Chapter 1081: Po's Trip to Tokyo

As a senior advisor and steward of Suning and Su Group, Zhou Jitou has naturally been paying attention to Suning's every move, so he was the first to know about Suning's lavish spending and investment in the electronics industry.

But looking at the woman in front of him who had "bewitched" Suning, Zhou Tou didn't know what to say for a moment. "Chen Zhen, Suning has called me. I've arranged a desk for you here, in Suning's president's office."

Chen Zhen naturally looked at the worshipper in front of him with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Haha, no need to call me Mr. Wang! Just call me Uncle."

"Uncle."

"Well, I've already had some information about Zisu Clothing placed on your desk. Suning also wants you to choose a room on the top floor of Delin Apartments. There are all kinds of daily necessities in the easternmost warehouse on the top floor."

"Okay! Uncle, I understand."

Chen Zhen was able to become one of the Thirteen Guardians of Mr. A in the original drama, so she was naturally very smart and capable. So with the assistance of Zhou Jietou, she quickly took over the work of Zi Su Clothing and officially moved into the top floor of Delin Apartment.

Because Suning had prepared all kinds of daily necessities on the top floor of Delin Apartment, Chen Zhen could naturally take over the work without distraction. In addition, apart from Zhou Qiutou, a senior consultant, Chen Zhen was surprised to find that there was no other trace of the opposite sex on the top floor.

Finally, Chen Zhen couldn't help but look at Zhou Litou with doubt and asked, "Uncle, doesn't Mr. Su have a girlfriend?"

The uncle who was checking the company's financial statements looked up at Chen Zhen and said with a smile, "Yes! Aren't you his girlfriend?"

"Uh? Uncle, I mean, is there anything else she wants to ask?"

"Yes! They both managed restaurants on Huanghe Road. One was the manager of the Begonia and the other was the manager of the Happy Club. As for whether there are any others, I don't know."

"Then why haven't I seen them come here before?"

"Business on Huanghe Road is so busy. These two restaurants are packed every day. Besides, if Suning isn't in Shanghai anymore, who else can we turn to?"

"Uncle, from the sound of your voice, I feel like you don't like them very much?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if I like you or not. After all, I'm just Su Ning's nominal master, and I can't ask too much about his personal affairs."

"..." Chen Zhen naturally heard the anger in Zhoukoutou's words, but of course she didn't know that Zhoukoutou regarded Suning as a potential son-in-law.

Just then, a noisy voice came from the stairs. The person hadn't arrived yet, but the voice had already reached them. "Oh my! This Suning is really abominable! He can't even use the elevator when he's not in Shanghai."

Zhou Xingtou naturally laughed heartily at his depressed daughter, "Haha, Mingzhu, Suning's elevators require fingerprint unlocking, you know that yourself."

"Dad, it's too tiring for you to go up to the rooftop to work every day. Why don't we just quit and stop working for him?"

Zhou Tou naturally hurriedly dismissed his daughter's nonsense, then pointed at Chen Zhen beside him with an embarrassed look on his face and introduced her, "Silly girl, you only know how to talk nonsense! This is Chen Zhen, Suning's assistant."

However, Chen Zhen smiled and looked at Miss Wang in front of him and asked, "Uncle, this girl must be your daughter, Wang Mingzhu, right?"

"That's right! She is my daughter, Wang Mingzhu, and she is currently a sales representative at Foreign Trade Building No. 27."

"Haha, it's true that a tiger father has a dog daughter. Miss Wang is obviously the future section chief of Section 27."

At this moment, Miss Wang also looked Chen Zhen up and down with eyes wide open in surprise, "Assistant Chen, are you the woman who has Su Ning so obsessed?"

"..."

"Huh? Mingzhu, stop talking nonsense." Zhou Xingtou quickly scolded and stopped Wang Mingzhu, then looked at Chen Zhen with an embarrassed smile and apologized, "Assistant Chen, Mingzhu has been spoiled by me and her mother, please don't mind it!"

"Uncle, it's okay! Actually, this is just a joke that came out of Shenzhen. President Su originally intended to sell the technology to Longda."

Then Miss Wang looked at Chen Zhen with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Assistant Chen, where is Su Ning? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"He went to Hong Kong! He said he was promoting Ningyuan Technology's new product, Ningyuan Computer."

……

Although Miss Wang always acts noisy, she is not targeting Chen Zhen on purpose. She is just curious about her.

Moreover, she came to Delin Apartment today to ask for help, so she quickly looked at her father and explained with a bitter face, "Dad, I made a big mistake this time. Can you help me?"

"what happened?"

"A customer wanted to buy knitting equipment from Japan. Out of kindness, I called the Japanese equipment supplier to compare prices. I didn't expect that I would violate the industry taboo of the Japanese equipment supplier. The Japanese equipment suppliers actually united and refused to sell this batch of equipment."

"What? Why are you so stupid? Besides, what does the client's business have to do with you?"

"I didn't mean to do that. This is like having good intentions but doing bad things!"

"Huh! Who is that client? Does he have any solution now?"

"It's Po, the guy who worked with my uncle. He's already gone to Japan to ask someone to save him, but I'm still worried he'll return disappointed."

"Hey! You! When will you grow up?" Zhou Xingtou looked at his daughter helplessly, then agreed as expected. "If A-bao can't solve the problem by going to Japan himself, our company will help you get the knitting equipment they need."

"That's great! Dad, you're so good to me."

"Okay! Take this as a warning! Think twice before doing anything next time."

"Don't worry! Dad, I will never make such a mistake again."

This incident in the original drama of "Fanghua" led Abao to go to Japan and meet Lingzi. Of course, it was indeed a case of Miss Wang's good intentions leading to bad consequences, but Abao is no longer the same person as before.

You should know that Suning invested one million in Abao and his uncle at the beginning. Then Abao worked hard to develop the foreign trade industry. He also set up offices in cities across the country where treasury bond trading was promoted to purchase treasury bonds on a long-term basis. Naturally, he has become far more than the President Bao in the original drama.

In the original drama of "Fang Hua", A Bao did not become the Mr. Bao that everyone envied and praised until he obtained a large number of stock subscription certificates in early 1992. This was because everyone wanted to get on Mr. Bao's bandwagon and make a fortune in the stock market.

So Ms. Wang really didn't need to go to such lengths to save a few bucks. After all, it wasn't the first time that Abao and the young Ningbo had bought knitting equipment, and the current predicament had left Abao and her uncle extremely annoyed. Of course, both her uncle and Abao knew that Suning could offer high-quality and affordable knitting equipment, but Abao, who disliked Suning, didn't want to get involved with it any further, preferring instead to go through the trouble of purchasing a brand-new production line from a Japanese equipment manufacturer.

……

At this time, Abao had arrived in Tokyo, Japan alone, but because he came in a hurry, he only had a seven-day visa, so the first thing he did was to go straight to the knitting equipment sales company in Tokyo.

However, the reason these Japanese devils chose to attack at this time was not just because Miss Wang broke the rules, but because they wanted to take advantage of the situation to raise prices for Abao and Xiao Ningbo's clothing factory.

And even if the price increase fails, it can give those Chinese customers a warning, not a small one, so Abao is destined to be directly blocked outside the sales company.

In desperation, Abao could only find a way to contact a Chinese student to act as an interpreter, because he had already realized the trouble and embarrassment of the language barrier, and now that he was not short of money, Abao did not care about the small amount of money for hiring an interpreter.

After getting in touch with Yamamoto Kosaku, whom he had met once in Shanghai, he went to the Eri nightclub in Ginza with a temporary Japanese translator. The comfort and elegance he felt were naturally not comparable to that of Po in the original drama.

Because all communications with the Japanese were handled by temporary translators, the proprietress, who had already been greeted by Yamamoto Kosaku in advance, was very enthusiastic and quickly helped Abao and the translator arrange seats at the Huili Nightclub.

After they sat down, the temporary translator excitedly explained to Abao, "Boss Bao, this Huili is a high-end club in Ginza, Tokyo. We are only able to spend money here today because of you."

"Haha, then don't be polite tonight. I'll pay for everything."

"Thank you, Mr. Bao."

Reiko, who worked as a waitress at Huili, was also assigned to serve because she was Chinese. So, while pouring drinks and greeting people, she overheard the conversation between the two men, "You two, are you also Chinese?"

The temporary Japanese translator looked at Lingzi and introduced himself, "Yes! My name is Chen Yu, a student from Suzhou studying in Japan. I'm currently serving as the temporary translator for Mr. Bao, a big boss from Shanghai."

As expected, Lingzi's eyes lit up as she looked at Mr. Bao in front of her and introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Bao! I'm also from Shanghai, my name is Lingzi."

"Hello, Reiko!"

"Boss Bao, Translator Chen, if you need anything, please let me know. Mr. Yamamoto can't come so soon. He and the boss lady are already attending the opening ceremony of a new store."

"Okay! Thank you."

Mr. Bao's attitude towards Lingzi is at most like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land. At present, it seems unlikely that the emotional entanglement in the original drama will appear again. Then he sits in the Huili nightclub and waits anxiously.

Waiting for someone is undoubtedly a very painful thing. I drank a lot of expensive drinks and went to the toilet many times, but I still didn't wait for Yamamoto Kosaku.

Lingzi naturally saw Mr. Bao's anxiety and helplessness, and then, seeing that there were not many guests at this time, she ran over and said, "Mr. Bao, Mr. Yamamoto may not be able to come today. Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest first?"

"No! I only came to Japan for a seven-day visa this time, and I have to rush back to Shanghai tomorrow morning, so I have to wait no matter how late it is today. At worst, I can go directly to Haneda Airport to catch a flight tomorrow."

"I didn't expect that your business was so hard."

"Yeah! Nothing is easy. Reiko, how long have you been in Japan?"

"Four or five years! My biggest dream is to open my own shop so I don't have to suffer in Tokyo every day."

"Reiko, I have a feeling your dream will come true. After all, there are very few Chinese people coming to Tokyo to work hard these days."

"No! Mr. Bao, you may not know that there are really a lot of Chinese people in Tokyo. Almost every corner has Chinese people working hard for the future."

The late 1980s was naturally the peak of Japan's bubble economy, so there was no shortage of frustrated people living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in Ginza, which made Tokyo's Ginza the most famous commercial consumption area in Japan.

Finally, Po finally waited for Yamamoto Kosaku who arrived late. As soon as Yamamoto Kosaku saw Po, he hugged Po with a face full of surprise, "Oh! Po, you are my friend forever."

Po was extremely surprised as he endured the stench of alcohol coming from Yamamoto Kosaku. "Mr. Yamamoto, you're finally here. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you tonight."

"Abao, please don't mind me! I was just drinking with some Japanese equipment suppliers, and I know the whole story."

"Mr. Yamamoto, what exactly is going on? It shouldn't be the call from my friend, right?"

"Of course not! It's mainly because of that Suning."

"What? Suning?"

"Yes! Some time ago, this guy got some secondhand knitting equipment from somewhere. Currently, several large knitting garment factories in the Yangtze River Delta region are using his secondhand knitting equipment, which is why the Japanese equipment manufacturers are so frustrated."

"This……"

"Abao, don't worry! They've all agreed to continue supplying you. This is all because of me, Yamamoto Kosaku!"

"Mr. Yamamoto, thank you so much."

"Abao, there's another piece of great news. Do you want to continue listening?"

"Mr. Yamamoto, go ahead."

"Because of my guarantee, Japanese knitting equipment manufacturers trust you very much. Of course, they have also heard about your business strength in Shanghai, so they are ready to let you be the sole agent for the sales of Japanese knitting equipment in China."

"Mr. Yamamoto, this is great news!"

"Abao, these Japanese equipment manufacturers have only one request, and that is to allow Japanese equipment to occupy as much of the Chinese market as possible."

"Okay! I will definitely not let you down."

Being able to be the agent of Japanese knitting equipment was naturally a great thing that Abao had never expected. He thought that with the support of the Japanese consortium, he could compete with Suning. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that Suning had made moves in imported equipment, otherwise these Japanese equipment suppliers would not have put so much effort into training him.
