I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 35: Masahito Nanjo’s ambition
Nanjo Masahiro nodded immediately: "Okay, father, I'll arrange it now."
In fact, Nanjo Masahiro had expected Nanjo Hiroshi to say this, so he made preparations in advance.
The meeting he arranged with Mr. Asakura and his son was five days later.
In fact, Masahiro Nanjo wanted to settle this matter immediately. After all, Senator Asakura didn't have to marry the daughter of the Nanjo family. If it dragged on for a long time, he might be cut off by another consortium.
But he couldn't arrange the time earlier, because the big people's schedules were very full. Masahiro Nanjo originally wanted to arrange it on this Sunday two days later, but that day, Senator Asakura was going to play golf with Minister Ozo. .
Nanjo Masahiro naturally did not dare to disturb the golf trip of the MPs and ministers-unless his father Nanjo Hiro also went to play, then he could have a "friendly game".
It's a pity that Hiroshi Nanjo doesn't like golf. He would rather go to a retired shogi celebrity to play shogi or go to the Takarazuka Opera House to listen to an opera.
Nanjo Hiroshi's lifelong wish is to become a true "Chinese", and the Chinese are actually the samurai class that was fully westernized after the Meiji Restoration.
Therefore, he was obsessed with all traditional things, and held prejudice and contempt for things that emerged after the war.
In a word, Masahiro Nanjo could only arrange the meeting five days later, and it took a lot of work. If he just reported to Councillor Asakura that he planned to meet, then the secretary of Councillor Asakura would come Arrange a meeting, I'm afraid it will take longer.
After saying good night to Hiro-do Nanjo, Masahiro Nanjo quit his father's Japanese room, and happened to meet his daughter Honami Nanjo, who came to say good night to her grandfather.
Nanjo Masahiro couldn't help but smile when he saw his daughter.
His eldest son, Nanjo Mori, was not very good at it. He actually ran after a female anchor and came back. As a result, the Nanjo family has not yet established a stable connection with a powerful political family.
Although Nanjo Masahiro himself married his childhood sweetheart, that was because Nanjo's family was a small rich man with only a small processing factory when he got married. He chooses.
Now the Nanjo family, who has a big family and a big business, needs to penetrate deeper into the land of this island country.
The easiest way is to marry.
Once, Nanjo Masahiro had high hopes for his son Nanjo Mamoru, hoping that he could get back a well-matched eldest lady.
Many political families in Japan will train their son-in-law as an orthodox heir, because the quality of having a son is relatively random, just like drawing cards, and it is still not possible to draw cards in ten consecutive draws.
There is also a ten-month cooldown.
The son-in-law can choose carefully, as long as he wants, as many times as he wants.
If Nanjo Mamoru is chosen by the eldest lady of any family, he can enter the list of candidates for son-in-law. If he is chosen, the Nanjo family will no longer have to worry about their unstable foundation.
It's a pity Nanjo Mamoru, whose conditions are mediocre, pursues free love and pursues a female anchor.
Nanjo Masahiro was against this marriage, but he didn't expect his father, Nanjo Hiro, to nod in agreement after meeting the girl.
Although Nanjo Masahiro is the current head of the family, the big family in Japan is very feudal, and no one dares to openly defy the will of the old man and the old lady.
Nanjo Masahiro can't either.
Fortunately, the network of contacts in the entertainment industry brought by the female anchor has allowed the Nanjo Consortium to successfully enter the entertainment industry and establish its own entertainment company, which is not completely useless.
Nanjo Masahiro is currently planning to use the financial resources of the Nanjo Foundation to support several small TV stations in Tokyo to unite to form the sixth largest national broadcasting bureau besides the four major private broadcasting bureaus.
But to do this, the Nanjo Consortium's current "rootless" state will definitely not work.
At least you have to go with a family that can consistently produce Tokyo Metropolitan members.
Japan is different from the United States and South Korea. The United States and South Korea are more powerful consortia, but in Japan, the political family transformed from the Chinese is the real powerhouse.
However, many political families themselves are chaebols, so they look the same as the United States.
As a rising star, the Nanjo Foundation, like the rookies such as Sonny, is eager to stretch its tentacles into the upper class of Japan.
In fact, there is still another way, which is to support a new political family from scratch. Many companies that made their fortunes after the war took this path to support young people with potential, starting from local councillors, all the way. Do it to all MPs.
But this is not as efficient as getting a ready-made covenant directly through marriage.
That's why Nanjo Masahiro smiles when he sees his daughter.
Nanjo Honami, the pearl of Nanjo's family, is well-mannered and beautiful. She studied at a famous aristocratic private girls' school and once served as the vice president of the student union.
He can dance ballet and play the piano. He also plays the violin well. In addition, according to Nanjo Hiroshi's advice, he has learned a skill in kendo.
After years of painstaking management, Honami Nanjo has become quite famous in the social circle of the upper class.
Marrying a daughter pays attention to being a good match, but if the daughter's quality is particularly good, then this standard of good match can be fine-tuned~IndoMTL.com~ Some families who originally disliked the Nanjo family are likely to be because of Nanjo Honami. excellent, and handed out an olive branch to the Nanjo family.
Senator Asakura is one of them.
This is not a member of the Metropolitan Council, but a serious member of the Diet who can play golf with Minister Ozo!
As long as Honami Nanjo and the second son of the Asakura family successfully marry, the future of the Nanjo family will be solid.
In fact, Masahiro Nanjo's original idea was to choose a man with relatively poor conditions as his son-in-law.
Just as Nanjo Honami's quality will improve the "match level" on the Nanjo family's side, if the man's character or other areas are flawed, then the other party's match level will be lowered.
In this way, it is not impossible to marry a daughter to a political family who has been a minister or even a prime minister!
But Nanjo Hiroshi dotes on his granddaughter Nanjo Honami, so Nanjo Masahiro cannot do this.
He must choose a young master who is good-looking and talented, and who can't whisper what the old man expects to be his son-in-law.
The second son of Senator Asakura is the best choice at this stage.
Nanjo Honami looked at her father who had been laughing and asked curiously, "What's the matter, Dad?"
"Oh, that's right, I have something good to tell you in a few days." Nanjo Masahiro said, reaching out to straighten his daughter's kimono.
The women of the Nanjo family have to change into kimonos when they come back. This is the rule set by Nanjo Hiroshi.
"Looking forward to next Wednesday."
Nanjo Honami seemed to have guessed something. She pursed her lips and bowed her head to Nanjo Masahiro: "Yes, Dad. Then I'll go say goodnight to grandpa."
"Okay, let's go." Nanjo Masahiro waved his hand and stood aside to make way for his daughter.
