Chapter 865: Like a fish in water

Since he has two assistants, Director Taniguchi and Rinko Kagawa, Ning Weimin can be said to be like a fish in water in Tokyo. There is no longer the constraint of unfamiliarity with the place where he is born, and many problems can be easily solved.

Not to mention anything else, just because Taniguchi has bought a house in Tokyo and has a private residence, and he is an aborigine who has a family and a job and has lived here for more than 20 years, it is very useful.

First of all, Ning Weimin can directly use Taniguchi's address and phone number to complete his personal login without having to trouble Supervisor Ishikawa.

So not long ago, in Kagawa Rinko's view, the resident registration problem that seemed to be urgent and was counting down all the time was immediately no longer a problem.

Once the resident registration procedures are completed, national health insurance, business follow-up procedures, and bank account opening can all be processed in sequence, and the process continues.

In addition, the matter of opening a bank account really depends on Director Taniguchi to solve it smoothly.

Because of the practical difficulties encountered in this step, even Ning Weimin could not predict it in advance and almost went blind.

I have a pity for Japan’s financial policy. It is not ordinary rigid, it is very rigid and extremely unreasonable.

Even if foreigners enter Japan for business activities, they need to stay in Japan for six months before they can open an account with a major bank such as Mitsui and Mitsubishi.

Therefore, if foreigners who have just arrived in Japan want to set up a business locally, it is difficult to even open a bank account. The only option is to open an account at Japan Post Bank.

But the problem arises again. International transfers cannot be made from Postal Bank accounts within six months.

It will be difficult for Ning Weimin to continue to receive domestic payments during this period.

Fortunately, Director Taniguchi was there. Ning Weimin came up with an idea and signed a shareholder agreement with him for one person's shareholding of 1%, and registered with the Legal Affairs Bureau.

Then he used his aboriginal identity to open a bank account for Ning Weimin to temporarily use as a company account, and then went to the Legal Affairs Bureau to delete his shareholder status.

Fortunately, after going through such a big circle, this matter was solved perfectly.

In addition, the usage of bank cards in Japan is so simple, which Ning Weimin also never expected.

He originally thought that the magnetic cards of Japanese banks were the same as those of domestic banks after the 1990s.

As long as you apply for a card, you can realize all basic functions.

But the reality is very basic. Even though Japan has entered the era of magnetic cards so early, debit cards, stored-value cards and passbooks are actually separated.

In other words, stored-value cards can only deposit, withdraw and transfer money but cannot spend it.

Debit card On the other hand, if you want to use a debit card to make purchases, you must store the money in a stored-value card or passbook.

And you must have a passbook, there is no need to apply for a magnetic card separately.

Thanks to Director Taniguchi’s reminder, Ning Weimin did not make such a low-level mistake.

Otherwise, if he really wanted to do this, at least he would have to run back and forth again.

If you add the waiting time, it will be very disgusting.

Finally, Director Taniguchi’s understanding of Tokyo’s legal and taxation industries also played an important role.

At least he knows which law firms and commercial tax accounting firms are reliable, experienced and charge reasonable fees.

Ning Weimin used his experience to choose a reputable firm to serve him, so that he would not fall into legal and tax difficulties, and it would also be beneficial for him to renew his visa after it expires in three years.

Otherwise, if there is no legal and tax support that can relieve him of his worries, he will never have peace of mind no matter how much money he makes in Japan in the future.

As for Kagawa Rinko, she is not a transparent person with no sense of existence.

She is thorough, careful and responsible. For Ning Weimin, the help she provides is comprehensive.

First of all, in terms of life, the B&B that Ning Weimin temporarily moved into was found by Kagawa Rinko.

A small single room of 10 square meters with a private bathroom that needs to be shared with others.

The location has not moved too far, it is in a residential neighborhood near Shinjuku, still in the city center.

Moreover, it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle and includes a breakfast every day.

There are many stations around, and it is less than 400 meters away from the subway Higashi-Shinjuku Station. It is very convenient to walk to Shinjuku's bustling business district and Kabukicho Street.

The key is that the price is affordable.

Although it is summer vacation and the Bon Festival has just passed, it is the peak tourism season in Japan and hotel prices are at their highest.

However, considering that Ning Weimin will have to stay for at least ten days and a half, and maybe even a whole month,

So Kagawa Rinko negotiated a relatively favorable price for him and the landlady, 5,200 yen per day.

Compared to the same area and the same conditions, the hotel accommodation fee is easily 7,000 to 8,000 yen per day, which is very cheap and extremely cost-effective.

Ning Weimin could hardly believe it.

At the same time, Rinko Kagawa used the unique patience and carefulness of women to teach Ning Weimin the correct way to live alone in Tokyo.

For example, how to eat sushi and how to deal with garbage. When are supermarket sales going on and how can I make the most of a meal on my own?

If you go out to eat at a restaurant, how do you differentiate between high and low prices?

You cannot dry clothes on the balcony, so you have to get used to using the dryer. When bathing, you must wash your body first before soaking in the pool water. If you buy a pager, you must turn on the vibration but not the ringtone...and so on.

Basically all the details of these trivial matters in life and the issues that need attention have been thought of for him.

Even how to deal with typhoons, how to deal with earthquakes, various hazard countermeasures and the location of shelters-these contents that the Japanese government should train for foreigners, she also gave Ning Weimin guidance on her behalf.

I even personally accompanied Ning Weimin to several flea markets. I used women's bargaining skills to help him bargain and bought bicycles, daily clothes, and some things that Ning Weimin liked.

To put it bluntly, he is just like a serious and responsible personal butler and tour guide, helping Ning Weimin avoid pitfalls and save money in life.

At the same time, Rinko Kagawa also acted as a confidential secretary and clerk in handling many procedures, helping Ning Weimin a lot.

Her importance is actually no less than that of Director Taniguchi.

You know, no matter where Ning Weimin goes to go through the formalities, there are many forms to fill in.

This is the most troublesome thing for foreigners.

Although Ning Weimin's spoken language is passable and he has no problem writing Chinese characters, he is not Japanese after all.

Filling in this form is as difficult as going through the Japanese Standard Test.

Thanks to Rinko Kagawa who helped him fill it out, he was able to ask him tirelessly about the key contents, check them carefully with him one by one, and communicate with the staff on his behalf.

Otherwise, relying solely on Ning Weimin’s Japanese proficiency, I really don’t know how to get through these layers of language barriers. Even if he made it through, he would definitely be exhausted and leave behind painful memories that he couldn't bear to look back on.

In short, Ning Weimin was really blessed to have these two people serving him wholeheartedly.

Compared with other foreigners who came to Japan, he was able to adapt to the lifestyle in a foreign country so quickly and mastered the know-how of living in Tokyo. These two assistants who assisted him were indispensable.

Especially in this era when computers are not yet popular for office work, he completed all the legal procedures for living and doing business in Japan in just eight or nine days, and he also has a local bank account for personal use and company transfer, which is really impressive. It is said to be a miracle accomplished at the speed of light.

Not to mention, as he became more familiar with Taniguchi and Kagawa, Ning Weimin also got a lot of important information about Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd. from them.

Not only did he know the general operating conditions of the Japanese branch, but he also knew that the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority in Japanese companies was extremely strict. He also knew the private complaints and misery of ordinary members. He also knew about Japan. The company's development and management history, and the factional struggles at the top.

He noticed that although President Hidehiro Hasegawa, who was enjoying the Bon Festival holiday in his hometown, and Vice President Tadao Takada, who was currently staying in Tokyo, were both trusted by the master, there were serious differences between them because of their different interests. of conflicts.

It is a relationship in which both are dissatisfied with the division of interests, watch out for each other, and check and balance each other.

Therefore, I think carefully about the kindness shown to me by Vice President Takada and Supervisor Ishikawa before and after my visit to Tokyo.

It is not difficult for Ning Weimin to guess that the reason why these two extended an olive branch to Huaxia Company was to strengthen their voice in management and to gain more control in this way. The power of Japanese company management in an attempt to overwhelm the president's line.

His more bold guess is that both himself and the Huaxia Company may have been involved in the power struggle of the Japanese branch to some extent, and have become the chessboard for Takada and Ishikawa. A chess piece used to attack the president.

That means that I will most likely be targeted and hostile by the president and others in the future, and my cooperation negotiations with Japanese companies on behalf of Huaxia Company may not go smoothly.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't expect that he is really a hottie and everyone can like him anyway.

He doesn't mind being used and schemed against by others.

Anyway, if you don’t have any benefits, you can’t afford to go early. In this case, you have already received benefits. Otherwise, how could coming to Tokyo be so smooth?

From now on, all you need to do is strive for Huaxia Company to gain enough benefits, and there is no need to think too much about other things.

What's more, God is on his side, and a thunderous disaster is being prepared for these Japanese devils.

Not to mention Japanese companies, no one in the entire country of Japan could have imagined that in a few years their entire country would decline from prosperity and encounter a hurdle that was almost impossible to overcome.

Takada and Ishikawa would never have imagined that they would lead a wolf into their house, and what kind of trouble would they cause?

If they find that the chess piece being used by them is always thinking about taking advantage of the general trend to annex their company, they will probably regret it and vomit blood, right?

After all, as the old saying goes, when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman will benefit. Whoever laughs last will laugh best.

I have plenty of time, so let’s ride on the donkey and read the songbook, and walk slowly.

Of course, then again, since he has gained so many benefits from Taniguchi and Xiangchuan, Ning Weimin, who is already good at getting along with others, naturally treats them more and more kindly.

Repaying kindness with kindness is an obvious principle.

Conversely, from the perspective of the dark side of psychology, even if we do not expect them to play a key role in the future, as long as we can maintain a good relationship, we can always understand the inside of Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd. from their mouths. The situation is not bad either.

It is an efficient channel for obtaining information. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

So Ning Weimin gave full play to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation: sweet talk, kindness, and generous hands.

On one side is what is good to hear and what is good to hear, on the other side is to treat me to dinner every day, give gifts, and give small favors.

Think about it, in comparison, Japanese bosses generally regard their subordinates as slaves. Even among Japanese colleagues, even meals are served on an AA basis, and even when having a drink after get off work, they always talk about their grievances. , flattering your boss.

Can Taniguchi and Xiangchuan still think that Ning Weimin's character is valuable?

Especially after their recent contact, they have gradually discovered that there are many differences in Ning Weimin.

For example, when they reported to the embassy, ​​Xiangchuan discovered that they were actually received by the minister-counsellor in person.

While going through various formalities, Taniguchi also noticed that Ning Weimin's personal seal was actually carved from the extremely expensive Tianhuang stone.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of stone it was, he knew it was worth a lot from the color and smoothness.

This undoubtedly shows that this young man who loves buying second-hand goods is by no means an ordinary person like them, but a truly big shot.

They were even more moved by Ning Weimin's approachability and never put on airs.

He is humorous and likes to chat, and is full of intimacy.

On the contrary, I always thought that his behavior of worrying about money was because he knew that his country was too poor and was deeply aware of the suffering of the people. It was a self-disciplined behavior that was worthy of admiration, not because he could not afford to spend money.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the exaggerated fact that he gave two people watermelons to relieve the heat, and why each person gave a whole watermelon.

You know, in Japan, watermelon is a luxury product that is famously expensive!

Not to mention that what Ning Weimin gave them was a black watermelon worth eight thousand yen each!

How many people in Japan are so lucky to receive such a gift and enjoy the freedom of eating watermelon?

Even their family members are too happy to believe it, and they seem to have become addicted to being rich because of this.

This Chinese man is simply too polite and friendly.

Ever since, Director Taniguchi not only improved family relations with the watermelon he took home.

He also finished his wife's work and decided to hold a banquet at home to entertain Ning Weimin and Kagawa Rinko.

Whether it is as a perfect ending to say goodbye to each other, or as a return of courtesy and emotional connection.

He thinks they are all necessary.

After hesitating for a long time, Kagawa Rinko finally overcame her psychological barrier and decided to help her sister.

He honestly told Ning Weimin about Ning Weimin's property purchase information that he had disclosed to his sister without permission.

While expressing apology, she also said that if possible, she hoped that Ning Weimin could also give her sister Miyoko Kagawa a chance to compete fairly.

Because although her sister has just entered the industry and has little experience, her company is a very formal real estate agency.

And the boss himself happens to have a friend who is eager to sell real estate in Ginza.

It seems to be a perfect fit for Ning Weimin to open a restaurant, and the price is very suitable.

For this, Ning Weimin naturally would not blame him. Instead, he thought that Kagawa Rinko was so honest that it was a bit pitiful and quite sympathetic.

This Japanese girl, how can I say that she is so innocent?

How can we survive in such a dangerous society?

Should we continue to teach her to be bad?

Contradiction.
