Before the word “bath” for Meiqing to take a bath was finished, Jacob was stunned by the scene before him.
At this time, Meiqing had got out of bed and was standing by the bed.
She had already taken off the down jacket on her body. She was only wearing a single at home, not to mention, the sleeves on both sides were struck above her elbows.
And at this time, Meiqing, how could the whole person still look like the sickness just now?
She can be said to be in excellent condition, energetic, ruddy, and shiny…
What’s even more exaggerated is that at this time, Meiqing was stretching her arms vigorously. She might feel that it was not enough to relieve her hatred, so she simply jumped on the spot twice.
Jacob was stunned, and he was shocked for a long time before returning to his senses. He stammered and asked, “That…beautiful…Meiqing…you…what are you… Are you down?”
Meiqing said in full aura: “Jacob, I feel like I am completely better! Thanks to your bowl of millet porridge!”
Jacob felt that the whole world seemed to have become magical, and blurted out: “It’s just a bowl of millet porridge, where is such a magical effect…”
While moving her body, Meiqing said earnestly, “But now I do feel that my whole person is completely healed, not only is completely better, and the condition is much better than when I was not sick before. Not only I don’t feel cold at all. , And it’s still very hot, and more importantly, I feel like I’m having endless energy…”
“This…” Jacob was almost crying, and said with a gloomy look: “This…what’s going on? I live such a big life, I never heard that millet porridge is so big. The effect of this is not reasonable, this…”
Meiqing pinched her waist with one hand, raised her hand high, and stretched it to the side, and said without changing her face: “I also think it’s very magical as if you put some elixir in millet porridge…”
Jacob sighed, “I…Where did I get the elixir…”
As he said, he hurriedly asked, “Meiqing, then…are you still soaking in the bath?”
Meiqing shook her head and said hurriedly, “Jacob, what time do you plan to go home?!”
Jacob asked depressedly: “Meiqing…you should chase me away when you get better…”
Meiqing hurriedly said, “Oh, where did you want to go? Am I that kind of person? I want to call you to exercise together, but I am afraid that it will delay you too long, and it will be difficult to explain to your wife after you go home.”
“Exercise?” Jacob subconsciously became a little fanciful, and hurriedly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay! No matter what time I go back, I have no problem! I have to have two or three hours!
Meiqing said excitedly, “That’s great!”
Jacob asked subconsciously, “Meiqing, you…what exercise do you want to do?”
Meiqing blurted out: “I want to go for a run by the river! You first wait for me at the door, I’ll put on sportswear and then we will go!”
“What?!” Jacob said with a look of shock, “Going for a run by the river at night?!”
Meiqing nodded and said, “Yeah! I feel like I am full of energy right now, so I especially want to go out for a run, and have a good run!”
After that, she looked at the time and said, “That’s not too late. It’s just seven o’clock. Many people who like to run at night usually start at this time and run until half-past nine.”
Jacob’s desire is gone.
“What the hell is going on? When did the fever get better so quickly? Under normal circumstances, isn’t the body extremely weak after a high fever? But right now, it doesn’t seem to be in line with common sense at all. …..”
Just when Jacob was full of depression and surprise, Meiqing urged a little anxiously: “Jacob, are you willing to go? If you want to leave, I can’t help it! “
Jacob is too embarrassed to say it?
“If I don’t go, Meiqing will go for a run. I can’t stay at someone’s house, right? Even if I stay at her house, what can I do by myself? I can’t go to her bathroom for a bath, right? His fate is too weird…”
Thinking of this, Jacob could only say with a sad look: “Okay, since you want to run, then I must accompany you!”
“That’s great!” Meiqing hurriedly said, “Then you go out first, I’ll get dressed quickly and we will set off immediately!”
“Okay…” Jacob, who was so depressed, could only agree, turned around with a sullen expression, and left the door.
This bedroom, in his eyes, was the tender hometown he had been away from for nearly 30 years.
But now, he can only stand outside the door, waiting for Meiqing to change clothes inside.
The key is that after she changes clothes, she has to take him to run…
Depressed, Jacob sighed, covering his face with one hand, and holding his head with the other, before squatting down at the door of Meiqing’s bedroom.
When he squatted down, he was still wondering: “Where is the problem? Is it possible that millet porridge really has such a magical effect?!”
Three minutes later, the bedroom door opened.
Meiqing stepped out. At this time, she put on a full set of tight running clothes and tied her long hair in a ponytail. She looked like a fifty-year-old woman, and there were many people who said she was thirty, and later seemed true.
She saw Jacob actually squatting on the ground and hurriedly asked, “Jacob, why are you squatting here for?”
Jacob quickly stood up and said awkwardly, “It’s okay, I’ll rest for a while…”
After that, he took a closer look at Meiqing, who was wearing tights, and that perfect figure almost made him see his eyes off.
He really didn’t expect that Meiqing would still maintain such a good figure after being so old.
Because this kind of tights is very revealing of the pros and cons of the body, if the body has a little fat, you can see clearly under this kind of tights.
But Meiqing’s figure can hardly fault her.
Seeing Jacob in a daze, Meiqing felt a little bit ashamed, but she didn’t care too much, and hurriedly said, “Let’s go out, I’m almost out of the heat!”
Jacob could only nod angrily and followed her downstairs.
The villa area where she lives is not far from the riverside. After going out from the front door of the community, after passing a green area and crossing a road, you will be directly on the riverside road.
Over the years, the state has been encouraging people to strengthen physical exercise. Therefore, the City built a 20-kilometer-long road along the riverside, half of which was a track paved with rubber particles, specifically for citizens to run.
Meiqing lives here since she moved here, and basically, she has to run a lap every day. The reason why she has such a good figure is that she has continued to exercise for decades.
On the other hand, Jacob, although his body is not bad, is the standard of an ordinary middle-aged person. He rarely exercises. Apart from drinking tea, bead beads, and walnuts, the biggest exercise is to chat with others in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. , The lips are more neat than the legs.
Therefore, as soon as he ran with Meiqing, he was a little out of breath and couldn’t keep up within three minutes.
But on the other hand, Meiqing is almost as if she was beaten up. With such a small amount of exercise, let alone panting, there is no change in her complexion.
Soon, Jacob really couldn’t hold it anymore, panting and saying, “Beautiful…Meiqing…that…that…I really…… I really can’t run, let’s… shall we rest for a while?”
Not only did Meiqing not feel tired, but she felt that she hadn’t even begun to enter the state.
So she hurriedly said: “Jacob, why don’t you walk slowly by yourself, I will run for a while and then come back to find you? I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I feel that my strength is useless, I can only rely on two The legs are exhausted, so I can’t stop at all…”
Jacob gritted his teeth and said, “Then…then I will be with you…”
After speaking, he quickly used the strength of the milk and followed desperately…
When Jacob broke his leg with Meiqing on the riverside, Charlie was only the last few kilometers away from Song’s manor in the outskirts of the City.
At this time, in the banquet hall of the Song Family Manor, the father and daughter of the Ito family, Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka, were accompanied by Warnia, chatting with Mr. Song.
Although the Song family’s cooperation with Nippon Steel relied on Charlie to cure Nippon Steel’s chairman Shinwa Watanabe, it was also thanks to Ito Takehiko’s matchmaking.
Moreover, after Warnia had an accident in Japan and was rescued by Charlie, it was also thanks to the care of the Ito family.
Therefore, Mr. Song was very kind to the guests of Ito’s house.
As for Nanako, she was busy chatting with Warnia and it was all the whispers between women. The two kept whispering, often laughing out of control as if they were good sisters.
And the Akita dog that Nanako brought was lying on her feet obediently, staring curiously everywhere with round eyes.
Just in time, Qin Gang took Aoxue his daughter, and Charlie arrived at Song’s house one step at a time.
As soon as the father and daughter entered the banquet hall, Warnia hurriedly got up and waved to Aoxue, “Aoxue, come here!”
Aoxue saw Warnia and Nanako, and quickly waved at them.
Seeing Nanako, Aoxue felt a little bit embarrassed in her heart. After all, she inadvertently injured Nanako very badly in the previous game. In addition, she was a lot weaker than Nanako. Charlie’s pill was only able to counterattack, so she felt even more ashamed.
Immediately afterward, she saw the Akita lying at Nanako’s feet. She was immediately attracted by the puppies’ naive appearance and screamed, “Wow! Is it Momotaro?! My goodness, it’s so amazing. So cute!!!”
As she said, she ran over.
Her bluff attracted everyone’s attention.
Qin Gang suddenly said with a little embarrassment to Old Man Song and the rest of the Ito family: “Sorry everyone, this girl has no rules and always makes a fuss…”
After speaking, he was about to reprimand Aoxue twice, but Aoxue had already run to the Akita dog, squatting down and reaching out to tease the dog.
Qin Gang shook his head helplessly, and Mr. Song said with a smile at this moment: “Mr. Qin Gang, come and sit down and let me introduce you to Mr. Ito from the Japanese Ito family.”
Qin Gang hurried forward and shook hands with everyone in the Ito family one by one, and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry for just now. The little girl likes to tease cats and dogs all day long. Please bear with her.”
Ito Xiuhiko smiled and said, “Mr. Qin doesn’t have to be so polite. Little girls are like this. Your Aoxue is about the same age as our Nanako. Although they are in their early twenties, they are still little girls. I can’t understand this state better.”
Qin Gang nodded and smiled: “Indeed, the children of our two families are all about the same age, and they both love martial arts. Hey, sometimes I get worried. You said this little girl doesn’t like piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They like dancing knives and guns, kicking sandbags at home every day, and kicking two of them a week, do you think you can stand this…”
Takehiko Ito smiled and said, “I used to like to supervise children. Not only did they let them learn martial arts, but also let them learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even tea ceremony flower arrangement. I always wanted to cultivate her into a real fine lady.”
Speaking of this, Ito Xiuhiko sighed, and said, “But now I think about it. As long as the child is happy and doesn’t go wrong, it’s enough. Let her explore the rest. .”
“Yes.” Qin Gang nodded and said with a smile, “I can’t control her now, so I don’t bother to control her either.”
Here, Aoxue’s attention was almost completely attracted by the Akita dog.
While stroking Akita’s head, she looked expectantly at Nanako, and asked, “Nanako, is this dog really for me?”
“That’s right!” Nanako nodded and smiled and said seriously: “It’s called Momotaro. He is a little boy. Although he is a boy, he has a good temper and good learning ability. From now on, I will ask for your care!”
Aoxue was extremely excited and gratefully said, “Nanako, thank you so much!”
Nanako smiled and said, “Everyone is a friend, what are you doing so politely.”
Aoxue blushed and said, “I…I’m sorry…I hurt you like that in the game before, and I haven’t had a chance to say sorry to you…”
Nanako hurriedly said, “Since it’s a competition, there will be winners and losers, and some people will be injured. Everyone is playing fair. Sorry, don’t take it to your heart.”
Aoxue said embarrassedly, “But…but…but I was…I was…”
Suddenly, Aoxue didn’t know how to explain it.
After struggling for a while, she gritted her teeth and blurted out: “But I didn’t rely on my own ability to win you at the time. I relied all on Master Wade’s help…So after all, I couldn’t win that match… …”
Nanako smiled slightly and said seriously: “Aoxue, everyone has their own different chances. It’s like some people master higher-level fighting skills, while some people master better ways to strengthen the body, so there is nothing to win or lose, besides, thanks to you wounding me, Mr. Wade will be thinking about helping me heal the injury. It is precisely because of Mr. Wade’s concern that my entire family and I will be saved by him. After all, I thank you that it is not too late…”
“Ah?!” Aoxue asked in surprise, “Is there anything like this?!”
Nanako nodded: “It sounds outrageous, but it is true. If Mr. Wade had not come to Kyoto to heal me, I would have been dead now.”
When Warnia heard this, she felt a little sour in her heart.
Before she knew Nanako, she thought that she was the only one who allowed Charlie to travel thousands of miles to rescue.
But it turns out that Charlie did the same to Nanako.
While sighing with emotion, Warnia also recovered, and she couldn’t help reminding her: “Warnia, Warnia, how can you be jealous with a little girl… After all, Master Wade has a wife, his sweetheart is Claire, not Nanako, nor you Warnia…”
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help sighing, her heart depressed.
Nanako heard her sigh and hurriedly asked, “Sister Warnia? Why did you suddenly sigh? Is it in a bad mood?”
Warnia hurriedly waved her hand to deny: “No, I just thought that I almost died in Japan back then. Thanks to Master Wade’s help, I couldn’t help feeling a little…”
Nanako nodded sympathetically.
The reason why she and Warnia get along very well and treat her as a sister in her heart, is because the two are too similar in many ways.
Both of them are the eldest ladies of a big family, but they also encountered the danger of almost losing their lives more than once, and both of them were rescued by Charlie at the critical moment of their lives…
More importantly, Nanako can see that Warnia, like herself, loves Charlie deeply…
Therefore, having such a similar experience gave her a feeling of sympathy deep in her heart.
Aoxue felt a little lost when she heard the two talk about being rescued by Charlie.
She held Momotaro in her arms, sat down on the ground, and sighed, “Hey, I suddenly envy you…”
The two couldn’t help looking at her at the same time. Warnia asked, “Aoxue, what do you envy us for?”
Aoxue said earnestly: “I envy you all for having the experience of being saved by the hero like Master Wade. Why haven’t I encountered such a thing…”
Nanako hurriedly interrupted her, blurting out: “Aoxue, don’t talk nonsense! This kind of thing is not a joke!”
“That’s right!” Warnia also said extremely solemnly: “This kind of flag must not stand in disorder! Peace and safety is the most important thing!”
Aoxue whispered: “But…but I really envy you…”
Seeing her hopelessness, Warnia and Nanako couldn’t help but glance at each other and laughed bitterly at the same time.
On the one hand, the two of them were surprised by Aoxue’s amazing brain circuit, and on the other hand, they couldn’t help feeling in their hearts. It seemed that Aoxue, like the two of them, loved Charlie deeply in her heart, otherwise it would not be possible to have such an idea suddenly.
Warnia looked at Aoxue and said with a smile: “You, don’t envy others indiscriminately. In fact, I am quite envious of your experience of Master Wade escorting you at every critical moment. It’s like being protected by a prince all the way. Little princess, don’t need to see the sins in the world.”
Aoxue blushed all of a sudden, and said vaguely, “Ah…Where…I am not Master Wade’s little princess… .”
Warnia nodded, looked at Nanako, and smiled: “It seems that Aoxue doesn’t want to be Master Wade’s little princess. When we turn around, we have to remind Master Wade.”
Nanako nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, when Mr. Charlie arrives, I’ll find a chance to tell him.”
Aoxue was anxious and blurted out: “Oh, don’t get me wrong…I didn’t mean that…”
Warnia deliberately asked her, “Then what do you mean?”
Aoxue replied with shame, “I…I think…I think Master Wade will not treat me as his little princess…”
Warnia smiled and said, “Aoxue, listen to what you mean, don’t you like Master Wade?”
“Ah…” Aoxue was startled, blushing immediately and waving her hand: “I don’t…I really don’t…”
“I don’t believe it.” Warnia smiled: “You must like Master Wade. Look at you, your face is red.”
“Yes.” Nanako also joked: “It looks like a ripe red apple. I can’t wait to take a bite. If Mr. Charlie saw it, maybe he would have the same idea… .”
Aoxue suddenly covered her face with her hands, and said shyly: “Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t blush…”
Although she said so, she was very worried in her heart. She hurriedly stood up and said hurriedly, “Sister Warnia, Nanako, I…I’ll go to the bathroom, you guys… talk first…”
After speaking, she ran away quickly.
Warnia and Nanako looked at her back and couldn’t help but smile at each other. Warnia said seriously, “Nanako, do you mean Master Wade?”
Nanako pursed her mouth and said seriously, “I don’t know if Charlie is not a flower, but I feel that he is a flower himself, and a flower that attracts bees and butterflies…”
Warnia nodded in admiration, and said with emotion: “Apart from him, there may be no other flower that can attract bees and butterflies…”
At this moment, the men in the other corner of the banquet hall also talked happily.
After everyone chatted, Mr. Song looked at Qin Gang and smiled: “By the way, President Qin, don’t you have a lot of exports to Japan recently? You can get in touch with Mr. Ito in the future to see if there is any good cooperation, just set a direction.”
Ito Takehiko asked curiously: “Oh? Mr. Qin also has business in Japan?”
Qin Gang nodded and said truthfully: “To be honest, I was originally in the business of medicinal materials, originally only for China’s domestic market, but recently the export volume from Japan has soared, accounting for half of all my medicinal materials sales, even It’s still growing.”
Takehiko Ito asked in surprise, “How much does Mr. Qin supply to Japan?”
Qin Gang said with a respectful expression: “I am afraid, these medicinal materials are all supplied to Master Wade’s JX Pharmaceutical. Didn’t Master Wade buy Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in Japan some time ago, and then handed over all the supply of medicinal materials for several production lines to me.”
“That’s it!” Ito Takehiko suddenly understood.
Before, he also wanted to invest in JX Pharmaceutical, but he didn’t expect to have a little unhappy with Charlie because of this, so Charlie was scammed by 4.5 billion US dollars.
At first, Ito Takehiko thought that the 4.5 billion US dollars must not be given to Charlie so easily, but then Charlie saved his daughter, avoided the Ito family from being harmed, and even saved his own life. Kindness made him stop thinking about the 4.5 billion dollar thing a long time ago. Even if he thinks about it, he doesn’t feel distressed at all but feels lucky.
In fact, there is another very important reason why Ito Takehiko doesn’t care about the 4.5 billion US dollars now, that is, the Ito family survived the Tokyo chaos almost intact.
On the other hand, the Takahashi family and the Matsumoto family suffered a heavy loss and the other was wiped out.
The Ito family relied on the integration of their resources and markets, and their strength increased rapidly. This huge increase is simply not comparable to US$4.5 billion.
Therefore, not only did Ito not hate Charlie but instead regarded Charlie as the benefactor of the entire Ito family.
Qin Gang is actually the same. He sighed with respect and emotion: “Since Master Wade handed over the supply of medicinal materials for JX Pharmaceutical to the Qin family, the family’s business volume has more than doubled, and the revenue growth ratio has been higher… .”
“More importantly, Master Wade is not like other manufacturers. Other manufacturers like to keep prices down.”
“Of these companies I work with, the longest billing period is over half a year!”
“Take the previous Wei’s Pharmaceuticals, for the raw materials I gave him in January, he has to wait for July to settle the bill!”
“During this period, I will continue to supply the raw materials for the five months from February to June, which is equivalent to being in the hands of their family alone, which has suppressed my half-year payment for goods, and the financial pressure is extremely high.”
“However, now working with Master Wade, Master Wade has never pressured any settlement. As long as the medicinal materials supplied by me have arrived and passed the inspection, the finance will transfer the money to me immediately…”
Elder Song, who was on the side, smiled slightly and said with emotion: “You, me, and everyone, have been greatly favored by Master Wade. If it weren’t for Master Wade, we wouldn’t be in the state we are today…”
After speaking, he looked at Warnia who was chatting with Nanako and Aoxue, and exclaimed, “If it weren’t for Master Wade, Warnia and I would have died long ago, and the Song family would not have us today…”
Ito Takehiko also sighed: “Yeah! If it weren’t for Master Wade, not only would the little girl be killed by the murderer, but the Matsumoto family’s fate might have to be borne by the Ito family…”
Qin Gang hurriedly said, “Since everyone has received the favor of Master Wade, then Master will come later, we must respect him with two more cups!”
At this moment, Charlie just stepped forward under the leadership of the housekeeper. Hearing Qin Gang’s words, he smiled and said, “What? You guys are discussing it well. Do you want to drink for me all night?”
Seeing Charlie came, Qin Gang was first to stand up and respectfully said: “!! Master leaves you to come and we are when it comes to You”
Charlie smiled and said: “I heard, you said a little later I drink a few glasses to keep it?”
Qin hastily laughed: “You really want to drink a few glasses, but certainly did not want to fill you mean.”
Charlie smiled, then said to Father Song said: “Mr. Song, how have you been recently?”
Father Song nodded respectfully said: “Mr. Wade, thanks to you, my decrepit body is in very good shape.”
Charlie nodded. At this moment, Ito Takehiko beckoned to Charlie and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Wade, we meet again!”
Charlie already guessed Ito Takehiko somehow here, however, the natural surface was normal and he pretended to be very surprised and said: “Oh, it is Mr. Ito, I did not think you were here.”
Then, Charlie looks to his side and Ito, smiled and said: “Ms. Ito, and Mr. Tanaka are also here.”
Megumi Ito quickly stood up, gave a ninety bow, and said: “Hello Mr. Wade!”
Without his lower limbs, Tanaka could only put his hands together and said, “Hello, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie nodded slightly, not far from the Warnia to chat with Nanako, blushed slightly and said: “! Charlie!”
Charlie looked at Nanako, and saw that she was still soft and watery, and said with a smile: “Nanako, I have heard Warnia say that you are coming to Aurous Hill for a concert, but I didn’t expect you to come so early.”
Nanako said shyly, “Charlie, I just happened to be not that busy recently, so I wanted to take this opportunity to come to Aurous Hill to relax and take a break.”
Charlie nodded, smiled, and asked her: “how not tell me ahead of time before coming?”
Nanako pursed her mouth, and said in a low voice, “I…I…I wanted to give you a little surprise, so I didn’t say anything, please don’t be angry… “
Charlie laughed: “how could it be, but next time you may consider telling me in advance, that time I would prepare to give you a welcoming dinner.”
Nanako quickly said: “Ok, next time I will tell you in advance!”
Charlie nodded, aside Warnia said with a smile: “? Mr. Wade, do you think we do not want to take a seat now.”
“Okay.” Charlie said with a smile: “I’m sorry to let you wait for me for so long. The journey was from a bit far away. I just happened to see my father-in-law.”
Father Song then stood up, smiled, and said: “We were just talking about you, as you arrived here.”
Charlie laughed: “Mr. Song, you are the master, of course, that you have to be seated first.”
Father Song would like to shirk, but Charlie insisted: “Come, sit down at your main seat up, you are sitting next to me.”
Seeing Father Song did not refuse, quickly said: “I will follow whatever you order Mr. Wade.”
At this time, Aoxue, who had just splashed her face with cold water, also came out of the bathroom. Seeing Charlie coming, she immediately ran to the front with excitement, and said excitedly, “Master, you are here!”
Charlie looked at her and nodded and smiled: “Aoxue is also here.”
“. Yes,” Aoxue happy to say: “Nanako brought me an Akita dog, I came here to pick it.”
Then, she blushed and said: “Mr. Wade, do you want to play with it?”
Qin Gang blurted out and scolded: “Aoxue! Didn’t you see that everyone is going to eat at the table? You know you are fooling around, and sit down next to me.”
Aoxue curled her lips when she was reprimanded, and said angrily, “I know Dad…”
Charlie smiled at this time: “The dog will let the housekeeper take care of him first, and then play with him after eating.”
Father Song hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to take the dog out first.
Everyone sat down one by one.
On Charlie’s left is Mr. Song, and on his right is Ito Takehiko.
As for Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka, they were originally beaten to death and did not want to be on the table, but Charlie still kept them.
The relationship between master and servant in Japanese society is very clear. Sometimes the title of a predecessor can kill a person, but here it is relatively less rigid, and Charlie is not the kind of person who cares about these details, so he can tell them to sit together..
Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka are naturally flattered.
After everyone was seated, Mr. Song asked everyone to pour the wine. This time the wine is still the same Moutai. In the upper class, this is the most popular brand and the only choice for foreign guests and envoys at the state banquet.
Moreover, the Maotai collected by Mr. Song are almost all treasures that the rich can’t buy on the market. Just take out a bottle, and it has a history of at least 20 years.
After the servant poured white wine for everyone, Ito Takehiko couldn’t help holding up a glass, sniffed it under his nose, and exclaimed: “It really is China’s national wine! The fragrance alone is enough to be intoxicating.”
Mr. Song asked curiously: “Oh? Mr. Ito also has research on Chinese liquor?”
Takehiko Ito nodded and said earnestly: “You said, in Japan, ordinary people love beer and sake. Young people love whiskey and red wine. Some older upper-class members and members of established families My favorite is actually Huaxia’s baijiu.”
After speaking, he exclaimed: “After all, the cultures in Japan originated from China, and the wine culture is the same.”
“Old-fashioned Japanese families require their children to learn Chinese culture from an early age, so we learned from the records in historical books that ancient Chinese said that “the world’s fine wine is the only one in the world”.”
“A few decades ago, Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited China, and he also expressed this feeling.”
“When we studied Tang poetry and Song Ci, in order to find the uninhibited feeling of ancient Chinese poets, we even went to find a few cups of Chinese white wine. The hearty feeling is really nostalgic…”
Mr. Song nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right, take advantage of today’s opportunity, you must drink a few more glasses! If you like to drink, when you return to Japan, I will have someone prepare a batch for you to take back!”
Ito Takehiko said, “Thank you, Mr. Song! If Mr. Song has time, come to Japan for a few days, and I will entertain you all the time!”
Father Song smiled and said, “Okay, I must come over and disturb you if I have a chance!”
After all, he looked at Charlie and said respectfully: “Master, why don’t you have an opening remark? Let’s toast and meet each other.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You are the head of the family. If I were to say the opening remarks, wouldn’t it be overwhelming?”
Mr. Song firmly said, “You are the great benefactor of the Song family. You are here. This is your home court. We are all sitting there thanks to your care and favor. The opening remarks from you are absolutely suitable. That’s it!”
Charlie was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, “Okay!”
After all, he stood up, holding a wine glass, and said seriously: “First of all, welcome Mr. Ito and his family to Aurous Hill. I have no good impressions of most Japanese companies and entrepreneurs, but Mr. Ito still impresses me.”
“So, I also hope that Mr. Ito can cooperate more with the Song family, with the Qin family, and with JX Pharmaceutical in the future!”
“Everyone strives to achieve resource exchange, resource development, and resource symbiosis. Together, we will find more opportunities and incubate more projects.”
As soon as Charlie said this, the expressions of Old Song and Qin Gang became a little excited.
They knew that Charlie was actually helping them match up.
The Ito family is now the strongest family in Japan, and its asset scale is also trillions of yuan converted into RMB. The Song family, but just entered the 100 billion club, Qin Gang is now halfway from the threshold of the 100 billion club.
Therefore, if they can cooperate with the Ito family, it is indeed a high climb for both of them. If the Ito family really cooperates with them, it will definitely bring them more growth opportunities!
Naturally, Ito Takehiko knew Charlie’s intentions, so he said almost without hesitation: “Since Mr. Wade has said so, then our Ito family will naturally go all out to cooperate with Ms. Song and Mr. Qin!”
As he said, he looked at Warnia and said seriously: “Miss Song, have you already started cooperating with Nippon Steel? After your new project is completed and put into production, all the real estate development projects of our Ito family will purchase Song’s in addition to the products of the joint venture between us, several of our shipyards will transfer all steel orders over!”
When Warnia heard this, she was immediately stunned!
The cooperation between the Song family and Nippon Steel will focus on special steel in the future. Ito Takehiko’s words are tantamount to binding a solid high-quality large customer to the steel industry of the Song family.
In the real economy, the most important thing is to find high-quality customers. A foundry company like Foxconn can bind a company like Apple to generate tens of billions of output value in a year. Such customers are the most important resource thing in the real industry.
So, Warnia said with surprise and joy, “Mr. Ito, thank you so much!”
Takehiko Ito waved his hand and smiled: “You don’t have to be so polite. In future cooperation like this, just let Nanako directly connect with you. She will definitely give you as many resources as possible, and we will work together for a win-win situation.”
Nanako Ito took the conversation, nodded, and smiled: “Yes, Sister Warnia, we must strengthen cooperation in the future. If your Song Group wants to develop overseas, you are welcome to come to Japan for a visit, and then we can work together!”
Warnia folded her hands together and said gratefully, “Thank you very much! It just so happens that Nanako and you will be staying in Aurous Hill for many days this time. You can also take a look at some of the current industrial plans of our Song family and see if there are any projects worthy of cooperation.”
Nanako Ito nodded without hesitation and said, “It’s okay. Sister Warnia will work hard to help me introduce the current situation of the Song Group in detail!”
At this time, Ito looked at Qin Gang and said with a smile: “Mr. Qin, I don’t know what business does the Qin family do besides medicinal materials business?”
Qin Gang said hurriedly: “In fact, our previous business lines were quite complicated. In addition to medicinal materials, we also did some retail and trade businesses, including antiques, automobiles, and some heavy industrial and mining equipment.”
Ito Nodded and smiled: “I don’t know much about antiques, but if you do automobile trade and heavy industrial and mining equipment, if you need to import from Japan, you can contact me, Japanese automobile companies, and many well-known heavy industries. The bosses of the companies are very familiar with me. If they don’t cooperate, I can help you match up. If you have already cooperated, I can help you get better terms.”
When Qin Gang heard this, he immediately said excitedly: “That’s really a thank you to Mr. Ito. To be honest, we do still have a few brands that we want to cooperate with. If possible, please help us to connect.”
Ito Nodded and said with a smile: “Mr. Qin, don’t worry, I still have some face in this regard.”
After speaking, Ito looked at Charlie and said seriously: “Mr. Wade, the Su family’s ocean shipping license was revoked recently. It is definitely a good opportunity to quickly enter this field. I wonder if you are interested?”
Charlie waved his hand and said with a smile: “I don’t know anything about ocean transportation, and I don’t even have a transport ship, so I’m talking about ocean transportation.”
Ito Takehiko hurriedly said: “Mr. Wade, the ship is actually not a problem. In fact, most ocean shipping companies all over the world rent freighters and oil tankers, just like most airlines are rented. Some companies are good at operations, but not good at heavy asset management and fixed asset planning; while some companies are good at fixed asset investment but not good at operations. This is like many companies that open global chain retail stores, but generally do not choose to buy shops on their own, and those real estate developers who invest in shopping malls often only rent shops to merchants and collect rent themselves.”
“A large part of the world’s ships and airplanes are purchased by leasing companies. They usually place orders with manufacturers early. After the orders are delivered, the ships and airplanes are not enough for themselves, so they just rent them out and start collecting them. Renting makes money.”
“Now a large number of cargo ships of the Su family are idle, and many of them are leased. If they cannot resume normal operations in a short period of time, they are unable to afford so much rent. They are very likely to cancel their leases in batches. At that time, there will be a large number of freighter resources released in the market. You can eat it on a large scale, and then take the opportunity to grab the Su family’s ocean transportation business!”
When Mr. Song on the side heard this, he couldn’t help sighing: “Ocean shipping is indeed a very, very profitable industry. Now the vast majority of international trade logistics rely on shipping, so as long as the countries and countries on the earth are still working normally The ocean shipping industry will continue to grow.”
With that, he looked at Charlie, and said, “Mr. Wade, your JX Pharmaceutical now has the momentum to sell well all over the world. You might as well take this opportunity of a lifetime to start ocean transportation, and in the future, it will be important to the global logistics of JX Pharmaceutical. Transportation also helps a lot.”
Qin Gang couldn’t help but said, “Mr. Song, I have no intention of arguing with you, but Mr. Wade’s JX Pharmaceutical, which produces all medicines, is small in size and light in weight. If it is sold globally in the future, it will be shipped to one country at a time. At most two or three containers are great, but a freighter often has thousands of containers. The demand and supply are not equal…”
Mr. Song laughed and said, “Of course it is not equal to relying on JX Pharmaceutical, but have you ever thought about it, your import and export trade, your car import business, don’t you have to rely on shipping? And all you do are imported cars. In our domestic market, imported cars are nothing more than so few origins. The most recent is Japan, followed by Germany, France, Italy, and the farthest is the United States. As far as I know, one standard container can hold two cars. Imported luxury cars have a huge demand for ocean transportation!”
Qin Gang slapped his thigh and smiled: “Mr. Song can see thoroughly. I only think about Mr. Wade’s JX Pharmaceutical, but I didn’t even think about including my own business!”
Mr. Song continued: “When our joint venture with Nippon Steel is completed and put into operation, we will have a very high demand for iron ore. Iron ore is generally imported from Brazil or Australia, and a ship is loaded with more than a dozen. Ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands of tons, the demand for ocean shipping is also huge. If Mr. Wade runs ocean shipping, it will actually be good news for everyone!”
Charlie hasn’t spoken, but he couldn’t help but feel a little moved in his heart.
“JX Pharmaceutical will definitely go global in the future, but with only one JX Pharmaceutical, it will be difficult for me to catch up with the top old families like the Wade family and the Su family.”
“At the moment, when the Su family is at its weakest, why don’t I take the opportunity to grab the Su family’s business?”
“In this case, I will not only make my assets stronger but also greatly weaken the Su Family!”
“Moreover, didn’t Grandpa Zhongquan always want me to return to Wade’s house? Since he asks me, then I can ask the family not to directly compete with me in the field of ocean transportation!”
“In this way, even if the Wade family wants to take advantage of the Su family’s share, they have to step aside for me!”
“This is not two birds with one stone, but three birds with one stone!”
