Chapter 8, Small Talk

After drinking tea, Uesugi moved a chair and placed it next to his large table, where the girl sat and began to do her homework, while he took a document and began to look through it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This document is a report written by a staff member, which talks about the recent AKB popularity, and this staff member thinks that since Yasu Akimoto can choose a national idol group through this audition, then why can't we Sony have such a big business and establish such an idol group through auditions?

That's what Uesugi Muneyuki has been in charge of lately, and his reaction was instinctively resisting at first, but when he thinks about it, he admits that there is some truth in what this staff member said.

As one of RB's giant group companies, Sony has the ability to complete everything from personnel selection, training, debut, physical sales and even online distribution to the company, which is the so-called "transaction internalization." ”

As long as a company can internalize transactions, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and coupled with the resources and connections that Sony Music itself has, it is not difficult to achieve what this employee said, to establish such an idol group.

But then, what about after the establishment of this idol group?

After the disbandment of Yasushi Akimoto's "Kitten Club" and before "speed" became popular, RB had entered a "Idol Ice Age" for many years, so why didn't any idol groups succeed?

Zong Xue sighed in his heart, he admired Akimoto Yasu, the founder of the 48G family, very much admired, only with the endless ideas in his mind, his unparalleled connections in the idol industry, as well as his black and white background and popularity on the five major TV stations, can he have the means and ability to gather these resources and successfully send AKB, a female idol group, to the first place in sales and the throne of one million.

And. As for the benefits that the so-called "internalization of transactions" will bring, Uesugi Muneyuki is also not very agreeable.

Sony's current situation is not good, the losses of several consecutive fiscal years have not brought Sony pure economic losses, and many influences are subtly changing this behemoth that originally rushed into the United States in the nineties, killing all sides, and standing out from the crowd.

Looking at the name of this employee, Nango Yui, Uesugi Soyuki clenched his hands into fists in confusion and pinched his chin, this name, he seems to have heard it somewhere.

Looking up at the time, the head of the personnel department hadn't gotten off work yet, so he picked up the phone: "Hey, I'm Uesugi, and I'll send the resume of one of the company's people named Nango Yui to my mailbox immediately." ”

Five minutes later, he heard a tone on his computer.

Yes, Yui Nango, who just graduated from the University of Tokyo this year and has only been working at Sony Music for less than a month, and is still a student in the same class as Uesugi Soyuki, no wonder Uesugi Soyuki has some impressions of this name.

After a while, he picked up the phone again: "Hey, I'm Uesugi, is Nango Yui from the business department?"

There was a noisy voice of inquiry on the phone, which kept passing his questions on and back, and then back from afar: "Director Uesugi, Nango, he's already off work." ”

Uesugi Soyuki frowned unconsciously, it was only eight o'clock now, and most of the people in the company were still working, why did this Nango Yui get off work? So his tone became a little heavier: "What's the matter? Why did he get off work?"

Since he went to the United States, he has been in a high position for a long time.

There was another noisy inquiry, and then the phone was answered by a different person: "Hello, Director Uesugi, I'm the only office in Nanxiang... ”

"What's going on, you say it first. Uesugi Muneyuki interrupted him directly.

"Nanxiang seems to have something at home today, so he said he left first, but... Still, he seems to ... There was a hint of irrepressible excitement in that voice: "It seems that he went to a concert, and I saw him holding a ticket for the AKB48 concert." ”

Went to see AKB48's concert? Well, it seems that it was the summer tour recently, and Uesugi Soyuki checked it on the computer, and sure enough, there was one tonight.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ That,Uesugi director。。。 Seeing that there was no sound on the phone, the colleague of Nanxiang Wei on the other end couldn't help but smile, and asked softly, it is not the first time that he, a colleague who graduated from Tokyo University, has left work early (in fact, he is unwilling to work overtime), but the company clearly stipulates that the time to get off work is half past five in the afternoon, he just wants to get off work on time, and it is impossible to stop him, so he plans to let the senior student of Tokyo University take a lesson and let him increase his knowledge!

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Let him come and see me next Monday. As a result, what he heard was actually the arrangement of Director Uesugi who was not serious or serious, like a notice, and this is the end?

Uesugi Soyuki hung up the phone and smiled helplessly, he almost instinctively wanted to punish this Nanxiang Yui after knowing about it, his own director was working overtime, he actually went to see an idol's concert?

But he suddenly remembered the experience of a tech nerd.

The technologist graduated from an ordinary university in the Celestial Empire, majoring in electronic information technology, but the job in this major was not easy to find, and after going through the agency of a relative, he got a job in a private company on the coast.

The work of the private company is very hard, there are only two days of vacation a month, and it is common to work overtime at every turn, and it is common to work 12 hours a day.

When he was in college, he liked AKB48, but because of the internship and graduation project in his senior year, as well as the various life chores of finding a job and learning to adapt to when he first entered the company, he gradually gave up this hobby, and when he planned to pick it up again, he found out.

Why don't I know these people anymore? What about the original people?

Well, they've all graduated.

At this time, Nogizaka 46 walked into his sight.

Later, in order to be able to go to RB to meet an idol once, he worked for three months without stopping, and then took the money he had saved and wanted to meet an idol once.

No, the manager of the company told him that you would take a maximum of three days off, on the grounds that if you didn't take a break, it would automatically be considered as a waiver.

It's not the same as saying yes!

What's different?! Didn't I give you more money? Do you still want to do it?!

The work is not easy to come by, and the heroes knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

Pushing himself and others, Nango Yui did not violate the company's regulations, Uesugi Soyuki thought about it, and finally gave up, don't do to others what you don't want.

"That... Predecessor... Just as Uesugi Muneyuki was silent in his memories, a weak voice came to his ears.

"What's wrong?" he came back to his senses.

"The appearance of the seniors is so scary. Mai Shiraishi on the side watched Uesugi Zongxue's face constantly change, one moment hideous, another gloomy, she knew that Zong Xue might have remembered something bad, and hurriedly woke him up.

The predecessors who were originally familiar seem to have become strange again.

"I'm sorry, I'm reminded of some, some things from the past. Uesugi shook his head, as if he wanted to get these things out of his mind, and looking at the girl's appearance, he suddenly smiled: "In this way, it's like going back to the past." ”

Hearing him say this, Mai Shiraishi will also smile.

In the past, when she was in junior high school, the two of them would often find a classroom after school, sit together, and do homework together.

The speed of writing homework is always very fast, he often finishes his homework in an hour, and then he picks up a book, he will put down the book and explain it to himself carefully if he has a problem, nothing to do, he reads quietly, the afternoon sun shines on the desk, shines on the homework and textbooks, and also shines into the girl's heart, in that dark years, he is the ray of sunshine in her life.

So after her predecessor left her, she resolutely chose to go to Beijing to study, just because, her predecessor was in Tokyo and she wanted to find him.

This idea sustained her through the remaining year or so of middle school.

The girl's voice helped Zong Xue dispel the haze in his memory, his expression and tone became a lot more relaxed, seeing that there were no outsiders in the office, he let his body relax, completely leaned back on the comfortable boss's chair, let out a long breath, and then said to the girl: "Baishi, the work of the convenience store, are you still used to it?"

"Well, the shopkeeper is a very good guy and has a good salary. The girl held the ballpoint pen in her hand and wrote in a brisk tone, looking quite satisfied with her work.

"That's good. Uesugi Soyuki used to be very curious, it was his unilateral decision to help Mai Shiraishi make up for her class, why Mai Shiraishi's parents never asked much, and even later on the weekend, when the girl went to his house to do her homework, Mr. Shiraishi did not object, what did the girl's parents think?

Later, I found out that he underestimated his reputation among the parents of Gunma Middle School too much, the top three in the perennial grade, often the first, he has always been a typical example of the tree by the teachers, and has lived across the street from his house for many years, Mai Shiraishi's father already knows him quite well, this is a very clean child, he has not been infected with any vices, and he never does the things that high school boys like to do such as dyeing his hair and drinking wine and speeding cars (in fact, he is not interested in the things that bear children like), plus the good upbringing and erudition of this child that can be felt in a good number of contacts, Mr. Shiraishi is still more at ease with Uesugi Soyuki。

And in RB's culture, parents don't control their children as much as the Celestial Empire, and they often choose to respect their children's decisions, since their daughters like it, and the other party is not a bad child, it doesn't matter.

So after he returned to China and promised to take care of the school and accommodation, Mr. Shiraishi also agreed to his daughter's request to go to Beijing.

Now, the seniors are back.

Wouldn't that be great?
