Since there were still a few days until the screening ceremony, Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong mainly visited and played around and ate after arriving in Japan.
I have to say that in terms of urban construction alone, in 1983, the gap between Tokyo and domestic capitals was still quite large.
Not to mention domestic capitals, even Seoul, the best city in South Korea, oh, it is still called Seoul now, is far inferior to Tokyo in terms of infrastructure.
The urban construction in Seoul will start to look like something, and that will have to be after the Seoul Olympics. Before that, like now, it is not much better than the domestic capital.
Of course, at this time, South Korea's per capita GDP must exceed that of the country. After all, the Miracle on the Han River is indeed real, and it is one of the Four Asian Tigers.
No matter what, in this era, the number one city in Asia has to be Tokyo, followed by Hong Kong and Singapore.
As for Seoul and Bukshi, there is no way to compare with Tokyo in terms of urban construction.
In 2023, a Chinese who comes to Tokyo may not feel the gap, but in 1983, if a Chinese came to Tokyo, the gap would be huge.
I remember when Xu Chun and Anping first came here, they felt disappointed for a while, but it was Cao Zhiqiang who comforted them.
These two people are still staunch underground workers. Facing Tokyo at this time, they are a little lost, let alone ordinary people.
In fact, Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong were just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything they saw in Tokyo was strange.
It's nothing on the surface, but privately, their envy of the city of Tokyo is palpable.
This situation is similar to the third brother who came to Shanghai, China to shoot a video in 2023. The comments were full of envy, jealousy, disbelief and collapse.
This must be a synthetic video, this must be a deceptive video, this must not be a common phenomenon, this is only the case in a few cities, please go to the western region to shoot, why their rural areas are still very poor, just like us, etc. wait.
Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong are both qualified and knowledgeable people. Of course, they are not as ordinary and arrogant as the third brother. They were mentally prepared before coming, so they were just amazed at the prosperity of Tokyo, but not yet. As for blind denial and denial.
But having said that, although Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong did not deny the prosperity of Tokyo, they were a little too inferior. They always felt that it would take at least a hundred years for the country to catch up with here.
Upon hearing that one hundred years, Cao Zhiqiang frowned secretly.
It seems that when backward areas see developed areas, they are always trying to catch up, but in fact they don't have to at all.
"It won't take that long." Faced with Xu Qingdong's depressing comments, Cao Zhiqiang said with a faint smile, "Forty years at most, no, thirty years is enough. We can reach and surpass this place, at least the infrastructure level is acceptable."
"Are you kidding?" Xu Qingdong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thirty years? Forty years? How is this possible?"
"Just wait and see if you don't believe me." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But Lao Xu, you have to lose weight and exercise more in the future. It's not good for you to be so fat at such a young age. You may die young."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Qingdong said quickly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am in good health and will definitely live a long life."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case.
From now on, you listen to me, eat less sugar and oil, eat properly, exercise more, don’t stay up late, live well, and live thirty years from now. Only in this way can you see the achievements of the motherland’s construction and understand What I said is correct.
If you continue like this, you may not be able to survive thirty years. "
Well, there is a reason why Cao Zhiqiang said this.
Because Cao Zhiqiang remembered that Xu Qingdong didn't seem to have a long life. In his previous life, he seemed to have died in 2014, and he was only 68 years old when he passed away.
After entering the 21st century, people like Xu Qingdong who are not short of money left at the age of 68. They are indeed among the group who left early.
Therefore, this is most likely related to his living habits and eating habits.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang used this incident to persuade him.
"Bah, don't curse me." Xu Qingdong shook his head, "I'm in good health and can live for at least another fifty years!"
"Yes, yes, very good." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.
But soon, Cao Zhiqiang said seriously: "But Lao Xu, you still have to pay attention. Well, if you don't believe me, you should believe the Japanese doctors, right? It was the Japanese doctors who suggested that you should eat less and exercise more. It is best to only eat Two meals, this is called a ketogenic diet.
This way of eating is not only good for the body and can prolong life, but also makes people more energetic. "
"Really or not?" Xu Qingdong frowned, "Ketogenic diet? Only eat two meals a day. Isn't this Taoist fasting?"
"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded and said, "It's similar to Taoist inedia. Taoist health preservation is very famous. If you don't believe in Japanese doctors, you should believe in the things of our ancestors."
Xu Qingdong touched his chin and nodded: "Well, to put it this way, I have been having trouble sleeping lately. How about I find a qigong master and learn qigong after I go back."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while.
After talking about it for a long time, you actually believe in Qigong?
But yes, at this time, Qigong craze is popular in China, there are Qigong masters everywhere, and there are all kinds of magical Qigong everywhere.
It seems that many documentaries were filmed during this period, recording the magical qigong of qigong masters.
But in Cao Zhiqiang's view, it was just a trick, almost like a magic show.
It's just that Western magic, people tell you in advance that it is fake, it is purely for appreciation, but Qigong is so impressive that it is obviously a magic trick, not a superpower.
But having said that, some Qigong is also good for strengthening the body.
For example, Baduanjin, Wuqinxi, Liuzijue, and Tai Chi are still somewhat effective in maintaining health.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said no more. At most, after returning to China, he could help Xu Qingdong with his staff and let him practice some serious stuff and not make a mess.
As for Cao Zhiqiang himself, he definitely doesn't practice. If he has that skill, taking more walks and swimming are better than anything else.
After talking about health care, everyone continued to visit Tokyo and naturally bought a lot of things.
Among them, Xu Qingdong and Zhu Lin themselves don't have much money to buy.
It's not that they really don't have money, but that they can only exchange a small amount of Japanese yen for foreign exchange now, and the country won't approve any more.
Unlike Cao Zhiqiang, who earns yen in Japan until his hands cramp, he is not short of money at all.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is not considered a gift, but a loan.
That is to say, you can borrow Japanese yen to spend money on them, and after they return home, you can just pay them back RMB.
This is actually very cheap for them.
Because Cao Zhiqiang requested to repay in RMB, of course it was based on the official exchange rate.
But in fact, in the real market, the Japanese yen against RMB is far higher than the official exchange rate.
To put it simply, there is currently a severe shortage of foreign exchange in the country, but the demand for Japanese goods is very high, so the actual value of the yen is higher.
This is especially obvious in Hainan, because on Hainan Island, there is a large amount of private foreign exchange circulating, and there is also a private foreign exchange price.
In Hainan, the yen-to-RMB ratio has long since fallen below 50-to-1, meaning that one yuan of RMB can only be exchanged for 50 yen.
But as for the official exchange rate, one yuan of RMB can currently be exchanged for one hundred and twenty yen.
From this point of view, Cao Zhiqiang really suffered a loss when he lent them Japanese yen to spend in Japan and returned RMB at the official exchange rate when he returned home.
But Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't care about this.
After all, if it wasn't a matter of face, Cao Zhiqiang would have given it away directly, so he wouldn't play with borrowing or borrowing.
After everyone finally got tired from playing and returned to their residence, Xu Qingdong was in poor health and couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly went back to his room to sleep.
Zhu Lin, on the other hand, found an opportunity to wink at Cao Zhiqiang, so Cao Zhiqiang calmly asked Xu Chun to go out and buy some ingredients to prepare dinner for a while.
After Xu Chun, the only light bulb, left and only Zhu Lin and Cao Zhiqiang were left in the living room, Zhu Lin could no longer control herself.
Not long after Xu Chungang left, Zhu Lin suddenly stepped forward and hugged Cao Zhiqiang, rubbed her face hard on Cao Zhiqiang's chest, and then murmured: "You have no conscience, you haven't come to me for so long. , I thought you really had something important to do, but it turned out that you were lingering here.
Huh, no wonder you don't go back, it's so nice here, you are so happy that you don't miss Shu! "
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, then he hugged Zhu Lin and smiled: "Oh, my good sister, you have wronged me.
Although it is very prosperous, I don’t play here every day in Tokyo.
In fact, it’s because of your coming that I have gone to so many places with you and played for so long. I usually don’t go out. "
"Humph, you lied to me!" Zhu Lin raised her head and rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang quickly raised his right hand: "I swear, I really didn't lie to you! I am busy writing songs and writing scripts here, and then I am busy making money. I don't leave the door or step out all day long. How can I have time to play around? .”
Zhu Lin looked at Cao Zhiqiang, sighed, and took off Cao Zhiqiang's swearing hand: "No need to swear, I just said that, I, I just miss you too much."
Speaking of this, Zhu Lin let go of Cao Zhiqiang a little shyly, covered her face with her hands and said, "I don't know what's wrong. I always miss you since you left, and now that I see you, I can't help myself.
I, I am not this kind of woman, why did I become like this? "
Seeing Zhu Lin covering his face with his hands and blaming himself, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, gently put his arm around the other person's shoulders and said: "Sister Zhu, the answer is very simple, this is love."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin was stunned, put down her hands and raised her head, staring blankly at Cao Zhiqiang's face, which was close at hand.
After watching for a while, Zhu Lin suddenly burst out violently, hugged Cao Zhiqiang's head with both hands, and kissed Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang also responded quickly. The actions of both parties became more and more intense, and the clothes were missing one by one. A firefight was about to take place.
But at this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
The ringing of the phone woke Zhu Lin up, so that she reacted suddenly and pushed Cao Zhiqiang away.
After pushing Cao Zhiqiang away, Zhu Lin gasped and said: "No, phone, answer the phone quickly."
"Don't worry about it." Cao Zhiqiang, who was already interested, shook his head and continued to hug Zhu Lin, "The phone is not as important as you."
"No!" Zhu Lin turned away, "You answer the phone first, and then go back to my room, not here."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang finally calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, it's really inappropriate in the living room.
Although Xu Qingdong had already gone back to his room to sleep, and Xu Chun had been sent out to buy groceries, it was hard to say in terms of time.
And he, Cao Zhiqiang, and Zhu Lin have reunited after a long absence. If they really start fighting, it's not known how long it will take.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, then you go back to the room and wait for me."
Zhu Lin bit her lip and nodded, quickly pushed Cao Zhiqiang away, knelt down and picked up the jacket that had been taken off before, then trotted up the stairs with a blushing face and returned to her room.
Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath, looked at the phone that was still ringing, and went over to answer it impatiently.
After picking up the phone, Cao Zhiqiang was about to say a few words impatiently, but found out that the call was from Akina Nakamori.
Upon hearing this, I found out that Nakamori Akina was also the one who sent the message, saying that Nagayama Kozo called Cao Zhiqiang, but Cao Zhiqiang was not there, so Nakamori Akina answered the call, and then Nakamori Akina tried to make the call again.
Hearing that it was Yongshan Kozo who was looking for him, Cao Zhiqiang asked for the phone number, then hung up and dialed Yongshan Kozo's pager.
After calling Nagayama Kozo's pager, Cao Zhiqiang, who had calmed down a little, waited for a while, and sure enough, he called again.
Seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed again, lamenting the inconvenience of communication.
If there was a mobile phone, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Fortunately, at least pagers are now very common here in Japan, and there are phones everywhere. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not too difficult to find someone.
In contrast, in China, this aspect is far behind. No wonder it is so difficult to catch a wanted criminal.
But in fact, mobile phones, also known as mobile phones, have already appeared at this time, but most of them are experimental and real commercial mobile phones have not yet appeared.
Even though Japan was the first to open a cellular mobile phone network, the area of the cellular mobile phone network was still very small at this time and was still experimental. Only a handful of people could actually use mobile phones.
In the history of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, the first commercial mobile phone was born in 1985, but that phone was more like a mobile radio than a telephone.
Because that kind of phone puts the power supply and antenna in a package, with a total weight of 3 kilograms, which is similar to the communication bag carried by signal soldiers.
The mobile phone with real practical significance, that is, the most familiar mobile phone, did not appear until 1987, and then developed rapidly in the 1990s.
In other words, at this moment, not to mention China, even Europe and the United States, which are the most technologically advanced countries, do not have small mobile phone technology with real practical value.
If the system could provide this technology in advance and let our country develop this in advance, it would be a developed country.
After all, the mobile communications industry is a big pie, with at least trillions of economic added value calculated in US dollars.
Unfortunately, this is what you think about.
Because even if the system gives itself technology, with the current domestic capital and technology accumulation, it will take a long time to fully understand and produce it.
However, if it is produced in Xiangjiang, it will be different.
Xiangjiang is still a British colony and a duty-free port. You can get parts and components from all over the world and ship them all over the world.
If we really had Big Brother technology in advance and produced it in Xiangjiang, it would be a great development.
So the key question is, when will the system’s rewards be available for mobile phone technology? (End of chapter)
