At lunchtime, Mizuki Kudo and the others walked into the luxurious private room that had been booked in advance. The two sides were able to sit down on either side of the long quadrangle table.

A sumptuous and exquisite variety of meals were served to the table by the waitresses at Hotel Karuizawa.

Red wine and champagne are also indispensable. The sake used is from Karuizawa Liquor's brand.

Whether it is the Kudo family or the Ishikawa family, not only do they all know that if anyone takes the initiative, it is easy to fall into passivity, and the moment is not just as simple as eating.

It was an informal and formal negotiation. It will not only involve the marriage of Shuichi Kudo and Mika Ishikawa, but also mention a package of matters such as the Ishikawa mayoral election.

Wakana Kudo first went straight to one of the topics and said, "Shuichi and Mika's expenses on the marriage are all borne by our side, no problem, right?" ”

Mrs. Ishikawa said politely with a smile on her face, "How can this be embarrassing? ”

Kudo Wakana said with confidence: "Since you want to be a family, then you won't talk about two families." If you have other requirements, such as a house, a car, etc., you can ask for it. ”

Mrs. Ishikawa also knew in her heart that these were not the main points, but the focus was on her husband's mayoral campaign: "I don't have too many requests from Mika and his father.

The only requirement is to hope that Shuichi can treat Mika well after marriage and not bully her. As for the rest, let the two young men discuss it slowly. ”

Kudo Wakana looked at Mika Ishikawa and smiled, "After you discuss it with Shuichi, just ask him to send me the list and bill." ”

Mika Ishikawa knew that the other party was not only rich, but also able to say something to Masao Ishihara: "Thank you so much for your support of us.

Shuichi and I will definitely discuss it over and over again, try to use every yen on the cutting edge, and never be extravagant and wasteful. ”

Wakana Kudo said no more. It's not that she doesn't understand, she is paying for it. Of course, this money must have come from Masao Ishihara.

Mayor Ishikawa's gaze fell on Ryunosuke Oda's side, and said cryptically: "I have already communicated with Chairman Ishihara about that matter. What does he mean at the moment? ”

Ryunosuke Oda said without hesitation: "I have to ask the eldest lady about this." ”

Mayor Ishikawa's attention shifted from him to Mitsuki Kudo and said, "Does Chairman Ishihara have anything to say for me?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo put down the chopsticks on her right hand, erected a finger on her right hand and said, "My dad meant to give you this number first as a political contribution for your re-election campaign." ”

Mayor Ishikawa's heart was immediately moved, and he didn't understand for a while how much money she was experiencing. To avoid misunderstanding, he made the proper confirmation, "Should this be 10 million yen?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo corrected with a slight smile: "100 million yen." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Mayor Ishikawa's face was full of disbelief, but also along with Mrs. Ishikawa, Mika Ishikawa was greatly surprised.

Mayor Ishikawa didn't expect that his old classmates would be a big deal as soon as they came up. However, he also knows that I'm afraid this money is not easy to get, after all, Masao Ishihara is definitely not a stupid master with a lot of money.

Mayor Ishikawa didn't bend around and said, "If President Ishihara has any additional conditions, you can say it's okay." ”

Mitsuki Kudo said calmly, "My dad only has a small request, and that is that he needs you to assist the Karuizawa Group in handling the steel-related business in Wakayama City in the future. ”

Mayor Ishikawa was not surprised by her request. Before that, I had expected it.

Mayor Ishikawa believes that this one thing will not be so simple and smooth. The reason why he has this idea is completely based on his rich work experience and experience accumulated in the past.

Mayor Ishikawa made a verbal promise: "There is no problem. However, it may not be so simple! ”

Mitsuki Kudo said without hurry: "The steel mill in Wakayama City, and even related industries, I am afraid that they will go through a major reshuffle. This will require the necessary assistance from the Wakayama City Government.

If a number of local enterprises go bankrupt and go bankrupt, it is inevitable that a large number of people will lose their jobs. Naturally, the trade unions will not sit idly by and will inevitably organize workers' protests.

As for the trade unions, they don't have to worry about anything, after all, they can directly buy off the cadres and leaders of the trade unions. Nine times out of ten, if any of them do not agree, they will think that the conditions offered are not good enough.

There is no other chance that all other personnel will be re-employed. This is especially true for the elderly, who may find it difficult to be re-employed.

Of course, this is not an absolute thing. For example, if it has mastered excellent technology, especially core technology or strong research and development capabilities, it is a different matter. ”

Mayor Ishikawa immediately understood, "These people will definitely not only protest inside the factory, but also come to protest in front of the Wakayama City Hall."

One of the most important industries in Wakayama City is the steel industry. Although it has not been very prosperous, a large number of people have been employed.

Your Karuizawa Group has come to such a big reshuffle, which is tantamount to directly smashing how many people and how many families' sources of income.

In addition, the employees of small restaurants, izakayaks, karaoke, small bars, etc. will also be affected indirectly. These people are also dependent on the steel industry for their lives.

The steelworkers are unemployed, who still goes to them to spend? Small businesses in close proximity to steel mills and related companies may also have to close their doors.

I can assure you that they will also organize to protest in front of the Wakayama City Hall. At that time, I don't know how many people will be unable to bear it and go to a dead end. ”

Mitsuki Kudo is not a hard-hearted woman and said, "Personally, I am naturally against it. However, my father's words were not unreasonable.

He is thinking about the problem from a higher strategic dimension. The pain and sacrifice caused by this are inevitable. Otherwise, the future economy of the entire city of Wakayama will be seriously dragged down.

Rather than let the steel-related industries in Wakayama City wait for death, it is better to have a phoenix bathe in fire and be reborn in Nirvana. The cities of Wakayama and Kobe were also former steel bases in the Kansai region of Japan.

How did Kobe Steel in Kobe City become the third largest steel company in Japan after reshuffling and consolidation, and burst into vitality again?

However, the steel industry in Wakayama City is currently in decline. If you don't change the status quo without painful experience, even if you want to maintain the situation, it won't last long. ”
