74 Drunkenness
Watching Lonnie and his two assistants drive away, Ai Fei burped: "Hey, will you go back now?"
"Is there anything else to order?"
"No. I just wanted to find someone to have another drink. Go to the Whale Fish once and taste the sake I placed there. How about it?"
Fuji Takeuchi smiled: "What you want to go, what you want to go. I just want to enjoy the comfort of a Mercedes-Benz again."
"Then let's go."
In 1950, driving a dark but new Mercedes-Benz on the streets of Tokyo, the attention it received was definitely no less than that of later generations driving a tank on the streets. Ai Fei was very proud: "Fuji-kun, wait one day? When the business of the school club reaches a certain level, everyone will have the ability to buy the same Mercedes-Benz! Well, the same car may be a bit difficult, so reduce the requirements and change it to a car of the same brand."
"Is it really OK?" Fuji turned his body in surprise, his eyes glowing in the darkness: "Are you talking about Mercedes-Benz?"
"Of course it's true." Ai Fei looked straight ahead: "I won't lie in such a thing. Ah, we're here."
The two of them walked out of the car, and the male owner Nagasaki who was standing at the door was in charge of welcoming guests, with their eyes wide open until Ai Fei walked to him and reacted: "Ah! Welcome!... Hey? It's you? It's been a long time since we saw you."
"Yes. Why, should you welcome guests here on such a cold day?"
"Hi Yi Hi Yi! There's no way...ah, sorry, how could you say such things to the guests?" Nagasaki smiled and said, "Please come in quickly."
"Well, my car, please take care of it."
"Hi Yi Hi Yi!"
"Ah! You are here? Long time no see, are you okay?"
Ai Fei smiled and said, "Very good, thank you Mrs. Yingzi for your concern. Well, you are getting more and more beautiful!" I don't know what happened, but every time I get here, he always teases the beautiful boss lady: "Is the business okay?"
"Where is it! It's not your blessing. Oh, is this person..."
"My colleague, Fuji-kun..."
He introduced the two of them to each other and sat down in a corner against the wall: "Boss, do you have any good recommendations?"
"Hi Yi! There are cod farm crabs that just arrived from Hokkaido, very fresh."
"Where are two wines? Or drink the sake I put here last time...save, should there be some?"
"Hi! I'll let you go well."
"That's it. I'll call you again when needed."
"Then, I won't bother you."
Soon, the crabs and sake were all served in need. In this cold winter season, drinking warm sake, tasting fresh crabs, and dipping them in seasonings with minced ginger aroma. Well, compared to the roasted pigs I ate at Ali Lan just now, it is a completely different flavor.
Japan is an island country, and the taste of this seafood is also famous all over the world. Ai Fei used small scissors to cut the big crab claws - this is really big claws, three or four times larger than the crabs eaten in later generations - the hard shell on them, beautifully pick out the white meat inside and put it in your mouth, feeling this natural sweet fragrance. How can you say it is so cool?!
With a satisfied sigh, Ai Fei put down his wine glass: "It's still Hokkaido's crabs are the best delicious in the world!"
"Hi Yi!" Fuji nodded with a smile: "For your blessing, can I enjoy such deliciousness?"
"There are opportunities in the future."
"Mr. President, I have a question, I hope you can get your answer."
“What is it?”
"Why do you have to order a Mercedes-Benz from Italians? Can't Japanese cars meet your requirements?"
Ai Fei sighed. Fuji Takeuchi is a talent, but due to the limitations of the times, his vision is still not that far away!" Fujikun, what principles would you follow when looking for partners as a manager or the president of a company?"
"Eh? If it were me who chose..." Fuji unconsciously put down his wine glass and began to think: "I will choose companies with good records in the company's operations and companies with certain financial capabilities."
"That's it. As a partner of this company, you can get an intuitive impression of the company's operations through their finance, taxation and other related documents, but are their financial capabilities? You will never go to the bank to check their bank deposit records, right? So, to a large extent, a car that surpasses the times and exceeds everyone's expectations will have an excellent deterrent effect! If it were me, if I were to see my possible partner driving a car like this to negotiate with me, I might not have too many problems with his financial capabilities. Of course, this is just a preliminary impression, more specific, and it needs to be considered. What I am talking about now is just an extreme situation."
"I understand!" Fuji Takeuchi nodded in conscience: "It is an honor to be able to get teachings from the President."
"There is no need to be so exaggerated." Ai Fei smiled disdainfully: "Fujijun, do you have any opinions on your work next year?"
Fuji Takeuchi thought about it: "This is a question... Mr. President, which aspect do you refer specifically?"
“In addition to the production and publishing of comics, there are other things like the advertising department, the public relations department, and the real estate department that is about to begin.”
"Real Estate Department?"
"This is a department I am planning to establish. The main task is what I have told you that, throughout the city, as many lands or homeless houses that have not been noticed yet but are likely to appreciate in the future."
"Oh. I understand." Fuji Takeuchi nodded: "In addition to the advertising department I am currently in charge, I don't understand the work of other departments, especially the real estate department you mentioned. I believe you have already made some preparations and need your guidance in this regard. I can only talk about my immature views on the advertising department."
"...Today, I mean, so far, the work of the Advertising Department has improved a lot compared to before the President took office. However, there is still a big difference from what I think can be called a perfect advertising department operation. First of all, for several months, advertising fees have been in an increase period, but they only remain at a monthly increase of one million yuan. I once asked about it when chatting with Mr. Hasegawa. He was not very clear about the approximately advertising fee income of Asahi Shimbun. However, it is almost certain that the monthly income exceeds tens of millions of yen - even for a layman like him, this is simply too obvious. The guys in the Advertising Department have their nostrils."
Ai Fei burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! The nostrils are all facing the sky? So vivid!"
But Fuji Takeuchi didn't laugh, just looked at this boss who was much younger than him: "…………”
"Sorry, you continue."
"Yes. So I think, based on the schoolchildren's club... I'm sorry, I'm wrong. It should be "jump schoolchildren's cartoon club". With the sales of more than 800,000 copies per month, the advertising fee must be such a number. No! It should be higher! It must reach about 20 million yen per month to satisfy me! Haha... In your opinion, is this a very proud and ridiculous dream?"
"No. Fuji-kun, you were wrong. This is definitely not a dream." Ai Fei also put down his glass: "Maybe Sakai-kun once told you that I don't have many requirements for my subordinates, but one thing is certain, that is, the future employees of the school children's club must have absolute self-confidence. Become the first-class in Japan. No, I will correct it. It is a member of the best comic club in Japan! Otherwise, it is better to find a way out. It doesn't mean to delay others and delay others. Therefore, I not only do not think that what you say is ridiculous, but also appreciate your arrogance!"
"..." Fuji Takeuchi was a little moved. He turned over and knelt on the tatami, bowed deeply: "Very... thank you!"
"Don't do such actions with me!" Ai Fei interrupted him unwillingly. Facing Fuji's puzzled eyes, he waved his hand irritably: "I said that I admire you very much, but I definitely do not appreciate your bow and express gratitude to me. It's your thoughts and work. If your work cannot satisfy me, believe me, Fuji-kun, I have no favors to you! I will throw you out of my company like throwing away a worn rag!"
Fuji straightened her body: "It seems that I can only work hard to avoid being thrown away like a rag?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After eating two meals in a row, he fed a large bottle of sake. It was fine in the restaurant. As soon as he walked out, he was blown by the cold night wind, Ai Fei felt that he was drunk and even couldn't stand steadily: "…?"
"Mr. President... are you nothing?"
"No... nothing." Ai Fei also felt that he was drinking a little too much, and his feet were a little floating: "It's okay!" He secretly hated himself for being useless: Why don't he even have such a little self-control? It's so fucking damn!
"Mr. President?"
"I'm fine!" Forced himself to wake up, he got into the car, his fingers moving around the gear, but he couldn't catch fire: "Damn it, is the new car broken?"
"Mr. President, it seems you should have put the key in it?"
"Oh, yes." Ai Fei glanced out: "Hey, why are you still here? Let's go quickly?"
“Eh?”
