After having supper, on the way back to Fang's Manor, Nan Wuwei said to Nan Yi: "Dad, I don't like those two people just now."
"You can dislike that woman, but you can't dislike that man. He will bring Dad more than 100 million in profits soon, and there will probably be more in the future. You can't dislike someone who can bring us great benefits."
"We?" Nan Wuwei's eyes lit up.
Nan Yi saw the brightness in Nan Wuwei's eyes and stroked his head. "Stinky boy, don't over-interpret. We refers to our family, not you and me."
"No matter what, my understanding is that Dad and I, 'we' should talk about how to divide the money." Nan Wuwei deliberately emphasized the word "we".
"You little brat, you only know how to plot against me, your father. Well, since you found a loophole in my words, I admit it. Since I am your father, there is no need for a tug-of-war. Do you have any objection to giving you 50%?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"It's a deal. Next time we invest, you have to pay half of the capital."
Nan Wuwei held Nan Yi's hand and played the victim, "Dad, I'm so poor. I only have over 200 million in my account. It will be used up soon. Can you help me with the investment?"
"Don't cry poor in front of me. I'm the poorest in the family. You have more than 200 million, but I don't even have 100 million. I'm just a farmhand in the family. You big and small landlords take turns exploiting me." Nan Yi pinched Nan Wuwei's face. "In my previous life, I must have dug up your ancestral graves. I'm here to pay the debt in this life ."
"Dad, we are one family. My ancestral grave is your ancestral grave."
"Oh, I said the wrong thing." Nan Yi fiddled with Nan Wuwei's hair, grabbed a few strands and measured that they were about seven centimeters long. "Your hair is too long. It's time to cut it."
Nan Wuwei shook off Nan Yi's hand and said, "No, I want to grow it longer."
"Your family owns this school. Doesn't your school's rules stipulate that boys' hair cannot be longer than three centimeters?"
"There are school rules, but the teachers don't enforce them strictly, so many senior students have long hair."
"Oh, I never asked you, do you have bars on your arms?" Nan Yi nodded.
"Yes, two bars."
"Not bad, Dad only had one bar before."
"Each generation must be stronger than the previous one. I will strive to get three bars next semester." Nan Wuwei said arrogantly.
"Yeah, come on."
"Dad, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"good."
The next day, Haneda Airport.
Nan Yi, who landed first, waited for a while, and Nan Wuwei's plane also landed. After the father and son met up, they did not take the VIP channel but went directly through the ordinary channel.
In addition to the trainee dispatch business, Ikeda Company added international marriage agency and language school business two years ago.
The international marriage agency's main business line at present is from Vietnam to Taicun, marrying girls from rural areas in North Vietnam to rural areas in Taicun. This business line has a good profit margin, but the total profit is not too high. However, it has a very good reputation among customers on both sides because Ikeda Company has always been realistic and will not exaggerate the conditions of the man or the woman.
Language schools teach Japanese. There are three channels to come to Japan - trainees, international marriages, and studying abroad. The potential of Japan's trainee business has almost been exhausted by Ikeda Company. Nan Yi does not want to do international marriage business from China to Japan. If it wants to increase its income, it can only enter the field of studying abroad and earn some tuition fees, information fees, job agency fees, etc.
When Nan Yi contacted Ikeda Karikyo yesterday, he heard that about thirty language school students would fly over from Shanghai today. He happened to run into them, so Nan Yi thought of taking a look at them at the airport.
"President."
As soon as Nan Yi and his companion walked out of the exit, Ikeda Karikyo appeared in front of them.
"Ah, Ikeda-kun, you came specially to pick me up?"
"No, I'm here to pick up two guests." Ikeda Karikyo replied, and then bowed to Nan Wuwei and said, "Nandian, welcome to Tokyo."
"Hello, Uncle ."
After the greetings, Ikeda Karikyo pointed in a direction and said, "President, that's Chen Haifeng, the person in charge of the language school business. Mr. Chen came to Japan as a trainee in 1984, was admitted to Chiba University in 1986, and was recruited into the company after graduation."
Nan Yi nodded and said, "Not bad, very motivated, call the person over."
"Hayi."
Ikeda Karikyo quickly called Chen Haifeng over, and after some greetings, Nan Yi asked about business issues.
"President Chen, where do students usually live?"
"The rent is cheaper in the old district of Takadanobaba."
"Oh, where do you usually work?"
"The location of part-time jobs is not fixed. There are jobs everywhere in Tokyo. Students can find jobs by themselves or go to places introduced by the school. The school takes 20% of the salary." After taking a look at Nan Yi's face, Chen Haifeng added: "Although the school takes 20%, the income of students will not be lower than what they find themselves, and the jobs arranged by the school will be relatively easy."
"I see. Is the situation at the school stable? Has anything bad happened?"
Chen Haifeng hesitated slightly and said, "Nothing happened. Everything is stable."
"Okay, go and get busy." Nan Yi waved his hand and said.
After Chen Haifeng bowed and left, Nan Yi said to Ikeda Karikyo: "Go to the language school to find out the situation and see if there is any exploitation of students, especially female students."
"President, most of the students in the language school are Chinese, and the staff are also mainly Chinese. There is only one Japanese in the management."
"This is what I'm worried about. Let me know." Nan Yi couldn't tell Ikeda Karikyo clearly what he was worried about. It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
"Hayi."
After standing at the airport for a while, I saw Chen Haifeng received a group of people. It was very noisy, with both men and women. The older ones looked to be over 35 years old, and the younger ones looked only 17 or 18 years old. One of the girls looked to be less than 20 years old. She had a kind face and was easy to attract other people's favor.
Chen Haifeng talked to the students about some precautions, and then led them out of the airport.
"Ikeda-kun, does the school have a minibus?"
"No, the cost of maintaining a car in Tokyo is too high, and the utilization rate is too low. It is not cost-effective for the school to have a minibus on hand. During the peak period when students come, the school will temporarily rent a minibus."
"uh-huh."
After looking around at the airport for a while, Nan Yi took Nan Wuwei away.
Arriving at the entrance of the Japanese garden at Lake Kawaguchi at the foot of Mount Fuji, Sayuri Hagiwara, who had been waiting in the pavilion, came to greet them, "Nagao-kun, you've worked hard; Wuwei, you've worked hard."
"Lily, you've worked hard." Nan Yi said to Sayuri Hagiwara, and then sent Nan Wuwei to go to Lake Kawaguchi to play for a while.
As soon as Nan Wuwei left, Hagiwara Sayuri immediately jumped into Nan Yi's arms, used her hands and feet to move charmingly, and spun to the tatami in the room, writing down an ellipsis for two hours.
Nan Yi recovered his strength. Sayuri Hagiwara, who had just been injected with new energy, prepared a table of food. When the cicada sounds that represented a summer afternoon rang out, two adults and one child sat in the pavilion and tasted the main dish, Sukiyaki, prepared by Sayuri Hagiwara.
"Nagao-kun, the land prices in Tokyo have been falling. The drop has reached half, but there is still no demand. What do you think about me buying some land and real estate now?"
"If it's real estate in Shibuya or Ginza, you can sell it now. If it's in other places, wait and see for a while. The prices of land and real estate in Japan have not bottomed out yet. I guess they can fall another 20% to 30%."
"Will it fall further?" Sayuri Hagiwara couldn't help but frown. "The unemployment rate is already very high, and many people have simply abandoned their homes and stopped paying their mortgages. There are more and more homeless people in parks. Is Japan's economy going to end?"
"Don't worry too much. Japan's economy is not finished. This time it's just the bubble of the real estate industry that has been punctured and the moisture inside has been drained. After the pain, Japan's economy will get back on track."
Nan Yi actually hopes that Japan's economy will collapse, but regardless of the memories of his previous life or rational analysis, Japan's economy is simply not going to be over. This round of pain is just to shuffle out those "nouveau riche" of the 1980s, and by the way, make most of the Japanese people become rational and no longer indulge in the financial game of rapid asset appreciation.
“Can land prices go back up again?”
"It will definitely go up, but it's impossible for it to skyrocket. The Ministry of Finance will definitely control the real estate industry. So, Lily, the real estate you want to acquire must have good rental potential. In the future, the main income from real estate in Tokyo will be rent."
"Rent..." Sayuri Hagiwara thought for a moment and said, "Ginza nightclub area, Kabukicho in Shinjuku, Shibuya?"
"Yes, acquire commercial real estate in these places with good locations."
"Dad, should I buy some too?" said Nan Wuwei, who was sitting on the side and listening with his ears perked up.
"Don't think about it anymore. Just take advantage of me, your father, and wait for the ready-made rewards."
“Hehehe.”
"Wuwei, eat beef." Sayuri Hagiwara put some beef rolls in Nan Wuwei's bowl with a doting look on her face.
"Thank you, Aunt Hagiwara."
After the little episode, the three of them concentrated on eating. After the meal, Sayuri Hagiwara made barley tea for Nan Yi and brought a stack of newspapers. Sayuri Hagiwara served Nan Yi with the newspapers while Nan Wuwei went into the house to take a nap.
There is no good news in the newspapers. Kamaishi Credit Bank and Toyo Credit Bank have gone bankrupt, Sanwa Credit Bank is in danger, and Toho Mutual Bank, Hyogo Bank and Pacific Bank are also having a hard time. Although the newspapers are vague, judging from the bad debt rate of Japanese banks, as long as the Ministry of Finance is not saved, bankruptcy is only a matter of one or two years.
"Nagao-kun, how long can you stay in Tokyo this time?" Sayuri Hagiwara picked up a piece of apple and put it into Nan Yi's mouth.
"Tomorrow is another day, and the day after tomorrow I will fly away."
“So soon?”
Sayuri Hagiwara looked depressed.
Nan Yi glanced at Sayuri Hagiwara and said with a smile: "Fly with me."
"That's great." Sayuri Hagiwara's face became cheerful, and she forked another piece of watermelon and put it into Nan Yi's mouth, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
"I went to observe a signing event. Did SoftBank know about it?"
Sayuri Hagiwara: "I've heard of it. It's in the magazine business. I've seen the magazines it publishes."
"SoftBank is not just a magazine company. Its chairman, Masayoshi Son, is very ambitious and wants to get involved in many areas of semiconductors, not only in Japan but also in the United States. In order to better develop in the United States, Masayoshi Son took the initiative to invite one of my investment companies to invest in SoftBank, and a signing ceremony will be held tomorrow."
Under Pan American Investment Holdings, the independently operated Fortune 500 has invested in almost all promising semiconductor and computer companies in the world except Japan and South Korea. Not only that, Fortune 500 has begun to implement a partnership system and has continuously absorbed shareholders. Consortiums, political families, and many forces on Wall Street have become shareholders of Fortune 500. Pan American Investment Holdings now holds less than 50% of the shares.
The richest man Wei Ye not only has a relatively exaggerated market value, but also has a huge network of relationships. When founders of semiconductor-related businesses in the United States and Canada need investment, the first thing they think of is the richest man Wei Ye.
Just as Nan Yi had expected, Shoufu Weiye has become a brand and a weather vane. As long as Shoufu Weiye invests in a company, its investment rating in investment and capital companies will be infinitely raised, and it will become very easy to raise funds again.
SoftBank is already working on its IPO. In order to leverage on the role of the richest man Wei Ye as a weather vane and to boost investors' confidence, Masayoshi Son took the initiative to find the richest man Wei Ye. After more than two months of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement that the richest man Wei Ye would invest in SoftBank and acquire 7% of the shares at a low price.
Sayuri Hagiwara: "You're just watching and not showing up?"
"You don't need me to show up. Someone is in charge. Let's not talk about work. Think about where to eat tonight. I want to take Wuwei to eat something special."
Sayuri Hagiwara thought for a moment and said, "How about going to a restaurant run by the Yamaguchi group?"
"Is there anything special about the Sankouchi group?"
Sayuri Hagiwara: "Because the Yamaguchi-gumi is quite special, the Metropolitan Police Department often gives them trouble, and they also often receive complaints from customers. So, in order to run the restaurant well, the Yamaguchi-gumi always keeps the restaurant environment very clean and quiet, and they catch all the seafood themselves."
"Oh, how does it taste?"
Sayuri Hagiwara: "There is a restaurant in Shinjuku that has great food. I often go there to eat."
"Then let's go to this one."
Nan Yi seemed to have heard about the Yamato group running a restaurant in his previous life, but he didn't know that they had started so early.
They continued to read the newspaper and waited until the sunlight became milder and the temperature was no longer so high. Nan Yi and Hagiwara Sayuri went for a walk by Lake Kawaguchi. After walking for a while, Nan Wuwei, with a mark on his right cheek, appeared in front of them.
Nan Yi pulled Nan Wuwei in front of him and rubbed his face with his hands, "Why do you need a stamp just for taking a nap?"
"I was sleeping on the tatami, with my face pressing on the book." Nan Wuwei replied.
"Be careful next time. Now that you're awake, Dad will take you to Akihabara. There are many game consoles and game cards there."
"Okay."
