"Joint agreement?" Kitahara Sosuke chuckled, took the documents and started to read them. When he saw the back, his expression gradually changed, "President Yuechi, these signers are all well-known in Kyoto.
A famous figure in Buddhist circles?"
"Yes. It's basically covered. When Director Jincheng talked about tourism with me, I actually didn't agree with it. Kyoto is known as the birthplace of traditional culture, and temples and shrines are our core spiritual home.
To open them completely to the public, and in the way you said, I don't agree with it."
President Yuechi nodded,
"First, all areas of temples and shrines will be opened up, which will leave monks with no privacy; second, according to your proposal, tourism will be closely integrated with business, increasing those so-called commercial activities, which
It is an act of blasphemy against the gods and Buddhas of the gods and is not advisable; thirdly, thoroughly integrate the culture of shrines and temples into other products and define them as tools for making money. If you do this..."
"Then don't agree to come with me." Kitahara Sosuke suddenly interrupted him.
He glanced at President Yuechi who was talking eloquently, and his expression suddenly became a little impatient.
"You feel that I have blasphemed the religious beliefs that you firmly hold in your heart. It is very wrong to use it to obtain benefits. Then just stop me and oppose me as before. Why pretend to be upright and stand on moral grounds?
Criticize me from the high ground?"
"If you are not willing to cooperate sincerely, why do you want to give me such a funny negotiation document? I am just a businessman. I don't understand Buddhism, the piety of faith, and the spread of culture. My eyes
There are only yen, only benefits, and only things within easy reach."
Kitahara Sosuke slammed the negotiation paper in his hand onto the table.
"Did I read it correctly? The meaning of this negotiation is that the profits I, Kitahara Sosuke, share with you are not enough, so you want to increase your profits. As long as I meet your expectations, I can do it with your help.
Smoothly develop the tourism industry.”
Kitahara Sosuke sneered and looked at the serious-looking Chairman Tsukichi.
To be honest, from what Jincheng Xunichi said, he still had a good impression of the president of the Buddhist Association.
Although Chairman Wolji has always been in the camp against him and accused Beiyuan Investment of inappropriate behavior, everyone has different positions and their interests are irrelevant, so it is understandable for him to do so.
Especially after Kitahara Sosuke successfully helped Hosokawa Morihi to defeat Miyazawa Kiichi and defeated the Chino family and other enemies, Chairman Tsukiike was still able to stick to his beliefs. This was something that Kitahara Sosuke admired very much.
But now...
"At the end of last year, I was at Nanzen Temple and saw the host Jincheng ringing the bell. To be honest, although I am an atheist and cannot understand the thoughts of a person with faith like him, I still admire him very much. I
I was very touched when I watched him ringing the bell and talking to me about the economy, the lives of the believers below, and the future of Japan. He was just an ordinary monk, the abbot of a temple.
He told me that he had lived in great fear for so many years."
"Because he felt that he was responsible for ringing the New Year's bell, which should have brought a peaceful, happy and perfect year to the devoutly praying believers below, but he has never been able to do it. And now, the economic collapse is imminent, and he feels sad that he cannot save it.
, I hope I can let go and let them live."
Kitahara Sosuke looked at President Yuechi and chuckled lightly,
"I refused. Then this year, Nanzen Temple's 108 bells only rang 80 times, but in my heart, I admire Master Jincheng very much. He is a true master and deserves people's respect. And he respects you so much,
I am willing to meet you and discuss business with you, but..."
"Compared to him, what the hell are you so-called celebrities?!"
"Kitahara Sosuke!" President Yuechi finally couldn't hold it any longer and stood up suddenly, pointing tremblingly at his face, "Do you know what you are talking about? The person who signed this negotiation letter is Kyoto
All the famous figures in the Buddhist world have offended us, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"The Chino family has been in Kyoto for hundreds of years. Even so, they don't dare to really challenge us. We have a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship. The only one who can control us is His Majesty the Emperor. We even have the right to reject the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
decree!"
Chairman Yuechi pointed at him and said loudly: "Kitahara Sosuke, please think clearly. If you refuse our request today, you will not want to continue doing any tourism-related business in Kyoto in the future! This is your last chance.
, Kitahara Sosuke. You also said that you admire Kinjo Genichi very much. If he hadn't persuaded me, I wouldn't have come to see you today."
"The last chance?" Kithara Sosuke looked at him and sneered a few times, "Give me the last chance? Don't be ridiculous. I will not agree to this nonsense negotiation document. If I agree to this, I will really do it."
I am so ashamed of the trust that Master Jincheng has placed in me! Please come back, President Yuechi."
"Okay, this is what you said, Kitahara Sosuke!" President Yuechi picked up the discussion paper on the table and left his office angrily.
Kithara Sosuke watched him leave, the sarcastic smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He originally had a glimmer of hope in the temple abbots and so-called Buddhist masters in Kyoto, but now he is completely in despair.
Sure enough, no industry has developed so far, and there is no one that is not linked to interests. Once linked, nothing is pure.
The Buddhist community does not listen to the political community. That is indeed the current environment, but that only requires the emperor to have sufficient power, which is obviously not the case now.
Who is the most powerful person now?
Emperor?
Prime Minister's Cabinet?
Are these local snakes from wealthy families?
No, neither.
The most powerful people who hold real power are bankers, the tycoons who have formed consortiums!
Since these so-called celebrities want to die, Kitahara Sosuke will help them!
Tourism is a major source of income in the future, how can we let these people waste it?
"Rei-chan." Kitahara Sosuke called out.
The female secretary standing not far outside the door came quickly: "President, what can I do?"
"Prepare the car, I want to go to the Kyoto Police Headquarters." Kitahara Sosuke waved his hand, "Also, let the director of Kitahara Interactive Entertainment TV come with me."
"Director Ishida Tadashi is waiting for you downstairs." The girl named Korei Takamura smiled and nodded, "I will arrange a car for you right away, please wait."
"Ishida Tadashi, he's here too?" Kitahara Sosuke glanced at Korei Takamura in confusion.
