At the end of the month, the book is coming to an end, and the new book has more than 700,000 words, which can be killed.
***************
Located in the southeastern part of Nagano Prefecture and north of Tokyo, on the foothills of Mount Asama, Karuizawa is home to some of Japan's most famous luxury villa districts and high society settlements.
Legend has it that it was here that the current emperor of Japan met his lifelong companion, and another famous person, John of the Beatles. When Lennon was still alive, he would spend a long vacation here with his Japanese wife every year.
Surrounded by the peaks of Mt. Asama, Mt. Nose and Mt. Usui Bingling, Karuizawa has a cool summer climate with lush larch and birch trees, a pleasant natural environment, and a wide plateau meadow in the central and southern regions, making it a great place to enjoy Mt. Asama, and there are many natural open-air hot springs in the north-central region.
Building a small villa in Karuizawa has always been the dream of many wealthy Japanese people, especially those who are rich in Tokyo.
The same is true for Ishikawa Nabu, who also hopes that he can buy a villa here and enjoy a good time.
As the president of the Three Emperors' Association, the largest gang in Tokyo, Ishikawa is actually not short of that money, with his current financial background, let alone buying a villa here, it is enough to buy two, ten buildings.
But the key thing is that his identity, his virtue, not to mention anything else, is that if he looks here, people will know that he is not a good person.
And the villas here live in high-ranking officials, not officials. It's the partisan politicians in Japan. Or the big boss of some big company.
He's mixed in here. It was completely a dog meat that couldn't come to the banquet, and maybe he would be looked down upon by others and ostracized everywhere, so he pondered again and again, and finally gave up this dream.
After all, after becoming the president of the Three Emperors Association, he also knew that it was better to keep a low profile in their business. If you don't keep a low profile, maybe you will offend some big man all of a sudden, and someone will slap you to death with a slap.
So he gave up the idea of buying a villa here, but although he can't buy a villa here, there are many holiday villas and small hotels here in Karuizawa Town, and he can come here for a vacation at any time.
And this time he brought Li Yifan to a resort hotel here, and today he chartered this place for him and Li Yifan to enjoy.
Li Yifan is also here for the first time, and I have to say that the environment of Karuizawa Town is really good. And, more crucially, the design used here is entirely Japanese-style. To put it bluntly, it is a traditional arabesque-like style.
Looking at the Chinese-style buildings with white walls and gray tiles, if it weren't for the lack of charm in taste, and the Japanese language that he heard was full of people, and the Japanese songs fluttering everywhere, Li Yifan really doubted that he had arrived at a nostalgic resort in China.
But then again, those resorts in China have more magnificence than here, but they lack the exquisite design and care here, and it can be seen that Japanese designers have spent a lot of effort on these buildings.
At this point, the Japanese are indeed much stronger than the Chinese, whether it is the metropolis or the countryside in China, everywhere is full of works of foreign designers, and the style of architecture is even more abandoning our own style in the past, without any characteristics.
Thinking of this, Li Yifan still felt a little sad, but soon he threw away those distracting thoughts in his mind and went to experience a Japanese hot spring intently.
Sure enough, it's not blowing, you must know that he also runs such a hot spring resort in his own family in China, but not to mention anything else, let's just say that in terms of the quality of this hot spring, the hot spring on his side is indeed not as good as the hot spring in Karuizawa Town.
Although the hot springs here smell of sulfur, they are the real thing, and they are not the same as the hot springs that they brought up from the crypt.
Moreover, people's bathing pools are better integrated into the design, which can be in the room or in the outdoor environment outside, but each pool is well integrated with the surrounding environment and does not appear abrupt.
From this point of view, the hot spring pool in the hot spring resort he runs is more like a bathing pool in a large bathhouse.
This is the gap, why don't you go back by yourself, why don't you also invite a few Japanese designers to your hot spring resort to have a look, help design it, and change it?
Li Yifan pondered, then smiled, and finally shook his head, that thought was just a thought.
Soon after soaking in the hot springs, Ishikawa was already waiting for him in the restaurant, and the group came from Tokyo, and it took more than two hours to take a car.
And Ishikawa also ordered people to make food early, and as soon as Li Yifan came out, the food began to come on one after another.
The amount of food made by Japanese people is not very large, but it is beautiful in appearance, and although the taste is light, it can make people have a long aftertaste.
Although it is not as good as the cuisine of our foodie country, it does have its own uniqueness, and Li Yifan, who came to relax on vacation this time, also enjoys this kind of Japanese cuisine.
Just when the two of them were eating and drinking, and they were having a good time, Li Yifan's phone suddenly rang, and when he took it over, it turned out to be a call from Mitsui Noriyo.
picked it up casually, and Mitsui Noriyo's deep voice came from there, and he asked Li Yifan where he was, and Li Yifan could only tell him his own location.
Mitsui spoke, then hung up the phone, and after about half an hour, Mitsui came to this club.
When Li Yifan saw Mitsui, he was a little surprised, in his impression, this young master, although he is a little unlearned, but he has always attached great importance to his appearance, and when he comes out to meet people, he will rarely be like now.
At this time, Mitsui Noriyo, although he was still wearing a suit, but the tie was not tied, the collar of the shirt on the upper body was very open, his face was red, he was full of alcohol, and he was even more straightforward when he spoke, scolding and scolding.
is worthy of being the young master of a big family, but he directly hired a helicopter and sent him from Tokyo to Karuizawa Town, no wonder the speed is so fast.
Li Yifan let people help him into the room, and came to the place where he and Ishikawa were eating, Mitsui Norya sat down, saw the wine jug on the left, grabbed it, and poured himself a mouthful.
After waiting for this guy, after taking a few sips, Li Yifan finally reached out and pressed the wine jug in his hand.
"Mr. Mitsui, what's going on, even if you have something on your mind, you don't need to borrow wine to drown your sorrows like this, right?"
Mitsui Zhiliang blushed, raised his head to look at Li Yifan, and after a while, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. James, I'm so sorry that I lost my temper, and I sincerely apologize to you for any inconvenience."
This guy, at this time, he was quite conscious enough, Li Yifan waved his hand.
"Forget it, tell me first, what the hell is going on with you? Say it, let's see if we can help you. ”
"Well, since Mr. James is so sincere, I have nothing to hide, and the business between us may be ruined."
Mitsui Zhiliang's words startled Li Yifan, what do I rely on, if you don't make a move, the shares of the dirham company in Lao Tzu's hands can only be thrown out directly in the market.
Seeing that Li Yifan didn't reply, but his face changed, Mitsui Noriyo's eyes flashed, and then continued.
"Mr. James, I really wanted to promote this cooperation, we had already agreed on the terms that day, but after I went back, I reported this cooperation with my father. Please forgive me for this, after all, the Mitsui chaebol is not my alone, and although my father is in charge now, there are still many people watching below, so we must be very careful with every step......"
"So Mr. Heinosuke Mitsui disagrees with our cooperation?"
Mitsui Zhiliang was stunned, and Li Yifan opened his mouth to ask.
"No, my father didn't directly refuse, he just said that he wanted me to give him time, he had to think about it, but it was another person, and he very much disapproved of our cooperation this time."
Although Mitsui did not say the name of that person, it can be seen from the hideous expression on his face when he mentioned the so-called person, that he hated that person to the core.
"Oh? Who is that person? ”
Li Yifan seemed to vaguely understand something, but he didn't expose it.
"That man's name is Mitsui Yukara, and he is a half-brother of mine, and he is an illegitimate child, an Yaga. I don't know what happened in the past few years, but I suddenly found my father, and my father still likes him very much, and over the years, he has often taken him with him, often taking him to the world to do business, and his opinion has a great influence on my father......"
Mitsui Noryo said this, even he felt a little weak, what does this mean, it is already very clear.
It seems that it should be that Mitsui Yukara suddenly appeared and won the favor of their old man, which has seriously threatened his position in the Mitsui chaebol.
Originally, if he didn't go on a business trip, he Mitsui Noyoshi should be the well-deserved successor of the future Mitsui chaebol, after all, such a home-based enterprise is very focused on inheritance.
And now there is suddenly an extra wild seed and a half-brother next to his father, which makes him feel that his position is threatened, so he found Li Yifan's head in a roundabout way, and wanted him to help think of a way, saying that it was a way, but what it meant was quite clear.
