Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

The Wadu City Hall Square was packed with people.

In just two hours, the news that Sifang Real Estate was going to donate 1,000 million Miyuan spread throughout the Japanese capital.

It is such a grand occasion that everyone wants to come and see it. Many people will never know what 1 yuan looks like in their entire life.

Look at the mountain made up of 1000 million yuan, enough to brag about for a lifetime!

All public officials in Wodu were mobilized to maintain order in the square.

There were so many people coming, and many of them were well-known figures, including politicians, celebrities, artists, and garrison generals.

Even monks came to join in the fun.

Zhao Zhi changed into a full red suit. He was like a burning flame, attracting everyone's attention.

Old Zhao is a person who likes to be in the spotlight. He is like a fish in water in this kind of occasion. He moves among the crowd, shakes hands with everyone and speaks inspiring words.

This guy was talking nonsense, and he hinted that Sifang Real Estate has investments all over the world.

Invested in non-ferrous metals at the Fog City Metal Exchange.

Invested in Middle Eastern oil.

Invested in iron ore in Brazil.

The scale of assets held by Sifang Real Estate is as high as one or two billion.

Anyway, bragging is not taxable.

With this 1,000 million yuan donation as a foundation, people rarely doubted his bragging.

In fact, this is the result of inertial thinking: if they can donate 1000 million, then the asset scale of Sifang Real Estate must be at least several hundred million!

Zhao Zhi was not afraid of suspicion at all. Even if the Japanese sent people to verify, there would be no results in a short time.

This is not the Internet age. To check a company's shareholder information, there are layers of checkpoints, and many companies keep their shareholder structure strictly confidential.

Even if his true identity was exposed, Zhao Zhi was not afraid.

According to Hu Zhenhua's plan, the layout can be completed in just one or two months. By then, a large amount of real money will flow into the Japanese capital, and it will be useless for anyone to doubt it.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ichiro Miyamoto walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone, and said passionately,

"Good evening, citizens of Wadu. I'm Governor Ichiro Miyamoto! I have great news to share with you. Yesterday, Wadu received a 5,000 million US dollar investment from Nichiki Trading. Today, we've received two more investments. The first is from Mr. Zhao Zhi's Sifang Real Estate, totaling 1 million US dollars. The second is from Mr. Yu Bing's Kangtai Foods, with an investment of 2 million US dollars. All three companies are US-funded! What does this mean? It means that the friendship between Japan and the United States has entered a new stage! It means that Wadu is beginning to gain favor with Western capital! It means that Japan's recovery is just around the corner! The Japanese people will soon see the light of day."

The square erupted in thunderous cheers!

The screams of ghosts came one after another!

After five minutes, Miyamoto Ichiro picked up the microphone and continued to shout,

"Good days are just around the corner. I hope everyone will remain calm and continue to work hard and live happily. Suffering is only temporary!" Miyamoto Ichiro covered his chest with his hands, his face full of affection.

"I, Governor Miyamoto Ichiro, will continue to work hard to attract more foreign investment to Wato. This is my responsibility! Here, I solemnly promise every citizen that within two years, every one of you will have a job."

Miyamoto Ichiro's voice is friendly yet majestic.

"At the same time, I also want to make a request to all citizens: To create a favorable environment for investors, every citizen must take responsibility. I ask you to be polite and welcoming, and to keep your neighborhoods clean. If foreign investors need help, I hope every citizen will provide assistance to the best of their ability. Everyone should cultivate a sense of ownership, because Wo is home to each and every one of us!"

Miyamoto Ichiro turned around, faced Zhao Zhi, and made a gesture of invitation. His voice suddenly became high-pitched.

"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Chairman Zhao Zhi of Sifang Real Estate and Mr. Yu Bing of Kangtai Foods!"

Amid the cheers of thousands of people, Zhao Zhi ran towards the platform, waving to the citizens as he ran.

Yu Bing was much more low-key. He smiled and walked at his own pace, neither hurried nor slow. He also waved to the citizens, but not as flamboyantly as Zhao Zhi.

After shaking hands with the two men, Ichiro Miyamoto said loudly,

"Mr. Zhao Zhi and Mr. Yu Bing, moved by the difficult lives of the people of Wodu, generously donated 1,000 million and 50 yuan respectively. Let us express our gratitude to them with warm applause. Thank you!"

Deafening cheers rang out again.

Everyone quieted down when they saw Zhao Zhi take the microphone.

Zhao Zhi was very satisfied with this grand scene that attracted everyone's attention. He felt like he was looking down on the world.

At this moment, Lao Zhao felt like an emperor.

Yu Bing coughed lightly, reminding him to be humble.

This time, Zhao Yige accepted it humbly. He picked up the microphone and said loudly,

"The 1000 million yuan donation is just a drop in the bucket. I don't want to elaborate!"

Xie Zhi grabbed the microphone and started translating incoherently.

"Today, I want to share with you Sifang Real Estate's development plan in Wodu! Why did we have this plan? It all started with my inspection this afternoon. During the inspection, I learned about the current situation of the people in Wodu, and it made me deeply saddened!"

After Xie Zhi finished translating, Zhao Zhi continued,

"The first step in my plan is to create a garden-style office area. This has two benefits. First, it will help attract investment to Wadu! The war has been over for four years, and as far as I know, many well-known companies have come to inspect during this period. Why didn't they stay?"

Zhao Zhi looked around and said loudly,

"Because they think this place is a ruin and the initial investment cost is too high! For Western businessmen, they not only want to make money, but also want to enjoy life! And my garden-style office area can meet their needs! It's like planting a phoenix tree and attracting a golden phoenix!"

Zhao Zhi cleared his throat.

"The second benefit of the office district is that large-scale construction projects can create a number of jobs and solve the problem of food and clothing for some people. With the stimulation of real estate investment, it can also drive many factories to resume production, slowly restoring the economic blood-making capacity!"

"The second step of my plan is to build a number of commercial centers and residential buildings to create more jobs and boost trade. This process may last one to two years."

"After the second step is completed, I plan to cooperate with commercial banks to provide low-interest loans and low-rent housing so that the people of Wadu can live in clean and bright houses."

"According to our company's economists, once this 2 million yuan investment is completed, it will generate approximately 20 billion yuan in GDP for Wadu, an average of 4 million yuan per year! Combined with investments from other friendly companies, I believe Wadu will soon regain its status as an international metropolis!"

"Thank you for listening to my explanation, thank you!"

Warm applause once again filled the square.

Anthony stood in the audience, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly.

Riqi Commercial was the first to invest. Not only did it not donate a penny, it also asked for a large amount of free land.

When Sifang Real Estate arrived, it donated money and gave a speech, attracting a lot of attention and applause.

Comparing one person to another will lead to death!

Compare shopping, you have to throw it away!

Between Riqi Trading and Sifang Real Estate, who has a higher realm and who truly cares about the people of Wodu? The winner is clear!

Anthony has heard people comparing the two companies!

If it were any other company, Anthony could tolerate it, since we're competitors after all. But Sifang Real Estate is part of his group, and you're making things difficult for us!

When Anthony saw the man who came to withdraw the money came back, he immediately climbed onto the platform.

Looking at the shining cash box, how could Ichiro Miyamoto not see what Anthony was going to do? He was trying to imitate someone else!

Anthony greeted everyone one by one, took the microphone, and said loudly,

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. I'm Anthony, Vice President of Riqi Trading. I just listened to what Mr. Zhao Zhi said, and I agree deeply. Sifang Real Estate's main business is real estate, while Riqi Trading's main business is manufacturing. If there's anything similar between the two, it's that both can drive a large number of jobs! In the past day and a half, we've hired over 5 employees, but this is far from enough! According to Riqi Trading's plan, we need to hire at least employees. Currently, our president, Mr. Atlan, is investigating and investing in various parts of Japan. Riqi Trading's vision is to drive the economic recovery of the entire country!"

The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer. Our Riqi Trading Company is focusing on the entire Japan, while Sifang Real Estate only operates in the Japanese capital!

Whose vision is bigger?

Anthony changed the subject and said with a smile,

"Actually, I've known Mr. Zhao Zhi and Mr. Yu Bing for a long time, and I invited them to Wodu! I believe that with the participation of Sifang Real Estate and Kangtai Foods, the lives of the people of Wodu will get better and better!"

He said this to those who blamed Riqi Trading, telling them: Stop talking nonsense, without me, it would be impossible for Wodu to receive such large donations.

After Anthony and Zhao Zhiyubing hugged each other, he continued,

"Riqi Commercial's investment in Wadu is 5000 million. We are also donating one twentieth of it. It's a small token of our appreciation!"

Anthony joked,

"Chairman Zhao, when it comes to wealth and power, I'm afraid no one can compare to your Sifang Real Estate!"

"No, no! It's just a small scene!"

Anthony's words were instructed by Hu Zhenhua, with the purpose of raising the value of Sifang Real Estate.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.

Even if Sifang Real Estate has no money, if everyone thinks it has money.

Then, Sifang Real Estate has money!

While a few people were joking, 1300 million yuan in cash had been neatly stacked.

What attracts the most attention is, of course, the background wall made of money.

Next, Japanese and American officials took the stage to deliver speeches of encouragement and look forward to the future.

The impassioned speech resounded throughout the Metropolitan Hall Square.

This is coordinated with the radio station's simultaneous radio broadcast.

After all the heavyweights finished their speeches, popular artists from Wodu gave a half-hour performance to express their gratitude to the three companies for their donations!

After tossing and turning until 11 o'clock, Zhao Zhi dragged his exhausted body and lay in the car, and asked weakly,

"Peanut, have you made any arrangements?"

Yu Bing immediately became excited because Lao Zhao said that he would help him arrange a female star to learn Japanese!

Kangtai Foods wants to expand its market in Japan. I, Lao Yu, am also a person who desires progress, so I must learn Japanese as soon as possible!

Zhao Zhi saw that Huasheng was a little dazed, slapped him on the head and shouted,

"You bastard, you didn't plan anything, did you?"

Peanut rubbed the back of his head, looking confused.

That's not right. You, Old Zhao, clearly said that you arranged the stars for Boss Yu. How come you are dragging me into this?

Could it be that I didn’t understand the leader’s hint?

That's not right. This is my first time in Japan. How can I arrange a female star for you? That's nonsense!

Peanut said stubbornly,

"Miyamoto Ichiro's assistant, Yokota, said he's arranged a room at the Imperial Hotel. I figured it would be a good idea to just go with the host's wishes, and it would save me a little money. Besides, you've been busy all day and must be very tired..."

Before Huasheng could finish, Zhao Zhi slapped him twice on the head.

"Tired! Tired!"

Zhao Zhi leaned against the leather seat and said angrily,

"Peanut, are you my assistant or Miyamoto's assistant? You can't do your job well, but you keep making excuses! Let's go to the Sakura Hall!"

Peanut looked at Yu Bing, wanting to ask him for help and say a few words, but the latter turned his head and looked away.

Peanut was helpless and said angrily,

"How many eyes are watching us? You're a celebrity now, going to a brothel so late at night will have a bad influence!"

“￥%……!”

Peanut saw that Zhao Zhi was going to hit him again, so he quickly changed his words.

"Boss, I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhao Zhi then showed a look of satisfaction, but he scolded,

"Peanut, don't be ridiculous. What's the point of this brothel? The Sakura Hall is a temple of art. We're going there to experience the local culture, spend some money, and boost the local economy!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

A few minutes later, a car broke away from the convoy and disappeared into the night!
