It took Li Jiacheng a long time to verify many of the contents relayed by Li Ju.

Tao Zhiming and Shigemitsu Takeo are cooperating to help Zhou Guo Tianle enter the high-tech field. If Zhou Guo Tenle can go further, the second son Shigemitsu Akio, who is placed there to manage the industry, will naturally gain greater power.

But at the same time, Takeo Shigemitsu, also known as Hiroshi Sing, further strengthened the voice of Neon Tianle's eldest son Hiroyuki Shigemitsu within the group.

Shigemitsu Takeo was determined to keep the family in order and let the eldest son take over the family business. Although Shigemitsu Akio was also involved in the implementation of Zhou Guo Tianle's entry into the high-tech industry, he held the real power there.

The reason is naturally that he wants to re-establish the name of his Xin family. The people surrounding Shigemitsu Hongzhi on Neon Tianle's side are all Xin family members who came from Zhou Kingdom and are in power.

"Wouldn't it be better to split up and decentralize operations?" Li Jiacheng didn't understand Takeo Shigemitsu's approach. This was an artificial contradiction.

"It's not that simple." Ryunosuke Iwasaki smiled and made tea for him, "If we split, Hiroyuki Shigemitsu will not be able to guard Neon Tenraku in the future, and Tenaku Shigemitsu will also get closer to Shigemitsu's family.

In the hands. If they are reversed, then the Chongguang family will oppose changing the fact that Nihong Tianle controls Zhouguo Tianle."

Li Jiacheng sighed. As a son-in-law and adopted son, after relying on his wife's family to rise in a cultural environment like Neon, such sequelae are inevitable.

"If new industries are really created, they may be truly split. If those new industries are included in Neon Tianle and Zhouguo Tianle are separated separately, and then handed over to their two sons, maybe the Shigemitsu family will be satisfied.

." Ryunosuke Iwasaki sighed, "President Tao took advantage of Shigemitsu-san's eagerness. Shigemitsu-san probably knew it too, so he just used his own methods."

Li Jiacheng still hasn't figured it out yet.

Those new industries are unlikely to make major progress within one or two years anyway. If Tao Zhiming and his team plan to start next year, how can they catch up and take advantage of this?

"Mr. Li, you are willing to join forces with Mitsubishi and hold part of the shares of the reorganized Sanwa. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for this." Ryunosuke Iwasaki bowed, "If you have any ideas or requests, please feel free to ask.

Feel free to bring it up."

Li Jiacheng put his thoughts back.

Holding part of the shares of the reorganized Sanhe Consortium is his new long-term investment.

The shares of Neon's top conglomerates must be high-quality assets in the long run. Since Mitsubishi has clearly defined its goals, after integrating some of Sanhe's high-quality assets, it will naturally digest them and turn losses into profits.

But that is a long-term thing after all, and Li Jiacheng still needs to gain short-term benefits through this move.

So he said: "Once the reorganization is completed, I hope to pledge that part of the shares to Mitsubishi. I don't know what kind of quota and interest conditions Iwasaki-san can give me."

Cash is king, even if you carry a little interest, it is worth it.

He is sure that Mitsubishi will be willing. In any case, this is also an opportunity to increase Mitsubishi's say in Sanhe China after the reorganization.

Li Jiacheng This is another time for sale.

Since it can be pledged to Mitsubishi, it can also be pledged to Mitsui, Sumitomo or even Mitsuyo.

In the end, if the situation changes and the money is no longer repaid, just give up the shares and it can still be used as a bargaining chip at that time.

The key point is to get the money spent first and get it back through pledge. While earning a strong cooperative relationship, you can also earn a bargaining chip for the future.

"...Pledge?" Ryunosuke Iwasaki was a little embarrassed and sighed, "To be honest, Mitsubishi's current reserves of funds are not very sufficient."

"After the reorganization, can we use a new name and plan to issue new bank bonds?" Li Jiacheng said with a smile, "I believe in Mitsubishi's strength."

"I understand Mr. Li's request. Please give me some time. This needs to be discussed with other directors."

"certainly."

After meeting Ryunosuke Iwasaki, Li Jiacheng went to meet Shigemitsu Hatsuko without stopping.

Anyway, the conversation with Tao Zhiming was so frank. It is natural for the Li family to provide more insurance for themselves.

Now that the Sanyou Consortium has become a giant, the original cooperation may have been relatively equal, but now the Li family pales in comparison. How normal is it to worry about being swallowed up?

Tao Zhiming didn't care that Li Jiacheng was hanging around in Neon.

The main force of the feint attack specifically targeting Li Jiacheng was Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

So when Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was invited to Xiang Island and then returned to Neon, Li Jiacheng found Yoshiaki Tsutsumi again.

Today's Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, because Osaki Shinjo was completely involved after Li Jiacheng's complete intervention, finally made some money back with the subsequent big sales.

Li Jiacheng believed that he was "kind" to him and knew that he had been cheated by Tao Zhiming, so he was very frank when they met: "President Di, I was not able to receive him there when I went to Xiangdao. I was inspecting it with President Tao." What project? The situation on Hong Kong Island is unclear, President Tsutsumi might as well discuss it with me to avoid some traps."

At present, the Seibu Group is independent, and Li Jiacheng also believes that this man who once sat on the throne of the world's richest man is still arrogant after all.

No one is stupid. Since Li Jiacheng is here, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki should understand his purpose.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi looked at him deeply, and then said: "He invited me to see the yacht home port that was already under development. Mr. Li knew that I had rich experience in investing in the cultural tourism industry, and he asked me if I would like to participate together. .”

"What about President Di's thoughts?" Li Jiacheng looked into his eyes.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi shook his head directly: "I finally recovered from the Osaki New Town project. I don't want to expand now."

Li Jiacheng was relieved a lot, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was still awake.

Since he doesn't want to get involved in things over there, he is wary of Tao Zhiming.

In this case, you can try to win over.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng said: "It is right not to increase investment now. But it is still okay to win some project contracts. My real estate development project for the second phase of Lamma Island can be handed over to Chairman Di."

"...What do you want?"

Li Jiacheng said calmly: "I used the Kansai project that Neon is currently developing as a mortgage. Chairman Tsutsumi will fully promote the development there, allowing me to pre-sell back part of the money. The advance part, if I can't do it this time next year After settling the payment with Chairman Tsutsumi, the Kansai project will be sold to Chairman Tsutsumi.”

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki shook his head: "In that case, it's okay not to do this."

Li Jiacheng thought for a while and then slowly said: "What if I mortgage part of Sanhe's shares to Chairman Di?"

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's eyes narrowed and he stared at him: "Can you get Sanhe's shares?"

Li Jiacheng nodded solemnly.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi thought for a long time before looking up at him: "Okay! Let's talk about the specific proportion and how much I have to advance to enter!"

Li Jiacheng was overjoyed.

This was an offer he couldn't refuse. Being able to get involved in the decision-making of Neon's top consortium had an indescribable attraction for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

He was trapped before, wasn't it because he didn't have the right to speak in a big bank, and in the end there was a crisis in the capital chain?

As for how Li Jiacheng had so many shares, which were pledged to both Mitsubishi and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, this naturally involved transactions with the Shigemitsu family.

A good dancer with long sleeves, he knows that at times like this, steel should be used on the blade.

As a result, as soon as he left, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi sold him and raised his own question: "Can he get as many shares as Sanwa?"

Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment when he heard the number Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said, and then said, "Let me ask first."

After saying that, he looked at Iwasaki Yokohisa across from him: "Are you sure the number your dad said is correct?"

Iwasaki Yokohisa nodded.

"It's interesting." Tao Zhiming pondered playfully.

Looking at the way Iwasaki Yokohisa was pondering, his calm expression was not very calm.

Because Iwasaki House has a property in Tiankokumon, it is very convenient for Iwasaki Yokohisa to come here.

In Zhenying Juli, Lu Ye Maki sent tea.

Iwasaki Yokohisa looked at the back of her leaving, glanced at a corner of the Tinghai Garden, and saw the figures of SANA Ueda and "Sachiko Ueda" passing by holding hands and laughing.

This damn bastard.

Tao Zhiming suddenly understood: "It seems that the crux lies with Chongguang's family. It's been a long time, I know. You go back and tell your dad."

Iwasaki Yokohisa didn't want to stay any longer. He walked to the door and turned around and asked, "Why do you have to call Mr. Iwasaki 'my dad'?"

Tao Zhiming was stunned, then laughed: "I understand! I'm very sorry, Mr. Hengjiu, for hurting your self-esteem."

"...You guy!" Yokohisa Iwasaki gritted his teeth.

"Speaking of which, you shouldn't be like this! Wouldn't it be good to become the president of Mitsubishi in the future? Don't worry about our little grudges in the past."

"That Kobayashi-senpai!" Yokohisa Iwasaki said bitterly, "Sendo University's propaganda is everywhere. We can't continue to let Xina down. Enough is enough, you bastard!"

He said it very domineeringly, but the person had already hurried away.

Tao Zhiming couldn't laugh or cry, remembering that he often saw himself and Lin Qiyu doing research together in the Sword of Finance Laboratory for Yamamoto Akito's thesis.

They did it over and over again, and ten years later they were still together.

Sina Ueda has such doubts, and it is normal for him to have doubts.

But I didn’t expect that this guy still cares so much about Uedashana?

Tao Zhiming's expression was serious. Should the tauren be chopped off first?

Then he smiled freely again.

That guy probably just used this method to deliberately strengthen the relationship back then, so that he could have a different kind of friendship with the Sanyou Foundation in the future.

Ryunosuke Iwasaki has no intention of taking over as president, so he can lick him without any bottom line.

Since Yokohisa Iwasaki has hope, he still has to maintain some respect for equality.

Even though he had sex with his woman back then.

Life.

Tao Zhiming happily went to find Xana Ueda and Sachiko Ueda.

…

On the vast ocean, a rusty ship was towed by several tugboats, heading east.

This voyage was much smoother than Tao Zhiming remembered.

After all, the role assigned to this ship by the current operator is completely different from that of another time and space.

On the surface, Tao Zhiming has already stood with the Democratic Liberal Party, which has always had a tough stance on Neon.

Over on Hong Kong Island, there is still a quarrel over the gambling license on Lamma Island.

The ships will arrive in a few months, and whether or not the gaming license is opened there is a different matter for the future of Lamma Island.

But this problem is not just an economic one, but has a deeper meaning.

"If Ma Hong Kong can maintain its current situation in the future, then why can't Lamma Island?" A member of parliament said plausibly, "The tax from Ma Hong Kong cannot be paid to Hong Kong Island. There is a new racecourse and a yacht home port on Lamma Island.

With the theme hotel renovated from the Gwa No., Li Shengdu began to fully promote the second phase of the construction. How many jobs can be created every year by opening this license? How much tax revenue will it bring? Do we need to calculate this account carefully? "

Everyone knows that these arguments are meaningless, but as a formality, they have to keep arguing.

This debate has been going on for more than a year.

But the final battle is never here.

Time came to December at the end of the year, and no one expected that Dong Hua, who had not been very popular before, was successfully elected.

"It's not good. It seems that Yanjing's attitude is very determined. I really can't tell what it will be like next year."

In the club at the racecourse, some people gathered together to discuss.

"I don't think so." Li Zhaoji said nonchalantly, "Friends in New York told me that the current negotiations on the WTO have also reached a critical period. If the mainland wants to join, it will always have to make some concessions."

"Do you want to join before then? What do both sides think?"

"Of course it's about the positioning of Xiangdao!" Li Zhaoji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let's wait for the news. If the license plate can be issued, Xiangdao will soar next year! If it cannot be issued, then Xiangdao will have to prepare for the winter!"

"How do you say this?"

"After it is sent out, Hong Kong Island will not only remain the same as before, but will also be more open, and its status as a trading port and financial port will be more established. The entire mainland's goods and money will go through Hong Kong Island! In this way, of course, the mainland can be opened more quickly

The better it is to join the WTO." Li Zhaoji said succinctly.

, "If it is released, it means that Yanjing has always planned to slowly change and digest Xiangdao. How long the transition period can last is uncertain. In this case, joining the WTO will definitely be ruined, and Xiangdao's good expectations

Decrease, bad expectations increase, do you want to spend the winter?"

"...that makes sense."

Many people frowned, and then said irritably: "Hey, isn't it just a gaming license? Does it make any difference to Hong Kong people whether they go to Ma Hong Kong to gamble or Lamma Island? To the mainlanders who come here?

Is there any difference between nouveau riche and foreigners?”

"Attitude, dignity, will. A person lives with a face, and a tree lives with a skin." Li Zhaoji chuckled, "I have to say, this license plate and a boat are really awesome. Let's see what happens over there in Yanjing.

Let's choose. Dong Sheng has been chosen, and Yanjing has been tough. Let's see if it will continue to be tough."

Around this incident, one of the important influential forces outside the officialdom once again gathered in Zhenying Center.

This time, Stevenson and his consortium, including members of several other large consortiums from OMI, also came.

Neon, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi are all there.

Zhenyingju was full of "distinguished guests".

Tao Zhiming was unhappy: "What does this mean? Who doesn't know that this is my biggest bargaining chip?"

In a room, there are all people who can cause huge vibrations by simply raising their feet and stamping their feet.

But Tao Zhiming could already choke so unhappily.

Stevenson, who knew him best, said immediately: "Mr. Tao was able to lend us 5 billion yuan before, and we already have mutual trust. In comparison, the whereabouts of the ship has nothing to do with it.

It’s urgent.”

Anzhai Shanwei and the others had different expressions. Sure enough, Tao Zhiming said again: "Do you think I can't understand this point? I paid a high price for this ship, just to be able to hold a card all the time!

Now I’m very confused!”

Tao Zhiming looked at Stevenson and the others: "Aren't you worried that after they get this boat, they will transform it into a real big thing in the future?"

Stevenson sneered, and then said nonchalantly: "Do you think no one in Congress thinks so? There are many people who oppose this request, even more than half. However, the ship has been dismantled into

They are completely empty shells, and no drawings still exist. With their strength, it is impossible to complete this task."

"What if?" Tao Zhiming asked, "If they can put forward this condition, doesn't it show their attitude and determination?"

"They want this, but it can be used as a bargaining chip to make concessions in finance and the market." Stevenson still didn't care, "Our think tank has systematically studied and judged. When their technology is blocked,

The probability of being able to completely repair it is so low that it can be ignored. Even if it happens as you mentioned, it will be at least twenty years later. Twenty years is enough time for us to complete all our plans."

Tao Zhiming had a dark face, but his heart was filled with joy.

You are truly mercenary as expected.

Tao Zhiming believes that there is definitely no shortage of truly far-sighted people there who will strongly oppose this matter.

But now, there are actually too many baits placed in front of these consortium forces.

Expectations for the thorough opening up of markets and finance, expectations for stabilizing or even further elevating Hong Kong's status as a free port and financial port, and using it as a base to penetrate into the mainland, and even for creating a new "powerful enemy" in the Asia-Pacific region.

The idea of ​​striving for more budget orders prompted them to ignore the possibility.

Really just in case.

If that big fishing boat hadn't really gone into the sea to fish in the future, no one would have thought that this ancient eastern country would really be able to accomplish this thing under such a technological blockade.

So at this moment, they feel that this exchange is possible, and they are willing to pay the price for intensive lobbying for the expected benefits.

As for why you came to ask Tao Zhiming now?

He bought the boat!

And... Tao Zhiming continued with a dark face: "First, I have invested so much money in Lamma Island, and transforming the Gwa into a theme hotel is a big selling point for me, and it will determine how big the future profits will be.

!”

Others didn't take this to heart, it was just about money.

So Stevenson said: "If we open a gaming license to you, even if it is only a limited type of gaming, wouldn't the long-term benefits be greater than the selling point of a theme hotel? If you insist on this, it's not like you can't sell another one in the future.

I’ll give you the completely retired one, or the tablet one, which is more advanced.”

Tao Zhiming seemed to be choked.

What's the use of completely decommissioning it? That means it's really no longer useful and will be scrapped. Do you think I bought it to build a hotel?

"...Second, with this ship, I can play a role through it for a long time, allowing me to play an irreplaceable role in Neon." Tao Zhiming continued, "Needless to say, I have the foundation of Neon.

, compared with other consortiums, it is the shallowest. Although it is impossible to really bring it to Tokyo Bay, as long as this possibility is preserved, the Democratic Liberal Party will always have a card that can be played."

Stevenson sighed: "Mr. Tao, don't be so presumptuous, right? You are still so young, who in Neon would underestimate your importance?"

Tao Zhiming looked at Anzhai Shanwei and the others and saw that they were just watching a show.

So he said coldly: "Thirdly, if I choose to sell, then I will become the person who helped Xia Guo obtain the Gwa. This is removing my foundation! Ordinary citizens will not calculate so many benefits.

They will only think that I am someone who helps the enemy! Hashimoto-san, where is the foundation of the Democratic Liberal Party, don’t you know it?”

Stevenson also looked at him meaningfully: "Mr. Tao, the walking god of finance, the god of mercy who behaved sincerely after the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Your reputation is already too good. The founder of the Sanyou Foundation,

You are too young to be responsible for media, technology, culture, and education. You are so sharp that Neon’s other friends are often worried about whether there is an outstanding and qualified successor."

"Are you kidding me?" Tao Zhiming said bluntly, "Are you kidding me?"

Tao Yaren admired him very much. He was really young and energetic, but now he also really has strength.

But the third point Tao Zhiming said is actually very critical.

Indeed, ordinary citizens do not calculate any profits at all. Be it gambling, trade or financial transactions in Hong Kong, what does it have to do with ordinary citizens in Neon?

The basic base of Taro Hashimoto and his successors, those ordinary citizens who overthrew Nozomi Hosokawa and Tomi Murayama because they said something that they should not have said, will only focus on one fact: Taro Taro pulled Hashimoto

The Neon International Cooperation Bank headed by Taro bought the big ship in the name of Hong Kong Yacht Homeport Investment Company, but sold it directly to Xia Guo before it was completely shipped.

A country that leaves many people with an unbreakable knot in their hearts.

So what will happen to Tao Zhiming's reputation? What will be the ending of Hashimoto Taro?

In order to dilute this influence, Tao Zhiming may have to continue to invest more in Neon, hire more people, and do more charity, so as to attract more hearts and minds.

In this way, Tao Zhiming will have much less available funds for next year's big plan, preventing them from expanding to an incredible level again.

To be honest, Neon's other three consortiums will feel more at ease.

Tao Zhiming looked at them one by one, and after a while he seemed to laugh out of anger: "So that's what a good plan is. It seems like you are all inclined to do this?"

Stevenson seemed to be trying to smooth things over: "Mr. Tao, there are still many opportunities for us to make a fortune together in the future. Don't we need to be obsessed with the present?"

"In front of me?" Tao Zhiming narrowed his eyes, "If I need to spend billions of dollars to maintain the situation and maintain the newly stabilized support rate of the Hashimoto cabinet, will I still make money next year?"

"Then what conditions does Mr. Tao want to put forward?"

"I will sell it for one billion yuan!" Tao Zhiming said directly, "One billion yuan is an empty shell! In this case, they will continue to scold me to pieces, and it will also make Yanjing that

Japan must suppress internal dissent. Let the Neon Bank for International Cooperation receive adequate returns, and Hashimoto-san can give an explanation so that everyone can focus on the new opportunities brought by the WTO."

"This is impossible!" Stevenson was convinced, "You only bought it for 35 million yuan."

"It cost more than 15 million yuan to drag it all the way here." Tao Zhiming said with a straight face, "This is my condition! It is also my last concession! How to do it? Since you all want me to take action, it is you.

It’s about that. I’ve invested so much into next year’s plan, there’s no way I won’t prepare more funds to make some money back!”

Stevenson and others looked at each other in shock. The price difference was not just a little bit, it was at least about 800 million yuan.

Everyone knows that the so-called theme hotel there is just an excuse. Firstly, they don't want to hide this mine in Xiangdao, and secondly, I am afraid that there is really a possibility of such an eventuality.

So no matter how high the asking price is, talking about 150 million to 200 million for an empty shell is probably the limit.

After Stevenson and the others took a look, they turned their attention to Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo.

How about it? You don't want him to be ridiculously strong in the future, so you have to pay something, right? Considering the trouble he may get into because of this, this little money is worth it.

The atmosphere in Zhenying was tense, but a few days later, when Tao Zhiming arrived at Xiangdao and told Zhao Yuanxi about the arrangement, Zhao Yuanxi was completely petrified.

"It's... so simple?" He really couldn't believe it.

He thought about it for several years! He still couldn't figure out how Tao Zhiming would send this ship away in the future.

He never expected that it was this group of people who begged him and tried to raise money to get him to sell it in a somewhat funny way.

The most ridiculous thing in the world.

1 billion yuan, and by the way, you also cheated the Li family?

Tao Zhiming looked happily at the place originally reserved for the Gwa and the dock facilities that had been repaired, and sighed: "It's troublesome. It seems that we can only build the largest super yacht and put it here. 10

Half of the 100 million yuan should be enough, right?"

"...No, is it really that simple?" Zhao Yuanxi was still in a state of shock, "Is there some kind of fraud?"

Tao Zhiming glanced at him lightly: "You have to understand the psychology of those people. When you feel that you are stronger, how can the beggars on the roadside believe that they can learn the Tathagata Palm in the future? Anyone would think so with a book.

Impossible secrets

, you can get so many benefits in one fell swoop, why wouldn’t you want to? Do you think I scattered 100 billion yen in Neon early last year just to help Hashimoto Taro rise to power? That’s close to 1 billion yen! Today I just took it

Just come back!"

Zhao Yuanxi felt that her outlook on life had been impacted: "...Brother, I have truly convinced you today! Xingye, come here and call me dad!"

"Don't worry about my eldest son!" Tao Zhiming put a palm on the back of his head and said energetically, "Let's go find Lao Li and Xiao Li and help them clear out the 50 billion yen debt that No. 1 Quanye took over.

Thank you, thank me, right?"

"...I'm numb." Zhao Yuanxi imitated his old witticisms, "They really won't be wary of you now."
Chapter completed!
