Japan.
The second largest economy today and the only developed country in Asia.
The total assets owned by 140 million people are comparable to the total assets of the four old developed countries in Europe, namely Britain, France, Germany and Italy, added together.
Komatsu Manufacturing defeated the global mining machinery giants Caterpillar, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda, and dumped its products all over the world, forcing American brands such as Ford and General Motors to reduce production and close factories, resulting in frequent incidents of various miscellaneous Japanese cars being sold.
Panasonic appliances are spread across the European and American markets, and its Toshiba computers, lithography machines, and semiconductors have forced IBM, Intel, Qualcomm, and Apple to lay off employees and close factories, and even prompted several members of Congress to jointly and publicly smash large numbers of Toshiba and Panasonic products to boycott Japanese goods.
After the Plaza Accord, even though the 80 percent appreciation of the yen had an impact on exports, the impact of the internationalization of the yen was even more infuriating.
When traveling in Europe, if you take out US dollars, you will often be despised, despised, and ridiculed. However, if you spend Japanese yen, you will be treated with humility, flattery, and warm hospitality.
The waiters will look disdainful and ignore customers who tip in US dollars, but when they meet customers who tip in Japanese yen, they will be like loyal servants and take good care of them.
When a store sells goods, if a customer offers US dollars, the money will be rejected, but if he offers Japanese yen, he will be greeted with a smile or even a wink.
Even European and American models and socialites have two different standards. They favor Japanese customers, are passionate and charming, and use the best quality service to make people feel ecstatic.
But when it comes to clients paying in US dollars, they are often like dead fish, unwilling to do anything, constantly urging you to hurry up and even muttering that you are a pauper.
The reason for this, in addition to the Japanese being generous and giving a lot of tips, the biggest reason is that the US dollar starts to depreciate as soon as it is in hand, and the Japanese yen can be exchanged for more money every day if you keep it under your pillow.
This kind of Japan makes everyone love and hate it.
If the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are rich, the country will be rich. The foundation of a country's prosperity is always education. Therefore, what ordinary people like to discuss most after having enough food and drink is which university in Japan is the strongest.
The university often ranks first. For a long time, the cabinet has often been controlled by people who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and the University of Tokyo's science and engineering departments are often ranked among the top 30 in the world.
Next are famous universities such as Hitotsubashi and Tokyo Institute of Technology.
However, Keio University, one of the three major universities, is often only ranked tenth among Japanese universities.
However, if we have to say which Japanese group is the strongest, it must be the Keio Mita-kai.
About Mitakai.
It is the name of the Keio University Alumni Association, and is also the oldest alumni association in Japan.
The earliest Mita-kai was established in the 13th year of the Meiji era at the Yushima Shohei-kan, where about 300 people reunited to meet their old friends, and Fukuzawa Yukichi and Obata Atsujiro gave speeches.
Since then, similar gatherings have been held irregularly, and "00 Academy Alumni Reunions" named after places are often held in various parts of Japan.
Later, this alumni association added "Mita" where the Keio headquarters was located, and by the end of the Meiji era, it was completely settled. Now, there are a total of 865 Mita-kais in Japan and around the world, and a considerable number of the approximately 360,000 members belong to this Mita-kai.
Annual Mitakai This is equivalent to the so-called "cohort association" and is composed of the college members of the graduates who join the association immediately after graduation from university.
The biggest event of the Mitakai is to invite students to attend the graduation ceremony in the 25th year after graduation and the entrance ceremony in the 50th year. In other words, after graduating from Keio, students can attend the entrance ceremony and graduation ceremony twice in their lifetime.
The regional Mita-kai is composed of members from cram schools in each region.
The professional Mita-kais include the Mita Law Association, the CPA Mita-kai, the Hotel Mita-kai, the Dental Mita-kai, and the Mita-kai of each company. They are all Mita-kais organized by students in the same profession or workplace.
SFC Mita Association is the largest alumni association, and graduates from the Faculty of Policy Studies, Faculty of Environmental Information, Faculty of Nursing and Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Policy and Media Studies, and Graduate School of Health Management join the association upon graduation.
The reason why the Mitakai is so strong is that, in addition to the fact that all the students who can enter Keio University come from wealthy and powerful families, in this capitalist society where the consortium is the country, the total number of Mitakai members who serve as presidents in large companies is almost the same as the total number of Tokyo University and Waseda University.
Moreover, for a long time, the huge Ministry of Finance has been controlled by the Mita Kai, and even has its traditional sphere of influence - the National Tax Bureau and the Financial Services Agency.
besides.
Keio Mita University has a sense of solidarity that is unmatched by other universities.
In his book, Shimada Hiromi wrote that the Mita-kai possesses a strong sense of solidarity that is unmatched among other universities and is the basis for students to share a lifelong sense of pride and identity as members of the academy.
Its unity is almost the same as religion.
When graduating students are interviewed, as long as the interviewer is from Keio, they will definitely be admitted as an exception, no matter how outstanding their competitors are, as long as they sing the school song "Young Blood".
University ranking?
International academic status?
Keio students don't care about these things! Make money!
Make money!
Since the founding of the school by Fukuzawa Yoshiaki, if we must say what the core meaning of the Mita-kai is, it is simply making money.
If we have to make money and have other relationships, it is brothers and sisters helping each other to make money together.
As for the Daizo-Samida Association, it is also one of the Keio alumni associations.
The Ministry of Finance has been able to maintain a tight control over the National Taxation Bureau for a long time because the entire national taxation system is under the control of the Mita Kai.
Very early.
Naoto Nagano wanted to join the Okura-Mita Association to build some connections.
It’s just that the members of the Daizo Mita Society are of too high a rank, and as a mere section chief, he has no idea what to do when he goes there.
It's different now.
The biggest benefit of Ikeda Sakurako helping him become the department head was not that he would become a powerful president, but that he would be able to completely step into a higher class by using the delicate relationship between Japan's Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
This is the admission ticket to the Okura-Samta Association!
Early the next morning.
Nagano opened his eyes and shouted, "Yuki, can you help me iron my clothes?"
"Hate it! I didn't get off work until 12 o'clock yesterday, and you beat me so badly and still made me do all this. I finally have a chance to rest, so I'd like to ask Kasan for help, straight man!" Yuki Nagano licked the saliva at the corner of her mouth, muttered twice, and then hugged the pillow and fell asleep.
Hearing this answer, Nagano Kanako's usually gentle eyes actually rolled up playfully, and then she followed Nagano Nao into the room.
Having been able to read people's expressions since she was young, how could Nagano Kanako not understand what he meant.
Kneeled on the ground for a while.
Kanako Nagano picked up the clothes and ironed them, then helped Nagano Nagano put them on one by one.
You’re not even to mention.
People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold.
Wearing a neat suit and with his hair waxed, Nagano's straight masculine temperament has been significantly enhanced.
Wearing a Rolex watch, he exudes the aura of a superior from the inside out, especially with the scar on his face, which makes him look particularly manly.
Nagano Kanako gently helped him straighten his tie, hugged him and said, "Please be careful on the road, straight man!"
"Hmm? Didn't we agree to call you master?"
"Yuki is still home, this is so embarrassing!"
"Who said we can't call each other master? I like to hear it."
"Master, please drive slowly on the road. Jianaizi will be looking forward to your coming back for dinner every day!"
"Where are you looking forward to?"
"Hate!"
“.”
Leave home.
Nao Nagano drove directly to the foot of Mt. Daimonji in Kyoto.
The shade of the trees is in a hurry, and the mountains are in the distance.
At the foot of the mountains is a beautiful resort center and golf course.
The Kansai Daizo Mitakai Club is located here.
There were a lot of luxury cars parked outside, all of them were world-class luxury cars, and Nagano Nao's Master Bayer looked a little shabby just like he did at school.
However, the identity of the people who could come here no longer needed a car to embellish it. The security guard recognized Naoto Nao's identity and respectfully invited him into the club.
There were many people coming to the monthly gathering.
Many of the faces seemed familiar, having appeared on TV or in newspapers.
But the most surprising thing was a middle-aged man with waxed hair and a meticulous expression. He looked like a samurai, not the money-making Mita LSP.
The current Minister of Finance is Ryutaro Hashimoto.
As a high-ranking figure, many people around Ryutaro Hashimoto bowed and greeted him, but his responses seemed somewhat perfunctory and he seemed to be worried about something.
This is also inevitable.
Ever since Naoto Ichimanda, the relationship between the Ministry of Finance and the central bank has been very delicate.
For a long time, it was difficult to judge whether the central bank belonged to the Americans or the Japanese.
Just like when Toyota was about to go bankrupt, Naoto Ichimaneda, the governor of the central bank, actually said that things like automobile manufacturing and high technology could be done by Americans.
If the United Imperial Bank had not been established, Toyota Industries, the national pride of Japan today, would have long since disappeared into history.
What's even more hateful is that for a long time the central bank has sidelined the president who was parachuted in from the Ministry of Finance. Now it's time for rotation again. As the prince of the yen, Yasunori Mie is determined to lead the central bank out of the final control of the Ministry of Finance. It's really a headache.
What's worse is that this bastard Sanye Yasunori actually wants to burst the economic bubble, which goes against his idea of wanting to see a slow landing.
But Iida Yoko had made a good start, and Mie Yasuno also seized the righteousness of real estate causing the new population to collapse. This was related to whether the Yamato nation would naturally die out, and he really had no excuse to stop it.
For a long time, members of the Mita-kai have been spread throughout the financial industry. In this case, even if he is busy with official duties, he has to attend the gatherings of the Daizo-Mita-kai to maintain relationships.
suddenly.
Ryutaro Hashimoto saw someone.
Because of this, his face darkened.
From Iida Yoko, he already knew that the initial idea of delaying retirement due to the increase in population and aging came from Nagano Nao, and it was this excuse that gave Mie Yasunori the excuse to seize the righteousness of the Yamato nation's prosperity.
But as a senior, you still have to be considerate.
Speaking of it, this kid is the most capable among the new generation of the Nakamura family. Even though he is just a concubine's son, it would not be surprising for him to be adopted into the main family to ensure the continuation of the family.
If he could win over the Nakamura family, it would definitely help him get promoted in the future.
A smile shows friendliness.
Ryutaro Hashimoto looked at Nagano Nao.
This guy is not stupid. When he saw such a thick thigh, he immediately bowed 90 degrees and said, "Hello, Senior Hashimoto!"
"It's you, Nagano. Are you here alone?"
"Yes! I didn't expect to meet you here, Senior. No wonder Nagano dreamed of a dragon appearing when he came to the party last night!"
