Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 452: I can give it to them, but I can also take it back.

The Asia Music Association's headquarters is located in Tokyo.

An awards optimization meeting on the 'Asian Music Awards' is being held.

It was just held yesterday, and the conference will be held today to optimize the awards.

And it was with a lot of praise.

I have to say that the Asian Music Association is remarkable both in terms of efficiency and attitude.

But the only problem is that today's meeting was not chaired by the president, but initiated by a special director of the board of directors named 'Takayuki Mukayama'.

If you ask ordinary people if they know Mukayama Takayuki, basically no one will know who he is.

In fact, let alone ordinary people, even if you ask practitioners in the music industry, it is estimated that many people do not know his identity.

But if you chat with businessmen who are engaged in the distribution of audio and video products, they will tell you that this is an incredible person.

Takayuki Mukayama is also a composer by profession. In the 1960s and 1970s, he also wrote some works that were not popular, but they were not loss-making.

However, in addition to being a musician, he is also engaged in the audio and video distribution business in Neon, and is also involved in overseas business.

These distribution businesses were absorbed by Yunshang Music more than two years ago due to poor management.

Today, although Mukayama Takayuki still holds the title of musician, his main job is to accept the management of Matsushita Katsuhito, and is responsible for the distribution of audio and video products of Yunshang Music in Neon and overseas.

In addition to Yunshang Entertainment's own singers, Yunshang Music now also uses its own promotion and sales channels, like Sony Records, to contract and produce, or to distribute records of singers from other companies.

The reason why Xiangshan Takayuki joined the 'Asian Music Association' and served as one of the five executive directors of the board of directors was simply because Yunshang Entertainment hoped that this organization, which it had single-handedly promoted, would not be out of its control for the time being.

After the Asian Music Awards, the busy Mukayama Takayuki originally planned to go to the Tohoku region.

After Hanyu Hideki acquired Tohoku Chemical Co., Ltd. and changed its name to Tohoku Energy, he discovered that Tohoku Energy also owned a store called Tohoku Retail.

It mainly relies on its own businesses, such as gas stations.

Northeast Retail also has audio and video sales business.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu hopes that the distribution department of Yunshang Music can cooperate with Northeast Retail, integrate resources, and also incorporate it into Yunshang Music's sales network in Neon.

But before Mukayama Takayuki set out, he received a call from his immediate boss Matsushita Katsuhito, telling him not to leave for the time being. The big boss had other matters that he needed to deal with.

Then, he was arranged to come to the Asian Music Association headquarters for a meeting.

Fortunately, the Asian Music Awards had just been held yesterday, and most people had not left Neon yet. Otherwise, if a meeting were held suddenly, the board of directors might not be able to gather together.

“…The original Best Pop Band/Group was split into Best Pop Group and Best Band, Children’s Album of the Year and Children’s Music of the Year were added, and the nine awards for classical music were streamlined into five awards…

The above are the results of our award optimization for the Asian Music Awards this time. If you have no comments, I will make it public and officially implement it at the next awards ceremony. "

After finishing speaking, Takayuki Mukayama looked at all the participants in the conference room.

These are all things that everyone has confirmed, so naturally no one jumped out to object at this time.

When Takayuki Mukayama saw this, he was about to make the final confirmation.

Suddenly, there was a bang!

The door to the conference room was pushed open hard, and everyone saw Junichi Mizukura walking in with a gloomy expression.

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became exciting.

Turn a blind eye.

There are contemptuous eyes.

There is sympathy in the eyes.

He also had a playful look on his face, waiting to see the excitement.

Those who can sit here are all veterans in the circle.

From the successful hosting of the 'Asian Music Awards' yesterday, to today we skipped the president and held a formal meeting of the board of directors.

What is the reason? Everyone doesn't know.

But he knew which party he was invited to the meeting.

They were brought to a meeting by the Yunshang Department.

But Junichi Mizukura, the "hero" who founded the Asian Music Association and successfully held the Asian Music Awards with the support of the Yunshang system, did not appear at the meeting.

The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. These are the first things that everyone thinks of.

But when I think about it again, this is not the style of the Yunshang Department.

After all, it's just a music award, so it's not like that.

So why was Shunichi Tokura suddenly excluded? Everyone was extremely interested at this time.

Under the attention of everyone, Shunichi Mizukura walked next to Takayuki Mukayama, who was sitting in the first place.

He looked at Takayuki Mukayama with cold eyes and said, "Director Mukayama, you seem to be sitting in my seat."

Mukayama Takayuki's expression did not change at all, he patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Today is a formal meeting of the board of directors. As the initiator of the meeting, is there anything wrong with me sitting here?"

Junichi Mizukura continued to ask, "I am the president of the association and one of the executive directors of the board of directors. Why do I not know about the official meeting of the board of directors, and I was not notified."

"According to the regulations of the association, to convene a formal meeting of the board of directors, only three of the five executive directors need to agree. After I got the consent of the two directors, I no longer bothered Chairman Miyazura.

As for the notification, the staff of the association called President Mizukura, but unfortunately no one answered, so we followed the regulations and used a letter to notify. Maybe the letter has not been delivered yet. "

Takayuki Mukayama smiled slightly as he spoke, "As the president, Mizukura-san, it's okay if you are not familiar with the rules of the association. You need to learn more in the future."

As soon as Jun Mizukura heard these words, he was so angry that his blood surged up on the spot. He gritted his teeth and wanted to have an attack. But seeing so many people in the conference room, he finally endured it.

He glanced at the conference room and asked Xiangshan Guizhi.

"Then may I know what the topic of today's meeting is?"

Takayuki Mukayama said with a formulaic smile, "Of course Chairman Mizukura knows that it is about optimizing awards for Asian music people."

As soon as Mizukura Jun heard the topic, his expression turned ugly.

Thinking of what happened after the award ceremony yesterday, he already roughly understood the reason why these things happened today.

But even now, he was still unwilling to give in and asked again.

"What's the specific content?"

“Just before President Tsukura arrived, our meeting had ended, and the board of directors had approved the award optimization plan for the Asian Music Awards.

Therefore, there is no need for President Miyazura to know the specific optimization content now. I will ask my assistant to send you a copy of the meeting minutes later.

If President Miyazura has any objections to the optimization plan, he can also raise objections during the public notice period, and the Board of Directors will adopt them as appropriate. "

Mukayama Takashi looked businesslike.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said to everyone in the conference room, "This is the end of today's meeting. Let's adjourn."

After finishing speaking, he straightened the documents and prepared to leave.

But it was his businesslike demeanor that made Junichi Mizukura next to him most angry.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Junichi Mizukura could no longer suppress his anger and slapped his hand on the table.

He angrily shouted, "How dare you ignore me!"

Seeing Mizukura Jun's outburst, everyone who was exiting the conference room involuntarily slowed down and began to watch the excitement.

As for Mukayama Takayuki, he deliberately showed surprise on his face and said, "President Mizukura, what does this mean? We are acting in full compliance with the regulations of the association."

"You know what I mean!" Junichi Mizura said in a deep voice.

Mizukura Shunichi is tall, a head taller than Mukayama Takayuki.

At this time, he lowered his head and looked down at Makiyama Takayuki, who looked quite impressive.

But there was no fear on Xiangshan Guizhi's face.

Pretending to be innocent, he spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I don't understand!"

Shunichi Mizukura immediately lost his mind, grabbed Mukayama Takayuki by the collar, and roared angrily, "Asshole, you'd better see who you're talking to!"

It was only then that the false and polite smile on Takashi Mukayama's face stopped.

But he still didn't show any anger.

Mukayama Takayuki's face turned cold, and then he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Of course I know who I'm talking to, Shunichi Mizukura!"

As Mukayama Takayuki said, he took the collar out of Shunichi Mizukura's hand with his hand, and then sneered.

"Haha, what? Is it great to have a diplomat parent?"

After watching Takayuki Makayama say these two sentences, he turned around and left without looking back.

Although his expression was still angry, Junichi Mizukura said nothing and allowed Takayuki Mukayama to leave.

His background might scare ordinary people.

But for some people, it doesn't have any effect.

I don't know how long it took, but when Mizukura Junichi recovered from his anger, his first reaction was to contact someone.

In his heart, he didn't want to give in.

But for the sake of a bright future, he had to accept it.

……

"Sorry, President Hanyu has important work at Elf Entertainment today and does not have time to meet with President Mizukura."

"How about I go to Elf Entertainment to meet President Hanyu in person?"

"I can't make a decision on this. I can't contact President Hanyu at the moment."

"excuse me."

Elf Entertainment, Magic Studio, Chie Ishihara hangs up the mobile phone in her hand.

He turned to look at Hanyu Hideki, who was sitting next to him in front of the TV, concentrating on playing games.

The other party is holding a game controller and operating a blue game character on the TV screen, like an anthropomorphic hedgehog.

Accompanied by background music and jingle bell sound effects, the game characters shuttle across the screen at high speed, eating golden rings along the way.

Chie Ishihara has also played the game products of Genie Entertainment.

But this was the first time she had seen such a fast game.

For a girl who is not good at games, the speed of the blue hedgehog on the screen is already so fast that it dazzles her.

However, Hanyu Hideki relied on his extraordinary reflexes to operate very easily and quickly passed a game level.

Seeing this, Chie Ishihara wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to step forward and report the phone call just now.

Who would have thought that Hanyu Hideki said without looking back, "It goes without saying, I heard it all. I won't see him for the time being. If he comes to Elf Entertainment today, let the front desk tell him that I have left."

"Okay, Hanyu-sensei."

Ishihara Chie responded, turned around and followed Hanyu Hideki's instructions.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he didn't take Mizukura Junichi's matter to heart at all and continued to play the newly released "Sonic".

Yuji Naka truly deserves to be a great programmer.

The other party got inspiration from "Demon World Village" in his previous life and created "Sonic".

In this time and space, the other party did equally well.

This is a game that is slightly different from its predecessor in subtle ways, but the overall quality is completely superior.

It can be said that "Sonic" has fully demonstrated the performance of the upgraded PS console.

Excellent color performance and ultimate speed experience, in this era, it is simply an epoch-making game.

It's no wonder that Sega in its previous life was able to carve a way out of Nintendo's dominance with "Sonic".

All I can say is that this game is beyond imagination.

It’s no wonder that Genie Entertainment’s executives are worried that after the release of “Sonic”, it will take away the market advantage of the original ace game “Super Mario Bros.”

This kind of trouble of beating yourself up.

It’s also a happy worry.

After playing for more than an hour, Hanyu Hideki put down the game controller with some unfinished content.

The emergence of "Sonic" finally allowed him to find a little bit of the feeling of later games.

"Sonic" feels different.

If I have to describe it, it feels like a game generation gap.

Super Mario Bros. feels like a last-generation game.

And "Sonic" is a new generation.

Just like the Age of Discovery, ironclad ships replaced wooden sailing ships.

It is also like the era of steel battleships, when the "Dreadnought" class was born and the "pre-Dreadnought" class fell behind collectively.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki is not just referring to gameplay.

In terms of gameplay, Super Mario Bros. is still fun.

He is referring to the comprehensive evaluation.

After sighing for a while, Hideki Hanyu stood up after finishing the trial.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw many people standing behind him.

Except for his assistant Ishihara Chie who came with him.

and Satoru Iwata, the president of Elf Entertainment.

Toshihiko Nakago, the director of Miracle Studio.

One of the producers of "Sonic", Yuji Naka.

"Why are Iwata-san here too?" Hanyu Hideki asked while wiping his hands with the wipes given by Chie Ishihara.

"I heard that President Hanyu was trying out the game, so I came here to take a look."

"Iwata-san has experienced it earlier than me. What do you think of this game? You might as well tell me."

"It's very good, so good that many people think it can be delayed."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Why?"

Iwata explained, "Everyone feels that our current game sales are very good. If this game is launched, it will have an impact on our original game sales."

"madness!"

Hanyu Hideki said unceremoniously.

“Whoever says this again, get out!

Do they think we are the only game company in the world? Are our current advantages already foolproof?

Sega, Nintendo, and the game companies in America are all working day and night to develop new consoles and develop excellent games, but are we so arrogant that we want to hide excellent games?

If older games suffer because of Sonic, that's proof they're no longer good.

If we can delay the release of our own games, can we also ask our competitors’ games to be delayed?

Rather than waiting for the market to be impacted by our competitors, it would be better for us to impact it ourselves.

So what we have to do is not to escape, but to make the old games better. "

"There will be no changes to the Sonic release plan," Iwata replied firmly.

"Iwata-san, just do it boldly and don't think too much about the voices. Some people are destined to be eliminated by this era."

Hideki Hanyu said to Satoru Iwata earnestly.

Satoru Iwata nodded heavily, "I understand."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he looked at Nakago Toshihiko and Naka Yuji, "Do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, I plan to go to other studios to check it out."

"Nothing."

The two shook their heads and answered.

Originally, Hideki Hanyu came here just to try out "Sonic".

Now that the trial is over and the problem has been discussed just now, they have nothing to say.

"Then I'll leave first. Iwata-san is with me."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Iwata Satoru and began to inspect other game studios.

I haven't cared about game development for a while. The projects he arranged before have been completed by everyone, and now they are all working on their own projects.

For example, Sacred Studio still focuses on arcade fighting games.

In the subordinate third development team, Yoshiki Okamoto focuses on combat games, while Tokuro Fujiwara is developing an action game.

In addition to game development, they also need to carry out game porting to different platforms and the development of game versions in different countries.

Work is still quite busy.

At the Sacred Studio, Hideki Hanyu thought of his previous idea of ​​cooperating with Cheng Long, and asked Satoru Iwata to contact him.

It is entirely possible to develop a derivative co-branded game of the "Kung Fu" series.

You can even put Cheng Long's image into Elf Entertainment's "Fighting World Universe".

From "Kung Fu" to "Kung Fu: Deathstroke", from "Street Fighter" to "Tornado Kombat".

After several games and generations, and with the help of comics and animations, the "Fighting World Universe" originally proposed by him has now begun to take shape.

With the interconnection of comics, games, and animations, whether it is games or peripheral products, or even animation ratings and theater box office, the effect of 1+1 is greater than 1.

But now all this is on the right track.

Whether it's stories or games, there are dedicated people in charge, so Hideki Hanyu doesn't have to worry at all.

Last year, Cloud Cinema also considered making a live-action movie.

However, due to technical limitations, it was unilaterally rejected by Elf Entertainment.

After bidding farewell to Nishiyama Takashi, Hanyu Hideki continued to Shinhwa Studio.

Among the three studios, Shinhwa Studio has the largest number of people and is also the busiest.

The first is the RPG game. "Dragon Quest 2" is being developed intensively under the leadership of Yuji Horii.

In addition to developing "Dragon Quest," Shinhwa Studio will also help Masashi Miyamoto's Square Enix develop the first generation of "Final Fantasy."

Because Shinhwa Studio has rich experience in RPG game development, they have to help not only Square, but also the America Division.

The ambitious work "Red Dead Redemption: Bounty Hunter" that combines RPG and light gun is being developed there. Many of the core developers were sent by Shinhwa Studio.

There is also the "Contra" series of games, and the second generation is also under development. In addition to different versions for the three major platforms, game versions for different countries also need to be developed.

Its fourth development team, headed by Yukiji Tatsumori, focuses on arcade games.

The previously developed "Legend of Journey to the West", due to the release of "Quick Fighting Tornado", is now developing a second generation game based on "Quick Fighting Whirlwind".

The fourth development team also leads the development of the Mario game series.

Elf Entertainment's earliest scroll game "Knock on the Ice" has also been included in the 'Mario Game Universe' and is also developing next-generation games.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki casually told Yukiji Tatsumori about the game idea of ​​"Yeti Brothers", saying that he could consider adding "Yeti Brothers" to the "Mario Game Universe".

But when Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he immediately received a look full of resentment from Yukiji Ryuumori, as well as a helpless complaint.

"President, I really don't have any free manpower. The Snowman Brothers idea you mentioned, I won't be able to start at least within this year."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Hanyu Hideki did not force it.

After all, he sees that everyone is busy.

Horii Yuuji was too busy to greet him.

Of course, it’s not just Shinhwa Studio that’s busy.

Elf Entertainment's three major studios, plus several development teams, as well as the arcade game department, are all busy today.

Who asked him to lay a solid foundation for Elf Entertainment, holding a lot of game IPs in his hands.

Let alone developing new games now, sequels to a lot of old games cannot be developed.

Players are pushing every day, and their enthusiasm is not low.

As long as Elf Entertainment can develop it, they are willing to pay the bill.

The problem is, even if the game development cycle in this era is shorter than in the future, it still takes time.

In addition, Elf Entertainment’s game review is extremely strict.

Even if the developers are busy working overtime every day, they can't keep up with the speed at which players can clear the game.

Elf Entertainment’s recruitment and talent training have never stopped.

But the problem is that talent development also takes time.

Therefore, despite the fact that Elf Entertainment launches a lot of games every year, and all of them are high-quality games, its "reputation" among players is still declining day by day.

The Poké Ball, which is the corporate logo, was even changed into a turtle by players adding head, tail and limbs. Used to mock the "turtle speed" of Elf Entertainment.

Of course, whether it is the decline in reputation or the slow speed and irony, from another perspective, it is recognition of Elf Entertainment.

After leaving Shinhwa Studio, Hideki Hanyu lamented, "There are still too few manpower."

Don’t look at how many people there are now.

But as a time traveler, he knows that as time enters the 1990s, the development cycle of games will become longer and longer, and the demand for developers will also increase.

Elf Entertainment owns so many game IPs.

Talent cultivation is urgent.

"We have been working very hard to recruit people, but the competition in the job market is too fierce now."

Satoru Iwata looked helpless.

Nowadays, the neon economy is booming, and companies are competing for talents.

When college students just come for interviews, the human resources department will cover travel expenses starting at RMB 100,000 and give them vouchers and the like.

As the leader in the neon game industry, Elf Entertainment's situation is actually much better. At least it can retain talents by providing benefits. After all, there are not many clubs to choose from.

In industries such as finance and real estate, in order to retain graduates, in addition to travel expenses and gifts, overseas trips will even be arranged.

The competition is insane.

"Just do your best."

Hideki Hanyu naturally understands the current situation and understands Satoru Iwata's helplessness.

In the craziest era of the neon economy, nothing is surprising.

I tried out "Sonic" and watched the three major studios.

Hanyu Hideki's purpose of coming to Elf Entertainment today has been completed.

There was no use staying here anymore, so he said goodbye to Iwata Satoru and left.

Take the assistant to the underground parking lot.

Reported by Chie Ishihara.

"Teacher Hanyu, President Mizukura just came to Elf Entertainment to find you. Although the front desk told him that you were not here, he obviously didn't believe it.

We will leave now, will he still be waiting outside? "

"No." Hanyu Hideki said firmly.

Seeing that Chie Ishihara looked confused and a little confused, Hideki Hanyu explained after getting into the Mercedes-Benz.

"I don't want to see him, just to save him the last bit of face. If he blocks me, he doesn't even want the last bit of face."

Although Shunichi Mizukura is "floating", he is not an idiot.

If you really want to find him, you will only meet him through "regular channels".

If he can't see it, it proves that he doesn't want to see it.

Forcibly meeting will only make yourself more embarrassed.

Ishihara Chihui was thoughtful after hearing the words.

Hideki Hanyu stopped explaining and looked at his watch. "I have no other schedule today. You can get off work early. I'll take you home first."

"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu." Chie Ishihara did not refuse.

After being together for so long, she already knew Hanyu Hideki's personality.

The politeness when treating one's own people is basically not fake politeness.

At this time, just don't refuse.

……

After the Elf Entertainment schedule is over, Hideki Hanyu is still busy.

On the 20th, Hideki Hanyu went to Shogakukan to meet Masahiro Aiga.

After not seeing him for a while, Hanyu Hideki’s strength and status have risen again.

Masahiro Aiga's attitude towards Hideki Hanyu can only be described as different from the past.

After all, at this time, even if Hanyu Hideki jumped out of the contract with Shogakukan, Shogakukan could only silently tear up the contract and pretend that nothing happened.

After all, Hanyu Hideki no longer has any demand for Shogakukan.

On the contrary, Shogakukan needs Hanyu Hideki's golden signature.

And with the help of cooperation, we can maintain the relationship with the Yunshang system and the Elf system.

Hanyu Hideki is still willing to cooperate with Shogakukan and hand over his works to Shogakukan for distribution, which is also a manifestation of his willingness to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

"Long time no see. President Hanyu's demeanor is even better than before."

"Executive Congratulations, you're very polite. Not only have you just grown a year older, you are already almost thirty years old."

Hanyu Hideki's words made Aiga Masahiro not sure how to answer them.

I thought to myself, if someone like you is considered to be almost thirty, then he is almost sixty years old.

"President Hanyu, try it. This is the new tea I bought."

"Really? Then I want to have a good taste."

After the two sat down, they chatted politely for a while.

Aiga Masahiro then asked tentatively, "I heard that President Hanyu has two works this year that he wants to cooperate with Shogakukan."

From the word cooperation, we can see Shogakukan's attitude towards Hanyu Hideki now.

Hideki Hanyu replied, "Indeed, it is a picture book and a novel."

The picture book of course is "Home Alone", which has already been created at this time.

The novel is "My Sassy Girl" which was re-thrown to Etsuko Kitagawa for polishing and transformation after some discussions with Hitomi Kuroki.

As he spoke, he placed the picture book manuscript of "Home Alone" in front of Aiga Masahiro.

Although Masahiro Aiga manages the General Affairs Department, he still has some appreciation since he is in a publishing house.

So after picking up the picture book of "Home Alone" and reading it, I immediately frowned.

The story is humorous and full of childlike interest.

But here’s the problem, the story is too interesting.

It weakens the unique artistry of Hanyu Hideki's picture books.

Seeing Aiga Masahiro's expression, Hanyu Hideki naturally understood what the other person was thinking.

Even though he has stylized the story of "Home Alone", it is still difficult to change the core of the story.

But it doesn’t matter, this is a special edition picture book.

It's for readers in America who like fun.

He did not hide anything and explained directly, "I created this picture book specifically for the America market. I am only considering publishing it in the America market for the time being."

"It turns out that Chairman Hanyu wants to open up America's market."

Xianghe Changhong suddenly realized.

After all, as a senior executive of Shogakukan, he knew very well that Hanyu Hideki's picture books were selling well all over the world, but they had always been relatively average in America.

Hanyu Hideki did not continue to explain, but added, "In terms of a novel, it can be regarded as a love story."

Although Hitomi Kuroki hoped that Hideki Hanyu would change the ending of the script into a tragedy, Mr. Hanyu ultimately did not agree.

After all, the tragic ending is inconsistent with the tone of the overall story.

Finally, he thought about it and gave an open ending with no answer. Whether the hero and heroine can finally come together is left to the readers to understand.

However, after some revisions, "Savage Girl" was completely changed and turned into a story that vaguely revolves around women's rights, which is much deeper than the original work.

As for future movies.

That doesn't matter at all. The movies are all adaptations anyway, so it doesn't matter how you change them.

Maybe in Neon's homeland, the audience still likes the novel style after being changed beyond recognition.

Xianghe Changhong didn't know this.

As soon as he heard that Hanyu Hideki had written another love novel, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's "Love Letter" can be said to have created a miracle in Shogakukan's book sales.

It has been more than two years since its release, and it still returns to the sales list from time to time every year to make its presence felt.

In Neon, it can be said to be a must-read for adult women, and almost everyone has a copy.

It was this book that truly elevated Hideki Hanyu to the top of the neon female "ideal type" list.

Whether it is Shogakukan's own magazine or the male "attractiveness" rankings published by Neon and other media, Hanyu Hideki has never fallen out of the top three.

Although he is famous as a romantic and talented man, he is still the "diamond king" whom neon women most desire to marry.

Now Hideki Hanyu returns to romance novels again.

Aiga Masahiro could guess how terrifying the sales volume would be without even thinking.

Thinking of this, Masahiro Aiga quickly tried to ask, "Since President Hanyu's picture book is going to be released on America, when will this love novel be released, and should it cooperate with this year's signing event?"

As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone.

It seemed like he was asking about the release date of the novel, but he actually asked about the book signing.

After all, with Hanyu Hideki's current financial resources, it doesn't matter whether he sells books or not, and the tiring book signing is even more dispensable.

"A book signing?"

Hideki Hanyu pondered.

Thinking about the exhaustion of running through so many cities, he didn't want to do it.

But when I think about the people who support him, there are too many cities to run around, so it’s okay to just pick a few and wander around.

But for the time being, he didn't know when he would have time.

So all I can say is, "The release date of the novel has not been determined yet. We will wait until it is confirmed."

"Okay, then I'll wait for President Hanyu's manuscript."

While Hanyu Hideki was talking to Aiga Masahiro, Ishihara Chie, who was waiting outside, received another call from Mizukura Shunichi.

Today, the Asian Music Association released an announcement on the optimization of the 'Asian Music Awards' in the media.

The problem is that this announcement was issued in the name of the board of directors, and his name as president is not included in the entire article.

Junichi Mizura has realized it.

Hanyu Hideki only exerted force behind his back and did not reveal himself, so he relied on the board of directors to ignore him as the president.

However, Hanyu Hideki's failure to immediately take action on his position as president proved that things could still be undone.

Therefore, Mizukura Junichi wanted to meet Hanyu Hideki and express in person his attitude that he knew his mistakes and could correct them.

But the problem is, the phone call got through again today.

But the female assistant on the phone once again said that Hanyu Hideki wanted to discuss cooperation at Shogakukan and had no time to meet.

As soon as Mizukura Shun rushed to Shogakukan, Hanyu Hideki was still not there.

Time comes on the 21st.

Junichi Mizukura continued to contact Hideki Hanyu.

He has decided that if it doesn't work out this time, he will find someone to help make the connection.

"President Du Cang, I'm very sorry. President Hanyu was invited to attend the family dinner hosted by Senator **** today and doesn't have time to see you."

After hearing the name of the congressman on the phone, Junichi Mizukura stopped looking for him in person.

After all, this congressman who once worked in Wanwan is now quite powerful.

Don't talk about him, even if the elders of his family were not invited, they would not be able to break into other people's homes rashly.

evening.

Hideki Hanyu left the parliamentarian's house.

This visit is naturally for investment in Wanwan.

The conversation was quite pleasant, and the other party also expressed his willingness to help.

Putting all this aside, Hanyu Hideki asked Ishihara Chie as usual, "Did Mizukura Shunichi call again today?"

In recent days, Junichi Mizukura's phone calls were more punctual than his alarm clock, so he asked this question.

Chie Ishihara replied, "The call came. I feel that this Mizukura president will not give up for a long time."

Hanyu Hideki smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter whether he gives up or not. Anyway, I won't be in Neon for a while. If he is willing, he can come to China to find me."

That's right, his official trip to China for business investment inspection is finally about to begin.
-

Number twenty-two.

Haneda International Airport.

After Hideki Hanyu arrived, he met with an accompanying team of more than twenty people.

The composition of the team is very complicated, except for his personal team.

There are also employees from Hanyu Investment, Aiyi International, Uniqlo, Elf Entertainment, Elf Communication and other companies.

Of course, there are also the food club employees led by Yasui Yosuke.

During this inspection, he planned to directly finalize a package of investment plans.

The scale of investment is also huge.

As for the itinerary.

Today, the 22nd, we will depart from Tokyo and arrive in Xiangjiang. We will stay in Xiangjiang for two days to handle relevant procedures.

Then enter Pengcheng from the port of Xiangjiang and officially start the business investment inspection.

When it was time to board the plane, they all boarded the Elf.

As for why I didn’t choose “Yunshanghao”.

It was because Shota Yoshioka took the "Yunshanghao" to Europe to help Storm Advertising develop business.

When the Spirit landed at Kai Tak International Airport, as soon as they left the airport, there was nothing unusual among the rest of the team, but Hideki Hanyu clearly felt a strong "New Year's flavor".

Think about it, today is the 22nd, and the 28th is New Year’s Eve.

There are only seven days left before the Spring Festival.

Maybe they can spend the Spring Festival in the mainland during this inspection.

He has traveled so far and this is his first time to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Because of his status and the large scale of this investment, he also filed an application with the country in advance.

Therefore, when he arrived in Xiangjiang, among the people who picked him up were domestic staff who would help him handle the relevant procedures.

After a brief communication, everyone in the team went to the hotel to check in.

Hideki Hanyu went to No. 89 Repulse Bay.

After entering the door, the maid immediately stepped forward to catch his coat and asked carefully, "Sir, do you want to eat tonight?"

"Bake some porridge and stir-fry some side dishes. I want..." Hanyu Hideki ordered a few dishes.

"Yes, sir."

After the maid answered, she quickly left.

She saw the fear in the maid's tone and movements towards him.

Hanyu Hideki probably guessed why.

Because of the incident in Hawaii, he not only kicked Guan Zhilin out of Baishawan Manor, but also Xiangjiang.

It was probably his ruthless approach that made the maid feel intimidated.

After all, Guan Zhilin spent more time with the maid than his real master.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki was already considering whether to contact the service company and replace these maids.

After all, he doesn't like people who can't distinguish priorities.

Just as he was thinking about it, the maid from earlier came in again and reported to him, "Sir, there is a Miss Zhang visiting."

"Let her in."

There is no one else but Zhang Yan who can come here to find Miss Zhang.

But as soon as he came back, the other party came over, and the information was really well-informed.

After a while, Zhang Yan walked into the living room.

She took off her outer coat, revealing a slim-fitting skirt that fully revealed her sexy figure.

Plus a burgundy wave and flaming red lips.

It can be seen that the other party has carefully prepared to meet Hanyu Hideki.

You can't do it without preparation. After all, Hanyu Hideki's attitude towards Guan Zhilin not only shocked the maid, but also frightened Zhang Yan.

Went on vacation to Hawaii a few months ago.

After Hideki Hanyu left, she picked up her family on the Elf, while Guan Zhilin picked up some of her best friends.

But next, she was surrounded by family.

But Guan Zhilin picked up more and more people, making Baishawan Manor a mess. She didn't have a good time and left early with her family.

She also didn't expect that Guan Zhilin would stay in Hawaii for so long and pick up more and more people.

Later, she heard about it in Hong Kong. Guan Zhilin was generously inviting friends in the "celebrity" circle in Hong Kong to go to Hawaii for vacation. Everyone who talked about it looked envious.

But the good times didn't last long. More than a month after the news spread, the direction of the situation changed immediately.

Someone who was invited said that they were having fun in Hawaii and were kicked out in the middle of the night.

Moreover, Guan Zhilin himself was also kicked out.

Then Zhang Yan discovered that after Guan Zhilin returned to Xiangjiang, he moved out of No. 89 Repulse Bay.

After all, she used to be able to see at home that No. 89 Repulse Bay was brightly lit every night, but now it was dark every night.

After discovering this, Zhang Yan asked someone to inquire about Guan Zhilin.

Guan Zhilin, who had been generous and generous in the socialite circle since meeting Hanyu Hideki, spent a lot of money. After returning from Hawaii, he suddenly became calm and no longer spent money lavishly.

Asian Cinemas, who never bothered to go to work before, now clocks in every day and is never late.

Recently, it was reported that Guan Zhilin is making a comeback and starting to look for movies.

Guan Zhilin used to be just like her.

She lives in a house that ordinary people can't afford. She spends more money on a single shopping trip than most celebrities in Hong Kong. Everyone has to give her some face wherever she goes.

She has long been accustomed to such a luxurious life without any worries.

I have almost forgotten what life was like before.

But what happened to Guan Zhilin made Zhang Yan wake up instantly.

Understanding all this, Hanyu Hideki can give it to them and take it back at any time.

But so what if you understand?

Is she willing to give up her current life?

Can she give up her current life?

The answer is obviously no.

The family was crowded into a small tenement building, living a life where they had to eat without finishing a meal, beautiful clothes could only be seen but not bought, and they were looked down upon wherever they went.

She must never go back!

Therefore, she must not become the Guan Zhilin she is now.

Therefore, when she saw the lights at No. 89 Repulse Bay turned on and realized that Hideki Hanyu might be here, she immediately packed up and rushed over.

With a slight twist of the waist, Zhang Yan squeezed into Hanyu Hideki's arms.

"My dear, why didn't you tell me why you came to Xiangjiang?"
