Chapter 335: Invitation
[The Yokohama Yokosuka Local Law Committee said that in response to the incident of soldiers at the U.S. Navy base violating a local girl, the local committee will organize a protest rally to express the dissatisfaction of the local people in Yokohama on this matter, and also hope to attract the attention of U.S. Vice President George, who is visiting Japan.] 】
Putting the newspaper in his hand to his side, Kim Hyun-tae's face did not fluctuate much.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Kim Hyun-tae left the hotel, taking his daughter Coco and two maids, Camilla and Hilda, to start the day's trip.
Sure enough, just as Matthews said, on this day, Kim Hyun-tae, as a representative of the American cultural circles, was invited by a famous publishing house in Tokyo, Japan, to visit its publishing house.
Due to safety considerations, in the morning, all the transportation vehicles of the American members were replaced by the black speed cars provided by the US Embassy, instead of continuing to use the Subaru cars provided by the Japanese side, and even the drivers were sent by the US Embassy in Tokyo, Japan.
It's like the one who is driving for Kim Hyun-tae now, a young man sent by the embassy.
However, for this young driver, Kim Hyun-tae did not pay much attention to him.
Considering that Kim Hyun Tae also has two maids, the embassy specially arranged two cars to solve this trouble.
The one who came to invite Kim Hyun-tae in the morning was a middle-aged man named Kojima Santae.
Thinking that he had nothing to do for the time being anyway, Kim Hyun-tae happily accepted the invitation, cleaned up and went out.
Old George went to meet with the Japanese Prime Minister in the morning, and before leaving, he specially asked someone to inform Kim Hyun Tae that he could move freely today, and he would talk to the Japanese about Asahi TV, so Kim Hyun Tae could arrange it himself today.
It is precisely for this reason that Kim Hyun-tae accepted Kojima's invitation and went to the publishing house with him to have a look.
In Kim Hyun-tae's opinion. The visit will not be long, and it will be over around noon, and then I will take my daughter to visit Tokyo in the afternoon, and I can fulfill my daughter's small wish to eat delicious food.
Kojima's publishing house is called Edo Publishing, which was founded in 1900 and has been established for more than 100 years.
In the early days, this publishing house mainly translated and published foreign books, and after entering the modern era, especially in modern times, it began to take a diversified route, such as gossip magazines. Comics, photoshoots and other things are also starting to be involved.
Because of its wide readership, Edo Publishing is doing well and is one of the largest in the Japanese publishing industry.
At the same time, because Edo Publishing has a good relationship with Japanese politicians, it is okay for you to say that this publishing house is a "leader" in Japan, and there is a strong political color behind it.
After all, the autobiographies of many politicians in Japan will be handed over to Edo Publishing to be distributed on their behalf, which shows that their background is very unusual.
Sitting in the car, Kim Hyun-tae took the one he got from the American personnel. I looked at some of the information about Edo Publishing very carefully.
After all, if you want to visit someone's side, Kim Hyun-tae always needs to know a little about it.
Little Coco still looked like a curious baby, pressing her forehead tightly against the car window and looking at the street scene speeding by outside.
This is the morning rush hour for work. As a result, there are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and most of them are men in black suits, or white-collar women in black women's skirt uniforms.
This is also one of the major characteristics of Japan, and it is usually common in Japanese dramas. Kim Hyun-tae has experienced it first-hand in Japan, and this is the first time.
However, at this time, Kim Hyun-tae obviously did not have time to appreciate these, and his mind was now focused on the 'Edo Publishing' archival documents.
"Dad. This tour can be over at noon, right?"
At this time, Coco turned around and asked.
Kim Hyun-tae thought about it and nodded at his daughter: "I guess it should be over at noon, after all, it's just a visit, and there's nothing too important to talk about." ”
After receiving a definite answer from her father, Coco seemed very happy.
"Dad, can you take me for a walk after this visit?"
Kim Hyun-tae smiled at his daughter: "Of course, why not." ”
"Yay!"
Coco burst into cheers.
It can be seen that Xiao Coco is full of expectations for a walk around Japan.
"I'm looking for Demi, she's more familiar with Japan, and if she's there, it's easy to find a place to eat, so I'm going to leave her a message on Facebook and Twitter right now and ask her to wait for my news, no problem, right? ”
Coco pulls out the Big Banana phone from her bear suit's belly pocket and asks her father for his opinion.
What else can Kim Hyun-tae say about this.
Is it difficult to refuse to contact Demi?
Although Kim Hyun-tae is a little reluctant to contact Demi, he can't stand the truth of what Coco said, after all, Demi is more familiar with Japan than their father and daughter.
If you have Demi here, it's much easier to find a gourmet restaurant with a guaranteed taste.
"No problem, you can contact her. ”
In the end, he didn't want to disappoint his daughter, so Kim Hyun-tae finally asked his daughter to contact Demi.
An adolescent girl who still likes herself, Kim Hyun-tae feels that she can handle her relationship with Demi.
Cowering and hiding, it seems that this is too much like a man.
The real man should be used to face and solve such problems.
Seeing his daughter happily log on to her Facebook and Twitter accounts, Kim Hyun Tae thought silently in his heart.
Coincidentally, Demi's side is officially on summer vacation today, and today is the first day of summer vacation, so this message from little Coco came at the right time.
I just finished washing up and eating breakfast, and I was wondering if I wanted to @ Coco's Demi, when I suddenly received this message from Coco, and I was suddenly a little excited.
Of course, she hopes to meet Kim Hyun-tae, and take their father and daughter to have a good time here in Japan.
So, Demi quickly gave Coco a reply.
Demi @ Coco [Ok, no problem, I'll wait for your news at home.] 】
After seeing Demi's reply, Coco shook his phone at Kim Hyun-tae: "Dad, Demi replied to me, and she said she would wait for my message." ”
Kim Hyun-tae nodded: "Demi is willing to take us to play, do you have to thank people for knowing?"
'Oh!' Hearing his father say this, little Coco answered, and then lowered his head and continued to chat with Demi on Facebook.
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae picked up the newspaper on his side again and continued to read.
There is nothing very shocking in the newspapers, it is nothing more than the recent uproar, the soldiers of the U.S. Naval Base in Yokosuka, Yokohama, and the local female high school students.
Either it is the visit of US Vice President George to Japan, as well as some news about the opposition and ruling factions in Japan.
Of course, there are more newspapers with all kinds of tempting little advertisements.
It must not be said that Japan, which is in a different time and space, is no different from the original time and space in this respect.
As we drove past Yoyogi Park Stadium toward Shinjuku, the number of shops on both sides of the street began to increase, and they all had a clear hint of something special.
Edo Publishing House is located in Shinjuku Ward, near Waseda University, so the car of Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter will inevitably pass through Shinjuku, a place that is famous both in the original time and in Japan.
Unlike Shibuya and Harajuku, Shinjuku is a bit special, but when the car passes by Shinjuku, Kim Hyun-tae can still see a lot of handsome men and women on the streets.
Of course, Kim Hyun-tae has no interest in the so-called 'washing, cutting and blowing' handsome guys, and at the same time, Kim Hyun-tae complains in his heart about the heavy taste of Japanese women.
The girls on the streets of Shinjuku Ward, on the other hand, are mostly white elephant trunk socks, short skirts, school clothes, or some women in OL costumes, in terms of the trendy nature of their dress, they are still not as good as Harajuku and Shibuya.
A large 'Kabukicho' signboard stands there, and many people are coming in and out.
Perhaps because it was only around 9 a.m., most of the people who entered Kabukicho were men, but most of them went in to eat.
That's right!
Kabukicho is famous as a red-light district, but it is also famous for its restaurants, which are also known for their inexpensive but delicious eateries.
If you see this place as a freak of a combination of a food court and a red light district, that's also reasonable and acceptable.
The car did not stop, and it was just a glimpse of Kim Hyun-tae in Kabukicho.
About five minutes later, Kim Hyun-tae finally arrived at the Edo Publishing House.
As an invitation representative, Kojima Santa quickly got out of the car in front of him, and then trotted to the side of Kim Hyun-tae's car, and opened the door for Kim Hyun-tae very doggedly.
There are many people waiting in front of the Edo Publishing House.
"Jin Sang, the one standing in the middle is the owner of our publishing house, Sakamoto Eisaku, and everyone in our publishing house feels full of brilliance for your presence. ”
The Japanese are very good at talking, which can be seen from Kojima, especially when he is very low.
However, as Kim Hyun-tae, who understands the virtues of the Japanese, he will not be fooled by these things on the surface.
Nothing to do, there are some problems here.
After secretly being vigilant in his heart, Kim Hyun-tae smiled at Kojima Santa, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Jin Sang, for your arrival, all of us at the publishing house feel infinitely welcome. ”
Under the guidance of Kojima Santa, when he walked towards the gate of the publishing house, Sakamoto Eisaku, the owner of the Edo Publishing House, who was originally standing at the gate, suddenly took the initiative to greet him with a smile. (To be continued.) )
