Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1199 Night Tour of Customs Street

Before coming to Japan this time, Li Jiankun had anticipated that there would be people who would be unhappy with him. In fact, public opinion in Japan had long been directed at him. Affected by this, Midsuko, Dai Rui, Tsuruta Nakamura and others had all encountered some troubles to varying degrees, and Li Jiankun also equipped them with stronger security forces.

Although clearing the inventory is important, remote command is also possible. Li Jiankun's decision to come to Nihon Benzene in person to deal with this potential crisis is also a factor.

You know, suicides by jumping off buildings are common in Japan. For those who don't want to live, what can't they do?

It has been several years since the plane crash, but Li Jiankun still can't let it go. He can't let go of the fact that the culprit didn't get the retribution he deserved. People followed him, worked for him, and made money for him. Did they really have to give their lives to him?
No, he can't take it even if you give it to him.

As a boss, he has the responsibility to protect his subordinates.

Even if his life was not in danger, who would be in a good mood if he was scolded every day? A bad mood would inevitably affect his life and work. His business operations in Nihon Benz would also be affected.

So it is reasonable and logical that this trouble must be resolved.

Li Jiankun originally planned to deal with this matter after quietly handling the liquidation matters. Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, he is no longer low-key. He has successively accepted interviews from many media outlets. He has been at full speed and has been speaking crazily to reporters who have sharp topics and guests invited by the media to criticize him.

Extremely high-profile.

This became the biggest news in Japan recently, and the news quickly spread back to China.

This is because the Chinese people are paying close attention to Li Jiankun's every move, and the media naturally know how to cater to his interests. Domestic media have reprinted news from Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

Xi'an.

Several ancient streets with a trace of history near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were temporarily rented out and became one of the filming locations for "A Chinese Odyssey" in order to recreate the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty.

The crew invested a huge amount of money to renovate these old buildings, and the local government and the people were naturally happy to see it. Because a lot of extras were needed, many people were concerned about it, and came to visit the set every day and volunteered. Some people even got so much that they didn't need to be paid. The most important thing was to participate, and they could brag to others later that they were people who had acted in movies.

Therefore, the ancient street, which has not yet officially started filming, is already bustling with activity.

A large house with three entrances. It is rumored that it was the residence of some nobleman in the temple in ancient times. Now it is the accommodation for the main actors of the crew. Li Yunmeng lives here. Not to mention that she is the heroine, even if she is an insignificant minor role, the best room in the house still belongs to her.

Putting everything aside, his brother invested 300 million yuan and is the only financial sponsor.

Li Xiaomei is a very easy-going person. She is carefree and heroic. In ancient times, she would have been a female knight dressed in fine clothes, riding a horse, with a wine pot hanging from her waist, and wielding a sword in the world. In fact, she has never been raised in wealth. When she was in high school, she only had one dollar of pocket money a week. She liked jeans and secretly asked older brothers and sisters for money. If she bought a few extra pairs, she would be scolded by her family. She does not have the slightest bit of the arrogance of a rich little princess.

The crew recruited a group of young actors from the capital who were willing to join the crew. Many of them were recent graduates from art colleges. When they saw wealthy and noble Hong Kong actors like Zhou Xingchi, they felt somewhat ashamed and dared not come to the house unless necessary. Li Xiaomei often invited them over for dinner and drinks, so that the big names from Hong Kong would not be able to put on airs in front of these young mainland actors.

The sun was high in the sky. Li Yunmeng, holding a script in her hand, paced leisurely in the quiet courtyard. From time to time, she stopped to pose like the fairy Zixia, trying to get in the mood and be extremely devoted.

She has to live up to her second brother's feelings and her own dreams.

"Xiao Meng! Xiao Meng!"

"Where is Miss Li?"

"Good fellow, you're acting again. How can others live like this?"

She has a strong background, a wealthy family, and is extremely beautiful, but let’s not talk about all that. The problem is that she is also extremely hardworking... and it’s deadly.

A group of mainland young actors of similar age rushed to the courtyard, led by a girl who raised her hand with a newspaper in her hand.

Li Xiaomei closed her eyes for a few seconds before she changed from Fairy Zixia to Li Yunmeng. She turned her head and asked with her mouth raised, "What are you doing? Don't you need to rehearse?"

"Big news, your second brother has become popular again in Japan!"

"He is truly a role model for our generation. He made the devils so confused by his scolding!"

"I only realized now that you don't have to use a gun to take revenge. The newspapers say how much the Japanese hate your second brother, which shows how badly your second brother has harmed them."

"Xiaojun, be careful with your words. Our second brother has already said that the Japanese have brought this upon themselves. The economic crisis has already happened, and all that huge sum of money is going to go down the drain. He just made a little extra money."

"Hey, you've become our second brother now. If you like Xiao Meng, just tell me directly, Xiao Chen."

...

Li Yunmeng ignored their teasing, but was more concerned about what big thing his second brother had done. He took the newspaper from the girl with a high ponytail, and after reading the news on the front page, he felt excited and proud, and felt that he had made a great achievement.

The girl curled her lips and said, "I, Erguo, am a hero."

In the future, even if the man she loves is not as good as her second brother, he must at least be half as good as him.

With a brother like this, it is difficult for her to be attracted by ordinary men.

In her heart, her second brother is a peerless hero, standing on colorful clouds, wearing golden armor, and the most romantic man in the world.

"That is!"

This statement was unanimously echoed by the friends, who all gave him a thumbs up.

"Xiao Meng, what did your second brother do? How much money did he make from the Japanese to cause such a big fuss?"

"You know what's the most amazing thing? I make money from the Japanese, but I still have to criticize them. It feels so good!"

"I just like to see the Japanese getting so angry that they can't stop me."

Another "Second Brother".

But then again, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Which guy wouldn't be interested in a girl like Li?

Japanese benzene here.

No matter how unhappy the Japanese were, no matter whether they were sharp-tongued reporters, hosts, or expert guests invited to various programs, no one could last three rounds with Li Jiankun and they were all left speechless by him.

Of course, the most important reason lies in the word "reasonable".

Li Jiankun analyzed the inflated economy before the outbreak of the Japanese financial crisis from a macro perspective and concluded that the huge bubble would burst anyway, it was only a matter of time.

Because it is something that has already happened, when we look back and sort it out now, we have evidence to support our claims and they are very convincing.

Therefore, the economic crisis that broke out in Japan this time has nothing to do with him. It is the problem of Japan's economy going astray and causing abnormal growth.

The one who burst the bubble was the newly appointed Prince of the Bank of Japan, Yasushi Mieno. Prior to this, he accepted two interviews with the Asahi Shimbun, clearly pointing out that there was a huge bubble in the Japanese economy and it could burst at any time. Was this a warning to Japan? Those who are now losing everything obviously did not listen to his advice at the beginning. How can they have the nerve to ask him for punishment now?
Once an economic crisis breaks out, the market value of Japanese stocks is bound to evaporate. This evaporation is in quotation marks. Money will not disappear for no reason, but will be redistributed and consumed in various ways.

In other words, after deducting the transaction fees and other expenses, the rest of the money flows elsewhere, such as the bond market, the gold market, and some people's pockets. So why can't part of it flow into his pocket? He is making legal and compliant investments in accordance with international financial rules and Japanese laws. He earned the money by his own ability. Who has the right to comment?
After several programs that were euphemistically called TV interviews but were actually debates, those who criticized Li Jiankun gradually fell silent. It was simply impossible to win the argument. Most Japanese people actually agreed with what Li Jiankun said. Of course, there are still some people who don't like him. That is typical populism and hatred of the rich.

For Li Jiankun, his goal of changing the views of most Japanese people has been achieved.

It is impossible for anything to be recognized by everyone and it cannot be forced.

After the Japanese people's views were reversed, their attitudes became drastically different. Suddenly, many media outlets came to him, wanting to invite Li Jiankun for another interview, hoping that he could talk about the future direction of this round of economic crisis and when the Japanese economy would be likely to recover.

Compared with the disasters that have already happened, the more Japanese people who are powerless to reverse the situation and are not so destitute that they cannot survive, are actually more concerned about the future.

Before the outbreak of this economic crisis, only two people in the world had publicly warned or had insight into the outbreak of the crisis, one was Rogers and the other was Jack Lee, which shows their sharp eyes and keen sense of smell. The former was a carefree playboy who had been traveling around the world and his whereabouts were unknown. Now only Jack Lee can be found.

The Japanese people who are distraught, exhausted, under great pressure and confused need a reliable person, rather than a so-called expert who earns publicity fees, to help them solve their doubts.

Li Jiankun rejected all of them.

First of all, even a clay man has some temper. He just scolded me and now wants to ask me to do something for him. Am I so easy to talk to?

Secondly, domestic public opinion has already reached his ears, and he has to take into account the feelings of his fellow countrymen.

It is said that someone gave him a title, called "National Capital Hero". After it was published in the newspaper, it was recognized by all parties. In later generations, this would become a hot search term, which means people who use capital means to defend national interests and punish enemies.

He locked himself in the headquarters of the trust bank and refused to see any visitors. After spending several more days, he finally completed the settlement of all investments in Nippon Benzene.

As for how much money I made, it’s not easy to tell others.

After all, Mr. Dong is an old hand with a keen eye, and what he said to Mr. Dong was right.

There are no more than a handful of people in the world who are richer than Li Jiankun, and no more than three families have more abundant cash flow than him. Why do we talk about families?

Because no one could come up with as much cash as he did.

Song Hongbing said in "Currency Wars" that the Rothschild family had a wealth of 50 trillion US dollars. The statistics were made in 2007, 17 years later. It is hard to say whether it is true or not because we have not reached that year yet. Now Li Jiankun can say that even the Rothschild family with the most abundant treasury cannot take out 1 trillion US dollars whenever they need it.

He can.

When he walked out of the bank's securities department, it was already dark outside the window. Having made a lot of money, Li Jiankun was naturally in a good mood. He planned to go out for a walk, enjoy the night view of Tokyo, and find some delicious food to reward his stomach.

When he said walk, he really meant walking, which made Dai Rui, who was standing next to him with a look of awe, very nervous.

Li Jiankun looked at him and said, "I worked hard to accumulate my current wealth and fame, not because I am afraid to go out."

Dai Rui bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, I will arrange it right away."

So the following scene appeared on the streets of Tokyo: two tall young men wearing sunglasses to look cool at night, swaggering on the sidewalk, with at least ten people following them silently, and a Mercedes-Benz S600 and a black commercial vehicle modified like a tank following on the road behind them.

I have to admit that the night view of Tokyo is beautiful, with bright lights hanging high and neon signs flashing.

People have the habit of having nightlife, and there seem to be even more people on the streets at night, some are digesting their food, some are shopping, some are getting drunk, some are looking for fun, some are afraid to go home... there are all kinds of people.

Li Jiankun was not actually very familiar with Tokyo. He always came and went in a hurry. It seemed that this was his first time to wander the streets like this. Dai Rui was very familiar with the place. Since he was out like this, he didn't think about it. Seeing that the boss was in a good mood, he led him straight to the most lively place.

Found a restaurant that serves Sukiyaki.

Li Jiankun just treated it as hotpot. It must be said that the Wagyu beef was quite good. After finishing a few plates, he felt quite satisfied.

While digesting the food after the meal, Dai Rui came up with a bold idea, because he heard an idle uncle in the family talk about the truth of "Three Irons in Life". It is worth mentioning that this uncle never spends the family's money, has his own channels to make money, and has friends all over the world.

So he led Li Jiankun to a customs street.

Both sides of the street are lined with bars, nightclubs, and health clubs, some of which are quite high-end.

When men come here, they will generally be shocked, because there are so many beauties on this street, not to mention those who go in and out of nightclubs, the street can be described as lined up in two rows.

Dai Rui seemed to notice his gaze through his sunglasses, and said with a smile: "Actually, there are some good girls here. Most of them are in urgent need of money, but don't want to fall into depravity, so they want to make some money secretly. Now that Japan's economy is in recession, this place is becoming more and more prosperous."

Li Jiankun glanced at him and asked, "Do you have a serious girlfriend now?"

"Of course!"

"How long have you been talking for?"

"We just...were talking."

Li Jiankun kicked him on the buttocks. Some people in the crowd looked up to the sky. Mr. Dai was a very face-conscious person.

Dai Rui didn't dare to hide, leaving a shoe print on his butt, and swore solemnly: "I will talk it over this time!"

I hope so, Li Jiankun thought, since I'm here, I might as well go shopping. Experts say that looking at more beautiful women can help you live longer.

Dai Rui thought that he was really interested in her and was overjoyed. He actively served her and told her that any beautiful woman who tried to chat with him had to pass him first, and he would not be interested in her, so there was no need to disgust his boss.

Just like a pimp.

Li Jiankun was amazed. What Dai Rui said was true. Girls who were not pretty probably wouldn't dare to come to this street. Walking along the street, he saw girls of all shapes and sizes, each with their own merits. There was really no one who was ugly.

There are a few who, even if you look at them from Li Jiankun's perspective, can only sigh and say it's a pity. You say, with this figure and this face, you could be a model.

Of course, maybe they are already like that, and this is just extra income.

Because it was indeed very pleasing to the eye, Li Jiankun was busy admiring it and didn't bother to pay attention to Dai Rui chatting with different girls while walking.

"Boss! Boss!"

Dai Rui suddenly jumped over from the side and the gleam in his eyes seemed to shine through his sunglasses, "Excellent! She's still a novice, but she wants to earn a high price for the first time."

Li Jiankun looked in the direction of his finger and his eyes gradually widened.
