Chapter 236: Industry Insider

The reason why Kishimoto chose to meet the president was so that he would not hang himself from a tree. If you rely too much on Eisuke Iwasaki of the Mitsubishi Group, you will eventually fall into the other party's vassal step by step. He's the man who wants to be in charge, and he won't let that happen.

After the president's wife personally brought the Japanese tea to the guests, she turned around and left the study without any disturbance, and closed the door.

"Now, tell me what you're here for!" said the president.

"I have a project here. In fact, it is not a secret, it is already known to passers-by. Roppongi's New Town Plan. "Justice Kishimoto is a serious one.

"You really dare to think and do. The president praised his courage and courage in his heart.

"I know there's a lot of stakes involved. Today, I came to visit the president, and it is not about financing.

I'd like to use your connections and prestige to help me get some valuable information. If so, I hope you can introduce me to someone. "Kishimoto is not in a hurry or slow.

"Roppongi's new town plan is definitely not a small investment. You're really not short of money on this project?" said the president, half-convinced.

"It would be best if the president was also interested in Roppongi's new town plan. If anyone else in the pachinko circle is interested in this investment project, they might as well do it together.

One more living water that allows money to regenerate money is tantamount to a good thing for everyone. As the saying goes, the flame is high when people gather firewood. ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not hesitate to make a necessary distribution of the cake. What he values most is that the person who shares the cake is himself. In fact, he knew best in his heart that it was impossible for him to swallow it alone.

This pulls some people into the gang, which can not only reduce the pressure on their own funds and other aspects, but also greatly improve the success rate.

"Your investment project plan is challenging the hegemony of the chaebols. "The president hit the nail on the head.

"I can reveal to you a definite message. Chaebols, at the very least, Japan's six major chaebols will not participate in Roppongi's new city plan. Masayoshi Kishimoto deliberately lowered his voice, for fear that the wall would have an ear canal.

"Wouldn't it be? Such a big fat sheep would be able to sleep without a single hunt?" said the president.

"Now, I can't convince the president of anything. You can keep an eye on how things are going. If I am right, I would be glad that the President will give serious consideration to my previous proposal. Kishimoto said seriously.

"If things are as you say, I'll give serious consideration to your offer. The president said with a mouthful of promises.

In his opinion, since Masayoshi Kishimoto was able to know about the chaebols' decision in advance, it means that there is definitely a fairy-level bigwig behind him.

For those who engage in pachinko, they are born to gamble more than others. This is a troublesome thing, so naturally it will not be easily let go.

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not intend to be able to convince the other party at once. If you change the president to yourself, you can't just bet on it.

Even if it doesn't belong to the eagle without seeing the rabbit, it must at least let people see a little sign of improvement. Speaking a little dry, he picked up the Japanese-style teacup on the desk in the study, tilted his head and took a sip.

"I've always had the idea of uniting the whole pachinko industry and forming a force that can compete with the chaebols. But ...... "The president was halfway through his sentence, and it was difficult to continue."

"The root of the problem is that our combined strength is not weak, but it is too scattered, and the hearts of the people are too uneven to clench into a fist.

The intra-industry conflict between the Kansai region and the Kanto region is not a one-day, two-day affair. Not to mention that Osaka is not as good as Tokyo today, and even Yokohama's economy has overshadowed it.

Osaka, which used to be the second largest city in Japan, has also been replaced by Yokohama. They want to go east, and although it is understandable, it is impossible for the Kanto people to agree to it.

Kansai people want to break the existing pattern of profit distribution, nothing more than want to reap more benefits. If they eat more and occupy more, then it will inevitably cause the Kanto people to eat less and occupy less, which will also make many people here suffer losses.

In addition, there are also contradictions between the 23 wards of Tokyo, as well as between the surrounding cities. Originally, the division of territory in the past was to be able to develop in an orderly manner and avoid serious conflicts, so that everyone had a bite to eat.

Some blocks have a prosperous economy, a large permanent population, and a large flow of people, so business is naturally good. On the contrary, business is not very good.

Among them, there is a one-size-fits-all membership fee, apportionment, etc., which makes only small and medium-sized pachinko shop owners very dissatisfied.

Although you have been committed to reforming the shortcomings of the industry, striving for fairness, and even sacrificing your own interests, the resistance is too great to implement.

Some bigwigs in the pachinko industry feel that they have provided protection to others in the industry and leveled all aspects of the relationship, so that everyone can live a peaceful life.

Even if it gives the owners of small and medium-sized pachinko shops a little extra money, it is a matter of course. For this reason, if you are forced to do so, it will not only be as simple as being forced into the palace, but it will also cause chaos in the industry.

After all, there are not only a faction of people behind them, but also deep-rooted and intertwined relationships and interests in other aspects. ”

After all, Kishimoto was once a member of the pachinko industry, so he naturally knows the inside story very well. I also saw through this unsolvable knot at the beginning.

The chain store operation of the pachinko industry is not like the clothing store industry like Uniqlo, where you can open as many branches as you want, and there is no problem.

Opening a pachinko shop on someone else's territory without the consent of the landlord will inevitably lead to conflict and trouble.

"Our industry can't be like other industries to engage in a group share business model, using shares to speak. The president said helplessly.

Kishimoto made a gesture of a gun on his right hand and said, "Many of them like to speak in this way. ”

"You're no longer a pachinko, it's a huge loss for our business. If you have time, come and talk to this old man like me. I find myself enjoying chatting with you. The president laughed.
