The next morning, instead of going directly to the company, Kishimoto went to a Cantonese morning tea shop in Tokyo a quarter of an hour earlier to wait for President Pachinko.

The two had made an appointment on the phone beforehand with such a place. He walked into a private room and ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

As soon as the waiter brought the things up, President Pachinko walked in. The old man is still physically strong and energetic, and he looks like he has no problem working for another twenty years.

He pulled away the chair next to Masayoshi Kishimoto and sat down with a single ass. He knew that the two of them were meeting here definitely not just for breakfast.

Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to pick up the Chinese teapot and poured a cup of tea for President Pachinko as a gift to his juniors. He put the teapot back in its place before sitting down again.

"Among the various types of breakfast in China, Cantonese morning tea is the most abundant, with hundreds of varieties. The classic is these crystal shrimp dumplings, traditional siu mai, barbecued pork buns, steamed phoenix feet, ......" Kishimoto introduced the things on the table to the other party one by one.

The elders of the Pachinko Association have long known that Cantonese morning tea can be eaten slowly while chatting slowly. Eating is secondary, and chatting is the key to the meeting between the two this morning.

President Pachinko took chopsticks in his right hand and put a barbecued pork bag into his dishes and said, "Let's get down to business!"

"I want to put up an advertisement in more than 10,000 pachinko stores across Japan. For this, I will make a payment. "Kishimoto didn't beat around the bush anymore.

"What kind of advertisement?" said President Pachinko, trying to find out what his advertisement was about.

"Mizushima is really used for campaign advertising. Kishimoto said bluntly.

"It's not a big deal for you. However, this is not necessarily the case in addition to the Tokyo area, especially in the Osaka area of western Japan.

You know, the last time about the Roppongi old town renovation plan you proposed. Some of us invested money, but it was mainly limited to the Tokyo area.

The Kansai region, centered on Osaka and Kyoto, did not get a piece of the pie. These people can't be guaranteed that there is no complaint in their hearts. In addition, there have always been many contradictions in the distribution of benefits between the Kanto region and the Kansai region.

The remaining Shikoku, Kyushu, Hokkaido and other regions are relatively poor, as long as they are given money, everything is easy to say. President Pachinko said eloquently.

"I know more or less about what you say. Even if it can't be rolled out in a comprehensive way, there must be one that counts as one.

Places with high population density are focused. "Masayoshi Kishimoto invested money, naturally he wanted to listen to a sound. Even if you don't have a lot of money, don't lose.

President Pachinko said with interest: "When did you become interested in politics?"

"I'm not interested in politics. However, once a person reaches a high level, there are some things that you can't help but like or dislike. With so many people following you, you have to be accountable to them, and to their families.

It is as if the feudal states of Japan no longer exist, but how can the companies under the modern system not be new feudal states?

The official members were samurai, and the non-regular members were subjects of the feudal domain. They're doing the work for you, and you have to shelter them. He and his family were able to eat and drink without worry. Kishimoto said frankly.

President Pachinko suddenly smiled kindly, "You are becoming more and more mature. ”

"You're so ridiculous about me. Kishimoto upheld the traditional Chinese attitude of gentleness and frugality.

"Speaking of which, we can be regarded as year-old friends. Since they are friends, then this favor is naturally to help. Even if there is a certain amount of difficulty in the Kansai area, I will personally come forward to fight for you and solve it. Only by taking care of each other can we coexist and prosper. President Pachinko said personally.

"Thank you so much. "Of course, Kishimoto knows that all this is based on each other's interests.

Today, you helped me, then tomorrow, I will help you. Of course, this is a major premise based on each other's ability to measure value and value geometry.

"All I can make sure of is the votes for the pachinko industry in the Tokyo area, and when you need it, we'll vote for the person you say it all.

Other than that, it's not something I dare to promise. "President Pachinko is no stranger to this kind of proxy politics.

Kishimoto is well aware that there is little suspense about Mizushima's real election. In addition to the help of his own side, Iwasaki Maki will naturally not sit idly by.

Originally, she was the driving force behind all this. If you join forces with each other, you will have nothing to lose, and you will take what you need.

Iwasaki needs to gain more actual control and resources within the family to pave the way for the big things she wants to do in the future.

In other words, the struggle for power within the Iwasaki family has never stopped. There are nearly 600 children and grandchildren within the Iwasaki family. Even if they are all family, it doesn't mean that they are all of the same heart.

If you go back to the roots, there are two main forces in the Iwasaki family. Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi Group, is the main family.

Yataro Iwasaki's younger brother, Yanosuke Iwasaki, is a split family. However, Iwasaki Yanosuke made great contributions to the development and growth of the Mitsubishi Group.

He was arguably the most modern business manager among the economists in the mid-Meiji period, and he broke away from his status as an "official businessman" during the time of his elder brother Yataro Iwasaki, abandoned his overly arbitrary approach, and rebuilt Mitsubishi as an organizer, transforming Mitsubishi, which had been a "kingdom on the sea," into a "land kingdom," and turning the new Mitsubishi into a huge corporate alliance.

Later, Iwasaki Yanosuke resigned as president of Mitsubishi and returned the company to Iwasaki Yataro's son, Kuya Iwasaki, who made him president.

At the same time, in accordance with the wishes of his brother Yataro Iwasaki, he carried out a "liquidation" of the family property, not only transferring all the interests of the Iwasaki family in Mitsubishi to Iwasaki Kuya.

As a branch of the family, he received less than a quarter of the common property of his own family. For this reason, his descendants have always been disgruntled.

According to the descendants of Iwasaki Yanosuke, Iwasaki Yanosuke is the one who turned the tide. Otherwise, the Mitsubishi Group would have gone bankrupt because of Yataro Iwasaki's death, after all, there was a price war with the Inoue family because of the shipping incident.

Later, in 1916, Iwasaki Yanosuke's eldest son, Koyata Iwasaki, took over the responsibilities of Mitsubishi President from his cousin Iwasaki Kuya, becoming the fourth generation of the company's leader.

After the defeat in World War II, the Japanese chaebol was required to dissolve, and the Mitsubishi Corporation was divided into 139 companies, and the "Mitsubishi" logo was not allowed. Even so, the Iwasaki family retains a 47.8% stake in Mitsubishi's companies.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States loosened its economic control on Japan, and the zaibatsu group took advantage of the situation to re-emerge. Mitsubishi Corporation was reborn in 1954.

With the rapid development of the Mitsubishi Group's business, 28 companies under the regrouped "Mitsubishi" banner include Nippon Yusen (one of the world's top 10 shipping companies), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Materials, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi Jizao.

In 1969, the sales of Mitsubishi's 10 companies were almost equal to the annual budget of the Japanese state. By 1970, the total assets of the 44 Mitsubishi Group companies accounted for one-tenth of the total assets of all Japanese companies.
