Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 417 Laugh at the changing situation
  After witnessing the family problems of his assistant Uemura Reiko.

The helpless Hideki Hanyu came to the opposite building of Yunshang Culture.

Compared to the entire building opposite, Elf Entertainment is working overtime.

The lower floors of the old building of Yunshang Culture were also bustling with people.

After all, this is the office of Elf Publishing House.

No matter what time of the day, Neon Comics Magazine is an extremely busy place.

In particular, the sales of several comic magazines from Elf Publishing House are pretty good.

Moreover, the editor-in-chief Otaka Ichiji recently plans to expand the scale of the comic magazine.

Elf Publishing now collaborates with Yunshang Entertainment on celebrity magazines and photo albums, and also collaborates with Yunshang Satellite TV on the "Star Creation" program magazine.

The main magazine products are still three comic magazines: the trial monthly "Elf Luna", the main magazine "Elf Cute", and the female-oriented magazine "Elf Cupid".

In Dagao City Er's plan, he planned to separate the hot-blooded adult-oriented comics from the main magazine "Elf Cute" and prepare a new magazine focusing on hot-blooded, fighting, and adult-oriented styles.

As for the main magazine "Elf Cute", it has returned to the original daily cute style.

Odakaichi Er predicts that the new comic magazine after the separation, driven by the popularity of "Dragon Ball", may become the new main publication of Elf Publishing House.

The sales of "Elf Cute" will inevitably decrease.

And all this seems worthwhile to the top management of Elf Publishing House.

Because they feel that the style of new magazines will be the mainstream of comics in the future. After all, since the early [-]s, this sign has become more and more obvious.

So this is not because the management of Elf Publishing is too ambitious, but it is an inevitable choice for the magazine to develop to a certain extent.

The attributes of the magazine must be clearly positioned to attract specific magazine consumers.

Blindly pursuing comprehensiveness will only end up focusing on one thing and losing the other.

Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the work plan report recently sent by Elf Publishing House. Hideki Hanyu had already passed through the lower floors.

Everything was normal at Elf Publishing House, and there was no need for him to disturb everyone's work.

Arrive in front of the assistant's office on the top floor.

An assistant who had been left by Reiko Uemura to entertain the guests saw Hanyu Hideki appear and hurriedly came up to him and said, "President, the guest is in the office."

"I see,"

Hideki Hanyu walked into the assistant's office under the leadership of his assistant.

Then he saw a woman with big burgundy waves and an eye-catching figure who could be called a beauty in the world, sitting on the reception sofa in the office.

It was Lizhi, his former Asian sister champion in Xiangjiang Spring.

After recognizing the person, Hanyu Hideki frowned unconsciously.

He thought that there were quite a few women besides Neon, but whether it was Xiangjiang or America, this was the first time that a woman had pursued Neon.

He waved to the assistant who was following behind him and said, "You can get off work."

As for Marco, he didn't need Hanyu Hideki's instructions at all. He just said "I'll wait for you in the car, boss" and left on his own initiative.

At this time, Lizhi, who had already seen Hanyu Hideki, stood up and came to Hanyu Hideki with a look of joy, "Mr. Hideki, I am so happy to see you."

Hideki Hanyu just said calmly, "Follow me."

Then, he took Lizhi into his president's office at Yunshang Culture.

After closing the door, Hanyu Hideki asked directly without any courtesy, "Why did you come to Neon?"

"It's because ATV needs me to come to Neon to participate in an event as the Miss Hong Kong champion."

Having said this, Lizhi made an affectionate expression and watched Hanyu Hideki speak seriously.

"As for coming to see Mr. Hideki, it's because I miss you."

"Haha...then I'm really honored."

Hideki Hanyu smiled softly.

It would be great if he could believe half of this woman's words.

ATV arranged for the other party to come to Neon to participate in the event. This may be true.

As for the rest, he didn't think that a casual romance could make this woman have deep feelings for him.

After all, in the previous life, this woman's series of experiences clearly reflected the other party's forbearance, ambition, and shrewdness.

At the age of eight, he could ride a train alone for thousands of kilometers.

After entering the entertainment industry, she was willing to be the fifth concubine for a big boss.

Or it may be the practice of knowing the best of things, tempting others to abandon their wives and children, and then decisively looking for a successor after encountering setbacks in their career.

All prove that this is definitely not a simple woman.

She is by no means a woman who is willing to be ordinary.

After all, even Guan Meiren, a little expert at fighting, didn't chase her all the way from Xiangjiang.

Seeing that the scumbag was unmoved, Lizhi immediately stepped forward, got into Hanyu Hideki's arms, pressed her hot body against the scumbag's body, and leaned her side face gently on Hanyu Hideki's chest.

Then continue to pretend to be affectionate.

"Mr. Hideki stayed in my heart after we said goodbye last time, making me think about it day and night, so this time I came to Neon to participate in the event. After the event, I didn't go back with the others, but went through all the hard work Wan Ku came to Mr. Hideki..."

The scumbag who "travels among flowers" all year round has no reaction to women's love words.

On the contrary, the scumbag man enjoys the woman's body.

At this time, the woman was wearing a tight-fitting long skirt, which was very similar to the look in Uncle Long's movie "The Club of Two Dragons".

Therefore, the scumbag man can fully feel the touch of a woman's hot figure.

But even so, Hanyu Hideki made no further moves.

Because he didn't believe that this woman came to see him because she missed him.

He was just waiting for the woman to reveal her true purpose.

But Lizhi didn't act anxious at all.

After telling her heartfelt words, the woman put on a pitiful expression and said, "Mr. Hideki, I haven't eaten until noon. Can you take me to have something to eat?"

"can."

Hanyu Hideki immediately agreed. He wanted to know what tricks this woman could play.

In the port area, inside a western restaurant.

Hanyu Hideki accompanied Lizhi to finish dinner. After calling the waiter to pay the bill, he said to the waiter, "It's getting late. I'll take you back to the hotel."

Hearing this, Li Zhi said a little embarrassedly, "The hotel we came to with ATV has been canceled and I have no place to stay now."

"Then let me book a hotel for you."

Hanyu Hideki stood up and prepared to send the other party to the hotel.

As a result, Lizhi took the scumbag's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "It's too early to rest now. Why don't you accompany me around Tokyo? This is my first time in Tokyo."

But Hanyu Hideki ignored the woman's coquettishness and answered directly, "I'm a little tired after a busy day. I'm going to go home and rest."

"Then let me go home with you. I can actually give you a massage and help you relax."

Lizhi opened her eyes wide and looked expectant.

"Do you know how to massage?" Hanyu Hideki looked suspicious.

For some reason, when he heard about massage, he remembered the scene in the movie where Uncle Long gave someone a massage.

"Of course, when my father came back from performing when he was little, I would squeeze his shoulders," Lizhi replied.

However, although Hanyu Hideki asked about massage, that was not what he was thinking about.

He didn't want to take Lizhi back to the apartment in Shirogane Terrace.

After Nakamori Akiho participated in "Star Creation" and took over her sister's house, Xiao Pangcai moved in with him.

After that, he didn't bring any woman back to the house in Baijintai, and Lizhi was certainly no exception.

Fortunately, in Tokyo, the last thing he lacks is a house.

……

Port area at midnight.

Neon lights are like dreamy bubbles.

Tokyo Tower is colorful.

Shiba Park is dark and quiet.

A four-story apartment on the top floor with these views.

Hideki Hanyu had no intention of enjoying the night view.

Because he is entangled with the beauty, controlling something that he cannot control.

But when everything ended, Hideki Hanyu released his inner impulse.

He picked up his watch and looked at it, and found that it was already past midnight.

Ever since Yada Yoshihiro sent over the key to this place.

It all happened as soon as I walked in the door and continues to this day.

At this time, his fighting power was still abundant.

But Beauty was out of breath and looked like she was overworked.

Feeling the beauty's talent and experiencing the aftertaste just now, he was in a pretty good mood at this time.

So I didn't bother to go around and asked directly.

"You came to me this time, did you have anything else to do?"

"Everyone has said that it's just because I miss you." Li Mei's tone was lazy.

"Very well, you've seen me now, bye."

Hanyu Hideki immediately took on the attitude of not recognizing anyone.

Stand up from the bed and pretend to get dressed.

When the beauty saw this, she immediately took the man's arm and said, "Don't leave, that's all I'm told."

Hanyu Hideki stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My father is a musical actor. He used to work in the Mainland and later came to Hong Kong. Last month he went back to the Mainland to visit relatives. He felt that some places in the Mainland were developing rapidly and the demand for the performing arts market was strong, so he wanted to go back to the Mainland to start a business.

But now he faces two problems. The first is that the procedures are difficult to handle, and the second is that he does not have enough money on hand. "

Having said this, Lizhi raised her head and looked at Hanyu Hideki, "I know you have invested in the mainland, and it will definitely be easier to handle some things with your help.

Also, I want to invest in my father's business, but I don't have enough money, so I want to borrow some from you. "

After hearing what Lizhi said, Hanyu Hideki said slightly surprised, "I thought you wanted to ask me for help to find opportunities for you in the Hong Kong film and television industry."

"I participated in the Asian sister competition just to find opportunities. It doesn't matter whether I become a star or not.

Besides, people in that circle look down on me, and I don’t like the roles given to me. You can help me once, but you can’t help me forever.

Therefore, instead of trying to please others in that small circle, it is better to rely on your own efforts. "

Lizhi's words this time were rare words from the bottom of her heart.

After Wesley's movie became a hit, someone also sent him some other script invitations, but they were either good or bad, and there was basically no role that he could take on.

The most critical thing was when she witnessed Hanyu Hideki chatting and laughing with the boss at the 'Yun·Shang Charity Dinner', and all the celebrities couldn't even get a word in.

She realized right then that there was no future for being a star.

So what if you become the top star in Hong Kong?

In the eyes of a real big shot, it is still nothing.

People just casually make some money in the stock market, but celebrities can't make it even if they work hard all their lives.

As she said, participating in the Asian sister competition is to find opportunities.

And getting to know Hanyu Hideki is her biggest opportunity now.

When she was in Xiangjiang, she simply understood the identity of Hanyu Hideki, and she already knew that this was a person whose wealth was not inferior to any of the richest people in Xiangjiang.

The most important thing is that compared to those rich and elderly people, Hideki Hanyu is young, handsome, strong and healthy, and fully satisfies all the fantasies of women.

This time, due to arrangements by ATV, she came to Neon to participate in the event. Through some media magazines, Neon staff found out after repeated inquiries.

Her knowledge of Hanyu Hideki in Xiangjiang was just the tip of the iceberg.

Idol writer, national teacher, playboy, super rich man, media tycoon...

The other party has countless titles in Neon, and his reputation is simply terrifying.

Not to mention the companies founded by Hideki Hanyu, the income earned by Hideki Hanyu from writing books every year is an astronomical figure.

Because of this, I thought of the entrepreneurial idea that my father had mentioned.

Lizhi, who originally didn't want to come to her, decided to come over on the spur of the moment. Judging from Hanyu Hideki's performance just now, the man is still very satisfied with her.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was in a good mood, she boldly expressed her inner appeal.

Looking at the beautiful lady with hopeful eyes, Hanyu Hideki did not answer immediately.

Instead, he got up and walked to the sliding glass door of the apartment balcony, admiring the night view outside, and said with emotion.

"It's really beautiful."

In his previous life, when he was working overtime in a domestic metropolis, he saw a night view that was comparable to Tokyo.

But in this day and age, Tokyo’s night view is unique.

The Four Asian Tigers have not yet completely taken off.

Even America's New York is a little less interesting.

Colorful neon lights and brightly lit office buildings shine through.

So flashy, so gorgeous.

No wonder it can blow out such bright and fragile bubbles.

Reimei also came over at this time and stood naked next to Hanyu Hideki.

She looked at the beautiful scenery outside the glass, "It's very beautiful. A house with such a night view is not cheap."

Regarding the housing prices in Tokyo, she often heard their translators complain when she came here to attend events.

In the past, she only thought that houses in Xiangjiang were expensive enough.

But when I arrived in Tokyo, I realized that the real estate prices here are sky-high.

"Fortunately, it wasn't as expensive as it is now when I bought it."

Hanyu Hideki looked at Lizhi as he spoke, not hiding his admiration for the other person's majestic eyes.

Then he answered the other party's request just now, "I can help, but I can't guarantee success. As for borrowing money, how much do you want?"

Although it was a loan, as long as the amount the other party wanted was not exaggerated, he didn't bother to ask the other party to pay it back.

After all, women who can be spent with money are the most trouble-free in his opinion.

As for the other party's father wanting to start a business, he had no intention of getting involved.

It seems that there is still a market for musical and dance drama performances.

However, with the market-oriented reforms of TV series and movies, they simply cannot last long in China.

"Because you are starting a business in the mainland, you can just lend me some Chinese currency. However, some equipment and equipment need to be purchased overseas, so you also need some Hong Kong dollars or US dollars from the venue..."

Next, Lizhi explained all aspects of spending money to Hanyu Hideki in detail, from personnel to equipment, from venues to supporting facilities.

It can be seen that Lizhi carefully considered how much money was needed before coming.

I also thought carefully about the details of starting a business.

In the end, when Li Meiren told the amount of money she wanted to borrow, Hanyu Hideki found that it was not much and agreed casually.

As for the help later, Li Meiren said that she can handle it in the early stage and will come to Hanyu Hideki for help when the situation is most difficult.

It can be seen that Limei people are very interested in starting a business.

It was obviously his father's idea, but Li Meiren planned to run it as her own business.

……

July [-]th.

With the withdrawal procedures signed by Hanyu Hideki himself, Lizhi returned to Xiangjiang.

Before leaving, he carefully wrote an IOU to Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki didn't care at all and put it in the safe after returning home.

He couldn't care about such trivial matters at this time.

In the past two days in the apartment next to Zhi Park, he was obsessed with the plump figure of the beautiful woman, and he couldn't get enough of it.

But today, he decisively sent Li Mei away.

After all, today is the [-]th, the time for the Seibu Group's anniversary celebration.

He personally promised Yoshiaki Tsutsumi that he would be there to congratulate him.

Compared to discussing major issues with the richest man, women are not important at all.

Wait until he gets home to change his clothes and take care of his appearance.

It's not long before the celebration begins.

After hurriedly getting into the car, he immediately asked the co-pilot Chie Ishihara, "Are you ready for the gift?"

"The gift in the name of the club has been sent to the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in advance by the representative. Mr. Hanyu, I have put your personal gift in the trunk."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ishihara-san."

Seibu Group holds a celebration, and of course not only private individuals want to congratulate it.

Cooperative companies basically send representatives to deliver gifts.

Hideki Hanyu has a special status. If he goes alone, there will be no need for high-level officials from the Cloud and Elf departments to go, but gifts are still not spared.

In this case, in addition to the blessing wreath, the main gift is usually a simple gift such as champagne.

After all, neon tax laws stipulate that companies have a limit on how much they can spend on social gifts each year.

Although everyone doesn't care about money, they hate being investigated for trivial matters.

After all, the tax office often uses this reason to investigate tax evasion.

Even if it's okay, it's troublesome to be tossed through again.

However, compared to corporate gifts, Hanyu Hideki does not need to worry too much as a personal gift.

The gift he prepared for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was a set of clubs personally used by the famous Spanish golfer, Seviero Ballezderos.

After all, for a wealthy man who likes golf and is not short of money, this gift is still very meaningful.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

After getting off the car, Hideki Hanyu walked in front.

A slightly dressed assistant followed beside him.

In such public occasions, guests bring an assistant, mainly to remind them of the identity of the person greeting them and to avoid the embarrassment of not recognizing the person.

Marco followed closely behind, holding a wrapped gift.

When Hideki Hanyu arrived, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi came out to greet him personally.

When the subordinate of the other party accepted Marco's gift, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said, "President Hanyu is too polite."

"Seviero Ballesteros' club, I hope Tisan likes it."

"President Hanyu really gave me a surprise. When this player came to participate in the Neon Open this year, I even went to watch the game in person. His condition was really amazing."

"My judgment is the same as that of Tisan. I think he can win the first European Tour Player of the Year award this year."

……

After the two exchanged pleasantries over golf balls, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said he had to greet other guests, so he took his leave and left.

However, before leaving, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi did not forget to say to Hideki Hanyu, "When the celebration is over, I have a private dinner to entertain you, and then I will introduce some friends to President Hanyu."

“That’s really something to look forward to.”

After bidding farewell to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Hideki Hanyu entered the celebration site.

It was only now that Hideki Hanyu understood that this was the anniversary of the establishment of the Prince Hotel brand, the most important brand of the Seibu Group.

But at first glance, you can tell that it is nothing more than making connections in the name of people.

The celebration was held in the form of a buffet reception, and not only business people but also many politicians were present.

This seems normal to Hanyu Hideki.

After all, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's father, Yasujiro Tsutsumi, the founder of Seibu Group, was not only a successful businessman, but also a successful politician.

The other party was one of the elders of the Ziming Party when it was founded.

In the [-]s, he served as Speaker of the Neon House of Representatives.

Therefore, today's Seibu Group has an energy in the political and business circles that even Hideki Hanyu cannot match.

Among other things, since Tsutsumi Yoshiaki started running the Prince Hotel, the Neon Government has arranged countless official banquets at the Prince Hotel every year.

Even after 2000, when Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's power was seriously weakened, the junior prime minister alone entertained guests at the Prince Hotel nearly [-] times during his term.

With an average frequency of once every five days, the Prince Hotel is nicknamed the ‘Second Prime Minister’s Palace’.

The little real estate he bought in the past few years is nothing.

In the [-]s, Neon built a highway and railway from Tokyo to Nagano for the Nagano Winter Olympics.

The land along the line is dotted with ski resorts, golf courses and commercial centers of the Seibu Group.

In short, regardless of the subsequent business mistakes of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, his connections were no longer there, and he was once in jail.

But in today's era, the Seibu Group is a super giant that spans both neon politics and business.

All businesses operate in asset-heavy industries, with hundreds of thousands of employees alone.

At its peak, it was known as the "third consortium" after Mitsubishi and Mitsui in terms of the size of a group.

So this is why Hideki Hanyu considered setting up a trap for the Seibu Group in the park cooperation project, but he still hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

It's natural to cheat, and you won't be at odds with the Seibu Group after it happens, so the operation is naturally not easy.

After Forbes releases the first 'Global Rich List' next year, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will officially sit on the throne of the world's richest man and start his journey to the top.

Neon accounts for seven of the top ten richest people, officially blowing the horn of the peak bubble.

Because all these seven people are on the list based on real estate.

It also opened the door to the point of no return for Neon's "industry harms the country and real estate speculation prospers the country".

But after the peak, the neon national fortune declined, the bubble burst, and these rich people who relied on real estate were all brought back to their original shape.

Living in such an era, Hanyu Hideki, a time traveler, has a sense of detachment and aloofness, watching the changes, ebbs and flows, and the impermanence of the world with a smile.

However, he is not destined to be a spectator now.

Judging from the results that all the rich people in Xiangjiang will be on the list, his name will [-]% appear on the list next year.

Fortunately, his net worth has already been revealed by Forbes once, so it won't be a big deal if he does it again.

Anyway, compared to the tens of billions of dollars worth at the top of the rankings, his ranking will definitely not be too high.

Of course, if he is willing to show the cash on the books of offshore investment companies, he will have no problem reaching the first echelon of the rankings.

But, if he can hide this little money, other wealthy people will only have more wealth that cannot be counted.

Therefore, there is no need for him to foolishly reveal secrets just for the sake of fame.

While thinking about the future development, I was reminded by Ishihara Chie to deal with the guests who came to chat.

After a while, Hanyu Hideki, who was finally free, was about to change places when he suddenly saw three familiar figures appearing on the performance stage deep in the banquet hall.

He immediately asked Chie Ishihara next to him, "Is Genki Girl the guest performer today?"

Chie Ishihara replied in a low voice, "Yes."

After getting the answer, Hanyu Hideki didn't care too much.

After all, as an artist, it is normal for a partner to invite you to perform as a guest.

But now that he saw it, he thought it would be a good idea to say hello.

After all, I haven’t seen the three girls for a while.

The little girl back then is now a tall and graceful girl.

Minamino Yoko, who originally had short hair and was cool, also grew long hair without realizing it.

But just as the performance was over, Hanyu Hideki was walking that way.

However, he saw someone who was faster than him and caught up with the three vitality girls who were walking down the stage.

It was none other than Yoshiaki Tsutsumi who had just received him at the entrance.

It seems that this guy treats the three vitality girls very warmly.

No, to be precise, his attitude towards Minano Yoko was very warm.

Some memories in Hanyu Hideki's mind were immediately activated.

In the list of lovers of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi in his previous life, it seems that Yoko Minamino's name was also included.

　With the weather so cold, are there still so many people traveling? I am so busy that I have no chance to catch fish.

　　Thanks to Wandering Books, Oaks 20210815, for the reward that made me vomit blood.
