According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...After packing up with Su Ya, they flew to the capital with their secretary to meet up with Changhong's technical staff.
A group of seven people flew to Japan.
Since this wasn't an official delegation, there was no reception provided.
Instead, Casio sent a junior manager to pick them up from the airport. He took them directly to the hotel and left, saying he would give them a tour of the company the next day.
The hotel was booked with the help of R, but the expenses were paid by Xing Baohua.
Unfortunately, all the rooms were standard, so Xing Baohua upgraded his own room.
We arrived early, around 2 PM, so after a short rest, we rented a hotel car and went sightseeing as a group.
Destination: Ginza.
The technicians he brought along might become employees of the new factory in the future. To show his generosity as the boss, Xing Baohua said he would buy whatever the customer wanted, and he would pay in foreign exchange.
These technicians don't lack national currency, they just lack foreign exchange. When Director Xing mentioned this, they all happily expressed their gratitude.
If we're talking about which country's electronics are considered the best by Chinese consumers, then Japanese products are the top choice.
There's no way around it; it has indeed affected generations. Who can blame us for not having it?
Take televisions for example. If a family is well-off, who wouldn't buy a Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi, or Sony?
It's not that we won't buy domestic products, but firstly, the production capacity can't keep up, and secondly, the technology can't keep up.
If it weren't for ticket restrictions on sales, those with good conditions would probably have made these companies extremely wealthy.
Fortunately, our people are hardworking. No matter what, we managed to get our hands on the Japanese equipment and produce it ourselves.
Xing Baohua estimated that the Panasonic production line that Changhong bought had probably been almost completely dismantled by now! They needed to acquire the Japanese technology in order to make any fundamental improvements.
Xing Baohua bought Su Ya several outfits, even a small leather bag and leather boots. She'll be going to school in Beijing soon, and she'll look so stylish in these clothes!
I had an authentic Japanese meal at a restaurant near Ginza.
However, people in our country have some taboos about eating raw food.
After a few people reluctantly ate some sashimi, they wanted to eat ramen.
Well, it all went to Xing Baohua.
On the way back to the hotel, Suya said she would find a chance to see the cherry blossoms.
Xing Baohua slapped his forehead. "What month is it? Where am I going to get cherry blossoms for you to see?"
Then she said she also wanted to see snow-capped mountains.
That's possible, but it depends on your schedule. If you just want to see the outline, you can check it on JD.com. You'll need to pick a good day and buy a high-powered telescope to see it.
It's just a way to fool people.
Xing Baohua promised Su Ya that he would take her to see Mount Fuji if time allowed. They could also take a hot spring bath while they were there.
Su Ya was happy that Xing Baohua hadn't been driven crazy that night.
The next day, Casio's representative led everyone on a tour of Casio's headquarters.
There's really not much to see; they only have a dozen or so products, and they're all outdated.
The person Xing Baohua and his team were in contact with was a vice president of the society.
This is a bit unfair. Xing Baohua is at least the factory director, while the young man's side only has a deputy manager. This is disrespectful!
On the Japanese side, companies are all called "Kukaisha" or similar entities, and the chairman or decision-maker is referred to as "Chairman".
If it's the president, then it's at the manager level.
Xing Baohua could accept the vice president's intervention, but the mere presence of a vice president made him furious.
After entering the conference room, Xing Baohua said to the vice president, "I want to see your president, who can speak for you."
As he spoke, he showed the other party the report on the solar-powered watch he had brought to fool people before he arrived.
Xing Baohua wasn't afraid of being copied, so he sat in the reception room like a big shot, waiting for the other party to speak.
He then very rudely took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
The vice president wanted to remind Xing Baohua that smoking was not allowed indoors, but when he saw Xing Baohua's glaring eyes, he hesitated.
After a quick glance at the report on the solar-powered watch, I felt that the thing in my hand was very heavy.
After asking Xing Baohua to wait a moment, he quickly reported the matter to the higher-ups.
