For Li Jiacheng, nothing can illustrate one point better than Tao Yaren's words: Tao Zhiming's strength is much stronger than many people expected.

Each of Neon's top consortiums is a behemoth worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiacheng still couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.

When Tao Zhiming encountered this turmoil, he was actually able to break the situation, and he had an absolute trump card that could seize the initiative as soon as he played it?

Those who are truly equal to Neon's top consortium, even the American consortium, can only tend to cooperate rather than devour. This is really far from Li Jiacheng's previous judgment.

He is really not a pair of white gloves for the neon big shots. This trump card is not a scandal or a handle.

This news is really shocking, and is Tao Zhiming's invitation really a rare opportunity?

In this case... Li Jiacheng thought about the role played by Xiangdao, an investment company, and solemnly picked up the phone again.

Maybe we should also invite the Huo family and the Dong family to have a chat together.

For Tao Zhiming, such a shareholder meeting may be balanced enough. Instead of asking him to bring it up when the time comes, it would be better to take the initiative to do it first.

…

Since Tao Zhiming said in an interview that day, "Don't force me to announce it proactively," the Neon stock market has fallen a bit.

Now that the Ministry of Finance has launched a six-month "major inspection", funds from various private financial clubs have suddenly shrunk, and selling orders on the financial neon stock market have increased significantly.

Facing the new trend formed in the market, all retail investors changed their expressions.

This incident that happened suddenly at this time was just a scandal that everyone liked to hear at first, but now it has affected personal interests.

40,000 points is around the corner, can’t we reach this height? And if we fall...

Panic seemed to be setting in.

Even though all kinds of gods are preaching economic data and expectations on TV, the market is still too weak to lift its head!

Only then did Miyazawa Kiji realize that although it had only been a year, the position of Minister of Finance was obviously even hotter.

But there was no way. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the one who forced Hashimoto Taro back; in fact, facing Mie Yefu and Tao Dalang, two men who might later cause huge damage to the smooth transition of the neon economy, and who were already approaching 4

The neon stock market with tens of thousands of points and the Tokyo real estate market with a single square meter price in prime locations has exceeded 100 million. He, Miyazawa Kiji, is here to take the blame!

The road to becoming a president is probably completely hopeless, right?

No! There is another way!

This is the only way.

After Black Monday two years ago, a stimulus was created by allowing clubs to choose their own accounting system and relaxing the proportion of special funds that can be used for financial investment.

This time, since land financing restrictions are to be introduced, the vitality of the financial market must be maintained!

Suppressing housing prices is a righteous cause, and so is the stability of the financial market!

There are three things a new official needs to do when he takes office. Although he is an old official, but he takes up the post again under such circumstances, he must at least make a fire.

Regarding the relaxation of restrictions on club holding mergers and acquisitions, it must be formally proposed!

The official start of the Warring States Period between the Neon Consortium begins with a trip to Kansai...

…

Within a month, the funds that had fled from Onodera Wealth in a panic, whether it belonged to housewives or some private financial clubs, have now suffered more or less losses.

This is in sharp contrast to the previous situation where Onodera Fortune was able to obtain stable returns.

Among them, the most painful thing is the stitching on the tail.

To her middle-aged and elderly customers, she is a fairy; but to her, Tao Dalang is a fairy.

If it weren't for the steady stream of profit support from Onodera's wealth, how could she have reached the point where she can easily mobilize hundreds of billions of yen now?

But after Onodera Fortune withdrew her funds at the end of October, almost all of her money was invested in the stock market because she believed Tao Dalang's words that it would reach 40,000 points within a month or two.

Although there is no liquidation at the moment, even if the overall shrinkage is less than 5% this week, it is still a loss of more than 30 billion yen for her!

What's more, she still needs to pay more than 100 million yen in interest every day?

At this moment, she received a call from Takagi Renpachi.

"Daiichi Quanye Bank wants to spin off the trust department and establish a specialized trust bank?" Ogami was a little surprised, "Takagi-san, then you contact me..."

"Our chairman heard the news that during the financial review of Onodera's wealth by the joint investigation team of the Ministry of Finance, it was found that a huge amount of funds had been flowing to many accounts in Osaka in the past three years. Some accounts were opened in Societe Generale,

There is also the one who persuaded us first. If I remember correctly, although the account name is your adopted daughter, it is actually controlled by you, right?"

A sudden thought occurred to Ogami: "Takagi-san, this is also one of my investment strategies. You..."

"You, known as the 'Kitahama Immortal', actually have an investment strategy of entrusting funds to other financial clubs?" Takagi Jinhachi said with ridicule, then lowered his voice and said, "However, although through our first business

The amount of funds transferred by the bank is not large, but the total amount of funds flowing from Onodera's wealth to Osaka at the same time is really too large. Especially at the end of last month... the scale of the funds is really surprising, Onoe Sennin."

My heart sank. Didn't Tao Dalang say that the investigation would not involve external parties?

Is his miraculous ability to make money in the past three years really due to a large number of insider financial transactions? Otherwise, regardless of his own ability, why have he never seen anyone else achieve such a high and stable rate of return?

"Takagi-san, since you mentioned the trust bank, please tell me what the purpose is." She was already thinking about how to communicate this information to other people in the "Seam Club" later.

On the phone, Takagi Renpachi spoke in a very friendly tone: "Of course I want to ask Onoue Sennin to become a shareholder of this trust bank. With such a huge amount of funds, Onoue Sennin doesn't want the companies that lend you money to be under pressure from major inspections and need you.

Supplement more complete information, and even pay off those problematic loans in advance?"

"...What kind of problematic loan, Takagi-san, what are you talking about?"

"Think about it carefully. As the general manager of Daiichi Industrial Bank, you will talk nonsense. Moreover, I am trying to find a way to help you. After all, with your influence, the trust bank of Daiichi Industrial Bank

, we can get more customers.”

Ogami was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let's meet, Mr. Takagi."

…

On the Shijo Street side of Kyoto, the old neighborhood prepared for the filming of "Memoirs of a Geisha" has officially begun to be renovated.

The scene was in full swing, but Naoki Kobayashi of Hankyu Electric Railway was worried.

"Ueno-kun, what is so special about the details of the investigation results that makes President Tao have such a tough attitude?"

Ueno Yosuke is here to help coordinate the advancement of the entire Kansai project. Starting from the filming of "Memoirs of a Geisha", Iwai Shunji is only a newcomer after all, and has insufficient experience in many things. Although Ueno Yosuke is about the same age as him, he has a completely different identity.

.

Hearing Naoki Kobayashi's words, Ueno Yosuke smiled and replied: "President Kobayashi, haven't the crew already come here now? They rented your office building on Shijo Street as the crew's workplace, and the rent has been paid. What are you worried about?"

"...Don't be joking." Naoki Kobayashi muttered to himself that the small amount of money was nothing. "Because of Chairman Tao's tough attitude, many people now think that he is probably innocent. The so-called 'financial power transaction' is Kagura Town

The leaders of the plan and the Kansai Film and Television New City Plan are what those big consortiums are doing. The core companies of the consortia, including companies like our Hankyu Electric Railway, have seen their stocks fall!"

"Isn't the temporary decline just in time to buy back some shares? 40,000 points is still worth looking forward to." Yosuke Ueno remained calm and composed, still joking.

Although Naoki Kobayashi is a big privateer and the owner of the famous Hankyu Electric Railway in Kansai, he is still not enough in this turmoil. Even Nobuhiko Horikawa is being played, how much real information can he get?

?

Miyazawa Keiji suddenly resumed his position as Minister of Finance. Shouldn't this be proof that the party that attacked Tao Dalang has won? Even if it is to prove "justice", it will not set off a "major inspection" of the entire financial industry.

!

I heard that he is already on his way to Kansai, and it seems that the first wave of the "big inspection" will be launched in Kansai. This is so puzzling. After all, according to what we have learned before, Miyazawa Kiji

Don’t you have a good relationship with First Quanye Bank?

Kobayashi Naoki felt that this was too passive, so he pulled Ueno Yosuke to a quiet place: "Ueno-kun, you are also a shareholder of Toho now! Because of this incident, Toho's stock price has also fallen a bit. Doesn't President Tao care?

Since Chairman Tao’s attitude is so tough, there should be some countermeasures, right? Let me make preparations in advance, which will be beneficial to everyone."

Ueno Yosuke continued to hide, and asked with a smile: "President Kobayashi, don't worry. After all, such a big thing happened, and it is normal for the stock price to drop temporarily. The incident will be over soon, our president

Since my lord said that, of course I am confident enough that I will win."

"That's the Iwasaki family, which represents Mitsubishi. Will they back down easily?" Naoki Kobayashi remained skeptical, "Why would Mitsui and Sumitomo withdraw from Mitsui Investment Bank if it wasn't because there were enough risks?"

"That matter..." Ueno Yosuke sighed and seemed to think about it for a moment, "President Kobayashi, let you meet someone."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and said coolly: "Yoko, stop pestering Miss Sawaguchi, she has to work! Come to the office building."

"...Who?" Kobayashi Naoki heard the name he called, it should be a woman, right?

Ueno Yosuke didn't say anything first, but sat down and said leisurely: "Now, the Iwasaki family has provoked this incident for the benefit of Mitsubishi. Starting from the Tokyo Futo Center Plan to the later Kaguramachi Plan, including the Kansai

Is there any financial rights transaction in the new film and television city plan? If the real investigation continues in depth, the risks will certainly be extremely high. It is also normal for Mitsui and Sumitomo to withdraw from Mitsui Investment Bank."

Kobayashi Naoki saw that he seemed to be telling him a lot of inside information, so he sat down expectantly and let a beautiful girl who came here from the Takarazuka Revue to serve as his secretary continue to make tea.

Ueno Yosuke smiled and nodded to the girl, took the tea cup and took a sip before saying: "In Tokyo, we have a close relationship with Mitsui and Sumitomo in the Kagurama Project; in Kansai, we have a close relationship with the First Persuasion

Silver has a close relationship with the film and television new city project. Mitsubishi has always been focused on heavy industry, and has a strong presence in finance and

In the field of real estate, their strength is relatively weak. If they choose to take action at this time, wouldn't it have caused turbulence in the financial market? If the smooth progress of the Kaguramachi plan and the film and television new town plan are further prevented, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Daiichi will

Silver, the three major financial groups will all face tremendous pressure, right?"

Kobayashi Naoki nodded: "But isn't Kaifu-sama also closely related to Chairman Tao? I heard that Kaifu-sama is discussing very strict land financing restrictions with many congressmen. This should be something Mitsubishi would like to see. Why?

Stop Kaifu-sama?"

"Because Mitsubishi had a worse foundation in the financial and real estate fields before, it started later than Mitsui and Sumitomo. Now, they have just negotiated more cooperation with Furong and Sanwa, and have also entered the real estate field through the Iwasaki family.

Mitsubishi was suddenly faced with very strict land financing restrictions before it had achieved sufficient returns, and everyone could see that Mieno-sama was about to take office and implement a new financial tightening policy. The dual pressures hit Mitsubishi even harder."

Kobayashi Naoki was silent for a while, and then said: "But I heard Chairman Horikawa say that the plan proposed by Kaifu-sama is much more radical than everyone expected. So in this incident, Mitsui and Sumitomo withdrew from Mitsui Investment Bank, in fact, everyone

A common will. That’s why Miyazawa-san returned to serve as the minister of Tibet, suppressing Mieye-sama, and balancing Kaifu-sama.”

"So now that Mr. Miyazawa is back, it's time for real negotiations."

Ueno Yosuke found the pleasure of Tao Zhiming and the big guys from all over the world pointing the way. After all, the person in front of him was also the chairman of the powerful private gang, but now he was looking for answers to his questions.

He smiled mysteriously again and said slowly: "Master Miyazawa came to Kansai with a very important mission. President Kobayashi, you will definitely know about that mission soon, so I will tell you first.

Right. Mr. Miyazawa came here to persuade some big figures in Kansai to help promote the relaxation of the policy on club holdings."

"Relaxation of club holdings?" Naoki Kobayashi asked, "Is that the relaxation of merger and acquisition policies?"

"That's right!" Ueno Yosuke said with emotion, "The Warring States Period in the business world is about to begin! Now that the war between consortiums has begun, perhaps this more relaxed environment shaping is Mitsubishi's most real purpose! And Mitsui,

When Sumitomo initially withdrew from Santomo Investment Bank, it was a natural progression, right? After losing two huge growth points in finance and real estate, consortiums and super club groups, which are the pillars of the economy, need new growth points."

Kobayashi Naoki's expression was unpredictable. Hankyu Electric Railway's position happened to be rather embarrassing. To a certain extent, Hankyu Electric Railway was also a super corporate group; but, after all, there were behemoths like large consortiums above it.

Ueno Yosuke continued: "Neon's finance and real estate can suppress the momentum of continued expansion; but Neon's overall economy still needs to continue to grow, so this is also in line with Kaifu-sama's governing aspirations. What is Kaifu-sama's direction?

What is more advantageous is that Miyazawa-san's direction is more correct. We can only leave it to time. Even Kaibu

The strategy of building a nation through science and technology and building a cultural power that your Excellency insists on also requires the support of financial groups and super club groups. Things that benefit from the longer-term future always need to make up for the immediate benefits. Therefore, I am afraid that Kaifu-sama will also support the relaxation of club holdings.

Restrictions can be exchanged for other people’s support for land financing restrictions and technological and cultural strategies.”

"...Why did you choose President Tao as the trigger for this incident?" Kobayashi Naoki murmured.

"The chairman and I are both young and can focus on longer-term benefits. However, the Gate of Heaven project and the Tokyo Yacht Home Port are not without our weaknesses." Ueno Yosuke said helplessly, "As a new force, we naturally

It is unfortunate that

For this reason, the plan proposed by Mr. Kaifu is too radical, but it has always been supported by us. I am afraid it is also understood that we want to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Daiichi Bank, which is good for future cooperation.

Take more initiative."

Kobayashi Naoki looked at him speechlessly. Are you young people too brave? Do you still dare to try to weaken the strength of large consortiums?

"Since there were indeed conflicts before, what is President Tao's strength?"

Ueno Yosuke smiled slightly: "The Ministry of Finance is unwilling to announce it now, and I can't say. In short, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and the first bank have already given in. Next, it will be Mitsubishi, Furong, and Sanwa."

"..." Naoki Kobayashi hated these Riddlers.

Time is money, my friend! These people have grasped the future trend in advance, and they are probably making secret plans at this moment, right?

If regulations on mergers and acquisitions are relaxed, it will be understandable that they can patiently deal with the temporary turmoil in the financial market.

But Hankyu Electric Railway, who knew a little but not completely, was very flustered!

What if Mitsubishi, Furong, and Sanwa don't give in?

Thinking of the relationship between Miyazawa Kiji and Daiichi Kanyin, Kobayashi Naoki was horrified: "Daiichi Kanyin, has he really given in?"

If this is the case, then the so-called "major inspection" by the Ministry of Finance is probably just a tool.

Whoever doesn't give in will find trouble! Those who give in will turn a blind eye to some mistakes.

After all, who is really clean and can withstand thorough investigation?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a soft voice said: "I'm sorry, Ueno-kun, are you here?"

Ueno Yosuke said with a smile: "Come in."

The door was opened, and a young girl dressed in fashionable clothes walked in timidly. When she saw Naoki Kobayashi, she quickly bowed: "Excuse me..."

Kobayashi Naoki felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he looked at Ueno Yosuke in confusion. What did you mean when you said you were letting yourself meet someone, a girl?

Ueno Yosuke stood up with a smile, walked to her side, held her hand and squeezed it, as if to appease her anxiety: "This is President Naoki Kobayashi of Hankyu Electric Railway. He and your father are also good friends."

Facing the girl's formal greetings again, Naoki Kobayashi smiled and nodded, still wondering: Good friend? Whose daughter is this?

Ueno Yosuke then said meaningfully: "This is Mr. Takagi's daughter Yoko, my fiancée."

Kobayashi Naoki's heart was suddenly shocked. His surname was Takagi, his friend. He also addressed him as "sir", his fiancée... The only family worthy of Ueno Yosuke's status is Takagi Hitoshi of Daiichi Kanye Bank.

Eight.

"...She is indeed a handsome man and a beautiful woman." Kobayashi Naoki greeted politely, and couldn't help but meet Ueno Yosuke's smiling eyes.

The so-called first persuasion bank also gave in, or even reached the step of marriage?

If Tao Dalang hadn't already been married, then... But Naoki Kobayashi quickly thought of the woman who was now rumored among the big shots in Kansai, Haruno Haruka of Hachiman Shrine.

As his mind raced, Kobayashi Naoki laughed and said: "This is really a happy event. When I first heard about it, I didn't prepare any gifts. Takagi-san also knew if he had time, we would go to the humble house to have a family dinner together in the evening.

!”

Ueno Yosuke's face was full of smiles: "It should be true. I had such a pleasant exchange with President Kobayashi, and my father must also support me as my son-in-law in the future."

Kobayashi Naoki became happy. It seemed that it was very wise to agree to let Tao Dalang hold shares in Dongbao. Now at least he has a chance to get on a big ship and not be swallowed up by the huge waves caused by the Warring States Period among consortiums.

Yoko Takagi is only 17 years old, and she feels a lot of admiration when she watches conference presidents like Ueno Yosuke and Kobayashi Naoki chatting back and forth.

The young and ignorant Yoko Takagi did not feel too resistant to her father's arrangements, especially after meeting Yosuke Ueno.

He is indeed the most talented young man in Neon, and the right-hand man of Tao Dalang who is currently in the whirlpool of public opinion.

But my father said that the two of them will be the top figures in Neon in the future, and their achievements will far exceed that of my father.

Being held by Yosuke Ueno, he kept listening to him talk to Kobayashi Naoki without hesitation about Hankyu Electric Railway's future plans in Kansai Film and Television City, his suggestions for Toho's investment direction, and even the Neon Consortium.

During the Warring States Period and other things, Takagi Yoko had a feeling of being trusted.

Was it such a magnificent era? He was young, with a confident smile on his profile and shining eyes.

Takagi Yoko recalled the first time he saw him in Master Ueda's dojo. At that time, he was fighting Master Ueda with a bamboo sword. Although he was at a disadvantage, his momentum was not weak.

That’s Lord Ueda!

Ueno-kun, if it was during the Warring States Period, he would have been a powerful samurai and a heroic figure, right?

Yoko Takagi gradually felt her body getting a little warm, and her hands... her palms began to sweat.
