Chapter 1,247 Insomnia

On the night they met in the Japanese garden of the New Otani Hotel, Yao Peifang sat with Ning Weimin for a long time.

From 7pm to nearly midnight.

They even had dinner in the garden.

Fifty meters further in, there is a teppanyaki restaurant hidden in the garden - Shixinting.

Because the restaurant is not large and only sells teppanyaki and sake, not many guests staying in the hotel will pay attention to it.

In addition, it started to drizzle at around 8pm.

In fact, when Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang were dining, there were only the two of them in the restaurant except for the service staff, as if they had reserved the restaurant.

However, facing the wet and slightly cool rain scene, enjoying a few pots of warm sake, Ning Weimin, who should have relaxed, had a serious face and talked about some very boring content.

It must be said that, just as he had predicted in advance, they were all business troubles and work troubles.

With Yao Peifang's current knowledge, it was difficult for him to even understand, let alone to help him solve the problem.

But to be honest, Yao Peifang, who is extremely smart, also understands that Ning Weimin may not really be telling her.

The real reason why he confided these things to her is probably just as Ning Weimin said, in order to dump the garbage in his heart and relieve the pressure, he needs someone like her to accompany him.

For this reason, Yao Peifang tried his best to be a good listener.

While trying to understand what Ning Weimin said, in addition to smiling and nodding appropriately, he would also obediently pour Ning Weimin a glass of wine.

She didn't know that what she learned without a teacher was precisely the skills of those Ginza public relations ladies to make money.

But this just had the best effect, providing Ning Weimin with high emotional value.

So in such a considerate and quiet companionship process, Ning Weimin's negative emotions were fully released, and Yao Peifang's feminine charm was fully displayed.

Naturally, the two people became closer emotionally, and even Ning Weimin became more and more talkative.

Unconsciously, their conversation gradually went beyond the initial scope and gradually expanded to sharing each other's feelings about life in Japan, their views on Japan as a country, their views on some social phenomena in Japan, and even some changes in the country that Ning Weimin had just learned from Qiao Wanlin, as well as the goals he hoped to achieve in Japan...

In this way, for Yao Peifang, the conversation began to become interesting.

Not only was she able to participate to a certain extent, but after these conversations, she had a new understanding of many things, even of Ning Weimin.

In the end, the two of them returned home with a full meal and a full stomach, and went back to rest.

But having said that, this conversation was not without side effects.

Although Ning Weimin returned to the room drunk, he slept soundly and had a beautiful dream because of his happy confession.

But some of his words left a deep impression on Yao Peifang.

So much so that Yao Peifang, lying on the bed, was like being bewitched and cast a spell, and still unconsciously recalled the experience of the day and the conversation of the night.

It rained outside the window all night, and Yao Peifang slept and woke up in bed, thinking all night accompanied by the sound of rain.

This seriously affected her sleep quality.

Even in the short dream, she seemed to be recalling and savoring the topics that Ning Weimin discussed with her today.

Is Japan developed?

Is Japan rich?

Are the Japanese happy?

Is the rapid rise of Japan worthy of our respect?

At first she thought her answer was yes.

Apart from anything else, today as an accompanying person and the inspection team to visit the underground commercial street, she felt a lot.

Before coming to Japan, she had deliberately looked at the geography and history of Japan.

It is clear that the land area of ​​this country is only one-twenty-sixth of China, and the population is about one-tenth of the Republic.

The per capita density is greater than that of her own country.

Logically, the living space of the Japanese should be much smaller than that of the Republic.

But the actual situation is so amazing that the Republic has not yet been able to turn the buildings on the ground into buildings, but the Japanese have already moved all the commercial areas underground.

If, as she saw today, the Japanese have learned how to make full use of underground space, then Japan's land use area will expand in depth, and the prospects are unlimited.

Besides, it's not just underground. Today, when the tour bus was about to enter Tokyo, she also saw the car chain flying in the air, and Japan's three-dimensional intersection bridge was moving towards the sky.

This is the power of modernization!

In her opinion, the Japanese are not willing to be bound to a limited island country.

However, the war of aggression has once caused the Japanese to be almost annihilated, and they seem to have deeply learned the lesson of "those who play with fire will burn themselves."

Knowing that they cannot covet the territory of other countries and must stand on their own land, they are exploring another possibility.

This makes her feel that the Japanese are a nation that is brave enough to correct themselves, a nation that is not stingy with their own, and a wise and smart nation!

Of course, they are respectable and admirable.

However, Ning Weimin easily shattered her feeling.

Ning Weimin told her that the Japanese are dogs that can't change their eating shit, and they will not learn lessons in their bones.

Why?

Because Japan is a "villain country" that is extremely admiring of power but extremely inferior, it only recognizes strength and not morality.

The most obvious evidence is that we drove the Japanese away in the eight-year war of resistance. As a victorious country, we did not ask for compensation, but were despised by them.

But Japan was able to put aside its national hatred and sincerely accept the United States as its father after being hit by two atomic bombs from the United States. This kind of extreme admiration for the strong "spirit" is not something that ordinary people can do.

In turn, Japan is also accustomed to substituting other countries into their own national character.

At the beginning, the devils thought that the massacre could make China tremble and surrender, but they didn't expect to make a wrong calculation, fall into the quagmire of a protracted war, and eventually fail.

Ning Weimin also told her not to think that the Japanese have become civilized, polite, understand the harm of war, and start to talk about friendship between the two countries.

The Japanese will never truly repent, they will only fool people with superficial apologies.

Their value is that no matter how big the mistake is, they can take it lightly with an apology. Since I have apologized, what else do you want from me?

The current friendliness to us and the so-called housing market for war are just hypocritical and temporary interests.

Japan, a country with scarce resources, is based on electronic products and automobiles. What they produce needs to be exported, and naturally they cannot do without the huge market of China.

In fact, another war has already started, but this time everyone is not fighting with guns and cannons, but industrial technology and economic strength.

At present, Japan, which is ahead of us in everything, actually pursues to turn China into their economic vassal and their raw material supplier, so that they can always use the high added value of industrial products and electronic products to shear the wool of the Chinese people.

Ning Weimin does not deny that some Japanese people today are indeed deeply traumatized by the war, regret from the bottom of their hearts, and are truly anti-war.

But the problem is that the underlying color of the Japanese national character is mercenary and selfish. What if these people who have really experienced the war die?

Then the next generation of Japan will think that this matter has nothing to do with them.

Not only will they try their best to deny and quibble, but they will also have no sense of guilt, thinking that the victims are unwilling to let go of the past and are stingy.

As for the achievements made by the Japanese in science and technology, medical care, and industrial levels, in Ning Weimin's view, it is not completely as the Japanese themselves say, that they are the results of their hard work.

Because companies like Mitsubishi and Toshiba were originally military-industrial enterprises during the war of aggression against China.

After the defeat, these companies were not liquidated, but instead reaped the benefits of the war during the Korean War.

They only achieved today's fruitful results with the support of the Americans and the funds and technology they obtained through a large number of war orders.

The Japanese medical industry is even more despised.

You know, Japan's biochemical troops conducted countless human experiments on Chinese people and collected a large amount of data, which led to Japan's leading medical level in the world today.

To put it bluntly, the development achievements of the Japanese today are all flowers watered with the blood of the Chinese people. The Japanese have always been eating the blood of the Chinese people.

Is it necessary to respect such a country?

On the contrary, for such a country, we should find ways to hitchhike and use Japan's funds and technology to help our motherland become stronger.

In this way, we can achieve national rejuvenation and restore the original appearance of the world as soon as possible.

And we don't need to be grateful at all. This is all owed to us by the Japanese, and it is a debt that they should have compensated but have not paid back.

Ning Weimin even claimed that what he wanted to do most and was doing was this.

That’s why he came to Japan to open a store and buy trolley cases. In fact, he was trying his best to use his own advantages to earn more money from the Japanese and then give back to China.

At present, he has done quite well in Japan and has indeed made a lot of money.

However, how to distribute profits reasonably, whether he can seize the opportunities given by the times, and continue to strike while the iron is hot in Japan to expand the results.

However, due to the restrictions of certain people and certain systems in China, it has become an unknown problem.

He didn’t want the investors of Tan Palace to be content with a small fortune and use the money he earned to live in a corner of China and spend money.

He also didn’t want those hard-working employees to sweat and feel sad.

He didn’t want people in China to have a good impression and admiration for Japan because they saw its development, and forget the blood feud of the war.

But some things may not be dominated by him alone. Maybe he will be misunderstood as a new comprador who admires Japan. This is the source of part of his mental pressure.

In addition, some domestic situations he learned from Qiao Wanlin today also made him extremely unhappy.

The first thing is that the Beijing Enamel Factory has fewer overseas orders.

Cloisonné was originally an important industrial and fine product exported to Japan, and the Beijing Enamel Factory located in Licun is a key foreign exchange earning enterprise in Chongwen District.

But this year, not only did the Enamel Factory take less orders from Japan than in previous years, but many orders in the second half of the year were cancelled by Japanese customers, and many of them asked to change the contract and reduce the price.

After feedback from relevant departments and investigations, the news sent back to the district government was that the secret recipe and craftsmanship of the Enamel Factory had been leaked.

This is most likely the result of the frequent visits of Japanese delegations to the Enamel Factory in recent years.

Now that the Japanese have their own factories to produce, domestic cloisonné manufacturing companies have lost their monopoly advantage.

I think in the future, let alone making money from the Japanese, if things go wrong, the business of other Southeast Asian countries will be snatched away by the Japanese.

The second thing is even more hateful than the first one.

Just at the beginning of this month, after three years of preparation, the Beijing Amusement Park, which was built by the district government with Japanese capital, opened grandly.

All major newspapers in Beijing reported this event, and it became a trend in the city for a while.

Whether it was young men and women traveling together, young couples in love, or families with children, they all flocked to it and regarded the Beijing Amusement Park as their first choice for entertainment.

Even if the price of a ticket was as high as 20 yuan, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the citizens. The amusement park was crowded with guests every day, with an average of at least 30,000 to 40,000 passengers per day, and the daily ticket revenue was 1.8 million.

However, as the foreign partner of the amusement park, the Japan-China General Development Co., Ltd., which fully controls the management and operation rights of the amusement park, told the Chinese side that if the operation continued under such circumstances, it would definitely be a loss in the first year.

The reason they gave was that similar to the double-decker wooden horse, rock King Kong, magic arrow magic wheel, and stormy waves, each of these electric projects required an investment of millions of RMB, and had high power consumption, and the daily maintenance and care costs were extremely high.

In addition, the impact of the fluctuation of the Japanese yen exchange rate.

The Japanese company said that it would take more time for them to recover the initial investment of 2 billion yen.

So according to the agreement, the Japanese side will give priority to recovering the operating costs. They expect that the Chinese side will not get any dividends in the first year and can only wait until they recover the equipment costs.

In short, the Japanese are too mean in doing business, and they have the domestic officials under their control.

They cheat and cheat as much as they can, and their eating is too ugly.

Especially for Ning Weimin, this is undoubtedly a big joke of being tight in the front and tight in the back.

Even if he works hard to make money in Japan, he can't lose as much as he does in Beijing.

It is inevitable that there will be resentment that is intolerable and a feeling of depression...

In short, after learning about these things, Yao Peifang felt like she had taken an analysis class on the international community.

She didn't know how much of what Ning Weimin said to her was true and how much was subjective.

The things Ning Weimin cares about are too far from the lives of ordinary people. She can't say whether it is for things that have nothing to do with him, whining without illness, or worrying about nothing.

Moreover, Ning Weimin himself wants to marry a Japanese movie star. It is somewhat contradictory and funny to hear such words from such a person.

But putting all this aside, she really feels that even everything she sees with her own eyes can be interpreted in another way.

Moreover, the gap between people is indeed huge. Different people have different ways of thinking and even the content they pay attention to is different.

The fact is that the complexity of Ning Weimin's inner world and the height of his vision have far exceeded what she could have expected. This may be the difference in the nature of class.

In any case, Ning Weimin is much richer than he seems on the surface. His troubles make him seem less like a businessman who values ​​money. He is more humane and responsible.

If what Ning Weimin said is true, no, as long as most of it is true, then Yao Peifang will feel guilty for misunderstanding that he only cares about money.

People who can think of others will always appear more attractive.

People who can think of the country will always make people respect them.

Yao Peifang suddenly felt that she had great empathy and found that she seemed to be able to understand the pain of having to use money to get the support and trust of several investors in the Palace of the Altar to avoid things deviating from the benign track.

But some problems are beyond the control of personal ability. Even Ning Weimin is not very sure that the results of things will be as ideal as he expected. He can only do his best and leave it to fate.

She now thinks there is no need to remind Ning Weimin anything. He understands everything and is actually facing difficulties head-on.

She hopes that Ning Weimin will not become a tragic hero. She doesn't want to see good people get unlucky.
