Tokyo, Chun Sanso, Zangetsu Tea House.

Today, there are no other guests in the teahouse nestled in the woods beside the stream in this historic manor.

Instead, there were many accompanying arrangements walking around. They were all dressed appropriately and were ready to remind other guests who accidentally approached to move elsewhere.

But now, in the tea room, Iwasaki Kuranosuke sat silently.

Anger was building up in his heart.

It was agreed to be 9:30, but now, only he, Takao Hirano, Tokuo Suga and the bodyguards who had been following him arrived.

There is no doubt that this is an insult to him.

Until there was a series of footsteps outside the tea room, Iwasaki Kuranosuke heard the brisk conversation, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he calmed down.

The door was pushed open, and Takao Hirano, Tokuo Suga and his guards all stood up.

But Iwasaki Kuranosuke remained firm and unwavering.

"Iwasaki-kun, long time no see."

Hearing this voice, Iwasaki Kuranosuke suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he slowly stood up, turned around and looked at the two people standing in front of him, his eyes changed again, and then he bent slightly:

"Sumitomo-san, Mitsui-kun."

Sumitomo Chengya, one of the core families of the Sumitomo Foundation and the contemporary head of the founding family, smiled slightly and said: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

There were only two rows of seats. Looking at their crowded group of six people sitting across from each other, and looking at Sumitomo Nariya and Mitsui Shinichiro sitting directly opposite, Iwasaki Kuranosuke said quietly: "I didn't expect that these two people arrived in person.

"

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Kinoshita Hidefeng and Tao Zhiming at the far side.

It turned out that there was more reason for being so arrogant last night than I thought.

Iwasaki Kuranosuke knew that things were difficult to handle, but he still looked at Tao Zhiming coldly with confidence.

What he got in return was a kind smile.

For some reason, Iwasaki Kuranosuke was aroused by his smile.

At this moment, Sumitomo Nariya looked at Shinichiro Mitsui beside him, smiled and said: "Originally, we should not interfere in the group's management. Atsushi and Hirano-kun have also discussed a cooperation strategy. Because you suddenly

I didn't expect that things would end up like this when Kinoshita-kun and Tao-kun were in trouble. But Iwasaki-kun, times have changed. How could you suddenly use such brutal methods like our ancestors? It almost happened.

It turns into five lives!”

Seeing him relying on his age to teach him a lesson, Iwasaki Kuranosuke said doubtfully: "Sumitomo-san, do you have some misunderstandings? What five lives? Now that you two have arrived together, it turns out that times have indeed changed. For the sake of the national railway reform, this is

For a small matter, you two actually used such tactics against Mitsubishi. Besides, Tao Dalang, who has always been close to you, came to me for cooperation. I just followed the trend.

"

After finishing speaking, Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked at Tao Zhiming and asked sullenly: "You came up with the plan to cooperate with our Mitsubishi, right?"

"Sir Iwasaki, you can't say that!" Tao Zhiming felt aggrieved, "I just went to visit my classmate's house and I received a call from you. We should be able to find out about this call, right? You took the initiative to call me.

That’s right, right?”

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes showed anger.

"I was summoned by you, where would I dare not go? But I was still afraid, so I quickly called over another companion, the one who was injured and has not yet recovered! But I dare not do anything anyway.

I brought him into your mansion for the first time, so I could only let him wait outside. Seeing you and this guy," Tao Zhiming pointed to his guard, "Of course I can only do everything possible to protect myself!"

He explained sincerely to Kitagawa Atsushi and Sumitomo Nariya: "Those plans were indeed initiated by me. After all, when Chairman Hirano suggested that Lord Ueda accept me as his son-in-law and adopted son, I was too slow to do so.

I slowly understood what Mitsubishi wanted, so I discussed a countermeasure with Brother Xiufeng. But at that time, everything was just for self-protection! But I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t escape the explosion..."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's hand slowly tightened under the table.

Hearing him speak in this tone in person made me feel more angry.

So Iwasaki Kuranosuke said flatly: "It doesn't matter. But Sumitomo-san and Mitsui-kun, since it is a friction between the three of us, these two people seem not qualified to participate in this negotiation, right?"

Hirano Takao silently turned his head and looked at Iwasaki Kuranosuke, saying this makes no sense, right?

Sure enough, Kinoshita Hidefaze retorted: "Iwasaki-kun, do you regard yourself as the master of neon?"

Putting a big hat on it, Kinoshita Hidefeng felt very refreshed.

Iwasaki Kuranosuke looked over with cold eyes, and Kinoshita Hidefeng felt a little weak.

I just remember how great it was when that guy Dalang was quarreling with people, but I forgot how powerful the guy opposite was.

Tao Zhiming raised a hand, caught the eye of Iwasaki Kuranosuke, and said straightforwardly: "I object!"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke ignored him, but looked at Sumitomo Nariya and Mitsui Shinichiro: "You two, what we are going to talk about involves very core business secrets of our three companies, and they are not qualified to be here. What do you think?

"

Sumitomo Nariya chuckled: "Kinoshita-kun is the director of our Sumitomo Bank, and Tao Jun is the president of our Sumitomo core company, Santomo Investment Bank."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's eyes narrowed slightly: "Mitsuyo Investment Bank?"

Shinichiro Mitsui smiled: "This is a small attempt by our two families to cooperate."

Iwasaki Kuranosuke took a slow breath and said after a moment of silence: "Very good. Let's get started, Takao!"

"Yes, then..."

"I object!"

Tao Zhiming's voice made Iwasaki Kuranosuke feel angry, and he looked at him coldly.

"Iwasaki-sama, what you are planning to discuss is the National Railways reform plan, right? That is based on what role Mogami will play in the future after the reorganization. But now, in order to protect ourselves, we signed the loan deed with you.

, should this problem be solved first?”

Tao Zhiming looked at the two family heads and two presidents on his side sincerely: "The loan of 15 billion yen has mortgaged a total of 28% of the shares of the reorganized Mogami Mirai, as well as 67% of my personal BRAVOPEACH shares.

.Such an unreasonable loan deed, if it cannot be properly resolved, there will be no basis for the cooperation between the three parties! The 15 billion yen, Brother Xiufeng and I will ask someone to take care of it. One yen is not enough.

Don’t dare to use it!”

Seeing him acting, Takao Hirano and Tokuo Suga couldn't stand it.

Where can I find 1 yen? The smallest one has a face value of 10,000 yen!

You are so exaggerated!

Iwasaki Kuranosuke said coldly: "Since you think it was me who coerced you, then just return the 15 billion yen and the deed will be invalid."

"There is also the matter of spending 100 billion yen to purchase 1% of Mitsubishi Bank's shares. At this moment, according to the stock price of Mitsubishi Bank, 100 billion yen is needed for 1% of the shares! But under the threat of life, in order to make up for this 1,000

100 million yen, we have tried our best to sell too many valuable assets at a low price. Now, the dignified Inagawa Society will soon be without a place to live! Think of so many ya pants running around

Being in Tokyo is sad and scary..."

"That's enough!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke asked coldly, "You threaten me?"

The expression on Tao Zhiming's face slowly calmed down, and he lowered his head to Sumitomo Nariya and Mitsui Shinichiro: "I'm sorry."

Then, he looked at Iwasaki Kuranosuke and said: "Threatening you? No, you think I just want to vent my anger verbally? No, no, no, are you stupid?"

The ten people in the room, except himself, the other nine were all stunned.

The person who has the hardest time believing his ears is Iwasaki Kuranosuke.

It has been many years since anyone said that to him in front of his face.

His guard suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "Asshole!"

"Don't hit the table. Slapping the table is a signal. I get nervous easily." Tao Zhiming said to him seriously, and then asked Iwasaki Kuranosuke, "Can you please stop screaming? I have already complained about our bomb case."

, someone else is checking. They are waiting outside, do you want me to pat the table and call in? "

Iwasaki Kuranosuke tried hard to restrain himself, but glanced at Sumitomo Nariya and Mitsui Shinichiro: "You two, is this also your opinion?"

Sumitomo Nariya smiled slightly: "Iwasaki-kun, Tao-kun is right. We are only shareholders of Mogami Mirai. If we cannot get the full support of Kinoshita-kun and Tao-kun, the national railway reform plan will lack an important support.

.So, let’s solve this problem first.”

"Very good." Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded heavily, then raised his palm and pressed it, and his guard sat down.

He looked at Tao Zhiming and said with a sneer: "They are all very formal transactions. There is no problem with the contract or the funds. Didn't you say that last night? Didn't you have the upper hand last night? It was in life.

An agreement signed under duress?”

"This is wrong." Tao Zhiming shook his head, "Furukawa Police Department may not have explained the situation clearly to you. You see, the situation at that time was like this. Ogata Police Department searched the entire place thoroughly!

There are two police cars parked in the yard! Although there are four police officers at the scene, they are police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! And for such an important matter, there must be a lot of force around it. Otherwise,

Why did you take the initiative to call me later to ask about the situation?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke started making fists under the coffee table again, and started again.

"So. The moment I signed, it was Police Officer Furukawa who had the upper hand. Although he has been suspended today, which is quite miserable, he was the one who made us dare not speak loudly last night! Let's take it out

He searched for the source of the money as if he were handling a case. In this situation, can we say that we have the upper hand? He has evidence in his hand that saves us from being charged as a murder suspect! But he just doesn’t

If we close the case on this condition, wouldn’t our lives be threatened in that case?”

"That's enough!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke stared at him, "Don't you think it's a waste of time?"
