After the construction of the new office building began, the hardware R&D department was relocated to the factory in Ota Ward.

The R&D department will move back when the new office building is completed, but if you want to see a prototype at this time, you will have to go to Ota City.

After Tetsuya Aragaki came to inform, Hideki Hanyu was not in a hurry.

After talking to Reiko Uemura about the work arrangements, he set off for Ota Ward with Tetsuya Aragaki .

Ota District.

East China Sea region.

The Elf Entertainment Tokai Factory is located here.

This is also the largest production base of Elf Entertainment, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters.

The first-generation electronic pet Takuma Geko, the second-generation electronic Poké Ball, as well as the Pokeball 2 handheld and arcade motherboards are still on sale today.

More than 50 percent of these products are assembled here.

When Hideki Hanyu arrived, it was time to go to work in the afternoon.

A large number of workers, dressed in uniform overalls, are returning to the factory.

Watching the security guards escort a Mercedes into the factory, the workers realized that it was the big man who had arrived and gave way to the car.

The vehicle drove all the way to the northeast corner of the factory and came to a building that looked like a small factory building with a white appearance.

It's not the first time Hideki Hanyu has been here.

I know that in this seemingly ordinary factory, there is a hardware R&D department with various equipment.

After entering the hardware R&D department, because the work time had not yet arrived, he and Tetsuya Aragaki went to the office on the second floor.

When I came in, I found that there were already quite a few people inside.

The head of the sales department, Maeyuan Zhensheng, was chatting with the head of the production and quality supervision department, Junzhong Kusamamura.

Eri Kitahara stood at the window, standing at the window with Satoshi Iwata, who had not yet returned to America after the New Year, looking outside and discussing something.

"Good afternoon, everyone, it's all early." Hideki Hanyu said after entering the door.

"Chairman Hanyu......"

"Chairman Hanyu......"

After saying hello, Hideki Hanyu came to the window and asked Satoshi Iwata first.

"When is Iwata-san going to Amerika?"

"Mr. Michael Katz asked me to know the details of the new arcade machine so that I could develop a sales strategy in Amerika."

Satoshi Iwata replied.

Although Genie Entertainment's arcade machines have only been sold in America for more than a year, their market share is gradually increasing.

For the new generation of arcade machines developed by the Neon headquarters, the America branch also attaches great importance to it.

"I see, that's right, when I'm done dealing with the second generation of arcades, let's go to America together."

"Okay, President Hanyu."

After talking to Satoshi Iwata, Hideki Hanyu looked out the window and asked Eri Kitahara curiously.

"Is Kitahara-san watching the workers?"

Eri Kitahara nodded and said in a somewhat worried tone, "yes, I've been having a headache for them lately." ”

"Is something wrong?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"The labor agency recently sent people to a showdown to demand that the treatment of workers be improved."

Eri Kitahara's words made Hideki Hanyu look at the workers outside the window.

These workers, dressed in Elven Entertainment uniforms, ostensibly work for Elven Entertainment.

But in fact, the vast majority of them are workers provided by third parties, which is in the nature of labor dispatch.

It's not like Elf Entertainment wants to do it on its own.

The main reason is that after the establishment of the factory, it was in a hurry to put into production, and the shortage of workers was too large, so it had to cooperate with a professional third-party labor service company.

Don't look at it as a third-party dispatch, but because it is supported by the guild, the salary, benefits and other benefits are completely at the same level as regular employees.

After all, today's neon export market is hot, and there is a huge labor gap.

If the pay is slightly worse, the workers will not come to work in the factory of Elf Entertainment.

It is also because of this that labor cooperatives often demand higher salaries.

It's not the first time that Eiri Kitahara has said this kind of thing.

But Hideki Hanyu also understands that this situation will not last long.

Because after the Plaza Accord was signed, neon seemed to have entered a glorious bubble economy period.

However, the labor cost remains high, resulting in high production costs and heavy losses for exports.

Capital chooses to vote with its feet, preferring to move a large number of industries overseas rather than lose money in neon territory.

And compared with the real industry with a long cycle and slow returns.

Capital prefers real estate transactions, the financial market, which is a place where it is easy and quick to make money.

As a result, a large amount of money gave up the industry and turned to the real estate and financial markets, turning from real to virtual.

Therefore, behind the bright bubble, there is the gradual decline of a large number of real industries.

The industrial workers who are still enviable today will have a harder and worse life day by day.

Real estate agents, stock traders, but have become a sweet spot in the eyes of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu asked Eri Kitahara, "Does Kitahara-san remember my guess before?" ”

"Of course I do." Eri Kitahara replied.

"Grasp the overseas layout, prepare for industrial transfer, and make appropriate concessions to the requirements of labor service clubs, but the follow-up contracts are mainly short-term."

Hanyu Hideki commanded.

"I know how to do it." Eri Kitahara replied.

When the two of them said this, Tetsuya Aragaki suddenly came in to inform everyone, "Everyone has arrived, we can go down." ”

"Okay." Eri Kitahara agreed.

Then he walked downstairs with the former Yuan Zhensheng and Kusamura Junzhong.

Hideki Hanyu and Satoshi Iwata walked last.

However, after the first few people left the office, Satoshi Iwata suddenly asked Hideki Hanyu.

"Isn't Chairman Hanyu optimistic about Neon's economic development?"

Hanyu Hideki looked puzzled, "Why did Iwata-san say that?" ”

"I heard what President Hanyu and President Kitahara said just now, and I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Satoshi Iwata said.

"It doesn't matter, in fact, on the contrary, I am very optimistic about the neon market in the next few years."

Hanyu Hideki saw that his words made Iwata Satoshi look puzzled, and said with a smile, "Let's look at the prototype today, and it's not too late to talk about some things another day." ”

After Hanyu finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the outside of the office.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, worthy of being the future Brother Cong.

With just a few words from him and Eiri Kitahara, he can guess some of his thoughts.

It seems that the two years of training at the Amerika branch have not been in vain.

Led by Tetsuya Aragaki, everyone came to the workshop on the first floor.

Then they saw a special arcade machine.

At a time when wooden frames were common in arcades, this arcade machine was made of hard plastic in many places on top of the wooden frames.

The joysticks and buttons on the left and right are separated, and the console where they are located is made of hard plastic.

The hard plastic surface is polished, and through the smooth and translucent surface, you can also see the logo of Genie Entertainment, as well as various game image graffiti.

Red joystick handle, colorful game buttons.

Unprecedented plastic and wood frames.

Equipped with Sony's custom-made 21-inch color display with Trilon technology.

Although the arcade has not yet started, it already gives people a "sci-fi feeling".

Tetsuya Aragaki didn't start the arcade machine immediately, but first pushed the arcade machine to rotate and let the back of the arcade rush to everyone.

At this time, Tetsuya Aragaki took out a key with a unique shape, inserted it into a key hole on the back of the arcade machine, and opened the back panel after twisting it.

Then everyone saw the various colored lines and different styles of plugs.

"Next, I'm going to show you how to install a game board on this arcade machine."

I saw Tetsuya Aragaki carefully take out a substrate full of semiconductor components from the box next to him.

He lifted the substrate flat and put it in the arcade's open backplate and pushed it into a metal slot that looked like a track.

A few metal fasteners are then pulled, and with a click, the substrate is fixed to the metal slots.

Immediately after that, he skillfully inserted the plugs connected to the wiring on the substrate one by one.

After making sure the plugs were plugged in, he closed the back panel again and twisted the key to lock it completely.

Finally, turn the arcade machine in the direction and face everyone on, turning on the power switch located at the top.

Accompanied by the colorful elf entertainment LOGO screen appeared on the screen, and the hard plastic on the upper part of the frame was lit by lights.

The installation of the base plate of this arcade machine is completely completed.

From start to finish, the substrate installation time is no more than five minutes.

Even if you include the time it takes to remove the original substrate, ten minutes is definitely enough.

"As you can see, the substrate replacement of this arcade machine is so easy that even people with no experience can operate it after a short period of learning."

Tetsuya Aragaki said to everyone.

But at the end, I don't forget to remind, "Of course, this arcade machine only supports our dedicated gaming baseboard." ”

The former head of the sales department, Yuan Zhensheng, saw this and said with surprise on his face.

"Minister Aragaki, this arcade machine is just perfect! I just want to know when it will be available? ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Qianyuan Zhensheng is so excited.

In today's arcade market, the biggest headache for arcade operators is that replacing arcade machines is too troublesome and costly.

Because each manufacturer's arcade substrate, frame, and even the display are not suitable.

As a result, if they wanted to change the game, the old arcade machine was difficult to use, so they had to sell it to recyclers at a low price.

You must know that frames, monitors, and other hardware devices are not cheap, and the combined price is not much cheaper than a substrate.

As a result, arcade operators are very cautious when purchasing new games, and are easily reluctant to change games.

But in the face of players who like the new and hate the old, they don't want to lose the competition, and they have to spend a lot of money to replace the new arcade machine.

The high operating costs make arcade operators miserable.

Now the emergence of the second generation of Arcade Machines of Elf Entertainment, although it cannot solve all the problems, it is at least half of the problem.

Just buy this arcade machine from Genie Entertainment.

Replacing a game no longer requires the need to retire the original hardware, and the cost is at least half of the cost.

Compared with the huge cost advantage, it is easy to replace, and there is no need for professional on-site service, and it can be solved by yourself, but it is a trivial matter.

Faced with Maemoto Shinsheng's question, Aragaki Tetsu replied with a slightly helpless expression.

"Former Minister Moto, I need to explain that this arcade machine was developed according to President Hanyu's modular approach.

In just over a year, we spent more than 500 million yen on R&D, and we achieved more than just modularizing the game board. ”

Tetsuya Aragaki seems to think that the language is not easy to explain, so he starts to operate it directly.

He called a subordinate to cooperate, and in front of everyone, he easily dismantled and installed the joystick, buttons, stereo, and even the screen.

"All the accessories provided by these third-party manufacturers can be easily replaced, so if we want such an arcade machine to be listed, it is not just our business, but all manufacturers must work together."

He also emphasized, "The most important thing is that although the modular design seems convenient, it indirectly increases the production cost, so the cost price of this arcade machine is higher than that of the old arcade machine." ”

Tetsuya Aragaki's words made Satoshi Iwata couldn't help but sigh.

"The future is great, but production and promotion are a problem."

Junzhong Kusamura, the head of the production department, said, "If there is no sales in the early stage, those third-party manufacturers may not be too active." ”

"And those arcade owners, no matter how good you talk about the future with them, as long as the price increases, then there is no prospect." Maemoto Zhensheng said.

As the head of the sales department, he is well aware of the habits of those small bosses.

Seeing that everyone was sad, Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu unhurriedly.

According to what she knows about Hideki Hanyu, Hideki Hanyu definitely doesn't fight unprepared battles.

Since Hideki Hanyu asked Maesei Maemoto to develop this arcade, he would definitely take these issues into account.

Who would have thought that under the gaze of Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu, who had been staring at the arcade screen in front of him, said something that everyone didn't expect.

"The game looks good."

Everyone at the scene was a little confused by Hanyu Hideki's words, and they couldn't help but look at the arcade screen.

On the screen, the arcade machine automatically displays the game screen when no one is using it.

Two small squirrels with similar appearances are beating through a game scene full of life props.

When they face an enemy, they can throw a variety of fruits or forks.

You can pick up the wooden box and throw it out, or you can buckle the wooden box directly on yourself, and cute two peeking eyes are displayed on the box.

The most interesting thing is that the things they throw can attack not only enemies, but also teammates.

You can even just pick up your teammates and throw them out.

Just looking at the demo, I feel like it's a fun game.

"Throw coins into me, since I said that I tried it, just to see how it works, I must play it myself."

Hanyu said to Tetsuya Aragaki.

Tetsu Aragaki didn't understand why Hideki Hanyu suddenly wanted to play a game at such a time, but he still put a special game coin into it.

"I didn't expect Toshihiko Nakato to develop the squirrel battle so quickly, I thought I would have to wait a while."

Hideki Hanyu sighed while playing.

"Nakago-san has just finished developing, and he knew that I was testing the new arcade machine, so he asked me to test the game together."

Tetsuya Aragaki explained.

"I see, it feels pretty good." Hideki Hanyu said.

He felt that although this squirrel battle was slightly different from the version in his previous life, it was slightly different in subtleties.

But the overall style, as well as the feeling of operation, is not much different.

It's just a solo game, and you can't experience the "mutual pit" feature in the game at all.

So after playing for a while, he let go of the joystick, got up and asked a few people around him, "What do you think of this game?" ”

When everyone heard Hideki Hanyu's question, question marks appeared in their minds.

Aren't you here to try out the arcade today? How to talk about the game.

How does it feel like I'm here to review the game.

"Looks interesting." Only Satoshi Iwata gave an answer.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Hideki Hanyu pointed to the little squirrel on the screen with a smile.

"I know what you're thinking, this arcade machine is really good.

But I would like to remind everyone that the advantages of the modular design of this arcade machine are only beneficial to the operator.

There is only one group that can really determine whether it can succeed or not, and that is the players.

When we didn't have this arcade machine before, didn't the game board sell well?

So in my opinion, we can't just think about the hardware and ignore the advantages of our software. ”

In Hanyu's heart, although he feels that hardware performance is very important.

But he believes that if a game company wants to bring happiness to players, it always depends on the game itself.

In the original time and space, those console manufacturers who competed for supremacy in the golden age of games.

At its peak, it can compete with Nintendo, and even surpass Nintendo.

But it was Nintendo who had the last laugh.

Even when the global game market gradually declined in later generations, Nintendo's profits rose against the trend, not decreasing but increasing.

What does Nintendo rely on? Is the performance of the Switch game console ridiculed as a "little overlord"?

No.

It's a game that relies on players who are willing to pay for it.

These people in front of him are the top executives of Elf Entertainment, the helmsman of Elf Entertainment, and he hopes that these people will realize this.

Of course, after expressing what he thinks, the next step is to return to the real question.

Production and launch of this arcade machine.

Eri Kitahara guessed well, for these questions, Hanyu Hideki does have a draft in his heart.

He didn't change places, asked the staff to help move the stools, closed the door, and started the impromptu meeting directly in this studio.

"Everyone has already seen that if all goes well, this arcade machine has a good chance of unifying the non-direct arcade market.

At that time, not only will our games sell better, but we will even be able to represent third-party game developers' games just like consoles. ”

Hanyu Hideki said this, and did not give an answer personally.

He still hopes that everyone can think together, and not rely on him for everything.

So lead the inquiry first.

"But what do you think is the most important thing to do this?"

Faced with Hideki Hanyu's question, Satoshi Iwata took the lead in answering.

"Speed, we must achieve a certain market share at the fastest speed, and we can't give other manufacturers time to react."

Tetsuya Aragaki also said, "It took a long time for our host to develop, and it can be started from scratch, which is different from directly imitating the finished product, as long as our arcade machine is on the market, I'm afraid that similar products will be developed in half a year." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Hanyu Hideki continued to ask.

"But if you want to quickly reach a certain market share, you must have a large amount of stock, and you must quickly make the arcade market accept our arcade machines."

Hideki Hanyu said this and asked everyone again.

"So, how do we convince our suppliers to supply in large quantities? And how do we get those bosses to accept our arcade? ”

As the head of the production department, Juntada Kusamura answered the first question after hearing Hideki Hanyu's question, thinking for a while.

"In the absence of sales, you want suppliers to supply in large quantities, unless you sign a guaranteed production contract with them."

"The guarantee is equivalent to taking all the risks of opening up the market, so there must be a discount on the price, after all, once the market opens, they are also the beneficiaries." Eri Kitahara added.

Hanyu nodded in satisfaction.

The answers of the two are basically the same as him in terms of operation, but they are still a little timid in terms of restrictions.

"It's not enough to just have a good price, once our arcade opens the market, then they, as the profiteers, have the responsibility to protect the market share of this arcade machine, so they must sign an exclusive supply agreement."

In Hanyu's view, although the exclusive agreement of the partner cannot completely stop the copycat, it will greatly slow down the imitation.

In any market, as long as it can occupy a monopoly position, it will definitely make more money than the left and right.

I believe that as long as those partners are not stupid, they will know how to choose.

However, they can only say a rough idea here, and the specific details still need to be discussed in detail by their subordinates.

And solving the production is only the first step, the most important thing is how to promote.

Hanyu Hideki looked at Maesai Maemoto, "Maemoto-san, if there are enough stocks, is there any way you can quickly complete the distribution?" ”

was directly named by Hanyu Hideki, and Maemoto really didn't expect it.

However, he is the head of the sales department, and it is only natural for Hanyu Hideki to ask him this question.

It's just that he suddenly asked him to answer, and he really couldn't think of a good way.

He could only smile bitterly and say, "President Hanyu, I haven't thought of a way to quickly distribute goods for the time being." ”

"After calculating the cost and profit, the price of this arcade machine is at least 400,000, and I want to distribute it quickly, unless it is given to those arcade hall owners for nothing."

Eri Kitahara joked.

But as soon as she said this, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes looked at Hanyu Hideki in disbelief.

"Hanyu-san, you don't really want to give it away for nothing, do you?"

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he said helplessly, "Kitahara-san, do you think I look like a wronged leader?" ”

But speaking of which, Hideki Hanyu continued, "It's impossible to give it away for nothing, but the cost problem that arcade operators are most worried about is not unsolvable. ”

"How to fix it?" Eri Kitahara asked curiously.

"For those who lack funds, or don't have confidence in our arcade machines, we can choose to rent them out.

If they want to buy after renting, the rent paid can also offset a certain percentage of the purchase price.

Even those who choose a long-term lease can give them the rented arcade machine for free after a certain period of time.

Of course, in this case, the rental cost will definitely be greater than the purchase price.

As for how to set the rent, how to calculate the offset ratio, the rent-for-purchase price, the lease deposit, the maintenance fee during the lease period and other details, it is necessary for the sales department to make their own formulation. ”

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, everyone fell into deep thought.

In their opinion, the method that Hanyu said was highly feasible.

If you choose to rent, the cost problem that arcade operators are most worried about will be completely solved.

Anyway, if it's not popular, it's a big deal not to rent, and it's just a loss of rental fees.

Compared to the purchase price of hundreds of thousands, the cost of trial and error is simply negligible.

In his heart, Hideki Hanyu is also full of confidence in this method.

After all, this is a means that Capcom came up with in order to promote the third generation of arcade machines.

Unfortunately, the arcade market had declined at that time, and Capcom's limited funds made it impossible to distribute goods on a large scale.

So the final market share is not too high.

It is also impossible to attract third-party developers to join their arcade platform.

But even so, Capcom still relied on this trick to support their entry into the home console market in the case of the decline of arcade games.

Even after failing to enter the home console market, it has survived for many years.

Now this is done by the wealthy Hanyu Hideki.

It was even more at a time when arcade games were still in their prime.

Once Genie Entertainment succeeds, it may be able to lie down for dozens of years of money just by relying on this platform.

If this model can also be successful overseas, the profits that Genie Entertainment can reap are unimaginable.

Even before arcade games declined, they won't lose to handhelds and home consoles at all.

A moment later, the former Yuan Zhensheng was the first to speak.

"Chairman Hanyu's plan is very feasible, and I will immediately work out the relevant lease execution rules with the people in the sales department."

When Maemoto Maesai spoke, his eyes were full of adoration as he looked at Hideki Hanyu.

Their president will always come up with ideas that will amaze others.

"We must do a good job of confidentiality." Eri Kitahara on the side advised.

"Yes, President Kitahara." Maemoto replied.

At this time, Satoshi Iwata spoke, "I think Hanyu-chan's method is very good, but I still have a question. ”

When Satoshi Iwata said this, everyone's eyes looked at him.

They all wanted to know what problems Satoshi Iwata could pick out about Hideki Hanyu's idea.

Who would have thought that Satoshi Iwata's next words were not about the promotion of arcade machines at all.

He pointed to the arcade machine in front of him and asked, "I want to know, what's the name of this arcade?" ”

Satoshi Iwata's unexpected question really stumped the people on the scene.

When they saw this arcade machine for the first time, they all looked at Tetsuya Aragaki.

After all, this arcade machine was developed by Tetsuya Aragaki at the forefront.

Facing everyone's gaze, Aragaki Tetsuya scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"We used to call it the No. 6 testing machine, but we didn't have time to name it yet."

"Hanyu-san, this arcade machine was developed according to your ideas, Hanyu-san don't tell us, I haven't figured out what to call it yet."

Eri Kitahara said with a smile.

"Hey......"

Hideki Hanyu didn't know what to say.

He hadn't really thought about what this arcade machine was going to be called.

But as the president, as soon as Eiri Kitahara's words came out, everyone looked at him with expectant eyes.

If he can't name him, it will somewhat damage his image as a wise and martial artist as the president.

So I can only think of one temporarily.

Looking at the arcade machine in front of him, for a moment, a certain ambition quickly grew in his heart.

"What about Game Platforms, for Genie Entertainment, it's the first generation of products, so it can be called GP ONE or GP1 for short."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he thought to himself that it was fortunately GP ONE, otherwise those two letters would be reversed, and the high and low would be a hip-hop song.

Of course, this is just a joke.

His real ambition is that this arcade machine can become a real arcade game platform and dominate the arcade game world.

Even after the decline of the arcade market, it can further transition to an online platform like Steam.

"Game Platforms, Elf Game Platforms, wouldn't it be better with our prefix?"

Eiri Kitahara suggests.

"EGP? It's not bad, it's an indirect help to the elf entertainment publicity. ”

Hanyu thought to himself that if he called it EGP, at least the first generation of the product would not be associated with someone.

After the discussion between Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara, this new generation of Arcade of Genie Entertainment was officially named Elf Game Platforms.

The abbreviation is EGP ONE.

The production plan is determined by the distribution strategy of renting and selling.

Next, the production department and the sales department only need to complete the specific operation rules.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to be involved anymore.

However, he set a deadline for everyone.

That was to complete all the preliminary work before the start of the 3rd Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition in 1985.

EGP ONE's best stage for the launch was at the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Time was tight, and for the sake of EGP ONE, Eri Kitahara had to give up once again and go to America with Hideki Hanyu to witness the trip of the Genie Entertainment home console test.

However, even without Eri Kitahara, the lineup of Elf Entertainment going to America this time is very large.

There is a hardware team led by Tetsuya Aragaki.

There is the "Game Base" team led by Koji Takida.

There was Satoshi Iwata, who went to America together.

and Hanyu Hideki for the convenience of work, and also brought the newly hired assistant Ishihara Chie.

He originally wanted to bring Reiko Uemura, but Reiko Uemura was ready to get married in March.

In addition, he is not at ease when he hands over the work of Neon to a newcomer.

January 7th.

Two days after the end of my trip to Ota City.

Hideki Hanyu sits in his office on the clouds.

Tomorrow morning we will be on a flight to America.

Today he is here to deal with the final work.

It was almost noon when it was time for the work to be done, and Hideki Hanyu was about to leave.

Reiko Uemura came in to report back to him.

"Hanyu-sensei, Mr. Koichi Minato of Fuji TV is sure that I have time tonight, so let me ask where we can meet."

"Help me book the ** tea house in Shinjuku District, at seven o'clock in the afternoon, I will personally notify Haoyi-san over there." Hideki Hanyu replied.

"One more thing, that Miss Liu from Huaxia said that she would take leave to go to the apartment in Minato District this afternoon."

"I see." Hideki Hanyu said.

Miss Liu in Reiko Uemura's mouth is naturally Liu Xiaoli.

Since the beginning of the school year, because of the school regulations, international students must live in an international dormitory for the first academic year.

This is a dormitory for international students.

Therefore, in addition to making phone calls, the two only have the opportunity to meet on weekends.

But today is Monday, and the other party suddenly asked for leave, probably because he had something to say.

Hideki Hanyu decided to check it out.

After calling Koichi Minato, and after agreeing to meet in the evening, Hideki Hanyu took a car to Minato-ku.

Open the door and enter the apartment.

Before he could change his shoes, the beauty he hadn't seen for a long time threw herself into his arms.

After the warmth, Hanyu Hideki hugged the beauty and asked, "Suddenly asked for leave to call me over, should it be just for this?" ”

"Not really."

"Isn't it? So for what? ”

"There's something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"My parents want to visit me in Neon during the Chinese New Year, and I want to invite my cousin to come with me, can you help them handle the invitation procedures?"

"Small things, you just give their information to my assistant."

Hanyu Hideki followed up and said, "You know I'm going to America soon, and when your family arrives in Neon, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to accompany you." ”

"It's okay, your job matters, and with my current language level, it's still okay to take them to play neon."

"That's good, if you take them to play, if you don't have enough money, go to my assistant."

"Enough is enough, I can't spend all the money you give every month, and I have saved a lot."

"It's not a rare time to consider your family, you must be treated, and your cousin, girls like beautiful clothes, and the money I give you, I can't buy a few clothes in Ginza."

When the beauty heard this, she happily hugged Hanyu Hideki, "You are really thoughtful." ”

"By the way, have you been in contact with that Xiao Xu recently?"

"I haven't been in touch for a while, and I'm busy with my studies."

"I thought you wouldn't be able to put it down."

"Didn't you say, don't care too much about certain people? And that kind of person, even if I don't care, will have problems on their own. ”

"If only you understood."

……

At 7 p.m., Hideki Hanyu arrived at the tea house in Shinjuku Ward on time.

By the way, I brought Liu Xiaoli.

After all, the beauty has been busy with him all afternoon, and it is a little inappropriate to leave the other party alone in the empty room.

However, because he was too busy with the beauty, it was already seven o'clock when he arrived.

As a result, he came, but he still didn't see Koichi Minato.

The reason why he chose this tea house in Shinjuku is because it is relatively close to Fuji TV, which is convenient for Koichi Minato.

Who would have thought that even so, Koichi Minato was still late.

He guessed that there must be something wrong with the other party, otherwise with Hong Kong Koichi's character, there would definitely be no such faux pas as being late.

It happened that the physical exertion in the afternoon was too great, and after Hanyu Hideki ordered tea, he simply ordered some Japanese refreshments.

While Hiroshi Minato hasn't come yet, fill his stomach first.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu and Liu Xiaoli drank tea and ate snacks at the same time.

waited until half past seven, and Hong Kong Haoyi was late.

After entering the box, Minato immediately bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, but something happened to me during the recording of the show and I had to deal with it."

"It doesn't matter, I know how busy the TV station is, has Hao Yisang had dinner, if you haven't eaten, there will be snacks here."

Hideki Hanyu casually invited.

Then Minato Koichi saw a bunch of dim sum in front of Hideki Hanyu and his female companion.

He thought to himself that if you are so hungry, how good it would be to book a restaurant directly, how can anyone go to the tea house to eat.

However, Hong Kong Haoyi finished his work by himself and hurried over, and he was indeed hungry.

After Hanyu Hideki invited, he also sat down unceremoniously and ate it.

However, when he filled his stomach, Hong Kong Haoyi did not forget to get down to business and asked directly.

"Hanyu-san suddenly asked me to meet, what's the matter?"

"The right to cooperate with the satellite channel of the Broadcasting Association, Hao Yisang should know about it."

"You know, is Hanyu-san interested?"

Minato Haoyi put down the snack in his hand and sincerely persuaded him.

"I advise Hanyu-san not to be too concerned, NHK TV has a trial broadcast, and it has lost more than a billion yuan in half a year, and I have already found several TV stations before, and everyone is not interested, otherwise how can I give up the right to cooperate."

As soon as Minato Haoyi said this, he showed a mysterious expression.

"Tell Hanyu-san one more thing, now that several forces have joined forces to apply for the right to cooperate, they are ......"

After saying the names of several forces, Minato Koi continued to persuade in a tone that was good for Hanyu Hideki.

"Although the development of cloud arts is good, it's better not to provoke these people."

Facing Koichi Minato's persuasion, Hideki Hanyu smiled.

He came to Minato Koichi today just to dig the foot of the wall.

So I told Koichi Hong Kong directly.

"The forces that Hao Yisang said are cooperating with cloud entertainment, but they won't announce cloud entertainment until they win the satellite channel."

"What!"

Minato was shocked by the news.

He stared at Hideki Hanyu and asked in disbelief, "Hanyu-san is optimistic about satellite TV." ”

"That's right, and I have some operating philosophy that is different from NHK's."

However, how to operate, before Hong Kong Koichi did not join, it was naturally impossible for Hanyu Hideki to reveal.

"Why did Hanyu-san tell me this?" Minato Hao asked.

"Hao Yisang is such a smart person, how can he not guess my thoughts, although I am confident in the production ability of cloud entertainment, but we lack a person who is familiar with the TV industry and can coordinate the overall situation."

"Hanyu-san wants to invite me to join the satellite channel?"

Hideki Hanyu's words made Koichi Minato's heart very moved.

Coordinating the overall situation, it is equivalent to the president of a national TV.

Isn't that his dream?

However, NHK's heels in the trial operation of the satellite channel made him hesitate.

The satellite channel failed, Hanyu Hideki still has a way out, there is still a way out for cloud entertainment, and those big forces also have a way out.

But as long as he leaves Fuji TV, it means that all his previous efforts have been in vain.

There is no way back.

Although with his relationship with Hideki Hanyu, it is definitely no problem to continue to work in cloud entertainment.

But in the future, it will definitely have nothing to do with the TV industry.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu spoke.

"After there is news on the satellite channel, recruitment information will be released to the public, and if Hao Yisang is interested, he can come to participate in a separate application."

Hideki Hanyu did not directly answer Koichi Minato's question, but applying alone was already a promise that as long as Koichi Minato came, he would definitely succeed.

Gang Haoyi is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands that this is because Cloud Entertainment does not want to contradict Fuji TV.

So the decision was left to him.

If you are willing to be the boss, then take the initiative to give up the career of Fuji TV.

If you don't want to, don't expect Cloud Entertainment to offend Fuji TV for him.

Thank you Mei Yu for the reward of Lotus Yu's father.

I put it out, thanks to the Paulownia big.
