Chapter 1020 The Troublemaker
In this case, Ning Weimin was completely confused.
Because it was so sudden and he had no experience in dealing with it, how could he have expected that the situation would deteriorate to this point in a short period of time?
To be honest, he really regrets being so smart now that he insisted on recruiting Keiko Matsumoto to be the shareholder.
The fame of celebrities is not easy to gain.
Is this considered self-entrapment, digging a hole for oneself and burying oneself?
But to put it bluntly, under the current situation, Ning Weimin's worry for himself was far less than his worry for Matsumoto Keiko.
Because in today's era, in today's Japan, there is serious inequality between men and women.
Public opinion also has completely different attitudes and harshness towards men and women.
The public is more tolerant of men. Traditional culture leads to stricter treatment of women, so the public is also more harsh on female stars.
For example, it is also cheating, engaging in extramarital affairs and having an affair.
However, male stars in the entertainment industry are basically forgiven by the public after cheating.
It is generally believed that men just cannot resist temptation and are seduced by women, and the fault lies with the woman.
Therefore, when male celebrities make mistakes, they can still appear in front of the public after a period of time and regain public recognition.
But female stars in the entertainment industry can no longer show up.
Once the crime is confirmed, no matter when someone appears, someone will say all sorts of very unfriendly things, and it will be impossible to start a career.
In addition, it is also because there are more girls chasing stars. These female fans will guide public opinion for their idols, making it easier for male stars to come back.
However, because female celebrities are all male fans, they rarely have such consistent and loyal support for celebrities.
The end of life is the fate of most female celebrities who make mistakes.
So, Matsumoto Keiko, the harsh form he is about to face and the corresponding consequences he will have to bear are much more serious than Ning Weimin.
It is very likely that her acting career will be destroyed as this incident continues to ferment.
Ning Weimin, on the other hand, is not the case. Ginza Danggong is just a cover for him to come to Tokyo, not his core interest, and it will not hurt his muscles and bones no matter what.
In that case, how should he deal with himself? How can he face the person he loves calmly?
So at this time, Ning Weimin could no longer think about how strange and unfair this incident was.
He only cares about how troubled and sad Matsumoto Keiko is who suffered the disaster.
He just wanted to quickly contain the public opinion storm, and then apologize to Keiko Matsumoto in person for the consequences he had caused.
Even if he had to compromise with that hateful newspaper and spend a lot of money to buy peace, he seemed to be able to accept it.
As long as this thorny problem can be solved.
But at this time, the house leaked and it rained all night.
Ning Weimin never expected it. Some people are so bold that they dare to come to the Danmiya branch in Ginza to cause trouble.
Completely ignoring the special nature of this location and the fact that the altar palace is a Chinese state-owned asset, he even made rude and extremely infuriating requests.
So this incident also gave Ning Weimin a sudden enlightenment and he woke up.
Finally, I realized that there were human factors in this public turmoil. It turned out that someone was full of malice and was specifically targeting Matsumoto Keiko.
On the afternoon of April 25, around six o'clock in the evening, the setting sun was still hanging on the horizon.
At this time, the lights in Ginza’s shopping streets have been turned on. Not only are people coming off work starting to appear on the street, but the waitresses are rushing to work in various bars.
It is the time when there are the most people on the streets of Ginza, the peak of commuting, and also the eve of the peak of customers at Ginza Danmiya.
Ning Weimin was walking from Wako Department Store in Ginza, and he bought a newspaper on the way.
All I can think about is worrying that the newspapers will stop reporting any shocking news.
As a result, when I walked to the street where my store was located, I saw a strange scene.
On the street outside Ginza Dangu Shrine, there were actually a dozen men and women with bows on their collars and black vests, looking up at the stairs.
Without exception, they are all Japanese employees recruited by Ginza Danmiya.
According to normal circumstances, it is enough for one person to stand at the door to attract customers.
With so many people gathering together, it is easy to attract widespread glances from passers-by, but it has the opposite effect.
On the contrary, it announced the abnormality here, causing pedestrians passing by to speed up their pace.
Ning Weimin walked over a little unhappy.
"What happened?"
When these employees saw Ning Weimin, they all bowed in greeting, and then invariably stepped forward to surround Ning Weimin.
"President, you are here..."
"Why are you all out? Have you left the store alone?"
"Something happened in the store. Some vicious customers were upset and made a lot of noise and even smashed things. The customers in the store were scared away and we didn’t dare to stay in the store..."
"What happened?"
This question made all the Japanese employees look embarrassed, and suddenly a clerk came over with a low voice.
"President, a customer said there were flies in the meal"
"What? How is that possible?"
Ning Weimin couldn't believe it.
Tan Palace’s restaurants adopt Western-style kitchen hygiene requirements.
The kitchen must be cleaned every day, and there must be no dead spots, and it must be fully disinfected.
Especially here in Japan, because we know that the Japanese pay attention to details, they pay even more attention to it in the kitchen.
Every time before the food is served, someone is there to watch it carefully before leaving the food.
Besides, this month is not summer when flies gather together.
To put it bluntly, even the Danmiya branch in Kyoto wouldn’t have such a problem, so how could the Danmiya branch in Ginza eat a fly?
Is it possible that the Japanese also have trouble with porcelain?
When Ning Weimin was about to ask further, the BP machine in his arms rang. He took out the phone and saw that it was the store's phone.
Knowing that the situation was urgent, I didn’t dare to delay any longer and strode towards the entrance of the store.
"President, don't go in, those people are so scary."
"Yeah, they look like gang members."
The timid Japanese were making a fuss, jabbering, and trying to dissuade Ning Weimin from going in.
Ning Weimin didn't know whether to be angry or laugh at their kindness.
After saying "You are all waiting here", he turned around and walked quickly up the stairs.
Walking into the store is another scene. No wonder the little devils were scared away. The scene was really tense.
I saw four men in black suits with arrogant attitudes, confronting the people in the store with pure "Bagya Road".
It seems that something was thrown, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the floor was covered with debris.
The Chinese employees in the store are not afraid either.
These young soldiers are different from the Japanese who hide when trouble occurs. They are very united.
Even the chefs in the kitchen ran out and stood next to the brothers in the restaurant with the same hatred and hatred, looking at the Japanese with cold eyebrows.
The most rare thing is that in the face of such a situation, everyone can maintain basic emotional restraint.
Although the atmosphere was tense and everyone looked unhappy, no one spoke with them in Beijing accent.
Only two security officers, Bian Gang and Zheng Qiang, who are good at Japanese, are patiently negotiating with those people. Their expressions are serious, neither humble nor overbearing. This is professionalism.
The only strange thing was that a Japanese man in a suit was sitting casually on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, surrounded by smoke.
He was about thirty years old. Looking at his nonchalant and comfortable look, Ning Weimin suddenly understood.
This guy should be the leader of this group of people, the culprit today.
Perhaps seeing Ning Weimin approaching, the Chinese employees in the restaurant all showed happy expressions and even stepped out of the way.
The person who was originally sitting on the sofa also realized Ning Weimin's different status and stood up immediately.
“Are you the president of this restaurant?”
"Yes, I am."
The man took out a stack of business cards from his pocket, picked one out, and handed it to Ning Weimin with a dimpled smile on his cheeks.
"I asked the clerk of your store to call and invite you here. I didn't expect it to be so soon. This is my business card."
He buttoned the front button of his suit, leaned over and said , which seems quite polite.
Ning Weimin looked at the business card.
Shiro Numa, the public relations director of the Toto House Association
Because he was wearing the Sumiyoshi Association's logo, Ning Weimin was immediately sure that he was indeed a gang member.
The corporateization of Yakuza is also a unique legal blind spot in Japan.
"I happened to have just arrived downstairs."
Ning Weimin suppressed his anger and bowed slightly. You still have to be polite.
Don't be afraid of Yakuza coming to trouble you. For businessmen, everything can be negotiated, and it is always a good thing to be able to negotiate.
As long as you can understand the other party's intention, it is possible to solve the problem.
Businessmen are afraid of brainless and emotional reckless men, who often cause immeasurable personal and property losses.
If it's even worse if you're a poor guy, you might not even be able to get compensation.
“Excuse me, what happened to make you so excited?”
"We came to eat here because we heard that this is a restaurant owned by a famous movie star. But we didn't expect that the dining experience was very unpleasant. The hygienic conditions of your restaurant are really bad, and there were flies in the last dish. Look at this What should we do? "
The other party thought that Ning Weimin was a little scared, so his tone became tough and he pointed at the catering company's weak spot.
But Ning Weimin was unmoved. He had already anticipated the general situation and just said it lightly.
"What do you mean, guest? What do you want me to do?"
"Of course I want you to compensate and apologize."
"How much compensation? How to apologize?"
"If you eat something dirty, you have to go to the hospital for examination. The examination fee for the five of us will be at least five million yen. Of course, the apology must be sincere. We have to let the female star come in person. After all, we came here because she is a shareholder of this restaurant. Since she advertises her restaurant and attracts customers on TV, she should be responsible for this. . ”
Since the contact, the other party’s tone of voice has been quite gentle, but the expression when he raised his chin and looked up at Ning Weimin with his white eyes was arrogant and unpleasant.
As for the words up to now, they are no more than mere speculation. The blackmail intention of these Yakuzas is extremely obvious.
So as soon as these requests came out, Ning Weimin was sure that the other party was prepared and deliberately looking for trouble.
This kind of scene is very similar to some scenes expressed in Takeshi Kitano's movie "The Greatest Evil".
But he is not the idiot in the movie who always compromises and gets played around.
"In this case, I am afraid I will disappoint you. Frankly speaking, I am absolutely sure about the hygiene of the restaurant, and the situation you mentioned will never happen. So it is impossible for me to meet such conditions. Promised."
"Are you saying that we are lying? Is it really troublesome to even evade the responsibility? In that case, there is nothing I can do. Notify the newspaper and let the media expose the poor health conditions of your restaurant. I really don’t know how you passed the health center’s health inspection. I will hold the health center accountable until they close your restaurant..."
< br>Such a condition is too rude, and Ning Weimin expected that the other party would not agree.
However, Ning Weimin refused without hesitation. Such a firmness surprised the other party.
So the leader named Swamp, after finishing these words, looked back at his men in an exaggerated manner.
A short man approached immediately and threatened him arbitrarily in the long voice unique to the underworld.
"Hey, you guy, don't be ungrateful. We have evidence. If you want to evade responsibility, don't admit it. Asshole, take a good look at the business card. We are Sumiyoshi-kai people. You Chinese people That’s so stupid! You don’t even know who you’ve offended, right?”
Bian Gang and Zheng Qiang both became a little anxious when they said these words. They were really confusing black and white, and they were so bullying.
As soon as their bodies moved, the other party also gathered together to take a tough stance, becoming more and more excited and making strange screams.
"Why, you still want to beat up the customers! We are experts in fighting!"
"Haha, I can beat three of you one by one! Do you want to try? Idiots who run restaurants !”
Ning Weimin quickly waved his hand in frustration, telling his people not to be impulsive.
Although Bian Gang and Zheng Qiang have received special training, beating these little devils is not a problem.
But once you actually take action, the nature will be different, and it will be even harder to deal with.
But the other party was so proud now that they mistakenly thought that Ning Weimin was afraid of them, so they became more eager to fight and uttered dirty words.
How about saying that gangsters are like springs?
Because if you are weak, he will be strong.
But in fact, since Ning Weimin saw that something was fishy and expected that there was a reason for it, how could he be frightened by them?
So to their surprise, Ning Weimin smiled and used another very civilized way to attack their arrogance.
"You are the so-called Yakuza, right? I just heard about it before, but today I really learned it. Then let's not beat around the bush, I'll just say it directly. If I say I don't want to agree, What are your conditions? What if I choose to call the police? "
When it comes to the police, it is the other party's turn to blush. They feel that Ning Weimin is mocking them and is a bit off guard.
"Bagaya Road, do you look down on us? We are a company owned by Sumiyoshikai. If you have the guts, just say it again?"
"You still dare to call the police? Are you talking drunkenly? That's all. It’s your fault, okay? The police won’t support you even if they come!”
"Chinese people, are you okay with your brains? If you really make a big deal out of it, there will be no more customers in your restaurant..."
