只要能賺一塊錢,就什麼都要去做!

我賺錢的動力就是一直把錢存進這個錢箱裡,看到自己手上握的錢,每天、每天在這裡越積越多,就是最大的樂趣……打從十九歲來到大阪做學徒,萬治郎就很有生意頭腦。

店裡的管事叫他跑腿買香菸、女傭請他幫忙買郵票,他都能趁機賺上一筆,於是他的錢愈來愈多,但他卻從不亂花錢,而是每逢夜深人靜的時候,偷偷把錢整齊地排在行李箱底,排滿一行後,再排第二行,第二行也排滿後,開始排第三行……即使後來自立門戶當了老闆,他也還是不改吝嗇本性。出門參加宴會,他每次都只吃一點點,剩下的統統打包,因為「這麼好吃的食物,一下子吃完太可惜了。

我要帶回家,分成今晚的宵夜和明天早餐慢慢品嘗。」家裡的天花板漏水,即使自家倉庫就堆滿了木材,他卻用使用過的便當盒薄板來修補,於是「便當木板鐵公萬」這個綽號從此不脛而走。然而如此一毛不拔的他,在被推選為大阪商人會議所議員的慶祝會上,竟然破天荒地宣布要捐十萬圓給同業工會!

About the author

Toyoko Yamasaki

131 books21 followers
Toyoko Yamasaki (山崎 豊子, real name Sugimoto Toyoko; 3 November 1924 – 29 September 2013) was a Japanese novelist.

A native of Osaka, Yamasaki worked as a journalist for the Mainichi Shimbun from 1945 to 1959 after graduating from Kyoto Women's University in Japanese literature. She published her first story, Noren (1957), a story of a kelp trader, based on the experiences of her family's business. The following year, she won the Naoki Prize for her second novel Hana Noren, the story about the founder of an entertainment group. A major influence on her writings of that period was Yasushi Inoue, who was deputy head of the Mainichi Shimbun's cultural news desk.

Yamasaki wrote some stories based on actual events. For example, Futatsu no Sokoku is derived from the biography of a Japanese American David Akira Itami, and Shizumanu Taiyō is based on the Japan Airlines Flight 123 accident. Several works of hers were featured in films and television dramas.
