Chapter 29: Otsu Yū's Thoughts
The typhoon has passed, got up early to code ~ finally finished writing a chapter, it's coming out soon!
=====================
"Rrrrr..." As the plane landed, Otsu Jun felt like his head was going to explode. But he still managed a weak smile with Nelson beside him, and after the plane came to a stop, he slowly unfastened his seatbelt and disembarked.
Otsu Jun is the Branch Manager of Tokyo Bay Holdings Co., Ltd. in Japan, who has been responsible for the business in China since last year. In fact, Tokyo Bay had contact with Chinese side since 1972.
However, the transactions between the two sides were mostly limited to raw materials and some mechanical fields at that time, but Wan Hong was a comprehensive business firm. Their business area is not limited to machinery and other fields.
"Hahaha……Mr. Otsu, are you okay?!" Nelson asked with a smile, while the latter slightly bowed to Nelson and replied: "Yes, Mr. Nelson. Thank you for your concern, I'm fine now."
Otsu Yoshihito was originally going back to report on his work, and at that time Nelson happened to be inquiring about the sales situation of agricultural products. So he got in touch with the sales manager of the agricultural machinery department on the Bay Huang side.
But then he heard that Nelson could find green agricultural products in China, and Dai Yun, who was worried about how to introduce some products from China to break the passive situation of his own company in China, suddenly became interested.
If it were an ordinary Chinese person coming to talk to Otsu Yunosuke, he might not have any interest. But if that person were a manager of Caterpillar Inc., then Otsu would be very interested.
At that time, there were not many people taking the plane. Otsu Yuka and Nelson quickly walked out of the small airport. Outside the airport, Liang Sanping and Xia Zhendong had been waiting.
"Mr. Nelson, welcome to the base on the island of Qing!" Xia Zhendong said with a smile, using familiar English as he walked up and shook hands with Nelson.
Liang Sanping also used his barely passable English to say a few words of welcome to Nelson.
"Oh, Xia! Liang! So glad to see you again! How are our vegetables?" Nelson was clearly pleased with Xia Zhendong and Liang Sanping's welcome, smiling and shaking hands with the two.
"This is Mr. Otsu, the head of the Chinese branch of Wan Hong Corporation. He has come to inspect our vegetable base this time." Nelson was obviously very proud of his work ability.
It's true indeed. It didn't take him long to find a client. Your vegetables haven't even sprouted yet, and I've already found a client. Isn't that something to be proud of?!
"Welcome, Mr. Otsu Yū! I am Xia Zhendong, the director of research at the Beibei Nongken Qiongdiao Baoting Thermal Power Plant." What surprised Nelson was that Xia Zhendong greeted Otsu Yū in fluent Japanese.
"Oh~ Mr. Xia Zhendong, your Japanese is spoken very naturally..." Otsu Yū was quite surprised that someone here could speak Japanese, which made his work a lot more convenient.
Liang Sanping just smiled and remained silent on the side, he was clearer than anyone about Xia Zhendong's abilities. Old Xia was a genuine university student, and at that time, he had even specially studied Japanese.
In terms of language alone, Lao Xia can speak four or five languages. Later, when the two academies went to Japan to introduce a batch of agricultural machinery, it was still Lao Xia who personally went to negotiate, and at that time, his fluent Japanese left those Japanese people stunned.
"Mr. Nelson, Mr. Otsu, the port of Qiongzhou is still over 200 kilometers away from our production base. Would you like to rest first or head there directly?"
But then Xia Zhendong smiled politely and said, "You two need to know that we guarantee the green naturalness of our agricultural products while ensuring their nutritional value reaches a certain level. So we need to specially select the planting site."
Otsu nodded in understanding. Indeed, soil and water conditions as well as geographical environment do have an impact on vegetables. After all, Quanzhou is close to the sea.
If Xia Zhendong's vegetable base is located in Qiongzhoukou, although Dajin Yun won't give up cooperation, his intention will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
But then he heard that the plantation base was more than 200 kilometers away from here, and Otsu Yunosuke suddenly became interested.
"Although the journey is a bit far, I think we are here to inspect both parties' cooperation. So let's go ahead and visit the base first..."
Otsu Yū made a slight bow towards Nelson beside him and said.
Here, the psychological state of Otsu Jun can be seen. In front of Nelson, Otsu Jun seems to always lower his head slightly. Even if his company is not smaller than Nelson's, even if his position is actually higher than Nelson's.
Even he can be considered Nelson's client, but in the communication between the two parties, Otsu Yū is always careful to take Nelson as the main. Liang Sanping can even see that if Nelson refuses at this time, Otsu Yū will absolutely not insist on going now.
"Hmm... it's better to go there early and take a look, after all, it's just over 200 kilometers. We'll be there in no time if we walk for a while." Nelson could fully imagine the difficulty of the central line of Qiong Island.
If he had known in advance, he would rather die than choose to take a direct train from the middle line. Unfortunately, he has already agreed.
"Haha... let's eat something first, there are many special delicacies on the island that are worth trying." Xia Zhendong laughed and invited Nelson and Otsuka to get into the old jeep.
"We'll eat our fill first, then head back directly. It takes a lot of time on the road, and there aren't many restaurants along the way..."
Lunch was simple, just a few dishes of stir-fried greens and a plate of scrambled eggs. Xia Zhendong initially felt embarrassed about this arrangement, but Liang Sanping told him: People are tired of eating big fish and meat, maybe some rustic small dishes will be more attractive.
As expected, Otsu and Nelson were attracted to these small dishes. A plate of stir-fried pumpkin shoots, a plate of hollow vegetables, and an onion omelette.
It turned out that Otani and Nelson enjoyed the meal very much, and Nelson even thought it was better than what they had eaten when they came to Quiong Island last time.
Poor Galt, who had paid a high price but was not pleased. However, after dinner, Nelson felt that he began to have nightmares.
The car was fine when driving out of Qiongzhoukou, but as soon as it left Qiongzhoukou, it started to drive on various mountain roads. On the left was a cliff and on the right was a precipice.
The gravel road was rattling down, although the driver was familiar with the steering wheel. But Nelson felt his heart was about to jump out!
This is more exciting than a roller coaster ride! Nelson was tearfully lamenting in his heart, feeling that he had fallen into the big pit dug by Liang Sanping and Xia Zhendong for him.
But Dajin Yun beside him didn't think so. This branch president also felt uncomfortable at first. After all, these mountain roads were indeed quite deadly.
But as the journey went further, Otsu Yū's eyes began to shine.
Yes! Now Japan's agricultural products are heavily polluted with chemical fertilizers, although the Japanese government is desperately trying to downplay this issue. The resulting public opinion shock and impact on people's livelihoods are still significant.
The large-scale use of pesticides and fertilizers has had some adverse effects on Japan's agricultural products. The continuous food safety accidents have also made the public distrust their domestic food a little bit.
If we can introduce a batch of vegetables that are known as "purely natural, green and safe" from here at this time, the sales volume in Japan will be imaginable.
Mysterious China has always had a veil of mystery for outsiders, which has a fatal attraction for the Japanese people. And our company is also good at operating propaganda in this aspect.
Quiong Island has never had much industrial presence, and this is still the case in 1979. Most of the roads are still gravel-surfaced, with low thatched cottages lining the sides.
Occasionally there were a few tile-roofed houses and flat houses, which was also extremely rare. The more it was like this, the more Okazaki felt that he had come to the right place!
He now needs to confirm that the agricultural products of the plantation base are qualified and truly guided by the professors of both academies. As long as these two points are reached, Otsu Jun is ready to report this matter to the head office in Tokyo.
Otsu Yuzuru can even be sure that as long as these conditions are met, with the operation of Wan Hong Company, these vegetables will definitely sell well in Japan!
Japan has gradually escaped its economic difficulties, and many people have satisfied their basic needs and begun to pursue healthy eating. The endless emergence of food safety issues has made everyone nervous.
Even Otsu Yū himself felt a headache over this issue. If such a batch of vegetables appeared on the market, as long as it was well-promoted, it would be a surefire hit.
"Mr. Xia Zhendong, how many hectares of arable land does your base have now?" Da Jin Yun asked directly to Xia Zhendong after observing for a while.
"For now, we are planning fifty mu, Mr. Otsu. As you know, this is just the initial plan. If our cooperation is successful, then these lands will be gradually expanded..." Xia Zhendong said with a smile to Otsu Yon.
"Of course, expanding overnight is unrealistic. After all, we need to coordinate a large number of farmers and laborers to plant these vegetables, our positioning is not like Japan's large-scale farming based on pesticides and fertilizers. We prefer to do meticulous farming..."
Otsu Yū nodded, this is the long-term approach. If you rush to make a profit and expand immediately after seeing the benefits without considering the cost and consequences, then the only thing that will be smashed is your own signboard.
At this time, Nelson had already fallen asleep, and he really couldn't hold on after eating the motion sickness medicine given by Liang Sanping, and he fell asleep directly. While Otsu Yū was probing each other with Xia Zhendong in a disjointed manner.
"Welcome! Welcome! Warm welcome! Welcome... welcome..." The car finally arrived at Jianghai Farm, and Bao Ting had never received any foreign guests before.
The county magistrate was also shocked, and directly pulled up the director of Jianghai Farm, Xing Cheng'an. A welcoming team of nearly 500 meters was formed. The car was welcomed from the county gate to the main gate of Jianghai Farm...
