Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Collusion

"Traveling and sleeping alone on a double bed is too lonely." Dokiya Sadahiko said after glancing at Air Force Second Sa Nakahashi Masamune. After dinner, when the after-dinner fruit was served, the earthenware house became the topic of chat, from the hotel bedding to the double bed. "However, I didn't feel that way." After Nakahashi finished speaking, he raised his tanned face from playing golf that day. "Although it's hard to say this in front of my father-in-law, it's another matter in front of my wife. It's a pity that I didn't bring her here today." The earthenware house looked at Natori Ryutayo who was scooping up white melon juice with a spoon, and said slightly said with a smile.

"That's not okay, you're just talking like this when you're just married!" Nakahashi was also watching Natori's reaction. "My wife, that's just like a human stomach." Natori said, chewing on a white melon. "Elephant stomach?" "Well, yes, you can't do without it, but you don't need it if you keep thinking about it." "That's right. However, Mr. Dokiya still misses his wife very much." "Oh, how should I put it? A man who is always thinking about his wife is no big deal. I don't think there is anything more boring than sleeping in a double bed with a wife." Natori said.Listening to his tone, it seems that his daughter is not married to an earthenware house.

"Mr. Natori, this makes people a little confused. What do you mean by saying this in front of a newly married young man? He cannot be compared with you, an old man who has been married for many years." Nakahashi picked up the coffee cup and said . "I'll tell you something that happened during my travels in Europe." Earthenware House said in a tone as if he had never been married, "One day I came back from outside, it was already late at night, and I lay down on the pillow Just when I was about to sleep, I heard the sound of a woman using a scrubber from another room, and I suddenly felt that the bed I was sleeping on was too wide."

"Didn't you go to Europe for your wedding trip? How can you say that the bed is wider?" "It's about my pre-marriage." "That's right. When I mentioned this kind of thing, I had the same experience." Nakahashi rolled his eyelids and recalled similar memories, "A few years ago, I went to the United States with my boss to visit an aircraft factory and stayed in a hotel in New York. Since there are no single beds, let me sleep in a double bed." “Where is a double bed room for a single person!” "Yes. The walls of this hotel are very thin, and I can hear the movement of the next room clearly, which made me restless all night." Nakahashi seems to have not made up for the lack of sleep that night.

"Yeah, that would be a real disaster! But you don't have to worry about being influenced by the next door, just find a cute blonde yourself. A night in New York that you finally got was blind!" Earthenware House There is something in the words, and it is a pity to deliberately emphasize a rare overseas official-funded trip so wasted. When officials of the National Defense Agency went to the United States for inspection, business trip or study abroad, Japanese company personnel took the opportunity to recruit them.The superficially serious people who are afraid of getting close to private industrial and commercial people in China lose their vigilance when they go overseas.At this time, private companies not only give them the "pocket money" they need during their stay in a foreign country, but sometimes also supply women.For the officials of the National Defense Agency, being sent to the unsurveilled United States, called "Study in the United States" or "Visiting the United States", is the most relaxing and pleasant mission.As soon as you arrive in the United States, you can indulge in unrestrained pleasure.

The opportunity to go abroad is rare, but Nakahashi is sleeping alone in a hotel in New York. Could it be said that he is an extremely old-fashioned person?The earthenware house secretly speculated. At this time, Tuqiwu was trying to establish a relationship with the National Defense Agency, and was eager to find someone to build a bridge, so it asked for the name of his father-in-law.Natori quickly introduced Nakahashi to him.But Tuqiwu was disappointed when he saw this person, and felt that Zhongqiao could not play a big role. Nakahashi originally wanted to say, "At that time, I was not a big man who had to be taken care of by a woman in a private company", but he swallowed his words back.

That trip to New York left Nakahashi with a humiliating memory.The boss who accompanied him at that time has now transferred to a large private enterprise.That private company had prepared call girls for the delegation. But I don't know if it was a mistake or for some other reason, one girl was missing that night in the New York hotel.As a result, Nakahashi, who had the lowest military rank among the group, had to guard the empty bed alone. His boss lived in the next room, and after having some fun with the woman, the boss sent her to Nakahashi's room. Nakahashi was very disgusted, and had no interest in hugging the woman who had just slept with his boss.His boss was a man from the old army secret service. He never respected other people's feelings and didn't care about arranging such shameless things.He thinks that doing so is a kind of care for his subordinates.

"How is it? That woman last night..." The next morning, the boss saw Nakahashi and asked indifferently, "I didn't expect to have such a close relationship with you in New York!" After speaking, he laughed loudly. The boss in charge of the self-defense force's equipment and defense plans has long been associated with private companies.People talked about him, and even distributed leaflets in the official hall "Don't let XX be in charge of the self-defense force's equipment plan!"The lord in charge who made such a mess turned a deaf ear to this kind of criticism and organized opposition activities, and just laughed it off.It is said that he ended up in a large private enterprise with which he had the closest collusion.

A few years later, when Nakahashi was promoted to the position of his boss, he found that he had learned his boss's philosophy of life at some point, and the boss's thoughts had penetrated deeply into his brain. What Nakahashi still regrets until now is that on that night in New York, he didn't hug the exotic girl specially assigned to him by his boss, and he still had that little sense of purity. He knows that his days of living such an official addiction are short-lived. For him, this is just a short life experience in the blink of an eye. existing authority. Now private businessmen are like ants, swarming towards the throne of the middle bridge.They didn't just want to gather here, but they wanted the powerful Nakahashi.

Regardless of the fact that the cadres of the National Defense Agency are proud and full of air when they are in charge, once they leave their posts and retire to ordinary social positions, the old titles of the National Defense Agency will be worthless.When the manufacturers are bragging shamelessly, they use their power to sell themselves as much as possible. Nakahashi is now forty-five years old, which is a young and promising age in general society, but he is not considered young in the National Defense Agency, because officers retire at fifty.Although Nakahashi is a big celebrity in the hall and is proud of it, but he will retire in five years, and by then it will be too late to find a way for himself in a hurry.Nakahashi has been watching the ant colony around him for a long time, looking for a benefactor who can bring him the biggest bait.

"Aren't you tired today? The best room has been arranged for you, please sleep comfortably for the night!" Earthenware House said to Nakahashi.At this time, the wine and food are full, and the topics of those after-dinner teas have also been discussed. Among the various methods of approaching and wooing people, capitalists often use golfing. After playing golf, they invite the other party to a restaurant for a drink.At the same time, a geisha was called to play and sing to accompany her.However, due to domestic constraints, capitalists generally do not allow geishas to accompany them overnight, and they are cautious in this regard. Preparing women for the other party in public is difficult to say, it is a very corrupt behavior, and it causes a stronger reaction than giving gold, silver and jewelry.Therefore, those who are used to bribery often make some indirect temptations before giving gifts to women. This restaurant is located in the Hakone Sengokuhara Scenic Area. It was newly built last year. It seems that the earthenware house is also related to the opening of this restaurant. Zhongqiao knew in his heart that the earthenware house was also an ant close to him, but he hadn't figured out exactly what he needed to catch.Regardless of that, I will gradually figure it out in the future.Playing golf for a while during the day, and having a full meal of delicacies in the evening, at least it is very good for health.Thinking of this, Nakahashi couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly. It would be a pleasant thing to be invited to travel and stay out for a night, even without a woman. Although Nakahashi didn't expect to be attractive, but it was a bit strange to let him go to bed right after dinner. As Earthenware House said in the invitation: "When it comes to Japanese cooking, restaurants in the mountains are also good!" Nakahashi thinks that this place has a different flavor, and the hospitality will definitely be very thoughtful.However, he was surprised to be allowed to rest by himself after the meal.Surrounded by mountains, there are no entertainment places, how can I pass the time?But having said that, I can't stay longer.Nakahashi had no choice but to get up and follow the waiter to his room.This is the backmost room of the hotel. "Oh, living in such a big room alone!" Nakahashi was taken aback after the waiter ushered him into the room.I heard from the waiter that the state guest who visited Japan half a month ago lived here. This is a set of superior rooms, besides the dormitory, there are also reception rooms, meeting rooms and so on.Indoor carpets vary in color depending on the purpose of each room.The dormitory is a warm orange; the reception room is a calm sky blue; the conference room is light brown.The interior furnishings are very particular, and they seem to be brand-name goods with a long history.The windows in the bathroom are painted with sparkling gold powder, and there are women's scrubbers next to the powder room, and there are double beds in the bedroom. "What's going on?" Nakahashi murmured in his heart, why did he let him live in such a spacious and luxurious room alone?He was really puzzled.But since it's arranged, just take a shower and go to bed early.He looked at his watch. It was only the beginning of the nightlife in Tokyo.He hadn't gone to bed this early in months. Nakahashi took off his clothes, put them on the sofa, and went into the bathroom.Soak comfortably in the bathtub for a while.Then turn on the warm water shower head to flush the body, and the fatigue from the whole body for a long time seems to have disappeared all at once. Nakahashi went back to the dormitory lightly and walked towards the bed, suddenly he was startled because someone was lying on the bed. "You——, who are you?!" Zhongqiao was dumbfounded for a moment, and asked stutteringly. "But who are you?" The person on the bed also asked back in horror. Under the soft light on the bedside table, it could be seen that she was a very handsome woman. "This is the room I live in." "Hey, it's strange, I've been living here since yesterday!" "This is the word there!" Nakahashi thought: This is what the waiter sent me here, how could it be wrong.So, could it be that she was supplied by the earthenware house?No, this may be my wishful thinking.He immediately dismissed the thoughts that followed. "No, this is indeed the room I live in. Look, here are the things I'm carrying. If you find it strange, you may as well call the passenger registration office." She pointed to the things in the corner of the room, Wen Ya Said kindly. Nakahashi looked in the direction she pointed, maybe he hadn't noticed just now, there was indeed a woman's suitcase there.He thought, it must be the hotel that brought me here by mistake. If so, it was Nakahashi who broke in by mistake.He immediately felt ashamed.His freshly bathed naked body was surrounded only by a towel. In the backmost secret room of the hotel, the naked Nakahashi was standing in front of a strange woman's bed.If the woman angrily pushed him out of the door at this time, she had no choice but to endure it.Fortunately, the other party is a gentle person, and it seems that she doesn't think that Nakahashi broke in with malicious intent. "Anyway, ask the registration office." She said on the bed, reaching for the microphone on the bedside table: "Hi! Hello! Registration office? Now, here is a gentleman who walked into my apartment by mistake, Please find out what room number he is in." Nakahashi's power of action was completely in the hands of this woman, and the clothes he took off were thrown on the sofa beside the bed, he was in a dilemma, so he had to stand there. "Oh, the name, the gentleman's name is..." "My surname is Zhongqiao, and my name is Zhongqiao Zhengwen." Zhongqiao said to the woman who suddenly raised his face. "This surname is Zhongqiao, what? Room 54? This is strange, I live in Room 54! I have lived here since last night!" The registration office seemed to be checking . "Hey, the signature is duplicated? What's the matter? Does it mean that the room was mixed up and the same room was assigned to two guests? So your registration office made a mistake?" Although Nakahashi didn't hear what the registration office said, he seemed to have figured out what went wrong during the dialogue between the two parties.That is to say, due to the negligence of the hotel, Nakahashi was led into the room where the female guests were already staying, and it was almost like a shared room for men and women in Japanese hotels in the past, but this was without the consent of the two people. People can't laugh or cry. "What should I do? I'm still lying on the bed!" The woman showed an embarrassed expression, but there was no trace of anger. "Hey, I never dreamed that such a thing would happen because of the hotel." Nakahashi said shamelessly. The woman must have come back from the shower by herself, and because of the noise of the shower, she was not heard entering the room.But what kind of person is this woman? Why does she live in such a luxurious room alone!Doubts flooded Nakahashi's mind.However, these have nothing to do with him at all, and he has no right to stay here any longer.It's a blessing not to be driven out by the collar, not to mention finding out her true face, even a slight show of concern is not allowed. "I'm really sorry, miss!" Nakahashi's usual majesty disappeared, as if he had become a completely different person.He lowered his head listlessly picked up his clothes and wanted to leave the house. "Mr. Nakahashi!" He stopped when he heard the woman greet him. "Ah?" When Zhongqiao turned his head, the woman suddenly got up from the bed, and the sheet fell off her body, leaving her naked body. She smiled at the stunned Nakahashi who was holding her breath: "As long as you think it's okay, I don't mind sharing a room with you." Facing the charming naked woman, Nakahashi was at a loss. In an instant, Nakahashi suddenly realized.It turns out that this is the ingenious hospitality of the earthenware house.No wonder the double bed and the woman's scrubber were deliberately talked about at dinner, and such a luxurious room was arranged.It can be said that the means are brilliant and ingenious! In a situation like this, it is very inconvenient to accept a woman from the very beginning.However, if you meet a woman you don't know and fall in love at first sight because of the mistake of the hotel, this is "free love".In fact, although it was a prior arrangement of the earthenware house, on the surface, it was determined by the parties' own wishes from beginning to end.In case of any trouble, the hotel's mistakes can be used as an excuse to push it away.This is different from proposing to use women to entertain people in person. It has a greater safety factor for the person being entertained, and there is also a large buffer for the entertainer.Let the woman come out on her own, and in this "adventure" make the man have a novel affection, thinking that this matter is a good match of heaven.In this way, through the woman's vixen charm, the man will be fascinated overnight, which can be described as well-intentioned. "Well, sir? If you think it's okay..." She finished with a grimace and a small smile. The woman urged the stunned Nakahashi softly.There is a confidence that Nakahashi will never refuse in her curvy and slightly mischievous smile. Nakahashi didn't answer, but put the clothes under his armpits back on the sofa. "Please!" The woman saw that this was Nakahashi's agreement, so she moved her body to the side of the double bed to make room for him. "How rich is Nakahashi?" In another room of the hotel, Dokiya asked Natori worriedly. "As a channel, he is still an ideal person." "Today he gave me the impression that he seems to be a difficult person to talk about." "That's the ideal! As a channel, it's not good if he is a well-rounded person who smiles at everyone. The National Defense Agency is very sensitive about the collusion between subordinate officials and specially designated companies. People like this The more you look like someone who guards the vaults of the Bank of Japan, the better." "At this time, he hasn't said anything yet. It seems that he is hugging a woman. He won't refuse her." "Well, it's been a round of fighting now. Nakahashi is greedy for profit and has a big appetite. Desires for material, fame, sex, all human desires are omnipresent, and they are extremely strong. In short, the foundation is too bad." "Then it seems his gentlemanly appearance is a mere faux pas?" "It's not bad at all. This is his self-protection strategy. So he can be a good channel. People who are wolfing down like evil spirits on the surface are dangerous and cannot be used." "You really have eyesight, you can see him through." "I've been with him for a long time. He went to work in the National Defense Agency, and I told him. So, when I say something, he usually does it right." Natori Ryutaro narrowed his eyes and smiled complacently. . Although he was his father-in-law, Tuqiwu couldn't help shivering a few times after hearing his words and seeing his expression, as if a bucket of cold water had suddenly been poured on his back.Natori Ryutaro's expression is a cold and heartless expression that regards people as tools.Tuqiwu understood that the reason why his father-in-law approached him warmer than his father was because, as the second-generation successor of Tuqiwu Industry Company, he was holding the real power of the company. Since his son Sadahiko and his daughter Natori got married, Dokiya Masakatsu seemed to be completely at ease, and recently proposed to retire several times.His hard-edged character, which once laid a solid foundation for the company, quickly became smooth, and now he often leaves important business to Zhen Yan. It was only a matter of time before Zhenyan became the general manager of the company.Natori Ryutaro grasped this point sensitively, and constantly strengthened contacts with Zhen Yan.He has always followed suit and never handed over people who have gone downhill. Dokiya Sadahiko often felt that when he was dealing with his father-in-law, he and Dongzi were like chess pieces, being manipulated according to his will on his chessboard.However, the reason why Tuqiwu has a good relationship with his father-in-law is to reap some benefits. Dokiya Sadahiko wants to contribute some gifts when he inherits the throne of Dokiya King.One of the gifts is that he will be a "Queen Merchant" designated by the Ministry of National Defense. However, it is by no means easy to work closely with the Ministry of National Defense.Even his father, who is quite powerful in the political and financial circles, was squeezed out from the ranks of the Royal Businessman of the National Defense Agency.The National Defense Agency is heavily fortified, and it would be futile to attack directly. Why are capitalists so willing to break into the Ministry of National Defense?The reason is simple, because you can make a lot of money.In addition, the National Defense Agency is characterized in that once an order contract is signed, it will increase the order amount every year.Don't listen to manufacturers saying that "the defense industry is not making money and is losing money for the country", but they are secretly fighting bloody to get orders.The profit of the defense industry is smaller, but it is a relatively stable industry that is not affected by changes in the economic situation.There are many names for "building a self-defense force commensurate with the national strength" and "having an effective defense force against aggression". The defense industry, which is constantly expanding in the huge state budget, will not be depressed. As a royal manufacturer of the National Defense Agency, not only the above benefits, but also more opportunities to make profits.As long as the National Defense Agency buys the main products, it will definitely sell related subsidiary products to it.In addition, product maintenance can be monopolized.According to the escalating plans for the preparation of the new defense force, the industries in this field have been expanding, and the huge needs of the country's monstrous consumers ensure that there is no production crisis at all. Furthermore, the Ministry of National Defense does not directly deal with foreign manufacturers, and it is inconvenient for military experts to bargain with blond foreign businessmen, so they entrust them to royal manufacturers who are proficient in this field. The key to making this deal is not price, but quality and performance.As long as these two points hold water, the amount of money is not a problem.This argument is not an exaggeration, because the big boss in the background is a country marked by the sun flag. Manufacturers who are drooling over the deal of the National Defense Agency are like the meat-eating Pirania fish in the Amazon River in South America. When they see fat and fat prey, they will rush to stare at it and eat it. Is it reasonable enough? Earthenware Industry Co., Ltd. has long regarded the National Defense Agency as a prey.The reason it didn't reach its mouth was because it was separated by a solid wall.They were running around in a hurry, trying to penetrate the thick wall and pass a pipe into the wall, but they did not succeed after exhausting their efforts.He likes to work hard, and Zheng Sheng wins against the earthenware house that won't admit defeat to anyone. After hitting a wall several times, he has to admit defeat.If Dokiya Sadahiko can use his own power to pass through the pipe through the wall, it will be the most outstanding succession gift of the Dokiya Kingdom II.Dokiya Sadahiko has always cherished this ambition, so he expressed his heart to his father-in-law Ryutaro.Natori once told him that it would cost a lot of money! After Ryutaro led the way, Nakahashi Masamune came here today.Nakahashi is now the officer directly in charge of the Air Self-Defense Force's equipment plan.The Air Self-Defense Force is turning it into a maritime air force, with the goal of completely controlling the airspace in Southeast Asia.Businessmen believe that there is the most lucrative water to be fished here. Dokiya Sadahiko knew that the price would be high, but he rushed over desperately.Undoubtedly, he wanted to show off his courage and means, and win people's warm applause when he ascended the throne of the earthenware house kingdom. Zhongqiao is full of desire and returns.He understood that it was very clever for the earthenware house to leave the restaurant first the next day.After a night of ecstasy, it is unavoidably a little embarrassing for the person being entertained to meet the person who provided the beauties. Tuqiwu pretended not to know anything about women, and their "coincidence" had nothing to do with him at all. Nakahashi sat in the car prepared for him by the earthenware house, fascinated by the wonderful time that the young girl in her twenties left him, which seemed to be unforgettable in this life.He felt that compared to his wife, such a woman was worthy of being a woman.He also knew in his heart that it was precisely because he took up an important position in the National Defense Agency that he could get such a stunner, otherwise, it would be difficult to enjoy it no matter in terms of economy, age or personality. After a long time of aftertaste, he couldn't help but long for a good relationship again.In fact, at the time of parting, he made this kind of temptation. "Will there be a chance to meet again in the future?" Zhongqiao said with a reluctant expression while packing his luggage while looking at the woman. "Well, I will cost money!" After speaking, the woman made another grimace as she did when she first seduced Nakahashi, and then smiled charmingly. "It doesn't matter, as long as I meet you, money is nothing." Nakahashi said with a swollen face and pretended to be fat. He thought, even if we talk about a tryst, they don't get along day and night, inseparable.Although I don't know how much she is worth, but it may be possible to meet once or twice a month with the help of the earthenware house. "Of course you can consider it!" The woman put on a cigarette gracefully with her fingers, and then handed it to Nakahashi, "Smoking?" "Okay, please think about it, can you tell me your name and address?" "That's still too early! You know, you and I just met by chance!" "But it's not an outsider!" "Hey, what does this mean?" the woman wondered. She has a pair of big crystal eyes, a high and straight nose, and a beautiful face in the style of a Western beauty.The expression of surprise made people feel that she was like a naughty child. "What do you mean? We're already sharing the same bed!" Men and women share the same bed, which is called "not being an outsider".She doesn't seem to understand this. "Don't say it in general terms, it's just skin-to-skin contact." "skin contact?" "Yes, it's not a big deal to get in touch! Even if you get in touch, outsiders are still outsiders, so there's no need to introduce yourself one by one." The woman replied nonchalantly.It can be seen that the reason why she thinks that it is too late to exchange names is based on this understanding. It was only then that Nakahashi realized that his sexual concepts were vastly different from hers.Strangely enough, instead of disappointing Nakahashi, it aroused his fascination with this woman even more. Nakahashi feels that she is just an emotionless machine now.The first tryst failed to guarantee the second one, which showed that she had not left a good impression on her at all, and the sense of self-confidence that she thought she had the initiative had disappeared. "I want to meet again, please tell me, how can I contact you?" Nakahashi almost knelt down.He thought, whether she was a machine or something else, if we broke up like this, I'm afraid we would never find such a wonderful woman again. "It's not easy!" "What's the problem?" "It's better to see it this time!" "Why did you say it so absolutely? But you were so enthusiastic just now." "It was just now, and I am also very happy. Wouldn't it be more romantic to hide the sneaky love during the trip in your heart?" "Please don't say such callous words. I beg you to tell me where to contact me." "..." "do you hate me?" "It's impossible to talk about likes and dislikes." "I beg you to tell me quickly. Hey, yes, is it okay to contact Mr. Dokiya?" "Yo, this has nothing to do with that young manager!" She was forced by Nakahashi to say this out of nowhere.But immediately he realized that he had missed the point, so he made a face and smacked his lips. "How do you know he is the young manager? So, Mr. Earthenware House asked you to come here!" "Think what you will!" she said resignedly. "Hope to meet again." ... While recalling, Nakahashi realized that he was in debt to the pottery house.In the end, the woman didn't tell him where to contact him.This is probably the reason for the earthenware house's ten thousand warnings. Earthenware House's strategy is excellent.He expected that Zhongqiao must fall in love with that woman, so he set up a trick so that Zhongqiao had to go through himself if he wanted to find the woman.Moreover, every time Nakahashi had a tryst with that woman, his debt to the earthenware house increased by one level.Nakahashi thought, maybe the earthenware house provided him with that beauty after investigating his sexual preference.If that's the case, it's even more convenient.He couldn't help smiling. Zhongqiao thinks that if he combines with an industrial and commercial person, he is most afraid of the other party's court of Qin Muchu.People like Tuqiwu who can think of fully guaranteeing their own safety can be trusted.Anyway, he won't always work in the National Defense Agency, and it's not a loss-making business for him to build a new relationship with the young head of a large company like the earthenware industry. Now, the companies related to me are not the top companies.Nakahashi reasoned that when he retired, no bigger company could accept him. Dokiya Sadahiko is the de facto general manager of Dokiya Industry.However, Nakahashi thinks that he is young after all, just a second-generation young manager, and looks down on him a bit.Therefore, he didn't realize that the earthenware house had secretly grasped his vitals. "Nakahashi obediently took the bait!" "It all depends on my father-in-law's brilliant trick!" "The price is high!" "I'm fully prepared." "What, don't be vague and prevaricate!" "Father-in-law can't wait. But Zhongqiao hasn't sent anything very oily yet!" "That guy is a good osprey. It depends on your ability. How big a fish he can catch depends on your birdman's wrist!" "The bait used always makes him spit it out!" "I have something to ask you." "What's the matter, please tell me." Tu Qiwu was a little nervous.This is a secret conversation between father-in-law and son-in-law in an inner room of their own house. "It's not a big deal." Natori said with a smile.The two of them had seen each other a lot lately, but they had never talked about the daughter of one or the wife of the other who had been intermediary between them.On one side is a politician, on the other side is a capitalist, and they are playing diplomacy of bargaining with each other for the purpose of sucking more honey personally. "What's the matter?" Earthenware House asked sullenly. "I want to mention Yucun, an engineer from Wuyan." "What's wrong with Yucun?" "Is he an old friend of yours?" "Well, it can be said that he is an old acquaintance, but I haven't seen him recently." "So your words might have some influence on him?" "Is there anything I need to tell him?" There was a sense of surprise in the earthenware house's vigilant expression. "I'm kind of at a loss what to do with this guy." "I can't do anything? What's the matter? My father-in-law has nothing to do with him." "It has something to do with him! Recently, I heard that an atomic reactor for power generation will be built in Niigata. To build this thing, it must first be technically certified for safety. Therefore, strict inspections must be carried out in accordance with the Atomic Reactor Restriction Act and other laws and regulations. Review." Niigata is the constituency of Natori.To build an atomic reactor there, Earthware House felt that there must be something in it. "An atomic reactor is the same as a thermal power plant. It needs a large amount of cooling water, sufficient ground pressure resistance, and weather adaptation. These are all necessary conditions." From Natori's words, Dokiya gradually understood his father-in-law's intentions.It has been heard for a long time that the ground in Niigata is sinking.As for the weather conditions, they are far worse than those on the Pacific coast. Even if I want to say a few compliments about how good Niigata is, it is difficult to put into words.Although the earthenware house does not know where in Niigata it will be built, but he thought, there are natural gas fields there, so wouldn't that conflict with the construction of an atomic reactor? In short, Niigata is not an ideal location even for an uninitiated earthenware house.But judging from the tone of Natori's speech, he really wanted to build the atomic reactor in Niigata.It is not clear what benefits this will have for Natori, but judging from his intention to build an atomic reactor in his constituency, it is well thought out and there must be a lot of money to be made. "Even if the construction is approved, regular inspections will still be carried out during the construction process or before and after operation." "Very strict!" "That's right. Because it's radioactive materials, and there are also issues of dealing with nuclear waste and convincing the local people. Yucun is one of the inspectors for the site of the factory!" "Yu Village..." The Earthenware House seemed to have further understood the main purpose of the conversation, "Yu Village must be opposed to being built there." "exactly!" "Even if it's not him, I'm afraid others will object to it. This is purely my layman's idea." "There are still some who oppose it. But he is the most resolute and irritating one. Amamura is the key person in charge of the research on nuclear fuel at Wuken. For the review, his opinion is very important." "If he wants to object, things will be difficult. That guy is very stubborn." "Yes, there are always some ways to clear up some other opponents among the inspectors, but he is the only one who is difficult to deal with. If you try to intimidate him softly, it will lead to the opposite effect. This person will not accept softness!" "So, do you want me to talk to him?" "That's what I mean." "This is a head-scratching matter. That guy is a stubborn person. The selection of the site involves many important matters. I'm afraid it can't be resolved with two mouths and friendship with old friends." "Actually, the place in Niigata is not too bad, but it is slightly worse than the other places in the primary election." "If you say that, isn't it still the same thing?" "It is not required that he actively agree with it, as long as he does not strongly oppose it. If he does not object, I will have my own solutions to other issues." "There's Shin and Ganghiro in Niigata." "Oh, yes!" Natori smiled as if understanding.In the industrial zone along the Shinano River, there are large factories such as the Shinwa Iron and Steel Works, the Shinwa Chemical Works, and the Shinwa Shipyard, where important large-scale enterprises belonging to the Sino Consortium are concentrated. The earthenware house thinks of Natori's current wife, that is, the mother's family of Ichiro's mother who died in the accident is a branch of the Shinwa Foundation, and the earthenware house sees through the medicine contained in Natori Ryutaro's boring gourd.Although the madam's natal family has not been very prosperous recently, her natal family's main family is becoming more and more powerful. Natori is trying to follow the line of his wife's natal family and curry favor with his family.As a welcome gift to carry with him, he chose the atomic reactor.If a nuclear power station is built near Niigata, it is logical that the Shinwa Foundation will take the initiative. Natori tried to use this gift as a deal to hook up with the Shinwa Foundation.In this way, Natori's political life can be guaranteed in terms of financial resources, and at the same time, it can bring huge benefits to the Shinwa Foundation. Compared with Shinwa Shoji in the same industry, the earthenware house industry is really insignificant.Natori now asks the earthenware house to win over Yucun, but the earthenware house does not refuse. This is because he wants to take advantage of Xinhe. "Try it." "Okay, let's do it." Natori's expression suddenly became serious. "but……" "Hey, hey, don't say those useless words anymore. Aren't we the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law?" Natori was very sensitive, and he immediately sensed what he wanted to say from Tukiya's expression, and smiled and waved his hand no Let him go on. "No way! You can't do it if you don't have enough money to make connections and do business. Father-in-law, that's what you said!" "You pulled Yucun for me, it should be said that I helped you pull the middle bridge in return." "Okay, but Xinhe Shangshi is much bigger than us, and our colleagues are enemies. This is an errand for me to bring my competitors and father-in-law together! The price is too high." "I understand, what do you want, tell me." “假如决定原子反应堆和原子能发电站在新潟修建的话，那么建厂的主角，理所当然的就是信和了吧？” “嗯，会是那样的吧。” “希望让我们公司也弄个角色。” “我想是可以作得到的。” “请务必帮忙。信和财团有信和钢铁厂，这个厂的钢铁产量最高而且质量是第一流的。请把我们公司列为他们的指定批发商吧。” “信和商事需要他们的钢铁呀。” “这我知道，百分之七十的货是信和商事经销的，剩下百分之三十是其他批发商经销的。虽然是百分之三十，能钻进去，那腰也粗多了。请您给撮合一下，无论如何把土器屋产业纳进信和钢铁厂的推销系统里去。” 现在，日本产业结构正朝着重工业、化学工业化方向迅速变化，各商业公司为适应这一变化，都用尽手段同大钢铁厂结合起来。 钢铁流通渠道有三：一是大钢铁厂自销；二是附有条件的经销；三是一般商店销售。其中附有条件的经销就是大工厂通过指定的批发商销售。 起初，大厂产品是通过特别指定的批发商推销的。后来这些批发商逐渐被综合商业公司吸收，综合商业公司就变成了指定批发商的中心。 现在跟大钢铁厂有直接买卖关系的指定批发商达百家以上，可是成为中心的，是最大的四大综合商业公司，即菱井商事、中央商事、千代田通商和信和商事四大家。他们的钢铁销售额占全国的百分之八十以上。 钢铁经销业的集中，现在还在进行，许多小批发商一个一个地被大综合商业公司吃掉，尽管批发商有经销钢铁的丰富经验和知识，可大商业公司凭着它的雄厚资本硬挤进制造厂里去，把批发商的经销权夺走。 土器屋产业公司曾喧嚣一时地被称为战后钢铁界的一颗新星。靠土器屋正胜的交往和手腕，挤进大户厂商行列。象这样一家公司，最近也感到经营困难，威势大衰。土器屋产业如不再次同大厂加强关系，就可能被大商业公司吞并掉。土器屋贞彦向利欲熏心的名取提出的要求，就是想打进信和钢铁厂，一口气挽回颓势。 “好，明白了。我尽力而为，你也要努力。” “那当然，我也懂。我同雨村是老交情了，不求他赞成，只请他不要反对，这一点还是能办到的吧。” “可能的话，最好让他积极赞成，反正是不能不出大价钱的。” “这对岳父来说，可有点吃不消啊！”名取没有看土器屋，他正思忖着在有信和商事存在的情况下，怎么才能使土器屋产业硬挤进信和钢铁厂。 中桥第一次吞下的诱饵浸满了麻药，虽然感觉到那诱饵过于甜美而含有剧毒，可他自己却怎么也控制不住，总想再度尝试一番。而当接二连三地呑进诱饵之后，想禁戒就更加痛苦难忍了。 三杉小百合这个女人是极其奢侈的。她虽免费接待，不过要想继续享受那枕上艳福，就需要中桥不断掏腰包了。 土器屋提供金钱总是不失时机的。每当推测到中桥最需要钱的时候，他就大大方方地慷慨解囊。 土器屋送给中桥的不仅是金钱，还有打高尔夫球用的各种用品、衣服直到中桥妻子和孩子们所喜欢的礼物，借他们的生日呀，结婚纪念日呀，毕业典礼呀等等机会源源送上。 中桥本来就不是个清廉的人，小官僚的保身哲学、贪婪的欲望他兼而有之。他的物欲是很大的，但危及到他的地位的事他可不干。他想尽量利用现有的职权，不担风险地积蓄一点金钱，可说是个小心翼翼又贪得无厌的人。 土器屋正在给他逐步加量地注射着贿赂麻药。他一边紧紧地跟小百合鬼混在一起，一边时常出没高级俱乐部和酒吧间。 过去，出于保身的本能，中桥警觉到麻药的危险，拒绝受用，但经不住土器屋的十分巧妙的引诱。那美色可餐的诱饵，使中桥非常敏感的保身本能也失去了作用。 土器屋的高明之处在于，他提供了什么之后，一定要求得到一点回报，虽然只是些微不足道的回报，象已经公布了的算不上是机密情报之类的东西。土器屋通过这种办法渐渐使中桥彻底解除了警戒。 如果只是向他供给而不提要求，会使他觉得将要提出什么分量吓人的事，反而会加倍提防。土器屋琢磨了这方面的心理状态，每当供给什么的时候，就向他索取既不是毒品也不是麻药之类的回报，使中桥逐步放宽了心。 中桥彻底上了土器屋的巧妙圏套。他已经把全身浸到了贿赂的甜美毒液里。说不上从什么时候起，土器屋的高尔夫会员权，带土地的房产权转到了中桥名下。 “嗬，彻底上钩了！”土器屋第一次看到中桥给他的请求信，惊叹地说。 信里还夹着酒吧间、俱乐部、高级百货公司、宝石店，还有饭店等等的账单。最近，中桥已经满不在乎地把账直接转给土器屋了。 “连星期天和家属坐包租汽车的账单都转到这来了！”土器屋说完冷冷一笑。毒液浸透到这种程度，已经到了要求什么他都不会拒绝的火候了吧。 “怎么样，差不多了吧。”两天后土器屋瞄准了已经完全进入射程内的猎物钩动了扳机，毫不掩饰地向中桥提出要求：“我想知道新防卫整备计划里的航空自卫队的装备计划A-1。” 土器屋提出的要求包括飞机及其有关零件、导弹、电子通讯器材等等最宝贵的资料，尤其是装备计划A-1，是机密中之机密，推销这些武器油水最大。 一听是这个，中桥大出意料之外，踌躇万分。不过，这时他已经被腐蚀到想拒绝也难以拒绝的程度了。 “新防卫整备计划列入预算，那已经是大以前的事了。”中桥好歹算是想出点敷衍的话。 “中桥先生，您还说什么迷里迷糊的梦话呀。”土器屋把中桥用尽全力勉强踢出来的球又一脚踢了回去，“各公司的竞争比拚刺刀还厉害，等正式列入计划那不就晚了？计划还在草案阶段就得紧紧跟上，这是常识，中桥先生您不是最清楚吗？” “可是，航空自卫队的装备计划A-1是机密中的机密呀！那也是日美两国的机密。” “所以才需要嘛！老实讲，过去您给我的资料不是半公开的就是目前不需要的。现在我要求您给我一个除您而外谁也得不到的资料。我想，就凭你我之间互相信赖的关系，是不成问题的，这关系已经牢不可破了。您说是吧，中桥先生！”土器屋包含特殊意义似地加重“互相信赖”一词的语气。 土器屋产业公司，尚未列入国防厅指定厂商名单之内。如果是指定厂商，国防厅在订货时会有意地透露点情报的。但对非指定厂商就完全是另一回事。因为完全是局外人，何况泄漏日美共同机密，要牵涉到日美防卫协定所附带的保密法。现在就有一个原航空自卫队的干部，因在杂志发表文章谈到主力战斗机的性能和装备而触犯了这个法律。 “中桥先生，您是不是和小百合一同到夏威夷去玩玩啊？请上三、四天假，在那出名的海滨尽情地鸳鸯戏水，饱览一下异国的风光，那可是别有一番滋味！” 土器屋对犹豫不决的中桥，来了个最后一击。与其说是诱劝跟美女共游异国，不如说是明目张胆地点明对他进行的那些贿赂，中桥无话可讲了。
