Chapter 022: Economy
After several diners in the restaurant heard the conversation between Kishimoto Masayoshi and the owner, not only did their eyes focus on Kishimoto Masayoshi, but they also rushed to get what they ate and drank and hurriedly approached Kishimoto Masayoshi.
From the expressions on their faces, Kishimoto immediately understood what was going on. After all, at this time, RB, which is also in the midst of the Asian financial turmoil, is not as tragic as South Korea, but life is not very easy.
Masayoshi Kishimoto saw that since they were interested in what they had to say, he did not hide it and said, "The heavy damage that South Korea has suffered is not entirely the fault of the current government.
Tracing back to the roots, you can go back to the miracle era of the Han River, which Korea is proud of, and even further afield. This concentrated outbreak of economic problems is all due to the long-term accumulation of mistakes under the rapid development.
Before the economic problems became apparent, it created a kind of economic prosperity for the people. As a result, the people are not afraid to spend money, and it is normal for them to spend in debt. They are convinced that the increase in their wages in the future will easily make up for the current shortfall.
South Korea's economic heyday was in the 80s. The 1988 Seoul Olympics were a sign of their pride. If I'm not mistaken, South Korea's middle class was also booming at the time.
Almost half of the families in the middle class own a car. Color televisions, video recorders, refrigerators and other household appliances have entered thousands of households in South Korea. ”
"South Korea's economic development path is very similar to ours at the beginning! The only difference is that they started and developed later than us. The shopkeeper suddenly interjected and came in with a lot of emotion.
"Not really. South Korea's steps are to step bigger, faster, so that it pulls the egg under the crotch. RB was at the end of the 50s, and the economy was up.
At that time, the three major artifacts of the ordinary working family of RB were black and white televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines. By the mid-60s, there were three new artifacts, cars, air conditioners, and color televisions.
The 1964 Tokyo Olympics symbolized the take-off of the RB economy. Concepts such as 100 million middle class, lifetime employment, and a national income doubling plan came into being. In the seventies and eighties, the RB economy also entered its heyday and bubble stage.
If the whole world can see an Asian with two cameras behind his buttocks, it must be RB people nine times out of ten. The employment of college students is simply a battle for talent among various enterprises.
Regardless of which university you are graduating from, if you come to the company briefing, it will cost you 10,000 yen per person.
Once the two parties sign an internal agreement, they will immediately send you abroad to travel at public expense, for fear that you will be poached by other companies.
Sitting in the office is a temporary job of answering the phone, and the daily wage is 20,000 yen. At that time, many young people did not want to work in regular jobs.
If you don't have any money, you just do this kind of short-term work. With money, it's an all-night carnival of eating, drinking, and merrymaking. Many people want to live like this for the rest of their lives.
The birth rate of RB has once again reached a peak, except after the war. Kishimoto helped them look back at the country's economic glory.
The owner and other diners were middle-aged and elderly people of a certain age, and when they heard him talk about their past, their faces couldn't help but show excitement.
However, in addition to their memories and excitement, they deeply lamented that the good days were gone forever. Now, they have become poor and busy one by one.
"Looks like you're really selling the pachinko house to play with finance? If you can, take me on a trip. The shopkeeper seemed to understand what was coming.
"For ordinary people, if you can't touch this thing, you must not touch it. This is a business that can lose your life and future in one hand.
I use Soros's words to prove that finance is not comparable to other industries. He said that when it comes to financial operations, there is no morality or immorality, it is just an operation.
The financial market does not belong to the category of morality, it is not immoral, morality does not exist here at all, because it has its own rules of the game.
I'm a participant in the financial markets, and I'm going to play the game according to the rules that I've set, and I'm not going to break them, so I don't feel guilty or responsible.
As far as the Asian financial crisis is concerned, whether or not I speculate will not play any role in the occurrence of financial events. I don't hype it and it will happen.
I don't think there's anything immoral about speculating in foreign currencies or speculation. On the other hand, I follow the rules of operation. I respect those rules and care about them.
As a person who is ethical and cares about them, I want to make sure that these rules are conducive to building a good society, so I advocate for some of the rules to be changed.
I think some of the rules need to be improved. If the improvement and improvement affect my own interests, I will still support it, because the rule that needs to be improved may be the reason for the incident. "Kishimoto is righteous.
The shopkeeper and the others listened to the fog, and they didn't know what he wanted to say at all. They looked at each other, but for the sake of face, neither of them would openly admit that they did not understand.
In fact, the correct meaning that Kishimoto wants to express is that there is no morality in this game, as long as it complies with the established rules, any means can be used in order to win.
"I've heard the story that one of the main reasons why South Korea has been hit hard is because of its chaebol monopoly and greed.
Dismantling South Korea's current chaebol will lead to better healthy competition, which will be beneficial to economic development. The shopkeeper said like a schoolboy asking a teacher.
"Nonsense. Unless South Korea's elite elite has been hit by intelligence reduction, they will do what you say stupidly.
This is not only that they are reluctant to give up vested interests, but that they need to use strong capital to speak in the international market.
If there is no chaebol in South Korea, a simple, direct and brutal price war by foreign capital can completely defeat it.
Whether it is South Korea or RB, the chaebol was established in order to have greater competitiveness, voice and initiative in the international market, so as to compete against consortium capital from the United States, Britain and other countries.
Giving up is tantamount to abandoning one's martial arts. It is not only Japan and South Korea, but also any sovereign country.
Some countries in Northern Europe and the Middle East have done even better, directly as sovereign wealth funds, using the money of the entire national treasury to invest in the international market.
Nowadays, many people always talk about slave society and feudal society, and knowledge is in the hands of those big families. At present, isn't it the same? Changing the soup is not changing. Kishimoto said eloquently.
The only thing he didn't say was that in July 2016, when he discussed the "principle of publicness and equality in education" at a dinner with a number of reporters from the South Korean media "Gyeonghyang Shimbun", he said that "99% of the people are pigs and dogs, and the state is enough for them to make a living", and he also advocated that "the identity system should be fixed, and I am trying to be a part of that 1%".
