Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 196 Reminiscences of Boyhood

   Kishimoto Masayoshi and Natsui Makoto strolled around outdoors before returning home. When passing by the disc rental shop, they walked in and rented out the original idol drama "Tokyo Love Story".

   Japanese disc rental shops are completely different from Chinese disc rental shops. The former has a dedicated community for renting **** movies, which is completely legal after all.

  The latter is illegal even if there are **** videos for rent, and it is going on secretly. After entering the store, it's like an underground party connection. If you ask the boss, is there any kind of film?

The boss will first see if the person looks like a plainclothes policeman, then he will look outside the store, and finally he will either take the person into another small room to choose that kind of movie, or he will pull down the shutter or something. Half a fan, and then take out that kind of film and let it be selected.

   And the daily rental price of that kind of film is also higher than the rental price of normal films. Not only adults, but also student parties from time to time.

  At that time, it was a kind of courage among friends, especially for middle school students to rent that kind of film. Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was born in the 1980s in the previous generation, knew very well that the **** education of his generation did not come from "Health and Hygiene" taught in school classrooms, but all from that kind of film.

   That kind of film has played an indispensable role in the **** education and sexual enlightenment of the post-80s generation in China. This is an irrefutable fact.

   He remembered very clearly that the first time he watched that kind of film was when he was in the second grade of junior high school. A group of boys in a class gathered at a classmate's house at noon, and their faces flushed with excitement.

   The whole process was highly exciting, for fear that I missed a scene. Even in the afternoon class, he was still excited, and the flushing on his face remained for a long time.

  The boys who have seen that kind of film are still gathering together between classes are some of the wonderful scenes of the hot chat that have an unforgettable aftertaste, so that the boys in the class who have not seen that kind of film are envious when they know it.

   They all asked to call him the next time they watched that kind of film. If a certain girl overheard her ear, she would immediately run away with a blushing face.

   As time goes on, I watch that kind of film more and more, and then when I grow up, work, and especially with a personal computer, I no longer have the patience to watch the whole film from start to finish.

   This is basically what happened to urban children born in the 80s. Many rural children born in the 1980s saw the so-called film for the first time after they entered the university.

   They were far more shocked than the city kids thought when they first watched a movie. Furthermore, some delinquent teenagers go to the black video room and gather with young people, middle-aged people, and old people to watch those kinds of films.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto was awakened by walking into a disc rental shop for the lost youth in his previous life. To this end, he also remembered another thing.

   At this time, in China in 1999, Aido VCD, endorsed by Jackie Chan, was popular all over the country and was once one of the most successful brands in China's home appliance industry. The founder Hu Zhibiao is also a legend.

   However, next year, in 2000, Aido VCD will go bankrupt. It took only about four years for such a company to grow from nothing, from small to large, and from glory to ruin.

   Natsui Makoto, who returned home, did not go directly to the living room, but ran to the kitchen. After she washed her hands by the sink, she went to the refrigerator to get the fruit, ready to make a mixed fruit platter.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi went straight to the living room. He turned on the TV and DVD player respectively. After he put the disc of the first episode of "Tokyo Love Story" into the DVD player, he changed the channel to the one on the TV that was dedicated to playing the movie.

   After waiting for a while, a musical prelude that could fully awaken personal memories was played in my home surround sound.

   Masaru Kishimoto couldn't help but feel a little excited, took the remote control in his right hand as a microphone, and sang aloud.

   When Kazuma Oda finished singing the theme song "Sudden Love" along with the opening screen and the film was about to start, he pressed the pause button in his hand.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi turned and sat on the couch, patiently waiting for Natsui Makoto to come with the fruit plate, so that the two of them could watch together.

   He couldn't help but talk to himself suddenly and repeatedly about 1999. At this time in my previous life, I had just graduated from junior high school and was preparing for the high school entrance examination in a few months.

   His puppy love didn't happen in junior high school like many boys, but in elementary school. His first crush was not the few cute girls in the class, but the young Chinese teacher who had just started working.

   He remembered very clearly that his primary school Chinese teacher was a local college graduate. If this is put on hold in 20 years, it will be a joke on academic qualifications.

   In a university town, ten bricks are thrown down at will, and seven of the ten hits are undergraduates. As for the remaining three, they all hit graduate students.

   This year is not only the beginning of the expansion of the college entrance examination in mainland China, but also the beginning of the gradual devaluation of academic qualifications. At this time, the media advocated all kinds of good university enrollment expansion, but deliberately avoided the employment problem after graduation.

   After all, after 1996, college graduations are no longer packaged. Self-employment is to put it nicely, so that those poor college students who have no social connections, no social background, and no social connections originally hoped to go to university to change their fate, but opened up a very difficult job search road.

   They exhausted all the resources in the family by going to college, and even went into debt. Their physical and mental pressure is not generally great.

   In addition, the Asian financial turmoil that started in the second half of 1997 and ended at the end of 1998 also negatively affected the whole of China. Even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were not spared.

   At the same time, the first nationwide wave of layoffs started in 1998 not only caused many state-owned enterprises to go bankrupt, but also caused many people to lose their jobs.

   Even now in February 1999, not many new jobs have been created, but small businesses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

   Originally there was only one small vendor selling breakfast on the street, but all of a sudden there were ten. At the same time, the number of unemployed people in the society is also increasing.

   College graduates come to compete with these people for job opportunities and jobs, and it is conceivable how cruel the competition will be. It is not surprising that college graduates sell steamed buns, steamed buns, and vegetables.

   It is even so miserable that many urban families go to the ground to pick up some unwanted vegetable leaves to eat after they have collected them in the vegetable market. Even worse is suicide.

  Not only in mainland China, but also in Japan. After World War II, Japan's suicide rate peaked during the 1990s.

   As for university graduates with connections, backgrounds, and connections, they will naturally have a job arranged by their family.

The polarization has become prominent. The other end of the journey towards wealth is getting richer and more people. Most of them are concentrated in the major cities along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south. hardest hit area.
