Chapter 065 – Business Banquet

After the president of NEXON Computer Games received a phone report from Executive Park in the first instance, he urgently summoned the company’s top executives to discuss and respond.

When they were faced with the generous conditions offered by Hard Gold Capital, there was absolutely no reason to refuse. Not to mention that it was at a time of life and death for the company.

Being able to survive was more important than anything else. If the company collapsed and went bankrupt, then everything would be over, and the ideal would become water without a source and wood without a foundation.

Finally, they reached a consensus and agreed to give 40% of the shares of NEXON Computer Games to Masayoshi Kishimoto of Hard Gold Capital.

After another day, Masayoshi Kishimoto received this positive reply from Executive Park. While he was delighted, he would not forget the landlord’s honor that he should do as the host, so he had a business banquet, and booked a private room in a high-class Japanese restaurant in Taito District to entertain Managing Director Park and his entourage.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Ryui Miyazaki appeared at the agreed place on time. The two sides had not only met a few times before, but also reached a cooperation agreement between the two companies, so the relationship was not as unfamiliar as it was initially.

After the four of them exchanged simple pleasantries and courtesies, they sat cross-legged in front of their own small four-sided table on the tatami mat, one on each side and face to face.

“The success of the cooperation between our two families this time is all thanks to Executive Director Park and our president, Masayoshi Kishimoto. I propose a toast first.” Miyazaki Ryui first picked up the sake cup in front of him and said.

Immediately after, Masayoshi Kishimoto also picked up his sake cup and said with a smile, “The first credit for the successful cooperation between our two families still lies with Executive Director Park.”

Executive Director Park similarly picked up a sake cup and smiled, “You are really too modest. It is rare to see a young man like you who has both real skills and an open mind. However, I am considered fortunate to have seen it.”

He said so above his mouth, but in his heart, he was thinking that he was a great contributor to NEXON Computer Games, and he could be said to have saved the day.

If he hadn’t pulled in Hard Gold Capital’s investment from Seoul to Tokyo for the company, I’m afraid that the company would have gone completely out of business in nine cases out of ten.

Masayoshi Kishimoto said “Cheers”, and the four of them all tilted their heads and drank the sake directly from the sake cups.

He picked up the bottle of sake on the table top and poured it, while realizing that although it was currently high class, it was not yet top class. In RB, the top business banquet is bound to have a geisha performance to cheer up, as well as her people pouring wine from the side.

Their own distance from the top business banquet there is still a certain distance to go, after all, is the expense is not expensive. However, on the current Taito District senior Japanese restaurant dining environment, food flavor, service, absolutely no say.

To be precise, is to be even better than in the past. In the Asian financial turmoil this environment, the entire restaurant industry business is not doing well.

This can still maintain the situation of the restaurant, mainly to rely on those old customers in the past to take care of more, especially the senior restaurant.

RB people have always valued long-term relationships, not one-off deals. Therefore, Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t have to call ahead to locate the sub like he did in the past, and there were openings.

On top of that, the shopkeeper saw that he was patronizing the store for the first time, and took the initiative to give each person a small gift that was unique to them. The purpose is nothing but good to establish a future relationship.

In the view of the other side, but also in the negative impact of the Asian financial turmoil to come to their kind of place for business banquet guests, then shows that its company’s efficiency is good.

When the Asian financial turmoil subsided, the economy rebounded, and the ensuing benefit is to be able to be more care of its business.

“Who does your company plan to send over in the future?” Managing Director Park naturally understood that someone else had invested in the company and still had 40% of the shares, so even though they had different rights to the same shares, they would send someone.

This matter was negotiated by him, so that meant that in the future, he would have to come out and communicate more with Hard Gold Capital’s side.

“Just this one in front of you, Miyazaki Ryui. He’s not only in charge of the NEXON computer game company, but he’s also going to be going to be in charge of the NCsoft online game company.

I intend to put Hard Gold Capital’s entire investment in Korea under his full responsibility in the future.” Masayoshi Kishimoto sidestepped and gestured with his right hand to Miyazaki Ryui, who was seated at the bottom of his head, and said.

“In the future, please take care of him.” Miyazaki Ryui waited until his boss had finished speaking before he politely bowed forty-five degrees towards Executive Park.

“You are young and talented, while President Kishimoto is even more of a man among men.” As a middle-aged greasy old man, Managing Director Park definitely had social experience.

After a few encounters between himself and them, he also saw how powerful the two were. If they didn’t have the ability and background in place, they simply wouldn’t have gotten hold of so much money in their hands to use for investment.

“I am flattered.” Masayoshi Kishimoto would not fail to understand that a business banquet was not as simple as a meal. It was likewise at work. Only, the location was shifted from the corporate office to a private room in a high-class Japanese restaurant.

“When you come to Seoul, you let me know in advance. At that time, I can send someone to pick you up.” Managing Director Park was rather polite after knowing that the person he would be dealing with for a long time in the future was Miyazaki Ryui.

“I’ll follow our president’s command in all my arrangements, just stay close to him and don’t think about anything.

If he tells me to go to Seoul, I’ll go to Seoul. If he tells me to stay in Tokyo, I’ll stay in Tokyo.” Miyazaki Ryui responded decently.

“Miyazaki-kun, you have a great future ahead of you.” Managing Director Park mistook this as him kissing Masayoshi Kishimoto’s ass in public. In his opinion, not only was it a good pat on the back, but it was also a level-headed pat on the back.

“I’m still relying on our president’s much-needed cultivation for everything. I’m willingly being his shadow.” Miyazaki Ryui said in a serious manner.

Managing Director Park’s two-eyed attention turned from him back to Masayoshi Kishimoto saying, “President Kishimoto is so blessed. Your subordinates are not only capable, but also loyal. People like this are truly hard to find in today’s society.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi’s heart was like a mirror, Miyazaki Ryui was not an ordinary employee who went to work to simply make money to support his family.

Going to work for him was not a heavy mood like going to the grave, but rather doing business. The two of them were not just a normal working relationship between a boss and an employee, but were also good friends in private.

He himself had both saved Miyazaki Ryui’s life and knew him well. The other party would be ungrateful if he didn’t show absolute loyalty to himself.

“Come, Executive Director Park, let’s have another drink.” Masayoshi Kishimoto raised his glass once again.

Managing Director Park lifted the sake cup, facing him was raised the cup outward for a bit, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in the cup inside his belly.
