Chapter 423: Mental Elephant Chamber of Commerce
The response to the show "Star Creation" was excellent, and Hideki Hanyu felt that he didn't need to care too much.
Therefore, all this time, there has been no influence on the show.
But today, because of Akiho Nakamori's incident, he knew that Yunshang Arts and the program team had made such a plan.
But then again, this can't be blamed on the program team and the planning department of Cloud Arts.
After all, the Genki Girl is an absolute cash cow for cloud arts.
Last year, relying on selling records alone, it generated more than 30 billion yen in sales for cloud entertainment throughout Asia.
Don't look at the little fat dish now with the name of the diva, but in terms of income-generating ability, there is still a big gap between the young girl and the vitality.
In this case, the vitality girl gradually began to transform.
Inevitably, popularity began to decline.
I don't know when such a large piece of income will disappear.
Prompted by this sense of crisis, it is understandable that they want to find an artist who can replace the energetic girl.
After all, these people are not like him, they have eyes that can see through time.
But fortunately, he now knows that it is still too late to correct it in advance.
The province bundled so many high-quality idols into a group, and then threw them into the women's idol market that was stirred into a mud by "Kitten Club", wasting the talents of a few people in vain.
However, he did not immediately sit down to make arrangements, but asked Matsui Motoki first.
"How are you going to arrange the students who have won the debut quota in the Boys' Ultimate Creation Camp?"
"For the time being, we are still considering it, and it should be determined based on the results of the training and the performance in group activities."
Matsui Motoki's answer once again left Hanyu speechless.
I thought that my subordinates really did not do the market how to develop, so how could they do the opposite.
The girl idol group market, which has no hope at the moment, is desperate to pounce inside.
The men's group market, which is about to be hot, is still hesitant and doesn't even have a plan.
"You haven't thought about it? The impression that the girls' creation camp gave to the audience was that some of them were not suitable for debuting as a group? Are you going to make internal discord the main selling point of the new group in the future? β
Faced with Hanyu Hideki's questioning, Matsui Motoki had a bitter face.
I thought to myself that he was the producer of the program, and it was the people from the planning department who made the plans, so don't just reprimand me.
Hideki Hanyu naturally knows this.
He is not the kind of person who likes to reprimand his subordinates, because in his opinion, some incompetent people should just let them get out of the way rather than waste time reprimanding.
And some people who have the ability, but only make mistakes for a while, it is better to tell them what to do directly.
He instructed Motoki Matsui, "Call the representative of the planning department in the program team, as well as other program leaders." β
"Yes." Matsui Motogui agreed, and went to call the people from the planning department in the program team.
Hideki Hanyu said straight to a few people.
"The combination market for female idols has been seriously overdrawn by the Kitten Club, and now is not the best time to launch new groups, so the female students selected in the show still try to debut in the SOLO model."
Hanyu Hideki's voice fell, and the staff of the planning department asked cautiously, "President, when is the best time?" β
Regarding Hanyu Hideki's judgment, not only did everyone dare not refute it on the surface.
I am also convinced, after all, a group of successful artists have proven their own president's ability in this regard.
"When the time comes, I'll naturally say." Hanyu could only answer like this.
After all, he can't tell his subordinates, or a few years will be the era of bands and electronic dance music.
The audience pursues the powerful, the idol industry has entered an ice age, and the collective is cool, and it will take at least the last ten years to have a chance to start over.
However, although these words can't be said, with the last highlight of the male idol group, it can still be done.
"For male students, let's plan a new combination, make the plan as soon as possible, and report it to me as soon as possible."
"I see."
A group of subordinates at the scene answered in unison.
"Alright, let's get busy."
After Hanyu Hideki asked his subordinates to step down, he immediately called Asako Hirohashi and Sanchi Iijima.
He made important arrangements here, and he must inform the two of them.
After all, they are the ones who are now in charge of the club, and Hideki Hanyu must give them the respect they deserve.
Hanyu explained to the two in detail what he was thinking and why he did it.
It can be regarded as taking this opportunity to correct the development direction of cloud entertainment in advance.
If he didn't pay attention to the province, the club was completely deviated to the point that he couldn't pull it back, and missed the general trend of the times.
When he returned to the dressing room, he found that the door to the dressing room had opened from the inside.
Akiho Nakamori walked out quickly, followed by Akina Nakamori.
The elder sister grabbed her sister's hand and loudly persuaded, "Don't be so willful! β
Not to be outdone, my sister replied, "You are my sister, why don't you face me." β
After saying that, he found that Hideki Hanyu was also at the door.
Akiho Nakamori, who knew the relationship between Hideki Hanyu and his sister, immediately cast a look of help to Hideki Hanyu.
But soon she found that the eyes of Hanyu Hideki looking at her were extremely indifferent.
How could Akiho Nakamori know that the reason why Hanyu Hideki had been helping her all along.
Just because of Akina Nakamori, and only for Akina Nakamori.
The scumbag is nothing more than helping to make his woman happy.
If Akiho Nakamori is not Akina Nakamori's sister.
This kind of unknown woman, Hanyu Hideki doesn't even have a look.
Nakamori Akiho would be naΓ―ve if she felt that she had any weight in Hideki Hanyu.
Compared with Akina Nakamori, Akina Nakamori is worthless in his heart.
"Humph! I don't want you to leave me alone. β
Seeing that the request for help was fruitless, Nakamori Akiho shook off his sister's hand, turned around and ran out.
Akina Nakamori turned to Hideki Hanyu and said, "Hanyu-kun, I'm not worried about her alone, I want to persuade her to go back to the apartment first." β
Hideki Hanyu said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home." β
"Hmm."
After Chubby left, Hideki Hanyu didn't stay here long.
Under the congratulations of everyone, they drove away from the training base.
It wasn't until Hideki Hanyu's car disappeared that the crowd in the parking lot breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my own president is not the kind of person who helps relatives and does not help.
Otherwise, someone will definitely be unlucky in today's incident.
"Alright, let's go back to work."
Matsui Motoki gave an order, and the staff left one after another.
Among them, I was brought together, and I couldn't say a word to Hideki Hanyu from beginning to end, all the students of the Creation Camp.
The male students are just that, and they have to worry about tomorrow's final program.
But several female students who have already confirmed their quotas are more fortunate than all the staff at this time.
After all, today's events, to some extent, can be regarded as caused by them.
On the way back to the filming location, Kitajima Mai rejoiced, "It's really dangerous, but luckily President Hanyu didn't blame us." β
"What is there to worry about Island Mai-chan, your father and mother are both insiders, and they can help you if something really happens."
It was Chisato Moritaka who spoke.
Maybe it's because she and Kitajima Mai are not from the same division, and without the intrigue of the divisional creation camp, among the girls, they have the best relationship.
"Don't say stupid things, that's President Hanyu, if you really want to do anything to me, my parents can't help."
Compared with other students, Kitajima Mai is not very old, but because her parents are insiders, she is more aware of Hanyu Hideki's power in the entertainment world.
This is also why, her parents agreed to her to participate in "Star Creation".
As the saying goes, leaning back against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.
As long as she can sign a contract with cloud arts, she needs resources and channels, and she has channels, and becoming famous is a sure thing, which is more convenient than relying on her parents' support.
However, as soon as Kitajima Mai said this, Chisato Moritaka pretended to be surprised and said, "What did President Hanyu do to you?" What the hell is Shimamai-chan thinking? β
"It's you pervert who is thinking nonsense!" Kitajima Mai's retort with teeth and claws.
Who wants to be Sentaka Chisato raised his eyebrows and said, "Think about it, think about it, President Hanyu is so handsome and powerful, if only he could be my boyfriend." β
"Mori is not ashamed." Kitajima Mai said.
Who would have thought that as soon as her words fell, several students next to her echoed Mori Gao's words.
Yui Asaka said, "Chairman Hanyu is only six years older than me, so it's just right to be a boyfriend. β
Kaori Funabashi and Ayumi Sugino echoed the same sentiment.
When Sentaka Qianli heard this, he immediately disagreed, "President Hanyu is what I want first, you can't rob me." β
"Stop dreaming, when is President Hanyu yours?"
"It's ......"
Seeing that several people were arguing, Kitajima Mai, who was a small ghost, pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.
"A group of perverts, wishful thinking."
β¦β¦
It's because it's past the rush hour.
Hideki Hanyu drove home much faster than he had been.
When he got home, he saw that the chef was still waiting for him to have dinner.
He simply didn't wait for Akina Nakamori and asked the chef to start cooking.
After all, he didn't know how long Akina Nakamori would delay after sending her sister back to the apartment.
But just as he waited for the cook to cook, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Could it be that Akina Nakamori is back?
Solved that unknown sister in such a short time?
Hanyu thought so and went to open the door.
Then he saw that standing at the gate of the house was a man he had not expected.
Kyoko Koizumi.
The girl was dressed in a long red dress and stood proudly outside the evening gate.
The evening breeze blows, and the long black hair and red skirt sway gently, showing the beauty of Showa.
Hideki Hanyu opened the door and was about to ask why the other party came suddenly.
Koizumi, who walked in, took the initiative to inform, "It was Akina-chan who called me to come." β
"Huh?" Hideki Hanyu was even more puzzled.
Kyoko Koizumi continued to explain, "She said that she was going to send her sister back to Kiyose City tonight. β
"Okay, I got it."
Hideki Hanyu thought to himself what was this.
Chubby Cai was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat dinner alone, or that he wouldn't be able to sleep alone, so he called someone to accompany him.
What is the character of Kyoko Koizumi, is it not clear to Hideki Hanyu.
Akina Nakamori called the other party, didn't she take the initiative to send the sheep into the tiger's mouth?
A woman's mind is really hard to guess.
But it's hard to guess, he simply doesn't guess.
No matter what the purpose of the little chubby dish is, he just takes it all.
"You're here just in time, dinner will be ready soon, let's eat together."
After inviting Kyoko Koizumi into the house, the chef's dinner was just finished.
After the dishes are put on the table.
Hideki Hanyu said to the chefs, "Thank you very much for the food, it's not too early, you can go back first, and then clean up and let someone else do it tomorrow." β
"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu, we're leaving."
The chef took his assistant and left.
On the side, Izumiko Koizumi, who was quiet and honest after entering the house, was teasing Nako Rulu, and his eyes lit up when he saw the chef leave.
At this time, Hanyu Hideki greeted him, "Come and have dinner together." β
In an instant, Koizumi's eyes became enchanting.
The waist twisted slightly, and walked to the dining table in a variety of styles.
Instead of sitting down to eat first, he wrapped his arms around Hideki Hanyu's neck, got into the man's arms, and sat cross-legged on the man's lap.
Said in a charming voice.
"Teacher, I miss you so much."
Hanyu Hideki glanced at the woman who had completely turned into a goblin, although the initial novelty had passed, but the woman in front of him could always use her "ability" to arouse his desire.
He wasn't in a hurry to do anything, and asked first, "Is there something wrong with your family?" β
When the little goblin heard this, his expression immediately became like a cry, "My father took the money I used to fund his business to stop contacting me and my mother after he went to Hokkaido. β
Hanyu Hideki said, "Then why didn't you say it last time I called?" If Akina hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known until now. β
"I just don't want the teacher to worry."
The little goblin put his head on the man's chest, looking pitiful, but still thinking about the man.
Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that the little goblin would definitely be sad because of the things at home.
But if you want to say that a few months have passed, you can still be sad like this, and you don't believe it if you kill him.
At least half of it is acting at the moment, just to win his sympathy.
Hanyu Hideki persuaded, "Okay, let's talk about something after eating, otherwise the food should be cold." β
When the little goblin heard this, he said coquettishly, "Is it okay for the teacher to feed me?" β
Hanyu Hideki said angrily, "Why don't you feed me!" Eat well. β
Whoever thought that as soon as he said this, the little goblin immediately got up.
Pick up a dish with chopsticks and say, "Okay, okay, I'll feed the teacher." β
Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was unmoved, the little goblin's big eyes turned and said, "Does the teacher want me to feed like this?" β
The leprechaun said, biting the dish between his lips and leaning towards Hideki Hanyu's mouth.
The scumbag was so tempted, how could he bear it, and he immediately gnawed on it.
While eating the dish, I also ate the lips of the goblin in my mouth.
After the kiss ended, the two parted their lips.
The little goblin leaned down and said with a foolish smile, "It seems that the teacher misses me too." β
Hideki Hanyu was eager to explain.
He is actually a righteous gentleman who does not sit still, and he is just a small tree moving around.
But the atmosphere has been gathered here, and it would be a little inappropriate for him to remain indifferent.
As for eating, do the two things together without delay at all.
Immediately after, with the cooperation of the little goblin, he faded the fat under the other party's red skirt.
With a soft cry from the little goblin as he was rushed through, the long-awaited dinner officially began.
It's just that after a while, all the food on the dinner table is finished, and the other meal is not over yet.
The meal started in the dining room, passed through the living room, and ended in the bedroom.
At this time, the little goblin hugged Hanyu Hideki and complained, "The teacher hasn't been with me for a long time. β
Hideki Hanyu said innocently, "The last time I asked you to accompany me to Hawaii, you didn't have time. β
When he went to Hawaii last month, he also called and asked.
It was the other party who said that he wanted to work and did not have time to go.
"I want to go to Hawaii too, but I have too many work schedules."
Failing to accompany Hanyu Hideki to Hawaii for a vacation, the leprechaun's words were full of chagrin.
Hanyu Hideki said helplessly, "Then I can't help it, you were busy when I was free, and now that you are free, I have to be busy again." β
Kyoko Koizumi said, "President Zhou Fang has promised me that he will help me set up a personal office at the end of the year, and then I can arrange my own work, and I will have more time to accompany my teacher." β
Hideki Hanyu said, "I'll wait until you set up your own office." β
Koizumi Kyoko stretched out her finger and gently stroked it on Hideki Hanyu's chest, and pleaded in a soft tone, "Hawaii didn't go to Hawaii, so the teacher will accompany me to go shopping tomorrow." β
Hanyu Hideki shook his head, "I can't accompany me, I'm going to Hakone tomorrow." β
"Hakone, is the teacher going to Kanagawa?"
The little goblin is a native of Kanagawa, and he is naturally no stranger to Hakone, which belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture.
"Yes." Hideki Hanyu replied.
The goblin immediately asked, "Then shall I go with the teacher?" β
Hanyu Hideki frowned and said, "I'm going to do business, what are you going to do?" β
"Teacher, just let me go, I promise that it won't affect your business, and when the teacher's business is done, I can still accompany you to play in Hakone for a few days, it's rare that I have a few days off."
The goblin's words made Hanyu Hideki fall into thought.
After a moment, he stared at the restless goblin and said, "Go and listen to me, don't make trouble." β
As soon as the little goblin heard this, he knew that Hideki Hanyu had agreed.
"No problem!"
The little goblin responded happily, and then said with a coquettish look in his eyes, "Teacher, you are so good, I want to be nice to you." β
After saying that, the little goblin took the initiative to bow down his pretty face.
Lick slowly.
The body position is a little bit, slowly, more and more down.
β¦β¦
The next day, in the morning.
Before Hanyu Hideki set off for Hakone, he contacted Akina Nakamori, who had sent her sister back to Kiyose City overnight.
learned from the phone that the other party's little sister had a temper and said that she should not enter the art world.
Akina Nakamori still wants to persuade her, and it is estimated that she will stay for one more day.
Hanyu Hideki told the other party that he was going to Hakone and that he would probably stay for a few days before returning.
As for the matter of the little goblin, Akina Nakamori didn't ask, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it stupidly.
The black Mercedes S-Class is driven by Marco towards Hakone.
In the back seat, Hideki Hanyu was flipping through the debut plan of the male student group of the creation camp that was sent by the Cloud Arts Planning Department and rushed to produce overnight.
In fact, it is not right to say that it was rushed overnight.
It can be seen that the planning department must have considered the debut of the students in the form of a group before, and the planning should have been done in advance, just to show him, and temporarily modified it.
Hanyu Hideki watched attentively, and from time to time he took out a pen to delete and modify the plan, or add new opinions.
In the co-pilot seat, the assistant Ishihara Tomoe was silent.
The leprechaun sat next to him, not disturbing Hideki Hanyu, and playing Pokeball handheld alone with headphones on.
When he was about to arrive in Hakone, Hideki Hanyu finally finished reading the plan and put away the table in front of him.
Seeing this, the goblin next to him immediately took off his headphones and asked, "Is the teacher busy?" β
"Hmm."
The goblin glanced at the cover of the planning book, "Is there something about star creation?" β
Hearing the little goblin's question, Hanyu Hideki seemed to think of something, and instead of answering, he asked rhetorically, "Do you know anything about star creation?" β
"I don't think much of it, but my sister and mother really like it, and they like a female student from the Tokyo Metropolitan Creation Camp, and it's been sad for a while that she didn't make it to the ultimate creation camp."
Hearing the little goblin's answer, Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, "What's that student's name?" β
"It's ......, my sister and mother still want me to help them ask for a signed photo of that student."
The leprechaun said a name that Hanyu Hideki didn't remember.
"The autograph photo is just a trivial matter, if you want, after setting up a personal office, you can sign the female student directly."
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Koizumi thought she had heard it wrong.
Pointing to his nose, he asked, "My office signed?" The teacher is not joking. β
"Do you think I'm joking?" Hanyu Hideki said with a serious expression.
He had previously told Iijima Sanchi that regarding the popular students of the Regional Creation Camp, Yunshang Arts must not eat alone.
It is the best choice to contact a local office to work together and have them select popular students to sign a contract.
However, other regions are okay to say, after all, the market size is not large.
But the Tokyo Metropolitan Creation Camp is different.
It encompasses not only the traditional 23 wards of Tokyo, but also the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, with a population of more than 30 million people.
This kind of scale is not something that can be done by a single firm.
It's not something that ordinary firms can meddle in.
Speaking of which, the combustion system is undoubtedly a good partner.
Even if Kyoko Koizumi sets up a personal office, the controlling person behind it will only be Zhou Fang Ikuo.
Therefore, using Kyoko Koizumi to sign a popular student is equivalent to cooperating with Zhou Fang Ikuo.
It can also be a good way to avoid some troubles.
For example, the reputation of the combustion system has not been very good.
The leprechaun is not stupid, and it soon becomes clear that Hideki Hanyu is not working with her firm, but the burning system behind it.
However, she still has a question about the signing.
"Teacher, what if the student I signed up with is selected into the ultimate creation camp and finally gets the opportunity to debut?"
Cloud Arts, Cloud Painting, and Cloud Satellite TV invested so much money to hold "Star Creation", but it was not to send benefits to other firms.
In the unlikely event that students from other firms get the opportunity to debut, it will be difficult to control them after their debut.
Hideki Hanyu began to explain, "Although the students of the Creation Camp will not be eliminated, there is a graduation system, and the tentative time is two sessions, and the students who cannot get the debut quota in both sessions will graduate from the Creation Camp, and you can only sign up for graduates." β
The leprechaun wrinkled his nose and said, "Is that so?" I feel like you're still at a loss. β
The Creation Battalion has a total of nine divisions.
The Ultimate Creation Camp can be selected for twenty-seven students, and the popularity of each student who can be selected is definitely not low
But what can really get a debut spot is only a fraction of this number.
And the students who get the debut quota are not necessarily higher in popularity than other students.
It is not necessarily that after their debut, they will definitely be more popular than the students who did not get the quota.
Throughout so many neon draft competitions, there are many examples of champions drowning in crowds, and players who are not popular during the competition become popular.
Having said that, students who debuted early are not necessarily more popular than those who have been in the creation camp for two years.
"We can't take all the benefits, it's not a good thing to eat alone in the entertainment world. Besides, even if Cloud Entertainment wants to sign so many students, it doesn't have so many resources. β
Hideki Hanyu told the truth.
Not to mention signing all of them, even if they sign a batch every year, the resources of cloud arts are not enough.
This is also the reason why there is no fixed debut quota for each creation camp.
If there are no outstanding students in that year, then there will be no quota at all.
Or directly stop holding an ultimate creation camp that year.
As the two spoke, the car had already left the highway and officially entered the Hakone area.
The meeting took place at a spa resort in Hakone.
Hideki Hanyu can live in it right now.
But he didn't, and instead asked Marco to drive to the edge of the small town of Hakone.
A quiet courtyard, green plants and flowers, and a small courtyard with exquisite bungalows.
Because of the contact in advance, a man in a suit was already waiting outside the door.
Hideki Hanyu just got out of the car and greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Hanyu, President Yada asked me to wait for you here."
Hideki Hanyu commanded, "Open the door." β
When the man heard this, he immediately took out the key to open the wrought iron gate of the small courtyard, and walked inside with Hanyu Hideki.
While walking, he also introduced the information of the property, "This property occupies ...... area"
Since the last time he came to Hakone for a few days, Hanyu Hideki thought that this place was not bad, and when he went back, he asked Yoshihiro Yada to keep an eye on the property here.
After being selected, Yoshihiro Yada bought the house for him.
The original owner of this place was to operate it as a high-end hot spring guesthouse.
Therefore, whether it is a house or a courtyard, the design is very delicate and beautiful.
After Yada Yoshihiro helped Hanyu Hideki buy it, he just arranged for someone to simply clean it up, and he could move in directly.
It was the first time for Hideki Hanyu to come, so Yoshihiro Yada specially arranged for employees to come to receive him.
"Mr. Hanyu, there is a sightseeing car prepared by the president in the garage to facilitate your trip, and ......"
After introducing the property, this employee of Yoshihiro Yada handed over all the keys to Hideki Hanyu and took the initiative to leave.
Hideki Hanyu casually handed it over to Marco next to him.
All of his security is in charge of Marko.
Although he trusts Yoshihiro Yada very much, Marco is not worried about others, and will definitely find someone to change all the locks here.
At this time, the little goblin, who had already turned the house inside and out, ran back excitedly and said, "Teacher, let's go to the back of the house to soak in the hot springs." β
Hanyu Hideki glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost noon, so let's go eat first, I'm a little hungry." β
"That's fine." The leprechaun felt that she was hungry herself.
Next, Hideki Hanyu personally drove the sightseeing car and drove several people towards the bustling business district of Hakone.
Along the way, the little goblin who grew up in Kanagawa Prefecture boasted of his local identity and introduced Hakone to Hideki Hanyu endlessly.
As one of the most popular places to visit in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Hakone is not complicated.
It is a tourist health resort formed by a volcanic lake called Lake Ashi surrounded by Mt. Hakone, and is blessed with natural landscapes such as mountains, flowing water, lakes, and hot springs.
It has an area of just over 80 square kilometers and a population of just over 10,000 people.
In later generations, in addition to being a tourist health resort, it is also very rich in art and literary temperament, and there are more than a dozen art museums of all sizes.
It's just that in this day and age, most of those art museums have not yet been established.
Hanyu Hideki didn't mean to hang out, so he led everyone to find a barbecue pavilion, and after a simple lunch, he returned to his residence.
After returning to his accommodation, he fulfilled the goblin's request and went to the private hot spring behind the room to soak in the bath.
After soaking in the warm spring water, the fatigue of the car ride from Tokyo was swept away.
However, the end of August is not the best time to visit Hakone.
Although in neon August has entered autumn.
But people really feel autumn until September.
At least the beautiful autumn leaves of Hakone are not seen yet.
If you come back later, you can enjoy the autumn leaves.
The temperature is suitable, and the bath is the most comfortable.
However, he didn't come to enjoy this trip, but to get down to business, so naturally he couldn't think too much about it.
Anyway, looking at the little goblin's happy smile, it should be very satisfying.
Time came to the afternoon.
Hanyu Hideki arranged for Tomoe Ishihara to take people to buy ingredients, made a clear soup hot pot with his own hands, and ate beef while soaking in the hot spring.
It's not that he doesn't want to eat spicy food, it's that other people can't eat it, and in order to take care of everyone, he can only reluctantly make it difficult.
However, with the sand tea sauce he purchased from Southeast Asia, even if it is clear soup beef, it has a different taste.
And while he was enjoying the food, the little assistant Ishihara Chie came over to tell him.
"Hanyu-sensei, Mr. Naito has sent someone to deliver the invitation."
Hideki Hanyu asked, "What about people?" β
"It's gone."
Tomoe Ishihara said as she put an invitation in front of Hideki Hanyu.
The invitation is beautifully made, with a unique texture of white paper embellished with gold thread and a red rope tied to the outside.
Hideki Hanyu put down the dishes and chopsticks and opened the invitation to take a look.
The first thing that catches your eye is the big words [Neon Heart Chamber of Commerce].
Next to these words, it reads 'Showa 61 Autumn Gathering Invitation'.
Next, there is a series of polite words that begin with "I sincerely invite Mr. Hanyu Hideki to participate in the ......".
It was only then that Hanyu Hideki finally learned that Kensaku Naito had invited him to an autumn party held by an organization called the Neon Heart Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting lasts for two days.
He came to participate as a temporary member introduced by Ken Naito.
Mental Elephant Chamber of Commerce?
The image of the mind, the thought of the heart, the meaning of memory.
Hideki Hanyu, whether in his previous life or in this life, had never heard of such an organization.
As you can see on the invitation letter, this organization has been established for more than 40 years and is a business exchange organization.
Several of the founders are either neon businessmen and wealthy or top elites.
Judging from this, it should be a semi-secret chamber of commerce that will only be invited when the identity wealth reaches a certain level.
Obviously, his current worth has been recognized by some people.
For the time being, it seems that there is no harm in participating in such a chamber of commerce.
After all, in the business world, you can never have too many connections.
Thinking like this, Hideki Hanyu put the invitation away.
Anyway, whatever happens, tomorrow everything will be clear.
Putting the party aside for a while, Hideki Hanyu continued to enjoy the food.
Of course, after eating the beef, he will not forget to taste the leprechaun.
After soaking in the hot springs, he was full of wine and food, and tossed the goblin in the bedroom for most of the night.
The next day, in good spirits, he went out to the party.
The goblin was tired and hadn't woken up yet.
I drove the sightseeing car and told Kensaku Naito about the hot spring resort before he arrived.
Explaining his intentions, the resort attendant led him to a separate courtyard in the resort.
Here, he showed the invitation letter, checked his identity, and was respectfully invited in.
And that's not all.
Next, under the service of several beautiful women, I took a bath and changed into a Japanese-style bathrobe, and then I entered the real venue.
At this time, a courtyard was built around a huge hot spring pond.
In the surrounding rooms, quite a few people had already arrived at this time.
Hideki Hanyu was looking curiously to see if there was anyone he knew.
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from not far away.
"President Hanyu, long time no see."
Hideki Hanyu turned around and saw a girl standing there.
The girl also wears a yukata with a knot wrapped around her waist.
He is not tall, but his legs are snow-white and straight under the yukata, and his legs are perfectly shaped, which is not at all like the hoop legs of many neon girls.
But the most attractive thing about the other party is not the beautiful legs.
Instead, she has a slightly immature and beautiful girl's face, but the capital on her chest is extraordinarily majestic.
A little ravine appeared from the top of the yukata, so that the scumbag couldn't help but want to explore one or two, how deep the invisible place was.
However, although Hanyu Hideki's gaze was a little uncontrollable, his mouth still greeted him as soon as possible.
"Miss Naito, I didn't expect to see you here."
That's right, this girl is not someone else, it is Kensaku Naito's niece, an old acquaintance Haruko Naito.
"That's because Uncle Naito can't come because he has something to do, so please ask me to receive you."
As Haruko Naito spoke, she had already walked up to Hideki Hanyu.
Although the girl had a shallow, gentle and polite smile on her face.
But for some reason, Hideki Hanyu always felt that this smile was a little weird.
It's a bit of a fake to be exact.
It's as if you're wearing a mask with a smirk on your face.
Perhaps the eldest lady of this kind of big family has engraved this etiquette on her face.
Whether you are happy or not, you can laugh instinctively.
Hideki Hanyu ignored the smirk and continued, "It seems that Miss Naito is familiar with this party. β
"When I was a child, I used to attend, but after my grandfather stopped coming a few years ago, I stopped coming."
Haruko Naito said and made an inviting gesture to Hideki Hanyu, "President Hanyu, I'll take you to meet the person in charge of this autumn gathering next, and by the way, I'll tell you some common sense here." β
"Then please Miss Naito."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he followed Haruko Naito.
Next, Hideki Hanyu learned some things about the Mental Elephant Chamber of Commerce from Haruko Naito's mouth.
In any case, this is a loose business communication organization with thresholds.
The purpose of the establishment is naturally to expand the network and communicate with each other.
If a newcomer wants to join, in addition to his or her own identity and value, he or she must also be introduced by an old member.
Then, with the approval of the Chamber's committee, a temporary status invitation can be issued to attend the annual meetings held in the spring and autumn.
After attending the meeting, as long as the performance is recognized by the committee, you will be granted full membership.
Next, Hideki Hanyu was introduced by Haruko Naito.
I got to know several committee members who were present at this autumn gathering.
Some of these people are known to Hideki Hanyu, and some are completely unfamiliar.
However, after listening to the introduction, he found that there were experts and scholars from well-known universities among several people.
Of course, he doesn't know much about the background of experts and scholars as a newcomer.
As the person in charge of this autumn gathering, they also introduced to Hideki Hanyu.
On the first day of the autumn gathering, it is a time for free activities and exchanges.
Hideki Hanyu can choose to stay here or leave early.
The second day of the autumn gathering was a business cooperation meeting.
Members are required to participate if there is no emergency.
Especially for temporary invitees like Hideki Hanyu, if you don't participate, you basically have no hope of officially joining the club.
And after saying goodbye to several committee members, Haruko Naito also told Hideki Hanyu something in private.
That is, Hideki Hanyu wants to join the association, and there is another hidden condition, that is, to contribute at the business cooperation open meeting the next day.
By the hot spring pool, Hideki Hanyu, who was soaking his feet in the hot spring pool, asked a little strangely after hearing the word contribution.
"Contribution? What am I going to contribute. β
"Some people will put some assets that are more troublesome and difficult to handle outside in the public meeting, and this is the time for newcomers like President Hanyu to contribute."
As soon as Haruko Naito said this, Hideki Hanyu immediately frowned.
He knew that such a threshold business organization could only be friendly to new members.
If you think about it a little deeper, I'm afraid that Kensaku Naito didn't have any good intentions when he invited him to this party.
Even, it can be understood as a harvest of the neon traditional elite class, a new rich man like him.
At this time, Haruko Naito said meaningfully, "President Hanyu, don't underestimate the Heart Elephant Chamber of Commerce, integrating into this circle will be of great benefit to you, but if you want benefits, you must pay a price." β
"What good can I do?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"I've heard that President Hanyu's Cloud Entertainment is making an acquisition, and the acquisition target seems to be called Tsutaya Bookstore, but it's just a little troublesome, and Ito-Yokado seems to be interested in that bookstore as well."
As soon as Haruko Naito said this, Hanyu Hideki's uncaring stall hand admitted, "That's right. β
It's no secret that Cloud Entertainment acquired Tsutaya Bookstore and fought with Ito-Yokado, who was invited by Tsutaya Shoten's founder, Muneaki Masuda.
Neon Financial Media has been reported on it several times.
Not to mention Haruko Naito, even ordinary people can say a few words.
Haruko Naito said, "Ito-Yokado is also a member of the Mental Elephant Chamber of Commerce, and if President Hanyu can join the Mental Elephant Chamber of Commerce, the committee can help you mediate the matter." β
"I don't want mediation, I'm bound to get Tsutaya Bookstore."
Hideki Hanyu has a tough attitude.
In particular, Hideki Hanyu was wearing a bathrobe at this time, and the angular muscles in the open area in front of him were faintly visible, which made it even more imposing with a tough attitude.
Haruko Naito couldn't help but peek a few times, and her pretty face was slightly red.
