Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 16 Signing the Contract
"Okay, thank you teacher."

"I've already told you, you're welcome. If the students are famous, I, as a teacher, can also benefit from it."

Students and teachers are the type that achieve mutual success, especially in the liberal arts majors.

Kunihiko Inoue hopes that his students can become well-known entrepreneurs and further enhance the influence of Waseda University in the business field.

He is now unhappy with Waseda's position in the business world.

It’s okay if it’s not as good as Todai.

This is the number one university in Japan, you can’t afford to offend it.

It's even not as good as Keio and Hitotsubashi. This is unbearable.

He hopes that Waseda will have a strong leader in the business field like Takeshita Noboru in the political field, who can lead Waseda to achieve a leap forward in the business field.

Masato Takeshita didn't know how to respond to his teacher, so he simply changed the subject: "Teacher, look, it's getting late. I've booked a private room outside, shall we go have dinner together?"

"Okay, let's have dinner together."

Kunihiko Inoue agreed without much thought.

He is very optimistic about the future development of Masato Takeshita.

Although he is so young and not even from a wealthy family, he is so smart and his future prospects are definitely limitless.

"Hello, Lawyer Asuka, this is what happened."

With Inoue Kunihiko's greeting, Takeshita Masato soon met Asuka Ryo. Just as he thought, this was indeed a female lawyer who was about 40 years old and had an elite style.

He was not dissatisfied with Asuka Ryo's female identity, and even sincerely thanked the teacher for his care.

Japan is a patriarchal society. A woman can make a name for herself in Japan, especially in the conservative legal community. Her fighting power is definitely several times, or even dozens of times, that of a male lawyer of the same position.

"Um, drafting a contract, huh? No problem. When?"

Asuka Ryo had already understood the general situation through Inoue Kunihiko's phone call. However, out of respect for the client and to grasp more details, he did not interrupt Takeshita Masato.

Wait until he has finished speaking before quickly asking your own question.

"Yes, drafting a contract. As for the time, is now okay?"

Masato Takeshita didn't actually think about today, but he received a call from his senior from school, Ichiro Haneda, early in the morning. The caller said he could go there this afternoon.

"Of course, let's go."

Asuka Ryo quickly packed the necessary documents and put them in a bag, then called his assistant and subordinates, and then walked out of the law firm side by side with Takeshita Masato.

"Did you drive?"

"Sorry, I don't have a car at the moment."

"Well, take my seat then."

"Okay, thank you!"

Asuka Ryo's car is an ordinary Toyota, which fits the definition of upper-middle class in Japan.

Here, as in China, people value not showing off their wealth. Therefore, apart from the top executives in the auto industry, the nouveau riche, the young, and the underworld, few people buy luxury cars.

"Welcome, please come in!"

After learning that Masato Takeshita was coming, Uno Noriyuki directly lined up outside with his men to welcome him in order to show his importance to him to the greatest extent.

"President Uno, there's no need to do this. You are my senior. If you do this again next time, I won't come."

Masato Takeshita was disgusted by this kind of formalism. He could not decide what society should look like, but he could decide his own behavior.

"Uh, it was my mistake. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

Uno Jixing found that his junior was not impressed by this, so he bowed and apologized awkwardly, then waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.

Masato Takeshita didn't want to be considered disrespectful to his seniors, so he quickly helped his senior up. Then he smiled and changed the subject, directly brushing aside the unpleasantness. "No need to do that, let's go upstairs and discuss the contract."

"Yes, the contract is important."

Industrial Bank had no intention of harming Masato Takeshita, and basically every clause was in line with his wishes.

Especially when I saw the factory handover time, it was actually tomorrow morning.

It can be seen how dedicated Uno Noriyuki and others are.

You should know that bank investment and loan all need various reviews. Generally speaking, even if everything goes well, it will take at least 3 days.

Now it has been resolved in just one morning. It must be that the seniors and others have put their professional lives on the line.

Many Japanese companies have such a setting.
That means you are a hero of the company and you can be unconditionally willful for once.

The most typical example is the animation industry.
Many TV stations' senior animation investors have the right to invest in a work they personally like very much. Even if the company knows that it will lose money, it will generally choose to agree.

If the work is a big success, then it’s good for both of us. If the work fails, then the investor will basically lose his autonomy.

The source of a strong country - "K-ON!" is an investor's willful choice.

The original animation production company Kyoto Animation was actually reluctant to produce the film, but in the end, it couldn't win over the investors and tried to produce it. But even so, Kyoto Animation didn't take it seriously at all and directly gave it to the company's newcomers.

However, it was precisely because of Kyoto Animation's lack of attention that they accidentally produced an animation that was both acclaimed and well-received.

Kyoto Animation and the TV station both made a lot of money in the end.

"Senior, there's no need to do this."

Masato Takeshita did not expect that his senior would be so courageous.

He thought he would just sign a supplementary clause today and then sign a formal contract in a few days.

I didn't expect that my senior was more anxious than me.

Uno Jixing said as a matter of course: "When you encounter a good opportunity, you must burn your boats."

The backbone of Japanese society at this time was still the Showa male second generation, full of daring and daring style. It was precisely because of this that the Japanese were able to rise again from the ruins in a short period of time and become the second largest capitalist economy surpassing Germany.

If everything is delayed, Japan's economy will not be able to achieve rapid development.

"There is no problem with the contract. We can go to the factory now."

After more than an hour of careful examination and discussion, Asuka Ryo, his assistant Yamashita Haruko, and his subordinate Sasaki Tatsuya finally gave a positive answer.

Even in Asuka Ryo's opinion, some aspects of this contract were a little too superior.

If he were to draw up the contract, he would never offer such favorable conditions.

She admitted that rolling luggage was promising, but there were many promising items, and it was not necessarily guaranteed that founders would get the biggest piece of the pie.

Many times, innovators are not as good as those who engage in micro-innovation.

"Understood. Then President Uno, can we go to the factory to inspect it now?"

The current contract mainly involves land, funds and other aspects. Going to the factory now is to inspect the specific situation inside.

The age of the equipment, the quality of the personnel, and the factory’s accounts.

Only after all these things have been checked, the lawyer will be considered to have completed the job and Masato Takeshita will sign the contract.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step; the last moment is the most crucial.

You must never relax when it comes to contracts.

"Of course, anytime."
