There is a 16-hour time difference between Tokyo and Los Angeles.

It should be almost bedtime, and the sun is still high in the sky.

Although he slept on the plane for several hours, the biological clock was reversed, which still made Han Xuan very uncomfortable.

Toyota cars drive along black asphalt roads, lined with dense factories that stretch for kilometers.

Japan has been affected by several economic crises in recent years, and a large number of factories have been abandoned, and the sign of "factory for sale" has been hung.

After more than 20 minutes, we came to the city of Tokyo.

Today, Tokyo is one of the four major international cities alongside London, Paris, and New York, and Han Xuan has been to these cities, and compared with them, Tokyo obviously lacks a bit of beauty.

Japanese women on the street are polarized, the ugly are exceptionally ugly, and the pretty are exceptionally beautiful.

The color of the clothes is monotonous, and the eyes are full of the most popular loose bell bottoms today, which is a bit funny in Han Xuan's opinion, and his aesthetics are too advanced.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, it was just time to go to work, and the residents of Tokyo looked tired.

Living in this city in the 90s was not an easy task, and the fear of losing your job, the fear of paying off the mortgage, and all kinds of pressures on your body caused this generation to be a little confused.

Han Xuan clearly found this from the books of writers such as Haruki Murakami and Junichi Watanabe, as well as TV dramas such as "Tokyo Love Story".

The train passing from the bridge was crowded with pedestrians, and they all turned their eyes to the convoy with no end in sight

Through the car window, you can see that on the other side of the moat, stands a Tokyo landmark, with heavy cornices and white walls and black tiles.

The intricate architecture, along with the rich Japanese national style, is half-hidden and half-reflected in the yellowing trees.

It's as if what little bit of cultural heritage in Tokyo is hidden in the trees on the other side.

Hearing Sakamoto and Hikoshi say that it was the residence of the Japanese royal family, Han Xuan looked at it in surprise.

Looking at the Imperial Theatre across the river from the Imperial Palace, and the rows of featureless but extraordinary high-rise buildings behind it, it is difficult to connect the two, as if they exist in two worlds.

This is probably the result of the pure pursuit of Western culture and the abandonment of the architectural characteristics of the nation.

If you think about it, Tokyo was bombed more than 100 times during World War II and almost fell into ruins, and this strange situation of ancient buildings and high-rise buildings coexisting must have begun to take shape after reconstruction.

Han Xuan didn't have the face to comment on anything, because Huaxia would also follow this old road, and when he made up his mind to go to Yanjing, he would buy more courtyard houses, and it would be difficult to find them again in a few years.

I looked down at my watch, it was still EST, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't help but doze off.

When the old man saw this scene, he also followed suit and said, "Stay up until night and then go to sleep."

Now I will have insomnia at night, and tomorrow it will be even more uncomfortable, just wait for the biological clock to adjust in two days. ”

"Well, I'll go to the city later. ”

In the passenger seat, Kazuhiko Sakamoto pointed to the signboard of the Hilton Hotel, which sounded particularly strange in Japanese English: "The hotel is there."

Han Xuan, let my driver take you wherever you want, I have known your grandfather for many years and are friends.

Just tell me anything, and treat this place as your home. ”

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sakamoto. ”

Han Xuan is not familiar with life here, and there is an old driver who leads the way, which can save a lot of trouble, and saves him the trouble of driving without a driver's license, so he turned his head and asked the old man: "What about you?"

Mr. Sakamoto knew the president of Japan's 7-Eleven Co., Ltd., and he was also interested in participating in this business. ”

Han Xuan sighed, and suddenly understood.

No wonder Sakamoto and Hikoshi were so enthusiastic, and they also found thirty cars to pick up people, it turned out that they wanted to start a convenience store business with their old man.

The SOS Group has no foundation in Japan, and having a local trading company to cooperate with can really solve a lot of trouble, and Marubeni Co., Ltd. has a logistics channel in the first place, so it is an ideal partner.

He took out the Leica camera from his bag and stuck out the window to take some street scenes, which Anya asked for and showed it to her when he returned to the United States.

I turned a corner at the intersection and drove a few minutes ahead to the entrance of the newly built Hilton Tokyo Bay.

There were more than a dozen people standing on the side of the road, arguing with each other, all dressed in professional suits and carrying a bag, not like tourists or hotel customers.

Tourists don't wear such formal clothes, and if they were customers, they wouldn't wear this cheap suit to a five-star hotel.

Hilton hotels are cheap in the United States, but prices abroad are not ordinarily high.

When Sakamoto and Hikoshi saw this scene, their tone was dissatisfied, and they asked the waiter who came to open the door, "What's going on over there?"

"Hello gentlemen, and welcome to the Hilton.

Hello, Han Xuan, those people are here to find you. ”

The waitress replied in a pure California accent that he was a white man.

"Looking for me?"

Han Xuan pushed open the door and got out of the car, looked at the words on the folder in their hands, and couldn't help but be surprised!

I can't see clearly, is it myopia?

Rubbing his eyes and taking two steps forward, those people also saw Han Xuan, trotted over and folded their legs and bent down to greet them, and then introduced themselves.

"Hello! Jun Takahashi of Dainichi Real Estate Agency!

"I'm Kogoro Shimizu of Nippon Cotton Agency! Do you want to buy a house in Tokyo? Where can I buy it?"

"I'm Sora Aoi of Sojitz Real Estate Agency, and we have the best house in Tokyo!"

“……”

Han Xuan's ears pricked up, and he clearly heard the name of the enlightenment teacher from the messy self-introduction.

Immediately turned his gaze to the woman of his age who spoke, quite beautiful, but not at all like, raised her hand and shouted in Japanese, "Quiet!

There are a lot of houses I want to buy, now go to Ginza!

Wait, I'll go back to my room and take a shower, sorry......"

Yes.

He's ready to buy a house in Ginza.

After more than 20 years of post-war development, Japan entered a period of ultra-high-speed economic development from the 70s.

A large number of private enterprises such as Sony, Panasonic, and Toyota have emerged, and they have begun to develop into export-oriented enterprises.

The development of Japan's home appliances, automobiles and other industries has led to the rise of the steel and machinery manufacturing industries, and exports have increased significantly.

The foreign exchange earned by companies continued to pour into the Bank of Japan, and the banks were dumbfounded by so much money and desperately lent abroad, which contributed to the occurrence of a real estate bubble.

At that time, some people joked to the president of Mitsubishi Estate, Japan's largest commercial real estate developer: "You are so rich, when will you buy the Rockefeller Building in New York, it is the most luxurious building in the United States!"

A year later, Mitsubishi Land bought the Rockefeller Building for $200 billion, and planted the Japanese flag at the top of the building.

In 1987, land prices in Ginza in Tokyo rose by 40%, and four years later, the Japanese real estate bubble burst!

The original 100 million yen house, 45 million yen remained, and the Mitsubishi Land of the Rockefeller Building was purchased, and 100 billion yen was lost for this!

Now is the time when land prices in Tokyo are at their lowest.

And Han Xuan used several companies as collateral this time to borrow a full $1 billion from Standard Chartered Bank, or about 132 billion yen (to be continued. )
