"A reception at the Xia State Embassy?" Nobuhiko Horikawa was stunned when he received the call. "He went with...Tanaka-san?"

"Yes!" the person who tipped off Nobuhiko Horikawa whispered, "and now Mr. Tao is invited to go over and meet with Tanaka-san."

"……I see."

Nobuhiko Horikawa hung up the phone, paced back and forth in the room, and then said in a deep voice: "Prepare the plane and go to Tokyo!"

Now that we know that Genichi Kijima is still in Tokyo, we should go directly to him and see what he wants to do.

Has he been hiding with Tanaka Rong these days? How brave.

Now, Tao Zhiming is introduced to Tanaka Rong. What is the purpose of that?

Nobuhiko Horikawa hated this feeling of having his pace disrupted, but this kind of Kijima Genichi, who had been keeping a low profile for thirteen years, suddenly showed his ruthless side, reminded Nobuhiko Horikawa of his time when Shifu Kodama was still around.

Edge.

But the current Nobuhiko Horikawa is not the same as before.

Compared with back then, he is no longer just the deputy head of a branch and the chief secretary, but the president of the entire First Bank!

Nobuhiko Horikawa asked for information and rushed straight to Tokyo, and the formal reception was about to begin.

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

Watch.

But reporters are obviously paying attention to the extraordinary specifications of this year's reception. Although the 40th anniversary is a round number, Jun Kaifu, Taro Hashimoto, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of International Trade and Industry all came together, which naturally makes people think

More.

Seeing Wang Yi accompanying the ambassador and chatting cordially with each of the dignitaries, with smiles on their faces, Tao Zhiming couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

For the sake of development, these diplomats in foreign countries worked hard to do their jobs well no matter what thoughts they had in mind. At this time, Wang Yi, who seemed gentle and friendly, and who later served as the ambassador to Neon and was known as the "Neon Tong",

In the future, he will become a hardliner that the neon people can't understand. It's just one moment and another.

At this moment, Xia Guo does not want to be blocked, and Neon also wants to find a way to find a soft landing pad for the stock and real estate markets that are about to collapse.

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

"Tao Jun, I am a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun..." The person who asked the question was a middle-aged man with glasses holding a small book. There was a person holding a camera behind him. "As a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, this is your first time."

I was invited to attend a reception. Did the Ambassador talk to you about inviting you to invest in Xia Kingdom?"

Tao Zhiming looked at the camera over there and smiled calmly: "Everyone at the embassy is very conscientious and did talk about these things. In fact, the trading company I founded also has a lot of import and export transactions with Xia State.

I have suffered a lot of losses in the past few months. As an entrepreneur, I still hope to have smooth trade channels."

"There is indeed such a call." The reporter seemed to confirm him, and then his eyes became sly. "I would like to know, as Tao Jun, will you make large-scale investments in Xia State in the future?"

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

"Of course you are the most outstanding entrepreneur of the younger generation. This is why the embassy officials attach great importance to you." The reporter then added with a smile, "What's more, you are a descendant of the Xia Kingdom. This has always been the focus of the Xia Kingdom.

A group of people who want to attract investment.”

Tao Zhiming suddenly nodded, and then said without missing a beat: "I am an entrepreneur. Whenever I formulate or adjust a new business plan, I always consider the investment and return. Therefore, we have to wait until the future to see what happens in the future.

Speaking of which, Mr. Sakano, the Tokyo Yacht Home Port will be officially opened soon, so please come and report it."

"Will it be opened 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 begin. A formal invitation letter will be sent to your company later, and I hope to see Mr. Banno by then."

"...I'm sorry."

The reporter from the "Yomiuri Shimbun" moved his eyes slightly, and then left with a bit of arrogance in his eyes, preparing to obtain other reporting materials.

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

If you have to get together and want to make some big news, then you have to invite him to enjoy some kind of treatment.

Although Tao Zhiming saw these speeches, speeches, and performances at the meeting, he was thinking about the situation when Kijima Genichi asked him to go over and get to know Tanaka Ei.

There is no mention of Yuko Kitayuki. Given Tanaka Ei's status, it is not certain whether he knows the existence of Yuko Kitayuki.

His attitude towards Kijima Genichi is also quite strange. To say that he was threatened by the secrets held by Kijima Genichi would be too outrageous. Kijima Genichi was a broker who relied on Kodama Shifu to get everything he wanted.

, Tanaka Ei needs to look at him seriously?

At this level, fighting is never about real "evidence". The reason why Tanaka Sakae is still safe and sound until now is precisely because although his "Tanaka School" is no longer there, he still has so many disciples and old officials, and his influence is still there.

.

Therefore, Tanaka Sakae respected Kijima Genichi's attitude very much, and Hashimoto Taro even came over to chat for a few words. What was the situation?

Tanaka Rong 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 this.

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

…

It takes five or six hours to drive from Osaka to Tokyo.

It took such a long time before Horikawa Nobuhiko got the news and set off, which would really have to be midnight.

But as long as the president of the First Bank wants to rush as quickly as possible, he can naturally arrive by plane as soon as possible.

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

Checking the time, he saw that the official reception process would only last about two hours. When he set off, it was still at the stage where the previous guests had arrived.

The subordinate went to ask the hotel service staff and found that they had not left yet, so he continued to wait.

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

When he saw people starting to come out, Nobuhiko Horikawa called Tao Zhiming again.

There were many people attending this reception who knew him, Nobuhiko Horikawa. Did he have to wait directly at the door and greet so many people?

Tao Zhiming did not take his mobile phone with him, but temporarily gave it to Ogata Toshio.

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

After Tao Zhiming listened to what he said, he put on a playful smile, picked up the mobile phone and walked to a quiet place outside: "Horikawa-san, we arrived in Tokyo so soon."

"Of course." Horikawa Nobuhiko ignored the ridicule in his words and said calmly, "Please tell Mr. Tao to tell Kijima-san that the matter will eventually be solved."

"This seems to be Kijima-san's intention. Tanaka-san has made an appointment with me and is going to my restaurant after the reception. Horikawa-san, if it's not convenient for you to show up now, just go there first. We're about to leave

Now, let Toshio go over and lead the way."

"...Okay, no more trouble."

After handing the mobile phone to Ogata Toshio, Tao Zhiming asked Ogata Toshio to lead the way.

After returning to the reception site, 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 Ei and Kijima Genichi and said, "Sir Tanaka, Kijima-san, when is the best time for us to set off?"

Tanaka Rong seemed to have expected it. Although his body was not as good as before after a cerebral infarction, his eyes still flashed and he said meaningfully: "In that case, let's set off now."

Seeing Tanaka Rong and Tao Zhiming getting together again, saying goodbye to the others and then leaving together, many people who had known Tao Zhiming before were shocked.

Didn't we just meet and get to know each other on this occasion? Why do these two people have a personal relationship? Who is the other old man?

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

Tao Zhiming thought about this problem for a while, and then after thinking about it for a while, he dealt with it calmly.

It was indeed the first time that he and Tanaka Ei met. Besides, this case is being handled by the Tokyo District Prosecutors' Office. Unless Tao Yaren and others don't want to push the plan forward, otherwise no one in the current Sanyou Investment Bank framework can

replace one's own role.

On the way, Tanaka Rong didn't look like he was at the previous reception. He relaxed and said: "Tao Jun, I have heard your name a lot in the past two years. When we met today, your demeanor was definitely not that young for your age.

What a human being can possess.”

Tao Zhiming was very modest: "Master Tanaka is a legend. You are a person who has been confirmed to have a lasting legacy in history. It is a rare opportunity to ask you for advice."

"Will Qingshi have a lasting legacy?" Tanaka Rong smiled heartily, and then said leisurely, "The merits and demerits are nothing more than for others to comment. My life is almost over, and these are no longer important to me."

"It's already the Heisei era, but I believe that in ten, twenty, or thirty years, when people think back to the Showa era, you will be one of the first three people who come to mind in the neon nation!"

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

"...I don't dare to take Mr. Tao's comments seriously." The Showa era lasted for 61 years. How many major events happened during this process? Tanaka Rong felt that Tao Chiming was deliberately flattering.

However, as the person who pushed forward the establishment of diplomatic relations between Xia Kingdom and Neon, Tanaka Rong was well-known to the people of Xia Kingdom for this matter, and interested people would naturally notice his other actions.

Tao Zhiming then said: "Isn't Tanaka-sama's "On the Transformation of Neon Islands" the work that pointed out the direction for Neon, which had just become the world's second largest economy at that time, in the next twenty or thirty years? Can it be published with a single book that year?

This political book ranks fourth on the best-seller list, and this is not just because of your fame. There is a passage in it that I talked with Mr. Sun from SoftBank, and I was very impressed that you were able to make such a conclusion at that time."

"Oh? Which paragraph?" Tanaka Rong was curious. Could it be that he had prepared so much to praise himself? But since he had a cerebral infarction four years ago, his influence has long been gone. Tanaka Rong

He has his own information channels and knows that the energy this young man possesses is extraordinary, so he shouldn't need to flatter himself so deliberately.

Tao Zhiming replied: "The era of communication network relies on the main role of electronic computers to process information. Computers are communication loops that connect workshops and homes, just like railway Shinkansen trains running on the rails, transporting us

Same. We also need to use electronic computers through communication loops, so that the electronic computers can immediately report the data they calculate to us through the loops. This is news data communication."
