Chapter 185: International Calls at Night (I)
If any industry wants to develop rapidly, it must meet the conditions of the right time, place and people, and this often happens when the local field is blank. Back then, Gates's Microsoft, Steve Jobs' Apple, Li Ka-shing's Plastic Flower, Wang Jianlin's Wanda Real Estate, and even Facebook and Twitter were born because of their pioneering status in the region, so they could develop so rapidly. However, if Mito wants the Miyamoto Foundation to get involved in the real estate industry, it will not be so simple.
"The more mature the market is, the scarcity of new areas, and the more transparent the profits, if you want to make more profits, you can only rely on high-cost continuous investment. If you just take it for granted and buy a piece of land, build a functional building at random, or buy a building and wait for the value to appreciate, the rate of return cannot be too low. ”
That night, the discussion with her uncle was over, but Midong had no intention of going to bed, and instead went back to the street.
It's not too late, it's time for the nightlife crowd to flock to the bars, and the neighborhood where the hotel is located certainly doesn't fall into that category, but there are plenty of high-rise buildings in the downtown area, and there's always a light that hasn't been extinguished. When she went downstairs, Mei Dong simply put on a pink woolen trench coat, combed a classic long straight bun, and carried a silver Prada handbag.
"Fortunately, there are very few tail maniacs in this country, and the coverage rate of the Skynet system is more advanced than any country in the world, not to mention the United States, even compared to Japan, if someone wants to commit a crime here, they really don't know how to write dead words."
The basic premise that Meidong has repeatedly emphasized is that Mei Dong observes all the details of the city all the time, grasping every minute of time, in order to get a glimpse of China's cityscape 20 years later. Although it was not a good time to do street interviews, just walking by was enough for her to see a lot of things.
On a street like the one she was walking on, the brick sidewalks were straight and neat, there were not even palm-sized broken bricks, and the roads and corners were clean, almost no worse than the cityscape of Japan. But looking at the cars parked on the side of the road, the total number is only twenty, and the whole seven are domestic Tesla's electric new energy, and the rest are relatively clean hybrids.
"And then there's the ubiquitous cameras, including those that manage speeding, and those that manage crime."
Only those who intend to break the law are accountable for the so-called privacy exposure, just as the staff in front of the surveillance screen no matter how boring they are, they will not have any interest in ordinary passers-by. Mei Dong walked slowly all the way, and in just a distance of 100 meters, there were at least four probes on both sides of the downtown street, which was not counting the ATM machine and the intersection ahead. Not to mention those relatively backward areas, whoever dares to commit a crime here is like sending himself to the guns of the police.
"If Japan had such a strong infrastructure, there would be no police. In a region as large as China, there are almost no unsolvable cases in the area where the Skynet system is installed. If you change to the petite Japanese society in the city, and then combine it with the capable criminal policemen who have been trained in reasoning, it is really Sherlock Holmes everywhere. So...... Is it any wonder? ”
When she was a commoner, Midong would only have some simple thoughts at most, but now that she is in a high position, she naturally thinks from the perspective of a chaebol leader. She knows now, no wonder even if Japan's GDP is as high as 7 trillion today, and the Skynet project has been introduced since five years ago, the development progress is really slow. In a capitalist system and a country where the plutocracy controls the lifeblood of the economy, who can allow such a sharp weapon to expose evil to the fullest?
"I wouldn't agree to that either...... Burst. ”
It just so happened that she was a little tired from walking, and she happened to pass by the outdoor area of the bar of another hotel, and Meidong walked through the small garden in front of the door and walked in with ease.
"Welcome."
The messenger came forward, amazed and curious, and sincerely felt rare for such a pink trench coat, looking so impure and beautiful, to be a guest at the bar.
"A glass of rum...... Forget it, Shirley, the second cup is absinthe with ice, let's prepare it in order. ”
Midong sleekly revealed the goods, and then found an inconspicuous place to sit, away from the bar, just two sofas and a round table. Leaning on the windows, you can clearly see the passers-by walking on the street, and the exterior wall of the high-rise building opposite is shining, which is a very good spot.
Then the next second, without warning, Midong's phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly took it out and took a look, it was actually a long-distance call from Hokkaido, and it was this time!
“…… What the hell. ”
After muttering this, Meidong answered the call and smiled playfully: "What's the matter, dear, miss me in the middle of the night?" ”
"Midong-san, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I have something here that I want to confirm with you."
Of course, it was Miyamoto Moko's voice, but it ignored Mito's teasing and looked like something was really wrong. Midong raised her eyebrows, and immediately put away her joke: "What's the matter?" ”
"Sister Shuangye of the clan where I am staying now, has a twin sister like us, you know?"
The news of Mozi's northward journey, and the fact that she spent the night to send her own friends, has long been no news, but this sudden incident is still quite nonsensical. Meidong frowned, quite suspicious and puzzled: "Of course I know this, but she only found out about it three years ago, and it took some trouble for the sisters to recognize each other." So, don't you still think that this matter has something to do with us, do you, do you want such a coincidence? ”
"Normally, it's like I'm thinking too much."
On the other side of the phone, Mozi's voice was indeed not worried, full of thoughts: "But the separated siblings meet again after many years, you should also know how likely this kind of thing is." You and I are from the same orphanage, so how likely can two quite similar examples be placed together? ”
This sentence sounded like a bland question, which really made Midong silent for a moment, so that the first glass of wine was served. On the other side of the phone, there was only the sound of Mozi's slow breathing, and Midong on the other end of the phone only slowly sipped the strengthening wine, and it was not until a minute later that the suddenly provoked call could continue.
"Futaba should be right next to you, call her over, I'm going to talk to her."
After saying this, Midong put down her phone and said aloud towards the bar: "Bartender, the next glass of absinthe, let's send it over!" ”
That's it, and she put the phone back in its place.
