Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

"That's right, I'm sorry."

Tao Zhiming was a little confused.

Riddlers, speak clearly.

You are playing me right?

Sure enough, Takao Hirano looked at Tao Zhiming and sighed: "Indeed, if that kid Kenta is still around, he would probably be as good as Tao Jun."

Tao Zhiming looked at Ueda Masahiro suspiciously.

What do you mean?

Ueda Masahiro smiled relievedly: "It's all over. Tao Jun, Shana has an older brother named Kenta, but he encountered an unfortunate incident nine years ago. This is what the chairman said."

Only then did Tao Zhiming realize that Ueda Shana was not the only daughter.

Takao Hirano looked very regretful: "That kid Kenta has been smart, courageous, and polite since he was a child. If he is still there, the name of the Ueda family will definitely be passed on to him in the future and reach new heights."

Ueda Masahiro remained silent.

"But Tao Jun is also very good. Tao Jun, now in Nihong, you don't have any relatives anymore, right?"

Tao Zhiming didn't know why the topic turned to himself: "...Yes. Father and Mother also encountered misfortune before."

"It's a pity..." Takao Hirano looked at the two of them, and suddenly said hesitantly, "Ueda-san, even if you don't plan to have another child, but the name of the dignified Ueda family and the inheritance of Jingxin Akechi, I really want to Is it cut off in your hands? I have always suggested to you, even if you have a adopted son. I know your vision is high, but Tao Jun is good enough? I also like swordsmanship."

Tao Zhiming's heart moved, but he was stunned on the surface: "President Hirano... this..."

He looked at Ueda Masahiro, but the guy didn't respond, just remained silent there.

Is that what you two came up with?Want to be my dad directly?

"...Take the liberty, Mr. Tao." Hirano Takao then turned his gaze to him, "Of course, your will is the most important thing. I just offer a suggestion to Shangtian Sang as an old friend."

...Your suggestion is really fake.

"It surprised me..." Tao Zhiming's surprise was real, "I've never thought about foster sons..."

Hirano Takao smiled and said, "Since Tao Jun is alone, without the company of relatives, and without the help of his family, you can think about it. You grew up in Neon, and you should know about this situation. Many, everyone just wants to have the company of their relatives. Besides, the adopted son who has confirmed his name also has the right to inherit."

Tao Zhiming stared blankly at Ueda Masahiro, are you serious?

Masahiro Ueda bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your concern. This matter, not to mention Tao Jun's wishes, I also need to think carefully about it."

Takao Hirano showed special appreciation for Tao Zhiming: "Of course, of course. What I like most is that everyone is happy. You haven't known each other for a long time, but you are both men with admirable character. Tao Jun, don't mind me presumptuous."

"...How could it be?" Of course Tao Zhiming minded, you guys are much rougher than Beichuan Atsushi.

They just give it to girls, you want me to be your son.

Who gave you the courage?

But Tao Zhiming did not take it lightly, it seems that Takao Hirano's real plan is here.How can he be sure that he will be tempted?

Takao Hirano did not give him an answer, and said: "I am very happy to meet you tonight. But unfortunately, I have to go to another appointment now. Tao Jun, you can come to visit often in the future. Ueda-san's home, also You can go there often to learn more about it.”

"...Okay. President Hirano still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Tao Jun, since you came here by car, how about sending Ueda Sang home? You can continue chatting for a while."

"...Of course, it should be."

Ueda Masahiro stood up and bowed to Takao Hirano with an unceremonious appearance, and said goodbye with Tao Zhiming.

In front of the car, Irie Yuta was already waiting there.Tao Zhiming helped Ueda Masahiro open the car door and asked him to get in the car first.

"Let's go to Ueda-sama's house first." Tao Zhiming told Irie Yuta where he was, and then he looked at Ueda Masahiro and smiled, "Ueda-sama, I haven't heard Shana talk about my brother before. If there is any offense, please Your pardon."

Ueda Masahiro shook his head: "Usually, our family doesn't want to mention this matter too much."

"I'm sorry..." Tao Zhiming said with a troubled face, "But President Hirano's suggestion, I really didn't expect it... Master Ueda, what do you think?"

"Tao Jun, how much do you know about our Ueda family?" Ueda Masahiro asked without answering.

"I just know that it has been passed down from history to today. As a Chinese, I used to have a brilliant reputation in the way of swordsmanship. That's all..." Tao Zhiming said truthfully, "Oh, and also, you are the director of the Xia Guild Hall. I know that too."

Ueda Masahiro nodded: "With your ingenuity, you must be thinking now, what does the dignified chairman of Mitsubishi mean by making such a suggestion?"

"……really."

Ueda Masahiro brought up this topic himself, but did not answer for a while.

Tao Zhiming didn't know if it was because Irijiang Xiongtai was there, so he didn't ask anxiously.

Anyway, they are the ones who have ideas, not themselves.

After a while, Ueda Masahiro said: "You said you want to defeat Morijiro in an upright manner, have you started to act?"

"...That's right." Although he only told Sun Zhengyi the background of the Softwing, it was still a start to help him.

"Not now."

"……what?"

Masahiro Ueda turned to look at him: "As long as you want, the engagement between Shana and Morijiro can be cancelled."

Tao Zhiming's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"

"President Hirano's proposal, I think it's good." Ueda Masahiro said quietly, "If you think it's good too, Shana doesn't have to fulfill the marriage contract, and I can entrust her to you."

Tao Zhiming watched him without saying a word for a long time, and Ueda Masahiro's eyes were calm and unwavering.

After a while, Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly: "With your attitude, I dare not consider that suggestion, not to mention that I don't want to give up my surname at all."

"Do you think I use my children as weapons?" Masahiro Ueda did not shy away from it, and asked straightforwardly.

"Maybe I misunderstood." Tao Zhiming replied calmly.

"I really think that proposal is good." Masahiro Ueda withdrew his gaze and looked forward, "At least, Shana likes you, doesn't she? She will feel happy."

"Really? I don't believe it." Tao Zhiming smiled, "You must know that I already have another woman. Do you think Xia Na will really be happy?"

"It's just my experience when I was young." Ueda Masahiro said in a nonchalant tone, "The attitude is conveyed to you. Of course it depends on your will. If you want to know about our Ueda family, you have any questions to ask me, or practice swordsmanship , you can come home anytime.”

Tao Zhiming didn't understand very much: "I also expressed my attitude. Master Ueda, why did you have such a whimsical idea? With my identity and current position, you know my character, how could you accept this kind of suggestion? ?”

"The chairman made a suggestion, I expressed my attitude, and you also expressed my attitude. The matter is over." Ueda Masahiro looked at him calmly, "It's just a suggestion, isn't it?"

"..."

Old men, you managed to get my attention.

Tao Zhiming thought about it for a while and then chuckled: "Well, then I'm relieved. I almost thought that there was some other condition that I couldn't refuse."

"What other conditions are there? It seems that the name and legacy of the Ueda family, as well as Shana's future, are not enough to tempt you." Ueda Masahiro said quietly, "When you go home, you can tell Shana It's your decision. For her happiness, I also worked hard. I really have no choice but to continue to fulfill the agreement with the Mori family."

Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said, "This is your freedom. Ueda-sama, you choose to use your sword to hurt her, what can I do?"

After that, there was nothing to say all the way, and when he reached the door of his house, Ueda Masahiro said, "Come in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Tao Zhiming shook his head: "It's too late, I won't disturb your rest."

Ueda Masahiro nodded and walked towards the door.

Walking to the door, he stopped and didn't look back: "You must do what you say, Dalang. I will wait and see if you want to defeat Morijiro in an upright manner."

Tao Zhiming didn't answer, and when he saw him walk in the door, he turned and got into the car and muttered, something's wrong.

Ueda Masahiro was just about to write the words "I have special plans" on his face, but he still held this superior posture.

I really don't understand how he and Hirano Takao planned, but it doesn't matter.

The current situation cannot allow Tao Zhiming to step on two boats.

"They also want to give you a woman?" Yuta Irie asked cautiously while driving, "Is this Lord Ueda's daughter?"

"Submit to these people." Tao Zhiming waved his hand, "Leave them alone, go home quickly. He doesn't want to give away his daughter, but wants me to be his son-in-law. Do you think I look like someone who is willing to be a son-in-law or an adopted son?" ?”

"...Don't you have an inheritance? Ueda-sama, you should have a lot of inheritance."

"Xiongta, your thinking is very problematic! Am I the one who needs to inherit the inheritance? What's wrong with being a rich generation without restraint? Why call someone else's father?"

"...Ni Hong has a lot of adopted children." Irie Yuta explained, "I just think that compared to Hoshino Suzu, they seem to be less malicious. After all, marriage... can be regarded as a really close family."

"Yota! You used to be a yakuza! Don't study politics like others?"

Irie Yuta: Wronged.jpg.

Chapter 176, Mitsubishi's real purpose

What's wrong with calling Dad?My name is Suzuki-san too!

Irie Yuta thought in his heart, he should be in the car just now, didn't the boss say that?This Ueda-sama used to be a Chinese, and he was also the director of the Xia Club.

That's Chinese!

The old man said that they still hold a lot of land to this day.Besides, which consortium does not have a close relationship with the Chinese?

In Irie Yuta's view, compared to sending Hoshino Suzu, which even President Kinoshita found very tricky, Mitsubishi's proposal is much better.

Even if he has a closer relationship with Sumitomo now, once he becomes the son-in-law and adopted son of that Ueda-sama, his identity will of course be different.

But since Tao Zhiming had ridiculed him, Irijiang Xiongtai kept it all in his stomach.

……

"What did you say? Father?"

Hearing Minoru Mori's understatement, Morijiro was furious.

"Gass!" Sen Minoru frowned and said sharply, "Sit down!"

Morijiro's fists were creaking, but he still stood: "This is a humiliation to me!"

"I said, sit down!" Mori Minoru couldn't help but squinted his eyes, his tone was already on the verge of getting angry.

Morijiro sat down angrily: "Why sacrifice our interests in order to get what he has!"

He didn't say humiliation this time, and replaced it with the words "our interests".

Mori Minoru's face softened a little, and he even nodded: "This is the correct way of thinking. Why sacrifice our interests? It is because although my father has laid a good foundation for our family, we still have to Not strong enough, not solid enough. Jiro, do you think it was Ueda-kun who initiated the marriage contract?"

"...Isn't it?" Morijiro was a little emotional, "I have known Shana since we were young, and Ueda-sama also recognizes me."

"...Silly boy." Mori Minoru sighed, "Shang Tian-jun's relationship with other Chinese people and many important figures, the reputation of the Shang Tian family and the appearance of Shana, why should we have such a chance for our new family? Then It was father who fought for the future of the family from President Hirano. Now President Hirano has a new idea. The interests of our Mori family are not sacrificed. In the whole plan, we have what we deserve exchange."

"What about me?" Morijiro didn't seem to listen at all, "What about my marriage contract with Shana?"

"Just to warn you, this is also the beginning of getting you involved in important family affairs!" Mori Minoru frowned, "How much do you like Shana? Do you think I don't understand? If you want a woman, where can't you? My own ability , Status is what matters!"

"But……"

"Besides, this is just a strategy. That Tao Dalang has a close relationship with Sumitomo now, so he may not necessarily agree to Chairman Hirano's proposal."

Morijiro was worried: "Why wouldn't he agree? The identity of the adopted son-in-law of the dignified Chinese is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than his status as a naturalized citizen? Moreover, this is the suggestion put forward by President Hirano. Mitsubishi is no better than him. Sumitomo is poor. I am sure that he must know that Sumitomo is just using him as a pawn. To become the son-in-law and adopted son of Ueda-sama is to truly join the upper class of Neon. Only a fool will not agree! Besides..."

Besides, Shana was so good-looking, Morijiro gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

Minoru Mori said calmly: "No, although Ueda-kun can't resist President Hirano's request for the time being, he doesn't really want to accept him as a foster son."

"Really?" Morijiro was surprised.

"Of course. Compared with a naturalized citizen with no roots, our Mori Group is stronger after all. When Mr. Ueda grows old, the legacy and influence he left behind is just a son-in-law and adopted son with no relatives and no reason. Maybe you can keep it? On the contrary, if it is you, although changing the surname Ueda in the future will not change the fact that the assets of the Ueda family will be inherited by the descendants of our Mori family, the name of the Ueda family will still be preserved, and the blood of the Ueda family will still exist. half."

"So that's how it is..." Morijiro asked quickly, "But since it's President Hirano's suggestion, and Ueda-sama has no way to resist it, then..."

"So I'm telling you this, and I'm asking you to take action." Minoru Mori said seriously, "It's inconvenient for Ueda-sama to refuse explicitly, and my father and I can't directly destroy the entire Mitsubishi plan, but your identities are different. You and Shana has a marriage contract, you have enough reasons to make a move!"

Morijiro's blood was boiling: "Leave it to me! I will make him regret it!"

I heard that that guy was Shana's classmate before, so I thought it was bad.

Unexpectedly, President Hirano still wants to win him over.Needless to say, aside from having the right to speak about the land, that guy's conversation and abilities... are not bad either.

However, since he has the support of his father, grandfather, and Ueda-sama this time, he must be completely trampled down!

Mori Minoru nodded: "Last time, Ueda-kun asked you to be friends with that Tao Dalang, what did you say, remember?"

"...Let me learn more from that Tao Dalang!" How could Morijiro forget?

"Do you understand the meaning? If he is willing to accept Tao Dalang, why not let him become friends with you and have a good relationship with our Mori Group? Mr. Ueda is tactfully expressing his intentions to Mr. Suga and Mr. Hirano. Attitude. So, let’s go and do it! Didn’t he register a few clubs? It put him in a difficult business, and he will also have to borrow 100 billion yen from Mitsubishi. Every year, he has to pay 6.5 million yen in interest.”

"As long as his own business is in trouble, he will seek help from others at that time. Sumitomo, who has already occupied a favorable position, will offer him harsher exchange terms than Mitsubishi. The private reform of the national railway will start soon. Whether it’s Sumitomo or Mogami Hengsan, every large amount of money is useful. In short, the more trouble he gets into, the more my father can suggest that President Hirano use other methods to achieve his goal.”

Morijiro was a little unsure: "But if he can use the principal of 100 billion yen..."
