This book has sold 150,000 copies.
Amazing〜
150,000 copies？！
It means there are so many people who want this book.
I’m so happy to hear that.
Japan is about to change.
The world is about to change.
There’s the election for the Governor of Hyogo,
Tama-ki from the Constitutional Democratic Party,
Trump’s re-election campaign...
The awakening of high school students in Hyogo.
How do they see us, the older generation?
Are we seen as selfish, greedy people?
Those who don’t learn?
Narrow-minded individuals who don’t seek to understand?
In any case, the world is moving.
Thank you to my task managers!

US Department of Justice Requests court to force Google to sell Chrome, reports say
↓↓↓I asked CHAT GPT to explain it in a way that even elementary school students could understand↓↓↓
Then, let's try to explain it using an analogy that even elementary school students can understand.
For example, let's say there is a ‘bread factory’ that makes bread for school lunches. This bread factory is very popular and makes bread for everyone's school lunches. However, this bread factory actually also runs a ‘jam shop’ and has made a rule that ‘if you want to buy bread, you have to use our jam!
Other jam makers also want people to eat their jam, but because this bread factory is so big, the other jam makers don't really get a chance. So the number of different jams has decreased, and people can't choose.
The teacher (the Ministry of Justice) saw this and thought, ‘That's not fair, because everyone can't choose the jam they like!’, so he said, ‘Bread factory, let's separate the bread and jam, and give other jam shops a chance too’.
Is it clear? This is a story about trying to make fair rules.
There have been a series of takeover bids for Seven and i Holdings (hereafter Seven & i) which operates the 7-11 convenience store chain
We'll explain the story of the takeover of Seven-Eleven in an easy-to-understand way for elementary school students, using the analogy of ‘the store owner and the people who want to buy the store’!
---
### **What kind of store is Seven-Eleven?**
First of all, Seven-Eleven is a very large convenience store chain. There are lots of stores, and they're convenient for everyone to use every day. But the ‘owners’ who created these Seven-Eleven stores and the ‘people who want to buy them’ are having discussions.
---
### **Mr. Kusthal's story (person who wants to buy the store)**
One day, a man called Mr. Kusthal, who owns a large convenience store in Canada, came and said:
**‘Seven-Eleven, we want to buy your store because it's a great store! We've got lots of money ready!’**
But the Seven-Eleven owners replied:
**"No, no, you don't understand the value of this shop at that price!**
So, Mr. Kusthal's proposal was turned down.
---
### **Mr. Ito's Story (Person who wants to buy #2)**
In fact, the family of the owner of the first Seven-Eleven, Mr. Ito, are also thinking along these lines.
**‘We want to take better care of the Seven-Eleven ourselves. Instead of selling it to someone else, let's buy it back with the family!’**
So, Mr. Ito and his family are asking the bank and other people with money to lend them a lot of money so that they can buy back the Seven-Eleven and make it a ‘family shop’ again.
---
### **What's happening now?**
Right now, the owners of the 7-Eleven stores are carefully considering which proposal is better.
---
### **If we think about this in terms of a more familiar example...**
For example, imagine that your family has a big stationery shop. Let's say that two people come along who want to buy the shop.
1. **An uncle from abroad says, ‘I'll pay this much for it, so sell it to me!’, but the family says, ‘It has more important value!’ and refuses.**
2. **However, the family also says, ‘Let's buy the whole shop ourselves and make it into an even nicer shop!’, and they are trying their best to collect money.**
They are discussing which idea is best and deciding together.
---
### **What will the future of Seven-Eleven be like?**
Seven-Eleven is trying to become a more convenient and bigger store. It's not yet clear which path it will take, but it might give birth to a ‘new Seven-Eleven’ that everyone will want to support!
