SWNOVELXO Chapter 1468 Akasaka Palace
Imperial Group has many properties in Japan, although most of them had been sold before the bubble economy.
Even then, there are still many properties in Toyo belonging to the Imperial Group and its related companies. However, Yang Ming's only residence in Japan is a villa in Setagaya.
When Yang Ming, He Chaoluo, Ying La, Lin Xiuzhi and others went to the villa, the villa's housekeeper Fujii Ruri was already waiting here with her maid.
Yang Ming had not seen Fujii Ruri for many years, but now he saw him again and found that he seemed much prettier and more elegant.
The clothes and grooming are really different in every aspect.
The other party turned out to be a Dongyang girl from a small place below Dongyang. She came to Dongyang because she escaped from marriage.
And because he knew Chinese, he was valued by Yang Ming.
"Welcome home, master." Fujii Ruri said from the side.
Yang Ming nodded and went into the Setagaya Villa.
Now this villa is bigger because the surrounding area was bought by Xu Qingsheng and now Li Yongfeng, and the area has been expanded many times.
Although Yang Ming would only stay for a short period of time every time he came to Dongyang, his safety was of the utmost importance.
It was precisely because of that that Xu Qingsheng and Li Yongfeng decided to buy the surrounding villas and install surveillance cameras around them.
This time, when Yang Ming arrived, he brought dozens of bodyguards, who were likely to take over the surrounding area.
Yang Ming went inside, followed by Fujii Ruri.
After not visiting for several years, Yang Ming found that the Setagaya villa was still the same.
Of course, the koi carps raised here seem to have gained a lot of weight.
"Are the koi still those koi?"
"Yes, Master." Fujii Ruri said.
"You should call me Mr. Yang or Mr. Yang."
"Yes, sir."
When they were bought, these koi were relatively fat. Unexpectedly, a few years later, under the care of Fujii Ruri and others, they now look even fatter.
Oriental people prefer koi carp and believe that koi carp can bring wealth, which has led to domestic and even Japanese Chinese circles believing that koi carp can bring wealth.
Of course, in ancient times, the Japanese people from country Z liked koi, so they received this cultural influence and preserved it.
In fact, in Yang Ming's opinion, the price of Japanese koi is very expensive, more because of the hype of those people.
In particular, some koi owners can sell a koi for tens of millions of yen, or even over 100 million yen per piece.
To ordinary people, they are just koi.
Yang Ming stood there and watched. Fujii Ruri and others didn't know what Yang Ming was thinking.
"Sir, do I need to prepare lunch for you?" Fujii Ruri asked.
"No, we have already eaten. For dinner, Mr. Murayama will entertain me at the Tokyo State Guest House."
The Tokyo State Guest House is considered the most important hotel in Japan to entertain foreign guests.
This time, Yang Ming came not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of the Imperial Group. It was very important that Mr. Murayama and all walks of life in Japan recognized it.
Since Yang Ming and others don't have to have dinner here at Setagaya Villa, Fujii Ruri doesn't have to prepare it.
After half an hour.
. . .
Yang Ming returned to his master room.
The master room was still as well taken care of as before by Fujii Ruri and others.
However, Yang Ming really doesn't like the Japanese decoration style.
When Yang Ming went to take a nap and woke up, it was 16:35 pm Tokyo time.
This time was originally the time for afternoon tea.
However, because he has to go to Dongyang Guesthouse to attend the dinner specially hosted for him tonight.
At this time, Mr. Murayama's secretary had come in advance to wait.
I'm just waiting outside now.
Yang Ming was going to take Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Ying La, and Chen Zhenhua's bodyguards with him.
Going outside.
Mr. Murayama's secretary was already waiting.
The two had already met at Haneda International Airport in the afternoon.
"Sir Yang, on behalf of Mr. Murayama, I am here to welcome you to the guest house for tonight's dinner."
Yang Ming got into his private Rolls-Royce.
Depart from Setagaya Villa.
Then go to Akasaka 2-chome 1-1, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Along the way, Yang Ming looked outside curiously.
Lin Xiuzhi, on the other hand, introduced the Tokyo Guest House to Yang Ming.
Akasaka Palace, also known as Akasaka Guest House or Guest House, is the largest Western-style palace in the East and was built in 1908.
This century-old building includes two floors above ground and one underground floor, with a total area of 1.5 square meters.
Formerly a guest house, the Emperor of Japan lived here from 1873 to 1889.
A feast of cherry blossoms or chrysanthemums would be held in the garden there to welcome diplomats, dignitaries and other important guests. The French writer Pierre Rody once described a feast he attended.
In 1922, when the Prince of Wales visited Japan, he was arranged to live in this palace.
After World War II, the Library of Congress was temporarily moved to this building.
It is located in the central area of Tokyo, adjacent to the Imperial Palace. It was once a palace built specifically for the prince.
Due to its excessive luxury, the palace remained uninhabited for more than half of its century-old history.
This majestic palace was built in the early 20th century and is a product of the Meiji Restoration era in Japan. Regardless of its architectural style, style or function, it carries the transformation of an Eastern country into Western civilization.
The palace was built for the crown prince at that time, but now it is a national guest house, specially used to receive heads of state.
"When the old gentleman came to Japan, he was greeted at the Tokyo State Guest House as his hotel."
From this point of view, when the old man came to Japan, he was indeed very popular in Japan.
Lin Xiuzhi mentioned the old gentleman.
Yang Ming thought about the old gentleman's current situation, but he didn't expect that more than ten years had passed.
. . .
More than an hour later.
The Rolls-Royce car in which Yang Ming was sitting stopped.
He had already seen a large Western-style building.
This is the Tokyo State Guest House.
In order to welcome Sir Yang's arrival, this place looks different from the past.
At first glance, it has a green roof, an exterior wall made of gray-white rocks, arched window frames, and exquisitely carved columns. Everything is thick and colorful, thick and brilliant.
At this time, Mr. Murayama, the ruler of Toyo, and his wife, as well as Prince Toyo and his wife, personally welcomed Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, here.
After seeing Sir Yang get out of the car, Mr. and Mrs. Murayama and Mr. and Mrs. Prince Toyo had already greeted him.
"Sir Yang, you are very welcome to attend the dinner held at the Guest House tonight."
If Sir Yang hadn't owned a mansion in Dongyang, the Murayama couple might have arranged for Sir Yang to live here at the Guest House.
Yang Ming shook hands with them and went inside.
It has to be said that this palace that receives the most important foreign guests is different. It looks very luxurious inside and out.
However, Yang Ming had not seen anything in these years, and he no longer felt anything.
