted Nakamori Akina's words.

Seeing how interested Nakamori Akina was, Hanyu Hideki said directly.

"Okay, if Akina is really interested, how about I put you in charge of setting up the fashion show organizing committee after the magazine is established?" Upon hearing this, Akina Nakamori said excitedly, "It's really okay. ?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "Of course, the first session is just an attempt. As long as you grasp the theme, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes."

In Hanyu Hideki's view, if Akina Nakamori participated in the first TGC, it would be a small gimmick.

It can better help promote the popularity of fashion shows.

After all, Akina Nakamori is much more popular now than in the original time and space.

Thanks to the promotion of Yunshang Entertainment, she has become Neon's first diva-level singer.

"Then leave it to me!"

Nakamori Akina's face was full of excitement, but soon she became a little entangled, "But I also want to go on stage and catwalk."

"Haha, these two things don't conflict and can be done together."

Having said this, Hideki Hanyu made another suggestion, "When the time comes, you can completely cooperate with Uniqlo, design your own clothes, and then wear the clothes you designed on the stage."

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Nakamori Akina became more and more looking forward to the fashion show that had not yet revealed her horoscope.

He urged impatiently, "Hanyu-kun, hurry up and make preparations. I already have countless design ideas in my mind!"

Hanyu Hideki's words also gave Yanai a flash of inspiration in his mind full of business thinking.

If a popular idol like Akina Nakamori, a diva-level singer, designs her own clothes and then makes a joint model with Uniqlo.

I think the sales volume will definitely not be bad.

But the premise of all this is the smooth holding of the fashion show.

After all, no matter how good the clothes are or how good the gimmicks are, they still need a stage to show them off.

Therefore, inexplicably, Yanai Masaya became very interested in the fashion show Hanyu Hideki mentioned.

After all, according to the fashion show style mentioned by Hanyu Hideki.

It is really suitable for Uniqlo, which takes the affordable warehousing route.

Thinking of this, Yanai asked Hanyu Hideki, "When will Hanyu-san start preparations?"

"It's definitely too late now. After all, the magazine hasn't even been launched yet, and it takes time to organize. And according to my plan, this fashion show will be held twice a year in spring, summer and autumn and winter. This year's time has already passed."

After Hideki Hanyu answered, Akina Nakamori next to him asked again.

"Hanyu-kun, have you thought about what to call this fashion show?"

Hanyu Hideki thought for a while and finally said the name of his previous life.

"Tokyo Girls Collection."
-
After chatting about business and enjoying a delicious beef dinner, Hanyu Hideki took Nakamori Akina and said goodbye to Yanai Masaru.

After leaving Yanai's house, Nakamori Akina also said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki.

As a popular artist, Nakamori Akina's schedule has already been packed.

Being able to spare half a day today has already eliminated a lot of work.

There are still programs to be recorded in the afternoon. If you delay any longer, you will be late.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he also has things to be busy with.

After separating from Akina Nakamori, he hurried to Elf Entertainment.

There were already two people waiting for him in the president's office.

It was at the exhibition that we made an appointment with Square President Masashi Miyamoto and Chief Game Producer Hironobu Sakaguchi.

"Sorry, I was delayed by something at noon and kept you two waiting for a long time."

After entering, Hideki Hanyu apologized to the two of them in advance.

"President Hanyu is so polite. In fact, we have just arrived."

After the polite exchanges between the two parties, Hanyu Hideki got straight to the point.

“The reason why I invited these two people to come to Elf Entertainment is because I think they have unique aesthetics and creativity in game design, as well as solid story design ideas. In my opinion, this is the best way to develop a classic game. Necessary conditions.”

Hanyu Hideki's words made the two of them very happy, "Thank you very much for Chairman Hanyu's recognition."

But the joy in their hearts had just risen when Hanyu Hideki immediately poured a basin of cold water on them.

"However, although aesthetics, creativity, and story are important, having these does not mean that a successful game can be developed, because these require mature development technology to present, and you obviously lack the ability in this area."

"Mr. Yusheng, we understand this, but Square's technology and funds are limited." Masashi Miyamoto was a little helpless.

Although he is a son of a wealthy family, the problem is that his father only wants him to inherit the family business.

Giving him the 1000 million entrepreneurial capital is the last chance.

Once he runs out of money.

His father will never give him any more money to support his dream, but will let him go home.

"So this is why I asked you two to come here. I can't bear to let your talents be buried. Elf Entertainment has the most complete third-party assistance plan. As long as you need it, whether it is technology or funds, Elf Entertainment can provide it." .”

Hideki Hanyu told the purpose.

Masashi Miyamoto was born into a wealthy family. He had been influenced by his father since he was a child, so he naturally understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Therefore, in the face of Hanyu Hideki's kindness, he asked his concerns, "What does Elf Entertainment want?"

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki showed a kind smile.

"President Miyamoto, please relax. Elf Entertainment's assistance to third parties is only for the purpose of helping the platform obtain more excellent games. It definitely does not contain any malicious intent. There are many types of our assistance methods. President Miyamoto You can choose according to your needs.”

Masashi Miyamoto asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Hanyu, can you tell me briefly?"

Hanyu Hideki showed a helpless expression, "Actually, the people in the review department are responsible for these matters, but since you were invited by me, I will briefly talk about it."

When Miyamoto Masashi saw this, he immediately understood that he was a little rude.

The Hanyu Hideki in front of him is, after all, a successful entrepreneur who can be equal to his father.

But at this time, he was used as a cooperative consultant when he needed help.

Fortunately, Hanyu Hideki didn't care, otherwise if he refused directly, he would only be embarrassed.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki also began to introduce.

“The first method of assistance is for you to submit a complete game design plan, including the specific design plan of the game and what technical or financial support is needed.

The evaluation department of Elf Entertainment will conduct an evaluation, and you will receive assistance after passing the evaluation.

During the assistance process, Elf Entertainment only participated in game development projects and was not involved in the management of the club.

And after the game is successful, you only need to repay the support costs. Elf Entertainment will not participate in the profit distribution of the game, but only shares the game copyright with you. "

After Hanyu Hideki’s introduction, Sakaguchi Hironobu took the lead and said, “It sounds pretty good.”

Miyamoto Masashi nodded, "It's very good, I can completely accept it."

Seeing the reactions of the two people, Hideki Hanyu smiled slightly.

His introduction, of course, was about picking it up.

Although Elf Entertainment does not participate in profit distribution, the games developed with assistance and related sequels can only be released on Elf Entertainment's platform.

In this case, from production costs, royalties, platform sharing, and sales channel sharing, Elf Entertainment will make a lot of money.

Moreover, in the case of shared copyright, peripheral operations must also be left to Elf Entertainment.

In addition to channel fees, Elf Entertainment will distribute the profits generated from this part according to the proportion of shared copyrights.

"I have said that President Miyamoto does not need to worry at all. Our assistance program has been running for almost two years and has assisted more than fifty game development projects around the world. So far, there have been no problems."

Hideki Hanyu first boasted about himself, but he did not forget to remind him.

“The first method of support I’ve mentioned is suitable for developers who already have mature game design plans, but lack technology and funds, because it is very difficult to apply for a plan. After all, our technical strength and funds are not unlimited. of."

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's reminder, Miyamoto Masashi suddenly smiled bitterly.

Hironobu Sakaguchi even spread his hands, "It seems that we have no hope with this support method."

Although they have some ideas on game design, it is obviously impossible to come up with a mature plan that can pass the review in a short time.

Square's current situation can no longer sustain it for much longer.

"President Hanyu, are there any support methods that are easier to pass?" Miyamoto Masashi asked.

Hanyu Hideki said, "Of course there is, but the conditions for support methods that are easy to pass will be more stringent."

"Of course we are prepared for this. Please tell us about it, President Hanyu."

After seeing hope, Miyamoto Masashi no longer cared about being rude or not.

Now he just wants to get support from Elf Entertainment and then invest in the development of new games as soon as possible.

He completely gave up his father's idea of ​​letting him return home to inherit the family business.

Hanyu Hideki said, "There is another support method, which is more relaxed in the examination of the applicant, but the applicant must accept the capital injection and shareholding of Genie Entertainment."

"Excuse me, what is the shareholding ratio required by Elf Entertainment? Is it necessary to hold a controlling stake?" Masashi Miyamoto asked the question that concerned him most.

He does not object to Elf Entertainment investing in and holding shares, but he does not want to lose control of the club.

"President Miyamoto, please rest assured that Elf Entertainment is providing assistance, not annexation.

The capital injection is only to ensure the interests of Elf Entertainment and ensure that the supporting party uses the funds correctly and can complete the game development project.

What we want is a developer who can be independent and help add excellent games to the Genie Entertainment console platform, not a puppet who is at our mercy.

Therefore, the proportion of our shareholding will be judged based on the funds you need and the valuation of the club, but the upper limit is not to hold a controlling stake, so please rest assured on this point. "

These words of Hanyu Hideki temporarily relieved Miyamoto Masashi from worries.

After all, it was Hanyu Hideki who said not to hold a controlling stake, so the credibility is still very high.

Then continue to ask, "What will happen if we are injected with capital and hold shares?"

Hideki Hanyu said with enthusiasm.

"Then you are on your own. Elf Entertainment will provide assistance in all aspects of game design, development, and distribution. You can also enjoy rights such as exemption of royalties and lifting of restrictions on the number of cassette productions. The specifics will be revealed when the contract is signed. knew."

Hearing this, Miyamoto Masashi and Sakaguchi Hironobu looked at each other.

I vaguely feel that these conditions are still very good.

But it was impossible for them to agree immediately.

So Miyamoto Masashi said, "President Hanyu, please let us consider it. Besides, it will take time to prepare the application materials."

"Of course you can consider it. After all, it is a big deal."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and emphasized again.

"But you were invited by me after all, so I can give you some convenience.

That is to think of a game design plan, even if it is dictated to me, as long as I am satisfied, I will make the decision and directly let Square pass the second support review. "

Hearing this, Miyamoto Masashi suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to ask calmly.

"What about the deadline?"

"I will go to America on the 31st, please do it before then."
-
March 26th.

The day after Hanyu Hideki and Yanai Tadashi met.

Inside a 23-story office building in Shimbashi, Minato-ku.

Hideki Hanyu took the elevator to the fifth floor.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw a new club that had obviously just completed renovations.

From the elevator to the entrance of the company, there are all kinds of congratulatory flower baskets, large and small.

On the flower baskets, you can see the names of many companies.

Singapore Zhenhua Factory, South Korea's Samsung Semiconductor, Hon Hai Plastics, Damu Logistics...

Looking inside through the glass door of the club, you can see the club name and logo in English on the wall.

Elf Promotion.

It can be understood as elf communication or elf promotion.

This is the copyright peripheral operating club jointly established by Yunshang Entertainment, Yunshang Culture, and Elf Entertainment.

The LOGO of Xinhui has nothing to do with several cooperative companies.

It is a newly designed LOGO.
In the middle of the LOGO, there is a blue pattern that looks like elf wings.

To the left and right of the pattern are the initials E and P of the company name.

Below is the company name.

But this is the official LOGO, which will be used on Xinhui’s products in the future.

It will only come with the Elf Entertainment LOGO, or the blue wings pattern in the middle of the Elf Communication LOGO.

Today is the day when the new club is officially established.

All the partners sent congratulatory flower baskets, and as the big boss, Hanyu Hideki naturally wanted to be there to witness it.

As soon as they reached the door, the receptionist stood up and came to greet her. She said respectfully, "President, President Kitahara is receiving guests from South Korea in the office."

Hideki Hanyu nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he walked towards Kitahara Eri's office.

When he first renovated this club, Hanyu Hideki emphasized that there was no need to prepare an office for him.

After all, he rarely even goes to Elf Entertainment's office, so it's likely that even fewer people will come here.

Setting up a separate office for him is a complete waste of space.

Hideki Hanyu arrived at the door of the office. After Eri Kitahara's assistant said hello to him, he quickly contacted Eri Kitahara in the office on his landline.

Soon, Kitahara Eri came out.

"Hanyu-san came just in time. The representative sent by Samsung today is an important guest, and he expressed his desire to meet you."

"Huh? I would like to know who Kitahara-san calls an important guest?" Hanyu Hideki asked curiously.

"Hanyu-san will know when he comes in."

Kitahara Eri greeted Hanyu Hideki into the office.

Then Hideki Hanyu saw a very familiar person.

It's just that when he saw the other party's image in the media later, the other party had already entered old age.

Now the other party is in his 40s and in the prime of life.

No wonder Kitahara Eri said that the other party was an important guest.

Because the person who came was none other than the third prince of Samsung, Li Jianxi.

The eldest brother and the second brother stabbed their old father in the back one after another. One was imprisoned in a mental hospital, and the other was imprisoned and sent to America.

The family farce of the wealthy Samsung family of "Kowloon seizing the legitimate son" has finally come to an end.

Now the third prince, Li Jianxi, is already the confirmed heir to the Samsung Empire.

Especially when Samsung’s founder is in poor health.

Li Jianxi has actually begun to take over the family business one after another.

As we all know, the heir apparent is extremely optimistic about the semiconductor industry.

Today, Samsung Electronics, Samsung Semiconductor and Telecom are all managed by the other party.

Therefore, in terms of business, we also cooperate with Elf Entertainment.

For example, the semiconductor components on electronic pets and some peripheral toys are provided by Samsung or directly produced by OEM.

And Hideki Hanyu also knew that with the signing of the first semiconductor agreement between America and Neon in September this year.

And the founder of Samsung passed away, Li Jianxi officially took over the Samsung empire.

Samsung Semiconductor and Telecom will be officially merged into Samsung Electronics.

Then he started his own "second venture".

After Neon was sanctioned, it actively absorbed Neon technology transfer while investing heavily in the semiconductor industry, which will lead to the glory of Samsung Electronics in the future.

Of course, the rise of Samsung cannot be explained in a few words.

But it is undeniable that the man in his 40s has played a vital role in the development of Samsung.

"Mr. Hanyu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Hideki Hanyu entered the office, Li Jianxi took the initiative to stand up and greeted Hideki Hanyu in English proficiently.

"Mr. Li, I'm very happy to meet you too."

Hideki Hanyu stretched out his hand and shook it.

Then they both sat down and started talking politely.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hanyu for the establishment of Elf Communication. I hope our cooperation will be as pleasant as before."

"Samsung is a very powerful senior company. Whether it is Elf Entertainment or Elf Communication, we need to learn more from Samsung."

"Mr. Hanyu is too polite. Elf Entertainment can develop to its current scale in a short period of time. I should learn from Mr. Hanyu. My father actually wants to see you very much, but it's a pity that his recent physical condition is not very good. "

"Mr. Li is too polite. I should visit him in person. After all, Samsung has provided a lot of help in the development of Elf Entertainment."

"Mr. Hanyu, if you have time, please be sure to come to South Korea as a guest, so that I can do my best as a landlord."

"Definitely, I also really want to learn from Samsung's business experience..."

The two chatted for a long time.

Hanyu Hideki could feel that the three-star prince wanted to say something several times, but he hesitated.

Therefore, he guessed that the other party's visit to Neon this time was not simply to congratulate the establishment of Elf Communication.

After all, Elf Entertainment has a huge demand for semiconductor components.

But due to Samsung's technical problems, the orders it can give are not many.

Thinking of Samsung's future technology development model.

The thing that makes the other person care about me seems to be...

Hideki Hanyu thought of something.

However, although he has plans to cooperate with South Korea, now is not the time.

Therefore, faced with the temptation in Li Jianxi's words, Hanyu Hideki always refused to accept the move.

"Mr. Li, please rest in the hotel first. I will personally entertain you at the banquet in the evening."

Until Hideki Hanyu sent Li Jianxi out to spread the spirit.

Hanyu Hideki did not give the other party a chance to tell his purpose.

Samsung is of course the giant in South Korea.

But nowadays, it is still just relying on the upper-level connections to rest on one's laurels and create a monopoly.

Throughout the world, Samsung in 1986 was not as well-known as Elf Entertainment.

Before the reorganization, Samsung's semiconductor industry was still in a state of fragmentation.

Samsung Electronics and Samsung Semiconductor cannot pee in the same pot as each other.

Samsung mobile phones are probably still in the design and reverse imitation stages.

Samsung DRAM, which will dominate the world in the future, may not even have an idea.

As for the display panel industry that Samsung is proud of, it is still in the stage of conquering monochrome LCD technology before it can absorb Neon's technology and talents.

With this level of technology, let alone supplying it to Elf Entertainment.

Even Neon, a manufacturer of calculators, may find it lagging behind.

As for other technologies, there is no need to even talk about them.

Therefore, for Hanyu Hideki, Samsung may be very powerful in the future.

But now Samsung is just an ordinary partner.

He is not the one asking for help.
