Chapter 1410 Night Talk at Izakaya
Izakaya, a word that often appears in Japanese dramas, seems to represent a kind of culture.
What is an izakaya?
Literally understood, an izakaya is a shop where you can "drink".
"Ji" in Japanese means "to sit down", so izakaya can be understood as a shop where you can sit down and drink.
Although this kind of understanding seems a little pale, nonsense, which restaurant is drinking standing up?
But in fact, in ancient times, RB's wine shop was called "wine house".
In the past, the main business of the winery was brewing and selling wine. The purpose of most people visiting the winery was just to buy wine, and they would not stay in the store for too long.
Until the Edo period in the 17th century, in addition to selling alcohol, wine bars in some places also allowed consumers to drink in the store.
At that time, the consumers who went to the wine house to drink were mainly merchants and peddlers who carried burdens; grooms, coachmen, and servants of noble families were basically the bottom group who made a living by selling their strength. There is not much entertainment, and going to wine houses to drink is their leisure activity.
Later, this kind of wine house culture reproduced little by little, and it became a kind of popularity.
Since you want to drink, it is natural to have food and drinks, otherwise it will be too monotonous.
The earliest appetizers for drinking were very simple. Tofu was threaded on bamboo sticks, brushed with miso sauce and grilled on the fire. The biggest feature of this kind of snack is that it is cheap!
Later, due to the needs of customers, some izakayas began to sell more kinds of cooked food, and snacks such as oden came into being. A variety of foods such as sashimi, sushi, and kebabs appeared in izakayas little by little.
As izakayas provide more and more types of food, people in RB may not necessarily drink alcohol when they go to izakayas, but they may just want to sit down with relatives and friends for a long time to chat and eat.
In addition, RB strictly prohibits drunk driving and underage drinking, and izakaya also sells non-alcoholic drinks in order to keep customers.
So now the boundaries between izakaya and general restaurants are becoming more and more blurred. Moreover, the purpose of general restaurants is to let customers eat, while izakaya can not only let customers eat, but also chat for a long time.
Even if you chat until late at night, it doesn’t matter. Izakaya has become the favorite entertainment place for RB office workers. They may not just want to drink, but may just want to find a place where they can relax and chat with colleagues, drink and eat.
It’s just that Yang Cheng didn’t expect that Yuji Sato would arrange the meeting place in an izakaya. Of course, it’s not a more commercialized chain store, but a family-style izakaya hidden in an alley. This kind of family workshop usually focuses on regular customers nearby. .
After Yang Cheng entered the door, he found that the izakaya, which was supposed to be extremely lively, was extremely deserted, perhaps because it was reserved, not only were there no customers, not even a waiter.
Except for a middle-aged woman who seems to be the boss, standing behind the bar counter, behind her is a dazzling array of wine cabinets.
At this time, the proprietress was talking and laughing with a bald man with his back to the door. She was taken aback when she saw Yang Cheng, then bowed and said something in Japanese. Yang Cheng couldn't understand, so she could only smile politely. He waved his hand, indicating that he does not speak Japanese.
The man with his back turned to him also turned around, and Yang Cheng recognized Yuji Sato at a glance. His iconic Mediterranean haircut and sinister eyes, as long as he took a look at the photo, he would never forget it.
He didn't get up, but just beckoned Yang Cheng to sit down, and he didn't have the usual humility and etiquette of RB people. On the contrary, he still had an indifferent attitude towards Yang Cheng.
Walking over slowly, before he was seated, Sato Yuji said in Chinese with a strong accent, "Sit down, there are no outsiders here, so you can talk whatever you want."
Yang Cheng nodded, and saw several snacks on the bar table, fried chicken cartilage, sashimi, cold tofu and pickled cucumbers, all common appetizers in izakaya.
"Would you like a drink?" Sato Yuji picked up the jug and shook it.
Yang Cheng casually picked up the empty cup in front of her, "Of course~"
The clear and transparent wine falls into the glass,
A faint aroma of wine wafts out, good sake.
"Try it, it's home-brewed, and the snacks are also home-cooked."
Yang Chengke picks up a piece of chicken cartilage and puts it in his mouth. The seasoning is actually the same as Japanese fried chicken, but the taste is more crispy and addictive. With a sip of sake, he can relax both physically and mentally.
“Very good taste~”
Sato Yuji seemed to be just polite for a routine, and then said bluntly, "Do you know why I agreed to meet you?"
Yang Cheng didn't like his superior attitude very much, but his skill in nourishing Qi was not bad, so he asked calmly, "Why?"
"Because I want to make a deal with you~" Sato Yuji said bluntly.
It's a deal again, Yang Cheng is getting tired of hearing this word, but this society is a society of interests, it's impossible to just ask for it unilaterally, the deal is the mainstream!
So he didn't say anything, and asked directly, "Tell me~"
"After you take over Westinghouse Electric, you cannot cancel the RB branch, and you must ensure that there will be no large-scale layoffs."
Yang Cheng didn't answer in a hurry, as if weighing the pros and cons, she ate a piece of crispy and sweet cucumber, took a sip of sake, and after making enough gestures, she said, "No~"
Sato Yuji was not in a hurry to get angry, "Why?"
"Westinghouse Electric has already failed in RB. As a loser, what reason is there to continue to survive in this market? As for its employees, hehe, unless they are willing to go to the United States with the company, otherwise~"
Yang Cheng shook her head while talking~
In fact, he is very clear about the purpose of Yuji Sato's proposal of this condition. It is nothing more than to increase his political bargaining chips. Seeing that the Ambewan people are going to reorganize the House of Representatives, why don't he hurry up and add some impressive achievements to himself?
After figuring out what he wanted, Yang Cheng sighed in his heart, the little RB is a rogue, to cause such a big disturbance, he even did not hesitate to fight against the American father's company, just to seek more benefits.
Just think about it, once he succeeds in securing the job opportunities for hundreds of thousands of employees of Westinghouse Electric RB Company, what kind of height will the media and people's reputation for him rise to?
Sure enough, this so-called nationalist is just a cloak he puts on for his own benefit!
However, he also admired the other party's patience, and he was not willing to speak out his appeal until his big boss came forward. He had successfully created an image of being desperate for the sake of the nation and righteousness, but he earned enough superficial points.
When he appeared, Yuji Sato didn't mind his plot being exposed, and put forward the conditions neatly. Regardless of whether Yang Cheng agrees or not, the initiative is in his hands. This old fox is really shrewd!
