Chapter 369 Care

The news of the Internet economy bubble bursting spread as fast as a virus. In the streets and alleys, once people gathered together, they could not talk for more than a few sentences before they started talking about it.

At the end of the afternoon, Masayoshi Kishimoto left directly. As a boss, he never set an example by following the Japanese overtime culture, but rather by leaving work at the end of the day.

Not only that, he also didn’t follow the Japanese tradition of working men not going home immediately after work, but would go inside an izakaya and get drunk before going home. There was no better place for a rich man to spend his time than the clubs of Ginza.

As soon as Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived home, before his butt had a chance to sit down, Rie Sakai looked nervous and said, “The NASDAQ index in the United States has plummeted.”

“Can we have something fresh to talk about? Today, both of my ears are getting callused.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was truly on the verge of being speechless.

“Aren’t you worried?” Sakai Rie stared at him in puzzlement and said.

“If you’re not in your position, you can’t do anything about it. The one who should really go worry about is the US government, it’s Wall Street. Besides, will I alone be able to stop the fall of the US Nasdaq and pull it up?” Masayoshi Kishimoto sat down, leaning his back on top of the sofa backrest and said.

“This should have a certain negative impact on your company’s related business!” Rie Sakai sat down on his side and said with concern.

“There is naturally a negative impact. However, that’s all just some losses on the books. As long as I don’t sell off the stocks of the relevant Internet companies, then they will always rise again in the future.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“What if they go bankrupt and liquidate?” Rie Sakai said worriedly instead.

“It won’t. Those internet companies I invested in are all very high quality. The difficulty is only temporary. It will always pass. After the storm, there will still be a rainbow.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.

Sakai Rie intentionally brought her torso closer to look at him. She took a good look at him from head to toe. She couldn’t believe that what she was seeing in front of her could be true.

The people outside were all acting as if they were enemies. Not to mention the relevant practitioners of the Internet company, even the people who were not even close to the Internet were also greatly nervous.

They were afraid that their companies would lay off employees, and they were afraid that the economy would once again fall into the predicament of the Asian financial turmoil. At that time, once they lose their jobs, they will not be able to find a job. However, the daily expenses would not become gone because of this.

“Tonight, what kind of dishes are we having?” Justice Kishimoto was more uptight about even caring about dinner than he was about the bursting of the Internet economic bubble, he said.

“Eat, eat, all you know is eat. Do you realize that many people are close to running out of food? I know from your calm and collected look that you will definitely make a big layoff of your company’s people so that you can balance the company’s financial profit and loss statement as fast as possible.

Do you know that this big layoff will push people into a desperate situation? Do you know that what you’re doing is very unethical?”

Rie Sakai thought of how she had listened to others lamenting about credit cards coming due, mortgages, car loans, and so on.

Once there was another recession in the market, it would be another year and a half that wouldn’t quite end. Bitter days again have to suffer day by day, day by day, suffering all kinds of physical and mental torment.

Masayoshi Kishimoto froze for a moment and almost didn’t come back to his senses. He suddenly had the illusion that she was his employee. Or rather, as if she was someone who needed to support her family.

“Does it matter to you whether my company, or any other company, lays off employees or not? It’s not like I said I would reduce your spending.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spread his hands and dropped his head, crying and laughing.

Sakai Rie suddenly realized that she had spoken a bit too much. She remained stiff-lipped and wouldn’t admit it voluntarily, “I’m making a heartfelt appeal to you, a zaibatsu, on behalf of the nationals who are at the bottom of the social ladder.”

“You’re trying to become a social activist? If you oppose me, you are opposing yourself. We are meant to serve food in the same pot.

Are you planning to be smashing your own family’s pot? Let’s see, how about this, let’s start by reducing your expenses?” Justice Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t do it, resolutely don’t do it.” Sakai Rie succinctly stated her attitude and position.

“You’re the most typical person who gets excited about revolutionizing other people’s lives. If you really want to revolutionize your own life, then it’s a double standard.

Reducing personal expenses will inevitably negatively affect the quality of life. This is something that even you understand, so everyone understands.” Justice Kishimoto rambled.

“You’re really going to do a major layoff of your own company’s people? I don’t think that you’re able to make a blanket cut. It’s better to be lenient with the breadwinners.” Rie Sakai asked him for a definite answer saying.

“I think Takayuki, the Personnel Director, should step aside and you become the Personnel Director of my company. Why don’t I just step aside and you become the president.

I never said from the beginning to the end that there would be a downsizing within the company. It’s been you alone who’s been talking nonsense endlessly.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

“I was concerned about you.” Rie Sakai said forcefully.

“Thank you for your concern, I really don’t need it.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said that above his mouth. However, being stirred up by her like this reminded him of his need to stabilize the people.

The news of the bursting of the Internet economic bubble was well known. It was not uncommon for employees to worry about layoffs, after all, it was a normalized operation.

He felt, really should let the chairman of the secretary office issued a written form to tell the hard gold group up and down personnel know, the company will not carry out a layoffs, is good to let them one by one to work at ease.

In addition, let the finance department put out the wind to go, the company’s cash flow is very solid, there is no situation of broken capital chain, so as to increase the staff’s confidence in the company.

“How can you this one not know how to be good? I don’t care, you say I’m indifferent. I care, and you say I’m nosy.” Rie Sakai said unhappily.

Masayoshi Kishimoto understood that her intentions were good. It was just that the manner and method were not quite right. This also explained why some men were unemployed and didn’t dare to tell the truth to the people in their families just for that matter.

So, they still get up early every day, go to the park and other places to fool around as if they were working on weekdays, and then go back at night.

As for eating, they didn’t dare to eat out either, just for fear that things would get worse later on. So, they go looking for those outlets that give out free food.

This would rather queue up to get free food than pay for it themselves. Otherwise, they would just eat more at home in the morning and evening.
