That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 878: The Artist Started to Engage in Finance

Narita Airport is not far from Yokohama, and it only takes more than an hour to drive there.

But when they arrived at Hengbin, Li Ye saw that Junko was not driving to Hengbin Chinatown, so he asked Lao Song: "Why, you don't live in Chinatown anymore?"

"The champion has a good memory. I've been here for half a year and I'm still confused."

Mr. Song praised Li Ye for his good sense of direction, and then he explained with a smile: "Now that our business is big, people always come to Chinatown to look for me. I find it annoying, so I handed the storefront over to Junko to manage, and I hide away to have some free time."

"Oh, then I have to see what big business you are doing now, Old Song."

"Hehehehe, as long as the top scholar likes it, it's fine."

Lao Song’s new home is not the common single-family house in Japan, but the top floor of a super high-rise building.

This surprised Li Ye. In his impression, Lao Song was very careful in everything he did.
For a residence like this that doesn't even have a back door, although most people wouldn't jump over the wall to get in, once someone blocks the door, they won't be able to escape, so it's not a good choice.

After entering Lao Song's house, Junzi immediately bent down to help Li Ye change his shoes. Her soft waist and humble posture really gave people a sense of "dominance" that was very casual and unrestrained.

Li Ye shifted his gaze to the shoe rack and found two rows of women's shoes neatly arranged under Lao Song's shoes.

Although Li Ye knew that this Chunzi was not just Lao Song's "apprentice" when he came to Riben last time,
But at that time, Lao Song promised that he would not remarry and would not disgrace his ancestors, but now they were openly living together in the same room.
Only talking about love and not marriage? Isn't that an old rogue?

When Junzi went out to prepare tea, Li Ye could not help but ask Lao Song: "Old man, are you preparing for the old tree to sprout new buds and have a second spring? If you really like her, just marry her!

When you get married, remember to let me know and I’ll give you a big gift.”

Old Song quickly explained: "Zhuangyuanlang, you misunderstood. Junzi lives here just to make it easier for her to study with me and take care of me."

"is it?"

Li Ye smiled mischievously and whispered, "Why did you choose to live in such a high building? Is it because the view is good? Let me tell you, Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. If something happens, you won't be able to escape if you live in such a high building."

Li Ye thought he already knew why Lao Song chose to live in a high-rise building.

After all, this is someone else's territory. No matter how well Old Song does, there may be more ill will from the people around him.

Old Song is in his sixties and Junko is just over thirty, so the pressure she is under must be very great.

Think about those Japanese women who are willing to marry flower growers. Basically, they will be strongly opposed by their families. You will know how xenophobic and narcissistic this nation is.

But if we put it the other way around, and say that Old Song is a Japanese fool, then is the age difference of thirty or forty years still a problem?
Living in this kind of reinforced concrete fortress, no one knows each other. After living there for several years, you may not even know your upstairs and downstairs neighbors. This can avoid a lot of gossip compared to living in an ordinary single-family house in the countryside.

However, after Li Ye finished speaking, Old Song did not feel embarrassed, but slowly calmed down.

After a long time, he invited Li Ye to the terrace of the room, where there were several high-powered viewing telescopes with tripods.

Old Song pointed the camera at a blue building about 700 to 800 meters away and said in a hoarse voice, "Look over there, Mr. Zhuangyuan. The seventh floor of the blue building is the Yokobin Nakamura Corporation.
Every morning at seven o'clock, that man would appear in his office on time. He was a dozen years older than me and looked healthier than me, but every time I looked at him here, I would feel full of energy.

"."

Li Ye looked at the blue building, put his eyes to the telescope, and immediately saw a large and luxurious office.

There is an old man in the office. He is holding a golf club and practicing the golf swing movement. He looks to be in good health.

Li Ye asked calmly, "Is it the guy who plays golf?"

Old Song said in a deep voice: "Yes, he swings it 200 times every day. One night, I saw him hitting someone with the club."

The 30x telescope has excellent clarity, and Li Ye can clearly see the opponent's swing and the furnishings in the office.

The furnishings in Kenshou Nakamura's office are not complicated, but it has a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows. Not only can people outside see, but employees within his own company can also keep an eye on their president's every move at any time.

Li Ye put himself in the shoes of the people in the office and thought that if he were placed in such a "transparent" office environment, he would be very uncomfortable.

So he said to Lao Song: "I think his health may not be that good, he just wants to give people the illusion that he is in very good health."

Old Song smiled slightly and said, "I have guessed so too. Two years ago, I heard that the eldest son of old man Nakamura suddenly turned against him and sold his company shares to outsiders. The family was in chaos. If his health is not good anymore, that would be great."

Li Ye stared at Nakamura Kenshou who was swinging his club and asked, "What about now? Is his house not in chaos now?"

"Ah~"

Old Song sighed and said dejectedly, "I've been very lucky in the past few years. The stock market and the property market have been rising like crazy.
The old man mortgaged all his assets and invested them in the stock market. He made back all the money he lost. I really don’t understand how God saved him.”

"It's impossible to save him. The stock market is a thing. The higher it goes, the harder it will fall. And once he makes money in the stock market, he'll be addicted for life. You just wait patiently. His good luck is about to end."

“Almost at the end?”

Old Song was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "Zhuangyuan, what is this hexagram you are talking about? How do you explain it?"

Li Ye did not answer. He stood up and pushed the telescope, and said to Lao Song: "After each viewing, remember to move the lens to another direction to avoid trouble." ""

In fact, after Naoto Nakamura died, Li Ye started to let Fu Guiru deal with Nakamura Corporation. Now the Nakamura family has been tied to a crazy running carriage.
The horses were already going crazy, but they had no brakes in their hands.

. . . . . . . . .

"Sir, do you want to eat now?"

"Okay Junko, thank you."

"You're too kind."

Li Ye had dinner at Old Song's house. It was authentic Chinese food and tasted quite good.

This made Li Ye feel more favorable towards Junko.

The last time he came, the other party demonstrated his tea ceremony, which was very charming, but Li Ye felt that no matter how good the tea ceremony was, it was not as worth showing off as an authentic dish of spicy and sour potato shreds.

Li Ye could feel that Junko was trying her best to change. Not only did she know how to cook Chinese food, but when she spoke to Lao Song, she almost always spoke in Chinese. Although it sounded a bit strange, she was really trying hard.

For a woman, trying to change a man and changing herself for a man are two completely different things.

Think about those fairies decades later who will demand men to be ambitious, self-reliant, humorous and rich. And they will wonder strangely, "How much effort can that take?"
But while they ask their men to change, how many of them are willing to change themselves for their husbands?

After finishing the meal, Lao Song instructed his female apprentice: "Chunzi, bring the prepared accounts over, and wait for Yunling downstairs."

"Ok."

Junko went to another room, took out a large stack of account books, then changed her shoes and went downstairs.

Li Ye casually flipped through the account book and found that most of the trade was importing light industrial products from the mainland. The profit was not much, but the turnover was not small.

Li Ye was sure that Lao Song had not completely given up the underground money lending business.

When the local merchants exchange currency for others, they receive RMB, but when the other party arrives overseas, they need US dollars. If there is no suitable way, this business cannot be done at all.

Now Duo Ye is organizing the supply of goods in the mainland, and Lao Song sends Chunzi to the mainland to purchase in the name of overseas merchants. They are having a lot of fun trading goods both inside and outside.

Li Ye did not point it out. After all, Old Song was not a good boy. Decades ago, he dared to play tricks in front of the Japanese soldiers. Now he was far away from home. How could Li Ye control him?

Anyway, if there is any scandal in the future because of this matter, Li Ye will not care about it.

After Li Ye casually flipped through it, he asked Lao Song: "Last time you told me that Chu Yunling was involved in the pinball machine business?"

Pinball machines are gambling game machines - "Pachinko". In Japan, they belong to an unclear gray industry with huge profits but also high risks.

Old Song did not hide it and said frankly: "We are always subject to some restrictions when doing business in Japan. I see that Chu Yunling is very smart and has a strong will, so I let her try to expand the business.
After you told me last time that there were risks in exchanging currency overseas, I transferred the business to her. I only provided her with loan funds.
After Chu Yunling had the funds for activities, he expanded into the pinball machines, sex shops, film and television industry, and entertainment industry.
In addition, she has also opened a financial services company since last year, specializing in investing in Japanese, European and American stock markets for mainland clients.

"."

Old Song never stopped talking, and Li Ye was stunned by what he said.

Li Ye had expected that Chu Yunling would be involved in gray industries such as pinball machines and brothels. After all, when Old Song was young, he used to run a pawn shop and visit brothels.

But Li Ye was shocked to find that Chu Yunling also opened a financial services company.

To be honest, if it were said that she was an agent for the Hong Kong Mark Six Lottery in the mainland, it wouldn't be surprising for Li Ye, but you help people invest in the stock market. Can you, an artist, handle finance?

Li Ye couldn't help but ask Lao Song: "Has anyone from the mainland approached him to invest in the Japanese market?"

"Yes, I have!"

Old Song said calmly, "Some people have come here to invest in the Japanese stock market since the year before last. According to Chu Yunling, they all have some status and background."

Li Ye recalled that when his elder brother Wen Guohua had just married Pan Xiaoying, Pan Xiaoying told Wen Leyu that there was a way to do this, but Wen Leyu ignored her.

But not everyone has a mother-in-law like Fu Guiru. If the mainland wants to play some exciting financial games at this time, it is really like carrying a pig's head and unable to find the temple door.

But if these people lose money, they may not be willing to admit defeat.

Li Ye asked seriously: "Old Song, what if Chu Yunling compensates them?"

Old Song asked curiously, "What does it have to do with her if we pay? She only takes her share. It's just like playing mahjong. One open and two glares! What's the matter? Can they still come here to bite people?"

"."

Well, this business is really simple, and it’s really profitable.
