Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 776: Matsushita who only wants to be in the spotlight
August 27th, morning.

Hideki Hanyu finally ended his trip in Sendai.

The "Elf" bound for Tokyo, in addition to its owner Hideki Hanyu, also carried Yui Hanyu, who was about to return to school, and Hidetoshi Hanyu, who continued to gain experience in Tochigi Prefecture.

As for Yumi Watanabe, who had been accompanying Hanyu Hidetoshi, she was left in Sendai City to be taken care of because of her pregnancy.

Oh, by the way, Furutani Yoshiko, who has been accompanying Hanyu Hideki these days, also returned to Tokyo with him this time.

In order to facilitate Hidetoshi Hanyu's trip to Tochigi Prefecture in the northern Kanto region, the Spirit did not land at Haneda International Airport but at Narita Airport.

Outside Narita Airport.

After Hideki Hanyu and everyone else came out, he first sent Hidetoshi Hanyu, who was going to Tochigi Prefecture, to the car.

Then he came to a red Lamborghini Gallardo and gave instructions to his sister Yui Hanyu who was already sitting in the driver's seat.

"You just got your driver's license, so drive carefully, and it doesn't matter if you drive slowly. Otherwise, if there's even a small problem, the old-fashioned guy won't let me give you a car as a gift in the future."

The Lamborghini Gallardo in front of you is the birthday gift that Hideki Hanyu gave to his sister Yui Hanyu this year.

And this was just one of them. In order to make it easier for his sister to study at the University of Tokyo, he also gave her a house in Bunkyo Ward, not far from Yorozuya.

However, compared to the new house, Yui Hanyu actually prefers living in Yorozuya.

Since Hanyu Hideki has been traveling abroad frequently in the past two years, his sister Hanyu Yui has stayed in the Yorozuya more than her master since she came to Tokyo to study.

“Don’t worry, Onii-chan. I will drive carefully.” Yui Hanyu said, looking at the passenger seat. “Besides, Anna is with me, so there will be no problem.”

Sitting in the passenger seat was a young woman with mixed-race features and dark skin. She was the Anna mentioned by Yui Hanyu.

Anna looks to be less than 30 years old. She has a capable temperament, a strong body, and a firm gaze. It is obvious at first glance that she is not an ordinary person.

And Anna is the bodyguard that Marco specially arranged for Yui Hanyu.

According to the information, Anna was born in the Philippines. She joined the local family's armed forces at a very young age and received professional training.

But because her family fell from power, Anna had to flee with her family, and by chance she joined the Wanquan Security Company.

Later, during the internal investigation and selection of "Wanquan", Anna stood out and became Yui Hanyu's personal bodyguard.

As a result, Anna's family was brought to Japan to settle down, and they no longer had to hide and wander around with her.

Hanyu Hideki glanced at Anna, and then said to Hanyu Yui, "Then go ahead. If you have anything at school, contact me. If I'm not in Neon, contact Uemura Reiko."

"I remember that. How come Onii-chan has become as nagging as her mother?"

While speaking, Yui Hanyu couldn't help but step on the accelerator of the "Maverick", making the engine emit a low roar, and she looked like she couldn't wait to drive away in the new car.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki knocked his sister on the head in annoyance and said, "Stinky girl!"

“Hehe…” Yui Hanyu responded with a silly smile.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't do anything with this sister, so he could only pretend to be impatient and waved his hands, "Let's go."

Yui Hanyu, who was finally allowed to leave, said excitedly, "Bye!", then stepped on the accelerator and drove the Lamborghini away from in front of Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu smiled and shook his head helplessly.

As a result, he turned around and saw Furuya Xiangyang, who followed him back to Tokyo, looking at the red supercar going away with envy.

After noticing Hanyu Hideki's gaze, Furuya Yoshiko couldn't help but whispered, "Ms. Hanyu is so lucky to have such an enviable brother like Hanyu-san."

Hanyu Hideki answered without any modesty, "I think so too."

After that, he said without further ado, "Let's go, I'll take you home first."

He walked straight towards the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit parked on the side of the road.

Gu Gu Xiangxiang followed behind obediently and sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit together.

There was no conversation along the way, and soon the car arrived at Furuya Yoshiko's residence in Tokyo, in front of a low-rent apartment in Arakawa district.

Arakawa Ward is considered to be an area with relatively cheap rent among the 23 wards of Tokyo in this era.

It is adjacent to Adachi Ward in the north and Taito Ward in the south. It is the most common place for young people who have just arrived in Tokyo to work hard to live.

We were almost at the destination that Gu Gu Xiangxiang had mentioned.

Hanyu Hideki had no intention of seeing the other person off the car. He simply took a file bag from the passenger seat and handed it to Furuya Yoshiko.

“This is the reward you deserve, enough to allow you to pursue your dance dream without having to work or take a part-time job.

Of course, I will not take back my assessment of your average talent, but if you only treat dancing as a hobby, you don’t need to care about my assessment.”

Furuya Xiangxiang held the file bag and said with a strange expression, "Is this how you comfort a girl, Hanyu-san?"

Hanyu Hideki asked in confusion, "Why do you think I'm comforting you? I'm just telling the truth."

"Hanyu-san is really special, no wonder..."

Furuya Xiangxiang originally wanted to say that it was no wonder that girls liked him so much, but halfway through he felt that this was inappropriate and stopped talking.

But at this moment, she looked at the unreal handsome face in front of her, felt his gentle and elegant temperament that made women intoxicated, and recalled the strength that he made her feel these days.

Even though she knew that the gap between an ordinary girl like her and Hanyu Hideki was too big, there would be no possibility of any result.

But the uncontrollable throbbing in her heart still made her ask the last question, "Can I still contact you?"

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and replied with a smile that made the girl dazed.

"of course can."

But in his heart, Hideki Hanyu was thinking...

You can contact him, but there is no guarantee that you can contact him.

However, for Gu Gu Xiangxiang, just the superficial perfunctory attitude made her very happy.

After all, the girl may also understand that what she wants is not an answer at all, but an unattainable hope that can comfort herself.

The satisfied girl got out of the car and waited until the black car was far away before she opened the document bag in her hand.

There were several things inside, but what caught her attention first was not the bank card representing money, but a contract.

It was the contract she signed with her original agency, but it had been terminated.

……

"Boss, are we going back to the Yorozuya now?" asked Marco who was driving.

Hanyu Hideki looked up at his watch and then ordered directly, "It's only ten o'clock in the morning. Go to Yunshang Entertainment. I have something to discuss with Asako-san."

"Ok."

As Marco responded, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit headed straight for the port area.

Around eleven o'clock, Hideki Hanyu pushed open the door of Hirohashi Asako's office.

The first thing Hirohashi Asako said was, "Do you need me to cooperate with Hanyu-san to start doing anything?"

Hanyu Hideki responded with something irrelevant, "I plan to go to Hawaii for vacation in September."

Guangqiao Qianzi said helplessly, "It seems that I am more anxious than you."

"If being anxious is useful, I would be anxious every day."

Hanyu Hideki said this while sitting on the sofa beside him, and then he started talking to himself as if he was really thinking about vacation matters.

“In fact, I originally wanted to visit the British Virgin Islands, and in order to set up an investment company there, I even bought a holiday home with a private beach.

Although the Virgin Islands are close to the United States, they are too far from Japan, so it is not convenient for me to carry out work in both places at the same time. On the contrary, Hawaii is much better. "

When Hanyu Hideki said this, Hirohashi Asako understood that Hanyu Hideki was not going to Hawaii for vacation at all.

Hirohashi Asako continued to ask, "I heard that our situation in Hollywood is not very good."

"Not very good?? Asako-san, listen to what you are saying?"

Hanyu Hideki made an exaggerated expression and said, "Cloud Pictures released several movies during the summer season, and When Harry Met Sally grossed over 100 million yuan in North America.

The box office of Need for Speed ​​is now approaching 80 million, and the media predicts that the final box office will be 110 million.

Although the recently released Sex Lies and Videotape did averagely at the box office, it did win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. It cost $1.2 million to produce and sold over $40 million in overseas distribution alone.

In terms of box office performance alone, we are already the number one independent production company in Hollywood.

The Japanese media praised us for our unprecedented success in America and said we are one of the greatest entertainment companies in Japan.

Asako-san is even known as the queen of entertainment media in Japan. Aren't you satisfied with this?"

Hirohashi Asako held her forehead helplessly, "Hanyu-san, you know that's not what I'm talking about. I have raised more than 3 billion US dollars for your plan.

Even if this money is just left unused, it is a huge burden for us, but our negotiations with MCA Global do not seem to have made any breakthrough progress.”

Hanyu Hideki said, "So this is what Asako-san is talking about. Asako-san just needs to follow my request and keep the source of funds confidential. I will take care of the rest."

"What is the situation of MCA Global?" Hirohashi Asako couldn't help but ask.

“There really hasn’t been much progress.”

Hanyu Hideki first nodded in acknowledgment, and then began to explain in detail.

"This matter is my fault, because I was too wishful thinking.

My original plan was to compete with Panasonic in the acquisition of MCA Universal. If the competition was too fierce, I would use the competition to encourage cooperation with Panasonic and jointly acquire MCA Universal.

This is also the reason why I asked Cloud Pictures to cooperate with Sony before.

I thought that the excellent box office performance of the Hollywood films produced by Cloud Pictures and then distributed by Sony would be an important factor prompting Panasonic to join forces with us.

But who could have imagined that Panasonic's management team didn't understand the film and television entertainment industry at all, and acquired MCA Universal just to compete with Sony for attention and to stand out for themselves.

They only wanted to complete the acquisition independently and had no intention of cooperating with others, especially partners like us who could potentially become the hosts.

So the better our results were, the more they resisted us." Facing Hirohashi Asako, Hanyu Hideki confessed without hiding anything about what went wrong with his original plan.

He had never anticipated that Panasonic would behave like a young man who had no idea about the film and television industry and only wanted to be in the spotlight.

According to the time point in the previous life, although the transaction of Panasonic's acquisition of MCA was not announced to the public until 1990, it was actually finalized this year.

Although this time and space will inevitably be delayed due to competition from cloud entertainment.

But even so, Hideki Hanyu felt that it would not be delayed too long, so he asked Hirohashi Asako to prepare the funds so early.

But now it seems that Panasonic's tough attitude of not intending to cooperate at all will probably make the delay even longer, and directly turn the funds that could have been used into a burden for Cloud Entertainment.

However, although this result surprised Hideki Hanyu, it did not make him panic or at a loss.

Since Panasonic is not going to cooperate, he wants to be the one to stand out.

Then he might as well change his plan and stick with him to the end!

Yunshang Entertainment no longer considers a merger and will just acquire it independently!
Isn’t it just competition and dragging on forever?
The funding of Cloud Entertainment is a burden, but is it not the case that the funding of Panasonic is not?

Joint acquisition?

What the hell is unity!

If we have to delay it, we might as well delay it until the end of the year, until Yasushi Mieno takes office, until the bubble economy collapses completely.

At that time, Hanyu Hideki didn't believe that Panasonic could have a thicker health bar than him even though he had prepared for several years in advance.

And if the plan changes like this, the funds raised by Yunshang Entertainment can actually help him implement his other plans.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki immediately lowered his voice and said to Hirohashi Asako.

"I need Asako-san to change the content of the original fundraising information released to the public."

"How to change?" asked Hirohashi Asako.

"Try to get the media to link the source of these funds to me, and create the illusion that I have drawn a large amount of working capital to provide these funds."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Hirohashi Asako seemed to understand something and said meaningfully, "Hanyu-san, which unlucky guy are you trying to mislead? Do you need my help?"

"Haha, it's not just one person that's misleading, it's a whole group of people." Hanyu Hideki waved his hand, "But this matter has nothing to do with Yunshang Entertainment, so I don't need Asako-san's help."

After that, he immediately added, "There is one more thing. Since Panasonic does not want to cooperate, Yunshang Entertainment needs to find a new partner."

Hirohashi Asako tried to ask, "Hanyu-san's Elf Entertainment?"

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Asakako-san really knows me well. Universal Studios under MCA Universal is very suitable for the promotion model of Elf Entertainment."

Hirohashi Asako asked in confusion, "Isn't Hanyu-san in Kanagawa, working with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi on the Spirit Park?"

Hanyu Hideki said, “What if I say that the project can’t be done?”

"How is that possible?" Guangqiao Qianzi obviously didn't believe it.

"It won't be long before Asako-san finds out."

Hideki Hanyu smiled mysteriously without further explanation.

Hirohashi Asako rolled her eyes at Hanyu Hideki and said, "When did Hanyu-san become so secretive? It's really hard to figure out."

"Women should not easily think about men. This is not a good habit."

Hideki Hanyu made a joke and then talked about other things.

"For the next period of time, until the end of the year, I have some important plans, and I need Asako-san to cooperate with me in the media."

Seeing Hanyu Hideki being so serious, Hirohashi Asako also responded in a serious tone, "Hanyu-san, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

Hanyu Hideki said, "I will contact Asako-san as soon as I need to do anything."

Hirohashi Asako said, "Then I will wait for news from Hanyu-san."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Thank you in advance, Asako-san."

"We are friends and partners. We are in the same boat and share weal and woe, so there is no need to say such polite words."

Hirohashi Asako looked at Hanyu Hideki with a friendly smile on her face.

"Haha, Qianzi-san is right. I was too polite."

After saying this, Hideki Hanyu stood up and said goodbye to Asako Hirohashi.

"I have said all that needs to be said. I have to go to Europe next and I must hurry to finish the work in Tokyo, so I will take my leave now."

"Going to Europe?" Hirohashi Asako asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to Hawaii for vacation?"

"I have to go to Europe first to deal with the matter."

The thing that Hideki Hanyu said he had to do was Monica Bellucci's due date, which was this week.

Although his desire for the "ball flower" is greater than his feelings, it is impossible for him to ignore it when the other party is giving birth.

Hirohashi Asako did not ask any further questions, and Hanyu Hideki just said goodbye and left.

When he took the elevator to the parking lot and was about to get in the car to leave, he saw a familiar slim figure not far away walking towards a red Toyota AE86, seemingly planning to leave as well.

Hanyu Hideki walked over in two or three steps and said deliberately to the figure, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"

The moment he finished speaking, the slender figure who was walking towards the car suddenly turned around, and then rushed over with surprise and threw herself into Hanyu Hideki's arms.

"Hanyu-kun!"

Who else could it be but Akina Nakamori to use this name of love and this infatuated attitude?

Hanyu Hideki gently stroked Xiaopangcai's hair, "I didn't expect to see Akina right after returning to Tokyo."

Akina Nakamori looked up and asked, "Hanyu-kun, are you here to see President Hirohashi?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "Yes, I came to talk to Asako-san about something important. What is Akina here for?"

Akina Nakamori replied, "I came to see President Katsuhito Matsushita of Cloud Music to discuss the production and promotion of the new album 'Wonder3' of Dreams Come True."

Hanyu Hideki looked up and down Akina Nakamori and deliberately teased, "Akina is really becoming more and more like a female president."

"Really? I now feel that being a president seems to be more interesting and more fulfilling than being an artist."

Akina Nakamori opened her bright eyes and spoke excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki really wanted to talk about Akina Nakamori's current situation. It would be strange if she didn't have these feelings.

He helped discover the band What Dreams Come True, which is worthy of being ranked among the top five in the history of neon rock music.

Compared to those pitiful ordinary artists who sell a few thousand copies of an album but can never make it into the Oricon charts no matter how much they are promoted.

The sales of the official debut album of "A Dream Comes True" exceeded one million, which is something that those failed singers would never dare to imagine.

Moreover, Akina Nakamori's agency is cooperating with Yunshang Records, with the support of Yunshang Entertainment, and Hideki Hanyu behind the scenes to protect her.

So even though Akina Nakamori is just the president of a small agency, everyone has to be polite to her when discussing cooperation, and she never has any messy social engagements.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that Akina Nakamori's job as president is interesting, easy, and fulfilling.

However, Akina Nakamori, who has been in the Japanese entertainment industry for many years, is not a newbie even though she is the president for the first time.

Even if she doesn't understand, there is the miserable Koizumi Kyoko by her side for comparison.

So Xiaopangcai is also very clear why she has everything she has now.

Haw!

Akina Nakamori stood on tiptoe and pecked Hideki Hanyu on the lips.

Then, she hugged Hanyu Hideki with a happy face and said, "Of course I know that the reason why my agency is so successful is because of Hanyu-kun's help."

Hanyu Hideki followed up by asking, "So, Akina, have you figured out how to repay me?"

Akina Nakamori looked at Hanyu Hideki and said affectionately, "Even I belong to Hanyu-kun. Isn't this the best way to repay him?"

Hideki Hanyu was not fooled by Akina Nakamori's magic potion. He raised his hand and tapped Akina Nakamori on the forehead and said.

"Don't say these coaxing words, I want to hear something practical."

"it hurts!"

Akina Nakamori rubbed her forehead and said pitifully, "I can do whatever Hanyu-kun wants me to do. I dare not refuse anyway."

"Come on this."

Hanyu Hideki completely ignored the pitiful Xiaopangcai and said directly, "I plan to go to Hawaii for vacation next month, you should come with me."

"Vacation? I want to go too, but dreams come true..."

Obviously, the president is addicted to his cooking and is somewhat reluctant to leave his post.

“Your firm employs so many people, it’s time to let them contribute.

Besides, with Cloud Music’s people in charge, how could anything go wrong?

There is another very important point. I tried my best to let you retire so that you can live an easy life, not to move you to another place and let you continue to work hard.

Combine work and rest, understand?"

"Okay, then I'll go on vacation to Hawaii with Hanyu-kun."

Akina Nakamori sounded delighted and was obviously looking forward to accompanying Hideki Hanyu on vacation.

Hanyu Hideki said, “Then hurry up and hand over your work, and then wait for my notice to meet you in Hawaii.

But at this moment, please accompany me to have lunch."
