1039, I don’t need a translator!(2/2)

Naoki Nagayama looked at the packed local suitcases, feeling helpless.

"And umbrellas..."

He said to Akina:

"Actually, if a man goes on a business trip, he can just bring two changes of clothes... Everything else can be bought~"

Nagayama Naoki has always believed that the most important thing when traveling on business is to bring money...

In fact, as long as you have money, all you really need to bring with you is your intimate clothes. After all, you will eat and live in a luxury hotel, and the service quality may be better than at home...

"How can that be done? There are many things I'm not used to!"

Ming Cai, who often performs in various cities, is very persistent.

"I don't know if there are any suitable shops in Hong Kong... Is the public security good..."

"Hong Kong is very prosperous..." Naoki Nagayama understood that his wife was concerned, held her in his arms and comforted her, "Is it an external port city or a financial center... It's very safe!"

"Well..."

These days, due to the obstacles in the dissemination of information, Akina's impression of Hong Kong probably comes from Jackie Chan's movies... In Jackie Chan's movies, Hong Kong always has gangs, gunfights, and drag racing from time to time...

For Ming Cai, Hong Kong is probably like a town with poor security, and she is even a little worried about whether her husband will be robbed.

After hugging her for a while, Akina felt at ease again, and then, as if she thought of something, she stared at Nagayama Naoki with fierce eyes:

"By the way, I saw from the movie that there are a lot of street girls in Hong Kong...disco and other places are also very open...Naoki-san has passed by, but be careful!"

"..."

Nagayama Naoki does have the idea of ​​​​experience the Hong Kong dance hall...but in front of his wife, naturally:

"Akina! What are you thinking about? I'm here to do business! I'm not here to play!"

"...Hmph...man..."

"Mingna, you have to have confidence in me!"

"..."

Seeing Akina start stuffing things into the suitcase again, Nagayama Naoki became smarter this time and didn't make any comments, just silently helping to pass the things...

...

...

Hong Kong in 1986~

It is a city where poverty and wealth coexist, and the past and the future intersect.

The double-decker buses on the streets of Wan Chai were swaying, filled with pedestrians in suits and work clothes sightseeing together; the racecourse in Causeway Bay next to it was green and crowded with gamblers buying horses, and the rich and poor stood there.

Cheering together...

The beaches of Victoria Harbor are clean and tidy, the high-rise buildings in Central are lined up in rows, and the lights in Tsim Sha Tsui are brightly lit at night... And next to it is the messy Yau Ma Tei, with tube houses and shantytowns closely adjacent...

The prosperous commercial street is crowded with taxis with red lights on, filled with white-collar workers in suits and official bags; bosses wearing windbreakers and lighting cigars are in the back of luxury cars; they seem to be rubbing shoulders with the street.

Heel-wiping passers-by wearing old shirts are not in the same world...

After getting off the plane at Kai Tak Airport, Naoki Nagayama got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom welcome car and headed towards the Peninsula Hotel under the guidance of the airport pick-up staff.

"Mr. Nagayama, Mr. Komori and Mr. Kijima, this time we have booked the Peninsula Hotel... It is a high-end hotel with a history of more than 50 years..."

The translator and driver named Wu Qiwen introduced Naoki Nagayama, Masataka Komori and Kyū Kijima,

“Right next to Victoria Harbour…”

"Uh-huh...."

Nagayama Naoki nodded absently. The translator thought that Nagayama Naoki and the others did not know much about Hong Kong, so he introduced the history of the Peninsula Hotel to the three of them in Japanese.

In this era, Cantonese and English were still spoken in Hong Kong. Naoki Nagayama's Cantonese was average, but there was no problem in ordinary conversation.

Looking outside in the car, I saw this familiar yet unfamiliar scene~

While the translator was still talking non-stop, Naoki Nagayama saw a huge walled city slowly sliding past the right side of the car window. He immediately became interested and pointed over there and said to Wu Qiwen:

"That's the Kowloon Walled City, right?! I heard there are a lot of gangs..."

Wu Qiwen, who was driving, glanced at it, nodded subconsciously and replied in Cantonese:

"Yes...Kowloon Walled City is a no-no-no zone, very chaotic..."

Then he realized that Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the back row, was actually talking to him in Cantonese!

"Zhi Shusang, do you know Cantonese?"

"A little bit...the level of daily conversation..." Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"That's really awesome!"

Wu Qiwen felt that his voice was a little dry...

When I was waiting to pick someone up at the airport, I complained a lot about "Japs" and "GA guys" to acquaintances at the airport...

I wonder if Nagayama Naoki heard it!

"In this business, you have to be exposed to various cultures!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

His eyes are still looking at the Kowloon Walled City. This legendary walled city will be used by many people as a prototype for cyber element creation in the future. It is also very strange now.

After sitting in the car and passing through the crowded traffic, looking at the streets full of cultural blends, the group finally arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.

The hotel doorman wearing a white uniform and hat opened the glass door, enthusiastically helped carry the luggage, and led the group to check in~

The hotel combines classicism and elegance, with unique Baroque-style buildings and decorations, and luxurious crystal chandeliers that are luxurious and grand. It deserves the reputation of the "Lady of the Far East"...

After checking in, the group finally arrived at their suite. Wu Qiwen said very respectfully:

"Naoki-san... I must have been very tired after taking such a long flight... Please have a good rest today~"

"Tomorrow morning I will be waiting in the lobby and will take you to TVB to talk business...and then visit Hong Kong...I have already planned the itinerary and will definitely let everyone know the charm of Hong Kong!"

In a strange city, there are not many people who speak Japanese in Hong Kong. Wu Qiwen is not worried about a few people going out casually~

"Okay, please..."

Nagayama Naoki nodded and said goodbye to Wu Qiwen.

Then he turned around and returned to his suite, facing the bay of Victoria Harbor. The afternoon sun was warm and the view of the azure sea outside the window was heart-wrenching...

And a little further away, there are bustling commercial streets, shopping malls with people coming and going, and streets full of fireworks...

It's a pity that I can only stand in the hotel and take a look, and I can't experience it in person...

"I'm going home now!"

Naoki Nagayama felt a little emotional. He stood silently in front of the window and admired it for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh:

“I don’t need an interpreter to take me out!

I can go shopping by myself! No need for a translator!"

After thinking of this, Naoki Nagayama immediately called the front desk, called a taxi, took his passport and wallet, and happily walked towards Hong Kong outside the Peninsula Hotel...

As for Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon in the other room?

Who are these two? I don’t know them, I’m not familiar with them!
