掌理八佰伴的第三年,我就在热海建起新的八佰伴百货公司,同时也设立了面包、糖果和调味食品的工厂,为八佰伴生产相当数量的商品。这一年,营业数字达到当时的10亿日元,公司资本也由1000万增加到3000万日元。1966年,我又在伊东市开出了一家真正比较有规模的八佰伴分店。伊东距离热海很近,那里的市民知道八佰伴的名字。我和二弟晃昌都以为在这样地利人和的条件下可以顺利达到目标,没想到一开始就碰了钉子。伊东市早就有十字屋和长屋两家信用良好的超 In the third year of managing the Yaohan, I built a new Yaohan department store in Atami, and also set up a factory for bread, candy, and seasoning food to produce a considerable amount of goods for Yaohan. In that year, the business figure reached 1 billion yen at that time, and the company’s capital increased from 10 million to 30 million yen. In 1966, I opened a really more serious Yaohan branch in Ito. Ito is very close to Atami, where citizens know the name of the Yaohan. Both my younger brother and Mr. Huang Chang thought that they could reach the goal successfully under such favorable conditions. I did not expect to hit a nail in the beginning. Ito City has long had two well-credited homes, the Cross House and the Long House.
