Chapter 557: Famous Gentlemen
After Masayoshi Kishimoto and the rest of the group boarded the ship, it was only after Rie Sakai’s “Sail” that the Tsukigami slowly left the pier and headed out into the vast ocean.
Originally, this was a small party, so the deck under the umbrellas had already been set up with a variety of drinks and food, and even swimsuits and swimming trunks had been prepared, after all, it was in the heat of the summer.
Takahashi Kazuya led his fianc茅e Mizuhara Yuki around while giving her a variety of explanations, after all, he personally handled the entire process.
Sakai Mirei was holding champagne in her right hand, her mood was particularly complicated, but not very good. Even though the sun was shining brightly today, it made her as cold as winter inside.
There were soon men by her side who took the initiative to lean in. Beforehand, Masayoshi Kishimoto had specially asked Takahashi Kazuya to arrange for several young men from famous families to “hook up” with his sister-in-law.
The rich and handsome men who were lucky enough to be invited by Takahashi Kazuya were all quite good relations with the Takahashi family. One of them is also Takahashi Kazuya’s cousin.
Although none of them had ever seen Sakai Meiling’s face, they all knew exactly what was going on in their hearts. For this reason, it wasn’t the first time for them either.
As males, their calculations were that if the other party was good-looking, that would be the best. If the look is really not good, there is no hurry to give up.
Even if they all came from famous families, it didn’t mean they were rich. In fact, they admired Masayoshi Kishimoto from the bottom of their hearts.
In the past, just heard of Kishimoto justice is a rising figure in the Japanese financial sector, but may not think that the other side how terrific.
Today a see so a fake 100 million dollars of private cruise ship, immediately gave them a whole new person impact and understanding.
This generally rich people also can’t afford to play with such a big toy. In addition, Kishimoto justice and young, big also not older than some of them a few years, can also be said to be the same age.
Their admiration for him was born in their hearts. If they could have a solid and close bond with Masayoshi Kishimoto, then they would be able to ask each other about the way to make money.
Not only that, but he could also utilize his connections, contacts, and financial power to help his personal career and future develop well.
“Hello, I am Takahashi Kazuya’s cousin. My name is Suzuki Shinsuke. I heard from my cousin that you are also attending Keio University.
What a coincidence, I’m also attending Keio University. I’m studying business administration among the business majors.” Suzuki Shinsuke said with a kind smile.
Sakai Mirei responded with a breathless “Oh” and then casually said, “You’re the Suzuki Automobile Suzuki?”
“Yes. I am proud to be the descendant of Suzuki Motors’ founder, Michio Suzuki.” Shinsuke Suzuki said bluntly.
“When you graduate from college, you’ll be working for Suzuki Motors as well.” Mirei Sakai didn’t show any extra enthusiasm or interest just because he was a Suzuki family member.
She was no longer the girl she used to be who came from an ordinary middle-class family in Shikoku Kochi Prefecture. The tens of millions of yen she had been allotted earlier had been carried out a squander, but not without any gains at all.
In the course of her various purchases, she had also begun to understand and learn about things and enjoyment, and had broadened her horizons.
She would not at all be like several ordinary girls from middle-class backgrounds who immediately wanted to cling to the good opportunity in front of them as soon as they heard that the other party was the son of a famous family.
As for the purpose, it was nothing more than wanting to join a powerful family. However, in her opinion, the Suzuki family had many descendants. Does Suzuki Shinsuke belong to the main family, or is it a separate family?
Even if it was the main family, it still depended on how old he was, and what his position in the family was. The shareholding structure of Suzuki Motor is not concentrated in the hands of Masayoshi Kishimoto like the Hard Gold Group.
Masayoshi Kishimoto not only has absolute control over the Hard Gold Group, but also has the absolute right to speak. As far as she knew, 10% of Suzuki Motor’s shares were in the hands of General Motors of America.
The proportion of shares held by all members of the Suzuki family was not large, not even more than 5%. Not to mention that in Japan’s Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and other major car manufacturers, Suzuki Motor is considered to be quite a weak one.
“Not necessarily. I want to choose to carry out a business venture. In terms of entrepreneurship, Chairman Kishimoto is my idol.” Suzuki Shinsuke said in a serious manner.
Sakai Mirei didn’t think he was all that idealistic, upwardly mobile, or ambitious. He himself and Masayoshi Kishimoto had talked about entrepreneurship.
Even he thought that the environment for local entrepreneurship in Japan was not good, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a life of nine deaths. He thinks that his success is also due to good luck.
He also said that Japanese people’s natural character is to do things in detail, which makes the blank area in the market become less and less.
Once you have something new, there is a chance that you will be targeted by some capital. This is not necessarily a good thing if the capital has a strong interest in your stuff.
The two paths are in front of the entrepreneur, one is to accept the capital or the other is to reject it and then get completely screwed by it.
So, between weighing the pros and cons, no one would choose the second path, only compromise. Masayoshi Kishimoto had made no secret of the fact that his acquisition of the Mitsuba Bank had been a hostile takeover, a bullying of the small by the big.
On top of that, some of the investments he had made had the same logic of buying and selling. If others wouldn’t let him invest, then he would go and invest in the other party’s biggest competitor, forcing the other party to have to let him invest in himself.
Of course, he also said to himself, in the capitalist free market, weakness is the original sin, maximize their own strength to be able to better survive.
“Then you should go talk to him, how do you find me?” Sakai Meiling asked knowingly.
“I’m still just an idea, a concept, I haven’t even made a concrete business plan yet. I want to accumulate some more knowledge, as well as relevant experience, before I ask Chairman Kishimoto for more advice.” Suzuki Shinsuke justified himself.
“Is it okay for me to interpret that statement of yours like that? You’re just making empty talk in front of me.” Sakai Mirei blurted out.
“It’s not possible to say that either. I just haven’t gotten to the implementation stage yet. If you’re interested in the entrepreneurial side of things, why don’t you join into our school’s entrepreneurial department.
I’m sincerely inviting you as the minister. There are some like-minded students here. Everyone is passionate about entrepreneurship.” Suzuki Shinsuke quite literally said.
“Not for me.” Sakai Mirei was not the least bit interested in this kind of thing on paper. In this aspect, she was deeply influenced by Masayoshi Kishimoto, after all, business practice and theory were not the same thing at all.
After all, business practice and theory were not the same thing at all. A university classroom would never teach you how to bribe people, and other strategies and tactics that would be found in the real world of business.
