I'm not reporting the name of the dish, these brands you are familiar with are all from the same company, the Fuji Foundation.
Founded in 1966, the Fuji Foundation consists of 29 large corporations, and is known as the Hibiscus Foundation because of Japan's famous Mount Fuji, also known as the Hibiscus Peak.
After decades of development, the six major consortiums, including Fuji, now control more than 60% of Japan's economic lifeline, and even SoftBank is a small witch in front of them.
After the end of World War II, Japan's economy was in shambles, almost collapsed, and the government began to vigorously support foundations in order to rebuild Japan, and it was under this opportunity that foundations such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Fuji were able to develop rapidly.
Born in 1938, Zenjiro Yasuda began to sell flowers on the street at the age of 5 to subsidize his family because of his family's middle school. Later, because he was unwilling to be ordinary, he went out and wandered, and with his smart mind, he accumulated a thick family foundation by exchanging coins.
In the last years of the shogunate, the political situation in Japan was in chaos. Yasuda Zenjiro accidentally discovered that the exchange ratio of gold and silver in Japan was 1:5, while the exchange ratio in the West was 1:15, so he started a currency exchange business, taking advantage of the difference between the exchange of Eastern and Western currencies to exchange Japanese coins abroad, and made a lot of money for a while.
At the same time, this method also caused a large amount of money outflow from Japan, and in response to this situation, the Japanese government deliberately minted the "new small judgment" with a relatively low gold content to exchange it for the coins that had previously flowed out. But the big chaebols, including Mitsui, watched coldly and no one responded. But Yasui Zenjiro seized the opportunity and took the initiative to ask for it, riding a tricycle door to door to exchange old money, and collecting commissions from it. The following year, he used the wealth accumulated over the years to open Yasudaya, which specializes in silver and silver exchange, which is the predecessor of Yasuda Bank.
After the Meiji Restoration, the new government issued a large number of "Taisho Guanza" banknotes to raise funds, but it was difficult to move because there were not enough gold reserves. But Zenjiro Yasuda once again stepped forward to help the government issue paper money. A few years later, with the development of the Japanese economy, the great government officials also rose, and Yasuda Zenjiro became the chairman of the Japan Banking Association in favor of the government.
In 1879, Japan vigorously supported the development of private capitalism, and with the approval of the government, Yasuda Zenjiro began to establish the private Yasuda Bank, and at the same time involved in construction, railways, electricity, textiles and other fields, and the Yasuda Empire began to take shape.
However, in 1921, Yasuda Zenjiro was assassinated by Japanese nationalist Heigo Asahi . It is said that people were generally very indifferent to the death of Zenjiro Yasuda because of his ill-gotten wealth and harm to society, but Asahi Heigo's funeral was attended by thousands of people.
However, the death of Zenjiro Yasuda ended the glory of the Yasuda family, and later generations took advantage of the Showa financial crisis in Japan to make a fortune again and become the top of the Japanese banking industry.
During World War II, the Japanese chaebols, mainly Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo, laid a strong material foundation for Japan's foreign aggression and expansion and played a vital role.
In 1949, Japan was defeated in the war, and in order to avoid a resurgence, the United States forced Japan to carry out a series of democratic economic reforms such as "dismantling the chaebols", and Yasuda, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and other chaebols were forced to dissolve, and Yasuda Bank was renamed Fuji Bank.
In 1966, Fuji Bank established the Seremban Group by gathering its pre-war subsidiaries, and later actively developed in aviation services, marine development, information centers, and oil development, forming the current Fuji Foundation.
Today, the Fuji Foundation occupies a pivotal position in Japan's textile, manufacturing, and financial industries, and its Nissan Motor Company ranks third in Japan due to its exquisite technology.
After the bursting of Japan's real estate bubble, Fuji Bank merged with Japan's Daiichi Bank and Industrial Bank to form Japan's Keisui Financial Group---- the world's largest financial group, and it can be said that the Fuji Foundation has made an indelible contribution to Japan's economic development.
