Description
[Machine Translation] A company is not there to make money for its managers. They are there to make their employees happy, which in turn creates a happy society. It is the 7th year of Meiji (1874), and Kintaro Hattori, a 15-year-old man, is working as a junior employee at Tsujiya, a fast-growing wholesale store of western goods in Tokyo. Kumekichi, Kintaro's master, highly appreciates Kintaro's qualities as a merchant, and eventually wants to marry Kintaro's younger sister, Namiko, and bring her into Tsujiya. However, contrary to Kintaro's wish, he sets his eyes on "watches," which are expensive and few people have them. He saw that with the development of the railroad network, the importance of knowing "accurate time" would increase in the future. He tells Kumekichi of his passionate desire to eventually become a watch dealer. This is the life story of Kintaro Hattori, the founder of the world-famous watch manufacturer "Seiko", presented by a master of economic novels.
