When talking about Seibu Group, for example, there is an unavoidable name that cannot be avoided, and that person is Kojiro Tsutsumi, the founder of Seibu Group.

This man used to be a secretary to the Prime Minister, and was later elected as a member of parliament, and even became the Speaker of the National Diet. However, Kojiro Tsutsumi was not interested in politics unless it could make money.

And Kojiro Tsutsumi is really good at making money.

If someone interviewed him, he would probably say that he would set a small goal first, such as buying a Wanda or something like that.

Just like when World War II just ended, the land in Tokyo, which was bombed to ashes, was cheap, and not many people dared to buy it because of concerns about the current situation. However, Kojiro Tsutsumi not only purchased a large amount of land near the railway hub, but also acquired land from fallen nobles.

It was by relying on his status as a politician to monopolize land that he laid a solid foundation for the Seibu Group, which has become a well-known and powerful company today. It has more than 170 large enterprises and more than 100,000 employees. Its business involves various industries such as railways, transportation, department stores, real estate, catering, schools, and research institutes.

It was also thanks to the empire built by Kojiro Tsutsumi that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was able to rank first in the world's richest entrepreneurs twice in 1987 and 1988 in the ranking of the world's richest entrepreneurs published by the famous financial magazine Forbes.

In addition to the Seibu Group, there is also the Seibu Distribution Group, which is also an industry of Tsutsumi Ieyasu and has more than 100 companies under its umbrella, including Seibu Department Store, Seibu Supermarket, MUJI and other famous companies.

Among them, Seibu Department Store alone is the core group of the Dai-ichi Kangyo Group, so one can imagine how powerful the Tsutsumi family is.

Seiji Tsutsumi, the actual controller of Seibu Distribution Group, was once a prominent figure in Japanese politics. Even the Japan-US Security Treaty was created after he visited Eisenhower, with the approval of Kojiro Tsutsumi and the signing of Nobusuke Kishi.

One can imagine how huge the network of personal connections is behind such a political and business family.

So all along, Nagano Nao has been worrying about what kind of enemy he would face if he fought back.

The contents recorded by Kobe TV, once made public, would be equivalent to criticizing Kojiro Tsutsumi, the founder of Seibu Group. Although it would discredit the Seibu Group, it would also offend the entire Tsutsumi family.

There is the Seibu Railway Group, the Seibu Distribution Group, and the Dai-ichi Kangyo Group. If you provoke such a terrifying combination, who knows if you will be crushed to death.

However, Ikeda Sakurako seemed to be very aware of Nagano Nao's current situation. She smiled and said, "Are you worried about the connections of the Tsutsumi family? Someone will bear the pressure from the Seibu Railway Group. Nao, you just need to convince Mr. Seiji Tsutsumi."

"Ikeda, you think too highly of me, don't you? You throw dirty water on other people's fathers, and then go and tell others that your father is a bad guy, your brother is a bad guy, and we scold your brother, and you help us scold him too?" Nagano Nao said unhappily, obviously not thinking this was a good suggestion.

Ikeda Sakurako laughed out loud: "The relationship between the Tsutsumi family is very delicate. Mr. Er and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi are not the same kind of people. My grandfather once asked Mr. Er Tsutsumi whether he wanted to inherit Kojiro Tsutsumi's will and go into politics. Guess what he answered?"

This question is not difficult to guess.

According to the rules of Japanese political families, if the son of the Speaker of the House of Representatives agrees to go into politics, it is highly likely that he will become the Prime Minister.

Moreover, he personally visited the President of the United States and signed the Japan-US Security Treaty under his work. But it is obvious that Seiji Tsutsumi refused, otherwise he would be a minister of a certain ministry or a member of parliament today.

"He refused?"

"Mr. Tsutsumi's original words were, 'I am of course very grateful that Mr. Ikeda appreciates me, but for me to be a politician, I feel that my moral bottom line is still too high. I'll wait until my heart becomes as hard as stone and my conscience is gone.'" Ikeda Sakurako said with rare admiration, and the respect in her tone was truly rare.

Nagano Nao also called him a good guy.

This may sound insignificant, but if you put it another way, it is undoubtedly calling politicians conscienceless bastards.

Moreover, he said this in front of Hayato Ikeda. It was a shame for the Prime Minister to be accused of being heartless and having no conscience.

So awesome!

"Is it because there is a grudge between the Tsutsumi family and the Ikeda family?" Nagano Nao asked curiously. He really couldn't understand why someone who also came from a big family would scold the Prime Minister so mindlessly.

Ikeda Sakurako was silent for a moment and then said, "No, Mr. Tsutsumi is the younger generation that my grandfather admires the most. He has a good relationship with the Ikeda family. At that time, he was going to be chosen as the next heir."

“Why?”

"Because he admired Marx the most, Mr. Runzhi, and always wanted to complete the proletarian revolution."

“.”

Nagano Nao almost vomited blood.

"What?"

“Beep.”

A busy tone came.

The phone was hung up.

Nagano Nao was stunned for a long time.

Phone bill is too high? OK!

Phone bills are really expensive.

But what Sakurako Ikeda said about the phone bill ghost was obviously bullshit.

Is this guy trying to trick me?! Nagano Nao never dared to fully trust Ikeda Sakurako.

She is a heavy drinker and a social queen, known to everyone in school, but Kanako Nagano says that her eyes and body are still virginal.

Although he didn't understand how she figured it out, Nagano Naoto naturally believed what Kanako Nagano said.

This is terrible!

For someone who has deceived the whole world, it is easy for him to deceive himself.

What do you mean by being cute? Just listen to this kind of talk. Anyone who believes it is an idiot! Besides, the Ikeda family and the Tsutsumi family have a good relationship. Even if she doesn't get along with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, wouldn't it be easier for her to find Tsutsumi Seiji herself given the relationship between the two families?

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

I have a hunch that there is a huge conspiracy waiting for me!

Could it be that this guy knew that I had no choice and took advantage of me and then dug a pit to bury me? ? ! But now, Nagano Nao found that he had to jump into it even if he knew there was a pit.

It's better than kowtowing and begging for mercy using the etiquette of kneeling down from the ground.

Although, this one works best!

With doubts.

Nao Nagano drove back home, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yasuko Sawaguchi in his house.

"Straight man, you're back!"

"Onii-chan, why did you come back just now? Miss Sawaguchi has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Listening to the greetings from his stepmother and Qianxue, Nagano Nao asked suspiciously, "Did Miss Sawaguchi encounter any problems?"

"Well, my sewer is clogged, so I'd like to ask Nagano-kun for help in clearing it."

"Why is it blocked again? Wasn't it just cleared?"

“This time it’s really blocked.”

“.”
