Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Enterprises, or companies, do exist in the ninja world.

Cardo's classic shipping company is one such example.

However, in the ninja world, most of them are still individual business owners or small family businesses.

There are very few multinational corporations of this scale in the entire ninja world.

This relatively outdated model is what Watanabe Tetsu wanted to change.

Cultivating companies has many benefits for the Land of Rain.

The most obvious example is taxation.

The tax revenue generated by companies is enormous and much easier to collect than that of sole proprietorships.

Imagine thousands of self-employed individuals; it would be difficult for the tax authorities to collect all the money, and it would also be difficult to guarantee that there were no cases of tax evasion.

As a large corporation, a company is obviously easier to regulate than a flexible sole proprietorship.

Secondly, the company is more competitive.

Businesses can provide more jobs and bring more individuals together to jointly produce more technologically advanced products.

From research and development to production to sales, the entire process has become more complete.

Simply put, a better ecosystem means greater resilience to market risks.

At the same time, as a large group, the company is better suited to participate in some large-scale projects.

In the Land of Rain, it's impossible for Xiaoguang to do everything personally.

It's definitely necessary to divert some projects and profits.

In this context, it becomes especially important to cultivate a group of people who can undertake projects.

Merchants consisting of only two or three people clearly lack the capacity to handle large-scale business.

The heavy burden naturally fell on the enterprises.

Furthermore, the company's model also helps Xiaoguang Association carry out targeted assistance.

For example, setting up a company in Xiaoguang City or hiring a large number of employees can result in certain tax breaks.

Finally, it is the most important point.

The company can mitigate the risks associated with Xiaoguanghui.

If Xiaoguang were to lead all the work in every field, the margin for error would be very low.

If you make a mistake in a certain area, it will cause a storm.

The existence of enterprises can serve as a trial-and-error tool for Xiaoguanghui.

In this way, Xiaoguang will not need to delve deeply into every field; he only needs to master some core areas.

For example, in education, healthcare, and military industry.

As for other areas like food and entertainment, let's leave those to other companies.

It's like dividing up a large piece of cake.

These advantages are what made Watanabe Tetsuya want to develop the business model.

At the heart of it all is economic development.

The economy of the Rain Kingdom is in dire straits, and a series of economic stimulus measures are necessary to revitalize it.

Perhaps in other ninja villages, they don't pay much attention to economic development.

They will focus on military training.

But in reality, the two are not mutually exclusive at all.

Developing the economy can actually boost military strength.

Compared to the considerations of the leaders of the various ninja villages, Watanabe Tetsu's considerations were more comprehensive.

It seems to be a shared consideration between the ninja village and the nation.

Returning to the company Fujiwara Technology, Watanabe Tetsuya also had some ideas about bringing Fujiwara Akira to the forefront.

Strictly speaking, Fujiwara Technology is actually controlled by Xiaoguang Group behind the scenes.

Fujiwara Akira was more like a shield.

This is because the ninjutsu scrolls produced and sold by Xiaoguang are very sensitive.

If this technology originated from a ninja village, it would inevitably arouse the nobles' fear of the Akatsuki.

But what if this technology came from Fujiwara Akira, who was also a nobleman?

The shared noble status would make other nobles lower their guard.

Those nobles would only see it as an ally within their circle who had discovered this business opportunity.

Purchasing ninjutsu scrolls was essentially a matter of money circulating among nobles, and it couldn't be considered aiding the enemy.

While it cannot guarantee that it will be able to cover up Xiaoguanghui's actions, it can at least buy some time.

It's best not to let too many people know about the changes in the Land of Rain and the existence of the Dawn Society.

Especially the nobles.

In this ninja world, those who truly hold the reins are still the nobles and daimyo.

They control food, the economy, and politics.

They can incite the various ninja villages to constantly fight amongst themselves, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction.

All they have to do is sit back and reap the benefits.

In any case, each village has an unspoken rule against killing daimyo.

The ninja village, on the other hand, is more like a hunting dog restricted by economic constraints.

Constrained by economic factors, they could only follow the daimyo's orders and earn money by completing commissioned tasks in order to support the village's ninjas.

This model implies that daimyo and nobles are the biggest obstacle to the development of the Rain Country.

It is absolutely impossible for a powerful nation to watch a nation without a powerful name grow up.

This means that traditional models can be changed.

Having a famous name is not a necessity.

This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable to ninjas.

Once the Land of Rain truly achieves food self-sufficiency and develops in an orderly manner...

That would be a provocation against the Daimyo's ninja village system.

In this way, in order to eliminate the threat, the daimyo of various countries will surely have their hounds begin to tear apart the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain is situated in the vortex of the three great powers.

That would probably be terrible.

If that time really comes, the Land of Rain will have to fight on three fronts again.

Even if it's just about nurturing the next generation...

Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko form one line, Watanabe Toru another, but we're still missing one line of combat power.

Therefore, Watanabe Tetsuya is trying his best to discover and cultivate more geniuses from the Land of Rain.

Because he knew that one day in the future, the Land of Rain would develop to an astonishing degree and would inevitably face obstacles from powerful nations.

By then, if the Land of Rain doesn't have the strength to contend with the entire ninja world, it will inevitably perish.

All of Watanabe Toru's efforts will be in vain.

Children of Xiaoguang Ninja School, grow up quickly!

...

one day later,

Nishimura appeared in front of Watanabe Tetsu's office, knocked on the door, and then went inside.

Watanabe Toru was working on the ninja academy's teaching schedule when he heard Nishimura knocking on the door and looked up.

"Boss."

Watanabe Toru was not surprised to see Nishimura.

Because it was he who asked Nishimura to come find him.

"It seems you've got the Central Bank of the Rain Country under control."

"Yes, I'm here to verify some information with you."

Watanabe Toru nodded.

Several months ago, he appointed Nishimura as the head of the logistics department.

His purpose was simply to gain insight into the other party's management skills and economic knowledge.

And the purpose of all this is nothing more than the central bank.

The current situation in the Land of Rain is very complicated. Domestic currency inflation is severe, leading to foreign currencies dominating the Land of Rain's market.

The monetary system of the Rain Country is currently in a state of chaos.

The currency of the Land of Fire is the primary circulating currency in the eastern region.

In the northern region, the currency of the Land of Earth is the main circulating currency.

In the western region, the currencies of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire are mixed together.

In short, if you want to do business from the west to the east of the Land of Rain, you will most likely receive at least three different currencies.

The first purpose of establishing a bank was to unify the currency.
