The Motherland Comes to the United States

"Mrs. Suzuki, may I ask, it is said that the Dark Night Star has been stolen by Kaito Kidd. Is this news true?"

"This is complete nonsense!" Suzuki Tomoko was wearing a radiant purple evening gown, the hem of her skirt swaying gently like a violet blooming in the night. Her chest was inlaid with a dazzling gem, the Dark Night Star. She looked like an empress, with extraordinary momentum. She waved her hand and said, "Isn't the Dark Night Star hanging on my chest? That kid Kaito Kid stole a fake without knowing it. How ridiculous!"

"Kakaka!"

The flash kept flashing.

"Mrs. Suzuki, you mean that the Kaito Kidd, who has never failed before, failed in your hands, right?"

"That's right! Kaito Kidd only sounds famous, but in front of our Suzuki Group, he is just a mere thief! How can a villain like him easily shake the glory and wealth of our Suzuki family?"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little embarrassed. She moved closer to Mao Lilan and said, "Xiaolan, do you think my mother is just trying to get ahead of the fat guy?"

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was surprised: "No way, Auntie looks very confident! It doesn't look like she is acting at all!"

"When the Dark Night Star was lost, the look of despair on her face didn't seem like an act! Was that real and that fake? Or..." Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Mr. Kidd couldn't bear to see my mother cry and was sad, so he returned the Dark Night Star to her!"

"How could that Kaito Kidd be so kind..."

Conan curled his lips, but suddenly thought of something and looked at Bai Ye.

If anyone had the chance to swap the Dark Night Star from Kaito Kidd, it would probably be him, right?

Bai Ye looked at the high-spirited Suzuki Tomoko. When Suzuki Tomoko turned her gaze, she winked at her, then laughed and left.

……

In the Japanese garden, a gurgling stream flows through on one side, and on the other side is a lush and verdant hill. The courtyard is covered with mossy stones, and dense branches and leaves shade many stone statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and birds are singing.

The total area of ​​the gardens is 32 hectares, with 29 hectares of permanent green space.

It is filled with red maple and cypress trees, which change colors with the seasons.

The highest Washigamine-kaku Pavilion faces east and is located in the highest and most secluded place of Aman Kyoto. You can enjoy the beauty of the garden and overlook the distant Mount Hiei.

"Go ahead and serve Master Bai Ye well!"

Mariko patted Kuroki Hitomi's back and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Kuroki Hitomi lowered her head and responded respectfully. Then, she slowly stood up, walked lightly to Bai Ye's side, knelt down in an extremely elegant posture, and began to serve Bai Ye meal carefully.

Bai Ye looked at her with interest. Mariko really knew how to choose. The Japanese immortal witch Hitomi Kuroki was indeed graceful and full of charm... He liked her.

She has an exquisite oval face and snow-white skin, just like the first blossoming cherry blossoms, fresh and refined, unforgettable at first sight.

Her long, shiny black hair fell smoothly to her waist like a waterfall. Occasionally, a few strands of hair gently brushed across her fair cheeks, adding a bit of casual charm to her.

Her eyes were clear and bright, like a clear stream in the mountains.

Her eyelashes are long and curled, and every blink is like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, light and charming.

The lips are pink and moist.

The legs are strong and toned, with smooth and graceful lines.

She was wearing an exquisite kimono with a light sky blue base and elegant patterns outlined with golden threads.

In her body, the innocence of a young girl and the sexiness and charm of a mature woman are perfectly blended together, forming a unique and charming temperament that makes people want to ravage her.

"You asked me to acquire shares of the five major trading companies, Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corporation, Mitsubishi, Marubeni and Sumitomo Corporation. This has been vaguely discovered by those old chaebols." Mariko said lightly.

Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corporation, Mitsubishi, Marubeni and Sumitomo Corporation may not sound as famous as Sony and Panasonic, but in fact, they control about 99% of Japan's large manufacturing companies and trading companies, almost dominate the country's industrial and commercial landscape. They are the core force in Japan's economic system, supporting the development of various industries and holding the lifeline of various industries in Japan. Therefore, they are known as Japan's five major comprehensive trading companies, and their influence on the Japanese economy cannot be ignored.

A trading company is a unique form of business in Japan. The business model of a Japanese trading company is to get goods from manufacturers and then sell them to customers. However, the five major trading companies are not just trading companies. Japanese trading companies have gradually changed from a trading model to an investment model. As long as they can make money and are legal, they will do anything. So they are investment companies that also do trading!
They are involved in everything from instant noodles to military satellites, as well as finance, investment, logistics and warehousing. They are present in all industries, from raw material procurement to product distribution, from financial services to technology research and development. They not only control the production process, but also participate in policy making and market dynamics, and have a significant impact on markets in Japan and abroad. Their business strategies and decisions can often influence the direction of the Japanese economy, showing their core position in the economic landscape.

If a business group has control over the three fields of finance, trade circulation, and manufacturing, it would be like owning the navy, army, and air force in war; it would be incredible!
And behind them are still the six major financial groups, Itochu Corporation - Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank Group, Marubeni - Furong Group, Mitsubishi Corporation - Mitsubishi Group, Mitsui & Co. - Mitsui Group, Sumitomo Corporation - Sumitomo Group!

"So?" Bai Ye asked with a smile, "What if they know? Will they still dare to resist?"

"They probably won't dare to resist you, but I'm not sure... I've been under a lot of pressure lately, afraid someone might be stabbing me in the back!" Mariko sighed and said, "On the one hand, I'm helping you acquire the most core companies in Japan, and on the other hand, I'm letting the Yashida Group take over the AI ​​industry you're developing. This is equivalent to making the Yashida Group gradually become a mortal enemy of several super-large chaebols. If I didn't have a lot of security guards from the Giant God Group around me, those guys might have hired someone to assassinate me a long time ago."

Because Bai Ye is engaged in AI social governance, in addition to constantly encroaching on the businesses of the old chaebols, such as the five major trading companies, which basically cover the Japanese people's livelihood sectors, on the other hand, he has set off a technological revolution in Japan, and the old chaebols have felt unprecedented pressure.

For example, in the electric vehicle field, Toyota's core interests have been directly affected, and Toyota, as the overlord of oil vehicles, is facing unprecedented challenges in its market share and profit margins.

In addition, his projects not only cover trams, mobile payments, taxi services, local life services and many other fields... This business war triggered by AI is not only about a technological contest, but also a reshuffle of the power structure between old-established chaebols and emerging forces.

"They are just some clowns, why are you afraid?" Bai Ye laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have set you as a special focus object in Ultron's core program. Once you show signs of being attacked, Ultron will immediately notify you and send the Iron Legion to protect you. In the sky above Japan, there are at least hundreds of Iron Armor on standby at all times!"

"real or fake?"

Mariko blinked. "Why would I lie to you? Perhaps anyone with a discerning eye can see that sooner or later the Earth will establish a unified Earth Federation to carry out AI social governance and completely abandon the inefficient and corrupt human-ruled society of the past. This is an unprecedented change that requires every country, every company, and even every individual to adapt to and integrate into this new system... Now I am letting the Yashida Group and Osborne establish a joint venture to develop the AI ​​industry. This is a demonstration and also a chance for those old chaebols to be boiled like frogs in warm water and give them dignity. But if they don't want to be decent, then we will just help them be decent." Bai Ye said lightly.

Japan is the domesticated pet dog of America. Now that the Avengers have an increasingly stronger control over America, they also have control over Japan.

Some social experiments are difficult to conduct in the United States, but they can be tried in Japan.

Bai Ye really wanted to wipe out all of Japan's old chaebols, take over their industries, and then make secondary distributions to the Japanese people...but his ideas were too aggressive, and even Ultron tried his best to persuade him to be cautious.

Maybe... he didn't really treat the Japanese as human beings.

But if those chaebols want to resist, that would be a good thing for Bai Ye!

"Well, I'll think of a way to force them..."

Mariko blinked.

"Well, those old guys better listen to me. I want control over the five major trading companies. If you don't give it to me, that would be impolite." Bai Ye chuckled.

In addition to their influence in Japan, the Big Five Commercial Companies also hold a pivotal position in China. Before the development of electric vehicles, most of the parts for China's domestically produced cars were from Toyota, Suzuki was from Toyota, and Isuzu was from Toyota; most of the equipment for China's mines was provided by Japan's Marubeni; Mitsui & Co., with trillions of assets, has made a large-scale investment in the agricultural industry chain in Northeast China; most of China's rice crops are provided by Japan's Marubeni... CITIC, Itochu and Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Group, which are hailed as China's own sons in the financial field, hold a 20% stake.

At one time, companies like Itochu Corporation accounted for 70% of China's textile export trade.

The CEO of Itochu once said that compared with Mitsubishi, their assets are only 1/3 of Mitsubishi's, which is still very small.

——In 2023, Buffett bought five major trading companies, each holding about 8.5%, but Bai Ye was much greedier than Buffett, he wanted at least 51%! Moreover, Bai Ye did not give cash, but borrowed money from the Bank of Japan to increase his holdings in the five major trading companies! Anyway, the interest rate of the Japanese yen is so low! It would be a waste if he didn't borrow!
After chatting with Mariko about how to deal with the five major companies, Bai Ye's attention gradually shifted to Kuroki Hitomi.

Kuroki Hitomi... just trembled.

What did she just hear?
Someone wants to buy five of the core industries of Japan's six major financial groups... Is this something that a small person of her level can listen to?
Even if she only heard a few words and leaked them out, she would be killed without a complete body!

No matter which side it is, she absolutely cannot afford to offend them. Pulling out a hair can crush her to death!

At this time, Kuroki Hitomi probably knew that she would definitely become a canary of a big shot and would not be able to escape.

"Ms. Kuroki Hitomi, I heard that you are from the Takarazuka Revue, right?" Bai Ye asked with a smile.

Speaking of which, Bai Ye only started paying attention to this after an actress from the Takarazuka Revue, Sakurazuki Noa, went into adulthood and changed her name to Nagisa Koisei. This is Japan's national treasure-level musical and dance troupe, and they are like gods in the hearts of the Japanese people. Serious actresses such as Kuroki Hitomi and Amami Yuki all came from here.

"Yes, Master Bai Ye, I have indeed worked in the Takarazuka Revue for many years and have had the honor of playing an important role in the troupe. I would like to ask for your guidance--!"

Kuroki Hitomi bowed towards Bai Ye and said respectfully.

Back then, she was the number one heroine of Takarazuka Junjou.

"That's definitely no problem."

Bai Ye reached out and touched Kuroki Hitomi's waist, which was very thin and soft.

Kuroki Hitomi trembled all over, but did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

"You have a great figure and nice skin. How do you maintain it?" Bai Ye asked curiously.

Anyway, Bai Ye has never seen a woman who is better maintained than her.

“Hmm…” Kuroki Hitomi’s eyes gradually became misty: “Nothing special, I just… do what I like…”

She herself couldn't explain it.

"That's probably genetics." Bai Ye said with a smile, "Some people are born with telomeres that are N times longer than an average person's. Some even have telomeres that heal themselves and maintain their length..."

"Is that so? Maybe."

Kuroki Hitomi's body gradually softened, and she leaned towards Bai Ye involuntarily along his arm.

There was a subtle atmosphere in the air.

“Mmm…it smells so good!”

Bai Ye Bai Ye gently took a deep sniff of Kuroki Hitomi's hair.

It has a light gardenia scent.

A blush appeared on Kuroki Hitomi's face. She lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently, like the shyness of a girl, like peach blossoms in early spring.

Even when Bai Ye's hand accidentally slipped under her skirt, she would only look at Bai Ye with a pair of sad eyes. Her eyes were like the surface of a lake shrouded in morning mist, hazy and soft, which made people feel pity for her.

"Ah, the way you look makes people want to bully you even more."

Bai Ye smiled gently, pulled out his hand, put his index finger and middle finger together to form a sword finger, touched it to Kuroki Hitomi's lips, and gently drew circles.

And Kuroki Hitomi was very sensible. After all, she was no longer an innocent girl. She obediently stretched out her pink tongue and licked Bai Ye's fingers like a lazy kitten, and finally put it directly in her mouth... (End of this chapter)
