I am a stone?
Kouzuki Souji mutters.
Yes, a stone. Furthermore, a stone that causes quite a trouble You’re not round, only having sharp edges.that’s what kind of a stone you are!
Jii-chan’s voice is laughing as he speak harshly.
Nevertheless, this person has a lot of affection to his students.
Am I that incompetent
Kouzuki Souji’s shocked.
Souji.do you know John Jacobs, the president of American x company?
.He’s the one called the god of financial company That’s right. I’ve met him multiple times. Can you defeat Jacobs in financial investment? No way.the opponent is a God! There’s no way I could beat him!
Jii-chan snorts,
Right now, I have 2 wins and 8 loses. Though I’ve lost a lot, the wound’s small. If he didn’t think of Japan’s Kouzui as a tough opponent.the entire Japan would’ve been devoured by him
Not only theprince factionbut also therising factionare listening to Jii-chan’s words seriously.
Listen.being involved in Kouzuki house’s management means that you’ll continue fighting on the same field as the ferocious genius like Jacobs. Furthermore.the fights aren’t fair. Often, you must compete on under their rules, their judgement. Sometimes, they lose strategically. What’s important is to show that there’s an extraordinary fighting spirit and Kouzuki never intends to be ruled by them. If you show a chance, if you know that the opponent would come for your throat then they won’t attack carelessly.
The room quiets down.
Having both the financial power and ability more than oneself.you must continue your fighting pose against those who are tied to state power. There’s a lot of people who owns intelligence similar to Jacobs. Investors, corporate managers, politicians.and even scammers. Just because they’re more capable than I am, I never allow myself to run away from a fight. Kouzuki group is behind my back.and behind them is the nation called Japan!
Jii-chan said.
Souji, the others as well.you have decent ability. You’ve got the lineage. You’ve got connections. And that may certainly be your power. However.that were just power just given to you by chance.it’s not a power you have gained yourselves. And yet.what are you doing looking down on people not luckier than yourselves?
That’s right.these guys only look down.
Even though they think that people more powerful than themselves are unbeatable from the start. They don’t even feel like fighting.
There are a number of people who have much more terrific ability, blood, and even connections that you. And those people.even they show wanting to have allegiance, those vultures won’t overlook you
Jii-chan’s words made the students tremble.
It’s likely the first time they became conscious the fear of standing in the center of a company.
Even I had an inferior ability, I desperately bit into him.the people you’re looking down too will desperately peel their fangs on you. This world isn’t a simple survival of the fittest. The weak risk their life to beat the strong people that is a daily experience in real business world
Jii-chan said calmly
Become more humble. On people inferior, and to those who are superior to yourselves.you must pay careful attention equally. We’re ordinary people. You should keep it in mind at all times. If you underestimate your opponent, they’ll bite at your back horribly
Jii-chan’s gaze shifts to Shiba Akira now.
Now then.Shiba Akira
.Yes I praise that you have the ambition but life is finite .What does that mean? For example, if I want to start a new business.I can do it tomorrow. I have the funds.I also can gather the necessary personnel. I can head hunt for competent people. If you think the country’s regulations are severe then I also know who to speak in the government. I can even formulate a new law and have it resolve in the national assembly! .Yes I don’t know what kind of corporate plan you have right now but how many years do you think will it take to realize that? Even if you were fortunate enough to go through.it’ll take 15 years to establish the company. If unlucky, then it won’t happen even after 30 years. No.in the face of success, there’s a possibility of you losing everything by someone pulling your feet .But, I
Shiba Akira doesn’t bend his will of independence.
For what purpose do you want to achieve this plan?
.purpose? If you simply want to succeed as an entrepreneur only in pursuit of romance, then I will not stop it. Do it on your own. There’s no need for me to take care of that
Jii-chan said.
However.if I find a social significance in your plan and want to make it happen by all means.then I think that you should use everything you can
Use? Yes.if you really want to achieve it then shouldn’t you think of using every method possible to realize it as soon as possible? .That is? Oh well.you still have time before debuting in the society. For now, stay as my student. And, try to look for anything that can be used from me with your own eyes. Ask me a question if you want.if I feel that your proposal is valid then you can use anything Kakka!
Shiba Akira is amazed.
It’s the same for the others. Hanaoka Shinsuke, Koumori Akira, Kawafuji AKishi, Kouzuki Kenshi, Takagi Fuuta, and the one not here, Shiba Takahiko. Except for Kouzuki Kenshi, you don’t know the tradition of Kouzuki family You won’t be able to defend it. I know that you are only interested in development. Therefore, let me tell you If you have a plan of some sort then show it to me before the classes are over. If it’s a good plan then I’ll cooperate towards realization of it. First, a plan. If I can see a plan then I can see how serious you are and how you think about the world. I’ll just burn down any spoiled plan, an underestimating plan, a irresponsible plan. You must be prepared to be evaluated when you bring your plan. Is that understood.
yes.
The members ofrising factionanswered all at once.
Shiba Akira hasn’t responded yet.
Akira-kun.we’re still no match againstKakka Let us have him guide us. There’s still a lot to learn
Kouzuki Kenshi tells Shiba Akira.
Yes, you’re right.Kenshi-san. KakkaI’m sorry for saying rude things. Please let me study underKakkafor a while longer!
Shiba Akira submits to Jii-chan.
Then, lastly.Misuzu, Ruriko
Jii-chan speaks to his two granddaughters.
Don’t abandon people that easily. You should value relationships of people. If you cast away the current talents, you may be able to find better ones. However.what if you didn’t come across such talent? It’s common that only people with poor abilities and don’t have perseverance are the ones employed
.Grandfather
Misuzu shows a pained look
Don’t make that face. What’s important is the right person in the right place. Always think about the people with talent. How can you use that resource well. Most of the human resources fit together like puzzle pieces
Understood, grandfather I also was thoughtless
Misuzu and Ruriko apologizes to their grandfather.
Don’t mind it. You two can fail even more at the current moment
Jii-chan’s voice was kind.
Let me tell you all my students. The future of Kouzuki house will be centered on Ruriko and Misuzu. Kouzuki house can’t escape from the lineage. Ruriko will be the successor and Misuzu will support. I want you all to help them by all means. That is a request from me. I’m counting on you
Kouzuki Souji
Please wait.then.who will be Rurko-sama’s partner?
Kouzuki Souji and others think that the man who’ll be Ruriko’s husband would be the head of Kouzuki family.
Who knows.for the time being, Ruriko won’t marry to anyone from you people
Jii-chan said.
If someone among you becomes Ruriko’s husband.Kouzuki house will be split. It’ll never do good. Ruriko’s husband is for her to decide. Then.That person will not be involved with Kouzuki house’s administration
