Chapter 544: Savior
"Everyone, we have carefully prepared gifts for you. Don't forget to take them when you leave. I'll leave the promotion of the VCD to you all."
After talking about the product, the little Japanese who was responsible for the lecture gave a big bow to the group of reporters below.
The group of reporters below were also packing their things, communicating with people they were familiar with, laughing and chatting as they took paper bags from the staff at the door and left.
In a corner to the side, Watching Watching Ajie, who still had some wounds on his face, said to the good big brother beside him, "Brother Yan, I'll go help clean up."
This kid had work in his eyes and knew how to be grateful in his heart. Unlike the cannon-fodder appearance in the original plot, with a fierce look, studying drug trafficking and murder, he was now focused on doing things, loving Jingzi, and yearning for a beautiful future life. Guiding people toward goodness was precisely the duty of the benevolent Wang Da.
The benevolent man waved his hand with a smile. "You just got out of the hospital, your body hasn't recovered yet. Just go and direct them; don't get tired. Go ahead."
Watching Watching Watching Ajie leave full of energy, Kitano Naoto, who was sitting on the other side, took a sip of tea, his words filled with emotion. "I know you've opened several companies, but I didn't expect you to actually research something."
He had come over very simply because he received news that Wang Yan had found a bunch of reporters and didn't know what Wang Yan was going to do, so he saw a scene that made his eyes pop out. To say that Wang Yan was engaged in yellow, gambling, and drugs, or doing real estate, finance, or entering the entertainment industry, etc., he wouldn't be surprised. Because these industries all had traces of gangsters in them. But to say that he was engaged in technology, research and development, and could produce results, this was a bit magical. After all, Wang Yan was just a gangster leader, and he came from a place like China, which seemed very backward now. How could he have such a brain?
"Do you think it's unrealistic for a gang leader to invest a large amount of capital in technology?"
"The contrast is too big."
"Here, the most important thing is to have money. I know you haven't given up yet, always wanting to find some evidence to put me in jail. You know something about me. I've been here for two months, and the Tongzhou Society has been established for more than a month. Have you seen me do anything illegal? Let alone any evidence." Wang Yan shook his head with a smile. "Kitano, do you think the VCD I developed can make money?"
"It can make a lot of money."
"Since that's the case, when that time comes, do you think even if I really found some evidence, you would have the ability to arrest me? Would your superiors agree?"
Kitano was silent, because this was too realistic. Wang Yan had capital, had influence, and naturally had contact with politicians. At that time, if it wasn't something particularly big, or if Wang Yan was looking for death himself, really no one could move him. Not to mention that he was just a low-level policeman who had been a policeman for more than ten years with no hope of promotion.
"Capitalism..."
"So there's not much time left for you, Kitano." Wang Yan shared a cigarette with him, lit it, took a puff, and blew a smoke ring. "When I have capital and develop into a financial group, you won't have any value. You have to be early."
Kitano sighed. "What do I have to do? And what can I get?"
"No, no, no, how could I ask you to do anything? I am a proper businessman. Kitano, it is you who should fulfill your duty as a policeman, protecting honest people like me who are engaged in the service industry, constantly facing tricky customers and the harassment of those lawless violent criminal groups, fulfilling your due obligations and responsibilities.
As for what you get, I think nothing is more likable than mastering greater power and living a better life. One is to realize your value, the other is to let you have no worries. These are naturally what you should get when you fulfill your obligations and responsibilities as a policeman."
What Wang Yan meant was to let him do things, and then he would help him get promoted and give him money. But what he expressed was a urging of his duty as a policeman, which was flawless.
Kitano was speechless, because Wang Yan's words were too high-sounding, making bribery and accepting bribes sound so mission-oriented. Of course, he also admired Wang Yan's caution. After all, if such things were really said, it would always be evidence.
However, he actually felt okay. After all, he had been a policeman for more than ten years. If he really wanted to take black money all these years, he would have taken it long ago, and if he wanted to get promoted, he would have been promoted long ago. But why didn't he do that? Because in the past, Japanese gangsters didn't learn what it meant to be low-key, just like the chaos in Tokyo before.
But Wang Yan was different. The only incident he knew of where Wang Yan was involved in causing a death was the one at Daji Bar before. He had investigated it in detail. Overnight, twenty people disappeared, and he still had no evidence. Of course, this didn't mean Feng Kun did things cleanly; it was just that it happened too fast. By the time the news spread, it was already two days later. It was only when Feng Kun reported Gao Hong's disappearance that the police noticed. And by that time, everyone had been physically eliminated, and the tools of the crime had been concentrated and destroyed. They had no clues and couldn't launch an investigation.
Later, Wang Yan started various companies. Although there were still some gray industries, those industries were not illegal here, let alone illegal. Even if they were illegal, they were not within the jurisdiction of his police department, which belonged to the criminal police.
As for those companies, let alone, security, wine industry, and now there were high-tech companies, and even technological inventions. Coupled with the fact that he had intentionally managed some government relations over the past period of time, Wang Yan now, although still holding the position of consultant for the Tongzhou Society, had actually detached himself from the category of gangsters in terms of identity. He, a small policeman, really couldn't handle him. Wang Yan could even study him, making his already non-existent future even grayer.
Kitano let out a long breath. "Is it settled then?"
"It's not settled, it's to be done." Wang Yan shook his head. "I'll have people inquire recently to see if there are any drug dealers, and then make contact. If there is any news, I'll tell you. This is what can get you promoted."
"You're not trying to participate through my hands, are you?"
"The VCD will be in the newspaper tomorrow. As time goes by, there will definitely be an impact, and it will definitely replace tape recorders. I am a person who is easily satisfied. As long as I can make money steadily and accumulate slowly, I will never seek death myself. So you can rest assured, I won't do such risky things, just helping you get promoted."
"I hope so." Kitano nodded noncommittally and turned to ask, "The dispute between the Watagawa-gumi and the Eguchi-gumi of the Sanhe Society before, which led to the chaos in Tokyo for the past month, was all done by you, right?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I received news that at noon on the day Eguchi Toshinari was ambushed, Watagawa Kyōhei met with you. Not long after, Tie Tou went to Eguchi Toshinari's company. After that, Eguchi Toshinari went to the hospital to find Nakajima Hiroshi. Just after he left, Watagawa Kyōhei met with Nakajima Hiroshi. That night, Eguchi Toshinari was ambushed. And the key to all this is that Watagawa went to see you, and you sent Tie Tou to find Eguchi. I really can't think of any other reason for your role in this besides instigation."
"You're right." Wang Yan smiled. "However, knowing these things has no meaning. It does have some impact on Tokyo citizens, but it was only for two days. Although they are still fighting each other now, the life and death of those people have nothing to do with you. Kitano, what you need to think about now is who can dominate your promotion and appointment, and how much credit is needed to get promoted, instead of worrying about the life and death of those criminals."
In fact, whether he accepted Kitano or not, it didn't matter to him. Because his capital accumulation had reached a certain level, many things came naturally, and the level was higher, and the value was greater. After all, Kitano was already in his thirties. Engaging in an official career naturally depends on age and seniority. The future room for promotion was actually not very large.
It was just because Kitano's attitude toward the Chinese was not bad, not very arrogant, and he didn't have to pay much, so it was just a casual move.
Without chatting with Kitano, Wang Yan waved his hand. "Alright, that's all. If there's anything, I'll have Tie Tou contact you. That's it. I have things to do, so I'll go first."
After speaking, Wang Yan stood up and left, found the management staff, held a meeting with them, and arranged what to do next. He advertised in the newspaper and wrote down a phone number for reservations. Of course, the effect of the newspaper was definitely not as good as television. After all, television advertising was much more intuitive, but he didn't have extra money to spend on television advertising now. He had to wait to see the reservation situation before investing appropriately. So he made a very simple promotion decision: take the TV, VCD, and the previously recorded discs to the street to play, so that everyone passing by could see.
As for other things, naturally, it was the factory side. Because Japan's industrial level was good and the place was small, any equipment could be purchased. Of course, it was very simple to assemble a production line. This was why his production line was built so quickly. Of course, there was only one, which was enough to open the situation. After that, just take a loan and do it.
Of course, for the more profitable disc aspect, he also had to have some arrangements. If nothing else, the people who filmed at the loan company had already recorded a lot. In addition, for some copyright matters, he was also arranging. Genuine, pirated, proper, improper, of course, it was impossible to grasp everything, but to have a place, these all belonged to picking up money.
After giving instructions, leaving Watching Watching Ajie here to do odd jobs, Wang Yan left in the car driven by Xiao Dai, whose driving skills were already quite proficient.
Watching Watching Ajie had been in Japan for several years. Although his life was still in the Chinese circle and his Japanese was not fluent, and there were some problems with communication, he could understand the meaning by speaking and gesturing. And there were some overseas Chinese employees in this company, so there was no problem with work. Wang Yan wanted to cultivate Watching Watching Ajie in the direction of management. As for how far he could manage, that was Watching Watching Ajie's own business. With a career to look forward to and a hot Jingzi in love, it was a good life no matter what...
Soon, Wang Yan and Xiao Dai arrived at the entrance of Daji Bar.
It was daytime, not the time for the bar to be open. But precisely because of this, this time truly belonged to the gangsters, because at night, this place belonged to the consumers, the gods.
At the entrance of the bar, the two guards respectfully called him big brother, and then one opened a door each. Wang Yan nodded to them in a friendly manner, then took Xiao Dai inside.
There were already many people in the bar. Tie Tou, Feng Kun, and other management personnel were all here. In addition, there were a few little Japanese standing cautiously in the corner. Just in terms of numbers, they were at a disadvantage. Another point was that there were acquaintances here who had experienced that sudden night.
Seeing Wang Yan come in, a group of people smoking and drinking stood up consciously and called him Brother Yan. Wang Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to press it in the void. "Sit down, continue drinking."
After speaking, he went to a booth in the innermost part and sat down, looking at the haggard man opposite him with a smile, who no longer had the high spirits he had before. "Eguchi, long time no see. You look like you're not doing well."
Eguchi Toshinari's appearance was really not good. Although he was still in a suit and tie with his hair slicked back, his face was pale, even showing bone, looking like he was about to die at any time, miserable.
"President Wang is joking. You should know my situation." Eguchi Toshinari smiled bitterly and shook his head, speaking weakly. The slash he received and the shot he took hadn't healed yet. Having today's encounter, although it had a major relationship with the ambitious Watagawa-gumi, it also had a secondary relationship with the guy in front of him. Many things were because of this damn thing.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said, "I know. When you reminded me before, in Chinese, it was that you wanted the snipe and the clam to fight so the fisherman could profit. I and the Watagawa-gumi were the snipe and the clam, and you wanted to be the fisherman. Congratulations, President Wang, you succeeded. It's time for you, the fisherman, to harvest. Time is precious, so I'll say it directly. Solve four people: Muranishi Kōichi, Watagawa Tarō, Watagawa Kyōhei, and Nakajima Hiroshi. Whatever conditions you have, just say them."
Wang Yan shook his head. "Your situation now is not good, because of Nakajima Hiroshi's betrayal, you lost the ability to fight back in the battle with the Watagawa-gumi and can only struggle to support it. Your Chairman Muranishi Kōichi seems to have already made an agreement with the Watagawa-gumi. Plus the harassment of organizations like the Yamaguchi-gumi, you have been able to support it until now, which is already very amazing. However, Eguchi, you have to know that you no longer have the qualifications to set conditions."
The situation was just like that. Eguchi Toshinari was already at the end of his rope. If he didn't kill his opponent, he should die. But if he knocked down his opponent, he could stand up again and completely control the entire Sanhe Society. Eguchi Toshinari was at his wit's end and thought of Wang Yan's group of Chinese. They were more powerful. At least from the Daji Bar incident before, it could be seen that their actions were more meticulous, their combat effectiveness was stronger, and their confidentiality was better. They were far stronger than the other group of people from Fujian he found. Even submachine guns were used, and it was two people, but they still couldn't kill Watagawa Tarō.
Eguchi Toshinari believed that the only one with the ability and certainty now was the Tongzhou Society... ===== CHAPTER 545 =====
