Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 146: Saving a Beautiful White Girl
Yukiko Nakamori reported to Ji Chang everything she knew and thought.

Ji Chang listened, thought, and raised questions and suggestions from time to time. He found that although it was indeed difficult to set up a TV station, it was not completely impossible.

The key is to deal with those few people. As long as the benefits delivered are sufficient, it will definitely work.

In addition, you can also seek advice from relevant senior military officials.

He knew very well that the American army had always wanted to control the island country and wanted to keep it in their hands.

He came to Tokyo to see if he could get in touch with the families of those soldiers.

It's impossible for them to be really alone here, right? There must be some of them who came to the island country with their wives and daughters, right?
As long as you meet one, you will have the opportunity to contact him or her.

Once you get in touch with her, she will become your fan girl.

After chatting with Yukiko Nakamori for a while, Ji Chang went home with Yukiko Nakamori.

Now they have rented a house near Ji Yingzi. The place is quite large because it was rented according to Ji Chang's request, because Ji Chang said that he might come to Tokyo at any time.

There is still quite a distance from the pier to home, fortunately Yukiko Nakamori came by tricycle.

Although it is not as convenient as riding a bike, it is not difficult to carry them back. After all, Ji Chang did not bring many people with him.

Tokyo in 1950 was in the midst of an important period of post-war reconstruction. The city had been devastated by the war, but as time went by, it was gradually recovering.

Despite this, traces of the war can still be seen on the streets of Tokyo, with broken walls and newly built simple wooden houses coexisting, demonstrating the city's tenacity and indomitable spirit.

Ji Chang sat on the back seat of a tricycle, traveling through the streets of Tokyo, observing every corner of the city.

On the streets, people dressed in simple clothes, with resolute expressions on their faces, were busy going to their respective jobs. The shop windows displayed limited goods. Although supplies were in short supply, people's mental outlook was positive.

As the tricycle slowly passed by, the buildings on the roadside showed different styles. Some still retained the traditional Japanese wooden structure, while others were trying to adopt Western architectural elements.

Propaganda posters and slogans on the exterior walls of some buildings encourage people to devote themselves to the country's reconstruction.

They passed by some construction sites where workers were working hard, some were carrying bricks and stones, some were mixing cement. Beads of sweat glistened on their foreheads, but their eyes were shining with hope for the future.

While driving the tricycle, Yukiko Nakamori introduced the landmarks and buildings along the way to Ji Chang.

Her voice revealed her deep love and pride for this city. Ji Chang listened to her introduction and gained a deeper understanding of Tokyo.

As night falls, the streets of Tokyo gradually light up. Although the power supply is limited, the city still strives to show its vitality.

Some restaurants and teahouses started to open for business. The red lanterns hanging at the doors looked particularly warm in the night, attracting passers-by.

Ji Chang and Yukiko Nakamori returned to their rented house, which was a typical Japanese-style house with several cherry trees planted in the courtyard. Although it was not the flowering season, one could still imagine the beautiful scene here in spring.

The interior of the house is very warm and fully equipped with various living facilities.

Ji Chang knows that although Tokyo is still in the process of recovery, the city still has enormous potential and vitality.

"Mr. Ji, electricity is still in short supply here. Should we bring the power company here?" Looking at the situation in front of him, Hanaaki Uotani couldn't help but smell a business opportunity.

Under the influence of Ji Chang, Uotani Hanaaki has already developed a very good business sense and vision.

She doesn't want to study batteries anymore and thinks this matter can be solved by recruiting some people who are more knowledgeable about technology from the university.

After all, she is not particularly strong in this area, and there are many people who are better than her.

Ji Chang nodded and agreed with Uotani Hanaaki's proposal. "Your idea is very good. Electricity is the infrastructure for urban development. As the capital, Tokyo has great potential for future development. If we can establish a power company here, it will not only contribute to the development of the city, but also bring us long-term benefits."

After hearing Ji Chang's affirmation, Uotani Hanaaki became more determined in her mind. "Ji Jun, we should act as soon as possible, starting with market research to understand Tokyo's electricity demand and current electricity supply."

Ji Chang smiled slightly. He liked Uotani Hanaaki's proactive attitude. "Okay, you can take charge of this project together with Kaori. Kaori is more familiar with the situation in Tokyo. With her help, your work will go much more smoothly."

After hearing this, Yukiko Nakamori also actively expressed her willingness to participate. "Ji-kun, Yukiko and I will also go all out to help Jichang Electric Power Company gain a foothold in Tokyo."

Ji Chang looked at them with satisfaction, and was full of confidence in their ability and loyalty. "Very good, with your help, I believe that Ji Chang Electric Power Company will be able to succeed in Tokyo."

Afterwards, Ji Chang discussed some specific action plans and strategies with them. He knew that although the market potential in Tokyo was huge, the competition would also be very fierce. They needed to have a careful plan and strategy to stand out from the competition.

In the following days, Ji Chang, Yukiko Nakamori and Hanaaki Uotani conducted a series of market research and investigations in Tokyo. They visited some experts and insiders in the power industry to understand the current situation and development trend of the power market in Tokyo.

Through research, they found that the demand for electricity in Tokyo is growing rapidly, especially in commercial and residential areas. However, the existing power supply cannot fully meet this demand, and power shortages often occur.

This discovery made Ji Chang more determined to establish an electric power company in Tokyo. He knew that as long as they could provide a stable and reliable power supply, they would be able to gain a foothold in the Tokyo market.

At the same time, Ji Chang did not forget another purpose of his trip - to contact the families of the top military officials. Through some channels, he learned that some of the families of the top military officials did live in Tokyo, and some of them were very interested in the culture and life of the island country.

Ji Chang decided to adopt a more low-key and subtle way to contact these people. He attended some social activities and parties and looked for opportunities to contact the wives and daughters of these people.

However, such opportunities are not easy to come by.

In addition, it is not difficult to set up an electric power company, but it is not so easy to develop it.

Ji Chang has already asked Uotani Hanaaki to register a company, and has also slowly made use of Kitaro's identity.

That afternoon, Ji Chang walked alone on the streets of Tokyo, thinking about how to gain a deeper understanding of the city's culture and life.

As he was walking along a busy street, he suddenly heard a rapid cry for help.

"Help! Is there anyone who can help me?" A panicked female voice shouted in English. Ji Chang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young American girl surrounded by several rude men.

The girl's face was full of fear and helplessness, and she was obviously in danger.

Ji Chang did not hesitate and immediately walked forward. He said to the men in fluent English: "Let her go. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this."

When the men heard Ji Chang's words, they were obviously stunned. Then one of the leaders said viciously: "Mind your own business. This is not something you can control."

But Ji Chang was not deterred. He calmly took out some cash from his pocket and handed it to the leading man. "Take this. Let go of the girl."

"Think carefully, do you really want to do this to a white girl? Can the people behind you bear the wrath?"

When the man saw the cash, greed flashed in his eyes. After taking the money, he winked at his men, and several of them left in disappointment.

Ji Chang turned to look at the American girl and asked in a gentle tone: "Are you okay? What happened?"

The girl obviously hadn't recovered from the shock yet. She looked at Ji Chang with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you very much! I was just walking here, and then they...they started to harass me."

Ji Chang comforted her: "It's okay now. They're gone. Do you need any help?"

"These lowly people are so brainless."

The girl took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and smiled. "I'm fine now. Thank you for your help. My name is Emily. I came here with my father, he works in the army."

Ji Chang smiled and held out his hand: "Nice to meet you, Emily. My name is Ji Chang. If you need help, don't hesitate to come to me."

Emily held Ji Chang's hand and nodded: "I will. Thank you again, Ji Chang."

Ji Chang and Emily exchanged contact information, and before parting, Ji Chang reminded her: "Emily, be careful in the future. Not everyone here is as friendly as I am."

Emily looked at Ji Chang gratefully: "I'll remember that. Thank you again for your help today."

Ji Chang watched Emily leave, feeling mixed emotions.

He was a little worried that Emily might suspect that he had arranged this.

After all, in the island country, white people are the supreme beings, who dares to provoke them?
So, he felt that this matter might not be that simple.

However, things have already happened and there is nothing he can do.

A few days later, one afternoon, Ji Chang met Emily again. This time, Emily seemed to be in a good mood, and she was walking out of a cafe.

"Mr. Ji Chang, what a coincidence to meet you here!" Emily greeted Ji Chang with a smile.

Ji Chang also smiled and responded: "Miss Emily, it's nice to see you again. How are you doing recently?"

Emily shrugged and said helplessly, "It's not bad, but I always feel a little bored here. I was thinking, it would be nice if I could find something to do here."

Ji Chang asked curiously: "Miss Emily, is there anything special you want to do?"

Emily's eyes lit up. "Actually, I've always wanted to try to be a host. I think it must be fun, and I can communicate with many people and share stories."

Ji Chang's mind moved, and he thought of the commercial TV station he wanted to set up. "Miss Emily, I just have an idea. I plan to set up a commercial TV station. If you are willing, I can provide you with a host position."

Emily was very excited after hearing this: "Really? That's great! But I heard that it's not easy to set up a TV station in an island country. It requires a lot of procedures and permits."

Ji Chang nodded and admitted, "Indeed, I am currently working hard to solve these problems. However, if you join us, I believe we will be able to find a solution."

Emily thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Mr. Ji Chang, my father has some influence in the army, maybe I can help. I will talk to him and see if I can provide some help for your TV station project."

Ji Chang was secretly delighted after hearing this. If Emily's father could help, it would undoubtedly be a good opportunity. "Miss Emily, I would be very grateful if you could help me."

Emily gave a confident smile: "Mr. Ji Chang, don't worry. I will do my best to help you."

The two exchanged more detailed contact information and agreed on the next meeting time. Ji Chang knew that Emily's joining might bring a new turn for his TV station project.

In the next few days, Ji Chang continued to be busy with the affairs of the power company, while also waiting for news from Emily. He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome difficulties and achieve their goals.

A few days later, Emily called Ji Chang and told him that she had talked to her father, and her father expressed his willingness to help Ji Chang. Ji Chang was filled with gratitude and expectation after hearing this.

They agreed on a time and place to meet, and Ji Chang prepared to go with Emily to meet her father, hoping to get his support and help. Ji Chang knew that this might be a key step in realizing his dream of running a TV station.

The day that Ji Chang and Emily had agreed on arrived, and he arrived at the agreed cafe in advance in a neat suit. He was both excited and a little nervous, because this meeting was crucial to the establishment of the TV station.

Emily arrived soon after, wearing an elegant dress and a confident smile, and introduced her father to Ji Chang, a middle-aged man who looked serious but quite dignified.

"Mr. Ji Chang, this is my father. He has some influence in the military. I have mentioned your TV station plan to him, and he is willing to hear your detailed introduction." Emily said.

Ji Chang stood up, extended his hand to Emily's father, and said respectfully, "It is a great honor to meet you, sir. I am very grateful that you are willing to give me this opportunity."

Emily's father shook hands with Ji Chang, nodded, and motioned him to sit down. "Emily mentioned your plan to me, I want to hear your specific ideas and plans."

Ji Chang took a deep breath and began to present his plans for the TV station in detail, including the positioning of the station, the expected program content, the target audience, and how he planned to overcome existing obstacles.

Of course, Emily's father was also invited to invest, given some shares, and the profit model and future of commercial TV stations were discussed.

A few hundred dollars could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in investment in the future, so her father would definitely agree.
