My capital is quite large.

Chapter 72 Do You Believe in Light?

Tokyo's night sky was as still as water, and the neon lights of Ginza shone brightly through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Peninsula Hotel's top-floor presidential suite, illuminating the luxurious living room.

Having just finished a seemingly enjoyable but actually scheming kaiseki dinner, Li Feng returned to his room slightly tipsy.

He had just taken off his suit jacket and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when the doorbell of the presidential suite was suddenly rang softly.

Before Li Feng could speak, Zhang Xinyu, who was organizing tomorrow's schedule in the outer room, went over and opened the door.

A few minutes later, Zhang Xinyu walked in with a strange expression, leaned close to Li Feng and whispered, "Boss, President Sato of Shueisha sent a gift, saying that he didn't have enough fun at the banquet and specially arranged this to welcome you back."

"Oh?" Li Feng raised an eyebrow and walked to the center of the living room. "Bring him in and let me see."

Zhang Xinyu clapped her hands, and the suite door was pushed open.

A young Japanese woman, dressed in an exquisite kimono and with meticulous makeup, walked in with small, delicate steps.

With her eyes lowered, she walked up to Li Feng, knelt down on the carpet in an extremely submissive manner, said something in soft, sweet Japanese, and then bowed deeply.

Zhang Xinyu whispered the translation: "Boss, President Sato's people said that this is a gravure idol and actress who has recently debuted in Japan and is currently very popular. Tonight... it's all up to you."

Li Feng picked up a glass of ice water and looked down at the so-called "popular female star" on the carpet.

To be fair, in the eyes of ordinary people, this woman is indeed a stunning beauty.

But who is Li Feng? He currently has top actresses like Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi in his hands, and his standards have long been raised to a very discerning level.

Although the Japanese actress in front of him had exquisite makeup and a humble attitude, her heavy foundation, slightly affected posture, and the slightly bowed legs that were vaguely revealed by the hem of her kimono were full of flaws in Li Feng's eyes.

"Oh……"

Li Feng sneered, a hint of undisguised disdain and mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Do these Japanese really think I'm some kind of unsophisticated, nouveau riche bumpkin who's never seen the world and comes to Tokyo to scavenge for scraps?"

"I spent 25 million US dollars to boost their sales, and they try to fool me with this kind of mediocre stuff? Do they think I'm a garbage dump?!"

He slammed the ice water he was holding onto the coffee table with a thud.

Although the Japanese actress kneeling on the ground couldn't understand Chinese, she could still sense the cold aura emanating from the young tycoon, which made her tremble and lower her head even further.

"Xinyu." Li Feng didn't even bother to look at her again, turned around and walked towards the bathroom. "Send her back exactly as she was!"

"While you're at it, give Sato a call and tell him that Mr. Li isn't interested in their local specialties. Let him keep this kind of stuff for himself!"

Zhang Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then her charming peach blossom eyes were filled with wild joy!

"Okay, boss! I'll get her fired right now!"

She dragged the Japanese actress, who was still confused about the situation, out of the suite, then slammed the door shut. Leaning against the door, her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

In the dead of night in a foreign land, faced with such an irresistible temptation, the shopkeeper didn't even bother to look at it twice before returning it!

Zhang Xinyu instantly conjured up a dramatic scene that could be described in ten thousand words.

Why did the boss refuse? It must be because the boss has too high standards, but more importantly... the boss already has her by his side!

"The boss cares about my feelings; he thinks all those wildflowers and weeds outside can't compare to me!"

Two blushes rose on Zhang Xinyu's fair cheeks, her chest instantly filled with a sense of recognition and immense vanity from winning the favor.

The boss was able to remain unmoved even with a woman in his arms for her sake!

"I absolutely cannot let my boss down!"

She quickly took off her stiff business attire, took a deep breath, and pushed open the frosted glass door to the bathroom.

Accompanied by the sound of dripping water, soft moans that would make one blush soon echoed from the bathroom.

That night, Zhang Xinyu went crazy, giving it her all.

Not only did she use all the skills she had secretly learned from Yang Mi, but she also took the initiative to unlock several high-difficulty moves that she had previously refused to try.

Faced with such a crazy and hardworking chief secretary, Li Feng was somewhat surprised, but he was happy to enjoy it.

Fortunately, he had been consistently practicing the Taoist method of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vital energy in "The Origin and Flow of Qi" during this period, which laid an extremely solid foundation for his waist and kidneys. Otherwise, he would have almost been drained dry by this suddenly explosive demon.

……

The next morning.

Li Feng woke up refreshed in bed, glanced at Zhang Xinyu who was still fast asleep beside him, and smiled with satisfaction.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking Tokyo Tower and this bustling international metropolis, Li Feng's mind began to race, reviewing the gains from his trip to Tokyo.

"The three major shonen manga, Gintama, Fate... the trump cards of the anime and manga world have basically been exhausted."

Li Feng stroked his chin, feeling as if he had missed some important piece of the puzzle.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a huge "GG" sign on the street in the distance.

Although the words were too far away to read clearly, the classic red and white leather suit silhouette was like a lightning bolt, splitting open the floodgates of his memory!

Holy crap!

"How the hell could I have forgotten about 'light'?!"

Tokusatsu drama!

Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai!

These three tokusatsu IPs had an incredible money-making ability in the Chinese market in later generations!

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the Ultraman series.

In the future, among elementary school students, the question "Do you believe in light?" will practically be a secret code!

Tsuburaya Productions earns billions of RMB annually in the Chinese market thanks to Ultraman cards, toys, and licensed games!

And now it is 2009.

Li Feng's memory is very clear: Tsuburaya Productions almost went bankrupt around 2007 due to internal family conflicts and mismanagement, and was eventually acquired and restructured by Bandai and Fields Corporation of Japan.

At this point, although Tsuburaya Productions had survived, it was still a struggling company desperately in need of cash flow.

Furthermore, Kamen Rider, owned by Toei Company, has not yet gained widespread recognition in mainland China, and the copyright fee is ridiculously cheap!

"Xinyu! Wake up and get dressed!"

Li Feng turned and walked to the bedside, yanked back the covers, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Notify the convoy downstairs to cancel today's return tickets!"

Zhang Xinyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, forced her aching body to sit up, and asked blankly, "Boss...didn't we already buy all the anime rights? Where else are we going?"

"Let's go to Tsuburaya Productions! Then to Toei!"

……

Two hours later, at the headquarters of Tsuburaya Productions in Setagaya Ward.

Because Tsuburaya Productions had just gone through the pain of bankruptcy reorganization, the company's office environment appeared somewhat shabby, far from the grandeur of a large conglomerate like Shueisha.

When Li Feng slapped a check for three million dollars in front of the current president of Tsuburaya Productions, the president couldn't even care less about his composure and almost knelt down to Li Feng on the spot!

"Exclusive online broadcasting rights for the Greater China region for the next 15 years, exclusive distribution rights for all categories of toys and related products, and most importantly, game adaptation rights."

Looking at the president of Tsuburaya Productions, who was trembling with excitement, Li Feng said calmly, "This three million US dollars is to buy out the entire Ultraman series. I only have half an hour to go through the legal procedures."

"No problem! President Li! You're Tsuburaya's savior!"

At a time when even employee salaries are hard to pay, the injection of three million US dollars in pure cash is like a timely rain after a long drought for Tsuburaya Productions.

Having dealt with Tsuburaya Productions, Li Feng immediately headed towards Toei Company.

Compared to the struggling Tsuburaya Productions, Toei Animation was naturally much more financially secure, but in 2009, their expectations for the Chinese market were equally bleak.

Faced with the five million US dollars offered by Li Feng, Toei executives readily signed a contract for exclusive online streaming and game derivatives of the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series in Greater China.

Moreover, in Toei's conference room, Li Feng also casually browsed through their library of live-action films and television shows.

"Since we're already here, we can't leave Japan empty-handed."

Li Feng waved his hand and immediately issued additional instructions to his legal team: "Contact established film companies like Toho and Shochiku!"

"The Love Letter series, Kikujiro's Summer, Rashomon, the Battle Royale series, and that Godzilla series that always makes monster movies..."

"Sweep up the exclusive online streaming rights for every classic Japanese live-action film that ranks among the best in film history in Greater China!"

In the next twenty-four hours.

Haofeng Network's legal team was like a pack of hungry wolves with bloodshot eyes, spending millions of dollars of pocket money on a shopping spree at major film and television companies in Tokyo.

For these long-established Japanese film studios, how could they possibly make real money from decades-old films being sold in the Chinese market, which was entirely pirated? It was like picking up free money!

Without any obstacles, hundreds of classic, highly-rated Japanese films and tokusatsu dramas were packaged up and stuffed into Haofeng Films' soon-to-be-formed streaming arsenal.
