Yasushi Akimoto and people from Dentsu and Dongshi were responsible for the preparations for the Tokyo Fashion Festival. Tao Chiming did not have to do it himself.

In contrast, since the meeting with Shunji Suzuki and Taro Hashimoto, the plan for the Tokyo Odaiba Rinkai Vice City Center has really been pushed forward.

This time, the party was actually initiated by Ryunosuke Iwasaki, and Tao Zhiming couldn't help but wonder how close his relationship with Shunji Suzuki was.

Moreover, Iwasaki Ryunosuke told him that although there were many people tonight, they were all capable and qualified people to participate in the next big plan. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and some insiders had already contacted them privately before.

of.

The matter seemed so important that Tao Zhiming met with Kinoshita Hidefeng and Anzai Zenue first. The meeting place was actually at the side of the stage.

As a shareholder of Azimut, he called up the yacht for display. The three of them sat on the sofa on the yacht deck, watching the Odaiba area as the yacht slowly circled around.

"Why is the head of the Iwasaki family organizing this more in-depth discussion?" Tao Zhiming looked at Anzai Zenwei, "His relationship with Governor Suzuki is unusual?"

Anzai Zenwei stood up and walked to the guardrail of the deck, leaned on it and said: "Balance. Since Director Hashimoto has also met you, from his standpoint, of course he must make up for Mitsubishi. After all, he was in charge of Mitsubishi at the time.

Minister of Transport, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Mitsubishi suffered some losses during the national railway reform.”

Tao Zhiming suddenly realized: "No wonder Iwasaki Ryunosuke took the initiative to contact me at the beginning. He pushed me out first and made me a person of concern to Director Hashimoto and Governor Suzuki. As the initiators, we have so many interests involved.

Naturally unable

Withdrew easily. And he must have communicated with Governor Suzuki and Director Hashimoto a long time ago. At this time, he brought the benefits of coordinator to Mitsubishi. It seems that he has already established a firm foothold in Mitsubishi after the turmoil.

Take action for the future.”

"Furthermore, the other family heads of the consortium will not be attending the dojo tonight!" Anzai Zenwei said with certainty, "The presidents will not be there either. Iwasaki Ryunosuke will probably be the person with the highest invisible status at night."

"...What? Let's discuss it first. In the end, the consortium will have to synthesize the opinions of all parties and negotiate in private?" Tao Zhiming frowned, "As long as we can't reach an agreement on the spot, someone's interests will always be harmed.

"

"It's just the beginning of formal negotiations. How can we come up with a plan in one go?" Kinoshita Hidekaze was a little used to it. "Although Sumitomo-sama and the others won't be there, they should be at other restaurants not far away, or simply at

The other rooms in the restaurant know what we are discussing at any time, right?"

Tao Zhiming shook his head speechlessly and stood up to look at the undulating water in the bay.

Although the rationale is understandable, in the end it still creates a hierarchy for these people who, according to Iwasaki Ryunosuke, are not powerful but qualified.

The new rich can only be qualified to sit on an equal footing with the executives and general managers of the consortium and exchange opinions in advance.

Of course, there will also be real "major" shareholders of the consortium like Ryunosuke Iwasaki at the scene, and other consortium leaders who cannot be present naturally have unavoidable reasons for being busy.

This is also an invisible situational oppression.

This kind of distinction between upper and lower is always deliberately created. No wonder neon always has a strong culture of lower and upper.

Seeing that they were all standing by the guardrail, Kinoshita Hidefeng also went over and pointed at that piece of land: "Have you really expressed your stance to Governor Suzuki? Can you take all the land that Mr. Sumitomo mentioned that day?"

Anzai Zenwei's eyes were strange: "A yacht worth nearly 200 million yuan, as well as yacht brands acquired and invested, headquarters buildings and golf courses in Tokyo and Osaka, and there are also promises in Hokkaido. You can really come up with it."

So much money?”

"Find a way to schedule the turnover!" Tao Zhiming said with difficulty, "Anyway, the land is already in the hands of Sumitomo and Seibu Group, so give me a payment cycle and time difference. As long as the plan of Odaiba Rinkai Deputy City Center is announced, the other three

The construction plan for a professional sub-city center has also been announced. The real estate I have purchased will also appreciate in value, and I can borrow some more money."

"...Based on the size of your current loan, the daily interest will need to exceed 50 million yen, right?" Kinoshita Hidekaze was a little worried, "Don't force it."

"It's not bad. Wander Dance's business is very good every day, and it's getting better and better." Tao Zhiming smiled cheerfully, "Anyway, I still have the bonds from the consortium bank. If it doesn't work, I'll wait for the plan.

After the announcement, the consortium's expected future earnings are greatly optimistic, so I will earn less and transfer the bond in advance to relieve the pressure."

"...You should keep it, we trust you more." Anzai Zenwei shook his head, and then put his arm on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Director Hashimoto met with you specifically, which surprised Sumitomo-sama and others.

At least the land here in Odaiba belongs to Sumitomo, and we can deliver it in a very flexible way."

Tao Zhiming is not worried about the current debt repayment pressure at all, because the assets he actually owns are much higher than they estimated. When he subscribed for the bonds of First Quanye Bank in one lump sum, that period was the time when funds were most tight.

Subsequently, the bonds of Sumitomo and Mitsui were carefully timed to pass through, making them think that they had subscribed after lending money from Daiichi Kanye Bank.

Subsequently, the bonds of the consortium bank were used as pledges, and the credit loans applied for new projects were added. After purchasing the land used to build the headquarters building and golf course, there were also mortgage loans.

It is true that he has to bear a lot of interest every day, but the boss of Hanhe Industrial has such a small amount of money moving in the foreign exchange market. "It is common to make one or two hundred million a day, and it has also happened to make 500 million a day." Tao Zhiming is cheating.

Yes, can it be worse than him?

When this wave of Black Monday's market situation passes, Tao Zhiming should properly enter the ranks of the trillion-yen club.

In addition to the reason of his own strong assets, he is even more aware: Anzai Zenwei expressed this attitude to him, just like he previously attacked Iwasaki Kuranosuke during the national railway private reform, and now Tao Chiming is also known as a link in the Tokyo Deputy City Center Plan

.

The bonding effect this time is not limited to the immediate division of interests, but also involves Taro Hashimoto's future ambitions.

If successful, that's another opportunity to potentially extend the benefits for several years.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Tao Zhiming cannot fail now.

…

Akasaka in Tokyo is a gathering place for ryotei restaurants.

Various high-end or secret kiosks are where political and business leaders discuss important matters and divide their interests at night.

Today, the famous restaurant Golden Dragon, which has entered its 60th year, does not receive foreign visitors.

This is a well-known traditional restaurant that opened during the Akasaka Flower Festival, when geishas were most popular. Tao Zhiming, Kinoshita Hidefeng, and Anzai Zenwei got off the car and went in. They saw soft dark yellow lights in the wooden windows.

Illuminating the courtyard with a sense of time.

The very traditional shamisen played a minor tune, and the melodious voice of a geisha sang slowly.

To be honest, Tao Zhiming thought this style of music sounded quite miserable.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke stood in the courtyard. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and bowed.

Walking from the stone steps to the glazed wooden floor, there are many geishas performing in the neat room.

Tao Zhiming was in a daze and thought of Sumitomo's manor in Izu.

Today's era is different from many years ago. At that time, because lighting was not yet common, geishas had to put on such heavy makeup in the too dim light to look more beautiful in candlelight or oil lamps.

Nowadays, although some people still wear makeup as before, which has become her characteristic, most of them just apply a little makeup.

The only thing that is the same is that they all wear very gorgeous kimonos. The back collar of the kimono always looks a little looser and is deliberately tilted back, revealing a smooth and white back neck without any makeup.

This is very special, because the neon men in the past felt that the area from a woman's neck to her back was the most teasing and sexy area.

The kimonos that wrapped their bodies heavily left only this area exposed. When the geishas bowed at the table or bowed down while serving the meal, a scene that most touched the hearts of neon men teased them.

Tao Zhiming thought it was outrageous. Anyone who was obsessed with the crotch neck could only be said to be out of place.

"Tao Jun, there are a lot of people attending the party today, so someone needs to take care of them. Let's appreciate the talents of the girls for a while. If Tao Jun has a child that he likes, he will let her take care of Tao Jun later."

Tao Zhiming glanced at Iwasaki Kuranosuke, "Are you guest-starring as a young master?"

It's called appreciation, but actually it's just chatting.

Besides, there were already three guests in the room, each with a geisha serving tea. They smiled at Tao Zhiming, nodded and bowed behind them, but they just talked to each other in low voices at first.

Tao Zhiming recognized them as the three real estate tycoons placed on the list by Forbes this time.

After a while, Minoru Mori came, and so did Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Later, Tao Zhiming met another influential figure: Kitaro Watanabe.

This person is ranked 7th on the list of the world's richest people. However, his wealth has only emerged in the past two or three years, and his methods are too simple: the original car export business was not easy to do, but he happened to have a few pieces of land in Tokyo.

. So he took out loans, bought land, and continued to take out loans... His assets are mainly concentrated in land, which is easy to count. After calculation... Good guy, it exceeds 7 billion yuan, and he is the 7th richest person in the world.

Tao Zhiming watched the old man walk in triumphantly. After looking at everyone, he said, "Oh, is this a gathering of the neon people from Forbes' rich list today?"

These words attracted everyone's attention, and the geishas also listened. Although the rules of the Ryotei are that no matter what they see or hear, geishas will never say a word to outsiders, but it's okay to think about it in their hearts.

Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled and said: "Indeed. Everyone is related to real estate to some extent. Our Neon Tokyo has become the most valuable hot spot in the world. Today's gathering just proves this point."

Kitaro Watanabe looked at one of the three people across from him and asked with a smile: "Yoshimoto-san, it's impossible for your Yoshimoto family to have less money than me. Sure enough, there are still some assets that have not been included in the statistics, right? At least the Yoshimoto family does.

This should be my seventh position."

Over there is the eighth-ranked head of the Yoshimoto family, Haruhiko Yoshimoto. He smiled humbly when he heard this: "Watanabe-san's vision and courage are well known. The Yoshimoto family has not been going very well in the past year."

Kitaro Watanabe smiled at Tao Zhiming again and said, "Tao Jun, you are still the youngest, which is unbelievable. President Tsutsumi, are you unhappy because Tao Jun usurped the cover position?"

Tao Zhiming admired him very much, how charming this old guy was, and he was so excited when he came in.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi chuckled and said: "Tao Jun is so young and handsome, and having him appear on the cover as the youngest billionaire in the world is much better than my old face."

"Chairman Dantsutsumi is always the strongest in the world!"

"It's just a false name. Besides, how can I be considered the strongest?" Yoshiaki Tsutsumi shook his head indifferently, and then said meaningfully to Ryunosuke Iwasaki, "For example, Iwasaki-kun is much stronger than our Seibu.

.”

"Where are you talking about Tsutsumi?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke shook his head. "The current strength of the Iwasaki family is not even comparable to Tao Jun. How can it be compared with you. Tao Jun, don't mind. After all, we are all here.

The weakest existence!"

Tao Zhiming nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I need to ask more advice from my seniors."

This guy made others pay attention to him and got closer to him.
