1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 448: The Watanabe Wives Group is still in its infancy
Rumor has it: There was Auntie first and then there was Heaven, and Watanabe was before Auntie.

The "aunties" here, of course, refer to the Chinese aunties who once spent their money shopping all over the world, and "Watanabe" refers to the once famous Watanabe wives.

Of course, these housewives, who account for nearly one-third of the trading volume in the island country's foreign exchange margin market and are the most influential in the global foreign exchange market, only became famous in the overseas financial market after 1, when the island country's benchmark interest rate began to gradually rush towards zero.

At this critical juncture in 1990, although the Watanabe wives' group had already taken shape and had grown to a considerable size, they were at this point just a group of little women who focused more on the domestic situation and were at a loss as to what to do about the falling exchange rate and turbulent stock market.

………………

Like most middle-class housewives at that time, Araki Yoshiko in her apartment was watching the red and green stock market curves and groups of numbers on TV with great annoyance.

For her, who holds the family's financial power, it doesn't matter what time her husband comes home today, it doesn't matter whether that man will suddenly die from endless overtime work, it doesn't matter whether her husband will have an affair outside...it doesn't even matter whether that loser will pay his dues to her tonight.

The important thing is, if the stocks I bought continue to fall like this, and if the financial products I bought continue to lose money, then let alone my Hawaii vacation plan next month, even whether I can pay off my mortgage on time in the future will become a big problem.

Araki Yoshiko turned off the TV so as not to be bothered. She was just about to change her clothes and go to the beauty salon to relax when the phone in the living room rang.

"Hi~! This is the Araki family."

Araki Yoshiko's voice was extremely calm, and even her face showed a standard Yamato Nadeshiko smile as if to follow the performance. She was completely different from the manic one before.

"Ryoko, I'm Tomomi!"

"Quick! Turn on the TV and switch to NHK. There's a good show on there... Watch it first, I'll come over to visit you in a bit!"

A casual and slightly urgent voice came from the phone.

NHK?

Araki Yoshiko was stunned. Although she was wondering why this guy looked so hurried, she didn't care about his rather rude tone of voice.

The woman who called was named Torii Tomomi, also a housewife, and lived in an apartment not far from her home.

But it is not important.

Importantly, like many middle-class housewives in Tokyo today, Araki Yoshiko joined many clubs to kill time in her boring life.

Community Women's Friends Club, Flower Arrangement Club, Cooking Exchange Club, Beauty Club, etc.

Well, it doesn't really matter.

Importantly, Araki Yoshiko is also a member of the FL Financial Management Club and the Second Category Life Club, and Torii Tomomi is also a member of these two clubs.

Of these two clubs, the former is a formal financial exchange club where members not only meet regularly to share investment experiences, but also share stock trend analysis, economic data from various countries, foreign exchange, economic intelligence, and even individual members’ investment performance reports during gatherings.

As for the latter... it is a club that advocates "self-living" and is actually not that serious. There are many members who advocate the "daytime wife" lifestyle.

So why Torii Tomomi is so close to Araki Yoshiko... you know.

"Youmei this guy!"

Araki Yoshiko hung up the phone, thought about it, and finally turned on the TV again.

She didn't obey Torii Tomomi obediently just because she knew that she was indulging herself in men outside. In fact, unlike what many people think, due to the legal provisions, when a woman in the island country gets married, it is equivalent to getting a property division voucher. For such a trivial matter as cheating, her husband would definitely not be willing to give up half of the family property and divorce her...Besides, it was Torii Tomomi who instigated her to seek excitement, and she was the first to do so. How could she have the confidence and face to threaten her?
The reason they did so was that, on the one hand, they had shared several group orgies and their relationship was closer than that of other members;

On the other hand, I was extremely bored today. I wanted to go to the beauty salon just to relax. But since Youmei is coming soon and she hurriedly reminded me to watch NHK, I would like to see what that guy is doing.

When she turned the TV to the NHK channel, the program "Asian Games Special Delivery. Chinese Culture Revealed" was recorded the day before yesterday, broadcast last night, and replayed today. It happened to broadcast the live performance of "Forbidden Garden".

Looking at the stage on the screen with great artistic rendering effects and full of Han Dynasty elements, Araki Yoshiko, who was not qualified to dine at Moyazhai, was immediately distracted... Cultural aesthetics is something that has different levels. It is not affected by the wealth gap between individuals or groups, and the ability to distinguish such gaps is naturally in human DNA. Therefore, under the huge crushing level, Araki Yoshiko, who truly witnessed the shocking power of Chinese traditional culture for the first time, felt a sense of horror in her bones.

As the radiant girl, dressed in an apricot-white dress with a radiant aura and a heroic look that outsiders could not imitate, appeared in the close-up shot, the solemn and murderous opening drum beats hit Araki Yoshiko's heart hard, making her hold her breath.

As the drum beats became more and more intense, the fierce pressure from the swords made Araki Ryoko almost unable to breathe...

A few light and casual short notes of the guzheng passed by, and the atmosphere of the whole song suddenly changed in a very mysterious way;
A high-pitched piccolo sounded. It was just the beginning. It was obviously a festive tune, but the three consecutive notes created a beautiful, gorgeous, yet majestic and tragic feeling...

………………

Twenty minutes later.

As the doorbell rang, Araki Yoshiko, as if she had lost her soul, mechanically got up and opened the door, then led in a housewife who was dressed quite elegantly.

Seeing Araki Ryoko's absent-minded look, Torii Tomomi laughed with emotion, then took out a thick, oversized envelope from her bag and handed it to her: "I knew it would be like this... I'll give it to you!"

Araki Ryoko was stunned, and looked at the thick envelope hesitantly: "Tomomi, what is this...?"

Torii Tomomi chuckled and placed the oversized envelope on the coffee table: "This is the 'Chinese Culture Unveiled' that I recorded. I watched it last night... I knew that no one could refuse such a wonderful program!"

NHK's "The Secret of Chinese Culture"?
Did you record it?

Araki Ryoko looked at Torii Tomomi in surprise, and reached out to touch it in a rather inappropriate manner. As expected, she found that the envelope was hard and it was obviously a videotape. She immediately became excited: "Tomomi... Thank you, thank you so much!"

It's no wonder that Araki Yoshiko was so excited. As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. With the current economic level of the island country, middle-class housewives like them actually have a pretty good ability to appreciate art... In fact, the island country's unique group culture and community social culture also determine that the ability to appreciate art will inevitably become one of the social currencies of these middle-class housewives.

Therefore, unlike those young people who do not have much social experience and appear to be impetuous and rebellious as a whole, housewives like Araki Yoshiko who often get together to share and show off their knowledge in various aspects, in fact, not only prefer instrumental music, but can also basically appreciate the quality of a piece of music.

Obviously, the song "Forbidden Garden" we just heard on TV is the best choice, both in terms of grandeur and beauty of melody... Most importantly, the size of the country and its historical heritage determine the pattern of music. The tragic grandeur hidden in the joy of this song is certainly in line with the self-pity in the bones of the islanders, but the island country with a small territory is absolutely incapable of creating such magnificent music (the island country's first Chinese court-style pure music "Memories of the Forbidden City" was not created until 96, and there has been controversy as to whether it was original or re-created from ancient Chinese court music that was lost due to a certain period of history).

It can be said that after just listening to the beginning, Araki Yoshiko was completely captivated, and then fell into a state of almost dazed trembling. She listened to the entire piece of music in a daze, her whole body trembling slightly, with a sense of loss and a flushed aftertaste.

You have to know that in the past year, these housewives from middle-class families have been living a very difficult life. Although they have no worries about food and clothing thanks to their husbands' extremely generous salaries and the savings in their passbooks, they are facing a serious crisis of asset shrinkage, especially the high mortgage crisis.

Therefore, as the actual controller of the family property, Araki Yoshiko has been in a very confused and anxious state... This is also one of the main reasons why she has been so manic during this period and has increased her wanton indulgence.

After listening to the song "Forbidden Garden", although she felt a sense of loss, her mental state was inexplicably relieved. This feeling made her unable to stop.
So, although the videotape sent by Torii Tomomi looks like a very ordinary little gift, it is worth a fortune to people like Araki Yoshiko... You have to know that the island country nowadays still attaches great importance to copyright. For songs like "Forbidden Garden" that have not been officially released, if you don't have the opportunity to record the program, you can't buy the album even if you have money.

In fact, this is also the effect Yang Mo hopes to see... With the bursting of the island country's economic bubble, "therapeutic music" with a slightly sad tone and pure music as the main carrier began to gradually appear throughout the 90s and the millennium. It quickly became crazily sought after in the island country, and surpassed a number of European and American music, firmly occupying the highest position in the ecology; "Original Scenery of Hometown", "Big Snake", "Distant Journey", "Wonderful Bird", "Thinking of Zen", etc., which were regarded as eternal classics in later generations, are all like this.

What he wanted to do was to take the lead at this subtle turning point and occupy this cultural niche... As an artistic form with the least communication barriers, music, especially pure music with ample blank space, plays a vital role in cultural wars. It is not difficult to see from the "Korean Wave" that was once extremely popular in later generations that once this cultural export advantage is formed, it contains various benefits and huge commercial value.

Obviously, judging from the reactions of Torii Tomomi and Araki Yoshiko, Yang Mo made the right move. At this special time when the economy and public consciousness of the island country are gradually undergoing a huge turning point, a therapeutic music that is more magnificent, more in line with the East Asian cultural outlook, more naturally approachable, and has strong ancient Chinese elements will undoubtedly have a greater impact on the soul.

………………

"Thank you, Youmei. If it weren't for the videotape you sent me, I would probably have sleepless nights again tonight... I'm so sorry to have asked you to come all the way here."

Araki Yoshiko expressed her gratitude again very sincerely.

Torii Tomomi covered her mouth and laughed: "We are all friends, why are you being so formal?"

Then he changed the subject: "By the way, Liangzi, have you read the news? The exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the US dollar has fallen to 156:1."

Araki Ryoko's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this: "I already know... Hey, the stocks I hold are also falling... These days, when will it end?"

Although generally speaking, the depreciation of the domestic currency is beneficial to exports, so as long as it is controlled within a certain level, it can stimulate benefits to a certain extent; but the problem is that in the past year, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen has fluctuated too much. Due to the particularity of the island country itself, this rule does not apply to this country... The island country is a country that relies heavily on imported resources. The depreciation of the domestic currency can stimulate exports on the surface, but at the same time, it also means that the prices of imported raw materials have risen sharply. With this in and out, exports have increased on the surface, but in fact, the manufacturing companies in the island country have become less profitable.

Therefore, as the exchange rate of the Japanese yen hits a new low, the stock prices of those companies in the stock market that no longer have sufficient good news to support them continue to fall. Even if they spend more money to support the market and make the paper data look good through various means, it is useless.
However, the real estate market in the island country is still strong at this time. The price of new apartments in Tokyo has risen against the trend from 400 million yen/tsubo (approximately 3.3 square meters) last year to a historical high of nearly 500 million yen/tsubo.

With the increase and decrease, a group of middle-class housewives represented by Araki Yoshiko are living in dire straits.

Torii Tomomi, whose stocks also plummeted, showed no worry on her face: "Speaking of which, Yoshiko, if the family assets continue to shrink like this, I guess those two donkeys and horses in our family will really get angry... So, we can't continue to fight in the stock market like this!"

The "donkeys and horses" mentioned by Torii Tomomi naturally refer to their husbands. In the 0s in the island country, the status of urban women was unprecedentedly improved. They had no worries about work and income. Not only did they have three wallets to spend unconditionally before marriage, but even after getting married, you basically never saw the kind of plots in movies and TV dramas where the husband beats and scolds his wife... On the contrary, the women in the island country, which was still in version T at this time, had a lot of initiative. Not to mention that the husband's monthly salary had to be handed over in full and the wife would redistribute the pocket money, they were sometimes privately contemptuous of being called "donkeys and horses who are only fit to work overtime in the company."

Hearing what Torii Tomomi meant, Araki Yoshiko looked at her in surprise: "Tomomi, have you found another good way?"

Later generations' cognition of the Watanabe wives is mostly based on a stereotyped impression, thinking that they only know how to trade foreign exchange;

In fact, the so-called "Watanabe Wives Group" is not only composed of middle-class housewives, but also includes many home-bound men; and they are not only good at foreign exchange trading, but also stocks, futures, gold, and artworks, and even MLM, scalpers, and community brokers. They are involved in all businesses that can make money... Obviously, even if the Watanabe Wives Group is just a prototype today, they have covered all the businesses that can be involved.

So, when Araki Yoshiko heard Torii Tomomi advise her not to fight hard in the stock market, her first reaction was that the other party had found some new way to make money.

Hmm...I have to say, this scene is very familiar.

Torii Tomomi heard this and pointed to the videotape in the large envelope. "Ryoko, I rushed over here today because I really have something good to do with you... Do you know where this NHK special program is recorded?"

Araki Ryoko was a little surprised: "I know, it's the famous Moyasai... This restaurant, which is famous for its super luxurious cuisine, has been very famous over the past year. It's a pity that people like us don't even have the qualifications to apply for membership, let alone go in and enjoy a meal."

Seeing the envy and yearning expression on Araki Yoshiko's face, Torii Tomomi smiled meaningfully, but the topic took a 180-degree turn: "Yoshiko, do you still remember those hateful women in the FL Financial Club who were showing off in front of us all day long?"

Araki Ryoko was a little confused: "Of course I remember, but what does this have to do with the new way you just mentioned?"

Torii Tomomi waved her hand: "Of course it matters... Do you remember how those women were able to share their success stories in front of us?"

Araki Ryoko was a little depressed: "Of course I remember, didn't I just buy a few medical stocks that were originally mediocre but have been rising against the trend recently... It was purely a blind cat catching a dead mouse, it has nothing to do with whether my vision is accurate or not!"

Torii Tomomi nodded: "That's right, those women were just lucky. They accidentally bought some shares of Sankyo Pharmaceutical and Daiichi Pharmaceutical two years ago... But do you know why the stock prices of these companies have risen against the trend during this period?"

Araki Ryoko was even more puzzled: "What's so strange about this? The newspapers all said that China has developed the technology to artificially cultivate Phellinus, and Sankyo Co., Ltd. has cooperated with China to build a large-scale artificial Phellinus cultivation base. It is said that they have now made additional investments to expand the Phellinus cultivation base to 15 acres... With such great good news, how could the stock price not rise?"

Torii Tomomi nodded again: "Everyone knows that those artificial mulberry yellows have not been fully cultivated yet. Everyone is optimistic about the future of this project. The reason why the stocks of Tsumura Pharmaceutical and Otsuka Pharmaceutical, which are also rising in the hands of those women, are also rising is actually because these pharmaceutical companies have received a large number of futures orders for artificial mulberry yellows, and then announced that they will also enter the field of anti-cancer drug research and development;"

"So...in fact, those Coriolus futures orders from China are the real key, right?"

Araki Yoshiko pondered: "Youmei, what you mean is... you have a way to get those futures orders for Coriolus versicolor?"

China's artificial Coriolus versicolor adopts the property rights financial transaction model. Therefore, in this game of passing the parcel with obviously much lower risks, the Coriolus versicolor futures orders that are split up, some of which circulate in the futures market and some of which circulate in society, are the valuable objects with unlimited potential at the moment.

However, at this special moment, the futures orders of Coriolus versicolor have been hyped up to a price that is daunting to ordinary people. Therefore, even if middle-class housewives like Araki Yoshiko have a lot of funds at their disposal, they are definitely not qualified to get involved in this game.

Torii Tomomi shook her head when she heard this. "I checked before I came here. Because a large number of pharmaceutical companies have started to inquire about orders, the price of even Class B artificial Coriolus versicolor in the futures market has risen to $160 per kilogram... But even so, there is not much trading volume, which shows that this price is far from everyone's psychological price. People who have goods on hand are unwilling to close their positions at this time;"

"When these pharmaceutical companies are rushing to create good news to stabilize stock prices, retail investors like us, if the funds in our hands are less than 5 million yen, are not even eligible to enter the market. I will definitely not be stupid enough to invest all my wealth in it...Besides, everyone knows that the Coriolus versicolor orders in the futures market are only suitable for large-scale transactions. The most valuable ones are the Coriolus versicolor futures orders that are only circulated among the people. So even if I really have money, I will not wade into this muddy water in the futures market!"

Araki Ryoko became more confused as she listened: "Tomomi, what do you mean...?"

Torii Tomomi smiled proudly: "Although we are not qualified to participate in the futures orders of artificial Coriolus versicolor, we can take advantage of the popularity of the concept of artificial Coriolus versicolor and make a fortune through other means, right?"

At this point, Torii Tomomi patted the videotape and said, "I asked someone to check. Moyazhai and Dahua, the company responsible for providing artificial mulberry cultivation technology and building a mulberry cultivation base, are important business partners. Dahua is also a major shareholder of Moyazhai. "

"According to the information I have inquired, out of some convention, whether you want to resell your artificial Coriolus versicolor futures orders privately or want to negotiate with Dahua Company through Sankyo Co., Ltd. about the subsequent Coriolus versicolor base expansion plan, everyone will tacitly choose Moyazhai as the negotiation location. It is even said that many companies will hold the signing ceremony specifically in Moyazhai. "

"You have to know that Phellinus versicolor, which is said to have the best anti-cancer effect in nature, is now the hottest concept stock. There are countless individuals and companies that want to purchase artificial Phellinus versicolor futures orders or directly participate in subsequent cooperation projects. Therefore, Moyazhai is now extremely popular. Everyone wants to get in... If you are lucky enough to get a share, you will be rich; even if you are not so lucky, getting to know one or two noble people is a great opportunity that countless people can't get."

Araki Yoshiko sighed depressedly after hearing this: "But even if you know, what does it matter? The membership threshold of Moyazhai is ridiculously high, and the number of members is strictly limited. Even if you are willing to spend money, it will be useless if you can't get in."

Torii Tomomi smiled strangely: "That was in the past, but things are different now."

Araki Ryoko looked at her in surprise: "Does this mean that Moyasai plans to expand its membership? Or do they plan to open new branches?"

Torii Tomomi shook her head: "That's not the case. Moyazhai's investment is staggering. How can it be so easy to open a branch?"

Araki Ryoko was a little discouraged: "What does that have to do with us?"

Torii Tomomi covered her mouth and laughed: "Although there is no plan to open a branch for the time being, they are planning to issue a one-time invitation card... Although a one-time invitation card is not a membership card, this is also a rare opportunity!"

A one-time invitation card?
Araki Yoshiko looked at her with a strange expression. A super high-end restaurant like Moyazhai, which has the nature of a club, is all about circles and top names. But now you tell me that they are going to skip the membership and directly issue one-time banquet cards... Are you sure you are not kidding?

Seeing this, Torii Tomomi smiled proudly: "Speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with the upcoming Sino-Japanese Cultural Festival;"

"As I said before, Dahua Company is the major shareholder of Moyazhai. The fact that Moyazhai has become a popular high-end cuisine brand in Tokyo in just one year is actually due to the help of Dahua Company. "

"The cultural exchange group from China this time is led by a group of senior executives from Dahua Company... Well, please note that the senior executives mentioned here are not the senior executives in the ordinary sense, but the senior executives who can directly issue any orders and are on an equal footing with the presidents of large companies such as Sankyo Corporation!"

Can you be on par with the president of such a large company?

hiss~
Araki Yoshiko, who grew up in an island country with strict class systems, took a deep breath.

Torii Tomomi saw her like this and smiled even more proudly: "Chinese people are all very proud. It is said that the leader of the Dahua Company, in order to make this Sino-Japanese Cultural Festival a grand event, not only brought the best artists from China, but also planned to use the influence of Moyazhai to spread Chinese culture."

As she spoke, Torii Tomomi pointed to the videotape and said, "Yes, the beautiful artist who performed the finale of the show is a member of the Chinese Cultural Exchange Group this time... It is said that the song "Forbidden Garden" performed live was also requested by the senior executives of Dahua Company to be performed in advance, just to show her face on TV."

At this point, Torii Tomomi sighed with emotion: "I have to say that China is indeed a mysterious country with a long history. Although the actions of Dahua's executives are indeed a bit eager for quick success, I have to say that this piece of music is too shocking... After I recorded it last night, I listened to it over 20 times and I still can't get over it."

Shaking her head, Torii Tomomi threw out the words she wanted to say, and then returned to the topic: "According to a senior who works at NHK TV, everyone who saw this special program yesterday was stunned, just like me. The ratings at the end of the program soared to an extremely high level of 4.1%. The TV station's phone was almost blown up, and all the callers were asking for a replay of the program;"

"Under such circumstances, it is said that the senior executives of Dahua Company were greatly inspired, so they asked Moyazhai to open up the live viewing qualifications so that more people can feel the shock of Chinese culture... According to them, they were very dissatisfied with the music effects presented on the TV program, and believed that the real effect was not even half of the live effect, so they insisted that Moyazhai open up the live viewing qualifications."

"But this will put Moyazhai in a difficult position. Everyone knows that this approach will do more harm than good to a high-end restaurant brand like Moyazhai. However, Dahua Company is the major shareholder of Moyazhai and is also a state-owned enterprise in China. We have to carefully consider their suggestions. "

"So, it is said that after the board members of Moyazhai had a hard time communicating for a whole night, both sides finally made a concession... Moyazhai will still open up the qualification for on-site viewing in accordance with Dahua Company's requirements, but the number of places is not unlimited, and the qualification must also be reviewed... although the qualification standard is much lower than that of members."

"So, in the end, it became what I just said... a one-time banquet invitation card!"

Speaking of this, Torii Tomomi's face was all red with excitement. "These one-time invitation cards are issued by a number of companies such as NHK TV, Moyasai, Sankyo Co., Ltd., so I can also get a small part of them through the senior from NHK TV... The number is said to be as high as 6000. Although they are divided into 12 months, and each card clearly stipulates the specific time, one day earlier or one day later will not work, but Yoshiko, you should know what such an invitation card means!"

Araki Yoshiko also felt hot all over after hearing this.

Of course she knew what this invitation card meant. It was not an invitation card at all, it was clearly a pile of green banknotes!
You have to understand that the more strictly hierarchical the place is, the fewer channels there are for upward mobility, the fewer channels for contacting higher levels, and the more precious opportunities are. Therefore, even if there is no factor of artificial Coriolus polyphylla futures orders involved, being able to get a chance to leap to a higher level and make friends with noble people is priceless.

Besides, it doesn't matter even if you don't have the chance to make friends with important people in the end. The unique values ​​and social patterns of the island nation dictate that as long as you can get a one-time invitation card to Moyazhai, you will be the queen in your social circle, and everyone will look at you with envy and jealousy... For island women who attach great importance to face and have an indescribable vanity, it is definitely worth it even if you have to spend 10 million yen!

Therefore, in this case, these one-time banquet cards of Moyazhai have extremely strong circulation value and premium space... In other words, it has both social currency value and financial value.

Araki Yoshiko, who once worked part-time as a scalper, knew about the other party's subsequent plans after hearing that Torii Tomomi had a way to get a small batch of one-time invitation cards from her seniors at NHK.
In just three seconds, Araki Yoshiko even thought about how many invitation cards should be sold and how many should be kept in the first batch, who they should be sold to, how much they should be sold for, and how much the price should be increased for the second and third batches of invitation cards.

"Youmei, from today on, you will be my best sister forever!"

"Don't worry, no matter how much you spend on the one-time banquet card from your seniors at NHK, I will cover 60% of it!"

"Hurry up, go call that senior and ask him how many he has. Let's buy as many as he has... Hurry! Hurry! If we're late and someone else buys them all, we'll lose a lot of money!"

Araki Ryoko dropped her previous disguise as a Yamato Nadeshiko and urged him impatiently.
Finally, he used his ultimate move: "Youmei, don't worry, as long as you can buy enough banquet cards from that senior, tonight... I will introduce two men to you, the kind with super good physical strength!"

………………

at the same time.

In a hot spring hotel with a nice environment, Yang Mo, wearing a bathrobe, was sitting on the tatami somewhat awkwardly, flipping through the documents on the low table.

"Oh? In just one morning, 200 one-time banquet invitation cards were issued at a price of million yen per card?"

"Haha, the circles on this island country interact very quickly!"

Yang Mo held his chin in his hand, as if thinking about whether he should give out more one-time invitation cards.

Bao Shuxian, who was helping with the statistics, broke out in a cold sweat: "Boss, please don't mess around. If you hadn't insisted, Moyazhai would only dare to issue 6000 invitation cards at most. It's already exaggerated that you raised the number to 1.5 in one go. If you increase it again, I think Moyazhai will really go crazy!"

At this point, Bao Shuxian thought about it with some pain: "But then again, it's too easy to make money here in the island country. In fact, if you want to make more money, you might as well adjust the price of a batch to 300 million, or even 350 million yen per card. I estimate that even if it is adjusted to 350 million yen per card, there will be no problem in selling them. There is no need to issue more banquet cards than the quota."

Hearing this, Yang Mo just smiled, with a confident look on his face: "Don't worry, even though we have released 1.5 cards in one go, if people can really come to eat according to the time on the card, 6000 cards will be the maximum... This thing has many derivative uses, and the biggest part is not its real paper value."

"As for the price increase... Haha, I'm not releasing these one-time invitation cards just to make money. My biggest goal is to turn them into a hot social currency and a means of conveying value... If you set the price of a batch too high, it will seriously affect the circulation speed and value transmission frequency of these invitation cards. It's not worth it to lose the big picture for the small one!"

Bao Shuxian, who had no chance to witness the operation mode of Crab Card in later generations, was stunned. He didn't understand where his boss got so much confidence from, but since Yang Mo said so, he could only believe it.

Miss Mu, who was working on the data, finally finished calculating the formula and then raised her body and breathed a sigh of relief: "With the funds recovered from these one-time banquet cards today, our budget is completely fine... Yang Mo, I want to speed up the market preheating plan tomorrow, what do you think?"

Yang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Logically, you are the one who decides your own affairs, and I shouldn't interfere too much. But since you asked... In my opinion, if we wait until the cultural festival is over before pushing forward, with multiple circles and multiple factors working together, the effect should be much better."

Wait until the cultural festival is over?
Do you mean we have to wait three more days?
Miss Mu thought seriously for a while, and finally smiled: "Okay... I'll listen to you!"

(End of this chapter)
