From China to Japan, although it is said that the speed of the plane is faster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, the journey from Qingtai to Capital International Airport is a slow green train.

Taking a ship from Qingtai Port to Tokyo Port is slower than a plane, but it is more direct, and it only takes more than 10 hours in total.

The coastline is no longer endless, and land appears at the end of the horizon, with countless giant ships shuttling through the giant harbor.

Nick looked at the calm sea of Tokyo Port, and suddenly had the illusion that there was a huge Godzilla monster that would climb up from the bottom of the water.

Maybe when Godzilla destroys the city, an Ultraman will fall from the sky.

Nick's impression of Japan almost always comes from the "Ultraman" series of special films.

10,000 units of "Catch the Ball", together with the packaging box, have not yet filled a container. Nick went through the formalities first, and deposited the container containing "Catch" at the Port of Tokyo.

As with all ports, storage fees at the Port of Tokyo are not cheap, and they are even more expensive due to the high throughput.

Because it is charged by the day, Nick has to contact the people arranged by the Huaxia factory in Japan as soon as possible to find a warehouse to ship them away.

It was not Lao Liu's orphaned brother who came to greet Nick, but an old comrade-in-arms of Yu Tiecheng, named Polly, who was proficient in Chinese, Japanese, Chinese and English, and was now a military attache at the Chinese Embassy in Japan.

The diplomatic rank of military attaché is comparable to that of embassy counsellor. In the event of an emergency, the Ambassador may exercise the power of Temporary Acting Ambassador when he is no longer at the Embassy.

Standing outside, Polly, although he was wearing civilian clothes, the ability of the soldiers to show his identity still showed his identity.

Nick walked over when he saw his name on the white cardboard and said in a somewhat strange tone of Chinese, "Hello, I'm Nick." ”

Polly examined Nick from bottom to top to make sure that all the traits were correct, and said in English, "I'm Polly, and I'm in charge of sending you to the orphan Liu Jianhong." ”

The English he studied was an authentic British dialect, with some differences from the American intonation and diction. However, the difference is not big, roughly equivalent to the difference between Shaanxi-Western Mandarin and Tian-Tianjin Mandarin. We can understand each other, but we're both a little tired.

Silent all the way, the special license plate car under the butt is the sedan of the luxury car brand Crown under Toyoda of Japan.

The exterior looks new, with black mirror-painted paint reflecting the ever-changing complexity of light and shadow, making it look ......

Sitting on the miàn feels very stable, not bumpy at all, the parts that can be touched by fingers are all leather materials, and the feel is quite good.

Nick could drive, but never drove a comfortable car. His father, like most Americans, liked pickup trucks that could carry both cargo and people. Stepping on the accelerator, a miracle was made, and the power of the whole car burst out at once, like a mad mustang.

However, when Nick was in school, he found that more and more people were buying Japanese cars for new cars. I heard that Japanese cars are fuel-efficient, not prone to breakdowns, and cheap, and many people who are troublesome and do not have enough money prefer to buy Japanese cars.

From the periphery into the central city, the degree of prosperity has increased at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

However, despite the high-rise buildings, the road is narrow. It felt a little incongruous, and Nick didn't understand it a little, but when he saw the dense crowd and thought that Japan was an island country, he understood and was relieved.

Turn around and enter a one-way street where only one car is allowed to pass. Get off in front of a narrower alley where cars can't even get in.

Polly takes Nick into a place that resembles a ghetto.

Nick looked up at the clothes hanging on the clothesline, staggered and fluttering in the wind, looking at the debris that made the road narrower.

Tokyo, Japan's most prosperous metropolis, seems to be nothing more than that.

Even the richest countries have the poor, and the most prosperous cities have slums.

Naturalization, which is called naturalization, is basically a change of surname. Liu Jianhong's biological father's surname was Tu Feiyuan, so Liu Jianhong changed his name to Tu Feiyuan Jianhong.

Polly knocked on a low door, which opened, and six or seven people gathered in the small room.

Nick and Polly seemed to have a hard time turning around when they got into the QU again.

Using his British tone, Bo said, "These are all orphans who have returned to Japan, and psychologically, they basically identify themselves as Chinese."

Because, when they returned to Japan, they did not understand the language, and they were discriminated against, and they could not integrate into their families. You can only huddle together and engage in some low-end physical work.

Comrade Yu Tiecheng said that he had a way to change the current situation of these former compatriots. He sent you, and while you're in Japan, I'll be in charge of being your translator. ”

After listening to Polly's words, Nick nodded and said thank you, but he said word by word in Chinese, "Hello everyone, my name is Nick, and I will work with you next." We hope you will support us. ”

The orphans, led by Tu Fei Yuan Jianhong, have all received basic cultural education. If it weren't for the discrimination they were based on because of their status, given enough time and perseverance, they would have been able to live a good life in Japanese society.

However, there are no ifs in this world. Their diligence is cowardice in the eyes of their "Japanese compatriots", and their forbearance is cowardice in the eyes of their "Japanese compatriots".

From the Japanese school bullying, we can see some of the temperament of the Japanese.

In the end, it evolved to the point where even the most basic survival would be difficult if the orphans returned to Japan did not unite and huddle together.

Before they left China, they heard about Japan's wealth, development, and advancement. When they arrived, they found that it was indeed rich, developed, and advanced.

But all this has nothing to do with them.

They live at the bottom of the bustling metropolis, in dark, damp corners. It's like rats and cockroaches.

The huge gap makes them nostalgic for their life in China. It seems that there is their home, there is their ancestral country, although it is not rich, there are laughter and laughter, and there are relatives who greet each other with smiling faces.

Here, in Japan, relatives who should have blood thicker than water are even more indifferent than others, as if they were a burden and a disgrace.

Even, until now, Tu Fei Yuan Jianhong doesn't know where to open his door.

"Hello, my name is Liu Jianhong, this is Wang Lang, this is Qu Xiaobo, this is ......" Tu Fei Yuan Jianhong introduced the past one by one.

Nick nodded from time to time, listened to their introduction, and took out the Huaxia Factory's "Catch the Ball" from his pocket, and he said in Chinese, "This is the product we will be selling." It belongs to the family of gaming watches, called Catch, and is a video game console with an alarm clock and a display of the time. ”

After Nick finished speaking, Polly repeated what he had said smoothly.

Although they had been prepared for a long time, Liu Jianhong and his group still made a little noise.

In the 80s, represented by manufacturers such as Sony, Sharp, and Casio, the level of consumer electronics in Japan was very high.

"Will this work?" Liu Jianhong took the small "Catch" in Nick's hand and asked.

"If it works, you have to try it first. You've all seen the plan of the Huaxia factory, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Akihabara to see if anyone likes "Catching the Ball". Nick said in English, and Polly translated.

January 21, 1984, sleepless night.

Nick, who didn't have a good rest and sat on the steamer for more than ten hours, was busy until late at night with Kenhiro Dochido and others.

After a few hours, I returned to the port of Tokyo, took out 10,000 "Catch the Balls", and shipped them to the warehouse prepared by the orphans.

Nearly 20 days of preparation, in terms of Japanese orphans, I got the funds of the Huaxia factory and did a lot of things.

First, they registered a company, second, they rented a warehouse, and again they gathered some information on products similar to gaming watches.

Pigs! Pig! Island! Novel; Of course, Huaxia Factory did not expect these unfamiliar orphans to investigate much information. While collecting the orphans, Yu Tiecheng also commissioned Polly to conduct a detailed investigation.

In fact, there are some slight violations in this operation, which is suspected of private use of public weapons. However, this is not a problem, and reform and opening up has not only opened up the economy, but also opened up the mind. Many things that used to need to be put on the platform are now gone with one eye turned a blind eye.

Otherwise, how could the embassy in Japan get the crown limousine sponsored by Japanese businessmen.

Polly's investigative ability is much higher than that of the orphans. Based on the detailed information provided by Polly, Yu Tiecheng finally decided to enter the Japanese market.

Yu Tiecheng, who had made a decision, was still sighing with Li Zizhen, and said something that he was not very suitable, he said this, "Maybe Huaxia Factory is destined for good luck." ”

The reason why he said this is because the timing and conditions are just right.

In order to avoid the entry of foreign capital and disrupt the domestic market, Japan has a special regulation, that is, foreign capital in Japan can only establish a joint venture company to establish a company, and there must be a shareholder of Japanese nationality holding at least 50% of the shares. This requirement will not be lifted until three years after the company has been incorporated.

If you find a Japanese person at random, you don't know the roots, it will definitely make people very worried, but those orphans in Japan who know the roots can make people feel at ease.

This is human, and in addition to harmony, it seems that there is also the blessing of heaven.

The LCD panel production line of Huaxia factory is imported from Japan. It stands to reason that Japan has more advanced technology and a more mature market, and portable video game consoles such as game watches should have been born in Japan.

However, Japanese video game manufacturers are still wrestling in the arcade market. Manufacturers who have mastered LCD panel technology are focused on the field of electronic calculators. They are all competing for the already saturated red ocean market, the blue ocean market of portable video game consoles, but no one cares.

On the one hand, the interest in video games in Japan has been discovered, and on the other hand, there are not many competitors in the portable game console segment.

Even if the portable game consoles mentioned in the newspapers and periodicals have sold tens of thousands of units, it is because Japan is now in a golden age, and money is not money. These portable game consoles, due to their large size, are inconvenient to carry, and after the freshness, the follow-up is weak, and the players who have bought them are put at home to eat ashes, and those who have not bought them have been discouraged.

Orphans, people in Japan.

Blue ocean market, time of day.

Golden Age, Geographical Advantage.

Although the time, place, and conditions are all in place, Yu Tiecheng is not blindly optimistic, and is too optimistic about the performance of game watches in the Japanese market.

After all, the Japanese market is far from the Huaxia factory, and there is no local snake like Parkinson's who has been immersed in the local market for decades, and there are many risks that are unpredictable and uncontrollable.

However, on a cautious and optimistic side, gaming watches will at least not lose money in Japan. In addition, the sale of game watches in Japan is to a certain extent to help orphans who are living a hard life in Japan.

They have lived in China for half their lives and are basically Chinese. It is so inhumane to watch one's compatriots live miserably in Japan, and to do what they can, but not to help them.

The entry of gaming watches into the Japanese market is not because of the casual remarks and interest of the rest of your life. It's a deliberate act.

Labor costs in Japan are not low. One hundred "Catch the Ball" is a cardboard shell box, one box is carried at a time, and 10,000 units need to be carried 100 times. The six orphans and Nick, seven of them, took an hour to move them to the warehouse and put them in order.

By the time the transportation was finished, it was already dark.

After landing on the ship, Nick looked at Tokyo at four o'clock in the morning as if he had been beaten with chicken blood and said, "Let's go, let's go to Akihabara." ”

Polly, who had disappeared for a while at night, reappeared when Nick was about to leave for Akihabara. He changed his attire, got a mustache, and his behavior became a lot more lazy, without the ability of a soldier, and even his English-speaking accent changed from a British accent to a Texas red-necked taste.

If he hadn't revealed his identity to Nick, Nick wouldn't have known that the one in front of him and the one yesterday were the same person.

Nick was amazed slightly, but didn't ask why, he must have a reason for doing so.

The group drove a rented pickup truck, and when they arrived in Akihabara, it was already past five o'clock. All the shops on the street are open and ready to open.

Young guys, moving and placing goods inside and out. And the overseers who seem to be a little older are generally the bosses.

In 1984, Akihabara was still an electric town. The reason why it became an electric street is because after the war, the American GIs stationed in Japan liked to bring out some electronic components that were scarce in Japan at that time and sold them, and over time it became a prosperous and stable black market for electronic components.

Naturally, there were one electrical repair shop after another, electrical appliance sales shops, and even if the black market disappeared, this was already an electrical street.

Before it became an electric street, the main shops here were basically selling fruits. Before the electrical street, this is the fruit street. As for the fact that in a few decades it will become a street of anime, manga, and games, that's another story.

Nick saw a store in a good location, walked up in three steps and said in English, "Hello, I want to display my products here, please agree." ”

Polly translated Nick's words into Japanese.

The person who was accosted by Nick is called Sugizaki Keitaro, who is the owner of this Sugizaki Electric Company. He is already fifty years old, the good figure of his youth has left him, and his abdomen has a big bulge, and a pregnant woman who is seven months pregnant cannot compare to him.

He was yawning, and after listening to Polly's translation, he asked calmly, "What are your products?" ”

Nick hands "Catch" to Sugisaki.

Sugizaki looked at the plastic-shelled gadget, fiddled with it, and asked with a slight mockery, "This is your product?" You Americans are really getting more and more finished, although the price was expensive before, but the quality can still be compared with our Japanese goods. I didn't expect you to start making such inferior gadgets now. If you want to sell it, sell it, but I'm kind enough to tell you, don't cry if you can't sell it. ”

Looking at the swaggering Kentaro Sugisaki, after listening to Polly's translation, Nick almost laughed. Although, a few Japanese brands of electrical appliances such as Soni have reached the threshold of high-end. However, in the eyes of Americans, Japanese goods are still inferior products and the image of counterfeit goods. Most of the buyers are low- and middle-income people, and I really don't know where his confidence comes from. Perhaps, this is the rapid development of the country, resulting in the expansion of the people.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Nick said in sandwich Japanese.

Seeing Nick's attitude and hearing his broken Japanese, Boss Sugisaki's sense of national pride came spontaneously. When Nick and the others moved the table to set up, he also asked his subordinates to bring a pot of barley tea.

He used to leave the store after the store was set up in the morning, but today he also stayed in the store. Standing in the cash register, holding a cup of tea, watching the movements of Nick and the others outside.

It seems to be waiting for them to make a fool of themselves. (To be continued.) )
