Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 558 Kang Caien

   Masayoshi Kishimoto, Rie Sakai, Takayuki Minano, and TV TOKYO news anchorwoman Kana Oshima, who were blowing air-conditioning in the cabin, were tasting red wine together.

  Kana Oshima first greeted very politely: "It is my honor to meet the president and wife of Kishimoto of our Hard Gold Group today."

   "Since you are part of the hard gold group, you are your own. Besides, you are Takayuki's girlfriend. Don't be so polite when you speak. Feel free." Kishimoto Masayoshi bluntly said.

  Oshima Kana wouldn't be really casual just because he said that. The other party said so, it was polite. If you really do that, you just don't understand the rules.

   "Recently, housing prices in Tokyo have risen a lot. The apartment you rented in Minato has also risen!" Minamino Takayuki turned to look at his girlfriend and said casually.

   "Isn't it? The rent went up by 10% directly. This is much faster than my salary increase." After Kana Oshima blurted out in response to his boyfriend's words, he immediately realized that he seemed to have made a blunder.

  So, she put her right palm in front of her mouth, and took the initiative to bow towards Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai, "Don't laugh at the president and madam."

   "The way capital makes money, that is, the way money makes money, is always faster than labor makes money. It is a normal economic law that the Tokyo real estate market rises faster than wages.

  Although the 9.11 terrorist attack occurred on the US side, the entire Japanese economy has begun to show some signs of recovery.

   As soon as Japan's domestic economy improves a little, people will have money in their pockets, so there will inevitably be more consumption, thereby stimulating the growth of domestic demand.

  The landlord sees that you have more money in your pocket, so they will want to increase their income by increasing the rent. The people who are really suffering are the people at the bottom.

   They did not share the benefits brought about by the economic recovery, but suffered from rising rents and rising prices, which were not conducive to the improvement and improvement of their quality of life.

   The general consensus is that being poor in a rich country is more comfortable than being poor in a poor country. In fact, it is more difficult to be a poor person in a rich country than to be a poor person in a poor country.

  In poor countries, everyone feels the same. Except for a very small number of people in the privileged class, it seems that the rich cannot get rich there. At the very least, the heart is balanced.

   Survival in a rich country is not like this at all. The drunkards and feasting in Tokyo have nothing to do with the poor, they are completely abandoned.

   Every time these people see all this in real life, and then compare their current real life, there will never be any turbulence in their hearts. People in the upper middle class cannot understand why poor people would rather go hungry than buy TVs and VCRs.

   That's because having those things will make their daily life a little bit easier. They are briefly immersed in the beautiful life fictionalized by film and television dramas, and they will not feel particularly bored mentally. "Kishimoto said calmly.

   Not only Kana Oshima, but even Kazuya Takahashi and Rie Sakai couldn't help but feel that these words came out of his mouth to be particularly funny and hypocritical.

  In this case, they are still sitting on a fake $100 million private cruise ship. The owner of this Luna is Masayoshi Kishimoto.

   Even if Masayoshi Kishimoto is telling the truth, it is not uncommon for him to not engage in exploitation, earn profits and participate in "dividing the cake". After all, hard gold construction is specialized in real estate business.

   "President Kishimoto, some people say that after World War II, Japan has no chaebols or that the chaebols have been torn apart by the Americans.

   Personally, do you agree with this statement? "Oshima Kana didn't want to miss a chance to have a face-to-face conversation with a real chaebol.

"I don't agree. Tomatoes are called tomatoes, aren't they different? They're not the same thing. The chaebols, big and small, that existed in Japan before World War II were forced to lose the war and were limited by the various policies formulated by the United States. This clause was only given a facelift and took the form of the Conzern Group.

  Konzern is the transliteration of German Konzern, which originally means a variety of enterprise groups. This is a large and complex form of capitalist monopoly.

It is centered on the most powerful monopoly or bank, and is composed of many enterprises in different economic sectors, including ten or even hundreds of mining, industry, trade, banking, insurance, transportation and other enterprises. It is the realization of financial oligarchy. The highest organizational form of its economic domination.

Financial oligarchs use the participatory system to control the amount of stock control through big banks or large industrial enterprises, so that other participants are subordinate to them, so that they can control capital several times or even dozens of times larger than their own capital, and occupy a more powerful economic position. position and grab high monopoly profits.

   It clearly shows the characteristics of the integration of banking monopoly capital and industrial monopoly capital during the imperialist period. It was created later than cartels, syndicates and trusts.

Each member enterprise in Conzern still maintains legal independence without losing its legal personality. As a holding company, a large enterprise or a large bank in the core position will participate in the board of directors and control the finance of each member enterprise by buying stocks. Other member companies of Conzern are placed under its control.

  The chaebol takes the head office controlled by family capital as the core, and controls the direct and collateral enterprises of various economic sectors through the shareholding relationship of the family head office - the direct company - the quasi-direct company, forming a huge Concaine.

   The chaebol left-hand controls the most important capital in capitalism, while the right-hand controls the means of production. They are very powerful and usually operate government-licensed industries.

   In the hands of a family, the business projects cover almost the entire industry and commerce, and even the media, politics, and social resources are in their hands.

   Capitalist society looks better than slave society and feudal society on the surface, but in fact, it is also old wine in new bottles. To put it bluntly, it is not similar to the ancient Japanese daimyo who managed their respective sites.

   It’s just that the form of the administrative area, the site (stone), has been weakened and replaced by some new words in the fields of industry, politics, commerce, and finance.

  My ship was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of the Iwasaki family. In addition, almost half of Japan's submarines, one-third of destroyers, F-2 and F-15J fighter jets, and Type 90 tanks are built by it.

   Of course, there is also a saying that the financial capital group in Japan after World War II is generally no longer called a chaebol, but is called a consortium like other capitalist countries. "Kishimoto Masayoshi said solemnly.
