Chapter 1673


    Yashiko looked down whenever he thought of his potential partnership with the Schulz family. 3


    In the car, he sighed, saying, "Tanaka, Japanese economic development has been in a slump for a


    decade. Not only our family but the fortunes of a few prestigious families have been affected and


    shrunk. Also, our heirs are not as capable..." s


    Tanaka asked hurriedly, "Chairman, Japan was once the most developed country in the world for a


    few decades ever since the world war. Why hasn’t it kept u p for the past ten years?"


    Yashiko replied regretfully.


    "There are many reasons contributing to this slowed-down economy. Firstly, there is a limited supply


    of natural resources andnd in Japan. Secondly, there were no recent breakthroughs in the


    Japanese information technology industry.”


    Yashiko continued emotionally, "Look, gone are those years when many Japanese sectors were on


    top of the world. These sectors have gradually lost their significance in recent years." 6


    "Back in those days, Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Toshiba were the established brands around the


    world. Sony had the world''s best television that screened colorful pictures and sold over the world;


    Sony Ericsson''s mobile phones were popr globally, while Panasonic and Hitachi''s home


    appliances and semiconductors were also very well-known. Look, where are these brands now? All


    losing its poprity!" s


    "Oskia now produces the majority of television sets around the world due to its cost-effectiveness.


    Two gigantic makers share the world’s mobile phone industry. Apple Inc. from the United States


    owns one, and the remaining are shared between Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo from Oskia.


    Where on earth would we find Japanese mobile phones? Even the Samsung brand from South


    Korea has long lost its attractiveness!" 6


    Tanaka could not help but share the disappointment." You''re right, Chairman. Japan has indeed lost


    its traditionalpetitiveness, especially in electrical products..."


    Yashiko sighed and said, "Not only are we losing out i n electronics, but the Japanese steel industry


    also used to top the world, where even the Americans look highly upon our special raw steel.


    Nheless, the notorious scandal regarding bad steel has caused everything to tumble!" 7


    "Originally, Shinkansen technology and high-speed rail technology were both innovated and


    pioneered by the Japanese. Nevertheless, who would have thought that Oskia''s high-speed rail


    woulde out on top, causing Japan, German, and France''s HSR toe sorelycking. Even


    Shinkansen technology had lost most of its overseas sales..." 6


    Tanaka kept sighing and continued, "Our family has invested proportionately in the sectors


    mentioned above. The slump of these sectors will lead to a shrink in our fortune too. Hence, this


    poses a severe problem ..." 4


    Yashiko''s tone was harsh.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Not only so, but the main contributing factor is also due to theck of creativity and innovation from


    the Japanese youth!"


    "Over the years, Oskia has produced arge number of world-ss inte corporations, as well as


    control over seventy percent of the world''s drone market. The irony is that there have never been


    any influential Intepanies from Japan in these recent years! We will be losing our


    competitiveness if this continues!" 3


    Tanaka nodded in agreement, "Comparatively, Oskia’s prestigious families are getting wealthier and


    more influential as a result of the nation''s progressiveness i n many sectors. They are even capable


    of challenging the Europeans and Americans, let alone Japan.”


    "Exactly,” Yashiko concurred solemnly. 5


    "They were way behind us in those days. Within a blink of an eye, they''ve now surpassed us and


    are on the verge of challenging the Americans. We, on the other hand, have been left far behind.


    Ironically, we’ve to please the Oskians nowadays to achieve a breakthrough in our sectors. As the


    saying goes,


    everyone has its highs and lows." 2


    Yashiko said in a grave tone. "That''s because we were stagnant while Oskia was progressing


    speedily.


    Therefore, we need to stay close with the prestigious Oskian families, and the iing partnership


    with the Schulz family is indeed an opportunity not to be missed."


    Tanaka nodded hurriedly and answered, "Chairman, b e rest assured that I will give it my best!"


    Undoubtedly, the Japanese economy had significantly plummeted in recent years.
