Chapter 641: What is loyalty worth?!

The straight-line distance from Kobe to Tokyo is more than 400 kilometers, but the driving route is naturally longer, expected to be more than 500 kilometers, and the driving time is expected to be five to six hours.

So early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama and the radiant Otomo Yoshimura embarked on the journey back to Tokyo, with Eitaro, who had recovered a bit of energy, in the back seat.

By the time they arrived in Tokyo, it was already afternoon~

"Otomo-san, don't go to the company today!" Naoki Nagayama said to Otomo Yoshimura, who had been taking turns driving along the way. "You're so old, you should take a good rest."

"What do you mean so old! Last night I was still chatting all night with a young lady at the club..."

Thinking that after going to the Kobe club with Naoki Nagayama, the two were the best of friends, Otomo Yoshimura was about to talk about his great achievements at the club last night...

"Stop, stop, stop!" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly made a gesture to shut up. "If you say that, people will think we did something scandalous!"

"Let's say it in advance, I just went to the club for a stroll, but I didn't find any young lady to chat with late at night!"

"You?!!"

Otomo Yoshimura only remembered that after he was dizzy from drinking last night, he grabbed a young lady and returned to the hotel. He really didn't know if Naoki Nagayama, who was next to him, had done it or not.

However, a young and vigorous man like Naoki Nagayama could actually hold back in that situation?

His gaze glanced at Naoki Nagayama's lower body, his face full of suspicion...

"Don't look around! Kono yaro! I am very healthy!!!" Naoki Nagayama pushed away the lewd gaze of the Mediterranean, and then said, "I just hate that kind of pure exchange of body fluids!"

Although the young lady at the club seemed very willing...

"Che... a young man of your age shouldn't be like a Teddy bear?" Otomo Yoshimura despised. "How come you are like an old man who has seen through the world, pursuing the exchange of spirit and flesh..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't want to continue talking about this topic with this guy. These guys would never understand the beautiful virtue of being dedicated!

"Anyway, if Otomo-san wants to go to the studio, just take a taxi~ I won't send you off... Shanying Yuan is almost here!"

"..."

Otomo Yoshimura was left on the side of the main road, with vehicles whizzing by, leaving only him alone... Looking back, what exactly did he do in these two days?

Spending nearly ten hours driving, just to take a stroll at Hibari Misora's residence, didn't say a few words to Hibari Misora, and then had a flower wine in Kobe, nothing else...

On the busy street, this middle-aged man felt a sense of emptiness...

At this time, Naoki Nagayama had already walked into Shanying Yuan... Eitaro, who was a bit withered, ran excitedly toward the sunbathing Miaotaro, very happy to be home.

And Naoki Nagayama collapsed on the sofa in the living room, letting the soft sofa cushion support his body.

After a long time, he saw the recording prompt on the phone next to him flashing...

"Moshi moshi, Naoki-san, this is Tamori... I have read the previous program proposal carefully and am very interested. I hope we can meet and discuss the next step of cooperation."

This was Tamori-san's message... it was left last night...

It looks like "Music Station" can start!

Then, the phone started playing the next message:

"Moshi moshi, this is the lonely Akina... Naoki-san hasn't come back yet... I can't sleep... What is Naoki-san doing in Kobe? Did you see Hibari Misora?... Also, did you remember to get the autograph?!"

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama was startled, but then thought that he could ask the Kobe Geino Agency for it... only then did he feel relieved.

"I haven't seen Naoki-san for a long time~ I really want to see you..."

The recording of the phone call was only one minute, so Akina's voice ended here, but the longing in the words did not stop, lingering in Naoki Nagayama's heart.

Because of the scandal, the two hadn't seen each other for almost a week, which was a long time since they confirmed their relationship~

"Decided! I'm going to raid Akina tonight!"

Naoki Nagayama was invigorated...

When he came to the Taoka residence again, Hayato Nagayama's brows were furrowed. He was thinking about what happened when the fourth-generation leader held the leader meeting last time.

"Will the fourth-generation leader really stick to his promise?"

Hayato Nagayama didn't expect the Yamaguchi-gumi to covet KTV so early. In the discussion between him and Naoki Nagayama before, at least after branches were opened in several big cities, the Yamaguchi-gumi, with its big business, might take a fancy to this business.

He didn't expect the greed of the direct-line leaders to be so strong, and there was also Sanban Xiaohong Misaka, the leader of the East Asia Association Chinese Group. It was his clamoring that made the revenue of KTV known to everyone...

The old man, who was over 70, silently pondered the countermeasures after arriving at the Taoka residence in his mind.

If it really doesn't work... give some of the revenue share to the headquarters? But the protection fees of other Yamaguchi-gumi branches must not be given!

"Leader, we're here." Shotei Shogo Hanada, who was temporarily acting as a driver, said.

"Oh, we're here~"

Hayato Nagayama tidied up his kimono and got out of the car with a cane. Even though he was old and weak, he could still see the shadow of his tall figure in the past. So it was obvious where the body types of Kumahara Nagayama and the next generation Kaede Nagayama and Aoki Nagayama came from~

With the bows of the disciples stationed at the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters, Hayato Nagayama went straight to the large Japanese-style room, where a dozen or so scattered leaders had already arrived.

"Leader Nagayama, we meet again~"

The annoying Sanban Xiaohong Misaka came over. He was actually wearing a floral shirt inside his suit, just like his person, with many floral intestines.

"Umm..."

Hayato Nagayama wanted to end the conversation with a modal particle, but Sanban Xiaohong Misaka was not so easy to dismiss.

"Leader Nagayama, please forgive me! I secretly went to the KTV in Roppongi before I came, and it was indeed full of guests!

This kind of silver spring that flows like water, letting your grandson scoop it with a basin, is really too enviable...

So, how can you let us stand on the shore? You say right!"

"..." Hayato Nagayama didn't want to pay attention to him.

"I believe Leader Takenaka will also understand our difficulties!" Sanban Xiaohong Misaka laughed proudly. "Other leaders also want a share of the pie!"

"... Then wait for the decision of the fourth-generation leader!"

Hayato Nagayama actually had a general understanding of this gathering. Those invited this time were all leaders who were more or less interested in KTV. It was obvious that the fourth-generation leader came for this matter.

After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest and ignored Sanban Xiaohong Misaka. And Sanban Xiaohong Misaka also felt bored and went to chat with other familiar leaders.

After everyone arrived, Masahisa Takenaka and Fumiko Taoka appeared together and sat in the main seat among a group of leaders.

Masahisa Takenaka, who came from a martial arts background, didn't play any tricks like playing hard to get or being hypocritical. After everyone looked over, he said directly:

"In the last gathering, I have already understood everyone's thoughts!"

"Regarding the KTV industry of the Nagayama group, every leader is interested..." Masahisa Takenaka's triangular eyes looked at the leaders one by one, looking very oppressive. "After all, who doesn't want a chicken that lays golden eggs!"

"However, the Nagayama group has already handed over a part of the share to the headquarters, and I have also promised Leader Hayato Nagayama that the Yamaguchi-gumi will not interfere in the operation of KTV. On the contrary, it will order Yamaguchi-gumi members to protect it.

After considering this period of time, I have made a decision on this matter!"

Hayato Nagayama looked at the fourth-generation leader with a calm face, even without prior consultation with him... If he really betrayed his promise at this time, it would show that this was just a fickle villain without the bearing of the fourth-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

The treatment on Hiroshi Yamamoto's side seemed pretty good!

"I have decided that the previous order remains unchanged!

Yamaguchi-gumi members are still not allowed to interfere in KTV! Cannot collect protection fees! And must still protect the KTV in their jurisdiction!!

This is my final decision, Masahisa Takenaka, the fourth-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

The smiles on the faces of Sanban Xiaohong Misaka and other leaders disappeared. He immediately looked at Hayato Nagayama, thinking that this old guy used some method to exchange for Masahisa Takenaka's support.

And at this time, although Hayato Nagayama's face was calm, the surprise in his eyes still showed that he didn't know about this decision either.

"But fourth-generation leader!" Sanban Xiaohong Misaka said unwillingly. "The benefits of KTV are indeed too great! If it opens in every city, it can almost support the membership fees of the entire Yamaguchi-gumi!"

"Do you want to lose the loyalty between Yamaguchi-gumi members because of making money?!" Masahisa Takenaka shouted. "This is the industry of the Nagayama group! You other groups also have your own industries, do you want to be taken away by your companions too?!"

I talk to you about benefits, and you talk to me about loyalty? What is loyalty worth?!

Sanban Xiaohong Misaka, who had stayed in Tokyo for a long time, only felt absurd!

"Leader Takenaka, do you want us all to not make money because of this?"

Masahisa Takenaka reprimanded righteously:

"Sanban Xiaohong Misaka! You can make other money, but KTV is the industry of the Nagayama group!! It is the industry of brothers, you cannot rob it!!!"

In this era, having money is the kingly way. Who cares about things like brotherly loyalty! Those are all old-fashioned things!

Sanban Xiaohong Misaka blurted out: "Leader Takenaka, you will regret making such an order!"

Masahisa Takenaka's small eyes flashed with fierce light:

"Sanban Xiaohong Misaka! I am the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

"..."

The cup ceremony was set. Hearing this, Sanban Xiaohong Misaka couldn't refute and could only push the door and leave angrily!

Masahisa Takenaka closed his eyes and didn't speak, and the other leaders below also started whispering.

At this time, Fumiko Taoka started to appease:

"Leaders, please don't be misled by Sanban Xiaohong Misaka's words. Do you think KTV is just lying down and making money?

The technical difficulty of the KTV industry is not great. Except for our Yamaguchi-gumi, I believe that various financial groups have also noticed it, as well as large and small capital."

"Think about it, when dance halls appeared, didn't they also spring up like mushrooms after rain!"

"The competitive pressure of Nagayama group KTV will not be small. They will have competitors in every city... That's why they specifically requested the fourth-generation leader to give the protection of the Yamaguchi-gumi..."

"You guys, don't do this kind of thing of competing for profit with your own brothers..."

As the high-status big sister of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Fumiko Taoka's words made the direct-line leaders present think seriously. This was not a particularly difficult situation to analyze, but the direct-line leaders had been blinded by the revenue before.

After a burst of agreement, the direct-line leaders no longer had the previous impulse and gradually quieted down.

So Masahisa Takenaka, who had been closing his eyes and not speaking, spoke again:

"Since everyone knows, then let's disperse this meeting!"

After saying that, he was the first to withdraw from the large Japanese-style room, still not saying anything to Hayato Nagayama.

After all, it was the Taoka residence, and Fumiko Taoka still had to send off the guests, so she stayed behind to say goodbye to the people she knew.

Hayato Nagayama, who was sitting upright, only felt that the development of the story today was very confusing. He had already made the worst plan and was ready to lean toward the fourth-generation leader's competitor, Hiroshi Yamamoto...

"This development is really... unexpected!"

Hayato Nagayama stood up. He didn't have much friendship with Fumiko Taoka, so he nodded and prepared to say goodbye.

When he led the original Shimizu family to join the Yamaguchi-gumi, he was already the head of the Shimizu family. Putting on the name of the Yamaguchi-gumi was just forced by the pressure of the Yamaguchi-gumi, so it was originally a branch with strong autonomy.

However, when he walked to the door, he could still feel the greedy eyes of some leaders... Even with competitors, KTV was still profitable!

These guys still hadn't given up... In this case, the expansion of KTV in other cities would be hindered!

These people were leaders. Not to mention anything else, as long as they turned a blind eye to other Yakuza coming to KTV to provoke, it would cause very serious consequences.

Hayato Nagayama hesitated for a moment and then took out the countermeasure he had thought of before. This was a countermeasure that combined the difficulties and solutions that Naoki Nagayama had analyzed before about the development of the KTV industry.

He turned around and leaned heavily on his cane, attracting the attention of others in the Japanese-style room:

"Leaders... actually, the business model of KTV is very simple... Karaoke equipment can also be used in dance halls, discos, bars, etc..."

"Leader Takenaka's order is not to allow the Yamaguchi-gumi to interfere in the operation of KTV... So, why do you have to stare at KTV and not let go?"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the leaders in the Japanese-style room looking at each other.

"What does this old man mean?" a leader asked.

"God-like." "Business model... isn't it just customers paying to sing!" "What does it mean to stare at KTV and not let go?"

One of the leaders said hesitantly: "If you install karaoke equipment in a game hall, then it doesn't count as KTV, right?"

"Then it should be called a karaoke hall!"

A leader said...

Hearing this, the eyes of the leaders began to shine. We can not operate KTV, we can operate a karaoke hall!

Then they looked at Fumiko Taoka, wanting to get a positive answer.

"Big Sister Taoka, is what Hayato Nagayama said true? Does Leader Takenaka's order not include karaoke halls?"

Fumiko Taoka thought about it and nodded:

"This... yes!"

"Hahaha, then I understand! Thank you, Big Sister!""Goodbye, Big Sister!"

Hayato Nagayama, who got back in the car, sighed. This was a plan that would only be taken out when KTV expanded to major cities in Japan.

Let the Yamaguchi-gumi people also become a similar ecology in this industrial chain.

However, in addition to the music experience of karaoke machines, the core advantage of KTV is private social interaction, high-quality service, and the habits formed by customers, etc.

For these, Naoki Nagayama said that he was absolutely leading this era by decades!

And after the leaders of the Taoka residence left, Fumiko Taoka also told Masahisa Takenaka what happened.

"What an old fox!" Masahisa Takenaka's evaluation of Hayato Nagayama had never changed.

"Yeah, but his pressure is indeed much smaller... Now only Sanban Xiaohong Misaka is left~" Fumiko Taoka said.

Masahisa Takenaka's mind flashed the picture of Sanban Xiaohong Misaka leaving angrily, and murderous intent began to flash in his eyes.

"That guy! He would never dare to be so presumptuous in front of the third-generation leader!"

He knew this was the reason for his lack of prestige.

Fumiko Taoka comforted: "After the succession ceremony is officially completed, it will be fine!"

"Humph! After the succession ceremony is completed, I will make Sanban Xiaohong Misaka look good!" ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
