Under One Person: The Invincible Catfish King
Chapter 414 The Grand Shrine is Pressured in Return
In Japan, the catfish god is not only a deity who can control earthquakes and floods, but also a god of fortune who can bring wealth to people. Therefore, since ancient times, many merchants and craftsmen have voluntarily worshipped it.
_(??w?? 」∠)_
In the religious culture of Japan, the image of the catfish god is diverse and complex.
Its ability to control earthquakes and floods demonstrates its immense natural power, a power that is both awe-inspiring and unsettling.
However, as a god of fortune, it brings people hope and aspirations.
For merchants and artisans, the acquisition of wealth is often accompanied by many uncertainties and risks.
In their traditional belief, by worshipping the catfish god, one can receive divine protection and thus achieve success in business or crafts.
This belief is not merely a spiritual sustenance, but a cultural tradition integrated into their daily business and the transmission of their crafts.
The reason why the Catfish God Group was able to develop so quickly and make a fortune is believed to be due to the blessing of the Catfish God.
(?????)☆
In a highly competitive business environment, the success of the Catfish God Group stands out as quite unique.
From a business operations perspective, Catfish God Group always seems to be able to grasp the pulse of the market and make the right decisions.
However, in the cultural context of Japan, people are more willing to believe that this is the result of the protection of the catfish god.
This belief played a subtle but significant role in the development of the Catfish God Group.
It not only enhanced the cohesion and confidence of the group's employees, but also attracted more partners and customers to a certain extent.
After all, everyone knows that the Catfish God Group started out by Catfish King A-Zhu leading everyone to fish and make money.
Catfish King Azhu played a crucial role in the early development of the Catfish God Group.
Its initial experience of leading everyone to fish was the starting point for the group's development.
In this process, it demonstrated exceptional leadership and a unique insight into fishery resources.
It can accurately determine the location of precious fish schools and choose the best time to fish, which allows them to have a rich harvest every time they go out to sea.
Why is it that everyone else fails to catch those precious fish when they go out to sea, while Catfish King Azhu always manages to catch the most precious fish and has a bountiful harvest every time he goes out on the boat?
It is important to know that the success of fishing is affected by a variety of factors, such as fishing skills, understanding of the marine environment, and the use of fishing gear.
However, people tend to believe that this was a special favor shown by the catfish god through the catfish king, Azhu.
Because the Catfish King Azhu seems to have a special ability to communicate with the Catfish God, which allows him to catch a large number of precious fish every time.
Why is it that everyone is fishing at sea, but only the Catfish God Group can make a fortune?
This is of course thanks to the protection of the catfish god!

As for the high-ranking officials of Japan, although the Catfish God Group is very profitable, the marine fishing, catering and transportation industries it is involved in are not considered to be vital to the country's survival.
Judging from Japan's industrial structure and strategic layout, the country's vital industries are often concentrated in fields such as high-end manufacturing, electronic technology, and nuclear energy.
These industries are crucial to a nation's core competitiveness, energy security, and strategic position on the international stage.
In contrast, while marine fishing, catering, and transportation also contribute significantly to the economy, their influence and strategic importance are relatively low.
Furthermore, most of the Catfish God Group's most profitable marine fishing comes from fishing in other countries' waters, especially those controlled by the Bald Eagle Empire.
As a resource-scarce island nation, Japan's desire for resources is a key factor in its foreign policy and economic development strategy.
Regarding marine resources, given the limited resources in their own sea areas, seeking resource supplementation from the sea areas of other countries has become a potential option.
The waters controlled by the Bald Eagle Empire are rich in fishery resources. Although the Catfish God Group's fishing trip to these waters carries certain diplomatic risks, from the perspective of the Sakura Kingdom, it is an effective way to acquire resources.
This behavior, to some extent, reflects the helplessness of Japan in the international competition for resources, as the shortage of its own resources forces them to seek support from external resources.
Therefore, the Japanese government was actually secretly providing support behind the scenes, since Japan is very resource-poor, and fishery resources are an important resource!
Throughout the historical development of Japan, resource scarcity has always been a major bottleneck restricting its progress.
As a renewable natural resource, fishery resources are of great significance for meeting domestic food demand, maintaining the development of fishery-related industries, and obtaining foreign exchange in international trade.
The Japanese government was well aware of this, so while it could not openly support the Catfish God Group's overseas fishing activities that violated the maritime rights of other countries, it secretly gave it a certain degree of tacit approval and support in order to obtain economic benefits from fishery resources.
The Catfish God Group is essentially stealing resources from other countries, which of course must be supported!
Behind this seemingly immoral behavior lies a complex web of interests in Japan.
In the context of international political and economic competition, every country is striving for its own interests.
Japan faces enormous pressure in terms of resource acquisition, and while the actions of the Catfish God Group may trigger diplomatic disputes, they can bring real economic benefits to Japan in the short term, such as increasing the supply of domestic fishery products, driving the development of related industries, and increasing foreign exchange earnings.
From the perspective of Japan's national interests, this support is, to some extent, in line with its own interests.
The Catfish God Group is now a major taxpayer in Japan, and because of its high profits, it pays a lot of taxes—several times more than other companies of similar size!
In the fiscal system of Japan, tax revenue is a crucial source of funding for maintaining government operations and providing public services. The Catfish God Group, leveraging its strengths in marine fishing, catering, and transportation...
The high profits from transportation and other sectors have made a significant contribution to the fiscal revenue of the Sakura Kingdom.
Compared to other companies of similar size, the high tax payments made by the Catfish God Group enable the government to provide more funds for infrastructure construction, education, healthcare, and other public services.
This forced the Sakura Kingdom government to consider the importance of the Catfish God Group to its fiscal revenue when weighing its attitude towards it.
What reassured the high-ranking officials of the Sakura Kingdom even more was that the chairman of the Catfish God Group would not get involved in politics or compete with them for power. He was just a catfish that liked to eat, drink, have fun, and crave enjoyment and empty fame!
In the political landscape of Japan, the struggle for power is often extremely fierce.
The power struggle between political forces involves various aspects, including economic interests, policy-making, and social influence.
The chairman of the Catfish God Group's apathy towards politics meant that the top brass of Sakura Country did not have to worry about power challenges from the business world.
For the top brass of Japan, they prefer to cooperate with such companies because this can avoid the dispersion of political power and potential political conflicts.
Since Catfish King A-zhu likes empty fame, then give it to him. Since Catfish God Group is investing in the shrine, then support it. As long as the benefits are right, everything is negotiable!
When dealing with the relationship between the Sakura Kingdom's leadership and the Catfish God Group, they took into full account the personal preferences of Catfish King A-zhu and the positive impact of the Catfish God Group's business activities on national interests.
Giving the Catfish King a false title can satisfy his psychological needs and at the same time stabilize the relationship between the Catfish God Group and the government.
The investment of the Catfish God Group in the shrine not only helps the development and maintenance of the shrine, but also reflects the company's social responsibility to a certain extent. At the same time, it can also enhance the cultural influence of Japan through the dissemination of shrine culture.
As for the pressure from those ancient shrines, given the enormous profits involved, the higher-ups in Japan certainly wouldn't actually confront the Catfish God Group.
While the Grand Shrine wields significant influence in the religious and socio-cultural spheres of Japan, when it comes to matters of national economic interests and strategic planning, the Japanese leadership tends to prioritize practical benefits when making decisions.
They understand the importance of the Catfish God Group to the national treasury, resource acquisition, and employment, and will not easily give up this important economic partner because of pressure from the Great Shrine.
Therefore, the government of the Sakura Kingdom told the major shrines that it was not convenient for the government to interfere in matters between the shrines, and warned them not to make a big fuss.
<(-︿-)>
This attitude demonstrates the government's neutral stance on shrine affairs and also implies that the Ōshrine should not let its conflict with the Nyanko-sensei group affect social stability and national interests, hoping that they can resolve the dispute internally and avoid escalating the conflict to an uncontrollable level.
