Chapter 870 – Seizure Button
Lee Chan-wook’s arrest.
It wasn’t just young people who were affected.
“Have you seen Nakajima-san? The story of the soy sauce egg rice man.”
“Eh… I saw it. I saw it.”
“Seniors, what are you talking about now?”
Even ordinary office workers in Japan are in trouble.
No, that’s because.
‘How did I endure it for 20 years…’
It would be the same in any country.
I want to retire someday and live comfortably.
“There is a broadcasting station that is on the rise recently called Cool TV. The programs they run are becoming an issue.”
There are people who achieve it first.
How?
I endure it tenaciously.
─Japanese man saved 100 million yen over 20 years by eating soy sauce egg rice
[Small meal photo. Jpg]
Living in a 30,000 yen monthly rent
No dating or friends
Just save money until you’re 50
He said his goal is to retire and join the Fire family
└Persistence is amazing
└If you look at your bankbook, you must be happy…
└Starting from today, I will eat only soy sauce and egg rice three times a day.
└Is life fun?
Savings.
It is the most realistic and simple way to raise money.
Reduce consumption.
It may be possible if it continues for decades.
Gaining financial freedom.
“20 years?!”
“I lived as a livestock animal for 20 years.”
“I also tend to save money, but I don’t think I can go that far… But I’m glad I saved up.”
“The problem is that it is not fortunate.”
“?”
I did it.
I could see the exit.
I just thought I could play Fire.
‘Who knew prices would rise like this?’
Why?
Japan is a deflationary society.
Prices are the same whether 10 or 20 years ago.
I thought about it based on the standards at the time.
If you save this much, you will be able to live on for the rest of your life.
What have I been working hard for 〈20 years? It was truly a meaningless life. It’s miserable.〉
The situation has changed 180 degrees.
100 million yen.
It is less than half the value of 20 years ago.
Saving money was in vain.
He appears on the air and reveals his feelings.
“That kind of thing…”
“I was saving as much as the soy sauce egg rice guy, but I regret it.”
“Me too.”
It was so hard.
I have endured so much.
What I got was worthless.
It penetrates the consensus of general office workers.
It was natural that the broadcast became an issue.
‘This is all because the yen has plummeted.’
Office worker Keigo Yamashita learns something by listening to the conversations of his seniors.
You can feel it.
Money.
Collecting is not everything.
There were also cases where the value fell.
〈A man who saved 100 million yen in 20 years! I brought Fujita statue. 〉
It’s no one else’s business.
You might end up like that too.
It is natural to become interested.
‘Oh, that person…’ …’
I watch Cool TV.
The main character of the story comes out and speaks in person.
〈Are you really saving your money by eating only soy sauce egg rice for 20 years? 〉
〈 I didn’t just eat soy sauce egg rice… I also ate furikake, natto, and umeboshi.〉
〈 That’s it! 〉
〈〈hahaha! 〉〉
I lived a miserly life.
I lived by giving up on myself.
You deserve that reward.
Pop! Pop!
20 years.
It has been a waste of time.
His sincerity saw into his chicken-like tears.
〈 The thing I saved so desperately was cash. I never dreamed it would happen like this.〉
It’s a complicated story.
It is also a reality that we want to ignore.
The value of the country’s currency is falling day by day.
It makes you unable to take your eyes off.
The public also realizes the seriousness of the situation.
〈When Fujita-san first decided to save, 78 yen was equal to 1 dollar.〉
〈Yes.〉
〈 But recently it has soared to 150 yen. The dollar has become nearly twice as expensive! 〉
A detailed game of numbers.
There is no way it will touch you.
It does not permeate into rigid thinking.
If it is a personal situation, I can sympathize.
It is the realm of emotion, not reason.
‘Even if you save money, it’s all in vain.’
At least 10 years have been useless.
It may be more than that.
Inflation.
The rise in prices must be taken into account.
A man’s lost years.
〈 Chanwook-san sent a video letter to Fujita-san. 〉
〈〈えええ~!〉〉
You can give it back.
It’s like picking up spilled water.
It is possible.
A man appears on the monitor screen.
〈I felt that Fujita-san’s story was really sad. At the same time, I feel foolish.〉
Lee Chan-wook.
This is the person who has been making a fuss recently.
He said something shocking: sell the yen.
Why?
It makes you understand at once why it has to be that way.
〈If you were holding it in US stocks, at least 6 times.〉
〈〈えええ~!〉〉
You are saying that even if you had only held it at $〈, it would have doubled. Fujita-san, what do you think? 〉
I felt foolish holding the yen.
There is no such foolish thing in the world.
Pop!
Fighting!
Number.
And tears.
Even non-literate Koreans can relate to it.
Strike the final blow.
A voice of regret and self-reflection is heard from the soy sauce egg rice man.
〈If I…, If I could go back to the past, I wouldn’t live like this. Enjoy life a little more, or at least not save up in yen.〉
You must not hold yen.
Such a message is delivered.
It never ends.
Lost years.
The broadcast ends with giving back.
〈I will give it to you.〉
〈Really… ?〉
〈 Instead, make an appointment with me. At least half of them say they will buy what you want to eat and do.〉
It’s a huge amount.
It is difficult for ordinary people to even dream.
He possessed the financial power to give it.
Match! Match! Mate!
Clap! Clap clap clap!
The justification is also understandable.
These are years that should have been compensated.
“Wow… I never thought I would shed tears while watching an entertainment program.”
“It’s really nothing.”
“I’ve never seen anyone eat yakiniku so deliciously.”
Follow-up broadcasts are also popular.
The fun of life that men haven’t been able to enjoy for 20 years.
‘I’ve really been living only on soy sauce egg rice.’
Shows.
Eat yakiniku, eat sushi, and smile brightly like a person who has it all.
That scene is so shocking.
For the Japanese, frugality is a virtue.
“If I had had it in dollars or stocks in the first place… That means I would have money left over even if I lived and enjoyed it like that.”
It has no meaning.
People in other countries are enjoying everything they can.
They are the only ones becoming poor.
Just the fact that you are holding yen.
“I guess so.”
“Ha… Why do I want to save money?”
“I need to exchange dollars or something right now.”
Such a broadcast.
It was enough to shake the perception of the yen.
Have minimal interest.
If you stay quiet, you might end up like that too.
‘Lee Chan-wook didn’t ask me to sell for no reason.’
It teaches you that.
Lee Chan-wook.
Direct appearances on broadcasts are restricted.
But it is free on the Internet.
Information is also reproduced on YouTube, etc.

Japanese people.
I feel anxious.
There is actually a person selling it.
Accelerates the decline in the value of the yen.
It was the beginning of a panic cell where fear led to fear.
* * *
Japan.
It is a country where the external perspective and internal appearance are 180 degrees different.
‘It’s not the country of Galapagos for nothing.’
Japanese people live with satisfaction.
It’s because they don’t know the real situation.
It makes you realize it.
How much damage do they suffer?
“Hmm… CEO Lee Chan-wook must also be experiencing various setbacks in his company’s affairs. Shouldn’t he get out on bail as soon as possible?”
It operates the positive function of the media.
There was one prerequisite.
‘I’ll have to see it first.’
People don’t see it.
Cool TV is still not a mainstream broadcaster.
Awareness is low except among young people.
An event that will spark interest.
“There’s nothing you can’t do as long as you keep the conditions. Bail may not be cheap, but…”
“It’s okay.”
“Well, the bail depends on Lee Chan-wook as the representative… Hi?”
“It’s okay.”
I was waiting.
Japanese government.
Because what they say is roughly predictable.
‘The term ‘two-eight-years’.’
Very suitable.
Things you only see in corruption movies are coming true in the 21st century.
What if you scratch the inside?
I was confident that it would come out forcefully.
“Whether I’m guilty or not will be revealed when I go to trial. I don’t want to spend money on it.”
It spreads into a nationwide incident.
All Japanese people are interested.
Special broadcast.
It is bound to attract attention.
We prepared it in large quantities.
“For people like CEO Lee Chan-wook, isn’t time money? Think again…”
“It’s okay. Thank you for your concern.”
It is causing a stir.
It stimulates the anxious psychology of Japanese people.
There is no use trying to stop it now.
That it only causes the opposite effect.
“I’ll leave my contact information here. If you tell the guard… He’ll be able to call you right away. If you change your mind, please call me at any time.”
You will realize it.
The minister who visited the detention center looks troubled.
‘Do you know why martyrs are scary?’
Even in dictatorial countries, if possible, they are spared.
I can’t handle it if I kill him.
It becomes a catalyst.
And the means to prevent it disappear.
“I don’t think that will happen, so I won’t accept it.”
“Once you have it…”
“I am very proud.”
Why?
Dead men don’t speak.
Those who survive make their own guesses.
All kinds of interpretations abound.
It is inflated by supporters.
With great madness.
‘Like the current situation.’
It’s not the end just because I covered my mouth.
Public anxiety has already been stoked.
The more you block it, the bigger it burns.
Even the Japanese government cannot cover it.
There is only one way to stop it.
The only thing that happens is that the martyr comes back alive.
