The one who came to pick up Qin Shiou and Butler was still Nishimura Ling.

I don't know what time he will arrive home last night, but today he still goes to work normally, and he is in good spirits, Qin Shiou has to admire the diligence and forbearance of the Japanese. Tokyo is said to be the most stress-resilient city in the world, and it seems that it is indeed worthy of its name.

Picking up the two at the door of the building, Nishimura Ling enthusiastically took the two into the president's office.

Qin Shiou remembered that Nishimura Ling was the assistant to the president, thinking that this position was very high, and he should also be messing around the president's office, but after he entered the president's office, he found that this was not the case, and Nishimura Ling went to the office of the personnel department.

Butler saw that he was a little curious and asked what was going on, Qin Shiou said for a moment, and said with a bearded smile: "When receiving externally, the employees of the personnel department can call themselves assistant to the president." ”

Qin Shiou nodded suddenly in realization, and said in a face-saving manner.

Needless to say, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. has a lot to say, but as you can see from the size of their president's office, it is remarkable that they can have an office of more than 100 square meters in Tokyo, where every inch of land is at a premium.

The office is decorated in a simple and elegant way, with stickers of rare fish such as bluefin tuna and American eel hanging on the walls, and a model of a fishing boat and a frame on the table that should contain photos of the president and his family. In addition, a corner of the office is deployed to look like a golf course, and it is clear that the president is an avid golf enthusiast.

When Qin Shiou and Butler entered the office, there was no one inside, but then someone pushed the door in, a middle-aged man of about 1.7 meters, with glasses on recent conditions, a slightly fat figure, and always a faint smile on his face.

See Qin Shiou and Butler. The middle-aged man bowed ninety degrees, then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello." Qin Sang, welcome to the Contemptible Company. I'm Takatsuka Kota, so please take care of me in the future. ”

Takatsuka Taka's English is very good, Qin Shiou praised him when he shook hands, and the latter smiled slightly: "It's an honor to get your compliment, I spent my college years in London, so I also put some effort into English." ”

After getting acquainted, Kota Tezuka personally made tea for the two, and after some complicated movements, he handed a small crystal cup to Qin Shiou. said: "The tea art is not fine, Qin Sang smiled." But this tea should be not bad, the best Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, please taste it. ”

usually has nothing to do in the villa, and Qin Shiou also learns to taste tea. Mao Weilong has a lot of good tea at home and in the unit, so I'll mail him some if I'm fine, and there is a box of Huangshan Maofeng in the gift that Winnie gave to Xicun Ling yesterday.

Qin Shiou took a sip and exclaimed: "The president is exquisite, this tea is really fragrant with osmanthus, if you enjoy it in the golden autumn season." That must be a beautiful thing. ”

Hearing him say this, Tezuka's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Qin Sang is really a friend with a lot of interest, if it is possible in autumn." Filial piety hopes that you can go to Tezuka's house as a guest, and let me make you a cup of Dahong Robe with my own hands. ”

Not to mention anything else, the Japanese have really achieved the ultimate in face-to-face etiquette. Tezuka Kota entertained Qin Shiou one by one, and he couldn't find fault with the problem at all.

Today's focus is on the big tuna. Tezuka Kota expressed his determination to take the fish, saying that even now everyone agreed not to speculate on the price of tuna. However, the fish is still expected to sell for more than $2 million.

The three of them chatted, and the theme had been around tuna, and soon it was noon, Takatsuka Kota invited Qin Shiou and Butler to have lunch together, and took them to visit Tsukiji Market in the afternoon, and the tuna auction would officially start the day after tomorrow.

Because noon is not the main meal, the meal that Takatsuka Kota invited them to eat was very simple, the location was in the company's cafeteria, Qin Shiou ate an authentic udon noodles with oden, which tasted very good.

In the afternoon, I visited the Tsukiji Market, and Qin Shiou learned about it before.

Located in Shinjuku 2-chome, the market is one of the central wholesale markets in Tokyo, covering an area of 230,000 square meters, and is divided into many areas to sell crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and various types of fish.

Of course, in addition to processing seafood, the market also has fruits and vegetables, chicken, eggs, pickles and a variety of processed foods. Tsukiji Market is the largest seafood market in Japan and the second largest farmers' market in Tokyo after Ota Market.

When you get to the entrance of the market, the first thing you see is a huge stone monument carved with the words 'とうきょうとちゅうおううろしうりしじょう', which has a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

Qin Shiou stretched out his hand and touched the stone stele, and Tezuka Kota said proudly: "Qin San, you are now in contact with the Edo period!" The words on this stele were carved by the most legendary hidden fish old man in the fish market at that time, and it has experienced many changes in this market, and it has seen the Great Kanto Earthquake, which is the symbol of this market! ”

Originally, Tsukiji Market was not located in Shinjuku Ward, but it was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the Tokyo government moved it here.

Tezuka Kota has a lot of face in Tsukiji Market, and after he got off the bus, everyone who came and went nodded to him, and when he walked in from the main entrance, a tall and burly man greeted him warmly, and laughed: "Kota, where have you been hiding recently?" I haven't seen you in a month, so make an appointment and we're going to have a drink! ”

Tezuka Kota nodded and said yes, then introduced Qin Shiou and said, "Today I am here to accompany a friend to visit our market, you go and get busy first." ”

The burly man showed a suddenly realized expression, bowed to Qin Shiou and Butler, and said welcome again and again.

Butler explained to him, "The Tsukiji Market is managed by eight wholesalers and about 1,000 middlemen, and Mr. Tezuka is one of the eight wholesalers. ”

Qin Shiou immediately praised Tezuka Kota, and at the same time doubts appeared in his heart, this Tezuka Kota is at least worth more than a billion dollars, he is a well-deserved big man in the seafood market, why is he so enthusiastic about himself?

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Qin Shiou doesn't believe that the Japanese will be hospitable to this kind of journey.

There are various stalls in Tsukiji Market, and many people are shopping, and Kota Tezuka said that there are many tourists from all over the world, and Tsukiji Market is now a good tourist attraction in Tokyo.

Following Takatsuka Kota, Qin Shiou went straight to the fish market.

On the outskirts of the fish market, the paper lanterns of Inari Shrine are lit up during the day, and most of the names of famous Japanese companies and seafood dealers are printed on the lanterns, and the name of Kiyomura Co., Ltd. is translated into Chinese, Japanese, English, French, and Russian and written on a single lantern.

One of the walls of the fish market has a lot of large posters on it, and one of them shows a photo of Takatsuka and a large bluefin tuna.

Qin Shiou went over to look at it, and there was an introduction on it, this is the first photo of the 2013 auction. At that time, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. auctioned a 220-kilogram king of fish, and the final price was 2.4 million US dollars! (To be continued......)
