Chapter 1242 Warm Welcome
At eight o'clock in the morning on April 11, 1987, the inspection team from China arrived in Tokyo today.
Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang were sitting in a 21-year-old Nissan Bilian transferred from Yamato Tourism, speeding on the highway leading to Narita Airport.
It is relatively late for Tokyo to welcome cherry blossoms this year. Even at this time, the cherry blossoms are still in full bloom outside the car and the scenery is like flowers.
But despite this, Ning Weimin had no intention of admiring it. Instead, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Not for anything else, but because the task of receiving the inspection team this time is far from being as easy and simple as it sounds.
Ning Weimin knew very well that the extra bonus he gave to the Chinese employees of Ginza Tan Palace was an outrageous act, and the paper could not contain the anger.
Even if he ordered it to be sealed, not everyone would do it, and there are still family members.
Showing off is human nature and will spread sooner or later.
Once word of this gets out, the huge income gap at home and abroad will lead to countless envy, jealousy and criticism.
He will undoubtedly become the one who upsets the hornet's nest, and all kinds of dissatisfaction and resistance will sweep towards him.
It's okay inside Tan Palace, and Pierre Cardon doesn't have much to do with it. The most troublesome thing is probably the two state-owned entities that participated in the investment in Tan Palace.
Without any thought, Ning Weimin knew what some people with a little power would think.
They absolutely can't stand their subordinates. The income of ordinary people can exceed them by such a huge gap.
As the initiator of this matter, he will definitely be regarded as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
I'm afraid that even the principal and Qiao Wanlin, who have been supporting him and trusting him, will not understand this and find this matter difficult.
But the problem is that Ning Weimin has no better way to deal with this matter.
He really couldn't bear to let those who followed him to work in a foreign country out of trust, while working hard and sweating, feel angry and disappointed.
If he really does this, there will be only one result: people will be dispersed, the team will no longer be able to lead, and the quality of the restaurant's dishes and services will plummet.
This in turn led to a decrease in customers, a collapse in reputation, and even affected the overall expansion of Tan Gong Restaurant at home and abroad.
Therefore, the only way out is to serve the people of the inspection team well this time, gain their understanding first, and then use their power to calm the matter and preserve the current victory of Tan Gong Restaurant.
Of course, if you want to achieve this goal and satisfy these people who can really determine the future of the altar palace, you need to use some brains and some tricks.
Let them see what to see this time, how to see it, and what excuses they should use, so that they can fully understand Japan's complex market operating environment and understand their own difficulties.
It also includes where to play, how to play, and how to let them have fun without adding any psychological burden to them, so that they feel that the trip is worthwhile.
In this way, the purpose of this inspection can be achieved.
In short, as long as you are with me, everything will be easy.
At least Ning Weimin is confident that he can maintain stability for a few years until the economic bubble collapses. At that time, he will be able to advance and attack, and retreat and defend. There will be many options.
At that time, even if the overseas altar palace cannot continue to operate, but it has made money, it will not be in vain if it can move to the country and flourish everywhere.
But if we can’t accompany them well and make these people have grudges and opinions, then we will never talk about opening a branch in Japan. It will be good if we can keep the normal operation of the Ginza Danmiya store. .
Domestic progress will naturally be slowed down by insufficient funds.
Therefore, he had no choice but to act cautiously, which is why he had the idea of recruiting Yao Peifang to serve as a foreign aid.
If he had seen the right person, with this girl's intelligence, agility and ability to deal with people, it would be easy to get in touch with her in about ten days and win the favor of most members of the inspection team.
After all, such a pleasing young girl can make you feel better just by looking at her, which is an absolute plus.
And Yao Peifang himself is a ready-made example, which is enough to illustrate the various difficulties and psychological imbalances of Chinese workers living in Japan with their income.
This is obviously very helpful for him to prove the rationality of his actions.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yao Peifang. Unexpectedly, what a coincidence.
The girl he had high hopes for was actually staring at him at this moment.
I don’t know how long this girl has been observing him. She didn’t expect that he would suddenly look back and look away in panic.
While she turned her face away, her fair face also turned slightly red.
Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh at his forced nonchalant behavior even though he was clearly guilty.
In his eyes, Yao Peifang was indeed dressed up like an untouched little girl.
Today he is wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, his beige baseball cap on his head, and orange sneakers on his feet.
They were all chosen by him.
This outfit made her, who was already very delicate and beautiful, look one or two years younger than her original age, like a college student who had not graduated from school.
However, just when Ning Weimin was proud of himself for creating the image of a young girl, a gust of wind blew from the window, lifting Yao Peifang's hair, and suddenly his heart broke. There was a throbbing.
On her beautiful and lively side face, he suddenly saw the shadow of a smile.
It not only reminded him of those times we spent together in the past, but also reminded him of the beautiful promises that were almost made, and the dreams that might have been born but failed to take shape.
And Yao Peifang’s hair is full of fresh and clean smell.
This sweet fragrance that drifts in the wind brings Ning Weimin a feeling just like that rainy night many years ago when Qu Xiao was kicked out of the house by his parents. He went to save Qu Xiao from crying. It was the same smell that I smelled when I took him back to Chongwenmen Hotel.
Perhaps beautiful girls are all the same in some aspects. He is absolutely sure that Qu Xiao also has the same smell wafting around her body.
…………
On the tarmac of Tokyo International Airport, a flight from the Republic landed smoothly.
A large number of Chinese passengers got off the plane one after another.
Judging from the upright looks on most people's faces and the way they are dressed, most of the passengers on this flight are here for inspection.
They came to the customs with their luggage and documents.
Qiao Wanlin, deputy director of the Service Bureau, walked at the front. From time to time, he reminded the group of people following him not to fall behind and not to talk to strangers.
And his immediate boss and backer, Deputy Director Jin, followed closely behind him, almost every step of the way.
Compared with the calmness of the past, he seemed a little confused and confused.
The other entourage behind them, the men, all looked like porters, carrying trolley suitcases in their left and right hands.
There were five or six female comrades mixed in the team, all of whom were family members of senior staff from the Service Bureau and the Temple of Heaven Park. They were relatively relaxed, carrying only their carry-on bags on their shoulders.
But the nervousness of being in a foreign country cannot be concealed.
In addition to holding their own things tightly with both hands, their eyes kept looking left and right. It seems that he is looking for direction, or to guard against thieves who may appear around him at any time.
Behind these women, there are two beautiful and fashionable young girls.
One is Xiao Luo, the secretary of Deputy Director Jin, and the other is Chang Shasha, the daughter of the deputy director of Tiantan. They are both very light.
At the end of the team was the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven accompanying the elderly director.
These two are highly respected, one is over sixty and the other is almost fifty. Their combined age is one hundred and ten years old. They can be called the fixed stars of this team.
Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang stood side by side directly opposite the passenger exit, waiting anxiously for their appearance.
You can tell your mentality from this. Ning Weimin is anxious, but he is actually forty years old in his heart. You can't tell it from his expression.
Yao Peifang is really young, standing on tiptoes and stretching his neck, nervously looking inside.
It seemed that she was more excited than Ning Weimin, as if she was welcoming a long-lost relative, but in fact she didn't know anyone.
And her tall stature and outstanding beauty immediately made her stand out from the crowd and became the most conspicuous one in the crowd picking up the airport.
But even if it is a mistake, there is an advantage to it.
When Qiao Wanlin walked out of the airport hall with a long queue, because he noticed Yao Peifang at first sight, he didn’t put much effort into finding the person standing next to her. Old friend Ning Weimin immediately waved his hands excitedly.
Ning Weimin immediately came forward with Yao Peifang.
Needless to say, when everyone meets, they must exchange a few words.
Many people are familiar with Ning Weimin, so no additional introduction is needed. Just shake hands and nod in order of position.
Especially those in the Temple of Heaven Park, they are all old partners who are very familiar with each other, and there is no need to be too polite.
Qiao Wanlin was mainly responsible for introducing to him one by one the directors and deputy directors of the service bureau whom Ning Weimin did not know.
But in the end, because they had never seen Yao Peifang, everyone thought that she who was standing next to her smiling and saying nothing, with delicate eyebrows and fashionable clothes, was regarded as Japanese, which made a lot of fun.
The perpetrator was Qiao Wanlin, who relied on his close friendship. Before Ning Weimin could introduce Yao Peifang, he made a smart joke in front of everyone.
"Okay, you guys are equipped with female secretaries. This Japanese girl is quite sassy, and she is really different from our Beijing girls..."
I didn't expect that Yao Peifang would react after hearing this , No need to ask, no need to give in, I immediately ran to him in a few steps, held his hand, and spoke to him enthusiastically and generously.
"Leader, thank you for your compliment, but you have misunderstood. I am not Japanese. My name is actually Yao Peifang, and I am from Shanghai. I am now temporarily acting as Manager Ning's assistant. It is a great honor to receive you in Tokyo. "
This made Qiao Wanlin's eyes widen in surprise. He was completely caught off guard, with a bewildered expression on his face.
As a result, there was something even more amazing. Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Yao Peifang immediately waved her hand gently and imitated the "Flowers of the Motherland" in "Xinwen Lianbo" that welcomed foreign guests.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Warmly welcome all leaders to come."
This is bad, everyone knows the words, which completely proves that Yao Peifang is a red seedling. True pedigree.
"Oh, yes, welcome, warm welcome. I didn't expect you, a little comrade, to be quite humorous. You are really one of our compatriots."
Amid everyone's laughter, Qiao Wanlin seemed to have just woken up from a nap, and he also smiled, "Look at the look in my eyes, it's true, how can such a height come from little Japan? Comrade Xiao Yao, right? That's a good code."
After he praised Yao Peifang, he turned around and held Ning Weimin's hand, as if he suddenly became smarter.
Close to his ear and whisper, "You, how did you get such a beautiful girl? She can't be a model from your Pierre Cardon company, right?"
Ning Wei People admit it frankly.
“That’s right, not only is she a model, but she is also the runner-up in the competition. Didn’t you watch last year’s competition? You have no impression of her at all?”
“Oh, I still I really don’t see it. I don’t have the time to care about this. But... this, this, is this appropriate? You actually let a national runner-up do chores for us! How can you imagine such a delicate little person? Son, we are too embarrassed to instruct you.”
"Oh, there's nothing inappropriate. Only having the national runner-up serve will make you look like VIPs. Don't worry, just do whatever you want. This little girl is very nice, not pretentious at all, and not squeamish at all. The key is language. On the other hand, we are alone, so communication is easy. To be honest, our schedule is not easy and we need to travel a lot. Although Japan is developed, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided according to Japanese habits. I can’t speak a word of Chinese. I’m definitely too busy by myself. With her here, not only can I feel more relaxed, but it will also be much more convenient for you.”
Ning Weimin was patiently explaining to Qiao Wanlin the garden of the Temple of Heaven. At this time, Chang came forward and asked questions.
"Weimin, this little Comrade Yao said she is your temporary assistant, will she stay with us all the time?"
"Yes, she is the whole person I hired to accompany us. Itinerary. The so-called temporary is to help me for ten days until the leaders are satisfied with the return flight. "
"Okay, okay, this girl is nice, she looks very lively. Such an old guy’s life is full of energy all day long, and what he lacks most is this kind of vitality.”
Even the director of the garden expressed satisfaction, so Qiao Wanlin naturally had no objections.
What I haven’t said yet, the next step is for everyone to walk out of the terminal, get on the bus and set off.
After a while, I saw Ning Weimin greeting me at the gate, and the Japanese driver from Yamato Sightseeing drove over.
It should be said that it is very appropriate for the inspection group of sixteen people to arrange a station wagon with 21 seats.
Not only can everyone sit down, but there are also two back seats that can accommodate inconvenient bags and clothes.
But there is only one problem, that is, there seems to be not enough space to put the large trolley suitcase that everyone has.
However, Yao Peifang realized that this was a problem and became anxious and worried, and immediately reminded Ning Weimin.
To her surprise, she actually got such an answer.
“No problem, all the large luggage will not go with the station wagon. I will go and communicate with the airport right now, and I will charter a car to take these large luggage directly to the destination.”< br>
“Hey? Won’t your luggage go with everyone? Send so much luggage directly to the hotel?”
"No, no, send it directly to Tan Gong Restaurant."
"What? Rice, restaurant!"
"Haha, I forgot to tell you, none of these are our personal luggage , I actually asked everyone to bring the things that Tan Gong was eager to use, including seasonings and kitchen utensils, as well as some handicrafts. Before departure, I asked people from Tan Gong to bring them to everyone at the airport. Didn't you notice? These boxes are all the same. How could they be personal luggage? I'm afraid they can't tell who brought them here. ? We don’t even have daily necessities. What will we use then? ”
“It’s not easy. Let’s go to the supermarket next for toiletries, clothes and shoes, tea and snacks, instant noodles and so on. , just spend money to buy it. Oh, by the way, don’t forget about yourself, and include yourself.”
"Ah? Buy them all now! How much does that cost?"
"Ah, what, you are a Shanghai girl, you can't even calculate such an account clearly. I tell you, don't be dissatisfied Waste, I can at least save tens of millions of yen from these things, do you believe it? To be honest, this is an old tradition of our Danmiya Japanese branch, otherwise I would have spent at least hundreds of millions of yen in vain. "
Yao Peifang really didn't expect that the first class she attended today was an eye-opener for her, and she learned that legal "smuggling transactions" can also be done using airplanes.
However, Manager Ning actually took advantage of the leaders of the inspection team. This is... is it too bold?
