今年到任瑞穗銀行廣州分行行長的Tanabe Hisato，已經是第二次到廣州來工作了。他笑稱，跟2008年第一次到廣州相比，變化讓他感到震驚。“大灣區已經成為世界的一個非常重要的物流的網點之一，無論是在電子信息產業，還是在汽車行業等方面，大灣區的發展在世界都是出于一個前沿的地位。”他表示，對于各行各業的日本企業來說，大灣區也充滿了非常多的發展機會。

　　面對像珠江新城等巨大的變化，田邊久人還是會到熟悉的一德路和越秀公園附近走走，“這些地方保持了老廣州的風貌，讓我感到安心，覺得有點像回到了家鄉一樣。”

　　Tanabe Hisato表示，這次到廣州任職的過程是坎坷的。而由于疫情影響。一些日本企業甚至遭遇了工作上的停滯。“經過中日的各種合作，終于開通了日本飛到海外的第一個航班，就是飛到廣州來。我就是搭這趟航班來到廣州的。我們覺得廣東省政府包括各市級政府，對日本的企業的支持是很大的，對此我們也是非常感激的。”

　　來到廣州之后，面對疫情的影響，他們還請了風水大師重新布置了辦公室，希望能夠讓大家能在一個更加舒適的環境里工作。而談及新年愿望，他則希望疫情能夠今早過去，希望能實現中日之間的往返自如。
