"Today's early trading, the stock price of construction giant Toshima Construction, which had just resumed trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, plummeted, evaporating hundreds of billions of yen in market value in one day. The losses have been heavy, and the stock crash of Toshima Construction may be just the beginning..."

"In view of the huge losses of Toshima Construction on the Naizhi high-speed rail project, the three major international rating agencies have downgraded the senior unsecured bonds of Toshima Construction to junk status. Affected by the above news, Toshima Construction's bonds plummeted again today. , which means that Toshima Construction, which has fallen into a debt crisis, has basically lost the possibility of financing by issuing bonds..."

……

"Will all the staff be laid off by 20%?"

"Hey, the River Plate Fund has made layoffs a prerequisite for investing in us. I think this matter has a great impact, so I want to ask everyone's opinions on the board of directors!"

"That's a matter of livelihood for 20,000 members. If it was announced rashly, it would definitely cause an uproar!"

"This is something that can't be helped. Given the current situation of Toshima Construction, I think the members will also understand the difficulties of the club!"

"That is, if a powerful consortium is willing to stand behind us at this time, Toshima Construction will have a chance to avoid bankruptcy."

"However, the other party is a vulture fund! Are they really willing to spend a lot of precious capital into a hard-earning industry like ours? How could those guys be so kind..."

……

I heard the members of the board of directors in the venue talking about the acquisition plan of the River Plate Fund. Hosokawa Qingwen sat there with a sullen face, never uttering a word. Now facing him is a dilemma. On the one hand, if he rejects the acquisition plan of Riverbed Fund, Toshima Construction may fall into bankruptcy. After all, he is willing to spend real money to invest in Toshima Construction at this time. The only consortium is the Riverbed Fund. On the other hand, once accepting the investment plan of the Riverbed Fund, Toshima Construction will have to lay off 20% of its existing employees. What kind of concept is this? The employees who have shed countless hard work and sweat will be ruthlessly swept out by Toshima Construction. According to Hosokawa Kiyobumi's understanding of the vulture fund, most of the members who were laid off would be those upright middle-aged cadres who more or less shoulder the livelihood of a family. If such a thing really happens, it may not only be affected by more than 20,000 employees, but their families and parents may also be affected.

……

"President, what do you think about this matter!" ..

Just as Hosokawa was weighing the pros and cons of these two options repeatedly in his mind, someone at the meeting suddenly asked his opinion. President Hosokawa finally woke up from his own thoughts, and then hesitantly said to the crowd:

"About this, I'm sorry, I'm also thinking about it repeatedly!"

"Excuse me, can I say a few words? President! The safety of Toshima Construction now depends on your decision. If the decision continues, Toshima Construction may miss the last chance to survive. ."

"Then we can't let our members bear such consequences. The Naizhi high-speed rail project was a collective decision of all of us here. Now that something like this happens, we have to let the hard-working employees take the responsibility. Will your conscience feel sorry for doing so?"

"Then what should we do? If things go on like this, Toshima Construction will only have to go bankrupt. At that time, more than 20,000 employees will need to be laid off. Maybe more than half of them will lose their jobs!"

"The River Plate Fund is a famous vulture fund. How could they be so kind to save a company like us that could go bankrupt at any time? I think that agreeing to their plan is to lure wolves into the house. Maybe these people will build Toshima. The bones are all chewed and swallowed into the stomach!"

"Okay, everyone, calm down first, and listen to what the president has to say!"

……

Seeing that the various members of the board of directors are arguing about the investment plan of the River Plate Fund. Hosokawa Kiyomi couldn't help but feel a little irritable. In fact, it is precisely because of the notoriety of the River Plate Fund that the investment plan proposed by Kiyomi Hosokawa was deeply alarmed. If the road to bank financing was not completely blocked, Hosokawa Kiyobumi would not be willing to deal with people from vulture funds anyway. But if they really accept the other party's conditions, what will the members who have lost their jobs do, and how can their families survive?

Seeing that everyone present was looking at him, Hosokawa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He stood up, walked to the window with some hesitation, and then stared at the bustling scene outside the window. With some emotion in my heart, I said:

"Why did the construction workers who created this prosperous city end up not being able to keep their jobs? If these construction workers who have neither nice diplomas nor other skills lose their jobs~lightnovelpub.net~they will What are you going to do to support yourself?"

……

"It's a bit unfair to do this!"

"Eh?"

"President? What did you just say?"

A slightly older executive asked Hosokawa in confusion.

"I said it's a bit unfair! After all...the people who made the decision in the first place were us! Now, we have to let the hard-working members bear our faults. Doing this... Everyone really thinks it's okay. ?"

"But……"

"Everyone, I remember that the construction of Toshima was in charge of building temples at the very beginning. Even now, the interior of the club still retains the construction department of the temple. If you count the history before the establishment of the company, Toshima Construction will be Not just a business that has been in business for 200 years!"

"A company that was originally responsible for building temples has miraculously survived into today's era, not only building towering skyscrapers, but also building complex factories and factories. Not to mention those that we love and love I hate rail transit projects. All of this was created by our hard-working members with our own hands, not by those of us sitting in the office discussing whether to take their jobs away.”

"Actually, just now, I suddenly realized a truth. If we fire the employees who built skyscrapers, factories, and roads with their hard-working hands, what will be left of this company? I hope Everyone here can think about this question carefully!"
