Sumida Ward, KAKUMAZU Ryotei
The crisp sound played by the Sanmi line, combined with the silence of shakuhachi, was created with a low and melodious female chant.
In this pleasing tune, six women wearing luxurious kimono and complex accessories on their hair, gently waving folding fans while dancing and swaying on the stage in the lobby.
Kojima is one of the six major reserves in Japan's so-called flower and willow world. More than a dozen geisha kiosks here still retain very traditional geisha performances, and kakumazu is one of the more famous ones.
A golden screen stands at the back of the stage, and the lights in the ceiling are lit from top to bottom, illuminating the screen, rendering the tones around the stage into bright yellow, giving people a luxurious and elegant visual effect.
Today's kakumazu is not open to the public, and some people have bought it for a lot of money. Therefore, in the dining area near the stage, there is only a long short dining table, and Miyashita Kita is sitting on the main seat of this short dining table at this time.
Today's dinner was not initiated by Miyashita Kita. The real initiator was the old and thin guy sitting opposite him. His name is Hiroo Mizushima. Although he looks naughty, he is like an indecent and sloppy old man. But in reality, he is the current president of Sogo Department Store, and he has been in office since 1962 and has been in office.
Before Hiroo Mizushima took office as president, Sogo Department Store was just a company that had less than ten branches across Japan. In the past 30 years, under the leadership of Hiroo Mizushima, Sogo Department Store first shouted the slogan of Ten Heavy and opened ten branches across Japan, and then Duble Ten Heavy and Triple Ten Heavy. Until now, its branches have gone out of Japan and have opened a large number of branches in Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, etc., Asian countries, becoming a well-deserved multinational commercial group.
It can be seen from this that Hiroo Mizushima's personal abilities are still very outstanding, and they are not comparable indiscriminately.
On this long table, in addition to Miyashita Kitani and Mizushima Hiroo, there is also a tall and thin middle-aged man who is about fifty years old. His name is Masaki Hachijo and he is the president of Citibank's Japanese branch.
Interestingly, in the past life of Kita Kitani, Changxin Bank went bankrupt, implemented a regeneration plan and was acquired by the US private equity fund. After that, it was renamed Xinsheng Bank, and Masaki Yashi was the first president of Xinsheng Bank.
This dinner was arranged by Hiroo Mizushima. It has no specific purpose. It is actually the so-called regular reception. Starting 20 years ago, almost at this time of year, as the president of Sogo Department Store, Hiroo Mizushima will arrange such a dinner.
When Old Man Akamoto was still alive, he would attend such a banquet. After Akamoto died, such banquet would be attended by Miyashita Kita.
Over the past 30 years, Sogo Department Store has developed rapidly under the leadership of Hiroo Mizushima. For any company, to achieve such an expansion speed, it requires sufficient financial support. There are three main banks that provide expansion funds for Sogo Department Store: Industrial Bank, Citibank and Long-term Credit Bank.
Among these three banks, Industrial Bank is the largest investor. This is because before Mizushima Hirooshima took office as the president of Sogo Department Store, he was an executive of Industrial Bank. As far as Miyashita Kita knows, in the past 30 years, Sogo Department Store has received loans from Industrial Bank, which will definitely not be less than 60 billion yen.
In the previous life of Miyashita Kitan, Sogo Department Store went bankrupt in about two thousand years, and Industrial Bank suffered huge losses. In the end, the bank introduced Hiroo Mizushima, who was over 90 years old, to court, asking him to personally compensate the bank for a huge amount of 12.7 billion yen. At that time, Hiroo Mizushima had been paralyzed for a long time and had a few days left to live.
Of course, for Kita Kita Miyashita, whether Sogo Department Store will go bankrupt in the future has nothing to do with him. Changxin Bank and Sogo Department Store are not responsible for the financial transactions between Changxin Bank and Sogo Department Store. All he needs to do is shut up at this time.
The dinner lasted for nearly two hours, and it was a pleasure for both guests and hosts. When Mujikiki said goodbye and left, Masaki Hachi came out of the pavilion with him. Taking advantage of the time when no one paid attention, the former whispered: What are the arrangements for Akamoto?
Oh, Miyashita Kita glanced at the other person, and saw that the other person's eyes were floating, he smiled and said, "It's still early, do you have any good suggestions for Hachijun?"
If Akamoto is willing to enjoy the scenery, Masaki Hachihe turned his head and looked behind him, making sure Mizushima had not come out of the store yet, and then said, "Let's go have a drink for another two drinks, I have some good arrangements."
Then I'll bother Mr. Eight City. The palace korean bent down slightly and bowed and said,
This is my honor. Masaki Hachichi smiled and said, "I'll leave my car in front later, and Akamoto-kun will follow you."
Miyashita Kita nodded and looked at his Mercedes-Benz sedan that was driving over
After a while, the convoy set off slowly, and headed on the right path in an orderly manner, heading towards the central area.
Half an hour later, the convoy parked downstairs of the Sujiyabashi club in the back alley of Ginza Chuo Street. When Miyashita Kita got out of the car, he subconsciously glanced at the colorful lights hanging on the side of the stairs. The sign of Sujiyabashi's sign caught his eyes, which made him frown unconsciously.
The Sukiyabashi club is in Tokyo, no, it should be said that it is famous throughout Japan. It is called the literary club. All the famous Japanese writers have been here, and those who have just become famous are proud to be qualified to enter this club.
For example: Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata and others are all members here. In addition, since the club was opened, there have been no less than ten Japanese Prime Ministers who have become members of the department.
The owner of this club is named Shizuka Sonoda, a legendary figure in Ginza. In Fujio's comic "Doraemon", the little girl named Shizuka was obtained by Shizuka Sonoda
However, even such a famous club, Miyashita Kita didn't like it very much. To be more precise, he didn't like all the clubs in the back alleys of Ginza Chuo Street because it was not his world.
The mothers of Ginza Club have a verbal saying: Those who are popular in Ginza will always be the first-class man in Japan
The Ginza they are talking about is not the entire Ginza, but the so-called Ginza. If it is divided from a geographical point of view, it is the back alley of the Central Street and the alley of the Central Street
As for this so-called first-class man, it is not about those rich and powerful men, but about men with reputation and reputation, such as writers, top professors, philanthropists, etc. As for so-called big names like Miyashita Kita who have a gangster background, it is the most unpopular here.
This is the most fundamental reason why he doesn't like it here
Akamoto Kwan got out of the car immediately after Miyashiki Kita. Masaki Hachi walked quickly behind him and said with a smile, I have booked a room here.
As he said this, he also made a gesture of asking for help
Please, Miyashita Kita was polite and then walked forward
Although it is a literary club that is well-known in Japan, the interior decoration of Sukiyabashi is not as luxurious as imagined. On the contrary, compared with those high-end clubs that often consume millions of yen, it looks a bit simple.
The room booked by Masaki Hachi is not big, it looks like a dozen stacks. When Miyashita Kita walked into the room, he saw someone sitting there next to the only dining table in the room.
Among these two people, the most eye-catching one is a strong and bearded white man, who is about fifty years old, while the other is a short and white middle-aged man. This man knows Miyashita Kita, who is Suzuki Masashi, the chairman of Nomura Securities.
Seeing Miyashita Kita coming in from outside the door, the two people at the table stood up at the same time. Masashi Suzuki, who was half short, bowed first and said with a smile: Akamoto, we meet again
Miyashita Kita glanced at the bearded man, and after a moment, he smiled and bowed back and said, "It turned out to be Suzuki Jun, haha, Hachijun, but I was joking with me. I thought I was just a small gathering in private and had two glasses of wine, but I didn't expect that this place would be a Hongmen banquet.
Nowadays, among the large banks in Japan, only Changxin Bank has a relatively good operating condition. Therefore, Nomura Securities had submitted an application for financial assistance to Changxin, hoping to use a large sum of money for turnover
However, this application was rejected by Miyashita Kita, who is the bank supervisor, because Nomura Securities did not make a clear explanation of the nature of the use of the funds.
No, no, Akamoto misunderstood. Masaki Yachi, who was walking behind, explained that today's party had nothing to do with Suzuki's previous fund application...
He paused, then took a step forward, made a gesture of invitation, and said: Akamoto, please take your seat first, I will introduce you to a new friend
Hearing that he said, Miyashita nodded, staring at the big white man with a smile, thinking quickly in his mind
He looked familiar with this white man, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.
Akamoto, this is Mr. Mark Schwarts, on the dining table, Masaki Hachichi said, You should know that last week, Goldman Sachs Japan just made a leadership adjustment and appointed a new president...
Mark Schwarts?
Miyashita Kitani instantly remembered the other party's identity. Just as Masaki Hachi said, this person is the president of Goldman Sachs Japan. Of course, the reason why Miyashita Kitani can remember this person is because in his previous life, Goldman Sachs Japan led by this person made a lot of money during the Asian financial crisis. It is also because of this performance that he became one of the vice presidents of Goldman Sachs Group.
The crisp sound played by the Sanmi line, combined with the silence of shakuhachi, was created with a low and melodious female chant.
