It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the location was the study in the master bedroom of the house. After the meeting was over and the family was dismissed, the old man took Midon's hand and came here. There was no one to accompany him at the scene, and the will was not something to be opened at this time, but in the end it was just shaken in front of everyone, and then it was put away by the old man and held in his arms.

"Sit down, Moko."

Back in this study, Midong was a little weak-hearted, and felt a little nervous when she sat down. But now, since she didn't sneak in in the middle of the night, she had the energy to look at this place, the place where the Miyamoto patriarch was working from home.

Grandfather Ryuzang sat in front of her, across a classical Chinese sour branch wood desk. The desk area is naturally not very large, but the needs of the elderly are also limited, in addition to the all-in-one computer necessary for modern office, the most conspicuous is only the same classical pen holder. Even on the background wall, there is a huge Japanese calligraphy work.

On one side of the room is a sash window, and on the other side are five rows of bookcases in the same mahogany, filled with obscure books. If Meidong's boudoir is a European and American princess style with pink and white as the main color, then here is the most antique East Asian Confucian color.

"Mozi, I was really surprised today."

The beige envelope sits on the black and red tabletop, and the old man in a navy blue kimono sits on the front seat of the head of the house, and sits at the same end as the young girl in light-colored women's clothes on the stiff-backed sour branch chair.

"It's just a matter of showing yourself, grandfather."

Midong said with a gentle smile: "The Miyamoto family must not be underestimated, even if the vase has to be carefully repaired, not to mention that this is what I originally intended." ”

"Well, I know you do have such a heart."

Just looking at the smile of the old man Longzang, he really looked affectionate and fond: "The night before yesterday, I just heard something from me, and the next day I went to Qingshui Port to inspect it. It's an unprecedented behavior, and you even let the vice president send employees as guides, your performance is really attentive......"

He took out a piece of paper from a stack of documents next to him: "This is the report made by the vice president last night. Although I don't know the best salesperson in the first sales section, of course the employees in such a position have real skills. All your interactions in the factory yesterday were recorded in detail by him and handed them over. ”

A single piece of A4 paper was pushed towards Meidong, and the old man Longzang stood with his hands crossed, and said to her with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Mozi would be interested in the shipbuilding industry......

"When the old man passes away and you officially inherit the industry of my clan, the headquarters of Honshu Heavy Industries, the shipyard in Yokohama, and of course all the berths here in Shimizu Port will indeed be in your name."

"Well, Moko, let's answer. Since you don't want to rely on your husband's assistance, let's not talk about your ability, but in terms of ambition...... Is this the pace of vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry? Or is it the entire Honshu heavy industry, going to the broad road of petrochemical industry and military shipbuilding, and plunging into it? ”

The privacy of the room is unquestionable, unless there is a bugging device under the desk.

Mei Dong had an insight into the layout of the study, which was a hidden place in the right wing of the third floor of the Western Pavilion, with two sides directly on the exterior wall, and the other side connected to the entrance was also the outer bedroom. But looking at the thickness of the window glass, it is not impossible to say that it is bulletproof, so other protection, including sound insulation, can be imagined.

Therefore, no matter what happens here, as long as the curtain is drawn, it is impossible for the outside world to know.

"When it comes to the question of what happens next when you inherit your family property."

Midong knew that this was part of the test: "Keeping the family prosperous is obviously the most basic thing. But the so-called common people are not rich for three generations, and if the Miyamoto family, which has been inherited for nine generations, only thinks about this kind of unproductive thing, it is impossible for us to continue until now. ”

The old man listened silently.

"But when it comes to development goals, almost every generation has its own needs. We are not the ancient aristocrats of China or Europe, we are a family that arose during the Meiji Restoration, and this is an era of rapid change, especially now, and it is an era of information revolution that the whole of Japan has not caught up with. In a world where one year equals the last 10 years, and the last 10 years equals the last 100 years, development planning is such a thing as ......"

"That's why I'm going to leave it to you." This time it was the grandfather's turn to interrupt the granddaughter. Listening to Mei Dong's calm explanation, the wrinkles on his face were clenched together, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Young people keep pace with the times, Mozi, save the nonsense, tell me what you plan." ”

"The revival of manufacturing!"

"The United States and India are the lessons, and China is the obvious advanced example. It is true that Japan has limited resources, but didn't we make our fortune from manufacturing from the beginning? Technology is king, quality is paramount, and the dumping of household appliances in the past has made the Japanese people extremely proud of it. ”

"Twenty years ago, after the First World War between China and India, India's already poor infrastructure was directly destroyed on a national scale. In addition, in the past 20 years, China's many aircraft carrier formations have persistently blockaded, and the country's originally powerful information service industry has also been dealt an endless blow. ”

"The reshoring of manufacturing in Japan and even South Korea, as well as the rise of the information industry to a certain extent, is achieved through this shareholder wind. The 38-point ceasefire agreement has lasted for nearly 100 years, so how can China's violent blockade of India continue for more than half a century. ”

"So, on the one hand, it is to help India, and on the other hand, to replace its position in the entire global industrial chain, which is the general trend that Japan will face in the next 30 years. As the saying goes, the times make heroes, grandfather, this is an opportunity for everyone, isn't it? ”

Admittedly excited, Midong had to let out a long breath of turbid air after picking up a high note for the last time. What's more, the heart is beating fast, and this joyful pleasure that has been going on has lasted for more than three and a half minutes?

"Well, well said, well said!"

I only heard the old man Longzang laugh: "When you said it before, I still haven't had a taste of it." Yes, yes, Namozi, it's good to read more, whether it's literature, history books, or the philosophical dialectics of Narauschzi or something......"

He stood up, picked up the letter from the will, and walked straight to Midon.

"Well, here's for you."

He slipped the letter into Midong's hand: "It was supposed to be something that should be read after the death of the old man, but now that none of them are there, you can take a look first!" ”
