Chapter 54: A Strange Promise

"President Hosokawa, I'm so embarrassed, Senior Minister Saito personally called just now, saying that he couldn't rush back for the time being because he had encountered something important......! Otherwise, you'd better go back first!"

"Eh, didn't you just say ......?"

"Ah...... I'm really sorry that I made a mistake in my work and caused you to be delayed here for so long, so if you can't do it, you can do it! When Sato comes back, I will confirm with him as soon as possible the time to meet you, today, it is really a little inconvenient!"

……

Hearing the other party's words of evasion, Hosokawa's secretary Shiroto couldn't help but feel a little angry and wanted to reprimand the other party a few words, but Hosokawa Kiyofumi responded to the other party in advance:

"This time, we at Toshima Construction plan to go all out to participate in the bidding work of the Chuo Shinkansen, if Fuji Bank is interested in cooperating with Toshima Construction, please contact us as soon as possible, although we have no precedent for cooperation before, but I believe that if your bank is willing to lend a hand to Toshima Construction, it will definitely get a huge return in the future!"

……

As Kiyofumi Hosokawa's car slowly drove out of the headquarters of Fuji Bank, he looked up at the other party's imposing headquarters building, and his face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment and exhaustion.

Since the Central Bank of Tokyo unilaterally announced the termination of the cooperation and began to seek recourse from Toshima Construction. In the past few days, Kiyofumi Hosokawa has traveled to all the major financial institutions in Tokyo that can meet the financing needs of Toshima construction. However, unfortunately, out of concern about the business conditions of Toshima Construction, so far no financial institution has been willing to provide financing services to Toshima Construction, although Hosokawa Kiyofumi has long been prepared for this situation, but after being politely rejected by Fuji Bank, Hosokawa Kiyofumi's face will inevitably show a look of disappointment.

"Joto-kun, where are we going next?"

"President, I've already booked lunch for you, we'll ......"

"Help me cancel, I want to go back to work first!"

Hearing that his secretary had booked the famous tempura restaurant for him, Hosokawa Kiyofumi felt that he had no appetite, and at the moment he was still worried about the future of Toshima construction, and he was not in the mood to enjoy any food at all.

In this way, Kiyofumi Hosokawa's car returned to the Toshima Construction Headquarters in Chiyoda Ward. As soon as he returned to his office, Kiyofumi Hosokawa sent his secretary Shiroto to the company's cafeteria to buy himself a pork chop rice. Then he took out the cigarette from his drawer, which he had been quitting for months, and then smoked it a little lonely.

"Knock knock!"

Just when Hosokawa Kiyofumi wanted to be alone and quiet, there was a slight knock on the door suddenly. Hosokawa Kiyofumi thought that Joto-kun, who had been sent to the cafeteria to buy food for himself, had returned, so he hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette, and then said loudly:

"Please come in!"

With the sound of the door opening the door, a subordinate who surprised Kiyofumi Hosokawa suddenly walked in with some restraint.

"President, I'm so sorry, may I ask...... It won't bother you!"

"Ah...... It's Lotus Wheel-kun!What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"That...... Actually, it's like this.,I've always followed the general manager of Kogi Zeng.,Now that the general manager of Kogiso is gone.,My work here ......"

"What's the matter, Harin-kun?

"Hey, Mr. Kogi had asked me to get in touch with Mr. Robert Taki of River Plate Fund Management Co., Ltd., and the two sides had planned to find a suitable opportunity to sit down and discuss the possibility of cooperation, but because of the sudden death of Mr. Kogi, the meeting that had been scheduled was not realized. That's why I wanted to come over and report to the president to see if you have any instructions!"

"River Plate Fund?"

Hearing that Kenji Hasuwa, the secretary of Naobi Kogi, suddenly mentioned the River Plate Fund, Hosokawa Kiyofumi couldn't help but remember that when the police found him a few days ago, he seemed to have mentioned this fund as well. At the time, the police officer in charge of investigating the case had mentioned the name River Plate Fund. How could Naobi Kogi get involved with the people of the Vulture Fund?

"That...... When did Mr. Kogi ask you to contact River Plate, and what did you talk about before?"

"I'm sorry for this...... Actually, I don't know. I only remember that before Xiao Mu was the general manager, it seems that he mentioned this fund. In this case, if it is inconvenient for you, I will politely propose to the other party to cancel this meeting!"

As soon as Kenji Hashiwa finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave Hosokawa Kiyofumi's office. At this moment, Hosokawa Kiyofumi suddenly stopped Kenji Hashirin, and then beckoned to him and said:

"Since it's an appointment, don't cancel it, ask the other party if they have time tonight, if so, I'd like to meet with the other party!"

"Eh, President, have you agreed to the meeting?"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, then I'll tell the other party what you mean. ”

As he spoke, Kenji Hashiwa turned around and bowed deeply to Kiyofumi Hosokawa, then gently opened the wooden door of his office. At this moment, Joto, who had just been sent by President Hosokawa to buy lunch for him, also returned, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see Kenji Hashiwa standing in President Hosokawa's office.

"Ah...... It's the seniors of the city, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll take my leave first!"

Joto looked at Kenji Hashiwa who was leaving with some puzzlement, still holding a bowl of steaming pork chop rice in his hand.

"President, this is the pork chop meal you wanted. Excuse me...... Lotus Wheel Jun came to you just now, is it ...... What are you here for?"

"It seems that Xiao Mu Zeng Naobi made an appointment with the people of the Canal Fund to have an interview before his death, and Hasuun-kun got a reply from the other party just now, so he came to tell me as soon as possible. ”

"Isn't that a notorious vulture fund, and how could Managing Director Kogi get in touch with such a company during his lifetime?"

That's actually what I'm wondering about. I really don't understand why Naobu Kogi would be willing to deal with the people of the Canal Fund. But now that it's over, I think I should go and see it!"

Hosokawa Kiyofumi took the chopsticks handed over by the castle, first picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and then picked up the pork chop rice and ate it in a big gulp.
