If we look at Japanese society in 1987 from Ning Weimin's perspective, this period can only be described with the word "carnival."
In the affluent and relaxed economic environment, most industries in Japan have entered a period of abnormal prosperity and dividends.
This is true for the entertainment industry, this is true for the publishing industry, and even more so for the emerging video game industry.
It's just that the cultural industry in the 1980s became more and more tacky.
Idol culture and adult images, the rise of adult magazines and adult comics.
Late-night entertainment variety shows, the craze of comedians, "tunnel duo"ism, and the bosozoku phenomenon.
All this fully illustrates this point.
The clothing industry is like this, the catering industry is like this, electronic products and automobile manufacturing are like this, and the retail department store industry is like this.
It's just that because of the appreciation of the yen, imported products have suddenly become cheaper and more diverse, making them more popular, further squeezing the domestic share of Japan's manufacturing industry.
As for Ning Weimin, his businesses, even stores like Huiwentang Bookstore, which he originally had no high expectations for, have become important and profitable.
Then you can imagine how other industries are booming.
For example, although trolley suitcases have been sold to Japanese companies for patent licensing, they are no longer a completely monopolized business.
However, due to the alliance between Daito Trading Co., Ltd. and Yamato Kanko, and the strong demand for travel, the number of Japanese traveling abroad this year has increased from 5.5 million to 9.6 million.
Taito Trading Co., which took advantage of the situation, shipped directly from Yamato GG's sales department, and its sales continued to increase.
Now there are many repeat customers who place orders directly through Yamato Kanko.
In particular, in order to compete for customers, Yamato Kanko has frequently appeared on TV screens recently, and the image of Keiko Matsumoto enjoying a relaxing trip while pulling a trolley suitcase has spread to thousands of households.
The three brands of Pierre Cardon, Goldlion and Easy Ladder exported to Japan are already quite famous, and these trolley cases are becoming more and more popular among customers.
It is a pity that domestic production capacity cannot take advantage of the victory and effectively expand it.
Although the OEM factory Ning Weimin found is already expanding its efforts, it will take time to increase production while ensuring quality.
Ning Weimin, who had no experience in industrial production, was helpless in facing this situation.
To put it bluntly, he only knows how to market, and he can’t help much with how to improve production capacity and efficiency in physical manufacturing. So he can only miss the opportunity and let the trolley suitcases produced by other Japanese companies share the market dividends.
In this case, it is of course meaningless to talk about market share.
The only advantage is peace of mind.
Ning Weimin doesn't have to worry about anything at all, Dadao Trading Company can run in an orderly manner and make money for the future.
Although he also knew that this good life was only temporary and could not last forever.
But then again, after all, there are specialties in the art industry.
He was not a person engaged in industrial production, and he never intended to make this his main business.
Since there are more opportunities to make easier money in Japan, why is he still struggling?
When it's time to let go, let it go and do something you like to do.
If you suffer a little loss, just suffer a little loss. One person cannot take advantage of all the advantages in the world.
Yes, if we look at the situation of Ning Weimin's other industries.
Everyone has to say that it would be pure hypocrisy for him to be unhappy about such a small thing.
It is inevitable that Tan Gong Restaurant's business will be booming.
Now Tan Gong Restaurant no longer has to worry about not having enough customers, but it has to worry about being overwhelmed.
If this were not the case, Ning Weimin would not even think about opening a branch.
Even Chixia Club’s profits have doubled now.
Those Japanese who have enough money in their pockets frequent bustling restaurants, bars and entertainment venues at night, and are particularly generous when spending tens of thousands of yen bills.
As casually as throwing away the napkins you wiped your nose with.
Maria has now expanded the net profit of Akaka Club from less than 30 million yen to 60 million yen every month.
Ning Weimin didn't come back for more than two months, but when he came back, he got a dividend of 20 million yen. How beautiful is this?
What Maria is worried about right now is that the original business area of Chixia Club is too small.
She was thinking about which of the two shops around her had the worst business and whether it might be swallowed up by her.
But to be honest, among all the industries currently, the one that brings the most benefits to Ning Weimin is the parking lot business that he is optimistic about.
You know, compared with when Ning Weimin and Axia first established Chixia Parking Lot Co., Ltd. last year, this company has now become a pig in the spotlight.
Both business income and the number and scale of real estate owned are not what they used to be, and the value is rising with the wind.
First of all, it is well known that real estate in Tokyo, Japan, has skyrocketed this year, and the economic data with an average increase of 85% has set a historical record.
Ning Weimin not only invested a lot of money decisively in purchasing the parking lot from the beginning, but also bought it at a relatively low price. He also used full leverage to buy a property like crazy using a loan arbitrage model.
As a result, he became a fat man in one bite.
He invested more than 18 billion yen with the principal and loans. Now, with the skyrocketing land prices in Tokyo this year, Tokyo's land resources are becoming increasingly tight. The originally undervalued parking lot land has almost equaled the price of ordinary land.
For Ning Weimin, that is an average increase of 12%, so his current real estate value has reached about 40 billion.
Under the name of their joint venture, there are a total of more than 40 parking lots of various sizes, with a total area of 86,000 square meters and a total of 3,011 parking spaces.
No matter how you look at it, this is a considerable fortune.
Moreover, the value of the land continues to increase. Ning Weimin is optimistic that the asset value of these real estate properties will exceed 100 billion yen next year.
For this reason, both his partner Axia and Maria, who participated in a small share, were ecstatic.
I am particularly fortunate that Ning Weimin made the decision, fully grasped the best investment opportunity, and bought at a relatively low point.
Secondly, parking fees in Tokyo, Japan, are high due to high population density, developed transportation, and extremely limited land resources.
Nowadays, coupled with the economic bubble, many people are making money easily.
Not only are the number of people buying luxury cars increasing day by day, but parking fees that were once unaffordable for ordinary people seem to be less unacceptable now.
Especially as more and more people spend tens of thousands of yen to take taxis every night, traveling by private car has now become a cost-effective behavior.
I feel bad about the parking fee.
After all, no matter how expensive the parking fee is, it is not as expensive as taking a taxi. The key is that there are fewer people returning and returning the taxi, and it is inconvenient to call for a taxi. You may not know how long you have to wait before you can get one.
To put it bluntly, the economic constraints that had been restricting private car travel to ensure that Tokyo's roads were not congested no longer exist.
Moreover, with the coming of summer vacation, many families also need to travel together, so the number of private cars on the streets of Tokyo has skyrocketed.
Not only has the traffic situation deteriorated rapidly, the already scarce parking space has further revealed its scarcity.
Under such circumstances, even the rich no longer have a sense of superiority. How can parking fees not be increased?
In Tokyo, it would cost only 60,000 to 70,000 yen per month to rent a parking space in the city center.
In urban fringe areas, it costs 20,000 to 30,000 yen per month.
In central Tokyo, the price of one-hour parking at popular parking lots is basically 2,500 yen.
In urban fringe areas, the cheapest one hour is 200 yen.
But these prices are no longer available now. A monthly parking space in the city center can cost as much as 100,000 to 150,000 yen.
In marginal areas, the salary has also risen to 40,000 to 50,000 yen, which is at least one-fifth of a white-collar worker's monthly income.
Parking fees are even more expensive, with the hourly parking fee at popular parking lots in the city center rising to 3,300 yen.
On the edge of the city, two hundred yen turned into four hundred yen in an hour.
The key is that the parking rate is still high. The parking rate in the parking lot with the worst business is as high as 70%.
Parking lots in the city center are almost 100% occupied, and some are even overloaded.
So Axia played another cruel trick.
She simply canceled the monthly subscription of parking spaces in a parking lot in a popular area in the city center, and also canceled the overnight discount for parking all night, and changed everything to hourly charges.
It's just that the popular time periods and unpopular time periods are divided into different pricing bases.
This was a big win all of a sudden, judging from the parking lot in Shinjuku where Maria also invested 300 million yen.
The current charging standard is 1,200 yen per hour from 2 am to 7 am.
Three thousand three hundred yen per hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
2,800 yen per hour from 7pm to 2am.
Although the parking rate has decreased as a result, it has suddenly dropped from 98% to about 80%.
But I can’t stand the high unit price, and there are only fewer cars parked at night, so it’s basically not affected during the day.
Therefore, on average, one parking space can earn 30,000 to 40,000 yen per day, and the operating income is completely rising.
Now every month, just from the 180 parking spaces here, the parking fee revenue can reach 180 million yen. Is this business still small?
It can equal the profits of three Chixia clubs.
And the value of this parking lot has further increased as a result.
Originally bought for a total of 1.5 billion yen, it is now worth 4.0 billion yen.
In other words, from Maria's personal point of view, the investment she originally participated in for nothing has achieved an asset appreciation of 500 million, and she still has a lot of cash profits every month.
For her, it's just perfect.
This is why she can continue to take care of the Chixia Club with peace of mind, and still pays the profit every month, but does not open a store of her own.
This is nothing. If you look at the entire Akaka Parking Lot Co., Ltd., you will find that there are four parking lots that can meet charging standards of this level, with a total of 622 parking spaces.
The income from these core areas alone is 600 million yen per month.
In addition, the club also has 893 parking spaces in 18 non-core areas with an average income of 18,000 yen per parking space, creating a revenue of 450 million yen.
In addition, there are 23, 1,396 remote suburban parking spaces with an average income of 5,000 yen per parking space, creating revenue of 180 million yen.
In other words, the net income of Akasha Parking Lot Co., Ltd. has reached 1.2 billion yen every month.
The only drawback is that the tax rate in the parking lot industry is also high. The more you earn, the more tax you pay to the Japanese government.
This 1.2 billion yen income does not have any tax preferential treatment or care. If the taxes are paid honestly, the Japanese government can exploit less than half of it.
Otherwise, the parking lot business is really almost perfect, and the income is much higher than other types of properties.
As a result, Axia had to resort to declaring communication costs and transferring profits through fictitious temporary workers in order to offset part of the tax.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin manages many industries, so he can come up with many solutions.
When I came back this time, it was very simple after I understood Axia’s tax problem.
He immediately signed several short contracts with Axia, and offset the profits in the name of gift expenses by "purchasing" products from Dadao Trading Company and Huiwentang Bookstore's Chinese handicrafts.
Those are all imported from China.
Ning Weimin has always had the final say on the quantity and cost, and the Japanese can't see anything wrong with it.
Not to mention, Ning Weimin also asked Axia and Maria to "sponsor" Matsumoto Keiko's upcoming TV series "The Black Leather Notebook" and "invest" in the movie "Crazy Rich Asians". Of course, the signing
They are all "unequal treaties".
This is even more reasonable and legal, and has been proven to be a safe "money laundering routine" by European and American countries.
In this way, the profit of up to 600 million yen was easily offset.
In this way, Ning Weimin and Axia finally adopted this method.
We only gave up after successfully reducing the tax rate of Akaka Parking Lot Co., Ltd. to 15%.
In this day and age, the Japanese government still wants to exploit them?
Just because they are a bunch of drunkards, secretly giving and receiving, and corrupt people.
Grandma, if you want to eat shit.
If it wasn't for safety reasons and I didn't want to go too far, I wouldn't have to give them even one yen.
But then again, even in the best of times and the best society, there are always industries that eat chaffy vegetables, and there are dark corners where the sun doesn't shine.
In addition to the difficulties faced by the physical manufacturing industry in Japan today, banks are also celebrating the Chinese New Year, with each year getting worse.
Financial market-oriented reforms have greatly boosted Japan's financial industry. Securities companies, insurance companies, and trust companies have all made huge profits.
However, the open bond market and the Japanese yen's policy of continuously cutting interest rates have given the banking industry, the traditional financial hegemon, a double blow.
Nowadays, it is much more cost-effective for large Japanese companies to raise funds by issuing bonds than seeking bank loans. This operation has immediately made life difficult for banks.
However, the Bank of Japan also provides window guidance and gives major banks rigid loan quotas, forcing banks to complete their loan tasks.
So now banks are forced to have no choice but to take the initiative to lower their lending standards.
In this way, a strange phenomenon that is rare in financial history occurred in Japan.
Just to find loan targets, the executives of banks that used to be high-ranking and affiliated with large consortiums have become humble, and they will not hesitate to kneel down and kowtow to thank those who took money from them.
This not only led to excessive credit expansion, but also caused the already exaggerated economic bubble to be further inflated.
But there is no way, bank employees can't think about so much, they just want to complete the task and not be harshly criticized by their bosses.
Just like in Osaka now, every afternoon, black luxury cars are parked in front of the house of a restaurant owner named Onagame.
The people who got out of the car were wearing black suits and carrying briefcases. They were all elites in the Japanese financial industry.
Once you enter the mansion, you often don't come out until two or three in the morning.
They come to participate in the toad worship ceremony, and then they can get in touch with the boss lady who is said to be able to predict the stock market, or inquire about the stock market, or facilitate financing transactions.
People at Industrial Bank even regard the boss’s wife as their living ancestor.
This is because the landlady never reads the contract when borrowing money, nor does she care about the interest, nor does she say "no" to an acquaintance.
As long as Industrial Bank requested her to obtain financing from the bank, Ogami would sign and pledge the amount and interest without even looking at it.
Where can I find such a good customer?
This is something that the financing department at the headquarters of Industrial Bank has always been proud and proud of.
Perhaps in the whole of Japan, only Minister Yoshimogen and his son Yoshimoshi who are at the headquarters of Sumitomo Bank in Tokyo can find another person who can compare with them, right?
