A black Nissan Toyota car drove smoothly into the huodao crossing in Wan Chai. Sai zharon Wang sat in the car and read an English book carefully. The driver was Nairen, one of his men.
Toyota Motor has been established as early as the 1930s, but it was originally only a small department of Toyota automatic loom company. After World War II, the whole Japanese economy fell into a low tide, and Toyota automatic loom company was no exception. In 1950, the Toyota automobile department only produced 500 trucks, which could not make ends meet. Although the company''s management raised a loan from the bank, it could only alleviate the temporary financial crisis and had no spare power to continue to operate the automobile department.
After the financial crisis, the head office once heard that it was going to remove the Toyota car department, but in fact, the company''s management did have such an idea. After receiving the news, employees who refused to accept salary cuts and layoffs spontaneously formed trade unions and held a two-month strike and parade on the streets of Japan, which barely maintained the continued operation of Toyota''s automobile department.
However, Rao was so. In the environment at that time, no one was optimistic about Toyota and thought it was just surviving. Even the Department president Yoshiro Toyoda resigned. For a time, the whole department was shrouded in the shadow of impending unemployment.
However, the development of things is often unexpected. Just a few months later, due to the start of the Korean War, the U.S. military planned to order more than 5000 vehicles from Japan at one time. This order was also successfully signed by tarzo Ishida, who is still the CEO of Toyota automatic loom company and takes over the president of Toyota Automobile Department, reviving the Toyota automobile department that could not make ends meet, This makes this auto brand a miracle in the Japanese industry.
The Toyota car that Saito zhalenwang is now riding is a gift from Kondo. After the Japanese occupation, Hong Kong people hate Japan and have a mentality of resistance to Japanese products. Nissan has no market in Hong Kong at all. The car can arrive in Hong Kong smoothly, but Kondo has made it fair. The freight that is more expensive than the car itself is airlifted to Hong Kong.
The price of a Toyota car is about 1700 Hong Kong dollars, but it is a drop in the bucket compared with the big business run by Kondo and saizharon Wang.
The car was close to the men''s STD hospital opened by Kondo fair. Nairen looked in the rearview mirror at Sai zhalenwang, who was concentrating on reading books in his hand. He slowly slowed down and finally parked the car in front of the hospital without half a bump.
"Here you are, father Sai." Nairen waited for a moment. Seeing that Sai zharon Wang didn''t move, he whispered a reminder.
Sai zhalenwang touched his finger with saliva, turned over a page, looked at the book all the time, and said calmly, "wait."
Nairen nodded, turned back and sat in the driver''s seat without squinting. The rest of her eyes swept into the glass door of the hospital. A Japanese woman in a white uniform glanced in the direction of the car and hurried to the inside of the hospital.
Sai zhalenwang looked at the book in his hand. One of the words seemed to attract his attention and made his eyes stay on it for a long time. He didn''t turn the page for a long time.
Sai zhalenwang slowly read out that paragraph in Thai: "Japanese people are extremely aggressive and gentle; militaristic and beautiful; arrogant, self-esteem and polite; stubborn and fickle; docile and unwilling to be manipulated; loyal and easy to rebel; brave and cowardly; conservative and very welcome new lifestyles. They are very concerned about other people''s observation of their behavior, but when others have nothing to do with their bad deeds When they know, they will be conquered by guilt. Their army is thoroughly trained and rebellious
Nairen turned back in surprise after hearing this.
Sai zhalenwang smiled at him, "do you know what it means?"
Although Sai zhalen Wang has explained the text clearly in Thai, Nairen has never read a book after all. Even if he can hear every paragraph Sai zhalen Wang says now, he can''t understand the meaning.
Nairen smiled and scratched his head: "father Sai means that the Japanese are very complicated. Let''s be more careful?"
Sai zhalenwang laughed a few times: "it can also be understood that we hard-working people can''t trust anyone except ourselves, especially the Japanese with contradictory personality and full of nationality."
Nairen didn''t understand: "in that case, sir, why do you want to contact the Japanese? We have had a clear talk with the Kuomintang in Taiwan. They will transport goods to us from the golden triangle. Yantu is a high-profit business, and it doesn''t earn less than counterfeit money."
"Because the smoky soil will soon become an outcast of the times." Sai zhalenwang sighed with some sobs when he remembered his fair dialogue with Kondo that day.
Nairen doesn''t know about the transaction between Sai zhalenwang and Kondo fair about the extraction of yellow arsenic. He doesn''t even know what yellow arsenic is. However, Nairen once saw the heartrending sad appearance of smoke and soil addicts in Thailand. It''s hard for him to believe that this kind of thing that can drain all the oil and water on each other only if it is contaminated will become an outgrowth of the times.
"You''ll know soon." Sai zhalenwang looked kindly at Nairen, closed the book in his hand and handed it to him: "this is something written by an American. It analyzes the Japanese character very clearly. The more we do business with the Japanese, the better we know about them. Ren, you should also take time to read this book."
Nairen stretched out his hands and solemnly took over the book handed over by Sai zharon Wang. On the oil skin cover on a white background, several bold English words of the chrysanthemum and the sword attracted special attention.
"Don''t worry, sir. I''ll study this book carefully after I go back." Nairen carefully put away the English version of chrysanthemum and knife, made a commitment to Sir zhalenwang, and secretly determined to let Wen Ren, the best English speaker, explain the meaning of the book to him one by one after he went back, which will definitely live up to his father''s painstaking efforts.
Just as narin had just put the book away, the glass door of the hospital opened from the inside. Kondo and Patton came side by side to welcome the Toyota car parked at the door.
Sitting in the car, Sai zhalenwang suddenly burst into a warm smile on his expressionless face, stepped out of the car and saluted Kondo with his hands folded.
Seeing that Sai zhalenwang, accompanied by Kondo Gongping, walked step by step to the gate of the hospital, Patton and Nairen also walked side by side to keep up with them.
In front, Sai zhalenwang and Kondo talked happily. Behind him, Patton and Naren were also talking in a low voice.
"Tun, I''m afraid that father Sai asked you to stay with the Japanese for more than counterfeit money?" Nairen asked in a low voice, "I heard from father Sai''s words just now that he doesn''t seem to want to continue his tobacco business?"
Patton smiled mysteriously: "of course, what is smoke and earth? Now we have something more profitable."
In Nairen''s curious eyes, Patton took an oilcloth bag from his pocket and opened it to reveal the white powder inside: "this is called yellow arsenic. Only Japanese people have refining technology. 70% of yellow arsenic can be extracted from a kilogram of smokey soil, and the addiction is ten times that of smokey soil."
tenfold? Nairen looked at the insignificant white powder in Patton''s hand and couldn''t help shivering.
He has witnessed the suffering and torture of people with tobacco addiction, but at least he can quit smoking addiction. If the addiction of this thing is ten times higher than that of smoking, it may become a nightmare that many people can''t get rid of all their lives.
However, Nairen soon showed an excited smile on his face. This morning, he accompanied Sai zhalenwang and contacted Mr. Tan of the Central Hotel. Soon, there will be a steady stream of smoke and soil from the golden triangle to Hong Kong. At that time, yellow arsenic will be refined, and all addicts in Hong Kong will become their ATM.
"Talba is here. Fortunately, I''ve never been interested in this kind of thing, and cypress''s father doesn''t allow us to touch it." Nairen folded his hands and sighed happily.
