## Chapter 299 – Episode 299. Preemptive Strike (2)
Truth be told, Takuya didn’t talk about it much, but the Tohomu family and the companies Takuya managed had grown tremendously.
To what extent?
“…I think we need to start applying some checks and balances.”
“Their influence is now reaching other regions!”
“At this rate, we’ll be swallowed up like the families around us!”
Basically, all the families within Miyagi Prefecture had been devoured.
You might ask how a family can be devoured in modern times, but it was done by economically pressuring the companies run by the families one by one, and then receiving their allegiance.
Moreover, the process was incredibly swift and precise.
You might wonder what’s wrong with that. Ordinary companies do that kind of thing all the time.
But this wasn’t a battle between companies; it was between families.
Usually, arranged marriages or peaceful dialogues are the norm.
Well, isn’t that right? The power of families is already weakening in modern times, so to completely crush it or normalize it through outsiders without allowing them to do as they please…
They were trying to bring down the families with their own hands, so it was only natural to think this way.
Of course, the main reason was obviously…
‘Damn it, the first one to be attacked here is me with my bad finances…!’
‘The accounting is so messed up, you shouldn’t even look at it!’
‘I don’t really care… but if I back out here, I’ll be the next target…’
The main reason was that they would be screwed if their territories were attacked.
Families usually run businesses for financial stability.
Of course, in modern times, most large corporations have either been dismantled by the chaebols or don’t get involved in management at all, but many smaller families often have family members running the business.
And most of these companies reign like kings, but others are trying to attack their hegemony.
Of course, there was bound to be backlash.
So, from the families’ point of view, attacking the Tohomu family was only natural.
Not only that, but they even sold precious land acquired by some of the acquired families (important), and didn’t care about individual investors as external managers!
The Tohomu family kept doing things that weren’t done in Japan, so there was a problem!
In fact, the families who accepted things that ordinary companies should do as “why are you doing this?” were one thing.
Why were even simple companies attacking Takuya’s company?
The reason here wasn’t very difficult either.
First of all, people knew that Takuya’s company was half-managed by the Tohomu family.
In reality, it wasn’t much different.
The problem was Takuya’s family’s aggressive mergers and acquisitions.
Of course, at first, they only knew about investment, AI, or people in the 5th industry.
But as time went by, Takuya was aiming for more and more.
First, he started aggressive corporate acquisitions while keeping most of the companies in Miyagi Prefecture under his control.
Of course, competitors had no choice but to be nervous.
Didn’t he say he was moving to another country?
Does the influence remaining here disappear just because the main body is moved?
No. Far from disappearing, it was clear that they would further solidify their posture and then invade.
Therefore, companies were also joining hands and cooperating according to their own interests.
And the cult…
“Why are they bothering with them? They don’t even solicit donations or collect offerings.”
Rather, they lost money when they invested, so why attack them when they never profited?
Of course, it would be understandable if they were attacked because they were a cult.
“What’s the problem with us believing in our god!!!”
“Mayor, you crazy bastard! You saw the Sea Dragon God just like us, so why are you oppressing us!!”
“Guarantee the freedom of the Salvation Church…!!!”
The locals were noisy like this, so why bother attacking them?
‘I wouldn’t have done that myself.’
The reason why ordinary people don’t know much about the war between companies is because it doesn’t affect their lives.
But when this war starts to affect their lives, people strongly resist.
Well, it was only natural since they were trying to invade their peaceful daily lives.
For reference, this religious oppression was only happening in one area.
It seemed that they had asked a politician who was close to that side to proceed with the work, but as a result of quickly turning the tables on the elders who believed in the religion from the day after Takuya was oppressed.
The governor of Miyagi Prefecture (the head of the prefecture) promised to normalize the religion.
No. Rather, it was strange to oppress them.
In the first place, the Salvation Church is now just the Salvation Church in name, and it is actually a religion that believes in the local deity.
Rather, the mayor who oppresses such a place would be criticized as a strange guy.
Anyway, these were roughly the things that happened to Takuya, and it was time to move to solve them.
‘First of all, I solved the religion by mobilizing the citizens. Next…’
It was time to appease the companies.
Of course, it wasn’t the companies owned by the families.
I was going to let them off if possible, but nearly half of their finances were not good enough to let them off.
So, I had to deal with them.
Then, the people I had to appease were.
“Hello. My name is Mori Takuya. I am the owner of this place.”
“Hehe, you, a young man, are very busy…”
“…That’s what I’m saying.”
They were the ones who fought against external enemies so that the companies they had built with their own hands would not collapse.
The reason why I chose them instead of the companies owned by the families is simple.
They would have more ownership of their own companies.
It’s strange to not have ownership of the company you created, but anyway, their financial situation was mostly better than the companies owned by the families.
So, if I could make them my allies, I should.
Well, there were other reasons besides that.
“First, please sit down.”
After telling them to sit down, Takuya lightly organized the hierarchy by sitting down comfortably first, and then said.
“I’ll ask you directly. Please stop the attacks on me and my company.”
“Ahem… I don’t know what you mean…”
“Why are you acting like that when we all know each other.”
The presidents in the room nodded slightly at Takuya’s answer.
It was a place they had expected from the beginning.
Takuya looked at them and put down a few documents and said.
“If you accept our proposal, I would like to make this contract.”
“Technology partnership and joint development project proposal…?”
“Let’s just say it’s a sign of peace from our side.”
At Takuya’s words, they read the contract with half-doubt.
Well, it was understandable.
If the guy you were fighting suddenly treats you well, I would doubt it too.
Of course, the contract was a very peaceful contract, except for the minor unfair contracts that the client makes to the contractor.
The benefits gained from this contract were much greater than the losses.
“How can you do this with these conditions…”
“I’m not a bad person enough to give harsh punishments to those who haven’t even fought properly yet. Rather, I only give bigger benefits to those who seize opportunities.”
Their pupils began to shake at Takuya’s proposal.
Takuya smiled quietly at the sight.
This was the sight he wanted.
The moment even one traitor comes out of there, their alliance will simply crumble.
Of course. Well, the reason why they are contracting is only to prevent their companies from being attacked, but there was no reason to refuse when they voluntarily chose cooperation instead of threats.
Thanks to that, Takuya got everyone’s signature in that place.
It took about 7 hours to invite them, review the contract, and sign the contract.
As expected, it was a contract that could determine their fate, so they were cautious.
Anyway, after finishing the contract, Takuya leaned back on the sofa and started to look at the paperwork.
I’ve caught the axes for now, so I only need to deal with the 잡놈들 on the company side, and the real problem is the families…
‘It’s too much of a burden to deal with all of them.’
Because of history and tradition, fighting them would cause great damage even if I didn’t lose.
Takuya wanted to avoid this as much as possible.
That’s why he was racking his brains and making plans.
Ah, of course, I’m not making all of them.
I look at people who are much smarter than me to make strategies, and Takuya’s job was to decide which of those choices was the best.
Of course, Takuya was so distressed because he was the decision maker.
While he was worrying alone and drinking tea for a while.
“President, I came to change your tea.”
Takuya unconsciously put strength in his lower body at the sight of Lunako in an OL-like outfit that clung to her whole body.
Hmm, I was going to rest quietly today, but it didn’t seem like it would work.
Lunako also realized that fact, and after changing the tea for a while, she carefully loosened his tie and went under the desk and said.
“I will help you because it seems that the president is very uncomfortable.”
“Ah, okay.”
At Takuya’s words, Lunako skillfully took off his pants and put on latex gloves that she didn’t know where she took out.
Swish~♥
She grabbed Takuya’s dick with both hands and started moving her hands up and down.
