Of course Higuchi Norio did it deliberately when he said those words to Iwahashi Shinichi.
At first, Shinichi Iwahashi proposed the cooperation between Daikuro Maki and Oda Tetsuro, and Higuchi Norio was among them to persuade Ikuo Subo to agree to this cooperation plan.
Unlike other people who are full of intrigues in their hearts, Higuchi Norio considers the most practical things. That is: win-win cooperation with Shinichi Iwahashi is far better than overt and covert fights with Shinichi Iwahashi.
TV stations, record companies, consortiums, and various offices have been established one after another. The TV station industry has also shown its intention to weaken the influence of the Yakuza. In the next era of the entertainment industry, only those who cannot be on the stage will rely on
The operation doesn't work.
With Shinichi Iwahashi's current strength and the shrewdness and ability he has always shown, Norio Higuchi doesn't think that Shinichi Iwahashi will be hurt by such a conspiracy.
Or, it doesn't require Shinichi Iwahashi to break his muscles, he only needs to make him troublesome to bring trouble to GENZO. But there is no doubt that today, if you want to knock down Shinichi Iwahashi, you have obviously lost your chance.
.
In this case, in Higuchi Norio's opinion, it is more in the interest of BURNING to seize the opportunity to attack than Iwahashi Shinichi who is worried because of the young man named Takeyama.
He has always been the so-called "progressive" within RURNING. To be this progressive and to distinguish him from BURNING's consistent barbaric style is not as simple as personally discovering and training a few new people.
To achieve higher goals and more lofty ambitions, of course we need to use means when necessary, but what is more important is the methods that can be brought to the table.
Since Iwahashi Shinichi cannot be defeated, Higuchi Norio is more willing to sell himself a favor.
…
However, are the favors from BURNING’s direct high-level officials really “favors”?
This chance encounter with Higuchi Norio left a shadow of doubt in Shinichi Iwahashi's heart. There was something in Higuchi Norio's words that made him pay attention. The most important thing was that on the night when he attended the reception, that strange man
The young man appeared again.
In this way, Higuchi Norio's words about "appearing around Iwahashi-san" become even more meaningful.
Iwahashi Shinichi had to believe that Higuchi Norio intentionally leaked the existence of this young man, and secretly admitted that this young man was related to BURNING.
But conversely, there is another possibility. Higuchi Norio's approach of exposing this matter is another trap.
However, no matter what the purpose of Higuchi Norio said those words or what his intentions were when he said those words, these must be put aside for the time being.
Because the reply from Inagawa Kai was sent to the record company earlier than Iwahashi Shinichi expected.
Whether Higuchi Norio is a part of Shubo Ikuo's plan, or whether he wants to sell a favor, Iwahashi Shinichi still believes that the really important thing does not lie in these small things. The most important thing, from beginning to end, is the Inagawa Society.
itself.
What was sent from the Inagawa Society was not so much a reply as an invitation. Hideo Fuyuda, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Inagawa Society, was the host and asked Shinichi Iwahashi to meet him.
"Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee", just by looking at this title, you can see how clear the division of labor is within the modern Yakuza organization.
Requests for assistance in film shooting are naturally "foreign-related affairs."
After deciding to take this path, Iwahashi Shinichi made great efforts to understand Ji Dao, and he had also heard of the name Fuyada Hideo.
It is said that although this person serves as the chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the Inagawa Society, his identity on the surface has been cleared and he is the person in charge of "Xinghe Planning", a front company under the Inakawa Society.
However, the Japanese police have begun to strictly investigate the Yakuza organization. It is foreseeable that such an ambiguous gray figure will not be allowed to hold two jobs in the future and will become the subject of key surveillance.
Having said that, a person who has been whitewashed on the surface can still serve in the Inagawa Society. This is actually a manifestation of the fact that the current Yakuza organization has not yet completely emerged from the chaos and has completely completed the division of labor in the modern Yakuza.
There is no orderliness, which means that an agent without a Yakuza background is still needed.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi's current status is undoubtedly a big figure in the entertainment industry. Although singers still regard him as a trustworthy famous producer, to the outside world, he is a successful businessman.
If not, he wouldn't have been invited to join a club for young entrepreneurs or anything like that, and he wouldn't have been politely received by Inakawa - even after he sent him a script that challenged the reputation of the Yakuza.
Under the premise.
Hideo Fuyuta entertained Shinichi Iwahashi as the person in charge of Kowa Planning. From the looks of it, it was an ordinary entertainment. The reception was at a restaurant located in Kawasaki City. Shinichi Iwahashi went there as scheduled.
Such as attending an ordinary reception.
Hideo Fuyuda is over fifty years old, with a thin build, dark skin, and looks like a strong fisherman.
Since it was an ordinary entertainment event, there was no such thing as the legendary young man serving tea and water. Shinichi Iwahashi and Hideo Fuyada, who they met for the first time, met and greeted each other, and the guests of honor took their seats.
"There are many people in our office who are fans of THE BLUE HEARTS." Hideo Fuyuda's voice was hoarse, and his throat felt like a blade had been cut across it. When he spoke, you had to listen carefully to hear it truly.
The "firm" mentioned here is definitely not "Kowa Planning". But Shinichi Iwahashi is not too surprised that the Yakuza guys like to listen to THE BLUE HEARTS.
Later, Hideo Fuyuta said: "There are still people who are fans of ZARD..." which really surprised Shinichi Iwahashi.
ZARD and Sachiko Kamaiike are very popular among young office workers and are also quite popular among middle-aged people. Of course, the record companies have the data on the fans of these bands. However, the little guy from the Yakuza organization will cheer for Sachiko Kamaichi.
The picture seemed a bit too beautiful.
But thinking about it conversely, if you think of the Yakuza organization as a company, the little guys are just young office workers.
Shinichi Iwahashi thanked Hideo Fuyuta on behalf of the two bands. After his kind words, Hideo Fuyuta naturally opened the topic, "Iwahashi-san is a music producer that even people like me know. I never expected that such a
Producers also decide to make a movie one day."
Iwahashi Shinichi took this sentence and replied: "There are always many things worth trying."
Fuyuda Hideo's eyes were sharp, and he was a little unhappy. He felt that this sentence was an offense to the Yakuza's face. - He wanted to try, so he used the Yakuza organization to make fun of him?
Iwahashi Shinichi continued calmly, "Besides, it's a coincidence. The neighborhood where the fatal incident occurred has a little bit of fate with me."
