Chapter 825 New Consortium
January th.

This is the day after Hanyu Hideki and Nakano Shigemasa returned from Saitama Prefecture.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu was at the scene after a press conference.

Just now, Shigemasa Nakano held a press conference in Tokyo as the president of Tohoku Energy.

At the press conference, Nakano Shigemasa announced that Tohoku Energy will start providing livelihood services in the Kanto region, including electricity, water conservancy, energy, etc.

In addition, Shigemasa Nakano also stated that in order to adapt to the internationalization pace of Tohoku Energy and the strategic development of Neon Japan.

To better manage Northeast Energy’s existing business.

Northeast Energy will undergo all-round modernization, scientificization and group restructuring.

Although the name Tohoku Energy will continue to exist in the future, it will only be the name of a regional subsidiary company in Japan.

The one that started anew after the reorganization was the “Origin Group”.
As a super company whose scale is still calculated in trillions even after the stock market fell, Northeast Energy and the news of the new “Origin Group” came out.

Still, it inevitably caused a stir in Japan’s business community.

Looking back now, we find that Tohoku Chemical Co., Ltd., which was originally bought by Hideki Hanyu and lived in a remote corner, has grown to such a scale in the past few years without anyone noticing.

After changing its name to Northeast Energy, the company, although located in the Northeast region, gave up some military industries that were neither worthwhile nor worth throwing away.

But later, when others turned from real to virtual and continued to make money in the financial market, Northeast Energy, on the contrary, firmly rooted itself in the real industry and developed in a low-key manner.

Now, it not only dominates the industry in the Northeast region, operating its basic base like an iron barrel, but also extends its tentacles to surrounding areas and begins to expand quietly.

Today’s entry into the Kanto region is just a part of Tohoku Energy’s expansion that has attracted everyone’s attention.

The most important thing is that compared with Northeast Energy’s development in Japan, overseas expansion is actually the highlight.

Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the Middle East, South America, and the Chinese market which is still being quietly developed…

After Northeast Energy went public, the huge cash flow obtained from financing was almost entirely spent on overseas investment.

This is also the reason why Shigemasa Nakano said in today’s press conference that the reason why Origin Group was established was to better develop overseas when he was interviewed by reporters.

The new “Origin Group” is obviously unwilling to remain in Japan, but wants to move towards the international market step by step.

Hideki Hanyu did not show up during the entire press conference.

He watched from behind the scenes and also entertained a guest he had made an appointment with at the press conference.

At this time, the press conference ended and Hideki Hanyu also saw the guest off.

“Director Nagano, it was a pleasure meeting you today.”

“President Hanyu is so polite. It is my honor to be invited by you to attend this press conference.”

“Haha, I hope we will have a chance to meet again.”

“I think that’s for sure.”

After saying those last meaningful words, the two said goodbye to each other and left.

Looking at the black Toyota Century driving away, Honda Takeshi, the president of Hanyu Investment, who was summoned by Hanyu Hideki today, asked curiously.

“President, why are you meeting him here?”

Hanyu Hideki said without turning his head, “Of course I will show him my strength.”

Hanyu Hideki explained as he walked towards the parking lot.

“This is an old fox. Without absolute certainty, he will definitely not completely turn to us.”

Honda Yizhi was puzzled, “But according to the current situation of Toyo Sogo Bank, if he doesn’t join us, his family will be buried with Toyo Sogo Bank.”

“Because this is human nature. Even when faced with a life-or-death situation, people still scheme against each other.

What’s more, our future cooperation with him will be based entirely on tacit understanding, and there can be no substantive agreement. It is inevitable that he will have some hesitation in his heart.

Therefore, I must let him see my strength, at least part of it, so that he can make up his mind. “

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Honda Takeshi seemed to understand.

What the two people were talking about at this time, and what Hanyu Hideki had just seen, was the director of Toyo Sogo Bank, the head of one of the founding families, and the father of Nagano Kazuka, Nagano Koji.

After Hideki Hanyu returned from Saitama Prefecture the day before yesterday, he began to contact and get in touch with Koji Nagano through Nagano Waka, and finally made an appointment to meet at today’s press conference.

After listening to Hanyu Hideki’s explanation, Honda Takeshi couldn’t help but ask another question.

“President, we are now developing Cornerstone Bank in Singapore and are involved in the affairs of Sendai Bank in Sendai City. Why are we now interested in Toyo Sogo Bank?”

When Honda Takeshi asked the question, the two had already arrived next to Hanyu Hideki’s Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.

After the bodyguard opened the car door for Hideki Hanyu, Hideki Hanyu walked in first.

Then he said to Honda Takeshi, “We have to catch a plane next. Let me explain it to you in the car.”

“Yes.” Honda Takeshi responded and got in the car.

After Marco started the car, he drove towards Haneda International Airport.

Hideki Hanyu’s voice also slowly sounded in the car.

“The answer to the question you asked me is simple.

Because my career in Neon definitely requires a bank as a hub.

But it is needed, but not now.”

After hearing this, Honda Takeshi’s expression became even more confused.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, “Haha, the reason is not complicated.

My career in Japan has a limitless potential. With the formation of a comprehensive trading company and the development and maturity of various industries, if we can’t wait to set up a bank, what do you think we will look like?”

Honda Yizhi thought of the answer and answered with a trembling and somewhat uncertain voice, “A new consortium?”

Hanyu Hideki laughed and waved his hands, “Haha, it can only be said to be a prototype.”

But as the smile gradually disappeared, Hanyu Hideki’s voice became serious.

“Even if it’s just a prototype, it’s enough to make many people dissatisfied.

Neon is too small and the market is too small. Those old guys will never be willing to share the cake with others.

So now, we still have to act like we are dependent on them.

Neither Sendai Bank nor Toyo Sogo Bank will have any substantial relationship with us in the short term.

But in the future, Sendai Bank, Toyo Sogo Bank, and perhaps other banks, although not of satisfactory scale, will be the foundation and springboard for cornerstone banks to enter Neon.”

Having said that, Hanyu Hideki reached out and patted Honda Takeshi on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

“The future is bright, but the process is tortuous. As the person I trust the most, Mr. Honda, my future head of the consortium’s core bank, please work harder.”

The moment the words fell, even Honda Takeshi, who was usually steady, couldn’t help but feel excited and overwhelmed, and he couldn’t wait to get to work.

It was because the pie that Hideki Hanyu painted for him was so tempting.

Soon, the car arrived at Haneda International Airport.

Before getting off the car, Hideki Hanyu did not forget to give instructions to Honda Takeshi, who had already calmed down.

“Mr. Honda, after I leave Neon, there are a few things you will be responsible for.

First of all, I have revised and improved the acquisition plan for the four general trading companies, and now I must hurry and take action.

As for the cooperation with Ms. Naito, after solving her financial needs, if she has other requests, do not agree blindly, but contact me as soon as possible.

Finally, please pay attention to the progress of the case by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office’s Special Investigation Division and contact them more often. Once the case has a result and the frozen shares are unfrozen, please contact the relevant companies as soon as possible and cooperate with them to receive the shares as a creditor.”

“I’ve remembered it, President.” Honda Yizhi responded solemnly. “Then I’ll leave the affairs in Tokyo to Honda-san.”

“This is what I should do. Have a good trip, President.”

After saying their final goodbyes, Hideki Hanyu and Takeshi Honda walked into the airport with their team.

Not long after, the ‘Clouds’ took off from Haneda International Airport.

Destination, Hong Kong.

……

“I am wandering again this night, please don’t continue your infatuation…”

In the Bentley leaving Kaitke Airport, a burst of Cantonese songs came from the car radio.

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

Isn’t this exactly Wang Jie’s song “Who Understands the Heart of a Wanderer”?

At this time, Masashi Kobayashi, President of Asia Region of Yunshang Entertainment, spoke at the right time in the front passenger seat.

“President, Yunhua Records believes that Wang Jie has done very well in Mandarin music, so they want him to enter the Cantonese music market to expand his audience.

This song, Who Understands the Heart of a Wanderer, is the main Cantonese song we carefully selected and created for him. Since its release in Hong Kong last December, it has been ranked in the top three on major radio stations for four consecutive weeks.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki nodded to indicate that he understood.

The market size of Yunshang Entertainment has grown to such an extent that it is difficult for him to manage every contracted artist and every specific project in detail.

It is not easy to formulate major development directions and management rules to ensure that the company moves forward within a certain range in accordance with his requirements.

Therefore, it is definitely a good thing for Wang Jie to follow the inertia of history and develop as if in another time and space.

Of course, with memories of another time and space in his mind, he is very clear that Wang Jie today is just the beginning of his brilliant career.

His movies and TV series are very successful in Taiwan and even in Southeast Asia, and his music is extremely popular. He is one of the most successful people in the entertainment industry.

Take the song “Who Understands the Heart of a Wanderer”, for example. It was a Cantonese adaptation of “Her Back” and was specially created for the Hong Kong market. It reached its peak as soon as it was released, helping the album “The Characters of the Story” sweep the Hong Kong record market.

However, in another time and space, because Feidie Records had limited strength in Hong Kong, Wang Jin’s entry into Hong Kong was a joint venture between Feidie and Warner.

It was this cooperation that laid the groundwork for Warner’s later acquisition of UFO.

But in this time and space, because of the behind-the-scenes support of Hideki Hanyu, Peng Guohua founded Yunhua Records, and when he switched jobs, he directly poached the talents of Feidie Records.

One of them is producer Li Shouquan, who introduced Wang Jie into the music industry.

Naturally, Wang Jie signed a contract with Yunhua Records.

Yunshang Entertainment has been operating in Hong Kong for many years, and Yunshang Music, relying on its abundant money, has been poaching people crazily for many years, and has long since become the overlord of the Hong Kong music scene.

So when Wang Jie entered the Hong Kong music scene at this time, there was no need for Warner Music to interfere. Yunhua Records directly teamed up with Yunshang Music.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki sighed in his heart with great pride.

Today, Cloud Entertainment (Asia), its subsidiaries, and local companies that are secretly invested and cultivated in various parts of Asia.

He has so many people under his command, both on and off the stage, that he can’t even count them with two hands, even the famous superstars like Hanyu Hideki in his previous life.

What’s more, the most powerful thing about Yunshang Entertainment is the huge platform built by software and hardware forces that are more important than artists.

As the person in charge of this platform, Hideki Hanyu now hears many stars that he was familiar with or even liked in his previous life.

However, due to the change in identity, the initial yearning and impulse can no longer be generated.

In fact, he could clearly feel the distance from these people.

This feeling is not caused by unfamiliarity.

It is a kind of calmness that comes from watching the winds and clouds rise and fall, and the tides flow.

Maybe when he is in control of something, he feels that nothing else matters.

This is what the so-called mentality of a superior should be like.

……

The Bentley drove all the way and finally arrived at the mansion No. 89 where Zhang Li lived in Repulse Bay.

There was a press conference in the morning, and I had to engage in intrigue with the old fox at Toyo Sogo Bank.

In the afternoon, we took a car and plane for more than five hours.

Even though Hideki Hanyu has listened to Masahiro Kobayashi’s report on a lot of work, he has no intention of dealing with it at all.

In the swimming pool on the first floor of the mansion, Hideki Hanyu swam continuously. While expending physical energy, he also relaxed his body and mind in his unique way.

slam-la-

Accompanied by the sound of water, Hideki Hanyu walked out of the swimming pool.

Zhang Jing, who had been waiting by the swimming pool, immediately took the towel from the maid and went forward to wipe Hanyu Hideki’s body.

Hanyu Hideki asked, “Aren’t you filming? Why did you come back suddenly?”

When he came back before, he learned that Zhang Qi was filming outside, and the film was “Swordsman” directed by King Hu and Tsui Hark and starring Sam Hui.

This movie is one of Hideki Hanyu’s favorite martial arts works in his previous life.

It is said that “New Dragon Inn” directed by Tsui Hark later was the pioneering work of the new-style martial arts movies.

But in fact, in Hideki Hanyu’s personal opinion, this version of “Swordsman” is the beginning of the new-style martial arts movies. It also laid the foundation for Tsui Hark to shoot the later “New Dragon Inn” and produced important inspiration.

So after knowing that Zhang Qi was filming this movie, he did not ask him to come back.

In fact, under normal circumstances, in order to stick to his original promise when he founded Asia Cinemas, Hideki Hanyu not only does not participate in the investment of Hong Kong films, but also never interferes with the filming of films.

So don’t underestimate Yunshang Entertainment’s strength in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Yunshang Music is domineering in the music industry, poaching countless people and is the undisputed overlord.

However, Yunshang Entertainment is low-key in the film production industry, has a very low presence, and basically does not participate in film investment.

Unless there are some projects where the artists really want to participate, sometimes they must have a say in the financing.

In this case, Yunshang Entertainment will only participate in the name of the artist or invite other investors.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu has been doing this is not because he is pretending to be noble.

It’s just that investing is too troublesome and the profits are too little.

As the owner of Cloud Entertainment and Asia Cinemas, he is already a superior player in terms of cinemas and distribution. It is convenient for him to take commissions and make money easily, so there is no need for him to go to great lengths to compete with local Hong Kong producers for those small profits.

It is precisely this mentality that has ensured that Yunshang Entertainment and Asia Cinemas have always had a very good reputation in the Hong Kong film industry.

Do things fairly, rarely argue, be objective and professional…

In short, although Yunshang Entertainment is not very prominent in the film production circle, its status in the industry is particularly high.

“I’m just a supporting role, I don’t have many scenes to begin with, and today’s filming is already late.”

Zhang Qi explained as he helped Hanyu Hideki wipe the water off his body.

Hanyu Hideki asked with a smile, “Why, do you want to play the leading role?”

“No, I’m filming right now just to find something to do. Of course, the easier the better.”

As he spoke, Zhang Qi gently poked Hanyu Hideki’s chest muscles and said in a resentful tone, “If you can spend more time with me, I would even quit the entertainment industry like Leslie Cheung.”

“Hey? Leslie Cheung is going to retire?”

Hideki Hanyu grasped the key point of Zhang Jing’s words.
