Chapter 1214: Self-Reliance?
That's right, four years, it's not a short time.
How many four years are there in life?
And now, Noboru Takegami is 59 years old, and it will definitely be too late this year, if you don't accumulate strength in advance now, four years later, Noboru Takegami will be 63 years old.
If you haven't gone up by then, you'll have to wait another four years.
Or pray that the prime minister from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will also step down and seek a successor.
But to seek a successor, you also need to have enough supporters, and if you don't have enough power, why should you succeed you?
Now Noboru Takegami is still pressed by Kakuei Tanaka, and he can't control his autonomy, let alone the head of a faction, so how can he compete with other factions?
If Takegami can't ascend, then as a disciple of Takegami Deng, it is difficult for others to be willing to support him to go up, which involves his political career.
Now that he is 46 years old, he is one of the slower members of parliament with him, and his master, Noboru Takekami, was the same age as him, and he had already entered the cabinet.
So he also had to prepare in advance!
If there is the support of a large enterprise at the level of Nomura Securities, there is no need for dozens, even if only a few are willing to fully support Takekami, it is enough to improve Takegami's strength and heritage, and have greater confidence to develop allies and cultivate the backbone of the party.
Long......
Keizo Obuchi's thoughts gradually became clearer, and his mood gradually calmed down.
He straightened his glasses and said to Junpei Hinata with a solemn expression, "Junpei-kun, I will tell Takekami-kun what you and your friends mean. ”
Junpei Hinata smiled and bowed: "Obuchi-kun, then I'll trouble you." ”
With that, he took out two business cards from his pocket, handed them to Keizo Obuchi, and said, "Obuchi-kun, this is my private business card with my satellite-encrypted landline number on it." ”
"You or Xiao Yuan-kun can contact me through this number!"
Keizo Obuchi solemnly took the two business cards and said, "Okay, thank you!"
"Here's my business card!"
After putting the business card in the inner pocket of the suit, Keizo Obuchi also took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Junhei Hinata with both hands: "Junpei-kun? Is this my business card? Please accept it. ”
......
After the dismissal, Junpei returned home and reported to Xia Yu on the situation tonight through an encrypted phone.
And Keizo Obuchi thought about it at home for a night? The next day at work, thinking about this during the day? I finally got my way of thinking.
Then, in the evening, he visited Noboru Takegami, who was at home with fruits and small gifts.
"Teacher? I'm coming!"
"What other gifts do you bring, come and sit down!"
Seeing Keizo Obuchi arrive? A happy smile on the face of Noboru Takekami's doll? Beckoning his beloved disciples to come. (Takegami is indeed a baby face, you can Baidu Takeshita on your own)
"Is there a lot of pressure at work during this time?"
"You didn't have any big problems, did you?"
After Keizo Obuchi sat down, Noboru Takegami asked with concern.
Keizo Obuchi shook his head and said, "Teacher, isn't the work pressure too big?" Am I also growing in my work? I've encountered some problems so far, but I've been able to solve them myself. ”
Hearing Keizo Obuchi say this, Noboru Takegami smiled with satisfaction and smiled happily: "That's good, you have a lot of potential?" As long as you settle down and continue to work hard, you will definitely be able to surpass me in the future!"
Keizo Obuchi said modestly, "The teacher will always be my guiding light?" I just want to follow you and be taught by you. ”
Although Noboru Takegami was happy in his heart, he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "You can't think like that? You have surpassed me and will only prove that I am useful to your teachings. ”
......
After a little chat? Noboru Takegami took the initiative to ask, "Keizo? You say there's something important to tell me? What's the matter?"
Keizo Obuchi's smile quickly retracted, and after taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "Teacher, last night, Junhei Hinata Hinata, the president of Nomura Securities Company, asked me out for dinner, and we talked for a long time. ”
Nomura Securities!
Noboru Takegami frowned slightly, his expression became serious, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is it a matter of Junhei Hinata or a matter of the Sanwa Foundation?"
Noboru Takegami has a certain understanding of the six major consortia and major families in the island country, especially for the six consortia, and he will pay attention to the latest situation from time to time.
He knew very well that after World War II, the emperor was sanctioned by Europe and the United States, the rights of the imperial family of the island country have been reduced to the ground, the politics of the island country has become the politics of the consortium, and politicians without capital support cannot be prime ministers.
He has also been trying to get the full support of a certain consortium, but has been unsuccessful, and the support of the consortium has gone to the head of the faction, Kakuei Tanaka.
And the Sanwa Foundation is now fully supporting the Miki faction, and suddenly found Keizo Obuchi, is it ......
Just when Takegami Deng's heart fluctuated, he was immediately poured cold water by Keizo Obuchi.
Keizo Obuchi shook his head and said, "Last night, he didn't mention the Sanwa Foundation, but only Nomura Securities. ”
Hearing this, Noboru Takegami couldn't help but show regret.
The gap between a Nomura securities company and the entire Sanwa consortium is too big......
"What is the main purpose of Junpei Hinata?"
Due to some disappointment, Noboru Takekami's inquiring tone was a little casual.
But Keizo Obuchi's next answer lifted his spirits again.
"Teacher, Junpei Hinata wants me to pass on a message to you, they have a lot of resources at Nomura Securities and some other companies, and they are considering it. ”
"He didn't say what the resources were, he just told me with great certainty that they had more resources than we could have imagined. ”
"Unbelievable ......"
Noboru Takegami squinted, chewing on the word in his mouth, and although his eyes were squinting, it seemed that the light in his eyes was getting brighter and brighter.
Nomura Securities and those unknown companies are ready to invest heavily in politics, and they obviously have a crush on themselves as someone who does not have the support of a consortium.
After thinking for a long time, Noboru Takegami suppressed some surging emotions in his heart, and asked again: "In addition to these, what else did Junpei Hinata say? You tell me everything!"
"Yes!"
"Junhei Hinata said that he knows that your current position is a bit awkward, in the Tanaka faction, it is difficult for you to get ahead, and you need enough strength to support you if you want to break free from the chains. ”
And he also mentioned the House of Representatives election at the end of the year, saying that if you don't take advantage of this opportunity, then you will have to wait another four years. ”
"In the end, he also gave me two private business cards with his satellite-encrypted landline number on them, saying that if you or I have something, you can make this call. ”
After speaking, Keizo Obuchi took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over, and Noboru Takegami immediately received it in his hand.
After looking at the business card with only one name and one number for a few seconds, Noboru Takegami put it aside, and it was clear from his actions that he attached great importance to this business card.
After thinking for a long time, Noboru Takegami looked at Keizo Obuchi, who was waiting quietly, and asked, "Keizo, tell me what you think." ”
Keizo Obuchi had long been accustomed to this way of teaching by his teacher, and he said the results of his thoughts last night and during the day today: "Sensei, I think that Junhei Hinata and the forces behind him want to support you and establish a close relationship with you. ”
"It's just that they haven't made up their minds completely, and they obviously want to take the initiative and let you take the initiative to go to them. ”
"And from his attitude, he wants you to become independent from the Tanaka faction and form your own faction to prepare for the future election for prime minister. ”
"I think what they care about the most is the last point. ”
"Teacher, that's all I understand. ”
Takegami looked appreciative and said, "Your analysis is very correct, and their purpose should be these." ”
"It's just ......"
Speaking of which, Noboru Takegami didn't go any further.
He stood up, walked to the bedside, opened the curtains, and looked through the glass at the starry sky outside.
He understands the concerns of Junpei Hinata and others, and if it were him, he would not choose to invest in a politician who does not have the right to dominate and have complete freedom, because this represents a risk for the capitalists.
So now he is also facing a choice, is it the time to stand on his own?
Just a Nomura Securities Company can't make him make up his mind, and his influence is not enough!
I just don't know what other companies are behind Nomura Securities, and how many resources can be come up!
The latter is the most important!
This brings us to the Prime Minister's election system.
The prime minister is the president of the party with a majority majority of the votes in the Diet, and the key to the president of the party is the number of seats held by the faction.
The faction with the largest number of seats will naturally be able to suppress other factions and stand out as the president of the party.
So the most important thing is the seats in the National Assembly.
According to the Constitution of the island countries, the National Assembly is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which is clearly different from other European and American countries.
The Senate has 242 seats and serves a six-year term, half of which is re-elected every three years, making it more difficult to elect.
The House of Representatives, on the other hand, has 465 members and serves for four years if the Prime Minister does not dissolve the House of Representatives.
Among the 465 members of the House of Representatives, the rights are equal, and the election method adopts the electoral system of small constituencies and proportional representation.
The first category is 295 councillors, elected by small constituencies, corresponding to the 295 electoral districts divided into prefectures according to the population of the prefecture, and one councillor is elected from each district, and the candidate with the largest number of votes and more than one-sixth of the total votes is elected.
The second category consists of 180 MPs, who are elected according to proportional representation, and divide the island into 11 proportional electoral districts, each of which has between 6 and 29 seats according to the number of people in the population, and these seats are distributed according to the proportion of votes received by political parties and groups.
At the time of the election, voters over the age of 20 cast two ballots, one for candidates in small constituencies and the other for the parties they support. The results of the votes in the small constituencies directly lead to the election of the candidate with the most votes. In proportional representation constituencies, the political parties will submit a list of candidates in advance, and the election will be confirmed in turn according to the proportion of votes cast.
Since candidates can run repeatedly in small electoral districts and proportional representation constituencies, political parties have included key candidates from their party in proportional representation lists to ensure their election.
It can also be seen from this electoral system that the 180 seats in the proportional election must compete not only with other parties but also with their colleagues in the party, and be nominated by the party and included in the list of proportional representatives.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has the greatest competitive pressure due to its extremely large contingent of party members.
Therefore, for these 180 seats, Noboru Takegami has the ability to guarantee that he will be on the list of representatives, but if he wants to support his descendants, it will be too difficult.
So the best thing for him to do is to get his descendants to run for the 295 MPs.
In this case, sufficient resources are needed.
For example, enough financial resources to hold various activities to put on a show and win the support of voters.
For example, there is enough media exposure to let voters know themselves and their political opinions.
Another example is that there are enough businesses and groups in the local constituency to canvass for them.
And so on and so forth, and all parties need support anyway.
After all, these 295 parliamentarian positions should not only compete with their own party colleagues, but more importantly, compete with other political parties and groups, so don't burn too much resources!
However, compared with the 180 seats that need to be nominated by the party, the parliamentarians elected by these 295 parliamentarians are elected by real hand-to-hand combat, and there is no need to owe favors to other factions in the party.
Noboru Takegami wants to build his own faction, and the 295 seats in the House of Representatives election in December this year are his best chance!
It's already April, and there are only eight months left before the December election, which is not long.
These 8 months are extremely important for people who are not well-known and exposed, and it is a pity to waste every day!
And if he really wants to stand on his own, the time left for him is even shorter.
Because he needs to convince people to join him in setting up his own business, and to determine the system of his own organization, and he needs to find enough candidates to run for election, each of which takes a lot of time and energy.
Thinking of this, Noboru Takekami's heart, which had just regained his calm slightly, rippled again.
"Hoo ......"
Pondering Takekami, he felt in his pocket and wanted to smoke, but found that the cigarette was not on his body, but on the coffee table.
At some point, Keizo Obuchi, who came to his side, immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Noboru Takegami, and bent down slightly to respectfully light it for him.
Noboru Takekami, who was full of worries, didn't say anything polite, took a hard breath, and then spit out a long one, white smoke obscuring his face.
Keizo Obuchi could feel the pressure and torment of his master, he, who was not the most direct beneficiary, couldn't sleep all night last night, and he had no intention of working during the day today, let alone Noboru Takekami?
After a moment of silence, Keizo Obuchi said, "Teacher, no matter what you choose, I will always follow your pace. ”
Noboru Takegami turned his head and looked at Keizo Obuchi with a determined expression, a smile of relief appeared on his face: "Keizo, your heart teacher has always known. ”
After that, he patted Keizan Kobuchi on the shoulder and said, "This matter, whether it is for me or for you, the teacher will think carefully about it." ”
"You go back tonight, I'll think about it. ”
"When the time comes, I'll tell you as soon as the results come. ”
"Okay!"
"Then teacher, I'll go back first, you rest early and pay more attention to your body. ”
After Obuchi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Noboru Takekami, then walked to the sofa and picked up his coat and left Noboru Takekami's house.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for Noboru Takegami......
