The yacht arranged by Teresa was exactly the one Tao Zhiming planned to order for Ueda Shana.

The yacht over 30 meters slowly left the dock area of ​​Shinagawa. The people Teresa arranged to serve on board were not the neon girls, but two Caucasian faces.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke did not expect this scene. His eyes did not stop at their yacht-style swimsuits, but he said to Tao Zhiming as if to get closer: "Tao Jun, I also heard about the Nanpu Bay in Hokkaido.

Thoughts. Now that I see this yacht, it seems that Tao Jun is serious."

He didn't look at it, but Tao Zhiming smiled and admired the scenery that was very different from the neon girl.

Seeing that they left the reception area on the main deck and went to the lower deck, Tao Zhiming said to Teresa: "Miss Teresa, I'm chatting with Iwasaki-san. Please introduce Yang Shui to the yacht first.

It’s about playing and maintaining things.”

The reception area became quiet, with only the sounds of yacht engines and water waves.

"Iwasaki-san, you actually have my contact information, right? It's not necessary to make an appointment through Masato-kun." Tao Zhiming smiled and raised the glass, which contained the good champagne arranged by Teresa, "I'm actually quite simple.

I won't offend others unless they offend me. Although I had enmity with Kuranosuke before, I made it very clear that this has nothing to do with the Iwasaki family or the large group of Mitsubishi."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke also picked up the cup and drank it calmly before saying, "I'm really lucky that Mr. Tao can think like this. More than a year has passed, and I have been trying to find a suitable opportunity to meet Mr. Tao.

, let the past pass completely.”

Tao Zhiming watched him secretly, went to the meeting alone, and drank the wine arranged by the person who had killed his brother without hesitation. This Ryuunosuke was very special. Why wasn't he the head of the family back then? Because Iwasaki Kuranosuke

Is he the eldest son?

Hearing his words, Tao Zhiming sighed: "I can't believe that the past things can be completely gone. For example, the head of the Chiyan family has taken action against me before. Although it was because of Yang Shui's attack on his grandfather.

I am very opposed to this approach, and leaving the Akaiwa family will greatly damage the plans of the Akaiwa family leader in Shueisha, but after all, I still feel Mitsubishi's hostility towards me."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke was silent for a while, then smiled casually and said: "I can't judge Akaiwa-san's decision, but I can definitely tell Mr. Tao that it is not the will of Mitsubishi as a whole."

In fact, given the current situation, none of the major Mitsubishi families expected that Tao Zhiming's strength would expand so quickly.

At that time, facing the request of Iwasaki Kuranosuke, Tao Chiming and Kinoshita Hidefeng had to scrape together everything, and with the help of Mitsui, they were able to collect 100 billion yen in cash.

But just one year later, Tao Zhiming was able to spend more than 100 billion yen on his own and began to help First Quanye Bank complete the bond issuance.

Even Daiichi Industrial Bank has provided such great help, but what about Sumitomo and Mitsui?

Involving the core interests of the three major consortiums, even if the procedures and processes in subsequent loans are not so perfect, there is no way to criticize them.

After all, whose house is completely clean?

The important thing is that he really has strong enough strength. Although it is not as good as these old families, he has obviously consciously built a circle of interests that are closely related to him, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

Mitsui, Daiichi Quanye, and now Hokkaido's Kozo Matsukata...

Tao Zhiming looked at his serious eyes, smiled and declined to comment, and then asked: "I heard from Masato that Iwasaki-san wants to talk to me about Mitsubishi Bank bonds?"

"Yes." Iwasaki Ryunosuke paused and said sincerely, "Actually, I want to establish a new relationship with Tao Jun through this matter. If Tao Jun feels that Mitsubishi's bonds are valuable, he is willing to subscribe for some, no matter how much.

It doesn’t matter. In addition, Mitsubishi can also re-establish cooperation with Tao Jun’s club and extend credit to Tao Jun personally.”

Tao Zhiming nodded after hearing this, then stood up, holding a champagne glass in his hand, and said, "Iwasaki-san, let's take a look at the scenery."

There is an open-air resting area on the deck outside the reception area. Tao Zhiming held a cup and looked at the fading Tokyo Bay. Amidst the waves and the sound of the engine, he asked: "Iwasaki-san, establishing a new relationship with me is the common destiny of Mitsubishi."

Decision, or your idea?”

Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked at him, then moved his eyes to look at the night scene: "It started because of the Iwasaki family, and it ended because of the Iwasaki family. It's just my idea now, but Mitsubishi will welcome my idea."

"Iwasaki-san, don't you hate me?" Tao Zhiming asked bluntly.

"Mr. Tao, the Iwasaki family has existed for many years." Ryunosuke Iwasaki smiled calmly, "I'm not worried that Mr. Tao will hate our Iwasaki family. Will Mr. Tao be worried that the Iwasaki family hates you? If the Iwasaki family can't be rational.

How could it continue to this day if we look at things we encounter in a prudent manner and handle crises rationally?”

"...That's right." Tao Zhiming smiled, "Iwasaki-san has a broad mind and far-reaching vision, which I admire very much."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke raised his champagne glass and looked at him, and said seriously: "Mr. Tao, Kuranosuke committed suicide and apologized. At that time, the Iwasaki family also paid a sum of money to compensate you. If you think you need me to provide any further proof,

If I sincerely want to turn enemies into friends, please feel free to say so."

Tao Zhiming smiled and clinked the glass with him: "Actually, I have always liked to make friends, but I don't like to make enemies. Iwasaki-san, you say this, which makes me feel a little ashamed. But what should I do if the head of the Chiyan family is hostile to me?

?”

Ryunosuke Iwasaki smiled confidently: "There are many directors at Mitsubishi. Within a large group, it is normal for there to be a few opinions, isn't it?"

Tao Zhiming took a sip of wine and quietly looked at the bay in the night. It was unclear whether he was sincere or had ulterior motives.

Judging from the meaning of his words, Mitsubishi is not encountering difficulties in bond issuance and cannot do without Tao Zhiming. This matter is more like an olive branch extended by Ryunosuke Iwasaki.

After all, Mitsubishi is such a behemoth. How could a normal person be willing to be treated as an enemy instead of a friend?

The problem is that in last year's incident, even if we only count the profits, due to Tao Zhiming's operation, Mitsubishi's indirect losses in the private reform of national railways may be as high as hundreds of billions of yen. Even if the direct losses are calculated, there are tens of billions of yen.

This is no small grudge, let alone Iwasaki Kuranosuke's death, and the Iwasaki family's status is marginalized.

It is true that Tao Zhiming's strength is not what it used to be, but with Mitsubishi's status, there is no need to lose face and proactively seek cooperation with Tao Zhiming.

What exactly is Iwasaki Ryunosuke’s purpose?

Tao Zhiming could only think of two things at the moment.

First of all, it is impossible for Mitsubishi to recover its previous losses from Tao Zhiming. From a profit perspective, by cooperating with Tao Zhiming, it can earn more in the future, which is a choice that a rational interest group should make. The Iwasaki family themselves

To play such a role of meritorious deeds and help Mitsubishi make more money will help the Iwasaki family's position within Mitsubishi to be stable or even improved.

Secondly, maybe Iwasaki Ryuunosuke really doesn’t hate Tao Zhiming. After all, who knows what the relationship between these wealthy brothers is like? Maybe because Iwasaki Kuranosuke died, Iwasaki Ryuunosuke clapped in private and thanked Tao very much.

What about Zhiming? And Tao Zhiming's strength is increasing day by day. Maybe he is a little worried that Tao Zhiming still hates the Iwasaki family in his heart. What if he and other Mitsubishi families come together to completely devour the Iwasaki family in the future?

Thinking about it in his mind, Tao Zhiming suddenly pointed to a dim artificial island not far away: "That's Odaiba there, right? The bridge connecting Shibaura and Odaiba is about to be built. I heard it is a beautiful, rainbow-like bridge.

There are a lot of Mitsubishi properties over the bridge and Odaiba, right?"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke thought about why he mentioned this and replied calmly: "Yes, Odaiba is where Tokyo Port is located, and it is necessary to build a bridge to optimize traffic. Mitsubishi does have some land in Odaiba, but since 20 years

Since the former redevelopment of the wharf area, those plots of land have remained undeveloped."

Tao Zhiming nodded, and then asked meaningfully: "The bridge has been confirmed to be built, and the value of these land parcels has been greatly increased, right? Iwasaki-san, has Mitsubishi asked the governor to start discussing whether to relax Odaiba's development restrictions?

?”

Iwasaki Ryunosuke's eyes became a little sharp: "Does Mr. Tao have any development ideas for Odaiba?"

"How can I come up with any development ideas for Odaiba on my own?" Tao Zhiming smiled modestly, "But Iwasaki-san also knows that I plan to engage in yacht-related industries, so in addition to Nanpu Bay, I am also working in Tokyo.

I’m looking for a suitable place to be a yacht dock in the bay.”

"Odaiba?" Ryunosuke Iwasaki thought thoughtfully, "Odaiba is not small. In addition to the major consortiums, there are also many scattered pieces of land in the hands of different people. Because it has been just a small town for more than 20 years.

Industrial and maritime use, limiting the development of other uses..."

Tao Zhiming pointed his finger there and said: "The old port area over Shibaura, with the continuous construction of artificial islands, will its status in shipping become lower and lower? The berth conditions in the new port area are better. On the north side of Odaiba,

The east side of Shinagawa and the south side of Shibaura will probably gradually become a small bay area for passenger transportation. So at least the northwest area of ​​Odaiba should be suitable for talking about relaxing development restrictions, right? After the bridge is opened to traffic, it will be very convenient to go there.

Maybe it can become a Ginza on the sea, with unparalleled night views."

"Indeed, I have heard other people say this, but the ownership of the land is scattered in the hands of different people..." He stopped here and looked at Tao Zhiming.

Yes, he already has a close relationship with the three major consortiums, plus Mitsubishi... the entire northern Odaiba area may be able to truly realize an overall development using him as a link.

In the current urban area of ​​Tokyo, Mitsubishi's Mori Building Group's Roppongi Hills is still facing a lot of land preparation work. After obtaining the principle permission from the Mijun Akasaka Media Center, the design of the specific construction plan has been carried out this year. After all,

It is a core area with many constraints.

Although the Shiodome Cargo Transfer Terminal was jointly taken over by Sumitomo Mitsui, the audit and liquidation of the assets did not happen overnight. And the first thing they promoted was the construction of the Shiodome Subway Station, with the purpose of raising land prices.

It seems that only Mogami Gokurakucho is currently under construction with great fanfare, and I heard that most of the funds from Kinoshita Hidefaze and Inagawa Kai have been invested in it.

After the announcement of emergency economic countermeasures, Tokyo is also seeking and planning ultra-large real estate development projects.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke suddenly remembered the news from Kansai and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Tao, I heard that Daiichi Quanye and others planned a Kansai Sea Pearl project in Osaka Bay. You..."

Tao Zhiming answered affirmatively: "Yes, Osaka Bay also needs a marina."

"No wonder you met me on a yacht today." Iwasaki Ryunosuke laughed, "Tao Jun, I understand your attitude. Just forget about the past. If you and Mitsubishi can cooperate again based on future interests,

, Chiyan-san has no position to do anything to you anymore. I just saw that Yang Shui has changed and grown a lot compared to before. Seeing his changes, Chiyan-san should feel relieved. This is why everyone

An opportunity to improve relationships.”

"That's okay." Tao Zhiming laughed, then asked him to sit back in the cabin, and asked Teresa to make arrangements to return to port.

Is there any big significance in cooperating with Mitsubishi just to subscribe for bonds and borrow money? Tao Zhiming wants to raise a big topic, so that he will have more time to contact, observe, think, and see if there are any problems behind it.

.

The yacht returned to the dock area of ​​​​Shinagawa. Tao Zhiming and Hoinae Yangsui sent Iwasaki Ryunosuke off the yacht, and then said: "Yangsui, Iwasaki-san said that he wants to know about our yacht and golf plans, so you can

Go back with Iwasaki-san and introduce him on the way. Director Teresa and I also want to talk about the yacht purchase."

Huona Jiang Yangshui nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It seemed that he had reached some agreement with the head of the Iwasaki family. Huona Jiangyang got into Iwasaki Ryunosuke's car, thinking about what to say and what not to say.

On the dock, Tao Zhiming returned to the yacht, and Teresa stood there calmly.

Tao Zhiming looked at the time and then asked with a smile: "Miss Teresa, I kept you waiting. Do you have preliminary design sketches for the two customized yachts? Can the technical problems be solved?"
To be continued...
