Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 627: A Woman You Can't Provoke, Someone in Paris Gives You a House

“He rules the storm!

He controls thunder!
He is the almighty king of gods..."

In the bedroom on the second floor of the mansion at 18-19 Kensington Gardens Street, Hideki Hanyu leaned comfortably on the cushion at the head of the bed.

In front of him, on the carpet in front of the bed, Rachel Weisz was performing a story in an aria-like voice.

According to the other party, this is a play about Norse mythology.

However, Hanyu Hideki himself is not interested in this aspect, so he is not sure what specific performance will be.

Of course, performance is not the point.

The point is, in order to make her performance more realistic, Rachel Weisz was only wearing a thin and transparent scarf that was originally covering the bedroom cabinet.

If I had to describe that vague picture, it would be like the undecorated "artistic" beauty of the oil paintings depicting Norse mythology that Hanyu Hideki had seen in the past.

Although Hideki Hanyu is not very interested in such aria-like lines.

But as a professional actress, Rachel Weisz's figure and the enchanting charm when she twisted her body fascinated Hanyu Hideki.

Sure enough, professional "COS" is more attractive.

And just as Hideki Hanyu was concentrating on admiring the beautiful woman's performance.

Rachel Weisz suddenly stopped and smiled charmingly at Hanyu Hideki, saying, "Respected God King, what are you waiting for? I am humble and ready to offer everything."

Yo ho!

Hideki Hanyu didn't expect that this woman who was only 19 years old could be so good at playing.

I just casually arranged a friendly match, but I didn’t expect there would be such an unexpected surprise.

Now that the role has come to this, the scumbag will naturally not let down his guard.

He immediately stood up and stood tall.

He said in a pretentious tone, "Then please me."

Rachel Weisz then gently posed, came in front of Hideki Hanyu, knelt down on her own initiative, and began to please him as described in the plot.

However, since this scene is too large in scale, there is no need to go into details here.
-
Use your imagination to divide the line——
May 30th.

Rachel Weisz, with a slightly tired but contented look on her face, bid farewell to Hideki Hanyu in a graceful manner without any reluctance.

Hideki Hanyu, who sent her to the car, looked refreshed and energetic, and was very satisfied with Rachel Weisz.

A friendly match is a friendly match. Beautiful people who live well and are not clingy are what he wants most.

Everyone gets what they need, and if you are satisfied, just give a good review.

Why does it have to last forever?

Happy, the scumbag handed Rachel Weisz a personal business card before leaving.

"If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. I am very satisfied with you."

Rachel Weisz smiled and said, "Me too."

"Of course, if you need help in other areas, you can also come to me."

As a powerful super-rich man, Hideki Hanyu's promise to ordinary people is of great significance.

Although Rachel Weisz is not very old, she entered society early. Her years of traveling around the country have made her understand the weight of Hanyu Hideki's words.

Therefore, she took the business card very seriously, realizing that the one night stand she had last night had given her an opportunity to change her life.

And people like Hanyu Hideki will naturally not help her indefinitely.

Perhaps there is only one chance, and she must seize it and use it at the most critical moment.

And just like that, Hideki Hanyu and Rachel Weisz said goodbye.

After a brief period of indulgence, it is natural to get down to business.

That afternoon, Hideki Hanyu received Wendelin Wiedeking and Glyn Laws at his home.

Wendelin Wiedeking also reported on some of the investigations into the Leland Group.

As for Green Laws, who has the heaviest task at this stage, he reported on the progress of his work.

"I have prepared everything according to the boss's arrangement. The event will be held as usual tomorrow. The prince has also been contacted in advance and is confirmed to attend the event."

"Is he the only one?" asked Hanyu Hideki.

Although there has been a lot of gossip about the prince and princess' emotional crisis recently, given Hideki Hanyu's understanding of these celebrities, the event he is preparing for tomorrow should still be very attractive.

"I don't know about that, and it's impossible for me to ask the prince's liaison officer about this matter." Green Laws spread his hands helplessly.

Hideki Hanyu knew that not only Green Laws but even he himself could not intervene in this matter.

So I can only say to them, "Okay, you two have worked hard, and I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Goodbye, boss."

After saying goodbye to the two, Hideki Hanyu did not go out again. After asking the chef to prepare dinner at home, he began to think about what he needed to do after the meeting tomorrow.

During this time, he also learned from his secretary that Catherine Zeta-Jones had already boarded a plane to America.

This "English Rose" should have continued to shine on British stage plays for two years, and then worked hard in the European film and television circles for a few more years. It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that she truly entered Hollywood.

Now, because of his influence, he is going to enter Hollywood ahead of time.

Whether this change is good or bad for Catherine Zeta-Jones, only time will tell.

Hideki Hanyu didn't take such a small matter to heart.

Naturally, his attention is focused on his own affairs.

Compared to those insignificant women, his career is the most important.

June is just around the corner, and the new production line that Toyota helped Lamborghini build will be fully delivered by the end of July.

As for the design he provided, that is, the Lamborghini Gallardo that is used for mass production, the preliminary design and research and development center has completed the technical design and production demonstration.

Once the new production line is completed, we will begin trial production of engineering prototypes.

If all goes well, Wendelin Wiedeking would like to have the Lamborghini Gallardo on display at several major auto shows around the world next year.

And according to the publicity plan previously proposed by Hideki Hanyu, comprehensive publicity and marketing work will be carried out.

The end of 1989, 1990, is when this car was put into mass production and could be officially delivered.

Therefore, although purchasing the brand under the Leyland Group is important, it cannot affect the development of Lamborghini because of this.

After all, once the mass-produced "Niu" car is launched on the market, subsequent plans will be implemented one by one.

May 30th just passed like that.

Hideki Hanyu had a good rest for the night in Kensington Gardens.

The next day.

He got up early, got ready with the help of his stylist, and then took a Rolls-Royce to Marylebone.

Located between Regent's Park and Hyde Park, adjacent to Mayfair, it is one of the most prestigious wealthy areas in London.

Here is London's first large-scale Vigorous membership store.

After the success of Vigorous convenience store's membership model in Hong Kong, the UK operations team also decisively learned from the experience and opened this large membership store in Marylebone last month.

Hideki Hanyu's destination today is this large membership store of Vigorous.

It is no longer appropriate to call it a convenience store at this point.

It should be called a high-end convenience store.

However, although Hideki Hanyu's destination today is here, it is not to inspect this store.

Although Vigorous borrowed a considerable amount of money from a British bank to open this store.

But today's Vigorous membership store is just a stage for Hideki Hanyu's plan.

A simple activity venue has been set up in the open space in front of the Vigorous membership store.

One could even see uniformed London PCs patrolling around, clearly taking this event, which hadn't even started, very seriously.

The organizer of the event is not the Vigorous membership store, but a subsidiary of the Council for Environmental Education, a well-known British environmental organization.

The Council for Environmental Education is of course a non-profit organization, and even an international organization, but no one knows the true face of these so-called environmental protection organizations in Europe and the United States better than Hideki Hanyu from later generations.

They use the gimmick of non-profit, but while they all claim to be environmentalists, all they think about is business.

On the surface, he is fooling some idiots who have been fooled by happy education to cause trouble, but secretly he is helping the big money sponsor to do things.

Today's event was organized by Hideki Hanyu.

The theme of the event is very simple, which is to promote organic products, publicize the relationship between organic products and environmental protection, and award prizes to those who have contributed to the promotion of organic products.

Ok……

The above is all nonsense.

Only the last one is important.

Let me ask you, in the great country of Britain, who could be better than His Royal Highness the Prince at promoting organic products?

Following in the footsteps of Vigorous, Prince's organic products have gone beyond the UK and into the world. This contribution is simply too great.
Awards must be given.

And this is the "face" that Hideki Hanyu prepared for the prince.

As for the "inside" of subsidies, that is of course discussed in private.

As for how he organized this event.

That's actually simpler.

Let Green Laws find this non-profit organization and contact their department that can accept donations to express his sincere love for environmental protection.

By the way, donate a large sum of money.

Then, this activity that could accept donations, hook up with His Royal Highness the Prince, and absorb donations legally and in compliance with regulations was quickly created.

Even the title of "Earth Environmental Ambassador" given to the prince was hastily made.

However, in this day and age, environmental protection is a niche activity.

No one will pay attention to what activities a non-profit environmental protection organization that accepts donations has held in the past or what awards it has won now.

In short, as long as the event is held, the atmosphere is hyped up, the media is gathered, and the matter is done in a lively manner, it will be fine.

When everything was over, the environmental protection organization promoted its ideas and received benefits.

During a critical period when the prince was surrounded by scandals, he made his presence felt, improved his personal reputation through environmental protection, and slightly reversed his public image.

As for Hideki Hanyu who is pushing all this behind the scenes.

He doesn't care whether ordinary people know that this campaign was driven by him.

Because he only has one target.

It is enough for the prince to know.

So after seeing what Hideki Hanyu did, think about some celebrities in later generations who went to some seemingly high-end events to receive awards.

It goes without saying what happened behind the scenes.

After all, some of them are just performances for outsiders.

What these people really want to gain is not something ordinary people can understand.

After the event starts, as the person driving it behind the scenes, Hideki Hanyu will naturally not show up.

He just stood by the window of the office on the second floor of the Vigorous membership store, quietly watching the progress of the activities downstairs.

As a black Bentley slowly drove over and the London PCs around it immediately became cautious, Hideki Hanyu knew that the protagonist of today's event had arrived.

As expected, when the waiter opened the car door, the prince, dressed in a suit and with slightly sparse hair, got out.

What Hanyu Hideki didn't expect was that just as the prince waved to the media, the door on the other side of the Bentley was opened.

The famous princess also came down.

Seeing the princess wearing increasingly colorful clothes and dressing more and more fashionably, Hanyu Hideki immediately frowned.

No matter how this princess is evaluated in the future, no matter how many people in the future sympathize with her, she is now an absolute unstable factor for him.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu does not want his plan to be disrupted by the appearance of the other party.

"Have you considered this situation?"

Hideki Hanyu asked Green Laws beside him.

Although he didn't say what the situation was, everyone present knew what he was referring to.

Green Laws quickly replied, "Of course we have considered it. Don't worry, boss. We have also prepared corresponding honors for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Could it be the same as the prince's?" Hanyu Hideki asked hurriedly.

After all, that person's petty and irritable temper was often displayed in front of the media in later generations.

Green Laws replied, "It's definitely different, it's just an insignificant title."

"Very good, I hope nothing unexpected happens today."

Hideki Hanyu can only pray like this.

After all, even if the two people below really caused some trouble, he would actually be powerless to do anything.

But fortunately everything went well.

Although the princess came, she still maintained her dignity on the surface.

Moreover, the other party came here to enhance their personal image with the help of environmental protection activities and would not easily cause any trouble.

The event went as planned, and the final award ceremony was held with great care in the presence of the media.

Next, the prince led the media to visit his exclusive organic product area in the Vigorous membership store.

Prince told the media with a beaming face that his organic brand had been promoted in so many countries and had gained such a large market share.

In the process of cultivation and production, these organic products have reduced the use of fertilizers, pollution, and promoted environmental protection, etc.

When the prince had almost finished scanning his face, the media left one after another, and Green Laws also left the office to guide the prince and princess to meet Hideki Hanyu.

In the office, after the two met, Hanyu Hideki greeted politely, "Your Highness, it is a great honor to see you again."

"Mr. Hanyu, I want to thank you for your help." The prince was quite friendly towards the young super-rich Hanyu Hideki.

After all, there is only the vague interest relationship between the two of them.

In the prince's opinion, the young rich man Hideki Hanyu is experienced in doing things, and even if he needs something from him, he will feel comfortable and sensible.

Whether it is the suggestions from organic brands or today's environmental protection event show, they can both hit the spot for him.

In addition, he felt that both sides were young people and there was no generation gap like when facing those old men, so he had a good impression of Hanyu Hideki.

The meeting between the two started off pleasantly, and subsequent communication became smooth.

On the surface, the two did not discuss any tangible interests.

But in the end, the prince invited Hanyu Hideki to attend a party tomorrow night, obviously intending to introduce some people to Hanyu Hideki.

Needless to say, it must be related to the Leland Group.

After finishing this matter, the prince did not stay long and took the initiative to say goodbye to Hideki Hanyu and left.

But when the prince left, the princess who had been silent said, "You go first, I want to take a look here."

"up to you."

After the prince said this coldly, he left without looking back.

When the people around saw this, they all looked as if they had seen and heard nothing.

After all, it is better for ordinary people to stay out of the scandals of the British royal family.

It’s not that the British royal family has much deterrent power.

But for the British royal family today, if you get even a little bit involved, you won’t get any benefits but will easily get into trouble.

Anyone with a higher vision has no interest in getting too deeply involved.

The same is true for Hideki Hanyu.

It can be seen from the fact that the prince turned his back on the princess in public that the relationship between the two is probably no longer in crisis, but is officially on the verge of collapse.

He doesn't have time to get involved in these bullshit.

So after the prince left, everyone else left, and he stayed until the end only out of courtesy as the host.

After seeing that the princess's expression had eased a little, he took the initiative to say goodbye to her and planned to leave.

But at this moment, the princess, whose complexion had just recovered, said to him, "Mr. Hanyu, please stay. I am very interested in your Vigorous membership store. Can you accompany me to visit it?"

As soon as the princess said this, Hanyu Hideki immediately felt that something was wrong.

He didn't want to get into trouble, but trouble still found him.

Judging from later news, after the breakup of her relationship with the prince, the princess not only began to pay attention to her image, but also started to pursue a fashionable style.

She also did something that has not been publicly confirmed but has angered the royal family. She followed her husband's example and maintained intimate relationships with multiple men within her marriage.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but wonder if the other party wanted to make something of him.

Not to mention that he really couldn't appreciate the princess's beauty.

Even if he could really appreciate it, he wouldn't dare to have any bad thoughts.

After all, the other party's identity is there.

He is also a well-known big mouth and dares to tell the media anything.

If his name came out of the other person's mouth, it would be really bad just to think about it. Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki refused without hesitation, "I'm very sorry, I have already arranged my next trip. If you want to visit, I can arrange for the store manager here to accompany you."

When the princess heard what Hanyu Hideki said, she didn't say anything at first.

He just stared quietly at Hanyu Hideki's handsome face.

The air suddenly became solidified.

After a while, the princess suddenly sighed and said, "Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Hanyu."

"This is what I should do."

Hanyu Hideki responded and quickly ordered his men to call the store manager to accompany the princess on the tour.

As for him, he immediately left the Vigorous membership store.

The scumbag eventually met the woman he couldn't afford to offend.

Although it is exciting to think about letting the prince be a minotaur.

But when he thought about the price he had to pay, Hanyu Hideki's reason overwhelmed his urge to seek excitement.

On the way back to Kensington Gardens Street, Hanyu Hideki asked Green Laws, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "What did you gain from settling accounts with the prince's men just now?"

Green Laws curled his lips and replied, "Of course they are very happy to give the fund so much profit in one go, and a large subsidy from the prince."

"Haha, as long as you're happy." said Hanyu Hideki.

"The prince actually met me in the end. When he was listening to his subordinates' reports, he couldn't suppress his smile. It turns out that no matter how high-ranking a person is, they will all behave the same way when they see benefits."

As a British man, Green Laws was obviously very dissatisfied with the prince's private behavior.

Hanyu Hideki heard this and smiled.

"There is an old Chinese saying that says that all people in this world are busy and busy just for profit.

A prince is a human being, no matter how you take off the title. He is just like you and me."

After that, Hanyu Hideki instructed Green Laws, "You will accompany me to the party tomorrow, and you can go back to Manchester after it's over."

"Then..." Green Laws hesitated to speak.

Hideki Hanyu naturally knew what the other party wanted to say.

So he pointed it out directly and said, "Bonus, right? I haven't forgotten it, and you shouldn't forget Coach Ferguson's share either."

"Boss, of course I won't forget it." Green Laws patted his chest and promised.

Looking at Green Laws's appearance, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but think of what the other party had just said. He couldn't help but shook his head secretly and sighed in his heart.

"Every bustle in the world is for the benefit of the future. All the hustle and bustle of the world is for the benefit of the future."

……

The last day of May.

Hideki Hanyu attended the party invited by the prince as promised.

There is no need to go into detail about the process, but at this party, the prince introduced a British official to Hideki Hanyu.

The other party was one of the persons in charge of the sale of the Leyland Group.

In a corner of the party, when Hideki Hanyu expressed his thoughts, the person in charge, who holds the title of knight, simply said that he could not decide on this matter for the time being.

He needs to think about it, discuss it with his colleagues, and communicate with British Airways.

So Hanyu Hideki needs to wait patiently.

Hideki Hanyu asked how long he would have to wait, but the time given by the other party was quite ambiguous.

How about as short as a week or as long as a month.

Hideki Hanyu was helpless about this.

After all, the British government's lax and procrastinating bureaucratic style is well-known around the world.

It was already good enough that the prince could help him get involved. It was definitely impossible to expect the other party to help urge him on.

After the party, on the way back to Kensington Gardens, Hanyu Hideki said to Wendelin Wiedeking and Green Laws,

"Next, you need to leave someone in London to follow up on this matter. It would be best to find a professional PR company to follow up and lobby. They can do things more conveniently than us."

"What about you, boss?" asked Green Laws.

Hanyu Hideki replied, "I can't stay in London all the time for this matter. If there is any news here, Wiedeking will inform me as soon as possible."

Wendelin Wiedeking nodded, "Okay, I understand."

……

And so, on June 1st, Children's Day, Hideki Hanyu, who was unwilling to wait in London, left London on the Yunshang.

However, his first stop was not Asia or America, but the headquarters of AI International, France.

His answers in a previous interview with The Times caused the French media to suffer a great loss in the competition for "Brigitte" and they completely declared defeat.

Therefore, when he came to France this time and was asked questions by reporters after getting off the plane, his questions did not seem so polite.

However, Hideki Hanyu is not just a writer, so he does not care too much about the attitude of these media. Besides, he is just telling the truth.

He got in the car and headed straight for the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The 7th arrondissement is located on the south bank of Paris, including the western end of the Île de la Cité. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Paris, and is home to the Eiffel Tower, the Bourbon Palace, and the Musee d'Orsay.

This is also where many historical sites, national embassies and French institutions are concentrated.

The 7th arrondissement is the most typical wealthy area in Paris, and the public security is definitely good during this period.

Even in later times, the 7th arrondissement is relatively one of the safest areas in Paris.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu came to France, and came directly here after arriving in France, was to meet someone.

That was Mrs. Tanaka.

Last year, taking advantage of a stock market crash, Hideki Hanyu successfully acquired LVMH Group and Dior in the secondary market. Later, he used equity transactions to merge LVMH Group into AIYI International.

Only today has the integration of both transactions been completed.

Ayi International has also decided to hold the first formal board meeting of LVMH Group after the acquisition recently.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Tanaka is in Paris.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu would not miss this important meeting.

Since Mrs. Tanaka has arrived in Paris, Hideki Hanyu naturally has to visit her.

Unlike when he was in Paris, he liked to stay in hotels.

In order to make it convenient to live in Paris after moving there, Mrs. Tanaka purchased a property in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

Hideki Hanyu's car was parked right outside Mrs. Tanaka's property.

This is a typical Parisian style mansion.

There are no traditional courtyard walls and gates. What you see is simple greenery facing the street, and inside is an exterior wall with a palace arch style and paved with dark stone.

The entire building looks like an irregular "7", with the highest floor being eight stories high and the lowest being six stories high. The main body of the building above the second floor is white, and the design style is relatively modern.

You can vaguely see a lot of greenery on the second-floor terrace in the center. It seems that because the ground is limited, an aerial garden was deliberately built.

Although Hideki Hanyu has not gone up yet, he can already imagine that standing on the top of this mansion, he can definitely clearly appreciate all the beautiful scenery of the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

In Paris, where every inch of land is valuable, such a house is definitely considered a super luxury home. It is much more expensive than those so-called luxury apartments with views.

It can be seen from this that the fact that she was able to buy such a luxury house in Paris clearly shows that the decline of Japan's lighting manufacturing industry in recent years has not had much impact on Mrs. Tanaka's net worth.

Moreover, the other party followed him in investing in China, and later cooperated with Ayi International, so he probably made a lot of money.

(Reference map of luxury houses in District 7)

Just as Hideki Hanyu was looking at the mansion from outside, Yukio Tanaka suddenly appeared in his sight.

When this guy saw Hanyu Hideki, he immediately came up to him with a warm look on his face and deliberately teased him, "Hanyu-kun, why don't you come in when you're here? Do you have to make me go out to greet you in person?"

Hanyu Hideki smiled, "I just didn't expect Yukio-san to come to Paris as well."

"My mother insisted on bringing me here to see what's going on. Not only am I here, my beloved son and the kids are here too. Come in with me quickly. We're all waiting for you to have lunch with us."

Yukio Tanaka greeted.

Hanyu Hideki said, "Then let's go. It's not good to keep Mrs. Tanaka waiting for a long time."

Under the guidance of Yukio Tanaka, Hideki Hanyu walked around the short green belt in front and entered the room from the main door next to it.

Compared to the compact layout on the outside, the space inside the house is quite large.

However, the two floors below are basically functional rooms such as the kitchen, laundry room, maid's room, and internal garage.

The house where the owner lives and moves around should actually start from the third floor where there is better lighting.

The house has its own internal elevator. Hideki Hanyu and Yukio Tanaka had just taken the elevator to the third floor. When they opened the door, they saw Mrs. Tanaka welcoming him, and Aiko Tanaka holding Tanaka Xingyueye.

Hideki Hanyu walked up to greet them with the etiquette of a junior, and also said hello to Aiko Tanaka. After teasing Tanaka Xingyueye for a while, he enjoyed lunch together at the invitation of Mrs. Tanaka.

After lunch, everyone went to the sky garden in the center of the second floor, where they drank tea and talked about the upcoming board meeting.

Today, AIYI International controls the LVMH Group. After years of training, AIYI's team of professional managers has gradually perfected and sorted out a set of development and expansion, hype and publicity, and marketing and operation concepts. Naturally, they also want the LVMH Group to follow AIYI International's route.

This route is actually Hideki Hanyu's reference to Bernard Arnault's marketing strategy, which is to continuously use capital power to expand and acquire, constantly shape the brand history, create a high-end luxury image, and then use the brand influence to monetize.

Whether it is the brand itself, or various derivatives, or even using the concept of luxury to create luxury hotels of different styles, etc.

All to maximize the benefits of the brand.

Now that the integration is complete, it is time to speed up the development of the LVMH Group.

Although Ayi International has completed the controlling stake and integration of the LVMH Group, there are still many voices of opposition to the reform within the LVMH Group, so this formal board meeting is so important.

Those different voices must be suppressed, otherwise there will be no talk of subsequent development.

Hideki Hanyu and Mrs. Tanaka spent the entire afternoon arguing about this matter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hideki Hanyu decided to say goodbye and leave.

Because he had other activities to attend in the evening.

In France, he has more than one business, namely AIYI International.

At this time, Mrs. Tanaka tried to persuade him to stay, "You don't have to leave tonight, Hanyu-san. The environment here is much better than that of a hotel.

In fact, Hanyu-san has come to Paris so many times that I thought he had already bought a property in Paris. After all, we still have to try to integrate here so that we can do better business here.”

Hanyu Hideki shook his head when he heard this and said, "I don't think buying a house will help you integrate into the local community, whether it's France or any other country."

Although Hideki Hanyu has purchased properties in many places, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, he even has considerable investments in these places.

But he didn't think that these things would make others treat him as one of their own.

Thinking of this, he continued.

"There is an old Chinese saying, 'Those who are not my kind must have different hearts.' This saying may not be meant for others, but just to find an excuse for myself to do something.

Didn’t the experience of the Japanese in the United States during World War II prove this point?

In my opinion, Akio Morita's idea of ​​integrating himself into America did not learn any historical lessons at all and was wrong from the very beginning.

Not to mention that his whole family lives in New York, even if he directly immigrated to America and moved Sony to the United States, it would not solve any problems.

So, what we want to reach out to are not specific people, but culture, capital, and those invisible tentacles that can control human nature and desires. The essence of those tentacles is..."

At this point, Hanyu Hideki raised two fingers.

“money&interest.”

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki sighed silently.

An indescribable emotion surged in my heart.

Standing at the downstream of history, he can look at many things rationally.

But for a time traveler like him, it is actually difficult to feel a sense of belonging, whether in America or Europe.

Even in his base Neon is the same.

Even Hong Kong and Taiwan are just familiar strangers to him.

But he could never...never return to the land where he truly felt a sense of belonging.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

What was true of that land was true of him now.

Shaking off the emotions in his mind, Hanyu Hideki said to Mrs. Tanaka, "I appreciate Mrs. Tanaka's kindness, but I have other plans tonight, so I'll take my leave now."

Who would have thought that after pondering Hanyu Hideki's words, Mrs. Tanaka continued to try to persuade him to stay.

"Hanyu-san, wait a minute!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

In fact, the house you see does not belong entirely to me. To thank Mr. Hanyu for your help over the years, the other half of it actually belongs to you. "

While Mrs. Tanaka was speaking, Yukio Tanaka had already handed a document to Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "What is this?"

Yukio Tanaka replied, "The title deed belongs to Hanyu-kun."

Hanyu Hideki took it and took a look. It was all in French and he couldn't understand anything except the part where his name was written.

But a part of the schematic diagram let him know that this mansion, which was shaped like a "7", and the highest horizontal part on it, belonged to him from top to bottom.

This part has an independent entrance door and garage, an independent elevator, an independent sky garden terrace, and is completely separated from the part where Mrs. Tanaka lives.

The only place that could be connected was the rooftop garden courtyard on the second floor where he was now.

"That's not necessary."

Hideki Hanyu is not short of money and has never thought about buying property in Paris before.

So the first reaction is to refuse.

Mrs. Tanaka said, "Please accept it, Hanyu-san. Compared with your care for Tanaka Clothing and the profits earned by the Tanaka family, this little gift is nothing."

Seeing that the old lady’s tone was sincere, her body almost prostrated on the ground while she spoke.

Yukio Tanaka next to him also joined in the fun.

"That's right. This house looks big, but in fact, it's not as expensive as the apartment you gave me in the harbor. If I didn't think I could be your neighbor, I would have asked my mother to give you the whole building."

Both mother and son tried to persuade him, and Hanyu Hideki was not a pretentious person.

And although the house is expensive, it is nothing to people like them.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll accept it. It will give me one more place to stay in Paris in the future."

"If Hanyu-kun comes to Paris in the future, don't forget to inform me. Then we can go together. I heard that the girls in Paris...haha!"

Yukio Tanaka had only said half of his words when he realized that his mother, wife and children were still around, so he quickly stopped talking and just laughed it off to cover it up.

Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to pay attention to this "idiot".

He casually handed the house deed, a bunch of keys and other house accessories that Mrs. Tanaka had sent to him, to Marco who had been following him.

Marco had been with him for many years, so he would naturally check the house without him having to remind him.

Then he said goodbye to Mrs. Tanaka again.

……

After leaving the mansion in District 7, Hideki Hanyu hurried to the hotel.

Almost all of his luggage was transported here.

I'm going to attend an event in the evening, so naturally I have to come to the hotel to change clothes and get ready.

Of course, once Marco has checked everything in the mansion, all these things will be shipped over soon.

The meeting between AIYI International and LVMH Group will take a few more days, so he will definitely have to stay in Paris for a few days, during which time he can take care of things here.

And tonight's event was another reason for him to come to Paris besides meeting Mrs. Tanaka.

As for what the activity is, it is related to movies.

The Cannes Film Festival ended a week ago. Yunshang Pictures, together with French Gaumont, invested in Luc Besson's "The Big Blue" and made good profits from selling the film in Cannes.

Although it has not yet been officially released in Europe, it has already recovered its costs and made a profit through sales in the film market.

Therefore, tonight, Gaumont Company held a celebration party, and it was natural for Yunshang Pictures, as one of the investors, to be present.

When Gaumont's boss, Gulas Seydoux, learned that Hanyu Hideki was also in Europe, he personally called and invited Hanyu to participate, hoping to get to know Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu has not yet decided whether to participate.

However, since Mrs. Tanaka came to Paris, he decided to stop by and accepted the invitation.

After tidying up his appearance, Hideki Hanyu took a car and headed to the Morris Hotel where the event was held.

When a French film giant like Gaumont holds a celebration party, people in the French entertainment industry naturally have to give it face.

Therefore, when Hideki Hanyu's car just arrived not far from the hotel entrance, he saw that the hotel where he had stayed before was more lively than ever.

Celebrities and stars came out of their cars and walked into the hotel one after another.

Media reporters were also standing by with their cameras and would occasionally grab a guest for an interview.

This scene made Hanyu Hideki regret having agreed too early.

Just when he was hesitating whether to break the contract and leave, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.

Then a voice came through the car window.

"Chairman, why don't you leave here?"
