After saying goodbye to Wu Qinghong, who insisted on coming to see him off, Cao Zhiqiang boarded the plane to Hong Kong with Lou Xiao'e, followed by Anping.

Yes, only Anping, the male secretary, followed, and there was no Xu Chun, the female secretary.

This is because during this period, this way of going abroad for business seems more normal, and it is often easy to be said that it is a waste of public money if one more unnecessary person goes out.

But that's not the main problem, the main problem is to avoid suspicion.

Because Xu Chun is also a young unmarried woman no matter what she says, she goes abroad with Cao Zhiqiang and Anping, two young men, all day long, and it is easy to gossip about it too many times.

It can't be helped, this is the atmosphere of this era.

And judging from the situation of going to Japan last time, in fact, it is enough for Cao Zhiqiang to follow one person, and it is even more inconvenient to have one more person, especially one more woman.

So this time, it's just that Anping follows Cao Zhiqiang, which is reasonable and convenient, and no one will doubt the combination of Cao Zhiqiang and Anping.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when the plane landed at Hong Kong Airport, under the reception of Lou Xiao'e's own brother, he took a car to a nearby hotel to rest.

Originally, Lou Xiao'e wanted Cao Zhiqiang to go to her house, but Cao Zhiqiang refused.

First, it's really inconvenient, and second, Cao Zhiqiang also knows that Lou Xiao'e doesn't really want to invite him to his home.

Because Lou Xiao'e is now alone with her children, but the children usually live in school, Lou Xiao'e's current home usually lives alone.

A woman, naturally, doesn't want a bunch of outsiders to come suddenly, and He Yuzhu is almost the same.

The reason why I want to stay in Hong Kong is mainly to prepare funds and contracts for Lou Xiao'e, and of course, a lawyer.

After all, it is a contract of 200,000 US dollars, which is not a small amount even in Hong Kong, so it is natural to take it seriously.

Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e came with a lawyer.

Later, under the witness of Hong Kong lawyers, Xu Chun and An Ping, Cao Zhiqiang and Lou Xiao'e both signed the share transfer contract and took a group photo.

The reason why it is so complicated is that there are no relevant laws and regulations in China at present, and everything is purely conscious, which is completely different from Hong Kong.

$200,000 is not a small amount, so Lou Xiao'e made it so complicated for the sake of insurance.

The share transfer contract is in triplicate, one for Cao Zhiqiang, one for Lou Xiao'e, and one for the lawyer.

Coupled with triplicate on-site group photos, if Cao Zhiqiang really defaults on his debts, these can be used as evidence, and then taken to China to fight a lawsuit.

With these evidences, as long as the background behind Cao Zhiqiang is not too rebellious, and he is determined to repay his debts, there is basically no problem.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang did not feel offended, but felt that it was normal.

After all, he told Lou Xiao'e that he had been neighbors, but this relationship was not safe.

So it's okay to be cautious and have no trouble with each other.

In fact, even in China, if you want to sign a contract, the private contract of the private sector is also counted, but at present, when the contract is generally negotiated in China, it will not specifically find a lawyer.

There is no way, firstly, the legal awareness in this area in China is still relatively scarce, and secondly, domestic lawyers are even more scarce, even if you want to find a lawyer, you can't find it.

Of course, with the continuous opening up and the gradual liberalization of the economy, the domestic lawyer industry will gradually prosper, but it will not be until the 90s that lawyers really begin to be recognized by domestic people.

In short, after signing the contract and taking the check, the sale of the share transfer is completed.

Since then, the restaurant Food for Heaven is not Cao Zhiqiang's, but most of the chefs and waiters in Food for Heaven actually listen to Cao Zhiqiang.

In other words, the shares that Lou Xiao'e bought are only equivalent to buying the signboard of Shiweitian, as well as the pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches and other production materials attached to this store, and even the people employed by Shiweitian, are not considered assets of Shiweitian, and even the house currently used by Shiweitian is not included in the shares.

In other words, let's not talk about the operating personnel of Shiweitian, ninety percent of them are people from Hongguang Machinery Factory, and let's just say that the house currently in use by Shiweitian is still Cao Zhiqiang's own.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang did this on purpose, but when he first talked about shares, everyone didn't mention the issue of housing.

Lou Xiao'e has always thought that the house she uses for food is rented, and in fact it is.

Because after Cao Zhiqiang bought the suite of Food for the Sky, in order to facilitate the settlement, he deliberately included the rent.

Therefore, judging from the accounts, the expenditure item of the restaurant is a rent item, and it has been paid for a year.

Although this rent is Cao Zhiqiang's left hand to right hand, and if you check carefully, you will also find that there is no specific lease contract, and it was only for the purpose of settling accounts that such an expenditure item was specially added.

But the problem is that Lou Xiao'e made up her mind too quickly, and she didn't investigate carefully at all, instinctively thinking that there was nothing wrong with this matter.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he didn't deliberately conceal it and didn't report it, he really forgot about it.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang usually has so many things to do, so busy, how can he have the time to think about these details.

Later, Lou Xiao'e really took over Shiweitian, and the accountant she sent checked the accounts, found this problem, and reported it to Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiao'e felt that she had been deceived.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e is also a reasonable person, and soon notified Cao Zhiqiang, after Cao Zhiqiang heard this problem, he didn't talk nonsense, first apologized to Lou Xiao'e, admitted his mistakes and negligence, and then simply sold the house to Lou Xiao'e at an ultra-low price of 80,000 RMB, which was the end of the matter.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang's house costs 80,000 yuan, which is really not expensive.

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't spend much money when he bought the suite, after all, Cao Zhiqiang also carried out some renovation and renovation in the later period, and also added facilities such as air conditioning.

What's more, the location of that house is really good, Cao Zhiqiang didn't open his mouth widely, as long as 80,000 yuan, he really didn't want much.

It is precisely because of this that Lou Xiao'e feels that Cao Zhiqiang is reliable, and the cooperation in the future will become more and more and more close.

Of course, that's all for later.

In any case, with Lou Xiao'e's check for 200,000 US dollars, plus Cao Zhiqiang's 30,000 US dollars exchanged in China, 230,000 US dollars, you can already live an easy life in Japan for a while, and even opening a company is not a problem.

The current dollar to the yen is 1 dollar to 240 yen, so 230,000 US dollars, which is more than 55 million yen, this amount in the current Japan, can definitely be regarded as the middle class, can buy a good house.

Even in today's Tokyo, the average house price is only 300,000 yen per square meter, and buying a 100-square-meter house is only 30 million yen.

Cao Zhiqiang went to Japan with more than 55 million yen, which is definitely a lot of money.

If it weren't for Cao Zhiqiang's special situation, and he came to Hong Kong first, and then gave a check in US dollars through Lou Xiao'e, normally speaking, Cao Zhiqiang, a mainlander, would not have been able to bring so much money from China to Japan, unless it was a formal trade of state-owned enterprises.

But Cao Zhiqiang went abroad for business to inspect the project, which is theoretically impossible to bring out so much money.

If you go abroad with an inspection project, you can approve 30,000 US dollars of foreign exchange to take it out, which is already a special approval.

Of course, this refers to Cao Zhiqiang's bright and free funds, not counting the $500 million check he carries with him.

Yes, this time he went to Japan, Cao Zhiqiang also brought a large check worth 500 million US dollars, which was the same as the check given by Lou Xiao'e, which was also from HSBC.

This is actually quite normal.

At present, all foreign countries that make large-scale account transactions with the mainland basically go through the HSBC bank in Hong Kong first, and then transfer from the HSBC bank to the mainland bank, and vice versa.

Therefore, at least in the current period, HSBC is still indispensable to the country.

However, the $500 million is public money, or rather, the money for the state to trade with the "fog".

Even in reality, the money still has to fall into Cao Zhiqiang's personal pocket, but at least nominally.

In other words, before Cao Zhiqiang cleared his name through various methods, he couldn't use the money casually, at least he didn't use it freely, and he had to set up a name.

All in all, after completing the "food for the sky" transaction with Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong, Cao Zhiqiang did not stay too long, and soon boarded a plane from Hong Kong to Japan with An Ping and went straight to Tokyo.

By the way, the aircraft security check during this period was really sloppy.

Cao Zhiqiang originally thought that the security check of domestic planes at this time was sloppy enough, but he didn't expect that the security check at Hong Kong Airport at this time was also very sloppy.

The security check at Tokyo Airport in Japan is also sloppy, and there is no bag opening inspection, and it is also through the security gate, as long as it does not ring.

Compared with the sloppy security checks, whether it is Hong Kong Airport or Tokyo Airport, the inspection of passports and visas and other documents is very strict, and they will carefully compare and observe self-study to make sure that they are correct before they are released.

But even though the inspection of documents is very strict, Cao Zhiqiang still feels a little incredible.

Because according to the level of security at Hong Kong airports and Tokyo airports, there are too many ways to circumvent the checks.

Although it is really difficult to bring metal objects, some illegal drugs and the like are actually easy to bring in.

It is no wonder that there were many airline crashes during this period, which seems to be related to the lax security checks.

Despite this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to get lucky.

If he can pass through the system space, he will never take it outside.

When Cao Zhiqiang and An Ping landed safely on the plane and walked into the waiting hall, they immediately saw Masashi Sada who picked up the plane.

That's right, this time only Sada Masashi came to pick up the airport, and Sada's younger siblings did not follow.

This is very much in line with the pragmatism of the Japanese people of this period.

After all, there are fewer people who come to pick up the airport, and the cost is less.

After leaving the airport, I took the subway first, then transferred to the bus, and finally walked a distance to the house rented by Cao Zhiqiang.

That's right, it's the house Cao Zhiqiang rented.

Because when Cao Zhiqiang came to Japan last time, he had already rented a one-family building near Masashi Sada's house.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang did this to avoid crowding.

After all, when Cao Zhiqiang came to Japan last time, he first borrowed Sada Masashi's house, and Sada's home is not big, and the three Sada's brothers and sisters lived, plus Cao Zhiqiang, An Ping and Xu Chun, it was really crowded.

So at that time, Cao Zhiqiang rented another apartment near Sada Masashi's house.

At this time, real estate transactions in Japan are very prosperous, and the procedures for renting a house are simple, even for foreigners, as long as they have a local Japanese guarantor and give enough deposit, it is very easy.

So when he came back this time, Cao Zhiqiang did not go directly to Sada Masashi's house, but took Anping directly to the house he rented.

This is also in line with the Japanese etiquette at this time, that is, if you are coming from afar, if you have your own place to live in the local area, try not to disturb your friends' houses.

After coming to Japan for the second time, Masashi Sada was very considerate and asked Cao Zhiqiang to rest first, and soon said goodbye, not staying to chat and fart.

It wasn't until ten o'clock for dinner that evening that Sada Masashi brought his younger siblings and a person that Cao Zhiqiang didn't expect to visit.

"Kyoko Koizumi? What are you doing here? ”

Yes, the girl in front of her, wearing a shirt and jeans, a pair of sneakers, and fresh short hair, is Kyoko Koizumi.

Seeing her appear, Cao Zhiqiang was very surprised.

"What? Don't you welcome me? Koizumi pouted and said angrily.

"How so." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiaoquan, you can come, of course I am very welcome, but my strange thing, I just came back today, and I haven't notified anyone else, how do you know that I have returned?" ”

Koizumi wrinkled her nose and snorted, then said, "Sister Reiko told me." ”

"Hey!" Reiko Sada next to her smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "Nei, Cao Sang, I'm sorry, today's son once invited me to a big meal, so I had to promise him that if you come back, I will notify her as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Reiko Sada lifted the Wagyu gift box in her hand: "Na, in order to apologize, I specially brought delicious beef this time, and we can eat Wagyu hot pot later, so I will make amends." ”

Yes, in the eighties, there were Wagyu gift boxes in Japan, and because Japanese Wagyu is expensive, it is indeed a high-end gift.

In Japan in the 80s, because of the rapid economic development, most of the people advocated extravagance, so many ordinary people apologized by bringing a box of expensive Wagyu gift boxes to the door to apologize.

Usually, when the apologized party sees the other party coming with an expensive Wagyu gift box, they will know that the other party has spent a lot of money and think that it is a sincere apology.

Of course, this kind of apology for giving a Wagyu gift box is generally played by Japanese middle-class families, and it is characteristic of the 80s.

After the 90s, especially in Japan after the bubble burst, these expensive customs gradually disappeared, but South Korea began to play this game again.

Coincidentally, Cao Zhiqiang also knows about this custom, so seeing that the other party is carrying a Wagyu gift box and even bringing sake, he knows that he can only choose to forgive, otherwise he will not give face.

How to say it, Cao Zhiqiang thinks that Japan's forcible apology has a kind of moral kidnapping of the other party, and even a bit of persecution.

Although I don't like this way very much, I follow the customs of the locals, and Cao Zhiqiang still has a request for the Sada Masashi family, and I don't want to make trouble with them, so I can only laugh and express that I don't care about it at all.

Of course, as far as Reiko Sada is concerned, her so-called apology is not honest at all, because she giggled the whole process, obviously thinking that she did the right thing to reveal the news to Kyoko Koizumi, and the so-called apology was just a joke.

As everyone knows, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang hates Reiko Sada very much, especially without Cao Zhiqiang's consent.

Even if the relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and Koizumi Kyoko is not ordinary, Reiko Sata, as an outsider, should not casually agree to the other party's request and disclose Cao Zhiqiang's whereabouts to the other party at will, which is impolite in Cao Zhiqiang's view.

But obviously, whether it's Reiko Sada or her two brothers, they don't think there's anything wrong with this, it's a problem in itself.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang secretly made up his mind, and when he had time, he chose to move and go to a place a little farther away from Sata's house.

Masashi Sada's fine, but his younger siblings, especially this one, are really too unpleasant.
