Chapter 2 Fat Man
The weather in Tokyo is not necessarily better than in Guangzhou, and the summer is hot and humid.
It was a sudden rain, and Ringer was doused on the head.
Shaking the raindrops off his head, Ringer walked into a sushi restaurant where he worked for the summer.
It's been more than a week since Ringer was reborn, and the university is on summer vacation for a while, but he doesn't know what he can do yet, so he will follow the original route and come out for a summer job. In his previous life, he was a sales director of a small online company, and thanks to the fact that the company was opened by his uncle, Ringer was able to become a small director, and now he is reborn, but he doesn't know what to do.
Start a business and be a big boss? Ringer felt powerless, from 18 years to 11 years, he knew that there were many opportunities to make money in the past seven years, but he had no capital and no background, and he was not qualified to compete with others.
Most societies will enter the era of oligarchs after a certain degree of society, all walks of life have their own bosses, these bosses have a tacit understanding with each other to control the door, and the emerging forces are either suppressed by the oligarchs, or obediently share the cake in their hands.
In such a context, it is difficult to have the kind of situation that subverts an industry by itself.
Europe and the United States are an out-and-out oligarchic era, and China will slowly enter this era. Of course, today's China has not yet reached that level, and if you want to counterattack, you have to hurry up, and after entering the era of oligarchs, the passage of people at the bottom to the upper echelons will only become more and more difficult.
Ringer didn't want to start a business, and in addition to the reasons mentioned above, there was another point. Reborn in a lifetime, Ringer also has a little fire in his heart, he doesn't expect to make much money to become a rich man, he wants to be famous and in the limelight, and he wants to be admired by thousands of people.
But for the time being, these only exist in fantasy.
"Hello, Mr. Ito." When he walks into a sushi restaurant, Ringer first goes to greet the manager, which is very important in Japan.
Ito, a lean Japanese man with a moustache who is the manager and owner of the shop, is a bit old-fashioned, but he is a good person, and Ringer often worked in the store during the holidays of his last life.
"Lin Jun, you're here." Ito replied simply.
In Japan, it is common to add titles such as "Jun, San, and Sauce" after calling someone else's first name or surname, in which Jun is generally an elder to a junior or a senior to a junior, mostly for men, but peers are more familiar with each other and can also be called each other by Jun, Ito as the store manager is also an uncle, and the elder is a jun, so naturally Ringer is called Jun; Mulberry is a more formal title, which is widely used and can be used by both men and women, and in most cases it is okay; Sauce is a more intimate name, used for younger children or to increase intimacy between peers, mostly for women, with the meaning of "small", the famous Japanese anime "Naruto", the heroine Haruno Sakura is often called Sakura-chan, that is, the meaning of Sakura.
Business at Ito's sushi restaurant is relatively average, but it's almost time for lunch, and Ringer is busy in the store.
After a day at Ito Sushi, Ringer returned to his apartment, which was located in Shinjuku Ward.
"Xiao Linzi, you just happened to go out to work again?" A fat man is lying on the couch watching TV.
The fat man is Ringer's roommate Wang Wenzhi, and he is also a child, the two grew up, and Ringer would come to Japan to study at university was also pushed by him, otherwise Ringer is mostly studying at a university in China now.
"I'm fine for a long time, and life naturally has to get back on track." Ringer also used to sit on the couch.
"Won't you go to work tomorrow? Yan Ming ~ They are about to be together tomorrow ~ Earth (kicking football). The fat man was stuffing food into his mouth, and he couldn't speak.
"Okay, I don't have to go to work tomorrow, I just happened to be active, and after lying down for a few days, the whole person is about to rust." Ringer stretched.
"Okay, that's it, I've made an appointment with them to go to the bar, will you go?" Seeing that Ringer agreed, the fat man sat up at once.
"I'm not going, I'm so tired today, I want to go to bed early."
Although the fat man and Ringer are young, the family conditions of the two are different, the fat man's family is an official, and he is an out-and-out second-generation official, while Ringer's parents are gardeners, his father is a university professor, and his mother is a high school teacher, and the family conditions are much worse. However, the relationship between the two families in my grandfather's generation was very good, and the home was close, so I naturally played together when I was a child.
Ringer's parents were both teachers, and he knew a lot of teachers, which made Ringer grow up under the supervision of his parents from elementary school to high school. He still clearly remembers that when he was in junior high school, he only held the hand of the girl he liked the day before, and the next day his family knew that his hazy and beautiful first love was beaten by a stick and died without a problem.
Taizu said well, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Uh~ Did he say it from his old man? Whether it's true or not, it's true.
When Ringer was in high school, this oppression reached its peak, his homeroom teacher and school director was his mother, and Ringer felt that he was being watched 24 hours a day, like a living scene of "Truman's World", so Ringer's resistance was also maximized.
It just so happened that at this time, the fat man with bad grades planned to come to Japan to study at university, so he found Ringer, saying that there are many Japanese beauties, and how about Teacher Kura Bodo, in short, Ringer just believed in his evil, and hit it off and planned to study in Japan together, escaping from the supervision of his parents.
Naturally, his family was against it, but Ringer thought that this opposition was actually an attempt to continue to spy on him, and his desire to study abroad was even more firm, and finally his family made a concession, saying that as long as he could be admitted to the University of Tokyo, he would let him study in Japan. Ringer also made the most of his nerdy head, and finally got in, which led to the trip to Japan.
The University of Tokyo is the best university in Japan and one of the best universities in Asia, and it is not easier to get into a top university in China than to get in, and the most important thing is to spend time learning Japanese.
Ringer studied at the University of Tokyo, and the university that the fat man studied is also famous in China, Waseda University.
In Japan, universities are divided into public universities and private universities, if you make a simple and clear distinction, that is, public universities have high thresholds and difficult to get into but cheap tuition, and private universities have super expensive tuition fees but are easy to enter, Waseda University is one of the famous private universities in Japan.
In the early years, many Chinese came to Japan to study, and many of them entered Waseda, including ****** Song Jiaoren and so on, which made Waseda quite famous in China, no worse than the University of Tokyo.
Of course, Waseda has such a big reputation, which is also related to its literary and artistic name. Many times, a good name can really attract a lot of attention, for example, Tsinghua University is well-known in Japan, but when many Japanese people talk about Tsinghua, the most is - the name is super good, and they don't know much about it.
