Chapter 009: Ueno Park

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

In addition to domestic and foreign tourists, there are also many people who can be seen in slightly remote places. In the winter of December, the weather was getting colder day by day, but he clearly felt that it was colder than the weather in the hearts of the people who were walking around alone, dressed in suits and leather shoes and carrying briefcases.

Some of them wandered aimlessly, some of them were dejected, some of them sighed, some of them sat in a daze, and they slept on a bench in a park......

The mental outlook of the whole person is not good, so that others can know at a glance that nine times out of ten they are unemployed. They are unemployed, and they dare not tell their families, for fear that their families will be anxious and worried.

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

The harm caused by the Asian financial turmoil can be seen from this. It's not that these people don't work hard and don't want to do the work, it's that there really isn't a job for them to do.

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

The lifelong employment system of RB people gradually disintegrated when the economic bubble burst in the early 90s.

Even if the seniority sequence system is still maintained, it does not mean that you are not unemployed. Once the company has a bad business situation and layoffs, it is bound to lay them off first, after all, they have a higher income than young people, but their work efficiency is not as good as that of 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 a chaotic life and getting by.

Kishimoto is well aware that RB society has always been a repressive society, and it is often difficult to survive once you lose your job. The so-called unemployment benefit system benefits only a small percentage of the population.

RB people also have a tradition called shame culture, which has led to many people who can apply for financial assistance from the government, but they have to do nothing, and even starve to death.

After all, the government's financial assistance to individuals is also very limited, which not only leads to more monks and less porridge, but also the application process is artificially quite cumbersome, so that the applicant can give up automatically.

According to an RBNPO group, about 5,000 people in RB starve to death each year due to food shortages. The RB government announced that it was about 2,000 people.

As for suicides, RB has maintained a consistent annual number of suicides of two to thirty thousand. With the collapse of the myth of the RB economy, women are no longer at home and do housework and childcare, and do not engage in productive work.

At this time, RB women have begun to enter the social work in an increasing number of years. Even if you get married, you will continue to work, but it is not at all like Japanese dramas, you will take the initiative to leave your job when you get married, and live a life of husband and children.

Of course, with the exception of decent and stable high-income occupations such as the husband being a full-time employee of a large company or a government civil servant, most of them will continue to work. Even if you are pregnant, you will continue to do it.

If you have a child, you will also take on the burden of supporting your family with a man. Or just stay at home for a while, wait until the child is old enough to go to elementary school, and then come out and do what he can.

It all depends on the actual economic situation of each family. RB men are still proud not to let their wives go out to work, after all, they can show their personal ability.

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 is also beginning to show, causing them to demand more and more from the other half of men, and value money more.

Before Kishimoto came here, RB women demanded that the annual income of the marriage partner 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 a regular employee of a small or medium-sized enterprise is only 2 or 3 million yen.

Freelancers who work part-time at convenience stores earn an average of 1 million yen a year. Only large companies earn about 5 million yen a year for employees who join the company in their first year, and then increase every year.

By the time you get married in your thirties, have children, and pay off your mortgage, your annual salary will be more than 8 million yen. Well-known companies can exceed 10 million yen.

People who earn more than 10 million yen a year are often the elite of RB society, properly the middle class.

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

A person who graduated from college is generally around 23 years old. At this time, the retirement age of RB was 60 years old, and before he crossed over, it had been raised to 70 years old.

When you reach the legal age and officially retire, you must be 70 years old and have no run, which means that you need to work from 23 to 70 years old, a full 47 years.

How many companies can survive for 47 years? According to 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 enterprises is only 7-8 years. About 100,000 businesses fail every year in the United States, while China has 1 million, 10 times as many as in the United States.

Not only is the life cycle of an enterprise short, but there are also very few companies that can become stronger and bigger. Even if you stay in a company that can survive 47 years, you still have to avoid being laid off due to various reasons within the company.

It is always said that the RB class is solidified in all kinds of bad, and the good thing is that RB has the world's largest number of century-old enterprises, so that RB people can work hard with the company as their home with peace of mind until retirement.

In the middle-class families of RB, there is always such an idea that if you graduate from college and step into social work, if you can't find your corresponding position, it will be difficult to find it in the future.

This factor is particularly important not only in RB, but also in countries around the world. Being a human being is risky, and reincarnation needs to be cautious.

If his cheap father didn't leave him a pachinko house, a house, and miscellaneous things, he wouldn't have the start-up capital to invest.

Masayoshi Kishimoto doesn't want his fate to be in the hands of others, he wants to be the master of his own destiny. Since you can predict part of the economic future, you will grasp and use it well, and never become one of those people who are wandering around the park aimlessly.
