I teach kendo in Tokyo

Nanjo Masahito nodded immediately: "Okay, father, I will make arrangements right away."

In fact, Nanjo Masahito had expected that Nanjo Hiroshi would say this, so he made preparations in advance.

The meeting he arranged with Senator Asakura and his son was five days later.

In fact, Nanjo Masahito wanted to settle the matter immediately. After all, Councilor Asakura did not insist on marrying the daughter of the Nanjo family. If it took a long time, other consortiums might come out and stop him.

But he couldn't arrange the time earlier, because the big shots' schedules were very full. Nanjo Masahito originally wanted to arrange it for this Sunday, two days later, but that day, Senator Asakura was going to play golf with Minister Daizo.

Nanjo Masahito naturally did not dare to disturb the golf trip of the congressmen and ministers - unless his father Nanjo Hiroya went to play, then he could have a "friendly match".

It's a pity that Nanjo Hiro doesn't like golf. He would rather play shogi with retired shogi celebrities or go to the Takarazuka Opera House to listen to operas.

Nanjo Hiro's lifelong wish was to become a true "Chinese", and the Chinese were actually the samurai class that became fully westernized after the Meiji Restoration.

Therefore, he was obsessed with all traditional things, and held prejudice and contempt for things that emerged only after the war.

In short, Nanjo Masahito could only arrange the meeting five days later, which still took a lot of effort. If he just reported his intention to meet with Representative Asakura, he would have left Representative Asakura's secretary to arrange the meeting. I'm afraid it will take even longer.

After saying good night to Nanjo Hiro, Nanjo Masahito exited his father's Japanese-style room, and happened to meet his daughter Nanjo Honami, who was saying good night to her grandfather.

Seeing his daughter, Nanjo Masahito couldn't help but smile.

His eldest son, Nanjo Mamoru, didn't live up to his expectations and actually went after a female anchor. As a result, the Nanjo family has not yet established a solid relationship with a powerful political family.

Although Nanjo Masahito married his childhood sweetheart, that was because when he got married, the Nanjo family was still a small wealthy man with only a small processing factory. Even if Nanjo Masahito wanted to abandon his bad wife, there was no better choice for him.

Nowadays, the Nanjo family, which has a great family and business, needs to penetrate its roots deeper into the land of this island country.

The easiest way is to get married.

Nanjo Masahito once had high hopes for his son Nanjo Mamoru, hoping that he could bring back a well-matched eldest lady.

Many political families in Japan will train their sons-in-law as legitimate heirs, because the quality of a son is relatively random, just like drawing a card, and it is not possible to draw a card ten times in a row but only a single draw.

There is also a ten-month cooling-off period.

The son-in-law, on the other hand, can carefully choose for as long as he wants and as many times as he wants.

If Nanjo Mamoru is chosen by the eldest lady of any family, he can be included in the son-in-law candidate list. If he is chosen, the Nanjo family will no longer have to worry about its unstable foundation.

It's a pity that Nanjo Mamoru has average conditions, and then he pursues free love and chases a female anchor back.

Nanjo Masahito was opposed to this marriage. Unexpectedly, his father Nanjo Hiro nodded in agreement after seeing the girl.

Although Nanjo Masahito is the current head of the family, Japan's large families are very feudal, and almost no one dares to openly defy the will of the old man and old lady.

Neither can Nanjo Masahito.

Fortunately, thanks to the contacts in the entertainment industry brought by the female anchor, the Nanjo Foundation successfully entered the entertainment industry and established its own entertainment company, so it was not completely without success.

Nanjo Masahito is now planning to use the financial resources of the Nanjo Foundation to support the union of several small TV stations in Tokyo to form the sixth largest national broadcasting station besides NHK and the four major private broadcasting stations.

But to do this, the current "rootless" state of the Nanjo Consortium will definitely not work.

At least it must be with a family that can steadily produce Tokyo Metropolitan Council members.

Japan is different from the United States and South Korea. In the United States and South Korea, conglomerates are all-powerful, but in Japan, the political families transformed from the Chinese are the real powerhouses.

However, many political families are themselves plutocrats, so they look the same as the United States.

As a rising star, the Nanjo Consortium, like Sonny and other rookies, is eager to extend its tentacles into Japan's upper class.

In fact, there is another way, which is to support a new political family from scratch. Many companies that prospered after the war followed this path, supporting young people with potential, starting from local councillors, and working their way up. MP.

But this is not as efficient as obtaining a ready-made covenant directly through marriage.

This is why Nanjo Masahito smiles when he sees his daughter.

Honami Nanjo, the apple of the eye of the Nanjo family, has good conduct and beautiful appearance. She studied in a famous aristocratic private girls' school and once served as the vice president of the student union.

He can dance ballet, play the piano, and plays the violin well. In addition, based on Nanjo Hiro's advice, he learned kendo skills.

After years of hard work, Nanjo Honami has become quite famous in the upper-class social circles.

Marrying a daughter requires a well-matched marriage, but if the daughter's qualities are particularly good, then the standard of being a well-matched daughter can be fine-tuned appropriately.

Some families who originally looked down on the Nanjo family may extend an olive branch to the Nanjo family because of Nanjo Honami's excellence.

Congressman Asakura is one of them.

This is not a member of the Metropolitan Assembly, but a serious member of the National Assembly who can play golf with the Minister of Finance!

As long as Nanjo Honami successfully marries the second son of the Asakura family, the future of the Nanjo family will be stable.

In fact, Nanjo Masahito's original idea was to choose a man with relatively poor conditions as his son-in-law.

Just like Nanjo Honami's quality will improve the "matching level" of the Nanjo family, if the man's character or other flaws are flawed, the other party's matching level will be lowered.

In this way, it is not impossible to marry a daughter into a political family that has been a minister or even a prime minister!

But Nanjo Hiro dotes on his granddaughter Nanjo Honami, so Nanjo Masahito cannot do this.

He must choose a young man as his son-in-law who is upright and talented, and whose appearance does not disappoint the old man's expectations.

Senator Asakura's second son is the best choice at this stage.

Nanjo Honami looked at her father who kept laughing and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Dad?"

"Oh, that's it. I have something good to tell you in a few days." Nanjo Masahito said, reaching out to straighten the skirt of his daughter's kimono.

Women in the Nanjo family must change into kimonos when they come back. This is the rule set by Nanjo Hiro.

"Looking forward to next Wednesday."

Nanjo Honami seemed to have guessed something. She pursed her lips and lowered her head to Nanjo Masahito: "Yes, dad. Then I'll go say good night to grandpa."

"Okay, go ahead." Nanjo Masahito waved his hand and stood aside to make way for his daughter.
