Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 591 Find an Excuse
Osaka Itami International Airport.

In front of the private plane passage, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Yasuko Sawaguchi as he was about to depart.

"Jingzi's family is still in Kobe, so let's go and spend the holiday with them first. I'm going to Hong Kong for work this time and will be back in two or three days."

Sawaguchi Yasuko was burying her head in Hanyu Hideki's arms and acting like a spoiled child, "But I want to be with Hideki-kun."

Hanyu Hideki patiently advised, "Be obedient. Wait until I come back from Hong Kong. I'm going to Europe next. I'll take you with me then, okay?"

"Really?" When she heard that she could go to Europe, Yasuko Sawaguchi immediately became excited.

"of course it's true."

"It's settled then. Have a safe trip, Hideki-kun."

"Jingzi, go home quickly."

"Goodbye."

……

Seeing that Yasuko Sawaguchi was finally persuaded to leave and go to Kobe to continue her vacation with her family, Hideki Hanyu had to admit that this girl was becoming more and more attached to him.

Although as a man, he enjoyed this feeling.

But there is a saying that goes, no matter how good something is, you will get tired of it if you eat too much of it.

In the audience's mind, the goddess with the beautiful face of the Showa era is someone that a scumbag can now hug and fall asleep in at night without any reaction.

During the two days of rest in Osaka, it was Yasuko Sawaguchi who took the initiative.

Although the girl was still a "weakling" and was beaten to the point of begging for mercy by the scumbag with a stick in just a few strokes, her indomitable spirit was growing stronger and stronger.

The 'Spirit' took off from Osaka and landed safely at Kai Tak Airport four hours later.

At the exit of the terminal, Hideki Hanyu and his entourage just walked out and saw his subordinates who came to pick them up.

This time when he came to Hong Kong, apart from meeting John Chambers, he did not arrange any work for the business of Yunshang Entertainment and Jingling Entertainment.

The main thing is that Yunshang Entertainment’s strategic layout in Asia has been preliminarily completed, and what needs to be done next is just stable development, so he doesn’t need to worry too much.

Especially the Hong Kong market, although it is the headquarters of Cloud Entertainment (Asia), the market size is not large.

As a fierce new company that has entered the market, Yunshang Entertainment has invested a little money and its tentacles have now penetrated into all walks of life.

Whether it is TV stations, records, cinemas, or video rentals, they basically all have powerful influence.

In other words, the production market is troublesome and makes little money, so Yunshang Entertainment did not get involved.

Moreover, compared to Hong Kong, Yunshang Entertainment has recently invested a lot of energy in Taiwan because Hideki Hanyu has established connections with high-level people in Taiwan.

After all, it will be one of the important markets in Asia for a long time to come.

As for Elf Entertainment, he now has even less to worry about because the company has already been on the track of healthy development.

Elf Entertainment’s three major game platforms plus electronic pets have a large number of games and products launched every month.

Unless he immediately transforms into Superman, he has no ability to control it.

The only thing we can do is to guide companies to avoid making mistakes in the general direction.

With the current size of Elf Entertainment, as long as it can ensure that it stays on the right track, the possibility of its competitors defeating Elf Entertainment will become increasingly smaller.

Of course, the fact that there are no work arrangements for the Cloud Department and the Elf Department does not mean that there are no work arrangements in other areas.

Today is April 4th. He will stay in Hong Kong for the next few days. It is impossible for him to spend all the time meeting John Chambers. Naturally, he has other things to do.

After getting on the Bentley Mulsanne that was picked up at the airport, Hanyu Hideki asked his subordinates in the Hong Kong branch, "When you went to Repulse Bay to pick up the car, was there anyone at No. 89?"

"Ms. Zhang is at home." the subordinate replied.

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Isn't she working recently?"

The subordinate who picked us up at the airport was from the Yunshang Entertainment branch, so he was quite familiar with the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"Yes, Miss Zhang's two films last year had very good box office and response, so Yongsheng assigned her more work this year." The subordinate replied quickly.

"Then let's take number 89." Hanyu Hideki instructed Marco who was driving.

Why did he have to go to No. 89? It was because Hanyu Hideki knew that since Zhang Qi was at home when he picked up the car, the other party must have known that he came to Hong Kong, and it would be unreasonable not to go to No. 89.

After arranging the address, Hanyu Hideki asked Chiba Kaoru beside him, "When is the date for the meeting with John Chambers?"

Qianye Xun replied, "It will definitely be tomorrow, but the exact time has not yet been decided."

"Then let's do it in the morning. Let's find a dim sum shop and I'll treat him to Hong Kong-style dim sum." Hanyu Hideki arranged.

Although he himself thinks highly of John Chambers.

But now, neither the outside world nor John Chambers himself thinks that their status and influence are equal.

Hideki Hanyu's initiative to invite can definitely be regarded as "respecting the wise and humble".

In fact, after problems arose within Wang Laboratories, John Chambers' attitude towards Hideki Hanyu's persistent poaching of employees had clearly softened.

This time, Hideki Hanyu wanted to meet with him, and John Chambers agreed quite readily.

This is enough to prove that John Chambers no longer resists the invitation from Hideki Hanyu.

"Okay." Chiba Xun replied.

Hanyu Hideki continued to instruct, "On April 31, I will hold a party at No. Baijiadao. Send out invitations according to the list I gave you before."

He, who doesn't like throwing parties, suddenly held one, which must have been for some unusual purpose.

Moreover, the only people in Hong Kong who are qualified to be invited by him are naturally the upper class people who are either rich or noble.

As for his purpose.

In addition to some business cooperation, the main purpose is to take over real estate in Tokyo.

Although he has sold some of his industrial land since the beginning of the year, it is obviously still not enough.

Taking advantage of the fact that a Hong Kong businessman had already completed a transaction with him, and the land price immediately increased slightly after the transaction was completed, he naturally had to promote the land well with such a successful example in mind.

After all, he had accumulated a lot of land in the past few years without any care.

As land prices rise, the paper profits seem considerable.

But the problem is that the paper profits are meaningless to him unless they go into his pocket, and he still has to bear heavy loans.

In addition, in 1988, the rising price of Neon Industrial land was about to stabilize, and with the stock market bubble, if he didn't take action, the land would be a waste of money.

After all, with such a huge real estate investment, it is impossible to try extreme operations and sell off in a short period of time when the real estate price reaches its peak.

Therefore, even he has to stand up and shout a few times, and help himself cash in as soon as possible.

For his future plans, stocks and real estate are all empty words, and only cash flow is the most important.

Faced with his arrangement, Chiba Xun quickly agreed, and took out the list again and reviewed it with him again.

After finishing all this, Hanyu Hideki asked, "How is the business of the Vigorous convenience store in Xiangjiang now?"

When Qianye Xun heard this question, he quickly looked through his notebook and answered after a moment, "Since the Central store opened in February, the number of people who have applied for formal membership has exceeded 16,000."

Hearing this number, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but be amazed.

Vigorous's business model in Hong Kong is still high-end with high consumption, and it does not adopt a compulsory membership system. Therefore, even if you do not apply for a membership card, you can still enter the store to shop.

It’s just that in order to highlight the gap between members and non-members, members can enjoy some conveniences, such as separate fast checkout channels, member lounges, member-only shopping areas, etc.

In addition to the processing fee and deposit, applying for a membership card also requires a certain amount of deposit in advance. On average, it costs at least HK$2,000 per person.

For rich people, this is certainly not a big number.

But with more than 16,000 people applying for the cards, Vigorous alone had an additional HK$30 million in working capital.

No wonder retailers like to have membership deposit systems.

It is not only for retaining customers and increasing consumption stickiness, but the pre-deposited funds received alone are a valuable asset.

Putting aside other things, just according to the super high interest rates offered by the banks in Japan today, the interest alone of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars deposited in the bank would earn several million Hong Kong dollars each year.

It goes without saying how important working capital is to a business.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that using the name of the British royal family is really useful in Hong Kong. Don't arrange work for the day after tomorrow. I want to go to Vigorous' store to take a look." Hanyu Hideki planned to go and see it with his own eyes. If the situation is really good, then he must consider expansion next.

After all, he knows that the next few decades will be an era of great economic growth around the world, and the high-end route will continue to be popular for a long time.

"Okay, Mr. Hanyu." Chiba Kaoru agreed and immediately wrote down the itinerary in her notebook.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki instructed again, "When you get home later, call Luo Zhaohui and Deng Jiaming and ask them if they are free today. If they are not, come to Room 89 and I will treat them to dinner."

Chiba Kaoru replied, "Okay."

"By the way, don't forget the gift I brought from Neon."

"Teacher Hanyu, it's already in the trunk of the car."

……

Just like that, while Hideki Hanyu and Kaoru Chiba were talking all the way, the Bentley Mulsanne had already arrived at No. 89 Repulse Bay.

He had just got out of the car and hadn't even walked out of the garage when he saw a beautiful woman walking quickly towards him. Who else could it be but Zhang Qi.

When the beauty came closer, she put her arms around Hanyu Hideki's neck and gave him a passionate kiss without saying a word.

When the two of them parted their lips, the people around them had already disappeared with a look of respect.

It's just a kiss, how can a scumbag be satisfied?

He opened the car door and carried Zhang Qi in.

boom--

Not long after the door of the Bentley Mulsanne was slammed shut, the entire car body began to shake rhythmically.

……

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Zhang Qi, who was disheveled, got out of the car and said coquettishly to Hanyu Hideki.

"You dragged someone into the car in broad daylight. You are such a scoundrel and pervert."

The scumbag with a satisfied look on his face bit back, "That's your fault too. Who told you to flirt with me as soon as we met?"

"How could I have that?" The beauty refused.

The scumbag pretended to be surprised, "It was obviously you who kissed me first, so many people saw it, do you want me to find someone to testify?"

"I don't want it!"

Of course, Zhang Qi couldn't let others testify on such a matter. After she finished speaking with an embarrassed look on her face, she trotted into the house.

At the same time, Qianye Xun just walked out of the house and reported to Hanyu Hideki, "Teacher Hanyu, I have contacted Mr. Luo Zhaohui and Mr. Deng Jiaming. They said they will come here immediately."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki looked at his watch and found that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon in Hong Kong.

After thinking that he had kept Zhang Qi in the car for too long, he shouted to Zhang Qi who had not yet run far, "A Qi, your cousin and Luo Zhaohui will be here soon. Remember to arrange for the kitchen to cook dinner."

"Got it." Zhang Qi answered from a distance.

However, although dinner was arranged, when Luo Zhaohui and Deng Jiaming arrived, they did not eat immediately, but were called to the study by Hanyu Hideki.

The reason why he asked these two people to come over was naturally secondary to having a meal, the most important thing was to get some information.

Although these two people act like flatterers in front of Hanyu Hideki, the Shengshi Real Estate that they are in charge of is doing well in Hong Kong with the support of Hanyu Hideki.

After Chongqing Building, the two completed several projects in succession.

Now it plans to continue with the backdoor listing operation.

Regardless of whether it can be successful or how much profit it can make, the fact is that he has indeed gained fame and has also taken advantage of the power of others to get into the upper class circles of Hong Kong.

Therefore, the two of them know the direction of public opinion in Hong Kong's upper circles much better than Hanyu Hideki.

In the study room of No. 89, as soon as the two sat down, they couldn't wait to flatter Hanyu Hideki.

"Congratulations, big boss, for becoming the tenth richest person in the world. With a fortune of $7.5 billion, I couldn't even imagine it!" This is Luo Zhaohui.

"After the news came out, all the media in Hong Kong could see the news about the boss. The photo was so handsome that I don't know how many girls were crazy about him." This is Deng Jiaming.

Hanyu Hideki joked, "Really? Then it should be easy for me to pick up girls in Hong Kong in the future."

"It's more than easy. Just looking at your boss's appearance, the Repulse Bay can be filled up with just a snap of his fingers." Deng Jiaming immediately flattered him.

Of course, maybe it’s not flattery, but the truth.

But Hanyu Hideki, who didn't care about these, said, "Okay, I didn't come here to chat with you this time. I want to ask you something."

"Boss, feel free to ask me anything. I promise to tell you everything I know!" Luo Zhaohui immediately expressed his opinion.

Deng Jiaming next to him patted his chest and said, "Boss, I feel the same way."

"Is there any exciting news in Hong Kong's wealthy circles recently?"

Hideki Hanyu did not directly ask what he wanted to know, but simply tested him first.

Hearing this, Luo Zhaohui stroked his greasy hair, thought for a moment and said.

"Many wealthy people in Hong Kong were affected by last year's stock market crash. They finally got a break this year, so naturally they won't make any big moves. Even the richest man Li, who escaped the disaster, has become more cautious in his investments.

The financial market has been quite active. Several people in charge of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have been invited to have coffee with the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I heard that the government is planning to set up a regulatory agency, which has caused some trouble for us to go public.

Just as Luo Zhaohui said this, Deng Jiaming beside him suddenly spoke up, "Although there hasn't been any big action in Hong Kong, someone has invested heavily in real estate in Tokyo. Don't you know about this in Tokyo?"

"I've heard about this, too. It seems that Mr. Luo from Ruian bought the most." Luo Zhaohui echoed.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knew what these two people were talking about, after all, he was the seller of some of the land.

However, he did not admit it, but continued to ask tentatively.

"I'm not very clear about this. I've been in America for some time. How much do you know about the details of the transaction? What is the response in Hong Kong?"

"I don't know the details of the transaction, but everyone is envious when they talk about it. I heard that the price went up a lot right after the transaction was completed."

After Deng Jiaming finished speaking, he immediately looked at Hanyu Hideki with a sharp gaze, "Boss, you are so successful in Japan, why don't you introduce us to Tokyo to do real estate business and make a lot of money?"

"You'd better forget it. The situation over there is very complicated. It can't be solved with money alone."

Hideki Hanyu was not speaking nonsense.

In the real estate business, no matter where in the world you are, you will inevitably have to deal with local tyrants.

Local officials, various associations and organizations, and the Japanese specialty Jidao.

When he first started investing in real estate, the biggest difficulty he faced was dealing with the underworld, and he spent a lot of money on this.

Don’t even think about buying land directly. In order to avoid trouble, people basically only buy finished properties.

It was only in the past two years that he became successful and secretly built up his own forces that he gradually had fewer constraints.

These factors are also the reasons why he dared to seek Hong Kong funds to take over.

With the package solution he provides, Hong Kong investors don't have to worry about any extra trouble after trading.

The information he got from Luo Zhaohui and Deng Jiaming at this time also made him full of confidence about the party three days later.

A businessman cannot afford to be too early if he has no profit.

On the surface, everyone has seen that some people are making money.

In actual transactions, he also protects buyers.

I believe that after this party, we will be able to directly form a Japanese real estate investment group in Hong Kong.

As for his subsequent concerns about letting these people take over.

He was even less worried.

The collapse of Neon Real Estate did not occur until 1991, and the subsequent rise continued for more than a year.

In this case, no one would think that he was playing the game of passing the parcel, after all, no one could know what would happen in the future like he did.

After all, who would question the seller from three years ago just because the property price has dropped?

All he had to do next was to find an excuse to invest the urgently needed funds.
