Spring Thunder Chapter 0286: Spying on Japanese Agriculture
On the first day in Tokyo, Nan Yi did not go out, but spent the day in the Japanese garden reading materials and thinking.
Nan Yi has also decided on the last link in the Tokyo real estate plan - the buyer. The top seed is Akira Tsutsumi, the man who will have a "love affair between people of different ages" with Yasuko Sawaguchi in the future.
In the future, he will be the world's richest man in 1987 and 1988. At his peak, he is said to own one-sixth of the real estate in Tokyo. Well, this is basically nonsense. His personal wealth exceeds 100 billion US dollars, and it was 100 billion US dollars in the 1980s, which is really a huge number.
Recalling Di Yiming's information, Nan Yi suddenly developed a hatred for the rich, "Damn, he's so rich, how can he not give himself some? Money should be spent on the right things, my nickname is Blade.
I would have quit in 1988, leaving this old guy with the opportunity to become the richest man with 200 billion. Anyway, this old guy has no way out. "
Tsutsumi Akira's wealth has expanded along with the rapid development of Japan's economy, and has become a banner of Japan's economy. Both the cabinet and the chaebols hiding behind the scenes have chosen him to be the flag bearer and given him a lot of reputation. Naturally, Tsutsumi Akira has to hold on and stand up at the critical moment.
Therefore, no matter how the real estate situation in Japan changes, Di Yiming cannot cash out a large amount.
Once he cashes out a large amount, it will be a heavy blow to the Japanese economy. What do you mean? Do you think the Japanese economy is in decline? Do you underestimate the ability of our cabinet? Or do you think our chaebols don't have Iga ninjas in their hands?
Di Yiming is the trendsetters of the times and the chosen one of heaven. He coincides with those forces hidden in the dark and embarks on the road of real estate expansion.
Faced with the growing economic bubble in Japan, Di Yiming could not and dared not conduct global capital allocation, and could not go abroad to carry out industrial layout in other countries.
The Seibu Group under him can only make symbolic investments in real estate abroad, and can only send out a few hundred million US dollars, but not more. What? Want to run away?
The cabinet is strangling you, the chaebols are cutting your tendons, and the Japanese people are waving flags and shouting "Don't let him get away". If you want to run, we will make you look miserable. You have to retreat now and leave the table decisively.
Otherwise, there is only one way before him - to use the bank's extremely low-interest loans to blow up his balloon bigger and bigger until the day it is popped.
There is an executioner's union in this world. They have set up a ranking list of live pigs by net weight. Every once in a while, they will pick a live pig from the list, slaughter it, and make a pot of pork stewed with leeks to add some fat and water to everyone.
"President."
Nan Yi was taking a walk along the shore of Lake Kawaguchi in the morning, and Ueto Masami, who had arrived in Tokyo before him, came over.
"Have you found the right person?"
"I found him. The adoption procedures have been completed. According to the president's request, we found a lonely man with terminal cancer and sponsored him with funds to realize his last wish."
"material."
Ueto Masami handed the information to Nan Yi, and Nan Yi started to read it. Seeing that the IQ evaluation was mediocre, he nodded to show his satisfaction, closed the information and said, "Change his name to Nan Ieyasu [the Japanese have the surname Nan]."
"Tokugawa Ieyasu?"
"Well, the development is despicable. The victory is to outlast others. Help Nan Jiakang find an ordinary school so that he can receive a happy education. Then find a single-family house near the school. I will live with him for a while."
"Hayi."
Japan has family-based zaibatsu headed by Sumitomo, Mitsui, and Mitsubishi; there are also company banks that have been closely integrated after World War II, and zaibatsu formed by company presidents, such as Fuji, Sanwa, and Dai-ichi Kangyo.
The tentacles of these major chaebols touch every aspect of Japan, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they secretly control Japan's economy.
Nan Yi has a small goal in Japan, which is to establish a small chaebol that ranks at the bottom in terms of strength and live on the support of these big chaebols.
Really, he is just a tiny chaebol the size of a soybean.
First, of course, it was to get some money from Japan to spend, and second, it was also intended to use this place as a training ground. No matter if they were biological children or adopted children, they would have to come to Japan for a transition period in the future and compete with the Japanese.
"Let's go to the office."
Take a car to Uehara in Shibuya Ward. The address 1-18-7 is a three-and-a-half-story detached building, which is also the office location of Baoguo Rice Company [Baoguo Grain Company].
Masami Ueto came to Tokyo first, and one of her tasks was to establish this company and find a suitable office space.
On the surface, this office space was rented from Ikeda Company and had a normal lease contract.
Masami Ueto brought Nan Yi to the third floor. In the corner, there was an office door with a nameplate of President Kanji Nagao on it. This was Nan Yi's office.
The office is not big, with room for only a desk, a set of filing cabinets, a water dispenser, and two chairs for visitors. It is very cramped, and even the windows are not big. The light is a bit dim, and you have to turn on the lights even during the day.
"Is this the worst house owned by Ikeda Company?"
"Yes, this is the worst of all the houses that can be used for offices. If we rent it out, the rent we can get won't be high, so we have to absorb it internally."
"It's okay if it's small, but it's a little inconvenient without a bathroom."
"President, next to the office is the staircase leading to the rooftop. There is a bathroom upstairs, which I have reserved for your exclusive use."
"It's not right above my head, is it?"
"no."
"That's good." Nan Yi said, sitting on the big chair, "How is the recruitment going?"
"Not so good, President. New graduates in Tokyo now have no trouble finding jobs. They can go to the big companies for interviews at any time and will basically pass.
Not only are the salaries and benefits good, the interview benefits are also good, and if they are chosen as talents, they can also get a compensation, which is currently around 500,000 yen, in addition to transportation expenses, etc. ”
"I know, I know. Tell me, how much did you take?"
"Not much. I'm a woman and I only got 200,000 yen."
"That's not bad."
Companies in Japan will give a sum of money to candidates if they find talents they particularly like during interviews. The implication is that after receiving the money, the candidates will decide to come to work in the company and not go to other companies for interviews.
This is an unspoken rule. No contract will be signed. It all depends on the interviewee's initiative. Of course, there are also people who directly sign a labor contract, but the "compensation" given in that case will be higher.
"So, now you haven't recruited anyone?"
"Yes, there are only two still in the interview stage, and they will come for a re-examination tomorrow."
"Lower your requirements. The company doesn't need high-end talents. We deal with farmers. Temperament and character are more important than so-called ability. As for the selection of the president, there is no rush. We can find one slowly. I will stay in Tokyo for a while."
"clear."
"Have you connected with Takei Yasuo?"
"Not yet. Takei Yasuo is a male chauvinist who doesn't even look at women. President, you asked me to hide my identity, but he ignored me."
"Okay, you continue with your work, I'll take care of it myself, Takei Yasuo."
"Hayi."
When you go to a bank for a mortgage loan, you can usually borrow 60% to 80% of the value of the mortgaged property, but basically the bank will require the borrower to have a good credit and no bad record, and the procedures are relatively complicated.
Of course you can get a bank loan to buy a house, but if you need a small loan, or if you don't have suitable collateral, the Japanese will usually look for a small loan company, which is actually a loan shark.
Yasuo Takei is the chairman of Takefuji, the largest loan shark company in Japan.
Yasuo Takei was born in Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo in 1931. His mother was the owner of a small grocery store, and he helped out in the store since he was a child.
Yasuo Takei's middle school years coincided with the late stages of World War II. He entered Japan's war reserve force, the Army Flying School, before finishing middle school.
After Japan's defeat, Takei Yasuo, like many student soldiers, was swept into the huge unemployed group. He could not find a stable job and had to wander around and make a living by doing odd jobs.
For a long time, Takei Yasuo did various legal and illegal small businesses. Gradually, he found a profitable business, which was loan sharking.
Nan Yi had read a report on Takei Yasuo, which said that his inspiration for getting rich came from the Kingdom of Xian.
In the 1960s, after a trip to China, he learned about the operating model of China's personal consumer credit companies and transplanted this model to Japan.
Japan was entering a period of economic boom in the 1960s, and lack of funds was a concern for many Japanese people. Yasuo Takei keenly seized this opportunity to make a fortune.
In January 1966, Yasuo Takei used the funds he had accumulated from reselling rice to rent a small 12-square-meter house in Itabashi District, Tokyo, and set up the "Fuji Shoji" company to provide small consumer loans to individuals.
Yasuo Takei initially targeted housewives as his target for making money because he believed that housewives had better personal credit than men.
Takei Yasuo had a unique way of observing the creditworthiness of his customers. For example, he believed that people with clean and tidy homes would not default on their debts. With this business model, he quickly accumulated a lot of wealth.
In 1974, Yasuo Takei's company was renamed "Takefuji", nicknamed "Yen Shop", meaning that yen can be bought and sold here.
However, Takefuji has a bad reputation because it lends high-interest loans to customers, putting many people in debt. In addition, the report also said that Takei Yasuo has close ties with violent organizations.
Nan Yi thought this was nonsense. It would be strange if loan sharks were not involved in illegal activities. Even for credit card debts, if the debtor kept delaying payment, the person who came forward to collect the debt in the end would not be a decent person.
As for loan sharks, they always have collateral from debtors who cannot pay back their debts. There are only a few things that can be used as collateral: real estate, cars, land, chastity, organs, and businesses.
Nan Yi is interested in real estate, land, and enterprises, but he is most interested in arable land.
In Japan, the three most popular heavy gambling methods are pachinko, horse racing, and mahjong. There is also a lighter form of charity such as lottery. No matter which one you play, as you play more, the quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. There will always be some people who will lose everything and take their belongings to Takefuji to mortgage loans.
Nan Yi wanted Baoguo Migu and Takefuji to become strategic partners, and Baoguo Migu would purchase collateral from Takefuji at a high price, especially land, and would give a higher price.
As long as the premium for the land is high enough, Yasuo Takei will naturally use his brain to let his clients use the land as collateral, and will naturally find a way to make his clients unable to pay back the money.
If the client can pay back the money on time, Takefuji's profit may be higher, but the capital turnover rate will not be fast enough; however, by selling the collateral to Baoguo Migu, the client can get cash immediately, and the collected money can be loaned out immediately, so Takefuji can earn more interest.
Overall, by cooperating with Nanyi, Takefuji will make higher profits.
Of course, there must be someone like Nan Yi behind Takefuji, but he feels that no one else would be so interested in the farmland, nor could they offer a higher premium than him.
Among the companies engaged in agricultural development in Japan, only Benimaru Company is worthy of his attention.
However, this company is actively expanding into China, and its Tokyo headquarters is mainly engaged in import and export business that is not related to agriculture.
Japan has about 70 million mu of arable land, and Nan Yi's small target is 1 million mu. If the cabinet's nerves are touched during the merger process, he will immediately back off and make the small target even smaller.
In the 1970s, when Japan's economy was developing rapidly, the cabinet implemented special preferential policies for rural areas, providing high subsidies for the production of agricultural and sideline products, and encouraging farmers to stay at home to farm instead of just running to the city to work as migrant workers.
The Japanese cabinet believes that most of Japan is rural. If the rural areas cannot become prosperous, the whole country of Japan will not become prosperous. If the rural areas are in chaos, the whole country will be in chaos.
Therefore, during the period of rapid economic development from the 1970s to the present, Japan has solved a major problem, that is, it has basically eliminated the gap between the rich and the poor between urban and rural areas, and eliminated the income gap between farmers and urban residents.
During the period of rapid economic development, Japan encountered problems in rural urbanization.
However, Japan's rural urbanization does not mean artificially demolishing and merging small villages and concentrating farmers to build high-rise residential areas.
Instead, without changing their original place of residence or merging villages, the cabinet will fund the modernization of rural infrastructure to ensure that every household has access to electricity, gas, tap water and roads.
The housing and living conditions of farmers are not only similar to those of urban residents in Tokyo and Osaka, but many families even have living conditions that exceed those of urban residents.
There are two basic reasons why Japan's rural areas are richer than cities. One is that Japan's rural areas have a national agricultural cooperative organization called the "Agricultural Cooperative Association", which is generally represented by the English letters "JA".
This agricultural cooperative not only has its own bank and logistics center, but also its own agricultural and sideline products trading center. It can provide loans to farmers, and also gather the vegetables and fruits grown by farmers to trading centers in various places and provide them to agricultural product trading markets across the country, or directly to local supermarkets.
In other words, farmers don’t have to worry about the vegetables and fruits they grow rotting in the fields because they cannot be sold. All they have to do is drive them to JA trading centers in various places. JA will be responsible for purchasing them and then distributing them across the country, which can ensure that farmers have sufficient income from farming.
Secondly, in addition to planting and processing agricultural and sideline products, rural laborers more often serve as industrial workers.
That is to say, during the busy farming season, he is a farmer, and during the slack farming season, he works in a factory near his home and is a worker.
There is a special word in Japanese called "part-time job". "Part-time job" is different from migrant workers who leave their hometown to work in other places. Their farmland is right at their doorstep, and the factory where they work is also near their home.
Therefore, in addition to the income from farming, Japanese farmers can also receive a fixed salary from factories and enterprises every month, so the income of these farmers is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.
Precisely because Japanese farmers have the tradition of "part-time jobs", many Japanese manufacturing companies have moved their factories to rural areas, making use of the abundant local labor force and training a group of farmers who will not change jobs to become skilled workers, allowing them to work in the factories for a long time .
When developing agriculture in Japan, Baoguo Migu does not have to worry about external transportation. Agricultural products can be sold directly in Japan, and low-tech agricultural and sideline product processing businesses can be developed in Japanese rural areas.
As long as Baoguo Migu can acquire and merge 100,000 acres of arable land, it will not be too difficult to obtain a profit of 1 billion US dollars a year. Moreover, considering the continuous appreciation of the yen and the continuous improvement of the market, this profit can be multiplied several times.
In addition, animal husbandry can be developed, including Jiangshang Fisheries and eel farming of the Kenzhi Group. Just in the three fields of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, Nanshi Investment has the opportunity to make a profit of over 10 billion US dollars in Japan every year.
