Chapter 418: Proud of Me!
The weather in October is clear and cool.
It is neither too hot nor too cold, perfect for traveling.
This time when Baichuan Feng and his friends returned to Akita, the two families still went out together.
After all, it is the grandchildren’s first birthday, so there is no need to say more about the deep affection in the hearts of the elders.
Because there were many people accompanying him, Shirakawa Feng still chose to charter a plane. There were about twenty people in total, so a small or medium-sized passenger plane was enough.
"Ya~Ya~Ya...Oga~San", "Hai~Hai~"
After getting on the plane, the babbling little Qingkong kept making a fuss in Tanaka Yuko's arms.
He was curious about everything around him. The entourage coming and going and the airport outside the porthole were all objects of his observation.
As for my younger sister Xiao Yasheng, she was sleeping soundly in the stroller at this moment.
"Let's buy a plane later." After sitting down next to Tanaka Yuko, Shirakawa Feng let out a sigh.
"Eh?" Tanaka Yuko turned her head in surprise, "Private jet? Isn't it too..."
She wondered if it was too ostentatious, as there were only a handful of people in Japan who owned private jets at the moment.
Moreover, the Japanese government has very strict control over airspace, and all airports and flight routes have strict restrictions on aircraft.
Not to mention the complicated application process, the various restrictions that come with the application are outrageous.
In addition, because Japan is an island country, sometimes the climate conditions are not suitable for small aircraft flights, so there are usually not many applications for private aircraft.
However, Baichuan Feng had no such concerns. He waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Don't worry about these, and don't worry about whether it will attract attention. I will apply for a special channel when the time comes, and ordinary people will not be able to see it."
I just want to spend money. It would be boring to keep everything to myself.
Baichuan Feng endured being low-key, reserved in social interactions, and bowing everywhere.
But he had to spend money secretly, just like a thief, which made Baichuan Feng very unhappy.
"Not only airplanes, but also yachts need to be organized. Neon doesn't have much else, but it has many ports.
By then, you can go wherever you want, from Tokyo Bay to Akita Port.
If it doesn’t work out, at worst I can go to Europe or the United States, where I can do whatever I want.”
Seeing that Shirakawa Kaede was getting more and more excited, Tanaka Yuko couldn't help but quietly reach out and touch his forehead.
"Hey~ That's too much~" Baichuan Feng almost laughed at her silly actions.
"Xiao Feng has become quite manly now."
It was unclear whether she was praising or teasing, but the smile on Yuko Tanaka's face had a hint of mischief.
Bai Chuanfeng's eyes narrowed, "I'll deal with you tonight."
Her pretty face turned red and Tanaka Yuko spat softly.
"Anyway, it's settled. I'll have someone look for a suitable service provider after I return to Tokyo.
Most of these private jets and yachts need to be customized, which is a bit troublesome~"
Shirakawa Kaede, who was caught in troubles that most people would envy, chatted and laughed with his family along the way, and the plane arrived at Odate Airport in less than an hour.
Yes, this time Shirakawa Kaede landed at the newly opened Odate Airport.
After three years of uninterrupted construction, Odate Airport was officially opened this spring.
On the day of the port opening, Shirakawa Kaede also attended the opening ceremony here.
But compared to the empty scenery back then, the current Odate Airport has changed a lot.
After getting off the plane, Shirakawa Feng saw buses coming and going on the tarmac not far away, picking up and dropping off passengers.
The busy scene gave Shirakawa Feng the illusion that he was at Tokyo Airport.
It seems that the passenger flow at Odate Airport is much greater than expected.
"Xiao Feng!~" At this time, Torataro and others saw Shirakawa Feng and the others getting off the plane, and began to greet them loudly from afar.
Baichuan Feng turned his head and saw this guy jogging towards them excitedly with Damaru and a few others.
"Koutaro, you've gotten a lot darker."
"Haha~" The dark-skinned Kotaro laughed heartily.
"Xiao Feng, you have become much whiter."
"You bastard~"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they immediately gave each other a bear hug.
"How's it going here in Akita, is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, with me, Kotaro, here, everything will be fine."
"Hey, be humble."
I have to say that Kotaro has matured a lot now.
His face no longer has the immaturity and recklessness that he had when he first arrived in Tokyo. On the contrary, although his personality still seems a bit unrestrained, the aura of someone who has been in a management position for a long time has slowly developed.
"Daimaru, after you graduate from Akita University next year, you will first intern at Shirakawa Electric for a while. We will discuss the specific direction of your job later."
"Ha!" Damaru, who has grown into a big guy, has also matured a lot.
"Hey, Xiaofeng, how can you snatch someone from me? Daimaru is the person I reserved." Kotaro shouted to express his dissatisfaction.
"Go go go~" Baichuan Feng was too lazy to argue with him.
As the only college student in Xiaolu Village in the past two years, Baichuan Feng has his own plan for his training.
After a lively greeting, Shirakawa Feng introduced them to Tanaka Yuko's family.
"Little Qingkong, you have to call me uncle~" The burly Kotaro couldn't help but tease the little Qingkong who was just learning to walk.
However, the dark-skinned Kotaro is really unlikable, and Xiao Qingkong is much more interested in the terminal building not far away than he is.
As a result, after teasing him for a long time, not to mention Oujisang, Xiao Qingkong didn't even look at him.
"What a stubborn little guy~" Kotaro, who got nothing, couldn't help but complain.
"Okay, let's go." Baichuan Feng picked up his son and walked towards the waiting hall.
"Xiao Feng, do you want to go directly to the station? Everything is ready downstairs." Kotaro followed him closely.
"Let's take a look at Taikan Airport first. It has changed a lot compared to before."
"Okay, I'll go inform Sasaki-san then."
"Hey, Sasaki-san is here too?"
"Of course, there's more." As soon as he finished speaking, Kotaro started calling the people around him to make relevant notifications.
The entire terminal building of Odate Airport has three floors above the ground.
There are no international routes yet, and the flights operated are basically domestic flights.
Because all the facilities are newly built, Odate Airport looks very modern.
The terminal, runway, apron, etc. are clean and tidy, and ground staff are busy around.
When Shirakawa Kaede and his friends entered the terminal hall, they saw a gigantic statue of an Akita dog.
The lifelike appearance made the naive little Qingkong scream non-stop.
Standing in the center of the hall, you can see all the scenes on the three floors. The bottom floor, where Shirakawa Feng is now, is basically occupied by various shops.
Most of the things sold here are Akita specialties, and of course there are also supporting facilities such as cafes and restaurants.
Their decoration style is also mainly based on the original wood color of Akita cedar.
It can be said that the design style of the entire airport lobby reflects the local characteristics of Akita everywhere.
The bustling crowd not far away also proves that the passenger flow here is indeed considerable.
"Mr. Shirakawa, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even more charming now."
At this time, Kikuji Sasaki also came with a large group of people from a passage not far away.
"Sasaki-san, I'm so sorry to bother you to come all the way here."
"You are so polite. Everyone in Akita Prefecture is looking forward to Mr. Shirakawa's return home."
As he spoke, Kikuji Sasaki raised his hand and gestured behind him. Most of the leading figures in the political and business circles of Akita Prefecture were here.
The traditional local powerful families, such as the Satake clan, the Rokugo clan, the Iwaki clan, and the Ikoma clan, were also very respectful and had the current head of the family personally come to greet them.
They have to come. The Shirakawa family is now involved in almost every aspect of Akita, and the number of industries involved is astonishing.
After some pleasantries, Kikuji Sasaki led Shirakawa Kaede to an area in the hall that had been designated in advance to accept interviews from the media.
Yes, Shirakawa Kaede's return this time even alarmed the media in Akita Prefecture.
Although nominally it is to celebrate the child's first birthday, it also has a special meaning in the eyes of the Japanese.
Especially for a family like Shirakawa Kaede that has great local influence, this also means the appearance of a successor to some extent.
As the future second-generation head of the Shirakawa family, the media will of course pay special attention to him.
There was no other way, and Shirakawa Kaede couldn't refuse the kindness, so he brought Tanaka Yuko with him. One of them held little Qingkong, and the other held little Meisheng, and they solemnly introduced the two children to the media for the first time.
Revealing the existence of two children to the media here in Akita is, in a sense, an announcement.
The eldest son and daughter of the Shirakawa family are already one year old. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the face of the Shirakawa family in the future.
While spreading the word, we also ask for your continued support from all walks of life in Akita.
After a brief interview, Shirakawa Kaede and his group took a brief tour of Odate Airport under the guidance of Kikuharu Sasaki.
In addition to what Shirakawa Feng had just seen, there was also a park and a ski resort in front of the airport.
There are also many other public facilities, including two or three small squares and some mobile shops like convenience stores.
According to initial estimates, Odate Airport would receive approximately 400,000 passengers per year.
But it's not even the end of the year yet, and this goal has already been achieved ahead of schedule.
According to Kikuji Sasaki, this number of tourists is already received in one summer.
As for the reason, it is also related to the following itinerary.
After strolling around the airport on the ground, Shirakawa Feng and his group went to the underground subway station.
Compared to the opening of Odate Airport this year, the subway station from Odate to Kazuo was opened and operated last year.
The train that Shirakawa Kaede and the others are about to take is the special train from Odate to Kazuo.
For safety reasons, and also so that Shirakawa Kaede can have a more intuitive experience.
Keio and Tokyu directly arranged a special train for him. Besides, Shirakawa Kaede was one of the investors and he had shares in this railway.
Like the airport, the railway line was newly built and everything is very new.
Looking at the clean and bright carriage and the scenery passing by outside.
Baichuan Feng couldn't help but feel emotional. This made him feel like he was taking the subway in his previous life.
The only difference is that the subways in Neon are mostly located on the ground, with a wide view.
China's subways are mostly underground and run a little faster.
It takes less than 15 minutes to travel 30 kilometers from Daguan to Lujiao.
After all, it was a special train, traveling at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. What seemed like a long journey over mountains and hills before now passed in a flash.
Indeed, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is a true saying.
After experiencing this journey, Shirakawa Kaede's most intuitive feeling now is that it is too fast.
It’s so fast to get from Tokyo to Kazuno . If it weren’t for the delay just now, an hour and a half would be more than enough.
Think about the first time Kotaro and I went to Tokyo. They had to change trains and stations, and it took them two days to arrive in Tokyo.
Now? One and a half hours!
Who is the source of all these changes? Shirakawa Kaede's pride and pride are beyond words.
Little deer, little deer, now you can be proud of me!
