Chapter 587

It has to be said that this kind of battle is easy to get addicted to, and the feeling of being on top of thousands of people is really difficult to express in words.

This is one of the reasons why many people want to be big stars. The feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people, with everyone watching you and chanting your name, is really addictive.

Abel is not a big star, but the cheers and love he receives now are bigger than a star. More importantly, while enjoying this kind of big star treatment, the influence and power he can exert is stronger than all the big stars in the world combined.

If people with a bad mood often enjoy this kind of treatment, it is really easy for them to develop a feeling of "I am superior to others", and thus become torn apart from the people at the bottom, and psychologically evolve into indifference to ordinary people. People at the top.

In fact, Abel is in this situation now, but he is not very clear about it.

But even if he discovered it, Abel probably wouldn't feel anything at all.

In the circle around him, there were too many people who were less human than him. Apart from a little hobby in beauty, he is nothing too normal compared to those of his kind!

"...This is the statue of my ancestors' friendship for five generations, and it has always been one of the symbols of the Osaka Stock Exchange."

Inside the new building of the Osaka Stock Exchange.

Although it has been decided to sell most of the shares to Abel, the fifth generation Xiong Jie is still one of the senior management of DZSE at this time.

Because he was relatively "familiar" with Abel, he turned into a tour guide at this moment, taking Abel, John Wenders, the U.S. envoy to Japan, and Jubilee Rox, the head of the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, in the new office building of Dazheng Tour visit.

After relieving the pressure of several years and gaining huge wealth, the fifth-year-old Xiongsuke's face was almost glowing. In order to have a better future in the future, he just wants to work hard to please the Americans and let them help him.

"He is a very powerful man. I heard that he was once the father of Osaka's economy?" Abel said with a smile while looking at the statue of Godai Tomohou.

"Yes." When it comes to the glory of his ancestors, Xiong Jie of the fifth generation is also very proud.

Godaiyouhou is not a small figure in Neon. He is a big businessman, political leader, and entrepreneurial leader in Neon during the Meiji era. Born in a samurai family of the Satsuma Domain (today's Kagoshima), he participated in the overthrow and restoration, and left a heavy mark in neon's modern history.

The reason why the Osaka Division in the neon cabinet at the back is very unique is that part of it was founded by Tomohou Godai, a regiment who liked doing business more than fighting...

But these have nothing to do with Abel, not to mention that it was also the glory of Neon in the past. The fifth generation of Xiongsuke can only enjoy a little remnant now.

The main purpose of Abel's coming here today is actually to appear in front of the Neon Public and be interviewed.

Except for Soros and a few others on Wall Street, Buffett and others have done this kind of thing.

Even if some of them used to cut neon leeks very hard.

The visit that was filmed by the media ended quickly, and we came to the most important topic of the day, which was being interviewed by Neon and global reporters at the press conference arranged by the Osaka Stock Exchange.

There is no need to guess in this kind of interview, the content is 100% arranged.

The reporters who were "lucky" enough to get the qualification to ask questions were all shills or their own staff.

The questions they raised had already been reviewed, and even the general directions and answers they had been given were answered by the Smith Intelligence Group after communicating with the Neon People and the American Embassy.

Abel has a photographic memory. He can remember things at a glance, so it is not easy to handle this kind of interview.

Usually there are three questions at the beginning. The host Neon people will ask questions first. The first three questions are basically related to Neon.

One question is about his views on Neon, the second question is about his views on Neon securities, capital, and financial markets, and the third question is about his views on the development of Neon's economy.

Then he became a little more free and asked questions about what kind of industries Abel would invest in when he came to Neon, etc.

There are 10 questions in total, all of which are very mainstream, and most of them are related to business.

Although I used to be a Chinese, I deeply hate these small cabinets. But Abel today is no longer the angry young man he was when he was just reborn.

Time has changed, the changes in status, the mentality brought about by long-standing high positions, and the moral standards that have become more and more like that of a top-level American, at least in public, Abel will not say anything unpleasant to the United States, the number one brother in Asia.

In fact, Abel knew that in his current position, he could no longer talk nonsense, even if he hated it.

So everything looked great, until Abel finished answering the question. John Wenders, the U.S. envoy to Japan, and Jubilee Rox, the head of the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, also went up to be interviewed and said some words, and everything ended happily.

After everything ended, it was already past 5 o'clock, and Osaka people prepared a grand welcome banquet for the Americans.

Almost all the top neon celebrities in the Kansai region appeared at the banquet.

Osaka is Neon's second largest city after Tokyo. Kansai and Kanto have always been the two most important political and economic circles for Neon.

In fact, Neon currently does not have a capital in a legal sense. According to the traditional culture of Neon, the capital is constantly changing with the residence of the royal family. In the history of neon lights, Kyoto, located in Kansai, was the capital district for a longer period of time.

Therefore, Kansai people have their own style, whether it is accent or style. After all, Kyoto in Kansai was once the capital for thousands of years.

Kansai people, or actually Neon people, are influenced by the background of the Warring States Period, and have a strong regional culture and group culture.

It's just that the regional blackness is very serious.

Kanto and Kansai have never stopped confronting each other in many aspects such as economy, culture, and governance.

One obvious point is that many large Kansai companies will not go public in Tokyo, but choose to list in Osaka. To this day, the two stock exchanges are still separate. Even the transmission lines in Kanto and Kansai have different frequencies. The electrical appliances in the two places cannot even be used in common.

Do you dare to think that the air conditioners produced and sold in Guangdong Province cannot be used directly in the Northeast, and must be used with an adapter to convert the voltage and frequency?

Unlike last night's exclusive reception banquet held by Mitsui Fuyuko and others, tonight's reception banquet was open to the public at the beginning, and the smell of neon feudal dross was extremely strong.

Abel also met one of Neon's current real owners at this banquet.

A group of old neon aristocrats, mainly members of the neon cloud club.

As a feudal country, Neon gave very good treatment to the former daimyo and nobles after the restoration, and they became the so-called Chinese.

The small cabinet directly gave them superior privileges legally, putting the Chinese above ordinary people. In this regard, Germany has gone even further than Juncker.

Later, after the defeat of the war and the abolishment of the Chinese system, the Chinese guild hall did not disappear. Instead, it was transformed into a general corporate association and renamed "Xia guild hall", which continued to exist as an old Chinese friendship club.

After World War II, with the rapid rise of chaebol capital, the old Chinese community in Xia Kaiguan was severely squeezed and has long since lost its former glory.

But these people are very smart, or so is Neon's national situation.

Many of them chose to retreat behind the scenes and return to the places where their ancestors had stayed, and one by one they became local bullies.

It was difficult for the chaebol capital to reach out, which allowed them to successfully control more than 40% of the local elections in Neon.

Cooperating with the local Shoji families, almost all local elections in Neon are controlled by the descendants of these former daimyo and their allies.

Relying on this hand, Xia Kaiguan can exist, and the old Chinese can also maintain a huge influence on modern neon.

But in front of the scene, they learned well and basically retreated behind the scenes, rarely coming to the front of the stage.

Like now, I was toasting to Abel respectfully. Before Abel had finished his drink, a neon man named Kitashirakawa Michihisa was the current chairman of the Neon Kasumi Club.

Even though this guy has little reputation in front of the neon screen, that is, in front of ordinary neon people, he has a very high status among the Chinese and plutocrats.

Well, you will know the reason just by looking at his identity - the former royal family, the old Eleven Palace family, the Kitashirakawa Palace family, the former Grand Secretary of Yinse Shrine, the general office of the main shrine...

If this was placed in China's Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would be the Guan Zongren Mansion.

All the titles are very feudal, but Neon is such a feudal country packaged with modern civilization. So one can imagine Kitashirakawa Michihisa's status and influence in this country.

"Mr. Smith, actually I am your alumnus! Because my university is also the University of Sri Lanka! The evening breeze on the red gravel road still makes me miss it so much! If possible, I really want to go back to that carefree era. !"

After drinking and returning to his seat, Kitashirakawa Michihisa looked drunk and spoke drunkenly in English with a slight southern accent.

The Red Gravel Road is a road paved with pink gravel and pebbles in the middle teaching building of Texas University. It leads to the cafeteria and classrooms and is also the only way to go to 11 different styles of student dormitories. The place most familiar to University of Illinois students.

Looking at the group of neon people surrounding him, John Wenders, and Jubilee Rox, Abel chuckled, "The aircraft technology is so advanced now, you are welcome to Texas at any time, you are welcome Back to Houston, welcome back to Houston."

"Definitely! Even if I am very busy, I will go back every two or three years. The last time was in 2000, I really miss it..." Kitashirakawa Michihisa said enthusiastically.

"Ah, I also accompanied Mr. Kitashirakawa there at that time. It is really a perfect school!" At this time, a neon-colored middle-aged man next to Mr. Kitashirakawa also said in a joking manner.

This middle-aged man has just introduced himself. His name is Maeda Riyu. He is the executive director of Kasumi Kaikan and the main person doing the work.

Status is also very valuable here in Neon. He is a descendant of the Kaga clan lord. If the Chinese system was still there, this guy would be a marquis now.

"You're all welcome..." Abel said casually with a smile.

He was like a king at this party.

Neon people flattered him in various ways, and he only had to accept it silently and respond casually or casually.

In fact, if he hadn't considered the impact on Zhengzhi, he probably wouldn't have held such a boring banquet here.

Don't Mitsui Fuyuko and the others smell good? Why hang out with a bunch of washed-up old guys? We are still the neon old guys trembling under the hegemony of the United States!

Boring and boring, this is how Abel felt at the beginning.

But later on, Neon, the most stubborn feudal bastards, made Abel really feel that they were really fucking scum, but they were also really fucking good at playing.

Basically, it's a prelude of introducing names and getting to know each other first.

Kitashirakawa Michijiu asked softly: "Smith-kun, I am very happy to meet you tonight. In addition, we have arranged a song and dance show for you. Would you like to enjoy it?"

Is it the same thing as the Han State Embassy again? Abel nodded indifferently, thinking that after seeing it, he would go back to Mitsui Fuyuko and continue to hold the future neon healing goddesses against each other. Wouldn't it be fun?

Seeing his permission, Kitashirakawa Michijiu immediately clapped his hands gently. Then, a group of dancers walked in, and after arriving on the terrace outside, they continued to perform against the background of the sea and the bright moon.

The lights on the terrace were dim, softly illuminating the scenery there.

Abel's eyesight was very good, which allowed him to glance over and find that the quality of all these dancers was very high.

In terms of appearance, he even felt that most of them were not inferior to Mitsui Fuyuko and the others.

At this time, under the special makeup photos and background, the special feeling brought by the hazy beauty makes them even more beautiful than Yui Aragaki and others.

Abel felt that if any of them got involved in the Japanese entertainment industry, they might be able to make a big mark in the Japanese entertainment industry just by virtue of their beauty.

If they were just particularly beautiful and generally very good-looking, it wouldn't make Abel think that these neon feudal dregs would have fun.

Later, when Abel understood that these twenty beautiful girls were all raised by Kasumi Kaikan through Kitashirakawa Michihisa's slightly obscure introduction, the well-informed Abel was a little shocked.

Let's put it this way, these are all top goddesses outside, and their figures and looks are not inferior to those of Neon's female stars who are famous for their beauty.

All of them were "adopted" since childhood and were put in special places to be trained and brainwashed from an early age. After receiving relevant skills training, they were given as gifts to Xia Guild Hall's "entertaining" guests!

Once someone whom Kasumi Kaikan deems worthy of wooing appears, they will be displayed like collections to entertain guests.

As long as the guest is willing, he can choose one of them to enjoy.

After enjoying it, you can choose to take her home and keep it forever.

But in reality, they have no identity at all, no traces, and nothing. They exist like savages who appeared out of thin air.

The person who takes them home can treat them however he wants, even if he kills them, there will be no consequences.

Because they had no identity at all, a savage with no social traces died, and even if someone wanted to seek justice for her, they would be unable to do so.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to take it home after enjoying it. The decision lies with the guest.

And Xia Kaiguan will not continue to use them to entertain other guests, and those who have been touched will no longer appear on the stage.

So where did the things that were touched and not taken away and raised go?

Kitashirakawa Michichi didn't say anything for a long time, but Abel also knew that the end would definitely not be good.

To be honest, after knowing this, Abel's outlook was a bit shocked.

How is this different from slaves in a slave society? This kind of play is much more outrageous than the Luo Island of those zipper people.

At least the girls on Luo Island can still return to normal society as long as nothing happens and they keep their mouths shut for the rest of their lives.

Unlike the group of people at Xia Guild Hall, they played more outrageously.

It can be said that they have no control over their entire lives.

Abel looked around at the neon old Chinese people who were laughing as usual, and felt a little silent for a moment.

"This is neon." At this time, John Wenders, who was beside Abel, suddenly said softly. He shrugged, "Their BT level is honestly beyond the reach of the Germans."

As a woman, Jubilee Rox stood next to her with a livid face.

Abel nodded slightly to John Wenders, and then looked at the terrace in front. Although their expressions were all lively and pleasant, their eyes were dull and robot-like, with no unnecessary movements at all, and their dance movements were standard. They are even more standard than the most standard girl groups in Han Kingdom.

At the same time, Abel also noticed that there were many girls among them who should be mixed race, or simply European and American, and not all of them were Neon people.

Obviously these neon bastards have also taken into account the diversity of modern aesthetics.

Of course, Abel also felt that it was possible that they felt that this kind of diversified beauty was more suitable for entertaining Americans like themselves, so there were more ethnic faces appearing, and there were even two black beauties like black pearls.

Fakshet, indeed the crows in the world are as black as each other, and each group is darker than the other.

In this respect, Abel feels that the Neon Man is really astonishing to Americans with their level of inhumanity.
