Chapter 316 Oda Family

Karuizawa, Oda family.Three generations of Oda's ancestors and grandchildren are gathered together.They came to the living room and sat around, preparing for a family meeting.

As the grandson of Oda's family, Oda Yuuto was the first to speak: "You called me back from Tokyo. What important matters must be discussed face to face?"

Oda Ryuunosuke said expressionlessly: "Is it far to go home from Tokyo? It only takes more than an hour by Shinkansen. This is something that can be done in a short nap."

You still find it troublesome.Why don't you find it troublesome when you ask your family for money?He would even make a special trip home to ask for it. "

Grandfather intervened to smooth things over and said, "You guys, father and son, don't quarrel as soon as they meet. Ryunosuke, let's get down to business."

Oda Ryunosuke looked at his eldest son and said seriously: "Next year, you will graduate from Keio University. You have a work plan, right?"

Oda Yuuto said straightforwardly: "What plans can I have for my work? Hasn't my path been arranged by my father a long time ago?

Where can I still work after graduating from college?This is not just about joining the Karuizawa Group and working for the Ishihara family like your grandfather and father. "

Oda Ryunosuke immediately said displeased: "Are you so reluctant? Find out, how many fresh college graduates want to join the Karuizawa Group every year but they still can't."

Grandfather answered the question immediately, looking quite excited and said: "What's wrong with working for the Ishihara family? Your grandfather and I can have a stable and decent retirement life today, all thanks to the Ishihara family.

Have you ever seen any private company in Japan that would take the initiative to provide an additional monthly living allowance to retired personnel of the company, that is, an increase in retirement salary?

Only we, the Karuizawa Group, are a private company.Things like this are unique in the whole world, let alone Japan.

The issue of raising retirement wages will not be raised unless the government takes the initiative and pays for it from the fiscal budget.Otherwise, all this is out of the question.

Not to mention the old people who retired in the early years, the old people who retired in the same year as me, even those who worked in big companies and had welfare pensions, are not living very well.

Not to mention those retired elderly people from small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those who can only receive a national pension of about [-] yen per year. Then what can they do with this little money today?
Is it possible that as soon as you get that pension, you immediately go to the supermarket or convenience store to buy more cheap and discounted rice cakes and take them home to stock up?Or should we calculate it every day and not exceed how much?
If you spend too much, you will really have trouble living the rest of your life.Three meals a day are either white rice with natto or white rice with bean sprouts.

Otherwise, you just go to the street to pick up cans and garbage that can be sold for money.Or look for another job?Even if my whole body hurts, I have to grit my teeth and keep going. "

Oda Ryunosuke comforted him: "Dad, don't get too excited."

Grandfather then realized that he was getting more and more excited as he spoke.He calmed down a little and said: "In recent years, especially this year, everyone doesn't know how fast prices have risen?

As for personal pensions, have they been increased?Even if some local governments with good finances have increased prices in the form of living subsidies, they have not been able to outpace the rate of rising prices.

Don't the people in their government know about the rise in prices caused by inflation?They are pretending not to know.Every year during the New Year and holidays, the Karuizawa Group will specially organize a party for us retirees to have delicious food and drinks.You don’t have to pay for all these expenses yourself, they are all reimbursed by the Karuizawa Group.

According to Chairman Masao, although we people have not caught up with the good times for the company's great development, the Ishihara family will not forget the efforts and contributions we made to the Ishihara family.

When I retired from the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery, it was a small business and the smallest whiskey distillery in Japan.

Looking at the current Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery, it is already the largest whiskey distillery in Japan.As for our Karuizawa Liquor Industry, it is the largest liquor group in the world. "

Oda Yuuto blurted out: "Grandpa, our family is here. There are no Ishihara family members, so you don't need to be like this."

Without hesitation, his grandfather glared at him and said, "Although I haven't read any books, I know the simplest truth: never forget the man who dug the well.

Without the Ishihara family, our Oda family would not have such a good life and social status now.To be precise, without Chairman Masao, there would be no Karuizawa Group.

The old president, President Masao's father, even though he is a workaholic, is talented because of his limited abilities... In short, the old president's personal ability is indeed far inferior to that of President Masao.

Besides, your dad was also cultivated by Chairman Masao.You also know that your dad graduated from a third-rate university.Back then, when I asked him to go back to his hometown and work at the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery, he was just as reluctant as you are now.

Fortunately, he listened to my words and achieved the high status he has today.Otherwise, when your father reaches middle age and the economic environment is not good, he will most likely be unemployed again. "

Yoshito Oda didn't understand: "Grandpa, why again?"

Grandfather said straightforwardly: "For a third-rate university graduate like your dad, even if he finds a formal job, it will be nothing more than working in a small and medium-sized enterprise. What good future can he have?"

Even if your dad joins the company as a formal member, he will still be laid off and the company will go bankrupt. The global financial crisis in 2008 caused many small and medium-sized enterprises to go bankrupt.

Even well-known large companies have more or less layoffs.Your dad may have lost his job a long time ago. Not only can he only make money by doing odd jobs, but he will also spend my pension.

By then, we as a family don’t know where to rent a shabby place?There is simply no way to live in such a large villa with several hundred square meters.

We still have money to send you to a private school, so why should you go to Keio University?Your brother can't go to private school either.You two brothers dropped out of school early and went to work outside.

Your parents would have divorced long ago if there was no guarantee.Our family has long since fallen apart.So, what I said is correct!Without the Ishihara family and Chairman Masao, our Oda family would not be what it is today.

I respect the Ishihara family from the bottom of my heart, especially Chairman Masao.Your dad is also lucky to be with the right person.What if he was with the wrong person?Do you really think that everyone is a once-in-a-millennium business genius like Chairman Masao? "
