December 31 at eight o'clock in the evening, the last hours of the twentieth century. In four hours, humanity will begin a new era and enter the 21st century.

Masayoshi Kishimoto came to the place where Maki Iwasaki told him as promised. He was not empty-handed, and prepared a large bouquet of flowers to send. They sat facing each other and began to drink aperitifs.

"Congratulations on winning the entire Roppongi Old Town Renovation Project. Maki Iwasaki held the wine glass in his right hand and opened his mouth.

"Thank you. Next year, I will continue to work hard. Masayoshi Kishimoto also said with a wine glass in his right hand.

"What do you think about Japan's economic situation next year?" asked Iwasaki Maki unhurriedly.

Kishimoto knew that eating with her wasn't just about eating, and that there would be more in-depth conversations in it.

If she wasn't smart enough, I'm afraid she would have been eliminated a long time ago. There will be no afterwords such as her private invitation.

In all fairness, I am mentally happy, after all, the collision of the two people's minds is conducive to the improvement of intelligence.

However, occasionally it will become a temptation and a finding between the two sides. This is not in the relationship between men and women, but in the scope of business cooperation.

"Next year, Japan will be a year of economic mediocrity. Even if the government has monetary quantitative easing to boost economic development, it will be limited in terms of actual strength. I'm afraid it's more about the thunder and the rain. Kishimoto Masakazu expressed his views and opinions.

"What is the specific reason?" asked Iwasaki Maki with a slight shake of the glass in her right hand.

"You know it very well in your heart, so why do you have to ask me?" Kishimoto said with a smile.

Maki Iwasaki immediately laughed and said, "Just because I want to hear what you think?"

Masayoshi Kishimoto bluntly said: "Japan is a first-mover country, and has become one of the few developed countries in the world. At this stage, it has reached the bottleneck of further upward development.

Or that a new way of growth is needed to break through the bottleneck. This can be seen from Japan's annual economic growth forecast alone.

The double-digit growth that preceded the bursting of the bubble no longer exists. At the beginning, asphalt roads were built in even small remote areas of Japan.

There are not many cars running on the road. Nor can the government be blamed for such waste or over-investment.

I have a lot of money on hand, and I really don't know what to do for a while, and what is the safest thing to do. As a result, infrastructure projects are often a good option.

After all, there will be projects only when there is investment. With the project, there are jobs available to the people in the local area.

When people have jobs, they will have income, and then they will be able to retain people, so that young people will not all run towards big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

People can only consume when they have money, which also stimulates domestic demand and the growth and prosperity of the domestic economy. The problem is that it is manufactured, but it is not consumed fast enough, resulting in a relative surplus.

If Japan wants to continue its economic growth as before, it will have to be razed to the ground and devastated again. If we continue to engage in traditional industries in Japan, we will not be profitable.

The cost of land, labor, raw materials, and so on have gone up. Moving labor-intensive industries or industries that are not in core or critical technologies out of Japan and setting up factories in underdeveloped countries can increase profit margins.

Moreover, finance was originally artificially created for the optimal allocation of resources, but after the 80s, it became a way for many speculators to accumulate wealth and get rich.

Before that, the industry was not as lofty and profitable as it is now. AT THE MOMENT, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO DEVELOP E-COMMERCE LIKE EBAY IN JAPAN. ”

The reason why he said this is not nonsense. People who do not know the inside story of the development of Japan's related industries mistakenly believe that Japan is lagging behind China in electronic payment and online shopping, and then it has to catch up.

In fact, before Ma's father engaged in Taobao and Alipay, Japan was doing it in advance. There are many reasons why Japan has not done this in Japan.

For this reason, Kishimoto Yoshimoto had a certain summary in his previous life. He summed it up to the fact that there was no boss who dominated the rivers and lakes.

Once you make a payment or make a purchase, there will be many other cards in Japan that are not compatible, such as watermelon cards, apple cards, and banana cards.

Each card or payment method belongs to a different company. There is no cooperative relationship between them, they are all competitive. Japan is known for its fierce competition among its peers from all walks of life.

Second, there are many convenience stores in Japan, and each convenience store has ATM machines, which are very convenient to use.

Third, Japan's cash is extremely anti-counterfeiting, and it is not easy to receive counterfeit money. In addition, Japanese people are very stubborn, and once a certain payment habit is formed, it is quite difficult to change.

Fourth, credit cards are widely used in Japan. The use of credit cards is very common in developed countries. This is why it is not like China's mobile phone payment is not Alipay, or WeChat.

In fact, mobile payment is not necessarily faster than cash and credit cards. I have to say that the biggest advantage is that the former does not need to change and makes N in one.

The shortcomings are also obvious, not only the security problem, but also the psychological deception effect on people. The payment of digital currency will always give people the illusion that they are not spending money.

The reason why Kishimoto Masayoshi moved such a mind is that his capital is large and he is fully able to dominate the Japanese e-commerce rivers and lakes.

The most important thing is that he values the virtual banking business that will be derived from this field in the future. Although Japan's population is less than one-tenth of China's, their per capita income is much higher than that of the Chinese.

Alipay's daily turnover is a large number in billions. These can be used by the company.

Whether it's another investment, or whatever, it's fine. Later, you can also make something similar to Yue Bao, so that ordinary people can continue to put money in.

Nowadays, although this field is no longer blank, it has huge development potential. It's not that I don't have to pull up Maki Iwasaki, but with her, many things will be easier.

If the government wants to introduce any relevant restrictions, it can use the Iwasaki family's deep connections to lobby and public relations, so as to benefit itself.
