Chapter 777: Old Man
The next morning, Sakai Masao did not take time off work to send off his eldest daughter, Sakai Rie, but instead went to work with a very frustrated mood.
Just last night, he had been forced by her to personally write down a pledge and put his private seal and signature on that.
Sakai Masao was not able to sleep for the entire night. Even if he wanted to sleep, he could not. How should one sympathize with people about this one thing?
When he arrived at the bank, he sat completely withered on top of his office chair. A subordinate woman brought his favorite tea to the front, did not have any a notice.
I don’t know how long it took, but a bank staff member led the president of Shikoku Logistics into the branch president’s office.
“President Sakai, what’s wrong with you? Thinking about something major?” The president of Shikoku Logistics noticed how he was lost in thought and said.
Sakai Masao came back to his senses in a flash, and the attention of both eyes was directed towards him. The two had arranged to meet this morning.
Sakai Masao waited until one of the men served tea to the other, then closed the door and left, then said without haste, “What is your business?”
“When I come to the bank, there are only two main things, one is to deposit money and the other is to borrow money.” The president of the Shikoku Logistics Company smiled and said.
“You left out one more thing, returning money.” Masao Sakai blurted out.
“That’s right. However, I’m neither here to ask you to deposit nor borrow money, much less talk about the matter of returning money.” The president of Shikoku Logistics said bluntly.
Masao Sakai did not believe that he had come all the way to his place not to do business, but merely to come and chat with himself.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have found an excuse to come out and see off his guests. He himself was not in the habit of gossiping with others during work hours.
This one president of Shikoku Logistics sitting in front of him was, like himself, a person from the Hard Gold Group. The other party belonged to one of the five logistics companies under Hard Gold Electric.
As for this one president of his own, he was affiliated with a bank branch opened by Hard Gold Bank in the middle of Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, Shikoku.
“I heard that just last night, the president’s wife returned. Early this morning, she left our Kochi City again and flew directly back to Tokyo.” The president of Shikoku Logistics Company said in a serious manner.
Sakai Masao was not the least bit surprised that he was able to obtain such news, after all, this person who engaged in logistics would naturally have an extraordinary relationship with the airport side.
The fact that his eldest daughter came back on a private jet belonging to the Kishimoto family was even more noteworthy. Kochi Airport is not a big international airport, it is only a regional airport.
How many flights take off and land every day can be counted on one hand. These are all small airliners that specialize in regional flights, not big airliners that fly mainline flights.
Suddenly, the arrival of a hundred-million-dollar Gulfstream business jet of the most luxurious type was bound to arouse some people’s interest in the identities of the people on board.
Of course Sakai Masao would not say that his eldest daughter had come back on a special trip just to address the matter of his cheating. After a moment of silence, he had no intention of denying the fact that Sakai Rie had come to the house, even if it was useless to do so.
Instead, it added to the feeling that there was some kind of ulterior secret. The Chairman’s wife had personally made a trip back to her hometown, and had only stayed for one night before hurrying back.
If there wasn’t something important going on here, who would believe it? In fact, Rie Sakai had rushed back to Tokyo for no other reason than she was worried about her son, who was still in his infancy.
When she was away for a long time, her heart would be unsettled. Even if her home was safe and secure, and she had a professional team to take care of her son, it still didn’t give her complete peace of mind. This was the reason why mother and son were connected and blood was thicker than water.
Sakai Masao opened his mouth again, but did not answer positively, kicking the ball kicked over by the other party and kicking it back to him saying, “You asked so clearly, how many meanings are there?”
The president of the Shikoku Logistics Company had personally made a trip here, and it was certainly not for the sake of talking empty words with Masao Sakai. He was bound to have a purpose.
The president of the Shikoku Logistics Company showed a pushy look and said, “Sakai-kun, as you know, the five logistics companies under Hard Gold Denshi will be synthesized into a new logistics company.”
“This one thing you’re talking about is already an open secret within the Hard Gold Group. Since Justice has decided on something long ago, it remains by no one can change it.” Masao Sakai calmly said.
“You only know one thing but not the other. Among the five logistics companies, in terms of strength ranking, the first place has to go to Tokyo Takkyubi, followed by Kansai Logistics, followed by Kyushu Logistics, and we, Shikoku Logistics and Hokkaido Logistics, are at the bottom of the list.
Although we were merged into Hard Gold Electric and have grown considerably, the speed of development and growth still cannot catch up with the top three logistics companies.
The head office sent Kazuya Takahashi, the head of the Legal Affairs Department, together with Ryui Miyazaki, the president of Hard Gold Electric, to inspect our five logistics companies.
This is also in preparation for the future reorganization of the new logistics company. At the moment, they are making their rounds at Tokyo Takkyubin.” The president of the Shikoku Logistics Company spoke eloquently.
After hearing him say that, Masao Sakai completely understood. As soon as a company merger and reorganization or something was involved, that would inevitably involve personnel issues.
The consideration of the personnel arrangement, one would be to do the rating from the company’s size and volume, and the other would be the rating of the direct line and the non-direct line. Then, there is always the personal performance aspect.
The positions within this company are all limited in existence. In the past, there were five presidents. In the future, there will only be one president.
As for the other four presidents, there was no way that they would all become vice presidents, executive officers, or specialists. The most likely thing that will happen is that someone will be demoted, have their salary lowered, or even be dismissed and lose their job.
During this critical period, the people involved would certainly be very nervous. Not to mention that men who have passed their fifties would not dare to lose such a job. A young man may be able to feed himself and his family.
The man above this age, he is, and knows best. Not only is there an old man, a young man, need to support the family, and it is not certain that outside and a woman has a clear relationship.
Whether it’s a woman in a nightclub or a so-called good family woman, all need money. If a man doesn’t have money in his pocket, I’m afraid he won’t even be qualified to cheat.
As for women, even if they don’t have money, there will still be men who will run around her. On the contrary, a poor man would never be in such a situation. As people get older, it’s not that they don’t need money more and more, but they need it more and more.
