Chapter 176 The top floor of the hotel
In the evening, 8:13.
General Hotel, golden jade leaf private room on the top floor of the 76th floor.
There is an elegant square table on the high-end tatami, and a bottle of sake is placed next to it. The tableware, utensils, and even wine glasses on it can be seen at a glance that they are extremely high-end goods and are the unique works of craftsmen. In the private room, there is a faint smell
The singing style of a geisha is obviously a highly trained classical chant, which is subtle and beautiful, and is complemented by the faint sound of shamisen strings, which fully highlights the sense of elegance.
There are two people sitting in the room.
They are——
Kamesaburo, Chairman of Akagi Hotel Group.
Also, Yukihiro Takamatsu, President of Mizuho Tokyo Branch.
Kamesaburo has been waiting since 7 o'clock, almost an hour now, but the congressman still hasn't come. I must ask that gentleman for help with today's matters.
Recently, Kamesaburo is planning the overseas expansion of the Akagi Hotel Group. He has selected a number of Western hotel companies that are currently in decline and plans to initiate acquisitions. In the hotel industry around the world, Eastern hotels have been in a state of silence.
The impact of the situation. Dongyang people obviously have a meticulous service spirit and attitude, and they obviously have first-class business management experience, and they have all three things: people, money, and materials. However, the hotel industry has been languishing around the world.
Kamesaburo is no longer satisfied with dominating the hotel industry in Japan. He wants to enter the world market and compete with Western hotels.
The first step is through acquisition. By acquiring several hotels in the West, Akagi Hotel Group can first establish its fortresses along the coastlines in Western countries. Then, it will expand with these fortresses as the center.
But the problem is that the entire overseas acquisition plan requires foreign exchange.
An extremely large amount of foreign exchange is required.
Therefore, I specially found Yukihiro Takamatsu, the president of Mizuho Tokyo Branch. Takamatsu hit it off with me and thought it was an excellent project. Moreover, Mizuho Bank also had sufficient foreign exchange for Akagi Hotel Group to exchange for the acquisition plan.
However, there is still one level that cannot be passed.
That is the approval of cross-border foreign exchange payments.
At present, Japan's domestic economy is heating up and asset prices are soaring. Japan's central bank pays special attention to cross-border capital flow data. Big figures have adopted strict supervision and approval procedures for cross-border exchange of foreign exchange. In other words,
Japanese companies cannot easily pay domestic foreign exchange to the accounts of foreign companies.
If the price for acquiring equity cannot be paid in foreign currency, then the so-called acquisition plan is out of the question.
Considering that his acquisition plan requires the use of an extremely large amount of foreign exchange, he will inevitably encounter great difficulties in the approval procedures.
Therefore, I used Congress Secretary Kurosawa Sanji as a matchmaker, and after thousands of twists and turns, I contacted the gentleman, hoping that the gentleman could help me with the foreign exchange approval procedures.
Today's dinner will determine the success of Akagi Hotel Group's overseas expansion plan.
Sitting on the other side, Takamatsu, the president of Mizuho Tokyo Branch, was drinking water from a teacup. His eyes were looking at the door of this private room from time to time, and his ears were always paying attention to the footsteps outside the private room. Takamatsu didn't like these geishas.
and the seemingly elegant things inside the shamisen. These songs and the sound of the piano would only disturb his observation of the movement outside the door, and he would not be able to immediately know the movement of the gentleman coming.
He also wanted something from that gentleman.
Takamatsu has been the president of the Tokyo Branch of Mizuho Bank for more than ten years. In the eyes of others, he is the branch president of a top bank in Japan. However, no one knows the bitterness inside.
The regional branch presidents who did the same job as him had already been transferred to the head office. Over the past ten years, people had come and gone, but he could no longer move from his position as regional branch president.
He still didn't understand why the guys at the head office didn't give him a chance when he was in charge of the most important regional branch and had strong business capabilities.
Gao Song felt that this was abnormal. He vaguely felt that someone in the head office wanted to touch him, but he had not yet figured out how to do it. As a social fox for many years, once he had this intuition, he became more and more convinced.
Especially during this so-called nationwide inspection by the head office, he even felt that he would become one of the targets.
Therefore, Takamatsu decided to rebel.
He decided to pry away one of Mizuho Bank's important customers-Akagi Hotel Group.
But the problem is that it is not easy to jump to other banks. At this time, he unexpectedly learned that Kamesaburo, the chairman of Akagi Hotel Group, had actually hooked up with that gentleman. He had long heard that that gentleman had great powers.
, he is also very influential in the financial world. If... if you can seize this opportunity, ask him for advice and show your loyalty, maybe the opportunity to rise to fame will come. Thinking of this, Gao Song couldn't help but feel excited.
In this way, in this small private room, in the elegant atmosphere, the ambitions of two men were wrapped up.
To others he seemed to be a high-ranking figure, but at this moment everyone was listening to every move outside the door. This scene was inexplicably ironic.
suddenly.
A sound of footsteps came through the cardboard.
Although the sound was weak, it immediately reached the ears of the two people in the room.
In an instant, Kamesaburo and Takamatsu immediately raised their heads and stared nervously at the door of the room. Their faces were even a little blue due to nervousness. If someone were around, they might have thought that they were waiting for their wife to give birth outside the delivery room.
s husband.
The next second, the waitress's gentle greeting came from outside the door.
The human figure is vaguely reflected on the cardboard.
Immediately, the cardboard door was opened.
But he saw a young man in his twenties wearing a gray suit appearing at the door of the private room. He looked smart and very eye-catching. He was holding up the phone and kept talking to the person on the other end. Even though he was just
When a young man in his twenties entered the house, he completely ignored the owner of the hotel, like a captain who had seen strong winds and waves.
The person who came was none other than the Secretary of Parliament——
Kurosawa Sanji.
The most important contact with that gentleman.
Seeing that it was not that gentleman, Kamesaburo's originally shining eyes became a little dim again, and he was vaguely disappointed, but on the other hand, he felt that he was getting closer to hope. Secretary Kurosawa had already arrived, and that
Sir will also appear soon.
Kamesaburo had no choice but to continue to wait patiently for the young man in his twenties who was talking on the phone.
Kurosawa kept talking to the phone, and his expression kept changing according to the content of the conversation. It seemed that Kurosawa was talking about the issue of financial bad debts on the phone, and he vaguely heard something about a warehouse.
Words like "pier" make it difficult to figure out what he is talking about.
After about ten minutes, Kurosawa finally hung up the phone and raised his head to look at the two people in the room.
Kamesaburo knelt down on the tatami, maintaining a cautious posture and asked:
Chapter completed!
