Chapter 1231 Can I Be Happy?

During the blessing speech session, guests came on stage one after another.

As the most famous person at the scene, although Matsumoto Keiko came with Ning Weimin, she couldn't refuse the kindness.

At the strong invitation of the bride and groom, she still went on stage to make a short impromptu speech for Ning Weimin's sake, which was nothing more than congratulations.

But even so, it was enough to make a sensation at the scene and make the guests excited.

It is not an ordinary honor for ordinary people to have the congratulations of the first female star in the national film industry.

Not to mention that Zuo Haiyoujiro and Miyoko are not native Tokyo people, but "Eastern drifters" from small places.

Now that the house has been bought and the wedding has been completed, there are even celebrities like Matsumoto Keiko as guests to witness the wedding, and they also personally sent them "must be happy" congratulations.

That really made them gain enough face in front of their relatives, friends, colleagues and superiors, and they became winners in life.

So much so that after the speech session, the bride and groom went to present flowers to both parents.

The photographer was ready to take photos of the bride and groom, as well as their families, in front of the golden screen.

They also wanted to invite Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin to take photos together.

Such an occasion, I'm afraid they all thought it was the peak of their lives.

However, they didn't know that in Ning Weimin's eyes, he was really worried about the couple who were immersed in happiness.

For no other reason, it was because through the marriage, he suddenly saw the character flaws of Zuo Haiyoujiro. He was too face-conscious, or blindly confident.

Perhaps out of self-esteem, or perhaps it can be called vanity, this guy seemed to be afraid that others would look down on him, and always liked to do things that were beyond his ability.

It's okay to be friends with him with such a personality, and you will definitely not suffer.

It's okay to fall in love with him, and be a boyfriend, and you shouldn't feel bored.

But if you live together, and put your lifelong happiness on such a person.

Then... I'm afraid there will be some risks.

Because this guy is obviously not a man who is rational, willing to live a simple life.

He is too generous when it comes to spending money, and too anxious to make money.

Although it is not a big problem, it would be best for this guy to marry a wife who can control him when he gets angry.

If Miyoko cannot be his master and control him, then it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

At least there will be problems with stability, and it is inevitable that we will have to worry more about his self-confidence and reckless temperament.

Take today's wedding for example.

It is decent enough, and it can be held in one of the "three major" high-end hotels in Tokyo. This level is awesome.

Even the wedding venue that Ning Weimin himself chose for his wedding in Japan is a five-star hotel of this level.

There are three towering champagne towers, which are stacked up to the bottom of the crystal chandelier.

The waiters have to use a triangular ladder to get champagne.

There are a variety of dishes, such as caviar from the Black Sea, French foie gras, Italian truffles, local sea bream and freshly made sushi.

But the problem is that such a place and such a luxurious scene cost a lot.

Just now, Ning Weimin asked the sales staff of the New Otani Hotel about the accommodation fee on the 15th floor, and also asked about the wedding banquet.

The reply he got was that the minimum charge for a standard room on the 15th floor was 90,000 yen per night.

There are three levels of wedding banquets, the lowest standard of meals is 30,000 yen per guest, and there are also 50,000 yen and 100,000 yen.

This means that the couple invited at least 100 guests today, and the money spent on today's wedding banquet is 3 million yen for meals alone.

This does not include the souvenirs for the guests, the money for the wedding company and the makeup company, which is obviously a loss-making business.

If, as Keiko said just now, the entire wedding process of the Japanese now is that the newlyweds first go to the shrine to hold the ceremony, and then go to the hotel to hold a Western-style wedding, the cost will be far beyond imagination.

If all the costs are not paid for the wedding banquet, the full wedding ceremony may cost about 6 million yen.

It can be said that Sakai Yujiro is a conscientious groom.

Not to mention the money for the gift, it is estimated that he will have to pay a large sum of money.

And the loss figure may be as high as 4 million yen.

This is not over yet.

You know, the Japanese also attach great importance to the whole set of "wedding anniversary photos".

This thing should be invented by the Japanese first. A seven- or eight-page photo album may not cost 100,000 yen.

And there is a honeymoon after marriage, so it is inevitable to travel once.

Nowadays, Japanese people are used to going to Europe and the United States, otherwise they will be looked down upon.

Both Sakai Yujiro and Miyoko are very fond of the "Hawaii six-day four-night honeymoon package" that the travel company is currently promoting. Although Yamato Tourism gave them a discount after Ning Weimin's introduction, and Ning Weimin also gave them two suitcases, they still have to spend about 700,000 yen.

If you add in various pocket money and other expenses during the trip, the total will be 400,000 yen.

With this calculation, Sakai Yujiro and Miyoko's wedding ceremony is a sky-high expense.

Just like Japan's current economy, it is enough to be proud of the world.

But then again, this is obviously beyond the financial capacity of the newlyweds.

Others may not know their financial situation, but Ning Weimin can still be clear?

He heard from Zuo Haiyoujiro that after being promoted to team leader, his monthly salary was about 350,000 yen, and his bonus every six months was about 700,000 to 800,000 yen.

In other words, the income that Zuo Haiyoujiro can guarantee is 5.7 million yen.

The rest depends on the commission from selling insurance.

Of course, the current economic situation is not bad, and Ning Weimin often takes care of Zuo Haiyoujiro.

In this way, with the commission income, he can have about 10 million yen every year, and I believe it will not be a problem to get promoted to the next level soon.

With his low academic qualifications, it is indeed not bad. He can barely enter the high-income class of Japanese society, which is a good situation in the middle class.

But we must also see that the two children from poor families came to Tokyo and relied on their own efforts to make a living. Although they caught up with the best time of Japan's economy, they were also engaged in the hot industry, and they made a lot of money by accident.

But the good days will not last for many years. When the Japanese economy collapses, their income will not be as good as it is now.

However, their union cannot ignore the nature of the weak alliance.

In other words, they will not be able to get help from their families in their future marriage life. Instead, they need to give back to two poor families.

Miyoko is better off. She only has one mother in her hometown.

The old man is in good health, and Rinko Kagawa helps to make up for it, so it is not a big burden.

But Sakai Yujiro is not so good. His father is sick because of long-term fatigue.

The older brother and sister in the family have limited financial ability because they make a living in their economically backward hometown.

His younger brother and sister are in school, and he has to take out some money from his salary every month to supplement the family expenses.

In this way, if they are burdened with a mortgage of 35 million yen, they have to pay at least 100,000 yen in interest every month. The financial burden of the couple can be imagined.

Their actual situation is far from as comfortable as it seems to outsiders. I am afraid that if they are not careful, they will fall into the embarrassing situation of not being able to make ends meet.

Although Ning Weimin also knew that when Miyoko left Aoyama Real Estate, she would receive a commission of more than 4 million yen.

But according to his estimation, this money might be the source of funds for the wedding of the newlyweds.

That is to say, after the marriage, the cash flow of Sakai Yujiro and Miyoko will be interrupted, and they may have a tight financial situation.

In fact, the most reasonable way is to let Miyoko continue to work.

This is the only way to fundamentally solve all their problems.

It's a pity that the Japanese are too rigid and feudal.

Most people always regard the wife's continued work after marriage as the husband's incompetence.

Sakai Yujiro is not as open-minded as Ning Weimin, who can ignore other people's strange eyes.

So Ning Weimin really has to say that from the perspective of the economic account, Sakai Yujiro's brain is like water.

He can't tell the big things from the small things, and he really deserves it.

But then again, who made this generation of Japanese catch up with such an exaggerated, vain and materialistic age?

If we blame everything on Yujiro Sakai, it seems to be a bit biased.

So how should we look at this problem?

In fact, we still have to look for the reasons from the changes of the times, the customs of Japanese society, and the national temperament.

When we studied history, we all learned that when Japan moved towards modernity, it was "reformed" instead of "revolutionary", so a lot of feudal remnants were retained.

Where are these feudal remnants reflected?

Specifically, various cumbersome and wasteful etiquette is one of them.

For example, getting married is a "feudal baptism" that every Japanese cannot escape.

Japanese weddings are very particular about pomp and extravagance.

When it comes to these wasteful problems, the Chinese can't catch up with the Japanese, and they are just a small matter.

In our Republic, the Chinese people do have stories like "three turns and one sound with a click" and "forty-eight legs", and there is also Shi Shengjie's cross talk about betrothal gifts.

But in fact, compared with the customs of Japan, what do these look like?

Chinese boys should shout Amitabha, so happy.

Perhaps some people think that this is because Chinese people are too poor now, and it will be different in a few decades.

At that time, in order to get married, our boys have to buy a house and a car, otherwise they will have no wife.

In fact, it is still the same.

Don't think that Japanese girls don't want houses or cars, and just want to find a good man to live with.

There will be such Japanese girls in 30 years, because the Japanese economy will be finished in 30 years.

At that time, the market of the Japanese marriage market will naturally collapse.

Why don't you try it in this era?

Ning Weimin knows best that Japanese girls in this era are the most expensive.

When Japanese women get married, they still want houses and cars, or even more, turning marriage into a "marriage kidnapping".

So the Japanese girls who promote style are not pure natural, but are also forged step by step in the footsteps of the times and affected by environmental changes.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, the Chinese dowry is at least a practical thing.

The money that the Japanese spend on marriage is all wasted.

All of it was taken away by big tigers like wedding companies and makeup companies.

In Japan, after a newlywed couple has a glorious wedding, it seems that the only thing left is the two pairs of rings they bought when they got engaged and married.

They are also made of platinum and inlaid with diamonds. They are quite expensive when they bought them, but they become worthless when they want to sell them.

Can you say that the IQ of the Japanese is online?

Perhaps many people think that Japan is a developed country and much richer than the Republic, so it is normal for them to spend so much money.

The quality of life they pursue is different.

In fact, this is even more of a fallacy.

You should know that the average monthly income of a 35-year-old employee in Japan is 3,000 US dollars, but the price of goods is five or six times higher than that in California.

The so-called "middle class" in Japan is not as good as China in the third world in many aspects of life, which can be seen from the consumption of fruits alone.

Therefore, there are often Japanese families who save for many years for their sons to get married, and eating kimchi is a common thing for newlywed families in Japan.

People like Yujiro Sakai and Miyoko, who were born in poor families, caught up with the great wave of the times, and both husband and wife chose the right career, are the lucky ones among the lucky ones.

Only in this way can they accumulate such objective wealth in a short period of time, enough for them to get married.

But all the money they have saved so hard is thrown on such a face-saving project. Isn't this stupid?

Moreover, this kind of wedding entertainment also takes up a lot of time for many Japanese people, which may be more costly than wasting money.

To put it bluntly, Ning Weimin has been in Japan for more than two years. He actually discovered a long time ago that the Japanese really have no overall view.

Most people are very thrifty in small matters, such as the habit of washing clothes with bath water, which only Japanese people can think of.

But in big matters, they often do everything for face.

Zuo Haiyoujiro is not the only Japanese who is willing to do such flashy things. There are too many Japanese like him. The national character of the Japanese is generally like this.

In the final analysis, perhaps it is still limited by the nature of a small country with few people.

Anyway, no matter what, no matter how good the relationship is, it needs financial support to maintain it.

Poor couples are sad about everything, and there is no filial son by the bed of a long-term patient. This is the wise saying summed up by the Chinese people for the major events that everyone must go through in life. It is the ability of the entire Chinese nation to see through the fog of time.

According to Ning Weimin's point of view, the key to the happiness of Zuo Haiyoujiro and Miyoko's marriage lies in one point.

That is, whether Zuo Haiyoujiro can fulfill his husband's duties and hand over his salary to his wife on time.

And Miyoko must have enough ability to manage the family's expenditure accounts.

If she can take care of her husband's family and her parents' family, give her husband pocket money, and arrange the normal expenses of the family with limited financial resources, then they will be a happy couple.

There is a high probability that they will grow old together and have an enviable and happy life.

Ning Weimin looked at the newlyweds in front of him who were deeply immersed in happiness, and suddenly remembered the scene when he first met them at Director Taniguchi's house.

At that time, who would have thought that the two of them would be able to get married.

I hope so. They are neither bad people, and they have come at a good time. Their chances of happiness are much higher than most people. Their destiny is always in their own hands.
