National Tide 1980

In the chaotic waiting hall of Narita Airport, heads of people were floating around.

The place was crowded with all kinds of Japanese old men and women, screaming and crying, offering flowers and hugs.

The intensity was enough to break a big hole in the ozone layer in Tokyo's sky.

This is a senior tour group that is about to leave for Hawaii in the United States.

Each group has at least a hundred people, and often a whole Boeing 737 is chartered to go there.

Today, although Japan's industrial production continues to bleed due to the weakness of export trade, it has suffered heavy losses.

However, due to the appreciation of the local currency, the consumption of imported products has increased simultaneously, and the cost of studying abroad and traveling abroad has also become cheaper.

Especially the elderly who have retired from government departments and enterprises and enjoy the "welfare pension".

Because he had money and time, he immediately became a high-quality customer group targeted by travel agencies.

So in the past six months, travel projects specially designed for these elderly people have become the mainstream business of Japanese travel agencies.

Especially towards the end of the year, more and more such scenes begin to be staged at major international airports in Japan.

To put it bluntly, just like thirty years later, "overseas travel" also emerged in mainland China, and it was almost at its peak.

At that time, around Christmas, there were also many uncles and aunts in China who were traveling to Hong Kong, Macao or abroad.

Does it make people dizzy?

faint.

Is it disturbing?

Noisy.

But for Ning Weimin, it was painful and happy at the same time.

Because even he didn't expect that this situation would turn out to be a good opportunity for him to sell trolley suitcases.

He originally came to the airport that day just to see Zou Guodong board his flight back home.

But when they walked into the crowd of old people, each holding a huge trolley suitcase, they immediately became the most dazzling stars.

Because even though these old men and women are all dim-sighted, they generally need glasses to see.

But the problem is that they have the most personal pain in dealing with heavy luggage during the journey.

No young person can imagine that these old people brought their luggage to the airport to meet up. How much physical effort and money were spent in the specific process?

Therefore, when the members of the senior group saw the two young people, they acted like they were playing in front of them, and each of them strolled in with a large suitcase.

Under the box, there were several small wheels that turned like hot wheels.

And if you want to turn, you can turn, and if you want to stop, it's called being able to use your fingers like an arm, and that's called being at ease.

Can they not be surprised? Can you not be envious?

To put it bluntly, is this equivalent to eating meat-stuffed biscuits in front of hungry people?

And it’s still Tianfu Hao’s sauce elbow.

Therefore, these old men and women are completely different from other tourists.

They looked sideways, and they were curious, but looking at Ning Weimin and the others, they knew they had to catch a flight, and no one had the nerve to bother them, so they just wanted to take a look.

Their group of senior citizens didn't hesitate to do that, and Wuyang immediately surrounded them.

Just like the robbers met the wedding party, they would not let them go even if they were dead.

They all asked around, one asked where they bought it, the other asked how much it cost.

Good guy, the more people surrounded us, the more people gathered around us, and soon the crowd was so full that even the tour guide who led the group tried to persuade us, but it was of no use.

Ning Weimin was first surprised and then happy, first scared and then laughed. He looked at his watch and saw that the registration time was still nearly an hour away, so he didn't care about Zou Guodong.

I chatted enthusiastically with these old men and ladies, boasting about the functionality of their product.

Although the on-site conditions did not allow him to sell on the spot, after all, the goods were ahead of their time and he gained a lot.

First, he found that these old people were very wealthy financially.

The average monthly pension guarantee of 240,000 yen for a couple gives them enough financial ability and travel needs to purchase this kind of trolley suitcase.

Second, he obtained the contact numbers and addresses left by many elderly people on the spot.

Many people couldn't wait to ask him to contact them after the new year and have them delivered directly to their doorsteps.

This is equivalent to an order in disguise.

Third, Ning Weimin also discovered that even tour guides from travel agencies are very fond of this kind of suitcase.

He also left his address and expressed that he wanted to buy a few for his colleagues in the company.

So he was inspired and immediately realized that the best sales method was at hand, which was to cooperate with travel agencies.

This not only means that he should contact and negotiate with Japanese travel agencies as soon as possible.

What's more important is that his cooperation with domestic travel agencies can start immediately.

You know, the major travel agencies in the capital originally had close cooperation with Tan Palace and Zhai Palace, led by Ning Weimin, and had a good relationship.

For such a small matter, he only needed to tell Zhang Shihui and ask him to contact the major travel agencies to discuss the profit sharing ratio, and it would be implemented immediately.

Look how big this thing is. Even when you are walking to the airport, you can still pick up such a thick wallet.

At least millions of yen worth of goods were sold in advance, and he came up with such a wonderful sales channel.

Who has such luck?

In short, after a while of busy work, until it was time for the elderly group to board the plane, Ning Weimin stopped contentedly.

At this time, it was only half an hour before Zou Guodong checked in.

At this last moment, Ning Weimin realized that he seemed to have committed a profit-seeking mistake again.

It was obviously a gift, but as soon as he saw the deal coming, he couldn't hold it in his arms. He seemed a little sorry for Zou Guodong.

It's rude not to say anything, but also to let people stand with me for a long time. What kind of thing can I do?

So he quickly invited Zou Guodong to take a rest in the coffee shop.

But what he didn't expect was that these two days had not been in vain, and Zou Guodong showed magnanimity at this time.

Not only didn't he mind or get angry, but he acted like a big brother and even took the initiative to worry about him.

"I won't go to the cafe. It's quite expensive. I checked in my luggage and boarded the plane as soon as I spoke. Why spend that unnecessary money? To increase the GDP of the Japanese? It's better to save what you can. With this I would rather spend the money at home. Let’s just chat here.”

"Okay then. We're about to break up. If there's anything else you want to tell me, just tell me. Don't be polite to me."

"No business matters, we have already had a full exchange. The first thing to do when we go back, besides waiting for the remittance from Japan, is to increase the mass production of trolley suitcases and participate in as many global exhibitions as possible. It should be written down. I have already remembered it, and I will hand over the contract to Mr. Song. Anyway, aren’t you going back soon? If there are any problems later, we can find time to meet. It’s a private matter, and I have a few words to say. You speak."

"Okay, tell me. Do you want me to buy something and bring it back to you in a few days?"

"No, no, do you think I'm such a philistine? To be honest, I never accept anything from anyone. This time I accepted such an expensive watch like yours. I feel uneasy..."

"Okay, let's not mention this anymore...then what do you want to say?"

"Maybe you think I'm a bit redundant, and maybe you won't be happy after hearing it, but I still hope you can listen carefully to what I have to say. Because I have carefully considered the following words. As a person who is a few years older than you, I would like to remind you from a spectator’s perspective that you should treat your feelings with caution.”

"My feelings? You mean..."

"Yes, I am referring to that Japanese female star. To be honest, she is beautiful. Especially the character Xiao Xia she played in "March of Kamata", no man can not be tempted by her. But in my opinion, you still shouldn't be with her fall in love."

"Why?"

"Because movies are movies and reality is reality and cannot be confused. In real life, you can't give her happiness. You don't have this condition."

"I don't have this condition?"

Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned. His immediate reaction was that he was looked down upon by Zou Guodong.

"Because she is Japanese? I am Chinese? Just because she is a big star and I am a company employee? Do you think I am not good enough for her or can't support her?"

"None of them. Do you remember? Mr. Song also has a cross-border marriage, right? I have never had any prejudice against this kind of thing. I have no doubts about your financial ability. I just don't think highly of you and her. Everything about you is... The gap is too big and it’s simply unrealistic to be together.”

"What's unrealistic? No matter how big the gap is between us, it won't affect our relationship. She was very happy when we were together, and I can see it in her eyes."

"What you see is just an illusion."

Zou Guodong's expression was serious, which made Ning Weimin think his words were a bit mysterious.

Although he often contradicts Zou Guodong's views at work, he can completely trust his character.

So Ning Weimin wanted to calm down at this time and listen to Zou Guodong's understanding of love.

"You have to know that men and women have different understandings of happiness in love."

Zou Guodong considered every word and said, "A woman's happiness lies in every contact with a man after falling in love, including the man's attention, love and intimacy, as well as her own contribution bit by bit. For example, buying gifts, washing clothes, and cooking , or even some rougher and more tiring work. They can break the traditional concept and financially support men, and they can also get men's love regardless of merit in order to gain long-term love. There are too many such examples in history and reality. But men don't Likewise, a man's happiness is more focused on conquest. Especially once he conquers a woman with excellent conditions in all aspects, his happiness will be very great. In fact, more of this happiness is pride."

Ning Weimin was speechless, but he agreed in his heart.

At this moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was not only Matsumoto Keiko's joyful expression when she gave him a gift, but also Qu Xiao's surprised expression when she saw him downstairs in the apartment after buying a bunch of things last time.

"So..." Zou Guodong looked at Ning Weimin and continued, "A woman's happiness in love comes from her subconscious mind that she wants to marry this man. But when it comes to talking about marriage, happiness will have to be faced. To reality. The short-term happiness of contact is not worth the long-term reality of life. And for a man, the sense of responsibility is more important than the happiness he gets."

The last sentence made Ning Weimin burst into laughter. He suddenly lost his curiosity and felt that it was nothing but a few.

"I understand what you said, and it sounds philosophical. But to put it bluntly, falling in love without the purpose of getting married is just a hooligan?"

And this teasing reply almost made the serious Zou Guodong become angry.

"You are really... really..."

It took Zou Guodong a long time to collect his energy before he regained his calm demeanor.

"It's okay if you don't understand it this way. Let me ask you, if you think you are in love with that Japanese star, can you marry her?"

"Why can't I marry her?" Ning Weimin was confused in his heart, but on the surface he was unwilling to deny it.

"Don't act stupid, you definitely know what I'm talking about. How much older is she than you? How old will she be when you are thirty? Will you still treat her like you do today? If you are together, do you want to get married? ? Do you want a child? If you have a child, will you be considered a Chinese or a Japanese? Do you want to live in Japan forever from now on? Will you never mind other people's gossip behind your back and how they look at you? "

But Zou Guodong is not easy to fool, his eyes are as sharp as awls.

On this key issue, there was no room for Ning Weimin to conceal anything.

"Okay, I admit, I'm lustful, and I'm fascinated by her. I'm just greedy for her body, and I'm an absolute gangster. But so what? Aren't men supposed to be lustful towards the women they like? If you're not interested, that means you don't love her. I really haven't thought about whether to marry her or not, but is it wrong for me to have a crush on her? That all happens naturally. What's wrong with me liking her? Who did I offend whom? Whose business is it getting in the way? Besides, can’t I have more time to slowly think about these issues? "

After Ning Weimin finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

But not only were his complaints useless, Zou Guodong actually hurt his heart even more.

"Don't be stupid. Let me ask you, what about you towards Qu Xiao? Do you think the same about Xiao Qu?"

Seeing Ning Weimin being questioned, Zou Guodong shook his head in a worldly manner.

"You're too greedy. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Don't you understand this?"

Ning Weimin really wanted to say something, only children make choices.

But even he himself felt stupid for saying this. It would not be unfair at all if he was beaten to death by Zou Guodong because of this.

Not to mention that love is selfish, not many women are willing to share love with others.

Even the blessings of Qi Ren are just flashy and just enjoyable to watch.

People's time and energy are limited. In his current state, his pursuits have reached a higher level, and there are too many serious things to be completed.

Where can I still think about only spending money and time on raising women like in the past?

"If it were you, how would you choose?"

Ning Weimin was silent for a long time and couldn't help but ask Zou Guodong, but this sentence was actually nonsense.

"Which one do you think is the most precious, bear's paw or fish? Rare things are more valuable, so of course I will choose the more expensive ones over the more abundant ones."

Sure enough, Zou Guodong responded with the answer that everyone would tell.

But the problem is, we have to first distinguish which one is the fish and which one is the bear's paw.

Saying it is just like not saying it at all.

To be honest, what troubled Ning Weimin in his heart was actually a scale trying to weigh the weight of his emotions.

One end of the scale is Keiko Matsumoto, and now there is Qu Xiao on the other end.

It just so happens that this scale sometimes leans towards Matsumoto Keiko's end, and sometimes it leans towards Qu Xiao's end, and it never stabilizes.

It would make him upset and anxious.
