The feast of the Iwasaki family is definitely star-studded.

is not those star actors who wear red and green, but celebrities from all walks of life.

In the upper class society, it is definitely a great joy to be able to receive an invitation from the Iwasaki family. Those who are eligible to be invited by the Iwasaki family are definitely well-known people.

The reason is simple, the Iwasaki family is the richest family in Yumoto, controlling the Mitsubishi consortium, known as the "First Chaebol".

As early as more than 100 years ago, Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi Foundation and the founder of the Iwasaki family, renamed the "Ninety-Nine Chamber of Commerce" that he bought for 40,000 taels of silver to the "Mitsubishi Chamber of Commerce", and combined the Mikashiwa leaf logo with the Iwasaki family's Mitsubishi logo to form the Mitsubishi logo that is now famous all over the world. Over the next six years, Yataro Iwasaki expanded his fleet of six steamboats to sixty-one, becoming the "supremacy of the seas."

Although after Yataro Iwasaki's death, his younger brother Yanosuke Iwasaki developed the Mitsubishi Foundation from a "sea overlord" to a "land overlord", but a hundred years later, the total assets of the 44 companies under the Mitsubishi Foundation accounted for one-tenth of the total assets of the company, becoming the number one consortium in the company.

Everyone is familiar with "Mitsubishi Motors".

In fact, the auto industry is a very low share of the Mitsubishi consortium. Compared with Toyota and Honda, Mitsubishi Motors is not well-known, and it is not even as well-known as the production of automobiles.

Mining, shipbuilding and banking are the main pillars of the Mitsubishi Foundation, and they are also the main driving forces for the Mitsubishi Foundation to quickly surpass the Mitsui Foundation after World War II and become the number one chaebol in this country.

This shows how important the shipbuilding industry in the Hanshin area is to the Mitsubishi Foundation.

Despite the global economic recession, the sharp contraction of ship orders, and the strong competition between Chinese and South Korean shipbuilders, the shipbuilding industry is still the main industry of the Mitsubishi Foundation, and the related upstream and downstream industries are related to the rise and fall of the Mitsubishi Empire. For the sake of peace and stability in the Hanshin region, the Iwasaki family will do whatever it takes.

The Iwasaki family relied on no association like the ship company.

The influence of a large conglomerate, which is tied to more than 10% of the country's wealth, in political circles should never be underestimated.

In Taoist terms, the Iwasaki family can even decide who to live in the prime minister's office.

This is by no means bragging, the Iwasaki family is in trouble, and Prime Minister Ben will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully.

As the strike had just dissipated, the Osaka police responded when they heard that the Iwasaki family was going to hold a feast in Osaka and invite celebrities from all walks of life, and the Osaka police immediately responded by sending hundreds of additional police officers to the hotel owned by the Iwasaki family.

It's a pity that the Iwasaki family doesn't appreciate it.

This time, not only celebrities from all walks of life were invited, but also the leaders of dozens of clubs. Among these people, there are many big people like Kotaro Hashimoto who have a public identity, but there are also many pure gangsters who have no public identity at all, or no decent public identity.

With hundreds of cops to maintain order, it must be a good sight.

The Iwasaki family refused the kindness of the Osaka police and hired nearly 1,000 armed bodyguards alone, many of whom were employees of European and American security companies.

The main reason why the battle is so big is that the Iwasaki family's nest is not in Osaka, but on another island, Nagasaki.

If it weren't for the main purpose of stabilizing the situation in the Hanshin area to solve the problems caused by the ship company, the Iwasaki family would not have come to Osaka to join in the fun.

Of course, there are still many people who join in the fun, such as hundreds of reporters from major media outlets.

The relationship between the Iwasaki family and the shipwrights association is not a secret, and everyone knows that this feast organized by Iwasaki Eiichi, the current patriarch of the Iwasaki family, must be related to the labor tide and the tragedy suffered by the three major families of the shipyard one after another, and also related to the expansion and development of the Iwasaki family in the Hanshin area.

In fact, the Iwasaki family has never been able to dominate the Hanshin region.

The main thing is that the Iwasaki family has a very strong competitor, that is, the Kawasaki family, which also started as a sailor and has strong strength in shipbuilding and other fields.

Although the Mitsubishi consortium is ten times the size of the Kawasaki consortium, the strong dragon does not crush the snake.

More importantly, the Kawasaki Foundation has a pivotal position in the military industry. The Kawasaki Shipyard built the first self-built submarine in Kawasaki Shipyard, and during World War II, the Kawasaki Shipyard also built the battleship "Harakumei" and the aircraft carrier "Kaga" for the Navy.

Because of its small scale, it is far inferior to the four major consortia such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda, so after World War II, the Kawasaki Foundation was not deliberately attacked by the United States, and grew rapidly, becoming one of the most important consortia in the military industry and gaining a pivotal position in the field of military industry.

If the Mitsubishi Consortium wants to control the Hanshin region, it will have to weaken the influence of the Kawasaki Consortium.

Unlike the struggle of the associations, the struggle between the consortia is more civilized and more brutal. Even if it was a last resort, the Iwasaki family would not think of fighting and killing. The best way to crack down on the Kawasaki Consortium is to expand the influence of the Mitsubishi Consortium and build a more complete industrial system.

To do this, the Iwasaki family not only needed the support of the political axe, but also had to control the union through the association.

This feast was also said by the news media to be a clarion call for the Mitsubishi Foundation to officially enter the Hanshin area and launch a general attack on the Kawasaki Foundation.

It's just that you have to be in place in terms of face.

Eiichi Iwasaki also invited Kawasaki Okami of the Kawasaki Foundation, and invited him as the guest of honor to welcome the invited celebrities from all walks of life.

Two big men who control huge assets come forward together, and the scene must be very lively.

Liu Wei's official identity is the chief assistant to Kotaro Hashimoto, and his unofficial identity is the quasi-grandson-in-law of Kotaro Hashimoto, so he followed Kotaro Hashimoto and met the two big shots.

It's a pity that Eiichi Iwasaki and Kawasaki Okamo didn't take him seriously at all, and even looked down on Yasutaro Hashimoto a little.

This is also understandable, the Hashimoto family has calculated everything, and the total assets are less than 50 billion US dollars, and the official members of the brotherhood are only a few thousand, plus the employees of its industries, there are tens of thousands. Not to mention that compared with the Mitsubishi Foundation, which has total assets of more than 10 trillion US dollars and millions of employees, even compared with the Kawasaki Foundation, which is a large circle of small circles, the Hashimoto family is only a fraction, and it is not even a side of the consortium.

Being able to receive an invitation from Eiichi Iwasaki is mainly a matter of the shipping company.

If it weren't for Liu Wei's big trouble in Osaka, which caused a lot of holes in the shipyard company, and the only remaining Ogata family was unable to control the shipbuilders' association, Iwasaki Eiichi would not have thought of the brotherhood, let alone invited Yasutaro Hashimoto.

Liu Wei didn't take this to heart.

Iwasaki Eiichi looked down on him, and he also looked down on Iwasaki Eiichi.

Don't look at that old guy with a large group of bodyguards around him, if he really wants to provoke Liu Wei, the Iwasaki family will not end much better than the Kondo family.

Of course, Liu Wei is not crazy, and he will not deal with the Iwasaki family for no reason.

Yasutaro Hashimoto was not so pot-bellied, and Iwasaki Eichi shook his hand, said a few polite words, and asked the subordinate in charge of receiving the guests to lead him in.

Obviously, it is very faceless.

For Kotaro Hashimoto, face is more important than anything else.

Mixing in the Tao and having no face is equivalent to having no status.

It's just that Kotaro Hashimoto can only endure it, after all, without this banquet, he wouldn't even be able to see Eiichi Iwasaki, let alone shake hands and greet him.

After entering the venue, Liu Weicai and Kotaro Hashimoto acted separately.

This is a great time to meet celebrities from all walks of life, and guests who come to the banquet will not miss it. Yasutaro Hashimoto has to seize the opportunity to introduce the Brotherhood to the big names and make the Hashimoto family remember him and the Hashimoto family, who have a lot of say in the Kanto underground world.

Liu Wei didn't know a few people, and he didn't plan to meet those celebrities.

It didn't take long for him to find Mobei Wolf and Ogata Sakura.

Although Sakura Ogata was one of the main guests, she, like Kotaro Hashimoto, was not very welcome. The main thing is the current Ogata family, which cannot be compared with the time of Ogata Kogoro. Even though Sakura Ogata plans to rebuild the "Sakura Garden" by spending a lot of money to hire internationally renowned garden designers to rebuild the "Sakura Garden", it will take several years to restore it to the level of Ogata Kogoro's time.

Besides, after the attack on the "Sakura Garden", the big people who were close to the Ogata family were afraid of being implicated, so they avoided it, and they would take the initiative to approach Ogata Sakura.

If it weren't for Sakura Ogata's control of the ship, I'm afraid Eiichi Iwasaki wouldn't have invited her at all.

"Is there any activity in the evening, is it just here to chat and drink?" Liu Wei didn't want to spend his time bragging and farting.

"There's still an arrangement later." Sakura Ogata is the guest of honor and knows the specific arrangements for the banquet. "Iwasaki Eiichi invited Akebono and Kinohana to perform for fun."

"What can a man and a woman perform?"

Sakura Ogata was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "They are both yokozuna-level sumo wrestlers, and they are also the two most powerful sumo wrestlers in recent years, and Akenotaro is still an American. ”

"Sumo wrestling......" Liu Wei was speechless for a moment.

"A few years ago, they faced off at a supermaster event in Hong Kong, which attracted tens of thousands of viewers, and the broadcast ratings in this book were as high as 50 percent, surpassing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

"Old man Iwasaki likes sumo very much?"

"Most of them like sumo." Sakuraka Ogata smiled and said, "Eiichi Iwasaki likes it very much, and only if he comes forward can he invite these two super yokozuna." ”

"So, they have a lot of origins." Liu Wei didn't know much about sumo.

What can be the use of a body of horizontal meat?

Even if it is compared to strength, it is muscle, not fat.

"It's awesome anyway."

"Damn, what's so nice about a pit pig?" Mobei wolves don't like sumo wrestling, and it's a very unappetizing thing to watch two piles of meat mountains bump into each other.

Sakura Ogata was speechless on the spot, because she also belonged to one of the majority of the said person.

"Forget it, it's better than standing here in a daze and pretending to be stupid." Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "After the pig fight, what are the arrangements?" ”

"If Iwasaki Eiichi is in a good mood, maybe he will meet us alone."

"We?"

"Me and Big Brother Bai." Ogata Sakuraka glanced at Mobei Wolf and said, "It's just that there are a lot of big people here today, and maybe it won't be our turn." ”

"In this way, Iwasaki Eichi has to be impressed." Liu Wei smiled and also looked at the Mobei wolf.

Mobei Wolf rolled his eyes, he knew very well what Liu Wei was thinking.
