Reborn Tokyo Golden Age.

Chapter 484 The Dust Settles
"Shirakawa-san, it's me ~ Tajima ~!"

"Tajima-san, why are you so panicked?" Hearing the cry on the phone, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't help but guess which Tajima it was.

After all, there are too many people with the same surname in Neon, and there is more than one person named Bai Chuan around him.

"Shirakawa-san~, the reports outside are all slander! They are slandering me~! They are slandering me~!"

Tajima Toshihiro, who was possessed by Kuntai, kept screaming in frustration. As a last resort, Shirakawa Kaede could only move the receiver slightly away from him to prevent the other person's saliva from splashing on his face along the phone line.

"Tajima-san, please don't worry about this Fuji Heavy Industries. Oh no, it should be called Subaru now.

In short, Subaru will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Tajima-san an explanation in the end. "

What Bai Chuanfeng said was righteous and upright.

"Ah? Isn't this too much of a fight? I feel that the pure will become pure, and the turbid will become turbid.

It's not worth it to waste the club's resources for mere rumors.

So let’s forget about it, I won’t argue with them~”

Can Toshihiro Tajima not care whether his ass is clean or not?
If the club conducts a thorough investigation and finds something, how should I deal with it?

After the guilty Tajima Toshihiro yelled a few words, he quickly expressed that it was a small problem and he could face the slander outside.

Bai Chuanfeng held the phone and smiled silently, but he still underestimated Tajima-san's face.

"Tajima-san's audit department is already taking action. They said that they have indeed found some financial problems based on the information in the newspaper."

"Shirakawa-san~! You have to believe me, I am loyal to you. For the acquisition of Fuji Heavy Industries, I risked my life and offended many people~"

On the other end of the phone, Tajima Toshihiro was on the verge of tears. Just now he was celebrating that he had a good life, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

"I will naturally remember Tajima-san's contribution, but those supporting evidences" Bai Chuanfeng said in an embarrassed tone, "Oh~, things must be explained to the outside world.

After all, Subaru was reborn from the ashes for the sake of the club.We must come up with a new look to give the market confidence. "

"Shirakawa-san~! I shed my blood for Fuji Heavy Industries! I made meritorious service for Subaru! I want to see you! Shirakawa-san~"

As soon as he heard that he had to give an explanation to the outside world, Tajima Toshihiro immediately panicked.

What kept popping up in his mind now was either the accountant who committed suicide for no apparent reason, or the cement pillar at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.

This is no joke, he has seen darker things in the decades of ups and downs.

So as soon as Shirakawa Kaede finished speaking, Tajima Toshihiro almost burst into tears.

"Tajima-san's matter is not as serious as you think. I will say hello to the audit department and it will not have any substantial impact on you.

However, in terms of public opinion, at this critical juncture, you still need to stand up and express your stance. "

Although Shirakawa Kaede wanted to move Tajima Toshihiro, it was far less serious than he thought.

The strange thing is that this Tajima-san is too sensitive. He just said it casually, but he looked like he wanted his life.

Hearing that he was not the one to take the blame, Toshihiro Tajima was instantly relieved.

As long as he still lives, it's just an explanation to the outside world. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept.

"Please rest assured, Shirakawa-san, Tajima will have no complaints if you have any requests for the press conference."

The so-called explanation is nothing more than bowing and apologizing, taking the blame and resigning.These are nothing compared to a small life.

Seeing Tajima Toshihiro being so knowledgeable, Shirakawa Kaede also laughed with satisfaction.

“Very good, I knew Tajima-san would put the overall situation first.

But don't worry, even if you can't serve as Subaru's president.We'll also rehire you as a Senior Consultant at Subaru. "

Shirakawa Kaede didn't do everything right, he still left a way out for Tajima Toshihiro.

The position of the president must be given up, but the welfare idle position of a senior consultant can also be given to him.

Think of it as a reward for his hard work on the Fuji Heavy Industries acquisition. This is also one of the traditions of his childhood.

No matter how big a mistake the company's top executive makes, as long as the shareholders behind it don't hold him accountable.

Then he can retire unscathed, and even get a job. The only impact is that he will no longer appear in front of the public.

The first thing the upper-class elites consider is never the public’s feelings, but the entanglement of interests behind them.

For example, what if Johnny was exposed to a shocking scandal in later generations?

Standing in front of the camera and bowing and apologizing is already a huge concession.

I did it, I admit it.But I've already apologized, what else do you want?

And you can apologize, but admitting your mistake is impossible, not in this life.

This is neon, the croak of the ass people.Among the upper class, even noise is not considered.

At this moment, I heard that not only had I saved my life, but I could also get another senior consultant.

Tajima Toshihiro didn't have any other opinions, "Shirakawa-san, I'm really honored to meet you~!"

As he spoke, he began to get excited again. As a last resort, Bai Chuanfeng comforted him and quickly found a reason to hang up the phone.

Alas, things have finally come to an end.

Tajima Toshihiro, who was holding the phone, wanted to hang up the phone, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had kneeled on the ground at some point.

Cough~ Fortunately it is a private office, he is the only one here.

After getting up, Tajima Toshihiro glanced at his office with nostalgia.

After all, I'm getting old, so I'd better stay less involved in these things in the future.

Did Toshihiro Tajima really have no doubts about who was behind the black material that suddenly broke out in outside newspapers?
It's not that he is stupid, he just doesn't dare to think about it.Because this timing was so clever, Shirakawa Holdings, Nissan, and Fuji Heavy Industries had just signed their contracts when their own scandals broke out.

No matter how you look at it, it feels abnormal. As a veteran who has been immersed in shopping malls for so many years, Tajima Toshihiro is very clear about it.

Once the contract is signed, the owner of Fuji Heavy Industries will be Shirakawa Holdings.

It was time to target Toshihiro Tajima’s black material, and the first plaintiff to be held accountable became Shirakawa Holdings.

If the contract had not been signed, Tajima Toshihiro would bet that there would be absolutely no black material about him in the newspapers at that time.

Because even if a thorough investigation was conducted at that time, it was still Fuji Heavy Industries and Nissan that ultimately decided his fate.

So this timing is too coincidental, but none of that matters anymore.

Tajima Toshihiro believed that since Shirakawa Kaede had just hinted, he would definitely keep his promise.

Just like his original gambling debt, on the night that Fuji Heavy Industries signed the contract, he received faxes from major banks in the United States.

The credit card debt of 3000 million US dollars and 36 billion yen has been completely written off.

Now that Shirakawa Kaede has hinted that he will resign as president, he will surely keep his promise in the future.

At this point, Tajima Toshihiro believed in Shirakawa Kaede's credibility, otherwise he would not have paid his 36 billion yen gambling debt.

These days, the life of a bad old man like me is not worth that much.

Therefore, Tajima Toshihiro is not worried about what will happen next, which is why he did not break up with Shirakawa Kaede.

The methods are ruthless and the promises are kept.Even if he suffered a loss at his hands, he had nothing to say.

Such a strong man may be the leader that Fuji Heavy Industries needs at this time.

A relaxed Tajima Toshihiro was already sitting at his desk and began drafting a confession letter to be released at a press conference later.

Bai Chuanfeng also felt relaxed after hanging up the phone.

Everything is ready, and now it’s time to make an announcement to the outside world.

So he picked up the phone and called Arai Yu's internal line, telling him that the two drafts he had prepared could be released one after another.

One was about the change of ownership of Fuji Heavy Industries, and of course the fact that Toshihiro Tajima was about to resign was also mentioned in passing.

It can be regarded as an explanation of the reports that have been making waves outside during this period, and at the same time, the newly selected president candidate can also be revealed in advance.

Another transaction details about the acquisition and the name change of Fuji Heavy Industries were also officially announced.

After all, there is no way to hide this kind of thing, Fuji Heavy Industries is a listed company.The data is all open to the public and can be found by just searching.

However, it cost nearly US$92 billion to acquire Fuji Heavy Industries, which was also a huge expense for Shirakawa Holdings.

Counting the more than 200 billion US dollars invested in the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in the past two years.

Nearly half of the windfall made from the Plaza Accord a few years ago has been spent.

Especially for investments like this from international investment banks, without an investment of tens of billions of dollars, there will be no substantial returns at all.

I silently calculated that I only had more than 400 billion US dollars left in my small treasury.

You have to save some money, there will be a lot of expenses waiting for you in a few years.

The cost at that time was even higher than today's Fuji Heavy Industries.

Oh, by the way, there is also the matter of Fuji Heavy Industries changing its name.

Now that Shirakawa Holdings has become the largest controlling shareholder of Fuji Heavy Industries, there is no reason to still carry the word "Fuji".

After all, when you hear "Fuji" in the business world, people will think of the Fuji Foundation.

In the past, names like Fuji Heavy Industries served the Fuji Foundation.

Now that it has changed its tune, of course it has to announce its existence to the world with a new look.

Regarding the name change of Fuji Heavy Industries, Shirakawa Kaede still retained its name in later generations, Subaru.

SUBARU means "Pleiades" in Japanese and can also be translated as "star".

At the same time, in Japanese, SUBARU also means "ruling" or "gathering".

In the west, SUBARU is a certain nebula in the constellation Taurus. Six stars in this nebula can be seen with the naked eye at night.

This is also the meaning of the six stars on the Subaru logo after the name change, and the blue background of the logo represents the night sky.

In addition, "Pleiades" is also one of the 28 constellations in Chinese. It belongs to the fourth constellation among the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the West.

It can be said that the name Subaru is related to the stars in both the East and the West.

Shirakawa Kaede was even thinking about what Subaru would be called in translation if he went to China in the future.

However, although the name was changed to Subaru, this was not without purpose.

Because in the 50s, Fuji Heavy Industries' first civilian model was the Subaru 1500.

Later, the Subaru 360 and Subaru 1000 were all the rage. It can be said that the name Subaru has long had its own popularity.

Moreover, it is also the representative of Fuji Heavy Industries' mid-to-high-end models, and it also has considerable brand recognition in the European and American markets.

So now Fuji Heavy Industries has simply changed its name to Subaru, which is actually sending a signal to the outside world.

That is, in the future, Subaru will take the automobile business as the core of the enterprise and delve deeply into the global automobile market.

But now that everything has settled, it's time for me to go to Subaru.

After all, the huge losses had to be resolved, and he also wanted to see the newly appointed Nakamura-san again.
