On the same day, almost at the same time, another branch of Danmiya Restaurant near Osaka's Shinsaibashi area, which had just opened, also welcomed a group of troublesome yakuza.
However, just as the two cities of Kyoto and Osaka are full of cultural differences, although both Kyoto and Osaka are the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the people who come to the door to provoke are all Yamaguchi-gumi people, the behavior styles of the two places are still very different. Big difference.
Although the people from Kyoto came in large numbers, their methods were more civilized and they did not accomplish everything at once.
It can even be communicated through words.
As for the Yamaguchi-gumi members here in Osaka, not many people came, only seven of them, sitting at a round table.
But the methods they adopted were much more extreme and vile.
I bet they made the attack in front of everyone when the restaurant was almost full at noon, and they specifically targeted the food safety issues of Tan Gong Restaurant.
At that time, the group ordered a table of expensive dishes and expensive drinks.
But just when it was time to pay the bill after eating and drinking, the people at this table started to get angry.
Just like the routine of eating a king's meal, they shouted in public that they had eaten cockroaches.
Li Guotao, the Chinese person in charge here, also comes from a special department and has excellent qualities.
Although he had received the news in advance and was prepared, as soon as he realized that something was wrong, he and the Japanese manager immediately stepped forward to control the situation and tried their best to comfort him.
But it is a pity that because the other party was determined to cause trouble deliberately and refused to accept an apology or negotiate with them privately, it still failed to effectively prevent the situation from continuing to escalate.
The other party even deliberately yelled in the front hall of the restaurant to spread the word about the restaurant's food hygiene problems to the guests.
As a result, the situation that day was almost completely out of control.
In the end, not only did they scare away dozens of tables of customers in the store, and the bill was not settled for a penny, the group even took action and smashed the restaurant to vent their anger.
In short, the Danmiya branch in Osaka has suffered heavy losses, not only financially, but also reputationally.
Fortunately, when Li Guotao smashed the restaurant in these Yakuzas, he ordered all the people in the restaurant to stay away as soon as possible.
They neither interfere nor block, nor entangle with the other party. They are only responsible for evacuating the customers as quickly as possible and calling the police.
Therefore, neither the guests in the store nor the restaurant staff were injured, which is fortunate among the misfortunes.
Otherwise, they will not only cause greater trouble, but the losses will be incalculable.
But then again, even though the Osaka branch suffered such a blow and suffered such a big loss, after all, Ning Weimin had already anticipated the enemy.
In fact, he was far more prepared than ordinary people could imagine.
Therefore, even if he encounters a relatively bad situation that he does not want to see happen, the development of the matter is still not out of his calculation and control.
It can be said that this round in Osaka may not be a complete defeat for him, as it really allowed the opponent to take advantage.
For no other reason than because Ning Weimin vaccinated the heads of these branches in advance and told them what situations might arise and how to deal with them.
He also bought expensive property insurance for several branches of Nippon Insurance Company, Japan's largest property insurance company.
Even after buying insurance, he asked the heads of several branches to replace some of the outflow antiques he bought from Japan, which were originally good items for shop decoration, into inferior items of much different quality, or even imitations. Taste.
In exchange for the Japanese paintings he bought from Masahiro Mihara at a high price in order to win a prize for Teresa Teng, some of them were sent to restaurants in Kyoto and Osaka, where they were hung for decoration.
It is prepared to be destroyed.
What is this called?
This is called fishing in troubled waters and diverting trouble to the east.
In this way, it is not a bad thing that the Danmiya branch in Osaka was smashed to pieces by the other party.
First, Ning Weimin could obtain a huge claim settlement from Nichido Insurance Company to make up for the economic losses he suffered.
Second, he can also use the power of Nichido Insurance Company to indirectly retaliate against his enemies.
In fact, who is really unlucky in this offensive and defensive battle involving the restaurant?
It is the largest property and casualty insurance company in Japan.
They were the ones who suffered an unreasonable disaster. They were completely confused and buried in a hole dug by Ning Weimin.
However, who is to say that they are a Japanese company, or the largest property and casualty insurance company? If not, who will they cheat?
It’s not a shame.
As for the damage assessment of the lantern, it went very smoothly.
Anyway, antiques, porcelain, etc., because they are all Chinese things, the Japanese have no idea how much they cost.
Ning Weimin had the final say on pricing at the beginning.
They couldn't tell whether it was smashed or not, whether it was broken or not, and which ones were broken.
According to the procedure, as long as there is a damaged item that matches the original insurance policy, they have to pay for it.
There is also the antique porcelain tableware that Ning Weimin brought from China. Because it had to be tax deducted in Japan, the customs declaration price was also very high. In fact, all the profits were kept in China, and now the insurance companies were footing the bill.
There are also those destroyed Japanese paintings. Since they were traded from Masahiro Mihara, and the art market is booming now, with the evidence of a senior socialite like him, it is easier for insurance companies to believe that they just want to pick up the pieces. Can't find fault with it.
In short, according to the final calculation, according to the contract, the insurance company will pay Ning Weimin about 730 million yen.
This transaction caused Nichido Insurance Company to lose so much money that it almost vomited blood.
When I think about it, something like this happened not even a month after Ning Weimin signed up for insurance. How could the insurance company be willing to pay compensation? How could it not be suspicious?
It must be investigated. Go all out to investigate strictly!
And you have to put pressure on the police.
However, Ning Weimin was completely innocent. He did not conspire with anyone, he just made clever use of his enemies.
Therefore, no matter what Nichido Insurance Company did, the victim was still sure to be taken advantage of, and Ning Weimin made a small fortune.
Not only did they have enough money to renovate the dilapidated restaurant, but they even made a profit in March.
To put it bluntly, if you can do this all the time, it would be more suitable than opening a restaurant.
So since they suffered such a big loss, how could Nichido Insurance Company just let it go? How could they not bear grudges against the people who caused them to lose money?
Even the Yamaguchi-gumi probably couldn't withstand the anger of Japan's Daiichi Insurance Company and the pressure from the police to take the case seriously.
After all, the real master of Japan is the consortium, not the gang.
So it is conceivable that the few people who come to vandalize the store will be in big trouble and will definitely not get any good results.
If we think about it further, we still don’t know whether the Yamaguchi-gumi will become dissatisfied with Ikuo Shubo, who hired them, and turn to blackmail.
If that were the case, that would be interesting.
To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin even mixed Qibu Duangchang Powder into the meat he fed to his dogs.
The Osaka Dannomiya branch was definitely not a disastrous defeat for him, it could only be said to be a relatively costly disastrous victory.
Taken together, he is the final winner.
Of course, in addition to the situation at these two branches, we also have to talk about what happened at the home court in Tokyo.
But, to be honest, Tokyo is still the most boring and peaceful place.
Because unlike the two branches in Kyoto and Osaka, the Danmiya Restaurant in Tokyo had Axia's help, and the matter here was solved almost without bloodshed.
However, there are some surprising things.
For example, Axia brought a very special guest to Ning Weimin on this day.
On October 1st, in order to avoid any accidents, Ning Weimin personally came to the Tokyo branch to take charge.
Unexpectedly, at eleven o'clock, Axia, who had promised to help solve the problem, came.
Of course she didn't come alone, but she didn't have any of her brothers following her.
On the contrary, he is just an old man who is nearly sixty years old.
Wearing a suit, he looked very friendly, and was not tall, so Ning Weimin mistook him for a Japanese.
It was speculated that he might be the owner of a related company, and he probably wanted to do some business with them, so Axia brought him to see him.
"Hello, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me. My name is Ning Weimin. Welcome to visit me. This is my business card."
Ning Weimin just said hello in Japanese, but he didn't expect the other party to speak Chinese directly after taking the business card, and it was still very standard Mandarin with a Jinmen accent.
"Don't be too polite. You don't need to speak Japanese. I'm also from China. I heard Axia say earlier that you are from the capital. How about we talk in our hometown dialect?"
"You...are you from Jinmen? What is your name?" Ning Weimin immediately changed to Mandarin.
"Yes, I have a good ear."
The other party also handed Ning Weimin a business card in exchange.
And it seemed that he had not met someone with whom he could chat in Mandarin for a long time, and he seemed very happy.
Axia didn't even have a chance to interrupt, so she excitedly introduced herself to Ning Weimin.
"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Chunshu, I am from Jinmen for sure."
Ning Weimin glanced at the business card in his hand, and sure enough it read "Zhao Chunshu, President of the Box House Family".
Although he couldn't figure out what kind of company this box house was.
But at this time, he really regarded the person in front of him as a compatriot in Japan, an ordinary old overseas Chinese.
No matter why they came, since today is the National Day, you have to entertain them warmly, right?
So he responded enthusiastically and immediately put Axia aside.
"This is so unexpected. My master is also from Jinmen, and his hometown is Jinghai."
"Oh, then we are still far apart, one is in the city and the other is outside the city. My family lived outside the south gate back then."
"Then when did you come here?"
"In 1944, he was captured as a laborer by Japan. He was sent to his native Yamagata Prefecture to do hard labor."
The other party's words made Ning Weimin couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh, it's not easy for you. You must have suffered a lot. Hey, we will win in just one year."
"Who says it's not? This is fate. At that time, the Japanese authorities violated international law and took about 40,000 Chinese prisoners of war and civilians to the mainland and handed them over to 25 companies for slavery. After Japan surrendered, Huahua became the victor.
The citizens finally gained their freedom, but only half of them were left. I am lucky to have survived."
Zhao Chunshu seemed to be reminded of his unbearable labor experience, and Zhao Chunshu became very sad.
These words moved Ning Weimin even more, and he felt sympathetic and sympathetic. So in order not to make the other party too sad, he took the initiative to chat with the other party about the food in Tianjin, and also introduced some common dishes in his store in Beijing and Tianjin.
Dishes.
For example, there are three kinds of fried meat, sliced pork, braised tendons with green onions, 18-pleat steamed buns from Goubuli and Jinmen pancakes.
This was good, as expected, the other party soon forgot those unpleasant things.
Zhao Chunshu was so happy when he heard that Tan Gong Restaurant could actually serve him the flavor of his hometown.
However, he was not in a hurry to eat, but visited the restaurant with great interest.
During this process, while admiring the exhibits in the Danggong Restaurant Museum, I also took the initiative to ask about the current Red China and the changes in Jinmen.
They just chatted more and more passionately.
Of course, it is not so much because the two hit it off as soon as they met, but rather because of their common cultural origins and Zhao Chunshu's long-term wandering in a foreign land and his "felt homesickness" that led to this sense of intimacy between fellow villagers.
In short, Zhao Chunshu and Du Yu showed great interest and yearning for what their hometown looks like today, and were particularly looking forward to having the opportunity to go back and take a look.
Regarding this matter, Ning Weimin certainly didn't think there would be any difficulties, so he said, "It's not difficult. If you want to go back, just make time and I will help you make arrangements later."
However, Zhao Chunshu just smiled noncommittally and said, "Thank you! Today I really learned something new. As long as I sit down for a while, the dishes you bring are really half as good as your eloquence, and I will come here often in the future."
.”
Even at this time, Ning Weimin still didn't know what kind of person this Mr. Zhao was.
Still, we should regard him as an ordinary businessman who has taken root in Tokyo, Japan, a fellow countryman with a small fortune and hard work.
Until the Japanese restaurant manager and security officer Zheng Qiang chased into the back kitchen and reported to Ning Weimin, "The troublemakers are here. There are twenty of them, all at the door of the restaurant, confronting us who stopped them."
.
This Mr. Zhao finally revealed his true colors.
When they went out again, Ning Weimin was surprised to find that this Zhao Chunshu was Axia's support when she came alone, and he was also the protector she specially invited for Tan Gong Restaurant.
Because the Daochuan Club members who were originally arrogant and were blocking the door of Tan Gong Restaurant and yelling angrily saw Mr. Zhao Chunshu and Zhao walking out with Ning Weimin and others, they immediately became good children.
Not only did they not dare to say anything, they also bowed and saluted collectively, even the leader was no exception, and his attitude was absolutely respectful.
On the contrary, Zhao Chunshu remained calm and walked over to tell the leader, "This is a store owned by my friend. Please give me some face and stop making trouble, okay? If anyone has any objections, let him talk to me first."
In this way, the storm was easily resolved. When the people from the Daochuan Society bowed and saluted again, and almost disappeared, Ning Weimin still stood there in a daze.
Is this okay?
What kind of role is this Mr. Zhao?
As for the answer to this question, Ning Weimin finally figured it out after arranging a seat for Zhao Chunshu and taking advantage of Axia's opportunity to go to the bathroom.
"Axia, who is this Mr. Zhao? How can he speak so effectively to those people?"
"No need to ask, he is a senior cadre of the Daochuan Society."
"Are you kidding? How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
"He is Chinese, how can he be a high-level member of a violent organization in Japan?"
"Haha, you are ignorant about this. The Inagawa Association is the least xenophobic organization in Japan. As long as you stay loyal to the organization after joining and pay your dues on time, there will be no problem. So there are not only Chinese, but also Indians and Koreans in the organization.
And the Vietnamese. And Mr. Zhao is not an ordinary person. He almost took over as the second generation head of the Inagawa Society. The current second generation head was actually recommended by him. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao should be regarded as a member of the Inagawa Society.
The second in command, he serves as the president's assistant and top advisor. I won't hide it from you, in fact, Mr. Zhao is my real patron in Daochuan Association. If it weren't for the fact that we are all Chinese, he would not take care of us like this...
"
"But...but the business card clearly says 'Hakoya Family'. Isn't that a company?"
"Hahaha!"
Axia laughed uncontrollably again, "President Ning, you still don't know something about Japan. In the early days, Japanese gangs used to use the surname or location of the founder of the gang plus 'family' to refer to them. For example, Japan's second
The big yakuza Sumiyoshi-kai developed from the Sumiyoshi family founded in the 19th century. The Hakoya family is a gang that has been passed down for three generations in Chiba Prefecture. It was captured by Mr. Zhao in his early years. Now it is his personal organization. Of course, it is also
Affiliated to the Inagawa Council. Do you understand?"
Then, Axia added.
"Ah, by the way, you should keep the business card he gave you. Mr. Zhao's reputation is very good in Japan, especially since his job was originally to coordinate the relationship between internal and external organizations. So he
He has also become sworn brothers with Wakatou of the Sumiyoshi-kai and Yamaguchi-gumi, and now the top leaders of the three major organizations recognize him. If you encounter this kind of trouble in the future, as long as you have his business card, you should be able to avoid conflicts."
Ning Weimin was completely dumbfounded and needed time to digest it all.
He obviously looks like an ordinary uncle, but you really can't tell at all.
