ブラック・プレジデント

You managing a company? Yes.

Doesn't it keep you busy? Well, yea.

Fortunately, it's being managed quite well,

I've trained my subordinates,

so lately I've found myself with a little spare time,

I've decided that I'd like to go back to school.

Well, because you are already managing the company,

is it really necessary for you to go back to college to study business administration?

Well now?

You think it's pointless? Oh, no no.

There's just a limit to how many working students we admit.

As much as we can, we want students

with an ambition to learn and that will benefit the most from the education.

Well, up to now in my life things have gone by so swiftly,

I thought it might be good to just take a little step back.

I've been working ever since I was a student,

I never had a chance to experience life as a student.

So I'd like to see for myself,

what campus life is like.

Are you saying you'd like to take back the spring of your life?

You make it sound like I'd like to fall in love with a co-ed~.

But I have one more motive,

I want to observe the state of the college.

With declining birthrates, what effect is this having on the administration of the

slowly deteriorating universities and if they can survive.

Possibly, if I do nothing, it'll wither and die?

I have interest in this as a manager.

What can you do to help us survive?

We definitely want to hear your opinion.

Well, I think you're a little late,

to be asking people's opinions.

Due to declining birthrates, the university has less customers,

this is something unavoidable,

a major restructuring is necessary, don't you think?

A sweeping restructure among professors and administration.

Up until now, it's like you've been

growing mold in the same old rut, with the professors giving the same old lectures,

year after year.

Have you thought about ranking your professors on popularity?

Then have those at the bottom, go into retirement.

Watching who will survive will be entertaining.

From those that are left,

You can choose the best.

You can't just sit back

and let things continue to go as they have~.

As a top tier university,

you can use that brand to survive.

However, in a first class place like this,

there might possibly be a fierce battle brewing

among this second rate half baked line-up

for survival in this place.

The person next to you,

might be out to cut your head off?

I was joking, a joke!

You made your point well, without making enemies.

There are many enemies!

People will always hate you for winning.

Tres Fields International has been built in one generation by Mitamura Yuko.

Kill the competition!

His era is marked by his sharp eye for business.

Humans will sink if they don't keep swimming.

You are swimming and I'm swimming with you.

Is what I tell my employees.

And with that charisma,

he's become a fierce competitor in the world of apparel,

with rapid growth in the company he started from scratch.

Tonight,

let's have a look at what makes this man so successful.

Well, there's so much.

When I started the company, I struggled to pay the rent

of 150 thousand yen, I am grateful now that I worked desperately everyday,

even losing sleep to keep it going.

It seems the television audience liked it.

Well the content of the piece was good, but it's probably more due to my good looks.

Really now? Because I have a good looking face,

it's been said by a lot that I could make the cut.

But you don't have any talent.

You're saying it's important for the president of a clothing company to be good looking.

See~. Executive Director Akechi understands!

Much obliged. Now call in the next department.

Everyone hates me because as your secretary I am always having to give out

your unpleasant orders. That's what you're paid for,

You're able to buy those pretty clothes,

or perhaps some pretty underwear. You're OK.

You with that beautiful face, no matter what you tell them, they'll forgive you.

Don't be so uptight.

Perhaps we should have you show your good looking face

around here a little more, it might help

improve the atmosphere ? What you're saying is sexual harassment.

If you say this to any other female employees, you'll get a complaint!

It's OK. I only say it to you, and you've vented your feelings.

Excuse us. These are the things that the Director was waiting for.

Right ~. President, like I had been talking about,

these are the items that I wanted you to have a look at.

These are designs from the independent designer Berutti, Inc,

They're actually quite good. I've already seen them.

They are quite good, but I'm not really into the style.

What should we do? Should we get a contract?

If they will give us 80 percent, we could do it.

There is no way that they'd agree to that.

We've developed our own designers, right? Maybe if you were a little gentler

on young designers, wouldn't it be a good thing?

What and then someday they turn out to be a rival

because of our kindness?

They're useless anyway if they can't survive the

bashing and crushing.

You can take those back. Yes.

We have to take these down again!

As usual the president is full throttle.

Huh, they let me in?

What's this?

What? This, at what time?

I never knew he had such plans.

Why's he blocking these schedules for his secretary?

Do we have the plan for the Select Shop?

They hope do do more than 3 million yen sales a month.

This is interesting, let's do it.

Then, would you like to go to dinner with Kato san?

That guy likes the cabaret clubs, doesn't he..

I like them too.... Then what about after dinner?

What about LALA? LALA? Well LALA is, how....

How about Paradise? Paradise?

Paradise. Take care of it....

Yes. President.

Yes? What's going on

with your schedule being blocked out? Oh you saw that?

Of course I saw it. Because I'm going to school.

What? Where are you going? To college.

President... you said college?

There's only so many people that can get into Jyoto University.

When I was interviewing, I guess I said the right things,

even though I was sure I failed! Look, they accepted me!

Now hold on...

this is no laughing matter! You're going to be

taking that much time? No way, you don't have the time!

You're on the board of directors at the stock exchange!

There's no one else there that represents the small and medium size companies!

You have a responsibility for the lives of your own 1200 employees!

I know! That's why,

I thought I should go back to school and learn the basics again.

It's not just a fine arts school,

I think it'd be good if I got some more knowledge on business administration.

Don't you think it's just a little late for that?

What about our acquisition of Cyber Digital Network,

the new stores we're opening in Nagoya, there is so much that is mounting!

I'll leave it to you. You can handle it can't you?

President, since when did you ever let anyone else make a decision?

You really have me pegged, Director Akechi.

It'll be alright! After all, you have my competent secretary to keep you on track,

She can handle it all. This is no time for flattery.

Anyway, stop this nonsense now! I'm going!

Life is finding your road and then going on it!

Oh and I won't need the car.

I'd like to try taking the subway.

He's really determined, isn't he. Will it be alright?

He won't listen to whatever we say.

Let's try some things with our freedom.

Well it's certainly been extremely hectic here for how many years?

You too, can become a little more flexible.

You could go to some go-kons (Dating parties)...

Sorry, that's sexual harassment.

Nothing more than the President has said.

I need to shut up, I'm outside now. Really.

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

Hey. Yes.

How do you buy a ticket?

Move.

Sorry. Sorry.

Starting this year, I've been assigned to teach this class.

I am Professor Akiyama Kyoko.

We're going to be studying

business administration starting today, and I hope we can open our minds together.

Even though "Business Administration," is easy to say, the field is very expansive.

Management theory, management strategy,

motivation theory, leadership theory and

well, there's many different areas.

To sum it up, the term "Business Administration",

is the learning of business practices that will lead people to find happiness.

A company organization can't be just one person.

But that organization can give birth to people's happiness.

The study of business administration, perhaps can make this go a little smoother.

Companies that are indifferent to people,

should take an interest in this.

For example,

to know how much time and money young people spend

on their smart phones, how could you exploit that?

Today, I will talk about things that corporate leaders

can do to take advantage of that every day.

We are getting fewer and fewer students every year.

Seeing the students makes me jealous.

They have no cares in the world...

They do have a lot to worry about.

Like romance? like a career?

Worrying about those things, just means the flower is blooming!

A much more severe life awaits them.

A severe life is waiting for them? Huh?

Sorry.

By the way, this year too, someone was in the very front.

Yes, I noticed.
