No wonder those scum want to embezzle a hand-made house for no reason. If the briber is a real estate developer, this would make sense. Judging from the amount of bribes accepted, these capitalists are really willing to put in the effort.
Those criminals were not only corrupt and perverting the law, but also collusion between officials and businessmen.
Ninjas who have been in a knife-edge environment for many years and have been poor all their lives. When they suddenly sit in the manager's position and see a lot of money, what faith, what persistence, what bottom line, what principles, in this kind of situation
In the face of extreme interests, I'm afraid everything has been thrown out of the sky.
From this point, Lei Luo saw the limitations of ninjas.
Being uneducated is really terrible and it is too easy to be corrupted.
Likewise, he also saw the weakness and helplessness of the civilian class.
Small merchants like Takashi are doing well among civilians, but in front of large-scale real estate developers like Takashi Maeda who do business all over the Fire Country, the gap is simply huge. It's nothing to say that they are ants compared to elephants.
Not an exaggeration.
The big capitalists took action, and they didn't even know who was being harmed.
In fact, Takashi Maeda probably didn't even know that he could beat such a person with his hands.
Seeing Maeda Takashi's apologetic apology, Lei Luo's smile was a little stiff, but the relationship between them had become allies from collaborators, so he could only pinch his nose and responded warmly:
"Mr. Gao Zhi, we are both leaders of great forces, and it is understandable that there will be mixed results between good and bad under our command. However, I still hope that you can manage your subordinates well in the future and try to control this situation from happening.
"
As he spoke, Lei Luo took the initiative to reach out his hand, and before Maeda Takashi could react, he quickly shook hands with the other party, and the smile on his face softened a lot, and then added: "For our mutual friendship, for the future
The Kingdom of Fire, and even for the entire world in the future..."
"Like the previous situation, it's enough to let it happen once. I don't want to see it a second time. Mr. Takashi, do you understand?"
Lei Luo didn't believe even a word of what Maeda Takashi just said sincerely, such as "what about my subordinates" and "how about I will deal with it when I get back". In his opinion, he could make the business so big.
The background, brains, skills and courage are indispensable.
As a big capitalist, Maeda Takashi is definitely not an idiot. Even an idiot cannot reach the level he is today. Therefore, is it possible to say that Maeda Takashi does not know about the behavior of his subordinates?
In other words, without Maeda Takashi's instructions, would his subordinates have the courage to do such a thing that undermines the relationship between the merchant group and Konoha's top brass?
The rhetoric given by Maeda Takashi is quite similar to the black humor of Lei Luo's previous life, "What is a friend of mine?" But in essence, this "friend" is himself!
But both parties are important people. Maeda Takashi can neither tell the truth nor Lei Luo. Even if both parties know what is going on, certain steps still have to be passed. To put it simply, everyone is
A face-saving person, if I do something wrong and I pay compensation, you can just stop pursuing it.
Therefore, Lei Luo's response not only took care of the other party's face, but also took care of his own position.
Just like now...
Although Lei Luo's tone was still gentle and there was a smile on his face, even the words he spoke seemed like a simple reminder. However, Maeda Takashi was not careless because he not only observed the cold light in the Hokage's eyes, but also felt the cold light in the palm of his hand.
Hearing the strong force coming from everywhere, he nodded repeatedly and said sincerely:
"Sir Lei Luo, I understand what you mean. After I go back, I will definitely restrain my subordinates and won't let them make such mistakes again. Otherwise, you will take advantage of me, Maeda Takashi!"
Maeda Takashi expressed his position in this way. Although Lei Luo was still angry, he did not say anything more. After a slight nod, the matter was considered over. After that, the two of them were polite for a while, until five minutes
After that, they each left.
As midnight fell, Lei Luo and Nonoyu walked side by side on the way home. There were no people on the street. Only a few shops still had weak lights on, but at this point, it was obvious that there would be no customers.
.
As he walked, Lei Luo glanced sideways at the secretary and saw that she was holding a thick document in one hand and yawning with the other hand on her mouth. He couldn't help but said: "Nonoyu, today
Thanks a lot."
Busy from morning to night, without even eating a meal in between, Lei Luo felt exhausted even with her physical fitness, not to mention Nonoyu, who was not in good physical condition. How could she persist in doing so without saying a word?
It is indeed not easy to keep writing down the contents of the meeting for a long time.
"It's nothing." No Naiyu shook his head, as if to dispel the sleepiness in his mind. After a while, a trace of unspeakable uneasiness flashed across his face, and he whispered to the man beside him: "Lei Luo, let's just let this happen.
Will there really be no problems if a group of profit-seeking businessmen control state power?"
"They are powerful, rich and talented people. They can bring development to the Fire Country, they can help me change the thinking of the people, and they can eliminate the influence of the daimyo as quickly as possible. Most importantly, they can make our Konoha stronger.
So I don't care if they're inherently bad or not."
After giving a flat answer, Lei Luo was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and slowly added in Nonoyu's complicated eyes:
"Of course, that's only the case now."
"Now?"
"Yeah..." After a long sigh, Lei Luo didn't know what he thought of, and his face was full of melancholy. He glanced at Nonoyu and saw a strong desire for knowledge on his face. He thought for a while
, and said a profound sentence:
"The rapid development of the economy will inevitably bring about various problems, and the moral integrity of the capitalists has always been very low. If you expect these guys to always think about solving various difficult problems and think about the country and the group, it will really embarrass them.
Already."
"To move from the feudal era to the capital era, their strength is needed, but from the capital era to the next era, whose strength is needed?"
Looking at Nonoyu's blank eyes, Lei Luo couldn't help but smile and patted the other party on the shoulder. Instead of answering the question he raised, he changed the topic:
"Remember Danzo's advisor, right? That old guy has made a lot of contributions, and he is the biggest pusher for me to become Hokage." Perhaps it was referring to Danzo and this old leader who had supported me many times, Lei Luo
My heart was touched, and my voice became a little lower unconsciously:
"Although I feel that Danzo's death is a pity and sad, no matter how you analyze it, his death has many benefits for the village. This makes me feel very entangled..."
