Masayoshi Kishimoto patiently spent about an hour in the small living room on the second floor with Rie Sakai, and finally sang the song of the Hard Gold Group Company not very out of tune.

"Today, let's stop here!" said Kishimoto, pouring a glass of whiskey and holding it in his hand.

Rie Sakai didn't have to insist that he sing without going out of tune at all, after all, it was too unrealistic. I didn't know him on the first day.

Rie Sakai sat on the sofa and said, "Uniqlo's Yanai Masashi sent someone to send an invitation. Join us for UNIQLO's new product launch. ”

"Yanai and I are both old acquaintances and old friends. He is a Japanese man who can do one thing to the extreme.

If there is another man in this world who can do one thing as extreme as Yanai Masa, I am afraid it must be the American Howard Schultz. He is the founder of Starbucks.

If you go, I won't go. Masayoshi Kishimoto held a whiskey glass in his right hand and thought to himself that this year would be quite difficult for Uniqlo.

In the August 2002 financial year, UNIQLO, which had been growing impressively in sales and profits, suffered its first revenue loss since the company's listing.

Once upon a time, he was still thinking about competing with Yanai for the position of the richest man in Japan. Later, he couldn't help but feel that his past thoughts were so naïve.

How could the real richest man in Japan appear in the public's field of vision? Such a person is a member of the top class, and he will always exist in the world as if he was wearing an invisibility cloak, but he has unfathomable strength and influence.

Even if Yanai can become the richest man in Japan for a while, or even the richest man in Asia, he is not really the richest man in Japan or Asia.

The lifeblood of Japan's economy is largely controlled by the six chaebols, not by Yanai's Uniqlo. A person who sells clothing, no matter how big the profit is, can it be as big as selling arms, oil, and so on?

What's more, non-listed companies do not need to announce their annual financial reports. In Japan, there are many privately owned family-owned companies that are not listed.

Rie Sakai rarely hears recognition and praise from others in his mouth: "Aren't you a man who does one thing to the extreme?"

Your hard money group is much larger than Uniqlo's assets. You are a man who is recognized by the Japanese financial community as a hard gold chaebol, but Yanai Masashi is not. ”

Masayoshi Kishimoto took a sip of the whiskey in the glass and said, "I belong to diversity, not singularity. Furthermore, having money and doing one thing to the extreme are two different things.

Some craftsmen in Japan, who are known as national treasures, have not done one thing to their peak. However, not all of them are rich. This is mainly due to the fact that it has earned a reputation and social status as a craftsman.

Yanai is able to make Uniqlo a clothing brand that is world-renowned, and that is amazing. Howard Schultz's rise to global fame at Starbucks is just as remarkable. ”

"Are you really not going to go, or do you already look down on Yanai Masa, or are you already planning to buy his Uniqlo?" said Sakai casually.

"I couldn't keep it, so I really bought Yanai Masa's Uniqlo. "Kishimoto feels that at this time of the year, he will indeed have the opportunity to buy a large number of Uniqlo stocks.

"Really, fake?" Rie Sakai couldn't believe that she had said something unintentionally, but it turned into the truth.

"When the truth is false, when the false is true, when the false is true, when the truth is false, you have to rely on yourself to distinguish between the true and the false. Kishimoto said with a smile.

Rie Sakai saw that he didn't tell the truth to himself, and he didn't get to the bottom of it, after all, it involved trade secrets. She knows what to ask and what not to ask.

I want to establish a family rule in the Kishimoto family, and the women of the Kishimoto family are not allowed to ask the men about business at will.

"Since you don't want to attend Uniqlo's new spring launch this year, then I just have to do it for you. I didn't eat Kishimoto's rice for nothing. Rie Sakai said bluntly.

"It's as if you're not from my Kishimoto family. If you don't want to go, you can just go. You are pregnant, and there are indeed inconveniences. Kishimoto said calmly.

"Whether a woman is pregnant or not, she is still interested in fashion. Although Uniqlo is going the mass route, it doesn't have any negative impact on me.

As you said earlier, we are old friends with Yanai Masa. I remember when I was still in college, there was a New Year concert held by Mr. and Mrs. Yanai Masa.

Also, even earlier, Meiling and I went to attend the opening of UNIQLO's first flagship store in Harajuku, Tokyo. It is also the right thing to do to cheer for it reasonably. Rie Sakai said slowly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto sat beside her and said, "You still remember these old things, which not only shows that you are a woman who misses the old days, but also a woman who values love and righteousness." ”

"Of course, the kindness of others to you should be remembered. If you treat me badly, I will remember you for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life. Rie Sakai habitually rolled her eyes at him, and raised her right index finger.

"I'm not good for you?" Kishimoto knew that she had subconsciously started arguing with her daily life again.

"You say, you're treating me well?" asked Rie Sakai rhetorically.

"I asked you first. Why did you ask me?" Kishimoto said, kicking the ball back to her.

"It's obvious that I asked you first, okay?" Rie Sakai pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately unreasonable.

"Really? I don't know. Do you think I'm easy to deceive, so you always like to deceive me?" Kishimoto Masayoshi also came to play a nail rake with Zhu Bajie, and hit a nail rake upside down.

Rie Sakai raised her small fists in both hands and slammed them towards his body, pretending to be angry and saying, "Don't learn from me." ”

"I've learned to sing with you, so I'll learn your nonsense by the way. Kishimoto laughed.

"You're clearly spewing blood. I didn't mess around. Even if I mess around, it's just for you. You have to know how to be sufficient. Rie Sakai said strongly.

According to the logic of your thinking, because you love me, you will be petty to me. "Kishimoto is happy.

"That's right, you're smart. Rie Sakai immediately laughed as well.

"Why am I so unlucky?" said Kishimoto as he laughed more and more.
