Chapter 270 : The media industry

Satoshi-saneven if you were in a branch family, you still hold the family name of Kouzuki

Misuzu said

Your reputation is going to be related to Kouzuki house. Please be careful not to do anything ludicrous

Then, Misuzu looked at the other members ofprince faction

Everyone else is the same. More than a vassal, everyones our relatives. Everyone, please think that youre always carrying the name of Kouzuki house. Ruriko and I wont forsake you anymore. Howeverplease understand that if you have done something to hurt the name of our house, youll be given a severe punishment

What severe punishment?

Kouzuki Subaru asks

Well have you killed

Its not Misuzu but Reika who said that.

Eh?The students face show.

That is why Kouzuki security service is here

W-Werent it your job to protect us!?

Kouzuki Satoshi screams at Reika

Our top priority is to protect Kouzuki house. Even if you have a blood of Kouzuki, a child of a vassal, if youre someone who dont benefit the houseyoull disappear

Reika smiles.

With that saidSatoshi-san, please keep a distinct relationship with women

Misuzu said

Souji-sanplease supervise them. By all means please

Misuzu orders mainly Kouzuki Souji

Souji can no longer do anything but admit that hes a vassal.

UnderstoodI will oversee my group so they wont do any carelessness

Of courseif its a normal romance then you can do as you please. However, if you play with girls and hurt themand caused some shameful scandalyou already know what will happen, dont you?

At that time, they even wont be allowed to be banished from Kouzuki house.

Misuzus saying that theyre dead

Misuzu, you finally understood it. The head must never abandon his blood and vassals. If you just kicked out the dishonor from the house then hell still carry the name of Kouzuki in public. With relatives of courseeven the children of the old vassals, their misconduct will be Kouzuki houses responsibility. The person who can correct it by all means and erase it at will is the lords work. For example, I have punished vassals and even relatives for making false charges

Jii-chan said.

Gentlementif possible, I dont want Misuzu and Ruriko to have such painful experience. I want you to protect the name of the family

CertainlyKakka!

By your orders!

Ill bear it in mind

In theprince factionOohari Ryou, Koku Rakujin, and Torada Chitoku who has strong loyalty replied first.

Sacrifices cant be stopped in order to protect the house

Kata Takashi accepts the role given as well.

UnderstoodI will supervise Satoshi-san and Tsunoda

Natsuki Makoto said.

Tsunoda shows ageh!face

I know guys that you hang out on a delinquents party. The organizer there is familiar with Yakuza. You do know that

But, we were just guests

Tsunoda tries to make an excuse but

You guys offered funds to the party, right?

Natsuki Makoto said.

Is that true, Satoshi, Tsunoda?!

Kouzuki Soujiquestions the two.

No you seehey, Tsunoda!

Its said that sponsoring makes you popular with women

Weve made various countermeasures too

The two becomes incoherent.

Thats how they do itmaking themselves surrounded

Jii-chan said.

Arent they covering it as a party and do illegal acts such as buying and selling illegal drugs and prostitution on the back?

Kata predicts.

No way theyre that horrible!

Because, if thats what happenedthen we would get caught too

Ah, these two are idiots.

Because they think theyre lucky and a special person

They dont notice that theyre being used by bad guys.

Either way, if people of Kouzuki house participates such a doubtful partymuch more sponsored by them, itll never be allowed

Kouzuki Soujis idea is thorough maintenance.

He cant overlook anything that could hurt the name of the family

Buyyou seeSouji-san

Uhmthis really is dangerous

Those guys arent normal!

What, Kouzuki Satoshi and Tsunoda recognizes the danger of the other party.

Yet theyre already in it.

No, they were pinned by the bad guys

Fujimiya-kun

Jii-chan said

Yes, please leave it to me

Reika answers

Well be contacting thespecial division

So theres that kind of division.

I think that some of your friends will be travelling to a distant place sothe two of you must not make contact with them!

Reika looks at Satoshi and Tsunoda with cold eyes.

If you contact the target before thespecial divisionmakes a movethe two of you will be accomplices and will have to go to a far away place

Reika-chan, a far away place?

Mao-chan asks with a smile.

Its a very warm place where flowers are blooming!

Uwaa, its like heaven!

Satoshi and Tsunoda feel horrified.

Theyre going that far to protect thehouse

Shiba Akira mutters

Thats obviouswhen youre a long lasting family, the branches will also increase. Theres a lot of vassals. If so, there will be those who keep bad company or voluntarily becoming members of criminal organizations. If you dont have a thorough defense system, youll just be eaten

Jii-chan said

Kouzuki house is a leading family in Japan. Its not like the upstart Shirasaka family

Thats rightShirasaka house.

A bad guy like Shirasaka Sousuke was allowed to come out of their house.

On the contrary, even after Shirasaka Sousukes deeds were exposed to the public

The head, Shirasaka Moritsuguwas trying to protect Shirasaka Sousuke on a TV interview.

When it didnt go well, hes now asking a criminal organization to eliminate him.

If it was Jii-chan who have united the house for many yearsitll never be able to pass through thedefense system

Kouzuki house has a special department in Kouzuki security service that eliminates internal stains.

If you ask an outsider organizationyoull only give a blackmail material to them.

Pardon the lip servicethis is to protect the house. If you are going to establish a company, it is the same. A company is a house. You have a family called employees

Jii-chan talks to therising factionthis time

If your business succeedno, even if you dont succeed, as long as they think they can make money from youscoundrels will approach. Theyre sensitive to the smell of money. Always watch your surroundings carefully and make sure you have some countermeasures or else youll be devoured in one go

The members ofrising factionbecomes silent.

Up until now Ive taught you the front side of corporate managementfrom now on, itll be the other side. Power that can only be competed by power. Theres a lot of criminal organizations connected with politicians and police. Then, you must have influence over the government. Theres no fair fights. We are always in a world of survival!

Survival

From the book I read recentlythere was a certain educational critic that said Children shouldnt be educated to compete for survivalI would like to despise that critic. Humans need to survive as long as they live. If you want to survive and protect the happiness of yourself and your familythen you must not lose the will to continue fighting. Once you lose ityoull be taken down anytime. The children should be taught the skills to survive

Jii-chan said.

Of courseits not only people. A company, a house as welltheres a need for survival

In order to fight criminals, Kouzuki Security service is organized by them

Kouzuki Satoshi, Tsunoda Fumikazudont worry. Your concerns will be erased cleanly. You guys are my students after all!

Jii-chan made the two shudder.

From now onthese two will never act carelessly.

If some other bad guy comes closer

Kouzuki Souji and Natsuki Makoto are being monitored.

In case its a bad guyKouzuki Security Service will repel them.

This way, Kouzuki house is protected.

Even if a careless person among the blood relatives appear, it wont become a serious situation

Now thentheres one program I have prepared for you all

Jii-chan said

You may already know but we will be holding a meeting with the people of Shirasaka house. Is there anyone familiar with Shirasaka Hiromitsu?

Jii-chan starts his lecture.

It seems hell be showing us the usual state of the students

Ive heard that hes not in the main faction of Shirasaka house

Koumori Akira from therising factionreplied

Thats righthes the representative director on Osaka TV station

Osaka?

Japanese media industry has an interesting history you seeoriginally, theres a lot of cases founded in Osaka became nationwide scale and opened a headquarters in Tokyo. In Shirasaka houses case, its even more complicated. Shirasaka house founded a newspaper company in Tokyobought small newspaper companies in each region and accomplished nationwide development. In case of Osaka, they have acquired local newspaper companies. The only sports newspaper selling in Osaka still have the name of their newspaper remaining

Right.

I havent been to Osaka so I dont know though

Furthermorewhen it came to TV business, they first made a TV station in Osaka and invested in there. Shirasaka house cant afford to stand in TV business alone. After six years in Osaka station, they made a a series of TV stations in Tokyo. It is a hundred percent subsidiary of Shirasaka houses newspaper companydo you know what that means?

Jii-chan asks.

Unlike Tokyos TV and newspaper companiesShirasaka houses control on Osaka station is weak?

Again, fromRising faction Hanaoka Shinsuke answers.

Yeahthe people on this group have a business sense.

Thats how it is. Shirasaka houses share is less than 30% in the TV station on Osaka. The rest are local companys stocks. Therefore, though its an affiliateits not completely dominated by Shirasaka house. Especially the news program refuses transmitting from Tokyo station, theyre making their own in Osaka. Theyre not able to report in line with the intention of Shirasaka house.

I see, so thats how it is

The current head of Shirasaka house, Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu hates that situation have been intending to turn the Osaka station to a wholly owned subsidiary many times so far. However, all of the local companies rejected that he received backlash. Osaka hates to have the information sent to Tokyo be on grasp

Jii-chan said.

Shirasaka houses baseball team tootheyre not popular on Osaka only

Howeverisnt Shirasaka Hiromitsu, the representative of Osaka station a member of the family?

Shiba Akira asks.

Shirasaka Hiromitsu is a collateral family from Shirasaka house. His parents moved in Osaka and his father worked in the newspaper company in Osaka. Horimitsu himself have been working since the creation of the TV station.. He may have a name of Shirasaka but he has been raised in Osaka for his lifetime

That person will becoming to negotiate tonight?

The current Shirasaka houses newspaper and television networkhas in intense confrontation in Tokyo head office and the provinces. Its no longer an age where you can increase the viewers by the popularity of the newspapers baseball team

Is it that serious?

Kata asks.

Yestheyre pushing the bills to the provinces thats not able to cope with the change of times

Pushing?

The newspaper and TV stationsjust a news agency has too many things to do. A series of publishers and recording companies now also buy up shares on a major talent officeif this happens, they cant manage it anymore

Jii-chan snorts his nose.

To sell the artist belonging to a recording companyit takes up the music program of the own station. To make the publisher gain profitthey dramatize the story of that company. In order not to lower the stock price of the talent investmentthey aggressively appoint a talent. Everything is just selfish convenience for the Tokyo office

I see

Finallythey make movies that dont sell. This is a massive bulldozing to all of the affiliates. The publishers original work will be pushed, the talent office forces the actor to appear and the theme song will be sold to an affiliate company. Advertisement, TV stations, newspaper companies, radio, publishers, all of the affiliated companies. Andthe affiliate company buys a lot of movie tickets. Though theres profittheres no actual customers. Using all the bills to take part in advertising, then come to the local affiliate to force them to buy tickets

Ohits that kind of system.

15 years ago, when it still made sensethe ordinary people could only receive information from the TV, radio, newspaper and magazines. If you fuel thenthe customers will come in. It was able to produce fashion trends and booms. It was easy to suppress major media and not write criticism articles

Ohthere was no internet back then

Kouzuki Subaru mutters.

Thats rightnow, interesting or not, its conveyed immediately. No matter how stealthy the propaganda you madeit cant change the public opinion. The sensibility of Japanese people are sharp. They can easily find out whats real or fake

Everyone nods at Jii-chans explanation.

As a resultduring the past decade, the media has greatly reduced influence on the public. Nowadays, it doesnt boom as much as before if media pours in fuel. If the publicity effect is small then the sponsors will also decrease. In spite of that, the media companies in Tokyo cant forget the old days. There was an era when if you set fire in the television, it explodes!

I see

Im still a kid so I dont know things on the old days but

The current media companies had become organizations that only sell their products to the viewers in partnership of advertising agencies. Instead of sending informationtheyre just a merchant. As a result that made TV and newspapers avoided by the commoners

Yeah. I dont watch TV so I wont get be troubled.

I can live without knowing singers or talents.

The Tokyo office is currently unable to take any effective measuresthe local affiliates are even worse. Since the recession in the rural areas are more severe, the sponsors also decreaseowing various bills from Tokyo. And yettheyre forced to broadcast only the contents from the Tokyo officeon top of that, theyre not allowed to report their own opinions

Thats the confrontation of Tokyo and the provinces.

Shirasaka Hiromitsus TV staion in Osaka isnt a wholly owned affiliate so they can do their own broadcast without following the intention of Shirasaka house in Tokyo. Because theres a separate sponsor company in Kansai, Tokyo can only complain. As theres an affiliate in each region, theres only one that can compete with Tokyo office

That persons coming here.

My aim is to dismantle the news network in Tokyo thats controlled by the Shirasaka house. The other news organization will be spreading based on the current situation. Then, I want to reorganize the Japanese media

Jii-chan said.

Onii-chan

Mana comes to me.

Hmwhats wrong?

Mana takes my hand.

She puts it on her own ass

A naked butt not wearing any panties.

I embrace Manas waist

UnOnii-chanmy Onii-chan

The students are so absorbed in Jii-chans talk that they dont notice our situation.

In a senseI think theyre very serious people

Ah, Jii-chan said that he let five people go home

Then this means

Even a frivolous person like Kouzuki Satoshi and Tsunoda have a point worthyThats what Jii-chan thinks.

UnI understand now, dont judge too easily.

Its not just the bad pointsbut also the good points.

Geez, what are you two doing!

Nei-san comes close.

Onii-chans teasing my ass!

Mana answers witha red face.

Is that so?Youre spoiled!

Nei-san smiles.

But, please keep it moderateeveryones staring at Mana-chan!

Eh?

Misuzus also showing a cold look.

The small devil smiles.
