Chapter 155 I Want to Become Famous
The translator was a little overwhelmed by Yue Ning's gaze. He said, "Ms. Yue, I was in Japan for five years, and I worked part-time while studying. I worked in a restaurant in Tokyo for a long time, so I know the Japanese well."
Yue Ning held out his hand: "Mr. Liang, the purpose of Miss Cui Huiyi and I coming to Japan is to use Ning Xiaochu instant noodles and Ning Xiaochu noodle shop to expand the Japanese market. If it is convenient for you, can you give me some advice?"
Translator Liang Ze smiled and said, "I'm not a business person, so I can't give you any good advice. I can only provide some information I know."
"I just want to hear your feelings."
Yue Ning and Liang Ze went to a coffee shop and sat down. Yue Ning asked him to choose a drink and listened to him talk about his experience of studying and working in Japan.
Liang Ze honestly said that he could not get into CUHK due to his poor academic performance, so he could only go to a technical college and had no money to study in the UK. He saw reports on Japan in the news every day and had the idea of going to Japan. He came to Japan to learn the language for a year and entered a university in Tokyo to study mechanics. During this period, he relied on part-time jobs to pay for tuition and living expenses. He talked about many personal experiences.
"Of course, people are individuals, and we can't generalize. Maybe I've experienced too much cold shoulder, so I have some personal prejudices."
Not to mention now, when Japan is thriving, even in Yue Ning's previous life, China already had such a great influence in the world, didn't Chinese people encounter many troubles when traveling to Japan?
"It's not a prejudice, it's a fact. This time it was HTV that led the filming. Didn't the Japanese side act like that at the beginning?" Yue Ning smiled sincerely, "I'm grateful that you can be so frank."
"You're welcome."
"Mr. Liang, let me tell you my plan. Baohualou has three lines. Ningyan and Baohualou are both based in Hong Kong and serve Chinese people at home and abroad. Ningxiaochu is different. It is called a Hong Kong-style noodle restaurant. In fact, from the beginning, I planned to seize the era of rapid development in Japan. So I agreed with Ms. Cui of Lide Food to bring a Japanese style. Our original itinerary this time was to explore the way for these businesses."
The waiter brought the coffee and Yue Ning said, "Thank you!"
"Ms. Yue, do you want to cooperate with Zhonggu?" Liang Zhe asked.
"With this consideration, no matter what Nakatani thinks of the Chinese in his heart. At least for now, he is a smart man. He knows my abilities and needs my help. He has the drive to make a personal gain. It is easier to cooperate with him than those arrogant Japanese. We are developing the market in Japan, and he needs someone who is familiar with the industry." Yue Ning expressed his thoughts.
Liang Ze nodded: "You have considered it carefully, I was the one who said too much."
Yue Ning shook his head: "I now have a more comprehensive idea. I want someone who can stay in Japan and help me take care of these affairs in Japan. Mr. Liang, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Me?" Liang Ze was too surprised. He waved his hands quickly. "Miss Yue, I can't do it. In fact, I am lucky to be able to enter HTV. I have already said that I failed to get into university in Hong Kong, so I came to Japan to study. The school was not good, and I was working part-time. To be honest, I didn't learn much about mechanics. After I returned to Hong Kong, I wanted to find a job in my major, but I had difficulty reading the blueprints. Fortunately, an electronics factory wanted me, so I specialized in taking orders from Japan for OEM. I counted the data and sent faxes every day to arrange shipment. It was not until I saw in the newspaper that HTV was looking for a Japanese translator that I joined HTV as a translator."
After listening to him, Yue Ning said, "For the first store in Japan, I am considering opening it in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where there are many Chinese people and many commercial facilities. There is also a train station hub nearby, so the passenger flow is guaranteed. I am also very interested in Dotonbori, where there is a Chinese noodle restaurant that specializes in instant ramen, and its business is pretty good. Our store will be opened next to them. Ning Xiaochu specializes in Hong Kong-style fast food, and the average dining time for customers is about half an hour. Soup base packets and special condiments will be shipped from the port city. In addition, I plan to discuss with Ms. Cui of Lide Food whether to build a factory here in Osaka, and set up a storage center in the factory. At the same time, a warehouse center will also be set up in Kanto..."
Yue Ning talked about her detailed plan. If it weren't for her own achievements to back her up, these words would have sounded like a pyramid scheme.
"I formulate the strategy, and our company has a team responsible for implementation. Now the team is in need of someone like you who understands Japan, can provide accurate information, and can communicate with the Japanese side without obstacles."
Seeing Liang Ze hesitate, Yue Ning said, "There's no rush for this matter. Go back and think about it carefully."
Yue Ning stood up: "That's it, whether you accept or reject, give me a message."
"OK."
Yue Ning and Liang Ze walked towards the elevator hall together and saw a group of people coming in from the door, carrying cameras and holding microphones, looking like paparazzi.
“Paparazzi taking photos of celebrities?”
"It should be." Liang Ze said.
"The paparazzi in Hong Kong are omnipresent. Are the Japanese entertainment reporters the same?" Yue Ning, who is used to being chased by paparazzi in Hong Kong, couldn't help but ask.
Liang Ze shook his head: "It's even worse than that. Those pornographic magazines in Japan are even more explicit than those in Hong Kong."
"Really?" Yue Ning wanted to take a look now. She looked curiously in the direction of the paparazzi, trying to find the figure of the star.
She remembered that the male and female stars in the Japanese dramas in the 1970s in her previous life were all beautiful...wait...they rushed towards her.
Sure enough, a microphone was handed to Yue Ning's lips, and the reporter asked Yue Ning in English with a strong accent: "Are you Miss Yue Ning, the talented chef in Hong Kong?"
"I'm Yue Ning."
The question he asked in English this time was long and he stuttered. Liang Ze couldn't stand it anymore and said in Japanese: "You can ask in Japanese. I am Miss Yue's translator."
The reporter was relieved, and seemed a little embarrassed. He said a lot of things. It turned out that someone told them about Yue Ning making okonomiyaki at Nakatani Okonomiyaki. They first interviewed Nakatani, and now they came to interview her. Nakatani praised her as a god.
Yue Ning said modestly: "I like cooking, and I also like studying the cuisines from all over the world. Cuisine from all over the world has its own characteristics, but they are also interconnected. I am really happy that my okonomiyaki can be praised by my Japanese colleagues!"
The reporter asked her if she could cook other Japanese delicacies. Yue Ning said: "I can cook mainstream Japanese food. But I may not cook it so authentically."
"It is said that the Ning Xiaochu instant noodles commercial currently being broadcast on TV was inspired by the bowl of noodles you made for Miss Nakamura Mii?"
"Yes. To be precise, it was a bowl of rice noodles." Yue Ning talked about the day she met Nakamura Mii. She said, "I am honored to cook for Miss Nakamura Mii. Every song of hers is so nice. There is a saying that goes 'You will get pregnant after listening to her songs'. I love them so much!"
The interview ended with Yue Ning praising Nakamura Mii with all his might.
She and Liang Ze entered the elevator together: "Mr. Liang, please call Miss Shen and the director to come to my room. Let's discuss how to communicate with TS."
"Communicate with TS? Are there any problems with today's shoot?"
Yue Ning shook his head: "I want to create a hot spot in Japan."
"Create a hot topic? I want to gain popularity for the TS satellite live broadcast in the future."
"good."
Yue Ning entered the room, and soon several people came in.
Yue Ning first explained to them the interview she had just received. She said, "Ms. Shen, TS has the complete video footage. Ask them to interview Mr. Ishikawa and Mr. Yamamoto again. Tell Mr. Ishikawa to spare no effort to praise me, especially my knife skills and plating skills, which are so superb that they have reached the level of an immortal."
Although HTV staff all know how highly Yue Ning's cooking skills are praised, even when she appears in the "Chef Contest", even if she just sits in the audience, the ratings of that episode will explode. Everyone can praise her, but can she brag about herself like that?
"Through today's news, we have raised the expectations of Japanese audiences. It's not me who said that Mr. Ishikawa is me. In front of people, I am just a humble little chef! Then what? When we arrived in Tokyo, TS told us that they had found a kaiseki restaurant at the request of the audience, and they wanted to see my plating and knife skills." Yue Ning said, "At the scene, Mr. Ishikawa announced that I would lead the team to prepare the next episode of Chinese cuisine."
The director clapped his hands and said, "This is a great idea. Ms. Shen, you need to make it clear to TS that we want to raise expectations for their live satellite show."
After they sorted out their arguments, Shen Wenqi asked Liang Ze to call Mr. Ishikawa who was far away in Tokyo.
Liang Ze explained to the other party for a long time before hanging up the phone. He said: "Ms. Yue, Mr. Ishikawa said that they will contact Osaka and Ms. Nakajima Masako. They need to see what was filmed today before giving us a reply."
“Let them study it.”
Yue Ning couldn't believe that the show that spent a lot of money to invite a French master to make bladder chicken received such bad reviews, and Ishikawa didn't want to make a comeback in the next show.
After the HTV people left, Yue Ning called Qiao Junxian. There was no one in Qiao Junxian's room. He probably went out for dinner and then went for a walk.
Making Okonomiyaki produces a lot of smoke, so Yue Ning went into the bathroom to take a shower, then came out to fill out a form and call someone to collect the dirty clothes for washing.
After sending away the room attendant who was collecting the clothes, Shen Wenqi came running over excitedly: "Ms. Yue, Mr. Ishikawa called and said he also watched the segment at noon today and it was very exciting. Thank you for your suggestion. This segment will be on the TS channel's news at 3 pm. He is contacting the restaurant now."
"OK."
"Ms. Yue, do you think I should communicate with Mr. Cai? I think the TV viewers in Hong Kong would also like to see the news about your trip to Japan?" Shen Wenqi asked her.
"certainly."
Shen Wenqi was delighted: "I'll report right away."
