The president's office in the Karuizawa Trading Co., Ltd. headquarters building in Chuo-ku. Hiroki Ishihara took the initiative to find it and came face-to-face with the president.

Hiroki Ishihara said without the slightest minus: "Please be sure to send me to Africa." ”

The president understood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Why, you also heard that our Karuizawa Trading Company has discovered a very large gold mine in Africa?" ”

Hiroki Ishihara said bluntly, "This is already an open secret within our Karuizawa trading company. ”

The president smiled and said, "Do you know that the place where the gold mine is located is not safe, and from time to time there will be tribal conflicts in the country where it is located.

Now, there are new proven veins of gold there, which are bound to lead to armed conflict between larger tribes. It's not that I'm here to scare you, it's really going to kill people, and a lot of people will die. ”

Hiroki Ishihara didn't want to back down and said, "I know. ”

The president put away the smile on his face and said solemnly, "Since you know everything, then you still want to go?" The third son, it's really not a joke. I don't dare send you. Don't embarrass me. ”

Hiroki Ishihara, of course, knew that the African side was very dangerous. He is not a hero, but to better prove it to his father. Otherwise, he won't be able to produce any very impressive results.

Next year, when I was going to inspect the entire Karuizawa Group's Asian business on behalf of my father, it would never be my turn. He desperately wants to prove himself in front of his father.

Hiroki Ishihara said seriously: "I will be fully responsible for myself, and I have nothing to do with you." I can write a letter of responsibility by handwriting. ”

The president still refused: "Although you are in the Department of Minerals and Metals, you are in charge of the iron ore section under it.

This golden thing has nothing to do with the lesson you're in. Even if you send people to Africa, you won't be selected from your lesson. ”

Hiroki Ishihara went straight and said, "Isn't this simple? Wouldn't it be OK if you just transferred my department a little bit. ”

The president still refused, "I can't be the master like that." ”

Hiroki Ishihara said without being verbose: "Why did you agree to send me to the African side?" ”

The president of the club said Tai Chi, "I don't dare to agree. If you insist on going to Africa, you can only go to the president. The president sent me a message, and I did as it was. ”

Ishihara Hiroki knew that it would be absolutely useless for him to take the initiative to go to his father to talk about this matter. Even if there is that case, it will be strongly opposed by mothers, grandmothers, etc.

On the one hand, they don't put themselves in danger, and on the other hand, they don't want to be scared of themselves all day. It all stems from their love for themselves.

In fact, not only Karuizawa trading companies, but also Japan's five major trading companies, as well as other trading companies, deploy mercenaries in politically unstable and war-torn countries or regions.

As for the purpose, it is nothing more than to protect one's own interests and investments from harm. Among them, the most important mines are directly responsible for and operated.

The Karuizawa Group also has a private military company called Karuizawa Security. Its role is to cooperate and assist Karuizawa Trading Company in sending mercenaries to countries or regions in need.

Of course, this is not the only case for oneself, as other local Japanese trading companies and large mining companies in other countries will have such private military companies.

Even if it is not directly controlled, it will be indirectly controlled. Essentially, it's all the same. It's just that the name is different, that's all. After all, if you use someone else's, what if you have your own, is it more convenient?

There will definitely be endorsements from the government and the military. All this is not just for private purposes to make money, but also to ensure the security of the interests and resources of the state.

Therefore, his father, one of the top ten chaebols, is really able to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and his influence not only involves Japan's financial, financial, and political circles, but also involves the military circles.

In the past, the reason why he didn't dabble was not because he didn't want to, but because his own strength was not enough. Now, the strength has long been enough, so naturally it will not let go.

The chaebols, as the kings of a country, are really not just talking. What's more, it is not only retired soldiers who need to be reemployed, but also retired officers and generals who need to be reemployed.

In this world, people can lack everything, but they can't lack money. There aren't many high-paying jobs, and not everyone can do them.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the president persuaded him with kind words: "Third son, you are still so young, do you still need to worry that you will not have a chance to perform in the future?"

Others need meritorious service to be able to get there, but you don't need it at all. I'm sure you've heard the saying that a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Why do you have to risk your own life? ”

Hiroki Ishihara naturally understands such a truth and says: "The problem is ...... next year"

The president, who also heard the rumor, said seriously: "Third prince, throughout history, whether in Japan or in other countries, the first person to be established as the prince may not necessarily inherit the throne.

The ultimate winner often knows how to accumulate his own strength in secret, and never cares about the current gains and losses. As long as the time comes, it will be a desperate fight.

During the Warring States period in Japan, how many people at that time would have thought that the world would eventually belong to the Tokugawa family? Tokugawa Hidenaka, the second Tokugawa general, is only the concubine of Tokugawa Ieyasu, not the eldest son. ”

He paused deliberately when he said this, and especially emphasized: "Tokugawa Hidetada is the third son and third son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. At that time, how many people would have expected that Deguo Kang would pass on the throne to his son?

Tokugawa Nobuyasu (also known as Matsudaira Nobuyasu), that is the eldest son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He has always been nurtured as the heir of Tokugawa Ieyasu. ”

Hiroki Ishihara is such a smart person, naturally he completely understood when he heard it: "Thank you for waking up." ”

Although the president just smiled and did not speak, his eyes showed undisguised appreciation. As one of the "feudal officials", he can't say something clearly.

Even if he is optimistic about Hiroki Ishihara, he can't directly bet on the other party at the moment.

The present is not the same as it was in the past. In the past, the retainers had no choice at all in many cases, but the current retainers had a lot of choice, and they were not in a hurry to choose to stand in line at all.

What's more, his heart is like a mirror, and it is really unwise to participate in the battle for the throne of the Ishihara family in a panic, after all, Masao Ishihara is still in the prime of life, and his health is also good!

Besides, he was able to sit in this position, and it was also promoted by Masao Ishihara. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to mess with the interior.
