Osaka Prince Hotel is located in the corner of Nakanoshima, with 1,000 guest rooms, ranking first in the Kansai hotel industry; it is also one of the few luxury hotels in Japan; it is a symbol of Osaka. On December 20th, the Prince's Hotel was full of "Xiedian" personnel.The MLT-3 product sales meeting, which became the center of the topic, was grandly opened from the morning. Rented a large banquet hall called "Da Dian Xuan", which can accommodate 3,500 people if you eat standing up.Here, on the one hand, the "Kyoden" home appliance exhibition centered on the MLT-3 TV set was held, and on the other hand, a booth was opened in the banquet hall.From early in the morning, relevant personnel flocked to the place, so it was so lively!

"Head, good job!" Shunichiro Hanaoka squinted his eyes, looking at the continuous stream of guests. "According to this, the guests can arrive halfway before noon." Susumu Hanaoka, who just swung the ax at the "Star Denken" cadre the day before yesterday, nodded with great satisfaction. "The problem is the product introduction meeting in the afternoon. As long as this pass..." "Safety measures have been taken. Almost all of the attendees are paid journalists and guests. I don't think difficult questions will be raised." "Anyway, don't be careless. Because you don't know who will get in."

Shunichiro fiddled nervously with the manager's badge on his chest.Since early in the morning, he has repeatedly corrected and corrected the corsage of the word "manager" in the block script Gongshu.Even for a man like him, he seemed very unsettled. No wonder.The introduction of new products, which will be held in the banquet hall after lunch, is one of the important items of the product fair.The protagonist at the meeting should be Shibuya Natsuo, the inventor of the new product. Even if someone else can introduce it on your behalf, it is impossible to answer complex questions about mechanical principles without Shibuya directly answering.

This is routine.It's like a theater premiere, with speeches by famous stars, and it's an encore program.And it has been decided that TV Osaka will broadcast "Natsuo Shibuya, the third innovator of the electronics industry" to the whole country on that day. Needless to say, Shibuya's question and answer with the TV announcer was kept to a minimum.They had already arranged that Susumu Hanaoka would answer most of the conversations, and only let Shibuya say a simple "yes" or "no". If it goes well, such a good advertising campaign is rare.However, if one step is wrong, they will make a fool of themselves in the world. Not only will Junichiro and Hanaoka be ruined, but it will also lead to the fatal failure of the weak electricity faction.

I would have been unwilling to put all my eggs in one basket on such a danger.However, if you refuse the rare TV station to broadcast to the whole country, you may be suspicious of the strong telegraphers. Even if Shibuya's dementia is suspected, it is only an internal matter of the company, and the strong electricity group will not do anything to reveal Shibuya's old background.The scary thing is that a third party asks questions. All possible measures were taken.As long as people from hostile companies do not mix in, the introduction of new products should be successfully completed with the close cooperation of the technician team and supporters who protect Shibuya.

However, it is difficult to guarantee that no one from the hostile company will sneak in.Although I don't think so, but the subordinates of the strong electricity faction may pretend to be a third party and come in to make trouble. In short, there is absolutely no room for optimism.On the high stage, a pair of twin sisters who are the most popular in the music world are singing sweet songs.The guests gradually became active. Sales at the fair were also surprisingly good.Even ordinary hotel guests come to fairs to buy goods. The whole morning was spent amidst the booming business.Hanaoka thought to himself: The time to come is coming.New product introductions will be held at the Central Ballroom on the 10th floor from 1:00 pm.Although he has no appetite, in order to meet the battle, he got into the cafeteria.

After eating a small amount of ox tongue fish in cream and chestnut dessert, I walked to a guest room on the ninth floor.Shibuya is hidden here. "How about it?" He asked the guard rather than the attendant, but he didn't seem to expect an answer from him. "As usual." "Yeah." He nodded and said, "Have you let him eat enough? If the usual ugly appearance appears at the meeting, it will be terrible!" "Don't worry about this. Let him eat so much that his stomach is almost bursting, and he can't even hold a drop of water." "Well, let's go, there are still ten minutes."

It's finally time for battle.Susumu Hanaoka and three subordinates held Shibuya in the middle, walked through the corridor where no one was seen, and walked towards the elevator entrance. Nearly a hundred people have gathered in the central banquet hall "Tianmanxuan" on the tenth floor.Most of the people present are close friends of Susumu Hanaoka.The problem is a handful of "strangers" who get in the mix. Although the number of people is not large, the live broadcast of this meeting will be broadcast to the whole country by Osaka TV.Hanaoka was a little timid before the battle.After a while, it's time.

"This is 'Temmanken' on the 10th floor of the Prince Hotel in Osaka. Today's 'Afternoon Time Program' interviewed the invention of the pocket-sized miniature color TV, which is said to have completed the third electronic industrial revolution, at the exhibition site. The author, 'Edison of Japan' - Mr. Natsuo Shibuya." With the announcer's gentle introduction, the broadcast began.A glib conversation followed, as if reciting lines. Shibuya can't be allowed to speak!However, broadcasting has already started, but it is difficult to do so. Let Hanaoka Susumu and the nurse answer Shibuya as nonchalantly as possible, and let Shibuya say a few words no matter what.Even so, Jin Hanaoka was scared like walking on thin ice.

Shunichiro, Susumu Hanaoka, and the cadres of the weak electricity faction who knew the truth broke into a cold sweat every time Shibuya opened his mouth. Shibuya, however, was uncharacteristically good that day.Perhaps due to the fact that he was facing the light, his eyes that had been dull before were also shining brightly, which made people feel that he had returned to normal.He answered the announcer's brief questions exactly as a normal person would. Could it be healed?Shibuya's expression was so good that day that it almost made people feel delusional. "If that's the case, things will go well." Junichiro and Susumu Hanaoka's tense heartstrings began to relax, and they tended to be optimistic.

The questioners are all supporters and accomplices of bribery. What a surprise!Shibuya even offered to answer questions and answered them correctly. "Maybe he really recovered?" Hanaoka began to believe it.People from the strong electricity faction were sensitive to the rumors of "Shibuya's insanity" and came to the scene with suspicious eyes.Finally, because of Shibuya's calm and calm demeanor, he began to give up his doubts. People from the infiltrating rival company were also silent.TV is on.If you ask unreasonable questions and expose your identity, you will be embarrassed in public.The "Ryoden" subordinates sent by Iwamura have never found an opportunity to attack. Time passed relentlessly.The telecast ended shortly thereafter.The atmosphere in the venue was relaxed.The supporters boldly raised many high-level questions.Shibuya answered those questions fluently.Everyone believes that this meeting will definitely end victoriously. "Shibuya is back to health!" Susumu Hanaoka was sure.At the time of extreme danger, he recovered from his illness.Is this again the nature of technicians at work?His insanity, even if he told about his youth, could not be cured.But in front of MLT-3, he recovered his health easily. "I did something wrong. I shouldn't have accompanied this kid up the mountain. I should have shut him up in the research room." Although Hanaoka Jin couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, he regretted his carelessness. If Shibuya really recovers, there is one thing that must be dealt with quickly, and that is to immediately revoke the dismissal order for Deputy Manager Xingchuan and others.In order to issue the cancellation order, he made a look and called a confidant to him. At this moment, Shibuya suddenly made a strange movement.At first, none of the people present could figure out what Shibuya was going to do. Under the watchful eyes of the public, in front of the TV cameras broadcasting to the whole country, because Shibuya's actions were beyond people's imagination, people continued to watch calmly. To their uproar, Shibuya undid his belt and took off his trousers. Shibuya was wearing a black cloth suit on the upper body, and the snow-white underpants were exposed on the lower body.What a strange posture, continuing to do strange movements.The broadcaster was dumbfounded because it was so strange.In the vacuum of silence, only the TV cameras whirled mournfully.It's really live.This tidbit was truthfully shown in front of national TV audiences. Yeah, Shibuya has to take off his underpants. Susumu Hanaoka finally woke up from the shock and ran over. "Shibuya! What are you doing?" "What are you doing, the dung wants to come out." "manure?" "Shit, it's about to leak." The brilliance in Shibuya's eyes just now disappeared. His eyes were like dead fish, and the eyeballs were about to pop out, and he kept saying that he was going to have a bowel movement.There was finally unbearable laughter all around. "Shut down, shut down!" the director yelled. The lights went out.The natural light quickly increased the brightness and leaked in from the window.The laughter became louder and louder, and eventually it developed to the point of uncontrollable chaos. "crazy!" "Look, Shibuya Natsuo is crazy!" It is clear that the yelling comes from the people of the hostile company; however, there is no way to save it! "Shibuya's illness is still not cured!" Susumu Hanaoka bit his lip and blood came out.He found that the chaos in front of him was surprisingly similar to the chaos when he personally failed the public experiment of "Star Electric Research"'s MLT-3 in the Nagoya Hotel a year and a half ago.
