Chapter Seventy-Three: Innate Skills

Julie definitely has her own unique secret to being able to mix up until now, that is, scheming.

Sympathize with your own history, care with Madoxbo, if you can't tie it tightly, you will retreat to the second, Chen Bo's heart is completely like a mirror. It's just that both sides have their own thoughts, and if one day she betrays him on matters of principle, there is enough chance to destroy her. In terms of tricks, the wisdom passed down by the Chinese for thousands of years is enough to be the ancestors of others.

Chen Bo finally agreed to be Madox's godfather, but he wanted to teach him to learn Chinese culture in the future, which of course had nothing to do with religion.

Because the Han people have never believed in God, do not believe in heaven, only believe in fate. The so-called faith is not as real as filling your stomach, you will pay attention to the gods and Buddhas when you are full of food and drink and idle, and when you really encounter something, you know that they don't use it at all, and you want to scold when you are not happy, and you don't see what these gods do to you, if the believers of other religions will never dare to have any disrespect for God.

As for his relationship with Julie, everything is business as usual, and her little hypocrisy is useless to Chen Bo.

After a leisurely weekend vacation, they parted ways again, one went back to the United States, and the other flew to Tokyo, but fortunately there was only a two-hour time difference, and there was not much discomfort.

Although Ant Japan does not have a connection with the headquarters in terms of normal management, the technology, brand and servers are all shared.

It's been half a year since Kenji Kasahara last came to Tokyo, and Kenji Kasahara has moved the company out of an old office building and into a brand new business building not far from Akihabara.

"Chen Sang, long time no see." When Kenji Kasahara saw Chen Bo, he warmly shook his hand.

"It's been a long time, Kasahara-san is getting more and more energetic, is there any peach blossom luck?" Chen Bo teased.

"What a thing!" Kenji Kasahara blushed and denied that he was a more introverted person, and if he didn't want to start a business, maybe he would be like more young Japanese people who took otaku culture to the extreme.

Although the number of employees has increased and new offices have been replaced, the overall layout is more traditional in the style of Japanese companies, combining technology and modern art with Pengcheng and Yanjing companies, emphasizing the decoration style of employees' creative inspiration, which is obviously more conservative here.

Because the Japanese are a conservative nation, from culture to industry, they like to do the ultimate in an industry, and they are not willing to try new elements on a large scale. Therefore, although Japan's economy is very developed and its population base is not small, compared to the boom in industrial manufacturing, it has not given birth to many well-known Internet companies.

Kenji Kasahara's thinking is relatively stable, focusing on two-dimensional young people, and the number of user registrations of mixi has exceeded 5 million, which is still very fast. After integrating Microphone Music, Fox Live and Ant Search, although the content is certainly not as comprehensive as Yahoo, the stickiness of users is gradually improving.

The layout of Ant Search has also been readjusted to suit Japanese reading habits, and there is almost no shadow of a foreign website, which is also the intention of Kenji Kasawara. Because it was handed over to him to operate independently, Chen Bo basically didn't interfere, but just communicated with him some ideas for future development for reference.

In addition, it is an additional $10 million capital injection, which is less than half a year, and it is not so quick to achieve profitability, but fortunately, the funds of the headquarters are not a problem, as long as it is not hundreds of millions of dollars in expenditure, it can still be taken out by gritting its teeth, not to mention that there are now low-interest bank loans guaranteed by the government can be used.

"The ambassador to Japan invites you to the embassy for a talk." After chatting with Kenji Kasawara, it was already evening, and according to Japanese custom, it was supposed to find an izakaya to have two drinks, and then go home with a few karaoke shouts. Alyssa clearly didn't intend for him to do so, but whispered in his ear.

Chen Bo could only refuse Kasahara's invitation first, and only when he walked out of the business building did he frown and said, "The ambassador is well-informed enough, why are you looking for me?" ”

"I'm just a messenger, you think it's my little report?" Alyssa replied with a choked voice.

"I can't guess who it is but you." Chen Bo said coldly, he was targeted as soon as he arrived in Tokyo, and he felt like a bird in a cage, no matter what the reason, he would always feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"I don't have that leisure, are you going or not?" Alyssa asked him as she stood next to the rented Toyota.

"Go, why don't you go, I'm going to see what medicine this ambassador sells." Chen Bo got into the car angrily and sat in the passenger seat.

The full name of the ambassador is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, who is assigned by the head of state to be responsible for the foreign affairs of a sovereign state, and the embassies of various countries in Tokyo are in the port area, close to Tokyo Bay. Just like the embassy district in Yenching, there are many different styles and there are many high-end communities and apartments.

From afar, you can see Tokyo Tower, the symbol of Minato Ward, once the world's first building, but it has long been yesterday's yellow flower, and the height of 326 meters even the Oriental Pearl TV Tower has surpassed it, but when it comes to Tokyo, no one can ignore its existence and become one with the city.

After going around and around, the car finally drove into an ordinary building about a dozen stories high, and Alyssa showed her ID before being let go, and the red flag hanging at the door indicated that this was the destination.

The car came to a steady halt in the small garden at the back of the building, followed Alyssa into the building, and knocked on the door of an office.

"You are Chen Bo, I've heard of you for a long time, and when I see you today, I feel that I'm old." A middle-aged man who was reading a newspaper in the room immediately stood up enthusiastically when he saw the visitor, his black hair was meticulously combed, he was wearing a well-dressed suit, his eyes were extremely sharp, and most importantly, he had an absolutely handsome face. "When I was excited, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Wang Yi, the new ambassador to Japan."

"Hello, Ambassador Wang." Chen Bo replied with a smile on his face, and the ambassador's outstretched hand was very forceful, not pretentious at all.

"You're welcome, sit down and eat together, I'll wait for you." Wang Yi casually took his arm and dragged him to the small round table in the room, only then did he notice that the food had been placed on the table, and Alyssa retreated in amusement and closed the door.

"What's so embarrassing?" Chen Bo said pretendedly.

"I called you over without eating, I'm sorry I'm right, this meal will be regarded as my reparation, what do you think?" Wang Yi's tone was amiable and majestic, making him unquestionable.

"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Chen Bo picked up the bowl and was not polite, it has been hot in Southeast Asia for the past few days, but he has tried a lot of local snacks, but this taste is not flattering, and now there are still red and gorgeous Sichuan dishes on the table, if it were not for politeness, it would have been a long time ago.

"This is the fresh vegetables grown by the embassy chefs in some open spaces, everything is good in Japan, but vegetables and fruits are too expensive, and they are still delicious to grow themselves."

Well, a few days ago, I just suggested to Julie to grow vegetables in the garden, and today I met the embassy that planted vegetables, and my love for the land is really worthy of the ancient country of agricultural civilization, which is definitely a natural skill.

"Well, that's good! There is a taste of hometown! "The chef of this embassy is still a faΓ§ade, and there is still nothing to say about the craftsmanship.

"Working outside all the year round, what I miss most is the water and soil of my hometown, although I don't have time to go back, but at least there is the taste of my hometown to meet the longing for my homeland." Wang Yi picked up a piece of boiled beef and sighed, "I was born in Japanese, and I have been a counselor here for five years, so I don't know much about Japan than I do." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Chen Bo knew that he had something to say, so he said.

"The Japanese are conservative and traditional. It is easy for a foreigner to get a job in the local area, but it is difficult to integrate into the society as a whole without being isolated. Especially in business, they have a strong confidence in their brand, and if they want to expand into this market, they have to spend time breaking down the barriers of cultural conflict and making friends with them, some of which can work in China, but they don't work here. ”

"Well, you're right."

"But you're doing a good job now, you didn't come in blindly, but chose a localization strategy, and let the Japanese who know Japan better run it."

"I'm ashamed, I'm just asking for a trick."

"Do you know how to play golf?" At this time, Wang Yi said again.

"A little." Chen Bo replied inexplicably, what does it mean that this ambassador has a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west?

"Tomorrow I will make an appointment with the person in charge of the Chinese Association to play ball, and introduce you to each other, you are all compatriots, so you have to help each other, and it is not easy for a lone hero to stand here."

Wang Yi talked for a long time and finally talked about some dry goods, there are about more than one million Chinese in Japan, because they are neighbors and natural immigrants, these can be developed into his financial resources, and the Chinese like to hold together, and there are many various associations.

"I heard that you have a branch in Southeast Asia in Kuala Lumpur?" Wang Yi said again.

"Yes, just came over there today." Chen Bo nodded.

"Why not Singapore?"

"Why Singapore!" Chen Bo was puzzled.

"Tell me what you think." Wang Yi gave him a meaningful look.

"Singapore has a good geographical location and a large Chinese population, but its international relations are leaning towards Western regimes. And local education has also been trying to de-sinicize, and the official languages are Malay and English. Moreover, a powerful government does not know when it will strike mines, and the affairs of Nanyang University are still vivid in my mind. ”

"You know a lot, but you've only scratched the surface. Chen Liuzhi is a successful businessman and a patriotic overseas Chinese, but his political sensitivity is a little worse. Wang Yi smiled.

"Is he still wrong?"

"He's right, Lee Kuan Yew isn't wrong, it's the time and the way that is wrong."

"I don't really understand."

"Then I'll make up a political education lesson with you." Wang Yi took a bowl of rice, took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said, "In the fifties, Southeast Asia was still a colony, and the wind of the independence movement was blowing all over the world, and Britain, which had experienced World War II, had no extra energy to continue to control Southeast Asia. The Federation of Malaysia, as a predominantly Muslim country, could not tolerate Singapore, a Chinese state, and several ethnic struggles broke out, and Singapore was kicked out when negotiations were fruitless. ”
