Chapter 150: Toyo Electric Power, Crisis in Chinatown

Chinatown in Tokyo, Japan, is like a shining pearl inlaid in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, exuding a strong Chinese style, attracting tourists and local residents from all over the world to explore and appreciate it.

On both sides of the street, there are antique archways with red pillars, golden tiles, and flying eaves and corners, making people feel as if they are dreaming of returning to China.

Under the neon lights, various Chinese signs are arranged in an orderly manner, flashing an attractive light. Whether it is "Old Beijing Noodles with Soy Sauce", "Sichuan Spicy Hot Pot", "Shanghai Xiaolongbao", "Guangdong Roasted Meat", there is everything, which makes people dazzled and salivate.

The air is filled with tempting food aromas, mixed with the charred fragrance of barbecue, the deliciousness of seafood, and the sweetness of various desserts, interweaving into an enticing symphony.

Walking along the street, among the bustling crowd, there are local Japanese tourists, Chinese tourists, and friends from all over the world. Everyone's face is filled with excitement and curiosity.

Suddenly, a "click!" sound destroyed the harmonious atmosphere!

Inside Hu Yongtao's clinic, Zhang Siya stood behind the counter, frowning slightly, and shouted towards the attic: "Uncle, come down quickly and take a look. It seems that the power has tripped. This clinic is so dark. What should we do?"

In the attic, a calm middle-aged male voice sounded, with a soothing tone: "Si Ya, don't worry, I will transform into 'Electric Man' and come quickly!"

At the same time, in Luo Hao's Chinese restaurant not far away, it was also pitch black. The diners looked at each other, lost interest in continuing to enjoy the delicious food, and hurriedly paid the bill and left, leaving behind tables of untouched delicacies.

In the kitchen, Li Yuexiu was in a panic and called out anxiously: "Luo Hao, go and see what's going on?

Did the circuit breaker trip?

The power outage at dinner time means our business is going to be ruined!"

"Got it, Mom!"

Luo Hao responded and quickly ran out of the store. He looked around and was shocked - it turned out that this was not a simple power outage, the entire Chinatown was in a power outage.

On the streets, the originally bustling tourists began to become anxious. Some of them looked down at their mobile phones, some asked people around them about the situation, but most people chose to quicken their pace and leave this place that had lost its luster.

Those once bright neon signs are now just silent outlines, forming a sharp contrast with the blood-red setting sun in the sky, adding a sense of desolation.

Aunt Li from the laundry next door was even more anxious. She kept rubbing her apron with her hands and lamented, "Oh, it really is raining cats and dogs!

If there is a power outage, I'm afraid all my orders will be cancelled.

Fengheyuan's tablecloths are waiting to be used tomorrow, and if so many of them are left unwashed, how can my small shop afford the compensation if I delay their important event?"

In Chinatown, at some point, a group of men in black suits and with neat hairstyles quietly appeared. They were busy shuttling between the streets and alleys, firmly sticking notices on the walls.

The behavior of these men in suits with buzz cuts reveals a strong gang atmosphere. If you have ever been in the underworld, you can tell the gang background of these guys at a glance.

The appearance of the notice was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

The neighbors gathered around the black words that suddenly appeared on the paper.

Someone in the crowd cleared his throat and read the content of the notice aloud:

“【Important Notice】Chinatown is about to undergo a historic transformation. We will initiate a large-scale demolition and reconstruction project, aiming to transform this place into a world-class integrated commercial complex that integrates commerce, entertainment, sightseeing, and leisure.

For the original owners of Chinatown, we will provide a generous and reasonable compensation plan.

Please tell each other and join in the fun.

——A note from Toyo Electric Power"

As the content was revealed, the atmosphere in the crowd instantly became tense and boiling.

Everyone was talking about it and the mood was gradually heating up.

"How can this be possible! Several generations of us have lived here and rely on our small shop to support our families. On what basis can they just demolish it?" an uncle shouted indignantly, expressing his serious dissatisfaction.

"Yes! Uncle Lin is right, this is simply cutting off our livelihood!" An aunt stepped forward, her eyes slightly red, and her tone was sonorous, "Several generations of our family have poured their hard work into this street. We can't let them destroy it so easily no matter what!"

The crowd around echoed the sentiment, with almost no one in favor of the demolition plan.

Chinatown, a place that carries the memories and dreams of countless Chinese families, is no longer just a simple street.

It is the root of their lives, the sustenance of their emotions, and the home that they are unwilling to give up no matter what.

In the following days, although the calmness of the past was restored on the surface, the undercurrent hidden beneath the calm indicated that Chinatown would soon face unprecedented challenges and struggles.

About a week passed in a flash, and Chinatown once again welcomed those people in black suits and neat crew cuts.

Unlike the last time when they were silent, this time they had a clear goal. They went into each store one by one, bringing with them compensation agreements for eviction, trying to persuade the owners to sign.

Although these visitors were smiling and speaking sincerely, the merchants in Chinatown seemed to have built an indestructible line of defense.

No matter how attractive the compensation terms offered by Toyo Electric Power were, the owners of Chinatown chose to reject them without hesitation.

Their attitude was resolute and unified, without the slightest wavering.

In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Although representatives of Toyo Electric Power took turns trying to convince people with reason or appeal to their emotions, the owners of Chinatown always stood firm in their stance and remained unmoved.

In the following period, many unfamiliar faces began to appear in Chinatown. After entering the stores to consume, they would conflict with the merchants for various reasons and then make a big deal out of it.

Tourists and consumers who came to Chinatown to shop, upon seeing conflicts between store owners and customers, all stood up and fled, and this kind of incident quickly spread in Chinatown.

The originally harmonious business atmosphere was shattered, and the prosperous scene of Chinatown was gone forever.

What’s worse is that power outages have become the norm in Chinatown, causing great inconvenience to the lives of residents and merchants.

Those bad youths roam around Chinatown like ghosts, breaking into stores from time to time to cause trouble and beating up tourists, making this historic street feel completely unsafe.

Whenever the police arrived after receiving a call, the bad youths always disappeared in time, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and the screams of the victims.

What is even more infuriating is that when the police arrive at the scene, they often scold the residents of Chinatown indiscriminately, making the already exhausted people even more disheartened.

As a result, business in Chinatown has plummeted. The once bustling streets are now deserted, and merchants are facing an unprecedented survival crisis.

The entire Chinatown was shrouded in an ominous cloud, and the air was filled with despair and helplessness.
