Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 2 Takakura Bunta’s past life

In Takakura Bunta's previous life, he was a social worker who graduated from an ordinary university in China. He was involved in a car accident while watching the Wano Country Chapter of "One Piece" on his mobile phone after get off work.

After being reborn, I struggled to wake up from the bed and found that charcoal was being burned at home. I quickly opened the door and windows...

....................................

The life of the host of this body can be said to be full of ups and downs.

In the 20s, RB's economy was simmering in flames, making rapid progress, and ushered in the bubble era. The culture of "corporate warrior" prevails in the workplace, which is used to describe workers who devote their lives to the company fiercely.

The terms "violent commune members" and "corporate warriors" became popular for a while.

…………

Everyone sang company songs in the morning, pumped up chicken blood, loved the company, and dedicated their lives to the company.

Going to work at 8 a.m. and going home at 11 p.m. every day, working overtime for four or five hours a day is a completely small case.

Meetings at 1 a.m. are also common, and some business departments often stay in the company to work overtime for a week.

The advertisement for the Red Bull energy drink at that time simply read "24-hour battle?!" (Can you fight for 24 hours?!)

Bunta Takakura is one of the corporate warriors, earning the first pot of gold in his life.

…………

At that time, Japan's per capita income was 145% of that of the United States, and its GDP accounted for 15% of the world's total, exceeding that of Germany and France combined.

It can be said that it is a truly powerful country from all angles.

The finance ministers of the United States, Britain, Germany, France and Japan signed the Plaza Accord at the Plaza Hotel in New York, USA, and the Ministry of Finance launched a loose financial policy.

The entire RB economy is booming, loan policies are unprecedentedly loose, and the entire population is engaged in a frenzy of "buying houses with loans and buying stocks with leverage."

In 1990, the land price index in the six urban centers of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Yokohama and Kobe increased by approximately 1985% compared with 1490.

At that time, the land price in Tokyo alone was equivalent to the land price in the entire United States.

…………

A girl in Tokyo has four boyfriends at the same time, carrying the latest luxury goods of the season from LV, Hermès, and Chanel;

During the intern interview for graduates from prestigious schools, the HR of the recruiting unit will give 10 yen in cash and reimburse the train fare, food and accommodation.

The staff spent tens of thousands of yen on a taxi ride, ate gold-leaf sushi in the restaurant, and drank wine flown from France;

Nike launched a three-piece golf set worth 5000 million yen in Tokyo. 3 sets were pre-sold, and all were sold out in three days;

Mitsubishi Estate spent US$8.5 million to acquire a 51% stake in the American landmark Rockefeller Center, buying the world's largest national landmark building;
  This is the era of RB! ! !
  ..............................

Young Bunta Takakura used all his savings to pay 300,000 yen for tea to a real estate agent, hiring people to queue up late at night and lottery to grab a house.

Then use the help of bank managers.

After just signing a few pages of documents, I bought four houses in Tokyo's Minato Ward, Chuo Ward, and Shibuya Ward with zero down payment.

Then he mortgaged his house to a securities company, used dozens of times leverage to invest in stocks, and achieved a class jump in one fell swoop.

…………

A long time after the Plaza Accord was signed.

In NHK news, every day, countries are optimistic about RB's economy and praise RB's relaxation of financial controls.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady, in an interview with Time Magazine, claimed:

"The Plaza Accord will help the world economy recover, and Tokyo will achieve healthier and more lasting economic growth."

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in The Economist:

“The Ministry of Finance’s ultra-loose financial credit policy is undoubtedly professional, rational and correct.”

Warren Buffett faced a reporter from the Sankei Shimbun, drank a Coke, and talked eloquently:

"The RB economy is in a new ultra-long growth stage, and there are a lot of investment opportunities in Tokyo (stock market)."

"Yes, we will pay attention to it in the long term, it is an exciting market..."

John Major, the 50th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said during his visit to Japan:

"The great prosperity of Tokyo's economy is the strongest growth engine of the world economy. The Ministry of Finance should further relax financial controls."

Kristalina Georgieva, President of the World Monetary Fund (IMF), predicted in the IMF annual report: “The IMF assesses that Tokyo’s economic activity and freedom have increased significantly, and it is expected that RB’s GDP will rise in 2010. More than the United States.”

…………

Harvard scholar, guest professor at Kwansei Gakuin University, and famous public intellectual Fu Gaoyi published "RB No. 1!" "The sales volume of RB's books exceeded that of "Dragon Ball", ranking first in RB's book sales this year.

Leaders of all major Western economies and economic organizations unanimously praised RB's financial opening with unprecedented unanimous approval.

These people are pretty good...

....................................

Happy time is always short, it's time to say goodbye again.

…………

January 1990, 1, was the darkest day in the history of the RB stock market.

On that day, the Nikkei stock index plummeted, and the RB stock market plummeted 70%.

人们依稀记得，就在半个月前的1989年12月31日，日经指数还达到了辉煌的高点3万8915点。

但是，以1990年1月12日的短短一天时间，股市下跌2万5674点。

…………

On January 1990, 1, the "Land Price Tax" policy was introduced, stipulating that all land holders must pay a certain proportion of tax every year.

The Tokyo real estate market began to collapse... The huge real estate bubble began to burst in Tokyo and quickly spread to the entire RB...

Land and houses cannot be sold at all, the buildings being completed one after another have no residents, vacant houses are everywhere, and real estate prices have plummeted.

The RB real estate market immediately entered an ice age of "oversupply".

…………

The double collapse of the stock market and property market caused the number of suicides in Tokyo in 1990 to exceed the combined number of the countries ranked second to tenth in the world.

Real RB No. 1! ! !

…………

Wealth on paper is fleeting and disappears with the collapse of the bubble...

The real estate tax bills, bank mortgages, leverage fees of securities companies, and loan sharking from underground banks that Gao Cangbunta owed...

This is an astronomical number.

All the houses were forcibly foreclosed, the loan interest figures of underground banks were jumping every day, and thousands of debt collection calls were made every day, destroying Takakura Bunta's entire social network.

Hundreds of kilograms of red paint, dead animals, and excrement always followed him no matter how he moved or changed jobs, splattering all over his residence, vehicle, and workplace...

Social death.

Takakura Bunta, faced with a nine-figure debt, chose to burn charcoal at home...

....................................

Rebirth is facing the debt pressure of a catfish, and it is in the thundering period of the bubble economy era.

Family members, who knows!
  Fortunately, the "golden finger" began to take effect, and my physical fitness became stronger and stronger.

This state is a kind of "innate strength".

"You don't need to deliberately train your body, you don't need to learn any fighting skills, and you don't need to find out the opponent's information before fighting. You can only rely on your own fighting experience and unique strength to deal with any enemy."

Takakura Bunta remembered that in his previous life, he was in a car accident while watching the Wano chapter of "One Piece". Could it be that this was the physique of Kaido, "one of the Four Emperors", "the strongest creature on land, sea, and air".

…………

With his superb physical fitness, Takakura Bunta found a volunteer job at a charity welfare home in Kabukicho, Shinjuku.

I work in a dispatch labor service company during the day, and work part-time at Night Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute in Shinjuku. I also accompany VIP charity donors as volunteers at night.

In this way, the debt interest can be barely maintained, so that the creditor Kariya's excrement attack on Takakura Bunta is temporarily suspended.

This allowed Takakura Bunta's life to finally stop losing money and stop falling, with signs of stabilizing at the bottom...
