Age of Dreams

At eight o'clock in the evening, Koto-ku, Tokyo.

Xiao Qi himself ate a bowl of beef well rice at the "YA" next to him, and casually dealt with dinner.

So far, outside of the two factions of McDonald's and KFC in the United States, there are very few other fast food chains that can open more than 100 chains, let alone all over the world.

But the Japanese did it. A beef and rice chain called "Yoshinoya" has not only opened throughout Asia, but they have also been involved in Europe and the United States, and the business is pretty good.

When it comes to the management philosophy inside, Xiao Qi doesn't quite understand, but he also knows how difficult it is to achieve this step.

McDonald’s and KFC are better, anyway, as long as it tastes exactly the same and unpalatable, but Niujing...well, that is, beef rice bowl, requires a lot of craftsmanship, and it is popular all over the world. It takes more effort.

In the previous life, Xiao Qi had only heard of Niujing rice and was not interested, but today he came here to taste it.

The taste can't be said to surprise him, but it is also quite satisfactory, with a little sweetness, plus some red ginger, which suits most people's tastes.

At least occasionally, even those who eat spicy food in Sichuan will like it, not to mention that 80% of people in the world don't like spicy food.

Speaking of China’s food culture, it is absolutely broad and profound. There are countless better than this beef rice bowl, but there is no one that can be scaled up.

You talk about hot pot, although it has spread across five continents, they are all working independently, which is not a chain development.

The foreign ones are a little better. They have strict monitoring standards. Once something goes wrong, even if your dad is Bush, it’s useless. Didn’t you see Nixon step down because of the Watergate incident?

But the domestic ones seem to make people laugh and cry.

As long as it is scaled up, it will definitely start to engage in crooked ways, and try to use inferior ingredients to serve as a good one, to defraud money.

After all. To be a food company is to be a conscience. In the past few years, those people in China who have a conscience have turned into a conscience. How can they be able to do a good industry?

When he returned to his thoughts, Xiao Qi had already walked to a large house with beautiful English written on the door sign. There were five or six security guards standing at the door, their glasses staring around. It's like a prison guard.

The big house is not on a large street, but on a small remote street. There are many high-end izakayas and western restaurants around. The street lights are not bright, and they look very elegant.

Seeing Xiao Qi coming over, a security guard with earphones stepped forward. "Sir, I'm very sorry, we won't receive guests here today."

The bodyguards behind him also subconsciously touched his waist, which was obviously armed.

Japan, like China, pays great attention to the control of guns, otherwise they would not dare to legalize the black gangs-the Yamaguchi group of tens of thousands, the Inagawa society of tens of thousands, and the Sumiyoshi society of tens of thousands. Once you have a gun, the fun is great!

Since the few bodyguards in front of them are equipped with firearms, at least they have the doorway.

"Someone has an appointment with me." Xiao Qi confirmed the house number, and said lightly in English.

"You are... Mr. Xiao?" The security guard changed to English with an awkward accent.

"I'm Xiao Qi."

"Ah, hello, Mr. Xiao, please come in... the guests are already waiting for you inside!" The security nodded and greeted Xiao Qi with a smile on his face.

When Xiao Qi entered, several security guards immediately scattered even more. The light at the door was getting dim.

...

"Hey, Xiaojianlang, have you photographed it?"

"I got it, but it's not that clear."

"What did you do? Just now, when Jobs went in, you didn't take the picture clearly, and now another one comes, and you can't take the picture clearly. This video camera and camera are the most high-end!"

"The lighting is very bad now, and I wear a lot in winter. Of course, my face is not well illuminated, and it has nothing to do with the machine... I am talking about the boss. Don't worry about that much. Let's go back with the tape and photos. The president is not Have you said it? You can get the news right away... Haha, I didn't think it was really Jobs, but we posted this time!"

"Idiot! Jobs coming to Japan is very explosive news, but why did he come to Japan quietly? Why is he meeting guests here quietly in the dark? Who are the guests who are worth waiting for this stinky person... You have considered these questions? No?"

"Huh? You have to consider these?"

"So, you have no prospects for development in your life! I'm sure that the second person is absolutely equal to Jobs, and the things they came here to discuss must be big things! If we can dig this out, then But it's really developed!"

"What you said, boss! What should we do then?"

"Wait a minute, wait until they come out, take their frontal photos! You stay here first, I'll call for more people, dog. Japanese, the security guards are very tough at first sight. It is necessary to ensure that cameras and cameras are not robbed."

"it is good!"

...

A house in Tokyo, as long as it is a single-family house with the first floor and the bottom, um, that is, the kind of house that the Ding Dong cats have, it will definitely not be able to live in ordinary people.

Like Xiao Qi walking in now, a large house with pavilions and waterside pavilions has a history of hundreds of years, most of which is the ancestral house of a prince.

The Tokugawa family is very capable. They like to recruit many of the princes' descendants to Tokyo to have fun, and then put them back to accept the hereditary official positions of their fathers and grandparents when they reach adulthood.

A group of people who were taught that they could only eat, drink and have fun, of course, there is no threat to the Tokugawa shogunate.

Because of this, there are actually many such spacious houses in the most central area of ​​Tokyo, but ordinary people don't know it.

A beautiful young woman in her thirties wearing a kimono gently took Xiao Qi to a brightly lit room.

Although it is a Japanese-style room, it is still the kind of sliding paper doors on both sides, but Jobs did not sit cross-legged according to Japanese custom, but held a high stool, sat there facing the water pavilion, and said in a whisper. Talking.

This clubhouse is not big, there are six rooms like this, but they were built around the water pavilion, which looks very quiet and quiet.

Except for this room with the lights on, the other five rooms are completely dark. Obviously this place has been cleared for the sake of Joe's gang leader.

Xiao Qi knew that the leader of the Qiao Gang was a person who was completely non-stop for his peace of mind, but that such a person was actually a devout Buddhist, which was really contradictory.

Of course, the leader of Qiao's gang himself is an extremely contradictory person, regardless of his character or his conduct.

After the beautiful woman sent Xiao Qi to her, she left respectfully.

There were a pile of fruits and desserts on the table, all looking delicate, Xiao Qi was not welcome, and sat down and slowly tasted them.

In a short time, Jobs finished his call. He frowned, and when he walked to sit down next to Xiao Qi, he squeezed a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, it's been a long time since I haven't seen you, how are you doing these days?" Jobs greeted casually, still habitually staring at Xiao Qi with the eyes of a falcon, creating a sense of urgency.

The teenager picked up champagne ~www.readwn.com~ and poured a glass for both of them, "It's okay! Stephen, your NE is very popular recently, I want to wish you a successful sale here!"

Jobs is not as skinny and skinny as he will later, but his face is pale: "The pre-sale of NE will start next month. It is estimated that the first shipment will reach 3 million units. Pre-sold out in days?"

"Do you also use the pre-sale system?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.

"Well, your method has given me a lot of inspiration. The pre-sale system can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of customers, but also return funds earlier, which is much better than on-site sales." Jobs said without hesitation.

Xiao Qi's head was big for a while.

Apple’s pre-sale system in the previous life was only implemented in a few countries. Why has it now become a pre-sale system from the beginning?

It seems that after being born again, many things have changed a lot. (To be continued.
