Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1056 Utilization Value
Inaba, a nightclub.
Two years ago, Nan Yi met a female publicist named Shirasaka Aki at another nightclub called Jie Yu Hua . He thought this woman was very capable, so he left her a business card of Karikyo Ikeda. Later, Shirasaka Aki contacted Karikyo Ikeda, and the two parties cooperated to open Inaba, in which Xu Ikushinsha, a subsidiary of Ikeda Company, held a 55% stake.
In the corner, in a booth with good privacy, Nan Yi was flipping through the business documents of Xu City Credit Union in his hand, and next to him sat Ikeda Karikyo.
Xu City Credit Company is a company that specializes in providing financing services to brothels and nightclubs. Although the clients it serves are not very glamorous, it is a spotless company that does legitimate business and does not operate in the gray area, let alone the black area.
After a long while, Nan Yi closed the information and said to Ikeda Karikyo, "Business is good, and the bad debt rate is not high. Is Tokyo's entertainment industry still in a downturn?"
"Yes, there are brothels closing down every day, and very few can survive for more than a year."
"The risk control audit should be stricter. It is better to have less business than to generate too many bad debts. Xu City Credit Union is an unintentional willow. It will do as long as it can. Don't worry too much."
Xu City Credit Agency already holds shares in several broker-type nightclubs. For Nan Yi, the goal of expanding the source of intelligence has been achieved, and he doesn't care too much whether the financing business can continue.
Ikeda Karikyo nodded and said, "President, Hachiko Recycling has been recovering an increase in stolen items recently, and detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department have been there twice."
Nan Yi pondered for a while and said, "After two years of peak business, the profits of Hachiko Recycling are no longer as high as before. It doesn't make much sense to continue operating it. Ikeda-kun, find a buyer to sell it out."
"OK."
"Let's get to the point."
Ikeda Karikyo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "President, the hospital has news that Okura Kishichiro has about three months left."
"Longest or shortest?"
“The most optimistic outcome.”
Nan Yi nodded, "Continue."
"Kirokuro Okura's business talent has been proven, but it is very average. Under his management, Okura Shoji's business volume began to shrink, down 40% from two years ago.
Okura Trading also had internal personnel problems. Five female employees were promoted very quickly. In two years, three members were promoted to section chiefs, one director was promoted to vice director, and the last member was promoted to senior secretary in two years.
[Section chief is equivalent to the leader of a working group, with three to five people under him; director is an old employee who has worked for five years or more and has no official position; section chief is almost the manager of a small department; deputy director is the deputy manager of a large department; Japanese female secretaries are divided into trainee (odd jobs), junior (senior odd jobs), intermediate (secretaries of large companies in the usual sense)...]
"How many senior secretaries does Okura Kirokuro have?"
A senior secretary in a Japanese company is almost equivalent to Han Zhenhe. For an ordinary employee to sit in such a position directly is simply playing with the future of the company. Even if the employee is the boss's daughter, she would not do this. At least she has to transition to other middle-level positions.
"Only one."
Nan Yi stroked his chin, "Ikeda-kun, we have to speed up. If Okura Shoji continues to develop like this, it will become a shell. What is the name of Okura Kirokuro's sister?"
"Okura Keiko."
"Tell me the information."
"Keiko Okura was born in 1972. She is currently studying business at Hitotsubashi University. She has excellent grades, has never worked in a company, and her business talent is unknown."
"What does he look like?"
Ikeda Karikyo took out a photo, and Nan Yi took it and looked at it. She looked like a typical Japanese woman, and you can find a lot of them on the street. She had no advantages, but also no disadvantages. She was very mediocre.
"Is there any other girl in the Okura family who is not worthy of Ieyasu?"
"No." Ikeda Karikyo shook his head, "The president has supported Ieyasu for many years, and it's time for him to work for the president."
Nan Yi hesitated for a while and sighed, "Show the photo to Jiakang. I feel sorry for him."
"Hayi."
"Ikeda-kun, I can't stay in Japan for too long. I'll leave this matter entirely to you. Don't make any mistakes."
Ikeda Karikyo bowed and said, "Please rest assured, President."
After finishing the business, Ikeda Karikyo called two female public relations over. Nan Yi chatted with one of them for a while. After more than an hour, they left and went to a Japanese restaurant called Kyuwa near Kabukicho.
Nan Yi sat down, and the tiger cub left and went to an izakaya in Kabukicho.
The name of the izakaya is "Black", and it only provides alcohol and no other services. There are not many customers coming here on weekdays, and the main source of customers are the guides on the streets of Kabukicho.
A few years ago, a Chinese student named Xu Tianmu came to Kabukicho. After working as a guide here, he met the two brothers Bao Gang and Bao Xu. Through Bao Xu, he met an American named Kuroki Kai.
This Kuroki Kai is a very remarkable person. He worked as a guide in Kabukicho for a short time, but he established himself here. Then he grew stronger step by step, and in two years he almost monopolized the guide business in Kabukicho. 90% of the guides who solicited customers in Kabukicho were employees of the free guide agency run by Kuroki Kai.
Black, that is, the black of Kuroki Kai.
Kuroki Kai was a spy planted here by the Intelligence Planning Committee's intelligence team. He was mainly responsible for collecting information from the front-line staff in Kabukicho.
The company's employees come to Kabukicho to relax after working overtime. After a few cups of soup, the tense nerves are relaxed and it is easy for colleagues to open up and vent their complaints about their own company and gossip about their direct supervisors.
Seemingly boring content, as long as enough is accumulated, organized into a string, and then analyzed, it is entirely possible to explore the actual situation of a certain industry. The conclusions drawn from this analysis can be much more accurate than the officially released data.
What's more, among the guests there are senior members of various companies, and the information they spew out is more valuable for analysis. When Nan's speculation on Tokyo land was successfully completed, the information provided by Kuroki Kai played a big role.
Tiger cub had drunk half a glass of wine in Hei when Hei Mu Kai came, waved his hand to send the bartender away, and then sat down next to Tiger cub.
"Tiger, long time no see."
Tiger cub swirled his wine glass, turned to look at Kuroki Kai, and raised his glass to him, "Happy wedding, which one is it this time?"
"six."
"You're lucky." Tiger cub teased, and then said in a deep voice: "The chairman of Okura Corporation, Okura Kirokuro, has a new senior secretary. Check her background and get her."
"Got."
"The boss takes this matter very seriously."
After the tiger cub finished speaking, he hugged Kuroki Kai, then turned and left the izakaya. Instead of going to Jiuhe, he returned to Lake Kawaguchi first.
Long and.
Nan Yi was eating roasted dried horse mackerel and looking sideways at Shimada Shinsuke teasing his little quail.
Shimada Shinsuke used to be a comedian, and later became a TV host. He is known for his unique, sharp and humorous hosting style, and has created many TV programs with high ratings.
Sayuri Hagiwara really likes watching the shows he hosts. During his time in Japan, Nan Yi often saw her on TV, but this was the first time he saw her in real life.
Nan Yi didn't understand the funny points of Japanese crosstalk, and was not impressed by Shimada Shinsuke's hosting. His eyes were not on Shimada Shinsuke, but on the little quail.
Looking at the face of the little quail, Nan Yi calculated with his fingers and figured out that the other party was a woman named Ji Xiang. Not surprisingly, her last name should be Fujiwara , and her age... His skills were not good enough to calculate it.
The little quail trembled with grievance in his eyes, enduring the dirty hands of Shimada Shinsuke, but he was saying nice flattering words and holding the cup in his hand to feed the other party wine.
Nan Yi searched his mind twice but couldn't remember what Norika Fujiwara did. He had never heard her songs or watched her movies or TV series. Apart from seeing a few pictures, he knew nothing about her. Inexplicably, the memory of Japanese female star Norika Fujiwara was engraved in his mind.
What he saw now was a picture of a junior enduring humiliation and seeking support from his senior. He guessed that the other person should be a newcomer at the TV station.
After looking at her a few more times, Shimada Shinsuke's phone rang. He picked up the phone, let go of Fujiwara Norika and went outside. Fujiwara Norika, who was freed from the confinement, breathed a sigh of relief and inadvertently met Nan Yi's eyes. Knowing that the other party had seen what happened just now, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.
She hurriedly avoided Nan Yi's gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to hide her embarrassment. After a while, she secretly looked at Nan Yi again, and saw that he was no longer looking at her. She felt a little relieved, but also a little lost.
Norika Fujiwara is a person who is proud of her appearance. Now there is a man who is not obsessed with her beauty. She feels a little bit of a failure. Moreover, this man should not be simple and should have a very high status. She looked at the fairy standing against the wall behind Nan Yi again, thinking that if she meets her again next time, she will take the initiative to make friends with her.
Nan Yi didn't know that he had become a resource in the eyes of others. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. No one is anyone's resource. In this society, no one is not being utilized. It's just that the word "utilize" has been replaced and beautified by other words that are easier to hear and more pleasant to the ear. If a person has no value to be utilized, he is not far from death.
At this moment he is thinking about what to do tomorrow. There won't be much to do tomorrow and he will be relatively free, so he needs to find a place to kill time.
