A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Tokyo.

In a ten-story commercial building in Ginza, Chen Guangliang was 'inspecting' Si Yezi's investment company. He saw that the company was full of beautiful women, almost like a matriarchal society.

Chen Guangliang, disguised as 'Mr. Yoshida', inspected the work in the office building. All the women wore bodycon skirts and black stockings, which were enough to make men linger.

Of course, he rarely comes here more than two or three times a year, because he's afraid he won't live long enough.

These Japanese female employees readily accepted Chen Guangliang's gaze; after all, it was hard for them to resist a charming middle-aged man. Some new employees even vaguely heard that only those who gained Mr. Yoshida's approval could be truly cultivated by the company.

"Iori, Nadeshiko, what are you busy with?"

Chen Guangliang arrived at the workstations of the twin sisters Ito Iori and Ito Nadeshiko, and looked at the two women with a smile.

They are petite, cute, and sweet girls, and of course, they seem to be twenty-eight years old this year, with a touch of mature womanly charm.

Iori, the older sister, turned around with a sweet smile and said, "Mr. Yoshida, we recently pulled back some of our securities investments because the Nikkei index has been falling since last year! So, we're now analyzing the market and looking for opportunities to buy back in. Here are some market analyses I did; please feel free to give me your feedback!"

Both sisters are college students and joined the company as market analysts.

Actually, it's just a sinecure.

The fourth family is reducing their holdings in Japanese securities by 25% this time, because the Nikkei index has risen to 8000, which means the end of the bull market from 1974 to 1981, and a pullback is needed.

These were all analyses conducted by Chen Guangliang himself, taking into account the lingering effects of the oil crisis, debt defaults in the Third World, and so on.

But one thing is certain: starting in 1983, both the US and Japanese stock markets will experience another bull market.

Chen Guangliang leaned over Ito Iori, his gaze first sweeping over the magnificent figure beneath her white shirt, then briefly glancing at her market research report.

Ito Iori felt a very comfortable sensation and couldn't help but lean her head against Chen Guangliang.

Colleagues were used to it and even wished they were the ones enjoying this treatment.

"I think this correction might reach 6500 points, a 20% drop, and then the Japanese stock market will usher in a major development opportunity!"

Ito Iori exclaimed with adoration, "Mr. Yoshida, you are truly a stock market genius!"

Chen Guangliang whispered at her neck, "Let's have some more fun tonight."

Ito Iori blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"

Chen Guangliang laughed and then went to flirt with the other employees.

He took the hand of a new female employee, looked at her palm, and said, "Hmm, your cleavage..."

This female employee named Yumi is a voluptuous young woman who has only graduated for less than a year. She is 1.7 meters tall, which is rare for Japanese women. To be honest, she is a little chubby, but just the right amount of chubby. After all, Chen Guangliang likes driving tanks and occasionally enjoys a change of pace.

Yumi placed her other hand on Chen Guangliang's thigh and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yoshida, how's my cleavage?"

With you in this state, how could your career not be good?
Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "The career line forks at its starting point, one branch pointing towards the Mount of Venus and the other towards the Mount of Apollo. This indicates that the person has excessive desires, and their fortune is often affected and full of twists and turns."

Yumi blushed and quickly said, "Mr. Yoshida, could you please help me?"

Chen Guangliang said with a smile, "You can't let your desires get out of control! Young lady, it's a good thing to want to improve yourself, but don't be greedy. Look at the way your colleagues are looking at you, or they might tear you apart!"

Yumi quickly withdrew her groping hand and said with her head down, "Mr. Yoshida, please help me!"

"Help yourself, think it over carefully!"

Chen Guangliang smiled and got up to leave. In just a short while, he had seen through this girl and decided to teach her a lesson first.

As expected, after Chen Guangliang left, the seniors all directly suppressed Youmei.

"Yumi, you're a newcomer, how can you think you can ride roughshod over us so quickly?"

"Senior, I."

Chen Guangliang sat in Si Yezi's office, enjoying a massage from her.

"Am I going too far? If Wenying and the others knew about my behavior, would they stop taking me as a role model?" Chen Guangliang sighed.

Why is Si Yezi being treated like this?

After all, no matter how lewd Chen Guangliang is, at most he would only keep Deborah and Guan Jiahui as his concubines; he wouldn't treat a company like his harem.

Si Yezi, as his wife, actually took the initiative to do these things for him, which really harmed him.

Si Yezi said softly, "It's okay to have fun once in a while. I know your health, and I want you to be happy. As for Wenying and the others, they don't know any of this. Even if they did, they're all grown up and have their own independent thoughts. You'll always be the pillar of the family. Besides, you've worked hard your whole life, what's wrong with enjoying yourself a little?"

Hearing this, Chen Guangliang immediately felt no guilt.

He's spent his whole life as a 'laborer'—devoting himself to getting married, having children, raising them, and educating them. Now that he can finally get away, why not enjoy himself a little?

"Si Yezi, you are truly my good wife!"

Tsukasa Yoko is a traditional Japanese woman, and women in Japan have a very low status. Even in the internet age, Japan is definitely one of the worst-ranked countries in the Greater China region, along with South Korea.

Si Yezi smiled and said, "You said the same thing to your three older sisters. That's because we all love you very much, so no one will object to whatever you do."

That's not necessarily true. At least Yan Renmei is very principled and has reminded Chen Guangliang many times—it's okay to have fun, but don't have illegitimate children. Of course, this idea coincides with Chen Guangliang's; he now has more than thirty grandchildren.

Illegitimate children are most likely to have conflicts with their families, and in the end, they may end up raising an enemy.

Children like Chen Wenying and Chen Wensheng cannot be considered illegitimate children at all, because they are children of the Japanese branch of the family, are included in the family genealogy, and have been raised by Chen Guangliang from a young age.

"dong dong"

The person who came in was Nao Miharu, the former secretary of Tsukasa Yoko and now the investment department manager.

"Mr. Yoshida, I'm thinking of getting a boyfriend!"

Chen Guangliang replied matter-of-factly, "No problem. You're over thirty now, it's time to think about settling down!"

He'd been playing around for about ten years, and he was actually getting tired of it. Besides, he didn't care about Japanese women like Nao Miharu at all.

However, actresses like Deborah and Kwan Ka-wai weren't allowed to date while they were dating him, unless he dumped them. Deborah is the best example; she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, so naturally, Feng Ge (her boyfriend) doesn't either.

Nao Miharu was somewhat disappointed. If this man had tried to persuade her to stay, she might have changed her mind and remained chaste for him for life.

However, she immediately opened the package in her hand, inside was a wedding dress.

"I'd like you and the president to take a look at this wedding dress and see what you think?"

After saying that, she immediately took off her work clothes and changed into a Western-style wedding dress on the spot. Si Yezi stepped forward to help her, smiling as she said to Naomi Haru, "If it's time to get married, then get married. Mr. Yoshida has approved. However, you must continue to be loyal to the company!"

Nao Miharu immediately replied, "President, I will always be your most loyal subordinate!"

Nao Miharu, dressed in a wedding gown, is breathtakingly beautiful. She is also one of the few tall women in Japan, and her glasses give her a capable and strong appearance.

Of course, this is just the impression given to outsiders; under Chen Guangliang's command, everyone is a lamb.

Before long, the little lamb started holding onto the desk.

Very well, madam, you didn't want that either.
After three days of guidance at Si Yezi's investment company, Chen Guangliang was almost exhausted and finally returned to his family on the fourth day.

The four branches of the family did not separate and continued to live together, mainly because the two brothers, Chen Wenying and Chen Wensheng, insisted on this to show family unity.

Now, Chen Wenying is the father of three children, and Chen Wensheng is the father of two children, for a total of three sons and two daughters. Of course, the two brothers will continue to have their wives have children.

As for Chen Yingyi, she is only 18 years old this year. She looks similar to her mother, Si Yezi, and has some of the characteristics of a traditional Japanese woman. But this is only on the surface. Chen Yingyi is destined to become an entrepreneur and cannot become a traditional Japanese woman. She is also working hard and has been admitted to the University of Tokyo.

"Dad, I'm sorry to bother you. I brought a sample of the 'Red and White Machine' home. Could you please take a look and see if it meets your requirements?" Chen Wenying respectfully handed over the Red and White Machine.

It was simply because it disturbed the father who was disciplining his grandchildren.

Chen Guangliang marveled at how Japanese society is both traditional and modern.

As far as he knew, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Japan's richest man, was so filial that even his concubine's son eventually took over the family business.

Growing up in such a society, Chen Wenying and Chen Wensheng were naturally the 'most filial' among Chen Guangliang's many children, even though all fifteen of Chen Guangliang's children were very filial.

"Hmm, perfect timing to play some games with Zechong!"

Chen Zechong is Chen Wenying's eldest son, and he is 6 years old this year.

Chen Guangliang first checked the structure and weight of the "Famicom" and found that it looked just like the Famicom he remembered. Then he inserted the cartridge and started playing games with his grandson.

From a professional perspective, the hardware technology of the 'Famicom' has surpassed that of the 'current version of the Atari 2600'.

"How much does it cost?"

Chen Wenying quickly replied, "We plan to price it at 14800 yen (equivalent to 50 US dollars)."

Chen Guangliang said in surprise, "I'm afraid there's no profit to be made at this price."

Chen Wenying said, "There is indeed no profit, but we will definitely focus on the profit from the software, especially having great confidence in Super Mario."

Only he understood that Super Mario was a project his father had passed down to him.

When do you plan to release it?

Chen Wenying replied, "I have invited Brother Ba (Chen Wenhai) to visit Electronic Arts. After communicating with him, we will probably launch it in June this year. But it will only be available in Japan. The US market is expected to launch next year, because I am confident that it will sell very well in Japan and that we will break through 100 million units in sales this year."

Chen Guangliang nodded. He invited Chen Wenhai to Japan to conduct an inspection so that Chen could confirm that the Famicom was far superior to the Atari console. This would give Chen Wenhai time to sell the Atari at a higher price.

It's worth noting that Atari has sold approximately 15 million units of the 2600, which, at $199 per unit, equates to $3 billion in sales revenue, not including software revenue; during this period, the profits generated have also exceeded $500 million.

At that time, many companies were willing to buy this world's largest video game company.

"Okay. Then let's list EA early next year. The funds raised can be used to invest in Tokyo real estate and securities, while ensuring the existing business is maintained."

"Thank you for your guidance, Father."

EA's success today is entirely due to his father's support and guidance.

However, he was also a little puzzled, because EA itself had plans to develop something similar to Super Mario, but his father had also told him about this plan. Of course, he unconditionally obeyed his father and wouldn't dwell on these things too much.

After dinner, Chen Guangliang called his two sons to his study, including Si Yezi.

"Given Japan's current development, it will inevitably have a huge impact on US exports. I believe the US will force Japan to appreciate the yen at some point. In addition, Japan's development is truly astonishing, so starting next year, Japanese securities and real estate will experience a major boom. So you two brothers remember, if you can borrow money to develop, try your best to borrow and invest in high-quality real estate in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitan areas, as well as the securities I told you about, and increase your efforts. Of course, once it reaches a frenzied level, you should consider selling. This is what is called 'Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.'"

Chen Wenying then said, "Father, my main focus is on developing EA's electronics industry. My real estate investments are mainly in purchasing finished properties, along with securities investments. In this way, my energy remains focused on the gaming electronics industry!"

Chen Guangliang said, "Hmm."

Chen Wensheng immediately replied, "Father, I am now capable of independently developing large-scale real estate projects. Next, I will follow your instructions and solve the funding problem by taking out large loans, and invest in more real estate projects and land."

"Yes. Land speculation and property speculation will also continue."

"Ok"

Then, Chen Guangliang said to Si Yezi, "I have reviewed the financial situation of your investment company. You can continue to increase your investment by mortgaging securities and taking out loans by mortgaging properties. The funds obtained can then be given to Wensheng to make him even stronger."

Si Yezi hesitated and said, "Should I keep things calm here and let the two of them be bolder?"

After all, this was a gamble on the fate of the entire fourth branch of the family, so she hesitated.

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "As long as you listen to me, I will be your support. Unless, you dare to disobey my orders."

Chen Wenying and Chen Wensheng quickly replied, "We will not disobey our father's orders."

Si Yezi quickly added, "I believe in my husband."

Even if history changes, the fourth branch of the family will not truly suffer. The family office will provide regular living expenses, and Chen Guangliang himself will not neglect them.

Moreover, by 1988, the fourth house would not expand, but would instead begin to try to reduce debt; starting in 1989, it would gradually liquidate its holdings, thus securing victory.

night.

Chen Guangliang lay in the bathtub, being washed and cared for by Si Yezi and the 'housekeeper' Xue Nai.

It has to be said that although Chen Guangliang didn't favor Xue Nai very often, she did indeed defy aging, looking like she was only thirty-five or thirty-six years old at fifty.

"Sister Xuenai, my husband needs to rest tonight, so don't even think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Yukina quickly pulled her kimono collar tighter and said with a smile, "Master must have had a wonderful time these past three days."

Chen Guangliang lay in the bathtub, closing his eyes to rest, and said, "Xue Nai is not bad either; she always serves me very attentively!"

Upon receiving such praise, Xue Nai served Chen Guangliang even more diligently, washing every inch of his skin.

When night fell, Chen Guangliang needed to rest, and he fell into a deep sleep with Si Yezi in his arms.

After seeing the two of them asleep, Yukina made a makeshift bed under the bed and then fell asleep with a smile, looking forward to spending time with her husband the next day. (End of Chapter)
