Seeing Ye Chen temporarily declined his proposal, Ito Yuhiko sighed regretfully.
He really hoped that Ye Chen could set up the ocean shipping business.
Because at this stage, the market of Asian ocean shipping is in China.
More than half of the ten busiest ports in the world belong to China. Only with such a huge import and export trade can it support the huge ocean shipping industry.
In this regard, Japan is far behind.
Therefore, even if the Ito family wants to do it themselves, there is not enough market and demand support in the local area, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.
So, he said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, in the future, the Ito family will gradually hand over the operation and management to Nanako. If you change your mind, you can contact her at any time. I believe you will be able to establish a very good foundation for cooperation."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said seriously: "If I have this idea, I will definitely contact Ms. Nanako."
Ito Yuhiko said with a smile: "Nanako is a good girl. I dare say that in terms of comprehensive conditions, the whole of Japan may not be able to find a better girl than her. Whoever marries her is marrying the best Yamato Nadeko in Japan. He will be the envy of men all over the world."
Ye Chen smiled kindly, but didn't answer.
Takehiko Ito knew that it was not a day's cold to be frozen three feet, so he said: "Mr. Ye, you and the little girl are exhausted from the boat and car, and you didn't rest at night. Otherwise, I will send you to the house to have a rest first."
Ye Chen waved his hand: "No need, Mr. Ito, I have something to do, I have to hurry back to Osaka, so I won't bother you any more."
"How can I do that?" Ito Yuhiko said seriously: "Mr. Ye, you drove here overnight and didn't even take a break, and you didn't even eat a meal. If you just leave like this, then the way of hospitality passed down by the ancestors of my Ito family will Wouldn't it be reduced to a laughing stock?"
Having said that, without waiting for Ye Chen to refuse, he hurriedly pressed the beeper on the bedside, and ordered: "Let Hui Mei and Nanako come in."
A moment later, Nanako Ito and Emi Ito knocked on the door and entered the ward.
Nanako Ito asked softly: "Odo-san, what are your orders?"
Takehiko Ito said to Emi Ito: "Emi, Mr. Ye and Nanako have had a hard time traveling all night. You arrange someone to send them back to the house to rest. Remember to call in advance to let the chef prepare the best dishes!"
Emi Ito hurriedly said: "Good brother!"
Ye Chen said sincerely: "Mr. Ito, really don't bother, I just drive back to Osaka."
Takehiko Ito said very seriously: "Mr. Ye, even if you want to go back to Osaka, you should at least sit at the residence for a while, have a meal and a cup of tea before leaving!"
Nanako Ito also persuaded from the side: "Yes, Mr. Marven Ye, your residence is not too far from here. It's not too late for you to eat something, take a short rest and then set off. It's not even dawn yet!"
The two of them traveled night and night in the middle of the night and arrived in Tokyo by car for more than three hours. It was only four o'clock in the morning.
Moreover, it is winter now, and the dawn is relatively late, and it will take at least two hours to dawn.
Ye Chen saw that the father and daughter were both so polite, so he had no choice but to agree, and said: "In this case, I would rather be respectful than obedient."
When Emi Ito heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then I will arrange a convoy. Now there are a lot of people from the Metropolitan Police Department to escort and protect them all the way. Safety can definitely be guaranteed."
Takehiko Ito nodded, and said: "Be sure to treat Mr. Ye well."
Emi Ito quickly arranged for a motorcade to accompany her, while Ye Chen still drove the car he had come here.
Nanako Ito also got into Ye Chen's car without hesitation.
Afterwards, Ye Chen drove to the Ito family's mansion in Tokyo under the leadership of the convoy.
Although Tokyo is very expensive and is one of the most expensive cities in the world, the Ito family also owns a quiet private estate here.
The entire manor is designed with Japanese-style ancient architecture, which is very simple, but it reveals low-key luxury everywhere.
Ye Chen discovered that even the wood used to build the house was extraordinary.
It seems that the top big families have a lot of money and no place to spend it, so when building and decorating a house, they try to spend money everywhere. If you can use high-end ones, you definitely don¡¯t need ordinary ones, and you can use imported ones Definitely not native.
In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, only choose the expensive one, not the right one.
?Because Ito Emi had called in advance, the entire Ito mansionAll the people were dressed neatly and waited respectfully at the gate of the mansion, in the yard and inside the villa.
Ye Chen parked the car, led by Nanako Ito, walked through the beautiful and atmospheric courtyard, and when he walked all the way to the entrance of the villa, all the servants along the way bowed at ninety degrees, with a very humble attitude.
The Ito family's villa in Tokyo is a huge multi-storey wooden building. The whole building looks like a huge ancient temple, and the internal space is surprisingly large.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Nanako Ito suddenly knelt down on the ground, clasped her hands in vain, and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye Chen, please ask Nanako to change your slippers for you!"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, just give me the slippers, and I'll do it myself."
However, Nanako Ito insisted: "It's better for Nanako to help Mr. Ye Chen change it. This is a Japanese tradition, and Mr. Ye Chen should treat it as going to the country and doing as the Romans do."
Ye Chen thought to himself, our China has long established equality between men and women, why in Japan, women still kneel to change shoes for men?
But after thinking about it, since it is their custom, they themselves may not think there is anything wrong with it. If they insist on opposing it, it will break the other party's rules.
So he had no choice but to lift his feet up, and said sincerely: "Then Miss Nanako is hardworking."
Nanako Ito, who was still wearing a kimono, looked up at Ye Chen and smiled shyly. She was so beautiful.
Afterwards, she gently held Ye Chen's feet with both hands, and gently changed a pair of slippers for him, then slowly stood up, and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye Chen, please!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and walked in with her.
Nanako Ito introduced to him: "This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was seriously damaged during the Kanto Earthquake. Because the repair cost is too high, no one cares about it. Later, it was taken care of by my father. Bought it, spent huge sums of money restoring it, and got it what it is now."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Mr. Ito seems to have a soft spot for this kind of old house? The house in Kyoto looks much older than this one."
Nanako Ito smiled coquettishly: "Actually, I like this style of architecture. After moving from Kyoto to Tokyo at the age of fourteen, I have never been used to life in Tokyo, so my father bought it here and spent a lot of money. It took money to fix it, and it became what it is now.¡±
Speaking, Nanako Ito said with emotion: "But I still like Kyoto more."
Ye Chen nodded, and said: "This mansion is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and has an ancient flavor and charm. It is already very good, but the one in Kyoto is indeed even better."
Nanako Ito said with some melancholy: "Father asked me to take over the family affairs, and it seems that I will rarely have the opportunity to go back in the future"
After finishing speaking, she looked up at Ye Chen, and asked with a bit of pleading: "Mr. Ye Chen, Nanako has a request, I wonder if you can agree?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
