Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1003 is somewhat strange, yet makes some sense.

For Hideki Hanyu, traveling between America and Asia by private jet is as commonplace as taking the subway.

However, in this time and space, it seems that he hasn't taken public transportation for a long time, which indirectly proves that he has been out of his original social class for a long time.

During his long flight of more than ten hours, Hideki Hanyu took a short break and made some creative work.

He can't just win the Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration and then immediately announce his retirement as a writer.

Although he no longer earns money from his works, he plans to release one or two new works every year to maintain his persona as a writer.

Who knows, besides winning the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Best Writer, he might even aspire to win the Nobel Prize in Literature someday.

However, Hideki Hanyu's destination on this trip back to Asia was not Japan, but Hong Kong.

The reason he came to Hong Kong was not only because there were many things he needed to deal with there, but also because he was going to Shanghai at the end of October to attend the completion ceremony of Yunhua Plaza.

This shows that he will still be traveling throughout October.

However, due to the influence of his soul, he actually prefers living in Hong Kong to living in Japan or America.

Even the mainland, due to its development, is not as comfortable as Hong Kong at this time.

After more than ten hours of flight, the Cloud Flight arrived over Hong Kong.

What follows is the unique and nerve-wracking approach that Hideki Hanyu has to go through every time he flies to Hong Kong: the Kai Tak landing.

Kai Tak Airport, located in Kowloon Bay, requires aircraft to cross the densely populated Kowloon via Victoria Harbour when landing due to objective limitations.

When the “Chessboard Mountain” sign is seen, the pilot must make a sharp 47-degree turn at low altitude and speeds approaching 200 miles per hour.

The plane then flew over apartment buildings and busy streets before finally landing smoothly.

So after each sharp turn, Hideki Hanyu could clearly see the dense buildings in Kowloon below and the crowds of people coming and going through the airplane window.

It felt like I was flying right over their heads.

Although it looked dangerous, Hideki Hanyu wasn't worried.

First of all, the crew members he hired were all experienced elites.

Moreover, Hideki Hanyu wasn't asking for a part-time job, but a full-time one.

In this situation, the crew members receive generous compensation, but their work is exceptionally easy, and they don't have to worry about issues like fatigue driving at all.

Of course, the more comfortable the job, the higher the expectations.

Regular psychological assessments, skills tests, and daily management are all essential.

However, all of these are managed by specialists, so Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to worry about them.

His private security team also conducts regular or occasional checks.

So don't be fooled by the fact that Hideki Hanyu's trip was just an ordinary one; the people and work involved behind the scenes are far more complex and expensive than they seem.

However, Hideki Hanyu is not short of money, so naturally he wouldn't skimp on his own safety.

Of course, in addition to being confident in his team, he is also confident in the safety and operation of the international airport.

While landing at Kai Tak Airport may seem dangerous, it is also one of the safest airports in the world.

Because in the decades that Kai Tak Airport has been operating, there has never been a major safety incident.

As the plane landed smoothly, Hideki Hanyu disembarked and left the airport.

Then he saw Zhou Huimin outside the airport, who had disguised herself to pick him up.

The maid next to the other party was holding Hideki Yuzuru's eldest son, Yuzuru Yuki, who could also be called Liu Yuki in Mandarin.

There is an old Chinese saying: "A mother's status rises with her son's."

In Hong Kong, Hideki Hanyu has had several long-term lovers, and if you include his friendly match partners, the number is probably too many to count on two hands.

The friendly match was meaningless to the athletes; even Hideki Hanyu himself probably forgot about it.

If we only consider lovers who maintain long-term relationships, there is actually no difference in status between them.

But after Zhou Huimin gave birth to Hideki Yuzuru's first son, the situation changed completely.

Even though Hideki Hanyu always held the belief that "children and grandchildren have their own blessings" and "after I die, even if the world is flooded,"

However, in this region of the East, influenced by traditional Chinese culture, whether in Japan or China, those in the know feel that their son is different each time.

The birth of Liu Ximu signifies that Hideki Yuzuru's vast business empire has a successor.

As Liu Ximu's mother, Zhou Huimin's status also rose accordingly.

The mother and son were directly admitted to the most core Mingxiu Fund list.

The "living allowance" given to Zhou Huimin by the assistant's office was truly exceptional among women who had given birth.

Even when Vivian Chow expressed her desire to return to work after giving birth, Masao Kobayashi, the president of Yunshang Group's Asia region, personally intervened to persuade her to prioritize taking care of her child.

Even Hideki Hanyu's family in Japan would check on him from time to time during holidays and on ordinary days.

He even secretly visited his grandson in Hong Kong a few times without Hideki Hanyu's knowledge.

The old-fashioned guy even considered bringing Yuuyu Hanyu back to Japan for training.

Fortunately, Sonoko Hanyu eventually persuaded her husband, saying that unless Hideki Hanyu was willing, they should not get involved in such matters.

Furthermore, given Hideki Yuzuru's unrestrained playboy nature, he will likely have sons in the future, so there's no need for them to rush into raising grandchildren.

Sure enough, not long after, Akina Nakamori became pregnant. After returning to Sendai to recuperate, she was diagnosed with a son during a checkup.

Of course, these topics have gone a bit off-topic, but all I want to say is to express one thing.

Vivian Chow, who rose to prominence through her son, is undoubtedly the most prestigious of Hideki Hanyu's women in Hong Kong today.

Even recently, she "accidentally" had her and her son photographed by the media while traveling, which sparked a heated discussion among the media, who reported that Zhou Huimin had given birth and speculated about the child's father.

Zhou Huimin's ulterior motives may have played a part in this matter.

After all, compared to the obedient and easily manipulated Japanese women, the Hong Kong women's ability to "compete for favor and engage in palace intrigue" is far superior.

Take today's airport pickup as an example. Zhou Huimin did a half-cover-up disguise, but as a former popular singer, any experienced entertainment reporter could recognize her at a glance with this level of disguise.

Would Zhou Huimin not know?

Or perhaps, this is the result she wanted.

She had just announced the birth of her child when she was at the airport picking up Hideki Hanyu, the world's richest man.

This is clearly an attempt to guide the media to speculate about the two events together.

When Hideki Yuzuru was being linked arm-in-arm with Zhou Huimin and sensed the paparazzi filming nearby, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

But the scumbag didn't care at all, and casually put his arm around the beauty's slender waist and got into the black Bentley.

Hideki Hanyu knew perfectly well what these women were thinking.

But whether Zhou Huimin's nature was like this or whether she wanted to fight for something for herself and her son after giving birth, he didn't care.

Neither the people around him nor these women really understand him.

His affections for a woman have absolutely nothing to do with whether that woman has given birth to his children.

Hideki Hanyu was never the type to sacrifice his own life and emotions for the sake of his offspring. Whether a woman was favored by him depended on only a few very simple factors.

First and foremost, it's about looks. As long as she's young, beautiful, and has a great figure, he'll like her.

Furthermore, there is the provision of emotional value, whether psychological or physiological. As long as you can make him happy and comfortable, he will like it too.

As for the others, meeting these two conditions is the priority.

So the biggest reason he likes Zhou Huimin now is that this "Jade Girl Leader" has fair skin, a beautiful face, and beautiful legs. She is at the peak of her beauty and is well-behaved and sensible, providing emotional value. She is not boring in the bedroom, and there is also the sense of accomplishment brought by her past life identity.

Without these things, even if the other party gives birth to ten sons for him, the scumbag will still ignore him.

Don't blame Hideki Hanyu, call him selfish or heartless.

It can only be said that life is short. He went through a lifetime with great difficulty, and through painstaking effort, walking on thin ice, and scheming and plotting, he created everything he has now, all for his own enjoyment, not to serve others.

As the car drove along, Hideki Yuzuru would tease his son and then flirt with the beautiful woman, and soon they returned to the mansion on Bai Jianshi Road.

When he got home, Hideki Hanyu had just changed into comfortable loungewear and was enjoying afternoon tea on the second-floor terrace.

His assistant, Akemi Yasukawa, came to report on the latest news that had happened in America since he left.

He had almost finished dealing with America's affairs in New York during his ten-plus days there.

All we can tell him now is the fate of Yoshiyuki Ishizuka.

"Mr. Yuzuru, after we left, the Economic Crimes Division of the American Department of Justice, the IRS, and the Immigration Bureau all launched investigations against Yoshiyuki Ishizuka."

After Yasukawa Akemi finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki asked in confusion, "I can understand the Economic Crimes Department investigating Ishizuka Yoshiyuki. After all, according to Supreme's internal investigation, Ishizuka Yoshiyuki did have problems such as embezzlement, illegal misappropriation of funds, and corruption."

But why would the IRS and Immigration Services contact him?

Akemi Yasukawa replied, "As far as I know, the reason these two departments investigated Yoshiyuki Ishizuka is because his wife reported him."

"I see!"

Hideki Hanyu was not at all surprised by Akemi Yasukawa's answer.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

If the relationship is not broken, this is the case. How much more so for Yoshiyuki Ishizuka's wife, who already deeply resented his infidelity, keeping a mistress, and having an illegitimate child.

Perhaps initially, as Yoshiyuki Ishizuka said, his wife did want to give him a chance to turn back.

But after realizing that Yoshiyuki Ishizuka had no chance of turning back, they were probably already plotting how to deal with him.

Ishizuka Yoshiyuki's downfall at Supreme has given his wife the opportunity to take advantage of his misfortune and kick him while he's down.

Akemi Yasukawa continued, "Mrs. Ishizuka not only reported Yoshiyuki Ishizuka for tax evasion, but also provided the Immigration Bureau with evidence that Yoshiyuki Ishizuka submitted falsified documents when he immigrated to America."

According to the IRS, if the investigation is true, Yoshiyuki Ishizuka could face imprisonment in addition to paying back taxes and being fined.

As for the immigration bureau, if it is found that the information was indeed falsified, it is estimated that they will revoke Yoshiyuki Ishizuka's citizenship and deport him back to Japan.

However, none of this affected Mrs. Ishizuka, because she had already filed for divorce and begun dividing her assets.

"Hehe, Mrs. Ishizuka is really ruthless!"
This is yet another real and cruel case that shows me how dangerous marriage can be.

That piece of paper, besides giving others a legitimate reason to divide everything about you and shirk their due responsibilities, really guarantees nothing.

Hearing her boss's words, Yasukawa Akemi felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but for some reason, she also felt that it made a lot of sense.

Putting that thought aside, Akemi Yasukawa asked again, "Mr. Dante Kane asked me to ask you if there's anything else that needs to be done regarding Yoshiyuki Ishizuka?"

Hideki Hanyu waved his hand, "No need, he can't turn things around now, we don't need to cause any more trouble."

To be honest, if his wealth in this world were converted into cultivation levels in a fantasy or immortal world, he would have slapped Ishizuka Yoshiyuki to death long ago for betraying him.

But this is the real world. While wealth and status can bring many things, they also restrict him in certain ways.

In Japan, he might be able to indirectly use some gray-area methods when dealing with certain people.

In America, however, he must be a "zero-star" good citizen, ensuring that he doesn't give his rivals, who secretly covet him, any leverage to prevent them from attacking him.

This is why he had to use proper methods to deal with Yoshiyuki Ishizuka.

Whether he is the world's richest man or a famous writer, none of that can make him disregard the rules and attack Yoshiyuki Ishizuka.

Because, looking at the whole incident, Ishizuka Yoshiyuki, blinded by ambition and extremely arrogant, even betrayed him using methods within the rules.

On the surface, due to multiple rounds of financing, the stake held by Supreme's angel investors is indeed less than 30%.

In this situation, Yoshiyuki Ishizuka, by winning over all the management and gaining the support of most investors, could indeed oust him, Supreme's primary investor.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the independent listing of (S&S), he canceled the dual-class share structure he had set up to control Supreme.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened in real life.

It's not uncommon for founders to be ousted; for example, Hideki Hanyu once teamed up with Sequoia Capital to oust Leonard Bosack and his wife, the founders, from Cisco.

If Yoshiyuki Ishizuka succeeds in his betrayal this time, then kicking him out is fine.

At least in America, Hideki Hanyu could retaliate through various business means afterward, but he couldn't actually arrange for someone to kill Yoshiyuki Ishizuka.

That would undoubtedly be inviting trouble and would be incredibly foolish.

However, Yoshiyuki Ishizuka did not expect that Hideki Hanyu had too many hidden cards, so much so that he was instantly defeated by Hideki Hanyu as soon as he showed his face.

Of course, it is also possible that Yoshiyuki Ishizuka's ambition and expansion were instigated by certain high-ranking officials or investors.

But whatever that possibility might be, it doesn't matter anymore.

Hideki Hanyu swiftly and decisively punished Yoshiyuki Ishizuka and all the troublemaking executives, bringing Supreme back under his control.

It's all meaningless now to determine who was wrongly accused, who was coerced, or who the real culprit was; after all, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

As for how to resolve the turmoil caused by Supreme losing so many high-ranking executives in such a short period of time, Hideki Hanyu has naturally made arrangements.

With the rapid growth of its sub-brand Supreme·Sport (S&S), Hideki Hanyu directly promoted the management of (S&S) to the management of Supreme, making them responsible for all Supreme operations.

Incidentally, he also handed over the task of listing (S&S) independently to the new management team.

Despite this, Supreme will be focusing its efforts on the (S&S) sub-brand for the foreseeable future.

But Hideki Hanyu could accept such a price.

At this moment, Akemi Yasukawa asked again.

"Mr. Yuzuru, there is one more thing that needs your decision. It concerns Yoshiyuki Ishizuka, which has already attracted media attention. Should we suppress this public opinion?"

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and replied, "No need. Supreme handled this matter perfectly and there's no need to be afraid of media attention."

As a rapidly rising brand that can now stand shoulder to shoulder with well-known companies such as Nike and Adidas, it is only natural that the removal of its CEO by the board of directors would attract media attention.

Just let them report on it openly and honestly.

If they try to suppress public opinion in a clever but misguided way, it will only make them seem guilty.
