Misako Ishihara noticed that her sister-in-law, Nao Ishihara, was leaving with an unhappy face. She didn't have to ask, and she knew that the other party and her man didn't talk about it.

Misako Ishihara asked out of curiosity, "It's rare for your sister to come to our house once." Why did you upset her? ”

Hideki Ishihara said truthfully: "My sister came to our house this time to be a lobbyist. She didn't come to be a lobbyist for others, she was a lobbyist for herself.

The problem is that it is I who suffers, and it is my sister who benefits the most. She just wanted me to take over the Karuizawa Group's mega project in Wakayama City.

According to my sister's ideal state, this will allow her to obtain the coveted position of a director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and secondly, it will be a good breath of evil in her chest. ”

Ishihara Misako had already heard of this and said, "As far as I know, my father is asking his eldest daughter Mizuki Kudo to be in charge. ”

Hideki Ishihara smiled and said, "You're quite well-informed!" ”

Misako Ishihara said seriously: "I was really surprised to have Mitsuki Kudo in charge of such a big project. However, I believe that Dad definitely has his considerations in mind.

If he had fallen in love with your sister from the beginning, he would have sent her directly to take charge. Since there is no such thing, then he thinks that your sister is not the most suitable person. ”

Hideki Ishihara pointed out sharply: "Let's not talk about the success of the project, if I really let my sister be responsible, I don't know how many people will die by then?"

A new round of price increases in Japan has begun. For ordinary people, this is tantamount to increasing the cost of survival.

The city of Wakayama originally existed as a steel base for Japan, or western Japan. Nowadays, the steel mills there cannot afford to leave, which means that the local economy will not be good.

I dare say that many workers not only do not receive their full monthly wages, but they are also severely in arrears. This is not even, and there are those who are owed half a year's wages.

Even if ordinary people still have some savings in them, they can't help but be unable to enter and exit for such a long time. If there are people who are saddled with a mortgage for 35 years, the pressure is even greater.

At this time, with one more straw, it can really be completely crushed. In my personal opinion, it is an out-and-out powder keg, and if it is not handled properly, it can be blown up with a little spark. ”

Misako Ishihara raised a question of her own: "How can those who have no savings or have spent all their savings live?" ”

Hideki Ishihara felt that her words were funny: "You were born well, so naturally you can't empathize with ordinary people in this aspect."

In order to be able to survive, people will naturally do everything they can. Borrowing credit cards, borrowing loan sharks...... and even secretly do something illegal.

The poet and playwright of the former Soviet Union, Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky, in his work "Cloud in Pants", has this sentence, when society pushes you to the corner, do not forget that there is a road behind you, and that is crime, and there is no shame in remembering it.

Don't think that Japan is a developed country, and its per capita GDP is more than 30,000 US dollars. In fact, the Japanese, to be precise, ordinary Japanese, don't have much money at all. ”

Misako Ishihara suddenly realized: "Dad didn't appoint your sister to be in charge of that mega project in Wakayama City because of her good background, and she can't understand the difficulties of ordinary people." ”

Hideki Ishihara smiled and praised, "Bingo." My wife is really Bingxue smart. ”

Hideki Ishihara said slowly: "I remember the news that a tour group of Japanese people traveled to Singapore to lose face, and it also alarmed the wife of the Prime Minister of Singapore.

This happened when a Japanese traveler from the tour group ordered an Alaskan king crab at a high-end restaurant in Singapore.

Because this ingredient is expensive, the restaurant checked with the customer for this purpose before finally cooking it.

When he finished eating, he said that he didn't have enough money to pay the bill. The total cost, I say it, and you will definitely laugh. It's only 100,000 yen, not even 110,000 yen. ”

Misako Ishihara blinked twice and said in disbelief: "It can't be fake news, right?" ”

Hideki Ishihara didn't say and laughed: "Real people and real things." For you, that's it, it's not worth mentioning at all. However, for ordinary Japanese, it was a pretending to overturn or a hot head at the time, and it was impulsive.

Who is a wealthy Japanese who would join a tour with a lot of people? Even if it's not a one-on-one high-end trip, it's at least a free trip.

If you go to Singapore, even if you don't speak Chinese, English is also unimpeded. Well-educated Japanese people have no problem conversing in English.

Only uneducated Japanese people have problems with daily English conversations, so they don't dare to go abroad alone or with three or five friends. As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped.

Besides, I didn't go far, but only to Singapore in Southeast Asia. Even for ordinary Japanese people, it can be regarded as a poor trip abroad.

The Japanese, who have a little money, either go to the United States, Canada, or Western Europe and Northern Europe. Otherwise, it's to Australia. Who will be going around the Southeast Ocean at Japan's doorstep?

As long as it is a famous private junior high school or high school, the first stop of the study abroad tour will often be one of the Southeast Asian countries. Many students also choose one of the Southeast Asian countries for their graduation trips abroad.

Why? It's not because it's cost-effective, it's economical. Even middle-class Japanese families have at most one family trip abroad once a year.

This brings us back to Singapore. Even though the country's per capita GDP is more than $80,000, more than double that of Japan, there are still many poor people and many people living on government handouts.

Does Singapore's wealth have much to do with Singapore's ordinary people? The answer is no. Singapore is a country that also does not raise lazy people.

The large number of silver-haired people you see in Japan are still busy working, and you can see them everywhere in Singapore. Even if you retire at the legal age, you will not retire, after all, the pension is too small, and the price is too high to spend.

Singapore, like Tokyo, is not only home to most of the world's top 500 multinational companies, but also to a lot of wealthy people.

Especially the wealthy people from all over the world. Some of them are not ordinary rich, but very rich. They have purchased real estate, opened a company or office, and even become a naturalized Singaporean. ”
