National Tide 1980

Maria, the foreign aid who was favored by Ning Weimin, was really not an ordinary escort girl.

Despite her good looks and figure, she still stands out even in Ginza, a place full of beauties.

Obviously you can entertain people with sex, and you can easily live a prosperous life by having affairs with your customers.

But she has always understood in her heart that in this world, men's "love" and "pity" are unreliable.

You can only create your own life by yourself.

What's more, the most indispensable thing in Ginza's clubs is beautiful women. No matter how beautiful a woman is, her beauty will fade with age.

Without superb emotional intelligence and excellent speaking skills, it is difficult to truly win the favor of customers.

If there are no loyal customers who come for a long time, a relaxed life will only be temporary, and if you want to have a truly happy life, it will be like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

Not to mention that the customers who patronize this place are either rich or noble, and most of them are elites. The purpose of coming to Ginza is not to buy sex, indulge in sex, or find a lover.

In addition to necessary entertainment and communication, it is also to find the fun that is lacking in life, or to relieve the pressure of life and work. What they want is to find someone to talk to and a secret collector in the bustling city.

For example, the great writer Yasunari Kawabata, the cartoonist Osamu Tezuka, and the novelists Jun Watanabe and Seicho Matsumoto were all frequent visitors to Ginza, and many famous works were produced as a result.

Therefore, Maria's personal understanding of the nature of the industry has always been clearer than that of other girls, and the goals she has set for herself are much higher than those of others.

At the beginning, in order to actively win the favor of customers, she became the top female publicist.

In addition to using her spare time to enrich herself by following current news and government affairs, she also studied psychology, figured out human nature, and even learned foreign languages ​​in order to better serve customers and establish more conversational topics with them.

However, after becoming the top star, her mind did not stop there, and she began to think about how to become a nightclub operator.

Not only did she observe the guests' behavior, the service attitude of the hostesses in greeting the guests, their personalities, and the coordination of the environment, etc. as a reference for future "business", she also secretly recorded the personal information and preferences of many important guests.

He also takes the initiative to teach newcomers to Ginza some of the communication skills he has learned.

On the surface, it is to help those inexperienced girls adapt to work as soon as possible, but at the same time, it is also to accumulate popularity and train female public relations experience for future store openings.

Needless to say, with a work attitude like hers, she will naturally be favored by everyone in the nightclub.

Because she is very capable at work and takes on many things that she does not have to worry about, Maria is quite trusted and valued by Candlestick Mama.

She also made many friends because of her kindness and help to others.

Regardless of whether she is a true acquaintance or not, none of the female public relations colleagues regard her as their enemy, and they are willing to keep in touch with her in private to maintain a certain degree of contact.

When it comes to her private time to rest, Maria is never short of people to accompany her. Everyone invites her to go shopping, drink coffee, or have dinner.

Newcomers are all eager to receive guidance from this kind and generous senior.

Experienced female publicists are also willing to ask her for tips and talk about troubles at work.

Some people even told her privately, "If you open a store, please hire me" when they learned about her desire to open a store.

Most of Maria's clients are like this.

In addition to liking Maria's beauty and charm, they were also surprised that Maria was not only beautiful in appearance, but also had so much in common with them.

Over time, many customers also benefited from Maria's help in connecting them with other customers, which promoted their work and career to further progress.

As a result, I began to trust Maria more and more in her steadfastness and ability, and became dependent on her, becoming her "die-hard fan".

Unknowingly, Maria became the most senior female publicist in the Candlestick Club and the well-deserved "No. 1 Sister of the Candlestick".

This is also the reason why she can attract so many customers for Tan Gong Restaurant, and also brings many female public relations to join in this "part-time job" to make extra money.

This is all due to the connections and popularity she has accumulated over the years after working in the industry.

Of course, Ning Weimin made the decision and gave generous rewards on behalf of Tan Palace, which further consolidated Maria's status in the Candlestick Club and her reputation in Ginza, making her quite reputable and prestigious among the escort girls. The "eldest sister".

After all, Ginza is a world full of glamour, where voluptuous men and women are easy to find, and selfish things are common.

But it is really hard to find people who are willing to share practical benefits with others and who can do this.

In short, with the accumulation of these comprehensive elements, Maria is getting closer and closer to the goal she originally set for herself.

Her reputation as a barmaid publicist is so high that she has almost become a living business card of the "Candlestick Club".

Many people who work in Ginza at night have heard of her name.

It can be said that apart from the slight shortcomings in the accumulation of money, her conditions in experience, knowledge, connections and relationships with peers have matured, fully meeting the needs of starting a business and opening a store.

So it has to be said that under this circumstance, Ning Weimin's invitation to Maria as a partner was just right at the right time, and he indeed chose the right person.

But then again, it's useless to shave your head and pick a hot head.

No matter how optimistic Ning Weimin is about Maria, he has to be happy with her.

It was actually a little bit ominous because Maria wasn't really interested in it.

Why?

For no other reason than because Maria had no such urgent need.

To put it bluntly, Maria has been fighting for so many years to be her own boss. Even if Ning Weimin and Axia don't invite her, she can open her own nightclub or club in just two or three years at most. .

Then why should she run a nightclub for others and make wedding dresses for others?

Especially when she learned that Chixia's original mother, Sang, and the reason Axia had let go of Chixia and left was to run the parking lot with Ning Weimin wholeheartedly, she became even more uninterested.

Because she knew very well in her heart that Axia was only leaving temporarily and would come back sooner or later. After all, this store belonged to others, not hers.

For Maria, leaving the Candlestick Club, which had pampered her like a princess, was a bit of a loss. There was no need to abandon the comfortable life of stars and work as a high-end wage earner in a strange nightclub.

Anyway, due to various personal considerations, Maria had no intention of moving at all, and dealt with Ning Weimin politely on the surface.

But who is Ning Weimin?

That is the person who is best at observing words and emotions and adapting to situations quickly.

He deliberately pretended to be casual and asked about the real reason for Maria's hesitation, and he guessed it in a few words.

Seeing that your conditions are not enough for the other party to be interested in the olive branch offered by you.

Ben made a quick decision and added additional conditions, and used his best skills to start deceiving people.

First, he told Maria that the current economic boom in Japan was the best time for nightclubs and clubs in Ginza.

It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be missed.

Because once everyone discovers that the money in this industry is easy to make, more and more people will inevitably go to Ginza to invest and open stores.

So what follows is fierce competition within the industry.

For Maria, of course, the sooner she starts stepping into the role of Mama-san, the better.

In this way, you can not only seize the opportunity to further enrich and enhance your personal resume, but it is also equivalent to reducing the risk of your own investment in the future.

At the same time, it can also increase a lot of income.

Based on Chixia's current turnover, she can get at least 6 million yen in monthly dividends, which is equivalent to accelerating the speed at which she raises money to open a store.

Otherwise, after two years, things will change, not to mention the difficulty of opening a store will be greatly increased, and even the cost of opening a store will be hard to say.

Secondly, Ning Weimin also promised Maria that if Chixia's performance remained healthy on the original basis after Maria took over, there would be no significant decline in performance.

Then after a year, if Maria needs it, he is willing to pay and help Maria open another nightclub in Ginza that is no less big than Chika and is completely her own.

At that time, the money he provides will only be counted as a loan and does not require any equity.

In the end, it worked.

After Ning Weimin analyzed the pros and cons, Maria's thoughts changed unknowingly. She began to worry about the changes in the industry in two years, and she was really interested in switching to Chixia as a mother.

Then the next day, accompanied by Ning Weimin and Axia, she went to the scene to see the specific situation of Chixia Nightclub.

After discovering that Axia managed the club very well, that there were no major problems with the operation of the nightclub, and that the night business atmosphere was also very good, Maria felt that there was not much business risk in taking over the business, so she finally gave Ning Weimin and Ah Xia an idea. Kasumi replied with relief, she decided to join.

After the three people signed the contract and agreed on each other's rights and obligations, two days later, Maria ended her relationship with her old club Candlestick Club and arrived with two female publicists who were good friends with her. He took office now.

Since Axia had already greeted the staff in the store in advance, and Maria is a very popular character in Ginza, the handover between the two parties went smoothly.

And since the core of an escort's job is communication between people, the experience accumulated over many years of work is enough for Maria to cope with everything she may encounter.

Within a few days, Axia was completely freed from Chixia's management work.

Axia, who transformed into a strong business woman, can finally concentrate on the acquisition and daily management of the parking lot.

From then on, Chixia's mother Sang officially became Maria.

But that’s still not all that follows.

You must know that Maria is not a simple person. She is ambitious and will never be willing to do what Ning Weimin asks. She just wants to maintain Chixia's status quo.

And after all, she has been in the industry for many years, and her customer accumulation is unmatched by Axia in terms of quantity and quality.

So in the first few days after changing jobs, Maria not only adapted to the new environment, but also got to know the staff and operations of Chixia Nightclub.

She spent the rest of her time making phone calls and writing postcards, notifying each of her guests in turn that she had become a mamasang in the most sincere way, and saying that they were welcome to visit at any time.

For this reason, Chixia soon became extremely busy due to the large number of customers.

Especially because these guests are wealthy, they frequently ask for champagne to express their congratulations.

Chixia's turnover has even begun to set new records.

This, of course, greatly impressed Chixia's original staff, especially the escort girls, who all felt that "the number one in the Candlestick Club" was indeed well-deserved.

Moreover, Japan is a society that pays attention to human relations, justice and interests, and Ginza also has Ginza rules.

One of the rules is that Mama-san who wants to go it alone cannot open a store near his old club.

Because this will affect the customer flow and business of the old club, which is really unethical.

But on the other hand, when an apprentice appeared in his shop and became a mamasang on his own, the original mamasang also got the chance to support him and show his support.

Therefore, Harue Kuwazawaguchi, the mother of Candlestick, even though she lost the store's biggest cash cow, knew that not being able to visit would cause business losses.

But because Maria had followed the rules, not only were there no shortage of "pleases" for her to work at Chixia and "greetings" for opening a store before she left, Chixia's location was also far away from the candlestick.

Chunjiang still had to force a smile to congratulate her, and even had to bring a few well-established old customers to Chixia.

At eight o'clock in the evening on December 3, that's when the candlestick mother-sang came to the door for the first time.

On this day, Sawaguchi Harue, a tall man in a kimono, just opened the door gently, and several ladies in the store looked back at her, as well as several customers behind her.

Needless to say, her visit was quite conspicuous, as no ordinary woman would come to a place like this.

"Oh, Mama-san! You're here!"

Maria, who was also wearing a kimono, recognized her former boss who was pushing the door open and peeking in. She quickly moved over, opened the door and stood in front of them.

After hearing Harujiang's introduction that she had brought several painters who had just held an exhibition at the National Museum of Art, Maria quickly bowed with enthusiasm.

"Hey, some teachers are here too. Welcome, please come in!"

Maria then sat down in front of the painter and Chunjiang, and a female publicist who was recruited also sat beside her.

Next to their seats, you can see that there are seven or eight tables already occupied by many guests, ranging from two or three men to seven or eight. Each table has one or two ladies sitting at the table. There are only Two places.

There were even five male customers sitting in front of the counter talking and laughing with their backs turned to them, and the long-haired bartender chatted with them from time to time.

From the perspective of all of them, there were only so many people here at this time, and business was absolutely booming, surpassing most places in Ginza.

And not surprisingly, for several painters, the huge flowers contained in the large Kutani kiln for which Chixia Club is named are also quite impactful, making them feel relaxed and happy, and they can't help but admire them. (End of chapter)
