Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 471 The man who wants to transform the archipelago

   "The reception at the Xia Guo embassy?" Nobuhiko Horikawa, who received the call, was stunned. "He went with... Tanaka-san?"

   "Yeah!" The person who tipped off Nobuhiko Horikawa said in a low voice, "Also, please go over to meet Tanaka-san now, Mr. Tao."

"…I see."

  Nobuhiko Horikawa hung up the phone, paced up and down the room, and instructed in a deep voice, "Prepare the plane and go to Tokyo!"

   Now that you know that Motoichi Kishima is still in Tokyo, then go to him directly and see what he wants to do.

   Has he been hiding with Tanaka Sakae these past few days? What a brave man.

   Now, I also introduced Tao Zhiming to Ei Tanaka, what was the purpose of that?

Nobuhiko Horikawa hates the feeling of being disrupted, but Motoichi Kijima, who has been low-key for thirteen years, and now suddenly shows a ruthless side, reminds Nobuhiko Horikawa of his actions when Shifu Kodama was still alive. sharp.

   But the current Horikawa Nobuhiko is not comparable to that of the year.

  Compared with the past, he is no longer the deputy chief and chief secretary of a branch, but the president of the entire first persuasion!

   Horikawa Nobuhiko went straight to Tokyo for the inquiry, and the reception was about to begin the official part.

   Before that, a photo wall was used in the venue to display many historical photos of the exchanges between the upper classes and the people of the two countries over the years, as well as beautiful pictures of the tourist scenery in various parts of the Xia Kingdom. Many people from all walks of life in neon who were invited to watch it there.

   But journalists were clearly concerned about the extraordinary specifications of this year's reception. Although the 40th anniversary is a whole number, but Toshi Kaibu, Taro Hashimoto, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of International Trade and Industry are all coming together, it will naturally make people think of more.

   Seeing Wang Yi accompany the ambassador and chatting cordially with the dignitaries, their faces were all smiles, Tao Zhiming couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

  In order to develop, these diplomats in foreign countries are trying to do their job well no matter what thoughts they have in their hearts. At this time, looking at Wang Yi, who was gentle and friendly, and later served as the ambassador to Neon and was known as "Neon Tong", he will become a hard-liner that Neon people can't figure out in the future.

   At this moment, Xia Guo does not want to be blocked, and Neon also has to find a way to find a cushion for the stock market and real estate market that will soon be overturned.

  Tao Zhiming wanted to keep a low profile, but while he had finished chatting with many people, he had just sat down and was about to wait for the official process of the reception to begin, when a reporter came over.

"Tao Jun, I'm a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun..." The question was a middle-aged man with glasses holding a small notebook, and behind him was a man with a camera, "As a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, this is your first I was invited to the reception for the second time. Did the Ambassador talk to you about inviting you to invest in Xia Guo?”

Tao Zhiming looked at the camera over there, although he smiled indifferently: "Everyone in the embassy is very conscientious and really talked about these things. In fact, the trading company I founded also has a lot of import and export transactions with Xia Guo, It has suffered a lot in the past few months. As an entrepreneur, I still hope to have unobstructed trade channels.”

   "There is indeed such a voice." The reporter seemed to affirm him, and then his eyes turned slyly again, "I want to know, as Tao Jun, will you invest in Xia Guo on a large scale in the future?"

   "My identity?" Tao Zhiming raised the corners of his mouth, "What is my identity?"

"Naturally you are the most outstanding entrepreneur of the younger generation, which is why the officials of the embassy attach great importance to you." The reporter then added with a smile, "Besides, you are a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, which has always been the focus of the Xia Kingdom. A group of people who want to solicit investment.”

Tao Zhiming nodded suddenly, and then said without leakage: "I am an entrepreneur. When making or adjusting a new business plan, I always consider the investment and return. Therefore, we must wait until the future to see what will happen in the future. Speaking of which, Sakano-kun, right, the Tokyo Yachting Home Port will be officially opened soon, please come and report."

   "Is it going to open soon? The hotel there hasn't been built yet..."

  Tao Zhiming seemed to be about to start in the stands, so he interrupted him: "Sakano-kun, the reception is about to officially start. I will send an official invitation to your company later, and I hope to see Sakano-kun at that time."

"…excuse me."

   The reporter from The Yomiuri Shimbun moved his eyes slightly, and then left with a little arrogance in his eyes, ready to get other reporting materials.

   Tao Zhiming didn't even look at him, but he remembered the name.

   If you have to get together to make some big news, then you have to greet him and enjoy some treatment.

  These speeches, speeches, and performances at the meeting, although Tao Zhiming looked at it, he was thinking about the situation where Motoichi Kijima asked him to meet Tanaka Eiji before.

   There is no mention of Kitakyu Yuko. With the status of Tanaka Sakae, it is not certain whether he knows the existence of Kitakyuyuko.

   His attitude towards Motoichi Kijima was also quite strange. It would be too outrageous to say that he was threatened by the secret that Motoichi Kijima possessed. Motoichi Kijima, a broker who used to rely on Shifu Kodama, does Tanaka Eiji need to look at him?

   At this level, the fight has never been any real "evidence". The reason why Tanaka Eiji has been safe and sound until now is precisely because although his "Tanaka faction" is gone, there are so many disciples and former officials, and his influence is still there.

   So Tanaka Sakae respected Kishima Motoichi's attitude, and Hashimoto Taro even came over to chat for a few words, what was the situation?

  Tan Zhongrong also took the initiative to ask Tao Zhiming to talk after the reception, which is even more intriguing.

   Unfortunately, now is not the time to explore these.

  Tao Zhiming just felt that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting. Nobuhiko Horikawa called and said he was on his way to Tokyo. Waiting for the reception to end, wouldn't it be a staged showdown?

  …

   From Osaka to Tokyo, it takes five or six hours to drive.

   For such a long time, Horikawa Nobuhiko only set off after getting the news, it would really be midnight.

   But the president who persuaded the silver first, as long as he wanted to catch the fastest time, would naturally also be able to arrive at the first time by plane.

   After the car picked up Nobuhiko Horikawa from the airport, it drove to the door of the hotel where the reception was held as quickly as possible. After that, Nobuhiko Horikawa was waiting in the car.

   Looking at the time, the formal process of the reception lasted about two hours. When he set off, it was only at the stage when the previous guests were present.

   The subordinate went down and asked the service staff of the hotel, and he had not left the venue, so he continued to wait.

   Speaking of which, Nobuhiko Horikawa can confirm that Motoichi Kijima did not receive an invitation letter. So, could it be that Tanaka Rong took him there?

   After seeing that someone started to come out, Horikawa Nobuhiko called Tao Zhiming again.

   At this reception, many people knew him Nobuhiko Horikawa. Do you have to go directly to the door to wait and greet so many people?

  Tao Zhiming's mobile phone was not carried with him, but was temporarily handed over to Ogata Toshio.

   After receiving the call, he went to the door of the banquet hall to find Tao Zhiming.

  Tao Zhiming listened to him, so with a playful smile, he picked up his mobile phone and walked to a secluded place outside: "Horikawa-san, you have arrived in Tokyo so soon."

   "Of course." Nobuhiko Horikawa ignored the ridicule in his words and said calmly, "Please tell Tao Jun to tell Kishima-san, things have to be resolved."

"Kishima-san's intention seems to be exactly this. Tanaka-san has already made an appointment with me. After the reception is over, I will go to my restaurant. Horikawa-san, if it is not convenient for you to show up now, just go directly, we are about to leave. Now, let Minfu lead the way."

   "...Okay, sorry for the trouble."

After    handed the mobile phone to Toshio Ogata, Tao Zhiming ordered Toshio Ogata to lead the way.

   After returning to the scene of the reception, people were already leaving one after another.

  Tao Zhiming did not shy away. After saying goodbye to the ambassador, Wang Yi and others, he walked over to Tanaka Eiji and Kishima Motoichi: "Lord Tanaka, Kishima-san, when is the right time for us to set off?"

  Tanaka Rong seems to have expected it early. Although his body is not as good as before after a cerebral infarction, his eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "If that's the case, then let's go."

   Seeing Tanaka Rong and Tao Zhiming get together again, and after saying goodbye to the others, they left together. Many people who knew Tao Zhiming before were stunned.

   Didn’t we just meet on this occasion, let’s get to know each other? Why do these two have a personal relationship? Who is the other old man?

  After the car left, no one had to follow their whereabouts, except for the one who was still chasing after the case thirteen years ago.

  Tao Zhiming thought about this question for a while, then after a little thought, he calmly dealt with it.

   He and Tanaka Sakae were indeed meeting for the first time. Besides, this case is being handled by the Tokyo District Prosecutor. Unless the Taoya people don't want to push the plan forward, or in the current framework of Sanyou Investment Bank, no one can replace their role.

On the way, Tanaka Rong was not like the scene of the previous reception. People said relaxedly: "Tao Jun, I haven't heard your name less in the past two years. I met today, and the bearing is really not young at this age. what a man can have.”

  Tao Zhiming is very modest: "Tanaka-sama is a legend. You are a person who has already affirmed Qingshi Liufang. It is a rare opportunity to ask you for advice."

   "Are you in Qingshi Liufang?" Tanaka Rong smiled heartily, but then said leisurely, "The merits and demerits are nothing more than comments from others. My life is almost over, and these are no longer important to me."

   "It's already Heisei, but I believe that in ten, twenty, thirty years, when people think back to the Showa era, you must be one of the first three characters that the Neon people can think of!"

  Tao Zhiming's tone surprised Tanaka Rong, looked at Tao Zhiming seriously, and found that his eyes were very determined.

   "...Tao Jun's evaluation, I can't take it." The Showa era lasted for 61 years. How many major events happened in this process? Tanaka Rong felt that Tao Zhiming was deliberately touting.

   But Tanaka Rong, as the person who promoted the establishment of diplomatic relations between Xia Guo and Neon, is not only known to Xia Guo people because of this matter, but people who are interested will naturally notice his other actions.

Tao Zhiming said, "Isn't Tanaka-sama's "Neon Archipelago Transformation Theory" a book that pointed out the direction for the next 20 to 30 years for Neon, which had just become the world's second largest economy? This political book ranks fourth on the bestseller list, and it's not just because of your fame. There is a passage in it that I talked to Sun Jun of SoftBank, and I am very impressed that you were able to make such a conclusion at the time."

   "Oh? Which paragraph?" Tanaka Eiji felt curious. Could it be that he had prepared so much in order to flatter himself? But since he suffered a cerebral infarction four years ago, his influence has long since disappeared. Tanaka Eiji has his own information channels, knowing that this young man has extraordinary energy now, so he shouldn't need to brag about himself so deliberately.

Tao Zhiming replied: "In the era of communication network, the main character of electronic computer is used to process information. Electronic computer is a communication loop line that connects workshops and homes, just like the trains of the railway shinkansen running on the rails, transporting us. The same. We also use the electronic computer through the communication loop, and let the electronic computer report the data calculated by it to us immediately through the loop, which is the news information communication."

Tanaka Eiji really believed him a bit this time, and after a long silence he laughed: "Although personal computers are on the rise, the communication network is still only a closed existence in an isolated island. My thoughts seem to be a fantasy. !"

Tao Zhiming smiled: "But Sun Jun and I are very sure that the era you are talking about will definitely come, and it should be not far away. At that time, the assertion in "Theory of Reconstruction of Islands" reversed the excessive trend through the power of civil construction. The wave of urban concentration, the realization of the re-distribution of industries nationwide, the use of railway lines and expressways to match the communication network, to eliminate the distinction between urban and rural areas, 'outside neon' and 'inner neon', such a vision is really admirable ."

   Moto Kijima, who was sitting in the front row, didn't look sideways at all, but he admired it in his heart.

   This Tao Zhiming absolutely did not expect to see Tanaka Rong today, so these remarks are not well prepared in advance.

   However, he knew very well that Tao Zhiming's words came to Tanaka Rong's heart.

   Sure enough, Tanaka Eiyo said: "You didn't mention my so-called 'civilian prime minister' experience, but you talked about these distant visions..."

He looked at the bustling Tokyo night view outside the window and smiled to himself: "Now that real estate prices are soaring, people will remember that I vigorously promoted civil engineering more than ten years ago. Is it one of the first three people to be remembered in the Showa era? That probably hates me for bringing Neon to the point where real estate prices in Tokyo are unattainable?"

"How could it be?" Tao Zhiming said quietly, "Whether it was to promote the development of the semiconductor industry at that time, or to hope that Neon not only had a few big cities to develop well, or that Neon would no longer be involved in diplomacy. Subject to the predicament of the United States, it is even necessary to add many subordinates to enhance the influence of the cabinet on the bureaucracy. After many years, the Neon people will finally remember the significance of all your actions at the beginning. At that time, people will understand that it was wrong. It's not you, it's the situation at that time. After all, the time given to you by the times is too short."

  Tan Zhongrong saw Tao Zhiming for the first time today. Hearing these words from him in the car, he couldn't help feeling inexplicable for a while in his old age, and he felt a sense of confidant.

   He had to admit that this young man looked at what he did back then and stood at an unprecedented height.

   So he looked at Tao Zhiming deeply: "Thank you for your words. Tao Jun, he is indeed someone who can do this at his age."

   He paused and said, "Don't worry when you see Horikawa-kun."

  Tao Zhiming didn't justify anything. I didn't say this to meet later.

   For Tao Zhiming, the reason why he said this to Tanaka Eiji and the reason why he looked at Hashimoto Taro differently is just because both of them are more friendly to Xia Guo in terms of their positions.

   Although they hold this position, the purpose is only for neon.

   As Tao Zhiming said, he made such a big layout with the courage at that time, breaking through the situation that Neon had no foreign balance in its diplomatic position. By formally establishing diplomatic relations with Xia Guo, Neon has a bargaining chip since then. At this moment, facing the coming big waves, Haibu Jun and the others enjoyed this convenience.

The situation this evening will naturally be spread through various channels. Neon took the lead in restoring investment and trade in the Xia Kingdom this year. As a result, Jun Haibu was able to hold steady for more than two years, becoming the collapsed era of the entire Neon 1990s. One of the prime ministers of the time.

   So Tanaka Sakae, the "destroyer", is destined to face a lot of resistance. His ending is not surprising at all.

  The car arrived at Taoranting, and the three of them didn't disturb anyone and went straight into the nameless courtyard.

  Nobuhiko Horikawa heard the movement and came to the door ahead of time, bowing to say hello: "Tanaka-san, long time no see."

"Horikawa-kun, I haven't congratulated you for being the chairman of Daiichi Kanye Bank." Tanaka Rong said with a smile, and then said, "Kishima-san and I are both old, and the night wind is a little cold. Well, come and sit inside."

   "...Please." Horikawa Nobuhiko lowered his head.

   In a word, the distinction between intimacy and estrangement is already obvious.

  Tao Zhiming looked at Horikawa Nobuhiko meaningfully.

   So, what is the relationship between these people?

  Shifu Kodama... Shouldn't he represent the interests of people like Tanaka Sakae who emerged from the common people?

   Is Motoichi Kishima an undercover agent?

   2 updates have been restored, ask for a monthly pass!
