The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto went out after eating the breakfast that Rie Sakai had prepared and left. He stood on the side of the road and flagged down a taxi to visit the president of the Pachinko Taito District Branch.

At RB, all walks of life have their own guild organizations. The top is nationwide, followed by the regional Kanto (East RB), Kansai (West RB), Hokkaido region, Kyushu region, Shikoku region, and Okinawa region.

Finally, it is divided according to the districts within each city or metropolis. Masayoshi Kishimoto inherited Cheap Dad's career in Taito-ku, Tokyo, so it is only natural that he inherited his membership in this industry.

Among the 360 lines of RB, the pachinko room is a relatively special line, which has similarities with the customs industry, and can best reflect the desires in human nature.

At the same time, it brings with it some characteristics that are different from legitimate industries such as restaurants. Even if it is legal, it can also escape, but in addition to the special care of the police, the local gang forces will naturally be more or less involved.

After getting into a taxi and sitting in the back seat of the car, Masayoshi Kishimoto certainly understands that no matter how legal Huang and gambling in any country in the world are, there will be all kinds of intertwined and complex relationships behind it, and it is not something you can do if you want to.

Since he is determined to sell the pachinko he inherited from his cheap father, it means that he will quit this business completely.

This is essential to notify the relevant people in advance. From then on, he will completely draw a line with the gambling industry, and only do a legitimate investment industry that is bright and bright.

The taxi driver turned on the wireless radio in his car, and there was talk of the Asian financial crisis.

"I don't know when the Asian financial crisis will end, there are fewer and fewer people taking taxis, and business is becoming more and more difficult.

This damn taxi company has a lot of money. The taxi uncle couldn't help but sigh about the difficulty of the current situation.

Kishimoto didn't talk. But his heart is like a mirror, and the people who suffer the most in the financial turmoil are ordinary people like the taxi uncle.

As for the end, it won't be next year. The exchange rate of the yen fell from 115 yen to 1 dollar at the end of June 1997 to 133 yen to 1 dollar at the beginning of April 1998.

In May and June, the yen exchange rate fell all the way, at one point approaching the 150 yen to 1 dollar mark. With the sharp depreciation of the yen, the international financial situation has become more uncertain, and the Asian financial crisis continues to deepen.

The following year, in 1999, the Asian financial crisis will be completely ended. Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea are the hardest hit areas, while RB, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries and regions have also suffered a lot of losses.

Many people regard Soros as the culprit of this disaster, the person who deserves to go to hell after death, but Kishimoto doesn't think so.

Soros only discovered the problems accumulated in the process of economic development in these countries, and played the role of the last straw that broke the donkey's back.

Even if it's not Soros, there will be someone else who will carry out a harvest. At this time, the total amount of international travel funds has reached a huge 7 trillion US dollars.

Who are the good men and women behind these international tourists? Once they feel that it is profitable, they will inevitably make it bloody like locusts crossing the border.

One by one, they have made a lot of money, but they have reaped the fruits of decades of economic growth to their respective cysts.

All industries are withering, the economy is sluggish, and a large number of people are unemployed...... The people who suffer the most are still ordinary people at the bottom of society. Their lives are extremely seriously affected and adversely affected.

This kind of situation will never end, and it will change in a variety of ways, and it will come again and again after a while. Nor will the injured countries or people learn much from them.

As Hegel said, the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind has not learned any lessons from history.

Moreover, the economy of Southeast Asia is the economy of a client state. When they face international money, they are often like a little boy standing in the ring and facing a boxing champion.

When I arrived at the place, the taxi uncle stopped the car. Masayoshi Kishimoto paid the fare, got out of the car, and went straight to the pachinko room where the chairman of the Taito ward branch was located.

As soon as he walked through the door of the pachinko room, he heard a very noisy sound. In addition to this, the air is filled with the smell of cigarettes.

If you don't install an exhaust fan in the indoor air filled with a lot of nicotine, mosquitoes and flies will inevitably be smoked to death.

A male *** member took the initiative to step forward and smiled: "I'm sorry, it's full." ”

"I'm not here to play, I'm here to find your boss. "Kishimoto made his intentions clear.

The male *** member understood, raised his right hand and gestured in one direction: "That is our boss's office." ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto blurted out a "thank you", turned sideways, and took another step towards the place the other person was pointing. As soon as he knocked on the door and entered, he was greeted by a smiling face from the branch president.

"What kind of wind is this blowing you to me?" the branch president took the initiative to get up and walked around the desk, facing him to greet him.

"South-east-northwest wind. You're doing a good business!" Kishimoto politely said.

"So-so. The branch leader smiled and raised his right hand, and suddenly scratched his bald head.

As soon as the words fell, he took a can of coffee from the side and handed it to Kishimoto Masayoshi. Then, signal the other person to sit down and talk.

Masayoshi Kishimoto held the coffee in his hand, but did not open it. He sat down and said, "I'm going to resell my pachinko room." ”

The branch president was immediately surprised. He knows that not only his own business is good, but also the business of the entire industry.

While others are hoping that the financial crisis will pass soon, they, on the contrary, wish that the financial crisis would continue like this.

"You're not kidding me, are you?" said the branch president, who didn't believe it was true.

"No, I mean really. If you're interested, I'll sell it to you! Taito Ward has two major commercial streets, Ueno and Asakusa.

You're on Sensoji Temple, and I'm on Ueno Park. If you take my side together, Taito District will be yours.

From now on, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to Taito District to compete with you. At that time, your status in this industry will also be greatly improved. Kishimoto said calmly.
