Chapter 99 Each has his own merits
"Li Taisui"
Uesugi Kiyoshi swiped his phone, looking through the information that Kudo Yuichi had just sent him, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Also sent over was some information found by Touwen Maki. As collaborators of the Tai Sui Gang, they undoubtedly had to know more about this Chinese gang.
However, compared to the three famous families in the yakuza, this Tai Sui Ye is indeed a bit low-key and not well-known. The only thing widely known is the fierce combat record of his fighting faction. But the current social environment is different from that of the past after all. With the Metropolitan Police Department cracking down severely and everyone uniting to fight against foreigners, no matter how powerful they are, they can only defend the status quo. It is a fantasy to want to make progress.
In addition, his base is on the other side of the sea, and the detectives under Kudo Yuichi are somewhat helpless - their arms are not that long.
Therefore, the place they were about to go to was still shrouded in mystery in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart.
After reading the information on the phone, Uesugi Qingwei closed his eyes slightly and his brain worked rapidly.
He was quite precocious in his previous life and suffered a lot from the harshness of society. Regardless of his emotional intelligence, at least he was good at observing people's expressions and was used to persuading others.
"Miss Dongwen."
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Toufumi Maki.
The business car was driven by the demon sword Kamishi, with Kudo Yuichi sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and a calm look on his face. In the back seat sat Toufumi Maki and Uesugi Kiyoshi, who were discussing countermeasures side by side.
"Sir, please just call me by my first name."
This young lady from Dongwen was a bit stubborn. Although Uesugi Kiyoshi said that he would not accept any disciples for the time being, she still insisted on calling Uesugi Kiyoshi "Sir" and her tone was very respectful. She looked like she was listening to his teachings and was very humble.
Uesugi Kiyoshi really falls for this. If you are nice to him, he will be nice to you as well. If you turn against him, his sword will definitely hit you first.
Especially now that our strength has greatly increased.
So he slowed down his tone.
"Okay. Maki."
"Have you figured out how to negotiate with this Tai Sui?"
"I've read all the information. The Dongwen Society and the Taisui Gang can only be regarded as trading partners at best. There is no agreement to stand together and help each other. Don't expect these gang leaders to show any kindness."
Dong Wen Zhenxi thought for a moment and answered hesitantly: "Appeal to their emotions, persuade them with reason, or lure them with benefits?"
The general direction is correct.
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded slightly and said, "Well, how about a little more detail?"
He was patient and encouraging, and really acted like a teacher.
He knew his own limitations and didn't think he could match the shrewdness of those big guys who were in power, but he was more than capable of teaching this cute new young lady a lesson.
Before the incident at Tobunkai, Maki Tobun had been working hard to whitewash Tobunkai, get rid of all the dirty work, and use the existing capital to restore Tobunkai's reputation in Japan, where there are many chaebols.
This is difficult, but not absolutely impossible.
Therefore, what Maki Touwen learned is not applicable to the Yakuza.
If you ask her about the future development direction of Japan's economy, she may be able to write a paper of several thousand words, with every word well-reasoned, but for other aspects...
She stammered and blushed a little with embarrassment. The words she said were all her father's teachings, which she knew by heart, but she had only a vague idea of how to apply them in negotiations.
If she really knew a little bit about negotiation skills, she would not have directly promised to give most of the interests of the Dongwen Association to Uesugi Kiyoshi. If she had someone else with strong power and ambition behind her, she would probably have eaten up this young lady and the fat behind her in one gulp.
This is not the way we talk.
"The most basic basis of so-called negotiation is to find out what the other party desires most, and then use it as a bargaining chip, and shake it out bit by bit to test the other party's bottom line. Finally, both parties reach a consensus on the premise of ensuring their own interests as much as possible."
Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Toufu Maki's furrowed brows and sighed.
"Forget it. I'll negotiate with him and may have to give up some of my interests as bargaining chips. You have to be mentally prepared."
Dong Wen Zhenxi naturally understood the principle of trusting people when employing them, and she nodded slightly and said seriously: "Yes, I understand, please sir."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car had a bit of the flavor of Liu Xuande's three visits to Sleeping Dragon, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, not long after, the business car slowly stopped.
Kamishi stepped sideways out of the car and held an umbrella for Toufu Maki. Uesugi Kiyoshi got out shortly after him. Amid the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella, he looked at the traditional Chinese buildings with carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets not far away, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in his heart.
This building has some southern garden style and it can be seen that it cost a lot. There are two young men in plain clothes standing guard at the door. They should be security personnel.
Uesugi took a quick look and led everyone forward. He cleared his throat and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Please inform the two of you that the second generation leader of the Dongwen Society, Dongwen Maki, is here to visit Taisui and has something important to discuss."
He spoke in fluent Chinese. He looked very good in his attire, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, like an elegant intellectual. In addition, the Dongwen Club was well-known, so the two young men in casual clothes looked at each other suspiciously, but did not make trouble to drive them away. Instead, they responded in Mandarin with a southern accent: "Wait a moment, we will ask for instructions from above."
Then, one of them took out his cell phone and prepared to dial.
Before the call was made, the front door was pushed open from the inside.
A pure white oil-paper umbrella, untouched by the mundane world, like a flawless white cloud, with a lotus-like elegant silhouette, came closer and closer to Uesugi Kiyoshi.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression couldn't help but freeze for a moment, and some incredible words came out of his mouth.
"You are Fuyao?"
Li Fuyao held an umbrella with a sweet smile, glanced at Dong Wen Zhenxi casually, waved her hand at the greetings of the two young "young ladies" behind her, and spoke calmly.
"This is my father's guest. Don't worry about it. I will receive him."
After she finished speaking, she met Uesugi Kiyoshi's complicated gaze, bent down slightly, her waist outlined by the cheongsam to create a very seductive curve, and made a gesture of invitation.
At this moment, her grace and elegance are not inferior to that of Maki Toufumi, who is wearing a gorgeous cherry-colored large furisode. One is graceful and elegant, while the other is ethereal and otherworldly. They are like plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, each with their own merits.
"Li Taisui, Li Fuyao?"
"."
"Is that so?"
"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence."
Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind turned, and his expression gradually calmed down. The girl in front of him had once saved his life, so she was definitely not an enemy. If she was the apple of the eye of that Tai Sui Lord, it might be a good thing.
"We meet again. Hmm. I didn't expect the way we met this time."
He spoke first, and the two communicated in Chinese. Only Kudo Yuichi, who had learned a lot of different Chinese and was calm and composed, could understand the general idea. The rest of the people were all confused.
Li Fuyao smiled silently, looked back at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and spoke in a leisurely tone, as if she was not surprised by his visit.
"Didn't expect that? I don't think it's that hard to guess."
"You, yesterday you drew swords with the two ghosts of Dongwenhui and saw blood. It's obvious that you are going to confront Dongwenyu. Dongwenhui has a close relationship with my father and is an indispensable business partner. If Dongwenhui is in trouble, we should be the first to ask for help. But I heard that something seems to have happened to Dongwenhui?"
"The one behind you must be the eldest daughter of the Dongwen Club, right? She is as dignified and beautiful as the rumors say."
"So, Qing, you brought Miss Dongwen here, you can't be here to show off your new girlfriend to me~"
She said this seemingly jokingly, then paused at the door of a small courtyard.
Then, Li Fuyao turned his head, squinted his eyes, and spoke to Uesugi Kiyoshi in a serious tone.
"My father is a stubborn old man. He follows the rules and won't take advantage of his friends when they are down. But if you want him to help, you have to give him a good reason."
"From that time till now, the brothers under my father have not been living comfortably in Tokyo. The xenophobia here is too serious. He has been holding back a lot of anger in his heart. It is not easy to persuade him."
"but."
"If it's you, it should be okay, right?"
Seeing Li Fuyao's matter-of-fact smile, Uesugi Kiyoshi finally relaxed his frown. He took a long breath, put aside the messy thoughts that kept surging in his mind, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
Hearing this tone that seemed to be full of confidence in himself for some reason, he felt a sense of pride rising from his heart.
"Maki and I came here with sincerity. Joining forces with the Dongwen Society will only benefit Taisui and not cause any harm. I believe we will reach a consensus."
Li Fuyao didn't listen to this at all.
She held the umbrella in one hand and put the other hand behind her back. She leaned forward slightly and looked up at Uesugi Kiyoshi. Her eyes moved, fluctuating between Uesugi Kiyoshi and Toufu Maki, with a half-smile on her face.
After a brief silence, her smile grew wider.
"Maki~, that's a very intimate name. What's going on? Could this really be your new girlfriend?"
"Hey! A princess in distress and a knight who draws his sword to help her fall in love with each other. I've read many novels and stories where this is how it's played out. They're truly a match made in heaven."
"Should I say congratulations now?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi faced the flickering light in the girl's narrowed eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Chapter 100 I am the East Wind
Before Uesugi Kiyoshi could explain, Li Fuyao smiled and shook her head.
"I'm just kidding, you're not taking it seriously, are you?"
"You look so nervous. It's not my business if you find a girlfriend, right?"
"Besides, you are very indecisive in some aspects~"
She muttered a final word quietly, without giving Uesugi Kiyoshi a chance to speak, and smiled slightly, bowed gracefully to Toufumi Maki, Kamishi, and Kudo Yuichi, who had been following them silently, and spoke in fluent Japanese.
"I know why you are here. My father is inside. I believe your time is valuable. Please come in."
After saying that, as Dong Wen Zhenxi whispered a polite thank you, Li Fuyao pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and led a few people in.
The yard is neither big nor small, and has a very retro corridor structure.
Under the eaves, there was a high table and two stone benches, two figures were sitting there leisurely, one of them was holding a small wine pot, eating the dishes on the table, taking a sip of the wine from the pot from time to time, looking quite comfortable and relaxed, as if he was carefree.
It's a little after eight in the morning now, so it's not too much to have morning tea.
However, it is rare to see a man drinking so early in the morning.
The smile on Li Fuyao's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was replaced by a frosty expression.
She trod heavily, swaying her oil-paper umbrella, and walked up to the two figures. She spoke in a voice that was frighteningly calm.
"My dear father, I have warned you at least twenty times not to drink in the morning - it's bad for your stomach. If you want to live a few more years, you might as well listen to me. After all, I am your biological daughter and I will not harm you!"
Sitting on the right side of the small table was the third uncle who went to Li Fuyao's courtyard early in the morning to look for food.
On the left is a middle-aged man who looks to be only about 40 years old - his actual age is much older than he looks.
He was wearing a loose dark-colored Tang suit, with his legs crossed and a pair of black-soled cloth shoes on his feet. His face had been slightly scratched by the vicissitudes of time, but he did not look old. His facial features were angular and profound, and it was not difficult to tell that when he was young, he was probably a famous handsome man in the area.
