Maki Iwasaki's search for Kishimoto must have been deliberated a lot. On the one hand, she needs the nod of the other party to get TV Tokyo to carry out a necessary publicity, and on the other hand, it comes from the pachinko industry in Japan throughout Japan behind him.

The pachinko industry is a gray area of Japanese society. People outside the circle are difficult to be trusted and accepted by people in the circle.

Above, you can hook up with the police, etc., and below, you can secretly communicate with all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes. This industry not only exists physically, but also an important existence that cannot be ignored.

The Iwasaki family has been rich for three generations and has the right to speak in the Japanese financial community. In the economic sphere, the Mitsubishi Group is Japan's second-largest chaebol.

On the surface, you can't let your hands get dirty. However, in the dark, it is a different matter.

(The recent trade dispute between South Korea and Japan was the case with the Mitsubishi Group over postwar workers' compensation issues.) There is a famous movie in South Korea called "Warship Island", which is a microcosm of the crimes committed by the Mitsubishi Group at that time.

In order to maximize and squeeze profits as quickly as possible, the labor is completely treated as a non-human being. This also shows how strong the Japanese semiconductor industry is. South Korea's semiconductors are not weak in the world.

Japan has only restricted South Korea's three important semiconductor materials, which has made South Korea an ant on the hot pot and is in a hurry, which directly causes exports to drop sharply and increase unemployment.

Lee Jae-yong, chairman of the Samsung Group, also bypassed the South Korean government and went to Japan to personally talk to the Japanese chaebol of related companies about this matter. How powerful is the chaebol? Not only can it influence the government's decision-making, but it can also ignore the government. ）

After all, Iwasaki Maki is a member of the Iwasaki family, and some things are really inconvenient to come forward directly, so you have to let someone else do it for you.

The Japanese pachinko, also known as a pachinko gambling machine, also falls under the category of the gambling industry. The world thinks that the world's largest gambling industry is either Las Vegas in the United States or Macau in China.

In fact, they couldn't be more wrong. The pachinko market in Japan alone is 23.3 trillion yen. Macau's gaming industry is only 3.5 trillion yen, which means that Japan is more than six times that of Macau, China, in this less glamorous industry.

As for Las Vegas in the United States, it is only 1.3 trillion yen. It is followed by Singapore in fourth place. The market size of Singapore's gambling industry is 580 billion yen.

In Japan, gambling is not only marbles, but also horse racing, bicycle racing, boat racing, and racing cars. Horse racing, bicycle racing, boat racing, and racing cars in Japan are all run by local governments, and revenues are also collected into local finances. This shows its importance. This is an important source of revenue that even local governments in Japan cannot ignore.

There are more than 10,000 pachinko shops in Japan. This is another aspect that is valued by Iwasaki Maki because of its large number of stores. Not only that, but there is also a large flow of people.

The people who can walk into a pachinko shop and gamble are definitely adults, which means they all have the right to vote.

Posting a picture of a politician inside or outside a pachinko store is bound to have considerable appeal. No matter how bad it is, it can be mixed with a familiar eye.

It's like Shi Yuzhu's most successful marketing of the online game "Journey". In addition to the game posters in Internet cafes of all sizes, the public toilets of all sizes are also posted with the propaganda "psoriasis" about "Journey".

This is not even letting go of peeing and squatting pits, thus achieving an unprecedented amazing propaganda effect. Without the existence of the majority of free players, he would not have brought him those RMB players who recharged millions of soft girl coins and more than 10 million soft girl coins.

The world-renowned Japanese animation industry accounts for only 0.3% of Japan's GDP. Pachinko alone accounts for 4.7% of Japan's GDP.

60% of the world's gambling machines are concentrated in Japan. There is one for every 28 people, compared to one for every 46 people in Macau, China.

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 4.8% of the population in Japan (8.8% of men and 1.8% of women) is about 5.36 million, much higher than the 1% in other countries.

Japan's current law also prohibits gambling, which is completely a lie-of-the-self by telling nonsense with your eyes open. There is a word in Japanese called "天下り", which can be translated as "nether or lower earth", which means that government officials retire and go to work in enterprises, and officials and businessmen collude and collude.

This issue has been discussed many times in "Xiang Bang", which is a perennial high-scoring popular Japanese drama. According to a survey conducted at the beginning of the 21st century, a total of 194 retired police officers went to work in related companies, so naturally there will be no policies that are unfavorable to the industry.

"Did you mean it, or did your father mean it?" said Kishimoto, trying to figure out who was behind it.

"Is there a difference?" asked Iwasaki with a slight smile.

"If it is your father's will, I will be regarded as taking orders, or it can be said to be a return gift. At the beginning, the Hard Gold Group was able to successfully win the old city reconstruction project in Roppongi, and it was thanks to the help of your Iwasaki family.

If you will, we not only have a friendship in it, but also a partnership. Kishimoto said bluntly.

"It's not my father's intention, it's all mine. There are many children in the Iwasaki family, but I'm not the only one. I'm a daughter, so naturally I can't inherit the position of the head of the Iwasaki family.

If the head of the family is not the head of the family, I don't value it. The only thing I value is how much I can control. Maki Iwasaki stretched out his right palm and said seriously.

Seeing that she was reluctant, Kishimoto Masayoshi said unambiguously: "Everything under my hard gold group is willing to help you." ”

"Not only do I want the help of your hard gold group, but also the support of the entire pachinko industry behind you for this matter. Maki Iwasaki said bluntly.

"Pachinko is a profession that doesn't listen to me. Even the president of the Pachinko All Japan Association is not able to fully command.

There are also various intertwined relationships that involve some political groups, violent groups and interest groups.

In one sense, the pachinko industry is a loose alliance with factions within it. They are in response to a famous Chinese saying, gather for profit.

If there are no benefits on the premise that will make them happy, they will not do it. "Kishimoto hit the nail on the head.

"That's why I said I needed your help in the first place. "Maki Iwasaki believes that as long as he comes forward in person, he will definitely have the positive effect he wants.

Masayoshi Kishimoto stretched out his right hand and picked up the wine glass on the table with Wuliangye poured on it, and raised his glass to Maki Iwasaki, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
