Maybe, as a result of the corporate has begun to develop and achieve publicity within the media, there was a rise in enterprise partnerships and funding proposals.

As Hiroki is the proprietor and President of the corporate, holding all the firm’s shares, Ishida reported this to him.

[What do you do in business partnerships?]

[Well…… It’s usually a comprehensive contract policy where companies with specific strengths complement each other to expand their business. For example, a car company that specializes in large SUVs may form a business alliance with a car company that specializes in standard passenger cars to unify their service locations and logistics networks……]

[I see. What kind of companies are suggesting partnerships in our case?]

[Let’s see. Many of them are chemical plant companies and trading companies. The plant companies working with us depend on the downstream process, or in other words, the design of the liquid waste treatment process. Since we are a business that makes money after less than a decade of operation, they want to make sure they can handle us well so that they won’t be betrayed or cut off in the middle of the contract. They are also willing to provide us with capital.]

[Ahh, I see…… because if they can treat their liquid waste at a low cost, the plant itself can be made cheaply and operated cheaply huh. I understand that. However, why the trading company?]

[It’s probably because of companies that have connections with those trading companies. They probably want to do business by taking on waste disposal and liquid waste treatment contracts from overseas as well. Incidentally, we have also received acquisition offers. They sure offered quite a lot of money.]

[There’s no way I’ll accept acquisition…… but just out of curiosity, how much money are they offering?]

[Enough to buy an entire league of baseball teams.]

Hiroki may see it in Ishida’s eyes. He wasn’t mendacity in any respect.

[……Seriously.]

[Seriously. The price includes the technology though. If they work with us, any company can achieve zero waste and zero emissions. Potentially, all chemical and heavy industrial companies in the world could become our customers. Theoretically, that is.]

[That would definitely be a dream come true.]

[It’s quite difficult when our company is located inland though. We can’t use tanker trucks after all.]

[I wonder if we could install a pipeline going straight towards the ocean?]

[The local residents would oppose it, so I don’t think it would be possible. Long pipelines are built in deserts like Siberia after all. In our case, a pipeline heading towards Tokyo Bay would run through Tokyo.]

[That seems impossible.]

I assumed it was a good suggestion although.

MCTBH is positioned in a distant space, with just one direct highway main on to the location, a non-public highway that branches off from the nationwide freeway. As may be anticipated, having only a single car parking zone alone would trigger heavy site visitors congestion on the highway throughout peak commuting and supply instances, so the encircling land has been acquired and a number of other momentary parking heaps have been arrange.

In that momentary car parking zone, we obtained a grievance a few automobile painted black and tinted home windows, which was clearly not a automobile by anybody associated to the corporate.

[Have the security do something about it.]

[……They apparently won’t listen, saying to have the President come out. When it comes to brute strength, many of our security guards were rehires, so they can’t overdo things.]

[Have you tried calling the police?]

[I heard that even when they called the police, they would be gone by the time they arrived, and then come right back. They seem to have strong connections with the local police.]

[So that’s how it is…… Well, fine. I’ll talk to them directly.]

Hiroki got here to the car parking zone alone for a brief after-meal stroll, and located a black Mercedes Benz there, blocking the automobiles from coming into and exiting the car parking zone.

It was particularly repulsive how they left sufficient area for somebody to get by means of in the event that they tried to.

If somebody does attempt to slip by means of, Hiroki guesses that these individuals will in all probability declare that their automobile has been scratched or one thing.

Hiroki solely sighed, considering that their modus operandi haven’t improved in any respect.

Knocking on the window of the automobile, which Hiroki couldn’t see inside, the automated window rolled all the way down to reveal a person in a double-breasted go well with and black sun shades.

It was as Hiroki anticipated. It was certainly the yakuza from that point.

[Excuse me, this is private property. Can you please move your car out of the way?]

[Ahh? I’m a well-meaning citizen who is concerned about environmental issues. I’m monitoring polluting companies!]

[Heehhh…… I thought you were a company employee?]

[I’m no longer a company employee. It doesn’t earn me much money.]

He did hear how their earnings have decreased since that tortoiseshell glasses disappeared.

[However, keeping tabs on us won’t make you money.]

[Really? I heard you’re a very wealthy man.]

[My allowance did increase. Thanks to that, I was able to install a draft beer server at home. A guy from a beer company even comes to maintain it.]

Hiroki couldn’t consider any explicit use for his cash, so he renovated a part of his home and constructed a bar the place drinks could possibly be served and a few snacks as a profit for his night time shift staff.

Hiroki thinks it wasn’t a foul funding, because it was well-received by younger male staff and increasingly more volunteered to work the night time shift.

[So, what is this uninfluential environmentalist doing here?]

He requested him what he had come to such a distant space for.

Effectively, he already is aware of what a money-hungry yakuza would come right here for.

[The f*ck you said!!!?]

There was a loud thump contained in the automobile.

Plainly the yakuza kicked the door of the Mercedes and tried to open it.

Nevertheless, Hiroki was standing in entrance of the door and calmly holding it in order that it wouldn’t open, so the yakuza simply ended up hurting himself.

There have been just a few extra thumping noises after that, however he appeared to have given up his futile makes an attempt to kick the door after seeing Hiroki standing there, calmly him.

[……There’s someone who wants to buy stocks from your company.]

Flippantly sighing, the yakuza stated what he was right here for.

It actually was as Hiroki anticipated.

[Try bringing the money through the front channels. I might just listen to what you have to say then.]

[I tried, but we got rejected.]

This too, is one thing Hiroki anticipated. He may already guess that the corporate they might use to purchase their shares was only a entrance. Ishida appears to be doing his job properly.

[It’s impossible then. Go home and tell them you were turned down.]

[……Even if you will regret this?]

[I won’t.]

Behind his sun shades, Hougi appears to be obvious at him with a dreadful expression on his face, however for some cause, Hiroki doesn’t concern him in any respect.

Quite the opposite, when he was obvious at him, it was the yakuza who regarded away, seemingly frightened.

[D*mn it! You can’t continue like this!!! It’s too late to regret it after you got sunk in Tokyo Bay in a pile of concrete!!!]

Leaving just a few phrases, the black Mercedez drove off, grinding its tires on the asphalt with a screeching sound.

As he watched the yakuza depart, Hiroki thought that quite than worrying about different individuals……

He needs to be extra anxious about being stuffed right into a drum.
