"Are you the owner of Toshima Construction?"

"Hey......! What exactly is going to be discussed at this extraordinary general meeting? Is it going to announce the acquisition by River Plate Fund?"

"This ...... I'm sorry, but we can't reveal it yet, but I'll tell you about it later!"

"Alas...... Toshima Construction made me lose a lot of money this time, I really don't know if there is a possibility of turning over in the future!"

"I'm so sorry for you, and I ask you to continue to support the construction of Toshima!"

Standing in front of the conference hall of the hotel, the employees of Toshima Construction solemnly bowed and apologized to a melancholy owner. Seeing the other party's serious apology, although he lost a lot of money, he still couldn't say some excessive words.

For today's temporary owner meeting, most of the owners of Toshima Construction did not have much hope. For everyone, the best news now is that River Plate Fund has bought this company. However, considering the market value of Toshima Construction, it seems that this kind of thing is not very likely!

However, for the employees on the scene, there is another plan in their hearts. As a member of Toshima Construction Co., Ltd., who participated in the holding of this general meeting, everyone already knows some news about the confrontation between the River Plate Foundation and President Hosokawa. Considering the River Plate Foundation's previous proposal to lay off 20% of its workforce, it is only natural that the members of Toshima Construction are more supportive of President Hosokawa's proposal, which represents the interests of the majority of members. But so far, President Hosokawa has been far behind his opponents in the voting rights of the owners. This is a big headache for everyone.

"Hey...... I really didn't even have time to prepare for this surprise attack by the River Plate Foundation! If only I had a little more time to visit several important owners of Toshima Construction and fully explain our plans to each other!"

In the lounge at the back of the venue, Kiyofumi Hosokawa wore glasses and counted over and over again the proportion of voting rights that could be won. This made Hosokawa secretly sweat for the future of the club.

"How's it going on the master's side?"

Hosokawa turned around and asked his secretary, Joto-kun.

"President, the owner said that he would seriously consider your plan, and several other major owners expressed the same opinion, you said...... Could it be that they have reached some kind of tacit agreement and thus deliberately perfunctory us?"

Hearing Joto-kun's speculation, Hosokawa Kiyofumi didn't answer, he was still repeatedly calculating the voting rights he could fight. As a company that has been listed for decades. Most of Toshima Construction's equity has been dispersed among small and medium-sized investors. This makes it easier for people who want to snipe at the company to operate. In addition, the previous collapse in the stock price of Toshima Construction has indeed made many major owners feel distrustful of the current management of Toshima Construction, and how to win the other party to stand on their side when voting is the most urgent job for Hosokawa Kiyofumi at present.

"President, there are already a lot of plant owners here, do you need to prepare for a little preaching?"

Just when Hosokawa Kiyofumi was still thinking about it, Kenji Hashirin, who had been in charge of the reception work in front, suddenly walked into the lounge, and then whispered a reminder to Hosokawa.

"Oh......? Have you arrived at the main family and several other representatives of the big plant owners?"

Hey, most of them sent people, but Mr. Robert Taki of the River Plate Fund was talking with them about something, and in addition, colleagues including Kiyokawa Construction, Kobayashi Group, and Mahayana Construction also sent representatives to our strain owner meeting.

"Eh, why did they send someone too?"

Hearing the news mentioned by Kenji Hashira, Hosokawa couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.

"This ...... It is said that Robert Taki of the River Plate Foundation invited them to today's general meeting, President, since all your colleagues are here, you ...... Do you want to go out and meet everyone? ”

"Oh...... Okay, I'll sort it out and go out and say hello to them!"

Hosokawa listened to Hasukawa's report, then stood up and rearranged his tie, and when Joto saw that Hosokawa was going out, he quickly picked up Hosokawa's coat from the hanger and helped him put it on. After everything was cleaned up, Hosokawa walked out of the lounge with the two of them, and then led by Lotus Wheel to the front hall.

"Yo...... President Tanima, President Shiraki, President Maezawa, I didn't expect a few people to come here in a few days, it's really rude to be here!"

Seeing that Hosokawa Kiyobun actually came over by himself, everyone who was still talking happily didn't know why they suddenly all stopped talking, which made Hosokawa, who came to say hello, very embarrassed. He looked at the people present in embarrassment, and asked the other party with some puzzlement:

"Excuse me...... Is there anything offensive about it?"

"Don't dare to be President Hosokawa, I heard that you have now fallen on the big tree of the neighboring XX Construction Group, and several of us really admire you very much!"

As soon as President Tanimi spoke, he sneered at Hosokawa, which made Hosokawa stand in place a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to do.

"President Hosokawa, as a member of a Japanese construction company, how can you betray everyone, although we can understand the difficulties of Toshima Construction, but we work with foreign companies to fight against domestic counterparts...... Is the construction of Toshima to be the enemy of all colleagues in Japan?"

With President Tanima and President Shiraki reprimanding him, Hosokawa finally understood their intention to participate in the Toshima Construction Owners Conference today, and it was clear that they should be the helpers of the River Plate Foundation, and their purpose was to prevent Hosokawa Kiyofumi's plan from gaining the support of the majority of the owners.

Seeing that several presidents present who were very influential in the industry reprimanded him, Hosokawa raised his head and said righteously:

"Seniors, I don't know where you heard the news that I colluded with a foreign company. We at Toshima Construction have always relied on our sincerity and hard work to win customers. It's really nonsense to bully peers or something. As for what you said about the cooperation between us and the neighboring XX Construction Group, these are just normal business dealings. Since several of my predecessors are business owners with many years of experience, I hope that you will not be influenced by some people with bad intentions......"

After Hosokawa finished saying this, he then lowered his head and saluted everyone, and then strode away without looking back, and everyone present couldn't help but feel another burst of indignation when they saw Hosokawa's back
