Chapter 148: True Intentions
Yamada Mirai left Tokyo University of the Arts and returned to Hard Gold Capital. She also brought back the duplicate contract that Professor Suzuki had signed and stamped with his private seal, and placed it on top of Oda Feiqiao’s desk, meaning that she asked the other party to stamp it with the official seal.
Yamada Mirai didn’t say anything more, fully trusting that the other party knew how to do it. She turned around and walked out of the administrative section, but did not return to her workstation, directly stepping into the president’s office to conduct a relevant work report.
After Justice Kishimoto finished listening to her brief presentation, he smiled with interest and said, “What method did you use to make Prof. Suzuki obedient?”
“I just told him that if he really wanted to organize a concert, we at Hard Gold Capital alone could do it completely effortlessly.
Even if we have to seek a partner, there are plenty of them. I’m sure it won’t be difficult to find one from the other professors at Tokyo University of the Arts.”
Yamada Mirai did not show a smug look on her face. She felt that her negotiation with Prof. Suzuki was a completely trivial matter without any difficulty, after all, the advantage was on her side.
“Things were done quite well by you.” Justice Kishimoto said with a slight compliment.
“Boss, you flatter me. Although buying three hundred tickets isn’t a difficult task for our company, we have to ask people to go and see it!
At that time, do we have to pay for it again and arrange for some people to go to the venue specifically?” Yamada Mirai knew that money wasn’t the problem, but rather the problem was humanity.
“Why are you confused? Is this matter still not easy to solve? All of us in the company can participate, those who have boyfriends can bring their boyfriends, those who have girlfriends can bring their girlfriends, and those who have family members can also bring their family members.
Our body can not always carry the smell of copper, to accept the cultivation of elegant art and music and baptism is still completely necessary. This spiritual and spiritual wealth is more important than material wealth.
Of course, I do not force everyone to go. Even if some people do not want to go, it is nothing, not forced, not counted as attendance. As for those who go, it will be counted as overtime, and there will be overtime pay.
If you bring a family member, it’s a double. If you have a wife or child, you’ll be counted according to your headcount, how many people come, how many shares. Consider it a special benefit I’m giving out to all of you.
Secondly, those customers who have invested in our company with their money, it’s also time to make the necessary return. At that time, you send someone to deliver a few concert tickets.
The standard will be one ticket for an investment of one hundred million dollars, ten hundred million dollars will be ten tickets, and so on. Finally, be sure to leave me ten tickets for the first day of the show.
Rie Sakai also has parents, a younger brother, and a younger sister. Masayoshi Yanai’s side of Uniqlo is also sending me four. When his first flagship store opened in Harajuku, Tokyo, he also sent me a VIP invitation.
As for the last two, send them over to the little fat girl, that’s Kyoko Fukada from HORIPRO.” Masayoshi Kishimoto confided without haste.
“Boss, dividing it up like you did, I’m afraid those three hundred concert tickets won’t be enough to divide.” Yamada Mirai thought to herself, not only is there overtime pay for watching the concert, but she can also bring people there to get more overtime pay, who wouldn’t go, isn’t that silly? She did a little rough math and said.
“Since it’s not enough to share, then go to Professor Suzuki’s side to get more tickets. Anyway, he can’t sell them. Even if he gives them away, it’s just friends, family, coworkers, or whatever, definitely not as many as on our side.” Masayoshi Kishimoto recalled that when AKB48 had its first public performance, only seven people had actually bought tickets to the theater, which was the origin of the “Divine Seven”.
In addition to that, there were the press and other media invited by Akimoto Yasushi, as well as the parents of the girls and other people. Not only AKB48, which would be a hit for the next ten years, but also the Chinese Deyunsha’s first debut performance, which was also not attended by many people.
A concert of refined art that has no reputation and makes its debut is definitely in the niche category. Really want to sell tickets, not to mention seven people, I’m afraid that even a table of mahjong can not come together.
“Understood. A full house and an empty house are two different things. Professor Suzuki won’t be grateful to us yet.” Yamada Mirai said with a heartfelt smile.
“As for some of the related media reporters, you should also go ahead and invite them. This isn’t just a concert, but it’s also a time for us, Hard Gold Capital Corporation, to show our image to the outside world for the first time.”
Justice Kishimoto wasn’t throwing money towards the water for fun. Even if one took the money and hit the water, one would still be able to see a few waves. How could he himself agree to Prof. Suzuki with alacrity for no reason at all?
Even if he wanted to arrange for Rie Sakai to enter the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, he could have talked to the parties directly. Why did one have to make that detour? Even the most elegant art needs to be sponsored by others.
The Tokyo Symphony Orchestra is not a non-profit organization, it also needs to sell tickets to make money. Otherwise, it wouldn’t even be able to pay its monthly salary.
It’s exactly like the Vienna Golden Hall. People who don’t know it well think that it’s so high class to hold concerts there, but in fact it’s a venue that can be rented out except for a few days of the year when it’s for someone else’s own use.
So, a lot of Chinese people went to rent there to hold the so-called concerts. As for the audience, either they give tickets to embassies, Chinese associations, etc., or they open it for free to passers-by.
They would take some photos and record some videos in order to advertise the concerts in China and make the uninformed people feel that it was a good show.
The reason why he agreed to join forces with Prof. Suzuki, valuing its back “Tokyo University of the Arts” this piece of gold sign, after all, is Japan’s highest art school.
After all, it is the highest art school in Japan. When the time comes, Prof. Suzuki will surely invite the president of the school to attend the concert, so he can legitimately use those valuable words.
As for the naming rights, the implanted advertisements, that would be Hard Gold Capital Inc. The company itself has always been unknown in the public eye. If it could be associated with “Tokyo University of the Arts”, then it would be able to attract people’s attention to a greater or lesser extent.
“Boss, you’re the one who thought it through. At first, I was under the mistaken impression that you were throwing money at this concert in order to promote your fianc茅e, Ms. Rie Sakai, to a higher position.
Now, I’ve realized that your true intention is to showcase the corporate image of Hard Gold Capital to the outside world.” Yamada Mirai said with a sudden realization.
“Would I be unable to distinguish between public and private? Wouldn’t. We’re the ones doing the investing, so what’s the point of investing without making the relevant calculations of what’s at stake? Might as well just open a goodwill center.
This occupational disease, both by nature and a great sadness, causes everything to become like to calculate.” Masayoshi Kishimoto did not deny saying.
