Today's Newspaper Picks:

1. Seven & I Holdings receiving a buyout proposal from a Canadian company
2. The strange disputes created by hometown tax donations
3. The structural digital deficit and our business

In summary, the articles point out that Japan's competitiveness is weakening. Historically strong in manufacturing, Japan quickly gained recognition with its consumer goods like automobiles and home appliances. However, it seems we are consistently losing in the digital business arena.
Meanwhile, even Seven & I Holdings, with a market capitalization of 5 trillion yen, is facing a buyout proposal from a Canadian company with a market capitalization of 8 trillion yen, which operates convenience stores across Europe and other regions. Even though it's not a matter of national rivalry, it feels like Japanese industries could be hollowed out if we're not careful.
Domestically, there's also a “collect or be taken” structure emerging. It seems harsh, but the reality of survival of the fittest is undeniable. I want to pursue goals driven by curiosity and enthusiasm rather than fear or anxiety. To achieve that, it's essential to put in the effort and think critically.

今日のアサカイでこの記事についての話があったのは5分間程度だったと思います。その中で出てきた意見は、私からなんですけども、まずはふるさと納税制度について。

次は「セブン&アイに買収提案　カナダ同業から社外取が精査、M&A文化に変化」について。
これは私がポツリとはなしただけでした。
