Faced with Hideki Hanyu's casual answer.

Catherine Zeta-Jones' first reaction was, of course, that Hideki Hanyu was joking.

But on second thought, Hideki Hanyu doesn't look like an ordinary writer.

That's right, can an ordinary writer get a CBE medal this year?

In those days, the Order of the British Empire had not yet been as proliferating as it had been in later generations.

In the early years, the British royal family awarded the Beatles medals, which also caused a lot of controversy.

But as time goes by, any cat and dog can be mixed together, and no one cares.

It can only be said that at this stage, Hideki Hanyu, a foreigner, can get CBE, but he can't be an ordinary person.

At least not a mere writer.

Catherine Zeta-Jones would say whatever came to mind, and even asked directly, "You're not a simple writer, are you?" ”

"What does it mean to be not a mere writer? I'm a picture book writer, and my works are all for children, and it's very simple. ”

When Hideki Hanyu spoke, he looked like a baby.

Catherine Zeta-Jones said helplessly, "I'm not talking about this, do you have any other identity?" ”

"Huh? You guessed it, but I have a lot of identities, which Catherine wants to know? ”

"Of course, I want to know everything." Catherine Zeta-Jones said with an interested expression.

Hideki Hanyu raised his watch and looked at it.

Then he said, "It's not too early, why don't we talk in another place and have a drink by the way?" ”

"In the West End?" Catherine Zeta-Jones asked.

"Go to the Dorchester Hotel where I stayed, the in-house pub that serves some of the best wine in the UK."

Hanyu Hideki is a poor dagger, and his thoughts about girls are clearly revealed.

Although Catherine Zeta-Jones is only seventeen years old, she has entered the stage drama circle since she was a child, and as a beauty, she does not lack social experience, and she is not without suitors in the past.

So she immediately saw what Hanyu Hideki was thinking, and the man was beating her up.

But then again, who of the men who asked her out before didn't think so.

She was able to handle it before, and she believes it is the same now.

The girl smiled and asked, "Is it just chatting?" ”

"Just chatting, I promise." Hideki Hanyu agreed.

——

A few hours later.

The Dorchester Hotel, which is located in the penthouse suite of Hideki Hanyu.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hideki Hanyu met candidly, and the war had just subsided.

At this time, the passion disappeared, the girl regained her senses, and questioned the scumbag coquettishly.

"Didn't you say you were just chatting?"

"You're so beautiful, I can't help it."

Hideki Hanyu's face was full of sincerity.

At first, the two did drink at the in-house bar of the Dorchester Hotel.

However, as Hideki Hanyu revealed his identity little by little, the girl's eyes became more and more wrong when she looked at him.

In the end, he had to prove that what he said was true.

Hideki Hanyu didn't know what was going on, and in the end it was proved in the bedroom.

Ay......

blames him for being too soft-hearted and always doesn't know how to refuse girls.

Catherine Zeta-Jones then asked, "Then you said you want to buy Manchester United is also true?" ”

"It's still in the planning, but if I do buy Manchester United, I'll take you to Manchester United to see it, and then you can see wherever you want."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Speaking of this, Hanyu Hideki lifted the quilt and took a look, after the hard battle just now, he could be sure that the size of the necklace was real, and it would not be adulterated with water.

Even if he is at the peak of his dribbling level, it is difficult to master with one hand.

I can only sigh that the development of British girls is too good.

If you put it in Asia, it would still be a bean sprout at the age of seventeen.

However, he had discovered something during the battle just now, and he had to confirm it at this time.

He asked tentatively in a whisper, "That...... I just saw you out of ...... It can't be your first time. ”

As soon as the scumbag said this, Catherine Zeta, Joneston, stared at Hideki Hanyu with wide eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to ......"

Before the scumbag finished speaking, the girl's angry voice sounded.

"You bastard!"

"I didn't mean that, I meant to say I'm happy."

Obviously, Hideki Hanyu's explanation didn't work.

The girl lifted the quilt and got out of bed to get dressed.

Despite stumbling and obviously feeling unwell, he insisted on getting dressed and walking out of the room.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu reluctantly got up.

Ma Dan, looking at the survey in later generations, it is clear that the average age of British girls on the first night is 16.6 years old.

The girl in front of him hooked up casually, and he never thought that he would win the lottery directly.

But when you think about the time of that survey, it seems to be 2023.

Well, it looks like he said the wrong thing.

Look out the window, it's dark.

At this time, of course, he couldn't really let the other party leave alone.

Following the girl who walked a little unnaturally, the two came to the door of the hotel one after the other.

Seeing that there were no taxis, Hideki Hanyu immediately instructed the hotel to arrange a vehicle.

After a while, a Bentley stopped in front of the two of them.

Hideki Hanyu pulled the car door open and made a gesture of please, "Get in the car, I'll take you home." ”

"Humph!"

The girl snorted, but got into the car in a huff.

Seeing this, the corners of Hanyu's mouth curled slightly.

Half an hour later, Hideki Hanyu sent the girl to her place of residence.

Already working as a professional dancer in the West End, Catherine Zeta-Jones has moved out of her home and is living alone in London.

After the driver helped the girl open the car door, the girl continued to get out of the car angrily.

Hideki Hanyu followed and took the girl's hand.

Catherine Zeta-Jones struggled to break free, but was unable to do so.

Hanyu Hideki didn't wait for the other party to break free again, and explained directly, "Believe it or not, I really said those words before because I was happy, and this is my contact information." ”

Hideki Hanyu handed out a business card, but the girl didn't take it.

"You don't want my contact details, but at least give me your contact details, otherwise how can I invite you to Manchester to watch?"

"Hmph, if you want my contact information, find it yourself."

As Catherine Zeta-Jones spoke, she reached out and quickly grabbed Hideki Hanyu's business card in her hand, then quickly opened the door and walked into the residence.

"Hehe, what a tsundere."

Hideki Hanyu muttered to himself, got back into the car and left.

Of course, he could knock on the door and stalk again, and I'm sure Catherine Zeta-Jones would open the door too.

But the problem is that chasing after a woman's ass is not his style.

Inside the room, Catherine Zeta-Jones stood by the window, watching Bentley drive away, and suddenly stomped her foot in anger.

"Bastard, I don't even know how to knock on the door again."

——

November 9th.

Today, the ballroom at Buckingham Palace is particularly lively.

Because it's the British Royal Family Investiture Day in November.

As the only foreign employee to be awarded this time, Hideki Hanyu has received a lot of attention.

There were not only British media at the scene, but also neon media from afar.

When Hideki Hanyu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a new crisp suit, appeared, the flashing lights in the media area immediately became one.

At this time, the British media has almost ripped off Hideki Hanyu's identity information.

Well-known authors, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, super-rich and so on......

Hanyu Hideki waved generously around.

A BBC reporter stepped forward to interview, "Mr. Hanyu, do you have anything to say about this award?" ”

Seeing that it was a BBC reporter, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly turned sideways, letting today's good sunshine hit his front.

While making your facial features more three-dimensional, it also makes the light more abundant.

Although he is already very handsome today, the BBC has too many demons in his memory.

In case it is filtered during the broadcast, it can save a little image.

Posing, Hideki Hanyu began to answer.

As for the answer, of course, it is to pick up the good ones.

No matter how much he doesn't care about this medal in his heart, it is an indisputable fact that his picture books sell best in Britain in all of Europe.

In addition, Genie Entertainment's products are also quite popular in the UK.

In particular, FIFA World of Soccer 1986, produced by Genie Entertainment America, has sold the most cartridges in the UK.

"The first time my work was recognized in the world was the Kate Greenway Award in the UK, so I think the UK has made me who I am, and I am ...... to receive the CBE medal this time."

Hanyu Hideki has a lot of good words in his mouth, and every sentence scratches the cool point of the British.

It's exactly as Hideki Hanyu said.

Because of the Kate Greenway Award, Hideki Hanyu is recognized as a British descendant in the world literary circle to a certain extent.

This is the same as those European film awards.

will deliberately bring out their own lineage filmmakers.

Coupled with the relationship between Hideki Hanyu's creative style and type of creation, the British generally have a favorable impression of Hideki Hanyu.

In an interview with the BBC, Hideki Hanyu was interviewed by several other media outlets, including Kyodo News Agency.

Of course, its own cloud satellite TV specially sent an interview group this time.

Not only will you have an interview at the door, but you will also have an exclusive interview at the hotel after the award is over.

After all, the matter of the award was transmitted back to Neon, and with Hanyu Hideki's national degree in Neon, it will definitely occupy a hot spot for a while.

Satellite TV on the cloud thought to myself, my boss's hot spot, don't use it in vain.

After the interview.

Led by the staff, Hideki Hanyu walked slowly towards the banquet hall.

Next, the award ceremony was carried out exactly as the Buckingham Palace staff member told him yesterday.

Although Hideki Hanyu was not familiar with etiquette or anything, at least he didn't make jokes. All in all, everything went well.

Of course, he also saw that the queen was still full of black hair at this time.

and the prince who has a receding hairline, but is in the prime of life.

By the way, he also saw the famous princess.

Although the princess doesn't look very impressive, Hanyu Hideki also admires the other party's philanthropic efforts.

It doesn't matter if it's a show or not, but the deeds don't care about it.

It's better to put on a show than to do nothing.

The most important thing is that after the death of this princess, the later princesses are completely inferior to the next.

At the royal reception after the award, Hideki Hanyu said on the spot that he was willing to donate 300,000 pounds to the princess's charitable organization.

As soon as he offered to donate to the princess's charitable organization, the prince came over with a keen sense of smell.

He said that he was also engaged in philanthropy and needed the help of a wealthy man like Hideki Hanyu.

And also vaguely said that he has three funds under his umbrella.

That means that all three funds are short of money.

For the crown prince, who has been a prince for sixty-four years, Hanyu Hideki can only say that this posture of not facing is quite the legacy of the British royal family.

Your wife's charity fund, how much money can be used to do charity.

But your charity fund, the devil knows how you will spend the money.

It's okay to give money, but not for nothing.

Hanyu said he was willing to donate £300,000 to a charitable foundation owned by the prince.

Next, when the prince hinted at two more funds.

Hanyu said vaguely that he was interested in investing in English professional football.

Who thought he would say this, but the prince asked with a happy face, "Mr. Hanyu is really interested in investing in English professional football?" ”

Uh-

What's going on?

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that in his previous life, he watched the news, and those owners who wanted to buy Premier League teams were all difficult.

Not only must we find a way to convince the team's shareholders, but we must also find a way to communicate with the officials, and we will work hard to make a high price.

But now, he clearly saw in the prince's eyes a feeling of encountering a wronged leader.

"Hehe, I do have that in mind."

When the prince heard this, he couldn't wait to say, "I don't know what team Mr. Hanyu likes?" ”

The prince's earnest tone inexplicably gave Hanyu Hideki a feeling that if there were no policy restrictions, it was estimated that the prince would be able to package and sell him a bunch of teams.

Actually, what Hanyu Hideki didn't know was.

Jordon told him a little bit about the current state of professional football in England and the situation at Manchester United.

He himself has seen some information about this period on the Internet in later generations.

But that's just the surface.

The current League One is not the Premier League of the future.

First of all, in terms of income, the two are very different.

As a result, after the European ban, the League One teams have had a harder time than they thought.

The fiscal problems are also more serious than expected.

The team's facilities need to be upgraded, and the transfer market is not competitive, so you have to pay more.

All of this requires strong financial support.

But what the team lacks most now is funds.

If the ball is really profitable, why should those bosses do everything possible to sell the ball.

But the problem is that the boss who wants to sell is a smart person.

Possible buyers are not stupid either.

As everyone can tell, the financial problems of League One teams will only get worse as the European ban continues.

At this time, who will pay a high price to buy a hot potato that cannot make ends meet, and take the initiative to step into the mud.

Many team owners are inquiring and looking for an investor to help them get out of trouble, and the prince naturally accepts the commission.

"That...... I'm actually a Manchester United fan. ”

In the face of the prince's eager gaze, Hideki Hanyu can only show his identity as a fan of Manchester United for ten years.

"Manchester United'......"

The prince muttered to himself, his face embarrassed.

If it were other small clubs, he would easily act as a middleman.

But Manchester United, a team with a relatively large influence, he must be cautious.

After thinking about it for a while, the prince looked at Hideki Hanyu and asked.

"Whether Mr. Hanyu is planning to run Manchester United for a long time or just holding the investment for a short period of time, please tell me honestly, it's important."

"Your Highness, as I said, I am a fan of Manchester United, of course I decided to invest in Manchester United because of love, and if His Highness has concerns about this, I can sign an agreement at the time of the acquisition, guaranteeing that I will not sell my shares in Manchester United for the next 30 years."

Hideki Hanyu said with a serious face.

The prince continued, "What about operations?" What are your plans for buying Manchester United? I can introduce you to the president of Manchester United, but I also have to give an account to the fans who love Manchester United. ”

'I know Manchester United are in dire need of money to upgrade the stadium right now, so I can guarantee to invest a lot of £10 million in addition to the acquisition fee to help Manchester United upgrade the stadium and the facilities.

"Ten million pounds."

The prince was still a little surprised by Hideki Hanyu's generous promise.

Although this period, influenced by the Plaza Accord, was the low point of the pound against the dollar, which was about 1 to 1.08.

But in 1986, even if it was 10 million dollars, it was a huge amount of money.

But how did the prince know that Hideki Hanyu's words were not finished.

"If I'm not mistaken, Manchester United's current Cliff training base has been in use since the thirties, and I don't think there's much point in repairing and upgrading it anymore.

If the takeover of Manchester United is successful, I am willing to invest a further five million pounds to help Manchester United build a new, modern training base. ”

Just kidding, with him as the boss, he will definitely not give Ronaldo a chance to complain about the outdated facilities of the training base.

Isn't it just a training base, build one for improvisation first, and then tear it down and rebuild it when the facilities are backward.

No way, being rich is so capricious.

Hanyu Hideki said here, spreading his hands.

"As for the transfer investment, I can meet all the needs of the manager, even if he wants to buy Maradona from Napoli."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, the prince wanted to wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Hurriedly persuaded Hideki Hanyu.

"Maradona is a very good player, but he is not suitable for League One."

Not to mention the well-known problems of Britain and Argentina.

The fact that England's professional teams are limited to European competition alone is destined to be impossible to attract too good players.

But what the prince can be sure of is that Hideki Hanyu is clearly "sincere" about Manchester United.

Also, Hideki Hanyu is very rich.

After confirming this, the prince had a bottom in his heart, and said in a solemn tone, "I can help you introduce the chairman of Manchester United, but Mr. Hanyu remember today's promise." ”

"Of course I won't forget."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and then said.

"I remember that the prince seemed to have a fund for the poor, and in order to solve the problem of poverty in the world, I decided to donate 500,000 pounds to this fund."

From the previous 300,000, it was increased to 500,000.

The prince seemed to understand something, and did not mention his last fund.

Everyone is a smart person, and there are some things that don't need to be said directly.

After saying goodbye to the prince, Hideki Hanyu did not stay at the drinking party for long.

Straight back to the Dorchester Hotel.

Here, there is also an interview with satellite TV on the cloud waiting for him.

The reason why the arrangement was so tight before was because he planned to go to France as soon as he was busy with the award.

But now, in order to wait for news from the prince, he must stay a few more days.

Fortunately, I haven't made an appointment with the French Children's Book Bookstore Alliance yet, so I can say hello and postpone it for a few days.

As for meeting Christopher Tolkien, Fred Webb still hasn't been in touch.

"Mr. Hanyu......"

"Mr. Hanyu......"

After entering a reception room at the Dorchester Hotel, the staff of the cloud satellite TV who had been waiting for a long time bowed and said hello.

Hideki Hanyu did not hold a position on cloud satellite TV, and everyone has no position to call him, and even the chairman of the board of directors is held by Asako Hirohashi.

Therefore, it is not possible to call the position directly.

Hideki Hanyu looked at the crowd and said, "Let's go to my suite for an interview." ”

Although he was not in a hurry to go to France, he still had to hurry up and prepare Christopher Tolkien's meeting gift.

In this way, in Hideki Hanyu's suite, he was interviewed while completing the works on his easel.

After the interview, Hideki Hanyu took off the CBE medal hanging on his chest and put it in a box.

After thinking about it, I made a call to Neon's side.

Takeshi Honda, who asked Hanyu to invest, organized a few people to come to the UK.

He does not intend to make this acquisition of Manchester United in the name of Hope Angel Investment.

Instead, they plan to set up a special holding company in the Isle of Man in the name of Hanyu Investment to invest in Manchester United.

Compared with overseas funds, placing the holding company in the Isle of Man has advantages in terms of taxation and policy.

After doing this, Hideki Hanyu continued to immerse himself in creation.

And the British investiture ceremony came to an end, and the hot discussion in the news media did not last long, and began to pay attention to other things.

But when the news came back to Neon, it was lively for a while.

It's just that Hideki Hanyu is far away in the UK and doesn't know anything about Asia.

In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

After all, the CBE medal, which is still rare now, will be directly rotten on the street in the future, but any actor who can make a name for himself in Hollywood can get one.

And he is more concerned with tangible benefits than with that little bit of fame.

Three days after the award ceremony.

November 12th.

At the Dorchester Hotel, Hideki Hanyu met with Hanyu Investment employees, organized by Takeshi Honda and who had just arrived in the UK.

Under his arrangement, several people began to register companies in the Isle of Man.

After completing the registration, they will also be stationed at the London Construction Company, ready to help Hanyu with the next investment.

And immediately after, there was good news from the city of Cambridge.

After five days of communication, the two founders agreed to sell 75 percent of the company's shares for £3.5 million.

Dante Kane also wanted the founder of Aikang Computer to guarantee that as long as Aikang Computer continued to invest in the research and development of ARM-based processors, he hoped that Angel Investment would not interfere in the operation of Aikang Computer.

"Boss, do I need to continue back to the East Coast after this side is dealt with?"

Dante Kane finally asked on the phone.

Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment and said, "No, just leave it to someone else over there, I need you to go to Silicon Valley." ”

"What to do in Silicon Valley?" Dante Kane wondered.

"Going to contact Mr. Don Valentine at Sequoia Capital about a tech company I invested in in San Francisco called Cisco, I would like to ......"

Hideki Hanyu gave Dante Kane an an idea of what to do next.

Hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on the corner of Hanyu's mouth.

After the Aikang computer is in hand, as long as there is no problem, ARM, which will dominate the field of mobile chip design in the future, will also be in hand.

Not to mention the technical help of ARM.

Just talk about money.

Later, Masayoshi Son's SoftBank acquired ARM, and its market value once exceeded $60 billion after listing.

However, if you want to reach the scale of later generations, there is still a lack of the CEO who helped ARM rise in the cracks, Robin Saxby.

Don't worry for the time being, he has already heard the news of this person.

Before Mao Sui volunteered to become CEO of ARM, Robin Saxby worked for a European semiconductor company that supplied accessories for Akon computers.

In a few years, the European semiconductor company will also go out of business.

When the time comes, it's too late to recruit people.

While Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the development of ARM, the phone rang again.

When I picked it up, it was the prince.

"Okay...... Thank you Your Highness for your help, I will be sure to arrive on time in the evening, goodbye. ”

After talking to the prince on the phone, Hideki Hanyu hung up.

He didn't expect that things would be saved up for a day.

The prince told him that there was a high ball tonight in which Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards would be in attendance, and that he could help introduce him.

But there is a prerequisite for attending the ball, and that is that you must bring a dance partner.

Come to think of it, that Miss Catherine should have almost cultivated.

And if you can work as a professional dancer at the opera house in the West End, you shouldn't have any problem dancing at the ball.

Look at the time, it's still early before the dance begins.

He immediately dialed Catherine Zeta-Jones' contact number.

For him, there is really no difficulty in finding the contact information of the other party.

The phone was connected, and before Catherine Zeta-Jones could ask why she hadn't been in touch for three days.

Hideki Hanyu spoke first.

"Beautiful Miss Catherine, do you want to be the Cinderella of the fairy tale?"

Thank you for the tip.

Mu You's cultivation is good, and he can't do enough to soar 10,000 words, and today it hurts a little bit, continue to slow down, and today is only six thousand six.

Depressed, I don't even know why this chapter was sealed.

(End of chapter)
