Chapter 818: Extraordinary Times

Sakai Rie’s mood calmed down a bit, and she took a tissue from Mizuhara Yuki’s hand to wipe her nose and tears. Inside her head, she also knew that this was an extraordinary time for the Kishimoto family, and that just crying mournfully would not help.

Until Masayoshi Kishimoto woke up, she had to rely on Kazuya Takahashi. With this in mind, she took the initiative to get up and bowed deeply to the other party.

Takahashi Kazuya immediately returned the same ninety degree bow. He knew better than anyone else that his own little bit of prestige within the Hard Gold Group would never be able to suppress the executives.

“Since I have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel of the Hard Gold Group, then I can have to dismiss Maki Iwasaki from her position as the Finance Headquarters Minister of the Hard Gold Group.” Rie Sakai said bluntly.

“Never. Even though Maki Iwasaki hasn’t been with the Hard Gold Group for very long, she can’t set such a precedent. Once there starts to be operations to remove internal executives from their positions, there’s no guarantee that the people below won’t have all sorts of speculations, and it’s bound to trigger panic within the group.

Now, justice lies again. This idea of one day’s work will go unnoticed. Our top priority is still to stabilize and unite the Hard Gold Group internally.

You must not only not be able to fire Maki Iwasaki, but you must also try to make good relations with the other side.” Takahashi Kazuya raised an objection saying.

“This one family of mine was almost torn apart by this woman. And you want me to get on good terms with Iwasaki Maki? What international joke.” Sakai Rie said with a furrowed brow.

“Rie, you’re trying to look at the big picture now. The grudge between you and Iwasaki Maki is a minor matter, so put it aside for now. Right now, at this juncture, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Once you push Iwasaki Maki to the opposite side of you and the Hard Gold Group, then it is not like we have not solved our internal problems, but also created an external problem.

Don’t forget, Iwasaki Maki is no ordinary woman. She’s not only the daughter-in-law of the Mitsubishi Group’s Iwasaki Main Family, but she also has uncommon abilities.” Takahashi Kazuya stopped it.

Even though Sakai Rie had decided that Iwasaki Maki was the culprit for breaking up her family, she still took his words in.

Without being completely emotional, she said, “The most I can do is to temporarily not remove Iwasaki Maki from her position within the Hard Gold Group.

It’s absolutely impossible for me to have a good relationship with her. If the Hard Gold Group has completely stabilized internally, I will still propose and push for the dismissal of Maki Iwasaki from her position as Finance Director once again.”

Seeing that she had given in, Takahashi Kazuya didn’t say a single thing more. It was absolutely impossible for him or her to want the other party to completely dismiss this kind of thought.

Only when Masayoshi Kishimoto woke up and regained the power as the chairman of the Hard Gold Group would it be completely back on track. The only thing he had to do was to do his best to maintain the situation.

“Is there anything else you need me to do?” Rie Sakai asked thoughtfully.

“Take Naoki with you to the regular Monday morning meeting of the Hard Gold Group executives. In addition to you personally announcing this unfortunate matter of justice to the executives, you must also personally promise them that, for one thing, not only will you not remove any of them from their positions, but you will also give them more dividends.

Hopefully, in this darkest moment of the Hard Gold Group, they can join hands with you to come out of the darkness and welcome the brightest day.

The reason why I would suggest you to do this is because every executive has a group of people around them. Once an executive is relieved of his or her duties, it means that a group of people will leave.

This will require finding another person to make a relevant replacement. Otherwise, there will be a state of internal self-disintegration.

The other is for you to appoint me as Group Executive, and Head of the Legal Department, to temporarily take over the full authority of the Hard Gold Group. After Justice awakens, I will voluntarily resign as Group Executive.”

Takahashi Kazu also knew what it meant to have a bad name. He expected that this would cause quite a bit of internal turmoil if he messed up. It wasn’t like there weren’t people within the executives who were not convinced, I’m afraid it was more than just one or two people.

“This is no problem.” Rie Sakai listened attentively to every word he said. This was a suggestion that was favorable to the Kishimoto family and the Hard Gold Group, then one would accept it at face value.

She naturally wanted to find ways, even by any means, to preserve the Hard Gold Group. Even if she herself could be indifferent to the Hard Gold Group, she could not let her own children lose the business empire that had been founded by their father.

“You still have to call an internal shareholders’ meeting as the majority shareholder. Calling them to come, that’s giving the necessary respect.

It’s not impossible to not call them. My suggestion would still be to give a necessary notice to those minority shareholders who hold shares in the Hard Gold Group.

Among them are the bigwigs of the pachinko industry such as Kazuhiko Inoue. As you know, there are still a number of areas where we need to start a series of cooperation with them, both before and now, even in the future.

The pachinko industry is really the biggest industry in Japan. Hard gold group and they have a relationship with the cash flow, that are in billions as a unit of valuation.

Although they hold little shares of the Hard Gold Group, but can involve all aspects of the entire Japanese interest groups will form a disjointed.

As for the rest of those people, they say a what, you can completely left ear into the right ear out, do not have to put on the heart, after all, Kishimoto family hand has a hard gold group 90% of the absolute controlling power.

If they really want to withdraw their shares, they can also take it all in.” Takahashi Kazuya began to analyze and narrate some of the internal relations of the Hard Gold Group to her.

“That’s all right?” Rie Sakai asked offhandedly.

“Our battle has just begun. As long as Justice doesn’t wake up, then our fight won’t stop. If my guess is right, once the news that Justice is lying down is disclosed by the media, then the Japanese companies involved in the Hard Gold Group’s holdings will see their stocks plummet.

In this particularly sensitive period, naturally, we can’t let the outside world lose confidence in our hard gold group. At that time, it is inevitable to carry out a capital protection operation.

There are two people who know the most about financial operations: Kobayashi Kiyoshi of Hard Gold Capital, and Inoue Kamiji of Hard Gold Bank. However, the two of them had been at odds with each other since they were students at the University of Tokyo.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi is one of the senior figures in the Hard Gold Group, so it is difficult for me to persuade him to come over to your side and support you unconditionally.

As for Inoue Kamiji, I don’t have any personal relationship with him either, so it will be equally difficult to persuade him to support you.” Takahashi Kazuya said with no small amount of worry.
