Chapter 145 Ambition for Land
There was still some time before seven o'clock, so Xian Yaowen did not go back to the Imperial Hotel, but started walking on the street.

At this time, the "Customer Suppression Law" had been promulgated, and prostitution was defined as illegal. However, because of the existence of Youkuo and the need for a large number of women whose husbands died on the battlefield to survive, no one would pursue some things even if they were illegal.

Who dares to investigate? Hundreds of thousands of women who rely on the custom industry, plus the elderly and children, all go to someone's house to eat, to see who can feed so many mouths.

For most people, they can do despicable things secretly, as long as they are not in a circle of acquaintances, and as long as they are not in public, they will not feel that the money they make is so shabby. Because of this, most women will choose to work with others. Working in a dark room blocked by walls and curtains, I rarely stand under the neon lights and pose in front of the street.

Xian Yaowen passed by the window of a small department store and looked at several female models in swimsuits who were standing, squatting, or lying down inside. All of them were shy. Some were staring naturally at passers-by eating melons outside the window, some were laughing, and some were waving. Say hello to passersby.

He waved in response, and when the female model noticed him and waved to him again, he made a circling gesture. The female model smiled slightly, raised her hands like a ball, and raised one foot, using Lelewe's movement. Turned gracefully in a circle.

Lelewe is a term for ballet. It is not appropriate for a female model to show her swimsuit in a ballet posture, but her calmness and calmness are worth learning from the models of the Grammy Model Team.

Xian Yaowen smiled at the model facing him again, and then observed the height and figure of several models. The floor of the window display was raised, more than fifty centimeters higher than the road. Even so, the tallest standing model One was only half a head taller than him, and his actual height was only a little over 1.5 meters. Looking at his figure, it can only be said that his thighs were quite white, and the rest was not worth mentioning.

The idea of ​​establishing the Tokyo branch of the Grammy Model Team that had just arisen was immediately poured cold water on him. Looking back on the past two days, he had never seen a tall woman at all. 1.55 meters can be considered a high altitude. Just now he was in In the Xinqiao Market, when he was talking to the vendors, he always looked down at an angle of more than 45 degrees, never looking straight down, let alone looking up.

It's okay to have one or two 1.5 meter models to look different among the taller ones, but a whole team would be a disaster, and the secret brand's style is completely gone.

He believed that he could definitely find a woman with a height and body that qualified to be a model in Tokyo, but it would be very difficult to absorb such a top model, and she might end up facing the rich and powerful.

After he stopped thinking about forming a team, he left the display window and continued walking forward. After a while, he passed by a "side hotel". He had seen a description of this kind of hourly hotel in the newspaper. It should be the prototype of later love hotels, but At this time, the business philosophy is more advanced, and the theory of the sharing economy has been put into practice here. With a click of a finger, an Italian cannon will be unlocked, and you can use it at will during the rental period.

Xian Yaowen went in, but quickly left. The business was very good, there were many customers, and harsh sounds of fights occurred one after another. The conditions were too poor, there was no single room with four walls, only a large car shop, and a curtain to hide his shame. This kind of environment was simply Not suitable for chatting with someone.

Continuing to walk forward, he passed by a "Yu no Soup", and he got in again. This time he didn't leave quickly. He asked for a large independent private room, and asked four bathing companions, one of whom gave Qi Longque a bath. The remaining three took advantage of Xian Yaowen and chatted with him.

I was lucky enough to have three bathing companions, three typical models: one was a rural widow whose husband was raped in the late war, one was a widow whose husband was a low-level navy officer, and one whose husband was an anti-war activist during the war was arrested first and then again after the war. After being released, I don’t know what kind of torture he suffered in prison, or he realized the true meaning of life. In the past few years, he has become an anti-labor person. The burden of family life is all on Bao Yu. He is not as easy as the previous two widows. .

One comes from a peasant family, one comes from a wealthy citizen family, and one comes from a small citizen family. The three people can respectively represent the three main components of society. Their cognitions and opinions can reflect many problems in Eastern society. Xian Yaowen added a bell, and The three of them talked until they were almost bald.

Xian Yaowen obtained a lot of very useful information from the mouths of the three of them. For example, the three of them rarely eat sweets. It's not that they don't like to eat sweets, but sugar is too expensive. It's almost difficult to buy it in the official market, so they can only buy it on the black market. The high price makes them want to eat every pellet.

Although he has read from the newspaper that Japan's sugar production last year was 3 tons, which averages to a population of 8300 million, and the per capita quantity is only 0.36 kilograms. Looking at the numbers, he can tell that it is difficult for Japanese people to eat sweets, but the cold numbers It's not as true as a true description of feelings that goes straight to the heart.

"With the help of the League President, and out of compassion for others, we risked our lives to smuggle several batches of white sugar, transporting "affordable" white sugar to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, so that millions of people can eat sweet rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival."

This is an idea that Xian Yaowen just came up with. It is quite easy to make tens of millions of yen from this business. It is very difficult to make more than one billion yen. It involves too many areas, including the powerful people of the East, the league leaders, and the agricultural groups of the United States. It will stir up a hornet's nest.

On the way to the Golden Valley Hotel, he sorted out the stakes and made a rough decision to do this business. Profit was one consideration, and establishing personal connections was another. The relationship in New York could be extended from Tokyo. .

The atmosphere of the Western-style dinner was much more relaxed than the afternoon chat. Xian Yaowen positioned himself as a man and Matsuda Yoshiko as a woman. The two were like a pair of lovers who had just started to get in touch, chatting about some relaxed topics with each other. During this period, Xian Yaowen also talked about it from time to time. Show off your knowledge and knowledge, and give Yoshiko Matsuda some pieces that can be used to evaluate him.

The chat in the afternoon just opened the door for the two of them to get closer to each other. Matsuda Yoshiko is not a brainless girl who is in love. Only when the rabbit is fat enough will she fully let go. Before that, there will be a long period of testing and adjustment.

After the meal, Xian Yaowen first sent Yoshiko Matsuda back, and then he went to Kabukicho in Shinjuku.

Kabukicho is located on the east side of Shinjuku Station. It emerged during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1927. At that time, more than 10.5 people died in Tokyo, and there were an unknown number of missing people. The whole of Tokyo was a miserable scene. Shinjuku has a stable geological structure. , was basically not affected. Therefore, many homeless people gathered in the Shinjuku area, and the population suddenly increased more than three times. Because of the gathering of people, Kabukicho was born. However, Kabukicho originally prospered as a commercial street, more like a commercial pedestrian district. During the Pacific War, it was all burned down. After the war, it was rebuilt and was renovated not long ago. Hosted the "Tokyo Industrial Culture Expo".

Under this opportunity, Kabukicho's name quickly spread throughout Asia. After the expo, many of the buildings used in the exhibition became Shinjuku theaters, cinemas, etc. Under the influence of these changes, the pink Kabukicho was born again, and its positioning was adjusted to focus on custom entertainment.

This is a place that American soldiers like to come very much. Whenever night falls, American soldiers will come in groups for entertainment.

Xian Yaowen got off the bus at the intersection, stood on the curb and observed the pedestrians for a while, and then walked northwest of Shinjuku Station instead of walking into the street.

Shinjuku is bounded by Shinjuku Station. The east side is already a very prosperous commercial district, but the west side is an open land. Most of the area is undeveloped and only dotted with scattered one-family wooden houses.

In Xian Yaowen's memory, this area should be the largest concentration of high-rise buildings in Tokyo. Many high-rise buildings have observation decks, and most of the buildings have restaurants on the highest floors, where you can enjoy the spectacular night view of the city.

Standing on the high ground and looking around, Xian Yaowen silently calculated in his mind how many of the world's richest men this open space could produce. As long as he occupied a tenth of this place, he could cash out hundreds of billions of dollars in one go over thirty years. Before cashing out, piecemeal operations can also create huge wealth in advance. According to Dongyang's current development trend, this land will become very valuable in just five years.

In the past two years, MacArthur played a game of fighting landlords in Japan and forcibly implemented the policy of land reform in rural areas - rural land across the country was purchased by the government, and landlords were only allowed to retain a certain amount of land, and the rest had to be sold to the government, and then the government Sold to farmers on demand.

Although it is said to be acquisition, it is actually no different from forced expropriation. One acre of land cannot be sold for more than a bowl of porridge. Infected by the spirit of Da Ba Li, landowners "voluntarily" sell their farmland to the government, and the government then sells it to the government according to the price of each household. Depending on the labor force of the family, farmland of varying sizes is sold to farmers. The money for the land purchase does not need to be paid off at once, and some of the harvest from each season can be used to pay off debts.

MacArthur truly allowed the farmers of the East to have land, and the farmers had an inheritance of cultivated land. In addition, the grain expropriation policy that was being carried out at the same time was all done by the East's own people. No one dared to pour dirty water on MacArthur. , Eastern farmers support the emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

Xian Yaowen was a little sad that MacArthur did not spread the land reform to the city. This made him think about the powerful families he needed to face in the open land in front of him. At the same time, he was glad that the land reform was not carried out in the city, so he only had to face one or two families.

The internal forces in the East are being reshuffled, and the old Chinese people inherited from the shogunate period are declining step by step. Apart from land, they can no longer produce other decent assets. Especially after the land reform, most families have been severely damaged.

On the contrary, families that have emerged through modern commerce and industry have encountered good times. After MacArthur split the consortium, many small and medium-sized families broke away from the control of large consortiums and became independent one after another. Each one sat on the card table based on his true ability and passed the The winner can be determined in the past few years, and then they stand out and become a big family.

Pretending to be a new business family and using the overwhelming power of the League President to clear up the land of the old Chinese is what Xian Yaowen has to do next. Before that, he has to get a series of capital used to disguise himself: funds and puppets on the table. .

If this step of disguise is not done well, the subsequent plan will be impossible to implement. As a Chinese, even if he holds a British and American passport, he will be easily attacked unless he becomes an Oriental and takes root here, but no matter how great the interests of Oriental are , and it is not as big as Europe and the United States. He will not lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.

"It's a pity that there is no reliable person around me. I would have known that I would have brought one more person out from Wenchangwei."

Xian Yaowen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache because of the struggle that would inevitably occur with the puppet in the near future. People's hearts are not enough, but the puppet also has a desire to climb up. The backlash will happen sooner or later. We must both use and guard against the puppet. , all of which are annoying.

Lighting a cigar, thinking about the present and the future, suddenly, I felt tired.

He can only keep things in his heart. There is no one to share with him. It is inevitable to feel tired. However, he has no idea of ​​​​finding someone to explain things. It is safest to just keep things in his heart. If he tells the first person, he will have the second answer. Two people know, and when the third knows, there is only a thin line between everyone knowing, and the secret is no longer a secret.
