American Manga Comes to the Motherland

"Mrs. Suzuki, please tell me, it is said that the Dark Night Star has been stolen by Kaitou Kidd. Is this news true?"

"This is complete nonsense!" Suzuki Tomoko was wearing a gleaming purple evening gown, the skirt swaying gently like violets blooming in the middle of the night, and her chest was inlaid with dazzling gems and dark night stars. She looked like a The Queen, with extraordinary momentum, waved her hand: "Aren't the stars of the dark night hanging on my chest? That kid Kaitou Kidd stole a fake without knowing it, how ridiculous it is!"

"Kakaka!"

The flash kept flashing.

"Mrs. Suzuki, you are saying that Kaito Kid, who has never failed, failed in your hands, right?"

"Yes! Kaitou Kidd may sound famous, but in front of our Suzuki Consortium, he is just a thief! How can the glory and wealth of our Suzuki family be easily shaken by a young man like him?"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little embarrassed. She approached Mao Lilan and said, "Xiaolan, do you think my mother is trying to slap a fat man in the face?"

"Ah?" Mao Lilan said in surprise: "No way, my aunt looks very confident! It doesn't look like a performance at all!"

"When the stars in the dark night were lost before, the despair on her face didn't look like it was staged! Was that time real or that time fake? Or..." Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head and said doubtfully: " Is it possible that Lord Kidd returned the dark night stars to her because he couldn’t see my mother crying?”

"How could that fellow Kaitou Kidd be so kind..."

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

If anyone has the chance to steal the Dark Night Star from Kaitou Kidd, it would probably be him, right?

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

…

In the Japanese-style courtyard, a gurgling stream flows through one side, and the other side leans against lush hills. The courtyard is covered with moss and stones. The dense branches and leaves shade many stone statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the birds chirp.

The courtyard covers a total area of ​​32 hectares and has 29 hectares of permanent green space.

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

The highest peak, the Washihokaku Pavilion, faces east and is located at the highest and most secluded spot of Aman Kyoto. You can not only enjoy the beauty of the garden, but also overlook Mount Hiei in the distance.

"Go and serve Master Bai Ye well!"

Mariko patted Kuroki Hitomi's back and ordered.

"Yes!"

Kuromu Tong lowered her head and responded respectfully. Then, she slowly stood up, walked to Bai Ye's side with light steps, knelt down in an extremely elegant posture, and began to carefully serve Bai Ye's meal.

Byakuya looked at it with interest. Mariko really knew how to choose. The Japanese immortal witch Kuroki Hitomi was really graceful and full of charm... He liked this.

The delicate melon-seed face and snow-white skin all over the body are like the first blooming cherry blossoms, fresh and refined, making one unforgettable at first sight.

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

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

The eyelashes are long and curled, and every time they blink, they are like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, light and charming.

Lip color is pink and moist.

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

She wore an exquisite kimono, with an elegant sky blue background and elegant patterns outlined with golden threads.

On her body, it was like the youthfulness of a girl and the sexy charm of a mature woman, perfectly blended together to form a unique and charming temperament that made people want to ravage her.

"You asked me to acquire shares of the five major trading companies of Mitsui \u0026 Co., Ltd., Itochu Corporation, Mitsubishi, Marubeni and Sumitomo Corporation. It has been vaguely discovered by those old chaebol people." Mariko said lightly.

Mitsui \u0026 Co., Itochu Corporation, Mitsubishi, Marubeni and Sumitomo Corporation may not sound as famous as Sony and Panasonic. In fact, they control about 99% of Japan's large-scale production companies and trading companies, and almost dominate the country's industrial and commercial structure. It is the core force in the Japanese economic system, supports the development of various industries, and controls the lifeblood of various industries in Japan. Therefore, it is known as Japan's five major comprehensive trading companies, and its influence on the Japanese economy cannot be ignored.

Trading companies are a unique corporate form in Japan. The business model of Japanese trading companies is to obtain goods from manufacturers and then sell them to customers. However, the five major trading companies are not just trading companies. Japanese trading companies have slowly transformed from a trading model to an investment model. As long as they make money, they do anything legal, so they are investment companies that also trade!

It is engaged in everything from instant noodles to military satellites, as well as finance, investment, logistics and warehousing, etc. Its tentacles are spread across various industries, from raw material procurement to product distribution, from financial services to technology research and development, everywhere. They not only control the production process, but also participate in policy formulation 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 Japan's economy, demonstrating their core position in the economic landscape.

If an enterprise group has control over the three fields of finance, trade circulation, and manufacturing, then it is like having the navy, land and air force in a war. It is 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 \u0026 Co. - Mitsui Group, Sumitomo Corporation - Sumitomo Group!

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

"They should not dare to resist you, but I am not sure... I have been under a lot of pressure recently, and I am afraid that someone will shoot me in the back!" Mariko sighed and said, "On the one hand, I helped you acquire the most core enterprises in Japan, and on the other hand, I let the Yashida Group take over the AI ​​industry you are engaged in, which is equivalent to letting the Yashida Group gradually become a mortal enemy with many super-large chaebols. If I were not surrounded by many security guards from the Giant God Group, those guys might have hired someone to assassinate me long ago."

Because Bai Ye is engaged in AI social governance, in addition to constantly eroding the enterprises of the old chaebols themselves, such as the five major commercial companies, which basically cover the Japanese people's livelihood field, 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 field of electric vehicles, Toyota's core interests have been directly touched, so that 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 caused by AI is not only about the competition of technology, but also a reshuffle of the power structure between the old chaebols and the emerging forces.

"They are just some jumping clowns, what are you afraid of?" Bai Ye laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have set you as a special attention object in the core program of Ultron. Once you have 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!"

"Really?"

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 enterprise, and even every individual to adapt to and integrate into this new system... Now I let the Yashida Group and Osborne set up a joint venture to develop the AI ​​industry. This is a demonstration and also a chance for those old chaebols to boil frogs in warm water and give them dignity. But if they don't want to be decent, then we will help them be decent." Bai Ye said lightly.

Japan is the domesticated dog of America. Now that the Avengers have more and more control over America, they also have control over Japan.

Some social experiments are not easy to do in America, but they can be done in Japan.

Bai Ye really wants to kill all the old chaebols in Japan, take all their industries into his hands, and then redistribute them to the Japanese citizens... But because his idea is too aggressive, even Ultron strongly advises him to be cautious.

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

But if those chaebols want to resist, Bai Ye will save trouble!

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

Mariko blinked.

"Well, those old guys had better be obedient. I want to control the five major trading companies. If I don't give them, it will be impolite." Bai Ye chuckled.

In addition to their influence in Japan, the five major trading companies also have a pivotal position in China. Before the development of trams, most of the parts of China's domestically produced cars were from Toyota, Suzuki from Toyota, and Isuzu from Toyota; most of the equipment for China's mines was provided by Japan's Marubeni; Mitsui \u0026 Co., Ltd., with trillion-level assets, invested heavily in the agricultural industry chain in Northeast China; most of China's rice crops were provided by Japan's Marubeni... CITIC, Itochu and Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Group, which are praised by China as the sons of the financial field, hold 20% of the shares.

For a period of time, Itochu Corporation took over 70% of China's textile export trade.

The CEO of Itochu once said that compared with Mitsubishi, they only had 1/3 of Mitsubishi's assets, which was still very small.

——In 2023, Buffett bought five major trading companies, each holding about 8.5%, and 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 yen is so low! It's a waste not to 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... trembled.

What did she just hear?

Someone wants to buy the five major companies in the core industries of the six major Japanese conglomerates... Is this kind of thing something that a small person of her level can hear?

Even if she only heard a few words and spread them out, she would die without a complete body!

No matter which side, 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 could not 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 paid attention to this after an actress from the Takarazuka Revue, Sakura Tsuki Noa, went to the adult entertainment industry and used the alias Nagisa Rensei. This is a national treasure-level dance troupe in Japan, and it is like a god in the hearts of the Japanese people. Actresses like Kuroki Hitomi and Amami Yuki all come from here.

"Yes, Master Bai Ye, I have indeed worked in the Takarazuka Revue for many years, and I have the honor to play an important role in the troupe. Please give me more advice, Master!"

Kuroki Hitomi bowed to Bai Ye and said respectfully.

Back then, she was the first pure heroine of Takarazuka.

"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.

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

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

"Hmm..." Kuroki Hitomi's eyes gradually became misty: "There's 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's genes are N times longer than ordinary people's, and some even have telomeres that continue to heal and maintain their length..."

"Is that so? Maybe."

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

A subtle atmosphere filled the air.

"Hmm... It smells so good!"

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

It exudes a faint scent of gardenia.

Kuroki Hitomi's face flushed, she lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as shy as a girl, like peach blossoms in early spring.

Even when Bai Ye's hand accidentally touched the bottom of her skirt, she would only look at Bai Ye with a pair of sad eyes, her eyes were like the lake shrouded in morning mist, hazy and soft, making people feel pity.

"Ah, you look like this, it makes people want to bully you even more."

Bai Ye smiled lightly, pulled out his hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, forming a sword finger, tapped the edge of Kuroki Hitomi's lips, and gently drew circles.

And Kuroki Hitomi was very sensible. After all, she was not an innocent girl. She obediently stretched out her pink tongue, like a lazy kitten licking her favorite food, licking Bai Ye's fingers, and finally put it directly in her mouth... (End of this chapter)
