Tao Zhiming then received a reply from Tao Yaren first, but from Zhao Yuanxi's side, Li Ju did not contact him.

However, now that the financial groups behind Tao Yaren have decided to cooperate with Tao Zhiming, the Li family, Guo family and other Xiangdao families, who have been revealed by Tao Yaren to have "extraordinary relations", will take action sooner or later.

"It's up to you to contact Gallo Winery." Tao Zhiming took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, "Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, but you can't be at home with your wife, so the boss will give you a big red envelope!"

"...Then I'll take it." Zhao Yuanxi reached out and took it. After looking at it, he opened his mouth and asked, "So many?"

"You deserve it." Tao Zhiming was very willing to deal with the important people under his command, and said with a smile, "Now many people want to bribe you, so I have to work harder to win over people."

"There's no need to be like this. Isn't everything your plan?" Zhao Yuanxi collected the red envelope and then asked, "Will you rush back to Neon today?"

"Yes, help me keep an eye on this."

After coming to the United States, the most important thing has been achieved, but there are also some other things that can be done.

The neon consumption tax will be implemented soon, the commodity tax will be abolished, and the price of imported goods will drop. The neon people at the peak of the bubble should relax their consumption of luxury goods.

Tao Zhiming was on the Forbes rich list at that time, and met Ramsay Williams, the manager of Gallo Wine, on the plane. Now he has an order from Ouilt, and Neon has further expanded the luxury goods market.

The trading company has to conduct a series of purchases around the world this time.

Zhao Yuanxi has a lot of things to do, but Tao Zhiming has to go back to Neon to implement important things.

It was already late at night when the private plane landed in Tokyo.

But Taro Hashimoto got the news and was still waiting for him in Taoranting.

When Tao Zhiming arrived at the place, he discovered that Zhu Shangta's secretary Qing Muping was also there.

"Tao Jun, thank you for your hard work. I have to rush here as soon as I return to Tokyo. I'm really sorry."

Tao Zhiming, who was tired of work, asked Wangguichao, who was renamed Tao Zhijuan, to help him take away his coat. After greeting the two of them, he said: "I got some sleep on the plane, and I'm in good condition now."

"Take a sip of the hot bar first." Although Taro Hashimoto and Tsubo Aoki were anxious, they had to show the necessary calmness.

After a few words of greeting, Tao Zhiming took the initiative and said: "My gains are also very limited, but the other party has approved my plan to establish the Sanyou Foundation, and then they will buy 17.5% of the shares first. But I'm sorry, Mr. Stevenson Rockefeller

, and several others, they only represent one of the forces. Now that the Rikurut incident has been unearthed by the Tokyo District Prosecutors' special investigation, I am afraid that a result will eventually be needed."

Qingmuping's expression changed.

Tao Zhiming pretended not to see it, because he was the one who was pushed out by Zhu Shangta in the end to save his dignity.

Qingmuping was forced to "commit suicide" in the end.

Taro Hashimoto was speechless for a moment.

Tao Zhiming poured the wine and said slowly: "After analyzing the information I have obtained, the overall situation is irreversible."

He poured the wine, put his hands on his knees and said seriously: "Last month, Poland held a roundtable meeting, and it has been determined that elections for the Parliament and the Senate will be held in June. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, South Korea

La...Now that the huge storm over Hongsu has set off, we can only do our best to cope with this huge change in the world. Mr. Hashimoto and Mr. Aoki, I can only say that the structure of neon will still be stable.

"

The Heisei era began against the background of such great changes in the world.

The structure of neon will still be stable. How could someone like Stevenson say that? But this is what Tao Zhiming said based on his own understanding of history.

However, living in an unknown era, these big figures in Neon are naturally anxious about where the future pattern will go. After all, the existence of Neon's current structure was originally a bridgehead against the red camp on the west coast of the Pacific.

Now that one side is crumbling and the other is booming, Neon's biggest worry is nothing more than the complete recasting of the political and economic structure. The consortium is willing to be ripped off in order to maintain its position in the country.

Hearing what Tao Zhiming said, Hashimoto Taro felt a lot more relieved, but Aoki Tsubo looked gray and solemn.

Tao Zhiming followed this topic and talked about possible changes in the future: "This time I went, the American consortium was actually carefully planning how to cooperate with the reformed Hongsu. As for neon, they just because there are many industries

Due to the huge competitive pressure from the Neon brand, we made many demands. The ultimate goal of these demands is only economic benefits."

What he said is not unpleasant. After all, is it because Neon cannot stand upright in front of the United States and has no power to fight back?

Otherwise, why should we meet these requirements?

But now what he said made Taro Hashimoto nod his head and said with emotion: "We must also respond to the big changes affecting the world. So, have they agreed to help lobby for the relaxation of sanctions?"

Tao Zhiming felt a bit ridiculous. They actually pinned their hopes on a business figure like Tao Zhiming to cooperate with the American consortium and ask them to help lobby in the United States to relax sanctions on some neon industries?

This shows how strong the United States is in official-level confrontations.

Could it be that Neon's negotiation documents were really folded into paper airplanes and thrown away during the negotiations?

"Hashimoto-sama, you know...this is already their common will and interest." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Neon Semiconductor Corporation must find a way to survive under such pressure..."

"In a field like this, aren't we allowed to surpass them?" Taro Hashimoto murmured to himself.

Tao Zhiming calmly invited them to drink.

There is no need to talk more about what follows.

Anyway, in this era of great changes, these neon political figures are only concerned about whether the order of the world will change in the future, and whether the order of neon will change.

On this point, Tao Zhiming is very sure that it will not change. Although there will be turmoil and they will temporarily lose their position as prime minister, they will still be in power for a long time.

Therefore, let’s just take this as the correct attitude we got from the United States.

The world is in turmoil now, and they are really worried that after Neon's domestic economic situation becomes extremely bad, the United States will take advantage of this to stir up a bigger storm, change the status of the Democratic Liberal Party, and allow consortiums to control the economy.

The structure of the lifeblood was broken up, making the entire neon even more vulnerable to the United States.

From this point of view, they are all "patriotic".

There are some words that Tao Zhiming did not mention. The reason why the United States took action at this time was not mainly because Neon's strength had become stronger. The factions now in power are all left-leaning, trying their best to break free from the rope around their necks and become a "normal person."

” country.

This is of course "patriotic".

However, this does not meet the needs of the United States.

It was clear that Neon's political and economic structure did not require major changes, and Hashimoto Taro also had content to report back to.

At least we have a basic plan on how to deal with the coming turmoil.

Only Qingmuping was uneasy. Before leaving, he couldn't help but pause and ask Tao Zhiming: "Mr. Tao, can't the Likulut incident stop?"

Tao Zhiming pretended to be stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Master Aoki, they will not say that this is what they did. However, it is obvious that they can't stop now."

Qingmuping looked like he was thinking about Zhu Shangta, and sighed: "The situation is difficult. Anyway, Tao Jun, thank you for your hard work."

Watching the two people leaving, Tao Zhiming felt a little funny.

They came here and seemed to understand something, but in fact they didn't fully understand it.

It seems like I have helped a lot, but in fact I have done nothing.

Everything stems from the turbulent world situation and the aggressiveness of the United States towards neon. The victims are overly worried, but cannot make a complete surrender gesture. They still want to preserve their status and interests.

Tao Zhiming just came up with the idea of ​​a new consortium that would allow American capital to participate a little bit, and asked them to hope that those jackals would only "harvest in an orderly manner" through this new consortium and maintain Neon's current political and economic structure.

In fact, the United States did not participate in it. Historically, the United States has never dismantled Neon's current structure. It has not even forced Neon to relax restrictions on the proportion of foreign capital's shares in important companies, as it did with Zhou Guo.

For Zhou Kingdom, that is the real harvest!

…

Sure enough, just one week later, the president of Likulut was formally arrested. Then a week later, a former section chief of the Ministry of Labor was arrested. By early March, nTT had just arrested the president who resigned at the end of last year.

…

As the consumption tax is about to be officially implemented, opposition is rising day by day, and Takegami's approval rating has dropped to 20%.

On this day in mid-March, the front page of Neon Economic News published a news: Sumitomo Mitsui’s huge 18 trillion yen plan! Tokyo Kaguramachi plan released!

The land price alone exceeds 10 trillion yen, and the cumulative development investment is nearly 8 trillion yen. The renderings of the first "Heaven's Gate" that will be put into construction are extremely eye-catching in newspapers.

"So big! A huge torii gate made of reinforced concrete? The Gate of Heaven. Does this symbolize the expectation of the land of God in Tokyo?"

"...Real estate prices in Tokyo are going to be higher."

"It will be completed within two years. Are you lying? How is it possible..."

"If Sumitomo and Mitsui join forces and have sufficient funds, it is possible to create miracles, right?"

"Didn't you say that we should suppress the price of real estate? If this continues, how can we do it?"

"..."

Compared with the discussions of ordinary people, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki had no intention of paying attention to these.

With a gloomy look on his face, he confirmed on the phone again: "All the procedures for this project have been completed and can it be started?"

How is this possible?

How could a huge project located next to Ginza in Minato City be launched so quickly without going through repeated demonstrations and soliciting opinions from all parties?

Before that, he had never even heard that Sumitomo and Mitsui were planning to develop that land.

"The inside story here is very complicated..." replied an official who had some personal relationship with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, "The National Railway Liquidation Committee needs enough funds to repay debts. The land belonging to the Higashi Neon Branch will be required later according to the original agreement.

paid with development proceeds. In addition, Mitsui and Sumitomo

I have paid a lot of attention in the semiconductor agreement incident, so this can be regarded as a kind of compensation... Chairman Tsutsumi, this development plan will also be beneficial to your development of Osaki New Town, right? But now it is necessary for the government to further raise the price of real estate in Tokyo.

The practice has been criticized more..."

"It's beneficial? I guess..." Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said this, but his intuition felt something was wrong.

The most important problem is, isn't it that Sumitomo and Mitsui were not willing to develop at such a high level of real estate prices? Even the deputy city center plan had people like Hidekaze Kinoshita taking the lead.

So he asked: "What about the development model? Is it also a consortium established by Sumitomo and Mitsui?"

After Tsutsumi Yoshiaki consulted a lot of information, he felt even worse.

Why did Mitsui and Sumitomo choose to launch such a large project at this moment?

How could Tao Dalang and Kinoshita Hidekaze be willing to invest 150 billion yen to develop the "Gate to Heaven" when they did not agree to participate in a more mature residential real estate development like Osaki New Town?

All of a sudden, there were many people in Tokyo who didn't know what was going on, and they were all stunned and looking for information about this project.

This project has been quietly prepared for nearly two months, and more detailed information was soon unearthed.

The value of this land exceeds 10 trillion yen, and the complete land ownership is still in the hands of National Railway East Neon.

As for Kaguramachi's development model, it is actually developed by borrowing land rights for the time being. This company, Kaguramachi Real Estate Co., Ltd., leased this land for development.

This means that the real estate developed in the future will be a time-limited leasehold property.

Kagurama is a business-oriented town. This way, it seems that it will not raise the price of real estate in Tokyo too much. After all, the property rights are incomplete.

This also makes sense: the land price exceeds 10 trillion yen. If freehold development is really carried out, how much money will be spent on land transfer?

However, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and others later understood: This was to be developed with leasehold property rights first. If the price of neon real estate fell later, wouldn't it be enough to sell it and turn it into permanent property rights?

But they still can't figure it out. If this is the case, even if it can be built within two years, if they want to sell it before the real estate price drops, won't they still be unable to get the permanent property rights at that time? After all, the real estate price has not dropped yet, and they still have

You won't spend that much money to get the complete ownership of the land.

Unless there is another inside story!

After all, such a large project attracted a lot of attention, and the inside story was quickly discovered.

It is nothing more than a very common clause: Kaguracho Real Estate can own the complete property rights of this land, but it must complete the entire planned development within 10 years and complete the purchase of the land property rights.

Everything is to promote the early development of the entire project and prevent the debt borne by National Railway East Neon from being unable to pay off. With the proceeds from the development, developers in Kagurura Town have priority to complete the purchase of the entire land property rights within 10 years.

The funds will be used to pay off debts of National Railway East Neon.

Purchase land within 10 years…

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and others were confused, why?

Just because they are Sumitomo and Mitsui?

Why don’t other consortiums have any objections?

In 10 years, if the land price falls back, wouldn't they be able to purchase the land completely at a low price?

It was only after Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and others had a deeper understanding that they discovered that, in exchange, other branches of National Railways also enjoyed the same conditions if some of their assets were developed by other consortiums.

It seems that everything is making way for the National Railway to pay off its debt!

"This is complete embezzlement!" Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's face turned pale. Why should they buy the land first and then develop it? But these large consortiums can develop it first and then get the money after selling the freehold property rights.

Buy land?

Suddenly, public opinion heated up toward this method of disposal.

The cherry blossoms are in bloom again, and the cherry blossoms in the early years of Heisei seem to be even more brilliant.

On April 1, the consumption tax was officially implemented, and the opposition to the cabinet and Kaguramachi's shady operations became louder and louder.

However, everything seemed unstoppable, and the construction of the Gate of Heaven actually started. In other areas of Kagurakucho, other infrastructure projects also began to be constructed.

"Is this method really enough?" Takegami held a plan and murmured to Aoki Ping in front of him.

"Now, we can only do this." Qingmuping's face became more lively, "In this case, the Likulut incident will be settled!"

"But my journey ends here..." Takegami was nostalgic, but also helpless.

"Uno-san will do a good job!" Aokitsubo said hurriedly, "Although we are no longer at the front desk, this can ensure the continuation of our influence. Mr. Takegami, this is the clear answer Tao Jun got from the United States.

As long as they use this method, they will mobilize their power to stop the Rikurut incident and not involve us, or even Nakaso-sama!"

"What do other people say?"

"Everything is for the sake of stable governance, and everyone has made compromises to the interests of our faction!"

"I hope they will fulfill their promise." Takegami said they were not sure whether he was referring to the consortiums in the United States or the bosses of other factions.

In mid-April, the real estate tycoons who were pushing against the Kaguramachi model stopped and instead rushed to engage in another battle, one that has not yet been announced to the public.

When Tao Zhiming, who returned to Tokyo from the United States, walked into the conference room, all the big guys who were there last time were present again.

"I'm sorry, it took a little longer than expected to get from the airport."

Sumitomo Narumi and the others looked at Tao Zhiming with solemn eyes: "Everything depends on the next step, whether the Likulut incident can be stopped."

"They have already guaranteed this." Tao Zhiming sat down and asked with a smile, "Now, how much money are you willing to participate in the development of Kagura Town? How are the preparations for the IPO of National Railway East Neon?"

Instead, the room fell silent, looking at Tao Zhiming with a somewhat complicated look.

"...Is this a look at the devil? Everyone, since the future collapse is inevitable, it is most appropriate to actively greet it in various ways and try your best to control it, right?"

"I just didn't expect that the plan would really get to this point." Anzhai Shanwei said with emotion, "Let all citizens share the future income after the private reform of the national railway's non-performing assets? Now, too many people will be trapped.

This wealth creation myth is gone.”

Tao Zhiming and others finally threw out the most cruel move of the Kagurachi plan.

A piece of land "worth 10 trillion yen" will be completely sold within 10 years. National Railway East Neon will greatly optimize its debt situation and has an unlimited future. Under this kind of good news, after nTT, another stock that is bound to rise sharply

, National Railway East Neon will be publicly listed. At the same time, there will naturally be two other national railway branches with the same "bright" prospects listed on the market.

At the same time, Kaguracho Real Estate will also sell corporate bonds to other real estate developers and financial institutions, and raise funds through shares.

Ordinary people have profited from the rise in National Railway's stock prices. People like Tsutsumi Yoshiaki share in this area by becoming shareholders of Kagurama or purchasing bonds. Kagurama Real Estate will acquire this area in the future at a lower land price than it may be now

income to come.

People with different levels of information are all happy.

Everyone has a bright future.

Except for one thing: No one could have expected that in just a few years, Neon's stock market and real estate would collapse so miserably.
Chapter completed!
