Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 290 Crossing East to Fusang

The police here in Xiangjiang are not stuck. As long as you have a legal identity certificate from Xiangjiang or an official certificate from the mainland, they can let you go. However, Luohu Port is very strict. There are no procedures and receipts for family visit applications. If you enter and exit the customs, even if You have Xiangjiang ID, so why not go? Go and be investigated first.

When Zhu Xuefeng hurried to the dock, Wu Qianqian was almost crazy with anxiety. She didn't know where Mr. Zhu had gone. She only knew that the ship was leaving in less than half an hour.

"Boss, you're finally here. This ship won't wait for anyone. We'll get on the ship right away. All the materials are ready. We'll see when we get on the ship..."

"We are the only one here, and we don't even have a translator. Do you know Japanese?"

"I'm sorry, boss, I don't speak Japanese, but you only gave me so much time. It's too late to recruit people. I don't understand Japanese, so I can't interview. I can only go and look for them again."

Zhu Xuefeng thought about it. In just a few days, he had arranged a lot of things, which was a bit overwhelming.

"Then we'll find someone as soon as we arrive."

There is no navigation between the two places now, so we can only go there by boat. The cruise ship takes three days and three nights, the cargo ship takes five or six days. The ticket for the fast ship that Zhu Xuefeng asked Wu Qianqian to prepare also takes one day and two nights. The time to arrive in Japan happens to be in the morning.

It would be great if we could start from Shanghai. The cruise only takes one day and one night. The Xiangjiang River is much further south, so the journey is quite far.

The space in the cabin is very small. Although it cost a lot of money, the conditions are like this. The conditions on the cruise ship are better, but Zhu Xuefeng cannot afford the time.

There was no choice now. The two of them were crowded into a small cabin, and Zhu Xuefeng was browsing the materials that Wu Qianqian carefully prepared.

It marked the tools and equipment to be purchased, as well as various materials and selected transistors. Wu Qianqian was very curious and prepared relevant materials according to Mr. Zhu's requirements. Mr. Zhu built a radio model in less than a day.

Although it is very crude, it is all in bulk and cannot be formed, but the effect is very good. The signal, sound quality, and battery life are far higher than those of Xiaoli products.

Wu Qianqian was full of expectations for this trip. The radio factory would definitely make money, a lot of small money. Will she get a salary increase? Wu Qianqian secretly cursed herself.

She was too greedy. She had only worked for Mr. Zhu for a few days and had not made any money yet, so she wanted to raise her salary. However, thinking of the regrets of her neighbor sisters after hearing about her resignation, Wu Qianqian resisted and did not reveal her current salary, which was four times. ah.

"Miss Wu, this material is very well made, very detailed, and very thoughtful. I have nothing to add at the moment. When the time comes, it will be up to you to discuss it yourself. Are you confident that you can complete it?"

Go talk to yourself, the boss is here, so you are not suitable.

"But, boss, I, I don't speak Japanese. I know there is a translator, but this is our first time working together, so I'm afraid I'll be cheated..."

Wu Qianqian was a little nervous. The boss might not think the money was much, but with the estimated amount of each transaction, she couldn't afford to lose even if she sold herself.

"It's okay. There are many international students in Japan, and the firm's business is also very good. We will definitely find the translator you need. Besides, you can give me a look before signing."

"Do you speak Japanese? Why don't you, boss, come and talk to me in person? I'll accompany you and help you."

Zhu Xuefeng was sitting on the bunk. He raised his head and glanced at Wu Qianqian with a smile. Wu Qianqian was squatting in front of the bunk. Her face turned red and she quickly covered her breasts, which she suspected were exposed.

Zhu Xuefeng curled his lips, thinking that he was really in a hurry. If he wanted to see, what was the use of a small hand? He said to Wu Qianqian with a serious look on his face.

"Why, you want the boss to be your translator."

Wu Qianqian also realized that it was inappropriate. Before she could speak, her boss continued.

"You can just go ahead and do it. Although my character is not good in my childhood, I still have credibility in this kind of small business. I have more important things to do, so I can only do it myself."

It was early in the morning when we arrived at the port of Rijing. The climate here is a typical island climate, but the temperature is a little lower than that of Xiangjiang. It was just dawn. Although Wu Qianqian did not speak Japanese, she had still been to Rijing.

"Boss, where are we going next? Are we going to arrange accommodation in the city? I have selected several hotels. You can decide which one is suitable."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, and Wu Qianqian had to stop. She had made arrangements before coming, including the itinerary and accommodation. Unexpectedly, she was interrupted at the first one. She originally wanted to let the boss feel that she was thoughtful and meticulous in handling things.

Now I suddenly realize that I have never reported to my boss. This is a big mistake. After all, I have never been a secretary, so I still don’t think things through. I have to make up for it when I go back. I hope my boss won’t mind this time.

"Call a taxi. Let's go to Ueno and find a bigger hotel. We'll stay in Ueno today."

Ueno is in the north, and now the two of them are at the dock, which is southwest of Rijing. To get there, they have to pass through Rijing City, which is not close. But the boss said something, and Wu Qianqian had no choice but to obey.

The prosperity of Japan and Beijing is indeed higher than that of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang is now more like an urban-rural fringe. The vast majority of people are still struggling in poverty, but in the small days, it was already a city.

Ordinary people are neatly dressed in suits and leather shoes, and there are many people rushing to work with small bags. It has only been more than ten years since the war, but now it seems to have been completely restored. The roads are wider than in Xiangjiang, and the traffic flow is greater.

There are several obvious differences. The appearance and speed of the trains running across the city in Xiangjiang are far inferior to those in Japan and Beijing. The white trains roar past on special bridges, and various small Japanese cars are mixed in with the buses. Passing in sequence, there is no acceleration to force overtaking, they all pass in sequence, and only merge into the same lane to overtake when they reach a wider road.

The crowds are also in a hurry, and groups of people pass through intersections. There is really no need to say that there is a sense of order in these small days. This is probably one of the core of their culture.

There are many simple motorcycles on the sidewalks, which are not seen in Xiangjiang. Xiaozi’s motorcycles are now focusing on the market of Laos and the United States. Laos and the United States are rich and have motorcycle culture. Xiaozi thinks that he has made the right choice.

He was surprised that there was a camera in the taxi. Zhu Xuefeng was a little confused. There is no digital technology now. What kind of camera is this? How to store photos or videos? A mysterious little day.

"见ているのはソニーのテープカメラでドライブレコーダーの"

("Sir, what you are seeing is a Sony tape camera, used as a dash cam.")

The taxi driver answered Zhu Xuesong's questions promptly. (No more translation later)

Is there a driving recorder at this time? Zhu Xuefeng is very curious. It seems that his brain is still very good in his childhood. He will absorb more things this time.

Domestic research on cutting-edge technology is still ahead of Xiaotian, but there is very little civilian use. Technology and talents are mainly concentrated in a limited number of fields. Military technology that was restricted after Xiaotian's defeat in World War II is rapidly being used by civilians. The flowering and fruiting of flowers may be something that the whole world has not thought of.

"Boss, don't you want to do this too?"

"Why not? Let's investigate and understand first, and then investigate the market demand in Xiangjiang when we go back. If everyone wants it, of course we can do it, but there is no rush this time. Let's write it down first and talk about it later."

Wu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. This time her boss's time requirements were very tight and there was no flexibility at all. She had to leave when the time came. She bought a ticket to go back when she got off the ship. Although I don't understand, I have to do it. I'm really afraid that if I arrange a new task, I might not be able to complete it. Now that I have changed my residence, I have to re-plan my itinerary.

"Excuse me, are there any hotels in Ueno that are larger or with better conditions?"

The driver seemed very confident. Although he was smiling, he was too professional.

"Sir, the largest hotel in Ueno is the Ueno Grand Hotel. Our hotels in Rikyo are the best in Asia. Any one of them can make your stay comfortable and pleasant, and all the services and food will satisfy you."

Wu Qianqian smiled. "They are all the best, so there is no best. I don't believe it. They are both better than the Peninsula Hotel and Miramar Hotel in Hong Kong."

The Peninsula Hotel and the Miramar Hotel are both top hotels in Xiangjiang. They have grand buildings, complete facilities, and top-notch services. Needless to say, the food in Xiangjiang has always been world-famous.

Fortunately, the driver did not understand Chinese and did not argue about the quality of the hotel. However, Zhu Xuefeng realized that Xiaoli's self-confidence had grown out of the shadow of a defeated country in just a dozen years.

The two of them did not ask the driver again, but just looked out the window and admired the early morning in Japan. Finally, they followed the driver's suggestion and rested at the Ueno Hotel.

Although she didn't understand why the boss didn't choose to live in the most prosperous area but came to the north, Wu Qianqian had no complaints and quickly arranged accommodation.

I immediately started contacting the office, preparing to first find a suitable translator, then visit the factory, and finally negotiate and place an order. The task was not easy. After all, there were other materials, tools, and equipment to purchase.

"Miss Wu, you can work according to your schedule today. Don't disturb me. I'm going to rest now. I'll have food delivered to my room at noon. Thank you."

After Zhu Xuefeng finished explaining, he closed the door, leaving Wu Qianqian in a daze. The boss came all the way to sleep. He hadn't slept enough on the boat, so he didn't feel too tired. He shook his head. He was the boss, so he should be busy with himself first. task.

The efficiency of the office is still very high. In less than two hours, two translators, a man and a woman, arrived at the hotel.

"Hello, Miss Wu, we were introduced by Kawasaki Office. Please allow me to introduce myself."

Both of them were international students when they were young, both were seniors and spoke fluent Japanese. One was Luo Zhengtao, a boy majoring in economics, and the other was Lu Wei, a law major.

"Hello, welcome to your arrival. Obviously, you are all excellent. Let's do this. I have hired both of you. I will ask you to help me in the past few days. Let's..."

Compared to the busy Wu Qianqian, Zhu Xuefeng is not relaxed at all. He is currently lying on the bed, concentrating on his own affairs.

According to Wu Qianqian's idea, these things can be ordered in Xiangjiang, and they will arrive in about ten days at most, but the boss insists on coming in person.

After arriving, he locked himself in the hotel. The purchasing task this time was very simple, but there were still three things that were not easy to handle, and he had to find someone.

One is that the boss wants to visit the electronics factory, precision equipment factory, and motorcycle factory in person. The other is that he wants to talk to the electronics factory. The boss put forward a list of all the products he requested and wants to talk to the electronics factory about production. .

Another one wants to buy some equipment, some mechanical processing out of nowhere. The boss doesn't have a machine shop now, and he has made clear requirements for machine tools, whether they are new or old.

"Ms. Wu, we contacted the precision equipment factory. They agreed to arrange a visit tomorrow morning and sign a purchase contract at the same time."

"Ms. Wu and Honda refused to visit, saying that there were currently no suitable goods for sale. I contacted a local motorcycle factory, Rongtian Company, but this motorcycle factory directly stated that if they wanted to purchase all the equipment of the motorcycle factory, they would You can go take a look, what’s the next step?”

The boss said he would visit the motorcycle factory. Wu Qianqian thought the boss might want to use a trading company to sell motorcycles, but she had never heard of building a motorcycle factory.

"Where are the electronics factories? Didn't Rikyo Electronics Factory reply? Sony, Sanyo, and Toshiba didn't reply."

"Miss Wu, I'm sorry, not yet. We will continue to contact you later."

Zhu Xuefeng was looking at the scene in front of him attentively, recording it seriously, then stood up and sketched something on the paper.

I rubbed my eyes. It was really tiring. I watched it for more than two hours at a stretch. This is the most exhausting time I have ever had. I hope it will achieve good results.

"Hello, excuse me."

The waiter's voice came from outside the door. Zhu Xuefeng looked at the time, walked over, and opened the door. The waiter at the door was holding a large tray with two layers on it.

"Sorry to bother you, I will bring you lunch as per your request. Please use it slowly. If you finish enjoying it, you can notify us to come and clean it up."

"Give it to me, I'll do it myself, thank you."

Zhu Xuefeng took the tray smoothly. Typical Japanese cuisine was divided into three layers. It was nothing more than sushi, Japanese ramen, curry rice, sashimi, sukiyaki, miso soup, and some side dishes and cut fruits. , each kind is very small, but there are many kinds, and you should be able to eat enough. Wu Qianqian also paid attention to it.

In general, the various ingredients are brightly colored, especially the small plates, small square plates, and various utensils. It seems that they are trying hard to create a visual sense of high-end. Our ancestors in childhood were much more miserable than those in mainland China. Materials In short supply, I would be very satisfied with a rice ball and pickle sticks, which meant I relied on stolen tableware to find a sense of luxury.

After setting the meal and eating a few mouthfuls, the door rang again, this time it was Wu Qianqian.

"Boss, I know you should be eating, but I'm afraid of disturbing your rest at other times..."

"It's okay. Sit down. I'll eat my food. If you have anything to say, just say it. It's okay."

Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng didn't pay attention, Wu Qianqian reported the morning's situation, and Zhu Xuefeng thought about it while eating.

"If the motorcycle factory is not far away, you can arrange to visit it in the afternoon. If he is really willing to sell it, it doesn't matter if you buy it, it just depends on the price."

"In addition, electronics factories need to hurry up, and there are also Honda's racing motorcycles. Let's see if they can be purchased."

　Sony tape cameras used as driving recorders did exist in Japan in 1961 and were relatively common.
