Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1411 Desperate East (rd update, please subscribe)
In the early morning, the sunlight shines into the bedroom through the glass window. The yellow light cuts through the darkness in the room, and dust floats in the light and shadow.

"..."

After waking up, Takuichi Yamaguchi did not get up immediately. He sat there and watched for a while. After a long time, he got up silently amid the noisy noise around him.

When he walked out of the house to brush his teeth, he saw several ragged children running back and forth. One of them was wearing a T-shirt with "Yongding No. 6 Middle School" printed on it. Of course, that child was not a student of Yongding No. 6 Middle School. After all, it was an overseas school.

In Japan, there are many second-hand clothes like this. For many people, they can only afford such second-hand clothes. As we all know, these clothes are not worn by people in the south. Some are donated to local charities, and those clothes are sent to Japan and donated to poor people.

The war has been over for eighteen years.

But Japan has not yet emerged from the shadow of war - poverty still shrouds this land, and here, poverty is still everywhere.

Unemployment and poverty still loom over the land.

Looking at the houses built with iron sheets and paper around me, there are still many such slums in Tokyo.

Looking at the children running in the sewage-filled alleys and the people in tattered clothes around them, Yamaguchi Takuichi couldn't help but curse:

"Baga, it's all because of those damn Japanese warlords!"

It’s all those warlords!

If they had not started the war, Japan would not be in its current state.

How could the city be razed to the ground? The country was occupied by the British and American devils, and even the people were just living like zombies, struggling on the brink of starvation.

"Hey, it's much better now!"

After hearing this, Takuda said:
"When the war just ended, everyone was hungry. Now at least we don't have to starve anymore! If we can get a job in a factory run by people from the south, we can even have two meals of white rice!"

The southern factories mentioned by Zhaitian are small factories such as textile factories and garment factories that have moved here from Southeast Asia in recent years. Although those factories have strict management and implement militarized management, they do provide three meals a day, and many factories also provide accommodation.

For many Japanese, being able to work in such a "foreign company" is definitely a very happy thing.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yamaguchi Takuichi started cursing:

"Damn! In those southern factories, the workers work like slaves, working sixteen hours a day. Really, don't you know that?"

“But you can make money!”

Takuta grinned and said:

"So what if I work sixteen hours? At least I have a job and can earn money to support my family! I can earn about five or six thousand yen a month! Even college students can't earn that much."

How much is 5,000 or 6,000 yen?

One US dollar is exchanged for 360 Japanese yen, and the salary of workers in "foreign companies" is about 0.5 US dollars a day, which includes overtime pay and piecework wages.

Although it sounds very cheap, it is definitely a high salary in Japan. After all, you can earn tens of thousands of yen a year!

This is definitely a high salary in Japan. Because of this, countless people are eager to join foreign companies, even if those companies exploit them like consumables.

But so what?

If they were in a Japanese factory, their working hours would not necessarily be shorter than there, and their income would be less than half of that in foreign companies.

After being choked by Takuya, Yamaguchi Takuichi pouted and said:

“What an uncivilized person!”

After hearing the familiar words from Yamaguchi Takuichi's mouth, Takuya directly said:
"Haha, what about non-citizens? The Japanese Empire is gone, so how can there be any non-citizens..."

In fact, Yamaguchi Takuichi had no good feelings towards the old Japan, but he had even less good feelings towards foreigners. In his opinion, if it were not for foreigners, Japan might have gotten rid of poverty long ago.

In fact, this is not just the view of Yamaguchi Takuichi, but also the view of many Japanese. In the eyes of some extreme Japanese, their poverty is entirely caused by foreigners.

Even Yamaguchi Takuichi couldn't help but spit at the University of Tokyo when he passed by there, saying:

"A school that specializes in training traitors!"

The reason he said this is because the University of Tokyo has been at the top of the immigration list for many years - 70% of its graduates go abroad every year, and most of them stay overseas.

There are always students from the University of Tokyo in the long queues outside the commercial representative office.

"Japan is sick now!" On the campus of Tokyo University, a person shouted loudly:

"When the Japanese talk about who is successful now, they will say - you see, Ichiro went overseas, Mihui married overseas. The measure of a person's success is not what he did in Japan, but whether he has the ability and the ability to go overseas. Yes, overseas they can live in a foreign-style building, drive a car, and live a good life. Yes, if all scientists and all college students are proud to go overseas, then who will build Japan and who will develop Japan?"

The person standing on the stage was none other than Yukio Mishima, whose works have been well received in Japan, the United States and other places in recent years.

When he was giving his speech, there were only a few students standing around him, and not many people were interested in his speech, but this did not prevent him from giving his speech there.

“Since the end of the war, overseas companies have not only taken advantage of the end of the war to plunder our factories and wealth, but also took advantage of Japan’s poverty and the hardship of the people to recruit a large number of scientists, engineers, technicians, and even skilled workers.

The so-called "Equatorial Miracle" was actually built on Japanese machines and manpower. Originally, the miracle there belonged to Japan. While the wealth and manpower accumulated by Japan since the Akechi era were almost plundered, the "Equatorial Miracle" surprised the whole world and was even envied by us Japanese!

I don’t know how many Japanese are crazy about the “Equatorial Miracle”, and I don’t know how many Japanese are willing to go overseas at all costs because of the so-called good life there.

However, how many Japanese know that the so-called "Equatorial Miracle" was built on Japanese machines and manpower?

The Japanese abandoned their own country and worked for them. It was the blood and sweat of the Japanese that created the so-called "Equatorial Miracle"! "

In this way, Yukio Mishima was shouting loudly there, and his voice echoed throughout the campus.

"...Today, Japan's poverty is entirely due to overseas plunder of its wealth and manpower, but the Japanese are unaware of this, especially today's Japanese youth, who are all proud to go abroad. This is the crime of recognizing the thief as their father..."
Just like that, while Yukio Mishima was venting his emotions, there were only a few people standing in the audience, and no one was interested in these words.

"Reality……"

While Yukio Mishima was giving an emotional speech, two men on the playground not far away looked at them and said:

"The current economic hardship has caused Japanese people to rush overseas. For them, it is their only chance to change their fate. In this university..."

Imura pointed around and said:

"Every year, 70% of the graduates from this university go overseas. Why do they go overseas? Because the money they earn in one day there is equivalent to what they earn in half a month in Japan. Overseas companies use money as bait to make tens of thousands of Japanese rush to go overseas.

What has become of Japan when its best talents are winning Nobel Prizes overseas and starting their so-called happy lives overseas? "

Imura looked around and said:
"That's what it's like! Poverty and hopelessness. Abe, do you know how many companies you have in Japan right now?"

"How many?"

"27800 family!"

After saying this number, Imura said:

"Although only 30% of these companies are foreign-funded, their output value accounts for 80% of the total output value. In the past, Japan's chaebols controlled Japan's economy, but now? It's foreigners who control Japan's economy!"

Taking a deep breath with some helplessness, Jingcun pursed his lips and said:

"The war started by the imperialists caused Japan to lose everything. Everything now belongs to the foreign imperialists. This is Japan today..."

Abe fell into deep thought after hearing his friend's words. He looked at Mishima Yuki in the distance, thought for a while and said:
"So, that's why he shouted so loudly in order to wake up the Japanese, right?"

"Wake up? How to wake up?"

Imura shook his head and said:

"Today's young Japanese are used to going overseas, and they are used to seeing working overseas as a symbol of success in life. This is not only true for young Japanese, but also for the entire country. In this atmosphere, the best talents in Japan have gone overseas... There is no hope for a Japan like this, hope..."

Looking at Yukio Yamashima in the distance, Jingcun thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe what he wants to awaken now is the hope of the Japanese. But how can it be awakened just by this?"

"That is to say, he is the one we chose."

Abe looked at the young man in the distance and said:
"Is he suitable? He is a militarist, after all."

"As long as you give him a suitable reason, I think there is no better candidate than him."

Imura said:

"And this is exactly the kind of person we need. He wants to awaken the patriotism of the Japanese. Now all we need is to give him a reason!"

As he spoke, he walked over there...
