"In addition to this incident, I will tell you some information that I have investigated during this time."

Asa Kazama pondered for a moment, organized the language, and then opened his mouth and said to Mai Amamiya:

"You've heard the story of Kaguya-hime."

Mai Amamiya rolled her eyes: "In Toei, it's still quite difficult for you to find someone who hasn't heard Kaguya's story." ”

Kazama Asaba nodded.

Kaguyahime, the character in "The Tale of Taketori", is in the island country, but it is a masterpiece similar to "The Tale of Genji", and there are naturally many people who know it.

He continued, "Genji is derived from The Tale of Genji, and it is one of the oldest families in Toei, but many years ago, when the previous generation of family heads inherited Genji, Genji was on the verge of collapse.

When the old family took over Genji, Genji was on the verge of losing even his core foundation. ”

Dongying is a country that exudes a stale taste from top to bottom.

Under normal circumstances, the way they select and employ people internally is almost solidified, and the set of father to son can be said to be deeply rooted in this land, and it is almost difficult to break through, so that if you glance at the parliamentarians who understand Dongying, you will find that there are those people back and forth.

It can be said that in this land, it is still very difficult for the famous family to collapse.

However, being very difficult does not mean that it is completely impossible.

Genji encountered a similar situation back then.

What Kazama Asaba and Mai Amamiya said was some news that Genji was extremely secretive.

That was more than fifty years ago.

At that time, Genji's old head Minamoto Xiudian was still a young man who had just inherited Genji's foundation, and he thought about showing his strength within Toei.

However, at that time, Dongying was in the most severe time, and those years were the time when mold was the most dominant in this land.

The iron fist of America from across the sea made the Toei tremble at that time, and the wounds left by the love of Hiroshima made the whole world applaud.

is the so-called craziest era, not to mention Genji, where Gen Xiudian is located, even if you say that you are the Yaki Orochi, you can't stop other people's malice towards you, in the face of the crisis of survival, Genji encountered a black hand under the combination of internal and external.

For a while, the flow of funds was cut off, the mansion was robbed, and even Yuan Xiudian himself almost hung up directly.

Later, Yuan Xiudian quietly left behind many people and disappeared for several years.

When he reappeared, he had already reorganized his subordinates and successfully threw the rebellious partition cement into Tokyo Bay.

Later, Gen Xiudian didn't know where to get a sum of financial support, and soon relied on Genji's original prestige to regain part of the industry, and then developed rapidly, even stronger than when he first took over Genji, and had more foundations.

The old man of that generation gave him the name of [Zhihu], thinking that he was wise and cunning like a fox, and it is said that the old family owner had a bad reputation back then, but it was useless.

Musk's partners also scolded Musk for being a madman and a bastard, but it did not prevent others from making money every day.

It was under such circumstances that Genji developed at an unprecedented speed, and no one knew what the head of the family, Gen Xiudian, had done, and where the money that he didn't know where it came from came from.

I only know that Genji has developed to the last century, and after the energy in the traditional industry has reached its peak, the old owner of Genji, who has not retired at that time, directly and decisively asked Genji to change the development of the industry up and down.

The original automobile manufacturing, real estate, energy and chemical industries have been slowly sold off or exchanged for interests, and the focus of development has been placed on an industry that has been heavily invested by giants, although many people have paid attention to it in Dongying.

Biology.

In the past, this thing was more of the privilege of those countries in the West, although Dongying has been catching up with the first-class industry in the case of crazy catch-up in recent years, but it is still far from the situation that has achieved industrialization on the other side of the sea.

It was under such circumstances that Genji plunged headlong into this deep pit.

In particular, the real estate industry at that time, which can be said to be one of Genji's core cash flows, caused a rebound within Genji after being sold off on a large scale.

Although the authority of the head of the Genji family is very heavy, the core that holds Genji all together is the interests of the family.

Gen Xiudian had already shaken the interests of many people in Genji at that time, so much so that there was also an impeachment within the family.

Ke Yuan Xiudian carried out his plan regardless of it, and there was quite a momentum of those who went along and those who rebelled died, and in the end, the criticism within the family was still weak.

It's not that he was afraid of Yuan Xiudian, but Yuan Xiudian directly used off-board tricks and began to endanger the lives of those opponents and their families, as if they were going to die together.

Genji finally developed again, and some poor old guys who used to be poor also enjoyed the benefits of Genji's development, how could they be willing to gamble with their lives on this matter.

In this case, Genji's strategy directly made a big turn, and he was stunned by the number of famous families.

How far did real estate develop in Tokyo in the last century? Its madness has caused various real estate companies to have an explosion of liquid cash.

Genji wanted to quit this business, and I don't know how many families and consortia wanted to take over his piece of sweet and sweet food directly, and as a matter of course, he cashed out a considerable amount of liquid cash.

At this time, the signing of the Plaza Agreement ushered in a halving of Dongying's rapid development.

A Lost Decade?

No, it's 20 or 30 years of loss, and I'm afraid there will be 40 or 50 years......

Betting on national fortunes?

If you dare to bet, then dare to die.

This time, there is no one to support Dongying.

It didn't take long for the tide of the times to drown everyone.

No matter what famous family you are, in the face of the real general trend, they will all rush away.

The funny thing is that Genji, who took out a lot of cash at that time, did not suffer much impact because the capital was free from the Dongying circle, and even after the capital returned to the capital, he also copied a lot of the family's original deep-rooted assets.

After a wave of predictions, there were no more voices against the old family owner within Genji, and this situation continues to this day, deeply affecting Genji.

When Asaba Kazama said this, Mai Amamiya was a little confused:

"These things you said, Genji has heard a lot of inside, what does it have to do with Kaguyahime?"

Asa Hakazama shook his head and said, "All this way, it really has nothing to do with Kaguyahime, but then it has something to do with it." ”

"Well, tell me?"

Kazama Asaba began to tell some stories that Mai Amamiya had never heard of before.

That story happened to be something that no one knew about within Genji, and some of the things that happened in the years when Gen Hidenori disappeared.

Under normal circumstances, such as the secrets of the old master of Genji, who were very easy to investigate, these things should have been investigated by Genji internally a long time ago.

After all, Genji was also very curious about what the old family owner did back then, who he got help from, and where he got the liquidity.

This kind of secret talk about making a fortune has never been told by the old family owner, which means that he is eager to hide this news.

Now it seems that he did hide it well...... Until the light feather Kazama adds money.

The partner of the shallow feather Kazama is a private detective who has been working in the industry for a long time.

This person regards money as his life, which is quite similar to the character of the male protagonist of "The Winner is Justice" that he watched in his previous life.

After getting the explanation that Asaba Kazama added money, he began to intensify the investigation.

For example, it is not easy to sort out the development of Genji in the past few decades, and it is not easy to find people who understand this information, and then extract scattered information from them.

What Yuan Xiudian experienced in the years since he disappeared, even if he wanted to know, he didn't have the ability to do it.

It was a pure coincidence that he knew about it.

The private detective's grandfather used to be a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and he was still engaged in serious crimes.

As a qualified human eye, he has amazing eyesight and a memory of what the offender looks like.

After the private investigator had no way to find out the news, he returned home, extremely annoyed that he had missed another opportunity to make money.

It just so happened that his grandfather, who was already old at the time, was tired of living in the countryside, and came to Tokyo to see his son, daughter-in-law and grandson Baobei, but when he was hunched over to help his detective grandson sort out the papers on the table, the photo of Yuan Xiudian in his youth on the table attracted his attention.

The old superintendent had seen the man.

After hearing the news from his grandfather, the private investigator was also shocked.

Because his grandfather told him that the person in the photo at that time had been reduced to begging on the street, and every time he begged with others, he also told others that as long as he was given enough money, he would tell others a secret, a secret about the ancient goddess Kaguyahime.

"Huh? Are you sure it's not the private investigator who is fooling you? ”

Hearing Asaba Kazama talk about the news, Mai Amamiya's expression was a little crying and laughing: "Although there is such an outrageous thing as adjusting genes in this world, but forget about myths and legends, it's a bit of a nonsense......"

But when she saw the unwavering expression of Asa Feather Kazama, she was a little stunned for a while.

She knew that Asaba Kazama was not a fool, and that there must be a reason for him to say this, and thought that it might be real.

"The private detective's grandfather once rescued the head of the Genji family out of kindness, and my partner never dragged his feet when it came to making money.

He quickly changed his mind and followed his grandfather's footsteps to investigate the behind-the-scenes news of his grandfather's meteoric rise through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Department in the years leading to retirement.

It was easier than directly investigating the past a few decades ago, and I soon learned through my grandfather's former boss that his grandfather had been treated differently by a famous family back then, and finally confirmed that the famous family ......"

"Don't you tell me it's Genji?" The corners of Mai's mouth twitched slightly.

Kazama Asaba nodded, and continued: "After confirming this news, the detective can basically confirm that the madman that his grandfather met and rescued back then is indeed the old head of Genji.

However, because the famous families rarely have direct contact with ordinary people, and they do not specifically search for relevant news, even if it is the detective's grandfather, there is almost no possibility of meeting Yuan Xiudian again.

But what really struck me was the news I found next. ”

Asa Feather Wind said indirectly.

Now that the private investigator has confirmed that the wandering beggar is Gen Xiudian himself, there is no need to continue to investigate the relevant information along Genji's information.

He changed his mind and went directly to the robbery road where Yuan Xiudian was engaged in begging back then, and found the old people who had never changed their place of residence to find out the news.

Those people have no impression of Gen Xiudian at all, but when it comes to the beggar who "exchanged the secret of the goddess Kaguya for wealth", there are some people who still have an impression.

After all, a crazy beggar can still attract a lot of attention compared to a normal beggar.

In the course of his search, the private detective makes another step forward with an old woman.

The old woman used to look at Yuan Xiudian pitifully, and she had just given the beggar a little extra food, perhaps because of this, the beggar would occasionally talk to her when she was not so hungry and would talk to her about some strange things when she was still young.

At that time, Yuan Xiudian told the story of the goddess with this kind old man, and then said with some nervousness that the goddess had returned to the land of Dongying after a thousand years and left here again.

At that time, the young old grandmother only thought that what Yuan Xiudian said was a joke, until one day later, the nervous beggar disappeared.

It is said that the beggar was financed by a wealthy local foreigner.

It didn't take long for the beggars and the rich to leave the city, and thus disappeared into history, like thousands of passers-by.

According to the old grandmother, the rich man seems to have invested in the city's steel mill before.

With this news, the private investigator found out the relevant information about the former investors of the nearby steel mill back then.

Non-local tycoons, who invested in steel mills, left the city outright......

The private investigator followed the trail all the way, eventually locking down a list of a handful of people, and then he couldn't track it down anymore.

Kazama Asaba printed the list on paper, and there were not many people in total.

Mai Amamiya swept the front few, and knew that most of them didn't seem to have any intersection with Genji, until she saw a familiar surname, her eyes shrank, and she was stunned:

"Kotaro Hatoyama?"

Asaba Kazama nodded and said heavily, "It's interesting, isn't it?" Most of this group of people should have nothing to do with you Genji, except for this Kotaro Hatoyama. ”

Or to be more precise, Kotaro Hatoyama had nothing to do with Genji before.

Even Kotaro Hatoyama had never seen Hidenori Gen in his life, and as early as more than twenty years ago, the wealthy businessman had died of illness.

But Kotaro Hatoyama has a son named Eiichi Hatoyama.

Eiichi Hatoyama has a daughter named Miyoko Hatoyama.

Miyoko Hatoyama is now married, and she has taken her husband's surname as Minamiyoko.

Minamiyoko and her husband Minamoto Zaiyoshi gave birth to a daughter named Gen Mako.

A shady scene that spans decades involves two seemingly unrelated families.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Genji family has a lot of influence in all parties, and the Hatoyama family is a frequent visitor to the Toei Council, the combination of the two is more like a marriage?

But now it seems that there are probably some things hidden in this, which are not known to the shallow feather Kazama.
