Hearing that Hiroshi Hisahara had his own request, Shirakawa Kaede was ready for bloodletting.

After all, what can impress these chaebols, how can they do it without a little catty.

In the final analysis, it is still an exchange of interests, and if Shirakawa Kaede wants to take a stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, he will have to come up with something in exchange for Nissan's release.

While Shirakawa Kaede was staring at Hiroshi Kuhara, the latter slowly took out a photo from his arms.

"Shirakawa-san, please take a look."

Shirakawa Kaede, who didn't know why, took the photo and looked at it twice, but his heart became more and more confused.

The photo shows a little girl in a kimono who looks to be about four or five years old.

In the background is a courtyard, and the little girl is sitting on the bluestone steps with an oil-paper umbrella, smiling delicately and cutely.

"Kuhara-san, is this...?" Shirakawa Kaede waited for the other party to open the conditions, but what did he mean by handing over a photo?

"This is Keiko, my eldest granddaughter, who just turned four this year. I heard that Shirakawa-san's son and Keiko are the same age? ”

Hisahara Yu's simple words shocked Shirakawa Kaede's body.

He turned his head to look at Takayuki Kitano, who was sipping sake on the side, and the smile on his face turned slightly serious when he put down his glass.

"Senior Brother Shirakawa, the continuation of the Neon Family has always been a sacred thing.

If we want to pass on our excellent bloodlines, then we must also find the corresponding other half of the excellent bloodlines.

In addition, family to family, chaebol and chaebol, this circle is much smaller than imagined.

For example, me and Kuhara-san, or me and Shirakawa-san. ”

Kitano Takashi's words made Shirakawa Kaede fall silent again.

Why did he make an appointment to meet Yu Kuhara today, and why did he call Takashi Kitano? It's because Takayuki Kitano is Hiroshi Kuhara's uncle.

That's right, although Kitano Takayuki is not a few years older than Hiroshi Kuhara, he is a generation older than the latter.

The reason is that Kuhara Bonosuke gave birth to eight daughters, of which the fourth daughter, Shigeko Kuhara, married Kitano Takako.

So in terms of relationship, these two families are actually relatives.

And Kitano Takashi is also Shirakawa Kaede's senior brother, and the three of them sat down at the table, and after a closer look, they were all inextricably linked.

Shirakawa Kaede, who has just started a short time ago, now has intricate threads of interests, which shows that the neon family and the chaebol are even more intertwined.

And that's true, like the daughters of Bonosuke Kuhara just mentioned.

Some were married to the Seibu Group's Tsutsumi family, some to the Goto family of Tokyu Electric Railway, and some to the Ishii family, a political family.

At the same time, Bonosuke Kuhara himself is also the brother-in-law of Yoshisuke Ayukawa, who is one of the founding families of Nissan and Hitachi.

There is also Hiroshi Kuhara, who is now sitting in front of Shirakawa Kaede, his mother is the eldest daughter of the Fujita family, and his wife is the eldest daughter of the Sakai family.

The Fujita family is also one of the founding families of Nissan and Hitachi, and the highest family in the Sakai family is an earl.

Look, this complex relationship. It is no exaggeration to say that if you pull one out of the neon family or the chaebol, you may be relatives of each other.

And now Kuhara Yu took out his eldest granddaughter and put it in front of Shirakawa Kaede.

Although Shirakawa Kaede knows that this is common in the Neon family, he may also face this situation in the future.

It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and the object of marriage is still my son.

With a tangled gaze, he sighed softly.

"Kuhara-san, Inuko Clearsky is indeed the same age as Miss Keiko, but... Isn't that too early? After all, they are still too small. ”

If you can, Shirakawa Kaede really doesn't want to set a marriage for her son when he is still in kindergarten.

What is the difference between this and the doll relatives in ancient China? But this is a place where neon, families and chaebols run rampant.

If you don't have a criss-cross relationship with each other, it is estimated that your next generation will be difficult, right?

But this is still too early, and Shirakawa Kaede is trying to fight for more lenient conditions.

As for Shirakawa Kaede's reply, Hiroshi Kuhara was not angry at all.

"Shirakawa-san is right, the child is indeed too young. So we just pay lip service to each other in the future if they grow up and don't hate each other.

Then this family matter, please ask Shirakawa-san to make the decision on his behalf. ”

Kuhara Yu did not force Shirakawa Kaede to do this family affair on the spot, but left a little leeway for each other.

However, he never considered whether his granddaughter or Shirakawa Kaede's son had an opinion.

The marriage of the children of the family is not up to them.

They were born into a family and enjoyed superhuman treatment. Then when the family needs them, the latter must also obey unconditionally.

Freely? Sorry, this does not apply to marriages to families.

It may sound cold-blooded, but that's the reality. Especially in Neon, which is known for its closed, traditional colors.

Shirakawa Kaede hesitated slightly for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, according to what Kuhara-san said. If the future is suitable, the marriage of the two will be decided. ”

Shirakawa Kaede didn't go to bargain, he knew that he was in neon, and there were some rules to follow.

Various marriages between the family and the chaebol were not avoided by the Shirakawa family.

I just hope that these two little guys can get along happily in the future.

Seeing Shirakawa Kaede nodding in agreement, both Hiroshi Kuhara and Takayuki Kitano had a smile on their faces.

They raised their glasses and gestured slightly, "So it's a matter of words, please rest assured that the Nissan Kuhara family will be responsible for unifying opinions." ”

"Please, two of you" Shirakawa Kaede also picked up the wine glass, and the three of them touched it lightly and drank it all in one go.

Next, the staggered and laughter were not mentioned, and there was the possibility of a further relationship, and the atmosphere between the banquets was more eager.

But after all, it was the first time that Shirakawa Kaede had experienced such a thing, and it would have been better if it had been him.

It's just put on the child, which is still a bit of a conflict with his three views in his previous life.

Alas, I hope that Xiao Qingkong can understand this bond between the neon family as soon as possible in the future.

As the first in line to the throne, some things are already predestined. At the same time, in the future, maybe Xiao Qingtian himself will also face today's situation.

If you gain some, you will always lose others, and there is no fairness in the world.

Unlike Shirakawa Kaede's heart, Yu Kuhara is in a good mood.

Originally, because of Fuji Heavy Industries' losses, the Kuhara family has been advocating the sale of the shares originally held.

After all, Nissan and Hitachi are the core of the family, a loss-making industry that duplicates the core business, so why not get rid of it as soon as possible?

Now that there is Shirakawa Kaede's initiative to take over, and he has made a promise to in-law with the other party's family in vain, is there anything dissatisfied?

Don't look at the fact that the Shirakawa chaebol has just been born, but it has made rapid progress in various fields. and the enterprising spirit shown by the family, which has attracted the attention of some old money.

And these are exactly what an old family like the Kuhara family lacks, and the global rich list is not all gimmicks.

The financial strength of the Shirakawa chaebol has made most of the six major chaebols look sideways.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no extra school-age men in his family, Yudu Kuhara would have wanted to give one to Shirakawa Kaede as an adopted son.

Sounds incredible? It's almost the 90s, and Neon still has an adopted son?

The closure and tradition of neon are beyond imagination, and it is not uncommon for major families to send each other and recognize each other's fathers.

For example, Hiroshi Kuhara's grandfather, Kuhara Bonosuke, he accepted Tsutsumi Masaan of the Seibu Group Tsutsumi family as his adopted son.

Another family behind Nissan, the Fujita family, also adopted the Sagawa family as an adopted son.

These families themselves are chaebols, and the reason why they also send adopted sons to each other is also to further deepen their ties with each other.

And when these adopted sons grow up, they often marry the daughters of the corresponding families.

This is equivalent to an adopted son and son-in-law in one, according to their respective circumstances when they become adults.

An adopted son can return to his original family to resume his old surname, or of course he can continue to be an adopted son, or even hold an important position in his stepfather's family.

In short, the variety of relationships is dizzying, and even today it is not uncommon.

However, although Hiroshi Kuhara thought so in his heart, Shirakawa Kaede did not necessarily agree.

The verbal agreement just now has made him feel uneasy, and he really can't accept another adopted son.

After three rounds of drinking, the two sides exchanged with each other again, and Shirakawa Kaede was not strong enough to drink, so he left in advance.

Only Hiroshi Kuhara and Takako Kitano were left in the izakaya, and the originally noisy atmosphere gradually cooled down.

"Kuhara-san, will Nissan really give up its stake in Fuji Heavy Industries?

The opinions within the Fujita family and the Sukawa family don't seem to be unified. ”

Although Kitano Takayuki is a generation older than Kuhara Yu, the two are still on an equal footing in private.

The relationship between the family is too complicated, and if you really want to trace the roots, then all kinds of strange names between each other will come out.

So in order to avoid embarrassment, people with little age difference simply get along as friends.

And after listening to Kitano Takako's question, Kuhara Yu smiled disapprovingly.

"Fuji Heavy Industries has suffered huge losses for three consecutive years, which has made most people within Nissan unhappy.

Coupled with the fact that Nissan needs to concentrate on Toyota's expansion, Fuji Heavy Industries has not been involved in decision-making and management for a long time. ”

What Kuhara Yu said was the truth, and the combination of the two families was the reason for the usual provincial coordination.

Although they both belong to the Fuji Foundation, the relationship between Nissan and Fuji Heavy Industries is also delicate internally because the overlap between the businesses of Nissan and Fuji Heavy Industries is too high.

There is no doubt that Nissan, which is second only to Toyota in neon and fifth in the world, occupies an absolute core position.

This has created a situation in which Fuji Heavy Industries can only play on the edge and has a weak sense of existence.

Now if you want Nissan to get rid of the shares of Fuji Heavy Industries, to be honest, Hisahara Yuki is quite sure.

If you lose money and have a chance to get rid of it, you can make another premium to make a profit, why should you refuse this deal?

Besides, there is nothing that Fuji Heavy Industries can make Nissan look up to, and Nissan is ahead of Fuji Heavy Industries in terms of technology.

The latter is like a piece of chicken ribs, it is a pity to discard it if it is useless to eat.

Kuhara Yu is very aware of this situation, which is why he dares to agree to Shirakawa Kaede.

Tsk, I made a lot of money for nothing, and I can tie up an emerging chaebol, no matter how you look at it, it's a good deal.

Thinking of the wonders, Hisahara Yu couldn't help but drink a glass happily.

"Ha~" Putting down the wine glass, a smile appeared on Hisahara Yu's face, "It seems that Keiko is going to transfer schools?" ”

"Huh?" Kitano Takaxing turned his gaze a little puzzled.

"The boy of the Shirakawa family is in Keio Kindergarten, and Keiko will also transfer from Matsuto Kindergarten after the fall.

When the time comes, I will take good care of Keiko and the boys of the Shirakawa family in the same class and preferably at the same table.

In the future, the two of them will go from kindergarten to university together, and since they are still young, they will take the opportunity to get to know each other better. ”

Kuhara Yukazu's words of course did not surprise Kitano Takako.

It's just a trivial means of maintaining family relationships.

"Kuhara-san, it's still as leaky as always!"

"Haha, drink ~ drink ~ "
