February 28th.

The last day of February.

In Shirokanedai, the living room of Hideki Hanyu's house, the warm spring sun shines through the glass, casting undulating silhouettes on the room.

Facing the direction of the light, supporting a wooden easel, Hideki Hanyu sits upright in front of him, and his hands are lightly understated.

Nakorulu was lying on her stomach in Hanyu Hideki, and the little female cat who had not seen her owner for a long time looked quite clingy at this time, looking like she was sleeping, but her tail was still gently wrapped around her owner's trouser legs.

Not far away, on a record player, vinyl records rotate slowly.

Gentle as watery classical tunes are warm, deep and sweet.

It is Robert Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood", the seventh fantasia.

Under the soft sunlight, in classical music, the handsome writer paints according to the cat, which itself is like a beautiful picture.

It was the second day of Hanyu's return to Tokyo.

He had just come back and had been busy all afternoon.

I decided to put off all the itinerary for the time being and let my body and mind relax.

Often, at this time, I don't refer to the memory in my head, I don't care about winning awards or the market, I just create at will.

This feeling of letting go of everything will make Hideki Hanyu very comfortable.

Ding Dong –

I don't know how long it took, but the doorbell suddenly remembered.

That feeling of being freewheeling is interrupted.

Hideki Hanyu put down his paintbrush and sighed.

If you are in a high position, you will naturally be involuntarily.

After leaving Neon for so long and finally coming back, there are some things that you can't just ignore if you don't want to take care of them.

Outside the house, Marco and other bodyguards were guarded.

It's impossible for ordinary people to bother him.

At this time, those who can be found can only be acquaintances.

When he opened the door, he saw Eri Kitahara waving at him.

After Eri Kitahara was taken into the house, he immediately picked up the little female cat and exclaimed with some difficulty.

"Well, I didn't see it, Nakorulu is so heavy, no matter how heavy it is, she can't hold it."

"That's because your physical strength is too weak, Elf Entertainment has Iwata-san in charge, you should exercise more when you're not busy, health is the most important thing."

After Hanyu Hideki finished persuading, he asked.

"I'm just getting ready for a good day's rest, Kitahara-san suddenly came to the door, is there something urgent?"

"Hanyu-san has been in Xiangjiang for so long, haven't you rested enough?" Eri Kitahara said.

Hideki Hanyu's expression was exaggerated, "Huh? Who said I was going to rest, I was obviously going to work. ”

"Alright, Hanyu-san has worked hard."

Eri Kitahara gave a perfunctory reassurance, and then put down Nako Rulu, "I came to Hanyu-san this time because I have something to say." ”

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Hideki Hanyu invited Eri Kitahara to the tea table in the living room.

He didn't have much research on the tea ceremony, and he couldn't compare to Yanai Masa, but he had seen a lot, and he was so exposed to it that it was okay to pretend to come twice.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was making tea for her, Eri Kitahara quipped, "Drinking the tea made by Hanyu-san can be regarded as a kind of conversation." ”

Hideki Hanyu pushes the tea in front of Eri Kitahara.

"Okay, Kitahara-san suddenly came to me, not to see my terrible tea ceremony skills, but to get down to business."

Eri Kitahara took the tea with both hands, "First of all, my old friend from the Shogakukan wants me to ask Hanyu-san, do you have any plans for your work this year?" Do you want to hold a book signing? ”

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu showed a strange expression, "Why didn't they come and ask me personally." ”

"Hanyu-san wasn't in Neon some time ago, and they consulted Cloud Culture." Eri Kitahara said.

"I only have one picture book now, and the manuscript of the seventh part of the magic dim sum shop, as for the book signing, there is no time in May and July, if you have time in June, find two cities to run."

Although Hideki Hanyu is running around, he also finds time to create in his spare time.

But there are only picture books and magical dim sum shops.

As for the other works, he has no ideas yet.

"I'll have someone inform Shogakukan if you say so, but I'm actually here for this purpose this time."

Eri Kitahara said, taking out a document and pushing it in front of Hideki Hanyu.

At the same time, he said.

"This is a plan that I agreed with President Hirohashi and Iwata-san, Hanyu-san to see if there is anything that needs to be revised?"

Hideki Hanyu took the document and looked at it, first of all, the name of the document.

Genie Entertainment and Cloud Entertainment Peripheral Marketing and Copyright Operation Planning.

Look at the content again.

Officially Hanyu Hideki mentioned before,About the marketing of peripheral products and copyright operation,The part that is independent from elf entertainment。

After letting Satoshi Iwata take charge of managing Elf Entertainment.

He thinks that it is better for game companies to focus on games.

As for the work of derivatives management, it is best to separate independently under the condition of ensuring the cooperation of the content, otherwise it is easy to distract from one and lose sight of the other.

Now it seems that Eri Kitahara not only intends to win the derivative business of Genie Entertainment.

It is also recommended that even the entertainment on the cloud should be eaten together.

And this suggestion was also approved by Asako Hirohashi.

When Hideki Hanyu finished reading the content, he probably understood why Eiri Kitahara did this.

Because many copyrights derived from games, in addition to games and comics, also have a large part of the influence, in fact, because of the cartoons produced by Cloud Entertainment.

For example, "Super Mario Bros. relied on the game to become popular all over the world".

With the help of the popularity of the game, Cloud Entertainment has promoted the translation of animation overseas.

Especially in the American market, the cloud animation division relied on the popularity of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and established partnerships with many TV stations and began to promote other animations.

Although the ratings are good and bad, it is undeniable that animation has brought great help to the promotion of IP.

These IP copyrights, when Genie Entertainment uses derivatives and copyrights to create revenue, it needs to be shared with Cloud Entertainment.

In addition, the two clubs are now cooperating at a strategic level on the tokusatsu drama project.

Although for Hanyu Hideki, this is nothing more than a left-handed to right-handed matter.

However, as the influence of its copyright grows and its income becomes higher and higher, the settlement of the two independent clubs will become more and more troublesome.

Therefore, in terms of cooperation, it is required that the two companies must have a more effective method of distributing benefits.

In this way, it is imperative to cooperate in the establishment of a derivatives and copyright operation company to manage the copyrights of the two companies in a unified manner.

In this plan agreed upon by Eri Kitahara and Asako Hirohashi.

Not only will it separate derivatives and copyright sales from Elf Entertainment, but it will also take away Elf Press.

After all, from the beginning of the birth of the Elf Publishing House, it has been for stories and derivatives, and Eri Kitahara doesn't want to let it get out of control.

And the dominant and controlling party of this new company is neither Genie Entertainment nor Cloud Entertainment.

It's Hideki Hanyu's culture on the clouds.

After all, for the sake of insurance, Hanyu Hideki collected all the copyrights of Elf Entertainment under the management of Cloud Culture.

Even if the operation is split, it is still authorized by the cloud culture.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu finished reading, Eri Kitahara asked, "Hanyu-san, do you have any opinions?" ”

Until now, as long as the boss Hanyu Hideki does not object.

Then, Eri Kitahara will start the formation of a new company completely.

"I don't have a general opinion on this plan, but as for the distribution plan of employee bonuses, let's calculate it carefully, and don't make any mistakes."

In Hanyu's view, it's good to be easy to manage.

But you can't let the interests of your subordinates be harmed for the sake of convenience.

After all, in the past, the income generated by derivatives and copyrights will also be counted in the dividend bonus pool at the end of the year.

Now that this part is separated, the benefits will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

As the saying goes, Shengmien, fighting Mi hatred.

The method of prize distribution that he originally implemented.

In essence, it is equivalent to giving all employees a "dry stock".

It's just that this dry stock is not fixed, and it will be affected by the income of the club, the level of the position, and the size of the contribution.

The company has been in operation for so many years, and the distribution system is working well, and the employees up and down are very satisfied.

It has also established an excellent reputation in the industry.

Let Elf Entertainment become the most desirable club for the majority of neon graduates and talents in the industry.

The bubble economy opened, and Neon Club also began a fierce competition for talent.

All kinds of promises are not given with money.

However, Elf Entertainment sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not fight or grab, but recruited as usual.

As a result, there is still an endless stream of people who want to join every graduation season.

While attracting talents, the job-hopping rate of Genie Entertainment is also very low.

Nowadays, the game market is hot, and many clubs are offering high prices to poach people.

There are also many game producers who have jumped on their own.

But in Elf Entertainment, it is rare to see this situation exist.

The reason for this.

First of all, good company welfare is of course the first priority.

For example, the benefits of buying a house have been implemented for so long, especially after the price skyrocketed last year, and has been praised by all employees of the company.

Then there is the fair and transparent, persistent, and never-before-the-word bonus distribution system.

Of course, in addition to benefits and benefits, there is another thing that is most important to elf entertainment, which is mainly young people.

That's the working atmosphere that is different from other Neon clubs.

After all, the age of the club is still very young, and the boss is Hideki Hanyu, who is "approachable, neither big nor small".

Coupled with the management of Satoshi Iwata, an executive of "studying in the United States".

The internal atmosphere of Elf Entertainment is enough to describe it as joyful and relaxed.

Plus an overall reasonable distribution of benefits.

This has led to a healthy and competitive working atmosphere.

This makes young people, talented people, yearn to join Genie Entertainment.

And once you join, it's easy to integrate into the group and have a strong sense of belonging.

Even in the face of better conditions, they are reluctant to change jobs.

That's why Hideki Hanyu asked Eri Kitahara to calculate the distribution of the bonus.

We can't destroy this hard-won corporate culture for the sake of convenient management.

Hideki Hanyu has always believed that a company that only paints a big pie for employees and does not give benefits will not be able to retain talents.

And giving benefits does not mean that there is no upper limit to satisfying the desires of employees.

As long as the employee feels that he has worked hard, he will get the reward and honor he deserves.

For example, the game that employees participated in the development of this year sold well, which helped the club create profits.

Then the club should give the bonus it deserves.

In terms of honor, it is also impossible to fall behind.

For example, directly distribute prizes and honorary certificates to employees' families, invite employees' families to participate in year-end parties, and participate in trips organized by the company.

For this reason, Elf Entertainment also set up an honor class in the General Affairs Department, which is specifically responsible for handling this matter.

It doesn't cost much, but it works very well.

Through practice, the honors class found that among the favorite reward gifts of employees' families, the top ones are not small household appliances and small gifts.

Rather, it is a photo of the staff and the chairman of the president, Hideki Hanyu, or a signed book of the president.

Especially if there are women in the family, the effect of giving these things is particularly good.

It can always help employees to save face at home.

Last year, Hideki Hanyu was unable to attend the year-end party because of something, which disappointed many family members who came to the president.

I have to say that there is a heartthrob president, and even the distribution of prizes will become simpler.

For this reason, the head of the General Affairs Department of Genie Entertainment has been holding photos and books to ask Hideki Hanyu for autographs.

At one point, it was even suggested that Hideki Hanyu personally come to praise outstanding employees.

Hideki Hanyu, who was harmed, hid when he saw that guy.

Regarding Hideki Hanyu's worries, Eri Kitahara naturally understands.

"I will definitely calculate this matter carefully, and I will definitely not damage everyone's interests."

In fact, there is no need for Hanyu Hideki to say, Eri Kitahara will calculate well.

After all, she also belongs to the people who take "dry shares".

Last year, the revenue of Elf Entertainment skyrocketed, and the dividends she received from Elf Entertainment were even higher than the profits of some small game clubs.

Not to mention paying off the mortgage, he is even ready to follow Hideki Hanyu's advice and buy a few more houses in one go.

Thinking of this, she said with a smile.

"I've been thinking about asking Yada-san to buy a few more apartments in Tokyo, so don't worry, Hanyu-san won't make a mistake in repaying the loan."

Hideki Hanyu also smiled when he heard this.

However, he said, "If Kitahara-san wants to invest, I have a better proposal recently." ”

"What chance?" Eri Kitahara asked curiously.

Her investment in Hideki Hanyu is 10,000 percent convinced.

Back then, Hideki Hanyu "forced" her to buy a house in Bunkyo District.

It's only been a few years, and the value of that suite has already appreciated by 50 percent.

Hideki Hanyu said, "As Crescent Cinemas prepares to go public, it needs to meet the number of shareholders, so it will arrange the subscription of the original shares in advance, and I will ask Asako-san to arrange some shares for Ling." ”

For the subscription of the original shares, Eri Kitahara is certainly happy.

But there was one more thing that surprised her.

Eri Kitahara was surprised and said, "The Crescent Cinema is about to go public so soon, and the game base is still being planned." ”

The plans for the listing of Crescent Cinemas and Game Base Press were determined almost at the same time.

But the Crescent Cinema Line has already begun to act.

It is estimated that the game base will be planned for a while.

"There is no comparison between the two at all, and Crescent Cinema has mastered a lot of real estate, so it is easier to operate." Hideki Hanyu explains.

"I see, but the game base is going to speed up."

"You can consider Naito Securities, which is the cooperation of Crescent Cinemas, behind them is the No. 1 Persuasion Bank Consortium, which can give a lot of help to the listing."

"No problem, I'll go back and ask President Hirohashi."

At this point, Eri Kitahara talked about another thing.

"The contract between the elf factory and the labor dispatch company has ended, and I recently considered whether to renew the contract."

"How so? Are they going to raise prices again? Hanyu asked.

Last year, he went to the Genie Factory to see the EGP arcade test, which happened to be the time for the third-party labor dispatch company to renew the contract.

At that time, the other party asked for a salary increase.

"There was no request for a raise. However, the factories and foundries in South Asia, South Korea, Wanwan, and Huaxia are enough to meet our production needs, and the cost is low.

On the other hand, the neon factory, because of the appreciation of the yen, the export cost is rising, and the reproduction will lose money.

And other manufacturers are also moving a lot of production capacity overseas.

So I thought about keeping the neon production line running to a minimum and no longer using third-party staff. ”

Eri Kitahara's plan, Hideki Hanyu is not unexpected.

On the surface, the neon financial market and real estate market are thriving and booming.

Those in real estate, banking, finance and other enterprises and practitioners make a lot of money.

However, the appreciation of the yen and the increase in export pressure will inevitably allow capital to vote with its feet and accelerate the transfer of manufacturing to low-cost countries.

A large number of factories were closed, and industrial workers lost their jobs.

Beneath the seemingly beautiful bubble.

But it is easier and easier for the rich people at the top to make money.

It is becoming more and more difficult for ordinary people to make money.

This is the barrenness that cannot be seen under prosperity.

and posterity......

Forget it, if you say too much, you have to eat river crabs.

However, for Eri Kitahara's suggestion, Hideki Hanyu gave a different opinion.

"Third-party labor dispatch can no longer cooperate, but we continue to recruit workers to maintain operations, and in the future, the production capacity of the Neon Genie factory will be mainly supplied to the Neon Benbang market."

"Although this will solve the problem of exports, it will not solve the problem of declining profits."

Eri Kitahara didn't understand Hideki Hanyu's approach.

"Kitahara-san, sometimes we can't just think about making money, so just listen to me." Hideki Hanyu didn't explain much.

He didn't want to be kind and help Neon solve the unemployment rate or anything.

Just as a capitalist, a capitalist who needs to deal with the upper echelons.

Hideki Hanyu looks at things from a different angle than Eri Kitahara.

In a society like neon, the workers under his command are also a kind of capital to a certain extent.

Just like after his factory in Sendai was put into operation, because it was a labor-intensive enterprise, a large number of industrial workers were recruited.

So by the time of this year's local elections, to some extent, we can already influence some things.

"Okay, I'll listen to Hanyu-san, but even then, our factory won't be able to run at full capacity, after all, the neon market can't afford that much capacity."

Eri Kitahara decided to follow Hideki Hanyu's decision.

"It's okay, just do your best."

"When I'm done talking, I won't disturb Hanyu-san to rest, and I'll leave first."

"Why don't you stay for lunch? I recently hired a Chinese chef and the Chinese food is very good. ”

"No, I still have a lot of work on my hands."

"Alright then, if you have something I need to deal with, call me in time."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

"Goodbye."

After Hideki Hanyu sent Eri Kitahara out of the door.

Soon the Chinese chef he hired came to the door with the ingredients.

After greeting Marco and his men after eating a bunch of delicious Sichuan dishes.

Hideki Hanyu eats a refreshing meal.

Marco and his men were sweaty and red.

At the end of lunch, just as Hideki Hanyu was sitting back in front of his easel, ready to continue his work, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened by a key.

This house, except for him, and Ishihara Chie, who helps him take care of Nakoruro, has the key.

Only Akina Nakamori has the key.

When he was at home, Ishihara Tomoe would definitely not open the door without permission, and would ring the doorbell.

Therefore, the only one who can open the door directly without blocking the bodyguard and without ringing the doorbell is Akina Nakamori.

Sure enough, with a cheer of joy.

He saw Akina Nakamori lunging at him.

"Hanyu-kun, you're finally back, I miss you so much."

Hideki Hanyu opened his arms and caught Akina Nakamori.

"Hmm...... I also think about Akina, why did you come back so early today, don't you work hard as president? ”

Hanyu Hideki didn't expect his joking question to come up.

Akina Nakamori's little face immediately drooped.

He sighed and said, "Something happened, I'll come back to deal with it after the trip." ”

Hanyu Hideki asked, "At work?" ”

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori shook her head.

It's an accident, it's an accident.

I updated the computer system last night.,And then today the computer gave me a strike.,Toss for a day.,The computer is still stuck.,You can only code words first.,Continue to clean up tomorrow.。

So I didn't finish writing it, and the text was only 5400.
