Japan was not a paradise for the elderly from the beginning.

According to legend, in ancient Japan, some elderly people over the age of seventy would be carried to the mountains by their children to fend for themselves.

Such a mountain is called "Abandoned Mountain" in Japan.

In 1956, the Japanese writer Shichiro Fukasawa created a novel "Narayama Setikao" based on the legend of "abandoning the old mountain".

The novel was later adapted into a film, which won the Palme d'Or at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.

This Japanese legend, on the one hand, illustrates the poverty of ancient Japan and its inability to give the elderly a good death, and on the other hand, it also shows Japan's "view of old age."

It’s no wonder that in Japan, when taking buses and subways, young people give up their seats to the elderly, which makes the elderly angry.

Japanese elements understand this phenomenon as the backbone of the Japanese elderly.

I feel that in Japanese society, even the elderly are not willing to cause trouble to others. How high-quality Japanese people are.

But they don’t understand that the reason for this special phenomenon in Japan actually stems more from the ancient Japanese tradition of “abandoning the elderly”, which caused fear and mental pressure on the elderly.

Under this cultural background, even after entering modern society, Japanese elderly people still do not believe that they can "have support for their old age."

I don’t believe that my children will still be filial when I become useless.

What I think about every day is the truth that "there is no filial son in bed for a long time".

That's why I always try to prove that I'm still useful, and that's why I'm so afraid of being rejected.

This can only be said that compared to China, Japanese elderly people have been much more pitiful since ancient times.

Probably for this reason, Japanese families have never been interdependent.

Unlike Chinese families, there is a dual connection of blood and interests, and the connection is very close.

Especially when it comes to time and money, the boundaries between Japanese family members are very clear.

Japanese parents have neither the ambition to financially support their children’s marriages nor the obligation to help their children raise the third generation.

On the other hand, children can remain indifferent to their parents' displacement and wandering around the world, and they can feel at ease and let their parents "enjoy their freedom".

Therefore, objectively speaking, Japanese family relationships can only be called "interdependent" relationships.

Japanese parents and children always seem to be as polite as neighbors.

The responsibility for supporting the elderly lies entirely with the Japanese government and the welfare system of Japanese society.

However, despite this, we have to admit that after Japan experienced post-war recovery, the economy entered a period of rapid development, and the government enacted the National Pension Act and the Elderly Welfare Act until 2001, when Koizumi came to power.

Not only is Japan's elderly care industry developing rapidly, Japan's elderly have also been enjoying the rich fruits of Japan's economic rise.

During that period of time, the elderly care conditions in Japan were indeed quite favorable.

If you don’t believe it, just do the economic calculations and you will know.

First of all, Japanese pensions are generally divided into two types.

One is the welfare pension, which is for enterprise employees and public officials.

This kind of pension insurance is paid in half by individuals, enterprises, and government departments while working, and is paid out gradually after employees retire.

The other is the National Pension, which is for freelancers and is a type of personal insurance.

People who do not have corporate insurance, such as small traders, entertainers and art workers, pay their own monthly insurance premiums and can also receive them after retirement.

It is also worth mentioning that Japanese housewives can not only enjoy the national pension pension insurance without paying premiums.

Moreover, when the husband has not retired, the company and the government will add a special "spousal subsidy" to the head of the family's salary for housewives.

This approach is still very humane.

This means that most families in Japan will be able to have a monthly pension of approximately 250,000 yen after the couple reaches retirement age.

According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to two thousand five hundred US dollars.

If we wait a few more years and reach the peak of the bubble economy, it will be almost equivalent to US$4,000.

Relatively speaking, the normal monthly expenses for two elderly people are only 150,000 yen.

This is equivalent to a healthy elderly couple saving 100,000 yen every month.

Secondly, we must also know that before the collapse of the bubble economy, Japanese elderly people who retired during this period basically bought their own homes at very good prices.

On average, they only spent five years of their income, and they had already paid off their home loan.

Not only are they debt-free, most Japanese elderly people even have considerable savings.

Finally, the Japanese in this era do not retire at sixty-five, but at sixty.

Compared with retirees after Koizumi came to power, they paid five years less insurance and received five more years of pension.

What's the difference between the outside and the inside here?

It is common nowadays for a retired elderly couple to have tens of millions of yen in cash.

It can be said that in this era, every elderly person living in Japan's big cities is a mobile money bag and the richest consumer group.

This is especially true for families where the husband can hold the position of section leader or above.

Basically, after the head of the family retires, he will make a plan to travel around the world immediately.

It’s no wonder that the American media evaluates Japan in this era as the most suitable country for retirement.

So one can imagine how smoothly Ning Weimin sold the new generation of trolley suitcases.

In fact, although the old people complained about the time of his call, some people thought it was a little late.

But no one regretted the reservation and said they didn’t want the rolling suitcase.

Even after a difficult trip, some people want to buy more. There are many rich people who want to buy three sizes of suitcases in one go: large, medium and small.

It turned out that only 20 couples left their phone numbers and addresses, but in the end more than 50 boxes were sold.

These Japanese old men and ladies don’t even care about the price, they basically want the highest-end brand - Pierre Cardin.

Ning Weimin just hired a truck and worked as a door-to-door porter for a few days.

I easily earned nearly 4 million yen.

It is equivalent to exchanging more than fifty suitcases for a Toyota Crown. How big a benefit is this?

Not to mention Ning Weimin's ruthlessness, these old Japanese men should all be old Japanese who participated in World War II based on their age.

If they were all thrown into a tug-of-war, they might be really unjustly accused.

But if you line up these old men in a row and shoot every other one, more fish will definitely slip through the net.

Kill them... Ning Weimin's heart is not broken.

As for starting a company, Ning Weimin has a ready-made house and has his own lawyer and tax accountant. Even his Japanese writing ability has improved greatly.

He went to complete the registration procedures, and it was effortless to apply for Fujimoto. He just followed the rules and was done.

After all, it is just a small company that does import business and acts as an agent for three trolley luggage brands.

It does not involve food safety or industrial production, and the procedures are very simple.

Even a common headache for foreigners - opening a Japanese bank account - is not difficult for him.

After all, after the ATM machine vulnerability incident, he had established certain contacts with Sumitomo Bank and had a high-limit credit card.

If nothing else happens, he will be able to complete all the procedures within a week.

Things in the warehouse are not difficult to handle, it's just a matter of spending money, and the trolley suitcase doesn't take up much space.

With the help of Miyoko Kagawa, he easily found a warehouse of more than 100 square meters near Akasaka.

The price is 8,000 yen per square meter per month, 950,000 yen per month, which is enough for the time being.

As for the name of this second company that belongs entirely to him.

He followed the Japanese custom and named it "Dachi Trading Company".

The origin of this name is very simple. All Chinese people will sing such a song - chop off the heads of the Japanese with a big knife!

Concisely and concisely, this is how he declared to the Japanese.

I came to Japan with malicious intentions to take advantage of you, and to settle old scores on behalf of the Chinese people. What the hell!

But having said that, there is still a certain gap between reality and ideals.

Strategically, his goals are indeed ambitious and his route is correct.

But for the time being, we have to overcome some tactical disadvantages, so we can only endure it for the time being.

You know, the Japanese unemployment rate is really low these days. It is really difficult for a small company like this run by a Chinese to recruit people.

Regardless of the fact that fresh graduates are looking for jobs right now.

But after his advertisement was posted, not even a Pheasant University graduate contacted him.

Even raising the salary to 300,000 yen is useless, although usually, college students who have just joined the job only have a salary of 160,000 to 180,000 yen.

For no other reason than because the Japanese are "single-minded", no one thinks that a leather bag company like his will have a future.

Later, he lowered his academic requirements and someone called to request an interview.
