If one cannot dream, one cannot change the future!

You had better look at the reality around your own feet!

I also want the blast furnace construction to succeed

Please make your dream come true.

The financial restructuring comes faster than I imagined..

If I were not a woman...

I love you

As I thought, you're grandfather's child

This is the story of the Son, who was staking his life to manufacture steel which he could boast to the world,

and of the Father, who due to the financial restructuring, fought for survival.

Thus, this is an intense tale

of love, hate, and sorrow of the Manpyo Family, which befell those Father and Son.

A Splendid Family Episode 2

Do not redistribute. This sub is for your own private use.

For Hanshin Tokushu Seiko 1967

who decided to build the blast furnace,

the biggest problem is to obtain raw materials until the blast furnace finished to be built.

Because of that, Teppei gathered all the employees, and asked them to cooperate in unity.

Why I asked you to gather here...

is because now our company's products are receiving higher appreciation than before,

that a lot of inquiries have been coming.

In the event that..

not having enough raw materials,

we cannot deliver it in time,

the trust for our company,

which we have accumulated over time, will fall to the ground.

As you can see for yourselves,

the amount of scrap cannot be said to be sufficient.

Therefore, I have something to ask all of you.

While we're also making an effort to obtain pig iron,

I want all of you to do your very best to obtain scrap.

In any case, it will be a two-year battle.

Director! What do you mean by that "two- year"?

The other day at the Board meeting,

it was officially decided that we are going to launch the blast furnace construction.

Two years from now,

a blast furnace will be there for our Hanshin Tokushu Seiko!

From now on, for two years,

every one of you please be united,

let's do our very best together!

It's not good, Director,

we haven't received any reply concerning the financial loan from Hanshin Bank yet, but you already made that announcement...

But the one who made the decision to build the blast furnace

is not Hanshin Bank, it's us.

That's true...

Somehow I felt very moved.

This way we can surpass Teikoku Seitetsu!

Thank you.

Around that time... "The Ministry of Finance"

The Ministry of Finance accelerated their action

on the Financial Restructuring.

That was by merging the the present 12 city banks "Bank Division"

to become 4-5 bigger banks

in order to resist the huge foreign capitals.

Meanwhile, the merging of those city banks, to be the first in Japan,

was broiling like a storm now,

threatening to swallow Hanshin Bank.

"Hanshin Bank" Chief of Tokyo Branch Akutagawa.

Eh?

Fukoku Bank is aiming to have the city banks merged?

Could it be that they are targeting to take over our bank....

An offer came from Fukoku Bank to our Tokyo Branch for a tie-up,

although it's a good offer to our bank,

but the merit of Fukoku Bank is too little....

President....

Perhaps it is the merging's opening move "Director Ogame"

towards financial restructuring,

yet our opponent in this case is a top bank.

If we make a careless move,

our bank will be swallowed up.

Make a call to the Budget Bureau of the Finance Ministry.

Ask for Mima-kun.

Yes Sir.

Otsukare desu.

Yoshihiko-kun

Director

Are you going to go for lunch from now?

Ahhhh...yes.

OK, let's go together. Get into my car.

Aren't you supposed to go to Tokyo for business....

That's why before going, I'd better eat first..

Tsugiko?

Tsugiko!

Teppei Onisama!

What happened? Why did you come here?

Because I have something to discuss with Teppei Onisama...

Just at the right time, shall we go for lunch together?

You don't mind, do you?

No, I don't mind...

Get into my car!

Does Teppei Onisama often come to such an eating place like this?

Silly. Real delicious food can be found in such a place like this, you know.

Such restaurants where people have to behave affectedly are nothing. Here it is for you,

put all of it on the rice, then pour the tea over it... and try it.

What is it you want to discuss with me?

No, I was just thinking to have lunch together with you...

Aren't we doing it now?

- Oh right, aren't we? - Yes.

Ack!

You said that there was someone you like... Was that what you wanted to talk about?

Eh??

You're surprised, aren't you? Tsugiko has someone she likes!

I'm sorry, Director!

What are you saying sorry for?

Um...no...umm...

Him??

Hai.

Hai..

I'm really sorry!

No, no....

So it was Yoshihiko-kun..?

Hai.

Hai....

- I see.. - Hai

- Hurry, put it on the rice... - Eh?

When he knew that his younger sister Tsugiko, who were raised in a warped environment like the Manpyo family

fell in love purely without considering neither status nor honor,

Teppei was very happy.

From the blast furnace construction expense "Daido Bank Main Office, Tokyo"

of 25 billions, we will provide 5 billions yen by ourselves,

and for 50% of the remaining 20 billions yen it will be financed by the main bank Hanshin Bank.

The other 30% will be financed by the sub bank Daido Bank,

while the remaining 20% I'd like to ask long-term development banks.

Really? Okay I understand. (President Mikumo of Daido Bank, used to be in The Bank of Japan)

I will think about it in a positive way.

Thank you.

Please wait a moment, President Mikumo.

Funding 6 billions yen for a blast furnace constructions "Manager Watanuki"

appears to me as a dangerous idea.

Director Watanuki,

as a Banker, we have to look in the direction of business development...

People originating from The Bank of Japan always talks of the ideal so easily....

This is deposit money which our bank employees managed to collect through hardships.

Even if there is only.. "Managing Director Kojima"

...1% possibility of failure,

hadn't we better avoid it?

I don't intend to change my way of thinking.

I..

believe that nurturing a business which has a high aspiration..

..is the mission of a bank.

Thank you.

Teppei-kun.

Unless you get the permit from The Ministry of Trade and Industry, all of this come to nothing.

By all means, make sure you get the permit.

Yes, I will, certainly.

The information that Fukoku Bank is planning to take over Hanshin bank seems to be true.

I also heard a rumor which said that The Ministry of Finance is moving secretly towards the implementation of the merging.

As I thought, in order to survive...

there's no other way than to carry out a merging which the small swallows the big...

A merging which the small swallows the big??

Do you mean that we take over a city bank which rank is higher than our own?

Right.

Wow..

Therefore, Mima-kun...

I want you to provide me with the business content data of the city banks ranked from number 5th to number 9th,

which are kept in Ministry of Finance's safekeeping.

Oh no, wait, wait ...

Those are top secret information which must never be leaked out to any outsider!

When you become the Vice Minister, you will consider advancing further in the political world, won't you?

What a scary person you are...

In exchange with some political election fund in the future,

you're going to make your own daughter and son-in-law cross over a dangerous bridge?

This is to protect Hanshin Bank!

Bank Division. Auditing Section.

Ministry of Finance Bank Division. Auditing Section.

Hi Tanaka-san,

..you look busy.

Oh, Vice Chief...

It's okay, please continue.

Tonight 7:00 PM At "Senroku", Benkei Bridge

"Auditor Tanaka"

Actually....

my father-in-law asked me to look for people in the Executive Manager class range..

for Hanshin Bank Group's Shirasagi Shinyou Kinko. (= small trust union)

President Manpyo?

President Manpyo....

wants to know in detail the business situations of the city banks ranked from number 5th to number 9th,

including details of the bad loans.

But they are....

in the custody of Division Chief Haruta

to take them out is an almost- imposible task!

if found out...

Tanaka-san!

Beside in consideration of the employment matter of Shirasagi Shinyou Kinko,

please also accept this.

This is the expense for the investigation.

Hello?

Ano...Aiko-san?

What is it, at this hour, Yasuko-san?

No, umm...

please convey to him that today there was a phone call from Manager Akutagawa.

Thank you....excuse me.

Teppei-san?

Shogun..

I'm going to build a blast furnace.

I'm not wrong, am I?

Shogun!

Shogun..?

Ginpei-san?

I'm going to proceed with your omiai to Yasuda Makiko-san, okay? (=arranged marriage)

Ginpei-san, is it really okay with you?

Afterall I'm just

a pawn for the Manpyo Conglomerate.

Ginpei-san!

Aiko-san, you don't have to rush on this matter...

Well..

it's exactly because Yasuko-san cannot do anything, that I have to suffer working hard like this.

Aiko-san.

What were you saying to Mother?

Okay, then as the wife in the Manpyo family, what can Yasuko-san actually do ?

Does she know where the legal seal and the registration documents are?

Does she know how much the monthly expenditure of the Manpyo family is?

Please tell me.

Even so...

it does not mean that everything will work out as Aiko-san wish.

Next, it will be Tsugiko-san's turn, right?

I am not going to have an omiai!

Please don't be self-willed.

To create marital connections is the fate of the Manpyo family members, you know.

At that time, "The Ministry of Trade and Industry"

Teppei was visiting the Ministry of Trade and Industry, (MITI)

because unless he obtained a construction permit from The Heavy Industry Division of the Ministry of Trade and Industry,

he may not build a blast furnace.

However..... "Heavy Industries Division"

the response from Division Chief Ishibashi was extremely negative.

I understand.

Please wait, and don't have any big expectation.

Division Chief, what do you mean by that?

Takahashi-kun!

Hai!

- Please tell the next visitor to come in. - Hai!

Director Manpyo!

What a surprise to meet you at a place like this! "Teikoku Seitetsu Factory Chief Wajima"

How was the permit request for the blast furnace construction?

Because my company's relationship with MITI is special...

As expected...

Ishibashi is working together with Wajima

that's why he did not give the permit..

however..hmm..

even Teikoku Seitetsu is that wary of

your company's development, haha...

you don't have to worry ...

Using whatever means,

soon,

I'll make the permit for the blast furnace construction be materialized.

No....

What is it? Any complaint?

No...

I'll try to do it by myself, for a while longer....

You never change, always a straight person, aren't you?

But...

however hard you try, this is not a problem that you can handle.

What's important is that your goal is achieved, right?

For that purpose, there are times you have to throw your pride away.

Teppei-kun! - Hai

This time, can you leave this matter to me?

I understand.

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

Leave it to me!

Excuse me...

Ah, Okami!

So finally you meant to retire?

Eh?

You called your adopted daughter back from abroad, didn't you?

I met her in the corridor earlier.

Yes that will be better for you.

If you don't rest enough to recuperate, you won't live long, you know.

Okawa Sensei...

Fusako is still abroad. You must be mistaking someone else for her.

Eh? A mistake?

Yes. Ah, the phone...

Oh okay.

Heh, a mistake?

But she really looked like her!

Is she a geiko? (=geisha )

Fusako...

What are you and Okami trying to hide from me?

These seven years...

you..

where were you, and what were you doing?

I traveled around in Asian countries.

I was engaged in International volunteer activities.

I intended never to return anymore.

But late last year...

Okami's physical condition suddenly deteriorated...

Why were you in that hotel on the New Year?

There was an interchange meeting among the volunteer support groups at that time.

I did not go there in order to see Teppei-san!

But..

you knew that my family always spends the New Year in that hotel every year.

Do you want me to say that I was hoping to see you there?

How could it be!

The one who asked me to promise never to see you anymore...

...was you, wasn't it?!!

Was it Takasu Aiko?

That onna... (=rude way of saying woman )

did she make you promise such a thing??

Teppei-San...

you didn't know it?

What did that onna say to you??

She said that if I didn't mind...

...Teppei-san's life as the heir of the Manpyo Conglomerate..

..be ruined,

then I may go ahead and marry you.

However, if I didn't wish to ruin your life,

then I should never see you anymore.

That person....

said it with her eyes looking very stern.

Teppei returned to Kobe on the same day.

His fury for Takasu Aiko for taking his father away from his mother,

and then for also taking away Fusako from him,

could not be supressed.

Ah, Mima-san,

as usual, you're sarcastic, aren't you?

The only persons in the Manpyo family who don't have any good family ancestry as a pedigree ....

...are just you and me,

so let us get along well, okay?

Then shall we go into the night town,

and lick each other's wounds?

Wow..

Are you trying to seduce your father's lover?

If that happened, I wonder which one of us Father would throw away....

Would he dump the lover who had built up marital relatives....

or would he dump the inteligence agent into the Ministry of Finance?

Hahaha... Mima-san, you really said something interesting.

Well, if he repeatedly called me to take a trip here from Tokyo, I can't help stress accumulating in me.

Aiko-Sama...

Dannasama has returned home. (= the husband, master )

Soon we will arrive at our last stop, Shin Osaka.

The exit door is on the right, and we will be arriving at platform number 1.

Passengers going to Tokaido, Osaka, Ashiya Takatsuki, Suita, please transfer to other trains.

Thank you for using Shinkansen today.

I already took a memo of them.

After reading them, please dispose of them.

However the 7th-ranked Sanei Bank's bad loans is over 40 billions yen......

But if it is merged,

the united power of the old Conglomerate groups in Kansai area will be so strong,

they will be invicible.

From among them, perhaps the only one you can take over is just the 9th-ranked Heiwa Bank

If you're really going to do it, that's the only one possible.

Is there any merit to merge with Heiwa Bank...

if I make a mistake there's a possibility that we'll be ruined.

It's out of the question.

Then which bank are you targeting at?

Heiwa Bank

Nakanichi Bank

Sanei Bank

No, Aiko-san,

I'm already tipsy.....

But it's a gift from Mima-kun. Drink some more.

In that case...(okay )

It seems that finally she responded to your strong desire...

Because it seems ...

that I've drunk too much,

let me sleep first.

Anata..

Anata....

Anata..

Aiko-san!!

No, it couldn't be...anata.....

Anata!!

No....please, don't....

Anata..

No, please....Stop it...

No, stop it....

Anata..

Teppei-Sama!

Where's Aiko-san?

She's already gone to bed.

Please stop it!

Mother?

What's wrong?

Teppei-san..

Mother!

Mother!

What happened??

Onisan...

Let's leave them alone.

It has occured in the past as well.

It happened when Onisan was studying in Massachusetts.

10 years ago

At that time I saw it accidentally.

Mother!

In the room from where Mother came out,

I saw Father and Aiko-san.

Mother must be...

enticed to enter the room by the two persons.

So when I was absent, such a thing also happened!

Afterwards, Mother immediately returned to her family home, but...

her bankrupt court noble family,

unable to oppose Father their financial benefactor,

quickly brought her back here to the Manpyo family.

Then one day Mother..

planned to kill herself....

but it ended up as a mere attempted suicide.

After that, Mother became even more quiet,

on the other hand, Takasu Aiko...

came to act as if she were that First Lady of the Manpyo family.

Onisan...

Sanae....

Were you listening?

Around the time our marriage was decided,

I once talked to Mother about it.

I said..

that I was going to expel Takasu Aiko from this house.

But then..

she said: "Please don't do that."

"I beg you...

...please don't mind us."

Why?

Doesn't your Mother...

hate Aiko-san?

At that time, Mother...

Please think seriously.... "7 years ago"

....about Takasu Aiko.

If Aiko-san is not here...

it won't be good for me either.

I alone...

am incapable of supporting your Father.

Father is a lonely person.

Besides...

I love your Father.

It was the first time I saw Mother's eyes looking so determined...

But I've never thought she wanted to die!

Whatever Mother will say about it,

I won't stand this anymore..

Good morning.

Morning.

Ah, what is it, Teppei-san?

You look scary...

I have something to talk to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm just about to go to President Yasuda's house to talk about Ginpei-san's arranged marriage.

If you have something to talk about, please make it another time.

You should leave this house!

Teppei-san.

What did you say just now?

Get out of the Manpyo family!

You mean you have the right to tell me to get out of here?

I am here because I was asked to be here by your father who is THE HEAD of the Manpyo family.

If that's what you said, OK, fine.

I'll talk to Father directly.

Let's go!

What about realizing your own situation?

If you make Father angry,

it will affect the financing of the blast furnace project, you know!

- What did you say??! - Anata!

I'll give you a piece of warning.

With this one heart of mine,

I can steer your father's mind to the left or right.

It's not a problem an outsider like you to say!!

Between I and your father, our relationship is not that of outsiders!

Or shall we try having a competition?

To see which one of us is loved by your father?

I and my father are a family related by blood!

I have trust in family tie!

Teppei-san!

I ask you, please stop it.

Manpyo Daisuke's wife is only ONE person!

Whatever you have in mind, you always say it immediately!

You're really like Grandfather!

A family who cannot immediately say what they have in mind is a very lonely family!

I told Aiko to stay in this house because she is an indispensable person for the Manpyo family!

In the end, what this onna does is only hurting this family!!

Father is being deceived by this onna!

"This onna" you said???!!

How miserable Mother is...

Father must have known it by yourself!

But me too....

While enduring the unendurable suffering,

I mean to cherish Yasuko.

I don't understand what you're talking about!

It's something you don't have to know.

Why are you evading?!!

Why are you always escaping??

Do you yourself seriously listen to me, your father??

When I suggested that you continue to The Economic Department, in order to manage Hanshin Bank after me,

you listened to Grandfather instead, and proceeded to the Department of Metallurgy,

choosing to manage Hanshin Tokushu Seiko!!

While not listening to me,

you expect me only to listen to you! Isn't it too selfish?

Do you hate me?

I..

...always think about you the most.

I won, didn't I?

I'm looking forward to the result of the Financial Meeting.

Father!

About the financing of the blast furnace construction,

don't use the father-and-son's sentiment,

but please judge it as the President of Hanshin Bank.

Itterashaimase. (=greeting for someone leaving)

Site for Blast Furnace Construction Hanshin Tokushu Seiko Co.Ltd

Director!

What is it?

Director!

There's a call from The Ministry of Trade And Industry just now.

It seems that the permit for the blast furnace construction will be oficially authorized!

Really?

Hanshin Bank Financial Meeting

Let me start our monthly Financial Meeting.

Yoshihiko and his mates, giving up their holidays,

ran around collecting scraps.

Yoshihiko and his mates?

Director!

Yoshiko!!

I am really glad that I took over this company!

I feel it from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks to Director's power!

Concerning the blast furnace construction, how overjoyed we are...

you can see that the glitter in their eyes are different!

No...

without all of you, this company wouldn't have reached this stage.

Surrounded by good friends like you,

I am really happy..

And the next is...

about the fund for the blast furnace construction of Hanshin Tokushu Seiko....

Director Ogame...

This is a financing request from the core of Manpyo Conglomerate.

The fact has become clear that Teikoku Seitetsu, fearing the high technology of Hanshin Tokushu Seiko,

has purposely delayed the supply of pig iron.

If we build a blast furnace,

without doubt we will marvellously achieve far greater sale results.

If there is no objection, I would like to proceed with the agreement to finance the project.

- Director Ogame. - Yes.

There is no need for you to treat this matter favorably just because he is my son.

Huh?

At a time when either we eat or get eaten,

to finance 50% of the blast furnace construction, or 10 billions yen, is a serious blow.

About this, I think you absolutely agree, don't you?

So..

...are you saying that you reject the financing of your son?

I want the other Board Members to command similarly.

The Financial Restructuring is a war among banks.

If we do not use any possible means to fight,

Hanshin Bank won't be able to survive.

I transfered the call to Director's room.

Thank you.

Teppei-Sama, this is Ogame.

I'll pass the phone to the President now.

He is on the line.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

We have decided to fund the blast furnace construction.

Thank you.

However, it can't be as your wish.

What do you mean?

I reduced the 50% funding by 10%.

Reduced by 10%??

Then how do you want us to obtain the remaining 2 billions yen?

My bank also has certain situation preventing us from allowing it.

As Hanshin Bank, I intend to give you good faith...

For the remaining deficit, collect it by yourself, okay?

But if the main bank reduced the fund,

the other banks' feeling of worry will spread around...

there's also fear that they might withdraw their fund!

You can just tell them that I gave you 50% as requested, can't you?

Are you saying that I should deceive other banks?

Are those words which you can say to the President of the main bank who gives you 8 billions yen fund?

The first thing to say is to express gratitude, isn't it?

But Father..

It was you who said that "at work, don't use father-and-son sentiment", wasn't it?

So I only did as you asked.

Wait a minute...

Teppei-kun, is it true that the fund is reduced by 10%?

What does President Manpyo plan to do?

It's unavoidable.

At a time of financial system restructuring when competition among banks intensifies,

it must be a heavy burden for them to finance us.

That day,

when Father gave me that inordinary decision,

the fate...

of the people of the Manpyo family and me,

turned extremely awry.
