Chapter 205 Please remember my name
Because of the movie starring Jay Chou, it became the most familiar neon car comic in China.
Definitely "Initial D".
What Akina mountain bike god?
What drainage channel is curved?
What about the 86 going up the mountain and the Mercedes-Benz going up the tree?
Even people who have never read comics can relate to various famous memes.
However, in Neon, there is also a comic called "Wangan Midnight", which is also very popular among comic fans.
The two comics also have completely different charms because of the different places where the stories were born.
The story of "Initial D" takes place in Gunma County.
Gunma, on the other hand, is considered a remote place by Tokyoites.
In the story, a young man drives an inexpensive car and runs through the mountains, defeating his opponents one after another, burning with youthful passion.
Therefore, "Initial D" seems more down-to-earth, making it accessible to ordinary people.
The story of "Wangan Midnight" takes place in Tokyo.
Most of the characters in comics are rich people.
They drive expensive sports cars and spend millions on modifications.
When drag racing, more emphasis is placed on the vehicle's sustained acceleration capabilities and high-speed driving stability.
The comic spends a lot of pen and ink describing the performance and modification process of the vehicle in detail.
It doesn't emphasize driving skills like "Initial D".
It gives comic fans a more realistic feeling.
The main stage of drag racing in the comic is also the name of the comic.
In the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway system, there are a large number of straight "shore lines" built along the harbor, starting from Takatani and ending at Yukiura.
Midnight in the name means midnight.
The drag racing competition on the "Wanghan Line" will not start until after midnight.
And what appeared in front of Hanyu Hideki's eyes at this time.
It's comparable to a scene in a comic.
Modified cars roared wildly or flashed lights of various colors.
And in addition to cars, Hanyu Hideki can also see many modified motorcycles.
Modified car enthusiasts, professional racing drivers, bosozokus, delinquents who dress in "trendy" styles, and even extreme elements who like to race.
They shuttled among the vehicles.
Some are betting on games.
Some are exchanging modification experiences.
Some just want to show off their cars.
There are also people who don’t have cars, but just think it’s cool here and come to join in the fun.
This is the impact brought about by the development of the neon automobile industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
The booming car modification culture.
And just as Hanyu Hideki was observing these cars, his arrival also attracted the attention of others.
A supercar costing more than 40 million yuan, even without any modifications, is still quite eye-catching.
Hanyu Hideki couldn't care less about other people's eyes for the time being. He carefully followed Ito Shinsuke and Tanaka Yukio.
First we found an open space and stopped.
When the sharp scissor door opened, he heard someone next to him exclaim.
There is no way, let’s talk about the impact of the car’s appearance.
Lamborghini has done really well.
At this time, Yukio Tanaka, who parked his car next to him, walked over with a proud look on his face.
This guy pointed at his Nissan Z31, which was not turned off and whose headlights kept flashing, and said to Hideki Hanyu.
"Hanyu-kun, what everyone here is after is modification. Expensive cars may not necessarily attract girls."
It's obvious.
When Tanaka Yukio was eating just now, the 'resentment' he had accumulated because Hanyu Hideki was too popular with girls has not dissipated yet.
But as soon as Yukio Tanaka finished speaking, a cute girl walked up to the red Lamborghini.
After looking at the car with surprise, he asked Hanyu Hideki.
"Hello, does this car belong to you? Can you take me to Wangan for a ride later?"
Perhaps because they didn't know each other, or perhaps because the lights were dim at midnight, the girls didn't recognize Hanyu Hideki.
"Ha ha……"
Shinsuke Ito, who stood nearby and watched Yukio Tanaka being slapped in the face by the speed of light, smiled unkindly.
Tanaka Yukio asked the girl a little unconvinced, "Well, I will go to Wangan in a while, how about taking my car."
Who would have thought that when the girl heard what Yukio Tanaka said, she looked at Yukio Tanaka's car and said in a disgusting tone, "I don't want to get into 31."
Ha ha……
Next to him, Shinsuke Ito couldn't help laughing again.
This time even Hideki Hanyu couldn't hold back.
Hideki Hanyu stopped laughing and patted Yukio Tanaka on the shoulder, "Yukio-san, it seems that expensive cars cannot attract girls because they are not expensive enough."
"Hmph, Hanyu-san will accompany me to pick up a Ferrari tomorrow!"
Yukio Tanaka said unhappily.
"It's okay for me to accompany Yukio-san, but is it okay for Mrs. Tanaka? Do you need me to help you advance the payment first?"
Hanyu Hideki did not doubt the financial strength of the Tanaka family, but only doubted the financial strength of Tanaka Yukio.
"Master Hanyu-san, you are looking down on people. Our clothing store has made very good profits in the past two months. It is only one car. Mother will definitely agree."
Hearing what Yukio Tanaka said, Hideki Hanyu wanted to complain.
Uniqlo in Ginza has good sales results.
Isn't it because of the sales staff he trained?
Isn't it because of the support behind Yanai Masaru, Kogun Shoji, and Tanaka Clothing?
What does it have to do with you, a young master who doesn’t care about anything?
He wanted to complain, but Yukio Tanaka's boasting continued.
"Our turnover in April exceeded 60 million yen, and in May it exceeded 70 million yen. The Ishizuka store manager said that the turnover will definitely exceed 100 million within two months!"
Seeing the excited look on Yukio Tanaka's face, Hideki Hanyu rarely spoke in a tone of approval.
"It's really not easy for Yukio-san to care about the store's sales."
In fact, not only Yukio Tanaka said it, Hideki Hanyu also knew about the sales volume.
Yanai Tadashi will send him an income and expenditure report every month.
The largest part of the expenditure was the rent given to him as the landlord.
24 million yen per month.
It seems like a lot, but it's actually the preferential price he gave.
For shops in areas like 2-chome, the monthly rent per square meter is basically more than 40,000 yen.
If the bubble economy starts, the rent will soar to more than 80,000 yen.
Moreover, he didn’t make any money from the 24 million yen, and it wasn’t even enough to repay the monthly loan payment for the shop’s bank loan.
And according to Yanai Masaru, relying solely on the Ginza store for development is not enough.
Therefore, it is recommended not to pay dividends for the time being, but to use profits to continue expansion.
Yanai Masaru's opinion is to continue looking for larger stores to open branches.
But Hideki Hanyu did not intend to support this approach.
To be continued...
