Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Since there are still a few days before the screening ceremony, after Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong first came to Japan, they mainly visited and played around, shopping and eating.

It has to be said that in terms of urban construction alone, in 1983, the gap between Tokyo and domestic capitals was still quite large.

Not to mention the domestic capital, even Seoul, the best city in South Korea, oh, it is still called Seoul now, is far inferior to Tokyo in terms of infrastructure.

The urban construction of Seoul started to look like it had to be after the Seoul Olympic Games. Before that, like now, it was not much better than the domestic capital.

Of course, at this time, South Korea's per capita GDP will exceed that of China. After all, the miracle of the Han River is indeed true, and it is one of the four Asian tigers.

In any case, in this era, the number one city in Asia has to be Tokyo, followed by Hong Kong and Singapore.

As for Seoul and Beishi, in terms of urban construction, they cannot be compared with Tokyo.

In 2023, a Chinese may not feel that kind of gap when he comes to Tokyo again, but in 1983, if a Chinese came to Tokyo, he would feel a great gap.

I think when Xu Chun and An Ping first came here, they felt lost for a while, and it was Cao Zhiqiang who comforted them instead.

These two are still staunch underground workers. Facing Tokyo at this time, they are a little bit lost, let alone ordinary people.

In fact, Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong were just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden at this time, and they were surprised by everything they saw in Tokyo.

It's nothing on the surface, but privately, their envy of the city of Tokyo is palpable.

This situation is similar to when the third brother came to Shanghai, China to shoot a video in 2023. The comments were full of envy, jealousy, disbelief and collapse.

What this must be a synthetic video, this must be a deceptive video, this must not be a common phenomenon, this is only a few cities, please go to the western region to shoot, why their rural areas are still poor, like us, etc. wait.

Both Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong are qualified and knowledgeable people. Of course, they are not as ordinary and arrogant as the third brother, and they have a certain amount of psychological preparation before coming here. Therefore, they are only amazed at the prosperity of Tokyo, but they are not yet As for blind denial and denial.

But having said that, although Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong did not deny the prosperity of Tokyo, they were a little too inferior. They always felt that it would take at least 100 years for China to catch up with here.

Hearing about the 100 years, Cao Zhiqiang frowned secretly.

It seems that after seeing the developed areas, the backward areas will catch up for a hundred years at every turn, but in fact there is no need at all.

"It won't take that long." Faced with Xu Qingdong's dejected comments, Cao Zhiqiang said with a faint smile, "Up to 40 years, no, 30 years is enough, we can reach and exceed here, at least the infrastructure level is acceptable."

"Are you joking?" Xu Qingdong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "30 years? 40 years? How is this possible?"

"Just wait and see if you don't believe me." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But old Xu, you have to lose weight and exercise more in the future. It's not good for you to be so fat at such a young age. It's easy to die early."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Qingdong said hastily, "What nonsense, I'm in good health, so I'm sure I'll live a long life."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case.

You listen to me in the future, eat less sugar and oil, eat a reasonable diet, exercise more, and don't stay up late, live a good life, and live to 30 years later, so that you can see the achievements of the motherland's construction and know me What you said is correct.

If you go on like this, you may not be able to live to 30 years later. "

Well, Cao Zhiqiang said that for a reason.

Because Cao Zhiqiang remembered that Xu Qingdong didn't seem to have a long life. In his previous life, he seemed to have died in 2014, and he was only 68 years old when he passed away.

After entering the 21st century, people like Xu Qingdong, who are not short of money, left at the age of 68. They belonged to the early group.

Therefore, this is most likely related to his living habits and eating habits.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang used this incident to persuade him.

"Damn, don't curse me." Xu Qingdong shook his head, "My health is very good, at least I can live another 50 years!"

"Yes, yes, very good." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang said seriously: "But Lao Xu, you still have to pay attention. Well, if you don't believe me, you should trust Japanese doctors, right? It was Japanese doctors who suggested that you should eat less and exercise more. It is best to only eat for a day." Two meals, this is called a ketogenic diet.

This way of eating is not only good for the body and prolongs life, but also makes people more energetic. "

"Really?" Xu Qingdong frowned, "Ketogenic diet? Only eat two meals a day, isn't this the Taoist bigu?"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded and said, "It's similar to Taoism's bigu. Taoism is very famous for health preservation. If you don't believe in Japanese doctors, you should also believe in things from your ancestors."

Xu Qingdong touched his chin and nodded: "Well, to put it this way, I have been having trouble sleeping recently. How about I find a qigong master and learn qigong after I go back."

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while.

After co-authoring and talking for a long time, he actually believed in qigong?

But yes, during this period, qigong is popular in China, there are qigong masters everywhere, and there are all kinds of miraculous qigong everywhere.

It seems that many documentaries were filmed during this period, recording the miraculous qigong of qigong masters.

But in Cao Zhiqiang's view, it was just a trick of the rivers and lakes, just like a magic show.

It’s just that Western magic, people tell you in advance that it’s fake, and it’s purely for appreciation, while qigong is done in a supernatural way, obviously it’s magic tricks, not superpowers.

But having said that, some qigong is also good for strengthening the body.

For example, Baduanjin, Wuqinxi, Liuzijue, and Taijiquan are still useful in terms of health preservation.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say any more, at most, after returning to China, he would help Xu Qingdong's staff and let him practice some serious things, just don't mess up.

As for Cao Zhiqiang himself, he absolutely does not practice. If he has that skill, taking more walks and swimming is better than anything else.

After talking about health preservation, everyone continued to play in Tokyo, and naturally bought a lot of things.

Among them, Xu Qingdong and Zhu Lin themselves don't have much money to buy.

It's not that the two of them really have no money, but that the yen and foreign exchange they can exchange now is so little, and if there are too many, the state will not approve it.

Unlike Cao Zhiqiang, who earns yen in Japan with hand cramps, he is not short of money at all.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is not considered a gift, but a loan.

That is to say, lend them Japanese yen to spend, and after they return to China, they can just pay back their own RMB.

That's actually pretty cheap for them already.

Because Cao Zhiqiang asked to repay in RMB, of course it was at the official exchange rate.

But in fact, in the real market, the exchange rate of yen to RMB far exceeds the official exchange rate.

To put it simply, there is a severe shortage of foreign exchange in China, but the demand for Japanese goods is very high, so the actual value of the yen is higher.

This is especially evident in Hainan, because on Hainan Island, there is a large amount of foreign exchange in circulation among the people, and there is also a private foreign exchange price.

In Hainan, the exchange rate between the yen and the RMB has already fallen below [-] to [-], which means that one yuan of RMB can only be exchanged for [-] yen.

But at the official exchange rate, one yuan of RMB can be exchanged for 120 yen at present.

From this point of view, Cao Zhiqiang really suffered a disadvantage when he lent Japanese yen to them to spend in Japan, and then returned to China with the official exchange rate in RMB.

But Cao Zhiqiang really didn't care about this.

After all, if it wasn't a matter of face, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to give it away directly, so he didn't want to borrow or borrow it.

When everyone finally got tired from playing, after returning to the residence, Xu Qingdong was in poor health and couldn't bear it any longer, so he went back to his room to sleep soon.

It was Zhu Lin who found an opportunity to wink at Cao Zhiqiang, so Cao Zhiqiang quietly asked Xu Chun to go outside to buy some ingredients and come back to prepare dinner later.

After Xu Chun, the only light bulb, left and only Zhu Lin and Cao Zhiqiang were left in the living room, Zhu Lin couldn't control it anymore.

Not long after Xu Chun left, Zhu Lin suddenly stepped forward and hugged Cao Zhiqiang, rubbed her face against Cao Zhiqiang's chest, and murmured: "You have no conscience, you haven't come to me for so long , I thought you really had something important to do, but it turned out that you lingered here.

Hmph, it's no wonder you don't go back, it's so nice here, you really don't want to leave! "

Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback for a moment, then hugged Zhu Lin with his backhand and smiled: "Oh, my good sister, you have wronged me.

Although it's very busy here, it's not every day I play here in Tokyo.

In fact, it was only when you came that I went to so many places with you, and after playing for so long, I basically never go out. "

"Hmph, you lied to me!" Zhu Lin raised her head and gave Cao Zhiqiang a blank look.

Cao Zhiqiang quickly raised his right hand: "I swear, I didn't lie to you! I'm busy writing songs and writing scripts here, and then I'm busy making money. I don't go out of the gate all day long. How can I have time to play around? .”

Zhu Lin looked at Cao Zhiqiang, sighed, and took off Cao Zhiqiang's swearing hand: "No need to swear, I'll just say that, I, I just miss you so much."

Speaking of this, Zhu Lin shyly let go of Cao Zhiqiang, covered her face with her hands and said, "I don't know what's wrong, since you left, I always miss you, and now I see you, I can't help it.

I, I am not this kind of woman, why did I become like this? "

Seeing Zhu Lin covering his face with his hands and blaming himself, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, put his arms around the other's shoulder lightly and said, "Sister Zhu, the answer is very simple, this is love."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, put down her hands and raised her head, staring blankly at the face of Cao Zhiqiang who was close at hand.

After looking at it for a while, Zhu Lin suddenly exploded, hugged Cao Zhiqiang's head with both hands, and kissed Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang also responded quickly. The actions of the two sides became more and more intense, and there was less and less clothes. It seemed that there would be a live exchange of fire.

But at this moment, the phone in the living room rang suddenly.

The ringing of the phone woke Zhu Lin up, so she reacted suddenly and pushed Cao Zhiqiang away.

After pushing Cao Zhiqiang away, Zhu Lin panted and said, "No, the phone, answer the phone quickly."

"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang, who was already interested, shook his head and continued to hug Zhu Lin, "The phone is not as important as you."

"Don't!" Zhu Lin turned her head away, "You answer the phone first, then, then go back to my room, don't be here."

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang finally calmed down.

If you think about it carefully, it's really not suitable for the living room.

Although Xu Qingdong had already gone back to sleep, and Xu Chun was also sent out to buy groceries, but it was difficult to say the time.

And he, Cao Zhiqiang, and Zhu Lin reunited after a long absence, and if they really started to fight, it would be how long it would be.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, then go back to your room and wait for me."

Zhu Lin bit her lip and nodded, quickly pushed Cao Zhiqiang away, squatted down and picked up the jacket she had taken off before, then trotted up the stairs with a blushing face, and returned to her room.

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang take a deep breath, looked at the phone that was still ringing, and went to pick it up impatiently.

After picking up the phone, Cao Zhiqiang was about to respond impatiently, but found out that it was Akina Nakamori's female assistant.

After listening to it, I realized that the other party also sent a message, saying that Nagayama Kozo called Cao Zhiqiang, but Cao Zhiqiang was not there, so it was Akina Nakamori's female assistant who answered the call, and then Akina Nakamori's female assistant tried to make this call again. Find Cao Zhiqiang.

Hearing that it was Yongshan Kozo looking for him, Cao Zhiqiang hung up the phone and dialed Yongshan Kozo's pager.

After calling Yongshan Kozo's pager, Cao Zhiqiang, who had calmed down a little, waited beside him for a call.

Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed again, lamenting the inconvenience of communication.

If there is a mobile phone, how can there be so much trouble.

But it's okay, at least pagers here in Japan are now very common, and there are phones everywhere, although it's a bit troublesome, it's not too difficult to find someone.

On the other hand, in China, this aspect is far behind. No wonder it is so difficult to catch a wanted criminal.

But in fact, mobile phones, that is, mobile phones, have already appeared at this time, but most of them are in the experimental nature, and the real commercial mobile phones have not yet appeared.

Even though Japan was the first to open the cellular mobile phone network, the area of ​​the cellular mobile phone network is still small at this time, and it is still experimental in nature, and there are only a handful of people who can really use mobile phones.

In the history of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, the first commercial mobile phone was born in 1985, but that kind of phone was not so much a phone as a mobile radio.

Because that kind of phone puts the power supply and antenna in a package, with a total weight of 3 kilograms, which is similar to the communication package carried by a signal soldier.

The mobile phone with real practical significance, that is, the most familiar mobile phone, did not appear until 1987, and then developed rapidly in the 90s.

In other words, at this moment, let alone domestic countries, even Europe and the United States, which are the most technologically advanced, do not have small mobile phone technology with real practical value.

If the system can provide this kind of technology in advance and let its own country develop this in advance, it will be developed.

After all, the mobile communication industry is a big cake. At least trillions of economic added value must be calculated in US dollars.

Unfortunately, this is what I think about.

Because even if the system gives you the technology, with the current domestic capital and technology accumulation, it will take a long time to fully understand and produce it.

However, if it is produced in Xiangjiang, it will be different.

Xiangjiang is still a British colony and a duty-free port, where parts and components can be shipped from all over the world.

If you really have big brother technology in advance and produce it in Xiangjiang, it will be developed.

So the key question is, when will the system's rewards be able to issue mobile phone technology? (end of this chapter)
