I’ll Add Points To All Things

With the [Absolute Verbal Contract], as long as the other party made a promise to him, he would be able to force them to fulfill that promise.

Of course, there was a limit to this. This ability would only take effect if the other party could fulfill their promise no matter how extreme they would have to go to fulfill it.

Therefore, if an ordinary person said that he would give Su Yang one trillion yuan, the ability would not work.

This was also the reason why Su Yang did not use this Silver Ability on Toyota and the other automobile tycoons.

As a tycoon that had been established in Japan for more than a century, the forces behind Toyota and the other automobile tycoons were too complicated. It was so complicated that even the president did not have absolute power.

Even though they had promised to produce parts for hundreds of thousands or even millions of cars, they would still have to go through various departments first before the board of directors would decide.

Coupled with the fact that these few presidents were not the actual decision makers of the company’s financials, they might not be able to do it for various reasons.

Furthermore, even if they were able to do it, a trap like that would be too obvious.

As one of Japan’s strongest tycoons, they might not let this matter rest after being scammed by Su Yang.

Therefore, Su Yang, who had 10 thousand ways to deal with them, did not have to choose the riskiest method.

But, Nindentou was a different case.

According to Little Deeny’s research, up until that moment, Nindentou had only had two presidents, and because the console and the gaming industry preferred to follow successful people, Nindentou’s current president had a lot of authority. He was practically the boss of the entire company.

Even if his decision did not seem logical, his subordinates would still obey.

Even if there were objections from the previous president or the board of directors, there was a high chance that the president would approve it.

Therefore, the method that Yagawa Masaru had guessed that Su Yang would use was not used on the four automobile companies but on Nindentou…

Soon, the conversation came to an end. The president of Nindentou was still oblivious to all of this. He did not know that he had walked into a trap.

After he left, he was still conversing with the Clown Sea Serpent in a low voice. His main objective was to ask the Clown Sea Serpent to cancel this harsh condition.

It was too weird and unfair for them to produce millions of items before they even reached an agreement.

Putting aside whether the final cooperation would be successful or not, even if it was successful, the production of these parts required money! Producing them first and storing them there, but not selling them. It was completely consuming the company’s cash flow!

In this era, cash flow was the life of a company. The accumulation of millions of console parts would really crush a company to death!

Therefore, the president of Nindentou vented his grievances to the Clown Sea Serpent.

The Clown Sea Serpent also put on an act. After listening to him carefully, he promised Nindentou that he would definitely settle this matter. After that, he sent him out of the hotel.

That night, the president of Nindentou received a call from the Clown Sea Serpent.

On the phone, the Clown Sea Serpent had already persuaded Su Yang to take back his request. Soon, Su Yang would send the official email over.

When the president of Nindentou heard that, he nearly jumped out of his chair in excitement!

‘He dealt with it so quickly!

‘Seriously?!

‘The amount of money I spent on him is totally worth it!

‘So, am I really going to collaborate with Jiadian Group now?!’

Soon, an official email was sent to the president of Nindentou.

In the email, Su Yang said that Jiadian Group would seriously consider collaborating with Nindentou. Then, he hoped that Nindentou would redesign the console based on the parameters provided by Jiadian Group and prepare at least one prototype for Jiadian Group.

While they were preparing the prototype, Jiadian Group hoped that Nindentou could prepare the relevant information about their company and send it over.

When the time came, Jiadian Group would do a comprehensive evaluation based on the prototype and all the information on Nindentou. They would also consider whether to cooperate or not.

Because they might not work together in the end, Jiadian Group advised Nindentou not to produce too many prototypes to prevent unnecessary losses if the comprehensive evaluation failed.

At the end of the email, it was signed by Su Yang and Jiadian Group, which proved that the document was indeed bound to Su Yang and Jiadian Group.

In a capitalist country, email was legally binding. Therefore, the president of Nindentou was overjoyed when he saw this official email.

He shared this piece of good news with his confidant and sent it to the company’s executives. He asked the company to start redesigning the new console based on the screens and battery parameters sent by Jiadian Group.

When the executives of Nindentou received the news that Jiadian Group would most likely cooperate with them, they were extremely excited.

One had to know that Jiadian Group was an actually goose that laid golden eggs at that moment! Once they got close to the company, they could become rich!

Especially in Japan where the stock market was booming, Nindentou’s future was limitless!

Everything seemed to have suddenly turned beautiful!

At night, after all the work was done, Su Yang came to the virtual space and called out the [Absolute Verbal Contract].

[Absolute Verbal Contract] was one of Su Yang’s most important Silver Abilities. Su Yang had used it many times when he needed to turn the situation around.

Now that Su Yang was getting stronger, even though he did not need to use it to turn the situation around, he could still use it to do many things that were difficult to complete in reality.

Therefore, Su Yang did not hesitate to sign the [Absolute Verbal Contract] that the president of Nindentou had agreed to “produce 5 million console parts in advance”.

Looking at how the [Absolute Verbal Contract] was gradually burning up, Su Yang knew that nothing unexpected would happen during this trip to Japan. He just had to wait patiently.

‘In any case, I’ve already reminded Nindentou in the email to not produce too many parts. If something goes wrong, everything will be fine once I reveal the email to the public.

‘As for the four automobile companies…

‘I’ll just wait a little longer. Japan’s stock market will definitely swallow them.’

In the following month, other than “Wandering Planet” being officially screened in China, almost nothing else happened.

Normally, a movie would only be released for about a month, but if it was a popular movie, it could be screened for longer.

Su Yang had been handling matters in Japan and was not in a hurry to complete his Platinum Mission. Therefore, he did not reject the few extra screenings that the headquarters had given to “Wandering Planet”.

Just like that, “Wandering Planet” ended up being shown for two more months.

And on that day, it was finally being taken down…

This meant that Su Yang’s first Platinum Mission was finally completed!

Other than “Wandering Planet”, the most important thing in the month was the Japanese stock market. With the help of Su Yang and a few other tycoons and foreign capital, Japan’s index rose by 33% in one and a half months.

This was the entire stock market, not just one particular stock.

In other words, even if he bought the index fund, he could earn 30% of the profits in this one and a half months!

There was no need to mention some popular shares.

For example, the automobile, technology, foreign capital, and several other industries Su Yang targeted had all doubled.

After a month of observation, the Japanese realised that the stock market wasn’t a farce, but it was truly welcoming of a big bull market!

In a big bull market, it was much easier to earn money with one’s eyes closed than in the real world! Therefore, they all entered the stock market to take over.

Instantly, Japan entered a period of false economic prosperity! Not only did it resolve the depreciation of the Japanese yuan and USD, but the stock index also soared.

But this false boom must be hidden within a huge bubble.

The more prosperous it was at that moment, the more the country would decline when the bubble popped.

On the other hand, Su Yang, as the fully deserving antagonist, did not hesitate to pour an entire canister of fuel over the stock market.

At the press conference in the middle of the month, Jiadian Group announced that they were negotiating with five Japanese enterprises: Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Nindentou, and reached a preliminary verbal agreement.

In the future, Jiadian Group is likely to empower the five companies to use efficient graphene batteries and transparent circuit screens.

Jiadian Group loved the Japanese market and Japanese culture very much. In the future, all the major companies in Japan would be given priority by Jiadian Group.

Once this news was released, the stocks of the five companies soared. Even the automobile, games, and technology sector started to rise.

After all, who was Jiadian Group?

They were now recognized as the most advanced technology company in the world! Even Tesla, Apple, and Google, who were building rockets in the United States, might not be his match.

And now, Jiadian Group was going to cooperate with these companies? And they would prioritize working with Japanese companies in the future?!

If this was not good news to the Japanese, what was?!

Under the current popularity of the Japanese stock market, any news, as minor as possible, would still be a big piece of news as long as it mentioned Jiadian Group!

Therefore, the Japanese index could no longer stop. It brought the hope of the whole of Japan with it!

‘Well then, Japan has now lost their last chance to save themselves…’

…

Meanwhile, it was still that familiar courtyard, and that familiar cherry blossom tree.

April had passed, and the cherry blossoms had already withered, leaving only the bare trunk.

Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan. It was a favorite of the Yamato people. Although it was gorgeous, the period it bloomed was very short. The Japanese people called it the Seven Suns Flower, which meant that they would only bloom for seven days.

Even though this was an exaggeration, it was actually about the same. The entire cherry blossom tree only took about half a month to fully bloom. Normally, it would fall as it bloomed. It was a unique scenery.

And now was the time for the cherry blossoms to fall.

Yagawa Masaru and the old man sat under the bare cherry blossom tree. There were teacups and teapots placed before them, but they did not drink tea. Instead, they looked at each other silently.

After a while, Yagawa Masaru said, “Mitsui, have you transferred all my assets?”

The old man lowered his head and said, “They have all been replaced with USD.”

Yagawa Masaru asked, “What about the bank mortgage?”

The old man continued, “They’ve also gone through the process and exchanged for cash. Because the stock market is high now, the amount of money exchanged is much more than before.”

Yagawa Masaru nodded. “Then let’s keep it with us.”

The old man asked in confusion, “Yagawa-kun, what is the purpose of your plan? Are you preparing to… Defect?”

Yagawa Masaru poured himself a cup of tea. As he poured, he asked, “If it’s defection, why didn’t I transfer the money from my mortgage overseas?”

The old man choked on the words that came out of his mouth. ‘This doesn’t make any sense.’

“Then… What are you doing?”

Yagawa Masaru looked at the withered courtyard and said, “The Great Depression is coming again.”

The old man was shocked. “The Great Depression?”

Yagawa Masaru nodded. “Yes.”

The old man questioned, “Our country has already lost twenty years because of it, so how could we meet again so soon!”

Yagawa Masaru asked, “Then let me ask you. What do you think of our exchange rate right now?”

The old man was stunned for a moment before he said, “Not very good. Although our yen’s exchange rate has stabilized, it’s much lower than before. Although it’s good for the country’s import and export trade in the long term, at least in the short term, it will have a huge impact on the economy.”

Yagawa Masaru nodded. “What about the stock market?”

At the mention of the stock market, a smile appeared on the old man’s face. “Perhaps it’s because we have confidence in the country and because we lowered the exchange rate, in the long run, the country’s economy will recover. Therefore, the stock market is thriving. It’s rising every day.”

At this point, he added, “Even I invested my savings into the stock market. I’ve already earned more than double.”

Yagawa Masaru glanced at him and said earnestly, “Sell it off now.”

The old man thought he had heard wrong. “What?”

Yagawa Masaru emphasized, “I said, you’d better sell off all your stocks now. If you don’t, you won’t be able to escape.”

Hesitation appeared on the old man’s face. “But the stock market is doing very well. The experts say 20 thousand is the starting point, 30 thousand is not the limit, and 40 thousand isn’t far from the future.”

“Ha.” Yagawa Masaru scoffed. “Experts…”

He asked the old man, “The stocks in your hands are rising very well, right?”

The old man nodded.

Yagawa Masaru said, “You’ve earned double?”

The old man nodded again.

Yagawa Masaru asked, “Are you intending on continuing to buy in more?”

The old man nodded vigorously.

Yagawa Masaru put down his teacup and asked the fatal question. “Then… Do you have the money to buy more?”

The old man was stunned.

As the executive of the marketing group, he had a lot of savings. Furthermore, he was already old, so he was actually more conservative when it came to managing money.

As a result, he only bought some stocks to test the waters and did not want to buy more.

However, he had no choice. The stock market had risen too much.

Looking at the profits that were rising every day, the old man started to lose control of his hands. He started to add more.

Every time he added more, he would console himself with the thought that if he added a little more, he could control the risk.

Even so, two months after the Japanese stock market rose, he had spent almost all of his savings in the stock market…
