New York's food culture has been influenced by immigrants in a very far way. There are more than 18,000 restaurants in New York City, with dishes such as Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, British, Greek, Moroccan, Chinese, Brazilian and Japanese.

The place where Shuichi Takeshita and Lu Kei met was in a Japanese-style clubhouse in the Whitman Building on Third Avenue in Manhattan's Central Side.

The lighting in the elegant walkway is slightly dim, and the whole clubhouse is silent because of the soundproofing. Occasionally, Japanese signs can be seen.

Lu Jing was led into an elegant room by a waiter in a crimson kimono. The room was very simple and the table collapsed. An elegant-looking middle-aged man sat on his knees.

Japanese culture is a celebration of tranquility and freshness. There are fewer home décor and embellishments. It is mainly practical and close to nature.

The waiter in the crimson kimono opened the door and stood respectfully aside. The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the collapse got up, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and shook hands with Lu Jing, "Mr. Lu, I take the liberty of inviting you to lunch." Thank you very much for coming. ”

In the social etiquette of high society, if it is not a visit or banquet between friends, it is necessary to send an invitation in advance and agree on a time and place to be considered appropriate.

Lu Jing shook hands with Shuichi Takeshita, and said with a free smile: "Mr. Takeshita is polite." I know Mr. Takeshita has something to talk to me about. As for me, I also happen to have something to communicate with Mr. Takeshita. It's good to cut out the red tape. ”

In his capacity, facing the world's first-class consortium. Shuichi Takeshita, the helmsman of the Asia-Pacific Foundation, is enough to stand up to the court.

What happened to Shuichi Takeshita about him, Lu Jing knew it.

Lu Jing's straightforwardness made Shuichi Takeshita smile slightly. politely invited Lu Jing to sit down and instructed the waiter to serve lunch in Japanese. He said, "Keiko, arrange a show and invite Miss Kiko to come over." ”

"Yes, President." The Japanese woman bowed down and said goodbye, and when she mentioned Kiko, she had a slight look of pride on her face.

Lu Jing smiled suddenly. Shuichi Takeshita smiled and introduced, "Mr. Lu, this hall is a place I use to entertain friends. ”

A moment later, several handsome Japanese girls who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old moved in with small steps with their dishes. Snow-white cloth socks called foot bags are stepped on the wooden floor, gently, without making a sound, and are clearly well trained.

Lu Jing has never been interested in Japanese cuisine, and he thinks about going back and eating something. Drinking the bland and tasteless sake, he said leisurely: "Mr. Takeshita, Murong Ze, I just punished him slightly, and he got a little carried away." ”

It's true that he hates the Japanese, but he won't offend people arrogantly in vain. That's not awesome. That's stupid. Yes, I will give a slight explanation for the detention of Murong Ze for three days.

Shuichi Takeshita was slightly stunned, he hadn't said anything about the purpose of his invitation to Lu Jing today, and Lu Jing took the initiative to bring up the topic. Then he smiled wryly and nodded, "I understand." ”

What kind of character Murong Ze is, he naturally knows it. He asked Murong Ze to convey his request to meet Lu Jing in New York. But he didn't expect him Murong Ze to make a mess of things.

It can be seen that Lu Jing's character is relatively strong. The negotiation style is sharp. As soon as he came up, he was given a stuffy stick.

At this time, the rakaki sitting in the corner of the wall hand. The slightly desolate music sounded, and five gorgeous dancers with thick white-pink faces slowly danced in. A dancing girl led by everyone is under the backdrop of everyone. The dance is agile and outstanding, showing a very high standard.

The Japanese flavor in the room gradually rises with the performance of Japanese geisha. Drinking sake, Shuichi Takeshita groaned for a while and asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of my Mandarin?" ”

Shuichi Takeshita spoke Chinese, which made Lu Jing slightly stunned, not knowing what Shuichi Takeshita meant, and said, "Mr. Takeshita, your Mandarin is very standard." Much more standard than the Japanese I speak. ”

It's not a compliment to Shuichi Takeshita, his Chinese is quite standard.

Shuichi Takeshita had a look of remembrance on his face, and did not mention the topic again, and drank a few glasses of sake with Lu Jing, enjoying the performance of the geisha in the house. At the end of the performance, Lu Jing applauded gently with Shuichi Takeshita.

After the geisha and musicians had withdrawn, Shuyi Takeshita said, "Mr. Lu, actually, I am half of Chinese ancestry. ”

Lu Jing's expression was shocked, this was really too unexpected for him. I couldn't help but look at Shuichi Takeshita.

For Americans, all Orientals have similar faces. However, Lu Jing feels that it is still very easy to distinguish between Chinese, Japanese and Koreans.

Shuichi Takeshita is about forty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an elegant temperament, wearing a light brown business suit and a cardigan. If you meet in China, it is easy to fall into the category of business celebrities.

Shuichi Takeshita smiled lightly, drank sake, and said slowly, "My grandfather was a student of the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he immigrated to Japan from Taiwan. My father and my mother fell in love at Waseda University. I am the crystallization of their love. My grandfather taught me Chinese, and I can still remember my grandfather teaching me to recite Feng Zhi's famous poem: the snake. ”

"My loneliness is a snake..."Shuichi Takeshita gently recited the famous passage of this modern poem, his face full of the color of memory, as if his mind was returning to his carefree childhood.

The lights were quiet, and Lu Jing listened quietly and tasted wine.

Every successful person is a person with a story.

Shuichi Takeshita is a Japanese who can make people feel good, and he is different from the Japanese entrepreneurs he has come into contact with, such as Kazuya Abe, Shunzhao Muto, and the children of chaebols such as Shio Matsusaka and Shizuka Nagai.

At this time, the dancing girl who went down just now changed into a casual costume and came in. Plain-faced, she is a woman with apricot eyes and a nose, and her eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful. She has a slender figure, wearing a translucent dress with blue and white flowers, and a shawl for her hair. The slender and rounded long legs are straight and can poke people's hearts.

As she approached, the white thong under the teal dress loomed at the base of her straight thighs. The charm is incomprehensible.

The beautiful and sexy dancing girl meekly knelt at the dining table and added wine to Lu Jing and Takeshita Shui. A faint fragrance came.

Shuichi Takeshita seemed to have just come to his senses, and said self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Lu." Sorry, I'm distracted. Punish yourself with a drink. He picked up his glass and took a drink.

Beauty is a little bit of wine. The atmosphere on the wine table was nice.

The topic went around in circles, and Shuichi Takeshita felt pretty much it. Preference for land views. And how could he not have studied? smiled and said: "Presumably Mr. Lu understands that Tang Group, Kangqiao Group and Asia-Pacific Consortium have some entanglements of interests. ”

Lu Jing put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "I heard about it." Tang Group and Kangqiao Group seem to want to redeem the 20% stake held by Tianjiao Fund," he learned about these situations from Tang Shijing.

Takeshita trimmed his head a little and sighed, "Yes." The unreasonable distribution mechanism within the Asia-Pacific Group led to the separation of the Tang Group and the Kangqiao Group. From the perspective of the Asia-Pacific Group, I do not want the Tang Group and the Kangqiao Group to be separated. I know that Mr. Lu and Tang Group work closely together, and I hope Mr. Lu can understand my difficulties. ”

How to understand Shuichi Takeshita's difficulties? Lu Jing's understanding is that Shuichi Takeshita is warning him not to interfere in this matter. After thinking about it, he persuaded: "Mr. Takeshita, since you are familiar with Chinese culture, you should have heard a saying: a twisted melon is not sweet." ”

Shuichi Takeshita: "So." I need to allocate more benefits to Tang Group and Kangqiao Group to make up for the gap between the two sides. However, this takes time. Hehe, don't talk about that, Mr. Lu, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. ”

Lu Jing smiled. Shuichi Takeshita is a person who is implicit but not revealed, and he stops at the point, and he has the demeanor of a consortium leader. Extraordinary indeed. "I think we'll have a chance to work together." Lu Jing raised his glass and touched the glass with Shuichi Takeshita.

Shuichi Takeshita smiled elegantly. Lu Jing's answer didn't match the information he had gathered. According to the information, Lu Jing has a strong personality and would rather bend than bend. Now it seems that Lu Jing is not a person who does not know how to be flexible.

The dancing girl leaned over and poured wine on the two of them. Shuichi Takeshita smiled gently. said: "Mr. Lu, are you interested in becoming a funder of Xizi?" Her singing and dancing level is also among the top 10 in Japan. ”

Lu Jing laughed and waved his hand, "Don't let Mr. Takeshita cut his love." ”

He knows a little about the Japanese geisha industry. It seems that geisha are not allowed to accompany customers, otherwise they will be expelled from the entire industry. However, she can accompany her patrons to sleep.

Lu Jing has no prejudice against Japanese women. It's just that. The woman sent by Shuichi Takeshita, he thanked Bumin. Who can guarantee that she is not a spy?

Shuichi Takeshita seems to have just mentioned it casually and didn't talk about it again. Meal. Shuichi Takeshita sent Lu Jing to the door of the room and came back. Kneel on the tatami mat and close your eyes. Tetsuji Fukada, the assistant who took the place of Shuichi Takeshita to send off the guest, came in, "President, Mr. Lu is already gone..."

Shuichi Takeshita opened his eyes and ordered, "Kiko, you go out first." ”

"Okay." Kiko timidly replied and got up to leave. There was no reaction to Shuichi Takeshita's intention to give her away just now.

Tetsuji Fukada stared at Matsushima's back from the corner of his eyes, and secretly swallowed saliva in his heart. The white, round ankles disappeared from view. If he could spend the night with her, he would have to lick her cute sparkling toes.

The sound of the wooden door closing interrupted Tetsuji Fukada's obscenity, and his mind returned to work, and he said without saying anything, "President..."

Shuichi Takeshita shook his head gently, "Fukada, needless to say, I know." ”

The atmosphere of the dinner just now was very harmonious. The signal given by Lu Jing is also very kind. However, through this contact, he realized that Lu Jing was very likely to clash with him in the future.

He doesn't believe in the jungle and winner-takes-all. It's a win-win business concept.

In fact, Murong Ze's willingness to cross the shareholding with Hehua to Lu Jing was also his idea.

Who doesn't cross-stake in a modern consortium? This is conducive to the coordination of resources and win-win cooperation. It's a pity that Lu Jing refused.

I am afraid that the contradictions between the Asia-Pacific consortium and Hehua will become irreconcilable in the continuous business competition.
