Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 400 Is your work amazing?
Inside the president's office of Uesugi Office.

President Miki Uesugi respectfully invited the shareholder representatives to sit on her boss chair.

As for the most famous beauty artist in her agency now.

The act of being directly taken into the arms of this representative and "played with".

Uesugi Miki said that she dared to be "surprised" but dare not say anything.

Judging from the rumors in the circle and relevant media reports.

Although this boss is a playboy, he also has a "bad" reputation.

But I have never heard of the other party doing anything "bullying".

After all, "Weekly Bunshun" exposed this big shot's love affairs not once or twice.

Many beauties in the industry have had scandals with each other.

But it didn't have any substantial impact on the big boss.

After all, his most dazzling identity is that he is a national teacher, a famous writer, and a popular lover that all neon women are crazy about.

Originally, because of this status, the public's tolerance for him was high enough.

What’s the matter with so many scandal targets?
First, he has no marriage partner, second, he has not disclosed his girlfriend, and third, there is no bullying scandal.

"Weekly Bunshun" can only comment on "dandy" at most.

If you want to say something bad, you don’t even have a victim subject.

And the title Playboy was applied to this big boss.

Almost equivalent to a "romantic genius" with rich emotions.

Although Miki Uesugi was not surprised by the behavior of the boss in front of her, she did not expect that the female artist in her own agency would have such a relationship with the boss.

But looking at the shy look on her female artist's face, she was willing to sit in the boss's arms.

Uesugi Miki said that if it were her place...

Ah... No, I ignored it as a matter of course.

"President Hanyu, I didn't expect you to be the representative today. I apologize for any rudeness."

That's right, the young man occupying Miki Uesugi's boss chair at this time.

It was Hideki Hanyu.

In April, Yunshang Entertainment began to contact Uesugi Office and expressed its intention to establish a cooperative relationship.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch in the sky.

The prerequisite for the cooperation is that Uesugi Office accepts capital injection from Yunshang Entertainment and becomes a subsidiary of Yunshang Department.

This is undoubtedly good news for Uesugi Office, which is on the decline.

Of course Miki Uesugi wanted to agree.

But then, the cooperation reached a deadlock due to negotiations over the specific control of share ratios.

The main reason is not Yunshang Entertainment, but Uesugi Office.

When founder Uesugi was in poor health, none of his children were willing to take over and help their father manage the Uesugi office.

In the end, with some "humility", the trouble was pushed to the youngest sister Uesugi Miki.

As a result, Yunshang Entertainment came to visit and saw that the shares of Uesugi Office could be sold for money.

Several brothers and sisters all came back, vying to say that they were also part of the Uesugi Office and how about contributing to the Uesugi Office.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see what their intentions are.

It was a lie to manage the Uesugi office and help his seriously ill old father to take care of his worries.

When Yunshang Entertainment acquires Uesugi Office, it is really important to get a share of the pie.

There are even people who think that the firm can grow and develop because of Yunshang Entertainment's investment in the company, and want to take away the management rights of Uesugi Firm from their sister.

The brothers and sisters fought for their own interests, leading to a deadlock in cooperation negotiations.

Under this situation, the old father Uesugi took charge of the ward, redistributed the shares of Uesugi Office, and confirmed his youngest daughter as the successor, and finally settled the dispute.

But things don't end there.

What the old father originally meant was that since the brothers and sisters had shares, they should work together to discuss cooperation with Yunshang Entertainment for their own benefit.

But as a result, several brothers and sisters saw that the firm had nothing to do with them, so they simply sold their father's land and felt sad.

He directly passed over the younger sister and started to contact Yunshang Entertainment privately to sell shares.

As a result, Yunshang Entertainment did nothing and got the opportunity to "defeat them one by one, divide them and resolve them".

Without going through the head of Uesugi Office, Miki Uesugi, he directly took over most of the shares of Uesugi Office.

He suddenly became the actual controller of Uesugi Office.

Of course, as a giant, Cloud Entertainment will not be satisfied with this.

They further took over half of the shares held by Uesugi Miki.

And today is the day to sign the final contract and completely take control of Uesugi Office.

Yunshang Entertainment notified Uesugi Miki last week that it would arrange a representative to handle business.

Uesugi Miki originally thought that at most there would be a middle-level cadre from Yunshang Entertainment.

Unexpectedly, the person coming turned out to be the boss behind Yunshang Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu.

Uesugi Miki felt at that time that the standard of the reception meal she arranged for noon was a bit too low.

But looking at the beauty held in Hanyu Hideki's arms.

Uesugi Miki also seemed to understand something.

Hitomi Kuroki, who quit Takarazuka last year and was impressed by her sincerity before signing, might be the reason why the other party chose Uesugi Office.

(Hitomi Kuroki·Student girl photo)

"President Uesugi, you're welcome."

Hideki Hanyu responded simply and waved to the assistant who came in with him.

Ishihara Chie immediately placed a document in front of Uesugi Miki.

The final share transfer contract officially given to him by Asako Hirohashi.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Uesugi Miki and arranged the work directly.

"In the future, Uesugi Office's main business will focus on variety actors and comedians. Your father started a business in Yoshimoto, and he also has good connections in the folk animation circle. Yunshang Entertainment will arrange people to assist you and pick up these connections again. stand up."

Hanyu Hideki noticed Uesugi Office because of Hitomi Kuroki.

But it was not because of Kuroki Hitomi that he was determined to make an acquisition.

There is a saying that is good.

"Those who are greedy for money will prosper, but those who pursue love will achieve nothing."

In terms of career, Hanyu Hideki has never been driven by "love" to do anything.

Everything he did was ultimately for profit.

Although the Uesugi office is not big, when he checked the information, he found that it was an office that was well connected in the variety show actors, comedians, and manga performance circles.

And this circle can be a relatively closed field in the neon art world.

It is difficult for other firms to extend their tentacles.

Although the new president, Miki Uesugi, was not able to inherit this part of the network well due to her own reasons.

But with the help of Yunshang Entertainment, these connections can still be saved.

Therefore, the acquisition of Uesugi Office can very well fill the gap of Yunshang Entertainment in this area.

Although Yunshang Entertainment has never thought about being the first in every field.

But with cloud satellite TV, there must be no gaps. Otherwise, at critical moments, it is easy to be targeted due to shortcomings.

Therefore, this is the reason why Yunshang Entertainment moved into Uesugi Office.

As for Kuroki Hitomi, it was just a trigger.

Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, Uesugi Miki, who was reading the contract, looked startled.

He asked in a cautious tone, "What about the other business?"

Hanyu Hideki frowned and said, "Do you need me to teach you this too?"

Seeing that the boss was obviously impatient, Uesugi Miki said quickly.

"No need...no need..."

She is not an idiot herself, and now she has probably figured out why Yunshang Entertainment likes Uesugi Office.

Miki Uesugi had already read the contract in her hand before, and now she just checked it again to see if there were any other additions or deletions.

Therefore, after quickly reading the contract, he stamped and signed it neatly, completely handing over the leadership of Uesugi Office.

Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Miki asked Hanyu Hideki carefully, "Does the office need to make any other changes? For example, should the name be changed?"

After all, the Uesugi Office can be considered a cloud-based agency now, so it seems normal to be asked to change its name.

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "No need, just do what I just told you."

"Yes, President Hanyu." Uesugi Miki continued to ask, "Then do you want to speak to the employees of the office?"

"Someone will come to assist you in the follow-up work. Just leave the speeches to them."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki seemed to have no patience to talk to her, Uesugi Miki said with a wink.

"Then I'll go out and appease the staff. If you need any instructions, just inform me directly."

Hideki Hanyu waved his hand, "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Uesugi Miki walked out respectfully.

Assistant Ishihara Chie also left, and helped Hanyu Hideki close the door to the president's office.

In the president's office where everyone else had left.

Hideki Hanyu said after quietly doing it, "I lost weight."

Kuroki Hitomi, who was hugged by Hanyu Hideki in front of the president of the office and had been shyly burying her head in the man's chest, asked with some confusion when she heard this.

"how do you know?"

"It feels different from before." The scumbag looked like he was remembering.

"Hey! (I hate it)" Kuroki Hitomi looked shy.

"I still like the feeling of meat before. Eat more in the future, otherwise I won't like touching it anymore." The scumbag pretended to be serious.

"Hmph! I don't like you touching me." Kuroki Hitomi acted arrogantly.

"Then don't touch it."

The scumbag tried to pull away and leave.

As a result, the beauty shyly pressed the man's hand and said softly.

"Ya Mie Tie..."

……

And just when the scumbag was teasing the beauty in the office.

In the office on the third floor of Uesugi Office.

Uesugi Miki gathered everyone and began to announce loudly.

"You all have seen who came this morning, and you should have been able to guess something. So I am now officially announcing to you that from today on, Uesugi Office will be a subsidiary office of Yunshang Entertainment."

"Yeah! Awesome!"

"Long live the president!"

"We are also in the Cloud Series, so can we also appear in the TV series of the Cloud Series?"

"Don't forget there are ads!"

"Movie! Movie! I want to make a movie!"

"Cloud Satellite TV is preparing several variety shows recently. Can we also apply for hosts?"

……

After Miki Uesugi told the news, the whole office was filled with joy.

There was an endless stream of discussions.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

There is no one in the neon entertainment industry who does not yearn for the resources and treatment of Cloud Entertainment.

But in the past, everyone had no chance to post it.

Who would have thought that his president would join the Yunshang team without even realizing it.

Everyone is rejoicing for a brighter future.

Uesugi Miki looked at everything in front of her with joy and bitterness.

Fortunately, after being sluggish for a long time, Uesugi Office finally burst out with enthusiasm that had not been seen for a long time.

But the bitter thing is that none of this is because of her.

but it does not matter.

Yunshang Entertainment has promised that she will still be in charge of the new Uesugi office.

With the support of Yunshang Entertainment, Uesugi Miki believes that she will do better.

only……

Uesugi Miki looked at the agency artists who were having a heated discussion.

According to the development route mentioned by Hanyu Hideki, after Uesugi Office undergoes business transformation, those variety actors and comedians will definitely receive resource investment from the parent company.

As for the others, she doesn't know what the future holds.

Next, Miki Uesugi called several subordinate brokers into the conference room and briefly explained the future transformation direction of the firm.

After listening to this, the agents had different moods.

There are variety actors and comedians under his management, so naturally he is smiling, and he feels that the opportunity has come to make a comeback.

Can have managers who mainly work with other types of artists.

The mood is like a roller coaster. Just now I felt that my customers can enjoy the resources of Yunshang Entertainment.

As a result, Uesugi Miki's words were like a bolt from the blue, pouring cold water on them.

On Uesugi Miki's left hand, a female manager stood up immediately.

"What about Kuromu Hitomi? She just..."

This female agent's name is Fujisaki Rizada, and she is regarded as Uesugi Miki's most valued right-hand man in Uesugi Office.

Therefore, after signing Hitomi Kuroki, Miki Uesugi handed over Hitomi Kuroki to the other party.

But this time, Fujisaki Rizada only said half of what she said.

When she found out, the president Miki Uesugi, who usually treated her like a big sister, glared at her with eyes as sharp as knives.

He even interrupted her words unceremoniously with scolding.

"shut up!"

After Uesugi Miki stopped Fujisaki Rizada's words, she continued to warn in a serious voice.

"Now that you've seen it, you should understand what can and cannot be said."

Uesugi Miki said, looking at everyone present.

"The same goes for you. Remember to inform others that you don't know anything about today's events and keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you know better than me the consequences of offending such a big shot!"

"Hey!" Everyone stood up and bowed in response.

Rizada Fujisaki, who just wanted to talk about things with Hitomi Kuroki, seemed to realize something at this time, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her temples unconsciously.

Uesugi Mei was delighted to see everyone look like this, and was very satisfied.

Hideki Hanyu may not care what little people say.

But she cares.

And the reason why she made such a fuss out of a molehill was to use the name of a big shot to establish her authority and improve the previous lax atmosphere due to poor management.

Of course, the way to govern one's subordinates cannot be strictly strict.

After hitting a stick, a sweet date will be given next.

"I know what some of you are worried about. If you don't have any relevant artists, don't worry. I will ask my father to contact my old friends and recommend new relevant artists to you.

There is a huge gap in cloud entertainment, so artists, old and new, don’t have to worry about resources and work.

do you understand? "

"Understood!" several agents replied in unison.

And Miki Uesugi’s stick-and-carrot approach is also quite effective.

The agent who had been looking sad just now was obviously in a much better mood now.

There are even those with bright minds who have decided to take the initiative and sign new comedians.

The reshuffle of firms represents opportunities.

Whether you can seize the opportunity to stand out depends on this critical period.

At this time, Uesugi Miki said to everyone again.

"Okay, it's almost time. Let's invite people to the hotel we have booked and prepare for the reception of the luncheon."

After Uesugi Miki finished speaking, Fujisaki Risada, who had regained her senses when she asked the rash question just now, immediately came over and asked in a low voice.

"The hotel we booked earlier is used to entertain Mr. Hanyu. Wouldn't it be a bit rude?"

Uesugi Miki put on a confident expression, "Don't worry, big shots like that usually don't stick to trivial matters, as long as we are sincere."

In fact, she was just pretending to be confident, and she was also unsure.

But now it's too late to temporarily change places. We can only hope that Hanyu Hideki is as casual as she said, and doesn't care about pomp and circumstance.

And at the same time.

In the president's office, the young man and woman reunited after a long separation and rekindled their old relationship. After kissing me and me, they didn't really do anything exaggerated.

After all, although Hanyu Hideki is a scumbag, he is not so impatient that he messes around in other people's territory.

He patted Kuroki Hitomi and signaled the other party to get up first.

Hanyu Hideki called Ishihara Chie in.

The assistant seemed to understand what to do, and immediately took out a contract from the document bag and handed it to Kuroki Hitomi.

"What is this?" Kuromu Tong asked.

"In the equity transfer contract, except for the Yunshang Entertainment Holdings part, the rest of Uesugi Office will be transferred to your name."

"I don't want it." Kuroki Hitomi put down the contract.

Hitomi Kuroki's character is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, which makes her particularly stubborn at times.

But the scumbag is also experienced in dealing with such women.

Sometimes, you can't be too polite.

To tame a strong horse, you must have the means to train a strong horse.

Waving his hand, he signaled Ishihara Chie to go out first.

After Ishihara Chie went out and closed the door.

The scumbag immediately snorted coldly, stood up from the chair, and walked straight towards Kuroki Hitomi.Then……

There were screams, slaps, and begging for mercy in the office.

Not long after, Chie Ishihara was called into the office again.

He saw Kuroki Hitomi, who was disheveled and flushed, glaring at Hanyu Hideki in shame while stamping and signing the contract.

After Hitomi Kuroki completes the signing.

Hideki Hanyu took the contract and looked at it. After making sure it was correct, he flicked the contract with his index finger and said to Hitomi Kuroki with a smile.

"Congratulations, Hitomi-chan is already the shareholder with the largest shareholding in Uesugi Office besides Yunshang Entertainment, more than President Uesugi. Now she is working for you."

"Humph……"

Kuroki Hitomi rolled her eyes at Hanyu Hideki unconvinced.

"What? You're not convinced and you want me to deal with you again?" Hanyu Hideki made a show of getting up.

"You know how to bully me."

Kuroki Hitomi sounded arrogant, but her body was honest and she got into Hanyu Hideki's arms, for fear that Hanyu Hideki would really bully her again.

Anyway, she finally understood.

After she gave everything about girls to Hideki Hanyu, she was eaten to death by him.

The love is so deep that even if we are separated for a long time, we cannot get rid of it.

I'm afraid... I won't be able to escape in this life.

bang bang——

There was a knock on the door, and Uesugi Miki's voice came.

"President Hanyu, it's me."

After hearing this, Kuroki Hitomi hurriedly got out of Hanyu Hideki's arms and arranged his clothes.

Hanyu Hideki immediately asked Uesugi Miki to come in.

Uesugi Miki ignored Kuroki Hitomi, whose clothes were still a little messy, and said respectfully to Hanyu Hideki.

"President Hanyu, it's almost time. I have prepared a reception luncheon, and I would like to invite President Hanyu to attend."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

He hates social meals.

He usually didn't bother to attend the social banquets held by Yunshang Entertainment's partners, let alone the social luncheons hosted by a subordinate firm.

But before he said the words of rejection, he saw Hitomi Kuroki returning to his side.

I thought that although the shares were given to the woman, she should also help her stand up.

So the rejection in my mind turns into, "Okay, do you need to drive?"

Uesugi Mei was happy and worried when Hanyu Hideki agreed.

Happy Hanyu Hideki appreciated it.

I was also worried that Hanyu Hideki would dislike the poor reception.

But the arrow had to be fired, so she could only reply, "No need, it's just near the office."

"Then show me the way."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the office.

Uesugi Miki was one step behind, and when Kuroki Hitomi passed by, she helped her tie up the ribbon of her skirt that had been untied by the scumbag at her waist.

Seeing this, Kuroki Hitomi whispered, "Thank you, President Uesugi."

"You're welcome, Miss Kuroki."

Miki Uesugi's attitude is extremely friendly, which is completely different from how she treated artists before.

Under the guidance of Uesugi Miki, the group left the office building and walked along the street for a while.

Uesugi Miki pointed to a hotel across the road and said, "President Hanyu, this is the hotel."

But at this time, Hanyu Hideki's attention was on a shop not far away.

After hearing what Uesugi Miki said, he said, "President Uesugi, you take someone with you first. I'll handle a matter and will be here right away."

Although Miki Uesugi didn't know what Hideki Hanyu had to deal with, she couldn't ask more questions. She could only say, "Okay, then I'll wait for President Hanyu in the hotel lobby."

Hitomi Kuroki, who was following Hanyu Hideki, asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Returning to the one she loves again, Kuroki Hitomi doesn't want to be separated for a moment.

But Hideki Hanyu said, "No, I'll be right away."

As soon as he said this, Kuromu Tong could only reluctantly follow the others and leave first.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he walked towards the store he noticed with his bodyguards.

This is a second-hand store.

It means a shop that sells second-hand goods.

Neon's second-hand selling culture is extremely developed, and buying and selling second-hand goods here is very normal.

There are specialized second-hand shops for everything from records and tapes to furniture and cars.

The second-hand store is affiliated to an official welfare organization, mainly to provide employment for the disabled and help ordinary people provide a large-scale place for selling and exchanging used items.

Of course, there are also private profit-making shops.

The latter is relatively more professional and has higher requirements for the quality of goods.

The second-hand store that Hideki Hanyu saw this time was a private store that mainly sold electronic products.

What attracts Hideki Hanyu is not the business category of the store itself.

Instead, it was an advertising slogan written with colored pens outside the store.

"Our store has been purchasing genuine 'Pokémon Fight' used, rare/special/legendary Pokémon cards for a long time."

But before he even got close to the store, Hanyu Hideki took off his suit and put on a black mask, sunglasses, and hat to disguise himself.

After he entered the store after disguising himself, he was immediately greeted by a clerk behind the counter.

"Welcome, what product does this customer want to buy?"

As for Hanyu Hideki's neatly dressed appearance.

The clerk didn't take it to heart at all and just thought it was a cold or summer hay fever patient.

After all, it's not uncommon.

Hideki Hanyu replied, "I want to know about Pokémon Fight's Pokémon cards."

When the clerk heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Pokémon Fight Pokémon cards have been a hot commodity recently. Fortunately, the customers came at this time. If they had to wait until school was over in the afternoon, there would be no place to stay in the store."

"Are Pokémon Fight's Pokémon cards popular?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

On June [-]st, 'Pokémon Fight' units and 'Pokémon Card' card packs began to be sold at Neon.

Three days ago, Satoru Iwata reported to him the sales volume of neon.

As of June 232, the cumulative sales of 'Pokémon Fight' units, which have been on the market for two weeks, have reached [-] million units.

A total of 1320 million packs of 'Elf Card' card packs have been sold.

This completely surpassed America's sales, proving the popularity of the "Pokémon" IP in Neon and consumers' recognition of the third-generation electronic pets.

As for the total sales volume in other regions of Asia, Iwata said that it has not yet been calculated.

But based on shipment volume, it can basically reach two-thirds of neon.

Sales are good, Hanyu Hideki expected it.

But what he didn't expect was that in just 20 days, 'Pokémon Fight' Pokémon cards would form a secondary market in second-hand stores.

At this time, the clerk also answered Hanyu Hideki's question.

"More than just popularity, no one doesn't like elf cards now."

While the clerk was talking, he had taken out a rectangular wooden box from the counter and slowly opened it in front of Hanyu Hideki.

Then Hideki Hanyu saw stacks of elf cards neatly placed inside the wooden box.

All Elf Cards come in specialized plastic card boxes.

These card boxes are connected to each other. The clerk picks up one and like a bullet chain, the whole bunch is lifted up.

However, Hanyu Hideki glanced at it and found that they were all rare cards in red, yellow, and blue.

He tried to ask, "How do you sell these rare cards?"

The clerk replied, "The price is not fixed. Some popular Pokemon will be more expensive."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "What does popular mean?"

"The most important thing is of course the low chance of obtaining it, and then the cute appearance and powerful skills, such as this red fire dinosaur..."

Perhaps it was because Hideki Hanyu had a strong aura, and there were three men in black suits following behind him, so the clerk was still very patient in his answer.

I deliberately took out different rare cards and introduced them to Hanyu Hideki in detail.

Tells which cards are rare cards among rare cards.

Also tell us what is so great about it and how popular it is today.

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu asked again, "What's the price range of rare cards?"

“Common rare cards are not expensive, basically similar to the official price.

The slightly better ones usually cost more than [-] yen, and the rarer ones cost more than [-] or [-] yen.

As for the rare cards that are the most difficult to draw, there are thousands of people who want them. "

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he was a little surprised by the craziness of the secondary market for neon 'elf cards'.

You must know that the official 'Elf Card' card pack is only 1600 yen, which is 228 yen when divided into one card.

In other words, a slightly better card is issued, which is basically three times the price of the original card.

If it's rarer, you can get your money back with just one card pack.

As for the most difficult of the rare cards, you can make a lot of money if you open one.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly asked, "Brother, I see why you don't have any black special cards or golden legendary cards here. Is it very difficult to open them? Is it that you haven't been able to receive them?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "Of course it is difficult to open black cards and gold cards, but it is impossible to say that there are no cards. My store has received two black cards since it started accepting cards until now."

"Can you let me take a look?" Hanyu Hideki said.

The clerk replied, "I'm very sorry, those two cards have been sold. The black card and gold card are so popular. There are customers who have placed orders for them for a long time. We almost always buy them as soon as we receive them."

"Can you tell me the price?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

The clerk bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, I have to keep the customer confidential, so I can't tell you the specific price."

Hanyu Hideki simply changed the question, "Can you tell me, is the price more than [-]?"

The clerk looked at Hideki Hanyu, and then at the three men in black who were following Hideki Hanyu.

After struggling with his expression, he nodded slightly reluctantly.

Hanyu Hideki called him a good guy!

Of course Hanyu Hideki didn't take it seriously if he paid tens of thousands of yen.

But looking at the expression on the clerk's face, it's obvious that [-] is just a starting point.

He really didn't expect that an 'Elf Card' would be fired to such an extent.

"What about the gold card? Is it more expensive?"

"That's for sure. Although I haven't seen it, I heard that the second-hand store in the next block received a legendary fire-breathing dragon, which was bought by a big customer for 19 yen."

When it comes to matters in other stores, the clerk doesn't have so many scruples.

His eyebrows were beaming and his expression was exaggerated, as if he had experienced it with his own eyes, and he was probably bragging to his guests.

After learning this from the clerk, Hideki Hanyu had no intention of asking any more questions.

The problem of free prostitution is not his style of doing things.

In the end, he spent nearly [-] yen to buy the entire box of [-] items from the clerk, and then left the store.
After going out, Hanyu Hideki casually handed the 'Elf Card' he bought to Marco.

"I remember you said that your child also likes to play with electronic pets, so I gave it to him as a gift."

Marco didn't say anything and just accepted it.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he is still thinking about what he just learned from the second-hand store.

The secondary market for 'Elf Cards' is so exaggerated.

But he understood that this was just the beginning.

Some ordinary rare cards may drop in price over time, but the 'Elf Cards' with a lower probability will only become more expensive as time goes by.

Faced with this situation, Hanyu Hideki’s first reaction was not to involve Elf Entertainment.

Instead, he plans to ask Iwata to strengthen management and even set up a separate supervision department internally to prevent internal employees from using their brains for profit.

Because in Hanyu Hideki's view, compared with the interests of the secondary market.

The reputation of Elf Entertainment is even more important.

The reason why the secondary market of 'Elven Card' is so prosperous is precisely because consumers trust Elf Entertainment's reputation and trust Elf Entertainment to control the chances of obtaining high-end cards.

Therefore, Elf Entertainment must not let down the trust of consumers.

It could take years for Elf Entertainment to build that trust.

But it only takes a small thing, a moment, to destroy this trust.

Elf Entertainment itself cannot be both a referee and a player. It must leave everything to the market.

The secondary market for Neon's "Elf Cards" has developed to such an extent. It is conceivable that America, which was launched earlier than the Neon market, will only be worse in the secondary market.

Therefore, control must be strengthened in America, Europe, and the entire East Asia, and a separate supervision department must be established.

The main precautions are still in the factory and internal personnel.

After all, on the sales side, he has decided to let the pirated cards go. Since counterfeiting can be checked at any time, it will not affect the secondary market of genuine cards.

While thinking about it in his mind, Hanyu Hideki had already arrived at the hotel that Uesugi Miki mentioned.

But what surprised him was that he didn't see Miki Uesugi after entering the hotel.

Out of etiquette, Uesugi Miki should greet him here.

Ordinary neon people would not make such stupid mistakes.

Just when Hanyu Hideki was about to ask the hotel attendant about the location reserved by Uesugi Office.

But he saw a woman in her 30s wearing a black suit trotting up to him.

The woman bowed to him and said respectfully.

"President Hanyu, I am Rizada Fujisaki, Miss Hitomi Kuroki's manager. President Uesugi has something to deal with temporarily. Please ask me to take you to the banquet hall."

"Then let's go." Hanyu Hideki asked casually while following Fujisaki Rizada, "What happened to President Uesugi?"

"Toei has a movie that also had its closing banquet at this hotel today. Their main creative staff met the old president of the agency. When they knew that we were also there, they came to care about the old president's physical condition, so President Uesugi temporarily Rushed over."

"I see."

Uesugi Miki temporarily walked away because of this kind of thing, so Hanyu Hideki couldn't be angry.

It was probably just a coincidence that the other party had just left and arranged for Rizada Fujisaki to greet him, but he happened to enter the hotel.

But he was a little curious as to what kind of movie Toei came here to hold a closing banquet for.

Then he asked, "Do you know the names of Toei's crew?"

"The name of the movie is Avatar, directed by Toyoichi, and adapted from the original work by writer Junichi Watanabe. In fact, Miss Hitomi Kuroki was invited to participate, but Miss Hitomi Kuroki refused."

After hearing Fujisaki Rizada's answer, Hanyu Hideki thought that this was really a coincidence.

If it hadn't been for the script of this movie, he wouldn't have been possessive and chased Hitomi Kuroki to his apartment.

Maybe there wouldn't be anything like today.

But it was already in the past, and Hanyu Hideki didn't care much.

Anyway, apart from being famous, this movie only has so much box office success.

Junichi Watanabe is a well-known writer.

Toyo Kazuya is also a great director.

But he didn't like either of their styles, so he had no intention of becoming friends.

Following Fujisaki Rizada, the two of them soon arrived at the door of an open restaurant.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a bunch of people standing there talking.

Facing him were Uesugi Miki and Kuroki Hitomi.

As for the people with their backs to him, there were several men and women.

Only a few of them he knew.

For example, the one who looks the oldest and wears brown glasses is the supervisor Toyoichi. There is also a woman standing next to him, who seems to be Toei actress Yoshiko Mita.

He had met the two before when he attended the Neon Film Academy Awards.

There was also a man wearing glasses who was talking to Kuroki Hitomi. He had met him before when he participated in a literary salon. He was Junichi Watanabe, the original author of "Incarnation".

On Watanabe Junichi's arm was a young woman in her twenties, with beautiful appearance and bright makeup, wearing a yellow dress.

But I don’t recognize this woman, Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki really didn't want to deal with these people, so he was going to change the direction and go around.

But at this moment, he vaguely heard a few conversations.

"Haha...thank you Miss Kuroki Hitomi for your help...if not...I wouldn't have been able to...appear in Mr. Watanabe's work..."

The one who said these words was the young woman holding Watanabe Jun's arm.

Although he couldn't hear clearly, Hanyu Hideki could smell the strange and sarcastic tone in his words from a distance.

"Yes...it's such a pity...I gave you a chance...you didn't cherish it...if you are willing...I don't mind giving you another chance..."

This is Junichi Watanabe talking.

It was vague, but Hanyu Hideki could distinguish the condescending smell of charity.

And in the end, no one in the entertainment industry knew what this old bastard meant by that naked temptation and transaction.

Everyone around didn't think there was anything wrong with a great writer like Watanabe Junichi saying such things.

In the neon entertainment industry, women without background have to accept a lot of unfairness and sacrifice.

Hitomi Kuroki has become somewhat famous in Takarazuka.

But basically they all exist dependent on Daichi Mao. After all, in Takarazuka, the popularity of the female servants is very different from that of the male servants.

In the early 80s, the two participated in "Night Hit" together. Mao Daichi was the protagonist, and when it was her turn to introduce Hitomi Kuroki, she was just Mao Daichi's friend and partner.

That's why it was so difficult for Hitomi Kuroki to develop in the entertainment industry, and no one would take her previous fame in Takarazuka seriously.

Hanyu Hideki found that when faced with Watanabe Junichi's words, Uesugi Miki seemed to want to remind him something, but was interrupted by the tall Watanabe Junichi.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki's entire face gradually became gloomy.

Originally preparing to take a detour, he immediately walked in the direction of the group of people.

As the distance got closer, Watanabe Junichi's voice became clearer.

"Miss Kuroki Hitomi, you'd better decide quickly about the opportunity to star in my work..."

But this time, Watanabe Junichi hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then I heard a sneer coming from behind.

"Haha...what? Your old bastard's work is amazing, isn't it?"
