Chapter 643: Children’s School
After Kitagawa Eiko left, Yamada Mirai, who had personally conducted a record of the conversation, asked in a puzzled manner, “Boss, there’s something I don’t understand.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto sat on top of his presidential throne and said succinctly, “Speak.”
“Our Hard Gold Group employs over 40,000 people worldwide. Even counting only the number of employees in the Tokyo metropolitan area, there are around 20,000 people.
Subtracting the number of unofficial members, there are also at least 7,000 to 8,000 official members. If you only need 10 places on the other side, it’s a total drop in the bucket.
At that time, employees who want to send their children to that school will not only have to take the initiative to make an application for one, but will also have to go through the necessary lottery.” Yamada Mirai said as she harmonized what was on her mind.
Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned his back on the top of his chair and laughed, “If I came up and asked the other party for 100 places, or even more. What do you think the other party would think?
I’m afraid they would be scared off by me, which means it would be difficult for both sides to continue the negotiation. If the other side says whatever they want, I’ll take it all.
What will the other party think? They will surely think that there is fraud. In fact, the reason is very simple. Long-term business people know a truth, there will never be a single business will go smoothly.
In the middle of the process will always appear this or that problem needs to be solved. A business without problems would only be an artificially set up scam.
The thing that Eiko Kitagawa and the others are most worried about is that they are afraid of inviting the wolf into the house and being swallowed up by us. However, if they don’t use external forces, they won’t be able to solve the problem of rushing to the market.
As long as they are listed, we can always adjust our strategy according to our needs.
It’s not like we haven’t done it before by quietly acquiring their shares in the secondary market, that is, above the stock market. In addition, we can also secretly contact some of the major shareholders, so as to buy their respective hands of stock for my use.
As long as we become their largest shareholder and achieve absolute control, then how all the rules change and adjust in the future is still not up to us.”
Yamada Mirai laughed as realization dawned on her, “Chairman, you’re fishing again.”
“I am seeking more and better benefits for the employees of the Hard Gold Group. It’s not unlikely that one day that educational group will become a sub-school under our Hard Gold Group.”
This one idea of Masayoshi Kishimoto’s was not new. In his previous life, Ben had worked in a large state-owned enterprise.
This large state-owned enterprise with tens of thousands of employees was all encompassing in its heyday. Not only did it have its own kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, but it also had a hospital, a meat factory, and so on.
All along, he did not feel that this kind of big family work and life pattern is unreasonable existence. The problem lies in the unclear ownership of large state-owned enterprises and the complexity of Chinese human relations.
This leads to all kinds of problems, big and small. Unlike Japan, which is a highly developed privately owned society. The relationship between people is relatively more indifferent.
The Hard Gold Group is his. He alone, after all, personal shareholding occupies more than 95%. Anyone who wants to withdraw their shares can do so at any time, and he has the right of first refusal to buy them back.
He was the supreme being of the Hard Gold Group, and there was no need to call any general meeting to discuss a certain issue and explain it to the shareholders.
As long as he decides to do something, then he will definitely do it, completely the style of a pen. Moreover, in the current Japanese socio-economic environment, the ratio between informal and formal employment is basically 50/50.
Even if you become an official member of a company, you will face long hours of overtime and high pressure. When someone gets sick, they are afraid to take time off work.
One has to provide a relatively safe haven for his employees. Of course, this is not for charity, much less for nothing.
What he wants is for them to work hard for him single-mindedly and create more value. The Japanese have created a life-long employment system, the annual merit sequence system …… for the sole purpose of better stabilizing the company’s internal.
In the past, the reason why these advanced corporate innovations gradually collapsed and disintegrated was that the Japanese economy was no longer as strong as it had been in the past.
However, the Hard Gold Group was different, and was completely just flourishing, with more than enough economic strength to provide more security for its employees.
“What if, just hypothetically, the education group that Eiko Kitagawa works for doesn’t agree?” Yamada Mirai asked in a serious tone.
“If they don’t agree, we’ll look for another person we can work with. However, I don’t think the probability of them disagreeing is high.
Their first and foremost priority is still to go public to raise more funds for a new round of business expansion and development.
As in South America, there is a kind of frog that is very gluttonous. They not only will even swallow their own kind, but also often see the small head to eat the big head.
Even if there is a high risk of choking to death, the small one does not spit out. It has long understood a survival truth, either to grow itself to eat other, or to be eaten by other.
People in the face of great temptation, often only see what is in front of them, thus ignoring the danger that may appear behind them. There is a Chinese idiom that says, “The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow bird is at the back”. I am this yellow bird.
If Kitagawa Eiko had a better way, she wouldn’t have borrowed her own sister, Yanai Masayoshi’s wife’s way to hook up with my wife, and then turned to my side.
Furthermore, the additional conditions I offered were not harsh at all. Even if some of the shareholders objected, it would only be a fairness issue, but it would be difficult to sway some of them to agree to cooperate with us.
The way of survival, not necessarily are big eat small, may also be small eat big, and the way of business is a game of interests, that what absolute fairness can be said.
Even if this thing finally yellow, we have no loss, only to put the hard gold group children’s school this plan to slow down the promotion only.
I believe that they will not be unaware of the fact that with the financial support of our Hard Gold Group and its escort in the financial market, they will dare to take bigger steps and go faster.
Once the school’s reputation is up, students will naturally come in a steady stream. It’s not impossible for them to grow bigger and stronger and compete with the traditional schools in Tokyo.
For them, it was something exciting and blood boiling. A poor loser staged a perfect comeback against a rich white girl.
If this one ends up being negotiated, the quota or whatever stays in your secretary’s office.” Justice Kishimoto spoke eloquently.
