Chapter 587: The People of Osaka

After the car that picked up Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived in front of his destination, the man sitting on the passenger side hurriedly got out of the car to open the door for Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was sitting in the backseat of the car.

When Masayoshi Kishimoto got out of the car, he took one look at the place and realized that it was a high-class traditional Japanese restaurant. If his guess was right, there would be a performance by a western geisha.

With the others leading the way, he calmly followed them inside and arrived at a large, luxurious private room.

Masayoshi Kishimoto walked through the door and saw the person he wanted to see. He didn’t even say a polite word, “I’ve kept you waiting”, and directly sat down cross-legged on the seat that he had expected.

“We may look familiar, but this is not the first time we’ve met.” Kishimoto justice believes that every year’s pachinko industry plea above have crossed paths.

Not to mention that it was impossible to pretend, the Kansai Guild side only needed an internal communication towards the East Guan Guild side, and photos and information of the relevant people would be sent.

The person who facilitated this official meeting between the two sides was not an ordinary person, but the general president of the Pachinko Guild. Therefore, Kansai’s side gave themselves what was considered the highest reception.

“Is this your first time in Osaka?” An old man sitting beside the Kansai Pachinko Guildmaster asked casually.

“We don’t even need to speak politely anymore. I came to meet with you this time for no other reason than to deliver money to you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a loud voice.

The moment these words came out, they immediately caused a flurry of agitation in the private room. They did not fail to feel that this brat’s mouth was too big. When it came to money, they were likewise not the ones who lacked money. In the Osaka and Kansai regions, they were also a faction of power when united.

“I told you that all Tokyoites are arrogant and arrogant, and none of them are good.” The old man sitting to the left of the Pachinko Kansai Chairman blurted out.

Masayoshi Kishimoto had known for a long time that the Osakans and the Tokyoites disliked each other, just as the Shanghainese and the Pekingese in China disliked each other. The tradition of the Osaka people has always been very much like that of the Chinese merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who do not much like to work for others, but prefer to do business on their own.

He said without haste, “Let me first state that I am not a Tokyoite. I was born in Kochi Prefecture in Shikoku before I was brought to live in Tokyo by my dad, who ran a pachinko parlor in Ueno, Tokyo.”

Although Chairman Pachinko Kansai didn’t say anything, his eyes were always watching Masayoshi Kishimoto. Even if he was getting old, it didn’t mean that he was just senile, on the contrary, he was getting more and more refined.

Before this, Chairman Pachinko Kansai had properly studied the person he was officially meeting with this time. He opened his mouth nonchalantly, ”The president of the Hard Gold Group, Hard Gold Zaibatsu, is truly wealthy when he speaks. Since you are sending us money, how do you intend to do it?”

“If my use of this one word just now made you all feel offended, I apologize for that. Then I will change to a word that makes you all feel more appropriate, deal.

I need your future support for the Hard Gold Bank, a subsidiary of the Hard Gold Group, to set up branches in Osaka, and the entire Kansai region.

In other words, access to the cash flow of Pachinko parlors in the Kansai region will go through the Hard Gold Bank. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

In addition to giving you the hidden pseudonym accounts that the relationship bank has long provided you with for tax evasion and avoidance, I will also give you a profit of no less than 12% of your annual earnings on this money.

You have worked very hard for this hidden money. By keeping it with me, not only will you have more peace of mind, but you will also have a high return that you never had in the past. Two birds with one stone, why not?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto knew very well that it was often the case that between men and women, it was often the case that talking about love was not enough to talk about money, and that talking about money hurt feelings. Between men and men it is common to talk about money without talking about love, and talking about money enhances feelings.

Talking about money between them is talking about friendship. The price of their own, that is ordinary commercial banks of any financial investment products simply can not give the absolute report.

Annual return of not less than 12% for people who do not understand finance is seemingly very little (compared to overnight wealth), but in fact, has been a lot. This has basically come to a betting agreement between the two sides of the annual interest rate category.

Some of these men who have been in the pachinko industry for decades have a concept of money that is beyond the realm of ordinary people.

The reason why they are in this business today is that they must completely understand financial concepts such as the annual rate of return.

“This is what you call sending us money? It is really ridiculous. With an annual return of no less than 12%, it would be better for me to take my money to a loan shark.” An old man with a face full of folds suddenly burst into laughter.

“You don’t need to say these words of swindling me. In the past, I was also considered a member of the circle. I’m also very clear about what’s going on here.

First of all, loan sharking in our business is a big taboo. In Japan, the pachinko industry was originally legalized. There is absolutely no need to make something that is already legal into an illegal business by yourself.

The result of this would not only be a head-on conflict of interest with the triads, but also special attention from the police.

As long as there was a head-on conflict of interest with the triads, there would inevitably be a firefight between the two sides. At that time, the death of a person is a sure thing, who will die is not clear.

The triads and you are on a collision course. The police then make an intervention, who let you make a big, criminal? This wants to level the two ends, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing.

Secondly, even if you can be a gold master in the dark, lending money to the agent to loan sharks, there is also a high risk. For one thing, there is the fear that the agent will run away with the money or be out of control.

The second is the triad, the police know, but also will not let go. At that time, and then want to level this one thing to pay the price is just as high.

Even if it is done in a very covert and secure manner, it is still necessary to give a share to the other stakeholders involved. Otherwise, others will not turn a blind eye and nod.

Whether it’s the triads or the police, they all belong to the dogs that can’t be fed. If they share out more, then they have less. In the end, doing the work for the money of selling cabbages, worrying about the heart of selling white powder, so why bother?” Justice Kishimoto spoke eloquently.

The old man with a face full of folds was dumbfounded. What Masayoshi Kishimoto said did indeed exist. If not, I’m afraid I would have done it myself long ago.

There would be no need to secretly open accounts in the relationship bank under multiple false names like everyone else behind the scenes. Just as Masayoshi Kishimoto had said earlier, the purpose was to hide the income in order to evade and avoid taxes.

“If both of us cooperate, then your future earnings will become legalized, and you won’t have to do those things secretly.” Justice Kishimoto hit the nail on the head.
