Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 368 The body is just a tool

  Tao Zhiming's determination to Asmer is very big, and he is also very sure.

   This feeling was passed on to Key Holder. The first contact point was over, and he was only going to go back and investigate this Tao Dalang first.

  Tao Zhiming is not afraid of his investigation, because investigations come and go, and they will only find out that he is very rich, and his relationship with Mitsubishi is not very good. This is true.

   The main thing is that ASML really had a tough time after its founding until around 90 years ago.

The more important fact is that after Asmar's lithography machine was finally developed and put on the market, with the support of the semiconductor industry in Europe and the recovery of the lithography machine market in the mid-1990s, Philips couldn't wait to empty it. stock.

   As for whether he regretted his bowels later, Tao Zhiming felt that there should be.

   This also reveals another important point: Philips itself, as a shareholder, has played little role in the development of ASML. If there is, it is that in the case that ASML is so difficult that no one is willing to take over, it still gritted its teeth and pulled a lot of funds for their research and development.

   This point, Tao Zhiming can completely replace.

   He can not only replace the capital of Philips, but also know the future trend of technology, and can provide a market for ASML in the future.

   Of course, he also knows that BSMC has been established, and one of its shareholders is Philips.

   This game of chess has only just begun.

   The fame that "Forbes" gave him can be put to good use this time.

  Tao Zhiming and Key Holder chatted for a few more words, and then went to Maehara Jiu Mina.

   Just like when he was in Los Angeles, Tao Zhiming invited them again in person, and introduced how the neon market is expanding rapidly. Interesting facts about gold-leaf cooking, people's love for golf and skiing, and the huge spending army, for luxury brands, it is in the period of neon expansion.

  Chio Gucci has actually opened a store in Neon, and they agree with what Tao Zhiming said.

   These scenarios described by Tao Zhiming do sound like a suddenly rich society, eager to use luxury goods to decorate their own taste, it seems too urgent.

   "Mr. Tao, you are in Neon, and your main business is not real estate?" After a while, Chio Gucci asked suspiciously, "This Forbes magazine says it's different."

"Everyone in Tokyo knows my business direction." Tao Zhiming said with a bit of amusement, "Whether it's dimensional culture in publishing, WanderDance in entertainment, or Onodera Fortune in the financial field, it's actually better than me. The investment in real estate should be famous. However, these are not listed companies, and it is difficult for them to evaluate our profits.”

   "So... in Mr. Tao's real assets, real estate is only part of it?"

"Although it is only a part, it is indeed the main part." Tao Zhiming glanced at Paul Vitali next to him, and then smiled, "I came to Idali this time to interview Mr. Paul because I was going to be in Nielsen. Hong has a career in yachting. Of course, Neon is worried that I am only buying land in the name of the home port of yachts, but I believe that when the cooperation between me and Mr. Paul is fully negotiated, after the news is announced, this There will be no worries.”

  Chio Gucci thought of the super yacht that Tereza told him, and smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Tao, is the yacht home port? What a big hand."

   "I like yachts."

   "For hobbies, Mr. Tao has invested a lot. So does Mr. Tao have other hobbies?"

  Tao Zhiming looked at him and Monica Bellucci next to him, but said, "I've been busy making money, and I haven't had time to explore other hobbies."

"Does Mr. Tao like art?" a younger person in the crowd asked with a smile, "My friend at Christie's said that Van Gogh's "Sunflower" was bought by a neon company. It will be exhibited at Neon for the first time. The auction price is nearly 40 million yuan.”

  Tao Zhiming looked at him with a smile, and said indifferently: "I didn't pay attention to this."

   "If Mr. Tao wants to buy some art or other collections, you can get to know my friend, he will have the most comprehensive and timely news."

   "Okay." Tao Zhiming just replied politely.

  In the era of bubble economy, neon did have a boom in the collection of art films, but its use was mainly used for money laundering, tax avoidance and bribery.

   But seeing that they started talking about literature, history and art like this, each with a glass of wine, Tao Zhiming was a little tired.

   He is not stupid. In the face of new rich people, "old aristocrats" will always use such topics to show their deep accumulation and long-lasting heritage.

Sure enough, someone suddenly threw the ball at him, as if apologetically said: "I'm sorry, I forgot that Mr. Tao may not know much about Western works and history. Mr. Tao is the most important thing tonight. Guest, I heard that golf is now popular in Neon, Mr. Tao, let's play together tomorrow?"

  Tao Zhiming laughed: "I don't play golf."

   "Really? What sport does Mr. Tao like? Horseback riding?"

Tao Zhiming still likes it when he rides, but after hearing the meaning of his words, Tao Zhiming just said calmly: "I am the founder of a business, and now my main energy can only be on business. The pursuit of art. , or continue to delve into the field that I love, maybe in the future I will have children like this. Now, I can only be a businessman who pursues profit first.”

   The person who asked those words seemed a little embarrassed: "Mr. Tao, you misunderstood."

   "Don't worry, it's also very interesting to hear everyone discussing these topics." Tao Zhiming's face really had an interesting expression.

  Cio Gucci was a little surprised. He thought that this young man would be eager to announce the super yacht he was going to build, or to discuss with these people about private helicopters, expensive watches and so on.

  Unexpectedly, he stated very bluntly that he is now a "vulgar man".

   "Mr. Tao, let's sit over there?" Chio Gucci said.

   "Of course." Tao Zhiming walked with him to the sofa not far away, and Monica Bellucci followed.

  Chio Gucci sat down and asked with a smile, "Mr. Tao asked Azimut to invite me here, just for that Tokyo fashion festival?"

  Tao Zhiming shook his head: "It's understandable that Gucci doesn't want to participate in the Tokyo Fashion Festival now."

   "So, for Mr. Tao's super yacht?" he asked in a low voice.

  Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then smiled subtly: "Mr. Chiao understands? But the decoration plan and furnishings of the yacht are the next stage, and I haven't considered it yet."

   "What is the purpose of Mr. Tao?"

   "It's not easy for me to come to Idari from Neon. If I get to know more celebrities, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future, isn't it?"

  Tao Zhiming just told Trisha that some fashion brands from Idari could be invited to the dinner.

   His purpose is really limited to this, so if you know it first, maybe it will be useful at some point. But listening to this guy ask this now, it seems that Trisha has given them an illusion: Tao Zhiming is on his own super yacht, and many aspects have to be customized with luxury brands.

Chio Gucci really felt bored, but after chatting with him politely, he got up and said: "If Mr. Tao likes our Gucci products and wants to customize something, our store in Tokyo will definitely help Mr. Tao. Serve well. I'll tell there after I go back and prepare a special VIP card for Mr. Tao."

   Listening to the music that was already playing over there, Chio Gucci stretched out his hand to Monica Bellucci with a smile: "Can we dance together?"

   looked very gentleman, but Monica Bellucci shook her head: "Mr. Chio, I want to sit for a while."

  Chio Gucci stood up straight and walked towards Erica.

   "Your name is Monica?" Tao Zhiming was a little surprised that she would sit here still.

"Monica Bellucci."

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "Is Miss Monica an actress? Sorry, Idari's actor, I don't know much."

   "Not yet, I'll be a model now and then." She looked at Tao Zhiming and said a little surprised, "Your English... speaks pretty well."

   "Miss Monica, I was only able to have a brief conversation. Maybe they thought that I said a lot of things wrong and secretly laughed."

  Monica smiled, full of glory, and then asked suspiciously: "When you first saw me, you seemed a little surprised. Of course, I didn't mean surprised because of my appearance."

  Tao Zhi obeyed: "Miss Monica is very frank about her beauty. Of course, it's because of her looks."

   "I have been used to men's eyes for many years." She said with certainty, "Your eyes are not because you think I am beautiful, but there is an accident, like knowing me, but it is unexpected to see me here."

  Tao Zhiming felt a pain in his head. Are these women who later became famous actors good at capturing micro-expressions? Jennifer Aniston said the same before.

"Probably because the expression on your face is very serious and calm." Tao Zhiming said casually, "Although standing behind others at the time, she also had her own unique temperament. Miss Monica must be a strong hearted person. woman, did you come with Mr. Chio?"

"Yes."

   "Why did you decline his invitation to dance with him?"

   "I don't want to dance with him."

   "...This is a very good reason." Tao Zhiming laughed, "Have you ever been a model for Gucci?"

   "Not yet. It looks like I won't do it in the future." Monica Bellucci said indifferently, "unless he thinks that it is enough for me to accompany him to this banquet today as a female companion."

  Tao Zhiming's knowledge of her is limited to the fact that she is very daring to appear in relatively large-scale movies, and then because of her invincible appearance and figure, she is praised by many people as the earth ball flower, which can be called a national treasure of Idari.

   After a few short conversations at this moment, I found that she had a calm and natural aura about her.

   "So, don't you have no bottom line because of money?"

   "What's the bottom line?" Monica glanced at him, "For me, beauty and body are just tools, what matters is my will. I don't really care about making money as a model."

  Tao Zhiming was amazed: "Is it just a tool? So what does Miss Monica care about?"

   "Are you also interested in me?"

   "...Of course." Tao Zhiming didn't expect her to be so direct, "I am also a very normal man. But Miss Monica surprised me, your words... very frank."

   "There's nothing wrong with being frank." She looked at Tao Zhiming, "I like the art of movies. I heard from you just now that you're not interested in art, so I'm not interested in you for the time being."

   "Then what are you talking about with me?" Tao Zhi ordered.

   "Since you don't like chatting with them, and I don't like it, let's sit here and chat together. Seeing that I'm chatting with you, they won't come directly to invite me to dance."

   "…Is there a price to pay for taking advantage of my words?"

  Monica looked at him strangely: "Don't you also like to chat with them? You are also exempted from this trouble."

  Tao Zhiming didn't expect her to be such a model, and he sighed with emotion: "You are right, then let's continue talking. How can you conclude that I have no interest in art?"

   "You said it."

   "Did I say so?"

  Monica thought for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "You didn't say it."

   "So you might still be interested in me."

  Tao Zhiming smiled calmly, his eyes were confident, and there was a different look in Monica's eyes: "So, you just think it's boring for them to discuss things?"

   "Forget it, and it has nothing to do with me. You like movies, with your appearance and figure, haven't you encountered the opportunity to act now?"

  Monica shook her head: "I haven't learned to act. Also, I don't want to play that kind of role without depth."

   "It's a bit difficult." Tao Zhiming looked at her with a smile, "Who made you look like this, I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of the vase-like character in the movie."

   "It's okay, I can wait. Until then, I can still make the money I need by modeling."

   "Any character with depth?" Tao Zhiming pondered, "In your mind, what kind of character is a character with depth."

Monica didn't find out either, and unknowingly they were talking about what she was really interested in, and said with great enthusiasm: "You know, when I was a child, I couldn't accept that I would always attract so much attention. Later, my father told me Me, I need to get used to it, a lot of people will stare at me, I need to be strong. Then I found out that when I don't care about these eyes, these eyes are very interesting."

She looked at Tao Zhiming: "Just like you. They say you are the youngest billionaire, you want to get me, but your eyes are more greedy, and it seems that you are not satisfied with only getting my body. Then you have a very special self-confidence. , This is of course because of your ability. And you also want to prove yourself to me. I found that I am actually a very good tool to make other people's love, desire, and humanity exposed. I think there is a deep role , which allows me to have that effect in the film.”

  Tao Zhiming was amazed: "Do you have the pleasure of overlooking a lifetime? You like to look at the dark places in people's hearts. You said you haven't studied acting yet. Since you are interested in these things, why haven't you studied them?"

   "I studied law."

   "Law? The bottom line of morality is also about human nature." Tao Zhiming became more and more emotional.

  Monica's eyes lit up: "Your understanding of the law is very interesting!"

  Tao Zhiming thought that was not the case, this was the realization that Zhang San, a scumbag, had been an outlaw fanatic for many years.

   Hearing her so bluntly saying that she wanted to get her and was greedy, Tao Zhiming was very rude: "You impressed me very much. But after talking with you, I'm no longer interested in you."

   He stood up and smiled slightly: "Is there still that feeling in my eyes?"

   After saying that, he walked towards the others.

   It’s okay to say that she has special ideals to pursue, or that she is a little extreme in her thinking because she has been attracting attention since she was a child. But I don’t mind using my body as a tool at all, and I even act on a full scale without any psychological pressure on the screen, just because I think it’s interesting or valuable to explore the dark side of human nature. Tao Zhiming wouldn't be interested if she was determined to take such a path.

   It can only be said that cultural habits are different.

   Besides, how many women are there in this world? The so-called flower of the earth is only because she is too famous.

  Monica Bellucci looked at his back with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

   She really didn't see any obsession or desire for her from the last look in her eyes, and she really felt that there was no need to communicate with her more.

   is weird.

Why?

   Also, why did you just talk about something interesting, why did you suddenly end the conversation with such a sentence?

   Could it be that chatting with yourself is more boring than chatting with those people about superficial history and art?

Trisha, who had been keeping an eye on Tao Zhiming, walked over and smiled: "Listen to Erica, Miss Monica is a model who will shine sooner or later. Seeing that Mr. Tao and you are having a good chat, What does Miss Monica think of Mr. Tao?"

"You are…"

   "I'm Teresa Beatty, Azimut Yachts Sales Director in Asia."

   "Is he your client?"

   "Very important client."

  Monica looked at Tao Zhiming who was talking with others over there, and then looked at Tereza: "What do you want me to do? Accompany him? Sorry, I'm not that kind of model."

  Teresa's smile froze: "Miss Monica, how could you have such an idea?"

   "I can see your intentions," she said firmly.

  Teresa realized something, then smiled very subtly: "I think, I understand why Mr. Tao didn't continue to chat with you."

After   , she also walked towards Tao Zhiming.

  Monica's eyes are very calm, doesn't she just feel that there are some things that should be more euphemistically said?
