After walking not far, my eyes suddenly lit up. I saw a small pool not far away, with a wooden small Heju next to it. Zhou Liwen knelt in front of Heju, and a woman in a kimono was showing him a tea ceremony.

As the name suggests, the tea ceremony is the charm of tea. From a historical perspective, it was introduced to Japan from the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty and later reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. With the evolution of Chinese history, the authentic tea ceremony has been passed down in Japan. Although many Chinese people like to drink tea now, many people are very knowledgeable about tea, but for tea ceremony, it is almost rare to truly understand and show.

At present, some cities have created tea culture and invite some so-called tea artists to perform for everyone. These are no longer real tea ceremony, but can only be called tea art. Don’t underestimate the difference in this word. The slightest difference is a thousand miles away. Although the Japanese have personality flaws and historical sins, the maintenance of traditional culture is still worthy of attention.

Seeing Zhou Liwen focusing on the tea ceremony, Yao Liang and Lao Lin couldn't help but stop and stood quietly not far away to avoid disturbing. Looking at the kimono woman's fingers agile and solemn and pious, it seemed that what was in front of her was not just a simple tea set and tea leaves, but a kind of spirit and culture, which made people feel the spiritual impact the tea ceremony brought to people.

About ten minutes later, when the last procedure was completed, the kimono woman held up the teacup with her hands in her traditional way. Zhou Liwen also raised her hand solemnly to take it, and then she gestured with her eyebrows before placing it in her mouth.

"Good tea ceremony" Zhou Liwen praised with a smile.

Although the kimono woman could not understand Chinese, she also knew what Zhou Liwen meant and smiled slightly to express her gratitude.

At this time, Zhou Liwen saw Yao Liang and Lao Lin not far away and nodded slightly to them.

"Jay Chou"

"Here, sit down and try it together." Zhou Liwen raised his hand and smiled.

Yao Liang and Lao Lin were kneeling down in the empty seat next to Zhou Liwen. After they sat down, the kimono woman brewed a cup of tea for them. As Zhou Liwen looked just now, the two of them took a bite of tea awkwardly and praised them at the same time.

Zhou Liwen said a sentence in Japanese, then bowed slightly to the kimono woman opposite. The other party replied with a smile, then bowed slightly, then got up and left in small steps. After she left, Zhou Liwen looked at Yao Liang and the others and said with a smile: "Okay, don't pretend, look at your kneeling awkwardness, just make sure you're just sitting."

"Haha, it's still Jay Chou's consideration. Yao Xing is not a big deal. My old bones can't stand the tossing. My legs will be numb after sitting for a few minutes." Lao Lin immediately laughed. He quickly changed his posture and sat cross-legged, and at the same time mocked himself. Yao Liang also smiled and said that he was not used to this kind of sitting method. It was too difficult, so it was still comfortable to sit cross-legged.

"I said Jay Chou, this tea ceremony looks a bit tasty, and it's just like that when you drink it in your mouth." In the past, Yao Liang called Zhou Liwen, but over the years, with the difference in identity distance between the two parties, he gradually changed from Jay Chou to Jay Chou. Moreover, Lao Lin is here again today, so he still spoke with this title.

"You guys, the key to the tea ceremony is the way, not the tea. Do you think you are making a cup of tea in the office to quench your thirst? Do you know, the lady just now is the most famous tea ceremony master in Japan. It is rare for ordinary people to meet, let alone ask her to demonstrate the tea ceremony."

"So awesome" Yao Liang widened his eyes and felt a little disbelief.

Zhou Liwen smiled and said that she was qualified to invite her. Generally, only high-ranking officials, or rich and powerful men, could invite her, and it depends on whether the other party was willing. And even if she agreed, her cost per time was very high. Speaking of this, Yao Liang couldn't help asking her how much it cost, and Lao Lin next to her also showed a curious expression. Zhou Liwen said a number lightly, which shocked them all. You must know that this cost is indeed considerable. If it were placed in China, it would be more than enough to have a mistress.

Seeing that the two of them looked strange, they didn't know what they thought of. Zhou Liwen laughed and scolded in his heart, so he stopped mentioning this matter. Then he asked them whether the itinerary was going smoothly, and then asked about the recent situation of Shanghai Bank.

Because he didn't know what Zhou Liwen was trying to call them over this time, Lao Lin was very careful when answering, for fear of saying something wrong. As for Yao Liang, he added on the side, and also made a detailed report when Zhou Liwen asked about the business situation.

"You may wonder why I asked you to come?" Zhou Liwen asked with a smile.

Lao Lin and Yao Liang exchanged their eyes, and Yao Liang nodded and said, "Yes, Jay Chou, Japan is not far from Shanghai. Since you are here in Japan, why don't you go back to Shanghai to negotiate directly? Could it be..."

"Don't think about it all." Zhou Liwen waved his hand and said, "I came to Japan this time to discuss some business with SoftBank. It's a way to find you to meet. Besides, you also said that the two places are not far away, and it's convenient for you to come here, so I arranged the place here. Besides, what I want to talk to you today is quite confidential, and I don't want too many people to know in advance."

After hearing this, Lao Lin and Yao Liang finally felt relieved. It seemed that Zhou Liwen was not trying to meet them to seek guilt or something. However, what was the secret that Zhou Liwen mentioned? They couldn't understand for a while.

"Lao Lin, remember when I talked to you when Lao Su left?" Zhou Liwen suddenly pulled the topic and talked about the past. Of course, Lao Lin remembered the scene when Zhou Liwen extended an olive branch to him at that time, and it was precisely because of this opportunity that he became the owner of the Shanghai Bank. However, why did Zhou Liwen suddenly mention this? Many years have passed, and Yao Liang is there next to him. What is his intention?

"Of course I remember that if I weren't Jay Chou's support, I wouldn't be like me today. I have always remembered Jay Chou's love for me..."

"Haha, there is no need to say these words. I don't want to hear these scammers when I meet you today." Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand when he saw Lao Lin's confusion on his face. He asked with a smile: "I remember talking to you about Or listing."

"Remember, I remember." Lao Lin nodded quickly: "At that time, Jay Chou's company was preparing to go public, and I was still feeling the same back then."

"Haha, then do you remember what you sighed?" Zhou Liwen continued to ask with a smile.

"How could I not remember? I felt that it was a great opportunity to be listed in the United States. If our Shanghai Bank could also..." At this point, Lao Lin suddenly gave a meal. He seemed to have a look back and suddenly widened his eyes, with ecstasy expressions on his face: "Dr. Zhou Zhou, are you calling us here to prepare to list the bank... in the United States?"
