Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Stop it.

I would rather do nothing.

He Yuzhu thought for a while and sighed.

The idea is good, but there is no right person to do it.

I didn't plan to tell my aunt about this.

It's no use talking about it, we have no money and no people,

If you can't find the right person, this may not work out. If your aunt knows about it, she will just be overjoyed. It's better not to tell her.

Even if it succeeds in the future, it’s best not to mention it.

This matter is too important. We must stay out of it and have no involvement in it.

He Yuzhu rubbed his brows and sighed in his heart.

There's no use thinking about these things.

If you can't find the right person, nothing can go on.

In fact, there is a best way. Under the name of Go, you can settle down in Japan, change your nationality, marry a Japanese wife, and do it yourself.

But this is too much of a stretch. It would be better to do nothing and leave this difficult problem to future generations to solve.

At the discussion meeting,

Everyone was very excited and was thinking about Japan's assistance in building the steel plant.

Considering the convenience of sea transportation for importing iron ore from overseas, they also discussed which coastal city to build the steel plant in.

Building a steel plant is a great thing, but there is also a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

That's money.

The construction of this steel plant would cost at least tens of billions, not including the cost of purchasing the production line. If the settlement with Japan was in US dollars, the foreign exchange reserves would not be enough.

Therefore, everyone started discussing another issue.

Japan is willing to provide financial assistance, which, to put it bluntly, means lending money.

The condition is that the borrowed money can only be used to buy things in Japan.

In addition, domestic oil and coal have to be sold to Japan at low prices.

Most people disagree with this question.

However, another idea was proposed.

Exchange coal and oil for production lines at a price slightly lower than the international market price.

This matter needs to be discussed in detail with the Japanese side. It is still unclear whether Japan will agree or not, so the meeting ended temporarily.

He Yuzhu stood up and prepared to go back to his room.

I was stopped by my aunt again:

"Xiao He, you didn't say anything during the whole process. Do you have any thoughts on the issue of financial aid? Do you disagree with it?"

"We lack technology and funds. Financial assistance is a good thing. I personally think it's okay."

He Yuzhu thought about it, his expression became serious, and he reminded seriously:

"If it really works out, it would be best to agree that the repayment will be calculated based on the US dollar exchange rate."

“The international economic situation is unpredictable, and Europe is already facing an economic crisis;

“The repayment period is long;

“Although Japan is rich now, who can guarantee that it will not encounter an economic crisis in ten or twenty years?

"The most valuable currency in the world is the U.S. dollar, and repaying the loan at the U.S. dollar exchange rate is the safest option."

Auntie thought about it and sighed:

“This matter still needs to be discussed, and I don’t know whether it can be accomplished;

"However, your suggestion is quite novel."

At the discussion meeting on the second day, several more companies were visited.

Return to the hotel in the afternoon.

He Yuzhu was reading the newspaper when the phone rang.

It was a call from the embassy staff.

He said that two people from Hong Kong came to him and asked him if he knew him.

After hearing the name,

He Yuzhu was a little surprised.

Only Jiqi was allowed to come, why did Huang Ruo come along as well?

Arrived at the embassy,

He Yuzhu met two people.

After three years, Jiqi has lost her immaturity and has become more mature and beautiful. She is wearing a professional suit, fashionable and beautiful.

Huang Ruoze looked like a nouveau riche, wearing a branded suit and a big gold watch. He raised his arms to show off, fearing that others would not notice and ignore him.

He Yuzhu glanced at him helplessly, and before he could speak,

Huang Ruo smiled and came over flatteringly, saying flatteringly:

“Boss, Sister E specifically asked me to keep an eye on you and not let you and Jiqi be alone;

"But don't worry, I will disappear immediately and I won't tell anyone a word about you and Jiqi!"

"Thank you to your whole family!"

He Yuzhu's face was dark, and he subconsciously turned his head to look to the side.

Jiqi lowered her head, her innocent face flushed slightly, like a blooming orchid, so beautiful beyond words.

He Yuzhu was distracted for a moment, and suddenly an idea popped up...

Jiqi is from Hong Kong and has nothing to do with the mainland.

Looks like a good candidate, as long as he stands——

He Yuzhu's body stiffened slightly and he quickly put aside this ridiculous idea.

He decided to let Huang Ruo move freely.

Afterwards, he took Jiqi to a nearby hotel.

Entered the room.

He Yuzhu frowned and thought deeply.

The original plan was to open a foreign trade company in Japan.

Let Hong Kong's Colada or Red Bull hold the controlling stake in this company, and let Jiqi be responsible for the management and contact with related companies in Japan to start the stainless steel export business.

The tricky part is finding businesses to work with.

As for the transportation of stainless steel, it is actually the easiest part, which can be done through Guo’s sea transportation.

The Guo family started out in shipping, and although they later focused on real estate development in Hong Kong, they never gave up the shipping business.

After the real estate purchase restrictions were implemented, the Guo family invested most of the money they earned from real estate into shipping and started transporting building materials. The scale of their shipping has expanded dozens of times compared to before. They can be said to be a hidden shipping tycoon in Hong Kong.

The reason why it is said to be hidden is that the Guo family has been acting very low-key since being jointly restricted. Their companies are basically not listed in Hong Kong and they focus on the real economy.

The stainless steel in the city is transported to Tianjin Port and then shipped directly to Japan by sea.

It is the most direct route.

Now with the support of Mitsuki Hisayama, there is no need for personal involvement. All you need to do is open an import and export foreign trade company under the name of Mitsuki Hisayama.

After all, domestic stainless steel is exported to Japanese companies at a price slightly lower than the market price.

Earning foreign exchange is good, but if it is linked to one's own interests, one may be suspected of "skimming fat", which is inappropriate.

These are all old ideas.

Considering that it wants to get involved in the iron ore field, the trading company cannot let Mitsuki Hisayama have full control, but only needs to give him a small number of shares.

Hong Kong’s company and the Guo family should not get involved. An outsider is needed to have absolute control.

This choice is crucial.

There is no better choice temporarily.

It is also possible to let Jiqi be the temporary agent.

Import and export trade is actually very simple. The source of purchase or shipment is under your control and can be managed by anyone.

A few years later, when there is sufficient capital, the company will plan to expand into iron ore business, and the absolute controlling shareholder will have to be replaced by a trustworthy person.

It's still early and there are still a few years to find the right person, so there's no rush.

The most important thing at present is to establish a trading company first, connect it with the domestic market, and form an industrial chain.

In addition to the stainless steel outlet,

There is another important reason why Jiqi came.

Introducing several instant noodle production lines, operating them under the name of Lego through a trading company, and with the endorsement of Mitsuki Hisayama, things will become much easier.

He Yuzhu was thinking about his plan to go to Japan.

The room was quiet.

Jiqi stole a glance at him, her cheeks flushed.

On the plane when we came here, Huang Ruo kept saying things like, "I'll take good care of you in the future when you become the boss's wife." They kept talking all the way and went into a hotel together.

I thought……

She was thinking about how to politely refuse.

Now it seems that I was obviously worrying too much.

Jiqi felt inexplicably shy, her face burned hot, and she felt even more annoyed.

Managing two companies, she was well aware of the wealth the man in front of her possessed.

Fanta is a hot seller in Southeast Asia. It is priced the same as Coca-Cola but tastes better, so it is hard not to be popular.

This is especially true for Jianlibao and its fast food chain.

At the end of each quarter, the amount of money the Guo family deposited into the company was dizzying.

In addition, although the production of Lego and Red Bull is not large, they are also hot-selling in Hong Kong, and the prices remain strong, which also brings a lot of wealth.

Compared with his wealth, this man's charm is even greater. He is so handsome that people can't help but fall in love with him at first sight.

But this man is too cold.

He is not bad looking, but he seems to be blind and no one ever looks at him strangely.

If he has any intention,

Although I will refuse,

But I am also excited inside, which proves that I am still attractive, isn't it!

However, the other party remained indifferent and did not show any reaction.

This makes people feel powerless and discouraged.

This also means that in his eyes, I am unattractive.

If he is single,

Jiqi really wanted to pursue him boldly.

But he was married, and she didn't want to be the third party, nor did she want to destroy his family. Even if she had a crush on him, she could only keep it to herself...

Moreover, I just have a good impression of her and have never thought about developing it further.

"Jackie..."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and called out.

"what?"

Jiqi came back to his senses, a little flustered: "Mr. He, what's the matter?"

"I plan to set up a trading company in Hong Kong, and you will be the controlling shareholder. You can stay in Hong Kong, and we will hire professional managers to manage the Japanese side. The main business..."

He Yuzhu expressed his thoughts concisely.

Jiqi bit her lip, feeling confused.

Although he didn't know the volume of exported stainless steel and the price difference, Jiqi was very clear that having absolute control over the company was equivalent to directly giving away a huge fortune.

When a man suddenly gives a woman so much money, she can guess his purpose and intention.

Jiqi felt excited and thrilled to be noticed by him, as it showed that she was attractive.

But the education she received since childhood also told her that she couldn't agree to it. Hesitant, Jiqi said in panic:

"Mr. He, this is not good. I, I can't agree to this...!"

"Why?"

He Yuzhu looked at her strangely, very puzzled.

"me……"

Jiqi lowered her head even lower, her face turned redder, and her voice was flustered and small:

"You, you have a family, and Sister E is very good to me. I, I can't, I can't convince myself to agree to you. It's not right for us to do this. I'm sorry, I can't accept this company."

How could you think so!

He Yuzhu's eyes twitched and he said calmly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly and caused you to misunderstand:

“Due to some special reasons, Xiangdao’s company cannot be controlled, and no suitable person can be found to take absolute control of the company temporarily;

So I thought of you. These shares are not given to you for free. We will sign an agreement and you will only manage these shares temporarily.

I'm sorry if this has caused you any trouble, and I will consider finding someone else to take control of the company.

"Besides, please rest assured that I won't have any improper thoughts..."

how so!

Overthinking again!

Jiqi buried his head even lower, his face felt hot as if it were on fire, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

He Yuzhu did not participate in the arrangements for the next journey.

He was busy with the affairs of a trading company and originally planned to register a new company named Sakura, but he found out that the name had already been taken by someone else.

Through the relationship of their friend Mitsuki Hisayama, they directly purchased the small company. As a result, Mitsuki Hisayama got 10% of the company's shares, while the rest was controlled by Huang Ruo.

Although Huang Ruo has no fixed position and is greedy for money, he can't find any benefits to be gained from this trading company, as it currently only deals with stainless steel business and is basically an empty shell.

As for Jiqi, he was sent back to Hong Kong Island.

Whenever he thought of this, He Yuzhu felt aggrieved, as if he had become the kind of bad boss who would take advantage of female employees.

In fact, letting Jiqi go back was not out of anger or stinginess, and He Yuzhu did not care too much about it.

He just thought that since such a misunderstanding had occurred, Jiqi would definitely feel embarrassed, and as a good boss, he naturally had to take his subordinates' feelings into consideration.

So we decided to let her return to Hong Kong to continue managing the two companies, which was the best option for her.

On the flight to Hong Kong Island, Jiqi held his chin with his hand, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. He was in a very low mood and always felt like he had missed something.

Although the boss' explanation was reasonable and he did not say later that he disagreed with her holding the shares, she did not listen to the explanation at all and was sent back to Hong Kong directly.

If you think about it carefully, this feels like the boss's behavior of being angry and embarrassed after being rejected.

"Ugh……"

Jiqi covered her face in regret.

In Hong Kong, although polygamy was abolished not long ago, being a mistress or a third party to someone else is still quite common, although not recognized by the law.

Many wealthy businessmen have mistresses, and some even take pride in it.

However, this happened too suddenly, and she had never had such an idea before, so she instinctively refused in panic.

Thinking back on it afterwards, I felt indescribably sad.

The boss is handsome and rich, and it seems like it would be a good idea to agree to be his mistress.

Really, why did you refuse then?

Now that he has been sent back to Hong Kong, it is not known whether he will still be reused.

The most important thing is that once you miss such an opportunity, you don’t know when it will come again.

You can't just take the initiative to stick to someone right after you've rejected them. That would be too embarrassing.

Jiqi blushed and her heart beat fast, feeling very nervous.

If the boss really likes her, after being rejected this time, he should take further action after a while. This is actually very obvious.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, if she could continue her original job duties, it would mean that her boss really just misunderstood and did not have that intention, so she gave up the idea.

If she is transferred to another department and loses her original power but is not fired, it means that her boss may be deliberately attacking her in order to make her surrender, and that he still cares about her and may still have a good impression of her.

Thinking of this, Jiqi felt a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, and was in a mess.

As the trip to Japan was coming to an end, He Yuzhu finished dealing with company affairs and called Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong before leaving for the next country.
