Kaede Shirakawa and Torotaro returned to Ota Ward in late June, and the last time they came was in April when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. At that time, the suit and trousers were in the spring, but now, just look at the water on Torataro's face.

"Xiao Feng, that guy in Ota is not mistaken, that old Watanabe was very fierce last time." Torotaro wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, glanced at the completely wet handkerchief, and shook it off in disgust.

Although the weather is hot, Shirakawa Kaede still insists on wearing a formal suit, not that he is perverted. It's because of the stubborn social etiquette of RB people, especially in business situations, and they are extremely particular about dress and behavior.

"Although Ota sometimes jumps out of the way, he is still reliable. Banks and Yakuza took turns, and no club could afford to toss. ”

After talking to Ota yesterday, Shirakawa Kaede understood the reason why Kazumasa Watanabe was so eager to find himself. Let's not talk about the operation of the club, which is not enough for him to drink a pot of bank debt collection and Yakuza usury.

Watanabe Motor itself is not large, and its ability to resist risks is relatively poor.

Banks will be more cautious about lending and collecting loans to these small and medium-sized enterprises. Once the risk assessment reaches the warning value, it will even choose to collect the loan in advance.

Thanks to Ota's first rights protection, people who have been investing in banks for a long time are not very optimistic about the future of Watanabe Electric.

Not only did the second mortgage loan not go through, but Watanabe Kazumasa even began to demand early recovery of the first loan on the grounds that Watanabe Kazumasa concealed the actual operation of the company.

As for Yakuza, although Shirakawa Kaede doesn't know what Watanabe Kazumasa has experienced, he can contact him so urgently, and he has a strong desire to sell. Shirakawa Kaede knew that it was definitely not a pleasant experience.

"Xiao Feng, if you want to buy Watanabe Motor, it will cost a lot of money." Torotaro doesn't know exactly how much he needs, but there are workers and equipment in that factory, so it must not be easy to do.

"Of course the money has to be spent. However, in business, in addition to the present, we should also take a proper look at the future. If there is a relatively large certainty of profitability in the foreseeable future, then the business is worth doing. "He didn't buy a Blackstone record player, of course, to make a fortune with the Blackstone record player alone.

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede say this, Torotaro hurriedly took out his wallet. He nodded, and then handed the wallet to Shirakawa Kaede. "Xiao Feng, I only have so much left here. You can take it all, and if it's not enough, I'll borrow some from Uncle Kashiwagi. ”

Shirakawa Kaede looked at the humble Torotaro, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't laugh.

He reached out and rubbed the back of the other's sweaty head, "Stupid, I have money myself." Besides, even if it's not enough, it's not bad for you. It's better to keep these for yourself, and it's good to buy some food for Aunt Miki. ”

"Oh, that's right." Torotaro happily put away his wallet when he heard this, and he could go to the izakaya for a drink every day. As for his mother, Miki, he sends money back every month.

Shirakawa Kaede is not comforting Torotaro either, he himself does have money now.

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

Nearly 30 million yen! To be honest, after seeing the amount of money into his account for the first time, Shirakawa Kaede almost thought that he had read it wrong.

RB's song royalties are generally quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Payments from Polydo Records are billed on a quarterly basis, exactly three months from the song's release to this month.

To say that Kenji Sawada 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, vinyl records are sold at a much higher price than later CDs, nearly twice as much.

The price of each vinyl is almost 2,000 yen, 500,000 copies, and Shirakawa Kaede has a 3% royalty share. The first one alone is 30 million yen, and of course there will be later, but the sales will certainly not be as high as in the previous three months.

In '79, in the early '80s, the singer's record sales were not as perverted as those of later generations. The sales volume of the No. 1 annual chart is only a million nods, and the sales of Kenji Sawada's record will properly enter the top ten by the end of the year.

Shirakawa Kaede counted the money until his hands cramped, and at the same time sighed that it would be good if this song was sung by someone else. However, others may not have such high sales when they sing.

Tsk~, people's hearts are complicated.

5 million plus 30 million is 35 million, but this 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, with a minimum levy of 600,000 yen and a tax rate of 10%. 60-1.2 million is a tranche, and the tax rate is 12%,... Later, according to the different amounts, the tax rate is incremental, and the level is different.

The tax rate is 75% for the portion exceeding 80 million yen. That's right, when your income exceeds 80 million yen, for every 100 yen you earn, 75 yen goes to the government.

Such a high tax rate is perverted compared to the highest 37% and 45% in later generations. The rich do work for the government.

But now Shirakawa Kaede doesn't have to worry about this, his money is not enough for 75%. But even so, the tax rate is deducted. 35 million yen, and what he can really get is only about 26 million.

The tax deduction immediately reduced by nearly 10 million yen, and Shirakawa Kaede felt the pain that only capitalists can experience for the first time.

It's no wonder that so many people try to avoid taxes. Of course, as a law-abiding citizen, Shirakawa Kaede will definitely pay taxes honestly.

However, as a Meiji student, he can also apply to the government for the removal of hard-working students through the school, so that when he pays taxes, he can be exempted.

The wool of the RB government, Shirakawa Kaede is at ease, and besides, it's all legal.

Although you have to pay 9 million yen in taxes to the government, you don't deduct it immediately. Before the end of March of the following year, the money can be transferred to the designated account in the individual's name, and the bank will automatically deduct it.

Well, now is the time to use the money. Of course, money is at ease when you let it go, and you are prepared. As for personal income tax, we will pass this first and talk about it next year.

Kaede Shirakawa and Torotaro stood at the door of Watanabe Electric again, and everything was the same as before. Even Shirakawa Kaede could hear the cutting sound of the machine working in the workshop.

Perhaps the workers here did not know that the factory was about to change owners. But it's normal, today is just the first meeting, and everything still needs to be discussed.

Unlike last time, this time Kazumasa Watanabe stood at the door with someone and personally received the arrival of Kaede Shirakawa.

"Shirakawa-san, take care of me, take care of you~" Kazumasa Watanabe greeted him warmly, and the right hand that he wanted to stretch out raised half and put it down, and changed it to a bow.

Shirakawa Kaede also owes a salute in return, "Watanabe-san is polite, it's me who has been taken care of." He gave a strange look at Watanabe's bandaged little finger, but didn't ask much.

"Father wanted to talk to Shirakawa-san in person. I don't know if Shirakawa-san is convenient? After hesitating for a moment, Watanabe Kazumasa still said Takashi Watanabe's request.

Shirakawa Kaede nodded thoughtfully, "No problem, it's also appropriate to visit Watanabe Takasan." ”
