After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 22. The World's No. 22 Tea Ceremony Conference
Investment, as the name suggests, is the process of converting money into capital, tending to generate sustained and stable returns.

It is a great test of personal vision and judgment.

However, facing the current economic downturn, although the investment industry will not collapse like the bubble economy, nine out of ten investments will still result in losses, not to mention that the investment quota in the first phase of the reward is actually not much.

One hundred million yen.

It does sound intimidating.

But it can only be converted into 5 million Huayuan.

Land is very expensive in Tokyo. If one really wants to invest in a larger joint-stock company, this amount of money will not be looked down upon by others, so one can only act as an angel investor similar to the start-up capital. Moreover, when the reward for this investment amount first appeared, Harano Tsukasa thought of combining it with Miss Money's plan.

[Investment Stage Card: Limited to commercial investment, and embodied in the company's public account. If misappropriated privately, it cannot be used by the subject itself through any channel]

[First phase quota: 1 million yen]

[Please explore the stage completion and how to issue the next stage of investment quota by yourself]

A reddish light curtain came into view.

Yuanye Si rubbed his temples, relaxed his mind and gradually let the light curtain fade away. He walked to the desk in the bedroom and sat down, then took out a pen and paper to write and draw.

“Investment is not the purpose of spending this money.”

“This money should be used to fulfill wishes.”

“It’s just that it’s more difficult to limit the scope to a smaller amount that can be satisfied while trying not to lose money.”

It’s better not to lose money.

Even making money.

After all, this achievement reward is clearly marked as a phased reward card. How to obtain the investment amount for the next phase depends entirely on your own figuring out. It is easy to tell that the second phase will definitely give more money.

This eliminates the idea of Yuanye Si casually waving money to open a shop for the prostitutes to satisfy their wishes.

After all, for many experienced gold diggers, getting ashore from the sea is an opportunity they have been longing for. This is why so many young women open milk tea shops, nail salons or small beauty salons, and they can successfully cleanse their money by accumulating capital for a few years.

Of course, not all of them are like this.

However, for Yuanye Si, apart from this group, he also has better options.

For example, female college students.

That’s the group he anchors to.

This brings us to Japan's education system, which has been rising since the Meiji Restoration. Because Japanese students from elementary school to university receive a complete education system, even the most untalented people can be trained to become normal people with independent abilities.

Physical education classes here are really taken, and the importance attached to them is almost as high as that of cultural education.

Comprehensive development from the small curriculum system.

Not to mention that high school students can work and earn money after they turn fifteen. This is not because their families are financially constrained, but most students do it to develop their abilities.

Those who are willing to start a business are basically those who have a little bit of brains and must have made a rigorous process book.

Not to mention how high the success rate is.

At least you won’t lose nine out of ten times.

The original body was taking too big a step, which is another matter. One glance at it shows that it will be difficult to succeed.

Moreover, in the atmosphere where the status of women in the Japanese workplace is extremely low, female college students neither choose to get married and raise children, nor choose to enter the company and become an ordinary office worker, which proves that they definitely have ambitions.

Being ambitious means being easy to control.

The better the control, the less trouble.

If it gets out of control, you can stop the loss in time.

As for why Harano Tsukasa doesn't think a woman as obviously ambitious as Kurosaki Oritsuki is easy to control?
Let’s not talk about this anymore.

With her thirty years of life experience and master-level tea ceremony skills, she is not easy to fool. Instead of competing with her in wits and courage, it is better to find a few female college students who are not so cunning to invest.

Everything is excessive or insufficient.

It’s better to pick soft persimmons.

Why endure the hardship when you can push forward smoothly?
What's more, judging from the brand-name bag that Kurosaki Orizuki was carrying yesterday and the clothes that looked obviously expensive, 100 million yen might not really impress her.

Maybe adding another zero can crush it.

To be able to be best friends with Suzumiya Saka, one must either have similar qualities to hers, or slightly higher or lower. In any case, one cannot be an ordinary office worker.

Moreover, Kurosaki Oritsuki is a doctor, a well-known high-paying profession in Japan. If he passes the professional medical qualification certificate, his annual salary can easily exceed 15 million yen, so he is not short of money at all.

It was so difficult to get started, and Yuanye Si had completely lost the original intention of formulating the gold-digging lady plan.

But finding the right candidate is a difficult task.

She has the ambition to start a business, but also has the attributes of a bad girl who worships money or is a gold digger. It is not easy to find a group and select a group of people who are most suitable for her. It made him think for a long time.

After searching for information on his mobile phone for half an hour and looking at the Tokyo map for more than ten minutes, he finally set his sights on a place in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo's cultural and educational mecca.

"Ochanomizu..."

Yuanye Si murmured in a low voice.

At the same time, his eyes became brighter.

Ochanomizu is famous for its Ochanomizu Station, which is listed as a holy place for pilgrimage, and religious facilities such as Yushima Shrine. It is also the area with the highest density of schools in Bunkyo-ku, a holy place of culture and education.

For example, Meiji University and Juntendo University.

But the moment he saw this place, Harano Tsukasa thought of Ochanomizu University.

As a leading national comprehensive women's university in Japan, even though there are rumors that it is the back garden of the University of Tokyo, the excellence of the school cannot be denied.

At least there are enough female college students.

And a bad reputation is exactly what he wants, isn't it?
You know, no matter where you are, as long as there are too many women, even a calm place will cause waves. And in Ochanomizu University, which is rumored to be home to many tea masters and gold diggers, finding a good girl may not be as difficult as the rumors on the Internet, but finding a bad girl is a hassle.

Judging from the number of well-dressed and literary female college students he had seen on social forums, Yuanye Si even suspected that the number of tea masters in this school was enough to host the world's best tea ceremony conference.

Even if it's not that extreme.

At least there will be no shortage of backup green tea.

This is simply his dream school!

Once the target group is determined, the future path will undoubtedly become much clearer, just like the clouds are clearing away.

Yuanye Si never fights an unprepared battle. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Losing is not terrible. What is terrible is that there is no advance planning and no summary afterwards, and still falls in the same place several times. Especially in interpersonal communication, sometimes just a small detail can easily lead to failure.

For example, how much money should be spent and when should it be spent? Or how to sacrifice one's innocence when necessary, and how to make a bad girl feel obedient.

Write down everything. There may be omissions or problems.

But if you don't plan with pen and paper, and just rely on your brain to improvise, the omissions will only increase.

This is not a strategy for green tea.

This is a career!
Yuanye Si wrote and drew for a long time. The sparrows on the telephone poles had flown away, the cloudless sky became brighter, and the temperature gradually rose.

He didn't know how much time had passed before the cell phone next to him rang, interrupting his thoughts.

After tapping the pen twice and looking at the entire page he had written, Yuanye Si let out a breath and closed the pen cap. He then picked up the phone that was still ringing and took a look at it, then his face turned surprised.

Memories churned in my mind, and everything about this person quickly emerged in my mind, and then I answered the call.

"Yuanye, why did it take you so long to answer?"

“I was just writing something.”

"I almost forgot that today is Monday. Are you working at the district office? If you are busy now, why don't you call me later?"

"No, I quit."

"Resign?" The man on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and said happily, "Great! I said that job wasn't that good! I have to endure the humiliation and I don't earn much salary. I might as well try to apply for a job at a large company!"

The person who called him was Toshio Komatsubara, who was Harano Tsukasa's roommate when he was at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.

I have the impression that he is small and thin, with dyed yellow hair. He actually looks okay, but I don't know if it's because he has watched too many action movies, but he looks a bit vulgar no matter how you look at him. His temperament is also greasy. His hobby is to look at girls with the eyes of a dung beetle staring at shit. When he sees a pretty girl, he wishes he could peel off his eyes and stick them on her chest and thighs.

Less than three days after school started, he had already added the contact information of all the girls in the department, greeted them morning and night warmly, and confessed his love to four or five girls at the same time.

Logically speaking, Komatsubara Shun's behavior should have been posted on the campus wall, making him a rat that everyone should shout and beat.

But in fact, although this guy had a reputation of stinking like a toilet that hadn't been cleaned for more than ten years just a few days after entering college, he changed more than a dozen girlfriends in four years of college, and he had sex with almost all of them, tall, short, fat and thin.

The reason is also very simple.

Because he has money.

As a native of Tokyo, Shun Komatsubara has been in the second-hand shop business since his grandfather's generation. His father's generation took advantage of the bursting of the bubble economy, and he made a fortune while others were lining up to go to the rooftop and take a leap of faith with tears in their eyes.

As we all know, when the economy is in a downturn, the lipstick economy will begin to rise, and second-hand stores will also rise accordingly.

A second-hand store is actually a second-hand trading store.

The second-hand trading market may seem insignificant, but after the bubble economy was burst and people were facing financial difficulties, second-hand items with extremely high cost-effectiveness came into the sight of many people. It is this mentality of finding a bargain that makes the second-hand trading market so popular.

As far as Harano Tsukasa knows, Komatsubara Shun has not had a job since graduation and has gloriously become a NEET, whose daily tasks are to eat, drink and have fun.

But they do have the capital.

And it's nice to him too.

In Harano Tsukasa's memory, he once borrowed 2 million yen from Komatsubara Shun when he started his business.

Of course, the original body was returned later.

After all, in this era, in a sense, money is more important than feelings among ordinary friends, and friends who are willing to lend money are a rare species.

Harano Tsukasa had a good impression of Komatsubara Shun, and his thoughts quickly returned. After thinking for a while, he responded: "Anyway, I probably won't be looking for a job recently. I plan to take a break for a while."

"That's even better! I called you to ask you to come out and play. How about it? Do you want to attend the couple party I mentioned to you last time?" Xiaosong on the microphone smiled and asked mysteriously.

Hearing him suddenly mention the party, Yuanye Si's heart moved, and then asked: "When will it be held?"

This was not the first time that Komatsubara Shun had called him.

Less than a week after he came into this world, Shun Komatsubara called him and invited him to attend a party called Couple.

However, since he had just arrived, he had not yet sorted out his interpersonal relationships. In addition, the unfamiliarity with his colleagues made Yuan Ye Si a little uncomfortable, so he declined the offer at that time.

But now...

Yuanye Si felt that he could participate.

couple party.

It's actually a singles dating party.

This kind of party is usually alcohol-based, with an equal number of men and women getting together to play drinking games such as the King's Game, which is suitable for relaxing.

However, judging from the current situation, it is not clear whether this kind of tipsy party is actually tipsy or not. But judging from the frequency with which Komatsuhara Shun, a guy who controls the big head with a small head, attends the party several times a month, it is probably not just about relaxing the mind, but also relaxing the body.

Even if Harano Si used his toes to guess, the women who attended such occasions would not be good people.

Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Even if not.

Isn’t this also a way to enjoy life?

The purpose of making money is not to look at a bunch of cold numbers in your bank card, but to use these numbers to explore things that interest you, go to places you have never been to, and experience happiness you have never dared to imagine.

"There will be one in the next two days." Komatsubara Shun didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was checking which day there would be an event.

"These two days? Aren't you working?"

Yuanye Si asked in surprise.

Komatsubara Shun sighed and said in a somewhat speechless tone: "People who play this are not ordinary office workers, they are mostly college students or NEETs."

"I almost forgot..."

“White-collar jobs are usually held on weekends.”

"I don't care about that."

"That's fine. I'll let you know when there's an event. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's a good time for us to have a drink..."

The two chatted for a while, mostly gossip about former college classmates, and it was Komatsubara Shun who spoke and Harano Tsukasa who listened. After all, besides being a sex-hungry ghost, the former was also a famous gossip king in Tokyo Agricultural and Industrial College, the gossiper among gossipers.

But in the end, the topic came back to women. One moment he was beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying it was a pity for this, and the next moment he was talking about that with a lewd smile, just like a villain in anime.

After hanging up the phone, Yuanye Si moved the phone away from his left ear. Finally, he didn't have to listen to this guy's nagging anymore.

But I just hung up the phone.

Then another call came in.

The reason for this situation is that the line between Harano Tsukasa and Komatsubara Shun was busy for so long that the other call could not be answered.

But when Harano Tsukasa thought it was a sales call or maybe it was Suzumiya Saka calling, the contact name displayed on the phone screen made Harano Tsukasa stunned for a moment, but then he felt it was very normal.

"Aunt Qingshui..."
