On the other side, in a small izakaya near the Sony SMZ building.

Uesugi Muneyuki and Kitagawa Kenji, both in suits and leather shoes, were sitting in a corner of the bar drinking.

The two of them were originally going to eat, but Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly informed Kitagawa Kenji that he was going home for dinner in the evening, so the eating activity was changed to two drinks.

Kitagawa Kenji doesn't care, it's the same if he goes home for dinner later, and it's not really just to eat when he asks Uesugi Soyuki to meet today.

"What to drink?" It wasn't the first time the owner of the izakaya had seen these two people, and Kenji Kitagawa had simply wrapped up the place, and there were only the two of them in this small izakaya today.

"Kiku Masamune!" "Laurel Crown!"

Kikumasazong was founded in 1659 in the Western calendar, that is, in the 2nd year of the Japanese era name Manji. It has a long history and is one of the oldest companies in the Japanese sake industry. The special feature of its products is that it has a strong aroma and is expressed in Japanese as "うまい bitter mouth". This is the unique quality of the sake of the ---- Nada Gogo Distillery, Japan's No. 1 sake brewery. Because of its pungent aroma, it is called: men's wine. Obviously, Kikumasamun sake is different from other sake with a slightly sweet flavor that is usually sold in the market. For example, Fushimi sake in Kyoto is ---- Japanese for "sweet mouth". It is often referred to as "sweet sake", and it is known in Japan as "women's sake". The reason why Kikumasune is able to make such a chilling sake is that in the process of brewing and fermenting, Kikumasa's own "Kikumasa yeast" is used as the mother of wine. Because this yeast has a strong fermentation power and is vigorous, it will not die until the end of fermentation. Therefore, it converts the glucose in the wine into alcohol to the greatest extent. As a result, Japanese sake with a crisp texture and a long aftertaste is brewed. Because of this, it has a more intense and mellow flavor.

The original name of the laurel was Kasakiya, which was founded in the 14th year of Kanei (1637) under the name of Jade Spring, and its founder, Rokuro Ukemon, began brewing sake in Yamashiro Kasaki-so, which is now Fushimi Ward, Kasaki-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto, and has been brewing sake for 360 years. In the Meiji 38 (1905) Japan Fashion Sake Competition, the winner of the Sakao Liquor Competition, which was awarded the highest honor, was named "Tsukilau Crown" in order to win the highest honor for sake. As a result of the continuous research and development and introduction of new technologies, he has been awarded gold medals in many competitions due to the competition between the best of Fushimi and Nada Wards and other parts of Japan, such as Nanbu-ryu, Tajima-ryu, Tanba-ryu, and Echizen-ryu.

The mellow aroma in the mouth, the refreshing sake made both of them sigh for a while, and the shopkeeper quickly served some side dishes: "Please use it slowly!"

"I called you out because I wanted to tell you something. Kitagawa Kenji subconsciously took out a cigarette and planned to light it.

Uesugi Muneyuki waved his hand to stop him, he hated the smell of smoke the most.

Kenji Kitagawa smiled awkwardly, he put away the cigarette, and then took another puff of himself: "Recently, at AKS, I discovered something strange. ”

"What's the matter?" Uesugi Soyuki thought it was interesting, what kind of thing, would you find yourself?

"Recently, there have been strange fluctuations in AKS's stock price, and interestingly, as the holder of the largest number of shares in AKS, Kyoraku's attitude is indeed ambiguous. Kitagawa Kenji paused for a moment, and then said, "Jingle spent so much effort to become the owner of AKS, and now if it is so easy to let foreign capital in, I don't believe it." ”

"I don't want to care about AKS, now AKB's annual turnover is more than 20 billion yen, and any unnecessary actions may cause vigilance from major forces, Kenji, you know, how many people are raised in this industrial chain, and how many mouths are supplied. Uesugi Muneyuki put his arm on the table and whispered.

Kitagawa Kenji also nodded, he knew the character of Uesugi Soyuki, and he made great changes on the original basis, adding bricks and tiles, he didn't like to do it, he preferred to start from scratch and do his own thing.

"And then there's the recent reshuffle, where some of the old doctors who have been working at AKS for a long time have been transferred to Kyushu (HKT) and Nagoya (SKE) for a lot of new doctors who have never seen faces before. Kitagawa Kenji continued: "Kumiko Isono wants some scholars to come to the Nogizaka 46 Management Committee... ”

"I refused, Kumiko Isono herself is already one of our Nogizaka 46 record producers, AKS president is also named on our program, and the two heads of Dentsu, Abiliu Kazuhiko and Fujita Hiroyuki, are in charge of the program production, and this woman still wants to send a doctor to our side?" Speaking of this, Uesugi Muneyuki's voice gradually became gloomy: "What does Ota really think he is? Do you want me to give them a little bitterness?"

"It doesn't seem to be Ota, it seems to be the personal behavior of Kumiko Isano, as far as I know, she and her brother are fighting for the actual control of Ota's office, and the two sides have been fighting for a long time, but recently, I don't know why, she was suddenly suppressed by her brother who was originally in the upper hand, and now it seems that she is already seeking help from outside forces. ”

Kumiko Isono has an older brother, and she and her brother are also the two children of the founders of the Ota office, and the two have been fighting for the actual control of the Ota office for a long time.

"She's found her mentor, Yasuya Akimoto, right?" Uesugi Muneyuki nodded and said slowly.

Kitagawa, who works for KRK Productions (AKS's film editing company) and is mainly responsible for providing video editing and production for AKB48, is the man in his early Chinese New Year's Eve who is most sensitive to personnel changes within AKS, and he quickly found some clues: " The relationship between Yasu Akimoto and AKS seems to be not as close as it used to be, and the order for the transfer of Asahiro Yumoto as the head of the AKB theater has been issued several times, and it has been opposed most fiercely by Yasushi Akimoto, which has made Yuasa Hiroshi never complete the transfer, and Kyoraku privately sent someone to persuade Yasushi Akimoto several times, but he didn't listen. Kenji Kitagawa continued.

"Yasushi Akimoto's basic plate is already very weak, and he still has a lot of influence with Togasaki Tomonobu, but Yuasa will not buy his account, so his opposition is certain. Uesugi Muneyuki expressed understanding.

In the early days of the AKB, Yasushi Akimoto almost decided matters big and small, and had absolute authority, which was similar to the power that Uesugi Muneyuki now had in Nogizaka, if not even more.

Later, due to financial problems, AKB began a wave of emigration, but at this time, Akimoto's authority in the regiment was still unquestionable.

The turning point of things came in the second half of 08, when the capital chain was about to break, and when it was almost cornered, Yasu Akimoto was woken up by Uesugi Soyuki, who returned to China urgently, and found Dentsu, completing a gorgeous turnaround, and AKB has now gone to the broad road of national idols.

However, along with it, there are the major forces that smell blood, Akimoto Yasu himself is only a small shareholder in AKS, and he can dominate everything more by relying on the trust of his partners and his own prestige, but this is useless for those big forces, so Akimoto Yasu came up with a solution.

He released part of the operation rights (he couldn't keep it anyway) to several other firms (such as Ota, Ogi, Watanabe) who had emigrated from AKB in the early days, and then through favors, interest exchanges and other means, these firms were introduced and united to control the operation rights together, so that although his strength was weak, it was still a link in the operation that could not be ignored.

For example, in the early days of the group, the total power was 100, and Akimoto Yasushi alone held 80, and at this time, Akimoto Yasu's position was unshakable.

By the time it was 10 years old, due to the popularity of AKB, AKS was infiltrated and influenced by major forces, and at this time Akimoto Yasu's power was still 80, but the total power had become 200.

So Yasu Akimoto introduced several other firms, and then one firm gave some power, so the situation became, the total power was 200, the power of each of the three firms was 20, and the power in the hands of Yasuya Akimoto was only 50.

However, 50 + 20 * 3 = 110, Yasu Akimoto once again gained the majority of the majority by uniting these three firms.

This is Akimotoyasu's method, and he lacks his own basic plate, which can only continue his control through this means.

However, after all, the positions of the major firms were biased, and while AKB continued to grow and develop, it became more and more difficult for Yasushi Akimoto to unite and twist them together.

As insiders, Kenji Kitagawa and Muneyuki Uesugi have already seen Yasushi Akimoto's weakness.

Not to mention, he has already begun to reach out and deal with Akimoto Yasu's burning system.

From Kenji Kitagawa 's words, Uesugi Soyuki has received an extremely important message, the burning system, is about to start to do something to AKS.

Regarding the actions of the Burning Department, he and Kenji Kitagawa have been secretly discussing for a long time.

They want to use this operation of the burning system as a cover to get a piece of the AKB48 pie.

The two of them had another drink, accompanied by freshly fried chicken nuggets and grilled chicken with cheese, and grilled cod with sauce, and the refreshing sake was paired with these tender, meaty side dishes, which gradually relieved the two of them from the stress of heavy work.

"The North River Office has started to make huge profits from your team, and idol merchandise and record sales are indeed huge profit points, but overall, Nogizaka 46 is still losing money, and we still need to talk about it. Kitagawa Kenji's eyes flashed with a gloomy light: "AKS seems to have helped us promote it in the early days, and then I don't want to care about it, right?"

"Not only that, but recently they have come to me twice in three days to ask for resources. Uesugi Soxue's face was calm, and the corners of his mouth turned upward: "Think we Sony don't understand and treat us as wronged?"

"If we want to enter the AKS, it means that we will be hostile to Kyoraku, but with the current situation, it is only a matter of time before we are hostile to Kyoraku. "Kenji Kitagawa is an employee of AKS, but his ass has always been on Sony's side.

"Resources are always limited, Jingle has been shamelessly reaching out to us, so next, we will give them a ruthless blow. Uesugi continued, "I have already contacted the Burning Department, and when the stock price fluctuates and the attention of Kyoraku is caused by tax issues, we will immediately open up the relationship with the tax office and make a big deal about it." ”

"My newspaper also followed up and brought the matter to the attention of the Ministry of Justice. Kenji Kitagawa said he was ready.

"Then we unwittingly eat the shares of AKS in the hands of investors and creditors who are in a panic, and we should be able to eat about 4% before Jingle notices, as long as there is less than 5% of the mandatory public cordon, Jingle will not be aware of it. Uesugi Soyuki took the wine glass in his hand and played with it: "It's the main group AKB, as soon as we make a move, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of several major forces." ”

"This is, but ... Why don't we start with the newly established team in Kyushu?" Kitagawa Kenji held up his glass, and in the glass, the transparent and colorless sake had the reflection of his face.

The man's eyes were fiery, the flames flickered in his pupils, and his name was, ambition.

In this life, Kenji Kitagawa is a Sony department, he is no longer alone in AKS, and the strong support from Uesugi Soyuki has ignited more ambitions for this man.

"Makes sense. Uesugi Soyuki's eyes also lit up, didn't AKS go from unity to fragmentation, just relying on the infiltration of other forces through the SKY branch?

After talking about the matter, the atmosphere was different, and Uesugi Soyuki asked about a private matter of Kitagawa Kenji with a smile: "Speaking of which, what happened between you and Kojima Yona?"

Kitagawa Kenji's originally relaxed face instantly turned black.

"I was tricked. ”
