Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 711 Winning over
In a private room of a nightclub in Shinjuku.

Qiu Pangpang, who hadn't been seen for a long time, raised his glass and clinked it with Hanyu Hideki, and said with emotion.

"I never expected that the last time I met Hanyu-san, it was with Akie, but this time it was with Heisei."

The era name "Heisei".

Yesterday, Emperor Akie died. Today, all major TV stations broadcast live the change of era name to "Heisei" in Japan.

The Heisei era of Neon has arrived.

As a Chinese, Hideki Hanyu has no feelings about this era name.

The phrase I heard the most in my previous life was probably "A man of the Zhaohe era, a otaku of the Heisei era."

You can hear the difference between the two just from the literal meaning.

It also indirectly shows that after entering the Heisei era, Japan has completely gone to the other extreme from the Shinagawa era, whether in terms of economy, culture, or the spirit of the entire society.

"Yes, it's the Heisei era."

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu sighed.

At this moment, the inexplicable excitement of yesterday has gradually subsided.

His emotions were back under his control.

After careful recollection, he roughly figured out why it happened.

After so many years of rebirth, he has been planning and enduring.

Even as a reborn person, he still tried his best to restrain the use of his own memories.

If he wanted to, he could just stay at home for a few months and write all the hit scripts and best-selling songs for Yunshang Entertainment in the next ten years.

The terrifying cash flow he has on hand allows him to participate in advance and accelerate more profitable fields and industries.

He knows who will be the future leader in politics and can always stand on the side of the winner.

And his memory, which was like a videotape, could help him do much more than that.

This is true for things and for feelings as well.

What kind of help can these women around him provide him, other than the bonus of being celebrities from another time and space in his memory?

He would throw it away when he was done playing, even if it meant abandoning his wife and children.

With his current power, who can do anything to him?

He would not lose anything by doing so.

In fact, he could have gone even further.

There are so many beautiful women in the world who want to be fucked by him that the entire Tokyo Dome cannot accommodate them all. He can have them all with just a flick of his fingers.

But he restrained himself.

He restrained his ambition and worked hard to maintain his bottom line.

He was always waiting, waiting for years of planning to bear fruit.

He longs for success, but doesn't want to become a thorn in the eyes of some people before he has grown strong enough.

He likes to enjoy life and beautiful women, but he doesn't want to completely become a slave to desire.

But just yesterday, Zhaohe Tianhuang died.

He was so happy about the incident that he just wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.

If it were just this matter, it would not be enough to stimulate him.

But he clearly understood that the death of Zhaohe Tianhuang was like a time node in Neon, a clarion call for the closing of his plan.

An era is coming to an end.

The brilliant economy was about to be destroyed.

And he will rise from the ruins.

That's what he was excited about!
Deep down, he never wanted to rely on others, and never thought about relying on anyone. He only believed in himself and would only rely on himself.

Therefore, he will control everything by himself.

This is also the reason why he did not take shortcuts and choose to marry into a prominent Japanese family or a wealthy and powerful person when he was enduring and growing up.

Because in the eyes of Hideki Hanyu who can see through the future, these people are nothing but chickens and dogs.

In the future, they will linger on, holding on to everything they have and sinking along with this dirty land.

So, why should he be tied to these people?

Some people also advised him not to choose to marry with others, otherwise all his power and wealth would be in his hands.

If anything happens to him, everything will fall apart.

But if they get married, doesn't that mean everything he has belongs to him?
Is there anyone who is naive enough to think that such huge interests can be eliminated by just a marriage?

For an ordinary person, a wedding house can cause a couple to break up, let alone Hideki Hanyu's huge wealth.

Maybe after the marriage, the ones who want him dead the most are actually the object of the marriage and the forces involved.

Therefore, in Hideki Hanyu's opinion, it is better to tie himself to countless benefits than to tie himself to an unreliable marriage.

Then prove his vital role in these interests, and then believe that everyone will unite with him for the sake of interests, which is always more reliable than believing in the alliance brought about by a marriage contract.

In this world, the thing that cannot stand the test of the most is feelings.

But what can stand the test the most is interests.

Besides, as a time traveler, Hanyu Hideki did not become more afraid of death because he died once.

The experience of time travel made him no longer care about life and death.

He enjoys everything now because he is still alive.

What if I died?

It’s not like he hasn’t died before.

I’m going to die anyway, so who cares about the flood?

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki drank the wine after clinking glasses with Akimoto Yasushi in one gulp, and then laughed heartily.

His sudden laughter made Akimoto Yasushi a little strange, and also scared Yukio Tanaka who was flirting with the female public relations officer next to him.

"Hanyu-san?" Akimoto Yasushi asked carefully.

Although Akimoto Yasushi and Hanyu Hideki have a good relationship and are collaborators, they can also be considered half friends.

But the difference in status between the two is there after all, and sometimes they can't help but be a little cautious when speaking.

"It's okay, just thinking of some happy things."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he casually asked Akimoto Yasushi, "What are you thinking about doing after returning from America this time?"

“I haven’t decided yet, but I have written an autobiographical novel that I am planning to release, and I also plan to continue writing lyrics for other people’s songs.”

Akimoto Yasushi's answer was very casual, and it seemed that he really had no plans for his career.

But after saying this, he suddenly remembered something and said to Hanyu Hideki, "Oh, by the way, I am going to get married to Takai. The wedding date is set for March. I hope Hanyu-san will come to attend."

After saying that, Akimoto Yasushi turned around and extended an invitation to Tanaka Yukio.

Yukio Tanaka said he would never forget it.

Hideki Hanyu was thinking that Akimoto Yasushi was also influenced by his butterfly wings.

After all, in his previous life, Akimoto Yasushi and Takai Masuko got married in 1988.

As a result, in this time and space, Akimoto Yasushi was abandoned by him and lived in Los Angeles for so long that the wedding date was postponed.

"No problem, I will definitely participate then."

After hearing Hanyu Hideki's agreement, Akimoto Yasushi mentioned another matter, "Takai's agency contract is still with AKS Agency, I hope to help her terminate the contract."

"You are the president of AKS Office. You can make the decision on this matter yourself."

Seeing that Akimoto Yasushi mentioned AKS, Hanyu Hideki asked casually, "Regarding AKS affairs, Akimoto-san is not going to continue to manage it?"

"After the disbandment of the Kitten Club, except for Shizuka Kudo who moved to Yunshang Entertainment, the development of other Kitten members was not very good.

In addition, after I went to America, the agency's work was basically managed by Yunshang Entertainment, and many of them chose to retire. "

Akimoto Yasushi's tone was filled with pain that could not be concealed.

He felt this way not because he felt sorry for the kitten members, but because he felt sorry for his own career.

"Kitten Club" was extremely popular at that time, defeating all singers in Japan. That was also the peak of his career.

But the speed of decline was so fast that he and everyone else were not prepared, and it was even more difficult to accept.

Hanyu Hideki nodded, "Yes, about the members of the Kitten, the only ones I can still hear news about are Kawai Sonoko and Kunio Sayuri."

"I didn't expect that Hanyu-san still remembered them," said Akimoto Yasushi.

Hanyu Hideki said as a matter of course, "Haha, I like beautiful women, so of course I still remember beautiful girls very clearly."

At this time, Tanaka Yukio interrupted and said, "Hanyu-san, if you say that, it will make the beauty around you sad."

As Tanaka Yukio finished his words, a female public relations officer sitting next to Hanyu Hideki immediately cooperated and acted pitifully.

It's a pity that this trick is completely useless against Hideki Hanyu.

First of all, there are so many beautiful women around Hanyu Hideki that he would not have any strange licking feelings simply because a woman is beautiful.

Furthermore, although this female public relations officer is somewhat pretty, she is by no means a top beauty.

Even though in this nightclub, the other party is the top star in the eyes of the manager.

But the reason why Hideki Hanyu stayed with the other woman was because this woman was good at chatting and could provide emotional value to Hideki Hanyu with words.

That's it.

Therefore, in response to Tanaka Yukio's words, Hanyu Hideki raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are ugly, don't act weird. If you don't like it, you can leave at any time."

As he said this, Hanyu Hideki also made a gesture of invitation.

Then the female PR immediately became obedient and hurriedly spoke compliments to Hanyu Hideki, pouring him wine and showing him courtesy.

Looking at the woman's reaction, Hanyu Hideki felt that he had indeed changed.

In the past, he would probably have said a few false words of coaxing, but would never have been so direct and merciless.

It seems that when the charge horn sounded, he was more or less a little reckless.

Of course, this is in his own opinion.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is normal for a powerful man like him to treat a small female public relations officer in this way.

After all, when some powerful people come to play, they often get even more excited.

However, when Akimoto Yasushi heard about Hideki Hanyu's attitude towards the female public relations, he had different thoughts.

He was the one who helped book this night show.

Now that Hanyu Hideki is dissatisfied, he naturally has to find a way to solve it.

In the middle of the meeting, Yasushi Akimoto left the box for a while under the pretext of something.

After he came back, just over half an hour later, two new guests came to the door of the box.

It was not someone else, but Sayuri Kunio and Sonoko Kawai who were just mentioned by Hanyu Hideki.

Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised to see the two girls appear.

But looking at Akimoto Yasushi, it was also expected.

After all, when "Kitten Club" was popular, whether in this time and space or in another time and space, Qiu Pangpang had arranged for members to accompany guests from the industry.

However, in another time and space, Akimoto Yasushi acted more blatantly, while in this time and space, Akimoto Yasushi was slightly more restrained.

After all, you can't expect someone who can make it in the entertainment industry to be a good man.

Especially in Japan's entertainment industry, where the underworld and the white world are intertwined and complex, like a big melting pot.

It is no secret to Hideki Hanyu that Yasushi Akimoto knows certain underworld forces.

It’s just that Hideki Hanyu doesn’t take those guys who are not presentable seriously at all.

But what Hanyu Hideki found interesting was that Sayuri Kunisuke was an artist from AKS agency and could be considered an artist from the Yunshang system, so it was understandable that she was called over.

But Kawai Sonoko is from Sony Entertainment, and I didn't expect that Akimoto Yasushi could be called over.

In fact, what Hanyu Hideki didn’t know was that the reason these two female artists from humble backgrounds were willing to come was not because of Akimoto Yasushi.

Instead, it was Akimoto Yasushi who came for the big boss after explaining the reason.

What about Sonoko Kawai at Sony Entertainment?

After her final highlight last year, her popularity has plummeted. Sony Entertainment has given up on her and no longer invests resources in her.

In this situation, Kawai Sonoko must try her best to save herself. After all, she is used to the bright lights and the prosperity of the entertainment industry. Who would be willing to return to the ordinary life without struggling or having to do anything else?

The two people who came with a goal in mind went straight to the point as soon as they entered the box. Under the resentful look of the female public relations officer, they pushed the other person aside and sat on either side of Hideki Hanyu, one on the left and one on the right.

Of course, it’s not just the female PR person who feels resentful.

There was also Yukio Tanaka who pulled Yasushi Akimoto to complain.

After all, only beautiful women were arranged for Hanyu Hideki, but not for Tanaka Yukio, so this guy would naturally keep complaining about it.

However, Yukio Tanaka's muttering did not last long, because he was soon dragged out by the discerning Akimoto Yasushi, who said he was looking for a beautiful woman for him.

In the entire box, only Hideki Hanyu and the two girls were left.

At this time, the two girls had already drunk a lot of wine in order to please Hideki Hanyu.

Amid the sound of karaoke music, Hanyu Hideki lifted Kawai Sonoko's chin and said with a cheeky smile, "Could it be that Goto Tsurugi can't satisfy you?"

Kawai Sonoko's face, which was already red due to alcohol, became even redder after hearing what Hanyu Hideki said.

After all, everyone in the circle knows that after the disbandment of the Kitty Club, there have been many rumors about her and Goto Tsujiri.

The two broke up and got back together again and again, and were always in an ambiguous stage.

And judging from the history of another time and space, the two did get married a few years later.

Seeing that Kawai Sonoko didn't say anything, Hanyu Hideki didn't bother to be polite anymore. After all, he had accumulated a lot of anger with Kuroki Hitomi before.

He used both arms to hug Kawai Sonoko in his arms, and then used one hand to quickly help Kawai Sonoko remove her armor.

At the same time, his other hand was not idle either, he held Sayuri Kunio next to him and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you."

……

The next morning.

Hideki Hanyu wakes up hungover in a fancy Shinjuku apartment, a rabbit hole of his that he has visited only once before.

Looking at Sayuri Kunio and Sonoko Kawai who were still asleep, the scumbag felt no ripples in his heart. After all, it was just an indulgence that he didn't care about at all.

The two girls were not innocent and he knew exactly what they wanted.

After today, they might not see each other again, so he would not have any idea of ​​taking responsibility at all.

After taking out a business card, writing down his assistant's contact information and leaving a message saying that he could get what he wanted by contacting the assistant, Hideki Hanyu left without hesitation.

While driving in the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, Hanyu Hideki thought about everything that happened last night and called Akimoto Yasushi.

"Akimoto-san, thank you for your gift last night."

Akimoto Yasushi seemed to be awakened by Hanyu Hideki's phone call, and said in a hungover tone, "As long as Hanyu-san likes it."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "I heard from Kawai Sonoko last night that she wants to sign with your AKS agency?"

"Yes, I also want to rebuild her." Akimoto Yasushi did not hide it.

After all, he called the people from Sony Entertainment over with just one phone call last night. Even if Sonoko Kawai herself was willing, it was enough to prove that he and Sonoko Kawai had a connection.

Hanyu Hideki is such a smart person that it is no problem for him to see this clue.

Hanyu Hideki said, "Mr. Akimoto has also seen the trend of the music industry now. It must be very hard to create an idol."

"It's just an attempt." said Akimoto Yasushi.

"Well, since Akimoto-san insists, let's go talk to Sony about the transfer."

Once Hideki Hanyu said this, it meant that the Yunshang clan was willing to support Kawai Sonoko in the transfer.

After all, it is obviously impossible for Yasushi Akimoto to take Sonoko Kawai away from Sony Entertainment by himself.

Of course, this is not as difficult as you might imagine.

After all, Sonoko Kawai is now on the decline, and Sony is unwilling to invest more resources in her, so even if the registration is transferred, it is not a big deal for Sony.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu is willing to do this is not actually for Sonoko Kawai.

Not to mention that the girl and him were very happy last night, it would be useless even if they were happy for ten more nights.

What Hideki Hanyu is interested in is only the talent of Yasushi Akimoto.

"Thank you, Hanyu-san." said Akimoto Yasushi.

"You are Welcome."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued.

"There is one more thing. Cloud Satellite TV plans to go public in March, and I want to reduce some of my burdens before then, including the shares of AKS. If Akimoto-san is interested, I can give it to you at the original price."

When Akimoto Yasushi heard this, he woke up instantly from his hangover.

What Hanyu Hideki meant by this was that he was going to sell or give away his shares in AKS firm at a low price.

Cloud Satellite TV holds approximately 17% of the shares of AKS.

If we say that he was just an insignificant small shareholder in AKS firm before, his role as president meant he was just a professional manager with a higher income.

After buying these shares, he became one of the owners of AKS firm.

Even though AKS Agency's current revenue is not as high as it was during its heyday, its previous income from music copyrights, photo albums, and other sources, as well as its current artist income, are still quite considerable.

It was not difficult for Akimoto Yasushi to guess that Hanyu Hideki was trying to win him over.

Will he accept it?
Nonsense, of course you have to accept it.

Working for others is not as satisfying as being your own boss.

Moreover, this is the olive branch extended by Hanyu Hideki, the thigh tied above the clouds, he can't wait to hold it tighter.

"Thank you, Hanyu-san!"

On the phone, Akimoto Yasushi's gratitude was heartfelt and he could not hide his excitement.

“Haha, I hope I can have a pleasant cooperation with Akimoto-san in the future.

Regarding the issue of shares, Mr. Akimoto can spare some time to discuss it in detail with Yunshang Entertainment.

Oh, by the way, if Mr. Akimoto is interested in the launch of Cloud Satellite TV, we can talk about it then.

I have other things to do, so I won’t say more.”

At the end of his speech, Hideki Hanyu threw out a bigger sweet date.

He heard that Akimoto Yasushi's breathing became heavy before he hung up the phone.

After all, the launch of Cloud Satellite TV is a blockbuster in the Japanese stock market this year.

It has the largest market share in the pay satellite TV sector.

Asia TV Online is continuously expanding overseas.

As well as good revenue and healthy financial condition.

So everyone knew that this was an IPO that was destined to succeed.

Akimoto Yasushi's condition was just as Hanyu Hideki expected.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Pangpang shouted happily at home.

Seeing this, Masuko Takai, who was making breakfast, immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Honey, what happened?"

Akimoto Yasushi excitedly hugged his fiancée and said, "I just received a call from Hanyu-san, and he told me..."

Akimoto Yasushi told Takai Masuko everything that had happened in his conversation with Hanyu Hideki.

After listening to this, Masuko Takai, who is no rookie in the entertainment industry, naturally knew what Hanyu Hideki's attempt to win over her husband meant.

The status and power far exceed those in the past, as well as huge benefits.

She immediately praised Akimoto Yasushi, "Husband, you are amazing. You are so valued by Mr. Hanyu."

When Akimoto Yasushi was praised by his fiancée, he couldn't help but talk about what happened last night in a somewhat elated manner, and did not hide the matter of Kawai Sonoko and Kunio Sayuri.

Seeing that Takai Masuko had a strange expression after hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi hurriedly explained, "I didn't force them. I just told them the situation, and then they came willingly."

"I don't blame you. I know their careers haven't been going well recently, and your husband is trying to find opportunities for them."

At this point, Takai Masuko suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Honey, you said Mr. Hanyu suddenly tried to win you over. Could it be because you introduced them to each other last night?"

Upon hearing this, Akimoto Yasushi immediately and firmly denied it.

"Definitely not. Although people outside say that Hanyu-san is a playboy, after getting to know him more, I found that he doesn't care about women at all."

"Really?" asked Masuko Takai curiously.

"real……"

When asked this by his fiancée, Akimoto Yasushi became a little uncertain.

His eyes also became thoughtful.

……

Cloud Entertainment Building.

After arriving, Hideki Hanyu walked in and went straight to the office of the group president Hirohashi Asako on the top floor.

Along the way, employees stepped aside and saluted respectfully.

But before he could get there, he ran into Shota Yoshioka, whom he had just met years ago.

Yoshioka Shota came up to him, not at all like the president of a multinational advertising company, and deliberately winked and said, "Hanyu-san, guess where I just came from."

"Where?" Hanyu Hideki asked cooperatively.

Yoshioka Shouta spat out the answer, "Singapore."

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and asked in confusion, "So?"

He couldn't understand why Shota Yoshioka had to emphasize to him separately that he was going to Singapore.

Yoshioka Shouta asked in surprise, "You didn't forget it, did you?"

"Forgot what?"

The person who asked this question was not Hanyu Hideki, but Hirohashi Asako.

While Hanyu Hideki and Yoshioka Shota were talking, they had already walked to the door of Hirohashi Asako's office.

At this time, Hirohashi Asako's office door was not closed, so she heard the last sentence.

Yoshioka Shota immediately explained, "Hanyu-san arranged for someone to study at Storm Advertising's New York branch two years ago, and last year he asked me to transfer that woman to the Singapore headquarters."

At this point, Shota Yoshioka looked at Hanyu Hideki and said, "Hanyu-san, don't tell me that you have nothing to do with that woman."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, his face remained calm.

Even though he had remembered, the woman Shota Yoshioka was talking about was Reiji.

He sat casually on the sofa in Hirohashi Asako's office, crossed his legs, and told the truth without any shame.

"I have indeed forgotten."

Big Thunder and the like, if you play it too much, it will be just like that.

Besides, Lizhi was not a stunning beauty, so it was normal that the scumbag didn’t take her seriously.

If one day they get tired of you, it wouldn't be strange if you give them some benefits to get rid of them.

After Hanyu Hideki told the truth, the two partners in front of him didn't say anything more. After all, they never interfered with Hanyu Hideki's personal feelings.

Hirohashi Asako even asked Yoshioka Shouta, "Yoshioka-san came to see me early this morning, you didn't come to talk to me about Hanyu-san's love gossip, did you?"

Yoshioka Shouta said seriously, "Of course not. The emperor passed away and the self-restraint also ended. We plan to reshoot some of the previously restricted advertisements, and..."

Just like that, Shota Yoshioka stopped mentioning Hanyu Hideki's feelings and started discussing work matters with Hirohashi Asako.

After all, the self-restraint caused by Zhao Hetian Huang's serious illness has had a profound impact on the entertainment industry. Now that it is about to return to normal, the accumulated things naturally have to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Hideki Hanyu listened quietly at the side without interrupting the whole process.

After all, he is not familiar with this part of the business, and making random suggestions will only make things more chaotic.

After Shota Yoshioka finished speaking and said goodbye to him and Hirohashi Asako and left, Hideki Hanyu was just about to tell them the purpose of his visit today.

As a result, Hirohashi Asako's phone rang. After answering the call, Hirohashi Asako said, "Let him in."

After hanging up the phone, Hirohashi Asako rubbed her brows and said to Hanyu Hideki helplessly, "Hanyu-san, please help with some ideas on this matter."

As the voice fell, a man holding a file bag walked in.

Hideki Hanyu knew this man.

The other party is a person in charge of the cloud film distribution department.

The visitor did not expect that the president, Hanyu Hideki, was also there. He carefully greeted Hanyu Hideki and Hirohashi Asako before explaining his purpose of visit.

"President Hirohashi, we must immediately adjust the distribution strategy for these films."
