Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

In late June, Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro came to Ota City again. The last time they came was April when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. At that time, suits and trousers were just in time for spring, but now, just look at the gleam on Kotaro's face.

"Xiaofeng, that guy Ota is right, that old Watanabe was very fierce last time." Tiger Taro wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, glanced at the completely soaked handkerchief, and shook it in distaste. .

Although the weather was hot, Bai Chuanfeng still insisted on wearing a formal attire, it wasn't that he was perverted. But because of the stubborn social etiquette of RB people, especially in business occasions, they are very particular about dress and manners.

"Although Ota sometimes jumps a little bit, he is still reliable in his work. Banks and Yakuza take turns, and no club can stand the toss."

After talking to Ota yesterday, Bai Chuanfeng understood why Watanabe was so eager to find him. Leaving aside the club's operating problems, the bank's debt collection and Yakuza loan sharks are not enough for him to drink a pot.

Watanabe Electric itself is not big, and its ability to resist risks is relatively weak.

For these small and medium-sized enterprises, banks will be more cautious in lending and collecting loans. Once the risk assessment reaches the warning value, they may even choose to collect loans in advance.

Thanks to Ota's first rights defense, the long-term investment bankers are not very optimistic about Watanabe Denki's future.

Not only did the second mortgage fail, but Watanabe even began to ask for the early recovery of the first loan on the grounds that Watanabe concealed the actual operation of the company.

As for Yakuza, although Bai Chuanfeng didn't know what Watanabe Issei had experienced, it allowed him to contact him so urgently, as well as his strong desire to sell. Bai Chuanfeng knew that it was definitely not a pleasant experience.

"Xiaofeng, it will cost a lot of money to buy Watanabe Denki." Kotaro didn't know how much it would cost, but that piece of factory building and workers' equipment must not be easy to get.

"Of course money has to be spent. But when doing business, besides the present, you should also properly look to the future. If you are more likely to make a profit in the foreseeable future, then this business is worth doing." He bought a Blackstone record player , Of course, I don't want to make a fortune just relying on the Blackstone record player.

Hearing what Bai Chuanfeng said, Kotaro quickly took out his wallet. He nodded, and then handed the wallet to Bai Chuanfeng in one go. "Xiaofeng, I only have so much left here. You can take it all. If it's not enough, I'll borrow some from Uncle Kashiwagi."

Bai Chuanfeng looked at the naive Kotarou, and wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of the other party's sweaty head, "Idiot, I have money myself. Besides, even if it's not enough, it's not bad for you. Keep these for yourself. It's not bad to buy some food for Auntie Miki."

"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, Kotaro put away his wallet happily again, and he can go to the izakaya for a drink every day again. As for his mother Mei Shu, he sent money back every month.

Bai Chuanfeng is not comforting Tiger Taro, he is indeed rich now.

In addition to selling "Dragonfly" for 5 million yen after the New Year, the first royalty share of the song has also arrived today.

Close to 30 million yen! To be honest, when Bai Chuanfeng saw the amount credited into his account for the first time, he almost thought he was wrong.

RB's song royalties are generally quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. The repayment of Polydor Records is settled on a quarterly basis, which is exactly three months from the release of the song to this month.

To say that the current Sawada Kenji is worthy of being a popular spicy chicken, the song has already won more than 500,000 sales in just three months after its release.

Due to the high cost of raw materials, production, packaging and transportation, etc., the price of vinyl records is much higher than that of later CDs, nearly twice that of the latter.

The price of each vinyl sheet is about 2,000 yen, 500,000 sheets, Shirakawa Kaede has a 3% royalty share. Only the first sum is 30 million yen, of course there will be more later, but the sales volume will definitely not be as high as the previous three months.

In 1979 and the early 1980s, the singer's record sales were not as abnormal as those of later generations. The number one sales in the annual list is only a little over one million, and the sales volume of Kenji Sawada's album will definitely enter the top ten by the end of the year.

While counting the money, Bai Chuanfeng got cramps in his hands, and sighed that it would be great if someone else sang this song. However, singing by others may not necessarily have such a high sales volume.

Tsk~, people's hearts are complicated.

5 million plus 30 million is 35 million, but the money does not belong to him completely. Don't forget that the personal income tax implemented by RB at this time is an excess progressive tax.

There are as many as 19 stalls, starting at 600,000 yen, and the tax rate is 10%. 600,000-1,200,000 is one level, the tax rate is 12%, and the tax rate will increase according to the amount.

The tax rate is 75% for the part exceeding 80 million yen. You read that right, when your income exceeds 80 million yen, for every 100 yen more you earn, 75 yen of it will be given to the government.

Such a high tax rate is as high as 37% and 45% compared with later generations, which can be called abnormal. Rich people do work for the government.

But now Bai Chuanfeng doesn't have to worry about these things, his little money is not enough for 75%. But even so, deduct the tax rate. 35 million yen, what he can really get is only about 26 million.

The tax deduction immediately reduced nearly 10 million yen, and it was the first time that Bai Chuanfeng felt the pain that only capitalists can experience.

No wonder so many people find ways to evade taxes. Of course, as a law-abiding citizen, Bai Chuanfeng will definitely pay taxes honestly.

However, as a Meiji student, he can also apply to the government for hard-working students through the school, so that he can reduce or exempt some when paying taxes.

Bai Chuanfeng felt at ease to squeeze the wool of the RB government, besides, it was all legal.

Although 9 million yen has to be paid to the government, it is not deducted immediately. Before the end of March of the following year, just transfer the money to the designated account under your personal name, and the bank will automatically deduct it.

Well, now is the time to spend money. Of course, you can feel at ease when you put money in your hands, and you will be prepared for any danger. As for the personal income tax, let's pass this first, and we will talk about it next year.

Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro stood at the door of Watanabe Denki again, and everything here remained the same. Even Bai Chuanfeng could hear the cutting sound of machine tools in the workshop.

Perhaps the workers here don't know that the factory is about to face a change of owner. But it's normal, today is just the first meeting, everything still needs to be discussed.

Different from the last time, this time Watanabe Issei brought people to stand at the door to receive Bai Chuanfeng's arrival in person.

"Shirakawa-san, take care of me, take care of me~" Kazumasa Watanabe greeted him enthusiastically, raised his right hand halfway up and lowered it, and bowed instead.

Bai Chuanfeng also bowed in return, "Watanabe-san is polite, I am grateful for your care." He looked at Watanabe Issei's bandaged little finger strangely, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Father wants to talk to Bai Chuan-san in person. I wonder if it is convenient for Bai Chuan-san?" After hesitating for a while, Kazumasa Watanabe still said Takashi Watanabe's request.

Bai Chuanfeng nodded thoughtfully, "No problem, it's also right to pay a visit to Ryusang Watanabe."
