"I really didn't expect to et you here?!" Everyone felt incredulous.
"Right?" Qingzi giggled.
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.
Having just experienced being treated like prisoners, they suddenly found themselves free. An indescribable excitent and exhilaration filled their hearts.
"Lin Chuan, what are you doing in Japan?" Qingzi asked curiously.
"Planning to start a trade company," Lin Chuan replied with a smile, "Qingzi, can you help us?"
"Of course!" Qingzi nodded imdiately upon hearing this. However, the savvy Qingzi clearly didn't fully buy into Lin Chuan's plan. She asked curiously, "Is that really all?"
"I plan to expand my influence overseas," Lin Chuan said with a grin.
"You plan to use Japan as a stepping stone?" Qingzi squinted.
"Exactly!" Lin Chuan nodded and replied, "Japan is a country where gangs are legal. I think this is the best stepping stone."
"Then you might have co to the wrong place," Qingzi said helplessly, "Whether it's the Yamaguchi Group or the Bamboo Union Gang, the gangs here are deeply rooted. It's not easy to embed your forces here."
"Perseverance will pay off," Lin Chuan laughed, "I believe I can do it."
"Since you want to try, there's no harm in it," Qingzi said with a smile, "I'll arrange for soone to help you register a foreign trade company. Also, I'll arrange accommodations for you in Fukuoka."
"Thank you!" Lin Chuan nodded.
Led by Qingzi, the group quickly relocated. They settled in a building in Fukuoka City.
The building is over twenty stories. The bottom twelve floors serve as a company's office space. The upper ten floors have been vacant. Initially, these ten floors were a shooting base for a Japanese film company. Later, due to economic downturns, lack of visible profits from the film company, and intense competition, the company went bankrupt. These ten floors were acquired by the Zhu Corporation and have remained vacant.
By eleven in the morning, the group arrived at the building and entered the thirteenth floor.
"Wow, they're all filming set locations," Zhou Kai opened several rooms. There was a classroom, a hospital, an office...
"Didn't expect this is an AV filming location," Lu Dapao was overjoyed, saying, "Who knew the scenes we usually see on computers are deliberately staged? I thought they really happened."
"You've been fooled," Huang Bo laughed.
Then, the group settled in several rooms at the end of the corridor. All were equipped with Japanese-style tatami mats, each room could accommodate more than ten people.
"Let's settle here for now," Qingzi laughed, "In the future, this can be your office space. Also, if you really want to establish underground forces in Japan, you better understand the landscape of underground forces nationwide first. In Japan, all forces are linked with the nation's major powers. So, you must evaluate whether your forces can compete."
"I understand," Lin Chuan nodded.
"Then I'll be going," Qingzi gave Lin Chuan a shy look.
"Okay, I'll see you out," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Beside him, Zhou Kai got anxious and shouted, "Chuanzi bro, go for it, she's waiting for you to make a move."
"Haha..." Everyone burst out in laughter.
Qingzi's face imdiately turned beet red. Zhou Kai and the others laughed unrestrainedly.
Lin Chuan then walked Qingzi out of the building.
As the two exited the building, they were greeted by bright sunlight. The outdoor temperature quickly rose to twenty degrees. The warmth felt comfortable, and the sun felt pleasant on the skin. Qingzi, dressed casually with a baseball cap, looked youthful and vibrant.
"Lin Chuan, I don't know if your move to Japan is right, but I'll wholeheartedly support you," Qingzi said seriously, looking at Lin Chuan.
"What if soday I find myself at odds with Fujii?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.
Qingzi paused visibly, looking awkward and unsure how to respond. No matter the situation, Fujii had saved her life and discovered her talent. With these two imnse favors combined, Qingzi had long committed her life to Fujii, believing she'd never betray him for any gain.
"I..." Qingzi hesitated.
"Haha, I won't force you to answer such a tough question," Lin Chuan laughed heartily.
"You're really sothing else," Qingzi muttered with a light huff.
After Qingzi left, Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai headed out to the street. Among them, apart from Lin Chuan, no one spoke Japanese. Even for so daily conversations, they were totally clueless. So, Lin Chuan had to teach them so basic conversational Japanese. Compared to English, Japanese was obviously simpler. Japanese evolved from Chinese culture, so it's much easier for Chinese people to learn.
They went out to buy fast food, walking back to the Fujihara Building with over fifty boxes of it.
First ti trying Japanese food.
"Damn, how can anyone eat this?" Li Qiang complained on the side, "Look at these fish eggs, they're raw, and this fish slice too!"
"Japanese people prefer eating things like sashimi," Lin Chuan responded, "So, don't be too astonished. If you can't get used to it, we can all find a Chinese restaurant for dinner. It will suit everyone's taste better."
"Bro Chuan, I think we should just set up our own kitchen and cook for ourselves," Zhou Kai suggested.
"Who's going to cook?" Lin Chuan asked in return.
Everyone imdiately went silent.
"It's simple," Lu Dapao chid in, "Just hire a Chinese chef, right? There are plenty of Chinese people in Fukuoka, offer them a fair salary, and they'll surely be willing."
Lin Chuan thought it made sense. Since he planned to set up a foreign trade company, hiring so people for the work was also necessary. That afternoon, Lin Chuan called Qingzi, asking her to arrange for a Chinese chef to co work.
Qingzi happily agreed.
After eating, Lin Chuan took Zhou Kai and the others to familiarize themselves with Fukuoka. The scenery in Fukuoka was great, and the air quality was good too.
Historically, Fukuoka Prefecture held significant importance in Japan. Dazaifu was once renowned as the political, economic, and diplomatic center of the Kyushu region. Hakata, historically known as Nagazaki, developed as an external trade port of Dazaifu and is one of Japan's oldest ports. Both the Envoys to Sui and Envoys to Tang set sail to China from here. Over ti, Dazaifu declined, and by the end of the Muromachi shogunate, it was engulfed in warfare, with Hakata Port street turning to ruins, later to be rebuilt during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's era.
Fukuoka City's economy ranks relatively well within Japan. With its natural traffic advantages, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and good land transportation, the opening of the Sanyo Shinkansen has made transportation in Fukuoka even more convenient.
Strolling through the streets of Fukuoka, everyone looked exceptionally excited.
"Damn, Japan isn't all that," Zhou Kai comnted disdainfully.
"I think it's quite nice," Lu Dapao said excitedly, looking around. Fukuoka's streets were very clean, and the air was particularly fresh. There was no pollution, and walking on the streets, you could see many youthful and pretty girls in sailor uniforms, wearing flesh-colored stockings paired with short skirts even in the dead of winter. It was indeed quite tempting walking past them on the streets.
As they brushed past Lin Chuan and his group, they could always hear those girls' laughter, like the ringing of silver bells, innocent and lively.
"Wow, these Japanese girls are sothing else," Huang Bo couldn't help but praise.
"Shall we hook a few of them later?" Lu Dapao said excitedly.
"Damn it, we haven't settled in yet, don't ss around," Zhou Kai glared at everyone and said, "Behave yourselves. Once we establish our na here, then you can play however you want."
The group burst into laughter at his words.
"Great," Lu Dapao exclaid excitedly, "Damn, Bro Chuan, let's trample the local thugs here soon."
"No rush," Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "Japanese gangs are legal, but that doesn't an we can act recklessly. Since we're outsiders, we should follow local customs and properly pay respects."
"Screw it, who dares make us pay respects," Zhou Kai shouted defiantly at the ti, "I'll take him down."
"Paying respects doesn't an yielding to them, nor does it an relying on them," Lin Chuan glanced at Zhou Kai and said, "It's to tell them that we've arrived. We're here in this land to establish ourselves. Those who go along with us will thrive, those who go against us will perish."
"Great!" Lu Dapao cheered enthusiastically, "Those who go along with us will thrive, those who go against us will perish. Anyone who dares cross our Jvyi Gang, I'll be the first to take them down."
............
That evening, after dinner, Lin Chuan and the others imdiately started discussing the matter of paying respects. Naturally, since it was about paying respects, it wasn't about going to provoke trouble. Lin Chuan decided to take Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao to pay respects to the top gang in Fukuoka.
In Fukuoka, the top gang is undoubtedly the Bamboo Union Gang.
In Japan, the three major gangs coexist, known as the triumvirate. First is the Yamaguchi Group, the second is Taiwan's Bamboo Union Gang, and the third is Hong Kong's Hong Gate. These three forces are not only spread across Japan, but their influence can be found worldwide, continually impacting the world's economic developnt.
The Bamboo Union Gang occupies a large territory in Japan. While the Bamboo Union Gang and the Yamaguchi Group are hostile toward each other, neither can entirely expel the other. To preserve their strength, they simply coexist amicably.
And the territory of Fukuoka City falls under the control of the Bamboo Union Gang. Thus, today they were going to visit the Bamboo Union Gang's territory to pay their respects.
