Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 263 New Enemy

  The fourth floor arrived soon. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Sakura Fujiwara saw the logo wall of the club. Under the wall, there were actually several large dolls piled up.

   "Come here, wait in the conference room first." Yosuke Ueno took two steps forward and pointed in one direction, "Over there."

   "Yes!" Fujiwara Sakura walked over nervously, and then entered the office area.

   Groups of desks are placed in a spacious hall-style room, and it looks like there are dozens of them.

   I didn't see many people coming downstairs just now, but at this moment there are actually quite a few people sitting down and starting to work.

  Is this the Taisha Club? Everyone looks so motivated. I don't know what it's like to be a clerk in a bookstore.

   Seeing that the other seniors really greeted him, Fujiwara Sakura confirmed from their titles that he was indeed the president.

   So young!

  Fujiwara Sakura can't help but admire a little, are all young people in Tokyo so powerful?

   With excitement, she walked to the conference room to sit, and only after entering the door did she realize that she was not the first to come.

   "Sakura!"

  Fujiwara Sakura trotted over excitedly and sat there, whispering, "I saw the president just now, and we took the elevator together! Very young and handsome!"

   "Really? Not only the president, but the president is also very young?"

   We dare not talk loudly, but everyone is full of longing for future work.

  The time passed by and the meeting room was gradually filled.

  The chatter stopped instantly after a few people walked in together, Fujiwara Sakura looked up, it was the president!

  Tao Zhiming and Ueno Yosuke sat in the middle together, and the other high-rises sat on both sides.

   Ueno Yosuke stood up and said aloud: "Then, the welcome and induction ceremony for the new members begins now!"

  Fujiwara Sakura sat down first and listened to the president begin to introduce the departments and leaders of each department in the club. Hearing that the president actually served as the head of the strategic cooperation department in person, could not help but stunned.

   But his position is a bookstore clerk, so he should be under the leadership of that Minister Yamamoto, right?

   looks like a kind uncle.

   But who knew that the president said: "Now we start to make arrangements for the divisions where everyone works, and some people have adjusted. The first is the bookstore retail division..."

  Fujiwara Sakura listened dumbly after he finished reading the list, and then read the magazine business department, but did not hear his name.

   So, do you want to go to the department led by the president or the president?

   "...Next is the Strategic Cooperation Department, Sakura Fujiwara..."

   Hearing his own name being the first to be pronounced, Sakura Fujiwara couldn't help but look at the president. But he was looking down at some document, but Deputy Chief Masui glanced at himself with a smile.

   Strategic Cooperation Department? Fujiwara Sakura is a little confused, what is that?

"Everyone has filled out the information on the entry form, and the fitted work clothes will be distributed to everyone before get off work today. Now, Minister Yamamoto and Minister Naoe will lead the new members of the department to meet other seniors and arrange future work. Members of the Publishing Department and the Strategic Cooperation Department, please stay."

  Fujiwara Sakura was assigned to the Strategic Cooperation Department, so he stayed in the conference room.

"Let's all sit in front." Yosuke Ueno waited for the remaining fifteen people to sit in the front before saying, "For the club, our publishing business department and strategic cooperation department are brand new departments. Except for the experienced seniors who are recruited from other departments, there is a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, everyone must study hard and complete the assigned work carefully.”

   "Yes!" Fujiwara Sakura looked at his minister, the president, and now he has looked up at everyone.

It was still Yosuke Ueno who spoke up: "At this stage, the work of the publishing business department and the strategic cooperation department is the same, that is, to find contracted writers and cartoonists for the club! Listen, this is the next week that needs everyone. finished work…"

  Fujiwara Sakura then knew what the job she was about to do was going to be.

   Looking for writers and cartoonists to sign up?

   But that sounds amazing!

"...Every university, high school, and every society related to literature and comics in Tokyo must be contacted to convey the information of our dimensional culture and the reward policy for creators! The second floor of this building and the The third floor is a comfortable creative space for creators, creators who have signed contracts with us can live here for free!" Yosuke Ueno did a lot of homework and picked up a stack of materials, "Sakura, help Distribute it to everyone."

  Fujiwara Sakura quickly stood up: "Yes!"

Yosuke Ueno also said: "Light novels are a literary genre that is not yet valued, and everyone's work may be relatively easy. But manga artists will be a little more difficult. Their first choice is manga magazines that already have a large circulation, and ours "Comics Dimension" has not been published yet. Therefore, let them see our strong strength. The reward for signing a contract of 200,000 yen, ten outstanding works this year, each with a reward of 2 million yen, should also be able to impress many people. "

   Fujiwara Sakura only hated herself for not having talent while posting information.

  Dimensional Culture's strategy for light novels and comics magazines has to start with newly recruited members who don't understand anything. Tao Zhiming's only advantage at present is money, and he has a very clear direction.

   At this point in time, light novels have not been taken seriously.

   He asked Yosuke Ueno to do research. At present, major publishers, including the later famous Kadokawa Bookstore, have not yet started to launch the light novel library.

  Nowadays, although some major companies have started to hold annual awards for manga or novels, the prize money has not exceeded one million yen.

  Tao Zhiming would rather throw money at him than throw a preconceived idea.

  Dimensional culture is the first to carry the banner of light novels.

   Even in the most prosperous years of the bubble, everyone will be more addicted to the real material enjoyment. But this bubble will eventually burst, and the Heisei generation will eventually rise up!

   A few years, to put it rudely, how much extra can it cost?

   But in the past few years to buy horse bones, he wants to gather all the best creators of neon.

   Of course, Tao Zhiming had to find two very good editorial teams for the light novel library and comic magazine.

  …

   "Has he really started to seriously manage that dimensional culture?"

  In the car, Iwasaki Ryunosuke was holding a flyer for the recruitment of creators of dimensional culture, and looked at it seriously.

"Yes!" Seriously replied his staff, Yamamoto Shirojo, "Since he returned to Tokyo, he has basically stayed in that building. Even though JUNIANA\'STOKYO has made a splash recently, he has not done anything through WanderDance. response."

   "Love, dreams, youth... What is he going to do?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke put down the flyer, closed his eyes and thought quietly.

   The cry of my brother before his death still echoed in his dreams from time to time.

  【Ryunosuke, remember your words and guard! Attack, be careful! 】

   "Forget it." Iwasaki Ryunosuke slowly opened his eyes, "Just keep watching."

  Yamoto Shirojo nodded knowingly, and then asked, "Iwasaki-sama, do you really want to sell that mansion to the Akayan family?"

   "Then what can be done?" Iwasaki Ryunosuke said calmly, "To protect the family, of course, you have to show enough posture."

   "But you've given up enough..."

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled and shook his head: "It's not enough. To keep those core shares, necessary exchanges are needed."

   Yamamoto Frost Castle was a little sad, and said softly: "It's really hard for you."

"I can't say that either." Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked out of the car window, "Compared with ten years ago, even if it shrinks back so much now, the Iwasaki family's strength is still stronger. This is all... brother's. credit."

   Yamamoto Frostaka was silent and did not speak.

"Shuangcheng, don't act rashly." Iwasaki Ryunosuke glanced back at him, "That's a really powerful enemy, one-shot kills. I can't make the Yantian family and the Takehara family feel dangerous at a moment like this, and they will retaliate if they are angry. No matter what the purpose of Tao Dalang's current actions, he ultimately wants to become a powerful and great figure. One day, his existence will touch the core interests of other families. It's a different situation."

"I understand."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke nodded: "I'm still young, you are younger. Put your eyes on the next generation after ten years. I hope Tao Dalang can develop smoothly and become a real chess player. Wait until he When the territory under his command is larger and the troops are numerous, there will inevitably be many flaws, and a long line of defense must be defended."

   The car drove all the way to the mansion where Iwasaki Kuranosuke lived, and a luxurious black car was parked at the door.

   Yamamoto Shirojo got out of the car and opened the car door for him. After Iwasaki Ryunosuke got down, he looked up.

   Then, he silently walked into the courtyard gate.

  In the room, a slender old man was looking at the house, turned around after hearing the footsteps, and greeted with a smile: "Iwasaki-kun!"

   "Akayan-san, are you satisfied?"

   Chiyan Xinshui, the contemporary owner of the Chiyan family, another core family of Mitsubishi, nodded: "I didn't expect Iwasaki-kun to be willing to sell this mansion with a long history."

Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked at the house with nostalgic eyes: "At that time, I was also born and raised in this place. The family was unfortunate, and Kuranosuke put me in this situation. It is necessary to raise enough funds to make up for the losses caused before. There isn't much else to do."

   Chiyan Xinshui was silent for a while, then said, "Aren't you going to take revenge on that kid?"

"Forgive me." Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled wryly, "Although Kuranosuke did something wrong, in the eyes of my incompetent younger brother, I admired his talent since childhood. Even he was defeated. I really can’t deal with the opponent who comes. Besides, to protect the Iwasaki family, I already need to do my best.”

   Chiyan Xinshui was a little dissatisfied, frowning and said: "Iwasaki-kun, as the head of the dignified Iwasaki family, how can a man in our Great Neon Empire be so depressed!"

   "You taught me a lesson." Iwasaki Ryunosuke bowed solemnly, "But, I don't want to bring more trouble to the family."

Chiyan Xinshui sat on the sofa that Iwasaki Zanosuke used to like to sit on, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I heard that kid talking eloquently that day, sarcastically sarcastic Zangnosuke, who is also the owner of the dignified family. They are a little angry. The mere low-ranking people are so complacent! Especially, as the descendant of the laborers of the Xia country, they have such a domineering attitude. Ueda Masahiro is ashamed of being a Chinese, and to cooperate with him is to lose the right to be a samurai. National Loyalty!"

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke didn't speak, and sat quietly on the other side, like a child obediently obeying his elders.

Chiyan Xinshui glanced at him, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, I know that you quoted such a price in the hope of getting the support of the Chiyan family. On the board of directors, I will speak out with justice. , you shouldn't have to bear it all the time. The Shiota family's appetite is too big now. This time it's not just the Iwasaki family who suffered losses. We Mitsubishi have been ridiculed by other guys for this! At this time, it is time to unite Externally. Although I have been guarding the heavy industry field, I will not let the guy who caused us such a loss to Mitsubishi! What about you? Avenging your brother is also a righteousness!"

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke was silent for a long time, but he still lowered his head and said, "I'm very sorry. Kuranosuke's warning to me is to protect me."

   Chiyan Xinshui's eyes showed a hint of reassurance and a hint of disdain: "Then let me do it. I will always do my best to deal with the enemy."

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke even persuaded: "Akayan-san, if it damages the interests of the entire Mitsubishi, will Shiota-san be dissatisfied?"

"Why is it harming the interests of Mitsubishi?" Chiyan Xinshui sneered, "That kid is right, Kuranosuke has been successful for too many years, so he despised him. But I regard him as a real enemy, this In this case, with the strength of my Chiyan family, it is enough to defeat him head-on."

"Akayan-san, please be careful anyway." Iwasaki Ryunosuke looked thoughtful for him, "The opponent is actually Sumitomo and Mitsui who joined forces, and Tao Dalang's talent is very useful to them. This kind of thing, It can easily turn into a fight between everyone. After all, everyone is the backbone of the neon economy.”

"Don't worry." Chiyan Xinshui shook her head confidently, "If there is an upright business competition, how could it turn into a battle between our consortiums? If Tao Dalang's talent shows its true colors in this competition, he is at the end of the road. In the end, it will only prove that Kuranosuke underestimated him last time and ignored Ueda Masahiro's backstab. What's more, who made Tao Dalang choose a field where his opponent is already very strong?"

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke was stunned: "What field?"

"Don't even pay attention?" Chiyan Xinshui looked at him helplessly, and then said, "That guy is going to attack the publishing industry, and he chose the most profitable comics right now. But, regardless of whether it is a bridge from the Xiangga family, Or the Otowa of the Noma family, or the Kadokawa family, which one is not already strong? Confidence has begun to expand, and it is through this industry that it is time to let him know that he is only a little smart! Just wait and see, I have already shot!"

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled wryly: "I don't know anything about this industry. Akayan-san, do you also understand manga?"

"So Iwasaki-kun, you and I are both the heads of the family. I don't understand, is it important?" Chiyan Xinshui didn't care, "As long as someone who understands will do the work. It just so happens that my grandson understands and likes it very much. ."

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment: "That fire in Jiangyangshui?"

   Chiyan Xinshui's face sank immediately: "Chiyan Yangshui! That kid, that's just not obedient! How can you turn your back on the family's surname just because you like it!"

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled: "Yangshui really understands and is always watching. So, you don't plan to let him follow in his father's footsteps and go to the factory to train?"

   "Where I let him go, he has to go!" Chiyan Xinshui said domineeringly, and laughed, "Since Iwasaki-kun has no intention of taking revenge, then let's sign a transfer agreement."

  Iwasaki Ryunosuke is also very happy.

  Is there anyone who can't wait to make a move and want to expand their influence in the name of revenge for Mitsubishi?

   Then it couldn't be better.

   He thought Chiyan Xinshui would have a big somersault.
