Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1007 I Help My Brother-in-Law Find Investment Opportunities

New Territories, Lo Wu Port.

Although Hideki Hanyu, out of consideration for keeping a low profile, did not drive a supercar or a menacing Lamborghini Griffin.

However, the latest Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen still made him the object of attention for the crowd at the entrance and exit after he parked.

It seems we need to get a few Land Rovers ready for him in Hong Kong. If he wants to keep a low profile when he goes out, he can just drive a Land Rover.

After all, if the class is any lower, Hideki Hanyu can't accept it. He can't really drive a Mazda, can he? What if there's a traffic jam?
However, Hideki Hanyu, who was already used to such gazes, didn't care what others thought of him.

In any case, the gaze and comments of unimportant people will not have any effect on him.

Furthermore, he now travels with two security teams as standard, one to keep watch around him and the other to provide close protection.

In addition, Marco and his assistants provided close protection, ensuring both safety and protection from unwanted harassment.

Hideki Hanyu arrived at the border at 9:00 AM. It was supposed to be cleared at 9:30 AM, but he didn't see Zhou Wenqiong and her group appear at the exit of the border until almost 11:00 AM.

Upon seeing Hideki Hanyu, the other person immediately rushed over to apologize, "Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry, there were just too many people in the line to clear customs, which is why you had to wait so long."

"It's okay, I didn't have any work scheduled today, I specifically set aside time to pick you up."

Hideki Hanyu gently comforted her.

Although they had only been apart for a month, Hideki Yuzuru felt that Zhou Wenqiong seemed to have gained weight again.

This sister-in-law and her sister Liu Xiaoli are completely different in terms of body type; one is healthy and slender, while the other is plump and full-figured.

However, the latter is not fat, but rather plump with a slightly fleshy appearance.

The most accurate description is the ideal slightly chubby type.

When held in your arms, it feels soft and yielding, with a quality that defies description. The exquisite sensation is left to the imagination.

After comforting Zhou Wenqiong, Hideki Yuzuru turned his gaze to the group that had followed closely behind.

At first glance, I recognized Ning Jing, whom I had seen before at the Asian Games in the capital.

A month has passed, and this future big actor hasn't changed much.

But it seems she changed into a pretty dress specifically for her trip to Hong Kong.

However, the design of this skirt looked strangely familiar to Hideki Hanyu.

It seems...it appears...it's Givenchy's latest collection from the current season. After he took a liking to me in America, he sent several of these collections to the women he maintained relationships with.

Sure enough, when Hideki Yuzuru thought of this, he heard Zhou Wenqiong explain it to him.

"Brother-in-law, when I brought Xiaoning to Hong Kong this time, I noticed she didn't have any suitable clothes, so I picked out some of the clothes you gave me before that Xiaoning could wear and gave them to her."

Anyway, you send me a pair of clothes every season, it's a waste if I can't wear them all.

"It's alright. Since I've given it to you, you can give it to whomever you want."

Even if we convert these clothes to the current Chinese currency, using the official exchange rate, each one would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

But Hideki Hanyu, who was used to extravagance and waste, wouldn't take it seriously.

Take his custom-made shirts, for example. He spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, but less than half of them are actually wearable.

No sooner had Hideki Hanyu finished speaking than Zhou Wenqiong quietly pointed to the crowd and said in a low voice.

"Besides Xiao Ning, I also gave a few things to Xiao Yang, the female singer I told my brother-in-law in the capital about wanting to sign in Guangzhou."

Hideki Yuzuru didn't even remember that his sister-in-law had signed a female singer in Guangzhou, and he didn't even recall the name Zhou Wenqiong had mentioned.

If Chiba Kaoru hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered at all.

Don't say that Qionghua Entertainment was just a small company that he casually invested in and let his sister-in-law Zhou Wenqiong run around as she pleased.

Nowadays, even when Hideki Hanyu signs new artists through direct agency like Yunshang Entertainment, he completely ignores them.

Now that the cloud platform has been fully established and has become an integral part of the global entertainment and media ecosystem, it is no longer important whether or not we can sign artists who were famous in our previous lives.

Signing in certainly adds to the good fortune.

Even if they can't sign a contract, with the capabilities of the Yunshang Group, they can still make signed stars famous on their own.

Of course, we can't be so absolute. Perhaps if he signs with Erika Sawajiri in the future, he might be interested in trying out the additional services that cost 500,000 yen per session.

While his mind was wandering, Hideki Yuzuru's gaze followed Zhou Wenqiong's words and fell on the girl in the crowd.

It was a girl also wearing the latest style long dress, but unlike Ning Jing's slightly flamboyant red dress, this girl's dress was pure white, elegant and pure.

The girl wore a woven hat decorated with lace trim, and the brim was so wide that her face was completely obscured from a distance.

Hideki Hanyu initially glanced at it, but after not seeing it clearly, he didn't pay it any mind.

But as the girl and the others got closer, and her appearance under the brim of her hat was exposed to Hideki Hanyu's eyes, a look of surprise flashed across Hideki Hanyu's eyes.

He then asked Zhou Wenqiong, who was standing next to him, "Xiaoqiong, what's the name of the singer you told me you wanted to sign last time?"

Zhou Wenqiong replied somewhat strangely, "Xiao Yang? Her name is Yang Gangli, she's from Yuzhang, born in 1971, and just turned nineteen this year. Didn't I tell you, brother-in-law, when we were in the capital?"

Listen to Zhou Wenqiong's words, and then look at the girl who has walked closer.

Her face was like a silver plate, full and round, with delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were brimming with autumn water and captivating color.

At first glance, her youthful and sweet temperament immediately comes to mind.

How could Hideki Hanyu not recognize such a strikingly beautiful woman at this moment?

Isn't she that famous female singer from the 1990s?
Upon closer reflection, this girl, born in Yuzhang, lost her father before she was born and grew up relying on her mother and sister.

Beneath her seemingly sweet appearance lies an independent personality that entered society at a young age.

And the other party did indeed use their original name before signing a contract and debuting.

It wasn't until after the official signing that he changed his name to 'Yang Yuying'.

While Hideki Yuzuru was recalling information about the female singer, Zhou Wenqiong had already instructed her entourage to greet Hideki Yuzuru.

Even before departing from China, Zhou Wenqiong had already given a brief introduction to everyone.

But at this moment, when everyone actually stood in front of Hideki Hanyu and greeted him, their faces still couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

After all, the Asian Games in the capital ended less than half a month ago, the follow-up reports are still ongoing, and the various publicity campaigns from the early stages are still fresh in our minds.

Hideki Hanyu, a celebrity who was interviewed by CCTV and featured in numerous reports, becoming a "longtime friend of the Chinese people," is someone that anyone who follows the media will likely remember.

Especially not long ago, when Hideki Hanyu received the "Hans Christian Andersen Award" at the United Nations, CCTV not only broadcast the news but also gave him an exclusive interview, which helped him gain more exposure.

Considering Hideki Hanyu's wealth, status, identity, and honors, he is undoubtedly one of the people at the very top of the world's pyramid.

Moreover, I thought Hideki Hanyu was outstanding in appearance when I saw him on TV programs before.

Upon closer inspection, his strikingly handsome appearance made him seem like someone from a completely different world.

With his status and good looks, anyone who meets Hideki Hanyu for the first time feels an overwhelming sense of shame and self-deprecation, making them hesitant and timid when greeting him.

Even though Ms. Yang has been adored since childhood and is now sought after by multiple record companies, she still felt a huge sense of disparity when she stood in front of Hideki Yuzuru.

It was the feeling of being ruthlessly crushed by another kind of excellence, a feeling that I had recognized for many years.

In contrast, Hideki Hanyu, having witnessed far more outrageous scenes in Japan, was completely accustomed to these people's attitudes.

After recognizing Miss Yang's true identity, he didn't pretend to be approachable. He simply nodded indifferently and greeted Zhou Wenqiong.

"There are a lot of people here, let's talk about it on the bus."

Xiaoqiong, you ride in my car; the rest of you take the minibus in the back.

After Hideki Yuzuru finished speaking, he opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class next to Zhou Wenqiong. However, Zhou Wenqiong did not get in the car immediately, but instead pulled on Hideki Yuzuru and pleaded, "Brother-in-law, let Xiaoning and Xiaoyang ride with me in the same car."

Hideki Yuzuru glanced at Ning Jing and Miss Yang.

Ning Jing, having spent two days with Yuzuru Hideki in the capital before, was relatively normal in his presence.

On the other hand, when Miss Yang saw Hideki Yuzuru looking over, she immediately became flustered and avoided his gaze.

After looking away, Hideki Yuzuru said to Wenqiong Zhou, "Sure, the schedule for today is all set. You can bring whoever you want."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenqiong immediately asked curiously, "What kind of schedule has your brother-in-law arranged?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "Let's have lunch first, and then I'll take you on a tour of the headquarters."

If you're interested afterward, we can also take you to visit the film set and see how Hong Kong's big stars make movies.

I have dinner plans with some friends tonight, and I'll introduce you to them then.

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's arrangements, even Miss Yang, who was somewhat nervous in front of him, couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation in her eyes.

However, Zhou Wenqiong then asked, "Who did your brother-in-law meet up with tonight?"

"You'll find out tonight, it'll be a surprise."

After keeping everyone in suspense, Hideki Hanyu opened the car door and got in.

Seeing that Hideki Yuzuru didn't say anything, Zhou Wenqiong could only lead Ning Jing and Miss Yang into the car.

Next, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped off towards Hong Kong Island.

The lunch that Hideki Hanyu arranged for everyone was not a Hong Kong specialty.

After all, the group came from Guangzhou and then passed through Shenzhen before entering Hong Kong, so there was really no need for them to continue eating Cantonese food there.

The restaurant he arranged for today is Vestigia, Hong Kong's first restaurant, which recently opened in Central.

After Benedetta decided to introduce French cuisine to Vestigia, Vestigia was no longer just an Italian restaurant, but a comprehensive Western restaurant that combined Italian and French cuisines and incorporated other Western culinary influences.

The reason for doing this is naturally due to expansion considerations.

After all, only by being comprehensive can we quickly adapt to the catering needs of different regions.

Of course, Vestigia's management is also considering making special modifications based on local dietary habits and opening a flagship restaurant with its own cuisine to reflect tradition.

In conclusion, Vestigia has now moved beyond the restaurant model and become a comprehensive catering brand enterprise.

During the car ride, Ning Jing and Ms. Yang were actually a little nervous because Hideki Yuzuru was driving.

As Zhou Wenqiong watched the Hong Kong street scenes recede outside the car window, she kept introducing and discussing them with the two of them, and Hideki Yuzuru would occasionally join in with a few words.

The two girls unconsciously relaxed.

Even after passing through the underwater tunnel and arriving at Hong Kong Island, the two dared to ask Hideki Hanyu questions.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, the initial awkwardness between them was gone.

It has to be said that the "gentle and considerate" persona of a "scumbag" is quite effective in getting closer to a girl.

Upon entering the restaurant, Hideki Yuzuru naturally sat at a table with Zhou Wenqiong, Ning Jing, and Miss Yang. His assistant took care of the arrangements for the others, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

As for the subsequent ordering and eating, there's not much to say about the process.

However, over lunch, the group chatted and laughed, and their relationship grew even closer.

After lunch, everyone headed straight to the headquarters of Cloud Entertainment in the Hopewell Centre, as scheduled.

However, at first, he did not go to the side of the office building, but instead went to Hideki Hanyu's private floor on the 57th floor.

The fact that one person occupied an entire floor of an office building, with its luxurious interior design encompassing office, living, and entertainment, naturally shocked the three women who were brought in.

Zhou Wenqiong looked around and said to Yu Sheng Hideki in surprise, "Brother-in-law, your office in Hong Kong is too exaggerated."

"If you like, you can do it this way in the country too."

While speaking, Hideki Yuzuru casually asked the three women what they wanted to drink.

Just as he was instructing his assistant to prepare drinks, Zhou Wenqiong refused, saying, "I'd better not. Even if I wanted to, I don't have that much money."

"With me here, you don't have to worry about money. Just do a good job on the design, and let me know how much it will cost."

Many of the companies that Hideki Hanyu invested in in Japan have begun to generate profits, and even though he doesn't intend to convert them into foreign currency and withdraw them, he still has a lot of money that he can't spend.

Forget about decorating an office building for your sister-in-law, you could even just buy an entire building and give it to her as a gift.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenqiong shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's too high-profile to do this in China. My company is just starting out, so we should keep a low profile."

As she spoke, Zhou Wenqiong suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Brother-in-law, if you have money in China that you can't spend, how about I help you find an investment opportunity?"

Upon hearing Zhou Wenqiong's words, Yu Sheng Hideki became interested. A smile that made the three women dazzle appeared on his handsome face as he asked, "Then I'd like to hear how you plan to help me invest, Xiaoqiong?"

His question also attracted the attention of Ning Jing and Miss Yang, who were standing nearby, causing them to look at Zhou Wenqiong.

Zhou Wenqiong continued with that mysterious expression, "Brother-in-law, you invested in that 'Liren Advertising Company,' right?"

"Beauty Ads?"

When Hideki Yuzuru heard the name, he searched his mind for a moment before finally coming up with a name.

Lizhi.

The woman took his money and started an advertising company in China, which apparently had this name.

However, Hideki Yuzuru did not give a direct answer to his sister-in-law's question.

He simply said, "The start-up capital for this company was indeed borrowed from me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenqiong immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

How could Zhou Wenqiong not know about Hideki Hanyu's way of doing things?

The beautiful boss of Liren Advertising, Lizhi, is 100% related to Hideki Yuzuru.

Hideki Hanyu gave the money, but insisted on calling it a loan.

Moreover, that advertising company holds advertising contracts with several overseas brands, all of which are related to Hideki Hanyu.

However, Zhou Wenqiong herself was also unclear about the matter with Hideki Yuzuru, so she had no right to criticize Hideki Yuzuru for this, and simply abandoned the topic and changed the subject.

"Liren Advertising has collaborated with Qionghua Entertainment many times in advertising production, and even Xiao Ning has filmed their advertisements."

Before I came to Hong Kong this time, Ms. Li, the owner of Liren Advertising, personally contacted me to ask if I was interested in investing in real estate.

"Investing in real estate?"

Hideki Hanyu was immediately filled with questions.

Lizhi founded an advertising company in China, and with the money and resources he provided, it developed smoothly. Why is she suddenly thinking of investing in real estate?
With doubts in his mind, Hideki Yuzuru then asked Wenqiong Zhou, "She didn't say exactly how to invest?"

Zhou Wenqiong shook her head, "No, because I didn't agree to her request."

The beauty advertising business is booming, and they have plenty of spare cash.

"My film investments have always resulted in more losses than gains. The little liquid capital I have is earmarked for Xiao Yang's album production and promotion; I have no money to invest in real estate."

At this point, Zhou Wenqiong seemed to remember something.

"However, from the information that Boss Li told me, I roughly understood that the place she was going to invest in should be related to Hainan."
