"Everyone, I have a new idea to announce to you today! Regarding our high-speed rail project in the Kingdom of Naz, I think..."

"Sorry, President! We also have a new plan that we want to submit to the board for discussion!"

"Oh? New plans? What's it about?"

"It's about the revitalization plan for the construction of Toshima initiated by the Riverbed Fund!"

Just when Hosokawa Kiyobumi wanted to announce to everyone present that he had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the neighboring XX Construction Group, several executives on the board representing the interests of the Central Bank of Tokyo and the Riverbed Fund suddenly interrupted the discussion. Chuan's speech, followed by a plan titled Toshima Construction Revitalization Plan, was put before every board member.

"This one is the revitalization plan we launched on Toshima Construction. The core of this plan is to streamline the existing institutions and allow Toshima Construction several business units with better operating conditions to have greater autonomy. , wait until the time is ripe, and then go public separately. As for our previous losses on the Naizhi high-speed rail project, the Riverbed Fund will set up a new enterprise to manage non-performing assets. If all goes well, the separated business unit If it develops well, I believe that our debt problem can also be solved..."

Although the introduction by the other party was relatively simple, Kiyobumi Hosokawa, who had been an executive at Toshima Construction for many years, quickly understood the other party's intentions. To put it bluntly, it is to disassemble the huge machine of Toshima Construction into parts and sell them separately. If the car is used as an analogy, the sum of the price of the parts of the car is usually higher than the price of the whole car, which is the concept of the so-called zero-to-integration ratio. Applying this principle to the enterprise seems to be equally effective. Although Toshima Construction has been collectively betrayed by investors due to huge losses, when it comes to Toshima Construction's rail transit business department and other departments, it is still attractive enough to investors. Otherwise, Toshima Construction would not have defeated many international competitors and won the contracting rights of the Naizhi high-speed rail project.

Hosokawa Kiyofumi patiently listened to the "Toshima Construction Revitalization Plan" proposed by the executive representing the interests of the Tokyo Central Bank and the Riverbed Fund. It wasn't until the other party finished speaking that Hosokawa Kiyomi took over the topic, and said with some seriousness:

"Since everyone has heard the introduction of the "Toshima Construction Revitalization Plan", can you allow me to introduce my plan again?"

"Huh? President Hosokawa also has a proposal to submit to the board of directors today?"

"Hey, I didn't discuss this plan with the other directors because it was just an idea before. A few days ago, I went to SH in my private time to conduct a project with XX Construction Group, which competed with us for the Naizhi high-speed rail project. After some contact, the other party seems to still maintain a strong interest in our contracting rights for the Najz high-speed rail project. After negotiating with the other party's management, we both reached a non-legally binding cooperation. plan."

"XX Construction Group, that's a leading company in the infrastructure industry of a neighboring country. Is the other party really willing to cooperate with us?"

"Hey! The other party is willing to buy the contracting right of the Naizhi high-speed rail project from us at a fair price. If we accept the other party's offer, then the Naizhi high-speed rail project will no longer be a burden that hinders the construction and development of Toshima. On the contrary, we can take the opportunity of this cooperation to cooperate more closely with XX Construction Group in the construction of high-speed rail.”

"Is there such a thing?"

...

As Hosokawa Kiyomi announced his plan, everyone present began to discuss in a low voice. Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little moved by Hosokawa's plan, the executives representing the interests of the Tokyo Central Bank and the Riverbed Fund stood up and expressed their opposition to Hosokawa's plan:

"President Hosokawa, has your letter of intent for cooperation been authorized by the board of directors before signing it?"

"No, but this is just a letter of intent for cooperation, not the final formal contract, so it has no legal effect. However, it also shows the sincerity of the other party to cooperate with us!"

"President Hosokawa, what you want to cooperate with is our former competitor. Since it is a competitor, how can you be sure of the original intention of the other party's willingness to cooperate with us? Isn't there any trap behind this? "

"Wait a minute, even the former rivals will have a day when they will turn their battles into jade, and I will take the initiative to seek cooperation after fully evaluating the opponent's desire to win recognition in the international market. Success, whether it is for Toshima Construction, for XX Construction Group, or even for the Naizhi government, it is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone! Could it be…”

"But President, don't you think this is a betrayal of Japan's construction engineering contracting industry by just handing over the projects that our Japanese companies have finally won over to competitors from neighboring countries?"

"Betrayal? Could it be that looking at Toshima Construction, a 200-year-old company that has collapsed, and the members' jobs are deprived and indifferent, is it loyalty to Japan's construction engineering contracting industry? Have you considered the members in these plans? Do those members who have dedicated most of their lives to this company have to endure the blow of unemployment at the most difficult time of their lives?”

"President, please don't be emotional. Toshima Construction exists only because of the trust of the plant owners. At any time ~lightnovelpub.net~ we should give priority to protecting the interests of the plant owners..."

"What kind of **** logic is this! Toshima Construction has existed for more than 200 years, and it took only a few decades to become a listed company. In the past two hundred years, Toshima Construction has experienced countless crises, big and small, and that time was not because of The members and the company worked together to survive.”

Seeing that the differences in the board of directors became more and more intense, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, each with his own thoughts. In the management of Toshima Construction, there are several executives who represent the interests of the owners behind, and managers who are promoted from the bottom. As corporate decision makers, everyone is often only responsible for a specific task of Toshima construction. Only the general manager and the president are considered for the overall management of the company. In the past, because Toshima Construction was highly dependent on the Central Bank of Tokyo, there were not a few members of the board of directors representing the interests of the bank.

Seeing the angry Hosokawa arguing with the other party, his face was red, but everyone present was silent because they were afraid that the rash team would make them implicated. Until the end, the elder Murakami Changma couldn't stand it anymore. He slowly stood up and said to everyone calmly:

"I think you don't want you to have any meaningless verbal disputes. Since the president and several executives can't convince each other, let's let the plant owners decide the fate of Toshima!"
