Chapter 961: Returning to Yoto
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_
One year had gone by since Jiang Chen last visited Nippon.
Nowadays, the traces of the tragedy last year could no longer be seen on the streets of Yoto. The Shinagawa area under the control of the UA military was also returned. The shops reappeared, looking brand-new and bustling with life.
The reality proved Jiang Chen's judgment was correct.
The Kurofune collapsed, the T virus disappeared, and the housing prices in Yoto returned to a "normal" level. Although the prices has yet to return to top ten in the world, it wasn't too far away from regaining its former glory. At that time, companies that tossed out real estate like hot potatoes were in despair.
No one thought that the crisis would end so quickly.
Jiang Chen's Shibuya 109 Building bought for 60 million US dollars was now his cash cow under the management of a professional property manager he hired. The Shinjuku Commercial Street he purchased already appreciated more than ten times its original value. Even Akihabara, which he bought because he felt like it, was transformed into a street combined with holographic and augmentative technologies by Future Technology.
The mood of the Nippon government was in a complicated state as they witnessed the transformation brought by Future Group in their own country. On the one hand, Future Group basically rubbed money from people's hands, but on the other hand, they also really benefited in joy and agony.
Just like the UA, 50% of its citizens would protest if Future Group no longer existed. The Nippon government was now facing the same problem. Although they wanted to learn Future Group's technology then kick the company out, they couldn't do that.
However, the reaction of the people was dull, and most of them didn't seem to be bothered by who transformed their city.
The mansion at the foot of Mount Fuji, once a golf course open only to upper class, was completely transformed into a private manor after being bought by Jiang Chen. The green lawn that covered a thousand acres naturally became his private garden.
In order not to waste space, Jiang Chen also learned from the European aristocracy. He hired a French gardener and designated a piece of land to turn into a vineyard. Although the soil at the foot of Mount Fuji was rich in sulfur and the grapes produced weren't sweet, he viewed it as a decoration.
Jiang Chen didn't expect to use the grapes here to make wine.
"Master, please enjoy."
"Mhmm, put it there for now."
"Okay."
Qian Xia, in a maid's outfit, leaned down and gently placed the brewed black tea on the table. When she left, she inadvertently made eye contact with the beautiful woman sitting across from Jiang Chen. She immediately bowed in embarrassment and fled.
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
Liu Yao pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction. She picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and suddenly "squeaked" in surprise.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't speak.
It seemed that during the time when he wasn't there, Qian Xia didn't stop practicing as her tea craft improved.
"Why don't you talk? Did you not miss me?" Seeing as Jiang Chen had no response, Liu Yao acted sad as she put down the teacup.
"How could I not have missed you? I've just been too busy lately." Jiang Chen laughed and changed the subject. "Right, speaking of which, how come you suddenly came here?"
