  • Nishio: After all, isn’t it beneficial to act with full of confidence in a situation where there is Uncertainty? Also [mahjong]. Or [brah] in [poker]. Pretending to have a strong hand even if you don't have a hand in. Pretending to have a strong hand in a situation where it would be more advantageous to pretend to have a strong hand, irrespective of whether the hand is actually strong or weak. I think the ability to separate the two contributes to this.

Nishio: Tachikawa-san kind of went silent, though. Tachikawa: They are just silent because they talk too much. Male Y: (laughs) Nishio: The first thing I want to confirm is what is going on with regard to today’s time schedule? Tachikawa: Oh, almost perfect. You just somewhat put an end to the discussion, didn’t you? Nishio: Yes. Tachikawa: So my plan is to have one last wargame and end at 9:00. Male Y: Oh, I see. Nishio: He said he would do it one more time at the end. Tachikawa: Then doesn’t it feel kind of good? Don’t you want to try it again in this situation? All: (laughs) Nishio: We were talking about something that seemed to be rather business management 01:47:05 〓 but we could have been talking about how to win a wargame, and then I would like to try it again. 〓01:47:13〓Because we were even talking about the need to talk about it up to 〓01:47:13〓as a strategy. Tachikawa: That’s right. When I played with Mr. Nishida, I felt that a person who is a strong wargamer is a stronger manager than a person who is a strong mahjong player. Can someone who is a strong mahjong player be a strong manager? I am almost certain that a manager is a strong mahjong player. I am not a good mahjong player. Actually. Man X: I’m weak at mahjong too. Tachikawa: They are very weak. Man X: Yes, that’s right. Tachikawa: I thought it would be better to be stronger somehow. Male X: I don’t know about that. Nishio: It’s not about getting stronger at mahjong, it’s about getting stronger at management. Tachikawa: I hope that mahjong will become stronger as a result. My objective is to become stronger in management. Nishio: I wonder, isn’t it still about acting confidently in a situation of uncertainty and circumstance? Mahjong, too. Tachikawa: Ah. Nishio: It’s like bluffing in poker. Pretending to have a strong hand even if you don’t have a hand in. Man X: Oh, I see. Nishio: In situations where it is more advantageous to pretend to have a strong hand, you pretend to have a strong hand regardless of whether the actual hand is strong or weak. You have to separate the two, don’t you? Tachikawa: Yes, yes, yes. Then let’s do one last time.
