Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 1684 1686【Economic collapse】

  Xiang Nan then reopened the maid cafe in Akihabara, and recruited Ajie as the assistant manager of the cafe.

   This is much more profitable than selling chestnuts on the street.

  Ajie didn't dare to take over. He was afraid that if it didn't work out, it would be bad if Xiang Nan lost money.

   "Brother, how can I run a shop? I don't know anything. I can't do anything. I'd better go back and sell chestnuts." He said in fear.

"Ajie, do you want to sell chestnuts for the rest of your life? There should be higher pursuits in life. It doesn't matter now, just learn slowly, and you will learn it sooner or later." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Besides, you If you don't make more money, how can Uncle De be willing to marry Jingzi to you?"

  He believes that Ajie has this ability. In the film, after his fall, he manages the Huadong group very powerfully, with power spread all over Roppongi, Shibuya, Aoyama and other places. This shows that he has a certain ability.

   It's just that after the fall, he also became crazier, more hysterical, and more arrogant, and because of this, he rushed towards destruction without hesitation.

   Fortunately, running a maid cafe is not so dangerous. And this store is in Akihabara, which is much safer than Shinjuku. Coupled with his own care, he believes that Ajie is capable of doing well.

   Hearing what he said, Ajie had no choice but to nod, "Then I'll try."

  He also wants Uncle De to look up to him so that he can marry Jingzi in the future. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him, a chestnut vendor, to marry Uncle De's precious daughter.

   "Don't worry, you can do it." Xiang Nan patted his shoulder and smiled.

  …

  The maid cafe in Akihabara opens soon. All maids are recruited from Kabukicho. The girls over there are young, beautiful and relaxed, and they are guaranteed to attract customers.

   Sure enough, after a new batch of maids were replaced, several activities were organized, such as ordering coffee to send hugs, ordering pastries to send kisses, etc. The business in the shop quickly became popular.

  By the end of 1993, Xiang Nan and others had earned more than 400 million yen, becoming an out-and-out rich family.

  …

   In 1993, Japan's economy also began to collapse. First of all, the Bund was the real estate market, followed by the stock market, all of which fell into a mess.

  It is not uncommon for real estate that cost hundreds of millions before to drop by three or four. To make matters worse, even with such a large decline, the turnover is very little.

   After all, when the economic bubble bursts, everyone will be affected, so there is no way there is so much money to take over. Furthermore, the real estate market is now falling endlessly, and it has not reached the bottom at all.

  There is a saying in the investment community, which is called buying up and not buying down.

   The more value-appreciated something is, the more people will buy it. For example, stocks, houses, cultural games, and antiques, the higher the price increase, the more people will participate. On the contrary, once the price falls, fewer people will buy it.

   Therefore, when housing prices fall, those who have no money have to sell their houses, while those who have money to buy houses are waiting and watching.

  The collapse of the real estate market also implicated the securities market. Within a year, the Nikkei index fell by nearly 30%. The economic downturn has led to many people declaring bankruptcy and indebtedness. Depressed, suicidal, the list goes on.

  But for Xiang Nan, this is not a bad thing.

   On the contrary, he took advantage of the stock market crash to sell aggressively. Naturally, Xiuxiu's account was used. After all, he was not naturalized yet, so he couldn't open a securities account.

   After this operation, by the end of 1993, the funds in Xiang Nan's hands had reached 600 million yen, or about 4 million U.S. dollars, which could be regarded as a small fortune.

  The economic collapse has not had much impact on the business of maid cafes.

  Because the worse the economy is, the more people tend to please themselves. Young people do not marry, do not fall in love, do not raise children, do not buy a house, and only eat, drink and have fun when they have money.

  So the business volume of the maid cafe has not only not been affected, but has continued to boom. This also allowed Xiang Nan and others to make a lot of money.

  …

  In addition, the relationship between Ajie and Uncle De's daughter Jingzi has become better and better over the past year.

  Uncle De originally looked down on Ajie, thinking that he was a stowaway from China, with no money, no ability, and no prospects. His daughter asked him to be her boyfriend, it was like a flower stuck in cow dung.

  So when he saw Ajie with his daughter, he immediately asked someone to beat him up.

   But later, when he learned that Xiang Nan was Ajie's eldest brother, and that Xiang Nan had won the respect of the triad, he didn't dare to forcefully stop him.

  In addition, Ajie became the deputy manager of the maid cafe, with a monthly salary of one million yen. When he was a proper young talent, he also acquiesced in his daughter dating Ajie.

  He also saw that, with Xiang Nan as a good brother, Ajie's future is destined to be good. That being the case, what else is he going to do?

  With his acquiescence, the relationship between Ajie and Shizuko is naturally getting closer. However, there is still a long way to go before talking about marriage. After all, Jingzi is only nineteen years old this year, and she is still far from getting married.

  …

   As for the Triad Society, Taro Watagawa invited Xiang Nan several times during the year to eat, drink, and give gifts.

  The purpose of his posing this picture of courteous corporal is mainly to let Xiang Nan be used by him.

  Although he has reconciled with Nakajima Hiroshima now, he knows that Nakajima always remembers that he killed Eguchi, and he will definitely avenge him. And he was not resentful that Hiroichi Muranishi was the president of the triad, always overpowering him.

  So he wants to get rid of these two people, which requires a very capable person.

  Xiang Nan is undoubtedly the best candidate.

  Once he has good skills, it is easier to grasp this fleeting opportunity. You must know that assassination is actually a matter with a very low success rate.

  The US CIA is so powerful that it failed 634 times to assassinate Cuban President Castro. It can be seen that it is very rare to assassinate a person.

   Once they fail, Nakajima Hiroshima and Muranishi Koichi will immediately counterattack. At that time, with the strength of the Duchuan group, it may not be able to resist it.

   Therefore, it must be ensured that one hit must hit, which also requires the assassin to be a master. Xiang Nan undoubtedly met this requirement.

  Secondly, Xiang Nan is not a triad member. Although Dongying has a tradition of being inferior to superiors, the gang has always flaunted chivalry and loyalty, requiring younger brothers to be loyal to themselves and the gang.

   Therefore, if Watagawa Taro uses his own people to assassinate, once the matter is exposed in the future, he will be questioned by gang members, and then he will be alienated from him, which will lead to his instability as the chairman.

   Just like the Jin Dynasty, because the country was not upright and the monarch and ministers were alienated, the entire Jin Dynasty could not be peaceful, and there were always internal and external troubles. So even if he wanted to assassinate, he had to use outsiders.

  Three times, Xiang Nan has no power of his own. No matter how good his skills are, two fists are no match for four hands. So don't worry about him taking the opportunity to grow bigger.

   Therefore, he worked extra hard to win Xiang Nan into his use.
