Chiyoda Ward, home of Naoki Ishihara. As his wife, Shi Yuanhui walked into the study and took the initiative to close the door. She was able to sit down on a couch next to him.

Shi Yuanhui said in a slightly stiff tone: "You still have the leisure to read elegantly!" ”

Naoki Ishihara closed the book in his hand, put it aside and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Keidanren said bluntly: "At the end of this year, my father has already spoken about it personally, and this time I will take Hiroki there." ”

Naoki Ishihara said calmly: "Hiroki will go to Hiroki." ”

Shi Yuanhui frowned and said, "In the past, Dad always took you there. This year, how did it change? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with your performance at work this year? ”

Naoki Ishihara did not excuse himself with the bad global economic environment: "It's true that I didn't do well in my work this year. ”

While Shi Yuanhui defended her husband, the spearhead was directly pointed at Ishihara Hiroki and said: "It's not your fault, after all, the global economic environment is not good."

Not only have you done your best, but you've done a great job. You've done a good job this year in the midst of a general large floating loss in the entire Japanese financial industry.

Even Nomura Securities has a lot more floating losses than Karuizawa Commercial Bank. I don't understand what the hell Dad thinks?

Even if you don't have merit, there is hard work. Why can't he see it? As for Yuki, what outstanding achievements does he have? ”

Naoki Ishihara said lukewarmly: "If you can understand what Dad thinks, then you can be regarded as a character." Dad's true thoughts, don't speculate in vain.

Since you have mentioned Hiroki again and again, my personal opinion is that it is precisely because Hiroki has joined the work force and officially stepped into the society and the workplace that it is more important for him to show his face at the Japan Keidanren. Otherwise, some of the bigwigs really don't know who he is. ”

Ishihara didn't care at all whether the bigwigs knew who Hiroki Ishihara was, but only cared about the future of his man and said, "Aren't you worried about what others think of you?"

Some of them will think in their hearts that you have fallen out of favor with your father, so that your father's attention is focused on cultivating Yuki. ”

Naoki Ishihara laughed and said, "I'm afraid you don't even believe you when you say this!" Assuming that I really fall out of favor, the person who comes directly to replace me should not be Yuki, but Hideki.

Since my father didn't take Hideki to Keidanren, it means that I didn't fall out of favor with my father at all.

Even if my father took Hideki to the Japan Keidanren, it doesn't mean that I have fallen out of favor. This attendance at Keidanren once, is that as serious as you said? ”

Seeing that he was unmoved, Shi Yuanhui said: "Things need to come step by step. This year, you will not be allowed to attend the Japan Keidanren, and next year you will not be able to visit the entire Karuizawa Group's business in Asia.

Your position in the Karuizawa Group will be shaken little by little, and it is only natural that Hideki or Hiroki will replace you. ”

Ishihara Naoki immediately cried and laughed: "If I didn't know that your starting point was for my good, I would definitely cover you with a trick to provoke the feelings between our brother and father and son." You can still raise the fetus with peace of mind, and it will not be so serious at all. ”

Shi Yuanhui was anxious and said, "Why don't you take it to heart?" Personally, this is a clear signal. In Dad's mind, you are not the only successor. ”

Naoki Ishihara laughed again and said, "Hideki, Hiroki, and even those illegitimate children of my father outside have the qualifications to be successors.

If our sons don't make it, Nao, Nana, and other illegitimate daughters are also qualified to be Dad's successors. ”

Shi Yuanhui said unhappily: "Only if you become the successor, then the child in my belly can become your successor." ”

Naoki Ishihara went straight and said, "Didn't you let the doctor tell you whether it was a boy or a girl in this belly?" You have to wait until the day you are born. ”

Shi Yuanhui didn't beat around the bush and said, "I should know from the attitude of my mother, grandmother, and my mother's family who are particularly concerned about me.

Although everyone didn't say it directly in words, they had already heard the exact information in advance through various connections. ”

Naoki Ishihara did not hesitate to say with praise: "My wife is really a woman who is smart and beautiful, beautiful and wise. ”

Shi Yuanhui saw that he wanted to change the topic, so he pulled the topic back and said, "Don't talk about me, or talk about you." ”

Naoki Ishihara spread his hands and said, "What is there to say about my affairs." Once Dad has made up his mind, he can't change it 100 percent.

At the very least, 99 percent of the time will not change. Would you do 100 percent for that one percent? ”

"From a certain point of view, it's better for Dad to take Hiroki to the Japan Keidanren Federation than to take Hideki there. As we all know, Dad likes Hideki the most.

This is also a blessing in the midst of misfortune. Now, one of the things I'm most worried about is what those old courtiers of the Ishihara family will think of you, the eldest son? ”

Naoki Ishihara pointed out, "Why don't you think about it from a different perspective? I would like to take this opportunity to see what the real attitude of those old courtiers is towards me. Or rather, who are the people who are actively or obviously on Yuki's side? ”

Shi Yuanhui suddenly realized: "It makes sense. However, this time, the people who can't help jumping out are probably not big fish.

In my personal opinion, except for Karuizawa Trading Company, which will be more proactive, the rest of the old courtiers are difficult to say. The old guys are all thieves. They are often the ones who do not scatter the eagle without seeing the rabbit. ”

Naoki Ishihara said eloquently: "The fewer people who jump out, the more it can show that the situation is not tight and the situation is unclear."

In fact, I believe that more people are still in the wait-and-see stage. The first person to jump out does not rule out that some people want to gamble big.

The more you bet when the situation is unclear, or even make an all-you-or-nothing bet, although the failure rate is large, the corresponding odds will be higher.

It's really decided that the overall situation has been decided, and if he stands in line again, there will be nothing for him. There is no greater credit in the world than from the dragon's work, and the greatest return on investment can also be obtained from the dragon's work. ”
