Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 465: The world’s billionaire rankings are released

Above the Pacific sky, the 'Yunshang' flew smoothly.

The time now is March 17th.

Yesterday, the fifth Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition came to a successful conclusion.

The new game "Sonic" announced by Genie Entertainment at the Tokyo Electric Power Show will be officially launched on Neon today.

Immediately, Elf Entertainment’s game fans lined up in front of Elf Show and the stores of its cooperative dealers.

However, Hanyu Hideki could no longer see such a lively scene.

Because just this morning, after the ambulance brought Nakamori Akina's mother, Nakamori Chieko, to Tokyo, the 'Unshang' took them on and set off for America.

In addition to Akina Nakamori, Akina's second sister, Akiko Nakamori, and her second brother, Akina Nakamori, were also traveling with her.

Although thanks to the efforts of Asako Hirohashi and Mijima Iijima, Akina Nakamori was able to accompany her mother to America.

But with Nakamori Akina's current popularity, this companionship is destined not to be too long.

Cloud Entertainment can postpone most of her work schedule, but it is impossible to turn down all work.

After all, Nakamori Akina now represents not only the interests of Cloud Entertainment, but also the interests of many partners.

Therefore, it is estimated that Hideki Hanyu helped settle everything in America, and Akina Nakamori will also return to Neon.

At that time, Akiko Nakamori and Akio Nakamori, who came together, will continue to stay in Houston to take care of Chieko Nakamori.

Among the two, the elder brother Akira Nakamori is already married. He used to work in the family bar. Now that the bar is closed, it is appropriate for him to help.

Considering that the man was careless in doing things, he arranged for Akiko Nakamori to join him.

Although Nakamori Akina's second sister already has a stable boyfriend, she is not married yet, so coming to take care of her mother will at least not affect the family.

The most important thing is that Akiko Nakamori works in a foreign trade company and can speak English well enough for daily communication, which is perfect for America.

At this time, Chieko Nakamori was sleeping in the bedroom of the plane.

Everyone sat in the cabin and ate.

Nakamori Akina was worried that her brothers and sisters would not be used to it, so she sat and ate with them.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he sat alone on the other side.

While eating the fried rice he ordered with a spoon, he looked at a letter in his hand.

The letter was sent from Paris, France.

The sender is Annayi, deputy editor-in-chief of Hachette Graphic Publishing House in France.

It was the same feminist editor who came to Hideki Hanyu to publish a book last time, but Hideki Hanyu wrote a story and sent him away.

Hanyu Hideki originally thought that the matter would be over after he had dealt with it.

He is no longer in Europe, and this Anayi will not come to him again for this matter.

But who would have thought that this person actually wrote him a letter and sent it to Tokyo.

However, in the 1980s, correspondence was still a very normal form of communication.

Not to mention anything else, he gets several cartloads of letters from book fans every year just from the primary school library.

Among them are not only Neon book fans, but also book fans from other overseas countries.

In order to store these letters, he bought an abandoned factory in Ota District as a warehouse.

On weekdays, a large part of the work of Yunshang Culture employees is to help him handle these letters from book fans.

For example, book fan clubs and non-book fan clubs will be handled separately, and some letters will be randomly selected to reply to, or some small gifts will be given to them.

But these are fan letters.

On weekdays, he still has some friends with whom he writes letters.

For example, in the writer's circle, Gomi Taro, who helped him win awards when he debuted, would often send him postcards when traveling.

And if Hideki Hanyu goes overseas, he will also take time to mail local postcards to each other.

There is also Haruki Murakami, who likes to live overseas in recent years. This guy traveled to Italy and Greece last year, and he is still living in Greece and has not come back.

During this period, I wrote two letters to him. In addition to introducing the exotic customs and customs along the way, I also shared some creative ideas.

If Hideki Hanyu has time, he will also write a reply.

These letters are usually received and organized by the assistant office for him.

Before leaving for America this time, Chiba Kaoru sent over the latest letters, including this letter from Anayi.

In the letter, Anayi asked Hanyu Hideki how the creation of the book he had previously conceived was going.

She also expressed some of her opinions on the story, and said that Hanyu Hideki could refer to it and did not need to care about what she thought.

By the way, I also talked about the recent development trends of feminism in Europe.

All in all, the editor-in-chief of Hachette Graphic Publishing House completely communicates with Hanyu Hideki as a like-minded "comrade".

Hideki Hanyu thought for a while and finally decided to reply.

After all, people are "sincere", so he can't act too indifferent.

Instructing the flight attendant to get him paper and pen, Hanyu Hideki prepared to write a reply.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone looking at him.

It is the direction of Akina Nakamori.

Hanyu Hideki looked up and found that it was Nakamori Akina's brother and sister who were looking at him.

Several people had also finished their meals and seemed to be reading newspapers and chatting.

When the two of them saw Hanyu Hideki looking over, they immediately lowered their heads nervously.

When the two looked up again, they found that Hanyu Hideki had withdrawn his gaze and began to write something on the table.

Just at this time, Akina Nakamori said, "You can continue watching. If you are tired, you can rest on the plane. I will go see my mother."

Compared with her brothers and sisters who were nervous after boarding the "Yunshang", Nakamori Akina behaved much more calmly.

After all, she is also a big star, and she must be more knowledgeable than her brothers and sisters.

Although it was her first time to ride on the "Yunshang", which was as luxurious as a palace, she had ridden on the "Elf" before, so her adaptation was quite smooth.

The two remaining brothers and sisters watched their sister leave, said a few words to Hanyu Hideki, and then walked towards the cabin at the back.

Their eyes couldn't help but look at Hanyu Hideki again.

Of course they knew who Hideki Hanyu was.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's popularity in Neon is no less than that of any popular idol.

As for the relationship between my sister and Hideki Hanyu, anyone with a normal IQ can see it.

They didn't know what to say about their sister's choice, and they didn't have the right to care about it.

After all, although their family no longer lies directly on Nakamori Akina to suck blood like before, they still receive care and support from their sister on weekdays.

Whether it's her sister's job or the bar business, she relies on Nakamori Akina's care.

Even in the small apartment building Nakamori Akina built in Kiyose City, everyone except the eldest brother and his family lived in it.

And Hideki Hanyu.

They don't even dare to take care of their own sister, so how dare they take care of this big shot.

Besides, Hideki Hanyu is still his sister’s boss.

The reason why they peeked at Hanyu Hideki was entirely due to various emotions such as surprise, curiosity, doubt... etc.

Such a big shot, who could only be seen in the news in the past, just appeared before his eyes.

And compared to the image in the news, Hideki Hanyu, who was right in front of him at this time, was less illusory and more real.

But it allowed them to see more clearly how outstanding Hanyu Hideki was, with his tall and slender figure, handsome and extraordinary appearance, and gentle temperament.

Reality is real enough.

But he is really not like ordinary people at all.

Such an amazing and talented person, coupled with the identity of a well-known writer, and an unimaginable net worth.

Ordinary men would probably feel ashamed when they see it.

As for women, Akiko Nakamori has the most say at this time.

She said that she did not dare to watch more, because she had watched too much Hideki Hanyu, and she would break up with her boyfriend impulsively when she returned to Neon.

Because Hideki Hanyu was so outstanding, both brother and sister were wondering why such a character would accept his sister.

Anyway, in the eyes of my family, my younger sister Akina, whom I have seen since childhood, is too ordinary.

Even though Akina Nakamori is now a popular star, the queen of Asia.

But the problem is that the status of artists in Neon is really not high.

Compared to Hanyu Hideki, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sky or a place.

For example, this time I helped Chieko Nakamori seek medical treatment.

A big shot like Hideki Hanyu not only personally accompanied him to America for medical treatment, but also used a private jet that looked like a palace. They didn't know how much it would cost.

But what is certain is that even my sister cannot afford it.

In the end, who else but Hideki Hanyu paid the bill.

Thinking of this, the brother and sister knew that there would be no consequences for their sister Akina's following Hanyu Hideki.

But at the same time, I feel very conflicted that Akina Nakamori did not choose the wrong person.

……

Hanyu Hideki, who was concentrating on writing a reply at this time, didn't know what the Nakamori brothers and sisters were thinking.

Of course, he wasn't interested in knowing.

In addition to replying to the letter, he was also thinking about other things.

Since we are going to Texas, we can do something else along the way.

Before coming, contact Michael Katz, who is in Texas inspecting Blockbuster operations.

After all, Blockbuster spent more than $10 million on its expansion in just a few months last year.

After the acceleration of expansion this year, coupled with various acquisitions and investments, the cash burn will only increase.

All these costs are borne by the America branch of Elf Entertainment.

How could Michael Katz not pay attention to it, so he made this trip to Texas.

Now that Hideki Hanyu is here, he can definitely go to Dallas to have a good communication with Michael Katz about the future development of Blockbuster.

After writing the reply, I thought about my arrangements after going to Texas.

Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to the nervous Nakamori siblings and returned to the master bedroom of the cabin to rest.

There are still more than ten hours of flight left, and considering the time difference, we must start adapting in advance.

But when he lay on the bed, turned off the lights, and tried hard to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened.

A petite figure slipped in.

Then, there was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against the bed.

Immediately afterwards, Hanyu Hideki felt a delicate and warm body slip into the quilt and hug him tightly.

It felt like you didn’t have to guess, who else could it be if it wasn’t Akina Nakamori.

"Are Akina tired too?" Hanyu Hideki hugged the girl and asked softly.

But Nakamori Akina didn't answer the question. Instead, she hugged him and said something.

"Want me."

Faced with this kind of problem, if it were in the past, the scumbag would certainly satisfy the girl's request.

But considering Nakamori Akina's current situation, he did not act, but said.

"Mingna has been busy for so long, let's take a good rest."

Who would have thought that Akina Nakamori didn’t want to give up at all.

Instead, he said softly, "Hanyu-kun, please be cruel..."

There is no need to elaborate on the words tiger and wolf.

Looking at the girl's next actions, she not only took the initiative to kiss her passionately, but also licked her from top to bottom.

Faced with such a provocation, the scumbag's reason immediately collapsed.

An air battle was inevitable.

……

After more than ten hours of flight, the 'Yunshang' arrived in Texas.

Landed at the Houston Intercontinental Airport that would be named after a certain American commander ten years later.

Hanyu Hideki's secretary office in America had naturally sent someone to arrange everything, including pick-up matters after the plane landed.

This time he came with Akina Nakamori. Of course, it was impossible for Hideki Hanyu to call Monica Bellucci over.

Although he has never been afraid of these, he has never taken the initiative to bring women together and watch the fun.

Therefore, the person who was sent to Houston was just an ordinary secretary in the secretary's office.

As for "Ball Flower", although he also came to Texas, he was arranged to go to Dallas.

Outside the airport, several people first took Chieko Nakamori to the ambulance of the medical center, and Akiko Nakamori accompanied her.

Others got on other pick-up vehicles.

The secretary prepared four cars. After all, Hanyu Hideki always had a lot of trouble traveling.

In addition to life assistants, bodyguards such as Marco are also indispensable.

The car is too short to fit in.

After arriving in Houston, the next thing became easier.

After all, in a capitalist society like America, as long as you have money, many things will become very simple.

"Boss, according to your instructions, we have sponsored US$200,000 to the medical center and paid US$500,000 in pre-deposited treatment costs. Various examinations will begin tomorrow, and the first expert consultation will be organized in two days."

Outside the ward door, the secretary reported the medical arrangements to Hanyu Hideki.

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu nodded and said, "You did a good job. You will stay here temporarily and be responsible for connecting with the medical center."

"Okay, boss."

"Go wait for me outside, and we'll go back to the hotel together later."

"Yes."

After the secretary left, Hideki Hanyu felt someone hug him from behind.

He then turned around and hugged the person behind him, who was Akina Nakamori.

Looking at the other party's red eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "Everything has been arranged. Why should my Akina be sad?"

"I'm not sad, I just feel that Hanyu-kun is so kind to me."

Akina Nakamori said affectionately.

Akina Nakamori probably understood what the secretary just said.

Hearing that just to arrange for her mother to live here on the first day, Hanyu Hideki paid US$700,000, which is more than 100 million yen at the current exchange rate.

That’s money that many Neon people may not be able to earn in their lifetime.

Among the entire neon entertainment industry, the number of artists who earned 100 million yen last year was less than five of them including her.

But making so much doesn't mean she has so much money.

And this 100 million yen is just the beginning.

Once follow-up treatment begins, the cost will only be higher.

How could Akina Nakamori not be moved by Hanyu Hideki's attitude of doing everything quietly and taking responsibility to the end without hesitation.

This also indirectly proves that her decision to be willing to sacrifice everything for this man was not wrong.

Some people think that talking about money in a relationship will appear tacky.

But when feelings return to reality, everyone will find that whether it is sweet words or romantic life, they must ultimately be supported by material foundation.

Don't say that this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Hanyu Hideki.

But having money and being willing to spend money are definitely two different things.

In the entertainment industry, Akina Nakamori has seen too many women who give everything but get nothing in return.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki touched Nakamori Akina's hair and said, "This is called treating you well. If I treat you better in the future, Akina will really cry."

"As long as it's Hanyu-kun, it's okay to cry." Akina Nakamori said firmly.

"Forget it, I can't bear to make Akina cry. Go and ask your brother to come out. I'll take you to the hotel where you're staying first, and you can rest after everything is arranged."

"Ah."

Akina Nakamori responded, then adjusted her condition slightly, and finally entered the ward and called Akina Nakamori out.

Several people went to the hotel together, and after arranging the room with the help of the secretary, they had a simple lunch together.

Next, Akina Nakamori discussed with her brothers and sisters how to rotate caretakers, not to mention it for now.

However, due to jet lag, Hanyu Hideki was so sleepy that he entered the room to rest early.

I had no choice but to sleep on the plane.

As a result, Nakamori Akina took the initiative to provoke, and Hanyu Hideki not only failed to sleep, but also spent a lot of energy.

In the hotel room, Hanyu Hideki felt the door of the room being opened in his sleep, and then someone got into his arms.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that it was not a dream at all.

Akina Nakamori was sleeping soundly in his arms.

No!

This woman kept him from having a good rest during the day, and he wouldn't let her have a good rest now either.

After the scumbag made his decision, he quietly got into the quilt.

then……

Akina Nakamori was awakened by a strange feeling.

Then he was forcefully suppressed by the scumbag.
-

Time passed and the date came to March 19th.

Hideki Hanyu has already contacted Monica Bellucci.

He left for Dallas this morning to meet with the other party, and then met with Michael Katz at Blockbuster headquarters to discuss.

He will rest one night in Dallas and return to Houston tomorrow, taking Akina Nakamori back to Neon with him.

"Hanyu-kun, be careful on the road."

Outside the hotel, Nakamori Akina asked Hanyu Hideki who was about to leave in the car.

"Don't worry Akina, Marco will have no problem driving. I will be back at noon tomorrow. Then we will go back to Neon together."

When Hanyu Hideki went to Dallas this time, he did not plan to take America's unreliable short-distance flight, but decided to drive there.

After all, it is more than 300 kilometers, and if everything goes well, we can get there in three or four hours.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel." Akina Nakamori said.

"You should go back and rest quickly. Your brother and sister will be replaced in the afternoon."

Hideki Hanyu said one last thing, and then Marco started the car and left.

Akina Nakamori stood at the door of the hotel, watching the car Hanyu Hideki was riding disappearing from sight, unwilling to leave. Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby.

"Akina, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori turned around and found that it was her brother Akina Nakamori.

Returning with my brother was my sister Akiko.

"Why are you back together? Who will take care of mother?"

Akino Nakamori explained, "My mother is in good condition today, so she asked us to come to the hotel to have breakfast together. Besides, there are still nurses in the hospital."

When Nakamori Akina heard this, she also knew that caring would lead to chaos.

After all, Chieko Nakamori was still able to work in the bar before this treatment, and she was not as fragile as she imagined.

After thinking about it, she said to her brother and sister, "Then let's have dinner together."

But at this time, Nakamori Akira carefully looked around, and then asked Nakamori Akina in a low voice, "Akina, where is Mr. Hanyu?"

"He has some business matters to deal with in America and has temporarily gone to other cities. Does my brother have anything to do with him?"

Akina Nakamori was confused.

Although it has been three days since I came to America, my brother and sister have always been nervous when seeing Hideki Hanyu. Why did they suddenly ask about Hideki Hanyu today?

"It's not that I have anything to do with him, it's just..."

Nakamori Akina didn't know what to say for a while. After being vague for a while, he directly handed a magazine in his hand to Nakamori Akina.

Then he said, "It's up to Akina to see for herself."

Akina Nakamori took the magazine and found that it was a magazine with "Forbes" written on the cover.

This seems to be the "Forbes" magazine that disclosed Hanyu Hideki's net worth three years ago.

But this time, the Forbes magazine cover is not about people.

But densely packed, one name after another.

The background of these names is an enlarged word 'Billionair' that represents "billionaire".

Opening the magazine, Akina Nakamori saw rows of names on the cover news page, and numbers marked behind them.

Akina Nakamori’s English is not very good.

After all, I was a poor learner when I was in school. I only started learning English after I joined the office in order to develop overseas business.

But even with her English proficiency, she can understand what Forbes announced.

This is a list of the world's billionaires.

Most importantly, Akina Nakamori sees a lot of neon romanized names on this list.

First place, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

This Nakamori Akina knows, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

Hanyu Hideki and the other party jointly announced the 'Elf Paradise' project a few days ago. She saw the news on TV.

As for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's net worth, there is no specific figure, only a vague range.

That is a rich man with more than 20 billion US dollars.

In the category worth more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, only Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is the only one.

Following the second place, the name is still Romanized, and the neon name should be Yoshiro Moridai.

His net worth is over $10 billion.

Like Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, Morishiro Yoshiro is also the only rich man worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

Looking down, two to ten people are all rich people with a net worth of more than 5 billion US dollars.

The most important thing is that five of them are neon rich people.

Looking down again, the value range reaches more than 3 billion and less than 5 billion.

There were nineteen people in total.

Then, Nakamori Akina saw the name "Hanyu Hideki" on the 27th place.

At this time, Nakamori Akina finally understood why her brother Nakamori Akina gave him this "Forbes" magazine.

Hideki Hanyu appears in Forbes magazine again.

Although she has always known that Hideki Hanyu is rich.

But she never expected that Hanyu Hideki's net worth would rank among the 27th richest person in the world.

Three years ago, Hideki Hanyu was worth US$700 million as announced by Forbes.

But at that time, she only heard about it and did not understand it carefully.

But now when she saw it with her own eyes, the feeling was completely different.

At the back of the list, there is also a detailed introduction to the rich people on the list.

Nakamori Akina didn't look at anyone else, but turned directly to the page about Hanyu Hideki.

The above introduces Hanyu Hideki's career in detail, focusing on the cloud series and elf series, including the newly acquired Tohoku Energy.

Because none of the three companies are listed companies.

The specific acquisition content of Northeast Energy has never been disclosed to the outside world.

Even "Forbes" magazine failed to interview Hanyu Hideki himself this time.

So they stated it outright in the article.

Forbes estimates that Hideki Hanyu is worth between $3 billion and $3.5 billion, but this is definitely not Hanyu’s true worth. Hideki Hanyu’s true worth is definitely more than their internal estimate.

But even their current tentative net worth is a miraculous number for Hanyu Hideki, who is only 25 years old this year.

Hideki Hanyu is also the youngest billionaire on this list.

The editor even joked at the end of the article.

Because Hanyu Hideki is so young, has outstanding appearance, and is a world-renowned writer, he is still unmarried.

"Forbes" magazine unilaterally announced that Hanyu Hideki, who combines talent, wealth, and appearance, was selected as the diamond bachelor most desired by single women around the world to marry.

call--

After reading the article, Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief.

Hanyu Hideki's net worth of more than three billion US dollars shocked her too much.

And the status of one of the richest people in the world.

It was so bright that it seemed to sting her eyes.

For the first time, she felt the unapproachable pressure on Hanyu Hideki.

Even Akina Nakamori, who is a big star, is like this.

It is not difficult to guess the mood of Nakamori Akira and Nakamori Akiko who just saw this report.

At that time, after Akiko Nakamori told her brother the content of the report, what Nakamori Akira felt was no longer shock, but that she was listening to a fairy tale.

The young man who had been spending time with them in the past few days, the young man who was so handsome that he was ashamed of himself, the young man who his sister was willing to follow even if he didn't have any status.

He is actually the twenty-seventh super rich man in the world.

More than three billion US dollars!

Thinking about this number, the Zhongsen brothers and sisters had to admit that having too much money would really make people feel scared.

They didn't even dare to tell their mother Chieko about it.

……

"Forbes" magazine launched the world's richest list for the first time, which caused a huge response that even they did not expect.

This unprecedented list of rich people around the world can be said to stir up waves with one stone.

The three people of the Zhongsen family were not the only ones who were shocked.

This is the first time that ordinary people realize that there are so many rich people in the world.

And their wealth is actually so terrifying.

Although Forbes also published a list of America's 400 richest people in previous years.

But the problem is that even when he was richest, America's richest man only had assets of US$5 billion.

And with US$5 billion, he is not even in the top ten on this list of the world's richest people.

The most surprising thing is that in this rich list, Neon has 25 rich people on the list, and seven of the top ten are occupied.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who ranks first, is worth an astonishing US$23.8 billion according to detailed property analysis.

Dominate the world.

In contrast, Hanyu Hideki, whose net worth is not even a fraction of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, even though he attracted some attention due to his youth, is far less shocked than Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

However, there is an evaluation of Hideki Hanyu by Forbes magazine that readers agree with very much, that is, the young and unmarried Hideki Hanyu is indeed very desirable to many women.

Marrying such a handsome, talented and super-rich man who ranks twenty-seventh in the world is definitely a perfect choice for an ordinary woman.

It is also the fastest way to jump into the top wealthy families.

Of course, in addition to these daydreaming women, many people around the world are also thinking about marrying Hanyu Hideki.

Women care about money and appearance, but what those at the top are looking for is Hideki Hanyu's ability to make a fortune quickly and have a clean background.

By marrying a daughter or a descendant, you can gain a wealthy ally. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?

As for the thoughts of the person being married, in the context of such a marriage of interests, it doesn't matter at all.

You said Hideki Hanyu was a playboy with many lovers.

Doesn’t this prove Hanyu Hideki’s excellence?

He is talented and rich, young and handsome. If you say that no woman likes this kind of man, no one will believe him if you tell him.

But for those young girls who want to be married, marrying Hanyu Hideki is also a good choice.

After all, women are all visual creatures. It is better to have a husband who is so handsome and pleasing to the eye than to marry some crooked man.

The most important thing is that Hanyu Hideki's family is not strong, but his natal family is strong, so he doesn't have to worry about being wronged when he marries.

The result is that because of this ranking list in Forbes magazine, Neon's strength, which used to be limited to Neon's intention to marry Hideki Hanyu, suddenly spread to the world.

Many people began to select candidates for marriage, and then contacted Hanyu Hideki to prepare for holding some temporary activities or important parties.

……

But, all this happened later.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki, who was sitting in the car and rushing to Dallas, didn't know that Forbes magazine had announced the list of the world's billionaires.

However, although he did not know the news, he soon saw the "power" brought by the news.

Arriving in Dallas, after being taken to the hotel where Monica will stay tonight.

Before Hanyu Hideki could ask about his work arrangements, he was pushed back by "Ball Flower".

result……

Of course, the talented scumbag wins.

However, feeling the excitement of "Ball Flower" that was different from the past, Hanyu Hideki asked with some doubts, "What happened? You are not feeling right today."

"Baba" didn't answer, but took out a magazine from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to Hanyu Hideki.

After seeing it was Forbes magazine and the word billionaire on the background of the cover.

Hanyu Hideki probably understood something.

Opening the magazine, he didn't pay attention to whether he was on the list or where he was ranked.

But after seeing Yoshiaki Tsutsumi in the first place, a smile appeared on his face.

In the original history, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's ranking should be behind Morishiro Yoshiro.

Now he is number one, and his worth is much higher than in another time and space.

Obviously, his suggestion was listened to by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, and he probably secretly contacted Forbes magazine.

After reading Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Hideki Hanyu continued reading.

He ranks twenty-seventh and is worth between $3.3 and $3.5 billion.

Hehe smiled.

He finally understood why Monica Bellucci was so excited.

As the saying goes, a man's wallet is a woman's best "aphrodisiac."

For a woman like Monica Bellucci who makes no secret that she is a "fame animal",

It is undoubtedly a very exciting and fulfilling thing to overthrow a tycoon ranked twenty-seventh in the world.

Think again.

Among the women who have a relationship with him, there are probably many who have such thoughts.

In the next period of time, I'm afraid Xiaoshu will have to work hard a lot.

Of course, according to Forbes magazine, his net worth must be higher than estimated.

As a person involved, of course he knew it was true.

If he didn't mind exposing all his wealth, he might have difficulty competing with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi for the richest man, but there would still be no problem in entering the billionaire class with Yoshiro Moridai.

But, he is not the only one who is underestimated or even omitted on this list, so why should he be in the spotlight?

Besides, the youngest billionaire has already gained enough limelight.

Even in the Internet bubble period of later generations, the speed at which he made his fortune was absolutely terrifying.

So, it's fine as it is now, there's no need to be high-profile anymore.

He had expected that "Forbes" magazine would publish the list of the world's richest people, and that he would be on the list.

Therefore, when he saw this list at this time, apart from the feeling of watching the fun, he was not surprised at all.

So after reading it, I put the magazine down casually.

Next to her, Monica Bellucci saw Hanyu Hideki's calm expression and asked in surprise, "BOSS, when you see that you are ranked the twenty-seventh richest person in the world, you don't have any other emotions." There's none?"

"What emotion should I feel, laugh or cry, or give you a dance with excitement?"

Hanyu Hideki said, pointing to himself, "Isn't it a matter of course that I am on the list?"

The strong confidence revealed in Hanyu Hideki's plain tone, with his unparalleled masculine charm, immediately broke the heart of "Baba".

In an instant, Qiu Hua felt aroused, and for the second time, she "reversed" the scumbag.

The ending is naturally the same as the first time.

Hanyu Hideki's gradually awakening talent is no joke.

But he couldn't care about that now, he just said with some dissatisfaction.

"Monica, I hired you to serve my work, not to use me as a tool. Don't forget why I came to Dallas."

"Don't worry, Boss. I won't delay your business. Mr. Michael went to inspect the newly built warehouse of Blockbuster in Texas today. At least he won't be able to come back now."

"What time will he be back?"

Monica Bellucci looked at the time, and then said, "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and the plan is to be back before four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, then I have to eat something before he comes back, otherwise I won't have the energy to talk to him. After all, I wasted a lot of energy trying to deal with you."

Hanyu Hideki said and started to get up and put on clothes.

"The BOSS actually said to deal with me, which is really sad."

"Monica, next time you say something like this, please don't smile."

"That's because I'm so satisfied. Who makes BOSS so powerful?"

"Get some rest my little Italian bitch, or you'll cry at night."

Hanyu Hideki said without looking back as he walked out after getting dressed.

But behind him, there was a faint voice like this.

"Wang Wang..."
-

After finishing his meal, Hanyu Hideki met Ichihara Kokichi and Michael Katz who had returned from inspecting the newly built warehouse at Blockbuster's headquarters at four o'clock.

As for David Cook, the original president of Blockbuster.

After deciding to marginalize him, Hanyu Hideki no longer cared about the other party's attitude.

At this time, the news that Hanyu Hideki was on the world's richest list had gradually spread.

The two sent congratulations, and after seeing Hanyu Hideki's calm face, without any complacency or ecstasy, they both felt that Hanyu Hideki's attitude of not being surprised by honor or disgrace was not something ordinary people could achieve.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care what the two thought of him.

He didn't come all this way by car just to hear flattery.

Therefore, after meeting, Hanyu Hideki was not too polite.

He didn’t talk about the Forbes rich list, but quickly got down to business.

Chatting with Michael Katz about the evolution of Blockbuster.

Most importantly, he had to get Michael Katz to accept the Blockbuster expansion plan he had asked Ichihara to execute.

After all, Michael Katz is responsible for the management of the American division of Elf Entertainment, so he must respect the other party's opinions.

However, what surprised Hanyu Hideki was that instead of raising objections to his plan, Michael Katz was quite supportive.

Michael Katz certainly had no idea how valuable Blockbuster would be in the future.

But he could see that Blockbuster played a vital role in improving the Elf Entertainment sales network.

Therefore, compared to Blockbuster in the previous life, in today's Blockbuster, all stores have an additional area for renting and selling game cartridges.

Not only do they rent game cartridges, they can also buy them for money.

After all, according to Michael Katz, it is better to control this channel in your own hands than to let others do this business.

And when the Blockbuster branch opened, Michael Katz found that Hanyu Hideki's original judgment came true.

Compared with video tapes that only rent but do not buy.

Players prefer to buy game cartridges rather than rent them.

After all, if you rent a video home, you can basically watch it in two hours, and the rental time is only one or two days at most.

But game cartridges are different.

In many games, such as Tetris, Mario Kart, and fighting games, there is no such thing as clearing the level.

Or for games like RPG, the clearance time is often very long, and there are even multiple clearance ending modes that require repeated and long-term play.

Even for level-breaking games, such as Contra and Super Mario Bros., it will not be possible for players with poor skills to complete the level in a short time.

But this kind of game is extremely playable. Even if you spend a lot of time to clear it, you can still play it again in a different way, or invite friends to join you.

Therefore, renting cassettes has become very uneconomical for players.

So, as Blockbuster expands.

Elf Entertainment's sales network has also been further expanded.

Compared with Genie Show, which invested a lot of money, Blockbuster is a little simpler and can only sell cassettes, but cannot sell game consoles and peripheral items, but it has the advantage of low investment and rapid expansion.

Within a few months, it helped Elf Entertainment increase the sales of game cartridges by at least 10%.

Under such circumstances, how could Michael Katz not support Hideki Hanyu's plan.
