Golden Fishery

It was still Xi Cunling who came to pick Qin Shiou and Butler.

I don't know what time he got home last night, but today he went to work normally and was full of energy. Qin Shiou had to admire the Japanese's diligence and tolerance. It is said that Tokyo is the city in the world that exercises people's ability to resist stress, and it seems that it is indeed a well-deserved reputation.

After receiving the two at the gate of the building, Nishimura Ryo enthusiastically led them into the president's office.

Qin Shiou remembered that Nishimura Ryo was the president's assistant, and thought that this position was very high, so he should hang out around the president's office, but when he entered the president's office, he found that was not the case, and Nishimura Ryo went to the office of the personnel department.

Butler saw that he was a little curious and asked what was going on. Qin Shiou said something, and the bearded man smiled: "When receiving external parties, the employees of the personnel department can call themselves the assistant to the president."

Qin Shiou nodded in a sudden realization, and saluted him face-to-face.

Needless to say, the strength of Kiyomura Co., Ltd. can be seen from the size of their president's office. It is remarkable to have an office of more than 100 square meters in Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive.

The decoration of the office is simple and elegant. There are stickers of rare fish such as bluefin tuna and American eel on the walls. There is a model of a fishing boat and a vertical photo frame on the table, which should be photos of the president and his family. In addition, a corner of the office was arranged to look like a golf course. Obviously, the president is an avid golf enthusiast.

When Qin Shiou and Butler entered the office, there was no one there, but then someone opened the door and came in. He was a middle-aged man of about 1.7 meters, wearing recent glasses, with a slightly fat body, and always had a faint smile on his face.

See Qin Shiou and Butler. The middle-aged man made a 90-degree bow with a snap, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Qin Sang, welcome to my company as a guest. I am Kota Tezuka, please take care of me in the future."

Kota Tezuka spoke English very well. Qin Shiou praised him when he shook hands with him, and the latter smiled slightly: "It's an honor to receive your compliment. I spent my college days in London, so I also lived in London. I have worked hard on English."

After getting to know each other and sat down, Kota Tezuka made tea for the two of them himself. After some complicated movements, he handed a small crystal cup to Qin Shiou. Said: "Qin Sang laughed at the fact that tea art is not good. But the tea should be pretty good, the best Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, please taste it."

Usually there is nothing to do in the villa, Qin Shiou is also learning how to taste tea. There are a lot of good teas in Mao Weilong's home and workplace, so I mail some to him if I have nothing to do. Yesterday, Wei Ni gave Xi Cunling a box of Huangshan Maofeng as a gift.

Qin Shiou took a sip and then praised: "The president's craftsmanship is superb, this tea is really fragrant with sweet-scented osmanthus, if it is enjoyed in the golden autumn season, it must be a very beautiful thing."

Hearing what he said, Tezuka Kota's eyes lit up, he laughed and said: "Qin Sang is really a friend with a sense of humor, if it is possible in autumn. Kota hopes you can visit Tezuka's house as a guest, and let me make a bubble for you again with my own hands. Serve a cup of Dahongpao."

Among other things, the Japanese face-to-face etiquette is indeed the ultimate. Takata Tezuka entertained Qin Shiou in the same way, and he couldn't find any problems.

Today's focus is on that big tuna. Tezuka Kota expressed his determination to take this fish, saying that even now everyone agrees not to speculate on the price of tuna. Still, the fish is expected to fetch more than $2 million at auction.

The three of them chatted, and the topic was always about tuna. Soon at noon, Tezuka Kota invited Qin Shiou and Butler to have lunch together, and took them to visit Tsukiji Market in the afternoon. The tuna auction will officially start the day after tomorrow.

Since noon was not a regular meal, Kota Tezuka invited them to a simple meal in the company cafeteria. Qin Shiou ate an authentic udon noodles paired with oden, which tasted very good.

In the afternoon, I visited the Tsukiji Market, and Qin Shiou learned about it before.

The market is located at Shinjuku 2-chome. It is one of the central wholesale markets in Tokyo. It covers an area of ​​230,000 square meters and is divided into many areas, selling crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and various fishes.

Of course, in addition to dealing with seafood, the market also has fruits and vegetables, chicken, eggs, pickles and various processed foods. Tsukiji Market is the largest seafood market in Japan and the second largest farmers' market in Tokyo after Ota Market.

When we arrived at the gate of the market by car, the first thing we entered was a huge stone tablet, engraved with the words 'とうきょうとちゅうおうおろしうりしじょう', which has a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes.

Qin Shiou reached out and touched the stone tablet, and Takata Tezuka said proudly: "Qin Sang, you are now in contact with the Edo period! The characters on this stone tablet were carved by the most legendary old man Yinyu in the fish market at that time. I have seen many changes in this market, and I have seen the Great Kanto Earthquake, which is the symbol of this market!"

Tsukiji Market was not originally located in Shinjuku, but the original site was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and later the Tokyo government moved it here.

Kota Tezuka is very respectable in the Tsukiji Market. After he got off the car, everyone who passed by nodded to him. When he walked in from the main entrance, a tall and burly man greeted him warmly, and laughed: "Xiaota, you guy recently Where did you hide it? I haven't seen you for a month, make an appointment, we want to have a drink!"

Kota Tezuka nodded and said yes, then introduced Qin Shiou, and said, "Today I am here to accompany a friend to visit our market, so go get busy first."

The burly man showed a suddenly realized expression, bowed to Qin Shiou and Butler, and said welcome repeatedly.

Butler introduced to Qin Shiou: "The Tsukiji Market is managed by 8 wholesalers and about 1,000 middlemen. Mr. Tezuka is one of the eight wholesalers."

Qin Shiou immediately praised Tezuka Kota, and at the same time, doubts emerged in his heart. This Tezuka Kota is worth at least a billion dollars. He is a well-deserved big shot in the seafood market. Why is he so enthusiastic about him?

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Qin Shiou doesn't believe that the Japanese are so hospitable.

There are various stalls in Tsukiji Market, and many people are shopping. Kota Tezuka said that there are many tourists from all over the world here. Now Tsukiji Market is also a good tourist attraction in Tokyo.

Following Kota Tezuka, Qin Shiou went straight to the fish market.

On the periphery of the fish market, the paper lanterns of Inari Shrine are also lit during the day. Most of the names of famous Japanese companies and seafood distributors are printed on the lanterns. The name of Kiyo Village Co., Ltd. is translated into Chinese, Japanese, English, French and Russian. written on a lantern.

There are many large posters posted on one wall of the fish market, one of which shows a photo of Kota Tezuka and a big bluefin tuna.

Qin Shiou went over to take a look. There was an introduction on it. This was the first photo taken at the 2013 auction. At that time, Kiyomura Co., Ltd. took a 220-kilogram king fish, and the final transaction price was 2.4 million US dollars! (to be continued...)
