Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 334 The Right Thing
Since we have decided to donate money to help build the library, it is natural that the matter should be finalized as soon as possible to avoid being intercepted by others and making things unpleasant.

At the same time, starting work earlier can save a lot of labor costs and material costs.

Therefore, Takeshita Masato said to his lover very straightforwardly: "Qingqian, please make an appointment for me tomorrow."

"Well, I'll call tomorrow."

Both of them hated to disturb people's sleep outside of working hours, so even though the president of Jingcheng University was most likely working overtime, they never thought of calling at night.

"Principal, Xinghai Group called and President Takeshita wants to make an appointment to meet with you."

"Okay, I'm free today and tomorrow, anytime is fine."

Although he didn't know what it was, Wu Shuqing simply agreed.

The other party had readily accepted the invitation to speak and also paid more than 200 million yuan in benefits. He couldn't lose his manners and do something stupid like crossing the river and burning the bridge.

Since the president of Jingcheng University had time, the young man did not waste any time and went to the president's office of Jingcheng University that afternoon.

After greeting each other and chatting briefly, Principal Wu Shuqing said apologetically.

"Please forgive me that the quality of the tea may not be that good."

Jingcheng University is short of funds, and most of the funds are invested in scientific research, teachers and students. As for the icing on the cake expenses such as tea, they are basically maintained at a low level.

"I don't know much about tea, so I can't tell whether a tea is good or bad by tasting it."

Unless the quality of the tea is bad to a certain extent, such as high-quality broken tea, he can indeed taste the poor quality.

Once the quality of the tea reaches medium level, it is difficult for him to tell whether it is good or bad.

Then the young man said, "Besides, it doesn't matter. It's just a cup of tea. It's all about showing your appreciation."

The two chatted for more than ten minutes before Masato Takeshita talked about the purpose of his visit.

"Really? Thank you so much, President Takeshita and Xinghai Group. Our library is indeed a bit old."

Wu Shuqing was very happy to hear that there was a donation of 1000 million US dollars.

He hopes to make Capital University more modern during his term of office.

“It is also an honor for our Xinghai Group to leave a mark in a top university in the country like Beijing University.”

Everyone is carrying the fancy sedan chair, and the young people also start to flatter it.

In this way, the two sides reached an agreement in a mutually beneficial atmosphere.

Xinghai Group will donate 7 million US dollars to Jingcheng University in July this year for the construction of a new library.

Soon, the same agreement was also implemented at Shuimu University.

As for Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Aurora University and other schools, Masato Takeshita also went there in person to handle the matter to avoid any mistakes.

Fortunately, it coincided with the final exam week before the winter break for Chinese universities, so there were no keynote speeches, which young people don’t like very much.

Giving a speech is not an easy job. You need to be always vigilant about what to say and what not to say.

After staying for almost two weeks, Masato Takeshita reluctantly prepared to leave China.

Before boarding the plane, he began to have a final whisper with his lover.

"I plan to come over again during the Spring Festival. I wonder if you would welcome me."

"It's not good to come here during the Spring Festival."

Lin Qingqian was very happy at first, but then became hesitant. She was worried that her lover would come again, which would be bad for both the company and herself.

"What's the big deal? You worked really hard last year."

It was only after the Spring Festival last year that he learned that the girl did not celebrate the New Year with her parents, but stayed alone in Zhongguancun.

This year, no matter what, she can't be allowed to spend the Spring Festival alone.

"Nothing, occasionally not being at home for the New Year is a different experience."

"You, just be brave."

Masato Takeshita scratched his lover's nose lovingly, and his desire to go to China to celebrate the Spring Festival became stronger.

Not only will he celebrate the Spring Festival in China, but he will also visit his father-in-law and his family on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to part eventually.

Under the girl's persuasion, Masato Takeshita boarded the plane, looking back every step of the way.

After a while, the plane soared into the sky. Lin Qingqian could no longer maintain her calm expression, and thin wet marks appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Every time they leave, she feels very reluctant in her heart.

On the way back, the secretary and the driver were tactful enough to keep quiet, leaving the girl more independent space.

The same thing happened to Masato Takeshita on the other side. He was in a very depressed mood.

He simply didn't go home and stayed at the Xinghai Group headquarters for two days.

There were not many things going on in Xinghai Group in January, and the company was running very smoothly.

It was not until Rogers and his group attended the electronics show in Las Vegas that the young man regained his energy.

"How's it going? Is everything going well?"

"It's still so bad, it would be great if we had our own game show."

In 1994, the gaming industry did not have its own separate gaming exhibition.

Gaming giants including Nintendo and Sega are displaying their gaming-related products at the Las Vegas Electronics Show.

Formal electronic exhibition booths look down on the gaming industry, so the spaces allocated to gaming companies are all in the corners.

"Is it still so bad? Should we discuss with Nintendo and Sega and have our game company set up its own booth next year?"

The organizers of the Las Vegas Electronics Show are hostile to the gaming industry.

In 1991, due to the large number of participating manufacturers, the game companies were even driven out to the street outside the venue.

You have to know that it was raining heavily in Las Vegas during the exhibition.

But gaming giants including Nintendo and Sega could only shamelessly set up tents outside to participate in the exhibition.

It was very embarrassing.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Rogers also brought back a lot of anger from this exhibition.

He vowed to facilitate cooperation among gaming companies and never again be bullied by the Las Vegas Electronics Show.

He immediately started to work out a comprehensive plan within the company, and then visited Nintendo.

Although Rogers and he are old friends, Yamauchi Hiroshi will naturally not blindly agree to such a big thing.

"What do you think about this matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yokoi Gunpei and others couldn't wait to respond.

"It really should be an independent exhibition. Las Vegas is too boring."

"That's right. Our gaming industry is already very developed and should have its own independent booth."

"I think we can support it. With Xinghai Group as the matchmaker, it will probably be possible."

Nintendo suffered much more in Las Vegas than StarCraft.

Since Xinghai Group has some reputation in the electronics field, Xinghai Games can also get a piece of the pie.

The location is indeed a bit remote, but not as remote as Nintendo and other companies.

Nintendo’s main focus is games, and it doesn’t care about face at all.

Of course, Star Ocean Game only has a little bit of light, and it is still very easy to be bullied.

Sony is more well-known than Star Ocean Group, but the gaming company is still very embarrassed.

Yes, Sony had a gaming department before the PS console came out, and it also released games for the Nintendo Famicom.

Yamauchi Hiroya knew all these things, and now that someone proposed a change, he naturally had no objection.

He is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. If the dispute with Sega had not been so serious, he would have held a separate exhibition for the gaming industry long ago.

If we can take down Nintendo, Sega will naturally be no problem.

Sega, especially Sega of America, had this intention long ago. The main driving force behind the previous game show was Kalinsky of Sega of America.

After the two major console giants took over, the situation became much simpler for the remaining third-party game companies, and they all readily agreed.

"I heard that things are going well. I wonder what your plans are?"

In response to his president's question, Rogers took out the company's collective achievement - the video game exhibition plan.

"It's very detailed and provides opportunities for latecomers, but it's a bit too one-sided to only hold it in North America. North America, Japan, and Europe are the three major gaming centers in the world, and none of them can be left out." "I understand. This is indeed better than focusing on North America."

Most small game companies have the problem of insufficient funds. Compared with traveling long distances to participate in North American exhibitions, it is far less economical than going back home.

More importantly, holding a game exhibition nearby can win the hearts of local players.

For players, having a game exhibition right at their doorstep and having to travel across the ocean to attend one are completely different concepts.

The former only costs a little, while the latter requires a huge investment.

With Rogers busy organizing the game show, the young man had nothing to do for a while.

"Comfortable, this is what life is all about."

Masato Takeshita sat on the sofa like a second-rate guy with his hands behind his head and his feet on the desk.

But soon, he changed to a new posture. Sitting like this is really tiring, and I don't know why some people like it.

A week has passed quickly, and the calm before the storm is about to end.

He came to Xinghai Capital and asked Kamoto Takamasa directly.

"How is the preparation going? Has everyone signed the agreement?"

"It's ready. Kikuno-san and I have carefully checked each one."

There are not many people at Xinghai Capital, and even fewer traders engaged in private equity hedging business.

The two of them checked it carefully several times, and it only took three days.

"That's good. We must make sure everything is foolproof so as not to leave any loopholes for the enemy to exploit."

There are too many companies in the financial industry eyeing Xinghai Capital.

Some of them want to share the spoils, while others want to swallow up Xinghai Capital.

Therefore, Xinghai Investment is currently acting very cautiously and only uses principal for investment to avoid being targeted by financial giants.

As long as I'm not too greedy, you can't do anything to me.

As for completely trapping Xinghai Capital, that would be a bit difficult for Wall Street.

Xinghai Capital pursues long-term investment, similar to Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, and is not afraid of a temporary stock drop at all.

"Don't worry, President. We know."

"Ah That's good."

Although he said this, he still checked it several times himself.

When it comes to financial investments of tens of billions of dollars, one can never be too cautious.

After checking it several times, the young man found that there was really no big problem, so he put it down carefully.

"Work will resume in two weeks. As usual, we will give our employees a long vacation first."

"One week, the company organized a trip to Hawaii. The other week, everyone spent time with their families and children."

The Japanese have a very special feeling towards Hawaii because it almost became a part of Japan.

Of course, even if they have it temporarily, they will lose it sooner or later. Japan does not have the national strength to compete with the United States.

"Please rest assured, President. I have arranged everything."

"OK, well done."

Masato Takeshita did not go on the trip to Hawaii as he had more important things to do.

In the capital of China, a beauty is still waiting there.

Because it was a private trip, Masato Takeshita only brought security personnel and chefs this time.

However, you still have to give notice in advance to avoid misunderstandings from relevant departments.

After a short day of rest, Takeshita Masato asked enthusiastically, "Do you want to go out and buy New Year's goods together?"

"Well, it's up to you."

"Well, hurry up and get dressed. Let's eat quickly and then buy more New Year's goods."

In the 1990s, the urban heat island phenomenon in Beijing was not so exaggerated, and the earth's temperature was also at a relatively low level.

Therefore, both of them wrapped themselves up tightly, without any intention of sacrificing grace or warmth.

"Have you got your gloves on?"

"Well, don't worry."

"OK, gogogo!"

In the 1990s, Zhongguancun had a large population of locals, so the festive atmosphere was also strong.

The two of them wandered around and soon bought a lot of useful and useless New Year's goods.

"This maltose is interesting, but it's a little sticky."

"Yeah, I loved eating it when I was a kid, and it does stick to my teeth."

After quickly finishing the Yekuai maltose, the two bought a string of candied haws.

The taste is actually very ordinary, but it does make people feel nostalgic.

"Why do you feel that you are more skilled than me?"

The girl was confused and muttered to herself.

"Don't you know that Yokohama has the largest Chinatown in Japan? I used to go there often when I was a kid, and that's where I learned Mandarin."

Masato Takeshita remained expressionless and skillfully came up with an excuse.

Anyway, time travel is not popular nowadays, and lovers would never think of this.

"So that's how it is, no wonder."

"Okay, let's continue shopping."

At noon, the two did not go back, but simply found a small, cleaner restaurant to have lunch.

"how do you feel?"

Lin Qingqian was worried that her lover wouldn't be used to the food, so she asked in a low voice.

“It tastes good, very tasty.”

Only a few years had passed since Masato Takeshita's life of luxury, and his tastes were still rather common.

Fried baby white fish and slow-cooked beef are his favorites.

The stir-fried river shrimps are also very good and go well with rice.

"Come on, eat too."

The young man smiled and picked up the small fried fish with its head removed, then carefully fed it to his lover's mouth.

"Mm, very crispy and delicious."

After lunch, the two came to an old-fashioned teahouse.

I didn’t expect that there would be storytellers here.

The two people listened with great interest and gave a tip of 10 yuan before leaving.

Too much will attract attention, too little will not be enough to show your thoughtfulness.

10 bucks, just the right amount.

The New Year’s goods street in the afternoon is far less prosperous than in the morning.

Maybe everyone had bought enough supplies, or maybe everyone preferred something new. The two of them didn't care and continued to stroll around with great interest.

"By the way, we haven't bought the gifts yet. Let's go buy them quickly before they're sold out."

Before coming to Beijing, he specifically asked this question to the Beijing natives in the group, hoping to get things done perfectly.

"No, I've already bought it."

"Really? Great, thank you so much for troubling you."

"We're a family, why are you so polite?"

"Hey, my bad."

After saying this, Masato Takeshita took the initiative to put his arm around his lover, his face full of happiness.
