It was Jiang Chen's first time in Nippon.
When he got off the private plane, he could clearly see the depression of Yoto from the airport.
It was hard to imagine that there were only a few people at the huge international airport. A fleet of cars was waiting at the airport gate. Future Group's branch in Nippon and officials from the Ministry of Economy and Industry were there to pick them up … It seemed to be ambiguous to abbreviate the name of this department, so it was better to mention its full name – the Ministry of Economy and Industry. Its role was probably similar to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Economic and Trade in Hua.
"Welcome, Mr. Jiang Chen. I'm Takagi Yosuke." Once served as the Hua Ambassador, Takagi's Han was very fluent and his attitude toward Jiang Chen was also very respectful.
However, Nippon people treated everyone like this, and Jiang Chen couldn't tell if he was sincere or had ulterior motives.
"Hello, Mr. Takagi." Jiang Chen shook his hand politely.
After some small talk, Jiang Chen learned his identity.
This guy's background was not small. He was actually the deputy minister of the Ministry of Economy and Industry.
Sitting in the car sent by the branch, Yosuke Takagi also followed. He chatted with Jiang Chen in the car while inquiring about Jiang Chen's intentions.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, with all due respect, the situation in Yoto is very chaotic. It's not a good time to travel."
"Haha, Mr. Takagi is joking." Jiang Chen didn't respond to Takagi's probing. Instead, he smiled and changed the topic. "Which place in your country is more fun?"
Takagi paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and smiled.
"If you plan to go sightseeing, I recommend Mount Fuji."
…
Of course, Jiang Chen was not here for sightseeing. As Takagi said, there was no scenery to see in Nippon at this time.
There were very few vehicles on the street. Except for traffic lights, Jiang Chen's car never stopped. There were also very few pedestrians on both sides of the street. There were almost no people shopping. Even if someone passed by, they were in a hurry.
Although the T virus leak only occurred in the Shinagawa district of Yoto, it paralyzed the order of the entire Yoto. Thousands of companies filed for bankruptcy protection overnight, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. The Prime Minister of Nippon announced last night that the country was in a state of emergency. Citizens who lacked food and daily necessities needed to go to designated places to receive rations …
All the Ri Nation people were surprised to find that their "high-spirited" Prime Minister on the international stage seemed to have gray hair on his temples overnight.
The citizens of Tokyo were not the only ones in dire straits. The quality of life of people in other parts of Nippon had also declined significantly.
Tourism, real estate, and retail were the first to bear the brunt. While they suffered a devastating blow, the economic crisis spread to other fields. However, the biggest loss was not these, but the Japanese yen itself.
Some time ago, the quantitative easing policy introduced by the gay prime minister during the implementation of Abenomics had caused the exchange rate of the Yen against the US dollar to fall as high as 134: 1. Although it had improved in 2017, it had never returned to the level of 14.
Before the outbreak of the virus, the international exchange rate of 1 US dollar was about 106 yen. After the outbreak of the T virus, the exchange rate directly became 1: 532.
Feeling the difference of five times, he felt it.
Tanaka's T-virus turned the bourgeoisie of Ri Nation into the middle class overnight, the middle class became the proletariat, and the proletariat became refugees begging on the streets.
Just yesterday, Future Group injected 5.2 billion US Dollar into the subsidiary account in Yoto to prepare to acquire small and medium-sized enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as depreciated land, real estate, and skyscrapers …
For Jiang Chen's arrival, the politicians and entrepreneurs of Nippon were both happy and worried. They were happy that with the collapse of the domestic monetary and financial system, Nippon really needed foreign investors to enter the market and inject vitality into the crumbling economy. However, they were afraid that Jiang Chen was not here to save their economy, but to cut their flesh.
After getting off the car, Jiang Chen said goodbye to Takagi and walked into the company building under the guidance of CEO Ren Pengfei.
The building of Future Group's Nippon branch was located in the Shibuya district of Yoto. Because a large number of high-tech companies gathered here, Shibuya was also known as the "Silicon Valley of Nippon." Although it was close to the quarantined Shinagawa district, Future Group's business was not greatly impacted.
However, it could be expected that for a long period of time in the future, Future Group's business in Nippon would experience negative growth.
Except for the vaccine of Future Biology.
"Mr. Chairman, I have booked a room for you at the Hilton Hotel. Do you need me to take you to the hotel where you are staying? "Ren Pengfei asked respectfully.
"No, I don't plan to stay in a hotel." Jiang Chen shook his head.
Ren Pengfei was taken aback.
Don't stay in a hotel? If he didn't stay in a hotel, would he sleep in the company? But there were no beds in the company.
"Contact the most famous real estate developer in Yoto for me."
"Yamato Real Estate, Mitsui Real Estate, these two real estate companies are basically the largest real estate developers in Yoto."
"Which one has the most extensive business in Yoto?"
"It should be Yamato Real Estate," Ren Pengfei replied after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Chen nodded.
"That's it. Contact Yamato Real Estate for me. I'm going to buy a few units."
Ren Pengfei was immediately shocked by the boss's extravagance. However, when he thought of Wall Street's valuation of Jiang Chen's assets, he didn't feel anything and nodded.
"Yes!"
After Ren Pengfei went out, Jiang Chen sat directly in his office chair and examined the layout of the office.
The birch decoration was not particularly eye-catching, but it looked very comfortable. The floor-to-ceiling window behind directly overlooked the most prosperous street view of Shibuya, and the lighting was also very good. Jiang Chen originally planned to buy a better skyscraper for Future Group's subsidiary, but from the looks of it, it didn't seem necessary.
Not long after, Ren Pengfei came in with a short but shrewd-looking middle-aged man.
Without waiting for Jiang Chen to speak, the Nippon man bowed and introduced himself with a smile.
"I'm Yamato Real Estate's General Manager, Koizumi. I didn't expect to see Jiang Chen here. It's my honor …"
"No need for pleasantries. I'm Jiang Chen, and I plan to purchase a few properties in Yoto. Does your company have any good recommendations?" Jiang Chen went straight to the point.
Koizumi didn't feel dissatisfied with Jiang Chen interrupting him. When he heard Jiang Chen's words, his small eyes almost glowed.
"Of course! Yamato Real Estate has the most abundant housing in all of Yoto! Not only that, if Mr. Jiang Chen wants a house that we don't have, we can also act as an intermediary. Whether it's luxury, location, or price, we guarantee your satisfaction. If Mr. Jiang is willing to pay in US dollars, we can also give you a discount! "
