Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

As a business expert, he knew how to make people feel comfortable, but he did not expect that young people were also proficient in higher-level interpersonal communication.

After the meal, Liu Bohong took the initiative to start the conversation: "Mr. Ye, our delegation is scheduled to visit some companies the day after tomorrow. If you want to join us, just wait at the hotel entrance at 8 o'clock the next morning."

Ye Chuan nodded and replied: "Well, I will go to the hotel to get a room tomorrow to facilitate travel."

"This is good. Tokyo Road will be a bit congested during the morning rush hour, so it is really convenient to book a place to stay early." Liu Bohong agreed with this suggestion.

Although Ye Chuan did not discuss the matter in depth, he asked instead: "Manager Liu, what products does your company's factory mainly produce and process?" His tone was full of interest.

Manager Liu responded: “Our factory mainly produces radios, fans and their TV parts.

This time we came to the island country, we plan to introduce a production line for rice cookers and vacuum cleaners. The prices of products in the island country are too high, and the tax incentives in Hong Kong are very attractive. "

Ye Chuan seemed a little surprised when he heard this: "Manager Liu, is the production line technology you can get the latest?" His anticipation was beyond words.

Liu Bohong shook his head and replied, "No, the island company will never sell their core technology production line, which is related to the foundation of their development.

We would be satisfied if we could just get an old line that is about to be phased out, let alone the most advanced one.”

Hearing this, Ye Chuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Manager Liu observed the man's expression and added, "Mr. Ye, Officer Lei mentioned that you are from the inland. Is this true?" This question was obviously the doubt in his mind just now.

Ye Chuan did not hide this and said frankly: "Yes, I work in Beijing, and this trip is a special trip to the island country for investigation and study." This response did not cause the other party to be completely convinced. After all, the trip to the Magic City had made him deeply aware of the differences in local appearance and talent training.

Looking at Ye Chuan's smile, Manager Liu asked with emotion: "I didn't expect that you speak Cantonese and Japanese so authentically. You really can't tell that you are from the inland."

Ye Chuan smiled and said modestly: "Manager Liu, maybe we can discuss the possibility of potential cooperation?" As a businessman, Liu Bohong was obviously eager to try. "Mr. Ye, please tell me in detail how you want to work together?" His exploration of business opportunities is as keen as a cheetah's keenness on potential prey.

However, Ye Chuan shook his head, smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't dare to make the decision on this matter, I just have this intention.

After all, there is no suitable cooperation channel between the mainland and China.

I will submit this to the relevant departments when I return, and I hope we can reach an agreement.”

Liu Bohong then said: "No problem, my family also immigrated from the mainland for several generations. If you can really help, I can consider reducing the profit!"

After confirming the specific details of the visit the day after tomorrow, Ye Chuan escorted Liu Bohong back to the hotel entrance, then took a taxi back to his room.

Chen Xiangdong showed a hint of surprise when he saw Ye Chuan coming back.

He thought that after he agreed to Ye Chuan's vacation, he would leave Hong Kong directly.

As for Wei Dong and Xiao Junnian, they chose to stay in the room and did not go out.

They felt better when they were in Hong Kong Island. Even though the conversations were still a little confusing, this was still Chinese territory after all.

But it's a completely different story when you leave your hometown. The language barrier, coupled with concerns about unfamiliar environments and old enemies, makes everything more complicated.

Ye Chuan only had a brief conversation with them outside the room, and then returned to his room. The time was one hour later than in the mainland, so even if the time was about the same, he still had to get up early tomorrow.

At dawn the next day, the group enjoyed a rather sumptuous breakfast. Milk, sausages and bread constituted a standard Western breakfast.

When everyone walked down the stairs, Wang Tiantai and their sightseeing bus, who had been waiting at the hotel entrance, greeted them. "Director Chen, the actual inspection here will not begin until tomorrow.

Today I will arrange for everyone to visit some unique landscapes that are different from our country. "

Wang Tiantai actually felt a little disappointed about receiving the business delegation. He was looking forward to more of a domestic technical delegation.

As domestic development had temporarily stagnated, he was eager to promote domestic progress through inspections and see the fruits of his efforts.

Hearing this, Chen Xiangdong was a little surprised, but he still accepted it with pleasure.

Unexpectedly, the sightseeing bus first arrived at a construction site.

Just when everyone was thinking that there was nothing special about this place, they were stunned by the speed of Japan's construction.

I saw a tower crane accurately arranging prefabricated concrete panels, like stacking blocks to build high-rise buildings. "Prefabricated buildings?" Ye Chuan blurted out.

His words immediately drew Wang Tiantai's surprised reaction. "Young man, do you know about the prefabricated housing system?"

Ye Chuan nodded and replied, "This is a modular way of building houses. All prefabricated panels are produced in advance according to precise specifications, and the frame is built on the construction site, with steel bars used to stabilize each panel."

Wang Tiantai nodded approvingly: "Yes, this technology is very advanced and greatly improves construction efficiency."

But Ye Chuan disagreed: "Professor Wang, although this kind of house is considered new technology, it also has many disadvantages, especially for you."

Wang Tiantai didn't understand for a moment and asked, "Little brother, what's the problem?"

Ye Chuan pointed to the concrete plates on the crane and drew everyone's attention: "Professor, you see these plates are quite thin.

Although Japan has limited the number of floors, it will only face structural damage if it encounters strong winds. "

This left Wang Tiantai speechless for a moment.

He never thought about this issue carefully. He believed that prefabricated buildings were simple and easy to build, and promoting them in China would benefit the people.

He also mentioned: "Moreover, the connection gaps between these prefabricated panels will cause water to seep into the lower floor immediately if the upstairs residents accidentally spill water onto the corridor floor."

This made Wang Tiantai stunned. He really didn't realize such serious consequences.

Ye Chuan chuckled and said, “There is another tricky problem for ordinary people, and that is sound insulation.

Even if the surface of prefabricated components is covered with paint, it is impossible to effectively isolate noise.

If couples in the neighborhood are bickering or being affectionate, the tenants next door may hear it clearly, which is not a good scene. "His words drew laughter, and even Wang Tiantai couldn't help laughing. "Although there are many problems, prefabricated houses are indeed convenient and simple.

I think the country will consider its application, but it may be a transitional solution before it becomes rich and strong.

In the future, there will definitely be more innovative building designs to replace prefabricated panels. "Wang Tiantai enthusiastically echoed, "Very good, you said it very well, comrade, your insights make me deeply admire you!"

Chen Xiangdong introduced: "This is Comrade Ye Chuan. He works at the Beijing Municipal Materials Recycling Center and the grassroots cooperative supply and marketing cooperative. He also serves as a technical consultant at the Second Electronics Factory."

Wang Tiantai's expression of surprise deepened: "Director Ye, can you tell me your age?"

Ye Chuan smiled and replied, "Twenty-one!" This caused a small shock. "What? Only twenty-one? He is really a young talent! No wonder he has a unique vision and is very insightful in analyzing things!" Wang Tiantai said with emotion.

Ye Chuan humbly said: “It’s just my superficial opinion.

I would also like to thank Professor Wang for his concern for the development of our country and for bringing us here to broaden our horizons.”

Wang Tiantai smiled and said, "Although many aspects of the Japanese make us angry, many of their advantages are indeed worth learning from." Everyone agreed. In just less than a day in Japan, they saw many inspirations and experiences worth learning in the urbanization process.

After Wang Tiantai communicated with the driver, the minibus started slowly and drove to the next destination.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside a courtyard wall.

Wang Tiantai got off the car first, and the others followed in confusion.

The environment here is a bit remote, and they are not sure why they were brought to this place. "This is the parking lot of a Japanese motorcycle factory. The gatekeeper happens to be the father of my student. We can visit for a while." Everyone was puzzled as to why they came to see the parking lot, but they kept silent.

When they entered the park, they were shocked by the scene before them.

This is a large parking area, large enough to accommodate vehicles the size of a full-size football field, and is filled with hundreds of scooters.

Xiao Junnian exclaimed: "Oh my God!"

No one laughed at his reaction. In fact, everyone was equally amazed at this moment.

Wang Tiantai added regretfully: "There is a parking lot not far from here for cars, with hundreds of cars for sale. You will be even more shocked when you see that scene!"

Ye Chuan felt a deep resonance.

Later in his life, he saw the parking lot of a large 4S store. The scene of the mountains of vehicles inside was truly heart-stirring.

This was only the situation in the 60s. If you could experience the situation back then, no one would be able to sit still.

Wei Dong asked: "Who are you going to sell those cars to?" This question was also the question of everyone present.

Wang Tiantai replied: "It is mainly sold to ordinary citizens. Most Japanese residents can afford a private car by just saving for a few years." Everyone was silent after hearing this. Compared with the situation in their own homes where they still had to show financial resources to buy a bicycle, it was truly not easy for every Japanese family to own a car.

Considering that this is just a 4.7-meter company-only parking lot, we didn't stay long before the tour ended.

Wang Tiantai led everyone away from a corner showing the prosperity of modern industry.

Leaving the parking lot, what came into view was a high wall that was hundreds of meters long, and everyone fell into deep thought.

We had lunch at a sushi restaurant. It was the first time for everyone to try sashimi, so they seemed a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Junnian regained his confidence and said, "The food here is far inferior to our meals. Stir-fried dishes are more delicious!"

Ye Chuan wanted to correct him: "The sushi there is just simple vegetables and ham, how can it be compared with wagyu beef? If you try wagyu beef, I'm afraid you will swallow your tongue in one breath."

In the evening, Ye Chuan did not return to the hotel with everyone else, but went alone to the hotel where Liu Bohong and others were staying and booked a room.
