Chapter 222: Orientation
The objective fact that Hiroki Ishihara was the third son of Masao Ishihara spread through the population, and it spread quickly within the Karuizawa Trading Company.
He was placed in the metal minerals department. This category is ranked first not only in Karuizawa Trading Company, but also among the five major trading companies in Japan.
Under a certain category, it will be subdivided into several subcategories. Hiroki Ishihara's entry into the company is in charge of the trading of iron ore, which is one of the international commodities.
Not only that, but it has also invested in and invested in several overseas mining companies. Nowhere is this more famous than Australia's BHP Billiton and Brazil's Vale.
There are even two overseas iron ore companies that are directly operated by Karuizawa Trading Company. Doing this kind of business requires not only a large amount of capital investment, but also a broad and deep network.
Hiroki Ishihara definitely didn't make a choice casually, it was all after his careful consideration. He saw that since his father had taken a stake in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, it meant that the consumption of iron ore would increase significantly.
Heavy industry has always been a major consumer of iron ore. As Japan's largest trading company, Mitsubishi Corporation is not the only one that can provide a steady stream of iron ore to its affiliated company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The Karuizawa Group has a stake in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which means that this cake will be a piece of the pie. In the future, Karuizawa Trading Company will certainly be able to supply iron ore to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
In the evening, when it was time to get off work, all the staff of the first section of the Metal and Mineral Department gathered at a high-end Japanese restaurant. The Japanese and Chinese think similarly in many ways.
Japanese people think that eating Japanese food is formal enough. This is the same as Chinese who think that eating Chinese food is formal enough.
Once they were seated in one of the largest and most luxurious private rooms at this high-end Japanese restaurant, they immediately began to mingle.
The section leader deliberately sat on the left hand side of Hiroki Ishihara, and was the first to raise his glass and say, "Welcome to join." ”
Hiroki Ishihara also picked up the sake glass and said, "Thank you, I will definitely integrate in as soon as possible and become a part." ”
When he had finished speaking, he threw up his head and drank. As soon as he put down the empty glass, the section leader took the initiative to pour wine for him. This seems to be an upside down, but it is not.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the purpose of Hiroki Ishihara's work here is to focus on training as the next future president of Karuizawa Trading Company.
Hiroki Ishihara saw that all the people here were men, so he said casually: "Our class is a monk class, and there is not even a single woman?" ”
The section chief said straightly: "As you can see, this is it. We didn't mean to target women, but it wasn't easy to get into Karuizawa Trading Company, let alone get into our class.
Iron ore is not only an international commodity, but also one of the national strategic material reserves. Its importance is self-evident.
From ships and vehicles to nuts and nuts, iron ore is inseparable. In the past two years, the most eye-catching and prominent aspects of the Japanese economy have been our trading companies.
Our Karuizawa trading company made a profit of 150% last year. Everyone just got the bonus of the two seasons of the year, and they couldn't keep their mouths shut at all, and they felt like they were back in the 80s of the last century, when the Japanese economy was in its heyday.
As soon as these things were reported by the mainstream media, not only did all the Japanese people basically know about it, but also made the fresh graduates feel unbearable.
This year, for example, there are N times more recent college graduates who want to work in a trading company than in previous years. As we all know, large trading companies have always been difficult to enter.
Now, it's harder to get into. The reason why they are so active is, on the one hand, that they have more money and are well treated in all aspects, and on the other hand, because of stability. ”
The head of the department, who was on the right hand side of Hiroki Ishihara, answered, "The existence of a large trading company has been fully justified for more than 100 years since the Meiji Restoration.
Facts have once again proved that even if the overall economic environment is not good, it is not only not hindering its development, but on the contrary, it is conducive to its development.
Once there is a regional tension, confrontation and conflict in the world...... Then commodities, especially resource commodities, will become sought-after goods. This price is going up all the way.
Compared with the five major trading companies in Japan, Karuizawa Trading Company was established relatively late, but its development speed is definitely not slow. I am confident that we at Karuizawa Trading Co., Ltd. will one day become one of the five largest trading companies in Japan. ”
Hiroki Ishihara said categorically: "I will definitely become the largest trading company in Japan instead of becoming one of the five largest trading companies in Japan." ”
As soon as he said this, not only the head of the department understood, but also the head of the section heard it clearly and clearly. It seems that the other party's ambitions are not small.
If it's someone else, even if it's not nonsense, it's just a drink talk. However, the person who said this was Hiroki Ishihara, so the meaning was completely different.
The section leader reacted quickly, and seriously stated his personal position and attitude: "I am willing to follow you to the death." ”
The head of the department also hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "I am also willing to swear to follow you." ”
Hiroki Ishihara's heart was very calm, and he just smiled and said, "Don't make it like a big river drama." What I just said was bookish. ”
The section leader said seriously: "I know that you must have great talents. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that. ”
The head of the department also said with a serious expression: "Under your leadership in the future, Karuizawa Trading Company will definitely be able to become the No.1 among Japanese trading companies." ”
In the current orientation party, Hiroki Ishihara is the real protagonist. In the past, the so-called orientation party, the protagonist will not be a newcomer at all, but a section leader. If the head of the department is not there, then he will be the head of the department. In short, whoever has a high rank is the protagonist.
After drinking two more drinks with Hiroki Ishihara, the section leader said something that seemed casual, but in fact it was specifically for the other party: "I know you young people like to make new friends. I have a niece who is a first-year student at Keio University.
People are not only quite beautiful, but also very virtuous. She has never had a boyfriend, and she is a typical Yamato Nadeshiko. Find a time where we can play golf together, what do you think? ”
Hiroki Ishihara understood exactly as soon as he heard this. If you are really an ordinary newcomer, you must not be able to refuse, and you must not refute the other party's face. Even if you are reluctant, you have to bite the bullet.
From a certain point of view, leaders look up to themselves and want to strengthen their bonds and relationships with each other. However, he is not an ordinary newcomer, but the strongest newcomer.
Hiroki Ishihara politely refused: "Start a business first, then start a family." Men should be career-oriented. ”
