Tao Liangchen

Chapter 748 Fan Club

He spent a night at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

News of his stay somehow leaked out, and the next day a large group of female fans, holding signs and banners, gathered in front of the hotel.

They shouted like cheerleaders, hoping to see Su Yehao. There were three or four hundred of them in total, and the number kept growing, successfully attracting the attention of the press vans.

It seemed the media reports about his large fan base in Japan weren't just empty talk.

Japanese girls are even more enthusiastic than their Korean counterparts when it comes to admiring strong and handsome men.

Since word had spread that *Boys Over Flowers* was based on Su Yehao, fans of this sensational idol drama that had taken Japan by storm naturally cast him in the role of Dao Ming Si, the domineering CEO.

The highest single-episode viewership rating for *Boys Over Flowers* in Japan had broken the record with 52.3%, even surpassing the record set by Takuya Kimura.

In addition, Takuya Kimura's sudden marriage to a female singer led many female fans to transfer their affections to Su Yehao.

Why waste time chasing characters in dramas when they could directly adore a young, handsome billionaire worth over ten billion U.S. dollars? Wouldn't that be much more appealing?

Because of the incident earlier in the month,

Although some fans had become neutral observers, the media's intensive coverage, which included many flattering photos of Su Yehao, had actually led to a massive increase in the number of members in his fan discussion groups.

Out of selfish motives, some people figured that since Su Yehao was so amorous, he might take a liking to them, so they tried every means possible to enter the hotel, hoping to create an opportunity to run into him.

Among them were quite a few young ladies with powerful parents, as well as mysterious girls who directly contacted members of the hotel's board of directors.

In short,

Faced with this star-chasing spectacle, the hotel staff were truly amazed.

One receptionist remarked, "Is this the allure of being ranked eleventh on the global rich list? I remember when Bill Gates stayed at our hotel, he wasn't this popular."

Another female receptionist thought for a moment and replied pointedly, "Maybe it's because, although he's rich, he's not handsome enough, and he's also old?"

The hotel manager felt immense pressure and had no time for sightseeing.

Afraid that something might happen to Su Yehao in their hotel, he directly sealed off the floor where he was staying and personally went upstairs to inform him of the situation.

Upon learning that a group of fans had gathered downstairs,

Jiang Yu clicked her tongue. At first, she felt a little uncomfortable, but then she thought that this guy being so popular seemed to reflect well on her, which made her feel much better.

Nan Gongtian, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She specifically chose a formal outfit she had brought with her, wanting Su Yehao to look handsome today.

Su Yehao was speechless. Holding the clothes, he said, "It's below freezing in Tokyo today. Are you trying to freeze me to death? I'm not meeting with anyone on business. I can just take the car from the underground garage. Wearing a suit on a flight will be very uncomfortable."

"Absolutely not! Tokyo is very close to Hong Kong. Just bear with it. If you wear a down jacket, you'll look so tasteless and unstylish. Wouldn't your fans be very disappointed? They might start badmouthing you everywhere, which would be terrible."

The little girl compared two ties, chose the striped one that better matched the outfit, and continued,

"Also, the hotel manager said that reporters are here too. Take the opportunity to mention your plans to sell the fund. You'll even save on advertising costs. The Japanese market is quite large. Attracting more attention here will also benefit our Tianyu Entertainment. It's a good opportunity to promote the mythological film that's coming out in two months. We're looking for Japanese celebrities to help with the dubbing."

"...I guess what you said makes sense."

Su Yehao patiently changed his clothes. He didn't really care about fans or anything like that.

However, Nan Gongtian had always liked him to be in the limelight. It seemed the more successful her man was, the happier she became. This kind of mentality was probably like hiding a treasure at home and not being able to resist showing it off to others.

First, he arranged for security and a motorcade, and had the hotel contact the media to temporarily set up a small conference room.

After everything was ready,

Su Yehao appeared at the hotel entrance, waving with a bright smile.

Standing before him were hundreds of people, mostly young girls in their teens and twenties. They were all very excited when they saw him, calling him by his nickname "Taizi (Prince)" in Japanese.

No doubt, this was the nickname that had spread from Hong Kong.

Completely unable to understand what they were saying, except for the word "Su-san," which was easy to understand, Su Yehao smiled and said in English, "It's very cold today. You don't need to stay outside for me. Thank you for your support."

The hotel manager helped translate, shouting loudly in Japanese. Su Yehao then continued,

"However, this is a hotel, and it's not good to affect their business. In the future, I will use nesmroblog to post more on Weibo. You can communicate there. In two months, a movie I invested in, *The Myth*, will be released in Japan. I hope you will support it then. Thank you!"

After saying these words, Su Yehao immediately returned to the hotel and went to the conference room to meet with the media representatives.

Just as Nan Gongtian had said, the fund company was about to launch new products here, and *The Myth* also needed early promotion. Since the interview opportunity had presented itself, it wouldn't hurt to spend some time chatting briefly.

These media outlets weren't mainstream, large-scale media companies. They were overjoyed to have the opportunity to interview Su Yehao.

With no prior preparation, they could only ask questions like "What do you think of Tokyo?" and "Do you have any words for your fans?"

It wasn't until someone asked him what he was doing in Japan that Su Yehao went into full advertising mode, promoting everything he could, even the Funayuki Onsen Resort in Gunma Prefecture.

If he had said he was simply here for vacation, the reporters might have found it strange.

Su Yehao's explanation that he was here to launch and promote a new fund, on the other hand, made them suddenly realize that, given his status surpassing that of Japan's richest man, this was perfectly normal.

He spent half an hour completing the interview. If it weren't for the language barrier, it could have been done in ten minutes.

After finishing everything, most of the fans in front of the hotel had left, leaving only some hardcore fans who were still waiting in the cold wind, hoping to see Su Yehao one more time.

As soon as the interview was over, he left directly by car. Jiang Yu and the others were already waiting in the car, with the sunshades drawn.

......

He had previously promised to go to the Moutai distillery and celebrate the festival with the employees and give out bonuses.

Now, it seemed that he would have to break his promise.

Su Yehao decided to postpone it until before the Spring Festival and personally hand out the year-end bonuses to the employees.

In 2000, with the financial support of Su Yehao, the Moutai distillery's performance had soared, with sales increasing by more than 60% year-on-year. As the expansion and renovation of the factory gradually neared completion, it was expected that production capacity would be further released in the next few years.

The distillery was very understanding when they learned that Su Yehao was delayed by other matters.

They asked someone to relay that in order to celebrate the birth of his son, they had specially made a batch of commemorative wine, producing a total of eighty-eight bottles, which would be sent directly to Hong Kong...
