Chapter 794: The Path of the Elites
At noon time, Masayoshi Kishimoto appeared at Makoto Natsui’s place. As soon as he walked in, she jumped out with as much joy as a deer in Nara.
Natsui Makoto beamed with joy as she said, “Both Makoto and Mika successfully passed the Little Drops Kindergarten entrance exam.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto responded with an “Oh” and was done. He habitually went to wash his hands first, and then he sat down at the dining table to get ready for dinner.
“Don’t you have anything else to say other than oh?” Natsui Makoto stood in front of him and said unhappily.
“Do, do you have to have me say to you that our sons and daughters are just wonderful and amazing? You’ve worked hard as a mom. I’m going to properly reward you, as well as the two children.
Since you arranged for Real and Mei Xiang to climb the path of the elites, then this is just the beginning, and it’s also the easiest step.
Step by step, they’ll move up to elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Even if they both got into the University of Tokyo, it didn’t mean that the two children were completely successful.
After graduation, it was time for work. To stand out in the real world of work is not as simple as 1+1=2, and it’s not as easy as giving as much as you can get.
In the workplace, especially when it comes to problems, there is often no standard answer. This requires individuals to give full play to their initiative.
Of course, their siblings’ generation can also be able to live better than the vast majority of people without having to do anything.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.
Natsui Makoto pulled out a chair next to the dining table, sat down slowly and said, “What’s wrong with you today? I feel like you don’t look very good. Is it because you’re under too much pressure at work, or are you tired from work?”
“I don’t have any problems. What I just said to you is not very nice and not easily accepted by you, but it’s all from the bottom of my heart.
As Mei Xiang and Real’s real father, I have always hoped that they would be better than blue. However, a lot of things happen when people grow up.
Perhaps, because of a certain thing one is able to completely and utterly change one’s thoughts and future course of action.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.
“After lunch, you might as well go upstairs and take a nap!” Natsui Makoto said after carefully observing him with her own two eyes, it was only then that she noticed some of the tiredness he was showing.
Kishimoto Masayoshi knew that she was being considerate of herself, and did not make a single retort. Taking a nap in the middle of the day would greatly help the efficiency of his work in the afternoon. He picked up his chopsticks in his right hand and started eating.
“Japan’s aging, and oligomerization is getting more and more serious, resulting in a lot of places where there are fewer and fewer people. Experts say that if Japan continues like this, there will be problems in the cities.” Natsui Makoto told him about the news report she saw this morning.
“Tokyo, have you ever seen a problem? It’s out. The problem is that more and more people are coming here. Why do they come to Tokyo instead of going to Sapporo in Hokkaido?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he ate.
“Because Tokyo is a big international city. Not only are jobs better to find here, but the hourly wage is higher. When I first came to Tokyo from Wakayama Prefecture, I thought that even if I didn’t make much money, I would still be able to see the world, so it’s not a loss.
If I stayed in a small place like Wakayama Prefecture for the rest of my life, it would be too boring to see the world at a glance. Secondly, I just want to work part-time and save some more money, so that I can go back to my hometown in the future and open a small store or something.” Natsui Makoto blurted out.
“What you said is one aspect. Another aspect is that human beings belong to the most realistic economic animal, living requires money, and needs to pay for all sorts of expenses for everything from eating, drinking, and sleeping.
On top of that, there is the expense of paying for one’s parents’ old age, raising one’s offspring, and one’s own retirement. Where the economy is good, where there are more employment opportunities, people will run towards there, even with children and their families.
The decline of a city is not due to a decline in population, it is due to a collapsed economy, fewer jobs, and more and more locals running out of town.
If you can’t find any decent jobs locally, you might as well try your luck inside a big city with a good economy, and you might be able to find a position there that suits you.
As you just said, especially young people, even if you can’t make a name for yourself in the big city, at least you’ve seen the world and broadened your horizons, so it’s not worth it to come out from your hometown.
Once the implementation of a large investment in a small city, then it means that there will be more jobs and opportunities. Not only can the local people rush, but even foreigners will come to hear.
As a result, small cities naturally prosper. Today’s Tokyo didn’t become this prosperous in a day or two.
At one time in history, it was far less prosperous than Kyoto. Now Kyoto’s decline, and how not in the history of prosperity?
Whether a city is prosperous or not mainly depends on whether the rich and powerful of a country gather together to live for a long time? After all, these people held a large amount of resources and means of production in their hands.
They not only control and decide the direction and future destiny of a country, but also control the direction and future destiny of countless people.
Ordinary citizens can only run after the resources and means of production in their hands. Otherwise, it’s very likely that they won’t have food to eat, making it difficult for them to survive in this world.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.
“Today’s three major metropolitan areas in Japan are the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Osaka metropolitan area, and the Nagoya metropolitan area.
Beyond that, no decent metropolitan area exists. The economies of the other cities are not very good.” Natsui Makoto said plausibly.
“So, Japan’s core interests lie above the island of Honshu, after all, it’s where the three major metropolitan areas converge, and it’s also the most densely populated.
Shikoku Island, Kyushu Island, Hokkaido gradually no longer Japan’s economic takeoff when the vibrant breath, is that the first investment above the reduction, not before the population reduction.
If a young couple’s income is not as high as it used to be, do you think they will still want to have children without any consideration?
Japan had two clumps after WWII, and the premise and background of the birth spurt was that the economy was good and people had high incomes.
Now that Japan’s economy is much worse than it used to be, why are more and more people among ordinary young people not falling in love and not getting married? Even if they do get married, they don’t have children.
The reason for this is that there is less money in their pockets. Just to cope with their personal life, they have to do their best. In addition, jobs are not as stable as they were in previous generations.
The lifetime employment system, which was introduced when Japan’s economy was booming, is still practiced in large companies, but it has long since disappeared in small and medium-sized companies.
If the majority of the general public can have stable jobs and good incomes, there will be another boom in births.” Masayoshi Kishimoto explained.
