National Tide 1980.

After experiencing this farce that was like "training a dog", Ning Weimin did not dare to take it lightly.

Through two experiences of being "invited", he now has some understanding of Takahashi Oshinori's temper.

He could feel that this guy had a paranoid personality, and could basically conclude that he was the kind of person who had an extremely strong possessiveness and would not give up until he achieved his goal.

He also knows that it is useless to say nice things and be tolerant to such people. The other party will only think that you are weak and will take advantage of you further.

So Ning Weimin has his own rules on how to deal with such people.

You have to know that such people usually have big psychological problems. Their biggest weakness is their strong vanity, and the thing they can't stand the most is admitting their failure.

In pursuit of so-called great achievements, such people are often willing to do things at all costs, but they cannot see the deviation between the illusion of their goals and reality.

To put it bluntly, these people are just like the militarists of the past, living in their own delusions.

He has no self-awareness and does not know his own capabilities. He also likes to go to extremes and use brute force.

He is not as capable as Dior and Arnault of France. At least that guy is shrewd and knows how to calculate gains and losses.

In Ning Weimin's opinion, Takahashi Oshinori is a guy that couldn't be easier to deal with.

As the old saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, make him crazy first.

All you have to do is stimulate him as much as possible, lure him into going further and further down the wrong path, and then watch him perish because of his out-of-control behavior and emotions.

Who can blame this guy for his career success which is completely accidental? It is just a fluke created by a special historical period.

And since it is accidental and a mistake, it is destined to not be true for a long time and will be corrected sooner or later.

Needless to say, as the only person in the world who can predict when the economic bubble will burst, Ning Weimin certainly knows that Takahashi Oshinori is like a grasshopper after autumn, and he has at most half a year to jump around.

Although Ning Weimin was not very clear about the fate of Takahashi Oshinori in the original history.

But based on his current understanding of this guy's style of doing things, he knows that when the economic bubble bursts, the blow to this guy will be fatal.

There is a saying that goes, wealth earned by luck will be lost by strength.

This statement is very appropriate when applied to Takahashi Oshinori.

Therefore, precisely because of these reasons, Ning Weimin naturally completely lost the illusion that he could reason with the other party, and no longer had any idea of ​​"taking a step back and the sky will be wider".

This is why he went against his usual behavior and dared to use such means to play a trick on Matsuda in person, and did not hesitate to break up with the other party.

Of course, although we should despise our opponents strategically, we also need to pay attention to them tactically.

Ning Weimin was certain that if Takahashi Oshinori knew that the negotiations had collapsed again, and if he heard him say such words, he would be furious.

If he is not careful, he will engage in further irrational behavior, further increasing the financial cost of his misconduct.

Wouldn’t it be fun to wait until the economic bubble collapses?

But then again, he couldn't be 100% sure whether Takahashi Osaka's revenge would be limited to economic means.

After all, with Japan's current social situation so chaotic, who knows whether Takahashi Oshinori has any connection with violent groups?
If there is any involvement, and this guy is in an extremely angry mental state and sees that economic means are not effective, will he take some unconventional measures?
This is an issue that Ning Weimin needs to consider carefully, and he dare not be careless at all.

Just like that, after leaving the commercial building, Ning Weimin quickly contacted Maria.

I told her what happened today, and then suggested that Maria put aside her business in Japan and leave Japan for a while.

For example, visit the LVMH headquarters in France and take another vacation.

Needless to say, Maria was hesitant at first; she was reluctant to abandon her career in Japan.

He was worried that after his departure, both the foreign liquor store and the Chixia Club, whose originally prosperous businesses had plummeted.

But Ning Weimin said, "This little loss in business is nothing, personal safety is the first priority. There is no way, it is not easy to mess with crazy people, who made us catch up. In fact, it is not just you. For the sake of safety, I will also take my wife and children to France for a while. Of course, you will not be away from Japan for too long. I am sure that within a year at most, I can completely solve the problems in Japan. You can come back then. Besides, your going to France is not meaningless. I hope you can better understand the connotation of the LVMH brand, take this opportunity to seriously understand the current situation of the French luxury industry, and think about the business strategy in Japan. Maybe it won’t be long before I get the agency rights for all their products in Asia. By then, as long as you can prove your ability to me, you will not be the head of a foreign liquor store. Instead, you will be the general agent of LVMH in Japan. We will fully sell LVMH products in Japan, including Louis Vuitton."

These words are absolutely powerful.

If for no other reason, the best-selling luxury product in Japan right now is Louis Vuitton.

Maria is also a mama-san in Ginza. Not only is she a loyal customer of Louis Vuitton, but the female public relations staff around her are also loyal customers of Louis Vuitton.

She only needed to calculate how much money these people spent on this brand every month to make her heart beat faster.

Become the general agent of LVMH in Japan?
From now on, she will not only be able to sell Moët & Chandon's liquor to wealthy men all over Japan.

And he can sell Louis Vuitton to all the vain women in Japan.

In other words, all the wealthy people in Japan will "pay taxes" to her as the queen.

Such a beautiful picture and happy prospect are just like a tempting cake topped with honey, so sweet.

There was no way she could refuse the future that Ning Weimin described for her, and she was willing to bet everything she had on it, even if it meant becoming Ning Weimin's slave for life.

Let’s not talk about this matter. The cause was all hers. Although it cannot be said that she did anything wrong, the trouble was caused by her after all.

For this, she felt quite ashamed and sorry.

Now she just needs to listen to Ning Weimin, go to France to study hard and stay there for a while, and this problem can be solved. Why doesn't she go?
So Maria made the decision without further ado, expressed her gratitude, and then did exactly what Ning Weimin instructed.

A few days later, she decisively got a visa, packed her luggage and passport and flew directly from Osaka to Paris.

Ning Weimin also made arrangements for her at the LVMH headquarters in Paris, France. There will be a dedicated person to receive Maria and solve all problems for her accommodation and study in France.

As for Ning Weimin himself, he did not feel that he was being implicated for no reason, nor did he feel wronged for having to bear losses for a woman.

For him, as long as he is strong enough and can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, the roles of prey and hunter can be transformed.

To be honest, Takahashi Oshinori's secret restaurant is really good. Even though he has only been there once, he still misses it to this day.

But where can you buy a place like this with money?
Unless by chance, the owner goes bankrupt.

So he was not actually upset about being targeted by Takahashi Oshinori, because this guy was too fond of showing off and too stupid, a complete victim of the economic bubble.

No matter how vicious this guy is, this is just a matter of cutting leeks. How difficult can it be? It's just a simple move, right?
Being bullied is unpleasant, but being able to kill someone easily and then pick up the body at a cheap price is another matter.

Of course, it is also true that he himself would go to France to avoid the limelight.

However, this was not a matter that frightened him, nor was it that he deliberately left Japan, a place of trouble, purely for safety reasons.

The main reason is that thanks to the efforts of General Manager Pierre Bergé and years of planning, the Yves Saint Laurent Group finally passed its application, completed a series of necessary procedures, and is about to be listed on the Paris Stock Exchange.

Therefore, the Yves Saint Laurent headquarters in France had already sent an invitation letter to Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin in the name of Yves Saint Laurent and General Manager Pierre.

I hope they can come to Paris in May to attend the stock listing celebration. Originally, Ning Weimin just wanted to leave his children in Tokyo, and just go there with his wife to join in the fun and meet French friends.

He would stay for a week or two at most, take a short trip, and then return to Japan.

But now the situation has changed because of Takahashi Oshinori's unreasonable behavior.

Ning Weimin not only wanted to leave early and take his wife, daughter and the child's nanny with him, but he also wanted to stay in France for a longer period of time.

Especially now that he has more time, he can't help but start thinking, in addition to attending Yves Saint Laurent's launch event as originally planned, should he do something else during his trip to France?

For example, he would inspect his residence and assets in Paris, France, take his wife and children to visit his winery in the French countryside, and go to Saint-Tropez to see how Alain Delon's castle hotel and restaurant are doing.

By the way, take a look at the flea markets and auction markets across France to see if there are any valuable antiques that can be found.

Of course, he does not rule out cooperating with French stars and directors, investing in one or two films in France, and taking a share of the European and American film market.

In short, he is a person who cannot sit still. He will never waste time and spend this trip to France eating, drinking and having fun.

The only inconvenience caused by this is that things in Japan have to be arranged properly first, at least to ensure that there are no problems with one's main assets, otherwise one will not feel at ease when going there.

Moreover, Yin Yue’s itinerary will be affected to some extent.

Originally, Ning Weimin wanted Yin Yue to come to Japan to broaden his horizons, learn how fashion stores are run here, and avoid the domestic turmoil at the same time.

But he never expected that he would turn Japan into a place of trouble.

There is no other way. It seems that we can only send Yin Yue to the port city and let Axia send someone to entertain him.

…………

I have to say that Ning Weimin is quite good at judging people. Takahashi Oshinori is indeed a difficult person to get along with, and he also has a quick temper.

After Ning Weimin once again rejected his "good intentions" and taught his "dog a lesson", this guy began to retaliate.

The first thing that can be expected is that the business of Chixia Club and foreign liquor stores has been seriously disrupted.

Takahashi Oshinori's people were like extortionist gangs. They deliberately came to the club and the liquor store when they were doing business and demanded that the club and the liquor store move out as soon as possible.

They said they were conducting friendly negotiations and fulfilling their obligation to notify people by using courtesy before force, but in essence they were deliberately disrupting the business of the club and the liquor store.

After all, the Japanese hate trouble, and they instinctively dislike companies that are involved in trouble. When they saw that Chixia and the foreign liquor store were in trouble, they stayed away.

So although Takahashi Oshinori's move was despicable, it did work.

The business of the club and the liquor store immediately declined.

In addition, Maria has already gone to France and can no longer interfere in the affairs here.

As a result, customer loss became inevitable, and many old customers simply stopped coming.

In addition to the rapid loss of book wealth at the club and the liquor store, the employees who did not know the reason were also inevitably worried.

However, Ning Weimin himself had expected all this and he had thought it through clearly.

The worst that could happen is that the two companies won't make any money for another half a year. Compared to the huge property losses that Takahashi Oshinori might have to endure, he can totally bear it.

So his response was very simple. He talked to the key members of the two companies, appeased their hearts by improving their salaries, and then arranged the legal proceedings to the law firm that served him.

Let them sue the EIE Group and start arguing with Takahashi Oshinori's real estate company over their legal rights as tenants.

Ning Weimin had calculated everything. Even the lost profits plus the legal costs would only amount to a few billion yen, or 20 million US dollars.

He didn't expect to get the money back from Takahashi Oshinori, but with his current financial ability, he had no pressure at all to afford it.

At most, the Chixia Club closed down, Maria went into hiding, and the whole thing ended in a mess, which made Axia a little unhappy.

Of course, he also knew that Axia definitely didn't care about the loss of money.

The key point is that the Chixia Club was founded by her and was named after her.

The business was booming originally, but now it's in this state because of Ning Weimin and the people he introduced. Ah Xia, who was completely innocently implicated, naturally wouldn't be happy.

So Ning Weimin felt a little embarrassed about this, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the trouble to explain everything to Axia.

Secondly, as the new owner of Yamato Kanko, Takahashi Osunori not only ordered the immediate termination of cooperation with Daito Trading Company, but he was also very obedient and bought the commercial building where Daito Trading Company was located as Ning Weimin said.

Then they used the same old trick to clear Dadao Trading Company out of the commercial building.

However, he did not expect that this matter was of no importance to Ning Weimin.

Because in fact, since many Japanese luggage companies have purchased the patent for trolley suitcases from Ning Weimin, their products have begun to be marketed through their commercial channels. Ning Weimin's original business model of relying on travel agencies to bring goods has long been unpopular.

Even if Takahashi Oshinori had not intervened, Ning Weimin wanted to take the initiative to end his cooperation with Yamato Kanko this year.

Now is just the right time. Ning Weimin took advantage of the situation and contacted mail-order agencies. He began to make print advertisements for his products and tried to sell them through mail-order channels.

Moreover, he changed the channels and no longer only sold trolley suitcases. He also sold the popular easy-to-pull ties and an easy-to-pull belt for which he had just submitted a patent application through mail-order channels.

This easy-to-pull belt is made of a mixture of elastic and leather. Although it has a simple structure, it can be used to reduce the waist of loose pants anytime and anywhere. Naturally, it is also an idea plagiarized by Ning Weimin.

Unexpectedly, this thing became a huge hit as soon as it was launched. It directly hit the pain points of young people in Japan who love to wear jeans. It sold like crazy and unexpectedly became a hot item in the mail order channel.

As a result, Ning Weimin had to find the Japanese factory to place additional orders in order to ensure the delivery requirements.

So from a practical point of view, the termination of cooperation with Yamato Tourism not only had no negative impact on Ning Weimin, but also allowed him to earn more money, while also saving him from the embarrassment of social relationships.

No matter how you look at it now, it was Yamato Kanko that owed him a favor, not him who owed Yamato Kanko.

As for the harassment at the office, it had no effect on Dadao Trading Company.

Don't forget that in addition to the fact that Daidao Trading Company's business model is to deal only with mail-order companies, its employees are all old, weak, and sick.

Those disabled people and housewives value their jobs very much.

What's more, most of them had already been harassed by gangs when they worked in the apartment in Akasaka.

Relatively speaking, EIE's tricks have little effect on them, just like tickling.

On the contrary, they treated visitors with courtesy and provided them with tea and coffee, which made those who came to cause trouble feel quite uncomfortable.

Usually, after chatting with the people from the Big Knife Trading Company for a short while, the troublemakers would be aroused by these people with missing limbs and start to feel ashamed and guilty.

Then they lost their morale and retreated in frustration. (End of this chapter)
