Seeing Axia finally nodding, Ning Weimin felt relieved and felt relaxed about helping others.
At this point, the second glass of whiskey has just been finished.
When Axia poured wine and ice for him again, Ning Weimin looked at his watch and felt that the time was just right.
It’s already 8:40. After having another drink and arranging everything, it’s almost time to leave.
But what he didn’t expect was that when he asked Axia again, how was her living condition now? Did she need any financial support? When would it be convenient for her to go to a real estate agency for an interview? Would she like to help with the interview? When Snaku's mom Sang resigned.
Axia not only got off the high stool, but also bowed to him solemnly according to Japanese custom.
And that’s what he said.
"Mr. Ning, you have troubled me so much. Feeling your sincerity makes me very ashamed. I really didn't expect that there are such good people like you in the world. I'm sorry, there are some I didn’t explain the situation clearly from the beginning. I’m afraid I misunderstood you. This is all my fault. Please forgive me. Don’t be angry.”
“Hey, what’s going on? ?”
Seeing her looking a little embarrassed and hurriedly apologizing, Ning Weimin was immediately confused.
"I...is actually not as depressed as I look. I still have some funds in my hand."
Axia raised her head and stared at Ning Weimin, but her eyes were much softer than before.
“To tell you the truth, after I arrived in Tokyo, my initial plan was to do Snake’s business. I came here to learn business from Mama-san in order to open a store of my own in Tokyo. It’s easier to make money in this business, but it’s mainly for safety. You know, except for Japanese people, foreigners who don’t understand the language will basically not patronize this place.”
“Because of this, I have to say that although I appreciate your advice and am willing to give a real estate agency a try. But I don’t plan to resign from Skuna for the time being. I want to be like a Japanese girl during the day. Go to work as a real estate agency and continue to work here at night.”
“For me, if there are two paths that can be grasped at the same time, it is better than one path, right? So... I am like this. Is it okay? Will the Japanese company you recommend me interfere with?”
Needless to say, after hearing Axia's explanation, the vague feeling of strangeness in Ning Weimin's heart finally disappeared.
No wonder he always felt that something was wrong after hearing how Axia came to Tokyo today.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, it is a bit too much to say that people like Axia, even if they are down and out, have to be reduced to the point where they have to rely on drinking wine to survive.
Ask yourself, a woman as smart as her and with experience in fishing for side jobs should have the strongest survivability.
Even if you use the past exchange channels and find ways to keep some principal, what's the difficulty?
So Ning Weimin, who had been mentally prepared and thought that the other party would have reservations, would certainly not care about it.
He has no habit of persuading young ladies to be good.
So I just nodded in realization, appropriately expressing support and understanding.
"Oh, so that's how it is, I understand, you are called a red heart, ready with both hands. I have no objection. I will also explain it to the department president of the real estate agency. You tonight As long as it doesn't affect your daytime work, I think he is unlikely to object. The Japanese are actually very tolerant of the customs industry, so I'm a little worried that you won't be able to bear it. By the way, you still have the qualifications to work in Japan. Legal issues. You must pay attention to it, in case you are..."
"Don't worry, I have the status of a Japanese spouse."
"What? You...you married a Japanese? Is the person you married reliable?"
Ning Weimin couldn't help being surprised again and couldn't help but ask.
“It’s not a real marriage, it’s just a formal marriage bought for one million yen for convenience. As long as you wait three years, you can get permanent resident status.”
< br>Although Axia said it very casually, her subconscious movements of combing her hair still expressed her inner restraint and guilt.
Ning Weimin was keenly aware that Axia was still a little embarrassed about this matter, as if she was afraid of being underestimated by him.
So he quickly calmed down and tried to persuade Axia as if nothing had happened.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, it’s a very smart idea. I can understand your situation. A woman must be careful everywhere when she is alone, and she has to face too many difficulties. Many times It's a helpless move. If I were you, I would do the same thing..."
"No matter what, there are some things you shouldn't do. Just like you helped me like this, I feel like I can't. If I am honest with you, I will feel guilty if I hide many things..."
"No, no, don't be embarrassed. Your situation is special, safety comes first, I think so. Keeping silent is the most effective way to protect yourself, so even if I help you, I will not inquire about your situation, and I will not disturb your life in the future if necessary. . Because this is good for us all.”
This is more generous and generous, and Axia can’t help but feel convinced.
"Mr. Ning, I really don't know how to thank you. It's really an honor for me to know you and get your guidance and help here. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you. As for today, this I’ll buy you a bottle of wine. I’ll drink this one, you can do as you like.”
The words Axia offered were completely different from the one she had shown just now, which was so intimate but actually hidden beneath the surface. Two people.
Ning Weimin was particularly happy, because this meant that the purpose of providing help in times of need had been achieved.
Since I appreciate my gratitude, it is enough for me to say something like this.
So he quickly raised his cup and made a timely statement of objection. "Hey, Axia, if you want to thank me, don't drink it all. It's too damaging to your body. If Mama Sang sees this, he might think I'm a bad guest who is deliberately trying to get you to drink. This wine can't let you drink either. Please. I have to support you today. If you really want to treat me, you can wait until you actually open your own store."
Axia continued to insist, but Ning Weimin waved his hand in an attitude that would not allow for debate.
"I appreciate your cheerful temperament, but I am a businessman, and what I value is harmony and making money, so let's not follow the rules of the world. Let's talk about business. At present, since Your situation has changed a bit, it's better than I thought. So if you really want to open a store, I would like to have a few words with you. After all, I came to Tokyo a few months before you, if you don't mind. Help you avoid some misunderstandings and risks that I think..."
Axia was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately became excited.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ning, please speak, I am all ears. Only by listening to others' advice can you have enough food. It's too late for me to thank you, how can I say I dislike it?"
After saying that, she held her chin in interest and rested her arms on the bar.
Concentrated on waiting for Ning Weimin to speak, he couldn't care about anything else.
Is this strange?
Not at all.
Because even though the two of them haven't had much interaction, no one knows Ning Weimin's investment level and ability better than Axia, a person who plays with money.
For Axia, Ning Weimin's willingness to teach her is equivalent to the god of investment giving her a bright light that can illuminate the direction of investment.
She was naturally as excited as those who were lucky enough to listen to Buffett's investment experience.
And to be honest, both of them are smart people, and they have secrets that they keep in their hearts.
As far as the amount of funds in Axia's hands is concerned, it is an uncertain number for Ning Weimin.
So even Ning Weimin himself doesn’t know how much wealth his casual advice can bring to Axia,
Take today as an example. After listening to his words, Axia can safely invest her money in the second-hand housing market in Tokyo.
Then the income she can get from it is far from being as simple as a well-paying job.
“Since you want to open a store, you must first find a suitable place to open a store. Is this true? Then let’s talk about which place to choose. As far as I know, the busiest place in Tokyo at night There are three areas, and most of Tokyo’s entertainment venues are concentrated there. Therefore, these three areas are called the three most prosperous areas by Tokyo people. Axia, do you know which areas they are?”
Facing Ning Wei? Axia did not dare to ignore the people's questions.
She was as serious as a student listening to the lecture. She thought about it carefully before saying, "Well... I almost know it. It should be Kabukicho, Roppongi and Ginza."
< br>
"Well said." Ning Weimin nodded approvingly, but asked another question. "But can you tell the differences between these areas?"
But this time Axia seemed even more uncertain.
"It...it seems that there are more high-end places in Ginza, and the area of Kabukicho Street is larger? There are more foreigners in Roppongi. Apart from that, other...I don't know very well "
"These comments of yours cannot be said to be wrong, but they are too general and not complete enough."
As expected, Ning Weimin did not fully agree this time, and launched his personal opinion on this. .
"In fact, there are strict class distinctions in Tokyo's nighttime entertainment venues. This is even reflected in different areas. Let's talk about Ginza first. From a historical perspective, this place was the first place where Westerners imported goods and culture into Japan. Base camp. Cafes, Western-style bars, steam baths, Christian churches, and galleries, these symbols of Western civilization first appeared in Ginza. It was in Ginza that the first time Japanese people ate ice cream. The first time I saw electric lights was in Ginza. Since the Meiji Restoration, Ginza has become Japan’s gateway to the world, and this situation has not changed even now.”
“Today’s Ginza is not only the gateway to Japan. Tokyo's most exclusive business district is also Asia's largest fashion showcase. Ginza has four major department stores, hundreds of galleries, thousands of specialty shops and high-end specialty stores, as well as countless entertainment venues. News" and "Asahi Shimbun" also have a place here. There are only two places in the world where the latest models of top European brands such as LV, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent can achieve simultaneous sales, one is New York in the United States, and the other is New York. It’s Tokyo, Japan. ”
“So some people say that when you walk on the streets of Ginza, you can feel the world’s top fashion trends, and you can also find Japan’s most traditional exquisite products, ranging from small ones. Chopsticks are as big as Japanese paper kimonos. This is true, Ginza is a large garden that combines Japan’s most classical culture with the world’s latest fashion.”
“In addition, from a geographical point of view, although Ginza is not. It is large, with a total area of less than one square kilometer, but it is close to Tokyo Station, the largest transportation hub in Japan. If you walk from Kasumigaseki, where the central government office of Japan is located, to Ginza. . It only takes about twenty minutes. Therefore, Ginza’s prosperity does not exist in isolation at all, but is connected to Japan’s political center, economic center, and transportation center. This unique condition is not matched by other areas. This determines the grade of Ginza. It must stand out among all the business districts in Tokyo.”
“Speaking of it, Ginza is actually very similar to the embassy district and bank district of the capital in the late Qing Dynasty. Foreign military camps, merchants from the south to the north, people coming to Beijing to take exams, and the opening of the Beijing Railway Station have created the scenery and prosperity of the Dashilan area. This is why Ginza's Seventh and Eighth Chomes are so famous. There are thousands of various bars and clubs, and there is no need to worry about business. Why are the bosses, presidents, presidents, directors, ministers and other cadres of Japanese large companies, as well as politicians such as congressmen and officials. , well-known people in the entertainment industry. Most people go to Ginza’s high-end clubs to spend time drinking wine.”
"The key is that these guests have unusual identities, which leads to different consumption styles. They will never care about prices, so the consumption level in Ginza can be said to be the highest in Japan. In the clubs there, one person costs at least 50,000 yen an hour. . The most expensive place can cost up to 100,000 yen per hour. If you compare it to this restaurant, even a glass of beer will be at least ten times more expensive, because you may not believe it. Many clubs in Ginza do not have price lists at all. Guests will not hesitate to ask for prices. Even since most of Ginza's high-end clubs are membership-based, guests who have not been introduced to them for the first time are not accepted. It’s impossible to say exactly how much money these clubs make every day. Even Japan’s tax department can’t really grasp it. Do you understand? This is the general situation in Ginza.”
Exit. , you will know if there is any.
To be honest, Ning Weimin has really learned to know himself and his enemy in the past few months just to open Tan Gong Restaurant, and he has almost completely figured out the situation in Ginza.
So this piece of business experience that has been studied for a long time not only analyzes the objective conditions of Ginza from history to geography, but may also explain it more clearly than a university professor who specializes in Japanese economy.
He also understands what is the focus of Axia’s greatest concern and the practical issues that concern him most.
So it was natural for Axia to be happy when she heard it, and she was very happy to see her.
So much so that she forgot that she was still at work.
Not only did Ning Weimin pour some wine with ice to moisten his throat, but he even urged him to drink it.
"I understand, I understand everything. Please go on, there are two other places..."
