Chapter 588: Giving Money Away

The dishes were brought up one by one by the people from the high-class Japanese cuisine pavilion and placed in front of the guests. At the same time, the Kansai geishas also made their appearance to entertain Masayoshi Kishimoto and the others.

Kneeling beside Masayoshi Kishimoto, a geisha, as soon as she saw Masayoshi Kishimoto’s glass empty, immediately had the eyes to pour wine for each other.

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not have much interest in Japanese geisha performances. Before he had seen them, he still wanted to see them.

Nowadays, he had long since lost that mentality. He did not care at all about the difference between the Kanto geisha and the Kansai geisha in terms of performance.

Masayoshi Kishimoto had patiently accompanied the old men to enjoy the show in order to finally reach an agreement to cooperate with them. He did not do it for any other reason, but for the strategic development of the Hard Gold Group in the future.

He did not show the slightest bit of anxiety, but intentionally showed a little bit of impatience. The reason why he deliberately did so was to show someone among them.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t believe that there wasn’t someone among the bigwigs of the Kansai Pachinko Guild who was particularly good at reading people’s words. The signal he sent was to let them understand that he was not begging them to invest, but rather bringing them an opportunity to make money.

As soon as the Kansai geisha had finished their performance, the Japanese Pachinko Kansai chairman raised his hand to signal them to go out for a while so that they could talk about something.

So, the Kansai geisha left the private room one after another and closed the door behind them. They had been waiting in the other room and were not surprised by such things.

“How much do you need?” Chairman Kansai asked bluntly.

“It’s not that I need a lot of money, it’s how much can you invest? I didn’t come here specifically to raise money.

If I really needed a financing, I wouldn’t have come to Osaka. Tokyo would be able to take care of everything.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.

Chairman Kansai liked the fact that he spoke in a straightforward manner, not beating around the bush at all. He had long since learned about the Hard Gold Group’s strength from many sources.

Not to mention that Masayoshi Kishimoto was also considered to be in the circle of the pachinko industry. Adding to that, the general manager personally came out to vouch for him and introduce him, so he was not worried about handing over his money to the other party.

“There’s no way we’re going to hand over our respective real money to you just based on your words. On what basis should we trust you?” The person sitting to the right of Chairman Kansai snapped again.

“Sincerity? I am currently on my newlywed honeymoon, and I even came to meet you all in person. Is that not enough to show my sincerity?

Saying a thousand words, some of you just don’t believe that I have money. In their hearts, they suspect and guess that I am looking for you because I am short of money.

As for sending money, that’s just something I said in a grandiose and nice way. Whether it is true or not, it is useless for me to say more.

My private cruise ship worth 100 million dollars is docked at Osaka Harbor Pier 1.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner without a smile on his face.

He knew a particularly shallow truth, that it was particularly bad for poor people to borrow money. The only thing that other people are afraid of is that they will not be able to pay back the money, and that they will have to pay back the money, and there will be no return.

Rich people borrow money, is a breeze. Other people not only will not worry about its can not pay the money, and will take the initiative to chase after the money lent to you. The most typical manifestation of this is the commercial banks.

Chairman Kansai laughed and said: ”I know that you are young and talented, and you are also regarded as a once-in-a-millennium wizard by the entire Japanese financial sector.

It’s not that we don’t believe you have money, but some of us old guys are not as receptive to new things as you young people are. In our inherent thinking, it is still the same as in the past.

Even if we know in our hearts that some of the things of the past are not able to keep up with the pace of the times and the trend of development, we are not willing to admit it for fear of losing our own value.”

“You are too modest. The connections you have made in Osaka and even in the Kansai region over the course of many decades are a great asset.

For that, I have to look up to you all as well. It’s only natural that you don’t trust me. I would feel the same way if I were you.

The best way to remove mistrust between us and achieve trust is to realize sincere cooperation between both sides. In order for you to trust me, it is for me to show my sincerity.

My sincerity is what I told you earlier. If I don’t bring you good profits or solve your problems, then you won’t do me any favors in the future.

The development of the Hard Gold Group in Osaka and the entire Kansai region will be seriously jeopardized. Only by helping each other will you and I be able to achieve a win-win situation, and then each of us will be able to maximize our benefits.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

“You have to give a specific figure!” Chairman Kansai said bluntly.

“Hard Gold Capital, a subsidiary of the Hard Gold Group, has set a threshold of one billion yen above private placement investments. Today, in order to show my utmost sincerity, feel free to do as you please.

One yen is not too little for me. I wouldn’t mind a billion yen, but I wouldn’t mind a billion yen either. The more you invest, the more you will earn.

On the other hand, the less you invest, the less you will earn. When that happens, it won’t be me, Masayoshi Kishimoto, who is not honest enough with you.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto had adopted a flexible strategy just to open up the Kansai market centered on Osaka. Only by letting them make a lot of profit and feeding them, then in the time to come there would be a lot of people who would follow the trend.

The small and medium-sized investors would more or less pay attention to the investment movements of the big investors. Even if they don’t publicize the benefits, they will be used as a publicity story for themselves.

Chairman Kansai picked up the sake cup in front of him, tilted his head back and took a sip, and made a decisive decision, ”This is a sure-fire business.

I’ll invest ten billion yen in you. As for the annual rate of return, it will be no less than 12% as you said. After the matter is accomplished, the running water of all the pachinko parlors under my name, as well as other properties in the future, will be accessed through the Hard Gold Bank’s branch in Osaka.”

As soon as he took the lead, he immediately received positive responses from the others. Some offered one billion yen, while others offered five billion yen ……

“I’d like to thank you all for taking care of Hard Gold Bank more in the future. By the way, one more thing, I will stay in Osaka for a few more days, and I will accept all of them, whether you want to add more, or if you want to back out.

I’m sure you’ll pass on the news to the other members of the guild. What they choose to do is up to them.

After my ship leaves Osaka, any further changes will not be accepted. Even if money is voted in, it will not be accepted.” Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up his sake cup and toasted towards them.
