Chapter 224: Strength
After Takayuki Minamino left, Kishimoto sat down in his office chair. He took out a bunch of keys that he had with him and chose one that would open the middle drawer.
Masayoshi Kishimoto pulled out the drawer and took out the mobile phone that he and Eisuke Iwasaki used for special conversations. He didn't dig through the phone book on his phone, but with the memory in his head, he accurately entered a string of numbers, and then dialed the other party's number.
"I have received the package. Thank you for the gift. "Kishimoto Masayoshi holds the phone in his right hand and attaches it to his right ear, a serious way.
"Do you like it?" asked Iwasaki Eisuke calmly.
"Loved it very much. From now on, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me. "Kishimoto made it clear that he officially accepted the other party's entrapment.
"A small gift is nothing. Famous horses with heroes. If there's something you don't understand about horses, you can ask Maki. After that, I sent you her mobile phone number in the form of a text message. "Eisuke Iwasaki said lightly.
"Thank you so much. "Kishimoto is thorough, and he fully understands that the other party is creating more opportunities for himself and Iwasaki Maki.
It would be best if the two could really come together. After all, in the eyes of the Japanese, no kind of sincerity of cooperation is the most reliable for marriage.
Even if he and Iwasaki Maki don't get along, he can still make himself feel the high attention from Eisuke Iwasaki. It can be seen that the other party is extremely clever in the means of attracting talents.
For this reason, while Kishimoto Masayoshi was unexpected, he was also able to understand the other party's desire to regain NO.1. A background like the other party is almost perfect.
If an individual no longer has a direction to pursue and struggle, life will be too boring. Real men like to fight for what they want.
Its own hard gold group has grown in just two or three years, and such a growth rate can be described as extraordinary.
"Polite words, we'll stop here. Have you decided to participate in the bidding for Roppongi's old town renovation project?" said Eisuke Iwasaki.
"I'm more than enough, I'm afraid of not having enough power. Kishimoto stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Can I ask you a question?"
Eisuke Iwasaki said succinctly, "Just ask." ”
"The Mitsubishi Group also has construction companies. Are you not going to participate in this bidding?" asked Kishimoto curiously.
Eisuke Iwasaki said eloquently, "I knew you would ask such a question. Marunouchi in Chiyoda Ward is owned by the Mitsubishi Group. If we set foot in Roppongi in Minato Ward, it will also break the balance between the existing and the other five major chaebols.
A large-scale arms race is something that no one wants at the moment. At present, the Asian financial crisis has passed, but Japan's domestic economy has not fully recovered.
Both the financial and political circles have been working on the country's economic recovery. Even if the Mitsubishi Group finally succeeds in Roppongi's old city renovation project, it doesn't mean that we will win.
If we have an advantage in one project, we will have to compromise and abandon other projects. That's where the trade-offs come from.
Not only the Japanese government, but also the U.S. government does not want to see Japan become a dominant country. Our Mitsubishi Group was dismembered by the Americans after World War II.
After decades of hard work by the people of Mitsubishi, it is not easy to maintain the current alliance situation. If it is dismembered again, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a comeback. ”
He paused slightly, and then added, "You should know about Go! Not only do you have to look at three moves for each move, but you also have to anticipate where your opponent will drop a piece."
You can do it boldly and without any worries. I'm going to make a plan for you to secretly advocate for the bigwigs in the financial world that no one will ever set foot in Roppongi Hills. Japan's financial community is in desperate need of fresh blood.
As for the rest, it can only be up to you to see what you really do. If you can establish a foothold in Roppongi, Minato Ward as the base camp of the hard gold group in the future, then you and your company can be regarded as erecting a banner in the Japanese financial community. ”
Kishimoto believed that his words were true, but he didn't believe them all. He doesn't want to be a pawn in the opponent's hands, let alone a pawn to be eaten.
He is also self-aware, and he does not yet have the strength to become a chess player who can compete with the six chaebols. Since the bigwigs in the financial world do not get involved in Roppongi's new town plan, they have a lot less to worry about.
In addition to the six major chaebols in Japan, there are also many large and small construction companies. This also includes construction companies controlled by charlatans.
Kishimoto was convinced that the Japanese government would not hand over the renovation of an iconic block like Roppongi to a construction company controlled by the charlatans. If you are not a charlatan, it means that you can make a bid.
If so, in addition to the nearly 8 billion yen that I have placed with you, you will also be able to provide you with the necessary loan assistance through the normal channels of the Mitsubishi Bank. ”
Even if Eisuke Iwasaki knew that Kishimoto had some chips in his hands, he wouldn't know how many chips he would have. So, he naturally thought of the funding gap that the other party would encounter.
"Thank you, I really don't need to. As long as you bigwigs in the financial world don't get involved in it and compete with us, then I will be much more at ease in my heart.
I'm wondering if you can use the money you have with me to set up a new company, and then you can send someone you can trust.
The advantage of this is that it can be used to hide people's eyes and ears, and on the other hand, it can be used as a bridge between us to facilitate communication. ”
Masayoshi Kishimoto has always felt that the stroke that Eisuke Iwasaki put here is a time bomb. He wanted to remove it from the road.
"I'll seriously consider your proposal. You really don't have a problem with funding? Roppongi's new town plan is not a small amount of money. Iwasaki Eisuke said in disbelief.
"In terms of the use of funds alone, the hard gold group alone is more than enough. If I can't even come up with this money, I'm afraid you won't think so highly of me!" Kishimoto said confidently.
Eisuke Iwasaki laughed and said, "I just like to deal with smart people." Then I'll see how you do in the future. I hope you don't disappoint me. ”
"I'm going to do everything I can to get Roppongi's new town plan. "Masayoshi Kishimoto is also extremely eager to use his own strength to be a banner in his heart.
