[It’s Autumn Now, Spring Will Surely Come]
Saying something heart-piercing in broad daylight:
​Just went across the street to buy bone-soup ingredients, only to find that the shop owner at the roadside has changed again. They’re still smashing walls to renovate. In the past few years, I’ve seen this countless times here!
​That heart-piercing line is:
→[Many owners think they’re “entrepreneuring” and being a boss, but actually they’re wasting social resources and harming people!]←
Right now, many owners rent a storefront or a factory. In the beginning, they renovate like crazy—powerful for a few months. Then after a year or two, they switch to a new owner. The renovated spaces get demolished and renovated again. If that isn’t a waste of social resources, then what is it for?!
​After the renovation, they hire a new batch of workers. The workers follow the boss for a few months; if they’re lucky, it lasts one to two years. Then the boss goes bankrupt, and social security contributions stop… These people then become unemployed again and have to look for work from scratch. Isn’t that harming people?!
[Of course, the heart-piercing words I’m saying are meant for a specific situation.]
In today’s era of “involution,” be careful when starting a business. And don’t casually become a boss just to start a business— the risks of entrepreneurship are far higher than playing with contracts!
​At the same time, I want to salute those bosses who can still pay wages, who are still struggling to support their operations and focus on their core business:
Salute!
​Well done!
​Hang in there!
​Get through the cycle!
Even though it’s autumn now,
Spring will surely come!
