Chapter 785: Lunch
In Japan, it wasn’t strange for a man to eat yakitori, it wasn’t strange for a man and a woman to eat yakitori together, and it wasn’t strange for two women to eat yakitori together.
It would be even less strange if there was a group of people eating yakitori together, the only thing that became a little strange was two men eating yakitori together.
In Osaka, inside a high-class Japanese barbecue room, Miyazaki Ryui and Takahashi Kazuya were sitting face to face eating barbecue and drinking wine at the same time.
There was indeed something anticlimactic about two grown men doing something like this in Japan. They were strong enough inside to not care about what others thought or looked at.
“What do you think about that meal at noon today?” Takahashi Kazuya asked in a targeted manner.
“This president of Kansai Logistics took us all not outside to eat fancy dishes, but chose to eat at the internal staff cafeteria. He’s rather a dedicated and diligent and pragmatic person.” Miyazaki Ryui said bluntly.
“It can’t be a deliberate show in front of us, right?” Kazuya Takahashi was skeptical.
“It doesn’t look like it to me. In this critical period, these people who are not rushing to flatter us, so that they can get a high rating, is to be able to have their own place within the core management team of the new logistics company in the future.
You also ate lunch. Although the ingredients are very common, but there are meat, vegetables, with a reasonable combination. How was the flavor? It’s still good, right?
In addition to the four sets of A, B, C, and D to choose from, there was also ramen. What we ate and what the crowd ate was exactly the same, and there wasn’t a single special favor.
The regular meals in the cafeteria were generally not good, if not to the point of being unpalatable. When you and I were in college, we all ate the cafeteria food inside the school.
This company cafeteria and school cafeteria, generally are on a level above almost. I’m afraid that not many of the top executives within the company would eat from their own cafeteria.” Miyazaki Ryui calmly said.
Takahashi Kazuya suddenly realized, “You mean to say that the president of Kansai Logistics Company has done a good job with the internal cafeteria, which is a side reflection of how meticulous he has made the management work.
The company cafeteria tends to be one of the places he pays the least attention to; after all, one can go without eating there. As for the general staff to eat how, taste good, is completely indifferent.
Love to eat on eat, do not love to eat out to eat. There are also quite a few people who don’t want to shell out more money out and put up with it in order to figure out that the company cafeteria is cheap or free.”
“Exactly what you said about this one.” Miyazaki Ryui blurted out.
“The president of Kansai Logistics is still doing a great job. There’s nothing to say about the performance, it’s been at a consistently high level of growth.
This person is also able to consider the well-being of the grassroots employees, and is able to sit in the cafeteria and eat himself, which is not only rare and has a pro-people side, but also reflects his own innocence.” Kazuya Takahashi said thoughtfully as he grilled the meat.
“In comparison, the president of Tokyo Takkyubin is much more worldly and smooth than the president of Kansai Logistics. At the former, we not only eat well and have fun, but we also receive gifts.
I’m afraid that we won’t be able to get any real benefits from the latter.” Miyazaki Ryui couldn’t help but laugh and said.
“We as executives of the Hard Gold Group of Companies. As long as the company gets better and better, then our annual income and dividends will also increase.
On the contrary, if the Hard Gold Group of Companies falls into a business crisis or is no longer around, then we may not be able to get out in one piece.” Takahashi Kazuya didn’t get carried away because of some small favors that others had done to him, saying.
“The reasoning is something like that. If we keep the president of Tokyo Takkyubin, it will be even easier to use it in the future. If you spend money at a certain club, or if your family travels domestically or abroad,……, you can transfer your personal bills to him to take care of them for you.
In this way, I don’t need to take out a single yen from my personal wallet.” Although Miyazaki Ryui was joking, he also spoke out a corrupt insider’s word inside a large company.
“President Miyazaki, you’ve done it? Otherwise, how could you know so well.” Takahashi Kazuya then laughed along with him and said.
“If I really did what I said, I would be ashamed of the Chairman for saving my life on one hand, and for knowing me on the other.
Without the Chairman, there would be no Miyazaki Ryui today. Everything I have is because of the trust that the Chairman has given me. The Chairman has done so much for me.
In addition to doing my job to the best of my ability, I have been absolutely loyal and managed the Hard Gold Denshi for him.” Miyazaki Ryui wasn’t being sycophantic, but was speaking truthfully.
“However, your efforts on top of fighting corruption within the company are far from enough.” Takahashi Kazuya didn’t beat around the bush and said.
“Fighting corruption is not easy. Just like these two presidents we talked about earlier. The president of Tokyo Takkyubi has a problem with corruption, but he still does his job well too.
If he had performed poorly, I would have taken him and his inner circle down long ago. There is still the question of who should replace them after they have been fired.
It is not necessary to stop the normal operation of the company in order to combat corruption! Or with a less capable person to carry out a replacement?
As the president always says, use the best person for the job, and take the best person for the job. Tokyo Takkyubin’s performance is also noteworthy. In terms of approach and strategy, the two men simply used different management and business tactics.
In my opinion, no matter what tactics are used, as long as they can make the company’s performance go up, they are good tactics. Besides, you and I both know that it is simply impossible to be completely clean in the business world.” Miyazaki Ryui spoke eloquently.
“This should be the winning strategy that enabled your Hard Gold Denshi to realize a turnaround in the shortest possible time!” Kazuya Takahashi hit the nail on the head.
“It was the Chairman who taught me well. Use people to take the greater good. Nowadays, since we’re merging five logistics companies into one, there’s every chance that some of the presidents will be replaced by another.
The president of Tokyo Takkyubin is not the only option at the moment. Moreover, the establishment of an inspection department headed by Toshikazu Nakayama at the group’s head office fully reflected the chairman’s determination to fight corruption internally.
As the Chairman’s first vassal, it’s only natural for me to maintain a high degree of consistency with him above my thoughts.” Miyazaki Ryui said seriously.
Takahashi Kazuya smiled and nodded without saying anything. He and could not fail to understand that this person who was able to be one of the group’s top executives was bound to have outstanding qualities.
In his own opinion, Miyazaki Ryui’s most outstanding feature was not how outstanding his operation and management ability was, but rather that the other party knew how to understand the upper intention.
