Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 725 Two Girls Delivering Lunch Boxes
"how do you feel?"

At the "Fiery" LIVE HOUSE in Shinjuku, a performance had just ended. Hideki Hanyu, who was sitting on the second floor, asked Akina Nakamori next to him.

Akina Nakamori nodded. "It feels good. The original music is very creative. If we help them find a better producer, they will improve faster."

What the two just watched was a performance by the Mr. Children band.

After returning to Tokyo from the Tama area, Hideki Hanyu brought Akina Nakamori directly to the "Fiery" LIVE HOUSE in Shinjuku.

While eating and drinking in the VIP seats on the second floor, the two also watched Mr. Children's first professional venue performance.

Compared to the performance at the tavern last night at the request of Hideki Hanyu, Mr. Children's performance today was much better.

Although she still lacks stage experience and her style is not mature enough, the aura revealed in her original music has already been noticed by music veteran Akina Nakamori.

After hearing what Akina Nakamori said, Hanyu Hideki said to himself, "Producer?"

Soon, he remembered the producer in his previous life who helped Mr. Children reach the top, and he started talking.

"If Akina is planning to sign them, I think Takeshi Kobayashi is a good choice."

"Takeshi Kobayashi? The producer of Southern All Stars." Akina Nakamori asked back.

Having been in the Japanese music scene for so long, she has basically heard of all the famous figures in the circle.

Takeshi Kobayashi is the producer behind the national band Southern All Stars.

Hanyu Hideki responded, “Of course, is there another Takeshi Kobayashi?”

In that time and space of the previous life, there was no butterfly called Hideki Hanyu. After wasting several years, the Mr. Children band was finally discovered by the lead singer of Southern All Stars and introduced to their producer Takeshi Kobayashi.

It was under the guidance of Takeshi Kobayashi that the Mr. Children band found its own direction and eventually became the longest-lasting legendary band in Japan.

Akina Nakamori nodded in approval, "You can try, but even if they sign the contract, they must train underground for a while like Yoshida Miwa did."

"Of course."

Hideki Hanyu had no objection to Akina Nakamori's decision.

After all, everyone can see that the current Mr. Children band is too immature.

After saying that, Hideki Hanyu stood up with Akina Nakamori.

"Now that it's decided, I'll take Akina to meet them."

"Ok."

Akina Nakamori holds Hanyu Hideki's arm.

After half an hour.

Hideki Hanyu and Akina Nakamori left the "Fiery" LIVE HOUSE.

The two had just met with the Mr. Children band and their manager Yoshiaki Takeshita backstage.

After learning that Akina Nakamori's agency intended to sign Mr. Children and train the band, neither Yoshiaki Takeshita nor Mr. Children had any intention of refusing.

After all, there is a smooth road ahead, and no one wants to take the thorny path.

Akina Nakamori made an appointment to sign a contract with the Mr. Children band at the agency the next day, so Hideki Hanyu no longer paid attention to the matter.

After leading Akina Nakamori away, the two did not return to the Yorozuya, but returned to the house in Shirokanedai that Hideki Hanyu gave to Akina Nakamori.

Although the news of Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures has reduced public attention on the "Forbes Global Billionaires List".

But that doesn't mean no one is paying attention to Hideki Hanyu.

According to Marco's report, there were still quite a few media waiting outside the Wanshi House.

Hideki Hanyu didn't want to be disturbed by those flies, so he had no plans to go back in the short term.

Next, the scumbag hid in Mori Akina's home in Shirokane Taichung for two days, taking advantage of the rare two days of relaxation to avoid public opinion.

During this period, the business manager of Cloud Music reported to him that the investment in Masato Matsuura's production company had been completed, and he only learned about it over the phone.

As for Akina Nakamori, in addition to handling contract matters, she also accompanied Hanyu Hideki wholeheartedly.

It was not until two days later, when the new album "Dreams Come True" was released, that she could no longer ignore it and reluctantly said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he can't hide any longer.

Because Koichi Minato called to urge him, it was time for him to agree to record "Shimada Please Speak".

This guy said that the news about Sony's acquisition of Columbia has died down, but the news of him appearing in Forbes magazine has started to be hotly discussed again.

In fact, the popularity of his appearance in Forbes magazine has never decreased.

Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures was certainly a big deal, but the discussion it sparked was limited to Japan and America.

Other regions simply saw the report and passed it over, but people were more interested in the Forbes billionaire list.

Today, the audience of Cloud Satellite TV covers all of Asia. When Hideki Hanyu participated in the program and was interviewed, it was not only Japanese users who were interested.

At the critical moment of the launch of Cloud Satellite TV, the opinions of overseas users are also very important.

Although the largest paying user group of Cloud Satellite TV is still Japanese viewers, the number of paying users has reached 5.5 million.

However, Cloud Satellite TV has also realized that its development in Japan has reached its limit and the growth rate has begun to slow down gradually.

Although the number of paying users of overseas channels has just exceeded 1.9 million, the growth rate is exceptionally rapid.

Precisely because of this, Cloud Satellite TV is now investing a lot of energy into the construction and operation of overseas channels.

Not only does it actively cooperate with film and television companies in various regions, it also continuously makes localized reforms and carries out targeted film and television drama adaptations and program modifications.

In a word, after the internal construction begins to enter a stable period, the next stage of development of Cloud Satellite TV will be overseas.

This is why Hideki Hanyu needs to launch Cloud Satellite TV.

Development requires funds, and providing better services also requires funds.

It would undoubtedly be a stupid thing to spend his money on the TV station.

Taking advantage of the last period of the neon bubble economy, making a fortune in the stock market and using the money to develop cloud satellite TV is of course the best option.

It is also for this reason that when Hideki Hanyu was "persuaded with emotion and moved by benefits" by Koichi Minato, he agreed to participate in the recording of "Shimada Please Speak".

……

Thursday, March 16th.

After Akina Nakamori left home, Hideki Hanyu also drove away.

The car he was driving today was very special. It was the first mass-produced Lamborghini Gallardo delivered to him in the world, shipped to him from Italy by Wendelin Wiedeking and received just yesterday.

The Lamborghini's sharp sci-fi shape, the flashy bright yellow color, and the low roar of the engine when running, this sports car attracted the attention of countless passers-by the moment it was driven on the road.

In the previous life, vehicles from the 21st century were driven on the streets of the 1980s, and you can imagine the number of people turning their heads to look at them.

Even though Hideki Hanyu is not a vain person, the curious, envious and amazed looks from passers-by still made him curl his lips unconsciously.

And in his opinion, isn’t this the meaning of working hard to make money?

The stylish vehicle drove all the way to Shinagawa District, near the headquarters of Yunshang Satellite TV in Minato District, and attracted attention again after entering the headquarters.

However, when the sports car drove in front of the new headquarters building and stopped directly without paying attention to the lack of parking spaces, and Hideki Hanyu pushed the door and walked out, everyone who saw it felt that everything was reasonable.

After all, it was Hideki Hanyu who was driving, so it seemed natural for any car to appear under Hanyu's seat.

However, Hideki Hanyu still felt a little regretful when he closed the car door.

Although the Lamborghini Gallardo looks good, it has the most common hinged doors, not the cool scissor doors like the Lamborghini.

It seems I need to talk to Wendelin Wiedeking later. Next, it’s time to launch the scissor-door version of Lamborghini Gallardo.

There are also convertible versions, commemorative versions, and GT versions...

Making money and cutting leeks is not shabby.

Of course, we will have to wait until the current Lamborghini Gallardo becomes a hit before we can cut the profits.

Anyway, Wendelin Wiedeking said that after the North American Auto Show, the number of Lamborghini Gallardo reservations has been rising steadily.

Lamborghini did not learn from Ferrari, which is a whore but still tries to be a saint. It is obviously a mass-produced car, but it insists on saying it is a limited edition car.

Lamborghini said generously that this is a mass-produced car and they will accept all orders.

Anyway, after the debugging of the new factory built with Toyota's assistance is completed, the annual production can reach 700 vehicles.

And this is the output during the running-in period. If you become proficient, you can continue to increase it.

In addition, the construction of the second phase of the factory has also begun, so even if the production of Lamborghini Gallardo increases again, Lamborghini will be able to handle it.

While thinking about the news from Italy, Hideki Hanyu did not stop and entered the new headquarters building of Cloud Satellite TV.

As soon as he sat down in the president's office, which he had rarely visited, Gang Haoyi came over.

"The show will be starting for a while yet, why is the president here so early?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "It will be listed next Monday, and I will come to check the situation for the last time."

The IPO of Cloud Satellite TV is destined to be large in scale, so it is jointly underwritten by multiple securities companies.

As for the specific implementation and process, Hideki Hanyu was not involved.

The overall work is handled by Hirohashi Asako, while the details are taken care of by the president, Minato Koichi. All he wants is the specific progress and the final results.

"President, this time we are issuing 110,710,000 shares, accounting for 40% of the total share capital..."

However, just as Koichi Minato opened his mouth, Hideki Hanyu interrupted him.

"Hao Yi-san, I have heard these data from the underwriter's representative too many times. What I want to ask you is, regarding this listing, are there any other opinions from within Yunshang Satellite TV or related parties?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Hao immediately understood what Hanyu Hideki meant.

Then he started talking about some internal and external opinions and rumors regarding the listing.

"It's fine inside..."

While Gang Haoyi was talking, more than an hour had passed.

Hanyu Hideki listened carefully, not giving up any details, and asked a few questions from time to time.

If Gang Haoyi says he is not sure, he will ask Gang Haoyi to investigate in detail.

Don't blame him for being too cautious, just blame the fact that Yunshang Satellite TV is a big tree that attracts the wind.

Some people in the industry are watching with envy.

There are also rats outside, lurking around.

At least Hanyu Hideki was sure that Tokura Shunichi and Honma and others would not miss the opportunity to dig up his roots.

But this is exactly what he wanted.

Although compared with the already listed Crescent Cinema Line and Northeast Energy, the current Cloud Satellite TV Station is not big enough to attract too much funds from those people.

But grasshopper legs are also meat. If we want to get that group of people more deeply involved, the more involved the better.

At the local level in the Kanto region, starting with Tochigi Prefecture's Councillor Fukuda and Governor Watanabe, he has already begun to speed up his layout and moves.

Although it may seem like nothing has happened on the surface, it is actually like a latent spark, just waiting in the dark to start a prairie fire.

And this is what Hideki Hanyu needs.

If you don't move, it's fine. If you move, it will be like a thunderbolt.

The accumulated power must be activated at the most critical moment.

Because even he can only strike once.

Either you die or I die!

Therefore, during this critical period, no small details or any disturbance can be overlooked.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu and Koichi Minato chatted for a long time.

It was not until his assistant Tomoe Ishihara reported that the producer of "Shimada Please Speak" came to remind him that the recording of the program was about to begin and hoped that he could go to the studio to put on makeup and prepare.

"Okay, I know everything you said. If you need to investigate in detail, please report to me as soon as possible after the investigation is complete."

Hideki Hanyu didn't intend to let the program crew wait for him, so after briefly explaining things to Koichi Minato, he left under the guidance of the producer.

When we entered the backstage of the studio and began to prepare for recording, nothing unexpected happened.

Firstly, he was the only guest in this recording, and secondly, he had recorded it once before and was not completely unfamiliar to the program crew.

Of course, the most important thing is that no one dares to do those entertainment industry tricks in front of him, the president.

Even the host Shimada Shinsuke, whose popularity is growing and whose temper is also getting worse, is as obedient as a kitten in front of Hanyu Hideki.

After all, it's not okay to be naughty.

Shimada Shinsuke is an artist of Yoshimoto Kogyo. After becoming famous in the past two years, he relied on the underworld forces behind Yoshimoto Kogyo to bully others in the agency and the entertainment industry.

On weekdays, he forms gangs and acts like a big brother, even though he has not yet reached the point of bullying men and women and doing evil things, he is still a person that everyone fears.

But the problem is, let alone Shimada Shinsuke, even the power behind Yoshimoto Kogyo is not enough for Hanyu Hideki.

Just with the resource support from the Yunshang Group, Uesugi Office was able to compete with Yoshimoto Kogyo on equal terms, leaving Yoshimoto Kogyo completely helpless.

What’s more, he is Hideki Hanyu, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Yunshang system.

If Shimada Shinsuke dares to act like a big brother in front of Hanyu Hideki, Hanyu Hideki can easily take back everything that he has in the entertainment industry.

As for the underworld forces behind him, once they find out that Shimada Shinsuke had provoked Hanyu Hideki, they will probably chop Shimada Shinsuke into pieces and send him to Hanyu Hideki to apologize.

Therefore, it seemed natural that Shimada Shinsuke personally held the program script and stood respectfully beside Hanyu Hideki to communicate, even though Hanyu Hideki did not ask him to be so humble.

But Hanyu Hideki's status and position are there. If Shimada Shinsuke does not make any gesture, even if Hanyu Hideki doesn't care, others will help Hanyu Hideki care.

"Sir, if there are no problems, the program will be recorded according to this script later."

Hanyu Hideki nodded, "No problem, thank you Shimada-san."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was so polite to him, Shimada Shinsuke's ferocious face was suddenly full of wrinkles with joy, and his tone was unconsciously flattering.

“It is an honor to serve the president.”

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shimada-san."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. No matter what attitude Shimada Shinsuke has towards other people, as long as they don't provoke him, he will not meddle in other people's affairs.

Besides, Shimada Shinsuke is an artist of Yoshimoto Kogyo.

The situation between Uesugi Office and Yoshimoto Kogyo has already been ugly enough. If he, the big boss behind the scenes, were to personally intervene, everyone in the industry would probably be in danger.

After Shimada Shinsuke left happily, the program started recording shortly after.

Since I have been here once before, the process is nothing new.

Especially when the interview questions and program procedures have been agreed upon in advance.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki's on-the-spot performance, Shimada Shinsuke's control over the program, and the performance of the beautiful atmosphere group on the scene all made the show look quite interesting.

But even so, this talk show was recorded for almost three hours.

This is also the norm in the recording of language programs.

The dozens of minutes of program that the audience sees are actually the essence selected by the program team from several hours of material.

The nearly three-hour recording time was deliberately compressed by the program crew because the guest was their own president and the on-site effect was good.

In the past, if there was not enough satisfactory material for a program, it would not be impossible to record it for seven or eight hours.

But even so, after the recording of the show was over, the entire program crew came together to apologize to Hideki Hanyu, saying that they had wasted Hanyu Hideki's time.

In response, Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "You don't have to do that. You are just doing your job."

Hideki Hanyu was not being deliberately polite. After all, the last time he came to record this program, it took him more than two hours.

Besides, he enjoyed recording the show this time. He didn’t feel bored during the process and it wasn’t a waste of time in his opinion.

Moreover, he did not record continuously for three hours. Instead, he was busy for a while and then took a break. Considering his already monstrous energy, he did not feel tired at all.

The most important thing is that what Koichi Gang said is right.

The program "Please Speak, Shimada" has indeed just replaced a group of female guests in the atmosphere group, all of whom are newcomers to the industry.

During the recording of a program, Hideki Hanyu showed his full charm at close range, and a group of girls were all fascinated by him.

Even during breaks, many girls gave him the lunch boxes they had prepared, just like the female students in school chasing after their idol.

Hanyu Hideki politely declined most people's lunch boxes, but kept the lunch boxes of two people.

There are no secrets behind the scenes of the entertainment industry, even if Hideki Hanyu enjoys a lounge all to himself.

His choice soon caught the attention of some people.

And this is what the scumbag wants.

After all, what he wanted to eat was never rice balls.

Besides, how could he not see the little thoughts of these girls?

As the recording of the program was about to end, the sky was already full of stars and the moon, and the night sky was dark. Hanyu Hideki had an idea, and after the main creative staff of the program group apologized, he made a loud announcement.

"It's because of me that everyone has been working so long today. To express my apology, I invite everyone to have a midnight snack at the nearby Wagyu BBQ. Everyone is welcome to come."

When the producer next to him heard what Hanyu Hideki said, he wanted to say that in fact, since you are the guest today, it is considered early for us to get off work.

Perhaps as a producer, he naturally understands what he can say and what he cannot say.

Only a fool would do such a thing as contradicting the president in public.

As for refusing to eat, there was no fool here who would do that.

However, soon, a member of the program team found the producer.

The person who came asked, "Team leader, the agent leading the team from Stardust Communication Agency asked if Xiao Ye could bring someone with him?"

When the producer heard this, he immediately understood who the agent was going to bring.

The program's latest batch of female guests for the atmosphere group were all provided by the partner agency. After all, Yunshang Yineng takes the elite route and never signs low-level models and variety show artists.

Many of these female guests in the atmosphere group are artists from Stardust Communication Agency. This agency initially started out with female modeling business and only recently began to involve itself in the acting industry.

What Stardust Communication Agency asked, of course, was whether they could bring artists along.

The producer had no right to decide on such matters, so he could only scratch his head and say, "I'd better go ask."

Then the producer went to find Hideki Hanyu, but before he even met Hanyu, he got the answer from Hanyu's assistant Chie Ishihara.

"Of course we went together. Mr. Hanyu told everyone. Didn't Mr. Producer hear it?"

"Sorry, I didn't think well."

Facing Hanyu Hideki's trusted assistant, the producer bowed and apologized before leaving.

Then, a large group of people came to the Wagyu barbecue restaurant that Hideki Hanyu mentioned.

This place is considered the most upscale restaurant nearby. Even the higher-income TV station employees are reluctant to eat here on weekdays.

But today when they arrived at the door, they saw that the restaurant was empty. It had obviously been temporarily booked by Hideki Hanyu.

At this moment, a yellow monster roared in the darkness.

It was Hideki Hanyu’s new car, the Lamborghini Gallardo.

The bright yellow calf braked suddenly and stopped in front of the restaurant.

Hideki Hanyu opened the door and got out of the car, and saw everyone looking at him.

He greeted me very gracefully, "What are you looking at me for? You've been hungry for so long, come in and eat."

Then, everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude.

And in the crowd, various eyes would occasionally steal glances at Hanyu Hideki and the supercar.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about this and is used to it.

And he was indeed a little hungry since he started recording the show.

I wanted to come here as soon as possible, but when I went to pick up the car, I met Hong Haoyi.

That guy pulled me aside to talk about some news he had just investigated. I didn't notice the time and chatted for a while longer. That's why I drove and arrived almost at the same time as these people who were walking.

At his invitation, everyone walked into the store.

Then the midnight snack started. After saying hello, he did not eat with everyone, but sat in a separate box.

Otherwise, everyone would just watch him eat cautiously, and no one would be happy during the meal.

But he had just started to enjoy his meal when soon someone came to toast him and express his gratitude for the hospitality.

The program producers and the main creative staff are a group.

Then several agents from artist agencies came to greet him cautiously.

When it was the Stardust Communication Agency's turn to come, he was accompanied by two people as expected. They were the two girls who had delivered lunch to Hanyu Hideki before.

A male agent who looked to be in his forties entered the private room where Hanyu Hideki was having dinner, greeted him and immediately said with a smile on his face.

"How can Mr. Hanyu eat alone without anyone to serve you? These two children have delivered lunch boxes to the president before, so they can stay and help you grill the meat."

After this guy finished speaking, seeing that Hanyu Hideki did not say anything to stop him, he immediately urged the two girls around him.

"Tokiwa Takako, Matsuyuki Yasuko, hurry up and help the master."

(Left: Takako Tokiwa / Right: Yasuko Matsuyuki (pictured))
The middle-aged agent left, but the two young girls stayed.

One on each side served Hanyu Hideki his meal.

During the break of the recording program, the reason why Hideki Hanyu left the lunch boxes of the two girls was very simple, because these two girls were acquaintances he had heard of in his previous life.

Needless to say, Takako Tokiwa has been the undisputed queen of Japanese dramas since the 1990s.

In addition to Japanese dramas, her starring roles in "Star Moon Fairy Tale" with Leslie Cheung and "Ah Hu" with Andy Lau made her well-known to many Chinese movie fans.

As for Yasuko Matsuyuki, although she is not as well-known as Takako Tokiwa, she is also a well-known and powerful actress in Japan. Her works "The Devotion of Suspect X" and the live-action version of "Fullmetal Alchemist" are both familiar works in China.

In another time and space, these two people are contracted artists of Stardust Communication Agency.

However, in Hideki Hanyu's memory, the two of them should have to wait two years before their official debut. He did not expect that in this time and space, they had signed a contract with Stardust Communication so early.

So he was a little surprised when the two people brought him lunch boxes today and introduced themselves.

However, after searching through his memory, he discovered that the two women not only worked in the same firm, but also had many of the same characteristics.

For example, there are a lot of negative news about their private lives.

Takako Tokiwa, the queen of Japanese dramas, was later exposed for sacrificing herself voluntarily when she debuted, relying on her business to gain opportunities, having a rich love history, and even playing with her husband after marriage.

As for Yasuko Matsuyuki, she is a well-known playboy. According to media reports, this beauty has too strong physical needs, and even though she has a boyfriend, she has been wandering among many men in the circle for many years.

When Hanyu Hideki thought of this, he looked at the two 29-year-old white flowers beside him. Their pure and lovely looks made it hard for him to believe that the two girls would become like the people in the scandals in the future.

However, there are too many things in the Japanese entertainment industry that destroy people's worldviews. These two people just have richer private lives, which is the least worth mentioning problem in this circle.

Besides, things that haven’t happened in the future will not affect the scumbag’s current enjoyment of the service of the two girls.

especially……

When Hideki Hanyu clearly felt that the two girls were scheming and fighting for his favor.

He only needs to fiddle with it gently to be in complete control of the situation.

Gradually, the corners of the scumbag's mouth curved up. He felt that the moon was particularly round tonight and his mood was particularly good.
-
The next day, morning.

In Setagaya Ward, Hanyu Hideki felt that the mansion 'Setagaya Zhenyuan' looked a bit old after he bought it, so he rarely lived in it and often used it to entertain guests.

As the Yorozuya was surrounded by the media again, Hideki Hanyu came here to rest last night.

The chef and maid who arrived temporarily were a little unfamiliar with the environment, so they were a little hesitant when preparing breakfast.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about these things. He asked the maid beside him while eating.

"Where's Machiko?"

Generally speaking, as long as he was at home, the maid and housekeeper would be by his side.

The maid who was asked quickly replied, "Nakorulu likes to play outside, and Ms. Machiko is accompanying her."

"So that's it."

Hanyu Hideki nodded and stopped asking questions.

Although the Wanshiwu is big enough, it is still not as large as the "Shigu Zhenyuan".

And in terms of architectural style, this place is closer to nature.

Now is the season when the first cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo. Seyako Garden is full of spring, with blooming cherry blossoms and gurgling streams. The natural atmosphere is beyond the reach of Yorozuya.

It is not surprising that Nakolulu likes the environment here.

After breakfast, Hideki Hanyu took some fish food and walked towards the garden.

As soon as I arrived at the edge of the pond in the garden, I saw Nakolu lying on a rockery stone, her eyes fixed on a white carp slightly smaller than herself in the water.

It looked like it was trying to hunt without knowing its own limitations.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and sprinkled fish food into the pond, which immediately attracted a large group of carp to fight for it, and instantly destroyed Nakolulu's "hunting" plan.

When the little female cat saw that it was Hideki Hanyu, she meowed in dissatisfaction and ran away to play nearby.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki fed the fish and said to Machiko, "It seems that Nakolu likes it here very much. You can bring it here to play more often in the future."

Machiko asked, "Won't you come along, sir?"

"Of course I'll come when I have time."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki threw away all the fish food in his hand and sighed.

“I always thought this place was a bit old-fashioned, and I didn’t like living here after I bought it.

But after the New Year, I suddenly felt that this place was quiet, natural and relaxing. ”

Then Hanyu Hideki looked at Machiko and asked, "Machiko, do you think I am getting old, so I feel this way?"

Machiko remained calm and said, "Sir, you are only 27 years old, how can you be considered old?"

Hideki Hanyu smiled and shook his head without explaining anything.

In this life, he was indeed only twenty-seven years old, but his age in both lives combined was far from this age.

Just then, a maid walked over quickly and reported to Hanyu Hideki in a low voice.

"Sir, the two ladies in the second-floor bedroom are awake."

"Okay, I get it now."
