Chapter 948 Snaku(1/2)

Going out to have fun and have fun every night is actually a huge burden on the body.

Even the rich second generation of multinational companies such as Toyota, Sumitomo, and Sanyo in Japan, few live like this.

But speaking of it, it’s really no wonder that Ning Weimin is corrupt, greedy and lustful, and unable to withstand the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism.

Because it is indeed necessary for work, and it is difficult to refuse such kindness.

You know, by the time the sales of trolley suitcases suddenly surged, there were already eight Yamato Sightseeing Travel branches visited by Ning Weimin.

Each of these families invites him one night a week. This is not enough time to arrange, and he is destined to be left out.

Especially now that goods are in tight supply, the branches that sold out the goods first are unable to replenish the goods.

The grassroots staff of the travel branch who have established a cooperative relationship with each other are anxious every day.

Not having a suitcase means losing money, and you also have to deal with the pressure from customers who have already ordered suitcases.

As a result, everyone became a crybaby, almost kneeling down and begging his boss to find a solution quickly.

The low-level information was passed from the team leader to the presidents of these branches, and they were also "under great pressure".

Every department president of a travel agency is afraid that Ning Weimin will forget about his branch and will have to call him in a few days to ask him to come back.

Isn’t that just an endless game of Solitaire?

This is the kind of treatment you get.

Don’t want to go? It’s okay if you don’t go, because that will offend people.

For example, on February 3rd, President Takahashi of the Yamato Tourism Branch in Meguro Ward called Ning Weimin's "Dadao Trading Company" for the third time.

If you are free in the evening, you must invite Ning Weimin to take time to come and have a meal.

President Takahashi is almost forty years old and has worked at Yamato Kanko for twenty years.

His temperament is a bit like that of Director Taniguchi with Mediterranean hair. He is a good gentleman.

When it comes to cooperation, it should be said that he is the person Ning Weimin feels the best to talk to. It was particularly satisfying to cooperate with Ning Weimin in the first place.

But precisely because his personality is too soft, he is more likely to suffer losses when doing things.

Therefore, President Takahashi, even though based on his seniority and his own qualifications, he should have been the president of the core area branch where there are more wealthy people, but he was actually assigned to the Meguro Ward Travel Branch, which is just one level behind.

Even when it came to inviting Ning Weimin to dinner, he was ranked behind others.

As the saying goes, there are only three things you can do.

Since Ning Weimin had already pushed him twice, even he felt that he couldn't bully an honest person this time.

So he reluctantly agreed.

For dinner, we went to a restaurant and ate kaiseki cuisine for 30,000 yen per person.

We chatted for a while at first, but in the end we just talked about when the trolley suitcase would arrive and how much we could give to the Meguro branch.

Regarding this issue, Ning Weimin repeatedly promised that he would never let President Takahashi down.

After he also said that the goods were not in place and he would never return to China for the Spring Festival, this kind gentleman felt relieved.

But even after eating, Ning Weimin couldn't go home. He had to find another place to have a round of drinks before leaving.

Otherwise, to the banquet guests, it would be as if the invitees were dissatisfied, which would inevitably make President Takahashi think too much.

The Japanese have elm-brained heads, so they have to follow the usual practice.

Their little hearts can't stand the slightest change in the process.

However, Ning Weimin also said hello in advance.

"President Takahashi, please forgive me for not being able to sit for a long time at night. I have many important things to do tomorrow. I can sit for another hour at most. Do you think that's okay?"

After President Takahashi nodded in agreement, he happily went to the "second meeting."

Under the familiar leadership of President Takahashi, they came to Roppongi and opened the door of a bar called "Dantes" in an alley.

I walked in and took a look. The space was not big, with only ten seats in front of a water bar.

It was clearly past eight o'clock in the evening, but it was still more than half empty.

Ning Weimin immediately knew that this was a "Snaku" with an ordinary business.

"Snaku" is called "スナック" in Japanese, which is the transliteration of English Snack, and its Chinese meaning is "snacks".

So literally speaking, this kind of place is a place for guests to eat and rest.

But in reality, it refers to a "small bar" that is not big, has karaoke, and has mamasang and waiters chatting and singing with guests.

If I had to find a specific example, it would be in the movie "If You Are the One".

The shop where Ge You was seduced by a poster of the "Four Hokkaido Sisters" when they were young.

This small bar called "Snaku" is actually a special product that was born under the influence of the Olympic Games.

Because it first appeared around 1964 when Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games for the first time.

As a common practice when hosting international events, Japan also carried out a campaign to purify social atmosphere at that time and strictly controlled the late-night operation of liquor stores.

Since then, there have been stores that follow the American bar model, but in addition to alcohol, they also provide "light meals and snacks".

Because restaurants can open late at night, they can bypass legal restrictions and be able to stay open for a long time with this flexible form.

It should be said that "Snaku" that opened in the early days did exist purely as a "restaurant that served alcohol late at night."

The selling point is the variety of side dishes to go with wine, as well as services such as adding ice, water, and pouring wine for guests.

Mamasang and the waiter basically receive guests "face to face" across the bar, just like ordinary bartenders.

There is basically no situation of sitting next to guests to provide reception services.

To put it bluntly, the original "Snaku" was a place purely for chatting and relieving boredom.

When guests come, you can chat with Mama-san or the guests next to you, sit on a high stool with a small plate of snacks and drink, and you can do nothing else.

But then Japan entered the 1980s, and the economy and income further increased, and this kind of small bar could no longer meet the needs of wealthy people.

As a result, high-end "clubs" (クラブ) appeared in places such as Ikebukuro and Ginza.

The mothers and waiters of "Snaku" were forced by the harsh business competition to walk out of the bar and sit next to the customers.

And because of the emergence of karaoke, they have to provide some additional services than clubs - accompanying dancers.

As for the bars where Japanese men drink and have fun at night, there is also polarization.

Rich people go to "clubs" for 30,000 yen an hour.

If you have no money, go to "Snaku" for 3,000 yen an hour.

Of course, the "no money" mentioned here is also relative.

Because no matter what, "Snaku" also charges "seat fees" and is a place that pays attention to atmosphere.

A drink in a place like this often costs tens of thousands of yen.

To enjoy this kind of service where someone coaxes you and entertains you with sex, you must at least be a man with some status in the company, or a small business owner who is engaged in self-employment.

As for Japanese men in Tokyo, most married white-collar workers in companies only have one or two thousand yen as their daily pocket money.

After drinking, singing, and chatting, a week's pocket money is gone. Who wouldn't feel sad?

So the real places where ordinary people drink are pubs and izakayas, places that don’t charge for seats, and the amount is large.

In short, President Takahashi did not take Ning Weimin to the "club" in Ginza after the meal, but to this "Snaku", which is a practical approach that is very consistent with his status.

It can only be said that people don't like to make people look fat, but this cannot be regarded as a slight for gain.

As expected, Mama-san, a MILF in the store, smiled particularly kindly when she saw President Takahashi.

Very charming and charming, she came forward with all her beauty.

"Takahashi-san, you haven't been here for a long time. Have you been busy lately? I'm so happy to see you today. A warm welcome."

President Takahashi said with a smile, "Mama-san only misses me when business is bad, right?"

"Where is it?" Mama-san approached President Takahashi and whispered, "It's because I miss Takahashi-san so much that I have no time to take care of business and deal with other customers..."

Just by the way these two people smile happily, talk quietly and laugh loudly, you can tell that they are "old friends" at a glance.

Ning Weimin therefore concluded that this should be a place where President Takahashi often visited.

Sure enough, before Mamasang could say hello, President Takahashi took the initiative to introduce Ning Weimin.

"This is Minzi, the mamasang here. She has been in this store for more than ten years. It is also because of her that I have become a regular customer here. I have been drinking here for almost more than ten years."

Then I introduced Mama-san again.

"President Ning is the president of Dadao Trading Company and a very important customer of our company. Minzi, you must entertain me today."

Ning Weimin absolutely believed this, because although the Mamasang in front of him looked about forty years old, he should be about the same age as President Takahashi.

But her figure and skin are well maintained.

It can still be seen that she must have been a very beautiful woman when she was young.

It's not surprising that she can steal away Takahashi's soul and make him continue to spend all year round.
To be continued...
