Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 442 How much influence can a movie have?

  It wasn't just Tao Zhiming who disappeared from Tokyo for such a long time. It's not that nobody knew about it. After all, Sawaguchi Yasuko was such a popular living person.

   Besides, she signed a contract in Dongbao, and she has been away for so long, she always needs an explanation.

   This statement is known to Sawaguchi Yasuko's manager and Toho's executives.

  Toho entered the film industry based on the Takarazuka Theater, and its full name is Tokyo Takarazuka. When Fuji TV opened, Dongbao was also one of the main initiators.

  Is it strong? Of course strong. Operating for more than half a century, the root system is intricate.

   But who is Tao Zhiming? The more senior Dongbao is, the more they know, the less they will say anything first.

   Even if I want to confirm the situation now, I have to wait for Tao Zhiming to meet with other more important people.

  But Sawaguchi Yasuko is back after all, so you can ask her first.

   "Jingzi, you said that because you performed very well in "My Love From the Star", you want to create a special movie script for you?"

   For this matter, people who didn't need to come forward have come now. Sawaguchi Yasuko looked at Toho President Yuji Oda and Chairman Nishino Masahiko in front of him, and bowed his head and said, "Yes."

   "Then you were with him all these days?"

   "Yes." Sawaguchi Yasuko remembered Tao Zhiming's instructions, and she didn't say much.

   "What kind of movie is it?"

  Sawaguchi Yasukiko shook his head: "President Tao said that this movie probably needs to ask Uno-sama's opinion. If it can't get support, I'm afraid it will be stranded."

  Ota Yuji and Nishino Masahiko looked at each other, how come Prime Minister Uno is still involved?

   Nishino Masahiko looked at her, and finally asked: "Then, your personal relationship with President Tao...Miss Sawaguchi, this is very important to the club, please tell the truth."

Yasuko Sawaguchi raised his head, looked directly at the two, and then smiled and said: "Because of the special meaning that this film needs to carry, if it can be filmed and released, I will not marry for the rest of my life. This is my decision. !"

   Ota Yuji and Nishino Masahiko were speechless.

   What kind of movie is this, and how big is the impact?

   Just then, an urgent voice came from outside the door: "Sorry! There is important urgent news!"

  …

   "…the responsibility for the failure rests with me. I have made up my mind to resign as Prime Minister and President…"

   Watching the live broadcast, Uno Zongyou, who was in tears and could only keep bowing to the reporters' questions, Tao Zhiming shook his head and said, "It's only two months..."

The Taoya man opposite    looked at him strangely: "You actually went on vacation at such a critical moment?"

   "Otherwise, what should I do?" Tao Zhiming said eloquently, "They all know the strength of the Tao family in the neon media world, and they always hope that I can do something to help. I am in a dilemma, and of course I have to run away!"

  Tao Yaren smiled: "Yes, in fact, they probably know the reason. So what are you going to do when meeting you tonight?"

   "I'm just entertaining, what can I do?" Tao Zhiming was noncommittal, "It's about the Neon Economic News Agency and TV Tokyo, because of the proposal of the Sanyou Foundation plan, what do you guys think now?"

   For the United States, at that time, a new order was built for neon, focusing on the opposition to Hongsu. Hence the deepest roots in the media field are Yomiuri and Daily. But now the times have changed, financial capital has overtaken industrial capital, the big ship of globalization has started, and the Neon Economic News Agency has become a new target that must be controlled.

  Taoya looked at him deeply: "What matters now is your position."

"My position is balance." Tao Zhiming's expression was polite, with a smile on his face, "I'm worried that the shares I will hold will not support some of your needs? Therefore, in the Sanyou Consortium, everyone is a benefit. Community. As long as it is beneficial to me, why would I not support it? Don’t worry, I agree with you on the issue of global layout and benefiting from global capital flows.”

Tao Yaren looked at him, thinking about the strategy suggested by Li Jiacheng, and smiled: "That's right. Next, they should make every effort to prepare for the offense and defense of the House of Representatives in three years. If they lose half of the House of Representatives If you have a seat, the opposition party will come to power. Dalang, you should know that if the consortium still controls the neon economy so firmly, your ceiling in neon will only be so high.”

Tao Zhiming raised the wine glass with a smile: "So you have to help me. I don't care about the next step to improve the voice over the phone through the Sanyou Foundation, now I have a little more advanced idea, first through TV Tokyo Let's hold a small share of each other with Dongbao. Then, find a way to take advantage of the changes in the stock market to become Dongbao's major shareholder! Your 300 million yuan should also be involved in this matter."

   "How to do it?" Tao Yaren's eyes moved.

   "Toho's head office is in Osaka, and the Kansai side has enough fulcrums in this plan."

  Tao Zhiming said, Tao Ya people understood that the First Quanye Bank and Industrial Bank over there were the hardest hit areas.

"And then there is Hankyu Electric Railway, which is one of Kansai's largest private railways and the founding foundation of Toho." Tao Zhiming's eyes were bright, "Hankyu Electric Railway also deeply participated in the listing of the National Railway West Neon. Although It is a big-handed private railway, but they have not been able to enter the core information circle, and this time they will suffer a big somersault. Each company has some scattered shares in Hankyu Electric Railway, and these can be used as transaction targets at that time. "

  The so-called big-handed private railways refer to other private companies operating railway business outside the original national railway system, and they are among the better developed. Although these big-handed private irons basically have some shares of large consortiums, they can only be regarded as the second-level goods in the neon economic structure. Although it is also a giant, it is not enough to be called a giant like a consortium.

   is like the Hankyu Electric Railway. After the development at that time, the Takarazuka Theater was established first, and then Toho, a movie giant, was developed.

   However, now, this club has been plotted by Tao Zhiming as a piece of meat with a clear goal. Although there is a little Sawaguchi Yasuko's factor here, it is more helpful to Tao Zhiming's future grand strategy.

  Tao Zhiming was talking about how to create momentum, so that more capital would be optimistic about Hankyu Electric Railway and Toho, and then harvest it at a low price after the stock market fell. When the other three consortiums are ready, they will be able to give up their scattered shares in Hankyu Electric Railway and Toho. In this way, through secret out-of-market transactions and the secondary market, coupled with the official invitation to Hankyu Electric Railway, which is in crisis, should the parent company of Dongbao maintain the basic market or give up Dongbao?

   "Why do you want to take Dongbao first?" Tao Yaren looked at Tao Zhiming and asked sharply.

Tao Zhi Numerology answered as a matter of course: "Does it need to be said? Dongbao now has many cinemas, as well as many works and production resources for movies and TV series, as well as a large number of well-known actors. Have you forgotten your mission? In the future of Neon, we want to deeply influence the thinking of the next generation through entertainment and culture. It is too rude to rely on the pressure exerted by advertisers like Dentsu. Hollywood's content culture offensive is worth learning from. I established Pantao Films and the construction of a film and television city on Xiangdao are all preparations for these things!"

  Tao Yaren felt a string of things he did, and nodded unconsciously.

  Dimensional culture is through books, magazines and comics, animation, WanderStar is through music, Peach Movie is through movies and TV series. It seems that what he said about the Sanyou Consortium will be based on technology and culture, which is indeed not a casual statement.

   "So how to create momentum?" Tao Yaren asked about the operational level.

  Tao Zhiming smiled slightly: "I planned a good movie!"

  …

  The bigwigs gathered again, Miyazawa Kiji looked at Uno Zongyou, whose face was gray and defeated, and seemed to be many years older in a short period of time, and his heart was momentarily concerned.

   The same is a fallen person from the end of the world, and he is much worse than himself.

  For people like them, it is more humiliating to be exposed than this kind of peach scandal.

   Uno Souchi is now completely socially dead, and has been relegated to scum by countless women. Not only is it impossible to want to be a political figure, but he is simply not worthy of being an ordinary man.

   "Now, there are still three years! In three years, we must restore the confidence of the people in us." Abe Taro seems to feel that his health is much better, and his voice is much louder.

Nakagen Yasuhiro glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "To restore the confidence of the people in us, we need a person who not only has to stand the test of his own image, but also has enough courage and courage to solve the problem of the current situation. some important questions."

Takeshita, who had retired from the front desk, looked at Taro Hashimoto, and said quietly: "I recommend Hashimoto-san to clean up the situation. Hashimoto-san's father is known as being strong and honest; if Hashimoto-san comes forward, he will Awaken the people's memory of the handsome young man who stepped into politics at the age of 26. He has a wealth of experience at the age of 52. He is praised for his knowledge of economics and policy, and his shrewdness in kendo. Hashimoto-san can represent our determination to reform. Attitude!"

Taro Hashimoto was taken aback, remembering what Tao Zhiming had hinted to him, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I have an inescapable responsibility as the secretary-general for losing this election. Besides, the Ministry of Finance has just undergone changes, I The situation has just been roughly grasped. The election of the central bank governor is imminent, and there can be no major problems in the economy. Therefore, please allow me to resign. Now is the time for everyone to make concerted efforts. Please let me help the new president in the economic aspect. !"

   His modest speech made him appear righteous and responsible, and he really brushed the impression on the hearts of these old guys.

Jin Xinmaru said approvingly: "Everyone needs to have the ability of Hashimoto-san. Regarding the candidate for the new president, this time, we can no longer quarrel for the self-interest of the faction. If the House of Representatives re-election after three years is still defeated. , those guys will definitely form a coalition cabinet, trying to form a formal bipartisan situation! In order not to have such a terrible future, put aside the small calculations of those factions in your heart and elect the most suitable person! Abe-san, what do you think? ?"

  Abe Taro has just been scolded by Nakagen Yasuhiro, and now facing the question of the leader of the largest faction, how can Taiyi refute at present?

   "Kawamoto-san, I think the Miki School, which was called the green Miki back then, is also very helpful to the current situation. Are you willing to take on this important responsibility?"

  Kin Shinmaru asked about the weakest of the five factions, the original Miki faction, who is now known as the leader of the Kawamoto faction, Kawamoto Toshi.

I saw him smiling: "I'm too old. Mr. Miki also took over after a big scandal, but he stepped down because his focus on purifying the political world and managing corruption harmed everyone's interests. After the Rikulut incident appeared , Miki-sama happened to pass away at the end of last year, which really reminds many people of what he did in those years."

   shutting the door, he said this now directly. The others were embarrassed, but couldn't say anything.

Among the current major factions, Miyazawa Kiji of the Hongchi Society was the first to resign as Minister of the Great Tibet because of the Rikulut incident. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to come forward again; the same is true of Takegami of the Jingshi Society; Zhishuai Uno Zongyou, who was launched by Yasuhiro Nakagen, fell into such a situation in just two months.

  The remaining two factions are only Abe Taro of the Qinghe Society, and Toshi Kawamoto of the original Miki faction.

   But these two people are already very old and their health is not very good.

Kawamoto's old eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said coldly: "There will always be people whose image can stand the test. However, Hashimoto-san is right, the focus now is on the economy! Finance and real estate are two fields. How do you curb the frenzy now? Or, just listen carefully to the advice of the guys in the central bank and start taking the initiative to break this situation? How many people’s interests are involved?”

  The room was silent and extremely depressed.

Kawamoto Min continued: "If you still can't come up with an effective solution, wait until three years later when a huge problem breaks out, then no one can change the situation of losing the election! If you want to come up with an effective solution, then the so-called concerted effort, You can't just talk about it! In this process, there will be blood!"

After everyone was silent for a long time, Tada Takegami said: "The plan to integrate into the four major financial groups, and then cooperate with them to revive the economy and carry out transformation plans, if they can all be effectively implemented, it can become an effective method. key piece."

"This link also requires the full cooperation of the central bank. Hashimoto-san, that fellow Mie Nofu, will not support our 'financial soundness' policy, right? He will not agree to continue to further concentrate the important lifeline of the economy. into fewer consortia, reducing the dynamism of the economy.”

   Hashimoto Taro was silent.

When the economy is good, we hope to repay previous debts by raising taxes, and at the same time, we hope to stimulate the economy and reduce government spending by making social capital more active and investing instead of public funds. This is the "fiscal consolidation" policy advocated by the government. .

   However, some people from the central bank, led by Mie Yefu, believe that the central bank is the "gatekeeper of the currency" and serves all the neon citizens. The continuous appreciation of the exchange rate of the neon yen has greatly affected the neon manufacturing industry, which in turn affects the income of many people. He even violated the requirements of the Ministry of Tibet three years ago, secretly operating to snipe the continuous appreciation of the neon yen, and always criticized the risk of the current "bubble".

Miyazawa Kiji, who rarely speaks, said: "When I was the Minister of Tibet, I told him: 'The interest rate policy is not the exclusive responsibility of Neon Bank, and it must be communicated effectively with the Ministry of Finance'. Now he is in Speaking of raising interest rates, it can be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation. The question now is not just how to improve the internal economy of Neon, he still understands this situation.”

   Hashimoto Taro nodded in agreement: "Mie Ye-kun is more convinced of Miyazawa-san."

   This sentence made Miyazawa Kiero very ironic, and it has not been so cool for a long time.

   "Let's talk about the candidate for the new president." Toshi Kawamoto said noncommittally, "If you want us to come out with a lighter faction to clean up the situation, then I recommend Kaibu-kun."

   "Minister of the Ministry of Education...Aibu-kun?" Jin Xinmaru's heart moved, "He was married by the matchmaker of Miki-sama. He is 58 years old, which is a very appropriate age. He is known for his integrity and has a good image..."

   The nominated Kaibe Shun was not even present at the moment.

   Kawamoto Toshi said: "If Kaibe-kun is to come forward, everyone must work together to support him! Especially Hashimoto-san, now the economy has come to a time when we have to come up with countermeasures!"

   Hashimoto Taro nodded, and when he looked at other people with different expressions out of the corner of his eyes, he secretly mourned for Toshi Kaibe.

   Now the problem of neon economy, whoever comes forward to solve it is equivalent to the person who detonated the bomb, and the danger can be imagined.

   This is almost a doomed term, and the question now is just, can his actions keep the House of Representatives re-election three years later?

  Thinking of this, Taro Hashimoto said: "Speaking of, apart from the economy, that Tao Dalang suggested to me an idea for improving the people's view of us."

   "Oh?" Takegami asked with interest, "What is it?"

   "A movie." Taro Hashimoto bowed to Sou Uno first, "Offensive, Uno-san, this movie is customized for the battles that those in the opposition party have set up against you."

   Uno Sect's right face changed, wouldn't he want to whip the corpse?

   "Let's talk." Abe Taro didn't think it was a big deal.

"It's a movie about geisha culture." Taro Hashimoto admired Tao Zhiming's analysis, and actually predicted that the small faction's Shun Kaibe would be the last to be elected, "For a long time, Ryo Tei politics has been said to be a nighttime parliament, in opposition Those people also often criticize this. Kaibe-san is known for his outstanding debate skills, and I suggest that now that everyone has reached an agreement, there may be a more transparent and open presidential campaign."

  Others wondered how the movie about geisha was related to the public campaign again.

   Hashimoto Taro continued: "This is a movie that reflects the fate of a geisha..."

He briefly described the main plot of the story, as well as some of the points that will impress others, and then said: "With the help of this film, the beauty of this group of geisha and the traditional cultural elements it possesses are shown, and people's awareness of this kind of The impression of culture will impress many citizens. If the Ministry of Culture can cooperate well at this time, so that everyone's attention can be focused on the sense of honor and identity brought by traditional culture. In fact, people are attracted by beautiful geisha, It is also human nature, and everyone will understand this feeling.”

Hashimoto Taro bowed to Uno Zongyou: "Uno-san, of course people will think of you through it. So you probably need to make a sincere apology, and from now on establish an image of protecting traditional culture and protecting the rights of performing women. At the same time, all of us will probably have to make a gesture to draw a clear line from the so-called "little booth" politics. In this case, it is also a manifestation of our determination to improve ourselves."

   "...to draw a clear line with the kiosk, this..." Naturally, these bigwigs felt embarrassed.

   Hashimoto Taro said with a smile: "If you want to talk about something in a secret and safer place, there is always a way."

Nakagen Yasuhiro looked at Uno Souchi, whose face changed, and said in a deep voice, "Uno-san, this proposal is a good one. Although it takes a lot of courage, if it can be done, it will be a day of change. "

  Uno Zongyou struggled in his heart, and after a long time he said, "Let me see this Tao Jun, and then make a decision!"

   said that he wanted to draw a clear line with the restaurant, but Tao Ranting had to welcome an extremely important guest tonight.

   Kono Miki stared at Tao Zhiming, thinking that she had heard it wrong: "Do you really want me to act in a movie?"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "Yes, together with Sayuri Yoshinaga and Yasuko Sawaguchi, let the world see the best and saddest side of geisha through their charm. Times have changed. Children are meant to be ambassadors for art, not playthings at the banquet."

   Kono Miki stayed there listening to these words, remembering the first time Kinoshita-sama took him to Suzakura Shrine.

   Later, the three of Xishui were taken by his side, and Suying Shrine became the Taoran Pavilion today, and everyone's life changed.

   Now, he brought up such an idea again.

  Tao Zhiming blinked: "I will definitely give Sister Meiji a very stunning look, fascinate Brother Xiufeng!"

   Miki Kono's eyes suddenly fogged, and she bent down: "I will try my best."
