At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell of Kishimoto's family rang. So Sakai Rie went to open the door in a reflexive manner. Oda and his wife came to visit in person with a watermelon. Today's afternoon tea was made at the Hashimoto's party last night.

While Sakai Rie was asking her to let the couple enter the house, she took the watermelon that Mrs. Oda delivered to her.

After the door automatically closed, she slightly accelerated her steps and walked in front in two steps, heading towards Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, said: "Professor Oda and his wife are here."

Masayoshi Kishimoto was still teasing Xiao A and Xiao B for the first time, then stopped. He stood up and looked at the Oda couple, and said politely: "Welcome, welcome."

"I'm upset." Professor Oda stopped and stood attentively, bowed to the other party a little.

"You are so polite. Come and sit down." Kishimoto Masayoshi said calmly.

Oda and his wife walked to the sofa in the large living room and sat down with their feet. Then, Masayoshi Kishimoto also sat down again.

Rie Sakai picked up the watermelon and went straight to the kitchen. She took out all the black tea she had prepared long ago, the pastries she bought from outside, and the fruits she had put them on the crystal coffee table to entertain guests.

"Professor Oda, President, if you are not used to drinking British black tea, I will give you freshly ground Brazilian coffee." Sakai Rie smiled.

"No need to be too troublesome. This will make us both embarrassed and never dare to come to you again." Mrs. Oda said completely without the arrogance of the medical family in the past.

As soon as Sakai Rie sat down, Kishimoto Masyoshi said bluntly: "If there is anything, it's okay to say it."

"I heard that the Hard Gold Capital of Marunouchi Chiyoda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hard Gold Group. It is also quite famous in the industry." Professor Oda suddenly sat upright and said.

"The current president of Hard Gold Capital is Kiyoshi Kobayashi. If you have any business or project, you can talk to him." Masayoshi Kishimoto was not shirking, but gave a positive answer.

"Oda Hospital's early expansion was too big, which has led to financial difficulties in operation now." Professor Oda felt that it was more effective to find the president because it was not more effective, so he mentioned it roughly.

"Professor Oda, I think you haven't figured out what hard gold capital is for? This is an investment company dedicated to investing, not lending.

If you need funds to make a turnaround, you should go to a bank loan instead of an investment company.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said lukewarmly.

"I have visited all the major banks in person. They feel that the risk of Oda Hospital is too high and no longer provide loans to us."

Professor Oda knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from the other party. Instead of trying to suffer from face, he would rather tell the truth.

"In theory, the buildings, land and other fixed assets of Oda Hospital can be completely mortgaged to the bank for loans. Unless Oda Hospital has already mortgaged it." Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

"It's true as you said. We invested this loan into the expansion of the hospital. We originally expected that the number of patients would increase, but unexpectedly, it decreased.

The monthly loan interest, the salary of medical staff, the maintenance costs of medical equipment, etc. are quite a lot of expenses.

The root of all this is the negative impact of the Asian financial crisis. Even if it has been completely over for half a year, it has not completely recovered from Japan's economy.

Even if you are sick, it will make it possible for many people to resist and not come to the hospital for treatment. I think that in another half a year or a year, when Japan's economy has a significant recovery and improvement, the number of people coming to the hospital for treatment will increase." Professor Oda said slowly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto didn't believe his remarks. He knew better than anyone that the Asian financial storm that Japan experienced was not as severe as South Korea, but it also hurt a certain amount of vitality.

Since then, Japan's overall economy has been in a state of sluggish growth for a long time. It was not until 2006 that it was finally able to fully recover.

However, just two years later, the global financial tsunami in 2008 suffered a significant negative impact on Japan.

If the economy is not good and there is no good growth, then the actual example reflected in social life will be employment difficulties, salary declines instead of rising, and prices will continue to rise.

The reason why Japan has slow economic growth is that the employment difficulties are because the driving force for growth comes from large companies, rather than small and medium-sized companies whose labor is concentrated.

Large companies will inevitably consider profit margin issues when hiring people. Therefore, the method they adopted is to directly reduce the employment of formal members and turn to a large number of informal members and dispatch employees.

Otherwise, it is to outsource non-core businesses at all levels to achieve the goal of reducing costs. For this reason, ordinary people cannot fully understand the actual feelings brought by economic growth, but instead feel that life is becoming more and more difficult.

Even if they know they are sick, they dare not go to the hospital. Even if Japan's medical system is 30% of their own expenses and 70% reimbursement, it will make these people with medical insurance afraid to go to the hospital for medical treatment. After all, having a job today does not mean that they will not be fired tomorrow.

But people have to eat every day. Not only that, they also have to pay rent, water, electricity, and other fees. It is really not ordinary hard work for middle- and low-income people living in Tokyo.

Regarding this, Kishimoto Masayoshi has a complete say. After all, Makoto Natsui's past life was his best first-hand source of information.

After a silence of Kishimoto Masayoshi said without a smile: "Professor Oda, do you mean you want to sell part of the hospital's equity in exchange for a funding investment?"

Professor Oda did not deny: "That's what I mean."

"Don't think I'm straightforward. Nowadays, Oda Hospital's operating conditions are not good, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to get much cash from the sale of some shares?

As any investment company or individual, it will not be considered that if Oda Hospital goes bankrupt, not only will the money invested will be wasted, but it will also bear some joint and several liability and debts.

Even if you sell all the shares of Oda Hospital as a whole, it may be difficult to find a buyer for a while. Even if you find it, it is extremely likely that the price will be greatly reduced.

How much does your hospital have in detail? Only after reading the specific financial statements of the hospital will you understand it.

If you really want to retain the operating rights of Oda Hospital, the best way is not to raise funds from outside, but to reinvest in real estate under your private name.

As for the risks, I needless to say, you know it clearly. This is also the most feasible method. In addition, in my opinion, it is particularly difficult.

What's more, Hard Gold Capital's investment projects have not yet involved any investment in medical fields.

Furthermore, investment in medical projects is no more than investment in other projects. This is related to human life." Masayoshi Kishimoto said it all.
