Chapter 381: Opening Windows and Raising the Roof(1/2)
"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mao Lilan saw something was wrong with Suzuki Sonoko and couldn't help but expressed concern.
"Xiaolan, I'm fine..." Suzuki Sonoko squeezed out a smile to reassure Mao Lilan, and then looked at Kitayama Koichi nervously, "Well, Mr. Koichi, your grandfather can control him, right?"
Suzuki Sonoko knows that even if they are both lv5, the Grand Master is still among the strongest. Although lv5 is already recognized by the world as the pinnacle of human martial arts, even if there is a difference, it is very subtle, but the Grand Master and the other two lv5 masters are indeed better than the others.
The existence of level 5 is stronger than the others.
"This..." Kitayama Koichi drawled, "Five years ago, the last time my grandfather and Grandpa Xue played against each other, it was a draw..."
"The surname is Xue? Three of the best in the world?"
The corners of Suzuki Sonoko's eyes twitched.
Although Suzuki Sonoko was not forced to receive elite education by her family but allowed it to develop, she still knew many things that upper-class people who control the means of production must know.
For example, most Japanese people think that the Grand Master is the best in the world in martial arts, but Suzuki Sonoko knows that things are not that simple.
Five years ago, the world's top masters gathered together for a martial arts conference. The lv5 masters formed one battlefield, while the lv5 masters formed another battlefield.
There is a clear gap between lv5 and lv5 masters. There is no need to compare the two on the same battlefield. It is only fair to compete separately. The top eight lv5 masters in the world occupy the top eight rankings. The top lv5 masters are
The masters can just compete for the remaining rankings.
The top lv5 masters each have their own emphasis and conflict with each other. It is difficult to say whether they are absolutely strong or weak. It is inevitably unfair to use an elimination system, so a points system is adopted. Each lv5 master must have a duel, and a victory will result in a duel.
Accumulate one point, and the final ranking will be determined by the number of points. This is the fairest.
The lv5 battlefield is much simpler and rougher. The seven lv5 peerless masters present directly engage in a melee. Whoever is eliminated first will be ranked lower.
In the end, the seven peerless masters fought fiercely for ten days and nights, and four of them were kicked out in the middle. In the end, only three of them were still standing on the battlefield. It was really hard to distinguish between the three of them in terms of martial arts. Any further fighting would only be a waste of energy, so they just
If they could give up, they agreed to fight again ten years later and discuss the outcome. These three people were later called the "Three Wonders in the World" by the martial arts community.
These three peerless masters are Beishan Xiongwu, the great master of Japan, "Nanshan Beishui" of the Central Plains, "Southern King" Xue Dingshan, and "Northern Supreme" Qin Huaishui.
Kitayama Koichi said "Grandpa Xue", and Suzuki Sonoko immediately knew that the peerless master who came to Japan was none other than the leader of the southern martial arts community in the Central Plains, "Wind and Thunder Palm" Xue Dingshan.
Oops, this old gentleman seems to have a bad impression of Japan. I heard that he didn’t do any business with Japanese people before handing over the group to his daughter...
Suzuki Sonoko has a headache.
A nuclear bomb suddenly hit the city where she was. Even if she knew in her heart that there was almost no chance that the nuclear bomb would explode, she would still panic. Otherwise, she would take Xiaolan's private daughter... and run away now?
"Um, the person here is Mr. Xue Dingshan, the founder of Shanhai Group?"
Suzuki Sonoko suppressed her headache and asked.
"That's right, it's Grandpa Xue."
Kitayama Koichi said with a smile.
Mr. Haoyi, you are really calm...
Suzuki Sonoko smiled bitterly.
"Shanhai Group? Is it the famous Zhongyuan Multinational Group? I've heard of it too! Many of the electrical appliances in my home are made by Shanhai Group. I can't help it. They are cheap and easy to use!"
When Mao Lilan heard the name Shanhai Group, she was surprised at first and then stuck out her tongue.
She didn't know as much as Suzuki Sonoko, but she had come into contact with many Shanhai Group products in her daily life, so she had an impression of this brand.
Japanese people still have strong national pride for domestic brands. When buying things, they usually buy domestic products, especially home appliances. Japanese home appliances were once the pride of Japan. For a long time, there has been a saying in society that "Japanese people do not use home appliances made in Japan."
Are they still Japanese people?" Such a trend.
But this situation no longer worked after the collapse of the bubble economy. The yen appreciated, a large number of home appliances exported were unsaleable, and the domestic market was too small to digest, making it difficult for enterprises to operate. Although they later rebounded by relying on the Central Plains market, due to Japan's
International politics are jumping left and right, repeatedly consuming the goodwill of the people of the Central Plains. Coupled with the rise of China's home appliances, Japanese home appliances are not only unsaleable in the Central Plains market, but are also being taken over by China's home appliances. A large amount of Central Plains home appliances flow into Japan, squeezing out the small market.
In the Japanese market, the share of Zhongyuan Home Appliances in the Japanese market is increasing year by year, but the Japanese home appliance companies hate them half to death, scolding the current Japanese people for being unpatriotic.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Japan’s economy collapsed after the collapse of the bubble economy. The lost ten years and the lost twenty years are now almost thirty years old. People’s incomes have become lower, but prices have not dropped.
, the low-desire society caused by deflation has made more and more families who are not wealthy begin to use cheap and high-quality products from the Central Plains, and home appliances are just one of them.
For a group of housewives who face living expenses such as electricity bills, water bills, and garbage disposal fees every day at home, patriotism has no meaning at all. Telling them to be patriotic is not as good as telling them which supermarket nearby has a limited-time special price on that day.
What interests them more.
The conditions of Mao Lilan's family are not very good. Her parents are separated. Her father is either drinking or watching TV and chasing stars at home. He doesn't work when he is out. He either bets on horses or plays small steel balls. The family income is very random.
Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. Similarly, if the father is a bastard, Mao Lilan, the daughter, has to be sensible, otherwise the family will not be able to survive.
If you want to live with a lower cost of living in Japan, you cannot avoid products from the Central Plains. Even if Mao Lilan does not deliberately do so, she will definitely come into contact with many products from the Central Plains in her daily life, and among so many products from the Central Plains
Here, the ones she comes into contact with the most are those from the Shanhai Group. They are cheap, easy to use, and of good quality. If you don’t use them, you’d be a fool!
So when Suzuki Sonoko mentioned Shanhai Group, Mao Lilan became more energetic, and she thought of all kinds of easy-to-use and cheap home appliances.
"Shanhai Group, my father's company also has a lot of business dealings with this group. I heard it is a great company! Is there any problem if its founder comes to Japan? Now Shanhai Group has a lot of business with Japan
Is it normal to come to Japan for inspection due to my dealings with the Internet?"
After hearing about Shanhai Group, Kasumigaoka Shiyu also expressed her fondness for this company.
"No, this is not normal..."
Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes and said.
It is indeed normal for an entrepreneur who has cooperated with Japan in many aspects to come to Japan. However, a humanoid nuclear bomb, which is the highest level dangerous person in both the "International Security Control Act" and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' risk classification, simply makes
It's outrageous for him to enter the country, let alone let him come to Tokyo, the most important city in Japan?
No wonder no news about Kitayama Yugo's coming to Tokyo has been revealed. If the upper-class people in Tokyo knew the reason why Kitayama Yugo came to Tokyo, Tokyo's upper-class society would undergo a big migration!
More than thirty years ago, before the "International Security Control Act" was promulgated, and there were no strict restrictions on military personnel's entry and exit from other countries, there was a man from the Central Plains who single-handedly caused panic in the entire upper class of Tokyo. This
The cloud of terror has not dissipated from the heads of those who experienced it until now. Instead, it continues to ferment and become more serious as time goes by.
In the past thirty years, Japan has not allowed peerless masters from other countries to enter the country. This may be the first time that Japan has welcomed peerless masters from foreign countries since that Central Plains man.
Theoretically speaking, Japan can receive lv5 foreign peerless masters, because Japan also has its own peerless master, Grandmaster Beishan Xiongwu, which gives them the confidence to face peerless masters from other countries.
According to the "International Security Control Act", level 5 beings who want to enter a sovereign country must be accompanied by a "monitor" sent by the sovereign country. Naturally, this monitor must be a martial arts master of the same level as the entrant, one of the "Five Five" in the Japanese martial arts world.
The "Four Grandmasters" are all top masters, and Grandmaster Beishan Xiongwu is even more so. He is the only country in the world that is qualified to receive level 5 martial arts masters, but those who are qualified are qualified, and those who come are also among the three best in the world.
Xue Dingshan, the "Wind and Thunder Palm", and Suzuki Sonoko were very worried about whether the Grand Master could hold on.
But as long as Suzuki Sonoko knows these things in her heart, there is really no need to say them out, because even if she says them out, it will not change anything except making people uncomfortable.
In the past, Suzuki Sonoko's knowledge of martial artists was limited to the extraordinary bodyguards in her family, and she would not be so worried. However, after seeing the competition between Yan Kai and Xue Wenhai, she has a better understanding of the power of martial artists.
With a new understanding, I no longer dare to underestimate martial arts masters.
She still clearly remembers that the staff who came to repair the beach asked her, was there a battle between Godzilla and Ghidorah just now? Is there anything else that can destroy such a large beach?
degree?
Of course there is no Godzilla or Ghidorah, there are just two martial arts masters whose destructive power is no less than that of monsters...
At that time, Suzuki Sonoko complained in her heart like this.
Kasumigaoka Shiu and Mao Lilan both felt that Suzuki Sonoko was talking nonsense, but Kudo Shinichi felt that Suzuki Sonoko must have known something else to have such a big reaction to Xue Dingshan's coming to Tokyo.
Speaking of which, he is just an entrepreneur from the Central Plains. Is it necessary to ask the "God of the World" of Japan to accompany him? This is a treatment that even the president of Amerikan does not have? The great master of Japan, even the prime minister of Japan, then
You can’t just meet if you want to. It depends on the mood of the grand master. There is no reason why the founder of Zhongyuan Group should be received by the grand master when he comes. There is no such reason!
Due to information asymmetry, Kudo Shinichi could not guess the cause of the matter no matter how strong his reasoning ability was. He could only turn his attention to Suzuki Sonoko, who seemed to know the reason, hoping to get the answer from Suzuki Sonoko.
"Don't ask, shut up, I'm annoyed, ignore me, get out!"
Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes and said.
"..."
Kudo Shinichi's face turned dark. When did Sonoko speak so rudely...
But he didn't know that Suzuki Sonoko was doing this for his own good. Her curiosity could kill even a cat, let alone a little detective. For other people, Suzuki Sonoko asked herself how useful the Suzuki family's face was.
But facing the Grand Master, facing the "Wind and Thunder Palm" Xue Dingshan, who is as famous as the Grand Master and one of the "Three Wonders in the World", if Kudou Shinichi, a fool, gets involved, the two of them will not like him, and they will directly accuse him of "intentional evil".
If you kill him in name, who can say anything? Who dares to say anything!
More than ten years ago, a famous master from the Central Plains visited Japan through legal channels. Out of curiosity, he visited a certain shrine. He became furious on the spot and killed more than ten main personnel of the shrine and destroyed several main buildings of the shrine. This was despite the intervention of the supervisors.
Under such circumstances, the losses caused otherwise would be even more difficult to estimate.
In the end, the top master from the Central Plains was subdued, but the Japanese government could only send him back to the Central Plains and could not sanction him. As for the dead shrine personnel... they died in vain, but the shrine was destroyed. The Central Plains side should compensate some.
Money, but compared with its historical value and spiritual significance, that little money is nothing!
Although the shrine was quickly restored to its original state after the incident, and the shrine staff were replaced with a new batch, this incident has always been a thorn in the side of many Japanese ruling classes, and the relationship between the Central Plains and Japan has also... Oh
, it did not get worse. After all, the relationship between the two countries was already in bad shape at that time, and it was really difficult to get worse.
The public opinion of that incident was suppressed by the government and the entire upper class society, and only the news that the shrine was set on fire by a Central Plains tourist was reported to cover up the public opinion. However, the incident undoubtedly deepened the entire Japanese upper class society's vigilance against the Central Plains samurai. Since then, although Japan has been officially
There is no ban on the entry of top experts from the Central Plains, but in fact they always shirk the entry applications of the top experts from the Central Plains for various reasons. I don’t know whether the people at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are stupid or their brains were stuck in the nightclub and they didn’t bring them back, but they actually allowed it this time.
A peerless master entered the country, and it was Xue Dingshan who was already quite hostile to Japan...
To be continued...
