Chapter 566: The Red Thread
At the top of the regular meeting of the top management of the Hard Gold Group on the following Monday, their first topic of discussion centered around the big layoffs concerning the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House.
Takayuki Nanno first opened his mouth, “Since the assets of Yuan Literature, Arts, Spring and Autumn Publishing have been split up by the chairman and assigned to Hard Gold Construction, Hard Gold Media, and Hard Gold Bank, the number of related layoffs has also been divided up by me according to this one.
As far as I can see, Hard Gold Construction has implemented the best, not only the highest signing rate, but also there is no privately organized protests by the laid-off staff.”
“It’s not that I’m not on top of things, all along, I’ve been personally urging Hard Gold Media’s HR department to do the layoffs first.
Hard Gold Construction’s method is good, the way to deal with the layoffs without signing off is to be directly sent down to the construction site to do heavy manual labor. How could some of the older white-collar workers possibly withstand that kind of torture?
So they had to be obediently forced to comply one after another to sign. However, there is no construction site on my side, and I can’t even follow the example of a gourd!
Besides, the number of layoffs assigned to me, Hard Gold Media, is the largest, and Hard Gold Construction and Hard Gold Bank together don’t have as many layoffs as I do.” Shingo Oda argued.
“I have pretty much the same problem as on President Oda’s side is that dealing with the old greasers really takes a lot of good words and tactics, but some of them just won’t sign the top of the paperwork.” Inoue Kamiji chimed in.
“It’s up to your respective personnel departments to figure out the solution, it’s not like I’m still left to figure it out for you!” Nanno Takayuki instantly raised the decibel of his voice and said.
“I didn’t mean what you said. I meant that there are difficulties and it will take some time.” Inuyasha Kamiji explained.
Masayoshi Kishimoto waited until his words had left his mouth before he said in a serious voice, “First of all, I don’t care what methods you use to get the layoffs to sign.
I only have one request, and that is that during the week of my wedding, don’t let me see anyone still protesting above the mainstream news media again.
Of course, bloodshed is not allowed. It would be extremely unlucky for me to get married. When it comes to those who are deliberately causing trouble, call the police if you have to.
The police will take care of it. Time, I can give you some relaxation. The amount of money compensation, I can also give you some relaxation, a few more money is nothing.
To put it bluntly, those people, under the guise of protest, just want a few more dollars. I still say the same thing, don’t let anything else happen during the week of my wedding.
In particular, anyone who deliberately picks the day of my wedding to cause trouble will be at odds with me, Justice Kishimoto. At that time, it will be impossible to get any more money.
You can spread the word about what I’ve said. If you’re not afraid to die, come on. I would like to see who will act as the hero?”
The conference room went silent. The crowd of people present knew that the President had sort of clearly and directly drawn a red line. They were equally well aware that Masayoshi Kishimoto’s background was very complicated.
This is not only involved in Japan’s entire pachinko industry this kind of gray area, but also there is an ulterior motive of the jianghu people, politicians ……
In a word, the red road, the black road, the white road, no matter it is that kind of color road people, he has more or less friendship.
“The president is already being courteous first. If you guys can’t handle this matter well again, I’m afraid it’s a matter of personal ability.
It’s hard to have several major events in one’s life. The marriage event is the first one.” Nanno Takayuki intentionally looked at Yamaguchi Katsuhei, Inoue Kamiji, and Oda Shingo.
Yamaguchi Katsuhei was not pressured, after all, the hard gold construction personnel minister’s method was very effective. Even if there were still a few diehard who were carrying on, they wouldn’t last long.
After a long time, they would have to give up. Nowadays, the president exerted pressure on himself. One’s self would likewise shift downwards. In the past, it was not letting them work overtime.
From today onwards, they will be allowed to work extra night shifts. The hardest and most tiring jobs are arranged for them to do, and they also find special people to keep an eye on them, not allowing any of them to have time to breathe.
As long as they dare not come, they are considered absentee. If the number of absences exceeds a certain amount, they can be legally dismissed. If it really comes to that, rather than continue to resist, it is better to take the initiative to sign the letter of separation.
Even if they can stand the physical exertion, they may not be able to stand the mental rejection. Japanese people are concerned about the team spirit, but also will see the wind rudder of the only boss to look up to.
There are people who worship high and step on low, and there are also people who fall down the well. These people naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to curry favor with their bosses.
“I don’t have any problem with that, I’ll make sure to have all of them sign their separation letters before the week of the chairman’s wedding.” Yamaguchi Katsuhei stated.
“Very well.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he flashed a smile at him.
Seeing that Yamaguchi Katsuhei had earned a compliment from the Chairman, Inoue Kamiji hurriedly made his personal attitude clear and said, “I will definitely not let them have another protest thing.
As for the matter that follows, I will personally take over the handling of it. I will directly go and negotiate with their organizers and leaders.”
“Okay.” Masayoshi Kishimoto agreed with the other party’s idea.
Shingo Oda did not follow suit. It was really not easy for him to make a stand. Although the group of people laid off from Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House did not have the slightest relationship with himself, unlike the layoffs at the time of Hori Productions, after all, he still had feelings for his old employer to a greater or lesser extent, the number of people on his own side could be the largest.
“President Yamaguchi, and President Inoue have both made a statement. President Oda, aren’t you going to say anything?” Nanno Takayuki’s pair of eyes were staring at him tightly as he said.
Shingo Oda knew in his heart that it would definitely be unpalatable for him to say that he was having difficulties again. If he said something grandiose against the reality of the situation, it wouldn’t work.
There was no guarantee that he wouldn’t be caught in the act later on and attacked vigorously. Furthermore, the group of people who were laid off were not under his control.
“President Oda, if you’re still having trouble, why don’t I recommend someone to handle it for you?” Nanno Takayuki wasn’t just saying that for fun.
Shingo Oda wasn’t a fool. If he really agreed to it, wouldn’t it show that his own personal ability is not good, and he is no longer suitable to continue to be the president of this company? Not only that, the person recommended by the other party will likely become the person who will take over the position of his own president in the future.
“I did my best to keep things from happening that shouldn’t have happened. As the president said earlier, I also believe that the original purpose of their protest was to ask for more compensation.” Shingo Oda could only be vague.
Nanno Takayuki sneered a bit and said, “Is that a response to me, or to the Chairman?”
“Neither. I’m just being honest.” Shingo Oda said seriously.
