Chapter 1207 1216, So this is what it feels like when you don’t want to work hard anymore?
At the entrance of Chiba Prefecture station, as the high-speed train arrives, waves of passengers come in and out of the station.
A simple young man was speaking loudly to the crowd in the square outside the station, talking about his political ideas and how he would speak for Chiba Prefecture if he were elected as a member of parliament.
Unfortunately, most pedestrians just cast a quick glance at the young man with a look of surprise. In fact, as ordinary people, most people have no interest in politics.
After the speech in the morning was finished, the young man packed up the speakers and banners by himself. As a political novice who didn't even have a party, naturally there was no one to back him up, so he had to do everything by himself.
As the first batch of students at the Panasonic School of Political Economy, although they learned a lot of knowledge about political economics, they did not get much resource support before they actually entered politics.
"Noda-kun!"
Suddenly, a call came from his ear. Yoshihiko Noda turned his head and saw a Mediterranean uncle wearing glasses. A smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Yoshimura-san, you're on a business trip to Chiba Prefecture again!"
I met this uncle Yoshimura Otomo by chance at the station a few years ago. He had just finished a speech and we had a drink together. We became friends from then on.
"Not really." Yoshimura Otomo looked at Noda Yoshihiko's actions and stepped forward to help. "The speech just ended?"
"The morning rush hour is almost over," Noda Yoshihiko took the speaker handed over by Yoshimura Otomo, "Arigato."
"Is there anything else that you need to do next, Noda-san?"
"Well, nothing too important."
In fact, Yoshihiko Noda has to go to work. After all, if he does not enter politics or donate money, political novice will rely on his own salary to make a living.
"That's great, let's go sit in the cafe for a while?" Yoshimura Otomo patted Noda Yoshihiko on the shoulder, "I have something I want to talk to Noda-san about."
"Hi"
Noda Yoshihiko was a little confused. He knew that Yoshimura Otomo was the boss of the Shuyou Group. He was also very happy to have met a high-level person when they met before. However, he was just an independent candidate and had not even entered the political arena. He did not expect that there would be any further contact.
I found a coffee shop near the station. There were not many people there so it was very quiet early in the morning.
"Noda-kun still gives speeches in front of the station every morning."
Fangcun Dayou took a sip of coffee and asked slowly,
"Are you confident about the Chiba Prefecture council election at the end of the month?"
"Ha, you're talking about 100% confidence. That's definitely not the case."
Noda Yoshihiko shook his head. He was born in a humble family, and his competitor was the Usui family in Chiba Prefecture.
"But after almost half a year of giving speeches, I have made many people in Chiba Prefecture know the name Noda Yoshihiko!"
"Being able to make people remember your name is half the battle!"
Yoshimura Otomo lamented that although many people were not optimistic about giving a speech at a crowded station, some even thought it was just a clownish act to attract attention.
But it is undeniable that after half a year of perseverance, many people in Chiba Prefecture have remembered the name Noda Yoshihiko. At least they know that he is a tenacious person, and they have also more or less understood Noda Yoshihiko's political views.
When voting, most voters who have no particular preference will choose someone they are familiar with.
"Noda-kun, it's really rare that you can persist for half a year!"
"Haha, Fangcun-san, you have nothing but perseverance!"
At Panasonic University of Political Science and Economics, Yoshihiko Noda learned one thing: he must persist, even at the cost of his life!
As a person who aspires to be a politician, Yoshihiko Noda appears to be simple to the outside, but in fact he is also very sharp-minded:
"Fangcun-san suddenly came to me for coffee today. Is there something you want to tell me?!"
"."
Yoshimura Otomo tapped his head lightly on the table, thinking about what to say next.
"If Mr. Noda says that our Shuyou Group is willing to support your election, what do you think?!"
"Shuyou Group?"
This sentence immediately broke the originally calm heart of Noda Yoshihiko. In Japan, the Shuyou Group may not be as deeply rooted as the old chaebols such as Panasonic and Mitsubishi, but it is undoubtedly a giant in the entertainment industry.
Such a big company is suddenly going to support an amateur's election? !
No matter how you think about it, there must be something wrong, right?!
"Why would Shuyou Group suddenly want to support my election?!"
Noda Yoshihiko asked anyway.
"Noda-kun is not a young man who is ignorant of worldly affairs. He naturally knows that when a company develops to a certain level, it must have political support."
Yoshimura Otomo did not hide anything, but slowly expressed his current thoughts.
"The tree friends are now flourishing, but without a foundation, this prosperity will not last long."
"Even a political fluctuation could put the company in trouble."
“Therefore, in order to ensure the longevity of the company, the management of Shuyou, in addition to making political donations to existing political parties, is also making every effort to discover new political potential stocks.”
After hearing this, Yoshihiko Noda realized that he was regarded as a potential stock with great potential.
To be honest, this sudden feeling of being valued even made Yoshihiko Noda feel a little flattered. However, his studies at the Panasonic School of Political Science and Economics made him understand the risks of being supported by a certain interest group.
Most of the big companies and chaebols of this era are a combination of politics and business, and many of the new big agencies in the entertainment industry are even whitewashed by the underworld.
Everyone's history of making a fortune is half black and half white. Many of the first pots of gold were stained with blood. If they were liquidated, many founders would inevitably go to jail. And the politicians related to these companies would inevitably resign, bow out, and even ruin their political careers.
Compared with other companies, Shuyou is much better, at least its history is very clean. Naoki Nagayama is a genius that only appears once in a century.
"Yoshimura-san, you mean that Shuyou is going to support my campaign?!"
"Yes!" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "In addition to basic cash support, we can also provide convenience in terms of manpower and resources."
"For now, Shuyou can support Noda-kun to hold a round of high-profile campaign speeches before the parliamentary elections to ensure that Noda-kun can obtain the qualifications of a member of parliament."
"After that, we can coordinate resources to support Mr. Noda's political views."
“When we get to Congress, our friends can help us connect with relevant people.”
"Later, we can even mobilize our artists and media to promote Noda-kun."
"."
With a strong financial and publicity backing from Shuyou, it can be said without exaggeration that Noda Yoshihiko's journey as a member of parliament will be smooth sailing.
It will even be a huge help in later career advancement into high-ranking government officials, running for party leader, entering the cabinet, etc.!
"Noda-kun."
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Noda Yoshihiko and said seriously,
"After accepting the donation from the tree friends, I no longer have to worry about raising funds, and even the road to entering the cabinet will be smooth."
Faced with such temptation, Yoshihiko Noda felt a little dry in his throat. He was just a political novice, so how could such a big pie suddenly fall from the sky?
Using this to seduce young people? Who can stand the test?!
"Cough cough."
Noda Yoshihiko took a sip of coffee to calm down, thought for a while and asked,
"So what's the price, Yoshimura-san?!"
For some reason, Yoshimura Otomo suddenly had the urge to yell "everything!" Although he restrained himself, he was still very confused.
After thinking for a long time, he vaguely remembered that Naoki Nagayama seemed to have said this to him before. The overly magical scene made him remember it subconsciously.
Naoki Nagayama has done a lot of harm to people!
"Haha~"
Fangcun Dayou laughed.
"It's too unrealistic for Noda-kun to say what the price is at this time! At least wait until Noda-kun is elected as a member of the Chiba Prefecture Council before discussing this."
“Even if investors invest, they will not be able to get returns until the company develops to a certain level!”
Noda Yoshihiko nodded:
"That's true. I was just so surprised by the sudden support~"
"Don't worry, Noda-kun. Businesses support politicians mostly for the purpose of making money."
Fangcun Dayou waved his hand.
"We, the tree friends, don't need much help in making money. All we want is to have our voice heard in politics!"
“Don’t need much help making money.”
This sentence was said with such confidence that even Yoshihiko Noda was a little jealous. He graduated from the prestigious Waseda University and worked hard in society for so long, but he didn't make much money.
However, as a politician who has just grown up, Noda Yoshihiko immediately adjusted his mentality, stood up and bowed:
"Then please take care of me in the future, Yoshimura-san!"
"Okay, okay," Fangcun Dayou stood up with a smile, "We still have a long way to go."
The two continued chatting in the cafe for a whole morning, and even had another drink together at lunch. How could the fledgling Noda Yoshihiko be a match for the old drunkard? He was drunk unconscious.
When Noda Yoshihiko woke up at home in the evening, he thought he had just had a daydream.
It was only his younger brother Noda Takehiko's words that made him realize the truth.
"Was it brought back by a car?"
"Well, the almost new Nissan is still parked at the door. The driver left the key and said he was lending it to you for your daily transportation."
Noda Takehiko looked at his brother with a strange look.
"The driver also left a leather envelope with 50 yuan in it as a token of appreciation."
"When you were still drunk, someone from the tailor shop called and said they had received the order and wanted to make an appointment for a custom-made suit. Because you were still asleep, they left their number and it seems the advance payment had already been made."
"."
Noda Yoshihiko was a little confused, and before he could react, he saw his younger brother Noda Takehiko looking at him with strange eyes.
"Cars, money, clothes. Brother, don't you want to work hard anymore?"
"what?"
"I mean, did he fall into the arms of some rich woman?!"
Noda Takehiko paused and continued,
"Can you introduce me to it too?!"
"." Noda Yoshihiko reacted and roared, "Get out!"
After kicking his younger brother out of the house, Noda Yoshihiko sighed and thought, this is what it feels like for politicians funded by big companies. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is taken care of except living in their own home!
It seems that when we were drinking at noon, Yoshimura Otomo also mentioned that he wanted to hire a professional company to help plan the campaign speech activities.
What to do? Noda Yoshihiko feels that he may not be able to withstand the attack of sugar-coated bullets!
I will have to sell myself to my tree friends from now on!
In the Yamazakura Garden in Chiyoda.
Mingcai didn't have work today, and Qinglai's mother and elder sister came to see her, so the Yamazakura Courtyard was very lively.
Xiao Ai is a little older than Xiao Xia Hua, and she is playing with Barbie dolls with Xiao Xia Hua, so they can play together even though they are both girls. Xiao Zhaoming cannot play video games at the request of his elder sister Ming Hui, so he can only chase Ying Taro around the yard and play crazily.
The fat orange one, after discovering that there were two more children at home, had already climbed up the cherry tree and refused to come down.
Akina is very worried that her mother Chieko seems to have lost some weight:
"Ogasan, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"Sometimes I feel a little tired and have indigestion," Chieko Nakamori smiled and shook her head, "but it's no big deal."
"Then let's go to the hospital for a check-up!"
Mingcai suggested,
“You should have a physical examination every year anyway.”
“This is too much trouble”
Chieko Nakamori shook her head. People who have been poor since childhood are always reluctant to go to the hospital.
"The women's hospital where I gave birth to Xia Hua has a physical examination program."
Mingcai said,
"Don't worry about money or anything, we have insurance"
The rich attach the most importance to health. For billionaires, insurance companies and private hospitals have comprehensive insurance programs, which include various benefits, of which free physical examinations are just one of them.
In the end, under Akina's insistence, Chieko Nakamori agreed to go to the hospital for a physical examination.
"Will Akina Naoki come back for dinner tonight?"
"Naoki-san, he should eat on the set when filming." Akina replied, "Usually he eats at home in the morning."
"Oh, you come back every day?"
"Hi," Akina nodded with a smile, "She said she had to say goodnight to Natsuka at least once a day."
Chieko smiled and asked:
"So how is it going between you and Naoki? Is there anything going on?"
They were all adult women, so Akina knew that there was no need to continue. She blushed a little and said coquettishly:
"Why do you ask these questions, Ogasang?"
Seeing her daughter becoming more and more beautiful, Chieko no longer worried about the relationship between her daughter and her husband:
"Okay, okay, Xiao Xiahua has grown up so much. Do you want to have another baby this year?!"
"Ah? Have another child this year?"
"Yes." Chieko Nakamori said as a matter of course, "The Nagayama family must have a male heir to inherit the family business~"
Chieko Nakamori grew up in the previous generation. Although she does not particularly favor boys over girls, she still accepts that men should inherit the family business.
In this era, it is common to have multiple children in a row.
"Naoki-san and I do plan to have more children, but we don't plan to have them this year."
Mingcai answered her mother's question.
"At least wait until Xiao Xiahua grows up a little bit."
"Is that so?" Nakamori Chieko didn't persuade him any further, "It's good to have a plan."
The family had a lively lunch in Yamazakurain, and then in the afternoon Akina took her mother to a private hospital for a detailed physical examination. Of course, some items required fasting, so they had to wait until the next day to check.
Mingcai didn't expect that such an ordinary inspection would actually reveal a big problem.
