After a while, Cao Zhiqiang took Yuki Amami, her mother, and of course, his temporary assistant Furukawa Yoshiyuki, to Tokyo University of the Arts by car.

Tokyo University of the Arts is a national university and by far one of the most prestigious and authoritative art universities in Japan, especially for musical instrument performance.

Its status is similar to that of the Central Conservatory of Music in China.

There are three types of universities in Japan: national universities, public universities, and private universities.

A national university is a university of the nature of the central government that is managed by the national government under the "national university corporation", established by the national government, and the cost is also fully funded by the national government, similar to the higher education institutions directly under the Ministry of Education in China.

A public university is a university of a local government nature that is managed by a "public university corporation" and is established by a prefecture or municipality and whose fees are also provided by the local government.

Private universities refer to private universities that are managed by "school legal persons" and funded by private managers, similar to private universities in China.

Generally speaking, national universities are the first echelon and the highest level, but sometimes, the level of private universities is not bad, for example, Waseda University is a private university, and the level is very good.

In some cases, such as music, Tokyo University of the Arts, which is known as the country's No. 1 university, is not as good as a private university.

For example, Tokyo University of Music and Kiriho Gakuen University are very strong in music, and there are many celebrities.

The reason for this is because music, or musical instrument playing, is not something that ordinary poor people can play.

Regardless of the past, present or future, those who can play musical instruments generally have good family conditions, after all, compared to learning ordinary textbook knowledge, learning music is very expensive, and even more expensive than learning art.

In this case, only wealthy families can let their children learn music, and they must start learning it from an early age.

However, there is still a problem with learning music, and that is that it is very talented.

For ordinary people, if the talent is not particularly strong, it is almost enough to learn a fur.

Therefore, if it is a middle-class family, even if you can afford your children to learn music from an early age, most of them are limited by talent and often learn as a hobby, and rarely enter the professional route.

Even if I can barely enter the professional route and enter the relevant higher conservatory of music for further study, I will face a job assignment problem after graduation.

And often when it comes time to assign jobs, public universities are generally inferior to private universities.

The reasons are more complicated, but they can be summed up in two words - circles!

In a society like Japan, due to historical reasons, the power structure is relatively rigid.

In other words, in Japan, it seems to be a modern international that is democratic and fair, but that is only for the middle and lower classes.

In fact, the superstructure on the top floor has long been firmly controlled by some families.

For example, Japan's political family, consortium family, entertainment family, and so on.

It's just that post-war Japan, because it was completely reformed by the father of the United States, did not form a phenomenon like South Korea where a certain family controls a certain economic lifeline, but it has formed a unique circle culture.

For example, the famous Toyota Motor in Japan, many people think that this company is controlled by the Mitsui family, but it is not.

Toyota is really controlled by the Toyota family, and the Mitsui family's shareholding ratio is actually only ranked ninth.

It's just that the Toyota family and the Mitsui family have always been strategic allies, and they have been marrying each other, and the two sides are a kind of alliance of interests.

South Korea's chaebols are different, and it is really a certain family that has an absolute monopoly in a certain industry.

For example, South Korea's Samsung occupies an absolute hegemony in the semiconductor industry, and then extends to other industries, becoming the well-deserved first family in South Korea, controlling all aspects of South Korea.

To put it more simply, the difference between the Korean chaebol and the Japanese consortium is actually the difference in the degree of monopoly control, similar to the relationship between trusts and cartels.

South Korea's chaebols are more like trusts, while Japan's conglomerates are more like cartels.

Japan's early chaebol was also very controlling, but after being rectified by the United States, it became the current loose alliance, basically each in charge.

For example, a consortium that does business in Japan is just focused on doing business in related industries, and should not easily meddle in politics.

Another example is the gatekeeper who engages in politics in Japan, and he is focused on politics and does not easily meddle in business.

There are also more specific subdivisions, such as those who shoot TV should not interfere too much with filmmaking, those who make movies should not interfere too much with singing, and those who sing should not interfere too much with news, which is probably like this.

Since the development of Japanese society, basically from top to bottom, all strata have been controlled by different families, which is the so-called "social structure consolidation", and the most obvious place is that the upward channel of the people at the bottom is getting narrower and narrower.

Take an ordinary commoner's son as an example.

Even if this commoner kid is very talented in music, he was indeed able to rely on his talent and hard work to be admitted to the relatively fair Tokyo National University of the Arts, and he still studied hard here and got a real further study.

However, this person who has both hard work and talent, if it is time to graduate, he will face the cruel truth, that is, he can't find a good job and can't continue to upgrade.

In Japan, the best way out for musicians is to join various well-known orchestras and become a performer.

But in reality, this situation is only a handful and basically impossible.

In most cases, those so-called well-known orchestras are surrounded by various musical families and the children of wealthy people.

The children of ordinary musical families, as well as the children of the really wealthy, if they really take the musical route, they will rarely let their children go to public schools, but to private schools.

One of the advantages of private schools is that most of them are consistent.

That is to say, from primary school to university, it is all one, which means that if you enter the primary school of this private school system, you basically don't have to worry about going to university, because then you can go to the university of this system without exams.

Of course, this kind of private school is not managed by sheep herding, on the contrary, the management is particularly strict.

Basically, from elementary school onwards, this kind of private school is managed very strictly, and it is basically similar to militarized education.

The children of the rich begin to be strictly educated from an early age, all the way to university, and the level of education received in this is not at all comparable to that of public schools.

If it's just like that, it's even more outrageous, but it's the situation after graduation.

Most of the students at public universities have to find their own way after graduation, such as Cao Zhiqiang's temporary assistant Yoshiyuki Furukawa, which is a typical example.

But private university students basically don't have this worry.

Most of the students at private universities are elites in various industries, and most of them return to work in their own family businesses after graduation, or go directly to work as assistants to a political official, and then gradually enter the official career.

Although Japan also has a civil service system, and civil servants must take a public examination before they can enter, these civil servants are all administrative officials, and they do things concretely, similar to the officials in Japan.

In Japan, there is a policy of separating administrative officials from administrative officials, and administrative officials are politicians who make policies.

Registrars generally refer to those civil servants.

Generally speaking, the clerk listens to the magistrate.

That is to say, the children of rich and powerful families do not have to worry about a way out after graduation, even if you are studying music and want to continue to follow the path of music, you can also directly introduce you to work in a certain orchestra, or enter a music club and work in a related industry.

And whether it is a place in these orchestras or clubs, the children of ordinary people have no chance to get them.

It's not a question of whether your level is enough, it's a question of whether your family's strength is qualified enough.

Only when the family strength is qualified can they be accepted into that small circle, and then the people in the circle help each other and form a natural community of interests, occupying the pit together and excluding others.

Of course, if you are really a child of a commoner, but you are really talented, then the private school will also admit you exceptionally, and give you a treatment that ordinary public schools will never get.

As a result, outstanding talents are sucked into private schools, and those who go out of public schools can only continue to have a good academic qualification, and then continue to work for the children of those families.

Among them, the most typical example is Seiji Ozawa, one of the three legendary conductors of the East.

Seiji Ozawa did come from a poor background, but his accomplishments in music conducting were unparalleled, and he showed his talent early on.

It was precisely because he showed his talent in this area early on,Tongpeng School Park took the initiative to find him,Give him a series of preferential treatment。

It's also because of this that Seiji Ozawa didn't get admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts, but went to Tongpeng Academy.

After entering,Tong Peng School Park is really going all out to cultivate him,And after he graduated,,The school is still supportive,Not only to help him enter the circle of Japan's top musicians,But also to create various opportunities for him。

For example, the inside story of his victory in the international conducting competition in Besançon, France, was actually paved for him by the top management of Tongpeng Academy.

Otherwise, ordinary people with ordinary heads will not know what the French Besançon International Conducting Competition is, or even whether they have the money to go abroad.

Seiji Ozawa's later glory, such as various tours, various awards, and various halos, actually has the shadow of the family's capital behind it, and his so-called success does not completely depend on himself, but there are many inhumane operations in it.

Of course, this situation is not unsolvable, you just need to go off the beaten path, don't go to the upper circle that has been solidified to find a pit, and take a more civilian star route.

The most typical example of success is probably Richard Clayderman.

Speaking of Richard Clayderman, many people have the impression that he is the prince of piano, the piano is very powerful, there are many platinum records, and he is a star in the piano world.

However, few people know that this Richard Clayderman is not particularly top-notch in the professional field, and he has never won any decent, authoritative piano awards.

For example, he has won all the awards of the four most authoritative competitions in the piano world, the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Tchaikovsky International Music Competition, the Leeds International Piano Competition, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

Even in the second-class Liszt Piano Competition, this guy has never won an award in it.

Richard Clayderman has only won a so-called Golden Piano Award, but it is an award given by a TV selection program, and the awards are all amateurs, and there is no authority at all.

In other words, the so-called "only" "Golden Piano Award" is actually a mockery for Richard Clayderman.

In fact, many top professional pianists actually look down on Richard Kleiderman, thinking that he is a clown, and he is not the same kind of person as the top pianists in their circle.

This is indeed true, but on the other hand, most people in the world know that the prince of piano is Richard Clayderman, and how many people know those so-called top international pianists?

Further, is Richard Clayderman a success in terms of himself?

Cao Zhiqiang believes that Richard Clayderman can definitely be regarded as a successful person.

At least, he gained fame and fortune, even if he was not high in pure musical achievement.

In fact, for ordinary people, it is enough to gain fame and fortune, especially to make money.

As for whether you can get the affirmation of professionals on the professional road, it doesn't matter.

In the same way, the students who signed a contract with Cao Zhiqiang at Tokyo University of the Arts this time, whether they are dancing or playing musical instruments, in addition to being good-looking women, also have a common feature that they are from average backgrounds and are not real children of a family.

As for the professional level, it can only be said to reach the professional level.

After all, being able to enter Tokyo University of the Arts shows that they have certain attainments in related fields, otherwise they would not have been able to get in.

Such people, generally after graduation, most of them will submit their resumes everywhere and go to a music training class to become a teacher, or return to their hometown school to become a music teacher.

That's right, for these people, their approximate way out is these.

As for what it means to join an orchestra, tour everywhere, become a celebrity or something, I'm sorry, it's basically impossible for these people.

Because whether you join a professional orchestra after graduation or tour everywhere, you must not only be talented, but also have channels and nobles.

But as far as these female students are concerned, their appearance is passable, their level has reached the professional level, and their family backgrounds are very common, so if people like this are not ingenious, like Richard Clayderman, and take the civilian star route, it will be no fun at all.

But even if they want to take the civilian star route, they still need nobles to support the organization behind them.

In other words, they can all be regarded as Maxima, but it's a pity that there is a lack of Bole who can make good use of them.

After all, Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have it.

Before, they didn't have that Bole.

Now there is.

That's right, their Bole is me, Cao Zhiqiang! (End of chapter)
