(First of all, it's important that I never write tragedies or things that make one's stomach ache.）
(The reason why I wrote this chapter is actually to introduce the big background. Actually, it's similar to the current situation in Japan, but it's just an exaggeration…)
(Looking at the protagonist's rebirth, it's too abnormal. In fact, this is the biggest restriction on him. The higher you get, the more you'll focus on benefits. You won't be able to do whatever you want. The protagonist seems to have obtained something unimaginable, but in fact, he has lost many choices, such as marriage…)
(Of course, rich people can marry one and raise countless of them behind their backs. However, even if a strong modern girl really loves someone, she won't easily become someone's lover. So, the path of a harem is not easy to walk, hahaha!)）
(I really want to write something that makes my stomach ache. Of course, it's just a thought.)）
What you get, you have to give. This was an unchanging truth. No one could just take without giving, whether they were born in ordinary poor farmers or in the big corporations that controlled the lifeline of the national economy.
However, humans were born unequal. Before the world was truly unified, everyone's social status at birth was also different. Everyone had to pay, but how much they paid was different.
The Jingu Conglomerate was one of the six largest consortiums in Japan. It had a history of more than 400 years and was a true noble with a long history.
400 years ago, the Jingu family naturally did not have the economic and political influence of the modern era. At that time, the Jingu family was just a small shop. One of their ancestors learned the most advanced copper ore smelting at that time. At that time, the overall smelting technology in Japan was low. It was indeed a way to make a fortune.
At that time, Japan was extremely backward in both economy and politics. Although the emperor had nominal rule, the actual ruler was the shogunate.
Because many of Japan's cultures were learned from China, the social status of merchants in that era was low. Although the Jingu family obtained a lot of wealth through the most advanced smelting technology and the copper mines stored in Japan, they were only merchants and had no right to intervene in Japanese politics.
However, dynasties would change and rulers would change. However, the capitalists who held huge amounts of capital were actually the true rulers of the era. No matter how they experienced the wind and rain, as long as they clung to the thighs of the rulers and could bring benefits to the rulers, they would definitely be able to survive.
Therefore, there were many shogunate generals and many families that ruled Japan. However, in history, those families had all perished, while the Jingu clan, which was only a merchant, had been passed down for 400 years.
It was not until the European powers opened the door to this country that Japan was impacted by the Western capitalist industrial civilization. The Emperor at that time established a new government, carried out the Meiji Restoration, and began to fully westernize. The Jingu family took advantage of this wind and finally got rid of mines. They began to establish banks, set up machinery manufacturing factories, produce fertilizers, set up power plants, and so on. At that time, the social atmosphere and the abundance of funds continued to develop and grow. Finally, it rose to become a modern, large-scale, multi-national enterprise group. Together with other financial groups, it dominated Japan's electrical, banking, and finance, petrification, pharmaceutical, insurance, transportation, heavy industry, light industry, construction, and other industries.
At that time, the overall strength of the Jingu Financial Group was at the bottom of the four major financial groups in Japan at that time. However, in order to alleviate the pressure of the economic crisis and the beginning of the Second World War, these big financial groups supported the war. They used bank financial loans to the government for military expansion, heavy industry, and the production of civilian cars during normal times. During the war, they could suddenly produce tanks and planes. Thus, they began to exploit the benefits brought by the war.
Fortunately, this world was different from the original world. Japan did not have the strength to invade China. Otherwise, Shino Miyagi, who had been reborn in Japan, would probably feel guilty.
However, just like the original world, during the Second World War, the real ruler of Japan was not the Japanese government at that time, but the emperor. With the fall of the shogunate, the Meiji Emperor began the Meiji Restoration. With the support of the big tycoons, the emperor had regained actual ruling power. The reason why the emperor's family was not treated as war criminals after the end of the Second World War was completely because of the Americans.
The Japan of this world had not changed. Although it did not invade China, it had invaded the Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asian countries. It even fought with the United States in the Pacific Ocean. After the defeat, in order to curb the increasingly powerful China, the United States supported Japan's economic development.
After the defeat, the four major Japanese financial groups were forcibly disbanded by the United States. Although the Emperor's family was not punished, they had lost their actual ruling rights. With the prosperity of the Red Dynasty after the war, the United States began to relax restrictions on Japan and help Japan develop its economy. The four major financial groups began to rise again. Since the Shrine Financial Group was the weakest financial group before the war, it suffered the least losses. Instead, it was the one that rose the fastest.
Just like all the major corporations, the Shrine Conglomerate was actually composed of many capitals before the Second World War. The core of the group was mainly in the financial and banking industries, which constituted the highest authority of the corporation, the "management committee." The Shrine family was only one of the most important components of this corporation, but it was not decisive.
However, at that time, the head of the Jingu family, who was now the grandfather of the deceased Jingu Shino, was indeed a business genius. Taking advantage of the Great Recession of Japan's economy after the Second World War, he used various black and white means in the process of the revival of the Jingu family. In addition to the good relationship with the actual ruler of Japan at that time, the US military, he slowly invaded the assets of other members and began to expand rapidly with monopoly capital. The rapid economic development of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. This financial group also played a vital role, but the most important thing was that the deceased old man used various powerful methods to obtain more than 80% of the shares of the entire financial group. It could be said that he had become a true dictator.
In the post-war economy, the four major financial groups had developed into six major financial groups. The last financial group had also become the top financial group. What made other financial groups envious was that this financial group was completely controlled by one person. Although it was not as influential as the Red Shield family Rothschild in the past, the influence of the Jingu family on the Japanese economy was too important.
This was also the reason why Shino Miyagi's fiancée was a princess of the Japanese royal family. After World War II, the Emperor's family had lost their actual ruling power. They urgently needed the support of a large financial group. The family that controlled a financial group was naturally the best candidate for them. Therefore, the current Emperor treated his favorite daughter as a political sacrifice.
As the Emperor's family that had ruled Japan for more than 2,000 years, they had great influence in the hearts of the Japanese people. The Jingu Conglomerate also needed this influence. Under the joint efforts of the two, there was this political marriage.
This was what Shino Miyagi could get in the future. He had a lot of influence in a country and a huge amount of hidden wealth that would not be discovered.
Was Bill Gates really the richest man in the world? He might have a lot of personal wealth, but compared to the big tycoons and big capitalists that had integrated the entire capitalist world, he was really far from it.
