Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 428 Catch the big ones and let go the small ones

Ono Cuisine.

Still in the same hot spring box as before.

Hanyu Hideki and Higuchi Tsutomu sat facing each other.

At this moment, it is already after the end of the Autumn Gathering of the Heart Image Chamber of Commerce.

Hideki Hanyu left the resort and was invited by Higuchi Tsutomu.

Let’s come here again for a drink before everyone leaves.

Hanyu Hideki's lower body was soaked in the hot spring pool.

While enjoying the shoulder-rubbing service from the widow Chiharu Ono, the pretty widow, he listened to Higuchi Tsutomu vividly describe to him the reactions of those who came out of the side room before him.

After hearing the end, Hideki Hanyu laughed.

"Haha——, everyone is just talking nonsense about the master of the Northeast region. For the time being, I have only reached a preliminary agreement with Mr. Ikemoto."

He was not being polite when he said this, it was because he really only reached a preliminary intention.

Next, Yada Yoshihiro, who has fully accepted Hanyu Hideki's entrustment, will lead the entrusted accounting firm staff and cooperate with the staff of Mitsui Bank to launch a business investigation into 'Neon Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd.'.

Both the formal terms of the acquisition contract and the final acquisition price will be determined based on this business investigation.

Doing so is a mandatory requirement of Mitsui Bank.

It is also a necessary process for Hanyu Hideki to avoid stepping into pitfalls.

Although Hideki Hanyu has no experience in such large-scale acquisitions, he has many examples in his mind for reference.

There are too many smart people who dug a hole and buried themselves because of muddle-headed acquisitions.

With so many tragic cases of guiding lights ahead of him, Hideki Hanyu had to be careful.

After all, it is necessary to acquire such a giant enterprise.

If you don't act carefully, you have no idea whether you are buying a cash cow or a Big Ivan that is about to explode.

Let’s not talk about it remotely, let’s talk about Toshiba, which cooperates with Hideki Hanyu at The Shining Research Institute.

Later, in response to Neon's nuclear power policy, Toshiba spent US$54 billion to acquire America's Westinghouse Electric under the influence of Mitsubishi and General Motors to raise prices.

But what Toshiba didn't know was that being taken advantage of was just the beginning of its misfortune.

After Westinghouse was acquired, it also followed the example of its own boss in its acquisition operations.

It spent $200 million to acquire ‘Sibier Energy’.

It doesn't look expensive, right? But after the acquisition, Toshiba discovered that Sibi Energy owed US$42 billion in debt.

Even if the Toshiba family has a great business and continues to encounter such big pitfalls, it will be buried half in the soil and eventually embark on the road of no return by making false accounts.

Toshiba can't stand the tossing, and someone with thin arms and legs like Hanyu Hideki can't stand the tossing even more.

If he really buys a bomb and comes back, his death will only be worse.

Therefore, he would rather the acquisition fail than get the preliminary work done.

According to Yada Yoshihiro's estimate, the preliminary business investigation will take at least thirty days.

This is still the case with the active cooperation of Mitsui Bank, the major shareholder, and other shareholders who are anxious to get rid of it.

After all, this acquisition was the initiative of the other party to sell, not Hanyu Hideki's request for purchase, so many things were easier.

Otherwise, for such a large enterprise, without two or three months of preliminary investigation, there would be no way to get to the bottom of it.

However, Higuchi Tsutomu heard Hanyu Hideki's words and said, "But it is true that Hanyu-san defeated those people."

"Don't talk about defeat, it's just that I was a little more prepared."

Hideki Hanyu didn’t even bother to complain.

Those guys were defeated by him. Even if he didn't go, it wouldn't be long before those guys were kicked out by Ikemoto.

After all, he also brought the exact acquisition plan, the loan agreement from Mitsui Bank, and the cooperation of Mitsui Bank staff for capital verification, which proved his sincerity.

What about those people?

Basically, you just go in to catch the autumn wind and try your luck.

Not only did they not make any preparations, they also made various demands.

Even those who are slightly prepared are basically trying to kill you while you are sick, and cut the price directly.

Although Ikemoto and the others were prepared to be bargained for, they never thought of selling at a low price.

Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd. just encountered a little trouble, and those people were not satisfied with the company's profit-making speed. It was not that it was really inoperable.

Therefore, although Hideki Hanyu prepared hastily, the content was not sufficient.

But the problem is that compared with these people who are fighting against the autumn wind, Hanyu Hideki's originally handsome face looks so sincere.

Therefore, Ikemoto quickly passed everyone else, leaving only him to talk to the end.

The two chatted for a while, and Higuchi Tsutomu said with emotion, "It is really a blessing to meet President Hanyu in Hakone this time. Thinking that we will be separated tomorrow, I am really reluctant."

"Higuchi-san and I hit it off immediately, and we should really talk more." Hanyu Hideki agreed.

"If President Hanyu comes to Hokkaido for a visit, please be sure to inform me, otherwise it will be too long to wait until next year's spring gathering to see you again."

Higuchi Tsutomu has no doubt whether Hanyu Hideki will appear at next year's spring reunion.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's "test" was completely overfulfilled by directly intervening in such a big trouble as "Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd."

In this case, Hanyu Hideki's formal membership of the Heart and Soul Chamber of Commerce is already a certainty.

Hanyu Hideki is also very clear about this.

After seeing the power of the Mental Image Chamber of Commerce, he was also happy to join.

Not to mention anything else, just the properties in his hands will give him one more way to get rid of them when the time comes.

Originally, he was still worried, thinking about tricking the rich people in Xiangjiang.

Now that there is the Mental Image Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to rely entirely on those people.

But I heard Higuchi Tsutomu mention the spring gathering.

He asked curiously, "I read the introduction in the invitation letter. The spring gathering of the Chamber of Commerce is in March, but it doesn't specify where it will be. Is it still in Hakone?"

Hearing this, Higuchi Tsutomu explained, “The Chamber of Commerce’s twice-yearly gatherings are not held in one place, nor are they fixed. They usually change every five years.

Next year happens to be the time to change the venue of the party, so it was not included in the introduction of the invitation letter.

As far as I know, next year's spring gathering may be held on Hanyu-san's territory, which is Akita Prefecture. "

"What do you mean my territory? Higuchi-san is joking again."

How could Hideki Hanyu not understand the meaning of Higuchi Tsutomu's words?

The six prefectures in the Tohoku region with neon traditions are Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Miyagi, Yamagata, and Fukushima.

This is also the traditional sphere of influence of Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd.

Among them, Fukushima Prefecture has the smallest market share because it is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Although Tohoku Chemical Co., Ltd. has participated in investing in a nuclear power plant in Miyagi Prefecture.

But the Fukushima nuclear power plant that had an accident in the future was owned by TEPCO, and Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd. only used its power in the power supply network.

Regarding that matter, although Hideki Hanyu knew what would happen, he was not qualified to point fingers at a super giant like TEPCO with a market value of more than ten trillion.

As for making random "prophecies", he would only do it unless he was crazy.

Not wanting to be teased by Higuchi Tsutomu anymore, Hanyu Hideki simply continued to ask, "What about next year's autumn gathering? Will it also need to be changed?"

The moment Hideki Hanyu said this, he did not notice that Chiharu Ono, who was gently massaging his shoulders, looked unnatural for a moment.

The widow also wanted to know Higuchi Tsutomu's answer.

"Of course, the Chamber of Commerce's autumn gathering has been held in Hakone for five years, and it seems that it will be held in Izu next."

As soon as Higuchi Tsutomu said this, Hanyu Hideki just felt that this was another place where he could soak in hot springs.

It seems that the managers of these chambers of commerce chose hot springs for their autumn gatherings.

But behind him, Ono Chiharu, who was rubbing his shoulders, couldn't help but look dim.

The Autumn Gathering was held in a different location, and she didn't mind that she lost a group of regular customers every year.

I only care about whether the person in front of me will never come again.

However, Hanyu Hideki and Higuchi Tsutomu did not notice the pretty widow's emotional change and continued to drink and chat.

Just like that, when night fell outside the room, the time came to around nine o'clock.

Higuchi Tsutomu, who was older and couldn't handle alcohol, got a little drunk.

When Hideki Hanyu saw that the other party started to speak garbled words and looked tired, he wanted the other party to go back and rest first.

But Higuchi Tsutomu, who was in high spirits after drinking, naturally didn't want to go back so early.

Hanyu Hideki tried to persuade him for a while, but finally promised him that he would visit Hokkaido after the year, and finally put him in the car.

After Higuchi Tsutomu left, Hanyu Hideki did not return to the courtyard immediately, but returned to the box.

After drinking a lot of wine and feeling a little hungry, he asked Chiharu Ono, "Miss Chiharu, help me prepare something to eat."

Seeing Chiharu Ono about to leave the box, Hideki Hanyu did not forget to remind him, "No sushi or sashimi, prepare some hot food for me."

Ono Chiharu asked, "Can the sukiyaki pot be used?"

Hanyu Hideki emphasized, "Yes, put more beef and less vegetables. I have a larger appetite."

"Okay." Ono Chiharu responded and went to tell the chef to prepare.

In the private room, Hanyu Hideki sat in the warm hot spring again.

At this time, there was no Higuchi Tsutomu, and he didn't need to pay attention to his image, so he simply assumed a comfortable lying posture.

Although the two days were not long, due to the incident at Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd., both his physical and mental energy were exhausted like never before.

Although the dust has not settled yet, the matter can be considered to have come to an end.

His body and mind could finally relax a bit.

Close your eyes and let everything go.

After a moment, he suddenly felt warm fingers touching his temples and began to massage them gently.

Smelling the familiar female scent, I knew it was Ono Chiharu without having to guess.

A gentle voice sounded, "Mr. Hanyu must have had a hard time these past two days."

"Why do you think so?" Hanyu Hideki asked without opening his eyes.

Ono Chiharu replied, "The more guests you see, the more you can tell when the guests are relaxed."

"Does Miss Chiharu often relax guests like this?"

Hideki Hanyu just asked casually, but he didn't expect Chiharu Ono to answer in an inexplicably urgent and solemn tone.

"No, it's not true. Since I started working, I... I have only relaxed like this for Mr. Hanyu."

"Then I'm really honored."

Hanyu Hideki tasted something else in the woman's tone.

So after he finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at the widow who was massaging his temples.

Looking at the other person's slightly evasive eyes after being stared at by him, he felt the warm and gentle fingers.

Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly, raised his hand and grabbed the woman's hand that was massaging him.

Then, with the woman's slightly panicked expression, he asked softly, "Miss Chiharu, how can I thank you for your love?"

"President Hanyu, there is no need to thank you. This is what I should do."

Ono Chiharu said that she wanted to take her hand out, but she tried her best and found that she couldn't break free at all.

She is a little girl, but her power is far different from that of Hideki Hanyu.

"Haha, that's not what Ms. Chiharu said just now. She said she only relaxed like this for me."

Hanyu Hideki felt the weak strength coming from the woman's white little hand. Instead of letting go, he pulled her hand in front of him.

Then he slowly tilted his head forward, staring at Chiharu Ono, and kissed her hand.

The next moment, Hanyu Hideki let go of his hand.

When Ono Chiharu quickly retracted her hand, her whole pretty face turned red.

"Mr. Hanyu, I...I'm going to see if the sukiyaki pot is ready."

After Ono Chiharu finished speaking, she left the box as if running away.

"Ha ha……"

In the box, the scumbag laughed frivolously.

This feeling of teasing a good young woman made him feel extremely novel and enjoyed it.

It's completely different from the feeling of pursuing a girl in the past.

After a while, Chiharu Ono, whose blush faded, returned, carrying the sukiyaki pot with the ingredients already cooked.

After the other party placed the sukiyaki pot in front of Hanyu Hideki, he said politely, "Mr. Hanyu, please have a meal."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "As a restaurant heroine, is this how Miss Chiharu serves customers?"

"Ah?" Ono Chiharu didn't know what she did wrong.

Hanyu Hideki opened his arms and placed them on the edge of the soup pool. He put on an arrogant expression and said, "Of course you will feed me."

Upon hearing this, Ono Chiharu said a little embarrassedly, "Our store does not provide this kind of service."

Hanyu Hideki stared at Ono Chiharu with an aggressive look and said in a serious tone, "If other guests can't do it, can I do it too?"

"me……"

Chiharu Ono wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

But she showed the answer with practical actions.

She carefully picked out the beef with chopsticks, dipped it in egg liquid and brought it to Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki was not polite and directly enjoyed the service of opening his mouth after eating.

After finishing a pot of beef in a few seconds, he made a deliberate comment. “Although the beef was just average, I don’t know why it tasted unexpectedly better when Miss Chiharu fed it to me.”

After hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Chiharu Ono, who was clearing away the dishes, said sheepishly, "Mr. Hanyu, please don't say that. The sukiyaki pot has let you down. I'm very sorry."

"Then how are Miss Chiharu going to compensate me?" Hanyu Hideki asked deliberately.

Chiharu Ono tried to say, "How about I give Mr. Hanyu a free meal?"

"Miss Chiharu, do you think I can't pay?"

"of course not."

Hanyu Hideki's attitude of pretending to question made Ono Chiharu wave her hands nervously.

"Ha ha……"

Hideki Hanyu smiled again.

Watching an experienced female player become like a rookie, he really enjoyed the strange sense of satisfaction.

However, after appreciating the nervousness of the pretty widow, he immediately gave the other party a choice, "Miss Qianharu, I really like your help me relax, please continue to massage me."

"Ok."

Ono Chiharu agreed and walked behind Hanyu Hideki.

But just when Ono Chiharu walked up behind Hanyu Hideki and was about to reach out for a massage.

wow-

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, Hanyu Hideki suddenly stood up.

He said it at the same time.

"Forget it, it's getting late, I should go."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki left the soup pool and walked towards the dressing room in the private room.

Ono Chiharu's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still followed closely and walked over to help Hanyu Hideki wipe his body.

In the past, this kind of service was performed by ordinary waitresses in the store.

In the dressing room, Hideki Hanyu opened his arms and let Chiharu Ono help him wipe off the water drops on his body.

Looking at the other person's eyes shyly, he took off the bath towel covering his lower body and wiped everything clean.

Then with the help of the other party, he changed the clothes he had worn when he came.

After his clothes were numbered, Hanyu Hideki took out his wallet, casually pulled out a thick stack of 10,000-yuan bills, and put them on the small table in the dressing room without counting them.

"Thank you, Miss Chiharu, for your hospitality. I had a great time here today."

After saying that, Hideki Hanyu stepped outside.

Ono Chiharu didn't care at all how much money Hanyu Hideki put down, and hurriedly followed him until Hanyu Hideki was sent outside the store.

Seeing Marco driving the sightseeing bus over, Hanyu Hideki got on it and was about to leave.

Ono Chiharu did not say the polite words that she used to deal with ordinary guests.

Instead, he asked with an urgent tone and hopeful eyes, "Is Mr. Hanyu leaving Hakone too? Will he come to the store again in the future?"

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki felt that the heat seemed to be almost there.

But being distant is not enough.

So he showed a charming smile and asked, "I wonder if Miss Qianharu still wants to see me?"

"I... of course I hope." Ono Chiharu hesitated for a moment, but still said what he was thinking.

"Since Miss Chiharu wants to see me, I will definitely show up."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, without waiting for Ono Chiharu to say anything, he patted the seat in front and motioned for Marco to drive away.

The sightseeing bus drove away slowly.

At the door of Ono Restaurant, under the moonlight and in the evening breeze.

The young, beautiful, gentle and mature widow stood there for a long time.

……

Hakone courtyard.

The little goblin clung to Hanyu Hideki who had just returned, "Teacher, is the activity you participated in over?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "It's over."

The little goblin asked, "Then we have to go back to Tokyo right away?"

"You decide. If you want to play, you don't have to leave." Hanyu Hideki said.

The matter regarding 'Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd.' has come to an end, and he does not need to worry about it until the preparations are completed.

There is nothing in Tokyo that requires his intervention.

As for the trip to America, it’s only September 1st, so there’s no need to rush.

Therefore, it is not a problem to take a few days’ rest in Hakone temporarily.

"That's great. I won't have a job until the Ginza Music Festival on September 4th. That means I can still spend two days in Hakone. Tomorrow we can take the cable car to see the Great Hell, and the day after tomorrow we can go to Lake Ashi and take a boat ride to see Mount Fuji, okay? ?”

The little elf excitedly made arrangements.

"No problem." Hanyu Hideki readily agreed.

He came to Hakone twice and didn't go anywhere except soaking in the hot springs. This time he happened to be with the goblins.

"Teacher is so good...咒~~"

The little fairy was so excited that she immediately gave him a sweet kiss.

However, when the other party kissed him and wanted to let go, Hideki Hanyu hugged him back.

"I'm so good, do you want to thank me properly?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

The little goblin said coquettishly, "Teacher, how do you want me to thank you?"

"Haha, of course I am so grateful."

Amidst the little goblin's cooing calls, Hideki Hanyu picked him up by the waist and headed straight to the bedroom.

After playing hard-to-get with the pretty widow just now, Hanyu Hideki himself was actually holding back a lot of anger and needed to let it out.

……

The next two days.

Hanyu Hideki put down his business and patiently accompanied the little fairy to play in Hakone.

Watch the remains of the volcano that is still spewing heat, or take a boat ride on Lake Ashi and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, as well as Mount Fuji in the distance.

On the evening of September 3rd, although the little fairy was still not satisfied, he couldn't bear to leave the comfortable life in Hakone, let alone Hideki Hanyu.

But because of the following work, she had to return to Tokyo.

Hanyu Hideki arranged a car to take the other party back, but he did not leave.

He was fine for a short time and planned to stay in Hakone to rest.

And just after sending the little goblin away, he received a call from Yada Ryohiro.

The other party reported to him on the phone that he had led some personnel to the headquarters of Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd. in Sendai City.

Next, Yada Yoshihiro will sit with representatives of Mitsui Bank at the Tohoku Kasei headquarters to conduct the most important investigation.

Colleagues will also arrange for other staff to go to branches in other places to conduct investigations.

In short, we talked about a lot of plans and arrangements.

After listening to Yada Yoshihiro's report, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly gave instructions for fear that the other party would be too serious.

"Yada-san must remember that we are only doing a preliminary investigation, not a financial audit. As long as there are no big problems, we can ignore some small problems for the time being. Do you understand?"

It is simply impossible for a company as big as Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd. to say that there are no problems at all.

It would be a long night and many dreams. The most important thing for him now is acquisition.

Therefore, what we need to do is to grasp the big and let go of the small.

It doesn't matter if some minor problems are dealt with or not.

Even if he wanted to deal with it, he would have to wait until he became the owner of Tohoku Kasei Co., Ltd.

If we investigate certain matters with great fanfare now and trigger a backlash from some people, the acquisition may be affected.

"I understand, Hanyu-sensei."

Although Yada Yoshihiro is honest, he is not an idiot, and he naturally understands the meaning of Hanyu Hideki's words.

"Then I'll leave everything to Yata-san. If there's anything you need me to handle, please contact me as soon as possible."

After explaining to Yada Ryohi, Hanyu Hideki hung up the phone.

He looked at the house that seemed a little quiet and empty after the goblin left.

It seemed to me that there was a pretty widow who had been flirting with her for two days.

Lift your watch, 7:30 p.m.

The time is just right.

Hideki Hanyu changed his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and drove the sightseeing car towards Ono Cuisine.

There was no appointment, he just planned to give the other party a surprise.

……

Ono Cuisine.

Ono Chiharu politely sent away a group of guests.

After the guests left, the polite smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a hint of exhaustion and loss.

The restaurant is a reservation system. Although it is early, it is already certain that there will be no customers next.

So after packing up the box, she arranged for others to get off work early.

After all the store employees left, Ono Chiharu began to do the final finishing work, checking the store's water and electricity.

Being alone at this time, she unconsciously began to think of other things.

For example, the man who promised he would show up but hasn't seen him for two days.

Obviously we only met twice.

But the figure of that person has been firmly imprinted in her mind.

The other person's appearance, the other person's body, the other person's...

She was deeply attracted by the charm of the other party.

Thinking back to the gentle kiss on her hand.

Ono Chiharu unconsciously raised her hand and looked at the place where the man kissed her.

Even now, she seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the man's lips.

He slowly raised his hand, and gently touched her cheek, neck, and even lips with the place where he had been kissed.

Ono Chiharu had the illusion that when she did this, it was as if the man was kissing the place she touched.

In the past two days, she had had the same dream.

It is more excessive and bold than the illusion at this time.

To be precise, it should be called an erotic dream.

Thinking back to this, Chiharu Ono's cheeks blushed unconsciously.

But soon, she shook her head vigorously.

Although the man's promise gave her a glimmer of hope, she also understood that it was just hope.

Just like what Higuchi Tsutomu said.

The identity of the other party and everything about the other party were beyond what she, an ordinary widow, could expect.

They are not from the same world at all.

It has been two days, and the other party must have left the small place of Hakone long ago.

I don’t know where the other party went?

From the conversation between the other party and Higuchi Tsutomu, it seemed like they were going to America.

It was a place she had heard of but had never been to.

She also wanted to take a look.

For the first time in her life, Chiharu Ono had the urge to go somewhere because of a man.

It's as if you can meet that person if you go there.

hehe--

Chiharu Ono suddenly laughed to himself.

She was overestimating her abilities again.

Just keep working and live an ordinary life like this.

Chiharu Ono thought, reaching out and closing the wooden door of the shop.

But just as the store door was about to close.

Suddenly, a big hand blocked the door.

Then, a familiar voice sounded.

"Are you closing so early?"

　Thank you to Broken Feather Cat for the 11600 starting coin reward. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your support.

　　Today is Friday and I'm quite busy at work. There are only seven thousand, sorry,
