Author: quiet thoughts

In the New Year of 1984, Hongchuan Feng did not return to his hometown in Akita.

Not only did he deny it, but even Kazuko, Benikawa Hayato and the others did not return to Akita County.

Because of the births of Little Qingkong and Little Mesheng, Hongkawa Kaede’s family, including Tanaka Yuko’s family, stayed in Tokyo to celebrate the New Year.

It was considered the first gathering of each other's family members. Because of the large number of people, the courtyard in Setagaya District became unusually lively.

"Brother-in-law, eh~, our grapes are really good." Tanaka Ryuzo was eating them happily while carrying a bunch of grapes the size of table tennis balls.

Gee, the life of rich people is different.

You can actually achieve fruit freedom in the neon lights of the cold winter months.

Does that deny the strength of the top rich?

Tanaka Ryuzo was tearing apart the grapes and tasting the grapes, while he glanced at the pineapple he was cutting.

"Ryuzo, do I think those grapes have a special taste of jelly beans?"

Hongchuan Kaede picked up a piece of melon and stuffed it into her mouth with a smile. Well, she was worthy of the name Yubari.

"Hey, a special taste?" Tanaka Ryuzo picked up a grape and looked at it carefully.

There is nothing special about it except that it is very big and tastes very sweet.

"Poof~" He spat a seed into the pond wantonly, attracting a group of fish to fight for it.

Hongchuan Feng wiped his mouth, turned to look at Tanaka Ryuzo who was eating grapes again and responded.

“The taste of dollars.”

"Huh?" Tanaka Ryuzo stopped talking and looked at him strangely.

"Here" Hongchuan Feng raised Dongba, "The string in my leg is worth 6,400 US dollars."

"Six thousand." The stunned Tanaka Ryuzo was halfway through speaking when he jumped up on the spot as if he was electrocuted.

He tightly protected the half bunch of grapes in his arms with his legs and asked again as if to make sure.

"$6,400? 1.6 million yuan per month?!"

"Hmm~" Hongchuan Fengyun nodded lightly and picked up another piece of pineapple.

"That's that." After Tanaka Ryuzo learned that he had eaten 800,000 yuan, the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was to think about whether half of the leftover string could be exchanged for money.

He probably counted 25 pills in a bunch, and the average price was $6,400, or $226 per pill.

Converted into monthly dollars, it costs more than 50,000 yuan per pill. Oh, that’s wrong, I have a lot of pills in my mouth.

Tanaka Ryuzo lowered his head, stretched his legs, and wanted to spit out the half-eaten grapes in his mouth.

"Hey, don't be so disgusting." Seeing his movements, Hongchuan Feng stretched her legs and gave him a headache.

"Can you. What about 1.6 million yuan a month? Why are grapes so expensive?"

Poor Tanaka Ryuzo, he felt that poverty completely limited his imagination.

1.6 million yuan per month. When I work as a small player for a month, it only costs 80,000 to 90,000 yuan per month.

That means he needs to work as a bitch without food or water for 20 months to earn that much income.

"Ruby Roman grapes, a famous product of Ishikawa Prefecture. The bunch I ate will be the best product next year."

That's why Hongchuan Maple asked people to bid for the best bunch of grapes at the Tokyo Agricultural Products Exhibition, which is why they are so expensive.

After hearing his explanation, Tanaka Ryuzo's eyes shone. He had also heard of the names of those fruits, but they had always been legendary.

I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see the real thing tomorrow, and I almost ate it all myself.

"Wrong brother-in-law, what about that piece of pineapple I just ate?"

"British pineapples, $1,600, flown in."

"Hey~ Where's the melon?"

"That one is cheap, $225 a piece. Made in Yubari, Hokkaido, my hometown~"

"."Tanaka Ryuzo.

Looking at the fruit that he had just eaten a lot of, Tanaka Ryuzo took a deep breath and looked at Hongchuan Feng seriously.

"Brother-in-law, he doesn't want to work hard anymore~"

"Go away!" Hongchuan Feng gave him a red eye without any courtesy.

I am not my sister-in-law, am I qualified to say that?

Hongchuan Kaede felt that Tanaka Ryuzo didn't have any clue in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, can he often come to my house to eat fruit in the future?" Tanaka Takashi retreated and asked for the next best thing.

"As long as my sister doesn't go back on her fault, it doesn't matter if she does." Hongchuan Feng shrugged, expressing his casualness.

Is Bu Nao Neon's pursuit of fruit so persistent?

"Isn't that great?" Tanaka Ryuzo gave an excited high-five.

Look at those fruits, they come from all over the world.

When the time comes, bring some to the country bumpkins around you, so that they can also understand what the tip of the iceberg is like in the life of a truly wealthy person.

"Hey, why don't you ask him not to turn back?" Tanaka Yuko, who heard the voice at that time, stepped out of the main room not far away.

"Oh, it's nothing." Tanaka Ryuzo stood up diligently and began to tease the little Qingkong in her arms.

"That's wrong, brother-in-law. I heard that the track in southern Hunan has been repaired? Can you please go for a couple of laps together tomorrow?"

Tanaka Ryuzo has been coveting the few sports cars in Hong Chuanfeng's garage for a long time. Of course, he can't wait to experience them while he is resting.

"I'm not free tomorrow, because I want to accompany my mother and the others to the Imperial Palace. Prince Akihito has specially taken care of me. It's hard to refuse such kindness~"

"."Tanaka Ryuzo.

Since the New Year will not be spent in Tokyo, it is inevitable that some local families will ask to visit.

The Royal Imperial Palace is one of them, and of course it is the first place in the planned itinerary.

After all, how to explain that Prince Ren's face was not denied, and Hongchuan Feng was also a little curious about the wrong place where the royal family lived.

However, after visiting it in person, Hongchuan Fengcuo's so-called royal courtyard became less interesting.

Exquisite is exquisite, but compared with Chinese gardens, I always feel that it lacks a sense of grandeur and elegance.

As for Kazuko and the others, they are more interested in Sensoji Temple than the Imperial Palace. Going to Asakusa for a stick of incense in the next year will naturally become an indispensable part of Benikawa Kaede's family's itinerary.

Watch red during the New Year, and visit relatives and friends to visit shrines after the New Year.

Throughout January, Hongkawa Kaede and her family had a great time in Tokyo. However, on the other side of the ocean, a press conference that affected the entire computer industry was being held.

Tuesday, January 24, 1984.

De Anza College, Cupertino, California, Flint Performing Arts Center.

Outside the entire performance hall, the third-floor auditorium in the Middle East was packed with eager audiences.

As the lights gradually dimmed, the discussion in the performance hall also gradually disappeared.

The world fell silent at that moment, and everyone held their breath.

Finally, with his hair flying and a smile on his face, Gang Leader Qiao appeared on the stage with great confidence under the lights.

"Oh~", "Whew~"

Before he could speak, a burst of cheers and whistles rang out from Taitung.

Gang Leader Qiao, who was wearing a black suit and bow tie, had that charming smile on his face.

Not to mention the 29-year-old, he really has some of the charm of Tom Cruise.

"So in 1958, IBM passed up the opportunity to acquire an emerging technology company.

That small company had just invented a technology called Xerography, and two years later Xerox was established, and IBM has regretted it ever since."

"Haha~" Taitung burst into laughter.

Gang Leader Qiao's opening scene directly mocked IBM's short-sightedness and ignorance.

Xerox is the Xerox Corporation, and it is also the technical source of Pingchang's computer graphics system.

Following Donglai, Jobs introduced the origin of the personal computer and the history of the birth of Pingcheng Company.

And in those introductions, he did not forget to continue to mock IBM's short-sightedness.

It can be said that in the first three minutes of the entire press conference, Jobs was dissing IBM from all aspects.

As for why there is so much resentment, it may be because in the North American market, the two companies have been competing for the throne of the personal computer leader.

After quarreling with IBM, Qiao Gangzhu played a short commercial film shot by Pingcheng for the Macintosh computer.

After that, we entered the theme of this conference, "Tomorrow they will release the third milestone product in the industry, Macintosh."
