Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1200 Pattern
In the hazy night, a tall and graceful girl was hiding at the edge of a flower bed on the sidewalk. She was surrounded by the shadows of buildings and roadside facilities. If it weren't for the all-pervasive neon lights above her head, it would be difficult to notice that there was someone there.

This girl was obviously different from the other girls nearby, she was timid and cowardly.

She was wearing a slim-fit white sweater that looked a bit scheming, paired with tight jeans that should be washed blue. When the neon light flashed over her, it cast a charming S-shape on the ground. Japanese girls are generally not tall, and her height of nearly 1.7 meters was already outstanding among the crowd. Perhaps her position was not really suitable for attracting business, or perhaps for some other reasons, there was no other girl near her position on this street where girls were lined up.

Dai Rui was right, she was definitely a great beauty, even though she was wearing a mask.

Her hair is long like a waterfall, her eyebrows are as black as distant ink, her eyes are like autumn water, the tip of her nose is high behind the mask, and the exposed skin is as white as cream. Li Jiankun can even imagine how stunning she will be after the mask is removed. If even he uses such words to describe her, then some buddies on the Internet in the future may say that what you look like is no longer important.

She stood there motionless with a mask on, which was a very beautiful sight.

Seeing that the boss didn't blink, Dai Rui thought there was a chance, so he waved to the girl and said something in Japanese, which should be calling her over.

The girl came over tremblingly, her legs visibly shaking.

Dai Rui signaled her to take off her mask, and the girl did so.

as predicted.

The straight nose, cherry lips, and the facial features we saw before, combined into a pure and beautiful oval face. Her complexion was slightly pale, and her pearly teeth lightly bit her red lips.

Dai Rui looked at the boss again and saw that his eyes were still on the girl. He thought it was safe and told the girl to follow them.

The girl hesitated and said that the price had not been negotiated yet. Her voice was very pleasant, soft and gentle, just like the gurgling of a brook.

Dai Rui waved his hand and said, whatever.

Is this about money?

No matter how much money it costs, he hopes the big boss can give him a chance and he will pay for it.

The girl suddenly took a step back, and Dai Rui said angrily: "Can you be a little more considerate? Are we short of money? One hundred thousand, let's go!"

Even though the Japanese yen has fallen significantly compared to before, 100,000 yen is still not a small amount of money.

All the girls nearby who heard the sound turned their heads and looked over, their eyes full of envy.

Before the girl in white decided to take this step, she repeatedly told herself in her heart that it was only a chance and she must strive for a high price. She was even prepared to bargain with the seller, but one hundred thousand seemed unnecessary as it exceeded her expectations.

She finally thought about paying first. Yes, she had to pay first. When she was about to speak, the man in front of her who was obviously of higher status and had been silent, suddenly kicked the fierce man two steps away. The latter looked aggrieved.

Li Jiankun looked at the bookish girl and tried to ask in English: "Why don't you find a formal job?"

Although the current employment problem in Japan is severe, it is impossible for this girl to lack opportunities. No matter what era it is, appearance is what matters.

The girl didn't dare to look him in the eye. She drooped her head and replied softly in English: "I'm still in school."

Dai Rui thought, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll give you some more. He suddenly didn't understand what the boss was doing. If you didn't mean that, why were you staring at him?
Habit, if Li Jiankun knew what he was thinking, he would probably reply like this. The temptations in this world are generally proportional to the amount of wealth. In fact, he is also greedy. Fortunately, the two of them have accumulated a lot of concentration, so they have developed this habit of "looking but not eating" without knowing when.

Li Jiankun was not surprised, as he could tell that even if the girl had left the campus, it would not be long. When he was about to say something, something very embarrassing happened. He heard a cooing sound in his ear.

The girl blushed.

Li Jiankun asked: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

The girl didn't say anything. She hadn't had living expenses for a long time, and it was normal for her to have no food to eat.

"Let's go and eat."

Li Jiankun turned around and walked back. Seeing that the girl didn't move, he tilted his head and said, "I'll give you the money."

The girl followed silently. She told herself in her heart that by the time the job was done, her time had been bought out, so she naturally had to obey the buyer's wishes.

Dai Rui: “?”

done?

For Li Jiankun, it would be a pity if such a girl fell into prostitution. As the saying goes, in any era, appearance is everything. When a man sees such a girl, he will instinctively have some desires. In his case, it is the desire to protect her.

Returning to the street where they had eaten before, Li Jiankun asked the girl what she wanted to eat. The girl said anything was fine, so they walked into a nearby kaiseki restaurant and asked for a private room with tatami mats.

Li Jiankun asked the girl to order food, but she shook her head and threw the menu to Dai Rui, who ordered a whole table of dishes in one go. However, when the dishes came one after another, the girl realized that they had already eaten.

Li Jiankun signaled her to do as she pleased and ignore them.

The girl looked at the table full of high-end and exquisite dishes, gritted her teeth, picked up the cutlery, and started eating by herself, like a hamster chewing grains, crying silently as she ate.

Li Jiankun handed her the tissue box and said, "You are not prepared at all."

The girl shook her head hurriedly and said loudly, "I can do it."

Li Jiankun did not refute her, but asked her as if chatting, it would not be difficult for her to find a part-time job even if she wanted, so why did she do this.

The girl wanted to please him, fearing that the deal could not be concluded, so she answered every question he asked. Anyway, she had already seen that this man was a foreigner, or perhaps both of them were. There was never a shortage of foreign tourists on the street over there, so it was normal that no one would know each other after tonight.

She has a part-time job at a convenience store, but because it is graduation season, she only works two hours a day in the afternoon, which is barely enough to keep her from starving to death. She can't do anything else, and she is in urgent need of money.

She also has a younger brother who is now living with relatives, but her relatives are not willing to help pay for her brother's tuition. Her brother's tuition and miscellaneous fees are paid every six months and have been in arrears for a long time. Fortunately, the national university she is attending does not require tuition.

Li Jiankun asked: "Where are your parents?"

The girl lowered her head, her tears dripping into the bowl and dishes, which she ate along with the other dishes. She whispered that she didn't know and was hiding from her debts.

Her family was originally well-off. Her parents were good at managing money and were envied and respected by their neighbors.

Later, her parents simply quit their jobs and became full-time financial managers. Her father focused on the stock market, and her mother focused on the property market. Relatives, friends, and neighbors were all willing to give them money to manage. Her parents made some money from their own investments and then collected some commissions. They lived a prosperous life. A few years ago, when the family was doing best, her parents were planning to buy a house in the center of Tokyo. Later, because the investment returns were very high, the plan was temporarily shelved and all the funds were invested. Not only that, they also borrowed a lot from the bank. The same was true for relatives, friends, and neighbors. Unknowingly, the funds managed by her parents had become very large. If the market continues to be stable, as her father said proudly after drinking one time, "We can also become a wealthy family."

But the economic crisis that broke out a year ago turned all of this into nothing.

Not only did my parents lose all their own money, they also lost the investment money from friends, relatives and neighbors, and owed the bank a huge loan. For a while, my father had to borrow money at high interest rates and make ends meet, hoping that the stock market would recover and the stocks in his hands would become valuable again. However, things did not go as planned. The stock price never reached a minimum, but only got lower.

The real estate market situation on my mother's side is not much better.

Finally, at the end of last year, her parents, who could no longer support themselves, disappeared together, leaving only a letter for her and her younger brother, who had been sent to live with relatives in a small place. The general meaning of the letter was to let her stay in school, not to go home, and to support herself from then on.

Family?
Even if she wanted to go back, she couldn't, because all the family's property had been mortgaged.

Since then, there has been no news from my parents, and now I don’t know whether they are alive or dead.

Li Jiankun remained silent after listening to the story. In fact, it was not a very rare story. At least there were many similar incidents in Japan at present. But when he really heard the story from the people involved, he had a different feeling.

Li Jiankun suddenly had an idea and raised his hand to take off his sunglasses.

The girl looked at him subconsciously, was slightly startled, and exclaimed softly, as if she had seen him somewhere before. Soon her red eyes gradually widened, and she said in astonishment: "You are Jack Lee!"

After all, Li Jiankun's face is everywhere in Japanese media nowadays. Even though he said that to Dai Rui, if it were daytime, he would definitely not wander around the streets and cause trouble for himself.

Li Jiankun carefully observed her expression and asked, "Many Japanese people are scolding me, don't you hate me?"

The girl suddenly didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She shook her head subconsciously and stammered, "Although I studied art, I also know that investment has risks. Whether it is the stock market or the property market, it is impossible for it to rise forever. The main reason for my family's experience is that our parents didn't know when to quit... The news about your remarks has been everywhere recently. I have also seen them. I think there should be some truth in them."

The word "should" is very spiritual. Li Jiankun smiled and motioned her to continue eating.

However, the girl didn't dare to do that as her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even pick up the chopsticks.

Li Jiankun thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of art did you study?"

"painting."

Li Jiankun nodded and said, "Don't do this again. I'll give you a job. You can get your diploma later. It's not a big deal. As the company's major shareholder, I can advance you a salary of 100,000 yuan."

Li Jiankun said this and asked Dai Rui to find a pen and paper, and left Tsuruta Nakamura's phone number with the girl.

In fact, any company cannot do without an advertising department. There are positions that require drawing skills. The reorganized Arisui House Co., Ltd. is currently vigorously building an Internet real estate trading platform and has a greater demand for employees in this area.

Li Jiankun asked Dai Rui to give the girl 100,000 yuan in cash, then got up and left.

The girl stood up and held the money that Dai Rui stuffed into her hand. She didn't know what to say and bowed deeply to Li Jiankun.

When she stood up, the tall man had disappeared.

The girl burst into tears and shouted with courage: "Boss, my name is Rinone, Shimizu Rinone!"

But this time I cried tears of joy.

She thought, big boss, so handsome!
"Got it." To the girl's surprise, a response came from outside the box.

On the way back, Dai Rui scratched his head from time to time, looking speechless. Is that it?

Okay, if you're in a good mood and have to go out and have some fun, I'll take you along. You don't want a top-notch girl, but an employee?

are you crazy.

He had already realized that if the boss had just expressed his thoughts a little, no money would have to be spent.

What a waste! Shame!
Li Jiankun didn't know what Dai Rui was thinking, nor did he care. He was thinking about other things.

The next day, Li Jiankun was interviewed by a financial program of Tokyo TV.

The program will be broadcast live.

At nine o'clock in the evening, in a studio in the Tokyo TV building, under the spotlight, Li Jiankun and the female host sat next to each other.

In the dark corners of the audience, the director of the program was grinning from ear to ear, and the ratings set a record.

Female host: "Thank you for sharing your views just now, Mr. Li. Although I should smile politely, please forgive me for not being able to smile. If you make accurate predictions again, it will be bad news for all Japanese people. Then I would like to ask you a question: If the economy continues to be sluggish, will there be any opportunities for investment or business? I believe you must know that many Japanese people are now burdened with debts, so even in adversity, everyone must find ways to make money. Please give me some advice. Your vision and business talent are obvious to all."

Female host (expecting face).

Li Jiankun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's not like I can give you advice. In that case, let me share my views on ordinary people. In fact, no matter how depressed the economy is, as long as there is a supply and demand market, there will always be opportunities. The most obvious phenomenon in the Japanese benzene market is the downgrade of consumption. Therefore, if you are still committed to doing business and starting a business, you should use this as a breakthrough to cater to consumers and consumer habits. There are still some businesses to be done, such as selling products that are of good quality but not big brands..."

In its previous life, MUJI rose rapidly during this period.

During the one-hour interview, Li Jiankun talked about a lot, which benefited many people who were watching in front of the TV.

Many Japanese people treat their senses a little differently.

The next day, the morning papers were all filled with reports about the incident, and public opinion began to reverse.

The talk on the streets is all about Jack Lee's good points, his insights, and his down-to-earth suggestions. Many people have even started planning to open a business selling inexpensive and high-quality goods that do not care about brand names or appearance.

In the CEO's office at the headquarters of the Trust Bank, Dai Rui, who was watching the replay, came back to his senses from a trance and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he is the big boss, he is awesome, really fucking awesome, he uses carrots and sticks, nothing can stop him, I admire him, I bow down to him."

After the news spread back to China, Yangcheng Daily was the first to publish its own article and gave it a huge headline on the front page.

"pattern!".
