Chapter 162: This Minister
When Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived at the closing time of the afternoon, he directly left. Even if it wasn’t quitting time, as long as he felt that he had nothing to do with his hands, he would still leave. Who made himself the boss?
At the very beginning, he originally wanted to implement an American-style salary system framework for positions within the company, and there was no division between what was an official member (regular worker), an unofficial member (contracted worker), and someone who came from a dispatch company (temporary worker).
That is to say, what post work, take what post money, more work, more pay, less work, less pay, no work. However, he soon realized that “the water and the soil are not suitable”. So, he had to suspend the forced promotion.
Japanese people in the traditional thinking, has long accepted the three, six, nine class division of people into the right seat. Masayoshi Kishimoto had to restore the “localization” of personnel positions within the company.
However, he did not copy the traditional Japanese company structure, with the innovative spirit of the opening of a bottom-up promotion system.
Every employee who can work in Hard Gold Capital, even if he or she is from a dispatch company or just a receptionist, has the opportunity to become a full member of the company or even a managerial staff.
The hard standard proposed by Masayoshi Kishimoto was not based on academic qualifications, but rather on the match between the individual’s ability and the specific position at a certain job. Whoever took the initiative to apply could enter into a three-month observation period.
Once they pass the assessment and are found to be fully capable of performing the job for which they have applied, it means that they can be regularized or transferred to another department or job.
On the contrary, they can either remain in their original position or simply resign and leave. The period of time between the previous and subsequent unsolicited applications is two years.
The lights at Hard Gold Capital Corporation, after they all went out, meant that everyone was off duty for the day. Tonight, instead of going back to their respective homes and looking for their respective mothers, they were going to make waves and have a blast, after all, the matter of the half-yearly award was already on the table.
After verifying the number of people willing to go, early on, Rumiko Kato had booked a place at the Hi-Lo Haute Cuisine Kiosk, which was used for business banquets inside the company on weekdays.
Knowing that their party was there to celebrate the half-yearly award, the boss’s wife had even given them a special 10% discount. Who let her personally follow the joy?
Not only were there dozens of people celebrating in her place with a lot of drinking, but she had also gathered her little sisters to raise a hundred million yen to invest in the Hard Gold Capital Company.
Now, it is also very profitable, just waiting for the dividends. The boss’s wife’s ability to find out information was not bad. It wasn’t hard for her to find out that even the people from the dispatch company inside Hard Gold Capital had been paid for three months.
For that reason, it was enough to prove how well it was run. Her own little sisters were all tainted by her, so to speak, and they were taking the sack to make money.
The small dining tables were lined up one by one and stitched together. The left and right sides each sat a person, just like a company in the celebration in general.
In fact, it was all a self-organized celebration. Every one of their faces were filled with smiles of triumph, and their hearts were filled with pride.
Although the Asian financial turmoil is completely over, but it does not mean that the economy is fully restored as before. Even if the “successful” to survive the company, will not issue so many months as their half-yearly awards.
Most of them had never been to such a high-class Japanese restaurant as the one today, which added a sense of fulfillment to their hearts.
The most active people were the men and women from the dispatch company. In the past, they were like disposable chopsticks, used and thrown away.
Even if they did a good job, they were only employed by their companies for a longer period of time. Many of them would be written off by their companies under various pretexts before they reached the end of their contracts.
It is not uncommon for people to change jobs more than a dozen times in a year. It’s not at all surprising for a person to hold three or five jobs. If you don’t have a permanent full-time job and want to survive in Tokyo, you’ll have to “move around” a lot.
For people like them, the half-yearly bonus is a way of watching the regular members of the company they work for getting it and showing it off in front of them. Even if you are an unofficial member of the same company, it’s not the same.
Those who are still in the probationary period and have not formally been regularized, but are directly recruited by the company, will also have some money to take. Only, it wouldn’t be as much as Hard Gold Capital paid out. At most, it’s just a little bit of fun, just for a month.
People are most afraid of living without hope. This once there is hope, then it will become optimistic and positive. Even a silent person would become quite lively and cheerful.
“Section Chief, after the grouping of our company, our Administration Section should be upgraded to become the Administration Department, right? At that time, you’ll definitely be the minister, or the principal minister.” Kato Rumiko grinned as she rushed at Oda Feitsugu.
“Not necessarily. The final appointment above the personnel still depends on the president.” In his heart, Oda Fei Toru naturally wanted to obtain the position of Minister, yet he had to be appropriately modest and said.
“After we’re syndicated, the president will be the chairman. Our place here is again the home base where the group will be located in the future. Among us, you have the highest seniority.
The position of this minister is yours.” Rumiko Kato took the initiative to stand up and loudly proposed, “Come on, let’s raise a glass to Minister Ota Hon.”
The people from the Administration Section were the first to respond, shouting “Minister Ota” over and over again, and the atmosphere was instantly heated up.
Along with the president’s secretary, Mirai Yamada, she also made a toast toward Ota Hatori. There was no competition between the two.
After the grouping of the company, she was either the president’s secretary or the head of the president’s office. As for Oda Feitsugu, as Kato Rumiko had said, she was the one with the most seniority remaining in the company’s main office.
After all, Miyazaki Ryui was in Seoul. Besides him, even Kobayashi Kiyoshi, who was known as the right hand of the president, was not as senior as her. The main thing was that Oda Hidetora had an outstanding ability in administrative work, which was also well deserved.
Yamada Mirai’s heart was as clear as a mirror, if she went to the administrative department, there would definitely be many people who would not be satisfied with her. The first of them was Rumiko Kato.
In terms of seniority, she was really not as high as the other party. However, his own personal ability is much higher than Kato Rumiko. She was not unaware of the fact that in Japanese companies, personal seniority was still a factor to be considered.
Even if Masayoshi Kishimoto said that the employee’s personal working ability is the first factor, but also did not deny the existence of seniority in the company’s value.
After Rumiko Kato finished her glass of wine, she took an empty glass and spoke eloquently, “Thinking back to the time when our Hard Gold Capital was in its infancy, our current section chief, that is, our future head of the department, Ota Feitsugu, was one of the two patriarchs.
At that time, our company was often misunderstood as a loan shark. Nowadays, what are our future goals for Hard Gold Capital Corporation?”
Many of the people in the audience rushed at her and blushed as they shouted, “No. 1 in Japan, No. 1 in Asia, and No. 1 in the world.”
Rumiko Kato placed her left hand next to her left ear and sidled up, “Again.”
“Japan No. 1, Asia No. 1, World No. 1.” The number of people responding this time than the last time was even greater. They hissed in a neatly organized manner.
