Hong Kong film: My brother, Big D, I really don't know kung fu.

But as a father, how could he not hope deep down that his daughter could marry a truly good man?

"But..." Kusakari Ryo seemed hesitant to speak, appearing somewhat stammering.

Kazuo Kusakari frowned, his tone impatient and commanding: "Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush!"

Upon hearing this, Kusakari Ryo was overjoyed, thinking that his chance had come.

He hurriedly said, "Godfather, I heard that Lei Hao has a girlfriend in Hong Kong, and she is the only daughter of the leader of the Quanxing Society."

This was information that Kusakari Ryo had painstakingly and painstakingly obtained.

He thought that by saying this, he could greatly damage Lei Hao's good impression on Kusakari Kazuo, thereby ruining the marriage.

To Kusakari Ryo's surprise, Kusakari Kazuo's face remained calm. He said indifferently, "I know about this. Isn't it normal for such a capable young man to have a girlfriend before marriage?"

He went on to explain, "The more capable a man is, the more women he will have around him. The more women he has, the more successful he is."

"Moreover, Hong Kong only abolished polygamy not long ago, and there are still many wealthy men who have several wives, so don't be surprised."

Kazuo Kusakari spoke from the heart, just as he deeply loved Nanako Kusakari's mother, but she wasn't the only woman in his life.

His real purpose in wanting to marry Nanako Kusakari to Lei Hao was to win over the powerful force behind Lei Hao in Hong Kong, thereby helping the Yamada Group expand its financial avenues and consolidate its position in Japan.

Moreover, he believed that his daughter, Nanako Kusakari, could demonstrate the resilience and wisdom expected of a Yamato Nadeshiko, handling everything well, including managing a man like Raigo.

Kusakari Akira stared wide-eyed at Kusakari Kazuo with an incredulous look, as if he thought he had misheard.

He originally thought that the information he had painstakingly gathered would successfully smear Lei Hao, but he did not expect that he would ultimately fail.

Kusakari Kazuo's behavior clearly showed that he had accepted Lei Hao as his son-in-law, someone he could not easily sway.

The following day, led by Kusakari Akira, Rai Go and Kusakari Kazuo had their first formal meeting.

They stepped into a Japanese-style courtyard, pushed open the heavy wooden door with black lacquer and copper nails, and were immediately greeted by an atmosphere that was both solemn and elegant.

The front courtyard's gravel path is as straight as a knife, flanked by neatly trimmed holly bushes, each leaf gleaming with a cold luster, exuding a sense of rigor.

In the center of the courtyard stands a majestic stone statue of a warrior, with his 573-meter-long sword drawn three-tenths of the way from its sheath, as if poised to strike at any moment, exuding an invisible pressure.

The backyard pond was surrounded by jagged white pebbles, and the gray-black eaves of the building were reflected in the water. A faint mist swirled around it, adding to the eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

Led by Kusakari Ryo, Lei Hao and his group crossed a winding corridor and finally arrived at a fairly large reception room.

Kazuo Kusakari, dressed in a traditional kimono, knelt solemnly in the main seat, his eyes deep and bright, exuding the composure and majesty of someone who had long held a high position, making him someone not to be underestimated.

After gesturing for Lei Hao and Zhou Chao to sit down, Kusakari Kazuo did not rush to speak, but instead carefully observed Lei Hao, seemingly trying to discern something from his expression.

Lei Hao chuckled inwardly, fearing that he might suddenly jump up and shout, "Three parts Qi, seven parts hard work!"

Of course, all of this was just a little bit of imagination that Lei Hao had after seeing Kusakari Kazuo's familiar face.

In fact, one of them was a rising financial elite in Hong Kong, and the other was a godfather of a Japanese triad.

This first meeting did not result in any intense clashes; everything seemed calm and peaceful, yet it concealed hidden meanings as both sides tested each other.

Although Zhou Chaoxian, the leader of the Wanwansonglin Gang, was also present, he was not the main character of the meeting; he was merely accompanying him. The real protagonist was Lei Hao.

"Mr. Kusakari, the real reason for my visit is to ask you for a favor!" After some polite greetings and initial probing, Lei Hao got straight to the point.

"Please speak!" Kazuo Kusakari raised an eyebrow. He thought Lei Hao was still too young and hadn't been able to keep his composure, revealing his purpose too early.

However, in comparison, Lei Hao's composure and decisiveness are far superior to Kusakari Ryo's.

As Kusakari Ryo's adoptive father, how could he not know that Kusakari Ryo was an ambitious man?

However, what gangs need most are ambitious people like this. Only such people will truly strive for their ambitions and expand their territory.

Moreover, Kazuo Kusakari believed that Akira Kusakari couldn't cause any major trouble under his watchful eye, which was his absolute confidence and control as the sixth head of the Yamada-gumi.

Lei Hao continued, "I hope Mr. Kusakari can help me get in touch with Panasonic. I want to order a few dedicated production lines from them."

"A production line?" Kazuo Kusakari was taken aback. He hadn't expected Lei Hao to come to him to order a production line; this was beyond his expectations.

Kazuo Kusakari couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of production line do you need to order? Is it for producing raw materials for Snow King beverages?"

Zhou Chaoxian had previously told him that Lei Hao was coming to Japan to discuss the expansion of Xuewang Beverage, but he hadn't expected that there would be an order for a production line.

"That's right. I've developed a new product, and to mass-produce it, I need an advanced production line. That's one of my goals for coming to Japan this time."

Lei Hao explained, "My other goal in coming to Japan, I'm sure my cousin Zhou Chaoxian has already mentioned to Mr. Kusakari, is to help me get introduced to senior executives at Panasonic."

Lei Hao explained the purpose of his visit to Kusakari Kazuo, but he deliberately concealed the real VCD project, saying that now was not the time to talk about it and that he needed to ensure the production line was in order first.

The reason they sought Kazuo Kusakari's help was because Zhou Chaoxian told them that Kusakari had a close relationship with a high-ranking executive at Panasonic.

Seeking help from Kazuo Kusakari can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. Even when ordering production lines, he can prioritize internal allocation to produce the production lines that Raigo needs first, shortening the waiting time.

If Lei Hao were to place an order with Panasonic through official channels, he would have to follow all the procedures, which would naturally be less fast and efficient than placing an order and getting the goods through back channels.

Time is money these days. The sooner they get the VCD production line installed, the sooner they can start producing VCDs and seize the market opportunity.

"I see. Please be patient and I'll let you know once I've made the arrangements. In the next few days, Nanako Kusakari will show you around Tokyo!"

Kazuo Kusakari did not immediately agree to Raiho's request, but chose to delay for a few days.

On the one hand, he was curious: Lei Hao was a finance graduate from Stanford University and was doing well in futures investment, so why did he suddenly start researching products?

Kazuo Kusakari believed that Raiho was not the kind of person who spoke without reason. He wanted to take this opportunity to have Nanako Kusakari get close to Raiho and find out the specific business secrets.

If this is a profitable business, Kazuo Kusakari would certainly want to get involved, since no one would complain about having too much money.

Thus, with both sides harboring their own ulterior motives and deliberately keeping their conversations tacitly agreed upon, the meeting was quite pleasant, and both sides achieved their respective goals.

Kazuo Kusakari then invited Raiho and the others to dine at his manor, and made sure to invite Nanako Kusakari to join them, even arranging for her to sit next to Raiho.

Nanako Kusakari, dressed in an elegant light-colored kimono, knelt quietly to one side.

The fabric has no elaborate patterns, only a few extremely fine silver threads embroidered on the collar and cuffs, which appear faintly under the light, giving it a low-key and exquisite look.

The wide sleeves partially concealed her slender wrists, her fingertips resting lightly on her knees, her posture dignified and graceful.

Her long, black hair was meticulously tied up, revealing her fair nape. Against the backdrop of her light-colored kimono, her skin appeared even more like snow, making her seem incredibly endearing.

She lowered her eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, like a lady in a light ink painting, gentle yet with a reserved air.

As the servants brought out the dishes and wine to each person, Nanako Kusakari reached out her hand towards the celadon wine pot on the table.

The cuffs of the plain-colored kimono glided a soft arc across the sandalwood table. When her slender white fingers lifted the celadon wine pot, her wrist bones rose in a beautiful curve, her knuckles distinct, showcasing her feminine grace.

The sound of sake falling into the cup was as delicate as rain. Just as the cup was about to be full, she withdrew the sake pot at the perfect moment, and once again extended her slender hand, gesturing for the cup to be filled.

"Douzo (Please use)!" Her voice was even clearer and more melodious than that of the wine and women.

Lei Hao smiled, picked up his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

He secretly praised Kusakari Nanako for being quite good-looking; it was worth it for him to use his looks to complete the plan.

However, what he was more looking forward to was Nanako Kusakari's pretty appearance.

Lei Hao hopes that Kusakari Nanako can help him take control of the Yamada Group in the future, as that would be Kusakari Nanako's true value.

When Kusakari Ryo saw Kusakari Nanako serving Rai Go, he lowered his head in hatred, afraid that someone would see the ferocious expression on his face.

When Kusakari Kazuo saw Lei Hao's appearance, he immediately felt relieved.

He secretly thought that it wasn't that Lei Hao disliked women, but rather that he disliked promiscuous women.

Lei Hao wouldn't even glance at women who were just playing around in entertainment venues; nine times out of ten, he disliked those who weren't clean.

His daughter, on the other hand, was a virgin he had watched grow up, a pure and innocent young woman who had never been in a relationship.

Moreover, Kazuo Kusakari then remembered that it seemed that people in China liked pure women, which happened to match his daughter's characteristics.

For him, the leader of the Yamada-gumi, it was very easy to find a large, clean plot of land so that he could cater to their preferences later.

Kusakari Kazuo was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that he had found Lei Hao's weakness and that he could easily control Lei Hao in the future.

After the banquet, Kazuo Kusakari did not let Lei Hao and his group return to the hotel. Instead, he warmly invited them to stay at the manor so that Nanako Kusakari and he could get to know each other better.

After settling Lei Hao and his group in, Kazuo Kusakari called his daughter Nanako Kusakari to him, and the father and daughter began to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Nanako, what's your opinion of Lei Hao?" Kazuo Kusakari asked bluntly, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Nanako Kusakari's face. After a long pause, she mustered her courage and whispered, "Father, my adoptive brother said he's not a good person, and he already has a girlfriend in Hong Kong..."

Before this, when Nanako Kusakari learned that Lei Hao had a girlfriend in Hong Kong, she was actually feeling uneasy and hesitant.

However, she could not disobey her father's orders and dared not defy him, so she could only silently bear this pressure.

Now that Kazuo Kusakari has asked her about her true feelings for Raigo, Nanako Kusakari can only reveal what worries her most.

A flash of anger crossed Kazuo Kusakari's eyes. He knew in his heart that Kusakari Ryo would definitely cause trouble and spread rumors in the dark.

Noticing the change in Kazuo Kusakari's expression, Nanako Kusakari was startled and hurriedly explained, "Father, please don't be angry. My sworn brother told me all this for my own good..."

Before Nanako Kusakari could finish speaking, Kazuo Kusakari interrupted her, shaking his head and speaking in a serious and profound tone: "Nanako, don't easily trust anyone, even if that person is someone you know very well."

"Huh?" Kusakari Nanako looked at her father in astonishment, not understanding what he meant by that, her heart filled with confusion.

Kazuo Kusakari shook his head and slowly said, "Kusakari Ryo, there is one thing I did not lie to you about: Lei Hao did have a girlfriend in Hong Kong, and like you, her father is also a triad boss."

He then changed his tone, adding a hint of pride and approval: "However, Lei Hao is by no means a bad person, but a true financial genius! He earned a net worth of HK$160 billion within six months of graduating from school, which is equivalent to more than 2500 billion yen!"

"How many people in the world can do something like this? There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: 'A person who doesn't attract envy is mediocre.' Do you understand what that means?" Kusakari Kazuo patiently explained.

"Ah! Rai-kun is actually that amazing?" Kusakari Nanako covered her mouth in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.

Although she had never lacked food or clothing and had been pampered since childhood, she was well aware of how enormous 2500 billion yen was.
