Chapter 160: Appearance Fee and Japanese Lady

Time is the only thing in the world that does not change with the changes of everything, it will always break through everything.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Milo came to Neon.

June 14, 1996.

"…It was established in the 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Minister of the Imperial Court…"

In the Osaka Castle tower, a woman in a kimono accompanied Milo and explained this ancient building.

"Although I don't know much about the history of Neon, I have heard that this Minister of the Imperial Court was born in a very humble family and relied entirely on his own hard work and good luck to rise to this position step by step. This is a pretty good inspirational story."

Milo continued what she said.

"According to folk legend, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mother became pregnant after dreaming of the sun god, so even though she was born in a humble family, she still became the regent in the end." The kimono-clad Sakura girl added with a smile.

"Yeah?"

Milo suddenly laughed, "It seems that even the Sun God cannot defeat the Sixth Heaven Demon King. If Oda Nobunaga had not encountered the Honnoji Incident, it would never have been Toyotomi Hideyoshi's turn to unify Japan."

The kimono-clad Sakura girl couldn't help but show a surprised look: "Mr. Blackburn is really modest. Knowing about Oda Nobunaga and the Honnoji Incident doesn't mean you don't know much about him."

"I just know more about this period of... Neon history."

Milo shrugged. He knew this mostly from the games.

Otherwise, who would be interested in learning about the so-called Japanese Warring States period where hundreds of people were fighting with each other.

But he was very satisfied with the reaction of the Sakura girl, although half of her surprise was pretended.

But she still looked very cute and beautiful. Asian women were indeed attractive to him.

The kimono Sakura girl is named Sumitomo Junko, not Sumitomo Youjun.

She is Sumitomo Tomojun's direct cousin and the daughter of Sumitomo Tomojun's uncle.

The story goes back to the explosion five days ago.

After the explosion, it was affected by this black swan event.

Japan's bond, foreign exchange and stock markets all fell, with the market value losing hundreds of billions of dollars in one day, resulting in heavy losses.

But they acted quickly, or rather, they reacted very quickly when facing their American dad.

We have to be sensitive. The Special Investigation Division of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office has started arresting people.

The third day, which was the evening of the 10th.

The protagonist Blackburn, who "luckily" survived the bombing, stood up.

He was interviewed by NHK TV and changed his attitude of disappointment and dissatisfaction with Neon and Tokyo that he expressed in the last press conference.

“…I think Tokyo deserves the title of No. 1 in Asia. In fact, I think Tokyo does better than Los Angeles and New York in many areas.”

"The only thing more beautiful than the night view of Manhattan is probably the night view of Tokyo Bay."

“…”

In short, he just boasted a lot, and then said that he planned to launch a large-scale investment in Neon.

It is expected to invest US$3 billion to develop its business in Neon.

Therefore, he is very optimistic about the future of Neon and Tokyo, and believes that the people of Japan will soon be able to get rid of the impact of the bursting of the bubble a few years ago.

After he, the core figure of this incident, stood up and said such words and did such things.

The financial black swan caused by the "Tokyo June 8 Incident" in Neon cannot be said to have completely disappeared, but it is starting to get better.

As for the international reputation, it has been somewhat salvaged.

In addition, the current Japan is not the same Japan as it will be in the future. It is still the world's second largest economy.

The foundation left over from the thirty years of struggle during the Showa era is still there, and with a multi-pronged approach and some sacrifice, Neon was finally pulled back from a small economic crisis.

As for Sumitomo Junko, what should she say?

It's just a bonus.

Panasonic celebrates its deal with Paladin Media.

When the MCA Group, which was losing more than 10 billion US dollars and had debts of more than 3 billion US dollars, was sold to Paladin Media for 2 billion US dollars.

Junko Sumitomo appears, representing the Panasonic Group.

After the deal was reached, Milo continued to entertain him and said he would stay in Neon for a while.

She is now Milo's tour guide in Neon.

Milo and she had been in Tokyo for two days, and just yesterday they traveled to Osaka, another big city in Japan.

“Osaka does have a very rich historical heritage, which is unmatched by the United States.”

Milo said to Sumitomo Junko with a smile.

After saying this, he glanced at the NHK filming team that had been following him for three days.

Since you have already accepted the other party's kindness, you have to show some appreciation.

Milo said that in addition to publicly accepting good words in an interview with NHK.

Also includes this -

An NHK interview team followed him for a few days and filmed him traveling around Japan.

What? Would Milo feel suffocated being filmed and followed like this?

Come on, that's more than four billion dollars in appearance fee.

Even if you ask La Zipperton to come here to be photographed, I won't feel uncomfortable! Milo said that he would do whatever he wanted.

He can bear it.

We have been shooting for three days, and today is the fourth day.

After today's filming, Milo won't have to continue to stand in front of the camera every day.

However, after a few days, Milo's thoughts changed a little.

At first, he came to Tokyo to command the subsequent Southeast Asian operations nearby.

By the way, talk to Panasonic Group about MCA.

But after the explosion, I went through field investigations and tours over the past few days.

Milo discovered that some things can only be discovered through field investigation.

For example, Avex.

This company, which was able to take away most of the Japanese market from Sony Records a few years later, was only founded in 1988.

Perhaps it is because they are young that they can achieve this.

Many of Japan's long-established companies have very good welfare benefits, and treat their employees almost as if they had a lifetime employment relationship.

Once you get in, you won't leave. Although this can make employees loyal, it also restricts their own development.

Avex is currently in a stage of rapid development and is in need of a large amount of capital, so it is not difficult to get involved.

Of course, Japanese business was once complex and as xenophobic as that in the United States.

Even if there is no big Japanese conglomerate behind them now, it does not mean that there will not be one in the future.

However, first of all, Milo does not necessarily need Avex, and he has no intention of controlling Avex.

Just getting a seat on the board would be enough.

Although Avex is independent of the other five major record companies, its influence only extends to East Asia.

So at most it is a stepping stone for Milo to East Asia. His focus is still in North America, with Europe at most.

In addition, Neon has an animation that he also wants to get involved in.

Although Japan's animation industry has begun to develop rapidly, it has not yet been fully integrated.

As long as Milo shows his intention to broadcast Japanese cartoons on his own TV station, there is no need to worry that Japanese people will not flock to it.

You should know that TBS also has many subscribers in Europe.

And there are a lot of good things in terms of animation copyrights, such as part of the copyrights of "Tom and Jerry" and part of the copyrights of "The Smurfs". Although its Hanna·Barbera Animation Studio is not very famous, it has also produced many popular works, such as "The Powerpuff Girls", so it is very attractive in terms of animation.

It must be admitted that Neon Man's animation is quite popular all over the world.

A few years later, it even surpassed American animation.

Although this has something to do with the large number of superheroes being adapted for the big screen.

But Japan’s strength in the two-dimensional animation is also one of the reasons.

If he could obtain the overseas copyright of Neon Animation at this time, it would be a great boost to the development of the broadcasting company he owns.

Of course, Milo will not forget to tease the Japanese.

He plans to acquire one or several small animation studios in Neon.

After the integration, the conception of the three major civilian comics was handed over to them.

It doesn’t matter whether you are popular or not.

He just wanted to know what kind of popular anime the Japanese would come up with after these ideas were used.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He certainly wouldn't believe that after the three major comics were completed in advance, Japan would have no other animations.

Just as he still accounts for a large portion of the outstanding Hollywood films after plagiarizing so many of them, Neon animation also has its own sound mechanism.

Just like Brown, the real creator of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons".

He also published a novel this year, which is very similar in style to Milo's "The Da Vinci Code".

It was just launched last month and it’s selling pretty well.

When he was interviewed by the media, he openly stated that he was a fan of Milo's books, and that much of the content of his book was a tribute to "The Da Vinci Code."

What did Milo do? Kill him with plain American business warfare?

No, Milo asked his copyright company to contact him directly.

Or sign a contract and become one of Milo's screenwriters and writers.

Or just wait for the lawsuit.

The latter knelt down in an instant, without even waiting for the people Milo sent to threaten him with a lawsuit or something.

Dan Brown expressed his great delight and said that he would be very happy to join Blackburn Publishing and Copyright Company.

In this case, Milo certainly wouldn't mind having a truly famous writer under his command.

Milo also believes that even without "Angels and Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code".

As long as Dan Brown's creative passion remains, he will always be able to write some more best-selling novels.

It is at least a cash cow, it would be a shame if it were cut down.

"Mr. Blackburn, do you want to take a shower?" Sumitomo Junko's voice sounded at this time, bringing Milo back to reality from his memories and thoughts.

After a day of sightseeing in Osaka, Milo and Sumitomo Junko stayed in a Japanese-style hotel near Wakayama at night.

Although the location is a bit remote, this hotel is doing quite well.

Wakayama's open-air hot springs are also well-known, and many people choose to come here for vacation in autumn or winter.

Milo turned around and looked at Sumitomo Junko.

She was barefoot, having changed into another special kimono. She walked up to him in small, shy steps, and bowed deeply.

Different from ordinary kimono, this is a modified version of sexy kimono.

Her fair neck and delicate collarbone were exposed, and her milky white skin was even more clearly visible when she bowed. The high slit below could reveal her thighs with just a slight move.

Milo then took her into his arms, sat her down on the floor-standing Simmons mattress, and reached in.

Junko hummed softly, her eyes half open, and she watched Milo do whatever he wanted to her in a very submissive manner.

Since she is a tour guide, since she is an extra, she is also very beautiful, and her last name is Sumitomo, which is interesting.

The next night, when Milo and the five Sakura girls who accompanied him were happy.

Sumitomo Junko, who was next door, was pulled over by Milo, who was above her, and soon became the leader of Tokiwa Takako and the others.

I don’t know if it’s because of Milo’s method or other reasons.

After getting over her initial uneasiness and shyness, she became more and more enthusiastic, as if she was particularly satisfied with Milo.

“Anna.”

Milo said that Anna was Sumitomo Junko's English name. "If your father and cousin knew what we are like now, what would they think?"

Sumitomo Junko's face was bright red, and she gasped slightly, "What else can I feel? Mr. Blackburn, they can't afford to mess with you. No man in Japan can afford to mess with you, so I was sent to you."

Hearing her say this, Milo moved slightly on her milky white, then continued.

"And what about you?"

"Mr. Blackburn is a very gentle man." Sumitomo Junko said this, and she has said this more than once.

There were more smiles on his face, and they were not mostly fake like on the first day.

Junko Sumitomo recalled her reaction a few days ago when she heard that she was going to be sent to the Americans.

The first person to tell her about this was a cousin of Sumitomo Junko.

That cousin obeyed the family's orders and married into a branch of the Kujo family.

He is said to be a branch of the Kujo family, but he is actually an American-Japanese mixed-race child.

The cousin's husband's father was an African-American general in the Zama Barracks.

My cousin's husband is half Japanese.

But he looks exactly like a black person, even though his Japanese surname is a noble one like Kujo.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the cousin told Sumitomo Junko the news.

My cousin looked at her meaningfully and said nothing more.

This reminds me of the stories I've heard about in the past about Japanese ladies who were married to or even given to Americans.

Sumitomo Junko felt a chill in her heart.

But she had no choice, and the inherent fragility of Japanese women eventually made her succumb and be sent to this man.

Although she was surprised by the other person's appearance and identity, and although she couldn't help crying when she was pulled over that night.

One is lamenting about his own fate, the other is really in pain.

She had thought that this would either irritate the other person or make him or her more excited, and she knew that some people liked that.

But the other party suddenly became surprisingly gentle, and several caresses and kisses made her completely relax.

It also allowed her to taste the beauty of the world.

The next day, apart from the inconvenience in walking, I didn't feel much discomfort.

This may also be related to her height, she is 1.75 meters tall.

This is considered tall among Japanese women, or even among all Japanese people.

Milo smiled when he heard Sumitomo Junko say that he was gentle.

He decided to make Sumitomo Junko one of his collections.

It's not that she is particularly beautiful or has a good figure, although she is indeed very pretty and cute.

But because of her identity, her last name is Sumitomo, that's enough.

When I want to intervene in Japan and Asia in the future, she can serve as a raft.

This has nothing to do with America's control over Japan, it's just that Milo Blackburn wants to have another point of influence expansion in Japan.

So it’s not wrong to be gentle with her.
