After reading the mediocre invitation, Hideki Hanyu casually put it away.

Next, he took out the sketch he had brought back.

Set up an easel in the living room and prepare to continue the picture book story of Home Alone.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the sound of opening the door suddenly sounded at the door.

"Is it Yasuko?"

Hideki Hanyu asked, and then planned to get up.

Calculate the time, Yasuko Sawaguchi should also come back.

Who would have thought that his voice would fall, but the answer to him was a word of English.

"I'm not your Jingzi."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he didn't have to guess who it was.

Borrow Naomi Watts, who lives at Yasuko Sawaguchi's house.

Hideki Hanyu immediately sat down again.

The other party went to Osaka for a vacation with Yasuko Sawaguchi in the summer, and Yasuko Sawaguchi accompanied her family until recently.

Naomi Watts came back early, after all, she is different from Yasuko Sawaguchi, who is raised by a big man, and she still has to work hard to make money.

Hanyu Hideki heard footsteps coming towards him, and asked without looking back, "How was the vacation?" ”

"Very happy and of course, thank you for this wonderful holiday, your holiday home and yacht are very beautiful."

Naomi Watts walked up to Hideki Hanyu and looked curiously at Hideki Hanyu's creation.

"Then you should be grateful to Yasuko, I have already given her that boat."

Hideki Hanyu didn't mind the other person watching.

"Hehe, although I'm only eighteen years old, I'm not stupid, if it weren't for you, Yasuko wouldn't even be able to get the money to refuel the yacht, although she is more famous than me in Neon, but the money she earns from work this year is not as much as mine."

Regarding Naomi Watts' words, Hanyu Hideki was noncommittal.

He can raise his own woman as much as he wants.

Yasuko Sawaguchi is beautiful and well-behaved, what's wrong with spending a little money.

Naomi Watts saw that Hideki Hanyu didn't speak, and she didn't continue to talk about that topic, after all, it was Yasuko Sawaguchi's way of life.

Although she has a good relationship with Yasuko Sawaguchi, she does not approve of her friend's lifestyle.

Young Naomi Watts didn't want to be a canary to be raised.

In her heart, she still hopes to succeed with her own efforts.

Desire to pursue independent personality and feelings.

Thinking of this, she turned and walked to the door and took out a bank card from her hanging bag.

He then placed it on a paint stand next to Hideki Hanyu.

"What's that?" Hideki Hanyu asked strangely.

"The penalty returned to you, the password is on the back of the card." Naomi Watts replied.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he didn't pretend to be high, and you don't have to give me such words if you say a little money.

Of course, he didn't bother to ask for interest or something.

He just nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." ”

Then I continued to concentrate on my work.

Naomi Watts saw that Hideki Hanyu had received the money, and suddenly felt relaxed.

Although Hanyu Hideki doesn't know how to repay the favor of saving her, at least she can pay back the liquidated damages first.

With nothing to do, she simply continued to watch Hideki Hanyu create.

Because the work is not yet finished, I can't see any content and plot.

Remembering Hideki Hanyu's identity other than being a rich man, he asked curiously, "Are you creating picture books?" ”

"Yes." Hideki Hanyu replied.

Next, Naomi Watts didn't know what to say.

After all, she didn't know anything about painting or literature.

But that didn't stop her from thinking that Hideki Hanyu was amazing.

The man in front of her, even from her aesthetic point of view, has a slender and strong body, three-dimensional and handsome facial features, and a gentle and sunny temperament.

Talented, capable, and super-rich with a net worth of billions.

No matter how you look at it, he is the perfect man in the eyes of women.

Only the bad attitude towards feelings made her feel pity.

If Hideki Hanyu is willing to devote herself to a woman, then she will definitely take the initiative to pursue the other party.

While Naomi Watts was thinking, the door opened again.

This time, you don't have to guess to know that it is Yasuko Sawaguchi who is back.

Then Naomi Watts found out that Hideki Hanyu, who hadn't even moved her butt when she entered the door, took the initiative to get up at this time and met Yasuko Sawaguchi who entered the door.

"My Yasuko is back."

"Hideki-kun misses me, do you miss me?"

"Of course."

——

Watching Hideki Hanyu hug the petite Yasuko Sawaguchi into his arms, he looked pity.

Naomi Watts felt a little strange in her heart.

That feeling certainly wasn't jealousy, or anything like that.

If I had to describe it.

That is the winning or losing heart of a woman who feels that her charm is invalid in the face of excellent men.

I obviously don't want to, but in the face of "competition", I am unwilling to "lose".

It can only be said that a woman's mind is sometimes so elusive.

What Naomi Watts thinks, Hideki Hanyu doesn't pay attention and doesn't care.

It's been a long time since I've seen Yasuko Sawaguchi, and he only has beauties in his eyes.

Yasuko Sawaguchi, who can kill a world in the Showa era with her appearance, Hanyu Hideki really likes it too much.

Even if he continues to create picture books in the future, he will pull Yasuko Sawaguchi to sit next to him.

And Yasuko Sawaguchi is also very happy to accompany Hideki Hanyu.

Soon, though, she found the bank card on the paint rack.

The beauty asked curiously, "Hideki-kun, what is this?" ”

"Naomi Watts gave me a penalty of 10 million yen."

Hanyu Hideki said, casually stuffing the card into Sawaguchi Yasuko's hand, "The password is on the back, and I will use it as pocket money for you." ”

"Great, I can use it as money to take my sister to Hokkaido for skiing."

"If it's not enough, you can find me to get it again."

"Well, Hideki-kun is the best."

Next to her, Naomi Watts said that her hard-earned 10 million was spent at random.

The most important thing is that she feels a little full of dog food.

So, let's go back to the bedroom and rest.

Seeing Naomi Watts leave, Hideki Hanyu immediately said, "The eyesore has finally left." ”

Yasuko Sawaguchi was a little strange, "Hideki-kun doesn't like Naomi?" ”

"That's not true, it's just that if she's next to her, some things are not easy to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's this."

Hanyu Hideki said, directly picking up the petite beauty and putting it on his lap.

Then he kissed it unceremoniously.

After a long time, the kiss ended, and Hanyu Hideki looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi, who looked shy in his arms, and said with a smile.

"I just wanted to kiss Yasuko when we first met."

Yasuko Sawaguchi nodded obediently and echoed in an inaudible voice.

"I want to, too."

"Huh?" When the scumbag heard the beauty's words, how could he still hold back his thoughts.

"Then I want to do more."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the second floor with Yasuko Sawaguchi in his arms.

Showa is the first beauty, he really loves it to the bones.

——

It didn't take long.

Naomi Watts, who was in her bedroom sorting out her next work schedule, suddenly heard a strange noise.

After a while, Naomi Watts couldn't help but roll her eyes when she realized that it was endless.

"That person is like this every time he comes, can't he run out of stamina?"

Should I live in a different place? Forget it, let's bear with it, renting a house in Tokyo is too expensive, and I have to save money to pay for the tuition of the acting school. ”

Naomi Watts struggled and finally chose to ignore the upsetting sound because of her shriveled wallet.

But she didn't know that Nicole Kidman, who once complained to her about Yasuko Sawaguchi's loud voice, is no less vocal than Yasuko Sawaguchi after meeting Hideki Hanyu.

——

Hideki Hanyu lives in a house in Chiyoda-ku.

Accompanied by beauties, warm nephrite, red sleeves add fragrance, four days passed in a blink of an eye.

Soon, it was the day when the locust room held a chrysanthemum feast.

Because he was worried that Hanyu Hideki would forget something, Yutaro Hatoyama also made a special call to remind him to go on time.

Obviously, the other party attaches great importance to this chrysanthemum feast.

Even Yasuko Sawaguchi, after learning about Hideki Hanyu's trip this time, began to prepare for her lover very carefully, for fear of being rude.

Only Hideki Hanyu, who is completely indifferent to the neon locust room, doesn't pay much attention to this banquet.

Even if Yutaro Hatoyama said that it was good for him.

With Yasuko Sawaguchi's farewell, Hideki Hanyu went to the Locust Palace Hotel in Tokyo.

As soon as the people got out of the car, they saw many reporters waiting at the door.

Then there is a continuous stream of flashing lights.

There are many cultural celebrities who came to the banquet tonight, but when it comes to popularity, Hideki Hanyu definitely comes out on top.

If you only count the number of fans, Hideki Hanyu is the first person to be a proper person.

After all, Hideki Hanyu's book club has more members than most of Neon's idols' support clubs.

If it weren't for Hideki Hanyu's special identity and his popularity, he wouldn't care about popularity, and the industry would not be able to report news about him.

Otherwise, his news popularity in neon on weekdays may be close to idol stars.

However, Hanyu Hideki participated in such an official event, and the reporter was finally able to conduct interviews in a fair and open manner.

Therefore, the continuous flashing lights are followed by questions from reporters.

I asked him how he felt about coming to the banquet.

I asked him what works he would have in the near future.

There are inquiries about the future development of cloud entertainment.

I asked about the future plans of Genie Entertainment.

There are even one or two who don't know the depth and directly verify the emotional scandal.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, these reporters wouldn't let him go.

In public, he is not easy to be public.

In the end, I could only pick a few innocuous questions to answer.

"It's certainly an honor to be invited to the banquet."

"I don't have any works to release in the near future, and I don't know what next year's schedule will be for the time being."

"Regarding the development of the club, please interview the person in charge of the club, I don't know much more than you."

As for the emotional scandal, Hideki Hanyu directly gave the questioner a look and let the other party experience it on his own.

After finally dealing with the media, Hideki Hanyu finally entered the hotel.

Then the waiter leads you into the banquet hall.

Inside, Hideki Hanyu saw quite a few acquaintances.

They are basically famous and surnamed characters in the neon cultural circle.

Although Hanyu Hideki doesn't have a good relationship with these people, he didn't deal with each other less when he was in the circle before.

And as we got closer to the start of the feast and the more people came, Hideki Hanyu gradually tasted some flavors.

He seemed to understand what the benefits Yutaro Hatoyama had told him were.

It is well known that no matter what circle it is.

There are people who like to wander outside the "mainstream", be maverick, and show their individuality.

There are people who like to yearn for the "mainstream", get close to the "system", mix in circles, engage in mountains, and form gangs.

For example, in the music industry, there are musicians who don't like to concentrate on their own music, don't care about awards, and only serve their fans.

There are also people like Shunichi Tsukura, who likes to mingle in various associations, but uses his resume in the music industry as promotion capital.

The same is true of the literary circles of neon.

Hanyu Hideki used to mix in circles for "false fame" and "awards", and even in the local children's literature association, he was mixed into the second-in-command position.

It is the younger generation who is "sensible" in the mouth of the seniors in the circle.

is also loved by everyone, and he will be brought with him on weekdays.

However, he belongs to the middle school, and after winning the award, he is not so enthusiastic to a certain extent.

And who can be here today?

They are basically the backbone of the "mainstream" faction.

The identities are basically middle and high-level members of major associations and advisory team members of official organizations.

Deal with these people well, not to mention anything else, there is no problem at all in getting mainstream awards.

It is also very important that Hideki Hanyu has always been accompanied by the cultural medals, and these people have a lot to say.

He finally understood that Yutaro Hatoyama helped him participate in this banquet because he planned to let him communicate with these people more and end his career as an escort for the Cultural Medal as soon as possible.

What can Hanyu Hideki say, he can only say that Yutaro Hatoyama made a mistake with good intentions.

Although he is obsessed with running along.

But it's good to be able to take it, and it's not too much of a pity if you can't.

Now he has passed the period when he needs awards to prove himself.

But it's all here, and he won't pretend to be tall.

Familiar with the crowd social, by the way to appreciate the chrysanthemums placed in the banquet hall.

Looking at the pots of chrysanthemums in front of him, Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that this is what chrysanthemums look like, and it's really boring.

Not long after the party, the feast began.

The one who presided over the banquet was the queen of the locusts.

As for why this one.

I heard that it is because the locust that will kick his legs in a few years is not in good health and cannot appear today.

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that it was okay, the food at today's banquet was not bad, and he had no appetite after seeing it.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Xiangchun Locust Queen also specially met with him alone at the banquet and chatted with him.

How to say it, it's like an ordinary old lady who chatted with him for a few words.

said that he had read his picture books and liked his warm and beautiful style of works, and said that his works brought comfort to the hearts of ordinary people.

For these scenes, Hideki Hanyu went in his left ear and went out in his right ear.

It's just that when he saw the reporter next to him taking pictures and recordings, he thought to himself that if he didn't pay attention to this one, he would make headlines again tomorrow.

And after the reception, the banquet returned to boring socializing.

The only thing that Hanyu remembers is the vague statement of the heads of some associations.

The association has been lacking sponsorship funds for some of its recent events, and I hope that Hideki Hanyu will contribute to the association so that they will also support Hideki Hanyu in some things.

For this kind of thing, Hanyu Hideki has long been accustomed to it.

They all agreed in one breath, and said that they would arrange for subordinate companies to contact sponsorship matters after the end.

Anyway, the company in his hand sponsors a lot of activities every year.

There is nothing to sponsor a few more literary circles.

And don't underestimate these celebrities who are mixed with the mainstream, in today's era without the Internet, these guys also control the mainstream of society to a certain extent.

A little money, in exchange for the escort of reputation, is actually more cost-effective.

After saying this, this locust room banquet with the name of chrysanthemum appreciation is over.

He was busy with socializing himself, mentally and physically exhausted.

After returning to the house in Chiyoda Ward, Yasuko Sawaguchi asked questions with great interest.

In the end, at the cost of helping Hanyu Hideki "relax", he asked the scumbag to tell in detail what happened at the banquet.

And the next day, as Hanyu Hideki expected.

Some of the news about him made headlines.

In this regard, Hanyu Hideki did not pay much attention.

For the rest of October, Hideki Hanyu was busy with the creation of the Home Alone picture book.

There are also a lot of socials at the end of the year, official, unofficial, literary circles, or corporate receptions.

In short, if he can't push it off, all of them are indispensable to run.

During this time, he did not always live with Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Taking advantage of the fact that Chubby Cai was not active, he also went back to Platinum Terrace to live for a week.

After that, because he didn't resist the temptation, he was seduced by the little goblin with a teacher, and went to the apartment in the central area for a few nights.

Originally, I also wanted to accompany Hitomi Kuroki, but it turned out that he and Uesugi Miki went to America to investigate, and he hasn't come back yet, so he can only give up.

Time flashed, October ended, and the calendar flipped to November.

The New Year is getting closer.

Although the picture book of "Home Alone" is still almost over, Hideki Hanyu has to prepare other things first.

Because of this incident, he also happened to have a reason to put off more and more frequent entertainment.

That is, Masahiro Soga of the Shogakukan reminded him that he should hurry up and go to the United Kingdom to attend the award ceremony.

But he has a few more things to attend to before heading to the UK.

November 2,

Genie Entertainment, the president's office of Satoshi Iwata.

Eri Kitahara and Satoshi Iwata were exchanging something in a low voice.

On the sofa next to him, Hideki Hanyu quickly flipped through the documents.

The first is the acquisition of SNK.

After Satoshi Iwata went to Osaka in person, the dust has basically settled, and SNK has become one of the subsidiaries of Genie Entertainment.

Yoshihiko Takado retains a portion of his shares and continues to serve as president to manage SNK's business in Kansai.

The second thing is the cooperation conditions with Toho on a few classic monsters.

Seeing that there were dissatisfactions among them, Hideki Hanyu revised them and asked the team to negotiate again.

Finally, and most importantly, we negotiated a partnership with the Seibu Group on the "Elf Paradise".

This large-scale cooperation has been discussed for more than a year from the beginning to the present, but it cannot be negotiated due to various reasons.

Recently, with Hideki Hanyu putting forward the final conditions, the Seibu Group has further relented, and the cooperation of "Elf Paradise" has finally seen the dawn of success.

Thirty-five percent of the Elves were shared, and the Seibu Group agreed.

It was also promised that a portion of the investment would be offset based on the value of the copyright.

There are still some small details that Hanyu Hideki wrote some comments about.

They are all clauses that seem to be no big deal now, but are convenient for the two sides to decouple in the future.

I believe it won't take long to talk about this.

If all goes well, the 'Elf Paradise' will definitely be officially launched next year.

After reading all the documents, Hideki Hanyu put away his pen and said to the two people next to him, "I wrote everything that needs attention." ”

"Okay, I'll tell them to pay attention." Satoshi Iwata responded.

Eri Kitahara, on the other hand, came over and picked up the documents about the 'Elven Paradise' and looked at it, and then said, "It seems that Hanyu-san has no other requirements." ”

"yes, it's been delayed for so long, it's time to start."

After Hanyu finished speaking, he asked Eri Kitahara, "How did Kitahara-san's work go to Europe last month?" ”

"The main purpose of my visit this time was to expand the sales channels, and it went quite well, mainly because of the popularity of our products."

"That's good, when our channel can be the same as Sony."

"Hehe, Hanyu-san really dares to think about it."

Eri Kitahara only thinks Hideki Hanyu is joking.

Sony's sales channels around the world have been built over the years by a large number of consumer electrical products.

Elf Entertainment wants to catch up in a short time, and there is basically no possibility.

"It's good to work hard, even if it's not as good as it, it's not too far behind, otherwise if there is competition in the future, you can't be held back because of the channel."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Satoshi Iwata and Eri Kitahara's expressions couldn't help but become serious.

Satoshi Iwata asked directly, "President, have you heard any news?" Could it be that Sony is also going to get involved in the game business? ”

"The game market is so hot, do you think Sony will give up such a big piece of the pie? Sony has an executive named Ken Kutsuki who has been in contact with me and has come up with the idea of working with our console more than once. ”

For the cooperation of Takeru Kuzuki Takeki, Hanyu Hideki did not pay attention to it for the time being.

Others don't know, how can Hideki Hanyu not know.

It is said that in the previous life, Nintendo backstabbed Sony, but Sony did not have any good intentions in the cooperation.

In the nineties of another time and space, it was the emergence of Sony that ended the situation of Nintendo's dominance.

Time is backward, into the 21st century.

Sony and Microsoft have left Nintendo far behind in terms of game market share alone.

In the mobile market, which occupies half of the game, Nintendo fell behind early because of rigid management and poor decision-making.

However, there don't seem to be a few neon game companies that haven't fallen behind on the mobile side.

Therefore, don't look at the form of elf entertainment at this time, but it is by no means without challenges, and some things are better to do more than not to do.

"And what does the president think?" Satoshi Iwata asked.

"Recently, I heard some rumors within the club that our market share is so high that there is no need to continue to invest heavily in hardware research and development every year.

And what I want to say is that we can't control what other people do, but we can't be satisfied with the success we have now.

Neon and America's research institutes, to continue to increase investment in research and development, we must not only have the best software, but also the best hardware.

In the future, if any high-level person suggests cutting R&D investment, let him get out of the way, I am not afraid of spending money, but they are worried that they will lose that little dividend! ”

Although Hideki Hanyu is not specifically responsible for the company's work, it does not mean that he has no sources within the company.

Because of the high R&D investment, some executives will give themselves less dividends at the end of the year, so they say some brainless words.

For this kind of person, Hanyu Hideki will definitely not be used to it.

In the previous life, Nintendo led the world in hardware at its peak, earning hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

As a result, in the late eighties, the hardware continued to lag behind due to R&D investment.

In the end, it even became recognized as the most straddling hardware among the three major host manufacturers.

It's certainly okay for Nintendo to pursue gameplay.

But in the increasingly fierce competition, as long as you have shortcomings, that is to give your opponent a chance.

Hideki Hanyu has always been based on the idea that instead of waiting for the other party to take advantage of his weaknesses, it is better to try to do his best.

Compared to the loss of the market, all the losses caused by falling into the competition, those R&D expenses are not worth mentioning at all.

Looking at so many cases in the business world, very few are actually defeated by their opponents, and most of the decline is due to their own problems.

As a traverser, he is clearly prophetic and knows where is the way to live and where to die.

As a result, you have to step into a dead end, then expose your weaknesses and cause the opponent to besiege, and finally fight desperately, spend energy, money, and time, and defeat the opponent seemingly "wonderfully".

This is not a business war.

This is cerebral palsy.

——

After admonishing Satoshi Iwata and Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu declined the invitation for the two to have lunch together, and did not stay at Elf Entertainment for long.

In order to make time for his trip to the UK, his two-day itinerary was particularly full.

Thank you for roaming the sea of books, Oaks 20210815 for the tip.
