Chapter 178: A Man's Paradise
"The fat man took me around the streets of Kabukicho, and the menacing people ran away. For the first time, I realized the true meaning of the idiom fox fake tiger might. ”
Johnson poured wine for each other, which is definitely impossible to hear in the show, deeply understand his hardships, foreign countries, especially in island countries, it is difficult to survive alone.
"That was the first lesson I learned – the rules of the game, the hardships, the beatings, and even the kidnapping a few times. ”
"After a few years of crawling, whether it is the unspoken rules of the Jianghu society or the explicit rules of the mainstream society, I can play perfectly and play between the two with ease. ”
Li Xiaomu slowly straightened his waist and said confidently: "The second wife brought from China gave birth to a son, but it is not mine. ”
"I also betrayed my wife, found an island lover, and divorced without any suspense. He remarried his lover, then betrayed his wife, and remarried another lover......"
"The life of licking blood from the knife on the rivers and lakes makes me feel at risk of life at any time. Once, one of my fellow villagers, in order to divide the street profits in my hands, asked a Chinese gang to kidnap me, and the knife was forced on his neck. ”
"In order to survive, you have to be an actor every day, even if you have been kidnapped, you have to say hello to each other when you see each other afterwards. When you see people and talk about people, you will say things that women like, and to men you will say things that men like, and in front of thousands of people, you will say thousands of things. ”
"Climb up step by step, and once mixed with the wind and water. The most bull has a monthly income of up to one million and has dozens of subordinates. After 30 years of hard work, the Kabukicho insider has become my business card. ”
This is true, Johnson once checked the information, when Li Xiaomu was the most awesome, he was able to find a balance between the police, the local underworld, and the Chinese gangsters.
The underworld relies on him to make money, and the police need him to provide clues to solve the case, and even the media want to interview him if they want to know about Kabukicho.
No matter which person he deals with, he never does anything illegal, is proficient in various rules, and is good at dancing with long sleeves.
In the end, "Shinjuku Incident" starring Jackie Chan was based on Li Xiaomu, and even Jackie Chan said frankly: It would be impossible to make a movie without Li Xiaomu!
Raising his glass, he said sincerely: "I have never looked down on myself, and I am even proud of the insiders." If you die, even if you have a bone buried under any tree in Kabukicho, you will die without regrets. ”
"When I was only educated in the first year of junior high school, I even wrote a book called "The Insiders of Kabukicho", which was made into a movie of the same name the following year. All the media asked me to publish books, make plays, make movies, and even asked me to write a column in Newsweek, and I even wrote a column for a year in the Southern Metropolis Daily. ”
Johnson raised his glass and admired the other party, in the land of the island country, he was like an orphan. Born in a scholarly family, but he can't clean himself with a clear spring, and he lives in the flashy world, but he can steal peace.
In this place that everyone looks down on, you can magically find a place to survive and realize your self-worth.
Two faces at night and during the day, women and cigarettes on their fingertips at night, wandering between the lights and wine. During the day, he distilled his experiences into words and wrote about an alternative life.
Idol!
SC Johnson asked, "I heard you're running for district council?"
"The book is out, the money is also earned, and I believe that there is only one thing in life, so I decided to play a lot on the regular stage!"
Li Xiaomu's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "I started to participate in the parliamentary election in 2017, and I was only 300 votes short last year, and I made a comeback this year. ”
"It's a pity that ......" suddenly remembered something, and shook his head helplessly: "To be a parliamentarian, you must join the island nationality, so ......"
Johnson nodded, indicating that he understood, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. Looking through the so-called big-name stars in the entertainment industry, how many of them are Chinese nationals?
The last time I watched the show, he rode a bicycle every day, carried a megaphone on the street to publicize, as the first Chinese to obtain nationality and come out to run for parliament, he has enjoyed a certain popularity in China and Japan. Not only did the media pay attention to him, but the former leader of the Democratic Party personally recommended him to run.
"My goal was simple: when I became a member of the council, I made a formal proposal to raise the status of kabuki. If it can be passed, then continue to elect members of the national parliament, and then mix in the Sino-Japanese goodwill ambassadors, hehe......"
When he was full of wine and food, he directly pulled everyone and began to visit Kabukicho. Johnson followed him in a suit and leather shoes on the street, and the people passing by on both sides, no matter how arrogant and brutal they looked or how many tattoos they had on their bodies, would stop and bow to him to show respect, and Li Xiaomu also nodded in response with a smile.
Domineering!
Passing by the door of each store, there are many treasures, passing through an alley, pointing to the trash can inside and laughing: "When I used to pull customers here, I was beaten more than once!"
First go back to the small apartment he rented nearby to change clothes, because of the divorce, all the property was left to his wife and children, and he left the house by himself.
The only source of income is restaurants, and all of them are used to participate in elections, except for basic expenses. Looking at more than 30 square meters of various promotional materials, Johnson admired: "If you can, please let me support you!"
Li Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook Johnson's hand, and said enthusiastically: "With the support of local tyrants, I am shameless, let's talk count!"
Even Xia Long and Xia Hu couldn't help laughing, worthy of being a man of temperament.
may be in the eyes of many outsiders, Li Xiaomu is an extreme idealist. There is a unique character of Hunan people in his bones: he is brutal and patient.
The so-called tyranny is not to be overbearing, but to do one's best to surpass oneself and not give up until the goal is achieved.
The congenital conditions are harsh, and there will be heavy rains, floods, and mudslides if you don't agree with each other, which is obviously not suitable for agricultural cultivation. If the ancestors wanted to survive, they had to endure hardships and stand hard work and have the courage to struggle. Under the long screening of the natural environment, they are good at making revolutions, which are the result of the survival of the fittest.
Wash it up, change into a black suit, and go out again. SC Johnson found that there were not only many beautiful women dressed in cool clothes, but also many young men in ties, with very fashionable hairstyles and temperaments that were different from those of ordinary office workers.
"That's right, they're male PRs, and some stores will just post photos and make a ranking to see who's the most popular. ”
Li Xiaomu was in good spirits, as if he was back in the best state, and his whole body exuded confidence: "The custom shops here generally do not have a store name, they are all self-employed, and it is often impossible to see where there is service on the surface. There are really a lot of good ones hidden very deeply, and outsiders can't find them at all, unless a senior insider takes you there, so that you can experience what heaven is......"
