Chapter 83 Japanese Studies

The administrator of the liao must have a complete grasp of everyone's whereabouts. Which department do you study in, what time do you start work, what time do you leave work, what time do you have dinner, etc.

The men's and women's dormitories are far apart, and the place to eat, the men and the women are not the same place.

Entering and exiting the dormitory every day must be clocked in, and people like Scarface, who exercise every morning and evening, need to apply to the administrator and get the consent of the manager of his department.

In fact, this is the first few weeks, when everyone is not very familiar with each other, and they do not know each other very well about their living habits, so there are such strict requirements.

After a month, Scarface submits a schedule once a week, if there are any changes. Temporarily verbally notify the administrator of the liao, and there is no need to apply to the department manager.

However, the Japanese are very strict about the implementation of the regulations, and it is absolutely not okay if you do not submit the itinerary, and it is not okay to stay up all night and not ask for leave.

For example, Scarface normally needs to exercise from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening after eating.

He runs around a particularly famous lakeside lake in the local area, and it usually takes an hour and a half to run ten kilometers.

But when I reported it, Scarface came back at 12 o'clock in the evening to report, which is no problem.

However, if he says that he will not come back for other activities in the evening, then he must get a leave of absence signed by the head of the factory's quality department to pass it.

Otherwise, the news that Scarface didn't return all night the next day will be sued by the administrator of the liao to the quality department.

The place where Scarface is trained is Murata Furniture's production factory in Japan, in Habanme, a suburb of Hamamatsu City.

The company's headquarters is located in downtown Hamamatsu, where the main middle and high-level executives and various functional departments are located.

If you need to go to the headquarters or a supplier in a distant place one day, you may not be able to go back to the dormitory in the evening.

Then he had to hand over the leave slip signed by the head of the quality department to the administrator one day in advance.

Scarface goes around every weekend, and sometimes there is no guarantee that he will be able to go back in the evening, so he usually writes a leave note on Friday.

Indicate where you are going to play on Saturday and Sunday, how long, and where you need to stay, and let his leader approve it and hand it over to the administrator of Liao.

Sometimes he plans to leave, but the weather is bad the next day, or there are other things that have not been done, he asks the administrator to take back the leave slip. Wait for the time to be changed next Friday, and then ask the leader to sign and submit it after changing the time.

In short, no one will interfere with where you go, but you must let the leaders in your work and the administrators in your life know.

After all, you are in a foreign country, and once something happens, the problem will be very serious, and most of them need the intervention of the foreign affairs department to solve it.

A month after Scarface arrived in Japan, his Japanese level had reached the level of Japanese, and there were many Japanese colleagues and suppliers who didn't know about him, and he was actually Japanese.

It was only after talking a lot that I vaguely felt that I was different from Japanese young people in terms of pronunciation and use of trendy language.

In terms of the number of words, he even surpasses most Japanese people. This is not an exaggeration at all, and there are several Japanese who can memorize 1,500 pages of dictionaries.

So it's easy for Scarface to take leave, wherever he goes, there is no problem in communication, and generally nothing will happen. If the Japanese language skills are not good, the leaders generally do not approve of them, and they are afraid of taking responsibility.

For overseas trainees, the subsidy is 2,500 yen a day, but Scarface's subsidy for training in Japan is 7,500 yen a day, which was very high at the time, equivalent to about 600 yuan a day.

This is not because Scarface is special, but mainly because the Japanese side entered the information incorrectly. The subsidy of Scarface, calculated according to the standard of overseas business trips, can only be said that Scarface has a good life and picks up a bargain.

If you just live a normal life and do nothing, and eat in factories and dormitories, the actual cost per day is 500 yen, which is 40 yuan.

At that time, the exchange rate was 100 yen to 8 yuan, which was like saving 560 yuan a day. If you go out to eat by yourself, it will cost you 1,000-2,000 yen for a meal, so no one will go out to eat in order to save money.

Scarface eats a lot of food, and Japan is a very frugal country, and the amount of each meal is not very large.

Scarface needs to eat two meals per meal, which costs twice as much as others, and even then, it's 1,000 yen a day.

Whether it is in the factory canteen or in the canteen of Liao, there is basically no one pouring leftovers, and not even a grain of rice can be seen on the finished dinner plate.

From this small detail, it can be seen that Japan is a terrible country, and the quality of its citizens is really high.

In addition, the streets in Japan are very narrow, and the urban areas are basically two-lane roads, and the suburbs are completely single-lane.

In the countryside, there is an open space for parking spaces in front of each house, mainly so that there is a place to give way when the car is met.

No matter where he went, Scarface had never seen bare land, and as long as there was open space, it would be planted with grass, even if there was grass between some of the brick joints, so the air was particularly good.

Whether it's in the countryside or on a construction site, you can't see the sand at all, and sandstorms are a very unfamiliar word to most Japanese people.

If you say it, many people don't understand it, don't suspect that it's your own pronunciation or wording. Those who rarely watch international news, have not heard it, so they can't understand it.

In Japan, the cost of the service industry is very high, and if you follow the consumption of a normal person, 7,500 yen is basically the cost of three meals a day.

Sometimes it costs more than 1,000 yen to buy an apple, 500 yen for a cucumber or tomato, and rice and meat are several times or even dozens of times more expensive in China.

In supermarkets, the price of fruits and vegetables in the morning is more than five times different from that after 8 p.m. An apple costs 1,000 yen in the morning, and after 8 o'clock in the evening it becomes 200 yen, because they don't sell overnight things.

When Scarface wants to eat fruit, he goes to the supermarket after 8 o'clock in the evening to buy the processed ones, which are completely fresh in terms of quality.

But it's this rule, everyone is abiding by it, and no supermarket breaks this rule.

The Japanese have the strictest food safety requirements in the world, and the inspection standards for everything imported are the strictest.

Once a merchant cheats, no matter how big the company is, it can make you bankrupt overnight.

The handling of the relevant responsible persons is also very strict, so basically no one touches these bottom lines.

Of course, the improvement of quality also brings about an increase in price. The prices of Japanese ingredients are also ridiculously high, basically the highest in the world.

In addition to the food, what impressed Scarface was that Japanese haircuts are particularly expensive, about 2,000 yen per haircut, equivalent to 160 yuan.

Scarface has been in Japan for half a year and has only had two haircuts, the first time being less than a month after he first went to Japan.

The second time it took nearly three months to deal with it, and it turned out that in China it has always been about 20 days to sort it out.

The first thing I did when I returned home was to get a haircut, because I had been saving for more than two months.

Cigarettes are also expensive in Japan, and there are not as many varieties as in China. Scarface in Japan is basically based on the seven stars, and one box is 300 yen including tax.

Scarface doesn't smoke much, four or five cigarettes a day. Because I was on an international flight, I could only bring a maximum of two cigarettes, so I took two cigarettes with me before departing from China and smoked them for nearly three months.

Compared with China, the prices of Japanese electrical appliances, cosmetics, and brand-name clothing are much lower.

Adidas from head to toe, if you catch up with the discount, more than 10,000 yen will come down, which is basically half of the domestic price.

Cosmetics are even cheaper, and the same big international brands are two-thirds lower than domestic prices.

The large and small electrical appliances are even more cheap and good, which makes Scarface have a lot of options to buy gifts when he returns home.

In his daily work, if he can't return on the day he goes to the headquarters, it is calculated according to the business trip. The accommodation fee is reimbursed, and an additional 2,000 yen is provided for each meal.

In short, at that time, the Murata company was treated very well, Scarface studied in Japan for half a year, and finally came back, saving 60,000 yuan in subsidies alone.

He still eats double portions at every meal, and when he returned to China, he bought a lot of small gifts for Han Tingting, Sister Tan, and a few good colleagues and colleagues in the department.

Scarface started running officially in the second week of his arrival in Japan, and because of the extra energy, he couldn't burn it by studying alone, and he also developed the habit of sleeping naked.

I really can't stand the feeling of being restrained, and sleeping naked can relieve the feeling of swelling pain to a certain extent, and can allow me to sleep for half an hour more.

Scarface's training is significantly different from other overseas trainees, and everyone else has a detailed training plan with a dedicated teacher.

But Scarface was in the first week when he first arrived, and a Japanese inspector named Michiko Kato took him to understand the workflow and explain the key points of quality.

Later, like the Japanese staff, he was formally responsible for the inspection of certain materials and parts, as well as the management of suppliers.

It's just that he is in charge for a short period of time, and he changes a class of materials every month. After working in Japan for half a year, I changed five types of materials, which basically included all the materials and components of the Chinese factory.

Japanese people generally value experience, and they believe that a type of material and component cannot be fully understood without a few years or even more than ten years of hard work.

They are not used to this kind of practice of handing over work in a month, and they feel that they will not learn anything at all.

This is also one of the reasons why it is easy for Japan to produce masters in many industries, if they are in charge of a thing, they will study it for a lifetime, and after a long time, of course, they will be able to make some eyebrows.

However, for Scarface's training, Sasaki leads the quality department, and the given work plan is like this, and as an inspector of the factory, they can only carry it out.

But those who have handed over work with Scarface soon discover that the Chinese lad is just too good to learn and adapt.

As soon as the work is handed over, you can get started immediately, and you quickly become a journeyman. However, for the inspection work, there is no difficulty, and what tools are used to inspect what items are fixed.

The most important thing is to communicate with suppliers, which is difficult for some Japanese people.

Because the inspectors in Japanese factories are basically graduates of vocational colleges or junior colleges, they are not very outstanding in terms of communication skills and education level.

Scarface's language skills are no worse than theirs, and after two months of work, he became the best inspector in Japan.

This incident not only won the respect of Japanese colleagues, but the news was soon known by Nagano and Sasaki in China, and they were even more convinced of their ability to select people.

When Scarface was running around Lake Hamana, he could run into Japan's first teacher, Michiko Kato, from time to time.

Scarface runs ten kilometers, Michiko only runs three kilometers a day, and Scarface is also fast, so it's a simple hello when you meet.

Michiko, who is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, is said to have never married, and her parents live in Nagoya, and she now lives alone in a bachelor apartment near the factory.

is a little more than one meter five tall, very thin, and there are not a few taels of flesh on the body, that is, when wearing a tight running suit, you can see a small bulge in the chest, and the whole body is still a little fleshy on the buttocks.

The eyes are not big, the nose is small, the mouth is small, and the facial features are not particularly prominent, in short, she is a very ordinary-looking little Japanese woman.

However, this Japanese woman has a very cheerful personality, and every time she meets Scarface doing pre-run exercises, she will come over to chat with them.

By telling jokes and interesting Japanese customs, Scarface learns about folklore and improves his Japanese skills. Scarface will also tell her some things about China, and the two of them have become very good friends.

At the beginning, the running was a chance encounter, and after half a month, it became an appointment.

After Michiko finishes her predetermined amount, she waits for Scarface while doing other stretching exercises.

On weekends, sometimes I work as a tour guide for Scarface, and I go to the surrounding places to play together.

Scarface has been hungry since November, and has never smelled a femininity.

But since he came to Japan, the sudden change in the environment, and the strangeness and curiosity of a foreign country have somewhat diluted his needs in that regard.

When he came into contact with Michiko, he didn't see Michiko as a woman because of her appearance or figure. In those of his dreams, Michiko never appeared.

Only occasionally when I see Michiko's round and straight buttocks wrapped under her tight sweatpants will I instantly have a trace of desire, but it is only for a few minutes.

In mid-February, it was the Chinese New Year, and the Japanese factory was working normally. According to the company's regulations, Scarface can return to China to visit relatives once, and the company will reimburse the round-trip travel expenses.

But Scarface thought about it, and he came back alone, everyone was reunited, and he was alone, which was even more desolate. It's better to work in Japan, at least it's fulfilling.

At the end of March, the end of Japan's fiscal year, the heads of departments at each overseas base are coming back to report on their work.

Sasaki also came back for a week, and Scarface had a sense of excitement to see his loved ones.

The time when each Japanese person came back was still different, Sasaki and the head of the production department came back in early March and left in the middle of the year.

The Japanese in the purchasing department and the technical department came back in the middle of the year and left in the second half of the year.

Nagano's general manager and finance minister were the highlights, having returned in the last week of March.

This week is a management evaluation meeting for all overseas production sites, and each base is reported by the general manager and the head of the finance department.

To Scarface's surprise, the eldest cousin from China will also come over. He listened to Sasaki when he was having dinner with Sasaki at night.

Sasaki confirms his working hours with him, and then asks his superiors in the quality department to give Scarface a week's leave, because Nagano needs Scarface to be a translator for his eldest cousin for a week.
