Chapter 084
In Masao Ishihara's view, the current phased difficulties encountered by the Otter Festival sake brewery are caused by the Asian financial crisis.
More importantly, it lacks the challenge and courage to the high-end sake field. It is to ask its operators and technicians to change its inherent thinking mode.
Masao Ishihara understood that if those people want to follow their strategic intentions, they must first take down the Otter Sacrifice Brewery. Otherwise, no matter how good his plan is, he will not be able to achieve it.
Masao Ishihara and Ryunosuke Oda arrived at the Otter Festival sake brewery. After they explained their purpose, they were released by the guards.
Oda Ryunosuke smiled slightly and said, "President, why don't we take a look around secretly first? Avoid the other party's only saying good things and not bad things, and take the opportunity to raise the price."
Masao Ishihara disagreed: "After this place becomes our winery, are you still afraid that there will be no chance to watch it slowly in a straightforward manner?"
"That's right." Oda Ryunosuke had no choice but to accept it.
Just as the two walked inward, Kenji Doi, the president of the Otter Sacrifice Brewery, walked towards him with his female secretary.
They did not meet by chance, but Kenji Doihiro received a call to the secretary outside the door, and the secretary told him to know.
Before Masao Ishihara came to visit in person, he had already contacted the other party. He and Kenji Doi had communicated several times on the phone.
Both of them have been run by generations. Ishihara family operates whiskey for generations, and Doi Fu family operates sake for generations.
Masao Ishihara stopped and met the other party in one go. Even if he had never met before, he could see it from the other party's work clothes and the female secretary who followed him.
Kenji Doi also stopped and smiled and said first: "It really made me not expect President Ishihara to be so young."
"If my father hadn't died suddenly, I wouldn't have taken over the position of president." Masao Ishihara said truthfully.
"I'm sorry, it reminds you of sad things." Kenji Doihatsu apologized.
"This is already a thing of the past. Let's talk about cooperation!" Masao Ishihara said straightforwardly without striking around the bush.
"Or why I'll take you here first?" Kenji Doihiro was trying to let the other party see his territory so that he could increase the price.
"No need. I'm short of time and I have a few other places to go." Masao Ishihara showed that it was not just your sake brewery, which needs to cooperate with me.
"Then let's go to the meeting!" Kenji Doohime felt a lot of "mouth" in his heart. While leading the way in front, he was thinking about what medicine was selling in his heart in his head.
He makes sake, and Masao Ishihara makes whiskey, which seems to be two completely different types of alcohol. However, he has not only heard of the daimyo of Karuizawa whiskey, but also drinks too much of this high-end local whiskey brand that RB people can be proud of.
In his personal opinion, it is not inferior to those authentic Scotch whiskeys, and is even more authentic than Scotch whiskey.
As for the sake brand, except for people in Yamaguchi Prefecture who have heard of it, there are very few other places in RB that will be known.
When he had contact with the other party, a big question mark appeared in his head. I wonder why Masao Ishihara became interested in his sake brewery?
"President Ishihara, I heard that in addition to Karuizawa whiskey, you also have Karuizawa cider, a new brand recently established." Kenji Doi said casually on the surface, but in fact he was asking in a targeted manner.
"President Doi's information is very accurate!" Masao Ishihara said meaningfully with a smile.
Kenji Doihiro just smiled and did not answer. He received this affirmative answer from the other party, which led to a clear understanding in his heart.
The reason why he knew was not that he personally went to Karuizawa, but that he used his own network of relationships and inquiries from multiple sources, so he got the other party and the cider manufacturer.
Not only that, Karuizawa cider was sold out directly. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to infer that the other party is extremely likely to expand the production scale of cider. It is too time-consuming to build a new factory directly.
Buy a winery that can transform into a cider to produce cider, which can save a lot of time and cost. One of the most important raw materials for producing cider is apples.
What's more, I know that Yamaguchi Prefecture is also rich in apples. For cider manufacturers, building factories near the raw materials can greatly save transportation costs and acquisition costs.
He judged that Masao Ishihara wanted to "eat" his sake brewery to transform into a cider. However, his emotions were absolutely unacceptable. After all, people from generation to generation worked hard here.
The problem is that it is not something that is difficult for him to accept emotionally. If he can't find a source of funds, it is not that the Otter Sacrifice sake brewery has stopped production, but that it will go bankrupt.
Masao Ishihara knew very well that the two had started to compete since they met. The other party's words were all clear purposeful.
Kenji Doi Hiro was just talking to himself, so that he could gain the initiative at the negotiating table and get a better price.
Masao Ishihara did have plans to build a cider winery here. However, it is not now. The reason why he has this idea is that it is closest to Kyushu Island.
In this way, the production of apples is sold to Kyushu Island, which is a lot of transportation costs than the long-distance transportation from Karuizawa to Kyushu Island from Nagano Prefecture.
"President Ishihara, have you ever drunk the sake of our otter festival?" Kenji Doihiro asked again.
Masao Ishihara's face was not changed, and his heart was not beating. He made up a story: "When I was not off school and was studying at Ichibashi University in Tokyo, a classmate from Yamaguchi Prefecture brought a bottle.
Everyone had gathered together to drink it. In this way, I remembered the sake brand of Otter Festival. I saw a salary demand in the news... Sorry, sorry."
Kenji Doi Hiro really believed people like him. After paying some materials dealers, he really could not pay the employees' wages again, and the incident of being asked for salary occurred. In this way, as soon as his winery was reported by a reporter, it naturally became news.
Kenji Doi'e's face suddenly turned red and felt that the other party had defeated the army. He was not afraid of losing his personal face, but was afraid of being passive in the immediate negotiations. After all, others already knew that he was short of funds.
Kenji Doiki stubbornly said, "It's just a temporary capital turnover that has a problem. This matter has long been over."
