two days later
January 15, 1992
In the morning, 8:40.
? Jinling Daxiao Airport
Wang Yaocheng took the computer company manager Fan Qingyun, Cai Linlin and Luo Jinjin, three company employees, waved goodbye to his parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law who saw him off, and will take an international flight to Hong Kong from here to start his own journey around the world.
The eldest brother Wang Yaoyang has officially joined the Pacific Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. As for the work of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, he has to find time to go back and go through the formalities of suspension without pay.
Father, mother, and sister-in-law Luo Jingwen will return to Huaizhou City tomorrow. After all, Wang Guodong, as the unit leader, still has a lot of work to do when he goes back, and it is impossible to stay in the provincial capital for a long time.
Hongkong
? Kai Tak Airport, South Coast of Kowloon Peninsula
Wang Yaocheng and his party of four followed the flow of people to the exit of the international arrival hall. Not far away, there was a fence, and many people could be seen holding homemade signs to pick them up.
After combing through my eyes, I finally found two people, a man and a woman, holding a sign made of white corrugated paper, which read "Jie Wang and Shuangmu"
Why!
Is this "Wang Youshuangmu" Wang Sang?
"すみません、この方は王さんを接えますか?" (Hello, sir, are you picking up Wang Sang?)
"Hi, are you"
"I'm Wang Yaocheng from Pacific Corporation, and I'm in partnership with Mr. Ueno Hideo, head of the East Asia Division of jsd Co., Ltd. He introduced me to a friend in Hong Kong."
"Oh, what a pleasure to meet you! I am Suzuki Kikutaro, and this is my female colleague, Ms. Jin Huishan. We have come here specially to pick you up. Please take care of me."
Wang Yaocheng has been with the staff of the Japanese engineering project department for half a year, and he took Japanese as a second foreign language in the university. His Japanese level is very good, and he can speak normally.
He glanced at the sign in Suzuki Kikutaro's hand, and was speechless.
The writing here is vertical typesetting in traditional Chinese, which is different from the parallel writing habit, so it looks a bit awkward.
A group of people got into the van and came out through the Hung Hom Submarine Tunnel, and the bustling steel and concrete city of Hong Kong East District was fully displayed in front of them.
The densely packed high-rise buildings made Fan Qingyun and others, who had no experience of going abroad, startled from ear to ear.
Even Cai Linlin, who always looked calm, tightly grasped Wang Yaocheng's arm, showing the excitement that could not be concealed in her heart.
What's the matter?
Wang Yaocheng passed through Hong Kong more than ten times in his previous life, and he is no stranger to this place.
Compared with the magnificent buildings of Yanjing and Pearl Bund, this bustling place is just a cramped pigeon cage in his eyes.
Moreover, Hong Kong in 1992, compared with the forest of high-rise buildings in memory, looks small and dilapidated, with traces of vicissitudes of time.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Suzuki Kikutaro looked at Wang Yaocheng triumphantly through the rearview mirror, ready to admire the surprised faces of these country bumpkins in the international metropolis.
never thought
What he saw was Wang Yaocheng's disdainful expression, and he was very surprised in his heart:
Nani, are my eyes wrong?
The van stopped at the entrance of a building full of signboards, Suzuki Kikutaro gave a gracious introduction:
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Please stay in the hotel first and take a rest for a while.
?My female colleague Ms. Jin Huishan accompanied me throughout the accommodation and sightseeing matters.
In addition, we will take you to the company in the afternoon, please take care of everything. "
"Thank you!"
After dismissing Mr. Suzuki Kikutaro, Ms. Jin Huishan accompanied Cai Linlin and others to check in at the hotel.
Wang Yaocheng wandered around the door alone, and quickly matched his old memories.
Here is Queensway, the most prosperous Central and Western District in Hong Kong, which can be regarded as a part of Central.
This was originally the British Navy Dockyard, and there was a golden clock inside, hence the name of the place.
?As a world-class local tyrant, it is not surprising that Fusang Xiaobenzi’s company is established here. Now when it comes to wealth and power, other than Xiaobenzi, the whole world does not think second.
? According to Mr. Ueno Xiong, his friend specializes in international trade, and his business in Shenzhou is not small.
?The trading company is located at No. 93 Queensway, which is a high-rise property above Queensway Station of the MTR. The Japanese-funded department store "Matsuhaya" is the largest tenant here.
"Pine boardThe department store opened by "House" specializes in all kinds of high-end watches, jewelry, bags and clothing of world-renowned brands, men's and women's perfumes, international brand audio products, luxury products, etc.
Anyway, it's just one word: expensive.
Wang Yaocheng took a look at the house number of the hotel, it was really good
? Regent Hotel, 82 Queensway
? After entering the hotel room, Wang Yaocheng looked at the waiters who were serving attentively all the way, stood by the door smiling and refused to leave.
no alternative
?He took out a tip of 30 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him. The waiter took the 30 yuan, and the corner of his mouth slightly flattened, showing his contempt.
This scene made Wang Yaocheng so depressed that he wanted to scold his mother.
It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people.
Putting aside the temporary unhappiness, Wang Yaocheng opened the window to let the cold and wet sea breeze blow in, clearing his mind.
After the Plaza Accord in 1985, the yen appreciated sharply, and Fuso ushered in a 90-month "Heisei boom"
Today's Fuso is a gilded country. Restaurants sell sushi inlaid with gold flakes, and shopping malls sell chocolates wrapped in gold leaf. The prices are unimaginably high.
In Tokyo, every pedestrian is wearing brand-name clothing, brand-name shoes, and brand-name bags.
Office workers wear John Robb leather shoes, housewives wear expensive Van Cleef & Arpels (vancleefarpels) jewelry, trend-following youths chase expensive designer brands such as Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo, expensive is the only pronoun.
Newly graduated college students will be admitted by more than five companies immediately.
In order to compete for new blood, big companies lock these college students in luxury hot spring hotels in the name of training once they make an appointment, so as not to be snatched away by other companies.
If you graduated from a top university, the company will arrange a high-end apartment, equipped with an imported car, and give you a complete set of Armani outfits.
The rich customers enjoy high-end caviar, top tokujo rib steak, drink Louis XIII and Macallan whiskey, and the luxurious lifestyle is amazing.
An ordinary white-collar worker can easily spend thousands of dollars on off-duty entertainment, whether it's clubbing, disco, or drinking foreign wine.
? Weekend entertainment Playing golf at every turn, going skiing abroad or spending a good night with the beautiful bar girls in Ginza are all valuable expenses.
As for getting married, it is even more luxurious. Expensive wedding dresses, top-notch wedding banquets, and honeymoon trips require flying to Hawaii or Bali to enjoy a five-star sea view room, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars everywhere.
There is a well-known story
An old man who worked as a doorman for 40 years in a certain company in Tokyo sold his small dilapidated house before retiring and returned to the countryside to spend his old age.
Since the appreciation of the yen in 1985, money seems to have fallen from the sky.
Every Fuso person is inflated, and the whole country is in a state of extreme inflation. The real estate prices in Tokyo can buy the entire United States, and the high market value of the stock market accounts for 60% of the world.
Even if there are signs of bubble bursting in the stock market and foreign exchange market, the vast majority of rb companies and individual investors firmly believe that it is only a short-term adjustment, and there will never be any major problems.
Fusang Island is in the midst of collective high-heat expansion, and every citizen has ignored the huge risk.
In the end, when the bubble bursts and the glitz fades away, what is left is nothing but desolation and 30 years of lost time.
"They don't go abroad to play, they don't drive, they don't ski, and they don't play snowboards. They don't drink, they don't have sex, they wear Uniqlo clothes, and they should obediently attend classes in college. They don't have any ambitions at all."~ From the comments of the older generation, we can witness the demeanor of the lost generation of young people.
