Don’t you mean the report you produced? Yazawa-san said.
I know that it’s been reported to the press that some of the facilities that were headed by private groups had problems and some of them already left
No, some of them just happened to be from the private sector, and most of them have been successful in improving the services of the facilities, changing the mindset of the workers there! It’s been a great success! Media and professors from various universities have already supported my reform and acknowledged my success! Governor Murata rebutted.
As expected, it can’t be always bureaucrats all the time. People who know the intensity of the private sector has to be the ones guiding on top Hmm.
That’s why I want to spread the reforms I’m doing in the prefecture to the national! Aggressive recruitment of the private department! Rather, I want all the department heads and above in the ministries to be people with proven track records in the private sector! It’s the bureaucracy that’s undermining this country! We want to aggressively introduce the blood of the private sector into the nation! I.
I get it. So it’s completely broken Yep, no good.
Yes, that’s right! We can’t leave it to the bureaucrats at all!
That’s not what I meant. I was talking about your way of thinking, Murata-san I said.
Huh? Murata looked at me with a surprised face.
No, I think that your reform is only working because it’s only in one local province, but.
No, it’s not as successful as Governor Murata says it is. The public thinks it’s working because governor Murata repeatedly called the media to show that it’s succeeding, that it’s improving. But if you check the minor details, you’ll see that his debt is increasing, and the policy plans have failed and are in debt. It’s already criticized by media and researchers everywhere Yazawa-san told me.
No, that’s not it! Wait! Why are you insisting that it’s bad! I’m still in the middle of the reform! Even if you evaluate it halfway.
Aren’t you evaluating yourself as successful halfway? I said.
Yes! My reforms are highly appreciated! Meaning, there’s a certain amount of media and researchers who trust what governor Murata’s saying. On the other hand, there’s also what Yazawa-san said, that there are critical media and researchers. Either way, it isn’t as successful as governor Murata says it is. That’s obvious.
I guess the part where they talk about the bureaucracy routine has become relaxed Yazawa-san said.
That doesn’t mean that private companies are all strict and decent places to work either I think it’s too much to assume that people with more experience in the private sector are more competent than government officials.
Well, it can’t be helped, Murata-san’s a former cultural entertainer after all Yazawa-san said with a sigh. Oh, governor Murata says that he runs his own company, but. The truth is, he doesn’t have any experience working in the private sector.
what? I.
Private companies vary greatly in size, and type of business don’t they?
Yes, some huge companies have departments that are even more lukewarm and unproductive than the bureaucrats
Also, private companies and government offices are fundamentally different things
Can you explain? Yazawa-san tells me.
Yes. In private companies, they can do as many drastic things as they want at the discretion of the management. That’s what Murata-san’s explaining as speed. But on the other hand, when they fail, they turn bankrupt I’m already starting to study management to open the bakery with Katsuko-nee.
It’s bankruptcy. A manager’s miscalculation risks the company collapsing. Nobody will help them But.
But that’s not how the government works. If you make a bold decision that ends up with huge debt as a result. The government won’t be the one under, but the citizens
There are already cities that’ve gone bankrupt as a result of loose management. The results are awful, higher taxes while the resident services are declining Yazawa-san said.
That’s why bureaucracy is not a place to make mistakes in decisions. Therefore, they’re careful, taking time before they make a decision
That’s how the government works so it’s inevitable, it’s different from the private sector
In bureaucracy, people with the same mindset as those in the private sector are sent in through open recruitment and the higher-ups order them to do this, do that, at the same speed in the private sector.that’ll cause confusion in place
Just like what’s happening in your prefecture, putting into action whenever you come up with a plan on the spur of the moment can fail, and cause tens of millions of debt in just one case Governor Murata’s listening to our conversation with a mouth opened wide.
But because of the size of the prefecture, I don’t think it has reached the point of collapse yet. However, if Murata-san expands that to a national scale
Since the size of the budget will be different. It will be terrible
I don’t think that bureaucracy is great either, but. I just had a war with some bureaucrats recently.
But, I don’t think that they’re people you can make fun of They’re familiar with running the nation as a business.
And so, Murata-san’s starting a political party with entrepreneurs, but. I.
Does running a chain of food stores, or a pachinko parlor, or making mobile games add anything to being a politician?
No, it’s because they made their companies and succeeded! They’ve trained their employees and gone through the trials and tribulations of running a business I stopped governor Murata from speaking.
That’s amazing, yes. But, their company succeeded in that type of industry. Right? I looked at governor Murata in the eye and said.
There’s no overlap in what they need to do as a politician, is there?
Why? Ah.
What I mean is, a person who succeeded in bakery business can’t just start a shipbuilding company next I said.
It has the same significance in company management, but the substance is different, see?
Substance? Governor Murata’s dumbfounded.
Bakeries have daily income. Daily production, daily profit. However, if you keep selling only cheap food, your daily profit will be lacking. Your employees will be limited. You don’t need that many experts in bread baking. You’ll have to hire some partime workers just to sell the products, but. I said.
But in the shipbuilding business, money doesn’t come in every day, see? It takes months to build a ship, and that’s when the money comes in one big payment. And so, you need enough money in your budget to pay the wage and materials for the workers for the months until you get paid. Your employees are all professionals and require a high level of technical skills
The scopes of the companies are different. Their connection to banks too Yazawa-san said.
Well then, let’s say Murata-san, that you’re a man who owned a small bakery, and you became successful because the pastries are delicious. Since you’re a successful manager, do you think that you can run a shipbuilding company as well?
There’s no way I can Governor Murata said. Then I;
Yes, if you understand that running a bakery is different from running a shipbuilding company, then you’ll be able to learn from scratch and do well Giving instructions to the partime bakery ladies, and. Dealing with the engineers at the shipyard should be completely different.
If I manage the shipbuilding company, with the same know-how on the bakery, far from that, if I were to aggressively apply what I know and gained from the bakery to the shipbuilding company, the company would be a mess I said.
It’s the same with food chains and national politics. Even the most amazing chain store is on a different scale than a national operation. The way you instruct partime workers in a store can’t be useful in giving instructions to the bureaucrats of the state. The scale and industry are different
