After talking about the matter, Sun Zhenyi, who finally got 20% of Yahoo Japan's shares, warmly invited Xiao Qi to have lunch.
As a kind of business etiquette, having lunch together during and after the negotiation is an indispensable part.
Xiao Qi was not so pretentious. He did not say that he had a wife waiting at home, but he readily agreed.
Although Sun Zhenyi has some shortcomings, he can be regarded as his ally in Japan, and there is not much conflict of interest between the two.
And Xiao Qi can crush him without any pressure no matter in terms of assets, power or influence, so this kind of cooperation is relatively reliable.
Therefore, this face must be given.
Sun Zhenyi decided to go to a nearby izakaya.
Although it is only an izakaya, this "Karasawaya" has been passed down for 120 years. It has been here since its opening. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, it is now the fifth generation.
They never care about the Michelin star rating, they only accept reservations. According to Sun Zhenyi, if he hadn't been a senior diner here, he would have had to make a reservation three months in advance.
Even so, Sun Zhenyi made an appointment a week in advance.
As the richest man in Japan, he actually has to make a reservation a week in advance for meals. This shows how awesome this izakaya is.
"Karasawa House" is a small courtyard. In a city like Tokyo where high-rise buildings and one-story single-family houses intersect, such courtyards are not uncommon, but they look very ordinary from the outside.
Xiao Qicai walked in and saw that it was full of cherry blossoms. It was almost the cherry blossom season in Tokyo, and the budding cherry blossoms were standing on the branches. If you look closely, you can see that there are at least ten varieties, which are colorful and very colorful.
It's good-looking.
There are only two small buildings and a few rooms in the courtyard. Sun Zhenyi said that the place only accepts reservations for two tables at noon and evening every day, and will never receive more guests. This is to provide the guests with the best and most relaxed dining environment.
Sun Zhenyi is really proud of being able to grab a reservation for both tables.
Two very beautiful girls in kimonos were already waiting at the door. After a while of Japanese etiquette, the two women walked in front of them with small and elegant steps, matching the cherry blossom trees and bluestone pavement. It had a very ancient charm.
.
Xiao Qi looked at it and nodded slightly in admiration. Although Japan and China have become enemies, it is undeniable that their traditional culture has been passed down. However, China's traditional culture is considered by many idiots to be dross and they can't wait to throw it all away.
Fall out, and then run into the arms of American daddy.
In fact, in terms of elegance and beauty, Eastern etiquette is very intoxicating.
It's just that the image of China's ancient culture, in the eyes of many people, is all the disgusting affairs of the country. Naturally, people don't like it.
Even Japan, which inherited the culture of China's Tang Dynasty, is so pleasing to the eye. If the ancient inheritance of the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties were restored, it would definitely have indescribable wonderful customs.
Thoughts flashed by, Xiao Qi and Sun Zhenyi, led by the kimono girls, entered the dining room made of tatami mats. This Japanese-style building occupies a small house. The inside is only more than 30 square meters, but it looks like
It is very exquisite. Because the paper door is opened, the scenery on both sides can be seen. The cherry blossom trees are unobstructed.
"Please wait a moment." The two women knelt on the ground, said softly, then stood up and left.
"They don't let customers order their own dishes here. The chefs cook different dishes according to the seasons." Sun Zhenyi said with a smile, "But they have never disappointed. You can try Qishao later."
"
"Eating, for me, is a relaxing thing. Too many rules and etiquettes are too formal and ignore the most basic requirement of filling one's stomach." Xiao Qidao, "Actually, when it comes to eating,
I like the directness of America. If it weren’t for President Sun’s hospitality, I think it would be good for me to have a bowl of beef rice bowl.”
"Haha, I usually eat work meals, which is a set meal. But enjoying delicious food is also one of the great joys of life." Sun Zhenyi said, "Although the etiquette is a bit complicated, compared to the food you can enjoy here,
That’s not worth mentioning.”
While the two were talking, the two girls in kimonos walked in neatly, each holding a black box in their hands.
There are small plates and bowls placed on the box. The colors are not very bright, but have a simple taste.
"Here are the appetizers, please take your time." The two women placed the bowls and small plates in sequence, and then left gently.
Xiao Qi picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the pickled radish. It was crunchy in his mouth and had a sweet taste, which was quite good.
Then I took a small spoon and scooped out a piece of snow-white tofu, but it melted in my mouth. Apart from the smooth and tender texture of the tofu itself, there was no other taste at all.
"Not bad!" The young man nodded.
"Haha, the main dish later will be even better." Sun Zhenyi ate slowly and methodically, obviously very suitable for this kind of taste.
For Xiao Qi, this kind of light and nutritious food is good to eat regularly.
But Sun Zhenyi didn't know that Xiao Qi's Fairy Canteen already had several chefs who had returned from Japan. They either worked in five-star hotels or were trained in such old restaurants that were more than 100 years old.
In modern times, what is most commendable about Chinese people, and what is most hated by people in Europe and America, is their learning ability.
No matter what kind of high-end technology, or ordinary food, clothing, housing and transportation design, skills, etc., as long as Chinese people learn it, there is rarely anything they can't learn.
This is especially true when it comes to cooking.
Chinese cuisine has a long history. It can basically call itself the best in the world without exaggeration, and there are endless super chefs.
These chefs who went to Japan to study have a good foundation in China. In addition, after working hard in Japan for several years or more than ten years, they naturally have a deep understanding of the essence of Japanese cuisine.
Therefore, Xiao Qi also eats some light Japanese food on weekdays. Including his wives, what they ate most during pregnancy was not the stewed hooves and chicken that Chen Yulian gave them, but well-cooked Japanese food - undercooked food.
.Those Japanese aunts didn’t force Xiao Qi’s wives to eat either.
However, the Japanese food at "Karasawaya" is indeed good. It cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, but it is definitely delicious. There are many styles, but it does not feel cumbersome at all. Every dish served includes simple ingredients.
The dishes and condiments all have unique flavors.
No wonder you have to make a reservation a month in advance.
It would be unforgivable for a Japanese restaurant that puts so much effort into making delicious food not to become prosperous.
After finishing the meal, it was already half past one in the afternoon, and an hour and a half had passed before he knew it, but Xiao Qi did not feel very full.
This is also very normal.
A real high-end restaurant is definitely not about filling you up. It is about allowing you to taste the delicious food on your tongue and experience the fun brought by the food. This is the most important thing.
The two of them opened the door and walked out of the room. Unexpectedly, a few meters away, another small Japanese-style building also opened the door, and several middle-aged men also walked out of it.
"Huh?"
The people on both sides looked at each other and were surprised.
"President Sun?"
"Mr. Xiao!?"
"Mr. Gao Chuan?"
The person on the opposite side is headed by one of the actual controlling families of Sony, the current patriarch of the Gaochuan family, Gaokawa Teruki.
He and Masahiro Morita represent Sony's final will.
The most important thing is that Gao Chuan Terushu always maintains goodwill towards Xiao Qi.
In the last discussion about whether Sony should go to the Android camp or the RE camp, Masahiro Morita wanted to break up with Xiao Qi, but Teruki Takagawa insisted on sticking to his promise.
In the end, when the situation was over, Gao Chuan Teru Shu still tried to hand over Ericsson's patents and authorizations to Xiao Qi as promised. He really did Xiao Qi a favor.
Xiao Qi always kept this favor in his heart.
If the person he met today was Morita Masanobu, Xiao Qi would leave without even looking at him.
With the power he has today, a mere Shengtian Masahiro is nothing at all. Xiao Qi gave him a look. Shengtian Masahiro had to wait with a smile.
The person he met was Gao Chuan Huishu, and Xiao Qi walked over with a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand actively and said, "Mr. Gao Chuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You still have the same style."
Gao Chuan Terushu was obviously a little uncomfortable with Xiao Qi's enthusiasm, and it could be said that he was a little flattered.
Today's Xiao Qi is no longer the cutting-edge talented businessman who came to Sony for cooperation a year or two ago. Instead, he is a man who has become the richest man in the world with a fortune of US$500 billion, an unprecedented figure in the world.
Xiao Qi's personal wealth is equivalent to the sum of the next 20 super-rich people.
In fact, some people even said that according to normal valuation, Xiao Qi's wealth should be the sum of the remaining 49 richest people in the world's top 50.
Such an amazingly talented person, who had had conflicts with Sony before, was actually so kind to him. Even though Takakawa Teruki came from an extraordinary background, he was a little surprised.
After sighing, Gao Chuan Terushu quickly stretched out his hands and held Xiao Qi's hand tightly, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your unprecedented success!"
"Mr. Gao Chuan, you're welcome." Xiao Qi smiled slightly, "I didn't expect to see you today. It seems we are destined."
"Yes! It's destined!" Gao Chuan Terusu's mind was spinning and he said immediately, "I don't know if Mr. Xiao has time. I would like to buy you a cup of coffee."
He will seize the opportunity.
Xiao Qi smiled brightly, "I already have arrangements for today. If Mr. Gao Chuan is free, let's go out for a cup of tea tomorrow afternoon!"
"good!"
Gao Chuan Terusu smiled from ear to ear.
Even the group of subordinates behind him had happy faces.
If we can cooperate with Xiao Qi again, it will definitely be a timely help for Sony!! (To be continued)
