Chapter 642 Anime Craze

"Honey, are you guys using stock manipulation tactics?" Yui Aragaki asked curiously. She also invested in stocks; to be precise, about 80% of people in Japan allocate around 20% of their personal income to stock trading. This is roughly the case for the Four Asian Tigers, with Tokyo being a major financial hub.

It's fair to say that almost everyone invests in stocks.

Shen Fang glanced at Shinichi Yui: "You trade stocks too?"

Yui Aragaki nodded: "I bought shares in Mitsubishi Group, as well as SoftBank, Sumitomo, and Fuji Group. I also got some foreign exchange."

Shen Fang, Shen Kun, and Wang Haibo exchanged a smile.

"Yui, cash out now. A storm is coming soon. Be careful, or you'll lose all your hard-earned money."

"Huh? But the National Bank just released the news, and the Securities Exchange has also readjusted the leverage. Everyone is saying it's a good time to invest."

Shen Fang pinched Yui Aragaki's cheek: "Listen to me, I won't hurt you."

"But I've made quite a bit of money lately," Yui Aragaki said, somewhat puzzled.

Shen Fang chuckled: "Whatever you want. If you lose money, I'll make it up to you."

After breakfast, Shen Fang took Yui Aragaki to look at properties. Yui Aragaki initially thought Shen Fang was joking, but it turned out he was serious.

Are all Chinese men this generous?

Shen Fang chuckled: "Not every Chinese man is this generous, but most are. I'm very rich. Buying a house is like you buying a toy on the street. Now that you're mine, I can't let you live in a dangerous place. If you're going to choose, choose the place with the best environment, the best security, the best conditions, and the best location. Don't think about saving me money. I came to Japan this time to make money."

"Honey, you don't need to be so good to me."

Shen Fang squeezed Yui Aragaki's small hand: "They all have them."

Upon hearing this, Yui Aragaki immediately made a decision: Buy it!!! She wanted everything that others had!!!

Ultimately, on the recommendation of a real estate consultant, I bought a large 6-bedroom apartment in downtown Ginza. The renovation was already complete, so I could move in immediately.

Pay the money, show your ID card, and sign the contract.

A week later, Yui Aragaki will be able to get the property certificate. Yui Aragaki stares at the land contract in her hand in a panic.

"I own a house? A luxurious penthouse? In Tokyo's Ginza district???!!!"

Shen Fang smiled: "Darling, are you happy?"

Yui Aragaki tackled Shen Fang to the ground, exclaiming, "Darling, I love you so much, mua, mua, mua!"

Yui Aragaki hugged and kissed Chen Fang for a long time; she had achieved her life goal ahead of schedule!

"Can I bring my dad and mom over?"

Shen Fang pinched Yui Aragaki's little face: "This is your house, you are its owner, you can let whoever you want live here."

"That's wonderful!!! Darling, I love you!!!"

Looking at the excited Yui Aragaki, Shen Fang couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, don't get so excited. From now on, you can buy whatever you want. Here's the card, the money is in it. Spend it however you want."

Shen Fang handed the prepared bank card to Yui Aragaki.

Do they have them too?

Shen Fang nodded: "Yes, we have both."

Yui Aragaki looked at Chen Fang: "Darling, can you meet my parents?"

Forehead......

"No problem. If it's convenient, the next couple of days would be best, because I won't be staying here for long."

Where are you going?

"I still have career plans to take care of in China."

Yui Aragaki looked reluctant: "But I can't bear to part with you."

"Um, so you're coming back to China with me?"

"Ah, this, this..." Yui Aragaki's question caught her off guard, and she didn't know what to do. On one hand, although she was reluctant to part with Chen Fang, she hadn't considered the possibility of going to a foreign country with Chen Fang alone. She also had her parents. She didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

"Okay, silly, if you miss me, give me a call. I'll come see you when I have time, or you can come to China to see me. It's very close, only a few hours by plane."

"But I really can't bear to part with you." Regardless of how deep their feelings were, Shen Fang was her first man, and he treated her so well, arranging everything for her. This kind of man who made her feel so safe made Yui Aragaki very infatuated.

"Sweetie, you still have your dreams. Whenever you want to quit and take a break, I'll bring you back to China, okay?"

"You haven't forgotten me, have you?" Yui Aragaki asked with some worry. Long-distance relationships are tough. Such an outstanding man already has other women around him besides her. What if he forgets her after a long time apart?

Chen Fang... Sister, how insecure are you about your beauty?

"Such a beautiful woman, wouldn't I be a bit foolish if I forgot about you?"

"Ugh, I'm just an average pretty girl." Aragaki Yui was very happy about Shen Fang's praise. Of course, she was very happy when her man praised her beauty.

That afternoon, Jin Tianxia Er drafted the contract and also introduced Shen Fang to a master, Hayao Miyazaki.

Of all Miyazaki Hayao's animations, I only think two are really good: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.

Hayao Miyazaki's art style can indeed be called the pinnacle of the comic book world; every frame of his films and anime is wallpaper-worthy.

It's absolutely beautiful; it's truly the work of a master.

Shen Fang asked for two autographs and took a photo with him. They chatted for a bit. Miyazaki Hayao's purpose in coming here was to promote his works to the Chinese public.

This was naturally no problem, and Shen Fang readily agreed, directly buying the rights to Miyazaki Hayao's anime and planning to use it as the main image on Bilibili.

Then Jin Tian handed over the list of works he was preparing to enter the domestic market to Shen Fang.

Naruto Shippuden, Dragon Ball, Digimon, Gintama, One Piece, Toriko, Detective Conan, Saint Seiya—these are all top-tier anime. They don't have any political flaws; they're all action-packed and generally have no problems.

Both parties signed, and the cooperation became effective.
