Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 311 Meat on the Hook

   The changes felt by Mina Maehara are obvious. For example, this time, Tao Zhiming took him to visit and sign contracts with law firms and other high-end service clubs to serve the Tokyo Office of the Peach Club.

   Then, she saw the other side of the Peach Club for the first time.

   In addition to WanderDance's song copyrights and commercial authorization of dimensional cultural works, the president is still applying for technical patents.

   Just these few days, the time has come to March.

   Taking advantage of NTT's rapid progress in the stock market, the final plan for the private reform of the National Railway was also announced.

   At the March board meeting of Sanyou Bank, everyone was smiling.

  Anzai Zenwei said happily: "Finally the dust has settled. Nojima-kun, except for Ueda-kun, the core real estate held by all of us here has experienced a great appreciation, right?"

   "Indeed..." Nojima Tatsuo looked at Tao Zhiming, "If it wasn't for Mitsubishi's passiveness last summer, we wouldn't have been able to achieve such good results."

  Tao Zhiming said with a smile on his mouth: "Mitsui Bank and Sumitomo Bank will not talk about it. The core companies that you have listed are almost catching up with NTT."

   Kinoshita Xiufeng may be the happiest of them all. Because Anzhai Shanwei and Nojima Tatsuo are in a huge consortium after all, and their own interests are limited after all. But Moshang Hengchan is different. In this wave, the value of Moshang Hengchan directly doubled.

   So he joked: "Our land has greatly appreciated, so we should get more mortgage loans, right? Has the financial crisis of your bank been over for the time being?"

   "Yes, the situation has finally stabilized, and the depositors have calmed down a lot." Anzhai Shanwei sighed, and then said, "But there are still many things to deal with. Are there any special issues today?"

Tao Zhiming put away his smile and said seriously: "Since December last year, I have been looking for a team to develop a system. Now, the patent has been applied, and I am going to set up a special club to make this product. Here Share this project, whether to use Sanyou Bank to invest 20% of the shares, or to take another way, please consider."

   He carefully introduced the functions of this new generation of karaoke ordering system, and then said: "The core of the system is the audio and video on demand based on computer technology. I will talk about its several development prospects."

What   Tao Zhiming described is only the market brought about by the elimination of the current jukeboxes with outdated functions, and the market increment of night entertainment venues after the economy becomes hot and consumer desires are rising in the next step.

   In what he told them this time, Tao Zhiming also further simplified the system. After all, the peripherals such as TV, stereo, power amplifier and microphone have nothing to do with the core of the song-ordering system.

"… Brother Anzhai, Brother Nojima, your consortium has a club that produces LD machines." Tao Zhiming pointed out the key point, "This is also a big market, which is different from household LD machines. In addition, I will also Through the contact with the Taoya person, we are going to establish a chain for the music industry to obtain stable copyright income from the karaoke market, and make this equipment a new standard. There will be advantages within the year. This set of standards can also be easily exported to overseas markets.”

  Anzai Zenwei and Nojima Tatsuo originally doubted whether this new product could be recognized by the market, and whether the cost and profit margins were guaranteed. But when Tao Zhiming moved out Tao Yaren, he remembered a different point.

  Tao Zhiming seems to have not organized any new clubs for a long time. Although this new club is still doing things related to entertainment, it is not placed inside WanderDance.

   Moreover, he attaches so much importance to this matter, it seems that the space is not small.

   "In addition to Sanyou Bank's investment, does it accept other investments?" An Zhai Shanwei asked, "For example, the LD machine production club."

"In addition to Sanyou Bank, there are already three shareholders, my Peach Club, Softbank." Tao Zhiming said, "Although I think the prospects are very good, it has not been verified yet, and it is better to cooperate. Because if If the LD machine production club needs to contribute capital, I am afraid it will not take much shares. The registered capital of my plan is 1 billion yen.”

   "...I think how old is it." Anzhai Shanwei couldn't help but complain, "It only requires Sanyou Bank to invest 200 million yen. You don't have to raise it so solemnly, right? It's within your authority."

Tao Zhiming smiled: "There are no outsiders here, this project is related to all of us after all, WanderDance's new dance hall is to be a karaoke dance hall of this new model, I call it Karaoke City, named WanderKTV."

   "...A place dedicated to singing?" Anzai Shanwei tutted in amazement, "Isn't it like WanderDance?"

"Of course not. The guests are entertained with their friends in a separate box, charging by the hour, and singing happily." Tao Zhiming introduced the way of operation, "It is more private and more intimate than a dance hall like WanderDance. Easy to let go."

   These old snakeskins immediately thought of a way to upgrade, and immediately nodded their heads: "Although the price threshold will definitely be higher, but you can sing more happily."

"So, regarding this kind of song ordering system with better experience, there are still many resources that need everyone's help and coordination. I solemnly put it up, not only because I think it has a broad market prospect, but also for our karaoke city to be able to once again. Leading the way. If you run it well, you can't get less revenue than WanderDance, and it's a lot less expensive to run."

Anzai Yoshie and Nojima Tatsuo are enthusiastic because they heard that after several months of accumulation, WanderDance's single-day operating income on weekends has been able to steadily exceed 15 million yen, and even occasionally encounter high-stakes customers , can exceed 20 million yen.

  If this karaoke city can also have this level of income, then 15% of the shares will be distributed, which is a huge income.

  The main purpose of Tao Zhiming's regular board meeting this time is this.

   Let them take care of their own affairs and help Tao Zhiming realize the implementation of this song ordering system as soon as possible.

   But in addition, there is another link: that is to open up the chain of interests with the copyright authorization of songs in the music industry.

  …

  Tao Zhiming estimated that the news of his return to Neon would soon be known to Tao Ya people.

In the days before   , he made the excuse that Hoshino Suzu was just pregnant, and did not further discuss and communicate with him. But after receiving a call from Tao Yaren again, Tao Zhiming readily made an appointment with him.

   After the last communication with Tao Ya, Tao Zhiming has seen through the details.

  The guy who is fox and fake tiger, his own weight is limited.

   boasting is not so bragging. The Tao family has many friends and can mobilize the capital strength in the tens of trillions of yuan.

  When others will use all their strength to support him?

   Those capital bosses, old money families and new money families in Huajie may have reached an agreement on some issues out of a long-term strategy, and then started to do something through a common mechanism. The Tao family is just an executor of these things in Neon.

  The identity of the Tao family must also be light and dark.

  Mingli Ichijo may be able to use some of the funds and resources invested overseas by the official US power, but it will never be much. At least in the direction of Neon, it is already scary to have a fund of 100 million yuan a year.

   The secret one is that the consensus institutions reached by the capital families additionally support them. Of course there are some funds and resources, but they will never be misused.

   Hongsu is still there, and it’s been a few years since it collapsed, and that’s where the decisive battle will be. If the Tao family's actions on Neon's side were contrary to the masters' strategy, they could get the support of a fart.

   To a certain extent, the hard power of the entire Tao family may not be as strong as the current Tao Zhiming. However, the potential energy they can borrow may be particularly powerful in Neon.

   And as long as it is a human being, there will be some selfishness. There are not only the selfishness of his master, the selfishness of the Tao family, but also his own selfishness.

  To meet again, Taoya people came to set the place.

  Meet again, Ogata Toshiro is outside the door, and Tao Yaren is more approachable than last time after seeing Tao Zhiming: "President Tao, how is your wife taking care of her pregnancy?"

   "The most dangerous period has passed." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern."

  Tao Ya pointed to the wine that was already waking up: "Last time, President Tao served me with good wine. I also found a bottle of good wine that has been treasured for many years, and asked President Tao to taste it."

   "I'm looking forward to it. Yaren-kun, what is it about today's invitation?"

  Tao Yaren pretended to be displeased: "President Tao, I like to make friends. There must be something special to invite you to get together?"

   "After all, there are too many legends about the Tao family." Tao Zhiming snorted, "Speaking of which, I have something to do, and I would like to ask Yaren-jun for some advice."

   "Oh? I don't dare to give advice, please tell me!"

  Tao Zhiming smiled and asked, "Master Yaren, do you agree with Chiyan's direction in entering the field of cultural publishing?"

Tao Yaren laughed dumbly: "President Tao, didn't we talk about this topic last time? I respect the existence of various ideas. Even if I don't agree, Shueisha has not stabilized recently because of your influence? They think To go public smoothly, at least until the second half of the year."

   "I'm sure you don't agree, so I think we have more in common." Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "Yaren-kun, is it just the two of us drinking today? That would be too lonely."

  Tao Yaren was stunned for a moment, then laughed and clapped his hands.

   Then, naturally, a woman in a kimono walked in and ate and drank with her.

The two of them also drank some wine, and Tao Ya said in a casual chat: "President Tao, to be honest, you already have 1 billion yuan in assets, which really surprised me last time. Everyone in Tokyo, In fact, you underestimate the strength you have now, right?"

   "That's not it. Just because of another interest rate cut, I heard that Sumitomo Bank and Mitsui Bank asked me to buy some bank bonds, and spent more than 10 billion yen in one breath. Everyone knows that." Tao Zhiming said lightly.

   "...It seems that President Tao is also a person who is good at making friends!" Tao Yaren sighed, taking out more than 10 billion yen in cash, which is really a skill.

He thought about it for a while before he said: "President Tao is so young and promising, and the cultural sector is all about entertainment. Last time I heard you say that we need to build a magazine kingdom first. In terms of magazines, President Tao You can completely rely on the influence of Onodera’s wealth and your personal persuasion to start a magazine on finance and current affairs.”

  Tao Zhiming's heart moved, and he immediately shook his head: "These aspects are too sensitive. I just want to make money happily, enjoy life, and don't want to get involved in too complicated disputes."

  Toya looked at him, and couldn't help but sigh strangely: "This doesn't seem like what the person who brought down Iwasaki Kuranosuke said."

   "Yato-kun, at that time, it was to gain a foothold. Now, where would you do such a dangerous thing?"

   "How can it be dangerous?" Tao Yaren smiled reservedly, "If President Tao has any thoughts in this regard, the Tao family will support you."

Tao Zhiming took another sip of red wine with him, and then said: "Yarenjun, I still want to focus on culture and entertainment. News is a very sensitive field, and you know my origin. If you want to do this, I can consider investing a little money."

   "What's the problem with money? It's mainly because President Tao is at his age. This achievement is very appealing." Tao Yaren waved, "You symbolize the dreams and myths of the new era."

  Tao Zhiming smiled humbly, you also know how to set up a character?

   But this matter, how does it sound like the masters behind him want him to pull himself into a game and prepare for the harvest in a few years.

   During this process, the financial master over there may also pull him to make a game during this process, sniping at some stocks or something. With the cooperation of a large amount of foreign funds, of course, you can make more and more money in the financial market.

   But if you earn it in the end, it is likely to be a fat sheep. After all, there is no huge background force, and an alliance has been built. Where can others be stable for decades or even hundreds of years?

   However, Tao Zhiming took the hook lightly and said that he could invest and cooperate.

   This hook, after all, has a piece of meat. The person holding the fishing rod on the hook, a few years later, Tao Zhiming's strength may not be able to pull one or two people.

Then, Tao Zhiming talked about the business: "Compared to this matter, Yarenjun, you are the king behind the neon advertising industry, and your influence on the music industry must be unparalleled. It can be seen in a long time. I have an idea now, and I hope to form a kind of cooperation in the field of karaoke with the copyright owner of the music industry.”

   "In this regard, you can directly contact the Music Copyright Association." Tao Yaren felt very strange, doesn't he understand?

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Actually, the karaoke market has only been developed for more than ten years, so it is not perfect. I hope to discuss with the Music Copyright Association and use technical means to form a relatively complete standard. In this case, It's helpful for the industry as a whole."

   With Tao Zhiming's current strength and contacts, since he wants to do this, of course, the first thing is to play a dimensionality reduction attack in the neon market, and set the threshold for this field from a standard level.

   On the one hand, WanderKTV is making money, and on the other hand, the Music Copyright Association is stepping up its efforts to pursue infringements. Wouldn’t it be possible to sell this song ordering system faster?

   In addition, this will also be an opportunity for WanderDance to officially enter the neon music circle.

   In last year's Red and White Song Festival, it was obvious that WanderDance's single performed well on the Oricon chart, but no singer was invited as a newcomer.

   This is xenophobia!
