Chapter 668: Capitalist
Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of calling you here today is simple. ”
"In three days' time, I will meet with His Excellency the Daimyo for the second time to discuss some matters related to financial allocation."
Lang Sheng said these two opening sentences, Lei Luo slowed down for a moment, his eyes swept over the faces of the dozen or so people present one by one, and carefully observed them - these are either middle-aged or old businessmen's expressions.
Among these people, there is one who once had a relationship with Lei Luo, Takashi Maeda, a big real estate developer in the country of fire;
There is the head of the industrial department of the former Kawanokuni, and then at the invitation of Lei Luo, the owner of a large factory in the Konoha Industrial Park, Kazuki Kawa;
There is a mineral merchant from the Land of Thunder, who is responsible for importing uranium ore to Konoha because of the alliance between Konoha and Yunyin;
In addition to the above acquaintances, there are also some big capitalists whose business spreads all over the Fire Country, and their tentacles gradually involve all walks of life, or big businessmen from small countries but with very strong strength in the transportation industry.
Because the business support process of the First Five-Year Plan is very well implemented, these big businessmen are willing to run to Konoha and have established a very good cooperative relationship with Konoha.
After all, the market share of more than 100,000 people is not a joke.
The fifteen big businessmen present, to a certain extent, are not exaggerated to call them the main contributors to Konoha's rapid development to this day.
And their existence is also the most fundamental driving force for the village to initially complete the reconstruction work after only half a year after the May 26 incident.
For Lei Luo, they are both collaborators and investors, and today, Lei Luo and them are even more closely integrated, working together for Konoha to further develop and grow, so that everyone can earn more money together.
In short, interest groups that do not involve much cooperation at the level of force.
At this time, after Lei Luo's two opening sentences, the businessmen unconsciously looked at each other, as if there was an invisible information in their eyes, and it didn't take long for Maeda Takashi, the most powerful person in the audience, to speak:
"Hokage-sama, the financial allocation of His Excellency Daimyo, I suggest that you better not expect too much, after all, due to the matter of the second village, the relationship between the two of you has really deteriorated to the extreme."
"Of course, in view of my friendship with Maeda Takashi and Hokage-sama, I and all the real estate companies under my name are willing to take out a long-term loan of no less than five memories to invest in Konoha and do our part to make the village survive this crisis smoothly."
When he said this, Maeda Takashi looked at Lei Luo's eyes, with a little helplessness in comfort, as if he was really sorry for the predicament faced by Konoha, and the rest of the businessmen didn't know what they were hiding, and they also echoed their words, this one said to take 50 million, and the other said to take 100 million, which seemed to sincerely persuade Lei Luo.
Knowing that these merchants were testing themselves, and their motive was nothing more than to control more of Konoha's assets, and then influence the village policy, so as to control the village from the side, Lei Luo sneered in his heart, and put on a sad look on the surface, instead of answering the merchants' words, he sighed softly:
"The second village is related to the strategy of the Sand Hidden and the strategy of the Land of Wind, so I can't help but build it, but I am sorry that I am thinking about the country of fire, but in the end, the master of the country of fire can't understand me."
Hearing Lei Luo's complaints, the rich old man on the side, Chuan Yihui, secretly scolded "shameless" in his heart, and on the surface, he pretended to have a sad face, and whispered to Lei Luo: "Hokage-sama, now that you and Your Excellency Daimyo are at a standstill, you should quickly think of a solution." ”
"Old decay, and all the friends present are willing to help you, as long as you nod your head slightly, then what the Fire Nation Daimyo doesn't want to give you, we can provide it on your behalf, isn't this the problem solved?"
Hearing that these guys were still trying to accept loans, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel a little impatient, he didn't want the capital forces to fully invade and then fully infiltrate Konoha at all, so he barely squeezed out a smile and responded:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your kindness, but Konoha's plate is so big, and it is not a good thing for the village as a whole to bring in too much foreign funds, so my eyes are still more inclined to be on the daimyo."
Iguchi, a mineral merchant from the Land of Thunder, moved his heart after hearing this, he didn't think that Lei Luo was a stupid person, and the relationship between the Hokage and the Daimyo was now clear to those who had a bit of identity, so it was impossible for the Hokage not to understand that continuing to tie Konoha to the Daimyo would be tantamount to self-destruction.
But the Hokage, however, rejected their group of capitalists and rejected their group of gold owners who came to the door: Konoha's plate is too small? What is the reason for this?
So, what is Lei Luo's purpose?
There were not a few people who wanted to go with Jingkou Dagui, and all the merchants stopped their persuasive words, stared intently at Lei Luo, and waited for the latter to give an answer, and the scene was quiet for a while.
The sound of persuasion in his ears stopped coming, Lei Luo slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his eyes and swept around the crowd, seeing that they were all looking at him with solemn expressions, obviously sensing something, he muttered for a moment, intending to officially state his purpose.
After such a warm-up before, it is also time at this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is short-sighted, and only cares about the immediate interests and ignores the overall situation, this kind of person is no longer worthy of continuing to dominate the Fire Country, so I intend to form a new government to replace the Daimyo, with everyone present as the core leadership team, and everyone will work together to lead the Fire Country to prosperity and strength!"
At this moment, Lei Luolang's words resounded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the people present were all big people with a net worth of more than 100 million, and they were well-informed and extraordinary, but they also fell into a state of sluggishness.
What did the Hokage just say? Establishing a new government? Rule the Fire Nation? Is this going to do something to the Daimyo? This, this, this......
Isn't that a bit too ......
"Hokage-sama, think twice." The first to react was the old man Chuan Yihui, who saw him stand up with a shout, staggered two steps and grabbed the edge of the table, barely stabilized his body, and anxiously persuaded Lei Luo:
"Since the Warring States Period, the Daimyo family has ruled the Fire Country for hundreds of years, and the righteousness, the concept and the hearts of the people are all unshakable, if you want to be unfavorable to the Daimyo, let's not talk about how foreign countries will deal with it, just say that no one will support you among the millions of ordinary people in our Fire Country!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama, don't be impulsive!"
As Kawa Yihui's words fell, echoing voices rang out one after another, most of the people's faces were full of fear, obviously not wanting to see Lei Luo use force against the daimyo, no matter how tempting the benefits Lei Luo gave, he couldn't impress them.
Only a small number of people, such as Maeda Takashi and Iguchi Daiki, did not follow the atmosphere in the field to persuade Lei Luo, but just sat quietly on the chair and looked at Lei Luo thoughtfully.
