Chapter 379 Three short stories on the Internet (Part 2)
"At 3:00 p.m. this afternoon, Hide Uemura has filed for bankruptcy protection because the company's securities fell more than expected, and reported by Nissan TV."
"The news sent back by the reporter from the front line, Yamada Prefecture 37-year-old resident Yamazaki Kazui committed suicide in the bathroom after receiving the eviction order because of foreclosure of the house. This is the fifth case of suicide due to a financial storm in Yamada Prefecture."
...
The financial tsunami shrouded the entire Asia, and the island countries were greatly affected. In this short period of three or four days, many companies have gone bankrupt, and more people have committed suicide due to this storm, and many of them are rich and company executives.
Cairo is a well-known brand of mobile phones in the island country. It has great influence in the whole of Asia. Cairo's sales are among the top ten among mobile phone companies. However, even such a brilliant company has not escaped the storm of the entire Asian country. The company's performance has reached a low point, which means that this month it lost more than 17 billion yen, which is more than 900 million yuan.
The loss of more than 900 million yuan is only strong in Cairo, and other companies would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Hey, have you heard that the company wants to lay off employees?" A tall and thin employee looked bleak.
"What layoffs?" The employee with the eyes was a little panicked. "We usually have staff in our classroom, so the company probably won't lay off employees at this time."
The tall and thin employee said, "Who said no, the company's turnover fell by more than 10 billion yen this month. I heard that the company has more than 2,000 people, and at least one-third will be cut."
"What's impossible" the eye staff was shocked.
"How is it impossible? In the financial crisis, companies of all sizes are laying off employees, so it's not surprising that our company lays off employees."
Now the company is in a panic and silence, the executives seem to be in a hurry, while the employees are absent-minded and are not easy to find, let alone under such financial crisis.
Therefore, almost everyone is worried about what to do if they are laid off, especially those who have family burdens, which is even more aware of their jealousy. Therefore, the employees' mentality is not just the employees of Cairo companies, but almost all companies in the island country have this situation.
"After getting off work, gather the entire company's people downstairs." The president of Nishimura Ieyasu Cairo Company issued such an order to the secretary's office.
Xiaochun in the secretary's office is an authentic Chinese. Although she was surprised, she did not ask any more questions to execute immediately. What the secretary should do is to help and execute the orders of the superiors, rather than to doubt the orders of the superiors.
In fact, there are often companies in China that organize employees to run morning jogging. What’s even more outrageous is that employees stand straight at the door of the store and shout some stupid slogans. In the end, they call it exercise courage. Xiaochun knows these. But Cairo is not a small company. There are more than 2,000 people in the entire building. It is naturally impossible to dare to have such boring things together.
Then Xiaochun remembered a rumor about a company that it was going to lay off employees. "Mr. Nishimura would not announce the layoff plan in front of everyone." Thinking of this, Xiaochun's face changed drastically. The job in the secretary's office still had a considerable income. It was already very good for Xiaochun, a Chinese student, to find such a job in an island country, so naturally he was worried about losing his job and speeding up his pace to complete the things explained by the president more quickly.
Nishimura Ieyasu can be said to be a very powerful role. Since he took over the position of president of Cairo Company, the company's turnover has continued to rise, and its performance has improved year by year. However, in the second half of this year, it will suddenly encounter a financial crisis, which has led to a low sales trough of the company. This is not his fault, but it is definitely a matter of worrying.
The company has not laid off employees yet. If it is laid off, it is still great. Therefore, the most important thing is to appease the current panic atmosphere of the company. Although this is the case, Nishimura Ieyasu has never thought of a suitable way to appease it. Until yesterday he came home from get off work and thought of a way, and this matter has to start from yesterday-
Nishimura Ieyasu returned home and turned on the computer to watch the news. The headlines of these news were filled with the company's bankruptcy again, and someone committed suicide again. These news made Nishimura Ieyasu, who was already in a very heavy mood, even heavier. His feet were particularly heavy on the wooden floor, as if he was wearing a pair of iron shoes.
"The best judge?" Suddenly, Nishimura Ieyasu saw such a news, which seemed even more special in the reports of dense financial storms.
I clicked in and looked at it and found that the best judge was actually talking about Su Shichen.
Ieyasu Nishimura knew about this character. He also bought a set of "Shelf's Detectives" for his daughter. He didn't have time to read it. Although Su Shichen is a Chinese, he is a famous reasoning expert. But what does this have to do with the judges?
After reading this report, Ieyasu Nishimura probably understood that it was a Chinese who participated in the world-renowned Morest short story competition, but he was eliminated without passing the re-election. Originally, this matter was no big deal, and there was no need to write a book in a big way. However, Su Shichen, who served as a judge in this session, sent this Chinese person a short story with the same model essay.
In comparison, Su Shichen wrote much better, and the islander who participated in the competition also said that he explained a lot of truths because of this short story.
In short, it was praised to the sky.
"'The short story that islanders must read?'Haha" Nishimura Ieyasu couldn't help laughing when he saw this comment. Why is it obvious to laugh? Su Shichen is a short story written by Chinese people. Since it is called a must-read for islanders, is there anything more funny than this?
This is like "Sang Luan Tie" was not written by calligraphers from the island country. How can it be called the national treasure of the island country?
"Let's take a look at what is the must-read short story for this islander,... "A Bowl of Soup Soup"? What a strange name." Soup soup is the staple food of Kanto, the island country, divided into cold noodles and hot noodles, while Soup Soup Soup is hot noodles. Although Nishimura Ieyasu is the president of Cairo Company, he naturally has eaten it and is quite familiar.
It is indeed quite strange to use this question. Browsing with your eyes gradually changed from browsing to reading, becoming more and more serious.
This short story can be said to be too simple and simple. It is extremely plain. To put it simply, the whole story is just something that happened when a family of three eats in the noodle restaurant. The whole story has never left this noodle restaurant, but this simplicity and dullness give Nishimura Ieyasu a shock that is inexplicable. The most important thing is that this shock is not that very exciting and exciting shock, but a shock in peace.
Right means being moved, it is the kind of simple language that contains the human power that touches the soul.
"Ah...a bowl of soba noodles...is it OK?"
“…This…a bowl of soba noodles with clear soup…is it OK?”
“…ah… two bowls of soba noodles with clear soup…is it OK?”
"Ah... three bowls of clear soup soba noodles, is it OK?"
The protagonist of this short story can be said to be the couple in this noodle shop, or the mother. After reading "A Bowl of Soup Noodles in Clear Soup", the most influential thing about Nishimura Ieyasu was the mother's four times in the noodle shop.
There are many ellipses, and generally speaking, there are many ellipses that make up the number of words, but in "A Bowl of Soup Soup", these ellipses seem extremely important.
There is a wordless novel called ".", which has only forty punctuation marks in the whole text. It is not ruled out that the author may be suspected of hype. But from another perspective, punctuation is a very important part of the novel. These ellipses of "A Bowl of Clear Soup Buckwheat Noodles" completely represent the hesitation of the mother in her tone.
Why hesitate?
Because this is in the big day, and the mother still has two children, she only ordered a bowl of noodles, sometimes it really takes a kind of courage.
[As soon as the hot and fragrant soba noodles were served, the mother and son immediately gathered around the bowl of noodles and ate them with their heads.
"It's so delicious!" said the brother.
"Mom, eat too!" My brother picked up a chopstick noodles and sent them to his mother's mouth...]
But even in such a poor situation, the family of three is very satisfied. This is a kind of joy in suffering and a very small satisfaction.
A bowl of soba noodles with clear soup supported a family of three for 14 years of hard work, which is the biggest touch of the whole article.
After reading it, Nishimura Ieyasu could not calm down for a long time. He was silent for a long time before speaking, "This is indeed a novel that the people should read at this time. Su Jun is really a good judge and a good author."
Nishimura Ieyasu completely changed his previous thoughts...
——
"Mr. Nishimura is ready." Xiaotzu said.
"Well" Nishimura Ieyasu came to his senses. He was moved by the hard work of the family of three in "A Bowl of Soup Soup", so he wanted to read this novel in public.
Yes, my uncle first and second place is in front of more than 2,000 employees.
The staff, section chief, director, etc. all gathered. Although the square in front of the Cairo company building was very wide, it still seemed a little crowded at this time. In the face of this sudden gathering, such an order that had not been before, I was even more nervous.
"Everyone also knows that the Asian financial crisis has been hit hard by my country. Every day, companies declare bankruptcy and bankruptcy. There are many rumors coming in. Today, it is for this matter." Nishimura Ieyasu's words spread to the ears of more than 2,000 employees through their words.
"Before this, I will share a short story with you." Nishimura Ieyasu had printed the content of "A Bowl of Soup Noodles" on A4 paper in advance. "The author of this article is Su Shichen Su Jun, the father of Sherlock Holmes, and I believe you should be familiar with it."
Nishimura Ieyasu's words made the staff talk a lot. Many people know about Su Shichen's famous inference master. The key question is why they read Su Shichen's articles at this time.
Read a mystery novel to let them guess the murderer?
Xiaochun was puzzled. Although she was also a reader and fan of Su Shichen, when was Guan Su Shichen at this time?
Nishimura Ieyasu has already started "The title is "A Bowl of Clear Soup Buckwheat Noodles". For the noodle restaurant, the busiest time is considered a big deal. This day at the Beihaiting Noodle Restaurant has been very busy since a long time..." (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
