Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 716 Please don’t insult my moral bottom line!
"So, you are Xiao Baihe's lover, right?"

As soon as Sachiko Fujita said these words, she looked at Cao Zhiqiang immediately.

It seemed that the other party wanted to observe Cao Zhiqiang's reaction at close range to confirm his guess.

That's right, Sachiko Fujita has no evidence at all, and her words are just a test.

Cao Zhiqiang had already realized this, so when he heard Sachiko Fujita say this and looked at him at the same time, he showed just the right expression of surprise, which then turned into amusement.

After shaking his head, Cao Zhiqiang smiled with a speechless expression: "No, Lawyer Fujita, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said, you are slandering me for no reason!
What kind of lover is not a lover? Your words not only insulted me, but also insulted Yoshinaga-senpai.

Fortunately, there is no one else here, otherwise it would be a big deal. "

"What, you don't admit it?" Sachiko Fujita narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Of course I won't admit it." Cao Zhiqiang said immediately, "Why should I admit it if it doesn't happen?"

Sachiko Fujita looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and then smiled softly: "Don't be nervous, actually it doesn't matter even if it is, I don't care about the matter itself.

On the contrary, as a good friend of Xiao Baihe, I really hope that she can live a happy life.

If you can make Xiao Baihe happy, I would like to thank you and will help you more carefully in the future. "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "I'm really sorry. Don't say that Senior Jiyong doesn't mean that at all. Even if she does, I can't agree."

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "As you can see, my relationship with Mingcai is unusual. Mingcai is young and beautiful, and has a sweet voice. Why should I leave the young unmarried girl alone and go find...right? ?”

Fujita Sachiko smiled, no longer looking at Cao Zhiqiang, but continued to look forward and said: "Maybe you like this kind of young lady. It's not like I have never seen this kind of boy."

Cao Zhiqiang continued to shake his head, then suddenly became serious and said:
“It’s getting more and more outrageous.

Maybe there are people who like older people, but I'm definitely not one.

So don't make this joke unless you have solid proof!

This kind of joke is bad and not funny at all!
Please don't insult my moral bottom line!
Don’t even insult Yoshinaga-senpai’s innocence! "

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was serious, Fujita Yukiko curled her lips slightly: "Well, since you don't admit it, just think of it as a random guess.

In this way, since it is my fault, I will help you with the review of the house sales contract this time for free. You can still get it, right? "

"Oh, that's a good feeling." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Thank you very much."

Sachiko Fujita smiled faintly and did not reply.

After that, Sachiko Fujita and Cao Zhiqiang had nothing to say anymore, and they went all the way to the headquarters of Nishimura Real Estate.

Although Nishimura Real Estate is a real estate company, its real headquarters building is in the suburbs.

The Nishimura Real Estate in downtown Tokyo is just an agency that rents a few office buildings.

In other words, the so-called West Village Real Estate is actually a township enterprise in domestic terms.

But precisely because it is a township enterprise, thanks to the Tokyo government's policy of strongly supporting small businesses, it can get preferential loans and several pieces of land in the port area for development at low prices.

Yes, the Japanese government in the 80s, at least in the Tokyo area, actually maintained a suppressive policy towards large real estate companies. On the contrary, it generally had a supportive attitude toward small and medium-sized real estate companies.

Not only real estate companies, but also some manufacturing factories also focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.

For example, Taiyo Yuden was originally a small enterprise. Thanks to the government's support, it later became bigger and stronger.

Of course, this so-called suppression of large companies and support for small businesses is just superficial.

The main reason is that large companies have begun to make joint efforts under the guidance of the government and then collectively enter overseas markets.

In this case, the thankless part of the domestic work is handed over to small and medium-sized enterprises, which can expand employment and reduce financial burdens.

It may be necessary to ask whether supporting small and medium-sized enterprises has something to do with increasing employment rates and reducing financial burdens.

It's a big deal.

Because large companies in Japan have a seniority-based system, both salaries and benefits are extremely high.

If large enterprises are allowed to expand domestically, their personnel will also expand accordingly, and the corresponding salary expenditures will naturally increase accordingly. This is obviously not in line with the business philosophy of the enterprise.

Therefore, after entering the 70s, with the substantial increase in wages in Japan and the appreciation of the yen, major Japanese companies reduced the amount of domestic recruitment and instead expanded investment abroad, especially in developing countries. investment intensity.

Southeast Asia, for example, is Japan's investment focus.

After entering the 80s, with the slowdown in domestic GDP growth, the appreciation of the yen, and the continued rise in domestic wages, Japan began to focus its investment on Europe and the United States.

Yes, the appreciation of the yen did not just appear after the Plaza Accord. It had been appreciating before, but the appreciation was very small and within a controllable range.

But after the Plaza Accord, there was a sharp appreciation in the short term, coupled with the prohibition of financial controls and the free entry and exit of foreign capital, this made Japan a leek for Western financial groups.

Relatively speaking, Japan's manufacturing industry, such as Toyota and other groups, operates relatively conservatively and is relatively resistant to foreign investment. Therefore, it is difficult for foreign investors to directly intervene in Japan's manufacturing industry and can only harvest Japanese stocks and real estate.

Originally, the Japanese government believed that as long as it maintained its manufacturing industry, nothing else mattered.

It's a pity that they underestimated the power of the economic crisis and human greed.

So in the end, we all know that when the economic bubble blows up, all the real estate speculators, including big companies, can't help but take action.

Then when the bubble burst, most of the market value evaporated, and the whole of Japan became depressed and almost completely lost confidence.

The essence of the economy is actually the human heart, or confidence and desire.

A nation without confidence and desire will not be able to revitalize the economy.

On the contrary, the country next door is poor, but the overall people are full of confidence and are focused on making money.

It is the desire to be well-off and make money that supports China's long-term GDP growth and long-term economic prosperity.

Perhaps it should be said that Japan and the Four Asian Tigers have also experienced an era of long-term double-digit GDP growth. Your country's rapid economic growth is not unusual, and it is even worse.

In fact, this is to change the concept secretly, or to deceive people.

The reason is that whether Japan or the Four Asian Tigers, these fast-growing economies are single small economies, which do not have so many population burdens and do not have so many big country responsibilities.

For example, South Korea's overall area is not as large as that of a province in my country, and its population is also not as large. If such a small economy is placed in an economic cooperation structure led by the United States, and it can be exposed to it at will, the economy will surge.

The same is true for Japan. It is a small country with a strong foundation, and within the economic framework of the United States, it is mainly an export-oriented economy, so it can naturally prosper in a short period of time.But our country is different.

Before World War II, our country was a completely poor agricultural country with a weak industrial foundation and nothing we needed.

Under such circumstances, it is still the most populous country in the world. The first thing to solve is the problem of food and clothing. It is still a big military and political country. It has not been included in the Western economic circle by the United States, and its economic development will naturally not be able to develop.

When Western countries allowed my country to join the WTO, it quickly began to take off thanks to its labor cost advantages, resource advantages, infrastructure advantages, and administrative advantages.

This is the take-off of an economy with over one billion people. Competition involves all aspects. Can this be compared with that of a small country?
Let’s not mention anything else, let’s just talk about basic scientific research. After our country reformed, we were actually busy making up lessons, while Japan had already completed those.

In other words, Japan's economic boom in the 70s and [-]s was due to its rich heritage and the economic support of the United States.

When our country's economy took off, in terms of scientific background, it was not as good as Japan's in the 80s.

Until 2010, my country's overall scientific and technological level was basically the same as Japan's in the 80s, and by 2020, at least in terms of overall basic scientific research, it will basically catch up with Japan.

From this perspective, our country's progress is definitely not slow. After all, we have more difficulties.

To put it bluntly, in the 80s, no one in the world considered our country a threat.

Without him, our country was too poor at that time and its technological level was too poor.

Although our country was already the most populous country during this period, in the industrial era, population was not the decisive factor in becoming a big country, but only an important factor.

In other words, having a sufficient industrial population and urban population is the cornerstone of the rise of a great country.

This is also the reason why in 2023 in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, the population of Bharat State had clearly exceeded that of our country, but the overall national power level was further and further increased by our country.

This is because although Bharat has a large population, most of it is non-industrial and non-urban. Such a population structure can only be a burden, not a help.

The essence of why our country is engaging in family planning now is to reduce the population burden.

So in this period, there is nothing wrong with family planning.

It was only later that my country's industrial population and urban population increased, and the fertility rate naturally declined, that we began to talk about a population crisis.

In fact, in essence, when a country becomes wealthy to a certain extent and industrializes and urbanizes to a certain extent, its fertility rate will inevitably decline unless it opens up immigration.

No country in the world is spared from this.

In other words, if you want to increase the fertility rate, it is useless to expect to increase welfare benefits. The higher the welfare benefits, the less likely people will have children.

Even in Northern Europe, which has excellent welfare benefits, although the fertility rate has subsequently increased, it is not because of improved welfare, but because of immigration.

For example, in Sweden, the subsequent fertility rate was basically provided by those refugees.

However, because it accepted too many foreign refugees, Sweden later surpassed Bharat and became the country with the highest QJ rate.

In fact, the logic here is very simple and can be explained in one point.

When you are poor, you are raised in poverty anyway, so you naturally have children at will, and the more children you have, the more opportunities you have to get back your money, which is equivalent to treating having children as a low-cost, high-return investment.

In this case, of course, there is no hope of providing a good living environment and educational environment for the children. It is simply a matter of letting the children survive and grow up, and then go out to work early to make money to support the family.

But if you have some money and can provide a better environment for your children, you will naturally want to raise your children richly and train them well, but this requires money, a lot of money.

When you find that you spend too much money to raise one child, you will empty your wallet. Naturally, you don’t want to have more children because you can’t afford the second one.

This is actually similar to being a dog owner.

Dogs raised in rural areas are free-range and poor. They can just leave them in the yard and feed the dogs some leftovers. Then they don’t think about vaccinating the dogs, communicating with them, etc. Once they get sick, they can be treated directly. Give up and never think about spending a lot of money on medical treatment.

But if you are a petty bourgeoisie in the city who raises a dog, then of course everything will be provided for you.

Super expensive dog food, super expensive steaks, super expensive vitamins and protein supplements, various hair care shower gels, super luxurious dog houses for dogs to live in, clothes for dogs Dog clothes, blah blah blah.

If the dog is sick, it is even more serious. The treatment costs a few thousand, but it is ordinary.

After all, it costs a lot for city dwellers to raise a dog.

Under such spending conditions, how can city people have the time and energy to raise a second dog?

On the contrary, in rural areas, because of the low cost of free-range breeding, it is possible to raise three or four, or even five or six.

Although it is indeed a little weird to compare people to dogs, the principle is the same.

For example, in Japan now, the economy is booming and most people have money, but the fertility rate has dropped off a cliff.

Japan has never practiced any family planning, and even now it has been encouraging children to have children. As a result, the fertility rate is ridiculously low.

Otherwise, people say that the economy is the best contraceptive pill.

However, this is actually a problem at a certain stage.

Once this stage is passed, for example, through the petty bourgeoisie stage and directly into the moderately prosperous stage, a family can easily raise two or three children, such as in the United States in the 60s and [-]s, and the fertility rate will naturally increase.

So the key to the problem is whether we can overcome this difficulty despite low fertility rates.

If you break through, everything will be easy. If you fail to break through, you will enter the so-called middle-income trap.

From this perspective, the faster our country's economy develops and its strength grows, the easier it will be to break through this middle-income trap earlier.

If our country could achieve the economic level after 90 in the 2000s, its stamina would be no joke.

To achieve this, in the current environment, I am afraid the only way is to cheat.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang himself is a loser. As long as his system can perform stably, he can remain unexposed and use the world's most advanced technology and equipment to support the motherland, increase the speed of domestic economic development by one stage, and maintain it at two levels for a long time. As the number of digits increases, there should be no problem.

"We've arrived." Sachiko Fujita reminded Cao Zhiqiang, who was distracted again, "Everyone is greeting you. It's time to get off the car."

"Oh, I understand." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then the subsequent negotiations and review will be left to you, Lawyer Fujita."

"Don't worry." Sachiko Fujita said, "Even if it's not for my dignity as a lawyer, even if it's just for Sayuri, and of course my own future earnings, I will do my best to help you. After all..."

Having said this, Sachiko Fujita paused, then smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "You yourself are a stock with unlimited potential!"
