Chapter 1214

Shuichi Ido found Naoki Nagayama during the lunch break and informed him about the changes in the hearing.

"Naoki-san..."

Shuichi Ido was a bit worried.

"The Diet members for the hearing changed suddenly, and they are members of the Liberal Democratic Party. Will there be problems in the end? Clearly, our proposal was submitted through the Minister of Education... The Cabinet has already passed it..."

"Hmm..."

Naoki Nagayama thought about it at this time. Come to think of it, in the two years of '87 and '88, it seemed to be the time for the change of factions within the Liberal Democratic Party.

The "Tanaka faction," which had long occupied a leading position within the Liberal Democratic Party, suppressed young juniors for a long time, and had grievances with the "Takeshita faction" formed by the young backbone of the Liberal Democratic Party led by Noboru Takeshita.

Prime Minister Nakasone changed the original election system and directly designated Noboru Takeshita as the President of the Liberal Democratic Party, which made the undercurrents within the Liberal Democratic Party surge...

Of course, Naoki Nagayama heard about these things from a certain big brother in the government, and he didn't really know much about the things inside.

However, there was one point: Noboru Takeshita was currently the young and strong within the Liberal Democratic Party and was forming the Keiseikai, which was the time when he was in high spirits... and the Nakasone Cabinet was basically people from the Tanaka faction.

"It might be a problem within the Liberal Democratic Party." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. "Shuichi-san, contact Ikuo Suo... ask about the crux of the matter."

Ikuo Suo was currently a standing committee member of the Tokyo Film Industry Association and also the designated next chairman, so he naturally had responsibility for this proposal.

Moreover, Ikuo Suo had a close relationship with the House of Representatives member Koichi Hamada within the Liberal Democratic Party and knew more about the factional disputes within the Liberal Democratic Party.

"Hai..."

Naoki Nagayama added another sentence:

"It's best to deal directly with Koichi Hamada... he seems to be an independent..."

"Then I will prepare to entertain Koichi Hamada... Naoki-san must come too!"

"No problem."

Koichi Hamada was actually from a second-generation underworld background and was pushed into politics to change his family's status. Come to think of it, this situation was somewhat similar to Naoki Nagayama's, and maybe he even had a connection with his grandfather Hayato Nagayama.

"In the evening, I can also invite Big Brother Kaede..."

The KTV that Kaede Nagayama opened now could be said to have contact with both black and white paths. Originally, there was a Diet member from the Ono family as a backer, but now that his grandfather had passed away, getting to know more Diet members would also provide more paths.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

His cousin Kaede Nagayama, who also lived in Tokyo, had passed the grief of his relative's passing, and with the newborn daughter Sayuri to worry about, he had now transformed from a novice father to an experienced father.

Of course, the KTV business was also booming, but because more and more people were opening KTVs and karaoke, and after the relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi was broken, there were more and more competitors, which diluted the profitability of the Melody chain KTV a lot...

There were also more troublesome things to deal with~

"What, someone is making trouble again?!"

Kaede Nagayama at the company headquarters received a call from the Ebisu branch. In the phone, Shogo Hamasaki said:

"Yes, it's the representative of the society again, coming over to say they want to collect some cleaning fees...

Also said they want to hand over the valet parking business to them..."

In Hong Kong movies, you can often see societies monopolizing the valet parking business on a certain street. Although it looks low-end, it can indeed support many underworld members.

"How is that possible! Valet parking is very important!"

Kaede Nagayama shook his head. Although valet parking doesn't count as too much money, it belongs to an important part of the KTV brand service and may also involve the privacy of some guests. How could it be handed over to outsiders casually?

Besides, after handing the car to them, whether it can be returned in time is a problem...

Shogo Hamasaki on the receiver was also very helpless. It is so difficult for the underworld to wash their hands clean, and his original intimidation methods could no longer be used.

"And the cleaning fee... we have already paid the cleaning fee to the Construction Bureau!

Protection fee is protection fee, why change the name?! Is it hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat?!"

Kaede Nagayama was a bit angry as he spoke, and suddenly thought of something.

"It's the Sumiyoshi-kai again! Seeing that we broke contact with the Yamaguchi-gumi, they want to come up and take a bite?!"

Sumiyoshi-kai is a local gang in Tokyo, second only to the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan.

An industry like KTV, which has no core technology and only relies on land and decoration to wait for money, is naturally a cake that many people are jealous of.

Shogo Hamasaki didn't make a sound, because it was originally like this, but he put forward a more constructive opinion:

"Boss Kaede, do you want me to find a few brothers to finish off the people who came to the door?! Give the Sumiyoshi-kai a lesson?"

I don't know why, Shogo Hamasaki said a bit excitedly.

"Even if the brothers put down their knives, it's still possible to tie someone up and let him swim in Tokyo Bay!!!"

"People come to discuss collecting protection fees, and you want to finish him off directly?!

Hamasaki-san... do you think I'm a natural-born killer?!"

Kaede Nagayama was a bit helpless and broken. His own old team members hadn't been away from the underworld for long, and their heads were still full of fighting and killing.

He had to rely on them to operate KTVs, and at the same time prevent them from doing things according to the old set... It's really too difficult!

Regarding this matter, Kaede Nagayama could only explain to Shogo Hamasaki bit by bit:

"Can we try to find someone to discuss with them first, let them not come to provoke us, at worst give a little bit...

If we can't talk, then find brothers to beat them up and give them a lesson, that's enough...

Everyone is just for making money, no need to be so bloody!"

Shogo Hamasaki on the receiver spoke in a low voice:

"Boss Kaede, we talked, we couldn't talk... we also found people to teach them a lesson, their leg bones were broken and they were lying in the hospital, but they changed someone and came again..."

"Ah? They aren't even afraid of broken legs?!"

Having experienced a lot in the business world over the years, Kaede Nagayama was silent for a while, but still suppressed his anger.

"Hamasaki-san, go help me make an appointment with the boss of the Sumiyoshi-kai, let's talk and see if we can negotiate a solution.

Everyone is for making money, no need to do it so excessively..."

"If it still doesn't work, then find Diet member Ono, let him put pressure on the police station and have the Sumiyoshi-kai boss arrested!

The sponsorship we donated to the police station wasn't donated in vain!!!"

Since they have washed their hands clean, they naturally cannot use the old underworld solution. It's a society ruled by law, so naturally, they can call the police! It just depends on whether your relationship can make the police move~

The Ono family is also a very powerful big family in Tokyo, and now they are also shareholders of Melody KTV. The profits they have shared in the past few years are not a small number.

In general, Kaede Nagayama wouldn't go to them. Ordinary little gangsters could be solved by himself, but the Sumiyoshi-kai must have contact with politics, so he needed him to take action.

If it still doesn't work, isn't there cousin Naoki Nagayama~

"Hai... I'll go contact the Sumiyoshi-kai!"

After hanging up the phone, Kaede Nagayama leaned on the boss's chair and rubbed his temples. He, who hadn't read many books, was already very difficult to maintain such a big family business, not to mention that his wise helper Heart Nagayama now spent more time taking care of his daughter.

"How does Naoki manage such a big foundation? Clearly he only went to high school?!"

An entertainment group company, an investment company, overseas investments, and countless nightclubs, shops, and other industries, not to mention publishing books, writing songs, filming movies, etc...

"Is the gap between people so big?! Or is it that Naoki is not human..."

Otomo Yoshimura, who was burying his head in work in the office at this time, couldn't help but sneeze... then looked up at the documents on the desk and sighed.

"Ring ring ring~"

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. Kaede Nagayama heard the phone on the desk ring again.

"Moxi Moxi, this is Melody,..."

"Big Brother Kaede, it's me!"

Naoki Nagayama's voice came from the receiver, making Kaede Nagayama shudder.

He had just gossiped in his heart, and the main person came to the door?! It's even more worrying!

"Ah... is it Naoki!!! Hahaha, I was just thinking about you, and you actually called!!"

"Ah?" Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised. "Does Big Brother Kaede have something to do with me?!"

"Ah, there's not too much, it's just that I haven't seen little niece Hua-chan for a long time, I miss her!"

Kaede Nagayama found a reason casually.

"I was just about to take Sayuri to Shanying Yuan to play!"

"Is that so... then I'll wait anytime!" Naoki Nagayama also responded with a smile, and then said the focus of the call today. "Big Brother Kaede, are you free tonight?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Want to invite you to meet someone together..." Naoki Nagayama didn't hide it. "It's House of Representatives member Koichi Hamada, he is from the underworld, have you heard of him?"

"Koichi Hamada..." Kaede Nagayama thought seriously. "It seems there was a Hamada in Yamanashi Prefecture... but there hasn't been any big news for a long time..."

Shizuoka and Yamanashi are not too far away, maybe they really had dealings.

"Then it should be correct! People have long since given up the underworld and washed their hands clean to develop in politics... Now he is a House of Representatives member, and also a backbone of the Liberal Democratic Party..."

"Oh? So amazing?"

It sounds like it's similar to what the Nagayama family is doing now! And it's almost successful. The next generation of the Hamada family is already a politician!

"Hmm... I made an appointment with him tonight to talk about the 'Labor Protection Proposal'... I want to invite you together..."

Naoki Nagayama explained.

"We have similar experiences, we should be able to make friends... It's also good for Big Brother Kaede's company later..."

"Good!"

Kaede Nagayama agreed without hesitation. The development of Melody KTV really needs more political backers!

And this is what Naoki came to tell him!

"That's good... then I'll let the driver pick you up tonight..."

"Then I'll wait at home!"

In the office of the Diet Building, Koichi Hamada had just finished handling the matters at hand when he received a call from Ikuo Suo.

Ikuo Suo was once his driver, a person with a very flexible brain, and then after going out, he established the Burning Agency, and with the relationship accumulated over a few years as a driver, he made it very prosperous, almost becoming one of the leaders in the entertainment industry.

Of course, the filial piety behind the scenes had never been less, so the relationship with Koichi Hamada had been very good until now.

"President Suo, how did you think of calling me?"

Although Koichi Hamada was a backbone within the Liberal Democratic Party, that was obtained by participating in the famous "40-day struggle" of the Diet. He was transformed from the underworld directly into a politician, with a fiery and distinct personality, and no foundation, belonging to an independent.

So the factional changes within the party recently didn't affect him.

"Ah, long time no see... so I want to invite Hamada-san for a drink!"

Ikuo Suo spoke very thoughtfully.

"By the way, I want to introduce a few young people to Hamada-san!"

"Oh? Young people? Is it a newcomer?"

Ikuo Suo had also engaged in pillow business before, and Koichi Hamada thought it was a new artist from the agency who was about to debut.

"Ah... no no... this time it's a man..."

Ikuo Suo said hurriedly.

Koichi Hamada was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a bit strange.

"President Suo, I am not like that guy Kitagawa of Johnny's... I don't like this kind of thing!"

"..." "Eh..."

Ikuo Suo felt that the more he explained, the more outrageous it became.

"Hamada-san, it's really to introduce a few young people with talent and ability... want to get to know you..."

"Ah... is that so!"

Koichi Hamada understood. It's about building connections! However, Koichi Hamada's connections aren't something just anyone can build!

"Who is it?"

"It's Naoki Nagayama of Shuyou, Shuichi Ido... and cousin Kaede Nagayama of the Nagayama family, the president of Melody KTV..."

Ikuo Suo didn't mean to hide anything at all on this point and even stated the purpose.

"Mainly for a proposal from the Tokyo Film Industry Association recently... Hamada-san, you know, I am also a standing committee member of the Film Industry Association... and the designated next chairman..."

"Proposal..."

Koichi Hamada recalled it and thought of the fact that it seemed that in the party meeting, Noboru Takeshita's secretary seemed to have mentioned it.

"Alright, I understand... is it still at the old place?"

"Of course... I'll send a driver to pick you up..."

"Hmm..."

After hanging up the phone, Koichi Hamada thought silently.

As someone who had washed his hands clean from the underworld and reached his current position in politics, his brain was not just full of muscles... The image in the Diet was specially displayed for others to see!

He had also watched the hit "Legend of Hayato" and envied becoming the underworld legend Hayato Nagayama. That was a name left in film history!

This time, Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama, whom he was going to meet, were both descendants of the underworld and were very capable, naturally standing on a similar position to him...

"The matter of the 'Proposal'... did some accident happen?!"

Koichi Hamada stood up and decided to find someone to ask about it. In the party, his straightforward personality also made many drinking friends.

Although they might not give much help in major matters, asking for news was still possible.

"If I know the reason, maybe this is a good opportunity to sell a favor!"

Shuyou Group, Melody KTV Association, Tokyo Film Association, all are now very famous big groups, and the name Naoki Nagayama is even more famous...

Koichi Hamada started from the underworld, but he was not young anymore, and the relationship between his son Yasushi Hamada and the underworld was even weaker...

If he wants to continue to develop in politics in the future, he really needs support from the financial world and the outside world!

Soon, Koichi Hamada returned to the office and tapped his fingers on the desk...

"Related to the Takeshita faction..."

"Should I intervene in this matter? What benefits can it bring me?"

After thinking for a long time without any results, in the end, Koichi Hamada gave up:

"Forget it, let's meet Naoki Nagayama and the others tonight and see!"
