Chapter 304 Rights

“The topic is serious.” Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly realized that he shouldn’t be talking to her about these things and said.

“Nope. I still want to hear you say it.” Natsui Makoto looked up at him for a moment and said rather seriously.

“Ordinary men in Japan are actually really tired and suffering. The things and pressures they are imposed by society are just too much.

This foreigners who don’t know the inside story will only think how chauvinistic Japanese men are. When they go home, they enjoy the life of being fed and clothed.

In fact, when Japanese men enjoy this right, it is corresponding to pay the hard work and responsibility. In the traditional Japanese family model, a man has to support his family.

Easier said than done. Since the bursting of the economic bubble in the 1990s, the Japanese economy has been growing slowly.

As a direct result of this, the income of the average working person has been greatly reduced. However, prices have not gone down. On the contrary, other necessities such as rent have been rising gradually.

Income is less, expenses are bigger, and life is getting tighter and tighter is the consensus of the average salaried family nowadays. Many ordinary Japanese wage earners come home tired as a dead dog after working overtime every day.

They tend to do only three things, one is to eat, the second is to take a bath, the third is to come out of the bath, and then drink a can of beer. For them, this is the most enjoyable moment of the day.

By the next morning, it was time to go to work and squeeze on the tram again, and it makes sense that the modular lifestyle week after week caused some people to have a mental breakdown, which ultimately led to suicide.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.

“That’s not because the capitalists are too greedy and only know how to exploit and oppress one way or another. I believe that as long as wages are raised appropriately, the suicide rate will also be reduced.” Natsui Makoto, after all, was deeply experienced in the past and said.

“This one perception of yours is overly idealistic and absolutely wrong. At a time when globalization is becoming increasingly competitive, once a local Japanese capitalist raises the wages of their ordinary employees, it will inevitably result in a corresponding rise in costs.

The result of the rise in the cost of goods is that they will become less competitive in the international market, which means that they will not sell well. Therefore, the capitalists will never give in easily to an increase in the wages of their ordinary employees.

They would rather choose to employ a large number of non-regular employees and raise their hourly wages accordingly, so that they can reduce the shortfalls brought about by the production cycle and hence lower their risks and costs.

Of course, young people nowadays are not clamoring for freedom, spare time and not to be slaves to their work, and they have complied with their demands.

They are clearly being cheated and their interests compromised, and they still talk about fighting for their right to freedom. The Fiats have also become the current trend among ordinary young people. Here’s the problem. People live to eat and drink, and everything requires money.

Their original monthly income dropped from 200,000 to 300,000 yen a month to about 100,000 yen, which made them struggle to squeeze their living expenses to the limit.

It’s laughable that they’re still shouting long live freedom when they’re obviously suffering so much that they can’t get married and raise a family and have children.” Justice Kishimoto spoke eloquently.

He paused here and then added, “For this reason, some government officials and politicians, in order to curry favor with these voters, and then to make them vote for themselves, formulated and introduced some policies about raising wages and reducing working hours.

In the end, these policies have become nothing more than empty talk and cannot be strictly enforced at all. This once really forced the capitalists, they can be completely production factories toward Southeast Asia, mainland China, South Asia and other countries with low labor costs relocation.

This is really a move away a lot of Japanese factories, will inevitably lead to employment difficulties, rather than labor shortage.

For capitalists, not to move the factory is waiting for death. If they move, then they can still have something to allow the company to grow further.

Otherwise, they will use a large number of foreign trainees in their factories. The idea that the tertiary sector is the future is complete bullshit.

The factories are the solution to a large number of laborers. Without this foundation, the tertiary industry is an empty shell. How are people going to spend money when they don’t have it in their hands?”

Natsui Makoto looked at him with her eyes wide open, only feeling that she was listening to a mountain of clouds. Naturally, she wouldn’t understand the economics of this and the way of doing business.

“Isn’t there a way to be able to live a slightly easier life?” Natsui Makoto asked, standing above her original position.

“There is! However, it’s just that it doesn’t belong to the underclass. As time goes on towards the back, they will live harder and harder.

The reasoning is really simple. They generally don’t have a skill, which causes them to only be able to sell simple labor for meager pay.

Middle-class families have a fighting chance. Many of them have long since realized that competition between people will become more and more intense in the future, so they invest more in their children’s education.

Hopefully, they will be able to get into a prestigious university, acquire a strong skill set that is in line with the trends of the times, and then be able to live in the future with ease.

Look at the United States, whether it is Apple, or Microsoft, are in line with the trend of the times. The employees working in their companies are the ones who are able to get high salaries and live in style.

As for the capitalists at the upper level, they will only increase their investment in highly sophisticated industries. Although the risk is big, but the profit is also big, completely smooth the development trend of the times, so as not to be eliminated. It’s only within the new era that they will have their own figure to exist.” Justice Kishimoto said without haste.

“No wonder, you always focus on investments that I don’t know much about, and have never even heard of.” Natsui Makoto said as if she had been enlightened.

“There is always a proportional relationship between risk and profit. A large profit with little or no risk is completely inconsistent with the laws of the market economy, and it is definitely a trick to cheat people.

Even so, there will always be a lot of people who fall for the scam, put a lifetime of hard work can not afford to use on their own money was cheated away by the scammer.

You want to figure high interest, while he is only to figure your principal. This becomes a scammer does not care if it is your hard-earned money, he only cares about your money.

You now have some money in hand, but also do not be stupid. If you really want to make an investment, give your personal money to me to do it for you.” Justice Kishimoto cautioned.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be that stupid. Investments? My investments are all inside my belly.” Natsui Makoto smiled as her right index finger was pointing to her bulging belly and said.
