MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 15 established custom
Chapter 15 Established Customs
After drinking coffee, before parting, Kishimoto Masayoshi handed Fukada Kyoko a valid phone number that can contact him, which is his landline number.
The reason why he does that is that he is very speculative about talking about anime with each other. As the saying goes, anime lovers all over the world are a family, regardless of age, international, or skin color...
Even in the eyes of the mainstream people in the country, they are quite disgusting beings, it will not hinder their consensus and pursuit in the second dimension.
This industry has also made outstanding economic contributions to RB. It can also export culture to foreign countries and establish a good image of the country and its people.
Kishimoto Masayoshi and Fukada Kyoko's like-minded friendship became ordinary friends, which is completely normal and can no longer be normal.
He didn't invite her to lunch together, not being stingy, but following the unspoken rules of men and women in Japanese culture. When a boy invites a girl to dinner alone, that more or less means there is a pursuit.
They are meeting for the second time, the first time was due to a small accident, and this time it was a chance encounter. Masayoshi Kishimoto offered to invite the other party to dinner, which naturally did not conform to the established rules of the country.
Similarly, if Fukada Kyoko accepted his invitation, he would undoubtedly show his frivolity. A daughter of a serious family, that is absolutely impossible.
The two sides have come and gone more often, and after a long time, they can have a lunch or dinner together.
Even so, girls should take the initiative to show a posture of being a daughter of a serious family and having a good education, AA system. Whether the man needs it or not is another matter.
Even if boys accept the AA system, it is normal for men and women in the country to get along, and they will not be considered stingy by girls.
The boy insists on paying the bill, then he will naturally receive the first sentence from the woman, thank you for your hospitality. If this happens a lot, girls will take it for granted. In this aspect, it seems that girls from all over the world are similar.
The difference is that under normal circumstances, if a girl takes the initiative to ask a boy to go out, then she will pay for the cost of the day. On the contrary, the boy took the initiative to ask the girl out, which meant that he had to pay for the two people's expenses on this day.
A boy shows the act of taking the initiative to pay for everything in consumption, which is naturally handsome, a good manifestation of personal economic ability, and then more able to win the trust of girls.
Near noon, Kishimoto Masayoshi is still wandering in Akihabara. In addition to anime, there are all kinds of electrical appliances. He came here this time, not for electrical appliances.
Kishimoto Masayoshi found a ramen shop and entered the shop without queuing. He found an empty seat and sat down, looking up at the side-by-side menus written on the front wall.
The top of each menu is the name, and the bottom is the price. In Akihabara, Tokyo in 1997, 500 yen was enough to make yourself hungry in a restaurant of this level.
Twenty years later, the same meal will probably cost around 2,000 yen. The main reason for this is not really caused by domestic inflation.
As one of the main international currencies, the Japanese yen, unless it encounters the influence of external economic factors, the currency value trend is generally relatively stable. The main factors causing the rise in prices are, first, the substantial rent increase by the landlord, and second, the increase in labor costs year by year.
Twenty years later, there are more and more foreigners coming to Akihabara, especially the Chinese who have grown the most. At present, the people who can come to RB are either at public expense, or the small group of people who get rich first.
Ordinary people in China don't even think about it. In 1997, China's per capita GDP was only 750 US dollars, and RB's per capita GDP was already as high as 40,940 US dollars. In terms of exchange rate, the RMB to the Japanese yen is 1:6.2, not 1:15 twenty years later.
"I want a tonkotsu ramen." Kishimoto Masayoshi entered the ramen shop, of course, he wanted to eat ramen, so he wouldn't come here to eat fried rice!
After the store owner understood it, he immediately started to do it. Masayoshi Kishimoto waited patiently for the tonkotsu ramen to be delivered, and looked around, but he didn't find the young little sister.
It is not surprising that his memory is mixed with the memory of the original owner of this body. After all, this is an established custom of RB girls, young girls, especially alone, will not come to a ramen shop to eat ramen.
In their opinion, a man on the left and a man on the side always feel weird. If they meet a middle-aged uncle, blame the grandfather, they will always be happy and say something loud.
When Watanabe Mayu attended the handshake meeting for the first time, she was asked by a strange grandfather, when was her menarche? She just started crying "wow wow".
Even though RB has always been a high-pressure society, there are various channels for decompression, and not everyone is depressed. If you have the problem of mental depression, it is your own problem, not society's problem.
During the day and night, RB people are completely different. During the day, they are polite, but at night, there are a few more drinks in the izakaya, and things like harassing female colleagues are endless.
Even if it wasn't like that, it's still a lot of jokes. Loud noise is the norm. After being drunk, it is not surprising to defecate anywhere on the roadside.
Even if he fell asleep on the ground and slept for a night, it was not surprising. The streets where various nightclubs gather, the real city that never sleeps. Even at four or five in the morning, people can be seen everywhere.
There are also various types of custom shops and billiards rooms for decompression... This generation of RB people has not yet entered the low-desire society twenty years later. Young people uphold the values of their predecessors, and the more money they make, the more they can spend.
Kishimoto Masayoshi understands that if it weren't for the negative impact of the Asian financial crisis, RB would still show a picture of a drunken fan of eating, drinking, and having fun.
Even the bursting of the economic bubble in the early 1990s was most reflected in the real estate industry and the financial industry. Chemicals, steel, electronics, automobiles... are still far ahead of the world.
A large bowl of tonkotsu ramen with white mist was placed in front of Masayoshi Kishimoto by the clerk with both hands. After the top layer of scattered chopped green onion was heated, the fragrance became more and more intense, and it penetrated directly into the nostrils of people. Green vegetables, half an egg, seaweed, and a few pieces of meat are arranged in order, and the ramen is surrounded by the center.
Kishimoto Masayoshi took out a chopstick from the chopstick holder, did not hold it sideways in his hand, closed his eyes and said, "I'm going to eat."
With a little force, he separated the disposable chopsticks, without rushing to start, and then inserted them into the bowl. He used the small spoon that came with the big bowl to put some soup into his mouth first.
