Chapter 786: Not the same person
Takahashi Kazuya picked up the wine glass in his right hand and tilted his head back to take a sip. He put the empty glass down and while pouring his own wine, he casually said, “Osaka people think they are real.
When he looks at us Tokyoites, he thinks he is smooth. When we Tokyoites look at Osaka people, we don’t fail to feel that they are full of the copper odor and petty calculations of peddlers.”
Miyazaki Ryui not only knew that he was a native Tokyoite, but also a native and quality harbor area man. Saying that in the other man’s mouth was more than a joke.
“I’m from Aomori. Both a country bumpkin in the eyes of the Tokyoites and a barbarian in the heart of the savage lands of Osaka.” Miyazaki Ryui said and burst into laughter saying.
“Have you heard, but Yamaguchi Katsuhei is in Osaka. Shouldn’t we take the initiative to meet him once?” Takahashi Kazuya suddenly got thoughtful and said.
“There’s no need for us to take the initiative to meet him! We are quite different in age and have different philosophies, so I’m afraid it would be difficult to truly come together.
Besides, he may not have been looking down on us juniors in his mind. Of course, the president is the exception. The president has the honor of knowing him and recreating his life for him.
You and I are also from a prestigious university, while he is just a junior high school graduate, one of the leaders of the non-academic school. What would the three of us be able to talk about when we really met?
At least in my opinion, he definitely wouldn’t be on the same page as us. Even if we look for an alliance, it won’t work out. It’s still us doing our thing and him doing his thing.”
Miyazaki Ryui, in the spirit of the idea that he and Takahashi Kazuya were the ones who were along for the ride, was not hiding anything. He put it quite thoroughly Dao.
“Katsuhei Yamaguchi isn’t just in Osaka, but will be based here for quite some time to come. He’s here to develop the real estate projects here on the one hand, and to build our Hard Gold Group’s second headquarters on the other.
There’s just one thing I don’t understand, there isn’t much investment from our Hard Gold Group over here in Osaka, and the headquarters of several subsidiaries and several grandchildren are all in Tokyo, so why is the chairman so attached to it?” Takahashi Kazuya said bluntly.
“Japan’s 128 million people, although scattered over four large islands, but the population is still mainly concentrated in Tokyo and Osaka, the two international metropolises that represent the center of Kanto and Kansai respectively.
As long as the economic lifelines of these two cities are firmly controlled, it is the same as controlling the economic lifelines of the whole of Japan.
Just because the Hard Gold Group doesn’t have any properties in Osaka now, it doesn’t mean that it won’t have any in the future. In the beginning, when our hard gold group started, even in Tokyo, there is not much industry!
Nowadays, our business includes finance, investment, banking, real estate, media, entertainment, logistics, online shopping, and so on.
If the chairman is determined to move some companies, it’s not a matter of his word.” Miyazaki Ryui said slowly.
“That’s true. However, who would willingly move away from the center of power? The presidents of some of the companies this relocated from Tokyo to Osaka would be old and unhappy by then.
Although they won’t have to experience the fate of the presidents of the five logistics companies at the moment, they’ll always feel that they’ve been sidelined.” Kazuya Takahashi had a word to say.
“Actually, in my opinion, there’s nothing wrong here in Osaka. Of course, it’s natural for someone like you, who was born and raised or whose home is in Tokyo, to have a certain amount of resistance.
As for me, there really aren’t any negative emotions. As you know, I can be considered to have traveled all over the world for so many years.
First I was in Tokyo, Japan, then I went to Seoul, Korea, then I went to San Francisco, USA, and now I’m back in Tokyo, Japan.
If the chairman wants us, Hard Gold Denshi, to relocate to Osaka or transfer me to Osaka at some point in time, I definitely won’t have any petty emotions.” Miyazaki Ryui said frankly.
“This coming to Osaka would be far from home, which is not a bad thing.” Takahashi Kazuya suddenly had a flash of light inside his head, not without thinking of the fact that he and Mizuhara Yuki could totally relocate from Tokyo and come to this side of Osaka to live a carefree two-person world.
By then, wouldn’t the trouble surrounding them be gone? He didn’t believe that his mom would come all the way from Tokyo to Osaka and stay in Osaka without returning to Tokyo.
Tokyo had all of Mom’s social connections. Even if she has some social relations here in Osaka, it is only a superficial one to maintain, not to spend efforts to operate properly.
Moreover, he knew that his mother, like most people in Tokyo, looked down on Osaka people and liked to diss them.
Miyazaki Ryui is not clear about this matter of his heart, mistakenly think that he thinks that while the Osaka side of the current is not yet very good, volunteering to come here to work and development, but also may not be a wonderful opportunity.
In terms of the current situation, the expansion of the Hard Gold Group’s business territory in Tokyo had already stabilized, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for them to make any more bold moves.
For some people who are not valued, or who do not have a high status within the group, it is not a risk worth taking. This may not really be able to start the second spring of their personal career.
As for people like Kazuya Takahashi, there was no need for such a risk. Everyone knew that he was the chairman’s younger brother, and he was very powerful in the company.
All along, everyone had been speculating whether it was him or Takayuki Nanno who was the number two person in the Hard Gold Group. For Kazuya Takahashi to take the initiative to stay away from the center of power of the group was completely unreasonable.
Miyazaki Ryui didn’t answer, but just dipped a piece of roasted prime beef tenderloin in the sauce and brought it into his mouth to chew slowly.
He pretended that he didn’t hear what Kazuya Takahashi said, as if he was focusing on savoring the food in his mouth.
“Do you think that it will be the first to move Hard Gold Construction from Tokyo to Osaka?” Kazuya Takahashi asked with a sense of purpose.
Miyazaki Ryui swallowed the chewed beef inside his mouth into his stomach and said, “No not really there is a possibility.”
“Reason?” Takahashi Kazuya looked at him in a serious manner and said.
“With Yamaguchi Katsuhei’s out-of-touch, solitary personality, even if he was ordered to move away from Tokyo with Hard Gold Construction as a whole, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.
At the regular meeting every Monday morning, there was no more or less of him. In the absence of the chairman, he tended to show reluctance to come.
In the future, Hard Gold Construction’s business development and growth will be centered not in Tokyo, but overseas, and in the Kansai region of Japan.” Miyazaki Ryui said seriously.
“Makes sense.” Takahashi Kazuya expressed an approval saying.
