The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property - Chapter 593
c569 Dream bubble
“If I were not sitting in this position and knew these inside stories, it would be difficult for me to like him.” Hashimoto Shota replied sincerely.
The upper class interests enjoy everything, divide the cake, and the class is solidified. Can the people below be happy?
“Then don’t let them know.” Kitahara Sosuke looked at the slowly leaving election car with clear eyes and a low and magnetic voice. “Give them a relatively good life, an illusion that they can go up, and use soft means to control it.” Their lives use games, entertainment, music, food and other things to build a dream that no one wants to wake up from.”
“How can we enslave them into cattle and horses? It’s very simple. Why people are uncontrolled? It’s because after they have money, status, power, and pursuits, the desires in their bodies will increase. Such people cannot become A puppet, difficult to control.”
Kithara Sosuke paused and continued,
“Then we will give them a fixed and scarce salary, so that they can look forward to it without being able to get more. Every carrot is a pit, and there is no room for advancement. They have been taught from childhood that apart from studying to become talented and working, there is nothing too great. The opportunity to make a big turnaround, those so-called hobbies, interests, and pursuits were just dreams in student days. After entering society and being severely beaten, everything became clear.”
“People will become numb and will be satisfied as long as they have a little happiness. If they cannot control a large amount of liquidity, then they will set high housing prices. If mortgage and car loans cannot suppress them, then they will increase the cost of marriage, raising children and the elderly. The cost of medical treatment makes him keep running for various things throughout his life, unable to stop and look at his life.”
“If you still have spare money, just set up a stock market to give them the dream of getting rich that is almost impossible to realize, and empty out their last savings. When they look back at the last moment, they will find that they have never really realized anything in their life. Live free.”
“But this kind of life is still happy, because as long as you don’t know it’s a dream, isn’t it okay?”
Kitahara Sosuke’s cold voice was like tiny glass beads falling to the ground on the bustling streets of Tokyo’s Minato District, causing no reverberation at all.
Every word was like a knife cutting into Shota Hashimoto’s body.
He has never experienced such a life, but he has seen it, understood it, and witnessed it, so he has a great sense of belonging.
In this kind of life, a person only has one life. When you look back and find out that it was a set conspiracy, you suddenly realize that you only have an empty body and no soul. How desperate would it be?
“Then what can we do?” Hashimoto Shota could only sigh. He was glad that he was Hashimoto Ryutaro’s son. He no longer had to think about many things and would never experience them.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
If this country becomes like this.
“Compared to the people next door, even ordinary people are aware that class is completely solidified, and we are relatively good.” Kitahara Sosuke added, “There is still room and channels for advancement, but sooner or later, these positions will be occupied and replaced by Various forces and families dominate. Just like consortiums that monopolize various industries, they are growing abnormally and no one can shake their dominance.”
“Indeed, there are similar problems in the government. My father was in the Financial Services Agency before. Even though the prosecutors of the Financial Services Agency would strictly separate their place of birth and residence to conduct law enforcement in different places, the prosecutors were originally a small circle. Who doesn’t have some connections?”
Hashimoto Shota understands deeply,
“If power is monopolized by some people and becomes a toy, the world will collapse. I’m glad that I met you and that people like you still exist in our country, Sosuke.”
“I?”
“That’s right! Look, even if Uncle Kitahara does have some strength, compared with your current achievements, it’s not worth mentioning, right? With the resources of the Kitahara family, thank God that you can become a branch president. , it is simply impossible to enter the upper echelons of Dongsan.”
“And now, Sosuke, you are the youngest person at the helm of a financial group, the youngest entrepreneur, banker, and investor in Japan. You have gathered countless honors in your life. Some even say that you can be ranked in the top ten in Japanese financial history. !”
This statement is a bit exaggerated. Some people question it, but there are also countless people who agree with it.
This is the current influence of Sosuke Kithara in Japan and even around the world.
He was so strong that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and others were proud to have dinner and chat with him.
“You have proved with your strength that as long as people are strong enough, they still have a chance.”
“On the contrary, I feel that the fact that I can stand at this height is the greatest irony of this world.”
Kitahara Sosuke suddenly planned what he said and didn’t let him say it.
Perhaps in Shota Hashimoto’s eyes, his life as Sosuke Kitahara is nothing more than an extremely passionate TV series.
Unfortunately, only Kithara Sosuke himself knows that he can stand at such a height thanks to him being a time traveler.
He even felt that if he had not been a self-made billionaire in his previous life, even a time traveler would have found it difficult to establish a real consortium in Japan.
With the help of the Kitahara family, an ordinary time traveler would probably only be able to climb to the top of Dongsan, or become an ordinary billionaire.
January 4, 1992.
Tokyo Development Bank announced a large-scale healthy merger with Tokyo External Banking Corporation, and the merged bank was officially renamed Tokyo Daiichi Bank.
Since then, the Tokyo Industrial Bank, a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi Consortium that once dominated the banking industry for a hundred years, has completely disappeared into the dust of history.
Just like its name, the newly born Tokyo Daiichi Bank surpassed other super urban banks such as Sumitomo Bank in terms of overall volume and became the largest bank in Japan.
At the same time, Kitahara Bank (formerly Kitahara Shenlang Credit Bank), which released last year’s financial statements, also quickly climbed up the rankings, becoming Japan’s 16th largest urban bank in terms of overall volume and entering the top 100 banks in the world.
On the same day, Takashi Shirakawa, the former president of the Tokyo Industrial Bank, resigned from his position as president on the grounds that he was old and physically could not withstand the high-intensity work.
After a lengthy discussion, the Board of Directors of Tokyo Daiichi Bank decided to elect Kenji Owada, the former head of the Tokyo Industrial Bank Head Office, as the new president. Ken Genai and Keiichi Hiraiwa, who had previously retired, watched the TV with extremely bitter feelings.
They have been fighting all their lives and never wanted to be picked off by others.
The general manager was selected, and people with inside information immediately realized that in the battle between Shirakawa Takashi and Kitahara Sosuke, Shirakawa Takashi had won first!
No one expected that Kitahara Sosuke would lose this game.
