Meow Woo –

At home in Nakano Ward, the wake-up service for the little female cat arrived on time.

Hideki Hanyu moved away from Nakoruru, who was lying on his chest.

"Nakorulu, you're not a kid anymore, don't jump up like this."

I don't know if Yasuko Sawaguchi took care of it too well, or if the little female cat suddenly developed.

Rapid weight gain after years.

The little princess is about to turn into a chubby girl.

Jumping on him, I really couldn't stand it.

It seems that he is going to take advantage of this opportunity to go to America and send Nakolulu to a foster care store to lose weight.

At this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi also walked into the bedroom.

"Hanyu-san, hurry up, I've already prepared breakfast, and I won't be able to catch the plane any later."

Yasuko Sawaguchi said and came over to take Hideki Hanyu's hand.

Trying to pull Hideki Hanyu up from the bed.

Who wants to be petite, instead of pulling up Hanyu Hideki, she was dragged to the bed by Hanyu Hideki and hugged into her arms.

Yasuko Sawaguchi hurriedly pressed her hands against Hideki Hanyu's chest, and said coquettishly, "Hanyu-kun, don't." ”

Feeling the heat of Hideki Hanyu, the girl's pretty face blushed.

She feels that Hideki Hanyu is good at everything, but it's always a little nervous to be with her.

I always like to make her do something embarrassing.

"Oops......"

Finally broke free from Hideki Hanyu's hot kiss.

Yasuko Sawaguchi hurriedly said, "If you delay any longer, you won't be able to catch the plane." ”

"If you can't make it, take the next trip."

"But Hanyu-kun said that there are still people with us, and we can't let others wait for us."

"I almost forgot about Kitahara-san and Tajiri-chi."

Hideki Hanyu suppressed his desire and let the beauty go, "I'll let you go this time." ”

Seeing Yasuko Sawaguchi running out of the door with a blushing face, and not forgetting to tell him to go down to eat, Hanyu Hideki shook his head with a smile.

Then he finished washing, changed his clothes, and when he went downstairs to take a look, he found that there were several large suitcases in the living room on the first floor.

"Hanyu-kun, come and eat." Yasuko Sawaguchi greeted.

Hanyu Hideki asked rhetorically, "Why did you prepare so many boxes?" ”

Yasuko Sawaguchi replied seriously, "When you go on a trip, you must prepare a little more things." ”

Hideki Hanyu casually opened a box and found that the girl even had his razor, and said with a wry smile on his face.

"Except for the documents, bring a change of clothes, don't bring anything else, if you lack anything, you can buy it when you get to America."

"But I've been preparing for a long time." Yasuko Sawaguchi was a little unwilling.

"Well, listen to me." Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, and it wasn't a move.

"Okay."

Hideki Hanyu went to eat, while Yasuko Sawaguchi regrouped her luggage.

According to Hideki Hanyu's command, in the end, only a small box remained.

Pack up and let Reiko Uemura send the little female cat to a foster care store to lose weight.

Hideki Hanyu took Yasuko Sawaguchi, got into Marko's car, and went to Haneda Airport.

ANA VIP Lounge.

Hideki Hanyu joins Eri Kitahara, Tomo Tajiri, and Ken Yumori.

After greeting a few people, Hideki Hanyu sat next to Tajiri and Kamori Ken.

Yasuko Sawaguchi sensibly asked Hanyu Hideki what he wanted to eat and drink, and then helped get them one by one.

Eri Kitahara, who was not far away, looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was busy coming and going, and sighed in a low voice.

I don't know why, looking at Yasuko Sawaguchi, Megumi Kitahara wanted to think of Akina Nakamori, who was shopping together not long ago.

At first, the two knew each other because of Hanyu Hideki, and later when she was shopping for clothes, the other party would often give her reference suggestions.

From Akina Nakamori's words, Eri Kitahara could sense that the kid had a good impression of Hideki Hanyu.

But based on her feelings, Hideki Hanyu didn't mean that.

Her friend and boss is so good that often unintentional actions will make girls tempted.

When she and Hideki Hanyu first met, they both had a little affection.

So it's not surprising that other girls would like Hideki Hanyu.

In Eri Kitahara's opinion, there are probably not a few girls who secretly like Hideki Hanyu.

It is said that a beautiful woman is a disaster.

But in the eyes of girls, how can Hideki Hanyu not.

Valuer Kitahara is thinking differently.

Not far away, Hideki Hanyu chatted with Tajiri and Tomotomi.

"Tajiri-san, Mori-san, how are you feeling at Elf Entertainment recently?"

After the signing meeting in Tokyo, the two did not hesitate for long and went to Genie Entertainment to join the company.

Because Hideki Hanyu had explained in advance, Eri Kitahara did not arrange specific work for the two.

It's just for the two of them to find what they are interested in in Elf Entertainment to try.

And the two didn't stay long before they found their own favorite places.

He went headlong into the Pokémon comic studio of Elf Publishing House and participated in the creation of comics.

However, he is not interested in the plot or anything, but likes to participate in the creation of the image of the Pokémon elf.

Tajiri, on the other hand, wandered around the three studios, curiously watching how each team developed the game.

Especially recently, the production of "Kung Fu: Death Break" is nearing completion, and this guy is even more interested in recommending himself to become a trialist.

Help Toshihiko Nakago and Yuji Horii find bugs in the game.

But just when the two of them were more engaged in their work, the summons of Hideki Hanyu came.

Take them to America.

Hearing Hanyu's question, Hideki said with some reluctance, "I still have a few characters whose design inspiration has not been drawn." ”

Tajiri said, "I really like the working atmosphere of Genie Entertainment. ”

"If you want to work, you will have time in the future, go to America with me first, I need to tell you what the focus of the next work is."

Hideki Hanyu said.

In the previous life, the development of the first generation of "Pokémon" took too long.

Hanyu Hideki didn't delay for so long, and the handheld research and development continued to increase costs, increase manpower, and even found a hardware partner in America.

In order to ensure that at next year's electronic consumer exhibition, it can be launched on time for publicity.

And games that are specifically designed for handhelds naturally can't be slower than handhelds.

However, there is also a reason for the slow development of the game in the previous world.

First of all, the lack of development funds was a big problem, which led to the dissolution of the club several times during this period.

If it weren't for Nintendo's support, the first generation of "Pokémon" would have died if it didn't work well.

In addition to the development expenses, Tajiri basically started research and development from scratch.

The background of the game's story, the Pokémon elves, and the gameplay all need a little bit of setting.

But it doesn't have to be that way at Genie Entertainment.

First of all, Hideki Hanyu's original "Pokemon" basically set the overall framework of the story.

Even most of the content can be copied.

In terms of game design, Hideki Hanyu has given a general design idea and set the mode.

All the developers had to do was follow Hanyu's idea and fill in the details.

It's just a pity that the developers in North America are not suitable for this kind of game.

The designers of Neon had a hard time understanding Hideki Hanyu's design ideas.

That's why Hideki Hanyu values Tajiri so much.

This time, I brought Tajiri to Amerika not so that he could stay in America to develop games.

Instead, I hope he can stay in the R&D center for a while and familiarize himself with the design parameters of the Game Boy handheld.

Then, according to the hardware configuration of the handheld, Neon joined the second group of the 'Magic Studio' that originally developed electronic pets to carry out the game development of the first generation of Pokémon.

casually chatted with the two of them.

I didn't say anything specific for the time being.

As the boarding time came, the group boarded the plane.

After getting on the plane, Hideki Hanyu took a break.

When the flight attendant asked Eri Kitahara, who was next to him, if he wanted to eat, he just woke up.

Turning his head to look at Eri Kitahara, he found that the other party was not eating.

Instead, turn on the reading light and look carefully at the file.

Hideki Hanyu asked in a low voice, "What is Kitahara-san looking at?" ”

"Summary of the work of Elf Entertainment." Eri Kitahara got up and handed the document to Hideki Hanyu, "It just so happens that Hanyu-san will take a look." ”

Hideki Hanyu took the document and looked at it.

It was found that it was indeed the recent situation of Elf Entertainment.

The first part is the sales of several arcade games.

The main sales area is still neon, and overseas sales are low.

However, due to the popularity of the game, sales seem to be good.

In June alone, three arcade games generated more than 1.5 billion in sales.

The second part is the sales of Tuoma Gezi,

Compared to the first month of listing, the sales exploded.

Since the second month of its launch, Takuma Geko's sales have gradually stabilized after a continuous plunge.

A total of 3.2 million units have been sold since May.

This figure is about the same as the sales in a week when the sales first exploded.

But Hideki Hanyu knew that this was normal now.

And with the emergence of competitors, and copycat piracy is rampant.

Sales are estimated to be unstable even at the current level.

Turning to the third part of the work summary, it is the progress of various rights protection work of the legal department.

Most of the rights protection work of the Ministry of Justice is basically carried out around Tuoma Gezi.

But there is a small part, because of several arcade games.

It's a golden age of arcade games these days.

Good works are coming out one after another.

But more of it is a variety of copycats, plagiarized games.

Genie Entertainment's three arcade games are so popular.

Naturally, it will arouse the covetousness of others.

Plagiarism is unavoidable.

And this kind of rights protection lawsuit is also the most troublesome.

The reason why Nintendo's legal department is so powerful is not because the game is too popular and is copied too much.

There are enough rights protection lawsuits, and they have been tempered hard.

Now Elf Entertainment can be regarded as embarking on this path.

There are basically no less than 20 rights protection lawsuits conducted at the same time every month.

And it's not limited to neon natives.

It's such a high-intensity workout every month, and the legal department has a lot of combat experience.

"No big deal." Hideki Hanyu returned the documents to Eiri Kitahara.

"It's not a big problem for the time being, but our animatronic pets and arcade games are also coming to an end in the neon market, especially arcade games, which must go further overseas."

"Since Kitahara-san is aware, let's do it."

"According to my plan and that of the former Yuan Zhensheng, a lot of publicity expenses need to be invested."

"As long as you can open the channel, money is not a problem, Kitahara-san will let it go."

Hideki Hanyu gave the greatest support.

He has too many places to make money now, and he doesn't need to siphon off the profits of Elf Entertainment and delay the development of Elf Entertainment for his own pleasure.

And the America division of Genie Entertainment, from acquisition to establishment, and now R&D investment.

It was all he who lent money to the elves in his private name.

Although Genie Entertainment is his.

But after all, the company's profit involves bonuses and dividends for executives and employees, so even if the left hand is down to the right hand, it must be calculated clearly.

The meals in the first class of the all-day empty were good, but they did not relieve the boredom of the journey.

After a twelve-hour flight.

Hideki Hanyu finally arrived at San Francisco's San Francisco International Airport.

As soon as the group walked out of the exit of the airport, they saw an acquaintance waiting for them in a line.

"President Hanyu, I'm here."

"Editor-in-chief Takida, why are you here to pick us up."

It was no one else who picked up Hideki Hanyu and his entourage, it was none other than Koji Takida, the editor-in-chief of Game Base magazine.

Because the development of "Game Base" in North America was not smooth, Koji Takida personally came to North America to host the work very early.

"It's so boring in the company, so I should relax when I come to pick up President Hanyu and President Kitahara."

After this guy finished speaking, he took the box in Sawaguchi's hand with a very good eye, "Let me come." ”

"Thank you." Yasuko Sawaguchi said.

Following Hideki Hanyu, Yasuko Sawaguchi is completely used to being treated specially.

"You're welcome, President Hanyu, the bus I arranged is in front, the hotel in San Francisco has been arranged, you guys rest first, and then go to Silicon Valley tomorrow."

"Okay." Hideki Hanyu replied.

In fact, when they landed, it was ten o'clock in the morning San Francisco time.

But in Tokyo it's two o'clock in the morning.

So even the group slept on the plane.

However, due to the time difference, everyone was a little depressed.

Take your time with jet lag or something, Hideki Hanyu just wants to rest now.

……

Hilton San Francisco Union Square.

When Hideki Hanyu woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

My stomach growled with hunger.

Shook Yasuko Saguchi, who was sleeping beside him.

After the girl was woken up, she asked sleepily, "What's wrong with Hanyu-kun?" ”

"Let's go to dinner together."

The two packed up and walked to the hotel's restaurant.

Yasuko Sawaguchi is a scumbag, and her English is limited to greetings.

It's all about Hideki Hanyu.

Watch Hideki Hanyu skillfully help her order food in English.

Curious, he asked, "Why is Hanyu-san's English so good?" ”

Yasuko Sawaguchi knew that Hanyu Hideki made her debut before finishing her studies.

Listening to Hideki Hanyu's English, not only does he speak fluently, but he also doesn't have a unique accent like ordinary neon people.

"I used to be an idol and was not famous, so I learned a little more casually in my free time."

Hideki Hanyu immediately came up with a tried-and-true universal explanation.

You can't tell the other party that his English is good before the crossing.

Just as the two were talking, the food they ordered hadn't been served yet.

But I saw Koji Takida walk into the restaurant and seemed to be ready to eat.

Hideki Hanyu beckoned the other party to come and sit together.

Koji Takida glanced at Shizuko Sawaguchi and politely refused, "President Hanyu, I still don't want to disturb you." ”

"Sit down, nothing to disturb, I'd like to see how Game Base is going."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Yasuko Sawaguchi took the initiative to change her seat next to Hanyu Hideki.

"Yes." Koji Takida had to sit down.

Hanyu Hideki waited for Koji Takida to order a good meal, and then asked, "Some time ago, you said that the development of Game Base was not going well, how is the situation now?" ”

"There has been some improvement, and I followed President Hanyu's advice to rank and rate computer games, which are now very popular with programmers in Silicon Valley, with a circulation of 54,000 copies in the last issue."

Speaking of this, Koji Takida smiled wryly, "But except for the area around San Francisco, there is almost no sales in other areas." ”

"Have you investigated the cause?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"On the one hand, there is a lack of channels, but the main reason is caused by the impact of Atari, the popularity of computer games is not as good as that of home consoles, and now the Amerika home console games are almost stagnant, and everyone doesn't care about games, let alone a magazine that reports games."

Koji Takita said helplessly.

Hearing Koji Takida's explanation, Hideki Hanyu thought while eating the appetizer that had just been served.

In his opinion, what Koji Takida said made sense.

Everyone doesn't even play the game anymore, so naturally they don't care about the game report.

There is basically no solution to this problem, unless he can activate the North American game market now.

Since this road does not work.

Then you can only start with the channel.

The energy of North American publishing houses is still very large.

If you can unite the local publishing forces in North America and rely on their power to promote.

Even if the audience for computer games is not as large as for home consoles.

At the very least, it can beat the popularity and authority of "Game Base" first.

As long as these two points are captured, Game Base will be able to seize the opportunity once the game market recovers.

Neon has not developed in the segment of video game media.

The same is true for America, and you can't find a game magazine as mature and professional as Game Base.

As for how to unite the strength of local publishing, in the capitalist world, of course, it can only be profitable.

As long as Game Base can develop in North America, Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind giving away a stake in Game Base's North American division.

As long as you have control, it doesn't matter how much you share.

Anyway, in his plan, "Game Base" has always been a boost for Genie Entertainment.

And with the development of Internet technology in the 90s, traditional media will not last long.

At that point, Game Base will play its part, retire successfully, and abandon when it should be abandoned.

He doesn't have the persistence of the so-called traditional media people.

We have to stick to the traditional media.

I don't know if he will personally make an online platform and destroy "Game Base" by himself.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu told Koji Takida his thoughts.

He told them to go back and talk to Game Base's North American managers about how to implement his idea.

After all, the managers of "Game Base" in North America have worked in the American publishing industry for many years and have their own connections.

After solving the problems in Game Base, Hideki Hanyu can finally eat happily.

After eating and drinking, Hideki Hanyu wondered where to take Yasuko Sawaguchi to go shopping.

Seeing this, Koji Takida asked, "Is Chairman Hanyu planning to go out for a walk?" ”

"yes, I just don't know where to go." Hideki Hanyu said.

"President Hanyu, I heard President Kitahara say that you like Chinese culture very much." Koji Takida asked.

"I like it very much." Hideki Hanyu replied.

"Then I know there's a place where President Hanyu might be interested." Koji Takida said.

"Where?" Hideki Hanyu asked curiously.

"At the San Francisco Chinese Cultural Center, I received a flyer when I went out in the morning, saying that there would be a song and dance troupe from Huaxia there tonight."

"Sounds good."

Hideki Hanyu was a semi-professional dancer in his previous life.

When I first crossed over, I also worked as a dance teacher in the training room for a while.

Because I like to dance, I have a separate dance studio for both the apartment in Chuo Ward and the house in Nakano Ward.

On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I will dance to cultivate my sentiment and shape my temperament, and at the same time, I control my body shape by the way.

Now that he heard that he could watch the performance of the Chinese song and dance troupe, he immediately became interested.

"I don't know if I can buy a ticket now." Hideki Hanyu said.

"The leaflet says it won't start until half past seven, and I'll help President Hanyu arrange a car, so I should be able to catch it now." Koji Takida said.

"Then please Takida-san."

After Hanyu Hideki finished politely, he turned his head and asked Yasuko Sawaguchi, "How about Yasuko accompany me to see a cabaret show?" ”

"I'll listen to Hanyu-kun for everything." Yasuko Sawaguchi said obediently.

"Let's go."

Hideki Hanyu took Yasuko Sawaguchi, left the hotel, got into the car arranged by Koji Takita, and went straight to the Chinese Cultural Center in San Francisco.

After getting off the bus at the street entrance, I didn't wait for him to ask where to buy a ticket.

Someone shoved the leaflet into his hand.

When Hideki Hanyu took a look, he realized that it was the introduction of tonight's song and dance performance.

In addition to the performances, there is also an introduction to the Chinese Cultural Center in San Francisco.

It was established in 1965 to help people understand the art, history, and culture that the Chinese developed in the United States.

Tonight's show is promotional in nature, so tickets are not expensive.

Hideki Hanyu followed the instructions in the leaflet and found the ticket office.

There has been a short queue here, looking at the faces and listening to the voices of conversation, basically all of them are Chinese.

And just when Hideki Hanyu was queuing up to buy tickets.

Performers from the Huaxia Song and Dance Troupe have just arrived backstage and begun to prepare for the performance.

At this moment, the team leader began to count the number of actors.

When she finished counting and found that there was one person missing, she couldn't help but get nervous.

Because of the tennis player's escape in America some time ago.

He brought the song and dance troupe to perform in America, and his greatest fear was that the same thing would happen.

He carefully examined everyone until he was sure who was missing, and then hurriedly pulled a female dancer to ask.

"Xiao Fang, where did Xiao Liu go with your group?"

"I went to the bathroom, I just went."

When the team leader heard this, his hanging heart finally let go a little.

But thinking about what happened before, she was still a little uneasy, so she decided to go to the bathroom to find it.

But as soon as she walked out of the backstage, she saw the person she was looking for outside the door of the performance hall.

The girl seemed to be lost, and walked around the entrance of the audience, not knowing where to go.

Seeing this, the team leader hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Liu, here." ”

It may be that the leader's voice is a little loud, which not only startles the audience who are entering the performance hall.

Even more frightened Xiao Liu, who was looking for a way, turned around sharply, and accidentally bumped into a male audience with a female companion.

The center of gravity is unstable, and it looks like it is about to fall.

Fortunately, at this time, the male audience member who was hit stretched out his arm and held Xiao Liu up.

"Be careful not to fall."

Listening to the familiar Chinese language, Xiao Liu looked up and saw a handsome face.

The story of the song and dance troupe is pure fiction, and if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence.

Thank you for the tip
