Tokyo Wingman King
Chapter 489 66 4 The aliens in the elephant house and the debate on the shopping street
(Re-examining, although this book uses a lot of hot news, it is actually a fictional historical setting, so don't take it too seriously.)
In Japan, if you compare the Yamagata, Fushigawa, Hyuga, and Kisaragi families with thousand-year-old famous families such as the Gosatsuki family and the Hachijira family, these four families are not actually true aristocrats.
It’s just that the modern social order created by capitalism has blurred the boundaries between the nobility and the wealthy, so much so that many people believe that if a family’s power and wealth can be passed down for more than five generations, it is not an exaggeration to call it “nobility”.
But in the eyes of the true aristocrats of this country, without three centuries of sedimentation, no matter how much those families look like aristocrats, they are just nouveau riche who are good at imitating, and will have no status in the upper circles.
Of course, the Shanchuan, Sun and Moon families cannot last for a total of 300 years. Like those famous big conglomerates, the Sixiang family can only last for about 180 years at most since its rise.
But the reality is inconsistent with the aristocratic prejudices of the Qinghua Yulin family - the status of the Sixiang family has never been underestimated since 1867.
These southwestern gangsters, who originally started out by overthrowing the shogunate, transformed from armed groups to military aristocrats during the Meiji period. During the Showa period, they controlled violent organizations such as the underworld, the police, and the military, and actively infiltrated the political, legal, and financial fields. During the Heisei period, the Sixiang family successfully transformed into a large-scale comprehensive investment group involved in all aspects of social and economic life.
Compared with the so-called real aristocrats, they only lacked an ancestor who was a senior civil servant of the shogun.
Although this magnificent history of grassroots rise is not as legendary as "The World Master Toyotomi Hideyoshi", there is definitely no other story like it in modern Japanese history.
The reason is that they have always been guests of honor of the five regents, the protagonists of national power.
In Japan's series of internal reforms and foreign wars in the 19th and 20th centuries, they were the spokesmen for the Five Regents who were unwilling to see power fall into the hands of others, and were also the lackeys relied upon by all parties.
After the end of World War II, there was no more feudal fiefdoms in the East, nor were there privileges for the House of Nobles and the nobility. The power of the Four Elephants, which had risen by force, was completely dismembered. However, in the late 60s when the world was in turmoil, history took a turn for the worse, and the Four Elephants, along with the Japanese aristocratic order, were revived by the long-dormant Five Regents.
The Kujo family and the Yamagata family, the Konoe family and the Fushigawa family, the Ichijo/Nijo/Takashi families and the Hyuga Kisaragi family, they recalled the friendship during the Meiji period when they manipulated the politics of the elder statesmen and fought against the powerful feudal forces, and once again reached a cooperation.
During Japan's post-war economic boom, the Five Regents used their magical powers to allow the less powerful Four Symbols to return to their old ways. In less than 10 years, they made a comeback, and in terms of power, wealth, pomp and reputation, they left those declining nobles far behind.
Of course, these four families still have their shortcomings - their illustrious reputations, like those of Italy's Borgia family, have a skunk-hyena smell.
Unlike the Saionji and Katsura families who were successfully whitewashed, the Shiseido family was still criticized even though most of their assets had been turned into legitimate businesses.
After all, having done the dirty work for the Five Reconnaissance Team for 180 years, they have long become the protagonists of this country's dirty history, a history that cannot be easily erased like an atomic bomb flattening a city.
The violent group, which has changed its name several times, is still given its family name by some people with ulterior motives.
Their children are often teased by people in the circle, calling them gangster masters and ladies.
In this regard, most members of the Sixiang family would choose to avoid suspicion regarding the family's business that is not to be made public, and enjoy a low-key and spotless life of superiority.
But there are also some outliers who will sink into their own violent organizations, pay tribute to their ancestors, lick the stench, and awaken the cruel and violent predatory instincts in their bones.
The outliers among the outliers hope to start a life of extremes from scratch and accumulate popularity in the lower-level organizations of the family - those recognitions from the bottom of society that are insignificant to the nobles.
As for Fuzugawa Risei, she is an outsider. If the Four Symbols family is compared to the mainland, then she is the Socotra Island or the Galapagos Island that has been isolated from the mainland for tens of millions of years, giving people the illusion of traveling to an alien planet in an instant.
Asana reviewed the information about the four families of Yamakawa, Sun and Moon in his mind.
Therefore,
Is the Moonlight Fighting in front of me an alien?
Looking at the several young gang members behind Kisaragi Koto who looked uneasy, Asana became confused.
Judging from the various activities held by the Yingsi Brotherhood, such as charity, extreme sports, and novelty fun, the young master of the Ruyue family is very clean and elegant, and has nothing to do with the word "sinking".
He obviously belongs to the type who "is indifferent to the smell of fishy and foul odors and enjoys the life of a superior person."
Pulling in a few gang members who are in charge of this block, perhaps just to cover up the intention of watching Fuzugawa shoot a commercial?
That's not right. Yuxingyuan once said that if Yueguangdou and Yingsi Kai like [Kant's Axe], the so-called unconditional sincerity under the [absolute command]. If he really wanted to visit Fuzugawa, he would not bring such an irrelevant person around to cover it up.
"Asama, can you do me a favor?"
Hearing Kisaragi Koto's question, Asana took off his mask and asked back,
"Why do you think I can help?"
The girl's first love face, like the moonlight, forced a smile and asked back.
"Is there anything that the great Five-Reflection Emperor Master can't help with?"
"What made you conclude that what I just said meant [I can't help] rather than [I don't want to help]?"
Asana continued to ask questions in response to the questions asked.
Without dwelling on the misleading information hidden in Asama's first words, Ruyue Guangdou asked again,
"[As long as the process is ethical and the result is positive, he will not refuse a reasonable request.] Is the saint who said this wrong?"
When Asama heard that Yugyoin was setting a trap for him again, he felt that his family's 20 billion investment was still too little, although Asama could also understand Yugyoin's difficulties.
“He must be wrong.
Possess lofty ideals and firm beliefs of loving the motherland and the cause of the liberation of all mankind; possess a spirit of dedication to serve the people and help others; possess a professionalism of loving what one does and being dedicated to what one does; possess an innovative spirit of forging ahead with determination and self-improvement; possess an entrepreneurial spirit of hard work, diligence and thrift
Only those who meet the above five conditions will become the person mentioned by Yuxingyuan.
As far as I know, in Japan, such people only appear in cartoons that are out of touch with reality and deliberately make people cry."
"."
If he had heard this answer from somewhere else, Rugetsu Koto would definitely not continue to force the opponent, but he had done enough research on his opponent, Asama Shizumi.
The future heir of the Konoe family is undoubtedly a person with a rebuttal personality.
He will reject, deny, and criticize anything he encounters, including himself.
Ruyue Guangdou believes in Takashi Kaname's analysis - many abnormal behaviors of Asama Shizue are probably due to the anti-definition and anti-control habits formed in childhood. In fact, this person is not bad at all. He will unconditionally show his generosity to things that are truly true, good, and beautiful, such as to Fuzuigawa Risa and Futami Tsukiumi.
Ru Yueguangdou shook his head and said,
"I have seen such a person myself. So, are you deliberately praising Rishi in front of me, or are you suggesting that I ask Rishi for help?"
"If you think so, I have no objection."
Asana shrugged, looked at the three people behind Kisaragi, and continued,
"If you want F-san to help you collect protection money or something, I don't think she would agree."
Ru Yue Guang Dou also looked back at the three people behind him and said with a smile,
"We stopped collecting protection fees 30 years ago and started collecting rent instead, which is legal and compliant. I came here today mainly to renegotiate the contract with Dahui Heping."
"Is there any problem with the previous contract?"
"There was no problem with the previous contract, but these idiots asked Dahui to charge an entry fee of 80."
"Why don't you just go back? Why did you come here in person? Or are you here for something else?"
"Other matters aside, the contract still needs to be re-signed. We are willing to give Wuxianshe up to 20 years of rent-free and a renovation subsidy of up to 20 yuan per square meter, and we will also increase our investment in the future of this street. The prerequisite is that the companies in Wuxianshe allow us to invest in them."
After all this time, it turns out that both the bald-headed Ruyue and the Seiji Yugyoin are using the same tactics. What on earth do the Yingsi family want to do?
It can't be that he is just showing off that he has money but nowhere to spend it? Investing in these things that have nothing to do with the main business of the Konoe family, but are closely related to Asama Shizumizu, will undoubtedly send out an ambiguous signal - the Five Regiments family is adding to Asama Shizumizu.
Ying Siwen and Jinwei wondered what these two old men were plotting.
Or was this Ying Si's idea?
Asama gathered his thoughts and replied,
"If you expect Dahui to agree if I nod, you are wrong. It is his company. Whether you think it is good or not, whether you want to invest in it or not, has nothing to do with me. In addition, I suggest that you don't tell others your bottom line in the negotiation at the beginning."
Ruyue Guangdou confirmed again that Yingsi's judgment about [Asama Shizumi is a refutation type] was extremely accurate. He smiled at Asama and said,
"It's no use trying to distance yourself from the issue now, right? As for who the Infinite Society belongs to, I don't think anyone would think the answer is Dahui.
How about we make a bet? You pretend to agree with us buying shares. If Dahui agrees, you lose. I've brought the shareholding agreement with you, and we sign it on the spot. If Dahui disagrees, I lose, and I'll give you the whole shopping street, and you'll be Dahui's landlord. How about that?"
Asama did not answer this question.
"If I wasn't here today, how would you handle this?"
"If you want to know the answer, you might as well answer my question first."
"I already know the answer, so, to answer your original question, you don't need my help with this."
Seeing Arima and the honorary president of the shopping street walking towards them, Asana put on his mask again.
The free afternoon wind blew across the bustling city streets and alleys, but stopped in front of an inconspicuous street in Adachi Ward.
The crowds of onlookers formed an impenetrable wall in the middle of the shopping street.
If you take a photo here, someone who doesn’t know would think this is the Nakamise-dori shopping street of Sensō-ji Temple during the New Year.
"Very good, Ms. Futami, keep this angle, let's change the lens and shoot it again."
The director holding the camera straightened up, carefully put away the original lens, took out a new lens from the waist bag hanging in front of him and installed it carefully. The assistant director who had been operating the drone came forward to help Futami tidy up his bangs.
Unlike the professional advertising team of Asahi Mineral Water, the advertisement for Emma Shopping Street was shot by a local young couple - because the cost of renovating the shopping street is too high, the [Shopping Street Revitalization Planning Committee] was extremely cost-conscious when it came to promotional expenses.
Judging from the previous promotional posters, cheap products do not necessarily mean bad products, but these good products have lowered their expectations due to lack of opportunities.
The disparity in this world may be caused by both complacent people and self-deprecating people.
Although the shooting team was small with only two people and the shooting task was rather complicated, the shooting progress was smooth.
Both Daiki and Arima possessed the charm of mobilizing everyone to concentrate their efforts on doing great things - the people from Mugensha were responsible for various field affairs, and Arima also invited his three younger sisters to play the childhood heroines in the commercials for free.
In order to live up to her brother's entrustment, Akina Kaneda, who played the childhood Fuzugawa, got a wig dyed by Parisian painting. Fuyuya Shiotani, who played the childhood Mashima, cut her chest-length hair to the same short as Mashima's a few days ago. Haruna Mori, who played the childhood Futami, also kept asking veteran actor Futami for advice on acting.
The content filmed by Fuzugawa and Jiandao is a pair of friends who have drifted apart and reunited on the street of memories.
The content of Erjian's filming was a girl who came to the old street to choose a birthday present for her grandmother. The shop owner talked to her about the gifts she had bought in the past 10 years.
The first story wanted to express that "shopping streets can help you awaken love", and the second story wanted to express that "shopping streets can help you spread love", and the whole thing was extended around the theme of "love from childhood to adulthood". At that time, the casually made advertising sample was actually implemented as the final version by the "Shopping Street Revitalization Planning Committee". It was hard to tell whether they were too lazy or too loyal.
"Such a bad story was actually written by Shui? If it weren't for our outstanding looks and acting skills, this street would have been ruined by Shui. Alas, it seems that Shui is not suitable to be a screenwriter. If you ask me, the easiest way to make this street a super popular shopping street is to let Shui open a restaurant here."
Pochi, who had been a guest passerby with Masumi Ichijo half an hour ago, sighed with an amazing expression while sucking on a lime rum popsicle.
"Could it be that the advertising director changed Hero-kun's advertising script without permission?"
Masumi Ichijo tried to save Asama's reputation by putting the blame on the advertising director.
"It's impossible for everyone to agree with this. I actually think the idea is good, but there are some gaps in the logic, which will test everyone's acting skills."
Jiandao blamed the problem on the actors.
Asama, who was listening to their conversation from afar, felt a little regretful that he did not pay more attention to the promotion of the shopping street.
In fact, it doesn't matter. No matter how bad the plot is, the girls' looks can easily accomplish the mission of advertising. Thinking of this, Asama began to understand why there were so many bad advertisements and bad TV series in China in the previous life.
Fuzugawa waved and smiled at Asama who was surrounded by Arima, Daiki, Ryuuzaki, and Kisaragi.
"Robert, remember to like it! Everyone else too~~By the way, Mai-chan, how about you upload one too? Put our band tag in it."
She had just made several puzzles out of the girls’ on-site photos, added relevant tags, indicated their locations, and posted them on social media X.
A few hours ago, she also posted an abstract video of a robot doll voiced by her fighting a white horse doll.
Therefore, half of the audience who came to the shopping street to watch were fans of the new rock star, Busui. Many of them specially wore the heart-shaped sunflower T-shirts released by Dead Samurai to cheer for Busui.
After hearing what Fuzugawa said, Arima, Daiki, Ryuuzaki, and Kisaragi all lowered their heads and took out their mobile phones, ready to click "like".
“Why don’t you like it?”
Ryuuzaki, who had asked Arima for Fuzugawa's X account name and was waiting for the app to be downloaded, frowned at Asama as if he were a revolutionary traitor.
“Don’t play this.”
"I don't play either, but I just downloaded one. If you're worried about exposing your privacy, can't you just use a small account?"
Asama avoided the look that Busui Kawai threw back at him and replied,
"So what kind of communication power can a small account have? Don't be fooled by this kind of formalistic charity. Instead of being an isolated denominator yourself, it is better to spend money to mobilize those tens of thousands of digital lives."
The wrinkles on Long Qi's forehead became more prominent.
"Humph, if everyone participates in public activities with such a clear sense of personal gain and superiority, then these activities will only create more isolation. Since you are personally practicing these public activities, stop saying these words that are out of touch with the people."
Arima also gave his own opinion.
“I think what Long Qi said is right. The real function of social platforms is to make everyone a neighbor. If social platforms only have spectacles created with false numbers, then this platform will be abandoned by people who truly desire to communicate.”
Kizuki Koto felt that he had just made eye contact with Busikawa, and felt a little happy in his heart, and smiled,
"Are the user relationships on social platforms actually neighborly relationships? This is a novel idea, but it really tests people's ability to love. In Christianity, it is said that "love your neighbor" means at least one or two people, and at most a hundred or so people, but on the Internet, there are tens of thousands of neighbors."
Arima Yoshihiko is one of Takagi Kaname's election opponents, and Yoruzuki Koto knows a lot about him. Gogyoin Sei has a high opinion of this classmate.
During the peaceful communication and negotiations with Daiki, Arima Yoshihiko also demonstrated his extremely high ability in mediation and matchmaking. Although the agreement was not signed that day, the matter was almost settled.
Is it because Yoshihiko Arimaka has the same upright stance as Riyo Fushigawa that he is favored by the Five Imperial Masters?
[Let’s completely transform Japan, starting with transforming the next generation.]
Maybe this isn't a rumor.
"No, you are completely on the wrong track. I am not denying Asama's understanding that social platforms are marketing platforms. I just don't want him to be the kind of person who is only interested in himself. Many geniuses will eventually become this kind of person, but with Asama's influence, he will lead many mediocre people to imitate and worship him, and then create more lunatics and criminals in society with playful, mean or nihilistic expressions!"
Yinghe Batman said dissatisfiedly.
Upon hearing this, Yinghe, the vice president of the Student Union, thought of the cult leaders he had sent to preach in Adachi Ward.
"I know what expression a person who is only interested in me has. That expression is much stronger than what you described - their faces will be filled with the confidence that they have grasped the truth, the arrogance of an authority that cannot be refuted or questioned, which will make people around them fear him, respect him, and obey him from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone will unconsciously deify him, and they themselves will be in the spasm of self-belief all the time, unable to extricate themselves."
The eldest young master of the Ruyue family laughed and said,
"The faces you are talking about are hard to see nowadays. Experts, scholars, businessmen, politicians, and celebrities all hide their expressions behind masks. They are always ready to change their words, cater to others, and cover up according to other people's reactions. It is difficult to see their inner stance at all. This is an expression that is out of touch with humanity and the masses."
After saying that, the three people in the discussion group all turned their eyes to Asama, who had been wandering around the discussion and silently liking Fuzugawa's tweet.
They were all trying to find out what kind of expression was hidden behind the indifferent face.
Dahui sighed silently, these people don't understand at all, if the teacher didn't throw out excessive words, how could you continue to think deeply about this issue? (End of this chapter)
