I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chen Xi stuffed a few banknotes into the manager's pocket and asked him for some information. He almost figured out the pattern of the prizes in the pinball room.

拿餐饮代金券来说，弹珠房高峰期为12:00-15:00和18:00-21:00，而传统餐饮店平日下午14:00-17:00空桌率高达60%。代金券可将弹珠客群的碎片化时间转化为餐厅现金流。

42% of pinball players have a monthly income of less than 30 Sakura coins. They prefer fast, cost-effective meals, such as set meals and ramen. The average customer spending is easily controlled in the range of 1500-2500 Sakura coins.

The coupons are designed to be different for each restaurant, such as 2000 off for 500 or 75% off, and some restaurants have no threshold for use. More popular restaurants have invisible thresholds, such as limiting the use time to 14:00-17:00 to cover the restaurant's marginal cost (idle period of ingredients/manpower).

Chen Xi calculated that the only way to make a profit from coupons seemed to be through drinks, and if the design was not good, he would be fleeced.

After the third-party exchange agency purchases the vouchers, it resells them to non-target customers at a low price, which will disrupt the restaurant's cash flow. If the vouchers must be bound to the pinball room member ID, it will reduce the number of customers, which is really a bit difficult to deal with.

In fact, in the past, many low-price group buying discounts on apps were similar to this. If the store did not participate, there would be no traffic, and if it participated, it would be easy to be fleeced.

Under the guidance of the manager, Chen Xi and Saori came to a third-party exchange shop, which is the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

When it comes to the Yamaguchi-gumi, many people's impression of it remains in the movies. A group of big men in suits, either holding guns or samurai swords, look majestic and not easy to mess with.

But that was all in the early years. The Yamaguchi-gumi today is very different from the one in the movies.

Due to legal crackdowns, the proportion of pachinko parlors directly operated by the Yamaguchi-gumi has been declining since the year before last. The share of marijuana trading has been eroded by the H country gangs, and the market share of heroin has fallen to more than ten%. It should be noted that the year before last they still had a market share of more than 60%.

Chen Xi suddenly remembered a news report he had read in his previous life, which said that the Yamaguchi-gumi would split in two or three years, and two new factions, the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi and the Renxia Yamaguchi-gumi, would emerge.

Although it is said to be the largest gang in the island country, the total number of Yamaguchi-gumi is only a few thousand, and the gang is aging rapidly. The average age of Yamaguchi-gumi members is around 40 years old, and it is difficult to recruit young members. There are almost no new members under 30 years old.

As the times change, young people no longer want to join such social organizations. The Yamaguchi-gumi has also realized this and has focused all its energy on making money from new industries.

Bitcoin money laundering, NFT fraud, and generic drug smuggling have become the gray industries that generate the most revenue for the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Of course, most of their income comes from legal sources. The Yamaguchi-gumi owns dozens of construction companies, IT outsourcing companies, and nursing homes. The annual income is several hundred billion!
In general, in another decade or so, the Yamaguchi-gumi will be like a trapped beast that has shed its fur, with its fangs still intact but its claws blunt and its strength weakened. Under the pressure of legal strangulation, generational discontinuity and technological revolution, this century-old Yakuza empire is being forced to transform into a transnational criminal technology company. Its former glory as a street overlord will eventually be annihilated in the dust of Heisei and Reiwa.

After getting the cash from the grocery store, Chen Xi put the money into his bag and muttered a few words: "He doesn't look like a gangster at all, he looks just like a friendly uncle next door."

Looking back at the man in a suit who was still waving goodbye to them enthusiastically, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"I heard that the inspection is very strict now. Nowadays, hospitals and hot springs refuse to serve people with tattoos all over their backs. If you have gangster identity, your children will be strictly examined when they go to school, and they may not even be admitted to the school. So now fewer and fewer Japanese people join gangs..." Saori took his arm and explained as they walked.

"I saw you bought so many uniforms today. Come and play the role of a gangster lady for me tonight!" Chen Xi suddenly remembered the pile of things she bought during the day and couldn't help but grin.

"So you like this tune, huh!" Saori hummed twice.

Night, hotel.

In the suite, Saori fastened the last pearl button of her silk shirt. Under the light, the black leather corset reflected a dangerous luster, and the lace garter stockings faintly visible at the slit of the skirt were like a mandala dormant in the dark night.

"The only daughter of the seventh generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi is here. I heard that Mr. Chen is very interested in my cargo ship route?" She held an unlit cigarette between her fingertips, and the rhythm of her heels tapping the floor was colder and harder than the ice cubes in the vodka.

Chen Xi leaned back in the armchair, his Adam's apple rolling slightly as her leather gloves slid across the table. The silver light reflected by the cufflinks just illuminated the corners of his lips, "Why don't we check the goods first?"

Saori suddenly leaned forward, pressing her knees against the dent in the leather sofa between his legs. She hooked her arm around the man's neck and said, "Before you inspect the goods...pay the protection fee first."

"Protection money? Come and get it yourself if you want it." Chen Xi pointed to his crotch.

Hearing this, Saori's fingers brushed across his chin, causing a slight shudder as her fingertips rubbed against his skin: "Protection fees... should be calculated based on the shipping tonnage?"

Chen Xi stood up, suddenly grabbed her wrist, turned around and pressed her towards the French window, and reached under her body with his other hand and said, "Miss, you are really greedy. You even want to take it by the ton!"

In the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the two people’s disheveled clothes were crumpling up all the starlight in the city.

Saori bit her lip lightly: "Don't...the curtains haven't been drawn yet!"

"Who can see it from this high?" Chen Xi grinned evilly.

"How can I not see it? Look, there are so many tall buildings outside, some are even taller than our building! Woo~" Saori felt something strange coming from somewhere in her body, and she bit her lips and stammered.

I think what my girlfriend said makes sense. How can we let others see us doing this? Although it is really exciting to do that thing on the glass at high altitude, it would be a disaster if someone secretly filmed the exciting battlefield of the two of us and uploaded it to the Internet.

The next second, he let go of Saori's arm and pulled up the curtains.

After doing all this, Chen Xi turned around and found that the woman who was beside him just now was gone. Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard from the direction of the bathroom.

"What's going on again?" Seeing that the person had run far away, he simply sat down and lit a cigarette.

Two or three minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

A piece of lace ribbon peeked out from behind the frosted glass door, and Saori stepped barefoot into the warm light. The wavy ruffles of the black and white maid skirt swung with her steps, and the cherry embroidery on her chest trembled with her breathing like a dewy fruit.

"Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Would you like to enjoy the evening tea... or would you like to enjoy me first?" The movement of her kneeling to salute shattered the moonlight on the ground, and the silk ribbon around her neck fluttered as she tilted her head.

Chen Xi caught a glimpse of her translucent stockings hidden in the shadow of her skirt, and his knuckles paused as he crushed the cigarette butt.

Saori suddenly tiptoed close to his ear, the scent of lily of the valley in her hair falling together with her deliberately slowed breathing: "Master, I won't be angry no matter what you do to me tonight~"

"Really? Kakashi!"

"what?"

"Okay, Kakashi. Come on, Kakashi!"

"Chen Xi, you want to die!"

"Hey, didn't you just say that you wouldn't get angry no matter what? Why did you get angry after I just said a few words?" Chen Xi said with a smile, looking up.

He had heard people say that many names of girls from the island countries sounded very rustic in the eyes of local people today, but they were very fashionable in the past. For example, the name Nanako sounds cute, but in today's island countries it sounds like Cuihua or Lijuan.

Just like the older generation in China used to be called Jianguo, Jianhua, Zhiqiang, etc., but nowadays it is not suitable for young people to name their children. Chen Xi called her three times in a row, just like calling Niu Aihua three times in a row. Saori, who already had a problem with her father's naming, pouted her lips immediately.

"Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" Saori crossed her arms and walked back to the bathroom with her head held high.

Chen Xi smiled, turned around and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of drink.

Just then, a woman in a ninja nightgown appeared behind him.

"Teacher Kakashi's instant body movement technique is pretty good, right?" A woman's soft and cold snort suddenly came from behind, and Chen Xi was pressed against the back with someone's fingers as if they were a gun.

As she spoke, the man in front of her slowly put down the drink in his hand, then turned around in an instant and grabbed her wrist.

Saori was pressed down on the bed in an instant.

Looking at the ninja costume that was as short as a nightgown, Chen Xi's gaze slowly moved downwards.

Because of the intense action just now, the skin exposed through the clothes, the white and smooth thighs...

"Is this how you island ninjas entertain your guests? Are you from Iga or Koga?" Chen Xi pinched the other person's chin.

Saori suddenly bent her right knee and pressed it against his sternum, and said, "Water Style: Water Prison... Uh~"

The unfinished seal was blocked by the foreign object between the teeth, and Chen Xi's lips had already pressed down.

"It depends on whether you want to tell it or not." A minute later, Chen Xi snorted coldly.

"Don't even think about asking anything from me. I won't give in." Saori turned her head away with a red face.

"Oh? I'm the best at torturing female ninjas, hehe."

As soon as she finished speaking, Saori felt her ninja uniform being torn open.

These clothes are deliberately made to be torn apart easily. The worse the quality, the better. Those who understand will understand.

Soon, the suite was filled with the sounds of torture, as well as a strange mixture of moans, pleas for mercy, and resistance.

The next day.

On the carpet in the room, messy clothes meandered like a dry stream bed. Lace ribbons and ninja masks were entangled on the edge of the Persian pattern carpet, like scattered camellia petals after a storm. The two people on the big bed hugged each other tightly.

The man and woman who had not been intimate for a long time seemed like two hearts that had finally found a rain after a long drought, and they found an outlet for release in the gentle night last night.

Saori's ankles poked out from under the tassels of the duvet, and her arch hooked on Chen Xi's calf. Her nose was pressed against the man's collarbone, and her long hair swept across the shoulder that had been bitten last night, leaving a crescent mark. The dark red was slightly hot with the rise and fall of her pulse.

"I betrayed the Ninja Village and I can't go back. You can't abandon me." The girl looked gloomy.

"Damn it, you're still acting! Didn't you refuse to surrender last night, but why did you reveal all the secret techniques of the Ninja Village later? Humph, I can pry open any hard-nosed mouth." Chen Xi snorted coldly.

Saori's cheeks flushed when she heard this. Yesterday, she wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide rather than reveal a word, but the enemy ended up stuffing an iron rod into her mouth.

After being tortured for a long time, he finally couldn't help but confess.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the Agricultural Cooperative Association? My father is in Tokyo."

"Yes, I do plan to go there. But it would be bad to just walk in. People would gossip about me..."

After hearing Saori's words, Chen Xi suddenly remembered what he needed to do this time in Tokyo.

After getting out of bed and looking at the pieces of clothes on the floor, Chen Xi turned around and asked, "Didn't you buy a lot yesterday? Why didn't you change into all of them? I want to see the rest!"

"How dare you say that? I just put on the ninja uniform yesterday and you caught me and tortured me." Saori pouted.

"It's okay. The night is long and it won't be too late to experience it in the next few days." Thinking that it was all his own problem, Chen Xi smiled evilly again.

The headquarters of the island nation's agricultural cooperatives has its functions divided into two locations, taking into account the linkage between the strategic center and the industrial hinterland.

The first is the Strategic Management Center (Tokyo Headquarters), which mainly connects with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and participates in the formulation of agricultural laws and regulations. It coordinates the negotiations on the import and export of agricultural products and manages the credit system of agricultural cooperatives across the island, with a total asset size of 100 trillion Sakura coins.

The second is the industrial operation center (the core base in the central region), which mainly supervises the six counties in the central region. In terms of technology development, it operates an agricultural experimental station, leads the commercialization of agricultural machinery and organic fertilizer technology, and manages the logistics center of certain agricultural products in the island country.

There are 2 national headquarters, 9 regional centers, and more than 600 grassroots farmers’ associations.

In the eyes of the locals, the chairman of the island nation's agricultural cooperative has various titles, including a top authority in multiple economic, political, and social fields, a hidden giant in the economic field, a national policy operator at the political level, a representative of traditional gentry, and a core member of the Business Federation.

One can imagine how important the position where Saori's father sits is.

The Agricultural Cooperative directly controls 98% of rice and grain distribution, 86% of fertilizer distribution, and 77% of agricultural insurance in the island country, and controls the lifeline of rural finance through JA Bank (the largest financial institution in the island country). The chairman actually controls the decision-making power of agricultural economy with nearly 50 trillion Sakura coins.

Nearly 500 million members of the Agricultural Cooperatives in the island country constitute the stronghold of the Liberal Democratic Party. All leaders must "report" to the chairman of the Agricultural Cooperatives before taking office. Moreover, the chairman of the Agricultural Cooperatives has been ranked alongside the leaders of Toyota, Mitsubishi and other chaebols.

However, that’s all in the past.

The island nation's agricultural cooperatives were once glorious, but with the rise of a certain Asian power and America's ambition to ship food to the island nation, the status of the agricultural cooperatives has long been less than before.

What Chen Xi didn't know was that according to the situation in his previous life, a major earthquake occurred in the island country last year, and the president of the Agricultural Cooperative will be replaced in a few days, which means that Saeki Hirosuke will soon step down.

However, Chen Xi's food delivery, coupled with the trick played by America ABCD, directly led to the islanders not complaining about famine, and the public and official voices against Kosuke Saeki were not as strong as in the previous life.

Agricultural Cooperative Association, Tokyo Headquarters.

"President, this time we come with great sincerity. As you can see, our grains are of very high quality and are definitely not inferior to your local agricultural products." A middle-aged, fat Chinese man spoke slowly, and the translator next to him also spoke a lot of Sakura language.

Saeki Kosuke, who was sitting in front of the man, snorted coldly: "We have plenty of food. We don't need to import it from you." (End of this chapter)
