It was another regular meeting on Monday morning. All the middle and senior management of Karuizawa Group were here. Those who could not be there were people outside the country.

Masao Ishihara was still sitting on his president's chair and said slowly: "Let's discuss the establishment of the Karuizawa Group headquarters. Is this the group headquarters in Tokyo, Karuizawa, or other places?"

Everyone here was not surprised to hear the president say this. After all, there were internal rumors about related parties a long time ago.

However, it is not completely confirmed. At present, it is a foregone conclusion to establish the headquarters of Karuizawa Group through Masao Ishihara.

As the sales director, Miyamoto Yota, who was promoted and cultivated by Masao Ishihara and served as the head of the Ginza 4-chome display store in Tokyo, represents the new forces and factions within the group, and said firmly: "I suggest that the group headquarters be placed in Tokyo."

From a broad perspective, Tokyo, as Japan's economic center, financial center, political center, cultural center, etc., does not need to be talked about too much, it is known to everyone.

The various conveniences and benefits that this brings in the future are what attracts us the most. The wave of globalization has already begun, and we can no longer have a mindset to be in a corner.

If we do not adapt to the new environment changes, we will actively be eliminated by the new era. Only when we adapt to the new environment can we have a better future.

Since our Karuizawa Group is a multinational big company, we have to take the initiative and actively embrace the world and cannot stay in this small place in Karuizawa."

Vice President Masaya Nakagawa represents the conservative forces within the group. He disagrees with establishing the group headquarters outside: "What is the name of our winery from the beginning to the present? Karuizawa.

If we leave Karuizawa and go to another place, which is called Karuizawa Group, wouldn't it be strange? In this way, do we have to change our name?

It is legitimate to put the group headquarters in Karuizawa. Our winery made its fortune in Karuizawa and grew stronger than Karuizawa. Even if we create further glory in the future, we can still be in Karuizawa.

Besides, Karuizawa's transportation is also well connected. It is also very convenient to lead to some major large and medium-sized cities in Japan. Whether we go or our guests come, it is convenient.

What's more, Karuizawa has such good tourism resources and various complete supporting facilities, which is completely no worse than that of Japanese big cities."

Secretary-General Ryunosuke Oda, as a young man, a middle-level cadre, and a close minister of the president.

Like most young people in small places, he has the inner desire to leave his hometown and go to major Japanese cities, especially international metropolis like Tokyo.

Oda Ryunosuke supported Miyamoto’s proposal without hesitation and said, “I think Minister Miyamoto is very saying. Our Karuizawa Group should not be limited to Karuizawa local.

What is our Karuizawa Group’s goal? Japan is the number one, Asia is the number one, and the world is the number one, so you have to go to a broader stage.

Tokyo can receive the latest information and information as quickly as possible, which greatly helps our Karuizawa Group understand the outside world and quickly adjust its business and sales strategies."

Seiji Hirokawa, the Minister of Personnel, is also a member of the middle-aged and elderly clubs within the group and is definitely a conservative. He expressed his opposition to establishing the headquarters outside the country: "InBev, the world's largest wine group.

Where is its headquarters? Leuven, Belgium. Although it is the ninth largest city in Belgium, it is just a small place. Why do you have to move the group headquarters out of Karuizawa?"

Miyamoto Yangta retorted: "Leuven, Belgium, is not a small place, with a population of about 90,000. Where is our Karuizawa? The population is only more than 10,000, not even 20,000 people.

What's more, Belgium is located in the heart of Europe, and its transportation is well-connected, making it very convenient to trade with surrounding countries.

However, Japan is mainly composed of four major islands. Textbooks say that we are the center of the world, but in fact, it is just from Japan's own perspective. The headquarters of the British Diageo Group, which is also one of the world's wine group giants, is in London."

Shiji Hirokawa said unwillingly: "The headquarters of the British Bacardi Group, which is also one of the world's wine groups, is still in Bermuda! Why don't you say it?"

Miyamoto Yota also said tit-for-tat: "Perole Rica Group, one of the world's wine group giants, is still in Paris, so why don't you say it?"

"Is this interesting to say between you two? World-class wine groups have their own considerations if they want to build their headquarters there. They will not casually.

As for the purpose, it is all for the Group to have a better development future. For young people, they all want to go out and go to the wider world outside to see it, and I can fully understand it.

For middle-aged and elderly people like me, everyone has a family and a business in Karuizawa, and I can fully understand that they don’t want to leave home.

Now, the president asked us to discuss not only the question of where to build the headquarters, but which place is more conducive to the future development of our Karuizawa Group."

As a neutral faction within the Karuizawa Group, Yasuo Fujiwara couldn't stand it, so he interrupted and said.

Masao Ishihara took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Minister Fujiwara is right. I can also fully understand everyone's selfishness. However, this matter is a big deal and it is related to the future of our Karuizawa Group.

Once we are determined to place our headquarters and the center will be the center in the future, we will not easily move. This is a strategic orientation that concerns our Karuizawa Group's future from at least a few decades to hundreds of years."

As soon as these words came out, the people present suddenly calmed down and fell into silence. They were all thinking necessary in their heads.

If the headquarters is not built in Karuizawa, whether it is located in Tokyo or other cities in Japan, many people who are middle and senior management of the group will have to follow.

Except for Karuizawa Whisky Distillery, Karuizawa Cider Factory, Karuizawa Sauce Brewing Filling Factory, Karuizawa Commercial Bank, Karuizawa Filling Factory's directors, everyone else has to move to a new place to work according to the current organizational structure.
