"Our leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi heard that you had become Hongxing Leader, Mr. Gu, and was very keen to make your acquaintance. The Yamaguchi-gumi is in Japan, while Hongxing is on Hong Kong Island. There's no conflict between us. On the contrary, there are many areas where we could cooperate.
"Unfortunately, he's too busy with organizational affairs to come to Hong Kong Island himself.
"If you ever have time to visit Japan, Mr. Gu, the Yamaguchi-gumi will welcome you with open arms," Iwamoto Shunichi said after sitting down.
GS was much friendlier at this meeting than he had been the previous few times.
Iwamoto Shunichi also hoped to build a good relationship with GS. It would be a great help with his assignment in Japan.
If he could reach some degree of cooperation with Hongxing, it would also greatly benefit his standing within the organization.
"Thank Leader Kusakari for me." GS raised his glass, and Iwamoto Shunichi hurriedly lifted his own with both hands to clink it against GS's.
GS took a small sip before saying, "Although I can't go to Japan for now, there's still room for us to cooperate."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Gu," Iwamoto Shunichi said, setting down his glass.
"Arcade machines. Does the Yamaguchi-gumi have any channels for those?" GS asked.
"How many would you need, Mr. Gu?" Iwamoto Shunichi grew interested. Naturally, the Yamaguchi-gumi dealt in arcade machines.
The arcade market was now bigger than the movie market, not just in Japan, but even in America.
America's movie market wasn't as big as its arcade market.
How could the Yamaguchi-gumi pass up such a lucrative business?
"A lot. How many do you think it would take to cover all of Hong Kong Island?" GS asked with a smile.
"You have an excellent eye, Mr. Gu.
