Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 861 Returning to Fusang, the Dragon King's Crooked Mouth

Today, the port of Edo, Fuso, is bustling with activity.

Over the past six months, this city under the rule of the shogunate was undergoing massive construction, and goods from other countries were flowing into it.

For a small island country that is purely importing, if there is no technology transfer from foreign countries and no sufficient industrial strength base, the resulting trade deficit cannot be controlled at all, and the economic blow it brings to a country is fatal enough.

But the world is different and the times are different.

Today, Fuso is still on the gold and silver standard and has not even completed the legal currency reform.

Coupled with the existence of the dead tide, even if a large amount of foreign goods flow in here, it is limited and controllable.

In addition, the shogunate itself had canonization as a deterrent. No matter how powerful the multinational businessmen were, they could not ask the canonization to endorse and protect their business monopoly or dumping behavior. Therefore, the multinational businessmen did not have such strong capabilities.

Exchanging a portion of the outflow of silver and gold for the construction of modern goods and modern facilities is not a loss-making deal for the shogunate... Only with these infrastructures can we gradually start industrialization and take over some obsolete industries in Daxia.

After all, the Japanese really have gold and silver mines in their homes, and quite a lot of them.

In short, in the eyes of the Edo people, life is getting better day by day.

Even ordinary people can enjoy the convenience of upgraded public facilities, the laying of ground light rail, the construction of unified water supply and power grid, etc. To people in modern society, it is like air, as if it should exist. But in fact, it is not something that should have always existed, just like commodities do not grow on shelves.

At the Edo dock, twelve imported cars were parked on both sides of the road, and a red carpet was laid in the middle of the road, which looked very grand.

The automobile industry is an absolute symbol of an industrialized power. Whether a country can manufacture it, whether it can sell it, and how much it can sell can be used as a median indicator to judge the level of its industrial capacity.

Fuso does not have this level of industrial strength, so cars are absolutely high-end commodities in the Fuso market, and are only available to the powerful and wealthy. Ordinary wealthy businessmen have no channels to buy them. The related transactions are basically monopolized by the nobility and samurai... and those who can import high-end commodities such as cars are usually the white gloves of the shogunate or the emperor.

Cars are rarely seen on the streets of Fuso, and the scene of twelve cars lined up in two rows is even rarer. Such a welcoming attitude is enough to make many people fantasize, but the dock is very quiet and no one dares to approach.

It’s because the people standing next to these cars have the Baifeng Group’s logo on them.

In the past six months, the Baifeng Group has become a powerful new force, and its speed of rise is astonishing.

Its development direction is completely different from that of traditional underworld gangs. Under the arrangement of the helmsman, it began to contract a large number of real estate-related projects and sent team members to Daxia for inspection many times. It has already negotiated several deals and successfully taken over several production lines that were eliminated in Daxia due to backward technology. Currently, the "Baifeng brand" bicycles have been launched on the market, and the sales volume is quite gratifying.

Doing business in Fuso requires background. The Yakuza often come from the bottom of the pyramid of power and wealth, and above them are the samurai and the nobles. The Shiraho Group was able to bypass the infighting circle among the lower-level Yakuza organizations and find a new way to go into business and achieve great success, which was completely the result of tacit approval.

No one helps it, but no one causes trouble for it either, which is already quite incredible. At the same time, the Baifeng Group has also proved its potential. In just over half a year, the business base it has expanded has already covered transportation, real estate, infrastructure, communications, clothing production and many other aspects. It has the amazing ability to become a chaebol in another ten years.

Today, the Baifeng Group has become a large company, and only within the family does it maintain a group of about 300 people to protect the safety of important people in the family.

The silver-white extended rear seat in the car.

"Now that we're here, why don't you calm down for a while?" Mahiru Amamiya picked up a piece of candy and handed it to Naomi Shiromine's mouth.

Naomi took a bite of the candy and squinted her eyes slightly. She held a pile of documents and treasures in her hands. She pushed her glasses up and said, "I'm nervous..."

"Why are you so nervous? The financial report shows that you did a good job and lived up to his expectations." Mahiru comforted.

Minami Shiori also said: "And he won't care at all... Even if you fail, there will be someone to cover for you."

"I just want to prove my worth." Shiromine Naomi snorted and immediately lowered her head: "I'm not nervous because of him, but because... this time, you will bring several girls from Daxia, right? Among them is his..."

Nan Shizhi pointed out directly: "The mistress is seeing the legal wife, so she is so nervous that her legs are weak?"

"Come on, she's a famous lady from Da Xia, of course I would be... nervous." Shiromine Naomi didn't make excuses, but stated the fact.

When facing powerful countries, small countries with few people either behave in an extremely blind way and confidence, or behave cautiously and submissively... The former is reflected in the comments of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council on YouTube that are so arrogant that they obliterate the truth; and the latter is reflected in the fact that in the United Nations conferences, some diplomats and ambassadors of small countries will look at the ambassador of the big country closest to them. If the other party does not stand up, they will have to wait for a while even if they want to stand up.

Although Naomi is the eldest daughter of the Shirafine family, the Shirafine family has long been in decline and is even weaker than the Minami family. She herself is a lady from the Yakuza, and in Fuso, her social status is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person born in the mud.

Even though she is now wealthy and even though the Baifeng Group is in charge of the food and drink of thousands of households, she still cannot change her origin. In the eyes of modern people, she, as a daughter of the underworld, seems to be very important. But putting aside the title and looking at her essence, she is actually the daughter of a local gangster leader, the same as the daughters of some local gangs in ancient times. Her social evaluation is lower than that of girls from decent families.

Naomi looked at the two sisters who looked calm and said, "Aren't you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous." Mahiru smiled gently, her face as white as a girl's was full of luster and elasticity, as if it had been soaked in moisturizing essence.

"I have nothing to be nervous about." Minami Shiori said calmly. If anyone could stay out of trouble in the Shura Field, it would definitely be her... She had never thought about snatching a man, she just wanted to follow her sister and drink the soup.

Amemiya Mahiru comforted him, "They are from Daxia. They are here as guests. We are the hosts, so we can't show our weakness, but we also can't be too overbearing. Since they are your people, they are also our sisters. We should treat them as relatives we meet for the first time."

"Don't worry, if they want to make things difficult for anyone, it will definitely be me. You just need to behave as generously and appropriately as usual. Show your courage in business negotiations and let them see that Yamato women are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside."

Shiromine Naomi said enviously, "As expected of Sister Mahiru."

Being able to treat newcomers so calmly is the true demeanor of a strong person.

Naomi subconsciously regarded herself and her group including Amamiya Mahiru as latecomers and third parties, so it was inevitable that she was at a disadvantage in momentum.

But Amamiya Mahiru doesn't think so. She doesn't think she is a third party who interferes.

At least after experiencing the hot spring night, she would never think so self-destructively again... After all, this was her first love, and they were in love with each other. What else could she say? Not to mention Su Ruoli coming here, even if Jesus came here, he couldn't stop this eternal love that transcended time and space. Outside the car window, the White Peak Group's Wakatoru Kiriyama Daisuke bent down and said, "My two young ladies, Master Nan, the ship has docked, and the gentleman is here."

The car door was opened and Amamiya Mahiru walked out, her confidence naturally revealed in her smile.

"Go and greet them."

"Remember not to say the wrong thing later."

Kiriyama Daisuke and Wakashira Furu Tanaka Rokuro responded with a low "Hai".

The ship docked at the shore of Edo.

The members of the Baifeng Group were on high alert. All of them were elite members of the Baifeng family. They naturally knew of Bai Yu's existence and had seen him with their own eyes. They had great respect for the man who personally changed the outcome of the Baifeng Group's demise and lifted them all the way to the sky. If it weren't for Mr. Bai, the Baifeng Group would have been gone long ago.

Even if these people don't die, their ending will definitely not be good. They will either die directly or become ronin, dragging their broken bodies to fight on the streets, sacrificing their lives and blood just to get a bite of leftovers. How can they live in the sun like they do now, without worrying about being stabbed to death while sleeping in bed, or doing jobs that are despised by others, making money honestly and living with their spines straight like normal people.

If they were asked to give up their current comfortable and stable life and live a life on the edge of a knife, no one would agree. If they had no choice, who would want to fight and kill all day long? Swords are drawn only to protect oneself. After all, only a small number of lunatics can enjoy the pleasure of killing.

They stood on both sides of the road with their heads held high and their hands crossed behind their backs, like guards of honor waiting to be inspected.

The gangway was lowered. This ship was a commercial cargo ship. Only those with specific connections could take it to Fuso. There were only four passengers.

From the dull cabin, three attractive figures that made people unable to take their eyes off walked out one after another.

With the crisp sound of wooden clogs, three paper umbrellas were held up, and the sleeves of the well-cut printed kimonos were furisode.

They walked down the gangway. The one on the left was holding a white paper umbrella with a wave scene from Ukiyo-e painted on it. The one on the right was holding a red paper umbrella with bright red maple leaves and a beautiful woman on it, corresponding to the legend of the ghost girl Red Leaf. The one at the back was holding a cherry-colored paper umbrella. The umbrella was messy, but with fallen petals on it, and the theme was a dazzling hundred flowers.

Under the paper umbrellas are three beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm. They look graceful as they walk. Although they are wearing furisode kimonos, the temperament they exude is incompatible with that of Japanese women.

When Japanese women wear kimonos, because the skirts are very tight and the clothes are very heavy, they usually fold their hands in front of their bodies, then bend down slightly, lower their heads and walk quickly, without looking at passers-by; while these three people walked briskly while talking, treating the people around them as air, and they deliberately increased the width of the hem of their kimonos for ease of walking, and even their clogs were made of hard rubber, with only a few wooden boards on the soles of their feet. It sounds like that, but it is completely false.

It was basically a group of tourists from Daxia wearing fake kimonos.

Amemiya Mahiru was also slightly surprised. She had actually imagined Su Ruoli's appearance many times, but when she saw three stunning women at the same time, she couldn't tell who she was... and was she dressing like this on purpose?

She was somewhat shocked and didn't know how to react.

Minami Shiori was the same. She looked at the three people with a slightly strange look in her eyes. She felt that they were too eccentric... But considering their age, perhaps being eccentric was normal?

Naomi took a liking to it at first sight, and she felt that she really loved this kind of little surprise.

You will appreciate the kind of person you lack. For example, Boss Cao is so obsessed with Guan Yu because he is his dream model, tall and strong, loyal and righteous. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money twice to get Guan Yu, although the second time he only got Guan Yu's hero fragments.

Although the three girls were very dazzling and attracted most of the attention as soon as they appeared, when the fourth person came on stage and walked down the gangway, after the first second of the footsteps, all eyes were focused on the gangway.

The same plain kimono and a spinning paper umbrella.

The paper umbrella is white, with four large characters written on it using the ink-splashing technique.

——Unparalleled in the world!
With the paper umbrella raised, Bai Yu looked at the welcoming ceremony and was quite surprised: "So many people?"

The head of the Shirafine Group shouted, "Welcome back, sir!"

The younger brothers around him all bowed their heads and bent their waists 90 degrees: "Welcome back, sir!"

"Ah... hello, hello." Bai Yu raised his hand and greeted awkwardly. This scene seemed a bit socially awkward no matter how he looked at it. Shit... I just came to Fuso to spend a vacation, why did I start with this scene of the return of the Dragon King? Should I perform the drama of 'daughter living in a doghouse, and in a rage, a hundred thousand soldiers charge' next?

Damn, my mouth seems a little crooked.

It has to be said that the Japanese's second-year syndrome is engraved in their genes. In the TV series "White Tower", the attending doctor walks briskly when he goes to check on the ward, followed by a dozen younger brothers in white clothes. The patients in the ward are like piglets waiting to be covered with quarantine-qualified pigs... If this were a large company, wouldn't the president be looked at and escorted in and out every day when he goes to work?
These members of the Baifeng group did not speak Fuso language, but Daxia language.

So the three girls next to them heard it very clearly.

Su Ruoli raised her eyebrows slightly...return, if it means welcome home, then it can be considered a provocation, right?
She looked with interest at the three women waiting at the end of the red carpet.

She can easily recognize who her long-admired pen pal is at first sight.

Soon the distance was shortened, and she extended her hand to the tall woman in front of her gracefully: "Hello, I'm Su Ruoli..."

Amamiya Mahiru secretly observed for a long time, and was glad that she didn't speak first. In fact, she was not sure who was her pen pal between 'Baihua Liaolan' and 'Surfing'. They looked very similar...

Hold with both hands.

"Hello, I'm Amamiya Mahiru."

Su Ruoli pulled out a small box from her sleeve and handed it over: "Since you came to Fusang so suddenly, I prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will like it."
