The rise of nanometers

January 18, 2014.

Kyushu, near Sasebo base.

Winter snowflakes fall lightly on roofs, streets, and trees, dyeing the world white.

In small cities, local residents have extremely mixed emotions about the departure of the American army. They are eager for these garbage men to get out of here, but they are also reluctant to part with the green banknotes brought by the American soldiers.

However, the new forces that have just stationed here are also gradually adapting here. Compared with the undisciplined American army, domestic management in this regard is very strict.

Even if you agree to go out for fun, there are strict rules.

Hasegawa, who had just returned to Tokyo, hurried to the vicinity of Sasebo in Kyushu to prepare for a collection.

Kumura sushi restaurant.

The owner of an ordinary sushi restaurant is a middle-aged man with glasses. He looks very serious and is carefully preparing sushi.

On one side of the long table, five soldiers in casual clothes were chatting and laughing. Although the two sides did not understand each other, they could communicate in close agreement through the translation software.

The daughter of the sushi restaurant owner took a sneak peek while cleaning the table. She was a little scared and curious about these people.

Hasegawa and his assistant were also sitting not far away, and he could see the emotions in the girl's eyes.

There used to be soldiers from the American army coming here often. Those gangsters were near the station, but they did all kinds of evil. The daughter of the owner of a sushi restaurant was almost caught in the car by those guys on the way home from school.

This incident has always been a lingering shadow for her. If it hadn't been for a few locals passing by, it would have been absolutely terrible.

The boss quickly prepared several pieces of nigiri sushi and served them to several people. Luo Zhan picked up his chopsticks and ate an eel sushi.

Luo Zhan was previously the platoon leader of a regiment stationed in Liao Province. This time their entire regiment was transferred and stationed at the Sasebo base.

Today was a rare day off, so they went to a small town not far away to see how developed the legendary developed country was.

But along the way, apart from the unique low-rise houses and uniquely trimmed flowers and trees, the road is not much different from that in China. There are even many dirty and messy places.

At least in the past few years, China has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to upgrade environmental sanitation.

Due to the economic decline in Japan, the city has become decadent and desolate, and garbage on the streets has become less and less important.

In small cities, due to the aging of the population, large cities have absorbed young people, and the vast majority of those who stay in the local areas are old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Boss! A piece of tonkotsu ramen." A rare young man walked in and sat in the corner minding his own business.

The boss's daughter smiled and greeted, "Guangjun, long time no see!"

"Hi! Which university does Jinmei plan to go to?" Takahashi Hikaru asked with a smile.

Tanaka Jinmei hesitated: "Waseda!"

Hearing these words, Takahashi Hikaru knew that the other party was definitely not what he wanted to go. After all, the two of them had been neighbors since childhood: "Jinmei, aren't you planning to go to the University of Tokyo?"

After a while, the boss called out, Jinmei brought the ramen on the counter over, and then said helplessly: "This is the decision of father and mother, Waseda is not bad, by the way, Guang-kun, when will you return to Tokyo? "

Back to Tokyo? Takahashi Hikaru shook his head: "No, I plan to stay in my hometown. Whether I go to Tokyo or not will not affect my work."

"Um? Have you found a new job?" Jin Mei asked in surprise.

Takahashi took a sip of the soup and felt his body suddenly warm up: "Yes, I am now working as a comics collaborator for a novel website in China, and I earn more than 8,000 Chinese dollars every month."

"More than eight thousand Chinese dollars? How many yen is it?" Jin Mei was a little confused. After all, Japanese yen or rice dollars were used in Japan before, and Chinese dollars were rare among the people.

After taking a bite of ramen, Takahashi thought for a while: "The current exchange rate seems to be around 28, and one Chinese dollar is equivalent to 28 yen."

"224,000 per month, that's not bad."

"Jinmei, you can actually use it directly without exchanging it. Huayuan is very discounted when you go to the stores of Chinese-owned enterprises to buy things." Takahashi reminded.

In fact, Takahashi thought the income was ordinary at first, but he soon discovered some unspoken rules hidden behind it.

In terms of exchange rate, more than 8,000 Chinese dollars is equivalent to 220,000 yen.

However, the unemployment rate in Japan was very high at this time, especially in major cities, with unemployment rates as high as 20 to 30%.

On the other hand, the deterioration of the international trade environment and the global economic crisis have caused very serious losses to developed regions. Especially after the hard decoupling of the Chinese dollar and the rice dollar, the Japanese yen also suffered heavy losses.

At this time, prices in Japan were soaring, and inflation reached about 300 to 500%.

With high unemployment and high inflation, one could live a good life with 200,000 yen in the past, but now he can barely live with food and clothing. This is due to Noah's arrogance, not raising the price of food, and supplementing some supplies from South America.

Although the exchange rate is 1:28, in fact, Japanese yen cannot be directly exchanged for Chinese dollars, and many companies also use Chinese dollars to settle their trade.

This is only a nominal reference exchange rate. On the black market, 1 Chinese dollar is usually exchanged for 80 to 90 yen. Even with such an outrageous exchange ratio, many people still flock to it.

Especially after the signing of the Tokyo Agreement, many far-sighted Japanese people rushed to convert their wealth into Chinese yuan assets to reduce the disguised losses caused by the large-scale depreciation of the Japanese yen.

The Chinese-funded enterprises that have entered Kyushu, Shikoku and Ryukyu have also secretly weakened the value of the local yen. Through the price difference, people feel that they are at a disadvantage when using the yen.

For example, on the menu in the sushi restaurant at this time, the price of the same dish in Japanese yen is obviously too high, while the price in Chinese yen is obviously too low.

Takahashi eats a bowl of ramen for only 7.2 Chinese yuan, but if he pays in Japanese yen, he needs to pay 1,100 yen. This is also due to the relatively cheap price of food, otherwise it may double.

Hasegawa, who was on the side, also saw this problem, but he was still calm. If the people can get benefits, it doesn't matter if they use Huayuan.

Takahashi, who earns a salary of more than 8,000 Chinese dollars, is a decent middle-income group if he pays in Japanese dollars in Chinese dollars.

In this regard, Japan, which was being crazily dumped, had no power to fight back.

The Noah Society is also beyond their reach. They are now overwhelmed by the local economic problems. How can they have the energy and funds to save Japan.

Moreover, there is no shortage of rice dollars in Japan at this time, but these rice dollars cannot be used. Even if Noah will take the money, it will only lead to more serious inflation here.

What Japan lacks at this time is a stable anchor currency, new pillar industries, and low unemployment.

Due to Jiuzhou's good geographical location and the country's intention to support it, many domestic Internet companies have set up branches here.

In particular, several major novel websites and comic websites have used Japan's long-term experience and talents in exporting culture to translate and transform a large number of excellent novels into comics and put them into the international market.

In terms of cultural export, Japanese people are indeed more experienced than domestic people and have a large number of talents.

Hikaru Takahashi's manga collaboration is to create comics based on the novels specified for the website.

Practitioners in this industry have brought a large amount of Chinese yuan in foreign exchange to Kyushu Island, and have gradually attracted relevant talents from Japan to Kyushu Island.

In addition, the plan to plunder talents in the region is also proceeding in an orderly manner at this time.
