After walking out of Narita Airport and getting on the bus bound for Tokyo, Li Weidong looked out through the window. Everything was the same as he remembered, with basically no changes.

"It's like this every time I come here!" Li Weidong sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, Li Weidong worked as a trainee in Japan for three years, and his workplace at that time was in Tokyo. Later, Li Weidong became rich and prosperous, and he traveled to Tokyo many times, but every time he came, Tokyo was the same, nothing.

change.

The streets, buildings, layout, and even the signboards are all the same as in the past. The only thing that has changed is that the hair of the ramen shop uncle has turned white.

Cities in China may change slightly in two or three years, but may change drastically in seven or eight years. If you revisit the same place after more than ten years, it will be completely different.

However, Japanese cities have not changed in forty years.

For a middle-aged Japanese, he can go back to his elementary school, junior high school or high school from time to time to reminisce about the ignorant and youthful time and look at the place where he stayed twenty years ago. Nothing has changed.

For a middle-aged Chinese, his elementary school, junior high school or high school may have been demolished, and those old buildings have become brand-new buildings. Everything in the past has changed. There are no memories or remembrances.

Even the appearance of first love is blurred.

Li Weidong was lamenting that Japan would not change much in decades, while other people on the bus were looking at the outside of the bus with curious expressions, and occasionally exclaimed in surprise, lamenting Japan's development.

Ye Jun sat behind He An'an and continued to express his gratitude.

"An'an, oh, no, what translator, look over there, the Tokyo Tower is in that direction. This Tokyo Tower is the tallest tower in the world, taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

Ueno Park is right over there. Ueno Park is the first park in Japan and has existed since the shogunate period. Didn’t Mr. Lu Xun mention the cherry blossoms in Ueno? That’s where he was talking about!

There is also Sensoji Temple near Ueno Park, which is also a famous attraction in Tokyo. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo, and there are many shops that have been preserved from the Edo period around it. I will take you to have a look after I finish what I am doing!"

Although Ye Jun has only been to Tokyo once, he turned into a "Tokyo expert" at this time, constantly introducing Tokyo's attractions to He An'an.

As for He Anan, he simply took out a Walkman and plugged his ears with earphones.

Li Weidong, who was not far away, smiled and thought to himself that this Ye Jun was really stingy. He only introduced free attractions and was reluctant to spend even a ticket to pick up girls.

Soon after, everyone arrived at their residence, a relatively cheap hotel with small rooms and outdated facilities.

After all, land is precious in Tokyo. For Chinese people born in the 1990s, hotel accommodation in Tokyo was indeed relatively expensive, so they could only stay in such cheap hotels.

Li Weidong estimated that a night's stay in a small shabby room in this cheap hotel would cost more than 2,000 yen, which is higher than the monthly salary of an ordinary Chinese person.

After settling in, everyone had lunch together, each with a bento. Li Weidong knew at a glance that he bought it from a convenience store.

Japanese people eat relatively simple lunches. Many students or married office workers bring lunch boxes at home. If they don’t bring lunch boxes, quick lunch boxes from convenience stores are also a good choice.

Those izakayas suitable for parties basically only open at five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Even if you want to have a group dinner at noon, there is no place.

The others tasted the Japanese lunch box with curiosity. Li Weidong took a few bites hastily, and then found the phone to contact Xizhi Electric.

Li Weidong proposed that he hoped to meet with President Tanaka, the head of Xizhi, but the other party said that President Tanaka was very busy at work, and if he wanted to see President Tanaka, he needed to make an appointment in advance.

So Li Weidong had no choice but to make an appointment to meet with President Tanaka at the headquarters of Nishizhiba at 2 p.m. three days later.

…

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Xie Hui called Li Weidong over alone.

"Director Li, I know that you came to Tokyo to discuss business with Xizhi Electric, so I won't call you for the next group activities. You can move freely," Xie Hui said.

"Thank you so much." Li Weidong said immediately.

Xie Huize continued: "But, we are a group after all. We are in a foreign country. If the members of the group act alone, they must also pay attention to safety, so you have to report to Old Tang every day so that we can confirm your safety."

.”

"No problem." Li Weidong nodded: "I will report to Director Tang every day."

Xie Hui pondered for a moment and then said: "If you encounter any difficulties over there, you can come to me and let's discuss it together. We at the Foreign Trade Department also have some connections in Tokyo. In addition to Japanese companies,

In addition, I also know several local Chinese and overseas Chinese groups who may be able to help."

Li Weidong nodded again: "If there is any progress on my side, I will report to you as soon as possible."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Li Weidong said goodbye and left.

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't stay in the room all the time. He was familiar with Tokyo, so he planned to walk around.

When I walked to the door, I happened to see He Anan holding a Tokyo subway map in his hand, looking at it in trance.

Tokyo has the most dense rail transit in the world. The Tokyo subway map is like a spider web, densely packed. Most people will definitely be confused when they see it for the first time.

He Anan is like this now, holding the subway map with a confused look on her face. Although she can understand the Japanese place names on it, looking at the densely packed subway lines, she feels like she is trapped in a maze, and she suddenly feels dizzy.

He An'an went to college in Beijing, so he naturally took the subway. At that time, Beijing's subway lines 1 and 2 had just been connected, and there was no comparison with the Tokyo subway network.

Li Weidong walked to He An'an and asked, "Translator He, are you planning to go out for a walk?"

He Anan nodded and said with some hesitation: "I want to see the Ueno Park, the one written by Mr. Lu Xun."

"To go to Ueno, you have to take the G line, which is this one!" Li Weidong pointed to the orange line on the subway map, and then continued; "Look, we are here now, so we should take the subway from here.

, and then sit here and transfer..."

Li Weidong immediately pointed out the subway transfer route to Ueno.

He Anan looked at Li Weidong in surprise and asked, "Director Li, you are very familiar with Tokyo's subway lines. Have you been to Tokyo before?"

"Of course I haven't been here before. This is my first time going abroad!" Li Weidong shook his head and continued, "I just studied the transfer route to Ueno by looking at the map. But I think Ueno Park is also

There’s nothing worth seeing.”

"Why?" He Anan asked.

"Japan is such a big place, how can the natural scenery compare with that of China! If it is the cherry blossom season, you can go to Ueno Park to enjoy cherry blossoms, but on weekdays, the scenery in Ueno Park is just ordinary, maybe

It's not as good as Haidian Park!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

Li Weidong is telling the truth. If you look at natural scenery, a small country like Japan cannot compare to China. From the frigid zone to the tropics, what kind of natural scenery does China not have? Just pick out any province and it can beat a small country.

It's a small country, but it's a big place without so many magnificent mountains and rivers. If there is a dirt bag, it is regarded as a famous mountain, and if there is a puddle, it is regarded as a lake.

Therefore, it is quite a loss to travel to small countries to see the natural scenery. The natural scenery in these countries can be found in China, and it is even more magnificent.

He Anan thought for a while and felt that what Li Weidong said made sense. She subconsciously asked: "Then where should I go?"

"When I come to Japan, of course I want to see some things with Japanese characteristics that we can't see in China." Li Weidong replied.

"For example?" He Anan asked with wide eyes.

Li Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Sensoji Temple is worth seeing. After all, it still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period and is considered a very Japanese attraction.

If you go to Ueno, you might as well visit Toshogu Shrine in Ueno. There is also a National Museum in Ueno, which contains a lot of cultural relics.

Another option is to go to the Ryogoku Arena and watch a sumo match. This thing originally originated in China, but now it has become the quintessence of Japan and can only be seen in Tokyo."

"Sumo wrestling? Are they just those big fat guys without clothes? I won't watch that!" He Anan's face turned slightly red.

For Chinese women of that era, it was indeed quite embarrassing to watch sumo wrestling with their big butts exposed.

Li Weidong smiled and then introduced: "Actually, I think you should go to Shibuya. It is the most prosperous and energetic place in Tokyo. It is the most elite area of ​​modern Japan and the place where young people are.

of heaven!”

"Shibuya?" He Anan looked down at the subway route map in his hand and began to look for the location of Shibuya.

"How about I take you there? I also plan to go shopping in Shibuya!" Li Weidong said.

He Anan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

After all, in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place, it is safer to have gay men you know by your side.

…

In the subway station, He Anan stood in front of the ticket vending machine with a curious look on his face.

At this time, domestic subways still sell tickets manually, while Tokyo's subways have already used automatic ticket vending machines.

Seeing He An'an's curious expression, Li Weidong handed the coin in his hand to He An'an's hand, and then said, "Come and try?"

He Anan nodded, and under Li Weidong's guidance, he learned to use the automatic ticket vending machine to buy subway tickets.

Soon after, a row of vending machines attracted He Anan's attention.

"Is this a vending machine?" He Anan walked forward and stared at the products inside curiously.

"What do you want to drink? I'll treat you!" Li Weidong generously took out the coins and stuffed them into the vending machine.

He Anan looked at the price of the drinks, 100 to 200 yen, which is equivalent to 5 to 10 yuan in RMB, and shook his head: "It's too expensive, the cheapest one is worth a day's salary."

"The money has been stuffed in and I can't get it out. Choose one!" Li Weidong pointed to the vending machine.

He Anan pressed one of the buttons, and a bottle of drink rolled out of the vending machine. Then he took out his wallet: "Then I'll give you the money back."

"No, don't forget, I am a rich man! I can sell products worth tens of millions of dollars a year!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Local tycoon?" He An'an thought about the word for a moment and understood that it referred to rich people. Then she started laughing. She thought the word was very interesting.

This smile was so sweet that Li Weidong was a little crazy looking at it.

He An'an also noticed that Li Weidong opposite was staring at her absentmindedly. Although she often encountered this situation, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she was stared at like this.

To demonstrate the embarrassment, He Anan stopped smiling and lowered his head to open the drink.

Li Weidong also felt that staring at the little girl like an old pervert just now was really embarrassing and went against his own positive role.
