MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 9 Shang Ye Park

   Chapter 9 Ueno Park

   Kishimoto Masayoshi didn't go home directly. Seeing that it was still early, he went to Ueno Park. Although it is not the season of cherry blossoms, there are many people.

   In addition to domestic and foreign tourists, you can also see many people in slightly remote places. In the winter of December, the weather was getting colder day by day, but he clearly felt that he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, carrying a briefcase, and the people wandering around alone were colder than the weather.

   Among them, there are those who wander aimlessly, those who are downcast, those who sigh, those who sit in a daze, those who sleep on a bench in a park...

   The mental outlook of the whole person is not good, and others will know that nine out of ten are unemployed. They are unemployed, and they dare not tell their family members, for fear that their family members will be anxious and worried.

   So, there is such a scene, they go to the park every day to go to work. When it's time to get off work, I have to come back, and I have to pretend to be tired from work.

   The damage caused by this Asian financial crisis is evident. It's not that these people don't work hard and don't want to do work, but they really don't have work for them.

   Especially some men who have entered middle age, already have a midlife crisis. This elderly person not only has to pay the mortgage on his shoulders, but also has to support his wife and children, which is quite expensive.

The lifetime employment system of   RB people gradually disintegrated when the economic bubble burst in the early 1990s.

   Even if the seniority system is still maintained, it does not mean that there will be no unemployment. Once the company is in a bad business situation and layoffs, it is bound to lay off them first. After all, they have higher income than young people, but their work efficiency is not as good as young people.

   Many of them have lost the enthusiasm for work that they had when they were young, and they are coping with the mentality of living their lives and just passing by.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi knows that RB society has always been a high-pressure society, and it is often difficult to survive once unemployed. The so-called unemployment benefit system can only benefit a small number of people.

  RB people also have a tradition called shame culture, which has led to many people who could apply for government financial aid, but they must, and even starved to death.

   In addition, the government's financial assistance to individuals is very limited after all, which not only leads to more monks and less porridge, but also the application process is artificially made quite cumbersome, the purpose is to make the applicant give up voluntarily.

   According to data from an RBNPO organization, about 5,000 people in RB starve to death each year due to food shortages. The RB government announced about 2,000 people.

   As for suicide, the number of suicides in RB has remained consistent at 20,000 to 30,000 people every year. With the shattering of the RB economic myth, women will no longer stay at home to do housework and take care of children as in the past, instead of engaging in productive labor.

   At this time, RB women have begun to increase their participation in social work. Even if you are married, you will continue to work. It is not like the Japanese drama that you will voluntarily leave your job when you get married, and live a life of husband and child.

   Of course, except for the husband who is a regular employee of a large company and a decent and stable high-income occupation such as a government civil servant, he will basically continue to work. Even if you are pregnant, you will continue to do it.

   After giving birth to a child, he will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the family together with the man. Or stay at home for a while and wait until the child is old enough to be able to go to primary school, and then come out to work within his ability.

   All of this will depend on the actual economic situation of each household. RB men will still be proud of not letting their wives go out to work, after all, they can show outstanding personal abilities.

   Even if his wife goes out to work, it is not as shameful as RB used to be. However, the economic independence of RB women has also begun to show, causing them to become more and more demanding of the other half of the men, and pay more attention to money.

  Before Kishimoto Masayoshi came here, RB women required that the annual income of their marriage partners be no less than 4 million yen, and they would not make concessions in this regard, in order to have a low-risk marriage.

What is the concept of   4 million yen? The average annual income of regular employees of small and medium-sized enterprises is only two to three million yen.

  Freelancers who work part-time at convenience stores and other convenience stores have an average annual income of one million yen. Only large companies will allow employees who officially join the company in the first year to receive an annual income of about 5 million yen, and then increase year by year.

   When you are in your thirties, get married and raise a wife, have children, and pay off your mortgage, your annual salary will be over 8 million yen. Well-known companies can exceed 10 million yen.

   Those whose annual income exceeds 10 million yen per year are often the elites of RB society, properly middle class.

  The reason why Kishimoto Masayoshi did not choose to follow the route of ordinary salarymen is that he saw through the social deception.

   A person graduates from college, generally around the age of 23. At this time, the retirement age of RB was 60 years old, and before he came here, it was already raised to 70 years old.

   When you officially retire at the legal age, you must not be able to run at the age of 70, which means that you need to work from the age of 23 to the age of 70, a full 47 years.

   How many companies can survive 47 years? According to the US "Fortune" magazine, the average life expectancy of small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States is less than 7 years, and the average life expectancy of large enterprises is less than 40 years.

   In China, the average lifespan of small and medium-sized enterprises is only 2.5 years, and the average lifespan of group companies is only 7-8 years. About 100,000 companies fail every year in the United States, while China has 1 million, 10 times that of the United States.

   Not only the life cycle of enterprises is short, but there are few enterprises that can become stronger and bigger. Even if I stay in a company that can live for 47 years, I still have to avoid being laid off due to various reasons within the company.

   It is always said that the RB class is not good, but the good thing is that RB has the largest number of century-old enterprises in the world, so that RB people can work hard with the company as their home until retirement.

  In the middle-class families of RB, there is always such a thought that after graduating from university and stepping into social work, if you can't find your corresponding position, it will be difficult to find it in the future.

The factor of    origin is particularly important not only in RB, but also in countries all over the world. There are risks in being a human being, and reincarnation needs to be cautious.

  If his cheap dad didn't leave him a billiard room, a house, and other miscellaneous things, he wouldn't be able to have start-up capital for investment.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi does not want his own destiny to be handed over to others, he wants to be the master of his own destiny. Since I can predict part of the economic future, I will grasp and use it well, and never become one of the people who are wandering around the park aimlessly.
