Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 387 The Background of the Times

   Masayoshi Kishimoto personally led the team to take a Gulfstream series private jet from Haneda International Airport again to fly directly to Shanghai, China.

   He has a good impression of this city, which is second only to Tokyo in Asia. To be precise, he has a good impression of Shanghai people.

   Although he has heard many people talk about how bad the general impression of Shanghai people is, he still does not change his original intention. People from Shanghai who say "country people" in their mouths are often the petty bourgeoisie.

   They belong to this type of people who grew up in this international metropolis, living the ordinary life of a peasant, longing for the affluent life of the middle class in their hearts, and delusional in their heads the rich life of the rich.

   In the class of intellectuals, basically there will be no more "country people". In fact, most of Shanghai's department-level cadres and above are foreigners.

   The reason why this happens can be traced back to the period of cadres who went south. Those who can sit above this level are the officials that the common people often say.

   Non-division-level cadres, that is, ordinary civil servants, will not be specially set up by the provincial organization department, and will not ask you to hand over your passport in some provinces, and immediate family members cannot immigrate overseas.

   Otherwise, no promotion or dismissal will be given. Among them, there are many social elites and professional talents, so they generally have the ability to think independently.

   There will be a consensus among this group, why should I change my past lifestyle and habits? Therefore, they stubbornly do not speak Shanghai dialect, which is Wu Nong's soft language.

After   00, the native Shanghainese have gradually stopped speaking Shanghainese, or they are not at ease. They started to speak Mandarin and more accepting of the Western-style modern way of life.

  The biggest advantage of Shanghai people is that they can carry them clearly. Yours is yours, mine is mine, don't take advantage of me, and I won't take advantage of you.

   For this reason, these are the basic situations that Kishimoto Masayoshi knew and came into contact with in his previous life. In his opinion, the most friendly city to the Japanese in mainland China is probably Shanghai. Otherwise, there will be no 300,000 Japanese living in this city in the future.

   The person Masayoshi Kishimoto wants to meet in Shanghai this time is Chen Tianqiao from Shanda Network. At this point in 2000, Chen Tianqiao was still a little-known ordinary businessman. The other party's company is mainly engaged in the main business related to animation, and its performance is not very good.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi held whisky in his hand, and his eyes looked at the blue sky with white clouds through the glass window. He didn't feel anything about the good weather outside, and once again fell into personal thinking.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly remembered the mid-1990s TV series "Shanghainese in Tokyo" starring Chen Daoming that he watched when he was a child.

   Although it is not as famous as "BJ People in New York", it is enough to reflect how difficult it is for some Shanghainese to live abroad.

  In the 21st century, there is also a Chinese documentary about Shanghainese in Japan, which also reflects the need for a way out for ordinary citizens to seek to change their destiny.

   At this time, the way for Shanghai people to go out to work is to go to Japan in the name of studying. Even if you go to a small place in Hokkaido with only 100,000 people at the peak of its population, you have to go out.

   Now, there are nearly 50,000 to 60,000 people. Most of the young people went to Tokyo, leaving only a few old and weak women and children.

  Hokkaido has a lot of romantic imagination in the hearts of many people. This is like soaking in hot springs and watching the snow, and drinking sake.

   In fact, Hokkaido is so large that, as one of the four major islands in Japan, a prefecture was established on it. In many remote places, even the Japanese call it the land of extravagance or the land of Huawai.

   Even Shikoku, the smallest of the four major islands, is divided into four counties. Its main economy is agriculture. The economy of Hokkaido is also not good.

For mainland Chinese students in this era, the knowledge of Hokkaido originated from the writing of "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles", also known as "A Bowl of Soba Noodles", written by a third-rate Japanese writer Li Liangping, and thus to know the city of Sapporo. .

   Kishimoto Masayoshi has a lot in his heart. The expansion of university enrollment in mainland China revealed employment problems until 2003.

   If children from ordinary families want to change their own destiny, even their family, and the fate of their family, the safest way and shortcut is to pass the college entrance examination and go to university. Doing business requires capital.

   Officially announced that the average monthly income of Shanghai residents in 2000 was 1,285 yuan. In fact, Kishimoto Masayoshi dared to guarantee that the monthly income of the ordinary citizens living in the alleys would generally only be half of the average monthly income, that is, concentrated on the monthly income of six or seven hundred soft sister coins.

   He was not just thinking without basis. I immediately thought of a reality TV series "Outlander" written and directed by Guan Hu, which just reflects the real life of Shanghai people around the 21st century.

   The line he remembers most is the words of the owner of the small sewing shop scolding his own nephew. The background is that his own nephew is in love with a local Shanghai woman. He was initially passive and did not take the initiative to hook up.

  They (that is, Shanghainese), don't work hard, it doesn't matter. They are still them. However, you (out-of-towners) can't do it. If you don't work hard, they will look down on you.

  The owner of the small tailor shop would get angry and slapped his own nephew, and the girl's mother would scold him. Those country folks, little red guys, squatters... The words that Shanghai specifically uses to swear at people are naturally exposed.

   In fact, the girl is not a high-level person. She just started to sell tickets on the bus, and she got a job in the unit where her father works by giving priority to the children of internal employees.

   Shanghai people are not like Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong people who like to do business independently. Their first choice is to change their fate through reading.

   At this time, it is still useful to go abroad to gild. Over time, it will go all the way down. Masayoshi Kishimoto knew in his heart that in 20 years, China would be a different situation.

   "Turtle" will also become "kelp" in large quantities. They went abroad to study and saved those pheasant universities abroad to the greatest extent. Of course, it also reflects their social class.

  Students who are not admitted to key universities in mainland China, as long as they have some background, are generally the lower middle class, and their first choices will definitely be Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Russia, and Australia.

  If the middle class is in the upper class or the wealthy class, the first choice will be developed countries in Europe and America. Students studying in ordinary universities are often from workers, peasants and soldiers, and a few are children of the lower middle class or the families of township-level cadres.
