National Tide 1980

This is just the gains of the virtual economy and the speculative market.

Similarly, Ning Weimin also gained a lot from physical operations.

You know, in this era, the stock market and real estate market have created a prosperous scene for Japan in addition to false prosperity, and various information magazines and TV programs that teach people to consume are also emerging one after another.

What gifts should I give during the holidays?

Which restaurant are you going to on a date?

Which high-end hotel should I book for a romantic date with my girlfriend?

What investment prospects are promising?

Which stock will rise sharply if you buy it?

What kind of bag should a girl have to look stylish?

What kind of appearance does a boy need to have an identity?

What kind of apartment does a romantic person live in?

How to match clothes?

Anyone who has never driven an imported luxury car is a country bumpkin. It would be a pity if he did not travel anywhere...

Every piece of information shines with allure.

So these consumerist remarks have become pickpockets that empty the wallets of ordinary people.

As long as people care about this information, their minds will become impetuous.

If others have it but you don’t, that would be such a pity and unwillingness.

Coupled with the general increase in wages and the appreciation of the yen, compared to the past, Japanese people also have more money and time for personal consumption from an objective environment.

Especially on Friday night with the popularity of weekends, most Japanese in the city will eat, party, spend, and shop outside.

Because Friday is called "金曜日" in Japanese, this day is also called "花の金曜日", or "花金" for short.

This has greatly promoted the extraordinary prosperity of Japan's catering industry, entertainment industry and department store retail industry.

To put it bluntly, in Japan at this time, people's wages were high but prices were relatively cheap.

The income of Japanese people is increasing, but the cost of living is correspondingly decreasing.

Even the lowest part-time hourly wage of 1,000 yen per hour can still buy four packs of imported cigarettes at a convenience store.

Or use this thousand yen to eat a regular buffet for one and a half hours, and the beef hot pot is also the same price.

People in big cities, even if they don't cook at home, can't spend much money eating out at fast food and buffets.

As long as you don't buy a house, you will still have a lot of balance at the end of the month.

Even if you need to rent, you will feel that your money is much looser than in the past.

This extra money not only makes the Japanese intoxicated with the joy of consumption, but also makes almost all Japanese believe that the future will only be better.

At the same time, credit card companies and financial companies that provide unsecured loans have provided more convenient assistance for Japanese people to spend money.

They are all vigorously brainwashing ordinary people, claiming, "It doesn't matter if you have no money today, it doesn't matter if you spend all your salary. Anyway, you will earn it back tomorrow. So please relax and enjoy yourself. We can help you use tomorrow's money first." Come and spend.”

In this way, hearing this voice every day, the Japanese have further lost their financial vigilance.

Regardless of whether they have money or not, or how much money they earn, people dare to indulge their desires lavishly.

No one can predict the huge risks that this trap of excessive consumption will bring to their lives.

No one would have thought that one day they would be driven to the point of committing suicide, committing a crime, or being sold.

Therefore, among the young people in Japan today, there are many who drive luxury sports cars and are saddled with millions in debt.

There are many "card slaves" who carry more than a dozen credit cards and use new debt to pay off old debts.

For the high-end catering industry in Japanese society, the prices of food and ingredients at this time have reached an absurdly high and exaggerated level.

The Matsusaka Special Beef that costs 100,000 yen per kilogram and the gold-leaf Eho sushi rolls that cost 15,000 yen each are too common.

For example, the roast duck at Tan Gong Restaurant costs 9,800 yen per set, or the shark fins and bird's nests at 9,900 yen per customer. These are not unusual, and customers happily accept them.

No! It's not just acceptance. In the last month of last year, because the company held too many New Year's parties, these expensive ingredients were in short supply.

Take roast duck as an example. After operating for so long, Ning Weimin has increased the number of Kyoto ducks from 30 to 80 per day.

Originally it was almost enough, but in December it was actually not sold at night.

Ning Weimin had to temporarily negotiate with the supplier to increase the quantity, and finally reached a new contract to provide 150 pieces per day at a price of 5,000 yen per piece.

But even so, individual customers have to rely on luck if they want to eat, because usually a New Year's Eve party has a scale of two to three hundred people, and at least a hundred roast ducks can be ordered, or even more.

It just so happens that this special kind of duck cannot be transformed at once.

Even if Ning Weimin wanted to spend more money to buy more, the supplier would not be able to come up with more ducks.

Without a year to breed, the current supply is at its limit.

So in the last month of last year, the Tokyo branch of Tan Gong Restaurant founded by Ning Weimin was making a lot of money.

The monthly turnover is actually as high as more than 300 million yen, with an average of over 10 million yen per day.

The gross profit should be at least half, which is one million US dollars.

Just this one month has almost caught up with those in China who have been busy for a whole year.

One can imagine how successful the three investors in China will be once they know the news!

I guarantee that no one in Zhun'er will think that he was reckless in insisting on coming to Tokyo in the first place, or that he was actually traveling abroad with public funds in the name of foreign trade.

And the key is that even after the New Year, the consumption momentum of Tan Gong Restaurant has not dropped much.

The large-scale New Year's Eve party is gone, but because we got to know the cooking level of Tan Gong Restaurant, there are a lot more repeat customers.

Even Ning Weimin heard some guests talking in private, "Oh, it turns out that the Chinese emperor's banquet is so cheap! It tastes good but a bit greasy. Especially at this price... Compared to kaiseki cuisine, it's still... Is there a big difference? Two people only spend 100,000 yen, which is enough to eat quite well. It seems that the food quality of us Japanese aristocrats is much higher!"

"Yes, the price of Chinese food is just that. It can never be compared with restaurants with three Michelin stars. Do you know? The French restaurant Ebisu in Mita, Meguro District, Tokyo, has a minimum consumption of 50,000 yen per person. Now it costs 50,000 yen per person per night. There are millions of people here. It’s a real benefit here. Haha!”

For this reason, Ning Weimin didn't know whether to laugh or scold.

My heart has said it, it seems I am still too merciful!

So in order to win glory for the country and get rid of the humiliation of "affordable", he has not only decided to remake the menu, but also to increase prices.

Moreover, I am increasingly looking forward to the harvest of rouge rice and palace yellow, and I have the idea of ​​​​further pursuing the victory.

I silently began to think about whether I should open another branch in places like Osaka and Kyoto.

This is not only the case with Tan Gong Restaurant, which is run and managed by Ning Weimin. The "Chixia" Club, run and managed by Maria for him and Axia, is also booming and has completely broken through the profit bottleneck.

Since there is endless money to spend in all walks of life, Ning Weimin knows more and more famous people.

Under the careful maintenance of her mother, Samaria, who is good at handling men, this club has quickly become popular in Ginza.

Now, even the famous novelist Matsumoto Seicho and the president of Hanwa Kogyo, Kitashige, and the president of Yamaichi Securities, Nozawa Shohei, have become regular visitors to the Akaxia Club.

It is no longer a problem for the club to have a monthly profit of 20 million yen.

We are heading towards a monthly profit prospect of 30 million yen.

As for Ning Weimin's private property, which belongs entirely to him, he has made a lot of money.

Take the most inconspicuous Huiwentang Bookstore as an example. Because of its great location, even though its business hours are not long every day, there is no shortage of customers.

In particular, it also sells Chinese dim sum that cannot be eaten elsewhere, and the books and furnishings are also very Chinese-style, which is considered unique.

Most of the guests who have been here once will have a profound impact on the place, so that more and more repeat guests come to enjoy the tranquility in the bustle.

Even Mizoguchi Yuzo, a famous sinologist at the University of Tokyo, has become a regular customer of the bookstore.

The Japanese scholar Sohei Ito, who was hired by Ning Weimin to translate the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the 120-chapter novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", would also come to the bookstore from time to time.

It is both a search for inspiration and information.

You know, when Ning Weimin visited flea markets in Japan and collected antiques, he would buy Chinese books whenever he saw them.

In addition, he returned to China several times and brought many Chinese books with him.

In particular, many of the comic books I brought back this time are very popular among regular bookstore customers.

Therefore, as a bookstore, it already has the image of being the first Chinese bookstore in Tokyo.

Although Chinese books cannot be sold openly, customers can browse or even borrow them on the spot.

And because famous scholars often visit, Beijing's scented tea, green tea and relatively high-end hand-ground coffee have gradually become new items in the store.

It can be said that even as a cafe, Huiwentang Bookstore is considered a success.

Both profits and turnover continue to grow steadily day after day.

At least among sinologists in Tokyo, he has become somewhat famous.

If it weren't for the fact that labor is too expensive and qualified long-term workers are hard to hire, Rinko Kagawa and Shinyu Taniguchi can only take care of it in their spare time.

The business situation of Huiwentang Bookstore will undoubtedly be better, and doubling the turnover and turnover will not be a problem.

What's more, even so, the Chinese handicrafts that Ning Weimin sold on consignment in the store were still not included.

The most gratifying phenomenon of this New Year is that there is no promotion at all, and the Chinese handicrafts in the store are almost sold out.

Even the grapes that were used as samples on the shelves were bought with huge sums of money.

Many of the customers who come and go in the store think that these unique items are perfect as Christmas gifts or New Year gifts for family and friends.

And because things are rare and expensive, no one questions the price.

On the contrary, many gift boxes of the Chinese pastries in the store were ordered years ago.

This undoubtedly brought Ning Weimin a considerable windfall, which was enough to offset the cost of buying out the overseas rights to the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". It was good news that made him overjoyed.

But having said that, whether it is a restaurant, a club, or a bookstore, it pales in comparison to Ning Weimin's Da Dao Trading Company.

With the arrival of this period, which is called the golden age but is actually a bubble era, more and more Japanese people have money in their pockets, and the tourism and aviation industries are also developing vigorously at this stage.

Last year’s Christmas and the ensuing New Year became a flash point for Japanese people to travel abroad and go shopping in Europe and the United States.

Even if you are limited by time and financial conditions, you cannot travel abroad.

Then it’s no problem to come to Okinawa for two days and one night to relax.

Or it’s not impossible to fly to Hokkaido to ski and play golf.

As long as you are willing to pay for air tickets, you can travel on weekends.

In the past, perhaps the Japanese still had the idea of ​​"it's good, but how is it possible?"

But now I just shout "That's it!"

From this point of view, it is also a reflection of the times.

So there is no doubt that the strong demand for travel and the strong demand for shopping represent the strong need for suitcases.

To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin's "invention" itself is a flying eagle, and it has caught up with the biggest trend.

As you can imagine, the profits will follow.

If nothing else, just say that this New Year, Yamato sightseeing is going to be extremely busy.

This can be seen only from the fact that Ning Weimin's inventory has been almost emptied.

Hundreds of thousands of boxes are all gone, and 3.5 billion yen in funds are about to be credited. These are real bills.

A company composed of only a dozen disabled people and housewives could run such a hugely profitable project. Even Ning Weimin himself would admire the cost-effectiveness and be proud of it.

And apart from the taxes that should be paid, the Japanese really didn't get much benefit from it. This is the most important thing.

Not to mention there’s even better news coming.

In a few months, the patent for the trolley suitcase will be officially approved in Japan.

In other words, by then, Ning Weimin can try to make money by collecting taxes from foreign countries with the patent of the trolley suitcase.

Ning Weimin has already made plans to contact several well-known luggage companies in Japan.

The greatest benefit brought by the rapid withdrawal of funds will certainly allow Ning Weimin to make more profits from the stock market and property market in Japan.

In Europe and Hong Kong, I heard that the effect of trolley suitcases participating in exhibitions is also very good, and many luggage manufacturers and sales platform merchants are very interested.

As long as Japan's patents are released and European and American patents are implemented, then it will be an alliance of several of their companies to "collect taxes" from luggage companies around the world.

What are the future prospects?

Just look at the Tetra Pak packaging.

This Swedish packaging company relies on its milk and juice packaging patent and takes advantage of its market dominance to dominate the Chinese dairy industry for a long time.

It was not until foreign countries successfully broke the monopoly of Tetra Pak packaging through the development of independent manufacturing technology that the entire dairy industry was liberated from the dire situation of working for foreigners in vain.

Of course, Ning Weimin couldn't do something as simple as Tetra Pak packaging.

His food appearance is much more elegant, after all, he has a profound background.

For him, this patent is just the icing on the cake, and it is still not his core advantage. (End of chapter)
