In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

In the songs, young people talk about the hardships of today's life, the difficulty of getting married, the seemingly endless housing prices, and the despair of not being able to get married and have children.

Young faces, with self-mockery.

A pair of black eyes, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What is most heart-wrenching is that those eyes are filled with despair and no light, as if they are the walking corpses.

Because I'm old.

It has been a long time since Seiji Tsutsumi has come into contact with the lower classes of society.

Data has no emotions. Although we know that life at the bottom is getting harder and harder, we never expected that young people today would be exploited to this extent.

real estate!

Can't afford a house.

It’s not that I don’t want to get married, but because we can’t afford to buy a house, my girlfriend followed someone else.

My wife and I also like children, but the place we rent now only has five folding floors, so there is really no way we can have a baby.

marry?

I don't want to think about it anymore. With this housing price, based on my current salary, I need at least 35,000 yuan to be able to buy a house.

The interviews were played on TV one after another.

It was like a sword stabbing my heart.

Seiji Tsutsumi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt.

Although, no one mentioned Seibu Group.

But the entire Seibu owns one-sixth of the land in Japan and has assets worth $1650 billion. Everyone knows that the reason for all this is the Tsutsumi family.

At the end.

It was Nagano Nao who mentioned the relationship between social population and economy as an expert at the Institute of Biomedical Research.

It explains why Japan's life insurance policy has to postpone the retirement age, and the aging and declining birthrate population crisis that the Yamato people will face in the future.

end.

It is the melody of the Internationale.

There was no singing, just low voices.

However, every melody was like the beating of a drum, causing Seiji Tsutsumi's expression to change again and again.

at last.

The videotape has finished playing.

The room was quiet. Apart from the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

It was obvious that Seiji Tsutsumi's chest was rising and falling rapidly. After a long while, he calmed down and said, "Little comrade, which school are you from?"

Comrade?

Nagano Nao's expression was quite interesting. He endured the feeling of eating shit and said with shame: "The student is from Keio... University."

Keio?

Seiji Tsutsumi's expression was also very interesting.

He knew better than anyone what the situation was like in Keio. The girls had been vain since childhood and traded their bodies for money, while the boys turned sex into a driving force and worked hard to make money.

The entire financial circle is in chaos and social morals are corrupted, all because that old bastard Fukuzawa Yukichi founded Keio!

"Are you a student at Keio University?"

Although I was born in Keio, I am a legitimate successor to communism!

Nagano Nao said secretly, but could only nod.

At this point, he began to suspect that Ikeda Sakurako asked him to come because she probably didn't want to face such an embarrassing situation!

After all, Seiji Tsutsumi is a legend of the times. After confirming this answer, his eyes became calm.

"Nagano, what made you create this kind of program?"

"Before graduation, Nagano became a son-in-law for some reasons. During college, I have been reading your works, and I have always been deeply impressed by the current situation of capitalism running rampant and parasitic on society. Although my life has improved after graduation, many of my colleagues, friends, and subordinates are under the control of capital, and are getting further and further away from their ideals."

"..."

Naoto Nagano talks nonsense about politics and economics.

Seiji Tsutsumi listened silently, without any dissatisfaction or other expression on his face.

After Nagano Nao finished speaking, there was relative silence.

This made Nagano Nao feel a little uneasy. With Seiji Tsutsumi's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to see the purpose behind this program. Faced with blood ties, no one could guarantee what choice this big man would make.

a long time.

Tsutsumi Seiji said calmly: "I roughly understand why you are here."

Naoto Nao knew that the other party wanted him to leave, so he stood up and said, "I feel very uneasy for disturbing you for so long, and I hope to have the opportunity to listen to your teachings more!"

"..."

After all, blood is above all else!

Not getting the support he wanted, Nagano Nao felt a bit of a failure, but if blood ties could be easily severed, they would no longer be blood ties.

The phone rings.

Then Ikeda Sakurako's voice came over: "What is Mr. Tsutsumi's attitude?"

“No statement was made.”

"Just as I expected."

"Nani?"

"Don't straight men think that not expressing an opinion is the best opinion?"

"You mean?"

"Seibu Distribution has a huge cash flow, and Mr. Tsutsumi holds a pivotal position in the economic, political, and cultural fields. The best outcome would be if he does not support the Seibu Group."

"That's true!"

"Mijo Konno will take office tomorrow."

"I see."

"..."

10 month 29 day.

All major television stations and newspapers reported the news that Yasunori Mie, deputy governor of the Bank of Japan, would be appointed president.

This matter has nothing to do with ordinary people, so it didn't cause much sensation.

And at night.

Osaka Kobe TV also broadcast a news segment.

"Hello, are you married?"

"no!"

"Why haven't you gotten married at this age?"

"Because I can't find a wife!"

"..."

"My girlfriend ran off with a rich man!"

"After deducting food and rent from my monthly income..."

"..."

Chapter 200 Chapter 205 Tremble - The ultimate blow from the Heisei genius

on the television.

A young man sits at a workstation on the assembly line, facing the camera.

You can see his two buck teeth and the vegetables stuck in his teeth after lunch.

He looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, wearing a blue factory uniform. Although he should be at an age full of fighting spirit, his eyes were dull and gloomy like an old man.

I was asked if I had considered buying a house and getting married.

The young man just smiled and said: "House prices are rising every year. I may never be able to afford it, so I won't consider getting married."

"What will you do when you get old without children?"

"I'm old now, so maybe I can just find a random place to die!"

"..."

Ordinary words have no anger, no complaints, no hatred and no shouting.

But those eyes, which could be seen clearly even through the screen, revealed the numbness and despair towards the future life.

Then there is a new picture.

And without exception.

The eyes of the young people interviewed showed indifference, negativity and numbness towards the future. When talking about getting married and having children, they said that they would never be able to afford a house in this lifetime anyway and had never thought about these things.

If Kurigen Kazuko asked whether their parents would urge them to get married, the boys being interviewed would just smile and say, there's nothing they can do about it, but now the most basic condition for girls going on blind dates is a house, so they haven't contacted their families for a long time.

Watch the show on TV finish.

Kurigen Kazuko said with twinkling eyes: "The president has agreed to put the life and economy column on a schedule to attract ratings. Violent Dragon, how did you convince that guy?"

"It's nothing, just a casual chat. Maybe he thinks it's good too!" Nagano Nao lied casually. In fact, the real reason was nothing more than the relationship between Kobe TV and Toho.

In this invisible power struggle, he, Kobe TV, Seiji Tsutsumi, and the people being interviewed are all pawns.

But Kazuko Kurihara did not know that a very high-level struggle was unfolding. Even though she was a journalist with a high level of political acumen, she was completely unaware of the scale of this chessboard, which involved cabinet struggles, wars among conglomerates, and different class and party positions.
