Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

"Exactly. I guess I was right. You know the address, don't you?"

"...Okay. Now?"

"Yes, I'll wait for you."

Tao Zhiming hung up the phone, took a deep breath, then turned around and said with a smile: "A friend knew that I came to Setagaya, so he asked me to meet in the past now. Uncle, I can only take one handicraft from you. gone."

"Thank you Tao Jun for your affirmation. Whichever one you think is suitable, just take it."

Tao Zhiming smiled: "I'm a distinguished friend this time, take the most expensive one. Just give me the market price."

It was only then that Ueno Yosuke felt that he might not have come to his home suddenly on a whim.

"Dalang, it's not dangerous to go out so late, right?" Uedo Yosuke, who was delivered to the door, couldn't help asking, feeling that his expression was too serious when he answered the phone just now.

"Don't worry, it's just a friend. Open the door for me when I come back."

Although Tao Zhiming said so, he still made a phone call after getting in the car: "Xiong Tai, what may have happened has happened, where are you?"

"The curb at the midpoint."

"wait for me."

When I arrived at the door of Iwasaki Kuranosuke's house, it had become Yuta Irie driving.

Tao Zhiming didn't care at all that Iwasaki Kuranosuke's people might have been staring at him, letting the other party know that he was also prepared to come, and there was no harm in it.

Now that you have this plan, it is normal to come with preparations.

He got out of the car, and the courtyard door was already opened by a young man.The man bent over and said, "Is it Tao Jun? Please follow me."

"I'm sorry. Yuta, just wait for me here."

Irie Xiong nodded solemnly and returned to the car.

Tao Zhiming walked forward without squinting.

After entering the door, I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man with a beard and a smile standing in front of the entrance.

"It's our first time meeting, my humble Iwasaki Kuranosuke." He bent slightly.

Tao Zhiming also bent his waist slightly wider: "I've seen Mr. Iwasaki."

"I specially prepared a gift, Tao Jun has a heart."

"It's just a guess. Iwasaki-sama may be paying attention to me. The gift was prepared at a classmate's house just now. I'm sorry."

The young man took the gift in his hand and left. Iwasaki Kuranosuke held out his hand and asked him to go to the living room.

Tao Zhiming pulled himself together.

Today's game is the most critical.

After playing around and making so many smoke bombs, since it was originally Takao Hirano who proposed to make him the adopted son of Ueda's son-in-law at the behest of this person, he would probably choose to meet Tao Zhiming or Kinoshita Xiufeng.

Tao Zhiming felt that it would be better to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

So today he came to Setagaya, because the place where Patriarch Iwasaki usually stays is not a secret to Masahiro Ueda, Atsuji Kitagawa and Yoshie Anzai.

If he heard that he had come to Setagaya, would he suddenly want to meet him?

Tao Zhiming just wanted to create such an opportunity.

Now, I got to see him in person.

"Tao Jun, to use an old saying in your country of Xia, it is said that seeing a hundred things is worth seeing once."

After sitting down and hearing the first sentence, Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him: "I'm ashamed, it's my honor to be invited by Mr. Iwasaki."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's beard curled up with a smile: "I always like to give full attention to people who admire me very much from the very beginning. Mr. Tao, you should feel this, right?"

Tao Zhiming recalled Takao Hirano's family banquet at the beginning, nodded and said: "Indeed, I was also very surprised to be invited by President Hirano for the first time, and I feel very honored."

"So, Mr. Tao should know that we are indeed sincere in President Hirano's proposal." Iwasaki Kuranosuke leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Sumitomo has strong strength in the real estate field. Compared with it, our Mitsubishi is a better place for Tao Jun and Kinoshita Jun to display their talents."

"Brother Xiufeng has established a relationship with Sumitomo, so it's not so easy to cut off." Tao Zhiming also owed him, "I have a special status, because I haven't graduated yet, so I didn't really enter Mogami Hengsan. So I wanted to borrow Hirano Nagao’s proposal will actually become a bridge of transition through the Ueda family. But... you must know that Ueda-sama is... very resistant to me! To be honest, I came to Setagaya with a glimmer of hope today, and I also want to try it out , Is it possible to get your help."

"Oh?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke asked with a smile of interest, "What kind of help?"

"Because Ueda-sama asked the school to expel me." Tao Zhiming paused after finishing speaking, "I am worried that the Mori family and Ueda-sama will exert influence on the school together, so that I will be expelled from the University of Tokyo and become a stain on my life. At the same time, this will inevitably cut off the possibility of me entering the Ueda family. Thinking that all this was caused by President Hirano’s proposal, I had no choice but to come to Setagaya to try my luck.”

Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled noncommittally: "Then, why didn't you contact President Hirano first?"

Tao Zhiming was silent for a while, and then said with an apologetic face: "Although it is very rude, I met Mr. Suga when I went to Ueda's house to challenge in the morning. I had an appointment with President Mori the night before yesterday, and saw the Ueda-sama's card he took out. The power of attorney confirms that the two of them are already closely united in terms of substantial interests, so they said some words to Mr. Suga who doubted President Hirano’s sincerity.”

"I see." Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, "However, since it involves important experiences and future in your life, wouldn't Sumitomo be willing to help?"

Tao Zhiming smiled wryly: "Probably because I have already said that to the public, it is inconvenient to give up the challenge immediately and other reasons can't convince them."

"However, didn't President Beichuan and Executive Anzai solemnly guarantee to the board of directors that Tao Jun and Kinoshita-kun are absolutely fine?"

Tao Zhiming looked at his smiling face, thinking that it is not surprising that Mitsubishi has a nail in Sumitomo's board of directors.

He sighed: "If I let Specialist Anzhai and even Chairman Beichuan help me, wouldn't we have a closer relationship with them?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's smile became brighter and brighter at first, then he quickly restrained himself, and asked calmly: "If Tao-jun and Kinoshita-kun are suspicious, we just regard them as tools. Now the Mori family and the Ueda family have come to an end This is a step in line with our expectations, isn't Tao Jun worried that we will stop here?"

Tao Zhiming stared at him for a while, then lowered his head: "If Iwasaki-sama doesn't see me, then I probably think so. Since I have been invited by you to come here, it means that Brother Xiufeng and I are still valuable. .”

"Well said!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke slapped his hands, "I like to talk about value! Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun took the piece of land that Takanao Takeda took away from us before, the way is very clever! I am amazed! If more flowers Ten billion yen, to be able to invite such outstanding two for the embrace of Mitsubishi, it is totally worth it!"

With his head down, Tao Zhiming's eyes flashed coldly.

Just want to spend tens of billions more?What the hell are you thinking about peaches?

Chapter 232, Big Boss Exclusive Pit

"Thank you Iwasaki-sama for your recognition of Brother Xiufeng and me." Tao Zhiming replied immediately, and then said in a difficult way, "Although Brother Meng Xiufeng values ​​me and does not regard me as a pure subordinate, but regarding the next step, Brother Xiufeng once made a decision: If he can’t actually obtain the benefits of the Ueda family, first establish a substantial friendly relationship with the Ueda family, he can’t take the next step at the risk of offending Sumitomo.”

"Of course!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded solemnly, and then asked strangely, "But even if it is to dispel Sumitomo's doubts, using such an eye-catching way to make Ueda-kun suffer criticism is not like establishing a friendly relationship. The way. Why did you use such a method?"

Tao Zhiming looked very headache: "Even a junior like me knows that this should be just a superficial show. When President Hirano proposed this proposal, Master Ueda did not object. If there is any intention, of course it is Confirm the position of the Mori family. As for offending Ueda-sama... as long as he admits that I am more beneficial to the Ueda family than Morijiro, there are many ways for everyone to have a step down. I am in the same situation as Xiufeng and I. There's not much that can be done."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke seemed to accept his words, and then casually asked: "Then in this situation, if I can solve the problem of Ueda-kun's resistance to you, what are Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun's plans?"

"Including the expulsion of me from the University of Tokyo?" Tao Zhiming seemed to be very concerned about this.

"Of course." Iwasaki Kuranosuke replied as a matter of course, as if this matter was nothing to worry about.

Tao Zhiming sat up straight, and said seriously: "Brother Xiufeng will use the excuse that Mitsubishi's investment in Moshang Future has affected the equity structure, and include that entire land in Moshang Future. In this way, the total equity of Moshang Future will increase. A lot! If Mitsubishi asks to increase the scale of capital injection to maintain a certain percentage, Sumitomo must in turn demand to increase the scale of capital injection to Mori Group.”

Iwasaki Kuranosuke didn't speak, thinking carefully about the plan he said.

Tao Zhiming continued: "In the face of Sumitomo's capital increase to the Mori Group, the Mori family will inevitably have greater financial pressure if they want to maintain control. At this time, Mitsubishi Bank, which is their main bank, can of course control the rhythm. ...If you can really solve the problem on the side of Mr. Ueda, then if you ask Mr. Ueda to transfer the shares of the Mori Group he holds to me, it will form a situation: Sumitomo and I will hold a total of shares will approach the line of control."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke signaled him to continue.

"At that time, the Mori family can only rely on joint control with Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi's voice in the Mori Group will be greatly improved. At the same time, Mogami Mirai already includes the most important piece of land of Mogami Holdings, and Sumitomo is in Mogami Holdings However, the main shares of the company are only concentrated in Mogami Hengsan. If Brother Xiufeng and I transfer some of the shares in Mogami Mirai and all the shares in Mori Group to Mitsubishi, then Mitsubishi will be able to acquire the three groups and Mogami at the same time. The identity of the largest shareholder in the future."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke raised his eyebrows and stared at him seriously.

Tao Zhiming said calmly: "Afterwards, Mitsubishi will rely on the integrated Mogami Mirai and Mori Group, a super real estate club, to acquire Mogami Hengsan. Brother Xiufeng will still hold a large part of the shares. At that time, the largest shareholder of this super real estate club It is Mitsubishi, and the next largest shareholder is Brother Xiufeng, followed by Mori and Sumitomo. Brother Xiufeng hopes to still serve as the president of this super real estate club and become the core club of Mitsubishi. At the same time, he hopes to get a member of the board of directors of Bank of Mitsubishi seat."

Tao Zhiming made Kinoshita Hidekaze's appeal clear, and finally concluded: "If this cake can be made so big, I believe it will also make Master Ueda give up his current ideas and fully support this strategy. At that time, Mitsubishi Real Estate will hold Holding Roppongi and Mogami Gokurakucho are two chips that can affect the reform plan of the National Railways, and the land made by Takeda can be put in as a new chip at any time, which should be in the best interest of Mitsubishi, right?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at him with a half-smile, and finally said, "Why isn't Takanao Takeda's land directly reflected in this plan?"

"The owner is me. Now Mitsubishi and Sumitomo have plans to cross-invest in the Mogami Mirai and Roppongi Hills projects. Hiding the real plan in the existing plan is not so easy to arouse Sumitomo's vigilance. The reason why I To use such a sensational method is also to make yourself the center of attention. But in fact, Mogami Mirai and Mogami Hengsan are the main goals that Mitsubishi wants to fight for, isn’t it?”

"Exciting idea!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke said truthfully, and then looked at him with burning eyes, "However, how can we ensure that when the plan reaches that stage, Tao Jun and Kinoshita Jun will be able to share the shares they hold?" What about the transfer to Mitsubishi?"

Since Tao Zhiming came here on purpose, he was naturally prepared.

He stood up and took out a piece of paper: "The 100 billion yen I borrowed from Mitsubishi Bank can be arranged by you to transfer the collateral into the shares I hold in the Mori Group, and Brother Xiufeng and The shares I hold in Mogami Mirai. The deadline for debt repayment can be stipulated before July 7!"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke couldn't help being a little moved. It was only 28 weeks before the 3th. Although 100 billion yen in cash was nothing to him, it was not so easy for Kinoshita Hidekaze and this guy.

Although many details still need to be considered and deliberated, looking at the seals of Kinoshita Hidekaze and Tao Dalang on this piece of paper is indeed enough to show the sincerity of their plan.

After reading the content on the paper, he habitually put his fingers in his mouth and bit his nails.

Tao Zhiming was also quietly waiting for him.

Iwasaki Kuranosuke first asked: "Where can you get the money to acquire the Mori Group shares held by Ueda-kun?"

"Ueda-sama and I have already formed a confrontational situation. This transaction should have been hidden. It can only be reflected in the form of a secret contract. There is a text to prove that the shares have been transferred to me, but the funds are paid to Mr. Ueda. You can The agreement is before a certain date after July 7. On this point, Ueda-sama's approval is even more important."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, and then asked: "Kinoshita-kun increased the capital of the entire Mogami Gokakucho land into Mogami Mirai, and Mogami Mirai will become more important than Mogami Hengsan. Sumitomo will definitely increase capital investment. This plan is currently It has not been confirmed yet, but judging by the asset scale of the reorganized Mogami Mirae, this is only 5% of the pledged shares, which is not enough for Mitsubishi to become the largest shareholder."

Tao Zhiming sighed: "Master Iwasaki, after all, there is only 100 billion yen in mortgage loans. The value of the shares held by Ueda-sama in the Mori Group is more than 40 billion yen. After the reorganization, Mogami Mirai has 5% of the shares. , maybe worth at least 70 billion yen? This is actually enough to represent our sincerity. It should be said that we exchanged nearly 50 billion yen for Mitsubishi’s commitment to us after joining.”

"If you can't have the possibility of becoming the largest shareholder with a final decision, this plan is of little significance." Iwasaki Kuranosuke lowered his finger and looked at him.

Tao Zhiming was silent for a while, and then he said: "Then, unless you are based on the asset size of 1500 billion yen, without going through Mitsubishi Bank, you can personally lend funds to us with more shares as collateral. According to your assessment, Mitsubishi is in After adding 5% to the proportion of shares that Mogami may occupy in the future, how much more is needed to ensure that he can become the largest shareholder in one go?"

"It depends on how much Sumitomo can take."

"Tomowa originally accounted for 51%, and Mogami Hengsan accounted for 49%. Among the shares of Mogami Hengsan, Sumitomo accounted for 27%. Brother Xiufeng's restructuring plan is that after the entire land of Mogami Gokuraku Town is injected, Mogami Hengsan can account for 75% , Sumitomo and Mitsubishi each take 10%, and I take 5%. If Mitsubishi raises an objection and wants to take 15%, then Sumitomo will increase to 15% accordingly, and Mogami Hengsan will only have 65%. In this situation, Sumitomo actually There are 32.55%. There are other small shareholders in Mogami Hengsan, and Brother Xiufeng actually accounts for 43.65%. "

Iwasaki Kuranosuke frowned: "In other words, 15% plus the 5% mortgaged by Kinoshita-kun, you need to get at least 13% of the shares from Kinoshita-kun to reach 33%."

Tao Zhiming bowed his head and said: "With the inextricable relationship between Mogami Hengsan and Sumitomo, it is impossible to completely break away from it at once. Taking Mogami Mirai as a shell, it is possible. Besides, Mr. Iwasaki, this 13% of the shares are theoretically held by you personally."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke didn't respond, but put his fingers in his mouth and bit them again.

Tao Zhiming remembered reading a psychological interpretation about nail biting.

Nails are one of the weapons of the human body. If you bite your nails subconsciously when you are anxious or stressed, you are thinking about how to attack or suppressing the desire to attack.

This little habit of Iwasaki Kuranosuke is quite interesting.

However, Tao Zhiming created the opportunity to meet him, and all that needs to be said has been said.

The exclusive pit for this guy has been dug, and it depends on whether he will jump down.

It took a while for Iwasaki Kuranosuke to put down his fingers and take a sip of tea.

Tao Zhiming didn't know what the smell of the dirt in his knuckles mixed with the tea was, but he probably felt it was very exciting for many years.

"A 13% stake, according to Jun Tao and Kinoshita, is 195 billion yen?"

"If Iwasaki-sama wants to take the initiative before the hearing on July 7, we can only show such sincerity." Tao Zhiming lowered his head, looking very respectful, "Of course, if you take your time, for example If I can persuade Ueda-sama to transfer Mori Group's shares into my name in advance as an 'inheritance', then the gap between Mogami Mirai's shares will only be a little over 28%."

"That's also 150 billion yen." Iwasaki Kuranosuke took a deep look at him and smiled meaningfully, "Tao Jun, the term 'inheritance' is too rude."

"...Ashamed." Tao Zhiming continued to lower his head.

Iwasaki Kuranosuke laughed twice and said: "Sensible people always seem a bit cruel. So in this plan, where are Ueda-kun's interests? Assuming I agree with this plan, I still need reasons to convince him. "

"I'm still very young. In the future Mitsubishi Real Estate, the part of the shares I hold can be stipulated in the secret contract with Ueda-sama to be held by Xanalai. This part of the shares does not need to be paid by the Ueda family. In addition, it also includes 5% of the shares in BRAVO PEACH. Of course, the premise is that I will be accepted as the son-in-law of the Ueda family."

"These two shares, plus the money to buy Ueda-kun's shares in the Mori Group, in exchange for him to give up the Mori family?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke said with a smile, "Ueda-kun may not be willing. That BRAVO PEACH, can now Not of much value."

Tao Zhiming said helplessly: "Isn't the sincerity of 5 billion yen for 75% of the shares in Mogami Future not enough? Although BRAVO PEACH has just started now, 5% is worth two to three billion yen. The most important thing is, don't I Isn't the future of the future much better than Morijiro after the implementation of this plan?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled noncommittally, but finally said casually: "Ueda Taro's fearless adventure, Mr. Tao, did you still want to be the son-in-law and adopted son of the Ueda family at first? But why do you care about the old affairs of Ueda Kenta?" Woolen cloth?"

Tao Zhiming suddenly said: "Is there really something hidden about brother Shana? I only heard from Shana that her brother committed suicide, and Master Inagawa told me that Shana's brother died not on a hike, but because of Became a scandal apology of the Ueda family. I care about this old matter, just to create pressure on Ueda-sama. Tokyo University is a good experience after all, my life has just begun, so I can’t be ashamed! Ueda-sama supports Mori My family, you don’t take Chairman Hirano’s proposal seriously! Iwasaki-sama, what is the reason for the death of the eldest son of the Ueda family?”

Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at him carefully, and after a long time he smiled and said: "As Kazuji Inagawa said, it is a scandal about the Ueda family. Since it is a scandal, it is of course not convenient for me to tell you. For this plan, you chose Using that method to make Ueda's family widely concerned by the media, there is a reason Ueda-kun rejects you so much. If it weren't for this step of yours, he wouldn't be so resistant to this proposal, and instead stood firmly with the Mori family. Together. So, you also created more trouble for me!"

"About this...I hope Master Iwasaki understands."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded and said, "The last question. Jun Tao, I heard that you brought Hoshino Suzu back from Izu. How do you solve Sumitomo's restraint on you?"

Tao Zhiming looked at him in astonishment, and finally smiled wryly: "You really know everything. So, you should believe that Brother Xiufeng and I did this step because we sincerely want to get the protection of Mitsubishi Wings? As for Speaking of that bondage... After all, I am not a principled person like Ueda-sama."

"Oh?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes flashed brightly, "How do you say that?"

Tao Zhiming sat up straight, and said calmly: "Master Ueda has a promise to you, Shana told me. The real reason why Master Ueda locked up Shana is naturally this."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at him in amazement: "Tao Jun, you are also very good at dealing with women."

"...I'm ashamed." Tao Zhiming lowered his head, "In order to make me and brother Xiufeng retreat the night before yesterday, Chairman Mori also mentioned why Master Ueda entered into an engagement with the Mori family. Master Ueda is on the side of Mitsubishi, and he handles affairs. I understand why it is so strange. But Ueda-sama has always upheld some of his principles as a samurai, and he regards promises as extremely important, as well as the inheritance of the Ueda family. He is worried about accepting your son as a son-in-law. One day the inheritance of the Ueda family will be cut off. But at the same time, I firmly believe that the promise to you needs to be fulfilled in a certain way. Because of this, Brother Xiufeng and I feel that this plan has the possibility of success."

"Ueda-kun... is indeed an admirable man." Iwasaki Kuranosuke said lightly, "Actually, it's better to be like him and be more principled. If you have any promises to Sumitomo, are you prepared to do so? In the future, under the protection of Mitsubishi, it will be as if there is no such thing?"

Tao Zhiming knew that the real drama was coming, and acted respectfully: "Then what is Lord Iwasaki's suggestion?"

Chapter 233, No Regrets

Irie Yuta waited at the door for a long time, and the more he waited, the more nervous he became.

After going in for so long and not coming out, I feel that something is wrong.
