Irie Yuta kept his duty in mind, and quickly returned to the cabin above.
He soon felt that maybe the president guy was really in danger tonight and might be attacked by a group.
Jeffrey admired their unique and high-level musical performance in private, and said with satisfaction: "Tomorrow's dinner with Prince Hassar, please invite them to attend, and then watch the performance in costumes."
As night fell, the carnival on the yacht outside Tokyo Bay seemed to have just begun.
Chapter 548 , An Unprecedented Christmas Gift
The ostentation of Prince Hassar's arrival was the same as before, and ordinary people thought it was just a carnival for the nobles of the royal family.
It has become the Gate of Heaven, a new suicide resort. After more than a month of various "soul suppression" and "exorcism", it is now full of guests.
Tao Zhiming felt that this vividly interpreted a word: Grave Head Jumping Disco.
This dinner is divided into two parts, the first part is very formal.Not only will there be dignitaries from various business circles, but Hashimoto Taro and Abe Zenjiu will also attend.Naturally, a real sideshow was arranged for the first dinner.
"Why did you just let Kimura-kun and the others go to the show?"
It was Akina Nakamori who called, but Tao Zhiming wondered if Izumi Sakai was eavesdropping.
So he asked speechlessly: "What do you really want to ask?"
"...The main reason is that a reporter came to interview me and said that Prince Jeffrey expressed his appreciation for me..."
Tao Zhiming raised his voice a little: "You just have to follow Qiu Yuanjun's arrangement. It's not that I don't understand, I'm busy, that's all."
After hanging up the phone and handing it to Toshio Ogata, Tao Zhiming continued to face the mirror and straighten his clothes.
Ueda Shana on the side frowned: "Wait a minute, do you really want to come home first? Can't you talk about things in another place?"
"They are all curious about how my residence is like as an important person in Nihong now. You have to adapt to family banquets later as a wife. Not only at noon today, but many people will come with their families in the future, Hashimoto Sang also made a date with me."
Before Ueda Shana temporarily lived in the dojo in Kyoto, Tao Zhiming did not have a very formal residence.
After months of "soul suppression and exorcism" farce, many people knew that it was arranged because Mrs. Tao felt uneasy.
The dignified Tao Dalang has actually settled down at the Gate of Heaven. The economic situation is changing this year, and many people really hope to visit.
Ueda Shana was frowning and always felt uncomfortable.
The head of the housemaid, Maki Kano, was busy while commanding.
"...Is the wine ready? Akashi-sensei, what else do you need me to do next?"
The chef who specially invited over said with embarrassment: "Miss Lu Ye, my apprentice is also responsible for the preparation of the ingredients, and you are only responsible for the things I said before."
"...Oh, I see." Shikano Maki bent over, "I'm sorry for the trouble, it's really out of fear. After all, I'm the prince and prince of the foreign royal family, I..."
"I understand. Although it is said to be a family banquet...but since Master Hashimoto is here, it is considered a state banquet. Please rest assured, Master Mengtao appreciates it, and I will definitely do my best."
He is the chef in charge of cooking at Taoranting, and he is quite familiar with Hashimoto Taro, after all, he used to go there often.
It's just that this time there is a royal family from abroad, which indeed involves decency.
"Sister Maki! The guests are coming!" Another maid, Moyu Terasawa, appeared nervously at the door and shouted.
"Quick! Let's meet at the door together! Where's Ayane?"
"Over there at the entrance..."
Shikano Maki and Terasawa Mosuke hurried to the living room, and stood in a row with Sakamoto Ayane.
Tao Zhiming and Ueda Shana in kimono stood there, and said with a smile, "It's fine if you don't break the etiquette, why are you so nervous?"
Shikano Maki lowered his head: "Our upbringing represents the decency of you and your wife. Please rest assured, master and wife, we will definitely do well."
Tao Zhiming was noncommittal.
After a while, it was really like visiting the door. Someone knocked on the door first.
Shikano Maki hurried over to open the door, and after opening it, he saw a lot of people standing outside.
"Bravo!" Hassar shouted enthusiastically first, and even said a specious neon language, "Long time no see!"
"Welcome, welcome, please come in." Tao Zhiming smiled and bowed, and Ueda Shana naturally followed suit, looking extremely quiet.
In addition to Jeffrey, Hassar, and Walid, there are Hashimoto Taro and Abe Zhuanjiu.
As for the three members of the royal family, except for Waleed, the other two each have a butler standing behind them with something in their hands.
When visiting, gifts are essential.
Seeing this, Tao Zhiming greeted with a smile: "Jiro, wise, come quickly, there are gifts from uncles!"
Shikano Maki is numb, is it appropriate to do this?
Yet they seemed happy.
"Ah, Mrs. Tao is really beautiful and elegant!"
Facing the praise, Ueda Shana was a little embarrassed, and pulled the two sons who were a little nervous and curious: "Welcome to our house as a guest, Maki, prepare the tea."
Tao Zhiming said to them casually: "The house is not big, so you can see it in two steps, and you don't need to visit the bedroom. My house is really not as elaborate and special as you think."
After speaking, he took them to visit the living room, sports area, kendo room, tea room and study room.
Toshio Ogata stayed in the living room with the butler who came with them.
Jeffrey glanced casually, and then said: "Mr. Tao, with your strength, even if you like the view from a high place, you should use the whole floor no matter what."
Tao Zhiming said solemnly: "There are only a few people in the family usually, what do you need such a big place for?"
After finishing speaking, he blinked fiercely, and motioned to Ueda Shana who was on the side.
Jeffrey came to know it, and laughed out loud, feeling a little smug.
Hassar also said, "I heard that Bravo's sword skills are not as strong as yours, Mrs. Tao."
Ueda Shana naturally knew what they were talking about, and complained that they were all playboy bastards, but he still had to answer quietly: "Where is it?"
When they entered the tea room, Ueda Shana took the two sons and retreated to the children's room and play room.
Space was left for them, Shikano Maki helped to make tea, and Terasawa Moyu also brought coffee and refreshments.
Tao Zhiming acted as an interpreter, and the six of them started chatting.
Of course they won't talk about serious business now, so they're all just talking politely to each other.
Even if it is Hassar, Walid, and Jeffrey, the people they are facing are, after all, high-ranking political officials in Nihong.
Today's occasion is incomparable to last night's Hu Tianhudi. Even Jeffrey can express his own opinions on some major national events.
But in the ears of Hashimoto Taro and Abe Zhuanjiu, their knowledge is far behind that of Tao Dalang.
"...After the incident in Hongsu in August, Prince Hassar, you are also very nervous?" Jeffrey also asked.
How does Hassar understand this?
But at any rate, the weight is getting heavier and heavier now, and I am concerned about some things, so I said on the scene: "It's not necessary to be nervous. It's just that the war at the beginning of the year had a great impact. After 8 months, the oil field fire in Kurt finally came to an end. It was all wiped out."
After all, the shrewdest Walid asked Hashimoto Taro: "Your Majesty Hashimoto, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your re-assignment as the Finance Minister of Neon. I heard that Neon is planning a series of bill revisions, which is also the future of Neon. Part of the changing world situation?"
"The world is changing, and this is something that everyone has seen." Hashimoto Taro is tight-lipped, "Neon's new cabinet must first ensure that in the current situation, it will do its best to protect the future of the people. Everything is well thought out. Think about it, and believe that our cooperation negotiation this time will definitely achieve a satisfactory result for everyone.”
"Then what do you think about Hongsu's future direction?" Walid continued to seize this rare opportunity to ask.
This is not in public. In Tao Zhiming's house, the opportunity to have a private conversation with Nihong Finance Minister is very valuable to bankers and investors like Waleed.
Although Taro Hashimoto didn't look at Tao Zhiming, but thinking about his previous "prophecy", he could only play the euphemism of the neon man and said: "The aftermath of the August incident has not subsided, and we are also very concerned about the situation in Hongsu now." Concern. In September they recognized the independence of the three alliance countries, and where the current situation will go is really a mess."
Walid didn't hear any useful news, so he couldn't help looking at Tao Zhiming.
"...Mr. Tao, I remember you said something to me in Baharin three years ago." Walid asked earnestly, "You said that within five years, or even within three years, Hongsu might cease to exist. Now, The situation has become very delicate."
Hashimoto Taro, Abe Zhuanjiu and Jeffrey were all shocked.
He said this three years ago?
Tao Zhiming smiled: "I think the signs are very obvious now, so I stick to my judgment. Isn't inviting everyone here this time just to prepare for this matter?"
Seeing that Waleed wanted to ask more questions, Tao Zhiming raised his hand: "Prince Waleed, I still have time this afternoon. Now let everyone have an atmosphere where we can enter into a candid communication, and then taste the wine later, it will be even more important." There's status."
"Has Mr. Jamie Dimon arranged for someone to come over this afternoon?"
Tao Zhiming shook his head and became more imposing: "They are not needed. They will be very happy if you can help Ami Petroleum obtain an additional large order. Your Excellency Jeffrey, they also need to realize a large amount of funds in their hands now. You will gain the friendship of a lot of big men in the United States. This feast, we have no chance to be the main entry force, but there is still a chance to get enough returns."
Jeffrey's eyes lit up: "It's exciting."
For him, as the head of the Levin Investment Bureau, if he can reach a very powerful cooperation with Nihong and Ouyert, and at the same time lay a deeper foundation for his personal future, he will gain unimaginable The wealth is too attractive.
After all, he is just a prince, and the position of king has nothing to do with him after all.
Compared with the risks brought by such a big ambition, isn't money, luxury cars, and beautiful women enough to smell good?
Similarly, compared with such an opportunity, what is the price of the real estate bought here at the Gate of Heaven?
The first dinner was formal, but the second wasn't a dinner, it was just a repeat of the night before.
It's just not at sea, but on land.
Hearing that many people committed suicide by jumping off the building before the Gate of Heaven, Hassar felt that it was inappropriate, and moved the venue to the Prince Hotel, the home port of the yacht they had chartered.
Naturally, Hashimoto Taro and the others would not attend this party. They are really not as unscrupulous as the royal children of those complete monarchy countries.
Besides, in those two countries, polygamy is legally allowed.
After the afternoon's secret conversation, Jeffrey now felt that his relationship with Tao Zhiming was better, so he said carelessly through his drink: "Bravo, why not immigrate to Levin. In that case, how many palaces do you build and how many women do you put in?" , and no one will care about you!"
"...Do you think I'm being watched?" Tao Zhiming was a little tired of their making such a fuss, "It's just that we're so close, it's better to go home and sleep."
"These beauties who are not neon are also very interested in you! It would be nice to invite someone to drink tea."
There are more people today than last night, it is really a gathering of beauties from all over the world.
And drinking tea is Jeffrey's special language, and he behaves very gentlemanly, but in fact the tea has the taste of the sea.
Tao Zhiming waved his hands: "I have a very important press conference tomorrow morning, and I didn't sleep well last night. And I'm leaving, isn't it you who is the most handsome?"
Jeffrey laughed heartily.
When he got downstairs, he saw the sports car Jeffrey bought yesterday parked downstairs, and Tao Zhiming threw the key to Irie Yuta: "Here you are."
"..." Irie Yuta was a little confused.
"Yuma's baby is about to be born, so you should work harder. You drive a sports car and are liked by girls." Tao Zhiming teased, and then said, "I think Asuka is pretty good, and you two are pretty good together. Interesting, do you want to try it?"
"..." Irie Yuta remained speechless.
"Let's go home." Tao Zhiming muttered, "My Xia Na is cuter."
After all, Tao Zhiming is not as wanton as Jeffrey and the others in such occasions.
It's even more beautiful to move the heart and the kidneys at the same time.
Back in Zhenyingju, Ueda Shana was really surprised.
I thought he would "entertain" like last night.
"His yacht is so small, there is no way to park the helicopter, otherwise I would have returned last night!" Tao Zhiming said perfunctorily, and then went forward, "Madam's elegance today has always made me angry!"
Downstairs, Irie Yuta sat in this brand new sports car, and after a while, he still took out his mobile phone and dialed out.
"...do you... like sports cars?"
……
Tao Zhiming's so-called important press conference is a very simple matter for him.
But in his capacity, any public statement is very important.
Reporters gathered at the headquarters building of the Peach Club. After Tao Zhiming took the stage, he finished his opening remarks and got straight to the point: "Because of the false reports of many media, many people choose to end their lives at the gate of heaven. Since there has become a place that many people avoid Haunted House, in order to upgrade the security measures there more conveniently and prevent more tragedies from happening, so we are going to buy back the real estate there.”
Is there a need for a special development conference on this matter?
But Tao Zhiming went on to say: "The ones who buy real estate in Gate of Heaven are those top-level commercial properties that do not affect the overall situation of the real estate and residential markets. Now that real estate prices are falling, many buyers may not want to reveal that they are short of funds and need to sell. The facts about assets. So, let’s just tell everyone in this way.”
"Because of the name 'Haunted House', the real estate prices in Gate of Heaven have fallen sharply. Under the current situation, there are not many people who can afford to buy real estate there, and it may be difficult to resell it, so I will simply go back and forth by myself. Buy it." Tao Zhiming paused, and emphasized, "The price will be 10% higher than the current real price. The effective time is until the end of this month. This is the last chance!"
"above!"
The so-called important press conference is as simple as that.
The reporters obviously understood what he meant, and instead rushed to ask questions.
"President Tao...the last chance, your judgment is that the decline in the real estate market will not stop?"
