Chapter 172: How is "The Voice of Setouchi"?

Shi Geqi and Yamamoto asked puzzledly, "The Yoshida family still needs to increase their fame?"

After today's experience, in their eyes, the Yoshida family is undoubtedly a giant existence, but such a monster has a greater reputation?

Tian Licheng said: "It is not so much about increasing fame, but rather about hoping to get the benefits brought by "fame", or to find another way out for the family business." ”

Hearing Lao Tian's words, the eldest lady's expression was a little lost: "Licheng, is it because of aging and declining birthrate?"

Lao Tian nodded, and the girl got to the point.

Although the elder only verbally said that he hoped that his daughter could bring more fame to the Yoshida family, at the end of the conversation, he actually bowed solemnly to Tian Licheng and said, "If San Lang has a heart, please help more in the future of the Yoshida family's industry."

This so-called "helper" is too flexible, how to help, to what extent, Yoshida Motoyou didn't say, it all depends on Tian Licheng's conscience and his feelings for Yoshida Hibiscus.

Now Lao Tian is confused!

The Yoshida family's industry is concentrated in Shikoku, which consists mainly of shops, factories, real estate, large areas of mountain and forest farmland, and dozens of low-sea fishing boats of various types.

These are heavy assets, the real economy, which is not a field that Tian Licheng is familiar with.

What's more, Yoshida must also have experts in the field of investment, not to mention anything else, Yoshida Hibiscus is from the Department of Finance, and Tian Licheng does not want to sell his half-baked investment ideas in front of professionals.

After thinking about it, Lao Tian was helpless to ask Yoshida's father.

What he saw and heard along the way today was that the whole of Kochi, and even the whole of Shikoku, was in a state of lifelessness, the natural scenery was good, and the environment was great, but the problem was that there were not many people on either side of the street.

He didn't care about this before, because the population of Dongying was originally concentrated in several metropolitan areas.

For example, the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Hanshin metropolitan area, and the Nagoya metropolitan area, the three major metropolitan areas account for almost half of the entire population of Toei, and they are far away from the big cities, and other places are similarly empty.

But the data he got from Yoshida's dad was a bit scary.

In 2005, the population of the entire four countries was 4.1 million, but by 2014 it had fallen to less than 4 million.

Economy, population, and level of development, each prefecture in Shikoku is at the bottom of the entire Toei, and the annual typhoon disaster is reported on time, and it is impossible to avoid it.

Apparently close to the Kanto metropolitan area, Shikoku has not borrowed the light of the big cities, but the local population is losing all the time:

Young people are leaving their homeland to look for opportunities in big cities, and those who stay in their hometowns are old and weak, and what is even more terrifying is that this state is an irreversible trend.

Depopulation means a shrinking market and a lack of labor, not to mention that the fastest decline in the four countries is the young and middle-aged population that represents the future?

Old cells die slowly, but they are not replenished with fresh cells.

For the Yoshida family, who are rooted in Shikoku, it is no different from chronic death.

The family's revenue is declining year after year, but there is no hope of a reversal.

Tian Licheng said: "This task is not so much given to me by my uncle, but rather to Jin, you are a top student in the Department of Finance, and you know more about economics than all of us." ”

Yoshida shook his head: "The siphon effect of big cities cannot be reversed at all.

High-quality medical care, education, and infrastructure resources are all in big cities, with many job opportunities and large development space, and population loss is inevitable here.

What's more, the four countries are already congenitally deficient and cannot be solved by the government, so what's the use of expecting us?"

Shikoku is mountainous and inaccessible, and with the exception of some industrial areas along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, the rest of the world can only be supported by traditional agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and young people in the east are generally reluctant to engage in these hard jobs.

The eldest lady said dejectedly: "Do you still remember the "Late Sunflower" two years ago? That is, the family and the Kochi government went to Fujitai to cooperate in the filming.

Although there were a lot of tourists after the TV series was released, no one wanted to stay and work with us. ”

The news revealed by Hibiscus Yoshida made several men present fry the pot, and everyone's attention suddenly shifted to Japanese dramas.

Yamamoto said excitedly: ""The Late Sunflower"? Ikuta Doshin's part? I especially like Yoko Maki and Fumino Kimura in it!"

Shi Geqi was also very surprised: "This film was shot very well, I still watched it, and I thought the scenery in Kochi was so beautiful at that time!"

Tian Licheng has a little impression of this film.,It's probably about the male protagonist who works hard in Tokyo is a young man with a lack of a sense of crisis but sunshine.,After graduating from university, he joined as a dispatch employee.,Seven years of work have been unable to turn regular.。

Because of the economic downturn, he suddenly lost his job and was dumped by his girlfriend.

By chance, he got the opportunity to volunteer in Kochi Prefecture.

At the same time, the heroine, a medical researcher who thinks highly of herself, was ordered to return to the hospital in her hometown of Shimanto to support the local medical construction.

The male protagonist and the female protagonist meet, and the next thing is the emotional entanglement of six young men and women in the town.

All in all, it is an inspirational youth idol drama about young people in Tokyo who go to the countryside to support "RB rural construction".

Tian Licheng smiled bitterly: "That drama is quite in place as a tourism promotional film, and it is not bad as a public welfare film that cares for the empty nesters, but after I watched it, I didn't want to live in Shikoku at all!

Shi Geqi and Yamamoto looked at each other.

"Of course, it's okay to let me stay for a few days, but it's a bit ...... to stay on a permanent basis," Yamamoto said in a smooth tone.

Shi Geqi said: "There is a feeling that even if you have money, you can't buy anything. Of course, if there is a black rich beauty like Kimura Fumino in the play, I don't mind. ”

"Think beautiful!" The eldest lady rolled her eyes at Lao Shi, and then said to Tian Licheng: "Licheng, the four countries themselves are a dead end, you don't have to take it to heart, just let it be."

It's a big deal, let's pick a few songs, put the MV in Kochi to shoot, and make it look like a tourism promotional video, which can be regarded as doing our best. ”

Shi Geqi clapped his hands: "This can be had, I think "The Voice of the Sea" is suitable."

Cape Muroto Lighthouse, Katsurahama, are all good spots, singing towards the Pacific Ocean, wow, isn't there an artistic conception?"

"I think that Mr. Yoshida agrees with the eldest lady to develop in Tokyo, is it also a bit of a stone to ask for directions?"

"This one definitely has. Tian Licheng agreed with Yamamoto's statement: "Even if I am asked to write a song specifically for publicity, it will be fine." But this is a family affair after all, and it can't be perfunctory, so give me some time and think about it carefully. ”

He smiled at Yoshida and had a rough idea in his mind.

"It should be a good choice to use STU48's "Setouchi Voice", with the original MV, and then let the eldest lady sing it. Hey, I always feel a little uncomfortable......"
