After Shi Zhijian and Tian Jiale left Baichi Company, they took a rickshaw again and headed towards Yokohama Nishi Ward.
On the way, Shi Zhijian very carefully placed the black briefcase he had been carrying on his knees.
Tian Jiale had coveted this briefcase for a long time. He didn't know what was inside, so he offered to help Shi Zhijian carry the briefcase.
Shi Zhijian did not refuse, but said to Tian Jiale jokingly: "There is a lot of money stuffed in this, you can buy a building!"
Tian Jiale mentioned it secretly, very lightly, and said in his heart: "I believe you are a ghost!"
Kinryu Co., Ltd. is located in the center of Yokohama West Industrial Zone.
This company is different from other machinery companies in that it specializes in "mechanical design". The president, Nobuo Asakura himself, is the overlord in the field of mechanical design.
Shi Zhijian and Tian Jiale were invited into the machinery and equipment exhibition hall as guests purchasing instant noodle machines.
Shi Zhijian first looked at the instant noodle machine on display. Sure enough, both the style and performance were much higher than those of the Baichi company. Of course, the price was also very expensive, each machine cost 300,000 yen, which is 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
But compared with the machine designed on my own drawing, it is still a few steps behind!
After Shi Zhijian visited the samples, he informed them of his purpose. Upon hearing that Shi Zhijian was here to order machines, the staff immediately invited them to the living room, prepared coffee, and asked them to sit down and wait.
Not long after Shi Zhijian sat down, he saw a girl coming hurriedly with a folder in her arms and wearing high heels.
"Hello, I am a salesperson from Jinlong Company. My name is Mitsuko Yamada." the girl introduced.
Shi Zhijian was slightly startled. The other party's name reminded him of the heroine in a Hong Kong kung fu movie in his previous life. A closer look revealed that the girl was somewhat similar to that heroine.
Shi Zhijian got straight to the point, "Hello, Miss Guangzi, I'm here this time to order ten machines from your company."
"It's my honor to serve you. What kind of machinery do you need?"
Shi Zhijian waved to Tian Jiale.
Tian Jiale didn't understand, so Shi Zhijian pointed to the briefcase he was carrying.
Tian Jiale understood and hurriedly handed him the briefcase.
Shi Zhijian put the briefcase on the table and opened it solemnly. There was nothing in it, only a few documents.
Tian Jiale curled his lips, remembering Shi Zhijian's previous bragging, buying a building just now? How do you say that sentence in Cantonese? I'll give you a thumbs up!
Shi Zhijian took out a document, and then took out a drawing from the document and said: "Miss Guangzi, with all due respect, I think the one you produced doesn't quite meet my requirements, so I don't know if you can produce it according to my drawings.
Produce the machinery I need.”
Mitsuko Yamada was not surprised. There were people like Shi Zhijian who made special requests.
She took the sample paper from Shi Zhijian and looked at it carefully. Her expression gradually changed from calmness to surprise, and then she said: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't make the design you requested. We need professional designers from our company."
Let’s make a decision, please wait a moment!”
Shi Zhijian remained calm and watched all the photon reactions. He had already known the weight of his artwork through comparison before. After all, how could a mechanical design that was more than fifty years ahead of its time be comparable in this era?
So, Shi Zhijian stayed with Tian Jiale in the customer negotiation area, while Yamada Mitsuko took the sample and hurried upstairs on high heels.
Not long after, Mitsuko Yamada came out and first bowed to Shi Zhijian and apologized, saying that he was sorry for making them wait for so long. He also said that the designer attached great importance to the artwork after reading it and had now reported it to the boss. He asked them if they could wait a little longer.
Shi Zhijian nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. It's quite nice to sit here and drink coffee."
Mitsuko Yamada then wondered: "Sir, we have a grudging request here. I wonder if you can feel free to hand over your artwork to us first? Our company is very interested in your artwork and attaches great importance to it."
…”
Before Guangzi finished speaking, Shi Zhijian said: "It doesn't matter, you can keep it first."
Shi Zhijian answered so simply that Mitsuko Yamada was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look at Shi Zhijian one more time, and then bowed sincerely: "Hai! Thank you for your trust in our company!"
…
Shi Zhijian waited in the lounge for almost ten minutes, when Mitsuko Yamada came over with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man is short, wearing a black suit, and has a strong build, like a bodyguard.
"Hello Mr. Shi, the president of our company would like to meet you. I wonder if you have time?" Photon sounded excited. After all, not every customer has the opportunity to be invited by the president.
Tian Jiale was speechless. Asakura Nobuo was a god-like being in Yokohama. He was only a handful in terms of wealth and strength.
Shi Zhijian seemed very calm, "Of course!"
"Please come this way!" Mitsuko Yamada stood sideways with the man, and then made an invitation gesture towards Shi Zhijian.
Led by the middle-aged man, everyone walked through the company and came to an independent villa behind the company.
On the third floor of the villa, in front of a door, a middle-aged man clasped his index finger on the wooden door and knocked respectfully. Then he bowed and said to the people inside: "Mr. Asakura, Mr. Shi is here."
"Oh, really! Let the guests in quickly! As a host, it is very impolite to make guests wait for too long." said the man in the living room.
"Hai!" The middle-aged man bowed, turned around and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, President Asakura is waiting for you inside, please come in!" He stretched out his hand in a respectful invitation gesture.
Shi Zhijian smiled and walked into the living room.
The middle-aged man then gently closed the door, then took a few steps back, turned around, raised his chest and raised his head, and stood aside.
…
The entire living room is about ninety square meters, with Japanese-style floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The windows are open and flowers are planted outside, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
In the middle of the living room is a low tea table. An old man wearing linen kimono is kneeling on a futon behind the tea table. According to the information Shi Zhijian learned before, the other person is the president of Yokohama Golden Dragon Company - Chao Chao.
Nobuo Kura.
Next to her, a woman in a crimson kimono was also kneeling on a futon. She was taking a bamboo tea tong with a teacup and washing the tea set.
Shi Zhijian entered the living room, took off his leather shoes immediately, walked on the floor, and then bowed politely to the old man who stood up slowly: "Hello, Mr. Asakura! I am Shi Zhijian, nice to meet you.
you."
Chao Cang glanced at Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian had a slicked back hair, wore a black suit, and looked dignified.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, please sit down!" Asakura bowed and made an invitation.
Shi Zhijian walked over, found a futon, and knelt down on it like Chao Cang, with his hands on his thighs and his waist straight.
Tian Jiale, who acted as the translator, was not qualified to drink tea, so he could only take a futon and sit down about two meters away from the tea table.
"Mr. Shi, let's get straight to the point. I'm inviting you here this time, mainly because I'm very interested in the mechanical drawing you designed." Asakura said in a weathered voice.
Shi Zhijian looked calm and looked at Chao Cang, because he knew that Chao Cang had something to say next.
"Mr. Shi, I have heard that you are in urgent need of ten such machines this time. I can assure you that no company in the entire Yokohama or even the entire RB can produce the machinery in your sample paper."
After a pause, Asakura emphasized his tone, stared at Shi Zhijian and said: "Also, I heard that you only gave three days of supply time. It is almost impossible to develop a new machine in such a short period of time.
Mission accomplished!”
Shi Zhijian looked straight at Asakura, "Then Mr. Asakura's conclusion is -----"
At this time, the tea art woman made tea, placed the exquisite small teacups in front of Chao Cang and Shi Zhijian respectively, then put her hands on her knees, bowed and slowly backed away, and knelt down to the side.
Asakura made a gesture of invitation to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian picked up the tea cup, held the cup with one hand, held the bottom with the other, brought it to his lips and took a sip.
Before the tea moistened the throat and slowly went down, Asakura said: "But whether it is research and development or three-day supply, our Jinlong Company can do it! It just requires one condition -----"
The point is finally here.
Shi Zhijian put down the teacup, his eyes looked normal again, and asked: "What are the conditions?"
"I want to buy out your design!" Asakura Nobuo said loudly.
