Abiko City, Chiba Prefecture.

Hitachi Seiki Co., Ltd. was originally a subsidiary of Hitachi. It separated from Hitachi to become an independent company in 1945, but continued to use Hitachi as its name.

"The ghosts of the United States are on the Eight Gate Road!"

In the president's office, President Shimizu Hiromasa was furious. All the items on his desk were swept to the ground, and tea and ink were splashed everywhere.

He couldn't help but be angry. Not long ago, Hitachi Seiki took over the order of imitating 100 automatic chain machines from YKK Company. The total amount was only 1200 million yen, and YKK's payment terms were very poor. The money could only be settled after every 30 machines were delivered.

The objects YKK requested to imitate were four automatic planting machines that it imported from Easy Company in the United States. As Hitachi Seiki had a technical gap in the production of automatic chain machines, it took on this unprofitable order in order to accumulate technology.

You should know that the total amount of the four automatic planting machines imported by YKK is also 1200 million yen. The quantity differs by 24 times, but the amount is the same. Who dares to say there is a profit?

Such a profitless order has brought trouble to Hitachi Precision Machinery. Just now, a vicious American lawyer sent a letter of attorney. Easy Company sued Hitachi Precision Machinery for patent infringement and demanded a claim of 1200 million US dollars.

This lawyer is also a celebrity. Last year, he won the lawsuit against Masamura Shokai Co., Ltd. and won the claim of 3 million yen.

Hiroshi Shimizu knows very well whether Hitachi Precision Machinery has infringed on other's rights. There is no lawsuit to be filed, but compensation is certain, the only question is how much he has to pay in the end.

At this moment, besides hating the American devils, he also wanted to cut Yoshida Tadao's belly with his sword.

Matsunaga Trading Co.

Yoshiko Matsuda received a guest in the president's office, which could only be described as vast. He was Masashi Kudo, a director in charge of loans at Industrial Bank.

"Kudou-kun, I want to ask you for a favor."

Not long ago, Nobuyuki Matsunaga reached a cooperation with Industrial Bank. Industrial Bank supplied long-term loan funds to Nobuyuki Matsunaga. Nobuyuki Matsunaga gave Industrial Bank interest far higher than normal loan business, and transferred personal benefits to stakeholders.

The person in front of her is Kudo Masashi, who has received a dividend of 200 million yen from Matsunaga Nobuyuki. It can be said that they have shared the spoils with "Kudo Tetsu", so Yoshiko Matsuda speaks more casually and directly.

"President Matsuda, what do you need me to do?"

"I know that YKK has an import loan of $3.5 from Industrial Bank. Please ask Kudo-kun to put some pressure on Yoshida Tadao."

"Did Yoshida Tadao offend President Matsuda?"

"No, he has not offended me. Matsunaga Investment plans to invest in YKK Corporation."

Kudo Masashi understood instantly, and nodded, "No problem, I will put some pressure on Yoshida Tadao."

Yoshiko Matsuda bowed slightly, "Please."

Today, Yoshiko Matsuda rarely does the most polite salute (45 degrees) and the true salute (90 degrees). Generally, the shou (15 degrees) and salute (30 degrees) are enough to cope with most scenes, and her back has become straighter.

After finishing the discussion, Kudo Masashi said goodbye and left.

Yoshiko Matsuda looked at a document that needed urgent attention, then pressed the intercom on the desk, "Wada, please ask Mr. Zhou from Singapore to come up."

"Hay."

After the establishment of Umado Shinhan, Keiko Nagumo no longer served as Yoshiko Matsuda's secretary, but only continued to manage Matsunaga Investment. Yoshiko Matsuda re-selected a secretary from dozens of candidates, Kazuo Wada, who was expelled from the Department of Economics of Toyo University before graduation.

The main reason why Kazuo Wada was chosen was the reason why he was expelled. He was the leader of a radical student activity organization affiliated with the Japanese Communist Party. He could motivate people with just his mouth, which shows his leadership ability.

Secondly, he has a good professional background and was born in a family of small vendors. He has been helping out in the vegetable and fruit shop Yaohan run by his parents since he was a child. He has better business knowledge than ordinary people and is also familiar with the small vendors who are the main customer group of Matsunaga Shinhan.

After a while, Kazuo Wada led Zhou Zhanyuan upstairs.

"President Matsuda, I am Zhou Zhanyuan from GSA. This is my first time in Tokyo. Please take care of me."

Zhou Zhanyuan experienced the Shonan period and learned Japanese for a period of time in order to make a living. He was not very fluent, but there was no problem in communication.

"Mr. Zhou, please take a seat." Matsuda Yoshiko nodded to Zhou Zhanyuan. After Zhou Zhanyuan sat down, she said, "Have you received the telegram from President Brown?"

Zhou Zhanyuan nodded, "I have received it. General Manager Brown has instructed us to cooperate with you in seeking YKK's agency."

"Mr. Zhou, now is not a good time to discuss agency with YKK." As she spoke, Matsuda Yoshiko took out a folder and placed it on the desk. "I have prepared a catalog of competitive products and companies in the Great East Ocean Empire for Mr. Zhou. You can take it back and study it."

"Thank you."

Kono Office.

Xian Yaowen's original motivation for establishing this agency was to conduct business through the channels of the Yamaguchi-gumi's business department. The Yamaguchi-gumi would grab the territory and performance opportunities, and the Takano Agency would follow behind to pick up some small benefits.

As a result, the third generation head of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Kazuo Okada, was not interested in cooperation between the two parties in the entertainment field, and the plan failed, but the Takano Agency was still established, and Kusuo Kobayashi was recruited as the president, and Katsumasa Hirata, who had worked in the film and television industry for many years, was recruited as the vice president.

Kobayashi Kusuo's original identity was a member of the Sumiyoshi Federation, a Yakuza. Choosing such a person as the president shows that the positioning of Takano Office is not very serious.

This is indeed the case. Since taking office, Kobayashi Kusuo has been busy with two things. One is to recruit erotic actresses. Hong Kong Friendship Pictures and Takano Agency have established a strategic partnership that is not disclosed to the public. Takano Agency has been sending high-quality actresses to Friendship Pictures to participate in the shooting of erotic films on a long-term basis.

It is difficult to start an erotic film. Currently, only Zhang Zhongwen is willing to try his hand at filming an erotic film, and the pioneering work is progressing with difficulty.

The next step for erotic films will also be difficult. As long as erotic films are made, there is no need to worry about sales and box office. Each film makes money, and the actresses who play a key role should become complacent, act like big shots, demand higher pay, be poached, and so on. Some negative things are bound to happen.

In order to further tap the potential of actresses, maintain the healthy and orderly development of the entertainment market, and curb the occurrence of unhealthy phenomena, it is necessary to pour a reasonable number of catfish into the goldfish pond.

The second is to develop the Paradise Cinema channel.

There is a concept of film consumption ratio in movies, which refers to the ratio between all the shooting materials and the final length of the film. The current film consumption ratio in Hong Kong is generally around 3 to 1. There is no extremely low ratio, because there are too few materials to make it difficult to edit the film. There is also no extremely high ratio. Any director who dares to let the film fly for a while will face the risk of being lame for life, not to mention making money while standing.

The final running time of the next film is generally between 90 minutes and 130 minutes, which means that almost 200 minutes of material will not be released in theaters.

Generally, films need to pursue a strong storyline, and content that is not convenient for the audience to understand the plot will be cut. Of course, erotic films also need to tell a story, but the audience's tolerance for certain "useless shots" will be very high. No matter how relevant it is to the story, they will just put more of it in. They would rather wet their pants than miss half a second.

In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuver. A 105-minute version, a director's cut, a version with behind-the-scenes footage, a collector's version for the male lead, a collector's version for the female lead, a stolen/robbed version, a forced version, and so on can be launched. Countless versions can be cut out from one shoot, and as long as there is a market for it, one version after another can be launched until it is completely ruined.

Of course, this kind of operation will not be accepted by regular cinemas, and it requires the less formal Paradise Cinema as a broadcasting channel.

To put it simply, the Cinema Paradise is a combination of video halls, quack performance troupes, and open-air cinemas. It presents special versions of erotic films to the audience in various ways and provides more humane services during the screening process.

As long as the audience is willing to pay the on-demand fee, some shots can be returned for re-screening.

The Paradise Cinema Plan is also known as the Two Ticket Plan. Audiences who watch a movie once in a regular cinema will contribute at least one more ticket to the Paradise Cinema.

Xian Yaowen has a dream, to sell a romantic film with a global cumulative box office of over US$5 million and to produce several generations of "beauties". Sicily has a beautiful legend, and Sham Shui Po, Tiu Keng Leng and Bowl Lane can also have one, right?

Not only that, Cinema Paradise also carries Xian Yaowen's ambition to promote Hong Kong's tourism industry. Erotic films cannot only shoot fictional stories, but also have to be connected to reality occasionally, shoot autobiographical films, promote a few holy places and several saints, and let movie fans around the world rush to Hong Kong for pilgrimage.

Entering the 1950s, with the recovery of the Japanese economy, the employment rate of women continued to rise. However, just like some misleading employment statistics, the high employment rate of Japanese women is not very valuable. Most women work hard in positions that fully utilize the demographic dividend. The work is heavy and the income is meager. The profession of actor is very tempting to them.

Kusuo Kobayashi and Katsumasa Hirata are very busy. They need to re-examine hundreds of applicants who have passed the initial interview every day.

As long as you pass the re-examination and become a junior actress in the agency, you can get a signing fee of 5 yen. Once you become a mid-level actress, you can receive a monthly salary of 5 yen. This salary is free and you don't have to sit in the office or do anything. When you have a job, you can also receive a separate payment.

Takano Agency is not just engaged in the business of acting as a pornographic actress. They must form an entertainment troupe. No matter whether it is for a grand opening, wedding or funeral, fishermen setting up their nets, farmers planting rice, etc., wherever there is a need for excitement, the entertainment troupe of Takano Agency will go there to perform.

The high-end path will be explored by the Fujisan Society, but the Takano Office is taking an ordinary path, actively staying away from elegant halls, flowers and applause, walking into the fields, caring about the country's food policy, caring about food and vegetables, and accepting freshly picked tomatoes from Kanagawa farmers and freshly squeezed milk from Hokkaido dairy farmers.

Of course, this is the tone when writing promotional soft articles from a third-party perspective. The markets that Takano Agency focuses on developing are nightclubs, izakayas, hot springs, and small theaters. These places may seem inconspicuous, and they may not earn much appearance fee for a performance, but they are located in various places, and several art troupes can perform in a seamless cycle.

As the saying goes, true gold will always shine. The more places you go, the more outstanding people in the art troupe will emerge. Then you can pick out the outstanding ones and send them to a higher level. In this way, the outstanding ones will already have a good fan base, and less investment can make a person famous, thus paving the way for a beggar's version of making a star.

The stars who are made famous in this way are not comparable to those who are nurtured in a greenhouse. They have seen all kinds of complicated situations and all kinds of shameless things. They are shameless and resourceful. They will win when they encounter a fight, and other stars cannot help but fight.

The Kono Office is code-named "Pyongyang" and has a hidden identity: a dog raised by the Fuji Mountain Company. From time to time, it can pick up suitcases full of money in the garbage dump. Anyone who dares to bare his teeth at Mount Fuji will be disturbed.

Right now, Yamamoto Shiro is sitting in his office flipping through the resume sent by Hirata Katsumasa. The saying that gold will shine is a lie. It can be covered up perfectly by the tattered pants of a 65-year-old woman. What Yamamoto Shiro is doing is the preliminary screening to circle out a few candidates with golden faces. Those who are circled out will have the opportunity to enjoy the wide-ranging investment of Fujisan Company's resources.

In other words, the shining gold has most likely been determined from the beginning, and the parts that are not covered are those that suddenly become enlightened or mutated in the middle. If such a character is born, Yilin’s story will just follow suit - the dazzling gold, someone’s bumpy road to fame!

Of course, not every star comes from the assembly line, there are also lucky ones.

Mariko Okada, who has a strong background, is participating in the filming of an anti-war film "The Fruit Roll" in Hong Kong, in which she plays the important role of Zaoko Nanyun.

The script is fictional and tells the story of how the Japanese invaders used loads of fruit to abduct children for frostbite experiments. It is disguised as an anti-war film, which not only disgusts the Japanese invaders, but also tells a love story under the hail of bullets.

At this time, Japan needed time to lick its wounds and develop its economy. It was more tolerant of heresy, allowing anti-war movies to be made freely and throwing dirty water on the Imperial Army. What else could it do if it didn't admit defeat? Showing an attitude of admitting mistakes would make it easier to re-enter the international market.

Admitting a mistake does not mean that you really think you are wrong. How could there be anything wrong in expanding territory? If you were wrong, Huo Qubing would not have been the Marquis of Guanjun. Right and wrong are not determined by cognition, but only by winning or losing.

Which so-called revolution is not a group of lawbreakers and criminals who gather together to trample on the dignity of the law, and finally kill the law, use another law to highlight and prove their own justice, and then use the law as a weapon to strictly prevent another group of lawbreakers and criminals from elevating themselves to revolution.

Which one represents justice: revolution or law?

Probably none of them will work, only the big fist is justice! (End of this chapter)
