"I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but after being told this, there is no way out." Ooka Tomoshi said slowly with a cold face.
"Oh? In this situation, what do you think we should do now?" Pei Ziyun took a sip of coffee and asked expressionlessly.
"Yamada-kun, it is unwise to confront the Bando family head-on." Ooka Tomoshi shook his head, shook the coffee in his hand, and said: "The Bando Consortium reached its peak in the hands of Bando Masashi. Such a person, as long as he is alive, will A very terrible person."
"Besides, Bando Masashi has a history of killing relatives." Ooka Tomoshi whispered.
Bando Kuangzhi also has a second brother, Bando Yasuhiko, and a third brother, Bando Kazuhiko.
Due to the Great Depression more than ten years ago, the entire Japanese economy suffered heavy losses, causing riots in Japanese society. This riot also directly affected the Bando Foundation.
Due to the severe shrinkage of the Bando Consortium, Bando Masashi was eager to deal with various matters, and handed over these incidents to his brothers Bando Yasuhiko and Bando Kazuhiko.
But they didn't expect that both Bando Yasuhiko and Bando Kazuhiko would be hit hard by this incident.
It is said that an important company in the south of the city was harassed at that time. Dozens of local unemployed men blocked the door and prevented people from entering or leaving, making it impossible to work normally.
When Bando Yasuhiko arrived at the company and was about to persuade him, one of the rioters suddenly hit his head with a stone. He fell unconscious on the spot and became a vegetative state. Ten years ago, he ended his life in a hospital bed.
The person who injured him was not caught at that time. He resisted arrest when the police arrived and was shot to death.
Bando Kazuhiko went to the factory at that time. He was involved in a car accident on the road and died on the spot. The driver who caused the accident was caught by the police and committed suicide by swallowing poison.
In this regard, many people suspected that these accidents were caused by Bando Kuangzhi. Because Bando Kuangzhi and his two brothers were very unhappy due to property issues, Bando Kuangzhi took advantage of the turmoil to kill his two brothers in one fell swoop. Winning the position of head of the family.
However, after Bando Kuangshi ascended to the position of the head of the Bando family, he vigorously innovated and not only rescued the Bando Consortium from the impact of the Great Depression, but also quickly annexed some companies that were seriously affected by the Great Depression and some valuable enterprises, and the assets expanded. Ten times more, and no one ever mentioned the idea that Bando Kuangzhi had framed his brother.
Ooka Tomoshi briefly introduced to Pei Ziyun the magnificent life of Bando Kuangzhi.
"So, as long as Bando Kuangzhi is alive and as long as we can save Bando Yuanzi, we can suppress all the aftermath." Ooka Tomoshi said to Pei Ziyun.
"Moreover, Yamada-kun, if you want to win the Ooka Prize or the Ogawa Prize, to be honest, no matter how good your work is, it will be at least ten years later." Ooka Tomoshi put the coffee in his hand on the table and said sincerely.
"But if you get the support of the Bando family, none of this will be a problem." Ooka Tomoshi stared at Pei Ziyun and said these words word by word.
"Who are you speaking for? Is it directly under the instruction of Bando Masashi?" Pei Ziyun suddenly asked after listening to Ooka Tomoshi's words.
Seeing Pei Ziyun suddenly ask this question, Ooka Tomoshi changed his face slightly, clasped his hands under the table, and his palms couldn't help but sweat a little, and said, "I, I..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Ziyun, saying: "No matter who you speak for, I don't care. Even if Bando Kuangzhi is crazy, it has nothing to do with me."
"As long as I can do the following things, what's the problem for me to reach out?"
Pei Ziyun picked up his cell phone, forwarded an email, sent it to Ooka Tomoshi, and said to him: "The emails inside are my three published novels in addition to the two."
"You send it back immediately. As long as the Bando family agrees to help me win the Ooka Prize and Ogawa Prize within three years, that is, when I graduate from junior high school."
"I will agree to the rescue." Pei Ziyun said decisively: "Other than that, don't think about it."
"When a warrior is angry, his blood will be splashed every step of the way. He will not be afraid of threats."
"I believe that the Bando family, which has been passed down for 200 years, will understand."
After hearing what Pei Ziyun said, Ooka Tomoshi hesitated for a moment. It was not that Pei Ziyun asked for a high price. In fact, from a purely monetary perspective, it was not high.
In terms of background and power alone, there is no doubt that the Bandō family can push a work into the finals of the Ooka Award and Ogawa Award, but if you want to win the final trophy, the work must also be of very high quality.
The power of the Bando family is not omnipotent in this kind of project that has a great impact on society.
However, Ooka Tomoshi only thought for a moment and immediately forwarded Pei Ziyun's email, and also explained in detail what Pei Ziyun requested.
This matter must be decided by the people behind.
Bando family
In Tokyo, where land is at a premium, there is a large house with a parking lot, a main building, a north building, a departure building, a new building, a teahouse, a cooking room, and even a shrine inside the house.
The gate is a seven-meter-wide double iron gate, and the guardrail walls extend to both sides. Shrubs are planted on the inside, paired with pine trees, covering the entire mansion in shadow.
The garden area is very large. In the main hotel alone, the total number of rooms is at least thirty, with strict security. In one of the rooms, a skinny old man was lying on the bed.
This old man has almost lost all his hair and has some age spots on his forehead. His whole body is skin and bones, and he looks very thin, giving people a feeling that he is not going to die soon.
But what is very special is that his cloudy eyes are occasionally very sharp. If someone looks at him, it will give people the feeling of a sharp sword. This old man is Bando Kuangzhi, the head of the Bando Consortium.
At this time, someone entered the bedroom after being checked by multiple bodyguards. She walked lightly towards Bando Masashi and softly reported the information she had received from Ooka Tomoshiri.
After listening to her report, Bando Masashi waved his hand and said: "Immediately contact the reviewers and editors. I want to know within 30 minutes whether these works have the potential to reach the top."
"Hey, I'll do it right away!" The middle-aged man in dark black clothes bowed, whispered, and immediately turned around and ordered that no matter who was on the spot, the resources needed to win the Ooka Prize and Ogawa Prize, I didn’t mention it at all, because to the Bando Consortium, it was just drizzle.
Only the quality of the work matters.
In a high-end apartment, Tomo Takarato is playing with his daughter Kiyomi Takarato.
Tomoe Takarato is a senior editor. He usually has a hard time going home due to work. Today is a rare half-day off. Tomoe Takarato returned home early and played with his daughter.
His daughter Kiyomi Takarato is only 9 years old now. She is very cute. Because her father often comes home late, he does not have time to interact with his daughter. As a result, Kiyomi Takarato is not very close to her at ordinary times, which makes Tomo Takarato very distressed. For this reason, the family I went to consult a doctor specifically.
The doctor told Tomoe Takarato that as long as he goes home more often and spends more time with his daughter, the relationship will naturally get better. He also suggested buying a cat for his daughter so that she can have more time to play games.
Therefore, Tomoe Takarato specially bought an orange cat named Kitty for his daughter. Since buying this orange cat and spending more time with his daughter, his daughter has become much closer.
At this time, Tomoe Takarato was teasing the orange cat named Kitty with his daughter.
The daughter took a cat-teasing stick and kept teasing the orange cat. The orange cat was still small at this time, and kept running "meowing, meowing, meowing" while staring at the cat-teasing stick with its bright eyes.
"Ah, so cute."
"Cats are very cute, and my Kiyomi is even cuter." Tomoe Takarato looked at it with satisfaction. After a long time, he took out the cat food and a carton of milk.
"Kiyomi, after playing for a while, it's time to rest." Tomoe Takarato poured milk into a small basin for cats. The orange cat stretched out its uvula and licked the milk. As it moved, the bell continued to ring.
Just then, the phone rang.
"...Is it a phone call?" Tomo Takarato looked at it with a smile and was very happy in his heart. At this time, his expression darkened and he was angry. He had to answer the phone helplessly even though he was on vacation.
"If it hadn't been for the call from the director and president, I would have cut it off." He once told others that if there was nothing very important, don't bother, so when he received the call, he was a little impatient, but he heard the caller's voice. He immediately stood up, showed a respectful look, and said to the other side of the phone: "Hi, I'll go and see it right away."
With that said, Tomo Takarato said sorry to his daughter, got up and went to the computer.
