After parking the car and taking the elevator, we arrived at the forty-second floor. Chen Zhipeng and Rosa'er walked in front, and Zhang Haotian took the two girls out. Outside was a magnificent hall, which was the Carlton Hotel.

Zhang Haotian also has a "Tianhong Hotel" and is not unfamiliar with the hotel industry. He knows that the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is an internationally renowned hotel. It has more than 70 branches in the world, managed by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. This company is affiliated to the Marriott International Group, which is even the world's top company. Although he has made some achievements at present, it is still a small matter compared to these international groups.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator, a young and handsome doorman bowed to them and greeted them, and then walked to the front desk of the hall. At this moment, Zhang Haotian discovered something very special. Every hotel employee walking in the hall would stop when he saw them, and then bowed deeply. When he and others smiled, they would bow again. Although he felt that he was too polite, he had to admit that as a consumer, he had received a strong sense of respect, which was something that could not be felt in domestic hotels.

When we arrived at the front desk, four dignified and beautiful reception ladies stood up and bowed to them, and the same time, and then a lady asked them what kind of room they needed.

Rosaer whispered to Zhang Haotian that the cheapest room in this Ritz-Carlton hotel is 60,000 yen a night, which costs more than 4,000 RMB according to the international exchange rate, while the most luxurious presidential suite costs 2 million yen, which is 140,000 RMB. However, the "Silk Road Model Company" has an agreement with the hotel, which can be discounted by 20% and ask him what kind of room he needs.

Although Zhang Haotian could be called a billionaire at this time, he was worried about working capital. Of course, he would not choose a presidential suite for luxury. However, he specially brought Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er to travel and relax to make up for their debts in recent years. He was unwilling to be too wronged. He asked Rosa'er and ordered a special luxury suite, which was discounted. It was more than 7,000 yuan per night, but there was a hall and two bedrooms, which was the most cost-effective.

After asking about the room they wanted, the receptionist made a phone call. Soon a middle-aged man in a blue suit and greasy hair hurried to the hall with three young waiters, and then bowed and handed over a business card with Japanese and English. Zhang Haotian's English was self-taught and could not be said to be professional, but it was barely enough. Chen Zhipeng whispered, knowing that the person was named Yokoichi Oda and was a manager of the client department.

Oda Hengichi quickly realized that Zhang Haotian was the leader of this group of people, and even bowed to him repeatedly. After listening to Zhang Haotian's English speaking, he changed to talk to him in fluent English. Xia Ling'er dropped out of school after junior high school due to family changes and earned money to support her family. Naturally, her English was very poor. Although Qi Jingru had been to college, she was in a bad mood and did not take serious attention to her homework. She was also mediocre in this international language. When she heard Zhang Haotian's smooth conversation with Oda Hengichi, she showed admiration. Zhang Haotian watched Xia Ling'er quietly pointing at him, and she was actually very ashamed, because he understood that his English pronunciation was inauthentic, which was far worse than Oda Hengichi.

Three young waiters took their luggage for them. Under the leadership of Yokoichi Oda, everyone arrived at the 53rd floor. There was a club lounge here, and there was also a receptionist checking in. A waitress brought them free drinks. The registered person asked them to sit on the sofa, half-squatted, and asked them politely what food they like, where they were going to play, and what special hobbies they had.

After registration, Oda Yokoichi no longer accompanied him, but instead sent the three young waiters to deliver their luggage to their room, the room number was 156.

After arriving in Room 156, the three waiters first checked the facilities in the room, and one of them introduced some of the facilities to use them, then bowed and said goodbye.

After they left, Zhang Haotian carefully checked the room, but saw that the decoration style was very strange and avant-garde, with red, green and green colors, very bright and fashionable, and the furniture was very good. There was a small bar in the living room, ranging from the best Rentou Ma Gang to Japanese sake, and it also came with some snacks. On the other side of the bar, it was accompanied by traditional Japanese coffee tables and tea sets.

First, I walked into one of the bedrooms and saw an oversized bed, then an LCD TV and a computer, and there was a decent desk with two desks and chairs. On the table beside the bed there was a bedside lamp with an electronic control panel, which could control curtains, blinds and lighting in all rooms including the bathroom.

There is a separate toilet and bathroom in the bedroom. The toilet has a heated seat, with automatic flushing and special "cleaning" functions. The bathroom bathtub can only be described as huge. The artificial wave-making function can accommodate Zhang Haotian, Shangguan Yumei and Xia Linger and the other three bathing together.

Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er have both seen the world, but this is the first time I have seen such a luxurious hotel and room, and I have been in the same place with my beloved man and my good sister. I can imagine my joy. Especially Xia Ling'er, who completely forgot that she was also a company boss, as if she was back to Girls' Generation, shouted happily, and took Shangguan Yumei to pack her luggage with a smile.

The clue that Zhang Haotian was most concerned about in his heart was Tianye Saburo's heart. Chen Zhipeng went to the hall, and he sat on the office chair in the bedroom with Rosa'er and whispered: "Shasha, is there any latest news on Tianye Saburo?"

Rosaer shook her head and said, "You said that Tano Saburo is a person called the 'Yama Lily Association'. I have asked someone to inquire about it. This 'Yama Lily Association' does exist. At that time, Japan launched a war in the whole of Asia, but there was no economic support. The Japanese Emperor Hirohito personally appointed a member of the royal family, Prince Takeda Miyagi, as the person in charge. He established the 'Yama Lily Association', plundered the property of Asian countries and then transported it back to Japan. However, the organization was disbanded after Japan's defeat, and what the members of the organization and they had done had become state secrets, which outsiders could not access, so there was no way for detective companies to do anything about it."

When Zhang Haotian heard this, his heart sank and said, "Is there really no clue at all?"

Rosaer said: "Not this. Just two days ago, the detective company I commissioned told me that they found out that there was a man named Shiraki Huanjin who had participated in the "Shan Lily Association" in the past, but there was no way to investigate."

Zhang Haotian hurriedly said, "Why?"

Rosaer said: "Because the background of this White Bird Huan Jin is quite strong, he is the current leader of the White Bird family."

Zhang Haotian looked at her and said, "White Bird Family, what kind of family is this?"

Rosa'er sighed and said, "Brother Tian, ​​this is exactly what I want to tell you. When you come to Japan, be careful not to provoke these people."

She said as she said, "In Japan, the underworld exists legally and even plays a controlling role in politics. It is very different from China. In a foreign country, you are single and weak. If you have any problems, try to be patient. You can't beat them alone."

Speaking of this, she said: "The most powerful thing in Japan is Yamaguchi Group, which is a world-famous gangster, so there is no need to mention it. The Yamaguchi Group's base camp is in Kobe. Although there is a hall in Tokyo, its overall power is not as good as another gang. This gang is the Shirago family. This family emerged in the Tokugawa era. The ancestors were the famous samurai Shiragohara, the then famous samurai. Later, the emperor unified Japan. They were royal guards for generations, famous for their loyalty and courage, and were also valued by the Japanese emperor. The most famous one is Shirago Toshio.

At the age of 32, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served in Japanese embassies in Hong Kong, the United States, China, Germany and other places, and later served as Minister of Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After the 'September 18th' Incident, he and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Secretary Chang Senke and Lin Mushiichi of the Army Province advocated that Japan withdraw from the League of Nations and support the establishment of a puppet regime in Northeast China. He participated in the planning of multiple large-scale massacres of the Chinese people. After the war, fourteen people including Tojo Hideki and Tohihara Kenji were listed as Class A war criminals and eventually died in prison..."

Rosa'er paused and continued, "The Shirato Hwano is the youngest son of Toshio Shirato. When Prince Takeda Miyagi Honto established the 'Yama Lily Association', he summoned Toshio Shirato's three sons to join the association and went to Asian countries to find and plunder property. However, his eldest son Takenoko Shirato Takenoko died in the Philippines, and his second son Yoshiro Shirato died in Hong Kong, leaving only his third son, Wakagi Hwano. However, after the war, he no longer entered politics, but brought the entire family to the underworld to develop. However, he had old age with the Emperor, and there were people in the political circles, and he had a good relationship with the third-generation Yamaguchi Group leader, which was the dominant Japanese underworld at that time. Tian Gang Ichio also wanted to use the Shirato family's relationship in politics to maintain the development of the Yamaguchi Group, so he left the land for them to restrain his subordinates to try not to compete with the Shirato family."

Zhang Haotian said: "How old is Bainu Huanjin?"

Rosaer immediately said: "I was eighty last year."

Zhang Haotian heard her answer very quickly and couldn't help but say, "Sha, it seems that you are very familiar with the White Island family."

Rosa nodded and said, "When coming to Japan, especially in the entertainment industry, it is absolutely impossible to not contact the underworld. Dong Ke and Huanjin Shirato have a good relationship, and we will pay protection fees to the Bainjin family every month. When Huanjin was eighty last year, Dong Ke took me to see him and gave him a precious blue and white porcelain from the official cellar of the Song Dynasty. These older generation Japanese were very interested in Chinese antiques. Huanjin Shirato was very happy at the time and specially instructed his son Shiratozawa to take special care of our company."

Listening to Ke Yunlu sending Chinese antiques to the Japanese, Zhang Haotian thought of the plunder of a large number of Chinese cultural relics by the Japanese. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hainu Huanjin was an important member of the 'Shan Lily Association' back then. He and Saburo Tano definitely knew him. Most of them knew his whereabouts. It was better to have clues than not."

Rosaer quickly said, "Brother Tian, ​​don't do anything randomly. This is not China, and Shiragou Huanjin is not an ordinary person. You don't know that when he was eighty last year, there were more than 500 tables on the banquet. In addition to the major Japanese gangs, many people also came to the political circle. In the Japanese underworld, in addition to the leader of the sixth Yamaguchi, Kenshi Higashi, Shiragou Huanjin, is the most powerful."

Zhang Haotian is not a reckless person. Of course, he knew that this was on someone else's territory and he would never act rashly, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility."

Rosa'er nodded and smiled and said, "Brother Tian, ​​both sisters-in-law are very beautiful, and they seem to have a good relationship. This is your blessing. I don't know what happened to you, Sanno Saburo, but the "Yama Lily Association" is related to Japan's state secrets. Don't follow up on it anymore. Take your two sisters-in-law to have fun in Japan. The scenery here is quite distinctive compared to China."

Zhang Haotian knew that Rosa'er had tried his best and did not ask any further, so he went to see Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er packing their clothes. They each had a room. As for him, it would be casual.

Gradually, night fell outside the window, and thousands of rays of light rose through the sky, illuminating the entire sky in colorful colors. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down, but saw that all the buildings were lit with colorful lights, and they were constantly changing colors, dense, but spectacular. When he entered Tokyo, he felt that S City could be compared, but now standing in Japan's second tallest building looking down, he realized that it was quite inferior. However, if S City is developing at the current speed, it may not be impossible to surpass within twenty years.

At this time, Rosa'er said that she would take Zhang Haotian and the others to welcome the dinner. Zhang Haotian was indeed a little hungry, so she took Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er to open the door and take the elevator. In the elevator, a young waiter bowed to them repeatedly and then served with a smile.

Zhang Haotian was actually a little uncomfortable with this too many bows, but he was feeling in his heart that the Japanese seemed very polite, but they would do outrageous cruel things that both humans and gods were angry, and their perverted style was ahead of the world. In their personality, they should be multifaceted. They would slowly understand this nation and this country.

Instead of eating in the hotel, she took the elevator to the underground parking lot. Rosa said she wanted to take them to a restaurant in Ginza to have the most authentic Japanese cuisine.

After driving, I arrived at Ginza Street soon. Ginza Street was much more lively at night than in the afternoon. It was crowded with people and tides. The light box advertisements in each store were lit, colorful and colorful. It exudes a strong temptation to the people who come here, showing the charm of the city that never sleeps.

I found a parking lot outside Ginza Street to park my car. Everyone walked along the street and looked at the fashionable clothes and cosmetics in the shops on the street. Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er both showed the urge to shop and wanted to go in and take a walk. But Zhang Haotian knew that it would take a lot of time to go shopping. It was impolite to let Rosa and Chen Zhipeng accompany him to starve, so he stopped him, saying that he would come again another day. Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er were not ignorant women, so he had to restrain the women's natural desire to shop and continue moving forward.

After walking for about half an hour, I arrived at the door of a brightly lit restaurant. There were two young women wearing colorful kimono and beautiful hair outside to welcome guests. Although they were not beautiful, their skin was very white and their eyebrows were very gentle.

Rosa'er and Chen Zhipeng were obviously familiar with this place, so they took Zhang Haotian and the other two into it.

Chen Zhipeng walked beside Zhang Haotian and told him that this was the famous "Matsuda Cuisine" in Ginza, which has a history of 100 years. It can be said that he is a witness to the prosperity and changes in Ginza. The Japanese cuisine he made is very authentic and the ingredients are exquisite. Although the price is several times higher than that of ordinary restaurants, the business has always been very good and there is often no seat. However, they have already booked in advance.

When I walked into the store, I saw that there was no Chinese restaurant hall, all of which were made of wooden private rooms, and voices came from the private rooms from time to time.

There was a small reception hall outside. When the group came in, a barefoot Japanese boy wearing a white turban beat a erect drum and made a melodious cry. Then another Japanese woman in a kimono came over with a long hairpin on her head. She was older and dressed more gorgeously.

The woman knew Rosa's, and she laughed and bowed, leading them into it.

Looking at Zhang Haotian's eyes staring at the Japanese woman's kimono, Chen Zhipeng told him that in fact, Japan did not have any traditional clothing in the past, but since the third century AD, Chinese robes were introduced to Japan and had an influence. The Japanese continued to absorb and improve, combining the Wu clothing and Tang Dynasty clothing popular in the Jiangxi area of ​​China and the Tang Dynasty clothing to form a kimono. However, in Japan, it is still called Wu clothing. The so-called "kimono" is just what foreigners call because most of Japan is the Yamato people. The one who just welcomed customers at the store was two unmarried girls, and they had to close their collars, with more elegant colors. The clerks who received this were married women. The collars did not have to close all collars, and they could open the area near the neck, and the clothes were generally brighter.

Listening to Chen Zhipeng's words, Zhang Haotian felt deeply that China's influence on Japan is indeed too great. In China, it is difficult for you to see the shadow of Japan, but in Japan, you can see Chinese culture everywhere, just like the names on those shops, many of which are Chinese characters, and some can easily guess what it means through one character. It should not be difficult for Chinese people to learn Japanese language and characters.

In the midst of thought, the Japanese woman had brought them to a very spacious private room with a short wooden table, but no stools and only a few seat cushions, which naturally followed the ancient Chinese style of sitting on the ground.

Five people sat down around the low table, and Rosa said something to the Japanese woman in Japanese. The Japanese woman bowed to everyone again and walked out, naturally preparing to serve the dishes.

Not long after, two other young women in kimonos walked in with dishes. After listening to Chen Zhipeng's introduction just now, Zhang Haotian glanced at the necks of the kimonos they wore were open, and they were obviously married.

When the dishes came one after another, they were all decorated with exquisite wooden plates. The clear and green look was very beautiful, and the placement was quite artistic, undoubtedly carefully designed.

There are Japanese restaurants in C and S. City, and Zhang Haotian has never been interested in eating them. However, Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er have tasted them. When they saw these dishes, they looked much better than what they had eaten in China, and they were very interested.

Chen Zhipeng’s task is to let Zhang Haotian and others understand the history and culture of Japan. Of course, he would like to introduce it. It is also called "Hanshi". The staple food is mainly rice and noodles, and the side food is mostly fresh fish and shrimp and other seafood, often accompanied by Japanese wine. It is known for its lightness. Try to maintain the original flavor of the ingredients when cooking. In terms of production, the ingredients are required to be fresh, the cutting is particular, and the placement is artistic, and the harmony and unity of "color, fragrance, taste, and utensils", especially not only pay attention to taste, but also pay attention to visual enjoyment. The food requires natural color, delicious taste, diverse shapes, and excellent utensils. The so-called "material" is the materials and methods, while "reason" is the utensils for food. It is of course a world of difference between authenticity and those who learn to borrow names by secretly.

When the dishes were served, the Japanese woman bowed and stepped out, and pulled the door. Rosa'er pointed to the dishes and introduced to Zhang Haotian. The ones she ordered today were Kobe beef, Jiang Yaozhu, sashimi, salmon sushi, tempura, stone roast, black root, angelica, and finally Japanese soup, which are common in Japanese cuisine.
