In the early morning, Shirakawa Kaede wakes up to the dripping sound of the alarm clock.

With his eyes slightly closed, he reached out and touched his side, it was cool and cool, and the figure was long gone.

With a groan of surprise, he sat up and stretched out.

Alas, I was a little excited last night, and a pair of waists were wantonly scattered for a night.

But despite this, the senior sister still got up early to prepare breakfast.

Tsk, it's better for the senior sister to be the best for herself.

Gentle and considerate and has no temper, and after a tiring night, he thinks about himself in the morning.

Which is like the other two, a little tiger tooth bared, and then rewarded himself with the back of the head.

As for the literary young woman, when she left, she glanced at herself in a charming way.

But for some reason, Shirakawa Kaede was always a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to catch up.

Finally, looking at Yuko Tanaka, who had been with her, Shirakawa Kaede still felt that the gentle senior sister was cuter.

Putting on his nightgown, Shirakawa Kaede staggered down the stairs.

And as expected, the sound of frying steak came from the kitchen.

Shirakawa Kaede walked to the door, and Yuko Tanaka, who was wearing a thin sweater, was busy there with her apron tied around her waist and her hair pulled up.

"Yuko"

"Eh, awake?" Yuko Tanaka turned her head and saw that it was him, and smiled very gently.

"Hai" Shirakawa Kaede walked over, hugged her gently from behind, and then buried the tip of his nose in her hair and took a very satisfied breath.

"Why don't you let you do it for them?"

Obviously, there is a nanny at home, but as long as Yuko Tanaka stays here, then breakfast must be done by herself.

"It's good to make breakfast once in a while, but if you don't do it for a long time, maybe you will be rusty in the future."

Yuko Tanaka's hand didn't stop, letting him do it on his waist.

Ah, okay, Shirakawa Kaede is ashamed of her senior sister's self-discipline. It's like yourself, just eat and don't do it.

"Shirakawa-kun go to the living room and sit down first, this place will be fine immediately."

After all, he still couldn't stand his big hands, so Yuko Tanaka reluctantly sent him out of the kitchen first.

"Okay" Shirakawa Kaede withdrew his hands stupidly, and prepared to leave here.

"By the way, Shirakawa-kun, I may have to join the crew in advance to prepare for it after a while.

If you are going to be away from Tokyo for a long time, please take care of yourself. ”

Shirakawa Kaede had just turned around, and suddenly Yuko Tanaka's caring voice came from behind him.

"Eh" he was stunned, then confirmed, "Ashin? ”

"Hail" Yuko Tanaka nodded, "It's the last play, I want to make myself more involved."

I probably won't be back in Sapporo for the New Year, so I guess I spent it there at the filming location. ”

"Ashin" is a super long morning drama, each episode is fifteen minutes, and it is expected to shoot more than 200 episodes.

With such a long content, it must be filmed enough spare episodes in advance, but even if it is not good, it will take more than half a year to shoot.

And because NHK is a public TV station, the budget is more adequate than that of private broadcasting, and it basically doesn't cut dramas.

Therefore, this morning drama is expected to be filmed before it starts next year, so it is not uncommon for the New Year to rush to work.

Even a drama like "Ashin" is likely to run to a ravine and stay for a long time.

"It's so hard" Shirakawa Kaede sighed for the dedication of artists in this era, "By the way, where is the filming location?" ”

"Maybe it's in Yamagata Prefecture or Iwate Prefecture, but the details haven't been decided yet, but it's in Tohoku.

Because if you want to shoot snow scenes, it is the best place to go. Yuko Tanaka replied without raising her head while busy working on the steak in her hand.

"Northeast?" Shirakawa Kaede's eyes lit up, "If you want to go to the Northeast, of course, you should go to Akita, you can't miss such a good opportunity." ”

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka looked at him in surprise, "Akita? ”

"Of course," Shirakawa Kaede felt proud of his inspiration, "Akita has mountains, snow, and water, so there should be no problem satisfying the framing of "Ashin". ”

"But." Yuko Tanaka wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't worry, Yuko, I'll leave this question to me." Shirakawa Kaede knew why she was worried.

It's nothing more than NHK's framing, and no one else can interfere.

But it's not a problem for him, not to mention that Takeyuki Hirayama of the NHK TV drama production department is familiar with him.

In addition, he used his connections to get Akita to fully cooperate with NHK's framing, and I think the other party will definitely be tempted under all kinds of favorable conditions.

Just do it, Shirakawa Kaede turned around and wanted to go to the living room and make a call to NHK.

But looking at the sky outside, it seems to be a little early, and there is a high probability that they haven't gone to work yet.

Dressed in a dressing gown, he stood at the door of the living room, looking out at the garden in the backyard.

Why did the crew of "Ashin" go to Akita to film? Because it's a rare opportunity for exposure.

As a later generation, Shirakawa Kaede knew the later influence of "Ashin".

Not to mention the neon native, it has caused a huge repercussion throughout Southeast Asia.

At that time, it is believed that Akita, which is a filming location, will also become one of the best places for people to visit.

It just so happened that the railway in Akita was being repaired, and the airport in Odate was under urgent construction, and by the time the TV series was launched and broadcast, it was almost completed.

The traffic is complete, the Lujiao Vacation Area has also been completed, and with the exposure of "Ashin", I will take the opportunity to advertise again, which is okay.

The time and place are favorable, and Shirakawa Kaede doesn't believe it, and Akita's antlers can't make a name for themselves.

Alas, for the development of his hometown, he also broke his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time and feeling the coolness coming from his skin, Shirakawa Kaede realized that the time had entered October.

Time flies, it's another year.

After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the senior sister, the first thing Shirakawa Kaede did when he returned to Shirakawa Electric's office was to pick up the newspaper on the table and browse it carefully.

Today is the second day after Shirakawa Electric went public, and he also wants to see what the outside world thinks about it.

"The opening is the limit! The stock market of Shirakawa Electric is booming! ”

"Trillion market capitalization! The birth of the Shirakawa Empire! ”

"The three daughters are fighting for their husbands, who is Mrs. Shirakawa?!"

Wait, the first two titles are a little embarrassing, but they can barely be read.

But what the hell is the last one, sure it's a daily newspaper, not some entertainment weekly?

Shirakawa Kaede looked at the report on the news and laughed happily.

The good guy doesn't let go of the serious news, and he stares at his three women.

There is even a picture of Seiko Matsuda tiptoeing for Shirakawa Electric in the accompanying picture, and even the details of her mouth "Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng" are clearly described.

Then there is a lot of speculation below, who is Shirakawa Kaede's real girlfriend, and who will be able to crown Shirakawa's surname Yunyun in the future.

You are not good at doing your business in the print media, and what does it mean to stare at the lace news and write it?

"Komatsu, call the Mainichi Shimbun and ask them if they have been short of investment recently, and if so, I don't mind buying it."

Assistant "Hai" Komatsu faithfully carried out the orders of his own president.

Depressed, Shirakawa Kaede threw the newspaper in his hand and decided to finish the documents in his hand first.

I'll have to meet with someone from IBM later, and I'll clear up my business in the morning.

Jingle bells.

However, before I could approve a few copies of the documents in my hand, a phone call came in.

"Moxie Moxi?"

"Shirakawa-san? Ken Matsumoto, president of the Mainichi Shimbun. ”

Well? So fast? Why did you still call?

"Matsumoto-san, what are you doing?"

"The contemptible person specially called to apologize to Shirakawa-san, about the morning newspaper, it was a pure accident ~ pure accident."

Hmph, Shirakawa Kaede sneered, "Is it too late for Your Excellency to say this now?" ”

"If Shirakawa-san is not satisfied, the Mainichi Shimbun can publish a newspaper tomorrow to clarify this matter, what do you think?"

"Publication of clarifications in the newspaper is exempt, I just hope that there will be no more such irrelevant reports in the future."

Also published in the newspaper to clarify? Isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? Kaede Shirakawa doesn't know if this Matsumoto-san is really stupid or fake.

"Understood~understood" the opposite side responded vigorously, "Uh, I don't know if your assistant just said that he wants to take a stake in the "Daily News", is it true? ”

Shirakawa Kaede blinked his eyes and thought he had misheard, "Your Excellency is talking about taking a stake in the Mainichi Shimbun?" ”

"Hai, the Mainichi Shimbun, as an open print medium, welcomes new talents like Shirakawa-san to devote themselves to journalism."

Ken Matsumoto's words are such a high-sounding sound, but in fact, in the final analysis, the current business situation of the "Mainichi Shimbun" is declining.

Since the beginning of '77, the Daily News has been in a state of difficulty. It was initially aimed at farmers, and later turned to a civic audience.

However, the disappearance of the original market and the crowding of the new market made the development of the Mainichi Shimbun not satisfactory.

After reaching its peak in the 50s, it went all the way down. The circulation of the Mainichi newspaper is now almost half that of the Asahi Shimbun.

Now, in order to rectify the debts, it is even more necessary to divide the news agency into the old and the new one, so as to reduce the debt risk.

Now by chance, hearing Shirakawa Kaede's angry words, Ken Matsumoto seemed to grasp the straw and immediately called over.

Shirakawa Kaede was also a little stunned for a while in the face of his straightforward words.

"If Your Excellency really wants to talk, then make an appointment another day."

Eventually, he made a polite remark and hung up.

The Mainichi Shimbun? Shirakawa Kaede pinched his chin, not knowing what to ponder again.

Hotel Okura, this time Shirakawa Electric and IBM moved to a more spacious conference room in the hotel to negotiate the optical drive issue.

"Mr. Louis and Mr. Robert, are you okay after not seeing you for a long time?"

Bai Chuanfeng greeted these two foreigners with a smile on his face, and his mood was comfortable.

"I'm doing well, thank you," Louis shook his hand first, and then continued, "But congratulations to Mr. Shirakawa, whose market capitalization has reached $4.8 billion, which is a remarkable achievement." ”

"You have won the award, and Shirakawa Electric has been able to develop to this day because we focus on the research and development and application of technology."

While Shirakawa Kaede is modest, he does not forget to advocate the R&D strength of his own company.

Just yesterday, after the afternoon opening of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Shirakawa Electric's share price rose again, once rising to about 1,500 yen before the close.

However, in the last few minutes, it slowly fell back to around 1,400 yen, which may be due to the fact that some institutions are cashing out.

By this morning, the stock price had risen slightly at the open, but it was generally stable.

The market capitalization of $4.8 billion is enough to get the attention of Louis and IBM.

This means that in a short period of time, Shirakawa Electric has a large amount of financing cash in hand, so they will be more and more difficult in the next negotiations.

At this time, Louis even faintly regretted that the matter of the optical drive should have been decided before Shirakawa Electric went public.

"Mr. Louis, now let's talk about disc storage."

"Of course," Louis came back to his senses, a happy expression on his face.
