Chapter 584 You Don’t Want to Form an Association?
"Brother, where are we going to play today? Are we going to Ueno Park in Mr. Lu Xun's book, or to Jimbocho to visit bookstores?"
"You guys make your own arrangements today! I'm going to meet a friend, so it's not convenient to bring you along."
Because Wen Leyu was a pervert and judged Li Ye as a bad guy who broke into the house in the middle of the night, Li Ye was very angry and decided to punish Wen Leyu - leaving her alone for a day and going out to play.
As for what to play?
Since we're here, we have to see some of the special projects in Riben.
Fu Yiruo watched Li Ye say something to his mother, borrow two bodyguards and leave without looking back, and immediately looked at Wen Leyu in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, is my brother angry with you?"
"Why is he angry? I didn't provoke him, and I'm still unhappy!"
Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye's back, and his temper came up.
Fu Yiruo shook her head slowly: "I have known you two for so long, and I have never seen my brother abandon you and go out to play by himself!"
"He spent so much effort this time, didn't he just come with you to enjoy the journey of love? But why is he going out alone now?"
Wen Leyu thought for a moment, it was really like this, Li Ye always put her first.
The little girl was a little scratching her head, facing the teasing of a perfect boyfriend, she was really struggling to resist.
Originally, they agreed to get married after graduation next year, but Wen Leyu now clearly felt that Li Ye's eyes were getting more and more passionate when looking at her.
Some flames are more and more difficult to suppress.
[How about. Give in? ]
. . . . . . . . .
Li Ye went to see Lao Song today. Lao Song left him the address yesterday. Li Ye thought about going over to take a look and learn about the details and style of Gao Qiao and Jie.
There is another thing to ask.
Driving 30 kilometers from Tokyo, you will arrive at Yokobin Chinatown.
After getting off the bus, Li Ye immediately felt the familiar atmosphere of hometown.
The whole street is full of Chinese shops, and passers-by speak Cantonese and Minnan dialect. If many signs were not in traditional Chinese, Li Ye would have thought that he had returned to Guangzhou in the mainland!
Lao Song's Datang Cultural Society is located in the middle of Hengbin China Street. It has a large front and four floors. The five big brush-written characters "Datang Cultural Society" are flying and dancing, which is quite free and unrestrained.
Li Ye looked around and found that there was a Cantonese restaurant on the left side of the cultural society and a cheongsam shop on the right side.
So he was a little confused: "Is it appropriate to sell antiques here?"
Generally, places selling antiques are crowded with peers, such as Jingsong Tupo in Beijing at the beginning, and Panjiayuan later.
But the place chosen by Lao Song now does not seem to meet the "geographical advantage" that flower growers pay attention to.
At this time, the door of the cultural society opened, and the young woman that Lao Song carried yesterday smiled and looked at Li Ye.
"Sir, are you here to see Master Song?"
"Yes, is Old Song at home?"
"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go to inform the master."
This woman can actually speak Chinese, although not so standard, but there is no problem communicating with Li Ye.
Li Ye stepped into the store, and the bodyguard who followed him suddenly asked: "Sir, do you need us to go in with you?"
Li Ye waved his hand and said: "You go to the opposite side to eat something, I will treat you."
The bodyguard nodded and said: "Okay, sir, if you don't come out in an hour, we will go in and take a look."
"Okay."
Li Ye nodded and agreed with the bodyguard's opinion.
The two bodyguards assigned to Li Ye by Fu Guiru were very vigilant and would give professional opinions on any unknown environment.
In fact, the most important thing for a bodyguard is vigilance, not the superhuman ability to fight like in the movie.
In modern times where the law is becoming more and more sound, even if it is a violent bandit who wants to kill for money, he will try to choose to act in the dark of the night or deceive acquaintances.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many people were killed because of their money, but most of them were not careful enough. A little caution can avoid more than 90% of the dangers, and sometimes even a security door can make many criminals helpless.
Of course, there are also people who were attacked in the crowd like Abe, but Li Ye at this moment did not have that weight or honor.
After Li Ye entered Lao Song's cultural club, he found that there were actually two clerks in the store. Lao Song's business was not small, and he hired at least three people including this female apprentice.
The first floor of the store was full of various antiques, including several calligraphy works hanging on the wall, the brushwork style was similar to the handwriting on the sign at the door.
Li Ye took a closer look and found that the signatures of these calligraphy works were all signed by "Sanquan Shanren".
"Zhuangyuanlang, what do you think of these humble works of mine?"
Lao Song came down from upstairs, wearing slippers and with his collar open, feeling the same style as those bohemian masters.
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know much about calligraphy, but today I know you better. I admire you."
The reason why Li Ye said he admired him was because of the price tags below those works. Every piece of calligraphy written by Lao Song was worthy of the title of "master".
"Hey, I haven't become famous yet," Lao Song said proudly, "After a few days, this price will double."
Li Ye looked at Lao Song and felt that he didn't seem to be bragging.
Li Zhongfa said that Old Song's family was relatively wealthy in the past, and he went to a private school when he was young, so he was considered a "scholar" in the old society, but how much skill he had in calligraphy, no one had heard of it.
"Zhuangyuan, let's go upstairs to talk."
Perhaps realizing Li Ye's doubts, Old Song smiled and led Li Ye to the tea room on the second floor and explained to him for a long time.
"Zhuangyuan may not understand it very well, in fact, Japanese calligraphy all originated from our mainland. Compared with us, their calligraphy is the grandchildren's generation"
What Old Song said was a bit biased, but it was not nonsense, because Japanese calligraphy has been influenced by the flower-growing mainland from ancient times to the present, and many well-known calligraphers' teachers are flower-growing people.
And now, I don't know whether the inheritance has been lost due to the war, or many people have no intention of studying "calligraphy". Anyway, in Old Song's words, his calligraphy is much better than many Japanese masters.
While Lao Song was explaining to Li Ye, the female apprentice came in with tea sets, knelt beside the two of them and began to perform tea art.
Lao Song did not shy away from her, and in front of her, he still criticized and denounced the Japanese calligraphy world.
Li Ye found that the female apprentice looked at Lao Song with admiration, and he didn't know whether she was infected by the so-called culture and art, or brainwashed by Lao Song.
Li Ye sipped the tea brewed by his female apprentice and asked Lao Song: "As far as I know, the antique markets in Japan are generally in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Why did you choose to settle in Hengbin?"
"I thought so at the beginning, and I stayed in Kyoto for a while and met Junko."
Lao Song smiled and pointed at the female apprentice, saying: "Junko's family was in the antique business in Kyoto, but later they offended Gao Qiao's gang, so they finally came here."
"There are many people who come to Hengbin to travel, so there is no shortage of customers. In addition, there are many Chinese people here, so it is easy to find a few helpers. I have been here for more than half a year and have already established myself."
"Find a few helpers? You are so old, what do you need helpers for?"
Li Ye looked at Lao Song, who was glowing, and wondered if you were going to "form an association" here?
I heard that many Japanese gangs came from the mainland.
Lao Song smiled and waved to the female apprentice.
"Junko, go downstairs and prepare the things I specified yesterday."
The female apprentice Junko smiled gently and walked out backwards.
"Zhuangyuanlang, a good man needs three helpers. I didn't have helpers back then, so I ended up like this. If I had..."
"Even if you had helpers back then, you couldn't beat the army."
Li Ye interrupted directly: "Gangs will never be the opponent of the army. You can do business in Japan, but it's not so fun to make trouble."
"No, it's fun, because this is the world of capital."
"In the world of capital, as long as you make your business bigger, your power will be unimaginable."
Old Song pointed outside the teahouse: "That Junko, she used to be a good lady, and her family was not bad, she was from a scholarly family with a rich family background, but later in the capital She went bankrupt under the oppression of the government, and then met me. "
"I helped her pay off her debts and took her as my apprentice, and she was devoted to me."
"In Japan, there are many people like Junko. It's easy for me to find a few helpers. Besides, I'm not going to rebel. I'm just doing business in a law-abiding manner. Who can do anything to me?"
"Doing business in a law-abiding manner?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "I thought you came to Hengbin to deal with the Hengbin Nakamura Corporation?"
"."
Old Song looked at Li Ye and slowly calmed down. He changed from a slick-tongued sly guy to a weathered old man.
"Life should always have some exciting memories!"
Old Song smiled and said, "Back then, when I had just gotten some good stuff for old man Nakamura, I also enjoyed Japanese tea art once.
But old man Nakamura kept me hanging and didn't let me enter the port, saying that he would give me a girl after I made a great contribution. Later, I was so angry! If I hadn't been blinded, how could I have broken a leg?"
Li Ye: "."
[You are so damn brave! The good stuff you gave to others is all fake, and you still want them to give you a Japanese girl? You deserve it! 】
"Tsk~"
Old Song sucked his teeth and laughed: "But things change over time. Who would have thought that after decades, as long as you have money, you can do anything!"
"I just got here and I only got a preliminary understanding of the details of that guy Nakamura. He is no longer the powerful colonel he was back then. He is just a dog raised by Gao Qiao's family."
The corners of Old Song's mouth slowly curled up, and he turned into a funny look again.
"Zhuangyuan, in this place, money is more useful than guns. You don't need a gun to beat a dog."
