Chapter 64: Detonation
Looking at the tragic scene in Kobe, many people in the "day" in sadness, worry, anxiety, among them is also secretly relieved, "Japan" decades is an earthquake cycle, since the Kanto earthquake of that year, although it is said that small earthquakes continue, but the real name is a devastating earthquake, but there has never been. In addition, a while ago, there was a lot of uproar about whether there was a major earthquake in January, and although many people did not show it on the surface, they were also suspenseful in their hearts. Now that Kobe has already been shaken, there should be no more large-scale earthquakes in Japan in the short term. This also relieved many people.
However, many people are not satisfied with the progress of the disaster relief on television and in the newspapers, and many people think that Kobe is now suffering from the disaster, and what would happen if the same disaster were to suffer Tokyo, Sendai, or their own city one day in the future?
"Fang Jun, you are right!" This simple sentence, like a match, immediately ignited the powder magazine buried in the bottom of his heart because of the government's ineffective emergency rescue and disaster relief organization and the worries about the lives and property of his compatriots!
People remembered, "Twenty days ago, someone had already warned the day that in January, there would be a big earthquake!"
It was a young man from China, although it was just a dream, although he only got a sign from Sensoji Temple that he thought was urging him to go back to his hometown to avoid disasters, although he may also realize that saying this would attract countless reproaches for him, and the war between heaven and man in his heart, so he will be in the show, only to say it in a hurry, I hope that I can be more careful and reduce the loss of life and property caused by natural disasters as much as possible!
But what did the "Ri" himself return to him? It was countless accusations, indiscriminate insults, insults by earthquake experts and celebrities, and threats and boycotts from many right-wing groups.
But in such a difficult situation, he still insisted on his own point of view, and even did not hesitate to take out the copyright of his property and works in Japan, in order to prove his insistence on his point of view!
These days, the "blessing" of this media, about Fang Mingyuan's shares in the two companies, as well as the approximate value of the copyrights of his works, has been estimated, if you don't consider the exchange rate and inflation, the total value in the future may exceed 500 million US dollars, of course, if you can carry out smart operations, this value may be even higher!
As soon as I thought of it, in order to remind the people of the country that vigilance was also coming, Fang Jun had to bear the unwarranted accusations and scolding from all sides of the country, and he had to pay such a high price. Especially those, because of the overwhelming accusations of experts, because of well-known figures in society, and because of the overwhelming accusations of right-wing groups, the other party has shaken his confidence and thinks that he is indeed the "day" himself with ulterior motives!
Those Japanese people who had protested in front of the Chinese embassy in Japan were even more surprised by the strange eyes of those who knew about it, making them feel uneasy to sleep.
In fact, after the Kobe earthquake, these "Ri" who had sung against Fang Mingyuan knew that things were not good, and actively sought reconciliation with Fang Mingyuan, but in their opinion, "Ri" himself should have been completely attracted by Kobe's rescue and disaster relief work, and would not shift to this matter for the time being. That way, they'll be able to have a little time to function.
But they didn't expect that the whole incident would be detonated because of a sentence from Team Lujiro before he died!
Although Ai Yamashita did not mention Fang Mingyuan's prophecy at the beginning during the interview, it is undoubtedly a tip to the point that she said the last words of Ling Lu Jiro!
And the performance of the stock market on January 24 is undoubtedly on top of this fire that has already been poured with oil, and a handful of firewood has been added!
Since the 1985 "Wide-field Agreement," the sharp appreciation of the yen has had an incalculable impact on the Japanese economy. It will have a considerable impact on Japan's export-oriented industry. In order to achieve the goal of sustained economic growth, the Japanese government has adopted a series of loose monetary policies, such as lowering interest rates, to maintain the prosperity of the domestic economy.
As a result, from 1986 onwards, the benchmark interest rate in Japan fell sharply, which caused a large amount of surplus funds in Japan to be invested in the stock market and real estate and other non-production tools, so that the stock market and real estate industry in Japan grew rapidly, and finally formed the famous Japanese bubble economy in 1990. After this economic bubble was burst by the Japanese government in 1991, the Japanese economy fell into the biggest recession after the war, which lasted for many years, and by 95 there was still no sign of recovery.
Kobe City is located in the 3rd Inu Industrial Zone of Japan, that is, the Koshin Industrial Zone of Osaka, the second largest city in Japan, and the 6th largest city of Kobe, and the Sanshin Industrial Zone is located in the Kansai Economic Circle, the second largest economic circle in Japan. In '94, the output value of the Kansai Economic Circle accounted for nearly 20 percent of Japan's GDP! Moreover, it was also the transportation hub of the Kansai region.
After the Great Kobe Earthquake, water and electricity were cut off in the area, transportation was paralyzed, small and medium-sized enterprises in Kobe City collapsed, and the equipment of large enterprises was seriously damaged, and production was forced to stop. It has greatly affected the production activities of local enterprises, and these have undoubtedly made the "Japan" economy, which has been sluggish for three consecutive years, even worse. In addition, about hundreds of financial institutions in the Junshin Industrial Zone will be closed, and life insurance companies will provide the highest amount of insurance since the end of the war. The heads and minds of the insurance companies that have business in Kobe have a strong desire to jump from the upper floors.
The damage caused by the earthquake to Japan's economy is not limited to the Quoshen Industrial Zone, but also affects the neighboring industrial zones and Japan's foreign trade. For example, Toyota and Mazda, which rely on the region to produce auto parts, have been forced to reduce production or even stop production. The tracks around Kobe on the Shinkansen high-speed railway in Japan were severely damaged and would take several months to repair and open to traffic. The same goes for the highways that pass through Kobe. The Port of Kobe is the largest port in Japan, second only to the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, ranking second in Shijie and ranking first in container throughput, but the earthquake paralyzed almost all berths in the Port of Kobe, and the most optimistic estimate will take more than half a year to return to the original level.
All these have had a serious impact on the Japanese economy!
On 24 January, the stock market opened on Japan, and as the stocks of many enterprises affected by the earthquake dived one after another, although stocks related to construction and building materials rose, the Nikkei Stock Average still fell by 8 percent in the end! And it can be seen that as the losses from the Kobe earthquake become clearer and clearer, there is still a possibility that the stock market will continue to fall!
The grief of the Japanese people for the tragic casualties of their compatriots caused by the Kobe earthquake, the clumsy performance of the Japanese government in disaster relief work, and the drastic shrinkage of personal wealth in the stock market all turned into a raging rage at this moment, like the eruption of Mt. Fuji, which erupted irrepressibly!
It is not only the people who sit at home who are angry, but also those who pray for the blessings of their fellow victims in taverns or in the streets, churches, shrines, and temples.
And the first place where this anger erupted was the city of Osaka near Kobe!
Osaka is an important port city in Japan, the largest city in Kansai, the second largest economic center in Japan, and a trade and cultural center.
It is a transportation hub in the Kansai region, and water, land, and air transportation is well developed. There is Kansai International Airport, the second largest international airport in Japan and the first in Japan to operate 24 hours a year. Osaka is home to nearly 3 million people, more than 99 percent of whom are Japanese themselves. Osan, and Kobe can be said to be adjacent to each other, and together they organize the important economic circle of Japan.
If there is one city in Japan that is more aware of the dangers of the Great Kobe Earthquake, it is Osaka, which borders Kobe!
As long as the epicenter is located a little off, I am afraid that this major earthquake will not be devastating to Kobe, but that Kobe and Osaka will suffer at the same time, and even Osaka will suffer all this! The citizens of Osaka only need to think about the fact that it is the largest city in Kansai, with nearly 3 million people. Osaka may face the same fate as Kobe, and that wordless sense of fear is like the claws of death, holding their throats to death!
Therefore, their anger at the government's ignorance of Fang Mingyuan's warning, its failure to predict the occurrence of this disaster in time, and the clumsy response after the disaster, are also extremely high!
Both fear and anger can turn into liliang, especially when both are in place!
At 9 p.m. on January 24, a large number of young people gathered at several major venues in Osaka City to hold a rally, and soon demanded that the government be held accountable for its incompetence in the disaster.
A large number of fans of Fang Mingyuan's works, after this disaster, "the worship of Fang Mingyuan can be said to have reached the extreme, and at this point, Sensoji Temple, which also issued a "warning", also enjoyed the same treatment" A large number of Tokyo "Day" himself poured into the temple to pray for the compatriots who died in the disaster, and its scale is completely comparable to the three days of the New Year. Sensoji Temple and the surrounding area have become a sea of people!
As more and more adults join, more and more people gather in several large venues."
I don't know who shouted the slogan "I want justice for Fang Jun", the crowd boiled!
