Although Hideki Hanyu thought that he was going to find an Australian girl.

But when he arrived in Malibu with a few young, beautiful and well-established beauties, he completely forgot about it.

After all, when a man walks on the beach with big waves of blonde hair and a beautiful dog in a bikini, it's hard to think of anything else.

July 2nd.

Afternoon.

Hideki Hanyu, who experienced the life of an American capitalist who lived extravagantly and absurdly for two days, walked out of the jade bedroom in a nightgown.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he casually warmed up some milk, ham and bread, and didn't know if he was eating lunch or dinner.

Anyway, these days are so high, day and night, let alone eating, the biological clock is about to be reversed.

After taking two bites, he heard a sound on the stairs.

Jenny Wright slowly walked downstairs.

The woman was wearing nothing but silk pajamas.

The most important thing is that the straps of the silk pajamas are not tied, and they are just open.

One step at a time, full of elasticity.

Hanyu Hideki glanced at it casually and continued to eat.

No matter how "good-looking" things are, there is no fuss if you watch too much.

But he still asked, "Are you all awake?" ”

"Nope."

As Jenny Wright spoke, she was already sitting next to Hideki Hanyu.

The man's uninterested eyes made Jenny Wright feel full of crisis.

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he instructed Jenny Wright, "When they wake up, help me see them off." ”

After Hanyu finished speaking, he took a black plastic bag from the table and placed it in front of Jenny Wright.

The reason why these women are willing to come with him is, of course, for the opportunity in their careers.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind throwing small roles to them in the company's independent films.

But other than that, he is not a stingy person when it comes to money.

Seeing this, Jenny Wright didn't move the black plastic bag, but hugged Hanyu Hideki's hand and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

Hideki Hanyu replied casually, "There's something going on, I'm going to Seattle." ”

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Jenny Wright posed as an ignorant girl's curious look.

She tried to make her expression as cute as possible, and "sticked" closer to Hideki Hanyu, trying to gain Hideki Hanyu's favor.

"Because customizing the aircraft requires a discussion with the people at Boeing."

It's not a secret anyway, Hanyu Hideki answered directly.

As for the woman's careful thinking, he doesn't break it.

However, he still gave a warning to the woman's small movements, "Don't move, I have to catch a plane next." ”

"Really......"

Jenny Reita took Hideki Hanyu's hand, dipped it in the sauce on the plate, and put it in her mouth.

Then the blonde beauty has a seductive voice, seductive eyes, and a provocative expression.

But looking at all this, I feel the touch on my fingers.

Hanyu Hideki was unmoved, just looked at the woman indifferently.

It looks like you perform casually and count me as a loser.

With such a cold appearance, the woman he looked at was a little overwhelmed, and her expression gradually changed from charm to stiffness.

Finally, he said in a trembling tone, "I just...... Just ......"

The woman explained for a long time, and it took a while to think of a reason.

"I just wanted to accompany you to Seattle."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu asked expressionlessly, "Don't you need to make a new movie?" ”

"I didn't have a lot of roles in that movie, and the day before yesterday at Inglewood all the filming was over."

The blonde beauty hurriedly replied.

Hollywood's small-budget movies are not inferior to those fast gunners in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu did not suspect that the other party was lying.

Thinking of the credit of the other party's introduction of the beauty, as well as the performance in the past few days, he thought about it for a while and said.

"Give you half an hour to send them all away."

Jenny Wright naturally knew the meaning of Hanyu Hideki's words, as long as she could send all those women in half an hour, she could go to Seattle with Hanyu Hideki.

Thinking of this, she grabbed the black plastic bag on the table and strode towards the second floor.

As for Hanyu Hideki, after eating in three or two bites, he went to the cloakroom to change clothes.

Half an hour later, Rolls-Royce departs from Malibu Beach and heads to Los Angeles International Airport.

Inside the carriage, the blonde beauty had an excited expression.

Just now, in order to get rid of those women as soon as possible, she didn't take any of the money in the bag, and she divided it all.

Hideki Hanyu saw all this.

I thought that this woman was also smart and knew how to make trade-offs.

But it's a pity that neither Bill Hart nor Fred Webb thinks that the other party has the talent to fire in Hollywood.

Although Hollywood is a place where opportunities outweigh talents.

But that doesn't mean you don't need any talent.

Talent here is not just about acting skills and looks.

There is also that mysterious sense of lens, the audience that no one can say, and a little bit of style characteristics......

Jenny Wright is not bad looking.

It's just that the acting skills are mediocre, and the characteristics behind it are almost non-remarkable.

This leads to her being obviously beautiful, but in the camera, she is featureless, not attractive enough, and lacks personal charm.

Even if you play the main role, it is difficult to impress the audience.

This is what later generations said on the Internet, the type that is not popular.

Of course.

If you invest resources regardless of the cost, it is not without the chance of fire.

But no Hollywood studio would do that.

The same is true for Cloud Films.

After being improved by him, "Blood Corpse Night", if the feedback is good, Hanyu Hideki doesn't mind giving the other party some chances.

The premise is that the role does not affect the big picture.

Whether the other party can seize the opportunity or not is not something he can decide.

After all, if it is an important project, even if he doesn't care about money, he must take into account the feelings of Fred and other subordinates.

No more thinking about Jenny Wright.

Hideki Hanyu thought about his trip to Seattle.

Boeing's invitation is, of course, genuine.

As for the 747 he ordered, as a full-fledged model, formal assembly work has already begun.

However, some questions about the interior decoration and mechanical design need to be confirmed by him on the spot, so he has this invitation.

But he had other purposes than Boeing.

In the past two days, he has not only cared about fooling around with women.

Monica Bellucci had already sent two secretaries to Seattle to start fieldwork on a coffee shop ahead of schedule.

Although he doesn't like to drink coffee, he is not interested in running a coffee shop.

But since there is an opportunity to invest, there is no reason why he should not do it.

Anyway, it's just a simple investment.

It's just that he hasn't arrived in Seattle yet, and he hasn't seen the investigation information of the two subordinates, so he doesn't have a clue what to do next.

Thinking about it, the car has arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.

After boarding the Elf.

The luxury of private jets made Jenny Wright very curious.

After all, in this day and age, luxury private jets are a fairly rare thing.

After all, the peak of the development of business jets was actually in the nineties, after the wealth of the rich swelled rapidly.

After all, you can be the richest man in billions of dollars since the eighties.

Until tens of billions in the nineties to become the richest man.

The expansion of wealth is almost visible to the naked eye.

A two-and-a-half-hour flight.

It wasn't enough to rest, and Hideki Hanyu was ready to take a shower to sober up.

lest you fall asleep too early, adjust and adjust your chaotic routine for the past two days.

However, when he came out of the bathroom, he found that the blonde stewardess who handed him a bath towel turned out to be Jenny Wright.

Seeing the strange look in Hideki Hanyu's eyes.

Jenny Wright opened her hand and spun around Hideki Hanyu, showing off her graceful figure in the flight attendant uniform.

Then he asked expectantly, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Hideki Hanyu replied lightly, "Not bad." ”

The blonde beauty was unconvinced and said, "It's just not bad?" ”

"There's a way to make you look better."

"What way."

"I'll tell you when I go to the bedroom."

……

In this way, Hideki Hanyu had to take another shower before getting off the plane.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Hideki Hanyu declined Boeing's pick-up service.

Instead, he got into the car prepared by the two secretaries who arrived in advance.

On the way to the hotel he booked, Dante Kane, the male assistant who was assigned by Hideki Hanyu to sit in the passenger seat of the car.

began to report to Hideki Hanyu that they had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the past few days.

"BOSS, that coffee shop called Starbucks that you asked us to investigate......"

From the mouths of the two secretaries, Hideki Hanyu knew a lot of detailed information about 'Starbucks'.

Some of them he knows, such as the three founders of Starbucks, Gordon Bowker, Zev Siegel, and Jerry Bowder.

They named the coffee shop 'Starbucks', inspired by Herman Melville's Moby Dick, in which one of the first mates of a whaling ship named 'Starbucks'.

But what Hanyu didn't know was that Zev Siegel, one of the founders, had left Starbucks a few years ago and went back to continue to be his history teacher.

And the current 'Starbucks' is completely different from the 'Starbucks' in his memory.

Today, Starbucks has six stores in Seattle.

But in five of them, you can buy coffee beans, coffee machines, and even tea and spices, but you just can't buy finished coffee.

It's not so much a coffee shop as it is a coffee-related retail store.

Even Starbucks has expanded its stores not to sell coffee, but to develop a wholesale business that supplies spices and specialty roasted coffee beans to some of Seattle's local restaurants and coffee shops.

Hearing such an outrageous 'Starbucks', Hideki Hanyu asked his male assistant Dante Kane directly, "What about the last store?" ”

"The last store sells coffee, but it has nothing to do with the two founders, it's a manager named Howard Schultz who is driving it.

According to what we know, this Howard Schultz was originally a salesperson in a retail store and joined Starbucks in 1983.

After that, he was arranged to study and study in Europe for a while, and when he returned, he suggested that Gordon Bowk and Jerry Bowde renovate a sixth store, specializing in Italian espresso. ”

Dante Kane replied to his inquiry.

"What's the benefit of the sixth store?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Dante Kane replied, "We don't have specific data, but the number of visitors is not bad, but it's ......"

"But what?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Dante Kane replied, "But Starbucks founders Gordon Bowk and Jerry Bowde have always been unhappy with the new store, and many regular customers have seen it, and the two founders have had an argument with Howard Schultz in the new store more than once, and many coffee shop customers have witnessed it with their own eyes." ”

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Do you know why?" ”

"I personally asked some customers who frequent coffee shops about this.

Some people say that Howard Schultz arranged too many stools for the coffee shop, causing many customers to order a cup of coffee and sit without leaving, affecting other people's consumption.

Some people also say that the profits from selling coffee directly are not as profitable as those from retail and wholesale.

Others say that the two founders thought Howard Schultz had made the coffee shop like an Italian cabaret bar, and they didn't like it. ”

After listening to the male assistant's words, Hideki Hanyu showed an approving look.

"You've done a great job of collecting so much information in such a short period of time."

Being so praised by the boss, this Dante Kane's eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly talked about another thing he had inquired about.

"Actually, after the coffee shop got off work yesterday, I invited a coffee shop clerk in the store to drink, and I also learned another thing from the other party, that is, Howard Schultz was very dissatisfied with the restrictions of the Starbucks founder."

"It's normal to be dissatisfied."

Hanyu Hideki thought that this kind of thing would be known, do you still need to inquire about it?

In addition to his dissatisfaction, the clerk also revealed that Howard Schultz had recently been close to several wealthy people who often came to the store.

Dante Kane said this, and boldly guessed, "I suspect that Howard Schultz wants to open his own store, but he doesn't have enough money and is looking for a source of funds." ”

"Pull investment?" Hideki Hanyu muttered softly.

At this point in time, it is not the time for Howard Schultz to buy Starbucks.

Howard Schultzla's investment had only one purpose, and that was to set up his coffee shop, "Daily Coffee".

In 1987, after Howard Schultz acquired "Starbucks", the original two-tailed mermaid logo of "Starbucks" and the logo of Daily Coffee were fused to create the green circle on the outside of "Starbucks" in the future.

Because the logo of the daily coffee is green.

While Hanyu was thinking, Dante Kane asked tentatively.

"BOSS, are you interested in investing in Howard Schultz?"

After all, in Dante Kane's view, his young billionaire boss could not have sent the two of them all the way to Seattle to investigate information about a coffee shop just for fun.

In Dante Kane's view, the 'Starbucks' retail store model is no different from other coffee bean retail stores.

What's really interesting is the sixth Starbucks store.

And the sixth store was built by Howard Schultz, the manager.

If BOSS originally wanted to invest in a sixth store, it was equivalent to investing in Howard Schultz himself.

Now Howard Schultz wants to start a business, but he lacks funds, which is the best opportunity for the boss to invest.

Hideki Hanyu did not answer directly.

Instead, he looked at Dante Kane with a smile.

He didn't expect that the male assistant sent by this "ball flower" casually had a very smart brain.

"You're smart." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Thank you boss for the compliment." Dante Kane thanks.

The America people are like that, and rarely have the humility and clumsiness of traditional Asians.

If you have the ability, you are eager to show it to the boss, and then get opportunities and success, which is the idea in the minds of these people.

Hanyu looked at Dante Kane and said, "Since you've investigated so clearly, I'll give you a mission." ”

"Please ask the boss to command, I promise to complete it." Dante Kane replied excitedly.

He understands that the task in Hanyu's mouth is his chance to succeed.

"Next, you go and get in touch with Howard Schultz in the name of my investment company and get an investment in his new coffee shop."

Hideki Hanyu deliberately said in a nonchalant, but serious tone.

"It's a small investment, but I've always hated failure, so don't let me down, you know?"

"Boss, don't worry, I won't fail." Dante Kane replied.

"If you can do it well this time, I will transfer you out of the secretary's office and give you a chance to display your talents, but what the premise is, you should understand."

When Hideki Hanyu finished speaking.

The car arrived just outside the door of the hotel where it was booked, and the hotel waiter came up to help Hanyu open the door.

Hideki Hanyu took Jenny Wright beside him and got out of the car directly, and without looking at Dante Kane, who assured him loudly, he walked towards the hotel.

It's not like Hideki Hanyu didn't want to meet Howard Schultz in person.

But after careful consideration, I feel that investing in an ordinary coffee shop requires him, a billionaire, to do it himself.

I didn't know if the conditions were not discussed, so I scared Howard Schultz away first.

Who does what.

In this case, as long as the money is in place, the probability of investment failure is very low.

Even if the investment goes wrong, he has other backs.

The news of Dante Kane's investigation is already detailed.

But he also knows some things that Dante Kane doesn't know.

That is, the three founders of Starbucks today studied at a company called Pete Coffee in California before starting their own business.

But last year, the Pitt Coffee Company sold its coffee business in California.

As for the buyers, it is the 'Starbucks' who is grateful for the preaching and employment of Pete Coffee.

And next year, Gordon Bowker, one of the founders of Starbucks, also chose to leave.

Jerry Bowder, the last of the Starbucks founders, was more interested in running the California-based Pitt Coffee Company than Starbucks.

Therefore, it was decided to sell the 'Starbucks' in Seattle.

It is for this reason that Howard Schultz has the opportunity to buy 'Starbucks'.

At that time, it will be who has more money and who will speak.

He didn't believe Howard Schultz could compete with him.

After taking down 'Starbucks', it's too late to go back and work with Howard Schultz.

It's just that if this investment can be successful, he won't need to use this cumbersome method of guaranteeing the bottom.

……

The hotel that Hanyu Hideki booked this time was not a business hotel in the city, but a resort hotel owned by Hilton.

Separate resort courtyard, self-covered outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and much more.

As soon as I entered the hotel, it was raining in the Seattle sky.

It's all too common in Seattle, where it rains 200 days a year.

Unable to go out on a rainy day, Hideki Hanyu simply ordered drinks and snacks, and lay down in the covered hot spring pool, enjoying a massage with the flowing water.

Of course, except for the massage with hot spring water.

There is also the service of a blonde beauty from New York.

Jenny Wright helped Hanyu Hideki relax her muscles and asked curiously, "Sir, you don't seem to like coffee, why do you want to invest in a coffee shop?" ”

In the car just now, Hideki Hanyu and Dante Kane listened to the whole conversation.

When Hanyu Hideki was talking about business, she didn't want to bother.

Now that she was free, her curiosity was immediately aroused.

Hideki Hanyu enjoyed the kneading of the blonde beauty and replied slowly in his mouth.

"There is no necessary relationship between liking and investing, if you don't like something, but you know that it has the potential to make money, will you invest in it?"

The blonde thought for a moment and said, "I think so." ”

"Hehe......"

Hanyu laughed and didn't continue to talk about it.

After all, with this kind of unrelated woman, being able to say so much is already in a good mood.

The blonde beauty can also see that Hideki Hanyu doesn't want to talk to her about business.

She simply pretended to be curious and asked, "Are we going to Boeing tomorrow?" ”

"Yes."

"Can we go into the factory and take a tour?"

"Absolutely."

"Wouldn't it be possible to see how the airplanes were made?"

"That's for sure."

The blonde beauty seemed to want to ask something, but she felt that her empty buttocks were patted.

Immediately after the voice of Hideki Hanyu, came.

"Tomorrow you will know everything when you get to Boeing, now ...... Give me a good ......."

"Hmm...... Ah......h

——

Following.

Hideki Hanyu woke up in the morning and drove to Boeing's headquarters.

I came once last time I made a custom 767.

So he's no stranger to it.

Received by Boeing employees, he first visited the production of his own aircraft, and then had a detailed communication with the designer about the interior design.

This time, Boeing has already made a miniature interior design model to scale, and it is clear at a glance what the aircraft will look like when it is delivered.

Just looking at the model, I feel that there is one word, "big".

Coupled with the interior design that is even more luxurious than the 'Elf'.

Flying on this plane is like being in a luxurious palace in the sky.

However, although the new 747 is large and luxurious, the range is far greater than that of the 767.

But not without its drawbacks.

The first is that it's more expensive to use.

After all, the cost of hiring a crew, fuel consumption, and daily maintenance are more expensive than those of the 767.

There are also higher requirements for take-off and landing airports, and slightly smaller airports are basically unable to meet the landing needs of 747.

But that's not a problem for Hideki Hanyu.

Money or something, spending it on your own enjoyment, is better than paying taxes on America and Neon.

After reading last year's tax returns, he deeply felt that the speed at which he spent money could not keep up with the speed at which he made money.

Buying a 747 private jet is simply not enough.

He also plans to take advantage of his next trip to Europe to find a major shipyard to order a superyacht of at least 400 feet.

As for the issue of landing at the airport.

He customized the 747 primarily to cope with the increasing frequency of intercontinental travel.

If you really want to fly any regional routes, you can use the "Elf".

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Boeing's trip was not over.

Tomorrow there will also be mechanical engineers to communicate about other aspects of the design.

As for today's trip, Hideki Hanyu didn't feel anything.

After all, 767 has already experienced it once.

Can follow his Jenny Wright.

When I saw the six or seven stories high, nearly twenty stories long, and more than a dozen stories wide, the interior decoration was like a luxury palace-like private jet.

Once again, I was shocked by the wealth of Hideki Hanyu.

However, since Hanyu Hideki brought people over, it is naturally impossible to just nest in the hotel.

Seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry to go back, and took Jenny Wright to downtown Seattle for a stroll.

Originally, they wanted to wander outside, but the weather was not beautiful, and the rain crackled down, so they had to hide in a department store in the center of the city.

Now, the blonde beauty is happy.

After all, in this department store, there are a variety of brand stores.

When it comes to clothes, bags, jewelry, and so on, there's no woman who doesn't like them.

And Hideki Hanyu is not a stingy person.

Whatever the blonde beauty likes, he will basically buy casually.

After two hours of shopping, the money spent is enough to participate in an independent film.

On the bus back to the hotel, the blonde reminisced about her experience at Boeing and the shopping in the trunk.

The thought in my heart before has secretly become a lot firmer.

Back at the hotel, the blonde is thinking about how to please Hideki Hanyu.

But I saw Hideki Hanyu take out a stack of cash from his wallet and hand it to her.

Then he said, "Go and have dinner by yourself, I have something to do." ”

Then he walked straight away.

Jenny Wright saw that Hideki Hanyu seemed to have left with the two assistants, a man and a woman.

……

At one of the hotel's on-site restaurants, Hideki Hanyu asked Dante Kane.

"Come to me at this time, is there a result of the contact?"

Dante replied, "I have an appointment with Howard Schultz today, so I'm going to report back to the boss." ”

Hanyu Hideki didn't expect that in just one day, Dante came into contact with Howard Schultz.

Ask directly, "What did you say to him?" ”

"I told him that I was an employee of an investment company and had come to Seattle on a business trip to have coffee at the Starbucks he was responsible for, and overheard a guest talking about his conflict with the Starbucks founder.

Then I said that I admired his business model at Starbucks and felt that he could try to start his own business, and if he wanted to, I could try to refer him to the company.

I also said that I have limited time on a business trip in Seattle and hope he will make a decision sooner. ”

As soon as Dante said this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but praise, "You did a good job. ”

In front of Howard Schultz, Dante Kane plays a good role as an investment manager who sees investment opportunities on a business trip and seduces talented people to go it alone.

I didn't directly say that I want to invest in you, and I didn't guarantee that I would be able to help Howard Schultz get the investment.

Rather, it can be introduced, so that it seems real and does not make Howard Schultz feel abrupt.

Most crucially, emphasize that travel time is limited.

In this way, Howard Schultz, who is anxious to find funds, can make a decision as soon as possible, instead of procrastinating, hesitating, and finally delaying for too long and unexpected changes occur.

"Thank you boss for the compliment." Dante hurriedly said.

"Continue to contact Howard Schultz and get this done as soon as possible, I don't have time to wait in Seattle for this small investment."

Hideki Hanyu put on a look of indifference and impatience.

Dante Kane feels normal about Hideki Hanyu's attitude.

After all, investing in a small coffee shop, to say that the boss is from Boeing, on a whim, by the way, he can understand.

But if you pay special attention to it, it will be a little strange.

But the boss doesn't care, but he must care, after all, it's about his future.

So Dante said very solemnly, "I understand. ”

……

The second day I arrived in Seattle.

Hanyu met with Boeing engineers to discuss some of the design requirements.

This time, it only took half a day for him to end his trip to Boeing.

After this discussion, he only had to wait for Boeing to deliver the plane.

However, although the speed of aircraft assembly is fast, the interior decoration is more time-consuming, coupled with the later flight test, it can be delivered before the end of the year.

After leaving Boeing, the weather is good today.

Hideki Hanyu headed to downtown Seattle again.

The reason why he came to downtown Seattle was to see something other than just hang out.

For example, the 'Starbucks' built by Howard Schultz himself.

and inspect the Genie Show, a directly managed store owned by Genie Entertainment.

In the past few years, with the elf entertainment in the American electronic entertainment market.

The expansion of the 'Genie Show' in America is also accelerating.

From just seven stores in North America, it has grown to 213.

Compared to the thousands of large chain stores, the scale of the 'Genie Show' is still very small.

However, as a directly operated store, 'Genie Show' not only has the task of sales, but also has to shoulder a certain amount of after-sales service, and only sells Genie Entertainment products, so the number naturally cannot be compared with retail stores.

Seattle serves as the largest city in the Pacific Northwest of America.

There are two 'Genie Show' stores in the downtown area.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu has already arrived at the second store he visited today, the 'Genie Show' store near the University of Washington.

There's not much to say about the exterior of the store, anyway, the 'Elf Show' direct store, no matter where in the world, is based on white, using a large number of transparent glass and metal materials, and the design is a unified style with a sense of science and technology.

Hideki Hanyu enters the store with Jenny Wright.

The clerks didn't recognize the big boss with sunglasses.

However, he was still very enthusiastic and introduced the products in the store to Hideki Hanyu.

The product area of the entire store is roughly divided into three areas.

The first is the electronic pet area.

From the original generation of 'Tuoma Gezi' electronic pet.

to the third generation of the 'Pokémon Fight' animatronic pet.

Various versions, various models, and some co-branded styles.

Plus the 'Genie Card' product.

The electronic pet alone fills two glass counters.

This area has the largest number of people in the entire store.

There are all men, women and children, and the goal is quite the same, that is, the sales counter of the 'elf card'.

Ever since Hanyu entered the store, he could hear the crowd screaming in amazement.

I guess there is a lucky customer who has issued some precious elf card.

When Hideki Hanyu tried to ask the clerk if the store accepted second-hand card transactions, the clerk said that the 'Genie Show' store only sells brand new card packs and does not participate in second-hand sales.

In addition to the electronic pet area, the second is the electronic entertainment area.

The main focus in this area is, of course, the Pokeball handheld and the PS console.

However, all the derivatives of the two airframes combined, and only one counter was placed.

All the remaining counters in the area are filled with games.

Cassettes for Pokeball handhelds, cassettes for PS consoles, and even game wheels for PCs.

However, the game disk on the PC side will only sell games independently developed by Genie Entertainment.

But cassettes are all games on the platform, and third-party ones can also be found.

Although the electronic entertainment area also has a lot of traffic, there are many customers who choose the console and cassette in the store, and there are also children who play games with the handheld.

However, this area is relatively the least popular of the three areas in the store.

The second most popular area after the electronic pet area is the third area, the surrounding derivatives area.

Genie Entertainment's own copyright derivatives, as well as third-party derivative copyright products that have signed a licensing agreement, can be purchased here.

From dolls with various game images to various types of manual, electric toys.

From comic magazines based on games, to animated video tapes of games.

Postcards, stickers, posters, mugs, pendants, and a variety of co-branded products......

Pretty much anything you can think of here.

And in the position near the glass and wood wall of the store, there is also a row of crane machines, which can catch dolls and other peripheral products.

However, Hanyu Hideki knows that there are many customers for derivatives in the 'Elf Show' direct store, but this is not the largest sales channel for Elf Entertainment derivatives.

After all, the scale of the 'Genie Show' store is still too small.

The real derivatives sales are still in cooperation with those large retail stores.

and co-branded products with other manufacturers.

For example, various stationery co-branded with stationery dealers.

For example, the toy bricks in collaboration with Lego.

Today's Genie Entertainment, with the influence of games, is no longer just an electronic entertainment company.

It is also a world-class toy company.

That's why it's necessary to set up a separate elf spread.

With the establishment of Elf Communication, more professional derivatives operations can be carried out.

Hanyu Hideki believes that the overall revenue of the entire elf department this year will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

In the end, Hideki Hanyu bought a new Pokeball backlit handheld as a gift for Jenny Wright.

Although ten handhelds are not as good as the one I bought yesterday.

But look at the blonde beauty who is excited to pick out the game cartridge.

Apparently quite like this gift.

Overall, in today's era when you can't see zero-dollar purchases, the two 'elf shows' in Seattle still make Hanyu Hideki very satisfied.

Although he is the boss, the stall is getting bigger and bigger.

It is also sometimes difficult for him to manage everything.

At least he didn't have time to watch all the 'elf shows' in the world.

The two stores in Seattle prove that the 'Genie Show' is growing according to his plan, at least in the general direction.

That's enough.

At the end of the second day's trip, Hideki Hanyu did not see Dante Kane.

He was not in a hurry for a short time.

After calling Hibiscus Garden to report that it was safe, he simply took the blonde beauty to play in Seattle.

Taste the local specialties and visit the nearby attractions that you didn't visit the last time you visited.

Taking advantage of the good weather, I also went out to sea to experience seafood fishing.

In America, the seafood on the West Coast is not as sweet and fatty as the East Coast.

But the quality of Seattle's seafood is definitely not bad in Hanyu's opinion.

Although he didn't catch the good season.

But it's quite satisfying to play and eat.

In this way, the time came to July 7 in a flash.

Hideki Hanyu, who was accompanied by beautiful women and had a lot of fun eating, drinking, and merrymaking, almost forgot about investing in Howard Schultz.

On this day, when he returned from a trip to the sea with a beautiful woman.

In the resort hotel, I saw Dante Kane with an anxious face, walking back and forth non-stop.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu appear, Dante Kane hurriedly came up and said, "Boss, you're finally back, I came to you last night, and I can't contact you by phone." ”

Hideki Hanyu said helplessly, "I stayed on a yacht last night, and there was no signal from my mobile phone or pager. ”

In fact, there is a phone on the yacht, but Dante Kane doesn't know about it, so he can't get in touch if he wants to.

Dante Kane said, "It's good that it's too late, and if it's too late, we'll have to go to the gangs." ”

"What's the goof?" Hideki Hanyu asked strangely.

Dante Kane replied, "Howard Schultz has agreed to invest in BOSS's investment company, and even prepared a business plan for the company at my suggestion.

And I told him yesterday that you, as the owner of the company, can meet him in person because you have come to Boeing, and if you approve his development and business plan, you can directly obtain funds without going through the company. ”

"When did you meet him?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"How can I make a decision for the boss in this kind of thing." Dante Kane said.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Then at noon, ask him to come to the hotel for lunch together, and we can go back to Los Angeles in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, I'll contact him." After Dante Kane finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Midday.

At one of the resort's Italian restaurants, Hideki Hanyu meets Howard Schultz, a tall, spirited man who would later become known as the founder of Starbucks.

Although it is accurate to say that 'Starbucks' was not founded by Howard Schultz.

But it was Howard Schultz who really helped transform Starbucks and develop it into the behemoth of the restaurant industry in the future.

So it's not wrong to call it that way.
