Chapter 1215

A private club in Meguro Ward.

If Ikuo Suo hadn't brought them, Naoki Nagayama and the others would never have heard that there was a club here.

After walking through the plain-looking door from the outside, the interior decoration was classical and elegant, and exquisite to an extreme.

The service staff in the club were also young and beautiful young ladies, each speaking softly and gently, considerate and thoughtful.

"Guests, please walk this way..."

The service staff wearing high-end kimonos led the group to the reserved private room. The spacious Japanese-style room could directly see the courtyard outside. Even at night, one could see the exquisite courtyard styling and the expensive cultural artifacts and ornaments.

"Suo-san, there is such a good place in Meguro River!"

Shuichi Ido was a bit surprised.

"Didn't know before..."

"This is a membership club. Generally, only old members can introduce people to come in, and it is not famous."

Ikuo Suo said.

"I also knew there was such a place when I was dealing with big company tycoons before."

"However, the club owner will definitely welcome famous people like Naoki-san and Shuichi-san. I estimate that when you leave, you will be presented with a membership card..."

"Haha, then thank you very much~"

With Naoki Nagayama's current fame, financial resources, and influence, he could enter most clubs and clubs in Japan, and no one would stop him.

"Suo-san..."

Naoki Nagayama sipped the tea served and asked curiously.

"I don't know much about Mr. Koichi Hamada, I'm worried that I will say something wrong later, can you tell me what kind of person he is?"

"Hamada-san..." Ikuo Suo naturally wouldn't say anything bad. "He is a very straightforward person!"

"Naoki-san don't worry about saying anything to make him angry. For juniors like Naoki-san, Hamada-san has always been very gentle."

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. Thinking about it, he knew that being able to mix from the underworld to politics, and being able to obtain his current position as an independent, Koichi Hamada must be very good at dealing with people.

Just as they were talking, the young lady who received them earlier brought someone towards the Japanese-style room again. As soon as the door was pulled open, the first thing they heard was a burst of hearty laughter:

"Hahaha, Ikuo... you came first! The road was a bit blocked tonight!"

It felt like the feeling of hearing the voice before seeing the person.

"Hamada-san... I didn't come long ago either."

Ikuo Suo acted as an introducer at this time, directly introducing Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido who stood up.

"Come come come, Hamada-san, let me introduce you. This is Naoki Nagayama of Shuyou, and the chairman of the Tokyo Film Industry Association, Shuichi Ido..."

"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san, this is House of Representatives member Koichi Hamada..."

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me..." X3

The bowing and handshaking for the first meeting was indispensable. After the three of them bowed to each other, they were considered to know each other.

After sitting down, Koichi Hamada took a big sip of tea first:

"Hurried over after getting off work, didn't even drink water on the road..."

"What is Hamada-san busy with recently?" Ikuo Suo was a bit strange.

"Isn't it the matter of the change of term... between the Tanaka faction and the Takeshita faction..."

Koichi Hamada didn't seem to treat Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido as outsiders and spoke directly.

"And the establishment of the Keiseikai, consumption bills, etc., in short, it's very troublesome..."

Shuichi Ido knew a little about politics and could understand 50-60%, while Naoki Nagayama was comparing it with the memory in his brain, and he understood the internal situation of the Liberal Democratic Party better.

"These won't affect Hamada-san, right?"

Seeing that the meal had started to be served, Naoki Nagayama poured a glass of wine for Koichi Hamada.

"Whether the Tanaka faction continues to govern, or the Takeshita faction's Keiseikai seizes power, they all have to continue to rely on Hamada-san!"

Koichi Hamada was surprised.

"Haha, it seems Naoki-kun knows about the internal situation of the Liberal Democratic Party!"

"I have been paying attention to these recently." Naoki Nagayama said. "And have had exchanges with some Diet members."

"So that's it~"

Koichi Hamada nodded and no longer treated Naoki Nagayama as someone who didn't understand politics at all.

"Then Naoki-kun, how do you think the situation of the Liberal Democratic Party will develop next?"

"I heard that Noboru Takeshita is a political coordinator, good at compromise and mediation, and has a good relationship with the young and strong faction within the party..."

Naoki Nagayama smiled.

"I think it's natural for him to take over the power..."

"Hmm... political coordinator..."

Japanese culture likes titles very much. Hearing the title Naoki Nagayama said, Koichi Hamada touched his chin.

"Haha, it's really like that guy Takeshita! Naoki-kun, if Takeshita Noboru heard that you gave him such a good title, he would definitely want to toast you!"

Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "Hamada-san is joking~"

At this time, Naoki Nagayama's phone rang. After seeing the caller, he stood up:

"Sumimasen, I'll go out to pick someone up..."

When Naoki Nagayama came back, he had already brought Kaede Nagayama in. Seeing the sturdy Kaede Nagayama enter the Japanese-style room, he bowed deeply:

"Sumimasen, I'm late... the traffic jam during the evening rush hour is very serious..."

"Hahaha~"

Koichi Hamada was amused by the same reason.

"Yes, yes, even if you drive a Mercedes, you should still be stuck in traffic on the road!"

The host and guests didn't stand on ceremony, the atmosphere in the room became very relaxed, and everyone sat down and began to toast each other.

After a few cups of sake, Koichi Hamada's face began to turn red, and his speech became more relaxed:

"Naoki-kun, the 'Legend of Hayato' you filmed is really good! During that time, many old friends were talking about this movie when they gathered... they were all saying that Hayato Nagayama had a good grandson, making his name a legend..."

Naoki Nagayama smiled:

"Grandfather's story was originally very legendary, I just adapted it slightly."

"That's also very lucky!"

Koichi Hamada shouted loudly.

"How many people want to leave their names in history but can't!"

As he said that, he took a big sip of wine and then looked at Kaede Nagayama:

"Kaede-kun... come to think of it, I also heard the name of Hayato Nagayama when I was a child, and later the tentacles of the Nagayama group reached Yamanashi... just didn't expect that such a famous person would leave just like that."

"Grandfather did things for the society with all his heart when he was young and suffered many dark injuries. Even if his physique was strong, he couldn't bear it in his later years..."

Kaede Nagayama felt something in his heart, then glanced at Koichi Hamada.

"I heard that Hamada-san also suffered a lot of injuries when he was young. Now that you have washed your hands clean, you must take good care of your body!"

Koichi Hamada was stunned for a moment, nodded, and raised his wine glass:

"Kaede-kun, you have a heart!"

After finishing, he turned to the others:

"But wine still has to be drunk... drink today's wine today... hahaha~ Come, let's toast!"

"Cheers!!"

A politician must be a person with a flexible mind. When it doesn't involve interests, he can make people feel like a spring breeze. Koichi Hamada looked like a big boss, but he didn't neglect anyone in this dinner party.

Chatting about movies with Naoki Nagayama, chatting about KTV with Kaede Nagayama, chatting about the work of the Film Industry Association with Shuichi Ido, and even chatting a few words about the newcomers of Ikuo Suo's agency.

Until the wine was drunk and the food was tasted, Naoki Nagayama found an opportunity to ask about the main purpose of their banquet today:

"Hamada-san... the Tokyo Film Industry Association supported by Shuyou just submitted a proposal through the Minister of Education, and it has reached the hearing stage, but I didn't expect that there would be sudden opposition from within the Liberal Democratic Party, and they sent people to participate in the hearing..."

"Do you know what the reason is?"

"Haha, after Suo informed me, I specifically went to ask about this matter."

Koichi Hamada gave a favor without changing his face.

"Speaking of which, it's very simple. The current Cabinet is supported by the Tanaka faction, and the one who wants to obstruct you is from the Takeshita faction."

"In this sensitive period of changing terms, Takeshita Noboru probably doesn't want your... eh... 'Proposal for Labor Protection for Film Industry Practitioners' to increase the prestige of the current Tanaka faction..."

"But we haven't contacted anyone from the Tanaka faction, and we don't mean to support the Tanaka faction..."

Shuichi Ido said anxiously.

"We just want the Tokyo Film Industry Association to make a name for itself and make some achievements! At the same time, give some protection to the practitioners in the film industry!"

"Haha, politics doesn't look at your original intention, only at your results."

Koichi Hamada, holding a wine glass, shook his head.

"From the results, if your 'Proposal' is passed, it will definitely gain good support in the entertainment industry... and your 'Proposal' was passed by the Nakasone Cabinet, so that is Prime Minister Nakasone's 'political achievement'!"

"So the Takeshita faction sent people to obstruct it."

Seeing Shuichi Ido's frustrated look, Koichi Hamada comforted him.

"It doesn't matter, after the Takeshita faction comes to power, the resistance to this 'Proposal' will be much smaller... I have looked at the people attached to you, they are all independent Diet members and social celebrities, although there are some Socialist Party members, it is not a threat."

"Is there no way?"

Shuichi Ido sighed. If this "Proposal" is not passed this year, then after the change of term at the end of the year, it will be delayed for another year... By that time, his term as chairman of Shuichi Ido will also be over!

"Hamada-san, can you please say a few good words?"

"Hmm..." Koichi Hamada was noncommittal. "The people of the Takeshita faction are powerful now..."

Hearing him say this, Naoki Nagayama, who had been listening silently, also opened his mouth:

"Hamada-san, we at Shuyou absolutely have no intention of confronting the Takeshita faction... Shu-san just wants to make a contribution to the Tokyo film industry during his term..."

"If we can get Hamada-san to mediate, we will definitely be able to resolve this misunderstanding!"

"Hmm... this, it's not impossible, I still have some face in the party..."

Koichi Hamada said very vaguely. This kind of help without return won't work.

Having mixed in society for so long, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido instantly understood that this was asking for benefits.

However, in politics, even sending gifts requires skills. Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Ido didn't say anything immediately but poured a few glasses of wine and continued to toast.

After a few more glasses of wine, Naoki Nagayama said:

"Hamada-san, the economic development of Japan in recent years is really fast, especially the stock market, which is rising month by month!"

He pointed to Shuichi Ido and smiled:

"Before, didn't the Tokyo Film Association set up a support fund? Under the custody of Shuyou Capital, it has made quite a lot of profit in just a few months!"

Shuichi Ido nodded:

"Yes, yes, the assistance projects of the Film Association have also been successfully carried out."

Naoki Nagayama continued to ask:

"Does Hamada-san play two hands in the stock market?"

"Stock market... of course!" Koichi Hamada nodded with a smile. "Who doesn't put some funds in the stock market in this era?!"

"How is the result?" Shuichi Ido played along.

"I don't have any research on stock speculation, I just followed the trend and bought it." Koichi Hamada shook his head. "Earn some gas money..."

This is not his humility, speculating in stocks to make money can only be adding leverage. Retail investors can probably earn a little pocket money, but it is impossible to make big money!

Besides, Koichi Hamada doesn't rely on the stock market to make money. Part of his money is real estate in his hometown, part is gift money from the underworld, and part is the share sent by people like Ikuo Suo.

Come to think of it, it can't be considered too rich, it can only be said to be an ordinary rich person... So after retiring from politics in his old age, he will go to participate in variety shows...

If you talk about property, it is absolutely impossible to compare with Naoki Nagayama!

"To make money in the stock market, you need professional people to operate it!" Naoki Nagayama smiled. "Also need to provide leverage..."

"Hamada-san, do you want to try opening an account at Shuyou Capital? I will let the most professional investment consultant operate it..."

Naoki Nagayama said while persuading to drink.

"Add a few times of leverage to play around, making money is guaranteed... losing money won't lose the principal..."

"And the money earned from the stock market is absolutely clean!"

Hearing this, Koichi Hamada was a bit moved. As a Diet member, his property needs to be audited... Although receiving gift money is a tradition in Japan, too large an amount will be considered bribery!

Political contributions also have limits... The dividends he got from Ikuo Suo are also limited!

So if there is a clean stock speculation income, this is personal investment income!

"Naoki-san, can you really make money?"

"Of course!" Naoki Nagayama was very confident. "The operation of our Shuyou Capital is very famous!"

Shuyou Capital is now considered a medium-sized investment bank in the financial world, and there are requirements for opening an account.

And starting this year, it has also gained some fame in the international market... because many transactions have gone to the US stock market...

After thinking for a while, Koichi Hamada picked up the wine glass:

"Then I'll trouble Naoki-san! I'll take out the liquid funds when I go back... the subsequent operation, I'll leave it to Naoki-san!"

"Haha, Hamada-san rest assured, I will arrange for someone to connect!"

Naoki Nagayama also raised his glass to toast, the two looked at each other and smiled, and there was no need to say anything else.

Regarding the hearing of the "Proposal", Koichi Hamada will definitely handle it well!

After finishing dinner at the private club, at the invitation of Kaede Nagayama, Koichi Hamada went to a KTV in Roppongi for the next round.

The old guy over fifty was still very energetic in the entertainment venue, singing love songs with the KTV princess who accompanied him without shame, and various yellow jokes made Naoki Nagayama on the side a bit eye-opening.

After finally sending away the drunk Koichi Hamada, he said to Kaede Nagayama who was a bit tipsy:

"See that, the Diet members in Japan are like this... Japan is a country led by this kind of grass-roots team!"

Kaede Nagayama smiled:

"Hahaha, I think Koichi Hamada is quite good, very straightforward..."

"Hehe, that's looking at the money~"

Both were people who had experienced wine bureaus. Shuichi Ido on the side didn't get drunk either, and he became more sober after smoking a cigarette:

"Naoki-san... what if Koichi Hamada can't make the 'Proposal' pass smoothly? Will the Takeshita faction sell him face?"

"It doesn't matter... if the Takeshita faction is still so free to find trouble with us, we will make them have a headache for other things!"

At worst, find someone to poke the clues of the Recruit bribery case to the media, and see if the Takeshita faction, or even the Liberal Democratic Party, has the energy to manage other things then!
