Hideo Kagawa is a young journalist with a sense of crisis. He was born in Japan after the Plaza Agreement and personally experienced the "lost ten years" of Japan, and then twenty years. When he was still very young, Japanese manufacturing was a very awesome concept, and Japanese society also circulated about how the Yamato nation was persevering and bravely moving forward. He was a staunch nationalist since he was a child.

However, as he grew older, he found that the passionate things around him were getting less and less. His friends were only paying attention to new episodes of salary slips and anime. The innate brain talent of the Japanese once created countless beautiful home appliances and daily necessities. Now, these imaginations are completely applied to the design of ghost plots in tokyo_hot.

The Japanese will also dissipated with the stagnation of the economy. Hideo Kagawa saw that when facing natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, people showed terrible calmness, or indifference, and rarely had heroes who dared to die generously. He once watched a science fiction movie, where the earth was about to hit Jupiter and was destroyed, the Chinese were working together to fight for a rescue plan with zero success probability, and the Japanese chose to pull out their guns and commit suicide before the earth was destroyed.

Is this society so swollen?

This is the questioning and shouting from the bottom of Kagawa Hideo.

As a reporter who specializes in reporting on Sankei Shimbun, he feels that he has the obligation to expose Japan's decline and use such reports to awaken the Chinese people. In the past few years, he has interviewed many bankrupt entrepreneurs and unemployed workers, and has also written many articles criticizing society on social media. Unfortunately, Japanese society is so decadent, everyone is pretending to be asleep, and his shouts are like singing to a black hole, and even a little echo cannot arouse.

Yesterday, he received a call. The person who called himself "Mr. Yuan" said that he was a Chinese who had lived in Japan for many years. He collected a lot of shady stories about large Japanese companies and wanted to sell them to Hideo Kagawa. Hideo Kagawa was sensitively aware that this was a good opportunity to uncover the scars of Japan's economy. What he reported in the past were some small and medium-sized enterprises, which were not very popular. If several large Japanese companies could be found to be exposed and exposed, it might be able to cause social response.

"I have the steel inspection records of Sedo Steel Manufacturing and use inferior materials as good information. If I remember correctly, the steel produced by Sedo Steel Manufacturing is also used in many nuclear power plants in Japan, which means that the matter on Fukushima will not be the last. Once these nuclear power plants cause accidents due to steel quality problems, the entire Japan will sink into the Pacific Ocean."

After seeing Hideo Kagawa sitting down in front of him, Guo Peiyuan did not go around in circles and threw out the hot news directly.

"What? Sedo Steel Factory!" Even though Kagawa Hideo was fully prepared, she was frightened at this moment. Sedo Steel Factory was simply a symbol of Japanese quality. How could such a company tamper with steel inspection records?

Japan has not had product quality problems, but all disclosed product quality problems are caused by mistakes by the manufacturer and are not intentional. What Guo Peiyuan told Kagawa Hideo that Sendo Steel deliberately tampered with inspection records, which is a subjective fraud, and its nature is ten thousand times more serious than other product quality problems.

"Mr. Yuan, do you know how serious this matter is? If you cannot provide conclusive evidence, then this is a false accusation and injury to the reputation of the company and a criminal act." Hideo Kagawa said solemnly to Guo Peiyuan.

Guo Peiyuan took out a file bag from his bag and pushed it to Hideo Kagawa and said, "I have some evidence here, but because I am not a reporter and do not have the right to investigate, my evidence may not be very accurate. However, I think you should believe me after you have seen it, because the evidence I provide can support each other."

Kagawa Hideo opened the file bag and there were a few pages of printing paper inside. It was covered with clues compiled by Guo Peiyuan. The remaining information was all copies of newspapers and journals, as well as copying orders and inspection records from where I didn’t know where to get it. Kagawa Hideo simply looked at the copies and knew that these things should be true. If it was fake evidence created by Guo Peiyuan, then the amount of the fake project would be too large.

Then he began to read the contents on the printed papers, which told him a story like this:

In order to obtain higher profits, Sedo Steel artificially reduced the proportion of precious alloys in alloy steel, and by modifying inspection records, it deceived thousands of users, making these counterfeit and inferior alloy steels with less alloy ratios less expensive, used in various occasions. This incident did not start today, but lasted for nearly 20 years. The earliest fraud records can be traced back to the early 1990s.

The evidence provided by Guo Peiyuan, including some quality accidents disclosed in the media and academic journals, appeared in these accidents. The accident analysis report did not mention the steel quality problems, but attributed the cause of the accident to welding defects, operational errors, improper design, etc. If you look at a certain quality accident in isolation, the explanation in the analysis report may be convincing. But if you put all these accidents together and add a little tip, a little smart person will think of whether there are defects in the steel, because if the causes of these accidents are attributed to steel defects, it is undoubtedly a more reasonable explanation.

Hideo Kagawa also saw several test reports, of course they were also copies. The ones issued these reports were some authoritative testing institutions in Japan, with their stamps on them, and Hideo Kagawa was not unwilling to believe them. The samples in the test reports were all steel, but did not explain the origin of the steel. On the copy, there were handwritten notes, claiming that these steels came from the scene of several quality accidents. The ones who submitted these steels to the testing institutions were not the official Japanese investigation agency, but an anonymous social group.

"Did you send these tests to do?" Kagawa Hideo looked at Guo Peiyuan and asked.

Guo Peiyuan smiled slightly and said, "This is done by my group."

"Why didn't these results be made public?"

"Why should we make it public?"

"But, if it is unfair to the public, why do you have to do such a test?"

Guo Peiyuan laughed: "Young people, we are not philanthropists, and the public interest has nothing to do with us. The purpose of our inspection is to get some money from Sengho Steel. You know, large companies are more generous in hiding some things."

"So that's it..." Hideo Kagawa really understood. It was obvious that the group where Guo Peiyuan was located had already grasped the fraud of Sedo steelmaking, so he collected steel samples at the scene of the accident and sent them to anonymously to an authoritative agency for testing. Then he used these test reports to blackmail Sedo and demanded closure fees.

If this story is true, it means that Sedo Steel Manufacturing intends to fake it, and after the counterfeit and inferior products cause an accident, it still adopts the method of closure to deceive the public. Such a story is so dark that it suffocates Hideo Kagawa, and it is precisely this suffocating feeling that tells Hideo Kagawa that this is a big news, a big news that is enough to cause a major earthquake in Japanese society.

"I want these information!" Kagawa Hideo made a decision in an instant.

"Our asking price is not low." Guo Peiyuan said sinisterly. Practice shows that Bao Chengming asked Guo Peiyuan to do this with great keenness. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to act like a dark group agent who is profit-oriented.

Guo Peiyuan is not actually acting. When Bao Chengming submitted these materials to him, he told him that even though he spoke to the reporter, the higher the reward he asked, the more he would believe in the authenticity of these materials. No matter how much money he wanted, everything belonged to him, and Bao Chengming would not want a penny.

"Tell me, how much is it?" Hideo Kagawa asked.

Guo Peiyuan stretched out a finger and said, "100 million yen."

"100 million!" Kagawa Hideo widened her eyes, "Mr. Moto, this price is too high, right?"

Guo Peiyuan shrugged and said, "Mr. Kagawa, do you know how much money our group has spent to collect these information? Once these information are handed over to you, it will have no value to us, and we will not be able to do such a business in the future. If our group had not been tired of this business, we would not have taken out the information to sell it."

Hideo Kagawa was speechless. Of course he could see the value of this stack of information. If Guo Peiyuan's group really made a living by extorting companies, then once this matter was revealed, their business would come to an end, and perhaps the Sengoku would chase them crazily. From this perspective, Guo Peiyuan's request for a reward of 100 million yen is really not a bad intention.

"I personally can't afford the money," said Hideo Kagawa.

"Where is your newspaper?" Guo Peiyuan asked.

Hideo Kagawa shook his head: "The newspaper will not be willing to pay such money. Moreover, if I report this to the newspaper, I will not be the one who will report this news in the end. Mr. Yuan, I would like to remind you that you should not hope to sell such news clues to the newspaper. The newspaper may leak this matter to the company in order to get more benefits from the company. In the whole of Japan, the only one who can report this news with justice is I, Hideo Kagawa. Because... I am a conscientious reporter."
