Returning to his hometown of Karuizawa, Takashi Mizukawa, standing in front of the headquarters building with a melancholy face. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to retire just like that. This aspect is dedication. I don't feel old at all.

He thinks he'll have no problems working for another 10 years. The other aspect is based on the most realistic needs. Once you retire, you will no longer have any power, except that your personal income will be greatly reduced.

Mizukawa Takashi lived to be almost sixty years old, and can he understand that men live in this world in addition to money, and then there is power.

If you have no power, you can't enjoy the saddle and back of the saddle from your subordinates...... The sense of accomplishment and vanity satisfaction it brought to him was unparalleled.

Mizukawa Takashi was apprehensive, and he re-started his steps and walked forward. He walked smoothly into the president's office and met Masao Ishihara.

Masao Ishihara saw that he was a little lacking and said, "Last night, you didn't sleep well?" ”

When Mizukawa Takashi heard this, he instantly tried to cheer up his spirit. He was afraid that the president would think that he was too old to be used.

Mizukawa Takashi just wants to show that he is not old-fashioned in front of the chairman: "No. When I say it, I'm not afraid that the president will laugh. Just last night, two old friends insisted on taking me to our Karuizawa Red Romance to play.

I couldn't get rid of it, so I played late. On weekdays, I'm definitely not like this. ”

Masao Ishihara just smiled and said, "You are old, and your heart is not old." ”

Mizukawa Takashi hurriedly explained: "I'm not old! A lot of people are my age and go to bed early. Not only is the quality of their sleep poor, but their sleep duration is intermittent.

I slept very well, and I was able to sleep until dawn. At night, the number of times I get up to go to the bathroom is very rare, at most twice.

I don't have my eyes, my ears down, my hands shaking, and I don't even have a loose tooth. I have insisted on fitness, and my body is good! If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you. ”

After he finished speaking, he took off his blazer and directly lay down and started doing push-ups. There is no problem with my physical strength at all.

Masao Ishihara watched him do push-ups without stopping. He also wanted to see how the other person was doing. For this reason, I still silently counted the other party in my heart.

Mizukawa Takashi really couldn't do it himself, so he stopped. He stood up again, and deliberately showed his biceps and said, "President, look." ”

Masao Ishihara nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you can still do 32 push-ups in one go." ”

Takashi Mizukawa said bluntly: "My energy is also good. Staying up late and working overtime is not as easy for me as it was when I was younger, but it is still quite easy. ”

Masao Ishihara said: "I urgently recall you, not for anything else, just to make you the first president of Karuizawa Heavy Industries." ”

Mizukawa Takashi was stunned on the spot. He had thought of everything, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Ishihara Masao saw that he didn't react for a long time, so he blurted out: "What, you don't want to?" ”

Mizukawa Takashi reacted at this time, still incredulous: "No, no, no, President, you can't joke with me." ”

Ishihara Masao said calmly: "In terms of personal qualifications, among the incumbents, if you recognize the second, no one dares to recognize the first.

In terms of personal ability, you are known as the master of water within our Karuizawa Group. Not only that, but you've worked in Japan, China, and South Korea, and you're doing a good job.

If you can bring together people from different countries, cultures, and ideas, you should be able to bring people from different factions together.

Karuizawa Heavy Industries' side is all Japanese. I have to say that there is any difference between them, it is probably the difference between the Kansai people and us Kanto people in some customs.

Although the steel-related companies in Wakayama City were acquired and integrated by the Karuizawa Group, they were only formally unified.

Actually, the people of different enterprises, that is, different factions. Time is essential for them to have a unified understanding of the Karuizawa Group's corporate culture, especially to create a sense of belonging in their hearts.

In order for Karuizawa Heavy Industries to proceed smoothly in the future, it is necessary to balance the various complex personnel relationships involved.

Even if we achieve absolute control in Karuizawa Group, it will still involve the interests of some small shareholders. It's not that we can't be 100% wholly owned.

The main reason why some people hold a certain amount of shares is to reduce the time and resistance in the acquisition process.

However, I don't have to worry about this aspect, and I decided to let Naoki join the board of directors of Karuizawa Heavy Industries to deal with it.

Your focus is on day-to-day operations. If you are in charge of Karuizawa Heavy Industries, I can rest assured. ”

Mizukawa Takashi was excited, but also had his own worries: "President, you know that I have only worked in light industry in my life. I don't really have any work experience in heavy industry. ”

Masao Ishihara said unhappily: "Whether it is light industry or heavy industry, it is industry. At the end of the day, it's still business. As long as it's business, then everything will never deviate.

First, the quality of the product should be good enough, after all, it is the foundation of an enterprise. If you don't even have a good product and no market, then what else can you do?

The second is to do a good job in sales. No matter how good the product is, it needs to be able to sell it. Only when it is sold smoothly and profitably can a virtuous circle be formed.

Third, cost control. One category that the steel industry can't get around is special steel. Why does Japan's special steel account for a quarter of the total annual production and even sell well all over the world?

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is not that other countries cannot make some special steel, but that the cost is always unbeatable.

If this critical problem cannot be solved, then the more production there is, the more losses there will be. A handful of countries are losing money in order to maintain relevant research and product categories.

Or use state administrative means, raise tariffs, high subsidies, and so on to protect. Even so, it is sometimes loose and sometimes tight, and it is forced to import large quantities.

Otherwise, the country's relevant industrial chain will be seriously negatively affected, especially the products used for export to earn foreign exchange will lose their competitiveness in the international market. ”
