Chapter 172 Layout
At the end of November, the beautiful country.

"Mr. Lyon, congratulations on the establishment of your digital supermarket chain." On a Boeing 747, Liu Zhicheng raised a glass of red wine and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Liu.” Leon raised his glass, clinked it politely in the air, and took a sip of the red wine.

Then he looked around and continued with a smile, "Mr. Liu's plane is really luxurious. He uses a Boeing 747 as a private plane. When I heard you ordered it, I didn't expect it to be so luxurious."

"It's not luxurious. You know, I originally wanted to buy a Boeing 737, but the wait was too long, so I changed to this one." Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.

The private jet purchased from Boeing was delivered three months ago and then handed over to a professional decoration company in the United States for interior decoration.

Although Liu Zhicheng came to the United States for some business cooperation, the most important thing was to take over the most luxurious private jet in the world.

The Boeing 747 is currently the largest aircraft in the world, with a cabin area of ​​up to 450 square meters. In Hong Kong, the so-called thousand-square-foot luxury house is only about 90 square meters, and the common area has to be deducted.

Even just looking at the area, it is larger than many villas in Hong Kong, and the interior of the plane has two rooms with private bathrooms and a large bar.

A meeting room that can accommodate 20 people, a study room equipped with IB's latest small supercomputer and an indoor cinema.

This kind of luxurious configuration can shock everyone, let alone a small wealthy man like Leon.

The flight attendant brought two steaks, and Liu Zhicheng and Lyon held up the paper barrier as if they were in a restaurant to prevent themselves from being burned by the boiling oil.

After waiting for a while, Leon used the knife and fork familiarly to cut a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Lyon said: "This steak is great. I've been to many steakhouses in the United States, and few are as good as this one."

"This is the professional chef I invited from France. His best dish is frying steak." Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.

Since he spent hundreds of millions of US dollars to buy a private jet, other investments were naturally just a fraction of the cost, so Liu Zhicheng of course had to choose the best.

For example, the Boeing 747 needed four pilots, and Liu Zhicheng arranged for people to recruit the top six from Cathay Pacific.

Not to mention the flight attendants, they are all the youngest, most beautiful and service-oriented beauties from Hong Kong.

As for chefs, we have hired dozens of top chefs from all over the world.

These chefs usually stay in Hong Kong to prepare meals for the Liu family or senior executives of several major companies. When needed, they follow private jets and prepare food on the planes.

Soon, the two finished their steaks. Liu Zhicheng took a sip of red wine and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lyon, how do you think about inviting you to explore the RB real estate market together?"

"Mr. Liu, if I didn't have any intention, I wouldn't be going to RB with you this time." Lyon said with a smile.

...............

Tokyo, Haneda Airport

"Chairman, welcome to Tokyo." Outside the airport, a 50-year-old Japanese man and several of his subordinates bowed about 90 degrees to Liu Zhicheng and his party.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zelin." Liu Zhicheng said with a smile.

The person who came to pick me up at the airport was called Ze Lin Da Lang, who was once one of the senior lawyers at RB's top Qingtian Law Firm. He had studied in the United States and was fluent in English.

Because Liu Zhicheng has many businesses in RB, he needs professionals who understand RB legal affairs. As they have cooperated with each other many times before, Liu Zhicheng recognizes his abilities.

Now he has been poached by Liu Zhicheng to work for RB Enterprise, becoming one of the few senior executives.

Liu Zhicheng's companies made a lot of money in RB. Liu Zhicheng did not transfer back to Hong Kong and planned to buy a large number of properties in RB.

This is also the reason why Liu Zhicheng invited Lyon to come to RB. After all, with the skin of American capital, it is much safer.

In the next few years, RB's real estate production will grow steadily, and Liu Zhicheng plans to use bank loans to implement the policy of renting to support loans.

In this way, a large number of existing buildings can be purchased, and after the Plaza Accord, it is time for crazy harvesting.

Even if the building you buy now is in the suburbs, every inch of land will become valuable.

In fact, if you can enter the RB real estate development at this time, you can earn more, but in RB, there are many restrictions for foreign capital to enter the real estate development.

Moreover, this industry is too complicated. Considering the appreciation of real estate in Tokyo, it is better to buy the real estate directly.

Shinjuku District is one of the three major sub-centers of Tokyo and also the commercial center of later generations.

It was only 1981, and the various skyscrapers of later generations had not yet appeared. In September this year, Orange Technology purchased the first floor of a building here.

This place became the office area of ​​Liu Zhicheng's companies in RB, so Liu Zhicheng also has his own luxurious office here.

"Mr. Zelin, this is Mr. Lyon, my business partner in the United States. He wants to come to RB to invest in property development." Liu Zhicheng pushed Lyon to the front.

"Welcome Mr. Lyon to Tokyo." Zelin Dalang nodded and bowed again.

"I came to Tokyo this time because I am optimistic about the real estate market in RB. I want to set up a property development company and invest in the real estate market in Tokyo." Lyon said somewhat arrogantly.

The beautiful Chinese people have a sense of superiority towards the Japanese people, and this is exactly the "strength" that Liu Zhicheng needs to borrow.

"It is my honor to serve Mr. Leon." Ze Lin Dalang said with his head down.

"Then please help Mr. Zelin set up a company for me so that I can enter the Tokyo real estate market as soon as possible." Lyon continued.

"Mr. Zelin, you should quickly arrange staff to help Mr. Leon run the company." Liu Zhicheng smiled, interrupted their conversation, and continued: "Have you made an appointment with Akita Nobutada?"

Zelin Dalang nodded and said, "Okay, please rest assured, Chairman. I will immediately arrange for someone to register a company for Mr. Lyon. As for Mr. Akita of Akita Bookstore, I have already made an appointment to meet at his company headquarters at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Akita Shoten is one of RB's publishing houses, mainly engaged in the publication of comics, and owns several weekly comics magazines in RB.

The City Group's comics want to expand its market and sell its peripheral products by finding partners in RB.

Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, we'll go together tomorrow."

Later, Liu Zhicheng told Lyon about his investment ideas. Lyon admired Liu Zhicheng and made him a lot of money every time they cooperated.

Therefore, he did not hesitate too much about Liu Zhicheng's invitation to invest in real estate in Tokyo.

…………

In the evening, Zelin Dalang arranged a reception for Liu Zhicheng and Lyon.

If we go back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, wealthy people all liked to keep skinny horses in captivity.

Skinny horses appeared in Yangzhou, Huainan and Huaibei, because there were many salt merchants there, and each of them was very wealthy.

Their lives were as luxurious as those of the royal family, and their affluent lives supported a number of associated industries, and horse breeders were born at that time. In recent years, many newly wealthy people have done everything they can to squeeze into the top circles and build connections.

They have set up their own modeling agencies, which are actually modern horse breeding businesses. They select beautiful girls who are eager to marry into wealthy families, cultivate their talents, and use them to make friends with high-ranking officials.

There are many clubs opened by RB consortiums in Kabukicho Ichibangai in Shinjuku. In fact, these places are also their horse stables.

Of course, Kabukicho Ichibangai is not only known as a pleasure street, but is also the largest red-light district in Asia.

It was just past nine o'clock in the evening and Tokyo's nightlife had just begun. As soon as we entered Ichome Street, suggestive signs were hung on both sides of the street.

Liu Zhicheng didn't understand Japanese, but Japanese and Korean were created based on Chinese, especially Japanese, so he could guess the nature of the store by guessing.

Compared with the brothels in Hong Kong, the difference between them is not in the same dimension, just like the difference between legal and illegal.

In order to retain repeat customers, legal industries will work hard to improve service quality, causing internal competition in the industry.

Illegal industries do not require quality of service, only focus on making money quickly and do not care about the customer's feelings.

Not long after, the vehicle carrying Liu Zhicheng and his companions drove into a clubhouse without a sign.

There is only a gatehouse at the entrance. If you look from the outside, it looks a bit like a temple or shrine in RB.

Passing through the gatehouse, there are green plants and water channels on both sides, and the roadside lamps are red paper lanterns unique to ancient China.

It should be a private club exclusively for the entertainment of the rich and powerful. After all, in Shinjuku, where every inch of land is valuable, the club covers an area of ​​well over 10,000 square meters.

At the end is a magnificent building with a golden roof, red bricks and glazed tiles. There are five gates on the central axis, and the plaque above the middle gate reads "Xiao Ming Palace".

Liu Zhicheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the name on the plaque. The Yamato people really love the Tang Dynasty.

The Xiaoming Palace was named after the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. Knowing that it could not compare to the Daming Palace which was visited by all nations, it was named Xiaoming Palace.

Lyon, who was traveling with us, was even more amazed by the oriental elements and was reluctant to leave.

As soon as Liu Zhicheng and his party parked the car at the door, the manager in charge of reception, the car boy and the waiter hurried over to greet them with smiles.

A few people first bowed respectfully, and then the manager asked politely, probably asking if they had membership cards or had made advance reservations.

Liu Zhicheng had no idea what they were talking about because he couldn't understand.

After a brief negotiation, the manager's smile widened, and he nodded and invited the three people into the club.

The waiter handed over a hot towel with a floral scent, and the car attendant, wearing white gloves, carefully took the car keys and went to park the car.

Ze Lin Da Lang explained: "Chairman, Mr. Lyon, Xiao Ming Palace is a private club, which is somewhat similar to the selection system of the Hong Kong Jockey Club."

Entering Xiaoming Palace from Xiaodanyang Gate, you will see screens, small bridges and flowing water, and the interior decoration is also full of the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

Two rows of young women in kimonos knelt and bowed in unison, saying "Welcome home" in unison.

Cheongsam and kimono are two magical garments for Asian women. The former can outline the sexy and swaying figure of women, while the latter, although tightly wrapped, has a V-neck and exposed neck, which is full of suggestiveness.

Under the guidance of the kimono waitress, the two entered a wooden box with tatami mats on the floor.

There were various exquisite appetizers on the table, and a steaming casserole in the middle.

Zelin Dalang unbuttoned his coat, handed it to the waiter, and said with a smile: "Chairman, the mutton hotpot here is great, how about we have hotpot?"

Liu Zhicheng looked at the okra cold dish on the table, the fresh oysters, and the wolfberries floating in the soup, and said with a smile: "Are you starting to store energy so soon?"

At this time, Ze Lin Dalang was laughing and looked mature, just like the wretched protagonist in the RB educational films. No wonder RB educational films are so popular.

It has to be said that given his temperament, it would be a loss to the industry if he didn't become an artist. Unfortunately, he usually doesn't appear in educational films, so he is destined not to become a superstar.

The three of them had a total of six waitresses in kimonos. The ones on the left were responsible for chatting and adding wine, while those on the right were responsible for accompanying them with laughter and cooking the mutton.

It is said that they are all top students who are proficient in foreign languages, and some of them are part-time car models or models, so there is no obstacle in communicating with them.

Ze Lin Dalang slowly described the next itinerary. They would eat first, then have a sauna and massage to relax, and finally go to the nightclub to have some fun.

He touched the collar of the waitress next to him and said with a sly smile: "If you want, they can accompany you to complete the rest of the process."

This caused the waitress next to him to roll her eyes and say, "Ze Lin-san, you are so bad~"

The four waitresses serving Liu Zhicheng and Lyon looked at them with anticipation.

Although they did not know Liu Zhicheng and Lyon, they had received prior notice from the company and knew that Ze Lin Dalang was a senior executive of a large group.

The service staff needed to observe the words and expressions of the two people. They found that during the conversation between the two, Ze Lin Dalang always put Liu Zhicheng and Lyon's ideas first.

This is enough to show that this younger and more handsome boy is the protagonist today.

As gold diggers, they will definitely worship the one who is richer. It would be even better if the gold digger is also handsome. Liu Zhicheng meets their requirements very well.

Liu Zhicheng raised his glass and took a sip of sake, then gave an ambiguous answer: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

It’s also a matter of appearance. Both waiters look average, good-looking but not pretty.

After all, picking up girls is not like eating. If you are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, you can also try radishes and vegetables.

2pm, Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, Akita Bookstore Headquarters:

"Hello, Mr. Akita." Outside the president's office of Akita Bookstore, Liu Zhicheng finally met Nobutada Akita, with whom he had worked for a long time but had never met before.

In later generations, when talking about the Japanese comics industry, people who are familiar with it will know that there are three giants, namely Kodansha, Shogakukan and Shueisha.

The three giants each have several well-known magazines, the most well-known of which are Shonen Magazine, Shonen Sunday, Shonen Jump, etc.

From the 60s to the 21st century, the three major publishing houses have almost divided up all of Japan's comics market.

But in fact, there is also an Akita Bookstore which is the least well-known. It is the fourth largest in Japan in terms of scale, but it is not on the same order of magnitude as the first three. Therefore, it is not recognized by people in the industry.

The most famous comic book under Autumn Bookstore is Zhou Shao Nian Champion. At its peak, the circulation of each issue was 50 copies, which is far less than the circulation of millions of copies of other giants.

　Dear fellow book lovers, I apologize for the interruption of updates!
　　I will be done soon, updates will be guaranteed!
