Chapter 928 Farewell at the Airport
In the chaotic waiting hall of Narita Airport, heads were floating around.
This place was crowded with all kinds of Japanese old men and women, screaming and crying, giving flowers and hugging.
The intensity was enough to break a big hole in the ozone layer in Tokyo's sky.
This is a senior tour group that is about to leave for Hawaii in the United States.
Each group has at least a hundred people, and often a whole Boeing 737 is chartered to go there.
Although today's industrial production in Japan continues to suffer heavy losses due to the weakness of export trade.
However, due to the appreciation of the local currency, the consumption of imported products has increased simultaneously, and the cost of studying abroad and traveling abroad has also become cheaper.
Especially the elderly who have retired from government departments and enterprises and enjoy the "Welfare Pension".
Because I have money and time, I immediately became a high-quality customer group targeted by travel agencies.
So in the past six months, travel projects specially designed for these elderly people have become the mainstream business of Japanese travel agencies.
Especially towards the end of the year, more and more scenes like this have begun to take place at major international airports in Japan.
To put it bluntly, just like thirty years later, "overseas travel" also started to emerge in mainland China, and it was almost at its peak.
At that time, around Christmas, there were also many uncles and aunts in China who were going to travel to Hong Kong, Macao or abroad.
Does it make people dizzy?
faint.
Is it disturbing?
Noisy.
But for Ning Weimin, it was painful and happy at the same time.
Because even he didn't expect that this situation would turn out to be a good opportunity for him to sell trolley suitcases.
He originally came to the airport that day just to see Zou Guodong board his flight back home.
But as a result, when the two of them held a huge trolley suitcase, they immediately became the most dazzling stars as soon as they walked into the crowd of old people.
Because even though these old men and women are all dim-sighted, they generally need glasses to see.
But the problem is that they have the most personal pain in dealing with heavy luggage during the journey.
No young person can imagine that these old people brought their luggage to the airport to meet up. How much physical effort and money were spent in the specific process?
So when the members of the senior group saw the two young people, they acted like they were playing in front of them, and everyone strolled in with a large suitcase.
Under the box, there are several small windlass that rotate like hot wheels.
And if you want to turn, you can turn, and if you want to stop, you can stop. That is called being able to use your fingers like an arm, and that is called being at ease.
Can they not be surprised? Can you not be envious?
To put it bluntly, is this the same as eating sesame seed cakes with meat in front of hungry people?
And it’s still Tianfu Hao’s sauce elbow.
So these old men and women are completely different from other tourists.
The side glances were side glances, and they were also curious. But looking at Ning Weimin and the others, they knew they had to catch a flight, and no one had the nerve to disturb them. They just wanted to take a look.
The elderly group was not shy about that, and Wuyang immediately surrounded them.
It was like a robber who met a wedding party, refusing to let them go even if they were dead.
They all asked around, one asked where they bought it, the other asked how much it cost.
Hey guys, the more people surrounded us, the more people gathered around us, and soon the crowd was so full that even the tour guide who led the group tried to persuade us, but it was of no use.
Ning Weimin was first surprised and then happy, first scared and then laughed. He looked at his watch and saw that the registration time was still nearly an hour away, so he didn't care about Zou Guodong.
I chatted enthusiastically with these old men and ladies, boasting about the functionality of their product.
Although the on-site conditions did not allow him to sell on the spot, after all, the goods were ahead of their time, and he gained a lot.
First, he found that these old people were very wealthy financially.
The average monthly pension guarantee of 240,000 yen for a couple gives them enough financial ability and travel needs to purchase this kind of trolley suitcase.
Secondly, he obtained the contact numbers and addresses left by many elderly people on the spot.
Many people can’t wait to ask him to contact him after the new year and deliver the goods directly to their doorsteps.
This is an order in disguise.
Third, Ning Weimin also discovered that even tour guides from travel agencies are very fond of this kind of suitcase.
I also left my address, saying I wanted to buy a few for my colleagues in the company.
So he was inspired and immediately realized that the best sales method was at hand, which was to cooperate with travel agencies.
This not only means that he should negotiate with Japanese travel agencies as soon as possible.
What’s more important is that his cooperation with domestic travel agencies can start immediately.
You know, the major travel agencies in the capital originally had close cooperation with Tan Palace and Zhai Palace, led by Ning Weimin, and had a good relationship.
For such a small matter, he only needs to tell Zhang Shihui and ask him to contact the major travel agencies to discuss the profit sharing ratio, and it can be implemented immediately.
Look at what a fuss this is. Even when you take a stroll to the airport, you can still pick up such a thick wallet.
At least millions of yen worth of goods were sold in advance, and he came up with such a wonderful sales channel.
Who has such luck?
In short, after a while of busy work, until it was time for the elderly group to board the plane, Ning Weimin stopped contentedly.
At this time, it was only half an hour before Zou Guodong checked in.
At this last moment, Ning Weimin realized that he seemed to have committed a profit-seeking mistake again.
Obviously it was a gift, but as soon as he saw the deal coming, he couldn't hold it in his arms. He seemed a little sorry for Zou Guodong.
It is rude not to say anything, but also to let others stand with me for a long time. What kind of thing can I do?
So he quickly invited Zou Guodong to take a rest in the coffee shop.
But what he didn't expect was that these two days had not been in vain. Zou Guodong showed magnanimity at this time.
Not only did he not mind or get angry, but he acted like a big brother and took the initiative to worry about him.
“I won’t go to the cafe, it’s quite expensive. I checked in my luggage and boarded the plane as soon as I spoke. Why spend that unnecessary money? To increase the GDP of the Japanese? I can still save money. Then save it. I’d rather spend the money at home.”
“Well, we’re about to break up. If you have anything else you want to tell me, just tell me.” "Be polite to me." "No business matters. We have already communicated fully. Besides waiting for the remittance from Japan, the first thing to do is to increase the mass production of trolley suitcases and try to participate in global exhibitions. I've written down everything that needs to be written down, and I'll hand it over to Mr. Song. Anyway, aren't you going back soon? If you have any questions, we can find time to meet, but it's a private matter. I have a few words to say to you.”
"Okay, tell me. Do you want me to buy something and bring it back to you in a few days?"
"No, no, do you think I am such a philistine? ? To be honest, I never accept anything from anyone. I feel uneasy after accepting such an expensive watch from you..."
"Okay, let's not mention this...then. What exactly do you want to say?”
“Maybe you think I am a bit redundant, and maybe you will be unhappy after hearing it, but I still hope you can listen carefully to what I have to say, because I have carefully considered the following words. . As someone who is a few years older than you, I would like to remind you from an outside perspective that you should treat your feelings with caution. ”
"My feelings? You mean..."
"Yes, I mean that Japanese female star. To be honest, she is beautiful. Especially the character Konatsu she played in "March of Kamata", No man can be unmoved. But in my opinion, you still shouldn’t fall in love with her.”
“Why?”
“Because movies are movies and reality is reality and cannot be confused. In real life, you can’t give her happiness. You don’t have this condition.”
“I don’t have this condition?”
Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned. His immediate reaction was that he was looked down upon by Zou Guodong.
"Just because she is Japanese? I am Chinese? Just because she is a big star and I am a company employee? Do you think I am not worthy of her or can't support her?"
"Neither. Do you remember? Mr. Song also has a cross-border marriage, right? I have never had any prejudice against this kind of thing. I have no doubts about your financial ability. I just don't think highly of you and her. You two Everything is too different and it is simply unrealistic to be together."
"What is unrealistic? No matter how big our gap is, it will not affect our relationship. She is very happy, I can see it in her eyes."
"What you see is just an illusion."
Zou Guodong's expression was serious, which made Ning Weimin think his words were a bit mysterious.
Although he often contradicts Zou Guodong's views at work, he can completely trust his character.
So Ning Weimin also wanted to calm down at this time and listen to Zou Guodong's understanding of love.
"You have to know that men and women have different understandings of happiness in love."
Zou Guodong said carefully, "A woman's happiness lies in every contact with a man after falling in love. This includes men's attention, care and intimacy, as well as their own efforts, such as buying gifts, washing clothes, cooking, and even some more hard and tiring rough work. They can break the traditional concept and give to men financially. There are too many examples of this in history and reality. Men’s happiness is more focused on conquering something. A woman with excellent conditions will be very happy. In fact, more of this happiness is pride.”
Ning Weimin was speechless, but he agreed in his heart.
At this time, what appeared in front of his eyes was not only Matsumoto Keiko's joyful expression when she gave him a gift, but also Qu Xiao's surprised expression when she saw him downstairs in the apartment after buying a bunch of things last time.
"So..." Zou Guodong looked at Ning Weimin and continued, "A woman's happiness in love comes from her subconscious mind that she wants to marry this man. But when it comes to talking about marriage, When happiness comes, you have to face reality. Short-term happiness cannot match the long-term reality of life. For a man, the sense of responsibility is more important than the happiness he gets."
The last sentence is Rang Ning. Wei Min couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly lost his curiosity and felt that it was just lonely.
"I understand what you said, and it sounds philosophical. But to put it bluntly, is it still true that falling in love without the purpose of getting married is just a hooligan?"
This teasing reply almost made the serious Zou Guodong become angry.
"You are really... really..."
It took Zou Guodong a long time to regain his composure.
"It's okay if you have to understand it this way. Let me ask you, if you think you are in love with that Japanese star, can you marry her?"
"Why can't I marry her? Her?" Ning Weimin was confused in his heart, but on the surface he was unwilling to deny it.
"Don't act stupid, you definitely know what I'm talking about. How much older is she than you? How old will she be when you are thirty? Will you still treat her like you do today? If you are together, do you want to get married? ? Do you want a child? If you have a child, will you be considered a Chinese and a Japanese? Will you never mind what others say behind your back? "
But Zou Guodong? He is not easy to fool, his eyes are as sharp as awls.
On this key issue, there was no room for Ning Weimin to conceal anything.
"Okay, I admit, I'm lustful and I'm fascinated by her. I'm just greedy for her body and I'm an absolute gangster. But so what? Men shouldn't treat themselves like that in the first place. Is the woman I like lustful? If I’m not interested, that means I don’t love her. I really haven’t thought about marrying her, but is it wrong for me to have a crush on her? What happened to me? Who is messing with whom? Besides, can’t I have more time to think about these issues?"
After finishing speaking, Ning Weimin took a deep breath. .
But not only were his complaints useless, Zou Guodong actually hurt his heart even more.
"Don't be stupid. Let me ask you, what about your smile at Qu? Do you think the same about Xiaoqu?"
Seeing Ning Weimin being asked, Zou Guodong shook his head in a worldly manner.
"You are too greedy. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Don't you understand this?"
Ning Weimin really wants to say something, only children make choices. .
But even he himself felt stupid for saying this. It would not be unfair at all if he was beaten to death by Zou Guodong because of this.
Don’t say love is selfish, few women are willing to share love with others.
Even the blessings of Qi Ren are just flashy, and they are just enjoyable to watch
People's time and energy are limited. In his current state, his pursuit has reached a higher level. There are too many serious things to be done.
Where can I still be like the past where I only think about spending money and time on raising women?
"If it were you, how would you choose?"
Ning Weimin was silent for a long time and couldn't help but ask Zou Guodong, but this sentence was actually nonsense.
"Which do you think is the most precious, bear's paw or fish? Things are rare and valuable, so of course I would choose the more valuable over the more abundant."
As expected, Zou Guodong gave the answer that everyone would say. to respond.
But the problem is that we must first distinguish which is the fish and which is the bear's paw.
Saying it is just like not saying it at all.
To be honest, what bothered Ning Weimin in his heart was actually a scale weighing the weight of his emotions.
One end of the scale is Keiko Matsumoto, and now there is Qu Xiao on the other end.
It just so happens that this scale sometimes leans towards Matsumoto Keiko's end, and sometimes it leans towards Qu Xiao's other end, and it never stabilizes.
This will make him upset and anxious.
