Chapter 93 American Bullfrogs, Fishing for Crayfish in the River
"Sogga, I was too hasty!"
“Mr. Jiang, as long as you invest in Japan, we will fully cooperate and provide all necessary conveniences.”
Professor Livestock and senior executives from Mitsui Bank and Mitsubishi Bank made a solemn promise: "That's right, we can also help Mr. Jiang acquire land, river use rights, sea use rights, etc., and we guarantee that no one will cause trouble."
"That's right, Mr. Jiang, you can rest assured."
Jiang Feng nodded with great satisfaction.
"Yosh, that's great!"
Why did I invite them to dinner?
Isn't it just a way to trick them into helping you?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received two hundred billion US dollars from Wall Street financial groups. Adding the ten billion US dollars you have borrowed, we have a total of three trillion yen. We have plenty of funds."
"Therefore, I've decided to invest in other areas besides salmon farms, such as real estate. We Chinese people love real estate the most. What do you think of the prospects?"
Japan has not yet decided to devalue its currency.
Therefore, these people are unaware of this, and they are not optimistic about real estate, nor do they believe that real estate is a good business.
But their unspoken, unanimous answer was:
"Investing in real estate is definitely a good idea!"
“Our Mitsubishi Bank can help.”
“Our Mitsui Bank can also help.”
Tell the truth? Are you kidding me? The handling fees and intermediary fees involved are not small amounts. It can also handle the bank's collateral assets and reduce bad debts. Isn't that wonderful?
Big Yoshi!
Hahahaha~
Jiang Feng thanked him [without a doubt]: "Oh, this is wonderful, thank you, thank you so much!"
Do you have any low-priced properties available from your bank?
"If the price is right, I'll buy them all!"
"Tokyo area only."
"I don't want people from out of town!"
Japanese banks generally offer reliable collateral, as it has been carefully evaluated and its quality is generally guaranteed.
Houses auctioned off due to bad debts are very cheap.
This is a really great property!
The executives of both banks were overjoyed.
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, please rest assured that all the properties handled by our bank are spotless."
"The price is absolutely fantastic!"
"We have a wide variety of properties in the Tokyo area, including studios, shops, office buildings, and the school district properties that your country loves most—we have it all!"
Jiang Feng readily agreed without hesitation:
"Yes, I'll buy it if the price is right!"
Look at their bright smiles.
Jiang Feng sighed inwardly: Laugh! Laugh! A few months later, when housing prices have soared by half, you won't be laughing anymore.
(→_→)
These guys notified their home countries to compile a complete list of all the bank assets in the Tokyo area that needed to be handled and send it over.
1. School district housing is the top priority!
2. Apartment building
3. Office building
4. Shops
5.Residential
...
These were all readily available materials, and they were quickly prepared and sent over; the housing information was very complete.
The combined listings of the two banks—
A total of 1770 (seats/rooms/buildings/suites)
Total 43.35 square meters
It includes hundreds of residential buildings, thousands of apartments, more than a dozen office buildings, and a large number of shops.
Worth 3026 billion yen!
(That is, $30.26 billion)
Jiang Feng waved his hand with great domineering style:
"Okay, okay, I'll take everything except for those that are in bad locations, very old, or too remote."
The system confirmed that there are basically no problems.
That is to say, there are several defaulters.
They are also having a dispute with the bank.
Speculating on real estate is quick to yield results; prices can surge by nearly half in just a few months, then rise steadily and continuously.
Ultimately, it will double!
Jiang Feng established a real estate investment company, which was controlled by his investment fund in the Cayman Islands.
The acquired properties will initially be rented out, not sold.
We'll sell it later!
Of course, it can't just be left idle; it must be renovated and rented out to earn a little rent.
Rent in Japan isn't cheap!
It can be rented out.
It is easier to attract investors to buy.
Jiang Feng has commissioned two major banks to help him look for school district properties, with a particular focus on school district properties! He's looking to buy up large quantities of apartments near universities such as the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, and Tokyo Institute of Technology!
Japanese banks are more like financial companies, and their efficiency in having such business units is beyond question.
After all, there's money to be made!
╮(╯_╰)╭
Send Moriguchi Ichiro and others away.
Doug asked with a face full of curiosity, "Boss, do you really have a way to control the Emperor Salmon to swim back?"
It is well known that salmon migrate very accurately; there is no such thing as them swimming to the wrong place.
Was this really just luck?
The cowboys were also very confused.
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and frankly denied it, saying, "What kind of way is there to control salmon? I'm lying to them!"
"It's just luck~"
"Could it be that I planted the oil field in the fishing grounds? It's all just good luck, don't overthink it."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded.
That’s right!
Even if there is technology to control salmon.
What about the oil fields?
What about swine fever?
What about the flu?
How does the boss control these things?
It's just that I was very lucky~
(Confirmed)
After dinner
Jiang Feng's parents, grandparents, and other family members joined Xu Jiao, Xu Lin, and Su Meng in a fun-filled day of beachcombing, fishing, crabbing, and geoduck digging.
Grandpa Jiang Zhenshan caught a lot of Dungeness crabs.
They were all very large, generally weighing two or three kilograms.
"Wow, this crab is huge!"
"A Dungeness crab weighing at least two pounds would probably sell for five or six hundred yuan in China, right?" Grandma exclaimed in admiration.
"This geoduck... cough cough cough..." Li Shuhua spat awkwardly and handed it to her husband, Jiang Zhijun.
Jiang Feng's father understood immediately and sighed inwardly:
This needs to be replenished again!
As people reach middle age, they have no choice but to soak goji berries in their thermos. At his age, he has to eat whatever is considered a tonic.
I have no right to speak!
(T～T)
After eating seafood for several days in a row, they finally got tired of it and wanted to change things up and try some Chinese specialties.
Jiang Feng led them in a helicopter.
Join the cowboys on a wild boar hunt.
Let's cook a wild boar feast again!
I also caught a few rabbits.
Braised pork intestines, cold pig ears, cold pig heart, cold pig tail, twice-cooked pork, fried pork chops, roasted pig brain, roasted rabbit, cold rabbit, fresh pot rabbit, spicy rabbit head, etc.
Let everyone eat to their heart's content!
Jiang Feng's parents and grandparents all love food and enjoy seeking out delicious dishes; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to eat so many fish, shrimp, crabs, loaches, and eels when he was a child.

Now it's his turn to take his family to the river to catch crayfish, American bullfrogs, and Asian carp.
Jiang Feng bought a hundred shrimp traps in town, along with fresh pig liver and water liver, and went to the river with his parents to put them all in. They planned to collect them the next morning.
Catching American bullfrogs is even easier!
During this season, bullfrogs hide in thorny grass and aquatic buttercups; you can just keep scooping them up with a net.
"Is this...is that a frog? It's terrifying!"
Good heavens, can't one of them fit in one pot?
American bullfrogs typically weigh two to three pounds each, with the largest weighing over four pounds, comparable in weight to an old hen. Their legs are as thick as chicken legs, leading some to suspect they might bite.
Catching just a few is enough to feed the entire farm!
Frog meat, used to make "Frog Fish".
Frog legs, stir-fried frog legs.
It smells delicious!
(￣?￣)
Unfortunately, the farm didn't have Asian carp, so Jiang Feng took his parents, grandparents, and other family members to the supermarket.
We also went fishing in the river in the town.
Xu Jiao and the others asked, "Honey, I heard that the rivers in the United States have excessive levels of heavy metals, so Asian carp are not safe to eat?"
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then explained, somewhat embarrassed:
"Please, it's 2020, and people still believe that the US doesn't eat Asian carp because of excessive heavy metals?"
"How many years has the United States been deindustrializing?"
"Less than 1% of rivers are contaminated with heavy metals, and we don't eat from other places either! We just don't like to eat them."
"If Asian carp are contaminated with heavy metals, does that mean other fish aren't? Americans love to eat California bass, and king salmon also spawn in rivers."
"You don't think—"
"Is the water quality in China better than in the US?"
One is a rapidly developing country, and the other is a country that has long been deindustrialized; one is a country with 14 billion people, and the other is a developed country with 300 to 400 million people.
Who do you think is more polluting?
There's nothing we can do about it; with such a large population in China, doubling the pollution is inevitable and a natural consequence.
In reality, industrial areas in the United States are highly concentrated, and the pollution is mainly concentrated in industrial areas like Detroit.
The vast majority of regions do not have heavy factories.
Agricultural areas are relatively free of pollution for a simple reason: the population is very small. Often, the area of a county is smaller than the population of a small town in China. Fewer people mean less pollution.
Of course, it is also related to the improvement of the law.
Moreover, environmental protection organizations are awesome!
Jiang Feng asked jokingly, "You don't believe that Japan's negative interest rates are really negative interest rates, do you?"
