Why did Axia open a club in Ginza?
Didn’t you introduce her to work at Dongjiye Real Estate Agency?
And he even wore Mama-san’s kimono?
Is she really that capable, or...?
With such doubts, Ning Weimin thought for a few minutes downstairs and decided to go upstairs to find out.
The passage leading to the elevator is as bright as the lobby, and the silver elevator is dazzlingly new. It is completely different from the atmosphere of the classic old store, Candlestick Club.
Ning Weimin, who came here for the first time, stepped out of the elevator on the third floor and looked around in surprise.
On the left and right sides of the passage are doors with the name of the club.
There is a reddish-brown, solemn, thick door at the end on the left, with "Chixia Club" inlaid in metal characters.
Ning Weimin then approached and gently pushed the door open.
The bright lights in the club suddenly caught his eye. Several female publicists who had not yet accompanied the guests were sitting in front of the bar at the entrance, looking back at him.
“Welcome!”
At the same time, a tall and thin male waiter also came forward to greet him.
In the end, before he could talk to Ning Weimin further, Mamasang, who was explaining something to the bartender in front of the bar, turned around and saw Ning Weimin.
And recognized him who opened the door and peeked in.
Then he quickly moved over, opened the door and stood in front of him, saying in a surprised and excited tone.
"Oh, Ning Sang, why is it you? Welcome, come in!"
Now that we are face to face, there will never be any mistake again.
The woman in kimono in front of Ning Weimin is indeed Axia!
But compared to the past, when she stood with her head bowed, her temperament and appearance had changed drastically.
She is like a high-quality actor who can act like anything, and she has become very professional in this industry.
For example, she used to always wear her hair loosely on her shoulders, and her cheeks looked a bit thin.
However, now she has bangs on her forehead and a fashionable hairstyle.
There is no longer any sense of slenderness, and the slightly pointed chin looks much rounder due to the change in hairstyle.
And she folded her hands in front of her and bowed to salute, exactly like a Japanese woman.
If you don’t know, you will definitely think that she is a native Japanese.
In addition, the clothing style is also different.
When she opened a bank in mainland China, she always wore black and gray professional women's clothing, looking like a neutral business elite.
Although he still has a bit of a charlatan attitude, at first glance he looks like a typical "white-bone spirit".
When I came to Japan to work in Snaku, I always wore fashionable and soft dresses, turning into a delicate and delicate little woman.
But now she is wearing a kimono made of royal blue fabric dyed with floral patterns, and a dark green butterfly-shaped black belt around her waist, which makes the bright green waist padding more eye-catching.
This kind of makeup and clothing give her the majesty and posture of a bar mamasang, and there is no trace of her past.
Although she has changed careers, her temperament can change as if she were a different person, which makes people who know her secretly surprised. This is a skill that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
So Ning Weimin couldn't help but joke, "Mama-san is so beautiful, no wonder your business here is so good. Customers all come here for you. For example, I saw it from the door of the Lion Beer Bar. You couldn’t help but be attracted to follow me.”
Axia suddenly understood, smiled without saying a word, and bowed again.
Then he followed suit and invited Ning Weimin to a sofa seat at the back of the club with better privacy.
Ning Weimin still clearly remembers that he persuaded Axia a few months ago.
Tell her that although opening a club in Ginza can make money quickly, the operating costs are too high.
Even if you rent a house, it is impossible to open a 60-square-meter store in Ginza without 200 million yen.
Once she misses, the loss will be too great. I really don’t recommend her to choose this path.
That's why he suggested that she go to Roppongi to open a karaoke bar, and personally vouched for her, introduced her to work as a real estate agent in Higashi Kaiye, and guided her to quickly accumulate entrepreneurial capital by taking advantage of the general trend of the bubble economy.
But Ning Weimin really didn’t expect that even if the house prices in Ginza have increased significantly, the cost of opening a store will further increase. Under such circumstances, Axia still came to Ginza to become a mother-in-law. .
And this Chixia Club has more than 100 square meters of business space alone, nearly 40 square meters.
If this store belongs entirely to her, it would be a big deal, it would be incredible.
Actually, during the process of walking in and taking a seat, Ning Weimin looked around.
After careful observation, he already had a general understanding of the layout of this club.
There is a restroom next to the main entrance to the club. Next to it is a shelf used to store guests' clothes, bags and suitcases.
There is a narrow door behind the bottle rack in front of the wine counter. It should be a dressing room and storage room. There is a curtain hanging next to the counter.
Excluding these spaces, there are still about ten seats for eight people, two tables for four, and twelve seats in front of the drink counter. The area is much wider than Ning Weimin imagined. wide. The brand-new ceilings and walls are very dazzling no matter how they are decorated, and the newly purchased tables, chairs and cushions are shiny.
The overall decoration design uses brown tones, combined with black tones, giving people a calm and quiet feeling.
In the center of the store's business space, there is a round table with a large Kutani kiln flowerpot.
This is the highlight of the whole venue and the most eye-catching place.
Because the huge and gorgeous flower pot contains a group of large flower arrangements made of a variety of flowers such as vermilion, rose red, bean paste and pink. It is visually estimated that it is at least as tall as a person.
It looks quite gorgeous and lush, like red clouds. No matter who sees it, they can’t help but praise it, and at the same time, they will immediately think of the origin of the name of this store.
From this point of view, Axia did use clever ideas.
If nothing else, Ning Weimin never thought that flowers could be used as decoration in such a clever way to add taste and style to the store.
Although such flower arrangements need to be replaced at least twice a week, the associated costs are certainly high.
But it must be said that the decorative effect of this hand is so amazing that this gorgeous flower arrangement has become the signature of the store.
On this point, no matter how much money is spent here, it cannot be considered an injustice.
So even after sitting down, Ning Weimin listened to Axia whispering to the waiter next to him what drinks and side dishes to bring.
He was still secretly calculating how much money it would cost to decorate and decorate this club.
The more he looked at it carefully, the more he felt that Axia was capable beyond imagination.
The decoration cost of this store is not a small sum, the standard is at least as good as Ginza Dangu, and the space is so abundant, Na Hongxia.
In addition, when I walked in, I saw that except for the guests who were accompanied by Axia and several ladies just now, they were all seated.
At the bar at the door, there were several male customers who had just entered the store and were talking to the bartenders in front of the bar.
Judging from their familiarity, these people should not be strangers.
Considering that it is still too early, there is no doubt that Chixia is a newly opened store. It is obvious that the business of this club is not bad.
“You chose a very appropriate store name, it’s very special. I can tell it’s your store at a glance. Congratulations!”
Ning Weimin expressed his congratulations while Looking at Axia, he tried his best to find out more information.
At this time, in his eyes, the Axia of the past no longer existed, and what he saw in front of him was a qualified Ginza Club Mama-san.
But how she did it, how she was able to open such a store, is very mysterious.
The most strange thing is the issue of time.
Ning Weimin couldn't figure it out at all. Did Axia already find a good place and start decorating it when she was working as a female publicist in Snaku?
“This is really an award. In fact, it’s just to save trouble and I just called it casually without thinking too much.”
Axia had already understood the meaning of Ning Weimin's words deep in her eyes, and she quickly responded to resolve Ning Weimin's doubts.
"You must be curious, right? Why didn't I stay in Dongjiye? Where did I get the funds to open such a store in Ginza?"
Ning Weimin did not deny this. Click, smile and nod, waiting for her to continue.
"I'm sorry, I do have to apologize to you in advance for this matter. When we reunited at 'Dantes' before the Spring Festival, it was too unexpected, so I was quite suspicious at the time. So for the sake of safety After considering it, I didn’t tell you the whole truth. In fact, I have the ability to open a store in Ginza, and I didn’t come here alone, except for Mr. Hong’s daughter. , and several 14K brothers who used to do bank business with me in the mainland. I am very sorry that I was not honest with you, and I sincerely hope you can forgive me."
The smile on Axia's face disappeared. , was replaced by a sincere and serious expression, and after speaking, he bowed deeply and solemnly.
As the old saying goes, you must be on guard against others.
Now that he knows that Axia fled to Japan, Ning Weimin can completely understand this.
But the last sentence, the news that it actually involved Mr. Hong’s daughter, surprised him greatly.
He still remembers the girl he doted on when he first met Mr. Hong.
But the news was too heavy. To be cautious, Axia had no reason to tell him.
"No, no need to apologize. It's normal for you to do this in your situation. But... is Mr. Hong's daughter also in Japan? You should not reveal such important information under any circumstances, even to me. Why are you doing this now? ..."
Ning Weimin said emotionally that his words were a bit confusing and he couldn't even finish the second half of the sentence.
How shocked he was was clearly expressed through his expression.
"Please don't worry about it. First of all, Ningsang, you have really helped me too much and you are fully worthy of my trust. Now that we have met, I would be really ashamed if I kept hiding it from you. In addition, the current situation It’s quite different. We have found a reliable backer here. The Inagawa Association, the third largest social organization in Japan, is also a person who cares about relationships with Hong. My husband is a good friend and a sworn brother, so he is willing to protect us and send a warning to the gangsters in Hong Kong City in the name of the Daochuan Society, so there will definitely be no problem with the gangs in Hong Kong City. Basically everything has calmed down. No one will go eastward to seek revenge. We just need to make money in Japan and find ways to help Mr. Hong get out as soon as possible." Axia, who knew she had scared Ning Weimin, hurriedly said. Slow down your cheeks, smile and explain as best you can.
In this way, Ning Weimin relaxed again.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel moved. It seemed that Axia's relationship with the Japanese world was not shallow.
In this case, if your restaurant is harassed by the association again, can you ask for advice?
Or ask for help?
