Tokyo International Airport.

The air is crisp in autumn, the sun is shining brightly, and white clouds are floating in the blue sky.

The temperature is around 20 degrees, which is just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

An international flight from Shanghai landed slowly, slid across the long runway, and stopped.

Passengers walked out of the airport one after another.

Among the people of various skin colors, there was a man and a woman with particularly eye-catching Chinese faces. The man was tall and handsome, with a three-quarter hair style and his hair was neatly combed. He was wearing a white shirt and navy blue trousers.

Get black and shiny

She wore leather shoes and a dark blue windbreaker. The woman wore a long floral dress with a white bottom and a thin knitted cardigan. She had bright eyes and white teeth, exquisite embossed hair, pure and lustful

of.

The woman lifted her waist-length hair. The volume of her hair was amazing, black and shiny, long and smooth.

She tilted her head and looked at the handsome man beside her: "Brother-in-law, where do we live?"

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Wenjuan, isn't it too late for you to ask now? There are many tourists in Tokyo, and hotel rooms are usually full if you don't book them."

"No way? Brother-in-law, then we have to sleep in the underground passage?" Li Wenjuan laughed like a silver bell.

"Haha!" Wang Lin laughed, "Aren't you feeling aggrieved by sleeping with your brother-in-law in the bridge cave?"

"No, as long as I'm with my brother-in-law, I'm happy. It doesn't matter if I eat vegetables or live in a thatched hut."

"Wenjuan, don't worry. If you follow my brother-in-law, I will only let you eat spicy food. Before traveling, we must make a travel strategy because the earth is very big, and the customs and weather of every country, city, and city are different."

Same thing. I’ve booked a hotel a long time ago.”

"Oh, I knew it, just follow my brother-in-law."

The two of them didn't have much luggage. They didn't bring suitcases. Each of them only had a change of clothes, a camera, and some necessary daily necessities. Each of them had a backpack.

In Wang Lin's words, when we arrive in the world's second largest economy, it is enough for us to bring money, and we can buy everything there.

Li Wenjuan and Wang Lin came to Tokyo last time, but mainly for inspection. They just took a quick look at various scenic spots without taking a closer look.

This time, Wang Lin and Li Wenjuan came simply for tourism. Their entire itinerary planned to visit famous scenic spots in Japan.

So this time Wang Lin did not bring the vice president or secretary.

The two walked out of the airport.

Li Wenjuan suddenly pointed at a person: "Brother-in-law, isn't that your driver Uncle Zhong? Why is he in Tokyo?"

That person was none other than Uncle Zhong.

When Uncle Zhong used to follow Tang Jixian, he had already applied for a Xiangjiang passport because he often accompanied Boss Tang to go abroad.

Wang Lin first arranged for Uncle Zhong to arrive in Tokyo.

When he takes Li Wenjuan on a trip, of course he must have a bodyguard by his side.

After Uncle Tadashi arrived in Tokyo, he first contacted Sachiko and arranged the hotel room.

Sachiko arranged a car and a driver for Wang Lin.

Uncle Zhong came with the driver to pick up Wang Lin's plane.

Li Wenjuan smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, hello!"

"Mr. Wang, Miss Li." Uncle Zhong said respectfully, "The car is ready. Miss Xingzi was unable to come to greet her because of something unexpected. She asked me to apologize to Mr. Wang."

Wang Lin smiled and said: "She has arranged everything for us, thank her. Let's go."

The driver is a middle-aged man who doesn't speak much and can speak some simple Chinese.

Wang Lin and the others came to Sachiko's hotel in Ginza.

Sachiko really had nothing to say about her friend Wang Lin, and arranged a large suite for him. The suite had two separate rooms, a living room, and each room had a separate balcony.

Uncle Zhong's room was arranged opposite Wang Lin and the others. As long as he opened the door, he could keep an eye on what was going on in Wang Lin's room at any time.

Wang Lin and Li Wenjuan checked into the hotel and put their luggage away.

"Brother-in-law, this room is really nice." Li Wenjuan put down her luggage and ran to Wang Lin's room.

"What's so good about it? I think it's just average."

"It's a good thing we live together!" Li Wenjuan smiled sweetly. She thought she would live in two different rooms with Wang Lin, but she didn't expect the two of them to live together. She couldn't be happier.

Wang Lin couldn't understand her feelings at all.

He went to the balcony.

Just outside is the bustling commercial center of Ginza.

The early 1990s was the peak period of development in the East, but it has stagnated since then. This is generally the case for the old Western developed countries. When industrial civilization develops to a certain level, it will stagnate or even regress. I don’t know if it is because of the constraints of the system? Or is it industry?

Has civilization itself reached its limit? This social problem is too big to be discussed by Wang Lin.

Ginza was once a symbol of Oriental wealth. Before the real estate bubble burst, Ginza was a symbol of shopping for the upper class in Oriental society. The most ordinary piece of clothing often cost an ordinary employee one month's salary. And the salary of an ordinary employee in Oriental,

In the world at that time, wages were considered high.

And 1990 was the last moment of madness in Japan.

Dongyang entered the golden age of the economy in 1980, also known as the bubble era or the boom era. It was an era of high economic growth. The people of Japan who were spending crazy money felt that they were getting rich, and firmly believed that tomorrow would be better and richer.

But by the end of 1990, everything came to an abrupt end.

In 1990, 10,000 yen was about 300 yuan. In this year, the average monthly salary of Chinese employees was 178 yuan, while the average monthly salary of Japanese employees was 10,000 yuan. Here are the figures converted into RMB. For the convenience of understanding, there are no

Special note, all calculations are in RMB.

In the prosperous period of the entire society, all behaviors are trying to cater to and stimulate consumption. For young people who are constantly comparing and consuming, businesses continue to encourage them to enjoy the current life and artificially celebrate every festival.

It has become a day for Valentine's Day or a date. Whether it is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day or the foreign Christmas, etc., it is a highlight moment for consumption. In addition, there are also membership days and shopping days launched by various department stores.

Various activities etc.

The famous brand stores on Fifth Avenue in New York are crowded with people from Japan going overseas for shopping. The Japanese consumed 70% of the world's luxury goods back then. There are even department stores in France and other countries that impose restrictions on tourists holding Japanese passports.

Purchase limit.

The pursuit of delicious food and fun by Japanese people has reached a hysterical level. Some merchants will even wrap gold foil on the outside of food. An ordinary chocolate that originally cost more than 100 yuan has been sold for 5,000 yuan, and demand exceeds supply.

Every festival has become a good time for carnival, and every festival couple needs to prepare gifts for each other. At that time, an ordinary employee’s monthly salary was about 10,000 yuan. If it was a wedding, buying a wedding dress or dress worth more than one million yuan, flying

To Australia or Bali,

For honeymoons in tourist destinations such as Fiji, it is normal for a wedding to cost 300,000 to 500,000 or more. Beaches at resorts around the world are filled with all kinds of Asians with yellow skin and black hair. Even Fijis work as waiters in hotels.

All black people who were born learned to speak Japanese.

On TV or in various magazines, materialism is promoted, and all kinds of clothing, bags, cosmetics, etc. have a huge impact on ordinary people. Female high school students are imitating adults and starting to think of ways to make money to buy designer bags.

Bag. This trend is becoming more and more popular and young

Issey Miyake and other brands that are still popular in later generations were born at that time. The bar was crowded with various bosses and young employees, and French Louis XIII and other foreign wines became their favorites.

.If a customer orders sake, even the waiter won’t bother to talk to you.

Late at night, the streets of Tokyo are full of drunk men and women. Taxis have become the most popular business. Without using the meter, asking for exorbitant prices has become the norm. Some people stand on the road waving hundreds of dollars in order to take a taxi.

Stopping the car. In order to show off their wealth, many bosses will

Behind the scenes, I often tip in stacks, sometimes even before the bank seal has been broken. According to Japanese media reports, a boss once only had to pay more than 100 yuan in fares, but ended up giving more than 20,000 yuan in consumption.

.This was in 1990, and the average house price was more than 30,000.

The entire society is permeated with an atmosphere of extreme encouragement and worship of material things. As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you are thinking about sex. Young people are thinking of ways to make money, including their bodies. In the prosperous era of the East, a new way of making money emerged, which is*

***, the crowd includes housewives, female college students, female middle school students, and even young girls who have not yet grown up.

In their view, selling one's body is not shameful, but if you don't own a new handbag, you will lose the last line of dignity among your classmates and friends. When girls get together, the hottest topic is "other people's belongings"

"Gifts from my boyfriend" include bundles of cash, popular new imported Mercedes-Benz or BMW cars, and various handbags starting with letters such as "h".

In Japan at that time, if you wanted to pick up girls, material possessions were the biggest prerequisite. Did you buy a house? Is it in downtown Tokyo or in the suburbs? Did you buy a car? Is it a domestic car or a luxury car imported from Europe and the United States? For a date, go to Roppongi, the most westernized city in Tokyo.

, or go to II

Valley Ski Resort? If you don’t have these, it’s absolutely useless. In the 1980s and 1990s, housing prices in Japan were rising steadily. The land price in a city in Tokyo could buy the entire United States. But if you want to get married, buying a house or a car has become rigid.

Required.

House prices in Tokyo have skyrocketed because of this!

Even so, you may not be able to buy it with money. Because there are many people and few houses, what should you do? Draw lots, and whoever is drawn will be the winner. Toyo TV, or Japan TV for short, filmed more than one person at a real estate lottery in Tokyo.

The young man who was drawn for the first time but failed, collapsed on the spot

Scene. Tens of millions of viewers saw this young man who was waiting for a new house to get married. He fell to the ground and twitched due to excessive sadness. He was like a weak chicken who was shot through the chest by the invisible sharp arrow of housing prices. This

It is a true portrayal of countless young people from Japan who have difficulty finding a house.

Young people without money can only buy houses in the counties around Tokyo or in the outer suburbs. In Ibaraki Prefecture, the Tokyo area, the house price is only one-third of that in the capital city, but it takes 4 hours to go to work each day. It is unaffordable.
