不法風俗店経営者YANG YICHENGの詳しい説明 YANG YICHENG 漢字の名前は： 楊　億成(ヨウ　オクセイ) 楊　億程(ヨウ　オクテイ) のどちらになります。楊　億成である可能性は一番高い。 (旧Twitterで彼がアップロードしたそういう情報を見た覚えがある。絶対にこの2つの漢字名のどちらになる。) 中華人民共和国広東省珠海市出身(旧Twitterで彼がアップロードしたそういう情報を見た覚えがある。記憶が絶対に正しいという保証はないですが)。 1997年5月13日に生まれ。 イギリスに留学した経験がある。ブリストル大学に留学したと彼は昔旧Twitterで話した。 イギリスに居た間に彼は日本語能力試験N1に合格した。 (彼の日本語能力試験N1合格証書番号：16B6050301-10026) その後は日本に来て仕事をする。 今は帰化して日本国籍になったかもしれない(彼自身の話によると)。 2014年から現在まで、FaceBook、X(旧Twitter)、LINE、Wechat、Telegram、YoutubeなどのSNSを通して、ずっととある青年に嫌がらせをして、その青年の写真をあちこちで拡散していた。 彼がその青年に嫌がらせをする原因は、彼は中国の極端な愛国主義者で、その青年は反中国大統一思想で反中国共産党で、台湾や香港、中国各地の独立を主張する、いわゆる異端政見者反乱分子売国奴だから。 2022年から、彼は日本の電話番号を使って、その青年に嫌がらせをし始めた。 彼の話によると、彼も日本で不法風俗店を経営しています。店は武蔵浦和にある。 彼が経営する不法風俗店の中国語版のホームページ：pink007.com 彼が経営する不法風俗店の日本語版のホームページ：http://aroma-relax.red/ 彼の店の電話番号(彼が私に嫌がらせした時に使った電話番号でもある)：080-8041-9101 彼自身のもう一つの電話番号：090-5654-7841 彼はいつもTelegramの公開グループを使って在日中国人に向けて売春婦を紹介している。 彼のTelegram公開グループのurl： https:// t.me/japanfuzoku　(グループ名前：日本東京大阪風俗情報交流) 彼自身もよく池袋や新大久保、新宿で売春斡旋をする。彼は春風十里の郭磊と薛鷹とは知り合いです。同じ中国人向けの不法風俗店を経営する者だから。彼はよく春風十里から彼の嫌がらせ対象であるその青年の個人情報を取ってネットでその青年を攻撃している。何度もその青年の名誉を毀損して肖像権を侵害した。彼は高橋とも知り合いです。前回2024年8月13日で高橋がその青年を脅迫した事件において高橋に情報を提供した可能性はある。その件は既に荒川警察署と池袋警察署に通報済み。 YANG YICHENGは現在、主にXとTelegramを利用して東京で売春斡旋犯罪をやっている。日本人売春婦を日本に常駐する在日中国人や中国人観光客に紹介して本番付きの売春をさせる。 XとTelegramで彼のメインアカウント名は東京淡水魚/東京奈良深海魚(@danshuiyu_Tokyo)で、もちろん他にも沢山のサブアカウントを持っている。 彼のTelegram公開グループのurl：https://t.me/japanfuzoku (グループ名前：日本東京大阪風俗情報交流) 彼のXアカウントのホームページ：https://x.com/danshuiyu_Tokyo 彼のInstagramアカウントのホームページ：https://www.instagram.com/yicheng6689 YANG YICHENGの手下に、KotoとAnという芸名の二人の日本人売春婦は居る。Kotoは純種日本人で、Anは日本人とフィリピン人のハーフです。この二人の日本人売春婦はYANG YICHENGの手下のメインなキャストです。また、彼の手下にもう一人の在日中国人売春婦も居る。 また、彼はIP電話などの技術を使い、複数の異なる番号を使って他人に電話をかけ、詐欺や嫌がらせをやっている。昔(大体2024年2月の頃)、彼は不法風俗店「狼友」のオープンチャットで、彼は中国共産党が資金を提供している在日中国人のプロパガンダ組織の一員であることを自分で話した。つまり彼は売春斡旋と詐欺と親中プロパガンダを同時にやっている可能性が高い。 2025年1月15日、彼は彼の嫌がらせ対象の青年の友達である寺澤拓磨さんに、複数の番号の嫌がらせ電話を掛けた。彼が拓磨さんに嫌がらせした時に使う電話番号は下記通りです： 07083575045 07090710950 07091825535 07091084033 07089673953 07091655463 現時点で、YANG YICHENGは関西に引っ越しした可能性がある(彼が2024年12月6日でXでポスタした文章によるとそうなる)。彼は今TelegramとXを通じて同時に東京都と奈良県の在日中国人相手に売春斡旋をやっている。 現在、楊億成は、KotoとAnを連れて、東京と関西を往来しながら、在日中国人たちを相手に売春させている。 2025年2月16日以降、楊億成はCity Heavenを通して、池袋のHYPER TOKYOという風俗店に在籍する愛須心愛という日本人売春婦を在日中国人たちに紹介して、日本語が分からない在日中国人たちの代わりに愛須心愛を予約して、在日中国人たちから代理予約料金を取るという売春斡旋もやっている。愛須心愛が在日中国人たちに提供するのは本番付きのサービスであることを楊億成は彼のTelegramのグループで明白に言った。 また、YANG YICHENGはとある政治話題のLINEオープンチャット「激論討論会」で、サブアカウントを使って自分の売春斡旋犯罪行為を認めた。しかも、彼は自分に技術と知恵があるから日本の警察みたいな倭人は永遠に自分を捕まえないと日本警察組織を嘲笑った。

2024年10月5日に警察によって捜査された、在日中国人が経営する不法風俗店「春風十里」と「夢巴黎」の経営者たち、その中の二人、薛鷹(夫)と陳立鳳(妻)です。 薛鷹は店長を務めていた。陳立鳳は受付スタッフを務めていた。 薛鷹は逃亡中で警察に指名手配されている。陳立鳳は既に逮捕された。 薛　鷹(セツ　イン)。池袋にある不法風俗店「春風十里」の店長である。「夢巴黎」は「春風十里」の支店である。「春風十里」では郭大鵬に次ぐ二番目のリーダーである。30代の男。中国福建省出身。元々は中国人民解放軍広東省軍区の技術一等兵だった。軍から退役した後は日本に来て、最初は孫佳森の弟分になりたいけど、孫佳森はそれを拒否。その後、薛鷹は郭大鵬と手を組んで、不法売春を組織するや、金融詐欺など色んな犯罪活動をやっている。 薛鷹は、データの盗取や盗聴、ハッキング、他人の情報を盗むなどあらゆる技術的な犯罪に長けている。 薛鷹は普段日本人売春婦と中国人の観光客の間に売春斡旋をやっている孫佳森という男を崇拝して、ずっと孫佳森と商売関係を保っている。 皆さん、薛鷹を見掛けたら、すぐ警察に通報して、この邪悪な在日中国人売春斡旋犯罪者薛鷹を逮捕させましょう！ 警視庁 池袋警察署 電話：03-3986-0110

郭　大鵬(カク　ダイホウ)。実名は郭磊(カク　ライ)/郭雷(カク　ライ)のどちらになる。池袋にある不法風俗店「春風十里」のオーナーである。「春風十里」の支店の名前は「夢巴黎」です。30代の男。中国黒竜江省伊春市出身。違法風俗店狼哥出張店の元ドライバーである。既に中国に強制送還された違法風俗店狼哥出張店の元オーナー狼哥孫偉偉の子分である。 2019年初、狼哥出張店の元ドライバーの一人、郭磊は自分で独立して、中国人民解放軍広東省軍区の元技術一等兵である薛鷹と共に、「春風十里」という風俗店を開いた。開店の最初の時期は、事務所を持ってなくで、中国から招いた売春婦を彼らが賃貸したマンションの部屋で待機させて、お客さんが予約したら女をお客さんが居るホテルに派遣するという形で営業していた。 2019年7月の頃、池袋東口のアルテル池袋というビルに「春風十里」の事務所を設立。売春婦たちをそこで待機させて、お客さんたちが事務所に来て、現場で売春婦たち本人を見て、気にいる売春婦を店が用意した無料マンションの部屋かホテルに連れていくという営業形を開始した。つまり、狼友と同じようなやり方で経営し始めた。日本人売春婦を店に招くために、長年以来ずっと日本人売春婦と中国人客の間で売春斡旋をやっている孫佳森とも協力し始めた。 2020年4月10日、孫佳森の元弟分である青年は孫佳森の店で、郭大鵬と薛鷹と口喧嘩になった。原因はその青年はネットで彼らの店の悪口を言っていたから。彼らは孫佳森の眼の前で、日本酒を収める長さ15cmくらいの瓶をその青年に突き出して、「もしお前がまた我々の悪口を言うならお前を叩き潰して大怪我をさせる」とかを言い出してその青年を脅迫したけど、その青年はそれでも真正面から強硬な態度で断固拒否した。彼らは流石に孫佳森の前に彼の手下を殴る度胸がないから、その日本酒の瓶を卓に叩いて、「いずれお前に痛い目を付けてやるから覚悟しろ！」などと吐き捨てて、店から出た。それから、その青年に報復するという形で、彼らは何回もネットでその青年の写真や実名、出身地などを晒し出した。 皆さん、春風十里は既に日本警察に壊滅されられて、郭磊は既に逮捕されて、薛鷹は未だに逃亡中で日本警察に指名手配されているけど、在日中国人が経営する風俗店は全て営業許可を持ってない不法風俗店で、その上で外国人の不法売春婦たちに本番をやらせる売春斡旋犯罪組織だから、絶対に行かないでください、絶対に関わらないでください。在日中国人が経営する不法風俗店を見かけたら、或いは在日中国人が経営する不法風俗店のスタッフや売春婦たちに誘われたら、すぐ警察に通報しましょう！

張燕=狼友80号婉兒/夢瑤=歓楽谷小仙女/楽楽/=火狐狸雯雯/小瑶瑶=究極LOVERS薫子=錦糸町メイド・本・舗えみり=春風十里小奶昔=艶合奶泡=愛麗絲学園果児 張燕。名前の英字は「Zhang Yan」。中国居民身分証番号：131126198204240109 不法売春をやっている在日中国人女性。 1982年4月24日に生まれ。 中国の北方工業大学から学士を卒業。 その後はアメリカに行ってアメリカの大学院でも修士プログラムを卒業して修士学位を得た(彼女自身の話によるとそうなる)。 更にその後は日本に来て、日本の大学院にも留学した。おおよそ2017年4月に来日。 2020年4月から2022年3月までは埼玉県のとある大学院の大学院生だった。経済学研究科で勉強していると彼女自身が言った。 調べによると、張燕は 埼玉大学大学院 人文社会科学研究科 国際日本アジア専攻 日本アジア経済経営コース 修士プログラム二年生であった可能性がある。 出身は中国の河北省衡水市故城県。両親との家は北京市にある。 主に東京にある中国人が経営する不法風俗店で働く。 2017年の時は東京都の世田谷区に住んでいた。 2020年～2021年初は山手線の田端駅に住んでいた。現在も東京に居ますが、詳しい住所は不明。身長は165cmくらいです。 2020年10月14日、張燕は「狼友」のオーナーである王鵬策の妻の紹介で狼友に入店して売春を始めた。最初は、「婉児」という名義を使って売春し始めた。 2020年10月19日の21時くらいに、狼友に来て複数の売春婦を予約して、花鳥風月ビルの2階のKTVで酒を飲んで売春婦たちに一緒に飲ませていた怒羅権のメンバーの一人、「KK」という渾名の中年おじさんは、酔っ払いの勢いで張燕を拐った。KKは張燕を東京都練馬区にあるKKの自宅まで連れて行った。 2020年10月20日、張燕は練馬区のKKの自宅から逃げ出した。最初KKは追っていたが、張燕は街中に逃げた時点でKKは追っかけるのを放棄。そして、王鵬策は直々に練馬区に行って、張燕を池袋へ連れ戻した。当日、王鵬策は張燕を狼友の支店である「桃花島」へ安置。同時に、張燕は接客用の名義を「婉児」から「夢瑶」に変更した。10月20日当日、張燕は接客を停止し、一日休んだ。 2020年10月21日、張燕は「桃花島」で再び接客を再開した。それから数日を経った後、張燕は「狼友」でも接客を再開した。そして、短時間内狼友の超人気嬢になった。 張燕は、今まで狼友の売春婦の中で学歴が一番高く、頭が一番賢い女です。当時38歳の高齢にも関わらず、整形やヒアルロン酸注射などの手段を使って、26歳と詐称して、あっという間に狼友の人気No.1売春婦になって、沢山の男を魅了させて自分の虜にして、男どもから沢山の金を搾り取った。 2020年10月14日から2021年1月20日までの間、張燕はずっと「狼友」で不法売春をやっていた。人気になればなるほど、彼女の態度も尊大不遜になった。彼女は誰であろうと彼女の悪口を言うことや彼女を批判することを許せなかった。 2021年1月21日、他の人がネットで張燕の本名や年齢、売春行為などをネットで晒したせいで、張燕は狼友を辞めた。 2021年1月22日～2021年2月22日、張燕は上野にある風俗店「歓楽谷」に入店して、「小仙女」と「楽楽」この二つの名義を使って、売春していた。その後、店の他の売春婦たちと不仲のせいで、張燕は「歓楽谷」から離れた。 2021年2月27日～2021年4月15日、張燕は上野と浅草の間にある「火狐狸」という風俗店に入店して、「雯雯」と「小瑶瑶」この二つの名義を使って、売春していた。でも、また他人の摘発によって、辞めた。 2021年4月16日~2021年4月30日前後、張燕は日暮里にある不法風俗店「究極LOVERS」にも入店して、「薫子」という名義で売春していた。 2021年5月、張燕は他人の摘発によって、「究極LOVERS」を辞めた。 2021年6月、張燕の敵であるとある青年は、自分と同じマンションに住んでいた、3階の301室の住民、Yanagi Kishi(日本に帰化した元中国人。50歳くらいのおじさん)から、張燕は彼にセックスや他の性的なサービスを提供して、彼に頼んで、その青年を跡形もなく日本社会から抹消するように頼んだという話を聞いた。張燕はYanagi Kishiの前でその青年の悪口を沢山言ったが、彼はそれを丸呑みにしなかった。張燕の話を半信半疑の彼は、その青年と会話して、真実を知って、その青年と敵対することを放棄した。そして、張燕の陰謀を全部その青年に打ち解け明けた。その後、暫く張燕は姿を消した。誰も彼女の行方を分からなかった。 その後、具体的な入店時期は不明だが、張燕は錦糸町にある「メイド・本・舗」という、日本人樋田俊介が店長を務める不法風俗店に入店して、「えみり」という名義を使って、再び不法売春をやり始めた。これは2022年で判明した事実です。 2023年1月、「錦糸町メイド・本・舗」の経営者樋田俊介らが逮捕された後、張燕の消息は不明。まだ日本に居るのか、中国に逃げ帰ったのか、その時点ではまだ分からなかった。 2023年夏の頃、張燕はまだ東京に居て、Wechatの公開グループ「東京二手中古交易市場」で中古商品の売買をしていたことが判明。その公開グループで彼女の売春行為と名前が摘発されて、彼女はそのグループから離れた。 2023年10月、張燕は東京で不法売春を続けていることが判明。日本で何年も不法売春を斡旋しているポンヒキ詐欺犯罪者陳向東(永住者。1967年5月16日に生まれ。現在は「牟宇」に改名。中国居民身分証番号：110102196705162335)の紹介で、個人売春婦として東京の上野と池袋の辺りで不法売春活動をやっている。 2024年初、張燕は池袋にある不法風俗店「春風十里」に入店したことが判明。春風十里での名義は「小奶昔」です。 2024年10月5日、「春風十里」は日本警察の捜査によって壊滅。張燕と他の一部の売春婦は当日出勤してないから逮捕を逃した。今は逃亡中。 2024年10月11日の時点で、春風十里の客引きLINEグループで、張燕の常連客が張燕に代わってグループのメンバーたちにWechatアカウントのIDの提供を要求している。彼は「小奶昔は10月5日に出勤してないから、逮捕されてない」と言った。その常連客が公開した小奶昔という女のLINEアカウントは、間違いなく張燕のものです。「張燕を予約したいであれば、男たちが先にWechat IDを提供して、そして張燕から男たちのWechatアカウントにリクエストを送る」という彼が公開した情報から、張燕はまた東京に居て個人売春婦として接客していることが判明。 2024年11月中旬の時点で、春風十里の客引きLINEグループの一部の客人が提供した情報によって、張燕は新大久保にある在日中国人不法風俗店「艶合」で働いていることが判明。「艶合」のオーナーは春風十里の店長薛鷹の友達です。春風十里は警察によって壊滅された後、捜査から逃れた春風十里の一部の売春婦は艶合に入店して売春を再開した。特に張燕はその中の大人気な売春婦になっている。張燕の艶合での名義は「奶泡」です。艶合は主に新大久保に接客用のマンション個室を持っているが、池袋にも接客用のマンション個室を用意している。現在、張燕は主に池袋の方の接客用のマンション個室を使って売春している。 2025年1月8日、張燕は池袋にある在日中国人が経営する不法風俗店「愛麗絲学園」に入店して出勤した。彼女が愛麗絲学園で使う名義は「果児」です。一日だけ出勤したが、当日の夕方で身分がバレてすぐ辞めた。1月9日の0時45分の頃、愛麗絲学園のオーナーは店の客引きLINEグループで、張燕を永遠に採用しないと宣言した。現在、張燕の行方は不明。 この女はいつも嘘をついている詐欺師です。 毎日男の金と感情を騙し取る。 彼女はいつも金を使って不法風俗店を宣伝するネットサイト「逍遥日本網」と「東京夜遊網」の管理員たちを買収して、自分に有利な偽りの賞賛言葉やコメントを書かせて、自分に不利な批判やコメントを削除させる。 自分の利益の為に、どんな汚い手段でも使う卑怯の極まりない糞女です。 1982年4月24日に生まれたことを彼女自身がQQの個人プロフィールで記載した。これは彼女の実の生まれ年月日です。 しかも、彼女が過去にWechatで書いた文章の中で、1981年5月10日に生まれたことをも彼女自身が言った。その「1981年5月10日に生まれた」のは、多分中国北方の一部の区域の旧習で、子供が生まれる前に胎児である一年間も加えて計算される時間で、「虚歳」と呼ばれる。本物の43歳ババアです。 しかもその顔はかなり整形した。整形娼婦です。 彼女の一番旧いWechatの名前は「婉晴」です。彼女の一番旧いWechat IDはbjxuanxuan20140728です。 彼女の二番目旧いWechatの名前は「amy」です。彼女の二番目旧いWechat IDはTokyo2020amyです。 彼女の現在のWechatの名前は「.」です。彼女の現在のWechat IDはQueen19991314です。 彼女のLINEの名前は「アメ」です。現在は「ゆき」に改名した。 張燕のQQ ID：389314406 そもそも、外国人留学生である張燕は日本の風俗店で働くこと自体は入国管理法に違反した。監獄に入った後は自国に強制送還されるべきです。 現時点で、張燕が持っている在留資格は不明。2022年3月で修士を卒業したから、仮に上手く就職できたと想定して、或いは、日本人と偽結婚をしたと想定して、今は、「高度専門職1号ロ」、「技術・人文知識・国際業務」、「日本人配偶者」、「永住者」この4つの在留資格のどちらを持っている可能性は高い。 張燕の個人電話番号(日本) その1：090-9205-2084 張燕の個人電話番号(日本) その2：080-5536-9525 少なくともこの2つは彼女が過去に確実に使っていた日本国内の電話番号です。今はまだ使っているかどうかは不明です。 張燕の個人電話番号(中国) その1：(+86)13701290173[北京移动] 張燕の個人電話番号(中国) その2：(+86)15138218503 張燕の個人電話番号(中国) その3：(+86)15851919961 張燕が中国に居た時の住所：北京南三环东路14号楼(南三环东路)14号楼1308 こいつを見付けたら必ず警察署に通報してください。 皆さん、一緒に警察署に通報して、この張燕という不法売春婦を監獄に送りましょう！

陳向東、1967年5月16日に生まれ、日本の永住権を取得した中国人。 普段は在日中国人の不法風俗圏に買春客でありながら、売春婦と買春客の間にポン引きの商売をやっている。 中国人売春婦たちの不法売春に助力する犯罪者、在日中国人陳向東。 彼はいつも自営業する中国人売春婦たちの商売を応援して、売春婦たちに客を紹介する。 陳向東の在留カード番号(旧)：RC13025787EA 陳向東の中国パスポート番号(旧)：G45871030 陳向東の中国居民身分証番号：110102196705162335 現在は日本の東京に居て、中国人の不法風俗圏で活動している。 陳向東は複数のWechatとLINEアカウントを持っている。 彼は毎日それらのアカウントを使って、女たちと男たちを騙し誘導して、不法売春行為を斡旋する。 陳向東の常用電話その1：070-1065-7049 陳向東の常用電話その2：090-9818-5370 陳向東の主なWechat ID：cxd_2023- 陳向東のWechatアカウントは数多くに存在する。 それらのアカウントは、彼が詐欺活動を行う時に使う主な道具だ。 彼はそれらのWechatアカウントを使って、嘘をついて劣質な売春婦たちを完璧な美女として宣伝して、男たちを誑かす。 騙された男たちを客として、劣質な売春婦たちに紹介する。 劣質な売春婦にお客さんを紹介して商売を与えることが成功したら、彼自身の報酬として、彼はお客さんが売春婦に払ったサービス料金から何割のお金を取る。 客が騙されることを発覚して、劣質な売春婦たちと彼の詐欺行為を批判したら、彼は嘘話を作ったりデタラメなことを言いたり、その客を中傷して、その客が悪人だと大嘘をばら撒いて、他の売春婦や客たちにその客に接近しないように言いまくる。 その誹謗手段に加えて、彼はその手に持つ複数のアカウントを使って、Wechatアカウントの検挙システムのバッグを利用して、Wechatシステムに大量の偽報告を送って、その客のアカウントを封鎖させる。 陳向東自身も、彼は沢山のアカウントを持っていることを認めた。 今まで、陳向東は色んな詐欺手段を使って、買春客たちと売春婦たちから、沢山の金を取った。 しかも、強盗犯たちと結託して、売春婦たちが稼いた金を暴力で奪った。 売春斡旋と強盗行為、どちらも重犯罪である。 2021年2月から、陳向東は在日中国人の不法売春婦、「狼友」の元人気No.1嬢、張燕と結託して、一緒に売春斡旋や金融詐欺など、色んな犯罪活動をやっていた。ネットで本店のモザイク店を作って、幾つの違う名義を使って違う女に偽装して、より多いお客さんを引き寄せるという詐欺手段も、陳向東が張燕に教えたものです。 2021年4月4日、張燕は孫佳森の家の前で、孫佳森の元弟分である青年と和解したいだがその青年はそれを拒否。そして張燕は孫佳森の家の玄関前で大暴れしたがその青年と孫佳森はそれを押止。そして、張燕は陳向東を誘って、当日の22時半くらいで、池袋北口の近くで、GPS技術を使ってその青年を追跡して、そしてその青年を追いついた後、「張燕が孫佳森の家の前でその青年と喧嘩した時に携帯を落としたからもしかしてその青年の鞄に落ちたかもしれない」など巧妙な言い訳を使ってその青年を騙して、その青年の鞄を不法捜査した。奴らはその探したい何かを見付からないから、その青年を置いて一緒にどこかへ行った。その後、その青年は奴らの言葉に可怪しいなところがあることに気付いて、走って奴らを追いついて、陳向東の前に立ちはだかって彼を問い詰めたが、彼はまた巧妙な言い訳を使って言い逃れた。そして彼は早く張燕を連れてどこかへ消えた。 2021年4月5日から、陳向東は頻繁に非通知番号や可怪しいな海外の電話番号などを使って、孫佳森の元弟分であるその青年に嫌がらせ電話をし始めた。 大体2023年年末の頃、警察の調査を逃すために、陳向東は中国での戸籍上の名前を「牟宇」(もう　う)に変えた。でも、身分証番号110102196705162335は変わってないです。これは中国の戸籍制度と身分証制度で、誰も生まれた時から持つ身分証番号は生涯一つだけで、変更できない(日本のマイナンバーに該当する)。 現在、陳向東は相変わらず、WechatやLINE、「逍遥日本網」、「東京夜遊網」、「東京千尋網」、「無料案内所」など不法風俗店を紹介するネットサイトを通して、色んな偽アカウントを使って、主に在日中国人に向けて売春斡旋をやっている。 皆さん、一緒に警察署に通報して、この陳向東という売春斡旋と詐欺と強盗行為に加担する犯罪者を監獄に送りましょう！ 池袋警察署 生活安全課電話：03-3986-0110

So the guy looks at me, he goes, listen, the gas station is just a block away. And he goes, I'll push it if you will. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, why not? And so I took my jacket off. I'm still in my suit. Got the, you know, the best on. It's a good bonding moment there. Pushed it down the street. People are honking, laughing at me. A guy on purpose would curve a little, so it splashed me. Handling Leadership Challenges During COVID Yes, of course, Laura. It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.

So the guy looks at me, he goes, listen, the gas station is just a block away. And he goes, I'll push it if you will. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, why not? And so I took my jacket off. I'm still in my suit. Got the, you know, the best on. It's a good bonding moment there. Pushed it down the street. People are honking, laughing at me. A guy on purpose would curve a little, so it splashed me. Handling Leadership Challenges During COVID Yes, of course, Laura. It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.

So the guy looks at me, he goes, listen, the gas station is just a block away. And he goes, I'll push it if you will. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, why not? And so I took my jacket off. I'm still in my suit. Got the, you know, the best on. It's a good bonding moment there. Pushed it down the street. People are honking, laughing at me. A guy on purpose would curve a little, so it splashed me. Handling Leadership Challenges During COVID Yes, of course, Laura. It was during COVID when all of a sudden the government said, you got to send everybody home. And so what do you do? IT needed to prepare the lifeboats. The agents mentally needed to prepare for the isolation. And my supervisors and I needed to create certain mediums to keep that communication going and that lifeline going. And so I saw some people run for the hills. I saw freshmen step up to the plate. The Gary Technique: Trust and Perseverance Tell me about a time when you went to bat for someone else. Who did you speak to on their behalf? Why and how? I totally remember this story when we spoke about it, Laura. I had an agent called Gary and we called the Gary technique. This guy was usually the ramper upper where I'd put him on a brand new campaign to lead the charge, show some metrics and things will look good. Once again, the lone voice with the client convincing them that this is the guy. So after a certain day or two, when the client was losing its patience or Gary wasn't, you know, hitting the home runs yet, he said, Hey, I want you to remove him and try somebody else. And I said, you haven't really given him enough time. He goes, no, I just don't have a good vibe. I go, okay. Let's give it until the end of the day. And then I'll put him on another campaign. Next thing you know, Gary ripped three appointments. And so the client calls about it goes, why? I didn't know that. Let's keep, I go, well, listen, Billy, I did speak to the other client. He's being moved, but I just got to let you know in the future, have faith in me, trust my opinion. This is my wheelhouse. I know what I'm doing. And you know, just once the people get loosey goosey and they feel comfy on the phone, then you start hitting them. And so, um, I've fallen on swords for people because I've known what they've done. And I've also made mistakes as well. Sometimes Gary was not the good fit on a certain campaign and it just wasn't the right guy. Guy can't bat a thousand. Sure. Sure. And so I'm willing to take that hit too. But the beauty of it is at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, the fact that you might have faith in somebody else besides yourself.
