"But what to eat?" Saori asked curiously.
"It's the best crab dish," Shinomiya Mikoto responded with a smile.
The three of them quickly took a taxi to Akasaka in the minato area, which is the bustling area in the north. It was originally a residential area for Edo samurai, but now it is full of high-rise buildings, hotels and high-end restaurants, and it is also an entertainment street at night.
Mikoto Shinomiya led the two people into a store without any signs, and then a clerk came to greet them.
After checking the reservation record, the clerk led them into a private room. After the three of them sat down, they began to look around.
"I've never heard of this kind of store, and their name is actually Crab," Saori was very surprised.
Shinomiya Mikoto smiled and explained: "The people who come to this store are basically very rich or powerful people, so it's normal for ordinary people not to know."
"It must be very expensive here, why don't we go eat somewhere else and keep the money for Mikoto-san," Saori said worriedly.
"It's okay, it won't take much," Shinomiya Mikoto comforted.
In fact, this meal really made her feel distressed, but the reason she came was to express her gratitude and to broaden Song Gangdong's horizons.
After having several million yen, she felt more confident, but she would not spend it recklessly because she wanted to use the money as capital.
She had originally planned to save the initial capital while in college, but she didn't expect to get this unexpected money, which saved her a lot of time.
Songgang Dongye smiled and said, "Let's eat as much as we can today. After all, she is a wealthy woman now. This meal won't make her poor, and we can also gain some knowledge."
"Then I won't be polite." Saori felt relieved and became impatient.
After a while, the waiter came in with a chef and three Alaskan king crabs, which were still moving and absolutely fresh.
They were bigger than ordinary pot lids and looked quite scary, but were quickly dealt with by the chef.
It turns out that this restaurant slaughters the animals on the spot in front of the customers. Fortunately, the three of them did not feel disgusted by this scene but instead watched it with great interest.
In a store like this in Neon, there must be sashimi. Originally, Songgang Dong was quite averse to eating sashimi raw, but unfortunately, he could not refuse it, as it would cause dissatisfaction among the store owners.
So he had to eat it with gritted teeth. Fortunately, it tasted very sweet and fresh, and there was almost no fishy smell, which made him feel better. On the contrary, the two girls enjoyed it very much.
Fortunately, there was only one dish of sashimi, and the rest were charcoal-grilled or steamed, and then he began to enjoy it. Although he had the honor of eating king crab in his previous life, it had been frozen, and compared to this it was simply not a dish.
"It's worthy of being the best crab restaurant in Tokyo," Saori exclaimed with satisfaction.
Shinomiya Mikoto smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, but this may be the last time I eat here. I may not have the chance to come again in the future."
“I guess so too, it’s too expensive here and the appointment times are too long” Saori shook her head.
Songgang Dong smiled but didn't say anything. In fact, one doesn't have to come here to eat crabs. As long as one has money, one can get them. Anyway, with his skills, it is easy for him to handle crabs.
Chapter 60: Enemy in the Store
The three king crabs made the three of them very full. Although the crabs themselves had little meat, they were really too big. Fortunately, the three of them had big appetites.
"I'm going to the bathroom," Shinomiya Mikoto stood up.
Saori quickly got up and said, "I'll go too."
Then the two girls went out together. Songgang Dong drank Pu'er ripe tea. In fact, the best way to eat crabs is to drink rice wine, but unfortunately the store owner definitely does not allow it.
Green tea is absolutely not allowed to be drunk. Don’t ask him how he knew that. He once stayed in the hospital for two days because of this.
"House prices have started to plummet, and banks have started to go bankrupt. It seems that I have to pay attention to high-quality industries recently." After they left, he muttered to himself as he thought about this morning's newspaper.
1991 was definitely the beginning of the nightmare for Japanese people. House prices plummeted by 65% that year, and a large number of multi-millionaires went bankrupt. It can be said that at this time, queuing on the rooftop was more than just a joke.
However, although this is a crisis for others, it is more of an opportunity to make a fortune for him, that is, he can buy at the bottom. Although the housing prices in Neon will not be very high in the future, the future of central Tokyo is still very promising.
In fact, working in real estate in Japan is not as profitable as buying stocks, but as a Chinese, he has a special obsession with becoming a landlord.
So you definitely have to invest some money, but not much, just a building will be enough. If it’s based on the money you won before and earned later, it will definitely not be enough. But it will be different later.
By then, many assets will be sold at bargain prices. Of course, this won’t work if you choose the wrong timing and location. But this is not a problem for Songgang. Although you only know a rough idea, it is enough.
Those places that are already very famous will definitely not be his choice. He only needs to choose those places that cannot demonstrate their value now.
Just as he was thinking about it, when Shinomiya Mikoto and Saori came out of the bathroom and were about to go back, Shinomiya stopped in front of a box door.
"What's wrong with Miss Mikoto?" Saori asked puzzledly.
Shinomiya forced a smile and responded, "Nothing, I was mistaken."
Then she continued to walk back, but she was very uneasy in her heart, because the voice of the person in the private room just now was very familiar to her. It was her uncle Shinomiya Ryo.
In fact, although he is my uncle, there is no blood relationship between us because he married into the Shinomiya family and changed his name to Shinomiya Ryo.
The reason why Shinomiya Mikoto's family went bankrupt had a lot to do with him. It shouldn't have fallen so easily after her father's death, but it became like this because of this guy stabbing her in the back.
And later when she wanted to borrow money to treat her mother's illness, it was this guy who had bad intentions towards her, which eventually led her to sign an agreement with the Matsuoka family, so she hated Shinomiya Ryo very much.
So hearing this voice again reminded her of the bad things that happened some time ago, causing her to feel very bad.
Just after she walked past the room, a foreigner entered and Shigong Liang respectfully invited him to take a seat.
"Mr. Sigong, have you found that thing?" the foreigner asked with a serious expression.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Semir. I've searched the entire Shimiya family but still can't find it, so please give me some more time," Shimiya Ryo said with some sweat on his forehead.
Semir warned with sharp eyes: "Your position is given by the company, you can take it back at any time."
"Yes, yes, I will do it as soon as possible," Shigong Liang nodded hurriedly.
"Time waits for no one. You have to take it out by next month at the latest," said Semir coldly.
At this time, Shigong Liang could only agree, and then treated the other party to eat crabs. Fortunately, the delicious food temporarily shut the other party's mouth.
On the other side, after the two girls came back and rested for a while, the three of them paid the bill and left. The meal cost a total of 160,000 yen.
That is to say, a king crab costs more than 50,000 yen, which was considered very luxurious at that time. You have to know that the yen was still relatively valuable at that time.
"Hiss, this is probably the most expensive meal I've ever had in my life." Although Saori knew it was expensive, she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
"It's actually acceptable." Song Gangdong thought about the prices in future generations and felt that the current prices are relatively cheap.
Shinomiya Mikoto suppressed what happened just now and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, let's go to Sister Yumi's shop and have a seat?"
"Okay!" Saori agreed very much.
She had only heard of it but had never been there, but no girl could resist the temptation of dessert. Although she was already very full, it would be no problem if it was dessert. After all, girls have two stomachs.
Since the girls had already decided that he would obey, they took a taxi again and headed towards Yumi Nagasawa's store.
"Miss!" Yumi Nagasawa was very surprised when she saw her.
"Yumi-sister" Shinomiya Mikoto was in a better mood at this time.
"Waiter, please take your order."
"There are too many people here now. Miss, please go inside first," Yumi Nagasawa said helplessly when she heard the customer calling her.
Shinomiya Mikoto quickly waved her hand: "Go and do your work first, don't worry about us."
Then the maid Nagasawa went to do her work, and the three of them found a seat inside and sat down. It should be because it was the weekend, so there were a lot of people in the store and they were all girls.
And because there were only two people in the store, they were busy like a top, and Shinomiya couldn't stand this situation anymore.
"Let me help with the cashier," she walked over with her crutches.
Saori then caught up and said, "I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll do it as an after-dinner exercise."
Although Yumi Nagasawa wanted to refuse, she accepted it because the two insisted. Of course, Matsuoka Dong did not move, as there were enough people now anyway.
But after a while he was temporarily driven out by Yumi Nagasawa because there was not enough space, so she was not polite.
"You're so rude." Song Gangdong was speechless after coming out.
But since I was out, I just walked around and after a while I saw a big pachinko shop. I had heard of this thing before but this was the first time I saw it, so I went in with great interest.
Pachinko is very famous in Japan. Even though it was later regulated, it still grew very rapidly. It can be said to be an industry that is sure to make money.
Actually, Song Gangdong really wanted to make some quick money from this, but unfortunately, all those who run this business have a social organization background, and the social organizations are quite powerful nowadays, so it is impossible for him to do so.
As soon as he entered the door, he was overwhelmed by all kinds of noisy sounds, and then he saw gamblers sitting in front of rows of machines, already immersed in the gamblers' passion.
"It's worthy of being something that has made more than 320 million people addicted. It's really scary," Song Gangdong shook his head and sighed. You have to know that the total population of Japan is only more than million.
Chapter 777: Explosion
After looking around, Songgang Donghuan went to the exchange window to exchange 100 yen for small steel balls. Here, 100 balls cost yen, while the merchants bought them for balls at yen.
From this you can see how much money Pachinko takes, but even so, countless people still flock to it. The reason, of course, is that even so, some people can make hundreds of thousands of yen overnight.
But in fact, this is only a very small number. Most people lose so much money overnight, but gamblers often look to the winners.
Pachinko is definitely a cancer, but it has nothing to do with him. He just comes here to kill time and satisfy his curiosity.
There were a lot of machines in the store, but there were also a lot of people. I searched for a while before I found a relatively quiet place in the corner, and then I sat down.
I have to say that a lot of thought has been put into the details to make customers stay longer. For example, the chair is very comfortable. There are no clocks in the entire store, and the windows around are completely covered by thick curtains.
All of these make people unable to feel the passage of time. Even if you are hungry, there are simple foods here. If you indulge in them, you may not come to your senses until you have lost all your money.
The machine was easy to operate and he quickly figured out the rules. However, due to bad luck, he lost more than he won. But the 10,000 yen worth of steel balls was enough for him to play for an hour.
"The probability of this machine is set so low, no wonder no one comes," Song Gangdong complained as he looked at the few remaining steel balls.
But he looked at his watch and it was almost time so he didn't plan to change. He didn't come here to win money. He thought that if he lost, he could go back to the store. By then, the peak period would have passed.
Then he sped up, but sometimes it was very magical, the less you paid attention, the more likely it was that an accident would happen. Just when he put the last small steel ball in and pressed the switch to leave...
"Jackpot, Jackpot, BANG! BANG! BANG!"
The sound of fireworks came from the machine, which surprised Songgang Dong who had already stood up. He didn't expect that he would win the super prize in the end.
I saw three sevens next to each other, which was the biggest prize, and then the machine started to spray out small steel balls. Fortunately, there was something there to catch them.
"Damn, this kid is so lucky!"
"Isn't that machine the one that just eats and doesn't spit out anything? I actually won a prize with it!"
"Yes, that machine ate a lot of my steel balls."
“I ate a lot of it.”
"That kid must have made a fortune, how much money must be in there!"
In fact, the machine that Songgang Dong played is considered to be quite a legend in this store. I don’t know why this machine has never won a big prize since it was placed here.
