In the evening in Ginza, Tokyo, the neon lights flash, dazzling, and the lights are brilliant.
But these are just the surface. Ginza at this time is already different from the past.
There are far fewer tourists on the streets than in normal years, and the crowds are no longer as crowded as before.
The largest number are tourists from all over the world, and the streets are basically full of Japanese.
People walking on the streets all wore masks and were careful to keep their distance from other people.
In addition, it is winter now, the weather is quite cold, and there are not many people shopping.
Due to the current special situation, many shopping malls and shops on both sides of the street have closed down and have signs of transfer.
There are also some stores that have not gone bankrupt but have chosen to temporarily close due to lack of customers and bleak business.
Due to the superposition of multiple factors, Ginza at this time seemed somewhat deserted.
Of course, this is only relative.
Compared to other business districts in Tokyo, as well as shopping streets in most countries and regions, the situation here is much better.
After coming out of the hotel, Xiao Ran and the others immediately joined the crowd and strolled along the street.
While traveling, they chatted and admired the scenery on the streets of Ginza.
Including Xiao Ran, several guys who came to Tokyo for the first time had a bit of curiosity in their eyes.
"I have to say that this place is indeed quite prosperous. The whole street is brightly lit, dazzling, prosperous and fashionable."
"And the security here is very good. It's not like Fifth Avenue and Rodeo Street, where there are boards nailed everywhere."
David said with emotion.
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and nodded.
"Tokyo's Ginza is known as one of the three top commercial streets in the world, as famous as New York's Fifth Avenue and Paris' Champs Elysées. It is certainly very prosperous."
"This is also a commercial landmark built by the Japanese government with all its efforts. It is one of the symbols of Japan's prosperity and a veritable shopping paradise."
"As for public security, the social security in several East Asian countries is good. There are no zero-dollar shopping activities here, so there is no need to nail boards outside the stores."
David nodded, then smiled and said:
"Yes! There are no zero-yuan shopping activities in Japan, and social security seems to be good."
"But the underworld can exist legally in Japan. It's such a weird country!"
"Hahaha, it's really weird."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
While they were chatting, many people on the street looked at them curiously.
The group of them is so eye-catching that even if they stand still on the street, they will attract a lot of attention.
Like the Japanese people I met inside and outside the hotel, most of the Japanese people on the street also behaved very respectfully.
During the march, some Japanese people who encountered Xiao Ran and others would often bow and step aside.
Regardless of whether they are justified or not, these Japanese people will basically bow and say sorry, and actively move out of the way to let Xiao Ran and others go first.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran and the others understood it in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, this is the Japanese people's strong-willed mentality at work!
Seeing Xiao Ran and his group, especially the momentum they showed!
Many Japanese people unconsciously put themselves in the position of the weak and take the initiative to show weakness and give in.
Then he stepped aside and let Xiao Ran and others go first.
Some people may say that this is a sign of politeness among Japanese people.
But in Xiao Ran's view, this was a sign of cowardice, even a bit of servility!
Combined with David's identity as Americans, this feeling becomes even stronger!
While looking at Xiao Ran and his group curiously, some people on the street seemed to have discovered something.
But they were not sure and could only guess secretly.
Some of the curious guys even followed up and kept looking at Xiao Ran and the others.
While following, these guys also took out their mobile phones and looked up something on the Internet.
After a while, some of them got the definite answer.
After recognizing Xiao Ran, these guys' eyes lit up with excitement.
Some guys even quickly posted the news about Xiao Ran's appearance in Tokyo on social media.
Also sent out at the same time were photos of Xiao Ran and his group, which were basically back views.
Xiao Ran and the others were all aware of these things happening around them.
But they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't stop or interfere with the actions of those Japanese young people.
There is no point in doing that. The news that Xiao Ran arrived in Tokyo with a group of subordinates cannot be concealed for long.
In fact, many people in Japan have received the news and are targeting them.
While talking, Xiao Ran and the others had reached a crossroads.
When we got here, the red light at the intersection happened to turn on, and everyone stopped.
Xiao Ran and the others also stopped at the street corner.
While stopping, Xiao Ran and David looked up together and looked at the large-screen TV on the outer wall of a building opposite the intersection.
Not only Xiao Ran and the others, almost everyone at this intersection was looking at the big TV screen.
The big TV screen was showing the exterior of the White House in Washington.
At this time in the United States, it was just after seven o'clock in the morning, not even eight o'clock.
Although it was still early, reporters from the United States and around the world were already crowding outside the White House.
The reporters held up their guns and cannons one after another and took pictures of the White House.
Many of the TV reporters had already set up their cameras and were broadcasting live.
Outside the White House, there were armed police and armed forces everywhere, and they had already surrounded the White House.
Because of the previous riots at the Capitol, the U.S. military and police around the White House were all on high alert.
In the TV footage, you can even see many armored personnel carriers, just like a battlefield.
Today is the day when the new president of the United States is sworn in and leads the new government to power.
The focus of almost all news media around the world is on the White House and the incoming new US president and government.
As a junior brother or lackey of the United States, the Japanese government and people are naturally very concerned about this important matter.
Of course, many people, including Xiao Ran, wished that there would be some big trouble in the United States today.
It would be great if Wang's supporters could breach the White House and ruin the presidential inauguration.
Unfortunately, as things stand right now, the chances of this happening are very low!
Those who support the King of Understanding have been suppressed for the time being, and it will be difficult for them to make any big waves in the short term.
While watching the live TV broadcast, Xiao Ran was also chatting quietly with David.
"David, after the new president takes office, I wonder if he will target me and the company?"
"You know, that crazy old woman in the House of Representatives has never been able to deal with me."
Hearing this, David couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Probably not. Since Joseph has accepted your charitable donation, he will not target you."
"For both parties in the United States, this is an unwritten rule that cannot be broken easily."
"If Joseph breaks this rule, it will definitely have a very bad impact."
"Whoever donates to his foundation and the Donkey Party in the future will have a lot more worries."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and was about to speak out.
At this moment, a string of broken English suddenly came from a few meters away.
"Good evening, Mr. Sean, excuse me, is it you? I didn't admit my mistake, did I?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately stopped talking and turned his head to look over.
The person who asked was a Japanese man in his early twenties, who looked like a college student.
Next to this guy, there are several other guys of the same age, both male and female.
Without exception, these guys were all excited and looking at Xiao Ran with bright eyes.
As the boy asked the question, many people around him looked over.
The moment they saw Xiao Ran, some people were still confused.
But some other guys' eyes were shining with excitement.
Xiao Ran had no intention of hiding his identity, and there was no need for it.
He looked at the guy who asked, then smiled and nodded.
"Good evening, guys, yes, I'm Sean, nice to meet you."
Before he finished speaking, the Japanese students immediately jumped three feet high and cheered excitedly.
"Oh my God! It's indeed Mr. Sean, let me tell you I saw it right!"
"It's great. I didn't expect to see Mr. Sean in Tokyo. He is a legendary figure!"
With this burst of cheers, everyone else around them recognized Xiao Ran.
The next moment, the cheers at the scene suddenly became louder, mixed with one after another applause.
The eyes of other people at the intersection were all drawn over, and they all looked at this side curiously.
In the blink of an eye, everyone else knew.
The most amazing man in the past year actually appeared in Tokyo, right next to me at this intersection in Ginza.
After confirming this, more people cheered loudly.
While cheering, some passers-by, including several college students, tried to come up and chat with Xiao Ran.
However, Anthony and the others stood around Xiao Ran and shook their heads firmly to stop the Japanese.
Those guys could only stop and ask questions at the top of their lungs.
"Good evening, Mr. Sean, the series of miracles you have created are incredible! Breathtaking!"
"Mr. Sean, you are my idol, can you give me an autograph? If you can take a photo with me, I will be extremely grateful!"
"Good evening, Mr. Sean, may I ask, why did you come to Japan and appear in Tokyo? Did you discover an unknown treasure in Tokyo?"
With these questions, the scene suddenly became more and more lively.
Especially the few questions about the treasure instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.
Hearing that Xiao Ran might be here for a treasure somewhere, the Japanese at the scene suddenly became even more excited.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he smiled and shook his head, and then said loudly:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Sean, nice to see you all here"
"We came to Japan this time just for sightseeing, not for any treasures."
"Japan's antique art collection market is very developed and prosperous. It would be great if I can gain something from this trip."
While talking, the green light at the intersection turned on.
Xiao Ran made a few random remarks, and then walked to the opposite side of the road with David and the others.
As they were marching, David whispered:
"I can tell, Sean, you are very well-known in Japan, and you have a lot of fans who like you!"
Xiao Ran glanced at the Japanese around him, and then whispered:
"In a few days, I hope these Japanese people will still like me!"
"Hahaha, it must be difficult!"
David just laughed.
