Chapter 263 Philippines
In the evening, as soon as Masao Ishihara opened the door, he stood at the entrance of his home and took off his leather shoes and changed into slippers one by one, he deliberately applied his red lips, put on light makeup, and sativa Ishihara, wearing a traditional Japanese yukata, came to him in small steps.
She didn't hesitate to greet her with a Japanese-style kneeling on her knees, and learned a very gentle tone that Yamato Satsuko should have, and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Welcome home."
"What are you trying to get today? You didn't do that." Masao Ishihara knew that something must be wrong when he looked at her well-behaved and obedient look.
The young and traditional Japanese women who have to kneel down to welcome their husbands home from get off work are probably already extinct in today's society.
If there is still, it either belongs to the living habits that my grandmother would still have, or it is the performance in film and television dramas.
He was not satisfied with Saki Ishihara who had just turned sixteen and had makeup tonight.
Those girls from Tokyo's 23rd District, let alone 16 years old, many of them have their own full set of cosmetics and makeup bags at the age of 12.
At the same time, he also knew that mainland China in 1998 was still more conservative. If a 16-year-old girl dressed and dressed up like Saki Ishihara, she would definitely be regarded as a bad girl.
Saki Ishihara raised his right hand, gently strapped his hair back, and smiled and said, "Xiao Zuo Yiqing. From today on, we will be officially married."
"I'll hand over the marriage to the headquarters so soon?" Masao Ishihara changed his two slippers on his feet and said.
"It's better to get early than late, so as not to change your mind. Saki Ishihara smiled and said nothing.
Masao Ishihara moved the steps under his feet, passed the side beside her, and walked inside. After he still got home habitually, he sat on the sofa in the living room.
Then, Saki Ishihara, who stood up, hurriedly followed in three steps in two steps. She also habitually poured him a cup of lemonade and then gave it to him.
Masao Ishihara did not see Aunt Ryoko here, so he knew that the other party had returned to the bedroom and did not want to be the light bulb between them tonight.
After all, this day is a monumental day for myself and Saki Ishihara. They are legal couples protected by Japanese laws.
Saki Ishihara said: "It was reported in the evening that not only Koreans lined up to donate gold in Korea, but Koreans in Japan also lined up to donate gold."
Masao Ishihara drank the lemonade in the glass and said casually: "Don't you go donate some?"
Saki Ishihara blurted out and said, "I'm not a Korean. Besides, brother, you have told me a long time ago that it is a performance to show the people of all countries around the world how Koreans have been working on their teams."
"Korea, its full name is the Republic of Korea. It once set a goal to regard the Philippines as a catching up." Masao Ishihara said bluntly.
This was the first time that Saki Ishihara heard about such a thing and said in surprise: "No way?"
"The real thing. Judging from the current economic situation, the Philippines is really not very good. However, before the Southeast Asian financial crisis broke out in 1997 and evolved into the current Asian financial crisis, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand were collectively known as the Four Asian Tigers during the 1980s and 1990s.
This corresponds to the four Asian tigers, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong, which had faster economic growth during the same period. Earlier, during this period in the 1960s and 1970s, the economic community was generally optimistic about the Philippines, believing that it would be the first among Southeast Asian countries to rise up and play the role of an economic leader.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Northeast Asia's two industrial giants were Japan and North Korea. The latter was developing at an average annual growth rate of 25%.
The former Soviet Union's strategy of building North Korea into a top student and a model country in a socialist state is inseparable.
During this period, the Economic Mutual Assistance Committee led by the former Soviet Union played a crucial role in the rapid development of North Korea's economy.
Before the 1960s and 1970s, the domestic economy of the Philippines was quite good. In contrast, South Korea at the same time was simply an absolute poor agricultural country.
The watershed in the fate of the two countries began in the 1960s and 1970s, when the Korean man Park Chung-hee came from the sky. He also had a Japanese name called Takagi Masao.
The Philippines welcomed Ferdinand Marcos. Although both of this man and Park Chung-hee achieved dictatorship, their starting points were completely different.
Park Chung-hee is more based on serving the country and the people, and wants South Korea to completely get rid of its international status as a poor agricultural country, so that ordinary Korean citizens can have a full meal.
The economic policies he formulated were out of public interest, and Ferdinand Marcos was a very greedy word. When Ferdinand Marcos was in power in the early days, he did make some economic and political achievements.
However, most of his time in power, he treated the country's money as his personal money, making the entire Philippines a mess, and the people were living in poverty." Masao Ishihara talked happily.
He paused at this point, took another sip of the lemonade in the glass cup, and then said: "In the 1980s and 1990s, North Korea, one of the industrial twins in Northeast Asia, which was once as famous as Japan, showed its economic downturn.
South Korea, which was once far inferior to North Korea in terms of economy, not only caught up, but also left North Korea far behind.
Another in-depth change in this Asian financial crisis has not only undergone major changes in the pattern of East Asian countries, but also major changes have begun to occur in Southeast Asian countries.
The reason why Japan was able to recover rapidly and even rise from its defeat in World War II was that although it had encountered various economic storms and waves in the past few decades, it had never been destructive and unrestrained.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Japan's economy was basically on a major upward trend.
Even in the current situation of poor economic environment, it shows relatively stable economic development. Even if there is negative growth, it is not very good.
It is not like North Korea, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, which will cause devastating domestic economic damage due to major changes in the external economic environment.
Another thing is that Taiwan's performance in this Asian financial crisis is very impressive. Even if it is under negative impact, it is still very small.
