In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Zhang Xiafei had just finished her call with Edward when she came in and asked, "Miss, the senior management of the Osaka branch has arrived."

"understood."

Fu Ziyan put on her coat and strode towards the meeting room, followed by a group of secretaries and bodyguards.

As soon as the door of the conference room opened, the general manager of the Osaka branch, Hidetoshi Tanaka, and his senior management stood up to greet them with an extremely respectful attitude.

Serving tea, coffee, bowing and greeting...Japanese people are always extremely complicated and polite in these superficial understandings.

"President, thank you for visiting our Osaka branch for your guidance. Due to the Shinkansen expansion project, our occupancy rate dropped 12% year-on-year last quarter... We've implemented promotional strategies, but the results have been limited. We'd appreciate your guidance."

"Oh?" Fu Ziyan raised her eyes and looked at him calmly.

Tanaka Hidetoshi carefully analyzed the current business situation, but completely ignored his own responsibility, instead blindly blaming the problems on external factors. Was he judging her by her youth and incomprehension, imagining her as a naive young lady, saddled with flattery and high-handed?

No matter how humble this person's greeting was, he could not hide his temptation towards her, the young female heir, or the contempt for her age and gender hidden behind it.

Japan has a strong prejudice against women in power. Although Fu Ziyan was prepared for this, she still felt unhappy, but she did not show it on her face.

Having spent so much time with her father, she had long been accustomed to keeping her emotions under wraps in business situations. If she ever did express emotions clearly, it was surely a deliberate act or release to achieve a certain goal or benefit.

It wasn't that Fu Ziyan had become a deep-minded "adult." Doted on by her father, with everything going smoothly and no worries about food and clothing, she could never become a ruthless person with deep scheming. It was simply that she didn't think anything at work would be worth expressing her true feelings, and she didn't care whether she was happy or angry, regardless of the situation.

With the Fu family's family trust, her father's lifetime accumulation of wealth, the casual investments she'd made in recent years, and the vast fortune bestowed upon her by the Chengzhen app, she was already wealthy enough to burn through enough money every day to grow old, and the rate of expenditure was likely even slower than the income coming in. Unless she invested in a deep pit or was so "righteous" as to donate all her money while she was still alive, she would never be short of money in her lifetime.

So, whether it's career development, love, travel, racing, skiing, etc., for Fu Ziyan, these are just ways for her to kill time and entertain herself. After all, lying in a rocking chair every day watching TV series and reading novels, or going out shopping and attending parties, will get boring after a while.

Back to the point.

Fu Ziyan did not comment on Tanaka Hidetoshi's evasion of responsibility in the business overview, but only signaled him to continue reporting with her eyes.

Tanaka Hidetoshi was not surprised to see that the young lady in front of him had no reaction. After all, she was the chairman's daughter who was raised with great wealth and wealth. She had seen all kinds of big scenes. Even if she was intimidated by him, it was normal for her to maintain superficial calm.

"Currently, the market in Daban is highly competitive. The Ritz-Carlton caters to high-end business travelers, while Keihan... our hotel's positioning is unclear. The budget approval for the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant we proposed last year has been delayed and has yet to be implemented."

Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows. Although Tanaka Hidetoshi's words showed his professionalism, he was still implicitly shifting the blame, implying that the strategy was delayed because of the slow approval from the headquarters.

She wanted to see what else this branch general manager, who looked down on women and had been testing her abilities, could say, so she simply said, "Continue."

Tanaka stopped shifting blame and instead began to show weakness in an effort to secure resources. "Most of our local employees prefer foreign companies, resulting in a much higher turnover rate than in Tokyo. If headquarters could support bilingual training programs for employees or slightly adjust salaries, I think it would help stabilize the workforce."

"As for our preliminary future plans, in the next stage, we will continue to observe the changes in passenger flow after the opening of the Shinkansen and consider cooperating with travel agencies. If the headquarters can provide additional marketing funds, we can try to carry out promotions targeting Southeast Asia."

"President, what do you think?" Tanaka Hidetoshi's face was full of respect, as if he respected Fu Ziyan's attitude.

"Mr. Tanaka, thank you for your detailed report." Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded, looking elegant and gentle.

But the second half of the sentence is not like that.

Her expression remained unchanged as she calmly glanced around at her senior team, led by Hidetoshi Tanaka. Her tone remained calm, but every word cut to the point. "But as far as I know, InterContinental's occupancy rate only dropped 5% due to the same construction. Can you explain why the difference is so significant?"

Tanaka Hidetoshi hesitated, mentally preparing a response and was about to speak to dispel the suspicion, but Fu Ziyan didn't give him a chance to explain and continued speaking.

"The tea restaurant project you mentioned can be launched next week. I'll transfer a team of chefs from our Hong Kong headquarters to support it. There's no need to mention the budget, but I hope that in three months, the Osaka branch's financial report will show that the proportion of catering revenue will increase by at least 25%."

"You mentioned that employee salaries can be adjusted, but they must be tied to performance. I hope to see your proposal for 'service standards and performance bonuses' by next Monday. I want to ensure that every penny is spent on improving the guest experience."

Tanaka Hidetoshi opened his mouth. This young lady was not just a face-saving fool. She was actually quite talented and knowledgeable. She was decisive and efficient in her work, and used both kindness and force.

This was a good thing, at least it helped them get some profit, as there weren't many opportunities to get resources from the headquarters. If the Osaka branch did well in the future, it could also benefit him.

Tanaka Hidetoshi hadn't felt happy for a few seconds when he saw this seemingly elegant and gentle young lady look at him with eyes full of ruthlessness. Her voice was still as calm and pleasant as water hitting stone, but the intimidation she conveyed was as powerful as a thousand pounds, deafening:

"Mr. Tanaka, I respect the hard work you've put into running the Yuanxi Hotel over the years, but times are changing, the market is developing, and the Yuanxi Hotel can't stand still. I hope that in the next quarter's financial statements, you'll see 'exceeded targets' written after your name."

Hidetoshi Tanaka broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that this young lady was serious!

If the profits of the next quarter do not satisfy her... the word "fired" lingered in Tanaka Hidetoshi's mind.

No! He has two children to support. If he loses his job at this age, the next job he finds will definitely not offer the same salary.

"President, don't worry. With your support and that of the headquarters, our team will work quickly to remedy and improve the hotel's management problems. We will never waste the resources you have given us. Next quarter, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Tanaka Hidetoshi lowered his head, his expression and tone more respectful than ever before.

Fu Ziyan nodded with a smile: "I look forward to the changes in the Osaka store."

After she finished speaking, she left the meeting room, not caring what Hidetoshi Tanaka would do next. After this warning, a few months would be enough for the Osaka store to undergo a transformation.

After all, with the big knife of "unemployment" hanging over his head, Hidetoshi Tanaka had no choice but to try his best.

Just as Fu Ziyan expected, that night Hidetoshi Tanaka asked the management to work overtime to revise the plan, and from that day on, they would strictly control the service level and service attitude of the Osaka store.

Fu Ziyan had no time to notice how late the senior management of the Osaka store worked overtime that night. She was currently looking through the high-quality property report and land sales introduction submitted by her subordinates, which were evaluated by Mitsui Real Estate.

On the surface, it is for site selection for expansion, but in reality, they want to buy land in core areas at low prices and sell them at high prices before the bubble bursts, so as to maximize profits.

This was a great opportunity for Yuanxi Hotel to make some money and use it as capital for expansion in the mainland. The 1990s to the early 21st century was a great time for the development of the mainland hotel industry.

Fu Ziyan felt particularly happy just thinking about being able to use Japan's money to develop the mainland economy.
