Chapter 2149 Traditional Culture

Zhou Buqi felt that he and Tsujimoto Kenzo were completely unable to communicate and were not from the same era at all. Sun Zhengyi seemed to notice it, so he invited him and another old man named Mitsui to another room.

Only then did we introduce the origin of Mr. Mitsui.

Sure enough, it's a big surname.

He has an extraordinary background, and several local gangs are at his disposal. He is the real boss behind the scenes.

There are countless assets under his hands.

The most famous of them are the three internally supported hotels, which are membership-based hotels that only provide services to a small circle and are not open to the outside world.

Only then did Zhou Buqi understand what this was for.

Just like a membership-only club in the United States, only members can enter. Another example is that some private clubs in China only serve people with status and rank, and outsiders cannot enter and spend money even if they have money.

This kind of place is nothing more than a few things between men and women. This model can avoid the public eye and protect the privacy of the guests.

When it comes to this kind of service, Japan is obviously the best, with a thousand-year-old traditional culture, such as geisha.

Mr. Mitsui gave a brief introduction.

Geisha culture was formed in the Edo period. By the 21st century, much of geisha culture has no longer attracted mainstream attention and is no longer suitable for the values ​​​​of the current new era.

However, how can we just abandon traditional culture?

The surname Mitsui originated in the Edo period, and it has a certain meaning of family inheritance and cultural inheritance, and it continues many geisha customs in the traditional sense.

The most important custom is to bid for "Shuiyang", also called "shooting for red".

It was the first time for a girl to be auctioned.

This kind of thing cannot be done in public, but it can be done in a closed internal aid hotel without outsiders.

This is the grandest event in several of his hotels.

Zhou Buqi is not surprised by this kind of thing.

There are also such elegant affairs in the traditional brothel culture in China. The customs of geisha in Japan are most likely passed from China.

Even now, Zhou Buqi has heard about similar things many times around him, whether it is a foreign private club or a domestic private club.

Meng Houkun told him once that he participated in the bidding once, and the bid reached 660,000, but failed. It is said that the final transaction price exceeded 3 million.

As an Internet entrepreneur, Zhou Buqi is no stranger to the dark web. Similar things abound on the dark web. Some people are even bolder. For example, in Germany, where transactions between men and women are legalized, someone founded an auction website.

The content of the auction is those poor and beautiful "Cinderellas".

Girls with poor families or in urgent need of funds can upload their relevant information to the website and wait for customers to bid.

The platform takes 20% of the transaction amount, and girls can get 80%.

Among them is a "Virgins" column that often fetched sky-high prices.

Among them, an 18-year-old young model from Romania completed a transaction on this website, and a Hong Kong businessman successfully bid for 2.3 million euros.

Zhou Buqi's heart was moved, but he didn't dare to participate even once.

Not afraid of others, but afraid of yourself.

Scumbags can't be too bottomless.

This kind of auction is really a test of human nature.

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, but they remain in the heart of the Buddha; if the world imitates me, it will be like entering the devil's path." Zhou Buqi felt that his realm was not enough, and he might enter the devil's path.

However, at this point, Zhou Buqi had already guessed Sun Zhengyi's purpose of inviting Mr. Mitsui to his home. He had previously told Sun Zhengyi that he wanted to replace all the maids at home with Japanese maids who are caring, sweet, well-behaved and obedient.

These young and beautiful maids in Son Zhengyi’s house are very eye-catching.

Apparently, this Mr. Mitsui is the one in charge.

Zhou Buqi is a little worried. Is this person reliable?

If he goes too far and is caught breaking the law, he will be implicated.

Unexpectedly, this Mitsui said that he had a legal business license. It's not the kind of license that means one thing in front of someone but another behind the scenes, or it's the actual license for the business activities he is actually engaged in.

This is another piece of dusty history.

Zhou Buqi also opened his eyes.

In fact, from a legal point of view, Japan's requirements in this regard are very strict, and in some aspects they are even stricter than those in China. But why have such customary places become national symbols in Japanese society?

Mainly in two aspects.

On the one hand, it is a loophole in the law.

For example, when a new bar is opened and the guests take the waiter out to book a room, even if there is a monetary transaction, it is difficult to define it. I've been in love for two hours, isn't it okay for the lovers to give each other some pocket money?

On the one hand, there is the continuity of the law.

Japanese culture has no gaps.

In the Edo period hundreds of years ago, similar transactions were legal, just like brothels in ancient China, and you could obtain a legal business license.

However, Japan's main political power has not changed, and the license issued in the Edo period is still valid in 2012.

Just like the famous custom street in Osaka, it is open to the public. The girls sit in the window like exhibits. Customers walk all the way and pay money to enter if they like them.

According to modern Japanese law, these are illegal. However, these are old houses in the old town that are hundreds of years old, and they have obtained serious legal licenses issued in the Edo period.

An important spirit of the law is that new laws cannot control old matters.

It is impossible to promulgate a new law and then go back decades or hundreds of years according to this law. That would be too devoid of the spirit of the rule of law. In that case, everyone has violated the law in the past hundreds of years.

Therefore, even in 2012, those old stores holding Edo Period license plates can still operate legally under the latest laws.

Like many shops in Shinjuku, men and women are not allowed to trade in the store, because this is a new store and does not have a license to allow real swords and guns. You can only drink, sing, dance and cuddle. If you want to develop further, you have to go to a hotel outside.

If it were one of those century-old stores, that would be awesome.

Can be legally traded directly in the store.

However, as long as the store is relocated or the house is renovated, the store will no longer be the same store as before, and the Edo Period license will be invalid.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer similar shops with legal licenses.

Mr. Mitsui also said that he owns several old bubble bath shops, which were also inherited from the Edo period.

This means having a license plate.

The service items can be very rich, no matter what you do is legal, you can truly feel the kind of service provided by the ancients hundreds of years ago. He wanted to invite Zhou Buqi to experience it, and he was sure it would be better than Wan-style service.

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Wan style service?"

Mr. Mitsui smiled and said: "I went there twice last year and did some research. I found that many Wan-style service items were learned from Japanese bubble baths, and many of the methods are not authentic."

Zhou Buqi was unhappy when he heard this.

How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?

Zhou Buqi argued rationally: "Wan-style service is actually a local feature that is rooted in traditional culture and incorporates a certain Thai bath style."

Mr. Mitsui shook his head, "No, it's an imitation of a bubble bath. You'll know after you experience it."

Zhou Buqi said: "Bubble baths are also learned from the traditional Chinese brothel culture. Don't put the cart before the horse, Mr. Mitsui."

Mr. Mitsui is very old and not in a good state, but when he talked about this kind of thing, he became more energetic. After thinking for a while, he actually agreed, "Well, that's true. Bubble baths are some localized improvements, Wan The services are also some modifications of localization. The nature is similar."

When Son Zhengyi heard what they were talking about, he couldn't help but slap his forehead. I felt like I was the one pulling the strings, and I felt a deep sense of guilt.

The old man Mitsui seemed to find a bit of a fellow-minded person in the young Zhou Buqi. He smiled and invited, "Zhou Jun, I strongly recommend that you try our bubble bath. My store can provide the purest bubble bath." Traditional service. Many modern services actually have no traditional flavor.”

"Traditional taste?" Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "What kind of taste?"

Mr. Mitsui asked: "Have you ever eaten the human body banquet?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

In fact, he has always wanted to try it, but he was a little afraid.

This is also a service that challenges human nature.

Once he broke through this level, Zhou Buqi worried that he would not be able to control his mood, and then he would fall all the way down.

Mr. Mitsui said: "Modern laws do not prohibit body feasting, but there are clear regulations that girls must be over 18 years old."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It should be."

Mr. Mitsui shook his head, "This is not traditional at all. It is an authentic traditional human body. The younger the girl, the better. The younger, the cleaner..."

Zhou Buqi couldn't stand listening anymore, "No, no, you must be over 18 years old. Let girls have the right to make their own choices. This is the bottom line."
