Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 159 He Won't Be a Good Husband (Subscribe)

   "What exactly did she do?" Ueda Masahiro remembered the emotions his daughter had never had in front of him before, the subsequent crying, and the indifference just now, and his voice sank.

"You'd better have a good chat with her." Tao Zhiming paused, "From my standpoint, I can't say anything about your decision. I also don't understand what the Sen family means to you. But For Shana, it seemed like the end of her life."

   Ueda Masahiro was suddenly suffocated, Shana, did you even tell him this?

   He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your concern for Shana. But this is what Tao Jun wants to talk to me about?"

"...I took the liberty." Tao Zhiming turned to the topic lightly, "As for the mortgage of the land, Mitsubishi is not good in terms of the conditions given to me. Although the land has been transferred to me, it was once I promised President Takeda that he would have the priority to redeem after four years. Therefore, the loan term I need cannot exceed four years. As a short-term loan, the interest rate given by Mitsubishi is too high. Moreover, the amount given is also Low. The current land is not the value when President Takeda mortgaged it."

Ueda Masahiro listened to his calm tone, and replied calmly: "That's why Suga-kun mentioned that as long as this matter can be completed, you will personally get a real estate in Shibuya, worth more than 1 billion yen. Tao-kun is not there Ready to start your own business? It's a great place to work."

"Lord Ueda, you don't understand, I'm not making decisions on behalf of Mogami Hengchan." Tao Zhiming's tone was equally calm, "It's not that Mogami Hengchan is up for sale, the decision on that land is in my hands. Therefore, Mitsubishi conditions The current premium purchase terms for the land that Zhonggi Moshanghengsan has made doesn't make sense to me."

   "...But didn't you say that the right to speak of your land in the national railway reform is entrusted to President Kinoshita?"

   "That's right, so what I'm talking to you about now is just from a commercial point of view, the value of that land for a mortgage loan."

   Ueda Masahiro thought it was absurd. If the land could not be used to profit from the private reform of the National Railway, why should Mitsubishi bother to move the land?

  The two were silent for a while.

   Just when Ueda Masahiro was about to say something, Tao Zhiming said, "Let me bring up an idea."

   "Tao Jun, please speak."

Tao Zhiming said slowly: "Any branch of the National Railways that wants to control the Shiodome Cargo Transfer Yard alone will have to face the opposition of others and make every effort to get the Shiodome Cargo Transfer Yard under the control of the liquidation group. I believe that for this As for things, everyone should have alternatives. They should include: union. Anyway, it's just an exchange of interests, exchange of shares, if the land in Shiodome is included in a branch, it can also benefit another national railway. Estimate the expected value of the scope of the branch's interest radiation, should we be able to reach a cooperation plan?"

   Ueda Masahiro did not speak for a while.

Tao Zhiming continued: "Because of Shana's relationship, I am willing to use the mortgage of my land as a bridge for this cooperation. Four years later, if President Takeda is unable to repurchase the land, he can sell the land to Mitsubishi at an appropriate price. ."

   Ueda Masahiro was shocked: "Sumitomo won't object?"

"So, Mitsubishi can discuss with Sumitomo how to exchange interests and ensure that everyone's core purpose has a higher chance of success." Tao Zhiming said meaningfully, "If Mori Group's Roppongi Hills can be privately reformed by the National Railways Isn't that what you and Mitsubishi expect?"

   "Tao Jun..." Ueda Masahiro looked at his daughter's room and said softly, "Shana told you, did she and Morijiro have a promise about the future?"

  Tao Zhiming was silent for a while before saying, "Yes. She said that you want her to be a noble lady with impeccable behavior."

   "It seems that Shana really considers you a friend." Ueda Masahiro said softly.

  Tao Zhiming was noncommittal: "She even asked me to help me to defeat Morijiro in business, so that you can see clearly that he is not that good."

   Ueda Masahiro was blocked again for a while, and looked at Ueda Xana's door without saying a word.

"Maybe you believe from the bottom of your heart that Morijiro is a good destination for Shana." Since Tao Zhiming has made a decision, he said calmly, "I also have confidence, in your eyes, I should also be an excellent person. young people."

   Ueda Masahiro looked back, his voice not wanting to be heard over there: "Tao Jun, do you like Shana? Do you want me to not have to make a choice so quickly?"

"No, it has nothing to do with your choice." Tao Zhiming said sullenly, "Xana helped me, so I chose to do her a favor. Take this as a test for Morijiro, I will try to be in business Defeat him head-on. Even if your choice won't change because of this, and you won't choose to listen to Shana's wishes, she will be willing."

Tao Zhiming sighed: "You taught her swordsmanship, it should be understandable, she is very proud. In any case, she will try to swing a sword and fight for her own destiny. Even if it fails, the rest of her life will My heart can also be calmer. Now, it should be more appropriate for me to act as this sword than for her to do anything herself?"

   Ueda Masahiro whispered: "Try to bring her hope, and in the end, I will kill her hope myself. Do you think this ending will not make her more desperate? Maybe then, she will be more extreme."

  Tao Zhiming said categorically: "That is your responsibility, you are her father. I will not give her hope, I know your identity and my own identity."

   Ueda Masahiro was startled to realize that he had actually chatted so many things with such a young man.

  What is it that makes him unknowingly forget that he is only his daughter's classmate, the man she has already fallen in love with?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lowered his voice a little depressedly and asked: "What does it mean to not give her hope? This is the kind of conversation I had with me! You don't look like a young man who hasn't understood human hearts at all! You say that, yes Someone who has understood Shana's mind. Don't try to play with her mind!"

"Playing?" Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly, "Sir Ueda, am I not being very frank with you now? I said, you can't accept me, I have this consciousness. Besides, since you have already planned a future for her, Let her understand that there are a lot of things in this world that you can't ask for, isn't it better? In the face of fate, you always have to compromise all the time. "

He paused before saying, "Actually, she said something to me today that made me associate with her. You should understand what that means for your proud daughter, who I cut off immediately. This hope. I will definitely do it to defeat Morijiro, because at that moment Shana's eyes made me feel very guilty. You are right, Shana may have just started to like me, but the firm love It's not like that, she just used me as a life-saving straw."

"Probably because after visiting you, she judged from your words and actions to me that you are also more recognized for me, so she has such a move. But she doesn't understand, you will not accept it anyway. Mine. That's why I firmly rejected her and let her show the look that no one in the world is protecting her. Even as a classmate, this guilt drove me to agree to her last condition. That is, No matter what, let Morijiro taste the taste of failure."

Tao Zhiming's voice finally calmed down: "Please tell Specialist Suga and think about my plan. As for the Mori family, the Roppongi Hills plan will not conflict with this, and the Mori family's core business of real estate will be even stronger. Yes. And Morijiro, since you are optimistic that he will take over the Mori family in the future, it should be a kind of growth for him if I bring him some setbacks and lessons, right?"

   Ueda Masahiro laughed dumbly: "Tao Jun, are you so sure of defeating him?"

   "I am always confident in myself."

   Ueda Masahiro slowly exhaled and said calmly, "Let's go and do it. Let me see how much you can make him lose."

  Tao Zhiming was a little stunned, and then said thoughtfully: "Is that so... Then, I'll wait for your opinion from Mitsubishi. Good night, Ueda-sama."

   Ueda Masahiro slowly put down the phone and walked to the door of Ueda Xana's room.

   He stood there for a long time without moving, and finally knocked on the door: "Xana."

   Ueda Xana opened the door, but did not invite him in, but said, "Do you want to ask about the process?"

   Looking at his daughter's indifferent face, Ueda Masahiro silently shook his head.

"I just talked about my engagement with Morijiro, and my dislike for him, but not what you promised to Mitsubishi. By asking him to help me defeat Morijiro, I deceived him with a performance. He said that although he was very It's embarrassing, but I will try to convince you to take his shot as a test for Morijiro."

   Ueda Masahiro's eyes were complicated.

   Silly daughter, can't you think of being that kid?

   Confess what? Following my request, did you impulsively release your inner bondage? You, who always wanted to be proud, suddenly saw that something was wrong with him.

   He even guessed that it was my request for you... Morijiro is a man with high eyes and low skills, cute and stupid, and he is the man you can control.

If    falls on Tao Dalang's hand, one day he tells you that the sun will rise from the west in the future, and you may believe it.

   He will not be a good husband. He has a demon-like insight into the human heart, as if he has seen all kinds of people in this world.

   "Shana..." Ueda Masahiro said, "Give Dad a little more time, okay?"

   Ueda Xana looked at him in amazement, what time?

   Ueda Masahiro stretched out his hand to touch her head, but stopped.

  What if you can't succeed?

   Then it's up to her.

  On her own, she must be a strong-hearted person.

   So he withdrew his hand and just smiled reluctantly: "Thank you..."

   Ueda Xana's anticipation suddenly faded, and he bent down and said, "This is my duty. Good night, Father."

  The door was closed from the inside, Ueda Masahiro stood for a while before slowly walking towards the practice room.

   There is always something that needs to be done.

   There is only one daughter left in the Ueda family, and there are some things that can only be done by him.

   Apart from this, what other way is there to fulfill his final responsibility in the family and the country?

  Shana won't be a kid forever.

   One day, she will understand.

   It’s enough to give him some more time. After planning for almost a year, there will always be a result before next year.

   Ueda Masahiro's back gradually straightened, and when he entered the practice room, he picked up a short real sword.

   Then he sat down, motionless, followed by a sudden Iai.

   As if there was someone sitting and talking in front of him who wanted to take his life unexpectedly.

   He went back and forth like this, practicing one by one.

   After a while, he stood up and put on his long sword.

   This time it was his sword drawing, and then his real kendo skills.

   In the practice room, there is a flickering of cold light from time to time, and there is a sound of the blade breaking through the air. Otherwise, there is silence.

  …
