Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 336

Yasuhiro Nakane, Kanshinmaru, and Toshiro Kawamoto looked at each other, and then said: "Don't place your hopes on this incident to stop quickly. Prepare for the worst. The bottom line must start from the election of the Senate. Those in the opposition cannot People get opportunities. For this goal, everything can be compromised between us! Mr. Takegami, you have to be mentally prepared."

Takegami nodded silently, smoking a cigarette.

"If the situation is really that bad, it is time to have frank exchanges with some key people so that latecomers can steer the ship of the country that is about to sail into a huge storm. If necessary, victims need to be prepared."

"Sacrificial? Who is sacrificed?" Takegami looked at the crowd, "Who do we want to protect and who do we give up?"

"The neon at this moment is like a giant running at the limit speed! Finance is like blood, flowing at an extreme speed; real estate is like muscle, already tired. We know that there are weapons waiting ahead, so we should try our best to adjust Stance, strive to meet those non-lethal parts!"

Jin Shinmaru said sternly: "In such a situation, the sprayed blood and torn flesh are the bait! We will regroup and heal after we can rest peacefully!"

These words plunged the room into a long silence.

Kiji Miyazawa, who had been silent for a long time, said: "I have been in the Ministry of Finance for many years. The current situation is not just one consortium, but the size of two consortiums can calm down this turmoil. Each of them is very aware of the current situation. Who will be sacrificed and whom will be preserved?"

"So, everything can be compromised between us! If we have our full help, even if we give up half, as long as we can get the support of the other half, our position will not be shaken!"

On the eve of the bursting of the neon bubble era, three generations of people are planning a big drama for their future.

Among them, various endless joys and sorrows have been buried in advance.

Chapter 425: Here, the Future of Neon is Determined!

In the last few days of January, many corners of Tokyo were full of people communicating and plotting.

On this day, Tao Zhiming first arranged the work plans of the various clubs under the Peach Club for this year, and was waiting for important guests in the headquarters building of the Peach Club and the floor where Sanyou Investment Bank belonged.

"Minfu, the executive parking area over the underground garage is temporarily closed, guard the elevator leading directly to the headquarters."

Toshio Ogata accepted the order awe-inspiringly and went to work.

"Jiumina." Tao Zhiming looked at her again, with solemn eyes, "I'll let you attend today's meeting. But remember, you can't mention any word you heard here today to other people."

Feeling his unprecedented solemnity, Maehara Kumina couldn't help beating her heart: "Then...wouldn't it be better for me not to participate?"

"No, you want to participate!" Tao Zhiming stepped forward and hugged her, and said in her ear, "It's been almost three years, and I will trust me like this in the future, so that I can trust you like this. After today, you have to do it for me Get stronger, get stronger. This Neon, you're going to be one of the most powerful women in business!"

Maehara Kumina was shocked: "Which guests are coming..."

Tao Zhiming let go of her, and raised his head slightly: "Today, people who control nearly [-]% of Nihong's wealth and more than half of Nihong's political power will come. Today, the future of Nihong may be here Decide on a direction!"

Maehara Kumina looked up at him, her eyes full of admiration.

What kind of heroic words is this?

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Help me tidy up my tie, and then, take the design materials sent by Mr. Bei to the meeting room."

……

As usual, Anzhai Shanwei's car drove into the underground parking lot of the headquarters building of the Peach Club.

It was not the first time Anzai Zenue's car came to Sanyou Investment Bank's monthly shareholder meeting.

Today, after his car drove to the underground parking lot, he saw a person not far away remove a roadblock on a passage, reached out to invite him, and then bent down.

The car moved forward at a constant speed, and soon after, I saw a person standing at the door of the safe passage ahead, who was Tao Zhiming's bodyguard who often accompanied him.

Following Toshio Ogata's slightly bent waist, the car stopped in front of him.

Toshio Ogata took two steps forward and helped open the front passenger door.

After Anzhai Shanwei got out of the car, he immediately went to the back seat and opened the door, bent down and said, "Please be careful."

Atsuji Kitagawa and Naruya Sumitomo, who had been present on the day Iwasaki Kuranosuke conferred the head, got off the bus.

"Thank you." Sumitomo Naruya smiled at Toshio Ogata with a pleasant expression.

"I want to continue waiting here for other people, so I can only ask Lord Anzhai to take the two adults up."

"As it should be."

The three walked to the elevator, the car drove forward, stopped in one place and stopped moving, and the driver did not get out of the car.

And Toshio Ogata continued to stand there like a door god.

In a short time, a car drove up.

There are Ueda Masahiro and Kinoshita Hidekaze, whom Toshio Ogata is very familiar with, but there are also faces that make his heart tremble.

With Sanyou Investment Bank's monthly shareholders' meeting, in the past, only one person would get out of the car, and there would always be a few more people in it.

After a while, an ordinary car also drove over.

After Toshio Ogata stepped forward, Reiko Ishibashi got off the co-driver, and the two people who got off the back seat were Hashimoto Taro and Suzuki Shunji.

The Minister of Finance and the Governor of Tokyo came hand in hand, and Toshio Ogata looked down at the ground respectfully and led them to the elevator.

This is the last batch of people.

In the sight of bending over, the elevator door slowly closed, and then there was the sound of climbing upwards, and Toshio Ogata let out a long breath.

After walking out quickly, he took out the walkie-talkie and said to the people outside: "Xiao Bansang, everyone has arrived."

"I understand. I will isolate that area."

Toshio Ogata went back to look at the elevator. After the number on it showed that it had stopped at the corresponding floor, he waited for 5 minutes and closed the elevator.

Then he fell silent again, standing there firmly, waiting for instructions.

……

The conference room of Sanyou Investment Bank is a large circular conference table.

At this moment, Tao Zhiming had already asked them all to sit down.

Undoubtedly, Taro Hashimoto sat in the most important position farthest from the door, and Shunji Suzuki sat next to him.

Maehara Kumina was secretly startled, as one of the only women in the entire meeting room, and she was the host, so naturally she had to take on the temporary service work and deliver tea to every guest.

Those who attended this meeting were really as respected as the chairman said, and their status was incredible.

Naruya Sumitomo, the helm of the Sumitomo Foundation, and Atsuji Kitagawa, the current chairman, are competing for Yoshie Anzai to be the next chairman.

Corresponding to the Mitsui Foundation, Shinichiro Mitsui has arrived, and the current chairman Yukihiro Miyata, and Tatsuo Nojima, who is also competing for the next chairman.

Among the other shareholders of Sanyou Investment Bank, Master Ueda and President Kinoshita came alone, but Minoru Mori, a shareholder of Sanyou Investment Bank and Mori Trust, did not come.The people who came over were Iwasaki Ryunosuke from the Mitsubishi Iwasaki family, Mori Taikichiro and Mori Aki from the Mori family.

And the most shocking ones were the Minister of Finance Taro Hashimoto who arrived last, Governor Suzuki Shunji of Tokyo, and Reiko Ishibashi, the manager of the public welfare association in charge of cooperating with the Trust Charity Fund.

Recalling what the chairman said, Maehara Kumina was almost sure: If it wasn't inconvenient, maybe she would meet the prime minister here.

People from the three major financial groups came, and the most important people from the two financial groups arrived together.Such a lineup should be accompanied by the prime minister.

After delivering a round of tea, listening to them smiling and greeting each other, Kumina Maehara only felt nervous and wanted to go back to the chairman and sit down.

"After today, you have to become stronger for me, stronger..."

Thinking of what the chairman said before, Kumina Maehara tried her best to adjust her breathing and calm her mind.

What are they going to discuss next?

When Maehara Kumina also sat down, Hashimoto Taro said at the right time: "Everyone, let's listen to Tao Jun's introduction about the development ideas of the Shiodome land."

"I'm sorry." Tao Zhiming nodded, "Then I will introduce this project first."

Maehara Kumina didn't expect to enter this link directly, and immediately stood up and turned off the main light in the room after hearing this.

The projector had already been turned on, and all the people present held their breaths and concentrated. Some people also adjusted the direction of their seats to watch the images projected on the wall.

"Shiodome cargo transfer yard covers an area of ​​31 hectares. Ginza is in the north, Shimbashi Station is in the northwest, Shiba Park and Hamamatsucho next to Tokyo Tower are in the west, Hamarikyu Grace Garden is in the east, and Tokyo Bay is in the east Yes. When the national railway private reform plan was proposed the year before last, the value of this land was 2.7 trillion yen. Now, it is 10.2 trillion yen!"

The meeting room was very quiet, and Maehara Kumina looked at Tao Zhiming who was talking while walking to the projection screen, feeling his heart beating.

Real estate prices in Tokyo have risen by an average of more than 80% over the past three years, but that's an average.As for a whole piece of land in Minato-ku, especially Shiodome, under the trend of skyrocketing real estate prices in Tokyo, with the support of the Fukutoshin Project and the completion of Mogami Gokurakucho, the price has risen by nearly 4% in just two years. [-] times.

Tao Zhiming looked at Ryunosuke Iwasaki, and suddenly smiled: "Iwasaki-san, if Mitsubishi took control of this land back then, I'm afraid it would be a headache now, right?"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke didn't expect him to mention himself suddenly, so he just smiled slightly.

And Sumitomo Naruya and Mitsui Shinichiro also sighed in their hearts when they thought about what happened that day.

At that time, I got it only for the huge benefits brought by China Railway East Neon, so I agreed to the condition that the future must be planned as a whole and not sold separately.

Now, the value of the land alone exceeds 10 trillion yen, and such a valuable piece of land is not dared to move now.They themselves are top consortiums, can they still use this land to mortgage financing from others?

Tao Zhiming controlled the atmosphere in the conference room, and then said solemnly: "Why do you start thinking about this land now? Everyone has communicated with each other in private before, so I won't repeat it. This land will sooner or later It must be developed, and now it is not the best time on the surface, but if you look at it from a higher position and a longer time span, it has new value.”

At this moment, Sumitomo Naruya, Mitsui Shinichiro and Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked at Hashimoto Taro together.

Facing everyone's gaze, his expression was calm, and he just said lightly: "Right now, the cabinet is just consulting you on how to deal with the changing situation in the future. Let me finish listening first, and go back to discuss with the Prime Minister and others."

Tao Zhiming nodded and said: "It's called 'Tokyo Kaguracho', extending from Hamarikyu Courtyard to the entrance of Tokyo's most prosperous port area, with finance, culture, media, and high-end consumption as its core industries, supporting the world's top high-rise residence. The design plan was completed by Mr. Pei Yuming, the designer of the Louvre in Paris and Xiayin Building in Xiangdao, and this is his last masterpiece before retirement!"

With a wave of his hand, the slideshow had switched to a panoramic rendering.

The angle of view is looking west from Tokyo Bay, across the green space of the Hamarikyu Courtyard in the foreground, the most conspicuous building in the renderings caught the eyes of all those present.

A high-rise building resembling a shrine torii, which is very special among neon cultural elements, stands on the west side of Hamarikyu Garden. Apart from it, there are only two high-rise buildings on the far left and the end of the entire plot.

"'Gate of Heaven'!" Tao Zhiming continued to introduce, "It is 162 meters high, which does not exceed the 210-meter air limit of the airport. The two twin towers have 24 and 25 floors and the top 30 and 31 floors. Horizontally connected corridors. Ladies and gentlemen, a giant torii gate stands on the shore of Tokyo Bay. Extending inland from the "Gate of Heaven" is Tokyo, one of the largest cities in the world. Total estimated cost: 1500 billion yen."

This is a core landmark building that Tao Zhiming built for the land of Shiodome.

A building that integrates top mansions, luxury consumption, vacation and sightseeing, and high-end business offices.

In this building named "Gate of Heaven", the roof on the top floor is even turned into a garden, which is a high-altitude playground.One on the left and one on the right, two helipads have been set up.

And the upper floor of the lower overhead gallery is planned to be a restaurant in the sky.

The two sides are cylindrical towers mainly decorated with glass. The "Shimagi" at the top and the "Guan" in the middle are still in the same design style. The outer edge is decorated with gray and black steel.

This building with an extremely eye-catching visual style immediately made everyone in the conference hall open their mouths.

Suzuki Shunji was the most itchy, but he couldn't help asking: "Can this structure... be built? It's 162 meters high..."

Tao Zhiming replied with a smile: "Since Mr. Pei designed this way, of course he has considered these issues. Now, I already have the complete building construction design drawings here. For the sake of structural strength, a more beautiful shape was sacrificed. Between the two towers The distance between the torii gates is not as wide as the well-known torii gates. There is only a small opening in the middle of the kangaroo and the Kasagi, which looks like a hollowed-out forehead.”

To put it bluntly, this building is a bit like the later "long trousers building".It's just that it incorporates more torii elements in its shape.Adding the name "Gate of Heaven" actually kind of pokes the confidence and pride of Neon people.

But Ryunosuke Iwasaki murmured: "'Gate of Heaven', Mr. Tao, it is a bit meaningful to start such a project at this time."

Tao Zhiming understood what he was referring to.

The entire Kaguracho, including this "Gate of Heaven", the meaning of this project at this moment is to make a game.

Those who will be buried in this project will probably include many real estate tycoons, some banks, and finally implicate some financial groups...

"It is said in "Ancient Matters" that because Amaterasu hated her younger brother Susanoo, he hid in a cave and blocked the entrance with stones. There will be no sun in the world since then." Tao Zhiming suddenly talked about the neon A fairy tale, looking at the crowd, said, "The 800 million gods in the world thought of a way to build a tall bracket, put all the roosters and birds on it, and let them sing together. The Great God Amaterasu was curious and pushed it away. The sumo wrestlers seized the opportunity to push the stone away, and the whole world saw light again."

After Tao Zhiming paused, he continued to speak seriously: "At this moment, although the sun is shining brightly outside, we all know that dark clouds and storms are sweeping in, covering the sky! Although we are not 800 million gods, But it can be used as a sumo wrestler! Isn't this the 'Gate of Heaven' that allows Neon to survive the crisis and see the bright future again, isn't it a good moral?"

Hearing now, Maehara Kumina actually still doesn't understand why this project has such an important role.

But when she looked around, the big figures in the conference room all had different expressions and began to meditate.

"The headquarters building of Sanyou Bank, the headquarters building of TV TOKYO, the headquarters building of Dentsu, the three-dimensional space of the Shiodome subway station, the flat-floor residences with sea views..." Tao Zhiming introduced each district of this Kaguracho one by one, and at the end Said: "This is my overall development plan for the land of Shiodome. At this moment, President Kinoshita and I will jointly fund and start the construction of the 'Gate of Heaven'."

"It will take at least five years to build such a building..." Taro Hashimoto stared at Tao Zhiming with sharp eyes.

Tao Zhiming laughed and said: "That is under normal circumstances. Now, I need to cooperate with all my strength. If the personnel, materials, and funds are sufficient, it is not impossible to create miracles. And the rest of Kaguracho, the most It’s best to start at the same time, and do the basic part with the least cost first. Only in this way can the top construction strength of Neon and the supply market of building materials be gathered with the greatest momentum.”

Sumitomo Narumi looked at him, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Slow down...the construction progress of some other projects that have just started now? Increase their capital costs?"

"Since it is a huge project led by Mitsui and Sumitomo, the two general trading companies will naturally lean towards this project in the supply of building materials."

Mitsui Shinichiro and Sumitomo Narimi looked at each other, and said in a low voice: "In this way, Mitsui and Sumitomo seem to be tortured by Shiodome's land, and the impression that they have to reap part of the rewards before there is a big problem in the real estate industry will also be lost in the real estate industry." established in the eyes of other consortiums.”

Tao Zhiming laughed: "So they will inevitably create some obstacles and slow down the progress of the entire project. In this case, the project 'Gate of Heaven' will be pushed out, and I will be responsible for it. risk, to ensure that this project is completed as soon as possible.”

Sumitomo Naruya continued: "For the overall Kaguracho project, Sumitomo and Mitsui's financing and capital injection for this project have reached their peak."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "I have to seek financing through other financial institutions, such as... Changxin Bank."

Maehara Kumina's heart skipped a beat and she looked at him.

Shinichiro Mitsui added: "You and President Kinoshita are fully committed to this project, and it will also attract some other people who are interested in real estate development to invest a sum of spare money in our project. They will not invest much, maybe just Billions of yen, at most tens of billions of yen. But there will always be a sum of money that will be invested in the Kaguracho project, looking forward to future returns."

Hearing them singing together, Hashimoto Taro, who pretended to be just here to hear the plan, was horrified.

A super-large project with a total land price of more than 10 trillion yen has absolutely eye-catching elements and gimmicks. Some people are willing to rush ahead and spend hundreds of billions of yen within two or three years. The resources of the two major consortiums are fully guaranteed, and Mitsubishi's A secret person is willing to bet here to obtain a part of the property management rights in the future, and many other real estate new rich who are not enough to participate in this overall situation will invest a sum of money and be trapped in this project.

Based on the development scale of the entire Kaguracho, just the development and construction investment scale on the land, the total amount is estimated to reach the trillion yen level.

Another mega-yen project in Tokyo, condensed on a mere 31 hectares of land, located in the last "golden virgin land" in the port area.

To the north is Ginza, to the west is Tokyo Tower, and to the east is Tokyo Bay.
