And all along I thought that only three numbers were important in Japan.

110? 758? 118? 112? i could go on and on, but then I guess I would be boring you with this frivolous display of my trivial knowledge....

What kind of school you need to do to reach this level of stupidity ?

Can't tell you, because he is two grades ahead of me and that makes him my senpai, so I can't talk about him.

21,066 is the number of companies still operating in Japan founded more than a century ago. This tells you more or less all you need to know about Japanese corporate culture, management style and appetite for change. It tells you what the Japanese think about longevity and why they are less worried about being the fastest ageing society on Earth than everyone else is on their behalf.

Actually, it doesn't tell me jack. The number is probably lower in the US, as 100 years ago much of the country was still only semi-inhabited. But what about Europe? This kind of wide-eyed wanking over longevity seems odd coming from a UK paper. Maybe the reporter's a Yank.

It probably tells you more about their historical tax rules and credit structures than anything else.

But what about Europe?

We were all nazis and/or supporters of the holocaust and hence most of our ancient companies were dismantled after the war.

"21,066" is a number of shame.
That is, 21,000+ feudal construction companies still exist with slave-like serfs.

I thought THE number was 69.
