Chapter 220 Roppongi New Town

It was nearing noon, and the high-level meeting of Masayoshi Kishimoto and the others was still in progress. The fact that they didn’t end it for a long time also caused the employees within the group to privately talk and have all sorts of speculations, for the first time ever in the company’s history after all.

Mirai Yamada got up and left the small conference room for the time being, calling the Hiraku Premium Japanese Restaurant Kiosk directly to order lunch and have it sent over, which meant the meeting continued with a side order.

The reason why Masayoshi Kishimoto had moved to build the Hard Gold Group’s headquarters lay in the fact that time waited for no one, and opportunity waited for no one; and secondly, it was the appearance of Eisuke Iwasaki. The other party has explicitly and implicitly expressed his enlistment.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was well aware that the government had initiated a plan for a new city in Roppongi in the harbor area. This one plan in 1997, the government had officially announced the renovation announcement of the old city plan of Roppongi in Minato Ward.

In 1998, the Roppongi Redevelopment Preparatory Union was established, and in 1999, this year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Rights Transformation Plan was approved.

Roppongi New Town will be officially opened in 2003, with a total floor area of 780,000 square meters, at a total cost of about 270 billion yen by a combination of design firms such as Irie Miyake Design Office, Jet, and KPF.

Roppongi is an architectural complex that combines offices, residences, commercial facilities, cultural facilities, a hotel, a luxury cinema and a broadcasting center; it serves a variety of functions such as living, working, playing, resting, learning and creating.

Roppongi intertwines large high-rise buildings with wide sidewalks and lots of open space. The large landscaped gardens between the buildings and on the rooftops have become pivotal green spaces in crowded Tokyo, and have become a representative project of the famous old city renovation and urban complex.

Naturally, Masayoshi Kishimoto wanted to participate in this project to get a piece of the action. In the past, he would not have dared to think of this project if he was alone.

Nowadays, it was completely different. Since that day, after he and Iwasaki Eisuke had a deep conversation, he saw the opportunity. The risk was big, but it was totally worth it.

If he had the support of the Iwasaki family behind him, it would be possible for him to participate in the Roppongi New Town project in Minato Ward.

This is also Iwasaki Eisuke threw out a huge cake to tempt himself. Masayoshi Kishimoto also understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

He accepted the other side of the conditions, stood to the Mitsubishi Group’s camp inside to go, also means in the future will be involved in the Mitsubishi Group and the Mitsui Group around the top chair between the merger.

What Masayoshi Kishimoto controlled and knew was something that no one else in the small conference room had ever understood. Himself and Eisuke Iwasaki were in completely secret contact.

“You have each stated your own reasons and insights, and you do each have your own valid points. I’m just giving a proposal for the location of the headquarters.

Not only do we want to set up our headquarters within Roppongi, the harbor district, but we also want to participate in the related investment and construction.” Masayoshi Kishimoto threw out his voice.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately subsided and stopped arguing. They first froze for a moment, followed by looking at each other.

Not only did they know about the new city plan for Roppongi in the harbor area, but it had long been known that the government was planning to renovate the old city in that area.

Roppongi is what place? The land is very expensive. Even if there was strong capital to make a relevant investment in construction, it would be unattainable due to a number of factors such as insufficient connections and background.

“Justice, no, Chairman, this joke of yours is not funny at all.” Takahashi Kazuya simply didn’t believe that they, the Hard Gold Group, would be able to participate in the Roppongi New Town’s old city renovation program, saying.

“I’m not joking. I’m speaking extremely seriously.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously without a smile on his face.

“If it were true, why would we be sitting here arguing about it? The problem is that there is absolutely no such possibility.” In a nice place like Roppongi, those old construction companies with deep backgrounds have long since begun to fight, even if they aren’t all divided up on the dark side.

We can just stand on the periphery and watch the fun. What is this to go together? Can’t it be that we’re really going to go along with the new century’s Japan’s warring states era?” Nanno Takayuki did not fail to feel that Kishimoto Masayoshi was being whimsical.

“I believe that the Chairman is definitely not just making a casual delusion. There is bound to be a reason for him in this.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi had followed Kishimoto Masayoshi for many years, and was well aware that the other party acted in a style that was both bold and daring, but not in a brute force manner. This could be seen from Masayoshi Kishimoto’s investment in internet companies.

“I believe in the chairman.” Oda Feitsugu was also someone who had followed Masayoshi Kishimoto for many years. She knew clearly that the other party was not an impulsive and reckless person. Not to mention other people, even she found it too unbelievable at first glance. However, one would trust the other unconditionally.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was able to understand their surprise and dismay, “Strategically speaking, the risk is indeed high. I am afraid that after putting down a lot of money, it will result in a situation where the basket is empty, making our company lose a lot of money by breaking our bones.

This is still in the second, the more terrible is to become a target. Like our company was not established for a long time, the shallow foundation of the company, it is most likely to become a soft persimmon.

It is also easy to be despised by others. The advantage of not being taken seriously is that it doesn’t attract too much attention from others. Even you guys think I’m being whimsical, so won’t they think so? Surprise and attack.”

Takayuki Nanno said thoughtfully, “The greater the risk, the greater the profit.”

“The company is yours, you decided to do it, so let’s do it. Honestly, it’s exciting. I, Kazuya Takahashi, am doubly proud to be able to participate in such a battle in my lifetime.”

Takahashi Kazuya couldn’t help but all start to get hot and bothered. In his opinion, this one plan, regardless of success or failure, was enough to remember for a lifetime.

“How will the funding above be resolved? This will utilize a large amount of money, not a small amount, but unprecedented in our company’s history.

Although Sumitomo Bank, Mitsui Bank, Mizuho Bank, and other large banks have business dealings with us, their affiliated construction companies will also be involved in the competition.

If they do not provide us with loans or supporting related financial services, it also means pinching our lifeblood.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi had a point to make.

Masayoshi Kishimoto certainly knew that his words were not false. If a small local bank was completely unable to provide the funds or related financial services he wanted.

For this reason, he is not afraid, after all, there is one of the four major banks behind the Bank of Mitsubishi. In addition, there are funds behind the body behind the whole Japanese pachinko industry financing channels.

Let them take the money out to invest with themselves to engage in Internet companies, they certainly do not do. If they let them and their own together to engage in Roppongi’s new city plan, one will become a rush.
