Downing has not only made changes in the structure, but also added many new types of insurance. At that time, life insurance companies not only in Japan but also in almost the world were mainly engaged in transportation insurance, group insurance, and sickness and accident insurance.

After the establishment of East Asia Life, Tangning launched three new types of insurance: participating insurance, universal insurance and children's insurance. It refers to a kind of life insurance in which the insurance company distributes the distributable surplus of the participating insurance in the previous fiscal year to customers in the form of cash dividends or value-added dividends in a certain proportion after the end of each fiscal year, and the participating policies provide non-guaranteed insurance benefits to policyholders, and the distribution of dividends will also affect the insurance company's debt level, investment strategy and solvency.

Universal insurance refers to life insurance that allows you to pay premiums and adjust the amount of death insurance benefits at will. The reason why universal insurance is called "universal insurance" is that after applying for insurance, customers can adjust the sum insured, premium and payment period according to their protection needs and financial resources at different stages of life, determine the optimal ratio of protection and investment, and make the most of limited funds.

Children's insurance is insurance for minors as the insured. It is specially designed for children and adolescents to solve the education, entrepreneurship, marriage expenses needed in the process of their growth, as well as to cope with the risks of illness, disability, death and other risks that children may face. Therefore, children's insurance focuses on children's education and children's medical insurance.

At first glance, the rate of return of children's insurance is extremely high, after paying for ten years, the child will get a tuition return every semester, and when he goes to junior high school, junior high school, and college, he will get a tuition increase, and there are marriage fees, graduation business expenses, hospitalization medical expenses, retirement pensions, although the premium is a little higher, but it seems that a policy can protect the child's life, so when it was just launched. It's going crazy in the city where I work, but that's not the case.

Just when Downing was busy running his own insurance company, something happened in Japan that attracted the attention of the world, and all of Downing's plans were disrupted at once, that is, Tokyo's successful bid for the Olympics.

Tokyo's successful bid to host the 18th Summer Olympics in 1964 was Japan's first Olympic Games. It is also the first time that the Olympic Games have been held in an Asian country. According to the records of the Olympic Organizing Committee, Japan was scheduled to hold the 12th Olympiad in Tokyo in 1940, but the event was cancelled due to the war. Later, Japan also tried to hold the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1960, but lost the competition with Rome. It was only now that Japan won the opportunity to host the XVIII Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 1964.

If Japan's first two applications for the Olympics were successful, it would have been a very tangled matter. The 1936 Berlin Olympics were a disgrace in the history of the Olympics due to the racist policies and arrogance of the Nazis. If the Japanese were to host the Olympics in 1940, when they were burning with militarism, God knows what kind of historical joke they would have come up with (making the world's athletes shout "Banzai" to salute the emperor?). ）。

After the Korean War and the economic support of the United States, Japan's economy has developed rapidly, and its comprehensive national strength has enabled it to host the Olympic Games. At the same time, Japan's economic development is in dire need of a major renovation of its infrastructure. Obviously, this needs an opportunity, and the Olympics are giving the Japanese government this opportunity, so to speak, to sleep and send a pillow. Secondly. After the successful bid, Prime Minister Yuto Ikeda's "income doubling plan" achieved initial success. This has led to a significant improvement in the living standards of Japanese people in general. However, the inferiority complex of the Japanese in the international community is still difficult to eliminate, so ordinary Japanese people have always supported the government's hosting of the Olympics to show the world Japan's development and rebuild its position among developed countries.

Moreover, a total of 94 countries and regions sent delegations to participate in the Olympic Games, which is an unprecedented scale. It's not that the Japanese are popular with people all over the world. Rather, it was because many European countries abandoned their overseas colonies at that time, and these colonial countries became independent, so the number of countries participating in the Tokyo Olympics set a record for the Olympic Games.

The Japanese people are overjoyed to win the right to host the Olympic Games. However, the Japanese government is more solemn than happy. Since Japan had never had the experience of holding such a large-scale event, it was necessary to make careful preparations for the convening of this event.

For example, in the 1972 Munich Olympics, when Palestinian guerrillas kidnapped 11 Israeli hostages, the armored vehicles of the elite police units in the rescue operation were late due to traffic jams, resulting in all the hostages being killed, which is known as the Munich Massacre. I guess the Japanese government is worried about similar problems.

However, the citizens of Tokyo are all fans of the Olympic Games, and when they talk about the Olympics, they must not be slandered, and they almost sing "the Olympics are good, they are good." This image is quite unusual, so the common people in other places call these Tokyo guys who are high at the mention of the Olympics "Olympic poisoning", which is a bit of a Beijing dialect of "taking the wrong medicine".

Why is the consciousness of the people of Tokyo so high? The real reason is that almost everyone in Tokyo is a beneficiary of the Olympics. Let's just look at the $3 billion spent on the Olympics.

In fact, the vast majority of these three billion yen did not leave the land of Japan. The Japanese government took advantage of this opportunity to fund large-scale infrastructure construction in Tokyo, including the construction of the Tokaido Shinkansen, the Metropolitan Expressway, the Tokyo Elevated Monorail known as the "Motorcycle Track", the new Tokyo Metro Line, and other large-scale urban renovation projects, as well as the construction of a number of luxury hotels. We can see from the existing photographs the construction of roads and stadiums in Tokyo at that time.

With the Tokyo Olympics, Tokyo became one of the few advanced cities in the world at that time as an international metropolis that gradually showed its modern appearance. The Olympics ended quickly, but this infrastructure was left behind, and it became an important condition for Tokyo's continued development.

More importantly, through the Olympic Games, Japan took the opportunity to set etiquette requirements for its citizens that later became the norm for education, and this project to cultivate and demonstrate the quality of national etiquette by using national self-esteem and patriotism was a great success.
