Chapter 210 – Residual Value

Masayoshi Kishimoto accompanied Makoto Natsui for a few days before resuming his daily work. This morning, he called Takayuki Nanno to his office.

Masayoshi Kishimoto confronted his personnel director and said, “Our company has entered a period of rapid expansion, and all aspects of our business have been growing. You may want to hurry up with the recruitment in terms of talent.”

Nanno Takayuki suddenly took the initiative to stand up towards his direction in close, his right index finger was pointing to the corner of his eye and said, “See! Recently, our Human Resources Department has been working late into the night every day, and I’ve been suffering from insomnia all night long. I’m afraid that if you force me any further, someone will die.”

“Sit down and talk. Insomnia is fine, I can introduce a pretty good Chinese massage parlor for you to get a massage and tune up.

As for the recruitment side of things, you still need to hurry up. On top of that, there’s also the pre-service training for the newcomers, so you need to pay more attention to that as well. This year is the first time that some freshly graduated undergraduates have been recruited in.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto saw that the heavy dark circles above his eyes were due to insomnia caused by the stress of work, and gestured to him with his hands pointing downward.

“Are you uncomfortable until you drive me to death? If I die of sudden cardiac death and overwork, it’s all because of you. I don’t want to spare you even if I turn into a ghost.” Nanno Takayuki said as he sat down again.

“If your HR department is short of staff, just hire them! Don’t forget that you yourself are the head of personnel.” Of course, Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that there was a shortage of manpower everywhere within the company.

Takayuki Nanno laughed dryly and said, “How dare I fertilize myself first? Nowadays, the head of each department within the group company is running to my personnel department every day to ask for people.

They are all complaining bitterly that there is too much work and not enough manpower. Even if they work overtime every day, there’s still so much unfinished work.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto still knew the situation of his group of companies like the back of his hand. It was true that they were not even getting weekends off and were still working overtime desperately.

The only thing that made himself slightly less worried about their health was that they were all still young. Furthermore, this was only temporary, not a regular occurrence.

As a boss, he was not a vampire who desperately squeezed and exploited his subordinates for their surplus value, but rather, he belonged to a more conscientious capitalist.

“You worked hard.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.

“Hard work is secondary, are you giving me a little incentive?” Nanno Takayuki started rubbing his hands in his face and said.

“Bonus, I’ll give it to you. Not only will I give it to you, but your personnel department, as well as those who work overtime every day will have a share. The more you work, the more you get, it’s only natural.” Masayoshi Kishimoto hammered it out.

“I don’t want this. Right now, you’re the president. This one group company has to have specialists and executives under the president. Although the shares in my hand are particularly small, I am at least considered the second largest shareholder of our group company. For that reason, aren’t you considering it?” Takayuki Nanno hoped to serve as one of its ranks.

“Kobayashi Kiyoshi is also short of specialists there, executive. Why don’t you go work downstairs?” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled a little and said.

Nanno Takayuki wasn’t stupid, so naturally he wouldn’t go. He was doing a good job at the headquarters and was the personnel minister at the core of the group company. This next transfer to the subsidiary company inside not to mention let him do a specialized or executive, even if it is directly do the president, do not want.

“My finance minister has also been vacant for a long time. There is also my planning minister …… you headhunted for so long, have not yet dug the other side to me ah! Wait for you to put all this to me to set things right, we will say this one thing of your promotion.

Of course, there has to be someone who can replace you in charge of the Personnel Department in advance.” Justice Kishimoto said seriously.

“My subordinate is incompetent, just fire me!” Nanno Takayuki showed a look of hopelessness and said.

“How could I fire you? I’m going to watch you die on top of your workstation.” Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that he didn’t really mean it, so he couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“I really did make a bad friend!” Nanno Takayuki’s right fist was hammering his chest, letting out a great deal of grief as he said.

“I also don’t want to give you too much pressure. However, as you know, our company’s development is gradually accelerating. Above the overseas expansion, the speed is even faster.

Although there are plenty of people looking for jobs, as many as they want, there are fewer people who work for me. Whether we use dispatch companies or directly hire temporary workers, it’s not a long-term solution.

Besides, these people are doing simple and repetitive work. It’s important to have people who are truly strong, experienced, and trustworthy to work in these important positions.” Masayoshi Kishimoto had a word to say.

“I really envy Kazuya, I can leave work as soon as it’s time.” Takayuki Nanno couldn’t help but feel a little emotional and said.

“He’s only temporarily free as well. When we encounter a dispute with someone, he, as the head of the Legal Affairs Department, will be duty-bound to intervene on behalf of the company to solve the problem.

By then, you won’t envy him. I’m afraid he’s so busy with all the preparations he needs to make that he can’t even take a sip of water.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was not siding with Kazuya Takahashi.

Nanno Takayuki understood the reasoning, after all, it wasn’t like it was his first day on the job. It was busy some days and not others. The busy cycle varied again between the various departments of the company.

Of course, the main departments of the company, such as the business department, technical department, and research and development department, which are always busy, are excluded. However, even though they are busy, they are paid more than other marginal departments.

Moreover, anyone who enters a Japanese company should be fully prepared for the fact that overtime is the norm.

In Japanese companies, employees who do not work overtime not only have no place, but also have no room for survival.

Even Japanese companies that have implemented a lifetime employment system will try to isolate you, humiliate you, and force you to resign voluntarily. In their eyes, you are a wage thief.

“I know you guys work hard overtime. There’s no slacking off above morale. If you are a fish in troubled waters, you will lose the meaning of overtime.

Our company for overtime, is not to let everyone work for nothing, are overtime pay can be taken, but also in accordance with government regulations in the overtime pay, unlike some companies just symbolic meaning, completely equivalent to in the obligation.” Masayoshi Kishimoto squarely said.

“It’s precisely because you’re generous, Chairman, that people don’t have much resistance to working overtime. If time goes on, even if one were to voluntarily work overtime, it would lead to physical inadmissibility on top of that.

It’s not easy for our company to train up a qualified regular employee. In the use of the above, or try to cherish. One of the assets of our company is them.

As for the others, I think it’s better to maximize their residual value. There are a lot of dispatch companies, employment agencies, and people looking for work on their own! There’s no shortage of cheap, cheap, good-for-nothing people among them. They are disposable chopsticks that can be thrown away after use.

This will also reduce the pressure on the company to hire, avoid the risk of hiring, and further stimulate the motivation of the regular employees, so that they will have a sense of crisis and truly understand that if they don’t work hard, they will be replaced by others.”

Nanno Takayuki was completely differentiating himself, and at the same time, he also put forward his own suggestions on employing people to the chairman.
