Words naturally have great appeal. One is that the status of a Nobel Prize winner is a great bonus for scholars. With this honor, it is equivalent to the clay being plated with a layer of gold, which allows scholars to gain a great reputation bonus.

, greatly increasing scholars’ speech appearance fees.

Furthermore, for developing countries, winning the Nobel Prize means reaching the world's top level in a certain aspect, which can inspire people's hearts, condense national consciousness, and unite all parties among the citizens.

It can be said that those who regard the Nobel Prize as a god are basically those in developing countries. As for developing countries, the sacred halo of the Nobel Prize has been greatly weakened.

At the end of the seven-day National Day holiday and the quarrel over the Nobel Prize, a piece of news shocked the whole world, that is, the Kobelco fraud scandal broke out. When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar and the industry was shocked.

Precision manufacturing is the main pillar of Japanese manufacturing, but Kobe Steel, Japan's third largest steel company, has fallen into a quagmire of fraud. The incident has had a huge impact, and the Japanese media called it "Kobelco's behavior has shaken the foundation of Japan's manufacturing industry."

Kobe Steel was founded in 1905 and has been around for more than 110 years. It is truly a century-old company. Even today, it is still the third largest steel producer in Japan and the top supplier of aluminum and copper products in Japan and the world.

One of the top 500 companies. Such a 'century-old store' has been committing fraud for 10 years. The management staff were collectively involved, and the scandal was exposed. It can be said that the credibility of 'Made in Japan' was ruined and it fell from the altar.

And at this moment, the brick-and-mortar gangsters who had been advocating Japan's "craftsman spirit" seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Kobe Steel's behavior simply slapped these people left and right.

In fact, the Kobe Steel scandal is not an accident, as can be seen from the outbreaks in several large Japanese companies in recent years.

For example, in 2015, Toshiba had a major financial fraud scandal that lasted seven years, involved three presidents, and amounted to US$1.9 billion in fraud. It then refused to repent, and new financial fraud was exposed again in 2016.

For example, in April 2016, Mitsubishi Motors exposed the "fuel efficiency scandal" and falsified the fuel consumption data of many of its cars. This fraud has been going on for 25 years.

For another example, in 2016, Suzuki Motor was forced to admit that it had "been using methods that violated national regulations to conduct fuel efficiency testing since 2010."

...

And every time a scandal is exposed, the 90-degree confession and bow of corporate executives becomes a unique sight.

Because of this, some Chinese netizens sarcastically said that the so-called "craftsman spirit" is clearly the "craftsman spirit"!
