Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Learn more information, maybe it will be useful in future investigations," Chi Feichi thought that Midorikawa Saki would soon go to a male escort club to meet Honma Kyo, and took the initiative to ask, "Ledo, have you ever been to a male escort club?"

Midorikawa Saki almost spit out the bacon roll in her mouth, and quickly increased her chewing speed, chewed the bacon roll casually and swallowed it, feeling a little amused, "You asked too directly, didn't you?"

Chi Feichi looked up at Midorikawa Saki, and asked calmly, "For work, wouldn't it be better to communicate more directly?"

Midorikawa Saki remembered that she would soon become a male escort club customer, so she Realizing that Chi Feichi wanted to communicate with him about the work, he put down his chopsticks, "Okay, let's communicate directly. To be honest, I have been to a gigolo club before..."

As he spoke, Midorikawa Saki carefully recalled and counted, "There were four times in total. The first time, a girl who performed with me in the bar invited us to the gigolo club to celebrate her 'responsibility's' birthday. Because she ordered a sumptuous dinner for the birthday party, I wanted to save a meal, so I went with everyone..."

Chi Feichi was relieved to see Midorikawa Saki talk about the free meal so openly.

It's not because his subordinates can save money...

It's because Midorikawa Saki can openly talk about her past free meal ideas, which shows that Midorikawa Saki is now firm and fulfilled in her heart. Whether it is the money given by the organization that gave Midorikawa Saki confidence, or Midorikawa Saki is strong in her heart, this is a good thing.

A person who is confident in himself will actually work more efficiently...

Mizukawa Saki didn't know that Chi Feichi was evaluating her work ability, so she asked again, "By the way, you should know what 'responsibility' means, right?"

"When a woman goes to a gigolo shop for the first time, she needs to designate a gigolo as her 'responsibility', that is, the so-called person in charge," Chi Feichi directly stated the rules he had learned about. "Responsibility is usually a permanent nomination system. A customer can only designate one gigolo as the person in charge in the same shop. After the designation, it cannot be changed. When the customer consumes in the shop in the future, he can only be accompanied by the person in charge he designated. Drinking and chatting, in addition, the customer must also be accompanied by the person in charge he designated when going to the bathroom."

What if the customer designates a gigolo as the person in charge when he goes to the shop for the first time, and then he falls in love with another gigolo in the shop? Sorry, that can't be changed.

This is a unified rule in the Japanese gigolo industry. The purpose should be to prevent conflicts caused by gigolos maliciously snatching customers. At the same time, this can also prevent a large number of gigolos from only circling around a few big money holders, and allow some gigolos who have not been designated by big money holders to divide their minds on other customers.

This rule can protect part of the interests of the gigolos and maximize the interests of the shops, so this is a rule jointly supported by the gigolos and shops.

Even if the customer is a big money sponsor who can spend tens of millions of yen a night, it is difficult to change this rule. Unless the customer has the power to clean up the entire gigolo circle and influence the gangster organization behind the custom industry, otherwise the shop is unwilling to violate this industry-wide rule.

If the customer really wants to designate a certain gigolo and cannot change the person in charge due to the permanent nomination system, he can actually spend money to persuade the gigolo to work in another shop. As long as the customer pays enough money, the gigolo will be willing to switch to another shop. At that time, the customer can go to the shop where the gigolo has switched to and designate the gigolo as the person in charge.

However, it may cost a lot of money to get the gigolo to agree to change jobs, and most customers will not do this.

If you don’t like the person in charge you have designated in a certain shop, the customer can choose not to go to that shop. There are more than one or two gigolo shops. Can’t you just change to another shop? Maybe you can meet someone more pleasing to the eye in other shops?

Some customers even have a relationship with multiple male escort clubs at the same time. They go to whichever club they like, and go to a new club if they don't like any of them.

Seeing that Chi Feichi did understand the rules of the male escort industry, Midorikawa Saki did not explain it any more and continued to talk about his experience of going to a male escort club. "The second time I went to a male escort club was on the way home from get off work. My colleague and I were stopped by a flyer distributor. Because the flyer distributor gave us a discount coupon, we could have two free drinks that day and there were also small gifts. We thought it would be nice to find a place to sit and chat, so we went to that male escort club together. The third time was similar. It happened that a male escort club had a discount event. Eating and drinking in the club was cheaper than outside. After the flyer distributor recommended it, my colleague and I went there..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Other people go to male escort clubs to spend money to find male escorts to eat, drink and chat with them. Midorikawa goes to a male escort club to eat and drink for free?

"The fourth time I went to Cowherd's shop was because I was not in a good mood. During that time, I thought that Yongliang might not come back." Midorikawa Saki held the wine glass in her right hand and lowered her eyes to see the liquid on the wall of the glass. Shaking out a shallow arc, he recalled his mood at that time, looking a little dazed, "I had been unlucky since the morning that day. I was splashed with water while walking on the road, and sprained my foot when crossing the overpass. I couldn't go back to work. I had no choice but to call and ask for leave and go to the hospital. After confirming that my foot injury was fine, I returned home and stayed for a while. Suddenly I felt at a loss as to what I should do. I felt that the house was so quiet that I felt depressed. But because my foot injury hadn’t healed yet, I couldn’t go out for a run to relax. I sat at home and thought about what I could do, and suddenly I remembered the Cowherd’s shop I went to for the third time. I randomly assigned a person to be in charge and had a pretty good chat with the other person. Thinking of this, I took a taxi to the Cowherd shop. I was thinking that this way I could have a place to sit and rest for a while, and have someone to talk to. It doesn’t seem to matter if you pay some money…”

Midorikawa Saki came back to her senses, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, raised her eyes and smiled at Chi Feichi, "This is the marketing trick of Cowherd's store, first use low prices to attract customers to the store, and let the customers If you feel the fulfilling feeling of being accompanied by others, when customers want to be accompanied in the future, they will take the initiative to go to the store to make purchases. ”

"How much did you spend in the store that time?" Chi Feichi asked in a hoarse voice.

"One hundred thousand..." Midorikawa Saki's expression became complicated, she put down her wine glass, and sighed dejectedly, "The cowherd had to receive other guests that day, so we had to stop chatting for a while because he was going The other customers stayed there for a while and then came back. It was really uncomfortable to feel like the chat was interrupted again and again. And the cowherd told me with an apologetic look that his wine sales this month were still a little behind. , I had to go drink with other guests, I hope I forgive him, and he also offered to express his apology and bear the cost of my drinks. I don’t want to owe him a favor, and I saw him trying to return to my seat. , I feel a little bad about drinking quickly with guests, so..."

"So you ordered expensive drinks to help him boost his performance." Chi Feichi drank the wine in the glass and analyzed carefully, "He interrupted the chat with you and went to accompany other guests just to make you feel uncomfortable. , probably because you looked worried that day, letting him see that you really wanted to talk to someone, so he used this method, hoping to force you to spend more money and keep him by your side, but You were not fooled, so he used the second method. This method should be called "sick camp" in the Cowherd industry. It is usually used on regular customers. Some Cowherds will complain to regular customers and behave He looks worried and anxious about his work performance, which makes regular customers spend money out of sympathy. Some cowherds are more skillful and will use live performances to make girls feel that he works very hard and that his presence also adds to his Trouble, the Cowherd himself will not complain to the girl. On the contrary, he will comfort the girl not to take it to heart, showing a very responsible look, and at the same time hinting to the girl that he does not treat the girl as a guest in a money transaction. Let the girl feel that there is friendship or other feelings between the two, which will lead to feelings of guilt and remorse, regret, or help a friend, and make high-priced purchases in the store. The cowherd you meet is not bad..."

Midorikawa Saki: "..."

(゜-゜)

How much did Lark know about Cowherd's business methods? Shouldn't you have understood everything?

Let’s not talk about whether Honma Kyou will learn bad traits from the cowherd, but why does she feel that... her boss is about to learn it?
