After eating dinner, Kondo Masahiko didn't mind at all, gobbled up the food, moved his body slightly, picked up a book by Xu Ziming, and then, to Kanda Zhenghui, read: "Pursue excellence." ”

Kanda Masaki was amused by Kondo Masahiko's sudden words, and with the rice, laughter burst out, and he immediately stretched out his thumb and said, "Kondo-kun is really ambitious." ”

Kondo Masahiko was still a teenager at this time, after all, he was only nineteen years old at this time.

He ruffled his black hair and explained in a straightforward manner, "I'm talking about the title of the book." ”

Xu Ziming cleaned up the plates on the table, stood up, gently grabbed the book in Kondo's hand, and pulled it out.

He began to prepare to present his Japanese learning results, and said in Japanese: "The Pursuit of Excellence is a management book written by American management scholars Thomas Peters and Robert Waterman, which was published in the United States last year. ”

Then, suddenly realizing that he didn't speak enough Japanese, he began to explain in English: "The author believes that an excellent company is made up of the efforts of its ordinary employees, and that excellent companies do not have to be found in Japan, but also in the United States." ”

Kondo Masahiko didn't know how to pretend to understand, and wondered, "Why." ”

Xu Ziming explained: "The measure of whether a company is outstanding is whether it can continue to innovate. The so-called innovation here refers not only to the development of products and new services by creative employees that can be marketed, but also to the ability of a company to constantly adapt to its surroundings. As soon as customer tastes, government decrees, and the international trade environment change, the policies of these companies will also be adjusted and changed. ”

Kondo asked again, "Why?"

Kanda Masaki looked at Kondo Masahiko in disbelief, gently pushed his hand, and was dumbfounded: "Kondo-kun, you actually understand." ”

Xu Ziming glanced at Kondo Masahiko angrily, and said in his heart, you are a vegetable dregs, you don't understand, but you still pretend to understand.

The authors' research on these companies focuses on the seven elements of the organization designed by the McKinsey & Company Research Center: structure, system, style, people, technology, strategy, and shared values. The authors point out that great companies believe that thinking is more important than data, and that wisdom is far more important than rationality. The authors summarize the common characteristics of outstanding companies into eight aspects. ”

The two of them are not studying business, and for Xu Ziming's statement, it is like listening to the recitation. In other words, it is to play the piano to the cow.

But it was awe-inspiring to listen to, and it seemed to be quite tasteful.

Xu Ziming could also see the problem through the bitter gourd faces of the two, and then inserted some other topics, and a group of people chatted around the table in Japanese.

Xu Ziming is quite happy that he can put the Japanese he has learned into use and not waste his hard work.

He was talking about his affairs in Hong Kong in the past few years, because some words were described in Japanese, which could only be described approximately, not to mention that Xu Ziming's Japanese level was only the level of half a bucket of water, so the group of people were not very happy to hear it.

However, Kondo Masahiko talked about his career in the Japanese entertainment industry, since his debut, his feelings and cognition of the entertainment industry, and at the same time mentioned many fans in Japan many times, and like to see him and a female singer named Akina Nakamori as a screen couple.

Akina Nakamori is a Japanese singer who is not good in Japan as soon as he debuts this year. Akina Nakamori and Masahiko Kondo, an idol male singer at the time, were originally an on-screen couple who were arbitrarily paired by the media.

However, Kondo Masahiko complained that he and Akina Nakamori had not met each other, and they had no contact, and the Japanese entertainment industry was really nonsense.

Kanda Zhenghui just stuck out his tongue a little sullenly, but Xu Ziming was jealous in his heart, and joked in his heart: You are a scumbag of the century, the two of you will meet next year, and even because of your feelings, and even how cheeky you are behind you, you are scum.

However, Xu Ziming believes that although Kondo Masahiko is really not a thing emotionally, it is not a loss to be a friend.

After chatting for a while, Kondo Masahiko lifted his sleeves and began to look at his watch, he was ready to leave, but Xu Ziming was hospitable, and directly pulled the two to the house next door and invited the two to move in.

Due to the proximity to the final exams of Duke University, Xu Ziming had almost no classes at school, so during the few days that Kondo Masahiko traveled in the United States, he almost stayed at Xu Ziming's home. On the contrary, after staying for two days, Kanda Masaki hurriedly ended his trip and returned to Japan. However, the three of them did take a photo and keep each other as a souvenir.

Xu Ziming enjoyed listening to Kondo's J-POP while holding his textbook on the balcony.

This feeling is very similar to the feeling of swaying in the dusk wind, the beige little headphone lighting up and comforting, and the legs always dare not put in place.

Because there is no third party, Kondo Masahiko has completely regarded Xu Ziming as a brother, and as soon as he finished humming a tune, he walked towards Xu Ziming's position facing the balcony, "I'll leave tomorrow, will Zimingjun sing." ”

Xu Zi understood him and said with a smile: "I can't speak Japanese, but if you want me to sing, you don't necessarily understand." ”

Kondo Masahiko pretended to be surprised, clapped his palms, and said excitedly, "What song?"

Xu Ziming got up directly from the chair and hugged the textbook tightly, "Cantonese song, the name is "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que". ”

Xu Ziming snickered in his heart, I didn't expect it, the original song of this song is a classic representative of your "Red and White Song War" in Japan in the future.

Kondo Masahiko seemed to be a little "ignorant of life and death", and he had to compete with Xu Ziming with his own strength, Xu Ziming refused many times, but he actually had a somewhat ridiculous tone.

Xu Ziming glanced at him, and didn't want to make any more concessions, so he immediately made a gesture and said, "Compare with each other." ”

"No problem. ”

Kondo Masahiko directly opened the microphone and sang his album not long ago, "Love Hot ☆ Hot Wind せれなーで". Xu Ziming felt average when he heard it, and he probably didn't like the charm of this bell very much.

But after listening, he applauded him with some conscience.

Xu Ziming himself chose to sing "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", as many of his friends in Hong Kong said, his voice is very good, Tsui Hark said that he is not a singer, but he has the potential to be a singer, Xu Ziming knows that he is an out-and-out person without an album.

But Xu Ziming didn't know that in the days when he left Hong Kong, his Qianqianque songs were arranged by some composers in Hong Kong, and there were actually many cover versions, which were already popular in Hong Kong, but Xu Ziming didn't know this.

"Very nice. Kondo admired it very much, although he didn't understand the content of the Cantonese song, but he still understood the few words of English.

When the two were touting the place, Marisa took some study materials from her own house and handed them to Xu Ziming, and then patted him on the head out of the majesty of her mentor and advised: "Ming, study is very important, after this semester, you should use the vacation time to familiarize yourself with the current stock market in the United States." ”

Xu Ziming's major not only requires Xu Ziming to have requirements for administrative management, but even needs to take into account market changes, going to Wall Street is Marisa's proposal, and Xu Ziming has to write a thesis when he falls, which is a headache to think about.

Xu Ziming nodded politely to his tutor, learning is certain, otherwise it will not be worth the time to study in the United States.

Marissa is sometimes stern and sometimes gentle, which makes Kondo Masahiko particularly embarrassed.

Waiting for Marisa to go downstairs and go out, Kondo Masahiko spread his hands and smiled helplessly at Xu Ziming.

The next day, Kondo was leaving, and Xu Ziming took him to Raleigh's airport.

Due to the hurry, they accidentally missed their flight to Tokyo, so the two waited in the airport lobby.

Xu Ziming had just stood in the hall for two or three minutes when a teenage girl came over and asked tentatively in Cantonese: "You are Xu Ziming, the original singer of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que". ”

"Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is a parting song sung by Xu Ziming to a group of friends after leaving Hong Kong last year, because at that time, Xu Ziming was very affectionate and sang a particularly beautiful and touching song. It's just that he's curious about what's wrong with this song.

Xu Ziming shook his head and smiled: "You recognize the wrong person." ”

"Ah...... It's you, your voice is so magnetic, so beautiful!" The girl pointed at Xu Ziming and smiled, he had listened to it many times in the past six months, and even bought a lot of newspapers and periodicals about Xu Ziming in the past in order to pay attention to Xu Ziming, which poster of the God of Gambling made her appreciate the most. Suddenly, he shouted in another direction, "Sister, it's Xu Ziming, he's Xu Ziming!"

This shout didn't matter, but it attracted the attention of many people in the hall, and in an instant, seven or eight people came to ask for autographs.

Kondo Masahiko on the side was still laughing at Xu Ziming's embarrassment, but he was soon extremely unlucky to be recognized by some Japanese girls at the airport.

The two couldn't laugh or cry, they couldn't imagine that each other actually had fans in the United States, or that they didn't know how famous they were.

No way, Kondo Masahiko is the idol singer of many girls in Japan, and Xu Ziming once again won the hearts of girls in Hong Kong with a song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".

"Mr. Xu, are you coming to the airport to pick up your friends?"

"Mr. Xu, sign my name. ”

"Kondo-kun, are you here to travel to the United States? ”

“......”

Without paying attention, the two were snapped and photographed by some cameras, and several group photos were taken.

Xu Ziming felt that he had already known that he would not send Kondo Masahiko to the airport, which really made people laugh and cry.

was entangled by fans for more than ten minutes. Xu Ziming finally waited for the next flight, and after sending Kondo Masahiko on the plane, Xu Ziming hurriedly ran out of the airport and slipped away.

It's just that the photo of Xu Ziming and Kondo Masahiko at the airport has become an interesting thing for Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment and even Japanese entertainment in the future, and it is often taken out by fans and fans in later generations to talk about it.

One is the scumbag of the century, who deceived the Hong Kong diva and the Japanese diva. The other may also be a scumbag, and he is also liked and pursued by the two queens, but fortunately, the latter's feelings are hesitant but not abusive, and they do not hurt the hearts of the two queens.

So some people in later generations said that the photo of a scumbag and a good man is a stark contrast.
