Chapter 241: New Ideas

“First, call Wang Lin to the headquarters for a training session, and have the Personnel Department conduct an assessment in every aspect. If she is fully qualified, the head of the Flower City office in mainland China will be her.

Wang Lin studied in Japan in her early years, which means that there should not be any problems with her Japanese. There shouldn’t be many barriers to communication, it’s quite convenient.

Instead, the Personnel Department will recommend someone else. Then there is the secretary’s office that needs to be added. For this one, I don’t want anyone with relevant work experience.

All of them will be selected from the fresh college students who will be recruited in the spring and fall. It’s better to have the best of the best than the worst of the worst, just the best of the best.” Masayoshi Kishimoto clapped his hands.

Seeing that he kept adding to the work of the Personnel Department, Nanno Takayuki could only do as he was told. The only thing he could console himself with was that the hard work wouldn’t be in vain, there was a reward after all.

For his subordinates, money was still the biggest driver. However, for him, what he wanted most was not money, but a promotion.

“Don’t think that you guys in the Personnel Department are the ones who work the hardest. The Planning Department is not only harder than you, but also under more pressure.

I’ve said over and over again that Roppongi’s new city plan doesn’t concern the survival of our group, but it concerns our future development.

If we don’t succeed in winning this investment project, I can’t guarantee that I won’t fire those who work against us.

After Yamaguchi Katsuhei relocated Hard Gold Construction back from Seoul, Korea, the pressure on him will not be small. Your personnel department is still sitting inside the office with the air conditioner blowing, even if you’re working hard.

Katsudaira Yamaguchi, even as the president, regardless of the spring, summer, fall and winter, the weather is very hot, or shivering in the cold, still have to go to the construction site from time to time to personally check and supervise the progress of the relevant work.

Accidents can happen at any time on the construction site. Accidents can be as serious as injuries, or as fatal as a person’s life.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke eloquently.

“For the head of the group company’s publicity department, I’ve identified a good person, and I’ve been in contact with him many times over and over again. He’s a graduate of Hitotsubashi University and a former press officer in the government.

The reason why he chose to resign and leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was because he made a big mistake in standing up for himself, and completely cut his political life short.

Nowadays, he’s working for a small newspaper as its editor-in-chief.” Takayuki Nanno made progress in his headhunting, so he made a report and said.

“Good job. Send the detailed personal information you mentioned about this person to my office.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a slight approval.

“Understood.” Nanno Takayuki replied succinctly.

“Do you have anything else to report? If not, then the meeting is adjourned. Kobayashi Kiyoshi stays behind for a bit.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke bluntly.

Aside from the seated Kobayashi Kiyoshi, who did not move, the rest of the people got up one after another and left the conference room. Each returned to their respective departments.

“The fact that our group company exchanges so much money, always through other banks, on the one hand, makes me feel not very solid, and on the other hand, such a great benefit would be cheap for nothing.” Masayoshi Kishimoto voiced his worries and thoughts saying.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi was originally from the banking industry. As soon as he heard the chairman say this, he understood and said, “Chairman, do you mean that you want to establish a private asset management bank that falls under our Hard Gold Group. This would be somewhat similar to the Rothschild Bank.”

“Establishing a bank under our group of companies will not happen overnight, but now there is an opportunity in front of me.

A local bank in my hometown Kochi is about to lay off its staff. It’s not too big, so can we make an acquisition of the whole thing on this?” Masayoshi Kishimoto had another idea in mind about what Mirei Sakai had told him that day.

“It’s possible. The middle and upper management will all be replaced with our people. As for the middle and lower management, those who can be used will stay, and those who can’t will be fired directly.

The same goes for ordinary employees. We’re kind of a borrowed shell. However, I’m thinking of looking for another small bank above the Tokyo border.

Of course, if you, Chairman, have something else with the Kochi Prefecture side, that’s a different story.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi also knew that government officials from the chairman’s hometown had approached him to talk about investments, saying.

“You have a point. It’s still a good idea to choose a small bank located in Tokyo as the basis for the establishment. In addition to our group company’s capital, the cash flow from the entire pachinko industry will be able to come in quite a bit.” Masayoshi Kishimoto roughly talked about his conception and said.

“Although we don’t have to develop bank branches to absorb cash deposits from among the general public, the personnel aspect is a big problem.

Nowadays, Takayuki Nanno is already screaming for help. He’s all burnt out over this. May I suggest that the chairman can delay this?” Kobayashi Kiyoshi voiced his true opinion saying.

“There’s no rush at all. It won’t be too late to bring up the agenda for last Monday morning’s meeting after we’ve successfully taken Roppongi’s new city plans.

I’m giving you a heads up in advance with the intention of preparing your mind. Even if the Hard Gold Bank enters the formal preparatory stage, it will still draw manpower from your Hard Gold Capital.

This finance-related work, only your people are the most specialized.” Masayoshi Kishimoto also knew that the current focus was there. He couldn’t rush things and subsequently distract his energy and capital dao.

“Understood. I will actively make preparations.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi replied seriously.

“It will also take quite a bit of time just to choose a suitable bank from above the Tokyo border to be the target of our future acquisition.

Just make sure you have it in mind first. For the training and examination of the new employees within Hard Gold Capital, you should favor the abilities related to the banking industry.

As for the old staff, you have to select some people who can be useful in the future. This plan is in your hands.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke out a plan for the future.

After Kobayashi Kiyoshi clarified his new task, he shared his thoughts, “I have an idea, is it possible for Hard Gold Capital to relocate to Marunouchi in Chiyoda-ku? The biggest advantage of this would be in the work that can be done and the gathering of intelligence.”

“It’s possible. You guys relocated away as a whole, which in turn frees up more space for us here at the main office. The company is growing at a rapid pace, and with it the business, there are more and more people on top of the personnel.

The training of newcomers still has to be carried out by the Personnel Department here at the headquarters, and then they’ll be assigned to your side one by one.” Justice Kishimoto adopted this one of his proposals and said.
