HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 526: Bonus of the Times
"Fake, always fake."

Lin Zehao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and the meaning of his words was obvious.

Akio Morita pushed up his square glasses, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Lin, I heard that among the famous works in your country, there is a book called Journey to the West. One of the chapters tells the story of Sun Wukong and his companions coming to the Little Leiyin Temple and being enshrined as gods and Buddhas."

"In China's traditional culture, it seems to have been seeking mainstream recognition, or turning into a myth. I wonder if my understanding is correct?"

Lin Zehao glanced at him and responded calmly: "How can a fake Xitian be crowned as the real Great Sage?"

As a foreigner, Akio Morita found it difficult to understand the essence of this sentence for a while.

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He had no choice but to write it down in a notebook and wait for a chance to find a professional to answer it in the future.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you are pursuing a diversified development path, and your companies are involved in many industries, but it seems that electronic manufacturing has always been a blank in Hutchison Group."

"I wonder if you are interested in developing some in-depth cooperation with Sony?"

Seeing that he couldn't use his momentum or tricks to gain some advantage, Akio Morita had no choice but to honestly steer the conversation back to business.

Sony has always been coveting the Chinese market, which has huge potential.

However, if you want to do business in that ancient Eastern land, it is absolutely impossible to rely on money alone.

This is also the reason why Sony has never entered the Chinese market.

It’s not that Akio Morita didn’t want to, but that he really couldn’t do it.

"Deep-level cooperation? What does that mean?"

"Are you planning to sell Sony to me?"

Lin Zehao said this seriously, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

"Mr. Lin, you are really humorous. Sony is the pride of the island nation and the entire world. Even Columbia, one of the eight major film studios in the United States, was acquired by Sony's entertainment department."

"How can we sell Sony under these circumstances?"

"What's more, with Sony's current market price, no rich man can afford it alone."

Thanks to the madness of the island country's economic bubble, the Nikkei index reached 38915 points some time ago, and the island country's stock market has developed to its highest peak in history!

The island nation's real estate investment in the United States was US$1.9 billion in 1985 and increased to US$16.5 billion in 1988.

At the end of 1989, the total value of the island nation's land assets was approximately 200 trillion yen, four times that of the United States.

At that time, there was a saying that "If you sell Tokyo, you can buy the whole of America."

The Japanese people of this period were all arrogant and thought they were the center of the universe, and Akio Morita was no exception.

In his heart, Sony is the best in the world!

"The cooperation I'm talking about is to jointly develop the Chinese market with Mr. Lin and establish Sony in China. As long as Mr. Lin can guarantee some things at the government level, he can get valuable dividends every year."

"You don't have to do anything, and you can make a lot of money every year. It's definitely a good business."

Lin Zehao smiled and said, "Instead of this, I would rather buy Sony."

"I have never been willing to work for others. I prefer to be my own boss."

Seeing Lin Zehao's firm attitude, Morita Akio did not insist any more.

In this way, we chatted until the evening, and this unpleasant meeting came to an end.

Looking at the scene of Lin Zehao's motorcade going away, Morita Akio said with a gloomy face: "Stupid and arrogant Chinese people, their eyes are completely in the sky!"

"Do you really think we are still in the Tang Dynasty and the whole world must bow down to us?"

"Even if you have some luck, it can't cover up the fact that you are a gangster. Don't look at your arrogant attitude now. Sooner or later, I will buy out your entire Hutchison Group!"

In Akio Morita's expectation, Lin Zehao should be happy to cooperate with Sony's proposal for cooperation.

After all, the world's economy is now controlled by island countries!
Let alone China, what can happen even if it’s America?
Is it a big deal to have an atomic bomb?
The money of the islanders is enough to buy the entire America!

By then, we won’t even have the land that belongs to our own country. What’s the use of having an atomic bomb!

The news that Sony and Lin Zehao had parted ways spread quickly.

For a time, almost everyone in the island nation's upper class knew that this Chinese man was too proud and even rejected the olive branch extended by Sony.

Faced with rumors flying around, Lin Zehao didn't care at all. He would go shopping with the three women when he had nothing to do and lived a leisurely life.

Perhaps because they felt that such days were too empty, Monica, Sophie Marceau and Christiana decided to open a fashion clothing design company.

Monica has been a model for a long time and is quite familiar with the fashion circle. Sophie Marceau and Christiana are from the entertainment industry. Although they are now semi-retired as Lin Zehao's women, their influence is still there. Even if they only sell to their respective fans and moviegoers, it is still a considerable income.

In this way, the three of them not only have a career to pursue, but can also create value, so Lin Zehao will not get bored too quickly.

After the three of them shared their idea with Lin Zehao, they gained his support and obtained an initial capital of three million, which was enough for the initial operations.

With a goal to strive for, the three women immediately started to get busy and began flying around the world, going to Paris today and Italy tomorrow, causing Lin Zehao from the island country to become alone again.

Of course, Lin Zehao was still very happy that his woman had something important to do.

Being able to create value is one thing, and not being able to create value is another.

Although the vase is beautiful, it will eventually be replaced by a younger one.

No one is always eighteen years old, but there are eighteen-year-old girls every year.

As for Lin Zehao, he will never lack women as long as he wants.

He doesn't even need to take any action, his subordinates will take care of everything.

On the first day when the island country's stock market began to collapse, A Mai appeared in Lin Zehao's villa with a female star who had just become popular in the island country.

"Brother Hao, this was sent by our TV station. I really couldn't refuse it, so I had to bring it here..."

As a considerate boss, what can Lin Zehao say when faced with the helpless Ama?

"Forget it, I won't do it next time."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Lin Zehao would never agree with this bad trend.

If he shows happiness today, all kinds of beauties will fill his villa tomorrow!
Never underestimate the determination of subordinates to get promoted. As the saying goes, what the superior likes, the subordinates will follow.

The King of Chu had a thin waist, and many people in the palace starved to death.

"Yes, Brother Hao, I will pay attention next time."

A Mai is an old subordinate, so of course he knows what to do at this time.

Even though Brother Hao criticized him out loud, he must be remembering his hard work in his heart.

Brother Hao cannot be said to be lustful, but he never refuses any beautiful woman who comes his way.

Sometimes, Ama couldn't help but wonder, with so many women, could Brother Hao's body really handle it?

Of course, as a man, he admires Brother Hao very much. Being able to make so many women live in harmony, even if it is only on the surface, is enough to prove his skill.

No wonder he can be successful, this alone is enough to convince you.

After A Mai left, Lin Zehao and this woman who looked to be in her twenties were the only ones left in the huge living room.

"Hello, Brother Hao, my name is Sawaguchi Yasuko, please take care of me."

Yasuko Sawaguchi has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. She has both the three-dimensionality of Western bone structure and the softness of Eastern skin. Her eyebrows and eyes are deep, and her contours are clear. Her smile is very healing, like the spring sunshine.

Moreover, if you look closely, she actually looks somewhat similar to Rosamund Kwan.

Although Lin Zehao did not have a good impression of the island country, he had to admit that the island country during the Showa period was indeed full of beauties.

"Don't be so reserved. You can go to the cloakroom and change into casual clothes."

"For the time being, you just stay with me and be my life assistant."

For some unknown reason, Yasuko Sawaguchi came to see him wearing the traditional kimono of the island country.

Although this cannot conceal her figure and beauty, Lin Zehao does not like it very much.

"Please wait a moment. I'll go change it."

Yasuko Sawaguchi had already gone through a psychological struggle before coming here. After she had a general understanding of Lin Zehao, she was no longer so resistant to this behavior, but instead felt a little bit of anticipation for it.

It's not that she is a fangirl or love-brained, but any woman who meets a man like Lin Zehao who is perfect in every aspect will have no way to resist.

Not only is he handsome and masculine, he also has great power and financial resources. He is not too old at only thirty-something years old. Although there are many women around, they are nothing compared to these advantages.

What's more, the Japanese generally have a desire to admire the strong.

And Lin Zehao is definitely the strongest among the strong, in every aspect.

In the time that Yasuko Sawaguchi was changing clothes, Japanese stocks plummeted again. Such a violent and sudden situation surprised a group of so-called financial experts!
"Impossible! The island nation is the strongest country in the world. This is just a minor issue. Everyone should have confidence in the island nation's stock market!"

"Now is the time to buy at the bottom, buy when the price drops, not when the price rises. Stupid people are still complaining, while smart people have already taken out loans to buy in large quantities!"

"Everyone should have confidence in their country's stock market and government. The country will definitely not watch the stock market fall. Everything will be normal tomorrow!"

As the stock market plummeted, all kinds of voices began to emerge, like a hundred ghosts parading at night and demons dancing wildly.

You know, thanks to the island country's good economic situation in recent years, more than 90% of the islanders have the habit of buying stocks.

In a context where even a housewife who knows nothing can make money by buying any stock, those who have the conditions to trade stocks just stand by and watch.

Even people who claim to be rational will be stimulated by this kind of booming market.

No one can stand the feeling of making money without doing anything. Even if they know that this kind of market is abnormal, there will still be people who want to make a quick buck and leave. Anyway, I don’t think the person who takes over is me, so I will continue to enter the market.

Under such circumstances, the stock market of the island country was shaken, which meant that more than 90 percent of the residents of the island country were affected.

And this impact is not the indirect impact of the economic downturn, but the direct impact of everyone losing money!
According to incomplete statistics, more than ten Japanese people from all over the country committed suicide by lying on the railway tracks that night.

…………

After work, Kunihiko Yoshioka took the subway, then the bus, and finally walked three kilometers before dragging his exhausted body back home.

There is no other way. As a typical Tokyo office worker, facing the world's most expensive housing prices in Tokyo, he can only survive by commuting to another city, even if it takes him nearly four hours a day.

When he opened the door, the scene of his wife preparing dinner and waiting for him to come home was no longer there. Instead, he saw his distraught wife sitting in front of the TV, staring blankly at the expert's passionate speech.

"The island nation is the greatest country in the world. We must work together to overcome this difficulty!"

"Also, according to insider information, it has been confirmed that this stock market is just a technical adjustment. The decline is just a short-term accidental behavior. It will soon return to normal and reach a new peak."

As he spoke, the camera turned to show the expert starting to increase his holdings.

"There is no point in saying more. I have already taken practical actions to increase my holdings. I hope that people of insight can recognize the reality."

Looking at the pictures on TV, the wife's eyes gradually brightened up, and she immediately stood up and began to rummage through the drawers.

"Huizi, what are you doing?"

"I've worked hard all day, and you didn't cook, but you didn't even say hello to me when I, the head of the family, came home?"

"You stay at home doing nothing all day and rely on my salary to live. Is this the attitude you should have?"

Kunihiko Yoshioka finally couldn't help but get angry, and woke up Keiko who was looking for something.

"Private Marseille, I didn't realize it was already your off-duty time. I'm going to cook now. Please wait a moment."

Huizi reacted and bowed frantically, while silently hiding the passbook in her hand behind her back, trying to get away with it in this way.

However, the sharp-eyed Yoshioka Kunihiko still saw it. He immediately put down his briefcase, strode forward, snatched the passbook from Huizi's hand, and just glanced at it a few times before asking in a stern voice: "What the hell is going on!"

"We have nearly 10 million yen in our bank account, but now we have less than 2 million left!"

"I asked you to manage the money and you messed things up like this?"

According to official statistics, the island nation's average annual income in 1990 was over 4 million yen, and some white-collar workers earned even more.

This is the dividend of the times, or the so-called pig standing on the wind.

As I said, some people or some groups are able to get rich, not necessarily because they have strong abilities, but because they have caught up with a good era.
