Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Walking out of Narita Airport and getting on the bus bound for Tokyo, Li Weidong looked out the window. Everything was the same as he remembered, and there was basically no change.

"It's like this every time I come here!" Li Weidong sighed in his heart.

In his last life, Li Weidong was a trainee in Japan for three years, and his work place was in Tokyo at that time. Later, Li Weidong became rich and developed, and he went to and from Tokyo many times, but every time he came, Tokyo was the same, and nothing changed.

The streets, buildings, layout, and even the signboard are the same as before. The only thing that has changed is that the hair of the uncle of the ramen shop has turned white.

China's cities have undergone small changes in two or three years, and major changes in seven or eight years. Revisiting the old places after more than ten years is completely two places.

However, Japanese cities have remained the same for forty years.

For a middle-aged Japanese man, he can return to his elementary school, junior high school or high school from time to time, miss the time when he was ignorant and young, and look at the place where he stayed twenty years ago, nothing has changed.

For a middle-aged Chinese, his primary school, junior high school or high school may have been demolished. Those old buildings have become brand new buildings, and everything in the past has changed. There is no memory or memory. Even the appearance of first love is blurred.

Li Weidong was sighing that Japan would not change much for decades, while the other people on the bus looked at the outside of the bus with a curious expression, and from time to time they made surprised voices, lamenting the development of Japan.

Ye Jun sat behind He An'an and offered his affections endlessly.

"An An, oh no, translate He, look over there, the Tokyo Tower is in that direction, this Tokyo Tower is the tallest tower in the world, even taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

Ueno Park is 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 what he said!

There is also Sensoji Temple near Ueno Park, which is also a famous scenic spot in Tokyo. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo, and there are many shops that have survived the Edo period. When I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll show you around! "

Although Ye Jun has only been to Tokyo once, he has turned into a "Tokyo Pass" at this time, constantly introducing the sights of Tokyo to He An'an.

As for He An'an, he simply took out a Walkman,

Then I plugged my ears with headphones.

Li Weidong, who was not far away, smiled, secretly thinking that this Ye Jun is really stingy. All the attractions introduced are free, and he is reluctant to spend even a ticket to pick up a girl.

Not long after, everyone came to the residence, a relatively cheap hotel with small rooms and outdated facilities.

After all, Tokyo is expensive. For the Chinese in the 1990s, the accommodation fee in Tokyo hotels was indeed relatively expensive, so they could only live in such cheap hotels.

Li Weidong reckoned that a small room in a cheap hotel would cost more than 2,000 yen a night, which was higher than a month's salary of an ordinary Chinese.

After settling in, everyone had lunch together, and each person had a bento. Li Weidong knew that he bought it from a convenience store.

Japanese lunches are relatively simple. Many students or married office workers bring bentos at home. If they do not bring bentos, instant bentos from convenience stores are also a good choice.

Those izakayas that are suitable for gatherings basically only open at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and those who want to have a group dinner at noon have no place.

Others were curiously tasting the Japanese lunch box. Li Weidong took a few bites, and then he found a phone to contact Xizhi Electric.

Li Weidong proposed that he would like to meet President Tanaka, the head of Xizhi, but the other party said that President Tanaka is very busy with work, and if he wants to meet President Tanaka, he needs to make an appointment in advance.

So Li Weidong had to make an appointment to meet President Tanaka at the headquarters of Xizhi at 2:00 in the afternoon 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 Hui continued: "But, we are a group after all, this is a foreign country, if members of the group act alone, they should also pay attention to safety, so you have to report to Lao Tang every day, so that we can confirm your safety. ."

"No problem." Li Weidong nodded: "I go to Director Tang every day to report."

Xie Hui pondered for a moment, then said: "If you encounter any difficulties over there, you can also come to me, and let's discuss together. We also have some connections in Tokyo from the Foreign Trade Department, except for Japanese companies. In addition, I also know several local Chinese and overseas Chinese groups, which may also be of help."

Li Weidong nodded again: "If there is progress on my side, I will report to you as soon as possible."

The two exchanged a few more words, and 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 wander around.

When I walked to the door, I happened to see He Anan holding a map of Tokyo's subway lines in his hand, and looked at it in a trance.

Tokyo has the densest rail traffic in the world. Tokyo's subway map is like a spider web, densely packed. When people see it for the first time, they will definitely be confused.

He An'an is like this now, holding the subway map with a blank face. Although she can understand the Japanese place names on it, she looks at the dense subway line, as if she has fallen into a maze, and her head suddenly bursts.

He An'an went to college in Beijing, and naturally took the subway. At that time, the subway lines 1 and 2 in Beijing were just connected, and there was no comparison with the Tokyo subway network.

Li Weidong walked to He An'an with footsteps and asked, "He translation, are you planning to go out for a walk?"

He Anan nodded and said hesitantly, "I want to go see that Ueno Park, the one written by Mr. Lu Xun."

"If you go to Ueno, you have to take the G line, this is it!" 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 An'an looked at Li Weidong in surprise and asked, "Director Li, you are very familiar with the subway lines in Tokyo. 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 looked at the map and researched the transfer route to Ueno. 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 be comparable to ours in China! If it is the season of cherry blossoms, if you go to Ueno Park, you can still enjoy cherry blossoms, but on weekdays, the scenery of Ueno Park is 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 the natural scenery, a small country like Japan will definitely not be able to compare with China. From the cold to the tropics, what kind of natural scenery does China have? If you pull out any province, you can smash a small country.

A small country is originally a big place. There are not 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 a lake.

Therefore, traveling to small countries and seeing natural scenery is quite a loss. Some 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 some sense. She asked subconsciously, "Where should I go?"

"Come to Japan, of course, to see some things with Japanese characteristics that we can't see in our country." Li Weidong replied.

"Like?" He Anan asked with wide eyes.

Li Weidong thought about it and said, "Asakusa Temple is worth seeing, after all, it still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, and it is a very Japanese attraction.

If you go to Ueno, you may wish to visit the Toshogu Shrine in Ueno. In addition, Ueno also has a national museum, which houses a lot of cultural relics.

There is also going to the Ryogoku Arena to watch a sumo match. This thing originally originated in China, but now it has become the quintessence of Japan, and only Tokyo can see it. "

"Sumo? Is it those big fat guys who don't wear clothes? I don't want to see that!" He Anan's face flushed slightly.

For Chinese women of that era, it was really embarrassing to go to see a sumo wrestling with a big butt.

Li Weidong smiled and then introduced: "Actually, I think, you should go to Shibuya to see it, it is the most prosperous and most dynamic place in Tokyo, it is the most essential area in modern Japan, and it is also a place for young people. Heaven!"

"Shibuya?" He Anan looked down at the subway map in his hand and began to look for the location of Shibuya.

"How about I take you there, I happen to be planning to go shopping in Shibuya!" Li Weidong said.

He Anan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

After all, in a foreign country, people who are unfamiliar in life, and have a gay man they know by their side are safer.

...

In the subway station, He Anan stood in front of the ticket vending machine curiously.

At this time, domestic subways still sell tickets manually, while Tokyo subways have already used automatic ticket machines.

Seeing He An'an's curious expression, Li Weidong handed the coin in his hand to He An'an, and said, "Will you try it?"

He Anan nodded, and under the guidance of Li Weidong, learned to use the automatic ticket machine to buy subway tickets.

Soon after, a row of vending machines attracted He An'an's attention.

"Is this a vending machine?" He Anan stepped forward and stared curiously at the goods inside.

"What to drink? I invite you!" Li Weidong generously took out a coin and stuffed it into the vending machine.

He Anan looked at the price of the drink, 100 to 200 yen, 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 is all 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, a bottle of drink rolled out of the vending machine, and then took out his wallet: "Then I'll return the money to you."

"No, don't forget, I'm a local tyrant! I can sell products worth tens of millions of dollars a year!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Local tyrant?" He Anan pondered the word for a while, understood that it meant the rich, and then laughed, she thought the word was very interesting.

This smile is so sweet that Li Weidong looks a little crazy.

He Anan also found that Li Weidong, who was opposite, was staring at her absentmindedly. Although she often encountered this situation, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to be stared at like this.

In order to demonstrate the embarrassment, He Anan withdrew his smile and lowered his head to open the drink.

Li Weidong also felt that it was a little embarrassing to stare at other people's little girls just now, which was contrary to the character of his positive role.

So Li Weidong coughed and wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but found that he didn't know what to say.

The two fell into silence at the same time, which made it even more embarrassing.

"there……"

"this……"

The next second, the two of them spoke at the same time, but stopped at the same time. They both wanted to find a topic to break this awkward state, but they crashed.

Immediately afterwards, the two said in unison: "You talk first!"

"Then let me say..."

Again in unison.

"You'd better say it first!"

Still in unison.

The old part of the idol drama 20 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 looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere instantly changed from embarrassment to ambiguous.

In the end, 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 the awkward and ambiguous staring, so he immediately replied, "This, it's selling... um..."

Li Weidong glanced at the goods in the vending machine and stopped talking.

This is a vending machine that sells condoms.

He An'an is a simple little girl, obviously she has never seen such a thing.

"Why is this thing, why is there everything in vending machines in Japan? How should I explain it to her!"

Li Weidong pondered for a moment, tried his best 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 it was.

The next second, He An'an blushed, and at this moment, she could not wait to find a seam to get in.

It's embarrassing for a young girl to point to a pile of condoms and ask a strong boy what it is!

Li Weidong said with a haha ​​and changed the subject: "There are many special gourmet shops near Shibuya, such as steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chick, roasted goose, marinated Pigs, braised ducks, sauce chickens, bacon, pine flowers, belly, dried meat, sausages... none of them!"

"Puchi..." He Anan was amused by Li Weidong and laughed again.

...

Perhaps it was the most embarrassing moment when Li Weidong saw him. He Anan, who had collapsed in the image of a cold goddess, showed his true side, but the distance between the two was much closer.

The original address prefixes of "Director Li" and "He Translation" have disappeared, and they have become "you" and "me" directly, and at most a "hello" is added.

The topics of each other have also become more and more, no longer simply talking about Tokyo, but telling each other about their own lives.

In this way, the two came to Shibuya district talking and laughing.

Even in later generations, Shibuya is the most prosperous area in Tokyo, and in 1990, when Japan's economy was at its peak, Shibuya was even more lively.

In Shibuya, boutiques, cafes, cinemas, clubs, and bars are intertwined with each other, showing a modern urban version of Qingming Shanghe.

Trendy, bold, and alternative, it will not be regarded as an outlier here. It is full of popular elements everywhere, and all around are fashionable boys and girls.

After World War II, Japan's most representative modern culture gathered here.

And these, for young people, have a fatal attraction!

Li Weidong is naturally not surprised by this, he has seen more fashionable or more alternative.

However, He Anan felt that this was another world, a world she could never 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 at it. It was a dark-skinned woman. Obviously, the normal skin color was not like this. The dark skin was sunburned. This kind of "beauty tan" was very popular in the non-mainstream at that time.

Looking at the clothes, this woman should be a high school student, wearing a fat knitted sweater on the upper body, a very short JK plaid skirt on the lower body, thick socks on her feet, and 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 it mean? I didn't learn this word in school." He Anan asked.

Li Weidong explained with a smile: "Of course your professors won't teach you this word. The word means "hot girl". The English girl evolved. In Japan, the hot girl style is a kind of dress that fashion girls are rushing for."

He Anan nodded suddenly, then he waited with big eyes, looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, and said, "I found out, how do you know everything? Haven't you been to Tokyo?"

"I haven't eaten pork before, and I haven't seen a pig go away! I have Japanese among my clients, and I heard them say this." Li Weidong continued; "My Japanese client also said that there is a sushi nearby, and the taste is very good. Yes, I'll take you to try it later."

"Sushi, isn't that expensive?" He Anan seemed a little hesitant.

"I've said it all, I'm a local tyrant! What is it called..." Li Weidong put on a contemplative expression, and then said, "I remember, that's what I said, local tyrant, let's be friends! So you are now a friend of the local tyrant!"

...

Japanese people tend to eat a lot of breakfast, but unfortunately, Li Weidong and the others are staying in cheap hotels. In this kind of cheap hotels, they only provide milk and bread for breakfast.

Li Weidong was neither full nor well-fed. He felt that it was necessary to go to a convenience store. The breakfast sold in the convenience store should be more delicious than milk bread.

Beside, Director Tang, Director Jiang and others were eating with relish.

"Director Li, why don't you eat? Have a bad appetite?" Director Tang asked with concern.

"Probably because of the environment!" Li Weidong replied, he couldn't say that he was going to open a small stove soon.

"Director Li, this can't be done. You didn't come back for dinner last night. If you don't eat more in the morning, you'll be hungry twice." Director Tang said.

"It's okay, I'm young and strong, fighting hunger!" Li Weidong said, stood up, and continued: "Several eat slowly, I'll go out for two steps first, maybe it will help digestion, and I will have an appetite to eat! "

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he turned 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 back and said, "Xiao He didn't come back for dinner last night, did he? Are you unaccustomed to the soil and water? Guys, you are not unaccustomed to the soil and water, you should eat and drink as usual!"

Hearing this, Ye Jun licked the dog immediately came to He An'an's side and asked, "An An, are you feeling unwell?"

Of course He Anan couldn't say that last night was a sushi dinner with Li Wendong in Shibuya.

He An'an didn't want to pay attention to Ye Jun's licking the dog. She said coldly "I'm fine" and left the restaurant.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he saw Li Weidong standing not far away, holding a sightseeing map of Tokyo in his hand.

Li Weidong also saw He An'an and asked, "Have you been full so soon?"

"I don't want to eat it." He Anan pouted.

Li Weidong instantly guessed that it was Ye Jun who was licking the dog again.

"That's why you're not full! Come on, I'll take you out to eat. There should be breakfast in the convenience store on the corner!" 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 of the street. He Anan was holding a Mickey Mouse plush doll in his hand, which was bought by Li Weidong for her, a genuine Disney souvenir.

"I really don't understand, there's nothing unusual about such a Mickey Mouse being sold so expensively!" He Anan complained while holding Mickey Mouse.

"Because this is genuine!" Li Weidong continued: "There was a legend in the rivers and lakes that if you are unfortunate enough to live on a desert island, you can draw a Mickey Mouse on the beach and you will be saved."

"Why?" He Anan asked with a puzzled face.

"Because Disney will come from thousands of miles to arrest you, and then sue you for violating their intellectual property rights!" Li Weidong replied.

Hearing this answer, He Anan was amused again.

Li Weidong went on to say: "Don't think this is just a joke, Disney is a famous copyright freak!"

"Copyright maniac?" He Anan was aroused by this novel title.

Li Weidong went on to say: "In 1987, graduates of a primary school in Japan drew Mickey Mouse in the school's swimming pool as a graduation memorial. After Disney discovered it, they immediately asked the school to delete the Mickey Mouse pattern.

And at the 1989 Oscars, a singer wore Snow White's clothes to sing on stage. Disney thought it had infringed their copyright and sued the singer! "

These stories of bad streets on the Internet in the future are not only novel, but also fantastical for little girls in the 1990s.

The stalks of the Internet age, used to pick up girls in 1990, are really suitable!

...

He Anan didn't go to dinner again, which made Ye Jun worried.

However, Ye Jun prepared a trump card, that is, a box of stomach-strengthening and digestion tablets, which he only came 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, intending to hand over the stomach and digestion tablets to He An'an.

"With this stomach and digestion tablet, An An will be able to eat! If she knows, I will get her a stomach and digestion tablet specially, she will be very moved!"

I have to say, Ye Jun is really a straight man of steel!

Ye Jun was looking forward to a bright future, and He Anan also appeared in Ye Jun's sight.

It's just that it's not just He An'an alone, she also has Li Weidong by her side!

"Why is Li Weidong here!" Ye Jun suddenly felt bad.

He An'an and Li Weidong were chatting, laughing, and being very intimate, which caught Ye Jun's eyes.

At this time, He An'an doesn't seem to be a little bit unaccustomed to the environment!

Ye Jun remembered what Director Jiang had said at breakfast, that He An'an and Li Weidong didn't eat dinner last night, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he instantly understood.

Why didn't these two have dinner, they were clearly looking for a place to have dinner together!

Ye Jun only felt sour in his heart, and tears could not be restrained from bursting out of his eyes.

The licking dog was angry and cried!
