Chapter 508 Impression of Tokyo
There is a 16-hour time difference between Tokyo and Los Angeles.
It should be almost time to sleep, and the sun is still hanging high in the air.
Although he slept on the plane for several hours, the biological clock was upside down, which made Han Xuan very uncomfortable.
Toyota car is walking along the black asphalt road, with dense factories on both sides, stretching for several kilometers.
Japan has been affected by several consecutive economic crises over the years, and a large number of factories have been abandoned and the sign of "factory building for sale" has been put on.
After more than twenty minutes, I arrived in downtown Tokyo.
Tokyo is now one of the four major international cities alongside London, Paris and New York. These cities have been to Han Xuan. Compared with them, Tokyo is obviously lacking in some beauty.
Japanese women on the street are polarized, the ugly ones are particularly ugly, and the beautiful ones are particularly beautiful.
The clothes are monotonous in color, and the most popular loose bell-bottom pants are all over the eyes. In Han Xuan's opinion, he is a bit funny, and his aesthetic view is too advanced.
It was over 1:00 p.m., and it happened to be working hours, and the residents of Tokyo looked very tired.
Living in this city in the 1990s was not an easy task. I was afraid of losing my job and paying my mortgage. I was carrying all kinds of pressure, which led to this generation being a little confused.
Han Xuan clearly discovered this from books by Haruki Murakami, Junichi Watanabe, and TV series such as "Tokyo Love Story".
The train passing by on the bridge was filled with pedestrians, and they all turned their eyes to the fleet that could not see at first sight
Through the car window, you can see a landmark building in Tokyo on the other side of the moat, with flying eaves and heavy pavilions, white walls and black tiles.
The exquisite buildings, together with the rich Japanese national style, are half-covered and half-reflected among the yellowed bushes.
It seems that the only little cultural heritage in the entire Tokyo is hidden in the bushes on the other side.
After hearing Sakamoto Kazuhiko that it was the residence of the Japanese royal family, Han Xuan looked at it in surprise.
Looking at the Imperial Theater, separated by a river from the Imperial Palace, and the rows of uncharacteristic and extraordinary tall buildings behind it, it is difficult to connect them, as if they exist in two worlds.
This is probably the consequence of purely pursuing Western culture and abandoning the architectural characteristics of one's own ethnic group.
If you think about it carefully, Tokyo was bombed more than a hundred times during World War II and almost became ruins. This strange situation of coexisting ancient buildings and high-rise buildings should have been formed after reconstruction.
Han Xuan had no face to comment on something, because China would also follow this old path. When he made up his mind to buy more courtyards in Yanjing, it would be difficult to find them after a few years.
I looked down at my watch and it was still showing Eastern Time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening and couldn't help but doze.
When the old man saw this, he also called out and said, "Stay until night before going to bed.
Now that I sleep now, I will suffer from insomnia at night, and tomorrow I will feel even more uncomfortable. I will wait for the biological clock to adjust in two days."
"Well, I'll go to the city later."
In the passenger seat, Sakamoto Kazuhiko pointed at the Hilton Hotel sign, and Japanese English sounded particularly weird: "The hotel is there.
Han Xuan, if you want to go, let my driver take you there. I have known your grandfather for many years and are friends.
Just tell me if you have anything to do, treat this place as your home.”
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sakamoto."
Han Xuan was unfamiliar with the place here. With an old driver leading the way, he could save a lot of trouble and avoid the trouble of driving without a driver's license. He turned his head and asked the old man: "Where are you?"
"I made an appointment with someone to discuss business. Mr. Sakamoto met the president of Japan 7-eleven Co., Ltd., and he is also interested in participating in this business."
Han Xuan said oh and immediately realized.
No wonder Sakamoto and Hikaru are so enthusiastic that they even found thirty cars to pick up people. They turned out to be the ones who wanted to do convenience store business with their own old man.
Sos Group has no foundation in Japan, and it can indeed solve a lot of troubles with a local trading company. Marubeni Corporation originally had logistics channels and is an ideal partner.
Find the Lycra camera from her bag, stretched out the window and took some street scenes. Anya asked for it, and waited to return to the United States to show her.
Turning a corner at the intersection, driving forward for a few minutes, and coming to the entrance of the newly built Hilton Hotel in Tokyo Bay.
There were more than a dozen people standing on the side of the road, quarreling with each other. They were all wearing professional suits and each brought a bag, unlike tourists or hotel customers.
Tourists will not wear such formal wear. If they were customers, they would not wear this cheap suit and come to a five-star hotel.
Hilton Hotels are cheap in the United States, but the price abroad is not very high.
When Sakamoto and Hikaru saw this scene, they were dissatisfied and asked the waiter who came to open the door, "What's wrong there?"
"Hello, gentlemen, welcome to the Hilton Hotel.
Hello, Han Xuan, those people are here to find you."
The male waiter replied from a pure California accent that he was a white man.
"Look for me?"
Han Xuan pushed open the door and got out of the car, looked at the words on the folder in their hands, and was shocked!
I can't see clearly. Is it myopia?
Rubbing his eyes and walking forward for two steps, the people also saw Han Xuan, jogged over and closed their legs and bent down to greet him, and then introduced themselves.
"Hello! Jun Takahashi from Daiji Real Estate Agency! He used the phone call before!"
"I am Shimizu Kogoro from Nissan intermediary company! Do you want to buy a house in Tokyo? Where to buy it?"
"I am Aoi Sora of Shuangni Real Estate Agency. Our company has the best house in Tokyo!"
“…”
Han Xuan's ears raised, and he clearly heard the name of the enlightenment teacher from the messy self-introduction.
He immediately turned his eyes to the elderly woman who was talking. She was quite beautiful, but she didn't look like her at all. He raised his hand and shouted in Japanese: "Quiet!
I want to buy a lot of houses, now go to Ginza!
You guys wait, I'll go back to my room to take a shower first, sorry..."
Yes.
He is preparing to buy a house in Ginza.
After more than 20 years of development after the war, Japan entered a period of super-rapid economic development since the 1970s.
A large number of private enterprises such as Sony, Panasonic, Toyota have emerged, and are beginning to develop towards outward-oriented enterprises.
The development of Japan's home appliances, automobiles and other industries has driven the rise of steel and machinery manufacturing industries and exports have increased significantly.
Foreign exchange earned by companies continues to pour into Japanese banks. The banks were stunned when they faced so much money and tried their best to lend money, which prompted the occurrence of a real estate bubble.
At that time, someone joked to the president of Mitsubishi Land and the largest commercial real estate developer in Japan: "You are so rich, when will you buy the Rockefeller Building in New York? It is the most luxurious building in the United States!"
A year later, Mitsubishi Land Institute really bought the Rockefeller Building for $200 billion, and put the Japanese flag on the highest point of the building.
In 1987, land prices in Ginza in Tokyo rose by 40%. Four years later, the Japanese real estate bubble burst!
The original 100 million yen house had 45 million yen left. The Mitsubishi Land Building, which purchased the Rockefeller Building, lost 100 billion yen!
Now is the lowest land prices in Tokyo.
This time, Han Xuan used several companies to mortgage it and borrowed a total of US$1 billion from Standard Chartered Bank, which is approximately 132 billion yen (to be continued.)
