Masao Ishihara and Ryunosuke Oda returned to the standard room of the hotel they were staying. When they were still in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, they called and had already booked in advance.

Oda Ryunosuke wanted to ask the president along the way back to the hotel, but he kept asking without asking because of others.

Now, there are only two of them in the room, so I asked without understanding: "President, what if I don't call you before nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Standing in front of the windowsill, Masao Ishihara, who was watching the scenery of Iwakuni City's city, turned his back to face him at 180 degrees and said, "Then we will go back home."

"In this way, we are not here for nothing?" Oda Ryunosuke said bluntly.

"How come I was in vain? Before that, I had never been to Iwakuni City in Yamaguchi Prefecture. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come here for a special trip.

What else can you not be too tempted? You just think it was a public tour with me." Masao Ishihara suddenly said with a smile on his face.

As soon as Oda Ryunosuke heard what he said, he knew it was a joke: "President, I think you are confident and can fully take down the Otter Sacrifice Brewery."

"Things are not there. When talking about business, it also involves opportunities. It is not that you can do whatever you want. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement for the time being, it means that the opportunities between them are not yet ripe.

Once the opportunity is ripe, it will naturally come naturally. If the two sides lose their talk, it will only mean that there is no chance between them." Ishihara Masao put his hands crossed in front of his chest, and his smile did not change his mind.

"How do I feel that business is like falling in love?" Oda Ryunosuke said thoughtfully.

"There is what you mean. However, in my opinion, dating is much more troublesome than talking about business. At the very least, the people you face are based on reason.

When you fall in love, it’s different. The person you face is often based on sensibility. You know the sensibility of young girls.” Masao Ishihara said calmly.

"If Kenji Doi Hiroshi agrees to the conditions you have proposed, what should we do next?" Oda Ryunosuke asked in a targeted manner.

"What else can I do? I'll go to the Otter Festival sake brewery and further discuss the details of cooperation between the two parties, and invite him to visit our whiskey distillery and cider winery on site. After that, we will go back home." Masao Ishihara said slowly without any haste.

"Are you not in a hurry to sign a formal contract with Kenji Doi?" Oda Ryunosuke said incomprehensible.

"Even you said that business is similar to dating, and that's true. If a man and a woman are in love, the more proactive and actively he will give his feelings first, he will generally fall into a passive party.

The same is true when discussing business. The more you are proactive, the more you will make the other party have one or another ideas, and even raise the price.

The more you can hold on, the more indifferent you pass on the other party, and make them anxious first, and you will win. What's more, Doiki Kenji has no cards to play.

I have a lot of cards to play in my hands. If they miss this good opportunity, they will no longer meet people who can give good conditions like me.

As for our side, they also know that they can acquire their Otter Festival sake brewery, Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and others' sake brewery.

For them, we are life-saving straw. For us, they are dispensable, not that we cannot find a replacement.

You said, who will be more anxious than Kenji Doi and who wants to promote this cooperation more? Who has more psychological burden and pressure?" Masao Ishihara pointed out.

Oda Ryunosuke immediately said as if he was enlightened: "I understand. President, your mind is completely inconsistent with your age. It's really amazing, and it really makes me feel inferior."

"Stop flattering me." Masao Ishihara blurted out.

"I'm not flattering you, but to be honest. In the past, I did have the idea that you just have a good life and inherited your family business.

Since following you, I have found that you are really extraordinary. Not only can you learn a lot when you are by your side, but you are also deeply taught and inspired by you.

Otherwise, the seniors of our winery would not be as completely convinced as they are now." Oda Ryunosuke said seriously.

Masao Ishihara just smiled but said nothing. He was not only a human being for two lives, but also had a rough foresight of the future. This is not an experience that others can have.

In his opinion, a young man like Ryunosuke Oda who started working just after graduating from college is like a piece of blank paper, and he can still plan and train him for certain careers by himself.

After the other party has two or three years of relevant work experience, he should be able to fully compete with his current job position. This person with good qualifications and high understanding is even more independent.

Oda Ryunosuke also had a question that he kept in his heart and said: "President, I don't understand one thing. Why do you have to buy a sake brewery?

According to the current actual operating conditions of our distillery, we should reduce the production of raw wine with whiskey, and expand the production scale of cider on the other hand."

"Do you think I bought a sake brewery and could not get anything except for giving us another wine variety to produce? There is even some feeling of weakness everywhere." Masao Ishihara said with a smile.

Oda Ryunosuke lit his head and said, "Yes."

"Whiskey does not reduce production, that's because I'm still optimistic about its future. In addition, our Karuizawa whiskey production is low.

Once we reduce production, it is not that the output will be lower? For now, as long as our whiskey business loses less, it is equivalent to making money.

Establishing a whiskey distillery is a very expensive thing to invest in the early stage. Often, only seeing spending money, not making money.

Even if you can bring it to the market, you still have to withstand various tests. Especially if you want to make high-end whiskey, it will cost even more money. You can only get the best choice from the selection of raw materials.

The production process of this whiskey original wine is one aspect. It lays the foundation for the quality of a whiskey. Another important aspect is that it requires a long and patient waiting.

During the natural maturity of the barrels filled with whiskey, the original content will be reduced by about 2% every year on the original basis again and again.
