"Why? Because there is such a disparity in strength!"
Ning Weimin sighed and tried to tell Axia the reality she had to accept in a calm tone.
“You just said that Genshiro Kawamoto’s Genji Group doesn’t even dare to provoke the Inagawa Society, and this guy is still using other stores he bought to attack you. Do you really think that you Can getting money and applying for a bank loan solve everything? "I tell you, this is just the beginning. There are so many ways for the other party to make you feel uncomfortable. If I were him, I would take the next step. If you don’t have a good relationship, let the Japanese tax department check your taxes and let the Japanese police come to check whether all your employees have legal status. In short, let everyone who can check you come to check you. Can you still do business with peace of mind?”
"You might as well think again, how many companies rely on the Genji Group to survive! Why does the Genji Group want to say hello and let these people make things difficult for you? Your purchase is more expensive than others, and if there is a problem in the store, no one will repair it, and the salary will be removed from the bottom of the pot. , Can the business get better? If Chixia does not make money, how long can you persist? Then you will be faced with a situation where you are attacked from all sides. "
"And have you forgotten how Mr. Hong got into trouble? How dirty the Japanese judiciary is, and where their moral bottom line is, none of us know. Let me use an analogy, if someone is in your store What can you do if you hide some prohibited items? It’s not impossible to seal your shop. After all, we are foreigners. This is a natural weakness.”
“If we really have the right to stay. Something goes wrong and you can no longer stay in Japan. Can you still keep this store? At that time, I'm afraid you will have to take Mr. Hong's children and your gangster brothers with you again. Find another place to wander. As long as Daochuan will be merciful and not plot against you..."
Don't say it, Ning Weimin is not an alarmist.
These words sound scary, but they are undoubtedly very likely to happen.
No matter how unfair it is, it is legal!
Who asked you to go to other people's territory to make money?
People can easily harvest you in their own territory, why should they be so arrogant?
So much so that Axia was horrified but could not find any reason to refute.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
At this time, Axia's mind was already in confusion, and she was no longer the shrewd and strong woman.
Even because of excessive fear and anxiety, she stared at Ning Weimin's face, tears streaming down her face.
However, even so, Ning Weimin still told her the cruelest truth with a hard heart.
So much so that the poor girl's vision was blurry and she almost fainted.
"Sell it, sell the store. There is no other way. A bachelor will not fight for power, and a hero will not suffer immediate losses. Who told us to think of Tokyo as simple as this? You can’t admit it, just take a step back and bear with it.”
“Is that right? Is this what you...you gave me?”
>
Axia suppressed her emotions in extreme pain and panic.
"Yes, this is my suggestion." Ning Weimin looked at Axia calmly.
"This is too much! I can't do it! Are we really friends?"
Axia gritted her teeth, her eyes were filled with anger, and her body was trembling with extreme anger, as if Ning Weimin was the enemy who persecuted her.
Ning Weimin sighed, a kind-hearted person will always be misunderstood.
But he couldn't get angry with an emotional friend because of this. Who hasn't been anxious yet?
He believed Axia would figure it out eventually.
"Of course, if you don't want to. I will give you the money. It's not a loan, it's 300 million yen, I'll give it to you. I only ask for one thing. That is, you don't reveal the identity of this money. I gave it to you. From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with me. Please forgive me. I have to think about myself. I really don’t want to provoke the tiger..."
Three hundred million yen!
Equivalent to two million US dollars!
Just give it away!
Not to mention in shopping malls, it is almost impossible to happen in Jianghu.
Ning Weimin used his generosity and loyalty to make Axia no longer doubt the value of this friendship.
So he had to reconsider his suggestion.
So after a while, Axia finally recognized the reality and nodded slowly in despair.
"It seems... it seems... this is the only way... Mr. Ning, you are right... I understand..."
But at this moment, only weak babbles are left. Xia's heart was not only filled with frustration and loss, but also with unspeakable grief and indignation and an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
It was inevitable that she would not be angry with Ning Weimin, who revealed the truth for her, thinking that he lacked courage, was bloodless, and was too cowardly.
Yes, she knew that Ning Weimin was a good person and her true friend.
But unfortunately, in the face of bullying and oppression, he would only respond by swallowing his anger and making concessions.
For a 14K person, or even a 14K woman, this is the hardest fact to accept.
If it weren’t for the safety of a child on my body.
She will definitely risk her life to fight to the death with anyone who dares to take advantage of her.
So Ning Weimin's suggestion is even the most reasonable suggestion and the most rational approach at present.
But Axia will inevitably be disappointed, and therefore she can’t help but compare Ning Weimin and Mr. Hong together, and can’t help but think, how wonderful it would be if nothing happened to Brother Teddy!
If Brother Teddy was still here, it would definitely not be such a result...
But things in life are often so unexpected.
Most of the time, even the smartest people can rarely guess the beginning and the ending at the same time.
Axia is the same.
In fact, it was exactly when she missed the tough guy in jail and lamented that she had been reduced to being bullied at will.
Ning Weimin, who disappointed her today, started a brainstorm for her again.
He actually taught her a new lesson with his new business wisdom and never-say-die persistence, showing her another strong demeanor and refreshing her cognition. "How's it going, A'Xia, are you feeling better? I know it's difficult to make this decision. You need time to calm down completely. However, the matter is imminent now and we don't have much time. I'm afraid we have to talk about it again. What to do next..."
"Huh? What's next?" Axia was really surprised by Ning Weimin's words.
“What else are we going to talk about next? If I sell the store, won’t it be over?”
However, she didn't expect that Ning Weimin would show an even more incredible expression than hers.
The questions she blurted out left her speechless.
"What do you say? It's all over? How is that possible! Don't we want to make money anymore? Don't our people want to eat? Don't you want to continue fighting the lawsuit for Mr. Hong?"< br>
However, what he said next made Axia, who had already lost interest in the conversation, cheer up again and gain hope for life.
"Axia, don't be discouraged. You should think about the good things. Although those scoundrels can take away our house and prevent us from getting the maximum benefit, they took away our book in the middle of the process. It should be a fruitful harvest for us. But we started early and the market is good, so we will definitely make a profit even if our house is forced to sell. If this road doesn't work, we can just take another road. As the saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties. How can we two live in a state where we can't hold our urine to death? So what matters now? In addition to trying to get better prices and more benefits for ourselves in negotiations, we also have to think about where we want to invest our money in the future. Do you think this is true?”
"That's right."
Axia couldn't help but swallow her saliva, already a little bit overwhelmed by Ning Weimin.
She stared straight at Ning Weimin's face, completely unable to guess what Ning Weimin would say next.
Ning Weimin, on the other hand, was very satisfied when he saw Axia listening so engrossedly, and the conversation became more interesting.
"I'm not hiding it from you. This Genshiro Kawamoto plotting against your store is a natural disaster for you, but having said that, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Guess what? I just listened to you. After learning about his situation, I realized the shortcomings of my previous business strategies and found a better investment direction. "
"First of all, I think the biggest mistake I made when I came to Japan was to believe that the laws of developed countries are omnipotent. In a place where I am unfamiliar with my life, I act like a fool and boldly start with the best things from others. Thinking that spending money If you buy it, you can get benefits for yourself, but you don't consider whether your overall strength is enough to eat this big meat."
"Think about it, what kind of place is Ginza? It is a blessing for outsiders like us to have the best and prosperous area in our hands. How can we not attract the attention of others afterwards? This is equivalent to the Japanese buying the most beautiful place in our capital. If a good courtyard house buys a palace with a long history, it will not be as simple as an ordinary transaction if the people in the capital know about it, because it will inevitably hurt the national pride and cause negative emotions. Trouble is inevitable. "
"So we wanted to make a fortune peacefully? This is impossible in itself. I dare say that as long as we have the real estate in Ginza, we can do it even if we don't have Genshiro. Fang Shilang came to find us. Do you still remember the gangsters who came to my altar? If I hadn't acted in a hurry and scared them off, I don't know how it would have ended. If the land price continued to rise, my altar would be in danger. I am afraid that the palace will be in danger again. So when we invest again this time, we must do the opposite and pay attention to concealment, so that we can have the last laugh more safely."
The truth is right, but these words are getting more confusing. Axia became curious.
She was not in the mood to introspect like Ning Weimin, so she couldn't help but rush a little anxiously.
"Mr. Ning, please stop showing off. Tell me quickly? What are you going to do? Where to invest the money?"
"Parking space!"
"Parking ""
"Yes, or it can be said to be the parking lot!"
Axia was shocked by Ning Weimin's words. She really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would fall in love with such a grassroots person. industry.
To be honest, Axia is really no stranger to the parking lot industry.
Because the port city is also a place where land is at a premium and population density is extremely high.
Due to the scarcity of parking lots, parking in Hong Kong City is a problem.
That’s why luxury hotels and high-end entertainment venues in Hong Kong City all use “valet parking” signs.
In fact, I asked some Hong Kong guys to drive the guests' cars to a parking lot far away, and then notified them in advance to bring the cars back during dinner.
And this industry has always been monopolized by the Hong Kong underworld.
Not for any other reason, but because for the people at the bottom of society who have no academic qualifications, this industry is considered a good job.
Although many five-star hotels and other high-end hotels have free parking spaces, this is only "free" in name.
Take a five-star hotel like the Peninsula Hotel as an example. The price for valet parking usually starts at HKD 500.
If the guest stays from afternoon to evening, it is more appropriate to pay one thousand Hong Kong dollars.
Ah Xia and Sheng Zai, along with Mr. Hong, had managed the valet parking in front of the Peninsula Hotel for 14K.
She still remembers a time when her younger brother couldn't find a place to park the car for the guests and didn't know what to do.
Mr. Hong took the car from his younger brother and drove the guest's car on the road until the guest finished his meal.
Three hours later, when the guest was about to leave, the car's odometer had already driven 200 kilometers.
She didn’t expect that she had already opened a nightclub and became the owner, but now she would have to go back to the past and deal with the parking lot. Isn’t this like living longer and going back again?
So based on past experience and instinctive conflict, she immediately expressed doubts.
"Mr. Ning, is this idea really feasible? The return rate of the parking lot does not seem to be very high. In Hong Kong City, public transportation is not as developed as in Japan, but even in the city center, parking fees are high. It’s only three Hong Kong dollars. Commercial private parking lots are a bit higher, with prices ranging from eight, ten, or fifteen Hong Kong dollars per hour, but those locations are very good, and just like the parking lots in Ginza and Toranomon, they’re also not for ordinary people. You can buy it. The real money in this industry in Hong Kong is the valet parking service, which seems not to be popular among Japanese people. They seem to be very careful about their cars and don’t drive them out very much, especially if they don’t like them. To the Japanese, tipping is more like an insult and will be looked down upon.”
It’s normal to be questioned. Ning Weimin was mentally prepared for this, but he didn’t expect him to open his mouth. Kasumi would agree.
As the saying goes, the lamp cannot be turned on and the reason cannot be understood. He began to explain very patiently.
"Yes, Axia, what you said is all right. Especially the cultural differences, which require special attention. But you also ignored some problems. The differences between Tokyo and Hong Kong City will also lead to other problems. On the one hand, it is beneficial to the industry. For example, the taxi charges and parking fees in Tokyo are much higher than those in Hong Kong City. The same is true for parking in Tokyo, right? Fei, it’s really exciting!”
"Maybe because you don't drive, and you have worked and lived in prosperous areas like Roppongi and Ginza for a long time, you may not have paid much attention to the parking fees in Japan. Let me tell you this, the high parking fees in Tokyo are not limited to In prosperous areas, the Japanese government seems to be deliberately using high parking fees to restrict private car travel. Parking fees in the 23 districts in Tokyo are generally very high, and the cheapest place costs 300 yen per hour, which is two dollars. , Fifteen Hong Kong dollars.”
“And this is just the starting price. In the central business district, it is charged every ten minutes or half an hour. An hour’s parking fee can be charged. Thousands of yen is the normal standard. If you want to rent a parking space in the city center, it is not uncommon to spend 60,000 to 70,000 yen per month.”
“And it’s not too expensive for you. Because in some places, parking is limited to one hour or two hours. If you park beyond the time limit and don't drive away, someone will immediately come up and put a sticker on you. Like parking illegally, the fine will be quite severe. It starts at 10,000 yen and can reach up to 30,000 yen.”
“From the perspective of an office worker, if you don’t take into account Japan’s overtime culture and only work eight hours a day, in a big city like Tokyo. In cities, if you drive to work, the daily parking fee is about 150,000 yen, which accounts for almost half of your income! This is the real reason why Japanese people are reluctant to drive their private cars to work. The salary is really unaffordable." (End of Chapter)
