Chapter 1233 Bubble Atmosphere
The wedding ceremony ended after taking a group photo, and then entered the eating and drinking session.
In fact, the customs in Japan and China are similar. So many people came to support me, and everyone gave me a piece of money.
The Japanese groom and bride cannot sit and dine with champagne glasses in hand in front of the golden screen that represents the wedding ceremony.
Of course the newlyweds have to toast each other.
Otherwise, it is really unjustifiable, and he will really become a country bumpkin who does not understand etiquette.
And similarly, toasts must be made to the guest of honor first.
Logically speaking, Ning Weimin is undoubtedly one of the more important guests.
With his worth and the fact that he is accompanied by a celebrity fiancée like Matsumoto Keiko, he is most likely the most prestigious and distinguished guest here, so he should be the first to drink this glass of wine with the bride and groom.
However, Ning Weimin himself did not take himself too seriously and gave the bride and groom almost no chance.
Not only did he fail to sit at the guest of honor seat as arranged, but he also pulled Keiko Matsumoto away who was already sitting at the guest of honor seat.
The two of them turned around to find Director Taniguchi and took the initiative to sit at the same table with the family.
To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin came here purely to relax. He was still willing to get together with familiar people and chat about home affairs. It was more comfortable, so there was no need to wrong himself.
Unfortunately, although his simple wishes are good, his own strength does not allow him to keep a low profile.
Because even if he doesn't come to others to socialize, others will come to him.
No, just when he was dragging Matsumoto Keiko to choose food at Buffy Terrace, he was standing between the various fish sashimi and teppanyaki.
The Qingshan Real Estate owner who had done business with him had his eyes sharp. When he saw him, he came over and found him before the bride and groom to get close to him.
This guy is the officiant of the woman's wedding. He has a different status and is a businessman. He has a thick skin that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
So when we met, we first asked to take a photo with Matsumoto Keiko, and then asked Ning Weimin to chat about the real estate market.
The steaks and seafood that Ning Weimin asked the chef to cook were so stunned that the steaks and seafood cooked by Ning Weimin were cold. This guy was still talking about it.
Later, thanks to Kagawa Rinko seeing this scene, she found an excuse and thoughtfully came to rescue Ning Weimin, and invited Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko away together.
Otherwise, Ning Weimin would not be able to sit down to eat, and even his legs would be numb while standing.
But to be honest, we can’t blame Aoki Real Estate, the “bubble pusher”, for not being able to tell the difference.
If he is really so stupid, how can he be the boss?
The key is that it was the general social environment that made him so greedy for profit that he did not miss any opportunity to make money by soliciting customers, and even forgot to consider Ning Weimin's mood.
You know, Japan's bubble economy has developed to this day and has completely entered a climax stage.
It is no exaggeration to say that from top to bottom, the Japanese today only have money in their eyes.
The superposition of various factors has led to the whole country of Japan joining in the speculative behavior. Historically, the entire society has been filled with an atmosphere of dissipation and wealth, and both men, women, and children are doing their best to chase money.
There are very few people who can remain completely unaffected and remain conscious while being in it.
If you don’t believe it, just look at the revolving restaurant at this time. Almost all the guests are dressed up and dressed up.
Designer leather bags and designer watches are must-haves for every man and woman. From the outside, no one looks like an ordinary person who relies on his salary to support his family.
The topics we talked about were all economic-centered and extremely tacky.
There is no doubt that real estate is of course a mainstream topic.
With the news of the start of construction of the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge, the related land has skyrocketed, causing housing prices in Tokyo to rise further.
The actual situation now is that there are fewer and fewer land plots with affordable prices. The land prices in Tokyo have reached prohibitive and terrifying figures. Ordinary office workers want to have a house of their own in Tokyo. Like wishful thinking.
It can even be said that the background of nationwide land speculation has created a kind of panic. If you don't buy now, you will be unable to afford it later, forcing people to pay all their wealth and be willing to take on loans for decades to buy a house in the suburbs far away from Tokyo. situation.
For this reason, even if I spend a few hours commuting to and from get off work every day, I still have no regrets.
So the boss of Aoyama Real Estate and Miyoko’s colleagues are very popular at today’s wedding banquet.
Even if Ning Weimin is no longer with them, they are still not alone or lonely. There are people who are willing to listen to the market and chat with them.
Especially for Yujiro Sakai’s colleagues who are of marriageable age in the insurance company, it is a natural fit.
They both cooperated with each other and were potential customers. The chat was extremely close and lively.
It looks like two companies holding an exchange meeting, or a business promotion meeting between two companies.
Even if Ning Weimin didn't want to listen, the real estate market and the rhetoric to persuade people to buy a house kept coming to his ears.
"...Young people, don't hesitate any longer. The price of the house Yujiro Sakai and Miyoko bought last year has now doubled. You should no longer have such unrealistic expectations. I thought, even I can’t buy a house like theirs at the same price. Take my advice, don’t be too expensive and buy it as soon as possible. Houses in Tokyo will continue to rise..."
"But you also said, President, Zuo Hai's house prices have doubled, how can we afford it? He can only afford to repay the bank loan as the team leader, we are just ordinary members. . My income is almost entirely based on commission, which is really unstable. Even if I want to find a bank loan, I’m afraid the bank won’t trust us and won’t lend us an excessive amount.”
"Oh, if you can't afford it in the city, just go to the suburbs. Adachi City is still very cheap now. The average price per square meter is 450,000 yen. Even with an annual income of 3.3 million yen and a house of more than 20 million yen, even if With a 10% down payment and a loan of eleven or twelve years, you can buy it. Besides, your insurance business should be easy to do now. Young people should have some ambition..."
" It's true that the price is not bad, but commuting will be painful. Even if you buy a car, parking fees will be a problem. This will not be solved at all. Although it will be said that you will have a house in Tokyo, it will actually be different from those who live in Kanagawa and Qi every day. What’s the difference between those who come to Shinjuku, Tokyo by Shinkansen from Jade, or even Utsunomiya? It’s too hard. To be honest, in comparison, the price of the house in “MyCar” makes me less stressed. It's small, but cars can't. I actually plan to buy a better car, such as a Mercedes-Benz, which costs about 4 million yen. Even if I don't drive it on weekdays, it will be very popular when I go out with girls on weekends... ..."
"Oh, young man, don't be confused. You'd better buy a house first. Why worry about a car? Speaking of transportation needs, doesn't your company have transportation expenses? Besides, the houses in Adachi are a little further away, but if you buy them, you don’t necessarily want to live in them yourself.”
“What do you mean by this? What are you here for? At least a car can improve my life..."
"You young people should be more flexible and think of buying a house as an investment. Of course, buying a house is more suitable than saving money. How much is it? On the other hand, if you borrow money from the bank, you can repay it easily. If you don’t live in it yourself, you can rent it out. In this case, you are asking someone else to pay the mortgage for you. You only need to pay a small extra fee to rent a smaller room near the company, and you will have a house of your own in a few years. Even if you never live in it, you will still make money after selling it. , maybe your house is worth 40 million. But how much is it worth if you buy a car, even if you buy a Mercedes-Benz or a Porsche?”
"Hey, President, what you say makes sense, then I will seriously consider it..."
"What else to consider? If I were you, I wouldn't dare to waste time like this. You have to know that housing prices are higher than Wages are rising fast. If you think about it for one more day, it may be hundreds of thousands of yen in economic losses. Well, if you buy a house through our company, I will introduce you to a few more customers and let you sell a few houses. Insurance and fire insurance, is this good?"
"Really? President, are you kidding me? If so, thank you so much..." Hearing this, Ning Wei Min didn't need to look at it to know that the cunning Qingshan Real Estate probably wouldn't come in vain today, at least he would bring back a few sales.
In addition, stocks are of course another focus of discussion at the scene.
What’s particularly interesting is that when everyone talks about the Japanese stock market, they almost all focus on the same stock, which is NTT, which was just listed in February this year.
NTT’s full name is Japan’s National Telephone Company. It was originally an old state-owned enterprise with a history of 115 years.
As long as it is a state-owned enterprise, it must have a series of problems such as closed monopoly and lack of ambition.
The current Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, under the general situation of "neoliberal economy", also hopes to follow the example of Europe and the United States and reform state-owned enterprises.
By the way, you can also use the listing to sell some stocks to cash out and reduce the government's deficit problem.
That's why the great "privatization reform" was proposed, aiming directly at Japan's three major state-owned enterprises-JR, JT, and NTT.
As for the three major iron roosters, JR Japan Railway has a huge debt of 37 trillion yen.
JT Japan sells exclusively and has the support of powerful left-wing trade union organizations.
These two companies are actually not very easy to handle.
So Nakasone Yasuhiro looked over and over, calculated over and over again, and it seems that NTT, you are the softest persimmon—then I’ll pinch you.
In this way, NTT, Japan Telecom and Telephone, took the lead in launching privatization reform and became the vanguard of privatization of state-owned enterprises.
In 1985, the privatization reform of Nippon Telephone (NTT) was launched.
After a series of privatization reform procedures, in 1986, NTT Corporation began to enter the securities market and publicly issue new shares.
Everyone knows that you can definitely make money by investing in new stocks, and when NTT shares were publicly issued, it was the period when low interest rates were accelerating bubbles.
So this news, coupled with the unprecedented good situation of the Japanese stock market, made the Japanese people who had never set foot in the stock market become excited when they heard it. Many people enthusiastically joined the "new army".
The Japanese government itself may not have expected that the people's enthusiasm would be so high that it would trigger a buying frenzy.
What should I do if there are too many people applying?
The Japanese government has proposed that "the stock market in the new era should give all citizens fair purchasing opportunities."
To put it simply, don't worry, everyone has a share.
Japanese residents can subscribe for one share with their "resident certificate", and the price of one share for public subscription is as high as 1.19 million yen
However, this "fair purchase opportunity" was also in short supply. There were too many people who wanted to subscribe, and the total number of subscriptions ended up being as high as 10.5 million people.
The Japanese amplitude had no choice but to use the old method of lottery.
The winning rate is one in ten people and one in three households.
Because the voucher for participating in the lottery is a resident card, and all Japanese have a resident card.
So the Japanese took the resident tickets of 90-year-olds and newborn babies and joined the lottery like crazy.
On the day when the results are announced, at the entrance of the securities store, you will see husbands or housewives who failed to grab the stocks secretly crying.
The "lucky ones" who successfully subscribed to NTT's new shares excitedly held a banquet, as if this new share subscription was really a sure profit.
Well, yes, facts have proven that this thing is really a "guaranteed profit without loss".
At least at first.
NTT, a state-owned enterprise, publicly issued new shares, which the Japanese likened to a "god coming to earth". The closing price on the first day after listing reached 1.6 million yen (February 9).
In this way, Japan's largest company with a market capitalization of approximately 25 trillion yen was born.
That’s not all. Just two months later, on April 2, NTT’s stock price reached a high of three million yen.
It actually increased by 200% in such a short period of time.
So, just like the huge success of "Hanwa", Japanese companies have madly involved in financial speculation and real estate speculation.
NTT has a similar principle. Presumably the social significance of this stock is far greater than its stock value.
It is NTT that leads Japanese people from financial bystanders to financial participants.
It is precisely because this universally held stock has soared this year that large numbers of Japanese who were originally indifferent to stocks continue to hear their relatives and friends around them talk about the myth of NTT and the usefulness of making money from stocks. After how simple it was, I slowly fell into speculating on stocks.
The social atmosphere of getting something without working is becoming more and more intense.
In addition, the general environment at that time was extremely conducive to the growth of the "bull market". The yen appreciated, traditional export revenue dropped sharply, and a large number of Japanese companies joined the financial speculation industry. The Japanese government implemented tax cuts and interest rates and invested huge funds. Stimulate the market.
This is more conducive to the trend of "national stock trading" growing like a snowball.
Just imagine that when we Chinese people face a "bull market" in the future, don't our friends and family around us also keep saying "make money from stocks, make money from stocks"?
The same is true in Japan in this era.
What’s even more coincidental is that Director Taniguchi’s family is one of the lucky innovators. The four stocks they own have now become 12 million yen.
So even though Ning Weimin came here to chat, Director Taniguchi and Mrs. Taniguchi couldn't help but turn the conversation to this stock.
Because they believed in Ning Weimin too much, they sincerely asked Ning Weimin for advice on how to operate this stock.
So Ning Weimin was at his wits end, knowing that he couldn't escape. Due to the face of his friend, while being happy for Director Taniguchi, he had no choice but to give directions to Director Taniguchi.
I suggested that since the profit is huge, it is better to sell it and settle down.
Unexpectedly, such a private conversation, on such an occasion, could actually cause trouble for him...
