Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 989 The Future of Yunhua Real Estate

September 20th.

In preparation for the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, which will begin in two days, the entire capital city has begun its final preparations.

The city has taken on a brand-new look, and volunteers from all walks of life can be seen on the streets serving tourists watching the Asian Games.

Starting a week ago and continuing until the end of the Asian Games, all construction activities in the capital region have been suspended.

This also includes the Dong'an 'Yunhuali' commercial street project, which has already been officially launched.

Hideki Hanyu took advantage of this rare opportunity to conduct an on-site inspection of the 'Yunhuali' project.

After all, it was the first "cultural and creative" commercial real estate project in the capital, so he naturally had to pay more attention to it.

If this project is done well, it will set a precedent in China. It will be much easier to carry out similar projects in other places and work in conjunction with Yunhua Plaza.

In fact, Hideki Hanyu even declined a filming invitation from CCTV in the morning in order to come and inspect the Yunhuali project.

CCTV was able to further promote him during the Asian Games, and today they even arranged a special filming session for him featuring the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace.

Faced with the attitude of the people from the front desk who wanted him to cooperate quickly, Hideki Hanyu refused without giving them any face.

He agreed to attend the opening ceremony to witness history, not to become history himself and be a laughingstock for others.

If an in-depth interview were arranged, Hideki Hanyu wouldn't mind cooperating.

He simply couldn't bring himself to act as if it were his first time visiting a place he had already been to, and to appear incredibly surprised in front of the camera.

Hideki Hanyu didn't know who came up with this terrible idea, but whoever it was, after refusing it, he directly called the head of the front desk to express his dissatisfaction and protest without any politeness.

As the owner of the Yunshang Group, who has been cooperating with the Central Radio and Television Station for many years and has provided countless assistance, and as an overseas VIP who is highly valued by the upper management, Hideki Yuzuru's opinion naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge.

Then, naturally, someone got into trouble.

It is said that the person who came up with the idea for this shoot was a junior manager with mediocre professional skills who was parachuted in.

Unsurprisingly, both the newly appointed program director and the person who helped him get in ended up in terrible circumstances.

At noon, the head of the station immediately informed Hideki Yuzuru about the matter.

Upon learning that Hideki Hanyu was inspecting the 'Unhwa-ri' project, he inquired whether it was possible to report on the project.

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "It's fine to report on the project, but it's best if there's no news about me. I don't want to cause any trouble, since the successful progress of this project involves many sensitive issues."

The head of the station quickly replied, "Of course I understand."

At this point, the CCTV representative followed up by asking, "Regarding the Asian Games, we would like to schedule a separate interview with you, sir. We wonder when you would be available?"

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't have time today, I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

The person in charge then asked, "Does the gentleman have any preferences regarding the location of the interview?"

Hideki Yuzuru replied, "It's at my home in Yanjing, the address is *****."

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After finishing his sentence, Hideki Yuzuru hung up the phone and continued his investigation of 'Yunhua Village'.

At this moment, he was wearing a safety helmet, holding design drawings, and standing in front of an old building surrounded by scaffolding in Dong'an Market, communicating with an elderly man next to him.

Although the old man was simply dressed, Hideki Hanyu treated him with great respect.

Because the other party is the chief designer of the "Yunhuali" project, the vice president of Tsinghua Design Institute, a professor in the Department of Architecture at Tsinghua University, and a holder of a series of high-level titles.

Two years later, the Chinese Academy of Engineering was established, and the other party was definitely one of the candidates for academician.

Of course, what intrigued Hideki Yuzuru the most was that his partner was a student of Liang Sicheng and his wife, figures who were only heard about in many old stories.

In his previous life, he would never have dreamed of meeting such a master.

Fortunately, he finally made a name for himself in this timeline. At the beginning of the 'Yunhuali' project, after expressing his desire to find a designer familiar with traditional culture, the higher-ups directly recommended this master to him.

During his inspection of the "Yunhuali" project, Hideki Hanyu specifically invited the chief designer to join him.

It wasn't that he had any problem with the timing of the other person's actions; after all, in terms of professionalism and aesthetic sense, the other person was miles ahead of him.

Unlike those foreign-worshipping scoundrels of the future, Hideki Yuzuru deeply understands that the masters in China during this era are the real masters.

Perhaps in the field of cutting-edge architectural technology, our development is still lagging behind that of foreign countries.

However, when it comes to the design and aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture, overseas designers still have a natural deficiency, and it is not easy to achieve a fusion of tradition and modernity.

After all, China is a vast and ancient country with a profound and extensive traditional culture that cannot be understood or comprehended through mere words or imagined images.

It's not something that some people with ulterior motives can fool by simply replacing China with neon.

The beauty of Chinese civilization can only be truly understood by those deeply influenced by its culture.

Since Hideki Hanyu is going to create a "cultural and creative" commercial real estate in China, he naturally needs to find a master who understands Chinese architectural culture best to create it, so as to set a benchmark from the very beginning.

Today, Hideki Hanyu invited this master simply to communicate with him about how to leave room for future development in his designs.

It wasn't that Hideki Hanyu was dissatisfied with the master's design, but rather that he knew that in this era when mobile phones weren't even widespread and the internet was just beginning to emerge, people simply couldn't imagine what the world would be like decades from now.

In this day and age, no one in the country can imagine how prosperous this land will be in a few decades.

Many seemingly useless designs may not show their effect now, but they can save a lot of trouble in the future.

That's why, after Hideki Hanyu joined the 'Yunhuali' project, he and the masters around him were busy all day long.

We ate lunch at the construction site, bringing our boxed meals with us.

Hideki Hanyu's behavior, however, surprised the masters around him.

Having just taken over the design, when Hideki Hanyu communicated with him on the phone, his Mandarin was even more fluent than Hanyu's, leading the master to believe that he was communicating with the person in charge in China.

It turned out that the person on the other end of the phone was Hideki Hanyu.

A famous author, the world's richest man, and many other titles, Hideki Yuzuru is a celebrity among students even at Tsinghua University.

Moreover, not long ago, Hideki Hanyu donated a research building to Tsinghua University, and not only the building, but also the entire building's research equipment.

That building was named "Mingxiu" Building.

As far as the expert knows, such "Mingxiu" buildings are found in more than 20 universities across the country.

As for why it's called "Mingxiu" Building, it's said that the main body that donated it is called the Mingxiu Foundation.

According to rumors the master heard from the upper echelons, the name Mingxiu comes from the name that Hideki Yuzuru gave himself in China, Liu Mingxiu.

As for why he has the surname Liu, outsiders don't know that Hideki Yuzuru is a time traveler. He simply took the opportunity of choosing a Chinese name to reveal his name from his previous life.

Everyone was speculating that it was related to Hideki Hanyu's lover in Japan.

Of course, this kind of gossip is not something outsiders can casually discuss.

However, in the master's opinion, the name Hideki Yuzuru is quite good. 'His expression is bright and handsome, and his demeanor is refined and elegant.'

The earliest mention of this phrase appears in the "Biography of Wang Yan" in the Book of Jin, and it carries the dual meaning of possessing both an elegant and handsome appearance and inner wisdom and talent.

After several meetings and close interactions, the master felt that the name was indeed fitting for Hideki Hanyu.

Needless to say, anyone with eyes can see that.

As for talent, he is a famous writer and a successful entrepreneur.

In addition, the day spent together, Hideki Hanyu's many suggestions on design, as well as his visions for the future that incorporated modern technology, greatly benefited the master himself.

Furthermore, the respect for the master himself and for knowledge is something rarely seen in many "big figures."

These factors alone were enough to make the master develop a favorable impression of Hideki Hanyu.

With this in mind, the master looked at Xu Qing, the beautiful woman who obediently followed Hideki Yuzuru for another day.

He couldn't help but sigh, even he felt that "bright and handsome, elegant and refined" was a fitting description for Hideki Hanyu.

It's not surprising that these girls would like Hideki Hanyu.

As evening fell, Hideki Hanyu hosted a dinner for the master, and when they parted, they politely said goodbye to each other.

"I'll leave the matter of cooperation to Professor Deng."

The master, known as Professor Deng, said, "This is what I should do."

Hideki Yuzuru continued, "And there's also what I mentioned during dinner: how to redesign Yunhuali incorporating local history and culture if we were to promote it nationwide. If Professor Deng has any ideas, we can continue to collaborate."

Professor Deng gave his reply after a moment's thought.

“I am very interested in your collaboration with you, and I would also like to use my knowledge to combine traditional architectural culture from all over the country with modern commerce.”

But before that, I would like to refine the design of Dong'an Yunhuali based on your suggestions.

Moreover, as you say, combining local traditions with commerce requires more than just theoretical discussion; one must personally visit and investigate the places.

"Professor Deng is right. If you decide when to conduct the inspection in person, please contact my subordinates as soon as possible. We will cover all your inspection expenses."

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Professor Deng immediately expressed his intention to decline.

After all, in this era, a large number of scholars are still very professional and feel that the knowledge required to provide design services to others is something they should naturally possess.

After understanding Professor Deng's meaning, Hideki Yuzuru advised before the other party could speak, "Professor Deng, please don't be so polite with me. Just consider it a cost that I have to pay in order to better advance the project."

After all, if possible, I would like to establish a long-term partnership with Professor Deng. This small amount of help is simply my way of expressing my sincerity.

If maintaining a friendship and cooperation with such a master can be achieved with a negligible expense, then for Yunhua Real Estate's future development in China, it can definitely be considered a maximization of resources.

Under Hideki Yuzuru's insistence, Professor Deng finally agreed, saying, "Once I finish perfecting the design of Dong'an Yunhuali, I will begin the on-site investigation of subsequent projects."

"Professor Deng, please rest assured that I will adopt your design regardless of whether the project can be implemented in various places."

After finishing his speech, Hideki Yuzuru saw Professor Deng off.

Then he turned his head and saw Xu Qing looking bored.

When Hideki Hanyu gets into his work, he immediately becomes completely absorbed in it, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be forgotten by him.

Today, Professor Deng and I discussed and learned from each other about the design of "Yunhuali" in Dong'an. We were so engrossed in it that we completely ignored Xu Qing, who was right next to us.

This woman's mind is full of love and romance, and she has devoted her entire career to the film and television industry. Naturally, she finds something as "boring" as architectural design extremely tedious.

After Hideki Yuzuru realized this, his impression of Xu Qing immediately dropped several notches.

They have degenerated into mere "actors" who do not know how to appreciate traditional culture, have no inner substance or aesthetic sense, are all show and no substance, and take vulgarity as an artistic pursuit.

Hideki Hanyu had nothing to regret about this.

After all, Xu Qing was just a lover he picked up when he was bored in China.

Given the other party's style in the film industry, it was only a matter of time before Hideki Yuzuru dumped her.

As for now, of course, we should enjoy ourselves to the fullest while we are young, beautiful, and full of vitality.

The scumbag stepped forward and put his arm around the girl's slender waist. A few whispered sweet nothings made her beam with joy, completely forgetting that she had been ignored by Hideki Hanyu during the day.

Next, Hideki Hanyu took the beauty sightseeing in the capital at dusk. While driving and enjoying the night view from a high vantage point, they did some enjoyable and beneficial things in the car.

After everything was over, on the way back in the vehicle, Xu Qing suddenly asked Hideki Yuzuru.

"After your interview with CCTV tomorrow, can you go out with me?"

Hideki Yuzuru shook his head, "I can't go with her. I have to pick up my daughter from the airport tomorrow. I need to watch the Asian Games opening ceremony with her."

"Didn't you say you'd watch the Asian Games with me?" Xu Qing said, dissatisfied.

Hideki Hanyu replied, "I didn't say I wouldn't accompany you. I'll accompany my daughter to the opening ceremony, and then I'll accompany you to the games, that's all."

Xu Qing said firmly, "No, you can only accompany me to the Asian Games."

Hideki Yuzuru frowned and said, "Don't talk about such impossible things."

"Then don't come with me! Stop the car! I want to go home!"

Xu Qing suddenly got angry and shouted at Yu Sheng Hideki.

A seasoned scumbag wouldn't tolerate such behavior. He simply parked the car on the side of the road, watched Xu Qing angrily open the door and get out, and then drove off without stopping her.

Seeing that Hideki Yuzuru had really left her behind and didn't even try to comfort her, Xu Qing immediately burst into tears of grievance.

However, even though the scumbag left, considering it was already past midnight, he couldn't just ignore the girl's safety, so he left a bodyguard and a car waiting nearby.

The bodyguard waited until Xu Qing had finished crying and was squatting alone on the ground looking aggrieved before stepping forward and speaking in awkward Mandarin.

"Miss, the boss asked me to take you home."

Even though Hideki Yuzuru had left, he was still concerned for her safety and left bodyguards to protect her and escort her home.

Xu Qing felt a sudden warmth in her heart and began to comfort and strategize, thinking that Hideki Yuzuru still liked her, otherwise he wouldn't care about her like this.

In an instant, the girl's heart was filled with grievances, which unconsciously turned into regret and self-reflection. She wondered if she had been too impulsive and had not considered Hideki Hanyu's feelings enough.

Thinking about how Hideki Hanyu hadn't rested all day and had been playing with her until now, she started to think of how good Hideki Hanyu was.

However, he felt a little embarrassed to ask the girl to go find Hideki Hanyu immediately.

Therefore, she decided to have her bodyguard take her home first, and then try to contact Hideki Hanyu later.

What Xu Qing didn't know was that while she was struggling with her thoughts and torn between two options...

When Hideki Yuzuru got home, he fell asleep immediately, completely forgetting about Xu Qing.

After all, the idea of ​​being heartbroken and contemplating suicide over a woman is something that Hideki Hanyu would never do.
