Chapter 001 Dowry Money
Yokohama City is the first city where RB opens and gives foreigners the earliest right to live, causing many Chinese to gather here.
Today, Yokohama City is far from the bustling and lively city of Tokyo, Osaka Prefecture and Nagoya City, but it is also a city with the most potential in RB in development.
It will become the second largest presence in the RB after Tokyo in the next few decades, thus surpassing Nagoya City in Osaka Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture.
On January 1, 1983, the beginning of the new year of RB. In a room in an ordinary residential building on Zhonghua Street, Yamashita Town, Yokohama SZ District, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japanese Chinese Lin Yaren sat in the living room, facing the five stacks of cash arranged on the glass coffee table with serious expression.
Each stack of banknotes is composed of one hundred and ten thousand yen bills, totaling five million yen. The money is cheap for oneself. The parents have long agreed to the woman and asked him to personally give him the bride price within today.
The reason why his parents didn't go to send the bride price with him was just asking him to send the bride price alone was because the store was too busy.
After all, everyone knows that the busiest time of the year in the catering industry is the holidays, and it is also the best and most profitable time for business. RB is no exception.
However, Lin Yaren is not the real Lin Yaren, and the real Lin Yaren suddenly passed away in his sleep a day ago.
On the day the other party died, that is, the day when his soul came here. He not only came from the future of 2021, but also inherited all the memories of the other party.
Now I am from the future Chinese mainland soul to the RB 38 years ago. The soul of a Chinese uncle completely occupied the body of a 20-year-old Japanese young man.
Lin Yaren put his hands crossed on his chest, held his chest slightly lowered his head, and was thinking seriously about a major issue about his future life and future direction.
If I do what my parents said, I will just give the 5 million yen bride gift to the woman in person.
Then, it will undoubtedly marry a girl who looks ordinary and is a Japanese-Chinese girl like herself in the near future. Then, the two of them will have children together.
As the only son of the family, Lin Yaren will definitely inherit the small restaurant run by her parents on Zhonghua Street one day in the future.
Before I inherited this family business, I naturally would always work in my own small restaurant.
The original owner of his body had already told him that since the fourth grade of elementary school, he had been helping with work in a small restaurant at home.
At the beginning, it was nothing more than doing chores, delivering food, etc., and then gradually going to the stove, and following my dad to learn how to make Sichuan cuisine that can match the tastes of local RB people.
According to the planning roadmap for the future development prospects of such a career, he will become a qualified Sichuan cuisine chef in Yokohama China Street and the owner of the Sichuan restaurant.
So, I didn't want to know that when I think about it, I had been working in the small restaurant at home for ten years.
Is it hard? It's hard. Looking at the relatives, friends and neighbors I know around me, they are almost in this state of life. Everyone works more than ten hours a day, and they work almost all year round, which is the norm.
What's more, it's even more common in the catering industry, which has long working hours, fierce competition and poor income.
It is not easy for Chinese people to live overseas. It is even more difficult for them to live in RBs with serious xenophobia.
In addition, not only Chinese in Japan, but even RB people themselves still need to work more than ten hours a day. Everyone has become numb and feels that life is like this.
However, Lin Yaren knew very well that the true nature of life was not what they thought. Life could be colorful, but because of lack of money, it turned into a series of hard life pictures.
Even so, in a sense, their Lin family is already one of the successful people who have completely settled in RB.
In mainland China at the same time, the average salary of ordinary people was still in double digits, which was just a few dozen soft sister coins.
The greatest happiness of mainland Chinese children born in the 1980s is that they have not been hungry like their parents and ancestors.
At the same time, the mainstream values in Hong Kong society and film and television dramas are full of names that are discriminatory to mainland Chinese men and women, mainland girls and mainland boys.
This is not entirely true that they will change their past discriminatory titles and change them to mainlanders in decades. Hong Kong people's sense of superiority is gradually losing.
As one of the four Asian economic dragons, Taiwanese people also have full confidence and a look of looking down on mainland China from top to bottom.
They would not expect that in a few decades, the per capita monthly income of the mainland will get closer and closer to their per capita monthly income, thus making it even more and more comparable.
In the future, the actual per capita monthly income of ordinary Taiwanese people will be NT$230,000, equivalent to four or five thousand soft sister coins.
This is very common among ordinary workers in first- and second-tier cities in mainland China decades later. It proves again that this sentence is a famous saying in Hedong and thirty years.
Lin Yaren deeply understands that it is absolutely not an exaggeration to use gold everywhere to describe its economic prosperity in the era.
RB is about to begin the heyday brought about by the bubble economy (depending on different economic indicators, the length of this period varies, but generally refers to the 4-year and 3-month period between December 1986 and February 1991).
As long as you find a direction and breakthrough, you will definitely be able to seize the great opportunities and good environment given by the current era, so as to truly achieve the leap of your own class.
Otherwise, once you miss it, there will be no more. In the future, it will become even more impossible for me to break through the RB society that was originally class-consolidated.
When Lin Yaren thought of this, he had already made his final choice. He never wanted to live a life that could be seen at a glance. He would stay in China Street in Yokohama for the rest of his life, and would be the owner and chef of a small restaurant for the rest of his life.
