Chapter 136 Pooling of Funds
Rumiko Kato carried the brewed cup of tea on a tray and walked into the president’s office without haste. As soon as she bent down and raised her hand, the porcelain teacup with the color of the imitation Chinese Song Dynasty Ru Kiln was flatly placed in front of the owner of the Hi-Lo Fine Dining Pavilion.
After Rumiko Kato was done, she silently retreated. In recent times, she felt like her main job was making tea for visitors.
Although Hard Gold Capital had expanded its staff, there were no newcomers in the administrative section. The matter of serving tea and pouring water still fell on her.
For this reason, Kato Rumiko did not have anything to complain about, after all, there are still many people outside the company who want to serve tea and water like this are not yet able to.
As long as she didn’t want to do it, there were a lot of people lining up outside to take over. She is not stupid, obviously just watched with their own eyes the company as the rising sun general, more and more red hot. Resignation? It was absolutely impossible.
“When I came in just now, I saw the branch manager of the Sumitomo Bank’s Taito City Ueno branch in your place. What, are you guys friends?” The boss’s wife wasn’t looking for something to say without words, but said with a purposeful and targeted approach.
“I can’t talk about friends between me and him yet, just a normal business relationship. It’s the same as you and I’s relationship is.” Masayoshi Kishimoto had a word to say.
“Once again, you’re breaking my heart by saying that. The branch chief of the Sumitomo Bank in Ueno, Taito District is at least an acquaintance of my one small cooking pavilion.
Even if it’s a business relationship, there’s still a little bit above friendship.” The boss’s wife put her hands folded together on her chest and said.
“I’m sorry, I’ve hurt your feelings twice today.” Justice Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“Since you’ve admitted to breaking my heart twice, then isn’t it possible to be a little more accommodating, or let me participate in the investment?” The boss’s wife said seriously.
“No way.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said firmly.
“You’re a young man, how could you be so thin-skinned?” The boss’s wife snapped.
“I’m sure you saw when you came in that I’ve been busy here. I’m also considering whether or not to raise the minimum investment threshold to one billion yen?
If I accommodate you once, I’ll have to accommodate others an unknown number of times afterward. At that time, the number of people coming to my place will become much higher.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto, on the one hand, genuinely didn’t see her for some money, and on the other hand, the headline profit of any company was created by that 1% of big customers, not the many retail customers.
The boss’s wife said with a pouty tone of voice, “Is there, like, not a single star of negotiation left anymore?”
“I’m so busy now, and still talk to you for so long, also should understand is not slow to treat you. You really want to take the money to make an investment, it is not impossible.
I do have a workaround here, if you don’t have enough money alone, then you can privately find a few more people to pool their money together to 100 million yen. Then, you can take the lead and bring the 100 million yen to me.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto did not care at all whether she had the 100 million yen, but rather, he looked at the network of contacts behind her in the Japanese-style haute cuisine pavilion industry.
The people who were able to go in and out of the Japanese-style high-class cuisine pavilions would definitely not be ordinary people. Japan’s ordinary citizens want to consume, but also can not afford to consume, or can not afford to spend that kind of money.
He or she is to be through them some of the operation of Japanese-style senior cuisine pavilion people’s mouth is word of mouth, and then good to some words into their store within the ears of some diners to go.
The boss’s wife did not feel in her heart that the other party’s idea was not really a bad idea, but a way. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that it was real.
Nowadays, this young man in front of her here cash deposits flow than the bank are more. That fully explained why the branch manager of the Sumitomo Bank’s Taito City Ueno branch was busy here.
This was even someone who personally brought in two, three hundred million yen, or even ten million dollars, and still had to wait patiently in line, not to mention someone like himself who couldn’t even reach the minimum threshold of one hundred million yen yet.
“Is there really only that one way you said?” The boss’s wife said, still undeterred.
Masayoshi Kishimoto nodded his head at her and said, “Other than that, there’s nothing more I can do.”
“Alright! I’ll leave it at that and go back to the phone right now to call and gather more of my little sisters to confer about this one collection.” The boss’s wife moaned in a sickly way.
“I won’t see you out then.” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t even make a move to try to get up and said.
“No need for you to send me out, I know the way. We have to make a deal, when I come in with 100 million yen from my fundraising, you’re not allowed to say anything about the threshold having risen to a billion yen.” The boss’s wife stood up and stood up, both eyes staring tightly at him in a serious manner.
“Even if the minimum threshold for investment goes up, it won’t affect you. Who made me promise you first?” Justice Kishimoto smiled and said.
“That’s fine. We can make a deal.” The boss’s wife was just worried that the other party would change his mind when the time came, and with her left hand, she put up her index finger and said.
“A gentleman’s word is a promise.” Masayoshi Kishimoto made a pledge above his personal credit and said.
The boss’s wife nodded her head with satisfaction, only then did she turn her back and start to walk towards the outside. Before she could take two steps, she saw Inoue Kazuhiko walking straight towards her.
The boss’s wife remembered this man clearly in her head, after all, he was the one who had spent the average of twenty normal customers with Masayoshi Kishimoto at his restaurant that night. Not only that, he had also invested two billion yen.
The boss’s wife immediately sidestepped to one side and took the initiative to bow forty-five degrees towards her, greeting her with a smile, “Long time no see. I didn’t expect to be able to meet you here.”
Kazuhiko Inoue did not slow down his pace. He walked over to the sofa on the right side and after turning to sit down, it was only then that he raised his head slightly to look at this one Obasan (sister-in-law, aunt, middle-aged woman) who still had a few moments of good looks left.
He blurted out, “Do we know each other?”
The boss’s wife was instantly in a state of embarrassment. The smile on her face instantly froze, and her entire body began to petrify, neither leaving nor staying.
Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to find a step down for her and rounded up the situation, “Kazuhiko, you must have been drunk and disconnected that night.
What, have you completely forgotten all about the time you ate and drank with me at the Kiraku Cuisine Pavilion? This one in front of you is the lady in charge of the Kiraku Cuisine Pavilion.”
“Oh, after you reminded me of that, I remembered that there was indeed such a thing.” It was then that Inoue Kazuhiko recalled and said.
He paused for a moment, and it was only then that he looked over to the boss lady’s side again, and then added, “I came here to find Justice to have a drink together in the evening. Since you happen to be in, then I’ll reserve one of the best private rooms from you.”
