Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"Matsumoto-san, I didn't expect to see you now. I thought you would have to wait a while~"

Just when Matsumoto Akira and Conan were chatting, a clear female voice suddenly came from the side.

Matsumoto Akira turned around and saw the person they were talking about before, Erina Nakiri.

"Erina-san, are you here so early too? I thought you had other things to do. After all, the organizer is——"

Matsumoto Akira hadn't finished speaking yet, but everyone present understood what he meant.

However, Erina Nakiri simply shook her head and said, "There is no such thing. After all, I am still too young now. Holding such an event has nothing to do with me~"

Although his mother had some health problems due to the influence of the Divine Tongue, she was still able to hold on.

There is no need to say more about other aspects. Although my grandfather is a little old, he is still strong.

You don't need to pay too much attention to these things. What's more important is that you may have to handle them yourself at other times in order to cultivate yourself.

But regarding this game, neither his mother nor his grandfather seemed to have such an idea.

"Speaking of which, Sister Erina~"

Conan stared with his eyes wide open, looking very innocent and cute. It must be said that Kudo Shinichi's appearance was actually quite impressive, especially when he was a child.

"Ah, does this little brother know me too? I almost forgot to ask, who is this Matsumoto-san?"

Hearing Conan's words, Erina Nakiri was slightly stunned, then she glanced at Conan and turned to look at Matsumoto Akira.

"It's my fault!" Matsumoto Akira patted his head, turned around and pointed at Conan.

"This child is Edogawa Conan, who currently lives in Uncle Mori's house!"

"I am a detective enthusiast, and the one I admire most is Sherlock Holmes~"

After hearing what Matsumoto Akira said, Erina Nakiri finally reacted. She smiled and reached out to touch Conan's head.

"Then I understand. You should have introduced me to this little brother before~"

Erina Nakiri believed that it was Matsumoto Akira who introduced herself to Conan. After all, judging from the other party's introduction, the two parties should be quite familiar with each other.

"Although this question is somewhat private, I can also tell you that my father was originally married into our family."

Because Nakiri Senzaemon had no living son at the time, his original idea was to find a son-in-law who was a capable type.

Let the other party take control of the future, and your daughter can be the most fundamental controller to plan for the entire family.

However, he did not expect that the son-in-law's ambition was expanding a little too quickly. Or perhaps it was not that his ambition was expanding, but that his original dream was very big.

The first thing to know about this man, Nakiri Tsuchiya, is that he really wanted to save his wife and daughter.

After all, they did suffer in this regard because of the Tongue of God, so he wanted to improve the entire chef community so that the Tongue of God could also maintain that freshness.

If that were the case, there would be no need for Nakiri Senzaemon to drive the other person out. After all, this kind of thinking is just normal.

But the other party had other ideas——

Nakiri Tsuchiya advocates the ultimate elitism of cooking and believes that culinary art belongs only to the cultural elite.

He wants to train the best chefs and establish a chef world controlled by elites, make the culinary heritage more authentic and high-end, and bring the culinary art to a higher level, in line with his ideal pursuit of cooking.

He hopes to take control of Totsuki Academy through a series of means, reform its education system, and let students learn according to the recipes set by the elite ten.

He tried to return the control of the food industry to the elite, shape the food kingdom according to his ideas, and return the culinary world to what he believed was the right track.

A key issue here is that your cooking philosophy can be high-end, but you cannot make the entire chef community reach a high-end level.

Because ordinary people will not taste such high-end ingredients, especially such high-end ingredients.

Just one bite could cost him several months or even more than a year's salary.

Unless the ordinary person was crazy or had a terminal illness, he would never do this.

It’s just that these ordinary people are not within the scope of Nakiri Tsukiji. What he wants is to make cooking elite and high-end, and turn cooking into an artistic work.

How can ordinary people be qualified to taste those delicacies?

It's probably a similar concept, and this concept is actually not difficult for the upper class to understand.

However, this world is not like the original world, which is not so dependent on food, so there is no support for him at all.

It's mostly because of interests, but those supporters behind the scenes also know one thing.

That is to say, it is possible to support him in controlling Totsuki, after all, more benefits can be obtained through Totsuki Group.

But if the other party expects them to continue to support him in carrying out such reforms, that would be impossible.

High-end ingredients are indeed very profitable and can indeed give people a sense of enjoyment, but there are only a few rich people in this world after all.

Even if that one percent of people can spend tens or even hundreds of billions, so what? Those precious ingredients are only priced at that price at most, it is impossible to simply increase the price.

That's not manufacturing high-end products, that's just ripping customers off, and rich people are not fools.

They will assess the price of your ingredients after they are cooked.

But even if it is tens or hundreds of billions, it is insignificant compared to the total amount of ordinary dishes piled up on a huge scale by ordinary people.

Even if each person's consumption is very small, when this number is piled up to the vast majority of people in the world, the advantage in numbers is enough to reverse everything.

So when the other party clearly expressed his desire to continue to implement this reform, and even the people behind him dissuaded him.

When neither of them was willing to obey, the person behind them simply gave up on them.

It was originally quite difficult to take over the Totsuki Group. After all, the Totsuki Group here is a completely different concept from the original one.

If there is still some morality in Nakiri Senzaemon, it is that the rules he set are usually followed.

However, under the influence of capital, it is impossible for things to be exactly the same as before, not to mention that, in fact, the entire Totsuki Group is not under the full control of him alone.

Anyway, it can be said that Nakiri Tsuneishi's attack that took advantage of the rules was a terrible defeat.

Because the people above him told him clearly not to show off his so-called rules of the chef and food industry.

That thing is useless. Rules are made by us and we can break them at any time without any consequences.

If breaking the rules can have serious consequences, it only applies to people who have reached a certain level.

You are a son-in-law!

What are you thinking about?

We support you to enter Yuanyue Group through various means. It is already a rare thing to become the controller of Yuanyue Group in the future.

But you are still not satisfied and insist on carrying out reforms that are obviously unreasonable and will also cause them huge losses in their interests.

Who would be willing to support such a reform, even if it seems to be a reform for them?

But in reality, isn't that just a disguised way of making money from them?

You look down on those poor people and don't want to make money from them, but you want to make money from these rich people. Please, we rich people don't get our money out of thin air.

Why do you think that just by giving us something random, we can fully support your actions?

That turmoil even led to the expulsion of several of the top ten talents of that session.

This also made those students who were originally a little proud of the privileges they had as the top ten truly understand the power of capital for the first time.

These so-called titles and privileges are also given to you by higher-level capital.

If you insist on causing trouble, you must be able to bear the consequences.

Unfortunately, the students at that time were unable to realize this, and so they followed Nakiri Tsuneishi into the abyss.

Of course, even so, there are actually people who are willing to cooperate with Nakiri Azuchi.

But unfortunately, after those at higher levels learned about his thoughts and actions, they sneered at everything he did.

They are unwilling to invest more energy in helping, and only some overseas chaebols are reluctantly won over. Because they don't quite understand their inner thoughts, they still have some ideas.

However, it is certainly impossible to say that there were no benefits at all from the turmoil at that time.

At the very least, many people in Yuanyue Academy understood one thing: even if chefs look very high-end, they can actually become a low-end product line at any time.

Therefore, after that, even though some students were indeed very talented, no one wanted to challenge the school as they did before.

Erina Nakiri didn't think there was anything good about this, nor did she think there was anything bad about it.

Anyway, she was still young when the incident happened. Although there is definitely no problem with her memory, her body at that time was not capable of cooking or anything like that.

So those things that happened at that time had nothing to do with her, and she would start formal studies later.

Even by the time he stepped into Totsuki Academy, the initial impact had already disappeared without a trace.

In other words, she was influenced by these things since she was a child, otherwise Erina Nakiri might not even remember these things.
