Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 555 Koizumi Today?How did you come?

After bidding farewell to Wu Qinghong who insisted on coming to see him off, Cao Zhiqiang, followed by Anping, boarded the plane to Hong Kong with Lou Xiaoe.

Yes, only the male secretary Anping followed, not the female secretary Xu Chun.

This is because during this period, this way of going abroad on business is more normal. It is often said that it is a waste of public money to have one more unnecessary person going out.

But this is not the main problem, the main problem is to avoid suspicion.

Because Xu Chun is still a young unmarried woman, and she goes abroad with two young men, Cao Zhiqiang and Anping, all day long.

No way, the atmosphere of this era is like this.

And judging from the last time I went to Japan, Cao Zhiqiang is actually enough to be accompanied by one person, and it would be even more inconvenient if there was one more person, especially one more woman.

So this time, it was only Anping who followed Cao Zhiqiang, which was reasonable and convenient. No one would doubt the combination of Cao Zhiqiang and Anping going abroad.

There was nothing to say all the way, when the plane landed at Hong Kong Airport, and received by Lou Xiao'e's brother, he took a car to a nearby hotel to rest.

Originally, Lou Xiaoe wanted Cao Zhiqiang to go to her house, but Cao Zhiqiang refused.

Firstly, it was really inconvenient, secondly, Cao Zhiqiang also knew that Lou Xiao'e didn't really want to invite him to his house.

Because Lou Xiaoe takes care of the children alone now, but the children usually live in school, so in Lou Xiaoe's current home, Lou Xiaoe usually lives alone.

A woman naturally doesn't want a bunch of outsiders to come suddenly, and it's almost as good as He Yuzhu's gone.

The reason for staying in Hong Kong is mainly to prepare funds and contracts for Lou Xiao'e, and of course a lawyer.

After all, it is a contract of 20 US dollars, which is not a small amount even in Hong Kong, so it must be taken seriously.

Early the next morning, Lou Xiaoe came with a lawyer.

Later, under the witness of Hong Kong lawyers and Xu Chun and Anping, Cao Zhiqiang and Lou Xiaoe both signed the share transfer contract and took a group photo. After doing this, Lou Xiaoe sent a check from HSBC.

The reason why it is so complicated is that there are no relevant laws and regulations in China at present, and everything depends on self-consciousness, which is completely different from Hong Kong.

20 US dollars is not a small amount, so Lou Xiaoe made it so complicated for the sake of insurance.

The share transfer contract is in triplicate, one for Cao Zhiqiang, one for Lou Xiaoe, and one for the lawyer.

Coupled with the group photos in triplicate, if Cao Zhiqiang really reneges on his debts, these can be used as evidence, and then used to sue domestically.

With these evidences, as long as the background behind Cao Zhiqiang is not too against the sky, and he is determined to renege on his debts, there is basically no problem.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't feel offended by this, but thought it was normal.

After all, he told Lou Xiaoe that he had been a neighbor, but this kind of relationship is not safe.

So it's better to be cautious, and there will be no trouble for each other.

In fact, even in China, if you want to sign a contract, private private contracts still count. It's just that when negotiating contracts in China, you don't usually hire a lawyer.

There is no way, firstly, domestic legal awareness in this area is still relatively scarce, and secondly, domestic lawyers are even scarcer, even if you want to find a lawyer, you will not be able to find one.

Of course, with the continuous opening up and the gradual liberalization of the economy, the domestic lawyer industry will gradually prosper, but it is only after the 90s that lawyers really start to be recognized by domestic people.

In short, after signing the contract and taking the check, the transaction of this share transfer is considered complete.

Since then, the restaurant Shiweitian is no longer owned by Cao Zhiqiang, but most of the chefs and waiters at Shiweitian still listen to Cao Zhiqiang.

That is to say, Lou Xiaoe bought the shares of Food For Heaven, which is equivalent to buying the signboard of Food For Heaven, and the production materials such as pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches attached to this store, and even the people hired by Food For Heaven are not It is regarded as the assets of Shiweitian, and even the house currently used by Shiweitian is not included in the shares.

In other words, not to mention the operating personnel of Shiweitian, [-]% of them are from Hongguang Machinery Factory, and the house that Shiweitian is currently using is still Cao Zhiqiang himself.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang did this on purpose, but when talking about shares, no one mentioned the house issue.

Lou Xiao'e always thought that the house she used for food was rented, which is actually true.

Because when Cao Zhiqiang bought the house of Food for the Sky, he deliberately included the rent in order to facilitate the calculation of accounts.

Therefore, from the accounts point of view, the expenditure item of the restaurant Shiweitian has a rent item, and one year's rent has been paid.

Although the rent is Cao Zhiqiang's left-handed and right-handed, and if you check carefully, you will find that there is no specific lease contract. It was just an expense item that was added in for the sake of settlement.

But the problem is that Lou Xiao'e made up her mind too quickly, and didn't investigate carefully at all. She instinctively thought that there was nothing wrong with this matter.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he didn't hide it on purpose, he really forgot about it.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang usually has so many things to do and is so busy, how can he have time to think about these details.

It was only later that Lou Xiaoe really took over the food for the sky, and the accountant she sent to check the accounts found this problem and reported it to Lou Xiaoe, so Lou Xiaoe felt that she was cheated.

Fortunately, Lou Xiaoe is also a reasonable person, so he notified Cao Zhiqiang very quickly. Cao Zhiqiang didn't talk nonsense when he heard about this problem. He first apologized to Lou Xiaoe, admitted his mistakes and negligence, and then simply paid 8 RMB. At a low price, he sold the house to Lou Xiao'e, and that was the end of the matter.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang's house cost 8 yuan, which is really not expensive.

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't spend much money when he bought the suite, after all, Cao Zhiqiang carried out some renovations and added facilities such as air conditioners later on.

What's more, the location of that house is really good. Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to ask for it, and it only cost 8 yuan, which is really not much.

It is precisely because of this that Lou Xiaoe feels that Cao Zhiqiang is reliable, and the cooperation in the future will become more and more close.

Of course, this is a story.

No matter what, with Lou Xiaoe's $20 check, plus Cao Zhiqiang's $23 exchanged in China, or $[-], he can live in Japan easily for a while, and even starting a company is not a problem.

The current USD/JPY exchange rate is 1 yen for 240 USD, so 23 USD is more than 500 million yen. This amount can definitely be regarded as the middle class in Japan at present, and you can buy a good house. The house is gone.

Even in Tokyo today, the current average house price is only 30 yen per square meter, and buying a house of 3000 square meters is only [-] million yen.

Cao Zhiqiang went to Japan with more than 500 million yen, which is definitely a lot of money.

If it wasn’t for Cao Zhiqiang’s special situation, and he came to Hong Kong first, and then passed Lou Xiao’e to give a check in US dollars, normally, Cao Zhiqiang, a mainlander, would not be able to bring so much money from China to Japan, unless it is a formal trade of a state-owned enterprise.

However, Cao Zhiqiang went abroad to inspect the project in the name of going abroad on business. In theory, it is impossible to bring out so much money.

If you go abroad for an inspection project, you can get [-] U.S. dollars in foreign exchange to take it out, which is already a special approval.

Of course, this refers to the funds that Cao Zhiqiang can handle freely and aboveboard, and the [-] million U.S. dollar check he carries with him is not included.

Yes, when he went to Japan this time, Cao Zhiqiang also brought a large check for [-] million US dollars, which was from HSBC Bank just like the one Lou Xiaoe gave.

This is actually quite normal.

Because at present, when foreign countries conduct large-value account transactions with the mainland, they basically go to HSBC in Hong Kong first, and then transfer from HSBC to banks in the mainland, and vice versa.

Therefore, at least in this period, HSBC has contributed a lot to the country.

However, the [-] million U.S. dollars is public funds, or in other words, it is a transaction between the state and "Mist".

Even in reality, the money would still fall into Cao Zhiqiang's personal pocket, but at least not in name.

In other words, before Cao Zhiqiang used various methods to launder the money, he could not use the money casually, at least it was not free to use it, and he had to set up a clever name.

All in all, after completing the "food is the sky" deal with Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong, Cao Zhiqiang did not stay too long, and soon boarded a plane from Hong Kong to Japan with Anping, and went straight to Tokyo.

By the way, the aircraft security check during this period was really sloppy.

Cao Zhiqiang originally thought that the security checks for domestic planes were sloppy at this time, but he did not expect that the security checks at Hong Kong Airport were also sloppy at this time. There was no such thing as a careful search of bags and inspections, and it was enough to just pass through the security check gate.

The security check at Tokyo Airport in Japan is also sloppy, and there is no such thing as opening the bag for inspection. It is also through the security gate, as long as it does not ring.

Compared with the sloppy security check, whether it is Hong Kong Airport or Tokyo Airport, the inspection of passports, visas and other documents is very strict.

But even though the inspection of documents was very strict, Cao Zhiqiang still felt a little weird.

Because according to the level of security checks at Hong Kong Airport and Tokyo Airport, there are too many ways to avoid inspections.

Although it is indeed difficult to bring metal objects, some prohibited drugs and the like are actually easy to bring in.

No wonder there were so many airline accidents during this period, which seems to be related to the lax security checks.

Even so, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to take chances.

He will definitely not bring it outside if he can bring it through the system space.

When Cao Zhiqiang and Anping landed safely by plane and walked into the terminal, they immediately saw Masashi Sada who picked them up.

That's right, Masashi Sada was the only one who came to pick up the plane this time, and Masashi Sada's younger siblings did not follow.

This is in line with the pragmatism of the Japanese during this period.

After all, there are fewer people who come to pick up the plane, and the cost is less.

After leaving the airport, as usual, he took the subway first, then transferred to the bus, and finally walked a certain distance to the house rented by Cao Zhiqiang.

That's right, it was the house rented by Cao Zhiqiang.

Because when Cao Zhiqiang came to Japan last time, he had already rented a one-family building near Masashi Sada's house.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang did this to avoid crowding.

After all, when Cao Zhiqiang came to Japan last time, he borrowed Masashi Sada’s house at the beginning, and Masashi Sada’s house was not big, and the three brothers and sisters of Sada lived there, plus Cao Zhiqiang, An Ping and Xu Chun. It's very crowded.

That's why Cao Zhiqiang rented another apartment near Masashi Sada's house at that time.

Real estate transactions in Japan are very prosperous at this time, and the procedures for renting a house are also simple. Even foreigners, as long as they have a local Japanese as a guarantor and give enough deposit, it is very easy.

So when he came back this time, Cao Zhiqiang didn't go directly to Sada Masashi's house, but took Anping directly to the house he rented.

This is also in line with the politeness of the Japanese at this time, that is, if a person comes from afar, if he has his own place to live in the local area, try not to disturb his friends' house.

After coming to Japan for the second time, Masashi Sada thoughtfully asked Cao Zhiqiang to take a rest first, and he left soon, without staying to chat and spank.

It wasn't until the very end of dinner that evening that Masashi Sada brought his younger siblings and someone whom Cao Zhiqiang hadn't expected to visit together.

"Kyoko Koizumi? Why are you here?"

Yes, the girl in front of me wearing a shirt and jeans, a pair of sneakers, and a cool short hair is none other than Kyoko Koizumi.

Seeing her appearance made Cao Zhiqiang very surprised.

"What? Don't you welcome me?" Kyoko Koizumi pouted and pretended to be angry.

"How could that be?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a quick smile, "Koizumi, of course I welcome you very much, but what's strange about me is that I just came back today and I haven't notified anyone else yet. How do you know I'm back?"

Koizumi wrinkled his nose and snorted, then said, "Sister Reiko told me."

"Hi!" Reiko Sada next to him smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "I, Cao Sang, I'm sorry, Kyoko once invited me to a big meal, so I have a short mouth for eating people, so I had to promise him that if When you come back, let her know as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Sada Reiko raised the wagyu gift box in her hand: "Hey, to express my apology, I brought delicious beef this time. We can eat wagyu hot pot later, so let me make amends."

Yes, in the 80s, Japan had Wagyu gift boxes, and because Japanese Wagyu is expensive, this is indeed a high-end gift.

In Japan in the 80s, due to the rapid economic growth, most of the people advocated extravagance, so the way for many ordinary people to express their apologies was to bring a box of expensive wagyu gift boxes to their door to apologize.

Usually, when the apologetic party sees the other party coming with an expensive wagyu gift box, they will know that the other party has spent a lot of money and think it is a sincere apology. At this time, most people will choose to forgive the other party and eat happily together. Losing this wagyu means to let go of the past.

Of course, this way of apologizing for giving Wagyu gift boxes is usually played by middle-class Japanese families, and it is a feature of the 80s.

After the 90s, especially in Japan after the bubble burst, these customs of spending more money gradually disappeared, but South Korea began to play this trick again.

Coincidentally, Cao Zhiqiang knew about this custom, so when he saw the other party carrying a wagyu gift box and even sake, he knew that he could only choose to forgive, otherwise he would lose face.

How should I put it, Cao Zhiqiang thinks that the forced apology in Japan has the meaning of morally kidnapping the other party, even a bit of coercion.

Although I don't like this method very much, but I do as the Romans do, and Cao Zhiqiang is still begging the Sada Masashi family, and I don't want to make trouble with them, so I can only laugh, expressing that I don't care at all.

Of course, as far as Reiko Sada was concerned, her so-called apology was not sincere at all, because she was laughing and laughing throughout the whole process, obviously thinking that she did the right thing in revealing the news to Kyoko Koizumi, and the so-called apology was just a joke.

As everyone knows, Cao Zhiqiang actually hates Reiko Sada's self-assertion, especially self-assertion without Cao Zhiqiang's consent.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang has an unusual relationship with Koizumi Kyoko, Sada Reiko, as an outsider, shouldn't casually agree to the other party's request and disclose Cao Zhiqiang's whereabouts to the other party at will. In Cao Zhiqiang's view, it is a kind of impoliteness in itself.

But it was obvious that neither Reiko Sada nor her two older brothers thought there was any problem with this, it was a problem in itself.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang secretly made up his mind. When he had time, he chose to move to a place a little farther away from Sada's house.

Masashi Sada is okay, but his younger siblings, especially this younger sister, are really outrageous.
