Chapter 247: Integrating Resources
Masayoshi Kishimoto had been invited by the General President of Pachinko to attend the current session of the industry’s internal meeting located in the Tokyo area. Those attending the meeting included, in addition to him, the branch presidents of Tokyo’s 23 special wards and the 26 cities under their jurisdiction.
The president is also the president of Chuo Ward, while the other two vice presidents are the president of Shinjuku Ward and the president of Setagaya Ward. The total number of people was 50.
Inside these people, the Adachi branch president Inoue Kazuhiko and the Taito branch president had the most friendship with Masayoshi Kishimoto, followed by the Koto, Sumida, and Edogawa branch presidents among the seven districts in the eastern part of the city.
Even so, Masayoshi Kishimoto’s heart is the most clear but, only interests can tie them closely together.
Other than that, it’s all just vanity. In this world, friends are only temporary, and benefits are eternal.
If you want to impress them and gain support from them, then you have to start from moving them with love and understanding them with benefits.
The president of the General Assembly personally presided over the meeting and said: “This young man beside me, some of you know, some of you do not know.
His name is Masayoshi Kishimoto, and he is currently the president of the Hard Gold Group. Before this, he was also in our line of work, and the store is located in Ueno, Taito District.
Today, the reason why I invited him here, that’s so that we can all have one more channel to make money in an honorable and legal manner.”
As soon as he spoke, it was only then that he looked towards Masayoshi Kishimoto, who had been purposely arranged to sit on his left hand side, with the intention of having him explain a relevant investment program to the crowd on stage.
Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to stand and rise. He first bowed forty-five degrees toward the stage, then went straight to the point and said, “The investment project I brought is the Roppongi new town plan.”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd under the stage began to stir. Some people began to talk to each other, some people were surprised, and some people were shaking their heads straight ……
“Everyone be quiet for a moment. One by one, you guys first listen to his words before you say anything.” The General President stretched out his right hand and struck the tabletop twice.
Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke once more without haste, “I know that many of you feel that this investment project of mine is a fantasy.
For this reason, I can fully understand. The main purpose of my coming here is not to raise funds from all of you here. What I want is your connections.
If I add the 49 of you here, that’s exactly 50 people. If we consolidate our individual connections, won’t the Roppongi New Town investment project no longer seem like a fantasy?”
The crowd on stage couldn’t help but start talking again. This time, some people began to make a shift in attitude. They were each calculating in their hearts that it was guaranteed to work.
Masayoshi Kishimoto stretched out his palms and showed them both positively and negatively, saying, “The power of one finger is always limited.
Five fingers can become a fist, then ten fingers are two fists. These two fists are more powerful than one fist. That’s why I need you to come with me to complete the Roppongi’s new city investment project.”
Kazuhiko Inoue, who was sitting on the stage, was tangibly benefiting from the previous investment in some of the planned projects provided by Masayoshi Kishimoto.
Therefore, he couldn’t wait to stand up and immediately stated, “I fully support you. Whether you want money or people, I will unconditionally give you my full support.”
The Taito District branch president was also one of the beneficiaries of the past investment in the program provided by Justice Kishimoto. He himself believed that the other party would be able to make it profitable again.
He was rather much more composed than Inoue Kazuhiko appeared to be saying, “Personally, I feel that Roppongi’s new city investment project is worth going for.
Although there is definitely a small risk involved, but who among us fucking Pachinko people would really be afraid of risk?
If we were afraid of risk, who would be in this business? Even if there was something we could do to make a lot of money without any risk, it wouldn’t be our turn to do it.
Moreover, Masayoshi Kishimoto said beforehand that his main purpose of coming here is not to raise funds from us, but to ask us to provide connections.
What does that tell us? Whether or not Roppongi’s new city investment project can be successfully taken down is not a matter of money, but a matter of people.
As long as the project is successfully taken, there will be no shortage of people who will take the initiative to offer money with both hands. At that time, the shareholding quota is absolutely very limited ah!
A well-known objective fact. Nowadays, some people lack what? Not money, but a good project.”
“That’s not what you two are saying. I know that you and Masayoshi Kishimoto have a good personal relationship. There’s no guarantee that you guys aren’t acting as a shill for him in this.” The Northern District’s chapter president expressed his personal opinion and said.
“Who the hell are you calling a shill? Don’t open your mouth and talk nonsense here. Love to vote or not, one more of you is no more, one less of you is no less.” Inoue Kazuhiko’s violent temper instantly came up and said.
“I’m just stating an objective fact. You are indeed suspected of working together to swindle everyone!” The Northern District’s branch chairman shot up and said.
Inoue Kazuhiko was slandered by the other party, directly unable to suppress the nameless fire in his heart, his hands clenched tightly and rushed up to punch someone.
The bystanders hurriedly pulled Inoue Kazuhiko back and said: “Don’t be impulsive, have a good conversation. Besides, we are all decent people, how can we make a move? It’s not like we’re yakuza.”
“Am I the one not speaking properly? It’s clearly him who is taking the initiative to provoke! Even if you don’t vote, no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to have to vote.
You’re saying that the Taito District’s branch chairman and I are trustees, do you have any proof?” Kazuhiko Inoue looked angrily at the Northern District’s branch chairman and snapped.
“The proof is that you do indeed have a deep personal relationship with Masayoshi Kishimoto. Do you dare to deny this?” The Northern District’s branch president did not show any weakness.
Kazuhiko Inoue countered, “Not only do I admit to having a good personal relationship with Masayoshi Kishimoto, but I also admit that old me is having an affair with your wife.”
The Northern District’s sub-chairman instantly lost his face and said, “Fuck you, have the guts to say that again.”
“Will I still be afraid of you? Don’t say it once, ten thousand times is fine. Don’t fucking bullshit, if you’re a man, go out and fight one on one.” Inoue Kazuhiko said without fear.
The Chief General Manager stood up with an iron face and roared in a strong voice, “Shut up, both of you. Are we a yakuza party here?
Do we need to find a place according to the rules of the jianghu, so that each of you can bring your own people for a firefight? If you have something to say, say it properly.”
