Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

However, even if it is confirmed that the other party does have similar power, no one will take any action.

After all, the situations of major domestic conglomerates are similar to those of the families in ancient times.

They are basically not much different from the daimyo from older times, and some can even be considered newly rising daimyo.

Moreover, these daimyos are even more difficult to deal with. After all, there is no direct resistance in name. If you take action against them, you have to consider public opinion.

And the companies under their control employ hundreds, thousands or even millions of people each.

These people also represent the hopes of dozens or even millions of families, so who will the people working in these companies and their families vote for?

You would definitely vote for the person supported by the company. After all, ordinary workers still need to rely on the company to make a living.

What if the investor is not so optimistic about his company and imposes restrictions after taking office? Wouldn't he be unemployed for sure?

So in this situation, everyone can only choose to cooperate, and it can basically be said that they are in a state of non-interference.

However, everyone still feels that this is acceptable. After all, the situation has been basically similar from ancient times to the present. Although it has changed on the surface now, there has not been much change inside.

There is no need to make too many changes in your habits, and there is no need to worry about people not being able to accept anything.

"I seem to have heard from my mother that it seemed to be a competition that had been prepared for a long time, but I don't know why it was moved to that cruise ship~"

Tomoyo Daidoji also spoke up, and just as he said, similar competitions would generally choose a more authentic venue.

Because this competition has been held before, there won't be much change according to past practice.

But this time an unexpected change occurred and it crashed directly into the sea. If any accident happened on the sea, it would be difficult to deal with.

But fortunately, it is said that there is no need to worry about the arrangements in this regard. The Metropolitan Police Department will dispatch personnel and the Coast Guard will follow.

Even if something really goes wrong, we can still be rescued directly, unless everyone's ships sink at the same time, then we can only rely on lifeboats.

But even if they sank together, it would not be a big deal, as there were so many coast guard ships gathered there.

The communication on land must be reconnected every few minutes to avoid any accidents. If an accident really happens, warships can be mobilized immediately.

If things can still go wrong even after reaching this point, then even if it is placed on land, it is unlikely that nothing will happen, right?

"In a situation like this, it would normally be reasonable for something to happen!"

Suzuki Sonoko blurted out that sometimes unexpected things may happen in normal things like this.

For those who have been with Kudo Shinichi for a long time, any of these things has become their stability.

If some changes happen suddenly, it will most likely lead to a series of accidents in the end.

Maybe it’s not an accident, it’s just normal for certain cases to happen.

After all, if it was not the original situation and no entry or exit point could be found, such a similar incident would not have occurred.

"It's not like this happens every time, but since even Tomoyo mentioned the change this time, it's a bit strange if it's so sudden!"

Matsumoto Akira has great confidence in Tomoyo Daidoji's ability to obtain channels, especially since the other party heard the information from his mother.

For such a large consortium, even international competitions like this must be kept under constant attention.

It is quite normal to plan everything and send the invitations to them before holding the event. As for whether the other party will go or not, that is another matter.

On the contrary, those small consortiums will not take the initiative to make additional invitations in most cases unless they have already made good friends with each other from the beginning.

After all, no one knows whether any of the people originally invited are secretly having conflicts with the other party.

If any conflict arises here, it will be very troublesome for the organizer.

But it’s different for a big conglomerate like this. First of all, their influence is different because they have so many companies under their control.

Even if the reputation is not exposed in public, the companies in private are enough.

What's more, the businesses of the companies under such large conglomerates more or less overlap to a certain extent, but this overlap does not mean that they have unsolvable contradictions.

Because for such large conglomerates, this so-called overlap is nothing more than them sharing the risk as much as possible and expanding their own risk-bearing capabilities.

Without financial pressure, the scope of my business has become wider and wider, and I can bring in more sources of capital.

The less likely I am to fall, the more votes I can gain and the more I can guarantee my absolute ability.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Although he didn't hold out much hope, Matsumoto Akira still looked at Thor. What he didn't expect was that Thor actually spoke directly.

"It is said that among the judges of this competition is the mother of Erina Nakiri!"

Thor told Matsumoto Akira what he knew, "It should be because you agreed to it last time, so they took this opportunity to invite you?"

"Although the direction is a little wrong, but at least I know why I was invited~"

Matsumoto Akira nodded helplessly. Although it was a little different from what he originally wanted to know, at least he knew something.

"If it's something you've already promised, it's better not to go against it!"

After hearing what Toer said, Mao Lilan looked at Matsumoto Akira and gave him some instructions, and then another idea came to her mind.

"Do you need us to go with you? I'm sure you can taste a lot of delicious food at a food competition like this, right?"

Mao Lilan has a good understanding of her cooking skills, so the food can be said to be quite delicious.

However, there is still some gap compared with those professional chefs. After all, I have not received any professional training. I rely entirely on my own exploration and the occasional guidance of Matsumoto Akira.

The most professional training I have received was the guidance of the cooking teacher in school.

The most professional books I have read are the ones I bought myself, which are about some related ingredients and cooking methods.

It is definitely not comparable to those professional chefs who have gone through extremely detailed training and studied for who knows how long.

It's a good opportunity to go there and try to see if you can taste the masterpieces of those professional chefs.

Apart from competitions like this, there are few opportunities to gather so many famous chefs.

Although they have not met yet, Mao Lilan already knows from the previous description of the competition that this should be a super competition.

First of all, we can tell from the reputation of the previous sessions he hosted, not to mention that this session was held on a super cruise ship.

Not to mention how much it costs to build a cruise ship like this, how much does it cost to buy it?

Just wanting to rent is an extremely difficult thing.

"Do you want to go, Xiaolan? Then I guess we'll have to find a way to get a few more seats—"

After thinking for a while, Matsumoto Akira looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who immediately rolled her eyes.

"I know you can only rely on me at the critical moment. Don't worry, Xiaolan is my dearest friend. I will definitely take good care of Xiaolan!"

After saying that, Suzuki Sonoko walked over, grabbed Xiaolan's arm, then turned around and looked at the other girls.

"By the way, are you interested? I can help you apply for it. It shouldn't be difficult~"

For others, it is quite difficult to get on the cruise ship to watch the game and taste the food.

But for the Suzuki Group, adding a few people would be a piece of cake.

After all, the number of passengers on this kind of super cruise ship is ridiculously large, and a few more people will make absolutely no difference, not to mention that it is impossible for the ship to be full with the people invited.

The organizers had already anticipated this when they first decided to hold the competition on this super cruise ship.

Huge gaps must be left, and the entire cruise ship must not be filled with spectators.

That would be too crowded and there wouldn't be enough room to squeeze out a playing field.

What's more, if this is the case, then some people from the powerful and wealthy who want to come temporarily may not be able to get it.

If there is a breach of contract, it will be a huge blow to the credibility of the organizer.

Therefore, the organizers cut the number of spectators on the yacht by half from the beginning.

That is to say, the initial rated number of passengers was more than 2,000, although it was a similar super cruise ship.

The passenger capacity is over 5,000 or even more, but this rented cruise ship does not have that many.

That is to say, it just meets the standards of a super cruise ship and has a passenger capacity of more than 5,000 people, which is already a very large number.

But after excluding some necessary staff, the space required for the competition and the considerable reserve space.

Only about 4,000 spectators can come up at full capacity, but even though there are more than 4,000 empty seats, it is certainly impossible to fill them all.

So they simply cut it in half. More than 2,000 seats are enough, and the remaining 2,000 are simply in case someone like Suzuki Sonoko suddenly comes.

In this way, there will be sufficient emergency space, and there is no need to worry about not being able to fill the vacancies of these 2,000 people. Even if they cannot be filled, there will be enough space left.

Avoid making the place too crowded after everyone has packed in, which would be a very bad thing for the competition.

Plus, it’s impossible for the chef to prepare so much food at one time, so he must be a little restrained.

This also gives them an excuse to reduce the number of audiences, although it can't be considered a complete excuse.
