Chapter 12With Shima and Koriyama having been promoted, they had been replaced in their former spots by Tadamitsu Oguri in Beijing and Takashi Yagi in Shanghai. Oguri seemed to be getting off wrong-footed when it came to people like government officials as he wouldn't engage in bribery and spoke bluntly in regards to issues like the Senkaku Islands, but he seemed to try and immerse himself with the common people and employees who in turn seemed to really like him. Yagi quickly made an impact in growing Shanghai Hatsushiba's business by instituting performance based pay but his attitude rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, including Yang and Kokubun. Because of their attitudes towards him and seeming loyalty towards Shima, he proceeded cut Yang's pay while moving Kokubun into a newly created company overseeing Hatsushiba's golf investments. At the same time he also managed to piss off Lu Sangling, their Chinese golf prodigy, by mentioning that he was her older sister's lover.Shima also started going to a Chinese restaurant across from his condo called the Ronghua Hotel where he wound up coming to the aid of its owner, a woman named Tu Zilei who'd come over to Japan after becoming the lover of a politician, as shew as being attacked and shaken down by her younger brother. Concerningly, too, anti-Japan sentiment started rising in China and Hatsushiba was a victim of it when a mob attacked Chufa stores damaging only the Hatsushiba product, leading Sun to pull Hatsushiba's products. Yang and Chen Minsheng, Kokubun's replacement and Yagi's right hand man, decided to try countering online sentiment in response.
Oh, she has a name. I guess this means she's sticking around.
Mucho texto in this chapter.
That's it for today. Next time, Shima and the gang try to defuse a strike.
Thank you OP welcome backEverything's all right I hope
>>291165775>>291165805that's not how you win internet arguments
>>291165987>>291166005kek, I like the cut of her jib
>>291166194You never "win" internet arguments. Eventually everyone just calls everyone faggots and that's the end of it.
>>291167571>You never "win" internet arguments.I do
>>291165722What a stance. Absolute unit.
>>291167571You can win an internet argument in the rare case you're talking to a reasonable human and both of you can intuit good faith from one another. But often you're just talking to a subhuman or a machine and there is indeed no winning, so the best response is simply posting a smug anime girl and leaving.
>>291165845>My older brother was at Tiananmen...And that poster was never heard from again.
>>291165845Okay but how Shima knows these replies are genuine and not Yang and Chen shitposting
>>291166005I hate to see food go to waste even in fiction so good for her
The internet debate segment felt a bit clumsy. It reminds me of when a TV drama in the 00s, like Law and Order or something, would do an episode about the internet and it's just kinda goofy. Though I suppose that's kinda fitting in a sense.
>>291165722kek. give her an axe, they need help in moria.

>>291191691Time for Oguri to lecture them on Senkaku Islands
>>291191822>You have to throw all the eggs
>>291191553goodbyethere I just said it
>>291191888lol >>291191914
>>291191756enter
That's all for today. Next time, Shima teachings (You) about climate damage.
>>291191884wwwwwwwwwwwww
>>291191954Half expected her to chide them for wasting some fine eggs
>>291192059thankswhat was the lesson here
>>291192167THE MORAL OF THE STORY ISYOU CAN'T TRUST THE SYSTEM
>>291192007>How can you fail to love the company you belong toShima...
>>291192296Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan :(
>>291192059Thank you for posting, OP!
>>291192059thanks op. everyone loves hatsushiba.
>>291191582neat car window moving effect
>>291191756
>>291165722she's so fucking widequite amazing, really
>>291165805mazinger z existing IS a good argument
>>291165825>tiananmen squareoh shit nigga what are you doing
>>291191756Who is this guy? And where is he from?
>>291177953It shows that she's cool as shit.
>>291192925Shima still very much has the Japanese, and probably general post-war era, attitude where the company is something of a paternalistic provider for the employees which inspires loyalty towards the company in the employees. Yagi's style of "fuck it, make sure the line goes up every quarter no matter what" is what basically destroyed that. Arguably that's also an anomaly where treating the employees well and social safety nets was kind of a necessity that needed to be done in every developed country to rebuild things after World War II and once that started to retreat in the mirror companies and the wealthy went back to their usual stuff. Which is why we've regressed back to Gilded Age robber baron shit.
It's a fun chapter, I give it a B+. The superior nipponesu discipline standing in the face of thrown eggs is great. But somehow I think a factory full of striking protestors is not going to shuffle off feeling properly chastened after one day of being told "Uh akshually we did pay reparations by investing in your country, also your government called they said we don't need to apologize (it's not in your history books but take my word for it)"
>>291195006What are they seeing?
bump for shima
>>291198738My bank account.
>>291192007>Just as when, among a great people, a riot has often arisen,>and the common crowd rages in its passions...>then, if they happen to see a man respected for his virtue and services,>they fall silent and stand with attentive ears;>he guides their spirits with his words and soothes their hearts.aeneid book 1 lines 148-156
>>291191822>and the facts are clearly recorded in japanese history textbooks???what fantasy is this?
>>291192059is this pig enticing shima now?
>>291200657who is Achilles, china? japan's waning demographics?
>>291191822better informed anons might correct me here, but ignoring if or how much the japanese apologized, the idea of them being a non-military country is having some heavy pushbacks lately no? like, their new PM announced a bigger military budget recently. I wonder what old school more liberalized boomers like hirokane think of that.
>>291191856it's kinda crazy hirohito didn't even step down after the war. or at least earlier.
>>291191982Oda?One Piece finances CCP confirmed?
>>291192059honorable display, shima.
>>291192059>Shima teachings (You) about climate damageoh boy!
>>291206256Keeping him was a necessary assurance for the Japanese populace. The place could've turned into Vietnam if the Americans hadn't played their cards right.
>>291206700there's doubt as to how much that is true and how much the americans overestimated it. some army officials sure but the populace as a whole was starving and desperate.
>>291199842kek
>>291191553Jackson 5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQYJ9MBJHe4>>291191822>and the facts are clearly recorded in Japanese history textbooksAdmiral, I...>>291192007FACTS AND LOGIC>>291192059thanks, OP. Surely, the push for sustainability will be heeded by the uncountable industrial urges of the Chinese people
>>291206220A lot of the push is because of China and I'd bet that Hirokane is probably fine with it given that he's got relationships with people in the Foreign and Defense ministries.

Cool Biz is an actual thing that's been going on for the past two decades. It was introduced by current Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Biz_campaign

>>291213915>In April 2026 "Tokyo Cool Biz" was launched, encouraging employees to wear casual clothes including shorts to work. This caused a counter reaction by women, who are complaining about "leg hair harassment". On social media the term - "sunehara" was coined, referring to the discomfort of being exposed to their colleague's leg hair.kek

>>291223248Mascot for Expo 2005 Aichi which was a real event. Bit of trivia but that event is partly why the Ghibli theme park exists as they'd built a replica of the Kusakabe house for it. Because the house already existed it was chosen to build the park in Nagoya on the site where the expo had been.
