In Neon, there is no one else who will call Hideki Hanyu like this, except for Kyoko Koizumi.

And the reason why the other party is in Chiba Prefecture is also very simple.

When the first Tojing Electronic Entertainment Exhibition was held, although the leprechaun became a publicity ambassador because of the help of Hanyu Hideki.

But after that, relying on the guidance of Hanyu Hideki, the goblin set up the character of the game girl, and through the endorsement and promotion of Elf Entertainment, the character was consolidated and promoted.

By now, the ambassadors at the first TEPCO show have long had nothing to do with the video game industry.

On the contrary, the goblin who set up the character of a game girl continued to serve as a publicity ambassador at the next four TEPCO exhibitions.

And her own game girl character has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

She is also the spokesperson for the most cooperation between Elf Entertainment in Neon.

In this case, Elf Communication held the first Asian ACG exhibition in Chiba Prefecture, and the goblin successfully won the contract as an image ambassador by virtue of his influence in the game circle.

After Hanyu Hideki approached, the little goblin couldn't wait to hug Hanyu Hideki's arm and said with a happy face.

"Teacher, I feel like you've been out for a long time this time."

Hideki Hanyu said, "It's been a long time to go around the globe by plane. ”

"I see, then let's hurry to the exhibition hall, I'm going to attend the closing ceremony today."

The leprechaun said as he helped Hideki Hanyu open the passenger door, and then said with a grin, "I'll drive the teacher today." ”

Hanyu Hideki found out that the goblin actually drove a new car.

On closer inspection, this seems to be Porsche's most classic 959 model of the mid-to-late eighties.

This is also the first mass-produced sports car of this era with a speed of more than 300 kilometers.

In the eighties and nineties, the Porsche 959, Ferrari F40 and McLaren F1 were called the world's three flagship supercars.

The Porsche 959 in this series is very rare and was not released in America due to safety testing.

Judging from the brand-new level of the car in front of him, it is obvious that the goblin has just bought it.

Judging from the shape of the rear wing, it is a "comfortable version" that is more suitable for road driving.

But even this version costs more than $220,000, which is more expensive than a Rolls-Royce.

After Hanyu Hideki got into the car, he praised the little goblin, "It's a beautiful car." ”

The goblin smirked, "Of course, I've been waiting for this car for a year." ”

But when the little goblin said this, the pretty little face immediately pretended to be pitiful and said, "Although the car is very good, it is also very expensive, more than 30 million yen, and all the money I have earned over the years has been spent." ”

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki said with some amusement, "Don't pretend to be pitiful to me here, it's the picture book I gave you, and I've earned more than 30 million in the past two years." ”

The little goblin continued to pretend to be pitiful, "People have other expenses, the yacht you gave me is about to be delivered, and the berthing fee in Yokohama Port is not cheap." ”

"You little goblin, you just want to cry to me about poverty, okay, okay, I'll reimburse you for the cost of this car."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, the pitiful smile on the little goblin's face immediately disappeared, and it was replaced by a happy expression.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu said funny, "I'm happy now." ”

The goblin nodded vigorously, "Very happy, thank you, teacher." ”

"It's good to be happy, so let's drive carefully."

"Okay!"

Looking at the little goblin's excited appearance, Hanyu Hideki somewhat regretted that he should have agreed to the other party after getting out of the car.

But fortunately, although Kyoko Koizumi is happy, she still drives very safely.

After all, when it comes to driving experience in supercars, the goblin is much more skilled than Hideki Hanyu.

After a while, Hideki Hanyu and his entourage arrived at the exhibition hall where the AGG Asia exhibition was held.

After entering the exhibition, the goblin first said goodbye to him and began his own work.

Although Hideki Hanyu wanted to wander around, looking at the crowded interior of the exhibition hall, he finally dispelled this idea.

It's too difficult not to be recognized, so it's better not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After entering the venue, Hideki Hanyu walked through the staff passage and went directly to the organizer's office.

Why not go to the booth where the elves spread?

Because of the ACG exhibition in Asia, the booth is not based on the enterprise, but on the IP as the main body of the exhibition.

The organizer's office is located in a special location, in the only two-story building of the exhibition hall.

Here, the organizer's staff can overlook the whole venue and follow the on-site movements at any time.

When Hideki Hanyu entered the room, he saw Eri Kitahara in front of the window, arranging work for his subordinates about the closing ceremony.

Hideki Hanyu didn't bother, but walked to the window next to him and condescendingly admired the entire exhibition.

Some of the booths with relatively large scale and sufficient visitor flow can be seen almost at a glance.

And most of these are the IPs of Elf Communication.

For example, "Super Mario Bros.", or "Sonic", which has recently skyrocketed in popularity.

Of course, if you want to talk about "many people", it also belongs to the "Pokémon" booth.

As far as the eye can see, the Pokémon elves played by more than a dozen staff members are surrounded by tourists on the inside and outside of the three floors.

And just when Hanyu Hideki was observing, Eri Kitahara, who was next to him, had already finished his work and came to Hanyu Hideki's side.

"I didn't expect Hanyu-san to be able to rush back from America."

"Since Kitahara-san has notified me, then I'm going to come back and see it anyway."

Hideki Hanyu said with concern, "Did the AGC exhibition go well?" ”

Eri Kitahara replied, "It was quite smooth, the media attention was high, the participation of tourists was also high, and the local officials of Chiba Prefecture also gave a lot of support, so it seemed like a wise choice to decide on Chiba Prefecture in the first place." ”

Hideki Hanyu sighed, "The atmosphere here is really good. ”

Chiba Prefecture, even in another time and place, is famous for its culture, and many exhibitions are held in Chiba Prefecture, and the famous Tokyo Game Show is basically based in Chiba Prefecture.

"It's still too small, and I looked at the construction plan for Kaoru Chiba, and they're building an international exhibition hall with an area of 210,000 square meters, which is expected to be completed in 1989.

I'm also discussing with Editor-in-Chief Takida whether to move the TEPCO exhibition to Chiba Prefecture if this exhibition hall is built. ”

Hideki Hanyu knew that the International Exhibition Center that Eiri Kitahara was talking about was the Chiba Makuhari International Exhibition Center, which was second only to Tokyo Big Sight.

However, the latter will not be completed until the mid-90s, and it will be feasible to transfer the TEPCO exhibition to Chiba Prefecture before then.

However, he naturally won't participate in this kind of trivial matter, and just said to Eri Kitahara, "It's good for you to decide for yourself." ”

"Actually, I'm still very optimistic about Chiba Prefecture, there are airports, trains, convenient transportation, and official support is strong enough......"

Eri Kitahara continued his thoughts.

In the end, Hideki Hanyu also helped to add a little.

"Chiba Prefecture is Asako-san's hometown, and she has made a lot of investments here over the years, and the special camera technology center for cloud screening is located here. Her uncle Zhou Fang Yuxiong has power in both light and dark in Chiba County, and if there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can contact Asako-san. ”

"I see." Eri Kitahara nodded, "Do you want to attend the closing ceremony in the afternoon?" ”

Hanyu Hideki refused, "No, just follow your plan, don't let me disrupt the arrangement." ”

Eri Kitahara explained with a smile, "It's not a disruption of the arrangement, because there are still a lot of tourists who want to see you appear." ”

"No need." Hanyu still refused.

In this life, for the development of elf entertainment, he copied a lot of comics and games.

However, as a "copyist", he is still quite self-aware.

Whether it's a comic or a game, not only does he not participate in any award ceremony, but he basically hides behind the scenes, never standing in front of the stage to ask for credit.

For example, "Boys Over Flowers", although the original script was written by him, comic fans only know that the creator is Ai Yazawa.

Hideki Hanyu also shared all the proceeds with the creators, and he didn't take a penny.

Not only "Boys Over Flowers", but also other works.

Now he doesn't think much of the income directly generated by comics.

It's not just comics, it's also picture books.

As he made more and more money, his works became less and less, and he basically stopped being a copyist for no longer than necessary.

In recent years, the picture books, except for "Home Alone", which created a film project for Cloud Pictures, are basically created by himself.

Although the new book "Brigitte" refers to many elements of later generations, in terms of plot, it is really original.

It was at this time that Eri Kitahara mentioned another matter to him.

"Shueisha's side wants to work with us."

"Shueisha?" Hideki Hanyu was a little surprised.

Although Shueisha, the constellation culture co., LTD., which runs Saint Seiya, is also a shareholder, otherwise Hideki's company and Shueisha do not cooperate much.

Shueisha's manga adaptation game is a cooperation with Nintendo to promote peripheral toy products, and it is a cooperation with Bandai, and film and television production has never looked for cloud systems.

In a way, Shueisha should be a competitor.

The other party is suddenly going to cooperate with the elf department, is it planning to abandon Bandai and Nintendo?

Although it is still difficult to hide the decline of Nintendo's sixteen consoles after it is launched, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Shueisha has no reason to abandon Nintendo at this time.

What's more, there is Bandai, the strength of the other party in the surrounding toy market is not weaker than the elf communication.

Eiri Kitahara saw Hideki Hanyu's doubts and explained aloud, "It's not a full-scale cooperation, it's just a manga." ”

"Comics?" Hanyu Hideki didn't understand it again.

"Shinhwa Studio will launch the second work of Dragon Quest at next year's TEPCO Show, and the content, original words, and other creations of this work have always been completed by Shueisha's manga artist Akira Toriyama, and Shueisha hopes that we can authorize Akira Toriyama to serialize the manga of the same name on the weekly Shonen JUMP."

Eri Kitahara said this with the intention of telling Hideki Hanyu that she didn't really want to license the manga to Shueisha.

After all, authorizing comics seems simple, but the comics of the elf department have always served the production of games, and if they stay in the hands of the elf department, they can decide the direction of the comic story.

But if it is authorized to Akira Toriyama, it will be equivalent to handing over the decision of the manga story to Akira Toriyama, and if Shueisha asks Akira Toriyama to make trouble for Genie Entertainment under the influence of certain forces, it will definitely delay the creation of subsequent games.

But what Eri Kitahara didn't expect was that after hearing her explanation, Hideki Hanyu didn't hesitate to say, "Then authorize Akira Toriyama." ”

After speaking, he looked at Eri Kitahara's puzzled expression and explained, "Yuji Horii and Akira Toriyama, the directors of the Shinhwa Studio, are very good friends, and they have always cooperated tacitly. ”

The explanation is far-fetched, but Hanyu Hideki doesn't plan to say more.

In the original "Dragon Ball", although he took the lead for the development of the club, he actually wanted to cooperate with Akira Toriyama, but the other party was unwilling.

Looking back now, he has some regrets and regrets when he is no longer short of money, after all, when he traveled through his previous life, the cartoonist he liked very much had passed away.

robbed the other party of a super IP, although it is now irretrievable.

But as long as this authorization is achieved, if the sequel to "Dragon Quest" is made in the future, Genie Entertainment needs to give Akira Toriyama a certain share in the way of the original work.

Doing so will at least make him feel a little better inside.

As for the fact that the Shuying Society will not do things under the authority of Elf Entertainment?

It is not Shueisha who can decide this, but on him.

As long as his cloud and elf systems are as strong as they are now, then Shueisha will never dare to be stupid.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Shueisha."

Now that Hideki Hanyu has made a decision, Eri Kitahara won't say more.

After all, whether it is her or Satoshi Iwata, the internal prestige of the elf department is too far from that of Hanyu Hideki.

Don't look at Hideki Hanyu like a shopkeeper, but look at the super IPs that help Elf Entertainment conquer the world, which one is not from Hideki Hanyu.

Elf Entertainment is full of talents, and the three major studios and their subordinate independent development teams are even more gods, and many people actually have the capital to work independently.

But most of these people continue to stay in Elf Entertainment out of recognition of Hanyu Hideki.

After all, such a boss with unlimited creativity, willing to share the dividends of enterprise development, and willing to hide behind the scenes, not competing for the credit of his subordinates, can no longer be described as rare in Neon.

Even some studio people have the idea of jumping out and working alone.

But their men were not willing to follow them away.

In today's fast-paced gaming industry, there is a golden age of game developers jumping to indie every month, and indie game developers are constantly being formed.

Like Elf Entertainment, very few employees take the initiative to leave, and the club where talents only enter and cannot leave is also the only one in the industry.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara chatted for a long time about the first ACG Asia exhibition and the work related to the elf department.

While Satoshi Iwata and Eri Kitahara performed well in their respective positions.

However, out of control of the general trend of the future, Hanyu Hideki still needs to keep abreast of the company's situation at all times, so as not to go in the wrong direction.

In addition to chatting, he also changed into the work clothes of the on-site staff, disguised himself and entered the exhibition for a walk.

During the lunch break of the exhibition, Hideki Hanyu also had a working lunch with the employees, showing an approachable image.

In the afternoon, he wore the uniform of the staff and watched the closing ceremony of the exhibition.

Although in his eyes with the eyes of the times, the effect of this exhibition is mediocre and the creativity is old-fashioned.

However, judging from the enthusiastic response of the audience, everyone is still very satisfied with this year's ACG Asia exhibition.

When everything was over, Hideki Hanyu took the goblin and invited Eri Kitahara to dinner with several heads of elf communication.

After the show, he and the goblin checked into the hotel.

The little goblin has been in drought for a long time, so how he was subdued will not be said for the time being.

In the next few days, the people spread by the elves left one after another, and he accompanied the goblin to play in Chiba Prefecture for another two days.

On the afternoon of August 5, the two returned to Tokyo.

As an idol and the owner of the office, the little goblin naturally has to continue to devote himself to busy work after a rare two-day break.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he also has his own things to deal with.

With the help of the assistant's office, he learned about the recent situation of many subordinate enterprises and made some corresponding adjustments.

Of course, during this period, it is indispensable to accompany a few beauties.

It's just that with the loss of time, although some women's feelings are deep, some women have become passers-by.

……

Time flickered, and it came to August 10th.

Hideki Hanyu's black Mercedes led the way, followed by Bentley, Toyota Century and other vehicles.

After driving into Chiyoda Ward, the convoy finally stopped in front of an elegant old-fashioned garden in Mibancho.

Hideki Hanyu was the first to get out of the car, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the word Ono written on the lantern hanging on the quaint wooden door.

After nearly two months of renovation, Ono Ryori, which used to be Hakone, has finally been transformed into Ono Ryotei in Tokyo, and officially ushered in the first day of opening.

There was no grand ceremony, just a lantern with the name of the store written on it was hung at the door.

After Hideki Hanyu got out of the car, the other side door was also opened, and Yukio Tanaka, the eldest young master, walked down.

In the back two cars, Asako Hirohashi, Shota Yoshioka, Shinsuke Ito, Eri Kitahara, Satoshi Iwata, Yoshihiro Yada, and Michi Iijima stepped down...... et al.

In addition to them, there are also Hanyu Hideki's entourage, such as bodyguards and assistants, etc.

On the first day of the opening, Hideki Hanyu took everyone to experience it.

I believe that with these people, there will be no shortage of business after the opening of Ono Ryotei.

Of course, even if Ryotei has been losing money, Hideki Hanyu doesn't care.

The sound of cars attracts people in the store, and several waitresses in kimonos, led by Chiharu Ono, go out to greet them.

Seeing this, Shota Yoshioka, who had already walked to the door, quipped to Hideki Hanyu, "No wonder Hanyu-san didn't open a restaurant with us in the first place, it turned out that he quietly opened a restaurant here, and it was so elegant." ”

"I didn't open this store to make money, I only received a group of customers every day, purely to help Ono find something to do."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he beckoned to Chiharu Ono.

The gentle beauty in the kimono immediately took small steps and obediently walked to Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu immediately introduced to everyone, "This is Chiharu Ono." ”

"Good evening, everybody."

Chiharu Ono bowed politely to everyone.

Seeing this, Asako Hirohashi stepped forward and said to Chiharu Ono with a smile, "Ono-san doesn't have to be like this, we are all friends of Hanyu-san." ”

"Okay, let's stop standing at the door and talking, let's go in and talk."

Hideki Hanyu said to everyone.

Chiharu Ono and the waitresses also welcomed everyone into the courtyard.

Eri Kitahara, who was walking at the end, looked at the beauty like Yamato Nadeshiko, and quietly poked Hideki Hanyu with his elbow, jokingly.

"Hanyu-san, where did you deceive such a beauty?"

Hanyu Hideki said unconvinced, "Liar? Kitahara-san also looks down on me too much, and I, Hanyu Hideki, never lie to women. ”

Eri Kitahara deliberately made a sudden appearance, "I said it wrong, Hanyu-san is really not cheating, but just a little amorous." ”

Next to him, Yukio Tanaka, who heard the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, looked at Chiharu Ono, who was as gentle as water, and couldn't help but say a little sourly.

"Kitahara-san, what you said is too polite, what is so affectionate? He's a scumbag! ”

"Xingxiong-san, it's okay for others to say this about me, what qualifications do you have to say this about me."

"Of course I'm qualified, I'm at least married."

"Hehe, I'm still messing around outside when I'm married, are you embarrassed to say I'm a scumbag?"

……

Just as the two of them were arguing all the way, everyone had already walked into the pavilion.

In fact, according to the design, the people brought by Hanyu Hideki today have exceeded the reception limit of the pavilion.

Chiharu Ono had to add a few tables on the spot near the courtyard.

And Hanyu Hideki and a few friends sat at the new table.

As soon as a few people sat down, a light rain fell outside.

The drizzly courtyard and cobbled paths lead into the bamboo forest.

The courtyard is secluded and verdant, with a few koi swimming in the pond and weaving between the aquatic plants.

On the rockery by the pond, there is a trickle of water falling slowly, and it is guided by a bamboo canal to land on the small waterwheel, pushing the waterwheel to rotate slowly.

Such a scene made the famous superintendent Shinsuke Ito can't help but sigh.

"Such a good yard, Hanyu-san is willing to use it to open the pavilion."

Hideki Hanyu said nonchalantly, "Since it's a good thing, wouldn't it be better for more people to see it." ”

Next to her, Asako Hirohashi seemed to think of something, "Is Hanyu-san leaving Tokyo again?" ”

"Yes, I bought a football club in England, the new season is about to start, and I'm going to watch the first league game."

As he spoke, Hideki Hanyu asked everyone.

"Which of you would be interested in going along?"
