It had been a whole year since Jiang Chen last came to Yoto.
Today, on the streets of Yoto, there were no traces left by last year's disaster. The Shinagawa district, which was taken over by the UA military, was also lifted, and the shops on the streets and alleys were changed back to their new appearance and reopened for business.
Facts proved that Jiang Chen's judgment was correct.
The Kurofune scattered, the T virus disappeared, and the housing prices in Yoto returned to "normal" levels. Although it had not returned to the top ten in the world, it was not far off. And Yamato Housing Construction, which sold real estate in Yoto like it was a hot potato, completely fainted in the toilet.
No one thought that the crisis would end so quickly.
Jiang Chen bought the Shibuya 109 building with 60 million US Dollar. Under the management of the professional real estate manager he hired, it was now making money every day. The value of the entire Shinjuku commercial street had increased by more than ten times. Akihabara, which was bought on a whim, had now been transformed into a holographic and information-based street by Future Technology's products.
The Nippon government had mixed feelings about Future Group's transformation in their country. On the one hand, Future Group's industry almost robbed money from the hands of the Nippon people, but on the other hand, they did benefit from it.
Just like in the UA, without Future Group, 50% of the UA people would take to the streets to curse the federal government. The Nippon government was now facing the same problem. Although they wanted to learn from Future Group's technology and then kick it away, they couldn't do it at all.
However, the reaction of the Nippon people was very calm. Most of them didn't seem to care who transformed this land.
…
The mansion at the foot of Mount Fuji was once a golf course only open to the upper class. After Jiang Chen bought it, it was completely transformed into a private mansion. And the green lawn covering thousands of acres naturally became Jiang Chen's private garden.
In order not to waste, Jiang Chen also learned from the European nobles, hired a French gardener, and turned a piece of land in the backyard into a vineyard. Although the soil at the foot of Mount Fuji was high in sulfur and the grapes grown there were not sweet, he placed it there as a decoration.
Jiang Chen didn't expect to use the grapes here to make wine.
"Master, please have some tea."
"Mhmm, put it there."
"Okay."
Qian Xia, who was wearing a maid costume, bent down and gently placed the brewed black tea on the table. When she was leaving, she inadvertently made eye contact with the beauty sitting across from Jiang Chen. She immediately bowed in embarrassment and turned to run away.
"You really know how to enjoy yourself."
Liu Yao pouted as she said this. She picked up the teacup, brought it close to her lips, and took a sip. She immediately let out a surprised "Huh?"
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
It seemed that while he was away, Qian Xia did not neglect to keep in touch. Her tea making skills had improved a lot.
"Why aren't you talking? Don't you miss me?" Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, Liu Yao put down the teacup and said pitifully.
"Why wouldn't I? It's just that I've been too busy recently. " Jiang Chen laughed and changed the topic. "By the way, why did you suddenly come to Nippon?"
"I'm going to attend the premiere in Tokyo. I told you over the phone the day before yesterday."
Feeling that Jiang Chen wasn't paying enough attention to her, Liu Yao pouted even more. But Jiang Chen didn't dislike her feminine attitude.
"Premiere? Isn't 'Time Curtain' already released in Nouveau York? "Jiang Chen was surprised.
"It's not the same movie. I was just a cameo in the Time Curtain, okay? "Liu Yao stuck out her tongue and said," Before the Time Curtain, I took a role in a movie. Your Future Technology is the largest investor. Do you not care about your company's business? "
Jiang Chen thought about it. This was probably before Ning Huajian was promoted to the head office's CEO. Although Jiang Chen had never disclosed his relationship with Liu Yao, there had always been similar rumors on the Internet.
A domestic movie, the investment was at most two to three hundred million RMB. Compared to the profits of Future Group's business in Hua, it was only a drop in the bucket. As long as this kind of small investment was in line with the procedures, the people below naturally didn't need to report it to him.
In his impression, Liu Yao had talked to him about this before, but there were so many things that happened recently that he really couldn't remember.
Just as Jiang Chen awkwardly thought about how to search her name on Baidu while she wasn't paying attention to see which movie it was, Liu Yao saw through his embarrassment and said the name of the movie herself.
"It's Three Body, a domestic sci-fi blockbuster."
"Three Body?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and his expression was a little surprised. His first reaction wasn't to ask Liu Yao "which character are you playing?" but —
"Finally made it?"
Finally made it?
Speaking of the Three Body movie, it really made people sigh. From the initial massive publicity, to CEO Kong's ambition to make a sci-fi blockbuster of Hua, to the low-key announcement of Kong Ergou's resignation two months before the release, the special effects team and director were all removed. It cast a shadow over the seemingly bright future of Hua's sci-fi film.
Although Youzu Pictures never gave up the rights to adapt the Three Body movie, the budget burned in the early stage in exchange for an ending where all the materials were scrapped. The investors who were originally optimistic about the project all abandoned it. Even the parent company of Youzu Pictures had to maintain a cautious attitude towards them.
Emotions were not worth mentioning at all in the face of capital. A project full of risks, even if Zhang Yimou was the director, the investors would be cautious.
Because they couldn't find a suitable investor, the Hugo Award-winning masterpiece fell into the predicament of infinite hopelessness.
But fortunately, the new crew that took over the Three Body adaptation found Future Technology, or in other words, found the woman of a certain big shot.
Although many netizens were unhappy with the fact that the female lead was played by a big-breasted female star, thinking that it was disrespectful to the original work, the production crew, who were eager to find investors, could not care less. The adaptation rights had a time limit, and they could not wait forever. What's more, Liu Yao herself had a certain box office appeal. As for whether the female lead in the original work had big breasts or not, apart from the fans of the original work, who would care?
Besides, in this kind of sci-fi group work, was the image of the female lead really important?
Just like that, the domestic sci-fi blockbuster with a bumpy road was finally successfully released in early 2019.
And Future Technology, as the investor, also carried out soft placement of advertising in some scenes of the movie according to the contract. For example, the VR helmet that appeared in the movie directly used the Phantom helmet. Future Technology's logo was also printed on many high tech products.
In any case, after going through this bumpy road, the crew in charge of filming finally brought the movie to the big screen in 2019 and shattered the rumor that it would skip to 2020.
