Ning Weimin correctly realized how high the consumption level in Tokyo is.
After walking out of the airport, he spent 2,700 yen just on the airport bus ticket to go to the Japanese branch.
After driving for more than an hour, the luxury bus arrived in Shinagawa.
However, after getting off the bus, Ning Weimin had to take the bus to Hiroo, which cost another 300 yen.
In other words, he didn't even get the 10,000 yen he expected.
He spent 11,300 yen just on the way from Beijing to Pierre Cardin Japan Co., Ltd.
The transportation fee is 3,000 yen, which is equivalent to 50 yuan.
I have to say that the commuting fee in Japan is really not cheap. If you were in China, it would be enough to cover a taxi for two days.
And don’t forget, this was before the Hiroshima Agreement, when the Japanese currency was the cheapest.
If after more than a month the yen appreciates and doubles in value, Ning Weimin will have to spend twice as much.
However, we have to admit that the Tokyo street scene in this era is really prosperous.
Especially after the bus enters the six major central areas.
Along the road, you can see modern skyscrapers, trains passing by on viaducts, cars of all kinds and colors densely shuttling back and forth on the road, and vending machines filled with colorful drinks are everywhere.
Speaking of which, it really looks like the capital and Shanghai in 2020 in Ning Weimin's previous life.
Except these days, Japanese citizens are looking at pagers instead of playing with smartphones.
In addition, Tokyo doesn’t have that many big screens, there aren’t that many takeaway guys riding electric bikes, there aren’t that many shared bicycles, and there’s no way to scan QR codes to make purchases.
It can be said that Tokyo today is not much different from first-tier domestic cities thirty years from now.
This inevitably gave Ning Weimin some nostalgia for his past life.
Not to mention anything else, at least you can hail a taxi with your hand, and there are convenience stores, supermarkets, dry cleaners, fast food restaurants and hot spring hotels.
All of these are conveniences that he has not enjoyed for a long time!
What's more, judging from the overall economic and cultural development situation, today's Japan does have many ingenious similarities with the powerful motherland in Ning Weimin's memory.
You must know that Japan, which was rebuilt after the war, as a "fisherman" who benefited from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, fully enjoyed the dividends of this war.
It has entered a period of rapid development since the 1960s.
The 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1970 Osaka World Expo successfully presented the image of a modern, strong and prosperous Japan to the world.
In the 1970s, Japan entered the heyday of comprehensive prosperity in the manufacturing industry, showing the style of an era of great rule.
When the G7 Summit was held in 1983, Yasuhiro Nakasone, who attended on behalf of Japan, even occupied the front page photo of the next day.
In the group photo of the heads of state of the seven countries, Western leaders including Lee Gen and Margaret Thatcher stood on both sides of Nakasone Yasuhiro like supporting characters.
This is unprecedented for a Japanese Prime Minister to attend such a summit as the protagonist, which seems to mark that Japan, which has become a complete creditor country and the world's first-class industrialized country, has officially risen in the world with its hard power.
No matter how you look at it, it can be compared with the republic that will soon catch up with the United States in a few decades.
Don’t forget, our country began to be re-recognized by the world after the Beijing Olympics and the Shanghai World Expo.
The only difference between our country and Japan is that we not only have strength, but also pride.
She never gets used to the habit of pointing fingers at beautiful women, and dares to confront her with a pink face, slap the table and stare.
Yes, maybe the Japanese are too accustomed to having a master on their necks, and their nature is full of servility.
That's why in such a country, there is such a profession of humiliation and serving people regardless of shame.
Like custom shops, AV actresses, Kabukicho streets... they are all like this.
Especially the two letters starting with S...what are they called?
Oh my god, that kind of special big health care service is so perverted that it makes people blush just by mentioning it.
Well, so we have to understand it carefully before we can make objective criticism.
This is by no means far-fetched, it's just that we have too much sense of justice and really can't stand these Japanese women who are willing to degenerate and have no regard for their shame.
As sympathetic people as we are, shouldn’t we help them?
Just think about it irrationally and make fun of yourself.
Ning Weimin, who was dragging his suitcase like a dog, finally arrived at the office of Pierre Cardin's Tokyo branch.
It was a thirty or forty-story building, looking majestic from the bottom up.
Moreover, according to the brand logo of "Pilkaton Japan Co., Ltd.", the entire fourth floor of the building is the territory of this company.
It seems that this company has a large business volume and is rich in wealth.
It's a pity that the ground floor of this building is a garage. Ning Weimin walked up to the first floor from the main entrance and had to walk up more than 30 steps.
So this time he suffered retribution. Ning Weimin looked around and couldn't find a ramp to pull his luggage up.
He looked at his watch and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
In this situation where he was unfamiliar with the place, even if he knew that there must be a barrier-free passage, he couldn't find it anymore because he was in a hurry and couldn't delay others from getting off work.
I still have to work hard to get this big suitcase up the stairs first.
After finally getting the box into the giant metal gate, Ning Weimin, who was a little out of breath, made a wise decision. He wanted to exercise.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have such conditions in China. There are gyms in Tokyo. He might as well spend some money to improve his physical condition. This is also a necessary investment.
Even if he wants to be Ximen Qing, he must at least be someone who can kill Wu Song. That would be safe.
On the fourth floor, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Ning Weimin faced the two girls at the reception desk of Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd.
And before he could even speak as he walked over, the other party already knew who he was.
If nothing else, Ning Weimin, who had just arrived, was not used to the Japanese way of saying hello.
The Yamato nation is a nation that likes to bow to other people's butts.
In this situation, even greetings would be a fifteen-degree bow.
The way Ning Weimin smiled casually and extended his hand to say "hello" was actually a sign of impoliteness and made him look like a foreigner at first glance.
What's more, he also carried a large suitcase with him and a large leather bag slung across his body.
Then how come the front desk lady who knew that a Chinese man would come to the company today couldn't guess who he was?
However, even if you recognize it, you will still be surprised.
Because today I learned that Ning Weimin was coming to report.
The two front desk ladies in charge of reception were very curious about the Chinese man they were about to meet.
Unfortunately, the superior who told them about this matter didn't know much about the situation, and there was no need to provide the two subordinates with such specific information.
This made the two front desk ladies only know the person and had no specific impression of Ning Weimin.
According to the information they had, they only knew that Ning Weimin worked in the China branch and was deeply trusted by Pierre Cardon himself. He was a very capable and highly regarded operational talent.
This time I went to Japan with the hope of opening a restaurant in Tokyo.
So according to this statement, the two young ladies always thought that Ning Weimin was a mature and steady leader in his thirties.
It might even look a little greasy.
As a result, when they finally met him in person, the two front desk ladies looked at each other in confusion.
This... this is too young.
Moreover, it’s so refreshing! So handsome!
As a result, I suddenly didn’t know how to say what I had prepared.
"Are you Ning Sang? You're a liar, right?"
Faced with the unconcealable surprise of the two young Japanese girls, Ning Weimin, who had already noticed that their moods were different, showed a standard smile.
He looks more and more elegant, with red lips and white teeth.
"Hi! Vata Sivaningwei Mindaisi...this is the first time we meet, please take care of me."
Then he used his best silver bullet offensive, socializing with gifts.
He opened his leather bag and immediately took out two small brocade boxes and placed them on the front desk.
"It's a small thing, please don't take it personally."
"Huh? Did you give it to us?"
Ning Weimin, who has always known how to build relationships and never ignore people at the bottom, made the two front desk ladies unbelievable and full of doubts.
Although the Japanese are the nation that likes to give gifts the most, they are very popular in giving gifts regardless of business or personal matters.
But as they hold the lowest positions in the company, and they are female employees, they have no chance to receive gifts at all.
What's more, the two brocade boxes are so beautiful. They were originally products used by the brocade box factory to package bracelets. They look very classy.
Of course they would have doubts about whether Ning Weimin had made a mistake.
"It doesn't matter. I'm here to cause trouble to everyone. Please accept it."
Ning Weimin repeatedly gave in, and finally the two girls plucked up the courage, but unfortunately they soon lost their courage.
Because according to Japanese traditional habits, gifts are opened on the spot, and they need to be praised to make the giver happy.
As a result, the two girls were stunned as soon as they opened it, and even forgot to perform this basic courtesy.
If nothing else, the main thing Ning Weimin gave him was the small mirror he had ordered from the Beijing Lacquerware Factory.
The traditional craftsmanship of Beijing is used, the wood carving is exquisite, and the red color is dazzling.
And when you open it, one of the two mirrors inside also has a frosted Pierre Cardon logo.
In addition, Japanese lacquerware itself is expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of yen.
No matter how you look at it, this small mirror seems to be extremely valuable, high-end and elegant.
Are these two girls still suspicious or worried?
They all felt that this gift was too expensive and a complete luxury.
Love is true love, but I dare not accept it.
So in the end, it was not just Ning Weimin's first visit that he felt how advanced the Japanese company was.
Instead, he took the lead and surprised the two Japanese girls with his grace and gifts, making them two more fans.
As the saying goes, if you don't come, pretend, but if you come, pretend.
