Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 406 I love you more than anyone else in the world

Los Angeles International Airport.

The beauty came in person and reluctantly put Hideki Hanyu on the plane.

"Take good care of your children. I will come back to see you after I finish my business in Asia."

As he said goodbye, Hideki Hanyu led his entourage into the VIP channel.

Finally boarded the 'Elf' waiting for him.

Although the purpose of this trip back to Asia was to attend the 'Yun·Shang Charity Dinner'.

But the destination of the 'Elf' is neon.

Because before heading to Xiangjiang, Neon still had things to deal with.

There are private matters and there are official matters.

……

In Setagaya District, in the newly built studio of Yunshang Entertainment, "Akina Express" is recording.

Originally, Yunshang Entertainment had to use the studio of the broadcaster TBS to record this program due to lack of filming locations.

However, after Asako Hirohashi built two professional studio bases in Sugami Ward and Setagaya Ward based on Hanyu Hideki's suggestion, the program began to be recorded in his own studio.

At this time, the host Akina Nakamori, who had finished recording the news bulletin part of the program, was interviewing the guests of this issue.

Senior idol Nahoko Kawai is launching the preliminary promotion for her original new album "Scarlet".

Although the sales volume of this album was not high in its original history.

But one of the songs is quite famous, and that is "Midnight Serenade" which has been covered by many singers in Hong Kong.

In order to promote it, a certain big star in later generations concocted many scandals with Nahoko Kawai based on this song.

But in fact, Nahoko Kawai performed this song in a public performance in 1985, but the name at that time was still called "Serenade".

But those false scandals actually say that the two collaborated in 88, and Nahoko Kawai composed this song out of sadness.

There is no need to verify whether it is true or false.

Although in terms of popularity, Akina Nakamori, who is now the 'Diva', is much better than Nahoko Kawai.

But the relationship between the two in the circle is pretty good, and Nakamori Akina also respects this senior.

Therefore, the short program was recorded, and the two of them had a great conversation, and it went very smoothly.

Finally, when the program supervisor determined that there were no problems, the program was officially recorded.

As usual, Akina Nakamori thanked all the staff and said something like everyone's hard work.

Whether it is the employees of TBS TV station.

He is still one of Yunying Animation’s own people.

Facing the number one diva in the neon entertainment industry today, they all show great respect.

Especially for the program they recorded at this time, as Akina Nakamori's popularity rose, the ratings soared, and it is now one of TBS's flagship programs.

Everyone is counting on Akina Nakamori for food, how could they not respect that.

After thanking her, Akina Nakamori returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup.

But for some reason, she looked at her watch with a strange expression.

Unconsciously, I started to feel dazed and started thinking about some random things in my mind.

"Akina-chan! Akina-chan!"

Vaguely, Nakamori Akina heard someone calling her.

Suddenly coming out of her daze, she saw that the person calling her was Nahoko Kawai.

He immediately replied, "Senior Kawai, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you just now."

"Akina-chan has finished taking off her makeup, why are you still sitting here in a daze? Are you okay?" Kawai Nahoko asked in a friendly manner.

"It's okay, maybe I haven't rested recently." Akina Nakamori answered casually.

"Didn't you get a good rest? Why do I feel like Akina-chan has gained a little weight compared to the last time we met, and her complexion looks very good."

Kawai Nahoko looked Nakamori Akina up and down.

Nakamori Akina explained, "Really? I didn't even notice."

In fact, she has indeed gained weight recently.

Mainly because I worked hard for so long some time ago, but it didn't work at all.

She secretly ran to find someone else for consultation.

As a result, experienced people told her that if a girl is too thin, she may not be able to get pregnant easily.

Then Akina Nakamori has been deliberately eating a little fat recently.

Of course, only a little bit.

After all, as a public figure, she still has to take into account her photogenic image.

Thinking of this, she asked Nahoko Kawai, "Senior, is there anything wrong with you coming to see me?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, if Akina-chan doesn't have a job next, would you like to have dinner together?"

When Nakamori Akina heard this, she couldn't help but glance at her watch, her expression darkened inexplicably.

When she was in a bad mood, she politely refused to Nahoko Kawai, "I have something to do when I go back tonight, let's meet up another day."

"Okay, but..."

Despite being rejected, Kawai Nahoko did not feel any displeasure. Instead, she held Akina Nakamori for a while and then left.

Akina Nakamori packed her things and left the dressing room.

Only then did she realize that maybe she had stayed in the dressing room for too long.

The studio was dark and everyone seemed to have left.

And just when she was about to leave.

Suddenly, the lights came on.

boom--

Streamers sprayed onto her head.

Then Akina Nakamori saw Nahoko Kawai, who had just left, pushing a large cake with candles and singing a happy birthday song towards her with other staff members of the program team.

"Akina-chan, happy birthday!"

"Nakamori-senpai, happy birthday!"

"Nakamori-san, happy birthday!"

……

Amid everyone's congratulations, there were cameras around to record this scene. It will probably be used as an easter egg and inserted into the new episode of the program.

"Sorry, the supervisor just asked me to help hold you for a while so that they can prepare a surprise for you."

Kawai Nahoko came up and said to Nakamori Akina.

"It doesn't matter." Akina Nakamori said.

Next, Akina Nakamori thanked the staff who prepared the surprise for her, and accepted the birthday gifts everyone gave her.

After the program director affiliated with Yunying Animation sent blessings and gifts, he also took out some gifts from other people.

They are all people who are too busy at work to be there.

For example, Hirohashi Asako, Ito Shinsuke, Yoshioka Shota, Iijima Mitochi, Genki Girls, Koizumi Kyoko...etc.

However, after Akina Nakamori received all the gifts, she keenly discovered that only one person was missing.

She thought to herself that the bad guy must have been taking care of his daughter in America and forgot her birthday.

Without the blessing of a scumbag, even if there are smiling faces all around.

Akina Nakamori still found it difficult to be happy and felt gloomy.

After dealing with everyone with a strong smile and ending the birthday surprise, Akina Nakamori put the gifts in the car with everyone's help.

Then he drove towards the house in Shiroganedai District.

After "Creation on the Cloud" started airing, Akina Nakamori followed Hideki Hanyu's suggestion and asked her younger sister Akiho Nakamori to sign up for the Creation Camp.

Relying on the fame of her sister and the "back door" care of the program team, Nakamori Akiho is considered one of the most popular students in the Tokyo Girls' Creation Camp.

In order to facilitate her sister's training, Nakamori Akina let her live in her apartment.

As for her, she often lives in Hanyu Hideki's house in Shirokanedai recently.

I struggled to carry two big bags to the door.

Nakamori Akina just opened the door and saw the dark room, the last hope in her heart gradually extinguished.

She put the gift in the entrance hall and was not in the mood to open it.

I changed my shoes and got ready to go to the bedroom.

She felt inexplicably frustrated and aggrieved. She didn't want to do anything at this moment and just wanted to fall asleep quickly.

perhaps……

Maybe when you fall asleep, you can see that bad man in your dream.

thump—

Before Nakamori Akina could step onto the stairs, a voice came.

It seemed to be the sound of a piano being pressed.

In this house, there is a piano that Asako Hirohashi gave to Hideki Hanyu.

It was one of the few things that Hideki Hanyu brought over after the 'All Things House' was demolished.

Now the piano is placed not far from the dining table.

There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in that place. When Hanyu Hideki is free, he likes to set up his easel there and create his works.

Nakamori Akina clearly remembers any habits of Hanyu Hideki.

She would also sit there when the man was not around.

It seems that doing so will bring you closer to the one you love.

But then I heard the sound of the piano.

Nakamori Akina thought, could it be that Nakolulu accidentally pressed the piano?

She originally thought that Nakolulu had fallen asleep on the cat stand.

You can wait for Nakamori Akina to walk around a door and walk to the restaurant.

Only to find that there were several candles lit on the dining table.

With the faint candlelight, you can see a figure sitting in front of the piano not far away.

Even though the candlelight wasn't too bright, the figures didn't look realistic enough.

But Akina Nakamori is certain that that is the lover she wants to see in her dreams.

She would never admit his mistake to this person who was engraved in her heart.

But Hideki Hanyu didn't talk to her.

Just press your fingers lightly on the piano keys.

thump—

Another piano sound sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the continuous sound of the piano played into music.

The short prelude ends.

The scumbag's magnetic singing voice sounded.

“The gorgeous season dyes the city golden.

Gently surrounding your profile.

……

I love you more than anyone else in the world, with a more exciting heartbeat
I really want to embrace you all the time, through the four seasons, forever. "

(detailed lyrics·pictures)

The song is called "Love You More Than Anyone in the World."

Noboru Uesugi and Miho Nakayama wrote the lyrics, and Tetsuro Oda composed the music.

It is a single released by Miho Nakayama and WANDS in 1992 as the theme song for the TV series "I Love My Dad's Lover" starring Miho Nakayama.

After the single was released, it became a hit in Neon.

Not only has the cumulative sales exceeded 200 million.

It also ranked high on the 90s neon karaoke on-demand list.

From this we can see the quality of this song.

However, the original song, which has a stronger rhythm, has a more lyrical feel under Hanyu Hideki's piano playing and singing, which actually complements the current atmosphere.

So Nakamori Akina heard Hanyu Hideki's soulful singing.

Savor the emotional lyrics.

Coupled with the feeling of being surprised again after being disappointed.

How could Akina Nakamori not be confused!
His eyes turned red instantly.

There is only love for Hanyu Hideki in my mind.

Even the heart in the girl's chest seemed to be beating for Hanyu Hideki.

She stood there, smiling and wiping the tears from her eyes with her hands.

(The scumbag makes Akina cry for the Nth time·Picture)
Hideki Hanyu sang the last line and pressed the last note of the song.

Then he stood up from the piano, walked to the dining table, and took down an "ugly" cake with candles from the dining table.

Hideki Hanyu lit the candles on the cake, then held it in front of Nakamori Akina, who was still moved to tears.

One hand gently wiped away the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes.

Holding the cake in front of the girl with one hand.

The handsome face smiled slightly.

"Happy birthday, my silly girl, don't you think I forgot your birthday?"

As he said this, he motioned towards the cake in his hand.

"Although the cake is a bit ugly, it was made by me myself. I hope you don't dislike it and blow out the candles quickly..."

Before Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Nakamori Akina first burst into laughter, then opened her arms and got into his arms.

The girl hugged Hanyu Hideki with all her strength, as if she wanted to integrate herself into the man's body.

She seemed worried that the person she loved would disappear in the next second, and everything in front of her was just an illusion in her dream.

"I won't dislike it. I will never dislike it. Hanyu-kun, I love you. I will always love you..."

Listening to the loving words coming out of Nakamori Akina's mouth.

Hanyu Hideki held the other person's slender waist with one hand and tried his best to stabilize the cake with the other hand, saving him from falling to the ground after nearly two hours of work.

After a while, Hanyu Hideki persuaded in a gentle tone.

"Okay, I know my Akina loves me, but why don't I blow the cake first? The candles are about to burn out."

"Um……"

The girl responded softly.

Then he got out of Hanyu Hideki's arms and blew on the cake gently.

Looking at the ugly cake, Nakamori Akina dipped her hand into a little cream, put it in her mouth, and then said with a satisfied expression.

"The cake Hanyu-kun made for me is so delicious."

"Really? It seems that my craftsmanship is not bad." Hanyu Hideki chuckled.

"Really, this is the best cake I've ever eaten in my life."

Nakamori Akina said, carefully picking up the cake and placing it on the dining table.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether the cake tastes good or not.

The important thing is that this was done for her by the hands of her beloved.

To her, this cake is the most delicious cake in the world.

More precious than any birthday gift.

After putting down the cake, Nakamori Akina put her arms around Hanyu Hideki's waist again.

The girl looked at Hanyu Hideki, her eyes full of love and asked, "Why haven't I heard the song Hanyu-kun sang just now?"

"This is my birthday gift for Akina, do you like it?"

Hideki Hanyu took the song as his own without hesitation.

Anyway, one of the future creators of this song is his current employee, and the other may be his future employee.

As the big boss, he borrowed the song to use, and neither of them dared to be dissatisfied.

"I like it. What's the name of this song?"

"Love you more than anyone else in the world..."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki's answer came out, Nakamori Akina immediately became emotional.

He said, "Me too."

Then he stood up on tiptoes and kissed Hanyu Hideki.

After the passionate kiss, Akina Nakamori was still not satisfied.

The girl hugged the man's neck and said in a charming tone, "You want me..."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to hug Nakamori Akina and go directly to the bedroom.

But Nakamori Akina avoided it.

The girl is not refusing.

She just untied the shoulder straps and let the skirt slide off her body.

While speaking in a breathtakingly seductive voice.

"I can't wait, right here..."
-
The next day.

Early in the morning, Hanyu Hideki climbed out of bed in high spirits.

On the other hand, a certain dish cannot be conquered.

Because I was fascinated by the scumbag's birthday surprise, I was so emotional that I took the initiative to ask for a fight without overestimating my capabilities.

As a result, he was tortured by the scumbag until early in the morning and successfully counterattacked.

Don't talk about getting up at this time, I can't even wake up from sleep.

Fortunately, there is nothing important to do this morning.

Otherwise, the scumbag would have to go to Asako Hirohashi to ask for leave for his woman on his first day back at Neon.

But this time he returned to Neon, except for personal matters such as celebrating Nakamori Akina's birthday.

I have other work to do.

Therefore, he did not stay at home for too long. He spoke to the dazed Akina Nakamori and rushed towards Shinagawa District.

In the president's office on the highest floor of the Elf Entertainment Building.

Hideki Hanyu met Satoru Iwata, who was always busy.

this year.

Although several important products of Elf Entertainment have been launched one after another.

Such as Pokeball handheld consoles and upgraded models of PS consoles.

For example, the popular 'Pokémon Fight' electronic pets.

Or several light gun arcade machines developed based on the EGP arcade platform.

But it doesn't mean that Satoru Iwata can take some time off.

Game development.

The three major studios and their affiliated development groups, Elf Entertainment or acquired, or controlled game developers.

Although their specific game development work is managed by department heads, content supervision offices and other relevant departments and responsible persons, Iwata himself cannot completely ignore it.

A general understanding is still necessary.

After a bunch of development projects add up, the workload cannot be underestimated.

Especially since Satoru Iwata is a game developer himself and pays special attention to this aspect of work, he has even more worries.

And in terms of hardware research and development.

The upgrade of PS console and Pokeball console itself, as well as the research and development of related external devices, have never stopped.

Neon, America, and other regional R&D centers are constantly investing funds in some hardware technologies that are useful or not.

The purpose of this is not only to reserve technology for the future, but also to register patents in advance.Elf Entertainment is developing very well now, but that doesn’t mean it can sit back and relax.

Sega, Nintendo, and other game companies around the world are waiting for Elf Entertainment to fail.

Therefore, taking precautions is something Elf Entertainment must do.

Whether it is a handheld console, an arcade platform, or a TV console, the next-generation products have already begun to design and develop in advance, and have made technical reserves in advance.

In addition to these, after entering a period of rapid development, Elf Entertainment showed its fangs and began to use funds to continuously expand.

In addition to selecting suitable and helpful targets to acquire or hold shares.

The 'Elf Factory' with completely separated management will not only build its own factories overseas, but also support some foundries.

The state's expansion, similar to that of Miyagi Prefecture, is also continuing.

The improvement of sales channels has never stopped, and neither Neon nor overseas can relax.

For example, the 'Elf Show' must be opened in all major cities in the world.

As for other tedious matters of dealing with the media, partners, and suppliers, Iwata also has to worry about it.

In the past, most of the time Hideki Hanyu, the hands-off boss, came to Elf Entertainment for game development work.

However, this year after several studios are busy with the projects he arranged, in addition to needing to pay attention to the unfinished "Sonic", he does not plan to arrange new game projects.

Whether it's creating a new game or developing a sequel, just let everyone play freely.

Therefore, his return to see Satoru Iwata has nothing to do with game development.

Mainly for two things.

The first thing he explained to Satoru Iwata before going to America.

"Iwata-san, has the internal supervision mechanism for Pokémon cards been completed?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

After seeing the popularity of the 'Elf Card' in the secondary market, Hideki Hanyu ordered Satoru Iwata to set up an internal supervision organization before leaving America.

After hearing this, Satoru Iwata took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Hideki Hanyu.

"The organization has been established. It is independent of the original club system and is solely responsible to me. This is the information of the organization. If the president feels that there is any need to change, please let me know."

Hideki Hanyu picked up the document and looked at it.

He knew the main people in charge of several regions, but he was not familiar with the ordinary employees.

As the company grows, it is naturally impossible for him to know everyone.

What really needs attention is the rights system of the organization.

After roughly looking at it, he found that the design was reasonable, so he didn't offer any new opinions.

Returning the document to Satoru Iwata, "Iwata-san can just decide for himself, I won't participate."

After saying that, he asked about the second thing about returning to Neon this time.

"Iwata-san called me specifically to tell me that there is something going on with New Neon Planning, and now I can talk about it in detail."

New Neon Project is SNK who will develop King of Fighters in the future.

When the other party was operating its own business and its financial situation was not good, it decided to spend huge sums of money to develop its own arcade platform system.

This arcade platform is very cleverly designed. In terms of performance and modular functions, it is completely inferior to Elf Entertainment's EGP platform.

But SNK took a different approach and embedded a sound chip on the substrate, which allows game characters to sing idol songs.

I have to say that SNK has quite a big imagination and is very thoughtful and creative.

At the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo in March, SNK announced the new platform.

If it follows the original historical development, SNK will use this hardware product to turn losses into profits in one fell swoop and successfully create the game character 'Asamiya Athena'.

Then embarked on the road to success, continued to invest in hardware research and development, and finally relied on the rental model, the "NEO GEO" arcade platform, and popular games to become the overlord of the neon arcade industry.

But it is a pity that in today's history, Elf Entertainment has suddenly emerged in the arcade world.

The EGP Street platform was launched first, with its convenient and fast modular system and a more thorough rental expansion model than SNK.

The EGP arcade platform achieved success earlier than SNK in another time and space.

Not just Neon, but also with the help of Elf Entertainment's global strategy, it has expanded its pace to the whole world.

The reason is that in Elf Entertainment's year-end financial report, the EGP arcade platform did not look impressive. Not only was it unprofitable, it was even losing money in the hardware part.

That's because for such a long time, Elf Entertainment has invested all the money earned from the EGP arcade platform into rapid expansion around the world.

Not only is the hardware unprofitable, but even the profits earned from the platform are almost all subsidized to the expansion of the platform.

Since the launch of the EGP arcade platform, Elf Entertainment has expanded regardless of costs.

No arcade manufacturer in the world can block the dominance of the EGP arcade platform.

Today, although Elf Entertainment’s promotion of the EGP arcade platform continues.

But in essence, the EGP arcade platform has completed complete unification in the arcade industry and is a veritable overlord in the world's arcade industry.

none of them!

If we talk about handheld devices and consoles, other manufacturers still have the hope and possibility of challenging Genie Entertainment.

But in the arcade world, the advantages of the EGP arcade platform are already unshakable.

In addition to some directly-operated stores of arcade manufacturers, EGP arcades have dominated all third-party arcades.

Genie Entertainment creates platforms, promotes and publishes games.

Sony makes the screens.

Companies in Tokyo produce semiconductor components.

Companies in Osaka produce arcade accessories, companies in Miyagi produce lamps, cabinets...

In addition, there are different suppliers and sellers in different regions of the world.

With the help of the EGP arcade platform that has swept the world, Elf Entertainment has created an entire huge production, supply and marketing benefit chain.

In this case, unless Elf Entertainment makes a major decision-making error on its own.

Or the arcade market will completely decline in the future.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the EGP platform to fail.

Even Sega and Nintendo, which compete with Genie Entertainment in the handheld and console markets, have already launched their games on the EGP platform.

In this case, it is self-evident how difficult it is for SNK to use its own method of building arcade baseboards to make a comeback.

In fact, half way through SNK's research and development, they discovered that the expansion of the EGP platform was so fast that they could no longer catch up.

But the huge amount of money that has been invested is difficult to recover.

The company's capital chain is already very difficult.

Giving up halfway is equivalent to immediate bankruptcy.

After burning the boat and completing research and development, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

In this way, SNK's substrate was launched.

Except for the sound chip that can sing, it is completely incomparable with the mature EGP arcade platform that has been upgraded several times.

In addition, Hideki Hanyu's desperate strategy against SNK was implemented by Satoru Iwata without hesitation.

The fate of SNK's new substrate can be imagined.

In the nearly four months since it was launched in March, SNK's substrate has barely made any splash on the market.

The most important thing is to learn from Elf Entertainment to promote it in a rental model.

SNK invested a lot of money.

Most of this money is not SNK's own, but it was obtained from banks thanks to easy loans nowadays.

But even during the bubble economy, even bank loans were easy to get.

But if you continue to make ends meet, even if you are left-handed and right-handed, there will be a day when you can no longer play.

Early R&D investment and later market promotion all require money.

As a result, the expected comeback did not occur.
All the expenses were added together, and SNK's capital chain was completely broken, and it was at the end of the road.

After Satoru Iwata briefly introduced the current situation of SNK, he pushed a local Osaka newspaper in front of Hanyu Hideki.

There is a piece of news in the corner.

The general content is that New Neon Project was blocked by suppliers asking for payment, and there was a suspected problem in the capital chain.

Iwata pointed to the newspaper, "According to the information we received from our Osaka partners, SNK's payment to suppliers has been delayed for more than two months."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Where is the bank? Is there any news from the bank?"

"I'm still asking about this. We have close cooperation with banks in Tokyo, but we lack relationships in Osaka." Iwata replied.

"This is not simple. Go find out which banks in Osaka SNK has loans from. We will also take out loans and borrow more. Then it will be all right."

Look at Hanyu Hideki's unconcerned expression when he spoke.

Iwata was very helpless, thinking that his boss's method was really simple and crude.

"Okay, I will arrange someone to do it immediately, but I think the result will definitely not be optimistic, so it is time to start taking action."

With Iwata Satoru's actions, Hanyu Hideki naturally knew what he was talking about.

Acquisition of SNK.

Although SNK is in a bad situation now, the so-called bad ship still has three points.

Whether it is software or hardware, SNK’s research and development capabilities cannot be underestimated.

Especially in the Osaka market, it has a great influence.

The acquisition of SNK will not only enhance the research and development capabilities of Genie Entertainment, but also expand its influence in the Kansai region.

As for the acquisition itself, Hanyu Hideki had nothing to say.

In the past two years, Elf Entertainment has acquired more than one company, SNK, and has rich experience.

Therefore, he only cares about one thing, "Iwata-san can make his own decision regarding the acquisition. I just want to know what you are going to do with SNK after the acquisition is completed."

"President, I think about it this way.

I do not plan to absorb SNK into the Pokémon system, but plan to continue its development in Osaka as an expansion and supplement to the Pokémon system in Osaka. "

As soon as Satoru Iwata said this, Hideki Hanyu fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded, "Just do what Iwata-san wants."

Iwata Satoshi replied, "Yes, President."

"Is there anything else going on here, Iwata-san?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"There is one more thing." Iwata said.

"What's the matter?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

“The person in charge of the Huaxia Elf Factory reported to me that arcades have begun to appear in coastal cities in China, but their arcade equipment is basically obsolete arcade machines purchased through Xiangjiang or other ports.

So he suggested that we build an arcade production plant in Pengcheng. He believed that the economic development potential there was huge, and the sooner we enter, the better, so that we can occupy a dominant position in the market. "

Hanyu Hideki did not expect that Satoru Iwata would suddenly mention things about China.

However, he did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Satoru Iwata, "What did you think about it?"

Iwata replied, “I discussed this matter with the company’s senior management.

Some people in the decision-making group believe that the words of the person in charge of the Huaxia Elf Factory are not worthy of attention. Huaxia is now poor and the market cannot develop at all, so it is also not worthy of attention.

Some people feel that we should pay attention to the Chinese market and it is necessary to plan in advance.

As for me, I prefer the latter.

However, considering that everyone has different opinions, I still want to hear your opinion, President. "

Hideki Hanyu still did not answer, but said to Satoru Iwata, "Show me your meeting minutes."

After hearing this, Satoru Iwata immediately ordered his assistant to get the minutes of the meeting.

Hanyu Hideki looked through it carefully, then took out the red pen from the table and drew red lines under all the senior officials who were not optimistic about the Chinese market.

Regardless of whether these people's judgments are right or wrong, with this poor strategic vision and arrogant conservative thinking, the future is basically over for Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki casually returned the meeting minutes to Satoru Iwata, and then said directly, "As the leader of Elf Entertainment, Iwata-san, you must make your own decisions and stick to your own ideas."

Listening to Hanyu Hideki's answer and looking at the red line on the meeting minutes, Satoru Iwata seemed to understand something.

He nodded heavily and said, "I understand, President."

At this time, Hanyu Hideki added, "Let's contact China. I plan to enter China this year as an official official of Elf Entertainment for inspection. I hope to get cooperation."

"Okay." Iwata recorded.

He could tell that Hideki Hanyu attached great importance to the Chinese market.

Go to China to inspect in person in an official capacity.

It is not just an inspection, but also a personal action to show to everyone at Elf Entertainment to express its attitude towards the Chinese market.

"Then that's it for today. I'm going to the magic studio to have a look. Iwata-san, you can continue your work. There's no need to see me off."

"Okay, President."

Next, Hideki Hanyu left Iwata's office and went to Magic Studio.

Together with Toshihiko Nakago, he reviewed Yuji Naka's development progress on "Sonic."

As another historic strategic game from Genie Entertainment after "Super Mario Bros.", "Sonic" even though it has gathered the main strength of Magic Studio, its progress is still not optimistic.

But that's not surprising.

According to Toshihiko Nakago, "Sonic" is the first game on the PS console platform that can fully utilize the color and performance of the console.

Whether it's game design, graphics, music, or even every little detail.

Magic Studio is always aiming to create super high-quality products.

Therefore, according to the current progress, the game is expected to complete all development before the end of the year and officially enter the testing phase.

As for the launch, it is estimated that it will not be until next year.

In this regard, Hanyu Hideki did not urge him.

After all, in a short period of time, the market of Elf Entertainment is still very stable, and there is no need for "Sonic" to be the icing on the cake.

And in his opinion, the "Sonic" produced by Elf Entertainment today is definitely better than the one developed by Sega in another time and space.

Such a better game is worth waiting for for Elf Entertainment.

Farewell to Toshihiko Nakago and Yuji Naka, Hideki Hanyu leaves Magic Studio.

This trip to Elf Entertainment is over.

As for other departments, he had no intention of inspecting them.

His current status and every move are easily over-interpreted.

Sometimes it would be better for him to directly communicate with the top management about what he wanted to do than to personally interfere with the lower level of the society.

The kind of plot where the boss pays a private visit incognito, pretends to be a new employee in the lower-level department, reveals his identity to the supervisor who bullies him, pretends to be a pig, eats the tiger, and slaps him in the face.

Just think about it, if you really want to do it.

It will only make everyone in the entire club feel in danger and become completely chaotic.

Moreover, just with his face, it is difficult not to recognize him.

Besides, how could he have that kind of free time?

After leaving Elf Entertainment, seeing that it was already afternoon, Hanyu Hideki went home without wandering around.

In the house, Akina Nakamori, who was overwhelmed last night, had not only gotten up, but also took the time to go to Fuji Channel to record a program at noon.

Geng had already returned home and, with the help of the chef, prepared a love dinner for Hanyu Hideki.

So Hideki Hanyu just walked in.

Except for being greeted by the little female cat Nakolulu.

There is also a faint aroma of food reaching my nose.

"What delicious food did you cook today?"

Hanyu Hideki asked loudly while taking off his coat.

As a result, Akina Nakamori heard the noise and immediately ran out of the kitchen.

While delivering slippers to Hideki Hanyu, he helped Hideki Hanyu hang his clothes in the cloakroom.

At the same time, he was still saying, "I personally cooked Hanyu-kun's favorite beef today."

"That's really something I'm looking forward to." Hanyu Hideki was quite applauded.

"It's French-style beef stew with red wine. I chose Matsusaka beef."

Nakamori Akina couldn't wait to introduce Hanyu Hideki.

"That sounds good..."

Even though he hadn't eaten it yet, Hideki Hanyu continued to praise him.

At this time, all a man needs to do is praise.

Besides, Hanyu Hideki has already seen that the chef team he hired is the one who calls the shots in the kitchen, and Akina Nakamori can be regarded as an assistant at most.

In this case, even if you want to taste it, it won't taste good.

A wonderful and romantic dinner, starting with French bourguignon.

After dinner, Akina Nakamori lit candles and insisted that Hideki Hanyu play and sing the song "Love You More Than Anyone in the World" for her last night.

She didn't know that she liked this song.

She still wanted to hear Hideki Hanyu repeat the lyrics that fascinated her.

But after listening to it emotionally.

The girl overestimated her ability and took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Then Hideki Hanyu pinned him down on the piano for a while.

……

July th.

Akina Nakamori, who had lost Hideki Hanyu for several days, had to leave Tokyo due to work reasons.

As for Hanyu Hideki, after finishing a series of tasks, he was also ready to go to Hong Kong.

After all, the first "Yun·Shang Charity Dinner" has been confirmed to be held on Saturday night, July 19th, Hong Kong time.

For this "Yun Shang Charity Dinner", TVB originally planned to invite Yun Shang Entertainment artists to participate, such as Akina Nakamori, Vitality Girl and others.

However, after discussing with Hideki Hanyu, Asako Hirohashi decided not to allow cloud-based artists to attend in large numbers in order to avoid accidents, considering that it was only the first event.

But in order to take care of TVB's face, Hirohashi Asako finally decided to send the "F4" group, which is also very popular because of the TV series in Hong Kong, and Yuki Saito to participate.

The second season of "Boys Over Flowers" has ended on Neon.

But this TV series continues to be popular on TVB in Hong Kong.

However, when talking about the broadcast of "Boys Over Flowers" in Hong Kong, another episode must be mentioned.

That is, both TVB and ATV intend to win the broadcast rights.

But when bidding, the two TV stations competed to see who was more stingy.

As a result, ATV was not as stingy as Mr. Shao and offered a higher price.

But Mr. Shao, who lost the competition, quit.

The call was made directly to America, and he told Hanyu Hideki that TVB and Yunshang Entertainment were our own people, and there was no reason to give up popular dramas to competitors for a little money.

Hideki Hanyu was speechless for Mr. Shao who wanted to win a TV series but didn't want to pay for it yet.

However, considering that we still need to cooperate for the time being, we could only use Elf Entertainment's model of subsidizing end-of-credit advertising, and paid an extra sum of money to help TVB win the broadcast rights.

However, although the "F4" group and Yuki Saito are determined to attend the charity dinner, due to their busy schedules, they will definitely have to wait until that day.

As for Hanyu Hideki, after helping Yuko Furotegawa celebrate her birthday at noon on NO.16, he took the "Spirit" to Xiangjiang.

……

Hong Kong, Kai Tak International Airport.

Outside the airport, Masako Kobayashi, the person in charge of the Xiangjiang branch of Cloud Entertainment, and other senior executives.

There are also some bodyguards who arrived in Xiangjiang in advance to prepare under Marco's arrangement.

Everyone is already waiting for Hanyu Hideki's arrival.

Seeing that the time for the plane to land was getting closer and closer, Masaichi Kobayashi couldn't help but feel anxious.

As for why.

Just look at the two beautiful figures parked next to the Bentley Mulsanne belonging to Hideki Hanyu.

After these two women learned about the president's arrival today.

Came to pick him up by chance.

The smell of gunpowder between the two people, and the sparks of electricity that fly when their eyes meet, can be felt without the need for post-production special effects.

Does this situation count as the legendary Shura Field?
I hope the president will not blame him for not doing things well.

　The song has been put into the cloud playlist 'Through the Bubble Era'.
