Chapter 573 Respect for the Aged Day
In Japan, the third Sunday (Monday) of September every year is Japan’s traditional “Respect for the Aged Day”.For this reason, at this time of year, those formal members who have retired from the Karuizawa Group will have a free dinner from the company.

Especially those retirees in Karuizawa, the level they enjoy is the highest level.One after another, they will rush to a local high-end hot spring hotel.

And this high-end hot spring hotel is directly affiliated with Karuizawa Hotel, so it can be regarded as a good thing.

According to the schedule of this day, old guys, regardless of gender, as long as they are formal members who have retired from the Karuizawa Group, will receive the specific address and advance notice of such a gathering in early September.

In the morning, they first got a room key card from the lobby front desk.Everyone, regardless of age or previous level, will stay in a standard room for two people.

Then, after changing their clothes, they went to the hot springs.After soaking in the hot springs, they appeared at the dining place on time at 12 o'clock in their yukata robes.

The lunch prepared for them was kaiseki cuisine and sake from Dassai Daiginjo.Then, after they were full of wine and food, they could do whatever they wanted in the afternoon.

They can gather together in twos and threes to brag and chat, play shogi, go... even mahjong.In short, the main thing is to do whatever you want.

At seven o'clock in the evening, dinner was served on time.The dinner prepared for them was Dongguan style sukiyaki.In the end, they were able to spend the night here after having enough food and wine, and left the next morning.

Just during lunch, Grandpa Oda and Grandpa Mizukawa had a conflict.Not only were the two old men arguing loudly and with red faces, but they were also divided into two groups to attack each other.

Grandfather Mizukawa swore: "The foundation of the Ishihara family is in Karuizawa Shochu. Not only did I officially retire from there, but my father and my grandfather also officially retired from there."

Our Mizukawa family has worked for the Ishihara family for six generations.In terms of contribution and qualifications, why can’t I sit at the top? "

Grandpa Oda strongly retorted: "Karuizawa Shochu has been discontinued since the generation of the old president, and the surname is no longer Ishihara. If you were loyal enough at that time, you would have already switched jobs to the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery!
The fact that you didn't come over means that you took the initiative to cut ties with the Ishihara family.Even if you are working, you are not working for the Ishihara family.

Nowadays, those of you from Karuizawa Shochu can still be related to the Ishihara family, and it’s not because the president bought you back then.

What dignity and qualifications do you have to show off in front of us seniors from the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery?You want to sit in the front seat, bah... are you worthy?

Could it be that your son, Takashi Mizukawa, was given an important position by the chairman this year and became the president of Karuizawa Heavy Industries, which gave you the confidence?Don’t forget, my son is also the president’s secretary-general?
My Oda Ryunosuke did not become a monk halfway before following the president, but he has been following him since he graduated from university.As for my grandson Yuuto Oda, he is also the secretary next to the second young master. "

Grandfather Mizukawa was unconvinced and said sternly: "You have a grandson, don't I have a grandson? Although my grandson is in Seoul, South Korea, he is also working for the Karuizawa Group and the Ishihara family.

Didn't he join right after graduating from university?Besides, my grandson entered the Karuizawa Group as a formal member through normal recruitment channels and relied entirely on his own ability.Is this your grandson?He didn't come in through special recruitment. "

Grandfather Oda blurted out: "It's as if your Mizukawa family is so powerful. Isn't your eldest son a specially recruited member of the Karuizawa Group?"

Grandfather Mizukawa said forcefully: "No matter what you say, I am determined to take the first position." Grandfather Oda said straightforwardly: "You are really promising. Or is your family Takashi Mizukawa supporting you? Why didn't you fight in the past? ?This year, you have to jump out and fight?"

Grandfather Mizukawa said bluntly: "Every year, people from your Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery sit in the first seat. Today, it should be replaced by people from our Karuizawa Shochu!"

As soon as these words came out, the old guys who had officially retired from Karuizawa Shochu responded one after another.They all shouted in agreement.

Grandfather Oda firmly refused to give in: "The origin of the success of the Karuizawa Group today comes from the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery, not your Karuizawa Shochu.

Besides, our Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery is currently the largest whiskey distillery in Japan and the best whiskey in Japan. It has also been creating considerable profits for the entire Karuizawa Group.

As for your Karuizawa shochu, what do you have?How much profit did it provide to the entire Karuizawa Group?As for your shochu, the most expensive one is only [-] to [-] yen a bottle.

As for our Karuizawa whiskey, we have two bottles priced at 3000 million yen each.I advise you not to come out and embarrass yourself.Really. "

The veins on Mizukawa’s grandfather’s forehead were visible: “Our Karuizawa Shochu is not only the largest soju company in Japan, but also the best soju.

The reason why your Karuizawa whiskey is so expensive is because your raw materials are good and the cost is high.This is taking the high-end route.

The reason why our Karuizawa shochu is sold cheaply is that we take the mid-to-low-end route, and our main focus is to be friendly to the people.

Because the market divisions are different and the sales targets are different, this price gap arises.Why do you simply judge the quality of wine based on price?

If you don't even understand the most basic things, you are nothing but a so-called brewer.I feel ashamed and blush for you. "

When Grandpa Oda heard this, he became very angry and said, "I have been making wine all my life, and do I still need you to teach me? Do you understand, or do I?"
As far as I know, you have never brewed sake yourself in your life, and you have only done menial work in Karuizawa Shochu. "

Grandfather Shuichuan refused to admit it and said: "That's nonsense. Is it because I don't know how to make wine, or you don't know how to make wine? It's obvious that you don't know how to make wine."

Grandpa Oda said angrily: "You just don't know how to make wine. What qualifications does a person who can't make wine have to say anything in front of me?"

Grandfather Mizukawa blurted out: "You are pretending to be an elephant with a green onion stuck in your pig's nose. It's as if the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery is all due to you. The Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery is still the same with or without you. .”
