274. Second Negotiation - 2

"... are you telling me to buy only local TV and radio stations?

Ji responds with a bitter look to the remarks of Hiroaki Shirazaka, president of a television station from Osaka.

"Hiroko, what do you propose!

Hisashi Yamada, vice president of the Tokyo headquarters of the Shirazaka family newspaper, shouts in the name of Yamada.

'If you do that... our network of newspapers and television will collapse!

In contrast... from Osaka, Hiroaki Shirazaka...

'I don't mind...... let it collapse. Currently, the network is too concentrated in Tokyo. Most information is disseminated from Tokyo and people living in our region are made to watch it thankfully...... this state of affairs is distorted. You have to be right.'

'That's not true, we've got enough coverage on local topics!

Vice President Yamada, he's not convinced.

'I don't think I'm good enough. No, the question isn't whether the topic of the province is quite covered.... More than necessary, the big problem is that all the topics of Tokyo are covered too much in TV and newspapers!

Mr. Hiroako Shirazaka does not give in hard work.

"For example… an evening news show originating from a television station in Tokyo. It's a news show, so I wish I'd just run the news, but for some reason I have an extra corner. Why can you show us the features of a restaurant in Tokyo that can be eaten for 500 yen, a popular ramen shop in Tokyo, with a limited number of reputable Western confectioneries produced underground in a department store in Tokyo? If you don't live in Tokyo, aren't all the information you don't need!

Huh... that kind of show is running in the region as it is.

Sure... people from a region far from Tokyo will have trouble broadcasting like that.

In everyday life, they don't go.

'It means… let the local people know about the current epidemic in Tokyo!

Vice President Yamada says so….

'That's a big favor. You think all the sources of the information are Tokyo. The region is a region, each with its own news. We don't want to be tied to information control by Tokyo, we want to increase the coverage that suits each region.'

"Hakumitsu-kun doesn't know... Tokyo is at the heart of Japan's politics and economy. Isn't it natural that the dissemination of information should be Tokyo centric?

'Yeah, so you'll be sending out Congressional relays and stock information from Tokyo. However, it is wrong to produce everything in Tokyo and distribute it nationwide, up to other information content. More authority to the local bureau......!

'Say so... you don't just want to sell a show made in Osaka to another region...!

A representative of a television station in Osaka and... Vice President of a newspaper headquarters in Tokyo.

The two opinions do not engage at all.

'Well, fine. Hiroko Shirasaka wants me to buy out only the local company... in the end, the headquarters in Tokyo... and if I push it further, he wants to get rid of the control of his representative, Shoji Shirasaka?

Ji sums it up like that.

'Yes... because under the powerful rule by Shoji Shirazaka, we cannot have free press'

Hiroko Shirazaka answers by looking into Ji's eyes.

'But... if the ruler has changed from Mr. Shoji Shirazaka to me... do you really think you can have a free press? I may approach you more than Shoji Shirazaka to do the skewed reporting I want. "

Niyah, Ji laughs.

"It's... because we trust Kazuki."

'Well said...... What do you know about me?

Ji puts pressure on Hiroko Shirazaka.

'Either way, I know exactly what you came here with in mind... next'

Ji's eyes move from Hiroko Shirasaka to Nobuko Shirasaka.

'Let me hear your words. What did you ask me... to come here?

Shinko Shirazaka said...

"I... am closer to the Shirazaka main house than Hiroako Shirazaka"

'I know. Are you Shoji Shirazaka's older brother's daughter?

'Yes... if my father had never died young, my next uncle would never have taken office in the head of the Shirazaka family. The legitimate bloodline of the Shirazaka main house is... on me'

I see, because I can claim the legitimacy of my blood muscles... Shinko Shirasaka is the boss of a force in Shirasaka's house that opposes its owner Shoji Shirasaka.

"Last night's lapse made me decide that my uncle was no longer in charge at home. Uncle Shouxi will have you retired. And the next Lord's throne… I want my son, Tomikushi Shirasaka, to succeed me. '

...... eh.

In other words, does this Obasan... want his own son to be next in line?

"Again, the White Slope house will not go around unless the right blood-minded person on White Slope rules. If my son, Fukushi, were to take the lead, the White Slope House would return to its rightful bloodstream. Newspapers and TV stations... should boost Fukushi's aspirations. '

Isn't that... this Obasan's personal delusion?

"So please... Kazuki would like you to be the back shield of Tomikushi. Of course, I and Fukushi both vow absolute obedience to Kazuki. You can move everything in the Shirazaka family as Kazuki wishes......!

Shinko Shirazaka has a nasty grin.

'Even for Kazuki, I don't think it's ever a bad deal......!

... This Obasan doesn't care about anything else as long as his son is the head of the Shirazaka family.

I'm also going to give the Shirazaka newspaper and TV station management rights... to Ji.

The owner of the Shirazaka family... I only want honor.

Do you agree?

Ji... see Vice President Yamada.

"And thank you very much!

Vice President Yamada answered out loud.

"I… For one thing, I would like the Shirazaka family to leave the management of the newspaper and television station."

Yamada, what do you mean?

I am outraged...... Shinko Shirasaka.

'You... are you forgetting the favor you received from the Shirazaka family and telling me to banish the Shirazaka people from the company?!

'There is no annihilation...!

Vice President Yamada answers.

'For the moment......, I said. At present, Mr Chuansuke Shirazaka's problems have become bright… of national interest. And last night...... Shoji Shirazaka lead and chairman had a press conference that was like defending Shirazaka Chuansuke. Now you can't help but think that the entire Shirazaka family is covering up crimes within you!

'What are you talking about! You're disrespectful to a newspaper employee!

Yelling, Nobuko Shirasaka.

"I am the vice president! I'm an officer! I don't remember being called an employee flair!

Vice President Yamada also eats and hangs from Nobuko Shirazaka.

'Either way... the Shirazaka family's human problems are undermining the trust of newspapers and television stations. Every affiliate has been calling and faxing protests since yesterday! More than this, everyone in the White Slope house needs to leave the board...... the public won't be convinced!

'That's what you're going to bullshit the newspaper and the TV station!

'I don't have such a heart. In order to gauge the safety of newspapers and television stations, I have said that I have no better hands than to do so, so soo!

"Fukushi... what will happen to Fukushi so sooo!?

Fukushi-kun is not an officer. If only the Shirazaka family were among the employees, the public would forgive them. "

'Say that... you, all of you, are going to Ibili Fukushi, aren't you?! That's right... that's right!

'Both of you, come on!

Hiroaki Shirasaka reprimands you.

"Dear Kazuki... This is the inner fruit of Tokyo headquarters. We've been thinking about our own power struggle... about us in the province and everything!

'That's not true... I believe that a news network covering the whole country is an important asset'

"Mr. Yamada... we are not the property of Tokyo headquarters! We will be independent of Tokyo at all costs! I'm so sorry to hear about Tokyo's complexion!

Mmm......

What the hell.

"Aira... you don't know where you stand, do you?

I looked up at the video screen and Kazuki Jen said so.

"Hiroko Shirasaka backs up the independence of the local company... Shinko Shirasaka supports his son Shinji Fukushi in the main... It seems that Vice President Yamada has come to ask His Excellency to clean up the Shirasaka people from the Tokyo headquarters of the newspaper and radio respectively..."

Fengxiao Kada, the brainchild in "Private School"... yes, sum it up.

"At the end of the day... the only thing that seems to agree is that 'letting Shoji Shirazaka lose his leg from our Lord's seat'"

Shima Akira squeaks with a squeaky face.

"But... all you think about is yourself...!

That's right... the Shirazaka family?

Sometimes I just drained egoist criminals, like Shirazaka Chuansuke.

As one of you, you're not worthy of negotiation.

Ji... said so.

"Hirohiko Shirazaka... you stay in Osaka the whole time. You don't have the temper to deal with the whole of Japan... or even the whole world."

'That's not true! First of all, I think about the local area… because of the little things, I just think we should build up the trick'

'So go back to the area and build up your tricks. Shirazaka newspapers and TV stations… I'll handle local affiliates independently of you.'

"Oh no... I'm in the province, what happens to us!

"If that's what you're saying, why don't we just not be part of a major line of companies, but we can collect our own capital and start a local independent company?

'The recession in the region is tremendous. My station in Osaka can also be independent… in other parts of the country, it is impossible to start a new company.'

"If you can't survive without connecting to Tokyo... you'll have no choice but to be dominated by Tokyo headquarters"

'There... with the help of Kazuki... could you manage to invest even just the funds of the moment?

'I want you to give me the money, but don't give me your mouth... aren't you being too selfish?

Ji, hun and snort.

"It was well understood that the local company was unhappy with Tokyo... but it would be inconsistent to ask me for assistance..."

Next, Ji looks at Nobuko Shirasaka.

"Then... I'm not interested in who will be the head of the Shirazaka family. Do that on your own in the Shirazaka family......!

'Don't say that...... when Tomikushi takes the lead, I will do my best to Kazuki! I will never thank you! Please support Fukushi "

Nobuko Shirasaka complains desperately.

'I am... I prefer people who are loyal to me but more clever than fools. Smart people always understand and act on what's good for them. As long as I'm guaranteeing a profit, they'll never betray me. Conversely, a foolish human being… often behaves in his own right, not even Locke, by saying he shows loyalty to me and, as a result, inflicts tremendous damage on me'

"Fukushi... my son is a smart man. I am graduating from the government of Hayata......!

'... if you're really smart, you should be here now, without being late. There's a critical point in life that you should never take off'

Ji said.

"Now more than I have not come to this occasion... I cannot trust a man named Tomikushi Shirasaka"

"... Kazuki! Just a little more, please wait. It's some kind of mistake! The road must be crowded!

"What's more... I don't know if it's a mother who interferes disproportionately with her son's future."

Ji's words were cold.

"By the way... how old is your son Fukushi-kun this year?

I'm 38 years old.

Yeah...... that's no good.

No, you can't.

"Well... Finally, Vice President Yamada. I think your proposal is reasonable. At the same time that Shoji Shirazaka resigns from representing the newspaper... the entire board should also be re-elected '

"Yes...... thank you!

Vice President Yamada gives a joyful look that his proposal was accepted.

"Of course... you'll have to quit too."

'... Yes?

Vice President Yamada's face blues in an instant...

"Even you... have worked permanently under Shoji Shirazaka as an officer, haven't you? He should have been recognized for his abilities, too. Otherwise, you shouldn't be able to take the post of vice president '

'It's... it's true, it is'

'Well... don't you think you should retire with Shoji Shirazaka?

Silence...... Vice President Yamada.

"Negotiation is a deal. It's an exchange for something of value and something of value. But... none of the terms you offered were of value to me '

Ji... talks cold.

'So... from here on out, do as I please.... keko kun'

Ji calls Sister Kezi.

"Yes... my lord"

From outside the screen, Kazuko appears.

That figure only looks like Ji's hired beautiful secretary.

"Present me the material so that I can see these people"

"... Yes, sir."

Operate the terminal of the machine...... Keko sister.

Apparently, there's also a screen in the conference room where the jigs are showing footage.

There...... the material is projected.

Of course, the material is also shown in conjunction with the screens we are looking up at.

"This is the status of your newspaper stock. The Shirazaka family holds down 51 percent. The remaining 49 percent are held together by various companies and individual shareholders......!

Yeah...... I see.

"Even if the Shirazaka family says they hold 51 percent, the main owner of the main house, Shoji Shirazaka, only has 28 percent. The others are held separately by the people of the clan '

"Me too... I hold six percent"

Shinko Shirasaka said.

'Yes, just like you have six percent stake... There are several shareholders of the Shirazaka family who are bloodlines and yet have rebelled against our owner, Shoji. I got only two percent of the stock from someone like that.'

... two percent.

'I mean... the Shirazaka family's current stock ownership rate is 49 percent. Do you have any idea what this means?

... That.

Are you saying that non-Shirazaka shareholders now hold 51 percent?

'A stock thing, if you hold down more than half of it, will be able to move that company freely. Now, at the dawn of the holidays... I announce that TOB... will make a stock offer to acquire your newspaper. In one case since yesterday, the stock price of your newspaper has now collapsed significantly. I'm already letting them buy up the cheaper stock...... if it's TOB, it means buying up the stock at a higher value than the market price...... everyone, this would sell me their holdings'

Ji Ji's story... the three of them are listening in horror.

'Everyone should be happy to sell me the stock, especially for what each company has. Because I'm Kazuki Takashi. You'll want to sell me a favor... and you won't want to be stared at'

'But... if the Shirazaka main house buys two percent more shares from the stock market... again, Shirazaka family newspaper control should no longer be able to move'

Hiroko Shirazaka says that while wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief......

"Buy more?... who, how?

Ji chuckles.

"I have already instructed the main bank of the Shirazaka main house. No bank...... I don't lend money to Shirazaka main house. Ownership of shares is an individual asset… nor can it divert company assets. How far do you think Shoji Shirazaka can go with his personal funds?

Already made that kind of attack...... is Ji ready?

"What, if it turns out that I'm serious... all the shareholders of the Shirazaka family outside the main house will come to me. I know Shoji Shirazaka doesn't have a future. You don't want to fall in love with someone you know you're gonna fall for, do you?

Sure... if this looks like it.

Even the rest of the Shirazaka family will surrender to Ji soon.

"I will take control of your newspaper. The main body of the newspaper will be accompanied by shares in a series of companies. At the end of the day... I will secure all of your press networks'

Ji smiles nicely.

"I don't need your help… I'm sorry you came all the way here today. Come on, just go home...!

The three anti-mainstream members of the Shirazaka family... look at each other...

'Please wait... Kazuki!
