Chapter 075: The Office
The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto was led by Ryui Miyazaki to Hard Gold Capital’s office in Seoul. The moment he walked into the office, all of the employees took the initiative to stand up and bowed forty-five degrees toward him.
Mr. Kishimoto understood that not only RB companies, but also Korean companies, all of them had this set of military-style management that subordinates must obey their superiors.
In addition to Hidetaka Sato, who had first followed Ryui Miyazaki to Seoul to establish the office, there were three other unfamiliar faces here.
Miyazaki Ryui whispered from the sidelines and passed the word, “These are the three Koreans I hired on a temporary basis.”
When Masayoshi Kishimoto learned of this, he did not want to blame the other party in his heart; after all, the two of them would definitely be understaffed, and hiring local personnel to fill the company was also an important part of the localization strategy.
However, he had always hated the distinction between unofficial and official members. The corporate culture and values that he wanted to create were the kind of humanized management style that American companies have.
Inside the company, there was no longer any formal staff, informal staff, what kind of work they did, what kind of position they corresponded to, and what kind of money they received. The most is the internship period, the money to take some less.
If there is a real need to increase the number of temporary employees, that is another matter, completely unlike the current unofficial employees whose income is only one-third or one-half of that of the official employees.
However, the amount of work they have to do is not less than that of a regular employee, but even more. On the one hand, the company that hired them wanted to exploit and squeeze them to the maximum extent, and on the other hand, they were bullied by the formal members.
Who made them the “stepmother’s children” without a proper name? As a result, they are given a lot of work to do by the formal members.
The negative result of this is that unofficial members do not have a sense of belonging and cohesion towards the company that employs them.
In addition to their work, their biggest worry is whether their contract will not be renewed when it expires.
As far as a turnaround goes, the odds of that are slim to none, and that’s pretty small. Even if it’s better than nothing, it’s still a way to positively motivate them to work harder.
Of course, it’s the same price that a lot of people have to pay up front to get into a big or well-known company, similar to zero pay pretty much. If they were to follow the normal procedure, their resumes would be eliminated before they could even pass the first hurdle.
Zero pay is not about not wanting money, it’s about wanting a chance to express yourself. Besides, how can a regular good company lack those three or two dates?
The reason why these people will be used is really not to take advantage of, but in order to select the best from the majority of interns, after all, is more intuitive than layers of written tests and interviews.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was worried that those three Koreans couldn’t understand Japanese and said, “Sato, translate for me.”
Sato Hidetaka not only did Korean translation work, but also other administrative work. He responded with a serious “yes”.
“For the three of you, choosing Hard Gold Capital to work in our Seoul office is a rare and correct choice in your lives.
Now, perhaps you won’t think about it that way, just thinking that you’re lucky to have found a job under the Asian financial turmoil, that’s all.
When the Asian financial turmoil is over and the economy picks up, then you can look for a better long-term job. If you have this kind of mentality, you will miss the opportunity.
What is opportunity? It’s a monster with its face covered. By the time you pass by it, look back at it, and try to reach out and grab it, it has become absolutely impossible.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto’s speed of speech, even if not deliberately slowed down, was able to allow Hidetaka Sato to make a simultaneous translation. His speech to the three unofficial Korean members was not just to stabilize their hearts and minds and get them to focus on their work, but he was genuinely telling them that the opportunity was already in front of you.
As for whether you can catch it or not, it depends on the individual. In less than two or three years, Hard Gold Capital will not be what it used to be.
It will be very difficult to become an unofficial member of the company, even if you just want to enter the company. If you follow through the initial stage of the office, will certainly let them turn, after all, is the beginning of everything is difficult, there is no credit but also have hard work, or else there is fatigue.
Three young Koreans after listening to the Korean translation of Sato Xiuzhong, one by one are looking at each other, but did not express any opinion. They just mechanically clapped their hands.
Kishimoto Justice knew at a glance that they did not believe his words. However, I don’t blame them. As long as things didn’t happen and become reality, then everything just didn’t exist.
One was not boasting, but saying what needed to be said. Just like the words that Akimoto Yasushi, the founder of AKB48, had said to Ichiyo at the time, their goal was to have a concert inside the Tokyo Dome.
At that very moment, no one would have believed it to be true, and it was all taken as him talking out of his ass. As a result, the dream became a reality. If you dare to think about it, but you don’t even dare to think about it, then how can you start doing it?
“You guys keep working!” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t say too many words in a long speech.
He walked in towards Miyazaki Ryui’s office. Miyazaki Ryui was then following him and walked in as well. Masayoshi Kishimoto sat on top of Miyazaki Ryui’s seat, while Miyazaki Ryui stood on the opposite side without sitting down. This was in the company, not in private, and the rules between superiors and subordinates still had to be spoken.
“After the Asian financial turmoil is over, what do you think will be the situation of Korea’s economy?” Justice Kishimoto asked calmly.
Miyazaki Ryui knew in his heart that the boss would not be chatting with himself. If he was chatting, he could have said it during dinner last night, would he need to be as formal as he is now?
“The South Korean government will definitely then introduce an economic stimulus recovery package. The Bank of Korea will also follow with a series of monetary policies.
Loose monetary policy is definitely there. My suggestion is that you can pay more attention to the Korean currency market and bond market.” Miyazaki Ryui said as he shared what was on his mind.
Masayoshi Kishimoto did not take a position. He has already harvested a lot from shorting the yen and going long on the dollar, making excessive profits, and he does still have a large amount of cash on hand.
He is not in a hurry, after all, not the Korean won. He also thought of the South Korean government and the central bank will be in the future to implement loose monetary policy to stimulate the country’s economic recovery.
The benefits are obvious, more money makes it easier for businesses and individuals in need of loans to borrow money, and generally makes the economy grow faster, a measure to promote prosperity or resist recession.
The downside is that it is passed on to individual Koreans, and the lower down the social ladder you are, the higher the misery index. This group of people at the bottom of the hierarchy is the most upset. The loose monetary policy will inevitably bring about an increase in the supply of cash, depreciate the currency, and trigger inflation.
