Reborn Industrial Tycoon
Chapter 245: Lick the dog and cry (two in one)
After walking out of Narita Airport and getting on the bus bound for Tokyo, Li Weidong looked out through the window. Everything was the same as he remembered, with basically no changes.
"It's like this every time I come here!" Li Weidong sighed in his heart.
In his previous life, Li Weidong worked as a trainee in Japan for three years, and his workplace at that time was in Tokyo. Later, Li Weidong became rich and prosperous, and he traveled to Tokyo many times, but every time he came, Tokyo was the same, nothing.
change.
The streets, buildings, layout, and even the signboards are all the same as in the past. The only thing that has changed is that the hair of the ramen shop uncle has turned white.
Cities in China may change slightly in two or three years, but may change drastically in seven or eight years. If you revisit the same place after more than ten years, it will be completely different.
However, Japanese cities have not changed in forty years.
For a middle-aged Japanese, he can go back to his elementary school, junior high school or high school from time to time to reminisce about the ignorant and youthful time and look at the place where he stayed twenty years ago. Nothing has changed.
For a middle-aged Chinese, his elementary school, junior high school or high school may have been demolished, and those old buildings have become brand-new buildings. Everything in the past has changed. There are no memories or remembrances.
Even the appearance of first love is blurred.
Li Weidong was lamenting that Japan would not change much in decades, while other people on the bus were looking at the outside of the bus with curious expressions, and occasionally exclaimed in surprise, lamenting Japan's development.
Ye Jun sat behind He An'an and continued to express his gratitude.
"An'an, oh, no, what translator, look over there, the Tokyo Tower is in that direction. This Tokyo Tower is the tallest tower in the world, taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris!
Ueno Park is right over there. Ueno Park is the first park in Japan and has existed since the shogunate period. Didn’t Mr. Lu Xun mention the cherry blossoms in Ueno? That’s where he was talking about!
There is also Sensoji Temple near Ueno Park, which is also a famous attraction in Tokyo. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo, and there are many shops that have been preserved from the Edo period around it. I will take you to have a look after I finish what I am doing!"
Although Ye Jun has only been to Tokyo once, he turned into a "Tokyo expert" at this time, constantly introducing Tokyo's attractions to He An'an.
As for He Anan, he simply took out a Walkman and plugged his ears with earphones.
Li Weidong, who was not far away, smiled and thought to himself that this Ye Jun was really stingy. He only introduced free attractions and was reluctant to spend even a ticket to pick up girls.
Soon after, everyone arrived at their residence, a relatively cheap hotel with small rooms and outdated facilities.
After all, land is precious in Tokyo. For Chinese people born in the 1990s, hotel accommodation in Tokyo was indeed relatively expensive, so they could only stay in such cheap hotels.
Li Weidong estimated that a night's stay in a small shabby room in this cheap hotel would cost more than 2,000 yen, which is higher than the monthly salary of an ordinary Chinese person.
After settling in, everyone had lunch together, each with a bento. Li Weidong knew at a glance that he bought it from a convenience store.
Japanese people eat relatively simple lunches. Many students or married office workers bring lunch boxes at home. If they don’t bring lunch boxes, quick lunch boxes from convenience stores are also a good choice.
Those izakayas suitable for parties basically only open at five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Even if you want to have a group dinner at noon, there is no place.
The others tasted the Japanese lunch box with curiosity. Li Weidong took a few bites hastily, and then found the phone to contact Xizhi Electric.
Li Weidong proposed that he hoped to meet with President Tanaka, the head of Xizhi, but the other party said that President Tanaka was very busy at work, and if he wanted to see President Tanaka, he needed to make an appointment in advance.
So Li Weidong had no choice but to make an appointment to meet with President Tanaka at the headquarters of Nishizhiba at 2 p.m. three days later.
…
After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Xie Hui called Li Weidong over alone.
"Director Li, I know that you came to Tokyo to discuss business with Xizhi Electric, so I won't call you for the next group activities. You can move freely," Xie Hui said.
"Thank you so much." Li Weidong said immediately.
Xie Huize continued: "But, we are a group after all. We are in a foreign country. If the members of the group act alone, they must also pay attention to safety, so you have to report to Old Tang every day so that we can confirm your safety."
.”
"No problem." Li Weidong nodded: "I will report to Director Tang every day."
Xie Hui pondered for a moment and then said: "If you encounter any difficulties over there, you can come to me and let's discuss it together. We at the Foreign Trade Department also have some connections in Tokyo. In addition to Japanese companies,
In addition, I also know several local Chinese and overseas Chinese groups who may be able to help."
Li Weidong nodded again: "If there is any progress on my side, I will report to you as soon as possible."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Li Weidong said goodbye and left.
Of course, Li Weidong couldn't stay in the room all the time. He was familiar with Tokyo, so he planned to walk around.
When I walked to the door, I happened to see He Anan holding a Tokyo subway map in his hand, looking at it in trance.
Tokyo has the most dense rail transit in the world. The Tokyo subway map is like a spider web, densely packed. Most people will definitely be confused when they see it for the first time.
He Anan is like this now, holding the subway map with a confused look on her face. Although she can understand the Japanese place names on it, looking at the densely packed subway lines, she feels like she is trapped in a maze, and she suddenly feels dizzy.
He An'an went to college in Beijing, so he naturally took the subway. At that time, Beijing's subway lines 1 and 2 had just been connected, and there was no comparison with the Tokyo subway network.
Li Weidong walked to He An'an and asked, "Translator He, are you planning to go out for a walk?"
He Anan nodded and said with some hesitation: "I want to see the Ueno Park, the one written by Mr. Lu Xun."
"To go to Ueno, you have to take the G line, which is this one!" Li Weidong pointed to the orange line on the subway map, and then continued; "Look, we are here now, so we should take the subway from here.
, and then sit here and transfer..."
Li Weidong immediately pointed out the subway transfer route to Ueno.
He Anan looked at Li Weidong in surprise and asked, "Director Li, you are very familiar with Tokyo's subway lines. Have you been to Tokyo before?"
"Of course I haven't been here before. This is my first time going abroad!" Li Weidong shook his head and continued, "I just studied the transfer route to Ueno by looking at the map. But I think Ueno Park is also
There’s nothing worth seeing.”
"Why?" He Anan asked.
"Japan is such a big place, how can the natural scenery compare with that of China! If it is the cherry blossom season, you can go to Ueno Park to enjoy cherry blossoms, but on weekdays, the scenery in Ueno Park is just ordinary, maybe
It's not as good as Haidian Park!" Li Weidong said with a smile.
Li Weidong is telling the truth. If you look at natural scenery, a small country like Japan cannot compare to China. From the frigid zone to the tropics, what kind of natural scenery does China not have? Just pick out any province and it can beat a small country.
It's a small country, but it's a big place without so many magnificent mountains and rivers. If there is a dirt bag, it is regarded as a famous mountain, and if there is a puddle, it is regarded as a lake.
Therefore, it is quite a loss to travel to small countries to see the natural scenery. The natural scenery in these countries can be found in China, and it is even more magnificent.
He Anan thought for a while and felt that what Li Weidong said made sense. She subconsciously asked: "Then where should I go?"
"When I come to Japan, of course I want to see some things with Japanese characteristics that we can't see in China." Li Weidong replied.
"For example?" He Anan asked with wide eyes.
Li Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Sensoji Temple is worth seeing. After all, it still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period and is considered a very Japanese attraction.
If you go to Ueno, you might as well visit Toshogu Shrine in Ueno. There is also a National Museum in Ueno, which contains a lot of cultural relics.
Another option is to go to the Ryogoku Arena and watch a sumo match. This thing originally originated in China, but now it has become the quintessence of Japan and can only be seen in Tokyo."
"Sumo wrestling? Are they just those big fat guys without clothes? I won't watch that!" He Anan's face turned slightly red.
For Chinese women of that era, it was indeed quite embarrassing to watch sumo wrestling with their big butts exposed.
Li Weidong smiled and then introduced: "Actually, I think you should go to Shibuya. It is the most prosperous and energetic place in Tokyo. It is the most elite area of modern Japan and the place where young people are.
of heaven!”
"Shibuya?" He Anan looked down at the subway route map in his hand and began to look for the location of Shibuya.
"How about I take you there? I also plan to go shopping in Shibuya!" Li Weidong said.
He Anan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
After all, in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place, it is safer to have gay men you know by your side.
…
In the subway station, He Anan stood in front of the ticket vending machine with a curious look on his face.
At this time, domestic subways still sell tickets manually, while Tokyo's subways have already used automatic ticket vending machines.
Seeing He An'an's curious expression, Li Weidong handed the coin in his hand to He An'an's hand, and then said, "Come and try?"
He Anan nodded, and under Li Weidong's guidance, he learned to use the automatic ticket vending machine to buy subway tickets.
Soon after, a row of vending machines attracted He Anan's attention.
"Is this a vending machine?" He Anan walked forward and stared at the products inside curiously.
"What do you want to drink? I'll treat you!" Li Weidong generously took out the coins and stuffed them into the vending machine.
He Anan looked at the price of the drinks, 100 to 200 yen, which is equivalent to 5 to 10 yuan in RMB, and shook his head: "It's too expensive, the cheapest one is worth a day's salary."
"The money has been stuffed in and I can't get it out. Choose one!" Li Weidong pointed to the vending machine.
He Anan pressed one of the buttons, and a bottle of drink rolled out of the vending machine. Then he took out his wallet: "Then I'll give you the money back."
"No, don't forget, I am a rich man! I can sell products worth tens of millions of dollars a year!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.
"Local tycoon?" He An'an thought about the word for a moment and understood that it referred to rich people. Then she started laughing. She thought the word was very interesting.
This smile was so sweet that Li Weidong was a little crazy looking at it.
He An'an also noticed that Li Weidong opposite was staring at her absentmindedly. Although she often encountered this situation, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she was stared at like this.
To demonstrate the embarrassment, He Anan stopped smiling and lowered his head to open the drink.
Li Weidong also felt that staring at the little girl like an old pervert just now was really embarrassing and went against his own positive role.
So Li Weidong coughed dryly and wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but found that he didn't know what to say.
The two of them fell into silence at the same time, which made it even more awkward.
"there……"
"this……"
The next second, the two people spoke at the same time, but stopped talking at the same time. They both wanted to find a topic to break this awkward situation, but they ended up crashing.
Immediately afterwards, the two said in unison: "You go ahead and say it!"
"Then let me talk first..."
Again in unison.
"You better say it first!"
Still speaking in unison.
This old plot from the idol drama twenty years ago made the two fall into silence again. They stared at each other, as if waiting for the other to speak first.
A man and a woman just looked at each other, and the atmosphere instantly turned from awkward to ambiguous.
Finally, He Anan spoke again. She pointed to a vending machine next to her and asked, "What does this vending machine sell?"
Li Weidong knew that He Anan was looking for a topic to end this awkward and ambiguous look at each other, so he immediately replied: "This is selling... um..."
Li Weidong glanced at the products in the vending machine and stopped talking immediately.
This is a vending machine that sells condoms.
He Anan is a simple little girl and has obviously never seen such a thing.
"Why is this thing? Why do Japanese vending machines have everything? How should I explain it to her!"
Li Weidong pondered for a moment, tried to put on a serious expression, and said, "This is a family planning product!"
"Family planning supplies?" He Anan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what these were.
The next second, He Anan blushed. At this time, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
A young girl pointed at a pile of condoms and asked a strong young man what they were. It was so embarrassing!
Li Weidong laughed and changed the subject: "There are many special food shops near Shibuya, such as steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised
Pig, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, bacon, pineapple, belly, dried meat, sausage... none of them!"
"Puch..." He Anan was amused by Li Weidong and laughed again.
…
Perhaps because Li Weidong saw his most embarrassing moment, He Anan, whose aloof goddess image collapsed, showed her true side, and the distance between the two became much closer.
The original title prefixes of "Director Li" and "Translator He" have disappeared and become directly "you" and "I". At most, "hello" is added.
The topics we talked about each other became more numerous. We no longer just talked about Tokyo, but talked about our own lives.
In this way, the two of them came to Shibuya area talking and laughing.
Even in later generations, Shibuya was the most prosperous area in Tokyo. In 1990, when Japan's economy was at its peak, Shibuya was even more lively.
In Shibuya, boutiques, coffee houses, cinemas, clubs, and bars are intertwined with each other, showing a modern urban version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
Trendy, bold and alternative, you will not be regarded as an alien here. It is full of popular elements and surrounded by fashionable boys and girls.
After World War II, Japan’s most representative modern culture gathered here.
And these are fatally attractive to young people!
Li Weidong is naturally not surprised by this. He has seen them all that are more fashionable or alternative.
However, He Anan felt that this place was simply another world, a world that she could not even imagine!
"Look over there, she's so dark, and why is he dressed like that? The skirt is so short!" He Anan looked at a beautifully dressed girl not far away.
Li Weidong turned his head and looked around. She was a woman with dark skin. Obviously, the normal skin color was not like this. The dark skin was caused by tanning. This kind of "skin tanning" was very popular among non-mainstream people at the time.
Looking at her clothes, this woman should be a high school student. She wears a baggy knitted sweater on her upper body, a very short JK plaid skirt on her lower body, and thick socks on her feet. She has dyed brown hair, typical of the hot girl style of the 1990s.
.
"This is called ギャル." Li Weidong replied.
"ギャル, what does "set" mean? I never learned this word in school." He Anan asked.
Li Weidong smiled and explained: "Of course your professor will not teach you this word. This word means hot girl, which evolved from English girl. In Japan, hot girl style is a kind of dress that fashionable girls flock to."
He Anan nodded suddenly, then he looked at Li Weidong with big eyes and said doubtfully: "I found out, how come you know everything? Have you never been to Tokyo?"
"You haven't eaten pork, and you haven't seen pigs running away! There are Japanese customers among my customers, and this is all what I heard from them." Li Weidong continued; "My Japanese customer also said that there is a sushi restaurant nearby that tastes very good.
Not bad, I’ll take you to try it later.”
"Sushi, isn't it expensive?" He Anan seemed a little hesitant.
"I told you, I'm a rich man! There's a saying..." Li Weidong pretended to be thoughtful, and then said: "I remembered, that's what it said, rich man, let's be friends!
So now you are a friend of the wealthy!"
…
Japanese people tend to have a rich breakfast, but unfortunately, Li Weidong and the others stayed in a cheap hotel. This kind of economical cheap hotel only provided milk and bread for breakfast.
Li Weidong was neither full nor well-fed. He felt it was necessary to go to a convenience store. The breakfast sold in the convenience store should be more delicious than milk bread.
Beside them, Director Tang, Director Jiang and others were eating with gusto.
"Director Li, why don't you eat? Do you have a poor appetite?" Director Tang asked with concern on his face.
"Maybe he's just acclimatized!" Li Weidong replied, he couldn't say that he was going to open a small stove later.
"Director Li, this is not okay. You didn't come back for dinner last night. If you don't eat more in the morning, you will be hungry twice." Director Tang said.
"It's okay, I'm young and strong, I can resist hunger!" Li Weidong said, stood up, and continued: "You guys eat slowly, I will go out for a few steps first, maybe it will help digestion, and I will have an appetite to eat!
"
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he turned around and left the restaurant. He went to the convenience store to open a small stove.
Director Jiang next to him looked at Li Weidong's leaving figure and said, "Xiao He didn't come back for dinner last night, right? Is he acclimated? You young people are not as good as me, an old man.
You guys are not acclimated to the local environment, you should eat and drink as usual!"
After hearing this, Ye Jun, the licking dog, immediately approached He Anan and asked, "Anan, are you feeling unwell?"
Of course He Anan couldn't say that he and Li Wendong had a sushi dinner in Shibuya last night.
He An'an didn't want to pay attention to Ye Jun's licking, she said coldly "I'm fine" and left the restaurant.
As soon as I walked out of the restaurant, I saw Li Weidong standing not far away, holding a Tokyo sightseeing map in his hand.
Li Weidong also saw He Anan and asked, "Are you full so soon?"
"I don't want to eat it." He Anan pouted.
Li Weidong instantly guessed that Ye Jun, the licking dog, was causing trouble again.
"That's because you haven't eaten enough! Let's go, I'll take you out to eat. The convenience store on the corner should sell breakfast!" Li Weidong pointed to the Tokyo sightseeing map in his hand, and then said; "After breakfast, let's go to Disneyland
Bar!"
…
In the evening, Li Weidong and He Anan were walking side by side on the sidewalk. He Anan was holding a Mickey Mouse plush doll in her hand. This was an authentic Disney souvenir that Li Weidong bought for her.
"I really don't understand that such a Mickey Mouse, which has nothing special about it, can be sold so expensively!" He Anan complained while hugging Mickey Mouse.
"Because this is genuine!" Li Weidong continued: "There was a legend circulating in the world. If you were unfortunate enough to be stranded on a desert island, you could draw a Mickey Mouse on the beach and you would be saved."
"Why?" He Anan asked with a puzzled look.
"Because Disney will travel thousands of miles to catch you and then sue you for infringing on their intellectual property rights!" Li Weidong replied.
Hearing this answer, He Anan was amused again.
Li Weidong continued: "Don't think this is just a joke, Disney is a famous copyright maniac!"
"Copyright maniac?" He Anan was intrigued by this novel title.
Li Weidong continued: "In 1987, graduates of a Japanese elementary school drew Mickey Mouse in the school's swimming pool as a graduation commemoration. After Disney found out, they immediately asked the school to delete the Mickey Mouse design.
Also at the 1989 Oscars, a singer sang on stage wearing Snow White’s clothes. Disney thought this infringed on their copyright, and then sued the singer!”
These stories about bad streets in the future Internet are not only novel, but also have a fantasy color for little girls in the 1990s.
A meme from the internet age, perfect for picking up girls from 1990!
…
He Anan didn't go to dinner again, which made Ye Jun worried.
But Ye Jun prepared a trump card, which was a box of Jianweixiaoshi tablets, which he ordered after visiting several overseas Chinese friends during the day.
At this time, Ye Jun was standing at the door of the hotel, looking into the distance, planning to hand over the Jianweixiaoshi tablets to He Anan.
"With this Jianweixiaoshi tablet, An An can eat! If she knew that I specially got the Jianweixiaoshi tablet for her, she would be very touched!"
I have to say, Ye Jun is really a straight man!
Ye Jun was looking forward to a better future, and He Anan also appeared in Ye Jun's sight.
It's just that it's not just He An'an, there's also Li Weidong beside her!
"Why is Li Weidong here too!" Ye Jun suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
He Anan and Li Weidong were talking and laughing, and they looked very close, which caught Ye Jun's eyes.
At this time, He An'an didn't look at all acclimatized!
Ye Jun remembered what Director Jiang said at breakfast that neither He Anan nor Li Weidong had dinner last night. When he saw the scene in front of him, he understood instantly.
These two people didn't have dinner, they were obviously looking for a place to have dinner together!
Ye Jun felt sour in his heart, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.
The licking dog was so angry that he cried!
