I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema!

"Brother, do you see that street? That's Akihabara, where they sell a lot of novel electronics."

When the car finally drove into the commercial district of Ginza, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and stopped in front of Mitsukoshi Department Store, the Nohara family, except Hiroshi and Misae who were already accustomed to it, were all completely stunned by the gorgeous world before them, which was composed of luxury goods, neon lights and surging crowds, as if they were under a spell.

"Let's go, first stop of the day, shopping."

Nohara Hiroshi casually threw the car keys to the parking attendant, holding Misae in one hand and greeting his family members who were still in a daze with the other, and strode into the hall that symbolized wealth and taste.

The next few hours were like a bizarre dream for Nohara Ginnosuke, Nohara Tsuru, and Nohara Sashi.

They watched Nohara Hiroshi strolling leisurely among the rows of brand-name stores with astronomical price tags, like a king inspecting his territory.

"This windbreaker is nice, Dad, try it."

"Mom, the material of this kimono suits your temperament very well."

"Brother, you have a good figure, this suit will definitely fit you well."

He swiped the card without blinking, as if those expensive clothes that his elder brother thought were enough to buy a cow were just T-shirts that cost a few hundred yen at a roadside stall.

From casual Burberry trench coats to formal Armani suits to hand-tailored top-quality kimonos.

Three sets for one person, looking brand new from the inside out.

When the family walked out of the dressing room, all the salesgirls at the counter were staring at them.

Nohara Ginnosuke had a small belly and was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit. The vulgar temperament of a country rich man was suppressed a little, and he had more of the style of a successful entrepreneur.

Nohara Tsuru changed into a lavender visiting kimono, and her gentle and quiet temperament was set off to look even more elegant and noble, just like those noble ladies who appeared in high society banquets.

The one who changed the most was Nohara Sashi.

Years of physical labor gave him a naturally well-built body. When he put on the sharp black suit, paired with the tie and leather shoes that Guangzhi had chosen for him, the simple farmer image instantly disappeared.

Instead, there is an urban man with a burly figure, a resolute face, and full of mature masculine charm.

"I... I still think... it's such a waste." Looking at the figure in the mirror that even he himself felt unfamiliar with, Nohara Sashi was still making a final struggle. He said with a pained look on his face, "Hiroshi, these clothes... are too expensive. I do farm work at home and can't afford such nice clothes. How about... how about returning them? It would be so much better to convert them into cash."

"Who told you to wear this to do farm work?" Nohara Hiroshi smiled.

He did not argue with his elder brother about whether to be frugal or wasteful as he did when they were children.

He simply walked over to his elder brother, helped him straighten his tie, and then asked in a calm, yet unquestionable tone:

"Brother, let me ask you, how much land does our family have now?"

"Land?" Nohara Sashi was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously, "It's still the same. About five mu, or about half a hectare. In Daqu City, I'd be considered a small rural landowner."

"Yeah," Nohara Tsuru interjected. "Some time ago, someone from the agricultural association came to our house specifically to look for Sashi. They said the country has a new policy encouraging farmers like us to pool our land, buy more plots, establish agricultural corporations, and operate on a large scale. This way, we can get more subsidies and it will be easier to get bank loans."

Nohara Hiroshi's eyes lit up instantly.

Co., Ltd.! Agricultural management!

These words, like a bolt of lightning, instantly struck a switch deep in his mind.

He knew better than anyone that Japan's seemingly flourishing economy was merely the last hurrah before the bubble burst. In a few years, the economic crisis sweeping the nation would arrive.

By that time, stocks will become worthless, real estate will be worthless, and countless white-collar workers who have been living a prosperous life in office buildings will become unemployed overnight and end up on the streets.

The only ones that can withstand this storm, or even go against the current, are the most basic and indispensable physical industries.

For example... agriculture!

A bold, even crazy idea quickly took shape in his mind.

He turned around and looked at his elder brother with a look that was more serious than ever before.

"Brother, let's...work together."

"Ah?" Nohara Sashi looked confused.

"Let's set up an agricultural corporation!" Nohara Hiroshi's voice was quiet but resounding. "We'll combine our family's land, as well as any land we can buy in the surrounding area, to create a large, modern farm!"

He paused, glancing at his parents, who were already stunned by his words, and continued, "I'll provide the money, the business ideas, and be responsible for supervision and developing sales channels. Big brother, you provide the technology and be responsible for daily management and production. Together, we brothers will make something big!"

The entire counter fell into deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Hiroshi Nohara as if he were a madman.

"Hiroshi... Hiroshi... You... You don't have a fever, do you?" Nohara Ginnosuke was the first to react. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his youngest son's forehead: "Do you know how much money it costs to set up a joint-stock company? That... That's tens of millions of yen! You..."

"money is not a problem."

Hiroshi Nohara interrupted his father, took out his wallet from the inside pocket of his suit, pulled out a payslip and handed it over.

“Here’s my bonus slip from last month.”

Nohara Ginnosuke took the thin piece of paper suspiciously. When he saw the number on it clearly, his small eyes, which always flashed with cunning light, suddenly widened like two copper bells!

"One... ten... a hundred... a thousand... ten thousand... a hundred thousand... a million..."

He counted the string of zeros tremblingly, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"Three...three million yen?! This...this is just your monthly bonus?!"

This number, like a blockbuster bomb, exploded in the hearts of the Nohara family!

They knew that Guangzhi was doing well in Tokyo, but they never expected that he was doing so well!

Three million yen!

In Akita Prefecture, this amount of money is enough for an average family to save for half a year without eating or drinking!

And this is just his bonus for one month!

Nohara Hiroshi looked at his family members who were completely stunned, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that from today on, his position in this family would no longer be just that of the "promising youngest son."

He will be the real pillar of the entire Nohara family!

The first step of "Big Brother's Happiness Transformation Plan" starts with "Nohara Agriculture Co., Ltd."

At the TV station, Hiroshi Nohara was hit by the 3 million yen bonus, which was like a bolt of lightning across the sky and earth, instantly breaking the inherent cognitive barriers of the Nohara family.

That light piece of paper now seemed as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on Nohara Ginnosuke and Nohara Sashi so hard that they could hardly breathe.

The way they looked at Hiroshi Nohara had changed.

"I didn't expect that you... are so rich! That's amazing!" Nohara Ginnosuke exclaimed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Hiroshi to be so capable." Nohara Sashi counted on his fingers how many years it would take him to save so much money, and finally gave up.

The look he gave his younger brother Nohara Hiroshi was also a bit more complicated, but also showed a proud look: "As expected of my Nohara Hiroshi's brother, Oudoudou!"

"And Hiroshi-kun can get a higher bonus! After all, Hiroshi-kun is now a famous director of Tokyo TV!" At this time, Misae also puffed out her chest, looking at Hiroshi Nohara with pride and admiration.

He said with emotion: "It's just that Guangzhi-kun is too young now and needs to gain experience step by step. Otherwise, with Guangzhi-kun's ability alone, he can definitely become a great leader!"

"You are worthy of being my son!" Nohara Ginnosuke looked at Nohara Hiroshi and laughed with great satisfaction.

Nohara Tsuru also covered his mouth, looking incredulous.

She now knows that Nohara Hiroshi is doing well.

But I didn't expect it.

This is so good!

"Let's go and eat first."

Nohara Hiroshi calmly took back the payroll that was enough to cause a financial crisis in Akita Prefecture, as if he had just done something insignificant.

He held Meiya's hand and led his family, who were still in a petrified state, into an elegant restaurant with a view on the top floor of the shopping mall.

Inside the restaurant, melodious jazz music flows like water, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a breathtakingly prosperous cityscape of Tokyo.

Hiroshi Nohara also chatted with Ginnosuke Nohara and Saji Nohara about the grand vision of "Nohara Family Co., Ltd."

"Guangzhi...you...are you serious?"

It wasn't until the steaming hot steak was served that Nohara Sashi finally found his voice. His dark face was filled with struggle and anxiety: "Establishing a joint-stock company...that's no joke. We...we are just ordinary farmers."

"What's wrong with the farmers?" Nohara Hiroshi cut a piece of tender and juicy steak, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. His posture was calm, as if he was evaluating his own country: "Farmers are the foundation of this country."

"But... the agricultural cooperative..." Nohara Sashi was still hesitant. "Most of what we grow has to be sold through the agricultural cooperative. They set the price, so we can't sell much on our own. Plus, there are so many rules and regulations. If we break the rules, the subsidy will be gone."

"Outrageous!" Nohara Ginnosuke's restless heart stirred at the mention of the Agricultural Cooperative. He took a swig of ice beer and slammed his hand on the table indignantly. "That's right! Those guys sitting in the office know nothing about farming! All they do is give orders! Last year, our rice was downgraded a grade just because a few grains weren't plump enough! We lost over a hundred thousand yen per hectare!"

Although he complained, his tone was filled with a sense of helpless resignation.

"Although there are many rules, there are both good and bad." Nohara Tsuru, standing by, saw things clearly. She gently refilled her husband's beer. "With the agricultural cooperative, at least we don't have to worry about not being able to sell our products, and prices are stable. We have insurance if the vegetation gets sick, and there are generous subsidies for buying farm machinery. It's much better than relying on the weather before, with no food to eat."

Listening to his family members talking one after another, Nohara Hiroshi just listened quietly with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Of course, he knew that the Neon Farmers' Association of this era was a huge and complex community of interests.

To outsiders, it is an organization serving farmers, but in the eyes of him, a time traveler with a vision for the future, it is simply a feudal landlord association disguised as a cooperative!

It uses an invisible network to firmly control millions of farmers across the country and monopolize every link of production, processing and sales.

It enjoys huge financial subsidies from the state and has formulated trade protection policies that are so strict that cheap agricultural products from abroad cannot enter this land at all.

It is precisely under this extreme protection that a group of "monsters" that are rich enough to rival a country have been born - large agricultural companies that own hundreds of hectares of land and integrate production, tourism and brand operations.

In the future, their annual income will be at least 10 billion yen!

Those are no longer farmers, they are real, modern, hereditary agricultural aristocrats!

"But it's better this way." Nohara Hiroshi murmured softly.

His gaze penetrated the bustling city before him, as if he saw the emerald green rice fields of the future, where waves of wealth were surging under the golden sunlight.

What he needs to do is not to go with the flow of the times, but to become the chess player who builds dams and guides the direction of the torrent.

"That's why we have to join them, and then become them." Nohara Hiroshi put down his knife and fork, his clear eyes gleaming with wisdom that saw through everything: "Dad, big brother, remember, from today on, there is only one thing you have to do."

He looked around at his family and said word by word:

"Buy land! Buy all the farmland around Daqu City at any cost! Especially those abandoned by young people moving to the city. We'll take as much as we can!"

"Huh?!" Nohara Sashi's mouth opened wide enough for an egg to fit through, looking a bit confused. "Buy...buy land? Hiroshi, land isn't worth much these days! Everyone...everyone is buying houses in the city, who would buy land in the countryside?"
