A few days later, Ryunosuke Oda returned to his hometown of Karuizawa from other places. On the same day, Yuto Oda also made a special trip home from Tokyo.

Grandfather Oda saw that his son and grandson had returned, so he blurted out, "Your father and son must have discussed." ”

Oda Yuto did not deny it: "Grandfather, the movement you made on Respect for the Aged Day is really not small. Just yesterday, the second son said to me in person, all of them are in their seventies and eighties, and they are still so angry. ”

Grandfather Oda asked in disbelief, "Second son, did you really say this to you personally?" ”

Oda Yuto said with a serious expression: "Is it necessary for me to deceive the old man about this one thing?" If it weren't for this one thing, I wouldn't have come back at all.

Nowadays, more and more people not only know, but also watch the relevant shooting videos. Isn't it just a first seat? As for being impulsive? ”

Oda grandfather said with a serious expression, "This is not a question of the first seat, but an issue of dignity for all the official retired members of our Karuizawa Whisky Distillery. Mizukawa, what kind of thing is this old guy?

What qualifications does he have to sit in that first seat? Just because his son Takashi Mizukawa was reused by the chairman this year and became the president of Karuizawa Heavy Industries, so it was his time?

It doesn't make sense. Which factory did Mizukawa retire from, and which factory did I retire from? After all, he is not a member of the Ishihara family at all.

The old guy even dared to boast in front of me, he Mizukawa family has worked for the Ishihara family for six generations. It's pure fart.

If it weren't for the fact that the chairman had acquired the shochu shop where he was located so many years earlier, even Mizukawa himself would not have worked for the Ishihara family for a day, let alone that special recruitment quota.

Besides, let's say that this year makes Mizukawa sit on the first seat, then next year, the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow...... He still has to sit in the first seat.

The faces of those of us who have officially retired from the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery and worked diligently for the Ishihara family have not been trampled under the feet of others? ”

Ryunosuke Oda nodded, and his mind began to recall the past and said, "Dad, if you want to say that, it really makes sense."

In any case, the chairman took over the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery from the very beginning. At that time, we were in a difficult situation that no one who had experienced it firsthand could have experienced it.

Under the wise leadership of the president, everyone worked together and sincerely united to slowly tide over the difficulties, turn the crisis into safety, and gradually get better.

Although it was really bitter at that time, it gave people a very promising feeling. Actually! The main thing is that the president not only paints the pie, but also inspires us in particular.

I still remember very well that the chairman called everyone together and said that he wanted to make Karuizawa Whisky Distillery the largest whisky distillery in Japan.

At that time, I didn't talk about anyone else, even in my heart, I didn't believe it. After all, such a small whisky distillery in Japan is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The result? Not only have we become the largest whisky distillery in Japan, but we have also become the world's largest liquor conglomerate and one of Japan's top 10 zaibatsu. ”

He paused at this point, a proud smile on his face, and continued, "It felt like a sweet dream.

If I had wavered and resigned voluntarily, I would not have been where I am today, and my status as a genealogical retainer of the Oda family.

Of course, we are not the only ones who have benefited greatly. One by one, the temporary workers of the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery have all been turned into full-time workers. Among them, some people have entered the management and become middle-level cadres.

In terms of our business development, the first step to take the initiative is also to override public opinion and directly bet on cider to be a great success.

The second step was to make a big fuss about Chinese rice wine by acquiring the Zhuangyuanlang Rice Distillery in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.

Mizukawa Takashi was not only fortunate to accompany the chairman to go abroad to complete this acquisition, but also Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province was his blessed land and place of development in the future. As for this shochu shop, which used to be the ancestral business of the Ishihara family, it is already quite a matter of the future.

During this period, the chairman also acquired a large number of shares in Korean breweries, rice distilleries, and shochu factories, as well as several domestic liquor brands in advance, and took control of some of the main raw materials for whisky.

There is no dispute about which factory you really want to respect is the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery. It was the beginning of the business empire that the president has laid down today. ”

Oda grandfather said with a smile on his face: "I love to hear this." This is the history of our Karuizawa Group. Karuizawa Shochu Shop was not ranked at all in the early planning of the chairman.

If it weren't for the fact that it used to be the ancestral business of the Ishihara family, I wouldn't have bought it back. If you don't buy it back, there will be no such thing as the old guy Mizukawa clamoring for. ”

Oda asked in surprise, "Dad, why did you breathe out of the same nostril with your grandfather?" If the president knew about this, how would you explain it? My grandfather was one of the main culprits. ”

When Oda grandfather heard this, he suddenly panicked, and said cautiously, "The president won't really know, right?" ”

Oda Yuto said straightly: "The second son knows it, do you think the president can not know?" ”

Oda grandfather was afraid that his own incident would have a negative impact on his son and grandson's impression in the president's mind, and said, "One person does the work and the other is responsible, and I will personally go to the door to apologize." Whether the president scolds me or beats me, he has no regrets. ”

Ryunosuke Oda immediately cried and laughed: "Dad, it's not as serious as you think." The president must have known. Since he didn't ask me about it, it means that he didn't pay attention to it at all.

However, starting next year's Respect for the Aged Day, I will completely separate the two groups of retirees who have begun to deal with each other. ”

After hearing what his son said, Oda Grandfather didn't care about his own matter, so he started to coax again: "It's not like these people who have retired from our Karuizawa Whisky Distillery will have to hide from Mizukawa's gang of old guys on Respect for the Aged Day!" ”

Ryunosuke Oda explained, "Not really. The Karuizawa Hotel Group is not only a high-end hot spring resort in Karuizawa.

Divide you directly into two different high-end hot spring resorts, and nothing will happen? At that time, you will no longer have trouble because of the first seat. ”
