Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 719 Protect yourself, this is the right way

After bidding farewell to lawyer Sachiko Fujita, in order to avoid trouble, Cao Zhiqiang neither returned to Nakamori Akina's apartment nor went to the apartment where Zhu Lin, Xu Qingdong and Xu Chun lived temporarily. Instead, he went directly to the Imperial Hotel and booked a business room. Then we stayed here.

The reason why I stay in a hotel is that it is relatively safer and more convenient.

Although his secret love affair with Akina Nakamori has not been exposed yet, there is a high probability that someone is already watching.

Until the matter is resolved, it would be safer for him to stay in a hotel.

The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo at least has top-notch security measures, much better than those of an average apartment.

If nothing else, let’s talk about cameras that are still very scarce nowadays. The Tokyo Imperial Hotel has no shortage of them at all, and can basically monitor every floor and every elevator.

Coupled with the number and quality of the Imperial Hotel's security guards, even ordinary private detectives, not to mention ordinary paparazzi, can't get in easily.

Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang stays at the Imperial Hotel, his safety and privacy are absolutely guaranteed.

The only drawback is that the accommodation fee is too expensive, but that little money is nothing to Cao Zhiqiang now.

After Cao Zhiqiang checked into the hotel, he wrote scripts and novels with peace of mind, and once again entered a state of being deaf to what was going on outside the window.

As for the troubles outside.

Professional matters are naturally left to professionals.

He had already written authorization to lawyer Fujita before, and with Sayuri Yoshinaga and the energy from Warner, he believed that it would be possible to solve the problem of a weekly Bunshun, the Bungeshun behind it, and of course the Senate member at the back. Not big.

Even if the congressman sounds awesome, that’s not the case.

In Japan, there are two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members of the House of Representatives naturally have a lot of power.

But if you are a member of the Senate, you can't just say it's a decoration. In fact, it's almost the same.

From this we can see how good the members of the Senate are.

It's no wonder that after hearing the news, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Sachiko Fujita didn't think it was a big deal. To people like them, a mere member of the Senate was not a threat at all.

If you are really a big shot in the House of Representatives, you will not play any conspiracy with you at all, and you will just use your own strength to suppress it.

No matter how awesome Cao Zhiqiang is, he is just a foreigner with some talent.

Whether it is Warner Pioneer, Fuji TV, or Toho Pictures, which is optimistic about him, the relationship with him is actually just a relationship of interest.

This kind of interest relationship does not involve much, and it is impossible for someone to offend a big shot just because he is a small person.

In fact, even a member of the Senate, Nobuo Tomioka from Warner, did not even think about confronting him. Instead, he notified Sayuri Yoshinaga and asked Sayuri Yoshinaga to help him deal with it.

As for Sayuri Yoshinaga, if she hadn't had an affair with him, she probably wouldn't have cared about her life or death.

Of course, according to Cao Zhiqiang's own speculation, Zhou Wenchun's actions probably didn't really mean his death. He just wanted to beat himself up, restrain himself, and give others a way to survive. Don't rely on your ability to live alone.

If you really want to mess with him, you won't be so gentle and just break the scandal.

You know, this was the early 80s, the heyday of the Japanese gang.

The entertainment industry and gangs are generally closely related, so if someone really wants to mess with him as a foreigner, the right solution is to find a gangster figure.

Not to mention Japan, at this time, in addition to domestic, as long as it is a capitalist country, the entertainment industry has an inexplicable relationship with underground organizations.

The most typical examples are Wang Jie and Zhang Yusheng.

Wang Jie and Zhang Yusheng are both typical "God's reward", and they became famous because of their unique voices.

For example, when Wang Jie was at his peak, as long as he released records, other artists would avoid them and not release records at the same time as him to avoid being crushed into scum.

Zhang Yusheng is similar. When he was the most popular, he basically had no rivals. Every song he released became popular.

Some people even say that even if Zhang Yusheng only hums the lyrics without singing the lyrics, a large number of fans will still pay for it.

However, even for these two talented singers, both ended badly.

Later, Wang Jie's voice suddenly broke down, and he finally collapsed and almost disappeared from the music scene.

Zhang Yusheng was even worse. He died in a car accident at a young age.

What happened to these two people is both sad and suspicious.

Let’s talk about Wang Jie first.

Wang Jie later said that his voice was mute due to poison.

This statement is indeed doubtful. After all, there is no poison in the world that can cause hoarseness but does not hurt people. Even if it does exist, it must be very expensive and cannot be easily used on a singer. It would be too wasteful and difficult to control. .

But it is an indisputable fact that Wang Jie lived a corrupt life and was addicted to gambling during that time.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Wang Jie's subsequent poor voice was caused by his own bad living habits.

However, Wang Jie's life was actually quite healthy and self-disciplined when he was young. Later, there are many explanations for why he suddenly degenerated and became a bad gambler. He then smoked and drank all day long and lived a corrupt life.

One of the most widely circulated theories is that Wang Jie accidentally made friends, and under the temptation of his friends, he came into contact with gambling, and finally became addicted to it, and finally got out of hand.

Fortunately, Wang Jie finally woke up and ended up with Master Liang Luo when he was old, which was considered complete.

Of course, these are all things from Cao Zhiqiang's previous life.

As for now, Cao Zhiqiang has never heard of the name Wang Jie in the Chinese music scene. However, his father Wang Xia is a well-known supporting actor in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.

Therefore, if someone really designs Wang Jie, there is a high probability that it will only lead him to fall, and will not play the trick of poisoning and hoarse voice.

But no matter what, when Wang Jie was booming in the music industry, he was indeed a bit arrogant, and he did offend many people. This is true.

As for whether someone will set up Wang Jie for this, it's hard to say.

Then let’s talk about Zhang Yusheng.

If it is said that Wang Jie was framed by someone, it is more or less false, then there is a high probability that Zhang Yusheng was killed by someone.

Because Zhang Yusheng was really young when he died, only 31 years old, and his car accident, said to be an accident, was actually more man-made.

According to later revelations, the person who killed Zhang Yusheng was actually a gangster from Baodao, and it seemed more like a premeditated act at the time.

After the last incident happened, the Baodao police and the media were also suppressed by gangs, so many investigations were dropped and the case was only concluded as fatigue driving. However, the news said that he was drunk and speeding.

But in fact, Zhang Yusheng's life was quite regular during his lifetime. He never drank and drove, let alone speeding.

Also, on the night when Zhang Yusheng had a car accident, he drove a female colleague home first and then drove away. That is to say, something happened while he was driving away.

Just imagine, a person who drinks and drives drunk, who dares to let him drive to drive him?

Therefore, there is a high probability that he offended someone and was set up to die.

The same thing happened to Michael Jackson in the United States.

Michael Jackson is the greatest singer in American history, much more awesome than Elvis Presley.

However, because Michael Jackson was too talented, he unknowingly offended many people, so someone planned to frame him, bribed a child to give false testimony, and spread rumors to smear Michael Jackson. Later, Michael Jackson was riddled with scandals and his career plummeted.

In addition, Chen Baiqiang and Mei Yanfang from Xiangjiang all encountered threats from gangsters when their careers were booming.

It can be seen that using dark means to suppress people is a common routine in the entertainment industry.

Cao Zhiqiang is a foreigner who came to Japan to make a career in the music scene, but he is better than all the local pop singers. Normally, who can tolerate it?

If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't been from China, and the current relationship between China and Japan is very good, with political bonuses, and he also has the support of overt forces such as Warner and Fuji TV, if doing something privately would have too much impact, people would probably have done it long ago. .Now I'm just testing it out by engaging in scandals, which is really gentle.

However, as Sayuri Yoshinaga said, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

The Japanese music scene is very large, and there are many related interest groups. If the situation is not fully protected, there will be some stupid people who want to cause trouble regardless of the situation.

Therefore, taking this opportunity to find a safe place to stay and protect yourself is the right way to go.

It was of course Yoshinaga Sayuri's suggestion to stay at the Imperial Hotel. After all, the safety index here is really high.

As for whether Sayuri Yoshinaga has other intentions, such as finding an opportunity to sneak over and eat, I don't know.

Anyway, since Cao Zhiqiang checked into the Imperial Hotel again, it has become much cleaner.

Anyway, the Imperial Hotel has complete facilities, including food, drink and entertainment. Whether it is accommodation and entertainment, fitness exercises, delicious food, or even beautiful masseurs who will come to give you a high-end spa, it is all a matter of course.

Here at the Imperial Hotel, as long as you have money, you can get the highest enjoyment without leaving home.

Cao Zhiqiang felt comfortable in the hotel, but others were not so relaxed.

In particular, Lawyer Fujita, who has been authorized by Cao Zhiqiang, is running around everywhere these days. He has to help Cao Zhiqiang negotiate for buying a house, find reliable financial investment personnel for Cao Zhiqiang, help him with the company merger, and even more, he has to help Cao Zhiqiang. Fix the upcoming scandal.

Fortunately, Sachiko Fujita is a professional and has a powerful family background, so although there are many things to do, under her operation, everything can be solved in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.

For example, the negotiation with Nishimura Real Estate went extremely smoothly.

After Sachiko Fujita investigated various information about Nishimura Real Estate, especially the debt ratio, she immediately targeted it and used threats, temptations, coercion and inducements, which finally caused Nishimura Real Estate to hemorrhage.

In the end, Nishimura Real Estate not only only asked for 170 billion yen, but also promised to give 5.00% of Nishimura Real Estate's shares to Cao Zhiqiang's white glove-Miss Nakamori Akina.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang only needs to spend 170 billion yen to get the luxury apartment projects and luxury villa projects that Nishimura Real Estate is building, and at the same time, he can get 5.00% of Nishimura Real Estate's shares.

These 5.00% shares are not publicly issued A shares that can only be divided into money but have little power, but B shares that can only be purchased by internal managers and have more decision-making rights.

The reason is very simple, that is, Sachiko Fujita discovered that Nishimura Real Estate borrowed too much money to win the construction project in Kita Aoyama, Minato City, and is now very short of funds.

This is actually a big gamble. Once the bet wins, everyone will be happy, but if the bet loses, everything will be over.

Of course, it’s okay not to bet like this.

If you don't take a big gamble and continue to only do intermediary business, you will slowly die sooner or later in the face of increasingly fierce competition.

So take a gamble and there is still hope of a comeback.

Don't bet, if you continue like this, you will just commit suicide slowly.

From this perspective, the current president of Nishimura Real Estate is still very courageous.

Now, Cao Zhiqiang, a big benefactor, is willing to give money in advance. This is definitely a life-saving straw, which can greatly alleviate the money shortage of West Village real estate.

In addition, big benefactors like Cao Zhiqiang who are rich but don't like to interfere in specific affairs are indeed suitable to win over.

If Cao Zhiqiang's agent can be brought into the decision-making level of West Village Real Estate by taking a step back, it will undoubtedly be of huge benefit to the future development of West Village Real Estate.

The president of Nishimura Real Estate thought so entirely because of Sachiko Fujita's hint.

Because Fujita Sachiko privately told the president of Nishimura Real Estate that Cao Zhiqiang was a white glove member of a large family in China, with huge financial support behind him. This time he came to Japan, nominally to inspect projects and introduce foreign investment. In fact, the real purpose was to quietly Come and invest in Japan.

Regarding this kind of thing, the president of Nishimura Real Estate immediately believed it.

The reason is very simple, that is, the Chinese can easily take out 200 billion yen worth of cash, and also give it in US dollars. There is definitely someone behind this, otherwise it would be impossible to do this.

It is out of these considerations that Nishimura Real Estate agreed to let Cao Zhiqiang’s white glove, Miss Nakamori Akina, become an internal shareholder of Nishimura Real Estate, and use the best price to sell those projects under construction to Cao Zhiqiang’s white glove, Nakamori Akina. Miss.

In this way, if funds come in again in the future, their West Village Real Estate will definitely be the first to benefit.

As for whether there will be any problems here.

Sure, as long as the money is in place, what's the problem?
They are just a real estate company that builds houses, not a manufacturing unit that involves confidentiality, so they don't have to worry about these things at all.

In fact, Japanese real estate companies during this period had an endless demand for foreign capital. Basically, no matter what kind of foreign capital they came to, they would all come.

If not for this, the subsequent economic bubble would not have expanded like that.

After settling Nishimura Real Estate, the merger of Aiyin Office was also completed smoothly.

Lawyer Fujita personally took action and solved the equity structure problem in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.

In addition to solving these problems, Lawyer Fujita also found a more professional professional manager and used his richer management experience to reorganize the business models of Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo.

To put it simply, it is to eliminate the essentials and keep the essentials, streamline the troops and streamline administration, remove all redundant managers and redundant departments, leaving only the most useful departments, and use this method to increase revenue and reduce expenditures.

As a result of the professional manager's actions, the two brands Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo were merged at the management level, and were merged into the clothing department under Aiyin Office for unified management.

In other words, although Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo are two brands, their management is unified under the jurisdiction of the clothing department of Aiyin Office. This avoids the problem of multiple departments and reduces the number of employees. investment in personnel salaries.

There are also foundries, and we have also found cheaper ones, which can also reduce expenses.

In terms of specialty stores, we have not blindly expanded and maintained the status quo. However, we have negotiated with several large shopping malls about special counters and will set up several display counters in large shopping malls in the future.

This method of renting counters in large shopping malls requires less investment and quick results, which is much more cost-effective than investing in specialty stores.

There is also the matter of laundering investments. Lawyer Fujita also introduced Cao Zhiqiang to a professional American accountant who could help Cao Zhiqiang to use offshore funds such as the Cayman Islands through legal channels. The company moved it to Tokyo bit by bit, and then laundered it into legal assets.

The method is also very simple, that is, making up fabricated clothing orders and investing in real estate.

Doesn’t Cao Zhiqiang own Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo Clothing? As long as he spends his own money to import large quantities of Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo Clothing through fictitious overseas companies, he can lose a small amount of handling fees and taxes. Launder those overseas funds from unknown sources into normal income that can be consumed reasonably.

In addition, tapes and video tapes can also be used in this way.

However, the results of these methods are relatively slow, and the scale cannot be too large. After all, whether it is clothes or audio-visual products, they are not too expensive in themselves, and the total quantity is limited.

Even though Sensen Clothing and Uniqlo Clothing are positioned as luxury goods, they are priced at that level and cannot be too outrageous.

On the other hand, investing in a real estate company is a method you can try.

As long as it is not a company that requires public offering of shares and discloses all share information, but a limited company, it can consume funds from unknown sources through overseas capital injection.

Of course, this method is only useful now. If it were after the 90s and Japan strengthened financial controls, it would not be able to use it anymore.

However, at this stage, due to the suppression and threats from the United States, Japan does not dare to implement strict financial controls. This has brought the greatest convenience to foreign capital's free entry and exit into Japan.

As long as foreign capital can enter and exit freely, there will naturally be no problem of checking the source of funds.

In fact, the essence of Japan's subsequent economic bubble and the Asian financial crisis that began in Thailand was because they did not have strict financial controls.

As long as a country can achieve strict financial control, it will be difficult for foreign capital to succeed.

After all, the power of capital cannot resist the government.

In fact, the current Japanese government is not unaware of the risks faced by such a free and loose financial policy, nor is it unwilling to engage in financial controls.

But there is no way, who let the Neon Country have no say?

Since sovereignty is in other people's hands and there are other people's troops stationed locally, don't mention the word sovereignty.

Since you are unable to resist your father, isn't it normal for him to push you down and cut leeks?
