I wonder if I, who live between the virtual world and the real world, can see the light! ? (1)

This story is fiction.


Let's start by introducing myself. After graduating from university, I got a job at the company where I had worked part-time during my university days. It was a so-called semi-governmental, semi-private company, and their duties included creating reports on economic activities for official business at the request of their superiors. This is a thing of the past now, but the US government was left with no solution to the slump in land prices in the US due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. So, although I was a second-rate university student, my grades were at the top of my class, so they decided to go with me. Looking back, at the time I was busy with my studies and training, and I didn't even have a girlfriend, but my first step was a consulting question in a university lecture about whether it was the automobile industry or the Indian economy. So, to summarize, I proposed the following challenge: Toyota Motor Corporation was on the high-end route, and Toyota cars were sold at prices that were difficult for Indian citizens to afford, so Tata Motors, a regional company that was emerging at the time and competed with simple functions and low prices, was selected. I argued that if we consciously marketed Toyota's high-quality, low-priced automobiles, they would sell well. From there, things got strange, and I fell into the illusion that I was being watched by the government. I was studying hard and had very few friends, so I ended up getting addicted to online bulletin boards. My journey to becoming a core member of an organization or group starts with becoming friends with unpopular, low-key people. At the time, with online bulletin boards, the government could have monitored my online movements if the bulletin board operating site had disclosed my IP address. As I started from the corner and worked my way towards the center, my statements became more extreme. It seems that the government probably mistook me for a Chinese spy or something, and decided to continue monitoring me. How did I know I was being watched? It all started when I spoke to the TV. There may be some people who have a habit of saying things to themselves while watching TV, but I was no exception to this, and I turned to the TV and said, ``Areya koreya.'' At first I was skeptical, but TV personalities started responding to my comments. It was still the 2000s. If I had been wiretapped, I would have had to directly communicate my story to the TV cast, which I was sure would be unrealistic. From this moment on, I have been living in a limbo where I don't know whether it is reality or delusion. At first, I thought it was just my imagination. However, the timing was too good to think it was just my imagination. Here, we return to the story of the Lehman Shock. At the time, I was living with my family at home. Even though I feel lonely, my family is with me. On top of that, I continued to have a conversation with the TV. Land prices in the United States plummeted due to the Lehman Shock, and no American economist has an answer to that question. That's when I decided on Beginner's Luck. At that time, I was interested in rich people. I had just read the famous book ``Rich Dad, Poor Dad'' and thought about real estate. What was the Lehman Shock in the first place? The cause was that poor people were borrowing money at extremely high interest rates to own new homes, and speculators divided up the loans and bought them. In other words, the poor people were unable to repay their debts because the interest rates were so high that they were stuck in debt. As a result, large amounts of land and houses were sold in an attempt to repay the loans by selling the houses they owned, causing real estate prices to plummet. Unexpectedly, one year after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, I was approached and asked if I would be willing to come up with a solution. Therefore, I applied the idea from ``Rich Dad, Poor Dad'' and commented that land and houses are assets and should be rented out. If they could repay the loan with the income from the land or house, they might be able to repay the loan while still owning their property. Or, I answered, wealthy people could buy real estate sold by poor people and rent it out. At that time, a new type of real estate investment was born that caused a stir in society for the next several years. That's what the experts said. Better yet, they could borrow money by using the real estate they owned as collateral from a bank and then repay the loan with rental income. I got my first beginner's luck here. In an instant, he solved a problem that the most intelligent American economists had been unable to solve. My virtual world life begins from there. The Japanese government will tell me later, but it seems that I was under surveillance for a year before I was supposed to solve this problem, and I was left alone without complaining. Even if you are a new employee, no matter how good your results are later on, it doesn't mean you're amazing in your first year. There are probably many working adults who receive some hints and make great strides, even if they receive only rock-bottom evaluations in the first year. For example, I sometimes read books about people who had an ace in the sales department in the same department, and if they imitated what they saw, they would get top grades. The first year is a trial period, so you can hit rock bottom there and make a leap forward by adding new ideas in the second year. I'm a visual person, so the first thing I do is read all the materials provided at the company. This is because the materials kept there are always related to the company's work and are some of the most important materials. Well, what happened to me after that? If the first stage was the United States, which was hit by the Lehman Shock, the next stage was Europe, which was suffering from the Greek crisis. I now realize that Europe has come a long way. Just as I divide my life into the first, second, third, and fourth generations, the first generation spanned a little over two years from mid-2009 to the end of 2011. I worked hard during that time. I spent my days talking through the TV, and I was able to interact with a variety of people. I sleep 3 hours and work 16 hours a day, seven days a week. At first, I too was a mere bastard in the virtual world, a world that could be both reality and delusion. The first two years were two years in which I didn't leave any records, and I regret that if I had left any records, some of them would have survived. In this early period, yes. Also includes March 11, 2011. The two years of my first year there were filled with events such as the Lehman shock, the European debt crisis, and the Great East Japan Earthquake. Let's talk about the European debt crisis another day. See you soon.
