Kazuki Yamamoto was roaring, and his anger was not without reason. Because for the Yamaguchi-gumi, now they really need a group of fresh blood to expand the organization.

According to the latest internal survey of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the average age of their current members is as high as 50.8 years old. And this is not just a problem of the Yamaguchi-gumi, but also a problem of the entire Toyo underworld, and the aging of the organizational population is almost irreversible.

The members who are now in their fifties are already considered young in the Yamaguchi-gumi.

There is no way to do this, and Toyo has a very special experience, that is, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, Toyo experienced a prosperous bubble era that is extremely rare even if you look at human history. In those days, as long as you were willing to work, you could basically make money, and you could make a fortune if you worked hard.

Taxis are never metered, and they are asking for prices. People stood on the side of the road, waving 10,000 yuan bills and hailing taxis.

It was a prosperous time, and almost everyone was rich. And that era also nurtured the very characteristic Oriental yakuza.

It was an era when gangsters could make a lot of money while they were standing. The Yamaguchi-gumi controlled almost all the crane machines, ball machines, and video game stores in the metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kobe.

Gambling ball machines aside, arcade machine shops and claw machines alone can bring huge profits to the Yamaguchi-gumi. These consoles cost 100 yen to play at a time.

At the end of the eighties, the most popular arcade game was the famous Street Fighter. Just by putting such a device in a video game store, you can earn nearly 20,000 yen a day.

What's even more terrifying is the crane machine industry, those crane machines can easily harvest 100,000 yen a day, which is just like child's play.

Ordinary employees working at financial companies in Ginza receive 4 million yen a year just for transportation subsidies, and middle-level executives receive 32 million yen a year for transportation allowances. In Nomura Securities, there is a transportation subsidy of hundreds of millions of yen for middle and high-level cadres a year.

One night in 1988, a mid-level corporate executive in Shinjuku threw 1 million yen to solicit a taxi and send him back to his residence in Roppongi. Nowadays, when Shinjuku goes to Roppongi, it is difficult for a taxi meter to exceed 10,000 yen anyway.

An ordinary social gathering that can't be done in an ordinary small company, and the afterglow is a lottery with numbers. A small real estate agency with only 20 employees was able to give 2 million yen as the jackpot for this entertainment show.

Shinjuku's Kabukicho is full of office workers squandering large sums of money. Spending millions of yen a night is as common as buying a bottle of Coke on the side of the road.

High-end restaurants are always overcrowded, and young men and women shopping in luxury stores are smiling.

It was a country and era that no one believes when it is said today, and even thinks it is absurd and ridiculous, as if it were a fantasy.

At that time, yakuza such as the Yamaguchi-gumi began to expand rapidly.

They control those underground industries, whether it is dancing, Shinjuku's custom industry, or all kinds of video games, bars, KTVs, etc.

At that time, the Orientals were rich, so the Yamaguchi-gumi were able to make money quickly through these industries. The number of Yamaguchi-gumi's personnel also rapidly expanded to 23,000 at its peak.

You must know that the gang members at that time were almost out of production, they were not engaged in production work, but only governed the shops within the so-called territory and collected protection money. The main job left is to fight with rival gangs.

Being able to support 23,000 yakuza members who are completely out of production and do not produce value, you can imagine how strong the Yamaguchi-gumi's financial resources were at the beginning.

It was a time of stunningly prosperous times. At that time, Yamaguchi-gumi was also involved in the real estate industry of Toyo, because it was an industry that everyone thought would only open and not fall.

However, there is always a time when the bubble bursts, and the brighter the bubble, the more painful it is when it bursts.

In the early 90s, Toyo was already showing the precursors of a bubble bursting, but it was still struggling to maintain its fundamentals. And by the mid-nineties, this basic market could not be maintained. To add insult to injury, the financial crisis of '97 swept across the Orient.

Toyo real estate has already plummeted, and housing prices in Tokyo are close to halving. The stock market plummeted by 40,000 points.

A large number of enterprises have closed down, and employees have lost their jobs in large numbers.

In this case, Toyo's entertainment industry has also suffered a heavy blow.

The video game store, which was originally overcrowded, is out of business, and Kabukicho doesn't have so many high rollers.

The number of Yamaguchi-gumi's personnel has been shrinking from 23,000 at its peak. Just like the layoffs of large corporations, the mafia will also be laid off.

Over the past 20 years, the Yamaguchi-gumi has laid off more than 10,000 employees. A large number of sub-branches were cut.

Many veterans who have served the community for more than ten or even twenty years have been laid off.

In this regard, Yamamoto Kazuki even issued a sincere letter of request for understanding to his subordinates.

[In today's era when everyone has to wait for the supermarket to discount the bento after half past eight to eat a bento, in this era when a bento only sells for 200 yen, and in this era when saving money is paramount, no marriage and no child.

In today's era when you go to Kabukicho to play, you have to use coupons to buy the price. In today's era when everyone would rather hide at home and play NS than go out to socialize with real people.

I'm sorry, guys. The organization is having a hard time. All of us are thrifty, and our industry is declining step by step. Thanks to the efforts you have made for the company over the years, the company will not forget.

There is no feast in the world. Wangjun is running towards a new future. 】

One such letter fires those old employees, who says that the underworld will not be unemployed?

Of course, there will also be unwilling old employees who are not convinced. These old gangsters banded together, found a lawyer, and then took the Yamaguchi-gumi Kobe headquarters to court. The lawsuit is demanding that the Yamaguchi-gumi compensate them for their dismissal without cause after so many years of service.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and in the end, Yamamoto Kazuki had to come forward to calm the anger of these old gangs, and each of them paid a symbolic loss of more than one million yen, which was regarded as a settlement fee. That's what keeps the momentum going.

But laying off the old gang is only a temporary method, and if the Yamaguchi-gumi wants to continue to develop, then new blood is needed.

In modern society, it is not enough to just fight and kill. The organizational industry needs to be upgraded.

However, Yamamoto Kazuki also knew that it was difficult to recruit new people, so he suppressed his anger and asked instead, "How happened to Sato who was sent to Nagoya on a mission last time?"

Sato, the screaming Sato of the rivers and lakes, is one of the Yamaguchi-gumi's ace killers in Nagoya. Although he is not an ability awakener, the most important thing in the killer profession is to be fast and ruthless, and he is already good at hiding himself. As long as these conditions can be met, it doesn't matter if you kill with a gun or with an ability.

When the chief of staff heard Mihonkazuki's question, his cold sweat flowed down even more: "That...... That ......"

"Bastard!

"That, Sato's shooting mission was not well completed. ”

"How is that possible! Are you stupid?!Sato is our best killer in Nagoya. It's just killing a real estate boss, how can you miss?!"

"Chief...... Sato is sixty-two years old......" The chief of staff cautiously reminded Mibon Kazuki: "And that real estate boss has a bodyguard of the Awakened by his side." Sato was hit by an old man on a motorbike during the shooting, causing the muzzle of the gun to deflect and miss the target. At present, Sato has been arrested by the police......"

"Damn! Damn! That's the devil crying Sato! If he was thirty years younger, how could he be caught!" Yamamoto Kazuki angrily hammered the ground.

"Is it so hard for us to recruit new people?!"

The chief of staff looked up at the boss, and he whispered, "It's difficult, the original club rules." To enter the club, you have to shave your head and get a tattoo. But now young people are generally afraid of pain, so we have eliminated the hard and fast rule of tattoos. And a lot of boys don't want to cut off the long hair they've had for years, so we don't have to shave their heads now. ”

The company even distributes suits to new recruits. But most people come up and show that they absolutely do not participate in any gang fire, and absolutely do not want to engage in any illegal and criminal activities. And the company is required to include these in the terms of the contract. They even demanded that N+1 compensation for resignation be included. And they also asked the company not to interfere with their love for two-dimensional cute things, and asked the company to allow them to stick their two-dimensional wives on the car, computer, and clothing. ”

"Last time, we from the Tokyo branch went to negotiate with the Rokkakumi. Because he couldn't find a car temporarily, he asked a newly recruited member to use his car to pull people. As a result, his car was plastered with the revelation of Guan Yu of "One Ride as a Thousand". ”

Yamamoto Kazuki heard this, and his head was big: "Do these people still have a little bit of Yamato's blood? !

"Don't be upset, Chief, the people of the Hexagon Group arrived in a car carrying an Asuka decal. We didn't lose in momentum. The chief of staff flattered.

"Get out!" Yamamoto Kazuki Hikaru blood pressure went up.

The chief of staff was kicked far away by him, but the chief of staff didn't get out yet.

"Didn't you get out?!"

"Well, there's one more thing to the chief. ”

"Say!"

"The godfather of the gang from South America, the man named Jang Keun Suk, has arrived in Kobe, and he is asking to meet. When do you think you're going to arrange it?"

"How many men did he take?"

"Dozens. ”

"All young people?"

"Well, they all look like sturdy men in their thirties. ”

Yamamoto Kazuki's cheeks jumped: "Damn! It's really hateful!"
