At the cloud arts training base, Yasu Akimoto handed over a list to Motoki Matsui.

"Matsui-san, I'm sure it's these kids."

Matsui Motogui took the list and looked at it, and was surprised to find that none of the twenty-one trainees were unsuccessful.

He asked curiously, "Does Akimoto-san need so many people?" ”

"This show is special, and it didn't make its debut as Matsui-san thought."

After the player finished speaking, seeing Matsui Motogui's still puzzled expression, he explained a few more words.

"This show is in the name of recruiting amateur girls to become assistant hosts, so that girls can become members of the kitten club and participate in the show.

Whether the girls can debut or not, their own ability is not important, it is only related to the support of the audience. ”

After listening to Yasusu Akimoto's explanation, Motoki Matsui glanced at the list thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

"In other words, even if you can participate in the show, it doesn't mean that you will definitely be able to debut."

"That's right, and in addition to the first batch, the remaining children also need to compete with the real amateur girls invited by the show."

"Competing with pure amateurs, I don't think they will have a problem."

For the children in the training base, Matsui Motoki is full of confidence.

When Akimoto Yasusu heard this, he shook his head secretly.

The other party didn't realize that on the stage of "Kitten Club", the audience may care about ability, but the main focus is definitely not ability.

Unless......

Unless the ability is strong enough to be the same as the Sachiko Kamaike just now.

But obviously it is impossible.

And even Sachiko Kamaike has to create a separate character.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, it's not enough to be excellent.

However, this kind of specific matter, Akimoto Yasushi did not explain to Matsui Motoki.

Even if it is explained, the other party may not understand.

"So when does the first episode start? Is there anything I need to prepare here? Matsui Motoki asked.

"Recording will start the day after tomorrow, and it will be broadcast online in a week, and when the time comes, when the children are on the show, I will give the list in advance."

Yasu Akimoto replied.

"So fast!" Matsui Motoki was a little surprised.

"The preliminary preparations have already begun, and we have to broadcast it before the summer vacation, otherwise some of the show effects will not be able to be done."

"What's the show?"

"I go to school during the day and record the program effect at night."

Yasushi Akimoto and Motoki Matsui didn't say much, but after explaining the members of the first episode of the show, they left immediately.

The production cycle of the program is tight, and as a producer, he is busy every day, and he really has no time to delay.

……

The work of "Kitten Club" is progressing steadily.

Hideki Hanyu also began his official book signing tour.

At the same time, Nintendo, far away in Kyoto.

Received a letter of inquiry for business cooperation from the United States.

When the secretary handed this letter of inquiry to the president Yamauchi.

Yamauchi Pu looked at the contents of the inquiry letter, and his heart was unprecedentedly surprised.

The content of the inquiry letter is simple, Amerika Genie Vision, Inc., has launched a graphics processing chip specifically designed for gaming, called the Nitor series.

This chip is available in Nitor0110 and Nitor0130 with different performance.

Genie Vision said that it can cooperate with Nintendo on these two graphics processing chips.

It can also be customized based on these two chips according to Nintendo's needs.

Yamauchi was a little confused.

If I'm not mistaken, Elf Vision should be Hideki Hanyu's company.

At the end of the letter of inquiry, it was also clearly written that the graphics processing chip of Elf Vision has been successfully used on the Pokeball 2 handheld and PS consoles.

No matter how you look at it, Nintendo is a competitor to Genie Entertainment.

Why did Genie Entertainment agree to Genie Vision to provide graphics processing chips to Nintendo?

It's so abnormal.

Yamauchi's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy in this.

He immediately called Masaya Uemura, who was in charge of the research and development of sixteen hosts, and Gunpei Yokoi, the head of the first R&D department.

Then hand over the business cooperation inquiry letter sent by Elf Vision to the two.

After the two finished reading the inquiry letter, Yamauchi asked.

"What do you guys think?"

"I don't understand." Masaya Uemura said with a puzzled face.

"It's very unreasonable." Junhei Yokoi also feels so.

"You also think there is a problem, is there any conspiracy hidden in this way of Elf Vision, such as wanting to use cooperation to delay the progress of our host development?"

Yamauchi said his thoughts.

For Elf Entertainment to guess that Nintendo is developing sixteen consoles, Yamauchi is not surprised at all.

Who wants to Uemura Masaya shook his head, "I don't think so." ”

In Uemura Masaya's opinion, there is no reason for Elf Vision to be so stupid and make the conspiracy so open.

Gunpei Yokoi, who was next to him, did not mention the conspiracy, but asked Masaya Uemura a question.

"If we use the Nitor series of graphics processing chips, will the development progress of the new console be improved?"

Masaya Uemura nodded and said, "If there is no lie on the inquiry letter, this chip is indeed the one used by the PS console, even if the performance is slightly worse, our research and development cycle will definitely be accelerated." ”

Yokoi Junhei looked at Yamauchi Pu, "President, the letter of inquiry said that we are welcome to go to the elf vision to investigate, if there is a conspiracy, arrange for technicians to investigate once." ”

"This ......" Yamauchi Pu was still a little hesitant.

At this time, Masaya Uemura spoke, "President, I can personally lead a team to investigate." ”

"Then let's go check it out."

The temptation to shorten the R&D cycle is in front of him, and Yamauchi is somewhat impressed.

But even if he agreed, according to Yamauchi's business logic, he still didn't understand Hanyu Hideki's behavior.

However, if Yamauchi's mind is known by Hanyu Hideki, he will definitely tell Yamauchi what the pattern is.

In later generations, mainstream consoles such as PS, XBOX, and switch almost all used Nvidia's GPUs.

At that time, there was a demonstration by Nintendo, and who still didn't understand.

Selling consoles, the real reliance is on exclusive games.

Nintendo Switch's "little overlord"-like performance can be sold so well, do you really think that players are going for the picture?

After the mid-80s, the semiconductor industry took off again, driven by the game industry.

Just take Nintendo and Sega, plus your own elf entertainment.

And then attract other manufacturers, he is afraid that the elf vision will not develop.

As long as there is performance, large-scale R&D in the later stage can be sold at a good price by looking for other capital financing.

It is not like Lao Huang in his previous life, whose shares in Nvidia were diluted to less than 5% at the end of the 90s.

……

On June 18, Hideki Hanyu arrived in Nagoya City, the second stop of the book signing.

As soon as he arrived, he received a call from América.

On the other end of the line was Monica Bellucci.

"My dear, the Supreme brand has been registered, the first start-up capital has been remitted to the company's account, and the two gentlemen have already left for New York to set up shop."

"I see."

Hanyu Hideki answered, and then did not forget to emphasize, "When you report to me in the future, call me boss." ”

"Okay, boss~"

Although the Italian beauty is called the boss, there is still that immodest taste in her tone.

"Boss, when are you going back to America, I miss you a little."

"I haven't had time lately."

"Then I'll go to Neon to find the boss."

"Remember, I kept you in America for work, and if something goes wrong, you know the consequences."

Hideki Hanyu said solemnly.

Later, his tone changed, "I just bought a house and a private beach in Hawaii, and when I'm done here, I'll take you to a new house for a vacation." ”

As the saying goes, slap and give a sweet date.

When treating women, you can't be blindly enthusiastic or indifferent.

Hanyu Hideki's slightly ruthless words in front of him also made Balla feel quite depressed.

But when Hideki Hanyu talked about her Hawaiian house and private beach, her mood immediately turned cloudy and sunny.

happily said to Hideki Hanyu, "Boss, then I'll wait for you, you have to hurry." ”

"I see."

Hanyu hung up the phone after speaking.

It didn't matter if she was a woman or something, he was thinking about the Supreme brand at this time.

Supreme means the highest, the supreme.

Supreme, a trendy brand, has gone downhill when he crossed it.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Supreme's status in the fashion brand industry is still top, and there are many supporters.

The co-branding with other companies is also doing well.

As the saying goes, everything can be supreme.

However, Supreme's reputation is great, but it is also suffering from copycat brands.

Italy's International Brand Firm (IBF) has registered a series of copycat brands in Europe when Supreme is not expanding in Europe.

In the end, it will go international faster than the Supreme deity.

At one time, even many celebrities wore copycat brands without knowing it.

Even Samsung announced the launch of a co-branded product with Supreme, only to find out that the co-branded was a copycat brand.

Although in the end, Supreme fought many years of international lawsuits, and finally won the IBF.

But the proliferation of copycat brands is no longer able to stop it.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu plans to ask the legal department of Genie Entertainment to help register the relevant brands around the world after Yoshiyuki Ishizuka and the two of them open the store.

And once Supreme improves slightly, he doesn't plan to learn from the business practices of Supreme in his previous life, and he has shrunk in America for more than ten years.

That can certainly be a tough spot in a niche circle.

But doing so is undoubtedly creating opportunities for the development of copycat brands.

Niche is not such a way to play.

If there is a copycat brand, it proves that there is demand in the market.

In order to force the grid to ignore the demand.

In the end, it was not played by the copycat brand.

Even in the later stage, many people complained that Supreme's own product design was not enterprising, and it was not as good as the copycat brand.

This is the consequence of restlessness.

Being niche does not mean that we refuse to communicate and progress.

When Supreme is a little famous, let's open a branch in Tokyo first.

He felt that Supreme's money spray gun was very much in line with the flashy temperament of neon paper drunk gold fans during the bubble period.

Everyone has a lot of money to spend, and if you spray it at various gatherings, the sales will definitely be good.

After Hideki Hanyu was busy with the signing party in Nagoya, he left behind a group of housewife fans who were fascinated by him.

On June 20, he led his team to Kyoto.

On the first day, his signing party caused a queue of thousands in Kyoto.

Even though the fans at the bottom of the queue knew that they probably wouldn't get Hanyu's autograph, they still came for the slim chance.

And some fans didn't come here to sign autographs at all, just to be able to see Hideki Hanyu in person.

A writer's signing session in such a scenario is unprecedented in Neon.

For those who don't know, they think it's a top idol who is holding a handshake party.

It can be seen that it is not unreasonable for the media to give Hanyu Shushu the title of "idol writer".

The thoughts of these book lovers, Hideki Hanyu naturally knows.

Especially after the number of cities in this signing meeting, many book lovers came from far away cities just to see him.

Because after the normal signing meeting, Hideki Hanyu did not leave directly.

For the sake of these supporters who came from afar, he deliberately walked along the line of book lovers and greeted everyone in person.

Although everyone was excited to see him.

But he is not an idol after all, and the overall age of book fans is relatively old.

Everyone will scream and cheer excitedly, or shout at him to express their affection.

But there was no confusion.

Even if he sometimes deliberately stretched out his palm to touch the book fans, everyone showed relative restraint.

"Hanyu-kun, I will always support you!"

"Hanyu-san, I love you!"

"Hanyu-sensei, I'm going to marry you!"

In the midst of a book lover's expression of love, the signing party on the first day in Kyoto came to an end.

After Hanyu got into the car back to the hotel, he heard his assistant Tomoe Ishihara say to him.

"Mr. Hanyu, according to the latest data from Tokyo, the total sales of the sixth part of the magic confectionery shop have exceeded two million copies."

"Not bad."

The surface of the Hanyu tree is breezy and cloudy.

But I was still quite happy in my heart.

Two million copies were sold in five days, another record-breaking number.

It's his own sales figures that are broken.

The "Love Letter", which previously held the record, was also issued during the book signing.

2.8 million copies were sold in half a month.

This time, it broke two million in five days, and I am afraid that when the entire signing session ends, the sales volume will be an extremely terrifying number.

The reason why it's so high.

First of all, it has to do with his previous public opinion heat.

There is also the sixth part of "Magical Snack Shop" is a sequel.

It's still a popular sequel that came out after an interval of a year and a half.

The sequel itself has a fixed group of book fans, coupled with the fact that book fans have been waiting for a long time, the accumulated enthusiasm exploded in an instant, and it is natural that sales will explode.

Today, the retail price of "Magical Snack Shop" has increased to 1,650 yen.

Two million is more than three billion in sales.

According to the current royalty share of Hideki Hanyu.

More than 1 billion yen in five days.

This kind of money-making speed is really faster than robbing a bank.

Crucially, this is just the beginning.

This kind of terrifying ability to absorb gold, looking at the entire neon literary circle, can only be done by Hanyu Hideki alone.

National teacher,Idol writer,Popular darling,Housewife の爱......

Look at the crazy parties just to catch a glimpse of the book lovers.

To say that he made money purely because of his works, he himself did not believe it.

It's no wonder that in the neon literary world, there are still people who don't like him.

Secretly, he is not a traditional writer at all.

Relying on face, selling fame and other sour words has never stopped.

But Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about any of that.

As many people like it, as many people hate it.

Is it because others say a few words, he will put the money and stop earning.

With the tiredness of a busy day.

Hideki Hanyu returns to the hotel where he was staying.

But as soon as he returned to the suite, he welcomed a guest he didn't expect.

"Today, why are you here?"

knocked on his door, and it was no one else who quickly slipped in, it was Koizumi Kyoko.

The little goblin hooked Hanyu Hideki's neck with both hands and said sweetly.

"People just happened to be in Kyoto to promote the record, and they knew that the teacher came to hold a signing party, so they came to find the teacher, I haven't seen the teacher for so long, I miss the teacher so much."

"Well, I miss you too."

In this way, Hideki Hanyu, who has been busy all day, has to give a lesson to the leprechaun at night.

And after the little goblin accompanied Hanyu Hideki in Kyoto for two days, he had to reluctantly say goodbye because the next stop was different.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu continued his book signing journey.

After finishing the propaganda in Kyoto, he went to Osaka again.

After two days of signing in Osaka, he took a plane to Kyushu Island, where he arrived at the penultimate stop of the signing session.

Fukuoka City.

On the day he arrived in Fukuoka, he had no activities on the table, so he rarely had a day off.

After a lazy sleep in the morning, after getting up and exercising in the hotel's gym, he really didn't want to stay in the hotel for most of the day, so he decided to go out.

Do a good job of camouflage, I didn't bring many people with me on this trip, and only followed the assistant Ishihara Chie and Marko.

Fukuoka City is not the first time he has been here.

But almost every time I came, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have much of a good walk.

Fukuoka in 1985 has a unique geographical location and has many international sea routes.

It is already the most prosperous city in Kyushu.

However, the construction of Fukuoka Tower, a landmark building that was built on the seaside Momochi Center, which was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the city's founding, had not yet begun.

Hanyu Hideki has one less place to see the cityscape of Fukuoka City and Hakata Bay.

But it's just for wandering, and you don't have to go somewhere to get there.

Sitting in the car prepared by the local hostess, Hideki Hanyu wandered aimlessly.

Soon you will arrive at Fukuoka's most famous Tenjin shopping district.

I found a Western restaurant, and Hideki Hanyu was ready to settle for lunch.

After sitting down, he ordered food, and while waiting for the food to be served, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the window facing the street.

Looking out of the window, I saw that there seemed to be some activity on the other side, and there were many young girls around the door.

Just when Hideki Hanyu was curious about what he was doing.

The waiter at the restaurant happened to come and serve him food.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was looking across the street, he took the initiative to explain.

"This guest, there's a tryout going on the other side."

"What auditions?" Hideki Hanyu asked casually.

In Neon, there is no shortage of various draft activities.

TV stations, economic offices, film clubs, various publishing houses......

As long as the organization can be related, almost all of them will engage in their own draft activities.

"Have you ever seen the manga baseball heroes, sir?"

"Of course I did."

"This selection is to select the girl who most resembles the manga heroine Minami Asakura, and it is said that the final winner will become the poster girl of this year's Summer Gaga."

The waiter explained in detail.

But in fact, when the other party said the baseball heroes, Hideki Hanyu knew what was going on across the street.

Obviously, the "Real Asakura Minami" selection event jointly held by Cloud Entertainment and Shogakukan and Asahi Shimbun has begun.

It's just that he didn't expect that an event to be set up would include such a large range, and even Kyushu Island could participate in the selection.

Seeing those girls walking into the registration point with a wistful expression, Hanyu Hideki sighed inexplicably.

These children have no idea that no matter how good they are, the end result will not change.

After all, the reason why this event appeared was that Cloud Entertainment was just to support Saito Yuki.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu no longer cared about the hustle and bustle across the street.

But when he retracted his gaze, the afterglow swept to two people.

A middle-aged woman holding a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

Inexplicably, he felt that the girl's appearance was somewhat familiar.

But when he wanted to take a closer look.

found that the two had already entered the registration point.

didn't see it clearly, and Hideki Hanyu didn't bother much.

Soon he put this matter behind him and concentrated on lunch.

Across the street.

Authentic Asakura Minami selection event, Fukuoka City registration point.

The girl who was queuing up with her mother was holding her mother's hand a little nervously.

Although she is only a stepmother, because of her tenderness and care for her on weekdays, the girl trusts each other very much.

The mother seemed to feel her daughter's nervousness and said to her daughter with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, my daughter is the best."

Hearing her mother's words, the tension in the girl's heart subsided a lot, nodded slightly, and said "um".

At that moment, the registration staff shouted, "Next." ”

The girl saw that the people in line in front of her had completed the registration, so she hurried up.

Then she heard the staff asking.

"Hello, please say your name."

"Sakai method."

Thank you for the reward

I don't have time for something at home today, so there's only so much, and I'll try to write more tomorrow.
