Chapter 146: Sail down the river
It is an archipelagic country with a long and narrow terrain.
There are only nine major parts of the country.
Chubu Main Island, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kansai, Kanto, Tohoku, Hokkaido, Okinawa, Kyushu.
These nine parts, combined, are only 380,000 square kilometers.
It is smaller than Sichuan Province.
There are only more than 100 million people, but this more than 100 million people, in the 90s, created more economic benefits than China's 1.3 billion people.
Therefore, I said that my life is very leisurely and rich.
In a family, only one person needs to work to support the whole family, as well as savings.
This is a very important point, and it is also the place where the difference between developed countries and developing countries, and even backward countries, is the biggest difference in the international standard of living.
Under such conditions, his living standard and concept of life are completely different from those of China.
If one person works, he can support the whole family, so the place where the husband goes out to work can be farther away.
Only go home on weekends.
And the wife is at home to take care of the children.
Small families can be built better.
Another point is that the land is legally available for purchase and has no useful life.
Everyone can have their own land, and it is permanent.
On your own land, you can build your own house.
Therefore, in addition to the fact that there are more high-rise buildings in Tokyo, there is a lazy phenomenon in other places.
In residential areas, buildings rarely exceed three storeys high.
They are all detached buildings.
The living environment is a little better than in China.
Of course, there is another important factor, earthquakes.
The house was repaired to the height, and I felt unsafe and was afraid of being destroyed by the earthquake.
……………………
It is said that the southern part of the country, Kyushu, Nagasaki Prefecture.
(The administrative unit of this is the opposite of China, and the county is larger than the city.) )
Like Lianyungang and Shanghai Port in China, it is a port city, and it is the closest place to the Asian continent in the main archipelago.
It is also the closest place to China.
It is only 450 nautical miles away from Shanghai, which is just over 800 kilometers when converted into kilometers.
The boat arrived in a day and a night.
The port of Nagasaki is the bridgehead of foreign trade between Nagasaki and China, and it is also the main gateway to the East China Sea, a strategic location, and the most famous place about Nagasaki is that the atomic bomb once frequented here.
At one point, the port of Nagasaki was bombed into ruins, destroying the outlet of the combined fleet to the sea.
Nagasaki Prefecture, Minamijimahara City, Kazusa Town.
(Machi-village means administrative unit at the town level in China.) )
It's a seaside town.
In March, with the gentle sea breeze, every household here is planted with cherry blossoms, which is the flowering season, which makes this clean and hearty town a little more feminine.
The inhabitants of this town are about a few thousand people.
Unlike China's town-level administrative units, there is no poverty, no backwardness, no dirty mess, and the villagers' land is not planted with rice, no compost, and no need to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks.
The land is planted with flowers, trees, green spaces.
Most of the town-level administrative units in this town are densely populated areas.
Even the fishermen on the border sea only work at the seaside, and the conditions are poorer.
But when I got home, it was still a single-family house.
Because he works alone, he can feed his whole family.
His salary package is very high.
In the 90s, when the economy was at its weakest, his per capita salary, for ordinary skilled workers, was about 500,000 yuan per month.
The wages of the middle class and ministers should reach about one million yuan.
China also has an income of 300,000 yuan as a dishwasher.
In 92 years, 10,000 yuan, the lowest, can also be exchanged for 600 yuan.
In other words, it is said that Ben works as a dishwasher, 300,000 yuan a month, and also has an equivalent income of about 20,000 yuan.
Yes, you read that right.
That's the gap.
Based on the economic conditions at that time, it was such an exaggeration.
It takes several years for the assembly workers of the automobile factories in Ben, even if they are low-level workers such as welders, sheet metal workers, and painters, to earn a salary in a month.
Even Americans do not say that their standard of living is high.
It is said that it is the world's largest tuna consumption market, and a bluefin tuna can easily cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and it is also auctioned, and he also eats it with relish.
The economic achievements of a country built from the ruins of the post-war period in just a few decades are indeed astonishing.
Wages are high, but prices are extremely low.
Even in 2018, China's living standards will reach the level of the original one.
Such a formula is still needed.
Prices are reduced by 10 times, wages are increased by 10 times.
Why are prices so low?
Because behind it stands a huge China.
For example, opening a commissary, tofu shop, small restaurant, etc., as long as you embark on this path, you can be regarded as a successful entrepreneur, and it is the envy of the working class in China.
In this book it is the opposite.
In this way, this kind of low-level small traders are the most distressed, and only those who do not learn and have no skills, cannot find a job, and are called second-rate people in China, will be forced to embark on this path.
It can't be helped, because his salary is too high.
This formula translates to China in 2018.
It's easy to understand.
In 2018, the monthly salary in first-tier cities was tens of thousands, and the monthly salary in western cities was also there.
Put it in the capital, 10 times the salary, that is, an annual salary of one million, and an annual salary of five or six hundred thousand.
With this level of income, who would push a cart to sell breakfast?
Even if you open a restaurant, you will feel too tired and lose face.
And why are the prices of this book low?
He is pure capitalism, the state does not set any prices, it is completely determined by the market.
Kazusa Town, Mashi Street, Takahashi's house, this is a dilapidated house with a musty smell, people live upstairs, and a restaurant runs downstairs.
The owner of this house, named Takahashi Seiichi, is such an idiot and obscene uncle who is unlearned, unkempt, almost 40 years old, and can't even get a wife.
Only he can eat the food he makes.
So business is going from bad to worse.
It is the same in any country, without knowledge, without a skill, and if you are lazy and lazy, there is no way out.
In the years when the economy was at its best, and when the economic gap between developed and developing countries was most obvious, there were still many poor people even in the capital.
And the more developed the country and the higher the economic level, the more difficult it is for the poor to be happy.
Because the things at the bottom of him have been impacted by foreign trade.
If you want to live from farming, don't be stupid.
Even the traditional fishing business has been affected by the aquatic products of Qingdao and Dalian.
This is especially true for port cities like the South Island.
For an obscene uncle like Seiichi Takahashi, life is even more difficult.
I often have to go to the welfare home to receive relief life.
On the second floor of Takahashi's house, which has been trampled on blackened and has not been washed for many years, there is a low table with a pot of tea brewed on it.
Sitting cross-legged across the street was another obscene middle-aged man, Yosuke Yokoyama.
The two usually smell the same, and their homes are not far apart, and Yosuke Yokoyama runs a grocery store.
It is also the form of going to the store.
Business is not much better than Takahashi Seiichi.
The two of them usually have a pot of sake on the table, and then reminisce about the glory of the high school days, fighting together, participating in clubs, and socializing with female classmates.
But today, Yosuke Yokoyama rarely tidied up his hairstyle, put on a neat suit, and held a leather bag in his hand.
The sake on the table was also replaced by a pot of tea.
The greetings between the two were still the same, and after a small gathering, Takahashi Seiichi made the same old mistake again, put on clogs, and went downstairs to bring a few bottles of sake, and still held a colorful award magazine in his hand.
Pour a glass for Yokoyama Yosuke, and have to get drunk again.
Smelling the smell of sake, Yokoyama Yosuke also swallowed his saliva.
I almost couldn't bear it.
But this time, Yosuke Yokoyama pushed the cup in front of him and said seriously: "Takahashi-kun, we can't fall down like this anymore, this time I brought a good news, and prepared some money, I want to go to China, this may be our only chance." ”
"You've really decided?" Takahashi sat down.
There was a look of yearning in his eyes.
Unlike most of them, Takahashi has a long-standing yearning for China.
Located in the Kyushu region, it is the area with which trade with China is most frequent.
Little by little, he watched how Chinese products changed his life.
Yokoyama is the same.
Yosuke Yokoyama has been running a grocery store for more than 10 years, and although the products in the store are still under the brand name, they know better than anyone that these products come from China.
He said that he took it back, but he just put on his own brand.
The two of them, who have been paying attention to this piece for many years, have been waiting for an opportunity.
Because in the past, trade with China was monopolized by the government and conglomerates.
In particular, the Chinese side only cooperates with units designated by the government, and even if they know that China is full of gold, they will not have the opportunity to go to China.
But since last year, good news has been coming frequently.
First of all, on the Chinese side, the high entry deposit system has been abolished.
The second is the right to foreign trade, which is open to private capital for the first time.
Thirdly, and most importantly, tourist visas are now very convenient.
Yosuke Yokoyama took out a stack of newspapers from his purse, which was the "Asahi Shimbun" with the largest circulation
There are already a lot of travel agencies on it, and they have opened business tours to China.
The story of an ordinary merchant who went to China to pan for gold began to circulate in Nagasaki Prefecture.
"I have decided that whether it succeeds or not, I am willing to go to China and give it a try. Yosuke Yokoyama said with a serious expression.
He has mortgaged his house to the bank.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for years.
And on the other side, what about Fan Yang?
The reason why he dared to take over the sales of canned food in Dingjunshan was to take over the important task of selling canned food.
However, the time of sales was set for March of the following year, and he lied that he was going to participate in the Tokyo Food Festival.
Why is that?
Fan Yang is also waiting.
Because he clearly knows that there is no need to worry about this market.
In response to the joint blockade of Made in China by the West, boycott.
The Chinese side will definitely have a countermeasure.
This is a very simple solution.
It is to liberalize the foreign trade rights of private capital.
Then lower the entry threshold for foreign investors.
In this way, the trade game at the national level will be delegated to the vast sea of people's struggle.
No one can stop it.
And this kind of non-governmental foreign trade person can be called a bad man.
Like Yokoyama Yosuke, and Takahashi Chengichi, it is equivalent to the fallen master of this book.
In the United States, there was also a big joke.
One such foreigner in the United States is named Kornbashi, who was arrested at the age of 49 and sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of using Chinese manufacturing and passing off American military uniforms.
And the profit exceeded 20 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 100 million yuan.
This foreign master Kornbash took the samples of the US military uniforms to Zhejiang for customization, and then took them back and sold them to the US military.
Even the Marine Corps, special operations uniforms, are made in China.
The reason for the discovery is ironic.
The reason is that the military uniforms provided by Kornbash are significantly more durable than those made in the United States.
The rice country is generally worn out and worn out in three or four years.
And what Kornbash provides is not worn out for five or six years, and the workmanship is significantly better.
attracted the attention of the military, investigated him, the original intention was to increase the amount of orders, but I don't know what happened, and the source was found.
That's when he was shaken out.
It caused an uproar on the side of the United States.
Made in China has even infiltrated the military of the United States.
It is in such a situation that the United States has done everything possible to boycott Chinese products, but Chinese products have penetrated into all aspects.
It's all about profit.
Just like the book, since the second half of 92, there have been more and more people who have applied for tourist visas to come to China.
Bring back a wide variety of Chinese products.
It even created a new sales model in Yuben.
100 Yen Shop.
These Taobao merchants went on a shopping spree in China, which further reduced the cost of prices and promoted the development of non-governmental trade.
Fan Yang is just a trick.
And what about independent brands?
This kind of small businessman does not have the ability to OEM.
All of this comes naturally.
But when Yosuke Yokoyama and Takahashi came to Lianyungang with great interest, it was already the 9th day of their travel schedule, and they were not surprised by all kinds of colorful foreign trade commodities.
But when Yosuke Yokoyama and Takahashi Seiichi saw the canned food of Dingjun Mountain for the first time, they still exclaimed: "Takahashi-kun, quick, look what it is......"
Takahashi Chengyi has a popular toad mirror from Hong Kong on his forehead, wearing a set of sportswear made in Hangzhou, stepping on a pair of NIKE made in Hangzhou, holding a kettle in his hand, and drinking a cup of Earl Grey milk tea for 5 cents in Foreign Trade Street.
Seeing the cans of Dingjun Mountain, the milk tea at the corners of his mouth came out.
The shock on his face was undisguised.
"Soga, this is Zhuge Liang?"
Both of them picked up a bottle each.
"It's really Mr. Zhuge , Dingjun Mountain, this is canned fruit. ”
The two looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes, the stall was quite simple, with a small square table with a pile of canned fruit in the shape of a zigzag.
Fan Yang, Liu Dingxin, and Shuangshuang were standing behind the stall.
This is the third day they have set up their stall on Foreign Trade Street.
Like Seiichi Takahashi and Yosuke Yokoyama, I have seen this expression more than 10 times.
Every time, it will arouse the extreme pursuit of myself.
And 9 intending customers have been implemented, and the estimated purchase quantity has exceeded 1,000 tons of foreign trade orders.
Takahashi Chengyi was excited, and put the milk tea in his hand on the table of canned fruit, so excited, put it a little heavier, and the milk tea spilled out.
Takahashi Seiichi hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter. Frost replied in Japanese.
Seeing such a beautiful girl, Takahashi's eyes lit up, but he didn't appreciate it more.
Instead, he eagerly rummaged through the pile of canned fruits, and then asked with an earnest face: "Is this the canned fruit you produce? What about Guan Yu? What about Huang Zhong? Is there Cao Cao? This idea is great, this is going to sell crazy, is there anything else?"
