Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 411 The sickle is raised

   Somewhere in Tokyo.

   I was busy all day, and now I can get a little rest, everyone gathered in a quiet room with different expressions.

  The room was terribly quiet, and Aokuping's eyes were the most worried, and he looked at Miyazawa Kiji, who had resigned, anxiously.

   Among the three leaders of "Anzhu Palace", Miyazawa Kiji has sadly resigned. The people in the room couldn't help but scatter their eyes on Takegata and Abe Taro.

   There is no doubt that if things go on like this, the next thing is very delicate.

   "Now is the most difficult time." Takegami stepped out of his usual amiable appearance, and his baby face was very cold and solemn, "The by-elections in Fukuoka and other prefectures must be successful!"

   Hashimoto Taro, who had just taken over as Minister Ozo, nodded in response, but Abe Taro said calmly: "The main thing now is how to deal with the Rikulut incident."

  Take Shangtao's small eyes stared at him suddenly.

   "Takegami-san, you understand what I'm talking about." Abe Taro looked back without flinching, "Don't you all understand the real reason why the Rikulut incident keeps fermenting?"

  Takegami frowned and said, "Then Abe-san, what do you think is the real reason?"

"Beginning in April last year, in just two months, the neon yen depreciated from a high of 124:1 to the meter dollar to 134:1, so the Likulut incident occurred. In December last year, Christmas Eve forced The consumption tax was passed. The neon yen, which depreciated back to 123:1, has now depreciated to nearly 127:1 in just a few days, so the Rikulut incident continued to ferment.”

  Abe Taro stared at him: "Let the neon yen continue to depreciate, and the fire will soon burn on the Prime Minister himself!"

   Bamboo Upper Step changed color: "Abe-san, what do you mean when you say that?"

  Abe Taro actually smiled: "I heard that in May last year, the reception held by Takegami-san raised more than 2 billion yen in one night. Do you think that no one will speak out about this matter?"

   "Abe-san! Now is not the time for us to argue!" Takegami stepped up a few degrees.

   "I'm just reminding!" Abe Taro did not show weakness, "If the Ministry of Finance does not come up with a solution, it is also very dangerous for the consumption tax to continue to expand the strength of the consortium! Don't forget how the current situation developed!"

   Zhu Shangta wiped his eyes wearily and said, "I'm sorry."

  Aokuping took out a cigarette case from his pocket knowingly, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

   Few people know that this lovely-looking Prime Minister will want to smoke uncontrollably when he is bored.

   "Give me one too." The lost Miyazawa Kiji also spoke.

   The three leaders of Anzhu Palace, and now the other two are still in the mood to quarrel, but he is even more depressed.

   For a while, the room was filled with smoke, and the atmosphere was even more depressing.

  Aokuping felt even more frightened and didn't know where this event would go.

  Take Kamata said wearily: "The consumption tax is also beneficial for them to enter the neon..."

   "The opposition rally of 170,000 people in Yoyogi Park is not good for us!" Abe Taro said bitterly, "If the depreciation of neon yen can be controlled in conjunction with the consumption tax, it will not be as troubled as it is today!"

   "Abe-san, if you have any good ideas, you might as well bring them up, and I will arrange for Linglang to do it."

  Abe Taro's expression stiffened, and he closed his mouth in displeasure.

  Although there was an agreement between the two of them, he would be the prime minister first, and then he would take over. He also arranged his son Abe Shinkyu into the cabinet first, but now he actually said this directly, what do other people think?

  Zhu Shangta gave him a cold look, this fellow just wished he could go into the wild now, so he could come out and clean up the mess.

   But whose **** is cleaner?

   After discussing in the room for so long, Hashimoto Taro looked at his watch and said, "Takegami-san, everyone, are you sure that Tao Dalang has been in close contact with that pottery family?"

Another topic came up, and Takegami felt a sense of anticipation, smothered the cigarette and nodded: "I took a lot of effort to confirm this from Mitsubishi. Hashimoto-kun, you and Itoyama-kun go together and ask. Well, let's see if we can get some additional information."

   Hashimoto Taro asked, "Do you want to invite Governor Suzuki with you?"

   "It's not good to have too many people. You and Itoyama-kun, after all, have a common hobby with him."

"I understand."

  Abe Taro opened his mouth and confessed again: "He and Mie Nofu also seem to have friendship, and you can also ask about the central bank."

   Hashimoto Taro frowned: "I'm the Minister of Daizo, but it's inappropriate to ask about the central bank from his mouth."

"Then you can now allow the central bank to continue to obey the command of the Ministry of Finance? After Miyazawa-kun resigned, the central bank is already eager to go crazy! Mie Yefu has been criticizing the fiscal policy of the cabinet, you should do everything possible to control those guys now! If If we start raising interest rates now, will the U.S. agree to open up the semiconductor and medical markets?"

The words    made Miyazawa Kiji even more sad, and Hashimoto Taro also looked gloomy.

   He silently got up, bowed, and left the smoke-filled room.

   The current situation of the central bank is indeed not good, and the current president is also able to suppress the direct descendants of the central bank because he can get the support of the highly prestigious Kiji Miyazawa.

Since    took over the Ministry of Finance for more than a month, the disputes with them have already caused Hashimoto Taro quite a headache.

   He resisted the proposal on how much national debt the central bank should eat; he repeatedly raised interest rates, claiming that the risks of financial control are now too great, and interest rates must be raised.

   Don't even look at what time it is.

   In the broadcast in the car, there was a heated discussion about whether the Heisei Conference would continue to prosper, and there were also discussions about which dignitaries were involved in the Ricurut incident.

   Hashimoto Taro was upset: "Turn off the radio."

  The car was quiet, it wasn't completely dark, and today's Tokyo is a little different than usual.

  The neon lights on the streets were all turned off as a sign of mourning.

   Hashimoto Taro's mood was also as depressed as the extraordinary scene outside, but he was worried about other things.

   To him, the most important thing is that the Ricurut incident ends as soon as possible and that Takegami can govern smoothly. Abe Taro is already very old. Judging from his health, as long as he can last two or three years, the forces within the party will inevitably be reorganized.

   But now, although the outbreak of this incident is definitely not from the hands of Abe Taro, he is willing to contribute to the flames. Miyazawa Kiji has been affected and resigned. At this juncture, who is closer to that position than him?

   So the main thing is the Ricurut incident.

The    District Procuratorate and Special Investigation Department have been dispatched. The current cabinet is facing the opposition of the people and suppressing the people in the central bank to promote policies that are beneficial to the United States. Why do they launch such a resolute attack?

   has been in development for half a year, and it is not over yet. It has even officially filed a case. What is the purpose?

  Some of the people in the Tao family who could be contacted in the past can no longer be contacted.

Hashimoto Taro first returned to the province of Tibet, and then in the garage, he got into another car that would not be recognized as his car, and drove to Tao Zhiming, Qingtian's house, Ueda's house, and Kinoshita Xiufeng. Go in the direction of Taoran Pavilion.

  This Taoranting is hidden in the contiguous old houses in Chiyoda District. I heard that at that time, in order to be able to take it down, I bought five houses and one house in one go.

   This is not something that ordinary energy can easily do.

  After the renovation, each has a courtyard, but from the outside it is just an ordinary house.

  Tao Zhiming was already waiting here, chatting with Miki Kono and Shisui.

  Miki Kono is of course familiar with managing a place like this, and the three sisters of Xishui also take turns to come here to manage the geisha provided by the Qingtian family. No one can even tell the difference between them, and they are called Tao Shuang together.

"Master President is really a person who pity you." Kono Miki looked at Shishui with a little envy in his eyes, "Now you have a surname and an official identity, and you are younger and cute than then. "

   The largest of the three sisters, Shishui, is now on Tao. She knew it was a Chinese name, and the neon pronunciation was weird, but they were just Taoshuang to the outside world anyway. Although I don't know what Tao Zhiming's intention is for them to do this, it's fine to do it.

  Tao Zhiming blinked and teased: "I saw Brother Xiufeng today, Sister Meiji, he is empty now. Give him a son!"

   Kono Miki didn't react, she just said calmly: "Master President, don't make fun of me. If Kinoshita-san really likes me, there will be no results for so many years."

   "Look back and I'll continue teaching him!" Tao Zhi's words were firm.

   "Then thank you in advance." Kono Miki smiled, "I'm very grateful to the president for getting me out of there."

   Tao Zhiming said nothing.

   Today's Sakura Shrine is still there, but with Tao Zhiming's persuasion, at least Kinoshita Xiufeng and Kono Miki have nothing to do there.

He also learned later that although Susakura Shrine was nominally run by the Inagawa Society, the Inagawa Society was only receiving people from various consortiums who were born like Hoshino Suzu, and in this busy Tokyo city, it is for some people with A place for those who need it.

  Nowadays, Inagawa is becoming more and more formalized and is gradually trying to get rid of this industry.

   Kono Miki was fished out by Kinoshita Xiufeng first.

   Kinoshita Xiufeng has a very strange relationship with her, and I don't know if she cares about her background. All in all, it is irresponsible to lift her pants, and she always plays on the second and third floors under the eyes of others.

   But anyway, she helped her back then, so that she only needed to manage the first floor and arrange for the guests to play, and she didn't need to accompany others.

   In fact, she is getting older, and others are not willing to ask her to accompany her.

   As we were talking, Taro Hashimoto arrived.

   Tao Zhiming heard the geisha's return and walked to the courtyard there.

   entered the courtyard over there, this entry is unknown.

   Five courtyards, tea, flowers, books, swords. The other is anonymous and not open to the public.

   For the customers with insufficient levels, they all thought that this pavilion had only four courtyards.

  Tao Zhiming went to the courtyard and turned the corridor. Hashimoto Taro was sitting under the eaves watching the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

   "Lord Hashimoto, it's cold, why are you sitting outside?"

   Hashimoto Taro stood up to meet him: "The air outside the house is fresher."

   Tao Zhiming smiled and reached out to invite him into the room.

"At a moment like today, Hashimoto-sama still spares time, which really frightens me." Tao Zhiming entered the room, asked him to sit down and started to warm the wine, "Is it because of the Ricurut incident? I asked my father-sama. Yes, he assured me that there was no evidence of what Iwasaki Kuranosuke arranged at that time."

   Hashimoto Taro shook his head: "Riculut's clue is enough, I'm not worried about this."

   "Where's Itoyama-sama? Still on the way?"

   "It should be coming soon."

"Then wait for him first." Tao Zhiming asked instead, "Lord Hashimoto, I heard that Mie Yesang insists on raising interest rates, which makes us operators very worried. With the advantage of being a safe-haven currency, foreign capital has withdrawn, and ordinary citizens have begun to reconsider expanding their savings under the high risk of the stock market and foreign exchange market, and the liquidity in the market is even more scarce.”

   Hashimoto Taro smiled instead: "What? Tao Jun's funds are tight now?"

"It's tight!" Tao Zhiming sighed, "You must also know that in the yacht home port in Tokyo, although I am only responsible for building my pier, the hotel and the commercial street next to the home port are me and President Di together. Jointly built, he has undertaken the main funds, but the construction of the marina is very fast, and will be able to welcome my yacht by the end of the year. In addition, 5 headquarters buildings in Tokyo and Osaka have been completed in the past year, and 3 There is a golf course, and the cultural industry park in Hokkaido is more than half completed. I have spent more than a year in Neon. I have encountered a national mourning now...hey."

   He looks like he will have a hard time in the next two months.

Hashimoto Taro also said with emotion: "Tao Jun has indeed invested more than 400 billion yen in the past year, and the construction speed is so fast, not only Governor Suzuki, but also Mr. Takegami is very grateful to you for driving related industries. "

"So, you must not raise interest rates now!" Tao Zhiming said melancholy, "If my dance halls, KTV, golf and yachts still have stable cash flow, I can barely support it. Mr. Hashimoto , Golf and yachts, should be fine, right?"

"certainly."

   "What about the dance hall and KTV?"

  Hashimoto Taro smiled: "You and Dentsu are also very close. Please take care of the media not to report on you, just keep a low profile."

  Tao Zhiming seemed very moved, and then sighed: "Forget it, at least let's take a rest this week."

   At this time, Itoyama Etaro also arrived.

   He came in and said, "I heard you ordered a limited-edition batch of solid gold and diamond cues?"

   "...Itoyama-san, do you want to do this too?"

   Itoyama Eitaro sighed: "Unfortunately, in my capacity, it is not convenient to encourage this kind of atmosphere."

   There are pros and cons. Although his main industry before entering politics was golf, but now his golf course cannot follow the trend of the times. After all, he now has a political status, and everything has to be low-key.

   After sighing, he asked: "Why do you want me to come too? Is it related to the development of Fuduxin? Isn't Tao Jun among the first group of people who most enthusiastically supported this plan?"

   Hashimoto Taro shook his head.

The    people arrived, and the geisha began to present the dishes one after another.

   Since it is Tao Zhiming's restaurant, Hashimoto Taro no longer shy away, and asked frankly: "Tao Jun, can you contact the Tao family now?"

Tao Zhiming's heart moved, and then he asked inexplicably: "Hashimoto-sang, don't you need to contact me through me? Although I know one of them, but since September last year, he left Neon, and it seems that Changed contact information."

   Hashimoto Taro kept looking into his eyes, but didn't say anything.

   Tao Zhiming asked, "Why do you need to contact the Tao family?"

Taro Hashimoto looked at Eitaro Itoyama, and then said calmly: "Why does the Ricurut incident keep escalating, we are also very puzzled now. Tao-kun, if you know something and would like to tell us, I would be grateful. If now If funds are tight, as a great Tibetan minister, I can find a way for you."

  Tao Zhiming smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand what you want to know. Yarenjun and I have not been in contact for several months."

  Hashimoto Taro stared at him: "You already have a lot of business in the United States, do you know the important figures of the American consortium?"

  Tao Zhiming looked back in amazement: "What do you mean, the Ricurut incident... has another purpose? If they have, this matter has been started for half a year, and it should be brought up!"

   Hashimoto Taro was silent.

   Tao Zhiming frowned, pouring wine for the two of them and pretending to think.

   When he stopped pouring wine, Taro Hashimoto quickly asked, "What did you think of?"

Tao Zhiming slowly put down the jug and said hesitantly: "Speaking of which, the president of Citibank called me not long ago. Didn't Sony want to acquire the shares of Columbia Pictures? Mr. Jamie Dimon knows me and the Mitsui Consortium. There is also cooperation, he asked me to find out how much Sony can pay..."

   "What are your thoughts?" Hashimoto Taro's eyes flashed.

Tao Zhiming looked at the two and said Yoyo: "Before, Mitsui had spent more than 600 million yuan to buy the Exxon Building. Later, he said that he would increase the allocation of overseas assets from 10% to 20%. .Sony is the core company of Mitsui, and I also heard from Iwasaki-san that Mitsubishi is also negotiating to buy the Rockefeller Building..."

   Hashimoto Taro and Itoyama Etaro's faces darkened and they remained silent.

  Tao Zhiming came to the conclusion: "I'm afraid it is to weaken the strength of the consortium in Neon's homeland."

   He said with a startled look: "My capital chain!"

   "These guys!" Hashimoto Taro slapped the table hard.

  Tao Zhiming watched him angry silently.

Of course, I am angry. The relationship between politics and the consortium is inseparable. Now that the neon consortium knows that the US capital has raised its scythe and is brewing to harvest the domestic assets of neon, how can they be willing to pay such a premium at this moment. Invest abroad?

When the neon economy such as    collapsed, the consortium’s business in the country was hit hard, and foreign assets could only be sold at a low price.

  Now, the major consortiums of Neon have been under pressure, made some gestures, and invested money abroad.

   Foreign capital is pouring into Neon, but the capital of Neon’s local consortium is going out. Although it has the meaning of overseas layout, the important thing is the proportion.

   At such a moment, will the consortium be willing to continue to choke their necks for the life and death of this cabinet?

   Hashimoto Taro figured this out in an instant and looked at Tao Zhiming.

Tao Zhiming raised his glass and said solemnly: "The situation has begun to become critical. Lord Hashimoto, Lord Itoyama, I actively responded to the development plan of the deputy capital, but I didn't expect this situation to come so quickly! Please also see my contribution. Come on, please help me!"
