Chapter Eighty-Four: The Reception
successfully dragged Zhou Xiaoli away from the mall, and the two returned to the hotel room, Hong Tao first sent the suit to the hotel's laundry room to iron it, and then began to bathe and change clothes. Don't say it, tall people are more suitable for wearing suits, although Hong Tao's suit is not a big brand, but it still fits well on the body, which makes Zhou Xiaoli, who has always been a little worried, also put her mind at ease, and tied a tie for Hong Tao with her own hands, and then gently patted the dust and folds on the suit with her hand, while tilting her head back and admiring the man in front of her.
"You look a lot like someone I know." Hong Tao just stood there and let women use themselves as models to toss back and forth, he knew that this was another hobby of women, they not only had to dress up themselves, but also others, provided that you got her approval.
"Like whom?" Zhou Xiaoli was immersed in her own work, but when she suddenly heard Hong Tao say this, her eyebrows stood up again.
"My mom...... When I went to college on my first day to report, my mom did the same way she sorted my clothes, hehehe. "Laughing at this emoji is sometimes wonderful, you want to talk about a serious topic, but if you laugh at a bad time, the topic can be easily misunderstood.
"Why didn't I find out sooner, you are a really annoying person sometimes." Zhou Xiaoli didn't know how Lu Dao understood Hong Tao's metaphor, anyway, her little face immediately turned cold, and she didn't help Hong Tao sort out her clothes anymore, and went to the bathroom alone to put on makeup.
"Ah ......" at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli came down from the room together, just out of the door of the hotel, Hong Tao, who was only wearing a shirt and suit, was a little unbearable, and although Zhou Xiaoli was only wearing a thin suit skirt, she didn't seem to feel the cold wind at all.
The one who came to pick them up for the cocktail party was the car that picked them up, at least the driver didn't change, and he was still driving while quietly observing the two people in the back seat of the car from the rearview mirror. After driving for about 20 minutes, I came to another hotel, which was obviously more advanced than the hotel where Hong Tao lived.
The venue of the cocktail party was on the second floor of the hotel, Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli met a few Japanese people who came to participate in the cocktail party on the stairs, when they saw Zhou Xiaoli, they all smiled and bowed to the side, Zhou Xiaoli also stopped, saluted each other back, and then talked a few words in Japanese.
Whenever this time, Hong Tao automatically staggers a few steps, he neither wants others to bow to himself, nor does he want to bow to others, this has nothing to do with politeness, just pure physics, because Hong Tao is relatively tall, according to the principle of leverage, tall people have to pay more force than short people when bowing to control the upper body to the ground, so Hong Tao is unwilling to suffer this hidden loss.
But hiding can't dodge, just walked to the door of the banquet hall, Zhou Xiaoli pulled Hong Tao, and then took small steps to meet the two old men wearing almost the same dark suits, and then introduced the two sides in Chinese and Japanese, this time Hong Tao can't hide, can only follow the rhythm of the other party, you bow your head and I bow down, you bend down and I bend over, and I have to have an honorable smile on my face, in fact, he only understood that these two are the senior executives of Dawa Company, and he didn't remember what they were called.
Zhou Xiaoli seemed to be intent on revenge, almost when she saw someone, she would pull Hong Tao and introduce them to both parties, and then Hong Tao was like a kowtow puppet with enough clockwork, and the chick pecked rice as if it had to walk through the crowd.
"This is President Tadao Kojima, and he is the president of Dawa Seiko Co., Ltd." Zhou Xiaoli pulled Hong Tao to the three people again, first spoke a few words to them in Japanese, and then introduced Hong Tao's names and positions to Hong Tao in Chinese.
Hong Tao just after such a while, he has developed a habit of conditioned reflex, and when he heard Zhou Xiaoli say the other party's name and position, he immediately bowed his head first, anyway, if he doesn't bow for a while, he will make up for it now, you can't watch someone older than you bow to yourself first.
His head was lowered, and his mind reacted to what Zhou Xiaoli had just said: President! Hong Tao quickly raised his head again.
"Oops...... Weird!? Standing in front of Hong Tao were a total of 3 Japanese men, all of whom were over 50 years old, and the hair in the middle was basically white, but his face was very ruddy, and Hong Tao couldn't tell how big he was from his appearance.
However, the age problem is not the reason why Hong Tao was surprised, what surprised him was that the old man in the middle looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but the impression was very vague.
"Mistaken person?" Hong Tao was not sure of his judgment.
This is Zhou Xiaoli introduced to the other two people, Hong Tao had to greet them first, but as soon as he was free, his eyes were fixed on the old man, trying to find a similar picture from his memory.
"Oh, Mr. Hong seems to have a good memory, and he still has an impression of me after only seeing one time." The old man in the middle also noticed Hong Tao's expression, and he opened his mouth and popped out fluent Chinese.
"Oh, your Chinese is very authentic, but please forgive me, I really can't remember where I saw you, I just look familiar." Hong Tao was stunned at first, since he got off the plane, he has not heard anyone speak Chinese to himself, of course, Zhou Xiaoli is not counted.
"Ha Luha, it's not a formal meeting, we met once in Beijing, to be precise, at the Haizi Reservoir...... You've introduced me to a new way of fishing. The old man looked very happy, stretched out his hand and patted Hong Tao's shoulder, impressing Hong Tao on the wall.
"Oh, I remember, you're the old man who fished for ice!" Hong Tao finally remembered where he had seen the president of Dawa, last winter he went to Jinhai Lake with Gao Fatzi and Wang Jian to ice fishing, and it was this old man who saw that Hong Tao's ice fishing tent was relatively fresh, and ran over to ask.
"That's right, but please forgive Mr. Hong, I borrowed your idea a little and turned it into a product, you see, this is the ice fishing hut produced by our company, which has just been sold in the autumn, but the response is good, and it is very popular." The old man, Tadao Kojima, pointed to a poster posted on the wall and introduced it to Hong Tao.
"......" Hong Tao saw that there was a small tent on the ice on the poster, and there were two anglers in the tent holding hot tea in one hand and fishing rods in the other, chatting and fishing, and the snowflakes blown up by the wind on the ice were flying wildly.
What can Hong Tao say? No matter where this lawsuit goes, even if it is fought in China, he will definitely not be able to win. At the beginning, the ice fishing tent was just a very common ice fishing tool that I had seen in my previous life, and I was neither an inventor nor a patent holder.
However, judging from the pictures, Dawa's small tent is quite exquisite, its height is higher, more suitable for people to sit in it, and the support of the tent has also been replaced by a thick bracket from the original fine FRP bracket, so that the wind resistance has been improved a lot, and it is more suitable for use in winter.
"But I still want to thank you for your creativity, and I will give you 3 sets of these tents in a while, as my thank you gift." Tadao Kojima saw the constipation-like expression on Hong Tao's face, and he was even more proud.
"Then let's have 5 sets, I also have a few friends who also like ice fishing, and I can't divide 3 sets when I take them back." Hong Tao actually doesn't care about this kind of business behavior, if he wants to use the fishing knowledge in his previous life to make money, it's not impossible, but his interest is not in it. However, it is not something that Hong Tao is willing to bear to let others ridicule himself with his own inventions, and now he can ask for a little more benefit, and it is a good thing to take it back and give it away.
