Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 43 Fear is the source of inspiration
"You called me here just to talk about this kind of thing?" Zheng Yi frowned.

Fujiwara Naoko said nervously, "Of course not. I was just very angry to see you being smeared, so I couldn't help but say a few more words."

You've said too much.

Zheng handed the newspaper to Ai, telling her to learn from how others scolded her good brother.

Ai, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying it very much.

She was really enjoying reading the content that was mostly criticizing Zheng Yi.

I love reading this kind of book.

Moreover, the content written above was quite explosive, revealing many inside stories that even she, who was working closely with Zheng Yi, was unaware of, yet this newspaper managed to find them.

It’s also very impressive.

It's just a question of whether such a powerful newspaper can withstand Zheng Yi's revenge.

Fujiwara Naoki said weakly, "What I meant was that you could reduce the price of the theaters by another 10%."

"How could I possibly accept this?" Zheng Yi looked embarrassed.

Fujiwara Nao's face turned pale. "You must accept this, or I will feel extremely guilty! Selling the theater chain to you at such a high price is something I cannot live with."

At Fujiwara Nao's insistence, Masakazu reluctantly agreed to his request.

After the meal, Fujiwara Nao suggested taking Masakazu home, but Masakazu refused.

Once in the car, Masayuki tested Ai, "Do you know why Fujiwara Naoki lowered the price for me again?"

Why?

It's all because his father refused to sell it to you at a low price, so you made his father commit suicide.

The manager, Matsumoto, is investigating you; his daughter was soon poisoned.

Would he dare not lower the price?

"I don't know," Ai said softly.

Masakazu patted Ai's head and said softly, "It's sincerity. Fujiwara Nao felt my sincerity, which is why he took the initiative to lower the price."

Ai nodded as if she understood, but inwardly she was in a frenzy.

"Ai, you must remember, sincerity is the ultimate weapon."

"I understand." Ai nodded.

Can you please stop killing?
……

Zheng Yi is not a serial killer.

No, he never killed anyone.

He has no conflicts with others now, so naturally, after others are taken away by death, they won't bother Zhengyi.

Zhengyi was able to enjoy a period of peace, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

During this time, Zheng Yi can also observe the development of his company.

Akemi Miyano's construction company is now on the right track, and she has become more familiar with the business, with various projects proceeding in an orderly manner.

These projects are enough to sustain us for a while, so we're not considering further expansion at the moment.

However, Akemi Miyano kept urging her to see her sister.

It's really annoying. Where is he going to find Shirley?

The newspaper has made the fastest and best progress, having already established a foothold in Tokyo. The next step is to solidify its subscriber base and continue to cultivate the Tokyo area before it can begin to expand.

The area of ​​expansion is Osaka.

Osaka is the Sumitomo family's stronghold, and the support Shoichi receives there is incomparable to what he received in Tokyo. Tokyo was practically unsupervised, but Osaka was much more comfortable.

It's time to go back to the family.

Next up is the entertainment company. Gin is really pushing them hard, even more annoying than Akemi Miyano.

It's just that I took a little money from you.
Is it really necessary for them to call me every day?
It's not like I'm not going to pay you back. Zheng Yi was quite distressed. The film crew had already started production, and the theater chain had been acquired. They were just waiting for the movie to be released.

Although the purpose of making this film was not pure, we still need to make money from the box office.

After all, the original "Ring" did quite well at the box office.

As things stand, although we're not sure about Yoko Okino's acting skills, the director has a gun over his head, so he should be able to unleash her potential and make the movie even better.

If the final product isn't good, Gin will have to try to build rapport with the director again.

He also hopes that the revenue sharing with other cinema chains will satisfy Zheng Yi, otherwise he will have to use his "ultimate weapon" in business warfare again: winning them over with sincerity.

Ai Haibara continues to endure in the Masaharu family.

After the incident with Sayuri, she finally remembered that she was a chemist.

Don't use your weaknesses to attack Zheng Yi's strengths.

Chemists should seek revenge in the manner of chemists.

"Mr. Zhengyi, the film has been completed."

"So fast?"

"We finished it by working overtime, but it still needs post-production," Hideo Nakata said quietly on the phone.

Hideo Nakata was always very afraid of the man who had a gun pointed at him to film him.

Although he was very satisfied with his film, considering it a rather excellent horror movie.

But he couldn't control Shoichi's thoughts.

If he's not satisfied, he might just send someone to be shot.

“I hope the post-production can be completed quickly, because the investors of this movie have been urging me to hurry up. You don’t want to put me in a difficult position, right?” Zheng Yi said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll speed up the production process," Hideo Nakata said.

“I trust you completely. But to help you finish your work faster, I’ve prepared a small gift for you,” Zheng Yi said.

"small gift?"

Hideo Nakata was somewhat surprised; could he really receive a small gift?
"Go and work hard." Zheng Yi didn't tell him what the gift was.

Maintaining an air of mystery is what makes things surprising, isn't it?

After hanging up with Hideo Nakata, Shoichi made another call to Vodka:
"Hey? Vodka, come help me with something."

"I'm busy," Vodka said firmly.

He is a capable member of the organization, not a servant of your Sumitomo family. Why should he listen to you?

“It’s about money. The money Gin left with me will soon be able to leave legally. You’re working for the organization,” Zheng Yi said.

Vodka frowned, and only after receiving Gin's consent did he say to Shoichi, "What do you want me to do?"

“It’s simple, just point a gun at someone,” Zheng Yi said.

These artists need to be held at gunpoint and whipped in the back before they can improve their productivity.

Moreover, a horror film director should be more likely to find inspiration in fear.

Zheng Yi was helping him create a classic.

Once the film is completed, the next step is to consider theater scheduling and revenue sharing.

Naturally, the best treatment is given to its own cinemas. As for other cinemas, Zheng Yi will have to work hard to negotiate with them one by one.

Hopefully, he, who has already gained some fame in Tokyo's business circles, will be treated with sincerity.
