Chapter 878: The Artist Started to Engage in Finance

Narita Airport is not far from Yokohama, just over an hour's drive away.

But when he arrived at Yokobin, Li Ye saw that Junzi was driving in the direction other than Yokobin Chinatown, so he asked Lao Song, "Why, you don't live in Chinatown now?"

"The No. 1 Scholar has a good memory. I have been dizzy for more than half a year since I came here."

Mr. Lao Song praised Li Ye for his good sense of direction, and then explained with a smile: "Now that our business has become bigger, people always come to China Street to look for me. I was annoyed, so I gave the store to Junzi. "Okay, I'll take some time off by myself."

"Hey, then I have to see what kind of big deal you are doing now, Old Song."

"Hehehehe, as long as the number one scholar likes him, that's fine."

Lao Song's new home is not a single-family house that is common in Japan. Instead, he chose 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 climb over the wall and jump in, they can't escape once someone blocks the door, 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 could easily give people a sense of arrogant and wanton "dominance".

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

Although the last time Li Ye came to Japan, he knew that Junzi was more than just Lao Song's "disciple".

But at that time, Lao Song promised that he would not remarry and would not insult his ancestors, but now he openly lives in the same room.

Only talk about love but not marriage? Isn't that an old gangster?

When Junzi went out to make tea, Li Ye couldn't help but ask Lao Song: "Old guy, are you preparing the old tree to sprout new buds and regain its second spring? If you really like her, just marry her!

Remember to let me know when you have a happy event, and I will be a big part of it for you."

Lao Song quickly explained: "You have misunderstood, Zhuangyuanlang. Junzi lives here just to make it easier for me to study and take care of me."

"Yeah?"

Li Ye smiled narrowly and whispered: "Then why did you choose to live in such a high building? Is it because of the beautiful scenery? I can tell you that Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. If something happens, you will live there. I can’t even run at such a high altitude.”

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

After all, this is other people's territory. No matter how well Lao Song lives, the people around him may be more malicious.

Lao Song is over sixty this year, and Junko is just over thirty. She must be under a lot of pressure.

Think about the fact that stupid Japanese women who are willing to marry flower growers will basically be strongly opposed by their families, and you will know how xenophobic and narcissistic this nation is.

But if on the other hand, Lao Song is a Japanese idiot, then is the thirty or forty years difference still a problem?

And living in this kind of reinforced concrete fortress, no one knows each other, and you may not know your neighbors upstairs or downstairs for several years. Compared with living in a single-family house in the countryside, you can avoid a lot of gossip.

But after Li Ye finished speaking, Lao Song was not embarrassed, but slowly became quiet.

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

Lao Song pointed to a blue building about 700 to 800 meters away with the camera, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please look over there, No. 1 Scholar. The seventh floor of the blue building is Yokobin Nakamura Co., Ltd.

Every morning at seven o'clock, that man will appear in his office on time. He is more than ten years older than me and his body looks better than mine. But when I look at him here every day, I feel full of energy. Son"

"."

Li Ye looked at the blue building, attached 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 his golf swing. He seems to be in good health.

Li Ye asked calmly: "Is that the golfer?"

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

The thirty-fold telescope has very good clarity. Li Ye can clearly see the opponent's swing and the furnishings in the office.

Nakamura Kenju's office furnishings are not complicated, but it uses a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows. Not only can people outside see it, but employees within his own company can also follow his president's every move at any time.

Li Ye put himself into the situation and felt that it would be very uncomfortable if he was placed in such a "transparent" office environment.

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

Old Song smiled slightly and said: "I have also guessed this. The year before last, I heard that the eldest son of the old guy in Nakamura suddenly rebelled and sold the company shares in his name to outsiders. The family was in chaos. A pot of porridge, if his health is no longer good, that would be great."

Li Ye stared at Nakamura Kenju who kept swinging and asked, "What about now? Now his house is no longer chaotic?"

"Alas~"

Old Song sighed and said dejectedly: "In the past few years, we have been very lucky here. The stock market and property market have risen like crazy.

The old guy mortgaged all his assets and invested in the stock market, and made back the money he lost. I really don’t understand how God saved him."

"It can't be saved. The stock market is like this. No matter how high it rises, it will fall as hard as it will. And once he makes money in the stock market, he will be addicted to it for life. Just wait and see, his good luck is about to end."

"Almost the end?"

Old Song was stunned and asked quickly: "Zhuangyuanlang, what hexagram are you talking about? How to explain it?"

Li Ye didn't answer. He stood up, pushed the telescope, and said to Lao Song: "Every time you finish watching, remember to move the camera to another direction to avoid getting into trouble."

"."

In fact, after Naoto Nakamura died, Li Ye started asking Fu Guiru to deal with Nakamura Co., Ltd. Now the Nakamura family has been tied to a crazy running carriage.

The horses were going crazy, but they had no brakes in their hands.

. . . . . . . . .

"Sir, do you need to eat now?"

"Okay Junko, thank you."

"You're too kind."

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

This made Li Ye feel more fond of Junko, a woman.

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

Li Ye could feel that Junzi was already trying her best to change. Not only could she cook Chinese food, but she almost always spoke in Chinese when talking to Lao Song. Although it sounded a bit weird, she was really working hard.

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

Think about those little fairies a few decades from now. They want men to be motivated, self-improving, funny, and rich. And they also think strangely, "How much effort will this take?"

But while they are asking their men to change, how many of them are willing to change themselves for their husbands?

After finishing the meal, Lao Song told his female apprentice: "Chunzi, please bring the prepared accounts and wait for Yun Ling downstairs."

"OK."

Junko went to another room, brought a large stack of ledgers, then changed her shoes and went downstairs.

Li Ye casually flipped through the account books and found that most of them were trade transactions importing light industrial products from the mainland. The profits were not much, but the turnover was considerable.

Li Ye confirmed that Lao Song had not completely given up on the underground bank business.

Mr. Duo from the Mainland exchanges foreign currency for others and receives RMB, but when they go overseas, what they need is US dollars. Without a suitable way, this business will not work at all.

Now Mr. Duo is organizing the supply of goods in the mainland, and Lao Song has sent Junzi to purchase in the mainland in the name of overseas merchants, and he is having a lot of fun switching things around.

Li Ye didn't give a damn. After all, people like Lao Song were not good boys. Decades ago, they dared to play tricks in front of Japanese soldiers. Now that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, how can Li Ye care about them?

Anyway, if there is a scandal over this matter in the future, Li Ye won't care.

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

Pinball machine is a gambling game machine - "Pachinko". In Japan, it is an unexplained gray industry with huge profits but also high risks.

Lao Song didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "When we do business in Japan, we are always subject to some restrictions. I saw that Chu Yunling has a very active mind and is ruthless, so I asked her to try to expand the business.

After you told me last time that overseas currency exchange was risky, I transferred it to her to run the business. I only provided her with lending funds.

After Chu Yunling had working capital, she expanded into pinball machines, custom shops, film and television industries, and entertainment industries.

In addition, since last year, she has also opened a financial services company, specializing in investing in Japanese and European and American stock markets for mainland customers."

"."

Old Song couldn't stop talking about it, and Li Ye was also stunned for a while.

Li Ye had expected that Chu Yunling would be involved in gray industries such as pinball machines and custom shops. After all, that old guy from Song Dynasty had opened a pawn shop and visited brothels when he was young.

But Chu Yunling also opened a financial services company, which shocked Li Ye.

To be honest, Li Ye is not surprised that she is the agent of Hong Kong Mark Six Lottery in the mainland, but if you help people invest in the stock market, can you, an artist, be good at finance?

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

"Yes, I have!"

Lao Song said calmly: "Since the year before last, there have been people coming to invest in the Japanese stock market. According to Chu Yunling, they all have some background."

Li Ye remembered that when his eldest 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. At this time, if the mainland wants to play some exciting financial games, it’s hard to find a temple with a pig’s head.

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

Li Ye asked seriously: "Old Song, what if Chu Yunling loses compensation to others?"

Lao Song asked strangely: "What's wrong with her? She only takes her own share. It's like pushing Pai Gow. She glares at you! What, can they still come here to bite people?"

"."

Yes, this business is really simple and very profitable.
