Chapter 548 Unprecedented Christmas present

   Chapter 548 Unprecedented Christmas Gift

  Prince Hasar’s arrival was as pompous as ever, and ordinary people all thought it was just a carnival for the royals.

  The gate of heaven has become a new suicide resort. After more than a month of various “soul-suppressing” and “exorcism”, it is now full of friends.

  Tao Zhiming felt that this vividly interprets a word: tomb head dance.

   This dinner is divided into two parts, the first part is very formal. Not only dignitaries from all walks of life, but Taro Hashimoto and Junkyu Abe will also be present. Naturally, the first dinner had a real kick-ass show.

   “Why did you just let Kimura-kun and the others go to the show?”

   It was Akina Nakamori who called, but Tao Zhiming wondered if Sakai Quan Shui was eavesdropping.

   So he asked speechlessly: “What exactly do you really want to ask?”

   “… mainly because reporters came to interview, and said that Prince Jeffrey expressed his appreciation for me…”

  Tao Zhiming raised his tone a little: “Whatever Qiu Yuan-Jun arranges, you just need to obey. It’s not that I don’t understand, I’m busy, that’s all.”

   hung up the phone and handed it to Ogata Toshio, Tao Zhiming continued to face the mirror and put on his clothes.

   Ueda Xana frowned: “Wait a minute, do you really want to come home first? Can’t you talk about things in another place?”

“They are all curious about me, as a person who is so important to Neon now, and what my residence is like. When you go to family banquets, you have to adapt to it later as a wife. Not only today at noon, but many people will come with their families one after another, Hashimoto. San also had an appointment with me.”

   Previously, Ueda Xana temporarily lived in a dojo in Kyoto, and Tao Zhiming did not have a very formal residence.

   Since the month-long farce of “suppressing the soul and exorcising evil spirits”, many people knew that this was because Mrs. Tao was very uneasy, so it was arranged.

   The dignified Tao Dalang actually settled down at the Gate of Heaven. The economic situation has changed this year, and many people really hope to come to visit.

   Ueda Xana frowned and always felt uncomfortable.

  The head of the housemaid, Maki Kano, was busy while instructing.

   “…Is the wine ready? Akashi-sensei, what do I need to do next?”

   The chef who specially invited over said shamelessly: “Ms. Luye, my apprentice is also responsible for the preparation of the ingredients. You are only responsible for the things I said before.”

   “…Oh, I see.” Shikano Maki bent down, “I’m in trouble, because I’m really scared. After all, I’m a prince and a prince from a foreign royal family, I…”

   “I understand. Although it’s a family banquet… But since Hashimoto-sama also came, it’s a state banquet. Don’t worry, Mr. Mengtao appreciates it, and I will do my best.”

   He is the chef in charge of cooking at Taoranting, and he is quite familiar with Hashimoto Taro, after all, he used to go there often.

   It’s just that this time there is a royal family from abroad, and it is indeed related to decency.

   “Maki-san! The guests are coming!” Another maid, Mosuke Terazawa, appeared nervously at the door and shouted.

   “Quick! Let’s meet at the door together! Where’s Ayane?”

   “At the entrance…”

  Shano Maki and Terazawa Mosuke hurriedly came to the living room, and stood in a row with the three of them, Sakamoto Ayane.

  Tao Zhiming and Ueda Xana, who was wearing a kimono, stood there and said with a smile, “It’s okay to be polite, why are you so nervous?”

   Shikano Maki bowed his head: “Our upbringing represents the decency of you and your wife. Please rest assured that the master and your wife will do well.”

   Tao Zhiming was noncommittal.

   After a while, it was like visiting the door. Someone knocked on the door first.

  Shano Maki hurried over to open the door. After opening it, he saw a lot of people standing outside.

   “Bravo!” Hassar shouted enthusiastically first, and also said a specious neon language, “Long time no see!”

   “Welcome, please come in.” Tao Zhiming smiled and bowed, and Ueda Xana naturally sang along with her husband and wife, looking extremely quiet.

   In addition to Jeffrey, Hassall, and Walid, there are also Taro Hashimoto and Abe Zhuanjiu.

   As the three members of the royal family, in addition to Walid, the other two have a butler standing behind them with things in their hands.

  When you come to visit, gifts are essential.

  Tao Zhiming greeted him with a laugh when he saw this: “Jiro, Zhizhi, come here quickly, there are uncles to give gifts!”

  Shano Maki is numb, is this appropriate?

   But they seemed happy.

   “Ah, Madam Tao is so beautiful and elegant!”

   In the face of the praise, Ueda Xana was a little embarrassed, and pulled his two sons who were a little nervous and curious: “Welcome to the house, Maki, prepare the tea.”

  Tao Zhiming said casually to them: “The home is not big, you can finish it in two steps, and you don’t need to visit the bedroom. My home is really not as meticulously and specially designed as you think.”

   After saying that, I took them to visit the living room, sports area, kendo room and tea room study.

   Ogata Toshio stayed in the living room with the housekeeper who came with them.

  Jeffrey glanced casually, and then said: “Mr. Tao, with your strength, even if you like the view from a high place, you should use this entire floor anyway.”

  Tao Zhiming said solemnly: “Usually there are only a few people in the house, so what do you want in such a big place?”

   After he said that, he blinked fiercely and gestured to Shana Ueda who was beside them.

  Jeffrey came over knowingly and laughed, feeling rather proud.

  Hasar also said: “I heard that Bravo’s swordsmanship is not as strong as yours, Madam Tao.”

   Ueda Xana naturally knew what they were talking about, and slandered that they were all rambunctious bastards, but still had to answer quietly: “Where is where.”

   When they entered the tea room, Ueda Shana took his two sons back to the children’s room and the game room.

  The space was left to them, Shikano Maki helped make tea, and Terazawa Mosuke also brought coffee and refreshments.

   Tao Zhiming acted as a translator, and the six people started chatting.

   Of course, we can’t talk about serious business now, so we’re just polite to each other.

   Even Hassall, Walid, and Jeffrey are facing high-ranking politicians in Neon after all.

   Today’s occasion is incomparable to last night’s Hu Tianhudi. Even Jeffrey can express his own opinions on some national affairs.

   But in the ears of Hashimoto Taro and Abe Zhuanjiu, their knowledge is far worse than Tao Dalang.

   “…After the incident happened in Hongsu in August, Prince Hasar, you guys are also very nervous, right?” Jeffrey also asked.

   How could Hassar understand this?

But at any rate, the weight is getting heavier now, and I am concerned about some things, so I said: “I am not nervous. It’s just that the war at the beginning of the year had a great impact. After 8 months, the oil field fire in Kurt finally ended. It was all wiped out.”

After speaking, the most shrewd Walid asked Taro Hashimoto: “Your Excellency Hashimoto, first of all, congratulations on your re-appointment as the finance minister of Neon. I heard that Neon is preparing a series of amendments to the bill, which is also Neon’s response to the future. Is it part of the changing world situation?”

“The world is changing, and this is what everyone has seen.” Hashimoto Taro said nothing, “Neon’s new cabinet must first ensure that in the current situation, it will do its best to protect the future of the people. Everything is well thought out. Considering it, I believe that our cooperation negotiation this time will achieve a satisfactory result for everyone.”

   “So what do you think about Hongsu’s future direction?” Walid continued to seize this rare opportunity to ask.

   This is not a public occasion. In Tao Zhiming’s house, the opportunity to have a private conversation with the Neon Finance Minister is very valuable to bankers and investors like Walid.

Although Taro Hashimoto didn’t look at Tao Zhiming, thinking about his previous “prophecy”, he could only play the euphemism of a neon man and say: “The aftermath of the August incident has not subsided, and we are very concerned about the situation of Hongsu now. Concerns. In September they recognized the independence of the three countries, and it’s a real mess where things are going.”

  Walid didn’t hear any useful news, so he couldn’t help but look at Tao Zhiming.

“…Mr. Tao, remember that three years ago, you said something to me in Baharin.” Walid asked earnestly, “You said that within five years, or even three years, Hongsu may no longer exist. Now, the situation It has become very subtle.”

  Hashimoto Taro, Abe Zhuanjiu and Jeffrey were all shocked.

  Three years ago, he said something like this?

  Tao Zhiming smiled: “I think the signs are very obvious now, so I stick to my judgment. Isn’t this time to invite everyone to prepare for this event?”

Seeing that Waleed was about to ask questions, Tao Zhiming raised his hand: “Prince Waleed, there is still time this afternoon. Now let everyone have an atmosphere where they can enter into a frank communication, and then have a taste of wine after a while. status.”

   “Did Mr. Jamie Dimon arrange for someone to come over this afternoon?”

Tao Zhiming shook his head, and his momentum came up: “I don’t need them. They will be very happy if you can help Ami Oil get an additional large order. Sir Jeffrey, they also need to realize a lot of money now. You will get a lot of friendships from big names in the United States. In this feast, we have no chance to be the main force in the game, but there is still a chance to get enough rewards.”

  Jeffrey’s eyes lit up: “It’s exciting.”

For him, as the person in charge of Levin Investment Bureau, if he can reach a very strong cooperation with Neon and Oylt, and at the same time lay a deeper foundation for his future, he will gain unimaginable benefits. wealth is too attractive.

   After all, he is only a prince, and a position like a king has nothing to do with him after all.

   Compared with the risks that such a big ambition will bring, isn’t money, luxury cars, and beautiful women fragrant enough?

   Similarly, compared to such an opportunity, the real estate bought here at the gate of the kingdom of heaven has dropped in price, what is it?

   The first dinner was very formal, the second was not a dinner, it was purely a replay of the night before.

   is just not at sea, but on land.

   Hearing that many people committed suicide by jumping off the building before the Gate of Heaven, Hassar felt dismayed, and moved the venue to the Prince Hotel, the yacht home port that they had contracted.

   Hashimoto Taro and the others naturally would not attend this gathering. They are really not as unscrupulous as the royal children of those complete monarchy countries.

   Besides, in both countries, polygamy is legally allowed.

After the secret conversation in the afternoon, Jeffrey now feels that he has a better relationship with Tao Zhiming, so he said casually, “Bravo, just immigrate to Levin. In that case, how many palaces do you build and how many women do you put in them?” , and no one will take care of you!”

   “…Do you think I’m being controlled?” Tao Zhiming was a little tired of them making such a fuss, “It’s just that it’s so close, it’s better to go home and sleep.”

   “These are not neon beauties, but they are also very interested in you! How many times would it be good to invite someone for tea.”

   There are more people today than last night. It is truly a gathering of beauties from all over the world.

   And drinking tea is Jeffrey’s special language, and he behaves like a gentleman. In fact, the tea has the taste of the sea.

  Tao Zhiming waved his hand: “I have a very important press conference tomorrow morning, and I didn’t sleep well last night. And I’m gone, isn’t you the most handsome?”

  Jeffrey laughed, very pleased.

   went downstairs and saw the sports car Jeffrey bought yesterday parked downstairs, Tao Zhiming threw the key to Yuta Irie: “Give it to you.”

  ”…” Irie Yuta was a little confused.

“Yuma’s child is about to be born, you should work harder. You drive a sports car and are liked by girls.” Tao Zhiming teased, and then said, “I think Flying Bird is pretty good, and you two are pretty good together. Interesting, do you want to try it?”

  ”…” Yuta Irie continued to be speechless.

   “Let’s go, go home.” Tao Zhiming muttered, “My Shana is more cute.”

   In such an occasion, Tao Zhiming is not as reckless as Jeffrey and the others.

   It’s even more wonderful to take the heart and the kidney.

   Back at Zhenyingju, Ueda Xana was a little surprised.

   I thought he would “entertainment” like last night.

   “His yacht is so small that there is no way to park the helicopter, otherwise I would have returned last night!” Tao Zhiming said perfunctorily, and then went ahead with the knife, “Madame’s elegance today has always made me angry!”

   And downstairs, Yuta Irie sat in this brand new sports car. After a while, he still took out his mobile phone and dialed it.

   “…Do you… like sports cars?”

  …

   Tao Zhiming’s so-called important press conference is a very simple matter for him.

   But in his capacity, any public statement is very important.

Reporters gathered at the headquarters of the Pantao Club. After Tao Zhiming made his opening remarks, he went straight to the topic: “Because of the false reports of many media, many people choose to end their lives at the gate of heaven. Since there is a place that many people shy away from. The haunted house, in order to be able to upgrade the security measures there more easily and prevent more tragedies from happening, so I am ready to buy back the real estate there.”

   Do you need a special conference on this matter?

But Tao Zhiming went on to say: “Those who buy real estate at the Gate of Heaven are those top commercial properties that do not affect the overall situation of the real estate and residential market. Now that real estate prices are falling, many buyers may not want to expose their financial constraints and need to sell. Assets. So, let’s just tell everyone in this form.”

“Because of the name of ‘Haunted House’, the price of real estate at the Gate of Heaven has fallen sharply. Under the current circumstances, there are not many people who can come up with funds to buy real estate there, and it may be difficult to resell, so I simply go back and forth by myself. Buy it.” Tao Zhi paused and emphasized, “The price will exceed the current real price by 10%. The effective time is until the end of this month. This is the last chance!”

“above!”

  The so-called important press conference is so simple and clear.

   And the reporters apparently understood what he meant, and instead scrambled to ask questions.

   “President Tao… Last chance, your judgment is that the decline in the real estate market will not stop?”

  Tao Zhiming replied dumbly: “I just said that I did not judge the overall real estate market trend in the time window for repurchasing real estate at the Gate of Heaven on this condition.”

   “President Tao, even if the premium is 10%, it is still lower than the sale price at the beginning of the year. Among the clients who bought the real estate of the gate of heaven, are there many rich foreign companies and companies? Are you worried that this will affect your reputation?”

  Tao Zhiming continued his poker face: “If people who want to sell are unwilling, they can continue to hold it. But in order to avoid more tragedies, the entire building needs to upgrade some entrance and exit security systems.”

   Talking about it, it seems as if he is overwhelmed by the continuous suicide.

   “President Tao… You are willing to pay a 10% premium. Are you sending a signal that the real estate market may be picking up? After all, in your investment career, there is no time to lose.”

  The reporters waited with bated breath, but Tao Zhiming replied nonsensically: “Now living there, Madam is about to have a nervous breakdown, ‘Hurry up and solve this problem!’ It was Madam who sent me such a signal.”

   “Then Mr. Tao, you bought back the Hokkaido land you originally purchased from the Seibu Group at a low price, but you didn’t withdraw from the Osaki New Town Joint Development Association. Are you still optimistic about the real estate market?”

   Tao Zhiming deliberately appeared here today.

   Using the pretext of “Ms. instructed to stop the suicide of the Gate of Heaven” and a statement to buy back the real estate of the Gate of Heaven is actually to give reporters enough time to ask questions.

   During this time, there has been a lot of news surrounding Tao Zhiming. Ogami, Club House, Fukumoto, Seibu Holdings fake accounts… Many things are related to him. The Gate of Heaven was the last hugely profitable project in the real estate market. As soon as he made his money, the real estate market began to collapse.

   Conspiracy theories were prevalent, and he had only briefly dealt with them before.

  Today, let them ask enough.

   Listening to their questions, I know that in the expectation of many people, I hope to hear some good news from his “walking finance god”.

   However, Tao Zhiming is only based on the actual situation, and does not involve a clear judgment, but introduces some actions that he has clearly taken now.

  Why not withdraw from the development complex of Osaki New Town? The many cooperations with Yoshiaki Ti are only for the purpose of “doing the best as a friend and helping him tide over the difficulties”.

   What do you think about the central bank’s clear decision to abandon the window guidance policy? Tao Zhiming replied, breaking away from the shackles of window quotas, it is now difficult for the real estate industry to obtain funds, but this is beneficial to some more promising industries such as new technology industries.

  As the special director of the Financial Security Research Center of the Ministry of Finance, what suggestions do you have for the next steps of Kiji Miyazawa and Taro Hashimoto? That is of course: the current international and domestic environment is very complicated, and he supports solving the problems existing in the financial system as soon as possible and restoring the performance of the neon stock market.

  Why focus on those inspirational songs from WanderStar All-Star Album? Tao Zhiming talked a lot about the charitable acts that have been done now, and at the same time encouraged many citizens who are in trouble due to financial and real estate investment to hold on, and go to the gate of heaven and the forest under Mount Fuji if there is nothing to do…

   In the end, everyone gathered up the many questions he answered today, which was unprecedented in history, but they could only look at each other in dismay.

   He made it clear that Osaki New Castle and Kagura Town are real estate projects that he has already participated in. Since it has started, he will insist on completing it.

   But beyond that, his focus will be on cultural entertainment, high technology, yachting and manufacturing. At the same time, it was also revealed that Pantao Film will acquire Toho and Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe, and at the same time take a stake in Hankyu Electric Railway.

   For the support of the Yawata Film and Television New City project, he will focus on bringing the project to the future film and television base.

   So a thousand words seem to be summed up into a hint: the financial system is very problematic, and the real estate market has a high probability of falling a lot.

The influence of    the **** of finance appeared.

Although it was interpreted by various media, he himself answered without leakage and did not give any clear judgment, but in the afternoon of this day, Tokyo, Osaka … many cities dealing with second-hand real estate clubs were crowded with people offering lower prices. People who want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

   And in the evening, Hashimoto Taro also announced a big news.

   The Neon Bank for International Cooperation, which is about to be established, has reached a series of important framework cooperation agreements with Levin and Oylt.

   includes additional strategic reserve oil imports in order to deal with subsequent risks to the international environment.

   Including the joint capital injection by Levin Investment Bureau and Oyert Royal Vision to the Yawata Film and Television New City project.

   The investment in Neon in the next five years by Levin Investment Bureau and Oyert Royal Vision alone will reach 10 billion yuan.

   As if in response to Tao Zhiming’s exceptional “talking too much”, Hashimoto Taro specially refuted some of the media’s interpretations, and at the same time made many guarantees in the name of Minister Dazo.

   After all, isn’t it that you will try your best to solve the current problem?

   But what time is it? It was when the approval rating in the opinion polls fell to the lowest level in history and the seats were lost one by one. It was Tanaka Sakae who just confessed his guilt, and everyone was discussing who the remaining 2.5 billion yen was given to. when.

   Hashimoto Taro said many things that others do not believe.

The investment of   RMB 10 billion will indeed bring a lot of growth opportunities, but it is more like an exchange given by Neon for additional oil imports from them.

   Doesn’t this make the international situation more complicated and domestic investment also weak?

   At this juncture, Mie Yefu jumped out again, reiterating that cutting interest rates is a helpless move, and the longer-term behavior is to promote the revision of the Neon Bank Law as soon as possible, so that the Neon Bank can stand on an independent stand and be responsible to all citizens.

   In addition, it announced the issuance of treasury bonds in the coming year in advance, saying that because of the increase in the yield of treasury bonds, the private sector is encouraged to choose treasury bonds, a lower-risk financial product.

   Three important news in one day.

  The next day, Tao Zhiming was summoned by the House of Representatives for questioning as a special director of the Financial Security Research Center. After leaving the House, Tao Zhiming announced to reporters with a stern face that he would go abroad for a vacation and make a circumnavigation.

   This is as if I got into trouble because of nonsense, and I was restrained by the identity of the special director and temporarily shut up.

   Waiting for Tao Zhiming to arrange some things in Tokyo and Kansai, on the day that he left Tokyo leisurely on the Tao Ran, Miyazawa Kiji, who had just officially taken over as Prime Minister for a week, submitted a series of amendments to the bill to the House of Representatives.

   And Hashimoto Taro took advantage of the opportunity to re-appoint as Minister of the Treasury, and announced that the Changshin Bank and the Industrial Bank will start a thorough investigation and rectification of risky debts.

   When Tao Zhiming’s ship arrived at Fragrant Island, there was also a big news from Hongsu.

  Ross Central Bank took over Hongsu’s National Bank and Foreign Economic Bank, and mastered Hongsu’s financial power.

   Everyone knows that the next step is to get the supreme command of the armed forces, including the buttons of so many mushrooms, and Hongsu will be completely changed.

  Tao Ran appeared in a special berth in Victoria Bay, Fragrant Island. The huge and beautiful body has already attracted a large number of reporters’ guns and short guns.

   Zhao Yuanxi was waiting at the dock, and his face became serious after seeing him: “President Nan is waiting for your time.”

   Tao Zhiming nodded: “No hurry, I will stay in Xiangdao for a few days.”

   “Do you really want to go around the world?”

   “That’s right.” Tao Zhiming’s eyes lit up, “The final arrangement has been made. How’s your talk with Dong Sheng over at OOCL?”

   “He has already been to the mainland once. There is no problem with giving us the controlling stake. In addition, the matter of investing in shipyards in China is also green light all the way, and there are already several plans for the site selection.”

   “Okay!” Tao Zhiming grinned, “Using the Oyert Royal Family’s yacht construction schedule and the opportunity of the Levine Royal Family’s batch of superyacht orders, I will take Azimut down this time.”

   Zhao Yuanxi, who knew Tao Zhiming’s many plans, felt a surge of excitement: “Then, do I want to speed up the speed of Lamma Island? Also, the aircraft carrier hotel or something… Are you really sure?”

“Leave this to me.” Tao Zhiming smiled, “There is no rush on Lamma Island, let the Li family first invest in the infrastructure. This time, put the matter of the cross-sea bridge on the agenda. I am willing to contribute. Money, the Li family who occupies most of the land on Lamma Island is not outrageous, right?”

   “…You’re forcing him like that, is it really okay?”

   “What can be the matter?” Tao Zhiming was very happy, “Neon International Cooperation Bank is also willing to invest in Lamma Island, he will not be short of money now, he will only believe that Neon is really there to cooperate with me.”

   “I still don’t understand why you have confidence in that aircraft carrier hotel…”

“Heh.” Tao Zhiming is very confident, “This matter is delicate. If the yacht home port of Xiangdao has shares of Neon International Cooperation Bank, then the aircraft carrier hotel under this name is extremely delicate. Say. By the way, where is Miss Qiu?”

   “…Why did you change the subject?”

   “I’m cheap, I miss her.”

   After staying on the boat for so long, Tao Zhiming went directly to his house here.

   Zhao Yuanxi listened all the way, and became more and more speechless: “You want to build a large private manor on Lamma Island, and also build a special airstrip?”

   “That’s right, I was despised by Prince Jeffrey in Neon!” Tao Zhiming spoke eloquently, “How can I fall behind him?”

   “…Wait, will Xia Guo really feel at ease with such a plan?”

“Don’t worry! What’s not to worry about! After the battle this year, if there is such an opportunity as I provide, they will definitely cooperate with this scene!” Tao Zhiming was smug, “Since OOCL has been handed over to me, I will do it again. To be a ship king, that’s the strength!”

   This is more than a month since Tao Zhiming was “forbidden on vacation”.

In the past month or so, he started from Fragrant Island, passed Levine and Oylt all the way, and arrived at Idali with his power, which was actually worth hundreds of billions of meters. The price of “more” made Azimut give up a relative controlling stake.

   When he came to the United States again, he was just eating, drinking, and having fun.

   And on Christmas Eve, he finally returned to Tokyo Bay.

   Hongsu gave the entire western world an unprecedented Christmas present, will it be delivered on time?
