Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 308 Achieve your wish

After returning home and having dinner in the evening, Izumi Sakai looked at her lover who was often in a daze, sat down next to him and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Oh, nothing, just some trivial matters in the company."

Masato Takeshita came back to his senses, smiled in a concealed manner, and then revealed a malicious expression.

"Hey, it's so late now, let's play some fun games."

"You, the child has just fallen asleep, you should be more serious."

Sister Quanshui shyly slapped away her boyfriend's big hands that kept playing tricks on her, then straightened her clothes with a blushing face.

"Isn't love between men and women the most serious thing in the world? This is a major matter involving racial inheritance."

After saying that, the young man picked up his girlfriend horizontally, and then strode back to the master bedroom amid her exclamations.

Tonight, there is destined to be a high-intensity war.

After more than an hour, the girl lazily drew circles on the young man's chest.

"Yaren, where do you think it would be best to send your daughter to school?"

"Well, send her to a regular kindergarten of average standard nearby. It can't be too out of touch with the world."

He could go directly to a top private kindergarten, Zaokei, but that was not necessary for Hui Takeshita.

Masato Takeshita's daughter needs to experience the life of an ordinary person rather than becoming a rich lady directly.

He didn't want his daughter to be so stupid as to ask questions like "Why don't you eat meat?" or the poorest life imaginable is to have a villa and a BBA car.

Of course, it is absolutely not allowed to imagine that ordinary university graduates can rent a duplex house, as shown in many entertainment works in mainland China in later generations.

It makes people angry just looking at it.

However, in order to ensure the safety of my daughter, the Youth Association will directly purchase a kindergarten. When the time comes, insert some security personnel into the kindergarten to ensure the healthy growth of my daughter to the greatest extent.

"An ordinary kindergarten? That's fine too."

Izumi Sakai thought about her kindergarten days and thought this arrangement was a good idea.

Although she will not experience the life of a lady from a wealthy family as she imagined, she might be happier.

In top private kindergartens, the phenomenon of comparison is particularly serious. Once my daughter's family is exposed, she will be surrounded by people who flatter her.

If you choose a kindergarten established by your own company, you will encounter similar situations. It is indeed not as good as ordinary kindergartens.

This will help cultivate my daughter's normal thinking without her receiving any special treatment.

Normal parents always think a lot about their children's education.

The two of them didn't know how long they discussed before they fell asleep with a yawn.

The next morning, the young woman had just finished washing up when her daughter ran to her with her short legs and said in a crisp voice.

"Dad, Dad, I want a hug."

"Okay, okay, daddy will hold you."

Masato Takeshita quickly squatted down, then stood up and walked around with his daughter in his arms with a daughter-loving expression on his face.

"Were you naughty yesterday?"

"No, I'm very good."

Hui Takeshita, wearing a beautiful princess dress, shook her head vigorously, thinking that she was a good girl.

"Then I heard that you broke your mother's guitar with the slippers at home."

Although Izumi Sakai currently only writes lyrics, she still needs an overall understanding of the song, so she often practices guitar at home.

However, I don’t know what kind of performance Takeshita Hui saw, but she actually used a slipper as a pole and played the guitar like a violin, which made her mother very angry.

"Is there? It's definitely not me."

Takeshita Hui looked confused at first, then he affirmed it with confidence.

"Okay, if you say it's not, then it's not."

The young man didn't care, thinking that her mother would be responsible for the matter.

He carried his daughter around for a while until his arms became sore, and then he reluctantly put his daughter on the sofa.

"Go play with your mother. I want to read the newspaper."

"Yeah, I know, Dad."

After saying that, she gave the young man a big kiss on the cheek and then trotted away.

"Slow down, don't run at home."

Masato Takeshita happily wiped the saliva from his face, while not forgetting to give careful instructions.

"I know, Dad."

After watching his daughter leave the hall, the young man opened today's newspaper.

"Well, it seems that Brother Miyamoto is doing very well at Denyousha, and he was able to get such a large order."

"I just don't know if they will have any objections to the sale of Square's shares."

In 1992, Masashi Miyamoto, who gradually lost interest in the gaming industry, began to inherit and develop his own electrical industry.

Masato Takeshita wanted to take over the relevant power, but didn't know how to start.

"Well, let's wait until the end of the year for the Rice Clan gathering."

After reading the news about Denyusha, young people began to pay more attention to the overall economy of Japan.

Except for a few multinational giants in electronics, other companies are mediocre.

However, real estate companies are doing well thanks to the rural revitalization plan.

"Is the enthusiasm for postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams so strong? There are so many education and training institutions advertising in newspapers."

"Sure enough, it is difficult for Xinghai Group alone to reverse the employment situation of Japanese college students."

Once there is a large-scale craze for postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams in society, it means that the overall economic situation is not very good.

In China in the early 21st century, not many people were willing to take the civil service exam, and there were plenty of vacancies.

In the post-epidemic era, finding a job became very difficult, and everyone began to envy those predecessors who easily passed the exam because of the small number of candidates.

Japan is in a similar situation at this time.

A large number of students take civil service exams or postgraduate entrance exams because they cannot find suitable jobs, and the education and training industry takes advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

After breakfast, he came to the company. Masato Takeshita thought about the worrying employment data of college students and prepared to hold a short meeting with senior executives.

"Sakai, go inform the vice presidents that there will be a short meeting at 4pm."

"Yes!"

After arranging his work for this afternoon, Masato Takeshita came to Xinghai Software again.

He has visited frequently since the Xinghai operating system project team moved back to Tokyo.

At first, we commended and rewarded all the project team members, and later we expressed our concern and greetings to everyone.

In particular, the dozen or so Chinese employees were the main objects of his concern.

In a foreign country, he, as a half-fellow villager, must play an active role.

"Everyone has my business card. If you encounter any problem, don't be shy and not call me."

"Many things can be solved early so that there won't be big problems."

The Xinghai operating system project is now the most important part of Xinghai software, and there must not be any major problems.

"Please rest assured, President. We will take the initiative to seek help if we encounter any problems."

Huang Changming, the most important of the Chinese employees and deputy director of the project team's technical department, gritted his teeth and stood up.

There's nothing we can do about it, since he holds the highest position.

"Well, you must remember, don't try to solve it secretly. Many things will become a bottomless pit once they get stuck."

Chinese people in Japan will encounter many temptations, some from locals and some from so-called "fellow countrymen". Especially "fellow countrymen" are the most dangerous and easy to be cheated. This can be regarded as a bloody lesson learned by Chinese people going abroad in the past.

Time passed unknowingly and it was October, the month of harvest, when the Nishikawa family, the largest shareholder of the Mainichi Shimbun, finally gave in.

2000 billion yen. As long as Xinghai Group puts out 2000 billion yen, it can become the major shareholder with a 51% stake.

"Tell Rogers it's okay."

This amount of money is indeed a lot, especially at a time when Japan's economy is in a downward cycle.

But it doesn’t matter. Xinghai Group needs its own media voice, so the more money it spends, the better.

"Understood, President."

The group's legal director, Ryo Asuka, responded respectfully, bowed, and slowly exited.

The change of major shareholders of Mainichi Shimbun was a major event that shocked Japan.

Masato Takeshita doesn't like the spotlight, so he left the signing to Rogers.

"President Rogers, may I ask how your company will operate after acquiring the Daily News?"

Facing the reporter's questions, Rogers, who was well prepared, spoke slowly.

“The Daily News is a great media with a long history and a very mature operating system.”

"We, Xinghai Entertainment, are just a newly established company and will not change the daily news landscape."

“The president is still the president, and the editor-in-chief is still the editor-in-chief.”

“Our investment in Daily News is not aimed at bringing about change.”

"Our company hopes that with the help of Xinghai Group, Daily News can provide more high-quality news content to everyone."

Hearing this, a quick-thinking reporter suddenly asked, "What does President Rogers mean by better content?"

"Sorry, it's still in the planning stage. But soon, everyone will see our results."

Rogers actually didn’t know what the president’s big move was, but since the president had already expressed his position, it must be very important.

"Is there any important reason why Xinghai Group is suddenly focusing on the media industry?"

Of course, Rogers couldn't just say that it was to control media resources and prevent reporters outside from making bad comments.

He smiled methodically and said, "Our company is very optimistic about the development of the entertainment media industry. Not only newspapers and TV stations, but also movies and records are our expansion targets."

The next step for Xinghai Entertainment is to enter the film industry.

The target has been locked on, which is Tokuma Shoten, which has encountered a series of operational problems due to the bursting of the bubble economy.

The predecessor of Tokuma Shoten was the Asahi Entertainment News. After the painstaking management of its president Yasuyoshi Tokuma, it has now become a large company covering the entire cultural and entertainment industry chain.

The main parts include the parent company's book and magazine business; the film distribution business of one of the five major film companies in Japan; and the Ghibli animation that has influenced the world.

In addition, there is also the development of general record business and gaming business.

It can be said that although it is small, it has all the necessary functions and is one of the few Japanese entertainment companies that covers the entire industry chain.

Unfortunately, the bursting of the bubble hit the company hard.

The change of major shareholder of Mainichi Shimbun has had a huge impact in Japan.

Ordinary people may just have more topics to talk about after dinner.

Talking with relish, the pride of our great Japan, Masato Takeshita, is expanding his influence again.

For the media and politicians, it is a very fatal thing.

In the media, Asahi Shimbun was the most nervous.

Because they both belong to the left-wing camp, the two compete with each other for customers.

"President, there's no need to be too nervous. Once a pattern is formed, it will be difficult to break it again."

Within the Asahi Shimbun, the chief writer is very confident in his own company.

He didn't believe that the Daily News could break this pattern.

This kind of thing cannot be accomplished with money.

It requires a change in the general trend of the times, or a competitor making a mistake.

The Mainichi Shimbun made serious mistakes, which led to it losing its identity in the changing times and becoming the third largest newspaper in Japan.

Of course, the eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.

In the 70s, Asahi Shimbun lost its position as the largest newspaper in Japan and even in the world due to a series of wrong decisions.

However, because Asahi Shimbun is more fair and strict, it has the largest number of elite readers, so it is still the number one in Japan in terms of revenue and profit.

"Any company that underestimated Xinghai Group has been crushed by the times. Chaori must not become the next one."

"Hi!"

The president set the tone directly, and Asahi Shimbun naturally became more rigorous internally.

Although there is a big gap between the two companies at present, we still have to be on guard.

The left-wing Asahi was nervous, and the right-wing Yomiuri and Nikkei also began to be on guard against the Mainichi Shimbun.

Because the strengthening of left-wing newspapers will erode right-wing news.

In particular, Watanabe Tsuneo, the alternative president of the news media, Yomiuri, looked very serious.

Because under his leadership, Dumay, who holds a right-wing conservative stance, has begun to move deeper into the left-wing camp.

For example, on issues such as World War II, under his leadership, Utopia openly criticized the Japanese government.

The effect is very good, and the sales of Dumai are increasing steadily.

However, once the Daily News develops with the support of a big tree, it may affect the strategic layout of Dumai.

Although the Japanese newspaper market is large, its resources are limited.

But overall, it is the Fuji Media Group, which has a more right-wing stance, that is the most annoyed.

The Nikkei newspaper in particular is eager to crush the Mainichi Shimbun.

Because the sales volume gap between the two companies is not too big, they are competitors of the same level.

Unlike Yomiuri and Asahi, the gap between them and the latter is very large, so even if they are on guard, they will not be too concerned.

As for politicians, it is even simpler.

Politicians need the publicity power of newspapers so that people can know them. Only when people know you can you have a chance to be elected.

Even Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa called Masato Takeshita with a smile.

"Takeshita-san, you are really generous."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Our company has grown to this point and we really need a global media company."

"Global media?"

Morihiro Hosokawa didn't expect that his younger brother was so ambitious that he actually wanted to become a global media giant.

“Yes, the Japanese newspaper industry is unlikely to change, and we need to expand outward.”

In Japan, a consensus has been formed that those who are on the left should read Asahi, while those who are on the right should read Mai.

Even if the Mainichi Shimbun had the advanced guidance of Masato Takeshita, it could at most sell more copies, but it could not change the current situation.

There is only a slight chance unless there is a major change in the environment.

"That's good. Our media lacks a global perspective."

“Yes, we need a global vision so that Japan and other countries in the world can live in peace.”

He knew what Morihiro Hosokawa wanted, and this was also the direction he was working towards, so he agreed directly and tactfully.

"Good, good, you are worthy of being Takeshita-kun."

"You are very polite, Prime Minister. Let us work together."
