"What do you want to say? Just say it." Wu Yi interrupted him.
Nogi Hideki closed his mouth, took a deep look, and then spoke again.
"In fact, what I really want to hire you to help win is another game. That game is particularly important to me. In order to win that game, I will pay any price."
Wu Yi got a headache after hearing his long list of nonsense, and waved his hand to interrupt again: "Okay, okay, stop talking so much nonsense. Anyway, it's still the old rules. Ten percent of the project amount, otherwise, no deal. Secondly, if you plan to hire me to fight on behalf of your company in the Kenwon Fatal Knockout Tournament, no deal. After all, we have our own company. It's okay to help out occasionally, but I will only fight on behalf of our own company in the Fatal Knockout Tournament."
"I know, so I didn't plan to do this from the beginning." Nogi Hideki said, "The game I want to hire you to win is in a week. It's a match against Gangdai Company. Your opponent is Gangdai Company's Hell Angel Guan Linchun."
He paused.
"As for the commission, I can offer 5 billion, but I have to make sure we win."
"five billion?"
Hearing this number, not to mention the girls like Karuizawa Kei, even Wu Yi, a veteran who has been participating in boxing competitions since he was fourteen, raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's a big order. You're so generous. Can you tell me what the project is?"
"It's not a secret that can't be told, just like you just talked about the fatal elimination match."
Nogi Hideki said in a deep voice.
"And the victory in the next match will be the final key to open the door to the fatal elimination match!"
"……Um?"
Volume 530: Chapter Garuda Questions
Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament is a ceremony to elect the new president of the Kengan Association.
The specific process is that one of the many registered companies of the Kengan Association proposes to invest in the event, and then the remaining companies vote and sign. As long as enough votes are collected, the Kengan Fatal Knockout Tournament can be held, and the one who can win in the end among the many participating companies can become the new president of the Kengan Association.
So to some extent, this can also be regarded as an impeachment ceremony for the previous president of Kengankai.
The first time Wu Yi knew about this kind of competition was before he went to Gaoyu High School. Katara Metō had already mentioned to him about the death match and also stated that it would definitely be held in the end.
At that time, he just thought that it was Katahara Metō who wanted to hold the event himself.
Well... although impeaching oneself does sound outrageous, for the old man with a clear mind who always likes to do some fancy things, it is not completely impossible for him to do such a thing.
After all, the stagnant status quo in Kengankai has lasted for half a century, and it's time to stir up some waves.
But as things stand now, this does not seem to be the case.
On the way back to the company, in the car, Wu Yi called Katara Metō on his cell phone.
The call was connected before the waiting tone rang three times, but the cheerful voice of a young girl came from the other end of the line.
"Hello, hello~ Yi-chan, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"
"Uh, Miss Meixiang?"
Wu Yi recognized the other person's identity as soon as he heard the voice.
"Sorry, sorry, let's talk later. Is Mr. Mietang free now?"
"But father is not here right now." Katara Shoka hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, "Father is doing a SPA now, or Yi-chan, you can tell me directly? If not, I'll ask Retō to come and answer the phone? Although it seems that Retō is busy now..."
Do SPA?
Wu Yi, frowning, slowly typed a question mark.
Logically speaking, isn't this something that only young people do? Old man Mietang is nearly a hundred years old, and he still goes for SPA to maintain his skin. Is there really any need for such maintenance?
Never mind, maybe there really is one...
When he thought about the fact that this old man had a daughter at the age of 74 and a son at the age of 75, and that he had these children with two different women, and that he was the epitome of being strong in old age, Wu Yi decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Sister Meixiang, have you heard of Nogi Hideki?"
"I know, it's the president of the Nogi Group. He's also a well-known figure in the Kengankai." Katara Shoka reacted immediately, "I thought you would know about it after a while, Yi-chan, what's wrong, did you confront him?"
"It's not a confrontation, he just entrusted me with a little work."
Wu Yi succinctly repeated the conversation between himself and Nogi Hideki, and then added some of his own guesses.
Katara Sayaka listened quietly and then hummed.
"So he was the one who approached you. You could say that the Nogi Group was the first to bring up the idea of the fatal elimination tournament. And as you know, my father is always restless and he's tired of this monotonous life. So he acquiesced to his idea of holding the fatal elimination tournament, so he just went with the flow."
You're just trying to impeach yourself, right?
Wu Yi rolled her eyes and pointed subconsciously in her heart.
"Okay, that makes sense. Oh, and there's one more thing. I remember that Naoe Jinnosuke of the Naoe faction died two years ago. Who is leading the Naoe faction now?"
"Naoe faction..."
This question was quite broad, and Katara Shoka took a while to think about it before she realized it.
"The one leading the Naoe faction now seems to be Naoe Jinnosuke's son. I remember his name was Naoe Jinjiro? Uh, or was it Yujiro? I can't remember clearly. I'll have to ask Retō later. Retō is more clear about this kind of thing..."
"Ah, forget it. Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter whether he is Naoes Jinjiro or Naoes Hame Hame." Wu Yi paused. "I would like to ask Lietang to arrange a meeting between me and the current leader of the Naoes faction."
Want to meet?
Katara Shoka was puzzled: "If we are going to meet, can't we just meet directly? Do you have any special requirements?"
"Just keep it secret. It would be best if you can contact the person directly. Don't let anyone else know about the meeting. Just say that I have a deal to discuss with them."
Wu Yi said this naturally in order not to alert the enemy. You can see this by referring to the scene when he and Ayanokouji Atsuomi first met.
Even a man as ambitious and courageous as Ayanokouji Atsuomi was frightened like that. If he openly invaded the Naoes faction's territory, then Naoes Jinjiro would probably call all the guards and hide himself in a safe that even armor-piercing missiles could not blow open.
In that case, there would be no deal to discuss.
The most important point is that once this incident causes a sensation and is known to Ayanokouji Atsuomi, the other party will certainly be extremely vigilant.
Even if the Naoes faction really sent him as a representative to go to Yuanliu Island to participate in the death match, it is not completely impossible that he would abandon the competition and escape halfway in order to save his life.
Ayanokouji Atsuomi is such a man with a keen sense of smell, cunning and like a fox.
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell Lietang later. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Katara Shoka thought about it and felt that this was not difficult at all.
"That's about all the business, I think. By the way, has your company been established, Yi-chan?"
"Of course, I've already got the Kengan membership." Wu Yi casually revealed the news, "The address is on the 24th floor of the XX building in Tokyo. It's the entire floor, and the door is right in front of the elevator. Sister Meixiang, come over and play when you're free?"
"Yeah, I'll probably be here in two days. I have some things to deal with recently." Katara Mioka agreed readily, "Garuda will also come by then."
Garuda?
When Wu Yi heard his sister's name, he was stunned.
"Garuda is coming too, but doesn't she have to go to school? Spring break is already halfway over. If she comes in a couple of days, she won't be able to stay for a few days and will have to go back again. Isn't that too much trouble?"
"Stupid!"
Katara Shoka on the other end of the phone suddenly raised her voice, as if she was very disappointed with someone.
"Yi-chan, you have already graduated from high school. Jialuo Lou is less than three years younger than you, so he must be in high school too."
"She's coming to Tokyo to attend high school?"
"Hmm~ It's a good thing that I have a brother like you in Tokyo, so it's very convenient to take care of him."
"That's right..."
As soon as Wu Yi finished speaking, she felt something was wrong.
Wait, if Garuda comes to Tokyo to attend high school and needs his care, he will have to live in the company.
In that case, wouldn't he no longer be able to happily hang out with his cute girlfriends in the company every day?
Damn! Absolutely Damn!
Volume 531: Chapter : You have the right to wear a belt
At night, in a government building in Tokyo, in a lighted office on a high floor, a middle-aged man in his fifties was still working at his desk.
The bright light from the desk lamp shone onto the table, and the diffused light reflected in the surroundings illuminated the man's eyes which were filled with fine bloodshot.
Naoe Jinjiro is the son of Naoe Jinnosuke, the former leader of the Naoe faction in Japanese politics. His father Naoe Jinnosuke passed away due to illness two years ago, so he took over the entire Naoe faction directly afterwards.
This might be a good thing in the eyes of others, as his father had finally died and now it was his turn to take action. But for Naoes Jinjiro himself, this was tantamount to torture.
Putting aside other things, without the support of his father, Naoes Jinjiro, as a son of the current Japanese political arena, is already inferior to the leaders of other factions in public.
Japanese society emphasizes respecting predecessors, and this is unavoidable even for top politicians.
We are all of the same rank, but you are my son's generation, and I have been in office longer than you, so you have to respect me.
Even if it's just superficial respect.
So under such circumstances, the Naoes faction has not had an easy time in the past two years and can only be considered to have barely managed to maintain its status quo.
As the leader of the faction, Naoes Jinjiro had no choice but to work harder. If other factions achieved a result of 100, he had to achieve 200. He would take on tasks that other factions did not dare to take on.
From head to toe, it highlights a faction that can be overcome.
For this reason, he recently took on a very difficult job...but we'll talk about that later.
Didi didi! Didi didi!
At this moment, a retro but awakening telephone ring sounded in the office without warning.
Nowadays, mobile phones all have dual SIM card dual standby function. Naoes Jinjiro immediately recognized that it was the sound of someone calling his private number. The people who could call this number were either his family members or some of his "distinguished guests", the kind that must not be neglected.
He immediately picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID.
[Katahara Reido is calling...]
Naoes Jinjiro was a little surprised for a moment.
He was no stranger to Katara Retsudo, who was the son of the current president of Dai Nippon Bank and financial tycoon Katara Metsudo and his wife when he was 75 years old. He was currently in charge of managing the entire Dai Nippon Bank and Kengankai for his father.
A sudden phone call came at this time. Could it be that Dai Nippon Bank wanted to talk to me about something?
Puzzled, Naoes Jinjiro decided to answer the call first.
His outstanding business skills allowed him to put on a respectful expression like a mask the moment he pressed the answer button.
"Good evening, Master Lietang. It's so late, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"Yes, good evening, Secretary General Naoie."
The voice coming from the other end of the phone was that of a young man who was barely over 20 years old.
It's really sad and funny. Obviously, the other party is even younger than Naoesuke's son, but he has to call the other party "young master" on the phone and put on a flattering smile, even though he knows that the other party can't see him at all on the other end of the phone.
"Uh, so why did Master Retō call you so late at night..." Naoe Jinjiro asked tentatively.
"It's not me, it's one of my brothers, or you could say a childhood friend."
Katahara Retsudo said calmly on the other end of the phone.
"It seems he has a business deal he wants to discuss with you."
"Business?"
Naoes Jinjiro's brain started working quickly, thinking about the possible candidates for this so-called "brother", while at the same time trying to make excuses.
"But we don't have any cooperative bidding projects to open recently..."
He thought that Katahara Retsudo called to promote a partner, and this kind of thing was indeed common.
For example, if the Japanese government wants to outsource a project, usually this kind of project will be very lucrative and not have particularly high technical content. It is not the kind of project that requires the world's top first or second high-tech team to complete. There are a lot of teams that can meet the contracting requirements.
So what should we do in this situation?
The simplest way is to use price bidding. Whoever requires the least funding has the highest priority and will be the one to whom the work will be outsourced.
And above this there is a higher priority, which is personal recommendation.
No matter how fierce the bidding is outside, as long as there is 50% of the funds or even 20%, as long as a phone call is made here, everything will be over and all the bidding will be useless.
Who dares to have an opinion?
If anyone has any objections, go talk to the brigade commander... Oh no, go talk to the president of Dai Nippon Bank. If you have a temper, go talk to the president of Kengankai.
Do you dare?
Many times, being rich really makes you sunbathe, but when it comes to pure wealth, being powerful makes you sunbathe even more.
However, speaking of it, their Naoes faction really hasn't received any tasks that can be outsourced recently. Suddenly pushing them to him at this time... We can't force him to create a cooperative project with his own money.
