Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Yusaku Kudo has deep, penetrating eyes.

He hadn't expected Lin Mo to be so direct, even so easily refusing the benefits that were offered to him.

This made him even more cautious about Lin Mo.

after all……

Anyone who's just playing the white glove won't refuse any benefits they can get their hands on.

The company's money belongs to the boss behind the scenes; only the benefits that you personally gain are real.

Not to mention that although he is not a tycoon, the problem is that even his public identity is that of a world-class detective novelist, and his wife is a top global superstar!

As for money, even with his apparent status, he could have as much as he wanted.

If Lin Mo dares to speak, he won't even try to bargain.

But Lin Mo refused!

Without even considering it, Kudo Yusaku could tell from his eyes that the other party truly didn't care about money.

After further confirming that Lin Mo was not a front man, Kudo Yusaku's attitude became cautious once again.

"Lin Mojun, thank you so much!"

"If Shinichi becomes too presumptuous in the future, I hope you will be magnanimous and let him off the hook."

"My husband and I are willing to bear tenfold or even a hundredfold loss for any damage caused by Shinichi."

"Oh, right."

"Does Lin Mo-jun know Shinichi? What kind of forces has he offended?"

"If you have any information, my husband and I are willing to pay any price to buy it."

Kudo Yusaku spoke again.

He first expressed his gratitude, then, considering Conan's personality, added a second layer of explanation, and finally tentatively asked a question.

but.

Although he performed quite well, to be honest, he was still testing Lin Mo to see what level he was at.

The reason is easy to understand!

The organization caused such a big stir back in the day, and they even did the "rejuvenation" thing. Anyone from a powerful background couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

If Lin Mo doesn't understand, then it proves that his level isn't that high either.

If they knew, they could also confirm that Lin Mo was no ordinary person!

His probing was just well-concealed, so it wouldn't easily provoke hostility from others.

The result of this test will also allow Kudo Yusaku to confirm what kind of attitude he should adopt when interacting with Lin Mo later.

the other side.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Yusaku Kudo truly lives up to his reputation as the smartest person in the original work; his current demeanor is a complete opposite of Conan's.

This guy is too experienced!

He clearly wanted to test me, but his tone was so refined, and he put himself in a humble position, so that even though people knew he was being tested, they still couldn't feel any displeasure.

If Conan had half the skill of his father, he wouldn't have ended up like this, and he certainly wouldn't have been fed APTX-4869 by Gin.

After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke.

"I know a little."

"But Mr. Kudo, what are you prepared to offer in exchange?"

"First of all, I want to clarify that I am not short of money, nor am I short of general assets."

"Either exchange of intelligence, or assets in special industries."

"For example, industries such as steel, heavy industry, light industry, energy, and food, as well as high-tech industries that are slightly less advanced, need to be discounted."

"I also lack talent!"

"If you could introduce me to a few high-level talents, whether in management, economics, or certain special industries, such as senior security personnel or veterans of special combat, that would be great."

"The requirement is that they have dirt on me, so I can completely 'trust' them!"

Lin Mo's eyes darted around, and he immediately made a price offer.

capitalists!

I'd sell myself if it meant getting something good in return.

Even if he doesn't sell this information himself, given Kudo Yusaku's status, as long as he's willing to spend money to buy it through special channels, he can most likely get the information from other large conglomerates.

At the very least.

In Lin Mo's opinion, he might not know much about the Suzuki family, but he certainly knew something.

Given the personal relationship between the Kudo and Suzuki families, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain information from the Suzuki family if one was willing to pay a small price.

So, let's sell it.

What can't be sold!

Regarding the items Lin Mo just mentioned for the transaction, as long as the Kudo family can provide them, he is willing to sell Amaretto's information, and he guarantees that all the information is true and he will never do anything like trying to get something for nothing.

In the realm of business transactions, his reputation is quite good.

Kudo Yusaku's heart sank.

After hearing Lin Mo's words, he was completely certain that Lin Mo was not a front man, and that he was the real boss.

Moreover, the industries he has publicly disclosed are most likely just the tip of the iceberg.

but.

Lin Mo's appetite is truly enormous!

How easy is it to exchange intelligence of the same level?

As for the industries Lin Mo wanted to get involved in, they were almost all pillar industries of the country. Although he had some shares in companies in these fields, they were not suitable for trading.

Special talents?

He can't find it at all now, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to trade it.

After all, Lin Mo demanded "absolute loyalty," so how could two people who had just met guarantee that? They had to dig up dirt on each other that could kill them.

Details...

Yusaku Kudo wouldn't stoop to doing that!

Of course.

It can't be said that Lin Mo is asking for an exorbitant price; after all, being able to obtain information about forces that can reverse aging does indeed justify the price in certain circumstances.

Although he could inquire at other conglomerates, such as the Suzuki family, that would require using personal connections.

In some respects, he would rather spend money to buy intelligence than owe others personal favors.

Because debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay!

at this point.

The fact that Hattori Heiji turned green with anger when he accidentally owed Shiratori Ninzaburo a favor is enough to prove how precious favors are, especially to people of a certain status...

Nobody wants to owe someone a favor if something can be bought with money.

At this moment, Yusaku Kudo fell into deep thought.

He was pondering what he should offer in exchange for the information Lin Mo had revealed.

After pondering for a long time, he took a deep breath.

Kudo Yusaku looked at Lin Mo solemnly before speaking in a calm tone: "I can get an American PMC license, which can be used within the sphere of influence of the United States, including Japan."

"Did you make the deal?"

As he said these words, Kudo Yusaku's heart was bleeding.

no way!

What Lin Mo wanted was something he couldn't and didn't want to achieve.

After all, his hands were clean and he didn't want to get tainted by blood and darkness. Moreover, the assets Lin Mo wanted were too extravagant, belonging to the top tier of assets even on a global scale.

Although the information concerning Bao'er's son was important, he would never trade such a thing.

After thinking for a while, he offered his price.

Honestly...

This price is too high. If it weren't for his own son, he would never have been willing to offer something like this.
