Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 387 Iwasaki Ryunosuke's Courage

   At the long table, everyone sat in two rows.

For a long table like   , the seat farthest from the door is the seat.

   And as soon as he entered the door, Iwasaki Ryunosuke said: "Everyone, I will entertain you today, and I will sit here."

   After he finished speaking, he stood beside the lower seat and stopped talking, instead looking at Tao Zhiming.

   "Regardless of financial resources or age, this position should be mine." Tao Zhiming stood beside him with a smile.

   Watanabe Kitaro was amused: "Is the seats sorted by age or financial resources?"

  Tao Zhiming was not sure whether he was really confused, or because he was floating, or just pretending.

   Could it be that he still wants to take the seat?

   "Since Iwasaki-san insists on entertaining, I'll sit next to you." Tao Zhiming winked at him, "How to arrange the seats, Iwasaki-san must have some concerns in mind?"

   If it is a person in the same organization, the superior and inferior are very clear.

   But now, everyone is a superior person, and each has a complex identity. Tao Zhiming also wants to see how Iwasaki Ryunosuke handles this situation.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke glanced at Tao Zhiming with a smile, and then said: "The so-called financial resources, as Yoshimoto-kun and President Tsui said, everyone has more or less hidden wealth? Since it's a gathering of friends today, why don't we just Like Watanabe-san said, how about taking a seat by the year?"

   Watanabe Kitaro didn't expect that he really suggested the arrangement, and quickly said: "Of course Itoyama-san should be sitting in the upper seat. I'm just joking because I'm very happy to meet everyone."

  Tao Zhiming secretly noticed that when Iwasaki Ryunosuke said this arrangement, Itoyama Eitaro really didn't have any unpleasant emotions.

   Of course, a person who is good in business and started as a secretary in politics, and his temperament is indistinguishable from emotions. Tao Zhiming estimates that he is not shallow.

   At this time, Itoyama Etaro actually said: "I have similar interests with Tao Jun, then I will sit here, it is convenient to talk with Tao Jun."

   After he finished speaking, he calmly took the lead and sat down, opposite Tao Zhiming.

The    position was the back position, but he was the first to sit down.

   So Iwasaki Ryunosuke's position seemed to be the upper seat.

Seeing that Itoyama Etaro casually found a place to sit, the others were welcome, especially Tsutsumi Yoshiaki sat next to Itoyama Etaro, while Kinoshita Hideyuki and Anzai Zenwei were naturally next to Tao Zhiming. seated.

   On the contrary, it was the normal "upper seat", which was really left to Watanabe Kitaro in the end.

   A simple sitting session, Tao Zhiming was quite emotional.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke took the lead in finding a suitable identity, which gave others enough face, and then through the words of others, in the seemingly free and easy "cooperation" of Itoyama Etaro, he avoided forcibly arranging the order and giving everyone a superiority. Trouble.

  Everything came naturally, only Watanabe Kitaro, who was sitting over there, had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little embarrassed.

   Tao Zhiming knew it in his heart, it seemed that the old guy was pretending.

   Of course he knew he didn't deserve that seat.

  Neon's formal dining table is divided into meals.

   A room full of geisha started pouring wine for the guests they were serving and passing dishes.

   And at one end of the room, at the position leading to the courtyard, a geisha was playing the shamisen, and another geisha was dancing slowly beside it.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke was the first to speak: "Itoyama-san, before you arrived, everyone was talking about that today's table seems to be the gathering of the neon rich people on the newly released Global Rich List. This kind of statement is very interesting. So today, everyone will not care about your other status in the parliament, please don't mind."

   "I see, it's really interesting." Itoyama Eitaro raised his head and smiled proudly, "That's right, so you can relax when you eat."

As he spoke, he hugged the geisha beside him, and then said with a tsk tsk: "Let me see... Ah, the assets of everyone present today should be more than 20 trillion yen, right? It's a rare sight to see. Think about the emergency economic measures discussed in the Diet before, but the total amount is only 6 trillion yen! That is a countermeasure that has been placed in response to the appreciation of the neon yen, and the neon economy will be more prosperous. Look at it now. Come, as long as everyone here works together, the effect may be even better."

  The total net worth of a table of guests is at the level of 100 billion yuan. This statement does sound very impressive. However, in reality, how could the weight of these people be so fierce when Iwasaki Kuranosuke gave the head?

   Three major financial groups, all the core family heads are all present.

   Together, they can be called the wealth that dominates the entire neon.

  Since the geishas in the house have entered the role of serving the guests around them, they also warmly admire and express their admiration in due course.

  Tao Zhiming beside Katsuna, smiled and said, "Master Tao is really amazing."

   "Oh? You know me?"

"Tao Jun, Jinlong's geisha, apart from singing and dancing practice, will often go outside to learn about the current situation." The opposite Itoyama Etaro jokingly said, "Among us, you are the most famous, there is no doubt about that. ."

  Tao Zhiming was just right embarrassed: "...Ashamed, it seems that I can't be as public as when I was young in the future."

   These words made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they laughed with different expressions.

"What should I do...Even he started to say something like 'when I was young'." Itoyama Eitaro picked up the glass, "Everyone, let's start together. Then we have to start with Tao Jun and talk about how to do it. All of this. It's a small punishment, let's get something out of our wounded hearts, right?"

  Tao Zhiming replied with a smile: "If you're injured, aren't you surrounded by lovely girls? Talking happily with them will make you feel youthful again!"

   There was a moment of laughter and noise, with Itoyama Etaro's sassy and unrestrained in front, and the others seemed to not shy away.

   Anyway, they knew each other well before that, as long as they were willing, countless women would throw their arms around them. A little intimacy here is just "elegant".

  The whole dinner, just chatting like this, did not mention the matters related to the Tokyo sub-city center at all.

  Tao Zhiming found out that Iwasaki Ryunosuke and Itoyama Etaro always drew everyone's attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.

  Although Itoyama Etaro is talking about his experience of running golf courses in his early years, he still mentioned that he has plans to build golf courses in Hokkaido, Tokyo and Osaka.

   Then he talked about yachts, and naturally he also mentioned the yacht home port he wanted to build.

All in all, it alludes to the fact that Tao Zhiming is about to spend a lot of money on these projects with real money.

   For a while, Yoshimoto Haruhiko and others, who were not familiar with it before, also proposed the idea of ​​​​working together if possible.

Tao Zhiming responded: "I am afraid that the money I have earned through luck in the financial market will not be well guarded, so I am scattered into many industries. Unlike you who have many talented and outstanding backbones, I am now scattered. There are too many careers, I am afraid that the risks are too great. Let me bear these responsibilities first! If I lose money, I can probably grow a little, and I will be more secure in guarding a smaller wealth. Create your own foundation together, and if you want to expand your business, please ask everyone, please don’t refuse.”

  The old fox at the table, except for those who knew him for a long time, couldn't help but be amazed.

   He is very skilled in conversation and handling, and his posture is just right. It is really hard to imagine that he is only a 24-year-old young man.

   The most special mood here is the geisha Katsuna next to Tao Zhiming. Is this the famous Tao Dalang in Tokyo?

   From her point of view, most of what he can see is the tall and straight handsome profile, and the smile that never falls from the corner of his lips.

   He was an outlier among the youngest at the table and probably over forty years old. But if you close your eyes and just listen to his voice, it blends in very well with the atmosphere in the room.

   Seeing that his glass was empty, Katsuna immediately took the jug and poured it again for him.

  Tao Zhiming was pondering to himself, whether they really hope to get their help in the future, or are they setting a trap for themselves.

  Because of chatting and chatting, these rich people naturally collide with the opportunity of what project to invest in and where to cooperate.

   These Tao Zhimings have also seen a lot. When I sat in any cafe back then, I could always hear various people talking about projects. A few big men, talking about a business of hundreds of millions, sounds weird.

   These discussions are naturally inaccurate. I drank wine at the dinner table. Hello, I'm good.

   So Tao Zhiming casually expressed his expectations.

   Could it be that this trap is to hold yourself high and make your investment bigger and bigger, and finally there is a problem with the capital chain?

   If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the best way to deal with him now.

   Put yourself in a dangerous situation where the capital chain is always tight, and then there will be room for planning.

   This is the same problem Kinoshita Xiufeng was worried about during the day, so now that he heard Tao Zhiming's casual acceptance, he couldn't help but look at Tao Zhiming a few more times.

   Fortunately, it’s impossible to keep chatting like this. When many people’s faces were flushed, Iwasaki Ryunosuke said, “Let the girls go and prepare hot towels for you, so you can wipe your faces later, right?”

  This is the beginning of the main play.

   Although it is in a kiosk known for its secrecy, some discussions and plans are not discussed in front of the geisha.

   Katsuna knelt on the ground and took two steps back, and said softly, "Master Tao, please wait."

  Tao Zhiming looked over, only to see that she just raised her head, took a deep look at herself with watery eyes, then lowered her head and stood up, and went out with the other sisters.

"Tao-kun?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke seemed to think that Tao Zhiming was paying attention to this girl, called him with a playful smile, and then said, "The simple exchange of ideas between everyone just now revolves around all of us. Knowing the big event, does Tao Jun still have the energy to invest in other projects?"

"Of course I'm willing to ride on the rides of the seniors." Tao Zhiming sighed helplessly, "Of course, it also depends on how the plan will unfold in the future. Iwasaki-san, since it's everyone you invited Let’s discuss it together and tell us what kind of plans you Mitsubishi have.”

   Tao Zhiming was very impressed that Iwasaki Ryunosuke could speak on behalf of Mitsubishi about this matter.

  Although the Iwasaki family is the founding family of the Mitsubishi Consortium, after all, last year's decision-making mistakes brought certain losses to the entire Mitsubishi. Even if Mitsubishi's board of directors gave the Iwasakis a chance to make up for their faults, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Ryunosuke Iwasaki said calmly: "Mitsubishi only hopes to see that Tokyo can take advantage of this opportunity to really lay the foundation for another 40 years of new development after the reconstruction. The construction of the sub-city center meets the needs of Tokyo, everyone is here. If you don’t want to do it this time, you can leave it to the Iwasaki family to do it, so please rest assured!”

   His statement was amazing, which means, Mitsubishi makes profits? Good opportunities are picked by them first?

  Anzai Shanwei couldn't help but ask: "Iwasaki-san, you just said...Let the Iwasaki family do it?"

"Yes." Iwasaki Ryunosuke replied affirmatively, smiling, "Now, everyone seems to be reluctant to invest money to really carry out residential construction in the three major sub-city districts, after all, the cost of manpower and materials is now higher. It seems that the benefits of investing funds into new residential real estate development are not as good as financial. Therefore, although the Iwasaki family has the will, they are unable to do this alone. However, I can promise that the Iwasaki family can undertake three sub-city centers. The overall residential real estate plan is 40% of the development task, and there are no special requirements for location.”

  Tao Zhiming was shocked, is he so bold?

   No wonder Suzuki Shunji invited him to organize this gathering and negotiation. It turns out that he was the one behind the scenes?

   The problem is, this amount is not small, it feels like Iwasaki's family has to spend everything to complete it.

   For a moment, the room fell silent. Tao Zhiming couldn't help but wonder if this was their strategy of advancing and retreating, which made ordinary real estate developers outside the consortium wonder if these real estate residences were the most beneficial part of this plan?

   It doesn't make sense. They are all top-level bosses in this industry. Naturally, they are a little worried about the real estate prices that are now at an all-time high.

   Among these people, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was the calmest.

   He has the most abundant financial resources, and his focus has always been on regional comprehensive development in the direction of cultural tourism.

   This time, he made up his mind to only participate in the comprehensive development of the Odaiba Rinkai sub-city center. Other professional vice-duxins have proposed for several years that the ownership of land is now complicated and there will be many problems.

   "Watanabe-san, you also bought a total of 5 plots of land in Osaki and Kameido?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke asked with a smile, "Do you have any plans to develop them?"

   "Yes." Watanabe Kitaro is now not giggling like a fool, "I'm hiring a planning person to give me advice."

"The Metropolitan Government has long reserved the planned land for public spaces, and other places are either commercial, residential, or mixed. If Watanabe-san has a development plan, and can really start construction next year If so, the improvement of the surrounding public environment can start simultaneously.”

   Watanabe Kitaro stopped talking and looked at Tsutsumi Yoshiaki first.

  Tao Zhiming watched the crowd quietly. In fact, only Itoyama Etaro was also involved in real estate investment, but his main direction was commercial real estate such as golf courses, and it was not in the downtown area. He also came to participate, I am afraid there is another mission, right?

   And if Tsui Yoshiaki doesn't do it, it's usually a large area when he does it. If the latecomers like Watanabe Kitaro and Kinoshita Xiufeng are willing to sell the scattered land in their hands and connect them into a whole, then Tsutsumi Yoshiaki may be very interested.

   So this is a very difficult joint plan. Tokyo is so big, they are naturally more willing to sit back and invest in core areas with higher development value, rather than the so-called three "professional sub-city centers" that have only been promoted in the past three or five years.

  Perhaps they would rather take this opportunity to sell the land purchased by the three sub-capitals at a high price and cash out.

   Now that the land price in Tokyo is so high, what price should the buyer pay? No one knows how much room there is to rise, or it may be over.

   At this time, Iwasaki Ryunosuke said: "In short, the three major sub-city lands that everyone wants to develop, the Iwasaki family is willing to cooperate and develop. If you don't want to develop, the Iwasaki family is also willing to take it and build it into a house."

   After he finished speaking, he looked at Tao Zhiming next to him: "Tao Jun also expressed his willingness to participate in the cooperative development. For the residence that the Iwasaki family promised to develop, Tao Jun is welcome to cooperate with him."

   Tao Zhiming continued to respond with a smile: "Definitely, definitely!"

Etaro Itoyama, who had not spoken for a long time, said at this time: "The measures for the large-scale development of the sub-city center provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government are currently under discussion. For the clubs that fully support the development plan of the sub-city center, special preferential treatment and public construction projects will be given in return for priority commissioning. ."

   Seeing the eyes of many people looking at himself, Iwasaki Ryusuke said casually: "The Iwasaki family will not care about the entrustment obtained by the Mitsubishi Foundation, but will cooperate with other clubs participating in the development plan of the sub-city center."

   Tao Zhiming really doesn't know what his plan is now.

   means that the Iwasaki family will carry the risks themselves, and the benefits will go to Mitsubishi. With 40% of the development tasks undertaken by the Iwasaki family, Mitsubishi can obtain a lot of public works commissions. A part of it is divided, which is not a small contract. Who among the real estate companies such as Yoshimoto Haruhiko and Mori Building Group has not invested in some engineering construction companies and other upstream companies?

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke did this, so he wouldn't bet on the future of the Iwasaki family, so that Mitsubishi would be impressed by the "responsibility" of the Iwasaki family, right?

  Looking at Ryunosuke Iwasaki on the side, this person seems to be in his early 40s, but he is actually quite young.

   So if it is a long-term return, what should it be?

   His older brother, Zang Nosuke, is not very related to Tibetan characters. Is this Ryunosuke a dormant dragon?
