Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 778: Is Hideki Hanyu going bankrupt?
"difficulty?"

Hideki Hanyu was confused by what Akina Nakamori said.

How could he not know that Yunshang Entertainment was in trouble?

Today, Yunshang Entertainment has basically developed to the point where it is too big to fail in Japan's entertainment and media field.

After all, cloud entertainment, which has been completely platformized, has been completely embedded in Japan's cultural, entertainment and media industries, unless Japan undergoes a radical change.

Otherwise, even shocks such as the bursting of the bubble will not have a fundamental impact on Yunshang Entertainment.

If we have to say what difficulties we have encountered, then the seemingly disadvantaged situation in the competition against MCA Universal and Panasonic in Hollywood should be the only "difficulty" recently.

However, this current state is also intentional by Hideki Hanyu.

Otherwise, whether it is too much pressure or too much weakness, it will be difficult to continue dragging it out with Panasonic. After all, although the collapse of the Japanese bubble economy is imminent, we still have to wait another three months.

But the problem is that although Yunshang Entertainment and Panasonic were competing fiercely for the acquisition of MCA Universal, they both maintained a tacit understanding and did not announce any news to the public.

So in this case, how did Akina Nakamori know?

Facing Hideki Hanyu's suspicious eyes.

Akina Nakamori seemed to be unaware of anything and asked with concern, "Some media reported that President Hirohashi raised a huge amount of funds, presumably to help Yunshang Entertainment cope with the crisis."

Uh--

After hearing what Akina Nakamori said, Hideki Hanyu found that he had once again understood the true meaning of a sentence in reality.

“What ordinary people hear and see is what others want you to know.”

The so-called revelations from Akina Nakamori were actually information deliberately released by Hirohashi Asako.

We are also following Hideki Hanyu's instructions and completing the established arrangements step by step.

The news that Yunshang Entertainment was raising funds, presumably to deal with the crisis, was the first step of the plan.

Next, of course, we need to let the bullet fly for a while.

Deliberate guidance and covert control made the media and the public guess what exactly happened in Yunshang Entertainment.

If Panasonic remains tight-lipped and maintains a tacit understanding with Yunshang Entertainment, the media will begin to guide public opinion and link the source of funds to Hideki Hanyu.

Then gradually release the news to keep the outside world guessing.

As for what the next steps will be, it depends on how the situation changes.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki touched Akina Nakamori's hair and said, "Don't worry, Yunshang Entertainment is fine. The funds will be used for other purposes. You will know later."

After saying that, he turned to look at the little goblin who was holding his other arm, reached out and scratched the other's nose and said.

"Why is Kyoko here too?"

The little fairy pretended to be sad and rubbed against Hanyu Hideki, and asked in a delicate tone, "Does the teacher not want to see me? This really makes me sad. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come."

Hanyu Hideki said playfully, "Really? Then I can arrange a plane to take you back right now."

Seeing that it was useless to speak sarcastically, the little goblin immediately started to act coquettishly.

"Aiya~~ I just want to be with the teacher, please don't chase me away, okay?

Besides, Akina is here to accompany the teacher on vacation, so of course I have to come too. After all, the teacher is so powerful, Akina definitely can't handle it alone, I..."

Seeing that the little fairy was talking more and more outrageous in the airport environment, Hanyu Hideki quickly interrupted, "So you don't care about your work in the Tokyo office? Suho-san actually agreed to let you come to Hawaii for vacation."

"Teacher, please don't mention the work at the agency anymore. The idols we signed previously are becoming less and less popular, and their records are not selling at all.

Now, if I'm not with them, they won't even have the chance to be on the show, but I also need to rest, and I can't always be with them.

Having said that, the little goblin looked at Akina Nakamori next to her with envy and spoke in an inexplicably sour tone.

"Akina's band is so popular and she still has time to go on vacation, so isn't it normal for me to have time to go on vacation?"

Seeing the little fairy's envious and jealous look, Hanyu Hideki smiled helplessly.

It was indeed difficult for Little Fairy to succeed when she plunged into the idol market at the end of the idol entertainment era in the 1980s.

What’s more, it is in the female idol group market.

Nowadays, even the popularity of Yuanqi Girls in the Japanese entertainment industry is not as high as before, and it would be an exaggeration to say that their record sales have been halved compared to their peak period.

Throughout the late 1980s, the only idol group that could be considered popular was "Wink", which was nicknamed the "Facial Paralysis Group" and attracted attention with its gorgeous costumes and stage performances.

Because their new single "Turn It Into Love" was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV's new drama in May, and with the linkage with the TV series, it achieved a good sales record of 650,000 copies.

The most recent single "Drenching Tropical Fish", which was later covered by Little Tigers as "Date with the Stars", is considered the peak of this group.

Under such circumstances, Kyoko Koizumi still plunged into the female idol industry which was about to enter a cold winter period. What's more, she was in a group, so it would be difficult for her not to fail.

Of course, there is the Burning Department with the support of Ikuo Suho, and there is also the Yunshang Department who helps out of Hideki Hanyu's face.

In addition, those signed by Little Fairy were all the most popular female graduates of "Produce a Star".

So don’t be fooled by the pitiful words of the little goblin, but if you really count it, her firm actually makes quite a bit of money.

The Dream Come True band from Akina Nakamori's office is very popular, but there is only one of them.

But in Xiao Yaojing's agency, all the female idols add up to more than twenty people, so if the quality is not enough, they can make up for it by quantity.

At this time, the little fairy answered another question from Hideki Hanyu.

"As for President Suho, I just told him that I wanted to accompany you, and he let me go. He also asked Mr. Arimura to help me keep an eye on the office."

Hanyu Hideki was speechless and said, "You are good at using my name to bully others."

"Hehe, who made the teacher so awesome?"

The little fairy seems to be coquettish and cute on the surface, and heartless, but she is actually a very smart girl with high emotional intelligence.

Just in terms of taking advantage of Hideki Hanyu to indirectly create benefits for himself, he is very wise.

For example, the little fairy can now realize that Hanyu Hideki's strength has grown to the point where he can use his reputation to help her ask for leave from Suho Ikuo.

"You are really a clever little ghost." Hanyu Hideki tapped the little goblin on the head.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu could guess the little goblin's little thoughts.

He also admitted that the little goblin did grasp his strength and his psychological bottom line.

Suoh Ikuo, the dark boss of the Japanese entertainment industry, is indeed no longer taken seriously considering his current strength.

To put it bluntly, Ikuo Suho has some connections in both the black and white worlds.

If we say that at the beginning of his business, Hideki Hanyu was quite afraid of this person.

At this moment, the supporters that the other party relies on are only at the same level as those he supports.

To put it simply, the big boss who supported Suho Ikuo behind the scenes was just a "little brother" at the wedding of Hanyu Hideki's brother. Even Suho Ikuo himself, who participated in the Saito Group, was just relying on Hanyu Hideki to make a living.

Therefore, the little devil should not even think about asking for leave from Suho Ikuo. Even if the contract expires, he will directly talk to Suho Ikuo about termination and the other party will agree without hesitation.

Seeing the little devil pulling him around outside the airport pick-up gate in public, Hideki Hanyu didn't want to waste time here.

Besides, there are many Japanese in Hawaii. If someone takes a photo and sends it back to Japan, he will have to waste energy and resources to suppress the news.

So he decisively greeted the two girls, "Okay, hurry up and get in the car with me. Baishawan Manor has prepared a welcoming banquet for you."

……

With Akina Nakamori arriving in Hawaii and unexpectedly bringing Kyoko Koizumi with her, Hideki Hanyu's life in White Sand Bay Manor became happier.

Of course, the two beauties only brought him some spice in his life.

What he was really concerned about was the news coming from both sides of the Pacific.

On the Neon side, Akina Nakamori and the Little Fairy arrived in Hawaii on September 15th, but in fact, Hirohashi Asako had already released the news that Yunshang Entertainment was raising funds two days ago.

While Akina Nakamori and the little fairy accompanied Hideki Hanyu in Hawaii for a week, when the time came to September 23rd.

Due to Guangqiao Qianzi's deliberate guidance, rumors that Yunshang Entertainment was in trouble were flying around the industry and outside the industry.

Some people say that Yunshang Entertainment’s Asian strategy went wrong and its profits were not as ideal as expected, which resulted in the inability to quickly recover its investment and poor capital turnover, and it urgently needed a large amount of funds to fill the hole.

Some people also say that Yunshang Entertainment lost control of Crescent Cinemas because it held too few shares in Crescent Cinemas, and wants to invest a large amount of money to regain the board rights.

Some even said that Yunshang Entertainment had problems with its investments in other areas.

In short, rumors were everywhere and people were talking about it. Even the employees of Yunshang Entertainment who were unaware of the situation began to make wild guesses and became panic-stricken.

As time passed, under the deliberate guidance of Hirohashi Asako, fundraising began to be linked to Hanyu Hideki.

Among the many rumors, it began to emerge that Hideki Hanyu actually had problems with his own investments, so he raised funds through Yunshang Entertainment.

In short, there are all kinds of opinions, but none of them have any basis in evidence.

After all, although Hideki Hanyu's investments are extensive, many of them are not made public, so it is not easy for everyone to find out anything in a short period of time.

But even so, when public opinion began to involve Hideki Hanyu, everyone couldn't help but look forward to and eagerly wait to watch the fun.

After all, the only news that is more attractive than the grassroots commoner Hideki Hanyu becoming a super rich man from scratch is the news that Hideki Hanyu fell from a high place.

Watching people get rich is not as exciting as watching people go bankrupt, right?
In this rhythm, another week passed. When the date came to the end of the month, September 30th, a media suddenly broke a bombshell news.

That is, a real estate agency revealed that the headquarters building of Yunshang Entertainment in Minato Ward and the headquarters building of Elf Entertainment in Shinagawa Ward are looking for buyers.

According to information, the owner of these two headquarters buildings is Hideki Hanyu.

If the previous rumors about Hideki Hanyu's investment having problems were just groundless rumors.

When the news came out that Hideki Hanyu was going to sell the headquarters building of Yunshang Entertainment and Elf Entertainment, it almost confirmed from the side that there was indeed a problem with Hideki Hanyu's investment.

After all, if there were no problems, which large enterprise would easily sell its headquarters?

For a while, Hideki Hanyu was overseas.

However, exaggerated statements about his failed investments and even impending bankruptcy, as well as various conspiracy-like speculations, were widely circulated in Japan.

In this situation, people who know Hanyu Hideki, have relationships with Hanyu Hideki, and the media who want to get first-hand information are all trying to contact Hanyu Hideki.

As a result, Hideki Hanyu was on vacation in Hawaii, but he had to explain to many phone calls from Japan.

At this moment, Hanyu Hideki was extremely grateful that he had the foresight to leave Japan early, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble he would have suffered.

What made him most helpless and surprised was that these were just some groundless rumors, but they actually caused such a big response and even made many people who knew him believe them to be true.

It would be fine to say that he failed in his investment, but to say that he is about to go bankrupt is a joke.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the listed companies he owns, Northeast Energy, AIYI International, Crescent Cinema Line, Damu Logistics…

Which stock price hasn’t been skyrocketing recently?

With all these stocks, he would never be able to spend them all in his lifetime.

All I can say is that he underestimated his influence in Japan.

He also underestimated everyone's "dark" mentality of wanting to see him fall and wanting to eat his melons.

……

In Baisha Bay Manor, under the pergola of a water holiday home, Hideki Hanyu had just hung up the phone with a guy with whom he had a cooperative relationship.

I couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, do these guys really want to see me get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Akina Nakamori next to him immediately asked with concern, "Is Hanyu really okay?"

The little fairy followed suit and said, "I heard about the news about you in Hawaii. They said you are going to go bankrupt."

Facing the two, Hanyu Hideki spread his hands helplessly, "Do you two think I'm going to go bankrupt?"

The goblin said seriously, "Many people who are about to go bankrupt cannot be seen on the surface."

"You crow mouth!"

Hideki Hanyu hit the little goblin on the head in annoyance.

But then he leaned back in his chair and relaxed.

"This is just an appetizer. There's no need to make a fuss about this little bit of news. The real thing is just the beginning."

"What to start?" Akina Nakamori looked curious.

The little fairy followed impatiently, "That's right, that's right, teacher, please tell us quickly, what will happen next."

"Want to know?" asked Hanyu Hideki.

The two girls nodded repeatedly.

But Hanyu Hideki smiled evilly and said, "If you want me to say it, it depends on your sincerity."

"Teacher, what a jerk! He let Akina and I rest until the early hours of the morning last night, and now he wants us to..."

The little goblin said this with reluctance.

But he stood up honestly and took the initiative to sit on Hanyu Hideki's lap.

By the way, he pulled up Akina Nakamori with one hand and stuffed her into the scumbag's arms.

It seems that the two of them are willing to use torture to force Hideki Hanyu to tell the secret today.
