Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 230 Iwasaki Kuranosuke

   "This one! That one! What do you want to do?"

  In a simple-looking courtyard in Setagaya Ward, Iwasaki Kuranosuke, the contemporary owner of the Iwasaki family, suddenly burst into emotion and threw the document on the carpet in a vent.

   Hirano Takao stood silently beside him.

   "It's a gaffe." After Iwasaki Kuranosuke took two steps, he calmed down and sat on the sofa, "Takao, sit down too."

   "Yes." Hirano Takao bent over and sat on the single seat beside him.

  Iwasaki Kuranosuke closed his eyes and asked quietly, "Sentai Yoshiro is really discussing this matter at the board of directors?"

"Indeed." Hirano Takao bowed his head, "Split the Mori Group. The uncompleted projects, including Roppongi Hills, will remain in the current Mori Building Group. The existing leased real estate and Mori Group's other assets and new businesses will be split. to the newly established Mori Trust Co., Ltd. He himself considered retirement due to his age and health. The proposal submitted is that Mori Minor will be the chairman of the Mori Building Group, and Mori Zhang will be the chairman of the Mori Trust, and will be independent from now on. Development. After the split is completed, Mori Building Group can consider listing.”

   "Where's Masahiro Ueda? Is he really that firm?"

"Yes... The letter of protest submitted to the chief of Dongda University was very strict, and the daughter was locked in the room, which was confirmed by Tokuo. The most troublesome thing is that the shares of Yuansen Group he held are all ready to be split. Mori Building Group after that. And all the shares he held in other Mitsubishi companies were entrusted to Mori Trust to exercise his powers on his behalf.”

  Iwasaki Kuranosuke slowly opened his eyes: "Knowing that the hearing on July 28 is very crucial for us, in this way of completely uniting against us in practical interests, let us make concessions?"

   Hirano Takao had no comment.

  After the split of the Mori Group, the assets that are urgently related to the private reform of the National Railway have all stayed in the Mori Building. The part of Mori Group shares held by Masahiro Ueda will of course have a higher proportion in the Mori Building after the split.

  Unless Mitsubishi completely abandons Mori Trust, which is not very important at present, it will be able to achieve an increase in the proportion of shares in the more critical Mori Building Group.

   Judging from this decision, the Mori family still wants to rely on Mitsubishi for development. Therefore, if you control the Mori Building, let's take control. The Mori family has another independent Tinder Mori Trust.

   But in turn, Ueda Masahiro entrusted all the shares he held in Mitsubishi Core Corporation to Mori Trust.

  If Mitsubishi goes too far with Mori Building Group, Mori Trust may cause trouble to other core Mitsubishi companies, and there will be constant dissenting voices in the board of directors.

Moreover... Sentaijirou also put forward a proposal in the name of his impending retirement: when the senior managers and directors above a certain level within the club are dismissed or removed, the compensation amount will be not small in cash according to the position, and allocated Issue pension options.

   seems to be an action for the benefit of the top management of the club, but it also sets up a new obstacle for Mitsubishi: if it really controls the Mori Building Group, then at least the management right of the Mori family needs to be guaranteed. Otherwise, if you want to kick out the Mori family, you have to pay extra.

   Hirano Takao kept silent, Iwasaki Kuranosuke stood up and walked slowly to the window, turned his back to him and said, "The plan for splitting is still being discussed?"

"Yes. Although the plan has not yet been determined, our opposition cannot prevent the split itself. This is what Ueda-kun and Morita Yoshiro planned together, it should be that night. The two rooms have the right to speak together, Enough to implement a split plan."

"It's a good way. I want to use us to push the Roppongi project forward, and I want to leave another seed. Is there a preliminary assessment? If the current shares are divided among the two clubs after the split, How much extra money will it cost to realize the controlling stake in Mori Building Group?"

   Hirano Takao immediately said: "According to the current split plan proposed by Sentai Yoshiro, it will probably cost at least 18 billion yen. This figure is based on the evaluation of the most favorable listing plan for us."

   "18 billion yen?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke sneered, "Sentai Yoshiro thought everything too well..."

"excuse me."

   There was a knock on the door, and Iwasaki Kuranosuke said, "Come in."

   "...Sir." After the visitor came in, he glanced at Takao Hirano but said nothing.

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, and the man walked over to him and whispered something in his ear.

   "What?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke's expression changed, and he suddenly turned to look at him, "Did you really say that?"

   "Yes, word for word!"

   "...you go out first." Iwasaki Kuranosuke stood there with a gloomy expression, and put his fingers in his mouth and bit unconsciously.

   Hirano Takao knew that this was his habitual action when he was thinking about difficult things.

   He didn't ask, because he wasn't sure if he should ask. If he should know, then Iwasaki Kuranosuke will tell him.

   "...Because of Ueda Masahiro's protest against Tao Dalang, the University of Tokyo was just led by Totsuka Shengjun from the student department to conduct an inquiries on Tao Dalang."

   Hirano Takao asked, "What happened?"

   "There is no special accident. But..." Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes narrowed slightly, "Tao Dalang actually asked Totsuka Seijun to consult Ueda Kenta's information."

   Hirano Takao was shocked: "What did he know?"

"It is said that Ueda Masahiro's daughter told him that Ueda Kenta did not die while hiking, but committed suicide." Iwasaki Kuranosuke sat back on the sofa, but still bit his fingernails, and then released it and said, "Ueda Masahiro took his daughter Locked at home, what is the purpose?"

"Iwasaki-sama..." Hirano Takao couldn't help leaning forward, "Since this name has been announced by him, then it is obvious that he wants to use this matter to achieve what purpose. Ueda Masahiro asked the school to expel him, is it because Tao Dalang asked When it came to that, Ueda Masahiro was worried that he would expose the fact that Ueda Kenta had participated in the Red Army as before? Or use it as a threat to force the Ueda family to do something?"

  Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at him coldly, Takao Hirano was startled, lowered his head and said, "It's me who made a blunder."

"It's not that simple." Iwasaki Kuranosuke put down his hand after taking his eyes back. "No matter how much he already knows, since he clearly asked the name, he at least knows that it has something to do with me. Now a new question has emerged, When Tao Dalang asked for this information at the University of Tokyo, Ueda Masahiro would think that we told him, but we also have to determine who told him!"

   "Sumitomo's side... There is a family owner who knows what happened back then..."

"I'm also thinking about this." Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, and then said: "Pay close attention to the Mori family's split plan, whether some neutral shareholders will withdraw, and who will transfer the shares to! Complete the meeting with Atsushi Kitagawa as soon as possible, and ask him what his attitude is towards promoting cross-investment. Now Mori Group is splitting up. According to the original plan, Sumitomo will invest in the scale of capital injection, and the proportion of shares in Mori Building Group will be Very impressive!"

   "Yes! Then I'll leave first."

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, and after he left, he picked up the pieces on the shogi board on the coffee table and twirled them around his fingertips.

   "Want to keep a secret? Ueda Masahiro, don't you think that if he was really expelled from the University of Tokyo, that kid would be a little crazy..."

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke frowned, staring at the board in front of him.

   Mori Taijiro suddenly decided to split the Mori Group, Ueda Masahiro and the Mori family cooperated on the level of interest, Tao Dalang and Kinoshita Hideyoshi met Mori Taijiro, Tao Dalang asked the University of Tokyo for information about Ueda Kenta...

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes were sharp: "Are you acting all the time? But Masahiro Ueda, don't forget, you still have a promise to the Iwasaki family!"

  …

   "Yamane-senpai! We must do something for the vice president!"

   "Yes! Also, Senior Tao is clearly right! If Ueda-sama was to be expelled from his student status because of a letter from him, does the University of Tokyo still have its own position?"

   "Senior Yamane, it was obviously that Morijiro who started the matter first. Could it be that because his family is rich, Senior Tao can't fight back?"

  “…”

The    Kendo Club is one of the largest clubs in the University of Tokyo. As the news spreads more and more, the enthusiastic students gradually become excited.

   Yamane Yokohisa faced so many members, and he didn't know how to respond with a stern face.

   The noisy voice made Tao Zhiming also walk out of the research room.

   "Senior Tao!"

   "Has the school confirmed its opinion?"

   “Tao…”

   Tao Zhiming shouted: "Silence!"

   Looking at Tao Zhiming, who had calmed down the scene with one sentence, Yamane Yokohisa was in a complicated mood.

"The school is just carrying out necessary procedures! Who instigated you to put pressure on the school?" Tao Zhiming glanced at the crowd gathered in the practice room of the Kendo Club, "I have fully expressed my opinion, the school will Fair judgment! We are still students, and the main task is always to learn.”

   He said word by word: "Absolutely, don't add new trouble to the school!"

   Following his persuasion, the members gradually dispersed.

   Seeing him looking over, Yamane Yokohisa said, "I didn't tell them about Miss Shana!"

  Tao Zhiming said solemnly: "Then, help me to ask them, who told them that Shana was locked at home! This is very important!"

   Yamane Yokohisa nodded, raised his feet and left.

   Ueno Yosuke, who came over, asked worriedly: "Do you think that someone instigated them to create a situation that is not good for you?"

Tao Zhiming's eyes passed through the old tree outside the door, and his voice was faint: "Such a scene is very sensitive to the school. Have you heard of the Eastern Great Dispute in Showa 43? At that time, the general affairs and 10 academic departments Chang Ke has resigned!"

   Ueno Yosuke shuddered: "But it's just your personal business, how could that kind of situation happen?"

   "Of course it won't turn into that situation, but it will make the school have sensitive associations."

  Tao Zhiming's eyes didn't know where to look.

   After asking Ueda Kenta's name, soon there was a situation where passionate students wanted to seek justice for their classmates.

   Ueda Xana's current situation, if Yokohisa Yamane didn't say anything, then, who at the inquiries revealed it?

   It seems that someone with deep knowledge took the shot.

   "Yosuke, your house is indeed in Setagaya, right?"

   "That's right... what's wrong?"

  Tao Zhiming looked at him and said with a smile, "Going to play at your house? This time, I will pick some gifts myself."
