Who are you scolding for eating soft rice?

Chapter 146 147. Osaka sinks into the sea and relies on it
As the center of the Kansai economic circle, Osaka has long occupied the dominant position in Kansai. It can even touch Kanto with the Keihanshin metropolitan area composed of Kyoto and Kobe. Of course, it is just a touch. After all, the behemoth Tokyo is the top. Collection of.

But even so, it is still a giant city that maintains a large number of cultural monuments and can develop its economy.

Although people all over the country are criticized for being uneducated and vulgar, with stingy and vulgar genes flowing in their bones, it does not prevent Osaka from becoming the overlord of Kansai, beating Kyoto and stepping on Kobe.

Staring at the speeding reflection outside the car window, Takitanizawa took his eyes back and looked down at his phone for a long time.

He opened the mobile phone navigation.

Satellites are a great invention. Navigation can make this world free of roadblocks, and this is undoubtedly good news for outsiders going to strange places.

Takitanizawa was coming to Osaka to pick up a handful of Ogi and Reiko and prepare to retire. Of course, he said hello in advance. After all, his behavior of pulling a tiger skin as a banner last time was the key to the two people being able to communicate on an equal footing, so he said hello in advance. Informed the other person of his itinerary.

But what surprised him was that after getting into the car arranged by Reiko Ogimi, he did not go to the city of Osaka, but drove towards Hyogo Prefecture.

If he hadn't remained rational and knew that the other party was going to break up because he suspected him, he would definitely not do it. There was only one driver in the car, and the speed of the car was not fast enough for people to jump out of the car. The brain has escaped, and dying before departure is not romantic, but sad.

Putting aside the danger to others except himself, and thinking calmly and calmly about future trends, Takitani Ze dared to say that this was the most strenuous time he had ever taken since he entered this industry.

Of course it is also the most dangerous one.

Not to mention how terrifying the energy possessed by the consortium, a behemoth that almost enveloped the entire country.

Just compare yourself vertically.

Money without power is enough to restrict the behavior of others, let alone money that has power. When it comes to matters involving life and safety, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious. This is the price paid for greed.

Eating soft food is not easy.

Takitani Ze looked at the silent driver in the front seat and sighed inwardly, then closed his eyes to rest.

10. We arrived at Ashiya Ward, Hyogo Prefecture, [-] minutes later.

The car drove into an ancient mansion. If the building Takitanizawa saw at the Heian Shrine in Kyoto yesterday was comparable to a small townhouse, then this courtyard with a boundary wall that could not be seen from a distance even after getting off the car, can be said to be a small townhouse. It completely refreshed his concept of home.

They say Osaka people are stingy.

How much skill does it take to dig out such a large area?

On the way, Takitanizawa also checked the situation in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, and learned that this area was originally the wealthy area of ​​Osaka and Kobe. Although the land price was not as expensive as Hoshoji Town in Kyoto, it was not much cheaper.

Takitanizawa followed the unsmiling driver in. After passing through the exquisite European-style pure white fountain, an old man with gray hair in a black kimono came up to him.

"Is this the owner's guest?" The old man, with his gray hair neatly combed, looked at the driver in a black suit.

"Yes."

"I see, you go down."

"Yes."

This is similar to the behavior of ancient servants. Everything seems so natural, just like working just for a salary in modern society.

As the driver left, the gray-haired old man turned to look at Takitani Ze. He bowed slightly in an impolite manner, then leaned out half of his body and raised his hand to signal: "The master of the house has told me in advance, please Your Excellency, please follow me to the guest pavilion in the back courtyard."

"It's troublesome." Takiguze's heart sank slightly.

When a person is in an environment that is completely unfamiliar to his or her usual life, it is inevitable to feel nervous.

It wasn't that he was afraid that he would be nervous.

But people from this kind of family are full of ancient aristocratic style, and Takitani Ze is not clear about these things. What he cares about is that he will be exposed to more suspicion in this aspect, making the woman feel that he The words that sounded like a joke last time were deception.

But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired.

The courtyard was really huge, and Takitani Ze followed the old man in front of him for nearly seven or eight minutes before he saw anyone.

But something was different from what he thought.

In the center of a courtyard of nearly four to five hundred square meters is a pond, where orange and red carps are playing with each other. In an open space beside the pond, several silk screens embroidered with red birds have been pulled up, and in the middle are placed There was a low desk, seven or eight people standing around it, and one person was kneeling in front of the low desk.

Wearing a purple and white kimono, Daiichi Reiko sat sideways in front of the main case, with the little girl next to her.

On the crimson lacquered wood low table was a half-played set of Go. Seeing Lianzi, Dayi picked up a sunspot between his index and middle fingers without haste, and dropped it on the chessboard without much hesitation. somewhere.

The delicate little girl held a white coin in her hand and tilted her head, her little face suddenly wrinkled.

But it seems that they have a special agreement. Even a discerning person can see that the little girl hesitates to think about it for a while, but after a certain period of time, she grits her teeth and drops the chess piece. Regardless of whether she made a mistake in this move, it is like timing. Same as the device.

The two of them played chess very rhythmically, and the chess pieces made crisp sounds when they landed on the solid wood chessboard.

And every time the sound fell, the middle-aged man kneeling in a suit and leather shoes in the middle of the open space surrounded by a silk screen embroidered with red birds trembled, and pressed his head tightly against the ground without making any movement.

The falling of each chess piece seemed to hit his already tense heartstrings. The sweat from his back wetted his shirt. After a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back.

"President, give me another chance. I was deceived by Matsushima Hirakora. I didn't mean to!"

"Please give me another chance!"

"I promise that a similar situation will not happen again, and I am willing to sell all my shares. I can retire immediately and take my family to Hokkaido and never come back. President, please forgive me this time."

The middle-aged man kowtowed to the ground with his head as he spoke. His hands lay on the ground to show respect without any movement. Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Takitani Ze could clearly see the blood stains on the other man's head.

Dayi, who was sitting sideways on the main desk, saw Lianzi's red lips slightly opened and dropped the last black piece in his hand.

"But I don't like being lied to."

Her voice is like calm lake water.

Seeing that she finally responded, the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground immediately raised his head excitedly, crawled a few steps forward on his knees, and said sincerely: "President, President, I can jump to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as an internal manager." , please rest assured, I will definitely pass on the information to you as soon as I get the chance, so as to atone for my sins!"

However, the man's words of loyalty did not seem to move Dayi Jianreiko, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Put your hand on the little girl's head and caress it.

"Geyi, you lost again, do you know the reason?"

The little girl who was like a porcelain doll quietly accepted Dayi Jian Reiko's touch. She pursed her lips and said obediently: "My chess skills are not as good as those of my aunt."

Dayi saw Lianzi smiling and shook her head.

She didn't answer the little girl.

Instead, he moved his gaze to the front of Gao An. "How high can you climb at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries? It's just a disposable chess piece. Whether it can be accepted or not seems to be a problem." Dayi said when seeing Reiko.

"I" the middle-aged man looked stunned. Hearing these words for a long time, he couldn't answer, and his whole brain shut down.

About four or five seconds passed.

Seeing Lianzi shaking his head expressionlessly, Dayi withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard one by one, and put them back into the chess bowl, and whispered: "It seems that there is no way to make up for the mistake. ”

"Drag it down and throw it into Osaka Bay."

As her voice fell, the bodyguards in black standing on both sides immediately stepped forward to pick up the middle-aged man who was still kneeling on the ground, and pulled him away without saying a word.

"President! President! Me"

It wasn't until he was lifted up by his arms and dragged a few meters that the middle-aged man realized what he was doing, and started shouting anxiously. However, before he could even say a few words, the bodyguard who was dragging him stuffed something into his mouth.

"Handle it cleanly." Dayi saw Lianzi and ordered another bodyguard in black on the left.

"Yes." The man lowered his head and responded.

Then he also took steps to leave this place.

Seeing Lianzi sighing, Dayi took a sip from the teacup on the low table, and then while stroking the little girl's head, he taught her earnestly: "Geyi, don't be soft-hearted towards those who dare to betray and deceive you. Because being soft-hearted will only harm yourself, you need to deal with it cleanly and make others fear you. You must establish your dignity and establish rules with substantive behavior."

"What if they are not afraid?"

Dayi asked when Ge Yi tilted her head.

Dayi smiled when she saw Lianzi, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "Silly boy, it doesn't matter if people are afraid of people who have disappeared from this world, just be yourself."

"I understand." The little girl nodded seriously.

After chatting in a low voice for a few more words, Dayi saw that Reiko seemed to have some free time. He raised his head and glanced towards Takiguzawa and nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, please."

The gray-haired old man bowed and said.

Dayi Mi Reiko asked the gray-haired old man just now to take the little girl named Dayi Mi Reiko out, then waved his sleeves to keep the remaining four bodyguards away, and then signaled to come forward. Takitani Ze sat down at the side table.

"I'm sorry, we were dealing with some matters and we happened to bump into each other at the same time. It was really a shame to expose the family scandal."

Just happened to bump into each other at the right time?
If you don't want to hit me sooner or later, you have to hit me now?

Could it be more obvious to kill a chicken to scare a monkey?
There is no doubt that Dayi's behavior when he saw Lianzi just now was a silent slap on him. After all, people like them wouldn't go to such trouble even if they really wanted to throw people into the sea to feed the fish, and they still did it in front of him. When making decisions, a phone call or an instruction to a subordinate can often get the job done.

In front of him, he said that he would throw the person into the sea, and he also taught the child just now as if he was teaching him earnestly.

Takiyazawa has truly entered the tiger's den.

However, this situation was also within his expectation.

After all, the reason last time was too bizarre. Even if it was pulling the skin of other consortiums, which consortium with bad brains would allow a young man to use his beauty to get close to someone like Da Yi Jian Reiko who is very powerful at first sight? Even a fool would not believe that a middle-aged woman was throwing away almost unlimited money to others.

Even if everything is true, it is not credible that Takitanizawa also said that he was collaborating to deceive his illusory backer. No matter how you think about it, it is full of loopholes.

But the reason is just a deterrent.

This also sent a signal to Takitani Ze.

That means she doesn't completely disbelieve it.

In fact, it's normal. After all, Takitani Ze's family knows his own affairs best. When he printed out his resume from childhood to adulthood, it was unremarkable without any doubts. He could even be said to be at the bottom of society. , but unfortunately many large sums of money have been deposited into the bank account recently, and they are all overseas funds. I am afraid that even Dayi Jianlianzi may not be able to find out where the money came from.

There is truth in the logic full of doubts.

This is probably why she is still willing to see him, but Takitani Ze still feels a little tricky.

"Long time no see, Dayi meets Sang."

Takiyazawa sat down cross-legged with a calm expression.

Seeing Lianzi playing with the porcelain cup, Dayi whispered softly in an unpredictable tone: "How long? It seems that it hasn't even been a week, and you are impatient now? Or is there someone urging you behind your back?" you?"

"It's me pushing myself."

Takitani Ze remained calm, and even picked up a porcelain cup from the lacquered wood table and poured himself some tea.

"Oh?" Dayi narrowed her eyes when she saw Lianzi.

"When doing business, both parties will always benefit in order to be sustainable, but this kind of opportunity is rare. It is so hard to get this kind of opportunity. I can't just watch it."

"Are Tokyoites so wealthy?"

Takitanizawa took a sip of tea, and the sweet smell of black tea spread in his mouth. After tasting it, he said: "I am not from Tokyo. In fact, compared to being tired and half-dead and worried about making money like this, I would rather Get a solid and warm support.”

"I didn't see that you were worried."

"The sentence before the turning point is non-key content. I just said that I want someone to rely on." He added another sentence.

Seeing that Lianzi finally put all the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess bowl, Dayi lifted the chessboard and threw it aside and said softly: "How dare you think about it."

"How can it be possible if I don't even dare to think about it?"

Takiyazawa looked into her eyes without any stage fright.

The two looked at each other in mid-air.

After seeing that Reiko didn't get any useful information from Takiguzawa's eyes, Dayi nodded slightly and said: "That's the truth."

However, she suddenly changed the subject:
"But before we talk business, I still have a question that I want you to help me solve."

"What's the problem?" Takiya Ze asked.

Seeing that the smile on Lianzi's face faded, Dayi suddenly stood up from the futon and approached him, finally stopping about thirty centimeters away from him.

"What medicine did you give me last time?"
