People become saints through meritorious deeds in Tokyo

Chapter 17 A plain business war

Maruyama Plaza covers an area of ​​nearly tens of thousands of square meters and was originally a high-rise building with more than 20 floors.

Maybe this kind of building can only be regarded as a younger brother in Chuo-ku, but in Shinagawa-ku it can already be regarded as standing out from the rest.

Maruyama Club also spent a lot of money to build the square. It originally hoped to use the square to absorb the popularity of the entire Shinagawa District, and then allow the company to go further.

But who would have thought that a fire would burn the upper part directly to rubble, and it would take three years just to argue with the insurance company and send away the families of the victims!

Three years later, after finally settling all aspects and preparing for reconstruction, another supernatural haunting incident occurred, which not only halted the development of Maruyama Club, but even directly broke its legs.

With a cash flow of tens of billions, it is estimated that only a few well-known top chaebols in the whole of Japan are qualified to ignore this money. For Maruyama Corporation, which is in the period of rising career, it is definitely a return to success. Before liberation.

In the past few days, Maruyama Club has tried every means, such as forcibly recruiting construction teams with generous rewards, or trying to find enemies to take over, but in the end they all came to nothing.

Even Aunt Sato from the Asakusa community could talk about Li Qingyuan for half an hour. It is conceivable that this dangerous place has almost reached the level of everyone's knowledge.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan encountered no obstacles at all when entering this unfinished building, not even security guards or doormen.

It can even be said that there are not even homeless people!
"This place doesn't look like it's haunted!"

Before coming here, Li Qingyuan thought this place might really be haunted. After all, according to the tradition of urban novels, whenever the protagonist masters superpowers and thinks he is the only one in the world, he will suddenly jump out of nowhere. A bunch of old monsters that had been hidden for a long time came out, as if some peripheral MOD had been triggered.

Originally, he thought that what he encountered would be the same old routine, but since he entered this unfinished building, he didn't find anything unusual at all.

Although the sun shines through the decaying exterior walls, it looks very dim, and there is a rotten smell lingering in the air. However, compared with the gloomy and windy atmosphere as imagined, this building looks like a normal rotten building. The poop is no different.

The curtains hanging around seem to tell the story of the building's former glory. This building, located at the convergence point of Shinagawa and Shibuya districts, could be called an astronomical figure just for its land area under normal circumstances.

As a result, it is now abandoned like this, which is really sad.

"Every construction is haunted? Where are the ghosts?"

After turning around the second and third floors, Li Qingyuan asked the cracked woman next to him.

That's right!

As a time traveler who is absolutely responsible for his own life safety, Li Qingyuan will certainly not put himself in danger. Before he was going to investigate this so-called haunted house, he had already ordered the cracked girl and the firefly to come over. .

If you really encounter wild ghosts, try to see if you can surrender them first. If that doesn't work, let these two men serve as cannon fodder and make a strategic retreat first.

"no!"

The cracked girl immediately answered, and the firefly demon also shook his head. It was obvious that none of them felt any similar information.

"It shouldn't be!" Li Qingyuan also felt a little strange. It was normal behavior for a fire to burn down a department store, because these days, fire protection is like a crucian carp crossing the river. It doesn't matter which building was burned, it was reasonable.

But as soon as the construction starts, there will be an accident and someone will die, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of physics!
Once or twice it could be called an accident, but every time something happened, it was either really a ghost or someone with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the firefly demon to search for hidden rooms in the building to see if there was any place that was cleaner than other places.

It has been eight years since the accident occurred in this building. If someone is really hiding in the dark and playing tricks, there will definitely be clues.

This dilapidated building has six or seven floors, plus it covers a huge area. It can be said that even if hundreds of people are mobilized to conduct a search, it is estimated that it will take less than ten days and a half to find the secrets hidden inside.

But for the fireflies who could directly ignore obstacles and cross various broken walls and ruins, it only took them half an hour to find the place Li Qingyuan was looking for.

This is an abandoned room hidden on the fourth floor. To enter here, you need to pass through several broken passages. If it weren't for the help of monsters, normal people would never be able to find it!

There are two single beds in the room, as well as a bunch of convenient food and mineral water, as well as a bunch of strange decorations.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Looking at those strange masks and various strange costumes, anyone with a normal IQ would probably know what this is all about!
No wonder high-end business wars appear in novels. They are all about various intrigues, various bankers attracting retail investors, shuffling financial resources and crushing them.

But real business wars are all plain and simple!
Just set a fire and send two people to pretend to be ghosts, you can directly lock up tens of billions of cash flows and bring a listed company to the verge of bankruptcy.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the enemies of Maruyama Club. If you start a serious business war, the amount of money and connections required to bring down a listed company will be absolutely astronomical.

And now?

Just look at these things in the house and you will know that as long as you find two bold and sinister people who kill a person every time when construction is about to start, you can easily bring down a group worth hundreds of billions.

As for those construction workers who were unjustly killed?
How much money does it take to pay for one person's death? Compared with large projects that often cost tens of billions or hundreds of billions, such a small loss is almost negligible!

"It seems that it is necessary to meet with the leader of Maruyama Club!"

Knowing that someone was causing trouble, Li Qingyuan was relieved.

Although it is definitely not an ordinary person who has the courage to kill people and snipe at the Maruyama Club, but for him now, unless he is directly facing the state machinery, no matter what the chaebol or the club is, he really doesn't take it seriously.

Of course, as an ancestral god, Li Qingyuan would not tell the other party that someone was actually behind it!
Telling the other person that this place is not haunted is actually just someone causing trouble. The most that can be gained is the friendship of Maruyama Club and a few million in thank you fees!
But if you help solve the haunting incident yourself, and make your reputation a little more formal, charging the other party [-] million for your hard work shouldn't be too much, right?

As for whether doing this will attract the attention of the state machinery?

Maruyama Club couldn't detect this little trick of pretending to be a ghost. If the state machinery wanted to investigate, wouldn't it be easy?
When the time comes, I will be considered a liar, which is perfect for my development!
