Chapter 1145 Are You Here to Eat the Whole Family?

Maeda Chuichi's purpose of coming to the Yagyu Dojo to find Yagyu Junko was very simple.

Like Yan Yu'an, they all hoped that after the death of Umibozu, Ms. Yagyu, a well-known figure in the industry, would step forward to take charge of the situation, reorganize the chaotic market conditions, and solve the livelihood problems of their female compatriots.

However, Maeda Chuichi proposed to maintain the status quo, that is, Yagyu Dokan and Maeda Company would support a puppet like Umibozu to do things in the front, and then both parties would share the profits behind the scenes.

The promise was made in a grandiose way and the conditions sounded sincere.

Yagyu Junko put down her teacup, nodded and smiled, "President Maeda, I really feel your sincerity. But I still have a few small questions. I wonder if you can help me solve them."

Maeda Chuichi raised his hand and said, "Ms. Yagyu, please feel free to speak."

"The first thing is, in fact, not just me, many people want to know, how did Umibozu die? Which god did he offend? Who killed him? It is really disturbing that such a great transformed demon died in such an unclear way, and there is still no definite explanation until now."

Maeda Chuichi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I am also deeply confused about this matter, but at least it is certain that it is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with his business. After the death of Umibozu, his business was not affected, nor was it encroached upon by any force."

"Then everyone hasn't reacted yet, right? For example, President Maeda, aren't you here to discuss this matter with me? Do you have any evidence to prove that this is indeed a personal grudge, and not just an attempt to coax me into taking over as a scapegoat?"

Maeda Tadashi looked embarrassed. Firstly, he didn't expect Yagyu Junko to be so smart and see through his intentions. Second, he didn't expect Yagyu Junko to speak so bluntly.

What about our traditional Japanese virtues of euphemism?
Why make the air so stiff?

"Yagyu Dojo has deep local connections. Isn't there any way to find out the situation?"

There is indeed a channel. I played mahjong with him all night last night.

Yagyu Junko smiled slightly, ignored his question, and continued: "Second thing, taking over Kaifangzhu's business, besides money, are there any other benefits for the Yagyu family?"

"What do you mean besides money? In the past, Yagyu Dojo and Umibozu often competed with each other and had occasional frictions. Now there is an opportunity to control the entire market. Miss Yagyu, what are you hesitating about?"

"From your perspective, this may be true. But the only heir to the Yagyu Dojo for three generations is a daughter, and it is already exhausting to maintain the family business from decline. In other words, I have neither the energy nor the ambition. No matter how much money I make, it may not be able to continue the incense by the time my daughter's generation comes. Who will spend the mountains of gold and silver?"

Actually, I have a useless grandson...

Although Maeda Chuichi wanted to say this, now was not the time to say it. The Yagyu family relied on kendo as their capital, and if they wanted to marry into the family, they had to have some real skills.

We can wait until a cooperation agreement is reached before testing the waters.

Maeda Chuichi did not answer this question immediately, mainly because he had not prepared in advance.

Yagyu Junko smiled and continued, "The third thing, President Maeda, I don't know if you have ever considered what the Ming government's attitude is towards this business? We make a living on their territory, don't we need to care about their opinions?"

“This is exactly what I came here for.”

Maeda Chuichi immediately said, "I know that Miss Yagyu has connections in the upper echelons of the government, so I would like to ask you to help find out what's going on there. Others may not be able to take on this business, but Miss Yagyu is different. As long as you have this idea, I think..."

"Your estimate?"

Yagyu Junko was puzzled and asked: "If I have such great ability and such a strong desire, why should I cooperate with you? Where exactly is your value reflected?"

Maeda Tadashi's face froze, and gradually turned red to the color of liver.

This woman was ruthless in her words. "There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty that a single tree cannot support a tree. Miss Yagyu is a woman, so it is not suitable for her to do everything by herself. There will always be things that require our Maeda Company to do for you."

“Why don’t I work with local people?”

"In the eyes of the locals, Miss Yagyu is an outsider after all, so there will inevitably be a gap in their hearts."

"I have never had any contact with you. Is there no estrangement between us?"

“Barriers can be bridged.”

“How to dissolve?”

"Ms. Yagyu is still single, and I happen to have a son who is now an adult but has not yet married. It would be an honor for the Maeda family if you could marry into the Maeda family."

Maeda Chuichi couldn't help but speak out what he was thinking.

Junko Yagyu looked at him as if he were an idiot.

So you guys don't want to pay anything, but just want to kill off our Yagyu family and all our property?
If Wang Yunxiao were here, he would definitely complain harshly, saying that this is a game that only T0-level players are qualified to play.

Of course, if he were really sitting here, Maeda Chuichi would be dead by now.

The dead don't need to think about so many problems.

Junko Yagyu is a businesswoman, and she knows that this is a negotiation tactic in the business world of asking for an exorbitant price and paying a low price.

Maeda Chuichi had already said what he wanted, and was waiting for Yagyu Junko to make an offer.

This is how a serious business should be discussed, instead of jumping out like a psychopath and saying that if you marry my son, you have to bring 245% of the dowry, and all the assets of the Yagyu family will be transferred to the Maeda family, and my son marrying you does not mean that he will not take concubines. If he sleeps with other women, if you dare to intervene, I will report you for engaging in the gray industry in the past and send you to jail to eat peanuts.

Even the Japanese with the purest bloodline might not dare to make such conditions.

At this moment, in the mahjong room diagonally opposite, Wang Yunxiao and two other people were playing mahjong tiles while eavesdropping on the conversation across the street.

"There is sincerity, but no sincerity."

Yan Yu'an summarized this.

"It would be great if we could come to some conclusion, but it doesn't matter if we can't. This Maeda Chuichi should be sent by the Samurai Society to test him. The person he really wants to find is me."

"So... where are the masters?"

Han Bin impatiently threw out a four-of-a-kind card and said, "Why did you ask me to come to this game of noobs fighting each other? You're not really going to play mahjong like this for three days, are you?"

"If you are concerned about Miss Cheng, you can leave first."

"Bullshit! Would I miss her?"
