When doing business in Japan, you can always know all kinds of people, so you decide to write the story of "100 Japanese I know" when you have time. Through these people, everyone can get to know the entire Japanese society and the Japanese.
Yamamoto looks a bit like this person. Let’s put this picture for the time being
Yamamoto met through his good friend Bao Ge (also a Japanese, he will write his story later). When we first met, we made an appointment to meet at the gate of a residential area where we could see the sea. From a silver-gray Audi Q7, a man wearing a floral shirt, white shoes, and a quarter-blank pants, and his height was about 178. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve removed the top or if I like this style, my whole head can illuminate everything. His voice is a rare loud voice among Japanese people, he likes to laugh, and he cannot support his aura without a few hundred million assets. Although it is very bad and he should not judge people by his appearance, his first impression is the "gang boss".
After Bao Ge introduced me, he started to praise me with how good the resources here are. They are all overseas markets, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Dubai , and I was a little vain. After learning about it, Yamamoto started to tell me how good this land is, what is suitable for it, what is suitable for building, and so on.
After reading it, he respectfully bowed to us. When I got in the car, I told Brother Bao that this person is quite interesting.
Brother Bao said, right? This president is indeed not very similar to a typical Japanese.
I said, "Does he have anything to do with Yamaguchi? I feel like a gangster boss."
Bao Ge laughed and said, "No, he is not that kind of person." But his temperament, haha, you really feel that way.
He is really not a gangster?
Brother Bao smiled and said, "It's really not." The underworld cannot do such a formal company.
OK, it seems that my first impression of him is too exaggerated.
After that, Yamamoto contacted me frequently. He would send me good housing sources or take me to meet some big business owners.
Later I don’t know who told Yamamoto that when I first met him, I thought he was a gangster. He touched his bald head and laughed. It was too much. Do I look that fierce?
I said, you have your own style.
He seems to like being praised like this. He will tell everyone at the time that Maria thought I was a gangster boss, hahaha, isn’t it too much? How could I think of me like this?
OK brother, just be happy. On occasions, I would also cooperate with him to act, "You were wearing a very gangster at that time, hahaha."
Although Yamamoto is almost sixty years old, because of his years of fitness, figure and mental outlook, he is as hard as a person in his forties, and has a hard muscle all over his body. He was extremely particular about dressing, and later found out that this was because he had a wife who had been a model.
When Yamamoto's son was in his teenage years, he went to Hawaii and worked odd jobs and studied in a clothing store. In Japan, parents of children's tuition fees will help their children pay if their financial conditions allow them, and if they do not allow them, they will let their children take out loans, which is called "university scholarship". After graduation, I paid back the debt year by year. Yamamoto should have paid for his own tuition and living expenses. My son is very good at English, and he found a Japanese girl and was also athletic, and gave birth to a very cute son. Yamamoto touched his bald head two years ago and said to me, "Oh, I'm going to be my grandfather." That incomparable sense of happiness was written on my face.
Many people may think that most companies in Japan inherit their father's business, but Yamamoto seems to have no plans. My son is also very independent and has no bad habits of rich second generation. Yamamoto himself thinks he is very young, and it is not a big problem to work for another twenty years. Although the scale of the company's management is not large (there are only four or five employees), the assets are increasing.
Compared with other Japanese people of the same age and Yamamoto, they are optimistic about the Chinese market, and are more optimistic about the rise in Japan's real estate in the future. With more than 40 years of real estate experience, he always targets some items with great business opportunities, and then quickly wins them and sells them when the market grows taller.I have to say that Yamamoto is the best Japanese I have ever met. He has never been to China, but sometimes he feels very Chinese when treating people. We are generous when we invite guests and pay for the bill, but we never do business at a loss.
Yamamoto likes to drink beer very much. Because of fitness, he doesn’t have a beer belly at all, and his alcohol content is also amazing. The Japanese man in Showa still feels embarrassed to lose to others with that energy and drinking, especially to foreigners.
My Lao Guo is the kind of man who is pure Northeastern and doesn't want to lose to the Japanese when drinking. At that party, the two of them actually talked and laughed, but when they looked at the wine in the glass, they knew that they were secretly competing for who had drunk more. Although I don’t drink much, Sapporo beer, especially draft beer, is simply one of the beers that men love to drink. Every time they both have to drink until the other party admits defeat. The time that Yamamoto admired was really hard to dominate. Because it was Christmas again at the end of the year, we arranged for Yamamoto and his employees to have a party. Lao Guo also brought three bottles of white wine developed by his good buddy's house, and another bottle of bamboo whiskey . When ordering, I arranged for everyone to drink for 120 minutes, and the restaurant also had fifty kinds of wine to choose from.
The first time I saw a table of Chinese liquor, the Japanese were extremely excited. Although they hadn't drunk much, they all knew that the Chinese liquor was of high quor. Seeing that Lao Guo was driving very hard this time, he basically didn't touch any other beer he had been drinking. Mimi is my favorite Japanese girl, she is also our common friend and she likes drinking very much. The five people who drank that day, drank all the liquor, whiskey, and then did not stop beer. Yamamoto really saw Lao Guo's alcohol tolerance and seemed to have accepted the loss. That day, an old man in his seventies, who was also drunk and shouted to go to the next table to flirt with the little girl. Other Japanese people quickly called his wife and picked her up. The people at the table were basically the most sober that they were Lao Guo and Yamamoto. After that, Yamamoto was very satisfied with Lao Guo. Even though Lao Guo was very bad in Japanese, he thought Lao Guo was a trustworthy person. Japanese people also look at their character based on their wine. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lao Guo and Yamamoto’s relationship is something he can make.
Later, Yamamoto asked us to play golf and would bring different friends with us every time. People like Yamamoto who have played golf for more than 20 years should have a very small ball difference. However, Yamamoto is sometimes anxious to play basketball, does not have the calm temperament of Buddhist Japanese, and the muscles he usually exercises are very developed, which often hits the ball outside or in the fairway next to it, and plays far away, but is not accurate. If you play with him, you have to pat him more, who doesn’t have a little vanity?
has been in contact with it for almost six or seven years. Overall, I feel that Yamamoto is a typical Showa man. There is a saying in Japan, "Showaman, Heiju", which means that Japanese men in the Showa era are the true nature of men, ambitious and career-oriented. Heisei happened to be the lost 30 years during the bubble economy, which led to the men born in the Heisei era being timid, have no ambitions, and are content with the status quo. To be honest, after getting to know many Japanese people, their understanding of this sentence will become more and more profound. Yamamoto never refuses to answer the phone because of weekends or working hours. He is always energetic and will look far away when doing anything. Even if the epidemic has become so serious now, he is still telling us that it will definitely pass. We must be prepared for the explosion of inbound tourism after the opening of the opening of inbound tourism. People who can see the ups and downs may be so far away.
Sometimes I think that deep down in Yamamoto’s heart, to China and to us, are also very conflicting. He is a man who has experienced the prosperous era of Japan's economy and now he has to admit that China's rise is coming. When he talked about us with other Japanese, he could clearly feel that he felt a sense of regret for the young Japanese now. In his opinion, when we went to Japan to start a business, we saw ourselves who was not afraid of anything back then, and we felt that there were many things we couldn't finish talking to us.But just like if Vietnam or India surpasses China one day, our hearts are not feeling, Yamamoto's inner world is actually very contradictory. Unwilling to admit defeat, but helpless.
In fact, there are many Japanese people like Yamamoto who are very contradictory in their hearts. They really want to do business with Chinese people and recognize some Chinese entrepreneurs, but they feel extremely uncomfortable in their hearts...
In fact, this is understandable. We are also changing Yamamoto's views on China and the Chinese people little by little, so that he can understand that China today has changed a lot.
