8 p.m., Koto-ku, Tokyo.

XIAO QI ATE A BOWL OF NIUJING RICE AT THE "SUKIYA" NEXT TO HIM, AND CASUALLY DEALT WITH DINNER.

So far, outside of the two factions of McDonald's and KFC in the United States, there are very few other fast-food chains that can open more than 100 chains, let alone spread all over the world.

But the Japanese still did it, and a beef and rice chain called "Yoshinoya" not only opened all over Asia, but also in Europe and the United States, and the business was quite good.

When it comes to the business philosophy inside, Xiao Qi doesn't understand it very well, but he also knows how difficult it is to do this.

McDonald's and KFC are a little better, anyway, as long as they taste exactly the same and unpalatable, but Ushii ...... Well, that is, beef rice bowls, but it requires a lot of craftsmanship, and it takes a lot of effort to become popular all over the world.

In his previous life, Xiao Qi had only heard of Niujing rice and was not interested, but today he came to taste it.

The taste can't be said to surprise him, but it is also decent, with a little sweetness, plus a little red ginger, which is suitable for most people's tastes.

At least occasionally, even those who eat spicy food in Sichuan will like it, not to mention that in fact, 80% of people on shijie don't like spicy food.

To say that the food culture of China is absolutely broad and profound, there are countless more than this beef rice bowl, but none of them can be made on a large scale.

You talk about hot pot, although it has also been opened on five continents, but they are all independent and cannot be regarded as chain development.

It's a little better abroad, there are strict monitoring standards, once something goes wrong, even if your dad is George W. Bush, it's useless, didn't you see that Nixon stepped down because of a Watergate scandal?

But the domestic ones are laughable.

As long as it is done on a scale. Then you must have started to engage in crooked ways, trying to use inferior ingredients as haode to cheat money.

In the final analysis, to be a food company is to be a conscience, and those people in China have become conscienceless over the years. How is it possible to make a haode industry?

Thinking back, Xiao Qi had already walked to a large mansion with beautiful English written on the door number, and there were five or six security guards standing at the door, looking in all directions with glasses, just like prison guards.

The mansion is not on a large street, but in a small street in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by many high-end izakayas, Western restaurants, etc., and the street lights are not bright, and it looks very elegant.

I saw Xiao Qi coming over. A security guard with headphones stepped forward, "Sir, I'm very sorry, we don't accept guests here today. ”

Several bodyguards behind him also subconsciously touched their waists, which were obviously armed with weapons.

Japan, like China, pays great attention to the control of guns, otherwise they would not dare to let the black. Legalization of gang associations -- the Yamaguchi-gumi of tens of thousands, the Inagawa-kai of tens of thousands, and the Sumiyoshikai of tens of thousands. Once you have a firearm, it's a lot of fun!

The few bodyguards in front of him were equipped with firearms. At least there is a gate.

"Someone asked me out." Xiao Qi confirmed the house number and said lightly in English.

"Are you...... Mr. Xiao? The security guard changed to an awkward accent of English.

"I'm Xiao Qi."

"Ah, hello Mr. Xiao, please come in...... Guests are already waiting for you inside! The security guard nodded and welcomed Xiao Qi in with a smile on his face.

As soon as Xiao Qi entered, several security guards immediately scattered even more. The lights at the door were getting dim and dim.

……

"Hey, Xiao Jianlang, did you get it?"

"It's filmed, but it's not very clear."

"How did you do that? When Jobs went in just now, you didn't even shoot it clearly. Now there's another one, and you can't shoot clearly, this camera and camera are the highest-end! ”

"Now the lighting is very poor, and I wear a lot of clothes in winter, of course my face can't be illuminated clearly, and it has nothing to do with the machine...... I said boss, you don't care so much, let's hurry up and go back with the tape and the photo, didn't the president say okay? It's in the news right away...... Haha, I didn't expect it to be Jobs, but we sent it this time! ”

"Stupid! Jobs' coming to Japan is very explosive news, but he came to Japan quietly? Weishenme quietly meets guests here in the dark? Who the hell is the guest who deserves the waiting...... Have you considered these questions? ”

"Huh? Do you have to think about these? ”

"So, you don't have much future in your life! I'm sure the second person is definitely the same as Steve Jobs, and the thing they came here to discuss must be a big deal! If we can dig this thing out, then it will be really developed! ”

"Boss, you're right! So what do we do? ”

"Wait, wait until they come out and get a picture of their front! You stay here first, I'll call some more people, dog. The group of security guards looked very fierce at first glance, and they had to make sure that the cameras and cameras were not snatched away. ”

"Good!"

……

A house in Tokyo, as long as it is a detached house with a first floor and a bottom floor, well, that is, the kind of house that the clanging cats have, will definitely not be something that ordinary people can live in.

For example, Xiao Qi is now walking in, there are pavilions and water pavilions, and the mansion has a history of hundreds of years at a glance, and most of them are the ancestral houses of the princes.

The Tokugawa family was very capable, and they liked to recruit the children and grandchildren of many princes to Tokyo for fun, and then put them back to accept hereditary positions from their fathers and grandparents when they reached adulthood.

A group of people who were taught to eat, drink, and have fun were of course no threat to the Tokugawa shogunate.

Because of this, there are many such spacious houses in the heart of Tokyo, but ordinary people don't know about them.

A beautiful young woman in her thirties wearing a kimono gently led Xiao Qi to a brightly lit room.

Although it was a Japanese-style room with sliding paper doors on both sides, Jobs did not sit cross-legged as is customary, but instead sat on a high bench and sat facing the water pavilion, chattering.

This clubhouse is not big, there are six rooms like this, but it is built around the water pavilion, which looks very quiet and elegant.

It's just that except for this room, which has the lights on, the other five rooms are all dark, and it is obvious that this place has been cleared for Qiao's gang leader.

Xiao Qi knew that the person who helped the Qiao gang leader was a person who was not at all close to the side with a calm heart, but such a person was actually a devout Buddhist, which was really contradictory.

Of course, Gang Leader Qiao himself is an extremely contradictory person, both in character and in life.

After the beautiful young woman sent Xiao Qi away, she left respectfully.

There were a bunch of fruits and snacks on the table, which looked very exquisite, and Xiao Qi was not polite, and sat down and tasted it slowly.

After a while, Jobs's phone call was finished, and with a frown, he squeezed out a smile on his face when he walked to Xiao Qi and sat down.

"Mr. Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" Jobs greeted casually, still habitually staring at Xiao Qi with a falcon's gaze, creating a sense of urgency.

The boy picked up the champagne and poured a glass for both of them, "It's okay!" STEPHEN, YOUR IPHONE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOT OF NOISE LATELY, AND I'D LIKE TO WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH! ”

JOBS WAS NOT AS SKINNY AS HE WAS LATER, BUT HIS FACE WAS PALE: "THE PRE-SALE OF THE IPHONE WILL START NEXT MONTH, AND THE FIRST BATCH OF SUPPLY IS EXPECTED TO REACH 3 MILLION UNITS, MR. XIAO THINKS IT WILL BE SOLD OUT IN A FEW DAYS?" ”

"You also have a pre-sale system?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.

"Well, your method has given me a lot of inspiration, the pre-sale system can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of customers, but also return funds early, which is much better than on-site sales." Jobs said unequivocally.

Xiao Qi's head was big for a while.

In the previous life, Apple's pre-sale system was only implemented in a few countries, why did it now become pre-sold from the beginning?

It seems that when I was reborn, many things have changed a lot. (To be continued......)
