Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

……

"This is it!" Fujiwara Sakura stood downstairs with the name of Sanyou Investment Bank, with an excited expression.

Then he saw a man with a serious expression about to take out a cigarette from the cigarette case looking at him, Fujiwara Sakura felt a sudden heart, bent down and said hello: "Excuse me."

"What's the expression on that face? Be friendly! And don't smoke here, you bastard!"

She looked up, and saw another man in sunglasses grabbing the guy's head.

"...I'm sorry, Brother Xiong!"

Fujiwara Sakura recognized it, and quickly said hello: "Good morning, Minister Irie."

Irie Yuta smiled with sunglasses on, but actually looked a bit evil: "Are you here to attend the induction ceremony? Just go up to the fourth floor."

"Yes, thank you!"

Fujiwara Sakura bent down to the person who was about to smoke and now looked embarrassed, and entered the building, and heard Minister Irie scolding him behind him: "This is a place where many club employees work, and they will all be your customers from now on! No. Make a good impression?"

Nara Yuma was very melancholy: "So why do I have to live such a hard life..."

"...Are you an idiot? How nice it is to be the store manager."

Today is the day when Tao Zhiming brought back 50 people from Hokkaido to report their employment. Because Irie Yuta knows everyone, he is here on the first floor to welcome them.

Fujiwara Sakura entered the lobby on the first floor, and saw that there were different clubs on each floor above the floor sign, and she couldn't help but whispered in a daze: "Wow... this is the official office building in Tokyo."

She waited at the elevator entrance, standing weakly aside, nodding and shrinking away when she saw someone approaching.

He is a very young senior.

After the elevator door opened, Fujiwara Sakura also let him in first.

Probably because I was too excited, I came earlier, and there were still few people coming to work, and I didn't see anyone who also came from Wakkanai.

"Which floor?" asked the young senior in the elevator.

"Eh?" Fujiwara Sakura hurriedly bent over again, "Fourth floor, thank you very much."

"Oh? Are you a newcomer joining today?"

"...Yes." Fujiwara Sakura's eyes lit up, "Could it be that senior is also from a dimensional culture?"

Ueno Yosuke smiled slightly: "I am the president."

Fujiwara Sakura's eyes widened and she stammered: "President...President?"

Ueno Yosuke thought it was a good feeling, and smiled reservedly on his face: "Are you from Hokkaido? What's your name?"

"Fujiwara Sakura!" She bent over 90 degrees nervously, "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me in the future!"

"Don't be so nervous." Uedo Yosuke said with a smile, "Our Dimension Culture is a young company, let's work hard."

"...Yes!" Fujiwara Sakura replied sonorously.

Ueno Yosuke looked at the timid but determined beautiful girl, and he was in a good mood.

Dalang still didn't lie to me, beautiful girls, isn't this the beginning of management?

Chapter 263, New Enemy

The fourth floor arrived soon, and as soon as she got out of the elevator, Fujiwara Sakura saw the logo wall of the club, and under the wall, there were actually several big dolls piled up.

"Come here, wait in the meeting room first." Yosuke Uedo took two steps forward, pointed in one direction, "Over there."

"Yes!" Fujiwara Sakura anxiously followed, and then entered the office area.

Groups of desks are placed in the spacious hall-like room, and it looks like there are dozens of them.

It didn't look like many people came downstairs just now, but at this moment, there are actually many people sitting down and starting to work.

Is this the assembly club?Everyone looks so motivated.I don't know what it's like to be a bookstore as a clerk.

Seeing that the other seniors did say hello to him, Fujiwara Sakura confirmed from their address that that person was indeed the president.

So young!

Fujiwara Sakura couldn't help admiring, are all young people in Tokyo so powerful?

With excitement, she walked to the meeting room and sat down. After entering the door, she realized that she was not the first one.

"Sakura!"

Fujiwara Sakura excitedly trotted over and sat down, whispering: "I just met the president, and we took the elevator up together! Very young and handsome!"

"Really? Not only the president, but the president is also very young?"

Discussions are not loud, but everyone is full of longing for future work.

As time passed, the conference room gradually filled up.

The discussion stopped instantly after several people walked in together, Fujiwara Sakura looked up, it was the president!

Tao Zhiming and Yosuke Uedo sat in the middle together, and the other senior executives sat on both sides.

Yosuke Uedo stood up and said loudly: "Then, the welcome and induction ceremony for new members begins now!"

Fujiwara Sakura first sat down and listened to the president begin to introduce the departments and leaders of each department in the club, and was shocked to hear that the president actually concurrently served as the head of the strategic cooperation department.

But my position is a clerk in a bookstore, so I should be under the leadership of Minister Yamamoto, right?

Looks like a nice old man.

But who knows, the president said: "Now we are starting to arrange the business departments where everyone works, and some people have made adjustments. The first is the bookstore retail business department..."

Fujiwara Sakura blankly listened to him finish reading the list, and then read the magazine business department, but he didn't hear his name.

So, I am going to the department led by the president or the president?

"...Next is the Strategic Cooperation Department, Fujiwara Sakura..."

Hearing that her name was pronounced first, Fujiwara Sakura couldn't help but look at the chairman.But he was looking down at some document, but Deputy Chief Masui looked at himself with a smile.

Is it the strategic cooperation department?Fujiwara Sakura was a little confused, what did that do?

"Everyone has filled out the information on the entry form, and the work clothes that fit will be distributed to everyone before the end of work today. Now, Director Yamamoto and Director Naoe will lead the new members of the department to meet other seniors and arrange the work later. Members of the Publishing Department and the Strategic Cooperation Department please stay."

Fujiwara Sakura was assigned to the Strategic Cooperation Department, so she stayed in the conference room.

"Let's all sit at the front." Yosuke Uedo waited for the remaining 15 people to sit at the front before saying, "For the club, our publishing business department and strategic cooperation department are brand new departments. Now Except for experienced seniors transferred from other departments, there is a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, everyone must study hard and earnestly complete the assigned work."

"Yes!" Fujiwara Sakura looked at his minister, the chairman, and now he looked up at everyone.

It was still Yosuke Uedo who spoke: "At this stage, the work of the Publishing Department and the Strategic Cooperation Department are the same, that is, to find contracted writers and cartoonists for the club! Listen, this is what we need in the next week finished work……"

Only then did Fujiwara Sakura know what the job she was about to do was.

Looking for contracted writers and cartoonists?

But, it sounds amazing!

"...every university, high school in Tokyo, and every society related to literature and comics must be contacted to pass on the information of our dimensional culture and the reward policy for creators! The second floor of this building And the third floor is a comfortable creative space completely opened up for creators, and creators who sign contracts with us can live here for free!" Yosuke Uedo did a lot of homework, picked up a stack of materials, "Sakura, Help distribute it to everyone."

Fujiwara Sakura quickly stood up: "Yes!"

Yosuke Ueno said at the same time: "Light novels are a literary genre that is not taken seriously now. Everyone's work may be relatively easy. But it will be more difficult for manga artists. Their first choice is manga magazines that already have a large circulation, and ours "Comics Dimension" has not yet launched a publication. Therefore, let them see our strong strength. The reward of 20 yen for signing a contract, and the reward of 200 million yen for each of ten outstanding works this year, should also be able to impress many people. "

While sending out information, Fujiwara Sakura only hated herself for not being talented.

Dimensional Culture's strategy for the light novel library and comic magazines had to start with newly recruited members who didn't know anything. Tao Zhiming's only advantage at present is money, and he still has a clear direction.

At this point in time, light novels have not been taken seriously.

He asked Uedo Yosuke to do research. At present, major publishers, including the famous Kadokawa Shoten, have not yet started to launch the light novel library.

At present, although the major clubs have started to hold annual awards for manga or novels, the prize money has not exceeded one million yen.

Tao Zhiming would rather throw money at him than throw out a preconceived idea.

Dimensional culture is the first to carry the banner of light novels.

Even in the most prosperous years of the bubble, everyone will be more addicted to real material enjoyment.But this bubble will eventually burst, and the Heisei generation will eventually live in a house!

A few years, to put it bluntly, how much extra can it cost?

But after spending a lot of money to buy horse bones in the past few years, he wants to gather all the best creators of Neon.

Of course, Tao Zhiming had to find two very good editorial teams for the light novel library and comic magazine.

……

"Has he really started to seriously manage that dimensional culture?"

In the car, Ryunosuke Iwasaki was holding a flyer for Dimension Culture to recruit creators to contribute, and looked at it seriously.

"Yes!" his staff member Shimojo Yamamoto replied seriously, "Since returning to Tokyo, he has basically stayed in that building. Even if JUNIANA'S TOKYO caused a sensation recently, he didn't respond through WanderDance. "

"Love, dreams, youth... What is he going to do?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke put down the flyer, closed his eyes and thought quietly.

The cry of his brother before he died still echoed in his dreams from time to time.

[Ryunosuke, remember your words, guard!Attack, be careful! 】

"Forget it." Ryunosuke Iwasaki slowly opened his eyes, "Just keep paying attention."

Yamamoto Shimojo nodded clearly, and then asked, "Master Iwasaki, are you really going to sell that mansion to the Chiyan family?"

"Then what can be done?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke said calmly, "To protect the family, of course you have to make enough gestures."

"But you've given up enough..."

Ryunosuke Iwasaki smiled and shook his head: "It's not enough. To keep those core shares, the necessary exchange is needed."

Yamamoto Shojo was a little sad, and said softly: "It's really hard work for you."

"You can't say that." Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked out of the car window, "Compared with ten years ago, even if it has shrunk so much now, the strength of the Iwasaki family is still stronger. This is... brother thanks to

Yamamoto Shimoshiro remained silent.

"Shuangcheng, don't act rashly." Iwasaki Ryuunosuke glanced back at him, "That is a truly powerful enemy, he can be killed in one blow. I can't make the Yantian family and the Takehara family feel dangerous at this moment, and they will have to pay for their grievances." No matter what the purpose of Tao Dalang's current actions is, after all, he wants to become a powerful and great figure. One day, his existence will touch the core interests of other families. That’s right, it’s a different situation.”

"I understand."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke nodded: "I am still young, and you are even younger. Let's focus on ten years later, on the next generation. I hope Tao Dalang can develop smoothly and truly become a chess player. Wait until he When the territory under your command is larger and there are many soldiers and generals, there will inevitably be many loopholes, and you have to defend a long line of defense."

The car drove all the way to the mansion where Iwasaki Kuranosuke lived, and a luxurious black car was parked at the door.

Yamamoto Shimoshiro got out of the car and opened the door for him, and Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked up after getting off.

Then, he walked into the courtyard door silently.

In the room, a slender old man was looking at the house, turned around after hearing footsteps, and greeted with a smile: "Iwasaki-kun!"

"Chiyan-san, are you satisfied?"

Akayan Shinmizu, the current owner of the Akayan family, another core family of Mitsubishi, nodded: "I didn't expect Iwasaki-kun to be willing to sell this mansion with a long history."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked around the house with nostalgic eyes: "At that time, I was also born and raised in this place. The family was unfortunate, and Kuranosuke put me in this situation. It is necessary to raise enough funds to make up for the losses caused before. There isn't much else to do."

Chi Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "Aren't you going to take revenge on that kid?"

"Forgive me." Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled wryly, "Although Kuranosuke did something wrong, in the eyes of my ineffective younger brother, I have admired his talent since childhood. Even he was defeated I really can't deal with the opponent who comes. Besides, if I can protect the Iwasaki family well, I already need to go all out."

Chi Yan felt a little dissatisfied on the contrary, frowned and said: "Iwasaki-kun, as the majestic head of the Iwasaki family, how can a man of our Great Neon Empire be so depressed!"

"You taught me a lesson." Iwasaki Ryunosuke bowed solemnly instead, "However, I don't want to bring more trouble to the family."

Akayan Shinsui sat on the sofa that Iwasaki Kuranosuke used to like to sit on, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I heard that kid talking eloquently and mocking Kuranosuke, who is also a dignified patriarch, in a bitter tone that day. They are all a little angry. The mere low-ranking people are so smug! Especially, as a descendant of Xia Guo's laborers, they have such a domineering posture. Ueda Masahiro is ashamed of being a Chinese. To cooperate with him is to lose his respect as a samurai. National Loyalty!"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke didn't speak, and sat quietly on the other side, like a child obediently obeying his elders.

Chiyan Xinshui glanced at him, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, I know that you quoted such a price because you hope to get the support of Chiyan's family. I will speak up on the board of directors. The fault committed by Kuranosuke , It shouldn’t be your responsibility. The Shiota family’s appetite is too big now. This time, not only the Iwasaki family has suffered losses, but our Mitsubishi has been ridiculed by other guys! At this time, we should be united Externally. Although I have been guarding the field of heavy industry, I will not let go of the guy who caused such a loss to Mitsubishi! What about you? Revenge for my brother is also righteous!"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke was silent for a long time, but still bowed his head and said, "I'm very sorry. Kuranosuke's warning to me is to protect me."

There was a trace of reassurance and disdain in Chiyan Xinshui's eyes: "Then let me do it. I will always do my best when dealing with the enemy."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke even persuaded: "Akayan-san, if this damages the interests of the entire Mitsubishi, will Shiota-san be dissatisfied?"

"Why harm the interests of Mitsubishi?" Akayan Xinshui sneered, "That kid is right in saying that Kuranosuke has been successful for too many years, so he despises him. But I regard him as a real enemy. Under such circumstances, with the power of my Chiyan family, it is enough to defeat him head-on."

"Akayan-san, anyway, please be careful." Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked considerate for him, "The opponent is actually Sumitomo and Mitsui who joined forces, and Tao Dalang's talent is very useful to them. This kind of thing, It could easily turn into a battle between everyone. After all, everyone is the backbone of the neon economy."

"Don't worry." Chiyan Xinshui shook his head confidently, "If the business competition is upright, how can it evolve into a battle between our consortia? If Tao Dalang's talent reveals his true background in this competition, it means he is at the end of the road In the end, it will only prove that Kuranosuke underestimated him last time and ignored Ueda Masahiro's backstab. What's more, who made Tao Dalang choose a field where the opponent is already very strong?"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke was stunned: "What field?"
