Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The plane landed at Tokyo International Airport.

He Yuzhu exited the airport and met the person arranged by Kuang Zhihong to pick him up.

A beautiful young woman stepped forward.

"Mr. He, I am Yuka Ueda, Mr. Kuang's assistant."

Mr. Kuang has a very important negotiation today and cannot come to pick you up.

He Yuzhu looked her over a few times and asked, "Why didn't I see you when I came here last time?"

Yuka Ueda explained, "I just joined the company recently. I used to work in London."

These are newly recruited staff members.

When He Yuzhu left last time, he assigned Kuang Zhihong a lot of tasks.

Given the size of the Japanese branch at the time, it was certainly impossible to complete those tasks.

Judging from her age, He Yuzhu estimated that she was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, which was definitely not the age of a recent college graduate.

What organization do you work for in London?

Before Yuka Ueda arrived, she already knew He Yuzhu's identity and explained it very respectfully.

“I am a graduate student at Cambridge University, and after graduating I worked for two years at the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange.”

He graduated from Cambridge University and also worked at the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange; he is a capable person.

He Yuzhu asked, "What are your views on the prospects of the Japanese economy?"

Yuka Ueda was surprised that He Yuzhu would ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, she began to share her opinion.

He Yuzhu listened attentively, nodding occasionally. As expected of a Cambridge University graduate, his insights were truly remarkable.

The brief overview of the last two years follows the same development trend as later generations.

However, the insights gained a few years later were vastly different.

Her insights are all based on the premise of Japan's economy reaching a new level.

If the foundation is wrong, no matter how much you say, it won't be right.

Yuka Ueda is Japanese, so it's understandable that she doesn't believe Japan will decline.

These mistakes will not affect He Yuzhu's appreciation for her.

"I ask you, what do other Japanese economic experts say? Do they all agree that things are going well?"

Yuka Ueda didn't understand why He Yuzhu asked that question, but she still answered honestly.

"There are indeed some experts who are not optimistic about Japan's development. But they are a minority after all."

Mr. He, the appreciation of the Japanese yen is a long-term trend, which will lead to a relative depreciation of overseas assets.

Now, all of Japan's major conglomerates are taking advantage of this trend to buy overseas assets.

I believe that even if Japan experiences economic problems, it will not affect Japan's prosperity.

He Yuzhu did not deny her words. Even though the Japanese economy has declined, Japan's GDP is still enormous.

“You’re right. That’s also the company’s goal: to take advantage of the current opportunity to acquire high-quality assets in Europe and America.”

Perhaps it was because He Yuzhu's attitude was so good that Yuka Ueda became much bolder.

"I have a suggestion: the company could participate in real estate projects."

With land prices in Japan continuing to rise, and the company having so much capital, it should be keeping it in the bank to earn interest.

"You can make suggestions to Mr. Kuang; I don't handle these specific matters."

Japanese real estate can indeed still generate profits for a few more years, but He Yuzhu doesn't have that much energy.

How to develop real estate projects and what specific business to engage in are things that Kuang Zhihong needs to consider.

He Yuzhu could only tell them when to stop, so they wouldn't fall into the trap when the bubble burst.

Hearing that He Yuzhu did not accept the proposal, Yuka Ueda was not discouraged and continued to introduce some other information.

What interested He Yuzhu was that Kuang Zhihong had done a good job with the task he assigned.

Soon, the car arrived at a villa area in Tokyo. This was a property that Kuang Zhihong had just purchased, intending to provide a place for He Yuzhu to live.

The chaos in Japan during his last visit frightened him, and fearing something might happen to He Yuzhu, he bought a villa. He Yuzhu really wanted to tell him that there was no need to be so nervous.

Whether Japan is in chaos or not is now up to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu is the biggest source of danger.

Upon arriving at the villa, He Yuzhu went to his room to rest first. After waking up from a nap, Kuang Zhihong also arrived at the villa.

“Mr. He, I am currently discussing cooperation with the Mitsubishi Group.” Kuang Zhihong explained the reason right away.

He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "How did the negotiations go?"

Kuang Zhihong said, "It's alright. I'd like to participate in their semiconductor research project, as you instructed."

They agreed, but what they offered wasn't the core technology project.

This is also normal.

The Mitsubishi Group is not short of money, so it certainly wouldn't offer its most core projects in collaboration with others.

Especially since this partner is a Hong Kong company.

He Yuzhu's company plans to gradually expand internationally. To reduce the likelihood of being targeted, it must conceal its domestic background.

Therefore, He Yuzhu instructed Kuang Zhihong to register companies in the Cayman Islands and other locations, and then begin integrating overseas operations. Going forward, overseas operations would be separated from domestic operations.

"Tell me about the company integration issue."

Kuang Zhihong took out a document and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"This is the detailed plan I've prepared. Now I'll introduce the company to you..."

He Yuzhu didn't know much about these things and found them a bit confusing, but he still listened very attentively.

He had a good memory and wrote down all of Kuang Zhihong's introduction.

“You did a great job. After we sell all the yen we have, we’ll transfer the funds to our current company.”

Also, has Lawrence contacted you?

“I’ve contacted him, and he’s already told me about the American company’s plans.” Kuang Zhihong then recounted his conversation with Lawrence.

"Mr. He, I'd like to ask, did you enter the sports industry purely out of passion, or...?"

He Yuzhu said, "Basketball is my personal hobby, that's true. But I entered the basketball industry to make money."

You should learn about the sports industry.

Kuang Zhihong said, "I do know a little, but not much. The sports industry is very complex, and we really don't have the extra energy."

He Yuzhu didn't care at all. For him, investing in the sports industry was actually the simplest thing.

As long as he invests in those star players and teams based on his memories from the future, there will be absolutely no problem.

"We're just investing, we're not involved in management. Don't worry, listen to me and there won't be any problems."

"Which Yuka Ueda did you poach from London?"

"Yes. This person was introduced by Tomoo Kitagawa. I also assessed her abilities."

She is a better fit to head the Japanese branch than Tomoo Kitagawa.

This is a really high rating.

Tomoo Kitagawa is a very capable company executive within the Sumitomo Group.

If he hadn't offended a wealthy young man and been ostracized, he would never have left the Sumitomo Group to join He Yuzhu's company.

Kuang Zhihong flew from Hong Kong twice to persuade him to come.

"I don't care how the personnel are used, I only care about the results. I've thought it through, and since I'm going to enter the sports industry, I can't let go of football."

You set up a project and invest in several clubs.

Kuang Zhihong had no choice but to accept He Yuzhu's arrangement.

Although the company has two bosses, it is clear that He Yuzhu is the one who calls the shots.

What made him agree so readily was He Yuzhu's almost prophetic foresight.

Ninety percent of the credit for the company's rapid development should be attributed to He Yuzhu.

"I will set up a sports company as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
