I received a telephone call from U, who, in response to my recommendation, had purchased this week’s issue of Shukan Asahi.
The Bank of Japan’s additional easing is far too timid!
“Demonstrate Japan’s resolve by injecting ¥50 trillion”
After reading the major feature article, now in its fourth week, U said, “It is exactly the same as what you were saying, Mr. Kisara.”
That is why I told you.
“My answer is a truth that reaches the other side of the Earth, and ¥100 trillion is not an echo.”
That was the nature of our conversation.
I urge all of you, too, to purchase and read this feature in this week’s issue of Shukan Asahi.
If you do, there may be some among you who will understand for the first time the greatness of my book mentioned below.
Regarding Umeda and the North Yard, the second-rate businesspeople who, despite having acquired their properties at half price and then at a further twenty-percent discount, continued to set forth and repeat such thoroughly pessimistic arguments, finally realized—or rather, finally learned—only after Osaka Station City　recorded more than 100 million visitors in merely six months following its opening, and the underlying strength of Umeda and the power of Umeda, of which I had continued to speak for more than ten years, revealed themselves,
and began to recognize that it represents “next to the world, the shape of the future”; the brilliance of the minds of these people is truly magnificent (it goes without saying that this is sarcasm), and similarly, there will probably be many people who recognize my greatness.
