Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Ueno Yosuke immediately shut up, because Tao Zhiming's state has completely changed.From being very relaxed just now, to a very concentrated state.

After seeing Tao Zhiming's eyes and gestures, although he was very curious, he still nodded, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

"It's alright, President Hirano, excuse me."

"...Tao Jun, I didn't expect that a well-meaning proposal at the beginning would turn things into what they are now." Takao Hirano's tone was very emotional, and then his voice became a little lower, "But the situation has been brought to the present level, Tao Jun in the end What do you think? What do you think Kinoshita-kun?"

Tao Zhiming was silent for a second or two, and then said: "President Hirano, I am really grateful for your original proposal. But because of the influence brought by Morijiro, I have to make this gesture now."

"Including getting more and more attention to the incident? Including keeping those ads there?"

"...Sorry. You can probably understand that this is intentional. Next, Mogami Hengsan will use this influence to stand up and call for the establishment of the trust charity fund, and then propose to hand over half of the funds to me. Helping families who have had to buy new real estate in the Great Renovation of Tokyo."

"...Everything is planned." Hirano Takao sighed, "Then what about the other parts in the next step?"

Tao Zhiming stood up, the wound only hurt a little.

He looked out the window and said: "The situation is actually very clear now, isn't it? This is a show. And I, an actor who had to be pushed to the front of the stage. Including Mr. Ueda's sword today, I can only do it." Take a bet, Ueda-sama won't seriously injure me in full view. President Hirano, with all due respect, I am grateful to you. But to the Mori family who forced me into this situation, Especially Morijiro, I'm already full of anger."

Takao Hirano didn't speak for a moment.

Tao Zhiming continued: "Right now, I have been shaped into a certain image. In the next step, President Beichuan may stand up at any time and say that his granddaughter is very envious of my deeds. Although it is shameful, and it is only next year A girl who is only 16 years old, but I want to express the openness of Sumitomo’s concept. In order to maintain my image, I can only continue to challenge Mr. Ueda, alas! Then, naturally, as agreed at the beginning, Sumitomo Real Estate I will also stand up and participate in the trust charitable fund to use the influence of this incident to restore and enhance the reputation."

"...It is indeed Tao Jun's hard work, and we must take a risk to do this step." Takao Hirano's tone was very complicated, "In short, is it to put the Mori Group and the Ueda family in a disadvantageous image?"

"Please believe me, from my personal point of view, why would I want to establish such a powerful enemy?" Tao Zhiming's voice was very low, and his tone was very helpless.

But Takao Hirano smiled: "Tao Jun, be so frank with me, don't worry about what you said being known by the public, it turns out that you are not doing these things in an upright manner, and your image has completely collapsed?"

Tao Zhiming looked out the window quietly, and said calmly: "It involves the secret cooperation between Mitsubishi and Sumitomo on the reform of the national railway. Chairman, do you want to use this method to solve the situation at hand?"

"It's just a joke, of course it doesn't end here." Takao Hirano paused before saying, "I just want to know that since the cooperation between the two parties is still the main direction, then this matter will eventually subside. How are you going to calm down?"

Tao Zhiming's eyes flashed brightly, and he said seriously: "In short, because of the close relationship that Mogami Hengsan and Sumitomo have established, I have to continue to act as an actor, acting against Mitsubishi. In fact, this will also dilute Sen The participation of the group and other real estate companies under Mitsubishi in trust charitable funds has brought suspicion to other consortiums. So this incident may not be completely quelled, but it can be controlled."

"Please speak your mind."

"The Mori family needs to do three things if they want to eliminate the negative impact of this incident. The first thing is to publicly announce their abandonment of the old marriage contract with the Ueda family. The second thing is to encourage Mori Jiro and me to negotiate a business relationship with the Ueda family. Carry out an upright competition. But the three things are to invest more in the trust charitable fund, find ways to reverse the negative image, and use the positive impact it brings like Mogami Hengsan.”

"……The others?"

"The villain can only be played by Ueda-sama and I. I need to stand in the front and continue to play the role of competing with the Mori family and opposing Mitsubishi in front of those who know the real relationship between me, Mogami Tsunesan and Sumitomo. In this case , The image that has been established can only be maintained in this way. Then, please Ueda-sama, please feel wronged and continue to play the role of being humiliated and hating me because of the damage to the family's reputation and being publicly announced by the Mori family to renounce the marriage contract?"

"Of course, Brother Xiufeng and I are very grateful for President Hirano's previous proposal. With my persistent pursuit of Miss Ueda, at a more appropriate moment, Ueda-sama will reveal the final The heart that was moved by me, right? Before that, of course, he kept beating me, but it was a bit scary that he couldn’t use a real knife anymore.”

At the end of his talk, it seemed that Tao Dalang was put on fire because of unavoidable difficulties.

This is indeed in line with the judgments of Takao Hirano and Taikichiro Mori.

Takao Hirano asked again: "Is this also President Kinoshita's opinion?"

"Yes, you can arrange someone to ask him for verification. In fact, because of this matter, Sumitomo also requested a higher shareholding ratio in Mogami Hengsan. Brother Xiufeng is very depressed."

"...I understand. So, in addition to standing up to compete with Morijiro, and competing with the Mori Group through Mogami Hengsan, you also need to continue to challenge the Ueda family?"

Tao Zhiming sighed: "Yes. But, President Mori, please rest assured that only in the competition with Mori Jiro, I must win. Because you also know that I must find a way to guarantee the return of the 20 billion yen investment. Participating in the competition between Mogami Gokurakucho and Roppongi Hills is actually beneficial to both parties. After all, we will make the real estate projects of other consortiums look inferior, which is beneficial to both companies in the national railway reform. As for continuing to challenge Ueda My lord, it's also for your proposal, so there is a foreshadowing in the future, isn't it?"

"The problem is that after this incident, Ueda-kun once wanted you to be his son-in-law and adopted son. The fact that Mitsubishi has good cooperation with you and Kinoshita-kun has been known by Sumitomo. Your continuous challenges will not let Sumitomo Do you have any other doubts?"

Tao Zhiming smiled wryly and said: "Master Chairman, the final integration of Sumitomo and Mogami Hengsan has not been completed after all. We are forced to make such an open confrontation, and we are really dissatisfied. The drama that was originally a challenge was made in the Mori family. It can be over after I respond, but as the least important person who rushes to the forefront, I can run away. After all, I have received so much attention, I can also shirk and say that I can’t come down. As for why not Let Sumitomo have additional doubts, then the only way to make Ueda-sama be more ruthless. Of course, you can no longer use real knives, it's terrible!"

Takao Hirano couldn't help laughing, and smiled helplessly: "This is really... So, as long as the Mori family can do those three things, these advertisements can be withdrawn now, and the follow-up situation will be controlled by you and Mori Jiro competing for Xana's child In this category?"

"Yes. Lord Ueda has already put a lot of pressure on me today. If the media still pays so much attention, I am afraid that the matter of Takeda Manufacturing and many other secrets about the two parties may be dug out, or even by others. The opponent took the initiative to break the news."

"I understand your position. Excuse me, then. How is Tao Jun's injury?"

"...Thank you, Chairman, for your concern. I can only say that Ueda-sama's swordsmanship is so exquisite that it is unimaginable. There is a lot of blood loss, but it didn't hurt the root. So I really can't use a real sword later!"

Hearing that Tao Zhiming was a little scared, Takao Hirano also put down the phone a little funny.

Then, he put away his smile and looked at the two of them, especially Mori Taikichiro: "Mori-kun, you heard it all, do you need me to confirm with Kinoshita Hidekaze?"

Mori Taikichiro shook his head, looked at Ueda Masahiro, and said: "There is nothing to blame, it is indeed because of the incident caused by that child Jiro. The marriage contract with the Ueda family, if Tao Dalang agreed, he also needs to give up. Regarding the competition between Jiro and him, I said that my Mori family encouraged me, which is impeccable. The Trust Charity Fund originally wanted to participate, but now, it is necessary to invest more and reverse the image from the crisis. Then, just Before he officially became the son-in-law of the Ueda family, he can publicly announce that his engagement with the Ueda family has been terminated."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Takao Hirano.

As the situation develops further, no one knows whether Sumitomo has other means, and whether the Mitsui consortium will use this incident to attack Mitsubishi. Takao Hirano does not want to see that kind of situation.

It can only be said that Takao Hirano wanted to provoke the relationship between Sumitomo and Mogami Tsunesan when he originally chose to tell him about it immediately.

It can also be seen from this that the importance of the land currently held by Mogami Hengsan to Sumitomo.

What asked for more shares, of course, was just Tao Dalang's statement, and Sumitomo must have exchanged more benefits with Kinoshita Hidekaze, and then asked him to make such a gesture.

Let's see now, whether Takao Hirano has any other compensation for the trick he got out of, besides the benefits he promised to exchange to the Mori Group.

Takao Hirano thought for a while and said: "In this case, let's control the matter within the scope of Tao Dalang and Jiro's competition for Shana's child. If Mogami Tsunesan still cannot compete for it in the future, then Ueda-kun can also choose the past agreement, isn't it? ?"

He looked at Masahiro Ueda.

"What Hirano-kun means..." Ueda Masahiro stared at him, "I promised to give up the agreement with Mori-san before, so it's not fulfilling my promise to Iwasaki-sama?"

Takao Hirano bowed his head: "I'm sorry! But Ueda-san, he gave up the agreement with Morisang. If Tao Dalang fails to become your son-in-law and adoptive son, and Mogami Hengsan is not won over to Mitsubishi, we will get nothing."

Ueda Masahiro nodded with a calm expression: "I understand, let's see how long he can challenge. Although he doesn't need a real sword, if he really retreats in spite of the difficulties, he can no longer restrain me."

Takao Hirano laughed: "Of course. But what Kinoshita Hidekaze and Tao Dalang lack most is a noble family. They should be very resilient."

Masahiro Ueda nodded to Mori Taikichiro: "Sen Sang, you understand my intentions. Don't have to worry about that, thinking that I need a son-in-law who is not so good. Please restrain and educate Jiro, let him be here Win the duel! Shana's opinion is not important, the name of the Ueda family must be passed on!"

"I understand!" Mori Taikichiro nodded heavily.

Takao Hirano smiled without saying a word.

Regardless of whether it is Mori or Mogami Hengsan, in short, as long as it is beneficial to Mitsubishi.

Chapter 207, Da Lang, it's time to drink medicine

"Has Masahiro Ueda gone back?"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Takao Hirano said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Iwasaki. Judging from today's situation, he still wants to reach an alliance with the Mori family. If he wants to break up this agreement between them, then We must find a way to make Tao Dalang become his son-in-law and adopted son, and hold Hideka Kinoshita and him in his hands."

"If this goal can be achieved, then it is acceptable to regard his promise to our Iwasaki family as being fulfilled." The voice on the phone was very relaxed and lazy, "The only thing we need to worry about now is whether Tao Dalang's statement Credible. Although you have confirmed it to Hidekaze Kinoshita, all this may be a plan that Sumitomo already knows about.”

"I've already considered this, Master Iwasaki." Hirano Takao said confidently, "Now we have used their reaction to force the Mori family to give up their engagement with the Ueda family. This is enough, and the next step is to continue Promoting our cooperation with Sumitomo. As long as the matter progresses to the stage where the two sides become mutual shareholders of Mori Group and Mogami Hengsan, then not only the Mori family will have to continue to rely on us Mitsubishi, but we will also have a certain say in Mogami Hengsan. Even the current Hidekaze Kinoshita With Tao Dalang's action this time, Sumitomo is fully aware of the purpose, and that doesn't matter."

"Does it mean that everyone's purpose is the same?" Patriarch Iwasaki laughed, "However, their restraint on Hidekaze Kinoshita is not at the same level as our relationship with the Mori family. Besides, everyone's philosophy It’s different. Sumitomo pursues an absolute order like the royal family, and we don’t use that. The relationship of interests is so profound. For the ambitious Mori Taikichiro, Mitsubishi is the best backer. I hope that this time, let He can realize this more clearly. He wants to take advantage of the fame and circle of the Ueda family to take a step forward, but he seems to have forgotten whose help Ueda Masahiro became the director of the Kasumi Club."

Takao Hirano said with admiration: "I think he already understands. So he didn't refuse the proposal to publicly announce the abandonment of the engagement, and he didn't object to me not offering any other compensation. Speaking of which, that Kinoshita Hidekaze also It's not easy. Knowing that we want to win them over, we want us to hit the Mori family first. In this way, if he really wants to invest in Mitsubishi in the future, he will use the rift between the Mori family and us to make greater maneuvers space."

"It's a good thing that he's a smart guy." Patriarch Iwasaki said nonchalantly, "However, both Mori Taikichiro and Kinoshita Hidekaze have always lacked family fame and roots, and this is their absolute weakness. This matter That's it, let's do it."

"Yes!" After Hirano Takao responded, he said hesitantly, "But in the past two years, Ueda-kun has shown more and more emotional dissatisfaction with our requirements. His promise to you is really worth it. With gratitude?"

"You don't need to ask this question, Takao." Patriarch Iwasaki said lazily, "You are one of the people I trust the most, please be frank."

"...I understand." Hirano Takao became serious, "I'm worried, what happened back then, after all, you asked him to expel the eldest son from the house and accept the adopted son-in-law of the Iwasaki family, and finally let his unclear eldest son suddenly Apologize and protect my sister. If you say that Ueda-kun will not hold this matter to heart, I dare not believe it."

"It's normal." Patriarch Iwasaki didn't mean to worry about this at all, "I know he has resentment. However, although Ueda Masahiro is not the smartest among the patriarchs, he still has the most basic sense. His child was rescued, so it is normal to make a request. What's more, with the help of his son, the opinions of other families are also the same. After all, only male patriarchs can continue to be in the Liexia Guild Hall. In the future, accepting sons-in-law and adopted sons from other families is better than accepting my Iwasaki family. You know, I was the only one who rescued Kenta from my Iwasaki family. At the beginning, this was also the condition he agreed to. A dignified man, it’s okay to go back on your promise It's just too outrageous."

"In this case, why did he come together with the Mori family later..."

"That's because his son died." The head of the Iwasaki family was also a little annoyed, "Although he is a stupid young man, as long as he is still alive, after he is kicked out of the house, he will come to my Iwasaki family to be a son-in-law. Ueda Masahiro can accept it Such a situation. But he cut through his belly! The Ueda family only has one daughter, and that guy Ueda Masahiro is not willing to have a son. In this case, if he accepts my son-in-law from the Iwasaki family, the Ueda family will be completely controlled by the Iwasaki family. He didn't want to see this situation, so he chose to go with the weaker Sen family."

Takao Hirano is still confirming: "Ueda-kun, you won't choose the most thorough betrayal because of the resentment towards you in your heart?"

"How is it possible?" Patriarch Iwasaki laughed, "How much has he done for me over the years? If he wanted to completely betray him, he would have betrayed him long ago. Don't worry, in his heart, the inheritance of the Ueda family is still the one that persists. What's more, if he wanted to betray, his son had joined the Red Army, and if all the things he did for me were revealed and made known to the world like this time, then no family would be able to It’s still a secret to save the status of the Ueda family.”

Takao Hirano was shocked, and said respectfully: "I understand. Then, we will follow the original plan!"

"You did a good job this time, Takao. If this year's plan can be realized smoothly, not only will you continue to serve as the chairman, but Takegami-san also promised me that your son will enter the cabinet."

Takao Hirano beamed with joy: "Yes! I will definitely do my best!"

……

"What?" Morijiro was dizzy, "Publicly declare, renouncing the engagement?"

Minoru Mori's face was also ugly, and he sat on the sofa and kept silent.

Sen Taijiro frowned and scolded: "When will you learn to be calm and calm!"

Morijiro sat down slowly with his eyes glazed over.

"Father." Minoru Mori said in a deep voice, "So, the marriage between our Mori family and the Ueda family cannot be realized?"

Taijiro Mori looked deeply: "Before, I was wrong in my judgment. Chairman Hirano told me this information, not only hoped that I would spread this matter, destroy the relationship between Sumitomo and Mogami Hengsan, and eventually allow Mitsubishi to control us. The Mori family and the Ueda family can still master a new force. They also have another purpose, which is to destroy the union between our Mori family and the Ueda family. Compared with those who can only rely on the accumulation of their ancestors to make achievements, Our Sen family is too good. This incident is a warning from them to our Sen family!"

Minoru Mori was shocked: "You mean, it's within their calculations that things have evolved to this point?"

Mori Taijiro shook his head: "Kinoshita Hidekaze and Tao Dalang's move must have been beyond their expectations. However, if it goes well, whether it is in public or in private, it will definitely be proposed if our Mori family formally abandons the engagement first." The request to come out. It was just a statement at the time that we waited for the decision of Kinoshita Hidekaze and Tao Dalang. Now, we have publicly announced that we are giving up the engagement, and even if Mogami Tsunesan is not won over, our marriage with the Ueda family will be destroyed."

He said a little gloomyly: "Although Ueda-kun expressed the attitude that he wants me to train Jiro well and that Shana's opinion is not important, President Hirano didn't respond at all. The Iwasaki family's restraint on the Ueda family is still in place. If you want to accept Jiro again, you will definitely be asked to give up."

"How could this be..." Morijiro sat there distraught.

"Jiro!" Taikichiro Mori yelled angrily, "At this point, we can only act according to the situation! The marriage contract is abandoned! It just means that the elders' rule of your marriage has been abandoned! But Tao Dalang has declared war openly , if you can let Xia Na accept you in a dignified manner. With so many people's attention, if your marriage comes from the two of you, who can stand up and interfere?"

"It can't be done..." Morijiro shook his head in frustration, "Didn't you watch the news? Shana...she cares so much about that kid..."

"Jiro!" Mori Taikichiro roared angrily, "Ueda-kun hopes to adopt you as his son-in-law! With his help and the help of the family, don't you have confidence? Cheer up! It's not you anymore It's a family matter!"

Hearing his grandfather's words, Morijiro had a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Then... what should I do?"

Mori Taijiro looked at Mori Minoru and said: "Although I know that kid wants to make the momentum a little bigger, let us Mori family encourage Jiro to have an upright duel with him in business. Then, as he wishes! Jiro , whether it’s in Shana’s affairs or in business, you can’t fail anymore!”

"I... I understand!" Morijiro finally showed some morale.

If the family will fully support him, and Ueda-sama is also inclined to him, then he is indeed much more confident!

Three generations of a family began to conspire...

……

When Tao Zhiming woke up, he heard a small conversation at the door.

It turned out to be Yamane Yokohisa and Ueda Shina.

"...Are there a lot of people coming to watch the fun?" Ueda Shina's voice was annoyed.

"Yeah." Yamane Yokohisa said, "Because he was seen when he entered the school, so many people ran over... What about these gifts?"

"...Let him decide for himself." Ueda Shana hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Is...are there more girls?"

Yamane Hengjiu's voice was silent for a while, and he still said: "Yes, but I didn't see him. I said he was recuperating, and I didn't let them enter the Kendo club."

"This guy!" Ueda Shana muttered helplessly, and asked again, "How's his injury...how is it? Does he have a fever?"

"...Miss Ueda, you are getting so much attention now, is it really okay to come to school? If Ueda-sama finds out..."

"It's okay, I slipped out while my father was out, so no one will recognize me!"

Tao Zhiming was amused, Yamane Heng didn't speak for a long time, he must have shouted in his heart, "I didn't mean that!"

"...I don't think there's anything wrong with him. He talked to Yosuke Uedo and me for a long time before going to bed. But he has been waiting here, the members recognize you! Go wait in the activity room first."

Tao Zhiming was quite curious, coughed and said, "Who is outside?"

"...Get up and open the door." Yamane Yokohisa knocked on the door and said.

Tao Zhiming kept his upper body moving, slowly got out of bed, then walked over and opened the door.

"Who are you?"

"Crap!"

Ueda Shina went straight through the door.

Tao Zhiming held back his laughter, after all, he was still injured.He looked at Yamane Yokohisa, and this guy said with a very painful face, "I'm going to organize member activities!"

Seeing his back going away silently, Tao Zhiming closed the door with a smile, then turned around and asked, "Could it be that you came to school dressed like this?"

Ueda Shana is a full set of kendo protective gear, on this hot day...

"It's not all because of you!" Ueda Shana said angrily after taking off the protective gear on his head, his hair was wet with sweat.

After sighing, she asked again: "Have you been to... the hospital?"

"Of course I did." Tao Zhiming walked over slowly and sat on the chair.

Seeing his cautious and slow appearance, Ueda Shana asked hesitantly: "...does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Tao Zhiming grinned, "I'm sorry, because you and your aunt's reaction have to be more realistic, so I didn't tell you in advance."

"Aren't you afraid?"
