Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"Hey, you're wrong." When Hattori, who was originally watching the theater, heard this, he couldn't help but start to correct the name of his beloved Koshien, "Koshien is a place of dreams, not what you said."

Lu Ren nodded, "You're right. Only a handful of people in Koshien every year can become professional baseball players. The rest go there just to pursue their dreams."

Hattori, "..."

He always felt that there was something strange about Lu Ren's words. Dream seems to have become a derogatory term in Lu Ren's mouth.

"But this is also the reason why Koshien is beautiful. The contestants are basically pure and unadulterated. Youth, dreams, hopes, blood, tears of defeat and shouts of victory. The audience always likes these. No matter who is interviewed, They can all say without hesitation that they are doing it for their dreams. If you go up and interview those professional players, they will rarely say that they are doing it for their dreams."

Heye asked: "Then what will they say?"

"Don't you watch the news? When you ask, you just want to bring glory to the country."

"Forehead."

Lu Ren then asked: "By the way, I remember that there seems to be no female golfers in Koshien."

"No."

"Pity."

"What's wrong with that..." Hattori's emotional intelligence suddenly came online halfway through his words, and he changed his words, "It's okay, after all, there has never been such a precedent."

"It has always been like this, so it must be right. It's not like there are no female baseball players in Japan. Koshien is recognized as the holy land of baseball. Female players can't play a game in person in the holy place they dream of. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Hattori was silent.

"Objectively speaking, female golfers are not superior to male golfers in terms of physical fitness, speed, strength, endurance, etc. But if a female golfer can really overcome these disadvantages, then she can definitely be on the Koshien stage. The best and biggest stage. I think this is a very good and very happy thing. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes. If there is really a sister who can do this, then I will definitely go to see Koshien with you and Heiji."

"Hmm... um. You're right." Hattori was silent for a while, "But it's difficult."

"It's difficult. Basically impossible."

Before He Ye could be happy for a while, Lu Ren directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Not only are the requirements for players high, but the requirements for the environment are also high. But we can start with something a little simpler." Lu Ren looked at Kitajima, "There should be a women's high school baseball game in Japan, right?"

"Yes. Japan's National High School Girls' Baseball Competition. Brother Ren, do you want to..."

"Yeah. It's not realistic to have a mixed game between men and women. Then let's hold a women's high school baseball match in Koshien first."

"This is good. This is good."

Hattori remained silent. As an insider who knows the sport of baseball very well, Hattori knows that Riku Ren's idea is not to say completely impossible, but can also be regarded as whimsical.

In the sport of baseball, those Japanese who follow the ancient system have their arrogance, prejudice and stubbornness engraved in their bones.

Don’t say anything else, just a few words. Although baseball is a sport that does not restrict women from participating. But when high school baseball clubs across the country recruit new players, they rarely recruit female players. Even if they are really recruited, they will not be able to participate in official competitions and can only do odd jobs in the team.

As for the gap in strength mentioned by Lu Ren. Male baseball players who can reach the highest stage of Koshien are definitely better than female players. But in general, male baseball players in high schools are not necessarily as strong as female players.

As a result, they are still unable to participate in the game. That cannot be explained by a simple strength gap. In such a big environment, strength is the best gap to make up for.

It's just... looking at Kazuya's excited expression, Hattori still couldn't say anything to refute.

But if he didn't say it, someone would say it for him.

Conan said, "This is also difficult."

Lu Ren didn't confirm or deny, he looked at Bei Dao, "What do you think?"

"It's difficult, but worth a try."

"Then let's do it."

CONAN: "What are you going to do?"

"Build momentum first. Let the people from Japan Television set out to collect materials now, find some high school female players who work very hard and love baseball, shoot and edit their stories, and finally broadcast them in the form of a documentary. Then you can go to baseball The association should clear up the relationship. Hattori, I am the leader of the Osaka police, so he can definitely find someone."

"Huh? Well, let me try."

"And Conan, your... brother Shinichi's father, he can definitely speak."

"Eh? Shinichi?" Lan hesitated, "But he is very busy now."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't even spare time to make a phone call? I know Kudo is a very kind person." Lu Ren smiled and looked at Conan, "He will definitely help with this. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes. Brother Shinichi will definitely help." Faced with Lu Ren's almost obvious threat, Conan immediately did what he wanted.

"Yeah. You don't need to push hard. I just hope that if most people are happy to see this happen, some people within the association will not jump out to sing the opposite. You can ask your family members to help say a few words and remind you Just these people.”

"Yeah. It can work."

"I am responsible for writing the manuscript. Bei Dao, please help me. Let's study it together."

"no problem."

ps1: The number of applicants for the college entrance examination in 2003 was 613 million.

ps2：2021年8月23日，甲子园里举办了第25届日本高中女子棒球大赛决赛。这是甲子园建馆近百年来的第一次。

Chapter 404 Human nature

I have to say that in some aspects, Hattori is really consistent. This time, what he called was still what he thought was the best car, a police car.

The Maori people were not surprised by this and got on the bus very calmly.

"Brother Ren, let's go first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Goodbye, Sister Xiao."

"See you."

Lu Ren Beidao stood there and watched the car drive away. From the moment they officially arrived in Osaka, their schedule was different from Conan's. As one of the three major newspapers in Japan, theoretically, every major city in Japan has a branch of East News.

Of course there is one in Osaka too. Moreover, the leaders here are very good at handling matters. Not only did they send a special car to pick them up, they also booked restaurants and hotels for them in advance. After a while, they went to Jiaziyuan. They didn't watch from the stands, but went directly to the director's room. The main thing is service first.

The people here have very good attitudes. The only thing Lu Ren was not satisfied with was that his attitude was a bit too nice.

The formation was too big. Pick someone up, send one or two people over, and hold up a board with their names written on it. Now there were twenty or thirty people here, and they held up a big banner. Those who didn’t know thought they were going to pick up some big star.

No, a bunch of people gathered around the banner to watch the excitement. Lu Ren looked at the dense darkness and didn't want to go past it. Of course, the most outrageous thing is the way these people dress. On such a hot day, everyone is dressed in suits and leather shoes and looks like a dog, and they are not afraid of covering up prickly heat. The fat leader standing at the front looked very well-nourished. He was so hot that he kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. Lu Ren suspected that he might faint at any time.

"It's not much better than finding a few girls who dress cooler."

"Brother Ren, what did you say?"

"Ahem. It's nothing." Lu Ren said seriously, "Am I thinking these people are so idle? Taking over personal matters and engaging in such a big battle."

"Maybe it's because you are famous, Brother Ren."

"It's famous? It's better to have a bad reputation. Okay, let's go there. Don't let them wait any longer."

As soon as the two people walked up to them, the fat leader recognized them before they said anything. He was worried about his stomach, and DuangDuang ran over, "Welcome the two leaders to come and give guidance."

As he spoke, he handed over the business card with both hands. This man’s name is Takedaichi, 44 years old, and the vice president of the branch. Also, this tonnage level cannot be lower.

While exchanging business cards with him, Lu Ren asked, "Have you studied in China?"

The phrase "come and give guidance" just now sounded quite pleasant to my ears.

"Shenzhou?" President Takeda was stunned for a moment, nodded repeatedly, "Exchange and study, exchange and study."

"Very good." Halfway through his words, Lu Ren suddenly noticed the business card Bei Dao handed to Takeda, "Hey, Bei Dao, you..."

"I think the pattern you designed is quite beautiful, Brother Ren. I asked Sentoshi to make one for me too."

"Oh. As long as you like it." Lu Ren looked at Takeda again, "I accept your wishes and let everyone else go. It's not easy to wear this outfit on a hot day."

"Yes, you are right."

After a few people got on the bus, Takeda continued: "The president has a scheduled meeting today, and I really can't get away from it. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. Work is important."

"Thank you for your understanding." Takeda paused, "If it's convenient for you tonight, why don't we have dinner together?"

Socializing? Lu Ren was not interested in this, and when he was about to refuse, he found Bei Dao winking at him.

"Okay. You can decide the place. Give us a call then."

"No problem, no problem."

The next moment was spent with Bei Dao exchanging pleasantries with Takeda. Lu Ren put on his sunglasses and began to doze off on his chair. After a while, Takeda sent Lu Ren and his friends to the restaurant and said he would wait outside and call him after dinner.

After Takeda left, Lu Ren felt a little strange, "Is his attitude a little too nice? Even if I have a bad reputation, there is no need for him to be like this, right?"

"No, it's actually normal. In this kind of branch, let alone the vice president, even the president. As long as Brother Ren is not satisfied, you can replace him with just one sentence. To put it bluntly, these people all work for Uncle Sato. Now in Japan There is no shortage of people. If he doesn't work, there are people who do it. And what should I say, if he is fired, then he will basically be expelled from the news industry. The other two companies will not use him. It will support the small newspapers to death. dawdle."

"Ah."

Lu Ren thought thoughtfully, doing this in Conan's world view, Sato Kiyoshi, an old boy, really feels that his life is tough. He also handled a similar murder case some time ago. Isn't this how Haiyuan's father's old friend died?

You might be able to have a meal someday. Good. But there is no use thinking about it now, let’s talk about business first.

"Do you want to talk to the president here about women's baseball during dinner tonight?"

Bei Dao nodded: "Yeah. If we can build a good relationship, we should build a good relationship. Although he doesn't dare to openly oppose us, if he secretly stumbles, it will delay things."

"That's right. You really need to be serious about this matter. Try to get it done at once. If this kind of change or reform cannot be successful at the first time, there will be greater resistance in the future. That will be difficult."

Bei Dao was silent for a moment, "Brother Ren, you don't need to think so much. After all, we are doing good things, and no one will blame you even if we don't succeed."

"Do you really think so?" Seeing Bei Dao nodding, Lu Ren suddenly laughed.

Bei Dao subconsciously looked at his clothes. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Ren, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"Nothing. I just think you're cute."

Bei Dao, "???"

"No kidding. We are not doing good deeds. Really good people do good deeds without expecting anything in return, and we are not. You and I are both journalists. Women's baseball is a pursuit of equality between men and women. .You should know how much traffic this topic has."

Bei Dao gradually came to his senses.

"Whether it's the ratings of TV stations or the sales of newspapers. As long as we do this, there will be no shortage of both, and money will naturally come to us. People who talk about all kinds of doctrines only think about business. You Can you still feel with a clear conscience that we are still doing good things? And even if you feel this way, others will not look at you like this."

Lu Ren turned his head to the side, as if he was admiring the wall of the box, "Those who work for everyone should not be killed by the wind and snow. We can't bear to see that the pioneers who blew the whistle are not living well. This is the compassion that everyone has. . But they also hate to see the whistleblower live a good life."

"'Since your spiritual world is already so rich, why do you still pursue wealth in the material world?', 'If we hadn't supported you in the beginning, would you be where you are today?', 'You can still keep yourself pure after receiving money. ? I’m afraid I wasn’t bribed by capital.’ This is also human nature.”

"Of course, I believe there are still many good people in this world. But most good people are taciturn. What you can see and hear are often malicious and highly offensive words and words."

"So I can't be a good person. I have been very clear about my purpose from the beginning, which is that I can make money from them. But how can I put it, I feel that I am not that bad. I really want to do my best. efforts to make this happen.”

"Once this thing fails, the environment for women's baseball will only get worse. If you only make money and don't do anything, you would be an asshole. You still have to do real things. And I don't want to see one day when someone walks up to me and points. I scolded, "It was fine before. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, the current situation would definitely not be so bad." Although my motives are not that pure, I still feel uncomfortable hearing such words. "

"Brother Ren, why don't we stop doing this. We don't lack the money."

"It's not a matter of lack. When I come here with you next time, I would rather see a group of young and beautiful girls writing their dreams on the court, rather than watching rough men with tight skin cries. Yelled again. This is also my personal selfishness."

"And this matter is actually not as difficult as you think, as long as the relationship is in place. When talking to those people, don't talk to them about gender equality, dreams, and hopes. Just sue them for this matter. Don't say anything else. , they can at least sell another batch of tickets. If some female baseball players have a good enough image and decent skills, they can also promote her as an inspirational idol. Fans’ money is the best way to earn.”

"Do you believe it? If one day, this thing can succeed without our intervention. No matter what it says on the surface, there must be an unspeakable reason: 'Economic recession, we must find ways to generate income.'"

"Um……"

ps: It suddenly became hot. Deadly.

Chapter 415: A Serious Illness

ps1: This chapter is free.

ps2: Some readers said they couldn't understand the women's baseball plot. This is actually normal. The previous Life Simulator and Black Star Cafe in this book also have similar problems. The author's specific reasons for creating these plots are different. If I insist on explaining them, I will write a lot of nonsense.

You don't have to guess whether the author is laying a trap or something. Really not. The author has a bad memory, and he would forget about it while laying a trap.

The reason for writing these plots can be summarized as follows: these plots are what the author wants to see and likes to see. First, what the author likes to see is definitely different from what the readers like to see. Second, some plots do not match the previous personality and behavior of the protagonist. This results in some plots being incomprehensible and incomprehensible to readers.

The author himself has thought about this issue. There will definitely be more plots written for the author himself that are separate from Conan. If I don't write these at all, the author's fun of writing the book will be reduced by more than half. At the same time, in order to prevent the author's own willful behavior from affecting the readers' reading experience, the author will update this type of plot for free in the future, and everyone can just treat it as a side story. The author will clearly state at the beginning of each chapter [This chapter is a side story, skipping it will not affect the subsequent plot. ]

Another thing is that the author has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes the number of chapters to be neatly arranged. He doesn't like the kind of author who writes a few chapters, inserts a sequel in the middle, and then continues writing. It makes me uncomfortable to read such an author.
