Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 442 How much impact can a movie have?

Tao Zhiming was not the only one who had disappeared from Tokyo for so long, and it was not unknown, after all, Yasuko Sawaguchi was such a popular living person.

What's more, she signed a contract with Dongbao, and after leaving for so long, she always needs an explanation.

Yasuko Sawaguchi's manager and Dongbao's top management all know this statement.

Dongbao entered the film industry on the basis of Takarazuka Theater, and its full name is Tokyo Takarazuka.When Fuji TV was launched, Toho was also one of the main initiators.

Is it strong?Of course it is strong.After operating for more than half a century, the root system is intricate.

But who is Tao Zhiming?The more senior Dongbao is, the more he knows, so the less he will say anything first.

Even if he wanted to confirm the situation now, he had to wait for Tao Zhiming to meet with other more important people.

But Yasuko Sawaguchi is back after all, so he can ask her first.

"Jingzi, it's because you performed so well in "You Who Came from the Star", so I want to write a special script for you?"

For this matter, people who didn't need to come forward are here now.Yasuko Sawaguchi looked at Toho President Ikuji Ota and President Masahiko Nishino in front of him, bowed and said, "Yes."

"Then you have been with him all these days?"

"Yes." Yasuko Zeguchi remembered Tao Zhiming's instructions, and she didn't say too much.

"What kind of movie is it?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi shook his head: "Chairman Tao said that this film may still need to consult Mr. Uno's opinion. If it cannot get support, it may be stranded."

Ota Ikuji and Nishino Masahiko looked at each other, how could Prime Minister Uno be involved?

Masahiko Nishino looked at her, and finally asked: "Then, your personal relationship with Chairman Tao...Miss Sawaguchi, this is very important to the club, please tell the truth."

Yasuko Sawaguchi raised his head, looked directly at the two of them, then smiled and said: "Because of the special meaning that this movie needs to carry, if it can be filmed and released, I will never get married for the rest of my life. This is my decision !"

Ota Ikuji and Nishino Masahiko were speechless.

What kind of movie is this, and it has such a big impact?

At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me! There is important urgent news!"

……

"...The responsibility for the failure lies entirely with me. I have made up my mind to resign as Prime Minister and President..."

Seeing Uno Zongyou, who was crying on the live broadcast and could only bow incessantly in the face of reporters' questioning, Tao Zhiming shook his head with emotion: "It's only been two months..."

Tao Yaren on the opposite side looked at him strangely: "At such a critical moment, you actually went on vacation?"

"What else should I do?" Tao Zhiming spoke decisively, "They all know the strength of the Tao family in the neon media industry, and they always hope that I can help with something. I am in a dilemma, of course I have to run away!"

Tao Yaren smiled: "Yes, in fact, they probably know the reason. So what are you going to do when I have an appointment with you tonight?"

"I'm just entertaining for a while, what can I do?" Tao Zhiming was noncommittal, "Instead, it's about Nihong Economic News Agency and TV Tokyo. Because of the proposal of the Sanyou Foundation, what do you guys think now?"

For the United States, the construction of a new order for neon at that time focused on the confrontation with Hongsu.Therefore, the media fields have the deepest roots in Yomiuri and Mainichi.But now times have changed, financial capital has overshadowed industrial capital, the big ship of globalization has started, and Nihong Economic News has become a new target that must be controlled.

Tao Yaren looked at him deeply: "The important thing now is your position."

"My position is balance." Tao Zhiming had a polite expression, with a smile on his face, "Is it because I am worried that the shares I will hold will not support some of your needs? So, in the Sanyou consortium, everyone is an interest Community. As long as it is beneficial to me, how can I not support it? Rest assured, I am consistent with you when it comes to making a global layout and benefiting from global capital flows."

Tao Yaren looked at him, thinking about the strategy suggested by Li Jiacheng, and smiled: "That's right. Next, they should fully prepare for the offense and defense of the House of Representatives three years later. If they lose half of the House of Representatives again In terms of seats, the opposition party is about to come to power. Dalang, you should know that if the consortium still controls the neon economy so firmly, your ceiling in neon will only be so high."

Tao Zhiming raised his wine glass with a smile: "So you have to help me. Regardless of the next step to improve the right to speak on the phone through the Sanyou Foundation, now I have a little more forward idea. , Let’s hold a small share of shares with Dongbao. Then, find a way to take advantage of the changes in the stock market and become Dongbao’s major shareholder! Your 3 million yuan should also participate in this matter.”

"How to do it?" Tao Yaren's eyes moved.

"Toho's head office is in Osaka, and the Kansai side has enough fulcrums in this plan."

As soon as Tao Zhiming said it, Tao Yaren understood that the First Quanye Bank and the Industrial Bank over there were the hardest hit areas.

"Then there is Hankyu Electric Railway, which is one of the largest private railways in Kansai and the founding foundation of Toho." Tao Zhiming's eyes were burning. It is a large private railway, but they have not been able to enter the core information circle, and this time they will suffer a big fall. Each company has some scattered shares in Hankyu Electric Railway, and these can be used as trading targets at that time."

The so-called Dashou private railway refers to other private clubs operating railway business outside the original national railway system, and it is one of the better developed ones.Although these large-scale private railways basically have some shares of large consortiums, they can only be regarded as the second-level goods in the neon economic structure.Although it is also a giant, it is not enough to be called a giant like a consortium.

It's like Hankyu Electric Railway. After it developed at that time, it first established the Takarazuka Theater Company, and later developed a movie giant such as Toho.

But now, this club is being plotted by Tao Zhiming as a piece of meat with a clear goal.Although there is a little Yasuko Sawaguchi's factor in this, more of it is still helpful to Tao Zhiming's future grand strategy.

Tao Zhiming was talking about how to build momentum, so that more funds are optimistic about Hankyu Electric Railway and Toho, and then harvest at a low price after the stock market falls.When it's time to attack the other three major consortiums, they will be able to give up their scattered shares in Hankyu Electric Railway and Toho.In this way, through secret off-the-market transactions and the secondary market, coupled with the official invitation to Hankyu Electric Railway, which is in crisis, will the parent company of Dongbao want to protect the basic market or give up Dongbao?

"Why did you take Dongbao first?" Tao Yaren looked at Tao Zhiming and asked sharply.

Tao Zhiming replied naturally: "Does it need to be said? Dongbao now has many movie theaters, a lot of works, movies, TV series production resources, and a large number of well-known actors. Have you forgotten your mission? In the future of neon, we want to profoundly influence the thinking of the next generation through entertainment and culture. It is too rough to rely solely on the pressure exerted by advertisers like Dentsu. Hollywood’s content culture offensive is worth learning. I established Pantao Films and the construction of a film and television city in Xiangdao are all preparations for these things!"

Only then did Tao Yaren feel that some of the things he had done were linked together, and nodded unconsciously.

Dimensional culture is through books, magazines, comics, and animations, Wander Star is through music, and Pantao Movies is through movies and TV series.It seems that the Sanyou consortium he mentioned will be based on technology and culture, and it is indeed not a casual statement.

"Then how to create momentum?" Tao Yaren asked about the operation level.

Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "I planned a very good movie!"

……

The bosses gathered together again, Miyazawa Kiji looked at Uno Soyou, who looked ashamed and seemed to have aged many years in a short period of time, and felt sympathy for a moment.

He is also a fallen person in Tianya, and he is much more miserable than himself.

For people like them, the gold power deal is more embarrassing if it is exposed than this kind of sex scandal.

Uno Soyou is completely socially dead now, and has been degraded as scum by countless women. Not only is it impossible to be a political figure, but he is simply not worthy of being an ordinary man.

"Now, there are still three years to go! In three years, the people's confidence in us must be restored." Abe Taro seemed to feel that his health had improved a lot, and his voice was much louder.

Nakane Yasuhiro glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "To restore the confidence of the people in us, we need a person who not only needs to stand the test of his own image, but also needs to show enough courage and courage to solve the current situation. Some important questions."

Takegami, who had already retired from the front desk, looked at Hashimoto Taro, and said quietly: "I recommend Hashimoto-san to clean up the situation. Hashimoto-san's father has a reputation of being strong and honest; if Hashimoto-san comes forward, he will Awaken the memory of the young man who entered the political circle at the age of 26. Just 52 years old, he has a wealth of experience, praises such as economical and policy-savvy, and shrewd and capable swordsmanship. Hashimoto-san can represent our determination to reform Attitude!"

Taro Hashimoto was taken aback, remembering Tao Zhiming's hints to him, he quickly lowered his head and said, "As the secretary-general, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this defeat. Besides, the Ministry of Finance has just undergone changes, and I I just got a general grasp of the situation. The reelection of the central bank president is imminent, and there can be no major problems in the economy. So, please allow me to decline. Now is the time for everyone to work together. Please let me assist the new president in the economic aspect. !"

His humble resignation seemed righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was also very responsible, which really created a wave of impression points in the hearts of these old guys and bosses.

Jin Shinmaru said approvingly: "Everyone needs to have the stamina of Hashimoto-san. Regarding the candidate for the new president, this time we can no longer argue for the self-interest of the faction. If the re-election of the House of Representatives after three years is still defeated , Those guys will definitely form a coalition cabinet, trying to form a formal two-party situation! In order to prevent such a terrible future from happening, let go of the small calculations of those factions in your heart, and choose the most suitable person! Abe-san, what do you think? ?”

Abe Taro was just stunned by Nakane Yasuhiro, and now facing the inquiry of the president of the largest faction, how can he refute it now?

"Hemoto-san, I think that the Miki faction, which was called Green Miki back then, is also of great help to the current situation. Are you willing to take on this important responsibility?"

What Jinshinmaru asked was about Toshi Kawamoto, the leader of the Kawamoto faction, the former Miki faction who is the weakest among the five major factions.

He smiled and said, "I'm too old. Miki-sama also took over after a big scandal, but he resigned because he focused on purifying the political circle and dealing with corruption, which harmed everyone's interests. After the Rikulut incident, Well, Miki-sama just passed away at the end of last year, which really reminded many people of what he did back then."

Behind closed doors, he was speaking directly now.Although the others were embarrassed, they couldn't say anything.

Among the current major factions, Kiji Miyazawa of the Hongchi Society was the first to resign as the Minister of Finance because of the Rikulut incident, and it is absolutely impossible to come forward at this time; Soyou Uno, who was promoted by Yasuo Hongli, fell into such a situation in just two months.

The remaining two major factions are Abe Taro from the Qinghe Society, and Kawamoto Toshi from the original Miki faction.

But these two people are already very old, and their health is not very good.

Toshikawa's old eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said coldly: "There will always be people whose image can stand the test. However, Hashimoto-san is right, the focus now is on the economy! The two fields of finance and real estate How can we restrain the fanaticism now? Or should we simply listen to the advice of those guys from the central bank and start taking the initiative to break this situation? How many people’s interests are involved in this?”

The room was silent and extremely depressing.

Toshikawa continued: "If you still can't come up with an effective solution, and wait until a huge problem breaks out in three years, then no one can change the situation of losing the election at that time! If you want to come up with an effective solution, then the so-called concerted efforts, You can't just talk about it! There will be blood in this process!"

After everyone was silent for a long time, Takegami said: "The integration into four major consortiums, and then they will cooperate with the plan to revive the economy and carry out transformation. If all of them can be effectively implemented, it will become one of the effective methods. The key link."

"This link requires the full cooperation of the central bank. Hashimoto-san, Mie Nofu, won't support our 'financial sound' policy, will he? He will not agree to continue to further concentrate the important lifeline of the economy To fewer consortiums, reducing the vitality of the economy."

Hashimoto Taro remained silent.

When the economy is booming, we hope to repay the previous debts through tax increases, and at the same time hope to stimulate the economy and reduce government expenditures by making social capital more active and investing instead of public funds. This is the policy of "financial soundness" advocated by the government. .

However, some people in the central bank, led by Mie Yefu, believe that the central bank is the "gatekeeper of currency" and serves all the neon citizens.The exchange rate of the neon yen continues to appreciate, which has severely damaged the neon manufacturing industry, which in turn has affected the income of many nationals.He even violated the requirements of the Ministry of Finance three years ago and secretly operated to snipe the continuous appreciation of the neon yen, and he always criticized the risk of the current "bubble".

Kiji Miyazawa, who seldom speaks, said: "When I was the Minister of Finance, I told him: 'The interest rate policy is not the sole responsibility of Neon Bank. It must be communicated effectively with the Ministry of Finance'. Now he is in the Talking about continuing to raise interest rates, this can be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation. The current problem is not just how to improve the economy within Neon, he still understands this situation.”

Hashimoto Taro nodded approvingly: "For Miyazawa-san, Mie Ye-kun is more convinced."

This sentence made Miyazawa Kiji very ironic, it hasn't been this fun for a long time.

"Let's talk about the candidate for the new president." Toshikawa said noncommittally, "If you want us who are less factional to come out to clean up the situation, then I recommend Kaibu-kun."

"Minister of Education... Kaibu-kun?" Jin Shinmaru's heart moved, "He was married by Miki-sama. He is 58 years old. He is a very suitable age. He is known for his integrity and has a good image..."

Toshi Kaifu, who was nominated, wasn't even there at the moment.

Toshi Kawamoto said: "If Kaibu-kun is to come forward, everyone really needs to work together to support him! Especially Hashimoto-san, now the economy has reached the time when we have to come up with countermeasures!"

Hashimoto Taro nodded, and when he looked at other people with different expressions from the corner of his eyes, he secretly mourned for Toshi Kaibe.

Whoever comes forward to solve the current problems of the neon economy is equivalent to the person who detonated the bomb, and the danger can be imagined.

This is almost a term doomed to failure. The question now is only, can his actions save the reelection of the House of Representatives three years later?

Thinking of this, Hashimoto Taro said: "In addition to the economy, Tao Dalang raised an idea to me about improving the people's perception of us."

"Oh?" Takegami asked with great interest, "What is it?"

"A movie." Hashimoto Taro bowed to Uno Soyou first, "I'm offended, Uno-san, this movie is customized for the battle that those in the opposition party have set up against you."

Yunozong's face changed, wouldn't he want to flog the corpse?

"Tell me." Abe Taro didn't think it was a big deal.

"It's...a movie about geisha culture." Taro Hashimoto admired Tao Zhiming's analysis, and he accurately predicted that Toshi Kaibu, a small faction, would get the final election. Those in the opposition often criticize this point. Kaifu-san is known for his outstanding debate skills, and I suggest that since everyone has reached an agreement, it is better to hold a more transparent and open presidential election.”

Others wondered for a moment how a film about a geisha could be associated with a public campaign.

Hashimoto Taro continued: "This is a movie that reflects the life and destiny of a geisha..."

He briefly described the main plot of the story, and some of the points that will impress others, and then said: "With the help of this movie, the beauty and traditional cultural elements of the geisha group are shown, and people's awareness of this kind of geisha is enhanced. The impression of culture will impress many citizens. If the Ministry of Culture can cooperate well at this time and let everyone focus on the sense of honor and identity brought by traditional culture. Then people are actually attracted by beautiful geisha. It is also human nature, and everyone will understand this feeling."

Hashimoto Taro leaned to Uno Zongyou: "Uno-san, of course people will think of you through it. So you probably need to make a sincere apology, and from now on establish an image of protecting traditional culture and protecting the rights and interests of performing arts women .At the same time, all of us should probably make a gesture to draw a clear line from the so-called restaurant politics. In this case, it is also a manifestation of our determination to improve ourselves."

"...to draw a clear line from the restaurant, this..." Naturally, these bigwigs felt very embarrassed.

Hashimoto Taro said with a smile: "If you want to talk about something in a secret and safe place, there is always a way."

Nakane Yasuhiro looked at Uno Soyou, whose face was changing, thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Uno-san, this proposal is not bad. Although it takes courage, if it can be done, it may not be possible to usher in a day of change. "

Yuno Zong struggled in his heart, and after a long time he said: "Let me meet this Mr. Tao, and then make a decision!"

It is said that they want to draw a clear line with the restaurant, but Tao Ranting is welcoming an extremely important guest tonight.

Miki Kono stared at Tao Zhiming in a daze, thinking she heard it wrong: "You really want me to act in a movie?"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "Yes, together with Sayuri Yoshinaga and Yasuko Sawaguchi, let the world see the most beautiful and saddest side of geisha through their charm. Times have changed. From now on, let those girls Children are meant to be art ambassadors, not playthings at the banquet."

Mihime Kono stayed there listening to these words, remembering the first time Master Kinoshita took him to Suzakura Shrine.

Later, the three of Xishui were taken to his side, and the Suying Shrine became the current Taoranting, and everyone's lives changed.

Now, he brought up such an idea again.

Tao Zhiming blinked his eyes: "I will definitely give Sister Meiji a very stunning look, brother Xiufeng will be fascinated!"

Kono Miki's eyes suddenly fogged up, and she bent down: "I will work hard."

Chapter 443: A Hole in the Bowl of the Brain Is Such an Idea

At this moment, not many people know what kind of foreshadowing for the future someone wants to use a movie.

Even those who know it are underestimating the effect this movie will have.

Uno Zongyou's mood is the most complicated, but for a character like him, he can clearly distinguish it in his heart.

Nakane Yasuhiro is right, if there are no other changes, then for the rest of his life, he will probably become the person that everyone else is afraid to avoid, let alone the day of his comeback.

Nihong has served as the official prime minister several times, and apart from the royal prime minister who needs to perform special functions, only he has stayed in this position for the shortest time.Not only is the reason for his resignation so unbearable, but he also has to take the blame for the fiasco of the Senate reelection.

Seeing Tao Zhiming who proposed this idea, he needed a convincing reason.

Although he has announced his resignation, he has not yet handed over at this moment.When the current prime minister came here, Miki Kono felt extremely shocked.

In Tao Ranting's unnamed courtyard, the first sentence he spoke made Uno Zongyou so wronged that he wanted to cry.

"Master Uno, in fact, everyone knows that it was you who endured the heavy rain on the eve of this big storm on their behalf."

Even though Yunozong had ten thousand words in his heart that he wanted to express, he still said calmly on the surface: "Someone has to take responsibility, so it's because I didn't do a good job."

"I can't do anything about the previous inquiry. I'm really sorry." Tao Zhiming bowed and said to Uno Zongyou and Hashimoto Taro, "It seems that a real storm should be coming. After all, they There is no hope that the cabinet can be stabilized. Even if the next president will not be attacked like this again, after all, there will be another election for the new president in two years, and there will be a re-election of the House of Representatives in three years. The situation is difficult, and the political circle has not been quiet , the economic field cannot be effectively protected.”

Hashimoto Taro gave him a deep look. His previous suggestion was to wait until the storm had passed before coming forward to boost morale.It has been accurately judged that the major factions will nominate Toshi Kaibu. Such a character may be able to do so steadily in two years.But when the next president officially runs for office, will the other major factions sit back and watch the weakened original Miki faction grow again?
