Chapter 352 Business Aircraft
Rie Sakai drove the car smoothly to Haneda International Airport. At this time, the entourage accompanying Masayoshi Kishimoto to Hangzhou, China, had already arrived one after another.
Instead of flying to their destination with other strangers, they chartered a Gulfstream business jet.
So, after meeting with his entourage, Kishimoto entered the tarmac through the VIP passage. Before boarding, all salutes were also sent to the plane by the airport staff. One by one, they got on the plane and each found a seat to sit down.
Even if Yamada Mirai has something in his heart that he needs to say to the chairman, he can't. After all, there are a lot of other people in the company here.
It didn't have much to do with her, but she was entrusted by others. This person is Shunaka Sato. He was one of the company's first people.
In that year, as a Korean translator, he went to Seoul, South Korea, with Miyazaki Ryui, to establish the first overseas office of the Hard Gold Group.
Later, Miyazaki was transferred to San Francisco, USA, to replace Kiyoshi Kobayashi, and it was he who took over the position of head of the Seoul office.
Just last night, Shunaka Sato flew privately from Seoul, South Korea, to Tokyo and found her for an interview. Although it is not the first time that the two have dealt with each other, it is more accurate to say that they are stakeholders rather than friends in personal relationships.
Hidenaka Sato has a clear purpose and is also aiming for the position of head of the San Francisco office in the United States. The allure of this position has become a shortcut that many people see as being trusted and recognized by the president, as well as their own promotion in the future.
After all, before this, there were Kobayashi Kiyoshi and Miyazaki Ryui. Now they are the presidents of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Hard Gold Group.
Currently, there is a vacancy in this position. For those who have the ability, qualifications, and ambition, it is an opportunity, and they will never fail to strive for it, and then let it slip away from them in vain.
Under the command of the control tower, the plane in which Kishimoto and others were flying entered a runway in Haneda International Airport and taxied. What followed was an acceleration from slow to fast, and finally soared off the ground and into the sky.
"What do you all think about this trip to Hangzhou, China?" Kishimoto held a book in his hand but didn't read it, and took the initiative to be targeted.
Everyone looked at each other at first, but no one spoke. They have long known that the president is extremely optimistic about the Chinese mainland market. What about them? I really don't think so.
The most incomprehensible and emotionally unacceptable thing for them is that the chairman has to go out in person?
In their view, second-tier Chinese cities such as Hangzhou are not as good as Qingdao in terms of location advantages, and second-tier Chinese cities such as Dalian are obviously close to the sea.
"President, I have a question that I can't figure out, why are you optimistic that China's Hangzhou is far better than Qingdao or Dalian?
In Qingdao and Dalian, there are many Japanese-funded companies. This also shows that everyone is optimistic about Qingdao and Dalian, rather than Hangzhou, a Chinese city that does not directly face the sea. ”
Shinta Horii, who came out on top among the management trainees in this year's class, was not only selected for the president's secretary's office, but was also fortunate enough to be able to accompany him on the trip.
In order to leave a deep and good impression on the president, he plucked up the courage to say when he saw that others were asked and did not answer.
Yamada Mirai did not hesitate to give the other party a cold warning. The message in her eyes couldn't be clearer, can you take the initiative to speak?
"I prefer to be quiet. Since everyone is gone, then I won't join in the excitement!" Kishimoto replied meaningfully.
"I have already told the office in Hangzhou in advance. They're all ready. The Chinese translator also found a Japanese teacher at Zhejiang University. Yamada Miku told the truth.
"Hello teacher! Marsan was also a college English teacher. Later, his heart that was unwilling to be ordinary was troubled, so he quit his job and started a business.
In terms of academic qualifications, he can compare to all of you who graduated from prestigious universities in Japan. Marsan is a very ordinary normal university graduate.
For this reason, he also took the exam three times in a row. Last time, if it wasn't for the fact that the university was not full and the score was reduced, I'm afraid he would have taken the exam for the fourth time.
As soon as the college students of the Massanne era entered the university, they were quasi-elite, unlike the college students in China after the expansion of university enrollment in 1998.
In the 80s, there were many college candidates in China who went crazy and committed suicide because of their failures. Many of them see college as a ladder to change their destiny and move up the social ladder.
There is no tuition fee to go to university. A few such as military schools and normal schools also have living allowances. After graduation, I will also be assigned a job. Kishimoto said eloquently.
"I have always kept in mind the words of the chairman not to look down on local companies in China. It is precisely because of their weakness and lack of funds that they have given us the opportunity to get ahead of the curve. Mirai Yamada dug out what Kishimoto had said at a meeting in his Hong Kong office.
"You can remember what I said, yes. Chinese are creative, but it is not that foreign media say that Chinese lack creativity.
The unfair reports of foreign media are due to the fact that they are not very familiar with China's national conditions. It is difficult for Chinese people to do things, and they are often bound by some things above the system, and it is difficult to carry them out.
They are not a fully free-market economy. This is completely different from Japan. How do you say that? They belong to a dual economy.
Within the system, we are still engaged in the socialist set of planned economy, while outside the system, we are constantly loosening economic constraints and learning to develop a market economy.
However, this market economy is not a free market economy, but a market economy under the control of state capital.
Therefore, China's local emerging industries such as Massan have a preference for foreign investment for the sake of convenience. In this way, his company is in fact a joint venture.
In terms of attracting investment in China, foreign companies investing in Chinese mainland will have certain tax exemptions and preferential treatment.
The cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial, and it is not a zero-sum game at all, either you eat me or I eat you. Kishimoto said slowly.
"I believe that this trip to Hangzhou, China with you will be worthwhile. Yamada Mirai was praised by the chairman, and he was very useful in his heart.
"Business negotiations between the two sides are wanted. Don't rush too much, though. You should relax for two days, have more fun in Hangzhou, and see China's economic development with your own eyes. Kishimoto confessed.
