This is just the gains of the virtual economy and the speculative market.
Similarly, Ning Weimin also gained a lot from physical operations.
You must know that in the era we are in now, because the stock market and property market have created a prosperous scene for Japan in addition to false prosperity, various information magazines and TV programs that teach people to consume are also emerging one after another.
What gifts should I give during the holidays?
Which restaurant should I go to for a date?
Which high-end hotel should I book for a romantic date with my girlfriend?
Which investment prospects are promising?
Which stock will rise sharply if you buy it?
What kind of bag should a girl have to look stylish?
What kind of appearance should a boy have to have an identity?
What kind of apartment does a romantic person live in?
How to match clothes?
Anyone who has never driven an imported luxury car is a country bumpkin. It would be a pity if he did not travel anywhere...
Every kind of information, Shining seductively.
So these consumerist remarks have become pickpockets that empty the wallets of ordinary people.
As long as people care about this information, their minds will become impetuous.
If others have it but you don’t, that would be such a pity and unwillingness.
Coupled with the general increase in wages and the appreciation of the Japanese yen, compared to the past, Japanese people also have more money and time for personal consumption from the objective environment.
Especially on Friday night with the popularity of weekends, most Japanese people in the city will eat, party, spend, and shop outside.
Because Friday is called "金曜日" in Japanese, this day is also called "花の金曜日", or "花金" for short.
This has greatly promoted the extraordinary prosperity of Japan's catering industry, entertainment industry and department store retail industry.
To put it bluntly, in Japan at this time, people's wages were high, but prices were relatively cheap.
The income of Japanese people is increasing, but the cost of living is correspondingly decreasing.
Even with the lowest part-time salary of 1,000 yen an hour, you can still buy four packs of imported cigarettes at a convenience store.
Or use this thousand yen to eat a regular buffet for one and a half hours. Beef hotpot is also the same price.
People in big cities, even if they don't cook at home, can't spend much money eating out at fast food and buffets.
As long as you don’t buy a house, you will still have a lot of balance at the end of the month.
Even if you need to rent a house, you will feel that your money is much easier than in the past.
This extra money not only makes Japanese people indulge in the joy of consumption, but also makes almost all Japanese people believe that the future will only be better.
At the same time, credit card companies and financial companies that provide unsecured loans have provided more convenient assistance for Japanese people to spend money.
They are all vigorously brainwashing ordinary people, claiming, "It doesn't matter if you have no money today, it doesn't matter if you spend all your salary. Anyway, you will earn it back tomorrow. So please relax and enjoy yourself. We can help you use tomorrow's money first." Come and spend.”
In this way, hearing this voice every day, the Japanese have further lost their financial vigilance.
No matter whether they have money or not, or how much money they earn, people dare to indulge their desires lavishly.
No one can predict the huge risks this trap of excessive consumption will bring to their lives.
No one would have thought that one day they would be forced to commit suicide, commit a crime, or be sold.
Therefore, among today's young people in Japan, there are many who drive luxury sports cars and are saddled with millions in debt.
There are many "card slaves" who carry more than a dozen credit cards and use new debt to pay off old debts.
As for the high-end catering industry in Japanese society, the prices of food and ingredients at this time have reached an absurdly high and exaggerated level.
One kilogram of Matsusaka Special Beef worth 100,000 yen and gold-leaf Eho sushi rolls priced at 15,000 yen are too common.
For example, the roast duck at Tan Gong Restaurant costs 9,800 yen per set, or the shark fins and bird's nests at 9,900 yen per customer. They are not unusual, and customers happily accept them.
No! It's not just acceptance. In the last month of last year, because the company held too many New Year's parties, these expensive ingredients were in short supply.
Take roast duck as an example. After operating for such a long time, Ning Weimin has increased the number of Kyoto ducks from 30 to 80 per day.
Originally, it was almost enough, but in December it was not sold at night.
Ning Weimin had to temporarily negotiate with the supplier to increase the quantity, and finally reached a new contract to provide 150 pieces per day at a price of 5,000 yen per piece.
But even so, individual customers have to rely on luck if they want to eat, because a New Year's Eve party usually has a scale of two to three hundred people, and at least a hundred roast ducks can be ordered, or even more.
However, this special duck cannot be transformed at once.
Even if Ning Weimin wanted to spend more money to buy more, the supplier couldn't come up with more ducks.
If we don’t have a year to breed, the current supply is the limit.
So in the last month of last year, the Tokyo branch of Tan Gong Restaurant founded by Ning Weimin made a huge profit.
The monthly turnover is as high as more than 300 million yen, with an average of over 10 million yen per day.
The gross profit should be at least half, which is one million US dollars.
This month alone has almost caught up with those in China who have been busy for a whole year.
You can imagine how successful the three investors in China will be once they know the news!
I guarantee that no one will think that he insisted on coming to Tokyo in the first place. It is arrogant to suspect that he is actually traveling abroad with public funds in the name of foreign trade.
And the key is that even after the New Year, the consumption momentum of Tan Gong Restaurant has not dropped much.
The large-scale New Year's Eve party is gone, but because we got to know the cooking level of Tan Gong Restaurant, there are a lot more repeat customers.
Even Ning Weimin heard some guests talking in private, "Oh, it turns out that the Chinese emperor's banquet is so cheap! It tastes good but a bit greasy. Especially at this price...compared to Kaiseki cuisine is still a bit different. It only costs 100,000 yen for two people to eat well. It seems that the food quality of us Japanese aristocrats is higher!”
"Yes, the price of Chinese food is just like this. It can never be compared with restaurants with three Michelin stars. Do you know? The French restaurant Ebisu in Mita, Meguro District, Tokyo, has a minimum consumption of 50,000 yen per person for one night. There are many people who spend millions. It’s really a benefit here!”
For this, Ning Weimin didn’t know whether to laugh or scold.
I have said it in my heart, it seems that I am still too merciful!
So in order to win glory for the country and get rid of the humiliation of "affordable", he has not only decided to remake the menu, but also to increase prices.
And I am increasingly looking forward to the harvest of rouge rice and palace yellow, and I have the idea of further pursuing the victory.
I silently began to think about whether I should open another branch in places like Osaka and Kyoto.
This is not only the case with Tan Gong Restaurant, which is run and managed by Ning Weimin. The Chixia Club, run and managed by Maria for him and Axia, is also booming and has completely broken through the profit bottleneck.
Since all walks of life have endless money to spend, Ning Weimin knows more and more famous people.
Under the careful maintenance of her mother, Samaria, who is good at handling men, this club has quickly become popular in Ginza. Now, even the famous novelist Matsumoto Seicho and the president of Hanwa Kogyo, Kitashige, and the president of Yamaichi Securities, Nozawa Shohei, have become regular visitors to the Akaxia Club.
It is no longer a problem for the club to have a monthly profit of 20 million yen.
We are heading towards a monthly profit prospect of 30 million yen.
As for Ning Weimin, the private property that belongs entirely to him has made a lot of money.
Take the most inconspicuous Huiwentang Bookstore as an example. Because of its great location, even though its business hours are not long every day, there is no shortage of customers.
Especially here, they also sell Chinese dim sum that cannot be eaten elsewhere, and the books and furnishings are also very Chinese-style, which is considered unique.
Most of the guests who have been here once will leave a profound impact on this place, so that more and more repeat guests come to enjoy the tranquility in the bustle.
Even Mizoguchi Yuzo, a famous sinologist at the University of Tokyo, has become a regular customer of the bookstore.
The Japanese scholar Sohei Ito, who was hired by Ning Weimin to translate the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" and the 120-chapter novel "Dream of Red Mansions", would also come to the bookstore from time to time.
It is both a search for inspiration and information.
You know, when Ning Weimin went to flea markets in Japan to collect antiques, he would buy Chinese books whenever he saw them.
In addition, he returned to China several times and brought many Chinese books with him.
Especially the many comic books I brought back this time are very popular among the bookstore regulars.
So as a bookstore, it already has the reputation of being the number one Chinese bookstore in Tokyo.
Although Chinese books cannot be sold openly, customers can browse or even borrow them on the spot.
And because famous scholars often visit, Beijing's scented tea and green tea and relatively high-end hand-ground coffee have gradually become new items in the store.
It can be said that even as a cafe, Huiwentang Bookstore is considered a success.
Both profits and turnover are continuing to grow steadily day after day.
At least among sinologists in Tokyo, he is already somewhat famous.
If it weren't for the fact that labor is too expensive and it is difficult to hire qualified long-term workers, Rinko Kagawa and Shinyu Taniguchi can only take care of it in their spare time.
The business situation of Huiwentang Bookstore will undoubtedly be better, and doubling the turnover and turnover will not be a problem.
What's more, even so, the Chinese handicrafts that Ning Weimin consigned in the store were not included.
The most gratifying phenomenon of this New Year is that there is no promotion at all, and the Chinese handicrafts in the store are almost sold out.
Even the grapes that were used as samples on the shelves were bought with huge sums of money.
Many of the customers who come and go in the store think that these unique items are perfect as Christmas gifts or New Year gifts for family and friends.
And because things are rare and expensive, no one questions the price.
On the contrary, the Chinese pastries in the store had a lot of gift boxes ordered years ago.
This undoubtedly brought Ning Weimin a considerable windfall, which was enough to offset the cost of buying out the overseas rights to the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". It must be said that this was good news that made him overjoyed.
But then again, whether it is a restaurant, a club, or a bookstore, it pales in comparison to Ning Weimin's Da Dao Trading Company.
With the advent of this period, which is called the golden age but is actually a bubble era, more and more Japanese people have money in their pockets, and the tourism and aviation industries are also developing vigorously at this stage.
Last year’s Christmas and the ensuing New Year became a flash point for Japanese people to travel abroad and go shopping in Europe and the United States.
Even if you are limited by time and financial conditions, you cannot travel abroad.
It’s no problem to come to Okinawa for two days and one night to relax.
Alternatively, it’s not impossible to fly to Hokkaido to ski and play golf.
As long as you are willing to pay for air tickets, you can travel on weekends.
In the past, perhaps the Japanese still had the idea of “it’s good, but how is it possible?”
But now I just shout "That's it!"
From this point of view, it is also a reflection of the times.
There is no doubt that the strong demand for travel and the strong demand for shopping represent the strong demand for suitcases.
To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin's "invention" itself is a flying eagle, and it has caught up with the biggest trend.
As you can imagine, the profits will follow.
If nothing else, just say that this New Year, Yamato sightseeing is almost extremely busy.
This can be seen only from the fact that Ning Weimin's inventory has been almost emptied.
More than 100,000 boxes are gone, and 3.5 billion yen are about to be credited. These are real bills.
A company composed of only a dozen disabled people and housewives can run such a hugely profitable project. Even Ning Weimin himself admires the cost-effectiveness and is proud of it.
Besides the taxes that should be paid, the Japanese really did not get much benefit from it. This is the most important thing.
Not to mention there is better news coming.
In a few months, the patent for the trolley suitcase will be officially approved in Japan.
In other words, by then, Ning Weimin can try to make money by collecting taxes from foreign countries with the patent of the trolley suitcase.
Ning Weimin has already made plans to contact several well-known luggage companies in Japan.
The greatest benefit brought by the rapid withdrawal of funds will certainly allow Ning Weimin to make more profits from the stock market and property market in Japan.
Also in Europe and Hong Kong, I heard that the effect of trolley suitcases participating in exhibitions is also very good. Many luggage manufacturers and sales platform merchants are very interested.
As long as Japan's patents are released and European and American patents are implemented, then it will be an alliance of several of their companies to "collect taxes" from luggage companies around the world.
What are the future prospects?
Just look at the Tetra Pak packaging.
This Swedish packaging company relies on its milk and juice packaging patent and uses its market dominance to dominate the Chinese dairy industry for a long time in the future.
It wasn’t until foreign countries successfully broke the monopoly of Tetra Pak packaging through the development of independent manufacturing technology that the entire dairy industry was liberated from the dire straits of working for foreigners in vain.
Of course Ning Weimin can't make a Tetra Pak package without a screwdriver.
His food appearance is much more elegant, after all, he has a profound background.
For him, this patent is just the icing on the cake, and it is still not his core advantage. (End of this chapter)
