I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

If you have to use four words to describe the Japanese yakuza in the 21st century, it would be old, old, and poor.

Under the implementation of various targeted laws, the income generated by traditional extreme industries such as protection fees, extortion, entertainment, medicine, customs, drinking and gambling has become increasingly scarce.

It's not just the three-person group that has a big family and a big business, but even the gang members with small families are also struggling.

It is not uncommon for local Yakuza organizations to be arrested for stealing salmon eggs, stealing money at weddings, stealing vegetables in the middle of the night, and taking pistols as guarantees for borrowing money.

In order to maintain their livelihood, large-scale polar organizations, in addition to infiltrating traditional industries such as real estate, construction, transportation, and finance, are also constantly pouring into emerging consumer industries, setting off a new round of war without gunpowder.

For example, under the Sankou Group, it operates nearly a hundred kinds of consumer industries such as milk tea shops, restaurants, mahjong parlors, convenience stores, and octopus ball shops.

Known as Japan's second-largest go-getter, Zhuyoshikai has also flourished in the gaming and entertainment circles in recent years. Not only has it invested in various action film companies, organized various online gaming competitions, and recently it has given away many prizes. The young male members went to Thailand for plastic surgery and transgender training, and came back to form an idol group C debut, earning a lot of money.

Nuluoquan, which is mainly descended from the Dragon Kingdom, relies on the powerful resources of the Dragon Kingdom, and operates characteristic consumer industries such as Chinese restaurants, hot pots and Taiwan milk tea, which are booming in business.

The milk tea shop is the biggest profit growth point of all Jidao organizations in recent years.

Milk tea shops are easy to join, low-tech, start-up capital less than 2 million yen, and only need five square meters of store space, which is very suitable for Japan, where land is very expensive and consumption power is strong.

The most important thing is that the profit margin is quite considerable, which has surpassed many traditional criminal businesses.

Taking advantage of the recent frenzy of "bubble milk tea" in Japan, milk tea shops have sprung up in the streets and alleys, and various yakuza organizations are taking advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Therefore, Kazuo Tianto has always attached great importance to the business of milk tea shops.

Nu Luo Quan's nasty guys, relying on their contacts in Taiwan Province, Longguo, the birthplace of pearl milk tea, often introduce some trendy products, leading the wave of Japanese gourmet milk tea, which is the hatred of the three members.

"Before the new variety goes online, hold a wave of half-price activities for the whole audience, and stare at those suppliers day and night to hurry up..."

"Hay."

After Kazuo Tento ordered, the man went down immediately.

"Hey, there is no one who can fight..."

Sighing deeply, Kazuo Amato picked up the "Triple Group Shinpo" on the table.

On the front page of the newspaper, some articles created by members who love literature and art are published impressively.

"What's more serious than leaking information is leaking urine."

"My wallet cries every time I see a baby in the first month of the month."

"I'm old, and the doctor's diagnosis is very accurate."

Sighing again, he stared at the newspaper, and asked another man waiting in front of him, "Jin Shanzhang, do you know what is the most important thing for a three-person group in the 21st century?"

"Benevolence?"

The man named Jin Shanzhang replied cautiously.

"How many cups of milk tea can Renyi buy?! Of course talent is the most important thing! You don't even understand this truth, what are you still doing?!"

Kazuo Amado rolled up the newspaper, jumped up on the spot, and slammed on the forehead of Zhang Jinshan who was handed over respectfully.

Aging is not only a problem facing Japan as a whole, but also a problem faced by Yakuza organizations.

Many "restriction orders" against Yakuza have been improved year by year, resulting in Yakuza members not being allowed to open bank accounts, buy insurance, not allow loans, and not be able to sign contracts. At the same time, most hot springs, sento and tours do not accept people with tattoos , and even if you leave the pole, you will still be restricted by the ban within 5 years.

Some time ago, a member of the organization was arrested by the police on charges of threats just by asking, "Can it be cheaper?" when shopping for groceries.

At the same time, with the bleak business and the danger and illegality of yakuza activities, fewer and fewer young people want to join violent groups.

A Yakuza organization without fresh blood can only survive on the back of aging members.

Statistics from the Metropolitan Police Department show that the number of members of Japanese gangs has dropped from 180,000 in its heyday to less than 20,000.

"I asked you to be in charge of the recruitment activities of the organization recently, how is it going?"

Kazuo Amendo took a sip of tea, calmed down, and asked.

Because of the above reasons, talent recruitment is as important to him as pearl milk tea.

"Hayi, it's already been arranged. Since recruiting directly with the name of the organization scares away many people, this time I deliberately recruited in the name of a subsidiary company of the Shanling Consortium, and then used a separate written test and interview for suitable candidates. In this way, I have received several good resumes."

Jin Shanzhang hastily bent over ninety degrees and handed over a stack of resumes.

In order to create a good social image of the Jidao organization, so as to recruit talents and grow stronger, the three-member team has exhausted their efforts over the years.

Not only actively participated in earthquake relief activities, but also often held activities such as cleaning the community environment, distributing candy to children, and sponsoring welfare homes on weekdays.

Even the 100-hour tattoo project that had to be accepted before entering the industry has been replaced by wearing a badge.

A while ago, a few activists stayed up all night to study the "Zero-Basic Webpage Making Tutorial", immediately launched an official website with a very post-modern and crude style, which makes people feel that they have strayed into the cultural center for the elderly. Slogans such as "anti-drugs" and "anti-violence" are often promoted on the website.

Unfortunately, those activists were later arrested by the police in the name of "suspected new channels for collecting protection fees" because they produced "jidao expression packs" that cost only 600 yen on LINE and sold too well.

After quickly flipping through the resumes, Kazuo Amado's eyes lit up.

"Sousuke Araki, 22 years old, Shibuya University of Economics Department of Sociology, ethics major. He was the head of the Kendo club and won the 65th All Japan University Kendo Tournament..."

He took out one of them and examined it carefully.

"This name sounds familiar... Which company did you use to advertise the recruitment?"

"Minister, after careful consideration, I am posting the recruitment information in the name of a property company under the Mitsubishi Group. The main positions include property administrators, security guards, gardening workers, maintenance workers, cleaners, and the jobs that our younger brothers usually do. The content overlap is very high.”

Seeing that the minister's expression gradually became more cheerful, Jin Shanzhang quickly took the opportunity to show his merit.

Kazuo Amado nodded, and continued to read: "...have the qualifications of large-scale special vehicle exemption, large automatic two-wheeled vehicle exemption, kendo exemption, etc., rich experience in work-study programs...have been tutored by the police station 105 times... Looks pretty good, and a college graduate."

etc……

Squinting his eyes, he picked up his resume, looked at the photo at the front, and confirmed the other person's appearance...

This guy, isn't he with Higashino Xinghei at the izakaya, the No. 1 No. 1 "Yokohama Two-headed Dog" in the list of potential rookies in Nuluoquan... What's his name?

All in all, to put it simply, this guy actually quit Nuluoquan and came out to look for a job?
