The evening news showed footage of the presidential election at the Hibiya Concert Hall.

The newly elected president Takegami took a photo with Miyazawa Kiji and others holding hands, but apparently only his smile was genuine.

Next to the TV in the Ryotei, Tatsuo Nojima and Zenue Anzai looked at each other and said, "A new era has begun."

"Material enrichment, spiritual enrichment, and fun double..." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Takegami-sama wants to revitalize the local economy and expand domestic demand. The formulation of the archipelago hometown should be beneficial to everyone."

He is supported by large conglomerates. At a time when neon exports are affected by exchange rate appreciation, including insisting on tax reform will be beneficial to large conglomerates.

After all, the so-called consumption tax is to kill the poor and help the rich.

Nojima Tatsuo shook his head: "I just hope that Mr. Takegami can help mediate the tension between the United States and the United States as soon as possible due to the semiconductor industry and the Toshiba incident."

Anzhai Shanwei asked tentatively: "Isn't lobbying for the current sanctions plan fruitless?"

"In the past two or three months, the cabinet has been all concerned about the next prime minister. How effective can we only rely on the lobbying of Mitsui and the Semiconductor Association?" Nojima Tatsuo was helpless, "Let's not talk about these boring things.

It’s over. Tao Jun, you suddenly invited us to sit together, isn’t it because you suffered heavy losses in the previous stock market crash?”

"How could it be?" Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "I made a profit. So, let's give some big gifts to the newly appointed Lord Takegami. I have already prepared the plan for the deputy capital center, the trust charity fund, and the yacht home port.

It’s time to invest more.”

"Oh?" Nojima Tatsuo's eyes lit up, "How much did you earn?"

Tao Zhiming didn't know who were the leaders and fence-sitters within the consortium that Tao Yaren and the others had roped in. Anyway, they had decided to give those people a wrong influence: Tao Zhiming used it to invest with confidence and get closer to the consortium and Shunji Hashimoto Taro Suzuki.

The funds for these political connections came from loans from the Tao family.

Therefore, he said without shame: "Nearly 1 billion yuan!"

"So many?!" Nojima Tatsuo was shocked, "This is really..."

He looked at Tao Zhiming with a complicated expression. Many people jumped off the building. You have a share of the credit, right?

"This time I mainly made money from the United States and Hong Kong Island." Tao Zhiming joked, "I also took the opportunity to win a good piece of land in Hong Kong Island. Nojima-san, Toshiba's investment in semiconductors cannot be affected by this.

Losing the future. This time involves a relatively large investment. I plan to personally invest 100 million yuan, and then Sanyou Investment Bank will invest 50 million yuan to invest in a chip foundry in Hong Kong."

"OEM?" Nojima Tatsuo was stunned, "Only responsible for processing?"

"Yes. Now Neon's semiconductor industry is under pressure, but its research and development capabilities are still among the best in the world. Among many countermeasures, expanding overseas production and rationally laying out the industrial chain are also very important. This foundry, I hope to make up for it.

Neon Semiconductor's shortcomings in the CPU area mean that it does not go into the advantageous field of DRAM. Of course, you can also try the field of flash memory. I heard that Toshiba's research institute has now proposed a new concept of NAND."

Nojima Tatsuo looked at him strangely: "You care about and research so many fields..."

Tatsuo Nojima knows nothing about NAND. Hearing what Tao Zhiming said, he even felt a little confused.

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "In terms of technology and culture, as the president of Sanyou Bank, of course I have to do some work on your behalf. In short, I hope to do this and get the cooperation support of Toshiba and NEC in the research and development of semiconductor chips."

.”

In the current neon semiconductor industry, NEC, owned by Sumitomo, is the leader, and Toshiba, owned by Mitsui, is the second largest.

The main channel of competition between the United States and Neon is in DRAM. Intel only made a "painful decision" two years ago to bet on the future of personal computers and change its main business from being suppressed by Neon.

The DRAM is transferred to the CPU.

In the early days of the semiconductor industry, because personal computers had not yet appeared, DRAM was a product more suitable for the needs of that era. They only needed to work according to the set integrated circuits based on a specific application scenario, and did not need to bear more complex and flexible requirements.

, such as TV, radio, stereo...

But after the emergence of personal computers, computing needs have become more complex, and CPUs have more development prospects. However, most of the semiconductor manufacturers at this time are still fighting in the DRAM industry with wider application scenarios. Intel

This was also the former absolute overlord of the DRAM industry. After being killed by Neon manufacturers, it fell into the lap of IBM and decided to start over again and began to enter the CPU field with higher technical thresholds.

Tao Zhiming expressed this intention to Anzai Zenwei and Nojima Tatsuo, and Anzai Zenwei asked: "Your friend Sun Jun has a good cooperation with NEC in personal computers. Do you think the future of CPU is better than

Is DRAM still good?”

"No matter what the future of personal computers is, it is always good to make more bets. I am willing to take this risk." After Tao Zhiming finished speaking, he looked at Tatsuo Nojima and said, "I heard about the NAND project at Toshiba Semiconductor Research Institute.

R&D people are very marginal, and Toshiba is not willing to invest in this field. Regarding CPU R&D, NEC now has its own standards, as well as IBM's standards. You can also invest more. The money is mainly invested by me. What do you think?

?”

Nojima Tatsuo nodded: "I will go back and ask the board of directors to discuss this matter. Since you have made a lot of money now, Mitsui has encountered another difficult problem, and we can ask you for help."

Tao Zhiming's heart moved and he said, "Please speak."

As expected, Tatsuo Nojima mentioned what Yaren Tao said and said depressingly: "It was still caused by the Toshiba incident. The United States was dissatisfied with Mitsui's right to speak in Neon Economic News and believed that we manipulated the media.

It exerts too much influence on economic news and requires us to dilute our shares in Neon Economic News and make the board of directors of Neon Economic News more open."

He glanced at Anzai Zenwei, and then said: "Tao Jun, through Sanyu Bank and Mogami Mirai, you are already a member of Sumitomo's core club. We at Mitsui should also have closer contact. Sanyu

Investment banks have already invested in TV Tokyo before.

Now, through your BRAVOPEACH or Dimensional Culture, you hold part of the shares of Neon Economic News and TV Tokyo. Of course, you need to support our opinions on the boards of directors of TV Tokyo and Neon Economic News in some way.

.”

Tao Zhiming was speechless: "It's so overbearing...has it reached this level?"

"Takegami-sama is already planning a visit to the United States. When mediating relations between the two countries in the past, the handling of the Toshiba incident was a key point. For these requirements, at least they must be in compliance with the regulations in form. Although you have already contacted Mitsui through Mitomo Bank

We have a cooperative relationship, but I believe that with how much Hashimoto-san and Governor Suzuki value you, Mr. Takegami will try his best to convince the United States to recognize our optimal plan."

Under the package plan of the Tokyo Metropolis, Tao Zhiming has been regarded as a new member of the group by Sumitomo and Mitsui Foundation.

Tao Zhiming was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Nojima, you should know that since the Tao family came to me, they have also tried to put pressure on me. Will this matter be blocked by them?"

Nojima Tatsuo clearly showed disdain: "They are just doing some things in Neon on behalf of the people behind them. As long as Mr. Takegami and the commander of the United States have discussed a solution, how can they obstruct it?"

Tao Zhiming nodded slightly. It seemed that Tatsuo Nojima took the initiative to bring up this matter. It seemed that the faction he followed was not someone the Tao family had recruited within Mitsui.

That's right, Tatsuo Nojima is now the person in charge of Mitsui's faction. Mitsui is being targeted in various ways, of course because he is dissatisfied with his faction.

"How much money do I need to prepare?" Tao Zhiming asked simply.

The Tao family lent him 1.2 billion yuan. Except for the extra 200 million yuan to help him plan for Hong Kong Island, the remaining 1 billion yuan was mainly used to promote the Tokyo sub-city plan.

Some of this was used for him to cooperate with the Tao family in the encirclement and suppression of the Neon Economic News Agency.

"It will be arranged that approximately 3% to 5% of the shares of Neon Economic News will be held by you. As for the shares of TV Tokyo held by Mitsuyo Investment Bank, because Mitsui has a shareholding in Mitsui, so the shares of TV Tokyo held by Mitsuyo

, 5% to 7% will also be transferred to your side. Anzai-kun, we still need Sumitomo’s opinion on this."

"Don't worry, Nojima-kun, NEC is also in the Semiconductor Association. The chairman has already told me about this matter."

Nojima Tatsuo nodded, and then said to Tao Zhiming: "It will probably cost 24 to 30 billion yen, is that okay?"

Tao Zhiming nodded firmly: "It's less than 200 million yuan, no problem."

"Then, let's look forward to the good news that Mr. Takegami will bring back." Nojima Tatsuo rolled his neck tiredly, "Mr. Tao, you have made a lot of money, I will entertain you today, and relax, okay?"

"

"Of course." Tao Zhiming said with a grin, "Then let's go to WanderKTV later. I know you still prefer it to WanderDane."

Tatsuo Nojima became happy: "WanderDane is a place that young people prefer. We are older and can't dance anymore."

Tao Zhiming smiled knowingly.

It’s not because WanderKTV is run by your old lover, and it’s now called a mass-market KTV. But in this flashy era, so many new technologies are used, and the products sold are all good wines, so people can afford this kind of KTV.

, it is still mainly successful people.

In that special box, this KTV is run by his old lover Kotoko Irie, combined with the developed neon custom industry, and is no different from a club.

In an era when money blinds people, there are countless girls who hope to have more material enjoyment!

…

After Tao Zhiming returned to the club building from WanderKTV, he noticed that the studio in Sakai Izumi on WanderDane's floor was still lit, so he went over to take a look.

I saw Sakai Izumi wearing headphones, nodding rhythmically, while holding a pen and sketching something on the paper from time to time.

He just smiled and leaned against the door, watching her create.

After a while, Izumi Sakai noticed something, looked back and took off his headphones in surprise.

"Why didn't you go home directly?"

"...I got some inspiration during the performance, so I came here to rewrite the lyrics of this song..."

There were no other colleagues in the studio late at night. Sakai Izumi felt a little flustered when she saw Tao Zhiming slowly walking over.

"Let me take a look." Tao Zhiming stretched his head over to look at the lyrics she had revised.

Izumi Sakai sat on the chair and moved aside, smelling the smell of alcohol on his body.

So she held her breath.

"Try singing it?" After Tao Zhiming finished reading, he pulled the chair next to him and sat down.

"Now?"

"What do you think?"

Sakai Izumi sang to him alone just because she felt a little ashamed...

However, it was rare that he had time to participate in the preparation of this solo album, so Izumi Sakai immediately adjusted his state and started singing.
To be continued...
