Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 718: Rushing to the Past

Zhou Rui opened the door, and there were already about ten people sitting in the huge box.

Don't know anyone.
But everyone stood up.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Liu Neng from the Straits Branch. I met you at the annual meeting before."

"Hello, hello, I remember you."

"Mr. Zhou, I am Zhu Subaru, the leader of the rescue team."

"Good job."

Five of them are by the window, and they are in a row. They should be the five people who rush to the gods.

The information of several people flashed through my mind.

The eldest one came over with a smile on his face and shook hands: "Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Weng Chang Zhixiong, you can also call me Gu Zhixiong."

This Ong Nagashio is the governor of Oishen, and according to people there, he is considered the top leader.

Zhou Rui sat directly at the front seat, with the Chongshen Five on his left and Gan Yuan and "his own employees" on his right.

Zhou Rui pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? How did you get your Han surname?"

As the most backward county in Japan, Oishin is also a "stitch monster" where the US military is stationed all year round and the forces of all parties converge. In fact, the economic foundation is very poor. The mainstay is tourism, fishery, and service industries.
Now the tourism and service industries are gone. The whole island is in decay, and parents are missing.

Zhou Rui shook his hands for a long time, trying not to understand what he was saying, but he responded without delay: "Hello, thank you for coming all the way."

Although the race and culture are very different from the main island, after all, they have been controlled by Japan for decades after World War II, so the professional titles and classifications are all in Japanese style.

Although Gan Yuan acted like a strong woman, she did not hesitate to fold a small napkin for her boss and pour a cup of hot tea.

"BR county" is a concept larger than "city". The size of the region is naturally not as large as that of provinces in China, but the ranks are similar.

When Mei Gu was there, no governor could put food on the table.

A large "city" is similar to a place like Kyoto, a city, while a small "city" is similar to a town or district in China.

This governor is very paradoxical. He can understand other people's Chinese, but others cannot understand his Chinese.
It mainly focuses on one-way output. After a few words, Zhou Rui glanced around as if asking for help. Can any expert translate it?
The youngest male in the group of five said: "Governor Gu wants to say that you can call him by his Han surname. Besides, this is indeed his first time in Shanghai."

A "county" has many cities below it.

Among the five people on this trip, there is one "county governor", two "mayors", and two council members. This sounds very bluffing, but in international terms, they are all small players.

While wiping his hands, he said, "Is Mr. Weng Chang the first to come to Shanghai?"

Weng Chang Zhixiong said respectfully: "You should call me Gu Zhixiong. Gu is my family's surname. This is indeed my first time in Shanghai."

Being able to arrive in Shanghai smoothly, receive a high-level reception, and meet the enlightened and intelligent chairman is enough to boast for a year.

A small matter such as ordering food naturally does not require Zhou Rui to do it personally, and there is nothing important to say when it comes to it. It is all pleasantries.

"Gu Zhixiong" said: "The family is descended from the Shuri gentry of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The Ong family, a tributary of the Gu family, originated in the Ming Dynasty."

When talking about the origin of the Han surname, Gu Zhixiong's face was very solemn.

In ancient times, there were big and small Ryukyus, among which Okinawa was the big one and Strait was the small one, but they were just similar in name and had no affiliation. The areas of Okinawa and Ancient Ryukyu are small islands, so it is naturally impossible for them to reproduce their own races and civilizations. Almost all of them come from the Chinese mainland.

In terms of race, they are the same as the Fujian area. They are basically fishermen and sailors who have left the core area of ​​China. They started from settlements and became a political power in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and were recognized as vassals by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Using Chinese characters, learning Chinese books, wearing Han clothes, and paying tribute for generations, it enjoyed a short period of prosperity as a trade distribution center in the post-Discovery Age.

The "Han surnames" over there can only be used by nobles, either those who migrated from Fujian, or the royal family and its branches, or envoys who were given surnames.

Until the Qing Dynasty, which is greatly missed by the great powers, in short, colonists from various countries took turns harassing it. In the end, it was completely colonized by Japan, then acquired by the United States, and then entrusted to the management of the defeated Japan.

It was also an anti-Japanese area at that time, and many anti-Japanese comrades emerged. Unfortunately, the country was small and the people were few, so they never made a splash again.

Even in modern times, the people of the island are accustomed to calling them "natives" and are not regarded as the same race. However, after all, they have been colonized for hundreds of years since before the war. Their writing, customs, and culture have all been assimilated. Only a small number of local nobles have them. Learn Chinese traditions.

After listening to "Gu Zhixiong's" eloquent introduction, Zhou Rui smiled and said nothing and did not express any opinions.

However, the employees of "Enlightened Intelligence" have their own praises and are quite lively.

In the first half of the meal, the five-person group didn't say anything, and Zhou Rui didn't ask. They just kept in touch with each other and tried to build an "intimate" atmosphere.

Zhou Rui just doesn't like wasting time on weekdays, but that doesn't mean he can't handle it, and he can do it with ease.

He noticed that "Shang Chi", who had the shortest name and was a descendant of the Ryukyu royal family, had the best Chinese but the fewest words. He could only translate and translate at most, and he rarely expressed his opinions.

According to the information, this is a city councilor. There is no comparable position in the country, but it is similar to something in the county.

Judging from his age, he is already pretty good. Obviously his bloodline brings strong blessings.

About half an hour later, "Gu Zhixiong" finally said:
"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, we went to the Geelong area before and saw that the reconstruction work there has been completely completed. The roads are clean, the buildings have been reconstructed, and there are a large number of jobs created by your company's investment. I am really envious."

Having said this, this "Gu Zhixiong" wiped the corners of his eyes. Zhou Rui looked curiously, but didn't see a single tear, and his expression was quite spot on.

It's hard to say if there is no water, it all relies on acting skills.

"In comparison, our situation in Oishen is really miserable. There are still a large number of areas covered with debris and there is no way to clean them up. More than 1000 people are even missing, and their bodies are found from time to time. As the governor of a county, I feel really ashamed. .”

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows.

The meat show is coming.

It's a pity that it's raw meat, so I didn't understand.

Zhou Rui looked at "Shang Zhi" again.

Shang Zhi licked his lips. This long and emotional paragraph was really difficult to translate.
After listening to the translation, Zhou Rui nodded and said, "I have heard about some of the experiences of Chongshen. Due to the inaction of some people, secondary disasters were caused."

"Gu Zhixiong" seamlessly switched to indignant mode and said: "It is true that natural disasters cannot be resisted, but the subsequent handling is really chilling. I only regret that Chongshen does not have the strength, and there are no outstanding entrepreneurs like you to shoulder the responsibility for regional prosperity." Beam."

Zhou Rui waved his hand and said, "That's an exaggeration. We are just doing our best."

Gu Zhixiong said, you still call this meager?
The Geelong area is almost sold out by you.

They all call you "Jibancheng", Zhou Jiban! !

In the entire disaster-stricken area, half of the people work for you, and half of the people rely on you to survive. From infrastructure to water and electricity, the shadow of enlightened wisdom is everywhere.
He guessed that enlightened intelligence was backed by "the country", but he really didn't guess that Zhou Rui never asked about these things.
