Ishihara Masao and his group flew from Numanbetsu Airport in the online city to Kushiro Airport, the closest airport to Akiki-cho.

Before they boarded the plane, Yamamoto Takayoshi drove his "city small off-road", which was his worn-out van, to the airport in person.

The air flight between the two places was not long, only less than an hour or dozens of minutes. The plane that Ishihara Masao and others landed smoothly on the runway at Kushiro Airport.

They got off the plane, and as soon as they walked out of the exit, they were picked up by a special person and a special car arranged in advance, and headed straight for Akiki-cho.

Although it was a van, the van they took was completely different from the van Yamamoto Takayoshi's.

Masao Ishihara and others were riding the first Toyota Alpha with a luxury MPV. This car is completely tailor-made for business people to travel.

As for Yamamoto Takayoshi's Suzuki van, it can be said that it can both transport goods and carry people, and make a fortune and achieve prosperity. It all depends on it.

Oda Ryunosuke blurted out with a smile and sighed: "It's still comfortable to sit in this car. At least, you don't have to suffer your butt."

Masao Ishihara calmly answered: "But the butt is important, or business is more important?"

Oda Ryunosuke was afraid that his boss would mistakenly think that he could not endure hardship, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Of course, business is the most important thing.

There is nothing more important than business. As long as it is our Karuizawa Group business, no matter how far the road is or how bad the road conditions are, I will definitely go there."

"Then do you know why we came to Akiki-cho from afar?" Masao Ishihara asked casually, while also examining whether he had done his "homework" well in advance.

The reason why Oda Ryunosuke was able to take the position of secretary and chief at a young age was not entirely because of his back door, but mainly because of his own understanding and hard work, so that he could seize such a great opportunity. Opportunities only favor prepared minds.

Oda Ryunosuke replied seriously: "The climate and water quality here in Akiki-cho are very important for building whiskey distillery. Hokkaido is not like Honshu Island at all, and there are a lot of industrial pollution or something.

If you choose to build a whiskey distillery here, it will naturally be fine. After all, there are good mountains, good water and good air.

Otherwise, Masato Takezuka would not have been separated from Torii Shinjiro, so he ran to Hokkaido alone to establish the Yushi whiskey brewing station. This Yushi is located to the west of Hokkaido, while Akiki-cho is opposite to Yushi, on the east."

Masao Ishihara smiled and said, "Do you know one thing, but you know the other?"

Oda Ryunosuke shook his head and said, "The president's foresight is not something I can guess at all. I believe the president must have a far-sighted idea."

Masao Ishihara said lukewarmly: "Stop flattering. From the perspective of cost control, the land price in Akiki-cho is very cheap. Even if it is added to the construction cost of a whiskey distillery, it is not very high.

The other is labor costs. The labor costs here are much cheaper than those in Karuizawa Town. I have to say what’s wrong with Akiki Town, that is, it’s a little remote.

Not only that, the wood produced by the largest water-bearing wood forest I bought in Hokkaido is not only completely useful, but also saves a lot of transportation costs.”

In his heart, Ryunosuke Oda admired the president's careful planning. He was like a new chess player, only able to look at one step and take one step.

The president is completely different. He had already planned everything in his head before he took a step.

The Minister of Technology and Chief Allocation Staff Yasuo Fujiwara said seriously: "The climate here in Akiki-cho is close to the island of Ireland in Scotland and various indicators.

It is very suitable to brew whiskey with a strong peat flavor here. In addition, the president means that it is all made of water barrels."

Masao Ishihara said straightforwardly: "I originally intended to try a water-bearing barrel in Karuizawa whiskey to cook it, but there were voices of opposition.

The one who opposes the most is Fujiwara San. So, I thought of setting up a brand new whiskey distillery to make brand new whiskeys with different flavors as Karuizawa whiskey.”

Yasuo Fujiwara said bluntly: "The wooden barrels ripe from Karuizawa whiskey have always been brand new Shirley barrels imported from Spain.

This suddenly changed, and it will inevitably change the taste of our Karuizawa whiskey. Sherry bucket and water whiskey bucket are completely different things."

Masao Ishihara said: "So, I still listened to your opinion. Karuizawa whiskey still insists on the original whiskey flavor.

However, since we are going to build a new whiskey distillery that is different from Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery, there must be major changes in nature.

Don’t use the golden promise barley imported from Scotland. The cost of this main raw material is really high. In addition, it must reflect the characteristics of Japanese whiskey itself.

Since water barrels are one of the characteristics of Japan, we can also use the high-quality barley grown in Japan as the main raw materials. My philosophy and principle are only one, to maximize the local production and brewing in Japan."

Yasuo Fujiwara agreed, "It should be true. If the production and brewing styles of the two whiskey distillers are similar, then why go all the way here to build a brand new whiskey distiller? It would be better to expand the production capacity directly on the basis of Karuizawa whiskey distiller."

“Although it is a strong peat-flavored whiskey style, it is not a copy of the whiskey flavor of Scotland’s Isle.

We must have our own outstanding and distinctive characteristics, and we will never blindly follow any country, place, or one whiskey production and brewing flavors.

Otherwise, it would be almost the same as Yushi whisky distillation established by the concept that Takezuka Masato upholds at that time." Masao Ishihara wanted to establish a huge differentiation path between brands.

Yasuo Fujiwara decided that Akiki-cho would be the second spring in his personal career and said, "I understand. If it weren't for the president, you have such a great determination, I wouldn't have volunteered to come here.

I will stay here forever. I will see a brand new whiskey distillery rising above the boundary of Akiki-cho."
