Chapter 266 – Crisis Guan Gong
On this day, the executives of the Hard Gold Group were all notified in advance by Mirai Yamada to hold an impromptu emergency meeting in the small conference room of the headquarters. After they had all arrived, Masayoshi Kishimoto walked in.
He first threw a newspaper he was holding in his hand directly onto the top of the conference table, before sitting down in the boss’s seat and saying, “Have you all read the relevant reports in this newspaper?”
Hard Gold Construction’s president, Yamaguchi Katsuhei, took the initiative to stand up and made a deep ninety-degree bow to him. After that, he took out his prepared resignation letter is.
Katsudaira Yamaguchi moved his feet to the side of Masayoshi Kishimoto, and with another ninety-degree bow, presented the letter of resignation with both hands in front of the other party.
Kishimoto justice did not get up, just raised his hand and took the letter of resignation in his hand and said: “Resignation as soon as a problem arises, is this an escape from responsibility? Or is he himself originally a weak man?”
“I’m sorry, I’m the one who caused you trouble.” Yamaguchi Katsuhei still maintained his ninety-degree bow and apologized.
Kishimoto Justice in front of the crowd was directly tearing the resignation letter in his hand, domineeringly saying, “I called you here to solve the problem, not to ask for your resignation letter. Go back and sit down.”
Yamaguchi Katsuhei was immediately moved. He had long since read the relevant reports on top of that one newspaper, not only targeting the hard gold construction, but also more so targeting himself, after all, all the things he did in the past were rehashed out of the old accounts.
Yamaguchi Katsudaira walked back to his seat which sat down, but also the mood is very heavy. All this trouble is because of himself.
Kishimoto justice put two eyes eyes from Yamaguchi Katsuhei there retracted, put eyes to their executives said: “What do you think?”
“It couldn’t be more obvious that it’s deliberately targeting and smearing Hard Gold Construction while also causing the image of the entire group to be tarnished to a certain extent, so it’s straightforward to sue the newspaper through legal means.
Regardless of whether we win the case or not, we will first get back a little bit of reputation and public opinion before saying anything else, showing that we are the position and attitude that people are upright and not afraid of crooked shadows.” Takahashi Kazuya was the first to vocalize.
“As I see it, this newspaper that dared to publish this side of the news is nothing more than a clown who jumped to the front of the stage at the behest of someone. There will definitely be a mastermind behind the scenes.
Whoever has the most to gain is the mastermind. It is not difficult to guess that this is definitely a competitor’s knockout punch in response to our entry into Roppongi’s old town redevelopment program.
As for the purpose, it was nothing more than wanting us to abandon that investment project. Therefore, Katsuhei Yamaguchi is not the one responsible for this incident, but rather the victim.
Even if we don’t dredge up the old scores of Katsuhei Yamaguchi, we will still find other reasons and excuses to attack us and smear us recklessly.
Soldiers come to the defense, water comes to the earth. Since the other party has already begun to make their move, then we’ll just accompany them to the end.” Nanno Takayuki expressed his personal opinion and said.
Masayoshi Kishimoto named him, “Ryosuke Natsume, as our group’s publicity minister, how will you handle this?”
Natsume Ryosuke felt that it was finally his turn to perform. This one publicity minister of his own was not just to solve a personal scandal for the chairman, but to save the day.
He spoke eloquently, “Prosecuting the newspaper is definitely the way to go. We must first stand on the high ground to direct public opinion in our favor.
In my opinion, this matter against President Yamaguchi can completely turn a crisis into an opportunity. The fact that Mr. Yamaguchi was expelled from the construction industry was not his own fault, but rather, it touched the interests of others.
Why don’t I say the entire construction industry? I believe that some people are silent, but it does not mean that they are willingly complicit.
Craftsmanship is not dead in the Japanese construction industry. It’s just that the powerless ones just chose to be a bright idea at the time.
If we are able to put up the big flag and take over the public opinion, there will definitely be people who will then take the initiative to come forward to speak clearly about that one thing back then.”
“What you said is a general direction. Even if it’s good, it needs to be implemented step by step. Nowadays, we want a practical and down-to-earth solution to this problem.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi hit the nail on the head.
“My solution is to resort to an overwhelming war of public opinion. Nowadays, TV Tokyo has been given absolute control by Hard Gold Media.
TV Tokyo’s economic program is also an existence with a place in Japan. We can make use of the best platform in our hands to do a series of specially targeted reports to clarify the whole truth.
This is the first step. The second step is to utilize the widely recruited water army on the Internet to carry out a relevant and targeted ground washing in various posting bars, forums and other places.
At the same time, we can also take aim at the person behind the attack. The third step is for President Yamaguchi himself to take the initiative to come forward and show a very strong position and attitude, determined to fight on.
If he himself gives up, I’m afraid that the people on the Hard Gold Construction side will also be negatively affected in no small way. The lightest thing is to be negative, all kinds of wait and see, and the heaviest thing is to have a wave of resignation.
As far as I know, President Yamaguchi has put his heart and soul into building Hard Gold Construction into the team it is today, which is the key to our future success.
If Hard Gold Construction’s hearts and team are scattered, even if we take Roppongi’s old city remodeling plan, it will become water without a source and wood without a root.” Natsume Ryosuke said in a serious manner.
Masayoshi Kishimoto listened carefully to what he had to say and threw in his voice, “The plan is feasible, so I’ll leave things in your hands. This is a crisis communication for us. I want total victory, not failure.
Once we fail, we will become passive, not only losing Roppongi’s old city reconstruction plan, but also making Hard Gold Construction a non-starter in the construction industry at home and abroad.
The related projects in the Gangnam area of Seoul, Korea will definitely be affected by the negative news. In addition, our entire group of subsidiaries will also suffer more or less.
This means that a long dike of a thousand miles can collapse because of a small ant hole. A hundred-foot house can be burned down by a spark from a chimney.
If we do not pay attention to these small things and still let them develop they will become big disasters and cause serious losses. I hope that you will fight this battle with sincerity and unity.”
