"Japan, in my eyes, is a plate of delicious food."
"This world has never been a paradise for the weak."

Traveling through the eve of the Meiji Restoration, Kamiya Terugao had only one creed: profit first, family and country? Feelings? Those are all business chips.
Fortunately, he brought the ultimate plug-in for time travellers:
• Poor historical information: Precisely target every era node, speculate, hoard, and buy the bottom.
• Technology golden fingers: five-axis machine tools, 3-nanometer chips, deep-sea exploration... Use cross-generational technology to reduce the dimensionality of the old world.
• Capital means: mergers and acquisitions, monopoly, political and business bundling, and playing with global financial leverage.
So, the style of painting became like this:
• While the Mitsui Zaibatsu was still hoarding goods, his standardized textile factories had a nationwide monopoly.
• While Rockefeller was dominating oil, his deep sea fields were quietly producing oil.
• When Japan was in ruins after defeat, his assets had already been transferred to Switzerland and he began to develop photolithography machines.
• While the global Internet is enjoying the carnival, he is quietly reaping the trillions of returns on his investment that year.
From a wealthy businessman in Osaka, to the uncrowned king of Japan, to the shadow of capital shrouding the world. He hid behind the scenes and controlled the 160-year historical process with a cold eye.
"The so-called history is just a line of jumping numbers on my capital map."
