Volume 3 Summer Rain Chapter 0297 A Gun
"Nagao-kun, your ginger beer."
Sayuri Hagiwara held a tray and placed it in front of Nan Yi. On the tray was a bottle of beer, a glass, dried squid, cheese sticks, and kaki no tane [persimmon seeds, which actually have nothing to do with persimmons, a kind of senbei that looks like a persimmon seed].
"Giving me so many snacks, other customers will be dissatisfied if they see it."
"Haha, I don't mind. Snacks are not free gifts. They are all paid for." Hagiwara Sayuri smiled and said, "But I won't accept money from Nagao-kun."
"Then you'll lose money."
Nan Yi patted the back of Sayuri Hagiwara's hand that was placed on the bar, and then squeezed it. Sayuri Hagiwara did not take it as an offense, and playfully turned her palm over and squeezed Nan Yi's hand as well, and with her other hand she picked up the beer bottle and poured beer for Nan Yi.
"Nagao-kun, please."
"Thanks."
Nan Yi thanked him, picked up the beer glass and drank the beer in it. He had just walked in Kabukicho for a long time and his mouth was a little dry.
Putting down the cup, Sayuri Hagiwara immediately poured Nan Yi more wine.
"Lily-chan, do you want to take a few days off and have a vacation?"
"Nagao-kun is going on vacation?"
"Not really. I'm going on a business trip in the next few days. I'm going to several counties around Tokyo and the beach. I'm going to stay there for a few days while the weather isn't completely cold yet. If Lily is willing to go, I'll call you when I get to the beach and you can come and meet me. How about that?"
"Of course I do." Sayuri Hagiwara agreed with a smile: "I haven't been to the beach for three years. I also need to buy two swimsuits."
Nan Yi waved his hand and asked Hagiwara Sayuri to come closer, and whispered in her ear: "Bring a few more kimonos. I like white and black, the kind that widows wear."
After hearing what Nan Yi said, Sayuri Hagiwara's face turned red. She patted Nan Yi's chest with her slender hand and said in a cryptic way, "Baga."
Nan Yi chuckled and picked up the wine glass again.
At this time, in Bangkok, Lu State, inside the Xie's manor, Xie Xiaofei, the Xie's talented genius, was reporting a situation to Xie Zhengda, the head of the Xie family.
"Dad, there is a WM Fruit Company in Bodhgaya. It is developing rapidly and is acquiring orchards everywhere, especially in Chonburi Province. They have acquired 400 square kilometers of mountain land, of which nearly 270 acres are orchards. The rest of the land seems to have been planted with fruit trees."
"WM Fruit Industry? Domestic or foreign?"
Xie Zhengda is just 45 years old this year. He is well maintained and is in his prime. He works until very late every day. It is just after ten o'clock now and it is not time for him to rest yet.
"I checked and found that the company was registered in Bodhgaya, and the owner and president was Rama Phubitphong. But this Rama Phubitphong was born in an ordinary Chinese family, studied very well, went to study in France, and then worked for Louis Dreyfus for ten years.
Last July, I returned to Lu State and registered WM after a period of silence. But I have investigated his background and he should not be able to afford so much money to annex the land. "
“Is it just a front-end figure, with Louis Dreyfus standing behind him?”
"I haven't found it, so I'm not sure." Xie Xiaofei said.
"Then investigate it carefully. Agriculture is the foundation of our Xie family. I don't want to see another company developing under our noses without us knowing anything about it."
"Okay, Dad. I'll have someone investigate this thoroughly before we go back to Shencun."
"Go out, I still have some documents to review." Xie Zhengda nodded and waved his hand.
Lu State is one of the largest exporters of rice and fruits in the world. Wangmu Fruit Industry is based on Lu State's development, and the Xie family has been deeply engaged in the agricultural field of Lu State. It is only a matter of time before the Nan family and the Xie family will confront each other.
Obviously, at this moment, Nan Yi didn't know that Wangmu Fruit Industry had already caught the attention of the Xie family. However, he knew very well that sooner or later, once Wangmu Fruit Industry began to merge, it would be impossible to keep a low profile.
Over in Kabukicho, Kuroki Kai has already taken on the role of a guide, standing on the street looking for his prey.
He was very satisfied with the organization's arrangement for him. The job was not dangerous, and it provided him with extra income. He could also be said to be surrounded by women, which made him very happy both physically and mentally.
At this moment, a few quarrels heard not far away attracted Kuroki Kai's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw two foreigners arguing with their hands and feet under the sign of a roadside brothel.
"Damn it, I should have realized your idea was bullshit, Jerry. We should have just stayed in the hotel and waited for students who wanted to earn some money to buy bags to knock on the door."
"No, no, no, Tom, you have to know that this is the most famous red-light district in Asia. We can have better fun here . I just didn't expect that there is no English on the signs here. This is really shit."
Hearing this, Hei Mu Kai's heart couldn't help but move, and then he strode towards Xu Tianmu.
"Old Xu, when Bao Xu was discussing cooperation with you just now, he mentioned to you that our main goal is to develop European and American tourists, but I think you don't quite believe it.
If you don't believe this, you will definitely worry that we will steal your customers after we join. To dispel your doubts, I will prove it to you now.
Seeing that the two foreigners didn’t have any, we made them our first customers after the cooperation. ”
After saying that, Kuroki Kai walked straight towards the two foreigners, no, Chinese people.
Kai Kuroki grew up in San Francisco and heard American English from a young age. In addition, he later worked in the San Francisco Police Department's Special Squad for several years, so it was easy for him to recognize the accent.
The San Francisco Police Department has a special team that is responsible for combating organized crime among Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asians in Chinatown. Kuroki Kai was previously responsible for combating two Japanese gang organizations. He speaks fluent Japanese and is very knowledgeable about Japan.
This is also the reason why he was sent to Tokyo after being recruited by Ghost.
Of course, Hei Mu Kai is not his real name. It is a code name given by Nan Yi out of bad taste. It may not be long before names like Shura King Yiping, Heavenly King Qiao Jia, and Dragon King Liangma will pop up.
"Oh, God, look at these two lost lambs, look at the confused expressions on their faces." Kuroki Kai walked up to the two of them, and in order to quickly attract their attention, he deliberately used an exaggerated way, like a stage play performance, and said: "Hey, you two poor little ones who are lost outside a woman's skirt.
I think you need a prophet to guide you to the wonderful Garden of Eden, where there are the best tequila, the most high shows, and of course all kinds of hot and charming chicks..."
Two Chinese guys who were planning to come here for fun were now struggling to hold their English-Japanese dictionaries and look at the roadside signs. Their brains were almost broken by the weird Japanese.
Suddenly, I heard such a familiar and friendly San Francisco accent. I didn't care about the sarcasm in Kuroki Kai's words, and rushed to his side as if I saw a savior.
The tall blond man held his hand and hesitated for a moment, perhaps because he was confused by Kuroki Kai's Asian appearance, but soon he shouted happily: "Hey, man, your appearance is simply a miracle, a real miracle.
Do you know how incredible it is to hear a standard San Francisco accent like yours in this country where everyone can only speak weird English? "He paused, then asked curiously, "Are you Japanese or of Japanese descent?"
Kuroki Kai smiled and shook his hand, then quickly pulled his hand away and shook his head, "Ha, I'm from San Francisco, and I live on Bush Street. Kuroki Kai, you can call me Kai."
"Hi, Kai, Smith, Jerry Smith, you can call me Jerry." The tall blond man introduced himself, then pointed to the brown-haired man next to him and said, "This is my colleague Tom Garson, you can call him Tom."
Hei Mukai nodded to Tom as a greeting.
"Kai, you just said you could take us to the Garden of Eden, where there are the hottest girls. Is that true?" Jerry asked hurriedly right after the greetings.
Hei Mukai stretched out his hands and hugged the two men's shoulders, leading them to Xu Tianmu, "Of course it's true, my companions and I are the best tour guides here, no matter what you ask for, we can satisfy you.
You don’t know that many shops here don’t accept foreigners, but it’s different if we take you there. You can go wherever you want.”
The place where he had just talked with the two foreigners was not far from Xu Tianmu. Xu Tianmu and Bao Xu heard their conversation very clearly.
Xu Tianmu admired Kuroki Kai's English level very much. Although he had only studied English for half a year and his learning progress was very fast, his English teacher was a Japanese.
Everyone knows that the Japanese-style English spoken by Japanese can only be understood by other Japanese. He also received two white people, but they were simply talking in a different language.
…
Coming out of Luluna, where the air was stuffy and polluted and the music was deafening, and breathing the cool air with the scent of powder on the streets of Kabukicho at midnight, Xu Tianmu suddenly felt as relaxed and comfortable as if he had been washed with ice water. The huge stone that had been weighing on his heart had disappeared.
Previously in Luluna, Kuroki Kai had been so comfortable and at ease when dealing with the two foreigners that he felt really good. This had opened his eyes, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire and envy him.
What surprised him even more was that Kuroki Kai just made a few crude jokes with the two foreigners, told a few dirty jokes, and taught them a few daily Japanese phrases, but the two foreigners actually treated him as one of their own.
The two foreigners left all the money-handling tasks to Kuroki Kai, including ordering drinks, calling girls, and exchanging 1,000 yen for tips. They were only responsible for taking out the money. Finally, when Kuroki Kai left after leaving his [Xu Tianmu] business card, the two foreigners hugged him and said goodbye reluctantly.
Xu Tianmu secretly paid attention to it. It took only half an hour from the time they entered to the time they came out. Not only did Kuroki Kai let the two foreigners spend nearly 90,000 yen in Luluna, but he also took a $100 tip from them when they left.
According to the agreement between Xu Tianmu and Luluna, he can get a kickback of 25,000 yen for the 90,000 yen consumption.
In other words, according to the condition that the kickback income would be split in half by both parties as Bao Xu had said before, in just half an hour, Kuroki Kai not only earned nearly 30,000 yen himself, but also brought him an income of 10,000 yen.
The only thing he had to do was to provide information about a store and lead the way.
Kuroki Kai's performance just now, including his English proficiency and his proficiency in dealing with foreigners, not only made Xu Tianmu completely relieved about the cooperation between the two parties, but also made him feel inexplicably excited.
He vaguely felt that the man in front of him might be able to take his career in Kabukicho to a higher level.
Xu Tianmu has been working in this area of only 0.35 square kilometers for half a year and is familiar with the situation in Kabukicho. The nature of his job also gives him a very deep understanding of Japan's sex industry.
According to his observation, European and American tourists account for about 10% of the tourists in Kabukicho every day. Among these people, except for those who are accompanied by interpreters or know a little Japanese, they can find fun easily;
For the rest, most people can only take a cursory tour and get a glimpse of the charm of Asia's largest red-light district from the signs hanging on the roadside.
This is because there is an unwritten rule in Japan's sex industry that many stores refuse to receive foreign guests, especially white tourists.
This is not out of nationalism, but because they cannot handle their own business and there is no need to entertain foreigners, as they may not earn much and may even cause trouble.
Although Japan's sex industry is very developed, the vast majority of practitioners are still people at the bottom of society with very limited cultural attainments, and very few of them know any foreign language other than Japanese.
Even in high-end clubs in Ginza where membership fees can easily reach millions, public relations staff who can communicate fluently with foreigners in English are rare.
Due to language barriers, foreign guests, service ladies, and store owners cannot communicate effectively, and the possibility of conflicts between them is very high.
Once a conflict arises, the police will inevitably be called in because foreigners are involved. As for sex shops, no matter how formal they are, they are very reluctant to deal with the police, let alone those shops that sell fake goods under the guise of selling fake goods.
In fact, Bao Xu's talk of attracting European and American customers was just an excuse, and it was not practical at the moment. Besides, Nan Yi didn't want to know the secrets of European and American pleasure seekers. After Heimu Kai gained a firm foothold, he would definitely compete with Xu Tianmu for customers.
However, Xu Tianmu will definitely not be kicked out. There is still a distinction between the primary and the secondary. It’s not like they really come to Kabukicho to grab territory.
