Chapter 994 It’s different
It’s different!
It is indeed different!
The group of people who followed Ning Weimin out of the airport felt this themselves.
Although they are all Chinese citizens coming from the same flight.
But no matter compared with those compatriots who have to wait at the airport gate and don’t know if anyone will pick them up.
Or compared with those compatriots who can only spend most of their money to buy shuttle tickets, and have to work hard to carry large and small bags to queue to get on the bus.
Even compared to Director Li and others who were picked up by a van driver.
They all seemed too happy.
Because they don’t have to wait at all, they don’t have to spend money, and they don’t have to worry about looking for maps.
A luxurious Hino RC bus specially designed to pick them up was already waiting at the airport gate half an hour in advance.
As soon as they came out of the airport, they not only got on the bus and left, everyone had a seat, but they also enjoyed attentive service that is rare in China.
Uniformed airport attendants helped them put all their suitcases in the cabin under the seats of the big bus.
On the bus, in addition to the uniformed driver who came down and bowed to greet them, there was also a beautiful tour guide who looked like a flight attendant to receive them.
As soon as we meet, we stand at the door of the car and hand out bottles of water one by one.
This is really a courtesy only available to VIP tour groups.
To a certain extent, their travel conditions were inferior to those of the Asians and Westerners on the same flight.
This bus was sent by President Takahashi of the Yamato Tourism Branch in Meguro Ward.
The equipment is advanced and exquisite, the seats are spacious and comfortable, and the air conditioning is used for both heating and cooling. It can seat thirty-six people.
In order to thank Ning Weimin for fulfilling his promise, he gave priority to providing trolley suitcases to their branch.
President Takahashi was particularly enthusiastic about sending a car to pick him up from the airport today. As soon as he got the flight information, he arranged the vehicles and manpower, and even refused to charge a fee, just as a relationship.
How about the richer people are, the richer they are.
When a person is mixed up and is needed by many people, his ability to mobilize social resources will also exceed that of ordinary people.
Even the things that make it difficult for most people are sometimes just one sentence.
What you can enjoy without spending money is even better than spending money.
Moreover, those who serve him will be proud of it, fearing that they will not be able to handle him if they do not serve him well.
Ning Weimin has this idea in Tokyo now.
The chartered car that originally cost at least 100,000 yen per trip was in vain. The car was almost brand new, and the driver and tour guide were also the best.
This should be considered a sign of success.
Needless to say, from the perspective of others, what is there to find fault with such an arrangement?
In fact, whether it is the ordinary staff of Tan Palace, the two master chefs, or Cui Jian, Zhang Qiang and her mother, they are all happy and quite satisfied.
Although these people have all taken buses when they were in the capital, the feeling is completely different compared to Japanese buses.
The car that Yamato Sightseeing gave them felt was that it was spacious, stable, comfortable and smooth. It not only had heating, but also had a general aroma coming out of the car from time to time.
It is very different from those domestic buses with outdated models, poor maintenance and age.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t understand the tour guide’s explanation in English.
Anyway, the friendly smile and sweet voice of the tour guide were enough to make them feel at home, friendly and respected.
Especially when they saw the scenery and buildings along the way, excited smiles appeared on their cheeks.
Everyone looked out the window and felt very fresh and excited.
The three-dimensional highways are layered one after another, and the multi-layer elevated highways seem to be flying by.
The endless car lights are arranged neatly and dazzlingly.
After a while, the bus entered the tunnel, and what passed through the window was still a continuous stream of car taillights.
When the bus climbed up from the tunnel again, almost all the passengers in the bus shouted "Yeah" in unison.
Tokyo is a prosperous and developed city.
It was like a mirage, completely transparent before their eyes.
One skyscraper after another, like one giant monster after another, looking down at the dense crowds and motorcades.
It was as if the car was crawling between their toes.
The various advertising boards can be dazzling.
"The city of Tokyo is ahead. Our restaurant and residence are in the city center."
Ning Weimin turned around and introduced everyone.
Looking at this bizarre scenery, almost everyone in the car was stunned.
This is not surprising.
This largest metropolis in Asia will make foreigners who are new to the city feel extremely novel.
Even with Ning Weimin's eyes, he was still speechless.
For no other reason than prosperity.
These days, let alone the "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" of the Republic, are at least decades behind others in terms of urban construction.
Even in the whole of Asia, there is no city that can match the level of modernization of Tokyo.
Suddenly, the speed of the car slowed down again.
All the cars turned into snails, blocked on the viaduct, and could only crawl forward slowly and little by little.
A variety of cars form an almost solid river of cars on and under the bridge.
It’s like an open-air auto expo.
It was also at this time that the long-lasting silence in the car was broken again.
"Look, look! It's such a tall building! Why is it all made of glass! It's so awesome! It's like the Dragon King's Crystal Palace..."
"Look, look! There's a train passing on the bridge over there! That's the Shinkansen! I know, I know..."
"Hey, was the place we passed just now where Takakura Ken escaped from the police at the beginning of "The Pursuit"? What a place..."
"Police, Japanese police! Look, they are sitting in a police car, exactly like in the movie..."
Boy, this is hilarious.
Maybe I was depressed on the plane for too long, or maybe I was too relaxed sitting in the passenger car where I was completely alone.
These people have returned to their lively, excited, and free appearance.
But this time, Ning Weimin didn't interfere. Who said it was a chartered car?
It’s just that they are rare and strange, but it is something that the driver and tour guide of Yamato Sightseeing cannot understand at all.
The two Japanese couldn't figure out the excitement of these Chinese guests.
To be honest, I couldn't stand these two people. They looked at each other suspiciously. Even the tour guide's originally very skillful introduction came to an awkward halt.
“Why don’t you leave! The traffic jam is so severe, is something wrong?”
Especially after waiting for a long time, many people couldn’t help but stand up from their seats or stretch out their arms outside the window. Get out there.
The tour guide was a little anxious and started to stop her.
Of course, Ning Weimin couldn't just sit idly by and ignore this kind of violation of safety.
He asked everyone to sit down, reiterated the discipline, and gave this explanation.
“Traffic jams are a major feature of Tokyo. The population density here is high and there are so many cars. So there is no need to panic like in our country. You must learn to adapt. Don’t ever see a traffic jam in the future. Just worry, oh, what happened here? Did something big happen? In fact, nothing happened. If you don’t believe me, look carefully outside. People on the street are just doing their own thing and walking alone. Is there a way?”
As expected, when everyone looked at it again, everyone outside looked as if nothing had happened.
No one glanced at the noisy traffic on the street.
They were in a hurry, focusing on their own affairs and going their own way.
Only Jiang Dachun suddenly said with emotion, "It is indeed a place for little devils, so damn evil!"
This sigh with dirty words immediately caused a stir. The whole room burst into laughter.
Even Ning Weimin suppressed a smile and just said to him indifferently, "Pay attention to the occasion, you have some quality."
Anyway, the two Japanese people in the car didn't understand. , it will not cause any international disputes.
But the tour guide with a cute look on her face was a bit fooled, and she actually nodded and smiled along with him. Little does he know that he is acting like a slutty Japanese rapist.
In this way, with stops and starts along the way, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, the bus finally arrived at the most prosperous and lively area in Tokyo.
At this time, what appeared outside the car window was a gathering place of top brands from all over the world. It really seemed like a paradise-like world.
Invisibly, not only the cars on the street have become upscale, but also people's clothes have become upscale.
Even in roadside coffee shops, you can see well-dressed old gentlemen or old ladies in kimonos.
As is widely rumored in Tokyo society, the upper-class people living in Tokyo will go to Ginza even if they want to buy a bottle of soy sauce.
It may seem a bit unreal, but it is so beautiful, right in front of them.
So when the bus stopped and it was time to get off, the people on the bus became behaving again.
Not only did the speaking voice become softer again, the queues were orderly and the rules were followed.
Even Jiang Dachun, who had just been scolded as "a bitch", restrained his rough nature and behaved politely.
When I got off the bus, I repeatedly said "three grams of oil" to the driver and tour guide.
Of course, not everything is so satisfying.
For example, when these people followed Ning Weimin to the back of the Seiko Building, they finally arrived at No. 6-8, 5-chome, Ginza.
When they saw a dark alley next to the cafe, they heard that it was where everyone lived.
Compared with the prosperous street scene outside, it is inevitable that there will be a certain psychological gap.
At this time, completely involuntarily and unable to suppress the doubts in his heart, someone asked Ning Weimin a question.
"Mr. Ning, this...this is...where we live? That's right?"
"Yes. It's right here. That's right."
"Mr. Ning, this...it's so deep inside. Can we see the sun from our residence?"
"The sun? You don't need that thing. Now that you're here, you have to work under the stars and the moon from morning to night..."
Although Ning Weimin obviously meant it as a joke, he still meant what he said. How cruel!
Everyone was laughing, but they all felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and it was not really funny.
Even Zhang Qiang’s mother and two master chefs couldn’t help but frown slightly.
But when they actually walked in, these people really felt Ning Weimin's sincerity, and the unhappiness and grudge just now were swept away.
Because there is a unique cave inside, the conditions are so good that it is completely beyond everyone's expectation.
Entering the first floor is a hall, except for two long wooden tables and benches used as dining tables and chairs.
There are bookshelves with magazines and newspapers against the wall, a couch, a coffee table, a water dispenser, and a coffee machine attached to the wall.
The most important thing is that there is a 25-inch Sony TV.
Although it may be a second-hand product, it comes with a remote control. The size and clarity of the image screen basically beat most domestic color TVs instantly.
In addition, there is a kitchen, toilet, laundry room, garbage room and utility room on the first floor.
To put it bluntly, this floor is a standard public space, which can basically meet all the needs of everyone's daily life.
Although there is no sun, there is enough light in the room and it is extremely bright.
Especially the garbage room is a considerate facility.
Because according to Japan’s current social system, garbage can only be thrown away on specific days, and only designated types can be thrown away.
If you miss it, you will have to let the garbage accompany you for at least a week and endure the stench for a week.
Ordinary people are inevitably troubled by this. Only high-end apartments equipped with 24-hour garbage rooms can satisfy residents' desire to throw away garbage.
Considering that Chinese people coming to Tokyo must be weak in this aspect.
Ning Weimin simply copied the Akasaka apartment’s approach to renovation this time.
Although these people who followed him abroad at this time may not realize how convenient and valuable this is, it is indeed his most considerate consideration for everyone.
As for the second and third floors, it is relatively simple to describe.
The second floor is designated as a male dormitory, with twelve rooms.
The third floor is designated as a female dormitory with ten rooms.
In addition to toilets and showers separated from wet and dry on each floor.
Without exception, they all have bunk beds, two desks, two chairs, and two wardrobes.
Let’s put it this way, it is similar to the university dormitory model in the Republic thirty years later.
But the point is, in order to cater to everyone's living habits, all floors are tiled, so there is no need to take off your shoes.
And Ning Weimin had bought all the beds and bedding, work uniforms and toiletries, slippers and towels in advance.
Each person has one set, which is placed in the room in advance and is color-coded. Everyone just needs to look for it and use it by themselves.
The last third floor is the terrace where the accident happened.
After renovation, some flowers and plants are now planted on it, and many clothes drying racks are installed.
You can either hang your clothes here or have a barbecue here.
But this is not the end, Ning Weimin even told everyone that in order to make everyone work better.
He has hired a special administrator to be responsible for the sanitation of the public areas and floors of this small building, and he will come to work tomorrow.
After that, there will be a dedicated person to make breakfast every morning, which is completely a hotel-style management model.
Everyone just needs to keep their rooms clean.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.
Not only did Jiang Dachun blurt out, "Mr. Ning, you didn't bring us here to work, you brought us here to enjoy ourselves, right?"
The two master chefs from the kitchen even advised Ning Weimin.
“No need, really no need. If we have to pretend to be someone else’s in daily life and cleaning, wouldn’t we really become useless snacks?”
However, Ning Weimin said, "Master, that's not what you said. Going out is not as good as being at home. Good health is the most important thing. I won't be embarrassed when I really have to work overtime to practice. But on the other hand, if I spend a few hours Money can help you get a better rest, and I am willing to do it. If you are willing to come out with me, you can trust me, so I have to be worthy of you. I always believe that hard work and hardship are the key. , It’s a means, not an end, what we want in the end is to pursue a good life.”
It’s really who does what, these words clearly show the quality of Ning Weimin’s character.
Not to mention the support of the employees of Tan Gong Restaurant, the several non-staff members who were watching were all envious and admired.
Even the two master chefs who were dealing with Ning Weimin for the first time were completely at ease.
I feel quite lucky that I can work with such a reliable person when I go abroad.
Even if you're a little tired, that's okay. Why not show off your skills?
But is this the end?
How is that possible!
The last few decisions Ning Weimin announced truly reflected how kind and generous he was to his own people.
It was breathtaking and everyone cheered.
"Well, let me tell you about my plans for the next few days. I don't have any work arrangements for the next two days, so I'll take the car that picks you up today. I will take you around Tokyo and get to know the city."
“On the first day, we visited the Japanese Imperial Palace, Sensoji Temple and famous commercial streets. On the second day, we went to Disneyland. On the third day, which is March 9, we went to a restaurant to familiarize ourselves with the situation and started It’s about arranging work.”
“Also, everyone will put your luggage in the lobby on the first floor. Then go back to your room to take a rest and do some statistics to see what is missing in your daily life. An hour later, when I got back from the bank, we went shopping and visited Japanese supermarkets. "
"I am very grateful to everyone for coming out for the restaurant and for helping me. I was so busy carrying things that I didn’t bring any personal luggage. So, each of us has 50,000 yen and can buy what we need in the supermarket. "< br>
“One last thing, we are not working together these days. In order to let everyone understand the situation of the Japanese catering market as soon as possible and carry out work more realistically. Before March 9, I will ask everyone Go and taste the delicious food in various restaurants in Tokyo. You can apply for whatever dishes you want for six or seven meals, but don’t eat for free. When you come back, you have to talk about your favorite dishes and comment on the Japanese service level and style.”
Finally, when Ning Weimin asked, "How is it? Can it be done?", the whole audience was excited.
Who would have thought that such a good thing could happen?
Everyone was talking, smiling, and wanted to explode.
Xiao Cha even raised his arms and shouted, "Long live! The wise and powerful!"
Jiang Dachun also raised his thumbs with both hands, "Mr. Ning, you are a hero! What a hero!"
Where is this going?
But this is also true love.
