Sapporo. Located in the western part of Hokkaido Island, the fifth largest city in Komoto is known for its snow, and the headquarters of the company that created the world's most popular virtual singer idol "Hatsune Miku" is in Sapporo City, Cripton Future Media.

Speaking of the world's most successful virtual idol is "Hatsune Miku", many people should be familiar with this 16-year-old two-dimensional cute girl with a blue-green double ponytail, and the limelight of "Hatsune Miku" is even no less than that of an international first-line real singer.

Since its birth, Hatsune Miku has held more than 50 holographic concerts around the world, and of course, pseudo-holographic concerts.

Countless two-dimensional otaku fans have been playing for this virtual singer's madness, and at first, Hatsune Miku was just a vocal processing software, and it is a miracle in the anime industry that it has become the hottest "superstar" today.

Why Hatsune Miku is so popular, the answer can be listed in a lot.

In fact, there were too many virtual idol projects before this, but they have all disappeared or been buried now, but the current Hatsune Miku, like a violent hurricane, swept the world and even affected the real economy. For example, after the collapse of personality and the overflow of fresh meat, virtual idols began to grab the business of brand endorsement.

Although Hatsune Miku is the origin and the original, it has been popular among the majority of two-dimensional otaku fans around the world, and it is also very popular in China, but it is worth mentioning that in addition to Hatsune Miku, the domestic virtual idol also has the rising star Luo Tianyi, if you trace back to the roots, Luo Tianyi was also born based on the system of Cripton's future media.

Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku may be the two most popular virtual idols in China at present, and they are also the only two virtual singers who have achieved profitability.

In fact, as early as 2007, Cripton Future Media relied on Hatsune Miku to achieve a profit of 60 million yen, which was equivalent to about 3.7 million yuan at the exchange rate at the time.

By 2012, the amount of consumption related to Hatsune Miku had already exceeded 500 million soft girl coins, and until today, this girl with a pair of blue-green ponytails and always only 16 years old has soared to a commercial value of 1.6 billion.

Hatsune Miku is also helping its parent company, Cripton Future Media, become a publicly traded company with a market value of more than $700 million, and the prospects are quite good.

Even if Ye Hua simply buys Cripton Future Media, it is a non-loss-making investment.

……

Cripton Future Media Corporate Headquarters.

"President, I'm coming, I'll be there in about five minutes." The assistant came to Hiroyuki Ito's office, and at this moment the latter was pacing back and forth in the office, he was called the "father of Hatsune Miku", it was he who created the image of the girl who was always only 16 years old, and it was he who created a miracle in the anime industry.

However, at this moment, Hiroyuki Ito is obviously a little calm, because as early as a week ago, Shoreline contacted Cripton Future Media and officially launched a merger and acquisition offer, acquiring 51% of its equity assets for $393 million.

In fact, Shoreline Technology has already made a move, and has already become the majority shareholder of Cripton's Future Media, Ye Hua has long started to buy the team in the stock market, and now has taken a 15% stake in Cripton, and it is still continuing, which has pushed Cripton's market value to break through the $900 million mark, and then fall back to $860 million.

The fluctuation of market value also made Hiroyuki Ito and other Cripton executives notice the anomaly and confirmed that someone was eating in the secondary market, which indicated that the company had been targeted, and then Shoreline Company officially contacted Hiroyuki Ito through internal last week to initiate a merger and acquisition offer.

This made Hiroyuki Ito understand that the other party was bound to win.

Shoreline has only been established for more than a year, and Cripton has a history of more than 20 years, but in the game of capital and shopping malls, it is always based on strength rather than seniority, and in more than 20 years, Cripton's future media market value is less than $1 billion, and Shoreline is an emerging super unicorn company that is now sought after by Wall Street, although Wall Street has not been able to make any benefits from Shoreline.

What's more, Shoreline now has cash flow reserves that Cripton can't resist, and if the other party really wants to launch a hostile merger, Hiroyuki Ito knows he can't bear it.

The assistant came to report, Hiroyuki Ito quickly left the office, and walked out of the headquarters gate with a trace of sadness to greet him.

Ye Hua chose to come over at this time, but also because the whole world is paying attention to the Tokyo Olympics, and without the interference of the outside world, the acquisition of Cripton is always relatively smooth.

A few minutes later, a convoy came slowly, and seeing this, Hiroyuki Ito, who was waiting to greet him, was also calmed, and the battle was quite large.

A group of black-clothed bodyguards were the first to get out of the car, in a luxury business car in the convoy, after the driver got out of the car, he came to the back seat and opened the door, Ye Hua and his assistant Qiao Wei came out of the car one after another, and the other two cars also got down a group of people, it was Ye Hua's acquisition team, including the chief lawyer of the coastline, Cheng Yangze and others were also present.

In China, Ye Hua will definitely not engage in such a high-profile lineup, but it is different when he goes abroad, other people's territory.

Not only is the security lineup good, but the consulate has also said hello, Ye Hua is now a celebrity in the science and technology industry, and he is the number one person, and more importantly, the coastline is now being found by the military, which is different.

With such a character, Xiao Benzi doesn't want him to make any mistakes on his own turf and cause a diplomatic accident.

Hiroyuki Ito saw Ye Hua walking towards him slowly, even though he had already learned that he was young through the photo, he was still surprised by his youth when he saw the main master, and it was hard to imagine that he would have to deal with a junior next.

However, Hiroyuki Ito doesn't dare to rely on the old and sell the old, the psychology of the small book is actually more awe-inspiring for the strong is Yu Qiang, and the strength of the coastline and Cripton PK wave, the coastline wins.

At this time, Ye Hua locked on Hiroyuki Ito, who was standing in front of the reception crowd, and in the face of such business negotiations, he was now familiar with the road.

Ye Hua, who was calm and determined, came to Hiroyuki Ito's side, and immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it, "Mr. Ito, you may not believe it when you say it, but in fact, I am your loyal fan, and Hatsune is also my idol." ”

While speaking, the translator next to Hiroyuki Ito suddenly translated Ye Hua's words for him beside him, and when he heard it, Ito smiled in his heart and replied in his heart: What is the point of knowing that I don't believe you say it?

But he replied with a surprised smile: "Really? Surprisingly, you're probably the biggest fan of Hatsune, and I'm incredibly honored for her. ”

It's all drama spirits.

Ye Hua couldn't help laughing when he heard the words of the translator next to him, and said jokingly: "Mr. Ito, I think you should know the purpose of my visit, as a loyal fan of Hatsune Miku, I not only hope to be just a fan, but also hope to be able to marry the 'Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess' home, there is a saying in our country that a woman should marry, Hatsune is already 20 years old, and Mr. Ito also hopes that she can have a good home, right?" ”

After listening to the translation, Ito Hiroyuki was a little at a loss for words, and naturally he heard the words implied behind this intriguing remark.

The soul of Cripton's future media is Hatsune Miku, which is the world's No. 1 virtual idol that he spent more than ten years of hard work to create, without Hatsune Miku, Cripton's market value is not to mention the current more than 5 billion soft girl coins, even if it is 500 million, I am afraid it will not be able to hold up.

Hearing Ye Hua say that he wanted to marry Hatsune Miku home, in fact, it was just a tone to convey the intention of acquiring Cripton Future Media, and ...... Without mincing matters.

The first time I dealt with him, a few verbal exchanges made Ito Hiroyuki realize that this young Chinese man must not be treated as an ordinary young man, and he was not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and ended his thinking, Ito Hiroyuki bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to signal: "Let's go in first and discuss the negotiation in detail, Mr. Ye, please——"
