Since he has two assistants, Director Taniguchi and Rinko Kagawa, Ning Weimin is like a duck in water in Tokyo. There is no longer the constraint of being unfamiliar with the place, and many problems can be easily solved.
Apart from anything else, just because Taniguchi has bought a house in Tokyo and owns a private residence, and is an aborigine who has a family and business and has lived here for more than 20 years, it is very useful.
First of all, Ning Weimin could directly use Taniguchi's address and phone number to complete his personal login without having to trouble Supervisor Ishikawa.
So not long ago, in Kagawa Rinko's view, the resident registration problem that seemed to be urgent and was counting down all the time was immediately no longer a problem.
Once the resident registration procedures are completed, national health insurance, business follow-up procedures and bank account opening can all be completed in order, and we can proceed.
In addition, the matter of opening a bank account really depends on Director Taniguchi to solve it smoothly.
Because of the practical difficulties encountered in this step, even Ning Weimin could not foresee it in advance and almost went blind.
I have a pity for Japan's financial policy. It is not ordinary rigid, it is extremely rigid and extremely unreasonable.
Even if foreigners enter Japan for business activities, they need to stay in Japan for six months before they can open an account at a major bank like Mitsui and Mitsubishi.
Therefore, if foreigners who have just arrived in Japan want to set up a business locally, it is difficult to even open a bank account. The only option is to open an account at Japan Post Bank.
But the problem came again. International transfers could not be made from Postal Bank accounts within six months.
It would be difficult for Ning Weimin to continue to receive domestic payments during this period.
Fortunately, Director Taniguchi was there, so Ning Weimin came up with an idea. He signed a temporary shareholder agreement with him for one person's shareholding, and went to the Legal Affairs Bureau to register.
Then he used his aboriginal identity to open a bank account for Ning Weimin to temporarily use as a company account, and then went to the Legal Affairs Bureau to delete his shareholder status.
Fortunately, after going through such a big circle, this matter was solved perfectly.
In addition, the usage of bank cards in Japan is so simple, which Ning Weimin also never expected.
He originally thought that the magnetic cards of Japanese banks were the same as those of domestic banks after the 1990s.
You only need to apply for one card to realize all basic functions.
But the reality is very basic. Even though Japan has entered the era of magnetic cards so early, debit cards, stored-value cards and passbooks are actually separated.
In other words, a stored-value card can only deposit, withdraw and transfer money but cannot spend it.
On the other hand, if you want to use a debit card to make purchases, you must store the money in a stored-value card or passbook.
And you must have a passbook, there is no need to apply for a magnetic card separately.
Thanks to Director Taniguchi’s reminder, Ning Weimin didn’t make such a stupid mistake.
Otherwise, if he really did this, he would at least have to run back and forth again.
If you add the waiting time, it will be very disgusting.
Finally, Director Taniguchi’s understanding of Tokyo’s legal and tax industry also played an important role.
At least he knows which law firms and commercial tax accounting firms are reliable, experienced, and charge reasonable fees.
Ning Weimin relied on his experience to choose a reputable firm to serve him, so that he would not fall into legal and tax difficulties, and it would also be beneficial to the renewal of his visa after three years.
Otherwise, if there is no legal and tax backup that can relieve him of his worries, he will never have peace of mind no matter how much money he makes in Japan in the future.
As for Kagawa Rinko, she is not a transparent person with no sense of existence.
She is thorough, careful and responsible. For Ning Weimin, the help she provides is comprehensive.
First of all, in terms of life, the B&B that Ning Weimin temporarily moved into was found by Kagawa Rinko.
A kitchen and laundry are shared with others, but there is a ten-seat small single room with an independent bathroom.
The location hasn't moved too far, it's in a residential neighborhood near Shinjuku, still in the city center.
Moreover, it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle and includes a breakfast every day.
There are many stations around, and it is less than 400 meters away from Higashi-Shinjuku Subway Station. It is very convenient to walk to Shinjuku's bustling business district and Kabukicho Street.
The key is that the price is affordable.
Although it is summer vacation and the Bon Festival has just passed, it is the peak tourism season in Japan and hotel prices are at their highest.
But considering that Ning Weimin will have to stay for at least ten days and a half, and maybe even a whole month,
So Kagawa Rinko negotiated a relatively favorable price for him with the proprietress, 5,200 yen per day.
Compared with the hotel accommodation fee in the same area and under the same conditions, which is easily 7,000 to 8,000 yen per day, it is very cheap and extremely cost-effective.
Ning Weimin could hardly believe it.
At the same time, Rinko Kagawa used the unique patience and carefulness of women to teach Ning Weimin the correct way to live alone in Tokyo.
For example, how to eat sushi, how to dispose of garbage, when supermarkets have big sales, and how to cook by yourself.
If you go out to eat at a restaurant, how do you differentiate between high and low prices?
Clothes cannot be hung on the balcony, so you have to get used to using the dryer. When bathing, you must wash your body first before soaking in the pool water. If you buy a pager, you must turn on the vibration but not the ringtone... and so on.
The details of these trivial matters in life, the issues that need attention, basically everything that can be thought of has been thought of for him.
Even how to deal with typhoons, how to deal with earthquakes, various hazard countermeasures and the location of shelters-these contents that should be trained by the Japanese government for foreigners, she also gave Ning Weimin guidance on her behalf.
She even personally accompanied Ning Weimin to several flea markets, using her bargaining skills as a woman to help him bargain and buy bicycles, daily clothes, and some things that Ning Weimin liked.
To put it bluntly, he was just like a serious and responsible personal butler and tour guide, helping Ning Weimin avoid pitfalls and save money in life.
At the same time, Kagawa Rinko also acted as a confidential secretary and clerk in handling many procedures, helping Ning Weimin a lot.
Her importance is actually no less than that of Director Taniguchi.
You know, no matter where Ning Weimin goes to go through the formalities, there are many forms to fill out.
This is the most troublesome thing for foreigners.
Although Ning Weimin's spoken language is passable and he has no problem writing Chinese characters, he is not Japanese after all.
Filling out this form is as difficult as going through the Japanese Standard Test.
Thanks to Rinko Kagawa who helped him fill it out, he was able to ask him tirelessly about the key points, check them carefully with him one by one, and communicate with the staff on his behalf.
Otherwise, relying solely on Ning Weimin’s own Japanese proficiency, I really don’t know how to get through these layers of language barriers.
Even if he managed to get through, he would definitely be exhausted and leave behind painful memories that he couldn't bear to look back on.
In short, Ning Weimin is truly blessed to have these two people serving him wholeheartedly.
Compared with other foreigners who came to Japan, he was able to adapt to the lifestyle of a foreign country so quickly and mastered the know-how of life in Tokyo. These two assistants who assisted him played a major role.
Especially in this era when computers are not yet common for office work, he completed all the legal procedures for living and doing business in Japan in just eight or nine days, and also had local bank accounts for personal use and company transfers. It can really be said that he completed it at the speed of light.
What a miracle.
Not to mention, as he became more familiar with Taniguchi and Kagawa, Ning Weimin also extracted a lot of important information about Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd. from them.
Not only did he know the general operating conditions of the Japanese branch, but he also knew that the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates in Japanese companies was extremely strict. He also knew about the private complaints and misery of ordinary members, and he also understood the development and management history of Japanese companies.
and factional struggles at the top.
He noticed that although President Hidehiro Hasegawa, who was enjoying the Bon Festival holiday in his hometown, and Vice President Tadao Takada, who was currently staying in Tokyo, were both trusted by the master, there were also serious problems because of their different interests.
of conflicts.
It is a relationship where both are dissatisfied with the division of interests and are wary of each other and check and balance each other.
Therefore, I reflect carefully on the kindness shown to me by Vice President Takada and Supervisor Ishikawa before and after my visit to Tokyo.
It is not difficult for Ning Weimin to guess that the reason why these two people extended an olive branch to Huaxia Company was to strengthen their voice in management, and in this way they wanted to gain more power over the operations of Japanese companies.
In an attempt to overwhelm the president's group.
His bolder guess was that neither he nor Huaxia Company had been involved in the power struggle of the Japanese branch to some extent, and had become pawns that Takada and Ishikawa wanted to place on the chessboard to attack the president.
.
That means that I will most likely be targeted and hostile by the president and others in the future, and my cooperation negotiations with Japanese companies on behalf of Huaxia Company may not go smoothly.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't expect that he is really popular and everyone can like him.
He doesn't mind being used and schemed against by others.
Anyway, if you don’t have any profit, you can’t afford it early. In this case, you have already received benefits. Otherwise, how could coming to Tokyo be so smooth?
From now on, all we have to do is strive for Huaxia Company to gain enough benefits, and there is no need to think too much about other things.
What's more, God is on his side, and a thunderous disaster is being prepared for these Japanese devils.
Not to mention Japanese companies, no one in the entire country of Japan could have imagined that in a few years their entire country would go from prosperity to decline, encountering a hurdle that was almost impossible to overcome.
Takada and Ishikawa would never have imagined that they would lead a wolf into the house, and what kind of trouble would they cause?
If they find that the chess piece being used by them is always thinking about taking advantage of the general trend to annex their company, they will probably regret it and vomit blood, right?
After all, as the old saying goes, when the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman will benefit. Whoever laughs last will laugh best.
I have plenty of time, so let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, and walk slowly.
Of course, then again, since he had gained so many benefits from Taniguchi and Xiangchuan, Ning Weimin, who was already good at getting along with others, naturally treated them more and more kindly.
Repaying kindness with kindness is an obvious principle.
On the other hand, from the perspective of the dark side of psychology, even if we do not expect them to play a key role in the future, as long as we can maintain a good relationship, it is not bad to always understand the internal situation of Pierre Cardon Japan Co., Ltd. from their mouths.
After all, it is an efficient channel for obtaining information. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
So Ning Weimin gave full play to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation: sweet talk, kindness, and generous hands.
On the one hand, I heard about good things, and on the other hand, I invited them to dinner every day, gave them gifts, and gave me small favors.
Think about it, in comparison, Japanese bosses generally regard their subordinates as slaves. Japanese colleagues even eat on a standard basis, and when they have a drink after get off work, they talk about their grievances and flatter their bosses. .
Then don't Taniguchi and Kagawa think Ning Weimin's character is valuable?
Especially after their recent contact, they gradually discovered that there were many differences in Ning Weimin.
For example, when they reported to the embassy, Xiangchuan discovered that they were actually received by the minister-counsellor in person.
While going through various formalities, Taniguchi also noticed that Ning Weimin's personal seal was actually carved from extremely expensive Tianhuang stone.
Although he didn't know exactly what kind of stone it was, he knew it was worth a lot from the color and smoothness.
This undoubtedly shows that this young man who loves buying second-hand goods is by no means an ordinary person like them, but a truly important person with a great background.
They became more and more moved by Ning Weimin's approachability and never put on airs.
He is humorous and likes to chat, and is full of intimacy.
On the contrary, I never thought that his behavior of caring about money was because he knew that his country was too poor and was deeply aware of the suffering of the people. This self-disciplined behavior was worthy of admiration, not because he could not afford to spend money.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the exaggerated fact that he gave two people watermelon to relieve the heat, and why each person gave a whole watermelon.
You know, in Japan, watermelon is a luxury product that is famously expensive!
What's more, what Ning Weimin gave them was a black watermelon worth 8,000 yen each!
How many people in Japan are so lucky to receive such a gift and enjoy the freedom of eating watermelon?
Even their family members are so happy that they can't believe it, and they seem to have become addicted to being rich because of this.
This Chinese man is simply too polite and friendly.
As a result, Director Taniguchi not only improved family relations with the watermelon he took home.
He also finished his wife's work and decided to host a banquet for Ning Weimin and Kagawa Rinko at home.
Whether it is as a successful ending to say goodbye to each other, or as a return of courtesy and emotional connection.
He thinks they are all necessary.
After Kagawa Rinko hesitated for a long time, she finally overcame her psychological barrier and decided to help her sister.
He honestly told Ning Weimin about Ning Weimin's property purchase information that he had disclosed to his sister without permission.
While expressing her apology, she also said that if possible, she hoped that Ning Weimin could also give her sister Miyoko Kagawa a chance to compete fairly.
Because although her sister has just entered the industry and has little experience, her company is a very formal real estate agency.
Moreover, the boss himself happens to have a friend who is eager to sell real estate in Ginza.
It seems to be a perfect fit for Ning Weimin to open a restaurant, and the price is very suitable.
Naturally, Ning Weimin would not blame him for this. Instead, he thought that Kagawa Rinko was so honest that it was a bit pitiful, and he was quite sympathetic.
How can I say that this Japanese girl is so good? She can be so innocent!
