海賊とよばれた男 hấp dẫn không thu kém gì 永遠のゼロ. Đọc được hai tác phẩm của Hyakuta Naoki thì cả hai đều xuất sắc. Mình thấy Hyakuta Naoki viết truyện đọc hấp dẫn hơn Murakami rất nhiều, nhưng có điều ông này toàn viết truyện có xảy ra thật, trong khi đó truyện của Murakami thì hoàn toàn do ông tưởng tượng ra. Không biết nên đánh giá ông nào cao hơn ông nào?

I remember that the Japanese companies had a lifetime employment system in the late 1980s. The company president had thought that his employees were the most important management resource, and equated them with a kind of his family. Therefore we had various study meeting even off the work.

However, in this globalization days, I don't think good ideas, the Japanese companies had changed the seniority system into the meritocracy.

This book is depicting well the turbulent ages.
