Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 460

Akina Nakamori probably understood what was going on, so she occasionally looked at Tao Zhiming with hatred.

Tao Zhiming enjoyed watching their little expressions of anger and shame.

The happy time seemed short-lived. After Tao Ran returned to Tokyo, everyone was ready to go home.

Tao Zhiming stood on the deck and waved to them: "Come on! The music video should be filmed well!"

Izumi Sakai walked with Akina Nakamori and looked back at his figure in the setting sun.

"Really! Didn't I say don't admit defeat?" Akina Nakamori hated iron and steel, staring at Tao Zhiming and muttered, "It's despicable to use this method to compete with me for a cute girl!"

"...What nonsense?" Sakai Quanshui held her arm with a sweet heart, "Anyway, no matter what, we are together!"

"Say yes!"

"Well! It's agreed!" Sakai Izumi replied with certainty.

She and herself are nothing more than dry corners in their hearts, hoping for a sustenance.

Back home, Izumi Sakai opened the drawer and quietly looked at the diary inside.

After a long time, it was taken out and spread out.When he picked up the pen, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

I brushed my hair and started to write.

The mood of 25 years old is different from that of 22 years old.

……

From the perspective of Izumi Sakai, there were only two events in the second half of Heisei [-].

The first is the production and release of the Wander Star All-Star Album, as well as a series of performances related to it.There is no doubt that his full-strength shot brought a sensation.Every singer who has a song on this paper album has received a lot of letters.Many people talked about how they gained strength from that song through text, expressing that they must persevere no matter what.

The tour performance is designed to be of a public welfare nature. Not only are some of the seats at the scene selected by lucky audiences purely through letter selection, but the income from the rest of the paid seats is also used to set up a charity fund.

The second thing is related to Tao Zhiming.

Izumi Sakai began to take the initiative to pay more attention to his affairs.

The "Wander Future" charity fund he initiated is a special assistance fund for needy families, mainly for unemployment assistance.After Tao Zhiming initiated this charity fund through this album, Iwasaki's house also joined in, which led to more wealthy people and assembly clubs joining.

Although Tao Zhiming told her that the fund can still benefit from financial management and investment, in Sakai Quanshui's view, the fund has indeed done a lot of charity.

In conjunction with this, there is also a new club established by Mogami Best and Iwasaki's House, which specializes in cost-effective general consumer goods, and plans to open chain stores in all neon.Supply factories, 24-hour convenience stores, and urban brand stores with richer products have also stated that they give priority to hiring unemployed workers.

Seibu Holdings, which sold off a lot of assets, reorganized after refunding the advance payment to the first batch of customers who subscribed for apartments in Osaki New Town.The construction of Osaki New Town has restarted, and this time it will not be sold as existing houses until it is completed.The specific price will be announced after completion.

Real estate prices in Tokyo continue to fall, and there are still many people who have gone bankrupt due to excessive loans.After the business at the bottom of the Gate of Heaven officially opened, no matter how many precautions were taken, it was still impossible to prevent some people from choosing to commit suicide there.

Because of the high number of suicides, real estate prices in Heaven's Gate have dropped even more than elsewhere.Now, there are no longer so many people accusing Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Hidekaze that they vigorously promoted the construction of projects like Kaguracho and pushed up housing prices.

In addition, Tao Zhiming has been questioned and investigated several times because of the appalling "Ogami Sewing Case".A woman who started accumulating wealth by so-called "divination" finally got a total of nearly 3 trillion yen in loans.And she passed on the miraculous "Gold Touch Art" in Kansai. It turns out that there is a big reason why she can maintain her capital turnover for a long time because she has obtained stable income through Onodera's wealth.

It is also believed that Tao Zhiming may have participated in the transfer of funds for the 5000 billion yen purchase of several floors of the Gate of Heaven.

A wave of ups and downs rose again, and then the "General House" case related to Takaya Koike broke out again.The four major securities companies were all involved. Even knowing that Takashi Koike also had an extreme background, Daiichi Kogyo Bank, Fuji Bank, etc. still lent tens of billions of yen to him. It is suspected that the general meeting of shareholders can be carried out more smoothly.

In addition, it is also because of the involvement of the "Society House Case", another extreme figure, Fukumoto Oo, involved in art bribery, money laundering and other cases.This time, some officials from the cabinet, especially the Ministry of Finance, were directly involved, not to mention some directors of the consortium.The first to bear the brunt are the Yamaguchi group Watanabe who has a close relationship with Fukumoto, and the Fuji Foundation's executive Watanabe Akira.

These two incidents are all related to Tao Zhiming.

Sakai Quanshui, who came home from get off work, was looking at Tao Zhiming at the press conference in the news.

"Mr. Xiaochi has indeed invested 50 billion yen in wealth management products in Onodera Fortune, but Onodera Wealth just abides by a strict management system and manages wealth for customers. Whether there is a problem with the client's source of funds, Onodera Wealth is not an inspection agency, there is no such power to investigate."

Tao Zhiming defended to the reporter: "However, Onodera Wealth has signed a very clear agreement with all clients: If there is a problem with the source of the client's funds, the legal risk arising will be borne by the client. As long as a crime is involved, Onodera Wealth We will fully cooperate with the investigation, as we have always done in the past."

"As for the real estate that I bought at a low price from President Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, this is purely based on the financial situation of the Seibu Group, the choice made by President Tsutsumi. The finance minister of Seibu Holdings committed suicide at the gate of heaven, and now It was found out that he cooperated with Fukumoto and obtained the loan through false financial information, but this matter has nothing to do with me. Are there still many groundless accusations against me? "Weekly Bunshun" did it once two years ago!"

Tao Zhiming on the TV is calm and confident, looking at the camera majesticly: "Ms. Onoue bought the real estate of the Gate of Heaven, and the price of 5000 billion yen was reasonable at the time. Those are some of the best floors, and she has nothing to do with this offer." The objection, I can only understand that she is a return to Onodera’s wealth that has been generating income for her. Now those real estates belong to Ms. Onoue, and it is related to her case. Asset freezing, liquidation, auction, how to deal with it is up to the judiciary thing."

"It's still the same sentence: Onodera Wealth just manages money for clients. If Onodera Wealth intentionally damages the interests of clients, that is the responsibility of Onodera Wealth." Tao Zhiming looked around, "This is my response, the above."

The him on TV is completely different from the relaxed feeling on the yacht at that time.

Looking at his serious face and listening to the reporters' unrelenting questions, Izumi Sakai gradually understood what he said back then.

"My world is already very complicated, whether it's what I encounter in my career, or things related to women."

Izumi Sakai read the news and switched to another content, gritted his teeth and walked to the phone.

I wanted to ask him if it was really troublesome.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi sold so many assets to him for the land price, and Osaki New City accepted a capital injection from a friend of his in Kashima.

Ogami once entrusted him with funds of hundreds of billions of yen for financial management, and spent 5000 billion yen to purchase real estate at the Gate of Heaven.

Inagawakai, who had a close relationship with him, fought against the Yamaguchi-gumi in Kansai, and Takaya Koike, who had a close relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi, also had financial dealings with Onodera Fortune.

Let go of your mind and focus on Tao Zhiming's Sakai Quanshui, only to find that he is at the center of so many events.

After he got married two years ago, the Wenchunpao incident quickly subsided, and Sakai Quanshui, who had been silently paying attention for a while, was not as worried as he was this time.

The accusations against him have been going on for months, but now there are more and more incidents, large and small.

After thinking for a long time, she picked up the receiver of the phone, pursed her lips and began to dial.

"...Hello?" After the call was connected, she said, "I saw the news about the press conference just now... Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Tao Zhiming's voice was pleasantly surprised, "Are you worried?"

"...'There must be a conspiracy behind it', 'The problem is that the wealth of Onodera can't be found out', 'So many people commit suicide at the Gate of Heaven, and that's where Tokyo's real darkness lies...'I heard many such comments. "Izumi Sakai was a little worried, "Is it really all right?"

Tao Zhiming was very happy: "It's really okay. Although these things are complicated, everything is fine."

"Then... are many things really your plan?" Izumi Sakai still couldn't help asking.

Tao Zhiming was silent for a while before he said: "It is true to say so. So, the real battlefield is cruel and dark."

Sakai Quanshui trembled in his heart: "Then... will you win?"

"Sachiko-chan, do you want to care about these things?" Tao Zhiming asked.

Sakai Quanshui didn't answer. All she wanted to care about was the person on the phone.

Tao Zhiming continued: "Of course I will win. If things are really troublesome, how can I get along with Puchi Xingzi easily as Tao Jun?"

"...Well, it's just...just a concern from a friend!"

"Yes, yes, I feel this heart." Tao Zhiming's smiling tone made Sakai Izumi think of him, "Thank you, Sachiko-chan."

"……Good night then."

"Then I'll see you at Shikoku's concert, good night."

Putting down the phone, Tao Zhiming looked at Ueda Shana's sharp eyes and laughed mockingly: "What's wrong?"

"Is this enough?" Ueda Shana said bitterly, "Sachiko-chan?"

Tao Zhiming plausibly said: "This is just a title that allows everyone to communicate with each other more easily in the process of music creation!"

"Was the exchange just now about music?"

"...After all, if I get knocked down, Wander Star won't exist who treats the members so well. What's the matter with this?"

Ueda Shana kicked directly: "Asshole! Go sleep somewhere else!"

"...Then I'm going to Chiyo's room." Tao Zhiming was thick-skinned.

"...Come back!" Ueda Shana was upset, complaining naggingly, "Check it carefully, people always come here to commit suicide, this place is about to become the biggest haunted house in Tokyo!"

"Xia Na is afraid, isn't it?" Tao Zhiming smiled and hugged her tightly, and then rubbed her with his hands, "Calm down, don't be afraid, I don't have any evil spirits who dare to come here."

"...I'm really a little scared." Ueda Shana cried sadly, "Don't believe this! This building has been made into a torii again..."

Tao Zhiming's eyes lit up: "If you're afraid, why don't you let more people live in the house? That way even if I'm not around, the evil spirits won't dare to come."

"...Damn it, you bastard!" Ueda Shana gritted his teeth, stared at him and asked, "I have long thought that you are tempted by the spring water, are you finally going to attack her now?"

When I was on Rebun Island, I always aimed at Sakai Spring.

Tao Zhiming was not fooled, and had already started to fight: "I know you are afraid, as long as I am in Tokyo, I will only attack you! Don't wrong me."

Ueda Shana was out of breath soon: "You...you are...the biggest evil spirit!"

"It's a hungry ghost." Tao Zhiming corrected, "It's still a god. Don't worry, no evil ghosts dare to approach my residence."

Hungry ghosts haunt him, and Ueda Shana has nothing to do.

When the hungry ghost was full and lay beside him comfortably, Ueda Shana lazily hugged him, and then asked worriedly: "But now the price of the Gate of Heaven has fallen so badly, those wealthy friends who bought real estate back then , really don't blame you?"

Tao Zhiming didn't care: "What can you blame me for? Any investment is inherently risky. It's all your own choice! Besides, everyone has to look forward."

All are your own choice.

Ueda Shana also thought about this sentence, and sighed faintly.

The sun rose as usual, and the Gate of Heaven, which is Tokyo Bay to the east, was the first to be bathed in light as usual.

Tao Zhiming got up early in the morning and worked out in the exercise area by the swimming pool.

Downstairs, there was another police car there. It seemed that last night was also not peaceful.

Ueda Shina, who was covering Jiro Ueda's eyes, was about to go crazy: "There's another one!"

"……Get used to it."

"Who should get used to this kind of thing!" Ueda Shana thought that he would go out later, and Chiyo would also go to Wander Star to work during the day, so he panicked, "How about I go back to Kyoto?"

Tao Zhiming thought for a while and said, "If you feel scared during the day, it would be better if there are more people. Let Yosuke's wife come to chat with you?"

"...very restrained." Ueda Shana felt uncomfortable thinking about Takagi Yoko's restrained appearance.

"Then let Ling bring the child over to play?"

"Isn't it enough to solve this problem completely? Isn't there no way to prevent others from committing suicide here?"

Tao Zhiming nodded in agreement: "Okay, almost enough."

"……What's the meaning?"

Tao Zhiming put down the barbell: "It's time to completely turn the Gate of Heaven into your own property, so that others can't easily come to the high floors!"

Chapter 541 Anyone who sins against his woman will be deprived

Tao Zhiming deliberately allowed the security loopholes from the Gate of Heaven to the rooftop to exist, which was due to both emotional and profit considerations.

In ancient neon, when building certain important buildings, it was known as the practice of "personal imperial sacrifices". People, even living people, were buried or built into bases and pillars, which were called "human pillars".

For Tao Zhiming, building this building during the heyday of the neon bubble was a pleasure of personally participating in the harvest of the bubble.Tao Zhiming had expected that someone would commit suicide in a symbolic building like the Gate of Heaven.

Some people like to walk quietly into the suicide forest, so as not to "cause trouble" to others.

Others prefer a more flamboyant and presentable ending.

And this building was built overtime and overtime. At the peak of the bubble, relying on its influence in neon and the world, it fooled many rich people into buying real estate in high positions. Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Hidekaze had already made a lot of money.

Right now, housing prices themselves are collapsing. Gate of Heaven should have been a high-value real estate with a relatively smaller decline because of its landmark nature, location, construction quality, and business planning.

However, suicides are frequent here at Gate of Heaven, so the situation is different.

So Ueda Shana was worried.Naturally, the "owners" of Gate of Heaven couldn't bear the financial pressure and wanted to sell it.But the price here has dropped by more than [-]% compared to a year ago.

In the eyes of Ueda Shana, this is a "miserable" price drop, and he is worried that those wealthy friends who bought the house at the beginning would have opinions on Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Hidekaze.

But this is the situation that Tao Zhiming wants to create deliberately.

If it doesn't fall a little bit worse, how can he buy bottom at the lowest cost?

When the several floors that Ogami bought here for 5000 billion yen are auctioned and liquidated, the market price will naturally fall as hard as possible.

Tao Zhiming decided to add fire.

From October, on the small square downstairs of the Gate of Heaven, priests and witches from major shrines hold a "soul repression" ceremony every day.

Among them, there is also an onmyoji who claims to be summoning shikigami to fight against evil spirits.

Iwasaki Yokohisa is numb.

Is this still allowed to do business?

Although it looks like there is a performance every day, it is quite scary.

All of a sudden, a batch of new urban legends appeared in Tokyo, all related to the gate of heaven.

"Have you heard? Now at night, I heard that a hundred ghosts are walking around at the Gate of Heaven. President Tao invited so many onmyojis and witches to hold a hundred-day sacrifice because he lived there unbearably disturbed."
