Chapter 1,116 Business is booming(1/2)
On the morning after the opening ceremony, Ning Weimin, who got off work with his employees yesterday and lived in the employee dormitory, got up early and started paying attention to relevant news in the media.
Although it is definitely not available in "Reference News" and domestic newspapers.
There are newspapers run by the Republic of China in Japan, but they are only weekly newspapers at the moment and are not available for the time being.
But that doesn't stop Ning Weimin from running outside and buying Japanese newspapers based on yesterday's list of Japanese media.
And after coming back, he can turn on the TV and broadcast the channel to Fuji TV to wait for the news program.
However, we have to admit that there is quite a gap between reality and Ning Weimin's expectations.
Because he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, he searched for a long time in that day's "Nihon Sankei Shimbun" before he found a piece of tofu under an unimportant page.
If he hadn't been particularly concerned about the relevant news, he would have probably missed it at a glance.
Not happy, not happy.
Not even giving the embassy face?
It seems that the country's strength is not enough. This is being looked down upon!
Ning Weimin was a little lost in thought for a moment while holding the newspaper in his hand, but he quickly understood his doubts.
After all, today's Republic cannot be compared with what it will be thirty years later, and the country's GDP is less than one-third of Japan's.
Although it hurts a little in my heart, there is nothing I can do about it. The rejuvenation of the motherland will take time.
Fortunately, Japan's prosperity is nothing more than a dream.
The Republic takes its place and completes the counterattack is the final reality.
So he quickly regained his composure and continued to read carefully.
There is no Internet even in Japan these days, so newspapers have a strong say.
After all, "Sanze Shimbun" is the fifth largest newspaper in Japan. It is better to publish a piece of tofu on it than nothing, and it will have a certain publicity effect.
Not to mention, in this small piece of tofu, the praise for Tan Palace went to Ning Weimin's heart.
The reporter who wrote the article, in addition to the usual routine, used official language to introduce some of the guests attending the opening of Ginza Dannomiya Restaurant, and its significance to Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
He also highlighted the high-end positioning of Chinese palace cuisine in the report.
It is believed that the existence of Ginza Danmiya Restaurant has enriched Japan's high-end catering market.
They also spoke highly of the dishes presented by the chefs that day and thought the cooking techniques were amazing and very creative.
The conclusion given is that Chinese palace cuisine is completely different from the Japanese understanding of Chinese food.
It’s worth trying and appreciating for gourmets.
After reading these few sentences, Ning Weimin finally felt a little happier.
I felt that my busy day yesterday was not in vain, running around and making excuses for my efforts.
Although at the end, the reporter couldn't help but start boasting and trying his best to put gold in their own faces.
It is said that Chinese palace cuisine cannot wait to enter the Tokyo market, which proves that the Japanese market is becoming more and more attractive to foreign brands.
I believe that in the not-too-distant future, Tokyo's Ginza will surely become the number one shopping district that brings together the world's leading consumer brands, and the most expensive retail venue, completely surpassing New York's Fifth Avenue.
But Ning Weimin couldn't afford to be angry about such a thing.
Because isn’t that what people are like?
The more you lack something, the more you have to pretend that you have it.
When it does happen, we won’t brag about it.
Besides, why can’t Japanese people have a little Ah Q spirit?
They are miserable enough. They were completely forced to this point by the United States.
What should I do if I can't resist? I just have to learn to enjoy it.
Why don't you dream of being a slave and bullying your master today?
This is called the Lord of Hell playing tricks, feeling comfortable for a while.
How can it be true to compare a country that is doomed to collapse with him?
Ning Weimin can completely understand this.
After reading the news he wanted to read, Ning Weimin lost interest in the "Industrial and Economic News". He threw the newspaper away completely and switched to the next newspaper to read again.
This one was pretty good, and the news about the opening of Tan Palace Restaurant was actually published on the front page of the fourth page. The page was at least four or five times larger than the "Sanzai Shimbun".
The title is also very tempting and gossipy enough to easily arouse readers' interest in reading.
"Big discovery! The most upscale celebrity restaurant in Ginza appears! Keiko Matsumoto! The queen of Chinese palace cuisine has arrived!"
The most important thing is that this newspaper praises Tan Gong endlessly, and the praise is quite strong.
Almost all the articles are filled with eye-catching words such as "unimaginable gorgeous experience", "mysterious Chinese cooking secrets", "the diet secrets of the most beautiful woman in the Showa era".
Photos of the chef preparing the three dishes at the beginning were also published.
Basically the newspaper is giving advice to its readers.
Everyone, go and eat! Don’t you want to experience such gorgeous palace cuisine?
If you have the financial means, you must go and see it! Otherwise, you will regret it!
Are there any fans of Keiko Matsumoto? Why not support your idol? Maybe you will actually meet her in a restaurant?
This level of publicity and gossip...
Ning Weimin only took a cursory glance and became excited.
He was quite satisfied with the newspaper and said that he was really on his way. It seemed that he could cooperate more if there were opportunities in the future.
Thinking of this, he specifically looked at the name of the newspaper.
Then I was a little surprised to discover that this newspaper turned out to be "Sports Daily".
To be honest, he felt strange at the scene yesterday.
Why would a reporter claiming to be from the Sports News come when the news about the celebrity gathering at the restaurant’s opening was released?
As a result, when he opened the newspaper in his hand, he found that in addition to the main pages containing reports on sports events and celebrities, they were all filled with news about celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Co-authoring Japanese culture and sports does not separate them. The so-called sports newspapers are just gossip publications.
This... is okay, but this newspaper has no editorials or comments, and the language is colloquial.
It is neither impartial nor official. I really don’t know how many readers this newspaper has...
Ning Weimin continued to browse and found that the life and entertainment pages of two newspapers also mostly mentioned the news about the opening of Ginza Tan Palace Restaurant. They were also small tofu cubes, and they were even better than the tofu cubes in "Sanzai Shimbun".
One size smaller.
Praise is just a formality and is really meaningless.
There is another entertainment tabloid with a decent layout, "Nihon Sports News", which has sports as its masthead category.
But the praise was not as strong as that of "Sports Daily", and it seemed that he still had bad thoughts, as if he wanted to eat Matsumoto Keiko's melon.
Half of the article is about the opening of Ginza Danmiya, and the other half is about Keiko Matsumoto's status as a shareholder.
Both the words and the words reflect that Keiko Matsumoto's career has been bleak in recent years. She may have realized that she was unable to save her acting career, so she tried to run a restaurant.
Ning Weimin felt extremely uncomfortable with such public opinion guidance and dark speculation, and he blocked the newspaper in his heart.
Unexpectedly, asking Matsumoto Keiko to do a favor would cause her to be questioned by others.
He wants to say dirty words to the people he loves!
So I decided to hide away as much as possible from now on and try not to have any interactions with this media.
But then again, after all, you don’t have to spend money.
Since Ning Weimin spared no expense to create such a big scene, all the media involved were the icing on the cake after all.
What really made Ning Weimin happy that day was the report from Fuji TV.
I bet this TV station and the newspaper "Sanseibun Shimbun" belong to the same company, are related companies to each other, and are both part of the Fuji Sankei Group.
Although the "Sanze Shimbun" did not give much publicity, Fuji TV's morning news program gave it enough time, at least several minutes.
Not only were most of the famous scenes at the opening ceremony captured, but the TV station was also quite capable of telling stories.
For example, the opening of Keiko Matsumoto was the scene where she announced her participation in Ginza Danmiya.
Fujidai juxtaposes her reasons for unforgettable Chinese food and Yamaguchi Yoshiko's memories of her old days in China.
The news anchor said, "I wonder what the magic power of Chinese cuisine is, that it can make two generations of Japan's most beautiful movie stars never forget it."
In addition, Fuji TV also focused on broadcasting clips of Chinese and Japanese celebrities singing on stage to add to the entertainment.
Since Japan's Keiko Matsumoto, Ayumi Ishida, and Shinji Tanimura, and China's Cui Jian, Zhang Qiang, and Teresa Teng, under the auspices of Weng Qianyu, all sang their respective hits, it was a star-studded event.
The news anchor compared the sideshow on the day of the celebration to "a small Red and White Song Festival between China and Japan."
Especially when Teresa Teng and Yoshiko Yamaguchi took the initiative to take the stage and sang the two songs "When Will You Come Again" and "Tuberculosis" on the same stage, the TV station gave the two close-ups.
