Chapter 780.

Masayoshi Kishimoto finished off the whiskey in the whiskey glass in his right hand, but still didn’t feel like he was enjoying himself, so he took the initiative to stand up and pour another half glass.

Holding the glass of whiskey in his right hand, he turned his back and walked back along the same route without hurrying to be seated again.

“Drink less, it’s not good for your health.” Rie Sakai kindly warned.

“You also drink less alcohol, it’s not good for your health either.” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled at her and said.

“Are you still not appreciating my kindness?” Rie Sakai said with feigned anger.

“I appreciate it.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he raised the glass of whiskey he was holding in his right hand at her.

Rie Sakai threw him a glare out of habit. She began to shake the glass again, her body relaxing as she leaned back against the surface of the lounge couch, “You’re one of the emperors of the Japanese economy now. Tell me properly, what exactly is it like for you?”

“A great deal of pressure.” Masayoshi Kishimoto replied succinctly.

“No?” Sakai Rie really didn’t expect him to answer so crisply.

Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly, “If it’s not gone, what else is there. Don’t think that just because you’re sitting in my position that you’re comfortable and cozy. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

The Hard Gold Group employs more than 50,000 people worldwide, which means there can be more than 50,000 families. One family counts as a family of four, and that’s 200,000 people.

On top of that, there are even more companies, large and small, that have business dealings and relationships with the Hard Gold Group. Indirectly, that’s over a million people.

If you add the entire pachinko industry behind me, not to mention ten million people, there are still eight million people who can be involved with our Hard Gold Group.”

Here he paused for a moment, took a sip of the whiskey in his right hand whiskey glass, and then continued, “The great achievements I have made in the economy have indeed brought me, as well as our family, excellent material living conditions.

It has also given me the power and ability to influence Japanese politics and society. Economy, politics, and society are a trinity, interacting and influencing each other.

The beauty of capitalism lies in its ability to maximize human potential and motivation, forcing people to move forward. It is just like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

However, this kind of high-pressure social survival mode is not applicable to everyone. Most ordinary people are naturally unable to adapt to this mode of existence.

Especially when a country like Japan, which has a large population and poor resources, goes to the advanced stage of capitalist society, it brings enormous mental and survival pressure.”

“Not only Japan, but even in the United States, Germany, France, and England, there is still no less than 10% of the poor class. The poorer they are, the busier they are, and the busier they are, the poorer they are.

Working hard, resting less and working more to get out of poverty and become rich is a lie made up by you capitalists to deceive people.” Rie Sakai said bluntly.

“Although I am a capitalist, I am even more of an investor. How does that make it a deceitful lie? The situation of too many monks and not enough gruel is a difficult problem that any country in this world is facing.

When money comes into the hands of different people, then different uses will happen. The vast majority of people, especially young people generally can’t save much money, will appear when they just get a paycheck, feel particularly rich.

In a few days, or even less than a day, the money will be spent cleanly. Why? Is the lack of necessary waiting and patience, have too much desire, too much want things.

A very small number of people are not today’s wine today drunk, but will tighten their belts, to save the money invested in the personal opinion of the relatively secure field to money to make money.

A long time, the gap between the rich and the poor will naturally appear. Poor people see the rich today buy this, tomorrow buy that, seems to have endless money.

As for themselves, they have been plagued by money, and think that it’s all God’s fault and that wealth is unfairly distributed.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

“That’s really a grandiose statement on your part. If it weren’t for your exploitation and oppression, how would it have come to this?” Rie Sakai blurted out.

“If you don’t start a company or run a business to make money, is it possible that you are still doing it for charity? It is precisely because there is surplus value that can be extracted from other people’s bodies that causes capitalists to be extremely interested and motivated.

If there is no surplus value to be extracted from others, it means that they are not even qualified to be exploited and oppressed.

When that day comes, more simple and repetitive jobs for ordinary people will be replaced by robots, and the unemployment rate will rise.

Social problems will rise to new heights, which will in turn have a negative impact on politics. This is where the end of capitalist society lies.” Masayoshi Kishimoto shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Isn’t there a solution?” Rie Sakai asked thoughtfully.

“Communist society.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

“Then there is no solution.” Rie Sakai certainly understood that under the current conditions of productivity, it was simply impossible to realize this one model of society.

As for the future, she had no idea what kind of social model it would become. Anyway, the thing one dared to be sure of was that she would not live to see such a day come.

“Even if communism could be realized that day, it might not necessarily be a good thing for humanity. According to Marx’s theory, it would then be distribution according to need. I’m afraid this is not in line with human nature, right?

There is inertia in human beings. If we do not have to do it, if we do it well or do it badly, and if we can have food and drink, and if we can satisfy all our survival needs, how many more people will take the initiative and be willing to do it properly?

Without greed, there is no competition between people, and it is easy to lose motivation, so what should be used as motivation to push human society forward?” Justice Kishimoto said without haste.

“Don’t you have communist beliefs? Why are you starting to have doubts as well?” Sakai Rie pursed her lips and said.

“It is precisely because I believe in communism that I am skeptical of something about it. If it wasn’t my belief, why would I doubt it? Without skepticism, there is no progress.

If all the theoretical things said in the books are copied and practiced, it is dogmatism. In practice, it will not work and should not be.

Just like playing the game, and not completely read the strategy will not have problems, can smoothly play through the level.

In practice, there will still be this or that problem. This requires one to make timely and necessary corrections.” Justice Kishimoto explained.

“You always have so many reasons and sayings.” Rie Sakai took it in stride.

“This is indeed a direction of human development, and one that deserves to be practiced and explored seriously. This social theory of capitalism is based on the weak and the strong.

That’s why it has convinced the Japanese, a nation prone to extremes, that all human beings have to live in this world with value and meaning. Otherwise, there is no need to continue to live.

The fact that 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese commit suicide every year, thus becoming one of the world’s leading suicide countries also stems from this.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.
