Yang Chen came to Sumitomo Ichiro's house as promised

Chiyoda Ward

If Tokyo is the core of the island country, then Tokyo's Chiyoda District should be the core of the city.

The reason why Chiyoda Ward is regarded as the core of the city is very simple, that is, the island country’s royal family and the Imperial Palace are located here.

In addition, the island nation’s parliament building, the Supreme Court and most of the central provincial offices are located in Chiyoda Ward.

At the same time, many financial institutions and large consortium headquarters in the island country are also located in Chiyoda Ward, so Chiyoda Ward is a veritable political and economic dual center of Tokyo.

Because various advantages are concentrated here, the housing prices in Chiyoda District are extremely expensive, and the number of residences is very small, which is completely in short supply. The people who can live here are not ordinary people, but basically belong to the elite class.

As one of the major chaebol forces in the island country, the Sumitomo family's residence is not as luxurious as imagined. Like the wooden houses where ordinary islanders live, there is not much that stands out from the outside.

However, it is worth mentioning.

The residential area of ​​the Sumitomo family is much larger than the wooden houses in other places. The Imperial Palace occupies one-tenth of the entire Chiyoda District. The size of the residential area can directly reflect the status of a family.

"Yang Jun, welcome to my home."

"Mr. Sumitomo, you are very polite for keeping you waiting."

"Come on, Mr. Yang, let me introduce to you. This is Ichiro's father-in-law, Mitsui Gonbei."

"Hello Yang Jun, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Mitsui."

Yang Chen carefully looked at the current head of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Gonbei, who was slightly younger than Sumitomo Sawada.

Compared to the Sumitomo family, the Mitsui family, the former head of the plutocrats, undoubtedly attracted more attention from Yang Chen. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a family's industrial business can account for ten percent of the entire island country's economy.

One scale.

This is no longer just about doing business, the interest groups involved behind it cannot be ignored.

Even though the Mitsui family was suppressed by various forces after the end of World War II, the Mitsui family members can still stand here well while retaining some of their strength and becoming members of the new consortium.

This shows how strong the power behind the Mitsui family is.

When Yang Chen was seriously sizing up Mitsui Gonbei, Mitsui Gonbei was also sizing him up. Facing this young and outrageous Chinese richest man and the richest man in Asia, Mitsui Gonbei was also very curious in his heart.

The wealth that Yang Chen currently controls is not something Mitsui Gonbei particularly cares about. Like the Sumitomo family, Mitsui Gonbei and the family behind him are more concerned about Yang Chen's future potential and the speed of his growth.

Although the Mitsui family and the Sumitomo family control some of the forces they once controlled through their own unique methods, due to the suppression of various forces, they actually also intend to accumulate more connections externally.

After all, the island country’s market has been occupied and all the places that need to be divided up have been divided up and occupied by them.

Increasing external expansion is what the major financial groups in the island country need to consider most now.

Now Yang Chen not only has huge wealth, but also has an enviable network of connections.

Due to the special geopolitics of Xiangjiang, Yang Chen, the young richest man, has received special attention from senior officials in China and Britain.

This kind of attention and wooing is something that others cannot envy.

This gave Yang Chen a very favorable space for growth.

Although the inland areas lagged behind Western countries for various reasons in modern times, after the Korean War with the United States, Asian countries realized that the once sleeping Eastern dragon had begun to wake up and return to the masses.

sight.

The impact of China's thousands of years of civilization on neighboring countries cannot be eliminated overnight.

Especially now that Chinese people are spread all over the world. Although the status of the Chinese groups in various countries is high or low, it is undeniable that no country can ignore its own Chinese groups.

These Chinese groups can, to a certain extent, help Yang Chen's companies integrate into the local area better and faster.

In addition, the British royal family's attention to Yang Chen has also made Yang Chen more popular in the Commonwealth countries. Although Britain has gradually declined after World War II, its influence in various Commonwealth countries is also the same.

It cannot be eliminated overnight.

Look at how long the United States has been independent. Now its economic and military power has far surpassed that of Britain and has become the two superpowers alongside the Soviet Union. However, the upper class elites of the United States are still deeply influenced by Britain.

In terms of cultural export, the British are unmatched by all Western countries. This can be seen from the fact that after the decline of the United Kingdom, it was still recognized by various Commonwealth countries and did not break away from the Commonwealth system.

Yang Chen's acquired advantage is something that others don't have.

The reason why Li Chaoren in later generations was able to become the richest man in China and expand his family's business so much, with companies spread across dozens of countries and regions around the world, was not only due to his business acumen and the support of the British-owned HSBC Bank.

Li Chaoren's success is largely due to the fact that he has the best of both worlds. The high-level governments of China and Britain have wooed him, which has enabled him to thrive in the changing world.

But now, Yang Chen has replaced Li Chaoren and became the richest man in China one step ahead of him. He even directly surpassed the richest man in China and became the richest man in Asia.

In terms of wealth and influence, Yang Chen has greatly surpassed Li Chaoren at this period.

In this way, he naturally became the first and most ideal target for the top leaders of China and Britain to win over.

This kind of political advantage, coupled with Yang Chen's own wealth growth rate, naturally attracted the attention and attention of many people.

With the two big bosses Sumitomo Sawada and Mitsui Gonbei around, Sumitomo Ichiro naturally had no choice but to stand aside and helplessly watch his father and father-in-law pulling Yang Chen, an outsider, with such affectionate affection. It was Sumitomo Ichiro.

I can't help but feel envious and jealous.

As the current head of the Sumitomo family, Masahiro Naegen, and the popular son-in-law of the Mitsui family, the two old men's attitude towards Sumitomo Ichiro is basically the same, that is, they show off as a father and a father-in-law.

No matter how well Ichiro Sumitomo did, words of praise would never come out of the mouths of the two old men. This made Ichiro Sumitomo, who was already over forty years old, feel a little disgusted in his heart.

Even Sumitomo Ichiro couldn't say a few words to Yang Chen, let alone Sumitomo Masako as his daughter and granddaughter.

Although she couldn't talk to Yang Chen, Sumitomo Masako's eyes were always staring at Yang Chen's back.

The behavior of Sumitomo Ichiro and his daughter made our boss Yang always feel like a light on his back when he was chatting with the two big guys. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't sense the danger, he might have run away at this moment.
