Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 714 Believe in You, Believe in Myself Even More

Even Isabelle Adjani didn't expect what Sophie Marceau said at the end.

After all, this woman has been with Andre Zulawski for three or four years, and it is well known in the European entertainment industry.

But now, for the sake of Hideki Hanyu, Sophie Marceau did not hesitate to distance herself from Andrzej Zulawski in front of outsiders.

Isabelle Adjani instantly realized that Sophie Marceau's attitude towards Hideki Hanyu was completely different from hers.

Isabelle Adjani treats Hideki Hanyu simply because she wants to cling to him and hopes to gain his wealth and resource support.

As for feelings, she would not easily believe that a powerful man like Hanyu Hideki would really fall in love with an older woman like her who had children.

But the Sophie Marceau in front of him was obviously different.

Isabelle Adjani looked at Sophie Marceau carefully, and then she was surprised to see the burning love in Sophie Marceau's eyes.

It is obvious that Sophie Marceau has fallen in love with Hideki Hanyu.

After realizing this, Isabelle Adjani smiled disdainfully in her heart.

I thought to myself, no wonder Sophie Marceau was deceived by Andrzej Zulawski at such a young age.

This guy is simply a rookie who has age but no emotional experience.

How dare you like Hanyu Hideki.

It’s not that Hideki Hanyu is not worthy of love.

Even in Isabelle Adjani's eyes, Hideki Hanyu is an excellent man in terms of appearance, personality, temperament, ability, wealth, and power.

But it is precisely because Hanyu Hideki is so outstanding that women should stay away from him.

After all, people should know themselves.

Just due to objective conditions, it is impossible for them to be with Hideki Hanyu.

Even though the French media did not report much other news about Hideki Hanyu, Isabelle Adjani learned through her connections in the circle that Hideki Hanyu is definitely a typical playboy.

It is no wonder that even if all the gossips about Hideki Hanyu are not all true, the reason why those women are obsessed with him must be because of his excellence.

They may have given their true love to Hideki Hanyu, just like Sophie Marceau at this moment.

But what about Hideki Hanyu towards those women?
It certainly looks good on the surface, at least Isabelle Adjani feels good when she's with him.

But what is Hideki Hanyu's real thought?

Isabelle Adjani sighed silently, unwilling to think about it.

After all, if she were ten years younger, perhaps her performance would be worse than Sophie Marceau when facing Hideki Hanyu, and her fall would be more complete.

While Isabelle Adjani was daydreaming, Hideki Hanyu had already started chatting with Sophie Marceau.

The French pretty girl was aroused by the scumbag with just a few words, her face turned red, her eyes were full of affection, and she completely fell in love with the love she created.

Finally, when Hideki Hanyu expressed his desire to go to the room to see the gifts, Sophie Marceau agreed without hesitation.

"Excuse me, Miss Isabel."

After a polite goodbye, Hideki Hanyu put his arm around Sophie Marceau's slender waist and turned to walk out of the banquet hall.

When Sophie Marceau left, she did not forget to give Isabelle Adjani a proud look of a winner.

That look immediately made Isabelle Adjani roll her eyes and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "What a stupid woman!"

However, when Hideki Hanyu left, Isabelle Adjani stayed in the banquet hall until the nominations were announced, and ultimately chose to leave.

A young white woman came to her.

The woman handed Isabelle Adjani a hotel room card and said, "My boss wants to see you."

Isabelle Adjani asked, "Who is your boss?"

"Mr. Hanyu."

After the young white woman answered, she did not give any other explanation, but just said, "The boss said you don't have to go if you don't like it."

Then he left.

Isabelle Adjani looked at the room card in her hand with a wandering gaze.

She wanted to convince herself not to be like Sophie Marceau.

Thinking about what Hideki Hanyu, who just left, and Sophie Marceau would do in the room, it would be a wise choice for her to leave now.

After all, she had already gotten the benefits she deserved from the last transaction.

Get out of it in time and never get deeper into it.

But even though Isabelle Adjani thought this in her heart, her steps involuntarily moved towards the elevator leading to the upper floors of the hotel.

A few minutes later, Isabelle Adjani sat in the hotel room where the key card was, ruffling her hair and saying, “What on earth was I thinking?”

Then, before she could feel upset for long, the door of the hotel room was opened.

Hideki Hanyu walked in, dressed in a suit and tie, as if nothing had happened just now.

The scumbag looked at Isabelle Adjani, who was fully dressed, and asked with a dreamy and handsome smile, "I thought you would really want to see me, but it turns out you are not even prepared."

Upon hearing this, Isabelle Adjani instinctively stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

And he was still saying, "I'm going to take a shower now."

As a result, when Isabelle Adjani just walked to the bathroom door, she couldn't help but say to herself, "You are also a stupid woman."

But even though she was scolding herself, the French beauty still took off her armor, went into the bathroom to "cook" herself, and prepared to serve herself as a "delicacy" to Hideki Hanyu to taste.

After a long time.

An event where Hideki Hanyu tastes delicious food ends.

Isabelle Adjani deliberately drew circles on Hanyu Hideki's chest and asked, "What gift did Sophie Marceau give you just now?"

Hideki Hanyu lifted Isabelle Adjani's chin and looked at that mature and charming face.

"The same gift you just let me enjoy."

……

Next, Hideki Hanyu stayed in France for nearly another week.

During this period, in addition to handling some matters related to Ayi International, Dior, LVMH Group, Crescent Cinemas, and other investments, he mainly acted as a light bulb and accompanied Ito Shinsuke and his wife everywhere.

Of course, when Hideki Hanyu strolls around, he is naturally accompanied by beautiful women.

But the beauties are not Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau.

The former was busy with filming a movie and joined the crew the day after the nomination dinner.

Of course, even if there is no work, Hideki Hanyu and Isabelle Adjani are just friendly matches, at least that's how he thinks, so it's impossible for him to take the other person around.

As for the latter, Sophie Marceau doesn't have much work.

But Hideki Hanyu saw that the woman was attracted to him, but he had no such thoughts, so he decided to leave Sophie Marceau alone.

Whether it is playing hard to get or a tactful refusal.

Anyway, he has no idea about Sophie Marceau.

As for the person following Hideki Hanyu, it is actually Christiane Yeri, the scumbag’s favorite in France.

As for why you like it the most?

There is nothing else to it, it’s just beautiful.

Who can blame Hideki Hanyu for being such a face-obsessed person?

If you want to be his woman, the requirements are much stricter than those in the nightclub "Kayanju".

To be honest, no matter how Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau feel about him, the scumbag doesn't care and will just give them the resources he can.

As for what the two people did, he was too lazy to care and didn't care at all.

After all, any woman he cares about would not be allowed to show up in front of the camera.

On the other hand, Christiana Yeri has completely moved behind the scenes under his arrangement, and is now considered a well-known producer in Europe.

And whenever the scumbag comes to Europe, he has to accompany Yeri.

Sometimes we even take each other to all parts of the world.

During this week, Hideki Hanyu took Jerry and Shinsuke Ito and his wife to visit many places in France.

They even bought a winery in the Bordeaux red wine producing region, called 'Pascal'.

In the Bordeaux region, the 'Pascal' winery is not very famous, the level of the winery is not high, and the output is not large, but after seeing the winery, Hideki Hanyu bought it without hesitation.

First of all, the winery produces his favorite sweet white wine with noble rot.

And most importantly, the winery has a great environment.

The winery is shaded by green trees and is quiet and pleasant. A tributary of the Dordogne River flows around it. The house is in a typical European manor style and has undergone some modern modifications.

Hideki Hanyu felt that even if he didn't buy the wine for the sake of wine, it would be a great place to visit on vacation in his spare time.

The time came to January 21st.

Shinsuke Ito has already traveled to America with his wife to attend the Sundance Film Festival.

Hideki Hanyu also lives at the 'Pascal' winery with Christiana Yeri.

Originally, Hanyu Hideki was going to America with Ito Shinsuke. Besides wanting to watch "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" at the Sundance Film Festival, he also wanted to attend the "Detroit Auto Show" at the end of January.

Oh no, the Detroit Auto Show has officially announced this year that it will be renamed the 'North American International Auto Show'.

The reason for participating, of course, is because Lamborghini’s long-held big move, the Lamborghini Gallardo, will be shown to the world for the first time.

From acquiring Lamborghini, to recruiting new talents, expanding new factories, to acquiring brands under the Leyland Group, and the brand that has just been confirmed to be acquired, Maserati.

Hideki Hanyu has spent more than 100 million US dollars on Lamborghini Automobile Group.

In this day and age, this is definitely an astronomical figure.

Now that the time for harvest has finally arrived, how could he not go and witness it in person?

But unfortunately, he was supposed to leave with Ito Shinsuke yesterday, but he received news from the UK at the last minute and had to change his itinerary. He decided to go to the UK tomorrow.

On a huge wine barrel in the winery's wine storage cellar.

Christiana Yerika was sweating profusely and had her arms around Hideki Hanyu who was doing whatever he wanted to her.

Judging from Yeri's state and expression, it is obvious that he is very satisfied with Hanyu Hideki. He is so satisfied that he can't help himself, exhausted, and makes continuous noises.

After a long time, everything was over.

Yeri rolled his eyes at Hanyu Hideki and said, "Why do you have to come here?"

Hanyu Hideki hugged Yeri, "Of course it's because you haven't tried it before. Don't you look very happy?"

Yeri said shyly, "I am happy because dear..."

There were some embarrassing words at the end, but Yeri's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But after being shy, Christiana Yeri couldn't help but ask Hanyu Hideki, "Honey, are you leaving tomorrow morning?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Yes, I will go to the UK to handle some work first, and then go to America. Lamborghini will attend the auto show in Detroit."

"I happen to be out of work recently, can you take me with you?"

Christiana Yeri looked hopeful.

Hanyu Hideki said, "Of course, but you have to promise me one thing first."

"What's the matter?" Christiana Yeri asked curiously.

Hanyu Hideki smiled mischievously and said in a low voice, "There is a barn in the manor. Do you want to go and try it together?"

After hearing what her lover said, Christiana Yeri's already blushing face became even redder.

The beauty did not answer directly, but nodded weakly.

……

The next day, the "Cloud" took off from France and headed straight for the UK.

After the plane landed at Heathrow Airport, Hideki Hanyu did not choose to enter the city of London, but took a car directly to Cambridgeshire.

More than an hour later, Hideki Hanyu, accompanied by Christiana Yeri, arrived at a company with a farmhouse-style decoration.

Acorn Computer Corporation.

ICON Computer.

This company was acquired by Hideki Hanyu for 3.5 million pounds due to financial difficulties at the time, but was then completely forgotten and ignored, and finally came to the end of its life.

The person who called Hideki Hanyu the day before yesterday was one of the two founders of Icon Computer.

They said that Akon Computer's PC business has been suffering from consecutive losses and there is no hope of making any profit.

Although Akon Computer's ARM chip business remains profitable, it is unable to make up for the losses in its PC business.

Therefore, the two founders informed Hope Angel Investment, the largest investor, that Aikon Computer was in operational difficulties.

It’s said to be difficult, but in fact it’s only a breath away from bankruptcy.

After arriving at Ikon Computer, Hideki Hanyu met with the two founders and quickly reached a consensus.

Ikon Computers was taken over by Hope Angel Investment, and the two men received a symbolic compensation of tens of thousands of pounds for the 25% stake they held.

After dealing with these, Hideki Hanyu left to hold a high-level meeting of Akon Computers.

Ignoring these gloomy employees, Hanyu Hideki issued a number of orders in a swift and decisive manner.

He ruthlessly cut off the PC division of Icon Computer.

Soon after, he separated the chip design department.

He also commissioned a headhunting company to poach a senior manager of a partner company of Ikon Computer, who had just left Motorola and was now working for a semiconductor parts company in Europe.

Robin Saxby.

He wants to invite Robin Saxby to be the CEO of an independent chip design company.

Two days later, Hanyu Hideki met Robin Saxby at the headquarters of Icon Computer.

Robin Saxby never expected that the "boss behind the scenes" who invited him to this headhunting event would be the big boss Hideki Hanyu.

Robin Saxby knew Hideki Hanyu not primarily because of his wealth or his status as a writer.

He is because of Elf Entertainment.

After all, the Elf Supply Chain led by Elf Entertainment is now the most coveted in the industry around the world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that at a time when the PC market is depressed, many semiconductor practitioners believe that it is the rise of the video game industry that has saved the entire semiconductor industry.

In the gaming industry, Elf Entertainment is undoubtedly the leader.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Robin Sachs, a semiconductor practitioner, not to know Hideki Hanyu.

Although Hideki Hanyu looked a little too young, Robin Saxby still asked Hanyu Hideki in a flattered tone.

"Mr. Hanyu, I don't know why you invited me to join Ikon Computer."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki raised his finger and shook it.

"It wasn't Ikon Computers that invited you. As of yesterday, Ikon Computers no longer exists."

"Where?" Robin Saxby looked surprised.

“This is the company that invited you.”

Hanyu Hideki said, placing a piece of paper in front of Robin Saxby.

There was only one line of words written on the paper.

"Advanced RISC Machines Ltd"

The literal translation is Advanced RISC Processor Co., Ltd.

But in fact, this is the name of the computer processor developed by the former Ikon computer chip department.
And below this line, there is a minimalist LOGO logo.

(LOGO·Picture)
That’s right, many years after Hideki Hanyu bought Icon Computer, he finally established the famous ‘ARM’ company.

After all, from the very beginning, he had no interest in Akon Computer's PC business.

To put it bluntly, he took advantage of Ikon Computer just for the ARM chip.

Originally, he thought that Icon Computer would be like in another time and space and would last for two more years before going bankrupt.

Who would have thought that after he invested in Ikon Computer, his indifferent attitude made Ikon Computer die faster.

At this time, Robin Saxby asked curiously again.

"Mr. Hanyu, may I ask why you invited me to join Ikon... No, ARM."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki really wanted to ask what other reasons he needed to invite you.

In another time and space, it was under the leadership of Robin Saxby that ARM grew from an ordinary small workshop to one of the world's chip leaders.

The ARM architecture in its previous life had a monopoly on the chip market, which made Masayoshi Son spend tens of billions of pounds to acquire it.

So Hideki Hanyu has been paying close attention to Robin Saxby since he invested in Icon Computer.

For example, the other party left Motorola's CPU department and joined the current accessories company.

Hideki Hanyu knows all the information clearly.

This is also the reason why he was able to invite Robin Saxby at the same time as he reorganized Ikon Computer into ARM.

But of course he couldn't say these words to Robin Saxby.

Therefore, he simply said, "I have read your resume. You have worked in the CPU department of Motorola and are familiar with the semiconductor industry.

After ARM is separated from Ikon Computer, it will focus on the development and operation of chips. I think you are a perfect fit.”

"I'm still very surprised," Robin Saxby said bluntly.

Hanyu Hideki said, "There's nothing surprising about this. The opportunity to lead a potential company to grow and develop doesn't always come along."

Robin Saxby couldn't help asking, "Why do you think ARM will succeed?"

Then, Robin Saxby heard Hideki Hanyu’s confident words.

"I trust you.

Believe in yourself more.”
