Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 906: The Gamble of Destiny

"Jingyan."

"Master." Liu Jingyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

It was evening, and Li Jiankun was lying on the off-white leather sofa in the living room with a microphone in his ear. He first chatted with her about the gambling industry in Las Vegas.

The Sands Casino and Hotel continues to be profitable, but gradually it is losing some stamina.

Nothing else, because no matter how much work is done, it cannot make up for the outdated hardware facilities of this thirty-year-old antique.

The other casinos in Las Vegas have already learned the tricks of the Sands Casino Hotel.

Unsurprisingly, Li Jiankun did not blame her for poor management.

Being able to milk millions of dollars every month is already the limit of this old cow.

The Golden Palace Hotel acquired from Stephen Wynn is still under construction, and the speed is not slow. The Haojiang gambling kings who have invested in it are very concerned about the progress and have high hopes for it.

Li Jiankun is not sure which year the Golden Palace Hotel was built in his previous life.

According to the project progress, by this time next year, the largest and most luxurious hotel in the history of Las Vegas will be completed.

After chatting for a while, Li Jiankun changed the topic:

"I have something for you to do."

"You say."

"Do you know about the Plaza Hotel?" Li Jiankun asked.

"Of course, New York's landmark building is located on 59th Street, next to Central Park."

"Hey, they are all American."

"Living in the United States, I didn't know that people would laugh at the Plaza Hotel." Liu Jingyan's charming laughter came from the microphone.

The Plaza Hotel, which opened in 1907, is no longer just a hotel in the United States. It is considered synonymous with celebrities.

There is a saying: Nothing that happens at the Plaza Hotel is unimportant.

This one of the most famous hotels in the United States has always been the first choice for celebrities from all walks of life to stay when they visit New York. Its guests include not only popular stars, business figures, dignitaries from various countries, kings, presidents...

Li Jiankun seemed to ask an irrelevant question: "Do you know the US Treasury Secretary?"

"James Addison Baker III, you can often see it in newspapers. I know him, but he doesn't know me..."

Li Jiankun stated his purpose: "I want you to arrange for a smart person to check into the Plaza Hotel immediately and keep an eye on me. Once Baker III shows up, notify me as soon as possible."

"What...is this for?"

"I have received rumors that the United States may have important policy adjustments in the near future on the economic front. There is a meeting scheduled to be held at the Plaza Hotel. I don't know if it is reliable, but if it is true, there may be huge business opportunities hidden in it. ”

Li Jiankun could only say this.

Fortunately, no one really knows about his connections and intelligence resources except himself.

"Huge business opportunity? Otherwise, I can go alone. Anyway, Sands' business is on the right track. The Golden Palace Hotel is under construction, so there is no need to keep an eye on it."

"Okay, that's the best."

After Li Jiankun thought about it, he added: "Such a major economic meeting, involving changes in the world economic structure, is likely to be held in secret, so you have to be careful and squatting at the gate, you may not be able to spot Baker III."

"Don't worry, give me three to five days, and I will definitely get to know you at the Plaza Hotel."

Li Jiankun didn't doubt this, he was just reminding him.

Among all the female generals under his command, no one is Liu Jingyan's opponent in terms of playing skills.

She is not short of money, and she has a good status as the CEO of a Las Vegas gaming company. In addition, she is beautiful.

Give her some time and she'll definitely be able to get along like a fish in water.

"I don't worry about your work."

Letting Liu Jingyan handle this matter was a double insurance for Li Jiankun.

The matter was serious, and he would not place all his hopes on Kobayashi Daisho of Japan's Ministry of Finance, even though the other party had already accepted women and money.

Can we not afford opportunities like the Plaza Accord?

Jingle Bell!
As soon as the phone was hung up, Li Jiankun patted his butt and stood up, ready to take a shower. Before he took a few steps, the phone on the glass coffee table jumped up.

He turned back and picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Mr. Lee."

Tsuruta Nakamura's voice came from the other end of the phone. At Li Jiankun's instruction, he changed the title of "boss".

In fact, it was the crazy eavesdropping behavior of the ghost Yasuo Takei, which made him a little scared.

Tsuruta said that he made a call in the afternoon, but no one answered. He was delayed because of something later. There was anger, worry and urgency in his voice:

"You turn on the TV..."

Li Jiankun was confused, but he did as he was told and turned the TV to the channel Tsuruta Nakamura mentioned.

On the 21-inch color screen, this picture is displayed:
A bunch of guns and cannons surrounded a middle-aged man with heavy bags under his eyes.

A voice came from the TV speaker:
[...I have just said that I am responsible for the failure of the Seibu Group in acquiring land this time. I failed to understand something in advance. If I knew there were thieves in advance, the Seibu Group would protect our precious land at all costs! 】

[What do you mean by "there are thieves"? Can you explain it in detail? 】

[I must issue a serious reminder: As an island country, land is not only our foundation, but also our life. Now, some outsiders are trying to use backdoors and find spokespersons to embezzle our land. We must be aware of the problem. the severity of. 】

【Is there such a thing? Can you be more specific, who? 】

【You are talking about Arii House Co., Ltd. 】

...

On the TV, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi said no more. Under the protection of his bodyguards, he squeezed out of the surrounding reporters and left in a hurry.

Snapped!
Li Jiankun punched the coffee table.

Fortunately the glass is thick enough and of good quality.

This movement also attracted the Fugui brothers and Ran Zi from the room.

The three of them looked at his sullen expression, wondering what happened.

A voice came from the microphone that Li Jiankun had not put down:
"Later, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was interviewed at the Prince Hotel in Kyoto. I was there at the time. I couldn't avoid it. Since I couldn't contact you, I could only make my own decision..."

Li Jiankun moved his eyes back to the TV screen.

The scene switched and the process was unknown. A large group of reporters surrounded Tsuruta Nakamura.

【...Nonsense! Arii House is my company and does not belong to anyone else. I, Tsuruta Nakamura, am just me and not anyone’s vassal! 】

[So Mr. Tsuruta, how do you explain the huge source of funds? 】

[How many times do I have to say this? Don’t you know? My father-in-law is an executive of an international bank. Through his connections, I have obtained financial support. Is there any problem?

[Oh, is it unfair to rely on funds from international banks for development? Let's go and ask, are there any real estate companies that don't get loans from banks? Now how much international hot money is gathering in our country, which real estate company dares to say that they have not used international hot money? So, everyone is guilty? 】

...

Snapped!
Li Jiankun turned off the TV:

"You're coping well."

"Mr. Li, this Yoshiaki Tsutsumi... is a little scrupulous. He didn't mention his name, but he is obviously not convinced. With his status, if he does something like this, there will probably be a lot of noise. I'm worried about someone coming from above..."

Li Jiankun thought about it and said, "In this case, you keep a low profile and come to Tokyo."

"Okay, I'll leave as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiankun leaned against the back of the sofa, crossed his arms over his chest, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Not convinced?
Do you feel unhappy that the richest man in the world is being held back by others?
I have to talk too much, but I don’t dare to reveal everything, so I’m testing my bottom line here.

Excuse me.

Touch me and I'll fuck you!
Ran Zi and the Fugui brothers had already figured out what happened through the news in the second half.

Ran Zi said: "Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is very aloof and arrogant at first glance. He will definitely not be willing to give others a thumb."

She thought, boss, how can you tolerate others threatening you?

Li Jiankun glanced at her and asked, "Are you aware of this matter?"

Ran Zi quickly shut her mouth, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

Li Jiankun said calmly: "Did I send someone to eavesdrop on him? I have already obtained those things. If I want to hold him hostage, why wait a while?
"He wanted to go against me first, I was not threatening, I was just fighting back.

"The clues others left behind by eavesdropping are like laying landmines. Now I not only let him know about it, but also gave him a copy to give him a chance to mend it.

"I don't want his thanks either, can you... Don't mess with me if you are riding a horse!"

Li Jiankun suddenly shouted loudly, which made Ran Zi tremble:
“And I told him roughly all of these situations.

“Now he’s still trying to get me in a roundabout way.

"I'm still letting him have his way?!"

Ran Zi stuttered and said, "No, I can't."

Zhang Gui dared to ask: "So, we want to make the floppy disk and tape about him public?"

Li Jiankun shook his head: "Let's make all the floppy disks and tapes in the box public..."

"what?!"

The Fugui brothers were shocked. They had nothing to do during this period, so they checked the names involved on the floppy disks and tapes.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

If we really do this, it will be no less than a Category 17 hurricane sweeping across Japan.

Needless to say, Takei Yasuo is also a real genius and extremely courageous!
They don’t know that Takei Yasuo, the richest man in Japan, was a loan shark in his previous life. After directly or indirectly causing tens of thousands of Japanese people to commit suicide, the Japanese government finally realized the seriousness of the problem and introduced policies to limit the lending interest rate. , and requires lending institutions to refund borrowers’ previous overpayments in accordance with current policies.

If Takei Yasuo obeys his orders, he will have to pay more than 20 billion US dollars.

Of course he didn't listen.

However, he still had a good death.

His Takefuji Company was sold to Dutch International Capital at a high price. His son took the money and moved overseas. He didn't have to do anything anymore, but he was so energetic.

How can we get such an ending without any means?

Li Jiankun hadn't finished his words yet: "Except for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's share."

The rich brothers are scratching their heads. What does this mean?
Let's be reasonable, no one else provoked you, the one who provoked you was Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, why didn't you provoke him and instead provoked others?

Li Jiankun did not explain that what he meant by being public was not literal.

When he asked Tsuruda Nakamura to come to Tokyo on the phone, he already had an idea in his mind.

This is Japan after all, and it is not that simple to confront Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. He comes from two generations of great businessmen, and his father also served as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

He wants to draw on the energy of the other eavesdroppers inside the box.

His purpose was not just to expose Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's scandal, but that would be useless to him.

……

……

Tsuruta Nakamura looked at the paper box on the glass coffee table in shock. After just a brief glance, he noticed a few names that made him tremble.

He knew that the boss had dirt on Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

But I never thought that it was just one of them.

After all, Tsuruta Nakamura is not a fool. He never asked his boss where the black material tape of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki came from. Now a pile of black material is placed in front of him - it should be, and then think about the fact that they were once Takei Yasuo eavesdropped, and Takei Yasuo was played to death by his boss...

"Is Yasuo Takei so crazy?"

After Li Jiankun motioned the tired Tsuruta Nakamura to sit down, he asked seriously: "Nakamura, are you afraid of death?"

"……afraid."

After Tsuruta Nakamura was stunned, he smiled bitterly and said: "It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid. When I was desperate, I thought about dying, but because of fear, I never dared to take action.

“However, without your help, I probably wouldn’t be alive now.

"If you have anything to do, just ask me." These words were partly sincere and partly out of helplessness.

Tsuruta knew very well that even a guy with a strong background like Takei Yasuo went to see the King of Hell. The boss with unfathomable power and means wanted him to die, and he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.

Li Jiankun nodded slightly, not sure whether he was satisfied with these words or recognized Tsuruta's sincerity:
"There are several cars downstairs, and the people in them are special operations personnel from the Yamaguchi Group, one of the best on the road. From now on, this operation team will follow you secretly to ensure your safety."

"This……"

Tsuruta Nakamura thought with his buttocks and knew that this action team was originally designed to protect the boss, but now he gave it to him.

He was both moved and a little trembling.

Li Jiankun continued: "I won't hide it from you. The next thing I want you to do is good, and bad... will indeed lead to death.

“However, only you can do this, and no one else can do it, including me.

“I hope that the purpose achieved through this matter will also affect you and Arii House Co., Ltd.

"To put it bluntly, if this matter succeeds, you will become one of the top figures in the world.

"Otherwise, you will die."

Li Jiankun paused and looked at him deeply:
"So Nakamura, do you want to take a gamble?"

Tsuruta Nakamura tried hard to digest these words, and glanced at the paper box containing disks and floppy disks on the glass coffee table. He had roughly guessed what the boss wanted him to do.

He asked himself:
Can I choose to refuse?
Are you willing to say no?
Are you brave enough to do this?
...

Li Jiankun did not disturb him and gave him plenty of time to think.

After a long time, a voice came from my ears:

"Your command."

Tsuruta Nakamura figured it out. He was a dead man, and the only reason he was alive and became a big celebrity in the real estate industry was because of his boss.

In addition, the only daughter he cares about is already married to the son of a bank boss. Moreover, the daughter is completely able to control her husband and lives a very happy life...

Now I'm abroad again.

Apart from not wanting to die, he had nothing to worry about.

And in this matter, the risks and benefits are directly proportional.

Since I have no face to refuse.

So, take a big gamble!

Li Jiankun dug out a tape from the cardboard box and handed it to him: "First, go meet this person."

Tsuruta Nakamura looked over.

blind!
Xiaochi Pingche.

Head of the Secretarial Section of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

The rich people in the shopping mall are trying to curry favor with someone.

In the past, he wouldn't even be qualified to disturb the other party.

Now, I can barely hand in a greeting card.

This is also a gift from the boss.

Of course, this time, Xiaochi Pingche should have no choice but to disappear.

……

……

In the quiet tea room, there was only Xiaochi Pingche. Although his expression was calm, in fact, he was in a state of confusion.

In the briefcase at his hand, there was a white envelope with a tape inside.

He never thought that there was a recording of that incident.

Otherwise, given his status, if there were many businessmen who wanted to see him, he would not drop everything he was doing and rush over to meet them all alone.

Boom!Boom!
Xiaochi Pingche looked at the door, his eyes suddenly filled with anger, and he squeezed out one word through his teeth: "Come in."

The solid wood door was pushed open, and Tsuruta Nakamura walked in, bowed and saluted: "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's because I came early." Xiaochi Pingche said with no hint of emotion or anger.

click!
The door is locked.

There was no waiter coming in. Tsuruda Nakamura wanted to make tea, but Koike Pingche stopped him with a wave of his hand.

He was not in the mood for tea at all.

"What do you mean? You bugged me and now you want to blackmail me?"

"No, no," Tsuruta Nakamura waved his hands repeatedly, "Koike-kun, you misunderstood. How could I do such a thing? I got that tape by chance. After careful consideration, I think it should be returned to you."

Xiaochi Pingche looked suspicious: "Oh?"

"Does Koike-kun know Yasuo Takei?" Tsuruda Nakamura asked, which was basically nonsense.

"Isn't he dead?"

"Yes." Tsuruta Nakamura nodded, "You may not know something, but Takei-kun and I have a close relationship——"

There is no need to worry about people investigating this matter. Tsuruda Nakamura does have a relationship with Takei Yasuo and asked him to borrow money...

Before Takei Yasuo burped, he visited Tsuruda Nakamura's guest room at Kyoto Prince Hotel twice. For a high-profile person like Takei Yasuo, there will definitely be evidence of such a thing.

But others would not know that Takei Yasuo had no good intentions in looking for Tsuruda Nakamura.

"Before he died, he came to me and seemed very anxious, saying that someone was going to kill him -"

"It's not strange for someone like him." Xiaochi Pingche sneered.

Tsuruta Nakamura pretended to smile and continued: "A few days later, he came to me again and handed me something. Please tell me that if he goes missing, use this thing to save him."

At this point, he stopped at the right time.

Koike Pingche asked: "You mean that tape belongs to Takei Yasuo and he gave it to you?"

There was one thing he didn't say: Takei Yasuo actually expected him to save him?
Do I have the energy?

It seems like... there are some.

"That's right. I agreed to him at the time, but I never expected that Takei-kun didn't disappear and just left..." Tsuruta Nakamura almost squeezed out two tears.

"Tasuo Takei."

Xiaochi Pingche pondered, he believed it 70%, this is a bold person, definitely much bolder than the guy in front of him.

"In other words, what Yasuo Takei gave you has suddenly become ownerless."

He paused, stared at Tsuruta Nakamura and asked:
"You give it to me now for no other purpose?"

Tsuruta Nakamura said with a smile on his face: "I can't say it's not true at all. I did encounter something recently. Someone deliberately messed with me——"

Xiaochi Pingche waved his hand to interrupt him, he didn't care about it:
"Have you heard of it?" His eyes were bright.

"To be honest with you, I have heard it. And I can tell you, I don't know if this tape exists elsewhere, but I can be sure that there are many people who know about its existence."

Xiaochi Pingche trembled violently and almost stopped playing: "A lot?!"

Tsuruta Nakamura nodded: "I once asked Takei-kun where the tape came from. Maybe it's because people who are about to die are good at talking. Besides, he asked me for something and didn't hide it.

"It turns out that Tomi Samurai Company has a secret eavesdropping department that specializes in eavesdropping on important people and keeps the dirty information, thinking that one day it can be used by them..."

"what?!"

Xiaochi Pingche was dumbfounded.

Snooping into other people's privacy is a felony in Japan.

Not to mention setting up a department to spy...

Tsuruta Nakamura glanced at him and said, "Takei-kun passed away not long ago. If we check now, we will find out that the department has not been abolished, and there is a high probability that some things have not been released yet..."

Swish!
Xiaochi Pingche stood up quickly, picked up his brown briefcase, and hurried towards the door.

Tsuruta Nakamura stood up and chased after him: "Wait a moment, Koike-kun, what about my business?"

Xiaochi Pingche frowned: "What the hell is going on with you? Tell me quickly!"

He has completely believed what Tsuruta Nakamura said, or the story Li Jiankun spun, and whether it is true or not, he can tell at a glance now that he has copied the Tomi Samurai Company.

His black material must not be exposed.

At the same time, Koike Pingche also understood that Tsuruta Nakamura most likely had copies in hand, and he did not dare to turn against him directly.

It’s just that Tsuruda Nakamura seems to be a relatively gentle person, so we’ll deal with it later.

In an emergency, he must first deal with Tomi Samurai Company. Takei Yasuo was suddenly killed. Tomi Samurai Company is now afraid of being in chaos. God knows where his dirty information will go.

Tsuruta Nakamura quickly recounted his unfair experience.

"Okay, I get it."

After saying the next sentence, Xiaochi Pingche left in a hurry.

Later that day, an economic inspection team visited the company.

In the basement of the building's parking lot, I found an office with the words "The computer room is a very important place, no one is allowed to enter" on the door.

Crack!

Bang dong!

The inspection team seemed to be demolishing the house inside.

In a parking space in the parking lot, in the back seat of a black Crown car, Xiaochi Pingche stared coldly through the front windshield.

After a long time, an inspector quickly ran to the Crown Car holding a white storage box.

The car door opens.

A pair of hands stretched out from inside and took the storage box.

In the car, Xiaochi Pingche looked at the box handed to him and took a deep breath.

He was just looking for dirt on himself, but he didn't expect to find a bunch of people...

This is what Li Jiankun calls openness.

It’s not him who makes it public.

Instead, use one eavesdropper to expose it to other eavesdroppers.

There are two reasons why he chose Xiaochi Pingche:

1. This person is a senior member of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and is good at talking in shopping malls.

2. This person is famous for being an all-rounder and good at maneuvering.

With Xiaochi Pingche's identity, it is unlikely that he will use this black material to blackmail other eavesdroppers, but he will definitely let other eavesdroppers...especially those who are useful to him know that he helped them and find him. Returned the dirty information.

I received a huge debt of gratitude.

"That's wrong!"

Xiaochi Pingche was suddenly startled and realized a problem:
Tsuruta Nakamura has a lot of dirty information on him and not just him! !

Takei Yasuo acted as insurance for himself and asked Tsuruda Nakamura to save his life in a critical moment. The black information sent to him was for no reason only his own, Koike Heitaku.

Who is he? He only cares about business matters...

This was also the information Li Jiankun wanted him to pass on to other eavesdroppers.

As a result, two results will occur:
1. These people killed Tsuruda Nakamura.

2. There is no way for these people to kill Tsuruda Nakamura without anyone noticing and get back the dirty information, so they can only submit obediently.

Risks and benefits are directly proportional.

If Tsuruta Nakamura can withstand this wave of immortality, Takei Yasuo has lived a cool life in his previous life, and his son will continue to live a cool life, a fate that no one can change.

This life will be his.
