Chapter 562 Flashing

Ginza is very famous and is known as one of the three largest commercial districts in the world, but Gao Yi thinks it is just so-so.

The buildings were not very tall, let alone skyscrapers, but there were a lot of people, and there were indeed quite a few strange-looking girls, which really opened Gao Yi's eyes.

The Youjikai Tea House under the Sanyou Trading Company is a tea house in name only, but in reality it is just a private club, and you have to be a member to enter.

The membership fee is not cheap, it's two hundred thousand dollars a year.

Before entering this club, Gao Yi had only one thing on his mind: how luxurious a private club must be to justify the annual membership fee of two hundred thousand dollars.

Naven’s car, this is a spy activity, so there is no grand scene, there is no scene of luxury cars lined up, but the specifications, let’s put it this way, Sanyou Trading Company has no virtue to provoke the three giants to visit their club.

How big a mess must one have caused for the emperor to come and call for punishment?

The club is located in a seven-story building. From the outside, the building does not look too big and is not luxurious at all.

And the Youji Society didn't book the entire building, they only had one floor inside.

The elevator was just okay. Gao Yi thought that for a club with a membership fee of $200,000, the elevator would have to be large and spacious. It couldn't be magnificent, but at least it had to look decent. But this elevator was just so-so.

It was just like that, with one private elevator, but it was definitely not luxurious at all.

"This elevator...is not worth their membership dues."

Gao Yi didn't mind showing that he wasn't that professional sometimes, so after entering the elevator, he asked curiously, "Why do they dare to charge a membership fee of $200,000?"

"The membership fee is indeed very expensive. The reason is very simple. They need to use the expensive membership fee to distinguish whether the people who come to trade are strong or not. After all, intelligence is a commodity that does not exist in kind. An extremely important piece of intelligence may only be one sentence. Therefore, being able to enter this place for negotiation shows the economic strength of both parties to the transaction."

Naven explained patiently, and after Naven finished speaking, Kant smiled and said, “This is not a feature of this book. There are similar places in other places, such as New York and Hong Kong Island. The more expensive the land price is, the more expensive the membership fee of such places is.”

As we were talking, the elevator door opened, and behind it was a dark entrance hall.

Opposite the elevator is a screen, and on both sides of the screen are two very short but large-trunk Podocarpus trees.

There were four people standing in front of the screen, two middle-aged men in suits and two women in kimonos.

As for the grand welcoming ceremony, it can only be said that there was no grand ceremony. As for sincerity, Gao Yi didn't see it anyway.

A middle-aged man in the lead bowed to Naven, with a respectful attitude, but said something in a low voice, and then the man in a suit next to him bowed and said, “Welcome everyone, our president has been waiting for a long time.”

There were eight people in Gao Yi's group, and they were the ones who came to greet them, and the president had not yet personally greeted them at the elevator entrance.

Well, it’s okay. It’s really not giving Naven face.

Gao Yi looked at Naven with a half-smile, because he was the one who arranged this negotiation.

Naven didn't look angry. He nodded, waved his hand, and said nothing.

Two women in kimonos stood on both sides, bowed and waved their hands to signal them to lead the way. Then the two men in suits stood on both sides with serious faces, waiting for Gao Yi and the others to start moving, and then followed silently.

After going around the screen and entering through the passage between the Podocarpus and the screen, the first thing you see is a small wooden bridge without water.

It is a dry landscape garden, with stones arranged to look like a river, and a small wooden bridge passing through.

Renting a floor in a commercial district where every inch of land is valuable and arranging it into a garden, this approach can only be said to be a bit of a swerve in the attempt to create luxury.

To be honest, Gao Yi thinks that this dry landscape style indoor garden is very beautiful and indeed quite large. Let alone setting up an indoor garden in a place like Ginza, even if it is outside, this garden is not small.

There is just one problem. The floor height of this building is not that high. If a wooden house with a pure wooden structure is built indoors, it will seem very depressing.

There are pavilions, terraces and houses in the garden, but no towers.

The overall look was actually quite coordinated, but Gao Yi still felt depressed and uncomfortable. Then, after almost passing through half of the floor, they finally arrived at the door of a wooden house.

At this time, Naven spoke.

"All the buildings here were demolished from outside. They are all genuine ancient buildings. You can imagine how expensive they were. They must have been very high."

Naven praised it first, and then he changed the subject, but said with a puzzled look on his face: “I just don’t know what the point is. This is not the first time I come here, but every time I come, I feel stupid to do this.”

The greeters and the translator were listening, but they said nothing.

There were two people standing at the door of a wooden house that could not be too big. When they saw Gao Yi and the others approaching, they pushed open the sliding door together.

Gao Yi didn't know anything about gardening or decoration, but he felt that this place was very depressing.

The sliding door opened, revealing another entrance hall. Wooden clogs were placed in the corridor, and a few pairs of leather shoes were placed on the shoe rack.

There were six women in kimonos standing in the entrance hall. They were kneeling on the ground at the moment. Their only job was to help the guests take off their shoes.

Gao Yi frowned, and seeing Gao Yi’s expression, Naven immediately said: “Let them come out, we don’t want to take off our shoes.”

"No, no, it's okay, just take off your shoes and go in."

Gao Yi was not wearing a suit, but he was not wearing any exaggerated sportswear or tactical clothing either. He was wearing casual clothes and a pair of very expensive casual leather shoes.

Lucy wore a skirt, half-high heels, and black stockings, while everyone else wore suits and leather shoes.

Gao Yi took off his shoes while standing and entered the room accompanied by Naven. Then he found that the fat guy Danny was wearing a pair of flowery socks.

The socks are black, but the socks on the feet are red and white checkered.

Unable to help but look at Danny, Gao Yi walked into the somewhat depressing tea room accompanied by Naven and Kant.

The interior decoration elements of the book are all complete: tatami, a low table, flower arrangements, a chessboard, a kneeling girl in a kimono, four or five cold-faced and weak men in suits, and eight women in kimonos standing solemnly nearby.

A man in a black kimono was kneeling behind the low table. After seeing Gao Yi and the others come in, the man stood up skillfully, bowed slightly, and pointed to the low table with three cushions on it and said, "Please."

It was a common trick of the Benzi, to wear a kimono and have the guests meet according to their etiquette.

Who gave him the courage? Didn't he realize who was the one waiting to be slaughtered?

Naven didn’t move. He looked at Gao Yi, and Kant smiled at Gao Yi and said, “If you are not used to it, we can change places.”

No one took the host seriously. Gao Yi turned his head and looked around, saying, "The layout is quite unique. Let's take a look."

The man standing behind the low table was a little dazed.

Gao Yi walked barefoot on the wooden floor and walked towards the room at the side. To be honest, the disadvantage of this place is that it is low, but the area is not small, and it doesn't feel cramped at all.

Gao Yi walked to the side and opened a sliding door. Then he saw a suit of armor. The bright red color looked festive and intimidating, but when he got closer, he realized it was actually a suit of armor made of bamboo and leather.

When I looked to the side, I was shocked to see several sword racks with as many as twenty samurai swords of varying lengths.

At this time, the owner of this place finally came over. He walked to Gao Yi's side. No one knew who he was talking to, but he spoke English.

"Here is my collection of swords and armor."

Just a few dry words, and then nothing more.

For some reason, Gao Yi really wanted to pull out his hammer and smash all the armor and swords here.

It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a hammer.

Gao Yi just took a quick look, then he sighed softly, and then said to the only man in kimono: "No more nonsense, ten billion dollars, pay us and we'll leave."

The man in kimono looked at Gao Yi in surprise.

If you want to play this game, I won’t play with you.

If Gao Yi wasn't really curious and really wanted to see what was inside, he would have left right at the door.

This kind of behavior and these words are totally irrelevant, and it can't be said to be a serious humiliation. Anyway, it just shows that he doesn't take everyone here seriously.

"I'm Katsuo Ieda, the president of the Tomoyoshikai."

How could the head of a civilian spy organization and department manager of Sanyou Trading Company have the courage to say this?

Naven said to Ieda Shengnan: “You heard what he said, take the money.”

Kant glanced at Naven meaningfully, as if to ask how you arranged it, it was so frivolous.

Naven was neither angry nor anxious, he just said lightly: “I’ll give you ten minutes.”

Ieda Katsuo finally couldn't stand it anymore. He threw his wide sleeves and snorted coldly: "Humph, here is the notebook!"

Oh, I'm so tough.

This time Gao Yi couldn't help but look at Naven.

Naven's face was full of surprise, and he looked up and down at Ieda Katsuo in extreme astonishment.

Ieda Katsuo swung his sleeves, stretched out his hand, and said coldly: "Account! It will be transferred to the account within 24 hours."

Gao Yi was almost knocked down, and Naven couldn't control his facial expression. He widened his eyes and looked at Ieda Katsuo blankly.

No wonder, no wonder he was so rude, it turns out he wanted to pay.

No need to talk, just give the money directly, as much as you want.

Give as much as you want. Gao Yi's condition is only 1 billion US dollars. He didn't ask for an apology from Sanyou Trading Company, nor did he ask for a few deaths from Youji Club to vent his anger. So, why should he be so humble? Just give the money.

As per convention, just give the money and it's done. There's nothing wrong with Katsuo Ieda's approach.

It was just that Gao Yi and the others had given them a hard time. They came here with the intention of causing trouble, but the other party just laid down with a tough attitude. It would be difficult to turn against them from now on.

What to do? It's really worrying.
