Chapter 149 Namikaze Mirai: Raikage, you are a good man!
Kyoko Sakai, executive director of Umbrella Medical Company, found it difficult to understand the Fourth Raikage's almost fantastic idea.

On the surface, they are a new type of industrial company that has recently emerged.

In reality, they are a monopoly enterprise secretly supported by Konoha that corners the medical market through medical dumping.

The medical products produced by Umbrella Medical Company have better substitutes within Konoha, and those sold to the outside are just inferior products.

Even so, it is much better than the products on the market.

With such advantages, Umbrella Medical Company quickly gained a foothold in the ninja world and made a name for itself.

Except for a small amount of company expenses, most of the profits obtained from dumping the medical industry were secretly transferred to Konoha through various channels.

This is also the reason why Konoha has the confidence to wipe out the daimyo in one fell swoop.

With such a huge industrial pillar, Konoha simply does not care about the financial allocation from the Daimyo.

Now the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village has come to acquire Umbrella Medical. What expression would he have if he knew the actual background of this company?
Kyoko Sakai looked strange.

Even within the medical company, only she and a very small number of senior executives knew who was truly in charge of the company.

And each of them was planted with a special curse, unable to reveal any information related to Konoha.

Kyoko Sakai was sure that the Raikage could not know the inside story.

It seems that this acquisition is the result of a great brainwave!
"Interesting. Maybe we can bite off a piece of meat from the Hidden Cloud Village."

Kyoko Sakai is not a ninja, but she was chosen by Namikaze Mirai to serve as a director of a medical company.

Their vision and courage far exceed those of ordinary people.

After understanding the situation, make a decision that is in the best interests of Konoha.

A letter was quietly sent to Konoha, informing the person of what had happened here, and attached with the person's own thoughts, requesting his instructions.

After receiving the reply and seeing the content of the letter, Kyoko Sakai was full of confidence.

This time, we’re going to bite off a big piece of meat from the Hidden Cloud Village!
Ai, who was rushing over from the Land of Lightning, was completely unaware of what was happening here and was still dreaming of acquiring the company and taking revenge on Konoha.

Three days later.

Ai finally arrived at the medical company headquarters in Takikuni.

In order to demonstrate his sincerity, he, as the Raikage, chose to visit in person to facilitate the acquisition.

Under the guidance of Kyoko Sakai, as soon as Ai entered the company, he saw a row of medical industry production lines that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Clean, tidy and organized!

Very shocked.

"Mr. Ai, this is our company's production line. Every drug produced here must go through three tests, and only after all of them pass can they enter the market."

Kyoko Sakai, who led the tour, explained with a smile.

As the person in charge, she is only thirty years old this year and has a good appearance, making her the perfect person to lead the Raikage on the tour.

Compared to her confidence and composure, Ai was like a country bumpkin who had come to the city. He was stunned by the scene before him, and stood there in a daze, unable to speak.

As one of the five Kage, he has seen everything in the world.

But he had never seen such a sophisticated and huge production line.

Ma Buyi, who was following behind him, was holding a silver suitcase with sweaty palms, which he rubbed back and forth nervously.

It's over! With such a large production line, it would be a disaster if we don't bring enough money!
The suitcase contained the funds they brought for this acquisition, but now it seems that it is not enough!
Kyoko Sakai gave a professional smile, taking in the two people's embarrassment, but her expression did not change at all.

A perfect show of force was achieved in this way.

So what if he is one of the Five Kage?

This is her territory.

"Cough cough!" He clenched his fist and placed his chin on the ground to cough, and the Raikage signaled Ma Buyi with his eyes.

Don't be nervous, don't you still have him?
"liquor……"

"Just call me Miss Kyoko."

"Well, Ms. Kyoko, we have roughly understood your company's production model and plan to acquire your company."

Ai signaled with his eyes.

Ma Buyi understood what he meant, took a step forward, and opened the suitcase he had been holding, revealing a stack of neatly arranged banknotes.

"Ms. Kyoko, here are 3 billion taels. How about that as the purchase price for your company?"

“Not enough!”

Kyoko Sakai still had that smiling look on her face.

Three billion taels. The company’s turnover for half a year is more than three billion taels.

The Raikage put forward this number, showing no sincerity in the acquisition.

"Hahaha." Ai smiled awkwardly, obviously knowing that three billion was a bit too much to ask.

"I forgot to mention that these 3 billion are just the down payment for the acquisition. After the initial contract is signed, the Hidden Cloud Village will pay 10 billion in one lump sum. How about it, Ms. Kyoko, is this sincerity enough?"

Kyoko Sakai still shook her head gently.

Ai's expression froze slightly.

He has shown his sincerity.

"Miss Kyoko, I am the Raikage of one of the five great ninja villages. Isn't your expression a bit disrespectful to me?"

"Mr. Ai, you misunderstood. The conditions you offered are not enough to acquire Umbrella Medical Company."

"Humph! So how much do you plan to take?"

"Fifty billion!"

"Doubt? Young Master Duo?"

"Fifty billion."

Kyoko Sakai responded with a polite smile.

Ai's expression turned ugly, and his voice became a little cold.

"Ms. Kyoko, your appetite is a bit too big."

Fifty billion. The annual fiscal revenue of Yunyin Village is only ten billion taels.

Fifty billion is already the fiscal revenue of Yunyin Village for five years.

"Mr. Ai, the price I offer is very fair. If you disagree, I can go to Konoha. I'm sure they will be very happy to agree."

"and many more!"

When Ai heard the word "Konoha", he became anxious, like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.

Konoha?

How can we ask Konoha for help with such a thing!

Konoha is already strong enough. If it adds the protection of Umbrella Medical Company, won't it take off?

"Fifty billion is not a small number, Ms. Kyoko. You have to understand that even for the five major ninja villages, this is a very large amount."

It is naturally impossible for Ai to really use 50 billion to acquire a medical company. His lowest price is 10 billion. His previous promise to pay 10 billion later was just a way to stabilize Kyoko Sakai.

In his original plan, he had paid a deposit of 3 billion, but it was up to him when to pay the subsequent amount.

Unexpectedly, Kyoko Sakai went to Konoha and directly took advantage of his weak spot.

He couldn't possibly use 50 billion to acquire the company, nor could he watch Kyoko Sakai hand the opportunity over to Konoha.

Konoha is his biggest enemy.

Seeing Ai's embarrassment clearly, Kyoko Sakai had a faint smile in her eyes.

If Ai knew that Konoha was behind the Umbrella Corporation, would he still show this expression?

There is no need to let Konoha acquire it, because they are already one family! "Ms. Kyoko, how about 25 billion? The Land of Taki is not far from the Land of Lightning. I don't think Miss Kyoko wants to ruin the friendship with the Hidden Cloud Village, right?"

"Are you trying to threaten me, Mr. Ai? My journalist friends and the Chamber of Commerce directors will probably be happy to report this."

"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand Ms. Kyoko. I didn't mean that."

Damn!

Completely being led by the other party!
Ai suppressed his anger and looked at Sakai Kyoko's iconic smile which had never changed from the beginning to now, and he wanted to punch her directly.

But he knew he couldn't do that.

Otherwise, tomorrow’s news headlines might be: After failing to acquire the Hidden Cloud Village, the Raikage angrily attacks ordinary people.

Things are different now. Ai is not only the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, but also one of the four powerful people in the Four-Nation Alliance. It would be very troublesome if international public opinion were to be created at this time.

What's more, how could something like an acquisition be exposed so blatantly?

Ma Buyi, who was half a body distance away from him, looked at Ai's appearance and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lord Raikage, you have been completely restrained by the opponent!
What can be done to change an unfavorable situation.

Just when the negotiations were getting into trouble.

"Mr. Ai, how do you think about this? Take the three billion taels as a deposit, but not for acquiring the company. Instead, it's a reserve for purchasing medical products."

"In return, you will be promoted to a VIP user of our company, enjoy priority purchase rights for all medical products, and become our most distinguished customer. All products of the pharmaceutical company will be opened to the Hidden Cloud Village first."

Commonly known as the big resentful person.

Sakai Kyoko smiled.

VIP customer?

Ai fell into deep thought.

It seems that there is no better choice now.

Becoming a VIP customer enjoys priority purchasing rights, which, to a certain extent, also means monopolizing the umbrella company.

Ai, who had been pinched at his weak spot by Kyoko Sakai and had no way out, chose to agree to Kyoko Sakai's suggestion after careful consideration.

"In that case, Miss Kyoko, it is decided then."

Ma Buyi behind him wanted to say something else, but seeing the Raikage's determined look, he didn't know how to start.

"Pleasant to work with."

Kyoko Sakai extended her hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

Ai reached out and took it.

After the contract was signed, Kyoko Sakai looked at the suitcase full of banknotes and Ai's leaving back, with a scornful smile on her lips.

So what if he is one of the Five Kage? He possesses the fighting power of the Five Kage, but he does not have the brains to match them. During the entire negotiation process, he was completely led by the nose.

Even if the woman named Ma Buyi behind him took his place, the result would probably be different.

With 3 billion taels of funds in hand, he can continue to squeeze funds from the Hidden Cloud Village with the status of a VIP big complainer.

The perfect fat sheep!

Lord Raikage.

You really gave me a huge gift!
We must send the news back to Konoha as soon as possible. When that adult finds out, he will surely smile with satisfaction!

After walking out of Umbrella Medical Company, Ma Buyi, holding an empty box, recalled the negotiation process just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Looking at Ai's back in front of him, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Raikage, aren't you being a little hasty?"

Three billion taels is a huge sum even for the Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five hidden villages.

It was spent without any clear reason.

Is a VIP customer status really worth the effort of the Hidden Cloud Village?

"What do you know? It seems that I bought the VIP customer status, but in fact I bought the monopoly relationship in the medical industry."

Ai is confident in his decision.

Umbrella Medical Corporation is a leading company in the ninja world's medical industry. Establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with such a company is definitely a sure-win deal.

Step by step, step by step.

With such an advantage, the Hidden Cloud Village can completely widen the gap in the arms race with the other four hidden villages and quickly improve the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Is it really……"

Ma Buyi looked at such confident Ai and wondered what to feel.

If only it were that simple.

……

Konoha, Hokage Room.

Looking at the letter report sent from Takikuni, even someone as knowledgeable and psychologically competent as Namikaze Mirai was shocked by the Raikage's amazing move.

He wanted to acquire a medical company with 3 billion yuan, but failed. Then, he bought a VIP customer status after being deceived by Kyoko Sakai.

What is the difference between this behavior and those who go to a bath center and are tricked into recharging their annual cards?
"It really seems like something that the Raikage could do."

When I think of Ai with his muscles bulging and roaring and killing everyone in the crowd, it is not surprising that Namikaze Mirai would do this to Ai.

After all, for the Hidden Cloud Village, stupidity and recklessness are almost everyone's inherent characteristics of them.

As a Cloud Ninja who has trained his muscles to the extreme, the most commendable thing is that he has also trained his brain.

Three billion is just the down payment. In the future, this VIP customer status will bring endless benefits to Konoha.

"Ai, you are really my lucky star!"

Namikaze Mirai recalled that the last time, it seemed that the Hidden Cloud Village had stockpiled new medicines, which made a huge contribution to the economic growth of Konoha.

Ai, who has always regarded Konoha as his biggest enemy and mortal enemy, would never have thought that he had made such a great contribution to the development of Konoha without realizing it!

This is the benefit of setting up an alias.

Using a vest to reap the wealth of the ninja world without revealing Konoha's identity is not only extremely effective, but may also produce some unexpected chemical reactions.

Namikaze Mirai turned her head and looked towards the window of the Hokage's room. From this position, she could see the thriving village outside.

It’s not appropriate to call it a village.

After he ascended the position of Hokage, he worked hard to govern the country, vigorously developed and reformed the system of the Fire Nation, and took both political and military power into his hands.

The forests around Konoha were cut down and new buildings were built. The originally uninhabited land was also covered with houses, and the scope of Konoha was constantly expanding.

In the center of the village, modern high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and new high-tech products are flowing in the streets and alleys. Enjoying the dividends of technology and development, the faces of the villagers passing by are filled with warm smiles.

Konoha has broken free from the shackles of the village.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a city.

The former capital of the Land of Fire cannot even be compared to the present Konoha.

Standing in front of the window and looking at the Konoha that he had built with his own hands, Namikaze Mirai felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"It's time for the new ninja school to start."

The new generation who enjoys the dividends of Konoha's rapid development and inherits the spirit of the new era.

What kind of story will it bring.

I am looking forward to the future of Namikaze.

——I have been moving and looking for a house in the last few days, so I can only maintain a minimum of 4K. I will update after I find a house, with a minimum of 6K.
