Chapter 8: Hatoo Yamada
Driving on the streets of Tokyo, the first feeling of rushing to the face is prosperity, the second is rush, the city of Tokyo is expensive, housing prices remain high, more than 10 million people live here, rushing to work and getting off work every day, drinking sake to express their depression and resentment, or hiding in their own nests watching anime and Ivy, busy living their lives.
The word "tokyo" can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, although it is also dark eyes and yellow skin, but the temperament of Japanese and Chinese watches is easy to spot, which is determined by culture and living habits.
Tokyo, Sony Headquarters Building.
Hideo Fukuda sat in the office and wiped a handful on the back of the female secretary's hand without a trace, and then opened the paper.
"Sure enough, it seems that you are quite confident."
What is written on the article is the official announcement announced on the official website of Unisplendour Software, President Li Ziyu led the negotiation team, has flown to Tokyo, Japan, and will participate in the upcoming 23rd Tokyo Animation Film and Television Game Production Industry Exchange Conference while conducting business negotiations with Nintendo.
This conference is well-known in Tokyo and has a good reputation in the industry, and almost all famous industry studios and companies will make their mark at this conference.
After the acquisition was rejected by Unisplendour Software, Hideo Fukuda was not surprised, but lightly launched the second plan, and at this industry exchange meeting, he had a deeper contact with Unisplendour Software.
"Nintendo, you've found a good customer, well, Nintendo plans to officially invest in the CG film industry......" Hideo Fukuda knocked on the corner of the table, thinking about the next countermeasures in his mind: "Nintendo's investment this time is obviously not a small number, such a big cake, you can't let Ziguang alone swallow it." ”
Hideo Fukuda looked at the pot of gentleman's orchid on the table, but there was a hint of guessing on his face.
"I'm Hideo Fukuda. It's never been a gentleman's orchid......"
……
It's about 15 minutes from Haneda Airport to the hotel, and before that, Zixia had already booked a five-star hotel in the Shibuya district.
The Sony Building is located not far northwest of Haneda Airport, and as they pass by the road, Zhang Yang and Zixia both see the Gundam office building and glance at each other.
This time in Tokyo, Sony will inevitably take action.
The taxi driver speaks English, although always with an eerie Japanese accent. Communication is not a problem, and you can see all kinds of pedestrians along the way through the streets of Tokyo.
It's not like the otaku YY, the streets are full of sailor suits and short skirts and beautiful girls, in fact, most of the women look very ordinary. Of course, there are many who can be called beauties, but because of the population base problem. This is a lot bigger.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon. Almost in the hottest part of the day, there were still people walking on the road, and the taxi was air-conditioned, but they were not attacked by the heat, so they arrived at the hotel smoothly.
"We booked the room in advance."
"Please show your ID."
Zixia took out her passport and ID card, and after comparison, the other party handed the two of them the corresponding room cards. Zhang Yang and Zixia did not live in the same room, after all, this time it was not a private trip, but with a negotiation team, and the direct exposure of the relationship between the two seemed too abrupt. Therefore, it is divided into two rooms, which are directly opposite.
"Your two rooms are on the 6th floor, and there's an elevator on the left."
The room is on the 6th floor, after taking the elevator up, Zhang Yang casually threw his luggage into the house, then washed his face with cold water, forced himself to calm down as quickly as possible, and analyzed the possibility that the person was Liu Yu.
After arriving at the airport, Zhang Yang released another scarab beetle and came to the intersection where he met the girl before, the previous scarab beetle Xiao Hei had already followed the car and left, until they entered a certain villa, with its small size, the scarab beetle lightly touched the villa, and the electronic door of the Gundam could not stop its footsteps.
A somewhat thin middle-aged man, probably in his fifties, was kneeling on a tatami mat, enjoying the freshly brewed tea, seeing the black cage brought in by the two, and the crested ibis shivering inside, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, but nodded with satisfaction.
"Good job, take them to the backyard first, someone will take care of them, now the entire Tokyo Police Agency is searching the whole city, you hide with me for a few days, wait until the limelight is over, and then take another way to send things out."
"Yes, boss."
The two men are very respectful, they are brothers, they were international mercenaries who retired from the battlefield, and then they were pulled under his command by Yamada, who is his right-hand man, and has been following the followers to deal with all kinds of things that need to be eliminated.
For these crimes alone, if Yamada had not protected them, they would have been caught red-handed by Interpol or the Japanese police, who had already targeted them, and then killed by a bullet, or spent the rest of their lives in prison.
"Go, don't go out these days, just cultivate your mind, you will see the hell if you walk too much at night, and you will plant it if you kill too many people, Junzi's tea ceremony is still good, you are blessed."
"Miss is back?"
When the two heard Junko, a smile appeared on their faces.
Junko is the biological daughter of their boss Yamada, Yamada once had a son, but he was shot by the underworld in the early years, so at this time only this daughter remained, and the two almost watched Junko grow from a little Lori to a big girl, and they had already regarded Junko as their own child.
It is precisely because of this that Yamada will always be in his heart for the two of them, the fate of the two sides has been closely linked, belonging to grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens to one party, the other party will not be far away.
"Yes, Junko just came back from the UK a few days ago, and she has been studying for two years, and she always thinks about me as an old man, so she comes back to see me."
Hatoo Yamada had a smile on his face, because of his identity as a smuggler, his first wife died tragically, and the second wife was sick in bed, and finally died, leaving behind a pair of children, and the son was shot to death by the underworld, leaving only this daughter.
The huge industry accumulated over the years has given Yamada Hatoo the idea of washing his hands in a golden basin, his identity has long been whitewashed, although he is a very famous smuggling predator, but this was ten years ago, and now he is a retired old man, and most of the smuggling is handed over to the two brothers to do, so he diverts the attention of the police and Interpol.
The profits from smuggling are amazing, not to mention that Hatoo Yamada has been working for so many years, and the way he has saved up business operations has gradually been whitewashed, and now his bright identity is the chairman of the Tokyo lvest group, usually hidden behind the scenes, watched by professionals, and the company's shares are in his hands, and when Junko graduates from Oxford University MBA, he will officially take over the position of president of the company.
On the surface, Yamada is also the honorary vice president of the Tokyo Calligraphy Association, the permanent president of the Tea Ceremony Society, the owner of the Yamada Racecourse in Tokyo, and even has the status of a high-ranking honorary citizen of Tokyo.
No one would have thought that such a retired old man, who had various identities on the surface, was one of the biggest cultural relics smugglers in Japan in private.
Originally, three years ago, Hatoo Yamada had been ready to wash his hands and hardly engage in smuggling, but this time a buyer from Arabia, a descendant of the imperial family, indicated that he wanted to buy a crested ibis of Japanese origin and bring it back to his garden to enjoy.
The price offered by the other party is extremely amazing, an adult crested ibis is three million US dollars, if it is a pair of prices can also be increased, and it is paid in cash, although the young are young, but there is the possibility of leaving breeding, the price is also high, the huge profit makes Yamada Hatoo tempted, and took over this business.
Others may not know the whereabouts of the crested ibis, which is native to Japan, but Yamada is well aware that he heard the news from a high-ranking government official, and the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, and Yamada then used his connections to find out about the crested ibis.
Coincidentally, because of the Iron Man incident some time ago, the former prime minister stepped down, and the new Japanese prime minister, in order to divert the attention of the people, recently planned to welcome the crested ibis back from China, expand breeding, and hype it in Japan, but met Yamada Hatoo.
With a mere $100,000 to buy off the co-pilot of the plane transporting the crested ibis, as well as a flight attendant, plus some advanced signal jammers, a number of pistols and ammunition, and a helicopter worth more than $100,000 in total, the total cost was less than $500,000, and the crested ibis plundering operation was easily completed.
A pair of adult crested ibises, a pair of juvenile crested ibises, and coincidentally they are both male and female, the crown prince of Arabia, directly offered a high price of 20 million, which made Yamada Hatoo smile from ear to ear, 500,000 in exchange for 20 million, a full 40 times the profit, is there a more cost-effective business than this.
For the rich crown prince, $20 million is not a small amount of money, but it is not a lot of money, but it is just a business to sell a few more barrels of oil.
Just as Marx said in "Capital", 50% of the profit can make businessmen take risks, 100% of the profit can make people trample on the law, 300% of the profit can make people commit a qiē crime, and 40 times the profit is enough to make Yamada Hatoo tempted.
It's just that a black inconspicuous beetle is lying on the ceiling silently, quietly watching this qiē. (To be continued......)
