Tou Shanman said calmly: "Do you doubt their identity?"
"Hai!" Kinshan Kenton said: "We haven't seen anything that can prove his identity so far, and..."
Speaking of this, the faces of the buildings near the mountains looked grim, and I stopped talking.
"Jinshanjun, we are the only ones here, there is no need to be secretive." Toushanman said with a smile.
Chikayama Ken said in a deep voice: "There are many Japanese nobles here in Shanghai, but he is completely different from the second-generation ancestors I have seen.
No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a spoiled young man, and I always feel that he is pretending to be something, he is a very sophisticated person."
"You are right about this. Master Kotaro is completely different from the second generation ancestor we have met." Toushan said in a dull voice.
Later, Tou Shanman casually revealed some details of the private conversation between the two: "His control over emotions was something I couldn't do even when I was as old as him."
After Toushan Man sighed, he looked at Kinshan Jiandao: "Kinyama-kun, I know what you are worried about, but have you ever thought about a problem?"
"What's the problem?" Jin Shanjian asked confused.
Toushan Man said: "Why is he like this?"
"This..." Mikayama Ken couldn't answer: "Teacher, please forgive me for being stupid and unable to answer your question."
"The reason is very simple." Tou Shanman said: "Because of his family."
"His family?" Chikayama Ken asked doubtfully.
Tou Shanman sighed: "Because his family is too big."
Jinshan Jian looked like he was listening carefully.
"Although he has a noble status and is deeply loved by the clan leader, he is just an illegitimate son after all." Tou Shanman said.
"And there are many people in the Genji family who are eyeing the position of the clan leader. In order to protect themselves in the current environment, anything may happen to a person.
Over time, I will naturally develop what you said is profound. Surviving in a big family is like sailing on the sea. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."
Tou Shanman looked very understanding and said, "Have you noticed the bodyguard next to him?"
"Bodyguard?" Jinshan Jian said: "You mean his personal bodyguard."
"Yes, that's him." Tou Shanman nodded heavily: "The guard next to him, from his behavior, you can see that he has a strong military flavor.
And he must have been on the battlefield and received very professional military training. This type of soldier basically kills enemies on the battlefield and is rarely seen in the rear, let alone as a bodyguard."
Tou Shanman snorted coldly and said: "If he were allowed to continue serving in the army, he would at least be an officer at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, but he happened to be next to that young master."
Hearing this, Jin Shanjian nodded and said: "What the teacher said is absolutely true. Such soldiers are very popular in the aristocratic circle, and they are hard to find.
Except for His Majesty the Emperor's escort team, it is rare to see a young master surrounded by soldiers of this caliber."
"The fact that the Genji family can hire such a person as a bodyguard proves one thing." Tou Shanman said in a dull voice.
"What's the matter?" Jinshan Jian was speechless.
"The people of the Genji family value him very much, otherwise they wouldn't waste their efforts to hire such a soldier!" Toushan said with dissatisfaction.
"You have followed me for so long. Have you ever seen any aristocratic son who has the ability to hire such a person as a bodyguard? Even though he only has one person, his role at critical moments is far greater than a dozen people."
"Hai!" Jinshan Jian paused: "What the teacher said is absolutely true. The students have been taught."
"Kinyama-kun, you should have analyzed these questions long ago, instead of letting me help you answer them all the time. I can help you in a day or two." Toushan said in a dull voice.
"The way forward can only be taken by yourself. You can't always live under my protection. The burden of the Black Dragon Society will be on you in the future."
Hearing this, a flash of sadness flashed in Jin Shanjian's eyes.
He is very aware of Tou Shanman's body. Once he is supported in his position, everything can only be done by himself.
"But you don't have to panic too much, as long as you maintain the relationship with the young master." Tou Shanman warned.
"You must pay attention to this. No matter what, you must not offend that young master."
"Students understand." Jinshan Jiandu said.
Then, Ken Chikayama asked again: "Teacher, you just said that our cooperation allows him to drive as he pleases. What should we do if he opens his mouth like a lion?"
Hearing this, Tou Shanman smiled and said: "Kinyama-kun, don't worry about this issue. He won't do this and can't do this. Our young master is a very smart guy."
Chikayama thought carefully for a while, and immediately understood what Touyama Manchu meant, and said: "Teacher, is there something wrong with what we do, in case we anger the young master..."
After a pause, Chikayama Ken continued: "That young master does not seem to be a simple-minded person. What if he understands your intention and is dissatisfied?"
"Oh?" Tou Shanman's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you understand my intention?"
"Hai!" Jinshan Jian paused and responded, "Students understand very well."
"Tell me about it," Toushan Man said.
Chikayama Ken replied: "The teacher clearly gave the young master the right to choose the interests, and he can make any conditions he wants. If he opens his mouth like a lion, he can naturally make a lot of money.
But there is not only one Black Dragon Club within the Black Dragon Club, but a coalition of multiple interest groups. If he eats too much, he will definitely make other people dissatisfied.
Because every bite he takes is a benefit that should be given to other people, even if they have already seen that this young master's identity is not simple and cannot be easily offended.
But over time, even if those people don't say anything, problems will always arise."
After a pause, Chikayama Ken added: "If the young master had considered this, he would have weighed the pros and cons and not gone too far.
Because he can't offend everyone to death at once. Even if he has a noble status, as long as he is still here, he will be of use to them for some things.
Offending everyone to death at once will also ruin the family's reputation, and his father will not see him fooling around like this."
"Xinxi, Mr. Jinshan, what you said is very good. You have finally learned to think." Toushan nodded with satisfaction.
"That young master should also be able to see that this banquet is actually about people who share the interests of the Black Dragon Society.
And since he is willing to talk, it means that we still have a chance. Since the young master wants to settle down here, he will naturally not leave after just one conversation."
"Teacher, I'm worried that doing this will arouse the dissatisfaction of the young master." Takeru said worriedly: "We finally found this backer."
Tou Shanman looked like he was strategizing, and said: "Negotiations naturally require back and forth, and only then can we negotiate with each other's conditions.
I have my own sense of discretion in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. As long as we don't do too much, the young master will not abandon us."
Speaking of this, Tou Shanman's tone became cold and he said: "At least some of the people who oppose us have issued some empty promises, but we can really come up with these things.
The Black Dragon Society is still under our control, and this is our trump card. As long as we don't go too far, the young master will not abandon us easily."
"Hai!" Jin Shanjian said without saying any more and nodded.
"Jinshanjun, you should have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow's banquet is the highlight." Toushan Man said in a dull voice.
"The main event?" Mikasa Ken was confused.
Toushan Man said: "Didn't you realize that the number of people at today's banquet is not uniform?"
"Teacher, are you saying that those who did not show up tonight will show up at the banquet on time tomorrow?" Ken Chikayama asked.
Tou Shanman nodded and said: "Yes, they didn't come forward today. It's just because they don't know what our future destiny will be. They will directly support the winner.
Because it is simple and direct, their own interests will not be harmed, but the appearance of the young master will make them reconsider this matter."
Tou Shanman took a deep breath and said: "In short, make all preparations and be mentally prepared to deal with tomorrow's events."
"Hai." Jinshan Jian paused and said, "Teacher, the students will not disturb your rest."
Saying that, Chikayama Ken wanted to exit the room.
"Wait a minute." Tou Shanman suddenly called to Jinshan Jian.
"What's the matter, teacher, do you have any other plans?" Takeru Chikayama asked.
"There is one last thing." Toushan Man said: "Go ahead and tell us that all the expenses of the young master tomorrow will be paid by us and recorded in our account."
"Teacher, you don't have to worry about this. I have already made arrangements before the banquet started." Chikayama Ken said with a smile.
"When that young master goes out for a stroll tomorrow, he will definitely have a great time."
"Well done." Tou Shanman nodded and said, "There's one more thing!"
"Teacher, do you have any more questions?" Chikayama was puzzled.
"Prepare two gifts tomorrow morning." Toushan Man said.
"Two gifts?" Ken Chikayama asked, "Besides the young master, who else do I need to prepare gifts for?"
"Do you still remember the woman next to the young master?" Tou Shanman said with a smile.
"She?" Chikayama thought for a while and said, "I remember, she is a very beautiful woman, and the young master seems to like her very much."
"Teacher, what do you mean?" Chikayama asked again.
"Tomorrow I will pick out a beautiful pair of jewelry and give it to that lady as a gift." Toushan Man said.
Jinshan Jiandao: "Giving her a gift, shouldn't we try our best to please the young master? Why should we try to please that unrelated woman?"
"What do you know."
Toushanman waved his hands and said: "I have never heard of that young master's flattery, so we must find another way and start with the people around him.
Doesn’t the young master like that beautiful lady? We will go to please her. After receiving our gifts, the woman will also say some good things about us.
There is a Chinese saying that eaters are soft-spoken and takers are short-handed. If we take our gifts, the lady will not be able to arrange us anymore, and it will also increase her favorable impression of us.
There is no beautiful woman who doesn’t like those shiny and exquisite jewelry, we need her to say good things about us in that young master’s ears.”
"Well..." Ken Chikayama was a little doubtful: "Is this really useful? I feel that the young master will not let others influence his views."
"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty." Tou Shanman smiled and said: "Even if it can affect a little bit, it will be good for us. Just do this well."
Jinshan Jiandao: "Haven't we already taken care of all the shops, why do we still need to do such unnecessary things?"
"A gift is a gift. They take the initiative and we take the initiative are two different things. This gift represents our feelings." Tou Shanman said in a dull voice.
"You should also take these things into consideration, as they are related to your future social activities, in case you want to ask someone for help in the future.
And that person happened to bring a beautiful female companion, don’t you prepare a gift?”
"Students understand!" said Chikayama, "Teacher, in that case, let's also prepare a gift for the bodyguard. We have already prepared two gifts, and we don't mind one more."
"Oh?" His head lit up, but he didn't expect Jinshan Jian to take this into consideration.
He just thought that in addition to his female companion, Ding Wei also had a loyal guard by his side.
Chiandao said: "That bodyguard is very loyal to him. I think their relationship must be very good. Since I can give gifts to the female companion, I can also give them to the bodyguard.
After all, the guard has always protected his safety. In fact, the guard's relationship is closer than that of the woman."
"Xinxi, what you said makes sense." Tou Shanman nodded slightly and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hai!" Jinshan Jian paused.
…
The next day.
Ding Wei and his party were preparing to go out when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who!" Xu Hu immediately took out his pistol and asked, leaning against the door.
"Master, we have been entrusted by the president to bring you gifts."
A voice sounded outside the door.
"Gift?" Ding Wei felt confused.
"Old Ding, you have done well, so I will give you a gift." Qiu Chan whispered.
But when he heard that he was from the Toushan Manchu sect, he immediately asked Xu Hu to open the door.
The door opens.
Ken Chikayama walked in quickly, followed by three people, each holding a box in their arms.
"Master, I didn't disturb your rest," said Mikasa Ken respectfully.
Ding Wei said: "No, I'm just about to go out for a walk. If anything happens, you can just tell me."
"Master, these are the gifts our president has prepared for you, please accept them." Takeru said with a smile, stepped aside, and motioned to the people behind him to put the box on the table.
"This box is prepared for you, young master." Ken Chikayama stretched out his hand to signal.
"Yeah." Ding Wei responded casually without any emotion.
Chikayama then pointed to another box, looked at Qiu Chan and said, "This beautiful lady, this is a gift prepared for you."
"Oh, am I involved too?" Qiu Chan deliberately pretended to be surprised.
Immediately, Jin Shanjian pointed to the last box, looked at Xu Hu, and said: "Warrior, this is a gift prepared for you by the president of my family."
Xu Hu did not answer, but looked at Ding Wei. When Ding Wei nodded, he said: "Thank you!"
"The gifts for you three have been delivered, so I won't disturb you any more." Ken Chikayama responded with a respectful attitude and quickly exited the room.
Xu Hu followed them to the door, made sure they left, and then closed the door.
"Boss, which show are they going to play and have they prepared gifts for us?" Xu Hu said in confusion: "Forget it for you, I actually get a share?"
Qiu Chan opened the box smoothly. Inside the box lay a set of exquisite jewelry. It was worth a lot at first glance.
But Qiu Chan curled her lips and didn't care at all about the jewelry in the box.
For her, giving jewelry is not as practical as giving cash. Cash is money after all, and she will lose part of the price if she sells the jewelry.
Ding Wei looked at Xu Hu with interest and said, "Huzi, let's see what your gift is."
