1987年のフィリピン出張でお世話になった三井銀行マニラ駐在員事務所の運転手ベン・サントス氏の思い出話の最終話である。
次の日は帰国という日、車内でベン・サントス氏は僕にささやかなお願い事をした。
さて、彼は何が欲しいと言ったのでしょうか。
Dr. 水町、何だと思いますか。
On the day before returning to Japan, Mr. Ben Santos told me his small request in the company car.
He was like 'Fukagawa san, I ask a favor of you '
What was his request?
Dr.Mizumachi, can you guess?
How about Kazuki?
I will give you some hints.
①Japanese products are of high quality.
The reason why japanese products are popular across the giobe is mainly because they are of high quality at reasonable price.
②Especially, clothes made in Japan were very popular in the world because of their high quality.
Mr. Ben Santos was like 'Will you give me just one dress shirt you wore here?'
I was very suprised,but I consented
gladly.
I was like ' Sure! But just one dress shirt is enough for you ?'
He asked for just one dress shirt.
The Phillpines is very hot country, so Phillpinos like to wear short sleeve shirt.
Mr. Ben Santos would like to remake my long sleeve shirt to short sleeve shirt by retailoring.
I remembered that Mr. Ben Santos wore the clean and refined short sleeve shirt.
Dressing neatly is always important.
Next morning, I gave my shirt to Mr. Ben Santos.
He was happy and I was happy as well.
Thanks after good morning.
