On the afternoon of July 15, Du Qiu, contrary to his previous pursuit of simplicity, dragged his bags of luggage and left the United States from San Francisco Airport. After more than 9 hours of flight, he arrived at Tokyo Narita International Airport and prepared to transfer from here to return to Beijing, and sign the publication contract for "White Night Travel".

It was not Du Qiu's creation on the Internet, but there were almost no works as high as "White Night Walk". He stopped serializing after he went to the United States in early June. But the more he did, the more he could not stop. During the month of the suspension of the update, there were more and more discussions about this novel on the Japanese Internet, and it spread to traditional media fields such as newspapers and magazines.

In 1995, computer and Internet fees were relatively expensive, and the threshold for netizens was relatively high. Most of them belonged to the elite class of society. Although the number was far less than that of 2O16 years, the social impact was not small. In addition, Du Qiu himself was also well-known, so when Aiko Komatsu helped contact publishing, she quickly received invitations from several publishing houses.

After reading the list, Du Qiu chose Shueisha without much hesitation. One reason was that "White Night Walk" was published by this publisher before the time travel, and the other reason was that this publisher had many beautiful memories, and wanted to get some small gifts from them to satisfy their childhood dreams.

"Mr. Du, welcome to Tokyo."

"Aizi, when did you go back to Tokyo?"

"Just the day before yesterday." Du Qiu did not have a Japanese visa and was unable to enter the country, so he could only stay in the international transit area. After a few greetings, Aiko Komatsu introduced two editors from Shueisha to him and said, "This is senior editor Masashi Kawamura, and this is assistant Mai Takahashi."

"For the first time we met, please take care of me."

Masashi Kawamura is an old man in his 50s. Mai Takahashi is a woman about the age of age. She looks ordinary, wears glasses, looks taciturn, holding a rectangular box the size of a sketch board. After Du Qiu greeted them, he asked straight to the point: "Is the thing in this box mine?"

"Yes, please check out Mr. Du. Mai, take it out quickly."

Mai Takahashi placed the box flat on the seat in the seat in the lounge area. After opening it, she took out an exquisite comic poster, held the corners with both hands, and showed it to Du Qiu. The poster was painted with five men in red basketball uniforms, with the words "slam-dunk" written in a black signature pen and "Yuhiko Inoue July 3, 1995" written in the lower right corner.

In 1995, "Slam Dunk" was still serialized, and it is the most popular anime work in Japan. Of course, it is also one of Du Qiu's favorite anime works. After he carefully admired it for a while, he said, "Mr. Kawamura, please express your gratitude to Mr. Inoue for me."

"Hi, I'll do it."

After Mai Takahashi showed the poster of "Slam Dunk", she took out several comic posters signed by the author from the box, including "Dragon Ball" by Toriyama, "City Hunter" by Hojo, "Saint Seiya" by Masami Tada, "Jojo's Wonderful Adventures" by Hirohiko Araki, "Yohiko's "Yuyu Shiraki" by Yoshihiko Tomiya, "Cherry Maruko" by Miura and "Saint Moon" by Naoko Takeuchi.

All of these comics are published by Shueisha, so it is not difficult to get the author's signature poster, but the last one that Takahashi Mai took out was a bit interesting because it was the poster of Ryomari signed by Sadamoto Yoshiko, from "Evangelion" which started serializing in February 1995. The publisher of this comic is Shueisha's rival Kakugawa Bookstore.

"I like it very much, please trouble Mr. Kawamura." Du Qiu stared at Ling Boli for a while, signaled Mai Takahashi to put away the poster, then took out the contract from her backpack, and said, "Let's sign the contract now."

Du Qiu has already consulted a lawyer in the United States for review. Just sign and exchange texts. Seeing that he is so happy, Masashi Kawamura was very excited after getting the contract. He smiled and said, "Mr. Du, the society has a good relationship with some media. For the promotion of the new book, can we do an interview? Many readers are about your previous experience in Japan..."

"Mr. Kawamura, I am very busy and tired now and need a rest." Du Qiu refused and directly expelled the guest: "If there is nothing else, please come back."

Masashi Kawamura unexpectedly changed his face and stammered for a few more times. He wanted to persuade him again. Seeing Aiko Komatsu shook her head slightly, she stood up and handed the box containing the poster to Du Qiu with both hands, and then said goodbye with her assistant.

"I heard that editors in the Japanese literary and artistic circles have great power and are not very friendly to new authors, but Mr. Kawamura is very humble." Du Qiu noticed the eye contact just now and said in Chinese: "Shueisha specially invited you from Beijing to Tokyo to greet me, which is really flattered."

"Mr. Du's "White Night Walk" is so well written that there is almost no need to change a punctuation. He is not an ordinary new author. Of course, Mr. Kawamura should be humble, otherwise he would be scolded to death by his boss." Aiko Komatsu took out a plane ticket from her bag and explained with a smile: "I have a good friend who got married yesterday and was going to attend her wedding, so I went back to Tokyo and had nothing to do with Shueisha. It just happened to be back to China today and was on the same flight as Mr. Du, so I helped introduce it."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Thank you." Aiko Komatsu often communicated with Du Qiu by email for a while and was no longer unfamiliar with her. She took out another magazine and said, "Mr. Du, there are several weekly magazines in Japan that have reported your deeds. Look, even "Weekly Wenchun" has it."

"Weekly Wenchun" is one of the largest gossip magazines in Japan. It is selling points to expose money scandals and sexual scandals of celebrities from all walks of life such as politics, economy, entertainment, etc. Du Qiu was a little curious and took it to take a look. When he saw the title, he laughed at the tech genius or criminal genius? The mysterious history of the 2o billionaire!

Damn, it's like "Detective Conan"...

"Detective Conan" seems to have been serialized in 1994? I forgot to ask for a Conan poster signed by Takamasa Aoyama...

"What does this 200 million mean?"

"Is Mr. Du a company worth 200,000 US dollars?" Aiko Komatsu seemed familiar with finance and said: "According to the current exchange rate, it is about 1.75 billion yen, but 200 million is easier."

Since the yen-USD exchange rate reached a peak of 79.75:1 on April 19, it depreciated in a slight fluctuation. It has now fallen to around 88:1. Du Qiu's funds in Morgan Stanley's account doubled, from 1.6 million US dollars to 30,000 US dollars. This is a real wealth that can be used at any time, and Snapdragon's valuation is just an imaginary number.

Du Qiu looked at the content of the article and found that the reporter gathered his interview on "Wire" and some plots in "White Night Walk", randomly speculating and sensationalism. In addition to making the facts more confusing, it was meaningless. So he also gave it to Aiko Komatsu and said with a smile: "It's well written."

Aiko Komatsu thought he would be angry, but she didn't expect that she was very relaxed and asked with a gossip on her face: "Are these speculations true?"

"Of course it's true, I'll tell you a secret." Du Qiu worked hard in the United States for a month and was in leisure time. He thought Aiko Komatsu's exaggerated expression was very interesting, so he leaned over and whispered: "After killing people, eat them, you can master the skills of these people. "White Night Walk" was written by me after eating a writer."

After he finished speaking, he moved his upper and lower jaws, making his teeth clatter. Aiko Komatsu was frightened and was frightened. She held the magazine to protect her chest, shrank back, and complained: "Hate! Mr. Du, you are so scary."

Du Qiu laughed, spread his hands flat, held the back of the bench, stretched his legs forward, and said in a very relaxed position: "Love son, you are so cute."

"Really? Thank you."

"That would be great if you weren't a spy."

"Mr. Du, I am really not a spy." Aiko Komatsu sat upright, raised her voice, and clarified seriously: "As a descendant of Komatsu with a knife, I will never be a spy!"

Oh, this girl is quite a big deal...

Komatsu with a knife is one of the famous "Ten Restoration Masters" in the Meiji Restoration Era in Japan. He has a prominent family background and outstanding talent. However, he died young and died in three years. He was unable to survive until the era of taking over power. Therefore, he was called the "illusory prime minister" by later generations.

When Du Qiu went to Japan to be an exchange student before traveling through time, a series called "Atsuhide Hime" was hit. Atsuhide Hime is the wife of the last general of the Tokugawa Shogunate. She has a childhood sweetheart with Komatsu and has ambiguous relationships, so there are many plots in the TV series, so I know such a person.

"So, Chang Panxuan is your property?"

"Huh?" Aiko Komatsu widened her eyes and said in surprise and joy: "Mr. Du, do you actually know about Chang Panxuan?"

"As anyone who has lived in Tokyo, such a famous snack bar, should know about it." Du Qiu bounced his finger and said, "Your family's annual turnover is about 200 million yen, right?"

"You, you..." Aiko Komatsu was even more surprised and pointed at him and said, "Mr. Du, you said I am a spy, I think you are a spy!"

It’s not like a spy, but in 20 years, all information on the Internet can be found...

After Komatsu died with a knife, his son was named Earl by Emperor Meiji, and his grandson was also Earl. He was very active in economics. In 1922, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Japan Railway Construction Exhibition to establish a food company and sell bentoes on the platform. The company was called Toshipanxuan. It still existed in 2016, operating a chain snack bar and an izakaya, with an annual turnover of over 100 million yen.

But don't think that selling bento in Japan is easy to make money. Komatsu's grandson with a knife has no children, so he adopted a son as an adopted son from the Japanese Navy Minister and the title of Marquis Saigo. He has two famous political families as his backing. It is difficult to fail to understand...
