I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

This was Jiang Chen’s first visit to Nippon.

When he stepped out of the private jet, he could clearly see the depression in Yoto from the scene at the airport.

It was hard to imagine that there were only a few people in the giant airport. The convoy waited at the airport gate, accompanying him was Future Group’s subsidiary in Nippon and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nippon…

“Welcome, Mr. Jiang Chen, I’m Takagi, nice to meet you.” Once served as Ambassador of Hua, Takagi was very fluent in Han, and had a respectful attitude toward Jiang Chen.

However, the Nippon people were always respectful to everyone, Jiang Chen couldn’t tell whether he meant it or not.

“Hello, Mr. Takagi.” Jiang Chen shook his hand courteously.

After some small talks, Jiang Chen learned his identity.

This guy came from a surprisingly powerful background. He was actually the deputy minister of the Ministry of Economy and Trade.

Sitting on the sedan sent by the subsidiary, Takagi got in alone too. He chatted with Jiang Chen while exploring the meaning of Jiang Chen’s visit.

“Mr. Jiang Chen, forgive me for being straight forward. The situation in Yoto is very chaotic. It is not the best time for a sightseeing trip.”

“Haha, Mr. Takagi is a comical guy.” Jiang Chen avoided answering the question, but laughed and diverted the subject, “I wonder what are some good places to visit?”

Takagi took a moment to process as he was stunned but quickly returned to normal and smiled.

“If you plan to go sightseeing, I recommend Mount Fuji.”

Of course, Jiang Chen did not plan to sightsee. As Takagi said, there were no scenic views of Napon at this time.

There were few vehicles on the streets. Other than the traffic lights, Jiang Chen’s car didn’t stop at all. There were very few pedestrians on both sides of the street. Even if someone was passing by, they were in a hurry.

Although this T virus leak occurred only in Shinagawa, it destroyed the order in Yoto. Thousands of companies filed for bankruptcy protection overnight and hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. The Napon Prime Minister announced last night that the country was in a state of emergency. Citizens who lacked food and household items needed to go to a designated place to collect rations…

All the people in Nippon were surprised to find that their prime minister, who was “flourishing” in the international political scene, had his hair turn white overnight.

Not only did the citizens of Yoto suffer, but the quality of life of the people in other parts of Nippon also fell significantly.

The tourism, real estate, and retail sectors bore the brunt of the devastating blow and spread the economic crisis to other areas. However, the most serious loss was not among those industries, but the currency itself.

Some time ago the prime minister was pushing for a monetary quantitative easing policy which already caused the exchange rate of the Yen against the Dollar to fall to 134:1. Although it has improved in 2017, it has never returned to 2014 levels.

Before the outbreak of the virus, the international exchange rate of 1 Dollar was about 106 Yen. After the outbreak of the T virus, the exchange rate became 1:532.

Feel this five-fold drop.

Tanaka’s T virus made Japan’s wealthy class become the middle class overnight, the middle class become the working class, and the working class become refugees on the streets.

Just yesterday, the Future Group injected US$5.2 billion in its subsidiary account in Yoto to prepare for the acquisition of small and medium-sized enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy in Nippon, as well as land, real estate, and skyscrapers that had been devalued…

For Jiang Chen’s arrival, Napon politicians and entrepreneurs were both happy and worried. The good news during the country’s monetary and financial system collapsing was that a foreign investor was willing to enter the market at this moment and inject vitality into this shaky economy. However, what they were afraid of was that Jiang Chen did not come to save their economy but to take money away from them.

After getting off the car, Jiang Chen and Takagi bid farewell and entered the company building under the guidance of CEO Ren Pengfei.

Future Group Nippon subsidiary was located in Shibuya. Because many high-tech companies gathered there, Shibuya was also known as the “Nippon Silicon Valley.” Although close to Shinagawa, which was quarantined, the group’s business had not been greatly affected.

However, it could be predicted that, in the future, for a long period of time, Future Group’s business in Japan will experience negative growth.

Other than Future Biology’s vaccines.

“Mr. Chairman, I have already booked a room for you at the Hilton Hotel. Do I need to take you to the hotel first,” Ren Pengfei asked respectfully.

“No, I didn’t intend to live in a hotel.” Jiang Chen shook his head.

Ren Pengfei was confused.

Not living in the hotel? Are you going to sleep in the company? But there is no bed in the company?

“Contact me the most famous real estate holders in Yoto.”

“Yamato Housing Construction and Mitsui Real Estate are the two largest real estate companies in Yoto.”

“Which is the most extensive in Yoto?”

“It should be Yamato Housing Construction,” Ren Pengfei replied after thinking for a moment.

Jiang Chen nodded.

“Then that one it is. Contact Yamato for me first. I’m going to buy a couple of suites.”

A few to start, Ren Pengfei was immediately shocked by how decisive Jiang Chen was. But when he thought of Wall Street’s assessment of Jiang Chen’s assets, he no longer thought it was a big deal as he nodded.

“Yes!”

After Ren Pengfei went out, Jiang Chen sat directly on his office chair and looked at the layout of the office.

The decor of birch wood was not particularly bright, but it looked very comfortable. The floor-to-ceiling windows behind could directly overlook the streetscape of Shibuya’s most bustling district and the lighting was also excellent. Jiang Chen originally intended to buy an even better skyscraper for the company’s subsidiary company. However, it seems that this was not necessary.

It didn’t take long for Ren Pengfei to come back with a shrewd-looking middle-aged man.

Before Jiang Chen said anything, the man introduced himself courteously

“I am Koizumi, the General Manager of Yamato Housing Construction. I did not expect to see you, Mr. Jiang Chen, here. It is my honor…”

“No need for flattering words, I’m Jiang Chen and I plan to purchase some real estate in Yoto. Does your company have any good listings you would recommend?” Jiang Chen got straight into the topic.

Koizumi did not feel dissatisfied with Jiang Chen interrupting him. When he heard Jiang Chen’s words, his eyes almost smiled.

“Of course, we have the most comprehensive listing available! Not only that, if Mr. Jiang Chen likes an estate we don’t currently own, we can also act as an intermediary for buying houses. Whether luxury, location, or price, we’ll ensure your satisfaction. If Mr. Jiang is willing to pay in US Dollar, we can also offer you a discount!”
