The "ubiquitous" base station construction department of Japan's largest communication service operator is installing a large terahertz base station imported from Shenguang Instruments.
This installation is not difficult, because the terahertz base station of Shenguang Instruments is fool-proof. Just find a suitable location, connect the wires and you can use it.
"Morita-kun, give me the pliers." A middle-aged man wearing a blue-gray electrician's uniform installed a terahertz base station on the roof of the building.
The young man below, Ichiro Morita, quickly handed over the vise: "Here, Fujiwara-senpai."
The middle-aged Fujiwara was busy meticulously, asking Ichiro Morita to fetch tools or spare parts from time to time.
In the Northern Hemisphere in October, there is no crisp autumn air, but scorching sun.
Phew! After taking a breath, Fujiwara walked down the ladder, sat on the floor aside, and looked at the tall buildings in Tokyo.
"Senior, drink water."
"Thank you!" Fujiwara took the mineral water and drank the water while wiping his sweat.
A breeze blew by, and they were busy installing base stations on the roof of a 50-story building.
"Senior, didn't you say before that the use of Chinese equipment is prohibited?" Ichiro Morita asked while testing the base station through the equipment.
Fujiwara shook his head mockingly: "Don't you know how huge the profits are?"
"Isn't it just that the Internet speed is faster?" Ichiro Morita replied in confusion.
Fujiwara shook his head: "So you are too young. Only terahertz communication can support virtual networks. Do you know the scale of China's Internet economy this year?"
"Um...I really don't know."
Fujiwara explained: "Last year, the economic scale of China's Internet was 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, and it reached 2.8 trillion U.S. dollars in the first three quarters of this year. Now you know it."
"Nani's US$2.8 trillion" Ichiro Morita was frightened.
"This does not include their overseas Internet and communications revenue. If added together, the scale of China's Internet economy alone is equivalent to 80% of Japan's overall."
Ichiro Morita was stunned when he heard this.
The mature Fujiwara looked at the prosperous Tokyo, but there was nothing happy in his heart, because all the prosperity had nothing to do with him.
There are many young people like Morita in China. They are like decaying zombies, repeating a monotonous life every day and being indifferent to changes outside.
Fujiwara's generation still had some fighting spirit, but by the time the new generation came after the millennium, they were almost filled with social animals, abandoned houses, and transvestites.
Silently, he took out a captain's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and puffed out the smoke gently.
"Senior, debugging has been completed and there are no problems."
"Okay, take a rest."
The two of them were sitting on the floor. The clouds in the sky were golden and the setting sun made the ground slightly hot.
After smoking a cigarette, Fujiwara and Ichiro Morita packed up their tool bags and ladders, and then quickly left the roof of the building.
…
Shibuya District is an area where young Japanese people gather. Even though the sun sets, the nightlife here has just begun.
A newly established virtual Internet cafe was crowded with young people queuing at the door.
Ichiro Morita, who had just gotten off work, was also among the crowd. Beside him was his girlfriend Kotoko Takahashi, and they were queuing up.
"Kotoko, why don't you sign a contract with Shogakukan? Haven't you always wanted to be a cartoonist?" Ichiro Morita asked, and then took a sip of watermelon juice.
Takahashi Kotoko replied with excitement: "I signed a contract with a company in China, and the comics and animation will be serialized simultaneously."
"Um...he can't be a liar," Ichiro Morita said worriedly.
"Why is it that they are a big company? Many of my friends have signed contracts with their company."
"What's the name of the company?"
"Dream Company."
"Dream Company" Ichiro Morita opened the search engine and found out about this Chinese company after searching.
Hey, they are the same group as Shenguang Instruments! Ichiro Morita didn't care about these things at first, but out of curiosity, he browsed the introduction of Thinking Society.
"Amazing……"
"What's so great?" Takahashi Kotoko asked in surprise.
Ichiro Morita said in surprise: "This dream company is a virtual world developer, and its parent company is even more powerful."
"I've known it for a long time. You play games all day long and don't know about this kind of thing." Takahashi Kotoko complained.
Ichiro Morita scratched his head in embarrassment.
Soon there were two people in line, and after opening a double private room, the two entered the virtual world for the first time.
In the Nanko Dream World, Japan has a special area, and their area is called Sakurajima.
After Takahashi Kotoko and Morita Ichiro landed in Nanko Dream World, they directly entered Sakura Castle, the main city of Sakurajima.
"It's so real, just like the real world." Ichiro Morita said as he gently caught a piece of fallen cherry blossoms. The touch and smell didn't feel out of place at all.
For the first time, he felt that China's technology had become so powerful. This was something he could not believe before.
Like a flower and like a bird, Takahashi Kotoko trotted happily along the streets filled with fallen leaves.
In fact, foreigners who enter Nanke Dreamland for the first time are shocked by the sense of reality and fantasy.
Through the promotion of virtual networks, China is rapidly expanding its influence.
Although it has its own exclusive Sakurajima area just like Japan, the highest authority of Sakurajima lies with the Citizen Trust.
Everything in Sakurajima is transparent to the Citizen Trust, and Japanese officials do not have the highest authority.
Equivalent to the Internet, Japan, South Korea, and Siam have become de facto satellite countries invisibly.
But they can't refuse the virtual network. After all, Japan's automobiles, electrical appliances, precision instruments, semiconductors, and even the communications and entertainment industries all need to rely on the support of China.
If you don’t accept it, the economy is in rapid decline again. If there is another sharp negative growth this year, there will be internal problems, especially the intensifying riots in the United States, which will directly sound the alarm for Japan.
Although I know this is a candy with chronic poison, if it is handled properly, at least it will not be ruined.
Therefore, Japan has acquiesced in China's dominance of the Internet and simply pretended not to have seen it.
With the entry of a large number of Chinese companies, Japan finally suppressed 17 consecutive months of negative growth and raised its economic growth rate to 1.2% in September.
Chinese companies have entered Japan in large numbers through mergers or cooperation.
In terms of Internet + virtual + entertainment, it has swallowed up 76% of Japan's comics and animation market, 94% of the novel market, 31% of the social network, 45% of the game market, and 24% of the movie and TV series market.
Although so many markets have been annexed, virtual worlds and Chinese companies have entered on a large scale, which has also brought a large number of jobs and expanded the market size.
For the Japanese mainland, this is an obvious win-win result. Of course, China's win-win is actually a win twice.
Ichiro Morita and Kotoko Takahashi were wandering around Sakura City. He was not only shocked by the reality of the virtual world, but also attracted by the opportunities of the virtual world.
He even saw that his girlfriend’s comics and animations became the eighth and seventeenth best-sellers in China in September.
In a market with a population of more than one billion, Takahashi Kotoko can earn a lot of money in a month.
In addition, Ichiro Morita also discovered that there are many professional associations operating in Sakura City. They are absorbing high-quality talents from Japan and allowing these people to work in China through the arrangements of the associations.
This is a wild and hot land, and countless opportunities are waiting for them.
