Chapter 708 Hero

In the living room of Kazuo Taoka's residence, Du Weiguo sat down cross-legged and felt a little uncomfortable.

Any big shot with some status here in Japan will advocate classical etiquette, which is what Japan learned from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

For example, when receiving distinguished guests, they usually kneel and speak. However, Du Weiguo did not follow the Romans. His knees were too hard and he could not kneel down. Sitting cross-legged was the biggest concession.

Kazuo Taoka didn't care about this at all, and he even smiled and sat cross-legged in the same way as Du Weiguo.

People say that success or failure is in the details. Although this statement is not comprehensive, it is somewhat true.

As soon as Du Weiguo sat down, a woman in a plain kimono with a good-looking face, charming but not seductive, walked in with small steps, slowly knelt on the floor, and poured a cup of tea for him and Kazuo Taoka.

The tea soup was bright yellow with a distant aroma. It was the finest Dongding Oolong tea. Kazuo Taoka picked up the black pottery cup, raised it from a distance, and said in a calm voice:

"Mr. Wesley, please have some tea."

Du Weiguo also picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip, and lightly praised:

"Yes, it's fragrant, sweet, and good tea."

Since the conversation was in English, Du Weiguo was somewhat lacking in words, but Kazuo Taoka did not dwell on this:

"Ha! As long as Mr. Wesley likes it, by the way, I heard Chihu say that you like beef. When you go to Kobe, you must try our local beef."

Du Weiguo's mouth curled up slightly and his tone was calm:

"Team leader Kazuo Taoka, there is no rush about eating meat and drinking wine. I am a laid-back person, but you are a busy man with many things to do. Let's talk about business first."

Kazuo Taoka gently hammered his palm with his fist and said in a cheerful tone:

"Okay! Mr. Wesley is really quick to talk, so I won't talk in circles. I want to cooperate with you."

Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone slightly teasing:

"Cooperation? Mr. Kazuo Taoka, what do you want to cooperate with?"

Kazuo Taoka smiled and spoke calmly:

"Mr. Wesley, our Yamaguchi group wants to open a business, bar, restaurant, dance hall, and casino in Pattaya. Everything will be in accordance with the local rules specified by you."

Kazuo Taoka is the number one person in the Japanese underworld, he is powerful and well-informed. It is not surprising that he can figure out Du Weiguo's heel and strength in Pattaya.

Du Weiguo nodded noncommittally, very calmly:

"Mr. Kazuo Taoka, Pattaya is an open city and welcomes all businessmen who abide by the rules to invest and operate. There are never any restrictions."

Kazuo Taoka boasted half-truthfully:

"Okay! Mr. Wesley is indeed very ambitious. In addition to investing and opening business in Pattaya, our Yamaguchi group also wants to open a new route for maritime transportation to and from Pattaya port."

Du Weiguo smiled and picked up the teacup leisurely:

"Open a new route? I wonder what cargo your group wants to transport?"

Kazuo Taoka also took a sip of tea:

"We can jointly sign some domestic agents with Pattaya to transport Japanese industrial products to the shore from the Port of Kobe, such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars, radios, electric fans, etc.

Then from Pattaya port, agricultural and sideline products from Siam and fruits that can be stored for a short period of time are transported back to Siam, such as rice, latex, mangoes and durians from Siam.”

Du Weiguo secretly thought to himself that Kazuo Taoka was indeed a good person and proficient in business operations, although his real purpose was definitely not these.

But there is indeed nothing wrong with this business. According to his plan, even if he only does these superficial transactions, he will still make a profit, but the profit will be quite average.

The smile on Du Weiguo's face grew stronger:

"Team leader Kazuo Taoka, with such a business and such favorable conditions, the businessmen in Pattaya are naturally eager to get it and flock to it. There is no need for you to tell me."

Kazuo Taoka also laughed:

"Haha, Mr. Wesley, you are the evil god. In Pattaya, you are the uncrowned king. Without your approval, who would dare to do anything wrong?"

Du Weiguo shook his head:

"Team leader Kazuo Taoka, you are serious. I only have a few friends over there, but I can indeed make the decision and agree to the two things you mentioned."

Kazuo Taoka laughed heartily:

"Hahaha! Mr. Wesley is indeed generous, so let's make it final. I wish us a happy cooperation."

Du Weiguo and Taoka Kazuo, two old and young foxes, are making excuses here, but never mention their true purpose.

At this moment, Du Weiguo took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette. The woman who had just poured the tea came out immediately, knelt on the ground with a low eyebrow, and handed him a black porcelain ashtray.

Needless to say, the Japanese women's meticulous service to others is really silky smooth and pleasing to the eye.

After the woman withdrew, Kazuo Taoka suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, Mr. Wesley, I heard that you seemed to have some grudge against the Jiuju clan in Kyoto before."

Du Weiguo slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth and replied calmly:

"Well, it's true that when I was working on Hong Kong Island, I had a bit of trouble with them, and there were frictions one after another after that.

But I heard that they have been fighting among themselves to the point of annihilating the whole family, and even the headquarters was reduced to a sea of ​​fire, which can be regarded as a relief for me."

Ha! Internal strife has led to the complete annihilation of the family. This is a lie to fools, and even fools will not believe it. However, Kazuo Taoka is a smart man, so naturally he will not expose it. Everyone understands it tacitly.

"Yes, the Jiuju sect is cunning and domineering, and it is self-inflicted. By the way, Mr. Wesley, this Jiuju sect specializes in side businesses in Hong Kong Island. How did they get into trouble with you?"

After all, Kazuo Taoka is just a gangster. Although he is well-informed, his sources are limited after all.

Du Weiguo is just an extremely powerful person with special powers, who is both good and evil, walking between black and white. As for Du Weiguo's true identity, he has not found out.

"Oh, I went to Hong Kong Island to kill people. They should have a cooperative relationship with me, so they came into conflict with me."

Kazuo Taoka's eyes flashed, and his tone had a slight fluctuation:

"Oh? Mr. Wesley, your target at that time was Zhixiong, the leader of 14K?"

Du Weiguo nodded and admitted very happily:

"Well, yes, it was him, but he went to Tai O at that time, and I was also caught up in other things, so I didn't succeed."

Kazuo Taoka said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Wesley, to tell you the truth, our Yamaguchi-gumi and Jiuju sect, as well as this Shixiong, also had some unpleasant experiences."

Du Weiguo secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that the erotic drama was finally about to begin, he asked unhurriedly:

"Oh, really? Is it such a coincidence?"

"Well, yes, Mr. Wesley, to tell you the truth, before, our Yamaguchi group wanted to cooperate with General Kuncha from the Triangle Area on a project, but all the manpower sent were jointly strangled by Jiuju Ichimen and Zhixiong."

Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly dusted off the cigarette ashes, and glanced at him with interest:

"What? Mr. Kazuo Taoka, the Yamaguchi-gumi has created such a big situation in Japan now, with gold and silver in it, and they are still interested in the flour business?"

Du Weiguo's tone was slightly teasing, but Taoka Kazuo didn't take it seriously and bowed with a very sincere tone:

"Mr. Wesley, I'm making you laugh. It's not that we are greedy. Our Yamaguchi-gumi is known as the largest gang in Japan, with tens of thousands of members. In fact, it's just an appearance. It's already in danger."

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo was somewhat surprised: "How could that be?"

Kazuo Taoka looked out the window with distant eyes, sighed softly, and his tone was slightly melancholy:

"Mr. Wesley, you may not know that our Yamaguchi-gumi first started by doing loading and unloading work in Kobe Port.

From a few dozen people at the beginning, it has grown to tens of thousands now, and from Kobe, it has grown to cover more than half of Japan.

During this period, the size of our gang expanded hundreds of times, and our business expanded to dance halls, casinos, transportation, loading and unloading, and construction, but it was still a drop in the bucket and we couldn't make ends meet."

Du Weiguo became interested, put out the cigarette butt, and asked softly:

"Oh? Why is this?"

Kazuo Taoka shook his head and said in a helpless tone:

"In the legitimate business within the gang, we have to use 30% or even 40% of the profits to support those greedy and stupid politicians, but in the underground side business, there is no way to support tens of thousands of members.

If it were just like this, we could still manage to maintain it, but recently the Metropolitan Police Department is launching an attack plan against us, vigorously blocking our traditional underground business in various places, so~"

Du Weiguo took over his topic in a calm tone:

"So now you are unable to make ends meet and are in danger. If you don't want to sit back and wait for death, you must find another way to find new sources of wealth."

Kazuo Taoka bowed his head solemnly and said in a low tone:

"In view of this, Mr. Wesley, please help me."

In fact, when Du Weiguo received the good sales and sincere invitation from Tsukamoto Akatora, he had already guessed in his heart that the Yamaguchi group must be looking for him for flour.

Kun Tsa has been frightened by him, so he must not dare to disobey him, and he has basically unified the triangle area recently. A rising tide lifts all boats, and Du Weiguo's right to speak now is indeed very valuable.

Du Weiguo knew nothing about the history of the Yamaguchi-gumi family. He only vaguely remembered that the most famous Red and White Song Festival in Japan was organized by them.

Du Weiguo rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and did not speak immediately. Kazuo Taoka added in a calm voice:

"Mr. Wesley, our Yamaguchi group are not ungrateful people. We will keep 30% of the profits generated from this transaction for you."
