Chapter 615: Sudden realization
I only heard Marin laugh as he walked forward:
"That's for sure, although Adachi Ward is not the busiest area in Tokyo, it is also a cosmopolitan city that is famous all over the world!"
At this time, Marin and his family passed by a stall selling dorayaki, and the seller was an old man in his fifties with gray hair. Dustβ β Literature β? Net
Smelling the rich aroma of the dorayaki, Marin couldn't help but stop, bought ten pieces of dorayaki from the old man, and then distributed them to Ah Jin and the other two, while laughing:
"Try it, this is Dongying's snack, it tastes good."
Ah Jin and the three of them took the dorayaki and tasted it, and immediately felt their eyes light up.
And Marin ate it with relish, and asked the old man:
"Uncle, business is okay."
The old man was evidently a talkative man, and since Marin was his guest, he smiled and said:
"It's not bad, it's enough for me to support my family."
"That's uncle, your dorayaki is authentic and delicious, and business will be good." Marin smiled.
But the old man shook his head and said:
"This is not necessarily, my craftsmanship of making dorayaki has remained unchanged for decades, but in the past, I worked hard for a month, which was not enough for our family's daily expenses."
Without waiting for Marin to speak, the old man continued:
"In the past, Adachi Ward was full of gangsters, gangs, and fights at both ends in three days, and there was a lot of chaos on the streets, and the protection money was heavy. There are also those policemen, if they don't catch thieves, they will bully us small citizens, not to mention eating for nothing, and they have to pay them a management fee every month, which is even more hateful than those gangsters. Most of the money I make in a month goes to these thugs and administrators. β
When Ah Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, thinking that Dongying people are really wonderful, although the income is high, in fact, the common people are not very good.
Seeing that Ma Lin and the others were quietly listening to what he was saying, the old man chatted and said with a smile:
"Originally, we didn't know how long this situation would last, until Inagawakai and Officer Nakamura came."
Hearing the old man's words, Ah Jin became curious and asked:
"Inagawa Society? It sounds like a club, too. β
"That's right, the Inagawa Society is indeed a gang." The old man said seriously:
"But Inagawa will be different from the other gangs, they never bully or oppress us small citizens, although they charge us protection money every month, but it is only symbolic. Do you know how much Inagawa will charge me every month for protection? That's the price of ten dorayaki. Moreover, after the Inagawa Society collects our protection money, it will really protect us, and if there is a fire or something, the people of the Inagawa Association will help, and the efficiency is better than that of firefighters. β
Ah Jin was very surprised when he heard this, this Daochuan would sound quite chivalrous.
Then I heard the old man say,
"And Officer Nakamura, in the past Adachi, the police were even more annoying than the gangsters, but since Officer Nakamura took charge of this area, the situation is much better, at least, those people will no longer come to collect security fees from us, and they will pay for food."
Speaking of this, the old man said proudly:
"It's just our district, because we have Inagawa and Officer Nakamura here, so our life is better, at least much more stable than other places. A relative of mine in Yokohama said that almost all of the money he worked hard for every month was handed over to the clubs and police over there, and I heard that it was Matsui's territory, hum! That Matsui is not as good as Aso of the Inagawa Society, and the whole thing is a bastard who does all kinds of evil! β
Marin smiled and said:
"It seems that you all like Inagawa and that Officer Nakamura."
"Of course." The old man laughed loudly:
"We neighbors, there is not a single one who doesn't like Inagawa and Nakamura. In the past, it would be a mess if a child from a family became a gangster, but now, if he joins the Inagawa Club, it will be different, and their family will have to invite a meal to celebrate, which is happier than being admitted to university. β
Ah Jin laughed:
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
The old man glared at Ah Jin:
"Do you think Inagawa will be so easy to get into? The people they choose are almost comparable to the university entrance examination, and once they enter the Inagawa Club, they can get a fixed salary every month, and the income is higher than those white-collar workers who sit in the office. β
"Do you still have a fixed salary as a member of the club?" This surprised Ah Jin.
Mao Ziguo's skinheads are world-famous, but they are all working in their own way, Ah Jin still knows those skinheads very well, in addition to the middle and high-level personnel can enjoy the money earned from various illegal activities, ordinary members, that is, as the saying goes, the little gangsters, but a kind of life of two poorer and four richer, income is extremely unstable.
Under normal circumstances, these gangsters have "work" to earn income, and because the people who join the gang have all kinds of religions, many people spend their money on eating, drinking, and having fun and other vices, and have no savings at all.
And now Ah Jin hears that the Inagawa Society actually pays a fixed salary to the members of the association every month, which subverts his understanding of the gang.
He said to Marin beside him:
"Miss Ma, you said that this Inagawa Club even pays its own members' salaries, why do I think they are more like a company."
Marin just smiled noncommittally, and listened to the old man in front of him tirelessly:
"There is another thing that we respect very much, that is, they never let their people harm the people, and they do not allow the members of the association to get poisoned. So, since the Inagawa Society came, all the addicts in our area have disappeared, and the security of the whole street has been much better. β
"This Inagawa meeting is quite principled." Ah Jin laughed.
He agrees with the rules of the Inagawa Society, after all, the benefits are too great, and the vast majority of associations will not let go of this opportunity to make money.
Thinking of this, Ah Jin couldn't help but glance at Marin beside him. According to what Marin said before, her goods will not be sold to the Dongying people and the Chinese, but will be sold to North America to harm the North Americans, which is similar to the Inagawa Society.
"Okay, thank you, uncle, for telling us so much." Marin laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's idle anyway, I'm just going to thank you for listening to my old man's ramblings."
Ma Lin nodded slightly, said "Let's go" to Ah Jin beside him, and continued to move forward.
Ah Jin also nodded to the old man as a gesture of kindness, and followed behind Marin with the other two.
"Miss Ma, what do you think this Daochuan will come from? It's not like a normal company. Ah Jin said next to Marin.
Marin looked at him with a smile and said:
"How is it not ordinary?"
Ah Jin touched his nose and said:
"It's influence, under normal circumstances, gangs are disgusted by the people, but this Inagawa Club is very popular with the people, and the residents here have a better impression of the Inagawa Club than the official face."
After a pause, he said:
"But this is Dongying, and the law allows organizations like the Inagawa Society to exist."
"yes, Dongying is a good place." Marin laughed.
At this moment, Ah Jin suddenly remembered that Ma Lin seemed to have mentioned to Lao Yang that she also had a company in Dongying, and she also had a grudge with Yoshikawakai.
And Marin's company, it seems to be called Inagawa Club, thinking of this, Ah Jin couldn't help but pat his forehead, and secretly said why is he so stupid?
When Ma Lin heard the old man's praise for Inagawa just now, the smile on his face clearly meant that his career had been recognized by others.
When Marin saw Ah Jin's reaction sideways, he guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile:
"You've already guessed it."
