Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 178 The last stunning beauty of the Showa era

When he heard this name, Takakura Bunta remembered that Mimihaki PMC Company was recently purchasing land in Chitose City and building a supply base, which was to have business contacts with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's Seibu Group.

The world's richest man, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, is the child of the extramarital affair of Yasujiro Tsutsumi, a major financial backer of the Tanaka clan in the Diet and a wealthy man.

In 1964, he took over his father's main property over his two brothers who had more inheritance rights than him. He stayed dormant for 10 years without changing his father's policy, and later bought one-sixth of Japan's land for real estate development.

The group has more than 170 large-scale enterprises with more than 50 employees, and its business involves various industries such as railways, transportation, department stores, real estate, restaurants, schools, and research institutes. In the ranking of the world's richest entrepreneurs published by the famous financial magazine "Forbes", Yoshiaki Tsutsumi ranked first in the world twice in 1987 and 1988.

At its peak, his Seibu Group had 10 employees, industries all over Japan, and a fortune of US$1650 billion, making him the richest man in the world.

…………

The Hatoyama, Murayama, and Yuki factions supported by Totland Capital PAC (Political Action Committee) once clashed with the local Tanaka faction in elections in Oita City, in the northeastern part of Kyushu.

Among the three major forces in the Japanese Parliament, the pro-American right-wing force is the strongest, occupying 172 seats. The local faction has been severely weakened after encountering continuous attacks by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office. It currently holds 70 seats, and the centrist faction is the weakest. , only 6 seats available.

Under such circumstances, the centrist Yuuki faction defeated the pro-American right-wing Jun Ashida in the Hokkaido election, and offended the Tanaka faction in the Oita City election in Kyushu. The strategic situation was quite unfavorable.

“There are paparazzi from sports magazines (gossip magazines).”

"Wense domineering?...Mr. Gao Cang, you are so funny...hahaha"

"Let me introduce to you how to play the bird card by the way..."

If Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of the Seibu Group, the big financier of the Tanaka clique, is willing to mediate, he should be able to break through the strategic dilemma, reconcile with the local Tanaka clique, and fight against the pro-American right-wing forces with all his strength.

Iijima Ikuko dialed the phone, chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and said: "Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has something to do. He is missing three and one, so he asked his friend to take his place... How about we rest in the car for a while?"

…………

…………

Iijima Ikuko turned over and turned around, sat up, flipped her hair and said.

Iijima Ikuko quickly looked over there, and sure enough, there was a private car with two people sitting in it. They looked sneaky and were squatting with long guns and short cannons.

Iijima Ikuko looked around for a long time and asked in confusion: "Where can I find it?"

The close contact with Ikuko Iijima made both Bunta Takakura's minds energetic.

Ikuko Iijima laughed like a silver bell, wearing a red dress with long wheat-colored legs, and quietly moved to the base of Bunta Takakura's legs.

The car was parked in a slightly off-center location, so you couldn't spot it unless you looked carefully, but at the same time, it faced the door downstairs where Ikuko Iijima was, and you could see all the people coming and going.

In the 20s, in a market that was all about white and slim skin, her wheat-colored and healthy image became a major selling point and captured the hearts of many men.

Takakura Bunta tried to move his legs and reminded: "Call Yoshiaki Tsutsumi to remind you."

"My five senses are very keen. I can detect the breath and emotional changes of the surrounding creatures. I can also use it to predict and avoid danger... It can be called the Haki of seeing and hearing."

"?"

"Mr. Gao Cang, how did you find out?"

Arriving at Ikuko Iijima's house in Ebisu Street, Ikazi Iijima was about to get out of the car when she was stopped by Bunta Takakura.

Bunta Takakura pointed out the car: "Did you see the car next to the big tree?"

Takakura Bunta accepted the appointment again, and the two finished recording the MV and went to Iijima Ikuko's residence.

Some time ago, Ikuko Iijima broke up with her twelfth boyfriend, who was a manager of an advertising company. He coaxed her into signing a contract and even pocketed hundreds of millions of yen in advertising fees.

After this incident, Iijima Ikuko completely gave up on love.

She began using dolls from the metaverse heavily and found comfort among her exes.

Exes came one after another, practicing the principle that if you love a girl, don't let the water flow out of her eyes...

…………

Although it is a public transportation system, there are free rides. Takakura Bunta was not polite either.

....................................

After Takakura Bunta and Iijima Ikuko completed the car-machine linkage, the paparazzi squatting at the front door had already left, and the two got out of the car and arrived at a courtyard.

When Takakura Bunta saw Ikuko Iijima walking steadily and not needing support at all, he couldn't help but give Iijima Ikuko a high look.
She is indeed the queen of art films.

With this BUG-level physical fitness, if there were a movie Olympics, Ikuko Iijima would be the Jamaican athlete in track and field.

…………

When the two arrived at the house, Yasuko Sawaguchi and Moriko Wada were chatting in the living room, and the housekeeper was making tea.

Yasuko Sawaguchi is known as the last "beautiful woman" in the Showa era, and is also known as Japan's second "Hara Setsuko".

Setsuko Hara is a representative of Japan's strength and appearance. She has never been married. She is Japan's Millennium Goddess, Showa Sadonna. She is also the lover of the five-star Emperor MacArthur and the royal tiger cannon.

"Shukan Bunshun" commented that Yasuko Sawaguchi is a unity of classical beauty and modern beauty. She is often called the most beautiful woman in the Showa era. Although her influence is far less than that of Yamaguchi Momoe, her appearance can be said to be "stunningly beautiful and a stunner in the world." ", that's not an exaggeration.

Now at the peak of Sawaguchi Yasuko's career, Emperor Naruhito once said that Sawaguchi Yasuko was the lover of her dreams, and the world's richest man Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also launched a fierce pursuit of her.

In this poker game, Yasuko Sawaguchi took over Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's vacancy as his "female friend".

…………

Wada Moriko started her career as a rock music singer in a coffee shop in Osaka after dropping out of high school. She was later discovered by an entertainment company and went to Tokyo to develop her career. She became famous with the song "The Loneliness of the Starry Sky".

In 1969, he released a new song "In the Rain" and attracted the attention of the music industry with his magnetic singing ability.

In 1972, he topped the music charts with the song "You Are the One Who Rings the Bell" and won the Best Vocal Award at the Japan Record Awards that year. He is regarded as the ancestor of the R&B (rhythm and blues) soul style in the Japanese music scene. .

This year's 1997 NHK Red and White Song Festival, Wada Moriko is the host of the red team.

…………

When they saw Takakura Bunta and Iijima Ikuko come in, they immediately put down the barley tea and cakes in their hands and began to greet them on the mahjong table.

The trend of Japanese mahjong originated in 1965. The novelist Tetsu Asada began serializing the "Mahjong Wanderings" series in "Weekly Public". Then Asada, Kojima Takeo, Furukawa Kaishou and others formed the Mahjong Shinsengumi, which was published in "Weekly Public". A celebrity battle begins in "Popular".

In the same year, two magazines, "Modern Mahjong" and "Pro Mahjong", were officially launched.

The "Highest Position Battle" of the Pro Championship sponsored by Kadokawa Shoten kicked off.

During this period, many college students and office workers became familiar with Mahjong as a tool for easy pocket money and business communication.

There are not only comics and TV series, but there are tens of thousands of bird shops all over the country in Japan. After dinner and after work, small groups of people will gather in the bird shops, and occasionally there will be interesting games.

Therefore, the Japanese people's love for playing mahjong is deep in their hearts.

…………

In Japanese mahjong, a round is the smallest unit of length. Named after "Southeast, Northwest" and "One, Two, Three, Four", the banker in the same round is the same person. Usually there are eight rounds of Japanese mahjong, namely East 1, East 2, East 3, East 4, South 1, South 2, South 3, and South 3 and 4, which is called the southeast game.

If there is a consecutive dealer, it will not enter the next round, but is called "XX round m this game". For example, the banker in the southern round wins three games in a row, which is "South first round 3 this round".

The four of them played a few games. Bunta Takakura didn't know much about mahjong, so she relied entirely on luck. With the abundant new players, she made a small profit of tens of thousands of yen, and she felt very happy.

The other three people were a little bored.

Especially Yasuko Sawaguchi. She is now among the world's richest man, the crown prince, dignitaries, and business tycoons. She can easily win millions of yen in chips, as well as some of the latest popular games...

This little game of 5,000 yen is really boring.

"It's so boring. Do you want to play the latest Diablo game?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi won a bunch of flowers for 5000 yen, fiddled with her nails and said boredly.
