Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 597 - 599: The Six Major Zaibatsu
Qin Hao shook his head and smiled faintly, "No worries, they sure have put up a big show across there."
Li Bao said disdainfully, "All flash and no bang. Hao, don't be fooled by the fact they're from a martial arts school. Our guys from the Flying Leopard Guard Battalion could take on several of them single-handedly."
At this moment, Sato Tarou and his group also came downstairs, and several people from Beihai Country hurried in: "Mr. Sato, are you okay?"
Qin Hao looked at those people, among them some he recognized, including Yasuhara Jiro, the Vice President of Luxing Pharmaceutical, and that Wang Changrui, as well as another person who seemed to be the President of Luxing Pharmaceutical.
Mr. Sato sure has a significant background, with connections to Shenwu Security Company, martial arts schools, pharmaceutical factories, and even the world-renowned clothing brand Liangyi Store, among others.
Sato Tarou snorted coldly, "A bunch of failures, if I were in trouble I would have been dead long ago, what use are you to me."
Everyone fell silent, which showed just how high Sato Tarou's prestige was.
He left with his entourage, and soon after, the people from the martial arts school and Shenwu Security Company also departed.
Qin Hao turned his head and saw Nie Hongwen. He beckoned him over and Nie Hongwen hesitated for a moment before approaching, "Mr. Qin, did you want to see me for something?"
Qin Hao looked at him and asked, "What's the deal with this Mr. Sato? Are you familiar with him?"
Nie Hongwen looked at him in surprise, "This is the first time I'm meeting him too. Mr. Qin, don't you know about the Sato Family from Beihai Country?"
Qin Hao replied, "I don't. Are they famous?"
Nie Hongwen explained, "Beihai Country has six major financial groups, and the Sato Family is one of them. The person just now, Sato Tarou, is the young master of the Sato Family."
Six major financial groups?
Qin Hao's face showed a thoughtful expression; he hadn't paid attention to these kinds of matters before. It seemed he needed to have Li Wenjun provide him with more information on this.
Although he was not sure how strong the Sato Family was, from the events that had just unfolded, Qin Hao could infer their strength.
If they wielded such considerable power in Xuan Country, let alone in Beihai Country.
Beihai Country's industrial development preceded that of Xuan Country by many years. During World War II, Beihai Country had a significant number of aircraft carriers, while it was only recently that Xuan Country had produced its first.
The growth of industry spawned many financial conglomerates, and those that could be counted among Beihai Country's six major financial groups undoubtedly had substantial influence in both the political and business realms.
Qin Hao left Windsor KTV and then got into the car and drove away.
Not far away, Jiang Xue and her friend saw him. Her friend said curiously, "Isn't that Mr. Qin? What's he doing here? Oh, I get it now. Flying Leopard Security is one of his companies. He must have been bullied here and called for backup. Too bad a fight didn't break out."

After leaving Windsor KTV, Qin Hao hurried home. On the way, he called Li Wenjun and asked him to investigate the issue of Beihai Country's six major financial groups.
…
After Sato Tarou returned to his residence, he also ordered an investigation into Qin Hao. He couldn't swallow this insult.
He vowed to get his revenge. A mere upstart dared to challenge the authority of the Sato Family.
"Send me the information immediately once the investigation is clear. I'll make his life worse than death," Sato Tarou said with a chilling tone.
The Red Sun Organization, one of the world's seven largest assassination groups, was established and trained by the Sato Family and the Anpei Family for these unsavory tasks.
When Qin Hao arrived home, it was already past six-thirty. Han Meng had already prepared dinner, and Zhao Yuying's family was also there.
"Xiao Hao is back. I haven't seen you in a while and you seem to have gained even more of a presence," Zhao Xingbo said to him with a smile.
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "Mr. Zhao, stop teasing me. I don't have any kind of presence."
Zhao Yuying laughed and said, "Enough talking, come and eat. We've been waiting for you for so long."
Wang Zhi gave Zhao Yuying a disapproving look, "How can you talk to Xiao Hao like that? You're getting less and less sensible."
Zhao Yuying chuckled awkwardly and stuck out her tongue, while Qin Hao quickly said, "It's okay, Auntie, Ying and I are really familiar with each other now."
Indeed, they were very familiar with each other, so familiar they'd even been to bed together—how could they not be?!!
After freshening up, Qin Hao took out a bottle of wine to drink with Zhao Xingbo. Zhao Yuying furrowed her brows slightly, "We're going to see a movie later, why are you drinking now?"
Zhao Xingbo glared at her, "I've noticed you're getting more and more out of line. Don't interrupt when Xiao Hao and I are talking."
Qin Hao hurriedly said, "It's fine, Ying, we're just going to have a little bit, it won't affect our movie-watching. Here, Mr. Zhao, I'll toast to you."
Zhao Yuying glared at him and sat down to eat her meal, huffing with annoyance.
After dinner, Zhao Xingbo spoke up, "You go on to the movie. I need to head back to sleep."
Wang Zhi said, "I won't go either. I will stay home to look after Mr. Zhao. Xiao Hao, you go with Yu Ying and the others."
Qin Hao, Zhao Yuying, Han Meng, and Qiao'er, the four of them, arrived at the nearby Wanhao Square, where there was a Wanhao Cinema.
The cinema was teeming with people—young couples and families of three, among others.
Qin Hao also noticed the movie schedule on the big screen: of the nine theaters, seven would be showing the movie "Mechanical Soldier" at eight o'clock.
The main reason was that the online response to Mechanical Soldier was just too positive, forcing many cinemas to change their schedules.
Even with seven out of nine theaters at Wanhao Cinema switched to "Mechanical Soldier," there were still not enough showings. Many people in the lobby were protesting.
"What's going on with your cinema? I've been to eight cinemas, and there are no tickets left. Are people even allowed to watch movies anymore?"
"Sorry, sir, we've already allocated seven theaters for 'Mechanical Soldier'."
"Aren't there a few theaters left? What about those two?"
"Those two theaters have other films scheduled."
"But does anyone buy tickets for them? If no one buys tickets, then change it to 'Mechanical Soldier'. So many people are waiting."
"Yeah, yeah, change it to 'Mechanical Soldier', it's not like they're doing anything anyway."
"Sir, please wait a moment, we'll contact the boss."
...
With movie tickets in hand, Zhao Yuying said, "I asked someone to buy these in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get any."
The four entered the cinema, which was already packed with people and nearly full.
Qin Hao and his friends settled into their seats, and watched the movie until after ten. Qin Hao watched it intently and found it really good, especially the special effects, which could be described as stunning and classic.
Exiting the cinema, Qiao'er said with a smile, "Dad, you looked so cool in that movie. It was really amazing. I want to be like Aunt Yu Ying, someone so awesome."
Zhao Yuying smiled and replied, "Qiao'er, that's just a movie. Things like that don't happen in real life."
Qin Hao looked calmly at the night sky, that vast and endless expanse of stars was by no means simple. The falling of D-grade metal was the best proof of that.
Back home, Han Meng took Qiao'er off to sleep—it was back to school for her tomorrow, and she needed to attend classes.
Qin Hao and Zhao Yuying were in the study, waiting for midnight, when the first-day box office results for "Mechanical Soldier" would come out.
