National Tide 1980.

People who have reached a certain level often have a tacit understanding on certain things.

In the office of Supervisor Ishikawa in the club, both Ning Weimin and Supervisor Ishikawa all left the unpleasant episode behind and had a formal meeting in a rather relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

"Supervisor Ishikawa, I'm Ning Weimin from the capital. My coming to Tokyo has caused you too much trouble. I'm very sorry. This is a little bit of the local product of the capital, and I have a little sense of it. I hope you don't dislike it."

Ning Weimin was really not used to bowing, but he didn't want to be rude, causing the other party to be dissatisfied.

So I played a little trick and only paid tribute by sending a gift.

While speaking, he had already opened the suitcase and put a large bright yellow brocade box on the coffee table in front of the sofa in front of Supervisor Ishikawa.

There is nothing precious here, just two tubes of jasmine tea and a pair of bright yellow antique porcelain tea cups.

Ning Weimin thinks very clearly about giving gifts. The Japanese attach great importance to the sense of ceremony of gifts, and what they want is only a form and feeling.

So no matter what he gave, he put it in a box from the Jinxiang Factory.

In this case, even things that were originally worth a few dollars would appear to be quite expensive.

Just like these two cups of tea, they are not really good teas, they are only mid-range products of Dalonghao.

But the Japanese can't drink it either. As long as it is Chinese tea, they will feel good.

The same is true for tea cups. The products that Ning Weimin chose were actually the common goods ordered by Tan Gong Restaurant from the Antique Porcelain Factory.

But the bright yellow used by the royal family can be very bluffing.

Not to mention the Japanese, Chinese people also feel gorgeous and extraordinary when they see such a tea cup, with a royal atmosphere.

Sure enough, as he expected, Supervisor Ishikawa then opened it up in person, showing great joy.

Not only do I like the tea fragrance of jasmine, but also praise Liu Yongqing's craftsmanship.

In addition, Ning Weimin did not forget the Chief Oda of the "General Affairs Section" who accompanied him in.

Then one turned around and handed the other golden box to Oda beside Ishikawa.

"Senior Oda, it's the first time we meet, please take care. Be careful, it's not enough to be respectful."

This brocade box is not large, it is the same size as the gift Ning Weimin gave to the two front desk ladies just now.

So Oda's thanks were obviously polite, and really didn't take it too seriously.

But when he opened it, Oda couldn't help showing a very surprised, very surprised look.

Inside the box is a chrysanthemum brooch in the form of a feeder.

The shape is realistic, and the pearls are round and jade, especially the petals, which are almost translucent.

Under the light of the light, against the brocade in the box, it glows like a jewel.

So much so that Section Chief Oda lost his mind the moment he saw this thing.

Just like the two receptionists at the front desk just now, they showed an expression that they had never seen anything in the world.

"This...is this a gem? It's too precious..."

Needless to say, this is of course something produced by the East Flower Market Feeder Factory.

Since the Japanese are particularly obsessed with chrysanthemums, this thing can be worn by both men and women.

This thing was launched half a year ago, and it has almost become the best-selling handicraft in the Temple of Heaven and the entire Temple of Heaven for Japanese customers. …

And not only white, but also yellow.

Many Japanese people buy two or three pairs, and some people even buy a dozen. Basically, they can't pull it out when they see it.

"This is a feeder, also called imperial colored glaze. It is an artificial gemstone made by traditional craftsmanship. It was deeply loved by dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty in the past. This kind of thing has a history of more than 200 years in the capital..."

Ning Weimin exaggerated the situation and fooled Xiaotian.

So even Supervisor Ishikawa couldn't help but be attracted by his words, looked at the chrysanthemum of the feeder, and sighed.

"Yu Liuli? Could it be that the emperor of China used it! It's so beautiful, it's worthy of being a luxury item from the capital. Oda-kun, you have to thank Ning Sang."

These words prompted Xiaotian to immediately take the matter seriously, and bowed a 45-degree bow to Ning Weimin, expressing his sincere thanks.

"It cost you money. Thank you very much."

In Japanese, this kind of expression, which is similar to the Chinese "thank you", is far more than the "Ali Gado ancient smashed ima silk" that everyone often hears.

Ning Weimin pursed his lips hard before he held it back without showing his pride.

But at this time, he couldn't help but follow the local customs and bowed slightly.

"I'm a little apprehensive about your compliment. Actually, it's not worth anything."

Don't say it, this is the truth from his heart.

You know, the ex-factory price of this thing is only three yuan and five, and the actual production cost is less than two yuan.

This is because the workers in the material factory felt discouraged and did not like to do it, so Ning Weimin added [-] cents to subsidize the workers.

Otherwise, it's three bucks.

But even so, the Japanese don't know the inside story. The selling price of this thing in the capital is as high as 25 yuan in foreign exchange certificates.

Like Oda, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he was being modest.

"Ning Sang, please don't say that. I really can't express my feelings... I would like to express my sincere thanks again."

Another bow!
And the politeness of this sentence has soared again, almost maxing out.

Ning Weimin was so frightened that he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and waved his hands again and again.

"Nothing. Section Chief Oda, please don't be polite. I'm ashamed. Speaking of which, the selling price of this thing in China is about [-] yen. The main reason is that our Huaxia company is also handling these things. So taking this opportunity of official business, I took the opportunity to bring some food containers as gifts. It is my honor that you like it. There are many more in the box, enough for each minister and section head. Of course, I also I would like to ask for your advice by the way. How can such a thing be sold in Japan? Is there any hope of opening up sales?"

That's right, this time, Ning Weimin planned to visit the Japanese market by the way.

Let's see if we can export these crafts to Japan and open up another source of money for ourselves.

It's a matter of carrying a hand.

But he didn't expect that it would be better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Oda immediately exclaimed.

"Two thousand yen! It's so cheap!"

On the other hand, Supervisor Ishikawa kept slapping his chest for protection.

"No problem, it must be no problem. If it is really so cheap, then there must be a market in Japan, and there will be huge profits."…

After that, he actually didn't want to be on the air at all, and treated Ning Weimin as his family.

"Ning Sang is indeed the backbone of the Huaxia branch. Mr. Piercatton's praise for you is indeed justified. With such a business acumen, it's no wonder that the president specially ordered me to take care of you. Don't worry. Okay, you are in Tokyo, if you have any difficulties. I will do my best to help. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me. Come and come, please take a seat...Oda-kun, hurry up, make tea for Ning Sang, I want the best Yulu!"

Ning Weimin really did not expect that his first visit would receive such warm feedback.

He didn't even have time to be polite and react, and he was already pushed by Ishikawa to the reception sofa.

Supervisor Ishikawa also sat down opposite Ning Weimin without any hesitation.

Then he opened a short gilt wooden box on the coffee table, pushed it straight in front of him, leaned over and smiled, "This is a handmade fine cigar from Cuba, do you want to try it?"

But then again, in the face of such kindness and enthusiasm, Ning Weimin will inevitably find it unbelievable and inexplicable.

Because strictly speaking, even though Ning Weimin was the manager of the acting operation department in Beijing, and ranked third in Huaxia Company, he was only the minister of the Japanese branch.

His position is not equal to that of Supervisor Ishikawa.

Unless the share of Huaxia Company is added, and the identity of a director is counted, it is barely enough.

What's more, he went to Japan this time not for the main clothing business of Pier Caton Company, but for opening a branch of Tan Palace Restaurant.

From this perspective, Supervisor Ishikawa has no obligation or responsibility to help him.

To put it bluntly, it is a love for others to help, and a duty not to help, and he can't pick out what others are doing.

Even if he thinks of the incense relationship, people have helped him go abroad, and it is enough to do this.

What's the point of not being afraid of trouble, and continuing to help him?

Is it because of Mr. Caton's few words of entrustment?

Is it just for the chrysanthemum that he gave Oda just now?

Neither should.

First, Mr. Caton won't have as much influence over Japanese companies.

Otherwise, it would not have opened Maxim's restaurant to Tokyo so far.

There is a gap between the master and the Japanese branch in terms of business philosophy. When the Japanese workers came to China to renovate the Maxim restaurant, Ning Weimin heard about it.

He knows that the Tokyo branch seems to be very disgusted with this kind of cross-border operation, unwilling to take on unknown market risks, and has always rejected the idea of ​​​​executing the master.

And the profit of chrysanthemum is also limited.

This kind of thing is not an industrial product, it is [-], [-], how big is Lilan?

As a supervisor, Ishikawa doesn't know that this kind of handmade product cannot be mass-produced. How could he be so happy?
Ning Weimin couldn't figure out the reasoning here, so he couldn't help being flattered.

"Thank you, you're very kind. I've smoked cigars, and I like Gosper. But..."

After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Supervisor Ishikawa, your affairs must be very busy, so if I sit here, will it waste your precious time too much? If there is anything you want to ask, please clarify. Otherwise, I'll retire first, I'm really sorry to delay your business."…

"Hey, don't say that. Dealing with financial statements every day is also very boring. Let's chat, but it will help relieve fatigue and tension. I also want to invite you to dinner at night to catch the wind for you. By the way, Vice President Takada also said that he wanted to see you. Of course, if you are tired now, you can go to the hotel to rest first. The room has been booked. I can send a car to take you there now..."

Supervisor Ishikawa said that Ning Weimin was not tired and did not take cigars.

Then he politely closed the cigarette case, and simply stopped smoking.

"Well, since you have nothing special yet, let's just chat casually and talk about the situation of your Huaxia branch, okay?"

"What do you want to know?" Ning Weimin blinked and became careful.

"Mr. Pilkardon is very pleased with the achievements and achievements you have achieved in the past one or two years. The chairman is very satisfied with your work. As far as I know, your annual turnover has reached nearly [-] million. U.S. dollars, right? It’s really unexpected. In an economically backward republic, such an investment miracle can still be created. I congratulate you here, I admire it very much. I am also sincerely happy for the chairman. You have really worked hard. We Although the Japanese company's annual turnover far exceeds that of China, it took no less than ten years to reach this level. And I heard that your manufacturing cost is very low, but the manufacturing process can already meet European quality standards. Is that so? That's even more amazing. To be honest, I can't wait to meet Ning Sang. I just want to discuss with you some cooperation possibilities. For example, is there such a possibility? If we The production capacity here is insufficient. If you need clothing in stock, can you transfer the goods to us? Can you meet additional orders in terms of production? We are so close, this approach is very promising? We hope to use your company's strength, Solve some of our supply problems. Of course, we still need careful negotiation and communication in terms of price, style, texture, and technical requirements."

I really scared myself, it turned out to be a good thing!
Ning Weimin immediately relaxed, and he was happy to take over the olive branch from the Japanese branch.

It is rare for Japanese companies that have been arrogant in the past to finally start to face up to their existence.

If you can also get more export orders for the head office by the way, there is nothing wrong with it.

Why don't you make money for free?

You know, what this earns is the yen that has been strong in the future!
He responded positively immediately.

"I personally think it's ok, and I hope to facilitate this. But the specific things need to be decided by our general manager. She is now in Paris. I need to get her authorization. Some data, without her consent, I Can't disclose it yet. Please understand."

"That's great, with Ning Sang's help. I think it will go well."

Supervisor Ishikawa is worthy of being a member of the senior management, with a strong sense of affiliation and a magnetic voice.

At this time, seeing the tea being brought, he immediately asked for tea, "Come, Ning Sang, please try it, this is the highest grade Yulu tea, and there are not many tea trees out there. Talented people, I can’t bear to take them out.”…

Ning Weimin could only thank him again, but he did have a good impression of this person.

Everyone is an actor, don't care if they are pretending or not, it is a good attitude to be able to pretend in the mall.

No one really wants to make friends!In essence, it is still for making money, no shame!
August 1985, 8, was a really special day.

Because it is not only the turn of summer and autumn, but also the [-]th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression all over the world.

On this day 40 years ago, the Japanese devils finally raised the white flag and admitted the failure of the war of aggression against China.

And on this day 40 years later, the common people in the country have seen the TV reports of the [-]th anniversary of World War II and the grand scene of the assembly of thousands of people from the live TV broadcast.

The TV series "Four Generations Together" also began to be broadcast after the "News Network" on this day, and quickly became a topic of public opinion in the whole society.

The theme song "Rebuilding the Rivers and Mountains for Later Life" has become a well-known Beijing rhyme drum segment.

Even after the TV series aired, domestic dramatist Cao Yu made a public statement.

"I advocate that this drama should be seen by the whole world, especially Japan."

However, it was precisely on this day that Japanese Prime Minister Yasushiro Nakasone and other cabinet ministers officially visited the Yasukuni Shrine.The move aroused strong opposition in Japan and abroad.

Ning Weimin himself is also in Tokyo, Japan, talking about the various possibilities of copper odor by talking to the Japanese devils, giving gifts and drinking tea.

Maybe some people see this scene and misunderstand him as a mercenary traitor because of the huge contrast.

But he knew that he had a clear conscience and was worthy of this day.

In his own way, he is imaginary and arrogant, and he is patriotic.

He can not only use the power of devils to develop and promote national industries.

And soon, he will be able to use capital as a weapon to get some justice for those compatriots who suffered in the war in the past.
