Chapter 472: Twenty years of intrigue
Chapter 472 Twenty years of intrigue
Horikawa Nobuhiko was surprised to find that Tanaka Rong's attitude towards Tao Zhiming was closer than he thought.
how did you do that? He was sure that Tao Zhiming had never met Tanaka Rong before. And this kind of closeness is not because the interests are indispensable to Tanaka Rong. It was purely an appreciation revealed in his eyes, something like... the old father-in-law saw a very satisfied son-in-law.
Naturally, he could not have imagined that Tao Zhiming made Tanaka Eiji his confidant by virtue of his "touting" on the way.
is not someone who is easy to be moved, this is a very well-known big figure in the history of neon.
Tao Zhiming was just as if he was just providing a place for this very strange meeting he attended, and after sitting down, he just listened to them start talking.
But Horikawa Nobuhiko and Kijima Motoichi seemed to be stunned, just chatting.
It was Tanaka Eiji who was more "straightforward". Seeing that he could not talk about the main topic for a long time, he said lightly: "Kishima-kun and I are both old, and our health is not as good as before, and Horikawa-kun also made a special trip from Kansai. After that, go home early and have a good rest."
In a simple sentence, the result has been pointed out: everything is fine, stop fighting.
Horikawa Nobuhiko bowed his head and said yes, then looked at Motoichi Kishima, and replied meaningfully: "The plan proposed by Kishima-san is a good solution. Tanaka-san, since you trust Kishima-san and Tao Jun, then I don't need to worry too much."
It sounds like he is thinking about Tanaka Sakae, but Tanaka Sakae now trusts Kijima Motoichi to put Kitayuki Yuko on Tao Zhiming's side.
Tanaka Eiji smiled lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Don't worry, I can still come in handy, but not now. Speaking of which, it seems that Horikawa-kun and Tao-kun are going to make some big plans?"
Nobuhiko Horikawa looked at Motoichi Kishima, and after a moment of consideration, he said, "That's true. We hope to enhance each other's strengths around the plan to promote tourism development based on Kansai culture."
"So at this time, wouldn't it be better for the three of you to work together?" Tanaka Sakae said with a natural tone, but then smiled again, "Of course, I'm getting old, this is just a suggestion."
"Tanaka-san's suggestion...very pertinent." Horikawa Nobuhiko just said that.
The so-called method of Motoichi Kishima to persuade Nobuhiko Horikawa seems to be this.
As a result, it seems that he has indeed persuaded Nobuhiko Horikawa.
But there seems to be more fog surrounding Tao Zhiming.
The three of them, as well as Kodama Shifu, Hachiman Research Association, Moonlight Sou... What is the intricate relationship between these people?
Horikawa Nobuhiko seemed to just come over to confirm Tanaka's attitude, but it seemed that Tanaka's attitude was not enough, so he still refused to leave.
The all-powerful Tanaka Sakae gave Horikawa Nobuhiko a deep look, and then said lightly, "Yes, do you need someone more important now? Let me make a call."
"...Don't dare." Although Horikawa Nobuhiko's expression was a little embarrassed, the matter had already been brought up to this point, and he had to clarify the situation and get some clearer assurances.
"Tao Jun, borrow your mobile phone." Tanaka Rong looked at Tao Zhiming and smiled.
"…Please."
…
At this time, Toshi Kaibe, who had attended the embassy reception, returned to the mansion and was also having a secret conversation with someone.
"Kaibe-san, if you decide to do this, you will face a lot of internal and external pressure right away."
This is Taro Ozawa, who is known as the Jingsekai, which is one of the seven practices of the Takegami School. He came here after hearing the news, and looked at Jun Kaibe with an anxious face: "Didn't Tanaka-san try to use the Xia Kingdom as a balance to support the Lockheed incident more than ten years ago?"
"This is a must!" Kaibe Jun said decisively, "Only with this support, I will not have too much resistance in the next step. Ozawa-san, now that you have been the agent of the Takegami faction. Chairman, then the post of secretary general is up to you!"
"...Where's Hashimoto-san?"
"Hashimoto-san, as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is more important to focus on provincial affairs at this critical moment. His secretary-general is actually acting as an agent, Ozawa-san, I know that you have a good relationship with the Ming Party. You are the secretary-general. If we do, even if there will be some differences among other factions within us, at least get more support from the outside world!" Kaibe Jun said earnestly.
Taro Ozawa's expression changed, the post of secretary-general was a step up to the prime minister.
Hashimoto Taro has been vigorously trained by Takegami, but he is a little more qualified than him after all.
Hearing Kaibe Shun mentioning the Ming Party supported by the Yawata Research Association, Ozawa Taro confirmed: "Kaibu-san, did you first go to Kyoto for this purpose?"
"That's why I invited Tanaka-san today to attend the reception at the Xia Kingdom Embassy!"
At this moment, someone at the door said respectfully: "I'm sorry. Ozawa-sama, there is an important phone call from you... Tanaka-sama is calling."
Taro Ozawa's expression froze, and then he ordered in a deep voice, "Come in."
…
Hashimoto Taro on the other side was also asking Takegata for advice.
"Tanaka-san is in front of you, ask Tao Jun to meet after the reception?" Takeshita was a little surprised.
"Yes." Hashimoto Taro nodded, "Then I found the opportunity to ask Tao Jun, he said he didn't know what was going on, but Nobuhiko Horikawa from Daiichi Kanye Bank had already left for Tokyo at that time. ."
Takegami frowned and thought for a long time.
Since he resigned because of the Rikulut incident, he has not been held accountable or convicted like Tanaka Eiji. But even Tanaka Sakae, who experienced such a situation at the beginning, still exerted his influence for a long time by virtue of the Tanaka faction.
In this process, there is naturally the need of the original Tanaka faction to fight against other clan factions, and the reason why Tanaka Sakae is still needed.
But since Takegami Step and others "betrayed" Tanaka Sakae four years ago and founded the current Takeshita Sect, Tanaka Sakae had a brain stalk by coincidence, and outsiders regarded Takegami Sect's people as traitors.
Now, Kaibu Jun invited Tanaka Rong to attend today's meeting together, and started to communicate closely with Tao Zhiming. Could it be that Kaibu Jun and the others have any new ideas about Tao Zhiming's original plan?
Takegami thought of this and said: "The plan of the Sanyou Foundation must not change! Hashimoto-kun, after the provincial capital of Dazo the day after tomorrow, you must hear from Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Tao-kun about their current plans. I Contact others! Tanaka-san suddenly became active again at this time, I'm afraid there are some very special reasons."
"I understand."
…
Tao Zhiming is still unclear for the time being, but Tanaka Rong's sudden public appearance has aroused many people's associations next time.
But after listening to him make a phone call, Taro Ozawa came here soon afterward, and Tao Zhiming couldn't help but sigh that his prestige was still there.
Ozawa Taro was quite surprised when he saw Tao Zhiming, and he was even more puzzled when he saw that they were with Horikawa Nobuhiko and Kijima Motoichi.
Tanaka Sakae said in a straightforward and nonchalant tone: "At that time, you were one of my most powerful assistants. You did many things in cooperation with the Ming Party, which was founded not long ago, and the Yawata Research Society. Shima-san is also here, he suddenly came to visit me, and Kaibu-san suddenly invited me to participate in today's reception, so what role do you want me to play, please tell me bluntly."
"...Ashamed, I am also surprised. Tanaka-san, don't misunderstand..."
"I have no misunderstanding." Ei Tanaka waved his hand, "I have also seen what happened to Takegami-san and Uno-san this year. It's a familiar taste. Now I want to use some things from the past to prepare, without worrying about my feelings. "I'm getting old, and it's good to be able to play a little bit more."
"...Yes." Taro Ozawa no longer insisted, but still glanced at Tao Zhiming, "Then Tao Jun..."
"You talk, let Tao Jun and I go to another place to talk."
Tan Zhongei got up after speaking, Tao Zhiming was in a fog, it seemed that some old things they were going to talk about were not suitable for him to know.
As a result, Tanaka Eiji and him went to another tea room in the yard and smiled calmly: "I know what you are planning. You have a lot of questions now, and I know too."
"...Tanaka-san is referring to?"
Tanaka Rong's face flashed with pride, and then said: "As a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, you plan to build a new consortium in Neon, but you can get their support from Takegami. You think it's just because you have a good relationship with the Tao family. , is it supported by the capital of the United States?"
Tao Zhiming's heart was shocked, and he was surprised that a character like Tanaka Rong could still have such a top-level information source.
But there was something in Tanaka's words, and he couldn't help but look at Tanaka's.
"It's not surprising. Have you forgotten what Kaibe-san said today?" Using him as a bridge will definitely help the friendship between our two countries.' Do you understand?" Tanaka Eiji looked at him deeply. .
Tao Zhiming pondered for a long time, and suddenly he said: "You mean...I am also part of the balance strategy?"
Tanaka Ei nodded approvingly, and then in this tea room, he explained many things that Tao Zhiming didn't know before.
Since Neon became the second largest economy in the world 20 years ago, in fact, many “insighted people” of Neon have foreseen this situation today.
They also know clearly that with Neon's situation, it is very difficult to escape this knife.
But there are many factions about how to deal with the big storm in the future. There are both the orthodox faction who feel that the waist is hard and must fight for a change in status; there are also the factional faction who know that the father is still there, and Neon has its own national conditions here.
But no matter which faction, there are three mountains that cannot be avoided: the economic form with consortium as the skeleton, the political structure with obvious family characteristics, and the external environment where diplomacy, defense and media are deeply influenced.
So from that time, Neon's struggle for more than 20 years began.
One of the very important things is to take advantage of the opportunity of the United States to win over Xia to fight against Hongsu, Neon hopes to seek the normalization of relations with Xia, and expand its investment in Xia, so that Neon will be better in the external environment. More space for both sides.
This thing was realized by Tanaka Eiji.
How can the United States not know the little Jiujiu in Neon's heart?
Tao Zhiming asked unexpectedly after listening to a little: "The Lockheed incident has been ambush for you long ago?"
Tanaka Rong smiled: "Shifu Kodama is a man known as a neon shady man. Before I announced my candidacy for president, his energy surpassed your imagination. Don't look at me now, at the beginning, I was also broken. The man who got the rhythm they planned!"
He reminisced about the past scenery, and then sighed and said, "But I look forward with all my heart, but ignore the hidden crisis around me..."
In Kodama Shifu's view, Tanaka Rong was a betrayal of Sato Rong, who was more optimistic about him.
But the boat is done, Kodama Shifu can only try to continue to try to influence Tanaka Sakae.
Fortunately, Tanaka Eiji, who became the Prime Minister as an entrepreneur in the civilian class, naturally has many close friends who are also in business. One of them, Kenji Sano, became the breakthrough, and by that time he had become a major shareholder of Neon Airlines.
The Lockheed incident, Tanaka Sakae has many considerations.
Both Kodama Shifu's huge influence needs to be paid attention to, and as a civilian prime minister facing the hostility of the clan, he needs more foreign aid, and he can bring some benefits to his confidants and even himself. I stepped into this hole.
This pit has even affected today.
Not only the Lockheed incident that caused him to be blamed now, but also the Hachiman Research Society, which was deeply implicated in the opposition Ming Party, and many black materials represented by Yueguangzhuang who influenced many figures of the Tanaka faction at that time.
Tao Zhiming asked uncertainly, "Fukumoto Xiong?"
"That's right." Tanaka Ei said solemnly, "After the death of Shifu Kodama, he is now the new shady undercover of Neon! Nakazō-sang has been his best friend since the days of the congressman, and Takegami-san and his youth have been friends since then. Friends, Abe-san is alumni of Dongda University together with him, worked at Neon Economic News together, and resigned to serve as the secretary of the congressman together.”
Tao Zhiming called out to be a good guy.
Tanaka Rong's next sentence made him abruptly fix his eyes: "Through an organization similar to Yueguang Village, with his relationship with the current political leaders, you will know how many secrets he has. The most important thing is that you are not related to Have you met Stevenson Rockefeller? The relationship between Fukumoto and the Tao family is probably more intimate than yours, much more intimate!"
Tao Zhiming's eyes were sharp and he looked at Tanaka Rong.
The old man's expression was calm: "If you want to establish a new consortium, you will fight against all the old forces! The current Mitsui, Sumitomo, the current Takegami-san, Hashimoto-san, and others who have not expressed objections may all be like Your friend. But are you really aware that one day you might face a situation where they all become enemies?"
These words made Tao Zhiming silent for a long time.
Over the past few days, some of the fog surrounding Nobuhiko Horikawa, whether true or false at this time, has been sorted out a lot with the help of Tanaka Rong.
The Hachiman Research Association supported the creation of a Ming Party, and it is now a very important one in the opposition party. This is a line of interest belonging to the Yawata Research Association, and of course there is an unclear relationship with every DLP boss.
Behind Moonlight Village is Fukumoto Ou, who is in the same blood as Kodama Shifu. These are all tools that are deeply influenced and supported by the United States and use various shady means to make the neon political bigwigs obedient.
And the neon politicians, because of Tanaka's original eclectic and unexpected appearance, have continued to this day in the struggle between the orthodox faction, the situation faction and those purely conservative factions.
The content of this struggle not only includes the relationship with Xia Guo, but also how to face the current consortium economy of Neon.
At this moment, the people who have been in the same line since Tanaka Sakae are all of the situation. I hope to gradually gain a space for both sides, and then further tap the potential of neon. It is even necessary to take the opportunity of financial opening to let the neon consortium not limit its vision to squeezing the country. They first go to invest internationally, whether in the United States or Xia, buying assets at high prices and making large investments are all part of striving for a better external environment for Neon. If it can do anything, the next step will release the potential of neon's new domestic industry.
The people represented by Mie Yefu and Ueda Masahiro at that time are a bit of a sectarian. They seem to be full of enthusiasm, wanting to get rid of external and internal constraints, to break through and stand up, but in fact the means are too rude, looking at the problem is really not as profound as Tanaka Eiji and Takegami steps.
As for those who are purely conservative, they are supported by consortia whose industries are not as competitive as Mitsui and Sumitomo—for example, Daiichi Bank, Furong, etc.—because they think the status quo is good enough, don’t mess with it angry dad.
They are not like Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi are already being slaughtered, but they will feel that it is because the sincerity of the past is enough.
Under the cover of the nest, how can there be any finished eggs?
Tanaka Ei finally looked at Tao Zhiming and said, "So, you must have this kind of awareness. If you let people like Fukumoto continue to exist, then even if you help them dismember other consortia first, at that time you will be killed It's time for marginalization. Because, you don't have him. And if you want to become irreplaceable, you have to do four things!"
Tao Zhiming looked at him.
"First, let people like me, Takegami-san, Hashimoto-san have sufficient funds for activities, and they will not be easily targeted for it. Second, the consortium will inevitably not disappear in Neon, your new consortium will not disappear. It must be able to continue to bring a greater future to Mitsui and Sumitomo. Third, it is more important to convince the capital of the United States that what you can bring to them is more important than means like Fukumoto, which not only includes ordinary monetary returns, but also Including the shaping of Neon's domestic political and economic environment."
Tanaka Rong paused for a while before he said earnestly: "Fourth, as you said, you must be part of a balanced strategy. The current situation facing the Xia Kingdom is only temporary, and I have personally experienced that their leaders are determined to develop the country. determination. In the near future, whether it is investment, trade, or other aspects, you must be able to become a bridge between the United States, Neon and Xia, and a fulcrum to balance some problems!"
The voice of fell, Tao Zhiming thought quietly.
After a long time, he asked: "Tanaka-san, you don't care about Yuko Kitayuki, and the conversation between Ozawa-san and Horikawa-san, is it because there are many people who have been united in your future development thinking?"
Tanaka Rong looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and then he laughed heartily and said: "Exchange! It's an exchange, Tao Jun. How can it be enough to just let me take the black cauldron of gold power politics? Since you want me Responsible for the possible collapse of Neon Real Estate, and of course to keep my stability during my lifetime. As for my death, who cares about them?"
Listening to his narrow and relieved tone, Tao Zhiming also smiled: "I can't say anything wrong, you will definitely be one of the three people that Neon people think of first when they look back at the Showa era, maybe one of the two. One. The other, just because the word Showa is directly related to him."
Tanaka Sakae restrained his smile, and said leisurely, "Thank you, I just hope that people in the future don't always stare at me and a few women's stories and read with relish."
Tao Zhiming also restrained his smile and said solemnly: "I also want to thank Tanaka-san, many doubts have been answered."
No wonder he has to tell Tao Zhiming alone, don't look at how close he is to Motoichi Kijima, but that's just for Tao Zhiming's acting.
Sure enough, Tanaka Sakae asked with a smile: "But the biggest doubt is why do I tell you so much?"
