Chapter 108 Components of Income



"I only have one million, which is not enough for a split. Are you going to laugh at me for just borrowing money? I promise to go home with you in six months, and I will definitely work hard to make money and pay you back. Isn't this okay?"

"You idiot!"

Nagano Naoio was so angry that he hugged Nagano Yuki and kissed her.

This frightened Nagano Yuki so much that she forgot to cry. After a moment's pause, she thought that this should be interest, and so she acquiesced to such intimacy.

After a while.

The two gradually separated.

Nagano Yuki said with tears in his eyes and a wronged look on his face: "You have also collected the interest. A man should not regret it!"

Slap! A slap hit Nagano Yuki's butt hard.

Nagano rolled his eyes and said, "Yuki, you idiot, are you being too sentimental? Do you think I spent 10 million just to let you go home?"

"Isn't it? I checked the tax records of Japan's Minister of Health and Welfare before. He only gets 8 million a year. You don't look like a straight man to spend so much money at once. Do you want me to be unable to pay the bill and be forced to go home?" Nagano Yuki said with a look of grievance, her eyes sparkling with tears looking pitiful.

This left Nagano Nao speechless.

Although this fiancée seems to be grown up, she is actually even more childish than Qianxue!

Was it because she had been in an ivory tower since she was a child and had received the best care? Apart from this reason, Nagano Nao couldn't think of any other reason. In his memory, Nagano Yuki, as the eldest daughter, was indeed loved. It might be because his original wife died, so Nagano Jun'an loved his fiancée very much.

She was bought almost anything she wanted, except for the marriage which was forced upon her. She was like a princess at home.

However, Chiyuki and her daughter have never received any care, and therefore, they are very afraid of Nagano Yuki.

She's so stupid that I don't understand how she got into the University of Tokyo. She's even more childish than that guy Iue.

Pooh.

Do I have potential? Why did I suddenly think of Iue?

"Fool!"

Nagano Nao hugged the naive girl in front of him and said, "Yuki, you idiot, do you think everyone earns the same as civil servants?"

"What?"

"What a fool! If it's just based on income, why can the employees of those companies travel to Hawaii or Germany every week? How can everyone wear shoes like John? Salary is only the smallest part of our income. For example, the entertainment expenses of my employees are easily $150,000."

“.”

“.”

Without experiencing Japan’s bubble era, it is impossible to imagine how extravagant this era is.

Today, as the world's second largest economy, Japan's total national wealth with a population of 140 million is greater than the sum of Britain, Germany, France and Italy.

What does it mean? Simply put, the wealth of four developed countries is owned by 140 million people. So it is not difficult to imagine what kind of quality of life they have.

Do you receive a hundred roses on your birthday? Do all men drive a BMW like Junichi Ishida? ? Girls with a girlish heart may have such bold fantasies.

However, if we only have such thoughts, we can only say that our imagination is limited by poverty.

Nagano Nao's life these days, put together like this:

Freshly graduated college students - no matter who they are, can be accepted by about five companies upon graduation; in order to compete for them, once they are hired, large companies will lock them up in luxury hot spring hotels in the name of training to prevent them from accepting jobs from other companies.

The travel expenses for the interview will naturally be reimbursed, and there will be cash rewards if you are accepted.

If you graduate from a top university such as the University of Tokyo, Keio University, or Waseda University, you will often be scammed. The brothel's trick of making you weak is just a trick, and the purpose is to force you to sign an unofficial contract.

Very exaggerated? Okay!

It's really exaggerated! Nagano Nao has always felt that this kind of exaggeration is simply a poor performance by a liar.

However, this kind of extravagance is just boring work, not an enjoyable life.

Tokyo cuisine sells sushi sprinkled with gold flakes, and shopping malls sell chocolates wrapped in gold foil - they can sell them for fifty times the original price, but even then they are always sold out.

The white-collar workers I met at work all wore shoes from brands like John Loeb, the housewives next door often wore jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels, and even the street cleaners usually wore clothes from Chanel and LV.

Imported luxury foods such as caviar are more popular than ever, and it is natural to order top-quality Tokujo ribs for a weekend dinner.

After work, people go to the hotel to drink. They spend a lot of money on high-end foreign liquors: Louis XIII, Macallan whiskey... until they are drunk - if they are not tactful and order simple sake, they will be ignored by the waiter.

The streets were full of people scrambling for taxis. No matter how expensive the fare was, they would take a taxi back to their homes in the suburbs. They waved large bills in their hands to attract the attention of the taxi drivers.

Because drivers are selective with their passengers, they favor those with farther destinations or those willing to pay high tips, and it is not uncommon to pay up to 1 million yen for even ten kilometers.

However, this is not because people cannot afford cars, but because there is too much entertainment in life and the government’s drunk driving inspections are too strict.

Tokyo Disneyland has just been completed on the northern shore of Tokyo Bay - that was the shallow beach where writer Ichiro Arai and his family went to look for clams every year when he was a child - but now this simple experience has been replaced by an American fantasy that everyone is rushing to visit.

Adults have another Disneyland that belongs only to adults - the disco in Roppongi.

An ordinary white-collar worker, even a bootlicker like Iue, would go to a bar to dance after get off work, or even drink a special drink called "Yin Gong Shui" for 1,000 yen.

A guy like Beng Zhinan's weekend activities are either playing golf or sunbathing on the beach.

Of course, not to some shitty place like Hokkaido.

First, fly to Hawaii to find a young model, then put on sunglasses and enjoy a massage, and rush back on the weekend afternoon to prepare for work the next day, revealing the marks of being tanned due to wearing protective glasses.

As for the girls, Soma Maya and Kai Reino often go to the Ginza Hostess Bar after get off work, where they drink all night and try to pick up a rich guy.

Whether it's playing golf or Ginza, one night can easily cost thousands of dollars.

With the average wage per capita at 4.2 million today, wage income is certainly not enough to sustain such extravagant consumption in the entire society.

In fact, for a long time, wage payments in Japan have only been a part of personal income.

Salary payments are often the majority of income for civil servants, while for employees in private enterprises, except for assembly line workers, salary payments are often just a supplement.

Just like what Beng Zhinan said about his idiot brother, who just graduated and joined a pharmaceutical company as an ordinary salesman, his expense account for entertaining customers every year also exceeds 150,000 US dollars.

He took his customers to various sex shops and hostess clubs, then took them and their hostesses to drink more drinks, sing more karaoke, dance more, and finally called a taxi for everyone to go home.

However, even if he did this at least three times a week, he still could not use up all the public funds.

The reason why the straight man laughed at his brother for being an idiot was that he felt his brother had no ambition and did not even know how to reach an agreement with the etiquette lady so that he could get a 20% to 40% rebate on the entertainment expenses.

This kind of kickback game has actually long been a benefit tacitly accepted by all companies.

Only newbies in the workplace would foolishly go there to consume every day, while experienced people would eat while packing up the food and take it out to get kickbacks.

In addition to entertainment expenses, companies often have many strange and malicious subsidies depending on the different working environments.

There are all kinds of strange things like transportation subsidies, communication subsidies, beauty subsidies, nutrition subsidies, sleep subsidies, family relationship subsidies, health subsidies, vacation allowances, clothing subsidies, and even wife allowances.

These subsidies often range from tens of thousands to millions. If you really want to count them, there are dozens of weird and malicious subsidies...
