Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Although Cao Zhiqiang felt a little baffled as he was force-fed a box of DUREX and said a bunch of ambiguous words, he didn't think much about it and just thought that Nagayama Kozo had misunderstood him.

Yes, even now, Cao Zhiqiang only thinks that Kozo Nagayama is empathizing with his heart, thinking that he has a fancy to Sayuri Yoshinaga, so he deliberately creates this kind of opportunity for himself, and deliberately says the opposite, never thinking that Sayuri Yoshinaga treats him interesting.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang has no confidence in his own charm, but that he never thought Sayuri Yoshinaga would have thoughts about him.

After all, Sayuri Yoshinaga is so much older than herself, and her reputation in the industry is said to be very good, at least she has always followed the rules in her private life, and there is nothing wrong with it.

What's more, Yoshinaga Sayuri is well-known, has a high status, and her husband is also very powerful. At the same time, she doesn't seem to be short of money, so she doesn't need anything from Cao Zhiqiang.

So normally speaking, Sayuri Yoshinaga couldn't please herself.

Unspoken rules are rampant in the entertainment industry, he understands this kind of thing, but generally men and women have unspoken rules, and I have never heard of women's unspoken rules and men, especially Sayuri Yoshinaga, it is even more impossible.

Even if Sayuri Yoshinaga is really interested in her looks and talent, and greedy for her body, normally speaking, Sayuri Yoshinaga will not have anything to do with her, because it is too uneconomical.

With Sayuri Yoshinaga's current status and the power of her husband, once there is a scandal in Sayuri Yoshinaga's private life, it will be a big event, which is different from the scandals of ordinary starlets.

Among other things, Sayuri Yoshinaga's husband won't let her go, and it's unlikely that he will swallow his anger. He will only divorce and kill a dragon, which is absolutely unreasonable.

Although Yoshinaga Sayuri's father is an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cao Zhiqiang has long heard that this is an ordinary bureaucratic family, not a political power. At most, it can fool ordinary people. In the eyes of the real powerful, it is nothing at all.

Therefore, Sayuri Yoshinaga's real backer is her husband, Taro Okada.

Without the support of Taro Okada, Sayuri Yoshinaga can only be an ordinary star, and it is absolutely impossible to have the weight she is today.

To put it bluntly, in Japanese society, having money does not equal power, no matter how much money you have, it is useless.

For example, Yanai Masa, the richest man in Japan, was also the founder of Uniqlo. He later took over the position of the richest man in Japan for a long time, but can you say that Yanai Masa is a powerful person in Japan?Does not.

Even SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Abemoto, who is equally wealthy, is only rich in Japan. If you want to say how powerful he is, it is simply not enough.

On the contrary, none of the so-called five major political families and the four major financial groups in Japan are particularly wealthy, but no one dares to ignore their power in Japan.

Also similar, there was the Lee family of the Samsung Group in South Korea during the Sixth Republic.

During the period of the Sixth Republic, the Li family of the Samsung Group, on the surface, the private property of the helm of their family is not much, even if the property of the whole family is added up, it is not particularly outrageous, and the Li family seems to be in the Samsung has a very small shareholding, but the Lee family's control over Samsung and its influence on South Korea are unrivaled.

The reason is that the Samsung Group controls all aspects of South Korea, and although the Lee family seems to hold very little shares in Samsung, they use a complex set of cross-shareholding methods to firmly hold the company with extremely low assets. Take control of Samsung.

Samsung's cross-shareholding method is complicated to say. To put it simply, it means setting up a company A that controls 50.00% of the shares to control 50.00% of the shares of the larger company B, and then using company B to control a company larger than B. 50.00% of the shares of Company C, which is a larger company, can be controlled one by one, and then cross-shareholdings can be used to control a huge Samsung empire with the least amount of money.

And Samsung's set, in fact, also learned from Japan.

Japan used this method back then to avoid the full liquidation of the chaebols after the war. On the basis of the chaebols, they created a new four major consortiums, namely Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda.

These four major financial groups are only the strongest top-level financial groups, and there are countless secondary financial groups after that, and even lower secondary financial groups.

Let’s not talk about South Korea, let’s talk about Japan. Basically, political families control the government, while financial groups control the economy. The two sides have a mutually cooperative relationship.

But relatively speaking, the most powerful in Japan are the five major political families.

Because the five major political families control the Japanese government, and the Japanese government can strongly control the Japanese consortia, not the other way around.

In the same way, in South Korea before the Sixth Republic, that is, during the so-called military government period, the Korean chaebols were all tucked tails, and they were powerless to fight against the government.

After the military government fell and the so-called democratic Sixth Republic came, and the president was changed to only serve for five years and could not be re-elected, South Korea's chaebols took a breath of relief and gradually took control of all aspects of South Korea.

The reason is that no matter how good the president was during the Sixth Republic, he only lasted for five years, while the chaebols were family-owned and could wait for you to step down, or even find ways to remove you before you step down.

What's interesting is that South Korea's economic downturn and all kinds of deadlocks are also the period when the chaebols emerged in the Sixth Republic. It is also because of this that the so-called Koreans cannot live without Samsung.

This is equivalent to saying that the Koreans finally overthrew the military government, but continued to be ruled by chaebols. It has to be said that it is ironic.

Comparatively speaking, Japan is much better.

In Japan, the five major political families are in power in turn, which leads to a strong continuity of the government. In addition, the Japanese consortium has long been cleaned up by the father of the United States, and it is powerless to fight against the government. Therefore, the Japanese consortium is not as powerful as the Korean chaebol, even after 30 years. .

Moreover, Japan's five major political families take turns ruling, which also has the advantage of ensuring the continuity and long-term nature of many Japanese policies, allowing Japan to designate long-term plans for more than ten years.

Fundamentally, this is because the five major political families unite and confront each other, and are consistent in some aspects.

From this perspective, the really powerful groups in Japan are the five major political families and their affiliated families. It's just that the members of these political families have power, but their personal wealth is not high.

In modern society, if political families want to consolidate their dominance, the news media must win over them.

There is no news media, how can you fool the people, how can you spread your influence.

Therefore, one of the five major TV stations in Japan counts as one, but in fact, they are all inextricably linked with a certain political family behind them.

For example, Fuji TV has a deep relationship with the Abe family.

The same goes for other companies such as film and newspaper agencies.

Okada Taro of Fuji TV, although his personal wealth is not too much, and his position is not too high, but the Okada family he belongs to has a deep relationship with political families such as the Sato family.

This made Taro Okada, at least in the entertainment industry, definitely the top group.

And how could such a person's wife be careless, how could she mess up her position because of a beautiful man, and want to rule the other party unspoken?

In particular, the matchmaking was done through Nagayama Kozo, a person with a similar background. Isn't this giving people a clue?

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang was a little shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this must be Nagayama Kozo's misunderstanding. How could a smart person like Sayuri Yoshinaga fall into such a thing.

Saiduri Yoshinaga is not a girl in her [-]th or [-]th year, and she is prone to fall in love. She is a serious mature woman, and she is also an ambitious person.

After thinking about this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, and wanted to throw away the box of DUREX, lest it accidentally fall out and cause misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, I looked in the corridor and found that there were no trash cans nearby.

After frowning, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to kick the box of DUREX into the inner pocket of the leather jacket.

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang came here wearing a velvet leather jacket and velvet jeans because it was warm enough, more relaxed, and much more comfortable than wearing a suit or something.

It was also thanks to the short time after Cao Zhiqiang went in that he didn't have time to take off his coat, otherwise it would be really hard to say.

As for why it is not stuffed into the trouser pocket, it is because the pocket of the jeans is too small, and the traditional way of kneeling inside is used.

If you put a box of these things in your trouser pocket when you are kneeling and sitting, not to mention uncomfortable, if you accidentally fall out, you will die.

Put it away hard, and after confirming that there would be no problem, Cao Zhiqiang straightened his expression and walked into the room again.

After re-entering the room, she found Sayuri Yoshinaga lying on the side of the table with reddish cheeks, resting her chin in one hand and holding the script in the other, reading the script quietly.

Seeing her lazy look like no one else, Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously frowned.

It's not anything else, but Yoshinaga Sayuri's appearance is a bit out of place and a bit too casual.

If it's at home, it's fine to face my husband, but when I face a guest, who is a man, it's a bit too casual and doesn't conform to Japanese etiquette.

But maybe this is Sayuri Yoshinaga's true temperament, maybe in her eyes, she is just a junior, there is no need to behave herself.

After explaining to himself again, Cao Zhiqiang politely nodded to Sayuri Yoshinaga, and then sat down in a kneeling posture on his own seat.

At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know whether it was because it was extremely hot in the room or because he was nervous. Cao Zhiqiang only felt a little dry mouth and sweat on his forehead.

After taking a deep breath, Cao Zhiqiang took a look and found that there was no water, so he quickly poured himself a glass of cold sake and drank it down.

Drinking this glass of iced sake really relieved the feeling of thirst temporarily, and the sudden tension also eased a lot.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang exhaled and was about to pick up his chopsticks and eat something first, Sayuri Yoshinaga, who was half lying on the opposite side, suddenly raised her head and smiled slightly at Cao Zhiqiang: "Cao Sang, are you hungry?"

"Yes." For some reason, Cao Zhiqiang became nervous again.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang yelled: "Oh, I didn't eat much in the morning, and now I'm starving. Senior Sayuri, can I have something to eat first? How about we chat after eating?"

Yoshinaga Sayuri narrowed her eyes and smiled softly: "You can do whatever you want and don't worry about me. In fact, I'm hungry too."

Speaking of this, Sayuri Yoshinaga put down the script, sat up on her knees again, and then ignored Cao Zhiqiang, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of tuna sushi.

Seeing Sayuri Jiyong like this, Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief again.

This guy, Sayuri Yoshinaga, does she still have such a side?
I am so surprised.

It seems that Kozo Nagayama is really talking nonsense, Sayuri Yoshinaga is actually a very easy person to get along with, she doesn't think that way at all, he must be thinking too much.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang picked up his chopsticks and said, "That's rude."

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was about to pick up the piece of eel sushi closest to him with chopsticks and was about to fill his stomach first, Sayuri Yoshinaga suddenly put the piece of tuna sushi she picked up and gently placed it on the plate in front of Cao Zhiqiang.

"Try this." Sayuri Yoshinaga, who gave Cao Zhiqiang a piece of tuna sushi with chopsticks, smiled slightly, "The tuna sushi here is one of a kind. Not only is the material fresh, but it is also made one by one by Master Fujita using an exclusive secret recipe. You can't eat it anywhere else. Can’t reach it.”

Cao Zhiqiang froze for a moment, looked at Sayuri Jiyong who was smiling, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Eat it quickly." Sayuri Yoshinaga smiled at Cao Zhiqiang again, "It won't taste good after a long time."

Cao Zhiqiang swallowed, and sweat broke out on his forehead again.

After swallowing his saliva, Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath and forced a smile: "The elder gave me this gift, but I dare not refuse, so I would be disrespectful."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Sayuri Yoshinaga, quickly picked up the tuna sushi she gave him with chopsticks, and quickly swallowed it into his mouth.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang swallowed it down, looked up, and found Sayuri Yoshinaga on the opposite side was still smiling, staring at him, and felt a little nervous again.

After blinking, Cao Zhiqiang forced a smile at Sayuri Yoshinaga again: "Senior, why do you keep looking at me? Is there anything unclean on my face?"

Yoshinaga Sayuri narrowed her eyes, covered her mouth and chuckled: "No, it's just that it's funny to see you sweating profusely."

"what?"

Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and then looked at it in front of his eyes. It was really sweat.

And at this time, Cao Zhiqiang felt hot all over his body belatedly, as if he was sweating a lot.

At this moment, Sayuri Yoshinaga, who was dressed in a kimono, stood up gracefully, and then walked towards Cao Zhiqiang with small steps.

When Sayuri Jiyong came to Cao Zhiqiang, she suddenly smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "Please stand up."

"What are you doing?" Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously leaned back, "You, what do you want to do?"

Sayuri Yoshinaga suddenly made a gloomy expression: "Obviously, I want to eat you!"

Just when Cao Zhiqiang stared blankly on the spot with his eyes wide open, he gasped and didn't think about how to react.

Saiduri Yoshinaga suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled again: "Hahaha, interesting, you are so interesting, I was frightened, hahaha!"

After covering her mouth and laughing, Sayuri Yoshinaga folded her arms suddenly, pursed her lips and smiled condescendingly at Cao Zhiqiang, and said, "Don't worry, I just teased you just to make fun of you, don't mind.

Actually, I just saw that you were too hot and wanted to help you take off your coat.

The heating here is very good, you still wear so much, it’s no wonder it’s not hot.

Come on, stand up, and I'll help you take off your coat.

It's so hot here, and you still wear so much, don't make something wrong with the heat, it will be broken. "(end of this chapter)
