Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Tao Zhiming smiled and nodded: "Yangshui is still on the plane back to Tokyo, you can talk to him first tomorrow, and then start taking over RIVA with Mr. Baron Berger from KPMG. Mr. Leonardo, Regarding the fund cooperation, please go to the side with Luna and Nick to discuss the signing of the cooperation agreement in detail."

It was Luna Onodera and Nick Satian who were brought by Tao Zhiming. This Leonardo Brundi was naturally the ostensible manager of the fund established by Tao Yaren and Hector.

Fortunately, Mishima said with great interest: "I have paid my respects to President Tao, then I will resign first."

Tao Yaren nodded: "You go."

Came here at meal time, and then left directly, Tao Yaren was also showing Tao Zhiming how obedient this subordinate is.After all, on the surface, RIVA is Tao Zhiming, and he is a professional manager hired by Tao Zhiming.But he obeyed Tao Yaren's words, and Tao Yaren expressed: he attaches great importance to Riva and this fund.

Tao Zhiming was also happy to have a private discussion with him, and he showed that he cared more about making appointments with these small treasuries.

Katsuna was unable to continue serving them for dinner. The two sat opposite each other in the room. Tao Zhiming looked at him and sighed: "Master Yaren, I was surprised to hear Mrs. Li's proposal in Xiangdao."

Tao Yaren replied lightly: "I told Dalang the first time. The Tao family has many friends."

"There are indeed a lot." Tao Zhiming nodded sincerely. After all, the United States is the strongest now. Of course, there are many people who recognize the United States from the bottom of their hearts and have their interests bound. Information, and the shares of the TV station... are very hot."

"Dalang, you have more and more businesses." Tao Yaren said lightly, "Your plans in Nihong and Xiangdao are no longer limited to financial and real estate investments, but involve There are many practices. Music, movies, animation, and comics all need publicity, and leisure products and services such as yachts, KTV, dance halls, and golf also need publicity. If you can have a certain right to speak in the real media, why not Would you like to?"

"Few benefits, but a lot of trouble." Tao Zhiming pretended not to be happy, "Ya Ren, you are the most suitable to do this. Isn't it better for me to cooperate with you?"

Tao Yaren looked at him quietly and remained silent for a while.

Afterwards, he tentatively asked: "A few months ago, after Akina Nakamori committed suicide, the public relations operation was your handwriting, right?"

After saying a word, Tao Yaren looked at him seriously.

Tao Zhiming frowned, with a puzzled expression.

He knew Tao Ya was just testing, this was his sense of being a lackey, and his routine before waiting for the talks to get down to business.

The reason why "Weekly Wenchun" has been able to stand up for such a long time is because they always keep the whistleblowers secret.What's more, Huona Jiangyangshui was thrown directly into the mailbox on the side of the road.

Their eyes met, and the previously warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Chapter 389, Poison Bait

Now that Tao Yaren asked, Tao Zhiming no longer shy away from the taboo, but first avoided the important ones: "After all, it has something to do with the music festival we are organizing. I asked Huona Jiangyangshui to discuss with Neon Warner and establish a new image for her. Announce that song in advance."

Tao Yaren was silent when he heard the words, picked up the wine glass first, thought again and said clearly: "I'm talking about the revelations against Johnny & Associates. Dalang, you have shot Kondo Masahiko before, and you have this motive .”

Tao Zhiming looked at him without making any movements.His tone was not salty or weak: "Master Yaren, I cherish my woman very much. Masahiko Kondo ignored my rules and called my woman to go when he was drunk. This violated my bottom line. I just aimed at that woman. One thing, after meeting with Kitagawa, will I still target Johnny & Associates?"

Tao Yaren was still holding wine. According to the neon wine table culture, everyone should raise their glasses at the same time in principle.

Seeing Tao Zhiming sitting upright without moving, Tao Yaren looked at him sharply, and said seriously: "Da Lang, if you can communicate with me frankly on this issue, I will give you unimaginable support, no matter what Is it in Neon, or in Xiangdao."

After meeting for the first time, it was the first time Tao Yaren put on the "I'm more awesome than you imagined" score again.

Tao Zhiming understands why, because he has now begun to establish self-interest with himself, and he has to consider whether he will touch the basic "mission" he shoulders in the future.

So Tao Zhiming smiled slightly, and instead raised his wine glass: "Since Masato-kun doubts me, I don't bother to argue. Masato-kun, I know you and Kitagawa are very familiar, maybe it's not just friendship. Since you mentioned honest communication, So can you tell me, why do you care about this? Also, what exactly is the so-called unimaginable support?"

In the previous exchanges, although Tao Zhiming knew it well, and Tao Yaren also said high-sounding big words, after all, he never personally stated his mission in the most pragmatic words: to instill certain ideas in Asia, to paralyze certain ideas, To provoke some opposition.

Now that he has expectations for himself, of course he has to take the initiative to say it himself!

Tao Zhiming pretended not to understand why he suddenly took this matter to doubt himself at the moment when the two sides had just established closer cooperation.

Tao Yaren was thinking about how to answer.

Tao Zhiming is very calm, because the current situation is very clear, what is aimed at Johnny & Associates is by no means an obstacle.

After all, Tao Yaren brought someone here to connect with Tao Zhiming, and what he wanted was just an attitude.

And Tao Zhiming is already quite capable, and he is young, so he can pretend to be young and energetic, and don't take this trouble, and don't give this attitude.

Unless Tao Yaren took the initiative to reveal his true purpose and show more sincerity.

Facing the ball thrown back, Tao Yaren gestured with his wine glass, and then drank it.

Tao Zhiming also smiled, and put down after drinking.

"Dalang, why do you value Xiangdao so much?"

Are you still exploring?Tao Zhiming replied calmly: "Ya Ren, why do you think I am? Today's atmosphere is getting more and more strange."

Looking at Tao Zhiming's calm face, Tao Yaren found that his questioning was very passive.

Then he smiled heartily: "Now we are both friends and close partners. Dalang must also be very curious about the Tao family and interested in my story, right?"

"Does Yaren-kun want to let everyone know each other better?" Tao Zhiming also laughed suddenly, "Everyone in Tokyo knows my growth experience very well. The experience of the Tao family and Yaren-jun, I am sure very interested."

As he spoke, he also picked up the jug to refill Tao Yaren's wine.Such a gesture is to regard Tao Yaren as a more important person.

Tao Yaren felt a lot better, and then recalled, "Actually, my surname was not Tao. To be precise, I didn't even know what my surname was. Has Mr. Tao heard of tribal people?"

Tao Zhiming's eyes froze, and then he said with emotion: "Is Mr. Ya Ren actually from such a background? It's really amazing to be able to reach this level now."

In the era of the shogunate, some people who were engaged in low-level industries such as slaughtering and leather, or who were beggars, vagrants, and criminals were called filthy, or even inhuman, and were excluded from the four people of the scholar, peasant, business, and industry. Title: Burakumin.

At that time, the Burakumin were at the bottom of society and suffered from discrimination and oppression.

In the Restoration Era, although the abolition of titles such as Suduo and Inhuman were announced, it indicated that their status was the same as that of civilians.But in Neon, a society that places great emphasis on bloodlines and family inheritance, the actual situation has not improved.

In fact, until 8 years ago, due to the efforts of the Burakumin Liberation Alliance, the "Dowa Countermeasures Project Special Measures Act" was designed to change this situation. After 10 years of implementation, it had no good effect and had to be extended for several years.

These tribal people are out-and-out, native-born neon people in terms of blood.However, Burakumin origin is still the most despised in terms of employment, education, and intermarriage.

It is a bit outrageous that most of the Burakumin in the city are divided and live in certain Tonghe communities that are used to "assimilate the Burakumin". Therefore, people living in those areas have an invisible ID card.In order to avoid people's eyes, some people from Burakumin background often have to buy tram or bus tickets at the previous or next nearby stop deliberately, so as to avoid being looked at strangely by others.

Now, Tao Yaren actually revealed his identity and background to him, which can be said to be very sincere, at least in the neon culture.

"So, being adopted as a adopted son by my father and being given the opportunity to receive education, what I said when I met Tao Jun for the first time is exactly the concept that our Tao family sincerely recognizes. Shouldn't people be born with Is it equal? ​​Even though due to later development, some people are rich, some people are still poor. Poor people are willing to sell their dignity to do something in order to change their social status and become rich. It's their free choice."

Although what he said last time was respect for different hobbies, viewpoints and beliefs, freedom and peace, Tao Zhiming nodded in agreement.

Later, I heard from Tao Yaren that his "father" was also from a tribe, how he started his business step by step, and finally immigrated to the United States, and made a rule that the Tao family will always only inherit from the sons of the tribe. .

Tao Zhiming gradually figured out the origin of the Tao family.

Due to their origin and the discrimination they suffer, discrimination is also the biggest source of yakuza.And during the period when the United States directly managed the neon lights after the war, it borrowed the power of the extreme way a lot.

Born in the lowest class of the neon society, he is dissatisfied with the property rights of the neon and the vested interests of the old Chinese.That set of equality and freedom is easy to capture their hearts, not to mention that it is something that the most powerful United States "identifies".

From the "thugs" and "tools" 40 years ago, after Neon established a new structure, it became the spokesperson for the interests of the big capital behind the scenes in the United States. Business, this is their context.

Of course Tao Yaren didn't say these directly, but what he said was enough.

In the end, I only heard Tao Yaren say: "Asia is the place with the longest inheritance in the age of strict class. The Tao family started from the empathy of their own background, so they are so persistent in the media industry, hoping to awaken the kindness in the hearts of all ordinary people. Let everyone realize the importance of equality, freedom, and respect. This is the symbol of civilization! Dalang, I want to know if you are targeting Kitagawa, and why you attach so much importance to Kashima, I just hope to understand Tao Jun's views on these issues."

Tao Zhiming would not admit that Johnny's agency's revelation was his own doing, and said with a smile: "I was more violent towards Masahiko Kondo when I was drunk, and now I want to do something in Xiangdao, it's just a very simple reason. .I'm just an ordinary person with my own likes and desires. Possessiveness and vanity, very simple reason."

Tao Yaren looked at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Because you are from Xia Kingdom, do you want to enjoy the reverence in front of your fellow clan?"

"Mr. Yaren, it's probably because when I was growing up, my grandfather and father had already tasted the hardships of life, but they protected me very well. So the discrimination I suffered was not deep enough. Now that I have strength and status, It's just that he is more sensitive to women and face." Tao Zhiming established his own personality towards him, and his smile seemed to be a confidant, "I agree with what Mr. Yaren said, especially about these things. It's the statement of 'free choice', I agree very much! I use these to convince myself that I accept more than one woman with peace of mind!"

"So, for the sake of face and vanity that Da Lang said, wouldn't it be better to publicize your reputation through the media?" Tao Yaren looked puzzled, "Why do you think the shares of the TV station are troublesome?"

"As long as I don't offend their interests, I'm a popular person. If it invades their own interests, it will be troublesome. After all, the focus of my career is in Neon, and most of the investment in Xiangdao is It is related to entertainment, and it is an industry that does not exist now. But the media such as TV station is the hot field where the Xiangdao family competes."

Seeing that he had been avoiding this topic, Tao Yaren drank a glass of wine with him again, this time pouring wine for Tao Zhiming himself, and then said: "Da Lang, avoid competition, it's not you I know."

He looked at Tao Zhiming meaningfully: "Iwasaki Kuranosuke never made you afraid."

"Afraid!" Tao Zhiming shook his head, "But at that time, I couldn't help myself and had to gamble the whole future to try to gain a foothold. Even if I was afraid, I could only encourage myself to fight hard. But now there are In addition to the wealth, women, and many cherished friends that I want to protect, even my investment strategy can only become conservative very quickly. If this is not the case, I dare to promise more to Ya Renjun and Hector yield. But then the risk is too great.”

Tao Yaren smiled: "If you're only worried about risks, then there's no need. Dalang, if you're worried about not having enough strength in Xiangdao, then I'd like to remind you again: the Tao family has many friends. "

"I just wanted to ask, who are the friends of Mr. Ya Ren in Xiangdao?" Tao Zhiming looked forward with burning eyes.

"Mr. Tao already knows about the beneficial family. In addition, the three Li families in Xiangdao, as well as the Guo family and the Zheng family, are all friends of the Tao family."

Tao Zhiming called him a good guy, but it was not surprising.

So he was puzzled: "Mr. Yaren, since the Tao family has so many friends in Xiangdao, why do you have to come forward?"

"Because Dalang and the Huo family have a very good friendship."

Tao Zhiming asked in astonishment: "What is the reason?"

Tao Yaren said helplessly: "Mr. Shao of TVB, the management method is too authoritarian, and even the staff feel the oppression. But he is also a man of great skill, and he has a good relationship with the Huo family. I invite other friends to come forward, Mr. Shao will definitely be very vigilant. But if Dalang reached this deal with the Li family by virtue of his reputation for being good at investment, and the Huo family recommended him, then Mr. Shao would not be too sensitive , and other measures have been taken.”

Tao Zhiming nodded suddenly, and then said strangely: "Mr. Yaren, if you let me do this, my reputation in Xiangdao will be bad in the future. I will turn against Mr. Shao and Mr. Huo in one go."

"Where can we talk about hostility? We just want to make the management of wireless TV stations more in line with the needs of the future. Still using that rigid model to promote those backward concepts will not be able to attract young audiences." Tao Yaren also added, "What's more, wouldn't Dalang consider returning home in real clothes in the future, and going to the mainland of Xia to influence more people?"

Seeing his bewitching expression, Tao Zhiming thought the real drama was coming.

Their layout of Xiangdao is really to take advantage of Xiangdao's influence on the mainland, and first package Xiangdao, a "successful template" and a more advanced place, into what it looks like.

Finally, the opportunities brought about by Xiangdao as a transit trade and financial transit center are packaged as being successful due to the advanced system and culture.

Seeing how Tao Yaren was beating around the bush today and tirelessly persuading Tao Zhiming to do this, Tao Zhiming probably understood his thinking.

Maybe he thinks that his so-called "returning home" has never set foot in the mainland, but only went to Xiangdao, where the lifestyle is closer and more prosperous, probably because he grew up in neon lights, and he is more inclined to what the West preaches those.

In addition, the Chinese who have acquired the nationality of other countries are naturally the best tools to input "experience" to the mainland at this stage.

Tao Yaren took a fancy to his own identity, his ability, and perhaps his plasticity of being too young and "not deeply involved in the world".

Seeing that the situation was developing step by step in the direction he expected, Tao Zhiming laughed happily: "Xia Guo's interior is indeed too backward now, and I heard that there are too many restrictions on various rules. But in the future If I get the chance, I want to go and see it. Although my late father doesn’t care much about it anymore, I heard it was my grandfather’s last wish.”

"That's right!" Tao Yaren nodded in agreement, "Dalang doesn't have to worry too much. You want to focus on eating, drinking, and entertainment. There is no conflict at all. Magazines in these fields are also part of the media, and they are related to the media. The daily life that is most closely related to ordinary people. How people live in developed places should be seen by people all over the world! Moreover, I have always believed that Dalang’s influence in finance and economics is too great not to be fully utilized. Pity……"

"The whole world?" Tao Zhiming tutted, "Influence in finance and economics... In fact, I was too young and felt that the foundation was not solid enough. If I want to be serious about the media... then I have to Let’s train the team on the Nihong side first... Ya Ren, is there any field that can be cut into from the Nihong side?”

"Of course." Tao Yaren Zhizhu said with a smile, "Mr. Bloomberg is already preparing to start a news agency, Dalang, and he plans to reserve 5% of the shares for me and you for future neon news. Access to information. The reason why these shares can be reserved for us is because we have a relationship with the Neon Economic News Agency..."

As he narrated, Tao Zhiming gradually became a little dumbfounded.

It's a big game of chess. Bloomberg's ambitions, or the ambitions of Huajie Capital, which supports him behind him, are really big enough.

Grabbing Toshiba Machinery's previous excuse, it is still chasing after it.

Mitsui’s shares in the Neon Economic News Agency and its subsidiary TV Tokyo were forced to sell by them to punish them for their “selective reporting” on the Neon Consortium.

The Miguo and the Tao family have been operating in Nihong for many years, and now they have been quite effective.

Dentsu owns shares in Neon Economic News Agency and TV Tokyo.

Some other friends of the Tao family also own a small amount of shares.

In addition, after the financial opening, the shares purchased through the secondary market have been successively purchased.

On Tao Zhiming's side, he happened to hold part of TV Tokyo's shares through Sanyou Investment Bank.

And Tao Zhiming and the Mitsui Foundation have a very good relationship at present...

These people are planning to really take over the most influential financial media among the mid-level and high-level neon companies that have been established for more than 100 years.

"...You mean, when the time is right in the future, you can nominate me to be the chairman of TV Tokyo?"

"It's good for your dimensional culture and Wander Star, isn't it?" Tao Ya said with a smile.

Tao Zhiming called him a good guy, but how can there be such a good thing in the world?

So he asked bluntly: "Aside from funds, what does the Tao family expect me to pay?"

Tao Yaren raised his wine glass and said solemnly, "I hope Dalang will do two things."

"Speaking!"

"I have already convinced the head of the family that I can provide Dalang with a loan of 10 billion yuan. The first thing is that I hope Dalang will compete for the chairman of the trust charity fund! The second thing is that I hope Dalang has enough money. Confidently, promote the plan of the Tokyo sub-center!"

Tao Zhiming's pupils shrank suddenly.

This bait is poisonous!

Chapter 390, Fukani Riko

"10 billion yuan?" Tao Zhiming couldn't help but confirm whether he heard it wrong.

"That's right, 10 billion yuan." Tao Yaren said with certainty, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, "If Dalang wants to participate in the equity purchase plan of TVB TV or TV Tokyo, the funds needed should be Yes. But the plan for the sub-center of Tokyo must be very difficult for Dalang, right? After all, I heard that you need to spend more than one billion yuan to buy the land."

"...a loan of 10 billion yuan, what about the interest?"

"Only interest on the Neon base lending rate."

Tao Zhiming took a deep breath, this f*cking courage was too great.

Seeing him pondering, Tao Yaren said: "The Tao family has a lot of real estate in the whole of Tokyo that can benefit from this matter. Dalang should understand this. In addition, you are the most suitable and easiest way to transfer this matter now." The person who pushes things forward as quickly as possible.”

Tao Zhiming really felt his heart beat.
