"We'll give those ghosts all sorts of cute and sad themes, harem anime, and all kinds of eroge and adult films. These things don't cost any money, or you can just pay for one original copy and copy the rest. In short, the cost in this area definitely won't be too high."
"Is this... really okay?" Fuma Kotaro asked with a doubtful look.
Gu Ran laughed and said, "It's certainly dangerous to let those ghosts have nothing to do and let them have wild thoughts, but if you give them video games and give them mental opium, then they can be engaged and have something to look forward to. It's better than letting them think about how to escape from prison, right?"
"Besides, how long do you think it takes to play a game? At least a week for the first playthrough. Games are the biggest time killer. Once you start playing, you lose track of time. In short, just give them some simple jobs and let them stay in the Black Prison playing games."
"Oh right, the Black Prison also needs to be renamed... Touhou Gensokyo!"
Chapter 617 Do you have the right to ask me for forgiveness?
As Gu Ran spoke with increasing enthusiasm, the crowd gradually seemed to agree with him.
“That seems to make some sense…” the crow said. “I often see some young people who like to watch TV dramas, and they can watch them for a long time, spending a lot of time on them.”
Sakurai Nanami gradually understood Gu Ran's meaning: "Just like the pacifiers in Western countries, by using cathartic entertainment (such as violent games) and satisfying entertainment (such as soap operas), marginalized groups can accept reality, creating a social anesthesia effect, exacerbating class differentiation, and causing them to lose their ability to think independently in the entertainment environment, thereby avoiding class conflict."
Seeing that the patriarch spoke so logically, Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama He found that it seemed feasible. Most importantly, Gu Ran's plan didn't require much money.
For example, Inuyama He was able to have his geisha film some lowbrow movies made, as his family had a monopoly on pornography nationwide.
Gu Ran continued, "Oh, right, and about diet too. Give them more high-sugar, high-salt, high-calorie, and high-fat junk food, like fried chicken, instant noodles, and cola, and less fruit and vegetables."
"Is there any explanation for this?" the crow asked.
"Drinking too much cola can easily lead to osteoporosis, and high-fat, high-sugar, and high-salt foods can make them obese, weaken their fighting ability, and make them more susceptible to diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease, which can increase their risk of cancer and shorten their lifespan."
These last words stunned everyone present.
I never expected there would be such a way to indirectly shorten a ghost's lifespan.
In the eyes of our family, ghosts don't need to live too long, so they don't need to exercise or eat healthily. They can have as much high-fat, high-sugar, and high-quality food as they want. Their short lifespan is their own choice, and they can't blame anyone else.
"By the way, remember to equip them with the most advanced computers and the fastest internet speeds so they can go online, watch the latest anime series, and play the latest games. That way, even if they go to jail, they'll be happy. As for their violent tendencies, they can just unleash them all on the games."
Gu Ran set the precedent, and Crow immediately took note of it.
Sakurai Nanami prepared to have someone make arrangements according to Gu Ran's instructions.
"What about those who don't want to stay home?" Inuyama He asked. "Should we continue to lock them up?"
“Then plant miniature bombs in their hearts, with two buttons, one for themselves and the other for Kaguya to control.” Gu Ran’s expression was stern. “Those who are willing to plant the bombs can be released, but when they go out to seek freedom, their families will no longer give them preferential treatment. They will have to rely on themselves to survive like ordinary people. In the end, when the pressure of survival becomes too great, they will be happy to return to ‘Gensokyo’.”
“I think that’s how it should be.” Kotaro Fuma crossed his arms, his face grim. “According to Gu-kun’s idea, these demons have received very good treatment. If they are still not satisfied, then we should send out the Execution Bureau to eliminate them.”
……
The meeting was basically over by this point, so the patriarch announced that the meeting was adjourned.
Gu Ran walked out of the conference room, and Crow chased after him: "I'm free this afternoon, let's go to Oarai Town together then."
"Okay," Gu Ran replied.
After leaving Xingshen Temple, Nanazawa Yui saw Gu Ran and immediately followed behind. She heard Crow's words and asked, "Do you need me to arrange a car?"
The crow said, "Only Gu Jun and I will go this time. You stay here and wait."
"Hai!" Nanazawa Yui answered loudly.
Gu Ran and Crow were startled by the little girl's sudden voice, and the people around them also looked over and stared at the three of them.
Nanazawa Yui realized she had lost her composure and immediately bowed her head to apologize.
When she was training, Crow was her instructor, so when she heard his command, she instinctively responded loudly.
Crow just smiled and walked into the elevator with Gu Ran and Qi Ze Weiyi.
"By the way, President, there's something I need to report to you," Nanazawa Yui said to Gu Ran.
"what's up?"
"We've already bankrupted Soichiro Hida's company, who harassed you a few days ago. His father's group will also be under restructuring due to the scandal. In the end, we should be able to force him to resign and hand over all his shares." Yui Nanazawa looked at Gu Ran. "I wonder if you are satisfied with this outcome?"
Gu Ran was taken aback: "Who?"
Did I recently make enemies and cause someone to go bankrupt for no reason?
"It was that guy who deliberately cut you off when you and Miss Su were on your motorcycle trip the day before yesterday. He also attacked Miss Zhen from a corner. His name is Soichiro Hida, and his father is Mitsuhiro Hida."
"Oh..." Gu Ran had completely forgotten about that insignificant nobody. "How did you know about me? Were you following me?"
"It's not about stalking; it's about something related to your brother, which is a priority in the family," Crow quickly explained, afraid that Gu Ran would misunderstand.
He then said to Gu Ran, "If I'm not mistaken, it was probably when that guy who drove the Lamborghini was in a car accident and filed an insurance claim that he mentioned your motorcycle's license plate number, which involved you. So Kaguya recognized him, and then Kaguya focused her attention on that guy who had a grudge against you. At the same time, there will be specialists to follow up and help you deal with those who offended you."
"Damn!" Gu Ran laughed. "Isn't it unnecessary to go to this extent? Did Yuan Zhisheng receive the same treatment when he was alive?"
“If anyone offends the young master, Yaksha and I will go up and beat that kid up. We wouldn’t need anyone else’s help.” Crow tugged at his trench coat. “We are the young master’s retainers. If we let other agents take the lead, it would be too embarrassing if word got out.”
"So you arranged for specialists to deal with the people who offended me because you were afraid I'd be unhappy and hold a grudge against your family?" Gu Ran said irritably. "Do you think I'm such a petty person?"
“It’s hard to say…” Crow paused, “but we all know you’re petty, otherwise Zhao Xuzhen wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Gu Ran pursed his lips and remained silent; he refused to admit that Zhao Xuzhen's fate was related to him.
Anyway, you have no evidence. When Zhao Xuzhen got into trouble, I was sleeping soundly in a hotel.
The elevator reached the first floor, and the three of them stepped out. They then heard two people arguing loudly in the lobby, accompanied by four bodyguards.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen someone so bold, daring to cause trouble at Genji Heavy Industries." Crow sneered.
Gu Ran glanced at it and said, "What a small world! This kid has done it three times in three days."
"You know him?" the crow asked.
Nanazawa Yui explained: "It was Mitsuhiro Hida and his son Soichiro Hida who were harassing Chairman Gu."
The crow was taken aback: "Heh, you still dare to come here, you've got some nerve."
This is the headquarters of the Snake Clan, the lair of all the underworld in Japan. Apart from the Demon Clan, no one has dared to be so noisy in all these years.
Although the Snake Clan has become weaker recently, it doesn't mean they can be bullied by just anyone.
"Let me in to see your boss! My son and I are here to negotiate. Why are you confiscating our family's property? What right do you people have?" Hida Soichiro, who was barely 1.6 meters tall, shouted.
Standing next to him was a fat man, about 1.5 meters tall, who was his father, Mitsuhiro Hida. He was looking around when he suddenly saw Crow and the others and immediately went over to them.
"Hello, sir, I am..."
Just as Mitsuhiro Hida was about to introduce himself, Crow interrupted him, saying, "I'm not interested in who you are, but do you know what the consequences will be for making such a scene here?"
Mitsuhiro Hida was taken aback; of course he knew where he was.
But there was no other way; he had to meet with the underworld leader at noon today, otherwise he would be voted out of the board at the afternoon meeting, and his shares would be bought out at a low price.
This is the culmination of his life's work; he can't just hand over his company to someone else like that!
Therefore, even if it's risky, he's going to make the trip.
Moreover, he was prepared.
"Consequences? What consequences could there be? The man behind me is a security officer. What, you dare to assault a police officer?" Soichiro Hida pointed to a man in a black suit behind him.
The man in the suit took out an ID with the Japanese police insignia from his pocket, waved it, and then tried to put it away.
"Wait, are you a security guard?" Crow sneered. "Which district are you from? How dare you show up here without saying hello? Don't you want to be stupid?"
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department requires a one-day advance notice before making a home visit, allowing them time to prepare.
Moreover, what security guard would dare to come here alone?
The man in the black suit didn't speak, or rather, he didn't dare to speak.
He was indeed a security officer, but only one in a small rural town in Hokkaido. He and the Mitsuhiro Hida family were old friends, but he was only here to make a show of things.
He had never lived in Tokyo, so he didn't know much about Genji Heavy Industries. At first, he just thought it was a big company and didn't know it was the stronghold of the yakuza.
Even if he were stupid, after standing there for a while and seeing all sorts of petty thugs around, he could roughly guess that this place was not simple.
Therefore, he dared not speak too much, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.
Hida Mitsuhiro gestured for his son to be quiet, then said to the crow, "Sir, I didn't mean to offend you, but I've been trying to see the patriarch without any other way, so I have to resort to this method. Please forgive me..."
"Why should I forgive you?" the crow said disdainfully. "Who do you think you are? You think you can make me take care of you?"
Hida Mitsuhiro was stunned for a moment. He saw that the crow had a fierce look on its face and looked like it had killed countless people.
For a moment, he was stunned, fearing that he would turn into a concrete block and be sunk into Tokyo Bay by crows.
Chapter 618 Being a club president is a dangerous profession
"Let's go."
Gu Ran tilted her head at Nanazawa Yui, showing no interest in these matters.
Nanazawa Yui turned slightly to the side and gestured for Gu Ran to leave from the other side.
When Mitsuhiro Hida saw Gu Ran, he was dressed in a dark green school uniform suit and looked very refined.
Because Gu Ran was representing the Secret Party's position at today's meeting, he wasn't wearing his signature black executive uniform.
Seeing that Gu Ran had a scholarly air and a handsome appearance, which contrasted sharply with Crow's fierce and thuggish face, and noticing that Gu Ran had a secretary by his side, Hida Mitsuhiro immediately concluded that Gu Ran was an office worker and a person of high status.
Clerical staff should be easier to talk to, right?
So he reached out and blocked Gu Ran's way: "Sir, please wait a moment, I..."
Before Mitsuhiro Hida could finish speaking, Yui Nanazawa grabbed his hand with a reverse joint lock and easily tripped him, pinning him to the ground.
All of this happened very quickly. It wasn't until Mitsuhiro Hida howled on the ground that everyone realized that this petite girl, who was only 1.6 meters tall and looked thin, had subdued a man of Mitsuhiro Hida's size so easily.
The bodyguards brought by Mitsuhiro Hida immediately wanted to step forward to help, but at this moment, the security guards of the Snake Clan in the hall immediately surrounded them.
There were about ten people, each holding a stun baton.
These people did not take action at first because the other party did not make any move, but just shouted. After all, this is the city center, and if the other party does not use violence, the security guards of Genji Heavy Industries will also be relatively restrained.
But then Nanazawa Yui made her move, and since Crow was the head of the Enforcement Bureau, and the boss was present, the security guards had to become fierce as well.
Seeing this, the bodyguards dared not move again, and even the security guard from that Hokkaido town remained silent.
After all, this wasn't his rural town, nor was it a place where he could lord it over others.
"It's you..." At this moment, Hida Souichirou finally recognized Gu Ran. "You, what are you doing here? Do you have connections with the underworld?"
