Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 156 “Three Gods” Studio

Chapter 156 “Three Gods” Studio
Everyone, including the executive committee members of the Takarazuka Opera Troupe, looked at Hideki Hanyu and Hitomi Kuroki, who was full of surprise and burst into tears.

Their eyes were shocked, puzzled, envious, jealous…

Takarazuka’s chief maiden performed for the first time, did she expose her love affair?

Some people’s first reaction was that Kuroki Hitomi didn’t refuse, is the career gone?

But after thinking about it, her boyfriend is a well-known writer, a wealthy man, and the boss of an entertainment club.

Can the position of Takarazuka’s chief maidservant be so important?

Not far away, Mao Daichi looked at his friend’s face in tears, and couldn’t help but beat his hands happily.

Although she didn’t want Kuroki Hitomi to lose the chance to become the chief maidservant because of her relationship after so many years of hard work.

But what she is more worried about is that Hideki Hanyu has been using various excuses to hide her friends behind her back and deny the relationship.

Now, on the day my friend became the chief, Hideki Hanyu publicly admitted his love affair. Is there anything more perfect than this?
The worries about the feelings of friends have all turned into happiness at this moment.

As for whether friends will be affected by the public relationship, it is not important anymore.

“Except for Kuroki Hitomi, everyone else left first. What should be said and what should not be said, don’t I need to emphasize?”

Finally regaining consciousness, the executive member of the Takarazuka Troupe issued an order, his eyes swept over everyone coldly.

After the actors heard this, they left one by one with different expressions. Mao Daichi did not forget to raise his fist before leaving, cheering for his friend Hitomi Kuroki.

Her actions also made Hitomi Kuroki, who was crying and tearful, burst into laughter.

Hanyu Hideki nodded lightly to Mao Daichi.

“May I know when you two met?”

Although the executive committee of the Takarazuka Troupe wanted to question Hideki Hanyu severely, how dare you hook up with our troupe’s chief maid.

But when the words came to his lips, he changed his words naturally.

Because it is useless to question him, although he is not afraid of Hanyu Hideki, but he also has nothing to do with Hanyu Hideki.

Blame Kuroki Hitomi instead?

Seeing Kuroki Hitomi’s deeply affectionate look, it is estimated that Xuezang’s opponent is also willing.

But the question is, what is the use of snow storage?
Her boyfriend is a new boss in the entertainment industry.

You hide in the snow here, and when the termination fee is paid over there, we will see you right away.

If you don’t want to be the president’s wife, you can go to the entertainment world and make more money than in Takarazuka.

“Being together for a few months.”

His girlfriend is still moving, so of course he has to deal with the executive committee.

Besides, it’s not his style to shrink behind a woman when encountering such a thing.

Most importantly, he doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

His girlfriend wants to stay in Takarazuka, so he will find a way to solve the problem.

If the girlfriend doesn’t want to stay anymore, then he will pay to terminate the contract, at worst, return to the entertainment industry to develop.

“Hey.” The executive committee member sighed.

“I will suppress this matter for the time being, Kuroki Sangni thinks about it carefully, and what to do next.”

Speaking of this, the executive committee member politely said to Hideki Hanyu, “We will not embarrass Kuroki-san, and we also hope that Chairman Hanyu can cooperate with our work in Takarazuka.”

“I will.” Hideki Hanyu felt somewhat wronged.

Although love is free, it is somewhat inappropriate for the chief maid who has been cultivated by others for several years to be picked by him on the day of the premiere.

If this is a girl idol that his office has worked hard to cultivate for several years, but just after he debuted and became popular, a kid jumped out to announce his relationship, he probably wouldn’t be in a good mood.

“Then I’ll take my leave first.” The executive committee member finished speaking and left.

“Go and remove your makeup, I’ll go back to the hotel and wait for you.”

Hideki Hanyu said to Hitomi Kuroki, who was crying in makeup.

Who would have thought that Kuroki Hitomi had just experienced the plot of “Prince Charming Admits Cinderella”, this would be touching, and he would not want to hold his arm.

“No, I want to go back to the hotel with you.”

Hideki Hanyu explained, “I was spotted by reporters when I came here just now, and there may be reporters guarding outside. If you don’t mind, let’s go back together.”

Hitomi Kuroki calmed down a little at Hideki Hanyu’s words.

Although the executive committee didn’t explain it just now, she understood the meaning.

The executive committee can suppress what happened just now, even if there is gossip, as long as Takarazuka and she don’t publicly admit it, it will have nothing to do with it.

She can continue to be the chief maidservant of the monthly group.

But once she chooses to make it public, according to Takarazuka’s tradition, although falling in love will not make her quit the group, she will definitely not be the chief.

Because although Takarazuka is an opera troupe, to put it bluntly, it is to provide supporters with a dream of cultivating the department.

Watch the actors you support grow up from school to become the chief, acting out the stories of their fantasies.

So as long as the relationship is made public, it will destroy the fans’ sense of substitution in the opera performance.

As for Hideki Hanyu’s words, Kuroki Hitomi also understands that it is up to her to decide whether to announce the relationship and whether to leave Takarazuka.

Thinking about the hardships he had endured in Takarazuka School for so many years, and thinking about the two years of hard work after joining the troupe, if Kuroki Hitomi wanted to give up, he couldn’t say it.

Hideki Hanyu saw his girlfriend’s hesitation, smiled and patted his girlfriend’s head, “I know Hitomi-chan still wants to stay on stage, it’s okay.”

Hearing this, Hitomi Kuroki said in a weak tone.

“Would that be unfair to Hideki-kun? Hideki-kun dares to admit it in front of so many people, but I can’t bear the stage.”

“How can feelings be measured by fairness? If Hitomi-chan feels bad, you can…”

Hanyu Hideki moved closer to his girlfriend’s ear and whispered a few words.

Hearing this, Kuroki Hitomi immediately punched Hanyu Hideki a few times in embarrassment, “Why is Hideki-kun always thinking about these bad things?”

“Of course it’s because I like Hitomi-chan.”

“Hmph, I’m ignoring you.”

Kuroki Hitomi said, and trotted away from the stage.

But when he was approaching the side of the stage, he suddenly turned around and said, “Xiu Shu-kun is waiting for me at the hotel.”

……

In a drunken night, Hanyu Hideki was leaning in the hotel room, already in sage mode.

Girlfriend Hitomi Kuroki just climbed up from below, her face was slightly red, as if she had just drunk “wine”.

“When Hitomi-chan came here, did you meet any reporters?”

From the time his girlfriend arrived in the room until now, he only had time to ask questions.

It is conceivable how fierce the battle was after the two met, Hideki Hanyu somewhat regretted that today he shouldn’t have made such a scene that moved his girlfriend.

This woman was deeply moved. After being emotional, her combat power was more than doubled.

Those who refuse to give up, don’t give them time to catch their breath, and squeeze everything out.

“No, did you see Hideki-kun when you came back?” Kuroki Hitomi asked while hugging her boyfriend tightly.

“I saw you, and you followed me all the way back to the hotel. It seems that you have to change places. Be careful when you leave tomorrow.”

“Well, I see.”

“Has Hitomi-chan thought it over?” Hanyu Hideki asked.

Kuroki Hitomi heard what Hanyu Hideki was asking.

She told Hanyu Hideki seriously, “I told the executive committee that I will stay in Takarazuka for the time being, is Hideki-kun disappointed?”

Hideki Hanyu was not surprised. He didn’t go back to the hotel with him before, which proved that Hitomi Kuroki was still reluctant to part with Takarazuka.

After all, I have been struggling for so many years, how could I give up so easily.

But Hideki Hanyu deliberately said, “Of course I’m disappointed.”

“what?”

Kuroki Hitomi immediately sat up a little out of composure, and looked at her boyfriend a little at a loss.

She thought her boyfriend was really disappointed that she hadn’t chosen to go public.

But when he stood up, he saw that Hideki Hanyu was looking at her with a smile, knowing that her boyfriend was deliberately teasing her.

She glared at Hanyu Hideki angrily, “Hideki-kun…”

How could Hanyu Hideki be troubled by such a small scene, he said with a sigh.

“If Hitomi-chan doesn’t leave Takarazuka, she won’t be able to accompany me every day.”

Sure enough, Hei Mutong heard the words, and immediately comforted her softly.

“I also want to stay with Hideki-kun. I will go to Tokyo often when I have time in the future, okay?”

“Go to Tokyo often? I heard Dadi-san said that last time, in order to go to Tokyo to take care of me who was sick, Hitomi-chan used her credit card to buy a plane ticket, but ended up eating instant noodles for a whole month.”

Hideki Hanyu was really worried, if this silly girl often traveled to Tokyo, her salary would not be enough to buy a plane ticket.

“I’ve been promoted to chief now, and my salary is much higher than before.” Kuroki Hitomi was not convinced.

“Okay, I still know Takarazuka’s salary, it’s not bad if it can support your daily consumption.”

As Hanyu Hideki said, he turned sideways and took the wallet from the cabinet next to the bed, took out a card from it and handed it to Hitomi Kuroki.

“This is the supplementary card of my credit card. Hitomi-chan can use it to buy ANA tickets at a discount, and there are free flights every year.”

“I don’t want it.” Hitomi Kuroki turned his head and refused to answer the card.

“If you don’t want it, then I’ll give it to another girl. Saori-chan will have her birthday soon, so it’s a gift for her.”

Hanyu Hideki said deliberately, preparing to take the card back.

Hitomi Kuroki became impatient when he heard that, grabbed Hideki Hanyu’s hand and asked, “Who is Saori-chan?”

“You can tell by the name that she is a very cute girl, and she always listens to me.”

Hideki Hanyu acted like if you are disobedient, I will look for obedient girls.

Hitomi Kuroki was about to say something, when suddenly seeing her boyfriend’s playful expression, he immediately realized that Hideki Hanyu was teasing her.

“Xiu Shu-kun knows how to lie to me.”

“I didn’t lie to you. If you don’t want it, I will really use it to buy gifts for Saori-chan.”

Hideki Hanyu’s expression suddenly became serious again, “Saori-chan won’t be like you, not listening to me.”

No matter how smart a woman is, falling in love is always blind. Hanyu Hideki’s sudden seriousness made Kuroki Hitomi nervous again.

Facing Hideki Hanyu’s routine of joking and then being serious, Hitomi Kuroki seemed to want to prove that she was more obedient than Saori-chan, so he took the card involuntarily, and then asked carefully.

“Who the hell is Saori-chan?”

Seeing Hitomi Kuroki took the card, Hideki Hanyu smiled again.

“Asako-san’s daughter is about to celebrate her fourth birthday. She likes reading picture books drawn by me the most, and listening to me is better than Asako-san.”

“Ah?” Kuroki Hitomi immediately understood that she had been tricked by Hideki Hanyu.

Holding the card, he wanted to return it to Hideki Hanyu.

How could Hanyu Hideki let Kuroki Hitomi fulfill his wish, and hugged him into his arms.

“This is my love for Hitomi-chan, is Hitomi-chan going to reject my love?”

“But……”

Of course, Hitomi Kuroki didn’t want to reject Hideki Hanyu’s love, but he always felt that spending money directly from Hideki Hanyu felt like being taken care of.

“It’s nothing to worry about. Anyway, I’ve already given you the card. I will leave Saori-chan’s birthday gift to Hitomi-chan to choose. It is a headache to choose everyone’s birthday present every year.”

Hideki Hanyu immediately changed the concept secretly, assigning Hitomi Kuroki a task to dilute the other party’s psychological discomfort of using his card.

This thing is the same as giving a gift to the other party, as long as you start, it will be much easier later.

Of course, one last thing to add.

“And besides Hitomi-chan, no one has ever used my secondary card.”

“Really? Didn’t that Song… from before?”

Hearing Hideki Hanyu’s words, Kuroki Hitomi felt extremely happy, but wanted to confirm again.

She wanted to ask Keiko Matsuzaka, but she was afraid that Hideki Hanyu would be unhappy.

“Of course, this is the first time for me to give the secondary card to my beloved.”

When Hideki Hanyu talked about his beloved, he emphasized it very much.

“Hideki-kun, I love you…”

His girlfriend was moved by the lingering words of love, so she leaned forward with dim eyes, and touched Hanyu Hideki with her hand.

“Hey! Just talk when you speak, don’t move.”

Hanyu Hideki was taken aback, saying that he was still returning to blue.

“I want Hideki-kun.” The emotional woman couldn’t control too much, and forced Hanyu Hideki to activate it.

“oops……”

……

Hitomi Kuroki’s room in Takarazuka Actor’s Apartment.

Hitomi Kuroki sat on a chair, watching her friend Mao Daichi hold the black credit card her boyfriend gave her, and carefully looked it up and down.

“The black card is so high-quality.”

Mao Daichi looked at Hitomi Kuroki curiously, “The great writer didn’t say what the quota is?”

“I don’t know. Hideki-kun said that you can get a discount if you buy an ANA ticket, and there are a few free flights every year.”

“Can I fly for free, premium class?”

“probably.”

“It’s so powerful, I’m a little curious about its quota, let’s go to the phone booth and check.”

Saying that, Mao Dachi dragged Hitomi Kuroki to the phone booth outside the apartment.

Hitomi Kuroki originally didn’t want to go, but he was dragged by his friend to the phone booth.

Waiting for the customer in front to finish the call, Mao Dachi immediately entered the phone booth excitedly, and then dialed Dongyang Sogo Bank according to the service number on the credit card.

When the customer service lady over there heard the credit card registration information given by Hideki Hanyu by Hitomi Kuroki, her voice immediately became extraordinarily gentle.

After all, it is the credit card of a major customer with a debt of more than 100 billion, so of course you have to be serious.

“My dear customer, what service do you need from me?”

“I want to check the upper limit of this card.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

After a while, the voice of customer service came again.

“Since your card is only a supplementary card, the amount you can use every month is only 500 million yen.”

“what!”

Hitomi Kuroki couldn’t help exclaiming when he heard 500 million per month.

500 million per month?And only?
And Kuroki Hitomi, who also put his ear close to the receiver, was also a little surprised.

“Dear customer, if you are not satisfied with the credit limit, you can…”

“No, I’m satisfied, sorry to bother you, goodbye.”

Mao Dachi didn’t wait for the customer service to finish speaking, and hung up the phone directly after apologizing.

Mao Daichi looked at the small black card in his hand in disbelief.

What is the concept of 500 million yen per month.

The sum of the two months’ quota is more than her annual salary in Takarazuka.

And as the head of the male role, she is already Takarazuka’s highest-paid actor, and she doesn’t know how much better than ordinary office workers.

Nowadays, ordinary office workers in Nihong have worked hard for a year, and their monthly limit is not as high as this card.

I have worked hard to save money for several years, and it is estimated that I will not be able to save 500 million yen.

She heard from Hitomi Kuroki that Hideki Hanyu gave this card to Hitomi Kuroki to buy air tickets.

I thought a few hundred thousand yen would be a lot.

After all, the Takarazuka Opera Troupe is a big user of credit cards, and many members of the troupe are using credit cards for a superficial life.

She has heard that the card with the highest limit is 100 million yen.

The group member who held the card showed off a lot with that card.

So what is the monthly quota of 500 million yen in front of you?
500 million yen a month!
Wouldn’t it be 6000 million yen in one year?

Why do I feel that when the bank customer service mentioned this number just now, I felt a little embarrassed.

Hitomi Kuroki’s writer boyfriend, are you sure you gave this card for flying?An occasional charter flight is enough.

Looking at his friend Hitomi Kuroki who was also surprised, Maochi asked as if joking.

“Hitomi-chan, can I ask Mr. Hanyu if he needs a lover? I only need half of this amount.”

Hei Mutong, who was still in shock just now, heard this, and glared at his friend angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Hitomi-chan, I used to only know that your boyfriend is rich, but now I know how rich you are.”

After finishing speaking, he returned the card in his hand to Hitomi Kuroki, “Put the card away, as a friend, I am a little bit moved. If someone finds out, I’m afraid someone will strip off and go to the hotel to find Mr. Hanyu tonight.”

“It’s not so exaggerated.” Kuroki Hitomi carefully put away the card and said in disbelief.

“Exaggeration? It’s 6000 million yen a year. If you say this figure, a woman who is willing to be Mr. Hanyu’s lover can line up from Takarazuka City to Kobe Prefecture.”

Daichi Mao said with emotion, “Hitomi-chan, you should have left the group yesterday.”

“What?” Kuroki Hitomi didn’t know what his friend asked and suddenly mentioned this matter.

“Such a man is handsome and rich. If I don’t worry about leaving him alone in Tokyo, there is a real world of flamboyance, and he is also the big boss of the entertainment industry.”

“I trust Hideki-kun.” Kuroki Hitomi said firmly.

“I also believe in Mr. Hanyu, but the problem is that I don’t believe in those women in the entertainment world. Do you know how much 6000 million is? It’s enough for you to be on the rich list. The singer Yazawa Yongkichi with a swimming pool in his house has an annual income That’s all, for so much money, those female artists will do anything.”

“is it?”

Mao Daichi’s words made Kuroki Hitomi’s tone less firm.

“Actually, there’s no need to go to Tokyo at all. Didn’t you notice the jealous eyes of those in the group after Mr. Hanyu disclosed your relationship yesterday?”

“But even if I give up my career in Takarazuka and stay by Hideki-kun’s side, can I guarantee that Hideki-kun will not change his mind?”

Hitomi Kuroki shook his head without waiting for his friend to answer.

“Hideki-kun said that he likes me who pursues my dreams, so I want to be a better version of myself and love Hideki-kun even more. As for our relationship in the end, let time decide.”

Hitomi Kuroki said, his eyes became firm again.

Dadi Zhenyang couldn’t help trembling when he heard the words.

She finally remembered that this friend who had been taken care of by her had always been more ambitious than her in her heart.

They talked more than once about their choices after Takarazuka. She said that she might work in musicals, find someone to marry, and live an ordinary life.

But Kuroki Hitomi is always full of longing for prosperity, yearning for a more eye-catching life.

“Okay, now that Hitomi-chan has decided, let’s go eat. I’m going to eat the most expensive Kobe beef today. Hitomi-chan treats you!”

“no problem.”

Now that he decided to accept, Kuroki Hitomi would not hesitate.

If Hanyu Hideki gave her the best, then she would give everything to Hanyu Hideki.

After finishing an expensive meal of Kobe beef, the contented Mao Dachi looked at Hitomi Kuroki who went back to the apartment with her, and joked.

“I just received such an expensive credit card from Mr. Writer, and I don’t have training this afternoon. Why isn’t Tong-chan going to give Mr. Writer a taste?”

“What are you giving to Mr. Writer to taste, don’t talk nonsense.” Kuroki Hitomi shyly chased and beat up his friend.

“Did I talk nonsense, did Hitomi-chan not know?” Daichi Mao continued to tease.

“Xiu Shu-kun was spotted by reporters while watching a performance yesterday. There are already many reporters guarding the hotel today. He said he wants to change hotels, and he will notify me when he changes.”

Kuroki Hitomi explained.

“It turns out that’s the case. How could Hitomi-chan resist going to Mr. Writer?”

……

Hideki Hanyu was busy changing hotels. At the same time, Osaka TV, the reporter’s interview was about to be broadcast, but was temporarily suppressed.

The heads of several TV station news departments are discussing.

“Why is it suppressed and not broadcast?”

“Someone from Takarazuka broke the news that Hideki Hanyu went to the show yesterday because the new head maid of the Takarazuka Tsukigumi is his girlfriend.”

“Have you confirmed with the Takarazuka Theater Company?”

“Takarazuka didn’t admit it, and I called Tokyo, and Yunshang Culture, who was in charge of Hanyu Hideki’s external liaison, didn’t admit it either.”

“It seems that we plan to suppress the news, what should we do, should we say it directly on the show?”

“This one……”

“There is no definite evidence, but relying on the revelations of a few insiders, I think it is not convincing.”

“Let’s broadcast the interview first. For Hideki Hanyu, it’s not surprising that the person in love is Chief Takarazuka.”

“Unless the chief is married.”

“Yeah, who told us that this writer is a romantic talent?”

“If evidence can be photographed, it will be very good news.”

“Someone has been sent to watch, but the other party hasn’t left the hotel all day.”

“Then keep watching.”

……

The media who were still staying at the original hotel did not know that Hanyu Hideki had already sneaked out with the help of the original hotel and changed to a hotel at the other end of Takarazuka City.

No one here knew that Hitomi Kuroki came to find Hideki Hanyu at night, so he didn’t have to be as careful as before.

After entering the door, Kuroki Hitomi asked Hanyu Hideki, who was busy writing a plan at his desk, “Does Hideki-kun know how much the credit card you gave me is?”

“The supplementary card? I don’t know. It was Yada-san who helped me handle the main card and it was sent together.”

Hideki Hanyu didn’t have many opportunities to use credit cards, and the repayment was handled by Yoshihiro Yada, who never cared about the amount of his credit card.

“It’s 500 million yen.” Kuroki Hitomi whispered.

“500 million, how come this?” Hideki Hanyu frowned.

He thought Hitomi Kuroki was talking about a year’s quota.

He thought to himself that he owed Dongyang Sogo Bank tens of billions, and Dongyang Sogo Bank would provide him with a black card, and the supplementary card must have a limit of tens of millions a year.

“Hideki-kun, it’s 500 million yen a month.” Kuroki Hitomi emphasized.

“Well, I thought it was a year, and that should be enough for Hitomi-chan.”

500 million is quite a lot. In the past, he might have cared, but now he doesn’t care much.

Not to mention the money earned by the club, as far as the author’s royalty income, it has exceeded [-] million yen just after September.

Since his debut as a picture book writer, he has envisioned publishing more than a dozen picture books a year.

However, due to being too busy with other things and taking up too much time, in fact, it has been almost two years, and he has only published [-] picture books in total.

Even so, these sixteen picture books alone brought him an annual royalty income of nearly [-] million yen in Neon alone.

In other words, only relying on the royalties of the picture book in Neon, he can raise two or three more beauties.

Of course, if a picture book writer has this kind of income, he is the only one in the whole Neon. After all, not everyone has as many housewife fans as him.

Otherwise, those seniors in the picture book world would not make a big deal of publicity and apply for a cultural medal for him.

“Don’t worry Hideki-kun, I won’t spend money recklessly.”

Regardless of Hideki Hanyu’s attitude, Hitomi Kuroki still promised seriously.

“Since the card is given to Hitomi-chan, it is Hitomi-chan’s business how to use it.”

Hideki Hanyu really didn’t care much.

Now that he still cares about the publication of new books, he has completely entrusted Yunshang Culture to deal with the reprinting and signing of the previously published picture books.

It’s only tens of millions a year, not hundreds of millions.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu was talking, his hands were still busy, Hitomi Kuroki felt that his boyfriend really didn’t care about the tens of millions of credit card a year.

I stopped mentioning it, but cared about Hideki Hanyu’s work.

“Is Hideki-kun busy?”

“It’s really busy.”

Whether it is the work plan of Spirit Entertainment or the program planning of Vitality Girls, Hideki Hanyu intends to come up with it as soon as possible.

At least after going there, you can start working as soon as possible.

“Okay, then I won’t bother Hideki-kun.” Kuroki Hitomi sat beside him obediently.

She watched Hideki Hanyu busy, her eyelids began to fight unknowingly, and she fell asleep just like that.

Suddenly, Kuroki Hitomi felt that someone was hugging her.

Opening his eyes slowly, he found that Hideki Hanyu, who didn’t know when he was done, was holding her and putting her on the bed.

Hugging her boyfriend back, Kuroki Hitomi said coquettishly, “I want Hideki-kun to sleep with me.”

……

During the days when Hideki Hanyu stayed in Takarazuka City, Hitomi Kuroki found that he was busy after being promoted to chief, and his boyfriend was even busier than her.

Every day, I will lie on the seat, write and draw, and I will be busy.

It wasn’t until the day before returning to Tokyo that Hideki Hanyu, who had finally finished his work, had time to take his girlfriend away from Takarazuka and go to Kobe Prefecture for fun.

Since there were no reporters staying in Kobe County, he and Hitomi Kuroki were finally able to go out for a stroll.

After two days of tenderness like this, his girlfriend returned to Takarazuka, and Hideki Hanyu also returned to Tokyo, and continued to devote himself to work.

On his first day back, he was ridiculed by Eri Kitahara as soon as he arrived at the Yunshang Cultural Headquarters in Shinagawa District.

“President Hanyu, the Kansai media has been calling Tokyo for confirmation. Recently, there have been many tabloid reports that you are dating a maid from Takarazuka. Is this going to be made public?”

Of course Hideki Hanyu knew about these reports, but there were actually more reports in Kansai.

“No, Hitomi-chan will definitely leave the group if it is made public, so let’s do it for now.”

Even Eri Kitahara and Hideki Hanyu don’t want to talk about their love life.

Again, he is a writer, not an idol, and he has no responsibility to confess his relationship to the public.

“How is the acquisition of the HAL Research Institute going?” Hideki Hanyu asked.

When he left before, he handed over the contact with the HAL Research Institute to Aragaki Tetsuya, and handed over the acquisition decision to Kitahara Eri.

“That Masahiro Tanimura was not willing to sell his studio at all at first, but when we raised the price to 3000 million, he became a little moved.”

After Kitahara Eri finished speaking, she asked in a very incomprehensible way.

“Such a small studio, although it has some research and development capabilities, but apart from a few game patents, there is nothing valuable at all. Why did Hanyu-san acquire it?”

“What we lack now is research and development capabilities. Now that we have met the right one, we can just buy it and it’s not expensive anyway.”

3000 million, which is what he spent on his girlfriend for half a year, to buy the future head of Nintendo, it’s almost a fortune, okay?

Even if it doubles again, it is worth it in his opinion.

“It’s a quick decision. It doesn’t matter if you give more money. I have already arranged the work plan for the next stage of Elf Entertainment. I still need Aragaki-san to come back to host. There is no time to waste.”

Hideki Hanyu emphasized.

“I see, can I take a look at Hanyu-san’s plan.” Kitahara Eri asked.

“Yes.” Hideki Hanyu handed the plan he had written to Eri Kitahara.

Eri Kitahara took over the plan and only flipped through a few pages before looking at Hideki Hanyu in shock.

“Hayu-san wants to enter the hardware market!”

No wonder Eri Kitahara was shocked. Compared with game development, the hardware field requires longer R&D time, more R&D funds, and wider sales channels.

At the current scale of Elven Entertainment, game development is still learning and training, so rashly getting involved in the hardware field is definitely a thankless thing.

“Eri Kitahara, look carefully, what I want to do is not a game console.”

Hideki Hanyu didn’t explain, but asked Eri Kitahara to take a closer look.

“たまごオッチ, pet watch? What is this?”

Megumi Kitahara thought about the product that Hideki Hanyu was going to make, but he had no idea what Hideki Hanyu was going to do.

“You can call it Tamagotchi, an electronic pet device. The device will randomly hatch a small electronic pet, and then the owner needs to feed, shovel, bathe, and play games with it. It is to raise a pet on an electronic device.”

“Is there a market for this?” Kitahara Eri was confused by Hanyu Hideki’s novel idea.

I don’t know why I don’t have real pets, but electronic pets.

“Because raising an electronic pet is easier and can be done anytime, anywhere, and feeding failure and death will not be as sad as a real pet…”

Hideki Hanyu explained the benefits of a bunch of electronic pets to Eri Kitahara.

The idea of ​​his Tamagotchi electronic pet comes from the super product that saved Bandai.

In the mid-to-late 90s, Bandai, which was about to go bankrupt, was brought back to life by the electronic pet Tamagotchi.

The simple Yuanzu version of Tamagotchi has sold more than 4000 million units in Neon in two years, and the cumulative sales volume in the world is 8000 million.

The electronic pet craze swept the whole world for a while, creating huge profits for Bandai.

He intends to enter the hardware market, but home consoles from Sega and Nintendo are already on the way.

Fairy Entertainment now has no technology, no channels, and no time to enter the market.

Electronic pets are low-cost, easy to research, and highly sticky users. While making quick profits, they can also help Elf Entertainment quickly open up sales channels.

As long as the follow-up game software can keep up, Hideki Hanyu will have a chance to overtake on the curve.

“But even for this small thing, our current research and development capabilities are limited.”

Eri Kitahara voiced her doubts.

Hanyu Hideki said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ve been prepared.”

After speaking, he took out a strange watch and handed it to Eri Kitahara.

“Casio’s digital watch?”

Eri Kitahara took the watch and saw Casio’s name on it.

However, this electronic watch looks a bit strange. The dial is much larger than ordinary electronic watches, and there is a steering wheel pattern below it.

“This is Casio’s electronic game watch. I have asked Yada-san to investigate. Since this game watch failed to compete with the Nintendo GW handheld, Casio has recently started laying off staff for the R&D staff.”

As soon as Hanyu Hideki’s words came out, how could Kitahara Eri not understand the meaning, “Hanyu-san intends to sign this group of people who have been laid off.”

“It’s not my plan. I’m already doing it. Yada-san has been in contact with those people since he bought this land for me. It should be almost done now.”

How could Hanyu Hideki fight an uncertain battle?

He is not only playing with the ideas of Casio’s R&D personnel.

Sega’s handheld GAG was also defeated by Nintendo, and it was also laying off employees.

Hideki Hanyu took advantage of Hayao Nakayama to focus on North America, but recently he has been digging Sega’s corner.

It’s just that it has a lot to do with it. For the time being, he will only hand it over to Yoshihiro Yada, and he doesn’t plan to say anything until he succeeds.

“Hayu-san asked Aragaki-san to hurry up and finish the acquisition of the HAL research institute, just to take over these people?”

Eri Kitahara seemed to understand something.

“That’s right.” Hanyu Hideki nodded.

In addition to good programming skills, Aragaki Tetsuya also has deep attainments in hardware, so it is most suitable to host the development of Tamagoko.

Of course, Satoru Iwata, the future head of Nintendo, is also a leader who is proficient in both hardware and software.

The completion of the acquisition happened to be the two of them learning and progressing together. In terms of technology and management of Elven Entertainment in the future, he will not need to consider the talents who will lead the overall situation for decades.

In addition to Tuoma Gezi, he also needs a reserve game IP for a rainy day.

The trio of Yuji Horii who had made an appointment to meet in the afternoon was just one of them.

He needs to use HAL’s R&D personnel, as well as the original R&D department of Elven Entertainment.

Sega was unable to do Nintendo later. In addition to its own decision-making mistakes, almost no third party provided games is also a big reason.

He is powerless to stop the Nintendo FC console, but he can still grab the game ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu took out another plan and handed it to Eri Kitahara, “This is my arrangement for Yunshang Culture.”

Eri Kitahara took over the plan, looked through it carefully, and then the surprised expression on his face was even more exaggerated than the hardware involved in Elven Entertainment.

“Hayu-san is so courageous!” Eri Kitahara sighed with emotion.

“The end goal is to exaggerate a bit, but let’s start with the first step.”

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he pointed to the document, “The game promotion magazine can help build the theme culture of Tamagoko, and it will be published in the form of a monthly magazine for the time being.”

Bandai sold Tamagoko in the previous life, and it was possible to create higher sales.

As a result, because it did not create a good and healthy theme culture, it was criticized by the neon public as an electronic drug that poisoned elementary school students, and then had to go overseas.

Later, in the second generation, although a series of peripherals such as comics and animations were launched with electronic pets, it is a pity that the peak of sales has passed.

He launched this magazine to assist in the promotion of Tamagotchi’s electronic pets. In addition to game guides and pet introductions, there will also be Tamagotchi comics prepared by him.

As long as the time is right, the manga part can immediately develop independently.

Many businesses at Yunshang Pictures are booming, and Yunshang Culture is about to start working hard.

“What’s the name of this magazine?” Hirohashi Asako asked.

“How about calling it ‘Spirit Game’?” Hideki Hanyu said.

“Okay, then I will start to recruit people, magazine editors, comic studios, but it will take time.”

Kitahara Megumi thought of the following series of tasks, not only did not find it troublesome, but was full of interest.

She doesn’t understand technology, so she is more interested in the traditional publishing industry than Elf Entertainment.

“Then I’ll leave everything to Asako-san.”

After handing over the new business of Yunshang Culture to Asako Hirohashi, Hideki Hanyu went to Fairy Entertainment to learn about the development of the Saint Seiya arcade.

After staying until the afternoon, Hanyu Hideki waited for the trio of Horii Yuji who had been appointed.

Hideki Hanyu first took them to visit Spirit Entertainment.

Looking at the small but well-equipped Elf Entertainment, as well as the relaxed, happy and positive working atmosphere, Horii Yuji finally decided to join Elf Entertainment after a few days of consideration.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Here, Yuji Horii, Koichi Nakamura, and Yukinobu Chida just joined Spirit Entertainment, and the acquisition of the HAL Research Institute was also successful.

Regardless of the objections of his subordinates, Masahiro Tanimura sold the HAL Research Institute, which was established almost two years ago, as well as a series of games and related patents, to Elf Entertainment for a price of 500 million.

Hideki Hanyu, who has no affection for the HAL Research Institute, disbanded the HAL Research Institute on the day of the acquisition, and merged the entire studio into Spirit Entertainment.

He did not appease the distress of the former HAL Institute staff being abandoned by the former boss, but held a working meeting of the R&D department immediately.

In his opinion, it is more useful than any appeasement to directly let these technicians devote themselves to the development of their favorite games.

In this meeting, he split the original game development department of Elven Entertainment into two.

Some of them are led by Kurohara Ma, and form a studio called Holy, which is also the [sacred studio].

The other part of the people was placed under the newly joined Horii Yuji and the three great gods, and formed a studio called myth, which is [Myth Studio].

Hideki Hanyu, the former member of the HAL Research Institute, appointed Satoru Iwata, the future head of Nintendo, as the person in charge to form the magical studio, also known as [Magic Studio].

At this point, the “Three Gods” studio, which helped Elven Entertainment to conquer the game industry and established a great reputation, was officially established.

Thanks to the slow tour of the sea of ​​books, the reward of Lianyoubaa’s father recommended by Mei Yuyou
