Chapter 129: Akira Yamazaki

Due to Downing's special status and the particularity of the munitions industry he was engaged in, his industry was not affected by the Dodge route, on the contrary, because of the closure of some factories and the increase in the number of unemployed, it made it easier for his factory to recruit people, and at the same time, the workers who had already obtained jobs in the factory cherished this position more.

Although the overall situation is favorable to Downing's planning and development, discordant notes still exist. In particular, the problem actually appeared in Yoshiko Matsuda, who has always been known for her calm and witty, this woman was actually fooled by an illegal fundraising called the "Light Club", not only invested her own savings, but also went to Okinawa to persuade Tang Ning to join the club.

Although Tang Ning is not proficient in finance, after all, he has been wearing it since 2015, and just by looking at the propaganda model of this so-called "light club", he knows that this must be illegal fundraising. To put it simply, his mode of operation is this: he raises funds from the private sector at a high interest rate of 13%, and then lends to companies that need them at a higher interest rate. At the same time, because of his initial success, he also attracted other investors to continue to provide him with funds to obtain high profits, so that he could use the funds raised thereafter to pay off the interest required for the previous fundraising, and the company continued to grow.

This is not a new trick in 2015, but the problem is now 1949, and the one who can come up with such a trick is an absolute genius. In fact, this is because Downing does not know enough about the financial history of post-war Japan, otherwise he would have known about the owner of this "Light Club" - Yamazaki Koji.

"Please note that do not touch my body before the examination, contact the Kyobashi Police Station immediately in accordance with the law, and conduct an autopsy in accordance with legal procedures after the examination. The cause of my death was poisoning, the poison was hydrocyanic acid, please burn my body afterwards and sell my ashes as fertilizer to the farmer."

This sober text is not from a novel, but from the last words of a Japanese university student named Koji Yamazaki in 1949, who even wrote in the signature of the will: "I took poison at 11:48:55 p.m. and wrote it at 11:49 p.m." Who is the owner of such an unusually calm last word?

Kotsugu Yamazaki was a man of the postwar years in Japan. It was also the idol of many young people.

Japan's post-war society was extremely poor, and many families had to live in discarded trams or cement pipes. But in this case, this Japanese student named Koji Yamazaki was able to leap to his feet, even though he had not yet graduated when he committed suicide. But he and his companions are already running a semi-underground financing company called the Light Club. At that time, the company already had a capital of 6 million yen, which is equivalent to about 600 million yuan today.

Koji Yamazaki was born in October 1923 in Chiba Prefecture into a family of doctors. In 1942, he was admitted to the University of Tokyo, Japan's highest university, and entered the most prestigious faculty of law. In 1944, he was recruited by the Japanese Army as a student soldier to work as an accountant, and during his tenure as an accountant he was involved in a corruption case. In order to protect the honor and status of his superiors, he took all the charges and was punished by himself. As a result, when he was released from prison. only to find out that the boss had already betrayed his promise. In 1946, shortly after the war, he returned to the University of Tokyo to resume his studies. He pulled a few like-minded students to open a financial club called "Light Club" in Nakano, and raised funds from the private sector at a usury of 13%, and then raised money from people at a usury of 21% to 30%, and raised 10 million yen at that time within three months of opening. In January 1949, his club entered Ginza from Nakano, and at that time it had a capital of 6 million yen, 400 shareholders, and 30 members. In November 1949, the company already owed 30 million yen in debt, but only 3 million yen could be repaid. Unable to do anything, Koji Yamazaki finally committed suicide by drinking hydrocyanic acid in his office on the day the repayment deadline arrived. The suicide note left on the desk in the office also wrote, "Contracts bind human relations and do not apply to objects such as dead people." So I have to die".

In Japan, there were many incidents such as Koji Yamazaki who suddenly made a fortune and suddenly plummeted after the war, reflecting one aspect of the social changes in Japan during the transition period at that time. Yamazaki is unique in his rightful coldness, a standard follower of thick black science, in Chinese parlance.

If we pursue Koji Yamazaki's psychological journey, we will see more things.

In 1949, shortly after Japan's defeat in World War II, a series of social changes took place in Japanese values, and the pursuit of happiness gradually became different from before. The traditional Japanese belief is that being honest and working hard is the only way to success, but Koji Yamazaki was recruited by the Japanese Army as a student soldier to serve as an accountant during the war. During his tenure as an accountant, he was involved in a corruption case. According to tradition, in order to protect the honor and status of his superiors, he was punished for all the crimes alone. As a result, when he was released from prison, he found that his boss had already broken his promise. that he will gain nothing.

Since then, Yamazaki no longer believes in morality and justice, and he himself believes that he is indeed different from others, and this difference is that he has a genius mind, and a calm or cold mind that is completely different from others. Koji Yamazaki himself once wrote a banner saying "I am a genius, I am a superman". Of course. This concept of genius and superman did not fall from the sky, because when he was at the University of Tokyo, he achieved a surprising score of 17 out of 20 courses, but what is even more surprising is that when we found the documents left by Koji Yamazaki, we found that he allocated time according to minutes in his daily activity plan, so his life every day is like a machine, including the time of study is from what time to what time, and the time of sleep is from what time to what point, Even the time to have a girlfriend is from what time to what time, and even the time to sleep with a lover ** must be calculated in minutes!

Koji Yamazaki believes that he can achieve more success than others because of his understanding of society and life that is different from others, and because he dares to break the shackles of human feelings. Not to be completely arrogant at all, not only did he have excellent grades, but he once had eight lovers, and he relied on his powerful manipulation of time to maneuver between them. Eight, according to the principles of management, a leader can only bring seven directly managed subordinates at most, and Yamazaki can handle eight lovers in batches, which is really what no ordinary person can do.
