Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

In November, the weather in Tokyo has gradually become colder.

A few red maple trees along Motomabu Street in the Minato District are smudged with their fiery red wantonly.

Behind several maple trees, there is a majestic building made of gray and white rocks.

This is a noisy neighborhood, but this place is much more solemn and solemn.

Hum~, the low engine sound gradually faded away.

A black Toyota Century slowly stopped under the dusty stone steps.

Click, Bai Chuanfeng, who was wearing a dark windbreaker, got out of the car slowly from the back row.

Yuko Tanaka, who also had a fur shawl, also came to Bai Chuanfeng's side after the driver opened the door, and naturally took his arm.

"It looks really grand."

"That's right, but it's an embassy after all, so it should be stylish."

Bai Chuanfeng withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and turned to walk inside hand in hand with Yuko Tanaka.

The place where they came today is the Chinese embassy in Tokyo, located in Azabu Juban in the bustling port area.

In addition to Huaxia, there are many embassies of other countries in this area.

As for why Bai Chuanfeng came here, of course he came to pick up the goods.

Since I squandered 400,000 US dollars at the Expo in March, now half a year has passed and I finally received a letter from the other side of the sea.

Originally, Bai Chuanfeng left the business card in order to wait for them to send someone to pick it up after everything was settled.

After all, Huaxia has not opened an international postal service these years, let alone free shipping.

But for the sake of Bai Chuanfeng's 400,000 US dollars, the other side specially delivered the goods to Neon Tokyo.

As for who brought the things here, don't you see that this is the place.

"Hello, we have an appointment with Mr. Zhang."

Arriving at the reception, Bai Chuanfeng smiled and handed over his business card.

The receptionist in uniform on the opposite side, after seeing Bai Chuanfeng's business card clearly, his eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

"Mr. Bai Chuan, please come with me. Ambassador Zhang has already explained. You can see him directly when you come, no appointment required."

"Mr. Zhang is too polite." Bai Chuanfeng smiled and nodded.

Soon under the leadership of the staff, Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko were ushered into a conference room.

Just two minutes after sitting down, an old man in a black suit who looked nearly sixty years old walked into the conference room quickly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai Chuan, for keeping you waiting."

"It's my scumbag, I'm causing you trouble."

The visitor spoke fluent Japanese, which made Bai Chuanfeng and Tanaka Yuko feel a sense of intimacy for no reason.

He is Mr. Zhang Han, the current Chinese ambassador to Japan, and after hearing that Bai Chuanfeng and the others are coming.

Ambassador Zhang immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

"I heard that Mr. Bai Chuan loves jade very much, so as soon as the commission was completed in China, he immediately sent someone to send it over."

Speaking of which, Ambassador Zhang has already taken over an antique and exquisite wooden box from the assistant behind him.

"Mr. Bai Chuan, please take a look. I wonder if this is to your liking?"

The wooden box was gently opened, and then slowly pushed in front of Bai Chuanfeng.

All suet white jade, twelve jade pendants, and two finger rings were neatly arranged in the wooden box.

At the beginning, Bai Chuanfeng only briefly talked about what he wanted to do.

But when he saw the jade objects in front of him, he was really amazed.

Not only him, but the eyes of Yuko Tanaka who was sitting next to him were shining like stars.

It was the first time that Bai Chuanfeng saw her who was gentle and quiet, yet she would show longing for something.

These works of art are like jade, no! They are above art!

The picture and the real thing really can't be compared, just the faint charm made Bai Chuanfeng hold his breath subconsciously.

He didn't even have the heart to break this artistic conception, but driven by instinct, Bai Chuanfeng still stretched out his hand cautiously and took out a white jade.

Warm and delicate, white and flawless.

The word "Chuan" in bird seal script is cleverly placed in the middle of the white jade.

Just the streamlined Chinese characters made Bai Chuanfeng feel the beauty of calligraphy.

What's even better is that in the upper right corner of the word "Chuan", a lifelike maple tree is carved out with just a few strokes.

A few maple leaves fall around the river. On the further side are some decorative carvings, which make the whole jade pendant more natural and harmonious.

Beautiful jade has light, gentle but not dazzling.

Even if Bai Chuanfeng didn't understand jade, he knew that it was definitely a rare treasure.

And the pair of fingers, except for the family crest that Bai Chuanfeng explained.

The sculptor also took advantage of the rare vermilion lines to carve out the auspicious cloud and dragon patterns.

On the other hand, the other finger has the pattern of tung branch and phoenix.

Phew~, after looking at it for a long time, Bai Chuanfeng finally exhaled cautiously.

Peerless elegance, pleasing to the eye!

"How about it, did you not disappoint Mr. Bai Chuan?"

After waiting for him to finish, Ambassador Zhang asked in a warm voice with a smile.

"This thing should only exist in the sky!" Bai Chuanfeng replied directly with Du Fu's poem.

Ambassador Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard his authentic Mandarin and the rhythm of the poems implied in his words.

It is not uncommon for foreigners to speak Chinese, but it is not something ordinary people can do to recite poems from ancient Chinese culture with great rhythm.

The most important thing is that the pure accent, and the subconscious blurting out, is what makes Ambassador Zhang most concerned.

It seems that this Mr. Bai Chuan has provided more information than before, and it is not just as simple as being able to speak Chinese.

Putting his mind down, Ambassador Zhang continued to discuss these jade articles with Bai Chuanfeng.

"As long as Mr. Bai Chuan is satisfied, according to your request, in order to prevent counterfeiting.

There are unique marks under the branches and leaves of the maple tree, please see here. "

Following his guidance, Bai Chuanfeng finally used a magnifying glass to find a very small and plausible "Chuan" among the lines of the maple leaf.

The same is true for other jade pendants and finger rings, all of which have similar marks in inconspicuous places.

Generally, people who don't know it would never have thought that such a secret mark is contained in the lines of the leaves.

And in order to distinguish the twelve jade pendants, there are glyphs inscribed in the order of the twelve earthly branches on the back.

The whole set of jadeware definitely took a lot of thought. The effect presented is indeed irresistible.

Didn't you see the look of Yuko Tanaka who couldn't put it down? The charm of Chinese culture is really as pleasing as a work of art.

"I have caused you trouble this time, please accept the rest of the payment."

Bai Chuanfeng presented the check he had prepared earlier with both hands.

Only a deposit was given last time, now that the goods have been inspected. Then the remaining payment should be delivered and the transaction should be completed.

After accepting the check, Ambassador Zhang did not rush to leave.

"Mr. Bai Chuan loves jade so much, he must also have a lot of research on Chinese culture.

If it is convenient, welcome to go there and have a look. We welcome friends from all over the world to visit Huaxia. "

The spring breeze of reform has blown all over the country a few years ago. Today's China is like the soil after a long rain, and the germs of development are growing everywhere.

Therefore, Huaxia embassies abroad have a special department, the commercial office.

In addition to diplomacy, embassies also take on some functions in trade matters.

Of course, Bai Chuanfeng could understand the meaning in Ambassador Zhang's words.

"I also have this kind of thinking, I have heard that Pengcheng is developing rapidly, so there must be a scene full of vitality there.

But this year is too busy to get out, let's talk about it in the coming year. "

After speaking, Bai Chuanfeng handed over his business card with both hands.

With a twinkle in his eyes, Ambassador Zhang took the business card and exchanged his own at the same time.

"Then look forward to Mr. Bai Chuan's visit. Bai Chuan Electric has long been famous in China."

Bai Chuanfeng nodded with a smile, "It's an honor for Baichuan Electric."

Watching the famous neon couple leave, Ambassador Zhang also had a smile on his face.

It seems that the other party does have good intentions towards Huaxia, and the meaning in the words seems to be inclined to go to Pengcheng for field investigation.

After a little testing by myself, the other party also gave a positive response.

If this is the case, the matter should be reported to the country as soon as possible. As long as the approval is obtained, Ambassador Zhang will send a formal business visit invitation to Bai Chuanfeng.

This is the practice here at the embassy. First, verbally confirm each other's intentions.

If both parties respond positively, then a formal invitation to visit is issued through the embassy.

Since the normalization of diplomatic relations between Huaxia and Nihong, there have been more and more business cooperation with each other.

Even in history, this period is the honeymoon period of the two countries, and the frequency of mutual visits is also very high.

Enterprises such as Panasonic, Toshiba, and Hitachi have already visited China in the 1970s, and it is not surprising to invite another Shirakawa Electric now.

Time came to December in a blink of an eye, and the extraordinary 85 years had come to an end before we knew it.

The World Expo, the Plaza Accord, semiconductor anti-dumping investigations, everything is enough to affect the nerves of Neon.

However, for ordinary people, except for the World Expo, everyone will talk about it, and the others seem to have no impact on their lives.

However, it cannot be said that there is no impact at all. One of the most obvious changes is that more and more people are trading in stocks, and more and more people are playing foreign exchange.

In addition, everyone also found that some high-end American products are generally much cheaper.

For example, perfumes, bags, etc., their prices seem to have been discounted by about 20%.

Hey, luxury goods are cheap? Some housewives can't help but want to move around, and there is no reason not to buy it at a discount.

As a result, the flow of people in high-end shopping malls has increased significantly, and people's desire to consume has gradually become stronger.

But to say that the stock market has changed the most. I don’t know if it was stimulated by the Plaza Accord, and the entire Nikkei index is soaring.

Take Shirakawa Electric as an example. The market value at the beginning of the year was 4.5 trillion yen. By the end of the year, this figure had become 5.9 trillion yen, a surge of nearly 30%.

But the strange thing is that the market value ranking has not changed much, and it is still hovering around the fifth place.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the stock prices of all companies are rising, collectively soaring.

Facing the skyrocketing stock market, many companies are rejoicing while having headaches.

It is easy to understand with joy and encouragement. After all, the rise in market value shows that the company's brand awareness is too strong, and the public is optimistic about its development.

But where is the headache?

In the fourth quarter of 1985, affected by the Plaza Accord, the neon export industry rarely ushered in its first decline.

Naturally, this also includes Baichuan Electric.
