A survey of RMB's global influence: Japanese marvel at the power of RMB

Xianfong, a Japanese journalist at the Global Times, says the renminbi is in Japan, and the global network correspondent in Japan wants to speak first about what it sees this year. A private entrepreneur from mainland China visited Japan. That night, when he went shopping at the San Yue department store in Ginza, Tokyo, it was time to close the store. At this time, he asked for translation to find the owner of the mall, said that they will return home tomorrow, I hope to buy some items here today, ask if you can close one o'clock in the evening? "How much money do you want to buy," Xiaohe, the mall owner, asked. He answered, "100,000 yuan." "The person in charge of the eye is bright, said:" We still have to close the door. However, you can continue shopping here. "As a result, after the store closed, the private entrepreneur in the shopping mall shopping for up to 1.5 hours, the whole mall ablaze with lights, is for such a Chinese guest to carry out" internal business. Finally, he bought a total of 300,000 yuan of items, with "UnionPay card" to settle the bill. The whole mall was in shock. Almost all the guide on his shopping desk were helping him with his bags and handling. When I leave, the mall owner personally sent him to the mall door, but also constantly bowed off.　　At the time, the journalist's biggest feeling was that the Japanese head of the three-Vietnamese department store was not bowing to the Chinese private entrepreneur but bowing to the Chinese renminbi. So far, Japan is a country that cannot use foreign currency on the market. However, since December 2005 China UnionPay Card can be used in Japan, the renminbi began to "hard" in the Japanese market. Luode, president of China UnionPay, told a global network reporter in Japan: In the past 4 years, China UnionPay has gained a leapfrog development in Japan. This is mainly reflected in: first, UnionPay card in Japan's processing continues to expand. After nearly 4 years of development, accept UnionPay card merchants have more than 14,000 households, mainly including the major international airport duty-free shops, urban department stores and electrical chain, and so on, basic coverage of Chinese tourists visit the major shopping district. The second is to realize the issue of UnionPay card in Japan. The third is the introduction of UnionPay card in Japan's Internet payment business, not only to facilitate the Chinese online shopping, but also for Japanese businesses have brought many Cross-border customers. Now in Japan, UnionPay cards are synonymous with the renminbi.　　Businessmen can not distinguish the various denominations of the renminbi, but merchants must be able to understand the logo of the UnionPay card. According to Japanese media reports, Bank of China Tokyo branch this year also welcomed the heart. With news of the renminbi appreciating, plus interest in storing the renminbi, many Japanese are opening renminbi deposit accounts at the Bank of China's Tokyo branch. When they deposit, they first buy renminbi in yen and then open a renminbi account. According to Japanese customers, this will store the equivalent of 100,000 trillion yen of renminbi, after 10 to extract even the interest rate can have 130,000 yen. This is a "positive" message for the Japanese, who have "0 interest" in bank deposits. Visiting director of the Integrated Research Institute of Cultural Tourism, Jia Yue University, Japan Bermuri JiaIt is a direct call to the Japanese to buy the renminbi directly in the way to invest. In his book, he describes a friend who retired 6 years ago, after receiving a 20 million yen pension, deposited his money in Chinese banks, 80% of which were converted into renminbi storage, 10% for dollar storage and 10% for yen storage. In 2006, 16 million yen was about 1.17 million yuan, and now it is about 1.3 million yuan. The difference is 130,000 yuan.　　That said, in a few years, the 16 million yen increased by 1.59 million yen. Of course, the topic of appreciation of the renminbi is often heard in Japan. But on more occasions, people are talking about Sino-US relations on this topic. Because, in the face of such a momentum of the renminbi, Japanese businessmen are pleased with the heart. As a result, the Japanese government has decided not to act in tandem with the US in forcing the renminbi to appreciate.　　This is not an easy task for Japan, which has the same social system and values as the United States. According to professional analysis, if the renminbi appreciates, it will have an impact on Japanese companies. Today, the Japanese city streets everywhere "hundred grocery", the vast majority of goods are 100 yen. However, if the renminbi appreciates, every item in the hundred grocery will turn into 130 yen on average.　　This is the last thing they want to see. Today, the Chinese people in Japan holding the "indirect renminbi"-UnionPay card, can personally feel the yuan's growing "gold"!
