HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 543: What can you say if you have no money?

Faced with such a cruel reality, Shigeo Nishiguchi completely disagreed with this so-called conference that would shake up the underworld of the island nation.

I came to participate simply because we are fellow practitioners and I couldn't refuse.

Don’t underestimate the Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, and Inagawa-kai. The combination of the three is indeed an invincible gang on the island country, but that also depends on who the opponent is.

When facing Lin Zehao, their so-called strengths will be completely ineffective.

If you act like a bully to others, they will use their money to hit you.

You can't win when you compete with others for funds.

When you finally decide to take an unconventional approach and use violence to fight to the death, you discover that others are much more violent than you.

Then let me ask you.

How to fight against such an opponent?
It’s not that they are incompetent, it’s just that they can’t compete in any aspect!
"Xiguchi-kun, your thoughts are a bit pessimistic."

"Wouldn't that help boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?"

"Once our three major gangs form an alliance, we will have many times more resources than Hutchison Whampoa in terms of numbers alone."

"I have the advantage, how can I lose?"

As a second-generation underworld figure, Yuhiro Inagawa was able to rise to power smoothly with the care of his parents, so naturally he is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Although he knew that Lin Zehao was strong, he only thought that he was stronger.

Confidence belongs to young people.

Zhai Jiansheng couldn't stand this kind of young success, and immediately snorted coldly: "Inagawa-kun, it is definitely a good thing for young people to be confident, but if they are too confident, the comedy may turn into a tragedy."

"But who is Lin Zehao?"

"That was ten years ago, when the Shenghe Weilong caused a big stir in Hong Kong!"

“Not to mention you, even if your father Inagawa Seijiro was still alive, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant in front of Lin Zehao!”

Zhai Jiansheng climbed up step by step from the bottom of the society, and the hardships he went through cannot be summarized in just a few words.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't stand people like Yuhiro Inagawa who had everything easily because of his good birth.

In Zhai Jiansheng's opinion, Yuhiro Inagawa is just a second-generation rich man with no ability.

All big talk, no real ability at all.

"idiot!"

"How dare you insult my father!"

Yuhiro Inagawa stood up suddenly, his expression full of anger!
The two front teeth that originally looked funny now looked a little hideous.

"Hey, we are all family. We gathered here because we have a strong enemy to deal with. Why should we fight against each other?"

"Even if we take a step back and say that we are from the same country, we should still stand united in the face of foreign invasion."

"Alas, so many heroes of the Great Japanese Empire died on a battlefield in a foreign country. Now they can only be transformed into gods and worshipped by us, the later generations, at the Yasukuni Shrine."

Watanabe Yoshinori stepped forward to persuade the two of them, then changed the topic and began to divert the conflict, forcing everyone to form a united front with the feelings of the country and the nation.

At this time, anyone who dares to stand up and refute, or say something unpleasant to the ear, is a Japanese traitor and is unpatriotic!

Shigeo Nishiguchi was fully aware of this, and although he didn't want to admit it, he didn't dare to stand up and oppose it.

After all, no one can bear such a big accusation and would simply cut themselves off from the world.

"We should learn from the heroic ancestors at the Yasukuni Shrine and unite together to resist the Chinese invasion."

Upon hearing this, Takumi Masaru and Inagawa Yuhiro looked at each other. Although neither of them was convinced, they still gave face to Watanabe Yoshinori and did not say anything.

This so-called militarism seems to have completely disappeared with the defeat in World War II.

In fact, this kind of speech is still very popular among these violent groups.

Because, before doing something, it is basic to package your starting point to sound more noble.

For example, making money is not called making money, but called XXXX.

"Watanabe-kun, we are not children anymore, let alone the lower-class people who would believe such nonsense."

"It is absolutely impossible to unite with just a few mouths, a few words, and the so-called pie."

"If we want an alliance, I'm not against it, but we need practical benefits."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to convince others."

Although Shigeo Nishiguchi did not come out to sabotage the show in a big way, he still took the opportunity to do something shady.

In his opinion, the future development path of these violent groups in the island country should learn from Lin Zehao.

There is no future at all in simply fighting and killing.

Wearing samurai clothes, carrying a samurai sword, having an ugly bun, wearing wooden clogs, robbing people on the road and collecting protection fees is an old-fashioned method.

Starting a company, doing business, making a lot of money, and having your own power is the most correct choice!

Watanabe Yoshinori directly asked, "Nishiguchi, can what you just said represent the Sumiyoshi-kai?"

Nishiguchi Shigeo slowly unbuttoned his suit, revealing the white shirt underneath, and said firmly, "Of course."

"Since the organization sent me to attend this meeting, it naturally gave me enough power."

"What I meant just now is what the Sumiyoshi-kai meant."

Shigeo Nishiguchi and the Sumiyoshi-kai had little interaction with Hayashi Zehao, let alone any friendship.

The reason for doing this is ultimately because of interests.

They see no benefit in forming an alliance with these people to deal with He Shenghe, and all they see are unpredictable risks.

To be honest, Hutchison has been developing its business in the island country for some time.

Although there were some conflicts of interest with local violent groups during this period, they were all stopped in time and there was no intention to kill them all.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Hutchison’s development path is not the traditional one of grabbing territory and collecting protection fees.

They first spend money to buy the ownership of the land where you are, and then send security personnel to deter the situation.

It’s best if no one causes trouble, but if someone does, they will bear the consequences themselves.

In this way, they are on private territory, legally defending their own rights and interests, which is completely in line with legal doctrine.

Traditional associations look after the property and collect protection fees. In fact, the property owner is not the association but the boss behind the scenes.

Why did the Yamaguchi-gumi take the initiative to request to hold an alliance meeting this time? Wasn’t it because some time ago, Hutchison directly spent money to buy an important piece of territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi?

This is equivalent to cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, without even giving the opponent a chance to fight.

Not convinced?

If you have the guts, lead your men to fight back. Hutchison's security personnel are all armed with a shotgun, and will shoot anyone who dares to cause trouble.

One side was armed with samurai swords and various cold weapons, and risked trespassing into the territory.

The other party is well-rested and armed with hot weapons, so it is not illegal to kill you.

If you were a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, would you go and die?
"Very good. With you in charge in the future, Sumiyoshi will surely develop better and better."

Watanabe Yoshizawa said something meaningful, and then winked at Takumi Katsu, who stepped forward and took over the conversation, "In this day and age, interests are the driving force, and what Nishiguchi-kun said is understandable."

"After all, even if we the bosses don't take it, our subordinates will take it." "I can throw out some ideas for this alliance. If you have anything to add, just ask."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhai Jiansheng continued: "First, let's talk about the strategic arrangements."

"The three parties form an offensive and defensive alliance. No matter which party is attacked, the other two parties must provide timely support and advance and retreat together."

"Secondly, we should open up all business channels, such as the Yamaguchi-gumi's fan channel, the Sumiyoshi-kai's smuggling channel, the Inagawa-kai's underground casino channel, etc. We should integrate them appropriately so that everyone can make money together."

"In this way, we will be able to completely crush the island forces of He Shenghe in terms of military force. From a business perspective, we will also be able to add more sources of income, and our strength will definitely gradually increase."

"The three families help each other in attack and defense, and they are absolutely invincible!"

In response to Zhai Jiansheng's remarks, no one said a word.

Nowadays, no one is a fool. Everyone is the kind of person who won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit.

Although Hutchison's expansion momentum is strong now, it has not caused any substantial losses to the Sumiyoshi-kai and the Inagawa-kai. The main victim is the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Although it is not known whether Hutchison did this intentionally, the fact is that they are not very interested in forming an alliance or even taking the initiative.

After all, judging from the current situation, Hutchison is not their enemy.

Based on these seeming interests alone, they have no reason to form an alliance.

“Is this also called a condition?”

"This is a complete equal exchange. We didn't gain any advantage at all."

"What Xiguchi-kun said just now is very true. Without sufficient benefits, even if we want to help, the brothers below will not agree."

Yuhiro Inagawa put down his wine glass and spoke while shaking his head.

These days, there are no real friends or allies.

Without sufficient benefits, relatives will become enemies!

What's more, what about the three violent gangs that are constantly fighting and conflicting with each other?
Although Shigeo Nishiguchi didn't say anything, the expression on his face said it all.

Obviously, he agreed with Yuhiro Inagawa's statement.

Looking at the scene in front of him and the expressions and behaviors of the crowd, Watanabe Yoshinori felt sad, scared and angry at the same time.

Fear is naturally Lin Zehao's superb method of boiling a frog in warm water, making it impossible for the island nation's underworld to cohere into a whole.

The anger comes from the short-sightedness of Yuhiro Inagawa and Shigeo Nishiguchi.

“Don’t think that you can just stand by and watch indifferently as long as the knife isn’t falling on your head.”

"Don't you understand the principle that the lips and teeth are cold?"

"As long as we, the Yamaguchi-gumi, fall, you will be next!"

Conspiracy.

It's just that scary sometimes.

You clearly know the other person's thoughts, purpose, and even methods.

But you can only watch helplessly as the expected things gradually happen.

The feeling of waiting for death to gradually approach is enough to suffocate any strong person.

"Watanabe-kun, we are all adults now. It is meaningless for you to say these things now."

"This matter is actually very simple. The alliance can do it, but it depends on what price you are willing to pay for it."

"Paying big promises and promoting nationalism have long ceased to work."

Shigeo Nishiguchi looked at everyone immersed in the joy of the party and felt that the place was becoming more and more chaotic. He had no intention of staying any longer.

"That's right. If you don't have money, you don't have to say anything. There's no need to say anything."

"This economic bubble has made us, the unsophisticated people who don't understand economics and finance, realize the importance of cash being king."

"No money, no deal."

Yuhiro Inagawa was very straightforward. Since the Inagawa-kai was currently in good business condition and could make money quietly, there was no need for them to get involved in the war with Kazukatsukazu.

The more chaotic the situation, the better the casino business.

Because formal means no longer work, many people want to achieve financial freedom and fulfill their dreams through unconventional means.

Casinos are not just casinos, almost all of them also have lending businesses.

This kind of loan naturally cannot have normal interest rates. The so-called head interest is considered by conscientious merchants. Most of them pay nine out of ten and return thirteen, and the interest is rolled over.

From this we can see how terrifying the money-making ability of the Sumiyoshi-kai, which mainly operates underground casino business, is.

"You want money?"

"Does the future of the island nation's martial arts world mean nothing to you?"

Faced with Watanabe Yoshinori's questioning, the two did not say anything, but their expressions were more or less disdainful.

"it is good!"

"Since you want to talk about money, let's talk about money!"

"As long as you form an alliance with the Yamaguchi-gumi, I will give you the channel to steal fans!"

Watanabe Yoshinori's words were like a huge rock thrown into calm water, instantly causing a huge uproar!

We are all in the business of making money, so don’t we understand how important distribution channels are?

It is no exaggeration to say that every channel of distribution is filled with colorful banknotes!
The Yamaguchi-gumi is famous for its fan base and it is unknown how much profit it makes every year. Its channels are definitely outstanding and can be called a treasure shining with golden light!
"Watanabe-kun, are you serious?"

Yuhiro Inagawa raised his eyebrows, and his two exposed big front teeth looked a little funny.

"Of course it is true."

"Could it be possible that what I, the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, personally promised was false?"

Watanabe Yoshinori gritted his teeth and looked like he was determined to give it his all.

In fact, how could he hand over the fan-building channel that the Yamaguchi-gumi relies on for survival to his competitors?

He has a hundred ways to keep his promises without causing any loss to the community.

Anyway, he can provide the channels, but whether the goods can be sold or not has nothing to do with him.

"it is good!"

"If Watanabe-kun can keep his promise, I agree to the alliance."

After dealing with Yuhiro Inagawa, the pressure fell on Shigeo Nishiguchi.

He had no choice but to agree.

"In this case, the alliance of the top three gangs in the island nation has officially been formed."

"To this end, I suggest that we raise our glasses and drink from them together to celebrate this historic moment!"

Watanabe Yoshinori's words were transmitted to everyone in the venue through the microphone.

The next moment, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

"I wish the alliance good luck and prosperity!"
