On January 3, 1987, the weather was sunny, southeast winds of 5 to 6, and the temperature was minus 3 degrees to minus 4 degrees. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Location, Tokyo, Japan.

At this time, it is still the time of the New Year, although it is completely different from the Chinese New Year, but the Japanese New Year's Day does not end until the 15th, and this entire month of January is collectively called the first month by the Yamato people.

The 1st to 3rd of the first month is called the Three Gregates. On the first day, juniors must first go to their parents' to greet their parents, and then go to the homes of relatives and friends. Many company buildings and streets and alleys have set up novel and unique archways with pine, bamboo and plum trees to celebrate. It wasn't until the 5th that the shops opened, the stock market opened, the wholesale market was crowded, the new year was new, and everyone was thinking about last year.

But Son has no intention of celebrating the New Year at all, and he is now sitting in a black Mercedes Benz heading towards his target hotel.

On his way to his destination, he was flipping through a mystery novel that hit the market last December.

It's called "After School".

As a Japanese-Korean, Son is of course also interested in mystery novels, whether it is traditional ontological reasoning, or a declension school that focuses on describing perverted psychology, or other categories, are all within his scope. As a winner of last year's Edogawa Ranpo Prize, the author's idea of the plot was unexpected by everyone, and the author's name was naturally deeply imprinted in his mind.

It's just that Sun Zhengyi couldn't have imagined that he could rely on him to climb his feelings today.

Shortly after, the car stopped in front of the target hotel, a top-notch luxury hotel in Ginza surrounded by some of Japan's most exclusive and bustling shopping malls. After getting out of the car, Sun Zhengyi carefully sorted out his clothes, and then came to the front desk very steadily.

"Hello, my name is Masayoshi Son, and I have an appointment with Miss Alice-Wang. ”

Just as she was waiting for the front desk lady to check the person's name, the girl nodded directly and said, "Hello Mr. Sun, Miss Wang has already instructed, please go directly to the business conference floor on the third floor of the hotel, and meet in the Hina Sakura Pavilion." ”

"Oh, that's a real drain for you. ”

Son did not hesitate immediately, and immediately took the elevator to the third floor, and after asking the waiter about the location of the relevant conference room, he soon came to the closed door.

Then, instead of rushing in, he first used the mirror in the corridor to carefully arrange his newly purchased suit and meticulously groomed short hair.

Then he knocked politely at the door, and when there was a call to enter, he finally entered the house.

The size of the reception room is okay, the table can do about 12 people, the wallpaper pattern matches the name of its "Hinazakura Pavilion" very well, and it matches the overall surrounding environment very harmoniously.

Then, there was the young girl who was standing up.

Completely different from the Japanese girls I see every day, first of all, she is tall, although she should only be fifteen years old, but she is obviously half a head taller than most Japanese adult women. She was wearing a set of Chanel's beige trench coat, her delicate curves were even tougher, her slender hair hung down behind her, and she wore a three-and-seven-point hair ornament on her forehead, and her slightly mixed-race face was bright.

"Hello, Miss Wang, contemptible Sun Zhengyi, first time meeting, please advise. ”

"This is the place, please advise. ”

Bending down slightly, or nodding thirty degrees is more appropriate, speaking skillful Japanese, Alice smiled: "Just call me Alice, you are twice my age, Sun San." ”

Son Masayoshi immediately stopped being polite, after all, the other party was an American, and after sitting down, he took the initiative to provoke the topic: "I really can't imagine that Alice Sang actually has plans to cooperate with me, and she is so proficient in Japanese." You're supposed to be in high school now, don't you know ......?"

"It's winter vacation,"

Alice smiled lightly: "Then I happened to have some spare money, so I wanted to take advantage of this investment boom to visit Japan." It's Sun Sang, are you holding on to this leather bag a little too tightly?"

Son paused for a moment before he realized what posture he was in now.

Because he was too nervous, even if he sat down, the briefcase was not put on the table, not even on the sofa, but still held tightly in his hand.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Alice-Sand. ”

Son opened the bag non-stop and took out the library-sized copy of "After School": "Alice Sand, I bought this book on its release day, and I've read it three times." I really didn't expect that just when I finished reading this book for the second time, the author himself actually came to the door in person, this is really, this is really ......"

"Oh, this one can have it. ”

Alice was not surprised, and as she poured a cup of tea for Son, she said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, because Kodansha used my popularity in the United States to promote it, the book sold more than 10,000 in the first week of its release." Well, even though it's a new market, it's much better than many ordinary new writers. ”

Why did they take out this book, is the reason why both of them know it, anyway, now that there is enough time, Alice is happy to let Son Masayoshi praise this debut novel belonging to Keigo Higashino. However, small talk always ends, and after Alice glanced at her watch seemingly casually, Son changed the subject with interest.

"Actually, I've always wondered, Alice-Sand, why did you choose me as the initiator of your business in Japan?"

Cautiously and slightly excitedly, he asked, "There are countless investment companies in Japan that are larger than me, and my software banking company is still in a debt crisis, and you know that. ”

"For the potential, of course, Sun Sang. ”

Alice smiled softly, "If the material I got is correct, you should have come to the University of California, Berkeley at the age of sixteen." ”

Son said modestly: "Yes, skipping the exam, I majored in economics. ”

"Well, then I interviewed your mentors back then, and it seems...... In your third year of school, at the age of eighteen, you made a million dollars by importing a video game from Japan, right?"

"Everywhere, it's far worse than Alice Sand. I was eighteen years old and I was a million, and now you're only fifteen and you're already a billionaire. ”

In this sentence, Son Masayoshi really said it sincerely and excitedly. Although he is now a thirty-year-old man, he is already the owner of a large investment company, and as Alice says, he easily made a million dollars as early as the age of eighteen. However, compared to the achievements of the girl in front of him, he can't catch up.

"Well, I'm an exception. ”

Alice chuckled and waved her hand: "From a macro point of view, successful people like you are very rare. It just so happens that you are also in the venture capital industry, and venture capital, isn't it potential? Although you are now in debt, I am still very optimistic about you. ”

As she spoke, she took a sip of tea and said, "When I came to Japan this time, my main investment area was real estate, but I was also very interested in other fields. So in this way, the amount of principal is the key, and I need some investors to lend me money. It just so happens that you are also in a debt crisis right now, if you invest with me, at least it is much better than you make a decision alone, right?"

After listening to Alice's words, Son finally put down his snacks.

As early as when he learned that the founder of Cisco, a shareholder of Microsoft, was going to invest in Japan and find himself as an investment consultant, Son was constantly beating the drum in his heart.

He knows something about Alice Wang. The founder of Cisco, a shareholder of Microsoft, even poked out the IBM matter at a press conference in person, and is also a best-selling author and film director, which is really an all-rounder.

But according to the information available to the mainstream media, this girl is nothing more than a technical nerd with a literary and artistic nature. Of course, writing a novel, making a movie, and programming are very incompatible, but at least they can be classified as creative work, and they are not without commonality.

But when it comes to investing...... But that's a real problem.

Although the current economic situation in Japan is very good, it is not something that can be made by investing casually. Although Son has been a venture capital broker for several years, he has only been in contact with entrepreneurs. Providing investment advice to a high school girl, although he can do it, but the other party is a girl after all, what if you insist on going your own way and blame yourself after losing money?

But since it's real estate, it seems that you can rest assured.

"Oh, Alice-Sand, you didn't say it earlier, real estate is a big hit, and I have a lot of information about the national housing price market in my office......"

"This is not in a hurry, this is not in a hurry. ”

Alice waved her hand and said, "There are still a lot of things to do, step by step." When I buy a house, I don't just want to make a difference by selling the house, so Sun San, you first find a piece of land with the lowest price for me in Ginza......"

"There is no space in Ginza, Elle ......"

"The cheapest!"

Interrupted, Alice glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and Son quickly shut up: "Find the cheapest house and land, and buy it if the area is not enough, and make up a whole piece for me...... Ten hectares of land to come. ”

Son Masayoshi couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Ten hectares!?Alice San, are you sure it's such a large area!?"

"Well, 100,000 square meters, I know what you mean, the price of Ginza is really expensive, and the unit size of houses in Japan has always been small, 100,000 square meters...... It seems that the side of the square in front of the Emperor's Palace is only four or five hundred meters long, right......?

"No, no, no, it's okay to say that the area is okay, if you want to build a square, this area is understandable. But Alice Sand, this is Ginza, and the Champs-Elysées in France, Manhattan's Fifth Avenue is a shopping paradise! Buy a whole 100,000 square meters here, do you want to build the world's most expensive leisure plaza!?"

Seeing that Son Zhengyi's neck was red with excitement, Alice snorted and looked at him with a smile.

"Well~ Sun Sang's words are not wrong, I am going to build a square. ”

"Well, the commercial plaza. (To be continued.) )
