Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 404 each with their own minds

Howard Schultz is not very old. He was born in 1952 and is only 34 years old this year.

Among entrepreneurs at this age, they are definitely considered young.

Just looking at the appearance and temperament, it is completely different from America's rough and crazy style.

Wearing a slim-cut suit, he has a very Italian fashionable male feel.

It’s no wonder that in this day and age, an alternative coffee shop like Starbucks can be built in America.

Hideki Hanyu was looking at Howard Schultz.

Howard Schultz was also sizing up Hideki Hanyu.

The first impression is that of being too young.

And with that healthy figure and handsome facial features, he doesn’t look like an entrepreneur, but like a male star from Asia.

It seemed like the only Asian actor he knew was named Zun Long.

I can't say who is more handsome, but compared to Zunlong's temperament, the one in front of me has a more elegant feel.

Especially sitting there with gold-rimmed glasses, like a learned scholar.

But there is one thing about Hideki Hanyu that Howard Schultz cares about, and that is the same suit style as him.

This made Howard Schultz feel good about him. He is a person who pays great attention to his image.

There are requirements for the clothing of store service staff, let alone yourself.

Hanyu Hideki was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his elegant appearance was much better than the vulgar and unkempt rich people he had seen before.

Sitting next to someone like Hideki Hanyu gave him the feeling of being with similar people, and he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Even before he spoke, there was already a feeling of like-mindedness.

However, judging from the cut and fabric of the suit, Hanyu Hideki's suit is probably more expensive than all the suits he has bought in his life.

Before coming to meet him, Dante Kane had briefly introduced his identity as BOSS to him.

Although he did not go into details, from the known identity information, we can already know that this is a super rich man who ranks among the top in the world.

Such a big shot personally reviewed his investment plan for a small coffee shop.

If Dante Kane hadn't told him that Hideki Hanyu happened to be in Seattle to customize a private jet, he would never have believed it.

But even so, Howard Schultz, who has always been confident, still inevitably felt a little nervous.

Even though he is more than ten years older than the other party.

As if sensing Howard Schultz's emotions, Hideki Hanyu smiled in a friendly manner.

He reached out and said to Howard Schultz, "Nice to meet you Mr. Howard, actually I've been to your coffee shop."

Howard Schultz reached out and shook Hideki Hanyu's hand.

Perhaps it was Hanyu Hideki's friendly attitude that eased Howard Schultz's mood and prevented him from being so nervous that he could not speak.

"I hope my coffee shop didn't disappoint you."

"The cappuccino is quite good. Judging from the style of the restaurant, I feel that Mr. Howard likes Italian food, so I made the decision privately to hold today's meeting in an Italian restaurant. I hope Mr. Howard won't be offended."

Hanyu Hideki said this with a smile, pointed to the chair opposite, and invited Howard Schultz, "Mr. Howard, let's sit down and talk."

Hideki Hanyu was so approachable, with a warm attitude and a sense of intimacy in his words that once again made Howard Schultz fond of him.

For such a super-rich man to invest so much in an ordinary person like him, Howard Schultz felt that he was respected.

Thinking about the investors he had come across before who were either arrogant or arrogant, Howard Schultz could only lament that the gap between people is really huge.

"Actually, I usually eat everything when I'm busy, but I'm still very grateful for Mr. Hanyu's hospitality."

Facing Hideki Hanyu, Howard Schultz became more and more relaxed.

And this is what Hanyu Hideki wants.

Howard Schultz didn't know that Hirohashi Asako once said something when chatting with Hanyu Hideki.

No matter who you are, you can't help but develop trust and goodwill when you come into contact with Hanyu Hideki.

For friends, Hideki Hanyu is of course a good partner and a good friend.

But this kind of talent that can easily make anyone put aside their cares and create a sense of intimacy is not a terrifying ability if you think about it carefully.

"Dante has told me Mr. Howard's investment requirements. Can you show me your plan?"

Hanyu Hideki didn't have too many polite words and went straight to the point.

"of course."

Howard Schultz quickly took out a document and handed it to Hideki Hanyu.

After receiving the document, Hanyu Hideki looked at it very carefully.
The plan was very thin, less than ten pages.

After all, a coffee shop and a supporting production workshop cannot be that complicated.

But from this thin plan, Hanyu Hideki could vaguely get a glimpse of the reason for the success of 'Starbucks'.

It would certainly be unfair to say that the success of 'Starbucks' depends solely on creating a store atmosphere.

No matter how many people say that Starbucks coffee tastes bad, or that people who drink Starbucks are just showing off, and how many shortcomings Starbucks has.

But in today's era, it can stand out from a large number of coffee shops and rank at the forefront of future chain restaurant brands.

'Starbucks' naturally has its advantages.

Apart from marketing and corporate culture, treating employees well, paying attention to quality control and other advantages are definitely important reasons for Starbucks to break through in this era.

Ten minutes later, Hanyu Hideki put down the plan in his hand.

Looking at Howard Schultz, he didn't ask anything about business, but asked directly.

"The investment amount is not mentioned in this plan. How much do you need?"

Howard Schulz had prepared many response plans in his mind. For example, Hanyu Hideki would ask him how to operate and how to produce.

But unexpectedly, Hanyu Hideki asked him directly how much money he needed after reading the plan.

This is really... the behavior of rich people.

Perhaps the funds that he considers extremely important are just a few refuelings for his private jet in the eyes of this super-rich man.

Thinking of this, Howard Schultz was not polite.

"The production workshop, coffee shop, and other supporting facilities require a total of 30 US dollars, but I will give Mr. Hanyu an investment share of 15 US dollars at most, which is 40.00% of the shares."

Hearing Howard Schultz's words, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have guessed what was going on and asked with a smile, "Mr. Howard is worried that if I hold too many shares, it will affect your control of the company?"

Howard Schultz was exposed and did not hide his feelings. He nodded and replied, "That's right."

Howard Schultz didn't want to try again at Starbucks because of the feeling of being constrained by the founder.

Therefore, even if Hideki Hanyu is rich, he is unwilling to hand over the leadership of the company.

At least in the early stages of development.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care when he heard Howard Schultz's words.

Instead, he pretended to think for a while, then tapped the table with his fingers and said.

"For $25, I only need 70.00% of the shares. Counting Mr. Howard's savings, I should be able to establish a new company immediately without having to find other investors."

"This……"

What Howard Schultz had to say.

However, Hanyu Hideki raised his hand to interrupt him and continued.

"Mr. Howard, listen to me first. If you are worried about me snatching control of the new company, that is no need.

A small investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing to me. I am investing in you, Mr. Howard, not your company.

So after confirming the investment, I can promise that except for some key matters, such as finance, financing... my investment company will not participate in any company management.

And if new investors join in the future, my investment company's voting rights on the board of directors can also be managed by Mr. Howard. "

Hideki Hanyu didn't lie.

For him, hundreds of thousands of dollars are just small amounts of money, and he doesn't care even if he fails.

And he doesn't have time to really participate in the management of 'Starbucks'.

In this case, it is better to hand over the management power to Howard Schultz, who led 'Starbucks' to success in the original time and space.

Anyway, in another time and space, Howard Schultz proved his ability.

This is better than Hanyu Hideki letting his investment company intervene in management at will.

As soon as Hideki Hanyu spoke, Howard Schultz's eyes immediately lit up.

Howard Schultz, who established a new company and solicited investment from various sources, did not feel that he could absolutely control the new company.

All he cared about was control of the new company.

When there are enough shareholders, he can use his own skills to get everything he wants, rely on his own strength to make shareholders trust him, and control the new company in his own hands.

In fact, in another time and space, when Howard Schultz held the largest shareholding in Starbucks, he was always a minority shareholder.

Even after Starbucks went public in the early 90s, its shareholding dropped all the way to only a few percent.

Now, Hideki Hanyu has made such a promise.

It is equivalent to relinquishing control of the company while resolving the investment.

Even after financing in the future, he will be his strongest ally on the board of directors.

Faced with this condition, Howard Schultz immediately sat up straight and asked seriously, "Can Mr. Hanyu's commitment be confirmed in writing in the investment contract?"

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and said, "Of course, why not."

Upon hearing this, Howard Schultz immediately stood up, extended his hand, and said to Hideki Hanyu with a smile on his face, "Welcome Mr. Hanyu to join the 'Daily Coffee'."

Hideki Hanyu took his hand and joked, "I hope Mr. Howard can make me money."

Howard Schultz said confidently, "That's for sure."

After the two let go, Hideki Hanyu waved to Dante Kane who was waiting next to him.

Dante Kane hurried over and said, "BOSS, what are your orders?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "You don't have to go back to California for the time being. You can stay in Seattle and be responsible for investing in Mr. Howard."

"Yes, BOSS." Dante replied.

After confirming everything, Hanyu Hideki acted like a polite corporal and invited Dante Kane to have lunch with Howard Schultz.

After lunch was over, he personally sent Howard Schultz out of the hotel, showing him enough respect.

Wait until Howard Schultz gets in a taxi and leaves.

Hideki Hanyu turned to look at Dante Kane who was following him.

At the same time, Dante Kane’s eyes were full of expectation.

Now that things are done, the opportunity Hanyu Hideki promised has come.

"Haha... you did a good job on this, I'm very satisfied."

Hideki Hanyu gave the first compliment.

Dante Kane hurriedly said, "This is what I should do, BOSS."

"Let's do this. After handling the investment matter in Seattle, I'll give you two options."

In the expectant eyes of Dante Kane, Hideki Hanyu slowly spoke out two options.

“The first option is to stay in the secretary’s office, but I will promote you to be the deputy director second only to Monica Bellucci.

The second option is to completely join Hope Angel Investment Company and be responsible for an investment department alone.

What are your options?Dante. "

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he saw a hesitant look on Dante Kane's face.

Two options, each with its own benefits.

If you stay in the big boss's secretary's office and rely on the boss's connections, you will undoubtedly be able to learn more knowledge, get in touch with more big shots, and accumulate connections that ordinary people cannot have access to.

But the problem is that he is only the second-in-command, and with Monica Bellucci, the first-in-command who has a close relationship with the boss, suppressing him, he will probably have to wait a long time if he wants to step forward.

As for joining Hope Angel Investment Company, the biggest problem is that you are far away from the big boss and your future is uncertain.

But the advantage is that you will become the head of the department and have the greatest freedom.

Success or failure depends entirely on your own efforts.

As long as you complete a successful investment, you can directly gain fame and fortune.

Hideki Hanyu said, "You don't need to answer me now. You can confirm it after you are done with things in Seattle."

"Okay, boss."

Dante Kane wiped the sweat from his head and replied.

It was indeed difficult for him to make an immediate decision on such an important choice.

"That's it, I'll leave the matters in Seattle to you. I will arrange people who want angel investment to work with you. If there are any changes, please report to me at any time."

"Yes, boss."

After explaining these matters to Dante Kane, Hanyu Hideki did not stay in Seattle for long.

We drove directly to the airport and boarded the Elf to return to Los Angeles.

Today is already July [-]th.

By accident, I stayed in Seattle for almost a week.

When we arrived in Los Angeles, it was already past four in the afternoon.

As a result, as soon as he got into the Rolls-Royce he received, he received a call from the Yunshang Film Tower in Century City.

On the phone, Fred Weber asked in a strange tone, "Boss, did you forget who you made an appointment with?"

"Appointment? What appointment? I haven't made an appointment with anyone recently?"

Hideki Hanyu’s head was full of questions.

If there is an appointment with an important person, the secretary following him will definitely remind him.

"Then why is there a lady named Chen who said that she has made an appointment with your boss at Yunshang Pictures? She has been waiting at the company for a week and will not leave after get off work today. She looks like she wants to stay in the company. .”

As soon as Fred Weber said this, Hanyu Hideki immediately thought of Chen Zhong he met in Inglewood.

He didn't expect that the other party would take his casual remarks seriously.

This woman is really troublesome.

Thinking of this, he said in an unhappy tone, "Do you still need to ask me about such a trivial matter? Drive her out. Do I have to go see anyone who says they have an appointment with me?"

"Yes, I understand."

Fred Weber agreed and hung up the phone.

While driving in the Rolls-Royce, Hanyu Hideki immediately put the incident behind him.

He could have ended everything, but soon received a call from Fred Weber.

Then, his whole face sank.

After leaving the airport, he planned to send Jenny Wright back to North Hollywood first.

Now, we can only go to Century City first.

In Yunshang Film Building, Hanyu Hideki led a group of people into the office.

Then, led by employees, we walked to a conference room.

Looking sideways at an angle, Hanyu Hideki saw Chen Zhong in the conference room, wearing a long white dress, disheveled hair and a haggard face.

The most important thing is that the other person is holding a pair of scissors.

On the palms, you can still see some blood stains.

Fred Weber was standing at the door, persuading him.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu arrive, Fred Weber hurried over to explain, "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well."

Hanyu Hideki frowned and asked, "How could it be like this?"

"It was going well at first. She had agreed to leave, but she said she wanted to borrow the company's phone to use. But after the phone call, it turned into this. Apart from wanting to see you, she only spoke Chinese and couldn't understand what was going on. What.

If something happens to her in the company, it will definitely affect the company's image, so I can only call you. "

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu felt a little dizzy.

But the matter is now over, no matter how crazy this woman is, she must resolve the matter first.

"Let her put down the scissors first." Hanyu Hideki ordered.

He didn't want to meet an emotionally unstable person with scissors in hand.

Fred immediately returned to the door of the conference room and said a few words inside.

Soon, I saw a pair of scissors thrown at the door.

Only then did Hanyu Hideki step into the conference room. Except for his bodyguard Marco, he did not let anyone else follow him.

In the conference room, Chen Zhong saw Hanyu Hideki appear.

First he looked happy, and then started talking to himself in despair, and he was still speaking in Chinese.

"It's useless, it's too late, the movie has already started shooting, and the heroine already belongs to someone else...

Why...why...why I gave up everything and was willing to be scolded by so many people to come here. I wash dishes, I work as a waiter, I am willing to do that kind of movie, why can't I succeed!

Why is this beautiful country unwilling to give me a chance? Why..."

Hearing the other party's desperate, angry, and unwilling murmurs, Hanyu Hideki chuckled.

"Haha...a beautiful country?"

Hanyu Hideki's words immediately attracted Chen Zhong's attention.

Not only was the ridicule in Hanyu Hideki's words, but the most important thing was that Hanyu Hideki actually said it in Chinese.

Her words are clear and her emotions are clear, and her standards are no less than her as an actress.

"You...you...can speak Chinese?" Chen Zhong said in surprise.

"I have always liked Chinese culture." Hanyu Hideki gave a casual explanation.

Only then did Chen Zhong come to his senses. Putting aside Hanyu Hideki's standard Chinese dialect, she couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't think this country is beautiful, why are you here?"

"Innocent……"

Hanyu Hideki showed a disdainful expression.

Then he walked out the window of the conference room, looked at the bustling Los Angeles business district, and said with a profound tone.

"The America in my eyes is different from the world in your eyes."

He is now one of the richest men in the world.

Standing at different heights, you can see that the rules of how the world operates are naturally different.

The America of this era is not as good as that of later generations.

But the foundation upon which this country was built has never changed.

Whether it's beautiful or ugly, it's just a cloak for the capital of cannibalism.

People like Chen Zhong, who are brainwashed by beauty, come here to pursue their so-called dreams.

Regardless of success or failure, it is just used as firewood for people like him who control capital.

As for what the other party is experiencing now, does it have anything to do with him?
He doesn't sympathize and he doesn't care.

There is no plan to explain the truth and help the other party change his mind.He didn't like this woman at all.

So as long as the other party doesn't die on his territory, he doesn't care what he does.

Chen Zhong said unconvinced, "What's the difference? It's just you rich people who are making things up."

"If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you don't understand. It's useless for me to tell you."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the woman, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

It would be easier to call the PC over, but if you don't have an American-style meal, you can directly physically destroy the opponent.

But as Fred said, as a Hollywood entertainment company, it's better not to mess with this kind of news.

Chen Zhong's emotions finally calmed down a lot at this time. Although she felt that it was too late, she still told her the purpose of coming.

From the time Dino asked her to strike up a conversation with Hideki Hanyu at the barbecue restaurant a week ago, until she failed to complete the introduction work, she had to come to Yunshang Pictures every day to guard Hideki Hanyu.

Today, I learned on the phone that the crew of "Taipan" has started filming and the role has been given to someone else.

Therefore, the bitterness and helplessness that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out, and the emotions could no longer be controlled.

"Why didn't you just say that that day at the barbecue restaurant?"

Hanyu Hideki clearly remembered that Chen Zhong talked a lot with him in the barbecue restaurant and had enough time to make introductions.

"I……"

Chen Zhong was speechless for a moment.

Hanyu Hideki raised his eyebrows and smiled, but did not try to reveal the other person's thoughts.

It was just that he was eager to express himself and completely forgot about what Dino told him.

As for Dino…

Hideki Hanyu continued to ask, "Dino? Is it Dino De Laurentiis?"

"Yes." Chen Zhong replied.

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu recalled the day when Bill Hart wanted to introduce an Italian producer to him, but he refused.

It seems that the one Bill Hart wants to introduce is Dino De Laurentiis.

I thought he was an ordinary producer, but now it seems that he was wrong.

This Dino De Laurentiis, before coming to Hollywood, called himself the "godfather" in the Italian film industry, and there was absolutely no objection from anyone.

In the 50s, the films produced by the other party's De Laurentiis Pictures successively achieved success in Italy, especially in several major European film awards.

It sounds great, but considering the size of the Italian film industry and even the European film industry, it's just that.

After entering the 70s, Italian films continued to decline, and Dino De Laurentiis had to come to Hollywood to develop.

Before leaving, Dino De Laurentiis handed over the Italian De Laurentiis Film Company to his nephew Aurelio De Laurentiis.

And his nephew, who would later be the chairman of Naples Club, was called "German" by fans.

Moving on to Dino De Laurentiis who came to Hollywood.

The other party's De Laurentiis Entertainment Group in Hollywood mainly shoots low-cost, routine independent films, making steady money.

However, as the company grew, the other party also began to try high-cost movies.

But compared to his luck and vision in small-budget movies, Dino De Laurentiis' luck and vision in big-budget movies can only be described as bad.

Looking forward, there is the well-known director David Lynch's "Dune" in 1984, which cost 4000 million in exchange for 3000 million at the box office.

And this year, there have been a series of big production hits.

For example, his wife Martha De Laurentiis serves as the producer of "Edge" starring Schwarzenegger.

and "Blue Velvet", which was produced by Dino De Laurentiis himself and directed by David Lynch.

There is also a remake of the company's 1975 'King Kong'-themed movie, 'King Kong Reborn'.

With so many big multi-million-dollar productions hitting the market, even big studios can't handle it, let alone De Laurentiis Pictures, which operates on a shoestring.

In fact, not only big productions, but also small productions did not perform well enough this year, such as "Big Class" starring Chen Zhong.

In this precarious situation, Dino De Laurentiis also invested in a movie that a rock singer came up with, "Angels in the World."

The result was as expected. "Angels in the World", a large-scale production that cost 800 million U.S. dollars, only received 1987 million U.S. dollars at the box office after its release in 200.

A wave of success sent De Laurentiis Entertainment Group away, causing the company's logo to completely disappear from the big screen.

And "Angels in the World" was sent away together with a group of film creators.

For example, Michael Knight, a leading male actor who originally had a bright future, later had a bleak star career and could only appear in soap operas.

For example, the heroine Emmanuelle Béard, a French actress whose journey in Hollywood was interrupted, had no choice but to return to Europe for development.

It wasn't until the 90s when he collaborated with Tom Cruise on "Mission: Impossible" that he gained some success in Hollywood.

Thinking of this actress, Hideki Hanyu still feels quite pity.

After all, being chosen to play the role of Angel, one can imagine his good looks.

And scumbag men have never been able to resist beautiful women.

In addition to the French beauty, American actress Phoebe Cates, who plays the second female lead, was also deceived by this movie.

Phoebe Cates, who became popular through TV series, was relatively famous before and had a good fan base.

I originally planned to rely on this movie to break into Hollywood, but after the movie was blocked, I couldn't even get a major role.

Eventually, he got married and had children, and gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.

(Phoebe Cates Photo)
For a movie, the company went bankrupt and all the creative staff were wiped out.

This shows how serious the consequences of failed projects are in Hollywood.

It can also be seen that Hollywood, the place with the most developed entertainment industry in the world, has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.

So many people disappear every year because of failed projects.

But there is still a steady stream of new people emerging.

The level of fierce competition is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

No wonder the person in front of me lost a female character and was dying in the conference room.

However, although he was not interested in this woman, he was still very interested in Dino De Laurentiis.

All because of an IP held by the other party.

"King Kong".

Speaking of the copyright of "King Kong", it can be described as a mess.

In the 70s, Dino De Laurentiis spent $20 to buy the filming rights to "King Kong" from RKO, allowing him to independently produce the "King Kong" movie.

Later, RKO was acquired by Warner, which had already bought the rights to "King Kong" from the Cooper family. Naturally, Warner wanted to take back the filming rights from De Laurentiis Entertainment Group.

When Dino De Laurentiis was filming "King Kong", Warner sued De Laurentiis Entertainment Group in order to stop the filming and fight for the copyright.

As a result, Warner lost the lawsuit.

De Laurentiis Entertainment Group has retained the filming rights to "King Kong".

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Chen Zhong, "Contact Dino De Laurentiis and say you have seen me."

"It's too late now." Chen Zhong said in a lonely tone.

"Contact me as soon as I ask you to do so. Stop talking nonsense. It's just a role in a small-budget movie. It's just a little late. As long as you can contact me, Dino knows what to do."

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly.

For Dino De Laurentiis, the role of Chen Zhong is not a problem at all as long as he can get to know him.

"Really?" Hope rekindled in Chen Zhong's eyes.

"Do I need to lie to you? Go make a phone call." Hanyu Hideki said impatiently.

Whether the other party worships foreigners to the core or wants to please the white man, Hanyu Hideki doesn't care.

After all, women of this type are everywhere in Neon, and he has long been used to them.

If he hadn't wanted to contact Dino De Laurentiis to avoid letting the Italians notice anything, this woman wouldn't have even the slightest use value to him.

Chen Zhong was filled with despair at this time, and Hanyu Hideki was the only life-saving straw she could hold on to.

Therefore, he could only follow Hanyu Hideki's instructions, enter the office, and dial Dino De Laurentiis' number.

Dino De Laurentiis on the other side of the phone said in an unhappy tone immediately after hearing Chen Zhong's voice.

"Why are you calling me again? Didn't I already tell you that your role is gone?"

"Mr. Dino, I saw Mr. Hanyu."

As soon as Chen Zhong said this, Dino De Laurentiis on the other end of the phone immediately showed joy.

His tone suddenly softened, "Have you told him that I want to get to know him?"

Chen Zhong thought of Hanyu Hideki's instructions and replied, "I said it, but he wants to know, what do you want to see him for?"

"I have some film investment matters that I want to discuss with him."

"Okay, I need to go back to find him. Just wait a moment and I'll call you back later."

After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he hung up the phone and raised his head to look at Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki, who was watching the whole process, thought for a while and said, "Just say that I only have time tonight. If you want to meet, go to ***** and wait for me."

Hideki Hanyu mentioned a restaurant address.

When Chen Zhong heard this, he couldn't wait to call back.

However, Hideki Hanyu stopped him, "There's no need to call back so quickly."

"Then I..." Chen Zhong was a little confused.

She had no idea what Hideki Hanyu wanted to do.

"If Dino agrees, you will definitely go with him, so what you have to do now is to clean up your image first."

After Hanyu Hideki said this, Chen Zhong realized that not only was her hair disheveled now.

His hand was cut by scissors when he lost control of his emotions. Not only was there blood on his hand, but his white dress was also stained.

Chen Zhong said, "But it's too late for me to go back and change clothes now."

"Jenny!"

Hanyu Hideki shouted outside the office.

Jenny Wright, who was still waiting for Hanyu Hideki, heard this and hurriedly walked into the office.

Hideki Hanyu looked back and forth between Jenny Wright and Chen Zhong, and found that they were about the same height and figure.

Then he said to Jenny Wright, "Bring up that Chanel little black dress and high heels you bought in Seattle."

Jenny Wright seemed to realize something, her expression was somewhat reluctant.

Hanyu Hideki said angrily, "Go and get it. I will take you to buy a new one another day."

Hearing this, Jenny Wright immediately put her expression aside and prepared to get something.

Hanyu Hideki did not forget to remind him, "Remember to change your clothes and come with me to meet people later."

"Ok."

Jenny Wright left happily.

The reason why he brought the blonde beauty was because Hideki Hanyu didn't want to be alone with Chen Zhong.

More than half an hour later, Chen Zhong changed into a Chanel little black dress, silver high heels, arranged her hair, and put on light makeup. She no longer looked like the crazy woman she had just been.

This is the first time since she came to America that she has dressed up in such a "high-end" style.

She just felt that she was more beautiful than ever.

I deliberately showed my beauty in front of Hanyu Hideki.

But who would have thought that as soon as they got closer, they would hear Hanyu Hideki's impatient voice.

"I've been dawdling for so long, why don't you hurry up and make a call."

"Oh."

Chen Zhong had no choice but to lower his head and make a phone call.

Next to Hideki Hanyu, Jenny Wright, who had already put on new clothes, showed a disdainful smile after seeing that Chen Zhong failed to show off and left in dejection.

She deliberately held Hanyu Hideki's arm and showed off to Chen Zhong without any secret.

Hideki Hanyu didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of intrigue between women.

He was thinking about how to bring the topic to "King Kong" after meeting Dino De Laurentiis.

Don't be too proactive, lest you arouse Dino De Laurentiis' suspicion.

After all, this Italian has been immersed in the European and American entertainment circles for many years and is a veritable old fox in the circle.

Once his true purpose is exposed, he doesn't care if he gets ripped off.

But it would be troublesome if Warner was involved.

Although the "King Kong" movie has continued to hit the market in recent years, Warner Bros. is still eager to take back the filming rights.

Just before he could figure it out, Chen Zhong next to him had already finished his phone call.

"Mr. Hanyu, Mr. Dino said he would wait for you in the restaurant."

"I understand." Hanyu Hideki replied casually.

Although I haven't figured out a way yet, I can only take it one step at a time, and adapt to the situation after meeting.

In the following time, Hanyu Hideki first found Fred and asked him to strengthen the company's security to prevent things like Chen Zhong from happening again in the future.

After seeing Fred off, he called Hibiscus Garden to express that he might have to go back later because of something else.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hanyu Hideki took the two women and rushed towards the appointed restaurant.

In the Rolls-Royce, Jenny Wright sticks to Hideki Hanyu in various intimate poses.

The main reason why the woman did this was to demonstrate to Chen Zhong.

Perhaps in Jenny Wright's view, Chen Zhong, who is Asian like Hideki Hanyu, is also a member of the lower class of Hollywood and poses an unprecedented threat to her position around Hideki Hanyu.

Because she could tell that Chen Zhong, like her, was the kind of woman who was willing to sacrifice everything for success.

She knew very well how tempting Hanyu Hideki was to people like them.

But in the seat on the other side of the Rolls-Royce, Chen Zhong felt a little restrained.

But for Jenny Wright’s demonstration, it seemed as if she didn’t see it.

In Chen Zhong's opinion, although the blond woman in front of him was beautiful, her thoughts were too simple and she lacked the power.

She believed that with her own methods, there would be no problem at all in dealing with this woman or even taking advantage of her.

Because she was out of control today, she felt that Hideki Hanyu was very dissatisfied with her.

So whether he can get close to Hanyu Hideki again may depend on this blonde woman.

The Rolls-Royce carried two women with small calculations and quickly arrived at their destination.

A Chinese restaurant.

After Hideki Hanyu entered the restaurant with two women, he reported the reservation information to the waiter and was taken to a private room.

In the box, he met Dino De Laurentiis.

This is a round-faced, short old man.

After Hideki Hanyu appeared, Dino De Laurentiis smiled and stood up to shake hands with Hideki Hanyu and say hello.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Hanyu. In fact, I had heard of Mr. Hanyu's name before Yunshang Pictures was established."

In front of Hideki Hanyu, Dino De Laurentiis kept his posture very low.

This also made Chen Zhong, who was standing next to him, once again realize the power of Hanyu Hideki himself.

"Mr. Dino, you're welcome. My partners in Italy have also heard from you."

Compared to Dino De Laurentiis.

Hanyu Hideki's attitude can only be described as ordinary.

After all, no matter how he looked at it, he had no desire or desire for Dino De Laurentiis.

Although the other party is well-known in the European and American entertainment circles.

But those names are completely meaningless to Hanyu Hideki.

So Hideki Hanyu should make the appropriate gesture.

The two parties greeted each other and sat on both sides of the large Chinese-style round table.

Jenny Wright naturally sat next to Hideki Hanyu.

Chen Zhong sat next to Dino De Laurentiis.

At this time, the waiter came in to help order food.

Dino De Laurentiis pretended to be casual and asked, "Is Mr. Hanyu's partner in Italy Bellucci Transport?"

"Ok?"

Hanyu Hideki did not expect that this old man would actually know about his cooperation with Bellucci Transportation.

Dino De Laurentiis continues to explain.

"Bellucci Transport is acquiring a logistics company in Naples. I happen to be a shareholder of this logistics company, so I took a closer look and found out that Mr. Hanyu has a cooperation with Bellucci Transport."

Italians are more vague.

Because Hanyu Hideki controls Bellucci transportation, Hanyu Investment, Elf Communication, and Omu Logistics have layers of control in the middle.

After the Italians learned about the spread of elves, they speculated that it was related to Hanyu Hideki. As for the specific relationship, he actually didn't know.

But when Dino said this, both Jenny Wright and Chen Zhong were a little surprised.

They did not expect that Hideki Hanyu actually did business in Italy.

"It turns out that it's just a small investment."

Hanyu Hideki's tone was very nonchalant.

As he spoke, he looked at Dino De Laurentiis and asked directly, "Isn't Mr. Dino meeting me this time not because of Hollywood matters, but about the logistics business in Italy?"

Of course Hanyu Hideki asked this deliberately.

Dino De Laurentiis's production company has been having major projects hit the market one after another. It's hard to guess what he, a wealthy man, is planning to do.

But if the other party didn't say anything, Hanyu Hideki wouldn't be able to take the initiative to point it out.

The current scene is.

Dino De Laurentiis Tu Hanyu Hideki's money.

Filming rights to Hideki Hanyu, Toutino De Laurentiis' "King Kong".

Two foxes, one old and one small.

Everyone has their own thoughts and needs.

It depends on who can outwit whom today.

　In reality, the copyright of "King Kong" is even more confusing than this. I will simply deal with it in the novel. If you know, please don't mind.
