Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 403 The Prime Minister's Invitation

   Evening news broadcast the picture of the election of the president above the Hibiya Music Hall.

  The newly elected president Takegami took a group photo with Miyazawa Kiji and the others, but apparently only his smile was real.

Next to the TV set in the restaurant, Tatsuo Nojima and Zenwei Ansai looked at each other and said, "A new era has begun."

   "Material abundance, spiritual enrichment, and multiplied fun..." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Master Takegami wants to revitalize the local economy and expand domestic demand, and the idea of ​​the hometown of the archipelago should be beneficial to everyone."

   He is the one who has the support of the big financial groups. At the moment when the neon export is affected by the appreciation of the exchange rate, including the insistence on tax reform, it is beneficial for the big financial groups.

   After all, the so-called consumption tax is to kill the poor and help the rich.

  Nojima Tatsuo shook his head: "I just hope that Takegami-sama can help mediate the tension between the United States and the United States due to the semiconductor time and the Toshiba incident as soon as possible."

  Anzhai Shanwei asked tentatively: "The current sanctions plan, is the lobbying fruitless?"

"In the past two or three months, the cabinet has been concerned about the next prime minister. How effective can the lobbying of our Mitsui and the Semiconductor Association be?" Nojima Tatsuo was helpless, "Don't talk about these annoying things. It's over. Tao Jun, you suddenly invited us to sit together, wouldn't you have suffered heavy losses in the previous stock market crash?"

"How could that be?" Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "I earned it. So, let's give some great gifts to the newly appointed Lord Takegami. I have prepared the plan of the deputy capital, the trust charity fund, and the yacht home port. It’s good to invest more.”

   "Oh?" Nojima Tatsuo's eyes lit up, "How much did you earn?"

Tao Zhiming didn't know who the leading party and the wall-riding faction were in the consortium that Tao Yaren and the others attracted. Anyway, it was determined that they would give a wrong impression to those people: Tao Zhiming used to invest with confidence, draw close to the consortium, and Suzuki Junji Hashimoto Taro. The funds for the relationships of these political figures all came from loans from the Tao family.

   So he said boldly: "Nearly 1 billion yuan!"

   "So much?!" Nojima Tatsuo was shocked, "This is really..."

   He looked at Tao Zhiming with a complicated expression. Many people jumped off the building. You deserve a credit, right?

"This time, I mainly earned it from the United States and Xiangdao." Tao Zhiming said nonsense, "I also took the opportunity to win a good piece of land in Xiangdao. Nojima-san, Toshiba's investment in semiconductors cannot be because of this. Losing the future. This time involves a relatively large investment, I plan to personally give 100 million yuan, and then the Sanyou Investment Bank will provide 50 million yuan to invest in a chip foundry in Xiangdao.”

   "Foundry?" Nojima Tatsuo was stunned, "Only responsible for processing?"

"Yes. Neon's semiconductor industry is under pressure now, but its R&D capabilities are still among the top in the world. Among many countermeasures, expanding overseas production and rationally laying out the industrial chain are also very important. I hope to make up for this foundry. Neon Semiconductor's inadequacies in CPU, do not go to the advantage of DRAM. Of course, you can also try the field of flash memory, I heard that Toshiba's research institute has now proposed a new concept about NAND."

  Nojima Tatsuo looked at him strangely: "You have so many fields of interest and research..."

  What NAND, he knows no shit, Tatsuo Nojima, listening to Tao Zhiming say this, even a little ignorant.

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "Technology and culture, as the president of Sanyou Bank, of course I have to do some work for everyone. All in all, I hope to do this and get the cooperation support of Toshiba and NEC in the research and development of semiconductor chips. ."

   In the current neon semiconductor industry, NEC, a subsidiary of Sumitomo, is the leader, and Toshiba, a subsidiary of Mitsui, is the second.

   And the main channel of competition between the United States and Neon is on DRAM. Intel only made a "painful choice" two years ago, betting on the future of personal computers and transferring its main business from the breathless DRAM suppressed by neon to the CPU.

  In the early days of the semiconductor industry, because personal computers had not yet appeared, DRAM was a more suitable product for the needs of that era. They only need to work according to a set integrated circuit based on a specific application scenario, and do not need to undertake more complex and flexible requirements, such as what TV sets, radios, stereos...

   But after the advent of personal computers, the computing needs have become more complex, and the CPU is more promising. However, at this time, most of the semiconductor manufacturers are still fighting in the DRAM industry with wider application scenarios. Intel, the former absolute overlord of the DRAM industry, got on IBM's thigh after being killed by neon manufacturers, and decided to start all over again and enter the CPU field with a higher technical threshold.

Tao Zhiming expressed this wish to Anzhai Shanwei and Nojima Tatsuo, Anzhai Shanwei asked: "Your friend Sun Jun has a good cooperation with NEC in personal computers. Do you think the prospect of CPU is better than that of NEC? Is DRAM even better?"

"No matter what the future of personal computers is, it's always good to bet more, and I'm willing to take this risk." Tao Zhiming said, looking at Tatsuo Nojima and saying, "I heard that the NAND project in Toshiba Semiconductor Research Institute, The R&D personnel are very marginal, and Toshiba is not willing to invest in this field. Regarding the R&D of CPU, NEC now has its own standards, as well as IBM's standards, and you can make more bets. The money is mainly invested by me, what do you think? ?"

  Nojima Tatsuo nodded: "I will go back and ask the board of directors to discuss this matter. Since you have made a lot of money now, we Mitsui encountered another difficult problem, but we can ask you for help."

   Tao Zhiming said in his heart, "Please speak."

Nojima Tatsuo really mentioned what Tao Yaren said, and said very depressedly: "It was also caused by the Toshiba incident. The United States is dissatisfied with the right to speak in the Neon Economic News Agency, and thinks that we manipulate the media. Excessive influence on economic news requires us to dilute our shares in Neon Economic News and make the board of Neon Economic News more open."

He glanced at Anzhai Shanwei, and then said: "Tao Jun, you are already a part of Sumitomo's core company through Sanyou Bank and the most recent future. On our side of Mitsui, let's get closer. Sanyou. The investment bank has already invested in TV Tokyo before, and now, through your BRAVOPEACH or Dimensional Culture, you will hold a part of the shares of Neon Economic News and TV Tokyo. Of course, you need to support us in TV Tokyo in some way. and the opinions of the board of directors of the Neon Economic News Agency.”

  Tao Zhiming was speechless: "It's really overbearing...Is it all to this extent?"

"Sir Takegami is already planning a visit to the United States. In the past, if we were to mediate the relationship between the two countries, the handling of the Toshiba incident was a key point. For these requirements, at least the formalities must be met. Although you have already contacted us with Mitsui through Sanyou Bank. There is a cooperative relationship, but I believe that with the value of Hashimoto-san and Governor Suzuki, Lord Takegami will try his best to convince the United States to accept our optimal plan."

   Under the package plan in the center of Tokyo, Tao Zhiming has been regarded as a newcomer by Sumitomo and Mitsui Consortium.

  Tao Zhiming was silent for a while, and then asked: "Big Brother Nojima, you should know that since the Tao family found me, they have also tried to put pressure on me. Will this matter be hindered by them?"

  Nojima Tatsuo clearly showed a disdainful expression: "They are just doing something in Neon on behalf of the people behind them. As long as Takegami-sama and the US leader have negotiated a solution, how can they stop it?"

  Tao Zhiming nodded slightly. It seemed that Tatsuo Nojima took the initiative to bring up this matter. It seemed that the faction he followed was not the one that the Tao family attracted within Mitsui.

   That's right, Tatsuo Nojima is now at the helm of Mitsui's faction. Mitsui is now being targeted in various ways, of course he is dissatisfied with his faction.

   "How much money do I need to prepare?" Tao Zhiming asked simply.

  The Tao family lent him 1.2 billion yuan, except for the extra 200 million to help him lay out in Xiangdao, and the remaining 1 billion mainly to promote the plan of Tokyo's sub-city center.

   There is also a part used for him to cooperate with the Tao family to encircle and suppress the Neon Economic News Agency.

"It will be arranged that you will hold about 3% to 5% of the shares of Neon Economic News. As for the shares of TV Tokyo held by Sanyou Investment Bank, because Mitsui has a share in Sanyou, Sanyou holds shares of TV Tokyo. , 5% to 7% will also be transferred to your side. Anzai-kun, this point needs Sumitomo's opinion."

   "Don't worry Nojima-kun, NEC is also in the Semiconductor Association. The president has already told me about this."

  Nojima Tatsuo nodded, and then said to Tao Zhiming: "It will probably cost 24 to 30 billion yen, is it okay?"

   Tao Zhiming nodded affirmatively: "It's less than 200 million yuan, no problem."

"Then, I'm looking forward to the good news that Takegami-sama brings back." Nojima Tatsuo turned his neck wearily, "Tao Jun, you made a lot of money, I'll let you entertain you today, can you relax? "

   "Of course." Tao Zhiming said with a grin, "Then let's go to WanderKTV. I know, you guys still prefer WanderDance there."

  Nojima Tatsuo was happy: "WanderDance is a place that young people prefer. We are old and can't dance anymore."

   Tao Zhiming smiled knowingly.

It's not because WanderKTV is run by your old lover, and it is now called a mass-selling KTV, but in this flashy era, so many new technologies are used, and they sell good wine, so you can afford this kind of KTV. Yes, it is still dominated by successful people.

  In that special box, this KTV, under the management of his old lover Irie Kotoko, combined with the neon-developed custom industry, is no different from the clubhouse.

  In the era when money blinded the eyes, there are countless girls who hope to have more material enjoyment!

  …

  Tao Zhiming returned to the club building from WanderKTV and noticed that the studio on the floor of WanderDance Sakai Springs was still lit, so he went to take a look.

  I saw Sakai Izumi wearing headphones, nodding his head rhythmically, while holding a pen and sketching something on paper from time to time.

   He smiled and leaned against the door, watching her work.

   After a while, Izumi Sakai noticed something, and when he looked back, he took off his headphones in surprise.

   "Why didn't you just go home?"

   "...I got some inspiration during the performance, so come over and rewrite the lyrics of this song..."

   In the late-night studio, there were no other colleagues here, and Sakai Quanshui was a little flustered when he saw Tao Zhiming approach slowly.

   "Let me see." Tao Zhiming stretched his head over to see the lyrics she re-edited.

   Sakai Izumi sat on the chair and stepped aside, and smelled the alcohol on his body.

   So she held her breath.

   "Try to sing it?" Tao Zhiming pulled the chair next to him and sat down after reading it.

"now?"

   "Then what do you say?"

   Sakai Izumi is purely because he feels a little ashamed, if he sings to him alone...

   However, it was rare for him to have time to participate in the preparation of this solo album, and Sakai Izumi immediately adjusted his state and began to sing.

  But this time, the president did not listen with his eyes closed as usual, and then raised some opinions.

   He kept looking at himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

   Sakai Quanshui was distracted, so he felt that his performance was not very good, and smiled embarrassedly: "I need to familiarize myself with it a few more times... Is there anything I need to modify?"

  Tao Zhiming smiled and shook his head: "It's very good, I wrote it at the moment of inspiration, it is indeed better than before. Spring water, have a little more confidence in yourself."

"I see…"

  Tao Zhiming patted the chair and stood up: "It's so late, how can I go back alone? By the way, Rie is over there with the crew. You live alone now, are you okay?"

   "...Very good." Sakai Izumi stood up and squeezed his hands, "It's not too far, I..."

  Tao Zhiming waved his hand: "I'm going to release a solo album. I'll ask Qiu Yuan-jun to arrange an assistant for you tomorrow. Now I'll ask Minfu to take you back."

   "Thank you, President..."

"Really, when will you become an adult and you will grow up to be called like that." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Forget it, I don't blame you. It's just that I knew you like a new friend. At that time you were very defensive about my appearance, and thought it was more interesting at that time."

   Sakai Quan Shui was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

   What is your status now? All of a sudden what is this...

   Entered WanderDance and signed a contract with WanderStar. Sakai Izumi has been working here for more than a year.

   This is the first time Tao Zhiming mentioned that time to her.

   Sakai Quan Shui is now more familiar with him after all, so he mustered up the courage to ask: "Why did you think I could..."

   When it comes to the back, the voice is quieter. After all, he is very clear in his heart. Even if he heard himself sing a few words during his interview, the state of his singing at that time was much worse than now.

   After entering WanderDance, after all, he has been taught by the music teacher hired by the club, and his professional and skills have improved a lot, only then did he realize how young he was at the beginning.

  Tao Zhiming saw that she regretted asking these words, smiled and blinked: "Guess?"

   left after saying that.

   Sakai Izumi pursed his mouth speechlessly.

   Guess what! Guess the hell!

   Honestly, the current situation is quite weird! In the club, from President Akimoto to the former President Origuchi, or Minister Irie, Minister Nakamura, and even Asuka, they all respect themselves a little too much!

   After all, it’s not that he feels that he is the first person to make a solo album by himself. It's not at all because of expectations for my music career, it's because of something else!

   Also guess...

   Sakai Izumi also knew that his attitude towards himself was the most casual, unlike Asuka and the others who would put on the air of the president.

   It is this randomness that always leads to misunderstandings.

   At this time, Tao Zhiming nodded again and came back: "I suddenly have inspiration, you can change the lyrics again, this melody is more suitable for this song!"

   He seemed to get excited and sang with the lyrics.

At the beginning, like before, "Dangdang Dangdang Get" hummed the melody, and then sang the lyrics she wrote now.

   When he sang the chorus, he suddenly broke his voice, and Sakai Quanshui suddenly burst into laughter, and then quickly covered his mouth: "I'm sorry..."

  Tao Zhiming glared at her, and simply called Qiu Yuanyao and Nakamura Keiji.

   "I thought of a good song from the Springs album and came to the club."

   After shouting, he waved his hand: "I'm just demonstrating the tone that suits you! This song is very suitable for you, but not for me! Don't underestimate me!"

"…how come."

   "Actually there is a song that I sing very well! I will sing it to you!"

  Izumi Sakai felt that he was a little drunk, because he didn't seem to be really willing to be underestimated by himself, and sang: "Like a fool, as innocent as a child, and bruised and bruised for chasing dreams..."

   The voice is deep and thick, which is really nice. I just don't know why he laughed first when he sang the "No, no, this can't work" part.

"Stop playing, let's talk about this song first." Tao Zhiming suddenly remembered the ending song "SINCERELY~everdream~" in "Soul of Chess", because this version of the lyrics rewritten by Sakai Quanshui also has some original lyrics a feeling of.

  Tao Zhiming discussed with her his revised opinion: "Don't write it as a miss for a lover, you have never been in a relationship, so it looks weird now. It's better to write it as friendship, an encouragement to separated friends..."

   While talking, Tao Zhiming's expression suddenly froze, and then he looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you want to write your thoughts about your lover? Are you in love?"

   Sakai Quanshui was too embarrassed: "Love songs are very popular! I always have to try to write them!"

   "No...Although you wrote about your feelings after separation, it looks like a secret love you haven't told yet..."

   "...then I'll revise it."

   "Who do you have a crush on? Isn't it Omimi-go?"

   "Master President!" Sakai Izumi couldn't take it anymore.

   Tao Zhiming looked at her dodging eyes and slightly red ears in surprise, and blinked.

   So he said solemnly: "You look me in the eyes, I will sing that song again!"

  "...I can't even say 'I love you', it's useless to be clumsy..."

   Listening to these lyrics, Izumi Sakai, who pretended to be calm, couldn't stand it again, and his eyes fluttered in defeat.

   Just as Tao Zhiming's cell phone rang, Sakai Quanshui lowered his head, feeling that he was looking at himself with strange eyes, and then heard him say, "Brother Nojima, what's wrong?"

  The song he sang on purpose just now, Sakai Quanshui heard the voice on the phone: "Dalang, now, come over immediately, Prime Minister Takegami is waiting for you."

   Sakai Quan Shui was shocked and looked up at him in disbelief.

   I saw him also stunned: "Lord Takegami? Now?"

   Make up for yesterday's update.
