In this life, there will be many self-contradictions.
Ning Weimin, for example, clearly knows that Japan's current speculative market still has a lot to offer.
If you devote all your resources and continue to focus on this market, you may soon become the richest man in the world.
But in order to prevent the tragic fate of "you have a life to make money but not a life to spend", Ning Weimin, who has just reached the top of the personal customer rankings, can only take it easy when all the stocks held under his name are still rising across the board.
receive.
Several months before "Black Monday", I had to reluctantly instruct my stockbroker Kenichi Sagawa to reduce most of his stock holdings on the grounds of business needs and overseas mergers and acquisitions.
He also tried every means to transfer part of the proceeds from Japan to overseas, together with the 5 billion yen re-mortgaged loan from Ebuntang Bookstore.
Another example is Ning Weimin, who obviously hates pretending to be Japanese.
If it is not necessary...for example, after bathing in a hot spring, he will never wear a kimono if he can only change into the kimono provided by the store.
And the last thing he wanted to do was leave such traces of clothing.
But nothing is absolute. This time he got married and held a wedding in front of a god in Japan.
However, he had to endure his hatred, go against his personal preferences, hold the wedding in kimono and take photos to satisfy Matsumoto Keiko's wish.
There is no way, no matter how great the grievance is, it is covered up by the word "love".
Speaking of which, at the beginning of his rebirth, Ning Weimin still fantasized about living a life of three wives and four concubines after becoming successful. How could he have a threesome, how could he spend money like water and spend money like water?
At that time, he never looked forward to any love, he only looked forward to getting a pair of twins with good looks and figures.
However, people's fate is so mysterious, and plans often fail to keep up with changes. Who let Lao Tianran let him know Qingzi?
Once he really met the right person, his soul, a vulgar and dirty person, was actually purified, and he decided to be a human being from then on, and no longer cared about any evil things.
Miraculously, seeing Qingzi's face, hearing Qingzi's voice, her every move, and her joys and sorrows all made him feel happy.
With her, not only does the world become endlessly joyful and colorful, but he also eats deliciously.
Then again, since all those depraved and dizzying desires, he was willing to give up for such a woman.
Why would he not want to take a picture of Keiko in kimono?
And thinking about it on the other hand, since Qingzi has sacrificed so much for herself, it is natural for her to sacrifice a little.
Love cannot be given unilaterally. Anyway, Sun Dapao, Zhou Dawei and Jianhu Heroine have all worn it, so they probably won't be regarded as traitors.
Forget it, let’s leave it at that…
In this way, on Saturday, May 2, 1987, Ning Weimin cooperated unconditionally and held a Japanese-style wedding with Qingzi in front of the gods.
It should be said that this wedding was very different from the Western-style wedding they were going to hold at the Okura Hotel in Tokyo the next day.
The wedding on May 3 is not only a grand and extravagant wedding banquet, but it is also public and will entertain thousands of guests and media reporters.
However, this wedding is limited to family members and the couple's closest friends. It is an extremely private and solemn wedding ceremony.
The only relatives of Keiko Matsumoto's participants are her parents and uncle.
The elders who are not related by blood include the homeroom teacher in middle school, and the career fathers—President Okimoto of Shochiku Pictures and director Nomura Yoshitaro of "Li Xianglan".
There is also the "Oshima Shigeru" that the Chinese are familiar with, Yamaguchi Momoe's emotional father - Utsui Ken.
Because she was Matsumoto Keiko's senior at Daiei Company, this old actor with reliable character used to take good care of her. Although the two did not cooperate much, they had a good personal relationship, so this time Utsui Ken also received
Invite to come and watch the ceremony.
In addition, Matsumoto Keiko also invited several close friends in the industry to attend the wedding.
There are Atsumi Kiyoshi, Baishou Chieko, who works under Shochiku, and the actress Ryoko Ishida, who just won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
As for Ning Weimin, because it was not his home court, even fewer people attended.
He has only one relative, his cheap cousin Shen Cun who flew all the way from the capital for him.
He only has three friends, one is Teresa Teng, the Asian singer with whom he has a bad temper, and Minoru Funaki, the president of Taurus Palace, and the other is Yao Peifang, who was temporarily captured by him to make money.
Of course, this does not mean that Ning Weimin's popularity is really so bad. He has no friends who are closer than these people in Japan to invite.
It doesn't mean that he doesn't regard Axia, Maria, the Kagawa sisters, and the Taniguchi family as friends in his heart.
In fact, the key is that the location where they hold the Japanese wedding is also very special.
Because it is not in Tokyo, but at Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, more than 300 kilometers away from Tokyo.
According to Keiko, after she came here on her high school graduation trip, she thought that one day her wedding would be held here.
Now that she finally met the person she entrusted her life to, she naturally wanted to come to Itsukushima Shrine to fulfill her wish.
In this way, not only does this wedding have a more necessary meaning, but the objective conditions also allow only a few people to participate in this wedding.
After all, if you want to attend the wedding, all the guests have to fly from Tokyo to Hiroshima, which is really troublesome.
Among all the guests, Yao Peifang is slightly closer from Osaka.
Ning Weimin thought about it from another perspective. He was really embarrassed to disturb everyone and disrupt so many people's normal life and work arrangements.
So for everyone else, it would be best to go back to Tokyo the next day and meet at the Western-style wedding ceremony at Hotel Okura.
Anyway, no matter what, the wedding held at Itsukushima Shrine was low-key and not very noisy, but it was successfully held.
First of all, the place is far away, but it’s really nice.
Miyajima is a small place, rich in oysters and deer. Apart from a shrine, it is a commercial street.
But the shrine here has a long history. It was founded in 593 AD, which has a history of 1,400 years. It is the headquarters of the other 500 Itsukushima shrines in Japan.
The three main goddesses of Munakata are worshiped here - Tianxin Hime, Ichikishima Hime, and Tsutsumi Hime.
Therefore, this place has been considered as a spiritual island where the goddess lives since ancient times, and has gradually become the center of Japanese Shinto belief.
Moreover, Itsukushima Shrine is built on the beach of the Seto Inland Sea.
When the tide rises, the blue water rises under the shrine bridge, and the entire shrine miraculously becomes a "building in the lake."
In addition to the large torii gate standing in the sea in front of the shrine, "Miyajima's beautiful scenery" is called "Japan's three most beautiful scenery" together with Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture and Amanohashidate in Kyoto Prefecture.
To be honest, Ning Weimin didn't have much expectations at first.
But when he arrived here, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
I wonder if my wife is really good at choosing places and would choose such a wonderful place as her wedding venue.
Among the several guests, whether it was Ryoko Ishida who was having trouble with her marriage or Teresa Teng who hated getting married, they were even more excited by the scenery here from the bottom of their hearts.
Before the guests could speak, as soon as they met, the two people expressed their blessings with envy.
One said, "You are so lucky to get married at a shrine like this. The goddesses will definitely protect your marriage and the beautiful Keiko..."
Another said, "Where can there be such people? They call people all the way here just to show off their happiness. The key is... Hey, why did you choose to get married here? You are so happy. Please think about it for a moment. How do others feel? I envy you so much..."
Secondly, it is worth mentioning that Japan’s wedding industry is also quite mature and developed.
Because these days, wedding services in Japan are a very profitable business.
A reporter from NHK TV station revealed after investigation that the current average cost of a complete wedding ceremony in Japan is about 6 million yen.
Therefore, even places like Itsukushima Shrine have specially cooperated wedding companies to organize the wedding.
Ning Weimin and the others must have spent enough money on today's wedding, so they just had to follow the arrangements when they got here, and everything was arranged properly.
Specifically, the wedding company not only invited the shrine's priest to personally host the wedding ceremony for the couple, but also arranged for a makeup artist and prepared a waiting space for relatives to rest.
Considering that it was inconvenient for the newcomers to change their clothes, several people were specially arranged to help them change their clothes.
The photographers and assistants in the photo studio are even more ready, waiting for the newlyweds to change into their wedding attire and take a number of photos of the two of them in beautiful places as "wedding commemorative photos."
But speaking of it, although Japanese photographers are superb, the photos they take have extremely exquisite combinations of light, shadow, and objects, which are breathtaking.
But it seems that Japanese photographers and my country’s infamous “art photos” in the future are actually nothing new.
To put it bluntly, it's all a routine.
What kind of umbrella should be lifted and which hand should be lifted have long been standardized, and it is easy to shoot with ease.
If there is any difference, it is that the Japanese do take photos at the wedding scene, and they are indeed photos of real weddings, and the prices are more expensive.
Usually, the starting price for a package of seven or eight photos is 100,000 yen.
Every time you choose one more photo, the price will change by more than 20,000 yen. If you want to take a decent photo, it is 300,000 yen, it is 500,000 yen, and even a million yen photo can be taken for you.
.
Of course there are cheaper ones too. The price is 25,000 yen, which is the lowest price. After all, it only costs over 1,000 yuan.
But, hey, there is only one photo...
In short, the wedding company's attentive service is quite impressive, and at least it improves the efficiency of the work.
In particular, traditional bridal makeup and dressing are time-consuming and laborious, and can take several hours. Removing makeup takes even longer, and the burden is by no means easy.
You should know that the best time for weddings held at Itsukushima Shrine is at high tide, which symbolizes the consummation of the couple's love and climax.
If you miss it, it will be as disgusting as when Chinese people get married after noon and miss the auspicious time of the zodiac.
If it weren't for the group of old women at the shrine who are good at this, no matter whether you are square or round, you can tidy up the bride neatly with just a few clicks.
Depending on their abilities, it is impossible for a newlywed couple to catch the auspicious moment of the high tide in time.
And unlike Ning Weimin, who was wearing a black kimono called a "monori haori", he looked like a fish seller, so there was really nothing to praise.
To get another fan is like having your head shaved.
The bride's outfit is indeed quite eye-catching, very special and very beautiful.
Japanese brides wear a two-color kimono with red edges and a white background, and a white hat. Under the tall hat, only a beautiful face is exposed, looking very dignified and holy.
To be honest, the white hood on the bride's head looks a bit like a wedding dress.
Especially in the process of entering the shrine, when Keiko held up a red umbrella in her hand, it seemed to bring ancient romance.
If the surrounding environment hadn't reminded Ning Weimin that this was a real ceremony, he would have thought it was a movie.
Keiko's style is worthy of being called "Fuso Flower Marriage", a name that makes people imagine.
Later, Ning Weimin asked Qingzi specifically and found out that as a bride, she was very particular about her appearance today, and there were many secrets in it.
The white cloak on the head, called the horn, reminds the bride not to lose her temper when she arrives at her new home, and to hide her "horns" even if she has them.
It turns out that Japanese tradition does not use the allusion of the lion's roar in the east of the river to describe a wild woman, but the white wedding hat that the woman has "horns on her head".
It means that the bride, no matter how unruly she usually is, must tuck her fox tail between her legs during the wedding, look docile and dignified, and cover her horns, hence the name Kakugakure.
This kind of headdress is traditionally made of white silk, and sometimes it is also lined with red silk, giving it a more festive feel.
This kind of clothing comes from the Edo period. It is said that the custom was different at that time. It was the children who ran behind the bride and shouted "hide your horns".
Later, I felt it was really indecent, so I changed my habit of simply using this kind of hat to hide my "horns" before getting married.
As for the white clothes on Qingzi's body, they are called "Bai Wugu", which sounds like a quite poetic name.
However, contrary to Ning Weimin's understanding, this does not mean that the bride is pure and pure.
Rather, it means that when the bride arrives at her new home, she is just a blank piece of paper.
It means that from now on, everything about the bride must start from scratch, so that "Bai Wugu" can be "dyed with the same color as her husband's family style".
To put it bluntly, as our Chinese people often say, only by starting from scratch can you draw the most beautiful and best picture on a blank piece of paper.
Think about it, Japanese brides actually wear horns. How does this sound like the story from "Liao Zhai"?
Doesn't this just make the bride a fairy?
Give back my family tradition...including Master, isn't our background the color of money?
Could it be that such an elegant and beautiful Qingzi would turn into a penny-pincher who spends every penny wisely?
This... is completely unimaginable... Could it be that the common topic of the couple in the future is to take stock together?
