"In the past few months, it has been hard work for Arai Sang."

"President Shirakawa doesn't need to worry about it."

In the office, Shirakawa Kaede was having a long conversation with Yu Arai, who had returned from the dust.

From the beginning of the new year to June now, about half a year, Arai Hiroshi basically spent time in Akita.

Acquisition of a bank, albeit a local bank. However, the financial relationships involved are still extremely complex.

Financial matters must not be sloppy, especially when it comes to the future of the group.

Shirakawa Kaede can only let Arai Yu do it himself, after all, this is the only person who can be trusted in the banking field.

Although Shirakawa Electric is now developing thrivingly, it is lacking in terms of heritage.

The president of SIC, the head of the two business divisions of Shirakawa Electric, and the Hokuto Bank.

These are the talents that are currently in urgent need of Baichuan Holdings, and people hate them when they use them.

For these scarce talents, Shirakawa Kaede can't be directly airborne.

After all, there are so many old employees, after all, we have to consider everyone's feelings.

In fact, among these urgently needed talents, the physical manufacturing industry is fine.

Shirakawa Kaede understands the process of their operation and can boldly appoint people.

Even if there is an occasional problem, you can top it yourself.

Only the banking industry is not good, he is more professional, and he himself is a layman.

So at present, I can only rely on Hiroshi Arai, and as for those economic talents at Meiji University, they are still too young at the moment.

They were thrown into Shirakawa Holdings by Shirakawa Feng or Beidu Bank to experience.

When they grow up, they won't be able to do it in a few years.

"Arai-san, what do you think of the Hokuto Bank?"

If you want to say who is most familiar with Hokuto Bank now, it is undoubtedly Hiroshi Arai, who has been busy working in Akita for nearly half a year.

"In terms of size, it's only a medium-sized local bank, but the number one bank in Akita is Bank Akita.

This is followed by our Hokuto Bank, and the third is Akita Akebono Bank.

However, although we are in second place, our total assets are nearly double that of Akita Bank, which is in first place.

In terms of gaps, there is still a certain distance to become the first in Akita or out of the Tohoku. ”

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, this was expected.

When I first invested in Beidu Bank, I already had a general understanding.

"However, since the appointment of Astoshi Sasaki, Hokuto Bank's business in the field of public settlement has continued to grow."

After speaking, Arai Yu looked at Shirakawa Kaede with a deep look.

The latter smiled, acquiescing to something.

These are not surprising to him, do you really think that the shares of Beidu Bank are given away for nothing?

The term "public organization" refers to a government agency at the local municipal level, or a state-owned enterprise.

As for the settlement business of public organizations, wherever these institutions deal with banks, they basically choose Beidu Bank.

It's one thing to charge a fee or interest, but the biggest benefit is that Beidu Bank has a relationship with them.

Its local penetration and influence are a valuable asset.

With the backing of public institutions, at least Beidu Bank does not have to worry about suddenly running out of food one day.

And all this is just the reward of the Governor of Akita, Sasaki-san, in some places.

Sure enough, it was still the collusion of officials and businessmen... Phew, it's better to cooperate with local governments to have a future.

"Besides," Arai pushed the glasses on his face, and there was a hint of excitement on his face.

"I only found out when I was sorting out some long-term assets of Beidu Bank.

Hokuto Bank also has a bit of a partnership with some local governments in Iwate and Aomori.

Even in the early Showa period, some small banks were annexed there. ”

"What does Arai-san mean...?" Shirakawa Kaede raised his eyebrows.

"Continue to deepen the cooperation with the local government in the northeast, after all, it is our home base.

Even if it is not good in the future, Beidu Bank will definitely be a powerful presence in Northeast China.

And because of the intertwined relationships, this effect will last for a long time. ”

Seeing Arai Yu's almost explicit look, Shirakawa Kaede understood what he meant.

It is an asset that, like a political asset, can be passed on to the next generation.

Shirakawa Kaede thought of the word "family", as long as Shirakawa Holdings is the absolute majority shareholder of Beidu Bank.

Then this relationship will not change, and will even become more and more stable over time.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Shirakawa Kaede spoke softly. "In the future, the Northern Capital Bank will have to trouble Arai Sanduoduo."

Arai Yu nodded, which was considered to be the case.

"So how should Hokuto Bank plan for Tokyo here, did Arai Sanko think about it?"

After talking about Tohoku, Shirakawa Kaede began to think about Tokyo again.

After all, if it was just a local bank, it wasn't worth his bother.

Going out of Tohoku, extending to Tokyo, and even connecting with international standards is what a bank should be.

"What is Shirakawa-san's future position for Beidu Bank?" Arai Yu, in turn, asked him what he expected first.

"Participation in more economic activities is not limited to the Northeast. Start more banking, from individuals to businesses. ”

This is out of the realm of local banks, but what Shirakawa Kaede said is a matter of course.

Hiroya Arai took it for granted, "Here in Tokyo, we must be determined to build a base camp." ”

There is no doubt that Tokyo is the economic center of the whole neon city, and no major bank will let go of this stage.

However, if Hokuto Bank wants to make a difference in Tokyo, it will have to spend a lot of money.

"I'm already aware of that.

Arai-san can just let it go, and we can try to touch it at the first persuasion silver. ”

"Huh?" Arai Yu showed a look of surprise, "The first persuasion silver is there..."

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, and then he roughly told Arai Yu about the previous meeting with Watanabe Ichiro and the content of the verbal agreement.

"I see, if that's the case, we can talk about it."

Since the First Persuasion Bank already knew about the existence of Beidu Bank, they also reached a tacit understanding with each other.

So simply put it on the bright side, everyone continues to cooperate in depth, and presumably the first persuasion bank will not refuse.

In this way, the other party will know the size of the Beidu Bank and even the approximate business content.

Look, I've stripped off my clothes to show you, it's sincere enough.

The reason why Shirakawa Kaede did this was because the Northern Capital Bank was too weak.

If you want to put down roots in Tokyo, it is still a little too slow without the help of a big bank.

A single inter-bank transfer and withdrawal is a great help for Beidu Bank.

"The first persuasion is there, I will go to contact." As a former owner, Arai Yu still has a bit of a grasp of this part of the business.

Bai Chuanfeng nodded, this matter can only be asked to be done by him.

…

By June, all the relationships between the Northern Metropolis Bank had finally been cleared up.

The signboard of the former Hago Bank, located in Chuo Ward, has also been replaced with a new "Hokuto Bank".

The site for the new building is still being selected, and preparations are underway to rent a few floors of the office building for a short period of time.

The bank's affairs finally landed steadily, and Shirakawa Kaede put down the stone in his heart and prepared to set off for the other side of the ocean.

Yes, this time I went to the rice country Shirakawa Kaede to inspect the site selection of the North American factory.

With three times the local shipments of Neon, it is now well deserved to be the focus of Shirakawa Electric's business.

In order to stabilize the North American market, Shirakawa Electric finally made up its mind to start investing in the local market.

Whether it's a petition or a response to market demands in a timely manner, it's time to put this matter on the agenda.

West Coast, Los Angeles Airport.

"Hi Boss", the pick-up is still the sales director Ulis and Shirakawa North America CEO Howard.

"Hi Hans", of course, is followed by Kaede Shirakawa and Hasegawa.

He kind of missed his one, the San Fernando Valley sweetheart.

However, as soon as he got off the plane, he almost didn't stop when he heard Yuris and them.

These guys are really rude, they give people nicknames, and they don't talk about martial arts.

Looking at Hasegawa's uncomfortable appearance, Shirakawa Kaede also shook his head and smiled.

"Alright guys, let's get a day off today.

We'll have another meeting tomorrow and then we'll look at Shirakawa's location in California. ”

If the time is not very urgent, Shirakawa Kaede is also more willing to enjoy the scenery of Los Angeles slowly, and by the way, the jet lag is reversed.

Every time I come in a hurry and go in a hurry, it's still weird and tiring.

After taking a shower in the hotel at night, Shirakawa Kaede plans to go out for a walk.

This time, he stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Billy Foshan.

Located close to Shirakawa Electric's branch and close to Hollywood, it is a real gathering place for the wealthy.

So don't worry too much about policing, there are police patrolling almost every few meters.

"Kojima-san, don't follow me everywhere. It's rare to come to the country and buy something for your family.

There is also a horse, let's go abroad for the first time, you can go shopping with Kojima-san.

Rest assured, I'll just walk around the neighborhood, and there's no danger. ”

Kojima and Sama glanced at each other, then shook their heads in unison, and continued to follow Shirakawa Kaede.

This... Forget it, let them go.

Kaede Shirakawa walks into a Western restaurant to prepare for dinner.

Kojima is Kaede Shirakawa's driver and also serves as part of the security guard.

Whether it is at home or abroad, as long as Shirakawa Kaede goes out, he will not leave an inch.

This was introduced by the housekeeping company, and they signed a special agreement with each other.

As for Sama, he is a fellow villager of Shirakawa Kaede, from Xiaolu.

Taciturn since childhood, but keen on martial arts, he practiced karate with his elders, and later learned kendo alone.

Since the last time Shirakawa Kaede went back, he was arranged by the elders of Xiaolu Village to be a follower by Shirakawa Kaede's side.

The intentions of the elders there are clear to Shirakawa Kaede.

But he also didn't want to restrict the freedom of the horses too much, after all, they were all young people, and they were the age of curiosity and curiosity.

So Shirakawa Kaede only regarded him as an assistant for the time being, but although Sama didn't talk much, he kept in mind the instructions of his elders.

Except for Shirakawa Kaede returning home, or going to the bathroom, otherwise he will hardly leave an inch.

Both of them were dead-headed, and Shirakawa Kaede gave up his plan to persuade them.

I really can't do it, so when the time comes, buy more things to bring back, and bring their share a little.

Relaxed, he walked into the western restaurant slowly.

Tsk, it's a rich area.

The magnificent lobby, courteous waiters, and quiet and elegant atmosphere reveal the taste of US dollars everywhere.

Shirakawa Kaede sat down by the window, while Kojima and Sama sat at the table behind him.

"It's... Shirakawa-san? ”

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede, who was casually flipping through the menu, raised his head.

——

PS: Starting tomorrow, increase the speed a little.
