Beside him, the younger brother with a cast on his hand tried to comfort his boss, saying that the people who came with him this time were all brothers who had worked for Oda Taisei for more than three or four years, and there shouldn't be any undercover police officers among them.

However, before he could finish speaking, Oda Taisei grabbed his hand, which was in a cast, and slammed it heavily onto the table next to him!

With a crash, the plaster cast on the underling's hand shattered completely, and the underling couldn't help but grab his left hand, letting out a muffled cry of pain.

Oda Taisei did not react to his younger brother's cries of pain.

After he finished doing all this with a cold expression, his gaze drifted to the broken plaster on the table.

Clearly, there were no listening devices hidden in those plaster casts.

But everyone present was startled by their boss's sudden ruthlessness, and the once noisy nightclub suddenly became quiet.

Just as they were preparing to be searched one by one, the plainclothes police officers outside the nightclub finally burst in.

Not only plainclothes police, but also a pair of fully armed police officers broke in. They had also been lying in ambush outside Kabukicho. As soon as they received the message from above, they rushed into the nightclub and surrounded the Oda-gumi members.

Chapter 248: Chapter 246: Just how powerful is Jiang Hang behind the scenes?

"It's really getting more and more into that style..."

All the Oda-gumi members and the Thai guys in the nightclub were taken away by the police.

Before the police could even make their move, Jiang Hang had already slipped away.

Because Oda Taisei's underlings had already dumped the drugs into the sea before the police arrived, the Oda group did not have any conflict with the police. Instead, they cooperated quite well and went to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.

Originally, he planned to help the police by giving them a few blows when the Oda Group clashed with them, but unexpectedly, the two sides didn't fight. Instead, he, as an outsider, got to relive the Infernal Affairs story up close.

"But it can't really be Infernal Affairs, can it..." Jiang Hang muttered.

Now that even the leader of the Oda-gumi has been taken away by the police, there's naturally nothing left for him to investigate further.

After casually helping a few people who were being harassed by drunkards around Kabukicho, Jiang Hang returned to his office.

......

Perhaps because there is insufficient evidence, there was no mention of the Mud Sankai or Odagumi in this morning's news.

But while most people are unaware of this, it's no secret to those gangsters.

The high-ranking members of the Mud Ginseng Association received the news about Oda Taisei being taken away by the police within minutes.

The other gang members also learned about what had happened the previous night the following morning.

Although the Himegami Group doesn't have much strength in Tokyo, they are still quite well-informed.

Therefore, the next morning, when Himegami Sakura was preparing to go with the owner of Yingdu Photography Studio to discuss the acquisition of Yingdu with Jiang Hang, news of the Oda Group had already reached her ears.

"In just one night, the Mud Ginseng Association ran into trouble, and it was the Japanese police who were involved... Do you know which department of the Metropolitan Police Department was involved?"

As Himegami Sakura pondered this, although the Oda Group had done a lot of eye-catching things in recent years, the police had never been able to find any major evidence against them. Unexpectedly, the police took action against the Oda Group the day after she told Jiang Hang about this.

"It seems to be a newly established organized crime countermeasures department that hasn't been around for more than a few years... It seems that the Oda Group has been their target for a long time, and the Oda Group also seemed to have arranged to deal with people in Thailand last night. Miss... this should just be a coincidence," said the bodyguard next to Himegami Sakura cautiously.

"A coincidence?" Himegami Sakura glanced at the other person. "I also hope it's a coincidence, otherwise the power behind that man is truly astonishing..."

"But all indications suggest that this is not a coincidence."

She paused for a moment, then looked at her bodyguard again: "Keep an eye on this matter. Contact me if you have any new information. Now, take me to Yingdu."

At the entrance of Yingdu Photography Studio, a middle-aged man, around forty or fifty years old and showing signs of weight gain, waited anxiously for Himegami Sakura to arrive.

He is Yamazaki Shu, the owner of Yingdu Photography Studio, and can be considered a relatively successful businessman.

More than 20 years ago, Yingdu Studio was founded and produced several decent sword and spear films. Later, it transitioned to special effects, and now Yingdu has become a well-known company in the special effects industry.

Although Eito is essentially a small workshop-like company, it can't compare to listed groups like Kyoegei, which produced Kamen Rider. But at least within the tokusatsu circle, the popularity of the Great General is not much different from that of Kamen Rider, and the two have always been competitors.

Not only was the special episode of The Great General supposed to compete with the theatrical version of Kamen Rider, but even the two tokusatsu series chose to have their accidents happen at the same time.

In Yingdu, it's a real-life version of "The Great General Kills the Evil Official," while in Jingying, the meet-and-greet is set up with the theme of "The End of Kamen Rider is Coming."

However, the situation in Yingdu is much better. The case here is almost determined to be legitimate self-defense. At most, because of the damage and transfer of the body, Director Yu Zaituo will have to pay a sum of money and may be detained for a period of time. This murder case can be considered to have come to an end.

Yamazaki originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while and start a new filming project after the storm had passed. Unexpectedly, Himegami Sakura, who had a yakuza background and whose influence in Eito Studio was even greater than his due to what happened five years ago, suddenly asked him to sell Eito to someone else.

He wasn't too happy about it at first, but he had been able to make money thanks to Himegami Sakura over the past few years. Otherwise, Yingdu would probably have gone bankrupt five years ago. Now that Himegami Sakura was leaving and had mentioned some things about Jiang Hang to him, Yamazaki Fubuki also went to find someone to inquire about the foundation behind Jiang Hang.

Having confirmed Jiang Hang's background and considering the rumors mentioned by Himegami Sakura, Yamazaki finally agreed.

But when he finally met Himegami Sakura and got into her car, the first thing she said was, "Last night, something happened to the Oda Group."

Yamazaki Fune was quite familiar with the Tokyo yakuza, and he looked at Himegami Sakura with some confusion, wondering why she was suddenly telling him this.

“I told him yesterday afternoon that the Mud Ginseng Association had its eyes on the people around him, and then last night the Oda Group had an accident.”

"Although it seems that the Oda Group had a 'ghost' planted in the police force, which is why they escaped last night, I think this is just the beginning. You might see news on TV soon that the Oda Group has disbanded or been wiped out by the police."

"Perhaps this time, even the Mud Ginseng Festival will be significantly affected."

Although Himegami Sakura did not say Jiang Hang's name, Yamazaki Fubuki naturally knew who she was talking about, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Yamazaki Shu quickly took out a tissue and wiped his forehead.

"Then... when I give you my quote later, should I lower the price a little more?"

He had previously discussed the price of selling Yingdu Photography Studio with Himegami Sakura. Because he wanted to make more money from Jiang Hang, the price he ultimately offered was much higher than normal.

But now, after hearing about Jiang Hang's "methods" from Himegami Sakura, he instantly became cowardly.

"It's up to you. I'm just reminding you because we've known each other for so many years. Don't be fooled by how kind that person usually seems. Even I don't know how ruthless he can be when he strikes."

Chapter 249: Chapter 247: This wave... this wave is a complete reversal of extremes.

Jiang Hang's acquisition of Yingdu Photography Studio was even simpler than when he acquired Dabao Film and Television.

When negotiating the acquisition with the former boss of Dabao Films, the other party tried every means to raise the price of Dabao Films. He assured him that the Gomeila brand would become valuable in the future, and also told him that the company's employees were all veteran employees with rich experience in tokusatsu filming, and that they were among the best in the tokusatsu industry.

After boasting about Dabao Films to the skies from every angle, until they couldn't find anything else to brag about, the boss even tearfully told Jiang Hang that if he hadn't recently run into cash flow problems, he would never have sold Dabao Films.

However, after Jiang Hang said that if he really couldn't bear to part with the shares, he could leave some shares for him to continue as a minority shareholder in Dabao Film and Television, the boss, who had just been talking about their deep affection, instantly changed his attitude.

First, he told Jiang Hang with a weary expression about how tired he was after more than ten years in the tokusatsu industry. Then, he sincerely told Jiang Hang that under Jiang Hang's leadership, Da Bao Films would definitely have a brighter future, and that he only needed to watch over Da Bao Films from afar.

Then, this boss, who kept saying he had a deep affection for the company, went on vacation abroad after receiving Jiang Hang's money. Judging from the trend, he probably won't return to Japan until the end of this year.

During the past month or so, he had not contacted any of his outstanding employees whom he missed, and he was even unaware that Gomela would be released in a couple of days.

Now that Yingdu Studio has taken over, both the venue and facilities there are much better than those at Dabao Film and Television. Although the Da Jiangjun brand IP has encountered some problems, it is still one of the most popular tokusatsu series in recent years. As long as it is properly promoted and the new series doesn't flop in the early stages, there won't be a significant loss of viewers.

Jiang Hang had originally prepared to ask the system's older brother for another loan to properly integrate the two film and television companies. He also felt that it was a bit unfair of him to come and talk to the Yingdu boss about the acquisition when Yingdu was in trouble, so he was prepared to acquire it at a premium.

Unexpectedly, the owner of Yingdu seemed somewhat distracted during the negotiation and even started talking about various negative aspects of Yingdu.

Statements such as "Although Yingdu has two studios, one of them has been abandoned and unused for five years, and the equipment has been gathering dust in the warehouse for the past five years" and "Although the Great General series seems to be popular, it has always been far behind Kamen Rider in the sales of peripheral products" should have been said by Jiang Hang, the buyer, when he was trying to lower the price. All of these statements came from Yamazaki Fusa, the owner of Yingdu.

He was still saying, "Sometimes I feel like Yingdu is a hot potato in my hands. I'm afraid it will suddenly collapse at any time, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Listening to Yamazaki Fusa talk about Eito's problems here, it seems that in his words, Eito Studio is just a small workshop that succeeded by luck with the Great General series, and in all aspects, it is at most a second-rate tokusatsu company on par with Da Bao Films.

Jiang Hang simply couldn't understand Yamazaki's actions.

Jiang Hang couldn't help but wonder if Yamazaki Zhou actually didn't want to transfer Yingdu Photography Studio at all, which was why he deliberately belittled his company in front of him in an attempt to scare him away.

Jiang Hang felt that he might have already thought of the second level, but being straightforward, he still acted in the style of the first level.

Jiang Hang, who had no capitalist awareness whatsoever and was simply rich, and felt that his actions were tantamount to taking advantage of someone else's misfortune, directly told Yamazaki that he would not take advantage of the situation, and then forcibly raised the price that Yamazaki had lowered back.

Jiang Hang's move completely baffled Yamazaki.

The price I originally quoted was inflated. Now I want to offer a normal price to please this big shot, Jiang Hang. Even if I lose a little, it doesn't matter. But why is Jiang Hang not playing by the rules?

His gaze couldn't help but drift to Himegami Sakura, who was sitting to the side without saying a word, but her attitude was as if she were telling him, "Find out how to solve this yourself."

After hesitating for a moment, Yamazaki gritted his teeth and decided to intensify his efforts to further lower the company's prices.

Jiang Hang, true to form, continued to raise the acquisition price back up.

Seeing the two people's bizarre actions, even Phoenix Wright, who was there to handle the contract issues, couldn't help but look at Jiang Hang with suspicion.

Are these two people out of their minds?

When Cheng Butang Longyi accompanied Jiang Hang to acquire Dabao Film and Television last time, he was quite passive as a novice, made many mistakes that novices often make, and learned a lot of lessons.

From his current perspective, the price for acquiring Dabao Film & Television could have been lowered considerably, but due to his initial immaturity, Jiang Hang ended up paying an extra sum.

He originally thought that Jiang Hang wouldn't include him in the next acquisition, but he didn't expect that Jiang Hang would still trust him so much.

In order not to betray Jiang Hang's trust in him, and also to wash away the shame of the last time, he stayed up for several nights and investigated Yingdu Photography Studio from the inside out.

He had originally planned to make a name for himself in this acquisition negotiation and expose the lies told by the Yingdu boss during the negotiations, but now it seems that the positions of both sides have been reversed.

The person selling the company was complaining about its shortcomings, while the person wanting to buy the company was expressing their optimism about Yingdu's current situation and their expectations for its future development.

If you let a passerby come and watch this negotiation, they probably wouldn't be able to figure out who the seller and the buyer are even after watching for a long time.

However, in the end, Yamazaki Fubuki gained the upper hand in the negotiations by a narrow margin. After all, he was the seller, and if he insisted on lowering the price, Jiang Hang couldn't do anything about it.

After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, Jiang Hang finally completed the acquisition of Yingdu Photography Studio at a price that was half a percent lower than the figure he had initially obtained from Himegami Sakura.

Then Naruhodo Ryuichi saw Yamazaki Shuu, who had lost 100 million yen, breathe a sigh of relief, while on the other side, Jiang Hang, who had clearly saved 100 million yen, looked inexplicably melancholy.

Chapter 250: Chapter 248: Acquisition of Yingdu Photography Studio

After the contract was signed, Yamazaki offered his best wishes for Jianghang's future development and then left.

Himegami Sakura also bowed slightly to Jiang Hang to say goodbye.

In front of her car, Himegami Sakura immediately spotted Yamazaki Fune wiping his sweat with a towel. It seemed that the negotiation just now had been quite a test for him.

"Miss Himegami, I think there was nothing wrong with what I just did?" Yamazaki asked Himegami Sakura nervously, rubbing the handkerchief in his hand as she approached.

Himegami Sakura glanced at Yamazaki Fune.

"That's too blunt. Do you think someone like him wouldn't be able to see your intention to curry favor with him?"

Yamazaki's face paled slightly: "This... there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Himegami Sakura lit her pipe and then shook her head: "There shouldn't have been any problem, but didn't you realize that he doesn't care about your attempts to please him at all, and doesn't want to owe you any favors?"

"When he first raised the price, you either chose to give up or you continued to stick to your position. The former would allow you to make more money, while the latter might earn you his favor or a personal connection. But you chose the most moderate compromise."
