Age of Dreams

() While recalling the scenes of parting, Xiao Qi had already boarded an All-Air plane, crossed the Pacific Ocean again, and headed to Japan, an island country in East Asia.

Regardless of past or present, Xiao Qi has never set foot on the land of Japan.

The previous history naturally made Xiao Qi dislike Japan very much, but he also knows that Japan has built its own country very beautifully, at least there will be no so many messy things in China in the future, even CCTV painstakingly "finding a "Swimming rivers" are almost nowhere to be found, and Japan's crystal-clear rivers are everywhere.

When he arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo eleven hours later, it was already ten o'clock in the evening on Friday, April 30th, Tokyo time.

The person who came to greet Xiao Qi was Bao Lijie, Deputy Manager of the Assets Business Department of Citibank Japan Head Office.

Xiao Qi selected Citibank as his investment and contract assistant in Japan.

The amount involved, etc., is also transferred through Citibank, which is equivalent to Citibank's left hand for right hand, so that they have made a fortune for nothing, and the cash flow has not flowed out of Citibank. Citibank puts this model Often referred to as perfect functioning.

Xiao Qi didn't care that Citibank made money, because although he had a cash flow of more than 20 billion yuan in Huaguo, he would be a wealthy family in any country, but in Japan, he didn't have much reputation at all.

No matter which country you do business in, strength and connections are very important.

So Xiao Qi relied on Citibank's contacts and reputation in Japan, and asked them to prove and guarantee for him, so that the clubs in Japan would not doubt Xiao Qi's strength. willing to cooperate with him.

Bao Lijie is a Caucasian man in his forties, not to mention tall, but also very strong, with a very cheerful personality. When he saw Xiao Qi, he gave him a bear hug.

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, Tony and I are good friends. He told me about your great achievements a long time ago! I can assure you that you are the next Bill Gates!" Bao Lijie praised Xiao Qi without capital, with a face A sincere face appeared on the face.

But as a futuristic catchphrase goes. If you are serious, then you lose.

Don't look at the simple and honest appearance of the Americans, they seem to be honest, but they actually have a lot of ghost ideas, especially the thieves of these banks, who are even better at pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

Everything they do is just to achieve their own goals.

Realizing this, Xiao Qi kept smiling, in fact. He didn't take Bao Lijie's compliments to heart either: "Mr. Bao Lijie, you are too much, if there is such a day, it will be everyone's help and support!"

The two chatted and laughed and got into the special car of Citibank, all the way from Chiba, where the airport is located, to Tokyo.

Walking on the road, Xiao Qi discovered that the roads in Japan are so narrow, it is already very good to have two lanes on the left and right, most of the roads are just one lane on the left and right.

When asked Bao Lijie, he replied: "Japan is small. And because the island country has many hills, it is a great achievement to level the road... Don't think there is only one lane, but there is still traffic in Japan. Not too much, especially on the roads between cities, unless it is a holiday, it is not easy to be congested."

Xiao Qi nodded. As you can see along the way just now, Ri's cars are very well-behaved, and the speed is very well-proportioned, as long as there are no accidents. Usually, one lane is enough.

Tokyo is known as the second largest city in the world, after New York.

After entering the core area of ​​Tokyo's 23rd district, Xiao Qi discovered that compared to New York, Tokyo is actually not bad at all.

In the crowded city, high-rise buildings stand everywhere, neon lights shine everywhere, and there is a modern atmosphere everywhere.

The men and women walking on the street are very fashionable and generous, and in addition to the summer, seeing the beauties under the lights are very cool, which is quite a visual enjoyment.

But Xiao Qi's attention was not on the outside, but on his scheduled itinerary.

Citibank is one of the oldest banks in the United States. Before World War I, it had already entered Japan to do business. After World War II, it gained a firm foothold in Japan and expanded rapidly. Now it has become a Japanese commercial bank Fifth point.

Therefore, their contacts are very rich. When Xiao Qi was in New York, he told Citibank about his itinerary and negotiation intentions, and asked them to send people to contact several Japanese companies first, so as to avoid himself coming After Japan, I started to have trouble contacting the club.

"Asahi Kasei Microelectronics has already contacted you. At nine o'clock on Monday morning, their representative and director, Mr. Saito, will meet with you; Elpida's president, Mr. Inoue, will meet on Monday afternoon; Hoya Optical's Mr. Suzuki had a meeting on Tuesday morning... After completing these, we met with Panasonic, Rili, Toshiba, and Ricoh, and we made appointments with their senior executives, and the time was also written on this timetable."

Bao Lijie talked eloquently, and he had completely fulfilled the meetings Xiao Qi requested. In this regard, Citibank's power of action and influence were as powerful as in the legend.

You know, it is definitely not a simple matter to meet the main figures of these large and super-large clubs in Japan, but it only takes about a week, and Citibank can do it completely. related to the foundation.

Xiao Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Has the cash of 200 million U.S. dollars I asked for before arrived?"

"Don't worry, Citibank operates globally. There is no problem with this amount of funds." Bao Lijie nodded, "As long as you reach an agreement, the funds will be transferred to their accounts immediately."

"thanks."

Xiao Qi smiled slightly. He liked the efficiency of this kind of private company very much. Compared with the efficiency of the government, it was not twice as good. No matter which country in the world, the efficiency of the government was very low. .

"Next, for Mr. Xiao's itinerary in Japan, we will have someone from Citibank to accompany him. Let's see which one you like." Bao Lijie took out another folder and handed it to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and opened the folder to see a photo and resume of a beautiful woman.

"Reiko Miura..."

The boy read her name, and then opened the second page, another petite beauty's photo and resume continued to appear in his eye sockets.

I browsed through all the folders, and inside the folders were all the information of the beautiful employees of the Investment Department of Citibank Tokyo Branch, but Xiao Qi felt rather strange, like an ancient emperor who flopped his cards to choose his concubine.
