National Tide 1980

It was already 9:40 when Yoshimo and his son met on the west side of Ginza Street, which was a little late.

But there was no way, their meeting was decided at the last minute.

Both father and son had their own social engagements, and it was not easy to get out of them without losing manners.

Take Minister Yoshimo for example. Today, because he was accompanying the executives of the Bank of Japan for dinner, he should have continued the one-stop service, and at least he had to go to the nightclub to have a drink.

However, the executives of the Bank of Japan felt a little unwell, and after dinner, they only sat in the nightclub for ten minutes, and left without even finishing a glass of whiskey.

Minister Yoshimo had time to think about other things, and called his son on the phone of the nightclub.

And the answer to why he called Yoshimo, who had already left work, to meet here was also very simple.

Because the place for his dinner today was at the Tan Palace Restaurant, he asked casually, but unexpectedly heard from the restaurant manager that Ning Weimin was having fun in a nearby nightclub.

This was a rare opportunity to "encounter" Ning Weimin. Of course, he hoped to take this opportunity to meet Ning Weimin and chat with him to enhance their relationship.

Of course, he didn't want his son to miss this opportunity. For the sake of his future, he could come to express his gratitude in person and gain a good impression.

As for Ji Maoce, he was somewhat reluctant to receive his father's call.

For no other reason, it was because he was supposed to have a dinner with his subordinates in the bank today to celebrate his promotion to the head of the second financing department.

This was the highlight of his life.

Not to mention that he was fascinated by the taste of power and glory for the first time, even the fact that there were two beautiful girls among his subordinates made him feel itchy.

But he didn't expect that he had just drunk a few glasses and eaten a few bites of sashimi.

He didn't have time to think about how to take the two girls to the "second meeting" after the banquet, and whether there was any hope of getting one of them in bed today.

His father called and ordered him to rush across two districts to meet him immediately.

It would be strange if he could be happy in his heart.

But he is not stupid. He knows very well how he got the position of section chief.

In addition to his father's strong support in the headquarters, the branch president looks at him differently.

Thanks to the current situation, his solid work performance can stand out in the branch.

And of course, he has to thank Ning Weimin.

The Huaxia customer introduced by his father loaned him 10 billion yen, which directly helped him to exceed all the loan tasks of the branch in two months, and won the best department award for his department in one fell swoop.

This made all members of the entire Financing Section 2 from top to bottom thank him.

For this, he was only 22 years old and had only worked for four years, but he took the position of section chief in one fell swoop.

Originally, he was promoted to the position of department head just three years after joining the company, which was enough to make people jealous. Such a promotion is a rare honor.

The most amazing thing is that he was given the position of section chief by the original section chief.

Because he was close to retirement and knew that he could not bear the current performance pressure, the former section chief actually took the initiative to express to the president that he was willing to change departments and give the position of section chief of the second financing section to him who was capable.

At the scene of the announcement of the appointment, the former section chief bowed and begged, and officially handed over the second section to him.

What an honor is this?

So in the final analysis, Ning Weimin, this client, is the foundation of his career. Therefore, even if he was disappointed, he left the table without saying a word and rushed here as soon as he heard Ning Weimin's name from his father's mouth.

But even so, he did not escape a scolding because he made Minister Ji Mao wait for him for half an hour.

I am I, and the suppression of father-son blood in Japan is similar to that in China.

"Damn, why are you so slow? You made me wait for you for so long?"

"I can't help it. It's hard to call a taxi. There's a traffic jam on the road. In order to arrive on time, I reluctantly took out 30,000 yen to call for a taxi."

"Taxi? Why? Where's your car?"

"Dad, I drank. After get off work today, the whole Finance Section 2 will have a dinner party to celebrate my promotion..."

"Call the director, it's still working hours. And it's only 30,000 yen, is it worth complaining! You've been promoted, it's not like you don't have transportation money, you're still a section chief. Oh, by the way, how much did you drink just now? I'll see Chairman Ning later, I won't embarrass me, will I..."

"I just drank two glasses of beer, I'm sure I won't make any mistakes It was a polite gesture. But... But, I was in a hurry to come here, and I haven't eaten much... So my stomach is a little..."

"What? Do you want to have a bowl of beef rice before meeting the client? Idiot, why don't you check your watch? What time is it now? Do you think someone like President Ning will sit in the nightclub and wait for you to fill your stomach? If you were not my son, I would fire you immediately for saying such stupid things! Your generation of young people is really bad. How can you not bear any hardship? When I was doing business, I would be happy to not eat for a day as long as I could sign a financing contract of one million yen! Stop talking nonsense, follow me!"

Just like that, without any delay, Ji Maoce, who came in a hurry, faced the double suppression of his father's position and bloodline.

In the nagging scolding of his father, not only did he eat a lot, but he also didn't dare to express his grievances in person.

He could only endure the empty hunger and cheer up, following his father step by step to the gathering place of Ginza clubs and nightclubs.

At this moment, facing the bustling street scene, a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

Because he was probably the only one among the people on this street who had not even filled his stomach and had to go to the most expensive place to continue socializing and drinking.

Spending the most expensive money and suffering the cheapest sin, it was incredible no matter how you think about it.

Yes, this is Ginza.

On both sides of the wide asphalt road, there are majestic buildings one after another.

Even at the innermost end of the small roads on both sides, neon lights shining at night to attract customers.

Especially in places like Ginza 7-chome where they came.

The long signboard like a ladder is surrounded by colorful neon tubes. The long signboard extends from the outer wall of the second floor of the building to the top of the building, which is particularly spectacular and eye-catching.

The signs are composed of neon tubes, and the Japanese and foreign names are intertwined.

There were also signs on the outer wall of the building's exit, with many store names written on them, including nightclubs, restaurants, fried food restaurants, and hotels.

On the opposite side of the road, there was also a building with the same appearance.

The streets were already full of cars, and these private cars and taxis were waiting for the guests to come in.

On the sidewalk, there were several men walking slowly shoulder to shoulder.

At the door of the store and the door of the building, beautiful female public relations were happily welcoming guests.

Suits, beautiful kimonos and dresses were mixed together, complementing each other.

The graceful waitresses were all beautiful and charming.

Such a scene of feasting and drinking, and the colorful lights suddenly stimulated Ji Maoce's spirit.

His rumbling stomach suddenly didn't feel so hungry, and the fatigue in his legs disappeared. He was in a much better state than before.

However, something even more ridiculous happened at this time.

Ji Maoce never dreamed that it would be embarrassing for a father and son to go to a nightclub together.

But his own father would actually take the initiative to share relevant experiences with him.

"Have you visited a nightclub in Ginza before?"

"No."

"Really? Have you never been there with the branch manager?"

"Yes. Not once. I was just a department head in the past, and I was not qualified to accompany the branch manager. At most, I accompanied the section chief to places like Snack Bar and karaoke."

"That's right. Since it's the first time, you have to be extra focused today. Watch my actions carefully and learn from me. You are also a section chief, so you don't know anything and embarrass yourself in front of big customers in the future."

This sounds even stranger. Ji Maoce never thought that one day his own father would teach him about the experience of a romantic place.

Did his father mean for him to learn how to flirt with hostesses?

This is too embarrassing. This is embarrassing, right? What kind of words should be known to others?

So he immediately faltered in his words. Not only did he not dare to agree, he even suspected that his father was drunk and talking nonsense.

"Minister...minister, are you feeling well? Is it really okay if you drink again today?"

Minister Yoshimoro immediately realized the subtext of his words.

"Damn it, you think I'm talking nonsense. I'm telling you something serious again. Where do you think the bar in Ginza is? A lowly place like Kabukicho? Could it be that I took you to the nightclub just to make you To pick up girls, teach you how to have fun? If you think so, you really deserve a beating."

"Take a good look at this place. There are no drunk customers, noisy college students, middle-aged employees urinating unscrupulously, or young people arguing over trivial matters. The young girl who vomited in the middle of the street because she was drunk, the arrogant lover who kissed passionately, not to mention the arrogant little gangsters who were covered in tattoos. Because this is Ginza. There are only polite and expensive gentlemen here, and beautiful, gentle and elegant girls. . "

"You will know when you find the place later. The female public relations here are definitely not comparable to the hostesses in those entertainment venues you go to. They may not be the most beautiful, but they must be able to talk and understand men's needs the most. They will not entertain people with their beauty. They will not let you hug them casually. So you should behave yourself, don't show any lecherous look, and don't make excessive moves. Otherwise, if you become a disgusting guest, not only will we be embarrassed. It will also embarrass Chairman Ning. "

Hearing his father say this, Ji Maoce hurriedly responded.

But despite this, he still couldn't hide the doubts and confusion in his expression.

So it still aroused Minister Ji Mao's dissatisfaction, and he thought his son didn't listen to it at all.

"I say, in your heart, do you think that the bars in Ginza are not important? Just sitting alone for a while and chatting with a lady for a while may cost 30,000 or 40,000 yen. If you drink to your heart's content, hundreds of thousands or even millions of yen a night are common. It's really not worth it. And those women can only be looked at but not touched. It's better to find a woman you like and go to a bar or a dance hall to have a good time. Is that right?"

Ji Maoce was stunned by his father's words.

But even if he thought so, he didn't dare to say it frankly, because he was afraid of being scolded again.

He shook his head repeatedly, but he knew how to beat around the bush.

"Minister, I haven't thought about it that much. I'm not qualified to comment on things I don't understand yet."

This was said cleverly. Although he knew that part of what he just said was in vain, Minister Yoshimo still patiently explained it to him.

"Humph, rich people are not fools. Even the richer the people, the smarter they are. Who would be stupid enough to waste money? Let me tell you, few people who come to Ginza nightclubs come for beauty. Although most of them People can afford it, and they want to be able to get along with beautiful and smart girls, so that they can feel at ease, but more people come here to find more career opportunities."

"I..." Ji Maoce seemed to have a low talent for human relations and sophistication. He was stunned for a long time and never said the answer that Minister Ji Mao wanted to hear.

For this reason, Minister Yoshimoto, as a father, could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing that the approximate place he wanted to go was already in front of him, he didn't hold back any longer and simply told the truth.

"Ace, because the bars in Ginza are places frequented by wealthy people, they have actually become gathering salons for Japan's upper class, a social club in disguise. The customers who frequent the bar are actually here to meet people who are interested in their careers. The people who help them are the people who connect them with the clubs and nightclubs. Do you understand? So, the more customers there are in bars like Ginza, the more people flock to them because of their booming business. It not only represents the cleverness of Mamasang's business methods, but also the value of a store's network resources. Even though the charges are so expensive, even if it is overcrowded, there are still a lot of people who want to visit this store. You can get in, because all popular nightclubs are membership-based, and once the number of customers in a store continues to decrease, it will become a vicious cycle, and there may not be any customers anymore. "

The alternative explanation is an angle that Ji Maoche has never thought of.

He finally came to a realization, understood his father's painstaking efforts, and had a deeper understanding of the purpose of this trip.

I have to say that some valuable experiences cannot be understood by oneself through so-called personal struggle and hard work.

"Minister, I understand. What you mean is that Ginza Nightclub is a good place to find resources. We are not just going there to meet President Ning. We may also gain other things, right? So this kind of place has There must be more opportunities?”

These words finally made Minister Yoshimo feel relieved, and he patted his son on the shoulder.

"You are not hopelessly stupid. You should make good use of your social money in the future and work hard. You have become the principal at the age of twenty-two. Maybe if you are lucky, you can become the principal before you are thirty. Branch president. If this is the case, it is possible for him to surpass me at the age of forty."

Jim Maocue was excited by the rare encouragement and beautiful prospects. At this time, he truly understood the benefits of having his father's support.

"Dad... no, minister, minister. I will work hard and I will not bring shame to the family."
