Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 349: Invitation to the first flight, conspiracy on the horizon

It has been a few days since the four major awards, but Gui Yewu’s momentum has not stopped.

Everyone was eagerly discussing his "great achievements"!
This man truly swept the four major awards, which is unprecedented.

When the news that "The Princess Diaries" had broken the 10 billion U.S. dollar global box office reached China, it was like adding fuel to the fire, pushing Onino Takeshi's reputation to the peak!
Compared to the excitement outside, Gui Yewu himself did not feel too excited.

Sweeping the four major awards is indeed impressive, but after all, they are just awards and cannot be used to make a living.

For a "common man" like Takeshi Ono, the box office of "The Princess Diaries" is more attractive.

He had never expected that The Princess Diaries would achieve such a surprising success. This unexpected windfall made Gui Yewu excited for several days, and he wanted to chop down a few more planes with his knife...

But there are also many places where you need to spend money.

Now, Onino Film has expanded its business to a considerable size, covering almost all upstream and downstream industrial chains of film and television production.

The acquisition and establishment of cinema chains, the production of various peripheral products, the development of secondary markets such as videotapes and VCDs, etc.

Moreover, it is not only Takeshi Onino's movies that are currently being filmed and produced. Onino Eiga already has the ability to shoot multiple films and TV series at the same time.

In addition, the financial pressure on Dongdu TV and its US branch is still very great.

Of course, the real big money-maker is the Phantom phone.

Although the chip factory is built by the Suzuki Group, the capital investment in other areas is also not small, and money is required in various areas such as production, R&D, and channels.

So I guess this money won’t last long.

But money, once earned, is to be spent. Keeping it in your hands is just waste paper. Converting it into assets is the real long-term plan.

Gui Yewu was very clear about this.

So no matter how much pressure he was under, he never skimped on various investments.

This is also the reason why a series of industries such as Onino Eiga are developing better and better.

Closer to home.

Currently, Fujita Torara is in charge of the Nisan Association. Busujima Kiriko also seems to be relatively honest and has no bad intentions. She is very cooperative with Onino Takeshi's "recruitment", so he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

And Wakasa Rumi is relatively well-behaved for the time being and has not made any unusual moves, so Onino Takeshi decides to wait and see what happens.

The box office of "The Princess Diaries" is still growing at a gratifying rate. Industries such as Onino Eiga and Touto Television are also booming under the management of great talents such as Toru Amuro and Vermouth, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

For a moment, Gui Yewu seemed to be idle.

Just then, an invitation letter was delivered to him.

When Gui Yewu opened it, he found it was an invitation letter for the maiden voyage of a luxury cruise ship.

This large luxury cruise ship, named after the goddess of love and beauty "Aphrodite", belongs to the Eighth Generations Group and this is its maiden voyage.

The Yashiro Group is a large conglomerate whose main businesses include shipping, industry, and shipbuilding.

It certainly cannot be compared with the Suzuki Group, but it is also an old-established group that has barely stepped into the threshold of a second-rate group.

This time, the "Aphrodite" cruise ship is a key project built by the Eighth Generation Passenger Ship of the Eighth Generation Foundation, costing billions of yen.

Naturally, the Eighth Generation Foundation attached great importance to its maiden voyage, and specially invited celebrities from all walks of life to participate.

Including the former prime minister and his wife and many well-known figures in politics and business.

In addition, celebrities from the entertainment industry are naturally indispensable.

As the most popular famous director at present and also a powerful figure in the business world, Takeshi Ono was naturally among the invitees.

Even the invitation letter sent to him was written personally by Entaro Yashiro, the chairman of the Yashiro Group, highlighting the respect and importance he showed to Takeshi Onino.

Looking through this exquisite invitation letter, Gui Yewu's eyes flickered slightly, with a thoughtful gleam across them.

……

Yokosuka Port.

This is not only the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, but also one of Japan's most important seaports.

At this time, on the ocean not far from the first area where the US fleet was stationed, a huge white ship was lying in the waves of the Pacific Ocean, extremely conspicuous.

This is the large cruise ship "Aphrodite" that the Eighth Generation Foundation is preparing for its maiden voyage.

"Wow, this ship is really big!"

An exclaiming voice was heard.

"Really? It's similar to the one my dad gave me on my birthday last year!"

Mao Lilan turned her head speechlessly and looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was radiating the golden aura of a wealthy person.

We are still good friends even if we don’t pretend!

Of course, she also knew that the other party was not showing off. Over the years, she had become accustomed to Suzuki Sonoko using pretentious words from time to time to express her true thoughts.

Who can blame her for having the last name Suzuki?

The toys he had since childhood were all "Eggs of Memories" worth 800 million yen, so this cruise ship is really just a birthday present.

Suzuki Sonoko didn't realize that she had just said something pretentious; she was just stating the facts out of habit.

The Yashiro Group naturally would not fail to invite Shiro Suzuki to the maiden voyage of this cruise ship, but the Suzukis were unable to spare the time - and probably had no interest - so they sent Suzuki Sonoko as a representative.

The Eighth Generation Group did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with this.

Compared to the Suzuki Group, their Yashiro Group is just a small Karami. Whether they can be invited depends entirely on whether others give them face. Even if they don't, they dare not say anything.

He also had to flatter and warmly entertain Suzuki Sonoko.

It is worth mentioning that this time, Mao Lilan was not brought on board because of Suzuki Sonoko's relationship, but she received an invitation letter from the Yashiro Group herself.

During this period, Mao Lilan can be said to be the hottest female star in Japan. If the Yashiro Group wants to create momentum, it will naturally not forget her.

And a certain uncle also changed from taking advantage of his daughter's best friend to directly taking advantage of his daughter, and he felt much more justified.

Also because it was not Suzuki Sonoko who invited them, the three little ones did not come except Conan, and the Haibara Ai sisters had no interest in it.

Dr. Agasa also came, but he was only here because of his girlfriend.

——Fusae, who happened to be developing a relationship with Professor Agasa in Neon, also received an invitation.

Although he seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, Dr. Agasa did not feel uncomfortable.

He has changed a lot compared to his previous obscurity. When the Phantom phone is officially launched on the market, Dr. Agasa will surely become famous and a guest of honor for major conglomerates.

Therefore, he was more confident about dating Fusae. Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship yet, they get along as naturally as a couple.

Seeing that Professor Agasa's old tree has blossomed, the perennial singles now have hope of finding a way out of being single, and Conan, Ran Mouri, Takeshi Onino and others are all very relieved.

The group boarded the cruise ship.

Because of the presence of Suzuki Sonoko, they received a reception that was clearly beyond the standard.

In the evening, everyone was on board and the cruise ship left Yokosuka Port.

The outline of the land in the distance gradually disappeared.

On the deck, Ran Maori, who had changed into a light blue dress, rested her white arms on the railing, and the sea breeze blew her long hair.

Gazing at the blue sea and the setting sun in the distance, a hint of intoxication flashed in the girl's eyes.

“What a beautiful view…”

Conan, who was only able to reach the bottom of the railing, nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that's right."

"I really hope Shinichi can see such a beautiful sunset..."

Mao Lilan muttered to herself.

Although she was angry that Kudo Shinichi left without saying goodbye again, the girl still thought about him in her heart.

Conan was stunned, then fell silent.

But I said in my heart: I'm watching.

Suddenly, he felt his field of vision rising rapidly, and then he felt a familiar softness behind him.

It turned out that it was Mao Lilan who held him in her arms.

Turning back and looking at the face so close to him, Conan's face turned red.

This is the real beauty...

“It’s clearer from up there~”

Mao Lilan said with a smile, not knowing that the person in her arms was actually her boyfriend.

Conan quickly struggled "weakly": "Let me go, Sister Xiaolan..."

Mao Lilan lowered her head: "What's wrong, don't you like me hugging you?"

Conan immediately stopped struggling and said hesitantly, "No, no..."

Because he was busy with his announcements, he and Mao Lilan hadn't had such an intimate gesture for a long time, so he couldn't bear to leave.

Mao Lilan didn't know that the boy was insincere, so she hugged his little body and appreciated the beautiful scenery in front of them together.

But Conan's mind is not on the scenery at all.

"Ah! You little brat are acting like a spoiled brat to Xiaolan again~"

A voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

Conan glared at Suzuki Sonoko with his dead eyes.

It's you again, the gossipy bitch who ruins the mood...

Suzuki Sonoko walked closer, leaned forward to glance at Conan, and complained with her eyelids rolled up: "You little brat are really precocious, you even blushed. How about it, Xiaolan's arms are very comfortable~"

Mao Lilan was helpless: "Sonoko, what are you talking about..."

Conan's face flushed immediately after being teased, and he quickly explained: "What? It's because of the sunset!"

Mao Lilan was suddenly stunned.

Conan's words vaguely reminded her that Kudo Shinichi had once said the same thing.

I was suddenly in a trance.

"Shinichi, where on earth have you been..."

On the other side, Conan and Suzuki Sonoko did not notice the girl's abnormality and were still arguing with each other. Even so, Conan did not ask to get out of Mouri Ran's arms.

It was not until it was completely dark that the three returned to the cabin to prepare for dinner.

When passing by a place on the deck, Conan noticed a bald middle-aged man and a young woman standing together in the corner. Both of them looked a little excited and seemed to be arguing about something.

"That person is the chairman of the Fujiwara Group."

Suzuki Sonoko noticed Conan's eyes, followed his gaze, and immediately introduced them.

There were few important figures on the ship whom she did not recognize.

Her words made Mao Lilan look over as well.

Seeing that they were interested, Suzuki Sonoko continued to introduce the other party:
“The Fujiwara Group is just a small third-rate group that was developed by the generation of Chairman Fujiwara’s father and benefited from the times.

When it came to the hands of Chairman Fujiwara, due to his limited ability and his love of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, the Fujiwara Group is now in a very bad situation and is about to fall out of the ranks of the group.

As for the woman next to him, she should be his secretary..."

Conan pushed his glasses and glanced at the two people opposite him whose dispute gradually turned into a quarrel. Although he couldn't hear the content of their conversation because the distance was too far, the secretary's clenched fists and red eyes showed that the situation was not simple.

Instinctively, Conan paid more attention to this.

"Let's go, their affairs have nothing to do with us." Suzuki Sonoko reminded.

Mao Lilan nodded. Although the secretary looked a little pitiful, they really had no right to meddle in other people's affairs.

Conan hesitated slightly, but still followed the two of them away.

Before leaving, he looked back and saw the tears rolling down the helpless woman's face...

……

at the same time.

in a certain room.

A dark figure quietly opened his luggage.

Looking at the box full of eight eggs, the shadow's mouth suddenly revealed a cold and strange smile...
