Chapter 282: Hydrogen Energy
Shuichi Kudo took the initiative to get out of bed with his bare ass. Facing Nakano Sakura, he learned the posture of a professional politician in public.
Shuichi Kudo said, "In the past, when I mentioned the second largest city in Japan. Everyone thinks of Osaka. Today, Japan's second largest city is not Osaka, but Yokohama.
Why did Yokohama rise to prominence? It has not benefited greatly from the positive and positive effects of the Tokyo metropolitan area's economy.
In addition to the Tokyo metropolitan area, the other two metropolitan areas in Japan are showing more or less economic downturn.
The city of Wakayama, as well as the entire prefecture of Wakayama, is part of the Osaka metropolitan area. Due to the weakness of the Osaka metropolitan area, Wakayama City also failed.
As for the Nagoya metropolitan area, which is the last, it is also in the midst of storms. As we all know, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture is the home base of Toyota Motors.
Toyota's global revenue is not as good as before, which has seriously dragged down the economy of Nagoya and even the entire Aichi Prefecture.
Toyota's change of leadership has proved that oil vehicles are no longer a general direction and trend in the future development of automobiles. Toyota Motor Corporation announced that it will increase its research and development efforts in electric vehicles in the future.
In fact, this shift in the direction of decision-making is already lagging behind. Of course, it's not that Toyota doesn't want to forge ahead, but it only knows how to eat the old book, but it has its own helplessness. ”
He stopped when he said this, straightened his back, and continued with his head held high: "On the one hand, the ship is in a big difficulty and turns around. Once Toyota changes its major strategic decision from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles, it will directly affect the survival of many related parts companies.
This will inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of a large number of enterprises, and at the same time, a large number of employees will lose their jobs. On the other hand, hydrogen energy, which is subject to the Japanese government's big gamble.
The Japanese government's original vision was that once a technological breakthrough in hydrogen energy was made, it would become the only unicorn in the world in this field.
This will then be applied to the business field, and then it will be proactive in all directions to seize the global market. The first rollout will be on a number of local Japanese car brands such as Toyota.
For this reason, Toyota Motor has not announced a new vehicle related to hydrogen energy. However, in the end, there was no mass production, let alone market promotion, or there was no major and bottleneck technological breakthrough in hydrogen energy technology.
Even though Japan is already far ahead in the field of hydrogen energy, it has not yet achieved complete success. The good of hydrogen energy is by no means comparable to the current lithium battery.
Even if Tesla's Musk publicly diss over hydrogen energy, in my personal opinion, it is more out of his own commercial interests.
This is exactly the same as the former president of Toyota Motor, Akio Toyoda, who has publicly dised many times that lithium electric cars are the same purpose.
In addition to almost no pollution, hydrogen energy also has the advantages of high energy density, light weight, and short hydrogen refueling time.
For this reason, not only Japan, but also China, the United States, Canada and other countries are still insisting on investing in hydrogen energy and research and development. ”
Nakano Sakura, who was sitting on the bed, winked at him twice, and said inexplicably, "What do you want to say?" ”
Shuichi Kudo points out, "If you want Wakayama City to grow, you must first have an economic pillar industry. Although hydrogen energy is still facing a lot of difficulties and problems at present, I am very optimistic.
If Wakayama City can give preferential policies in the area of hydrogen energy, it will be tantamount to making a big investment in the future of Wakayama City.
Of course, it can also be seen as a big bet. The preferential government policies I just mentioned should not only be in terms of tax reductions and exemptions, but should also provide cash subsidies or direct investment.
Once successful, the economy of Wakayama City will be able to take off immediately. Local governments have been able to achieve a bumper harvest in both tax collection and finance. People belong to economic animals, and if the economy is good, they will take the initiative to run there.
With a good job and a stable income, you can retain people, and you can have children with peace of mind. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
No matter how much the government subsidizes to encourage childbirth, it is a drop in the bucket and does not fundamentally solve the substantive problems of young people. ”
Nakano Sakura directly applauded with "pop" hands and said, "Okay! I really didn't expect you to come up with such a good idea. ”
Kudo Shuichi smiled bitterly: "Although the method is good, the risk is also very large. What I said earlier is based on the success of hydrogen.
If it fails, all the financial resources invested by Wakayama City will be wasted. At that time, there is a good chance that the Wakayama city government will face bankruptcy.
I'm definitely not alarmist. In addition, the mayor and other relevant personnel will inevitably have to take full responsibility for this one matter, and I am afraid that the voices of the citizens of Wakayama City will be heard endlessly demanding that they die for their crimes. ”
Nakano Sakura suddenly realized: "Don't say that your current mayor of Wakayama City will not adopt this plan.
Suppose you become the mayor of Wakayama City and come up with such a plan, it will not be passed by the city council. As you say, it's a gamble. ”
Shuichi Kudo said seriously: "The current economic predicament in Wakayama City is very difficult to break. By the way, since last year, the Kyoto City Government has been tightening its finances.
If they don't take this one step, Kyoto City will face bankruptcy. From this point of view, there are not many cities in Japan that have a good economy.
The concentration of such a large amount of resources in the Tokyo metropolitan area is not a good thing. In the future, Japan will be like South Korea today.
A city's economy is the economic core of a country. If something goes wrong there, the entire national economy will almost collapse. ”
Nakano Sakura was half-serious, half-joking: "Why don't you submit this plan to your father?" If we grow up and think your plan is feasible, then you will be a great contributor.
In that way, not only will you be able to get out of the bitter sea of Wakayama City, but you will also be regarded as a rare talent by your father. ”
Kudo Shuichi laughed dryly and said, "Even if my dad has such an investment intention, he may not implement the plan in Wakayama City." Isn't this good in Yokohama?
You should know that not only Wakayama City has a port to the sea, but Yokohama City also has it, and the latter is also located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Economic Zone, which is closer to Tokyo. ”
