Chapter 18 Asakusa Kid
Chapter 18 The Asakusa boy
"But Torataro, you just reminded me, wait for Ishikawa to make two more trips and stabilize. We'd better find a few second-hand shops to talk."
"Hey, isn't it nice here in Ishikawa?"
"It's good, but you have to be aware of risks when doing business."
Seeing that Torataro was still a little confused, Shirakawa Kaede had to explain to him what mixed sales behavior was and what risk sharing was.
Selling products to only one customer for a long time is a high-risk behavior.
Shirakawa Kaede and Ishikawa Masaaki have not signed a transaction contract. If Ishikawa Masaaki wants to lower the price or simply refuses to accept the goods in the future, what will they do? Who will sell these second-hand electrical appliances to?
Re-searching for sales channels will take a lot of time and labor costs, which is not worth it. So now that you are aware of it, why not make preparations in advance to avoid risks.
Shirakawa Kaede also deliberately tested Ishikawa Masaaki in the previous transaction, and it was obvious that what he sold must have considerable profits for him. Otherwise, he would not have so readily increased the price by four percentage points.
Of course, Shirakawa Kaede accepted the offer as soon as it was good and did not deliberately embarrass Masaaki Ishikawa. Even though he achieved his purpose of testing, he also indirectly reminded Masaaki Ishikawa that he had no shortage of sales here.
Having said all this, there is no way to do business without some routines.
"Next time when we go to talk about other antique stores, Torataro, you go and talk."
Kitano Takeshi and Kaneko Jiro looked at each other, and then laughed.
Shirakawa Kaede reminded Torataro to wipe the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth, and before the latter could react, he quickly walked into an izakaya called "Akamatsuya".
Kitano Takeshi smiled and said to Torataro, "Boy, you are indeed our loyal audience."
"Forget it, since I have met the juniors from the same school and the loyal audience, I will treat you to a drink today."
"Well, Senior Brother Kitano is quite famous among our seniors at Meiji University." Shirakawa Kaede explained honestly.
His companion quickly followed up, first smiled apologetically at Shirakawa Kaede and the others, and then sat down opposite the man.
Kaneko Jiro, who was traveling with Kitano Takeshi, also looked at Torataro with a smile. He also wanted to know what their combination was like in the eyes of the audience.
"Huh?" The round-faced man's expression, which was about to explode, relaxed, "Do you know me?"
"It's not important." Takeshi Kitano waved his hand, "Meiji University is just too boring sometimes, but it's quite suitable for you kid."
Bai Chuanfeng waved his hand, "Try them all!"
He said he didn't mind, and when Bai Chuanfeng raised his head, everyone had already sat down.
"Okay" Torataro scratched his head somewhat unconfidently.
"Oh, Brother Kitano, I am Shirakawa Kaede, and he is Tora Taro." Shirakawa Kaede quickly introduced himself.
Although it wasn't dinner time yet, there were already many customers. Shirakawa Kaede looked around and saw only one table left, so he and Torataro sat down and started ordering.
Torataro rubbed his hands excitedly, looked at the two of them and said, "It's very vulgar and obscene, but of course it's also refreshing and funny. I like it."
"Anyway, there is absolutely no doubt about Senior Brother Kitano's comic art." Regardless of whether he is familiar with it or not, Bai Chuanfeng first flattered him.
"As for you, kid..." Kitano Takeshi looked at Shirakawa Kaede and paused.
Those kinds of sashimi sushi that I had only seen on the Internet in my previous life are now clearly on the menu in my hand. This makes Shirakawa Kaede feel more real about the Showa where I am now.
He squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows~
"Bei Ye...senior brother?" Bai Chuanfeng swallowed the last word "武" and changed it to "senior brother".
Short perm and shorts are almost the standard outfit for girls, but Shirakawa Kaede and Torataro just lingered on the street for nearly two hours, and it wasn't until it got late that they were ready to eat the high-end cuisine they said.
Shirakawa Kaede was shocked when she heard Torataro's answer, and secretly felt a little sweat for him.
The awkward first dinner in Tokyo made him refuse to mention the word eel for a long time. Now that he has taken the initiative to talk about it, he seems to have understood what the word "Tokyo" means.
"Isn't tuna too expensive, or should I just eat eels?" When Torataro was mentioned about eating, he also became interested, but he was still thinking about eels.
"I watch every issue of Kitano-san and Kaneko-san's "Hilarious Collection"." At this time, Torataro, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
There are many legends on campus about this legendary senior brother.
Kitano Takeshi sneered, "It's probably because of his reputation as a negative teaching material."
Suddenly he saw that the long table in Bai Chuanfeng's place was relatively spacious, and he went straight here without hesitation.
"Ah?" Torataro was stunned, "Xiao Feng, you know me, I can move my fist faster than my head..."
Bai Chuanfeng wanted to say that they were still underage.
"Hey, kid. You don't mind if we sit here."
While the two were waiting for their meal, two customers came into the shop again.
This is also the reason why Shirakawa Kaede didn't recognize him at first sight. Who knew Kitano Takeshi had bangs? Can you imagine what that image looks like.
Torataro followed and giggled.
Takeshi Kitano was in his senior year at Meiji University, but he failed to graduate because he did not have enough credits. However, he did not want to retake the credits and simply dropped out of school. After that, he became famous as a manga artist on TV shows, especially these two
His reputation has skyrocketed over the years.
Bai Chuanfeng was stunned, this senior brother Kitano is really special.
The store is not big, but the decoration style is very historical and unique.
He ordered the tuna, eel, and various snacks mentioned before. Unfortunately, he couldn't drink. Torataro kept swallowing secretly when he saw others drinking. It seemed that he drank a lot at home.
They looked to be in their thirties and were wearing very formal black suits, but their collars were casually open.
Shirakawa Kaede smiled and said, "Let's go, let's eat tuna sashimi today. I've never tasted such high-end cuisine."
Well, the leg shapes of neon girls are not all basket-like legs. Some of them are needle-like.
"Then put your fists away and try to use your brain more." Seeing that Torataro was still a little dazed, Shirakawa Kaede patted the latter's shoulder, "Just give it a try, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, just practice it."
"Oh?" Kitano Takeshi glanced at the crude Torataro and became interested, "Boy, why don't you tell us how our performance went?"
When the round-faced man saw Bai Chuanfeng staring at him, he thought Bai Chuanfeng was unhappy with them sitting down.
One of the round-faced ones was cursing and looking around the store. When he saw that there were customers at every table, he frowned subconsciously.
Bai Chuanfeng looked at the round-faced man diagonally across from his deskmate and felt that he looked familiar.
What surprised Shirakawa Kaede the most is that Kitano Takeshi is not the common cropped image in later generations. Instead, he is wearing a black suit and has a very professional hairstyle, and he even has bangs?!
This man with a round face and a spirited appearance is the famous Takeshi Kitano.
At this time, half of his face was not injured, and he looked very expressive.
Great!
The time is about to enter May, and as the weather gets warmer, the girls on the streets of Akihabara are wearing cooler and cooler clothes. Because of the dy trend, their clothes are also the objects of imitation by girls.
However, according to Kitano Takeshi's character, he would definitely mock him severely when he heard this sentence.
The fact is that Takeshi Kitano did not allow them to refuse. As soon as he finished speaking, he had already shouted to the waiter to serve drinks.
After a while, the table was filled with wine. I originally planned to treat myself to a dinner with Torataro. But when Kitano Takeshi and others appeared, the style completely changed.
thanks for your support!
