Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 242 A once-in-a-lifetime drama

Facing the eyes of Ueda Masahiro, Iwasaki Kuranosuke bowed sincerely: "Ueda-kun, so many years have passed. At that time, it was not a few years before I first took the position of the head of the family, and making such a request to you eventually led to tragedy, I apologize to you again."

   Ueda Haruko, who had just brought the tea, shook the tea tray upon hearing this.

   "I'm sorry..." With tears in her eyes, she put down her things and walked away with her head lowered.

Ueda Masahiro silently set the teacup and said lightly: "That matter has passed, and I don't want to mention it again. If Iwasaki-sama really has this heart, just let me Ueda Masahiro fulfill the promise, but I don't want to talk about it. An old one. I've done enough for the Iwasakis over the years that it's time for that to be buried in history."

"Ueda-kun, you are the head of the family, and I am also the head of the family. At that time, you were still able to restrain your emotions in grief, and understood that I made such a request out of the needs of the family, and did not take anger on me. To you At that time, I admired the courage from the bottom of my heart.”

Ueda Masahiro held the teacup to his mouth, and said softly, "Since Iwasaki-sama understands that I am also the head of the family, then I should understand how important my agreement with Mori-san is to me. Now that Jiro is killed, Iwasaki-sama can easily To rescue Tao Dalang, did you send someone to kill Jiro?"

   "That's right." Iwasaki Kuranosuke replied lightly.

   Ueda Masahiro didn't expect him to be so frank.

Thinking of his role, Ueda Masahiro's face became cold, and he put it down without drinking tea, and said coldly: "Do I have to accept the Iwasaki family's adopted son-in-law before I can give up? You are the owner of the family, and I am also the owner of the family. To Iwasaki I can’t accept it with confidence, and you should understand that a family like the family has to use all means to achieve its goal. Even if you kill Jiro and ask me with a promise, it’s impossible to agree. Iwasaki-sama, please change your request.”

"I sent someone to kill Morijiro, not for this purpose. I tell you this frankly because I have decided to participate in this war initiated by Morijiro. Ueda Patriarch, you are going to stand by him On the one hand, will you fight me completely?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes were sharp.

   “…war?”

"What kind of person is Sentai Yoshiro, don't you still know? He wants everything! He wants the help of the Ueda family, the support of Mitsubishi, and the infinite and broad space in the future. This There are only so many positions at the top of the world. His ambitions are much bigger than yours, and that is the ambition that makes me worry that one day the interests will be robbed. Therefore, from the moment he prepares to split the Sen Group, he will use the challenger's ambition. Identity has waged war!"

   "...War." Ueda Masahiro looked at him, "So if I still stand with Mori-san, the Ueda family will become the Iwasaki family's enemy?"

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke did not answer because the answer was obvious.

   Ueda Masahiro was silent for a while, and asked, "If the enemy is to do so, what promises do we need to abide by?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled: "Therefore, a choice needs to be made today. If Ueda-kun chooses to stand with the Mori family, the promise will no longer exist. Of course, I don't need to be more friendly to the two of us. work towards the future.”

   "…Will everything including Kenta be used as a means?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all: "Ueda-kun, I have always felt guilty about Kenta's impulsive abdominal cutting back then. Helping you serve as the director of the Kasumi Club is not letting you accept the adopted son of the Iwasaki family's son-in-law. Persistence in this matter, you are also very clear, that is not my usual practice, is it? I said, I always want our two families to have a more friendly future. "

   Ueda Masahiro was silent. It's not because your picture is bigger, do I think you are very attractive to me?

   It sounds like you just need to be the enemy of the Iwasaki family, and you don't have to keep your promises. Ueda Masahiro stared at him: "But you still used such a method against the Ueda family. What is the difference between using a full blow as a threat and asking me to fulfill a request with great interests."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke bowed and said, "Forgive me, this is the choice I have to make as the head of the family. It has been ten years since I couldn't get the approval of a man like you. The identity of the Ueda family and the Iwasaki family align their interests. As long as we do not become hostile because of our responsibilities to the family, you should find that I, Iwasaki Kuranosuke, is a true friend in private."

   Ueda Masahiro took a deep breath: "Then why choose not to stand with the Mori family, what is the promise I want to fulfill?"

  Iwasaki Kuranosuke's expression was very solemn: "It's very simple, as the head of the family, consider the interests of the Ueda family! Ueda-kun, be a qualified head of the family!"

  …

The    bomb attack and Morijiro murder are still under investigation, and the same victims and suspects, Kinoshita Hideyuki and Tao Dalang, have behaved differently after they were released on bail.

   After the closed board of directors of Mogami Hengsan ended, Hidekazu Kinoshita held a press conference and announced Mogami's future restructuring plan in a high-profile manner.

   The entire land in Mogami Kekakucho will be put into Mogami Miku, and the reorganized Mogami Miku will reach an asset scale of 150 billion yen, exceeding the original Mogami Hangsan.

Sumitomo originally held 27% of the shares in Mogami Hengchan, but in Mogami Future after the reorganization, Sumitomo, through Mosgami Hengchan’s shareholding and direct shareholding in Mogami Future, added up to 32.55%. The voice of the land has increased significantly.

   This move was interpreted as: Mogami Hangsan’s compromise to Sumitomo.

   On the same day, the Mori family, which had just completed Morijiro's funeral, also announced a major restructuring plan.

   Mori Group will be split into Mori Building Group and Mori Trust. Among them, Mori Building Group, which includes Roppongi Hills, officially launched its listing plan. The listing of new shares will be handled by Mitsubishi Bank.

  The Mori Group and Mogami Hengsan, who were involved in these two cases respectively, sent their two most plump pieces of meat to the mouths of the two big consortiums at almost the same time.

   For several days, a victim of a bombing case, a family of a victim of a homicide case, has been extremely determined to push forward the reorganization of the society.

   Speculation about the insider is constantly fermenting in the media, but there is no evidence.

   In the dark, Hirano Takao and Kitagawa Atsushi became the busiest characters. Both of them pretended not to know what was going on at the lower level, and quarreled over the ratio of cross-shareholdings between Mori Building Group and Mogami Mirai after the reorganization.

   Another key person kept a low profile.

  Tao Zhiming returned to the school, and now he has time to cooperate with the school's investigation on him: whether it really played a big role in Professor Yamamoto's research topic, or whether he increased his resume through money transactions.

   "Show them, Dalang." The reason why Yamamoto didn't speak for him before was because he was too angry, "You guys figure it out! Such suspicion is also an insult to my academic character!"

"Professor Yamamoto." Student Minister Totsuka Seijun had a complicated expression, "Please understand, this is all because he... received too much attention. Since there are many outsiders questioning, the school will always come up with a copy to make them dumb. A silent response."

  Totsuka Seijun appease Yamamoto Kento, and then he looked at Tao Zhiming, who was standing quietly by the side.

  Since the "Marriage Proposal Battle" became known all over the city, the existence of Runa Onodera and the old love of Shiko Kawashima were the black spots first spoken by Masahiro Ueda, who wanted to destroy his image.

   Subsequently, the academic research he participated in was published, attracting fans and blacks at the same time.

   When Ueda Masahiro formally protested and demanded the dismissal of Tao Zhiming, Sumitomo's magazine broke out that Tao Zhiming was still having a passionate night with that Tomizawa Risa in March.

   The day after the bomb attack, Ueda Masahiro accused him of coaxing and seducing Ueda Xana, although Ueda Xana was obviously voluntary.

   The University of Tokyo has never encountered such a type of problem student. His personal ability to create wealth is as strong as his ability to create controversy.

"Mr. Totsuka, whether I violated the school's rules is really involved, right? Is the topic of Professor Yamamoto really playing a role? Other than that, other things are originally the private life of the students. Even if it's really me Suspected of a crime, there is also a special agency responsible for jurisdiction."

  Totsuka Shengjun nodded silently, his eyes turned to Lin Qiyu, "All the materials provided by Tao Dalang were completed on this machine?"

  Lin Qiyu handed out the notebook he had recorded and answered affirmatively: "Every time I search for information, there is a record of the accurate data, the report and the time of the source."

  Tao Zhiming turned on the machine: "Take the first batch of materials as an example."

  School officials who are accustomed to paper-based work have already been a little convinced when they saw this high-end machine with two screens.

   Then, seeing that Tao Zhiming didn't even need to look at the screen, his fingers were tapping on it skillfully, and the screen was constantly refreshing the lines of text, and he was a little stunned.

   This guy... The reason for investing in that software club is probably not all about fighting against that Morijiro.

  Tao Zhiming quickly found some news in the first batch of materials, pointed to the screen and said, "Mr. Totsuka, let's see if it matches the information recorded by Senior Kobayashi in this book?"

  It is the data that was sorted out in this way, and there is no difference in nature.

Tao Zhiming looked for a few more data, and then stood up: "Now repeating what I have done before, it seems very fast. But when I didn't find it, I could only search again and again, in the vast amount of information. The essence of this matter is no different from finding materials in the library. However, the information on it is more concentrated in the field of economy, and because it is a product developed by a company in the United States for the financial industry in the United States, so The international information above is very rich, which is exactly what Professor Yamamoto needs.”

Yamamoto said: "For foreign information, we need both the data from many years ago and the latest information. You need to be able to operate such a new machine and understand English. If it wasn't because of Dalang's classmates Help, do you think I can finish the research on that topic in June?"

   Totsuka Shengjun nodded, turned and asked the person who came with him: "Did you take the photo of the process just now?"

   "It's done, Minister!"

Totsuka Seijun bowed to Yamamoto Kianto: "Professor Yamamoto, in this way, the outside world will at least have nothing to say. Your request to set up such a financial sword research laboratory will not use the assets of the University of Tokyo. criticized."

Then he looked at Tao Zhiming: "Student Tao Dalang has indeed devoted a lot of time and energy to this academic topic. However, in the statement that the school will issue to the outside world, although it can clarify academic doubts, it will still hold that student Tao Dalang is suspected of being involved. We have reservations about the murder case. Whether to punish Tao Dalang or not, we have to wait for the final investigation result of the case to be announced."

"I see."

   "...Then, I'm rude." Totsuka Seijun didn't say any more, and left.

  Xianren Yamamoto looked at Tao Zhiming, and then said, "Kobayashi-chan, you go to work first."

  Lin Qiyu glanced at Tao Zhiming silently. Since the completion of the research on this topic, there have been continuous disturbances around Tao Zhiming.

   And now, it has become more and more dangerous. Not only was he nearly killed himself, but he was also involved in a homicide.

   But Tao Zhiming told him to leave these things alone. The relationship between him and him was only because of Professor Yamamoto's subject, and they worked together as a partner for two months.

   Now, Tao Zhiming didn't even look at her.

   There were only two people left in the research room, and Yamamoto Xianto was silent for a long time.

  Tao Zhiming pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him with a pen.

   Yamamoto took the pen and paper over, looked at him, and said after a long time, "Do you have to do this?"

   Tao Zhiming nodded affirmatively: "There is no way back."

   "...they were already dying."

   "Their ideals were originally very good. Someone took advantage of them and turned them into people who only knew how to use terror and violence. It is just to find out these people behind the scenes."

   Yamamoto sighed dejectedly, put down the pen and paper, and walked out the door.

When    walked to his side, Yamamoto Kianto lowered his voice and said softly, "Keiji Yamashita, let's start with him."

  Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed, is he the person who was very disgusted with his attitude at the inquiry meeting?

   But this person cannot be the central figure of the year, and it is impossible to point to Iwasaki Kuranosuke anyway.

   Yamamoto can only dig out such a marginal character?

   Tao Zhiming thought quietly for a while in the room, and simply walked out of the research room.

"Hahaha!"

   "Okay! You can't relax at home during summer vacation, understand?" Yamane Yokohisa admonished.

"Oh!"

  The freshmen saw Tao Zhiming, and their movements were chaotic, but then they became tidy again.

   The seniors of the fourth grade are exchanging glances.

   Then, Yamane Yokohisa and Tao Zhiming walked into the secluded corridor together.

   "Last time I asked you to help me secretly ask. Who told my classmates that Shana was locked at home on the day of the inquiry meeting, is there any result?"

   Yamane stared at the small scar on his forehead where the gauze had been removed for a long time, and then shook his head: "When I asked about it, they were all unfamiliar classmates. Since the bombings and murders, they are unwilling to talk to me."

   "… because I asked about news about me, so I excluded you?"

   Yamane Yokoji didn't care, his face seemed to be serious: "Do you have any clues?"

   Tao Zhiming was about to speak, but then he laughed: "Okay, I see."

   Yamane Yokohisa frowned as he watched his retreating back.

  Where is he going?

   Thinking of the bomb attack he encountered, and the conversation that day, Yamane Yokohisa was startled: Could it be that the reason why Ueda-sama couldn't resist Xana's engagement was related to the Great Eastern Dispute in Showa 43?

   Yamane Yokojiu returned to the Kendo Club's activity room with a heavy heart, and Tao Dalang obviously didn't want him to continue to be involved in this matter.

   This is also a kind of good intention not to let him get involved in danger, but Yamane Yokohisa wanted to do something for every day that Ueda Xana was still locked in the room.

   He found the roster of the previous members of the Todai Kendo Club and searched the room.

   After a while, in addition to seeing Kenta Ueda's name, he went back to find a member of the Kendo Club who enrolled in Showa 40, and saw another familiar name: Furukawa Valley Shinobi.

   Isn't this the police officer in charge of investigating Tao Dalang's two cases?

   Yamane Yokohisa happily ran to his laboratory, and saw Furukawa Tani Shinobu standing there.

  Tao Zhiming was turning off the machine. After seeing Yamane Yokohisa, he said, "Furukawa police are right, why don't you wait for me in the car? I'll be right over."

   Furukawa Gu Ren nodded and left first, Tao Zhiming asked, "What's wrong?"

  Yanghisa Yamane approached him mysteriously and whispered, "I just found out that the police officer Furukawa is also a senior at Tohoku University. He entered the school in 1940 and is also a member of the Kendo Club!"

  Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I have a heart, but you really don't care about this anymore."

   Then he took the key: "I'm going to lock the door and go out."

   "Is it related to the case again?"

   "That's right." Tao Zhiming locked the door and walked all the way out.

   In front of the Kendo Club, the Metropolitan Police Department's car is very eye-catching.

   Seeing Tao Zhiming walking towards the car, Furukawa Gu Jinnin opened the car door for him, but no matter how he looked at it, he wanted to take him to investigate.

   It seems that although he has been released on bail, he is still very suspicious.

   "Senior! I believe in you!" a passionate member of the Kendo Club suddenly shouted loudly.

   "Senior Tao, come on!"

   "Hold on!"

   Furukawa Valley Shinobu got into the car, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but his tone was calm: "It's very popular, Tao Jun."

   "That's why I like to stay in school." The car was already moving, Tao Zhiming looked out the window, "At school, the mood is calmer. Senior Furukawa, do you think so?"

   Furukawa Valley Shinobi was stunned for a moment, then he just smiled and said nothing.

   Waiting for the car to leave the campus of Tohoku University, to the Setagaya District, and to the residence of Kinoshita Hidefu that was hit by a bomb, Furukawa Tani Shinobu took a bag and walked in with him.

  The room is still in a mess, the blackened walls, the furniture and objects that have been blown to pieces, all revealing the danger of that day.

After Tao Zhiming watched him turn around, he took out a lot of documents from his bag and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Furukawa, why do you always feel a strong sense of threat when you come here to let me sign these documents? I already know very well Mr. Iwasaki. The power is gone, you don’t need that.”

   "It's up to you what you think." Furukawa Gu Shinobu looked calm, "This is the document for the mortgage change of the mortgage on the land under your name, you can sign it first."

  Tao Zhiming took it and looked at it. The 10 billion yen loan, the collateral was changed from that land to all the shares he would hold in the Mori Group, as well as his 5% stake in the future.

   "Sir Ueda has determined that he will change his position?" Tao Zhiming looked at him with mock surprise.

   Furukawa Valley Shinobu took out another document: "This is a secret contract that already has the seal of Lord Ueda."

  Tao Zhiming looked at the contract signed by Ueda Masahiro, which stipulated that Ueda Masahiro would transfer the shares held in Mori Building Group to Tao Zhiming at a price of 5 billion yen. At the same time, Tao Zhiming will also provide 5% of the shares of BROVAPEACH and at least 3% of the shares in the reorganized top future will be held by Ueda Xana.

   In front of Furukawa Gu Shinobi, Tao Zhiming picked up the pen, paused and asked, "Senior Furukawa, did you ever have a moment like now when you wanted to sign the word that decides your fate?"

   "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman, not a writer." Furukawa Tani said lightly.

"...Forget it." Tao Zhiming smiled and shook his head. After signing the signature, he took out the personal seal he brought with him, signed it neatly, and handed it to him: "The one that belongs to me will first be given to me by Senior Furukawa. Keep it and give it to me when I get home."

   "The next step is a personal loan of 15 billion yen." Furukawa Tani Shinobi stared at him, "The loan contract, are you and Kinoshita-kun ready?"

Tao Zhiming also looked back: "We have already bet everything. Although it is very rude, but now we need to see the funds. Otherwise, we have announced that we will start the reorganization of the future, and we will not be able to successfully complete the capital injection into the future. Then handle the asset transfer of that land from Moshanghengchan.”

   Furukawa Gu said without hesitation: "If you want cash, you should transfer money through the bank."

   "Sumitomo, who pays close attention to us, can't find out that there is a financial transaction. Of course, cash is more secure."

   "But do you have any convenient place to store so much cash?"

   "Yes!" Tao Zhiming had already thought about it, "If you are ready, in the name of investigating the case, take Brother Xiufeng to the Suzuki team and send it there."

  Furukawa Valley pondered for a while, then said, "Okay! Then, I'll have someone pick him up."

  Night is falling.

  Three inconspicuous cars converged towards the Suzuki group from different corners of Tokyo.

  Two cars from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also drove Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Xiufeng respectively.

  In the Inagawa Club, a dark car also set off. In the car, Kazuhi Inagawa and another lean old man sat in the back seat. On the front passenger seat sat a woman who was calm on the outside, but a little nervous inside.

   "Reiko-chan, are you alright?"

  Ishibashi Reiko reluctantly smiled: "It's a bit like participating in a movie."

   "Interesting!" Inagawa and Shi Haha laughed, "Is it interesting to be in a movie! Indeed, in my life, I never thought I would be involved in such a big drama!"

  Ishibashi Reiko couldn't help but ask: "Inagawa-sama, is it really okay?"

   "What does it matter? Could it be that the 10 billion yen in cash in the car behind can't give you enough confidence."

   "This is really..." Ishibashi Reiko muttered to herself, "I have never participated in such a movie."

  The night is getting darker, and Tokyo is starting to be bustling.

  The weather was sweltering and it looked like a summer rainstorm was coming.

   Today is 10,600 words. I have been busy with work recently. Please wait for the update time.
