Businessmen are all driven by profit. This is true whether in Lei Luo's previous life or in the world of Naruto. Like these fifteen big businessmen from various fields sitting in the conference room, the reason why they can gather at this moment
Being together and discussing issues with Lei Luo is just because Lei Luo can bring them enough benefits.
With their strong financial strength and vast network of contacts, these big businessmen made a lot of money in Konoha with little effort. What is different from the small businessmen is that what they do is basically the industrial chain.
It is a financial game that you cannot enter without sufficient strength.
In short, don't worry about the market.
Because of this, the various industries they invested in Konoha, including a series of follow-up expenses, essentially did not bear much risk. This was not only because they were strong enough, but also because Konoha's policies favored them.
Let them not be as easy to worry about gains and losses as small businessmen.
But now, the situation has changed.
Lei Luo openly claimed that he would replace the Daimyo of the Fire Country. This idea is too crazy and too unrealistic, just because the dominance of the Daimyo, after hundreds of years of influence, has become deeply rooted in the Fire Country.
People's hearts, this is definitely not something that can be achieved by force alone.
No one would think that Lei Luo couldn't kill the Fire Country Daimyo, but what happens after he kills him?
Without the orthodox ruling class of the Fire Country, the entire country will undoubtedly fall into chaos. Even if Lei Luo steps up to take over with strong force, how can the few thousand ninjas in Konoha rule a country with millions of people?
Vast territory?
What's more, even if we take a step back, Konoha has enough manpower, can ninjas have the ability to manage the Land of Fire? In the eyes of businessmen, ninjas can only be used as tools to kill people and do the work of managers? Do they have that knowledge?
and experience?
Let ninjas replace bureaucrats, and the Fire Nation will probably end sooner or later.
The reason why the businessmen discouraged Lei Luo from being impulsive was because of the long-term loyalty to the emperor, but the most important thing was that they still did not want to see the Fire Country fall into chaos. After all, many of their assets were all over the Fire Country.
Just stay quietly.
After playing the Kingdom of Fire, everyone has no good fruits to eat.
Seeing everyone present jumping up and down like ants on a hot pot, Lei Luo felt impatient, but he still controlled his temper and spoke slowly:
"Everyone, I think you have misunderstood what I meant. It is not that I want to be the daimyo of the Fire Nation, but that "we" jointly hold the power of the Fire Nation and do it in the name of the daimyo."
Hearing the implication of Lei Luo's words, Chuan Yihui rolled his eyes, sat back on the chair, winked at the two people close to him, and signaled them to quiet down first, and then moved his lips.
But before the old man could speak, Takashi Maeda spoke first:
"Hokage-sama, I roughly understand what you mean. You want to secretly control the Daimyo and use his status to achieve your goals, is that right?"
With that said, before Lei Luo could answer, Maeda Takashi frowned and poured cold water on him calmly: "Hokage-sama, have you underestimated the officials of the Land of Fire? Although the methods of ninjas are strange and unpredictable, they are unpredictable.
There are no traces, but if there are any inconsistencies in His Majesty’s decision-making, it will naturally arouse suspicion.”
"It's only a matter of time before the news spreads and chaos comes."
"Besides, the Daimyo family has a rich heritage and has many tools for detecting ninjutsu and chakra fluctuations. They want to use genjutsu to control the Daimyo for a long time..." Shaking his head disapprovingly, Maeda Takashi showed a hint of politeness without losing embarrassment.
With a smile, I added the last sentence:
"With all due respect, the chance of success is low."
As Maeda Takashi's words fell, the businessmen couldn't help but quiet down, and all looked at Lei Luo. Obviously, Maeda Takashi's words expressed their inner thoughts, and everyone was waiting for Lei Luo's response.
"What if it's not inconsistent? If the Daimyo's performance is as usual and there is no flaw, then will the officials still be suspicious?" Lei Luo glanced around the businessmen behind the conference table and asked two rhetorical questions.
"But if that's the case, what's the point of controlling the Daimyo, Hokage-sama? If the funds can't be obtained, the problem will still not be solved." This time it was Kawa Ikki who asked the question. The old man looked confused, obviously a little confused about Lei Luo.
motivation.
At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Lei Luo's face. He slowly opened his arms, moved the palms of his hands over the direction of everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone, controlling the name of the Fire Country is for the benefit of Lei Luo.
It is also for your benefit."
The conversation gradually got to the point, and Lei Luo also gradually revealed his true purpose, making everyone look a little surprised: "The times are constantly developing, and the world is undergoing rapid changes every moment. I believe this
This situation should be deeply felt by everyone in our Konoha Village, right?"
"Our Konoha policy has abandoned all kinds of backward rules and regulations and is advanced. Most importantly, we spare no effort to support industry and commerce!"
"We, the villagers of Konoha, have a friendly attitude towards businessmen. Our various production ninjas in Konoha have seen the dawn of hope because of the existence of big businessmen like you!"
First, he desperately announced the development of Konoha. Lei Luo looked at the people who nodded silently, took a deep breath, and turned up the volume again: "So everyone, have you ever thought about Konoha's policies?
Will Ye’s development model spread to the entire Fire Country? Let’s have an industrial revolution and a real development feast?”
Since they have obtained a lot of benefits from the development of Konoha, the fifteen businessmen present nodded in unison, but soon, someone reacted, and Maeda Takashi couldn't help but asked:
"Lord Hokage, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to control the Daimyos of the Land of Fire to re-revise the law? That is...reform?"
"I prefer to call it reform." He simply replied. Seeing that Maeda Takashi, a sensible person, was the first to react, Lei Luo coughed lightly, waking up the others who were in a daze, and then sped up his speech:
"The Daimyo initiates reforms from top to bottom. This kind of abrupt behavior is likely to arouse the suspicion of the people of the Fire Nation. Therefore, I prefer that you raise funds to support a group of important officials to serve as spokespersons for the reform, and then let the Daimyos be reasonable.
Promote these reformists and let them occupy the dominant position in the government of the Country of Fire..."
"During this process, you must use the resources at your disposal to continuously build momentum for reform. When it reaches a certain level, let reformist officials jointly submit a letter and propose suggestions for amending the bill. Finally, I will control the big names to agree."
"Then, in no more than ten years at most, the entire Fire Country will be ours!"
As long as the bill is passed, it is completely foreseeable that the capitalists' own power will grow to an extremely terrifying level in this reform that affects the entire Fire Nation.
When the power of capital successfully penetrates into every corner of the Fire Nation and continues to erode into the hearts of every Fire Nation citizen, then it will no longer be the daimyo and officials who hold the core power.
