Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Then, our predecessors split into more than a dozen groups and visited dozens of countries, announcing to the world that the Eastern Dragon had awakened and the country's doors were open. It seemed that it was also in this year.

He Nianqiu felt a little strange.

Fanta officially cooperated with relevant departments to enter the domestic market, while the world's beverage giant Coca-Cola was shut out.

After dinner,

He Yuzhu went to the hotel again and heard the same news.

Lou Xiao'e hugged him tightly and said happily, "I'll take Sisi over there to wait for you, and then we can have a good look around Edo Castle."

"This is serious business. I won't be able to spare the time once you get there. My schedule is already fully booked."

He Yuzhu responded gently: "Don't run around, stay in the city."

"Half a month is so long. Just thinking about it makes it seem like such a long time."

Lou Xiao'e hugged him, looking unhappy.

"It hasn't been long, just over half a month, but you've been gone for seven years..."

He Yuzhu smiled and spoke, but the words were not finished yet.

Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed and annoyed. She waved her fist and threatened:

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, or I'll beat you up..."

He Yuzhu didn't care about this little threat. He gently hugged her, rubbed his chin against her hair, and whispered softly: "Your family's affairs are over. If you go back to Hong Kong Island during this period, let Jiqi go to Japan. I have something for her to do. The things you manage in Hong Kong, such as the coke, fitness equipment, fast food industry, Red Bull and Gatorade in cooperation with the Guo family, will be handed over to Jiqi if they come to the mainland. As for Dove chocolate, it's just a small layout, so let Huang Ruo tinker with it."

"Humph, why did you let Jiqi go to Japan? Are you planning to take advantage of her?"

When the name Jiqi is mentioned,

Lou Xiao'e immediately pouted, very unhappy.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen such a beautiful and charming girl. As a homosexual, it is really stressful.

Originally, this guy went to Hong Kong Island and rarely saw Jiqi, so I was quite relieved.

This time I specially let Jiqi go to Japan. I felt uncomfortable when I thought about a single man and a single woman being in the same room.

"You, you really think too much. If I have any feelings for her, why should I just do it secretly? Why would I tell you specifically to inform her to go to Japan?"

He Yuzhu found it funny, kissed her affectionately, and explained patiently,

"Besides, it was you who insisted on letting Jiqi run the small detective agency. It wasn't me who arranged it. This time, I'm letting her go to Japan for a serious matter."

"Humph, you're targeting her."

Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly,

"Don't think I don't know. You deliberately put her in the small detective agency to hide your lover. If I hadn't discovered it earlier and moved her to your side to keep an eye on her, you would have hidden it long ago."

"You have a really strong ability to discover things."

He Yuzhu was speechless, deeply aware that he had made a mistake that all men would make.

You can't reason with women.

Especially when it concerns another woman, and this woman is particularly beautiful.

It seems that I can only persuade him patiently.

He Yuzhu felt the weather was inexplicably hot.

Fresh air filled the air.

Lou Xiao'e's eyelashes trembled slightly, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she forgot everything she wanted to say.

Sisi raised the book slightly to cover her stern face and rubbed her brows in annoyance.

The plane landed at Edo Airport.

The difference from last time is that

There was a grand welcome ceremony as soon as we got off the plane.

Considering his popularity in Japan,

He Yuzhu didn't want to steal the spotlight, so he stayed in the plane and didn't get off.

He waited until the welcoming ceremony ended and the crowd dispersed before he put on a mask and got off the plane.

The first day of the visit was mainly filled with various welcoming activities, nothing major happening.

He Yuzhu had already greeted the accompanying staff in advance and planned to go to the hotel where he was staying to meet up.

Unexpectedly, just after getting off the plane and taking a few steps, I heard waves of excited calls:

"He Sang, He Sang!"

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Guangshu running towards him.

There were two girls wearing fashionable dresses accompanying him.

A girl with delicate features, exuding a lively aura, like a free and unrestrained elf. He Yuzhu remembered that her name was Mikoto.

The other one was gentle and quiet, her name was Kana. She seemed to have received strict etiquette instruction since childhood, and her words and deeds all revealed her upbringing.

After the last Go game, on the eve of returning home,

At the dinner hosted by Guangshu, besides people from the Go community, they were also present.

In that kind of occasion, we just got to know each other briefly and there wasn't much communication.

Even so, these two girls with very different temperaments still left a deep impression on people.

"Why are you here?"

He Yuzhu looked at Guangshu and smiled politely at the two girls as a greeting.

"He Sang..."

Mikoto subconsciously put her hands behind her back, her fair cheeks flushed, and her long eyelashes fluttered.

In contrast, Kana seemed more calm and composed. She maintained a polite smile, said nothing, and nodded slightly in response.

"He Sang, I know you are on the visiting list, so I came here with Kana and Mei to greet you."

Guangshu explained excitedly:

"I waited for you for a long time but didn't see you. I thought something happened and you didn't come."

"Fortunately I waited a little longer. As soon as I saw you getting off the plane, I recognized you..."

"Access list?"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but ponder.

China's visit list is also considered confidential information in Japan.

Guangshu was able to know in advance, so his identity seemed to be not simple.

I remember that there was an important figure named Hisayama in the Japanese cabinet. It seems that Mitsuki should be a member of his family.

At first, it was just because the surname Jiushan was related to Jiushan Xiwang Go.

It was a bit surprising that Hisamitsuki was not only a Go enthusiast, but also a key member of the Hisayama family.

"Thank you for welcoming me..."

He Yuzhu thanked him politely and after a brief conversation, they came to a nearby teahouse.

Actually, you don’t have to come for this visit.

The reason for coming here is not to appreciate the prosperity of Japan, but to learn the business management experience of Japanese companies.

He Yuzhu has a series of plans, and it is for this purpose that he asked Jiqi to come from Hong Kong Island.

Although the stainless steel products produced by the steel rolling mill are good,

Even if the products are distributed throughout the country, they are only circulated internally and sold at a low price. The market is only so big and fixed.

Only by going abroad, earning foreign exchange and attracting foreign investment can we inject vitality into the stainless steel market, activate the entire industrial chain and make everyone truly benefit.

When workers have money, they will naturally spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, which will indirectly promote regional economic development and improve the quality of life. The original plan was to let Jiqi come here, set up a company and cooperate with related Japanese companies.

Japan's products are exported to hundreds of countries, accounting for more than 30 percent of the global market share. Although China's relations with capitalist countries are becoming increasingly friendly, it is still subject to sanctions.

Especially since China was relatively backward in the past, international recognition of its export products was not high. However, it would be much easier to sell products to the world through Japan in the name of Japanese companies.

The foundation of Japan's prosperity is mainly as a manufacturing base for the United States. It has imported various world-class production lines and its products are of first-class quality. Given China's level of technological development, it is not easy to directly open the door to the Japanese market and cooperate with Japanese companies. However, stainless steel is an exception.

He Yuzhu is confident that the improved technology will produce top-notch quality 304 stainless steel, which is only better than similar products from Japan.

As long as the selling price is slightly lower than that in Japan and there is a profit margin in the middle, profits will be easily made whether it is resold to other countries or supplied to local stainless steel products factories in Japan.

Those profit-oriented Japanese companies must have a strong desire to cooperate.

This was originally a planned plan. The product quality is solid, so it is not difficult to find a Japanese partner...

However, the exact time it will take is unknown, and we also have to guard against the Japanese colluding with others to play tricks to lower the price.

Now, He Yuzhu has another trick up his sleeve. He is trying to get Mitsuki Hisayama to join him. With the influence of the Hisayama family in Japan, this matter is almost a natural outcome.

Once foreign exports are opened up, we will be able to join hands with other domestic steel mills to jointly produce 304 stainless steel, forming an industrial chain and creating "little millionaires" in the steel industry.

Great idea, and well planned.

The key is Mitsuki Hisayama's attitude.

The tea room was quiet as the tea artist brewed tea with graceful and intricate techniques.

Hisayama Mitsuki was absorbed in watching, while Mikoto and Kana were blushing as they knelt beside him, adding a bit of a strange look to the teahouse. He Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he glanced at Hisayama Mitsuki and said bluntly, "Mitsuki, I want to partner with you to open a trading company in Japan and make a lot of money. What do you think..."

"He Sang, I'm so sorry..."

Hisayama Mitsuki looked a little distressed: "I really have no interest in doing business."

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment. Coming from a well-known family with plenty of money, it was understandable that he had no interest in business.

"He Sang..."

Hisayama Mitsuki looked hesitant and looked at him respectfully, his tone lacking confidence: "Can you accept me as your apprentice and teach me how to play Go? I wanted to ask you last time, but I was embarrassed. After you returned to China, I regretted it until now."

As he said this, Hisayama Mitsuki immediately knelt down respectfully.

"Please, please accept me."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but blink. It wasn't a question of willingness or not, but he knew that although Hisayama Mitsuki loved Go and had good character, he did lack talent.

Just like cooking to Liu Lan, compared to cooking, Go values ​​talent more.

Mikoto's eyes lit up and she gently pushed Kana. Kana glanced at her, understood, and nodded after a moment's hesitation.

"He Sang, please accept us..."

Two beautiful girls suddenly knelt in front of him.

Although the collar is high, it has slipped down slightly at this moment, making it more eye-catching.

He Yuzhu's eyes twitched, and he quickly looked away, not wanting to get into trouble.

The tea room was still quiet, and the tea artist seemed to be unaware of the outside world and was concentrating on making tea.

He Yuzhu watched quietly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Have you really thought it through? In our place, it is quite common to learn from a master; but in Japan, this is not a joke. If you really want to make up your mind, I will follow the way here and teach you strictly according to the local requirements."

Unlike China, where traditions are abandoned and skills inheritance is not emphasized, in Japan, skills inheritance follows ancient traditions.

To learn skills, one must put everything aside and follow the master to practice. This requires the most pious learning attitude, as well as determination and effort at all costs.

If the apprentice can do these things, every master will teach him everything he knows, but he will also be the most strict.

If you are not prepared to endure harsh teaching and are willing to endure hardships, you can learn the true skills.

The master devotes all his efforts to imparting knowledge, and respecting teachers is the most basic thing. He also receives certain rewards from his apprentices, and equal exchange is widely accepted in Japan.

This is the standard for becoming an apprentice under normal circumstances.

If one lacks talent and does not work hard enough, no matter how much hardship one endures, if one's skills are not refined, the master will not acknowledge him as an apprentice. It means that one has wasted time and gained nothing after years of hard work.

"Master, I have thought it through. Please accept me."

Hisayama Mitsuki was pious and resolute. Kana's eyelashes drooped, and her voice was subtle but firm: "Kana has also thought it through, please accept me, Master." Mikoto hesitated, thinking for a long time, changed from kneeling to kneeling, lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her fair face, looking very embarrassed: "He Sang, I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous, I, I may not have much time to learn Go."

He Yuzhu was not surprised by her decision.

When introducing her earlier, Mitsuki Hisayama mentioned that Mikoto is a singer with a certain reputation and is very fond of Go.

You can love chess, but giving up your career to learn chess is not only counterproductive, but you also have to get approved by the agency first.

Giving up is the wise thing to do.

In comparison, Kana's persistence surprised He Yuzhu.

From her behavior to her clothing, it is not difficult to tell that she comes from a large family.

As a rich lady, there is no need for you to go out of your way to learn Go from a master - there are many top Go players in Japan, and they are all very famous.

Even if you don't formally become their disciple, it's not difficult to seek their guidance.

After all, no one can resist money.

Similarly, there is no need for Mitsuki Hisayama, who comes from a prominent family, to find a master to learn chess.

"Have you really thought it through?"

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said seriously,

"The atmosphere of Go in Japan is very good. If you really love Go, there are many ways to learn it. There is no need to learn from a Chinese like me. I don't mind teaching you, but I am curious, why do you want to take me as your teacher? Please tell me your reasons."

Kana bit her lip lightly and remained silent.

Hisayama Mitsuki hesitated for a while, then said anxiously, "I have liked Go since I was a child. I always feel that the black and white pieces constitute a special world. I want to understand it, touch it, and explore it, but I am always in a fog and it is difficult to reach. My family invited many Go masters to teach me, but each of them left after teaching for a while. Some directly said that I had no talent, and some tactfully suggested that it might not be a good idea to insist on it blindly, and I should learn to let go. Gradually, I grew up and understood that I really had no talent and learned very slowly, sometimes even worse than a child... Even so, I never thought of giving up. I love Go, I love it, and no matter how difficult it is, I will continue to learn. I was shocked and excited to see the teacher easily defeat the famous Japanese player while drinking tea and reading the newspaper. I also saw hope... Although I am a bad chess player, I still like to play chess..."
