Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 322

It was only at this time that Takegami said wearily: "The consumption tax is also beneficial for them to enter the neon..."

"The protest rally of 17 people in Yoyogi Park is not good for us!" Abe Taro said sadly, "If it is matched with the consumption tax and can control the depreciation of the neon yen, it will not be as troublesome as it is today!"

"Abe-san, if you have any good ideas, you might as well bring them up, and I will arrange for your son to do it." Takegami said in a nonchalant way.

Abe Taro's expression froze, and he closed his mouth in displeasure.

Although there was an agreement between the two that he would be the prime minister first and then he would take over. He also arranged his son Shinko Abe into the cabinet first, but now he said this directly, what do other people think?

Takegami gave him a cold look, this fellow wished that he could go down now so that he could come out and clean up the mess.

But whose ass is cleaner?

After discussing in the room for so long, Hashimoto Taro looked at his watch and said, "Takegami-san, everyone, are you sure that Tao Dalang has always been in close contact with that Tao family?"

When another topic came up, Takegami felt a sense of anticipation, put out his cigarette and nodded and said, "I have spent a lot of effort to confirm this from Mitsubishi. Hashimoto-kun, you and Itoyama-kun should go ask about it together. Let's see if we can get some additional information."

Hashimoto Taro asked: "Do you want to invite Governor Suzuki together?"

"Too many people is not good. After all, you and Itoyama-kun share the same hobbies with him."

"I understand."

But Abe Taro opened his mouth and confessed: "He and Mie Nofu seem to have friendship, and you can also ask about the central bank."

Hashimoto Taro frowned: "I am the Minister of Finance, but it is inappropriate to ask about the central bank from him."

"So can you let the central bank continue to follow the command of the Ministry of Finance? After Miyazawa-kun resigned, the central bank is eager to go berserk! Mie Yefu has been criticizing the cabinet's fiscal policy. You should do everything you can to control those guys now! If Starting to raise interest rates now, can the United States agree to open the semiconductor and medical markets?"

One sentence made Kiji Miyazawa even more sad, and Taro Hashimoto also looked gloomy.

He got up silently, bowed, and left the smoky room.

The current situation of the central bank is indeed not good, and the current president is also able to suppress the direct descendants of the central bank, such as Mie Yefu, because he can get the support of the highly prestigious Miyazawa Kiji.

Over the past month since he took over the Ministry of Finance and Economics, the dispute with them has caused Hashimoto Taro quite a headache.

The proposal on how much national debt should be absorbed by the central bank was rejected by him; he repeatedly raised interest rate discussions, claiming that the risk of financial control is now extremely high, and interest rates must be raised.

Nor does it look at what time it is.

On the radio in the car, there were heated discussions about whether Heisei would continue to prosper, and there were also discussions about which political figures were involved in the Rikulut incident.

Taro Hashimoto was upset when he heard it: "Turn off the radio."

The car became quiet, it was not completely dark yet, today's Tokyo is a bit different from usual.

All the neon lights on the street were turned off as a sign of condolences.

Hashimoto Taro's mood was as depressed as the unusual scene outside, but he was worried about other things.

To him, the most important thing is that the Rikrut incident end as soon as possible and that Takegami can continue to govern smoothly.Abe Taro is already very old. Judging by his health, as long as he can survive for two or three years, the power within the party will inevitably be reorganized.

But now, although the outbreak of this incident was definitely not caused by Abe Taro, he is willing to contribute to the flames.Kiji Miyazawa has already been affected and resigned. At this juncture, who is closer to that position than him?

So the most important thing is the Riklut incident.

The special search department of the local police has been dispatched. The current cabinet is suppressing the opposition of the people and suppressing the central bank to implement policies that are beneficial to the United States. Why do they launch such a resolute attack?

It has been developed for half a year, and it is not over yet, and even officially filed, what is the purpose?

In the past, some people in the Tao family could be contacted, but now they can't be contacted.

Hashimoto Taro first returned to the Ministry of Finance, and then in the garage, he got into another car that would not be recognizable as his car, and went to the car that Tao Zhiming and the Qingtian family, Ueda family, and Kinoshita Xiufeng shared. Go in the direction of Taoranting.

This Taoranting Pavilion is hidden in a contiguous old house in Chiyoda District. It is said that in order to be able to take it down, it was bought at one go and built together with five households.

This is not something that ordinary energy can easily do.

After the renovation, each has a courtyard, but it looks like an ordinary house from the outside.

Tao Zhiming was already waiting here, chatting with Kono Miki and Xishui.

Kono Miki is of course familiar with managing such a place, and the three sisters of Xishui also come here in turn to manage the geisha provided by Qingtian's family. Others can't even tell the difference between them, and they are collectively called Tao Shuang.

"The president is really a person who takes pity on you." Kono Miki looked at Xishui with a little envy in her eyes, "Now you also have a surname and a formal identity, and you are younger and cuter than back then. "

The eldest of the three sisters, Xishui, is now Tao Fang.She knew it was a Chinese name, and the neon pronunciation was very strange, but anyway, they were just Tao Shuang to the outside world.Although I don't know what Tao Zhiming wanted them to do, but just do it.

Tao Zhiming blinked and teased: "I met brother Xiufeng today, sister Meiji, he is now at a time of emptiness. Give him a son!"

Kono Miki didn't respond, she just said calmly: "Master President, don't make fun of me. If Kinoshita-san really likes me, after so many years, it won't be fruitless."

"I'll continue to teach him later!" Tao Zhiming said with certainty.

"Then thank you in advance." Kono Miki smiled, "I am very grateful that the president can free me from there."

Tao Zhiming didn't say anything.

Today's Suying Shrine is still there, but under Tao Zhiming's persuasion, at least Kinoshita Hidekaze and Kono Miki have nothing to do with it.

It was only later that he learned that although the Suzakura Shrine was run by the Inagawa Society in name, the Inagawa Society only accepted people from various financial groups who were from Hoshino Suzu's background. A place for those who need it.

Now Inagawa Association is becoming more and more formalized and is gradually trying to get rid of this industry.

Anyway, Kono Miki was fished out by Kinoshita Hidekaze first.

Kinoshita Hidekaze's feelings for her are very strange, and I don't know if she minds her background. In short, it's irresponsible to lift up her pants, and she always plays on the second and third floors under her nose.

But anyway, I helped her back then, letting her only take care of the first floor and arrange guests to play, without having to accompany other people.

In fact, she is also old, and others are not willing to ask her to accompany her.

While speaking, Hashimoto Taro arrived.

Tao Zhiming heard the geisha's return, and walked to the courtyard over there.

Entering the courtyard over there, this entry is nameless.

Five courtyards, tea, flowers, books, swords.The other one is unknown and not open to the public.

For those who are not well-leveled, they think that this restaurant has only four courtyards.

Tao Zhiming arrived in the courtyard and turned around the corridor. Hashimoto Taro was sitting under the eaves watching the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

"Master Hashimoto, it's cold, why are you sitting outside?"

Hashimoto Taro stood up and greeted Jianli: "The air outside the house is fresher."

Tao Zhiming smiled, and stretched out his hand to invite him into the room.

"At a time like today, Hashimoto-sama still took the time, it really frightens me." Tao Zhiming entered the room, asked him to sit down and began to warm the wine, "Is it because of the Rikulut incident? I asked my lord father Yes, he asked me to rest assured that there was no evidence of what Iwasaki Kuranosuke arranged at that time."

Hashimoto Taro shook his head: "One clue from Riculut is enough, and that's not what I'm worried about."

"Where is Itoyama-sama? Still on the way?"

"It should be here soon."

"Then wait for him first." Tao Zhiming asked first instead, "Master Hashimoto, I heard that Sane Yesang is insisting on raising interest rates now, which makes us operators very worried. With the advantage of being a safe-haven currency, foreign funds have withdrawn, and ordinary citizens have begun to reconsider expanding their savings under the high risks of the stock market and foreign exchange market, and the liquidity in the market is even more lacking.”

Hashimoto Taro smiled instead: "What? Tao Jun's funds are tight now?"

"It's tight!" Tao Zhiming sighed, "You must also know that at the home port of yachts in Tokyo, although I am only responsible for building my dock, the hotel and the commercial street next to the home port are built by President Tsui and I. Jointly built, he bears the main funds, but the construction speed of the wharf is very fast, and my yacht will be ready by the end of the year. In addition, 5 headquarters buildings in Tokyo and Osaka have been completed in the past year, and 3 more A golf course, half of Hokkaido's Cultural Industry Park has been built, and I spent a lot of money at Neon in the past year or so. But now there is a national funeral... hey."

He looks like it will be difficult for the next two months.

Hashimoto Taro also said with emotion: "Tao Jun has indeed invested more than 4000 billion yen in the past year, and the construction speed is so fast. Not only Governor Suzuki, but also Master Takegami are very grateful to you for driving related industries. "

"So, we must not raise interest rates now!" Tao Zhiming said melancholy, "If my dance hall, KTV, and golf and yacht sectors still have a stable cash flow, I can barely support it. Mr. Hashimoto , golf and yachts, should be fine, right?"

"of course."

"What about the dance hall and KTV?"

Hashimoto Taro smiled: "You and Dentsu are also very close, please ask them to take care of the media not to report on you, just keep a low profile."

Tao Zhiming seemed very moved, and then sighed: "Forget it, at least let's take a rest this week."

At this time, Eitaro Itoyama also arrived.

He came in and said, "I heard you ordered a batch of limited-edition pure gold and diamond-encrusted clubs?"

"...Itoyama-san, do you want to do the same?"

Eitaro Itoyama sighed: "Unfortunately, in my capacity, it is inconvenient to encourage this kind of atmosphere."

There are advantages and disadvantages. Although his main industry before entering politics was golf, but now his family's golf course cannot follow the trend of the times to engage in these moves.After all, he now has a political status, so everything should be kept low-key.

After sighing, he asked, "Why do you want me to come too? Is it related to the development of the deputy capital? Isn't Mr. Tao one of the first batch of people who most enthusiastically supported this plan?"

Hashimoto Taro shook his head.

When all the people arrived, the geisha began to present dishes here one after another.

Since it was Tao Zhiming's restaurant, Hashimoto Taro no longer shy away from it, and asked frankly: "Tao Jun, can you contact the Tao family now?"

Tao Zhiming's heart moved, and he asked puzzledly: "Hashimoto-san, it's not that...you need to contact me through me, right? Although I know one of them, since last September, he left Nihong, it seems The contact information has also been changed."

Hashimoto Taro kept looking into his eyes, but didn't say anything.

Tao Zhiming asked, "Why do you want to contact the Tao family?"

Taro Hashimoto looked at Eitaro Itoyama, and then said calmly: "We are also very puzzled about why the Rikulut incident has been escalating. Mr. Tao, if you know something and are willing to tell us, I would be very grateful. If you now If funds are tight, as the Prime Minister, I can find a way for you."

Tao Zhiming smiled wryly and said, "I really don't understand what you want to know. Ya Renjun and I have not been in touch for several months."

Hashimoto Taro stared at him: "You already have a lot of property in the United States, do you know the important figures of the American consortium?"

Tao Zhiming looked back in astonishment: "You mean, the Rikulut incident...has another purpose? If they have, this incident has been going on for half a year, so it should be brought up!"

Hashimoto Taro remained silent.

Tao Zhiming frowned, pouring wine for the two of them while pretending to be thinking.

When he paused while pouring the wine, Hashimoto Taro hurriedly asked, "What did you think of?"

Tao Zhiming slowly put down the jug, and said hesitantly: "Speaking of which, the president of Citibank called me not long ago. Didn't Sony want to acquire the shares of Columbia Pictures? Mr. Jamie Dimon knew about me and the Mitsui consortium. There is also a cooperation, he asked me to find out how much Sony can pay..."

"What's your idea?" Hashimoto Taro's eyes flashed.

Tao Zhiming looked at the two of them, and said leisurely: "Before, Mitsui had spent more than 6 million yuan to buy the Exxon Building. Later, he said that he would increase the allocation of overseas assets from 10% to 20% .Sony is the core company under Mitsui, and I also heard from Iwasaki-san that Mitsubishi is also negotiating to buy the Rockefeller Building..."

Hashimoto Taro and Itoyama Eitaro's faces darkened, and they remained silent.

Tao Zhiming came to the conclusion: "I am afraid it is to weaken the strength of the consortiums in the Neon land."

When he said that, he looked terrified: "My capital chain!"

"These guys!" Hashimoto Taro slapped the table heavily.

Tao Zhiming watched him angry silently.

Of course I was angry, the relationship between the political arena and the consortium is inseparable. Now that the Neon Consortium knows that the American capital has raised the scythe and is planning to harvest the assets of the Neon domestic, how can they pay such a premium at this moment and pay the real money first? Invest abroad?

When the neon economy collapses, the consortium's domestic business will be severely damaged, and foreign assets can only be sold at a low price.

Now, under pressure, the major consortiums of Neon have made some gestures and allocated funds abroad.

Foreign capital is pouring into Neon, but the funds of the local consortium of Neon are going out. Of course, it means to deploy overseas, but the important thing is the ratio.

At this moment, will the consortia be willing to continue to pinch their own necks for the sake of the life and death of this cabinet?

Taro Hashimoto figured out this truth in an instant, and looked at Tao Zhiming.

Tao Zhiming picked up his wine glass and said solemnly: "The situation has already begun to be critical. Master Hashimoto, Master Itoyama, I have actively responded to the development plan of the Fuduxin. I did not expect this situation to come so soon! Please also see my contribution Come on, be sure to help me!"

Chapter 411: They Are All Diggers

Hashimoto Taro actually needs to use Tao Zhiming to try to see if he can contact the Tao family, and then tactfully point to the question about the purpose of the Omi Consortium, which reveals a lot of information.

First of all, the Likulut incident is not an official request of the United States, and it must have been communicated through formal channels.Since Takegami took office, he has mediated sanctions and implemented reforms, such as relaxing restrictions on corporate capital investment in the bond market and consumption tax, which are beneficial to foreign investment.

Second, it was not done by political opponents.If it was just a palace fight within their party, they wouldn't have come to him to ask about the situation, nor would they be asking about the Tao family.

Again, it shows that the situation is already critical, and now the clues may have pointed directly to Takegami himself, and may even affect other important figures, causing fundamental problems in the dominant Democratic Liberal Party.

Finally... Tao Zhiming recalled that three prime ministers changed this year, and then the stock market crashed at the end of December this year.

What does political turmoil mean?

It means the tug-of-war and chaos of the top-level forces, with no time to care about the corners of the economy.

Tao Zhiming, who already holds 4.58% of the shares of Nihong Economic News Agency, and holds a total of 29.8% of the shares of TV Tokyo through Sanyou Investment Bank and Dimensional Culture, has not waited for Tao Yaren to say in the past year The real next mouth of Neon Economic News Agency.

Now, a lot of things are coming together.
