Chapter 435: The End of the World Is Impossible (Happy New Year)
After leaving Elf Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu quickly made a phone call.
After connecting it, there was an inquiry from Yosuke Yasui.
"This is Yosuke Yasui, who is it?"
Hideki Hanyu said, "I'm Hideki Hanyu, and I'm done with my morning's work. ”
"President, the address is in *****."
"Okay, I know, I'll be there around three o'clock, you have people ready in advance."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Hideki Hanyu went to a house in Shinjuku.
In addition to work, he also asked a beautiful woman to have lunch at noon today.
It's Hitomi Kuroki who has just returned from research with Miki Uesugi from Amerika.
In fact, they lived together last night and helped each other move to a new house.
If you don't move, you can't do it, the original house is too small, and the sound insulation is too poor, which greatly affects the performance of Hanyu Hideki.
Of course, the new house was naturally provided by Hideki Hanyu.
The woman was reluctant at first, and then, just like the last time she transferred the shares of the Uesugi office, she picked it up and cleaned it up, and after a few slaps, she was honest.
And the beauty lived in the new house, in addition to promising to serve her wholeheartedly last night, she also said that she would personally cook lunch for Hanyu Hideki today.
Hideki Hanyu, who eats or something, doesn't care.
But I haven't seen him for a while, and he's interested in eating something else.
An hour later.
In the living room of a Western-style one-family building in Shinjuku, Hitomi Kuroki hammered the scumbag's chest with a small fist on the sofa.
"I talked about eating, but it turned out to be messy in the living room, and the food was cold."
The satisfied, refreshed scumbag looked at the beauty's beautiful body, thinking about the beauty's shame just now, and said, "It's okay, it's the same for you to eat." ”
The beauty doesn't follow, what else do you want to say.
Then it was turned over and suppressed by Hanyu Hideki again, and it turned out that another hour passed.
The expected lunch of love was completely ruined.
Hitomi Kuroki, who couldn't bear the conquest, complained to Hideki Hanyu for a while.
"It's all your fault, I haven't eaten lunch until now."
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll take you to eat something else."
"What to eat?" Hitomi Kuroki asked curiously.
"You'll know when you go." Hideki Hanyu sold a pass.
……
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon.
Hideki Hanyu takes Hitomi Kuroki into a factory in Ota Ward.
The logo of the factory has been removed, and the area does not look large, with only two factory buildings.
Hitomi Kuroki could see through the gap that there were many machines inside, but they were not running.
When Hitomi Kuroki was curious, this is a factory that produces something.
She saw a man in his early thirties, respectfully approaching Hideki Hanyu.
"President, you're all ready."
"Okay, take me to see it."
This man is none other than Yosuke Yasui.
After the other party was transferred away from the cloud art by Hanyu Hideki, he has been busy with the things that Hanyu Hideki explained.
I went to Wanwan for a long time to investigate and investigate.
After returning to Neon, he took the talents and Neon employees from Wanwan and plunged into the research and development here.
After surviving for so long, I finally have the initial results.
Today, let's let Hideki Hanyu take a look at the preliminary results.
Instead of entering the factory, the group went to a small building next to it.
In one office, Hanyu saw seven or eight men, old and young, some wearing factory gowns.
And these people are waiting for his arrival.
After entering the door, Yosuke Yasui began to introduce these people to Hanyu Hideki.
"President, this is Mr. Li, who used to work in the R&D department of Uni-President Food in Wanwan.
This is Mr. Liu, whose family has been running noodles for generations in the northern part of Wanwan.
This is Mr. Funakoshi, who previously worked as the head of the R&D department at this factory.
This is ......"
After a series of introductions, Hanyu Hideki skillfully switched between Chinese and neon, and greeted these people in an approachable manner.
Next to her, Hitomi Kuroki, who was wearing a black dress, didn't understand at all, and Hideki Hanyu said to take her to eat, but he brought her here.
Man, it's really inexplicable.
However, Hanyu Hideki can't care about Hitomi Kuroki's thoughts at this time.
After greeting everyone, he immediately instructed Yosuke Yasui.
"Alright, let me see what you do."
"Okay."
Yosuke Yasui said yes, and then walked out of the office.
Hanyu didn't let Hideki wait long, and Yosuke Yasui walked back.
It's just that at this time, he has a big tray in his hand, and there are several white paper bowls on it.
As soon as the person reached the door, a scent wafted in.
Hanyu Hideki sniffed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this smell is really a little familiar.
I just don't know if it tastes right.
When Yosuke Yasui put the tray in front of him, Hideki Hanyu saw that on the tray, there were four white paper bowls.
There are no lids, and a plastic fork is stuck inside each.
The paper bowl was steaming hot, and it was all instant noodles that had already been soaked.
Of course, neon can also be called instant noodles, instant noodles, cup noodles and so on.
That's right, what he arranged Yosuke Yasui to do was to develop instant noodles.
Instant noodles were invented in 1958 by Neon Momofuku Ando, and they still occupy a large share of the neon fast food market.
However, the taste of neon instant noodles may not be liked in China.
On the contrary, after instant noodles were spread to Wanwan, they were further promoted and became one of the people's favorite instant food products.
The most classic "braised beef noodles" in China was developed by Wanwan merchants.
Through the communication of Genie Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu has confirmed that he will go to the mainland for an inspection in an "official capacity" after the New Year.
This time, he wants to launch a huge investment plan in the mainland.
In addition to clothing, arcades, cosmetics, electronics factories, peripheral products production and so on.
He also does not want to give up the huge food market in the mainland.
In his previous life, he had seen a few of Master Kong's fortunes on instant noodles in some commercial programs.
Huaxia is the world's largest instant noodle market, Master Kong was able to sell hundreds of millions of packs every year when he first made his fortune, and the annual sales volume of domestic instant noodles was tens of billions at its peak.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't know it well.
If you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
He hasn't run instant noodles before, so hasn't he eaten instant noodles yet?
As for the taste of braised beef noodles, he can't forget it even if he crosses it.
Besides, now he has abundant capital and has taken the lead.
Even if it's trial and error, there are plenty of opportunities.
As long as instant noodles can be successful and sales channels can be rolled out, other products will fall into place.
Just copy your homework exactly according to the successful experience in your memory.
At this time, Yosuke Yasui's introduction sounded.
"President, I have developed a total of four instant noodles during this time, as you instructed, you can try which one meets your requirements."
Hanyu Hideki didn't speak, and directly bent down and began to taste the four bowls of instant noodles.
The first bowl, as soon as he took a bite, Hanyu Hideki frowned.
"No, this bowl is too spicy."
In fact, Master Kong's braised beef noodles can be successful, and if you want to say that the taste is extremely delicious, it must be nonsense.
But if you want to say that it is full of color and flavor, it is still barely able to achieve.
Especially when brewing, the rich flavor brought by the sauce packet.
In the later generations of affluent life, the fragrance is really a little "boring".
But in today's era of scarcity, it is an enticing taste that can increase people's appetite.
Paired with a vegetable bun with diced meat, it becomes a rare delicacy in the minds of many people.
Of course, it is also important to note that the taste of "braised beef noodles" is "modest" enough.
Not as light as "seafood noodles".
It's not as spicy as "spicy beef noodles".
This makes it acceptable to consumers from all over the world.
Later, there was a joke on the domestic Internet that the slightly spicy southerners were "braised beef noodles".
This is certainly an exaggeration.
However, this first bowl is obviously spicy.
The first product must be acceptable throughout the country.
If you want to segment the market, wait until you occupy the market.
Giving up a part of the market now is tantamount to giving competitors a chance.
As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, several people around him began to record Hideki Hanyu's opinion.
Immediately after, Hideki Hanyu went to taste the second bowl.
The oil is fragrant, the noodles are strong, and although there are some gaps with the braised beef noodles in the previous life, the taste is still very good.
However, after two bites, Hideki Hanyu found that the bowl was very rich in vegetables and beef cubes.
"It tastes very good, and there are too many ingredients in the vegetable meat bun."
The reason why Hanyu Hideki said this was not because he was reluctant to pay the cost.
Rather, it is an increase in costs, which will inevitably lead to an increase in retail prices.
In today's era, Chinese people's income is limited, and fast food products still have to be economical.
If the price is too expensive, it is not conducive to promotion and sales.
I really want to benefit everyone, in fact, it is better to add more noodles than to add more vegetable packets.
After eating the third bowl, first of all, the taste is too far away, and then the noodles are too soft and eliminated directly.
It wasn't until the last bowl that Hideki Hanyu took the first bite of his mouth, and he immediately felt that the taste was right.
In an instant, distant memories were activated.
There is no one at home, and I work overtime to make up for classes, especially when the Internet café is up all night.
This bowl of instant noodles, plus a braised egg and a ham, is directly the top!
The confidence of shouting network management can be three points.
As soon as that little taste came out, he was the most beautiful boy among his friends.
Finish the noodles in the bowl in three or two bites.
Hanyu Hideki remembered that he still had Hitomi Kuroki by his side, and immediately instructed Yosuke Yasui, "Do you have this yet, soak two more bowls." ”
Hitomi Kuroki also understood at this time, and Hideki Hanyu brought her all the way to Ota District just to let her eat instant noodles.
But the woman is also curious about what the instant noodles that make Hanyu Hideki pay so much attention to what they taste.
And Yosuke Yasui asked his subordinates to prepare instant noodles.
Hideki Hanyu began to say his opinion on the last bowl of instant noodles.
"First of all, the amount of noodles is too small, at least add another 30 percent, and the taste is not good enough, so I change to the second bowl of noodles.
Also, the oil flavor is not enough, the sauce package should also be increased, and the amount of vegetable package should also be increased......"
After saying a lot of opinions carefully and carefully, wait for everyone to finish recording.
Hideki Hanyu pointed to the second bowl of noodles, "This bowl is also retained, and after increasing the spiciness, it can be made into a new product, which is called spicy beef noodles." ”
After finishing speaking, Hideki Hanyu got up and looked at the R&D team and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you very much for your efforts during this time, I am very satisfied with the product, and I will never treat the meritorious people badly. Next, I will ask Yasui-san to give bonuses to everyone involved in the development of the project, and I promise that the amount of the bonus will definitely satisfy everyone. ”
As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse well.
Next, these people are still of great use.
And instant noodles are just the beginning.
His food research institute also needs to continue to expand, so it is important to set a good example from the start.
Speaking of which, he had to complain about the neon company's tradition of slamming the door for technical R&D personnel.
If nothing else, let's talk about the R&D personnel of the Shining Research Institute.
Fujio Masaoka led the team to improve the patented NOR flash memory technology and determine the profitability of cooperation with Intel.
Hideki Hanyu offered to give some bonuses to the R&D personnel.
As a result, Toshiba and Mitsui's board of directors discussed together, and finally negotiated a number that made Hanyu Hideki cry and laugh.
Ordinary researchers of the institute, three hundred dollars each.
Mid-level staff, $500 each.
Then there is Fujio Masaoka, with a reward of one thousand dollars.
Even the representatives sent by Hanyu Investment to the Shining Research Institute felt that this was a reasonable figure.
In the eyes of these people, the institute pays its staff salaries on weekdays, and there is a special bonus at the end of the year.
It is natural for employees to contribute to the institute, so why should they be paid a separate bonus?
Hanyu Hideki didn't know about this at the time, and by the time he knew, the procedures had already been completed.
As a result, when he proposed another bonus when he made a breakthrough in flash memory technology for NAND architecture this year, representatives of Toshiba and Mitsui came up with last year's plan.
was so angry that Hideki Hanyu sprayed back on the spot.
In the end, at his strong suggestion, the prize numbers from the bottom to the top were changed to 400,000 yen, 800,000 yen, and 1,200,000 yen.
As a result, for such a "pitiful" bonus figure, Toshiba's representative also called out how the rules were broken.
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, no wonder Toshiba later pulled into that way.
It is no wonder that the once-glorious semiconductor industry of neon has just been poached by South Korea as soon as it declines.
With this kind of treatment, let him also change jobs.
In this world, no matter where you are, everyone works hard, not only for fame but also for profit.
And if you give enough money, you can actually have a name or not.
For example, once his dividend model in Elf Entertainment was launched, neon game talents basically jumped ship and ran over.
Some game gods who would have jumped left and right in various major factories in history, or started their own businesses, are also staying in Elf Entertainment.
The reason is very simple, the benefits he gives are good enough, dividends, buying a house, health services, and family welfare.
Even if other manufacturers promise to give high treatment, or start an independent business, if you compare it horizontally, you will find that it is not as high as the income of Elf Entertainment.
And backed by such a big platform as Elf Entertainment, and such an enlightened boss as Hideki Hanyu.
Everyone focuses on technology, focuses on game development, and doesn't need to worry about other messy things, and the ghost is willing to think about something that is not there.
In the final stage, he solved another bowl of instant noodles with Hitomi Kuroki.
He also explained other things to Yosuke Yasui.
First of all, there is the procurement of equipment.
Today's domestic conditions are too poor, and there are almost no supporting industries.
If this is put in the future generations, what products he wants to make, from design to production, there is a one-stop service.
But now, whether it is a pastry, sauce package production line, vegetable meat package dryer, tableware packaging production line, almost all have to be imported.
Even the most common plastic bags for instant noodles cannot meet the requirements of Hideki Hanyu in terms of the texture of domestic production.
Fortunately, the production of instant noodles is not high-tech, and the technology is very mature in Neon.
There is no need to buy new ones, and a large number of small factories have closed down in the Yokohama Industrial Zone in Daejeon recently, and it is enough to purchase second-hand ones directly.
Then it is necessary to continue to expand the R&D facilities of the food factory.
Although once the "braised beef noodles" are successful, they can be sold forever.
But how could Hideki Hanyu be willing to sell only one product.
Of course, the "seafood noodles" that imitate the unified "shrimp noodles" must be carried out.
The super king fried product developed based on lemon tea, of course, iced black tea should also be developed.
Although the cost of PET plastic is still high due to the limitations of production technology.
If you are engaged in plastic bottle drinks in China, bottles are more expensive than drinks.
But in the 90s, the country was able to set off a beverage war, proving that this technology should soon have a breakthrough.
So research and development, of course, you have to take precautions and reserve in advance.
He remembers that Tohoku Chemical Co., Ltd. also has this kind of technology.
Now that the acquisition has officially begun, he will be able to sign it when he returns from the UK.
When the time comes, just invest more money to promote R&D.
……
An hour later, Hideki Hanyu left the factory in Ota Ward.
As he drove, he asked Hitomi Kuroki.
"How do you feel about the instant noodles?"
Hitomi Kuroki said very directly, "I don't like it, I prefer the taste of ramen." ”
"Okay, I'll tell Yasui-san to develop a follow-up tonkotsu ramen series in the future."
Hearing this, Hitomi Kuroki asked Hideki Hanyu curiously, "Is Hanyu-kun ready to get involved in the food industry?" ”
Hideki Hanyu said, "yes, otherwise what would I do with instant noodles?" ”
"But now Neon's instant noodle products are very rich, and the market competition should be fierce, so ...... at this time."
Before Hitomi Kuroki could finish his words, Hideki Hanyu interrupted.
"Don't worry about these small business things, Hitomi-chan, since you don't like instant noodles, I'll take you to eat delicious food."
In business, he has always disliked communicating with women.
Even if Hitomi Kuroki is now interested in running a firm.
Being interrupted by Hanyu Hideki like this, Hitomi Kuroki touched his stomach, tossed with his lover at noon, and just ate a few bites of instant noodles, and he was indeed a little hungry at this time.
Thinking of the instant noodles just now, Hitomi Kuroki asked suspiciously, "What Hanyu-kun said is delicious, could it be some kind of instant food?" ”
"Of course not, I'm taking you to visit a friend who has prepared a Kobe beef feast."
Hanyu Hideki said, not forgetting to remind him, "Yukio-san will also go." ”
Although Hitomi Kuroki and Yukio Tanaka are related, their personal relationship is really average.
And the neon people's kinship is already weak.
This kind of distant relatives, if it is not a major matter, generally will not contact several times in their lives, and it is even rarer to move around each other.
However, Hitomi Kuroki and Yukio Tanaka did not contradict each other, so even when he heard that Yukio Tanaka would go, he did not show anything unusual.
It's just a common way to say, "No problem." ”
Instead, he looked at the clothes on his body very seriously, "Since it's an official visit, should I go back and change my clothes?" ”
"No, Hitomi-chan is already beautiful, if you change your clothes and become more beautiful, what will the other female guests do?"
Hanyu Hideki's praise suddenly made Hitomi Kuroki's heart sweet.
Immediately said shyly, "Hanyu-kun is talking nonsense again, I obviously didn't put on makeup properly." ”
"Hehe, Hitomi-chan is naturally beautiful, even if she doesn't wear makeup, she is beautiful."
"Hanyu-kun will lie to me."
The woman said that she was lying, but looking at the expression on her face, she was already happy.
But while talking, the Mercedes-Benz big G quickly arrived at the destination.
Officially adjacent to Ota Ward, it is located outside the gate of Yanai Masaka's house in Shinagawa Ward.
Tonight's itinerary is to visit Yanai Masa.
Park the car and toss the keys to Marco who walked down from the Mercedes behind him.
By the way, he took a bottle of champagne from the other party's hand.
I don't know what to choose for gifts, and foreign wine is the most infallible thing.
Hideki Hanyu rings the doorbell.
It seems to have guessed that it was Hideki Hanyu who arrived, and Yanai was opening the door himself.
The two hugged familiarly, and then introduced Hitomi Kuroki next to him.
Regarding Hanyu Hideki's practice of changing his female companion every time he visits his house, Yanai has no surprise reaction at all.
After greeting him politely, Yanai took the champagne from Hitomi Kuroki.
Then while leading the two of them inside, he said, "Dinner is already being prepared, let's eat indoors today." ”
Hanyu Hideki asked, "Hasn't Yukio-san come yet?" ”
"No, but it should be soon, I just called to tell me that he has gone out with Mrs. Aiko."
"That guy always procrastinates, but I really didn't expect that he would take his wife with him when he came out this time."
Hideki Hanyu's tone was a little surprised.
He thought that for a party like today, after eating and chatting, Yukio Tanaka would definitely arrange a nightlife, who would have thought that he would bring his wife with him.
Yanai said, "Who knows. I've been spending a lot of time in Kansai lately, and I haven't spent time with him in a while, so maybe Tanaka-kun suddenly wants to be a good husband. ”
"Hehe, that situation is not possible even if it is the end of the world."
Hideki Hanyu said categorically.
"It's useless for us to guess here, when he comes and asks, we'll know, let's get down to business first, the provincial Tanaka-kun is here to make trouble."
At this time, the three of them had already walked into the living room of Yanai Masa's house.
Yanai Masa's father, Yanai and others, were missing, and only his wife, Yanai Terudai, received him.
Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, only to learn that Yanai and the others had gone back to their hometown to recuperate.
After the three of them sat down, Hideki Hanyu began to talk to Yanai about the real purpose of the trip.
"What I told Yanai-san before, don't forget Yanai-san."
"In the past, it was just to invest in production plants, but now it is going to enter that market directly, will it be too anxious?"
"Early layout, early harvest, after the year I went to investigate, prepared a series of investment plans, it will definitely be easier to talk together."
"Alright then, I'll arrange for someone to go with Hideki Hanyu."
"Please, Yanai-san."
With a few simple words, the matter is settled.
What Hanyu Hideki wants to say is to let Uniqlo enter the Chinese market layout in advance.
In Neon, Uniqlo is cheap fashion FMCG.
But at this time, if you enter Huaxia, it is definitely a rare overseas brand in the market.
In fact, not only Uniqlo, he is ready to bring the luxury goods under Aiyi International with him.
In this period, the domestic consumption power is not high.
But that doesn't mean there aren't rich people.
Blow out the first, and put up the shelves of high-end brands.
Like he said, early layout, early harvest.
Of course, we must learn from the failure experience of entering the domestic big brands in the early part of history.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"It must be Tanaka-kun here."
Yanai said a word and went out to greet him.
Sure enough, a moment later, Yukio Tanaka and his wife Aiko Tanaka appeared.
However, after this guy saw Hanyu Hideki with Hitomi Kuroki, he immediately ran to Hanyu Hideki and asked quietly.
"Why did you bring her, I plan for you to find a reason to take me away and be happy together at night."
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought to himself that he had guessed correctly.
If you want Yukio Tanaka to be a good husband with peace of mind, it's really impossible to end the world.
