Chapter 175 Eye-Opening
Fang Mingche and Yanyan's luggage was very simple.
Yanyan originally brought several sets of small skirts, ready to take beautiful photos. But in the end, she only kept three sets. However, because her father promised to buy her beautiful small skirts when he returned to Japan, she accepted it without any objection.
Even Qin Tian's things were very simple. He only brought a few sets of clothes he bought recently.
His previous clothes were patched up. After joining the company, Fang Mingche lent him 50. In addition to paying off debts to other creditors and buying medicine for the old man, he only bought one set of clothes to wear to work. When he had to wash them, he washed them overnight and wrung them out. Then he hung them in the vent so that he could wear them again the next day. It was not until he got his salary that he bought another set.
This was all for show. Whether he was a driver or a tour guide, or working in the Overseas Chinese Apartment, the patched clothes he had before were no longer suitable to wear.
He was also planning to make a high salary after coming here and buy more clothes when needed. He heard Cui Yingqi say that no matter how much more he brought, he would have to buy new ones later. Our mainstream clothes are somewhat out of place in Tokyo.
Well, but the weight of the three of them reached the upper limit of the total luggage. Because they also brought a lot of things prepared by the family members of the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The weight was calculated at the beginning and it did not exceed.
International flights are very expensive for overweight. Fang Mingche would rather throw away some non-essential items or things that he could buy in the past than pay the overweight fee.
Narita Airport is much more beautiful than our Capital Airport. After all, it was completed and put into use in 1978. Especially now that Japan is really rich. It can even be said that some of them are shaking. Some Japanese feel that they no longer need to kowtow to Americans as they did in the past.
Seeing such a new and modern international airport, Fang Mingche was fine. Qin Tian and Yanyan looked worse than Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden after getting off the plane. But Qin Tian looked at Fang Mingche and imitated his calm face.
Yanyan was natural and still looked around.
Fang Mingche said, "We have to admit that they are currently better developed than us."
Waiting for the luggage is a very long process. Fang Mingche and Qin Tian acted separately, and Qin Tian went to the luggage rack to wait for the luggage. Fang Mingche took Yanyan to find a public phone and prepared to call back to report that they were safe.
The travel agency actually closed at 6 pm, but there must be people working overtime today waiting for the call. And Yan didn't get the news that the father and daughter arrived safely, and she would probably be restless after a long time. It's better to call as soon as possible.
The full name of Narita Airport is Narita International Airport. The signs in the airport naturally have English. Following the signs all the way, the father and daughter successfully found the public phone.
Yanyan muttered, "I thought it was time to show my value."
She also specially learned 100 practical Japanese sentences from Grandpa Qiu and Uncle Cui.
Fang Mingche laughed, "If I really count on you, a four or five-year-old child who can't read, it would be a waste of time to study in the foreign language department."
They brought a small amount of Japanese yen with them, not the one that Wu Mingju remitted before. They were all exchanged directly. Or exchange it into RMB, or exchange it into foreign exchange coupons.
The country began to issue foreign exchange coupons on April 1 this year. Banks directly exchange foreign exchange into foreign exchange coupons at the bank exchange rate. This coupon is equivalent to foreign exchange when you use it to buy things at Friendship Stores and Overseas Chinese Stores. Well, in addition, some gifts will be given according to the amount of foreign exchange exchanged.
The gifts are all pretty good, as a thank you to those who hand in foreign exchange. It is much better than the small gifts you give when you save money in the future. Now the country's foreign exchange reserves are negative, and they are quite negative. All the foreign exchange on the surface is nationalized through this method.
However, many people still prefer to exchange it on the black market in private. The black market exchange rate is much higher! Now the country is cracking down on the black market for currency exchange.
Foreign exchange coupons can only be used in China, and it is not allowed to be used abroad. The yen they bring abroad is basically what travel agencies have saved before. Some foreign tourists did not go to Chinese banks to exchange, but paid directly in foreign exchange. Travel agencies must welcome this move!
Japan's telecommunications industry is relatively developed. Compared with their income, it is actually cheaper than China's telephone charges. But for someone who just came from China, it's still very expensive. Fang Mingche reported his safety in a concise manner and quickly hung up the phone.
He lowered his head and asked Yanyan beside his legs, "Are you hungry?"
Yanyan shook her head, "I ate a lot on the plane. Let's eat when we get back to our rented house."
Eating out is much more expensive than at home, she had always heard her grandma complaining before. It costs foreign currency abroad, which is not cost-effective.
This is an international airport, and besides Asians, there are people from other states. She had just been looking at the foreigners coming and going. More concentrated than ever before!
"Okay. Let's go and meet Uncle Qin."
In the aisle where they got off the plane, a large screen indicated which luggage rack their luggage for this flight was waiting in. Fang Mingche looked at the sign all the way and led Yanyan over.
Yanyan was a little disappointed. Although she could speak Chinese, simple English and Japanese, she was illiterate. She knew very little Chinese, and could only speak and barely recognize a few simple words in the other two languages. I can't write anything!
Fang Mingche said, "You are less than five years old, do you want to be a child prodigy?"
There was no one blocking his view at this moment. Moreover, he had been sitting on the plane for a long time, and he was holding Yanyan's hand.
Moreover, she was almost five years old and taller than her peers. If he wanted to hold her, he had to let her clamp her legs around his waist. Otherwise, it would be really long to hold her vertically. This girl really grew taller and bigger without realizing it.
The father and daughter walked over, and Qin Tian had just picked up all the luggage. He also pushed a luggage cart and put them one by one.
There was a seat for children on it, and Qin Tian asked, "Does Yanyan want to sit here?"
Yanyan was a little tempted, she had never sat in this car.
Fang Mingche looked at it and said, "There are a lot of things, I'll go get another luggage cart."
He went to the side to get another luggage cart, shared the luggage of the three people, and then carried Yanyan up.
"Dad, take a picture for me." Dad said that all electrical appliances are expensive when you buy them, and it is cost-effective to buy them more. Besides, Yanyan really likes taking pictures.
Fang Mingche laughed, "Okay, sit down!"
He only brought one roll of film. But since he's already in Tokyo, he can definitely buy some now!
Yanyan slept through the second half of the voyage, but now she is quite energetic. She faces the camera and smiles.
Fang Mingche half squatted, taking in the airport building and other tourists in a hurry. Then he pushed his daughter and the luggage out. When they
reached the exit, they saw a Chinese man holding a sign to pick them up, and Fang Mingche and Qin Tian pushed the luggage cart and strode over.
Although people from other states think that people from China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea look similar. In anti-Japanese dramas, Chinese people are directly used to stick a small round mustache under their noses to play Japanese. But in fact, in the eyes of people from these four countries, there are still many differences in details.
So, they all saw at a glance that the person holding the sign to pick up people was a compatriot.
"Comrade, hello. I am Fang Mingche!"
The other party put away the sign and said in Chinese: "Hello, I am the driver of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can call me Xiao Xue."
Xiao Xue led them to the parking lot to pick up the car. When putting the luggage, put the box of the colleague from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs down first, and put Fang Mingche and his luggage on top for easy access.
On the way, we passed the prosperous area of Tokyo and saw many high-rise buildings. There was also a big screen on the wall. Yanyan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is it for showing movies?"
But it seemed to be different from the screen for showing movies.
Fang Mingche also watched carefully along the way. This was really catching up with the street scene in "Tokyo Love Story". Tokyo in the early 1980s was already very prosperous. This real estate will be prosperous for another ten years. If you have money, buy that single-family house, keep it for ten years and then sell it!
He said, "You can show movies, but usually they show advertisements."
"Oh." Yanyan couldn't see the roofs of those office buildings even
if she looked up. Qin Tian was not much better, and he was stunned all the way.
Fang Mingche was also envious. If there were office buildings for sale in the capital at this time, he would definitely buy more while the price was low.
Xiao Xue sent the three of them directly to a house rented by a travel agency. "The leader said that there will be plenty of opportunities to meet each other later. You took a long flight today, so take a rest first. I'll just take the things back, my colleagues are waiting anxiously."
Seeing Qin Tian open the trunk and take out the two large boxes of the three people, Fang Mingche said, "Okay, Xiao Xue. I'll trouble you today. I should have invited you to sit in and have a simple meal. We'll meet again later."
"You're welcome. We are all compatriots. When we go out, we help each other. Well, see you later--"
The low door of the house was opened from the inside, and Wu Mingju, wearing an apron, came out with a spatula.
"Teacher Fang, Yanyan, Qin Tian, you are here. Hello, Xiao Xue--"
Xiao Xue waved goodbye to him, sat back in the driver's seat and drove away.
Wu Mingju saw that there were only two boxes and said, "Sit inside, we can eat soon."
He has been driving a rented car to deliver goods these days, and he is really too busy. If someone can pick someone up at the airport, he will just come back early to prepare dinner.
He thought his boss's idea was really good. He did a favor and brought something to the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a reward for their previous promotion. He also saved the cost of taking a taxi from Narita Airport.
Narita Airport is 68 kilometers away from Tokyo, and taxis are not cheap. Even if you take the airport bus, it is quite troublesome. And the bus can't take you directly to your doorstep.
Fang Mingche looked inside. This is a very typical Japanese-style single-family house, just like what he had seen in film and television programs before. It
was really amazing to see it at that time. Single-family villas are rarely seen in China. It was very rare for farmers in China to build their own houses in the 1980s, and they were far less beautiful than those built by other people.
The furniture and appliances in the single-family houses are often very fashionable and advanced.
Yanyan obviously likes this single-family house very much. She stood at the low gate of the courtyard and asked her father to take another photo of her, and then the father and daughter took another photo together.
Yanyan said with a smile: "Take it back to show mom and the others!"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay!" They
still have this spirit after a long flight, not bad!
After entering the house, Wu Mingju pointed to the two rooms upstairs and made an assignment. Then he continued to work in the kitchen.
Tonight was a welcome party, and he made a rich meal. There were sushi, fried chicken nuggets, grilled skewers, sashimi, tempura, vegetable salad, etc.
Fang Mingche and Yanyan lived in a large room upstairs, which was a suite with a bathroom and a small living room. It should be the master bedroom of this building.
This single-family building used the kind of sliding wooden doors from the Han Dynasty in China, and the floor was wiped very clean.
Fang Mingche and the others took off their shoes as soon as they entered the door and put their shoes in the shoe cabinet. They walked around the indoor floor in socks or barefoot.
Qin Tian had just taken a photo of them and rushed in. There were traces of repairs on his socks, so he took them off and went barefoot.
In this weather, he should have worn sandals. But he only had a pair of leather shoes, which was OK. But it would be inconvenient to take them off and put on socks directly.
As he took them off, he muttered in his heart: Don’t Japanese people have athlete’s foot?
Yanyan went upstairs and blurted out after opening the door: "Hey, there is a big TV, much bigger than ours."
Fang Mingche took a look and found it was a 21-inch Hitachi. It should have been the landlord's original one.
He smiled and said, "Not only that, it's in color. Turn it on and have a look."
Yanyan ran over and fumbled around, and successfully turned on the TV.
"The little man inside feels so big. And the color is a little dazzling." She was used to watching 14-inch black and white ones.
Fang Mingche glanced at the program, it was Doraemon. China only introduced and broadcast it in 1991, but Japan made it in 1973.
Yanyan sat on the sofa and watched it. It was naturally spoken in Japanese, and she had a little difficulty understanding it. So she got up and followed her father into the dormitory.
"It's so empty! Oh, and there's no bed."
"Well, the Japanese sleep on the floor. Let's do as the Romans do."
Wu Mingju was probably just making do with the rented furniture, and was too busy to buy a bed. It would be difficult for him to run such a big business alone, even with the help of the embassy. The key is that it's cumbersome!
Yanyan scratched her head. Do you want to sleep on the floor? Okay.
Fang Mingche pushed open the window and stood there looking down. Sure enough, Wu Mingju had planted seasonal vegetables in the small garden below. Vegetables in Japan are roughly the same as those in China, and the meals will probably be similar.
After a while, Wu Mingju called for dinner downstairs. The father and daughter went downstairs together.
"Dad, I like this kind of house."
Fang Mingche said, "It is not allowed to tear down a courtyard house and rebuild it like this. Let's wait until there are houses like this for sale in China or we can go back and rebuild the house in our hometown into a single-family villa. It's best to hire a designer, otherwise it will be very rustic after it is built."
It seems that the capital didn't start selling villas in the suburbs of Beijing until 1994. That was really too far away. Yanyan had already taken the college entrance examination at that
time. It's better to go back to his hometown to repair it. Unfortunately, his household registration is not in the countryside, so he can't get a homestead. Then he can only tear down the old house and rebuild it. We'll see what happens then! This also requires the consent of the old man and his eldest brother.
But it should be no problem. When it is built into two or three floors, Kang Kang will have a place to live when he gets married.
Yan Yan muttered: "We only go back for ten days or half a month a year. We can't enjoy it if it is built in our hometown."
"It's impossible to build it in the capital. Nowadays, only people like Old Master Wang can live in a small villa. But he prefers a courtyard house. Anyway, you said you like it, and Dad will find a way to let you live in it sooner or later, okay?"
Yan Yan nodded convincedly.
Qin Tian had gone downstairs to help before them. He didn't dare to wait quietly upstairs for his own master to finish the work, and then go downstairs to eat.
Wu Mingju and Cui Yingqi are both Qin Tian's masters. Han Mei was basically brought up by Qin Tian. Travel agencies have always been in this model of old bringing up new people. Now that Wu Mingju and Qin Tian have gone abroad, Cui Yingqi can no longer be transferred. Han Mei is not yet able to take on the responsibility of bringing in new people.
Yan Yan likes sushi, skewers, tempura, and fried chicken nuggets very much. She was a little uncomfortable with seafood at first, but then she gradually liked it. As for vegetable salad, she was not interested at all.
She told Fang Mingche privately: "Dad, that vegetable salad is like eating grass."
"This is the healthy diet that Japanese people like, with a combination of meat and vegetables."
But people from China were not used to it at first. People in China now recognize that meat is a good thing.
Yanyan continued: "The sushi is similar to our rice balls. This table is very convenient to take out for a picnic."
Fang Mingche said: "Do you still remember the rice balls your grandma made for you?"
That should be when the rice was just cooked, and then Yanyan said she was hungry. At that time, his father, his brother and other main workers had not returned from the fields.
But he and Ayan made a lot of economic contributions to the family, and they certainly couldn't let their daughter starve. His mother simply wrapped a clean large vegetable leaf, wrapped Yanyan with rice balls, and stuffed some meat and vegetables inside. Let her eat it by herself.
If it is wrapped more carefully and cut into thick slices, it is really similar to sushi.
After dinner, Wu Mingju saw that the three of them, especially Yanyan, were in good spirits, so he drove the rented car to take them to the bustling night market on the streets of Tokyo.
However, everyone was a little tired today, so they didn't get out of the car to go shopping. They just drove around.
The colorful lights of the office buildings in the skyscrapers of the metropolis are very dazzling at night. Yanyan stared at it intently, which was a scene she had never seen before.
The streets of Tokyo are bustling with traffic. Cars are just a means of transportation for the Japanese. Ordinary office workers can afford it. At least there is no problem with installment payments.
Wu Mingju took the steering wheel and drove slowly. He said: "Nowadays, skyscrapers are rising one after another, but parking has begun to become a problem. Many people choose to take public transportation. Japan's rail transit, such as the subway, began to be built in 1927. In 1970, high-speed railways began to be built."
Fang Mingche thought to himself: It's decades earlier than us! The capital was put into use a few years ago.
"Let's go try the subway later. Let's see what the difference is between Tokyo's subway and our capital's."
Yanyan said, "Okay."
Fang Mingche looked outside. The land should start to rise sharply soon. Wu Mingju must expand the business. And don't rush to remit all the money back to China, just keep it in Tokyo to buy land and office buildings. However, this is known to the Wang family.
Thinking of this, Fang Mingche raised his camera at the window to take pictures of those skyscrapers. I have to take something back to tell the Wang family, this will be more concrete.
If I buy an office building and a piece of land and build a house myself, I won't have to pay rent in the future. And I told them directly that he judged that the real estate in Japan, especially Tokyo, will rise sharply.
This is simply obvious. Even if he has no memory of his previous life, he can see it now.
Wu Mingju agreed with this statement very much, "I thought so last year. It's just that I was an illegal resident at that time and was not eligible to buy land and houses. This year, I learned that the increase is indeed not small."
He has money to save money to buy a property in Japan after changing to a work visa. It can be a down payment plus installments.
Fang Mingche thought: There will be a time when the price will increase even more in the future.
Wu Mingju said: "There are many department stores in Tokyo, and the things inside are really rich. There are also hair salons. Teacher Fang can bring Yanyan to go shopping later. But the clothes inside are really expensive. I know a place that sells ready-made clothes with a very high cost performance. I will take you there to buy two sets each."
The things in that place are just not famous brands. But the quality and style of the clothes are still very good. People who have just come from China have clothes that are very old-fashioned and not very appropriate.
Teacher Fang and Yanyan are better. Their clothes are made according to the style of the Friendship Store. But they are still a bit rustic to walk on the streets of Tokyo. As for Qin Tian, he is even more rustic from head to toe. He looked at Qin Tian's wooden box, which still contained a woolen blue Zhongshan suit. It is really impossible to wear it out in Tokyo.
Well, they are in Tokyo, with accommodation provided. And they get a salary comparable to that of the locals. So there is no subsidy for clothing expenses. But now they can advance it. So Qin Tian will not have a hard time buying clothes.
As for the woolen blue Zhongshan suits, Qin Tian plans to ask Fang Mingche to bring them back for him. It's nice for the family to wear. He only bought them after he got his salary.
The three of them bought two sets each, drove around for a while and went back.
Fang Mingche hesitated for a moment, but still didn't buy one for Lin Yan. When he asked about the price, he would definitely be reluctant to buy it. It's not easy to fool her! And it was foreign currency, which made him feel even more distressed. It
's better to take the people in the street scene when he goes back and let her learn from it.
When he entered the door, Wu Mingju said to Fang Mingche: "Teacher Fang, do you still remember Zhu Zhenghao, whose family you contacted before?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "I remember."
He went to mobilize three families who had people working illegally in Japan to go back. Wu Mingju and Cui Yingqi went back during the Chinese New Year and also joined the travel agency. This Zhu Zhenghao has been stranded in Japan.
"He saw me on the street a few days ago and was very surprised. We were smuggled in on a fishing boat at the beginning, and later joined different factories."
Zhu Zhenghao was shocked to hear that he was now working in Tokyo with a visa and had a basic salary of 1,200 per month.
"That makeshift travel agency is so powerful?"
"Yes. My basic salary in Tokyo is 1,200. Cui Yingqi, who also returned, used to get 300 in the capital. I am now selling domestic handicrafts, which are quite popular. We are affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and have a business license. Before and after the opening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent staff to help. I and the domestic buyers can get commissions on this."
Zhu Zhenghao must have taken Wu Mingju's words seriously. He now works 15 hours a day and has to hide from the police.
Wu Mingju now has a visa and lives in a single-family house. Just complete the work tasks, and the days without anyone to control you are simply heaven.
He asked for leave to go out to do business and met Wu Mingju in an alley. He asked him to wait for the boss to come to Tokyo and introduce him to him. He also wants to join their travel agency now.
"I told him that he must follow the overall arrangement of where to work and what to do. And he is one step behind us, so his rank must be lower than ours."
Fang Mingche said, "I will stay for two weeks. You can ask him to come over later. In addition, if there are compatriots in the same situation, you can also bring them. It's just like what you said, you have to follow the arrangement of where to work. Our principle is that only those who do a good job will be sent abroad. And everyone takes turns."
The Japanese group of the travel agency is really in need of people now. By New Year's Day, he will try to buy an extra commercial vehicle outside the plan and allocate another one to the Japanese group. There is naturally a need for manpower here.
In addition, Tokyo will also need professional financial personnel later. Otherwise, it will be too easy to make trouble.
"Okay!"
After entering the room, Fang Mingche and Yanyan washed up together. Then he touched the floor that was going to be laid later. Well, it's very clean, so there's no need to wipe it again.
Fang Mingche opened the closet and took out the bedding that Wu Mingju bought a few days ago. The mattress can be directly used directly, anyway, it doesn't touch the skin.
Yanyan changed into a blue and white plaid pajamas with shorts and shorts in the bathroom, and then walked out. This was naturally made by Lin Yan, and the whole family wore the same style.
"Dad, I'm sleepy."
"Oh, okay, come and sleep. Try it tonight. If you're not used to it, we'll go buy a bed tomorrow."
"No need, foreign exchange is very valuable." Yanyan said directly.
Fang Mingche laughed, probably because he heard adults say this too much at home.
"Actually, it's okay. Now that our business is doing well, we can continue to make money from the Japanese. They are very fond of the handicrafts that have been passed down for thousands of years in China." They
have already arrived in Tokyo, so there is actually no shortage of Japanese yen. The flow of money in the account of the travel agency's Tokyo overseas office is still relatively large.
"Oh, then I'll try it."
Yanyan felt that sleeping like this was a bit novel, and she lay down in the quilt that her father had opened.
Fang Mingche covered her with the quilt again, and then took a shower and went to sleep.
Yanyan didn't recognize the bed, and Fang Mingche didn't recognize it either. The two of them could sleep well on the hard seats on the train. There is no problem sleeping lying flat like this.
The next day, I got up early and ate Japanese bone soup ramen. Yanyan liked it very much. Fang Mingche also liked the taste of the soup. He thought it was really convenient to have such a place to live in Tokyo. When my youngest son is older, I really need to arrange a family trip.
Anyway, he runs a travel agency, and the office staff can handle the procedures for going abroad. Thanks to the friendly relationship between the capital and Tokyo, it is still easy to get a tourist visa.
Now that he has a business license and an office in Tokyo, he will open a store in the commercial district. He and Yan can both apply for multiple-entry business visas. The two children will stay with their parents, and the family can even go anywhere at any time.
At present, air tickets are still a bit expensive, but it should be fine when the business is running normally.
Shortly after breakfast, Wu Mingju took Qin Tian, who was wearing new clothes and new shoes, to work. Fang Mingche will drive the rented car out in the morning, and the delivery is scheduled for the afternoon.
He will return the car at noon and let Yanyan take a nap. In the afternoon, take public transportation to travel.
Fang Mingche took Yanyan to check in and take pictures at places such as Tokyo Tower, and then took her to Asakusa Hanayashiki Amusement Park. This amusement park has been in business since 1853, which is particularly old. It is 15 years earlier than the Meiji Restoration!
The earliest amusement park in the capital didn't open for business until 1982. So, Yanyan, this country bumpkin, had never seen an amusement park.
Well, at first Fang Mingche wanted to take her to Disneyland. But thinking back, Tokyo Disneyland seemed to have been built and opened in 1983. In his previous life, he took his grandson to Shanghai Disneyland and heard people mention it.
When Yanyan was riding on the wooden horse and the big plastic goose in the water, Fang Mingche was standing backwards in front of her to take pictures of her.
The little girl was so happy to see so many amusement projects. She was brave and she wasn't afraid anyway with her father by her side. And her father said that there was no shortage of yen in Tokyo. She just let go!
After getting off the wooden horse, Yanyan said, "Dad, this is not exciting. Let's go ride that one--"
Fang Mingche followed the direction of her finger. Roller coaster!
"Okay, let's go--" As long as you're not afraid.
In the end, they watched a magic show and were praised. Yanyan was even picked to go on stage to interact because she was cute. She went up confidently, holding the microphone and talking to people in Japanese and English. Japanese is not enough, so English will do!
Fang Mingche was proudly holding a camera to take pictures of his daughter. When she came down, he said, "This time, it shows the value of your learning foreign languages, right?"
Yanyan smiled and nodded vigorously, "Yes."
"Let's go, let's go to eat. There are not many things to eat in this park. But I just asked around and there is a food street in the back."
It is a bit difficult to communicate in English here. Not all locals understand English. If he wants to come here often, it is better for him to learn Japanese. This will make it easier to communicate.
Those small shops are said to be able to order anything without making mistakes. Fang Mingche found the one with the best business and took his daughter in.
Yanyan was eating and couldn't help but say, "Dad, I have never dreamed of such a place."
Fang Mingche smiled, "We will have it in the future."
We are really poor and backward now! Anyway, a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness!
After returning, they would check the route of the bus in advance and take the subway.
"Yanyan, listen carefully to the station announcement." Fang Mingche was worried that he might miss something when listening to the English version, so he arranged a job for Yanyan.
"Okay."
The father and daughter played around Tokyo for three days. After Wu Mingju was done with the periodic work, Fang Mingche started to check the accounts.
The accounts were very clear, and the accounts were consistent with the actual situation, without any problems. It was done within a day.
Fang Mingche said: "All the profits from the first batch of goods will be remitted back. The travel agency is waiting for the money. After I go back, I will discuss with Comrade Wang and keep a part of the profits in the account here from the second batch of goods. Try to buy land or ready-made single-family buildings as soon as possible, and office buildings and storefronts can also be considered."
The profits in Tokyo exist as a supplement. Keeping half of the profits will not affect the normal operation of domestic travel agencies. Only in this way can the overseas offices grow healthily.
Wu Mingju was naturally happy to see this happen. With more liquid funds in the account here, he will be much easier to operate. Moreover, he did think that the land and office buildings in Tokyo would increase in value.
They were now working in a single-family building, which was fine in the short term. But in the long run, they should still rent or buy an office building.
Wu Mingju nodded, "Okay. Teacher Fang, do you think it would be convenient for Fang to meet the Zhu Zhenghao I mentioned tomorrow night? He said he would bring two people."
"Okay."
Fang Mingche said and went out to see Yanyan playing with the Japanese girl next door. It was in the open space in front of the two houses. She was able to communicate with the other party with a stumbling hand, and her Japanese level was improving.
The little girl has been watching "Doraemon" these nights, and she has been watching it very enthusiastically. She really hopes that when she opens her own drawer, there will be a time tunnel, and then a Doraemon will jump out. Since Fang Mingche is interested in learning English, he also watched it with her. Even Qin Tian had nothing to do, so he came to watch it together.
Qin Tian's Japanese must be at the level of a mediocre knife. If he wants to stay in Tokyo to work, he must practice more.
However, this cartoon is not available in China. Buy her comics when you go back. It's a good opportunity to practice knowing Japanese. I have to remember to buy her a Japanese dictionary.
As for the videotapes, forget about it. He doesn't plan to buy a VCR for the time being. Even if it's very convenient to buy them in Tokyo, he just
needs to pay the tax when he goes through customs. Besides being expensive, the main thing is that Yanyan can't watch too much TV, which is bad for her eyesight. In his previous life, he raised Yanyan until she was admitted to university, and the little girl didn't become nearsighted. But his grandson has been playing with electronic products since he was a child, and he put on glasses when he was not very old.
This time, Fang Mingche also plans to take Yanyan to experience the Shinkansen. He plans to go to Nara to see the Toshodaiji Temple and see the replica of Chang'an more than a thousand years ago. By the way, soak in the hot springs there.
Nara is 500 kilometers away from Tokyo, and it takes more than two hours to take the Shinkansen.
On the weekend after that, he will take his daughter and two employees to have a meal with the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who helped him before.
In addition, Fang Mingche also wants to take time to go to Kanagawa Prefecture to see what the county town in the Tokyo metropolitan area is like. It is 44 kilometers away from Tokyo, and it takes 40 minutes to drive there.
It is equivalent to a county town in the suburbs of Beijing. You can also see the difference between the two.
There is also Mount Fuji, which is 80 kilometers away from Tokyo. You can also drive there to see it yourself.
Fang Mingche and his daughter had a good time in Tokyo. Lin Yan also had a good time at home with her son, nephew and niece. Only occasionally would they talk about the father and daughter during meals or chats.
Lin Yan said, "They were so happy that they didn't want to leave! But it must be quite fun."
At that time, "Zisanshiro", the first TV series introduced to China by Japan in the 1980s, had not yet been broadcast. People in China knew very little about the situation in Japan.
Even though the first order from Japan was as high as 50,000 yuan, Lin Yan had only one impression of Japan: the Japanese are very rich! They are willing to spend money on handicrafts.
People in China are not willing to spend this money. They don't eat or drink. Nowadays, many Chinese people can't even solve the problem of food and clothing.
Cui Yingqi and Wu Mingju said before that the average income in Japan is 80 times that of China, which suddenly became concrete in her mind.
Fang Jian felt that this trip to the capital was very eye-opening. I didn't expect that people in the capital also need to go abroad to broaden their horizons.
Lin Yan said, "There are mountains beyond mountains, and there are mountains higher than mountains. And there is Britain, which is an old capitalist power. I also want to go out and see it."
She said while looking at her little son sleeping in the stroller next to her. It was you who tripped me up.
Fang Jian didn't have so many thoughts for the time being. He just envied his cousin for being able to go abroad that day. He thought the capital was good and it was easier to make money. Even with a small tea stall attached, he could make more than ten or twenty yuan a day.
He talked about it with his sister privately, and Fang Fang said, "It's only possible in Dashilan. Xidan has a large flow of customers, but my father didn't set up a tea stall in Xidan." There were
indeed fewer tourists in Xidan. Basically, it was all locals. Most of the locals drank water before going out, so it was unlikely that they would spend money to buy water.
Moreover, she saw a few big bowl tea stalls in Dashilan. Uncle Song said that several of them had closed down. I guess this business is not that easy. My brother thought it was easy because my father had arranged everything before.
It was my father. He had been unable to continue setting up the big bowl tea stall in Dashilar for eleven months. Now that they can set up a stall there again, my mother is very happy.
When my mother heard that my father and Yanyan were so happy, the brother and sister laughed.
It is almost the end of August now. Second grandmother and Aunt Minghui will wait until August 26th to drink the hundred-day wine for cousin before leaving. They will naturally leave at that time.
When they go back, school will almost start. My father had taken them to all the nearby attractions before. This week, the brothers and sisters mainly went to sell handicrafts and big bowls of tea.
My mother said that they would give them one dollar a day for their hard work, and the tips they received would belong to themselves. If it was foreign currency, they would convert it into RMB according to the bank's exchange rate.
Yanyan took the more than three dollars she earned to Tokyo.
At that time, my mother laughed, "I forgot that you can still use it in Tokyo."
She gave my cousin and them a popular science on the scarcity of foreign currency on the spot. She also said that those who can earn foreign currency are now heroes of the country.
Yanyan was so happy at that time, she was also a hero.
Then her aunt said: "If you spend money carelessly abroad, you will become a pauper."
Yanyan said: "Don't be a pauper, be a hero."
Fang Fang, like Fang Jian, wanted to study in the capital more and more strongly. And she heard from her aunt that Yanyan and Tongtong would study in the capital, and they might have to learn English from the third grade of elementary school.
In their small place, English is required for the college entrance examination, and high schools can't find the corresponding teachers. Not to mention elementary school, I don't know when it will happen.
Well, to study in the capital, my aunt has to pay the high tuition for me. This is really embarrassing. But my aunt said that the investment in education is the most worthwhile, and he also said that at worst they can pay him back when they can make money in the future.
She really wants to come!
