Chapter 149: Hair Sways Like a Willow in the Wind
Since today is the first night that Lin Qianxue's team arrives in Tokyo, everyone is quite polite at night. Everyone shares a bottle of this Kuro Kirishima shochu and a few pots of sake. After chatting for a while, Haneda Haruma sent Lin Qianxue and her team back to the hotel to rest, fearing that they were tired from the journey and asked them to rest early.
After returning to the hotel and washing his face, Li Xiaofan went out to stroll around the hotel alone.
On the small street near Shiba Park, he found several video game arcades. It was already 9:30 in the evening, and the lights were still on.
He walked in and saw that there were all Japanese adult men. They were playing arcade games in the video game arcade with great concentration, and many people stood there watching the people next to them play because they had no seats.
Moreover, when Li Xiaofan looked closely, there were many white-collar men in suits and leather shoes, who seemed to be working people nearby, and most of them were over 30 years old and played very hard.
This surprised Li Xiaofan a little. At present, most of the game rooms in China are basically dominated by teenagers and children.
That kind of arcade on the streets of Tokyo is so popular!
Before rebirth, Li Xiaofan read some articles and reports, saying that the pace of life of Japanese people is very fast. Since the whole family needs to rely on men to make a living, they are under great pressure, especially middle-aged people over 30 years old. They are walking on thin ice in the company, working overtime until late at night, and facing tedious housework when they go home. Therefore, most Japanese men will go to the arcade to play games after get off work to release their day's pressure. At the same time, this is also the happiest time of the day for Japanese men. After ten o'clock, they will go home with little interest and continue to work hard the next day...
It is also said that Japanese people admire the strong. For Japanese people, overtime is a proud thing. If they go home at six o'clock in the evening after get off work, Japanese women will think that their men are no longer important in the company and the leaders are dispensable to them. So for Japanese men, going home early from get off work will make them look idle, as if their careers have stagnated. As a result, many people choose to go to the arcade after get off work to create the illusion that they are busy with their careers, so that they can have fun and not be criticized by neighbors for going home too early, avoiding many embarrassments such as being complained about for going home too early...
Li Xiaofan didn't expect this situation to happen in front of him!
He went in to take a look at the game content of the arcade and found that in addition to some very simple mahjong games, there was actually a fighting game "Street Fighter" produced by CAP, with characters such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Gale, Kasugano Sakura, Alex, Vega, Akuma, etc., which were very friendly!
There are also "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Famous Generals", "Captain Hook", etc....
Li Xiaofan suddenly felt that the electronic game industry was a topic worth studying. Next, WIN95 will be launched in August this year. The electronic game world will be more exciting after connecting to the Internet!
He quickly took out his notebook to record his thoughts. He had to find a way to take a big bite of this huge cake!
…
The arrangement for the next day, Friday, was to continue to experience TAIYO's third-generation automatic integrated circuit board test machine and technical exchanges. The other party arranged several senior development engineers to interact with them and answer the technical questions raised by Lin Qianxue and others.
In this way, by Friday afternoon, the main work arrangements were basically completed.
The next day was Saturday. Early in the morning, Haruma Haneda accompanied Lin Qianxue and Li Xiaofan and others on the Shinkansen train to visit their company's research institute in Osaka.
In fact, this investigation was just a cover. In fact, he accompanied Lin Qianxue and others to see the cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle.
Osaka Castle, Nagoya Castle and Kumamoto Castle are known as the three famous castles in Japan. They are inextricably linked to the famous general Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It was originally built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Warring States Period. The tall city walls made it a watchtower during the Warring States Period to guard the city.
After checking in at the hotel for a simple lunch at noon, Haruma Haneda accompanied them to the famous Osaka Castle Park.
For Lin Qianxue and Li Xiaofan, it was their first time to come to Osaka Castle, the most famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan, in this cherry blossom season. The white walls of the castle tower and the countless light pink cherry blossoms here complement each other, making tourists linger.
They walked on the cherry blossom avenue, as if they were in a pink ocean. The wind blew, as if they were communicating with the cherry trees. The main city, the moat and the cherry blossoms outlined a romantic, simple and beautiful picture.
When Lin Qianxue and Li Xiaofan saw the more than 4,000 cherry blossoms blooming together in front of them, they were deeply shocked!
The scene of more than 4,000 cherry trees blooming together around the majestic Osaka Castle is indeed a shocking landscape painting. When the breeze blew, cherry blossoms rained in the park. People under the cherry trees felt intoxicated.
They wandered under the cherry trees, stepping on the soft petals, and the fragrance of the petals that had not yet dissipated was refreshing.
Countless cherry blossoms are flying in the sky, following you around, everything seems so peaceful and beautiful.
The flowers are clustered into clouds, and the petals are floating like snow. It is so beautiful that it seems to be out of this world, so beautiful that it is unbelievable!
"It's so beautiful!" Lin Qianxue, Li Xiaofan and others couldn't help but admire it.
After playing around Osaka Castle, Yamada Ichiro, the boss of Haneda Haruma, also rushed to Osaka in the evening to entertain Lin Qianxue and his party again.
Whether the performance of the department that Ichiro Yamada is in charge of in the first and second quarters can exceed that of the same period last year depends on the new orders from Lin Qianxue and his team from Singapore Westwood Electronics.
Therefore, Ichiro Yamada attaches great importance to the inspection of Lin Qianxue and his team.
It is said that the principle followed by Ichiro Yamada's department is: either visiting customers or taking customers to drink wine...
The dinner was arranged at a restaurant near Daban City.
In addition to ordering some fresh beer and sake tonight, Ichiro Yamada also recommended his favorite Kuro Kirishima Shochu.
And the waiter served two bottles at the beginning. It seems that they want to drink tonight and seem to be well prepared.
Japanese shochu is generally low in alcohol, between 25 and 45 degrees, and shochu is distilled.
The taste is warmer than Chinese liquor.
Li Xiaofan smiled in his heart. Isn't this wine the sweet potato shochu from our hometown? I have tasted it the night before. The sweet potato shochu from my hometown has a much higher alcohol content than this Kuro Kirishima shochu.
When drinking shochu in a restaurant, you can add ice cubes and water according to the customer's request, or add boiled water, prunes or lemon, etc.
When they started drinking tonight, Haruma Haneda and his boss Ichiro Yamada were relatively gentle and polite, and they toasted in circles.
Japanese people generally don't persuade unfamiliar guests to drink, but close friends will persuade those who like to drink.
But the two of them seemed to understand the Chinese drinking culture a little bit, and they said things like "Don't go home until you're drunk" while toasting.
Finally, the two of them aimed at Lin Qianxue and tried their best to persuade her to drink.
Among the four people who came from Singapore Ximu Electronics Factory, Li Xiaofan had the best alcohol tolerance, followed by Lin Qianxue, while A Long and A Mei were not good.
Lin Qianxue's alcohol tolerance was okay, and half a bottle of red wine was no problem.
Haruma Haneda and his boss Ichiro Yamada were also old friends. Especially after going to see the intoxicating cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle in the afternoon, she was in a good mood, so she was more relaxed tonight and accepted everyone who came.
In the second half of the drinking, the drunk beauty's face was rosy, and she did not forget to speak softly and shyly. Lin Qianxue began to speak with a lisp.
Li Xiaofan knew that she was a little drunk, so he stepped forward to block the wine for Lin Qianxue.
"Haneda-san, Yamada-san, we are so happy tonight, it's not fun to drink with a small wine glass! How about we just toast with this wine pot?"
Because Li Xiaofan easily gets angry when drinking, Haneda Haruma and his boss Yamada Ichiro thought that Li Xiaofan's alcohol tolerance was not very good.
They were all deceived by his red face.
Yamada Ichiro said cheerfully:
"Okay, Li-san, let's drink a pot!"
After Yamada Ichiro finished, Haneda Haruma took over. They thought that with the two of them drinking, it would be no problem to knock Li Xiaofan down!
Who knew that after Li Xiaofan drank eight pots in a row, Ichiro Yamada and Haruma Haneda, who drank four pots each, were lying on the table, holding their heads and talking nonsense...
Li Xiaofan smiled and said, "Haneda-san, Yamada-san, do you want to continue drinking?"
"Li, Li-san, hello..." Ichiro Yamada and Haruma Haneda began to speak unclearly.
In the end, this drinking game ended with a big victory for Li Xiaofan.
But Lin Qianxue seemed to be drunk tonight. She was drunk after drinking shochu, and she drank beer and sake before. It is easy to get drunk when drinking three kinds of wine together.
Ichiro Yamada and Haruma Haneda drank themselves down like this.
A-long and A-mei on the side were also drunk and dozed off with their eyes squinting.
Finally, Li Xiaofan asked the clerk to help call a taxi, and then helped Lin Qianxue, A-long, A-mei and others into the taxi one by one.
After arriving at the hotel, they were helped out one by one and sent to the hotel room.
After sending Lin Qianxue to the room, Li Xiaofan was about to leave, but Lin Qianxue called him: "Afan! Slow down and talk to me..."
The half-drunk Lin Qianxue had a flushed face and rosy cheeks.
Her hair swayed like a willow in the breeze from the window...
It is true that the face of a woman is as rosy as a peach blossom, and the seductive beauty is just in time for spring!
