Chapter 304: Big Deal
Looking at Tozawa Masafusa kneeling in front of him, Shirakawa Kaede had a complicated expression.
Is it really that important? It’s just for the sake of an illusory family reputation.
“Please rest assured, Xiao Feng, although the Tozawa family has fallen into decline, the previous relationship is still there.
If we use these resources to train our offspring, they will start several levels higher than ordinary people, whether they are in politics or business."
Tozawa Masaru was troubled by the fact that he had no direct descendants of his own, otherwise these resources would have been used up long ago.
Today, the Tozawa family only has these personal connections left, with very little material wealth left.
Apart from some agricultural investments in Xinzhuang, otherwise their family would have problems with food and drink.
But even so, the feeling of living beyond one's means still makes Tozawa Masaru anxious.
Especially since there is no male heir, he can almost imagine the future fate of the Tozawa family.
“Tozawa-san, I won’t reject you, but I won’t agree to you either.
We'll talk about the future later. As for some other matters, I have to ask my parents for their opinions."
Hearing this, Tozawa Masaharu, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little embarrassed. What happened in the past...
Forget it. I have already bowed down to my sister and the others. I believe she will understand because of our blood relationship.
"Okay, Xiao Feng, it's good that you can answer like this."
Although he didn't get a definite answer from him, Tozawa Masao had already let it go.
At Baichuan Feng's signal, he also stood up.
"Xiao Feng, please be sure to visit the Tozawa family when you have time. I believe that the connections of the Tozawa family can bring you another fortune."
"I will go to pay my respects to grandpa when I have time." Baichuan Feng answered ambiguously.
"I look forward to your coming. I'm sure your aunt will welcome you too."
After bowing again, Tozawa Masaaki bowed and left.
Baichuan Feng, who was alone in the conference room, frowned and remained silent.
Now, matters concerning family and inheritance seem to be slowly coming to me.
Has the company developed to a certain size, and has the size of Shirakawa Electric attracted more and more people's attention?
It turns out that it is not very realistic to want to do business honestly and then cross classes smoothly.
Living in this society, when your influence is big enough and you want to go further, every move you make will bring unexpected feedback.
This is what Mr. Yamada once said. When a company develops to a certain level, can it influence a country or a city?
Fortunately, I am not fighting alone without any support, but this year Shirakawa Electric will soon complete a gorgeous transformation.
…
In late March, when Shirakawa Holdings was at its busiest, Shirakawa Kaede put down his work and prepared to go to the Surugadai campus of Meiji.
March in Neon also has other names such as Yayoi, Sakura Moon, Hanami Moon, Hanasaki Moon, Haruyu Moon, and Yumemim Moon.
The two short words "Chun Xi" contain countless feelings of reluctance to part and longing for the future.
Yes, March is the graduation season in Japan, and it is also the day when Shirakawa Kaede officially graduated from Meiji.
Universities in Japan adopt a two-semester system, with the school starting in April and October each year, and graduation times concentrated in March and September.
However, nowadays, most schools adopt the April admission system, so March is the graduation season for most students.
Every time this season comes, cherry blossoms are bound to be in full bloom.
Shirakawa Kaede walked under the Meiji cherry trees, stepping on the falling cherry blossoms, and headed towards the school auditorium.
The classmates around me walked on the graduation path with sweet and sour feelings, reminiscing about their campus life.
In this season that represents the beginning of the year, they are also ready to put an end to the past and start a new chapter in life.
"Shirakawa-kun, do you think it's okay for me to dress like this?"
Kiryu Juichiro, who was walking beside him, was still wearing a flashy white suit, but his long hair was gone.
According to him, he wore a white suit when he attended the entrance ceremony here four years ago.
Of course, today's graduation ceremonies also require a white suit to echo the beginning and the end.
Baichuan Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw his savoring look.
"Rest assured, it's just as compelling as it was four years ago."
"That's good, but it's a pity that the long hair is gone, otherwise it would be perfect."
Kiryu Juichiro touched his short hair with some regret, and a look of nostalgia on his face.
Because I am doing a legal job after my internship, long hair is not suitable for that kind of rigorous and solemn atmosphere.
Although he is a bit showy, he also knows that work should be done with a working attitude.
So even though she was reluctant to give up her long hair, she still decided to keep a neat and short hairstyle.
Seeing his regretful look, Baichuan Feng seemed to have returned to four years ago.
Time passed so quickly, but unlike that time, he no longer felt the shame when walking next to Kiryu Juichiro.
Because even though there was a weirdo in a white suit around him now, the eyes of the surrounding students frequently lingered on Shirakawa Kaede.
There have long been many different stories about this legendary student of the Meiji era circulating on campus.
But no matter which one, the experience of being born from grassroots and starting from scratch is the most well-known.
Unfortunately, since he almost never appeared on campus later, everyone only heard of him but never saw him in person.
Now on this important day, this legendary figure also attended the graduation .
This action naturally aroused everyone's curiosity, so Baichuan Feng once again became the giant panda being watched, receiving the attention of many students.
If it weren't for the two bodyguard-like figures following him, everyone might have wanted to come up and find out what was going on.
Without paying attention to other people's gazes, Shirakawa Kaede and Kiryu Juichiro walked towards the auditorium on their own.
After several years of ups and downs, he has long been accustomed to the gazes in various public occasions.
The person is still the same person, but the state of mind is no longer the same as before.
During graduation season, the highlight is of course the graduation ceremony.
In the school auditorium, Shirakawa Kaede put on his bachelor's gown and solemnly received his graduation certificate from Meiji President Shinichi Yamamoto.
This was not the first time he had met this principal.
Ever since Shirakawa Electric gradually grew, Shirakawa Kaede has long been a well-known figure among Meiji's senior decision makers.
If there is anything that needs to be discussed with Meiji officials, they will receive a high-level reception.
So Principal Shinichi Yamamoto has higher expectations for him.
"Shirakawa-san, congratulations on your graduation. I hope you can bring more positive and meaningful things to society and the public, just like before."
"Shirakawa always remembers the spirit of perseverance and independence taught by the Meiji era."
Principal Shinichi Yamamoto nodded with great relief, indicating that he could graduate.
Bai Chuanfeng bowed and left the front desk of the auditorium. Every student would receive his or her graduation certificate from the principal and the dean here.
He is one of them, but they will meet this principal again later. Now that he has graduated, Baichuan Feng can let go of some things.
Even though you have received your diploma, it does not mean that the graduation ceremony is over.
Wearing bachelor's gowns, they sang the ancient graduation song "Respect My Teacher" together in the school auditorium.
Graduation is the end of school, but also the beginning of entering the society. Many sentimental female students had tears in their eyes and could not help but feel emotional.
When the chorus ended, the school's official graduation ceremony came to an end.
But how can the graduation ceremony end so early?
After coming out of the school auditorium, students from the Faculty of Business Administration gathered together to take various graduation photos.
Shirakawa Kaede's teacher, Professor Yamada, also became the object of students' competition for taking photos.
Similarly, Baichuan Feng unexpectedly received a series of love confession letters today. After those female classmates stuffed the letters into his hands, they said "I like you" and then bowed and turned away.
Perhaps for them, it doesn't matter whether the confession is successful or not.
On the last day at school, their original intention was to bravely express their feelings without any regrets.
After doing all this, waving goodbye to youth and turning around to start a new journey may not be a kind of open-minded spirit.
Baichuan Feng solemnly accepted their confession letters and bowed to thank them for their favor.
After finishing all this, the graduation ceremony full of ritual came to an end.
However, after taking off his bachelor's gown, Shirakawa Kaede did not leave Meiji University.
Instead, he came to the Meiji "Freedom Tower" office building and met with Meiji school representatives.
He came here today for no other reason than to donate money.
When the Shirakawa Electric Walkman started to make a profit, he also thought about whether he should donate some money to the school or something.
After all, he was able to successfully get Shirakawa Electric back on the right track, and the help from Meiji behind the scenes was immeasurable.
However, when he first proposed this idea, he was stopped by Professor Yamada.
In the words of Professor Yamada, at this time, Shirakawa Electric did not need this method to demonstrate its existence or gain fame.
But now Shirakawa Electric is no longer what it used to be. Over the years, it has grown into a true multinational company.
Now Shirakawa Kaede feels that building a "Shirakawa Teaching Building" on the campus of Meiji University might be a suitable choice.
"Principal Yamamoto, Chairman Matsumoto, this is the support that Shirakawa Denki will provide for the school's educational cause."
As he spoke, Shirakawa Feng handed the plan in his hand to several decision makers of the school, and his teacher, Professor Yamada, also sat on one side of the conference table.
After Yamamoto and the others took over Shirakawa Kaede's plan, they read it in detail.
However, the more they looked, the wider their eyes widened.
This... is a big deal.
"Shirakawa-san, is this appropriate? Will it cause trouble for your company?"
To be honest, school leaders are of course happy that companies donate money.
But a student who just graduated today turned around and donated a teaching building costing more than 1 billion yen to the school.
This made them extremely surprised. Has Shirakawa Electric grown to this point?
That’s not all. In addition to the teaching building, Shirakawa Electric will also provide an additional 200 million yen in cash to support the school’s teaching.
Part of this will be used as the operating fund of the "Shirakawa Scholarship", which aims to support needy students and outstanding students with excellent academic performance.
Various terms and items were listed one by one, and it was obvious that the plan had been prepared long ago.
It is a good thing for students to give back to their alma mater, but the school is also worried that such a huge expenditure will bring pressure to the students who have just graduated.
However, unlike their worries, Baichuan Feng just smiled indifferently.
“Please rest assured, it is Shirakawa’s honor to be able to do what I can for the school’s educational cause.
As for the funding issue, Baichuan Electric has already completed the internal accounting, and there will be no problem. "
Although the money is not small, it will not be paid out all at once. According to the plan, it will be completed over several years.
"But speaking of which, there are some things that students need the school to take care of."
Now that the money has been donated, it wouldn't be too much to ask the school to help out as well.
