MTL - Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era-Chapter 530 devil

   Chapter 530 The devil who plays with people's hearts

  Nobuhiko Horikawa was waiting here, of course, it was Tao Zhiming's call.

   This phone ring made Takagi Renhachi's heart rise to his throat, as if it was the moment of fate.

  Although he couldn't believe what Horikawa Nobuhiko would really do, Tao Zhiming wanted Horikawa Nobuhiko to die, what if this guy went crazy?

  Takagi Renhachi feels that Horikawa Nobuhiko has just judged the situation clearly, so what can he do as a traitor?

   After all, he is not like Tao Zhiming who can better grasp Horikawa Nobuhiko's psychology.

   At this time, Nobuhiko Horikawa was no more relaxed than him.

   Looking at the phone on the table, Nobuhiko Horikawa took a deep breath and ordered, "Answer the phone, President Takagi."

   "...Master President, I..."

   Horikawa Nobuhiko smiled: "Answer."

  The person with the gun is tall and hard, Takagi Renha gritted his teeth and picked up the phone tremblingly: "...Hello?"

   "Takagi-sang?" Tao Zhiming's voice on the phone was full of laughter, and he joked, "You are answering the phone from Horikawa-sang's office, is he busy?"

  Takagi Renhachi didn't dare to explain that he was being gestured with a gun, but just handed the phone over: "Mr. President...it's President Tao."

   "I've said it all, now you are the president." Nobuhiko Horikawa said something before taking the phone and saying, "President Tao, it's been a long wait."

   "Horikawa-sang, why should you scare Takagi-sang?" Tao Zhiming seemed to have seen the situation in the room, "This is not a measure of the subordinates."

  Nobuhiko Horikawa was silent for a long time, wondering if he meant his righteous brother Haruno Takizo, who was abandoned and dealt with by him.

   Now I can only plan from the worst case, the worst case is that I am actually transparent in front of him.

So he asked sincerely: "President Tao, I don't know what decision you made after you communicated with other people? Now everyone in the First Quanye Bank is very much looking forward to your coming to serve as the chairman and help each other in the same boat. I I also sincerely admire the talent of President Tao!"

   In words, he has begun to address "you" respectfully.

   But Takagi Renhachi was still unmoved.

"Horikawa-sang, I feel the same way. As expected of Horikawa-sang!" Tao Zhiming exclaimed, and then said, "It's too disgraceful for me to be the president, after all, I'm against No. 1. The inside of the consortium knows nothing. But since it is only in the name of digesting your bad debts, it is better to inject some funds into the First Quanye Trust Bank through my Zhiming Trust and become a shareholder."

  Nobuhiko Horikawa's mind was spinning at a high speed at this moment. This plan was the most friendly way in his expectation.

   Zhiming Trust injected capital into the First Quanye Trust Bank and became a shareholder. Tao Zhiming himself got some benefits.

   But before the First Quanye Bank Trust Bank officially holds the shares of the First Quanye Bank, Tao Zhiming will not become a shareholder of the First Quanye Consortium in advance, which will make other companies feel jealous.

   The principal of the Daiichi Kanye Trust Bank has expanded, which can absorb the larger-scale bad debts of the Daiichi Kanye Foundation, and it can also make the old guys like Itochu Kobei more dependent on him. At this time, he proposed to let them give up part of the shares, even if he and Takagi Renhachi first held it on behalf of other consortiums, the goal was initially achieved.

   Really have to rely on yourself? Really no scam?

Horikawa Nobuhiko couldn't believe it, and still insisted: "President Tao, now it's not published because of the secret investigation team and the investigation results against Fukumoto and others, Abe-san and the others are also vague about Itochu's head and others, it is they who are most afraid time. If you let them see that they have you as a new foreign aid, I am afraid they will become less worried and miss the best opportunity to negotiate.”

"Horikawa-sang, in their eyes, I should also be eager to have such an opportunity to become a shareholder of a large consortium, because I don't have much negotiating capital." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "So, being able to enter the first Quanye Trust Bank as a Shareholders, as for how many shares No. 1 Quanye Trust Bank can hold in the parent bank, it is up to you to fight for it. You see, didn’t the situation created earlier work?”

   Horikawa Nobuhiko gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what will be the direction of the investigation of the secret investigation team? What about Fukumoto and the others?"

Tao Zhiming just answered him meaningfully: "I will do my best to help you to build momentum. Director Banzawa, who is in charge of the investigation of Neon Bank, has been dismissed from his post and arranged to serve as a special director of the Financial Research Center established at the Gate of Heaven in Tibet. On the surface, it is a long-term plan, but the Tokyo District Attorney's Office will quickly launch an investigation into the seam on the tail."

   Horikawa Nobuhiko was shocked, does this mean that he must kill the chicken to warn the monkey?

   But the seam on the tail is more involved, isn't it Furong and Sanhe? Build momentum for your next annexation plan?

   Interests come first, why are Itochu Kobei and the others willing to make concessions?

So I listened to Tao Zhiming and continued: "As for Fukumoto-sang... Horikawa-sang, through him, President Tei used art to bribe the directors of your No. 1 Prosperity Foundation, and obtained huge loans by falsifying accounts. The incident will also be exposed when the investigation of the seam on the tail spreads to Chairman Embankment."

The    plan was so detailed that Nobuhiko Horikawa almost believed he was really just doing it for profit.

   But how dare you believe that unless you make those words clear.

  【Is your real target really me? 】

  【How much do you know? 】

  【How long have you planned? 】

  Everything is just speculation. Before resigning as president and inviting him to join the game, it can be seen as just a stress response to the Fukumoto incident, and Tao Dalang said "overthinking".

   But this point, again, must be confirmed.

   has already been wrong once and can’t be wrong again.

   "President Tao, do you know what I'm worried about?" Nobuhiko Horikawa finally said, "The answers I want to know are not just these."

  On the phone, Tao Zhiming didn't speak for a long time.

The longer    was silent, the more Horikawa Nobuhiko felt that his guess was right.

Finally, Tao Zhiming spoke up: "I have come slowly from nothing. During this journey, I took the initiative to strive for every opportunity and every network connection. I took the initiative to win and manage. It takes both boldness and caution. You say so, Horikawa-san? I'm sure you know that."

   "...Of course." Nobuhiko Horikawa guessed why he said this.

The next sentence made Horikawa Nobuhiko extremely heavy: "So for Horikawa-sang, who took the initiative to cooperate with me at first, even knowing that I and the Ueda family already had a marriage contract, he still entrusted Haruka to me. , became unprecedentedly cautious.”

   Is it really related to Haruka Haru? It is impossible for that child to know anything, then his investigation... Since he can handle Fukumoto Xiong like a storm, how much has he already mastered?

Tao Zhiming continued: "All in all, since Haruno Takizo is your righteous brother, and he committed suicide because of something similar to Yueguangzhuang, I must beware of the traps here. Horikawa-san, you can understand this. Bar?"

   "…very understandable."

   "But the Hachiman Research Society is indeed a platform that I really hope to enter and exert influence." Tao Zhiming said this first, and then said, "Also, Haruka... It's really cute."

   sounds like it is because of interest.

"So, compared with the possible rewards, I take some causal responsibilities in the past, as long as I feel controllable, that's fine." Tao Zhiming chuckled, "However, I didn't expect Mitsubishi and No. 1 Persuasion to return There is another plan of the Trinity Consortium, and it made me a breakthrough target the year before last. After that, Horikawa-san has not given me a real explanation."

   Horikawa Nobuhiko was shocked.

  Is the problem here?

   When he was under siege, he just took advantage of the situation to win over him and strengthen his relationship with him. In the end, Iwasaki took the initiative to jump out and admitted that it was the choice made by Mitsui and Sumitomo under the pressure of the cabinet policy. He didn't believe it? Does he think he is involved? Even letting Haruka approach him at first, with a purpose?

   Horikawa Nobuhiko suddenly turned pale as he thought about what he saw on his yacht on October 18 last year.

   Yes, since he was able to talk so eloquently that day, making so many bigwigs in the cabinet speechless, couldn't he do it before?

  What cabinet policy will stimulate the collapse of the real estate market and the stock market at the same time, which will put the Iwasaki family, Mitsui and Sumitomo under great pressure. Since he can let the big bosses in the cabinet and the old stubborn Miyano accompany him to formulate that new crazy plan, how can the previous policy rhythm get out of control?

   Horikawa Nobuhiko's eyes suddenly focused on Takagi Renhachi, fierce.

   After the "Weekly Bunchun" bombarded the Tao Dalang incident, the person who went to the negotiation meeting at that time was his Takagi Renhachi.

  Although I have checked with many people, was Takagi Jinhachi already bought at that time, not after October 18 last year?

   In Nobuhiko Horikawa's view, only after going through the "debate" on the yacht last year can he truly feel Tao Dalang's unparalleled influence and the irreversibility of their plan. In this case, if Takagi Renhachi finds out that they have joined forces to target Horikawa Nobuhiko, it is indeed impossible for them to fight.

   But the year before last?

  If Takagi Jinhachi was conquered at that time, then...then...

  Takagi Renpachi was stared at by him and sweated again, thinking that Horikawa Nobuhiko was just angry, after all, his hand holding the gun was a little trembling.

   He didn't know that Horikawa Nobuhiko was trembling with fear.

"...Sorry, President Tao." Horikawa Nobuhiko tried his best to restrain himself, trying to confirm that Tao Zhiming was only angry because he had a role in dealing with him, "You can also understand that in their plan, I never Neither is dominant. That’s why I sincerely want to work with you. After all, we are all people who have risen from the dust.”

He tried to explain: "As for Haruka... You must know by now that the Yawata Research Society is not so clean. We have both commercial interests and a common platform that can facilitate many things. There is also a layer of Haruka. Family relationship, this is the most stable alliance. When you proposed to let Ueno-kun marry Takagi-san's daughter, I was very happy. Really, I thought you agreed with this. Why are you still worried about me now? By lying in ambush against your trap?"

  Takagi Renhachi felt wronged in his heart: his daughter, just to paralyze Horikawa Nobuhiko at that time, wanted to marry Ueno Yosuke, a guy who was as rough as Tao Dalang.

   Fortunately, Yoko seems to be very obsessed with Yosuke Ueno, and Yosuke Ueno still has to show his face. He is not as reckless as Tao Dalang. He does everything secretly, and he does not let Yoko know...

"Really not?" Tao Zhiming sneered, "Don't you want to know what Kishima-san had to say when he escaped from Kansai and came to Tokyo to find me? He said it because he held the shares of the Haruno family on his behalf. , if I take over, then he has to die."

Horikawa Nobuhiko hurriedly said, "That's because Kishima-san thinks too much! When people get old, they always think too much. You've seen it for so long, haven't we been in peace with each other all the time? My focus is not at all on it. those things back then."

"That's because of Tanaka-sama's mediation!" Tao Zhiming was not polite, "But the shares held by Kishima-san will always be handed over to me. Horikawa-san, when are you going to explain it to me? Secret, so that I can feel at ease? I have been waiting, from the 40,000 points of the neon stock index to the current 10,000 points! I don’t want to suffer a fatal blow when the plan is advanced to a critical moment!”

  Nobuhiko Horikawa instead relaxed and said heavily: "I understand! If it's because of this, it's my fault, I'm very sorry! If President Tao has time, I'll explain it to you in detail!"

   "Okay, tomorrow at Hachiman Shrine, I'll wait for you!"

   Horikawa Nobuhiko was taken aback: "Hachiman Shrine?"

"Of course." Tao Zhiming said, "Kishima-san said that there are secrets related to the Haruno family, and it must be the death of Haruno Takizo, who has always been concerned about Haruka. Although she is a witch, but since she is my woman, I also I don't want her to always have an indifferent temperament!"

   "…I see. Then… see you tomorrow."

   Horikawa Nobuhiko slowly put down the phone.

   In order to survive, Motoichi Kijima just pointed this out and made him seem worthwhile, but didn't he drag out the secrets of the year?

   Also, all those secrets were told, and he died without a place to be buried.

   If you say that, there is still salvation, not the worst.

   is also, only because of the huge interests, so much trouble is needed.

  Nobuhiko Horikawa felt relieved, looking at Renhachi Takagi, whose hair was sweating, he picked up the gun with a smile and aimed it at his knee.

  Takagi Renhachi was frightened, his lips trembled, and he raised his hands: "Master President...you...you..."

  “click—”

  Nobuhiko Horikawa tightened the trigger, there was only a muffled sound, but no bullets were fired, but Takagi Renhachi's pants were wet with sweat again.

   "Look, it's really a toy gun." Horikawa Nobuhiko looked very innocent.

   "...Sir President!" Takagi Renhachi burst into tears.

"Come to see President Tao with me tomorrow." Horikawa Nobuhiko ordered, "By the way, the two families haven't eaten together for a long time. Bring your wife and children to my house in the evening, and let them get together and chat. to chat with."

   "...Yes." Takagi Renpachi wiped his tears and stood up obediently.

   Seeing the water stains on the leather seat, he immediately lowered his head: "I'm going to change a chair."

   Seeing how embarrassed he was pushing the chair out, Horikawa Nobuhiko sighed after thinking about it for so many years: "Rinpachi, thank you for your hard work."

  Takagi Jinpachi turned around and stood there bent over, knowing that he didn’t need to explain more.

   A **** and a demon, both of them are as smart as ghosts.

   So caught in the middle of their confrontation, the hard work was real, Takagi Renhachi felt aggrieved, and tears came out again.

  This is the day people should live?

  Nobuhiko Horikawa said: "I don't blame you, I can understand. But tonight, can you finally treat me as a big brother, help me, and tell me something?"

  Takagi Renhak immediately knelt on the ground: "Brother Horikawa... I will definitely... tell you all. I... I don't want to do this either!"

   After saying that, he burst into tears, extremely aggrieved.

   Horikawa Nobuhiko walked over quickly, helped him up, and said, "Don't cry, wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the back of the president's office, took out a whole set of clothes from the closet, and said warmly, "Don't go out like this, change it, it's for you. You don't need to change the chair, our brothers. The two have been wandering together for so long, and they have long since been unable to distinguish each other."

   He lifted his suit with a smile and said, "Look, I'm actually sweating on my shirt too."

   After saying that, he took off his suit, used it to dry the chair, pushed it back and sat down calmly, smiled and said to him, "Go to the inner room to change your clothes, and go out with dignity."

   "...Thank you big brother." Takagi Renhachi was very moved, raised his arms and wiped his eyes with his sleeves, bowed, and walked into the back room with the new clothes.

   Horikawa Nobuhiko kept smiling, and when he entered the door, he slowly put away his smile.

   His eyes gradually moved to the safe, and Nobuhiko Horikawa reached out and took out a magazine from it.

After putting    in his suit pocket, he re-locked the safe.

  In the back room, Takagi Renhachi turned pale, looking at the dirty clothes he had changed.

   Today's fears are real, all the reactions are real, he's coming back from hell.

   But at this point, that guy still has a way to make Nobuhiko Horikawa trust him again, and after going to Hachiman Shrine to explain something to him, seems to be able to clear his suspicions?

  So...the plan is not over yet, I have to continue acting.

   And tonight, is the most difficult stage for you?

   Could it be that he had planned this link long ago, to force himself into the middle of a head-to-head confrontation between him and Horikawa Nobuhiko, and defeat his psychological defense?

   He remembered how the demons joined forces to act for him and Nobuhiko Horikawa.

   In this turmoil, did the film stars also design a small goal of "undercover acting skills improvement test"?

   But... After falling into a desperate situation once, it seems that I really have a deeper understanding of Nobuhiko Horikawa's question at night.

  Takagi Renhachi looked at himself in the mirror, the expression on that face was extremely complicated.

   He swallowed a dirty word.

   The devil who plays with people's hearts!
