Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 579 Hey~~tui! This is disrespectful!

At Yutaro Hatoyama's home in Tokyo.

Yutaro Hatoyama was on the phone with old man Murayama who was far away in Osaka City.

Yutaro Hatoyama said, "The board meeting of Storm Advertising should have started."

Old man Murayama said, "According to the time, it should have just started."

Hatoyama Yutaro asked with a smile, "I heard that Dentsu sent a new representative to the meeting today. He is not one of ours. Do you think we should worry about him?"

Old man Murayama laughed back, "I'm worried, who should I worry about? I won't worry about that little fox. If he relied on us at the beginning, now he has to rely on himself."

Yutaro Hatoyama said with emotion, "Yes, some people in Dentsu have been arrogant for too long. If you think you can be as arrogant in Storm Advertising as you were in Dentsu, you are completely wrong."

Old Murayama said, "We don't need to worry about the Storm Advertising. I guess that little fox will definitely make other big moves next. We just need to help him out a little bit."

Yutaro Hatoyama said, "I understand this, but it's a pity that I can't go and watch the fun."

Old Murayama laughed and said, "Haha, with that kid taking action, are you still worried that there won't be much fun to watch?"

Yutaro Hatoyama laughed out loud, "That's right, let's wait and see."
-
In the conference room on the top floor of the Storm Advertising Building, which is only a few dozen meters away from the Yunshang Entertainment headquarters building.

An important board meeting is taking place.

Before this board meeting, everyone thought that the main topic would be discussing Storm Advertising's listing plan.

After all, when Storm Advertising was first established, many investors were looking forward to this day.

Now the preparations before listing have taken so long.

Even the pre-IPO share subscription has been completed.

Storm Advertising is just one step away from going public.

In addition to the original founders of Storm Advertising, this board meeting was also attended by many shareholders who joined later.

Therefore, the number of participants and the scale of the conference were unprecedented.

It’s just that after all the directors arrived, the meeting officially began.

However, everyone found that the direction of the meeting content seemed to be very problematic, which was so surprising that it exceeded many people's imagination.

As the president, Shota Yoshioka was responsible for chairing this board meeting.

After he introduced the progress of the listing and announced that the directors' representatives could say anything they wanted to say.

A representative director from Fuji Sankei Group named Kurihara Tokuji stood up and said, "I have no doubts about the listing itself, but I have another concern."

Yoshioka Shouta held out his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Representative Kurihara, please go ahead."

“I, and the Fuji Sankei Group that I represent, have doubts about President Yoshioka’s ability.

In my opinion, President Yoshioka lacks the ability to lead a listed company, whether in terms of academic qualifications, seniority, or work experience.

So I think the board of directors should appoint a new president before going public.”

As soon as Kurihara Tokuji said this, the meeting room was immediately plunged into a strange atmosphere.

Some representatives looked surprised and whispered to each other.

Some representatives looked unhappy, such as Hirohashi Asako who came to the meeting in person.

There were also representatives who remained calm, as if they had already known about this.

After Kurihara Tokuji finished speaking, one representative even stood up and said, "I think what Representative Kurihara said is right. Although President Yoshioka has done a good job before, it is well known that leading a listed company is completely different from leading a non-listed company."

The representative who agreed with the idea had the support of one of the upper-class dignitaries when Storm Advertising was first established.

In addition to him, many others followed suit and expressed support for the remarks made by the representative of Fuji Sankei Group.

Of course, where there are supporters there are also opponents.

As soon as the representative who supported him finished speaking, someone immediately refuted him.

"You are just making up excuses. As long as you can lead the company's development, it doesn't matter whether you have experience in managing a listed company or not.

Isn’t it the management ability that the market values ​​most for listed companies? I think President Yoshioka has done a good job in this regard. "

After hearing the opponent's words, the person with the ugliest expression was none other than Kurihara, the representative of Fuji Sankei Group.

Because the first person to stand up and support Shota Yoshioka was not someone else, but a representative from Fuji TV.

Fuji Sankei Group and Fuji TV are both under the same parent company, Neon Broadcasting Corporation, and can be said to be brother companies.

The former mainly operates traditional paper media newspapers and publishing industries.

Needless to say, the latter is responsible for radio and television business.

And what’s interesting is that these two subsidiaries are both larger than their parent company, Neon Broadcasting, in terms of market capitalization.

Therefore, although they have the same parent company.

However, the parent company’s direct control over the two companies is not as strong as imagined.

This also leads to the fact that the influence between the two companies on each other is also very general.

The two brother units expressed different opinions on how to deal with the matter of Shota Yoshioka, which immediately made the representatives at the meeting lively and they felt that today's events were becoming more and more interesting.

However, even though Fuji TV took the lead in opposing it, several other representatives also stood up to oppose it.

But in terms of overall scale, Fuji Sankei Group still has the upper hand.

At this time, Hirohashi Asako also spoke up, "I believe in President Yoshioka's ability, and I believe that under his leadership, even if Storm Advertising goes public, its performance will be recognized by the market."

But what no one expected was that after Hirohashi Asako finished speaking, a key figure spoke.

"Mr. Hirohashi, we all know that President Yoshioka is from the Yunshang Group, so I think as the president of Yunshang Entertainment Group, you should not express your opinion lightly in this discussion."

As soon as this key figure opened his mouth, the faces of everyone at the meeting changed.

Because this person represents the most important force in the Storm Advertising board of directors, and it can also be said that it is the dominant force.

Dentsu.

Dentsu actually stood on the side against the Yunshang system.

This situation inevitably leads many people to have other associations.

Could it be that there is a problem in the relationship between the Yunshang system, which has always had a pleasant cooperation with Dentsu?
If it is true, then this information is much more important than Shota Yoshioka losing his position as president of Storm Advertising.

After all, everyone knows that the rise of the Yunshang Group was largely due to the support of Dentsu.

At this time, Hirohashi Asako's face was gloomy.

Although when she came, she had already learned from Hanyu Hideki that all the supporters of the Yunshang Group within Dentsu had been dragged away for other matters.

But I didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

For the first time, Dentsu did not stand on the side of the Cloud Department.

Although she was in a bad mood, she would certainly not really do as the Dentsu representative said and not get involved in this matter.

Today, no matter who targets the Yunshang system, she cannot back down.

"As a major shareholder of Storm Advertising, Yunshang Entertainment is certainly qualified to express its own opinions, and this will not be influenced by any other reasons."

As soon as Hirohashi Asako spoke, she showed no sign of weakness.

All the representatives present understood that there would be some fun to watch today.

Some representatives began to worry.

Whether it is overseas or in Japan, the biggest production force of Storm Advertising is Yunshang Advertising Production Co., Ltd.

If the power from Dentsu conflicts with the Cloud System.

The Yunshang system will certainly suffer a huge loss, but will Storm Advertising itself remain unscathed?

But faced with Hirohashi Asako's words, how could the Dentsu representative, who was always arrogant, give in?

Besides, he was not from the same faction as Yutaro Hatoyama and old man Murayama within Dentsu.

Previous representatives would give preferential treatment to Yunshang Entertainment for the sake of those two factions, but he would not do that at all.

So, when Hirohashi Asako finished speaking.

The Dentsu representative immediately spoke rudely and arrogantly.

"Mr. Guangqiao, please put yourself in the right position. Yunshang Entertainment is just a downstream partner of Dentsu. Don't think that you are so important that you can be on an equal footing with Dentsu."

"I am just stating the facts objectively."

Although she was extremely angry at what the Dentsu representative said, Hirohashi Asako tried her best to calm herself down on the surface.

At this moment, she finally understood some of the things that Hideki Hanyu had said.

Once, she was happy about the good relationship between the Yunshang Group and the internal forces of Dentsu.

But Hideki Hanyu didn't seem to care.

He also said some strange things, like 'If you rely on a mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on a tree, the tree will shake; if you rely on people, they will run away' and the only person you can rely on in this world is yourself.

And tell her never to put her hopes on others.

The most important thing is to become stronger.

This is also why, although Hirohashi Asako was angry at this time, she still had the confidence to argue with the Dentsu representative.

Because even if Dentsu really turns against the Yunshang Group and completely expels its production force, it is still unknown whether Storm Advertising will collapse, but it is certain that there will be short-term unrest and suspension of listing.

But this is just confidence, not a decisive force.

She was just betting that Dentsu would not sabotage Storm Advertising's listing plan for the sake of those people behind it.

However, the attitude of the Dentsu representative showed no sign of changing.

The other party continued to maintain his arrogant attitude and said to Hirohashi Asako, "On the issue of the president, it is now the opinion of both Dentsu and the majority of the directors."

As soon as the Dentsu representative made this statement, a large number of board representatives immediately stood up to support it.

In an instant, Hirohashi Asako fell into a complete disadvantage.

The Dentsu representative took advantage of the situation to stand up and spoke condescendingly to Hirohashi Asako.

"Representative Guangqiao, under the current circumstances, Yunshang Entertainment should not resist, but take the overall situation into consideration and comply with the decision of the board of directors to reappoint the president."

Including Shota Yoshioka's initial speech, the meeting had already lasted two hours.

Hirohashi Asako looked at the Dentsu representative who was using his power to overpower others.

Since she didn't know how long it would take for Hideki Hanyu to arrive, all she could do was to delay the time.

Just when she was about to ignore the situation and continue to express her opposition.

boom!
The conference room door was pushed open violently.

A figure walked in.

A board representative was startled by the noise and was about to ask who was so blind as to not notice that a meeting was going on inside.

But after seeing who was coming, he immediately shut his mouth.

Because the person who came was not someone else, but another representative of the Yunshang board of directors who was supposed to be absent.

Hideki Hanyu.

"Sorry, I'm a little late. I didn't expect you guys to be chatting so lively."

Hideki Hanyu's apology was extremely perfunctory, and he showed no sign of shame for being late.

He glanced at everyone and did not sit down immediately. Instead, he walked to Shota Yoshioka and patted the shoulder of the president who was the host.

Then he picked up the minutes of the meeting written by the recorder next to him and read them quickly in front of everyone.

After understanding the general situation of the meeting, he calmly sat down next to Hirohashi Asako and placed the briefcase he was holding when he came in on the table in front of him.

Hanyu Hideki ignored the Dentsu representative who was still standing there with an unhappy look on his face, and ordered the staff in the conference room, "Go get me a cup of tea."

The Dentsu representative was a man over fifty years old.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki being so carefree, he reminded him unhappily, "Hanyu representative, please pay attention to the meeting discipline!"

Who would have thought that Hanyu Hideki would laugh after hearing this.

"Haha, I thought you also wanted me to consider the overall situation."

The Dentsu representative looked even uglier, and continued to remind, "Hanyu representative, please pay attention to the meeting discipline!"

“Shouldn’t the president of Storm Advertising be responsible for managing the meeting discipline? You just want to replace President Yoshioka, but you haven’t officially replaced him yet.

So, he has no objection, why are you nagging here? "

Hideki Hanyu's face was full of disdain.

The representative of Dentsu came from an extraordinary background. He rose rapidly after joining Dentsu and was the envy of the outside world as the "Dentsu MAN". When had he ever been treated so rudely in public?

He could not help but yell, "Mr. Hanyu, where are your manners?"

If an ordinary Japanese person faced such rude accusations, he would at least say sorry or something.

But then Hideki Hanyu did something that no one expected.

Hey~~tui!

In front of everyone, Hideki Hanyu spat directly in front of the Dentsu representative.

Then he said slowly, "Did you see clearly? This is rude, do you understand?"

Then he stared at the Dentsu representative with a very cold gaze.

"I forgot to tell you, I hate it when people talk down to me. You'd better sit down, otherwise..."

Hanyu Hideki's final "otherwise" that was almost uttered through gritted teeth made everyone present feel cold in their hearts.

Although they represent different powerful forces.

But in the final analysis, it is just a representation.

But the Hanyu Hideki in front of us is the force itself.

Even if Hanyu Hideki suddenly beat them up today, not only would he be accused of being impolite, but the forces behind them would not be able to avenge them.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu probably won't do that.

However, Dentsu representatives did not dare to take the gamble.

So he could only sit back in his chair with a grim face.

While being angry, the Dentsu representative also had to admire Hanyu Hideki.

After coming in, his seemingly "vulgar" behavior completely destroyed the momentum he had worked so hard to build up.

However, he will not give up his established plan because of Hideki Hanyu's arrival.

Suppressing his anger, he continued, "Hanyu, no matter what you do, the board's decision to replace the president must be implemented."

"Haha, what if I don't agree? What are you going to do? Are you going to cut off all cooperation with Yunshang Entertainment?"

The Dentsu representative did not answer directly, but gave a formulaic answer, "Yunshang Advertising Production Co., Ltd. is not the only partner of Storm Advertising, so please respect the decision of the board of directors."

"First of all, the so-called board decision you mentioned does not represent all board members."

Hideki Hanyu immediately rejected the Dentsu representative's words.

Then he added, "Also, Storm Advertising is not serving Dentsu, but a large number of overseas advertising brand clients. I think their opinions are also very important."

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki opened the briefcase in front of him, took out a thick stack of documents from it, and handed it to the staff member who brought him tea.

"Go and show it to the representatives."

Just as the staff went to distribute the documents, Hideki Hanyu picked up a document and started reading it without waiting for them to finish reading it.

"These are authorization documents from Northeast Energy (International), Elf Entertainment (Overseas Branch), Elf Communication (International), Blockbuster, Supreme, Ayi International, LVMH Group, Dior, Lamborghini, Microsoft, Cisco, Daily Coffee, Shenling Vision, Yunshang Pictures, Crescent Cinema (International), Manchester United Football Club, Vigorous Convenience Store, Game Base Publishing (International), Uniqlo (International), Italy Bellucci Logistics, Master Kong... and other companies.

They authorized me to evaluate the operation of Storm Advertising and, if necessary, to avoid Storm Advertising being unable to provide the best service, they will carefully consider continuing to cooperate with Storm Advertising. "

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, all the representatives in the conference room felt a sense of oppression.

That is the feeling of oppression from Party A’s father.

Just now, the Dentsu representative said that Yunshang is just one of their downstream partners.

But now, Hideki Hanyu can also say that Storm Advertising is just one of the advertisers that these brands can cooperate with.

In Japan, Dentsu was able to buy out the airtime of television stations and control Japan's advertising market, becoming the uncrowned king of the entire media and entertainment industry.

But after Neon lost this privilege, the brand owners would not care about Storm Advertising at all.

The service is not good, they will change it immediately.

Once the contracts with these brands are lost, Storm Advertising will lose at least one-third of its clients after years of overseas efforts, many of which are important large clients.

This was absolutely a devastating blow to Storm Advertising.

After years of development, it is possible that something will be reduced to its original state in one day.

Because so many brands suddenly terminated their contracts on a large scale, the damage to Storm Advertising's reputation is difficult to recover at any cost.

Other cooperating brands may choose to follow suit and terminate the contract, or stop cooperating with Storm Advertising.

Besides, any well-informed representative at the scene could see that many brands on this list are directly related to Hideki Hanyu.

Or maybe it is a company under Hideki Hanyu.

Therefore, whether these brands cancel their cooperation with Storm Advertising may just be a matter of a word from Hideki Hanyu.

At this time, the Dentsu representative was holding the documents distributed by the staff in his hand. His knuckles began to turn white due to the force, and cold sweat oozed from his temples.

The brands represented by these authorization documents are not something that he, let alone the Dentsu faction behind him, dare to give up easily.

Faced with this card that Hanyu Hideki suddenly played, the Dentsu representative expressed his opinion in a trembling voice that he himself did not even notice.

"President Hanyu, the appointment of the president is an internal matter of Storm Advertising. Even the brand has no right to interfere."

Hideki Hanyu laughed on the spot.

"Haha, you're telling me now that this is an internal matter. Don't you think it's a little ridiculous?"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped smiling.

His tone turned cold, "Those guys sent you to the meeting, but didn't they tell you why I was sitting here?"

After saying this, he didn't even look at the ugly expression on the Dentsu representative's face.

He stood up and walked to the front of the meeting room.

When Shota Yoshioka saw Hideki Hanyu coming, he took the initiative to make way.

After Hanyu Hideki stood still, he tapped the microphone in front of him and made a direct announcement.

"Today's meeting has come to an end, and there is no finalized listing topic. We will discuss it again at the next meeting in a week.

The meeting is over! "

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, the representatives felt as if they had been pardoned. They packed up their things and left, fearing that they would be involved in the aftermath of the fight between the bosses.

However, when Hanyu Hideki saw a representative trying to sneak away, he immediately called out into the microphone, "Mr. Kurihara from Fuji Sankei Group, please stay!"

When Kurihara Tokuji heard this, who was about to slip away, his body shook instantly and cold sweat broke out on his body.

Of course he knew why Hideki Hanyu kept him.

After all, he was the one who fired the first shot against Shota Yoshioka today.

But even though he knew it, he didn't dare to ignore Hanyu Hideki's words.

I had no choice but to walk in front of Hanyu Hideki obediently.

"President Hanyu, what do you want from me?"

Hideki Hanyu did not answer, but said something seemingly irrelevant.

"That Fujishima Taisuke has been working for the Sankei Shimbun, right?"

"This... I don't know about this." Kurihara Tokuji began to play dumb. Hanyu Hideki sneered, "Haha, when Fuji Sankei Group joined Storm Advertising, Yunshang Entertainment voted in favor."

Kurihara Tokuji quickly said, "Thank you for the support of Yunshang Entertainment."

"Is this how you thank me?"

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's questioning, Kurihara Tokuji really didn't know how to answer. He was just a representative pushed to the front by the forces behind the scenes.

Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to make things difficult for a small person.

He just said it in a flat tone.

"Fuji Sankei Group must give me an explanation, and you can leave."

"Yes, I understand." Kurihara Tokuji agreed and fled out of the meeting room.

At this time, only Hanyu Hideki, Hirohashi Asako, and Yoshioka Shouta were left in the huge conference room.

Yoshioka Shouta spoke first, "This time, it's all thanks to Hanyu-san."

Hanyu Hideki shook his head and said, "Yoshioka-san, they are attacking you on the surface, but in fact they are trying to shake the foundation of Yunshang Entertainment Group."

Hirohashi Asako came over and said to Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-san, you came just in time. I almost couldn't stand it."

"We could have arrived earlier, but we were delayed for some time because of these authorization documents," Hanyu Hideki said.

Hirohashi Asako added, "It's not over yet."

Hanyu Hideki nodded. "It's just a stopgap measure. Storm Advertising can't be separated from us in the short term, and I can't really let the brand and Storm Advertising sever their cooperation."

The three people present all understood the truth behind Hanyu Hideki's words.

They must resolve this crisis while maintaining the fight without breaking up.

The position of president and advertising cooperation are just things that Yunshang Entertainment is striving for on the surface.

What Yunshang Entertainment really wants is power in Japan's media and entertainment industry.

Neon's advertising industry seems simple.

In fact, the hidden power is enormous.

It is enough to affect the entire industrial chain of Japan's media and entertainment industry.

Yunshang Entertainment Group must have its own voice in this regard.

It seems easy to completely cut off all cooperation.

But Storm Advertising and even Dentsu will only experience growing pains.

But Yunshang Entertainment will permanently lose its voice.

This is also the reason why Hideki Hanyu simply disbanded the meeting and reconvened it a week later.

If the fundamental problem that united the opponents is not resolved and is just suppressed by force, this matter will always be a thorn between Yunshang Group and Dentsu.

For current cloud entertainment.

This will have a serious impact on Hideki Hanyu's future plans.

Therefore, the next week is very important for Cloud Entertainment.

As long as the fundamental problem is solved, the meeting a week later will be just a formality.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki immediately gave instructions to Hirohashi Asako and Yoshioka Shota.

"You two continue to contact the forces that support us. I must pay attention to the situation overseas next."

Hirohashi Asako immediately said, "Overseas is the key, leave the Neon affairs to us."

"keep in touch."

"no problem."

……

After bidding farewell to Hirohashi Asako and Yoshioka Shota, Hanyu Hideki left the Storm Advertising office building.

In the Rolls-Royce parked downstairs, Zhou Huimin was playing the Phantom handheld game console while waiting for Hanyu Hideki.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki open the car door and get in, the girl immediately put down her handheld device, hugged Hanyu Hideki's arm and asked with concern, "Did the meeting go well?"

Hanyu Hideki smiled and patted the girl's hand and said, "It went well, don't worry."

"Where are we going next?" Zhou Huimin asked.

Hanyu Hideki said gently, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Tokyo, so of course I have to accompany you for a good tour."

Although in the coming period, he must keep an eye on overseas developments.

But Matsui Motoki had just set out and it would take some time before he arrived in America.

As for the arrangements after arrival, it is even more impossible to start immediately.

So there is actually nothing much he can do in the short term.

Zhou Huimin naturally didn’t know what had happened to Hanyu Hideki. When she heard that her lover wanted to accompany her, she felt very sweet and happy.

After taking the initiative to put his arms around Hanyu Hideki's neck and kissing him, he asked excitedly, "Where are we going now?"

"To have lunch, of course."

"Then let's go."

Next, Hanyu Hideki took Zhou Huimin to find a Tokyo-style restaurant for dinner.

Then he took Zhou Huimin to visit some famous attractions in Tokyo.

In the evening, he accompanied Zhou Huimin to Shinjuku and Ginza for shopping.

In today's era, Tokyo can be said to be the most prosperous city in the world.

It is even better than New York in America.

Therefore, with the company of Hanyu Hideki, Zhou Huimin ate, drank, went shopping and played, and finally went on a shopping spree. Naturally, she was very happy.

When she returned to the Yorozuya Shop at night, the girl saw what a real mansion was like.

Zhou Huimin originally thought that No. 6 Baijianshi Road, which Hanyu Hideki gave her, was already a real mansion.

But compared with the Yorozuya, it’s nothing.

A cattery that is larger than two thousand-square-foot mansions.

A massive sports arena built entirely underground.

Any painting in the corridor is an authentic work by a world-renowned painter.

The lucky ship rudders placed in the living room as decorations are all historical objects with their provenances indicated.

The water you drink is transported from thousands of miles away.

There is also the hot spring water that is transported from hundreds of kilometers away and is discarded after being used once.

All of these really opened Zhou Huimin's eyes.

Of course, when taking a hot spring bath with her beloved, Zhou Huimin also remembered Hanyu Hideki's unbridled and lingering enjoyment of her.

The girl's body and mind have been completely conquered by Hideki Hanyu.

In this way, the scumbag kept an eye on America's movements and directed the actions.

While accompanying Zhou Huimin who came to Tokyo for the first time.

Two days passed in a flash.

When it came to March 3rd, the arrangements and arrangements in America had already begun to officially move forward.

That afternoon, Hideki Hanyu personally sent Zhou Huimin to Haneda International Airport.

"I should have stayed with you for a while longer, but I have some important things to deal with recently, so I can only send you back to Hong Kong first."

"Dear, you don't have to explain to me, I will always believe in you."

In front of the exclusive passage of the private plane, Zhou Huimin, who was reluctant to part, ignored the gazes of Hanyu Hideki's subordinates, hugged Hanyu Hideki tightly, stood on tiptoe and gave him a passionate kiss.

The girl was so passionate and selfless, as if she wanted Hanyu Hideki to eat her up in one bite.

It was unknown how long the passionate kiss lasted until Hanyu Hideki's subordinates reminded him that the plane was about to take off.

The girl reluctantly parted with Hideki Hanyu.

"Remember to come find me." The girl said affectionately.

"Don't worry, I'll take you on vacation after I finish this."

"Well, then I'll wait for you."

……

After seeing Zhou Huimin off, Hanyu Hideki left the airport by car, but did not return to Yorozuya, but went straight to the training base in Sugami Ward.

There are also materials left by Matsui Motoki.

At this critical moment, he can't leave Neon easily.

Therefore, in order to communicate with Matsui Motoki, we must make use of the information left behind.

He had sent someone to guard Matsui Motoki's room two days ago.

So when he arrived, everything was exactly the same as before.

"Marco, I may need to stay here for the next few days."

"Boss, I will take care of everything."

"Notify Machiko and ask her to bring me some daily necessities and clothes."

"Ok."

After giving these instructions, Hanyu Hideki immediately dove into the information.

The so-called breaking news also requires methods and ways.

If he wants to grasp the scale and rhythm, he must master all the information.

By the evening, Hideki Hanyu contacted Motoki Matsui who was far away in America.

Hanyu Hideki asked, "How is the situation?"

Matsui Motoki replied, "Sir, the secretary you arranged to receive me has introduced me to some people."

"Very good." said Hanyu Hideki.

During these two days, it was naturally impossible for him to just accompany Zhou Huimin for fun.

He has fully mobilized his connections and relationships in the American media industry, such as academic publishers, and partners in the New York media industry. He even contacted Murdoch personally.

Most importantly, through some special relationships, he indirectly connected with American congressmen who held anti-Neon attitudes due to economic frictions during this period.

In short, in order to be absolutely sure, he basically used all the means he could.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to give orders.

"The next step is to officially begin. I have taken a brief look at the information you have collected. I think we should start from here... For example... this information should be exposed later.

Of course, these are preliminary arrangements, and we will definitely make specific plans based on the subsequent results and feedback.”

On the other end of the phone, Matsui Motoki said respectfully, "I will follow your instructions in everything."

"Next..."

Hideki Hanyu continued to remind Motoki Matsui of the things he should pay attention to.

But at the end, he suddenly remembered something.

Then he immediately said to Matsui Motoki, "Add one more person to the first phase list. He is the director of Dentsu ****."

"There shouldn't be this person in my information?" Matsui Motoki asked doubtfully.

"It's just borrowing someone else's knife to kill someone. Just find someone else's material and put it on his head."

Hideki Hanyu said this.

The person he was talking about was the director representative sent by Dentsu before.

Hideki Hanyu has never been a generous person when it comes to his enemies.

Although this kind of scandal may not necessarily cause the other party to lose his job at Dentsu, it can completely ruin his future.

Next, Hanyu Hideki continued to discuss with Matsui Motoki.

At the same time, two young and beautiful girls just walked out of the performance hall of the training base.

Apparently, they are none other than Yunshang Entertainment’s popular idols, 18-year-old Kudo Shizuka, and 17-year-old Sakai Noriko.

(Shizuka & Noriko, photo)
Of the two, Shizuka Kudo, who was wearing a red long skirt, had just the right amount of subtlety in her outfit, and was very fashionable. Her beautiful face gave off a youthful, lively, shrewd and rebellious vibe.

On the other hand, Noriko Sakai, who was wearing a white dress, perhaps because she was still young, gave people the most innocent, pure and lovely feeling.

The two girls were walking and chatting.

At the beginning, the topic basically revolved around the rehearsal of "Star Creation" that they had just watched.

"I think Kimura Takuya looks very energetic. He always cheers up his teammates during rehearsals, even though he is younger than me."

Noriko Sakai has a good impression of Takuya Kimura.

"The performance is good. I heard from the agent that the entire group's resources will be tilted towards them this year. They even cooperated with the Elf Publishing House to produce a group-exclusive comic book. It's really enviable."

Compared to Noriko Sakai, Shizuka Kudo is more focused on career development.

From the conversation between the two, we can see how different the two girls’ personalities are, as well as their respective “intentions” in their careers.

"I've also read the comics that Shizuka-chan mentioned. I think they're really good, and I heard they're very popular. With the comics promoting them in advance, their group will definitely be very popular after their debut. I always feel that Kimura Takuya will be something great in the future."

In response to Noriko Sakai's words, Shizuka Kudo curled her lips in disdain.

"How great can it be? No matter how great he is, he is just a small artist."

Having set her own president as her goal and having witnessed the power of Hanyu Hideki, Kudo Shizuka's perspective has changed.

In Kudo Shizuka's opinion, what's the point of being an artist, no matter how popular you are, you are just a money-making tool for the upper class to play with.

If she could marry Hanyu Hideki, even if she couldn't become a wealthy wife, she could easily break out of the category of an artist and become something above an artist.

As a popular idol in the Yunshang system, she also knows some inside information.

For example, how could Kyoko Koizumi from the Burning Department set up her own agency and sign so many graduates from the Produce Camp among so many competitors?

Another example...

Thinking of Kyoko Koizumi, Shizuka Kudo remembered a piece of news that had just spread recently.

That is Akina Nakamori, the "absolute number one" of Yunshang Entertainment, who was rumored to be retiring.

Being as famous as Akina Nakamori, the interests involved are so huge and the relationships are so deep that everything about the individual is no longer under her control. How can she easily retire?

But the news got out anyway.

The most important thing is that no one inside stood up to oppose it.

You don’t have to guess who can withstand the backlash of Akina Nakamori’s retirement.

She tried to ask Noriko Sakai, "Noriko, do you know the rumor that Nakamori-senpai is going to retire?"

"Of course I heard about it, but I don't know whether it's true or not. My agent told me not to ask about it."

Noriko Sakai told everyone she knew honestly.

But after she finished speaking, she added in a low voice, "But I feel it is true."

"Well, so what if it's true? It has nothing to do with us anyway. For artists like us, the more popular we become, the more we have no control over our own affairs. Unless we can't make any money in the end, we have to keep working for the company."

After Kudo Shizuka's involuntary sigh, the desire to cling to someone became stronger.

In contrast, Noriko Sakai has a much simpler mind.

"Why think so much? Anyway, I am very satisfied with my current life."

When hearing Noriko Sakai's words, a hint of contempt flashed in Kudo Shizuka's eyes.

Then she deliberately said, "Fazi, I just met a friend in the industry recently, he is a very talented screenwriter. Since he is your fan, he wants to get to know you through me. How about having dinner together someday when we have time?"

Noriko Sakai replied very simply, "Since he is Shizuka's friend, he must be a good person. It's okay to get to know him."

"That's great." Shizuka Kudo immediately pretended to be happy.

She said that the screenwriter was very talented and was a fan of Noriko Sakai, and she was not lying.

However, she would not tell Noriko Sakai that this screenwriter was a scumbag who seemed talented on the surface but was actually dissolute, had no bottom line, and no sense of responsibility in private.

The so-called liking for Noriko Sakai's songs is just an excuse. In fact, it is just that he thinks Noriko Sakai is ignorant and wants to deceive girls' feelings.

This person actually wanted to pursue her at the beginning.

However, after she saw through his true colors, he not only rejected her tactfully, but also maintained a distant relationship with her, so that he could take advantage of her if there was an opportunity in the future.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Don't be fooled by her good relationship with Noriko Sakai.

But in her heart, she regards Noriko Sakai as the biggest threat to her career.

After all, in Shizuka Kudo's opinion, although there are many female idols in Yunshang Entertainment, there are not many who are truly suitable for all-round development.

She considers herself one.

Noriko Sakai is another one she thinks of.

Especially after the news of Akina Nakamori's retirement was announced.

Yunshang Entertainment is likely to choose a "Queen" successor for Akina Nakamori.

Then Noriko Sakai would be a greater threat to her.

So, she had to find a way to destroy Noriko Sakai.

After such a long period of contact, she has already seen that Noriko Sakai is a person with a simple mind, who cares particularly about what others think and subconsciously wants to please others.

If you want to ruin such a girl, the best way is to introduce a scumbag boyfriend to her.

After that, she doesn't have to worry about anything. Noriko Sakai will destroy herself in order to please men.

Thinking of this, Shizuka Kudo said enthusiastically to Noriko Sakai.

"Since Fazi agrees, I can arrange a time for you to meet. What do you think Fazi..."

Just when Shizuka Kudo was about to ask Noriko Sakai when she would be free to meet.

At this time, they were returning to the girls' accommodation area and happened to pass by the parking lot of the training base.

A familiar car caught Shizuka Kudo's eye, and immediately made her stop what she was about to say.

Noriko Sakai, who was standing next to her, noticed that Shizuka Kudo suddenly stopped talking, and asked curiously, "Shizuka, why don't you say anything?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something else. There's no rush to meet up. Tell me when you're free. It's getting late, so let's go back to the apartment and rest."

After saying this, Kudo Shizuka deliberately quickened her pace and walked towards the accommodation area with Sakai Noriko.

She recognized that the black SUV definitely belonged to Hideki Hanyu.

It's so late and the car is here, which means Hideki Hanyu himself is also at the training base.

Thinking of her goal, and recalling that Hideki Hanyu has always treated Noriko Sakai with a good attitude.

Shizuka Kudo just wanted to take Noriko Sakai away first and didn't want Noriko Sakai to discover the car, although she didn't know whether Noriko Sakai knew the car.

But when it comes to her ultimate goal, no caution is too much.

Even the matter of introducing a scumbag to destroy Noriko Sakai can be temporarily postponed.
