Even at eleven o'clock, it is still bustling and lively.
Neon lights are on everywhere in the center of the steel jungle city, and well-dressed men and women can be seen entering and leaving various entertainment venues, reveling in the glorious era at the peak of this bubble era.
Many people were waving thousands of yuan bills at the roadside taxi pick-up and drop-off areas, but the money did not seem to have much appeal to the taxi drivers.
Often, only by taking out more money can you attract the favor of drivers, facing their angry and cursing eyes, and then step on the accelerator and drive away.
After work, I was driving on my way home.
Thinking of how serious Yuan Guangrong was when he heard him talking about small goals, Nagano Nao suddenly felt that such small goals were not so ridiculous at this moment.
You should know that more than half of the world's top 500 companies are Japanese.
Take the automobile industry as an example. After experiencing the first oil crisis in the 1970s, RB was forced to implement a strategy to reduce energy consumption during the second oil crisis.
In 1979, Japan's automobile production surpassed that of the United States.
By 1980, Japan's share of the U.S. market had climbed to 24%, with annual vehicle production reaching 11 million units, replacing the United States as the world's largest automobile producer.
This brought a huge impact on the US manufacturing industry. In 1984, the US trade deficit was 123.3 billion US dollars, of which the trade deficit with Japan was the largest, reaching 36.8 billion US dollars, which further expanded to 49.6 billion in 1985.
Even though smashing Japanese cars has become a normal way for American auto industry workers to vent their anger, it still cannot stop the popularity and dumping of Japanese cars in the United States.
The same is true for manufacturing.
First, Komatsu Manufacturing beat Caterpillar, the largest manufacturer of construction machinery and equipment in the United States, to a pulp. Then, Panasonic Electric invaded the United States and its market share continued to expand.
Even General Motors does not have much ability to fight back against Japan's durable, cheap and sophisticated technology.
The financial industry is even more awesome.
Of the top 20 of the world's top 500 companies, 90% are Japanese financial companies, including Bank of Japan, Mitsubishi Bank, Fuji Bank, Sumitomo Insurance, etc.
In terms of the total stock market value, Japan alone accounts for 45% of the world's total market value, which is 1.5 times larger than that of the United States.
Among them, there are many companies like Japan Life Insurance and core technologies that will not be listed.
If we only look at it from an economic perspective, Japan buying the United States is really just a small goal.
Thinking of how serious Minamoto Mitsuei was when he heard him talk about his small goals, and how proud and proud Iue Ryouta was when he talked about Sora Japan, Nagano Nao didn't know whether to laugh or smile bitterly.
Anyone with money in his pocket will become bloated.
When a country becomes rich, it seems that it will become arrogant.
Perhaps they have forgotten that Japan has long been a tree without roots, just a duckweed drifting on the sea.
It's almost mid-October.
All in all, the situation in Eastern Europe is about to break out completely.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to enjoy our good days for much longer. I just don’t know what Sato is thinking!
The car turned and entered a quiet street.
The lights were on upstairs.
The yellow light is like sunshine, making people feel very warm.
The gate of the villa was open. Looking along the path, one could see Nagano Kanako kneeling on the porch, her starry eyes filled with an incomprehensible complex emotion.
When she saw the car lights, her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up on her knees, taking small steps to the door.
"I'm back!"
"You've worked hard, Zhinan! Why did you come back so late?" Nagano Kanako closed the door and said with a sigh of relief.
Nagano kicked off his leather shoes, put on slippers and said, "I'm in charge of a project, so I'm working overtime."
"You must be very hungry then! I'll go heat up the food right away."
"No, I've already had my meal at the company."
"You must be very tired then. I'll go get you some water."
“.”
Ten minutes later.
There are various Chinese medicinal herbs in the basin, giving off a fresh fragrance.
Without waiting for Nagano Nao to speak, she pulled open her kimono, knelt on the ground, took off the socks on Nagano Nao's feet, and put his feet in a basin of just the right temperature.
A pair of delicate hands gently rubbed her smelly feet.
Having never enjoyed such treatment before, Nagano Nao was stunned for a moment.
"Obaa-san, no need, I can do it myself."
"You've worked so hard, straight man. This is what I should do."
“Really.”
"Straight guys don't like it?"
“.”
Nagano Nao didn't know how to answer such a question, so he just stared at Nagano Kanako.
Nagano Kanako quickly lowered her head and said like a little girl who had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, straight man!"
"Ms. Kanako, have you forgotten what I said? Don't say sorry, you did nothing wrong." Nagano Nao said, patting his thigh.
Nagano Kanako seemed to like the title of Miss Kanako very much. She understood the man's meaning and sat on Nagano's lap shyly and obediently.
The woman was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, weighed less than 90 kilograms, was delicate and boneless, yet had the plump and mature figure of a woman, and was very comfortable sitting on my lap.
Nagano Nao grabbed her waist and was about to take off the white tabi on her feet.
Nagano Kanako quickly said, "Yametie!"
"Why not? Wouldn't it be nice to take a shower together?"
"How can a man wash feet with a woman?"
"If I say yes, then yes!"
"oh."
“.”
that's all.
The two of them seemed to be one person, sitting on chairs and soaking their feet.
Gradually, after getting used to it, Nagano Kanako couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart, and a sense of satisfaction and gratitude she had never felt before.
Straight man, you are so good to me!
With a playfulness she had never shown before, she gently stepped on the instep of Nagano Nao, but she felt that this was very childish, so she made an excuse and said, "These medicines are herbs that activate blood circulation. After massage and absorption, they can nourish the qi and body."
Nagano Nao enjoyed the soft warmth on his body and asked casually, "What's in the basin? It smells so good."
"It's mainly agarwood and safflower, and then there's actinolite, dodder seed, fennel, cinnamon, rehmannia, cnidium monnieri, and gorgon fruit."
It felt very strange to hear these things from a Japanese woman.
Nagano Nao was surprised and said, "Ms. Kanaiko actually knows all this?"
"I learned it a long time ago."
"What's the use of these?"
"This. That"
Talking about this and that often means it is difficult to start talking.
Nagano Nao knew this. He was stunned and said, "It can't be for strengthening the kidneys!"
"Straight man, I'm sorry, it's not what you think! It's mainly because you've been working so hard recently, and your blood and qi are depleted after the injury. You've been working overtime for so long today, I'm worried that it's not good for your health."
