Chapter Seventy-Six: Futures
"What? Let's go! Yahiko Ida said in surprise.
The front desk clerk at Koike Hotel nodded and said, "After you separated yesterday, these two Chinese guests checked out. ”
Yahiko Ida grabbed the front desk phone and dialed a number, yesterday he was supposed to accompany the two Chinese around the clock. It's just that he still has a mess in the company, and thinking that there will be no big problems for two Chinese, he will leave it alone for the time being.
Where did he think that only one day later, the person would be gone! Zhou Shuo's business visa is guaranteed by Microsoft, and if the sponsored person becomes a smuggler, maybe the board in the company will hit him on the head!
"Moximoxi, it's me the section chief, and I have something to report to you. The Chinese guests we picked up yesterday are gone, yes, they left the hotel on their own. ”
"Hey, I'll definitely try to find them."
"I'm sorry for your trouble!"
Yahiko Ida put down the phone in annoyance, grabbed his hair hatefully and read, "Damn, I'm not a detective, where can I go to find two big living people?" ”
"Uncle." A young woman behind Yahiko Ida tugged at his sleeve and said, "Can you ask the taxi driver, wasn't the taxi called by the hotel yesterday?" ”
"That's right!" Yahiko Ida slapped his forehead and said with relief: "It's worthy of being a top student of Todai, Honami is really capable!" ”
His niece, Honami Suzuki, was invited by him desperately. There is no way, there are too many things in the company, and it is simply unrealistic for him to keep an eye on Zhou Shuo's side all day long. had to let his niece replace him in the name of the tour guide. Who would have thought that they would not see each other for a day, and this kind of thing should happen.
After speaking, he turned his head and said forcefully to the front desk: "Hey, quickly find the taxi driver who was sitting in the two Chinese yesterday." If they do become stowaways, I'm going to complain to the tourist office about you! ”
The front desk lady was shocked when she heard that he was going to complain. Hurriedly bowed deeply and shouted, "Hi, I'm very sorry!" I'll look it up for you! ”
After looking for a while, the business of Koike Hotel was not so good, and finally I turned over the records.
A phone call from the hotel, the taxi driver rushed over.
"Hey, where did you drag those two Chinese yesterday?" Yahiko Ida asked menacingly.
The driver was fortunate to have some impressions of the two foreigners, and recalled that "the two of them went to the Ise Island Hotel. ”
"Ise Island Hotel?" Yahiko Ida asked incredulously, "That Isejima hotel in Sumida Ward?" ”
The driver thought for a moment and said confirmatively, "That's right, it's the Ise Island Hotel." ”
"It can't be!" Yahiko Ida jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail and said, "Those are two Chinese, you understand, right?" Chinese who can't even afford to eat meat will stay at the Ise Island Hotel? ”
The driver's white-gloved hand spread out and said innocently: "Anyway, I'm only responsible for pulling them there." ”
"Okay." Yahiko Ida said discouragedly: "Let's go to the Iseshima Hotel too, hurry, hurry." ”
Yahiko Ida and Honami Suzuki got into a taxi and sped away. When I arrived at the Ise Island Hotel, I grabbed the waiter and asked, "Did you receive two Chinese yesterday?" ”
"I'm sorry sir, we can't disclose guest information." The waiter replied respectfully.
"Bastard, you have to tell me, or I'll complain about you!" Ida Yahiko thought of the disappearance of the guest he was responsible for, and he couldn't help but grab him and said angrily.
"Sir, my work number is 95588, you can complain to the front desk, or call our complaint number 10010, and Hotel Ise Island will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." The waiter didn't fight back, let him hold himself, and said unhurriedly.
"Yaga!" Yahiko Ida let go of his hand in frustration, of course, this kind of complaint will not lead to anything.
"Hey, Ida-san, why are you here?" Zhou Shuo looked at Yahiko Ida who was standing at the door in surprise.
"Zhou-san?" Yahiko Ida wiped his eyes, but he didn't expect to see him at the Isejima Hotel: "I went to the Koike Hotel and didn't find you, but I heard the taxi driver say that you arrived here, so I came here." ”
Zhou Shuo scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Blame me, blame me, I'm really embarrassed." When I left yesterday, I forgot to leave your contact information. ”
"No, this is all due to my lack of care, please forgive me. Do you live here? Yahiko Ida asked with some hesitation.
"Hehe, it's more convenient to work here." Zhou Shuo nodded and said.
His words were vague, which made Yahiko Ida think to himself: It's probably just the lowest level of double rooms. These Chinese just like to slap their swollen faces and make fat people, and they see their faces bigger than the sky. It's a pity that Microsoft Japan has a heart, and I knew that it would be better to save the money for booking a room yesterday!
"What are you?" Yahiko Ida asked, looking at Zhou Shuo's wet hair and a casual sportswear.
"I just went for a swim, and the indoor swimming pool at the Iseshima Hotel is pretty good, so you can try it later."
Zhou Shuo sighed a little, it was too enjoyable to be able to swim in the indoor heated pool in winter.
"Ida San, if you're not busy, come up and have a cup of tea." Zhou Shuo took the towel from the waiter's hand and dried his hair.
"Oh, then I'll bother." Yahiko Ida bowed and said.
Zhou Shuo saw that the girl next to him also followed, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”
Yahiko Ida hurriedly pointed at her and introduced, "This is my sister's daughter, her name is Honami Suzuki." I brought her here to be a tour guide for Zhou Jun. ”
"Ida-san is too polite. So, how much does a guided tour cost? I'll just hire it. ”
"No, no, no, that's embarrassing." Yahiko Ida waved his hand again and again.
The waiter pressed the elevator button in front, and Zhou Shuo stood there waiting boredly. He turned around and looked at Honami Suzuki. The girl stood quietly while he was talking to her uncle, smiling and not speaking, but looking very self-satisfied.
Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said, "Then it's $200 a day, it's a little less, don't mind." ”
"Uh-" Ida nodded slowly, $200 was about the same as the average Japanese salary at the time. In 1995, when the yen had its highest exchange rate against the dollar, one dollar was equivalent to only 79 yen, and an average Japanese person had an income equivalent to four or five thousand dollars a month.
He originally thought that Zhou Shuo would just take out a few dozen dollars, whether it was interesting or not. However, $200 is already the price of a professional tour guide, and it is quite difficult to refuse.
The elevator door opened, and Zhou Shuo stepped in. The elevator lady smiled slightly when she saw him, and helped him press the floor without asking.
Garret? Yahiko Ida was secretly surprised, could it be to go to the restaurant above? Well, I was too embarrassed to take us back to the room, so I had to go to the top floor.
The elevator started quietly, and in a moment it reached the top floor. There was already a waiter standing at the elevator door waiting, and when he saw Zhou Shuo coming out, he led the way in front.
"Here?" Yahiko Ida asked in surprise as he looked at the golden gate at the end of the corridor.
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "Hehe, this is my room, Ida San, Miss Suzuki, please come in." ”
The waiter pushes the door open, and the spacious hall, exquisite design, and high-end decoration all reveal its identity.
"Presidential Suite?" Yahiko Ida looked at this large room of four or five hundred square meters, which has three large bedrooms, two small bedrooms, and more than ten rooms in the kitchen, dining room, bar, and study. Aside from the best presidential suite at the Ise Island Hotel, I'm afraid there is no second answer here.
This, Chinese can actually live in the presidential suite of the Ise Island Hotel? Yahiko Ida has some brains that can't turn around. Is there something wrong with this world? This is the Ise Island Hotel, and its presidential suite costs tens of thousands of dollars a night! I can't afford to live one night with a month's salary! These two Chinese are even richer than me, the Japanese?
Chinese can live on Ise Island, but do Japanese people want to sleep on Mt. Fuji?
"Mr. Ida, let's meet again." Wu Hao, who was watching TV in boredom, turned his head and greeted him in English.
"Hello, Mr. Wu Hao. This is my niece, Honami Suzuki. Yahiko Ida hurriedly and completely put away his sense of superiority and respectfully introduced it to Wu Hao.
"Welcome, Miss Honami." Wu Hao looked at this somewhat quiet woman curiously.
Honami smiled at him and nodded.
"Please be seated." Zhou Shuo saw that they had known each other, so he pointed to the spacious sofa in the living room and said.
He walked over to the bar and poured four cups of tea. The four of them sat down and exchanged a few words, and Zhou Shuo suddenly asked.
"Mr. Ida, I wonder how much you know about the securities market?"
"Securities market?" Yahiko Ida was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about this, but my niece is a student at Todai Business School, and I think she can give you some advice." ”
Zhou Shuo turned his head to look over and asked, "Miss Honami?" ”
"What does Mr. Zhou want to do in the securities market?" Honami Suzuki asked in plain English.
Zhou Shuo thought for a while and said, "Is there a company that can act as an agent for overseas investors to invest in Japanese futures?" ”
Honami didn't think about it, so he nodded confidently and said, "Of course, many agency companies are engaged in such business, what futures is Mr. Zhou going to buy?" Maybe I can give you some advice. ”
Zhou Shuo scratched his head and said, "I hope to buy some Nikkei 225 stock index futures." ”
Although Yahiko Ida does not understand securities, he also knows that the stock index futures of the road are bought by the rise and fall of a country's stock market. I couldn't help but ask proudly: "Is Zhou Sang also optimistic about our Japanese economy?" ”
Zhou Shuo shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'll buy it." ”
