People born in the 1990s may not be able to imagine what kind of existence Japan in the 1980s was for us.
At that time, not long after the reform and opening up began, when we first saw the country's doors, the people of the country were shocked by various imported products from Japan.
In the early 1980s, Japan's all technology fields were leading, including shipbuilding, automobiles, home appliances, electronics, and semiconductors, and was conquering cities and landing around the world.
The products of companies such as Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony, Sharp, Hitachi, Sanyo and Mitsubishi are well-known all over the world, let alone for backward republics.
Just like the future of China, Huawei, which is far ahead and capable of changing the world.
There is also a father of LCD panels like Sharp in Japan.
Therefore, as soon as Japanese electrical appliances entered the mainland of China, they immediately launched a dimensional reduction attack.
At that time, if anyone had Sanyo's washing machine, Panasonic's TV, and Toshiba's refrigerator, it was not only a symbol of quality of life, but also a symbol of social status.
Even after the bursting of the bubble, by the 1990s, Japanese home appliances were still a popular product in the mainland Chinese market.
At that time, a Panasonic 29-inch color TV could be sold for 15,800 yuan.
But how much money does our Chinese earn in a month?
It can be said that no matter how poorly designed any Japanese home appliance is, it is a symbol of quality in China, and you can easily get money.
Who would have thought that in another twenty years, the mainland Chinese market would basically not see Japanese home appliances.
Not only can't see Japanese home appliances in the mainland Chinese market, but our home appliances in China have occupied the Japanese market.
Even on the street in Akihabara, Haier, Hisense and Midea are all placed in the main position, while Japanese products are just like breathing bags.
If Ning Weimin had not seen this kind of counterattack with his own eyes, he would not have believed it because it was too magical.
But this is another story of revival that belongs exclusively to our great powers in the East.
Anyway, let’s say that, it’s because Japan was at its peak in the fall of 1988.
Even Ning Weimin, who has been in Japan for many years, has returned to accompany his wife to give birth, and is stunned by the new changes, let alone other people who have been brought to Japan by him.
The leadership teams like Gu Sier and Longtan Lake Park are a group of people who empathize with it.
After they came to Japan together, they first stayed in Tokyo, Japan for two days, and then went to Osaka, Kobe, Nagasaki, Kagoshima and other places. They were not even spared Hokkaido and Okinawa, and they were all coastal cities in Japan.
During their rushing ten days, they had only been able to take a walk on the streets on the afternoons and evenings of the first day. During the day, they were arranged by Ning Weimin to visit the aquarium and aquarium almost every day.
It can be said that the schedule is very tight and quite pragmatic.
It is no better than other groups in China that are actually publicly paid tourism under the name of "inspection".
But even so, the general abundance of the Japanese intuitively brought a great impact on the delegation.
Although the delegation had only been in Japan for more than ten days, everything was full of glimpses and a quick look.
But because this feeling is almost always done, it is composed of 24 hours a day, the experience of traveling between different cities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and entry and exit in different public places, and you can stimulate your spirit at all times without your careful attention.
Like various shops, shopping malls, hotels, bathhouses, bars, restaurants, izakayas and fast food and convenience stores open 24 hours a day, as well as elevators, subways, taxis, public telephones, expressways, Shinkansen, airports, these urban infrastructures form a beautiful world like heaven.
For the inspection team, the deepest feeling they left was that Japan's city was very modern in all aspects.
The street view of a Japanese city can be said to be a neon exhibition, fully reflecting the true meaning of the three words "city never sleeps".
This shock is beyond words for Chinese people who need to save electricity and have to spend a few days a week lighting candles.
Even if Chen Shuping is like this, he is still frightened to feel it again as a person who has been to Japan as the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven Garden.
No wonder someone would say this decades later - "It's not a mistake for that generation to admire foreign countries, because the gap between home and abroad is too big, the broader the horizon, the more desperate it will be." This is actually a bit reasonable.
Especially for the main purpose of the inspection team, Japan, as an island country, had originally had extra rich marine resources and was good at using them. In the 1980s, the demand for leisure and entertainment in the Japanese people surged, and aquariums emerged as family travel destinations.
Therefore, Japan is also at the world's leading level in the construction of aquariums and aquariums, which made the delegation feel very eye-opening and the trip is worth it.
In fact, at this stage, major cities in Japan have already had many venues, and interactive projects such as touch pools and night exhibitions are often set up.
For example, the whale hall built in Nagasaki to commemorate the stranded whale baby, and the Ibaraki Prefecture Dashi Aquarium with a shark-themed exhibition area are all popular tourist destinations.
Although compared with the future, the planned area of ​​aquariums in Japan is actually relatively limited at present.
Basically, there are venues with a floor of three or four, with a total of more than 10,000 square meters.
Construction has not started for several famous ocean parks in the future, such as Tokyo Ocean Park, Hachikkaido Ocean Park, and Osaka Sea Tour Museum.
But the problem is that there is no such place in our country at all. Apart from a Qingdao Aquarium built in the 1930s, its exhibition content and facilities are not comparable to those of Japan.
How many Chinese people have seen specimens of marine organisms in this era?
Just by witnessing the fierce sharks and marine animals for the first time, by feeding fish, dolphins, intimate interactions with seals and sea lions, taking photos, these inspection teams with learning purposes were inexplicably excited and incredible.
Now, compared with the "Dragon Palace Construction Plan" proposed by Ning Weimin, these people were almost excited to have goose bumps.
Because Ning Weimin's things that sounded imaginative, they have found a way to achieve them in reality.
Needless to say, once the Dragon Palace in Longtan Lake is successfully built, it is actually not necessary to reach the level of Japan.
As long as you study 50% or 60%, it will be enough for Longtan Lake Park to be famous all over the country and become a leader in the industry.
In the future, it will inevitably attract tourists from all directions.
What's more, Ning Weimin had some ideas, such as using the aquarium to open an undersea restaurant and hiring divers to play mermaids, which even the Japanese could not have thought of.
If this is achieved, it will be the world's first. Longtan Lake Park will definitely soar to the sky. I'm afraid that even the Beijing Amusement Park next door will be more than comparable.
The Longtan Lake is really no longer a pool of stagnant water.
Otherwise, if the mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be spiritual, if there are water, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual.
With the guidance of Ning Weimin, the immortal, Longtan Lake raised its own dragon.
As for Gu Sier, who likes to play with fish the most in his life, the mental stimulation he felt was the strongest among everyone.
First, because he was born at the bottom of society and was a child who grew up in a slum in Nancheng Hutong. He had never seen much of the world.
Secondly, he really likes fish, which is his biggest hobby in his life and his only life pursuit.
However, he never thought that fish could still be raised like this.
I didn’t expect that there is still a place in this world where so many marine creatures and aquariums of various colors can be brought together.
This refresh of cognition has made him feel like he is floating and reborn, just like a person who is cultivating immortals can see his appearance after forming a elixir in the foundation-building realm.
Perhaps because he was too excited and too happy, he was in Japan and seemed to be soaked in a stimulant. Because he was so excited, his brain kept secreting dopamine, and even his physiological condition was a little abnormal.
During the day, I took Ning Weimin to take pictures of him in the aquarium and didn't even have time to eat.
I thought about the scene I saw during the day at night, but I couldn’t sleep at all.
In his state, he doesn't eat, drink, or sleep, and his eyes shine. He is so happy that even his wife and children are almost forgotten. In fact, it is almost the same as some special groups.
Fortunately, the Japanese police did not notice him, otherwise they would have to undergo a urine test to eliminate the suspicion.
In short, this trip to Japan is of great significance to anyone in the inspection team.
Through seeing the truth, Ning Weimin’s plan to build the Dragon Palace was no longer a talk on paper for them, but he had a real grasp and saw a way out for the future. Everyone reached a consensus direction of efforts in a subtle way.
Comrade!
This word, which sounds a bit outdated, has already had a real meaning when the delegation left Japan.
Even the inspection team no longer exists for concerns about funds.
Because at the last day's farewell banquet, Ning Weimin not only told the inspection team in person that the amount of investment he said in the capital that the amount of 10 million yuan he invested in was not estimated based on RMB, but was actually estimated based on US dollars.
Moreover, at the banquet, Ning Weimin also invited representatives from three Japanese construction companies and design firms with corresponding qualifications to meet everyone.
He said that he had communicated with several Japanese companies about the relevant plans. At the latest next month, these Japanese design firms will send people to Beijing to measure the site, and Longtan Lake needs cooperation and assistance in Beijing.
In the end, the Dragon Palace plan will adopt a bidding method to select the best from several Japanese companies.
At the same time, Ning Weimin was also urging the director of Longtan Lake Garden to find a way to complete the procedures and obtain approval from the superior supervisory unit as soon as possible.
He also said in person that as long as the project approval procedures are approved, the 2 billion yen used to hire Japanese builders in the early stage to purchase the design plan will be immediately received.
What does this mean?
This shows that Ning Weimin is reliable in doing things. With the belief that this matter will be accomplished, out of trust in Chen Shuping, he has already started to mobilize resources in advance to actually operate.
It also shows that everything is ready but the east wind is not needed. What is needed now is that Longtan Lake Park must unite and work hard as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it is not others who are dragging their backs, but they are themselves.
Almost all the people in the inspection team understood that this project was even more important and larger than they thought.
Not only are Japanese builders required to provide key parts construction services, but domestic builders also need to complete the rest of the sculpture beautification work of the subjective sculpture.
The investment in funds is huge, and the time period will not be short, probably it will take at least two or three years.
Then naturally, you cannot delay it. The faster the progress, the better it will be. The more you delay, the more you delay it.
So that's how it is. The inspection team comes and goes in a hurry.
Five days later, the first draft of the Longgong Aquarium project planning book was enriched by the entire Longtan Lake leadership team based on Ning Weimin's planning, and collected it out for brainstorming. The top leader Chen Shuping personally went to the Tourism Bureau and the Garden Bureau to lobby for familiar old bosses.
There is also a planning book, which Qiao Wanlin helped to send to the district government for a review by a deputy district mayor.
If nothing unexpected happens, the first modern aquarium in Beijing may also be the first in the country, and the project will be launched and operated ten years ahead of schedule.
However, things in the world are still so interesting. Ning Weimin is concerned about using Japan's advanced experience and construction technology to develop new tourism and cultural projects to promote the economic development of the mainland.
There are also smart Japanese people who are thinking about using cheap resources from mainland China to make money for themselves.
And some creativity came together.
For example, the Kumaya Group of Japan Co., Ltd., which had just run to Hainan and captured 30 square kilometers of land, recently went to the Thirteen Tombs Reservoir in Beijing to find another piece of land they were interested in.
The staff of several Gangcheng Branches came to the field inspection and were responsible for communicating with local cadres.
The special historical factors of Hong Kong City make many of them have no concept of compatriots, but instead feel that they can get everything they need by relying on serving foreign companies.
Just like at the moment, they stood next to the reservoir and were working hard to deceive the reservoir and local cadres.
"Our company was founded in 1898, and is one of the five largest contractors in Japan. It has a very strong strength. If we come to invest, your place will soon become a crowded tourist destination."
"May I ask, what kind of scenic spots will your company open here? How much capital is going to invest?"
"We plan to invest in amusement parks, amusement parks with modern equipment, hotels and restaurants. The specific investment amount requires both parties to sign an agreement and only after the specific plan is designed can it be estimated. However, I personally think that such a project costs tens of millions of yuan."
"Ten millions?"
"so much!"
Local cadres and reservoir cadres were shocked, and they were also real.
"We are in remote areas, aren't you worried about losing money?"
The people from Hong Kong who worked for the Japanese laughed when they heard this.
The leader said, "You don't have to worry about this. Multinational companies like us are so experienced in operating such projects, they will only make profits and not lose money. Besides, although you are remote, there are also good places. Look at your place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the air is so good. It is not too far from the capital, just thirty kilometers. So if we use the Chinese people's worship of dragons, build a water amusement park with the theme of dragons, do some water projects, and open tourist buses, how could there be no tourists? People in the capital will come to play in a vast array of places."
Local cadres and reservoir cadres were immediately moved by this wonderful idea.
"Hey, this idea is a great one. It's worthy of being a large multinational enterprise. I really have an idea."
"That's it. We'll be relieved if you say this."
But they were really happy a little early. At this time, another employee of Kumaya Group said, "Don't worry, we still need to make clear some things. Although it is cooperation, at most you will only have a piece of land. The funding and construction technology of our Kumaya Group will probably be fully responsible for it. Even the equipment must be purchased by us from Japan. So we hope that after this project is built, the early profits must be given priority. Dividends can only be carried out after we return the money. Do you agree?"
This sentence immediately made the cadres difficult because they have been poor for too long, so who wouldn't want to see the money earlier?
"Don't you have any dividends at all? You can just get a little bit less." Someone finally spoke.
But even so, the people in Kumaya Group were a little unhappy, and someone immediately added.
"This is not possible. Our Japanese companies cooperate with any Chinese unit. Don't think you have a loss. Although you may not be able to pay dividends in the early stage, we can still bring you local employment opportunities, promote local economy, and create taxes. This amusement park has such a large investment, which will not last ten or twenty years. As long as it becomes famous, you still have to worry about not having money to make money. If we didn't come, there would be someone here to invest, and you should look at it in the long run."
So, the inexperienced cadres were taken into account again.
"That's right."
Chapter completed!
