Chapter 1167

When eating breakfast the next day, Naoki Nagayama was still thinking about how to avoid the big pit of the Recruit bribery case.

You know, the involvement was so large that even the prime ministers of two governments couldn't hold on. Before the exposure, the relationships inside must be intertwined, covering the political and financial ecology of Japan like a spider web.

And the outbreak of the case later, the media could explore so much internal information and expose it to the public, which must also be inseparable from the pushing of political factions such as the opposition party!

In other words, this is political infighting!

As long as any party is involved in a political event, the system will automatically match you with an opponent... In the entertainment and financial circles these years, I don't know how many people are jealous of the Tree Friend Group!

"Naoki-san...." Akina, who was opposite the dining table, asked with some doubt, "What's wrong with you? You feel like you have a lot on your mind~"

"Ah... the Tokyo Film Industry Association has been established, and there are some things to consider."

Naoki Nagayama naturally didn't tell Akina about these worrying things. As a man, he should keep these things outside the Yamasakura-in.

He finished his breakfast in a few bites, and then teased little Xia Hua who had finished her breakfast milk and asked:

"Is Akina going out today?"

"Hai~" Akina Nakamori nodded, "Going to the hospital to give Xia Hua a vaccine!"

Little Xia Hua was not going to the hospital for a vaccine for the first time. She seemed to have a deep shadow over words like "hospital" and "injection." After hearing the keyword "hospital," she immediately widened her eyes and looked at her mother.

Actually, when she was just born, for the sake of privacy, Naoki Nagayama invited a doctor to the Yamasakura-in to give vaccines. However, as the baby slowly grew up and had two minor illnesses, she was now used to going to a private hospital. After all, the medical examination equipment there was more perfect, and it could judge whether the baby was growing healthily...

And high-end private hospitals were in the suburbs, the confidentiality was originally very good, and the environment was also very quiet~

"Oh oh oh~~~ going out, is Hua-chan very happy?!"

Akina looked at the excited little Xia Hua, held her up and asked happily,

"Can breathe fresh air, and can see other babies~"

Naoki Xia Hua moved her hands around, her small body was also twisting, and her mouth made a somewhat panicked sound... she was so anxious she was almost talking!

"......."

How does it look like she's happy... Sure enough, a child's fear of needles starts from childhood!

"Akina, is the driver sending you over?"

"No... I'll drive myself!"

Akina said with a smile. She had already installed a baby seat in her blue Porsche 911. A young mother taking her child to get a vaccine independently is a very normal thing.

"Taking advantage of the good weather, I'll go for a stroll with Momoe-san later!"

"?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. "With Momoe-san?"

"Hai... Momoe-san will also bring Takahiro-chan to get a vaccine today, so we made an appointment...."

This private hospital seemed to be the choice of many celebrities and rich people. Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi also chose this hospital.

"So that's how it is..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't ask much. The interaction between wives is Akina's business. Momoe Yamaguchi, who also had a baby and had similar experiences, must have a lot of common topics with Akina.

"Ah... by the way... since you are going to see Momoe-san, Akina, please bring something for me by the way...."

Saying that, Naoki Nagayama ran to the study and took a copy of the latest script of "Departures,"

"This is the final adjusted complete script... it was originally going to be given to Tomokazu-san, so Akina can just bring it over by the way...."

"The complete script of 'Departures'....."

This kind of script is generally not given to people outside the crew, and now Tomokazu Miura has been decided as the male lead, so it can naturally be given to him.

"Let Tomokazu-san prepare in advance according to the script...."

Tomokazu Miura's image still needs to be adjusted, at least the flesh on his cheeks needs to be reduced~

"Hai, I will let Momoe-san pass it on!"

Akina nodded, accepted the script, and continued to soothe little Xia Hua who was already anxious and about to cry.....

After leaving the Yamasakura-in, Naoki Nagayama sat in the widened back seat of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, closing his eyes and thinking.

"Toda Zhian-kun!"

Halfway to Ikebukuro, Naoki Nagayama pulled open the small partition and stopped Toda Toda Zhian,

"Not going to the Tree Friend Building first, turn to Tree Friend Capital...."

"Hai!"

Toda Toda Zhian didn't ask much, directly started to turn the car around and drove towards the direction of Ginza.

More than half an hour later, Naoki Nagayama arrived at the office building of Tree Friend Capital again.

"Naoki-san?!"

Tree Friend Capital's receptionist, Kanae Soraka, was very surprised to see Naoki Nagayama, because today is not the day Naoki Nagayama usually comes to the company.

"Why did you come today? It's not the end of the month yet!"

"Something came up~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, didn't answer, and asked directly, "Soraka-chan, is Zhongjing Yuanta-san there?"

"Hai.... the minister is in the office...."

Kanae Soraka saw that Naoki Nagayama seemed to have something important, and didn't act as casually as before,

"Naoki-san came just in time, the minister has an appointment to see a client at 11 o'clock... he's about to leave~"

"Mm..... postpone that schedule...." Naoki Nagayama said, "I have some important work to talk to Zhongjing Yuanta-san about!"

"Ah?" Kanae Soraka was stunned, and then reacted, "Hai!"

Then she led Naoki Nagayama towards Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta's office.....

When walking to the door of the minister's office, he saw Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta tilting his head while answering the phone and writing something in his notebook. When he saw Naoki Nagayama, he was obviously very surprised.

"Sumimasen, I'll call you back later...."

After Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta hung up the phone, he stood up and looked at Naoki Nagayama,

"Naoki-san?! Why did you come suddenly?"

"Something to communicate with Zhongjing Yuanta-san~" Naoki Nagayama didn't be polite, directly closed the office door, "About some of our previous investments...."

"What's wrong? Did something big happen?"

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's serious look, Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta's expression also became serious, and he sat down with Naoki Nagayama.

"Wasn't the film industry association established yesterday? I came into contact with some news at the dinner party afterwards."

Naoki Nagayama naturally couldn't tell the memories in his head directly, but found a source of news. The dinner party with complex personnel yesterday was a good excuse.

"Zhongjing Yuanta-san.... do you know Recruit company?"

"Recruit company..... that listed company of 'Recruit Universe'?"

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta nodded,

"The company that went public at the end of last year, I naturally know..... and the company's president, Hiromasa Ezoe, is a famous person in Japan's financial and political circles!"

"I heard that he has a very good friendship with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Ushio Electric Association, and officials from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Labor..... he is a person with eyes and hands reaching the sky!"

"Good to know...."

For this person he trusted, Naoki Nagayama didn't intend to hide it,

"Do you know about the bribery of Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, members of the Diet, and high-ranking government officials by Recruit company under the leadership of Hiromasa Ezoe?"

"Uh....."

In the financial circle, Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta is naturally no stranger to bribery. Which large interest group doesn't have so-called "public relations fees"? In fact, many things are in the sunshine, just tacit understanding.

"I've heard of it...."

Seeing Naoki Nagayama's somewhat surprised look, Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta explained:

"Recruit company has taken many government projects, and Hiromasa Ezoe also serves as a special member of the government tax system investigation, special participation in land temporary adjustment, etc...... you can guess it!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't ask too much about these things, but asked:

"Does our Tree Friend Capital have any projects related to Recruit company?"

"This..... should have."

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta was also not sure.

Tree Friend is an investment company. Although the key business is stock investment, it has also involved many different businesses to date, and both asset management and project financing are available......

And Tree Friend Investment has a land development department, which specializes in commercial real estate transactions, and there must be projects related to Recruit company.

"Find out the projects related to Recruit company as soon as possible, and get out or withdraw quickly!"

Naoki Nagayama said,

"Even if there is a loss, we must clarify the relationship!"

"??? Loss also withdraw?" Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta was puzzled. "Naoki-san, why is this? Is there any internal news?"

"Mm...... Recruit company conducted internal transactions by selling unlisted stocks before listing...." Naoki Nagayama said, "This is illegal abroad, but it is still a gray area in Japan."

"Yes, this is originally a long-standing tradition!" Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta said, "It's not that serious, right?"

This kind of behavior is considered a tradition of strengthening interpersonal relationships in Japanese society~

"Yes.... but he sold it to members of the Diet and high-ranking government officials!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Seeking benefits for himself.... this is bribery!"

"This......"

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta still didn't understand,

"But this kind of thing is very common..... even our Tree Friend Capital often treats some members of the Diet to dinner....."

To be honest, this kind of behavior is very common in Japan, in capitalist society.... no, it is a universal phenomenon in any society..... In Europe and America, there are special "lobbying" teams, isn't it just another way of saying bribery!

But Naoki Nagayama knows the situation of the Recruit bribery case, and he also knows that this is political infighting later..... far exceeding the scope of the bribery case.

"This time is different!"

Naoki Nagayama thought about how to explain to Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta,

"Zhongjing Yuanta-san, think about it.... why do even I know about this kind of secret news that should have been a private behavior between the two parties?!"

"Did one side reveal the news?"

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta said subconsciously, and then shook his head again. Both sides are interest parties, how could they reveal the news! So he immediately thought of the reason:

"Someone is dissatisfied and reported it?!"

Generally speaking, internal transactions are only known to both parties and there is no evidence, but in the Recruit bribery case, there is a mysterious person...... he revealed the list of Recruit company stock transferees to media reporters!

This list involving more than 70 social celebrities is the explosion point of the Recruit bribery case!

So someone reported it!

"I got internal news..... someone is already investigating the bribery situation related to Recruit company."

Naoki Nagayama pulled up the banner as before,

"This time it's not just a casual check, the other party put in a lot of effort, just to bring down Recruit company!"

"So, while the investigation is still in the early stages, pull our Tree Friend completely out of these things!"

"......."

Internal news!! Internal news again!!!

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta looked at Naoki Nagayama, and felt that his friend was covered in a layer of mystery again......

The first time he invested in the US stock market, he said he got internal news that the Federal Reserve interest rate would be lowered and national debt would rise sharply, earning 9 million US dollars at once;

The second time was internal news again, bought the stock of Fujitsu, which was about to be merged, and the principal quadrupled;

The third time was internal news again, the US-Japan exchange rate would change greatly, operated on both sides of the US and Japan, and directly grabbed nearly 1 billion US dollars!

And now, there is internal news again!!

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta looked at Naoki Nagayama, and couldn't help but guess.....

Could Naoki-san be CIA, KGB, MI6, otherwise how could there be so much internal news?!

However, why did these institutions put Naoki-san in Japan and let him earn so much money?

Filming movies? Writing novels? Influencing Japanese society in terms of thought and culture?!

"Zhongjing Yuanta-san? Zhongjing Yuanta-san?!" Naoki Nagayama saw Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta's eyes drifting, and couldn't help but pat him.

"Ah.... Naoki-san, continue!"

"I mean, pull out all the investments related to Recruit that we have!" Naoki Nagayama said, "It's best to complete it in these few months!"

The Recruit bribery case broke out early next year, but who knows when it started to bury the line and close the net.

"This.... stocks are easy to say....."

Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta said,

"However, in the invested real estate projects, it may not be possible to finish throwing them out in a few months!"

"And once our actions are too big, it may attract market attention!"

Tree Friend Capital is no longer a small company in the investment circle now, and every move will be paid attention to by other companies and even the Ministry of Finance.

Previously, Naoki Nagayama stopped buying commercial real estate in China, and then slowly transferred the investment to the United States. In order not to attract attention, it hasn't even transferred half of it yet......

"Hmm...." Naoki Nagayama also understood the actual situation, and said helplessly, "Then try to complete it before the end of the year!"

"Even if you have to lose some profit, you must pull out completely!"

"Hai!" Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta promised Naoki Nagayama, "We will not have any relationship with Recruit left!"

After talking for a long time in Tree Friend Capital, and having lunch with Nakai Zhongjing Yuanta by the way, in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama went towards the Tree Friend Building again.

Except for Tree Friend Capital, Tree Friend Film and Tree Friend Entertainment should have nothing to do with Recruit company, but to ensure safety, it is better to go and give instructions.

And on the other hand, when Tree Friend Film was filming some projects before, it also participated in some "exchanging benefits, you help me, I help you" things with Ministry of Education officials.....

There were even some behaviors of laundering gray income for officials!

Previously, I felt that it was to better deal with government agencies and strive for better budgets, and give convenience in policies, so Naoki Nagayama didn't object..... until he remembered the "Recruit bribery case" today!

Naoki Nagayama felt that during the period affected by the "Recruit bribery case," the government and the public would definitely strictly investigate clues related to bribery.....

So the behaviors involving interest exchange before must be well finished, ensuring that there will be no tails leaking out.

And some behaviors that are in progress must also be stopped completely!

Actually, the Tree Friend Group can live very well by relying on the right path. Those shady means, it is better not to use them if you can......

"Wow wow wow~~~ ah~~~"

The shrill crying came from the room, making people who didn't know think that some inhumane behavior was being carried out inside!

But looking inside, it turned out to be a baby lying in her mother's arms, crying loudly.....

And the doctor in a white coat and the nurse in a pink coat opposite were still talking to the mother with a smile:

"What a full-voiced cry! Akina-chan, your little Xia Hua is very strong!"

"Haha, I think so too!"

Akina Nakamori nodded with a smile, one hand pressing the cotton swab, one hand patting little Xia Hua's chubby butt,

"I was very thin and weak when I was a child, and I was often sick...... I didn't expect Hua-chan to be so healthy!"

"This shows that the nutrition during pregnancy is very balanced, and it has been taken care of very well after birth!"

The doctor threw the vaccine syringe into the waste box, and then recorded it on the health table,

"Okay, little Xia Hua is very healthy, come back for an MR vaccine when she is one year old...."

"Hai, arigato~"

Akina Nakamori put the health table into her handbag, and then walked out of the clinic holding little Xia Hua.

In the corridor, Momoe Yamaguchi was already waiting on the seat. Takahiro Miura was born at the end of 85, and he was almost a year older than little Xia Hua.

But he was also sobbing in his mother's arms now..... getting an injection is not a good experience for all children!

"Akina-chan, is it over?"

Momoe Yamaguchi asked with a smile.

"Mm, very smooth."

Akina held little Xia Hua in one hand and led the bag in the other, looking very relaxed..... the characteristics of a muscle woman could no longer be hidden!

The two chatted while walking to the garage, preparing to take the stroller out of the trunk, and then go for a stroll in the nearby commercial street.

".... Next, let's go shopping!"

Momoe Yamaguchi settled her second son first, her tone was a bit relaxed. As a housewife, there are very few times to come out and relax with friends.

"Ah.... wait a moment." Akina Nakamori put Xia Hua into the stroller, took out a manuscript from behind the seat, "Momoe-san, this is the script of 'Departures,' it's for Tomokazu-san...... Naoki-san knew I was meeting you today, so he asked me to pass it on~"

"A script?" Momoe Yamaguchi glanced at the thick script, nodded and put it in her car, "I will give it to Tomokazu tonight!"

"OK!"

Akina Nakamori pushed the stroller with a smile, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses,

"Next, let's go shopping!"

"Let's go!"

?? I don't know if it's spring sleepiness.... these days I've been sleeping until noon before getting up.....

? The efficiency of typing is not high.... it's all dragged to the night....
