Chapter 457 Not Monolithic

More and more people in the izakaya began to talk about the reorganization of Wakayama City's steel industry.In terms of stance, they are divided into three factions.

One faction expressed clear support.This is mainly due to the fact that most of the young people in the steel industry are young people. They also know that the local steel industry has long been in decline.

If a complete change does not occur, sooner or later it will be over.They have a huge advantage in age, so they are not afraid of the uncertainty caused by reorganization.

Their idea is as simple as it sounds. Even a new steel plant needs people.If you really can't survive anymore, then go out to work.This is nothing more than going to Osaka, which is closer, and Tokyo, which is further away.

One group expresses clear opposition.Most of these are middle-aged and elderly people in the steel industry.Not only do they have no advantage in age, but they also have obvious disadvantages in physical strength.

Once unemployed, if you want to find a job, you will not be able to compete with young people.Any factory, especially heavy industries like steel plants, tend to recruit young people, but what about those who actively tend to recruit middle-aged and elderly people?
Not only that, they generally have their own families here in Wakayama City.Even though he lives alone, he was once married and had children.They still have to pay more or less alimony and alimony.

It is definitely the next best thing for them to pack up their bags, leave their hometown, and venture out alone. After all, they are no longer young.Even if you go out to work, you may not be able to make any money.

It’s not like they don’t know that they need education or no education, they need skills or they don’t have skills, and in the end they can’t just do simple manual labor.

This is not official yet, just a temporary job.This means that there is no guarantee. If you say you don’t want it, you just don’t want it.Therefore, they would rather allow the factory to survive than actively accept changes.

One more day of delay would be relatively better for them.At the very least, the day of official personal retirement is getting closer.In addition, the compensation in the future will also be more.

One group is the ambiguous centrist.Their main target group has little to do with age, but has something to do with occupation.Although they are not directly engaged in the steel industry, they are also indirectly related to the steel industry.

The owner of this izakaya and the staff belong to this group.If the pillar industry of Wakayama City ceases to exist, their business will inevitably plummet.

By then, closing will become an inevitable trend.On the contrary, as long as the expenditure industry in Wakayama City still exists, their business will not be bad.

I can’t say how good it will get, but there is definitely a possibility of maintaining it.These three factions stand from the perspective of their own interests, resulting in different attitudes and positions towards the same matter.

On this night, Kudo Mizuki and Kudo Shuichi visited several izakayas.The two heard the locals talking about this matter.

They walked out of an izakaya, not planning to go to the next one, but walked side by side on the way back to the Karuizawa Hotel.

Kudo Shuichi said with emotion: "The situation is pretty much what you expected, sister! It seems that everyone is not monolithic!"

Kudo Mizuki was not complacent and said: "Human nature dictates. Who is the species that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages?"

Kudo Hide has always said: "The early targeted public opinion propaganda to the people of Wakayama City has achieved remarkable results. If it were not for this, we would not have achieved such a good effect."

Kudo Mizuki said eloquently: "We are all young people, so we naturally understand better how young people want to change. In addition, they are eager to make more money in their hearts. Only with money can they Buy everything you want, live a better quality of life, and make life more interesting.

However, the current socio-economic environment is not friendly to Japanese young people.Especially for ordinary young workers.

As long as we can provide them with more stable jobs, better income, a good working environment, etc., we will not be afraid of them not working hard.

We need to make them understand the simplest truth: If you don't do it yourself, there will be people lining up behind you who want to come in and do it.What's more, as long as you do a good job, you can switch from a temporary job to a regular job.

This means that in the future, he can be promoted from an ordinary formal member to a team leader, workshop director, or even a higher position.

For these people, there is a bottom-up passage and ladder.This is also one of the principles that Dad has always pursued throughout the Karuizawa Group, so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve bottom-up success. "

While Kudo Shuichi expressed his agreement, he also expressed his own concerns: "Although young people here are generally supportive, middle-aged and elderly people are mostly opposed.

Once the latter are united, they are a force that cannot be ignored.This will also be a hindrance to our reform of the steel industry here. "

Mitsuki Kudo said thoughtfully: "This problem is indeed a bit tricky. When it comes to recruiting new employees, the new steel plant will most likely not recruit middle-aged and elderly people.

On the one hand, they are far less accepting of new things than young people, and they are slow to learn new things, and may even feel repulsive in their hearts. On the other hand, their physical strength, energy, etc. are showing a downward trend.

Especially if there is any problem with attention and concentration, it is difficult to guarantee that work-related injuries will not occur.This is not a good thing for us as employers.

Of course, this excludes people with excellent skills.However, most people who are not employed by the new steel plants will have to make other arrangements.There are not that many jobs suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, such as security guards.

Driving and related to logistics and transportation are fine.It is still necessary to establish some subsidiary enterprises supporting the new steel plant.Otherwise, there won’t be room for so many people.What's more, these people are also one of the sources of votes for you to enter politics in the future. "

Kudo Shuichi asked pointedly: "Sister, if we follow your idea, it will increase the cost of restructuring. Dad, will you agree?"

Kudo Mizuki said seriously: "Dad, I will be responsible for explaining and explaining, so you don't have to worry about it. Even if dad is held accountable in the future, I will shoulder the responsibility."

What you have to do now is to act as a pro-people persona for your future political career, especially when it comes to treating the middle-aged and elderly people.

What they are most concerned about is their future work.Therefore, your goal is to put more effort into this aspect to win their favor and support.

Although you may not be able to become the mayor of Wakayama City for a while, there will be no problem if you are elected as the next city council member. "
