National Tide 1980

Ning Weimin and Qingzi are both awake and happy.

In this dazzling Japanese society, in this bubble era full of desires.

The most fortunate thing about them is that they did not become slaves captured by money and desire.

They understand each other's meaning of love, the essence of life, and their own weight, and will seriously consider how to protect these most precious things.

This is really not easy.

In fact, most people, in this world full of indulgence and indulgence, are immersed in the confusion of desire and unable to extricate themselves, becoming fools who lack self-control and self-awareness.

Even people like Ning Weimin and others who clearly understand these principles often have no choice but to follow the trend and become wretches crushed by the times because they lack the ability and strength to do the right thing.

If you don’t believe it, just look at another newlywed couple.

Yujiro Sakai and Miyoko Sakai, this couple should have been as happy as they are, but when Rinko Kagawa was out, they had a tit-for-tat confrontation in the house they had just bought not long ago because of financial issues.

The young couple had a dispute over their recent situation of not being able to make ends meet. They were at odds for the first time and even laid hidden dangers for their relationship.

"Husband, we really don't have much money at home. Take a good look at the accounts I kept. We were having a wedding in the revolving restaurant of the New Otani Hotel. The cost of the wedding banquet was at least 30,000 yen per person. In the end, I asked my former The customer helped and got cheap honeydew melons as gifts, but each of us still spent 34,200 yen. The total number of guests on both sides was more than 90, plus other miscellaneous expenses. Three and a half million yen. And the wedding company’s bills for various items, including makeup, wedding dress, emcee, photography, flowers, vehicles, drivers, add up to 200,000, 300,000, etc. All together, it’s 1.8 million yen. So the wedding ceremony totaled 5.3 million yen, and the gift money we got back was less than 3 million yen, which was a loss of 200. Three hundred thousand yen. We also had a honeymoon trip. Thanks to President Ning, Yamato Tourism gave us the lowest discount. Our six-day and four-night honeymoon package in Hawaii only cost 500,000 yen. But the problem was that we were in Hawaii. The expenses were quite high. I spent an additional 400,000 yen on meals and shopping. Especially for you, you never refuse anything recommended by others and you tip generously. You really consider yourself a rich person. We also provided an additional 500,000 yen for hosting my mother-in-law and others to attend our wedding, including food, accommodation, bus tickets, sightseeing in Tokyo, and buying gifts. If we include the furniture and appliances we bought for the wedding, then... "

Facing her husband Yujiro Sakai who was asking for money, Miyoko, who was already a married woman, reported the accounts carefully and explained her embarrassment aggrievedly.

However, Yujiro Sakai, whose masculinity is deeply rooted in his bones, no longer has the patience.

"Okay, don't talk so much. These account details give me a headache. Wife, I know that you are a good and thrifty wife. You are trying your best to save every expense and be a good financial minister at home. But getting married is a big deal in life, so it’s not a sin for us to be extravagant, right? Why should we be so stingy about traveling abroad? What’s more, I really don’t have time to talk to you about this tonight. I just want to ask you, do you have 200,000 yen for me?”

Miyoko obviously did not accept her husband's arrogant remarks, and stared at Yujiro Sakai's face with a pair of big eyes reproachfully.

"Why does socializing require so much money? And shouldn't the company pay for socializing? Why should we take money from home?

"Oh, you are so naive. Not all social expenses can be reimbursed. Just like playing mahjong..."

When Yujiro Sakai said such words, the dissatisfaction in Miyoko's eyes became even more obvious.

You know, the reason why Miyoko was willing to marry Yujiro Sakai was because he valued his hard work and his willingness to avoid drinking, sex and gambling.

But now her husband actually plays mahjong, which she didn't expect, and of course she wasn't happy.

In order not to further expand the conflict between husband and wife, Yujiro Sakai, who noticed the change in his wife's attitude, couldn't help but pause.

Immediately, he started the mode of reporting good news but not bad news, and tried to persuade from another angle.

This is his consistent attitude when a senior salesperson encounters a problem.

Observing words and emotions is the basic skill of sales.

"Don't be angry yet. To be honest, two guys, Hideo Ninomiya and Yasuo Nagase, made an appointment with me today. They said they wanted to introduce me to their senior. The other person worked at Mizuho Securities. I heard that he had just bought a new house, and he wanted to introduce me to them. I bought a sports car and wanted to buy some health insurance. This was a completely unexpected and great thing for me, and they also said that I didn’t have to worry about the cost of drinking and dining, and they would use the company’s social expenses to pay for it. But the problem is that they all like to play mahjong. It is said that they have developed the habit when they were in college in Qingying. Do you think I can refuse? , of course I have to accompany you..."

Miyoko thought for a long time and finally changed her silent attitude.

"How much does your insurance contract cost? How much commission can you get?"

But the problem is, Zuo Hai Yujiro's response made the matter stir up trouble again.

"I estimate that the other party will spend about 1.6 million yen. Now that I am the director of the organization, I should be able to get a commission of 100,000 yen..."

"What, a commission of 100,000 yen? You have to exchange it for 200,000 yen? Husband, if you do this, won't it be a losing business?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? This 200,000 yen is just for backup, I will definitely not be stupid enough to lose it all. Besides, you don't know. When I first came to Tokyo to make bread, how did I get the sales champion of the branch? Let me tell you, it was because I secretly increased the filling of the bean-filled bread that I was responsible for delivering several times, and the same is true for jam bread, which was baked separately. Then I took these special breads out to sell, not only every We can sell out every time, even the bakery that was originally a competitor, also came to our factory to join. So, the secret of sales is to give customers sweetness. Otherwise, how can we maintain stable performance? Like us selling insurance? The key to being a customer is to maintain a long-term relationship, not to rush. I know you did a good job when selling houses, but I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear that, that's because your industry has suddenly become prosperous. This is just luck, not strength. "

It can be said that Zuo Haiyoujiro is indeed a senior salesman, whether it is shrewdness or eloquence, he has a few brushes.

He used his past stories to successfully convince Miyoko.

"Okay, okay, I get it. But husband, I still hope you don't have much contact with these two people in the future. I really don't like their style of doing things. They look frivolous, and they love to eat, drink, gamble, and have sex. They are just two playboys. No wonder Rinko doesn't like the guy you introduced. If you always stay with them, I'm really afraid that you will..." "Hey, you are really worrying about nothing. In fact, I am also helpless. Who made Hideo the son of Minister Ninomiya? Rinko refused this marriage, which made it difficult for me to deal with the minister. If I am cold to his son again, I will not have a good result. The minister obviously took care of me so much, and he can't become my enemy in the future, right? Then my future will be really over. And you have to know that I, the so-called director of the organization, am just the most basic cadre of the insurance company. In addition to being mainly responsible for recruiting and training outside, I have no other responsibility. Qualified insurance salespersons, help them cultivate a fixed customer base, and at the same time, they also have to do insurance sales business. Our insurance company, the sales performance of each month will be summarized at the end of the month. If my performance is surpassed by my subordinates, it is a shame. From this perspective, I can't always push away the customers that others kindly introduced to me? You have also been a salesperson, you should be able to understand my pressure, right? In short, you have to take a long-term view. Ninomiya Hideo and Nagase Yasuo are the elites of Keio. If you maintain a good relationship with them, they will continue to introduce customers to me in the future, and they will also speak for me in the company. It will be very beneficial for my future development... "

Sakai Yujiro continued to lecture endlessly, complaining, selling misery, or empathizing, which made Miyoko lose her temper, so she had to turn around to get money for him.

"Okay, okay, you complain just as much as I do. You won't listen to anything I say. I can't do anything with you. Here, I'll give you the money, 200,000 yen, right?"

Mioko put the money in front of her husband, but when he reached out, she suddenly held his hand and looked into his eyes very seriously.

"But I also remind you that if you take the 200,000 yen, the family savings will be less than 500,000 yen. In addition to paying the monthly mortgage, we also need to support our lives and various unavoidable social events. You haven't forgotten that we are going to attend President Ning's wedding tomorrow. Then we must give a gift of 50,000 yen. So I beg you, this kind of thing must not happen again, otherwise we really can't live. Don't think that we have any spare money financially. In fact, there is not much left of the joint savings we have worked hard to save in the past few years. In addition, I hope you can consider allowing me to continue to work, which will definitely help the current situation..."

Mioko is definitely thinking about this family, and her suggestions are also very practical.

However, the blindly confident Zuo Haiyoujiro did not want his wife to show up in public again.

"Oh, I'm really scared of you. Why are you still thinking about going to work? You're married now, and your main responsibility in the future is to take care of this family. Yes, although the wedding, honeymoon, furniture for the new home, and various daily social activities have used up all our savings, at least now we have our own house, and I still have enough food and clothing with my income. It's still much better than before. You know how salespeople earn? Why are you so worried? I said, it will be time to pay the half-year bonus soon, and then our lives will be better. I estimate that I can get at least 600,000 or 700,000. If it's done, by the end of the year, I can get 800,000 or 900,000. This doesn't include commissions. My commissions are even higher. Think about it, what's the current deficit at home? I can make up for it with my bonuses and commissions at once. Will you still worry about getting a few million yen..." "Really, will it be so much?" Although Miyoko felt a little disappointed because she couldn't work, she couldn't help but look forward to Sakai Yujiro's guarantee. After all, Zuo Haiyoujiro is now a formal employee of the insurance company, and his treatment is no longer the same.

"Of course, you think I get up early every day and work around the clock. So, Miyoko, can you stop being so complaining? I know this matter has caused you some trouble. But you also have to think about me. Do it for whom? There are some temporary difficulties now, but it doesn’t matter if we suffer a little now. This is all for the sake of becoming a branch leader in the future. As long as I perform well, I can become a branch leader. As long as I become the branch manager, there will be no financial problems in our lives. The branch manager is amazing. He is at the same level as the branch president of the bank. The basic salary is 50 yuan. Ten thousand yen. Remember, I am your blue-chip stock, and I am your NTT. Don’t you want to sell me..."

Yujiro Sakai kept making promises to his wife Miyoko.

However, Miyoko, who knew very well that he liked to exaggerate, did not dare to believe the pie he painted, and instead poured cold water on it.

"Stop talking nonsense. You are a blue chip stock! Stop bragging. You are clearly thinking that you are President Ning."

"Haha, can't I pursue something a little bit? President Ning himself is self-made. Why can't I if he can do it? I really can't say for sure. Who said that the branch head is the end of my career? As long as I It is not an unattainable dream to be able to achieve this in a few years and then be promoted to sales director or branch deputy general manager. You see how majestic the second house minister is. I want you to live the life of a noble lady in the future. Let everyone call you Mrs. Minister when they meet you, so you won’t treat me like this today..."

Zuo Hai Yujiro became more and more proud as he talked, and he couldn't help bragging.

But Miyoko really has no intention of coddling him.

There are still a lot of things to be busy with at home, and I know that he will definitely be drunk again when he comes back at night.

So while he was still awake and I was still free, I quickly gave him a few important words.

"Okay, okay, don't dream about your success. Let's be honest. Don't drink too much tonight, and don't come back too late. Don't forget that tomorrow we will go to the Okura Hotel to attend the Ning Society. wedding..."

"Oh, I was talking happily, but you are really disappointing. Okay, okay, I will try my best."

"Also, when you go to Okura Hotel tomorrow, you have to take the occasion into consideration. Don't ask for insurance business when you meet a stranger. This will make President Ning and Miss Keiko lose face. The same goes for Mr. Taniguchi and Mrs. Taniguchi. We all have opinions. But don’t let our relatives and friends get bored and think that we are going to sell insurance when we meet people..."

"Why do you suddenly say such things? I know, it's really verbose."

Needless to say, although Miyoko's words made sense, they were not listened to and caused considerable embarrassment to Sakai Yujiro.

So much so that he had no intention of staying at home after collecting the money, and left the house as quickly as possible as if running away.

When he came outside, after lighting a cigarette, Yujiro Zuokai couldn't help but kicked the telephone pole on the roadside hard.

Yes, Miyoko is willing to share joys and sorrows and is a good wife.

The problem is, no matter how successful you are, she won't admire you.

Yujiro Zuohai suddenly realized sadly that even if one day he could really be admired by everyone and achieve the same career achievements as Ning Weimin.

But in the eyes of his wife, he will still be a poor man who sells insurance everywhere, and his income is far less than hers.

Others treat you with respect and will not openly express their objections to you.

And his wife Miyoko will always call him by his first name and show him off whenever she wants.

As a man's desire, he cannot realize it in his wife.

For example, he would not take his wife to a five-star hotel, or have the enthusiasm to take her to a secret place to have sex.

No matter how much money he has, if he goes to a high-end restaurant to eat, his wife will only be in two states.

One is to accuse the food of being bad and expensive.

The other is to accept it calmly.

Miyoko will never say thank you to him as shyly as she did before she got married, and look at him with surprise and say, you know why.

He is now married to a wife and has a family, but he has lost his interest and pride.

This damn marriage!

Why! Why can't he be as lucky as Ning Weimin. What do you want?

That guy is obviously just a Chinese, but he has the most charming woman, who is better than him in every way!

How abominable!
