Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 581: News from the Tokyo Electric Exhibition, Going to the Thames to Brainwash

America, California.

Date, March 16th.

In a private maternity center in Los Angeles, accompanied by the sound of a baby crying, Hideki Hanyu's second daughter was born.

Looking at the little life with wrinkled skin placed on the small bed by the nurse.

Hideki Hanyu had to admit that compared to the birth of his eldest daughter, he was actually much calmer at this moment.

Of course, there is joy.

On the big bed next to her, Kuroki Hitomi, who looked a little pale, turned around and asked Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-kun, do you like her?"

"Of course I do."

Hanyu Hideki said as he stepped forward and held Kuroki Hitomi's hand.

Kuroki Hitomi's delivery this time was much more difficult than Liu Xiaoli's. She even chose a caesarean section because she was unable to give birth naturally.

Not only does she look weaker now, but her postpartum recovery time is also destined to be longer.

At this moment, the woman is obviously very fragile both physically and mentally, and needs rest and comfort from her loved one.

Hanyu Hideki naturally understood this. After passing the warmth of his palm to Kuroki Hitomi, he continued in a gentle tone.

"I've already thought of a name for my daughter. How about Xiwu?"

Kuroki Hitomi whispered, "Hanyu Yubu?"

Hanyu Hideki affirmed, "Yes, what do you think, Hitomi-chan?"

Hitomi Kuroki asked softly, "Hanyu-kun, do you want her to learn dance in the future?"

"There's nothing specific about it, it's just a beautiful metaphor. She's our child, and she can do whatever she wants with her life."

Hideki Hanyu spoke with confidence.

There are some things he can't give, but there are some things he will never lack.

"It sounds wonderful." Kuroki Hitomi's voice was a little weak.

Hanyu Hideki patted Kuroki Hitomi's hand and said, "Hitomi-chan, you should have a good rest. We can talk about anything after you recover a little."

"Ah."

Hideki Hanyu holding her hand and staying by her side undoubtedly gave Hitomi Kuroki a great sense of security.

Not long after, the woman fell into a deep sleep.

Only then did Hanyu Hideki let go of his hand and slowly walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Daichi Mao, who had been waiting, came up and asked, "She fell asleep?"

"I just fell asleep." Hanyu Hideki replied.

Daichi Mao said with concern, "Hanyu-san has been guarding for so long, it's time to go back and rest."

"You've been guarding for so long, let's go back together. There are people taking care of us here, and they will notify us when Tong-chan wakes up."

"Alright."

In this way, the two returned together to the mansion that Hideki Hanyu had just purchased in Beverly Hills.

The mansion now has a new name, Red Maple Manor.

In order to accompany the birth of his mother, Hideki Hanyu stayed in the hospital for two days and two nights, and he really needed to wash up and rest.

But when he finished his shower and returned to the bedroom, he drew the curtains to make the bedroom dark, and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.

The door was suddenly opened.

With the light from outside the door, you can see a woman wearing silk pajamas, with a graceful figure and voluptuous curves walking in.

The door was closed, and soon after that, Hanyu Hideki felt a delicate body pressing against him.

Along with it came a familiar voice.

"I want to relax, and I think you should, too."

……

March 17th.

Hideki Hanyu had just delivered the chef's special postpartum meal to Hitomi Kuroki's room. He sat by the bed and fed her a few bites when his secretary found him with a mobile phone.

The task of feeding can only be taken over by Daichi Mao.

He went outside to answer the phone.

The person who comes to see him at this time must have nothing else to do except work.

Sure enough, it was a call from Kitahara Eri.

In fact, Hanyu Hideki and Kitahara Eri talked on the phone yesterday because of the birth of their daughter.

In today's phone call, Eri Kitahara mainly told Hideki Hanyu that the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition has opened in Tokyo.

Of course, some of the competitors' movements were also mentioned.

"Today, Nintendo announced their latest peripherals at the Tokyo Electric Show, which can make the SFC console compatible with 8-bit consoles. At the same time, they also announced again that they will abandon the development of first-party 8-bit games from today on."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Is Nintendo the last one?"

Kitahara Eri replied, "Yes, Sega announced last year that it would give up developing 8-bit games. Now, except for some small companies, all major companies have given up developing 8-bit games."

"The era of 8-bit machines is over!" Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but sigh.

In today's time and space, influenced by the rise of Elf Entertainment, the development of the game market has become completely different from that in another time and space.

In the original time and space, although after the birth of the Sega MD console, the sixteen-bit machine was popular among many players.

But due to Nintendo's strength, 8-bit games have remained popular.

Eight-bit games continued to have a large market until the end of the 1980s.

Even because of the cooperation between Hudson and NEC, the most powerful eight-bit machine in history, the 'PC Engine', was born. This is the PCE that is regarded as a treasure by many players and later ported many 18+ games.

Of course, the PCE GT, a color handheld game console that is compatible with PCE, is also a masterpiece.

Of course, PCE still exists in this space and time.

No matter how powerful Elf Entertainment is, no matter how fierce the war between Elf Entertainment and Nintendo is.

The world is big enough and there is room for other manufacturers to survive.

Even in the European and American markets, which are already dominated by Elf Entertainment, Elf Entertainment's market share is only hovering around 80 percent.

But the problem is that the console overlord of this time and space, Elf Entertainment, does not have an 8-bit machine.

When Elf Entertainment took the lead and first pushed game consoles into the 16-bit era, other manufacturers had to follow suit in order not to fall behind.

So, the 8-bit era ended ahead of schedule.

At this time, Kitahara Eri said again.

"Nintendo has no choice but to give up. The two manufacturers that produce 8-bit cartridges for Nintendo have accepted President Iwata's offer and officially announced that they will be acquired by Elf Entertainment. The production plants of these two manufacturers in Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore will be handed over to us soon."

Hanyu Hideki exclaimed, "Iwata Satoshi is really fast."

Kitahara Eri said, "Not only is it fast, but it is also very numerous. As far as I know, President Iwata has officially arranged more than 160 acquisitions in content and production this year."

"You seem very motivated." Hanyu Hideki said with a smile.

"Isn't it a bit too risky to expand so drastically?" Kitahara Eri was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. I've looked at those plans. There's no big problem." Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly.

Although Japan's bubble economy will be over next year.

The bursting of the bubble and the economic downturn are of course huge disasters for most industries.

But these industries do not include the entertainment industry.

This is also the reason why the entertainment industry flourished against the trend in the 1990s when the neon economy entered its disappearing decade.

When social and economic development is poor, people tend to reduce expensive consumption, such as luxury goods, overseas travel, etc.

They will turn to less expensive entertainment activities that can quickly help them escape reality.

This is also the reason why Japan’s TV drama industry, music industry, animation industry, and video games all ushered in a new golden age in the 1990s.

This is also the reason why Hideki Hanyu is not worried.

Take a look at his industrial layout. Whether it is Cloud Entertainment or Elf Entertainment, they are both entertainment industries that were able to take off during the bubble economy period and continue to flourish after the bubble burst.

"Well, since Hanyu-san knows what's going on, I don't have to worry about it. But the main booth of this year's Tokyo Electric Exhibition has been cancelled, and many manufacturers have announced their latest products at their booths for the first time. President Iwata seems to have encountered some troubles, so you'd better communicate with him."

In response to Kitahara Eri's reminder, Hanyu Hideki said he knew.

Kitahara Eri is now in charge of the work of Elf Communication and is not allowed to participate too much in the business of Elf Entertainment.

Therefore, it was inappropriate for her to communicate directly with Hanyu Hideki regarding some matters involving Elf Entertainment, so she reminded Hanyu Hideki to contact Iwata Satoshi.

At the reminder of Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu immediately called Satoru Iwata after chatting with Eri Kitahara about the construction progress of Pokemon Park.

After the call was connected, Satoru Iwata first talked about the situation of Nintendo and Sega at the Tokyo Electric Show.

As a game developer by profession, Satoru Iwata is more concerned about the trends of these two companies in the release of new games.

According to Satoru Iwata, the new games from the two companies are still very threatening to Elf Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu was not surprised by this.

Although he had copied many classic IPs of the two companies, there were so many hot-selling games throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s that he couldn't copy them all even if he tried to vomit blood.

Even if he had the energy and time, he couldn't fit all the games into his head.

For many hot-selling games from the 1980s and 1990s, he had only seen a name on the sales chart. It was undoubtedly a fantasy to expect him to restore the entire game based on a name.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Capcom’s classic game “Mega Man” which sold well last year. He had only seen it in his previous life but never played it much.

Of course, Capcom has now signed an exclusive agreement with Pokemon Entertainment, and all games will be released on the Pokemon platform.

Capcom makes money, and Pokemon Entertainment also makes a lot of money.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu will not easily copy games unless it is necessary.

Rather than copying the game, it would be better for Elf Entertainment to maintain its current platform advantages and use the platform to make money, which is a sure win.

However, during the conversation, Iwata also talked about the current development of technology.

"The manufacturer that manufactures the cartridges for us has made a breakthrough in the 2MB cartridge technology. They will be able to provide mass-produced products within two months at the earliest, and the cost can be kept within a reasonable range."

Hanyu Hideki said, "So, disk drives will be eliminated."

Think about this time last year, disk drives were still the flagship products of major manufacturers.

After all, the floppy disk had over 1MB of memory, which was simply incomparable to the cassettes at the time.

Who would have thought that in just one year the capacity of cassette tapes would reach the 2MB level.

Even a 2MB cartridge costs more than a floppy disk.

However, when combined with storage technology, the convenience of playing RPG games and the cost of peripherals far exceed those of disk drives and floppy disks.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Hideki Hanyu's face.

The 2MB cartridge was the carrier of many -in- and -in- cartridge games he had played in his previous life. It not only carried the games, but also his childhood.

From this, it can be inferred that domestic copycat game consoles should have started to develop by now.

In the past, the "easy-to-access" performance of the Nintendo FC console allowed a large number of semiconductor manufacturers in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries to easily launch alternative electronic accessories.

The birth of these accessories indirectly promoted the birth of many copycat game console manufacturers.

In this life, although the PS console technology of Elf Entertainment is a little more difficult than that of the 8-bit machine, he simply does not believe that the semiconductor manufacturers in Southeast Asia cannot produce alternative accessories.

The counterfeit business is not something that only appeared in Huaqiangbei in mainland China.

In the early years, Japan copied Europe and the United States, and later South Korea and Southeast Asia copied Japan. Everything is just a cycle.

However, according to an investigation by the legal department of Genie Entertainment, Genie Entertainment's copycat products in Southeast Asia are actually far inferior to Nintendo's products.

The reason is not technology but cost.

Elf Entertainment has basically suppressed its profits to the limit through its exaggerated production.

Given that the accessories themselves are more expensive than those of an 8-bit machine, it is actually very difficult for copycat manufacturers to maintain profits when making copycat PS consoles.

The market for copycat consoles is actually concentrated in some underdeveloped areas, where consumers are only sensitive to prices and don't care that much about games.

They don't pay attention to professional gaming magazines, nor do they pay attention to the world's mainstream gaming information, let alone any large or small gaming exhibitions.

For these consumers, just having games to play is enough.

As for whether this game is the best game, it doesn’t matter at all.

Nintendo's FC console is easy to copy and the quality of the games itself is not bad, so it naturally became the first target of a large number of copycat manufacturers.

In this situation, a very interesting thing happened.

That is, it is obvious that in the mainstream market, Nintendo has been defeated by Elf Entertainment and its game reputation has been completely crushed.

But in a market dominated by copycat game consoles, Nintendo is the real big manufacturer, and Nintendo's games are the most popular games.

On the surface, this is certainly a good thing for Elf Entertainment.

After all, no one wants to be taken advantage of for free.

But looking at the long term, Hanyu Hideki has some concerns.

The market is there. If you don't seize it, someone else will naturally do so.

Direct revenue from consoles and cartridges is of course important.

However, the indirect cultivation of potential users of brand recognition, IP recognition, and copyright cultural value is equally important.

He sometimes considers whether he should proactively enter the market early with a certain strategy, even if this strategy seems to have limited profits now.

But it's just an idea after all.

This is also something that Nintendo has never done in its previous life.

Therefore, he still wanted to wait until he returned to Neon to have a face-to-face discussion with Iwata and the top management of Elf Entertainment. At this time, Iwata talked about another matter, interrupting Hanyu Hideki's thoughts.

"President, have you heard of the PCE host?"

"Of course, the console that Hudson and NEC developed last year, this seems to be an 8-bit machine, is it still for sale?"

Hideki Hanyu was just thinking about this NEC console, but now Satoru Iwata brought it up again.

Iwata explained, "The hardware configuration of this machine is very good, and some aspects use a 16-bit architecture, so it cannot be simply called an 8-bit machine."

Hanyu Hideki said, "It seems that it is still on sale. NEC's technical level is very good, and Hudson's game development ability is excellent. It is not surprising that it can gain a certain market share."

When Elf Entertainment was starting out, it was once harassed by NEC over its accessories. The technical strength of this Japanese semiconductor manufacturer is unquestionable.

As for Hudson, Gold Digger, Bomberman, and Takahashi's MapleStory, they are all classic games under their name, and the copyrights of these make Hideki Hanyu very envious.

"At this year's Tokyo Electric Exhibition, the PCE host booth was the booth that gave the most surprises to the outside world." Satoru Iwata said in a heavy tone.

Hanyu Hideki immediately became interested and asked curiously, "What new things have they come up with?"

"They released a new peripheral for the PCE console called CDROM2, which was a peripheral that could run 650MB game CDs.

In addition to console peripherals, they also launched a color handheld game console that is compatible with PCE console games. Whether in terms of color performance or battery life, it is not inferior to our color version of the Elf handheld game console."

It can be heard that Iwata's tone is serious and he is obviously very wary of PCE's new product.

But after listening to it, Hanyu Hideki didn't feel nervous at all, and was even in the mood to make a joke.

"That sounds great. If Nintendo's hardware department had such good technology, they wouldn't have used compatible peripherals to solve the 8-bit cartridge problem."

"President, we must take this matter seriously."

Iwata was speechless about his president's "rough approach". He thought to himself, doesn't Hanyu Hideki have any worries at all?

Listening to Iwata's serious tone on the phone, Hanyu Hideki seemed to see the equally serious expression of his own president.

In order not to further provoke Iwata, he finally spoke in a more serious manner.

"Okay, okay, Iwata-san, don't be nervous. If you have any concerns, just tell me directly."

Iwata said, "First of all, the CD peripheral has a capacity of 650MB, which is enough to put all the CD tracks, animations, and voice-overs into the game. This is exactly the same as our design goal for the PS2 console."

Hanyu Hideki said, “Well, what else?”

Iwata said, "This peripheral can not only be used on PCE consoles, but is also compatible with other console platforms, including our PS consoles."

Hanyu Hideki said, "It sounds good, but our legal department won't agree to it."

Iwata said, "That's not the point. This peripheral can not only run games, but also play CDs. Once it is linked with other console manufacturers, it will pose a great threat to us."

After hearing all this, Hanyu Hideki still said in a calm tone, "Mr. Iwata's concerns are reasonable, but I don't think there is any need to worry too much."

"Please speak, President." Iwata said respectfully.

Today, after Iwata saw the situation at the PEC booth, these issues have been worrying him a lot.

But now, even after hearing his concerns, Hanyu Hideki still looked confident.

It has to be said that as the founder of Elf Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu's steady attitude immediately made Iwata feel a lot more at ease.

After all, Hideki Hanyu has created so many miracles.

Everyone in Elf Entertainment couldn't help but develop some blind trust in Hideki Hanyu.

“The emergence of CD peripherals certainly overlaps with our future strategy in some aspects, but they are still different in essence.

If CDs can be so easily used in game consoles, why do we have to invest huge amounts of money in research and development every year?
Not to mention the issues of dedicated read-only CDs to prevent piracy and wear, how to cooperate with the host for archiving, and the CD game host system, just talking about dedicated optical drive accessories, we still haven't been able to reduce the cost to less than 10,000 yen.

So I want to ask, how much do they sell this peripheral for?"

Iwata replied, "The public price of the booth is 55,000 yen."

"As I expected." Hanyu Hideki showed an understanding look on his face.

In the past, this set of peripherals for PCE hosts discouraged many consumers because of their extremely high prices.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki continued to speak to Iwata Satoshi.

“Judging from their price, they certainly haven’t done much technical optimization on CD games, and are just using the existing technology of PCE consoles.

In this case, they are unable to solve the system compatibility problem in the first place. If they want to be compatible with different game consoles, they have to develop different adapter devices separately.

The peripherals plus the adapters are enough to buy three different consoles. In this case, why don’t consumers just buy three consoles? "

The high cost of use alone doomed this peripheral to failure.”

Upon hearing this, Iwata expressed a different opinion, "But 650MB of game capacity is enough to cause a qualitative change."

"Mr. Iwata, your attention is completely attracted by the capacity that the peripheral can provide, but you ignore that it is just a peripheral. A host is still needed to run the game.

The improvement in gaming performance is certainly affected by the capacity of the game, but the decisive factor lies in the performance of the console.

Even if someone puts a 3D game into a CD, is there any console now that can display 3D game effects?
With the current console performance, I estimate it will take at least ten minutes to load such a huge game.

Rather than worrying about someone using this peripheral to develop better games, it is better to worry about someone using this peripheral to make pirated games.

After all, 640MB is enough to install most games on the market, of course he must first get an emulator that is compatible with all games. "

Hideki Hanyu's final joking complaint made Satoshi Iwata couldn't help but smile.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu's words did dispel most of his concerns.

When he saw someone launching a CD peripheral, Iwata felt that the future strategy of Elf Entertainment was affected, and he suddenly lost his mind and ignored some simple problems that he should have noticed.

However, after Hanyu Hideki started complaining, things got out of control.

“Another point is that this peripheral can be used as a CD device. I would actually like to ask the person in charge of developing this device.

Sony tried its best but failed to promote CD content. Where did it get the confidence that there would be so much content to play after its device was launched?

Another problem is that in the absence of an independent gaming system, they must ensure that the memory of the peripherals remains unchanged, otherwise they will never be able to launch a new generation of peripherals.

Otherwise, once it is released, all the game CDs developed before will be incompatible. What should we do then? Develop another compatible peripheral, or a peripheral within a peripheral?
Ha ha! "

In the end, Hideki Hanyu was amused by his own "genius" idea.

Iwata then said with emotion, "After being evaluated in this way by the president, I feel that there seems to be a big problem with PCE's product design."

“That’s right, PCE’s peripherals are actually taking shortcuts, not trying to solve the fundamental problem, but just trying to use an easier method to achieve the goal.

If this kind of product manager were in Elf Entertainment, Satoru Iwata would fire him immediately.

I still say the same thing, if developing peripherals is useful, why should we invest huge amounts of money to develop the host?

The reason why peripherals are peripherals is that they are always just supplements to the main body. We can use peripherals to add icing on the cake, but we should not think of using them to sublimate the main body. "

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he already recalled the series of messes that PCE had done with this peripheral.

Directly treating peripherals as platforms, they later designed all-in-one peripheral host machines and all-in-one machines with screens. The product portfolio is just like Transformers.

After eight or nine generations of product iterations, a giant host that can run LD discs was made.

What about the effect?
Some players have a good reputation, but the market is just so-so.

When playing alone, there are only five or six types of games on the entire PCE platform.

What else can I say? I can only say that NEC is a big company and can withstand the turmoil.

"President, what about the PCE handheld game console? I have to say that NEC's technology is really excellent. At least its performance is better than our Phantom handheld game console."

Iwata then expressed another concern.

"Regarding the PCE handheld, I don't care how much it sells for. I just want to ask, since they can design games that are compatible with the PCE console, why don't they just cooperate with Nintendo?

In today's Hudson, apart from those few outdated games, is there any game that is worth spending a lot of money to buy an expensive color handheld game console?"

When Hanyu Hideki said this, Hanyu Hideki became serious.

"Mr. Iwata, what I actually want to say is that from the very beginning, Elf Entertainment was not successful simply by relying on games or the performance of the aircraft alone.

If our opponents think they can defeat us with just a few advantages, they are wrong.

To put it a little less enthusiastically, even if we don't develop a new console right now, our powerful game library is enough to maintain our console and handheld advantages for at least five years, and we can make a lot of money without doing anything.

But why should we spend money and energy, risk failure, always maintain the best technical performance, constantly iterate the platform, and develop the next-generation console with completely different storage media? "

Hideki Hanyu did not intend for Iwata to answer this question.

So after he asked the question, he quickly gave the answer.

"Because we have to uphold the responsibilities of true game developers, we cannot let down the players' love and trust in us, and we must firmly uphold Elf Entertainment's belief that "life goes on, games don't stop."

If we always maintain this attitude, we will have everything.

If you lose your attitude, you lose everything."

……

In Tokyo, Iwata hung up the phone.

I quietly opened my notebook and wrote down these two lines.

[With attitude, you have everything; without attitude, you lose everything - Hideki Hanyu]

Iwata thought that he should ask someone to write this sentence tomorrow and hang it in his office so that all senior executives can see it when they come to see him.

Although Hideki Hanyu has always disliked personal worship in the company, nor does he like to let his subordinates hang his portraits or write what he calls "famous quotes."

But Iwata felt that some respect was necessary.

Hideki Hanyu, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea that he was about to be "hanged" by a subordinate who "acted on his own initiative".

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care at the moment.

After feeding his subordinate a bowl of hot chicken blood, he was now in the ward, helping his second daughter deal with her first poop in her life.

Although it has no smell, the color is in a bad state.

His serious and non-disdainful look not only made Kuroki Hitomi, who had just become a mother, feel interesting, but also felt extremely safe and happy in her heart.

At least this man is so brilliant on the outside.

I would be willing to do these things for my daughter.

……

Hideki Hanyu started his life as a stay-at-home dad again, and time passed quickly until March 22nd.

Although Hitomi Kuroki had a caesarean section, she recovered well and the medical center announced that she could be discharged one week after giving birth.

However, even after being discharged from the hospital, Kuroki Hitomi will be accompanied by a private medical team hired by Hanyu Hideki, who will continue to monitor Kuroki until she fully recovers.

Of course, living back in Red Maple Manor would at least be much more convenient than living in the hospital.

It's not just pregnant women, Hideki Hanyu is the same.

For example, when you are on the phone for work, you don't need to be annoyed by the poor signal on your mobile phone.

In the living room of Maple Manor, Hitomi Kuroki walks around with the help of Mao Daichi.

Hideki Hanyu sat on the sofa next to him, speaking in a genuine London accent and cursing at a scapegoat in the UK.

"You idiot! Such a wonderful season is ruined because of your stupidity!

How dare you call me and ask me what to do? You should go to the Thames and wash your brain!

What? The Thames is in London, so please jump into the Irwell!
......"

Hanyu Hideki's cursing became louder and louder, causing Kuroki Hitomi and Daichi Mao next to him to look sideways from time to time, but they had no idea what was going on, and it was even more inappropriate for them to rashly say a few words of concern at this moment.

As for why Hideki Hanyu was so angry.

The reason is a hot news that just broke out in the British media.

As for the content of the news, it was certainly not the Johnny's pedophilia scandal.

Without his support in the UK, no one would care about that kind of Japanese news in two or three days at most. Now that so much time has passed, there is naturally no news about it.

The hot news he was referring to was that a certain reporter, while investigating in Manchester, unexpectedly discovered that a certain Manchester United fan organization was conducting private ticket transactions with Manchester United executives.

The process sounds mysterious and complicated, but in essence it is just selling the welfare tickets provided by Manchester United Club to fans at high prices for profit.

This so-called fan organization is the Manchester United Shareholders Association, which holds a small number of shares in the Manchester United club.

The club executive who had a private deal with him was Manchester United chairman Green Laws.

Therefore, the person that Hideki Hanyu was cursing at this time was Green Laws, his scapegoat at Manchester United.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu cursed Green-Rouse was not because Green-Rouse provided welfare tickets to fan organizations.

After all, he tacitly approved Green Laws's actions, and the main purpose was to prevent these fan organizations from continuing to "bark" in protest.

Giving some "insignificant" benefits to the leaders of fan organizations can make the organizations led by these people shut up, which is a great deal for Hideki Hanyu.

But the problem is, it's just a small matter.

What Green Laws did was actually discovered and reported by reporters.

Although he was the scapegoat sent by him, he is still the chairman of Manchester United after all, and he has no dignity at all.

Originally at Manchester United club, Hideki Hanyu was in a very good mood this year.

Because with his financial support, Ferguson, who was only in his second year leading Manchester United, began to help Manchester United regain its form.

It is now the end of the English League One season. Manchester United is still firmly in second place in the English League One standings, keeping up with Liverpool, who set a 29-game unbeaten record at the start of the season.

The 87/88 season, which everyone thought would be a one-man show for Liverpool, was dragged into a "Red Devils Derby" that no one expected.

Although the outside world generally believes that Liverpool will win the championship.

But it does not mean that at such a critical moment, Manchester United's own chairman can hold Manchester United back off the field.

It just so happens that this chairman who is holding back is Hideki Hanyu's man.

No matter how bad Green Laws' reputation is outside, Green Laws has just done a lot for Hideki Hanyu.

Now Hideki Hanyu has to find a way to keep this idiot.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu finally understood the frustration that Manchester United executives in the future had to feel when they had to watch Ten Hag perform tricks while supporting that guy.
