Chapter 44: The Arrival of a New Year

When the sun was shining on the earth on January 1, 1995, in the luxurious suite of the Tokyo Hotel, which was large enough to accommodate several people, Kazuki Aso and Mitsuri Uda snuggled up to Fang Mingyuan's side like two cute kittens. Long cloud-like hair scattered over snow-white pillows.

When the sunlight coming in from the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window was falling, Fang Mingyuan opened his eyes, he first gasped involuntarily, and then his teeth changed his appearance, and there were bursts of soreness and numbness from his bones on his arms that had been pillowed all night, which was unbearable. Fang Mingyuan gently took his arm out from under the two NVs, and sighed in his heart, this blessing of Qi people is not so easy to enjoy. Last night's madness also came at a price. However, when his hands fell on the backs of two NVs again, the delicate and soft touch that is difficult to describe in words made him feel that it was worth paying more.

Although the night's fun made people feel tired, it also completely relaxed Fang Mingyuan's tense nerves. At this time, he leaned on his head like this, enjoying the bright sunlight outside the window and the pleasant and wonderful touch on his skin, but his mind had already flown out of the clouds.

It's been ninety-five years in the blink of an eye, and this year is both a busy year and a year of great harvest.

If nothing else, in the second half of this year, Microsoft's WIN95 will be launched, ending the history of ind relying on D to start, and will release browsers at the same time. Although as a consumer, there are naturally many opinions about Microsoft's monopoly position in computer systems in the future. Its operating system, there are many patches endlessly, and the hard disk occupied is also getting bigger and bigger. No amount of memory or hard disk seems to be enough to satisfy its voracious appetite.

But as an investor, a company like Microsoft is undoubtedly the most hode investment target. In the industry's unique position that no one can threaten, as well as its high software prices, coupled with the copyright protection of various countries, Microsoft is like a money printing machine that works day and night, and constantly earns countless amounts of money for its investors.

However, before Microsoft started and went public, Fang Mingyuan used his more than 10 years of knowledge and experience in the use of the system, as well as a large amount of money, and after Microsoft went public, he kept absorbing from the stock market, and stubbornly got 25% of the shares from Microsoft. Fang Mingyuan wanted to absorb more, but if he continued like this, his share of shares would threaten Bill and the others, so there was no need to make Jī, who could only lay golden eggs, feel panicked. Anyway, with 25 percent of the shares, Fang Mingyuan has also become an individual shareholder second only to the two founders of Microsoft. It's just that he, the shareholder, not only does the absolute majority of the company's employees not know, but even the board of directors rarely attends, and the other shareholders don't know either, and the vote is also authorized to Bill.

His style made Bill and the others completely relieved after the initial nervousness - Fang Mingyuan obviously had no intention of snatching the dominance of Microsoft, but just enjoyed the dividends of dividends.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan's investment in Microsoft is only known to a very small number of people. To be honest, Fang Mingyuan did have some expectations, when Microsoft stepped into the game console industry, what kind of expression would the management of Sony, which was attacked by Sega Co., Ltd. and Microsoft.

"Hey, it's a pity for the P series" Fang Mingyuan sighed lightly and said secretly in his heart. He used to own all the hosts in his previous life, but the creator made him stand on the opposite side of Sony in this life.

"What's the sigh, this way, are you still not satisfied?" came the voice of Uda Mitsuri with a bit of resentment in his ears. Fang Mingyuan noticed that he didn't know when, Uda Mitsuri and Aso Kazuki had already woken up.

"It can't be that you're dreaming about something, right?" asked Aso Katsuki, a little nervous.

According to Japanese custom, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Japanese call it "New Year's Eve", and on New Year's Eve, they pray to the gods to send away the troubled old year and usher in the beautiful New Year. At midnight, the temple bells ring in unison, to strike 108 times. Because the Japanese regard 108 as the number of happiness, 108 ringing the bell can also eliminate 108 demons, so as to drive away evil, the Japanese sit quietly (lean) and listen to the "night bell", the bell stops to mean the arrival of the new year. And they all went to sleep from their seats, hoping for a good night's sleep.

The next morning, the family would sit around and tell each other about the dreams they had on Chinese New Year's Eve to test the luck. The first dream on the first day of the new year is called 'Hatsuyume', and if you dream of any of 'Mt. Fuji, eggplant, treasure ship', it is a sign of good luck for the year. If you dream of birds, it is a sign that everything will be good for the coming year.

Fang Mingyuan scratched his head, to be honest, he was the last to be happy, he slept quite sweetly this night, and he had no dreams at all, but the Japanese attached great importance to this matter

When Fang Mingyuan was thinking about what kind of dream to make up, Aso Xiangyue had already mistakenly thought that Fang Mingyuan had indeed had a bad dream, and didn't want to say it, so he hugged his arm and said gently: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

She glanced at the sky outside and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, it's all at this time, Guangli, don't get up quickly."

"Xiangyue, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't let people sleep lazily" Uda Guangli hugged Fang Mingyuan's other arm and said coquettishly, "Or are you going to take Fang Jun home today to meet your parents-in-law?"

"Pop" Aso Xiangyue slapped her on the arm heavily, and raised her eyebrows, "Guangli, now Sister Lin and they are also in Japan, if we stay in the room all the time, what will they think?" And there are still many things to do today Fang Jun is celebrating the New Year in Japan for the first time, but we want to ensure that he has a happy New Year."

"Okay, okay," Uda Mitsuri sat up helplessly and stepped out of her dizzying upper body.

Hearing Aso Xiangyue say this, Fang Mingyuan, who was originally hugged and pasted by the two NVs left and right, and was angry at the toss, was embarrassed to rely on it anymore. I had to stretch out my hand, put my arm around the waist of the two NVs, and then jumped off.

When the three of them came out, as expected, Sister Lin Lian, and Chen Zhong had already gotten up When Lin Rong saw Fang Mingyuan, she made a grimace at him, stretched out her hand and scraped her face, Fang Mingyuan turned a blind eye, and didn't see it at all. Aso Kazuki and Uda Mitsuri couldn't help but feel a little fever on their cheeks.

Not long after this ass sat down, Miyamoto Orichi came to pay New Year's greetings, Fang Mingyuan can be regarded as his biggest financier, of course, he can't be lazy. He also brought two large suitcases, which were brought by the hotel's students.

"Miyamoto-kun, what is this?" Fang Mingyuan pointed at the two suitcases strangely, even if it is a gift, what kind of gift needs two large suitcases to hold?

Miyamoto folded a smile and opened the two suitcases, Fang Mingyuan looked at it, and it was all New Year's cards

"Fang Jun, these are all New Year's cards sent by your readers, and this is just a part of them," Miyamoto explained. In fact, over the years, every New Year, the magazine will receive a large number of New Year's cards sent by readers to their favorite authors. In the past, Fang Mingyuan was not in Japan, so Miyamoto Orichi naturally would not send him to Huaxia in a troubled manner. But this time, Fang Mingyuan happened to be in Tokyo, and Miyamoto Orifi chose some of them, and bringing them can be regarded as a New Year's gift.

Fang Mingyuan was relieved, this custom was also popular in the nineties in China, but everyone is used to sending it before New Year's Day.

"Why are there so many" Lin Rong looked at Masaichi Miyamoto in surprise. The total number of New Year's cards in these two suitcases is hundreds

"That's more?" Miyamoto Orichi said with a dumb smile, "The New Year's cards that Fang Jun has received are the largest among all the readers in the society, with a total of more than 10,000 copies, and I just selected some of them for Fang Jun to make a souvenir." Of course, if Fang Jun has time, he can select some readers from them and send back some New Year's cards, which can be regarded as contacting some feelings. ”

"Miyamoto-kun, why are the postmarks on these New Year's cards sent on January 1st? How early do you have to deliver them at the post office? And your post office is too efficient, right?" Lin Rong soon found something strange on the New Year's card.

Okuichi Miyamoto, Kazuki Aso, and Mitsuri Uda all laughed. On the eve of the New Year, familiar people want to give each other New Year's cards, and the post office has been busy accepting New Year's cards since December, but they only receive and do not send them, and they are all stamped with the postmark of January 1 and sent to each family on January 1. Therefore, every year before the New Year, the post office is piled up with New Year's cards, and the postal staff on New Year's Day is even more busy, and the people in the postal system like to call the first day of January "the highest point of the battle, if the Japanese really send New Year's cards today, the Japanese postal system is to double the manpower, and it is impossible to be busy."

Miyamoto didn't stay long, and there are still a lot of people he needs to visit today.

As soon as Miyamoto left, Aso Kazuki and Uda's mobile phones began to ring non-stop, and the two of them also kept greeting the New Year.

However, this did not affect the interest of Aso Kazuki and Mitsuri Uda in traveling today. The opportunity to spend the New Year in Japan with Fang Mingyuan is rare, and the two of them naturally will not miss it.

Next, according to Aso's arrangement, they will go to Sensoji Temple to worship the Buddha and pray for peace and good luck in the new year.

Sensoji Temple was founded in the 7th century AD, and the temple is officially known as Kinryuzan Sensoji Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, and is the oldest temple in Tokyo. It is said that in the 7th century, a local fisherman picked up a statue of Guanyin in the sea, and thought it was the manifestation of the Buddha, so the local people built a temple here to worship Guanyin. In the Edo period, Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu designated it as a prayer center for the shogunate, and Sensoji Temple flourished, and later became the center of Heian culture.

There are many famous buildings, historical sites, and sightseeing spots in Sensoji Temple. Every year around New Year's Day, pilgrims come to pay their respects, and it can be said that it is one of the most prosperous places in Japan. It is said that at its peak, millions of tourists come here during the New Year's holiday alone.

To be honest, for such a place, if it is not for another purpose, Fang Mingyuan is absolutely unwilling to join in the fun, depending on the number of people, as long as he looks at the temple fair in the capital for the New Year, he can completely experience it. Although the ancient architectural style of Japan is very similar to the style of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, it can be regarded as a reminiscence of the magnificent achievements of the ancestors from another perspective. However, because the Sensoji Temple is located in the city of Tokyo, during World War II, the Allied air raids on Tokyo caused many buildings in the Sensoji Temple to be burned down, and then rebuilt after the war using cement concrete reinforcement. Although it claims to be the oldest temple in Tokyo, many of its buildings are only a few decades old.

But his hesitation couldn't stand the unanimous opinion of the four NV people, so he could only nod his head in agreement. However, the person with the most headache is not him, but the security personnel led by Chen Zhong, in such a highly densely populated place, how to ensure Fang Mingyuan's personal safety without hindering their play, this is undoubtedly a difficult problem

The group soon came to the vicinity of Sensoji Temple, and when they arrived here, the vehicles were completely unable to enter, and the parking lot inside was already full of vehicles. The group could only get out of the car and walk to it.

The streets were already crowded with people, and as far as the eye could see, there were Japanese male NVs dressed up everywhere, happily walking towards Sensoji Temple. Fang Mingyuan looked a little big, he didn't like to be in a crowded place the most. Aso Kazuki and Uda Mitsuri, who were dressed in kimonos, saw Fang Mingyuan's difficulty, and the two of them were left and right, so they laughed and sandwiched Fang Mingyuan in the middle, pushing him into the flow of people.

Fang Mingyuan found that this was the same as visiting the temple fair in his previous life, once he entered the flow of people, the huge impetus of the flow of people would make you have to follow the flow, and it was not easy to stop. Soon, they came to the Daizen of Sensoji Temple, which is also known as Ray in Japan
