If you want to talk about the most prosperous city in Asia, even many people will vote for Tokyo.

Tokyo's GDP is close to the combination of the capital and the magic capital, which shows the wealth of the city.

The plane arrived at Tokyo International Airport, and Xie Jingyu began to handle various formalities.

The car sent by the hotel is already waiting in the VIP parking lot.

Xue Ningzhi still chose to come to Japan with Chen Dongcheng in the end, but she deliberately didn't talk much along the way, and Chen Dongcheng didn't break her careful thoughts.

"Boss, this is Aman Tokyo's General Manager, John Reid. ”

Xie Jingyu led a middle-aged man in a black suit with a warm smile over.

"Dear Mr. Chan, on behalf of Aman Tokyo, I would like to extend a great welcome to you, and trust us at Aman Tokyo to provide you with a perfect travel experience. ”

"I hope so. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded, he was very curious about Aman, a brand that is highly regarded in the outside world.

This time, I came to Tokyo to experience it and see if Aman's service is as good as it is on the Internet.

"Please follow me. ”

Reid smiled and turned sideways, explaining Aman Tokyo along the way.

It has to be said that it can be the only resort in the city under Aman's family.

Aman Tokyo's location is perfect.

Located in Japan's prestigious Otemachi financial district, it is bordered by the Tokyo Imperial Palace Garden on one side and the Ginza shopping district on the other.

The hotel is located on the 33rd-38th floors of the Otemachi Building.

Generally speaking, in Tokyo, where every inch of land is at a premium.

If you take six floors, you have to design at least one banquet hall and arrange a hundred rooms to make money.

But Aman Tokyo is a bit of a point of interest, not only did it not design the banquet hall.

The number of rooms in the hotel has also been cut quite a bit, leaving only 84 rooms.

The mere sacrificing profits and enhancing accommodation is admirable.

When you arrive at the hotel, take the elevator to the 32nd floor.

The design of the hotel lobby is the most shocking.

The lantern-shaped structure with a length of 40 meters and a width of 11 meters, with elegant lighting, makes people feel calm and amazed at the same time.

Layers of textured and washi paper extend through the six floors through a Japanese wooden frame.

At a glance, only the word shock can describe Chen Dongcheng's mood.

"This design is good, and it is also the work of a master in the industry, right?"

After Chen Dongcheng finished reading it, he asked Reed.

"It was designed by Mr. Hill, who has designed hotels for us six times, and is a master of interior design with Mr. Getty, and Aman Tokyo is also Mr. Hill's crowning work. ”

"A mountain-sealing work?"

Chen Dongcheng is a little sideways, which also means that Aman Tokyo is definitely Hill's brainchild.

Reed smiled and made an inviting gesture, and took Chen Dongcheng to the lounge area in the lobby to take a seat.

The rest area is also ingenious, surrounded by basalt walls, with a stone-walled design, and the rough mine is simple and simple.

Find a seat at random, there are not many people in the lobby lounge area, and there will be waiters passing through from time to time.

As soon as you snap your fingers a little, the meeting will come to you with a smile.

When checking in, in order to facilitate the record, the service staff directly kneels on one knee to record the information.

"All the information has been completed, please come with me Mr. Chen. ”

Reed smiled the whole time, I really don't know if the corners of his mouth will be sore, he should be quite tired from laughing like this.

When he got to the top floor, Reed didn't go in to bother again, but gave Chen Dongcheng a business card, and he could contact him for anything.

Just the right amount of service, not overly welcoming.

Chen Dongcheng's first experience at Aman was very satisfying.

Chen Dongcheng stayed in the Aman Suite, the most expensive one.

40,000 a night without tax, plus more than 50,000 per night plus tax.

The size of the Aman Suite is 157 square metres.

Don't be too small.

In Tokyo, where every inch of land is at a premium, or a luxurious location next to the Imperial Palace, this is already a super luxury house.

There are many hotels with room sizes of no more than 30 square meters.

Xue Ningzhi saw that Chen Dongcheng had prepared a separate room for herself, and while she felt a little at ease, she was inexplicably a little disappointed.

"Take a shower first, wait for a change of clothes, and then we'll go out for a walk. ”

Chen Dongcheng finished with a smile, then pushed open the door of the Aman suite and walked in.

Took a shower in the room and changed clothes.

Chen Dongcheng waited in the lobby on the 32nd floor for a while, and then saw Xue Ningzhi coming out of the elevator.

"Sister Xue!"

Chen Dongcheng shouted, and Xue Ningzhi immediately heard the sound and walked over.

Xue Ningzhi said apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay, men wait for women, it's right. ”

Chen Dongcheng smiled and waved his hand, and quietly added in his heart: "The premise is that you have to be good-looking." ”

Walking out of the building, the bustling scene of Tokyo is truly impressive.

Office workers in black suits and white shirts are always in a hurry.

Many elderly people in their fifties who have basically entered the state of retirement in China still carry their briefcases with a calm expression, which has become a special scenery in Tokyo.

"Tokyo is an interesting city. ”

Xue Ningzhi smiled and said: "If you are not in a hurry this time, I suggest that you experience more experiences, maybe you will like Japanese culture." ”

"There's a lot to do in Tokyo. ”

Chen Dongcheng glanced at the time and said with a smile: "You go to a place with me first." ”

"Good. ”

Xue Ningzhi didn't ask much, and got into the special car provided by the hotel with Chen Dongcheng and came to a building in the south of Shibuya District.

"It's here. ”

Chen Dongcheng stretched out his hand, intending to support Xue Ningzhi.

Xue Ningzhi didn't resist, put her hand in Chen Dongcheng's hand, and slowly got out of the car.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor of the building, Xue Ningzhi couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw the environment on this floor: "Here are people you know?"

"There are a few employees on this floor who are from my company. ”

"Oh. ”

After Chen Dongcheng looked at the environment on this floor, the smile on his face was gone.

Wandering around among the many partitions, I found two partitions.

"Chen Dong?!"

One of the employees, who was drinking water, saw Chen Dongcheng and sprayed it directly in the face of his colleague.

"It's me, you're hard to find a spot. ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded with a smile and asked, "Who of you is in charge?"

"It's me!"

One of them, a man in a somewhat greasy suit in his thirties, raised his hand.

Chen Dongcheng smiled at him and asked, "What's your name?"

The man in the suit replied: "My name is Jin Yang, from Guangdong Province." ”

Chen Dongcheng nodded: "Jin Yang, well, how many people are there in your team now?"

"There were eight people in total, two of whom had something to do and took a temporary leave of absence to go home. ”

Jin Yang introduced the rest of his team one by one so that they could get acquainted with each other in front of the boss.

"Since the headquarters plans to make all of Tik Tok's overseas teams adopt a localized approach, half of our team are locals, and the other half are elderly people who have studied and worked in Japan for many years. ”

After Chen Dongcheng understood the situation, he said with a smile: "You call and ask those two employees, if it is convenient, I will invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

"No problem, I'll contact them. ”

Jin Yang immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling the two employees.

Jin Yang asked again: "Chen Dong, they rushed over from home immediately, where do you think you are going to eat at night?"

"Let's take the Narrative Garden, which is closer to you. ”

"Okay, I'll let the two of them go directly to the Narrative Garden. ”

Jin Yang is no stranger to this place, sent the address of the hotel to the two employees, and then chatted with Chen Dongcheng about the situation in the Tokyo office of Tik Tok, the overseas version of Douyin.

Although the team is not large, there are only eight people in total, but the strength is still good.

It's just that Douyin hasn't completely decided to go overseas before, and its investment in overseas is not high.

This also led to Jin Yang having to find a way to reduce costs and choose such a co-working place.

Fortunately, although the environment is simple, their morale has not been affected.

Inside the two partitions, encouraging slogans such as "work hard, get promoted and raised" can be seen everywhere.

"Chen Dong, at present, our biggest problem is the lack of advertising investment, I don't know how much the group can invest overseas in the next step?"

After Jin Yang finished speaking, the other five employees also looked over.

Even if a few Japanese locals have experience studying in China before, they can still understand Chinese.

"Winning Y is just the first step for us to go to sea, and we have to count on you as the main force for the growth of Douyin's base in the future. ”

Chen Dongcheng said with a smile: "I have communicated with Mr. Hong, and I plan that in the next six months, Douyin's daily advertising budget will not be less than 20 million, of which overseas accounts for no less than 40%!"

"Great!"

"yes, we finally have money!"

After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, several employees were immediately excited.

The biggest problem that plagues their work is funding.

In the past, Douyin was bent on consolidating the domestic market, and its investment in China was also the largest, with foreign investment accounting for less than 10%.

Several overseas studios are generally free-range, and they belong to the kind that has no match.

Internet celebrities and celebrities who are a little famous are not interested in Tik Tok at all.

Even advertisers don't pay attention to a small platform with no name.

Without visibility, there is no profit channel.

Without a profit channel, it is impossible for headquarters to increase investment.

During that time, Jin Yang regretted jumping to Douyin rashly, and now he finally ushered in an opportunity for development.

"お母さん、小さな声で!"

Just when Jin Yang and the others were excited, many people next door were upset and scolded.

"すみません!" Jin Yang hurriedly apologized.

Chen Dongcheng pointed outside, and Jin Yang knowingly prepared things with a few subordinates.

The small one-story building was divided into several small partitions and rented out.

For Chen Dongcheng, this kind of office environment is simply a slap in the face.

Douyin has already secured the leading position of short videos in China, but overseas offices are so poor?

If it weren't for Chen Dongcheng's personal visit, he wouldn't have believed it.

After a while, Jin Yang and the others walked out.

"Tomorrow you don't have to do anything else, immediately find a clean and bright office, this kind of place, don't think about it in the future. ”

Chen Dongcheng took one last look at this floor and left without looking back.

Jin Yang glanced at several subordinates, and they all felt that the spring in their careers was coming!
