Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 17 Factory Inspection
"Uno-senpai is so thoughtful. Thank you so much this time."

Standing outside the factory called Matsumoto Manufacturing, Masato Takeshita looked at the 6000-square-meter factory and the surrounding expandable area about six times that size, and expressed his gratitude once again.

The factory that Industrial Bank arranged for him was in a very advantageous location, in Ota-ku, the industrial center of Tokyo. The value of this piece of land alone was enough to guarantee all the interests of the young man in the future.

You should know that the price of land in Tokyo during its heyday was as high as 1000 million per square meter. Although the price of industrial land is not so exaggerated, it is still more than 50 per square meter.

That is to say, even if Masato Takeshita's business is not doing well in two years, he can still make a profit of 200 billion by directly selling the land.

If we use it for comparison, the best example is some foreign-funded enterprises that entered China in the past.

After decades of hard work, they didn’t make much money from their main business, and some even suffered losses. But the buildings they bought and developed helped them make a lot of money.

Of course, the current industrial land in Ota Ward is not that exaggerated. But even so, based on the current market price of land, this piece of land can reach several billion yen.

In response to his junior's repeated thanks, Uno Noriyuki remained very humble.

"No, this is what I should do. Besides, haven't I already said it? This is mainly due to the efforts of Managing Director Toyoshima. I just helped out by running errands."

He has done enough good things, now is the time to show his leadership.

"I know. I will thank Director Toyoshima later, but I will never forget your help, senior."

Director, in Japan, means director of a company. Director Toyoshima is also known as Director of Toyoshima.

This senior leader of Industrial Bank also graduated from Waseda University and was the leader of a group of Waseda University staff including Uno Noriyuki.

It was with the support of Managing Director Toyoshima that Uno Noriyuki was able to meet the review requirements so quickly and help Takeshita Masato acquire industrial land in Tokyo.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

Start production as quickly as possible and create profits as quickly as possible.

Compared to the foreseeable glory in the future, it doesn’t matter if it costs a little more.

"You're welcome. If you can run the factory well, that would be the greatest support for me."

In a sense, the future development ceiling of this factory will also determine how far Uno Noriyuki can go.

If Uno Noriyuki develops the factory into a leader in the suitcase industry, then he will most likely take over the position of faction leader from Senior Managing Director Toyoshima in the future.

After walking around the land several times, Masato Takeshita followed Uno Noriyuki to the main entrance of the factory.

"Hello, President Uno! Welcome, welcome! Could this be Mr. Masato Takeshita?"

Uno Noriyuki had called the factory owner before leaving, so as soon as they arrived at the factory gate, they were warmly greeted by the factory owner Matsumoto Yusaku.

"Yes, I am Masato Takeshita, please give me your guidance."

"Please give me more advice."

Although he learned from the phone call that the buyer was very young, Matsumoto Yusaku was still shocked when he saw Masato Takeshita. It was really amazing that he could buy a factory before graduating from university.

But it doesn’t matter, since I have already sold the factory to Industrial Bank.

If it weren't for the final handover work that needed to be done, he would have left this shabby company that couldn't make him money and was even losing money long ago.

Companies are constantly making losses, which is the dilemma faced by most small and medium-sized enterprises and even large enterprises in Japan after the rapid appreciation of the yen.

It can be said that the people who hate the appreciation of the yen the most in Japan now are none other than small and medium-sized business owners.

"It's normal. If it were me, I would do the same." Takeshita Masato didn't care about this little thing at all. He valued the factory's equipment, raw materials, and personnel more. Especially the employees, which were the most important guarantee for his future development.

After a brief greeting, Matsumoto Yusaku began to introduce the factory to Takeshita Masato.

This factory originated in post-war Japan and has a history of nearly 40 years.

He is the third-generation owner of this factory. He took over hastily last year after his father passed away due to illness.

After Masato Takeshita roughly understood the situation, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "No wonder the tone is so impatient, it turns out that the son doesn't feel sorry for selling the father's land."

Masato Takeshita understood that this was a third-generation rich man who had no interest in inheriting his family business and instead wanted to live his own life.

This is normal. Many old stores in Japan that have been passed down for hundreds of years have closed down because their heirs were not interested.

Now that it’s just a 40-year-old factory, there’s even less pressure.

After learning about the factory, Takeshita Masato wanted to confirm his guess: "What kind of business will Mr. Matsumoto go into after selling the factory?"

"Of course I'm working in finance. The stock market is amazing right now. If you invest any money, it will appreciate by at least half in half a year..."

After tasting the sweetness of stock trading at the beginning of the year, Matsumoto Yusaku began to be obsessed with stock trading.

The reason why he chose to sell the company this time was because he made too much money in the stock market and he couldn't help but want to go all in.

He decided to apply his talents to the stock market.

"I see. That's really good."

In Japan, even if you are a pig, you can make money as long as you buy more stocks. As for whether you can keep your assets after the bubble bursts, it depends on your own methods.

"That's it, let me tell you..."

"No, let's talk about the factory."

Seeing that this third-generation rich man without any ulterior motives was about to explain his secrets of getting rich, Takeshita Masato quickly interrupted him with a smile. He also wanted to know more details about the factory so that he could better develop it.

As for the stock market,

Masato Takeshita just wants to say,
No one understands the stock market better than me.

"Um, I don't know much about this. You should ask Deputy Factory Manager Suzuki."

Not every third-generation rich person is Hiroshi Yamauchi.

It is clear,
Matsumoto Yusaku was not very intelligent and was not enthusiastic enough about the factory. After taking over the factory for more than a year, he was still not fully familiar with the factory's operating mechanism and work process.

"Vice President Suzuki, thank you for your help."

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

Suzuki Zensuke's tone was hard, and he was very dissatisfied with the prodigal son in front of him, who sold out the life's work of his former boss. However, even so, he still tried his best to explain every aspect of the factory to Takeshita Masato in detail.

The old man could not change the outcome of the factory where he had worked for more than 40 years being sold, but he hoped that all workers in the factory would have good development.

I am almost 60 years old, retirement age, so I don't care about anything. But those middle-aged workers who have just started a family and a career cannot afford to be unemployed.

A worker is the backbone of a family!
